Chapter 059: Ritual
On the edge of the unknown lake, the shadow guards lit more than a dozen bonfires, forming a circle of thirty zhang. In the center, there is an earthen platform, on the left side of the confession is a stag, and on the right side is a wild boar, both of which were caught from nearby and just slaughtered.
There were still two people standing on the earthen platform, in front of the incense case was Sun Baichuan, with a thousand-year-old acacia wood magic sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was lit on top of the two sacrifices, but a wisp of blue and white qi emerged from the corpse and merged into the magic sword. Behind him stood ram ginseng, holding the soul nourishing wood and the talisman in his hand, watching quietly.
Under the altar, Mo Fei's mask covered his expression, and he turned his head to the stone man beside him and asked, "Don't you need your help?"
Shi Daoren stroked his long beard, "It's just a rebirth ritual, there is a rebirth talisman, and it doesn't take much mana, even a monk can complete it." ”
"That 'Mingzhen', do you see anything?"
Shi Daoren glanced at him, and suddenly regretted that he had refined the mask so well that he couldn't even penetrate his own divine thoughts, "I didn't have time to worry about it when I was fighting, but now that I think about it, it's a bit eyebrow-raising." ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"First of all, this person was sent by the ghost of Namirone, so he can know the code, and he can also grasp the whereabouts of the truth, and pretend to be an identity. ”
"Yes, go on. ”
"But this person is not a monk of Mira, nor is he a member of the Shengsheng Sect, I know a thing or two of the names and surnames of these two sects, and none of them have the right name. ”
"Hmm. ”
"This person is very strange, his cultivation is clearly only in the Jindan realm, but the means of transportation are a little unbelievable. For example, the punch in the air, or the measuring ruler, are too much beyond the Jindan level. There is also the art of curses, and the means of refining the power of robbery into a one-time magic weapon, which is incredible to me. From this point of view, this person should have touched a very high-level means, at least in the Yuanying realm. ”
"Oh? interesting, is there anything else?"
"Also, his method of assassination. Insidious and cunning, interlocking, only seeking to kill the target. This kind of performance reminds me of a place. ”
"Don't sell it, where?"
"Red Dust Building. ”
Mo Fei searched the database, but found no corresponding information, "What are you doing in Hongchen Building?"
"They are considered killers in the cultivation realm, but they don't take money, but owe cause and effect. Find them to kill people, and you will have a cause, and you will have your own things to do in the future. The monks are most afraid of karma, so their business has always been bad, but there are always people who come to them for various reasons. And they really can't do it. ”
"But what evidence?"
"The high-level killers of Hongchen Tower all have a very strange doppelganger method, called 'Thousand Faces of Others', which can not only help them disguise, but also temporarily control the body of the person they have just killed. That week, Shao Quan, I asked the shadow guard, someone saw that he was hit in the forehead by an object before attacking the ram ginseng, and fell to the ground and fell unconscious for a moment, I suspect that he was actually dead at that time, and the later sneak attack was controlled by the killer. ”
Mo Fei thought about Zhou Shaoquan's sneak attack for a while, there were indeed many strange things, a normal foundation building monk should not be so weak, and even needed to squeeze his body to complete that blow.
"There is also the fact that after the death of the man, the body turned into a butterfly and dissipated, leaving no trace, which is also consistent with the rumors. ”
Mo Fei didn't see the scene when "Mingzhen" died, and only then did he know that there was such a thing, and his heart moved, as if he had heard similar things at the Pangu level in the past?
Without dwelling too much on this issue, knowing that the assassin was from the Red Dust Building, his attention shifted to another question, "The deal has failed, why does Ram Ginseng still not mention the name of the traitor?"
Shi Daoren turned his hand and took out a compass, but it was something in the hands of "Mingzhen" before, let Mo Fei look at it, the latter glanced at it, and there were many runes marked on it, but he didn't know what it meant, "What do you see about this thing?"
"I've checked it, and this compass can indeed verify the authenticity, and there is no other ability. The 'Divine Extinguishing Needle' is separate from this object. "Why do you think he had to use the troublesome method of cursing instead of simply using a poison needle?"
Murphy listened, "You mean, the curse will stop him from speaking?"
Shi Daoren nodded, "That should be the case." I don't know much about the art of curses, but it's no surprise that it's unpredictable. If the killer was indeed sent by the inner ghost, his primary purpose was not to kill the ram ginseng, but to ensure that his name was not known. Therefore, the killer destroyed the list as soon as he got it, and that's why he asked the ram ginseng if he leaked the list. After destroying the jade talisman, he only needs to make Ram Ginseng unable to reveal the list again, but if he uses other methods, if he fails to kill with one blow, Ram Ginseng will have his last breath left, and he can also say his name. I guess he used the curse technique to set the list as a condition for the robbery to burst, and as soon as the ram tried to reveal it, it was immediately gone. ”
"I see. "Mo Fei has another understanding of the methods and minds of the monks of this world," and Ram Ginseng wanted to see Jiang An reincarnate, so he never mentioned the name. ”
Even so, he only had a stick of incense left to live. ”
On the high platform, Sun Baichuan had already finished the practice, and the Yin Qi on the Huaimu magic sword was swirling, and he pointed to the east and west directions with the sword, and chanted: "Seven halls of Yama, life and death are heard, the Three Realms reciprocate, the gate of reincarnation!"
There was a thunderstorm in the air, the cold wind blew, the bonfire was pressed into a small circle, and suddenly darkened in all directions, with the high platform as the center, a magic circle more than ten zhang wide suddenly unfolded on the ground, the earth trembled violently, and countless black gases came out of the ground, mixed with vague ghost crying.
A huge bronze gate slowly rose from the ground, and thousands of ghosts were carved on it, all of which were wailing.
"The ghost gate of the hidden capital, it is said to be a congenital treasure, leading to the Three Realms, its body has more than 3,000 zhang, which is just a shadow. Shi Daoren said to Mo Fei.
"Isn't it that the Nine Shades are isolated and can't come and go?"
"It's hard to get back and forth, but it's not impossible. Reincarnation is still there, but it is extremely difficult for the monks to enter and exit freely, except for the power of the fugue, the rest of the monks will be assimilated by the Nine Shadows when they enter this door, and they will become demons and ghosts after a while, and they will not be able to come back. ”
As he spoke, there was another change on the stage, Sun Baichuan took the soul nourishing wood, played a few legal decisions on it, and said: "Cleanse the dust, return to the spirit of the truth, towering Xuanqing, and take the extradition of the soul." Soul, return!"
A ray of blue and white light floated out of the wood, and turned into a vague figure of a woman, who flickered like a candle flame, and seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind at any moment.
Ram Ginseng looked at her, trembling all over, and couldn't help but take a step forward and called, "Xiao An!"
