Chapter 172: Back to the Dream

"Qiankun Wuji, five thunders borrow the law, disease!"

A deep voice suddenly sounded, and as a purple arc flashed, the bone that raised the knife to stab Rong Zilong exploded with a "bang".

The sharp knife in its hand stabbed into the floor only a few centimeters away from Rong Zilong's face, and a broken palm hung from the hilt.

Lu Mingxuan walked to Dong Ziqing's mobile phone that fell to the ground and bent down to pick it up, he looked at the live broadcast room that was still open and said, "Hey, two seniors, we have arrived!" ”

Emperor of the Truth: "Sanqing bless, you are finally here, you go and see if there is an inscription engraved on the bones." ”

After reading the news, Lu Mingxuan turned back to Zhang Ling and said, "Senior Mingkong asked you to see if there is any inscription engraved on that bone!" ”

Zhang Ling pulled Rong Zilong up and responded: "Got it! ”

After saying that, he walked over to the shattered skeleton that had been blown up and examined it, but he searched for a long time and did not find the skull of the skeleton, which surprised him very much.

"What's wrong?" Qi Dapeng, who was standing on the side, looked around with a deep brow, and then walked over and asked

Zhang Ling lowered his head and said, "My head is gone, I don't know where the bombing went!" ”

"Is that the one?" Qi Dapeng asked, pointing to a little green light in the corner of the dark corridor

Zhang Ling looked in the direction of his finger and saw a faint green light on the side of an antique vase in the corridor, which was really not easy to find if he didn't look carefully.

Zhang Ling trotted all the way to the vase, and at this time, the broken skull was stuck in the corner of the vase, and the empty eye sockets flashed with a fluttering green light.

When Zhang Ling bent down to pick up the skull, the two points of green light that flickered in his eye sockets flickered twice like candles and then went out.

He took the skull and walked back to Qi Dapeng and the others, and carefully looked at the skull, which was already somewhat decayed, and he was surprised to find that there was a Dharma seal written by the skull on the back of the skull.

Zhang Ling couldn't understand the content of this Dharma seal at all, which was completely different from the Taoist Dharma seal he was familiar with.

He gently stroked the seal engraved on the skull with his fingers, and immediately an extremely cold feeling hit his whole body, and he was startled in his heart, and hurriedly removed his fingers from the seal.

At this time, Lu Mingxuan, who was standing aside, saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, bring your phone, I found the inscription!"

Lu Mingxuan walked to Zhang Ling's side with Dong Ziqing's mobile phone and pointed the camera at the magic seal on the skull.

At this time, Dong Ziqing's live broadcast room has poured into many Zhang Ling's fans, and the few ** silks who have been teasing Dong Ziqing looked at the crowd that poured in instantly and sent a message: "What's the situation? What the hell is going on? Who are these teasers? ”

"Shut up, second goods, I don't even know what's live here, hurry up and get out!"

"That's it, get out of here, don't stay here!"

"Xiao Lulu, kick these idlers out!"

"Ahh......h

"Master, what kind of seal is this, it's so strange to say, what just happened?"

“……”

The chaotic barrage instantly squeezed out Mingkong's reply, which made Zhang Ling suddenly helpless.

He motioned to Lu Mingxuan to turn off the live broadcast, and then dialed Mingkong's phone, and as soon as the call came, it was answered over there.

"Hey, Mingkong senior, what the hell is this magic seal?"

"I saw this seal once, it was the ghost old man who gave it to me, he told me that this is an extremely ancient law seal, which can be traced back to the early days of Taoism, and the content of this law seal is not even known to the ghost old man, he only knows that this thing is called a ghost seal!"

"Ghost marks?"

"Yes, the old ghost told me that he once saw such skeleton guards in a feathering cave, and they had this magic seal on their bodies!"

"Feather Cave?" Zhang Ling was already confused by Mingkong's words

"It's the cave where cultivators feather and ascend!"

"What? How can a monastic person do such a thing? Zhang Ling exclaimed in surprise, he had always felt that digging graves should not be something that a cultivator should do.

"Well...... The old ghost is not a man of the Daomen, his origin is very mysterious, I asked him a few times, but he was silent. ”

After listening to Mingkong's explanation, Zhang Ling also fell silent silently, and now he is becoming more and more curious about the origin of the ghost Taoist.

"Oh no, Brother Zhang, Xinyu is gone!"

