Shen Shi soon arrived.

When the Song brothers were sweating like rain and digging in the soil, I called Shen Qing aside, "Did you bring anything to ward off evil spirits?" ”

"No," she wondered, "why do you ask?" ”

I didn't say anything, and pulled her to the tomb of General Tie and pointed to the bronze lion outside the tomb, "This formation was broken as soon as it was laid out, because the formation in the tomb was activated." My Dharma Protectors told me that you have a special aura on your body that people can't feel, and the spirits don't dare to approach, and I suspect that it is this aura that activates the formation in the tomb. ”

She frowned, "What do you mean?" Do you suspect that I am deliberately causing trouble for you? ”

"If I'm in doubt, I won't tell you," I looked at her calmly, "but I must ask what you are carrying?" Why is there such a strange aura? ”

"I really don't have anything on me," she said, "or you're going to search me?" ”

"This object seems to be hidden in your body," I subconsciously looked at her breasts.

She looked down for a moment, and suddenly became a little angry, "What do you mean?" Am I still hiding things in my body? How is that possible? ”

I looked at her, and I really couldn't see anything special about her, "Anyway, this question must be answered, otherwise the rest of the matter will not be done." ”

She glared at me, "Are you so sure it's me?" ”

"Yes, I'm sure," I said, "the Blood Spirit Demon in the Iron General's Tomb has basically taken shape, and the formation in the coffin both seals it and protects it, if it weren't for sensing some kind of threat, this formation wouldn't have suddenly strengthened to the point of breaking up the protective array outside." Zhou Yan is my person, I know best what her situation is, only the two of you are there when the formation is arranged, so the problem must be you. ”

She was a little irritable and scratched her hair impatiently, "Whatafack!"

"Don't swear, just tell the truth", I stared at her, "I don't want to believe that you are deliberately sabotage, forcing me to go in and die like that master more than a hundred years ago, he is worthy of the Shen family, I am not worthy." ”

She glanced at me, "Lin Zhuo, why do you always think of me so complicated?" I have no grievances with you, why did you send you to death? You're Tingting's man, if I kill you, will she forgive me? Will the Qiu family forgive me? Besides, this matter is related to the century-old fortune of our Shen family, if I destroy you, isn't that equivalent to destroying the entire family? ”

"I don't want to think so," I said, "so you have to give me an answer, or, let's find that answer together." Because...... If you have this aura in you, our plan is not feasible. As soon as the secret passage is opened, not only will those spirits not come out, but I am afraid that they will cause other trouble. ”

She was shocked, "Then why did you still let them dig in the soil?" As she spoke, she turned to leave, but I grabbed her, "Come back!" ”

"Are you crazy?" She looked at me excitedly, "Since it's not feasible, then if you open the secret passage, something will happen!" ”

"Once something is decided, it can't be changed," I looked at her, "and the only thing you can do now is to tell me the truth, or, let's find out the reason together and figure out where your aura comes from." ”

She looked at me stunned, "Why don't you believe me?" Can I deceive you? Your cultivation is much higher than mine, don't you know if you do the math? ”

"Those are two different things," I said, "and if things are going to go well, you'd better take the initiative to tell me." ”

She let out a long sigh of relief, "OK, you let me think about it, okay?" ”

I let go of her hand and looked at my watch, "We only have twenty minutes." ”

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly raised her head, "I understand, is it the water ......?"

"What runic water?"

"Our Shen family has a jade talisman that is said to have been left by my great-grandfather," she said, "Before my grandfather died, he passed it on to me and told me that when I went back to China to seal Jiuqu Ruyi in the future, I would use our family heirloom moonlight cup and this jade talisman to refine talisman water, refining one bottle a day, no more than fifteen bottles, and then drinking one bottle a day when I was doing errands." ”

"What does this rune water do?" I asked.

"My grandfather only said that Fu Shui could protect me, but he didn't say how it would protect me," she said, "Before we came here from Taiyuan, I drank the first bottle, and then I got sick with a cold that night, and I didn't drink it the next day." ”

"Did you drink it before we went to town yesterday?"

She nodded, "I'm completely cured, so I brought a bottle with me when I went to town yesterday and drank it when I got to the hotel." ”

"Then I see, it seems that it is really this Fu Shui trouble......"

Generally speaking, after drinking the runic water, the longer it lasts, the weaker the effect. According to what she said, she drank a bottle when she set off from Taiyuan, and when she arrived here, the power of Fu Shui was already very weak, so Tang Qi was not affected. And last night, she went to look for me shortly after drinking, and the aura of the rune water was very strong, so Tang Qi was disturbed.

