Chapter 490: Dawn (39)
Li Mingtang stood solemnly, holding an intelligence file in his hand, opening it with his floating hand, studying it carefully, until the last page, he closed it and put it aside, his eyes were full of thought, for a long time, he sighed slightly, but he was silent.
The situation in Baiyun City now is much more complicated than he imagined, and it has long exceeded his estimates.
Putting aside the chaotic demonic ways, the conflicts in his jurisdiction alone began to increase every day.
But as a member of the Yin-Yang Sect, sometimes it is not up to him to decide, after all, the whims of some high-ranking people are very likely to bury their entire Daxingtai manpower.
"Your Excellency, the manpower is ready. ”
"Well, let's go. ”
Rushing out of the yamen of Daxingtai, everyone quickly swept towards an alley on West Street.
The wind in the night was very cold, like a knife sharpening bones, and people couldn't help but shudder their teeth.
Standing in front of the gate of a courtyard, Li Mingtang tightened his jacket, and then waved his hand at the people behind him.
The monks from Daxingtai were ordered to break open the gate and rush in, but after searching the mansion, they did not get the results they imagined.
"Could it be that he ran away after receiving the news?" frowning slightly, Li Mingtang glanced around, his expression slightly puzzled.
It was still evening, and Daxingtai received news that someone was hiding in this mansion and was planning to sabotage the route of Taihe Palace in the West Sea.
In order to curry favor with Taihe Palace, some people of the Yin-Yang Sect naturally instructed them to go to the stage, asking Li Mingtang to personally lead people to arrest those guys, but the group surrounded the mansion, but they didn't see a single person in the mansion, which was obviously a little strange.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the courtyard, and in the depths of the earth, suddenly there was a terrible scream, which was a terrified sound, as if someone had encountered something creepy and made this extremely terrible cry!
Hearing this voice, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Li Mingtang narrowed his eyes slightly, and then glanced at a few people around him.
A few of the more daring monks blinked, and immediately followed the sound, until they came to a hole more than three feet wide in the backyard, and then stopped slightly.
The cave was dark, and a cold air came up from the ground, making people shiver.
"What is this?," the monk frowned, circling the cave.
"Or is it authentic?" someone smiled and said, "Maybe someone has some treasure hidden in it, so ......"
"Whew-"
At the beginning of the change, a pitch-black tentacle poked out of the mouth of the cave, wrapped around the bodies of several people at once, and then dragged it down to the ground, and before a few people in the distance could react, the monk close to the cave had already disappeared.
Everyone was slightly stunned for a moment, and then looked at the hole below as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Yes...... Does anyone see clearly?" said one of the monks, swallowing his saliva.
"I didn't ......
Listening to the whispering of his subordinates, Li Mingtang frowned, signaling the deputy on the side to take strict precautions, but he slowly approached the entrance of the cave, floated his body, and listened on the side.
"Knock knock—"
It was as if a huge heart was beating, making a loud noise, and spreading rapidly upwards along the soil layer.
At this time, there is no need to bend down, everyone can already feel this sound, the strange rhythm seems to be able to pull everyone's pulse, gradually, the monk who has cultivated to the bottom of the ground is actually pulled by the vibration of this strange sound, his face is red, his blood is surging, and he almost wants to burst.
"Whew-"
Taking advantage of everyone's trance, the extremely fast tentacle came out again, quickly rolled up a person, and then dragged it down towards the depths of the cave, and almost a moment later, there was a terrifying scream from the depths of the cave!
This time, not only Li Mingtang, but even a few monks on the side could clearly see that this extremely fast tentacle was actually an object that was completely rainbow-colored, as if it was transparent, and the object was smeared with a layer of viscous secretions, with a pungent and disgusting stench.
Seeing this kind of scene, everyone's hearts were stunned, and their legs began to weaken, after all, such strange creatures, they, who belonged to the Yin-Yang Sect, had probably never encountered them in their lives.
That Li Mingtang frowned slightly, and after seeing the paleness of several people around him, he thought for a while, and then waved his hand, signaling everyone to exit this strange mansion first.
It's just that everyone wants to leave, and the strange creatures in the cave don't seem to have any intention of letting them go.
