Raising Gu Notes

(Chapter 2 to.)

The old woman's aura suddenly disappeared, which surprised Xie Lin. After thinking for a while, he whistled into the sky.

Soon, Dahei flew down from the sky.

Schelling said a few words to it, and asked it to look for the old woman, to do some reconnaissance, to see if the old woman was still ahead.

Dahei immediately flew out again.

Xie Lin and the others waited anxiously for a few minutes, and Dahei finally came back, but when Xie Lin asked if it found the old woman, Dahei shook his head.

Apparently Dahei didn't find any trace of the old woman, otherwise, it would have taken Xie Lin and the others there immediately.

After receiving Dahei's feedback, the three of Xie Lin couldn't help but look at each other.

"She won't find out that we are following her, so she hides her aura?" Zhang Lang couldn't help asking.

Ba Xiaolan also nodded, having the same guess.

Xie Lin shook his head. Only he knew that the old woman's injury was actually more serious than it appeared on the surface. She used the Gu technique twice to make up her mind to kill Xie Lin and the others, which can be said to be a blow with all her might , but was broken by Huohuo and Smelly one after another, she was backlashed on the spot, and was seriously injured. Logically speaking, she has no ability to hide her aura now.

Moreover, to hide a person's aura, not only can you just think about it, but you must have sufficient preparation time, and the old woman walked very slowly at the time, and it took at least a few minutes to get here Even for more than ten minutes, Xie Lin didn't feel that she could completely hide her aura in such a short period of time.

After Xie Lin looked around carefully, he found that the old woman's breath was completely cut off.

Seeing Xie Lin's denial, Zhang Lang couldn't help being even more surprised, and looked at Xie Lin fixedly: "Don't you say that she evaporated from the world?"

"Evaporation is naturally impossible." Ba Xiaolan said with a serious face, "Since she can't completely hide her aura in such a short period of time, there is only one possibility. She's hiding her breath."

There was a strange look in Xie Lin's eyes, but he said that there was another possibility, maybe the old woman had been killed by the person hiding in the dark like the people they met before, who came to look for the little girl named Xiaoxing There are no bones left.

Hearing what Xie Lin said, Zhang Lang couldn't help but change his face, and turned his head to look around.

But Xie Lin smiled again, saying that he found nothing unusual about the surrounding grass, and there were no weird potholes like they had encountered before, so Ba Xiaolan's guess was more likely.

Zhang Lang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Xie Lin what to do.

"One step is one step." Xie Lin pouted forward and said, "Let's just keep going."

He pointed to the front right again, "Let's go there and have a look."

"Where?" Zhang Lang and Ba Xiaolan looked puzzled.

Xie Lin was startled, and then smiled wryly. He told Zhang Lang and Ba Xiaolan that there was also a watchtower at the foot of a mountain in front of him. Xie Lin even vaguely saw a light on that watchtower.

Because Zhang Lang and Ba Xiaolan's eyesight was not as good as Xie Lin's, and they didn't see the watchtower, let alone any lights, that's why they were so confused.

After hearing what Schelling said, they were also refreshed.

So the three of them, led by Smelly and Huohuo, went to the watchtower.

They walked towards the right front, that is, southeast, for about ten minutes, and they were very close to the watchtower. Under Xie Lin's instructions, Zhang Lang and Ba Xiaolan could vaguely see the watchtower.

In the middle of the watchtower, it seems that the windows are still open, and a faint light comes out from the watchtower. If you don't look carefully, it looks like the stars in the sky.

However, to the surprise of Xie Lin and the others, they discovered by the light that the watchtower was not quite the same as the octagonal watchtower they had seen before.The watchtower they had seen before was octagonal, but this watchtower did not have so many corners. The protruding corners seemed to be less, and the height was no higher than that of the octagonal watchtower.

Ba Xiaolan speculated that the watchtower was probably a square or hexagonal watchtower.

Generally speaking, the corners of this kind of watchtower are even numbers, the least is four corners, and there are six corners, eight corners, and even ten or twelve corner towers, because this is more symmetrical, and it is relatively easy to build towers. , because each corner of the watchtower is equal, a circle is 360 degrees, and it is relatively easier to divide it into even equal parts.

Of course, from a construction point of view, the more corners a watchtower has, the more difficult it is to build. Therefore, in Danba County, the hometown of thousands of blockhouses, most watchtowers are square or octagonal, and octagonal is the most common.

