Throughout mid-May, Li Zhen spent his out-of-body night tour, searching for useful clues from Mei Ji's side, but searching the entire room and inside and outside the palace to no avail.

Li Zhen thought about it: "Now there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower. ”

"The best strategy is to run directly to the old man, and tell him that your beautiful lady looks energetic, send me to play, with his urine, maybe he will gladly agree. ”

Thinking of this, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little complicated.

In a sense, the lord of Xuanxin is really good at talking.

"But that's not the best idea. ”

"It's always a trouble for such a big living person to get here, and it may even attract the attention of the demons. ”

"The middle strategy is to report to the Hearsay Division and sit back and enjoy the results. ”

"But the Hearsay Division has long been secretly wary of informants, and it is also possible that there will be extraneous complications. ”

"The next step is to keep an eye on the woman, but I'm floating above my head while she's sleeping, I'm floating behind my back when she's removing her makeup, and I'm floating outside the door when she's changing clothes...... Those who know say that they are surveilling, and those who don't know think they are playing hooliganism. ”

Li Zhen feels that it is not too much to spend a certain amount of time, energy and patience in order to obtain secrets, but it is never a good thing to lose all the discipline.

"There is a difference between men and women, and it won't be so embarrassing if you change to a man...... No, if it's a man, it's even more embarrassing, right?"

The upper, middle and lower strategies all have drawbacks, and Li Zhen had to give full play to his ingenuity and think of other ways.

He recalled the results of these days of surveillance, and it occurred to him that on the fifteenth, she prayed again, mentioning the "routine report".

In this way, she either takes the initiative to contact once on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the new year, or on the fifteenth of every month. ”

The incense in her hand can last for at least another three months, and in a short period of time, there should be no one to connect with it and replenish the incense, so it is impossible to say that it still falls on the matter of lighting incense. ”

"Try to track down the field the next time she does that and find the presence that answers the prayer!"

However, supplementing incense can also be used as a candidate clue, the former fails, and the latter can be made up immediately, so as to be prepared. ”

The specific method, of course, is with the help of rejuvenating incense.

Li Zhen decided that when Mei Ji attracted that being again, he would also light the soul rejuvenation incense nearby and guide a large group of incense to send it in!

I didn't notice it at all twice in a row, and the cultivation level that existed should not have reached the Yuan Infant, as long as I found it, I could go over and monitor it directly.

On another day, Li Zhen found an excuse to go to the palace to visit the lord of the country, and then went out of his body in the evening to carry the things he had left in the nearby grass to the courtyard where Mei Ji lived.

This is the residence of the female dependents, and it is inconvenient for the monks sitting in the palace to take care of it, but it is convenient for him to act.

As expected, late at night on the twenty-fifth day, Mei Ji lit incense and prayed, and once again contacted a mysterious existence in the distance.

Li Zhen hurriedly lit the soul rejuvenation incense at the root of the backyard wall, and then urged the incense to rush inside.

Although the fragrance of the rejuvenating incense is not easy to be melted by the divine soul, it has the characteristic of spreading extremely quickly, and this effort has already drifted to nowhere.

Fortunately, the whole prayer process was not long, and after Mei Ji stopped, he threw the whole lit soul rejuvenation incense into the pool and crushed it, leaving a trace of destruction.

There is already a lot of fragrance overflowing, and this smell can be smelled everywhere, and then it is time to test the natural ability.

Li Zhen began to try to find a target within a radius of hundreds of miles, which was the second place where incense was concentrated after this palace.

After some comparison, Li Zhen suddenly shook violently.

"Really found it, in the southwest direction!"

Fortunately, the place in the sense was only a hundred miles away from the royal city.

Li Zhen flew along the river and soon found that he was in a town in the upper reaches of Lianhe County last time.

He recalled the map he had seen before: "This place seems to be called Jiukou Town?"

Under the cover of night, Jiukou was calm and serene, and there were no traces of the demon path lurking, and the rancid blood that Li Zhen perceived was mostly a spiritual projection, and he didn't see anyone, and he couldn't smell it out of thin air, so he could only enter the street and search around aimlessly.

Since there was no continuous burning of the Soul Rejuvenation Incense, the incense that had been shuttled through the Void had already spread, like a mist permeating the entire town, and for a while, it was impossible to accurately lock on to the target.

But at this time, Li Zhen was not in a hurry.

He had read the Persona Division's dossier, and knew that the demons were very patient, and generally wouldn't move around for no reason.

