Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Golden Finger Hammer
Li Xuan really wanted to save face for his boss, but he really got nothing.
He was about to shake his head, wanting to say no, when he saw thousands of red threads exploding and scattering from behind him, just like at the scene of the wolf murder yesterday, to capture the remnants of the dead who had been summoned by Zhang Yingyuan and had not completely dispersed.
But at this moment, Li Xuan's mind was once again like being hammered, and he was violently dizzy. At the same time, a bloody and unfamiliar message appeared in his mind.
It was some of the same vague memories of the wolf killings that had been struck before, like old mosaic films.
In this fragmented memory, Li Xuan vaguely sensed that his body seemed to be tied, tied to a wooden stake in a large shape. In front of his eyes was an altar three stories high.
There were more than a dozen figures holding peachwood swords walking and dancing on it, but the picture was too shadowy to see clearly. In the center of the altar was a huge blood coffin.
But due to the perspective of view, Li Xuan couldn't see the situation inside the blood coffin, and only saw blood spilling around.
This picture only appeared for a moment, and it began to disintegrate, and at the same time, a sharp pain rushed into Li Xuan's heart.
Li Xuan knew that it was everyone who was in this memory picture, and he was about to die.
He didn't wait passively like the last time, but desperately observed from all sides, trying to find clues that could be used.
But most of the surrounding scenes are hazy, chaotic, and difficult to distinguish.
It wasn't until Li Xuan saw that at the top of the altar, above the blood coffin, there was something floating that made him quite familiar. Looking at its position, it is clearly the core position of the entire magic circle!
"That's, Thunder Meteorite?"
That texture, color, is almost exactly the same as the thunder meteorite that Li Xuan is wearing now. It's just a different shape, a whole circle bigger.
Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and just as he was about to take a closer look, he found that the thunder meteorite suddenly exploded into dust with a 'tent' sound.
Then a few panicked voices rang out on the altar, and the words 'terrible', 'revolting', 'uncontrollable', and 'replaced' could be faintly heard.
Li Xuan was about to listen intently, but it was dark in front of him.
"What's the matter with you?"
When Li Xuan was in a coma, a slender arm reached over to support him.
Li Xuan quickly relieved his breath, and his mind struggled out of the darkness and drowsiness brought about by death, and then he found that Jiang Hanyun was looking over with a little worry and guilt: "Li Xuan, are you okay now?
She suspected that it was the sequelae left by Li Xuan's previous unconscious by the bloody apprentice, these evil cultivators were mostly evil methods that hurt people's spirits.
Jiang Hanyun regretted her recklessness at that time, she knew that the old way was bloodless, and she would definitely wait until she summoned enough capable people to do it.
"It's okay to be humble, it's just that I've been practicing the exercises recently, and my divine thoughts have been a little bit lost. ”
Li Xuan casually made an excuse to prevaricate, and then looked in the direction of the altar again, while recalling the pictures he saw in his mind.
One of the most impressive is the scene where the thunder meteorite bursts open. Li Xuan also remembered that Le Qianqian once said that there were only seventeen thunder meteorites in the world that survived.
And with the power of their six Dao Divisions, they can completely trace their final whereabouts!
And judging from the memory screen, the role of this object is very crucial, even if it is not the hub core of this altar, the role is extremely important.
Once the existence of this thing is known, the process of deducing the structure of the altar by that Deputy Heavenly Master Zhang will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!
The question is, how can he tell this clue, and how can he win the trust of people without revealing the female ghost in red behind him?
It would be best to be able to find the powder and debris from the thundermeteorite burst, which can be done, although the people have cleaned the valley clean. Judging from the memory pictures obtained by Li Xuan, the impact of the thunder meteorite explosion at that time was full. The dust and gravel that has been blown up may impact three or four hundred meters away, and it is very likely to scatter to the area outside the valley.
