0286 Shadow of the White House on the water
The aura of the three younger supernatural people can't be restrained, although their peers can't see it, how can they hide it from the old eyes?
Especially the old man in his sixties, who only exuded a very small amount of the breath of a supernatural person, but the more so, the more powerful he became, if you use the words of the cocoon breaking their magic circle, this old man seems to be about to reach the realm of a great magician.
Cheng Lao didn't know much about the current magic circle, and of course he didn't know who these people were. But he knew exactly what these people were here for.
The old man gestured, and the others stopped not far from Cheng Lao. A man said something, not hiding it from the old ears, but not understanding.
"It turned out to be Dongying people!" Cheng Lao thought it was a domestic powerhouse, but he didn't know that the person spoke in Dongying (Japan was already called Japan in the Ming Dynasty, and Dongying was another nickname given to them by the people at that time). "What do the Dongei ninjas want to inquire about when they come to the Demon Mansion?"
Cheng Lao is still a little familiar with the Dongying ninjas, in his time, there would often be conflicts between the Dongying ninjas and the superpowers, and there were many casualties on both sides.
Ninja is a special profession unique to Japan, "ninja" is "hidden", there is a Chinese word "hidden forbearance", Cheng Lao understands that this kind of person is a group of special operations killers and special operations spies who have received special "ninjutsu training" from special institutions.
Ninjas are further divided into upper ninja, middle ninja, and lower ninja. "Shangnin", also known as "Wisdom Tank Ninja", specializes in planning the overall combat steps. "Middle ninja" is the commander of the actual battle, and of course, ninjutsu must also be transcendent. "Shimoshinobi", also known as "physical ninja", is equivalent to a special operations unit, and is an actual ninja who fights on the front line. There is a clear hierarchical relationship between the three.
Cheng Lao didn't have a good impression of the Dongying ninja, but because he couldn't use the little immortal technique, if he wanted to kill these people now, it would be a little troublesome, and it would be bad if he alarmed the people in the Demon Courtyard.
Cheng Lao couldn't use the Little Immortal Technique, but the illusion he laid was far from being noticed by any Stranger and Magician. Only the archmage can sense it, but it is not always possible to find the location of the illusion he has set up.
Cheng Lao looked at the old man, thinking that if that person could feel his illusion, he would arrange another round of bigger illusions, and now seeing that this old man has no sense of the illusion he has set up, it should not be at the level of a great magician.
Cheng Lao couldn't understand what they were saying, he could only see those people coming together to talk to each other, and from time to time someone would look around, looking very careful.
The Dongying people didn't know what they were talking about, and they began to separate, each standing in a seat. Then the old man put his hands together and made a mudra, his index finger and thumb standing upright, and the other fingers intersecting at the fingernails.
Cheng Lao has had countless dealings with Dongying ninjas, and it can be seen that this old man has an inner lion seal, which is the "one" mantra in the Tantric nine-character mantra.
He had heard his master say that the nine-character mantra mudra was a secret mudra that was popular among Taoists and soldiers in those days, also known as the nine-character mystical word. The nine-character mantra is what is now called "proximity, soldiers, fighting, people, all, arrays, columns, fronts, and lines".
The nine characters of Dongying are not the nine characters of Taoism, the nine characters of Taoism originated from Ge Hong's "Bao Puzi Inner Chapter Dengshi" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and its nine characters are "Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, Both, Number, Group, Front, Line".
However, when the nine-character mantra mudra was introduced to Dongying, I don't know whether the person who copied it intentionally or unintentionally, and it was mistakenly copied as "Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, Both, Array, Column, In, Front", and it became a mantra that Dongying people valued in cultivating the Tao.
Now, this miscopied nine-character mantra has become a very big loophole in the Dongying nine-character mantra, which may have been known to the Dongying people, but hundreds of years have passed, and they have passed it down from generation to generation, and they can't change it now.
"It turns out that this old thing has found something unusual. After Cheng Lao saw that the old man had made this inner lion mark, the man disappeared suddenly, and there was no smoke coming out of those forbearance stealths.
The other four joined forces there, each forming a handprint, side by side in a small formation.
