Old Way

"Want to run?"

The girl in green shirt raised her mouth slightly, and she took a step forward, and her slender figure had reached ten feet away.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi hesitated for a moment and had to follow him.

When he was in Jiao Mansion, he had the intention to go to Liaozhou as soon as possible. Then he took the opportunity to leave with Mu Yingxian. He didn't really want to find the short and fat mountain bone man, but he was about to say goodbye to the girl, but the other party had already chased him and didn't give him a chance to speak.

The two of them quickly chased for more than ten feet and found the end of the green spiritual thread. They saw that they were still on the long street in front of Jiao Mansion, and they were directly buried in a square bluestone used to pave the ground in the middle of the road.

Seeing the girl in green clothes stopping by the bluestone, Qi Jingzhi rushed to the front, and his strange and ferocious face was so scared that pedestrians along the way were away.

He looked down and saw that the bluestone was eroded by wind and rain. It looked obviously much older than the surrounding bluestone. There were four words engraved on the bumpy stone surface.

When Qi Jingzhi carefully identified it, he saw that the carving on it was not "the scattered stones" but "ancient nests and old ways".

After a moment of thinking, he realized that Linzhou was named after Linshan, and Chaozhou was named after Chaojiang. If it was truly carved on this bluestone, then the place where the two of them stood at this time was the old Chaojiang River channel that was countless years ago.

Things in the world change and the world changes, all of them are spoken by this place, which is silent and unmoving.

The girl in green clothes swept her eyes over the bluestone engravings, looked up at the corner of her head, and at the same time, her slender fingers in her sleeves were silently tugging.

After a moment, she stared at a well at the corner of the street in front of her, and flashed, leaving again.

Qi Jingzhi, who was originally trying to speak, had no choice but to shut up. The crane technique suddenly moved, and a strong wind was brought under his feet.

In this way, they checked the swing stone rack next to the well, the bluestone millstone in the tofu shop, the medicinal stone pounding jar in the medicinal material shop, the stone lotus base on the columns of the stage outside the Chenghuang Temple, and even the water-suppressing beast head on the arch top of a stone arch bridge.

Qi Jingzhi noticed that most of these places have the four words "Ancient Nest and Old Way" engraved in inconspicuous places, and even the wheel rack, the stone pillar base and the water-suppressing beast head themselves are things like the evil stake outside Jiaofu.

This arrangement is not so much a mark on the old river channel of the past, but rather a use of countless powerful objects to nail the ancient nest to the earth.

After a long time, the two finally saw the familiar figure of the green turban robe in a deep and narrow alley.

The short and fat mountain Gulang squatted at the door of a house, unaware of the visitor. He was using both hands and digging the soil hard. At this moment, a very deep pit had been dug out.

In the pit, there was a stone pier that was originally buried in the soil.

Qi Jingzhi and the girl in green looked at each other and walked closer with a gentle hand and foot. They saw the stone pier roughly cylindrical, with a large bottom and a small top, and a round hole-shaped groove at the center of the top.

This thing is found in Shanqian Village. Qi Jingzhi has seen a lot since he was a child. It is a grinding mill on a stone mill, also called a stone crane. He didn't expect to be buried here and made a stone pier for resting in front of the door.

He remembered the girl's previous words, looked closer and for a brief look, and found a long list of inaccurate engravings on the lower half of the stone wall towards the side of the alley, but the content engraved was very different from what Qi Jingzhi had thought before.

While trying hard to identify, he whispered: "Shihu, Shidadao, and does not invade what he wants, Long Weiyang."

In addition, there is another string of small words under these twelve engravings, which are not only more blurred and difficult to distinguish, but are also covered by black soil.

Qi Jingzhi was about to take a closer look when he heard the girl in green whisper: "This is "Jiu Juezhang", which is used by some ancient sects to open up the secrets for their children."

"Each word in these four sentences is a separate surname. The three surnames in the second sentence are combined together, which happen to be the name of the ancestor of the stone clan in the legend. The ancestor stones that the Shijing of Qi State jointly respects are its descendants. Carving this name on the bluestone also has the effect of suppressing evil spirits, but ordinary corpses can't bear it. As for why I took out the other three sentences and engraved them here, I had no idea for a while..."

"Oncestor of the Stone Clan? Do you dare to do it?" Qi Jingzhi's thoughts turned and he was secretly concerned.

He looked up at the house in front of him, but no matter how he used the spiritual orifice, he didn't see anything unusual. It was just an ordinary house, far from the residence of the Yunxiang Marquis of Jiao's family.

"No need to see, this evil-suppressing stone has been buried here for many years. Maybe it was arranged here when the city was built, and it was even here when it was flooded by the Chaojiang River."

The girl in green clothes said, and suddenly squatted down, reached out and brushed away the dirt stained on the string of small characters, and identified word by word: "The Shi family's veins are paraffin wax in Wei, stone buy, stone evil, stone makers in Zheng, stone makers in Zhou, stone speed in Qi, stones in Qi, stones in avoiding this, don't collide!"

After thinking about it, the girl's eyebrows were slightly frowning, and her expression became solemn: "I was wondering just now, why is this evil-suppressing stone so tough that even the Shan Gulang could not do anything to him, so he could only dig the soil honestly. After all, the name of the stone ancestor is just the name of the evil-suppressing evil, but he will not make things difficult for his descendants. This fool is obviously a relative who does not recognize him and has no fear of the name of the ancestor..."

"It turns out that there was an expert who added these words to the back. Not only did he greatly increase his ability to ward off evil spirits, but he also blocked the descendants of Shi's family."

After saying that, the girl in green looked at the short and fat man who was digging the soil at her feet and her eyes gradually lit up: "I don't know what is under this evil-suppressing stone, but she has to use such a big formation!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingzhi could only secretly sigh that the girl had seen so much, and that there were so many secrets in Chaozhou City.

Next, both of them kept silent, and at the same time, they focused their eyes on Shan Gulang without disturbing them rashly. After all, they saw this short and fat man when he was in Jiao Mansion. Once this short and fat man decided to do something, it was to say that he was focused and persevering, but to put it in a bad way, he was to have a lack of mind and was stupid and stupid.

Fortunately, it was very clever and strong. Its two fat hands were digging the soil like flying. First, it squatted on the ground, with its butt sticking high, and its upper body tugged into the pit. Later, it simply lay on the edge of the pit. It stretched forward and digged the black soil into splashing everywhere.

Not long after, it dug out the entire stone carp.

A lifelike stone turtle with closed eyes gradually appeared under the stone cage.

The stone turtle's feet are as big as a millstone, and its shell and stone turtle are close together. For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether the stone turtle was carrying stone turtle or was suppressed by stone turtle.

It was not until most of the stone turtle was dug out that the short and fat man finally calmed down.

It lay on the edge of the pit, its eyes widened, stared at the stone turtle motionlessly for a while, suddenly reached out and poked the stone turtle's closed eyes with its thick and short fingers.

Unexpectedly, the stone turtle, which had no movement before, suddenly shrank its neck and put its head into the turtle shell.

At that moment, Qi Jingzhi felt the ground under his feet tremble slightly.

But the tremor came and went quickly. Without waiting for his careful sensing, a loud shout suddenly came from behind, as if a thunder exploded: "What a group of monsters! How dare you move the devil and make a fool of yourself!"
