Chapter 60: Don't let go of any of them Add more to the recommendation vote
There was a gust of wind in the ground, and the golden leaves on the golden tree that had been obedient fluttered with the wind, and exploded in an instant, startling me.
It felt like a feral cat bursting its tail in anger.
I grabbed my neckline in horror and stared intently at the golden tree, a little confused in my head.
Golden Tree, Golden Tree?
In the shopping mall with a patio, a golden tree is often placed in it, one is to fill the gap of that piece, and the other is that the meaning of the golden tree is particularly good, attracting wealth and treasure, but those golden trees are fake, they are handicrafts, and they will not be so high.
This is a nineteen-story building, what is the purpose of making such a tall golden tree go up to the floor of the nineteenth floor, and it is connected to the offering table?
I couldn't figure it out before, but now I suddenly understand something, these golden leaves suddenly exploded straight in all directions from a soft lying state, isn't it very like a succulent plant that has been shelved for a long time, after being extremely short of water, it will absorb water in a short period of time?
It's like a power station, drawing offerings from the nineteenth floor and feeding them underground through this golden tree.
Why do you need this golden tree? That's because the thing underneath is suppressed.
Before the building was built, the boss must have found someone to see the feng shui, and then a large cart of sand and gravel was filled down, essentially suppressing the thing underground, and they should have made some kind of seal to block the upper layer from connecting with the underground earth.
But the purpose of the construction of this building is to gather the yin spirits, not grounded, the yin spirits are trapped in this building, and in the long run, the yin qi is pressing, forming an extremely evil place, which is a feng shui taboo.
So there is this golden tree, if I guess correctly, this is not a fake tree, the main pole is real, the golden leaf is fake, because it is invaded by the evil spirit, this tree can't produce new leaves, but it is constantly supplied with nutrients, and it can't die.
A tree that does not grow leaves and does not lack nutrients, how will it grow?
Of course, it grows downwards and expands the rhizome, and the deeper the roots of the tree, the more widely the roots are dispersed, and the more the evil energy can spread to the ground.
What's underneath the ground? There is the thing that is suppressed, no matter what is enshrined above, it can absorb it, and it will not make waves without stopping to worship and nourish it.
This is the key to the whole project of Fairview Homes.
The foundation that the Lu Group didn't dare to move back then, why can this boss move? The mystery is here.
But he didn't understand a truth, paper can't contain fire after all, such a means of profit will be exposed one day, and the dilemma he will face may be unbearable for him at that time.
However, for a person like him, someone must have thought of a way out for him at the beginning, and while the ghost door was open tonight, maybe he would make a huge move to help him.
What will it be like?
I was standing still, completely immersed in my own world, even forgetting about the potential dangers around me.
When a hand slammed on my shoulder, it was only for a moment that my scalp was numb, and I mustered up the courage to look back, only to see a black shadow disappearing into the white mist.
I immediately tried to follow, but after taking two steps, I stopped.
No, I can't go anywhere.
There are only so many living people entering this building, and almost all of them are on the nineteenth floor, and now there is only one person who can move freely in this building except me - the boss.
Where does he want to take me?
No matter what he does now, it won't be a good thing, and I can't be led by the nose by him.
The ghosts inside the building were pessimistic, they were ready to be destroyed tonight, and after twelve o'clock in the night, they would be sacrificed.
What I'm most afraid of now is that when those ghosts can't satisfy it, what will happen if its claws reach out to the group of people on the nineteenth floor who are now staying?
This is a very high possibility.
I can't do anything else, but there's one thing I have to do.
I pulled out the short whip and pressed the ruby button, and the short whip instantly became a long whip, and the barbs were erected, and I flicked the long whip and threw it towards the golden tree.
At that time, my idea was to cut off the connection between the Golden Tree and the nineteenth floor, so that at least the people on the nineteenth floor could be saved.
But I was too naΓ―ve to ignore my own ability, and when the long whip flung over, it made a sound through the air, causing a large piece of golden leaf to make a crisp sound, and then, a powerful air flow backlashed back, and I only felt a cold air crashing towards my heart, and my whole body flew into the air, quickly hitting the wall behind me.
The whip in my hand recoiled back, and the barbs sank into the wall, and if I hadn't let go of my grip on it, causing it to slide sideways, some of the steel spikes would have pierced into my flesh.
My throat was fishy, my back hurt, and even my internal organs were shaken to the point that they were shattered, so I endured all the discomfort and got up, and immediately put the long whip back in my hand, my back against the wall, and stared at the golden tree vigilantly.
