Chapter 260 directions
Nobita was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "I said, I was joking just now. This knife can't speak at all."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the knife in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
And the posture of the knife to the ground is also strange. It is the handle of the knife that hits the ground, and the whole knife stands up.
The three of us looked strangely, and at this time, the knife suddenly fell down and pointed in one direction.
When Nobita saw that the knife had fallen off, he bent down to pick it up, and I immediately stopped him and said, "Wait..."
Nobita looked at me inexplicably, but I looked in the direction pointed by the blade and said, "Go over there and have a look."
At this time, Daxiong laughed and said, "Oh, what's wrong with you? If this knife falls to the ground casually, you have to go there. This is not a way at all. In case you don't find anything, it's a waste of time."
After saying that, he casually threw the knife on the ground and said, "Look, the direction of this knife is different every time, compared with each..."
Before he finished speaking, he was stunned, because the direction pointed by the knife was still the first direction just now.
All three of us looked at the knife on the ground with doubtful eyes, and then Daxiong stood the knife handle on the ground again and let it fall down by itself.
As a result, the knife still points in the same direction.
At this time, Daxiong said, "I don't believe it. This knife is more accurate than the compass."
Nobita experimented over and over again, and we didn't want to pay attention to him and walked in the direction of the knife.
Through several old locust trees and a medicine garden, with the help of the light of the flashlight, we saw a reed plant appear in front of us.
And we also heard the sound of a gentle stream coming from the reed bush.
"There should be a river ahead." Nie Chuan said to me.
I nodded and said, "I said before that if it weren't in trees and caves, it would be most likely by the river."
"Hey! Wait for me..." At this time, Nobita also hurriedly followed.
"We're going to find water ghosts by the river. What are you doing here?" I said to Nobita angrily.
Nobita was stunned for a moment and said, "Water...water ghost? Hey hey, what am I afraid of? The female ghost with eight pairs of eyes was killed by me just now. The water ghost is a river boy at most, and ten of them are not enough for me to beat.
Nobita is right. Japanese water ghosts generally refer to river boys.
It is a humanoid monster with a turtle shell, which is transformed by a drowned child and likes to drag people to the ground to drown.
It is also said that Kappa is a kind monster that will rescue people who fall into the water.
There are countless legends about kappa in Japan, and many people say that they have witnessed kappa with their own eyes.
In China, water ghosts are not called kappa, but water monkeys.
It is said that it is a monster that lives at the bottom of the water with red hair. It also likes to harm people, but like kappa, it is a kind of ghost with entities.
Nobita has no fear of everything that can be hit with his fist.
There are many legends about water monkeys in China, but it is said that many people have seen them with their own eyes, so the existence of water ghosts has always been very controversial.
We have also seen several monsters before and gradually believe in the existence of monsters, so it is impossible to say that there are no monsters such as river boys by this river.
So I recalled all the information about the water ghost first, which did not mean that I was going to deliberately scare Nobita, but to make him psychologically prepared.
While thinking back, we pulled the reeds away and started a group of fireflies that stopped on the reeds and danced like stars.
A toad the size of a straw shoe jumped over my feet, which scared me to shrink.
Seeing that the toad was so big, Nobita chased after a few steps and wanted to catch the toad back and roast it, but failed to catch up.
We laughed at him and said that they would catch and eat fat things. No wonder the monster dumplings want to bite you, because you are also the fattest human beings.
While joking, we walked through the reeds and came to a shallow beach.
At this time, the sound of the water is louder, because not far ahead of us is a big river more than ten meters wide.
This stone beach is composed of countless small stones, which are as small as thumbs and as big as fists. They are mainly black stones and have few colors.
I know at a glance that this stone beach is not formed naturally, because the color and size of the stone have been strictly screened, and one of them is round and smooth when picked up.
This beach should have been a horticultural landscape for the owner of the shrine to take a cool walk or enjoy the moon in summer.
As we walked along the beach, we saw an attic where we stayed at night and enjoyed the moon on the river.
The attic is built on a trestle that extends to the middle of the river. Under the attic is the center of the river, facing water, like a peninsula.
The attic is divided into three floors, and the structure is very solid. Although it has gone through the years, it doesn't look scrisy at all.
I let Nobita lose the knife again, and the knife pointed straight to the attic.
All three of us look at each other, because there is no way for herbs to grow in the attic, and herbs are not potted plants, so they will definitely not grow in the house.
So what exactly is the place this knife refers to?
I see that there is a slight water vapor in the attic, and there is a hazy and illusory feeling in a trance, or take a sentence from Journey to the West: "Master, what a heavy demonic spirit."
"Are we going to have a look in the attic?" Nie Chuan looked at me.
But I shook my head resolutely and said, "Let's go back to find herbs. There is a very uncomfortable smell in this attic, and there can't be any herbs."
The two immediately agreed with me, because they didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
But we were about to turn around and walk back when a dark yellow light suddenly lit up on the third floor of the attic.
What I'm most afraid of is that this kind of thing will happen, because we absolutely didn't intend to go upstairs to see it, but there is a light upstairs, which means that there must be someone up there, and it is impossible for monsters to light the lights.
And the ghost can only blow the lamp and will not light the lamp.
Who the hell is upstairs? Why did the lamp light up? Is Xie Yuting's people investigating the attic, or is Lei Yunsheng's remnants still wandering here?
In short, it is necessary for us to go up and have a look to know the answer.
Obviously, as soon as they saw this light, Daxiong and Nie Chuan also hesitated and looked at me.
I looked helpless. I thought for a moment and said, "I have broken through the Longtan tiger's den. Is there still an attic left? If you really encounter any ambush inside, you can only be lucky to come to the end.
Nobita smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said, "The ideas of pure men are always similar, don't you think? Kawako?"
Nie Chuan also smiled awkwardly. Obviously, his curiosity was also aroused, and he didn't want others to know that he was not a pure man.
The three of us discussed it and decided to let Nobita with a magic weapon walk in the front. I walked at the end, and Nie Chuan, as a military, walked in the middle. If anything happens, we can take care of each other.
When we stepped on the gravel beach and came to the bottom of the attic, we found that the two large wooden doors in the attic were open. Tonight, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and we couldn't see what was going on in the house.
But looking up at the third floor, the candlelight above still flashed.
There is a gently flowing river water on both sides, and the cold water vapor at night drifts gently through the breeze, hitting us cold.
Nobita held the knife in his hand, put the miniature wolf-eye flashlight in his mouth, took a breath, and walked into the attic.
Nie Chuan and I also hit the flashlight and followed in one after the other.
As soon as we entered the door, we saw a huge screen with a height of more than three meters.
The shelf of this screen is made of high-grade maple, with a long white silk screen in the middle. On the screen, there is a peacock living on the branches. Whether it is the branches of trees, leaves, or peacock feathers, they are embroidered exquisitely and beautifully.
The three of us looked at the screen and our eyes lit up, and obviously were impressed by this exquisite craftsmanship.
I have to say that in addition to tea ceremony and flower arrangement, Japanese embroidery also has its own characteristics.
Daxiong looked at the screen and frowned slightly, turning his head to look at me.
