"Auntie, what do you mean by this? What do you mean that the thirteen needles of Guimen just removed the poison from my body?" When I heard this, I became a little panicked.
"Zhou Cang, do you know why my grandfather didn't make the vaccine that could suppress the plague public to the world?" my aunt said, somewhat confused.
How could I know this?
I muttered silently in my heart, isn't this trying to make things difficult for me?
Perhaps seeing that I didn't answer, my aunt continued: "That's because after more than 20 years of research and interviews with many folk doctors, my grandfather discovered that this virus may have originated from ancient times.
period, and the 13 injections of Gui Men Shi that added Aizhu were not at all suppressing the virus. The reason why the plague at that time was controlled was because the virus disappeared on its own."
"The virus disappeared on its own. How is this possible?" I raised my voice and said.
"Yes, mother, does this virus still have a will of its own? Can it come when it wants and disappear when it wants?" Chen Mo also expressed doubts.
"After my grandfather's research, there is an unknown force controlling behind any disease. This is why, when a person is born, our destiny has already been written." My aunt said, and then,
She did not forget to add another sentence: "I know that you young people are all atheists, and I will not argue with you, but in the future, or in a long time, you will definitely feel guilty for today's ignorance.
And regret it.”
"Auntie, if we believe for the time being that someone is controlling this virus, or that someone is controlling people's illnesses, then how can we explain the poison I have now? It should be regarded as an accidental event.
, or is it an inevitable event?" I asked.
"It's an inevitable event. Even if you don't get to Chen's house, you will be poisoned." My aunt said, and she didn't know why, but she laughed.
"Zhou Cang, things have reached this level, so don't argue about chance and necessity. Let's first listen to mother and tell her if there is a way to detoxify. Otherwise, do you want to lie in bed like a zombie for the rest of your life?
?”
Chen Mo is always more rational than me, even in such an environment.
"Aunt, did your grandfather finally figure out how to make this virus disappear?" I said.
At this time, I felt that if I talked about annihilation, it might go against my aunt's worldview.
"If we want to make the virus disappear, we need to carry out an ancient sacrificial activity for the people parasitized by the virus." said my aunt.
I don’t know why, when she 1 mentioned sacrificial offerings, I immediately thought of sacrificial astrologers.
As expected, her next words had already touched on this matter: "I know that you have been looking for the astrolabe, but you don't know that people have already done these things before you, including your father."
"Mother, you are saying that my father has also been looking for the astrolabe, but why is this? What can the astrolabe bring us?" Chen Mo asked.
"I don't know either. I have never participated in these things, and I have also been preventing your father from participating. However, Chen Yu is a fan of the authorities and simply cannot listen to what I say. Since fate has arranged it this way, I will just go with it.
He's gone." These words of my aunt sounded like there was a secret sadness mixed in them.
"So, my father finally died on the way to pursue the astrolabe." Chen Mo said in a low voice, looking at the ground, not daring to look at his mother.
"Hey, this is life. No one can escape. Just like Zhou Cang, you are the same." My aunt said and suddenly turned to me.
"I, I can't escape either. Why can't I escape?" I was a little confused about Zhang Er's head.
This was originally about your family, but why did it suddenly happen to me? Moreover, it doesn’t sound like a good thing.
"Zhou Cang, I know that the Zhou family has always been opposed to finding astrolabes, especially your father. Although I don't know what your attitude is, I guess it won't be much different. But...
Fate has its way, and your family is deeply entangled in this matter," said my aunt.
"Auntie, I don't quite understand. Although I really don't have much interest in the astrolabe, all this journey has been of my own free will. No one forced me to do anything." I explained.
"Yes, I know, that's why I say fortune plays tricks on people." My aunt said, "Moer, Zhou Cang, do you know why I have been living at the bottom of a well for the past ten years?"
I think my aunt is starting to say the key questions.
After Chen Mo and I looked at each other, we both shook our heads.
"I'm guarding these astrolabees," said my aunt.
"Guard the astrolabe?" Chen Mo and I shouted in unison.
As expected, there is also an astrolabe at the bottom of the well.
"Yes, and the men in felt cloaks you just saw were also made by me. The Yu family is not only excellent in medical skills, but also has a lot of research on Lu Ban's technique. I have not had much interest in medicine since I was a child.
But they like to tinker with these things. According to your modern terminology, these felt cloaked people should be called robots." My uncle said in surprise.
"So, you asked these people in felt cloaks to let us in?" I asked.
"Yes, otherwise, even my father wouldn't be able to get into the bottom of this well in the past ten years, let alone you two young boys?" said the aunt.

"But why did you let us in?" I asked.
"Because when you fell into the well, I found out that you were poisoned. Based on the relationship between my aunt and I, it was impossible for me to leave you alone. That's why I let you in." said the aunt.
"Aunt, do you know where my mother is?" I suddenly remembered the purpose of my trip.
"Of course, she is here too, but she doesn't want to see you at the moment, but don't worry, my aunt is not in danger for the time being, but she is also poisoned by the same virus as you, but her virus came from Wawushan
The ones brought out from the ancient temple are a little different from yours." said my aunt.
"Auntie, I understand. Only by finding all the astrolabees and then performing sacrifices to them can we drive away all these viruses from my mother and me." I said with sudden enlightenment.
"Yes, but the astrolabe has already been collected, so the biggest problem now is the sacrificial ceremony." said the aunt.
"Has the astrolabe been collected?" Chen Mo asked, "Mother, what do you mean by this?"
"The eight astrolabees are currently at the bottom of the well. As for why they are here, I will tell you in detail later. The most important thing now is to find the sacrificial ritual as soon as possible. My aunt may not have much time." My aunt said.
1 When I heard that my mother’s time was running out, I immediately became anxious: “Auntie, where can I find the sacrificial ceremony?”
"Mustang is the place where the Kuafu tribe's civilization originated, and it has been little damaged by industrial civilization. I believe that their tribe's oldest sacrificial rituals must still exist there," my aunt said.

It turns out that after going around in circles, the final goal is still pointed at Mustang.
