Of course there is no problem with Chen Kainan. After the two of us discussed it, we were ready to act separately as I said.
Then I found Wang Shengli and Li Tenglong. This time I didn't let them follow me. After all, the ancient city of Phoenix was mysterious and unpredictable, and I couldn't let them take risks even if I didn't understand things.
Of course, it is not useless for them to stay here. I asked Huzi to give them a signal gun, and the two sides communicated with each other.
Wang Shengli and Li Tenglong were fine, but what was unexpected was that Wang Xinghai insisted on following us to Fenghuang Ancient City this time.
At this moment, this second-generation rich man has guns hanging on his shoulders, and his face has the same expression as if he had a gun in his hand.
After getting along with each other in the past few days, I found that this second-generation rich man who was a bit careless before has gradually integrated into our team. From this point of view, he is still very manly.
Wang Shengli was naturally unwilling to let his son take risks, but Wang Xinghai said that we were here to do things for them and we could not be allowed to take risks alone. Wang Shengli could only grit his teeth and agreed.
I had no hesitation about this and readily agreed. Just like what is said in the movie, even a pair of underwear and a piece of toilet paper have their uses, right?
Moreover, Wang Xinghai is young and strong, and has a gun in his hand, so he can still be effective in any situation.
As for whether he is sincerely helping or just looking for excitement, it doesn't matter to me at all.
"Young Master Ninth, please rest assured, I, Wang Xinghai, am definitely not a coward!" Wang Xinghai was very happy and assured me, patting his chest.
A few minutes later, Huzi, Little Mute and Wang Xinghai and I set off together.
The target is the ancient city of Fenghuang at the foot of the hillside.
The range of Gu insects is only around the camp. Once outside this range, there is no route for Hu Qiu and the others to move.
Next, I had to find a way on my own. The simplest and most practical way was naturally the Star Compass, but what I didn't expect was that the compass lost its function here. The pointer rotated violently, but it couldn't point to the accurate direction at all.
.
"Master, what should we do?" Huzi saw that the compass was invalid and suddenly became anxious.
I looked at the fog-covered Fenghuang Ancient City in front of me and frowned slightly. I wasn't worried about finding Hu Qiu and the others. What I was worried about was the Fenghuang Ancient City itself.
Although I haven't stepped into it yet, I can already feel that this ancient city contains an unusually powerful aura. It is this aura that affects the Star Compass in my hand.
There are only two possibilities for this situation, either there is an ancient formation in the ancient city, or the city is affected by the earth's veins.
But no matter which situation it is, it is not what I want to see. In these two situations, one is born and the other is arranged by an expert. They are not ordinary means, but the more advanced things are, the more dangerous they are.
This is common sense in our industry.
Taking a deep breath, I took out a paper man from my backpack without hesitation and looked at Wang Xinghai.
"Wang Xinghai, aren't you clamoring to contribute? The opportunity has come."
Wang Xinghai was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that I would ask him to help so quickly. He looked at the paper man in my hand and asked with a guilty conscience:
"Master Ninth, how do you want me to help?"
I smiled slightly, said something simple, and then before Wang Xinghai could react, I reached out and grabbed his forehead.
He was already a living soul, so I pulled him out from between his eyebrows, and then slapped him into the paper man with one palm.
Due to the influence of the terrain here, ordinary paper puppetry cannot be performed at all, and a higher level method must be used.
As the soul entered, the cinnabar seal on the paper man suddenly burst out with a burst of red light, as if it was coming to life, and then the paper man was suddenly thrown into the air.
The paper man fell to the ground. I made a finger sign with my right hand and pointed upward sharply.
"rise!"
He could only stand up instantly.
Then, I chanted the Concentric Mantra in my mouth, and the cinnabar mark on it became a little brighter, and the paper figure also came to life on the side.
"Concentric soul locks, escaping thousands of miles, looking for it!"
As the last sentence of the Concentric Mantra fell, I dispersed the handprints.
The next moment, the paper man took direct steps and moved forward.
This scene made Wang Xinghai's eyes almost pop out of his head. He shook his dizzy head vigorously and looked at the paper man plunged into the fog in disbelief.
"Let me choke you, this is amazing!" His mouth opened wide.
The little mute was also surprised. He had obviously never seen such a scene.
"Master, when did you cast the Concentric Curse?" Huzi asked in surprise.
"Of course when Zhong Lan shows up." I replied.
"Is he fat?"
I nodded, "I was worried about your impulsiveness, so I didn't tell you that Fatty was my back-up man."
After saying that, I suddenly raised my hand and said, "Follow me, pay attention to safety, Huzi, stay behind!"
"Yes, Master!" Huzi suddenly became energetic.
I looked at Wang Xinghai and the little mute, "Remember what I just told you, and be careful."
After saying that, I stepped forward and followed the paper man directly into the fog.
Behind him, the three of them followed closely.
As soon as I stepped into the mist, I immediately felt a faint breath coming towards my face.
It's just that this breath is neither yin nor evil, but a very comfortable feeling.
This is somewhat beyond my expectation.
However, I didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. I followed the paper man forward while being cautious and secretly on guard.
The paper man had the character of Fatty on it, which was connected to Fatty's soul. Under my special control, the speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, we moved forward a hundred meters.
At this time, the buildings in Fenghuang Ancient City finally appeared in front of us.
These are two totem poles that are as thick as a bucket and more than ten feet tall. They are carved from yellow stone. The overall structure is extremely simple. It is neither a dragon or a phoenix nor a special shape. It is just a cylindrical pillar.
.
After years of erosion, this pillar has been severely weathered and corroded, but in the middle of the table, I can still vaguely distinguish a pattern there, a figure similar to the shape of a flame.
I have seen this pattern before.
Among the scrolls Mrs. Chen gave me, this was the first one, so I was very impressed.
It wasn't until the moment I saw the totem that I was sure of one thing. Most of the things recorded in the scroll the old lady gave me were true.
Because totem itself is a carrier and symbol of the earliest human history and cultural characteristics.
The presence of totems means there is truth, there is no doubt about this.
As for totems, I really studied them when I was in college.
The so-called totem means that people in primitive times regard certain animals, plants or non-living things as their relatives, ancestors or protectors, or as a form of expression to reflect the blood relationship of the race.
Totems exist all over the world. As for the earliest origin and where, there is considerable controversy among academic circles.
In China, according to the regional distribution of ancient culture, the history of totems can be roughly divided into three major groups.
They are the Dongyi, Huaxia and Miao tribes.
Among them, the Dongyi tribe also includes the Taihao system, which uses dragons and snakes as totems. It first existed in five thousand years or even seven or eight thousand years ago.
Then came the Shaohao system - with the bird (phoenix) as the totem.
I couldn't help but think of this sentence in my mind, the black bird of destiny comes down to give birth to business.
Could it be that this is a tribe from the Shang Dynasty?
