Chapter 246: The Destruction of the Blood Altar
Someone saw Zhang Peony leave Zhang's mansion and was picked up by a carriage, Zhang Jirin asked Feng Ming and the others to secretly stare at it, and the focus was still on Lotus Village.
Zhang Peony jumped down from the carriage and looked around uneasily, this was a two-entry courtyard, Zhang Peony knew that this was still in the capital, and did not leave.
"Sister Peony." Entering the courtyard, Yu Mingyue stood under the eaves not far away. Yu Mingyue did not wear white clothes this time, but passed on a cyan shirt.
"Okay, it's you, why did you hurt me last time!" Zhang Mudan walked to Yu Mingyue's side in three or two steps and said loudly.
"Sister Peony, I don't know what you mean." Yu Mingyue looked at Zhang Peony with an innocent face.
"You don't know? Aren't those two people fighting ......" Zhang Mudan said bluntly.
"Sister Peony, is it true that in your heart, I am such a person? I just wanted to help you. Yu Mingyue pursed her lips and said.
"But...... This incident made Brother Ji Rin ......" Zhang Peony thought of the angry Zhang Jirin, and his heart straightened.
"You live here in peace first, and after a while, your cousin's anger is gone, you just go back." Yu Mingyue clapped her hands and said with a smile.
Because of that incident, Zhang Peony was taken care of by Zhang Jirin, who knew that suddenly a maid named Xiaomei came to the outside of Zhang Peony's room and told Zhang Peony to go to the backyard at three o'clock, and someone would take her out.
Zhang Mudan agreed without thinking about it, staying in the house, Zhang Mudan was still a little scared, she didn't know why Liu Meiniang was hit so much, Zhang Jirin cared so much.
When he returned to the room, he casually packed a few valuable things on his body, told Shuangxi that he was going to the thatched house, and then sneaked out.
But after sitting in the carriage, Zhang Peony had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly understood something.
Liu Meiniang was pregnant, so when Liu Meiniang was pushed down, Zhang Jirin cared so much, and then thinking about the reactions of the people in the house and Zhang Li after living in the mansion for so many days, Zhang Peony felt that she was the truth.
Originally, Liu Meiniang's pregnancy was not publicized by the whole Zhang Mansion, and after Zhang Peony entered the mansion, no one specifically told Zhang Peony about Liu Meiniang's pregnancy.
And Zhang Peony's mind has always been on Xue Wuyi, so naturally he will not deliberately understand, before leaving Zhang's Mansion, Zhang Peony has figured out this matter, and his heart to leave Zhang's Mansion is becoming more and more determined.
Seeing Yu Mingyue, Zhang Peony stepped forward to ask, stayed in the capital for a few days, Zhang Peony also slowly understood some human feelings, this time, if Yu Mingyue hadn't asked her to take Liu Meiniang to the jewelry shop, there would have been no such thing.
However, Zhang Mudan was deceived by Yu Mingyue in a few words, and really believed that this matter was just a coincidence from beginning to end.
"Why are you helping me?" Zhang Peony asked while sitting on a chair.
"Didn't I say that? When I first saw Sister Peony, I felt that there was an eye. I don't have a sister, so I want to treat my sister Peony as a parent. Yu Mingyue stepped forward and held Zhang Peony's hand, smiling like a spring breeze.
"Okay then." Such words were very useful to Zhang Peony, and he didn't think much about it anymore, and really believed Yu Mingyue's words.
Yu Mingyue told Zhang Peony to rest well and then went out of the yard.
"Holy Maiden, why are we ......" Qing'er turned her head to look at Zhang Peony, who was still drinking tea in the flower hall, and asked puzzledly. This Zhang Peony, I really don't know why the saint contacted her again and again, and even rescued her.
"Naturally it's useful, she's so stupid, it's a good thing for us." Yu Mingyue put on a veil and said calmly.
Qing'er nodded, although she didn't understand what Yu Mingyue meant, but she didn't ask any more.
"Master, Zhang Peony was taken away by Yu Mingyue's people." Feng Ming came in and hugged his fists and said.
"yes, I see." Before that, Zhang Jilin also guessed, and now it is completely certain.
"Master, shall we bring her back?" Feng Ming asked.
"Don't worry about it for now, let's see what the hell Yu Mingyue wants to do." Zhang Jilin said in a deep voice.
"Master, by the way, She Ning asked me to ask, if he can go with him when he goes to Lotus Village tomorrow." Feng Ming said.
"You can arrange this matter, She Ning is definitely going to take a look." Zhang Jilin put the fold in his hand in its original position and said.
"Yes, master." Feng Ming took the order.
The next day, Zhang Jilin and the others set off together, and She Ning was still the same, wearing a cloak and couldn't see his face clearly.
"Master, we've checked all the places around here, and we haven't found any clues."
Kaiyang saw Zhang Jirin coming over, and took the lead in stepping forward to tell them what happened yesterday.
She Ning had already gone to see the altar, Zhang Jilin fell into deep thought, these people are missing in large numbers, it stands to reason that it is impossible to go far, Feng Ming also said, the altar has not yet taken shape, those villagers should not have been made into puppets, they must not go far, they should be somewhere around, but where is it?
She Ning went to the side of the altar, the altar was destroyed by Zhang Jirin's palm that day, She Ning had to admit that Zhang Jilin did a good job, this altar, as long as it exists, it can always be effective, if Zhang Jilin does not destroy it, in just a few days, the altar does not know how many people's blood will be stained and how many people will be harmed.
