Chapter 54 The Secret of the Wooden Door
Chen Jie's words made Su Chen's eyes flash slightly.
Liu Ji, whose courtesy name is Bowen, is very famous among the people, and the same is true in the metaphysics community.
In terms of Feng Shui attainments, this person can be compared with Yang Gong and Lai Buyi, but at the same time he also has divination and calculation, and is an all-round expert.
There are countless folk legends about Liu Bowen. Some are fabricated, but some are true. If the miscellaneous notes written by the scholar were true, then it would make this master so afraid, and the ancestors of Vasiba were definitely not simple.
"No matter whether the scholar's miscellaneous notes are true or false, I haven't finished some of the previous words. After in-depth research on the wooden door, my mentor finally discovered the origin of the four-eyed beast on the wooden door."
"This four-eyed beast is very likely related to Nuo culture, and it is very likely that it is the four-eyed golden mask recorded in Nuo culture. Because according to historical records, Jiangxi is considered the origin of Nuo culture, so I speculate that the ancestors of Waxiba may be the inheritor of Fang Xiang's family."
Chen Jie's words made Chen Xin and Lin Huai confused. What is Nuo culture? I have never heard of it.
Su Chen's eyes narrowed slightly at this time, and he naturally knew that in the eyes of ordinary historians, witches were religious professions in ancient times, while witches engaged in religious activities such as exorcising ghosts and respecting gods, exorcising epidemics and suppressing evil spirits was called Nuo, also known as Nuo rituals and Nuo Sacrifices. As for Fang Xiangshi, it was an official position for those who engaged in Nuo activities in ancient times.
Therefore, ordinary people habitually put witches and Nuo together, which is collectively called witches and Nuo culture.
But Su Chen learned from old man Tian that witches and Nuo are different. Witches are witches and Nuo are Nuo, and the two do not have the same concept.
There are tens of millions of methods of practicing witches, who believe in "all things have spirits". Combining witches and officials is called officials and witches; combining with medicine is called medicine and witches, and combining with divination is called divination witches.
But Nuo only does one thing, that is, to exorcise ghosts and eliminate epidemics, and to deal with ghosts and monsters. Although it is to exorcise ghosts and epidemics, this sect itself believes in ghosts and monsters.
Use ghosts to drive away ghosts and use monsters to control epidemics.
Su Chen once asked Old Man Tian curiously who was better than Wu or Nuo. Old Man Tian directly asked back: "One is to learn all kinds of martial arts, guns, sticks, and the other is to learn them in a special way. Which one do you think is great?"
"If you learn everything, you will definitely not be as good as specializing in it."
This was Su Chen's answer at that time, but he ended up eating an old man Tian's chestnut.
"A idiot, although you learn all kinds of martial arts, you can also specialize in the same way. Choose the one you are most talented in. However, if you encounter people or things related to Nuo in the future, it is best to hide. This school is very strange."
Although Old Man Tian did not say it clearly in his words, Su Chen could feel Old Man Tian’s fear of the Nuo faction, and it was so scared that Old Man Tian could imagine how powerful the Nuo faction was.
"My mentor has been studying Nuo culture for a while and I have also consulted a lot of information myself, so we can cooperate."
When Chen Jie said this, before Su Chen could express his opinion, Chen Xin stopped doing it for now.
"Sister, what kind of cooperation is not? He is your fiancé, so he should listen to you."
As soon as Chen Xin said this, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became a little weird. Judging from the previous conversation between Chen Jie and Su Chen, the two of them did not regard each other as their partner at all.
For Huo Yuyong and Lin Huai, they hoped that Chen Jie and the other party would be more unfamiliar, the better, so no one felt that there was something wrong with the way they talked, including Su Chen and Chen Jie himself.
But Chen Xin's words put the relationship that everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignored openly.
After a few seconds of silence on the scene, Su Chen said, "Let's go."
Su Chen walked in the front, holding a flashlight in his hand, and was not creaking at his feet, because they were all covered with wooden boards under their feet. Everything in the entire ancestral house was made of wood after stepping into the gate.
In this dark environment, this sound made people panic. After walking about ten meters away, another wooden door appeared in front of him.
It is a bit similar to a side hall in the palace. There are also two statues of four-eyed beasts at the door. After seeing the wooden door, Chen Jie said, "This door is the same size as the door my tutor said. If you want to go in, you can only walk in alone."
When Su Chen heard this, he frowned and asked, "What does it mean?"
"After my tutor pieced the coffin together into the door, I once did an experiment. I built a space with black cloth and placed the door on one side, which was equivalent to a room. At that time, my tutor and another scholar opened the door and walked in. As a result, after the scholar entered, my tutor could not go in anymore, and the door was automatically closed. No matter how my tutor pulled it, it couldn't open it."