"Uhhh
A blood-red shadow burst out of the deep hole, like a ghost-like speed through the vacuum, and skipped towards the fleeing crowd, its body almost turned into a bloody light, only to hear a swish, a large hole appeared in the chest of a monk, the blood of the whole body rushed out in an instant, and was sucked clean by the blood-colored shadow, and the person dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a dry human skin, fell to the ground, and even the bone slag in the human skin, turned into powder.
"Hiss ——"
Glimpsing this kind of scene, everyone gasped, feeling a chill all over the body, like falling into an ice cellar, this kind of scene is so terrifying, it almost makes people hairy, what kind of monster is this?
But the monster didn't give everyone time to react, but after a few breaths, there were very few monks left in the courtyard, and there were many guys who scattered and fled, and were sucked into layers of dry human skin by this monster, and this blood-red shadow stood in the void, making a strange sound of "cooing", and then, he seemed to be staring at Li Mingtang, and then flew quickly,
That Li Mingtang narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but feel cold to his skin and bones, but his arm was still subconsciously waved lightly, and the bronze battle with cold light swallowed the black mang, turning into an arc in the void, instantly cutting the vacuum, and the blood-red figure was suddenly torn to pieces and fell down in mid-air.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the shattered blood-red figure suddenly condensed, like a blood arrow off the string, almost rushing up at an incredible speed.
Li Mingtang's pupils contracted, and his body dodged quickly, but a monk behind him crashed into the blood shadow, and then, with the naked eye, the flesh and blood essence of his whole body was devoured, turned into a dry human skin, and fell to the ground like a paper painting.
Seeing this situation, Li Mingtang's hair suddenly rose, and a cold cold permeated his whole body, almost thinking about stepping away, after all, this blood shadow was too weird, as if it couldn't be killed, it was extremely difficult, even if he faced those legendary great monks, he was unwilling to face this monster full of unknown fear.
The blood-red shadow seemed to turn into a bloody light, bursting out, extremely fast, but in an instant, it caught up with the other people who fled, and quickly drilled into its body, and devoured the flesh essence in a few breaths, leaving only a dry human skin slowly floating down from the void, this kind of scene made people chill all over, and almost involuntarily trembled.
As if after eating human blood, this blood shadow made a "cooing" sound, as if it was a special frequency, which could cause a tremor in the body, and then, this blood shadow turned back in the air, and actually chased after Li Mingtang in the distance, but ignored the few fish that slipped through the net.
The speed of that blood shadow was extremely fast, and before Li Mingtang could react, it was already close to his three feet, and the scarlet blood light was glowing with coldness, almost as if it was about to break into his body in an instant.
"Uhhh
At this moment, a brilliant sword light suddenly sounded, and the incomparable sword qi came in an instant, tearing the blood shadow that was close to it into Dao fragments, and the sword qi shook a terrifying wave of qi, sweeping away the slowly condensed blood-colored fragments towards one side.
"Is it Gong Xiu?" Looking at the familiar figure, Li Mingtang's eyes widened, "Be careful, this monster seems to be able to reunite its body-"
Gong Xiu narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, but his eyes were staring at the blood shadow.
It was humanoid, with eight antennae, and a blood-colored mist flowing throughout, looking somewhat like a mixture of a monkey and an octopus.
"Abhi Blood Spirit!"
Looking at this blood shadow, Gong Xiu was stunned, and couldn't help blurting out.
Although her face remained unchanged, there was a huge amount in her heart, and this kind of thing was a strange life recorded in her mind.
According to some legends, this kind of life form is the Lord of the Blood River in ancient times, and wants to create a new race, with the supreme Xuan Gong conjuring up, with incredible mystical energy, but unfortunately in addition to heaven and earth, what kind of difficulty is it to create a life body, and finally the Lord of the Blood River soaked in the blood river with the soul of the human being, and was watered with the holy liquid of the Yellow Spring, so that the current Abhi Blood Spirit was formed, but the wisdom of this life form is extremely low, and there are only some instinctive touches, which are not as good as humans or demons。
And in order to steal the Yellow Spring Holy Liquid, at the end of the Dhara Gate, the Lord of the Blood River also fought a big battle with the Lord of the Yellow Spring Dao in the underworld, these two supreme beings are terrifying and monstrous figures, both of them have cultivated a certain law to the extreme, and they are all strong people who have cultivated a certain law to the extreme, even in the past and present, they are all standing at the pinnacle of existence.