The old man ignored Cheng Lao's illusion and appeared directly in the wooden house. As far as the eye could see, all I could see was a corpse lying on the ground. The corpse was decomposing, and there was no corpse gas emitted because it was wrapped in some kind of magic.
The old man pinched his handprints and looked at the cabin carefully, only to realize that there was no one else here except for the two illusions that had been laid down.
However, there was still confusion in his eyes.
As long as the illusion is not destroyed, it can never be dispersed, but the alien spell is not, and it will generally disappear automatically after half a month. Judging by the corpse spots and the degree of decay on the corpse that fell to the ground, it should have been dead for more than a month, so why did the magic applied to the corpse still exist?
The old man withdrew from the hut, glanced at his companions below, and didn't know what to do, the four of them gathered around.
The old man made another mudra, closed his eyes, and felt the energy fluctuations around him, but he couldn't notice anything. He opened his eyes, scattered his handprints, clasped his hands into fists, and said in Chinese: "I am from Japan, I don't know that there are high-ranking people practicing here, and it is offended to disturb me unintentionally, and please come out to meet, if there is any inconvenience, we will leave immediately." ”
The words spoken by Takaji Kamiki are somewhat archaic, and they are not pure everyday language. But there was no other sound in his answer than the sound of the wind stirring the tips of the wind, and no one came out.
Of course Cheng Lao will not leave, he believes that this guy named Eagle Si Shangshu can't find himself at all, and the other party found this wooden house, but he just peeked through the illusion he set, so it seems that this guy's ability is quite strong.
It's just that in Cheng Lao's memory, this Yingsi family seems to be a noble surname in Dongying, and it belongs to a very large family in Dongying, which is better than the current Shangguan family.
Of course, he wouldn't show up to meet these people, and if he didn't use the Little Immortal Technique, it would be difficult to kill these five people at once. If he wasn't afraid of alarming the people in the Demon Courtyard, he would slowly kill them in this hundred-mile forest.
What's more, he also wanted to see what conspiracy these Japanese, that is, Dongying people, had to come here. He didn't believe that these Japanese people were just here to play around the Demon Temple, or to get a few pets back in the forest.
He can't use hypnotism or voyeurism on these people, the people who can come here to peep at the desecrated demon courtyard must be very strong, especially the Japanese ninjas, who are extremely determined, and hypnosis has no effect on this kind of people.
As for the use of voyeurism, Cheng Lao believed that he would not be noticed by the recipient, but as long as the recipient showed a slight abnormality, at least the other three would be able to see it.
For the sake of insurance, Cheng Lao didn't plan to attack these people, he also wanted to see what kind of progress the methods of the current Japanese ninjas had compared with hundreds of years ago.
And the Blasphemy Courtyard is a very good place to test the abilities of the Adept.
Seeing that there was no answer, Takaji looked at the woman under the tree again, and when he saw that the woman nodded, he knew that there was no living creature in the vicinity, so he said something to the person below in Japanese.
When the people under the tree heard what he said, they also removed their handprints, took off their backpacks, and took out food to eat.
Takaji Kamiki looked at the wooden house again, and saw that there was no anomaly, thinking that this corpse should be the one who laid the illusion outside, but he didn't know why he died here. Since this person died here without being found, it also means that this area is safe.
He just couldn't figure out why the magic that this person had laid before his death to prevent his corpse from leaking out hadn't dispersed yet.
"Maybe it's a very high-level ability master in Huaxia!" Eagle Si Shangshu could only comfort himself like this, "It's a pity that he died here." If he hadn't died, he might have been able to learn about the Demonium through him. ”
He did not touch the corpse, nor did he destroy the illusion that covered the cabin, but went down to the tree, sat down cross-legged, took the food handed by a man, and whispered something to them as he ate.
Soon, they finished eating and drinking some water. A ninja pulls a compass-like object out of his backpack and shifts his position from time to time.
"The magnetic field here is very strong, and it has been used by the Great Magician or a high-level anomalist to specifically target compass type objects, how come their compass hasn't failed?" Cheng Lao was a little puzzled.
The man with the compass looked in the direction, said a word to the eagle, and walked southwest according to the compass's guidance.
That direction is where the Blasphemy Courtyard is located.
