Chapter 246: The View of Doom
"Shen Duo! Fu Cha!" Yun Kang's shout echoed in the front and back yards of the big house, the wind in the night was so tight that the broken hemp paper on the broken window rattled, he ran back and forth to find a big circle, the row of guest rooms and attics in the backyard were empty, and no one answered him at all.

Yun Kang's head was a little dazed, it stands to reason that it is impossible for Shen Duo and them to leave for no reason, even if there is any emergency to leave first, they will leave him some marks and clues. The only possibility is that they had an accident and someone forcibly abducted the two of them.
But this is also too outrageous, not to mention that with Shen Duo's skills, the master of the late stage of the Yellow Order, no one can surpass Shen Duo among the martial artists he has seen so far.
And Yan Fucha is not a fuel-efficient lamp, that kid is a clever ghost, if anyone wants to take him away, it is strange if he doesn't take the opportunity to shout "brother-in-law help", if there is an accident, if something doesn't come out, then it is not Yan Fucha.
Yun Kang reluctantly calmed himself down, carefully recalled the details of the action just now, and wanted to judge whether Shen Duo and the two were likely to be arrested.
Although it seems useless to think about this matter clearly, it is very important to him, because he always feels that there is a mysterious black hand behind the whole thing, and people like Shen Mouton are just a pawn under the control of the black hand.
What he wanted to figure out was how much energy this black hand had, if even a master like Shen Duo could be easily captured, then there was no need to play the following games, they would only have to be slaughtered by others.
Yun Kang reached out and probed into the sleeping bag, and there was still a trace of heat, indicating that Shen Duo had not long since they left. The kerosene stove in the big house was still blazing, and Yan Fucha's backpack was placed on the ground next to the sleeping bag, and there were a lot of things in it.
He pulled out a ball of hemp rope with hooks and claws from his backpack, as well as a dagger, all of which Yan Fucha was used to.
Putting out the things one by one, Yun Kang "chuckled" in his heart, if they left by themselves, these things would definitely be taken with them, especially the small cloth bag in the backpack containing a few gemstone rings, which were the trophies that Yan Fucha got from the bat.
As for these gemstone rings, Yan Fucha didn't mention many treasures along the way, no one could take a look at them, he had to carry them with him no matter what, and he would never throw them away casually.
Yun Kang couldn't find any other clues, so he had no choice but to tidy up his things, and threw his sleeping bag and backpack into the Dragon Swallowing Ring, his heart becoming extremely heavy.
He had just tracked the black shadow, running his divine sense power along the way, and his facial senses were extremely keen, if someone captured Shen and snatched them, as long as the two of them let out a little cry of struggle, he would be aware of it from a few hundred meters away.
What kind of powerful characters are they that they have lost even the ability to scream. Yun Kang was unwilling to admit this, he pondered it again, and comforted himself that he didn't have to worry too much, maybe the other party used a special method.
Could it be the gas mist?
He looked around at the empty house, where the kerosene stove was whirring on the bluestone bricks, and the air was mixed with hot and cold breaths, wafting a faint smell of miasma-removing tobacco. Yunkang took a hard breath, ran the dantian meridians, tried the floating objects in the air, and did not find any smell of smoke or poison.
He immediately shook his head, Shen Duo came from the Witch Sect, Yan Fucha and poisonous spider body, even if someone used smoke poison, these things would not pose a threat to them.
Ruling out all possibilities, Yun Kang's mood was a little depressed, although he didn't want to believe the conclusions reached, but he also had to face a cruel fact, Shen Duo and them were indeed taken captive, and they walked silently, without a trace of resistance and struggle.
This can only mean one thing, there are top masters appearing.
At this time, it was three or four o'clock in the morning, and the deathly silence in the entire immortal city, the dark and empty streets, the ghostly doors, windows, eaves, and some inexplicable weirdness, all pulled Yun Kang back to a sober reality.
He had promised Yan Xuan that he would take care of Yan Fucha, but just now he went to chase the black shadow, and when he came back, he found that he had lost Yan Fucha.
