Chapter 307 Ghost's Tip

Seeing the weird movements of the three children's ghosts, and looking at the earthen wall at the end of the alley where he slept not far away, Chen Ziyang suddenly thought of how those traces on the wall came from.

The ghosts of these three children have been throwing at the earthen wall at the end of the alley. Although Chen Ziyang didn't know what they were throwing, it could be seen from the movements of the ghosts that the three The ghost of a little kid looks like he's throwing a javelin or something.

It is very likely that the things thrown by the ghosts of these three children caused many traces similar to water droplets on the dirt wall.Through the actions of these three ghosts, Chen Ziyang found that they seemed to be playing a game of competition. When the javelin was thrown more accurately, the other two ghosts would applaud there. , the other two ghosts will laugh at the javelin thrower.

Staring at the drop-shaped marks on the earthen wall, recalling the various movements of the ghosts he had seen before, Chen Ziyang's breathing became rapid.

These ghosts seem to be repeating the things they liked to do most during their lifetime, or repeating the things they did the most during their lifetime.The chef who was cooking porridge, the three children in front of him, and the small merchant selling things on the road, these ghosts were all repeating the same thing without exception.

Thinking of this, he came up with a bold idea. If these marks on the earthen wall were really made by the three children when they were alive, is it possible that they are in the ruins of this ancient country? , there will be some other imprints left behind.

Even if these imprints have disappeared over time, I can judge what was in this ancient city before based on the actions of these ghosts. For example, the chef who is cooking porridge should have something in his hand. A porridge spoon, and there should be a pot of porridge in front of it.

If this is the case, then I can use the actions of these ghosts to find the treasure of the ancient country of Mi Mi that I want to find, or the secret room where the treasure is located.

Thinking of this, the exhausted Chen Ziyang lost all sleepiness.After tidying up the things in his backpack, he turned his head and walked towards the ruins of the palace.It's just that this time, Chen Ziyang didn't leave in a hurry, but strolled through this ancient sand sea city like a leisurely stroll, carefully looking around while walking.

Under a broken wall by the roadside, a ghost was lying on the ground, and behind it were two female ghosts shaking their hands left and right.Through the remaining broken wall, Chen Ziyang judged that the place where the ghost was lying should have been a relatively spacious room, and the two female ghosts seemed to be maids, fanning their masters.

Not far from the other side, there is a ghost walking slowly in a small area in an open space. Although there is nothing around this ghost, it is just a piece of sand, but Chen Ziyang uses the ghost's movements and The scope of its actions speculates that there should have been a house or a yard here before.

After guessing this point, Chen Ziyang smiled. His own deduction just now proved that his idea was correct. It is very likely that it is feasible to speculate on the original appearance of this ancient country through the actions of these ghosts.

Although the entire ancient city was completely deserted, leaving only ruins, the accidental appearance of these ghosts changed the fact that there were no clues to follow. Compared with blind digging, this method should be more efficient and possible. It will be more accurate to guess the location of the ancient treasure.

In this way, while walking, Chen Ziyang carefully observed the movements of the surrounding ghosts, so as to judge what these ghosts were holding in their hands before they were alive, or what the place where the ghosts were was like before.While watching, thinking, and walking, he came to the small square in front of the palace again.

The diamond was still shining black light above the altar, because the diamond was the root of all this, so Chen Ziyang stood there from a distance and looked around the altar, trying to find a clue, after all, at that time In other words, this diamond is likely to be the treasure of this ancient country, and the treasure is also closely related to this diamond, so it is definitely beneficial to look here for a while.

Staring at the center of the square for a long time, Chen Ziyang did not find any useful clues, then he raised his head and sighed.Staring at the stars all over the sky, Chen Ziyang thought that the reason why the diamond released these ghosts now might be related to these stars.

After all, among the few verses about the treasures of the ancient country, there are two verses related to the stars, and it was also at night that I activated the diamond to release a large amount of water from the diamond. The remaining twenty or so people were rescued, and clues to the ruins of the ancient country were also found.

The diamond was placed on the altar twice before. The first time the diamond brought the ruins of the entire ancient country to light, but the second time there was no response. It is very likely that the diamond was placed on the altar for the second time and did not respond. The reason is that the timing is wrong. Only when the diamond, the altar and the starry sky are combined can the next reaction of the diamond be stimulated.

The current Chen Ziyang is very thankful that he left the diamond on the altar before, if not for that, he would not be able to see these ghosts.Moreover, he thinks that Instructor Liu, Yang Lei, and himself have misunderstood the words "Bing Xing Xianxian". It is very likely that this sentence does not refer to any orientation or the Orion constellation, but refers to The timing of the placement of the diamond on the altar.

But no matter what, under the circumstances, I have found the clue to the next step.That being the case, I must not waste this opportunity. If the sky is bright after a few hours, it is very likely that these ghosts will disappear. If I have not found any clues by then, I may have to wait another day. up.

So Chen Ziyang stared at the area of ​​the square more carefully, constantly observing the actions of every ghost in the square, hoping to find useful clues for him.

After looking carefully for a while, he found a very strange place.The area of ​​this square is not too big, but whether it is chasing and frolicking children in the square, or ghosts passing by, all these ghosts have not entered the circular area with a diameter of several meters centered on the diamond.

