Li Huaiyun nodded. The possibility mentioned by Mu Yuan is actually not small. The underground rivers in the north of Kyoto and the sewers of the palace are guarded by monsters.
Now, this monster in the lake is most likely guarding something!
Could it be that there are key clues hidden at the bottom of the lake? He clicked his tongue softly. Will this affect my judgment?
In this case, you need to think more carefully and not miss any possibility, otherwise something may go wrong!
Li Huaiyun paced back and forth in the pavilion, lost in thought.
Mu Yuan watched him walking back and forth and urged, "What are you still thinking about? Since we have no clue, we should go do more important things!"
"This matter is probably a key clue! It would be bad if it affects the judgment!"
"Then don't think too much, and solve the matter at hand first!" Mu Yuan said, "Hurry and go to other parts of the palace to see where the human stakes are! It's useless for us to think hard here!"
Li Huaiyun turned his head sideways, glanced at her, and calmed down, "What you said makes sense! Finding the location of the human stake is the most important thing right now."
He raised his hand and tried to determine the position in the palace and in the sewer. He thought to himself that according to architecture, load-bearing piles should have specific positions so that they can support the entire building.
In the sewer, he saw several places with supporting walls. There should be heavy objects corresponding to the human piles in the rock wall.
Li Huaiyuan turned his head and looked at the largest main room in Qihua Palace. Could it be somewhere in the main room?
Mu Yuan saw Li Huaiyun staring at the main house not far away, "Do you think the human stake will be there?"
"It's very possible! Because that area is the heaviest place in the entire dormitory!"
"Then how to determine the specific location?"
Li Huaiyun covered his chin with a sad look on his face. As for the specific location...
Mu Yuan said casually, "How can we determine the specific location without marking it."
Her words immediately reminded Li Huaiyun.
"Oops!" Li Huaiyun slapped his thigh fiercely, "I should have thought of it a long time ago!"
"Uh! What do you think of?"
"We can't determine the specific location, so do the men in black robes don't know the specific location either!"
"Huh? They don't know?"
Li Huaiyun explained excitedly, "If you think about it, these people should be the clearest targets when it comes to human stakes."
"The sewers and the dormitory are not connected up and down, so there must be specific marks for subsequent planning. Therefore, they must make specific marks in the dormitory to prevent the location from being mistaken."
After Mu Yuan understood, he nodded in agreement. This speculation was indeed quite reasonable, "In order to prevent the marks from being discovered, they should be well hidden!"
"No matter how well you hide it, there will always be flaws, because they are monsters and their thoughts are different from those of humans."
"That being said, what kind of mark do you think it will be?"
"I don't know!"
"Then why don't you go in and take a look!"
"Um!"
Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan walked towards the main room of the palace. He vaguely felt that the location of the human stake should be easy to guess.
At this time, he looked at the burnt big locust tree and saw traces in the soil on the ground. Then he suddenly reacted, turned around immediately, and walked forward.
Mu Yuan saw him walking away, "Where are you going?"
"No need to go in! I guessed it!" Li Huaiyun came to the pushed down tree trunk, and then kicked the tree trunk that had been burned to charcoal.
"I should have thought that it would be here, a familiar yet strange place."
Seeing him talking to himself, Hongyun also walked up and asked loudly, "What are you talking about? Can you guess what the sign is?"
"Yes!" Li Huaiyun nodded, "Actually, this matter is very simple. It just happened for a moment and my mind didn't turn around. It's a pity that I just saw the big burned locust tree."
Big locust tree! Mu Yuan seemed to have thought of something. After a while, he shouted in surprise, "The human stake is exactly where the incense was placed."
"You guessed it right!" Li Huaiyun pointed at her and said, "However, there are two places in the palace, and the other one is where the potted plants are!"
"Two? Isn't there only one place on the rock wall with the talisman?"
Li Huaiyun explained, "There is only one place to put the talisman paper, but do you know how thick the rock wall is?"
"Then how do I know?"
"Actually, there are two human stakes hidden in the rock wall. They are at the innermost part of the rock wall, one behind the other. This corresponds to the two places where incense is placed in the palace."
He looked towards the palace, "It seems that my initial guess was wrong. The talisman hidden in the soil is actually the same as the talisman on the rock wall, but the reason why it is not posted outside is Afraid of others finding out."
Mu Yuan snorted softly, "I can't believe that putting incense in the soil can actually be used as a mark! I thought of them so well that I really thought it was to commemorate my mother!"
"Not necessarily. Maybe someone really planned to do this, but was just taken advantage of."
Li Huaiyun squatted down and pulled out the incense stick stuck in the soil. The moment he pulled it out, a gloomy, cold, and bloody smell poured out from the small holes.
He looked at the small holes with his breath technique and found that the breath was all blood red.
He suddenly had a special idea, probably because he had a special impulse when he saw the hole in the soil.