Suddenly, Li Zhen smelled a very faint smell of rotting corpses, followed the traces, and came to a large house with a high gate, which immediately became thick.

It seems to be the mansion of the local squire, it is quiet in the dead of night, peaceful, and there is nothing abnormal to see, but there is nothing to hide under Li Zhen's perception.

Soon, he saw a scalp-tingling scene in a cellar in the backyard of the mansion.

I saw that in the small space of a few zhang square, there were about more than 100 human head centipedes, purple zombies, white zombies, green zombies, water monkeys, mandrills and other corpse demons rubbing shoulders one after another, densely crowded together.

Above the cellar, in a wing room in the backyard on the west side, someone was disposing of the corpse of a young girl lying on a table by the light of an oil lamp.

It is not difficult to see that this is a drowning victim, the body has begun to swell, and there are bruises on the hands and feet, shoulder blades, waist and abdomen.

Busy at the table was an old man who had gone gray with his hair but still his arms steady, like a craftsman who was obsessed with his craft, cutting open the chest and lungs of the girl on the table, pouring a black oil like ink, and then sewing it back with thick brown thread.

He didn't use many tools, but all of them were high-quality magic weapons that contained a certain amount of spiritual power.

The black oil was also unusual, and it didn't take long for the girl's skin to turn purple, but the stiff posture began to soften.

As a cold air flow spread all around, the walls of the entire room were covered with a white mist like frost.

Suddenly, her eyes moved, and the dead girl seemed to have come back to life, revealing a hideous look of resentment.

The old man seemed to be accustomed to this, and did not pay attention to it, but just pulled a rope next to him, summoning two young disciples who were guarding outside.

"Take it out and soak it in Nineteen. ”

"Yes!" the two young disciples replied, and immediately carried the girl to another cellar with bamboo mats.

Li Zhen followed and looked at it, and his mood was extremely heavy.

There are about thirty large clay pots that can hold adults, and they are soaked in a turbid liquid like blood, thick acid and bloody accumulation, which is disgusting.

"The Demon Dao Sect, the Hades Sect is the most evil, no wonder it is notorious!"

Li Zhen continued to explore this demon path den with anger, and found a total of three people with deep qi who were not inferior to the envoys, one of them was an old man he had just seen, and the other was a burly man with a height of seven feet, his body was shaped like an iron tower, and his skin was bruised, as if he had cultivated an evil skill of corpse poison refining.

"What he is good at should be similar to the corpse refining technique of horizontal kung fu, but the effect is much better, and he can be invulnerable to idle swords and even magic weapons. ”

Li Zhen was deeply jealous of this, because he was now lacking in strength, and he was only suitable for sneak attacks, not suitable for dealing with this kind of person.

The last one was deep, but the noteworthy one was a soft-looking young woman, who looked slightly younger than herself, about the same age as the Ninth Princess.

When Li Zhen found this woman, she was working cross-legged on the bed in the big house in the inner courtyard, and the blood-colored light like a cloud of mist lingered around her body.

Li Zhen sensed it through the window and found that her aura was extremely deep and strong, giving people the feeling that it was not inferior to Zhu Ming, a sloppy Taoist in the late stage of qi refining.

But what made people quite confused was that after getting closer, they still didn't smell the unique smell of rotting corpses of the disciples of the Corpse Immortal Sect, but instead there was a strong fragrance like a fishy sweetness mixed with nightshade, as if it made people feel dizzy.

Li Zhen was worried that excessive snooping of his divine sense would arouse the other party's vigilance, so he only used his talent to smell the fragrance and recognize people, and deeply recorded the texture of this smell, and thought to himself: "Isn't she a disciple of the Corpse Immortal Sect?"

"But if you weren't a disciple of the Corpse Immortal Sect, why would you be with these people?"

The whole Corpse Immortal Sect is accustomed to refining corpses, and the aura of sacrifice refining is mostly of a corrupt nature, and it is easy to be contaminated with the smell of corpses when dealing with corpses all year round, which is very easy to distinguish.

Suddenly, Li Zhen remembered something: "Could it be that this is a ghost sect person?"

The two sects of corpse immortals and ghosts have always been allied, and in their own words, they are called intimate, but in the eyes of the Xianmen monks, they are called colluded and embarrassed.

The two sects come from the same source, each other's paths are just like the two poles of yin and yang, more complementary and less conflicting, since its inception, it is good to mix oil in honey, and even often marry, exchanging various resources with each other.

