Ling Fan and his party finally entered the legendary psychedelic forest, and this legendary forest was just as people had rumored before. There were no animals and there was deathly silence everywhere. However, the inference that there were no living creatures was later confirmed.
It was inferred that because everyone found a corpse, a rotting corpse covered with white flesh maggots and strange et characters, and Tian Yu also found a black shadow in the forest.
"Who?!" Just as Tian Yu was thinking about the meaning of those two English letters, two rays of light suddenly shot out from his beautiful eyes and he shouted towards a nearby tree.
Sure enough, there was a crash, and a shadow that looked like a human or an animal flashed past from behind the tree, and then disappeared.
Just as Tian Yu was about to chase, Ling Fan quickly stopped Tian Yu, shook his head and said: "Tian Yu, I will never let you leave my sight again. No matter what it is, don't chase it. From now on
, we have to be more careful, this forest seems to hide a lot of secrets, and until we find the truth, we can't separate at any cost."
"Yes, Mr. Ling is right. We cannot be separated. If we get separated, the consequences will be disastrous." Gu Rufeng seemed to have noticed the strangeness of this forest and said solemnly.
Ling Fan stood up and looked at the forest in front of him and said, "I think everyone should be careful in the future. There may not be only the four of us in this forest."
"Ling Fan, what do you mean?" Tanya asked carefully.
Ling Fan nodded and said: "What I mean is, maybe someone is secretly watching us from somewhere we can't see, so we must be careful and never separate."
"Boy Ling, do you think that dark witch is really in this forest?" Gu Rufeng asked, "Is that old witch lying to us? The purpose is to trick us into this forest forever.
I can’t get out.”
As soon as these words came out, Ling Fan was shocked. He patted his head violently and shouted regretfully: "Oops, why didn't I think of this problem? Maybe that old witch really had this plan."
"Yes, yes, that's what the old witch meant. Let's go back!" Seeing that his casual words were approved by Ling Fan, Gu Rufeng immediately said that he was going back home, but when he walked out a few steps
After taking a step, he stopped. He forgot which direction he came from before, because the whole forest was covered with fog, no matter which direction he went, it was the same, "Boy Ling, where are we coming from?"
Which direction are you coming from? Why can’t I tell the difference?!"
Ling Fan smiled and said: "Old Gu, you have forgotten that Tian Yu made a mark on the way here. Look at the roots of those trees. Anything with knife scratches is the direction we are coming from."
Gu Rufeng quickly ran towards those big trees, then squatted down to see which tree had the mark on it.
However, not long after, Lao Gu suddenly ran back, his face looking very panicked, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Lao Gu, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly. Have you found the mark?" Ling Fan said with a smile.
Lao Gu nodded, but then shook his head. After a long time, he grinned and almost cried: "Boss Ling, we are finished. We are really lost and have encountered a ghost!"
Ling Fan frowned after listening to Lao Gu's confused words and asked: "Lao Gu, why are we lost? Didn't Tian Yu leave a mark? Can't we just follow it and go back?!"
But Gu Rufeng shook his head and said: "Boy Ling, it's not that I didn't find the mark, it's that there are too many marks. There are marks on all the trees!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and hurriedly ran forward to check the trees. Sure enough, as Lao Gu said, every tree had a cross mark drawn by Tian Yu, whether it was the depth or the shape of the cross.
The directions are exactly the same!
"What...what is going on? Have we really seen a ghost?!" Tanya exclaimed, staring at the marks in front of her in disbelief.
Ling Fan thought for a while, slammed his head, and shouted: "I think we didn't see a ghost, but we met someone. It must be the black shadow just now, it must be shining on Tian Yu on every tree
They all have the sign of the cross!"
"Damn it, if I had known this was the case, I should have caught it then!" Tian Yu said harshly.
"Boy Ling, what should we do now? Are we really lost?!" Gu Rufeng put on a face that looked better than crying, looked at Ling Fan, and said tremblingly.
Ling Fan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, with a crying look on his face, and said, "What do you think?"
Seeing Ling Fan's appearance, Lao Gu couldn't help but slumped against a nearby tree and sighed: "I, Gu Rufeng, a great Onmyoji master, can actually get lost. If this spreads out, people will definitely laugh to death."
As soon as he heard Onmyoji, a flash of light suddenly appeared in Ling Fan's head. Although he had no interest in this thing, if Lao Gu brought that thing, they would definitely be able to get out of this psychedelic forest. So he looked at Lao Gu,
Urgently asked: "Lao Gu, do you have your equipment with you?!"