After they walked for a while, Cheng Lao was still "lying" in the corpse, he was not in a hurry to go over, he believed that it was impossible to unlock the birdcage with those few people without a few days of effort, even if there were ninjas who knew gossip and Qimen techniques, even if a few of them could enter, it might be difficult to get out alive.
"They haven't even reached the level of a great magician, and they even want to spy on the Demon Courtyard? Where do they get their confidence!" Cheng Lao sneered, now he was thinking about where to get another corpse, "The rotting corpse is not very useful, it would be nice if there was a dry corpse, but I don't know how to rob the tomb!"

It was as black as a curtain, covering the whole world and the earth.
The distant mountains are like daisies, lurking in the thick of the night, like huge beasts lying in the dark.
Nova Park is full of tourists, walking slowly on the cool path by the lake, or sitting in the pavilion by the lake, in groups of three or five, enjoying the coolness of the lake breeze.
On the not wide path, there are several groups of people running at night. In the square of the park, there are also several groups of middle-aged and elderly people dancing in the square.
Unbeknownst to these people, a murder was taking place in an abandoned European-style castle in the center of the lake.
The white castle has a large area, about 20,000 or 30,000 square meters, and a few years ago it was used as a high-end restaurant, attracting elites from all walks of life in Changyuan City, and people from other provinces and cities came to visit. But four years ago, the castle, known as the "White House on the Water", was ordered to be reorganized for some reason, and until now, the White House has been deserted day and night, like an eerie monster, and people dare not approach.
Especially at night, when the lights come on in other parts of the park, the dark White House is shrouded in horror.
The White House faces the water on three sides, and the other side is close to the shore, and on the shore are several ficus trees with huge canopies, blocking all the lights around it, burying the path leading to the White House for more than ten meters in black.
At this time, in a gloomy room on the second floor of the White House, a shadow moved around the room, and I don't know what was moving.
The distant light came in through the dusty window, which looked a little yellow, and on the shadowy face, it was only faintly discernible that it was a somewhat young face. It's just that the young face is a little nervous, but more hideous, and his mouth is still muttering.
"So that you look down on Lao Tzu...... ......In front of him, there was an object in the shape of a person, and through the light it was vaguely visible that the person's face was hidden by a few long locks of black hair, it should be a woman, but now it was motionless.
The young man took something out of his trouser pocket, threw it next to the woman's corpse, and then walked to the window by the sidewalk, looked carefully, saw that no one was passing, but walked out lightly. Behind him, a string of wet footprints was left behind.
The young man walked to the exit, changed into the shoes he had bought when he was shopping today, looked around vigilantly, and walked out as if nothing had happened.
In the dark room, in the dim yellow light, next to the female corpse, there were three playing cards.
5 of spades, J of diamonds, King of spades.

It's very strange to break the cocoon, how can it always be difficult to see the age of a person who has reached the level of a quasi-great magician or above. For example, the director of the Secret Service in front of him, Tong Bibi, makes it completely impossible to see how old he is.
Breaking the cocoon slightly compares him with the black Guo Genheng, and at first glance it seems that Guo Genheng still looks older.
He didn't know the specific level of Tong Biqi, but since he had achieved the position of director of the Secret Service, the level of the quasi-great magician was certain.
There were just three of them in the office, and there were three cups of tea on the coffee table in front of them, and the fragrance of tea was waviting.
Tong Biqi arrived here a little late, as if he still had some tiredness caused by some unknown reason. He sat across from the broken cocoon, his face so moist that there was not a trace of wrinkles with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"You're a little more mysterious than what we know from what we know, so it's only some of you who pay a little attention to you. Tong Biqi said lightly, "Because of your performance, all the information about the former Heavenly Evil Lone Star has become chaotic." According to previous information, it is unlikely that there will be an 'upgraded version' of the Heavenly Demon Star, such as super hand-to-hand combat, such as having a partner who knows the Sky Demon Eye. If possible, can you tell me what happened to this year's Celestial Lone Star?"
Hearing Tong Biqi ask this, Guo Ganheng, who had always seemed extremely indifferent, also became serious, he looked at the broken cocoon, and also wanted to know what was wrong with the information known by the Tiansha Lone Star and the Secret Service.
Breaking the cocoon's performance in Qingfeng Ridge completely subverted all his common sense about the Tiansha Lone Star.