It's alive, it's not something I can destroy if I want, I should have thought of it, but I'm still so self-conscious.
How helpless I was at that moment, even I couldn't tell myself, I was not only worried about myself, but also worried about the lives of the dozens of people on the nineteenth floor.
I brought them in, and if I can't bring them out safely, what will happen to those who are waiting outside?
Just as I was thinking about this, the elevator on one side stopped with a ding-dong, the elevator door was open, and there was a person squatting in the innermost part.
The man was tied up, covered in blood, stuffed with something in his mouth, and screamed at me in despair.
I could make out that he was the one who had come in with us, and that something was wrong on the nineteenth floor.
I suddenly realized that the black shadow just now might be taking me back to the nineteenth floor, because I was with everyone before, and it was the group of souls who did their best to send me out, and gave me my last wish.
And now he's forcing me, forcing me to go back to the nineteenth floor, and if I don't go back, one victim after another will have an accident, but if I go back, the end will be all of us dying together.
He won't let go of any of them!
But what I don't understand is that there are so many people on the nineteenth floor, and the boss has a beer belly Mediterranean, at first glance, he is not a practitioner, how did he control so many people?
The guy in the elevator kept shaking his head at me, his eyes were full of fear, and he was warning me.
At this time, in fact, everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, they all know that the chances of us being able to go out tonight are very small, and everyone is a kind person, and they all hope to run away from one by one.
The elevator drove quietly there, waiting for me to make a decision, and it was equally torturous for me to return or not, just when I hesitated, the elevator shook suddenly, and then, as if in free fall, the whole thing fell down.
When I rushed over to look down, I couldn't see the elevator anymore, and my heart was pounding, and I almost cried.
Then, the elevator slowly ran up again, I covered my mouth and waited silently, until the elevator stopped in front of me again, and when the elevator door opened, it was empty, leaving only a puddle of dark red blood.
It's waiting for me, and if I don't go up this time, there will be a second or third person who will have an accident next, and the other party won't give me a chance to choose at all.
As soon as I closed my eyes and my heart was sideways, I lifted my feet and walked towards the elevator, I knew that I was killing myself, but I couldn't help it.
I can't afford to watch another life die.
The elevator door closed, started, went up, and I closed my eyes in agony.
But the elevator didn't run for long, more than ten seconds, suddenly stopped, I thought the elevator would want to fall uncontrollably like just now, but no, but the elevator door opened, and a hand reached in from outside, pulling me out hard.
Everything happened so fast that my whole mind went blank, and the next moment I was hugged tightly.
"It's okay, you're still alive."
When I heard Lu Mingchuan's voice, I subconsciously pushed him away, and I was a little disappointed for no reason, I thought ......
Lu Mingchuan realized that he had overdistanced, smiled embarrassedly, took my hand and said, "I'll take you out." β
"How did you get in?" I didn't move, asked him.
Lu Mingchuan couldn't have come in alone, he didn't have that much ability to come here.
"As soon as you entered the building, I called that Lu Zhao, he came quickly and brought some people, you see." Lu Mingchuan said, pointing to the elevator door behind me.
I turned my head to look and saw a purple talisman on the elevator door.
Lu Wuye gave me a few purple runes, and I also brought two when I came out this time, but when I came downstairs from Geng Huainan's house, I didn't bring my backpack, and the purple runes were all in my bag.
"What about them?" I hurriedly asked, "Is it Lu Zhao who is in the lead?" β
Lu Mingchuan pointed to it: "The leader is not Lu Zhao, they call him the fifth master, and they all went up the stairs." β
Lu Wuye also came, I breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran towards the stairs as well.
Lu Mingchuan caught up and stopped me: "Bai Li, they asked me to take you downstairs directly, don't stay here." β
"I can't go." I'm categorical, although Lu Wuye and they are here, they don't know much about the current situation, besides, I finally waited for Lu Wuye to show up, how could I miss this opportunity to get along with him face-to-face?
Lu Mingchuan looked worried, and I dragged him to climb upstairs with me, because I understood that it was unrealistic to let him go downstairs alone.
As soon as we went up one floor, we met Lu Zhao, who glanced at the two of us and immediately decided, "I'll send you two downstairs." β
"I let her go, but she won't." Lu Mingchuan hurriedly explained.
