Hearing this, Gao Tianshi was overjoyed and said: "That's right, it's too cheap for those thieves to leave like this, and it also weakens your old reputation, isn't it?"
Wu Zhiqi ignored him and just pinched his beard and sneered a few times, not knowing what he had in mind.
He got up and walked a few steps in the room. He leaned over and pulled open a square tile on the ground. A square hole had been dug out underneath. At the bottom was a black stone slab soaked with blood stains. On it were seven coarse porcelain lamps. lecythus.
"Master Gao, prick the tip of your left ring finger and put a drop on each 'Wuxin Soul Bottle', quick!"
Gao Tianshi was a little panicked. This old man was very good at witchcraft. He could use the blood of strangers as a guide at every turn, and could even use blood sacrifices to arrest people's souls... Thinking of this, Gao Lao couldn't help but take half a step back, and almost bumped into the table to offer sacrifices. The statue with an unclear face... I don't know if it is made of dried skeletons.
"Why, you can't bear to part with a few drops of blood?" The old man said with a sinister smile, "Don't worry, it's just an introduction, it's okay."
Although Gao Tianshi was extremely frightened, he had no choice but to obey, not to mention that he had already boarded this pirate ship, and it would be impossible if he didn't go all the way to the dark side. No matter what, give it a go! Gao Tianshi was cruel, took the seven golden three-edged needles handed over by the wizard, pricked a little on the tip of his left ring finger, then squeezed out a drop of blood, and slowly dripped it into the lamp. It looked scary. porcelain vase.
The wizard kept reminding: "Change the needle! A needle can only prick once!"
His trembling right hand finally squeezed out seven drops of blood, and Gao Tianshi felt that his soul had been drained out.
"Hey, okay, let's find a place to sit first. You may feel a little dizzy after a while."
"Master, you..."
"I'm just borrowing your blood as a primer, it'll be fine." The wizard said, using a knife to cut a small wound on the tip of his left ring finger, and also dropped a drop of each into the porcelain bottle, and then inserted seven golden needles into the "Wuxin Soul Vial" "Next to. Then reset the square tiles.
"this……"
"Once this formation is completed, it will be impossible for Liu Fuyin to survive." Master Wu said, "It's just that this formation still lacks a fierce ghost with a lot of resentment to serve as the formation's eye!"
This dry sound only made Mr. Gao tremble, thinking that a terrible ghost is right in front of him! Now even if all the evil ghosts in Guangzhou jumped out, they wouldn't scare him as much as this wizard.
Wu Zhiqi said: "I also want a girl to be the formation eye. Find her quickly and send it to my new place outside the city!" As he said this, he took out a page of yellow paper and wrote a few lines on it. Words, "Find according to the birth date and age! As soon as possible!"
Now Gao Tianshi was in trouble. The Maojia Inn has killed dozens of people in recent days, but the sources of these "souls" are all supplied by Fu Wen and the "shooting flowers" gang, and the Guandi Temple people themselves have not handled them. Now that Fu Wen and the others have been wiped out, Gao Tianshi has to use his own power to find another "life soul".
Getting a girl was nothing to Gao Tianshi, but it was obvious what the girl was doing. Once she got involved, it would be solid and ironclad evidence. Gao Tianshi trembled all over when he thought of this.
However, he did not dare to say no, so he had to agree.
It is not difficult for the Guandi Temple troops to send someone out of the city. Although the Australians have sentries at the city gate to check, they are not very strict. Gao Tianshi changed Wu Zhiqi's appearance and became an ordinary old beggar, and asked a few beggars to escort him out of the city.
For the time being, the new place is in a dilapidated temple outside the North Gate. There are many righteous villages here, and no one wants to come. The police's control over security outside the Dabei Gate is also very weak. The Guandi Temple troops have a strong presence here, so it is quite safe for Wu Zhiqi to be placed here.
"Don't you like to torment the ghosts of the dead the most? They are everywhere here!" Gao Tianshi cursed secretly.
Even if you scold him, you have to be careful with this wizard. Even though he is as old as a withered bone, he enjoys a good life. Not only is he very particular about his diet, but he also has to give him food every few days. Get a woman to do the "furnace" practice. Just because of this woman's affairs made Gao Tianshi feel dizzy. Fortunately, his requirements for this "furnace" were not high. He didn't talk about birth dates, zodiac signs, fortunes, etc. As long as he was young and beautiful, it would be fine - if he was coquettish. Charming middle-aged people can also make do with it.
In the city government, now that the matter had been basically clarified and it was known that Liu Xiang was fine, all the elders dispersed - they had many things going on. Mu Min asked Wu Mu and Cui Hantang to go back to the task force to study the case.
Let me ask Cui Hantang to explain. In the end, we still need to understand who the opponent is and what he wants to do in such a big scene. Liu Xiang's incident was just incidental in the final analysis.
