Qin Shu followed the housekeeper and attracted a lot of attention.
Everyone looked at him as if he were a stranger, and then looked away.
Qin Shu followed the housekeeper all the way to the cellar and saw several coffins on the ground.
Qin Shu paused and looked at the housekeeper in confusion, and then heard the housekeeper explain: "The city lord brought back all the corpses that died suddenly and were unclaimed. We asked the policeman to check several times, but they didn't find it. Nothing unusual, if nothing more fishy can be found, they should be buried next month."
Qin Shu nodded slightly and felt a little strange, "Songyi's family didn't come to claim him?"
The housekeeper shook his head, "No, I heard that although his family has declined, there are still a few members. For some reason, the news of his death has spread, but no one has come to claim him."
Qin Shu nodded briefly and asked, "Where is he?"
The housekeeper led her to the innermost part of the cellar and stopped in front of a dark coffin.
"It's right here."
Qin Shu stopped, feeling something was wrong.
She has never had any problems with her "Du'e Technique", and now the Du'e Technique is running slowly, not as if there is any great danger, but as if it is reminding her.
Although there were coffins all around, it still felt different from the Maoshan Jiang family, but it made her somewhat familiar.
Qin Shu touched her chin and fell into deep thought. What on earth is this familiar feeling?
The housekeeper on the side saw that Qin Shu beside him suddenly became silent. He glanced at her with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Fellow Daoist Qin?"
Qin Shu came back to her senses when she heard his voice, looked at the housekeeper, and smiled, "Nothing, can I open the coffin and take a look?"
The housekeeper nodded, raised his hand and cast a spell.
The ice-blue water aura on the black coffin faded little by little, and the protective shield attached to it was also untied.
With a wave of the steward's sleeves, the heavy coffin lid was lifted, and the person lying in the coffin appeared in front of them.
His face didn't look pained, which showed that the attack was very fast and swift, and it didn't cause him much pain.
He just seemed to have lost a lot of blood and his face looked a little blue.
Further down, you can see a huge wound on his chest. The shape of the wound does not look like a sharp weapon, but rather...
hand?
It was as if someone had penetrated his chest with their bare hands and taken out his heart.
Although he knew that the alchemist's body was relatively weak, his heart was taken out before he even had time to react. How much higher was that person's cultivation level than him?
Seeing that Qin Shu was looking at her carefully, the housekeeper didn't bother him and just kept waiting quietly.
But Qin Shu couldn't see anything with her naked eyes, so she raised her hand and applied a burst of spiritual energy without giving up.
The spiritual energy was traced along his meridians bit by bit, and now Song Yi was like an empty shell, with only the remaining spiritual energy left in his body, which was still slowly dissipating.
hiss--
He actually noticed a trace of demonic energy in his chest.
But this demonic energy is not pure, and it is different from the demons I met on the other side of the dividing line between immortals and demons. The demonic energy used by those demonic energies is very pure, and these demonic energies seem to be mixed with some spiritual energy.
It was as if...a certain monk infected with demonic energy had taken action.
Qin Shu's brows frowned slightly, and her eyes gradually became serious.
Seeing her retracting her hand, the housekeeper quickly asked, "How? Did you see anything?"
Qin Shu turned around and was about to speak when her eyes fell on the ray of light coming from the cellar door.
The dust flew and danced in that ray of sunshine, slowly falling to the ground.
And in this cellar, a thin layer of dust has actually fallen.
Qin Shu didn't say anything, she just raised her hand and performed a cleaning technique.
There seemed to be nothing unusual on the ground. The housekeeper frowned, looked at Qin Shu doubtfully, and asked, "What's wrong? No one has visited this cellar for a long time, so some dust has fallen..."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shu raised her hand to take out an elixir, crushed it directly, and raised it casually. The powder of the elixir fell on the ground, and blue-green lines appeared in their field of vision.
The housekeeper's eyes suddenly widened, "What...what's going on?"
He has been a housekeeper in the city lord's mansion for hundreds of years, how come he still doesn't know that there is such a formation in the cellar?
Although Qin Shu's face was ugly, she obviously saw something.
What is scary is not the known formations, but the unknown.
Qin Shu took back her hand and said, "I have seen this formation before in the mortal world."
The housekeeper was stunned, "What kind of formation is this?"
"To be precise, they are sacrificed by the power of flesh and blood. Although there are not many people here, these monks are so advanced that one person is worth a group of mortals." Qin Shu explained.
"Sacrifice?" The butler's expression also became serious. In his impression, anything related to sacrifice was evil.
"Did we encounter an evil cultivator?" the housekeeper asked again.
Qin Shu shook her head slightly, "I'm afraid it's even more difficult than this."
"What is that?" the steward asked.
Qin Shu did not answer his words, but raised her hand to cast a magic spell, which landed on Song Yi.
Song Yi, who was originally lying in the coffin, slowly floated in the air, and Qin Shu's consciousness swept across the coffin.
"Sure enough... there wasn't a drop of blood."
The housekeeper was shocked when he heard this and quickly looked at the other coffins here.
"Then these..."
Qin Shu sighed, saying nothing.
"Open it and take a look."
The housekeeper opened a coffin to check and found that there was no blood either inside the monk's body or in the coffin.
Not giving up, he checked the other coffins one by one.
"How...how could this happen?" The butler's face looked extremely ugly.
Qin Shu stood next to him. Hearing this, she raised her hand and patted his shoulder gently, "Senior, someone must have sneaked into your city lord's mansion."
"How is this possible? The servants of our City Lord's Mansion have all been serving in the Mansion since the old City Lord, and their descendants were all born in the City Lord's Mansion. They are completely trustworthy."
Qin Shu shook her head, "They are not necessarily servants of the mansion. Don't forget... the city lord has been kind enough to take in many people these days..."
The housekeeper thought of countermeasures in his mind, and did not forget to ask Qin Shu, "What should we do now? Can this formation be destroyed?"
Qin Shu shook her head, "The safest way is to move these coffins first."
The housekeeper thought the same thing. Wherever you put it, it might be designed again.
Now the sacrifice is only blood, the body and some spiritual power are still there. If they are all sacrificed, there is no telling how much trouble it will cause for their city lord's mansion.