The range of a few meters around the entire altar is blank, and there is no ghost here at all.It is understandable if this altar is a sacred object of the ancient country of Yumi, and the people who live here dare not desecrate it.But these ghosts, or people who lived here before, shouldn't have controlled the boundaries so accurately.

Chen Ziyang saw with his own eyes those children chasing and playing around the altar, a child's ghost was about to enter the blank area, but the child's ghost suddenly turned in a different direction, It is natural to avoid the blank area around the altar.What is the actual cause?

It is understandable if adults dare not approach the altar because they are in awe of the diamonds on the altar. Approach to this place is allowed, but children don't care so much when they are playing.

At this moment, Chen Ziyang saw a female ghost slowly walking towards the border of the blank area, then the ghost bent down, made a movement similar to digging with both hands, and then turned and left .When the female ghost left, he found that the walking posture of the ghost changed obviously.

The walking posture of the female ghost was very natural before, but now looking at the back of the ghost, Chen Ziyang noticed that one shoulder of the ghost was higher than the other, and the ghost's right hand was separated from his body at an awkward angle. Hanging there motionless.

After staring at the ghost's back for a while, Chen Ziyang suddenly realized that this woman was fetching water!In other words, it was not that these people deliberately avoided the range of the altar, but that it should have been a reservoir before.It's just that because of the age, this reservoir has disappeared.

Chen Ziyang, who thought he had found an important clue, couldn't help but smile bitterly after thinking about it. Thinking about it, the reason why this ancient city became an ancient oasis country is because there is no shortage of water.And the water flows out of the diamond, so the water cannot flow into the yellow sand all the time, so it is reasonable to have a reservoir here.

Seeing that there was no way to get any useful clues here in the square, Chen Ziyang walked towards the ruins of the palace behind the diamond.After passing by a few ghosts guarding the gate of the palace, he came to the largest area of ​​the palace.

It may be because it takes a certain amount of time for the diamond to release these ghosts. This time, when Chen Ziyang entered the palace again, he found that there were many more ghosts in the palace than when he came out just now.

Dozens of ghosts appeared in this place similar to the hall of a palace. In addition to the guards standing guard around the hall, there were more than a dozen female ghosts dancing in the center of the hall.

Although the dancers danced beautifully, Chen Ziyang was not in the mood to appreciate it. He kept walking through the rooms of the palace, and deduced where the palace was before from the ghosts that appeared in the palace one by one. Find clues to ancient treasures.

Although the area of ​​the ruins of this palace is much smaller than that of the later imperial palace, there are also many rooms here, and it takes a lot of time to look at each room.What's more, Chen Ziyang had to stay near each ghost for a period of time, making judgments based on the ghost's movements, so before he knew it, a few hours passed like this, and it was almost dawn.

It was darkest before dawn. It was not easy to see the movements of these ghosts clearly in the dark, and it took a lot of time. Now that the light is even worse, Chen Ziyang has not found any clues yet, and he is starting to worry.

Chen Ziyang was able to see ghosts far away with the help of starlight and moonlight before, but now he can't even see ghosts that are only a few meters away from him.Although Chen Ziyang felt that there was a great possibility that the diamond would still release these ghosts tomorrow night, he didn't dare to bet, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity in front of him.

After judging that the ghost in front of him was a washerwoman, Chen Ziyang decided not to look at it one by one. Time was not allowed, so he walked quickly to the side with various patterns engraved on it. At the broken wall, I want to see what happened here before.

The chef ghost was still stirring the non-existent porridge pot in front of him, and not far in front of the chef ghost, under the wall carved with patterns, there was a smaller ghost .

When he came near the ghost, Chen Ziyang knelt down to watch carefully.As he guessed before, this ghost looks like a little girl who is only seven or eight years old, and the ghost of this little girl is standing there and pointing her fingers in one direction.After clicking for a while, the little girl would turn her head, squat down, and draw something on the surface of the broken wall with something that didn't exist in her hand.

Chen Ziyang carefully watched the trajectory of the little girl's ghost's fingers, and he found that what the girl's ghost drew on the wall should be the pattern of more than 100 little people lying on the horizontal line that he had seen before.

After drawing a villain pattern, the little girl drew a few more strokes on the side of the pattern.Then it stood up again, turned its head, pointed its fingers in the previous direction, turned back again, and drew patterns on the wall.

After looking at it for a while, Chen Ziyang got a rough idea.The symbols next to the little people lying on the horizontal line should be numbers or something, because judging from the action of the little girl's finger pointing, it seems to be counting something, every time it finishes betting After that, such a villain pattern will be drawn, and the numbers will be recorded next to it.

Because time was short, Chen Ziyang didn't bother to take a closer look. He hurriedly looked in the direction where the little girl was counting, but it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything in the distance at all.

The impatient Chen Ziyang hurriedly walked towards this direction, and kept looking around, hoping to find what the little girl counted.Although this clue may not be useful, after all, I have no better way.

After running for tens of meters, Chen Ziyang became even more anxious.Within the range of tens of meters, except for a few sporadic ghosts, there were no things or ghosts worthy of his attention.

"Am I thinking wrong? Or have I missed it?" Just when Chen Ziyang doubted whether he had gone in the wrong direction, what suddenly appeared in front of him surprised Chen Ziyang.
