Master on the side of the road, don't pick it up

It was an accident to find fragments in human stomachs.

The washed glazed copper pieces were placed on the wooden table, and the monks of Hanshan Taiqingzong all had ugly faces.

They have had a few lives in their hands since they practiced Taoism, but they have never laid hands on ordinary people.

What's more, after the law was overthrown, unprovoked killings became the cause and effect that the world of cultivators should not be contaminated with. Although the people in the phantom formation were not considered living, the dead were so lifelike that it was unavoidable to make one's heart palpitate.

Yu Ting looked at the cold fragments and asked, "Who found it in the belly?"

Sun Liang replied: "It's a family that buys wontons, a family of three. When we passed by, the proprietress invited us in and sat down, and then..."

The boss's family's children were only thirteen or fourteen years old. Seeing this group of comprehension youngsters, handsome and handsome, they were naturally happy, and warmly greeted them with hot wontons.

The monks didn't have time to eat, and seeing these phantasms were vivid and lively, they felt somehow in their hearts, so they thanked them and left in a hurry.

But they were not far away, and the accident happened in an instant.

"Boom——" There was a loud bang, accompanied by a red shadow falling from the sky, the stalls tilted, and the heavy wooden frames pulled the tarpaulin and fell over.

Passers-by screamed and ran away, and the blood merged into a stream, winding out.

The person who fell down was none other than He An, the formation cultivator who came back from the dead.

Pointing at Qin Guzhen, Sun Liang said sharply, "It's her! When I caught up to the roof, she was standing by the eaves!"

Qin Guzhen looked at everyone present, and said concisely: "He An has become a 'Na Fuling'. Before I approached him, he fell down by himself."

Seeing that everyone was confused, Shen Zhexue came forward and explained, "The spirit is a spirit that is driven by the array cultivator, and the spirit is the most stupid kind, and it will only repeat the scene before death."

"We can prove that Junior Sister Qin didn't do anything." Chef Xiu and several Hanshan disciples stood up to testify.

Yu Ting didn't want to hear the testimony of these people, so he asked, "What happened later?"

Qin Gu really didn't say anything, so the chef said for her: "Later we dragged out that family of three, but they have already..."

Shi Yuan stood beside Shen Zhexue and lowered his eyes.

Day and night, the scene was repeated, and he could completely imagine the scene at that time.

Hanshan's formation repairman He An subconsciously used his spiritual energy to bombard the ground when he fell, trying to use the counter force to stabilize himself.

It doesn't matter if the ground is full of ghosts at night, but in the daytime, this aura alone is enough to kill three people on the ground.

Such a tragedy happened in broad daylight, and no one dared to clean up the dead bodies of the three people. At that time, Pei Jing was about to go forward to cover their bodies with a tarpaulin, but Leng Wenyan asked suspiciously behind him: "What is that?"

Fragments of flesh glistened in the light.

Now these fragments lie flat in front of the monks.

Doctor Leng Wenyan had the most right to speak. She said: "All three of them had sharp objects in their stomachs, and there were obvious scratches on their throats. One of them was bleeding profusely in his stomach with blood clots."

She changed her usual turmoil, and said in a deep voice: "It is impossible for these people to survive."

"Junior Sister Leng, the time sequence is reversed, they have already..." Le Xiu tapped his head with his flute, "But what are they trying to do by swallowing the knife?"

Shen Zhexue said: "They may have eaten the mirror in the city."

He told everyone about the discovery that there was no mirror in the inn.

After hearing this, Pei Jing immediately sent his disciples to the city to inquire.

After half a cup of tea, Taiqing disciples returned one by one.

In Dalangfeng City, no matter whether it is a cosmetic shop or a furniture shop, there is no mirror.

Several of these stores are Chunqi's branches. When I asked Xiaoer about buying mirrors, he just said they were out of stock.

"They smashed the mirror and devoured the pieces. Isn't this against common sense? Who would harm themselves like this?"

Leng Wenyan was puzzled.

