crossing yin and yang

Following Zeng Jingxuan into the study room, Wei Yang could tell something was wrong at a glance, but he hadn't come in for a long time, and there were a lot of things in the study room, besides the talisman papers and medicines piled up on the table, there were also A huge travel bag was leaning against the small bed. It seemed that it hadn't been tidied up. There were only a few wooden boxes scattered on the bed. It was probably something that Mr. Zeng had just brought back this morning.

Noticing Wei Yang's gaze, Zeng Jingxuan waved his hands lightly: "Some of them I kept with my friends, and some of them were bought in exchange. They are all things I want to bring this time. I'll see if there are any suitable ones later. Yes, I'll give you a few too."

You don't need to look at them to know that these should be quite powerful magic weapons, but in Mr. Zeng's mouth, they look like a pile of Chinese cabbage. Wei Yang was stunned when he heard it, but the other party didn't intend to waste time on it. He picked up a notebook from the bed and handed it to Wei Yang.

"This is the information I compiled, you can take a look." Zeng Jingxuan's tone has returned to his usual calmness, without any turmoil.

What was handed to Wei Yang was a cowhide notebook. It was quite heavy and old. It may be because the frequency of use was too high, and the cover on it was worn out. Wei Yang opened the notebook and flipped through it, and found that it was full of Some newspaper clippings, notes and photos, and the time span is quite large. Some of the newspapers and black-and-white photos look like things from the Republic of China period, and I don’t know how much energy was spent on making this thing.

Zeng Jingxuan didn't wait for him to finish reading, and said directly: "About ten years ago, there was a mudslide collapse in the inner peak of Luofu Mountain, and the nearby ancient temple was completely destroyed. At that time, the government was about to develop the tourist area of ​​Luofu Mountain. I wanted to build an eco-hotel there and invited me to investigate the earth’s atmosphere. However, when I got there, I found that things were not that simple. Not a single blade of grass survived. It must be a spell, and I've seen something like it before, just on a smaller scale."

Wei Yang glanced at Zhang Xiuqi who had just walked into the study, and asked tentatively, "Did a similar situation happen in the forbidden area of ​​Longhu Mountain?"

"That's right." Zeng Jingxuan answered without hesitation, "Only the Zhang family can enter the forbidden area of ​​Longhu Mountain, but these years I always go around the forbidden area, trying to find some clues. Years later, a large area of ​​trees near the forbidden area withered. You must know that there is a special landform environment near the Lingqiao, and the trees have grown for thousands of years. Not to mention the disasters of diseases and insects, even natural disasters may not make those trees All withered. However, natural disasters cannot, but earthquakes can. This is also a common sense in the Feng Shui circle. If external forces change the trend of the earth veins and capture the earth energy of the spirit orifice, then the surrounding environment will undergo irreversible changes. Only then did I realize one thing. The person who killed my brother-in-law may not have just wanted to kill him, but probably more because of the spiritual orifice in Longhu Mountain. It’s just why there has never been a similar The Spirit Seizing Formation has been lost for thousands of years, so how could it appear suddenly? After thinking about it, I realized that I was wrong. What they used at the beginning might not be the real Spirit Seizing Formation, but a kind of power Less massive variants, designed to steal that much more readily available ground and life."

Hearing this, Wei Yang thumped in his heart, and blurted out: "Wangcun back then! Are they trying to take away the land of Wangcun?"

"It's very possible." Zeng Jingxuan sneered, "After I figured this out, I started to follow this clue and found several similar cases. One of them happened during the Cultural Revolution, and a chronic disease appeared in a village. , all the people living in the village died in the past five years, and those who left the village did not live past the age of 45. This did not seem too special in the famine era at that time, but if it was artificial, it would be another concept .”

Zeng Jingxuan's words were very plain, but Wei Yang was horrified when he heard it. Was it such a sinister formation that was planted in Wangcun back then?If it hadn't been destroyed by the bone array in his hand, wouldn't it be possible that Wangcun would also end up in ruins?

