Chapter 18: Shocked by the Demonic Aura
Early the next morning, Merlin said goodbye to his wife and son and went to the old teahouse alone. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
At the end of the day, Yun Qi also came here on time.
Seeing Mei Linsu, Yun Qi bowed slightly, "Mei Gong, please come with me." β
Mei Linsu glanced back at his direction one last time, and then silently followed Yun Qi and left.
Yun Qi took him directly to the outside of the Tuoba clan's cemetery, of course, not at the door, but by the wall.
It was only at this time that Merlin Su knew that his patron this time was actually asking him to sneak into the graveyard of the lord clan.
He smiled bitterly - he might as well have lost his life in some dangerous place rather than doing something as troubled as a sinful lord.
However, at this time, it was too late for him to regret it.
Yun Qi glanced at him with a faint expression, "I think Mei Gong also knows the rumors of Lord Gongzhou's fierce fate, I don't know what you think?"
"This ......" Merlin Su hesitated. He didn't think that the adult was such a fate, but he had no clue what kind of answer the person in front of him wanted, and if one of the answers was not good......
"We suspect that someone has done something in the Tuoba family's cemetery," Yun Qi didn't bother to go around in circles with him, and immediately said his request directly, "You are invited to come just to find out the reason and crack it." β
Merlin Su breathed a sigh of reliefβit seemed that this man was not at least an enemy of the lord.
He bowed slightly, "The old man must do his best." β
Yun Qi smiled with satisfaction, "Then there will be Lao Mei Gong." If this matter can be resolved smoothly, Mei Gong's promise to Ling Lang will naturally be fulfilled. β
Mei Linsu was not surprised at all about the things he had been watching, but the news that he was able to return home safely really surprised and delighted him. A rare smile appeared on his old face, "Then Your Excellency Lao will take the old man in." β
Yun Qi rolled up his sleeves, and Mei Linsu found that he had flown over the wall.
After the two stood still in the cemetery, Yun Qi withdrew his sleeves, "Gong Mei, please." β
Mei Linsu bowed slightly, and then looked intently.
A moment later, Yu Ling and Jing Hong, who had leveled the grave keeper, also walked over.
After the three of them glanced at each other, they all turned their eyes to Mei Linsu, who was busy.
However, what made them feel bored was that Mei Linsu didn't do anything special, he just walked around the cemetery, and then dug up a corner of a certain grave.
"Found it!" When a small white cloth bag appeared in the dirt, Merlin Su immediately put down his small shovel.
Yun Qi and the others looked at Mei Linsu curiously, only to see that he first took out a pair of brown gloves that could not be seen and put them on, and then carefully opened the cloth bag.
Inside the cloth bag was a strange object composed of several round bone fragments, an oval fruit core, and a few green triangular copper plates, Yun Qi and the three of them looked at it for a long time and didn't see any difference, but Mei Linsu's face changed almost the moment he saw these things.
"What is this?" he couldn't see the clue, Yun Qi simply asked the expert directly.
Mei Lin Su held the cloth bag, and his old face wrinkled into walnuts, "A curse utensil with a mysterious origin, the exact name is not known to Lao Yu, Lao Yu only heard people talk about the power of this thing once when he was young, and it was the first time he saw the real thing." β
Seeing that although his expression was serious, he did not show any panic or sorrow, Yun Qi immediately guessed that he must have a way to deal with it. He asked Mei Linsu straightforwardly, "How to crack it?"
"It's easy, just throw this thing somewhere that has nothing to do with the lord. Mei Lin Su took out a crude small wooden box, and then rewrapped the cloth bag and threw it into the wooden box, "Although this thing is powerful, as long as it can't reach the target, it will naturally not be able to play a role." β
Yun Qi asked again, "Do you know how this thing works?"
Merlin shook his head, "I don't know. Even this method of cracking is actually just a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. β
Yun Qi frowned slightly, "Then does Mei Gong know the way to cure the root cause?"
"Naturally, it completely ruined this thing. But Your Excellency has also seen that the old man can't even touch this thing, let alone destroy it. Speaking of this, Mei Linsu couldn't help but sigh, "So the only way to get rid of it is to get rid of it." β
Yun Qi glanced at him puzzled, "Since you can't touch it, why not destroy it with a knife and axe?"
Merlin replied with a wry smile, "As far as the old man knows, ordinary swords and axes can't destroy this thing at all. β
Yun Qi frowned slightly, "Then what is it going to destroy?"
"Strange fire. Mei Lin Su said as he handed the wooden box to Yun Qi, "The most common of the alien fires that our wizards are talking about is the Samadhi True Fire of immortal cultivators. β
Yun Qi nodded understandingly, "Please also ask Mei Gong to take a step back." β
Mei Linsu immediately let go of the wooden box in his hand, and then took a step back as he said.
Yun Qi's fingertips moved slightly, and an unusually hot flame burned towards the wooden box.
In an instant, the wooden box, cloth bag, copper flakes, and broken bones were all burned to ashes, leaving only the unknown kernel hovering alone in front of everyone.
Yun Qi's eyebrows raised slightly, and another cluster of Samadhi True Fire was thrown over, and only then did he finally burn two cracks in the unknown kernel.
However, before he could rejoice, a cloud of black mist had already spilled out of the core with great swiftness, and swooped straight towards where he was standing.
"Yun Qi!" Yu Ling quickly exported his demonic power while transmitting a warning sound, forming a pale cyan spiritual power light curtain in front of the three of them.
Yun Qi's reaction was also very fast, but the object of his protection was Mei Linsu, who was standing on the other side of the fruit core. Because, after the black mist collided with the spiritual power light made by the feather spirit, it immediately changed its direction and rushed towards Merlin Su.
Mei Linsu's old face turned pale with fright, "How ...... Thank you for your help. β
He is not an immortal cultivator, if it weren't for Yun Qi's quick eyes, he was afraid that he would have already been controlled by this thing.
Yun Qi first burned the black mist clean with a fire, and then turned his gaze to Mei Lin Su, "Mei Gong doesn't have to be polite. β
Mei Linsu hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth to ask Yun Qi, "If the old decay is not mistaken, that should be the demonic qi just now, right?"
Yun Qi was a little surprised, "Mei Gong knows the demonic qi?"
Mei Linsu explained: "I've been in this business for a long time, and I basically know a little bit about everything. However, just like the cursed paraphernalia destroyed by Your Excellency, this demonic decay is the first time I have seen it. β
Yun Qi was silent for a moment before he said, "Duke Mei, with all due respect, you may have been involved in some great incident by us. β
Merlin Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It has nothing to do with Your Excellency, since the day I did this business, I never expected myself to have a good death." β