Li Huaiyun inserted his fingers deep into the hole. At this time, a stream of extremely cold Yin Qi penetrated directly from his fingertips into his body and traveled through his body along with the blood and Qi in his body.
Even though he had entered the Hedao realm, he was unable to completely force out the Yin Qi from his body immediately, and he could not even control it at the basic level.
Li Huaiyun reluctantly took his finger out of the hole. His whole body had begun to tremble, and he felt his body stiffening rapidly. How many people were buried in this pile, and it had such a cold atmosphere?
He had no choice but to completely release the essence in his Dantian, and stimulated the essence to generate a warm yang fire in his body, and then slowly dispersed the yin energy in his body.
If it weren't for the essence of my body, if it were an ordinary person, my body would have been injured by this yin energy.
He stood up and frowned, "You can't be wrong! This must be where the human stake is! I can feel that special yin energy, and ordinary people can't deal with it."
"Then your previous guess that someone posted talismans here to suppress the evil spirits should be confirmed!"
"Yes! The situation I speculated is completely correct!" Li Huaiyun explained, "Someone put incense here and buried talismans. In fact, it is just like the talismans posted in the sewer."
"It's also to suppress resentment!"
"Now that we've found it, what should we do next?"
"Now we just wait and wait. Someone will definitely come here, bringing sulfur and saltpeter, along with the burnt charcoal in the yard, to bury leads where the two human stakes are."
"At a specific time, the explosives will be detonated to destroy the human piles in the sewers and cause serious chaos. Then, the monsters raised will be able to come out in full force to attack specific targets."
"This method is quite hidden. If it is not handled in time, it is really risky."
"Then what more arrangements do we need here?"
"It would be better if Sikyong comes here to arrange the arrangements!" Li Huaiyun said, "I only ask that I can go to the front line."
"You're crazy! Being at the front is quite dangerous!"
"This is also a person who can achieve great military exploits! By the way, I can test what kind of monsters the Hedao realm can deal with."
Mu Yuan couldn't help but shook her head and glanced at Li Huaiyun. This guy seemed to be getting more and more confident, "You have to be careful. Since you are here to attack the imperial city, the monster will definitely not be easy."
"That's natural!" Li Huaiyun clenched his fist tightly, thinking that there was no need to check the broken arm. Anyway, it had already been checked here.
"I'll contact Sikyong!" Mu Yuan took out the token and jumped onto the roof of the palace.
Li Huaiyun was observing the entire palace and thinking about how to arrange it to catch all the monsters.
He pinched his chin, still a little confused as to why those monsters were attacking the imperial city!
If you are not completely sure, why do you do this kind of thing? You know that the security in the imperial city is very tight.
A thought flashed through Li Huaiyun's mind. Could it be that they had a deeper purpose?
Not long after, Qin Gang appeared in the palace. He saw Li Huaiyun and Mu Yuan with solemn expressions before he could speak.
Li Huaiyun stood beside him and whispered, "Sikyong, we'd better leave here first. Hurry up and send someone here to watch!"
"What's wrong?"
"It's very important. Find a special place to talk about it in detail."
Qin Gang saw that both of them looked serious, so he called the people around him and arranged for the demon catcher to patrol nearby.
"By the way," Li Huaiyun said hurriedly. He had forgotten something just now. "Don't keep the troops here. We have some special circumstances."
"Special circumstances?"
"Yes! It's a very special situation."
"okay I know!"
After the explanation, they chose the Star Watching Tower in the palace, which is a place used by officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty Supervision Department to observe the weather, stars, seasons and other aspects.
Standing on the top of the tower, Li Huaiyun looked at the blue sky and the mountain peaks in the distance. With the tower as the center, various residential buildings spread out in a special style.
He looked at the entire Kyoto below him, everything seemed so small.
There is a strong cross wind on this high tower. Without some cultivation, it is easy to be unable to stand firmly.
Li Huaiyun roughly told what happened.
Qin Gang stroked his flowing gray beard, "This matter is so complicated!" However, he also had some doubts about this, "Everything this plan does is to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the people they gathered The power is not impressive enough! In fact... I feel that nothing in the whole plan can be accomplished."
"I don't know if I'm too worried or something!"
Li Huaiyun responded, "Not only Sikyong, but I also find it strange, but is it possible that this is a prelude!"
"Overture!" Qin Gang thought for a moment, then nodded, "You mean, this is just a test."
"Yes! Prepare for that tidal wave of attacks later!"
"In this way, it can be explained smoothly. It seems that the Demon Slayer Division will have elites coming in and out this time!" Qin Gang looked at Mu Yuan, "Disciple! This time the monster attacks, you must return to Qianji Pavilion as soon as possible. , try to create and forge suitable spiritual weapons as quickly as possible, so that more monster hunters can deal with monsters."