"Sister, it's true, how are the people who entered?"
Chen Jie's words made Chen Xin and others look incredible. Why does this sound like telling a story?
"My tutor said he didn't know either, because just when he couldn't open the door and was about to ask for help, the wooden door disappeared, and the scholar also disappeared out of thin air. At that time, my tutor panicked and wanted to call the police, but before my tutor called the police, he received a call from the scholar's wife, saying that his husband said that he had something urgent to go out, packed his luggage and left. He didn't have time to call my tutor, so he asked his wife to call him."
"Sister, why do I feel that you are telling a story the more I hear it? The more I hear it, the more mysterious it becomes."
Although it was in the dark, Su Chen still noticed that Chen Xin was wrapped around her chest and her palms kept rubbing her arms. Obviously, the girl was standing up when she heard it.
"I didn't believe it at first, but the tutor had no reason to lie to me. As for the scholar, he has never appeared again. He is still in the public security area and is still a missing person."
Chen Jie's tone was a little helpless. She didn't want to believe such an incredible thing, but she still knew her tutor. Her tutor was an extremely rigorous person and could not make such a joke.
"If it is true, then I think we should not go in. If it disappears after entering, it will be bad." Chen Xin suggested. She also has curiosity, but compared to satisfying curiosity, she felt that she should be safe first.
"Since you can only enter one person, then I'll go in."
Su Chen believed that Chen Jie did not lie. It sounded incredible that a door made a person disappear, but not in the metaphysics world, and if he was a master of formation, he could do this.
If we judge this, there is a certain formation attached to the wooden door, but it can be wiped out or teleported away by a person. This formation is already an advanced formation. There are probably not many people in the entire metaphysics community who can create such formations.
But even so, Su Chen still did not intend to give up this opportunity. This is the only way he can change his destiny at present.
"Su Chen, you really want to go in. I think it's better to let Lin Huai go in first."
Seeing Su Chen was about to walk towards the door, Chen Xin spoke again. When she heard Chen Xin's words, Lin Huai, who was standing on the side, twitched, "I just followed the goddess, whom I have provoked, why should I let me in?"
"If it doesn't work, I think Senior Huo can do it too." This time, it was Huo Yuyong's turn to remain silent.
"Lin Huai, isn't your grandfather going to dig this place? Since it has arrived now, you will naturally have to fulfill your wish for your grandfather." Chen Xin said very naturally, and after that, he turned to Huo Yuyong, "Senior Huo, you are a graduate student. Don't you want to find out such a mysterious place?"
In Chen Xin's heart, no matter how disgusted Su Chen makes him hate him, it belongs to his own people. As for Lin Huai and Huo Yuyong, they are outsiders. This risky thing is naturally to let outsiders take the lead.
Chen Jie didn't say anything, and it seemed that he had acquiesced to what his sister said, but Su Chen would not be self-indulgent and thought that Chen Jie was considering it for him. The real reason was probably that in her heart, there was no difference between herself and Lin Huai and Huo Yuyong, and it would be the same for anyone to enter.
"I'd better go in. If I don't come out, you can go back the same way."
When Su Chen said this, his eyes were looking at Chen Xin. Although this girl kept saying that she hated her, she was the only one who really cared about her among the few people present.
After saying this, Su Chen no longer hesitated and walked directly to the wooden door, pulled the wooden door outward, and then stepped in.
Bang!
As Su Chen walked into the wooden door, the originally opened wooden door was closed as Chen Jie said before.
"Sister, Su Chen won't have any trouble, right?"
Seeing the wooden door closed, Chen Xin showed a look of worry on her face. Chen Jie answered this time, and replied: "Su Chen already knows the strangeness of this wooden door, but he still dares to go in. He must be sure and prepared."
No matter what the Chen Jie sisters thought, at this moment, inside the wooden door, with the "bang" behind her, Su Chen did not turn around, nor walked forward, but stood there, shining the surroundings with a flashlight.
Regarding formations, Su Chen also heard from several old men that formations in this world are roughly divided into two types: one is innate and the other is acquired. There is no need to mention the innate ones, as for the acquired ones, it is arranged artificially.
Even if the formation is activated, it does not mean that all functions of this formation will be activated. Most of the functions of the formation are divided into steps.
This thing is like playing games. When you create a character and enter the game, the map of the game will be loaded. However, sometimes due to the network speed or excessive storage, these maps will not be loaded at once. Instead, the dungeon map will be loaded until the player wants to enter the dungeon.
The same is true for formations. Maintaining a formation to operate at full strength requires energy consumption. In order for the formation to run for a longer time, ordinary people who set up the formation also divide the formation into several parts, so that the person entering the formation can trigger it step by step.
