Chapter 85 The Truth
Like Wang Wenjie, Liao Huaixian was a disciple of the Langmei School at that time.
Although Liao Huaixian was older than Wang Wenjie, they both started practicing at about the same time. With similar personalities, they soon became best friends and the most tacit partners. They often went out together to perform exorcisms .
But later, Wang Wenjie was eager for revenge and slaughtered more than ten people from the Zheng family in Linchuan in one night, which angered the entire top level of the martial arts sect. He was eventually forced to commit suicide in Meiling.
Since then, the Langmei Sect has been getting worse and worse, and finally it was difficult to continue, the sect declined, and the incense was cut off. Liao Huaixian was disheartened and gave up the business of being a mage, and lived an ordinary life in a small town in the suburbs of Jiangning City.
Until later, he was invited out by Huang Shaotang and transferred to the ninth department.
He and Wang Wenjie are like brothers. They have been together to fight evil spirits and exorcise monsters for many years, and have been through life and death together. It can be said that they are extremely familiar with each other.
So as long as he heard Wang Wenjie say one sentence, even if his voice was different, just based on the tone of the sentence, he could conclude that this person must be his good brother.
But Wang Wenjie's appearance was definitely not like this. That guy was tall and thin, half a head taller than him. It was impossible for him to be short and .
"Why did you become like this?" Seeing that Pei Ji did not answer, Liao Huaixian asked again.
"Haha." Pei Ji finally spoke up and laughed, "Then what else should it be like? Is it like this?"
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched his arms above his head, just like stretching in the morning, and immediately there was a crackling sound, like firecrackers exploding.
At the same time, everyone saw an extremely strange scene. With the crackling sound, Pei Ji's arms, legs, chest, and neck were slowly stretched.
It's like a blooming sesame seed, each section taller than the last.
In just a moment, the fat man disappeared, and a tall and thin middle-aged man appeared in his place. He had a thin face and sunken eyes, and he could vaguely see some of Pei Ji's original appearance.
But the body shape has completely changed.
Pei Ji used to be short and fat, like a solid meatball, but now he is tall and thin, and the clothes he was wearing seem to have suddenly shrunk a lot.
Wang Quan, Wu Mian and other young people were stunned. As disciples of Tianshi Mansion, they were knowledgeable and of course knew that there was a bone shrinking technique in magic.
However, the bone shrinking technique only utilizes the gaps between bones to relocate the bones around the body, making the body temporarily smaller than before. It is usually used as an emergency technique to pass through some narrow obstacles.
But no matter how powerful the bone shrinking technique is, it has its limits. How can a tall and thin person be shrunk directly into a fat person, and then directly pulled back from a fat person into a thin person?
What's more, Pei Ji has been short and fat ever since he came to Jiangning City. This has been more than ten or twenty years. Is there any bone-shrinking technique that can shrink a person's bones for twenty years?
It's unheard of!
"It turns out that there are such tricks in the Yin-Yang ghost magic." Huang Shaotang said coldly.
A group of young people were shocked when they heard this, thinking that no wonder everyone said this was a sorcery, it was indeed extremely weird.
But Wang Wenjie ignored him and his cold eyes moved around among the people.
"So you really have learned how to suppress all the immortals." Liao Huaixian suddenly said, his face pale, his eyes filled with emotion or sadness that could not be told.
"Of course." Wang Wenjie grinned.
Ever since he turned back into his tall and thin appearance, his face became unusually eerie, and even when he smiled it made people feel creepy.
When Liao Huaixian mentioned "Zhen Wanxian" again, everyone on their side was confused. Even Bai Zhijing, Huang Shaotang and Lantian, three experienced veterans, did not understand what "Zhen Wanxian" was, not to mention Wang Quan, Wu Mian and other young people.
"Tang Tang, what is Zhen Wanxian?" Although everyone was still occupying their positions in the Big Dipper Star Array, ready to fight at any time, the position Li Neng stepped into happened to be very close to Tang Tang who was commanding the array, so he immediately asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Tang Tang said.
The conversation between the two was also heard by others. Everyone originally guessed that the "Turning Ten Thousand Immortals" was probably referring to the strange formation they were in, but now seeing that Tang Tang, a master of formations, didn't know, they couldn't help but be even more puzzled.
Among all the people present at this time, the only ones who really knew what Zhen Wanxian was were Liao Huaixian and Wang Wenjie.
Because this "Suppressing Ten Thousand Immortals" was the strange formation recorded on a formation diagram that they discovered together in an ancient tomb that year.
This formation diagram was carved in one of the stone chambers of the ancient tomb. At that time, Wang Wenjie, like Liao Huaixian, was a person who was obsessed with numerology and formations. When they saw this formation diagram, they were immediately ecstatic.
The two of them spent two days and two nights copying the battle formation diagrams engraved on the stone chamber one by one.
