Just when Li Chu was about to forcefully break the formation, Su Yi stopped him and said, "Someone from the An family is refining puppets. It is not a wise move to forcefully break the formation."
"Refining a puppet?" Bai Musheng's face turned gloomy as he said, "Did you know that the Thousand Changes Stone in my house has been stolen?" Chinese website
"The Thousand-Change Stone? Puppetry?" Li Chu asked with some uncertainty, "Sealing the soul, refining the body, taking the soul, and then using the silk thread refined from the Thousand-Change Stone to replace the soul to control the puppet? The Thousand-Change Stone is indestructible and the puppet is not injured. The soul is immortal and the puppet is immortal.”
"The Thousand Thousand Threads Indestructible Puppet is not injured, and the Immortal Soul Puppet is immortal. This type of puppet technique can only be performed by the ghost clan. So far, the only ghost clan that can refine the body of a monk is the ghost king Chu Ming."
Bai Musheng said that he only heard one person's words. Although he did not believe that the ghost clan that had disappeared for 30,000 years would reappear, for the sake of safety, he still took out the transmission talisman to ask for help from the City Lord's Mansion, but unfortunately the transmission was blocked.
"Bai Yi." Bai Musheng frowned and realized something was wrong. He turned around and signaled Bai Yi to return to the city lord's palace to ask for help. If the person who made the puppet was really the ghost king Chu Ming, I am afraid that the entire Guanyun City would be unable to do anything to him.
Bai Yi's figure quickly disappeared into the night, and Li Chu was doubtful and prepared to send someone back for help.
The elder who came with Li Chu to look for people couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he saw that his young master planned to go back and ask for reinforcements with just one sentence. He asked Su Yi: "The ghost clan has been exterminated for 30,000 years, and few people in the world know about the ghost clan. It exists, and the puppet technique is the secret technique of the ghost clan. How did Mr. Xiang know about it? If he knew, why did he wait until now to talk about it? "
"I don't know that this junior is not very talented and knowledgeable, but this matter was mentioned in the letter left by the master. I dare not not know it." Faced with the question, Su Yi remained calm and composed.
As for why I didn’t say anything, everyone present knows it well.
Even if I say it, it’s about the ghost clan, how many people will believe it, and how many people will dare to come forward?
As he spoke, a monk who was proficient in formations came forward to look for a way to pass through the confusion formation smoothly at Bai Musheng's signal.
Hua Ruxue looked at the elder coldly. If she told the story about the puppet master in the An family after learning about Li Zangzhi's disappearance in the city lord's palace, wouldn't she mean that she knew that Li Zangzhi was in the An family at the moment and was about to be killed by the puppet master? Refined into a puppet?
Although she rescued Li Zangzhi, she brought An Murong into the Li family and personally delivered the puppet master's puppet to Li Zangzhi. No matter whether the matter has anything to do with her or not, Li will definitely be angry with her.
However, if you follow the guidance of the compass to find the land where you settle down, the situation will naturally be different.
Hua Ruxue said: "Just now the compass pointed to the north. The An family is not the only one north of the city lord's palace. It wasn't until I walked out of the Tian family's sphere of influence and came to the An family's territory that I dared to confirm that Young Master Li San had fallen into the An family. It was very possible that he had fallen into the An family. Into the hands of the puppet master."
"Then how did you know that the An family had a puppet master?" the elder asked again.
"Today, Master An came out of seclusion. My brother and I were brought into the An family. At the banquet, I saw a plum blossom appear behind the neck of Master An whenever someone came close to it. The plum blossom mark was the same as the puppet mark left by the ghost king that my brother mentioned before. Very similar.
After some inquiring, I discovered that this person had previously been at odds with Patriarch An, but one day he suddenly became a close confidant of Patriarch An. His tone and demeanor had never changed in the following years, and he had been seriously injured and nearly died several times. Japan will reappear intact. These three points are completely consistent with the characteristics of a puppet. "
In order to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion, Hua Ruxue did not tell An Murong. However, with the wit of Li Chu and Bai Musheng, they could guess that An Murong and Li Changzhi were abnormal by simply connecting them. Mu Rong has been refined into a puppet, and the next person to be refined into a puppet is Li Zhizhi.
After saying that, Hua Ruxue took out the dried Lingyin grass seedling and said to everyone: "This is Lingyin grass. It can only grow in places where spiritual energy and Yin energy meet. After coming out of Anjia today, this The seeds sprouted inexplicably, and An's family had a yin energy."
When the elder heard this, he said in disbelief: "The reason why the third young master suddenly changed his temperament is..."
Li Chu's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but he turned around and ordered the guards behind him to go back immediately and ask for support, "If necessary, ask the ancestor to come out and help."
As soon as a monk enters the period of transcending tribulation, he will choose a secluded place to practice with peace of mind in preparation for the tribulation.
To avoid the thunder calamity, don’t care about the world. When the family is in trouble, only the ancestors will help for the sake of their descendants.
"When I was looking for Sister Ning, I was first misled into entering the inner city. Then I found out from the young city lord that Sister Ning had never entered the inner city. Now the compass shows that Sister Ning is in the An family in the inner city. It can allow people to enter the inner city without being noticed. , whose cultivation level must be above that of you and me.