What was the outcome of that battle, no one in later generations knows, only that at that time, even the barriers of time and space collapsed in their Dao, and even the original underworld was torn apart, gradually turning into countless fragmented worlds.
Legend has it that most of the Abhi Blood Spirits of the Blood River have been wiped out into nothingness, only a few have survived, and the Lord of the Blood River has disappeared, and many people believe that it has been wiped out in the long river of history and died.
Now this Abhi blood spirit has actually passed through the barrier of time and space and appeared in this world, it is almost a fantasy, if it is not for his own eyes, Gong Xiu will not believe it anyway, after all, this is simply an unbelievable thing.
Because the remnants of the Abhi blood spirit in the underworld were suppressed in the fragments of the underworld, which was a powerful barrier that even the power of all beings could not break, so how did this Abhi blood spirit escape and appear in this world?
With slightly calm eyes, Gong Xiu was silent.
But the Abhi blood spirit stared at Gong Xiu and hissed, although he instinctively felt that the human in front of him was very dangerous, but driven by desire, he thought that after devouring the flesh and blood essence of this human being, it seemed to be able to return to the level of power it was before, so when Gong Xiu's expression was slightly stunned, the Abhi blood spirit turned into an extremely fast blood light, and instantly rushed to Gong Xiu's body like an arrow from the string, and drilled into her eyebrows with lightning speed.
"Gong Xiu—"
Seeing this kind of scene, Li Mingtang's eyes were about to split, and he immediately rushed over, but before he could come closer, Nagong Xiu's body suddenly exuded a terrifying might, surging in all directions, and between the terrifying energy fluctuations, there seemed to be a sharp scream, which was a unique cry belonging to the Abhi Blood Spirit......
......
......
The intelligence department of Taihe Palace, located in the west of Baiyun City, the whole building sits in the north and faces south, the eaves are warped, and the four pillars in the front stand on the drum-shaped pillar stone, supporting the beam head and the forehead. There is no finch between the pillars and branches, there is no bucket arch under the eaves, the two ends of the main ridge are slightly upturned, there is no kissing beast to contrast, and there is no horned beast decoration on the vertical ridge.
Different from the ordinary house, this building has three courtyard gates, the main gate is the most solemn one of the doors, standing on the two-storey three-level stone platform, the blue wall and gray tiles, the black beam and Zhu door, there are bronze nails, in order to demonstrate the solemn and solemn ceremony.
The east gate, commonly known as the human gate, is the place where everyone in the intelligence department enters and exits, while the west gate is usually not opened, because it is the door that can only be passed by interrogating prisoners and escorting death row prisoners, which is also called the ghost gate.
At this time, Dong Taixuan stood at the east gate of the building and sent a prayer post.
And in this building, there are gods who will tell them layer by layer, and after a while, a man who is temporarily in charge of the affairs of Baiyun City walked out and welcomed Dong Taixuan in.
The two entered the inner hall, sat down with each other, and their own servants poured tea and water, that Dong Taixuan took a sip and nodded slightly, although he didn't understand tea, he also knew that this tea must be good, but the essence of heaven and earth contained in it was also the word "good tea".
The middle-aged man saw it, and said with a slight smile: "This tea is called Wumoqing, because it is slightly black when picked, and it is only produced between the cliffs of Moqing Mountain, which contains essence, and long-term drinking can also clear the heart and benefit the qi, if Sect Master Dong likes it, when he leaves, bring two catties, and when I talk about it!"
Hearing the man say this, Dong Taixuan's face did not show any joy, he pursed his lips slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said slowly: "Actually, I have something important to discuss today!"
"Oh, what's the matter?" the man smiled, putting the teacup down as well.
"The matter of Hongchen Dao ......" Dong Taixuan narrowed his eyes and said lightly......
