Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Betrayal

New Town.

Ruan Zhan sat in the room at the top of the tower, like a statue. Ostensibly he was continuing his retreat, but in reality he was waiting for an opportunity and trying to minimize the loss of spiritual energy in his body.

This tower is really magical, as long as it does not belong to the normal power of human beings, as long as you stay in the tower for a long time, it will inevitably slowly weaken, silently, unconsciously, it makes people feel as if the electricity is going into the ground, until it disappears completely!

The person who designed this tower at the beginning didn't know if the mana was profound, but his Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements Bagua Technique were really amazing, just by virtue of the direction and the formation hidden in the building, and with some simple magic weapons, it could produce such a great energy!

If it weren't for this tower, he wouldn't have been able to lift the seal that Sima Nan had cast on him so quickly, but soon after his spiritual energy recovered, it would inevitably decay.

Those resentful spirits understood the magic of this tower, but they didn't know that Ruan Zhan had been sealed by Sima Nan before, so seeing that Ruan Zhan's ability had not disappeared, but had increased, they thought that he was not controlled by this tower, so they were afraid of him and never did anything to him.

The resentful spirit pretending to be Xiao Xia couldn't stay in the tower for a long time, so he slipped out of the tower when Ruan Zhan entered the dark room at the top of the tower again to meditate. She thought that Ruan Zhan was hiding in the dark room and didn't come out, she must be trying her best to recover her eyesight. But Ruan Zhan was just waiting for her to leave, and then he had to look around, find the place where this tower that could calm spirits was destroyed by Sima Nan, repair it, and make it a place to 'take in' resentful spirits and suppress resentment again.

The dark room at the top of the tower was circular and empty, except for a ring of extremely narrow glass windows on the four walls, even on the door that had been specially left for easy access, and from the inside it looked as if the tower was half-open and half-closed. And Ruan Zhan's feeling was that this dark room gathered the highest energy of this tower, and radiated out from that small window, forming an invisible aura that shrouded the entire top of the tower. Staying inside the tower can only make all kinds of psionic energy disappear, and what really suppresses the resentful spirits and keeps them from getting out is precisely because of the energy that shrouds the top.

If you feel the aura of this town spirit carefully, you will find that its energy is not so balanced, as if it is tilted to one side. Don't look at it as a small change, but it's like opening a crack in the lid of a box, allowing the wraiths to escape through the crack!

Where was it destroyed?

With Sima Nan's personality, he must be building a lot of buildings and renovating the building structure, he likes to win by skill, and he likes that arrogant and chic feeling, so there must be a small place in this tower that is different from when it was built, but it has caused a fundamental change in the formation of the entire town spirit!

Thinking of this, Ruan Zhan drew a talisman with a concealed gesture, and at the same time silently recited a few incantations, and then got up and left the dark room. As he walked to the door, he turned his head to look and saw that his body was still in place, with Xiao Xia's amulet hanging from his chest, and only passed through the wall when he was sure that the resentful spirits who had ventured to spy on him could not see any flaws.

He also had to choose out-of-body experience, there was no one to guard his body for him, he took a certain risk!

Although the aura shrouded by the top of the tower was destroyed, the dark room was at the very top, so the spirits still couldn't enter. However, they can lie by the window and watch, which makes him have to create some illusions, and he can't penetrate walls, so he has to use this trick.

The greatest advantage of this is that as long as he hides even the breath of his soul, he can avoid all eyes and ears and act freely, and he can also pass through all physical obstacles!

In addition, the resentful spirits here are not more than ordinary, not only are they more resentful, but they are also numerous. The most terrifying thing is that they obviously have a leader, and it is likely to be the one who occupies Xiao Xia's body. Her resentment can remain in the tower for a while, which proves that her resentment is not ordinarily deep, and may even have gone through several years of cultivation. And she also has quite a lot of organizational power, organizing those resentful spirits together and exerting her greatest strength.

Therefore, what he is now facing is not the problem of the wraith, but the small army of the wraith.

He walked down the top floor, paused on the eighth floor, and couldn't help but look at the glass cabinet by the wall. I saw that the little porcelain doll with Xiao Xia's cute face was twisted at an angle and faced the wall. He knew that it wasn't Xiao Xia who wanted to reverse it herself, it must have been the resentful spirit who took her body and was afraid that he would notice this change when he regained his sight, so he did it.

She is so cautious, but unfortunately there is something in this world called smart but clever mistake!

Sima Nan thought that sealing his ability would make it difficult for him to move an inch in the empty town, but he didn't expect that the sealing spell would block the tower's absorption of spiritual energy for him, so that his own spiritual energy would not be quickly lost; The resentful spirit thought that he could confuse Xiao Xia by taking possession of his body, but he didn't know that his eyesight had already been restored, and he had a spiritual connection with Xiao Xia, so he had already known everything, and now he had to plan it in turn!

