looking for hell

Chapter 178 This opponent is troublesome!
Facing the three pairs of curious eyes, Yun Qianfeng didn't know where to start.

After thinking for a moment, pointing to the five-color silk rope on the stone, he said:
"In Chinese traditional culture, this is called the five-color 缯, each color represents a command flag, and the five colors are the military horse orders of the five gods.

In Chinese Taoism and Zhu Youkeli, this is a prop for human beings to communicate with incomprehensible life forms, and it is a way of communication with intimidation. Therefore, in Chinese culture, five-color silk ribbons are often tied on the wrists. To ward off evil spirits.

The nine pronunciations I chanted are called the nine-character mantra, and they are used to tell the danger makers who can't see or don't understand, if you don't leave, I will launch the army and horses to fight.

Of course, it should not be so mysterious in fact. I guess it is some kind of rules or some kind of genetic memory of some animals, just like a puppy that has never been beaten, and is afraid of people picking up stones on the ground.

The strange things I did, in the eyes of the unknown thing that was going to kill us just now, may be like a dog seeing a person squatting down to pick up rocks. "

Just as he was talking, Ender woke up. The first thing this guy did when he woke up was to vomit and look at the water while still yelling:

"Why is the light gone?"

Yun Qianfeng looked at the water and said:

"I'm about to get to this point, that there is never any magic light, everything is an illusion."

Several people were taken aback, they didn't quite understand what Yun Qianfeng meant.

John wondered:
"You mean, what we just saw was fake?"

Yun Qianfeng shook his head and said:
"There are lies in the truth, and there is truth in the false. The water, aquatic plants, and oases we see are all real, and the two light clusters on the water surface, one red and one green, are also real, but the artifact you see glowing is fake. Then It is the presentation of our extravagant hopes, and those two light clusters magnify what we want in our hearts."

"I'm not sure what those two light clusters are, but it's very similar to the fox hang Dan I heard about when I was a child in the mountains."

At this point, the four foreigners next to me couldn't understand.

Alfifa wondered:

"What is fox dandan?"

John couldn't believe it:
"You mean, the thing that was going to kill us just now was a fox? How is this possible?"

They must not know the magic of foxes in the eyes of prehistoric ancestors.

In ancient China, there was a saying that no fox could make a village.

It means that in ancient villages, there must be places for worshiping fox spirits.This custom reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and even every household worshiped fox stoves.

Some folklore scholars even believe that the custom of hanging gourds to ward off evil spirits in every household in China today comes from the evolution of the ancient form of worshiping fox stoves.

Therefore, it is very likely that the gourd does not mean the homophonic stalk "Fu Lu", but "Fox furnace".

As for why the worship of fox spirits was so prevalent in ancient times, and even prehistoric, Yun Qianfeng has no idea, but there must be a reason for everything, it's just that time makes people forget the "cause" and leave the "effect".

Yun Qianfeng replied:
"In Chinese legends, when a fox reaches a certain age, an inner alchemy will be formed in its abdomen, which is the essence of its soul energy, which means it is close to becoming a spirit. It is similar to the werewolf you know, except that the wolf It's just a fox.

Although this is just a legend, in the northern mountainous area, people often witness such a spectacle. Whenever they encounter two light balls, one red and one green, floating on the river, they must chant the nine-character mantra of Liujia Secret Zhu, otherwise they will die. Bewitched by a fox to commit suicide or a ghost hit a wall.

So I just suspected that we just witnessed such a weird thing, and then used the method of our hometown to deal with this encounter, and now it seems to be effective.

Otherwise, the three of you just drowned and died holding the fox. "

All three of Ander were surprised, and said in unison:
"Holding a fox? No, what we are hugging is a rock!"

Yun Qianfeng shook his head, pointed at the water, and said:

"See what that is?"

The three of them looked towards Yun Qianfeng, which was under a bush near the water.

Squinting and taking a closer look, it was just a few drowned foxes floating quietly on the water.

This weird scene made John stutter a little:
"Why is this happening?"

