Chapter 900: The Tenth Demon Cultivator
cpa300_4(); Although I always felt that something was wrong in my heart, after I felt it carefully, the feeling of error disappeared, as if I had an illusion just now. see
My instincts have always been accurate, and there are very few cases of delusions, so I still vaguely wrote down the weirdness just now.
Furthermore, I have to take this case, not because I want to be a savior, but because I don't want my Southwest Ancestor to be discredited, and I don't want any supernatural person to raise me in captivity to create a Chaos Fire Beast.
Then I asked Autumn how to find the "Immortal Mist, Immortal Village".
Autumn shook her head and said, "I really can't help you with this." You can only go to the Qinling Mountains to find it slowly, if you are lucky, you may find it there, and if you are unlucky, you may not find it in your life. ”
"As for the situation inside, my father may die inside, Xiao Zheng may also die inside, maybe what we are worried about will not happen at all, and the Chaos Fire Beast will also disperse inside."
I asked Autumn, "It's your father who went in, aren't you worried at all?" Don't you feel sad if something happens to him? ”
Autumn shook her head and said, "I won't be sad, I...; …; ”
Speaking of this, Autumn suddenly stopped, and then suddenly stood up and stretched, her posture seemed a little lazy, but I could see that she was using this lazy energy to hide her innermost emotions.
There was a lot of surprise in this kind of autumn compared to what I had seen before.
After stretching a lazy waist, Qiu said: "Okay, everything is explained clearly, you have agreed to the case, my task is completed, so I won't stay longer, after I go back, we will send our candidates to Xichuan to find you in two days, and then you will set off directly from here to Qinling." ”
Autumn was leaving, I symbolically politely said a few words, left her for a while, and she naturally made an official tone with me and left.
We also saw each other off briefly, and when we got back to the hall we began to talk about it again.
Obviously, I still have two days to prepare before I leave for Qinling.
After Autumn left, I asked Penglai Ancestor what kind of legend he had heard about "Immortal Mist, Immortal Village" before, and it was the same as what Autumn said.
Penglai Ancestor said: "Naturally, it is different, I heard that version belongs to the better, do you want to listen, I can tell you about it." ”
I nodded, and Penglai Ancestor simply told such a short story.
It is said that in the mountains around the Qinling Mountains, there is such a village, it is in a valley, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the people are outstanding, and then the four villagers in this village have cultivated into immortals, and then they pass on the Dharma to the villagers in the village, so that everyone has an immortal body.
Later, more and more people knew about this matter, and many people also wanted to come here to be blessed by the gods, but many outsiders were not right, and the atmosphere of the people in the village became worse and worse, and then the four immortals expelled the outsiders and used their magical powers to create a fog, and then the village disappeared in the fog
It is said that the mist floated around in the Qinling Mountains, and sometimes a village would appear in the mist, and that village was the village of immortals.
That fog is called the Immortal Mist.
Listening to this version of Penglai Ancestor, I smiled and said: "Your version is obviously better, but the authenticity is lower than the official version in the autumn." ”
Penglai Ancestor also said with a smile: "What the Holy Monarch said is that this is all hearsay, and there is no basis, so naturally it cannot be used as a reference." ”
I shook my head and said, "Not really, the reason why the legend has been passed down is always its true side, and I always feel that something is wrong with the story told me in the autumn." ”
At this time, Xu Ruohui suddenly asked me: "The first year of junior high school." Did you just realize that Autumn made a small mistake when telling the story? ”
I hesitated for a moment and said, "I didn't pay attention, which mistake was it?" ”
Xu Ruohui asked me: "On the first day of junior high school, what is the value of thirty-five minus twenty-six?" ”
I said, "Nine! ”
Xu Ruohui said: "But when I was telling the story in the autumn, it was said that twenty-six of the thirty-five demon cultivators died, and only a few survived. The first time she said it, she didn't say how many demon cultivators she would survive, right? ”
I said, yes!
Xu Ruohui continued: "But in the next sentence, when she was cultivating the four immortals and transforming the immortal mist enchantment, she said it clearly. There are ten demon cultivators who have been sealed inside, if it wasn't for the fact that Autumn said it wrong, where did the extra demon cultivator come from? ”
"But if autumn is good, I think it's impossible, this is told to us as information, she is the eldest lady of the Qiu family, and as an heir, she has excellent qualifications, at least she will not make mistakes when passing on the information."
Xu Ruohui always finds the smallest details in a case, and if she doesn't say it, I really didn't realize this simple little mathematical error.
This is also because Autumn has a high level of storytelling skills, and she uses the word "several" in front of her. It was subconsciously telling us that the detailed numbers were not important, and I automatically ignored the calculations.
In the next sentence, she changed the topic and brought the problem back to numbers, and we subconsciously ignored the relationship between the two and forgot about the calculations.
But why is autumn playing this scheming?
What's the point?