He resisted the urge to put Xiao Xia's small porcelain statue in his arms, and focused his mind on finding the point of destruction. He couldn't see when he entered the tower, and although he had come down just now, he couldn't move his eyes at all because he pretended that his eyesight had not yet recovered, so he only carefully observed his surroundings at this moment.

The eighth floor is still circular, but the layout is relatively normal, with two large windows on the east and west sides. It's just that now the outside is shrouded in thick fog and you can't see the view outside the window, considering that this tower is in the center of the town, and it is so high, it should be able to overlook the whole town, which is the best place to see.

Except for the two windows, there are only a few large glass cabinets on this floor. Inside the cabinet were all kinds of small porcelain figures, presumably for the purpose of containing the dead ghosts. The pagoda was built in the shape of a temple tower, and it is expected that the inhabitants of the town will receive incense after they move in, so that when these evil spirits are sent to the place where they should go, the pious incense here will also be used to pray for their blessings, which shows that the people who designed and built the tower have a trace of guilt for these evil spirits.

Could it be that he is also one of the culprits in today's situation? Who is he?

Ruan Zhan couldn't help but look at the cabinet again, and then his eyes were attracted by a gossip figure on the ground. The gossip was embedded in the ground, it was made of bamboo, I don't know how it was handled, the bamboo pieces were black and shiny, and it was really not easy to find in the dark room.

Ruan Zhan walked over, looked down, and felt that there was a little spiritual power hidden on this bamboo piece, although it was not big, but it was enough to make this figure extraordinary, but the current figure had some small changes, and a small corner was missing, so that this gossip map could not be completely formed.

Looking up, there is also a similar Bagua shape on the ceiling of this floor, which echoes this one on the ground, and it has also been damaged by a small part, but the damaged part is different from the one on the ground.

"He's really a trick, eat all over the sky!" Ruan Zhan scolded in his heart, remembering that in the Falling Flower Cave Girl incident, Sima Nan had also inadvertently destroyed the stone gossip at the gate of the 'Woman Flower' Entertainment City, which was just a little change, but it turned the spiritual object of exorcism into something that attracted evil spirits.

Bagua is the world's most yang thing, although in the eyes of the layman it is just a figure, and there is no difference, but in fact, Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui, can not have a little mistake, otherwise it doesn't matter if it is used as a decoration, but if it is used as a component of the formation to drive away evil and avoid evil, it will have no effect, and its array will lose its meaning.

Therefore, Sima Nan did a simple thing, but the destructive effect was the greatest! This is his usual method, and it always smacks of contempt for the world.

The gossip graphics on the ground and the roof were not the same in the damaged places, so Ruan Zhan carefully identified them, silently remembered them in his heart, and then began to walk down.

Looking slowly at the past layer by layer, Ruan Zhan found that the pattern of each floor was similar, but because the tower was tapered, the lower it was, the larger the area of the floor, but no matter how big or small, each floor had glass cabinets full of small porcelain figures. It's just that the small porcelain figures below the eight floors are no longer special, it seems that they are just handicrafts, describing some historical figures and folklore, and there is no trace of yin on them, which is purely ornamental.

Of course, there is a Bagua shape in the center of the ground on each floor, but there is only one on the ground. There is a corresponding Bagua diagram on the roof, which is only available on the eighth floor, as if the diagram on the floor on the ninth floor penetrates into the roof of the eighth floor. Moreover, the size of these Bagua diagrams is the opposite of the area of the floor, the larger the area of the floor, the smaller the Bagua and the different directions. What's more, these gossip are no longer made of that special piece of bamboo, but resemble invisible graphics, which cannot be seen by the human eye, and can only be seen by a person with spiritual power like him.

Without exception, every gossip is damaged a little.

In this way, there are a total of eight Bagua diagrams from the second layer to the eighth layer, and the damage is different! In addition, he had carefully counted the little porcelain figures on the eighth floor, excluding Xiao Xia and them, a total of one hundred and seventy-three, which means that one hundred and seventy-three people died at the same time in the unjust case that occurred that year! Such a big thing was concealed so much, not to mention other places, even the locals knew about it, which shows the great energy of the responsible person and the high means!

The first layer is very different from other places, there is no gossip map, only a large and eight small nine bells are irregularly buckled upside down on the ground, and the walls and roofs are painted with Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats, which are gorgeous and sacred. However, at present, the tower is defiled by evil spirits, and the solemnity of this place is gone.

Ruan Zhan carefully observed the surroundings, because although he was not very good at Qimen Dunjia and Five Elements Bagua, according to his inference, there was still one of the most critical points in this formation.

After looking around, I didn't see anything. The first floor is like a large Buddhist preaching shrine, and there are no secret doors or secret rooms or anything.

