Chapter 175 It’s too early to be happy
After Xi Yueyao told everyone the clues he knew, everyone started looking for other clues. According to the custom of Zangling Village, clues and secrets are placed together and cannot be too far away. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the old man had to continue to pose and wait with his eyes closed.
Xun Yuanfeng came to a tall Buddha statue with a lotus platform in front of it. "This Buddha statue... gives me an ominous feeling."
Xi Yueyao saw Xun Yuanfeng standing motionless in front of the Buddha statue, so she walked up and asked, "Any clues?"
Xun Yuanfeng nodded, "I'm just curious about this Buddha statue, and the lotus seat in front of the Buddha... the twelve earthly branches..."
Xi Yueyao looked at the Buddha statue and felt that it was normal. After all, the Buddha statues in this village were all the six-buried Bodhisattvas, with strange appearances. Looking for the golden plate on the lotus seat that Xun Yuanfeng mentioned, there was a concave spot next to each word, and there was some wax inside.
Xi Yueyao remembered the clue she had found, which was related to time, so she used a flint to ignite the wax on the plate. As the flint was lit, the shadow of the vertical needle in the middle pointed to the time around her like the hands of a clock.
After the time was established, Xi Yueyao saw that the surrounding environment suddenly changed, as if she had traveled through time. "Xun Yuanfeng, can you see it?"
Hearing Xi Yueyao's question, Xun Yuanfeng asked in confusion: "What? Nothing happened here?"
Tao Mengyan searched around the old man for a long time but didn't find any key clues. She shouted to the old man, "Old man, do you know how to get in? You don't know, do you?"
"... I am the Great Wizard, the greatest Wizard, Paper Bride. If you let that girl give me the bell, I will be able to know the secrets of this tower."
Tao Mengyan looked at the old man in confusion, "What if you are lying to me? You so-called great witches are all liars. I don't believe you."
Seeing Tao Mengyan's defense against him, the old man took out a faceless bronze man from his arms and said to Tao Mengyan, "Look at this faceless bronze man in my hand. It has no holes on its face so it can be the mouth, tongue, ears and eyes of the Zang Zun. It is a symbol of the great witch and a thing of great fortune! You won't lose anything if you exchange it for the bell."
Tao Mengyan said: "I don't believe you."
Seeing this, the old man said, "Who am I to deceive a girl like you? I am a great wizard. I will guarantee it with my identity as a great wizard. How about that?"
Tao Mengyan thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to Sister Xi." Then she wanted to go look for Xi Yueyao.
Xun Yuanfeng saw Xi Yueyao standing motionless as if he saw something, but he couldn't discover anything even after opening the elemental vision. However, he used Qi to move his eyes and there were some faint fluctuations in his eyes, but he couldn't see anything clearly.
Remembering that Xi Yueyao saw something because she ignited the time disk, Xun Yuanfeng blew out the flame, and Xi Yueyao came back after being separated from the perception of time.
Xun Yuanfeng asked Xi Yueyao: "Did Sister Xi see anything?"
Xi Yueyao nodded, "I just felt a sense of weightlessness. When I opened my eyes, I saw the great wizard hundreds of years ago being wiped out by Di Renjie and his troops."
Xun Yuanfeng asked curiously: "But I didn't see anything?"
Xi Yueyao said, "It may be related to my eyes. When I was in Zangling Village, I saw that the craftsman Xiao who built the tower had a pair of eyes like this. The Xi family and the Xiao family are relatives, so it may be that I have regressed to my ancestors, so I can see it. It may also be that I am sick and seeing hallucinations. After all, if I had suppressed it at the time, this would not have happened."
Xun Yuanfeng nodded. "I saw Di Renjie leading his troops to clear out the area when I first came to Zangling Village. I think the plate must be related to your eyes. This place was also built by Craftsman Xiao. I suspect this plate must be Craftsman Xiao's."
Xi Yueyao nodded, "I think that should be the case."
"Sister Xiao Xi..." Tao Mengyan's voice came from a distance.
The sound came from far away and gradually got closer. Tao Mengyan saw Xi Yueyao and Xun Yuanfeng from afar and they ran over quickly.
Tao Mengyan came up to the two of them and said, "Oh, Yuanfeng, you are here too. I found a clue. The old man has a faceless bronze man in his hand, and he wants to use it to exchange for the bell in Sister Xi's hand."
Xi Yueyao took out a bell and a mask. "This bell belongs to Lao Xiao. He was holding this bell and this mask before he was caught."
Xun Yuanfeng looked at the bell and mask in Xi Yueyao's hand, and said to Tao Mengyan: "This bell mask seems to be the one in the village chief's hand."
Tao Mengyan identified it and nodded to Xun Yuanfeng, "Yes, it belongs to that charlatan. Why are there so many bells..."
Xun Yuanfeng told Tao Mengyan about his discovery.
Tao Mengyan said: "How about we take the bronze man from the old man first, and then study this plate?"
Xi Yueyao nodded and said, "Okay."
Xun Yuanfeng brought Xi Yueyao and Tao Mengyan to the old man. Tao Mengyan shouted to the old man, "Old man, how do you want to trade?"
The old man said to Tao Mengyan, "Who am I to deceive a girl like you? Let's put all these items on the table and then take them away. I'll let you, the younger one, take them first."
After saying that, he took out the faceless bronze man and placed it on the stage. Xi Yueyao also placed the bell on the stage and took the faceless bronze man away.
The old man picked up the bell and laughed, "Hahaha... Lingmei, you, a thousand-year-old evil spirit, are just a little kid. Do you know that even without the mask, as long as I have this bell in my hand..."
Xi Yueyao pulled with both hands suddenly, and the bell in the old man's hand flew towards Xi Yueyao uncontrollably. Xun Yuanfeng grabbed the bell flying in the air and looked at the old man with amusement.
The old man was stunned. He blinked and closed his eyes angrily, as if he was ready to beat or kill you.
Tao Mengyan grabbed Xi Yueyao and said to her curiously: "Sister Xi, you are so amazing, how did you do it?" Tao Mengyan did not feel any elemental force at all, proving that Xi Yueyao had no supernatural power at all.
Xi Yueyao said: "This is what I found Lao Xiao threw in the visiting room when I was looking for him in the Thirteenth Hospital. I brought it with me, but I didn't expect to use it here." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the fishing line in his hand was faintly visible in the reflection of the fire.
