Chapter 19 Sleepwalking (2)

After understanding this section, I didn't dare to get too close to the bed for fear of scattering the old man's soul.

After thinking about it, I felt that the reason why the old man was dreaming might be related to the evil spirit that had been pestering him for many years. The old man must have remembered something, so I decided to go out and look for him.

As soon as I came outside, I saw a dark figure running towards me in the alley in the distance. I quickly held my breath and stood against the wall. When I got closer, I could vaguely recognize it in my dizziness.

It was identified that it was the old man.

He was nearly 60 years old and had been paralyzed for many years. At this moment, he walked like a gust of wind, and at the same time, he exuded a gloomy ghostly aura. I went back to the old house ahead of him. As soon as I stood firm, the old man walked in.

.

Looking through the light, I saw a lot of muddy water on his pajamas. His body was stiff and his eyes were dull. He looked like a corpse crawling out of a grave. He looked particularly scary.

The old man jumped into bed and didn't move any more. When he woke up the next day, he was back to his original appearance, but he looked even more haggard and weak. I tried to ask him again

,'Uuuuuuuuuuuu' I can't understand a word I said.

I didn't dare to tell Xiaoqing and the others what happened last night. I only told them that the muddy water on the old man's body was caused by him waking up in the middle of the night last night and accidentally slipping while I was carrying him out to relieve himself.

. I felt that the old man would sleepwalk at night, so I decided to stay and follow him to see where he would go. I called Xiang Feng and asked him to help me.

When I heard that Xiang Feng was coming, Xiao Qing was as happy as anything. I have no doubt that if she hadn't gotten married, she would have thrown Xiang Feng down like crazy.

That night, we separated everyone, and there were only three people in the old house: me, Xiang Feng, and the old man. When it was nearly twelve o'clock, Xiaoqing ran in again, saying that he was bringing us supper, but in fact it was

I wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Xiangfeng. I scolded him and kicked him out. I told him that if he didn’t want the old man to die, he should go to bed immediately and not come out no matter what noise he heard. Xiaoqing and Miss Bai were both on fire.

One is like Bing. I don’t know how they became best friends.

The continuous spring rain has been falling for two days in a row. As the rain breathed into my lungs, my whole body seemed to become damp.

Listening to the intermittent rain outside, Xiangfeng and I stood silently beside the old man's bed, waiting quietly.

Time passed by minute by second, and it was almost one o'clock. The old man made no movement at all. He was lying on the bed, his chest rising and falling in a deep sleep.

In the past, I would have been impatient and restless. I discovered that learning alchemy can not only give people extraordinary abilities, but also enable them to see through the essence of many things and become mature and stable.

Master intentionally wanted us to experience more things and be tempered, so he did not follow us. Although what we are facing this time is not an ordinary thing. What kind of evil the old man is fighting for, none of us know now. The more unknown it is, the more unknown it is.

The more disturbing and frightening something is.

"You can stay here to guard the old man's soul later." Xiang Feng said softly, "With a physique like his, he will become weaker every time he sleepwalks, and it is easy for him to lose his soul."

"It's better for me to go out. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on. You are more capable than me."

Both Xiang Feng and I know that it is relatively safer to stay in the old house without having to face unknown dangers. Also, after we have studied with the master for so long, the more dangerous and exciting things are, the more we want to get ahead and try our own.

ability.

Xiang Feng looked at me, smiled faintly, and was about to speak when I stopped him.

"If I were a woman, I would definitely not be able to resist the charm of your smile." I said jokingly, "People say that men are the master of the house and women are the master of the house. If I stay, I will become a woman. I don't want to fall in love with you. So.

It’s better that you stay, my lord, and you can help me.”

When it comes to eloquence, Xiang Feng is no match for me, so he smiled and said nothing more.

"Right, so..."

"Shh..." Xiang Feng raised his finger at me, and when I saw it, the old man had already opened his eyes.

I secretly clenched my fists, and all the muscles in my body tensed up.

The old man didn't even blink, staring blankly upward. After about a minute, he slowly sat up.

The way he sat up made it feel like there was a spring behind him, slowly supporting him up.

"A Leng."

"Um?"

"Be careful later."

"Yeah." My heart felt hot and I nodded.

At this time, I saw the old man leaping from the bed to the ground. If you were a timid person, you might faint from the fright of his corpse-like leap.

As the old man went out, I followed closely and walked outside.

It was still raining at that time, but it was very light, and the air was very cold. I followed the old man slowly, walking through the streets and alleys, and soon left the county town. The old man showed no sign of stopping.

Looking at his emaciated, ghostly back, I kept sweating in my hands.

As we walked further and further, I followed him across wheat fields and ditches until we came to a dense forest. The forest was quite big, with more than a hundred trees. As soon as I walked in, I felt a gloomy atmosphere, and there was a thick layer of grass under my feet.

A thick layer of dead branches and leaves.

It was very dark in the forest. I opened my eyes wide and could barely see the figure of the old man. Because I was afraid of disturbing him, I didn't dare to turn on the flashlight and even walked very lightly. If I woke him up, he would die immediately.