Thinking of this, I called Autumn, and she answered the phone and asked me what was wrong, and I told her what I had discovered.
Autumn smiled and said: "First year of junior high school, whether you believe it or not, this is what is described in the information of our Qiu family, we regard this as a mathematical problem and want to correct it, but unfortunately the founding ancestor of our family has an order first, and when this information is transmitted, no data can be changed." ”
"This is the information of our Qiu family, and we have no way of understanding the deep meaning!"
Profound!?
Did the founding ancestor of the Qiu family miscalculate?
No, since this thing has been passed down as information, it must have been carefully modified, and it is impossible to make such a low-level mistake, so I am sure that a total of thirty demons in it are right, twenty-six dead are also right, and the remaining ten are also right, but where did the tenth demon come from?
I definitely want to figure this issue out, it will be helpful for us to find the Immortal Mist, the Immortal Village, and even solve the case.
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and subconsciously compared the story told in autumn with the legend told by Penglai.
These two stories of the four immortals must be about Qiu Zhenhai, Wang Changyi, Ma Yi and Lu Yuntian.
The villagers must have said that the thirty-six experimenters who were used by the four people to "make immortals".
There are legends about outsiders, but there is no mention of outsiders or expulsion in the story of Autumn.
Could it be that the tenth demon is an outsider?
No, no, when I had this thought, my consciousness denied it.
If there are outsiders. The story of the Qiu family is told generously, why hide it, people with the identity of Qiu Zhenhai appear directly in the story, what else is worth hiding from the Qiu family?
So the fact that there are outsiders is denied.
Since they are not outsiders, they are the original people of this "village".
It turned out to be thirty-six people, plus four people including Qiu Zhenhai, a total of forty.
One of the earth immortals, died.
Qiu Zhenhai and four others died.
Twenty-six demon cultivators died, how come there are only nine left, could it be that the tenth demon popped out of thin air?
No, no, there must be something I've overlooked.
I turned my head and looked at Xu Ruohui again, she was also thinking hard, looking at Xu Ruohui for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, I slapped it and said, "I know, we ignored a problem, when the autumn said that the thirty-six people who were 'made immortals'." Didn't say how many women, how many men, right? ”
"If one of them had sexual intercourse with a woman and gave birth to one child, that's ten, right, that's the easiest. The question of one plus one equals three, right! ”
Xu Ruohui nodded and said, "There is a possibility, but even if it is so, there is no need for the Qiu family to hide it." ”
I said: "I can feel that my guess is in the right direction, we might as well make a few bold assumptions, the first one, that child is Qiu Zhenhai, will the Qiu family hide it?" ”
Xu Ruohui shook her head and said, "Maybe, after all, when the four immortals died in the end, the sealing of the demons has been whitewashed to a certain extent." If there is one more thing about having a child with the demon, it will undoubtedly discredit Qiu Zhenhai again. ”
I nodded along with it.
However, at this time, Penglai Ancestor said: "On the first day of the first year, will it be like this, the tenth demon cultivator is Xiao Zheng, and the people of the Qiu family have long expected Xiao Zheng to enter, so there are ten demon cultivators inside." The purpose is to warn the people who enter the future generations, telling them that there are more than nine demon cultivators inside, and they must beware of the tenth. ”
As soon as Penglai Ancestor said this, I suddenly felt that it was possible, and my previous guess seemed to have been beaten back to its original form.
I thought that my analysis was close to the truth, but I didn't expect that these two parallel threads could be the truth.
It seems that speculation alone will not solve the problem, we need to find the immortal village and go in to explore before we can make a final conclusion.
As for divination, this matter is very difficult, the immortal village under the mist of immortality. Wandering outside this world, beyond the shackles of the Great Dao, my Heavenly Tribulation Physiognomy Master can't calculate.
And then there's Xiao Zheng, he has a weird Kunlun bloodline, and I can't figure it out.
It seems that I can only wait for the Qiu family to come over, and then go to Qinling with me.
The day was very peaceful, and the next day, I called Autumn and asked when the two men would come, and Autumn said, just these two days, let me wait.
I said, "Aren't you in a hurry about this case?" ”
Autumn said, "Anyway, that Chaos Fire Beast won't grow for a while. What is in a hurry, we still need to prepare a lot of things. ”
Sure enough, this Qiu family still has something to hide from me, and what they prepared is useful after entering the immortal mist.
After hanging up the phone in the autumn, I answered a call from Wang Junhui, and he asked me if I had any cases to be solved recently. He'll be in Xichuan for the next few months, let's see if he can work with me!
Naturally, I couldn't ask for it, so I told Wang Junhui about the case of Changsheng Mist.
Wang Junhui thought for a while and said: "The existence outside the avenue, that is the loophole of the Heavenly Dao, the first day of junior high school, this case, let's get out together, the money is all yours, I don't want a penny!" ”
