One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 476 It works
When Liu An saw this scene, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that they could actually use this ancient method that seemed to be about to be eliminated to successfully decipher the ancient characters.
The two sides have quietly started a contest. Although Wang Cheng and the others don't know the existence of the Star Observation Bureau, the Star Observation Bureau has been paying attention to the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau for a long time.
As a team leader, how could Liu An allow his team to lose to a "wild man"? Therefore, after seeing that the other party had deciphered one word, he began to urge anxiously: "Hurry up, why haven't you deciphered the second word yet?"
The technician wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the limitations of technology were once again revealed. They could not speed up the process through human efforts, nor could they shorten the time through other means. Strictly speaking, it was the equipment in their hands, not themselves, that deciphered the ancient text.
A few minutes later, the technician's voice finally came: "Team leader, the second word has been deciphered."
But at this time Liu An saw that Wang Cheng had also written the second word on the ground - "door".
From the second word onwards, the "wild" method used by Wang Cheng and others had surpassed the speed of scientific and technological means. The gap between the two sides widened as they deciphered the third and fourth words.
The entire decoding process lasted nearly an hour. When Liu An deciphered the fifth word through scientific means, Wang Cheng announced that the decoding was complete.
At this moment, there were a few words written in front of Wang Cheng: "Closed gate, restricted area, no one allowed to enter. Anyone who sees these words, stay away from it..."
There were sixteen characters in total, but Liu An's progress stalled at the fifth character. Instead, the ancient method used by Wang Cheng and others came out on top and was the first to complete the deciphering of the ancient characters.
At this moment, Du Qiang and Chen Shu couldn't help but come to Wang Cheng and the others, looking at the words written on the ground, their eyes full of surprise. They never thought that these seemingly irregular traces on the ground could actually form words.
"Mr. Wang, how did you do this? How did you make out the words from these traces?" Du Qiang asked curiously.
Wang Cheng waved his hand gently and said, "It's not complicated. As long as you understand the astronomical rules used by the people who carved the traces, you can deduce the remaining characters according to these rules. This ancient writing is relatively remote and is only popular among small tribes in the Kunlun Mountains. It can be seen that the people of Fengmen Village should have migrated from the Kunlun Mountains. But why they came here is a mystery that needs to be solved urgently."
As he said that, Wang Cheng looked back at Liu An, and happened to meet Liu An's somewhat ugly face. It was Liu An who was unwilling to share the clues at first, and now they are also the ones who are lagging behind. In contrast, Wang Cheng had no intention of hiding the clues at all, and the words were clearly written on the ground.
"Let's go, let's go into the village and take a look..." Under the leadership of Wang Cheng, Wang Siqi and Feng Baobao quickly followed.
Chen Shu saw it, quickly came to Du Qiang and whispered a few words, then quickly followed. As for Du Qiang, he stayed behind, after all, he was sent by the provincial department to receive the scientific research team. Although he wanted to go with Wang Cheng and the others, he finally chose to stay.
Looking at the backs of several people, Liu An felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped hard. He never thought that the Star Observation Bureau would be at a disadvantage in the first battle with the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. Moreover, the ancient methods they used were all eliminated and disdained by the Star Observation Bureau. However, the final facts proved that scientific and technological means were nothing but self-deception. Whether in terms of speed or accuracy, they were not as practical as the ancient methods.
The other team members also looked very embarrassed. The technician looked up at Liu An and asked, "Team leader, do you want to continue deciphering?"
Liu An snorted unhappily:
"Others have already deciphered it, so why should we decipher it? Put away these junk quickly and don't embarrass yourself here! This matter is not over yet, we represent the entire Observatory Bureau. Since everyone's goal is to find out the truth about Fengmen Village, then the temporary win or loss doesn't matter. They choose to enter the village, so we will take another route. There must be something wrong with the Fengshui of Fengmen Village. We should first figure out the Fengshui pattern of the surrounding area. This is the right way to get closer to the truth."
"Yes!" The team members responded and quickly put the equipment back into the box.
At this time, Du Qiang just rushed over and did not hear the conversation between Liu An and others. But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the two teams seemed to be competing secretly.