However, after She Ning took a closer look, he found that something was not quite right, in order for the blood altar to be effective, it must be constantly sacrificed to the blood of the heart of a living person, and a person's heart can generally only be used for five days, it stands to reason that it has been almost two months since the discovery of the vision in Lotus Village, but the blood on the altar is very light, as if it is a new altar, which makes She Ning a little confused.
"She Ning, the dog is coming, let's hide first." After thinking about it, Feng Ming came over and grabbed She Ning, the group of strange dogs before didn't know why they came back again, so they had to hide first.
She Ning's eyes widened when she saw the dog.
"This ......," She Ning wanted to say but stopped.
"What's wrong?" Feng Ming asked.
"It's a blood dog, I've seen it." She Ning's voice trembled a little, as if she remembered something terrifying.
"What is a blood dog?" Rao is Fengming has never heard of this word.
She Ning saw this thing in a secret room in southern Xinjiang a few years ago, when She Ning was still the eldest son of the She family, and it was prosperous, and this blood dog was kept in the secret room by a wizard in southern Xinjiang.
The wizard told She Ning that raising this kind of dog will give them human flesh and human blood since childhood, and the dog will slowly mutate when it grows up, such a dog is more lethal than a wolf, but it is more obedient and easy to domesticate than a wolf, and together with the puppet, it is simply an invincible existence on the battlefield.
But that wizard is not a bad person, he has a blood dog in his secret room, he also thinks that this kind of thing is hurtful, so he just raised an observation, the wizard type of person, a lot of things are slowly groped to discover, they will have some skills that seem mysterious to outsiders, in fact, they are their own experience little by little.
Unexpectedly, here, She Ning actually saw so many blood dogs, could it be that the wizard who raised blood dogs in the first place broke his trust and passed on the method of raising blood dogs?
There is nothing to study on the altar side, this is the Blood Altar, now it has been destroyed by Zhang Jirin, it should be fine, now the more urgent thing is to quickly find out those missing villagers, the altar is gone, there is no longer a need for living sacrifices, those villagers will not be able to become puppets for a while, now find out, She Ning can still save them.
As for the blood dog, She Ning just went back and used the poison directly. But this poison has to be prepared by yourself.
She Ning and Feng Ming left from the altar and quickly kept up with Zhang Jirin's pace.
Zhang Jirin was taking Kaiyang and a few people up the mountain.
"Master, why should we go up the mountain instead of following the stream?" Tianxuan was a little puzzled, with their daily experience, generally at this time, a large number of people are missing, they will go along the water source to find, so many people, it is impossible for all of them to be transported away, the only explanation is that they are controlled, and then follow themselves, water is the source of life, no matter what, people want to drink water, so when they came to check the surrounding environment yesterday, they all took the stream as the center, and went down the stream to find clues, but I didn't expect Zhang Jilin to directly choose a mountain, and took them up the mountain without saying a word.
Not only Feng Ming, but even Tianheng, who has always been flexible, was a little unsure of what Zhang Jilin meant.
"You see us all the way up, what's strange about this mountain?" Zhang Jirin stopped and asked.
"Oddity?" Tianxuan scratched her head and looked left and right.
"The grass on the side of the road is poured on both sides." She Ning's voice sounded from behind.
Everyone is a smart person, She Ning said this, what else don't you understand, only someone passes by the mountain, and these grasses will fall down horizontally because of others' trampling.
Since there are traces of people passing by on this mountain, Zhang Jirin naturally started from this mountain first.
Several people nodded and walked up the hill vigilantly.
Walking through a mountain nest, Zhang Jilin stopped.
"Look, over there." Zhang Jilin pointed to a place, and everyone looked at the place where Zhang Jilin pointed to it, and there was a place in the middle of the mountain that was shrouded in fog.
"Hey, why is it still foggy over there at noon, isn't it going to rain?" Tianxuan was straightforward and said the doubts in his heart, and he reacted as soon as he finished speaking.
It's noon, and it hasn't rained in Lotus Village in recent days, and it's halfway up the mountain, so how can you still see fog here.
"Let's go." Zhang Jirin whispered, and several people quickly followed, walking towards the place of the fog.
I don't know how long I walked, and sure enough, a few people came to the place shrouded in fog, and saw that there was a flat slope surrounded by a fence in front of them.
There are many places in the mountains that are like this, some are halfway up the mountain, some are on the top of the mountain, and if you don't deliberately look for this place, this kind of terrain is really not easy to be found by others.
"Those missing villagers should be locked up here." Kaiyang knew it in his heart.
Several people looked at each other.
"Master, I'll go in and have a look." Tianheng was the first to ask for help. Tianji went to the barracks, and among the rest of the people, Tianheng's light skills were the best.
Seeing that Zhang Jirin didn't speak, Tianheng was a little anxious.
"I'll go in, and you'll wait here." Zhang Jirin shook his head and rejected Tianheng's request.
"Master, I don't know what danger is inside, you can't go." Kaiyang directly stopped Zhang Jirin.
"Yes, master, let's go check it out, you just wait here." Tianxuan also hurriedly said.
Zhang Jilin is like this every time, he will rush to the first one when he has anything, whether it is on the battlefield or when he encounters something in peacetime, if it is not for Zhang Jilin like this, they will not follow Zhang Jilin with all their hearts.
"I'll go." Everyone was still arguing, She Ning said lightly.