Lao Gu frowned and said, "What equipment?"
Ling Fan stretched out his hand to make a circular shape and said anxiously: "Stupid, of course it's a compass. Don't all you Onmyojis have this thing?!"
Lao Gu suddenly woke up and shouted excitedly: "That's right, you, Mr. Ling, are still smart, why didn't I think of that!" After saying that, Gu Rufeng took out his backpack and dug out a bunch of it.
After a mess of things, I finally took out a black circular compass with countless circles printed on it and a floating magnetic needle in the center.
Tanya looked at the round thing in front of her and felt very strange. She asked, "Hey, what is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Gu Rufeng smiled and said: "Police Tanya, don't you know a lot about China? How come you haven't seen this before?!"
Tanya shook her head and said: "No, tell me quickly, what is this and what does it do?"
Gu Rufeng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Officer Tanya, based on your knowledge, it is difficult for me to explain it clearly to you."
"Huh, if you don't tell me, don't tell me. I'll ask Ling Fan." Seeing that Lao Gu didn't tell her, Tanya glared at him fiercely, then turned her eyes to Ling Fan for help and said, "Ling Fan, you know
This thing, please tell me what it is?!"
When Ling Fan saw Lao Gu posing this difficult question to him, he immediately didn't know how to explain it. He touched his head and thought for a long time before saying with great difficulty: "This compass is like this. You should know that we
The compass is one of the four great inventions of ancient China. It was first used for navigation, which is what we now call a compass. Later, due to the advancement of science, its function of indicating direction was
People have forgotten it, but it is applied to Feng Shui, geography, etc. This is the function of those crystal balls of witches and magic sticks in your Western superstitions. Yes, you can just not think of them as Western magic crystal balls, haha." Ling Fan said.
I was finally able to find a reasonable explanation and felt proud.
"So that's it, but what are the circles on top?" Tanya inappropriately showed her good habit of seeking knowledge and asking questions.
This time, Ling Fan was stumped. He had to bump into Lao Gu and said, "Lao Gu, tell me quickly, what do these circles mean?"
Gu Rufeng said seriously: "I can't explain these things to you at the moment. Let's put it this way, we Chinese believe that people have an aura, and a person's aura is controlled by the aura of the universe, so people
If it is consistent with the aura of the universe, then it is auspicious; if the person and the universe are in the opposite direction, it is unlucky."
"Well, then, what does this have to do with these circles?" Ling Fan still didn't understand the meaning of those circles on the compass.
Gu Rufeng pointed at those extremely dense circles, large and small, and said: "Boss Ling, do you know how infinite the wisdom of us Chinese people is? What does it mean to know astronomy from above and geography from below? This is China
With human wisdom, our ancestors placed all levels of information in the vast universe on the compass, such as the stars in the sky, everything on the earth represented by the five elements, the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, etc., and these circles are those universes.
Different auras, do you understand?"
Ling Fantanya and Tian Yu looked at each other, then shook their heads together and said, "I don't understand."
Gu Rufeng waved his hand and said impatiently: "Forget it, there are different positions across the mountains. You people who are blind about Yin and Yang and Feng Shui can't explain it at all. Anyway, as long as we find the direction, we will go out." As he said that, Gu Rufeng began to turn.
Holding the compass.
But then, a strange phenomenon appeared again. No matter how much Lao Gu turned the compass, the magnetic needle in the center never moved.
Ling Fan and others stared at the compass closely for a long time, but the magnetic needle still didn't move. Ling Fan raised his head and looked at Gu Rufeng and said: "Old Gu, isn't your thing broken?!
"
Lao Gu shook his head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "It shouldn't be. I checked it before we set off. It could rotate at that time. Why can't it rotate here?!"
"Magnetic field, this is because there is no magnetic field here!" Tian Yu said suddenly.
"Magnetic field?!" Ling Fan and Lao Gu exclaimed together, "Tianyu, what do you mean?!"
Tian Yu's beautiful face also became solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "The direction indicated by the compass depends on the earth's magnetic field. If it is not broken, then there is only one reason why it cannot indicate the direction, and that is, it has entered an unknown world.
The space of the magnetic field! A space forgotten by the earth!"
"A space that was...forgotten by the bad guys?!" Ling Fan, Gutania, the three of them exclaimed in unison.
