On New Year's Eve in the thirty-second year of Kangwu's reign, the fireworks did not go off, but the death knell of the emperor rang. The people who were still having the New Year's Eve dinner were stunned for a moment, looking at each other with panic on their faces.
The saint passed away.
The entire Shengjing was immediately put under martial law. All city gates were heavily guarded and entry and exit were strictly prohibited. However, less than twenty miles away from the city gate, 30,000 troops were stationed at the city gates to prepare.
As for the city of Shengjing, the military and horse divisions of the five cities were patrolling suspicious people everywhere. The Long Guards and Anbu, who could only be ordered by the emperor, were all over the capital to strictly inspect the work of other countries. I don’t know how many carrier pigeons soaring in the night sky were shot down.
The emperor is in great power, and the transition from the old to the new is the most likely to cause turmoil. It is true that Dafeng is a big country, but if at the transition from the old to the new, foreign invaders come all at once to bite off a piece of flesh, it will lead to many wars.
Dafeng has been in a bad situation in the past few years, especially in the past two years. Various disasters and disasters have been like huge rocks, dragging Dafeng to a difficult position, but he can no longer withstand the torment.
Dafeng was under martial law but could not stop Qin Liuxi. She received the message from Taicheng Zhenren and rushed to the ghost town he mentioned. It is a town with a population of thousands in the northernmost part of Shanxi. Why is it called a ghost town? , because the people here have all been corroded by the evil spirits, like walking corpses.
The stone beasts that exist here are more difficult to deal with than those encountered before. They stand in the grotto and are deliberately arranged into a large formation, and the central axis of the town in the formation is where the formation eye is.
This kind of formation is the great formation of the twelve gods, and it is also a killing formation.
The so-called evil spirits are like a round net that collects yin and refines the evil spirits. Anyone who is in the formation will be corroded by the evil spirits. Over time, they will turn into ghosts, that is, walking corpses.
Such a killing array, not to mention the negative consequences, if it is forcibly broken, the evil spirits in the body of the people in the formation will instantly backfire, sucking out souls, and the people will completely become unconscious corpses.
The soul is gone, leaving only an empty shell. Even if a new soul enters, it will not be the same person anymore.
This is also the terrifying thing about the great formation of heaven and earth. Breaking the formation means killing people.
Zhenren Taicheng did not dare to take responsibility for the cause and effect easily. He could not break the formation and could only send a message to Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi stood in the void, looking at the killing array below with cold eyes.
That killing array, the evil spirit was as thick as ink, cold and strange, and the people walking in the array were as lost as fools.
"There is one more thing." Taicheng Zhenren said with a solemn face: "The stone beasts here have very new incantations. It doesn't look like they have been engraved long ago, but they seem to have been engraved recently. I have been to the town and found the food in them. The degree of decay is not great, and Li Zheng’s family has an almanac, which shows that the date was half a month ago.”
Qin Liuxi looked over: "Are you saying that this array will only be set up for half a month?"
"That's what I guessed." Taicheng Zhenren said in a deep voice: "It's not like we destroyed it this time, but it seemed like it was improvised and prepared. And for these twelve heavenly and earthly evil killing formations, I am just I heard Master say that no one in my generation can do it. Of course, this is also the reason why my cultivation is not good enough."
Qin Liuxi pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth, thinking slightly: "Are you prepared?"
She lowered her head and glanced at her left index finger thoughtfully, then looked at Master Taicheng and said, "Can Master Taicheng tell me my fortune?"
Taicheng Zhenren's eyes twitched, as if he heard something funny, and said: "You are joking, my cultivation is not as good as yours, how can I count you?"
“Then you try to read a face?”
Taicheng Zhenren was a little puzzled. Weren't we talking about the killing array now? Why did he ask him to tell fortunes?
He looked at Qin Liuxi: "Really?"
Qin Liuxi nodded: "Don't force it, just give up if it's too difficult."
Taicheng Zhenren calmed down, used both hands to determine his luck, channeled all his spiritual power into his eyes, and then looked at Qin Liuxi's face.
But just as he thought, he couldn't see it.
Thinking of Qin Liuxi's solemnity, Taicheng Zhenren changed his skills and pushed away the haze bit by bit. He finally saw her face and looked at her three courts and five eyes intently. As soon as he saw a little bit, he felt his eyes sting. It hurts, and it feels like my soul has been hit hard. Taicheng Zhenren subconsciously stopped his stance, took a step back, closed his eyes to rest, and then opened them.
"how?"
Taicheng Zhenren frowned: "I think you are going to be in bad luck and suffer a **** disaster."
Qin Liuxi smiled.
Taicheng Zhenren said dryly: "Maybe I saw it wrong, but it's not necessarily because I just glanced at it and didn't take a closer look."
“It’s okay, let’s go over and take a look at the beasts in the grotto.”
Taicheng Zhenren saw her leaving after saying this, feeling a little confused and a little strange.
He brought Qin Liuxi to the two stone beasts in the grotto. They were two fierce white tigers. They were already a long time ago, but as Taicheng Zhenren said, the runes on the white tiger beasts were very new, but those A spell?
Qin Liuxi touched the talismans one by one and said, "These are not all evil evil talismans."
Taicheng Zhenren was startled. He stepped forward and looked at the talisman pattern and said, "How could it be?"
Qin Liuxi took two steps back, looked at the grotto in front of him and the direction of the two stone beasts, then looked at the formation, and said: "It's Youming who asked for the ghost spell, but he mixed it with the evil charm to attract evil spirits. Make incense and use people as offerings to invite evil spirits to come out.”
“Isn’t this a great formation of heaven and earth?”
"Yes." Qin Liuxi squinted his eyes and said, "So everyone in the formation is a sacrifice."
"What kind of evil ghost are you inviting here? Is there anyone more evil than him?" Taicheng Zhenren frowned.
Qin Liuxi turned around, looked at the grotto, and said: "This should be a game against me. Please put me in the urn."
"ah?"
She stretched out her hand and pressed it against the grotto. A sinister and evil aura came from the grotto, coming menacingly. She subconsciously used her mind power to suppress the aura.
Humbling sound.
The grotto shook.
Taicheng Zhenren was startled and said, "Here, there is something in here."
Qin Liuxi turned back to look at the formation. The evil spirit was thick and sticky, rushing towards this side, as well as the townspeople who had lost their nature.
“Master, please block here. If the thing inside comes out, don’t call me, just do it!” Qin Liuxi said, and flew towards the central axis of the town.
Taicheng Zhenren: "I..."
Me, me, and everyone is gone.
No, what is inside? Can you tell me, little ancestor, before you run away?
There was another dull thud.
The grotto was shaking, as if something was about to burst out of it, rocks were falling down, and snow was falling in a crashing sound.
Taicheng Zhenren dodged and took off to avoid the avalanche. He was so close that he was almost buried.
He stared at the grotto in preparation, his eyebrows furrowed into the Chinese character "Chuan". He wouldn't say anything here today, would he? (End of chapter)
