From Master An's words, Hua Ruxue got a piece of news: Ghost Lord Chu Ming was not a fool.
Since they are not stupid ghosts, but a Ghost Lord whose cultivation level has been reduced by half and a monk whose cultivation level is equal to that of the Ghost Lord at his peak, they can coexist peacefully without having a superior-subordinate relationship. There must be some kind of deal between them.
Ghost Lord Chu Ming gave Su Zhi a benefit that only he could give in exchange for Su Zhi's help.
What are the benefits?
Hua Ruxue rubbed her forehead, feeling a little headache, but now was not the time to think about the relationship between Gui Jun and Su Zhi.
I thought that as long as I found An Muxuan's identity tag, everything would come to light, but I didn't expect that I could only see half of the second ghost's face through the identity tag.
Half of his face is covered in black lines.
Is it possible to find all the people in Guanyun City who have half their faces covered?
As soon as Hua Ruxue thought this, Second Master An clapped his hands and asked, "How about we find all the people in the An family who have half their faces covered?"
This proposal was immediately rejected by Bai Musheng and Hua Ruxue.
Bai Musheng said: "Just half a face can't prove anything. The world of monks is vast and full of wonders. If that person has eliminated the black lines on his face, not only will the search be in the wrong direction, but it will also scare the snake."
"Then what should we do?" Mr. An gently rubbed the identity tag in his hand, with a layer of gloom hanging between his brows, "If it weren't for you two, I'm afraid I wouldn't know until my death that A-Xuan also died from refining ghosts. Great formation."
Died at the hands of his dispossessed father.
"For the future stability of the An family, I will definitely try my best to find the person in the formation!"
In order to calm down Mr. An's excitement and prevent him from impulsively alarming the snake, Hua Ruxue pretended to be sure of victory and said to him: "There is still some time before the winter solstice. Don't worry, Mr. An, we will definitely be able to find the second one." Just a ghost."
Bai Musheng nodded in agreement, and when the self-refining ghost formation appeared, he realized that there were already turbulent waves under the calm surface of Guanyun City.
Looking further ahead, if the news of the ghost clan's reappearance is leaked, it will definitely break the current complete separation between the monk world and the mortal world.
For the sake of the safety of mortals, the monks spontaneously gathered together to surround the Forest of No Return, and each guarded the barrier to isolate the evil energy. From then on, the human world was divided into two, into the mortal world and the monk world.
Mortals flocked to the central city, and only those with spiritual roots would be sent to the monk world.
Mortals are weak and cannot defeat the ghost clan. At that time, there will be ambitious monks who want to go to the mortal world and be superior to thousands of people.
As far as the current situation in Guanyun City is concerned, the beast tide is coming, and half of the monks have gone to the Forest of No Return and the front lines. Except for the monks who are in retreat and still in the secret realm, there are only a few powerful guards left in the city.
If the second ghost suddenly attacks at this time and destroys the barrier that isolates the demonic energy, Guanyun City will be attacked from both sides and will have no way to retreat!
Once Guanyun City falls, the demonic energy will once again sweep across the entire monk world, and even the mortal world, and the human world will become a happy city for monsters.
"When Guanyun City was first established, it was to protect this barrier and not to repeat the tragic situation 30,000 years ago. Now Guanyun City is surrounded by dangers, internal and external troubles, and the ghost clan is still missing. We need to find a comprehensive strategy."
Bai Musheng's expression was determined. Compared with the Shijian Sect who gave birth to him and "hidden from the world", Guanyun City is his home. He has a father and brother he respects here, and a sister who needs his love. This is his home. A place that should be protected with all our strength.
Hua Ruxue was shocked by the sudden aura from Bai Musheng. She clenched her fists subconsciously and nodded enthusiastically, "Yeah! Find a perfect plan for him!"
Second Master An also nodded in agreement. Z.br>
After a brief excitement, the three of them fell into silence and began to think about who the second ghost was, where it was, and what its purpose was.
Hua Ruxue picked up the wooden box that had been placed aside and looked at it from side to side. There was a vague mezzanine at the bottom of the wooden box.
An Muwan and An Murong were the first to know that An Muxuan died in the ghost refining formation, and they must know all the arrangements of the ghost king Chu Ming.
Can An Mu Rong leave the clue of "Second Winter Solstice"? Will An Mu Wan know?
What will be left behind?
With the mentality of giving it a try, there was a "click", the mezzanine was opened, and the wooden box suddenly turned into powder in Hua Ruxue's hands.
Facing Mr. An's shocked and puzzled eyes, Hua Ruxue said apologetically, "My hands are slippery."
Unexpectedly, the wooden box would self-destruct after opening the mezzanine.
After saying that, Hua Ruxue shook her palm, and after the powder disappeared, a piece of letter paper appeared in her hand.
"This seems to be a clue left by Miss An."
Hearing the word "clue", Bai Musheng and Mr. An came over at the same time.
Hua Ruxue unfolded the letter paper, and the black and white words on it clearly recorded the process of An Muwan discovering the truth about An Muxuan's death.
However, even though Hua Ruxue has read a lot of books, she feels a little resentful about the words above.
Second Master An explained for An Muwan: "Awan has been smart since she was a child. These typos may be due to a spell."
