"Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist," Yu Xiaoxiao said to the Great Wizard anxiously, "Why are you guys being so pretentious?"
"Xiaoxiao," Gu Xinglang pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's hand and shook his head, signaling Yu Xiaoxiao not to get angry with the great witch.
In order to calm herself down, Yu Xiaoxiao shifted her attention and looked at the boulder in front of her. She discovered that the boulder was covered with irregular holes.
Gu Xinglang looked at the boulder and said, "Can carving some patterns on it subdue these monsters?"
The Great Wizard looked at Gu Xinglang meaningfully and said nothing.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the broken stone that had fallen not far away, walked over, and lifted up the half stone with one hand.
"She..." The Great Wizard was shocked when he saw this scene.
Gu Xinglang didn't make a fuss. No matter how heavy the stone was, it couldn't be as heavy as a house.
Yu Xiaoxiao took the stone and put the two stones together again. However, no matter how carefully Yu Xiaoxiao calibrated it, she could not align all the holes in the middle.
Gu Xinglang turned his head to look at the living dead at the entrance of the cave. These people were still climbing up, and one of them had already exposed his chest. It was obvious that the stone had been closed, and the demon-suppressing stone was of no use.
Yu Xiaoxiao touched the holes on the stone for a long time.
The Great Witch asked, "What did Your Highness the Princess discover?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the Great Wizard and said, "You don't know?"
The Great Wizard shook his head and pointed to the hole in the swamp. "I don't even know what they are."
"To be honest, I don't know either," Yu Xiaoxiao grinned at the witch. Her Highness's original intention was to smile, but in the eyes of the witch, this expression looked like baring teeth. (==)
Gu Xinglang wanted to take Yu Xiaoxiao away, but they couldn't help him. The monsters in the swamp would just stand there and let them kill them. It would take them several years to kill them all.
Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang: "Xiao Gu, listen carefully."
Gu Xinglang said: "What are you listening to?"
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, but just pointed to her ear and asked Gu Xinglang to listen.
Gu Xinglang held his breath and listened carefully.
The wind blew over the boulder, and Gu Xinglang and Da Wu heard a whistle-like sound coming from the boulder.
"Listen carefully," Yu Xiaoxiao whispered, "the sound will change."
After hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said, Gu Xinglang and Da Wu had no choice but to continue listening patiently. After listening carefully for a while, they both found that the whistle sound was sometimes louder and sometimes softer, and the length of the sound was also different.
Yu Xiaoxiao flicked the stone with her finger and said to the witch: "It's not the effect of the rune, it's the sound."
The great witch looked at Yu Xiaoxiao without saying anything.
Gu Xinglang said: "Sound?"
"Xiao Gu, have you forgotten the bell in the Bodhi Temple?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Gu Xinglang.
A room full of medicine men and a bell that could knock people unconscious. Gu Xinglang would never forget it in his life. He shook his head at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "I haven't forgotten it."
"At that time, I suspected that it was voice that controlled these medicine men," Yu Xiao said. "Now that I see this stone, I can be sure that these medicine men are controlled by voice."
Gu Xinglang said: "Voice control?"
"It means controlling it with sound," Yu Xiaoxiao explained.
The Great Wizard said, "Is it this sound in the wind?"
"Yes," Yu Xiao said, "These holes are not natural. With so many great witches among you, didn't anyone notice? These are small holes made by a drill."
Da Wu and Gu Xinglang both shook their heads; they couldn't see it.
Yu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to take down the upper half of the broken stone so that Da Wu and Gu Xinglang could get closer to take a look. She said, "Look carefully, the marks are very obvious."
Some things seem like eternal mysteries until someone reminds them, but once someone reminds them, they immediately become simple math problems like one plus one equals how many.
Yu Xiaoxiao pointed at a hole that was broken in half and said, "Look at this. Do you see the circles? Circles and circles."
The drilling marks are no longer obvious because so much time has passed, but if you touch them with your hands, you can still feel the circles of drill marks.
Gu Xinglang turned his head and looked at the huge rock beside him. Even though it was broken in half, the rock was still a head taller than him. How much effort would it take to drill so many holes in such a big rock?
"Don't underestimate these thirty or so holes that can't be closed," Yu Xiaoxiao said to the Great Witch, "If the order of the holes is disrupted, the sound produced will change."
The Great Wizard said, "What does the Princess mean?"
Yu Xiao: "Tell me where my elder brother is first." This is the key point and I must never forget it.
Great Witch...
"Exchange," Yu Xiaoxiao grinned at the Great Wizard again, but her little face still looked like she was baring her teeth.
The Great Witch said, "Master Gu is not in my hands."
"He is not in Mo Wen's hands either," Yu Xiao said, "Xiao Gu and I can't see Big Brother, so let the people in the swamp come out."
"Your Highness!"
"Where is my big brother?"
Da Wu and Yu Xiaoxiao looked at each other.
Gu Xinglang stood aside, feeling a little nervous for no apparent reason.
It was very dark at midnight, and as the wind grew stronger, the whistling sound from the big rock turned into a sound more like sobbing.
The Great Witch was silent for a while, then said, "Princess Linglong, if these living dead are freed from their confinement, not only our Miao land, but the entire world will be devastated."
Yu Xiao: "Yes, you are right, where is my elder brother?"
What should the great witch do when faced with this stubborn person?
"Princess, do you really have a solution?" the Great Witch asked Yu Xiaoxiao.
"What else?" Yu Xiao: "If you don't believe me, why did you bring me here? I've seen several enhanced versions of medicine men in Fengjing."
The Great Wizard was silent again, then looked at the big stone and said with enlightenment: "Make another stone like this."
"That's a solution," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "But this stone is so big and has so many holes. How long will it take you to finish it? Let me remind you again that the depth of the holes is also important. It won't work if it's too deep or too shallow. Great witch, by the time you've copied the stone, these zombies will have crawled out, right?"
Gu Xinglang then clasped his fists towards the Great Wizard and said, "Great Wizard, no matter how powerful or difficult the people who captured my elder brother are, we must rescue my elder brother. Please do not hide it."
Yu Xiao: "Tell me, who is this ruthless character?"
The Great Witch looked at Gu Xinglang.
Seeing this man staring at Gu Xinglang, Yu Xiaoxiao said, "That's my little Gu's biological brother. It doesn't matter if they die together. If the elder brother dies and my little Gu is still alive, then my little Gu won't have to live the rest of his life."
The Great Witch said, "Gold."
Yu Xiaoxiao said fiercely: "It really is this villain!"
The Great Wizard shook his head and said, "He is not a bad person."
Gu Xinglang said: "He is not a bad guy, why did he arrest my eldest brother?"
