"There are 36 stone jars, and from the Taoist temple, they are in a triangular array. This placement looks a lot like some kind of formation to increase yang energy.

The runes on the periphery of these stone jars, that is, the words that Dr. Qin thought, were actually Taiyi Xuanhuo runes.

This kind of rune text is used by the 'Qianyuan Mountain' immortal family to refine the elixir, I don't know how Ji Zhenyuan in the Ming Dynasty could understand and control it.

This rune is engraved on the stone jar, although the power will be greatly reduced, but it can still calcine the soul of ordinary people, it is really yin poison, and it will break the yang life.

The stone jar is not covered with an ordinary bronze mirror, it is a kind of yin and evil thing, not only does it have the effect of warding off evil spirits and shining demons, but it will increase yin qi and attract the soul into it. This is an ingenious design, I have never seen it, I don't know if it was original by Ji Zhenyuan.

When looking at the ground within the area of the stone tank array, it was found that the soil was mixed with a large amount of red nitrate powder, so the color of the ground was darker than that of the periphery.

Red nitrate belongs to yang, and the effect is better than cinnabar, but it is very precious. It seems that Emperor Jiajing was anxious to seek the Immortal Pill and supported it at any cost, so there would be such a battle.

There are small white marble stone piles on both sides of the stone cylinder array, and when Director Wu described it, he had already guessed what it was. When I checked it, I found that there was a soul-inducing scripture on the stone pile, which was indeed the soul-controlling pile of the Maoshan faction.

The soul control pile was originally used by the Zhongyuan local officials in the seventh and half months to amnesty the world's 'ghost gate array', and its function was to contain the souls attracted in a range and use them to do large-scale rituals during the Zhongyuan Festival.

And there are multiple soul control piles in that place, and the arrangement extends to the front of the stone platform, which should also be used to help the formation, probably to trap the fleeing evil spirits.

The stone table is also engraved with Taiyi Xuanhuo runes. The large bronze on the stone platform is a special Dan furnace, and the vertical bronze is essentially a soul-attracting flag, which is stronger than the soul-attracting flag.

The first time I looked at the Dan furnace above, I found that there was a hand-shaped artifact on the lid of the furnace, and it was in the shape of a fist as described by Director Wu. At the junction of the fist and the lid, there are a few drops of round substance that have dried up, which is judged to be human blood.

This discovery was the trigger for the incident and was later verified.

Here's how the whole thing came about.

According to the description on the gold leaf paper, it was inferred that Ji Zhenyuan wanted to create a resentful spirit, seal it into the elixir, and make this red spirit pill to seek immortality for Emperor Jiajing.

The greater the resentment, the better the effect.

Tie up the living people into the stone jar, add firewood to cook the living people below, and people have grievances when they die, but this grievance is far from satisfying, so Ji Zhenyuan made a complete formation of grievances.

Thirty-six stone jars are set up, and their formations form a full yang environment, and then in that range, spread the soil mixed with red nitrate, so that the yang energy is more intense, and it becomes a yang realm circle.

After the Taiyi Xuanhuo rune was engraved on the stone jar, after the living person was boiled alive, the soul already had resentment, turned into a fierce soul, and could not escape from the strong yang energy circle, and was roasted by the Xuanhuo rune, and the resentment was even stronger.

At this time, it will directly become a second-level murderous soul or a third-level ghost. In the case of no ability to escape out of the stone tank, there is yang energy around it, so they will choose to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and drill towards the place where there is yin energy.

The evil mirror above the stone jar is facing inward, and the evil spirit burrows into the mirror. There is a connection between each mirror, and the Soul Riding Pile may have a traction effect here, leading the evil spirits one by one to the bronze mirror on the stone platform.

The bronze soul-attracting banner on the stone platform has a small bronze mirror on one side and corpse oil in Fluttershy on the other. When the murderous spirit enters the mirror, the corpse oil will spontaneously combust. This corpse oil can not only attract evil spirits, but also make people fall into illusions and never recover.

Why that small bronze mirror has been stainless for a hundred years is probably because it contains yin qi and has been nourishing.

At this point, through this small bronze mirror, the fierce soul is led to the alchemy, and through the method, it is introduced into the elixir.

This should be the process of refining the Red Spirit Pill.

The source of this incident was that someone accidentally pierced his hand when he was checking the alchemy weapon, and the hand-shaped artifact was originally a bloody mechanism, which would hurt people if touched.

Human blood belongs to the yang, which touches the law, making the fierce soul overflow, and there are strange things, and at the same time, the people working in the stone tank array below are affected, but fortunately, the ground in that area is blessed with red nitrate yang qi, so it is not so serious, it is just an evil rush.

Five missing people have been rescued ......"

When he heard this, Qin Ding's pupils shook suddenly, and he even stopped breathing.

In a matter of seconds, questions quickly welled up in my mind.

Rescued? Do you mean they're all alive? Can...... Didn't you say they were all killed?

Qin Ding's mind became confused, but ...... After that sentence, the tape seemed to jam, and the sound was distorted and shaky, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

Qin Ding looked at the tape recorder in his hand and showed an incredible expression.

It won't be such an inch, right, drop the chain at a critical moment?

He pressed the rewind button, then played it again.

The two holes of the tape rotated normally, and the sound inside regressed.

“…… So it's not that serious, it's just an evil rush.

Five missing people have been rescued ......"

Qin Ding held his breath, but the content after this sentence was still like that, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

He pressed the pause button, scratched his head anxiously, and went back to listen again, the tape seemed to be broken, and the sound was very weird.