"Team Leader Liu, what should we do next? Should we go into the village?" Du Qiang asked.
Liu An shook his head: "Take us around the village, let's survey the surrounding terrain first..."
Du Qiang listened and looked at the direction where Wang Cheng and others left with some reluctance. He really wanted to go into the village with Wang Cheng and others, but he had a mission to accomplish, so he could only keep this thought in his heart.
As a result, the two teams went their separate ways and chose different directions of investigation. Wang Cheng and others went straight into the village to investigate, while Liu An and others were outside the village, exploring the truth from the perspective of Feng Shui.
Two different roads, but pointing to the same destination. The truth of Fengmen Village, which has been buried for many years, may soon be revealed to the world.
……
In Fengmen Village, it was so quiet that only the footsteps of a few people could be heard. Although it was located in the mountains and forests, there was not even a bird flying in the sky. The depressing atmosphere around made people feel cold.
Chen Shu kept telling Wang Cheng and the others about his experience in Fengmen Village before: "This village is really weird. Captain Du and I discussed this before. When he came during the day, he saw everything in ruins, just like what we see now. But when I came at night, it was brightly lit, and all the buildings were new, without any signs of ruin. What is going on?"
Wang Siqi frowned slightly after hearing this, and then walked alone to the abandoned house with collapsed door. When he entered the house, although the furnishings were simple, it was obvious that this was once a warm family. Now the house was full of dust, and half of the house had collapsed.
Wang Siqi keenly discovered that there seemed to be something hidden under the bed. He walked to the bed in confusion and pulled out the thing under the bed - a mask with a green face and fangs, which looked a little strange.
Wang Cheng and his companions also walked in. Seeing the mask, Wang Cheng frowned immediately: "This looks like a mask used for sacrifice. Could it be that Fengmen Village once had a sacrificial ceremony?"
Wang Siqi pondered, "Logically, the sacrificial objects should be placed in the most conspicuous place in the house, or at least be offered up high. Why are they placed in a box and hidden under the bed? The bottom of the bed is a dark and dirty place. If this village practices sacrificial rituals, it can't be so unrefined."
"Boom!" As soon as Wang Siqi finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the room. The three of them were startled and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Feng Baobao standing there with a cabinet that was split in half in front of her.
Wang Cheng and Wang Siqi immediately understood that Feng Baobao had used her simple and crude way to solve the problem. Fortunately, the village was already dilapidated, so it didn't matter if it caused some damage.
Among the scattered ruins, Wang Cheng found a tablet. He picked it up and looked at it suspiciously. The handwriting on it was a little blurry, but he could vaguely make out the words "the seat of the eldest son".
"It seems that this family had a son, but he died for some reason. So they enshrined a tablet like this at home, but why is it placed in the cabinet?" Wang Cheng said as he looked around, but he didn't see any incense burners or offerings. This made the tablet look lonely and a little strange.
"No way?" Wang Siqi's voice came at this time. He found a photo, which was a little faded, with only a man and a woman in it. But the strange thing was that there were many scratches on the woman's belly made by a knife.
"The photo doesn't show any signs that this family has children. And these scratches are weird. Why are they all on the woman's belly?" Wang Siqi said as he opened the photo frame, but found a talisman paper behind the photo.
He didn't know much about talisman paper, so he handed it to Wang Cheng directly. But Wang Cheng, who was always proficient in talismans, took the talisman paper and looked at it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what the talisman paper was used for.
"Strange, the drawing on this talisman paper is not regular at all, it's not what Taoists use. And have you noticed that all the drawings on it seem to be opposite..." Wang Cheng studied it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
He simply stuffed the talisman paper into his pocket, intending to study it carefully when he came back. When they walked out of the room, they found that it was already dark. As the sky darkened, a gust of cold wind blew in Fengmen Village.
The group continued to walk deeper into the village. After passing through a residential area, they soon saw a magnificent mansion. When Chen Shu saw the mansion, his expression suddenly became nervous. He pointed at the mansion and said to the group:
"It was this house! We found the bodies of two unidentified people inside. The cause of death was very strange. We also encountered a fog here and fell into a coma. In the fog, we could hear the sound of children playing and singing a very strange ballad."
