Fang Yu's pupils glowed red, and in his pupils, white runes lit up and spun slowly.

In the field of vision, the sand temple in front of him has been dissolved into countless laws and powers.

But at this time, Fang Yu didn't care about the various laws that existed around the Sand Temple.

His only goal is to find Ling'er.

Start with the first layer.

Fang Yu narrowed his field of vision, directly penetrating the thick walls, penetrating into every corner.

On the first floor, there is a traditional lobby with many statues and murals.

In addition, there were hundreds of people in turquoise robes standing in the lobby, similar to the guards seen at the gate.

They stood still, motionless and expressionless.

Just like Fang Yu had thought before, although these people were alive, they had lost their sense of autonomy and were manipulated by others, like puppets.

But even though there were a lot of abnormalities, Fang Yu didn't study them carefully.

Without seeing Ling'er, he directly raised his vision to the second layer.

On the second floor, there are no people to be seen, but there are also a lot of statues and murals.

3rd, 4th, 5th......

On the fifth floor in a row, Fang Yu saw a lot of strange things, but he just didn't find any trace of Ling'er.

The sixth floor, which is much smaller than the floor below, appears to be a private room.

Still didn't see Ling'er.

However, Fang Yu saw the goddess Qin Yao who had just met.

Goddess Qin Yao stood in front of a statue.

The statue, judging by its appearance, also takes on the form of a human.

But its head was covered with a black cloth.

"The face of the statue has to be covered, can it be so mysterious?" Fang Yu frowned slightly, narrowed his vision again, and passed directly through the layer of black cloth.

Then, he froze.

The head of the statue...... Nothing.

It seems to be a half-finished product, only the shape of the head is sculpted, and its face has not yet had time to be sculpted.

Perhaps it is for this reason that it is covered with a black cloth.

Fang Yu pulled his vision back, and saw the figure of the goddess Qin Yao standing in front of the sculpture.

At this time, the goddess of Qin Yao lowered her head and her body was motionless.

This static state looks extremely strange.

It's like the golem-like guards on the floor......

Puppet!?

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly.

Is this Qin Yao goddess also a puppet who has been manipulated!?

But when I talked to her just now, I didn't feel this way!

With Fang Yu's sensing power, as long as Qin Yao Divine Maiden had the slightest abnormality, it would be impossible to escape his eyes.

"Autonomous consciousness and manipulated consciousness switch to each other? or ......" Fang Yu squinted slightly, and the white runes on his pupils quickly turned.

Soon, in his field of vision, he dissected the entire body of the Qin Yao Goddess.

"There is nothing unusual about the body...... She is indeed a living person. Fang Yu touched his chin and said in his heart, "But the soul has disappeared...... Or rather, contraction. This should be due to the magic she cultivated. ”

Fang Yu raised his eyes again and looked at the statue in front of the goddess Qin Yao.

Inside the statue's head, there is a glowing bright spot the size of a fist.

"What is this?"

Fang Yu stared at this point of light, and after studying it for a while, there was no result.

So, he shifted his gaze, narrowed his field of view, and scanned the entire Sand Temple again.

Still didn't find Ling'er.

"Where are you hiding?" Fang Yu frowned and closed his eye of insight.

According to the surveillance video, it can basically be determined that Ling'er was taken away by the people of the Sand Temple.

But she wasn't in the Sand Temple.

Don't...... Ling'er has already been killed?

But this is unlikely.

If the people of the Sand Temple want Ling'er's life, they don't need to let that old man take Ling'er to the Western Capital, and if they see it on the street at the beginning, they can just kill it.

Since Ling'er was brought to the Western Capital, a covert handover was carried out...... Then Ling'er must have a role for them.

Thinking about it from this aspect, Ling'er's personal safety will not be a problem for the time being.

But that's just on the bright side.

In any case, if Ling'er falls into the hands of the other party, anything can happen.

"Sacrifice Ceremony ......"

At this time, Fang Yu remembered what the Goddess Qin Yao had said.

At ten o'clock tomorrow morning, a sacrificial ceremony will be held at Shashen Temple.

According to her, this should be a very important event, and there will be a lot of people present.

Combined with this incident, I remembered Ling'er's sudden disappearance...... Is there a connection?

Fang Yu's intuition told him that there was a high probability that there was a correlation between these two things.

Ling'er ...... Maybe it will appear at tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony.

"Mr. Fang, what now?" Bai Ran asked.

Fang Yu pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, go back first, and come tomorrow to see the so-called sacrificial ceremony." ”

He decided that if he still didn't see Ling'er at the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, he would take the most direct way to lift the Sand God Temple.

Doing so, although it is extremely risky for Ling'er, whose situation is unknown, is not in any other way.

......

Fang Yu and Bai Ran meditated directly at the bottom of the hill to kill time.

The moonlight is hazy, and then it becomes bright...... After that, the moon disappears and the sun rises.

The early morning sun shone on the ground, and Fang Yu and Bai Ran also got out of their meditative state and stood up.

It was nine o'clock in the morning.

When you walk to the top of the slope, you can see a large group of people gathered in front of the gate of Shashen Temple.

There was still an hour before the ceremony officially began, but the group of people was excited.

"Let's go, let's go join in the fun. Fang Yu said.

Soon, Fang Yu and Bai Ran came to the back of the crowd.

Several guards stopped in front of the stairs, apparently not allowing anyone to go up in advance.

"In less than an hour, we'll be in!"

"yes! I was so excited that I was shaking. ”

"Who isn't? The triennial ritual, the will of the gods will be seen later...... It's a person who has to be excited!"

In front of Fang Yu, several people were talking in low voices.

After thinking about it, Fang Yu stretched out his hand, patted the shoulder of the middle-aged man in front of him, and asked, "Brother Tai, I have a question I want to ask." ”

"What's the matter?!"

The middle-aged man turned around impatiently, and as soon as he saw Fang Yu's face, his face immediately changed.

At this time, Fang Yu's appearance was still Xie Tianhe's appearance.

"Thanks, Boss Xie!" The middle-aged man's face turned pale instantly, and he seemed to be extremely afraid.

Fang Yu immediately realized that the middle-aged man in front of him knew Xie Tianhe.

"Boss Xie......" Many people around saw Xie Tianhe, their faces changed, and they all said hello.

It seems that Xie Tianhe still has a head and a face in the Western Capital.

"Aren't everyone here?" Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

"Boss Xie...... We don't have a token...... But you have!" said a bald man standing next to him, "With your identity as Boss Xie, how can you stand here and wait with mortals like us?

"Oh, so you can enter early if you have a token?"

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked forward with Bai Ran.

After showing the blood jade statue in front of the guards, the guards let them go.

So, Fang Yu and Bai Ran walked up the ladder again.

After walking up the stairs, follow the path and walk through a few thresholds to the lobby on the first floor of Shashen Temple.

This place, Fang Yu swept through it with his Eye of Insight yesterday.

At this time, there were many people sitting on the chairs on both sides of the lobby.