According to Hua Ruxue’s understanding, the content on the letter is:
"Ever since Miss Feng Yage passed away suddenly, whenever she mentioned this name, Brother Rong would keep shouting like crazy, "There's a ghost, run away!" and would kick the people around him.
Everyone thought that Brother Rong had gone crazy because of the shock caused by the death of Miss Feng Yage.
Only Xuan'er and I understand that the crazy Brother Rong is the real Brother Rong. Only then will his eyes reveal his own emotions, sincerity, fear, and worry.
Later, Brother Rong told me through his madness that Feng Yage was not dead, and that Feng Yage was controlled just like him.
It was then that I realized that An's family was not safe. I was afraid that Xuan'er, who was as talented as Feng Yage but had a low level of cultivation, would be harmed, so I asked her to hide in the outer city.
Who would have thought that not long after, Xuan'er seemed to be a completely different person, actually saying "Brother Xin Yuerong" in front of her father.
In anger, his father agreed to Tian Weimo's marriage proposal, hoping to put an end to Xuan'er's ridiculous idea.
I knew that this was not Xuan'er's original intention, but Brother Rong was punished by the head of the family at that time. I couldn't get anything useful out of him, so I could only watch the wedding approaching.
I originally planned to take Xuan'er away from Guanyun City on my wedding day, but Brother Rong took Xuan'er away before me. I searched all the way and finally found the unconscious Brother Rong outside Guanyun City, as well as the identity tag in his hand that belonged to Xuan'er.
The wooden sign that broke into two parts marked Xuan'er's death.
But there was something wrong with Miss Feng Yage, so I didn't believe that cold wooden sign. I didn't believe that Xuan'er died like that. She is not someone who is obsessed with the love between her children. She cherishes her life more than anyone else, and there is no way she would choose to kill herself or give up her life for the sake of so-called love.
I wanted to know Xuan'er's situation from Brother Rong, but from that day on, whenever I mentioned the matter of Miss Feng Yage, Brother Rong was no longer as crazy as before. The light in his eyes gradually disappeared and he became silent. .
A month later, late one night, Brother Rong suddenly rushed to me and handed me a wooden sign, telling me to leave Anjia quickly.
That wooden sign was Xuan'er's identity card. The identity card completely recorded the scene of Xuan'er and Feng Yage being swallowed up and disappeared by the will-o'-the-wisp.
The person who set up this formation was none other than An Yueming, the head of the An family, the "grandfather" who always loved Brother Rong the most.
"An Yueming" wanted to use the ghost refining array to bring the Lord of the Underworld back to the world. In order to ensure that the ghost refining array could successfully transform monks into ghosts, he used An's power to secretly collect sacrifices and conduct the first test. .
This is a conspiracy that has been laid out for a long time. The success of the ghost refining formation heralds that another 124 people will be sacrificed. Knowing this secret, I am the next target of "An Yueming".
After the success of the ghost refining formation, "An Yueming's" cultivation level was greatly reduced, and Brother Rong finally waited until "An Yueming" retreated. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to hand over Xuan'er's real identity card to me and let me leave Guanyun City, but he thought that as soon as Brother Rong took me out of An Mansion, someone blocked our way.
The man wore a mask and only showed half of his face covered with black lines. He knocked Brother Rong and I down with just one move.
Although his monk is in the Nascent Soul stage, his strength is no less than that of the Mahayana monks.
In this way, the plan to leave Guanyun City ended in failure before it even started.
Although "An Yueming" is not here, he has controlled the monk who turned into a ghost. With that ghost around, Brother Rong's waking time is getting less and less, and I am restricted by the magic and cannot tell anything about the ghost. News about the clan and the ghost refining formation.
I don't know how to pass this news on to others. I can only warn everyone who is close to Brother Rong to stay away from An Murong and stay away from the Beauty Courtyard.
Seeing Brother Rong approaching Li Zhizhi, the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, step by step, there are only two left of the one hundred and twenty-four single spiritual root monks, and the time of death is gradually approaching.
I knew that I could not escape from Guanyun City, but I was also worried that the ghost clan was deliberately concealing their whereabouts and blaming the death of Li Zangzhi and others on the owner of the house and on the An family.
Therefore, he deliberately stored his identity card with Xuan'er's, and left this note as a testimony until the day the truth came out.
The head of the family has lived for several years. The disasters caused by the An family and the disasters in Guanyun City all originated from the ghost clan. How innocent are the people of the An clan! "
"Awan."
After Second Master An read the message left by An Muwan, he burst into tears and was choked with sobs that he could hardly speak. "The relics left by An Muwan were actually used to prove An's innocence..."
Bai Musheng comforted him and said, "Gui Jun's plan for the ghost refining formation has been exposed. Those who are pure in An's family will be pure on their own, and there is no need to prove themselves."
What happened to the An family, if Hua Ruxue and Li Chu hadn't found them in time, the ghost refining formation and the ghost clan would still be hiding in the shadows, and An Muwan's worries were justified.
If in the end, the ghost king's conspiracy is not discovered, and Li Chu pursues him, the deaths of the 124 monks in the formation will be attributed to An Yueming, and the An family will definitely suffer a lot from Guanyun City. Scorned and despised by all the monks.