If it is said that there may be disagreements between the Corpse Immortal Sect and the White Bone Sect, and even the Huangquan Sect, there may be intrigues and intrigues, but the disciples of these two sects have a friendship that even the Righteous Dao Sect should be amazed by, which is definitely an alternative in the entire camp of demonic cultivators.

"Corpse Fairy, Ghost ......"

Li Zhen suddenly realized something, and looked at the blood mist that haunted this woman's body, as if he had faintly found some vague figures in the depths, like a yin spirit living in it.

"It's really a ghost sect member!"

"This seems to be the bloody demon cloud mentioned in the Persona Division file, and it has both virtual and real attributes that corrode flesh and spirit!"

"It's just knocking the bone and sucking the marrow!"

"Deprived mortals of their lives, not to mention sacrificing their corpses to refine demons, they didn't even spare their souls......"

With a heavy heart, Li Zhen continued to investigate the specific situation of this demon stronghold, and found a total of three people suspected of being above the middle and late stages of qi refining, ten people in the early stage or new ding, more than 150 demons of all kinds, hundreds of suspected family members, servants, and minions, and even some ordnance hidden in the warehouse.

This is a large force, if it weren't for Li Zhen's out-of-body means, which can avoid their ears, eyes and perceptions, it would never be possible to easily enter and probe in such detail.

But what puzzled him was that he searched the entire mansion, but still didn't find what he was looking for.

"Could it be that the mysterious being I'm looking for is the woman I just saw?"

"What she cultivates seems to be the method of the Ghost Soul Sect, which can transform the remnant soul of the victim into a bloody yin spirit, driven by herself, if there is any obscene worship and the method of controlling the yin ghost, it is not surprising. ”

There are ghosts in this world, and the secret method of Shinto has already sprouted, but it is just not a climate, after all, becoming an immortal is the mainstream, meaning the same as the heart of heaven, and being free and easy is the right way.

Li Zhen suspected that the woman was because these exercises were deeply involved, and they were all methods that could bypass and assist each other, and there were even often Yin spirits and sneaky people who pretended to be gods, guided obscenity, deceived ignorant people to worship themselves, and then enjoyed their incense and wish to strengthen their own bodies.

His own incense seems to have become an excellent medium of communication, and has been used, and even developed a use for prayer communication.

While Li Zhen was thinking, the woman in the big house finished her luck and came out to give orders, and immediately someone went to the cellar to invite the old man.

Li Zhen perked up and followed the woman to the main hall to listen to their discussion.

"Miss Lin, you summoned the old man here, but for tomorrow's sacrifice?"

Soon after, the old man came, gave a brief salute, and got straight to the point.

"Yes, Old You, can everything be arranged?" asked the girl from Nalin.

She has a soft appearance and a soft voice, if it weren't for the bloody atmosphere and the appearance of the yin spirit when she practiced the exercises, it would be difficult for people to believe that she was a female demon who was dementored.

You Lao said: "Don't worry, it has been held many times, and it has its own rules to follow." ”

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and said proudly: "The villagers here have long been convinced that the water monsters in the river eat people one after another because the river god is angry, even if the Xuanxin State court has been purged many times, the private sacrifices are still endless, and the inheritance of the river god has been passed down for nearly 10,000 years. ”

Miss Lin smiled faintly and said, "The people are ignorant, this is our opportunity." ”

You Lao shook his head and sighed, and said: "The people are not really ignorant, the fundamental reason is that they are still weak. ”

Miss Lin's eyes moved slightly: "Oh?"

You Lao said: "Only if you are weak, you will hold on to the life-saving straw in front of you, even if you are occasionally smart and wise, you still have a blind eye, and you only want to dissolve in front of you." ”

"We have the authority to dominate the blessings and misfortunes of the coastal cities, life and death, whether they believe in it or not, they have to sacrifice to sacrifice, and even in the years when the predecessors left here, it is difficult to take into account, there are still squires and tyrants who spontaneously organize and support the people, and continue the customs and habits for thousands of years, so that the inheritance will not be broken. ”

After all, whether it is praying for rain or eliminating disasters, they are all the needs of the people, and they cannot meet them, so they can only let them go, if not, they will be denounced as evil demons, and we will become saviors. ”

"The god of the Great Silky River, sacrifices, customs, ......"

When Li Zhen heard this, his heart shook violently, and he suddenly remembered something.

He finally knew what the roots of the mysterious being he had seen before were.

Just when Li Zhen's mood was agitated, Miss Lin's expression suddenly changed: "Who?"
