Chapter 98: What is Ke Zhou asking for? (Thanks to book friend Kui Mandrill and the leader for the reward)
Originally, Lan Ting used to meditate instead of sleeping at night. Since joining the barbecue restaurant, she has developed a good habit of sleeping at night.
When the four of them woke up, they felt comfortable and energetic. This was due to Lanting's arrangement of the formation.
"Let's go, go out and play, I haven't had enough!" Meng Jingzhou was the most energetic, calling Lu Yang up from the bed like a pig.
Lu Yang kicked Meng Jingzhou before reluctantly getting up.
Man Gu went to the vegetable market early to buy goods. He got up the earliest.
Man Gu made a pot of pimple soup, beat four eggs, and added a few drops of sesame oil. The fragrance filled the entire lobby.
Lu Yang liked to be jealous, so he put a small spoonful of vinegar in his bowl of pimple soup, and the four of them ate it up and went out to play feeling refreshed.
It was still early for the four of them to go out, but there were already a large number of tourists out for fun on the street. Lu Yang heard that the hostel had long been fully rented, and many people chose to stay in bed and breakfasts.
People's faces were filled with joyful smiles. Children wore the same tofu masks as Lu Yang's and were jumping up and down with big windmills in their hands. Parents held their children's hands for fear that they would get lost.
“It’s as lively as a temple fair here.”
"Have you heard? Someone brought a huge beast from the southern part of the mainland. It's right by the river. Go and have a look!" Someone said excitedly to his companions.
After Meng Jingzhou heard this, he couldn't restrain his curiosity and took the three of them to the river to see the giant creature.
The four of them came to the familiar big stone bridge, but this time they stood on it. Both sides of the big stone bridge were filled with small flags.
Seeing the huge thing, Meng Jingzhou was a little disappointed: "I thought it was something, but it turned out to be an elephant."
Along the Yinlong River, this place was originally a place where tourists gathered every year. Now, in order to show off, some people have brought elephants from the south of the mainland, and there are even more curious tourists.
Needless to say, Lu Yang must have seen elephants. Meng Jingzhou and Lan Ting came from aristocratic families. They had seen more strange and weird objects since childhood than Lu Yang had ever heard of. Barbarian bones lived in the wilderness and even hunted elephants.
Most people don't have the experience of Lu Yang and the other four, and are very interested in huge animals like elephants.
Tourists exclaimed: "Is this a monster? It's so big, with such a long nose and teeth?"
The owner of the elephant is a foundation-building monk. He explained: "It is indeed a monster. The realm of a monster is difficult to evaluate. It is probably at the sixth level of Qi training. However, its size has nothing to do with the monster. This kind of
The creature is called an elephant, and it grows to this size when it reaches adulthood."
The tourist continued to ask: "How much does such a big creature weigh?"
The owner of the elephant laughed dumbly. Who knew that there was no such big scale that could weigh the elephant.
Another tourist came up with an idea: "This is right next to the river. You can put the elephant on the big boat, mark the place where it touches the water, and then let the boat load stones and other things, and wait until the marked place touches the water again.
,Weigh the big stone and you will know how heavy the elephant is."
The elephant's owner also wanted to know how much his spiritual pet weighed, and he happily agreed.
At the owner's order, the elephant was rushed to the boat. The elephant was too heavy and the boat in the shallow water could not carry the elephant, so the owner rowed to the middle of the river. The owner took out a knife and made a cut on the place where it touched the water.
Just as the owner was about to swim back, the elephant accidentally raised his eyes and saw Mangu, and was immediately frightened.
Monsters are the most sensitive to breath. Ancient barbarians often hunted elephants in the wilderness. This fierce murderous aura flows in their blood. Although the elephant does not understand its meaning, it feels cold in its heart when it sees the barbarian bones. This is due to
The suppression of blood.
The elephant panicked, fell into the water with a splash, and sank directly to the bottom.
The people on the shore exclaimed and asked the elephant owner to rush to save the elephant. Unexpectedly, the elephant owner calmly carved a mark on the place where the elephant fell into the water and said: "This is the place where the elephant fell into the water."
The people on the shore were puzzled, and the elephant owner did not explain. When they were almost at the shore, the elephant owner pointed to the mark and explained: "My elephant fell here, and it is still here!"
Everyone laughed, thinking he was joking. Unexpectedly, the river rolled, a whirlpool appeared, and the elephant actually flew out from under the mark with its two big ears flailing.
A specialty of southern China, the giant flying elephant.
Mangu frowned when he witnessed this scene, then suddenly realized, he hammered his palm and said: "I remembered, I learned this idiom in class, this is called carving a boat to ask for an image!"
He now has a deep understanding of this idiom.
Lu Yang: "..."
What did you learn in class?
Meng Jingzhou smiled and said: "I still remember that we found the first longevity talisman under the bridge. I was really shocked when I learned that there was such a thing as the longevity talisman. Fortunately, we have reported him.
.”
Lu Yang was just about to make a joke along with Meng Jingzhou's words, when he suddenly saw the small flag in front of him, his smile faded, as if he remembered something, he pulled the flag off, frowned, and looked at the sun to study it carefully.
When Lu Yang saw the little flag's appearance in the sunshine, he felt chilled in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Meng Jingzhou noticed Lu Yang's expression. He didn't wait until Lu Yang made a joke before he noticed Lu Yang's abnormality.
Lu Yang looked solemn, pointing to the faint pattern on the flag and said, "When you look at the pattern, what does it look like?"
"Anti-Shou Yuan Talisman?!" Lan Ting was the first to react. She was the most familiar with this pattern.
Meng Jingzhou's eyes widened. The pattern on the flag was very shallow and could not be seen without facing the sun. Even if it could be seen, tourists would just think it was a special feature of the Spring Festival. How many people knew the pattern of the longevity talisman?
"Don't mess around, maybe the longevity-reverse formation hasn't been formed yet!" Meng Jingzhou persuaded himself not to panic.
Lu Yang analyzed calmly: "It's impossible. Don't forget, this little flag doesn't have two sides. The entire Yanjiang County has this kind of flag!"
The small flag with the reverse longevity symbol pattern is hidden in the ordinary small flag. Who would have thought?!
Lu Yang continued: "In other words, the Reverse Shou Yuan Formation has been completed and is clearly displayed in front of everyone, but no one has noticed it!"
"Then why didn't the Anti-Shou Yuan Formation activate?" Meng Jingzhou remembered the conditions for activating the Anti-Shou Yuan Formation. In addition to using the Anti-Shou Yuan Talisman to form the Anti-Shou Yuan Formation, he also had to use blood as a sacrifice.
A person who dares to set up the longevity-reverse formation can easily kill several people. What is he waiting for?
Lu Yang said coldly: "He is waiting for someone. There are not enough people picking the Spring Festival food now, and there are still a steady stream of people rushing to Yanjiang County!"
The longevity essence array robs mortals of life essence and transforms it into the cultivation level of the people who set up the formation. The more mortals robbed, the greater the improvement in cultivation level!
Meng Jingzhou also remembered: "According to custom, on the second night of the Spring Festival, people will gather in the streets to sing, gather at the riverside to have banquets, and hold singing parties!"