Qin Ding was a little unwilling, and listened to it a few more times, and actually heard some words clearly.

"The missing five have been rescued,...... Incomplete........................ Flesh............ Level 4 ...... Please............ Back to .................."

Although it was a little clear, it was impossible to piece them together, and the content was a little further on, and the sound was completely unrecognizable in the middle of the story, which was already very obvious, and this part of the tape was broken.

He remembered that when he was at school, the tape recorder would malfunction and the tape strip would be broken, and the movement that came out was like this, but he suddenly thought, if it was this kind of physical damage, why was the A side fine?

So, how is this bad? It's certainly not a problem with the Soul Hunter recording.

Qin Ding didn't know it either, the tape was still playing, and the chatter was intermittent, like some kind of weird language.

He had already given up and looked at the tape recorder screen, and the small black digital display was still more than 1 minute away.

He became a little anxious, what is the truth about the disappearance of his parents, and the failure of the tape, how to write it in the notebook when the time comes? This must be told to Uncle Ma.

Yes, Uncle Ma will solve it, and he should still know about it.

As he pondered, the tape suddenly became a little more normal, but his voice was still a little shaky, but he could hear what was being said.

“……，…… Disposed of by the 'Governor'.

Soul Hunter: Lu Xiaohu

Delivery time: April 23, 1997, 23 May 1997"

Qin Ding was surprised at first, and then a little angry, this tape is really good at picking paragraphs, what is the use of hearing it clearly at the end.

He picked up the tape recorder and looked at it, which showed that there were about 20 seconds left.

He was just about to press a random button to finish, when another sound came from the tape recorder.

The person who spoke was a man, and he spoke very quickly, as if he were in a hurry.

Before Qin Ding could react to what was going on, and before he could hear what was being said, the tape snapped and it was over.

He glanced at the tape recorder and wondered what he was talking about in the last ten seconds?

Confused, he pressed the rewind button, then quickly switched back to play, brought the tape recorder closer, and listened carefully with his ears sideways.

The voice was inaudible, a little low, as if it was spoken in a suppressed voice, and some parts were still the same as before, and they couldn't be heard clearly.

"Since you can hear this***, and your surname is Qin, then you have already been involved. It's not ***, *** can't escape. If you want to live, *** listen well.

Must stay, *** die faster. Be careful*** and don't ask *** about this set of tapes***. Remember the *** mantra, don't**Qiankun**, you must tell the white face to be black, so as to save your life!! ”

This passage took fifteen seconds, and although some bytes were completely inaudible, the rest of the content was enough to send chills down Qin Ding's spine.

It is clearly emphasized that he seems to be involved in some kind of danger, which makes him think that this content is credible, all because of the 1997 tape, someone actually knew his surname Qin in advance.

It couldn't have been arranged before he came, but it didn't make sense.

He is a recent high school graduate, he has no background, and he took the initiative to find a job, without anyone around him, how could he have been arranged a long time ago.

He put his hand to his lips uneasily, and thought about it.

Since yesterday, the worldview has been constantly deviating, and the things that subvert cognition have not yet been clarified whether they are true or false, and the disappearance of parents is actually among them, and now there is such a shocking sentence, which is too problematic.

What exactly can you get involved in? Can't escape?

The more he savored these words, the more uneasy and panicked he felt, and fear converged from his ribs to his heart, as if something unknown was trying to kill him in the shadows.

He glanced at the time, it was already close to noon, maybe Uncle Ma would come in a while.

His instinct told him that he could not hesitate any longer, that it was better to break the contract than to really happen, and he decided in an instant to leave this strange place as soon as possible.

He got up from his chair, looked into the courtyard, and prayed that Uncle Ma would not come over at this time.

He glanced at one of the drawers, which contained the five thousand dollars, struggled inwardly, gritted his teeth, turned his head and walked to the door.

The sun was scorching outside, and the moment he walked out of the house, he was surrounded by a heat wave, but this feeling made him even more frightened, this place was too evil.

He walked a few steps to the gate of the courtyard, and his heart beat wildly like a thief.

He tried to pull the courtyard door, but it didn't lock it.

The door was opened, and the dazzling sunlight rushed in, which made him feel somewhat relieved.

He looked behind him, and the old mansion was still so quiet, but it made him even more panicked.

He didn't hesitate any longer, stretched out his legs and stepped out, half of his body was still in the door, but the light in front of him was suddenly obscured by something, which made his body stunned, and before he could get out of the door, then, a dazzling white light instantly smashed down in front of him.

There was no sound at all, a physical instinct that made him react extremely quickly and fell into the door.

If it weren't for the scorched black on the bluestone slab outside the door, Qin Ding would have thought that he was hallucinating, was it a thunder that fell from the sky just now?

My legs are shaking, my eyelids are jumping, it's unbelievable.

He got up with a quick breath, and looked up from the yard in some embarrassment, there was not even a cloud in the sky, where did the thunder come from?

He couldn't suppress the chill on his body for several days, and a strange feeling was like a female ghost's hair wrapped around his neck, making him difficult to breathe in horror.

He leaned closer to the courtyard gate, and the sun was still strong.

Is that Ray? He tentatively stretched out his arm slowly, his hand just poked out of the door, the light and shadow in front of him changed significantly, he didn't think about it, he directly withdrew his hand immediately, at the same time, a dazzling light mark appeared, silently smashed on the bluestone slab, and instantly made the slate crack and scorched.

For a moment, his head could not think, and his eyes were staring in disbelief.