Yun Qianfeng said in a deep voice:

"It's the rule, one life for one life! After all, it's the spirit of all things, so it's not so easy to kill."

For some reason, they were clearly out of danger, but after hearing Yun Qianfeng's narration, they still broke out in cold sweat.

Inexplicable fear enveloped their hearts.

Alfifa lamented:

"A-Gump is right, China is really a magical country! How come you have so many magical things?"

Yun Qianfeng said casually:

"After thousands of years of civilization, there will naturally be more unsolved things discovered and seen, and naturally there will be more ways to deal with these strange things."

Fatina has been listening and rarely speaks. At this time, she said:

"Why are there five dead foxes floating on the water?"

There was a trace of fear in her voice.

Yun Qianfeng said in a low voice:

"The extra two are for our lives."

Hearing this, Alfifa smiled and said:

"Then it's a loss for the fox charm this time."

Ender and John laughed too.

Yun Qianfeng lit a cigarette and smoked silently, he didn't speak, let alone laugh.

Seeing Yun Qianfeng's expression, they felt a chill in their hearts, as if they had guessed something.

John looked at Yun Qianfeng, swallowed, and asked:

"Isn't it immortal?"

Yun Qianfeng exhaled a column of smoke, was silent for a moment, nodded, and said:

"In the human world, rules are alive, but in the eyes of other spiritual animals, rules are always rules and cannot be changed.

Just like a normal dog will not bite its owner, a water monitor lizard that is as powerful as a crocodile will never attack humans, and killer whales, the overlord of the ocean, are friendly to humans for unknown reasons, etc. These are rules that humans have forgotten, but they still Remember, many animals are inherited by genetic memory, which is far more complete than the memory of any human civilization.

The same is true for the fox. It has already paid for its life, so it will not allow the five of us to continue to live.

But don't worry too much, no matter how old the fox is, its size is only that big, it doesn't dare to be tough on humans, it still uses some charm methods, as long as we are careful, we don't need to be afraid of it. "

Obviously, Yun Qianfeng's words were of little consolation, except for Ander's confidence in Yun Qianfeng, the others had very bad expressions, obviously afraid.

Morale is important, Yun Qianfeng thought for a while and said:

"There is another piece of good news."

The four of them all looked at Yun Qianfeng, thinking that they were being targeted by monsters, so what good news could there be?

Yun Qianfeng pointed to the slender pool and said:

"Here we are waiting for work, the enemies who are waiting to kill us are all dead, right at the bottom of the water."

Ender is worthy of being an activist, he will not ask whether it is true or not, but to see for himself.

With a "plop", he jumped into the water with the knife in hand.

Not long after, he was seen floating up dragging a corpse.

As soon as Ender came up, he laughed and said loudly:
"Great warrior Yun, you are right, they are all dead, tied tightly to the bottom of the water by aquatic plants, hahaha! This is God protecting our great Fatina!"

Looking at the swollen corpse floating on the water and the fox corpse tightly hugged by the corpse, several people felt their scalps go numb.

Thinking of drinking water in the pool before, John and Alfifa could not help but bend over and vomit.

Fatina gritted her teeth and held back.

Yun Qianfeng lit another cigarette. It's okay if you don't look at it, but you can't stand it when you look at it.

Only Ender was still yelling excitedly.

Fatina said to Ander:
"Go underwater to find out if the artifact is below."

Ender got the order and hurriedly dived into the water.

John was also followed by Ender in the water.

After more than ten minutes, the two went back and forth to the bottom of the water several times before finally shaking their heads to confirm that the artifact was not underwater.

However, neither is there in the oasis.

Yun Qianfeng checked all the backpacks on the sand sledge, only some wine and food.

Several people looked puzzled, thinking about where the artifact meteorite would be hidden.

Yun Qianfeng came to Fatina's side and whispered into her ear:
"It was probably taken away by the fox spirit. No wonder it became a spirit. It must have come into contact with the meteorite and obtained the oracle. It is collecting all these meteorites just like you. Your competitor has changed from a human to a vixen."

Big trouble now!