Just when Zhang Ling was silent with the phone, Rong Zilong's voice came into his ears.

When he looked back, he saw Rong Zilong running down the stairs in a panic with a note.

At this time, Dong Ziqing also walked out of the room, Lu Mingxuan was accompanying her to ask about her situation, as soon as she heard that Tan Xinyu was gone, she immediately came over and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Rong Zilong handed the note in his hand to Zhang Ling, looked at Dong Ziqing and said, "No, I don't know, when I just went down to look for her, I found that there was only Lucy's body and this note in the kitchen, and Xinyu was gone!" ”

Zhang Ling unfolded the note and looked at it, and saw that it read: "Go home for thousands of miles and die without a grave." ”

Zhang Ling knew that this was a sentence from "Qu Yuan's Temple Fu" written by Su Shi, which meant the miserable situation when Qu Yuan was exiled, but what did the person who took Tan Xinyu mean by leaving this poem?

He groaned for a while and said, "Zilong, where are your father-in-law and Grandpa Tan?" ”

"They are all in the hospital, there are only me, my sister and Xinyu at home, and two servants, but they are all dead, and Xinyu is gone......"

Zhang Ling patted Rong Zilong's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, I will help you get Xinyu back, you deal with the aftermath with Brother Peng first, I need to talk to Grandpa Tan, which hospital are they in?!" ”

"Wilson Memorial Hospital, I'll write you the address!"

"Okay!"

After getting the address of the hospital, Zhang Ling asked Qi Dapeng to help deal with the aftermath, and then walked up to Dong Ziqing, who was shocked, and said, "Ziqing, you have a good rest, and leave the rest to us!" ”

"I'm going with you!" Dong Ziqing rejected Zhang Ling's proposal, and she looked at Zhang Ling with firm eyes.

"Well, since you want to go, let's go together!" Zhang Ling didn't say anything when he saw that she was resolute.

Dong Ziqing went back to the room to change her clothes, and when she came out of the room again, her face was no longer flustered before, but replaced by a touch of strength!

"Brother Zhang, I'm ready!"

"Okay, let's go!"

……

Leaving the Tan family's manor, Lu Mingxuan drove straight to Wilson Memorial Hospital.

Zhang Ling, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, looked at Lu Mingxuan, who was driving, and asked, "Hey, I said do you know the road?" ”

"Can't you see? Navigation! Lu Mingxuan knocked on the car navigation on the center console and said with a disdainful face

Zhang Ling glanced at the navigation full of English, pursed his lips, turned his head to the window, and the poem on the note came to his mind again: "Go home for thousands of miles and die without a grave." ”

"What does this mean exactly? What's the matter with that skeleton? Who took Tan Xinyu away? ”

These questions lingered in Zhang Ling's mind, and perhaps the answer to all this was in Old Man Tan's heart.

After a long time, a modern building appeared in Zhang Ling's sight, and a large cross hung on the roof of the building told him that they had reached their destination.

Lu Mingxuan parked the car in the parking lot, and the three of them got out of the car and walked to the gate of the hospital, it was ten midnight at this time, and there were not many people in the hospital.

Zhang Ling and the others walked through the silent corridor and took the elevator to the VIP ward where Old Man Tan lived.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, Zhang Ling saw Tan Yaoting standing in the corridor in a daze, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand, looking at the night outside the window, his eyes were full of confusion.

Zhang Ling looked at Dong Ziqing beside him and nodded at her, Dong Ziqing walked behind Tan Yaoting and said softly, "Uncle Tan!" ”

"Huh? Ziqing, why are you here? Who are these people? ”

Dong Ziqing's voice seemed to scare Tan Yaoting, he turned around nervously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Dong Ziqing standing behind him.

"Uncle Tan, these two are my friends, Zhang Ling and Lu Mingxuan! They help! ”

"Help? How can it help? Tan Yaoting glanced at Zhang Ling and the others in some surprise, not knowing what Dong Ziqing meant.

Dong Ziqing was silent for a while and then said softly: "Uncle Tan, Xinyu is missing!" ”

"What? Xinyu is missing? When did it happen? Tan Yaoting immediately nervously grabbed Dong Ziqing's weak shoulders and asked excitedly

Zhang Ling walked up to Tan Yaoting, took out the note in his pocket, handed it to him, and said, "The person who took her left this!" ”

Tan Yaoting took the note and glanced at it, but just this glance made the calm man tremble in fright, and he looked at the note in his hand in horror and his face turned as pale as paper.

