Chapter 153: Blood Jade
Like Shen Pengju, Shen Qi's body was also lying there on his back, with his hands crossed on his chest.
Most obviously, a long trail of blood ran down his arm, all the way up to it.
Even the lime shell was stained with a blood-colored liquid.
The liquid finally gathered in front of the stone statue's one-eyed and flowed out, which is what we see as blood and tears.
Shen Qi has been dead for hundreds of years, and there is no blood in his body.
Seeing those liquids, even Qu Qian became very nervous.
He glanced at Wu Shaohong, who nodded towards him.
Qu Qian gently grabbed Shen Qi's palm at this time. His palms were tightly clasped together.
Qu Qian parted his palm, and everyone realized that in his palm, he was holding an ancient jade about the size of a copper coin.
The ancient jade was blood-red, and the liquid seemed to flow out of the ancient jade.
The most conspicuous thing is that on the surface of the ancient jade, there is a fox-like pattern engraved.
The fox had three tails, similar to the fox spirits we had seen in the burial chamber.
Just as Qu Qian picked up the ancient jade from Shen Qi's hand, suddenly a vague cry came from a distance.
Hearing the shouts, one of the villagers whispered, "There are ghosts! ”
I've heard this sound before, it's the cry of a fox spirit.
Looking in the direction from which the cry came, I saw the fox spirit standing on top of the mountain bag in the distance.
It stared at the corpse with amber eyes.
"That's right." A look of surprise appeared on Qu Gan's face, "With this piece of blood jade in hand, things will be easy to handle." ”
The blood jade was engraved with the pattern of a fox spirit, and there must be some kind of connection between them.
Qu Qian put away the blood jade and said to Wu Shaohong, "The blood jade belongs to the cold nature, and the water vapor gathers on the blood jade, and when it is cold, it forms water droplets, because there are many years, the water droplets gather more and more, and flow out along the eyes of the stone statue." ”
He explained that there was some truth.
Qu Qian stood up and instructed Fu Guochen, "According to the agreement, make a new stone statue for them, and then bury Shen Qi's body." Either way, he was once the leader of the Ghostface Alliance, and we need to respect him a little. ”
Fu Guochen agreed, and then instructed his subordinates to do the same.
Qu Qian didn't have to worry about the rest at all, he was very satisfied with his subordinates and walked towards the way he came.
As he passed in front of me, he deliberately turned his head to look at me.
His eyes were weird, and there was a hint of provocation in them.
But what I'm more concerned about is what the use of that piece of blood jade is, and what does it have to do with the three-tailed spirit fox.
They got into the car one after another, and the car drove away with a cloud of smoke and dust.
Since the Qu family also came to Hetu, then Hetu should be nearby.
As long as we quietly follow them, we can achieve our goal.
I felt a little more relaxed, but trying to snatch Hetu from the Qu family was almost like pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.
When we returned to the town, we found that the Qu family's vehicles were parked outside the hotel.
They stayed in the same hotel as us.
It was no surprise as we stayed in the best guesthouse in town.
The Qu family is more particular, and of course they will not go to live anywhere else.
We met with Qu Qian, and for fear of attracting his attention, we deliberately returned to the hotel very late.
Then he changed his mask so that there were no flaws at all.
We are closely following the movements of the Qu family.
In the middle of the night, I heard the sound of soft footsteps.
I quickly got out of bed and walked over to the window.
Qu Qian and Wu Shaohong had already led people out of the hotel.
This time they didn't drive, but walked straight outside the village.
They only had five or six people with them, and it seemed that the operation was extremely secretive.
His subordinates were personally selected by Qu Qian, and their strength was relatively strong.
Zhao Yufan and I also quietly came out of the hotel and followed them from a distance.
I heard Qu Qianzheng say, "The spirit fox appeared near the stone statue during the day, and this piece of blood jade will definitely be able to lure it out." Only the Spirit Fox can lead us to the location of the river map. ”
Hearing his words, I suddenly understood that the spirit fox had told me that in addition to guarding Shen Pengju's cemetery, it also had another mission.
Does it have anything to do with Hetu?
The Qu family really knows much more than I do.
The reason why they were so careful was because they knew that the people of the other major families must be paying close attention to their movements.
For Hetu, several other major families are also determined to win.