In the meeting room of the task force with the curtains tightly drawn, the picture board was filled with photos taken at the scene. Because there were so many photos, some of the photos of the evidence found at the scene were made into a separate album. Although the black-and-white photos don't give the feeling of dripping blood, the horrifying picture is still full of shock. Cui Hantang endured the nausea and discomfort and studied it carefully, then looked at the floor plan drawn on the scene, and finally nodded.
"How's it going? Do you see what's going on?"
"This case is really complicated." Cui Hantang raised his head from the floor plan, "One word is 'chaos'!"
"Oh? What a mess." Mu Min asked
"Judging from the signs found, there are both Taoism and various witchcraft and sorcery here. It's hard to say the purpose of the Maojia Inn. It feels like a magic factory."
Cui Hantang pointed to the photo: "Generally speaking, Maojia Inn is probably doing several things at the same time. One is collecting raw materials - the so-called 'refining souls' - those gourds containing corpse pills you found; The second is to engage in some kind of evil ritual, and there is more than one kind of evil ritual; the last is to combine the big medicine."
"No wonder we killed so many people!" Mu Min secretly shuddered. She had seen cases of perverted serial murders, but for these "ethereal" "spells", killing and torturing so many creatures was worse than a simple perverted murderer. It makes people tremble at the dark side of human nature.
"What is the purpose of refining souls?" Mu Min asked, "And what is the purpose of the evil rituals?"
"Refining souls is mostly for sorcery rituals. I took a look at the photos, and there are some artifacts in them that should be used to set up formations. They probably require souls to be used in formations." Cui Hantang pondered for a long time and said, "To be honest, , I don’t quite understand the tricks inside. They are not using the orthodox Maoshan technique. It is not only complicated in origin, but also a mixture of different techniques. But one thing I can be sure of is that they are working on at least three or four formations, one of which is modified. Destiny is about it.”
"Change your destiny?" Mu Min found it more and more unbelievable. Although as he got older, he would inevitably have to "ignore" the issue of "fate" - not to mention, if his father-in-law hadn't insisted on going to Hainan to "revisit his old place" "How did my family come to this time and space?"
But this thing is mysterious after all, not to mention that it needs to be "changed".
"Yes, some people have believed this since ancient times," Cui Hantang said with a solemn expression, "That's why they act so randomly and kill so many people..."
"It has nothing to do with us whether he changed his life," Mu Min said. "Why did he kill so many people?"
"Yes, the so-called changing one's destiny against the will of heaven is originally detrimental to the way of heaven. Serious Taoist people would not do such a thing," Cui Hantang said. "It is understandable that these people would practice evil arts. I just feel strange, why? Are you going to come to Guangzhou to do this?"
"I think it's because this is an 'enemy-occupied area.'" Mu Min said, "Guangzhou has just been liberated. According to general rules, it is a stage of social chaos - and this is exactly the case. Even if they are discovered when they do it here, It doesn’t matter. But they definitely won’t just do this.”
"That's right, changing lives and combining great medicines are not the main thing. They are mainly aimed at us." Cui Hantang said, "Although I can't see the specific names of their formations, but the contents are generally like spells. It’s just that they want the senators to die miserably and the Senate to fall quickly. In addition, judging from the fact that there are maps, compasses and other things in the inn, they are probably still tinkering with some Feng Shui things."
"Feng shui?" Mu Min was puzzled. "We don't build houses now." She shook her head, "Killing so many people and doing such illusory things. It's incredible!"
"Even in Tibet in the 1950s, didn't some lamas still hold secret rituals to kill people? They also specially prepared human blood, human oil and dough, and made large pies containing human heads and human entrails as sacrifices? "
Mu Min didn't speak. She just felt that this topic was very heavy. She suddenly thought of something, "So, the person behind them is not an ordinary person?"
"Exactly." Cui Hantang nodded, "Let's not talk about other things. Changing one's fate against the will of heaven will lead to divine punishment: at least a loss of life, and at worst a sudden death - don't look at the deception that magicians usually do, but it does not mean that They themselves don’t believe in ghosts and gods—if the person involved doesn’t have considerable power and financial resources, I’m afraid no one will be willing to do it.”
Mu Min dialed the numbers and fell into deep thought. At this time, the police knocked on the door and came in, delivering a new report.
She took it, looked at it, and handed it to Cui Hantang.
This is a verification letter sent to the General Office. Seven or eight pieces of talisman paper with different birth dates and eight characters were found in the Maojia Inn. After Cui Hantang arrived, he suggested that the birthdays and horoscopes on these talismans should be telegraphed to Lingao, and the general office would check whether they belonged to the elders.
Now the results are out, one of them does belong to Liu Xiang.
"It seems that there is indeed a mole around him." Mu Min said.
At this point, it was almost said that Guo Xier was a traitor.
"To be honest, I don't really believe that Guo Xi'er is a traitor." Wu Mu, who had been silent, said.
"I didn't expect that Director Wu is also a compassionate person..." (To be continued.)
