"What did he just say?" Li Chu pulled away, slapped An Murong against the wall, and asked worriedly.
Hua Ruxue said exactly what she could understand: "The ghost refining formation, the Lord of the Underworld has reappeared in the world."
Her voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, and could be heard by the people fighting outside the door, which aroused a lot of discussion.
"After the underworld is sealed, no one can turn into a ghost. What is the ghost refining formation?"
"The underworld is gone, so why does the Lord of the Underworld reappear in the world? It's really ridiculous!"
Su Yi quickly eliminated the puppets in front of him and stepped forward. He firmly believed in Hua Ruxue's words, "When the underworld was sealed, the Lord of the Underworld entered reincarnation and was no longer in the underworld."
In other words, when the underworld was destroyed, the Lord of the Underworld was still a mortal. After the destruction of the underworld, humans are not allowed to turn into ghosts, and the Lord of the Underworld can only reincarnate as a human being.
Therefore, An Murong's statement, "In the great ghost refining formation, the Lord of the Underworld reappears in the world," it is not impossible.
From the time An Yueming came out of seclusion, Yang Ling was taken away, Ning Shuyan and Li Zangzhi disappeared, to the discovery that An Murong had been made into a puppet, things developed beyond Hua Ruxue's expectation and became more and more difficult.
"Where is the formation cloth?" Bai Musheng asked. His figure seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and the blood on his face slowly faded.
Hua Ruxue turned around and saw that An Murong's injuries had recovered again. His eyes were dull and lifeless, and it seemed that he could no longer regain his consciousness.
"It seems that I can't ask anything. Time is tight. Young Master Li and I will follow the compass to find Sister Ning and Young Master Li San."
After confirming that Ning Shuyan was in An's family according to the instructions of the compass, she still couldn't figure out why the ghosts of the An family took Ning Shuyan away. Now she has some clues. It was because of the ghost refining formation.
The obstacles encountered in the previous search for Ning Shuyan were all for the purpose of the ghost refining formation.
There was a 99% chance that the ghost refining formation An Murong mentioned was with Li Changzhi and Ning Shuyan, but seeing that Bai Musheng's spiritual power was unstable, Hua Ruxue wanted him to leave first.
She didn't want to fail to save someone, but get another one in instead.
Bai Musheng knew that entering the unknown An family in his current state would be a drag, so he handed the compass to Li Chu and said to several people: "Then I will go to other places to investigate. If I find the formation, the fireworks will be Signal."
The group of people was divided into three teams. Li Buyu and others stayed behind to continue dealing with the puppets guarding the door. Bai Musheng led people to investigate and respond in the outer courtyard. Hua Ruxue, Su Yi, Li Chu and others followed the compass into the backyard to search for people. .
The compass pointed to the location of the Beauty Courtyard. Even before they got close to the Beauty Courtyard, they could feel the raging wind. Several people stopped in front of the arch, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in an invisible barrier.
Li Chu, Su Yi and others gathered their spiritual power and planned to forcefully break the barrier.
Hua Ruxue punched the barrier and tried to force it down, but found that her fist was like hitting cotton and had no effect on the barrier.
She looked at the barrier in front of her and had the illusion that it was a special barrier cast to restrain "Hundred Refinements".
There were Mahayana monks among the group. Hua Ruxue knew that her spiritual power was low, so she protected them from the side.
Strangely enough, a group of them broke into the An family in great force, and no one in the An family except An Murong, who was refined into a puppet, came out to stop them.
The Second Master An, An Muwan and others whom I met today have not shown up yet and seem to have disappeared.
Just as he was thinking about it, not far away, Second Master An rushed over anxiously with the An family guards.
"Master Li, what are you doing?"
The cold wind was blowing, and the chill was biting. Cold sweat broke out on Mr. An's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "The master of the house has told me that if that kid hurts a hair, he will have to ask for my fault. If you have a grudge in your heart, why not take him away privately?" Clean it up? Isn’t it inappropriate for you to just come to the door and rob me?"
Having said that, Mr. An didn't have any intention to stop him. He looked at the Beauty Courtyard with a bit of anger, as if to say: This is very appropriate, kill that boy An Murong quickly!
After listening to Mr. An's words, Hua Ruxue could only confirm that Mr. An had no knowledge about the puppet master and the ghost refining formation.
"Second Master An is quite forgiving.
An Murong has been dead for several years, and what you see now is just a puppet. The puppet master is in the Beauty Courtyard. The second master doesn't want to know who did it? "
Hua Ruxue stood in front of Li Zhang and others to negotiate with Mr. An. The incident happened in the An family. Although these people had no idea about it, they couldn't justify not helping since they were here.
Li Chu called out to An's family at the right moment to come over and help, "Don't be stupid, come and help!"
When it was mentioned that An Murong had been dead for several years, Mr. An's eyes changed. He hesitated for a moment and then led the An family to join the team that forcibly demolished the barrier.
In just one stick of incense, the monks with lower cultivation levels were exhausted. Someone from the An family wondered: "What kind of barrier is this? Where do the things inside come from?"
"That is to say, what is a puppet? Although the master has been hoping for something bad to happen to that person, but talking about a puppet, isn't it a bit..."
The people of the Li family heard about the puppet master and the ghost refining formation. At this moment, their hearts sank and their expressions were solemn.
Li Chu frowned. Originally, he was dubious about the existence of ghosts and puppet masters. He thought the ghost refining formation was a fantasy, but now that he saw this barrier, he had to believe it.
The person who put up this barrier has absolute strength. Fighting alone, they have no chance of winning.
