Chapter 43: The Dark Passage of the Shrine

Lu Liang had also experienced the baptism of various blockbusters in his previous life, and he originally thought that he was numb to this bloody scene and would not have any special reaction, but when he was really here, a sense of fear that he had never experienced before was strongly stimulating his upper limit of his endurance.

"Master Zhao, bring our people in and work."

Cui Mian greeted the people of Dali Temple who were waiting outside the door, and walked into the front hall as usual.

Carefully observing the big characters, Cui Mian stretched out his finger and dipped it in some blood, twisted it, sniffed it and put it in his mouth, and then sneered: "Is this for me?" Is it a threat that I want to get out of the way? ”

"It's the right time to come this time, I've found a treasure." Different from Cui Mian's calmness, Zuo Yuntang was looking at the bloody big characters with bright eyes, dancing excitedly in the front yard of the inn, and then neatly tied up his long hair, and rolled up his sleeves high.

This is obviously a big job, not at all like he is here to avenge his fiancΓ©.

"Lu Cailang, you just go around here, don't start if you see anything curious, just greet me or Cui Sicheng."

Lu Liang snorted, endured the discomfort, and took Cui Qing, who was shrunk behind him, to look around in the front yard of the inn.

"Prisoner Zuo, come and see the material of this blood character." Cui Mian saw Zuo Yuntang walk into the front hall and greeted him.

Zuo Yuntang approached, skillfully dipped some blood and carefully distinguished, and then sniffed it and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's not like pure blood, it's a little too viscous, and the taste is not right, it's much heavier than the taste of human blood, and I'm afraid that the amount of blood just writing this word will squeeze out forty or fifty people."

Cui Mian nodded, stood on tiptoe and looked behind the inn through the small window on the eaves: "This is too rough, look at the backyard." ”

Zuo Yuntang also looked at the backyard when he heard this, and then a disdainful smile appeared on his face: "Cui Sicheng, it seems that they are not ordinary afraid of you." ”

As mentioned earlier, the inn was converted from a country house of a wealthy merchant, and to a large extent it retains its previous architectural specifications. Starting from the gate, enter the front yard and the cloisters on the left and right sides, walk through the front yard is the front hall of the guests, open two hanging flower doors on the left and right sides of the front hall, and walk in to the backyard of the inn.

The backyard is relatively much more changed. Except for the verandah on both sides and the pavilion next to the pool, the other wings have been converted into guest rooms.

Judging from the positions of Zuo Yuntang and Cui Mian, the front yard and the back yard are two worlds. The front yard is full of flesh and blood, as if walking in an infernal hell, and the back yard is like a quiet and peaceful country home.

Cui Mian shrugged: "Who knows what they think, maybe they don't know that the more they bluff, the more they prove their fear."

The two of them checked inch by inch in the front yard, and it didn't take long for Cui Mian to find what she was looking for, straighten up and greet Lu Liang and Fan Shuqing.

Lu Liang looked over when he heard this, and found that Cui Mian was standing next to the lamp niche in the front hall, struggling at a piece of masonry under the lamp niche.

Looking at the lantern niche that didn't move no matter how hard she tried, Cui Qing could only helplessly choose to ask Fan Shuqing for help: "General Fan, please also take action to open this secret door, the mechanism that opened the door has been destroyed, and now it can only be opened by force." ”

Fan Shuqing nodded, did not answer, and directly pointed to the sword and used the aura to point towards the lantern shrine. However, to her slight surprise, the lamp had been struck by her, but nothing had changed.

"Stand back." Fan Shuqing pulled out the long sword, and a huge aura emerged from the long sword, pressing the surrounding people to retreat several steps, the long sword slowly flew up from Fan Shuqing's hand, and flew into the air before stopping.

Lu Liang swallowed and spit, pulled Cui Qing behind him and took a few steps back to hide behind the pillars of the corridor, Cui Mian and the others also saw that Fan Shuqing was serious, and hurriedly trotted into the distance to hide.

Just when a few people had just dodged, a black and white Taiji disk under the lantern niche rotated and appeared, and with the appearance of the Taiji disk, the flying sword in the air also began to buzz, until Fan Shuqing stretched out his hand, and the flying sword pierced down violently with the sound of hunting and breaking through the air.

Boom –

A puff of smoke and dust stirred up, and a crater with a diameter of more than half a meter was formed near the niche as if it had been hit by a small missile.

In the middle of the crater, the niche had been completely shattered, revealing a narrow staircase with strange patterns painted on it, but it was obviously incomplete, and most of it had been destroyed by Fan Shuqing's blow just now.

After the smoke and dust dissipated, Cui Mian jumped down the pit and took a closer look.

Just as Cui Mian was engrossed in observing the lines on the steps, Zuo Yuntang's voice came from above the pit: "Sure enough, it's this pattern again." ”

Cui Mian's pupils shrank when she heard this: "Huh? Does Supervisor Zuo know this pattern? ”

Zuo Yuntang replied with a snort: "I told you before, after the whole village of Wangji Village was killed, I came here, and at that time, the murderer had not had time to clean up the scene, and I found this strange pattern in several places in the village. ”

As she spoke, she groped for a while in her arms, took out a few sheets of paper stacked together, unfolded them, and spread them next to the hole, and several people compared the lines drawn on the paper with the lines on the steps, and saw the similarities.

Of course, except for Lu Liang, he didn't know anything about the formation pattern, even if there was anything the same, he couldn't see it.

Cui Mian looked at the lines on the paper and narrowed his eyes: "Then does the left prisoner have any research on these lines?" ”

Zuo Yuntang shook his head: "No, whether it is my master or the formation gentlemen of Guozijian, they are at a loss for anything, and even the basic pattern logic of this set of patterns is completely different from the formation we know." ”

Cui Mian got up and said, "Okay, I'll let people extend this pattern in a while, now I need to go and see where this dark passage leads, and what kind of thing needs to be protected with such a formation." ”

Zuo Yuntang put away the few pieces of paper with lines painted, nodded approvingly, and then said to Lu Liang: "Lu Cailang has not cultivated himself, so don't go down, I don't know what dangers will be down there." ”

Lu Liang just wanted to say that he wouldn't go down, but since Zuo Yuntang took the initiative to mention it, he could just go down the steps. However, before he could speak, Cui Qing's subordinates who came in also searched the inn and came back to recover their lives.

"Cui Sicheng, the thirty-nine people left here by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are all dead, and their heads have been cut off, except for a few hanging here, the others are placed in various rooms. Just now, seven brothers were careless during the examination, and they were hit by the agency and lost their breath before they could be treated. ”