"Ballad? What ballad?" Wang Cheng and Wang Siqi asked in unison. This brought back memories that Chen Shu didn't want to recall...
"The sky is vast, the earth is boundless, and a girl falls from the sky...
The girl is not tainted by the world, she wears shroud clothes to match the groom..."
Chen Shu tried to keep his voice steady, but several people could still hear that his voice was trembling slightly when he sang this nursery rhyme. "I always thought this nursery rhyme was quite strange, especially the line 'wearing shrouds to match the groom', which was particularly contradictory.
After I went back, I also looked up some information about Fengmen Village, but unfortunately it was too old and there was very little information.
But I think this nursery rhyme is not finished yet, and the rest of it may provide us with a lot of clues."
Chen Shu's conjecture was soon endorsed by Wang Cheng and Wang Siqi.
However, at this moment, Feng Baobao rarely showed a serious expression.
"Bao'er, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Cheng quickly noticed Feng Baobao's abnormality and asked with concern.
Feng Baobao slowly extended her finger and pointed at the open house:
"There is a yin energy in here..."
Feng Baobao's words made Wang Cheng and Wang Siqi look at each other in confusion.
Then, Wang Cheng carefully stepped into the house first.
He knew very well that Feng Baobao had a very keen sense of Qi, and Yin Qi was also a type of Qi. Since she said it existed, there must be something wrong.
Wang Siqi and others followed closely behind. Chen Shu obviously had a psychological trauma about this place, so he followed them closely, fearing that he would be left alone and encounter danger.
Several people quickly came into the house, and what caught their eyes was the mirror facing the door.
"It's a big taboo to have a mirror facing the door.
If this village has sacrificial ceremonies, why is it so careless about this aspect? "
As Wang Siqi spoke, he walked to the mirror and looked into it.
However, the next second he frowned, as if he found something wrong.
From the image reflected in the mirror, Wang Siqi and his companions were in a clean, bright, spacious and luxurious room.
But the surroundings were clearly in a dilapidated state, with spider webs and corpses of various insects hanging in the corners, but the mirror did not reflect this at all.
This immediately reminded Chen Shu of something. He pointed at the mirror and said to the others:
“When I looked at this mirror at night, the scene in the mirror was what it looked like when I came to this room at night.
But what I saw in the mirror was a dilapidated room, just like it is now."
"Hmm? So everything is the opposite..."
After Wang Siqi pondered for a moment, he slowly walked to the mirror:
“Mirrors are extremely yin objects, so they cannot be placed facing the door or in the bedroom.
Mirrors can easily harbor negative energy and can hide unclean things.
Moreover, mirrors are yin and yang and fragile things. You never know what the person in the mirror is doing when you can’t see him or her.”
After hearing this, Chen Shu felt a chill on his back, because he realized that there was a mirror in his bedroom.
A picture suddenly emerged in his mind: he was sleeping soundly in bed, and there was another self in the mirror, watching him quietly.
Or, when you lower your head, the self in the mirror does not lower his head with you, but instead looks straight at you with a sinister smile.
The thought made Chen Shu shu shudder.
He immediately decided that he must move the mirror in the bedroom when he returned, otherwise it would probably leave him with a lifelong psychological trauma.
When Chen Shu came to his senses, he discovered that Wang Siqi had found two candles from somewhere and placed them neatly in front of the mirror.
"Hey guys, what are you doing?"
No one answered Chen Shu's question. Wang Siqi was busy preparing, while Wang Cheng stared at the mirror with a serious face, wondering what he was thinking.
“Crack…Crack…”
Then, Wang Siqi took out a lighter and lit two candles.
Then, as if he was waiting for something, he kept staring at the flickering flame in the mirror.
"call……"
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew from nowhere, causing the flame on the candle to shake violently, as if it might go out at any time.
Before Chen Shu could react, something happened that made his back feel cold.
He clearly saw in the mirror that the flames of the two candles had gone out.
At this time, the flames of the two candles in front of the mirror were still flickering.
"what!"
Chen Shu was startled, stepped back, pointed at the mirror, and was so excited that he couldn't speak. (End of this chapter)