According to the diagram of the formation, this strange formation is called "Suppressing Ten Thousand Immortals". Once the formation is deployed, hundreds of ghosts will haunt the place and suppress all things, so it is also called "Feast of a Hundred Ghosts".
The two of them carefully studied the text on the formation diagram and speculated that this formation should be an ancient formation from the Burial Gate.
As far as the two knew, the Zang Sect was one of the sects with the longest history among the many sects of the art. It was much older than the current giants such as the Tianshi Mansion and Maoshan Zhengdao.
As long as burial methods have been invented in the world, burial doors have also been invented.
Over the past thousands of years, there have been numerous burial methods, tomb layouts, and feng shui divination methods throughout the dynasties, and countless schools have developed, but in the final analysis, they all originated from the burial tradition.
And nowadays, most of the mysterious tombs that have been talked about in the art world for a long time were created by the Burial Sect.
Places like these naturally hide incredible treasures, but even the masters of magic with extraordinary abilities dare not go there easily.
Because those who have not experienced it personally have no idea how terrifying the tomb layout created by the burial door is.
After thousands of years of ups and downs, countless sects have risen and fallen, and countless large sects with a long history have long since ceased to exist. Only the Zang Sect has gone through many ups and downs and vicissitudes. Countless formations and secret techniques have been lost, and it is even said that even its ancestral land was once destroyed, but it has finally survived.
However, this sect is extremely mysterious and low-key, and they rarely take the initiative to participate in the affairs of the sect. Therefore, even among insiders, not many people know about them.
Among the current martial arts schools, the Zang Sect is not listed as one of the top few, but that is only because they are unwilling to do so, not because they are not qualified.
So when the two of them learned the origin of this formation diagram, they were both excited and nervous.
What’s exciting is that since this formation diagram comes from the ancient Burial Gate Formation, the power of this formation can be imagined, it is absolutely unimaginable.
What makes people nervous is that this formation must be a secret of the Zang Sect. An ancient formation like this might no longer be passed down even in the current Zang Sect. If this news leaks out and is known by the Zang Sect, they will be in great trouble.
So after the two of them recorded the formation diagram, at the suggestion of Wang Wenjie, they destroyed the stone chamber engraved with the formation diagram to get rid of all traces.
After coming out of the tomb, the two immediately ran to the bustling downtown area and rented a house, where they stayed day and night to study the formation.
However, this formation was too profound and difficult to comprehend. Given their current level of numerology, it was extremely difficult for them to understand it.
However, the two of them were so obsessed with the formation that they never got tired of it. Except for eating, they hid in that house almost day and night to study the formation diagram.
Especially Wang Wenjie, he has reached a point of madness.
Liao Huaixian sensed something was wrong, and fearing that his good brother was too anxious and might hurt himself, he advised him to relax and take it slow.
After studying for a while, he had figured out some tricks. This formation was too huge and profound. With their level of numerology, it might take several years to fully understand it.
Moreover, to set up this formation according to the diagram would require enormous amounts of manpower and material resources, so we simply couldn't rush it.
But Wang Wenjie simply refused to listen to the advice. Not only did he work harder, but he also often muttered to himself: "I can't wait, I can't wait..."
Seeing him like this, Liao Huaixian became more and more worried, but when he asked him, he said nothing.
Then one day, when Liao Huaixian went out to buy food, he came back and found that Wang Wenjie was missing, and the formation diagram recorded from the ancient tomb and the insights they had researched for many days were also missing.
Liao Huaixian searched for Wang Wenjie for many days, but there was no news.
It was not until more than a year later that news suddenly came that the Zheng family in Linchuan was massacred overnight. And according to rumors, the one who did this was Wang Wenjie, who had been missing for more than a year.
Liao Huaixian was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't believe that Wang Wenjie would do such a cruel thing.
The Shu Sect has clearly stipulated that using magic to kill ordinary people is absolutely not allowed, regardless of the reason. Although this rule is a bit too arbitrary, it is also to prevent magicians from causing trouble.
You have to know that if a wizard really loses his mind and attacks civilians, the disaster that will be caused may not be comparable to that of ordinary people.
In Liao Huaixian's impression, although Wang Wenjie is not a top master of magic, he is definitely an excellent wizard who is dedicated and responsible. In order to exorcise evil spirits, he is not afraid of life and death.
How could a man like him be so cruel to innocent civilians?
But soon news came that Wang Wenjie had a deep hatred with the two mages of the Zheng family.
When Wang Wenjie was still young, his parents died because of two magicians from the Zheng family. In fact, this was originally an accident, but the two magicians made a sudden decision and chose to conceal the incident.
But Wang Wenjie kept the appearances of these two enemies firmly in his mind.
Afterwards, Wang Wenjie somehow entered the Langmei School to study martial arts, and became good friends with Liao Huaixian.
