Chapter 177 Qin Zhuan
The evil spirit in the entire underground was almost solidified into substance, even Tom seemed to be able to see it, and the misty and almost concrete evil aura made Tom shudder.
Walking down the stairs in the basement, the stairs were not long and only had two turning points, but the stairs were a little narrow and extremely dark. Because it was underground, there were no windows and basically no light source.
Originally, there were electric lights in the basement, but because of the strange situation in the basement, the owner of the house stopped entering the basement a few years ago. Over time, the circuits in the basement have also aged, and the electric lights at this time are just decorations.
Tom used the fluorescent spell to illuminate his feet, while Emma put her fingers together like swords, with a talisman between her fingers exuding a majestic aura.
"Weijie!?" Tom called softly.
After a long time, Qin Weijie's voice came from the basement: "Coward, hurry down, there is no danger inside, if something happens, I will definitely run faster than you."
Hearing Qin Weijie's response, Tom breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to stride forward, but he was stopped by Emma before he took a step.
Tom looked at Emma behind him in confusion.
"Something is wrong, nightmares have the ability to create illusions."
"But we didn't enter the dream?" Tom asked puzzled.
Emma concentrated and sighed: "Indeed, but I always feel uneasy. I always feel that there is something below that I resist very much, like a natural enemy."
"Maybe you think too much, let's go! I will protect you!" Tom said and protected Emma behind him.
Emma smiled bitterly and looked at Tom, thinking in her heart, 'You protect me? Why does it feel like a kitten standing in front of a big tiger and swearing to protect the tiger. ’
Just at this moment, Tom suddenly turned around, looked at Emma with a wronged face and said dissatisfiedly:
"Don't criticize me in your heart. When you are emotionally unstable, the spell you set up can't block my investigation! And you explain to me what it means to be a kitten standing in front of a big tiger and saying that it wants to protect the tiger! We are familiar with each other, but I will be angry if you criticize me like this..."
He said he would be angry, but in fact Tom was not unhappy at all. Compared with Qin Weijie, Tom was obviously more gentlemanly.
Holding Emma's hand, Tom walked down with the light of the magic wand and entered the basement in a short time. He saw Qin Weijie's back from a distance.
At this time, the two found that Qin Weijie was squatting in front of a huge wooden box with his legs apart and a farmer's posture, as if he was studying the patterns on the wooden box.
"What the hell are you yelling about? I thought something was wrong with you!" Tom strode forward and slapped Qin Weijie's neck with his right hand. A red palm print appeared instantly, and Tom retreated about five meters familiarly.
If it were normal, Qin Weijie would definitely turn over to grab Tom, and then give him a taste of his own medicine. This is the most familiar way of playing around between the two.
However, today, Qin Weijie remained unmoved. He just scratched his neck and pouted, saying, "I don't even feel tired of tickling with your strength... Okay, stop making trouble and come and see."
Qin Weijie pointed to the big wooden box in front of him that was ten centimeters higher than Qin Weijie's squatting posture. Tom looked along Qin Weijie's finger and first noticed Qin Weijie's wrist instead of the wooden box.
Qin Weijie had a black bracelet on his right wrist. The pattern on the bracelet looked a bit like a snake. Tom didn't see it clearly because the light was dim. It just flashed by.
Tom remembered that Qin Weijie didn't bring a bracelet when he went out today.
In Tom's memory, Qin Weijie was a bracelet that could change size. On weekdays, Qin Weijie sometimes changed it into the size of a bracelet, and sometimes directly turned it into a ring and wore it on his finger. However, Qin Weijie's bracelet was clearly a bronze ring with complex but oriental-feeling patterns engraved on it.
Tom remembered that it was given to Qin Weijie by Mr. Eagle at the entrance of the Ravenclaw College lounge. It seemed to be related to the Chinese Xuanfa.
Qin Weijie also told Tom that the ring that could change size could calm the mind, increase wisdom, and improve efficiency, so Qin Weijie had been wearing it since he got the bronze door knocker from Mr. Eagle in the first grade.
But the bracelet Tom saw just now was obviously very different. Tom was also a little confused at this time, wondering if he had seen it wrong because the room was dim or if there was really any change.
Tom was stunned for a moment, and then he no longer cared. He raised his eyes and looked at the wooden cabinet following Qin Weijie's guidance.
"What is this text!?" Tom exclaimed.
Following Tom's gaze, he saw that the entire walnut-colored wooden box was tied with a bright red ribbon, and some words could be vaguely seen on the ribbon. Tom looked closely and found that these words looked a bit like Chinese characters, but they were obviously different from the traditional Chinese characters Tom had learned. The characters were more ancient and obscure.
"Qin Zhuan?"
Emma also noticed the words on the ribbon at this time and spoke subconsciously.
Qin Weijie shook his head: "Don't pay attention to these runes, mainly look at this box, this box has been sealed..."
"Oh, you are really smart..." Tom rolled his eyes at Qin Weijie: "Didn't Pierce say that they used magic to seal the ancient books? Your nonsense literature has improved again! I am willing to admit defeat."
Qin Weijie pouted and reached out to grab Tom to teach this kid a lesson, but this grab was empty. Tom seemed to know what he was going to do. He performed a flash one step ahead and appeared three meters away.
Seeing that Tom was not caught, Qin Weijie said viciously: "You have been very arrogant recently. I don't have time to mess with you now. I will deal with you later!"
Qin Weijie pointed to the wooden box sealed with a red ribbon and said: "This seal was added recently, and the most important thing is that this seal uses the Chinese Xuanfa.
I was a little confused when I just entered the door. The evil spirit in the whole house is too heavy. If the seal in the basement has the ability to gather evil spirits, then why is the evil spirit in the whole house like a rootless duckweed floating in the house.
The strong evil spirit is clearly not guided by any force. It was not until I saw the seal here that I understood that the objects or formations that gather evil spirits were blocked by the seal, so the condensed evil spirits would overflow and gather in the whole house."
After hearing Qin Weijie's words, Tom and Emma looked at each other, both of them had confusion and shock in their eyes.
Emma went forward to take a closer look, and soon Emma exclaimed: "'Huntian Kunmo Ling'? Although it is a replica, it is also a top-grade magic weapon... and the Qin seal on the 'Huntian Kunmo Ling' is a copy of the 'Shihuang Zhenshu', which has the power of suppression.
Judging from the concentration of Xuanqi, this seal was set up for as long as a month and as short as about ten days. Before we came, a Chinese cultivator entered here! And it was recently!"