Ruan Zhan pondered for a while, feeling that he would not guess wrong, and then remembered that when they ran from the square to the tower, although they walked a winding corridor path, they felt that they had been going uphill, and there were several steps to enter the gate of the tower, and they almost tripped him when they rushed in, so the ground on the first floor of this tower was much higher than the horizontal ground outside, that is, it may have a basement floor!

It's much easier to have a goal, and he focuses his energy on the floor.

It stands to reason that he is now a soul and should be able to see through things that humans can't, but he can't see anything under the floor, which shows that the floor has been specially treated and can't see a large hollow. He had no choice but to apply his spiritual energy to his yin and yang eyes, and after more than ten seconds, he finally saw a special situation under the ground.

He was overjoyed, and hurriedly concentrated his thoughts to the gap between the big and small bells in the center of the floor. He could see clearly that there was a wisp underneath these places, which allowed him to penetrate the ground.

Below the floor was a huge basement, much larger than the base of the tower, like an underground parking lot, and when I stood here and looked at the place where I had just come down, I found that the gap between the bells, that is, the place where I could pass through the ground, formed a strange shape, a little bit of a tooth and claw, like a hand pressing against the ground.

Looking at this underground layer, there is also a huge gossip in the middle of the ground, except that its figure is composed of water. It is to dig a gossip shape in the ground, and the hollow is filled with water.

It should be said that the lake!

It turns out that the ground is level with the artificial lake that surrounds the tower, and this is the case here because of the principle of physical connectivity!

Water is yin, and this natural water gossip has a huge effect on the whole tower, but at this time it is also damaged, and it is not damaged a little, but all damaged. It's not that someone has destroyed the pool, it's that a lot of things have been added to the water that shouldn't be there.

If the gossip upstairs was taken down by someone, then those things are all added to this water gossip at the moment.

"It's so convenient for him, he didn't bring anything with him, he didn't take anything away, he just took a little from every gossip upstairs, and then added it all to this water gossip, so that it completely destroyed the pattern of this tower!" Ruan Zhan didn't know whether to admire Sima Nan or despise him, he was able to be so opportunistic.

It's just that he completely admires Sima Nan's meticulous thoughts.

He destroyed each gossip in a different place, a very subtle but most critical place, and then when he threw the bamboo pieces and those invisible materials on this water gossip, he painstakingly messed them all up. If it weren't for the fact that he had carefully memorized every gossip damage from the top, he still wouldn't know how to recover it!

He leaned over and picked up those things that didn't belong here, first restored the function of this water gossip, and then brought all those superfluous things with him, and the bamboo pieces also cast a spell to become invisible, and then returned to the ground and restored the function of the gossip map layer by layer. At this time, he felt that there was a miracle in the coincidence, if it wasn't for the soul leaving the body, not only would he not be able to check the destruction of the tower with peace of mind, but he would not have found and entered this basement.

This basement was sealed when it was built, and the entrance and exit were surrounded by those bells with innate qi, and the resentful spirits could not see or enter here, although I don't know how Sima Nan did it, but he could only find out if he was crooked.

Also, as soon as he found himself in the basement, his psionic energy quickly recovered. This meant that as long as he left the normal range of the tower, his psionic energy would not be restricted, which provided him with a feasible way to formulate a plan for a decisive battle with Sima Nan.

He carefully and patiently repaired the formation in the tower according to his memory, not knowing that when he was in the basement, a figure had quietly walked upstairs. Not a ghost, indeed a person!

It's Mao Fu!

"Accident?" Mao Fu moved the little porcelain figure like a child, and placed the little porcelain figure attached to Xiao Xia, Liu Hong, Zhao Jiayuan, Ma Reporter and A Bai's soul together, and the other little porcelain figures were pushed aside.

"I'm not crazy." He smugly continued, "I'm just pretending to be crazy. ”

"You're a despicable traitor!" Although Xiao Xia knew that his voice was like a mosquito calling, he couldn't help but reprimand loudly. She hated Mao Fu from the beginning, and felt that there was a sinister aura hidden under his polite appearance, but she didn't expect him to be even more despicable than she thought.

Unexpectedly, Mao Fu actually heard Xiao Xia's words, but he didn't show shame, but was still proud, "Those who know practitioners are Junjie, and now the situation is clear, it is better to help these immortals do things than to be locked up in these porcelain." Did you know? They won't let you go, and when your body is used, you'll be thrown into the lake to feed the fish, and your soul will be left here forever, to be visited, played, and even bought home. Day after day, year after year, it never ends. Don't worry, I'll be coming to see you! Hee-hee-hee-"

He tried his best to suppress his laughter, but his expression was extremely excited, and he was lined by this empty and dark empty tower, which looked particularly strange and terrifying!