Li Xuan didn't believe that those murderers could completely remove the dust of these thunder meteorites without leaking, but this required him to search carefully.
But just as Li Xuan had just had this thought, those blood-red silk threads burst out from behind him again, stretching in all directions.
This time, the female ghost in red was no longer targeting the soul fragment. Some of these red lines penetrate directly under the soil layer, and some extend beyond the valley, especially the hills and backs on both sides. There were even a few bundles of them, which landed near him.
In addition, the thickness of these red threads is slightly different.
Li Xuan's face suddenly became strange.
He thought to himself, could these red lines be pointing to the place where the thunder meteorite fragments fell? This female ghost in red was helping him?
Li Xuan couldn't help but turn his head and glanced at the red-clothed female ghost again, thinking that this guardian spirit was quite effective. If it weren't for the tingling and numbness in his chest, which had become worse at this moment, he would have been very happy now.
Just when Li Xuan was a little distracted, Jiang Hanyun suddenly stretched out her hand and flicked her fingers on his forehead, her eyes were slightly suspicious: "Why are you always distracted? Also, what kind of exercises do you practice? will make you so tired that you faint?"
But her attention was quickly pulled back by Li Xuan: "Lord Captain, when it comes to discovering, there is really something to be gained in the future." ”
This sentence not only made Jiang Hanyun, who didn't have any hope, stunned for a while, but also Ma Chenggong next to him and those people from the Ghost Capital and the Fire Crow Capital, all looked sideways at Li Xuan.
Most of the people's expressions were disbelief, and some even looked stunned and wanted to see the joke.
Thundercloud also smiled and clasped his hands on his chest and looked over to them.
"Tell me, what did you find?" Jiang Hanyun still has some expectations for Li Xuan, the previous two cases have proved that this guy in front of him is not as unlearned and unskilled as others think.
Li Xuan didn't answer, he glanced around, and then followed the instructions of the red silk thread and walked to a position three feet away from him and squatted down. Then carefully, the mud and dust below are removed little by little.
Li Xuan guessed that the thickness of those red silk threads probably represented the size of the thunder meteorite fragments. And what he chose was the nearest red silk thread in the distance of ten zhang around.
The thread did not penetrate deep into the earth, but only fell on the surface of the ground, so he quickly reaped the harvest, but in a moment, he held a touch of dirt in the palm of his hand.
"I found this thing. Li Xuan stood up and held the things in his palm in front of Jiang Hanyun: "There are still a lot of things in this valley, which should never appear here." ”
Jiang Hanyun's eyes were blank, she only saw a gray-red clod.
"What is this?" Ma Chenggong looked at Li Xuan in confusion: "Li Xuan, you just let us see a piece of soil?"
But on their side, Le Qianqian's face had changed slightly, and a look of ecstasy appeared in her eyes: "This is a fragment of a thunder meteorite!"
At this time, Jiang Hanyun noticed a little black sand mixed in the soil. It's only the size of a grain of sand, and if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to spot it at all.
"Thunder meteorite?" Jiang Hanyun rubbed the three-tailed spirit fox in his arms and fell into a deep groan: "I seem to have heard of it?"
"This thing is masculine and strong, and it is a strange thing to ward off demons and suppress evil spirits. About 700 years ago, a meteorite fell from the starry sky and was hit by thunder when it fell to Shudi, so it was called a thunder meteorite. At that time, it was only the size of a bucket, and it was divided by the seventeen forces in Shu at that time. Therefore, there are only seventeen pieces in the world, and the whereabouts of each of them are recorded by our six Dao Divisions. ”
Le Qianqian's expression was excited: "This thing should be related to the altar, which can save me at least many days of time in deducing the structure of the magic circle, let alone Deputy Heavenly Master Zhang." It's a pity that I don't know the size of this thunder meteorite, otherwise it could have been faster. Generally speaking, something like a thunder meteorite will only be used as the cornerstone of the circle, or even the core. ”
