Chapter 19: Dagger
From the moment I first entered this cave, I felt like I was being stared at.
And the entire cave is shrouded in demonic energy, and it is really not easy to find the main owner who exudes demonic energy.
"Well, I can feel a strong gaze that has been staring at us since we entered this cave."
Twilight replied.
Zhan Lu came closer and whispered in his ear, "Can you lock the location?" ”
The warm breath inevitably came into contact with his earlobes.
Twilight's ears reddened, and she replied with a steady mind.
"Not here, this is a kind of magic array, you have to break the formation to find the real location."
Zhan Lu nodded, she felt that the gaze was everywhere, sometimes in front, sometimes overhead, sometimes on the side, but when she went to capture the specific location, she couldn't capture it at all.
Her cultivation method is special, and it is different from the techniques, formations, talismans, and swordsmanship cultivated by the Immortal Cultivation faction, and she doesn't understand these either.
She was forced to go to the Infernal Hell, no one taught her, and most of her cultivation methods were figured out by herself.
Over the years, she had learned to attack, defend, and heal, which was enough for her, and she had no channel to learn these immortal spells.
She couldn't find the location of her gaze just now, so she thought about asking if there was a way for Twilight to use it.
Twilight is truly the dragon and phoenix among people, and she never disappoints her.
She knew from Twilight's answer that Twilight had a way.
Twilight carefully searched for the Eye of the Demon Array, and as long as she destroyed the Eye of the Formation, the Formation would be broken.
"Qiandu, nowadays, people make clay sculptures that are different in height, shape, and appearance?"
Zhan Lu decided that it was better to ask the questions in her heart.
"It varies from person to person, and some people will be so particular about it." Twilight replied as she earnestly searched for something suspicious.
It turns out that there really is such a thing.
"Twilight, the pattern on that dagger in that puppet's heart is different from the pattern on the dagger in the mouth of other clay people."
Zhan Lu pointed to one of the clay puppets and said.
Twilight's gaze shifted to the puppet, and she quickly swept over the daggers in the hearts of the other puppets around her.
The other daggers resemble replicas of this dagger, but there are some differences in details, most notably the flower on the handle.
The flower on the handle of the dagger at the mouth of the clay heart pointed out by Zhan Lu was six-petaled, and the rest were all five-petaled.
If Liu Qinuo was here, she would have found that this clay figure with a six-petal dagger was the male corpse with a blue face and bulging eyes more than ten years ago.
It's just that the current male specimen has been processed, and the eyeballs are no longer protruding.
Back then, only Liu Qinuo had seen the appearance and details of the man's corpse in detail.
Twilight didn't approach the man's corpse, but sensed a faint fluctuation of demonic energy from a few steps away.
From beginning to end, he didn't pay attention to the appearance of the male corpse.
Twilight made a quick decision and attacked the clay puppet.
The attack didn't hit the clay puppet, but the layer that covered the clay puppet was shattered by an otherwise invisible layer.
Immediately after that, the magic array was cracked, and the sight that had been following them like a shadow and spying on their every move disappeared in an instant.
After a few moments, the mud from all the clay figurines slowly retreated to their feet, merging with the land.
The soil faded, and the true face of the mud puppet Lushan was revealed in an instant.
It turned out that under the cover of the earth, without exception, all were real people, and to be precise, they were no longer people, but specimens carefully made by people.
They were between twenty and forty years old, and they were all men.
At first glance, it coincides with the age information of the missing person in Yacheng.
"There are not only a dozen or so people here, but also dozens of people on both sides of the aisle on the way we just came."
The number does not match, then the disappearance of the man should have appeared very early, why did Xianmen know about it now?
Although Zhanlu didn't ask the question behind the mouth, Qiandu took the initiative to explain as if she knew what she wanted to ask.
"There are many possibilities, the first one: these people come from different places, there are not many missing people in each place, they did not alarm the government, or the government did not act, did not investigate deeply, and did not think of letting the immortal family intervene."
"The second type: the family of the missing man did not report to the official, or the family did not find out the truth of the disappearance, and they have no power to find a channel for justice, so they will not be able to do it."
"The third type: Although the monster committed the crime in the place where the immortal family was stationed, she didn't use magic before, and the residence time was very short, so she was not noticed by the immortal family."
"Fourth: There are some relatively barren places where there are no immortals stationed, and it is difficult to detect the demons."
His answer was extraordinarily detailed, and on weekdays, he would never say so much in one breath.
Since getting along with Zhan Lu these days, he also knows more or less that Zhan Lu doesn't know a lot about many things nowadays, and she doesn't know the situation in Xianmen.
She seemed to be familiar with the world, but also very strange.
It's like it's been separated from this world for a long, long time, and it's been so long that time has passed.
Even Dai Peijiu could sense Zhan Lu's suspicions, he didn't know how many levels he was superior to Dai Peijiu, how could he not see it.
Is Zhan Lu not human, not immortal, not demon, not ghost, not demon?
It's just that he can't see what race Zhan Lu is.
When she first met, she had a strong ghost aura, but under the ghost aura, there was also a trace of clean and holy aura.
These days, the ghost aura on Zhan Lu's body has faded a little, and the holy aura has become more obvious.
He didn't know if Zhan Lu was evil, and he didn't know where Zhan Lu came from.
He didn't care about any of that.
He had a feeling, a strong feeling from the moment they first met.
He doesn't want her to be lost, he doesn't want her to be sad, he doesn't want to see her unhappy, he doesn't want her to be embarrassed, he doesn't want her to be hurt, he has a strong psychology of wanting to protect the other party.
All the things that Zhan Lu didn't know, he wanted to tell her patiently.
With Twilight's explanation, Zhanlu no longer bothered about the inconsistency between the number of specimens and the number of missing people in Yacheng.
I think these specimens were collected for a variety of reasons.
It's just that I didn't expect that in this world, monsters dare to be so rampant.
Suddenly, an angry female voice interjected abruptly.
"You immortal people are really like flies, you are everywhere, and you are so desperate to chase here."
Immediately after that, a woman walked out of the corner out of thin air, and it was the missing Oiran Feng Niang.
At the same time as her, there was a rain of red petals, beautiful and romantic.
Feng Niang walked from the rain of flowers, with a graceful posture and a soft pace.
When an ordinary man sees it, he will be obsessed with the other party's amorous feelings, and he will be stunned and only appreciate her beauty, and forget all other things.