Lu Zhao urged: "We will properly solve the matter here, you will only add chaos if you stay here, and it may not be peaceful outside tonight, let me go back and stay well, don't make trouble." β
"I'm not leaving." I said resolutely, "You send him downstairs first, a group of people on the nineteenth floor are waiting for me, and I have already found some clues, I want to discuss them with Lu Wuye." β
I held my head high, and I had a big meaning that I said, and Lu Zhao didn't want to talk to me more, so he forced Lu Mingchuan into the elevator.
Subsequently, I found that on this floor, there were not only Lu Zhao alone, but there were also three or four people running between the floors, all of whom should be the helpers they brought over, no wonder Lu Zhao dared to leave me alone.
Soon I met Lu Wuye, and the first thing he said when he saw me was: "Where is Lu Zhao?" β
"Sent my friend out." I replied.
"Then why don't you come along?" Fifth Master Lu frowned, "Nonsense." β
I didn't want to argue with them, I just asked, "Uncle Lu, what should the people on the nineteenth floor do?" β
"It's impossible for so many people to be sent out at once, we suddenly invaded, and the other party didn't react immediately, but it doesn't mean that they haven't made a move, there are a total of about 60 people on it, and it's too difficult to transfer." Lu Wuye analyzed.
I sighed: "This time this thing is really my fault, I shouldn't have made an assertion, but I didn't have anyone to ask for help, and I was forced to go to Liangshan." β
"It's not the time to talk about this, it's already half past eleven, and if we don't make any progress in the next half hour, we can only protect ourselves."
Fifth Master Lu's words shocked me all of a sudden: "Self-preservation? You mean, at the critical moment, we ran away, leaving those on the nineteenth floor to die? β
"This is the worst plan, and at that time, whether to stay or not to stay is simply not something we can do on our own." Lu Wuye said.
I groaned, very sad in my heart: "Everyone, including those ghosts, are sacrifices, there are things suppressed under this building, the ability is super powerful, it may be difficult to deal with, half an hour is definitely not enough." β
"Not necessarily." Lu Wuye said, "A hundred ordinary people are not as good as you, and their goals may have already been transferred to you." β
I was stunned, but I quickly understood what he meant, after all, I have something good in me, otherwise they wouldn't all revolve around me, it's just that I don't know where my advantage is.
Pubic eyes? Cultivation skills? Or is it the evil aura that I have in my body?
"Then exchange me for someone on the nineteenth floor." I said without hesitation, "Uncle Lu, there must be sacrifices tonight, and if my sacrifice can be exchanged for the lives of more than sixty people, I am willing." β
"Would you like what?" Lu Wuye's tone was angry, "You think that if you are willing, others will be able to do what you want, girl, what you think is too simple." β
"No, Uncle Lu, you're wrong, I'm not thinking too simply, I have 100% trust in your ability, you came, I felt that I was saved." I took the initiative to start patting on the back.
At this time, Lu Zhao came back, trotting to meet us, and I looked at Lu Zhao: "Lu Zhao, you start sending people on the nineteenth floor to the building now, how much can you send." β
"Huh?" Lu Zhao looked at me incredulously, then turned to look at Fifth Master Lu, and said uncertainly, "Fifth Master." β
I looked at Lu Wuye, blinking at him with a pair of eyes, spreading begging, I was betting.
After a while, Lu Wuye said: "Lu Zhao, take a few people, take the elevator, and send the people on the nineteenth floor out as quickly as possible, and properly protect everyone after they are sent outside." β
"Fifth Master ......" Lu Zhao was unwilling.
Lu Wuye's eyes were knifed at him, he immediately shrunk his neck, and resigned himself to his fate: "Okay, I know, we don't have to worry about it at all after the people are sent outside, the person surnamed Lu brought a group of people to surround the entire Splendid Home Community, and he is very capable." β
When I mentioned Lu Mingchuan, I immediately felt even more guilty in my heart, he shouldn't have been involved in this troubled water, but he was dragged in by me, if something happened to him, the Lu family would be able to peel me off.
Lu Zhao went to work, and their ways and deeds were not ordinary, so they were not as passive and difficult as I was before.
After Lu Zhao left, I pointed to the huge golden tree in the patio and said, "Uncle Lu, the key is here, as long as this tree is broken, all problems will be solved." β
"You're thinking too simply, there are some things that we can't just move." Lu Wuye waved his hand, "Girl, just protect yourself, and leave other things to me." β
Lu Wuye said, walking along the corridor with his hands behind his back, and I followed him step by step, and then I found that his subordinates were entering the rooms where the urns were stored and taking out the urns inside.