Second Master An ignored the whispers of those people. He had been trained as the heir of the family and had heard about puppets and puppet masters. It was the secret technique of the ghost clan.
The people in the Beauty Courtyard are ghosts!
There is actually a ghost clan in the An family!
Second Master An felt ashamed and said: "I have been busy dealing with An Murong these years, but I didn't notice it at all. No, it's not that I didn't notice it. I knew that I succeeded many times in the hundreds of attempts to assassinate An Murong. But I never doubted that An Murong had a problem. I attribute all this to the family head's partiality. He was blinded by hatred and jealousy, so he ignored such an abnormal thing."
Hua Ruxue felt confused when she heard this. Kuifang only assassinated An Murong ten times before he was keenly aware that there was something wrong with An Murong.
Mr. An has assassinated An Murong hundreds of times over the years. With his vigilance as a superior and his knowledge of magic weapons or secret techniques, he has never doubted An Murong.
As time passed, the stronger this barrier became, the more credible the "Ghost Refining Formation" mentioned by An Murong became, and the hearts of everyone became heavier.
"How long will it take for the barrier to be broken? I wonder if Sister Ning and Master Li San are okay." Hua Ruxue asked. As the long wait continued, she gradually became anxious.
She wished she could break this barrier with one punch, but she had no use for all her strength.
Even if she uses her spiritual power now, her cultivation in the out-of-body stage can only last for a quarter of an hour at most. What's more, once she uses her spiritual power, there will be a backlash, which will make her unable to move and become a burden.
She could only wait on the sidelines and hope that Li Chu and others would break the barrier quickly.
"A quarter of an hour." After speaking, Li Chu saw that Su Yi was seriously overdrafted, so he asked him: "Did Master Sword Immortal ever tell you how to break the ghost refining formation, and what are the weaknesses of the puppet master?"
Su Yi stopped when he heard this and said slowly: "The ghost refining formation can turn the souls of the people in the formation into ghosts. Thirty thousand years ago, it was common for people to transform into ghosts after death. There is no need for the ghost refining formation. This formation is often used by ghosts. The tribe uses it to improve their realm, and one party helps the person in the group improve their realm at the cost of half or all of their cultivation base."
After saying that, Su Yi sat tiredly and adjusted his breathing.
After knowing the exact news, the other people's faces showed a hint of joy that they hadn't seen in a long time. "So, the reason why the person inside set up all the obstacles is because he has to devote at least half of his cultivation?"
If the opponent is in its prime, they may not be able to defeat them, but if they are half the enemy, they still have the strength to fight!
When Hua Ruxue heard this, she was not as happy as them, but instead became more cautious.
Previously, because of the puppet master and the anomalies in Li Zangzhi's body, she mistakenly believed that Li Zangzhi was the material for refining puppets.
Now that I think about it, the purpose of the puppet master is not to refine puppets, but to refine the ghost formation.
He wanted Chu Tang, the Lord of the Underworld, to shed his body and become a ghost again.
The composition of the ghost refining formation in the Beauty Academy is: the reincarnation of Chu Tang, Lord of the Underworld, and the sacrifices.
Those singles who were brought back to An Murong's home
The spiritual root monk is a sacrifice, a good sacrifice.
Yang Ling and Ning Shuyan both had single spiritual roots, especially Ning Shuyan, who had top-grade water spiritual roots. So both of them were taken into the House of Beauty.
But Li Zhizhi's situation is obviously different. Yang Ling and Ning Shuyan have been missing to this day. No one from the Ning family in Dongyang has come to find Ning Shuyan, and there is no power behind Yang Ling.
On the other hand, on Li Zangzhi's side, Li Chu found the city lord's mansion only half an hour after losing contact.
Li Changzhi is not the only monk with high-grade single spiritual roots in Guanyun City. The puppet master knew that taking people away would cause a lot of trouble, but like today, it attracted the Li family and the city lord's mansion to come to their door, but he still did it. Chinese website
It can only mean that Li Zangzhi is an essential step in his plan!
Thinking of this, Hua Ruxue speculated: Li Changzhi's body contains the soul of Chu Tang, Lord of the Underworld!
Refining a puppet requires four steps: sealing the soul, refining the body, taking the soul, and finally sealing thousands of threads into the puppet to replace the soul.
Sealing the soul is to ensure that the soul is not damaged. The most important thing for the ghost clan is the soul. Therefore, those who possess the soul of Chu and Tang will definitely be sealed!
Li Zhizhi was mysteriously poisoned with the poison of the underworld while forming the elixir. The person who poisoned her was the puppet master.
His purpose in doing this was to destroy Li Zangzhi first and then treat him, thereby slowly controlling Li Zangzhi.
If he directly sealed the soul of Li Zangzhi, who was regarded as a pearl by the Li family at the time, like he did with others, Li Zangzhi's sudden change in temperament would definitely arouse Li family's suspicion.
But if Li Changzhi's temperament suddenly changed after a trip to Hell's Gate, and after recovering from a serious illness, everything would become reasonable.
After thinking about it, Hua Ruxue looked up at Li Chu who was still working hard to input spiritual power to break the barrier. If he knew that his younger brother was Chu Tang, the Lord of the Underworld, and was being noticed early on, how would he react?
When a monk dies, his soul is extinguished, so if Li Changzhi dies, the soul of Chu Tang, the Lord of the Underworld, will be gone.
If they save the people inside, will they kill Li Zangzhi once and for all in order to prevent other remaining ghost clans from trying to bring back the Lord of Hades like they did today?