He said that he was not crazy, but his appearance made Xiao Xia unsure.

"Let me out! Let me out! Liu Hong cried, "As long as you are willing to let me go, I won't say anything!" Please, help me! I will repay you, I will give you whatever you want! Whoever wants me is fine, don't you like me? ”

In Mao Fu's continuous laughter, Liu Hong begged bitterly.

Xiao Xia really hates that he can't move at the moment, otherwise he really wants to go up and slap Liu Hong twice! I don't know why, as soon as I met this woman, the desire for violence in her body was particularly strong! This is still a woman, she has no self-esteem at all, her character is so despicable, why are so many people holding her!

"What about you?" Mao Fu squinted his eyes to look at Xiao Xia and Ah Bai.

Xiao Xia didn't know how he knew about Ah Bai, maybe Ah Bai's soul was attached to the little porcelain man, he knew it. But seeing Mao Fu's obscene virtue, although she is just a porcelain doll now, she is about to vomit out. Seeing that his dirty hand was about to touch him, he desperately slammed to the side, causing his 'body', which had been unable to move, to move and almost fall off the shelf.

Mao Fu was startled, and subconsciously picked it up, "Be careful, you will die if you fall, and you will go with those immortals." His face turned white.

"I'm not afraid." Xiao Xia is stubborn and authentic.

"You're not afraid?" Mao Fu smiled angrily, his face was blue and white, and he was really a little hideous and scared, "I'll break it for you to see." ”

"You don't dare." Ah Bai, who had not spoken, interjected, "Your master still wants to use Xiao Xia to threaten Ruan Zhan, how can you be allowed to come nonsense?" She had always been gentle, and she couldn't help but be a little angry at this time.

"Nonsense!" Mao Fu's face was panicked after the lie was exposed, "I'll drop her right now and try it!" ”

"Okay, here you go!" Xiao Xia shouted loudly.

Mao Fu stretched out his hand, but stayed at Xiao Xia's side for a long time, and finally didn't catch it, so he had to shake his hand, turn around in place a few times, and then grab Liu Hong's porcelain statue, hold it high, and slam her to the ground in Liu Hong's long scream.

I only heard a 'pop' sound, the little porcelain figure was shattered, a woman's cry came from the ground, and then a small transparent shadow was sucked into the dense fog outside the tower as if it couldn't help it.

The woman's cry and the fragments of the ground shocked Xiao Xia and Ah Bai, they didn't know that Liu Hong's cry as a human being and Liu Hong's crying as a soul were so different, the former was annoying, and the latter was gloomy. Moreover, although Xiao Xia hated Liu Hong and sometimes couldn't help but say a few cruel words, she didn't think about letting her die, nor did she think that she would die so easily, so this sudden scene really scared her!

"How? Scared? Mao Fu said proudly.

Xiao Xia was extremely angry in a panic, she didn't think that she was the same person, how could there be such a despicable and shameless human being!

"Why should I be afraid of you? You're just a betrayal! ”

"You're not afraid? Okay, I fell Zhao Jiayuan! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Zhao Jiayuan.

"Don't! Mayor Mao! Zhao Jiayuan was shocked, "Please let me live, stay here forever, whatever you want, just leave me with my life!" ”

"Don't hurt anyone!" Xiao Xia exclaimed, "It's the same person, how did you do it." I'm scared of you, let him go! ”

"Please!" Zhao Jiayuan also continued to cry and beg, "Please follow you for so many years before and after my saddle, never have two hearts, spare my life!" I'll continue to be an errand for you, just like I'm one of your dogs! It's just a dog's life. ”

Mao Fu held Zhao Jiayuan high and hesitated, as if Zhao Jiayuan's words touched him a little. After all, Zhao Jiayuan has always been his lackey, when he pretended to be crazy, he didn't leave him to run by himself in such a dangerous situation, he was definitely a loyal dog.

Xiao Xia on the side saw that his expression was a little calmer, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhao Jiayuan had saved his life for the time being.

Thinking of Mao Fu, his face suddenly changed, he waved his arm, raised Zhao Jiayuan higher, and said softly: "You did a good job before, I will take care of your family." It's a pity that I can't let anyone know, I can't take risks, and besides, you're useless to me! After speaking, his wrist shook down, and after a shocking sound, Zhao Jiayuan was also shattered, and his soul was sucked away.

"You are so cruel! It's just not worthy of being human. Seeing the two tragedies, Ah Bai's kind heart couldn't bear it, and his voice trembled.

Xiao Xia was speechless, he didn't expect Mao Fu to kill his own kind without hesitation, this kind of behavior is not as good as pigs and dogs, it is hard to imagine that when people are in danger, in order to protect themselves, they can be selfish, despicable, and ugly to such an extent!

"Whose turn is it now? Ma reporter? ”

...