As the urns gathered in front of us, I gradually saw some ghosts gathered around us, each standing in front of their urn.
It's not all.
There were more than 50 urns in this building, but now there are fewer than 40 ghosts left.
Some of these disappeared ghosts may have disappeared, and some are still wandering, and after tonight, whether they can be left and whether the rest can be reincarnated is still a question.
It would be nice if we could survive tonight and follow the army of souls into the underworld before the ghost gate closes tomorrow night.
I couldn't help but ask Fifth Master Lu: "Uncle Lu, should these urns be sent out uniformly?" β
"It's not." Lu Wuye said, "The family members of these urns, when they bought these single rooms, signed contracts, those contracts are called yin-yang contracts, yin-yang deeds restrict them, before the yin-yang deeds are lifted, no matter where they are sent, it is inevitable that they must return here within a fixed period of time, so if you want to save them, you must first help them to lift this yin-yang contract." β
No wonder Mrs. Meng could go out for a stroll at night, but she had to return here at three o'clock, and she only dared to hint at Geng Huainan's family, but she didn't dare to say it directly, it turned out that this yin and yang contract was doing the trick.
Those yin-yang deeds must be in the hands of the boss, since he has set up this bureau, then the yin-yang deeds must be in this building.
I hurriedly said, "Uncle Lu, the culprit is in this building, catch him, and all problems will be solved." β
"We're running out of time, kid, it's not that simple." After Lu Wuye finished speaking, one of his subordinates came over and said softly, "Fifth Master, all the urns are here." β
"I see." Lu Wuye looked at the urns, paused for a while, and suddenly said, "Yang." β
My face immediately changed, and I asked in disbelief, "Uncle Lu, what did you say?" β
"I said I threw the ashes away." He repeated.
I immediately blocked in front of those urns: "No, Uncle Lu, these urns still carry the corresponding souls, they haven't left yet, you do this, let them live in the future?" β
"Is it important to be dead or alive?" Lu Wuye asked me rhetorically, "Now Lu Zhao is sending the people on the nineteenth floor out, leaving behind except for us people, it is these souls, once the time is up, these souls will be immediately controlled and sacrificed, and then they will not be able to live at all, they will only contribute to the other party's cultivation, and now the ashes are raised, or even ...... Let them self-destruct, it's all normal operation. β
I understand what Lu Wuye means, when the time comes, there will be no living people, no souls, all the offerings cannot be implemented, and the guy who is waiting to be enshrined will be annoyed and angry, and maybe there will be cannibalism at that time.
It is indeed a means of self-preservation, but these souls ......
"Do it." Lu Wuye issued an order again.
I couldn't help it, my mind was full of confusion, and I wanted to refuse, but I didn't have a position to refuse.
At this critical moment, sacrifice is inevitable, and there is nothing wrong with Lu Wuye's approach, but it is a little difficult to accept for us psychologically for a while.
Several of Lu Wuye's subordinates stepped forward and reached out to carry those urns, but the seemingly small urns seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and they couldn't move half a bit at all.
I said sadly, "They don't want to just leave, let's ......"
Before I finished speaking, I saw a few souls suddenly bend down, hold their urns, and then turn around, and about to throw the urn from the railing, such a height, the urn will definitely fall to pieces.
These people have died once, and this is the second time, but they want to destroy everything with their own hands, how cruel.
I turned my face away and didn't want to look, waiting for the sound of shattering to come up.
But I didn't hear the sound, but I felt a sudden gust of wind behind me, quite strong, I turned my head to look, and saw the ghosts who threw their urns out just now, and at this moment, they were grabbed with their souls and urns, and they were suspended in the air.
"Uncle Lu......" I shouted.
Lu Wuye had already condensed an internal force and slapped towards the air, as soon as he moved, all his subordinates also moved, some people followed Lu Wuye to fight against the power that appeared out of thin air, and some people protected those urns.
I couldn't watch from the wall, I swung my whip and swung it towards the air of the patio, at that time, Lu Wuye just happened to be a little under his feet, and flew towards the patio, the tail of my long whip grazed his left leg slightly, and I watched the sharp barb cut his ankle with my own eyes.
Accidentally injured.
But the next moment, I was dumbfounded, the whip was so heavy, the sound of cutting through the air was so loud, the barb that cut his ankle was so sharp, but Lu Wuye's ankle was not broken at all, not even a piece of redness and swelling.
My head was buzzing, I remember Mo Xianye's words, he said, if you want to know who Lu Lao Wu is, verify it yourself.
