Outside the corridor is a beautiful scene, rockery, small pond, blue lotus root, pink water lotus. From time to time, beautiful women in cheongsams pass by, and they are all service staff here. The girls' footsteps were very soft, and when they passed by the three of them, they stopped and bowed their heads slightly, and there was a lingering fragrance of women in the air.

Song Qingshu took a deep breath and looked at the carved wooden door in front of him, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The waiter led them to the door and stopped. She made a "please" gesture, and then the whole person stepped back, as if she would not take one more step forward.

Lu Qing tacitly glanced at Xu Haijian and Song Qingshu, and the three of them held their breath and raised their vigilance. Xu Haijian silently grabbed the props in his sleeve robe, and then stretched out his hand and pushed open the door in front of him.

Outside the wooden door, the sound of the piano is curling, classical and elegant, but behind the wooden door, there is another world.

The three of them stood at the foot of the steps at this time, looking up at the scene in front of them, and were speechless for a while. They never expected that there was a majestic and magnificent ancient Taoist temple hidden in this prosperous building.

The air was filled with the smell of incense, the steps under the feet were paved with green bricks, there was no light around, there were no windows around the temple, and all the light came from the candles burning on the walls.

In the dimly lit interior, the walls and floor tiles are all blue stone slabs. On the left and right sides of the stairs is an old stone tablet, which is densely inscribed with many ancient characters. The stele seems to have come from somewhere, and it doesn't look like a fake, but a genuine antiquity from a Taoist temple somewhere. The body of the stele is incomplete, and it seems to be some years old, because it has been hit by wind and snow, and the text on it is also blurred.

Lu Qing stretched out his hand and carefully rubbed the surface of the stone stele, and vaguely, he saw a few lines of words engraved on it. Lu Qing muttered and read it softly: "The road is not far, in the body, everything is empty...... The back is very badly damaged, and he can't see it clearly.

"Come up." Just as he was thinking, Huang Fuyuan's voice came from above his head. Lu Qing and the others didn't dare to delay, and immediately walked up the steps slowly.

The steps are about three meters high, and after climbing the steps, the three of them finally saw the scene in front of them: four stone pillars rose from the ground, supporting the four directions of the main hall, southeast, northwest, and northwest.

The layout of the whole hall is a balanced symmetry, according to the direction of the eight trigrams, Qiannan Kunbei, that is, the south of heaven and the north of the earth, with the meridian as the central axis, sitting in the north and facing the south of the layout, so that the halls dedicated to the gods are located on the central axis.

On both sides, according to the principle of symmetry between the sun and the east and the west, the temple is set up to worship the gods. This symmetrical layout embodies the Taoist hierarchical idea of "the Venerable is in the middle".

Lu Qing and the others understood that they were afraid that the most important character at this time, the leader of the Naluo Sect, would soon appear in the middle hall.

The expression on Huang Fuyuan's face was serious and reverent, which was completely different from the sleek appearance of the business downstairs before. He led Lu Qing and the others into the side hall on the left, and told them to wait for news here. When the ceremony begins, follow the crowd into the main hall, and what they do, they can just follow the gourd painting and follow the learning.

"Remember, don't make any noise that affects the ceremony. Otherwise, none of you will be able to get out of here today. Before leaving, Huang Fuyuan lowered his voice and warned. Lu Qing and the others nodded, lowered the brim of their hats, covered their faces tightly, and walked into the hall.

The walls everywhere and above his head were carved with exquisite murals, and Lu Qing didn't dare to move too much, just walked slowly along the edge of the wall, taking the opportunity to look at the contents of the murals. He roughly counted, the murals in this hall in the form of 49 panoramic comics, showing the mythical story of a certain "goddess" from birth to immortality, the whole mural, covering a wide range of magnificence.

The one above the head is the largest, and the goddess in the picture has eyebrows like a small moon and eyes like double stars. There were countless good men and women bowing at her feet, and golden aura bloomed behind her, obviously a sacred and inviolable immortal.

The goddess in the painting was supposed to look solemn and treasured. But for some reason, in Lu Qing's eyes, the woman in the painting not only does not have any sense of kindness, tranquility, solemnity and luxury, on the contrary, her eyebrows and eyes always reveal an evil spirit. And on the mural above her head, in the center of the woman's forehead, there was the mark they had seen before.

Lu Qing took a few steps forward, and soon saw Li Chenyin's figure in the crowd. It's no wonder that her fiery red hair is so conspicuous. However, the strange thing is that except for Li Chenyin, Yu Ming's figure disappeared.

Lu Qing didn't care about his life or death. What he worries about is whether this crazy man who doesn't play his cards according to common sense will do anything to affect their actions.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Li Chenyin and Lu Qing just glanced at each other and did not make other moves. At this time, there were about 20 people in the main hall, men, women and children, everyone's face was expressionless, solemn, half-kneeling on the ground, all facing the direction of the main hall, as if they were welcoming some important moment.

Seeing this, Lu Qing and the others also knelt down one after another, emulating their actions. About ten minutes later, just when Song Qingshu felt that his knees were numb and wanted to rub it quietly-

"Ding" "Ding" "Ding"

In the hall outside the door, three clear bells rang. When everyone heard the commotion, they got up one after another and walked towards the outside of the main hall. Lu Qing and the three of them looked at each other, they knew that the time had come!

At the same time, somewhere inside a residential building.

After Chen Zhi slept for a night, his spirit had recovered a lot. At this moment, Shen Mengyun and Ling Meng, two girls, were making breakfast for everyone in the kitchen, and Lu Jie was staying alone in the study, seemingly unwilling to be disturbed.

Xu Sheng was a little embarrassed, he didn't know any of the people here, so it was inevitable that he couldn't speak. But it was obviously safer to stay with people from other districts than to let him go on an adventure in Luojiao. What's more, the strongest man in the whole space is still here, Xu Sheng doesn't believe that Lu Jie is an unarmed weak chicken, he always has a feeling that the other party is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

At this moment, the doorbell outside the rental house suddenly rang.

Shen Mengyun walked out of the kitchen, although she still had an apron tied around her waist, her expression was full of vigilance. Not only her, but Xu Sheng also walked out of the bedroom with Chen Zhi, who was limping.

Shen Mengyun tiptoed to the door, and the detection props in his hand showed that there was no aura of a powerful ghost at this time. She cautiously approached the door, pushed open the cat's eye, and looked out.

There was no one at the door. Shen Mengyun took a strange step back, and at this moment, she saw a tight cardboard box wrapped in duct tape on the ground outside the door.

"How can there be a courier? Is it the landlord's thing? Xu Sheng wondered.

Shen Mengyun opened the door directly, and the cardboard box also appeared in front of everyone. The height of the box was only near Shen Mengyun's knees, and she kicked it with her foot, which seemed to have some weight. The sound of the box was very dull, and everyone judged that there should be a layer of foam cardboard box inside.

What is it that needs to be tightly wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside?

Shen Mengyun bent down and was about to check the courier label on the box, when her pupils suddenly constricted.

It seemed that the ice cubes in the box had melted a little, and he had been kicked by Shen Mengyun a few times just now, and at this time, a puddle of pink liquid slowly seeped out of the bottom of the box.

It was melted ice water, mixed with ...... Blood.
