"Sure enough, it's not normal …"
After returning to the villa's underground warehouse where the antiques were hidden, Xu Shenxing carefully looked at the layout inside and muttered softly.
This time, the phenomenon of dragging people into a different space was not activated. He didn't know if that thing only worked on one person once, or if it was because the black screen knew that this thing was useless to Xu Shenxing, so it didn't activate.
In short, after carefully observing the layout of the warehouse, Xu Shenxing didn't find any traces of magic or formation complex enough to be activated in special circumstances.
However, the "abnormality" of the warehouse itself was also exposed under Xu Shenxing's careful observation.
First of all, there was a logical abnormality. There were a lot of antiques in this warehouse. Even Xu Shenxing, who didn't know much about antiques, could roughly tell that many of the things in there were expensive. At least, he probably couldn't afford to buy them in his lifetime if he only worked as a snack vendor.
But if there were only these things, there were a lot of strange things in some of the antiques in the underground warehouse. For example, there was a bunch of green foxtail in an antique flower screen, three steamed buns in a blue and white porcelain plate, and plain water in a green jade wine bottle …
In addition, because of the magic power sealed in his body that was enough to pinch the earth like a ball of mud, Xu Shenxing was very slow to sense ordinary energy. It wasn't that he couldn't sense ordinary energy, but that for him, the amount of electricity in a battery and the amount of energy produced by a nuclear bomb explosion were almost the same level. If he didn't carefully feel it, there was no way to distinguish between the two.
Only after careful observation and perception could he determine the amount of a certain energy through some of the surrounding reference objects.
In the underground warehouse, in addition to the electric power carried by the wires buried in the wall, there was another kind of special energy flowing.
Xu Shenxing had never seen this kind of energy on Earth. It was neither the Zhenqi in Qin Xingyan's body, nor the demon power carried by monsters, nor the divine power of gods.
If he had to describe it, it was somewhat similar to the curse power or spiritual power used by the Yin-Yang Master Hanakayuan Youyuan in Japan.
However, compared to Hanakayuan Youyuan's curse power, this kind of power flowing in the air of the warehouse was thicker and colder, and also a little strange. After carefully experiencing it, Xu Shenxing even had the illusion that he smelled blood.
This strange power weaved a big net, connecting most of the antiques in the underground warehouse, including the conspicuous Tomb of the Three Kings.
Xu Shenxing felt that if the black screen was willing, any antique connected with this kind of power could produce an illusion similar to the Tomb of the Three Kings in a different space.
— In fact, it was true. What Xu Shenxing didn't know was that if it wasn't him but an ordinary person, even if they could escape the pursuit of the Sheep-head Monster statue, in the illusion of the Tomb of the Three Kings, they would have been eroded by the thousand-year-old resentment. If it was light, they would have gone crazy, and if it was serious, their brain would have died.
Xu Shenxing was immune to all kinds of illusions, and his spiritual power was even more powerful. Even if he didn't wave his hand to shatter the space in the illusion at that time, in the end, the illusion would have collapsed due to the difference in spiritual power between them, revealing the original appearance of the underground warehouse.
After strolling around the underground warehouse for a while, Xu Shenxing took out his phone and found that there was actually a signal here, so he called Qin Xingyan and described what he saw to the girl, trying to see if he could get some information from her.
Originally, he didn't have much hope. After all, the energy flowing in this space was too strange, and it didn't seem like the power system of cultivators. Although Xingyan A Dream knew a lot about cultivation, her knowledge of other supernatural aspects couldn't even compare to Chihaya Fukayama, who was just an ordinary person a month ago (in fact, a Man God now).
In the end, he didn't expect that Qin Xingyan really did know some of these things.
"The green foxtail is probably a symbol of the Taoist cloud. The cloud was originally used to drive away mosquitoes and the like, but now it can be extended to drive away all kinds of unnecessary things. If I'm not wrong, the three steamed buns should be filled with pork, beef, and mutton. These three are the so-called 'three animals' in the past, and the steamed buns themselves also have an allusion …"
"Is it the one about Zhuge Liang?"
Xu Shenxing had also heard of this rumor, so he asked casually.
Although some places now referred to steamed buns without fillings, dating back to an even older era, steamed buns were actually filled with fillings.
According to legend, when Zhuge Liang pacified the southern barbarians, he had to cross a big river, but the river was extremely turbulent, and there was no way to build a bridge and ferry boats. The locals said that only by sacrificing human heads to the river god, the river would calm down.
Zhuge Liang couldn't bear to kill civilians in order to cross the river, so he took their heads to sacrifice to the river god. Therefore, he killed sheep and pigs, wrapped the meat in dough, called them 'steamed buns', and threw them into the river to replace the human heads. As a result, the river calmed down, and the steamed buns became a popular Chinese snack that had been passed down until now.
"That's right, the steamed buns themselves originated from rituals used for sacrifice, so they can be used as a tribute. When the meat contained in the steamed buns are pigs, cows, and sheep, the effect of the sacrifice will be several times better, and many rituals can be used. It's the cheapest and most useful ritual and formation core of this era, without exception. "
"…"
How should he put it, the ritual items of this era were unexpectedly popularized.
"I'm not too sure about the last green jade wine bottle, but if I'm not wrong, the water in it is probably not plain water, but rainwater. This kind of water was also mentioned in 'Journey to the West'. It belongs to the category of rootless water, and in the ancient times of the Celestial Empire, it was considered the cleanest water … Although modern technology has broken this saying, in many cases, the main thing that constitutes a ritual or formation is not the effect of the object itself, but the meaning it contains. "
"The green foxtail grass dispels interference, the three animals steamed buns as the core, and the rootless water drives spiritual energy. As long as they are placed properly, these three can form a very common formation." "
With that, Qin Xingyan explained the relevant situation of the formation to Xu Shenxing in detail.
After she finished speaking, the expression on Xu Shenxing's face changed into a look of understanding.
"Thanks, if everything goes well, maybe after this matter is solved, I can still make it home in time for dinner."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shenxing left the warehouse and walked slowly toward the villa's hall.