Shen Zhexue made a cold voice, and said: "Since they want to repeat a certain day in the Taiqing Year, either everyone will swallow the slices and commit suicide on that day, or these people..."

He clenched his sleeves tightly, "It's really refined from a human soul."

A thing that is not in my world, a knotty humanoid, condensing the soul to shape the body, swimming in the dark night.

This "soul" can be natural luck, the spirit of vegetation, birds and animals, or the soul of life.

"The formation of human souls is a sorcery." Pei Jing thought for a moment, "They are acting strangely. Could it be that they were still conscious before entering the illusion?"

As soon as these words came out, all the monks present felt chills down their spines.

Shen Zhexue took a deep breath, "If the guess is correct, everyone can go back to the room to check, is there any sharp spar hidden in the inn handkerchief?"

Everyone ran to the room to check, and sure enough, most of the handkerchiefs in the entire inn had hidden sharp crystals.

Cultivators don't need to wash and wash every day like ordinary people, and handkerchiefs and cotton towels are also put aside as decorations.

The relationship between Yu Ting and Qin Guzhen was already stiff, and he felt agitated, so he said to Shen Zhexue, "Friend Shen, it seems that you also understand formations, can you please explain."

Shen Zhexue guessed his intentions, and said in her heart that you lost my apprentice and I haven't settled the score with you yet, does this mean she is letting the past go?

But at the moment of the overall situation, let's leave this phantom array first, and there will be plenty of time to worry about it in the future.

He spread out the drawing and said, "As shown in the picture."

"The structure of this phantom formation is complicated. Through some means, this formation repair re-enacted the day of the Little Heavenly Tribulation in the 33rd year of the Taiqing Dynasty."

"As part of the battle, we can only enjoy the daytime of the phantom array. At night, we project the buildings of Langfeng City to create an illusory platform. We have experienced a small catastrophe, and the real Langfeng City at night will be safe and sound. .”

Le Xiu asked: "Someone wants to protect Langfeng City?"

"No." Pei Jing shook his head, "Before we fell into the night, the common people closed their doors, which is abnormal."

Fu Xiu knew more about spirits than swordsmen, Yu Ting stroked his chin and said, "Someone is controlling spirits."

Controlling spirits and ghosts is similar, and ghosts hitting the wall is one.

Shen Zhexue sighed secretly, the useless knowledge increased again.

He went on to say: "To break the formation with force, one must understand the operation principle of the formation to find the possible position of the virtual image. In this formation, apart from the initial spiritual power of the beginning, there are two unknown sources of spiritual power."

The first spiritual power is the power to turn night and day upside down.

The second strand of spiritual power is the endless spiritual energy that allows the phantom array to continuously replicate.

"That's why Brother Wen Shu discovered this, and that's why he left behind his map." Leng Wenyan said.

"There are still people." Shen Zhexue looked at the cold shards on the table, "They smashed all the mirrors in the city and swallowed the shards."

"No matter what method they use, they are pointing to the operating base of this array - the mirror array."

"Mirror Array?" Pei Jing is no stranger to the name Mirror Array.

In the Grand Competition of the Taiqing Sect, the first level of the inner demon assessment needs to be carried out with the help of the mirror array.

In order to ensure that there will be no casualties, the elders only project the demons in the mirror where the formation is set. If there is an accident, smash the mirror to break the formation.

"The mirror array is more fragile than other magic arrays, and it is also very easy to break, but Fellow Daoist Leng didn't directly write a reminder about the mirror array."

Shen Zhexue glanced at Qin Guzhen, and said: "The mirror array needs a spiritual weapon as a carrier. With such a large range, our spiritual energy can't break the carrier, and we can't wait for the magic array to reincarnate."

At this moment, Qin Gu really said: "This mirror as a carrier is an artifact."

Mirror artifacts are rare in the world.

But in Emperor Zijiang Xi, there are quite a few elders holding Dharma mirrors, among which Lord Jing, Lord Xiang, and Lord Heng are the most.