You shouldn't have taken that risk!
Yunkang was depressed, his hands couldn't help but grab his hair, and suddenly remembered his actual situation, and felt that things were even more tricky. He was no longer a powerful Golden Pill Immortal, but a newcomer in the Qi Refining Period who had been sealed and had just stepped into the path of re-cultivation.
The True Qi Skill of the Fourth Order of Qi Refining is only equivalent to that of a martial artist in the middle of the Xuan Rank, and apart from having a blue light mask that allows him to fly for a short time, the rest does not have many advantages.
He used his divine sense along the way, and he had already consumed too much true qi, and he kept opening the dragon swallowing ring and wearing a blue light mask, which made a large amount of true qi continue to be consumed, and there was no time to replenish and recover.
Once his mood was low, Yun Kang suddenly felt exhausted, and at this time, if there was a martial artist in the middle of the Yellow Rank, and the two of them would fight each other, he would probably not be an opponent.
Feeling irritable in his heart, Yun Kang couldn't help but scream, hoping that Shen Duo would appear immediately, but after waiting for a while, there was still silence around.
A stream of cold wind blew in through the crack in the door, Yun Kang was stunned for a long time in a cold sweat, his mind slowly sobered up, and his consciousness gradually became calm.
Since someone kidnapped Shen and them, they would not let him find their traces easily, so the top priority was not to run around looking for people, but to recover his true qi and physical strength as soon as possible.
Yun Kang calculated the time, there were still more than ten hours before the night of the full moon, he wanted to use this time to step up his cultivation and Tuna, and when the time came, he would not be defeated against the opponent.
He had to leave this big house first, find the altar of the Immortal City, and then wait for the rabbit while cultivating his true qi. The other party captured Yan Fucha, it is possible that in order to open the sacrifice of the secret realm, as long as he stays near the altar, when the time comes, Yan Fucha will definitely appear.
Thinking of this, Yun Kang was not in a hurry, the most important thing at the moment was to find the altar first. The only trouble was that the true qi in his dantian was already very weak, and he could no longer use his divine sense, nor could he fly with a blue light mask, and if half of his true qi was exhausted, he would have to fall from mid-air.
This immortal city is more than ten kilometers in circumference, and if you rely on your feet and eyes to find the altar, I'm afraid it won't be enough for more than ten hours.
What is the best way to save time? Yun Kang frowned slightly, searching for knowledge about Taoist sacrifices in his memory, hoping to think of something useful.
Taoist sacrifices, also known as Jiao law, are a ritual of communion with the gods, and are divided into two types: yang and yin. Yang Shi Jiao is also known as Jiao Qingjiao, such as praying for blessings and rain, relieving evil and other activities. Yin affairs are also called ghosts, such as summoning the souls of the dead, communicating with the netherworld, and so on.
Whether it is Jiao or Jiao, it must be held on the altar of the Taoist temple, first build the altar cloth fasting, offer offerings, then chant and worship, step on the gang step fight, pinch the mantra and chant the mantra, and finally walk on the fairy bridge altar, thank the gods and gods, and complete the Jiao ceremony.
Yunkang thought about the process of Taoist sacrifice, and felt that it was a bit of a doorway, if you really want to use blood sacrifice to open the secret realm, is it a yang or a yin thing, is it a clear Jiao or a secluded Jiao?
It is very important to figure out this point, if it is a Yang Shi Qing Jiao, only a few drops of blood need to be mixed into the spiritual water of the Jiao Method, and the Dharma can be completed, and there is no need to kill people to take blood at all, so Yan Fu will not be in danger of investigating them.
But if it is a yin affair, it is necessary to use a large amount of blood to refine the undead, pull out the ghosts, kill and sacrifice, and make offerings to collect blood, and Yan Fucha will be dangerous.
Judging from the current situation, it is more likely that the yin affairs are ghostly, and the other party wants Yan Fucha's life, if he only needs to take a little blood, he doesn't have to go to great lengths to arrest people.
