Yan Qing already had a strong affinity for metals, and he had already started making weapons. Lin Du, who could draw drawings and explain things on the spot, made rapid progress.
Xia Tian Wu and Ni Jinxuan were already standing outside the courtyard gate, always alert to the flying ghost-faced bats.
Two people tinkered with a weird little jammer in front of everyone.
A swarm of bats was approaching outside the door, while two people inside were still squatting on the ground tinkering with something inexplicable.
Ni Jinxuan opened her eyes wide, watching as if a thick rolling dark cloud was coming over her, flying very low, densely packed, and making tiny vibration sounds.
The so-called ghost-faced bat is because when viewed from the front, its face looks like a ferocious evil ghost, and its tumbling wings are like a muddy black sea, glowing with a strange sheen.
Ni Jinxuan subconsciously felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if the air had become muddy, thick and black.
Xia Tian Wu instinctively wanted to use fire, but after thinking of Lin Du's instructions, he still pulled out the soft sword at his waist.
Ni Jinxuan whipped her whip, and the bat that had approached the yard was thrown out heavily.
The whip made a crisp sound in the air, and then exploded into a mist of blood.
But this was far from stopping the arrival of the large swarm of ghost-faced bats. Just when they were about to cover the courtyard like a huge black tile, the bat swarm suddenly changed its direction strangely, and the group was in chaos for a moment. Scattered, collided with each other, turned around.
The sound of flapping wings in the air turned into the sound of friction and collision, and Shengsheng restrained the first batch of bats that were about to climb over the wall halfway.
Lin Du straightened up and rubbed his stiff and sore neck, "Yuan Ye is here to watch. The others will go out with me to look for clues. If anything happens, let us know in time. We will be back in time."
Yuan Ye was a little scared, but he had to obey the orders of his junior uncle. He simply took out his erhu and sat on the coffin board.
Yan Qing patted Yuan Ye on the shoulder before leaving, "Brother, don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of. You have to believe in yourself. This is the coffin you nailed with your own hands."
Yuan Ye grimaced, "I don't believe that I nailed it myself!"
Yan Qing:......
He silently pulled out the knife on his back, "Then you press the coffin board well, the flesh will not grow in vain, and the rice will not be eaten in vain."
Lin Du had already walked to the courtyard opposite. When she opened the door, she was greeted by ashes. Fortunately, she had been prepared. As soon as she covered her mouth and nose with a gauze scarf, she would not love anyone.
It just looks a bit like a bandit, but has no other side effects.
Ni Jinxuan followed suit. This courtyard had been vacant for a long time, so Lin Du simply released his consciousness and explored the entire city carefully.
This is indeed an empty city, without a single living person. There are many courtyards like this small courtyard, which have been abandoned for a long time and accumulated countless dust.
But there are also a few strange mansions with obvious barriers that prevent exploration of the interior, indicating that there is still energy inside.
Lin Du glanced at the three of them. Formation is one of the most difficult skills for monks to learn. Since monks have so much to learn, it is difficult to take it all into consideration. Therefore, at their age, they don’t know much about formations, so they decided to go together. Good.
She was like an old hen with her young, followed by three little chicks, running as fast as possible in the direction of the abnormality.
Several people followed Lin Du's footsteps, and they dared to walk the same path. They didn't dare to take a step off, lest they affect something they shouldn't provoke.
The courtyard this time is larger than the previous one. The original one was just a courtyard. There are already stone lions at the door. It is obviously a family with status.
Lin Du reached out and pushed open the door, but strangely he didn't feel any yin energy.
Several people entered the door one after another, and the vastness and splendor of the original mansion could still be seen from the mottled glazed tiles, blue brick floors and carved beams and painted pillars.
It's just that the vegetation in the garden is no longer lush. There is only a dead flower and tree that turns into plaster at the slightest touch. It has obviously been dried for a long time.
Xia Tianwu frowned, "These plants and trees... seem to have been drained of their vitality."
According to the laws of nature, no matter how isolated the city is, it will gradually become wild after people leave. Even in the Gobi Desert, where the ruins of the ancient city remain, there are still tenacious weeds growing.
But this place is an absolute dead city.