This kind of watchtower is also built by the people themselves. The size of the watchtower also shows the financial resources of a family. If the financial resources are not enough, naturally the watchtower can only be built smaller. , In the past, it also showed the identity and status of a family. The higher the status, the more noble the status, the greater the financial resources, and the more majestic the watchtowers built.

But now Xie Lin and the others didn't bother to find out whether the watchtower in front of them had four corners or eight corners. Everyone was a little excited when they saw the faint lights in the watchtower.

Just walked forward for about a few hundred meters, but Xie Lin stopped suddenly.

Zhang Lang hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Xie Lin pointed to the direction of the watchtower, and said that the lights in the watchtower seemed to have suddenly dimmed a few times.If it was only dimmed for a while, Xie Lin probably wouldn't care about it, but what he saw just now was that the light dimmed several times rhythmically, so he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

It's just that Zhang Lang and Ba Xiaolan saw that the light was still on there, and nothing unusual happened.

"Don't worry about it, hurry up." Xie Lin urged without thinking too much.

The three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the direction of the watchtower.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the three finally came to the watchtower.

It's just that the three of them couldn't help being a little surprised and surprised, because the watchtower was pitch black and there were no lights.

Schelling found that the window in the middle of the watchtower had also been closed.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lang couldn't help asking.

Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan remained silent.

When they came to the tower, they found that it was a hexagonal tower, much smaller than the octagonal tower, and less than 20 meters high, much shorter than the octagonal tower.

Next to the watchtower, there is also a two-story, three-room civil structure building. Outside the building, there is a wooden ladder on the right, leading from the first floor to the second floor.

Just like the watchtower, this building is also completely dark, there is no light or sound, and it seems that no one lives there.

This surprised the three of Schelling.

The three of them first came to the bottom of the watchtower. Under the watchtower, there was a wooden door about two meters high, but the wooden door was also tightly closed.

"Is there no one?" Zhang Lang murmured, glanced at Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan, then walked to the wooden door and pushed the wooden door, but the wooden door did not move at all.

It seems that the wooden door has been locked.

Zhang Lang looked at Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan again, then knocked on the wooden door: "Is anyone there?"

It's just that there was a dead silence inside the watchtower, and there was no response.

Afterwards Zhang Lang knocked a few more times, but as always, the inside of the watchtower was very quiet, there was no movement, it seemed that there was no one inside.

The three of them stood in a daze for a while, and then came to the wooden building. On the first floor, from left to right, the three of them pushed the wooden doors of each room one by one, only to find that the doors of the three rooms on the first floor were all locked from the inside. It's locked and can't be pushed open.

Zhang Lang asked a few more times, but there was no response.

The three of them came to the second floor, and when they approached the first room, they found that the door of this room was ajar. Zhang Lang pushed lightly, and the door creaked, slowly opened.

The three looked at each other, and Zhang Lang asked again: "Is anyone there?"

It's just that there is no response inside.

Zhang Lang glanced at Xie Lin and the others, then walked in.

Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan followed closely.

Entering the room, the three of them were stunned.

This room is about ten square meters, not too big, but it looks very empty, because there is no furniture in the room, only three puppets.

The three puppets are very rough, and only the hands, feet and head can be vaguely seen. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a wooden stake. Then there are thin lines of various colors, just like spider webs.

Xie Lin and Ba Xiaolan looked at it for a while, but their expressions couldn't help changing, because they found that the red dots marked the acupuncture points on the human body.

These red dots make the three simple puppets come alive, and also make the three puppets look a little weird.

The three of them took a closer look, but didn't see anything else, so they pushed out of the room.

In the second room, the door was still ajar. After pushing in, Xie Lin and the others found some sundries piled up in the room. After the three of them looked carefully, they found nothing unusual.

The third room is a kitchen with a clay-sculpted stove and pots and pans, and there is nothing unusual about it.

The three couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Zhang Lang couldn't help but opened his throat and called out, "Is there anyone? Is there no one?"

It's just that he yelled, but there was still no response.

"Come on, let's go to the watchtower." Ba Xiaolan said.

It stands to reason that the wooden door under the watchtower is locked from the inside, and there should be someone inside the watchtower.

The three of them walked towards the wooden ladder.