She looked at me worriedly, "Is runic water an object?" ”

I glanced at her, "What kind of jade talisman is that?" Why is it so powerful? ”

She shook her head, "I don't know, but if you want to know, I can bring the jade talisman for you to see next time I come to China." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, "That's not necessary, as long as it's not something hidden in your body, otherwise I'll have to cut it out for you...... By the way, did you drink it today? ”

"I drank it last night, and even if I drank it today, it would have to be after the hour," she said, "and there should be at least twelve hours between the two bottles of runic water." ”

"Hmm", I nodded, "So, your aura won't disappear until after the hour comes, but we're going to do something soon......"

"Does this rune water really interfere?" She frowned.

"Of course," I said, "your role is to be a decoy, but now the aura will make the demons afraid to come near you, or not feel you, so they won't come to you." They don't come, how do I destroy them? ”

"So what can be done now to counteract this effect?" She asked.

I thought for a while, "The only way is for me to seal your meridians with talismans, so that your aura will be suppressed, and the evil spirits will not be afraid." Just doing this, you're going to suffer a little, are you willing? ”

"Do you need to ask?" She looked at me, "As long as you take care of things for me, I'm not afraid of hardship." But what about this Iron General's Tomb? The formation outside is broken, do you need to remedy it? ”

I looked at the iron man, "It's a big deal that the formation in this tomb has been activated again, and now the time is very tight, so I can't care about so much." ”

She hesitated, "Alright then! ”

It seems that this is a bureau designed by the ancestors of the Shen family a long time ago, and when the descendants come to do things, they must drink talisman water to protect themselves, and once they drink talisman water, it is possible to activate the formation in the tomb of General Tie. So, could the illusion we saw on the big rock on the first night be due to the chain reaction caused by her getting too close and activating the formation in the tomb? You can't think about it, and if you think about it, you will find a lot of doubts. Now I can't ignore these doubts, the smartest thing to do is to choose to believe Shen Qing.

Anyway, one thing is for sure, if she really wants to hinder my plan, it just means that I have to do it, even if it costs her, I must carry it out according to the original plan.

We returned to the outside of the secret passage, and the outer sealing soil had been dug up by the Song brothers, revealing a corner of the rough and heavy stone door.

"How long will it take?" I asked.

Song Chengxiao wiped his sweat, "It's going to be fast, don't worry, it'll be dug up in another twenty minutes." ”

"Okay, then you guys go on", I looked at Shen Qing, "Let's get busy too." ”

Shen Qing was a little nervous, "Hmm! ”

I took a few steps back, meditated for a moment, pinched my hand on the ground and began to cultivate the talisman array, a total of sixteen talismans, and formed a spiritual heart array. When the northerners fish in the river, there is a kind of large fishing net called the net of the end of the household, it is like a maze array, the whole river is cut off, all the fish regardless of size, once into this kind of net, you can only swim down the channel blocked by the fishing net, until you enter the net pocket after that, there is no way back. Therefore, in the past, there was a saying among Tianjin people, you can't go down to the net to fish, which means that you can't force people too much to do things for people, and don't leave a way back for people.

When the evil spirits come out of the secret passage and see the "incense bait" in the array and pounce on, it is equivalent to entering a maze array, in this formation, they have no way back, they can only go all the way down and enter the "net pocket". At that time, I used spells against them again.

Just like the old saying just said, fishing can't be used in a net, and the Earth Soul Array is generally not easy to use. But this time the situation is different, if these evil spirits run out, we will lose, so for the sake of insurance, we can only kill chickens with knives.

After the formation was arranged, the entrance to the secret passage was also dug up, and after removing the sealed soil, a stone gate appeared in front of him. This door is about two meters square, there is no lock, and there is a huge spirit rune engraved on it, the rune is blue and black and red, faintly revealing a breath of blood. This is to first engrave the runes, and then use human blood to add cinnabar, saffron, coal essence powder, keel, etc. to make a slime, and then pour the runes into it. In this way, the power of this spirit rune seal is huge, and it is enough to suppress the evil spirits in the secret passage.

But now, its mission is accomplished, and we must break it open.

I looked at the Song brothers who were sweating profusely, "You have worked hard, and the rest will be left to us, you can go down the mountain." ”

The two didn't speak, and looked at Shen Qing.

"Go ahead," Shen Qing said, "Starting tomorrow, the employees will be given a holiday, and the entire field will be emptied except for a few necessary personnel, and I don't want outsiders to know what is happening here." ”

"Okay Miss Shen, let's do it!" The Song brothers spoke in unison.

I looked at Shen Qing with a sneer, "After all, it's your person, and you have to speak." ”

She didn't speak, and after the Song brothers left, she turned around and looked at me seriously, "Lin Zhuo, from now on, my life will be handed over to you!" ”