Since it is a yin affair, Yun Kang's heart is clearer, according to the direction of the five elements, the altar of the yin matter should be built in the northern Xuanxia place, the goal is to surpass the ghost, so that the dead wood can be revived in spring, and it will sprout and reborn again, that is, it will be a tree in the water.
The wood belongs to the east, and the water belongs to the north, if he guessed correctly, there should be an altar of Taoist temples in the northeast corner of the fairy city.
Yun Kang figured out these joints, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately left the big house and ran along the main street of Xiancheng towards the northeast corner.
He galloped all the way, did not meet anyone on the way, and soon found a Taoist temple, which looked quite large from the outside, and felt a little familiar.
With the skill of the fourth layer of qi refining, his vision has become very acute, Yun Kang did not use a flashlight at this time, and there was a layer of hazy mist in front of him, and he could still see it clearly.
This Taoist temple is the one where Jiang Mo took a group photo, Yunkang once saw Jiang Rong's photos of Zhancun, the details inside are exactly the same as the Taoist temple in front of him, they are all cornices and tiles, the temples are stacked, and there are two stone beasts on both sides of the door.
Two years ago, Jiang Mo had an accident in the Taoist temple, and Yun Kang was sure in his heart that he had found the right place.
The two dark doors outside the Taoist temple are closed, and the horizontal plaque on the lintel reads three golden characters: Doom Temple.
Yunkang stood at the door and glanced at the horizontal plaque, the name of this Taoist temple is really strange, the word "Du'er" is more like the Dharma in Buddhism, I didn't expect it to be used as the name of the Taoist temple.
However, he thought about it again, there is also a saying in Taoism about calamity and misfortune, and it can be explained by using "doom" as the name of the view.
Looking over the gate and the high wall, there is a vague large-scale Guanyu Tower, although it is in disrepair, it looks a little old and dilapidated, but compared with other dilapidated houses on the street, it is still majestic, extraordinary, and there is a fairy spirit in it.
Yun Kang walked up the stone steps, pushed the two gates open, and after entering, he turned around and closed the door tightly. As soon as he opened and closed, the two doors creaked strangely, making him look horrified in the silence of the night, startling himself.
In the courtyard is a side hall for incense and sacrifices, and several stone statues of fairy girls are enshrined in it.
Yun Kang stepped into the side hall, looked left and right a few times, these fairy girls were all miserable white big disc faces, eyebrows and eyes were thickly drawn with black charcoal, big red lips, two red faces. The red satin they wore on their bodies, moldy and torn into rags, stood on either side of the temple, staring at him with black eyes.
The cold wind blew in from the window, and there was a chaotic sound, blowing the tattered silk cloth on the fairy girl's body into the air, and a thick layer of dust fell.
"Ahem!" Suddenly someone coughed twice, and it sounded in the empty hall, very harsh.
Yun Kang felt a chill in his back, his heart almost jumped to his throat, he quickly turned his head to look around, there was silence everywhere, and there was no one.
Where did the coughing sound come from? It sounded like a man, and it sounded like a woman. The night was dark, Yun Kang stood in the Immortal Gu Palace, surrounded by gloomy darkness, his heart was furious, and he couldn't tell the direction of the sound at all.
"Who is it?" he shouted in a hoarse voice, and the hall was very loud, and he waited for a long time, but no one answered, and could only hear his own echo drifting around.
Yun Kang glanced at the fairy statues in the hall with his eyes, and felt that they were all like they were alive, and the expressions on their faces seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, surrounding him, staring at him with malicious eyes.
Yunkang is not a timid person, but under this atmosphere, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat. He searched around the temple, but found no figure, so he had to return to the same place.
Standing on the bluestone slab for a few seconds, surrounded by ghosts, Yun Kang only felt that his throat was dry and his heart was beating faster. He swallowed dryly, and scolded in his heart, what kind of broken place is this, it is so weird, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and he has to leave this fairy palace quickly.
So he retracted his gaze, lowered his head, pretended that nothing had happened, and hurriedly went out through the back door of the side hall and went straight to the main hall of the Taoist temple.