The rain hit the leaves, and the forest was filled with a rustling sound like spring silkworms spinning silk. From time to time, rainwater fell into my neck, which was ice-cold.

I followed the old man through the woods, and as I walked, the old man suddenly disappeared. I gritted my teeth and turned on the flashlight, and when I looked at it, it turned out that the old man was lying on the ground, sniffing while crawling, and occasionally pulling something with his hand.

, that look, much like a dog.

My first reaction was that he was looking for something. Could it be that the evil spirit was buried in this forest?

The old man rummaged in the forest for a long time, but finally found nothing. He jumped up and quickly left the forest.

At that time, I thought that the evil spirit we had been looking for might be in that forest. Therefore, I did not go back with the old man. I stood there, feeling a little excited. As long as there is something hidden in the forest, I can find it.

.

Some time ago, Xiang Feng and I were able to hide and find each other, to the point where we could find a matchbox in a dense forest with only a cup of tea.

Generally, using Qimen to find something depends on the starting situation. For example, taking Shi Qian as the thing you are looking for, and judging the location of the thing through the position of Shi Qian in the game. Then use Rigan as the person who is looking for the thing.

, that is, you measure the distance between the day stem and the hour stem, and use the ratio to calculate how far away you are from what you are looking for... In addition, there are other methods, etc.

At the beginning of the game, you can only find things above the ground. As for the things buried underground, you need to rely on magical magic. The so-called "buried underground" is a way of "escape" in Qimen.

I took out my phone and looked at the date and time. I figured out through mental calculation that if I wanted to find something to 'escape' at this point in time, I needed to use the 'Ding Mao Talisman'. The 'Ding Mao Talisman' is the 'Six Ding Liujia Divine Talisman'

One of them, I have it in my bag. When I use Faqimen to find things, I rely on divine help.

I walked to the edge of the forest, burned a 'Ding Mao Talisman', and while silently reciting the 'Jade Girl Anti-Closing Technique' used by the gods, I concentrated on sensing the information conveyed to me by the various things buried in the forest with the help of the gods.

, this is a kind of magic that is similar to seeing through walls, but it relies on telepathy instead of eyes. This kind of magic must have a certain foundation in alchemy before it can be practiced.

Through perception, I found that there were basically no other debris except dead branches and leaves buried in this forest. It seemed that few people came here. In this way, I felt it while walking, and when I walked more than 20 steps

, I suddenly sensed a vague metallic object about fifteen steps above and to my left.

I opened my eyes, identified the location, and counted it step by step until I came to a tree. When I shined a flashlight, I saw that it was a thick locust tree, and the thing should be buried under this tree.

My heart was beating wildly. The old man's stroke might be related to the thing buried under the tree.

I didn't dare to be careless, so I took out the Seven-Star Sword and put it aside. Then I took out the shovel from my bag and dug carefully. There was a thick layer of fallen leaves under the tree. As soon as I dug, all I could smell was mold.

Rotten smell.

I dug more than a foot deep before I found the soil. The soil was sticky and fishy. I dug more than half a meter deep, and then I heard a "thump" and something was dug out.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and cleared away the loose soil, and a square iron box was revealed, about one foot square. It took me a lot of effort to pry the box out. After weighing it, I felt that the box

Very lightly. I shook it, but there was no sound. It seemed like there was nothing inside.

The box was full of rust, so I scratched and pried it until dawn, then I pried it open. I saw a small cloth bag lying in the box.

The tentacles of the cloth bag were smooth and delicate, and it felt like it should be made of silk. I used a lighter to burn the rope binding the cloth bag, and when I shook it, a piece of folded square paper fell out of the bag.

When I opened it, I saw that the paper was filled with strange words. I put the paper in front of my face, and suddenly I felt that I had seen these words somewhere. After carefully identifying them, I was surprised. Because these words were related to the ancestral graves of Xiaoqing's family.

The words engraved on the 'Wooden Bagua' dug out from the cave are exactly the same. The master said that this is a kind of 'spell'.

At this time, it was already dawn, and the morning light shone through the gaps between the trees on the piece of paper. I suddenly discovered that there was something written on the back of the paper.

Turning it over, I saw eight characters, which were combined in twos. After careful identification, they turned out to be the birth date of the old man!

At this time, I had realized that the old man was not an evil spirit that I accidentally bumped into, but was man-made. Thinking of this, I turned the box over and slammed it on the ground. When I took the box away, I saw a few hairs on the ground.

There are ways to help people seek good luck and avoid disasters in Faqimen. When a disaster is predicted in advance, take a lock of hair of the person concerned and match it with a piece of paper with the birth date and mantra written on it. Use the Qimen method to choose auspiciousness.

If the time is auspicious, burying hair and paper there can help the person avoid disaster.

However, if the mantra is chosen incorrectly, or the place of burial is not auspicious, not only will it not be able to attract good fortune and avoid misfortune, but it will actually add to the misfortune.

The forest in front of us is not a good place in terms of geographical location and feng shui. Moreover, this box is buried under a shady tree like a locust tree, and there is this spell on the paper...