"Aren't you afraid of God's punishment if you do this?" Wei Yang couldn't help but spit out the words that were suppressed in his heart. Wei Yang remembered that Sun Yunhe didn't use the spirit seizing array like this. Even in the massacre incident in the dream, he didn't plunder the earth energy, he just killed people.

"He's afraid." On the other side, Zhang Xiuqi said coldly, "Human life is the bottom line of Taoism, and such unscrupulous plundering of earth's energy will bring a lot of injustice. That's why he thought of using the soul arresting formation .”

The Forbidden Land of Longhu Mountain is a completely yin orifice, and only the Zhang family can use this kind of spiritual orifice to temper their offspring and study the way of ghosts.If the Soul Containing Formation is used on Huangquan Road, it will cause a riot of ghosts and cause the instability of the spirit orifice. At this time, the evil energy of injustice can be transferred to the spirit orifice.It's just that Zhang's blood is needed to open the spiritual aperture, so that guy will sneak attack during the trial.

"His spirit seizing formation is not a complete version, and he was stopped by his father desperately. Although the forbidden area suffered a lot of damage, the spirit orifice was not damaged, but the remaining power of the soul arresting formation almost shattered my living soul. It's a mistake that made my heavenly soul stay in the bone array." Zhang Xiuqi's eyes showed hostility, and his voice was as cold as ice balls.

Zeng Jingxuan added: "Because of the failure to seize the spirit, the man should have suffered a lot of injuries, but he snatched the bone cutting array from his brother-in-law, and he used some secret method, and he recovered in a few years. The power at that time even far surpassed his previous ability. The most obvious point is that he can use the spirit-seizing array. Luofu Mountain was the Taoist temple of Immortal Ge Hong in his early years. There is indeed a remnant of the spirit orifice, and I don’t know how he found it there, and performed the spirit seizing method. This became the opportunity for me to discover them for the first time.”

Wei Yang immediately grasped the key point: "Besides Luofu Mountain, have those people seized spirits in other places?"

"Once every five years." Zeng Jingxuan answered simply, "It may be that the quality of the spiritual apertures they found is not satisfactory, or it may be that the injustice they committed before was too serious, and they need more spiritual apertures to pass on the grievances. Every five years, I have to find a spiritual orifice to seize the spirit, so as to maintain my own life. However, the movement of the spirit seizure is indeed not small, and the instruments and materials that need to be prepared are also quite complicated. Based on this, I slowly touched it. their whereabouts."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, swiped twice, turned the notebook to a certain page, and clicked on a photo on it: "This person's name is Luo Jin, who showed up 20 years ago, and is good at descending techniques, especially with spirits." The relevant descending technique has always been the guest of some high-ranking officials and nobles, and has undertaken some shady cases."

In the photo is an old man with white beard and hair. He looks to be at least 70 years old. His face is pale, but there is something unnatural in his expression.Wei Yang frowned: "Is this the person who cast the spell back then? The leader of that group?"

Zeng Jingxuan shook his head: "No, this person should be that guy's disciple, and he is the kind of powerful person in charge of foreign affairs. As for his master, no one has seen the real face. Luo Jin himself claimed that his master is over a hundred years old. He inherited the orthodoxy of Yunfeng Temple in the late Qing Dynasty. But it’s okay to deceive outsiders. Yunfeng Temple was wiped out as early as the Opium War, so there is no possibility that there are still people. Not to mention that Yunfeng Temple was originally a lineage of all pavilions Taoism, it is impossible to have any relationship with Sun Yunhe."

"He said he was the descendant of the Zhongge sect?" Wei Yang interrupted and asked suddenly, "Isn't the Zhongge a sect of cultivating immortals? Could this be his purpose?"

The Zhongge Sect can be said to be the branch of the Taoist sect that pays the most attention to "cultivating the Tao". Immortality, attaining the Tao and becoming a fairy is what they pursue. Because of this, in certain classes, the Zhongge Sect's true cultivation is quite popular.I remember that the person surnamed Xu said that his master was the "true body of ten thousand sects" and that he could "live forever". Presumably this is one of the purposes of their propaganda.