Jingjun has a Taoist relationship with the head of Hanshan, and Xiangjun is Qin Guzhen's former master.

Regardless of whether it is related or not, if Qin Guzhen said something wrong, it would be detrimental to her, and it would also be detrimental to Hanshan where she lives now.

This is why Yu Ting asked Shen Zhexue to explain.

"Then what should we do now?" Pei Jing asked.

Shen Zhexue tapped the word "virtual image" on the paper with her index finger, "The only way to lure the enemy to appear is to attack the virtual image and forcefully break the formation."

"It's not easy to bring out a virtual image." Sun Liang interjected, "How do we do it?"

Pei Jing's thoughts changed sharply, "Since we are in the daylight, we naturally have to start from the daytime."

Yu Ting is also a smart person, he took out the talisman and said: "Everyone, we must make all the people in Langfeng City lose their minds before dusk."

Before nightfall, the people shut their doors and closed their doors. According to Fuxiu's understanding of spiritual things, they are likely to be the key to turning black and white.

It was also the source of the first spiritual power that Shen Wu mentioned.

As soon as these words came out, the disciples of Taiqing Hanshan realized the heavy task.

It's not difficult to bring down the common people, but this move is tantamount to scaring the snake out of the grass. How could the instigator let them do whatever they want?

Inevitably another fierce battle.

The crowd flew away and scattered in all directions.

Shi Yuan temporarily learned a few strokes of light kung fu and body movement from Shen Zhexue, and he used them in a decent way.

He followed closely beside Shen Zhexue, "Master, I have three things to track ghosts and goblins, among which Mingpan Sinan is enough to cover the entire Langfeng."

Just now Shen Zhexue didn't point it out, but Shi Yuan knew it well.

Since the other party wanted to disable their magic weapon at night, such a powerful move was to conceal their identities.

Shen Zhexue nodded, and raised her sleeves to sprinkle the fan powder from Leng Wenyan's place in the wind.

Shi Yuan looked at the fallen pedestrians in the streets and alleys, and asked, "Among the monks in Taiqing Hanshan, is there someone who has a different heart?"

Tuesday, who was traveling with them, whistled, "Not bad."

Since they entered this phantom array, they encountered too many coincidences.

And the most coincidental is the first person to die.

That was the only real formation among them.

At that time, everyone was surprised by the failure of the magic weapon. After disconnecting from the magic weapon, the aura in the body would inevitably stagnate, and He An fell off the roof. Although it was surprising, it was not necessarily impossible.

But the formation repair itself does not need to rely on the medium.

Later, the phantom array repeated itself, which was enough to prove that He An's reaction ability was not bad.

When he fell, he still knew how to slap the aura towards the ground to use the counter force, which shows that he can still use the aura.

It's not normal for a formation cultivator who can react quickly and jump into the air to step on the air and throw himself to death.

Unless someone pushed him down on purpose.

However, Leng Wenshu, who came before them, still has the strength to fight, which shows that this formation originally did not exclude formation cultivation.

The reason why their formation cultivators died early was probably because the master of the phantom formation realized what Leng Wenshu had done.

Therefore, just in case, their array cultivation was eradicated.

The monks in the lobby had already thought of this point more or less, they just suspected each other and didn't speak out.

Shen Zhexue instructed Shi Yuan: "Shi Yuan, follow me closely, your master can't beat me, and I can still run for a while with you."

On Tuesday, he joked: "Ha, what a coincidence, I'm also a master at escaping."

The melodious music spread throughout Langfeng City.

Taiqing Lexiu played the sleeping flute until he fell asleep for a long time, and then poured down a handful of medicine powder. An ordinary person would sleep for at least a dozen hours.

The original cultivators in the city needed to be stunned manually, which took a lot of time.

Taiqing Hanshan's team leader feared that the other party was the enemy's undercover agent, so they restrained each other, and the two acted at the same time.

After a while, the whole city was silent, and no one was sober.

Yu Ting glanced at Pei Jing, and said to everyone in a deep voice, "Always pay attention."

Night is coming.