I looked around, and there was no one else around.
By this time, they had already reached the place where the stone statue was.
It was cleaned up, the statue had been pulled away, and the new statue had not yet been made.
Even Shen Qi's body was buried in a coffin by them.
Qu Qian and the others stopped, and he took out a red rope from his arms.
The red rope was about a few zhang long, and he wrapped the red rope around the original site of the stone statue.
He was careful to cover the red rope with dirt and leave no trace of it.
He said to Wu Shaohong, "The three-tailed spirit fox is extremely cunning, and it is very difficult to deceive it, and it can't be let see the flaws. ”
Wu Shaohong came over to help, and they cleaned up all the footprints.
Only then did Qu Qian take out the blood jade and throw it into the rope array.
With a bang, the blood jade just landed in the center of the red rope.
It gives me the feeling that they have set up a magic circle, and they plan to use it to control the spirit fox.
Qu Qian said to Wu Shaohong, "The Spirit Fox's natal true yuan is linked to the blood jade, as long as the blood jade is there, it can't leave." Only by destroying the Blood Jade can it completely regain its freedom. ”
Only then did I know that there was such a relationship between Blood Jade and Spirit Fox.
After saying that, they all hid in the bushes without moving.
By this time, it was already the middle of the night, and the night wind was blowing, and the trees made a rattling sound and swayed with the wind.
They were all very calm, and no one spoke. Zhao Yufan and I hid farther away.
After more than an hour, suddenly the sound of non-existent screams came again.
Qu Qian's expression became very solemn.
The three-tailed spirit fox is extremely cunning, if it can't succeed this time, it will be almost impossible to find it again.
Qu Qian and the others bowed down. Feeling the breath of the natal true element, Linghu will definitely not give up this opportunity.
With a rustling sound, a white figure slowly walked towards this side.
The silvery-white fur is unusually conspicuous in the night.
It stopped a few feet away from the blood jade, its eyes radiating green light, and looked around.
Seeing that there was no movement, it took a few steps towards the blood jade very carefully.
Qu Qian and the others all held their breath, staring at the three-tailed spirit fox without blinking.
The spirit fox squatted a foot away from the rope array, and it seemed to have a very bad premonition, hesitating whether to go over or not.
According to Qu Qian, the function of blood jade is somewhat similar to that of the Violent Beast Circle.
No matter what the situation is, the spirit fox can't be too far away from the natal true element, otherwise he will lose his life immediately.
Blood jade is a very important thing for it.
It tentatively approached the rope array.
It's just that it's very slow, barely advancing some distance, and has to crouch down and wait for a long time.
Qu Qian and the others were already mentally prepared, they were very patient, and they were still lying there.
It finally reached the Blood Jade, opened its mouth and bit at the Blood Jade.
As long as the blood jade is bitten to pieces, it will be completely free.
But before its mouth could touch the blood jade, Qu Qian quickly pinched the magic trick, and at the same time, red light flashed out from the rope array.
Around the blood jade, the area within a radius of about three zhang was shrouded in red rays.
The spirit fox's body shook, and it no longer cared about the blood jade, but rushed directly towards the outside of the rope array.
As soon as its body touched the red ray, it was shocked backwards.
Seeing that Linghu had finally entered the trap, Qu Qian and the others came out of their hiding place.
Linghu stared at Qu Qian and the others with wide eyes, uneasily.
Qu Qian said coldly, "You obediently led us to find Hetu, maybe I will consider restoring your freedom." ”
Linghu snorted, and the ventriloquist came out, "Don't try to force me in this way. I'm not going to let you greedy guys go there. ”
"Since you're stubborn, you've been trapped in it all the time!"
Qu Qian's arm waved, and the red mangs shrouded the spirit fox like a big net.
The spirit fox shook its tail, and its long tail was like a soft whip, heading towards the red mang.
With a bang, the tail of the spirit fox quickly retracted as if it had been burned by fire.
At the same time, white hairs fell like raindrops.
The spirit fox is very strong, and even Zhao Yufan can barely resist its attack.
But this kind of magic circle is specially designed to restrain it. It is almost impossible to fall into the formation and try to get out again.
It didn't want to just throw in the towel, and its tail kept blasting towards the rope array.
There was a bang, and even the ground trembled.