However, when I got the compass for the first time and returned to the outer city to get the token, the compass had been tampered with. Now the Mysterious Formation has been activated outside An Mansion. Each of these incidents is undoubtedly delaying time. If one person can defeat an entire city, why are they so cautious? "
Hua Ruxue expressed her confusion. Such a plan was just to delay time, making people have to doubt the strength of the An family ghost, and the true reason why he took away Yang Ling, Li Zhizhi and Ning Shuyan. intention.
"Xiaoxue is right, the layout is tight, and there must be some conspiracy." Bai Musheng rubbed the long sword Chunjun on her waist, thinking about the whole incident, "If the ghost clan hiding in An's family only refines puppets, the beast tide will The best time to take action is after the start. No matter who he takes away at that time, people outside the city won't even care about looking for them."
Li Chu looked at the monks who were still looking for the entrance to the Lost Array, and felt anxious again. It wasn't until he heard the words "If one person can defeat a city, why are you so cautious?" He slowly calmed down.
Li Chu said: "Monks from all walks of life gathered in Guanyun City in the early stage of the Beast Tide. Taking action now will only directly expose his whereabouts. He chose to take action at this time. If he is not completely sure that he is not afraid of anyone, it is because time is running out and he has concerns. I have to take action."
The ghost clan hiding in Anjia acted so cautiously, so it was obviously the latter.
At this moment, the entrance to the Lost Array was also found.
Before entering the confusion formation, Bai Musheng warned everyone: "In recent years, there have been many single-spirited monks who have entered the An family. We still don't know the depth of it, so we must not be reckless."
With An Murong's fancy name, we can almost predict how many puppets there are in the An family.
"Time is running out. If that ghost wants to delay time, we must not let him get his wish." Li Chu urged the formation master who was walking at the front to lead the way quickly.
The next moment, lights suddenly lit up on the long street, and the darkness surrounding everyone subsided.
The Lost Formation has disappeared!
The Lost Tracing Array suddenly disappeared, and the group looked at each other in confusion. Then Li Chu was the first to react and rushed towards An Mansion, all the way unimpeded.
Hua Ruxue and Su Yi followed closely. At this moment, she was eager to find Ning Shuyan. The life and death of others had nothing to do with her.
"There are puppets!" Li Chu's voice came from the front, followed by the sound of weapons clashing.
Hua Ruxue nimbly avoided the puppets rushing toward her. These puppets were extremely light and not made of flesh and blood. Their strength was not considered strong. They could be left to those behind them to deal with them.
Just as Hua Ruxue opened the entrance to An's mansion and was about to go in, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
The puppet standing behind the vermilion door was dressed in red, his eyes were slightly dull, and he had a black mole on the tip of his nose.
"An Murong?" Hua Ruxue called softly. The An Murong in front of her looked different from her usual arrogance, as if her order had been changed.
Hearing the call, An Murong blinked and seemed to have regained his consciousness. He stretched out his hand and destroyed the pillar behind him. The spirit stone spirit gathering array and carved beams and painted buildings that Hua Ruxue saw when he came in the morning all disappeared and were replaced by It was an illusion formation that was half broken.
Half of the place is brightly lit and warm and the breeze blows, and the other half is cold and dark and windy.
Half earth, half purgatory.
"Did you break the mystery formation outside?" The cold wind howled by, and Hua Ruxue stood opposite An Murong, seeing that An Murong had regained his self-awareness.
She never considered that An Murong would regain his self-awareness. When did he start to realize that he had become a puppet? Is it Feng Yage's death or An Muxuan's death?
Could it be that the deliberate approach and avoidance of An Murong were all to arouse her suspicion? Suggesting that there is something wrong with her An family?
An Murong's eyes only regained clarity for a moment, then fell into dullness again. He formed a seal and swung it at Hua Ruxue mercilessly.
"install
Mu Rong? "Hua Ruxue dodged the attack and called him again, but this time she didn't get any response.
Recalling that at the Li family's house, in order to get information from An Murong, she burned the fantasy incense. An Murong's expression changed. He lost his former arrogance and became extremely calm.
And at that time, he asked inexplicably: Will the peach blossoms bloom next year?
Could it be that the effect of the phantom incense can temporarily restore his sanity and get rid of control?
After thinking about it, the flowers were like snow and ignited the illusory fragrance. Under the control of spiritual power, the green smoke turned into silk threads and wrapped around An Murong's body. Soon An Murong's eyes regained some sparkle.
But when he regained consciousness, his body seemed to have lost its support and he collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Where is Sister Ning? What happened to the An family?" Hua Ruxue rushed forward to help An Murong who fell on the ground.
"The ghost refining formation, the Lord of the Underworld has reappeared in the world, go! Go!"
This sentence seemed to use up all An Murong's strength, and then the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He stretched out two fingers, grabbed Hua Ruxue's arm, and spat out intermittently:
"two two……"
"Where is Sister Ning? Beauty Courtyard?" Hua Ruxue asked eagerly. She just wanted to know where Ning Shuyan was and whether she was safe.
An Murong's eyes were lifeless, but they were staring closely at the two fingers holding her arm, as if they were conveying something.
Finally, he kept repeating three words: "Two winter solstice, two winter solstice, two winter solstice..."
"What about the Second Winter Solstice? Where is Sister Ning?"
The next moment, An Murong, who was struggling to his death, suddenly changed his eyes. The fingers on Hua Ruxue's arm clenched tightly, leaving two blood marks.