Judging from the soil, this place is not considered a desert, nor is it a barren land.
"Another coffin." Lin Du's voice was calm.
But this is not an iron coffin, it is a very ordinary black coffin. Because it has been so long, the paint on it has been mottled and cracked, but there is a talisman on the coffin board. After many years, it is still as new as ever.
Lin Du stood in front of the coffin in the main room for a while.
"Uncle Junior, are there any evil spirits in this place? Should we be more careful?"
Lin Du shook his head, "No, there are no evil spirits."
Not only are there no evil spirits, there are even no grievances and yin energy.
She took out a compass, walked around the main courtyard for a while, and then took out a grass.
"Uncle Junior, are you digging a hole again?"
Lin Du said nothing, and the speed of digging was getting faster and faster. Lin Du was no longer familiar with digging, and soon there was a clang, and Lei Chu's head collided with something.
Xia Tian has no eyesight, "Is that... Tongmei?"
"It's Tongmei. Thousands of people have touched the spiritual stone from Tongzimei."
Lin Du dug faster and faster, and dug out a total of seventeen Tongmei. These seventeen Tongmei just formed a small seven levels on the ground.
She lowered her eyes for a while, then turned to look at the coffin, "Soul Sealing Array."
Compared to the formation in the yard just now, this formation is more punitive.
It is equivalent to trapping the resentful soul in it, and it will never come out.
Lin Du supported Lei Chu, as if he was making a decision. He rarely smiled, and frowned slightly, lowering his eyebrows.
"Uncle... I just walked around the entire mansion, and there is almost no... family property left. Even the bookshelves are empty. It seems like they have moved, and only a shell is left."
Xia Tianwu and Ni Jinxuan have looked through the entire mansion and found no clues.
"Not only this mansion, but other courtyards are like this, only the shell is left." Lin Du was still deep in thought, speaking without any tone.
"How are we going to find out the secret of this ancient city?" Ni Jinxuan also frowned, "Isn't this embarrassing? You can't get tens of thousands of points in this level?"
"The lack of evidence is the biggest evidence." Lin Du raised his head, "This already shows that the people in this city migrated collectively on a large scale. It can even be said that they abandoned the city uniformly."
Ni Jinxuan followed this line of thinking, "Large-scale migrations are very rare. In addition, this city no longer has any spiritual energy. Maybe it is spiritual energy exhausted? And it cannot be a natural disaster. If there is a natural disaster, the house cannot be intact."
Lin Du nodded, "This reminds me of a record in history of the migration of an entire city."
She looked at Yan Qing, who nodded, "Yes, but that should have happened more than a thousand years ago."
Two thousand years ago, there was a town named Liyang. It was a border town, but it was still prosperous. There were many trade exchanges, and the town was relatively wealthy. However, overnight, it became an isolated city.
There have been records in the anecdotal records of the world of cultivation, saying that this is one of the ten unsolved mysteries in the past thousand years.
"What do you mean, little uncle?"
"It would be interesting if this was really Liyang Town, or a one-to-one reproduction." Lin Du looked at the huge black coffin.
"I was thinking just now that the evil souls who were wronged should use such a cruel soul-sealing formation to prevent them from being reincarnated when they are about to stop."
Lin Du rubbed his hands, "I kind of... want to open the coffin."
The four of them looked at each other, "How about... open the coffin?"
"What if the resentment is still there and the ghost returns to the body?"
"Then..." Yan Qing also rubbed his hands, "beat him?"
"Beat him!" Ni Jinxuan raised her whip.
Lin Du looked at the three people in front of him with emotion. Since when have the disciples of the Supreme Sect been so reckless?
A bunch of reckless men, it seemed like she had to tie them up.
She held the fan, walked up to the three of them, and hit Yan Qing on the head, "Reckless fellow! Reckless fellow! You too...reckless fellow!"
Yan Qing's eyes widened, "Little uncle! Why did you only hit me on the head, and the two of them?"
Lin Du walked into the main room with his hands behind his back, "Jinxuan won't be able to grow taller if she knocks her head."
"No, what about Second Senior Sister!"
"You dare to knock her?"
"..." Yan Qing silently hugged his knife, "Hey."
If Yuan Ye was here, he could go through it with him.