Looking at Tan Yaoting's reaction, Zhang Ling immediately asked, "Does Mr. Tan know who took your daughter?" ”

"No, I don't know!"

"Huh?"

Zhang Ling frowned when he heard Tan Yaoting's answer, and said in his heart: "What does he know, why would he deny it, what kind of secret will make him even ignore the safety of his daughter!" ”

As soon as Tan Yaoting looked up, he saw Zhang Ling looking at him with questioning eyes, and he immediately explained: "No, Mr. Zhang, you misunderstood what I meant, I said I don't know, I don't know who will take my daughter, but the matter of this note ...... I know! ”

"What does that mean?"

Zhang Ling was completely stunned by Tan Yaoting's words, shouldn't the person who took his daughter be the same thing as this note?

Tan Yaoting sighed when he saw Zhang Ling's puzzled face: "Hey, this matter is related to the disgraceful past of my Tan family, my father only told me part of it, if you want to know the ins and outs of the matter, I'm afraid you can only wait for my father to wake up!" ”

Now Zhang Ling is dumbfounded, waiting for Old Man Tan to wake up? The old man was so strongly stimulated that it was impossible to say whether he would wake up or not.

"Mr. Tan, the current tense is very urgent, your daughter may be in danger at any time, do you think about any other clues?"

Tan Yaoting shook his head blankly and said, "I really don't know anything, why don't I be in a hurry if Xinyu is arrested." ”

"But about this note, my father just told me that when I saw this note, it was when the Tan family was in great trouble, and as for other things, I asked my father, but my father just refused to tell me, just said that he did something wrong back then!"

After listening to Tan Yaoting's words, Zhang Ling was silent for a while and said, "Then can you take me to meet Mr. Tan?" ”

"Well, this is okay, please come with me!"

Under the guidance of Tan Yaoting, the three of them came to the ward of Old Man Tan, and Tan Yaoting gently pushed open the door and let the three of them into the ward.

Zhang Ling walked into the ward and saw the old man Tan lying on the hospital bed with tubes all over his body, his originally ruddy face had turned sallow at the moment, and he was afraid that time was running out.

"What did the doctor say?" Zhang Ling looked at Tan Yaoting and asked

Tan Yaoting sighed and said, "It's not good, I'm afraid it's just a matter of the past two days!" ”

"What can I do? Brother Zhang, think of a way! Dong Ziqing was also anxious at the moment, although she didn't get along with Tan Xinyu for a long time, she really liked this gentle and kind girl.

"Don't worry, let me think!" Zhang Ling looked at the old man lying on the bed and groaned.

Time passed minute by minute, Zhang Ling kept pacing in the room, and when he turned for the first time, he stood down and said, "I have a way!" ”

"What's the solution?" Dong Ziqing and Tan Yaoting asked in unison

"There is a kind of Dao talisman called the Dream Talisman, which can enter the memories of others through the talisman, just like entering a dream!"

Tan Yaoting immediately asked, "Then what's the danger of this method?" ”

Zhang Ling nodded: "It is a very dangerous thing to enter other people's memories, and if we are not careful, we will get lost in them, so we must have a specific thing as a guide to find the memory we want to see." ”

"Something specific?"

"yes, anything related to that memory!"

After hearing this, Tan Yaoting lowered his head and thought about it, and after a while, he raised his head sharply and said, "I remember, I once saw an old photo, which was a photo of my father and another man, but the photo was so old that I couldn't see the man's appearance clearly!" ”

"Are you sure that picture has anything to do with what we're looking after?" Zhang Ling asked suspiciously

"Well, it should be, because I can always see my father sighing at that picture!"

"Where's that picture?"

"At home!"

"Okay, then trouble Mr. Tan to take that photo, and I'll draw a dream talisman!"

Tan Yaoting nodded, turned around and walked out of the room, and after he left, Lu Mingxuan asked with some concern: "Lao Zhang, are you sure that your method is feasible?" ”

"Well, there is only this way at present, and if it drags on, I'm afraid that Old Man Tan will ......."

"But don't you have access to the ghost's memory?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ling shook his head and said: "No, after death, the soul is scattered, so the memories are all fragments, and it is too difficult to find useful information in these fragments!" So, that's the only way to go! (To be continued.) )