"It's not the purpose, it's just a cover-up." Zeng Jingxuan replied coldly, "Sun Yunhe's method is to change his lifespan with spiritual energy. If that person really learns his inheritance, he can indeed achieve 'immortality', but it's just by using external force It’s just in exchange for life. That’s why he has to go out of the mountain every five years to find the spiritual orifice himself and prolong his life.”

"Now it's that five-year period again." Now Wei Yang fully understands why Mr. Zeng and Brother Qi are making intensive preparations, and why they are so excited when they get the spirit orifice map left by Sun Yunhe.

Zeng Jingxuan nodded: "That's right, there is a record of that spiritual orifice in the picture, and it's in a branch of Zigai Peak in Xianshan Mountain."

Zigai Peak in Mount Xian is also one of the ten legendary caves. It is not surprising that there are one or two spiritual apertures in it. What's more, Sun Yunhe's Kantu map has indeed left a mark on Mount Xian.

Wei Yang nodded clearly: "Then when shall we set off?"

"This kind of spirit seizing array should be launched when the moon is full. The news I heard before is that they will enter the mountain when the moon is dark, as long as they arrive at the place where the big array is activated."

No wonder Mr. Zeng was so sure that the other party would do something in the hospital two days ago, probably because he was afraid of delaying entering the mountain.And now it was already the beginning of the month, and those people probably had already entered the mountain to set up formations, and they didn't know when they would start.Although Xianshan is not too far away from Jin Province, they probably won't have too much time left.

However, Wei Yang didn't show any embarrassment on his face, instead he looked shocked: "In the next few days, I'm afraid I have to learn more things, and there is also the matter of witch blood used as medicine, should I do it sooner?" try."

Zhang Xiuqi frowned immediately: "No way! Your energy hasn't fully recovered, you still need to cultivate!"

Wei Yang grinned, and just about to say something, Zeng Jingxuan waved his hand: "Xiao Qi is right, since you want to follow, you still need to rest for a few more days. Now we are still preparing talismans and magic tools. There's no rush."

Wei Yang rolled his eyes: "Do you need other support? For example, contact Director Sun and use his resources to find out Luo Jin's current whereabouts..."

"No way." Zeng Jingxuan shook his head resolutely, "They are also people who have upper-level routes. If they do a detailed investigation, they will startle the snake. Don't worry about this. I asked a friend before to help keep an eye on them. If you have any news, you will contact me as soon as possible.”

It seems that although he didn't find a helper who could fight the demon together, Mr. Zeng's contacts are not too narrow.Wei Yang rubbed the notebook in his hand in confusion, and finally sighed: "Then I will look at the head office, right? I guess there are still a lot of things to make up for the lessons, so let me get in touch with this aspect first."

A slight smile appeared on Zeng Jingxuan's face: "Alright, Xiao Qi needs to combine work and rest these few days, and I will leave this task to you."

I don't know what the so-called "task" is, Wei Yang sneaked a glance at the stern-faced little celestial master, and couldn't help but feel a little happy again. This time he was really accepted by the two of them, and he won't be dumped again. Let's go, what could be better than this?

Hehe smiled, Wei Yang stood up and stretched his waist: "Okay, you guys do your work first, I'll go and order a meal, and do the logistics work."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the notebook and walked out of the room without waiting for the two to reply.Looking at the back of the other party, Zeng Jingxuan suddenly turned his head and asked, "Reluctant?"

Can't bear to leave him alone, can't bear to let him slip away.Zhang Xiuqi understood the implication of these words, he did not answer, but lightly clenched his fists.

Seeing his nephew's appearance, Zeng Jingxuan sighed, and couldn't help exhorting: "The big battle is coming, you still have to pay attention, don't delay the business."

He glanced at Zhang Xiuqi's red lips meaningfully, and noticed his uncle's eyes. The little Tianshi was a little embarrassed, and pursed his lips: "I will teach him well."

That's not the answer he wanted, but... that's fine.Sighing lightly, Zeng Jingxuan changed the subject and said, "I brought back some things, come and have a look..."
