Modern Onmyoji

Chapter 120
The situation deteriorated beyond everyone's expectations. In one night, the entire team became in a dilemma.Like a bird that has lost its wings, it can only stay in place, waiting for death to come.There are not many people in the team who can move around, and Anya is still one of them.But she didn't look very good either, maybe because of her depression, her face was a little abnormally red.Breathing is also much heavier.

"Brother Zhao, what's going on? We can't wait like this any longer. If this continues, everyone will be doomed. You are familiar with the environment here, has this happened before?" Anya asked anxiously.

"I've never encountered such a situation." I would be lying if I said I was not in a hurry, let alone that they still owe me wages, I can't just ignore so many lives.But this situation is beyond my ability.

"The current situation is that we are in an extremely hypoxic environment." Anya seemed to be talking to herself, and she seemed to be analyzing it for me, "Because of the results of the air pressure test, we are indeed in this environment. It will not be a symptom of poisoning. Then I want to know if there is any weird place around here, such as ghosts or something. Could it be that we have encountered monsters. "

I find it strange that Anya can say such a thing, because she gives me the impression of a pure foreigner.This kind of ghost theory in China should be regarded as a secret letter and scoffed at.But her thoughts reminded me.After a little recollection, I did take them the safe route.There are several dangerous and fierce places along the way, and I have bypassed them.If I have to say - wait!I suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Is someone in your team hunting birds on the road!"

Anya was a little strange when I asked her, but she turned around and yelled a few words in English to the people in the camp. After a while, someone inside answered some words, and seeing Anya's complexion was not very good-looking, she said to me, "Well, there was The team members found two big crow-like birds on the road we passed, and they thought it was unlucky, so they beat them with stones. What's wrong? Does this have anything to do with the current situation?"

"You have beaten the tomb guard beast." I said a little angrily, just before we passed a place, I bypassed a strange ancient tomb.I can say it's weird, and that's pretty weird.I only went there once with Master, and at that time we just entered the tomb passage of the tomb.It is full of mural sculptures of birds and animals.After a few glances, Master took me away in a hurry.Master said that it was not a human tomb, but a beast king.At that time, Master's expression was extremely tense, as if he had touched some terrible mechanism.I didn't think so at first, but when I raised my head, I realized that the surrounding branches were densely surrounded by black crows.Master pointed out to me the birds on the nearby trees. Among the many black crows, there was a pure white strange bird that was very eye-catching.Master cut through the line of defense facing the strange white bird with his palm, and spilled three handfuls of blood on the ground.Then I bowed three times in turn, chanting words in my mouth.

Then the crows gradually dispersed.At that time, I was terrified, but also thought it was funny. According to Master, it was a tomb completely built by wild animals.Buried inside is an ancient beast king.It is really hard for me to imagine that the exquisite carvings and murals inside are from the hands of beasts.However, the scene of the blackness and the crows covering the sky is still fresh in my memory.

The master said that it was the tomb-guarding beast, and it was lucky that the crow appeared this time.All you need is a blood sacrifice. In case you encounter those ferocious human bears, lynxes and beasts guarding the tomb, let's leave an arm and a leg at least.Afterwards, according to what Master said, I walked around there every time I entered the mountain.There was no more danger, but now that they have alarmed those strange birds, I am afraid that something really came to retaliate.

I simply told Anya what I knew, and saw her beautiful eyebrows twitched into a ball.Finally, he sighed and said, "I don't understand these things, you should be an expert in this area. Is there any way to solve the situation in front of you?"

"To be honest, I have never encountered such a thing." I said bluntly, "Although you are shooting birds, this kind of revenge is not like crows. The current situation is hypoxia, which can change the environment on a large scale. The method should be Qimen Dunjia. I have an assumption that since it is hypoxia, then we should be Qian Gua. I need to determine the overall pattern of Qimen Dunjia before I can find a way to solve it. Now I only know one of us. Qian Gua point, I need at least one more point to guess the overall pattern."

"I don't understand what you're talking about. Anyway, just say what we need to do." Anya asked.

"To be honest, this is not a situation I can handle. I think the best way is for you to wait here and I will go back to my master." I said, Anya's face immediately changed, "No, what if you If we don’t come back, we’re doomed!”

"I also know that you won't agree," I shrugged and said, "The other way is a bit hard to explain. Let me tell you this, Qimen Dunjia has eight hanging images. Every hexagram that strays into it will be different. The reaction of Qian Gua is hypoxia, and it may be like a fire after entering Li Gua. I need someone to go to another place, and I judge the hexagram image there by the different reactions of that person in different positions. That is to say, I need to have Come to Lei personally."

"We don't have much mobility now. Can't you go by yourself?" Anya said in a bit of embarrassment.

"No way, you can see it too. The environment here doesn't seem to be useful to me. Apart from the haze above my head, I don't feel anything else. Even if I go to other places, I won't be recruited at all." I said Said, "What to do is up to you. I don't mean to harm you. If I really want to harm you, I just need to spend two more days here with you, and you will all be finished."

Anya also seemed to think that what I said made sense, so she went back and started discussing with those foreigners.It can be seen that it is quite difficult for her to convey my meaning to those people clearly in English.They chatted for more than two hours, during which there was a very intense dispute.But in the end it seems to be a consensus.

Anya came over to me and said, "We decided to give it a try, but we really don't have many people who can act. Just me, Slater and Claude will go and see with you." Then, The guy named Slater came over.Even among these foreigners, Slater's tall man of more than two meters is conspicuous, and he is as strong as a bull.It can be seen that his altitude sickness is also very serious, but it is still within the range that can be persisted.On the contrary, Claude looked thinner, but he felt quite short and dainty.Especially his pair of eyes are very sharp, although he is still out of breath, but the condition is actually the best one.

The four of us simply took some things and started walking towards the distance.They were worried about getting lost at first, and they left many marks on the road.In fact, I didn't lose my way at all, but when I thought of leaving some marks for Master, I didn't stop it either.In this way, we walked northwest for more than 20 miles, and Slater stopped us.

"There seems to be a problem. Slater said that his whole body has become extremely heavy." Anya translated to me.I realized something at once, and hurriedly let everyone walk around here.Sure enough, after a while everyone said that it felt as if there was something heavy on their bodies.This also confirmed my conjecture, here is the Qimen Dunjia arranged according to the gossip.This should be Gen hexagram.Two points and one line, after confirming the positions of the two points, I immediately began to deduce the structure of the entire Qimen Dunjia.Because I have already found the way, I am not in a hurry.It took more than two hours of deduction to figure out the general structure.

Knowing the overall mechanism, I can lead everyone to the gate of life.However, when we returned to the camp, we were shocked by the sight in front of us.The entire camp was empty, all the equipment was still there, but there was no one - it was as if everyone had evaporated.
