Chapter 92: Tian Yuan Dharma Assembly (IX)
Seeing that Shan Gui couldn't give any constructive answers, Lu Ren had to bite the bullet and comfort Qi Yu: "Don't be too sad. If you can't pray to the gods, just study hard and find another job in the future. It's not too late for you to start preparing for the college entrance examination now."
If Qi Yu originally just looked hopeless, then when Lu Ren said the four words "prepare for the college entrance examination", Qi Yu's expression immediately turned into one of bereaved grief.
It seems that Qi Yu's results are not very ideal.
In short, Lu Ren persuaded Qi Yu for a long time, but Qi Yu seemed to be getting more and more sad.
Seeing this, Qilin cub invited the little brother he met for the first time to go to the mountain to find cicada shells to change his mood: "Don't be unhappy, Ah Ren is going to take me to the back mountain to play, little brother, you can come too! It will be very fun!"
As he spoke, Qilin cub walked up to Qi Yu, took his hand, and pulled him towards the back door.
I don’t know if Qi Yu didn’t want to go back and face the group of bullies, or if he was conquered by the innocence and cuteness of the Qilin cub. In short, he didn’t have any objection to the Qilin cub’s sudden proposal, but obediently followed the Qilin cub towards the back door.
So, everyone walked on the mountain path. The deep mountain startled birds, and occasionally a bird would flutter and fly up into the sky. Apart from this, the journey was relatively peaceful.
On the way, several people introduced themselves to Qi Yu, who had lost his memory. This was their second formal acquaintance.
After walking for a while, the signs of human activities gradually began to decrease. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lu Ren did not go deeper. Instead, he asked Qilin cub to take out his small shovel and search on the spot. Everyone also began to help look for cicada shells in this area.
Everyone searched very carefully under dead leaves and beside tree roots. However, as a child, Qilin cub had no patience and often changed places after digging twice. He would also run to a distant place to dig without caring about others. Lu Ren reminded him several times.
"Be careful not to get lost."
Not long after, Qi Yu was lucky enough to find the first cicada shell of the day on the tree trunk. He picked it up with two fingers and shouted happily: "I found it! I didn't expect it to be on the tree trunk!"
However, the Qilin cub, who was originally the most enthusiastic, did not arrive in time. This made Lu Ren wonder if he had finally lost his way as expected. Panicked, Lu Ren quickly organized everyone to go look for him.
However, they found the Qilin cub without much effort. In fact, the Qilin cub did not go far away. When Lu Ren found him, he was curiously studying what he had just discovered.
The Qilin cub discovered a very small and simple altar.
It is not accurate to call it an altar. In fact, someone just drew a talisman on the ground with chalk and lit two white candles and three incense sticks facing the talisman. It looks like a very primitive and simple sacrificial method.
The Qilin cub was standing in front of the altar at this moment, frowning seriously, as if he was thinking about something seriously.
Lu Ren found him very funny because he looked like a brat. His anger because he couldn't find him also subsided. He stepped forward and asked, "What is this?"
The Qilin cub was still staring at the talisman and said, "This thing... I don't know why it gives me a bad feeling."
Such an answer made Lu Ren instantly alert.
He originally thought that since this was the territory of Xuanmen, it was normal to see talismans everywhere. But now Qilin cub said that the talisman made him feel uncomfortable, and the person who drew the talisman chose such a remote place to perform the sacrifice, so it might not be a good thing.
Qi Yu and Shan Gui, who followed Lu Ren, also saw the talisman at this time.
Qi Yu obviously recognized the spell, and he exclaimed, "Isn't this the Five Yin Mysterious Netherworld Spell?"
"Five Yin Mysterious Curse?"
Qi Yu explained to Lu Ren, "It is a magic that can connect yin and yang and cut off life and death. This magic is extremely powerful. Legend has it that it can allow the person who casts the spell to transcend life and death, and even become an immortal. But as a price, every time the Five Yin Mysterious Nether Curse appears in the world, it will take a large number of lives. Therefore, the Xuanmen has long stipulated that any Xuan Master cannot practice this kind of harmful magic. The Five Yin Mysterious Nether Curse has long been regarded as a forbidden spell. Who is so bold as to set up an altar here? No, I have to go and explain this to everyone!"
As Qi Yu said this, he was about to run back to the clan family to report the matter, but just as he raised his leg, he heard Lu Ren's voice.
Lu Ren asked helplessly, "Then what should we do with this spell?"
Then the mountain ghost's reply came immediately. She seemed to be answering Lu Ren. She only said: "It doesn't look like a good thing. Destroy it."
As he spoke, the mountain ghost took a step forward and stretched his left hand into the range of the altar.
In an instant, lightning flashed everywhere.
Qi Yu didn't expect that these people would be so brave and attack him directly in the time it took him to turn around. So Qi Yu turned back and stopped them, saying, "Danger! This talisman carries the energy of the five yins. If an ordinary person touches it, he will surely die!"
But at this time, the lightning had already gathered at the mountain ghost's fingertips.
Qi Yu was so angry when he saw this, and he shouted in an anxious tone: "It's no use! Look at the lightning, it's the Yin Qi of the Five Yin Formation that is fighting with her Yang Qi. The only thing we can do now is to cut off her hand quickly to prevent the Yin Qi from entering her body, otherwise there is no way to save her."
However, before Qi Yu finished his words, he saw the lightning suddenly become brighter. Then, the talisman that was originally drawn on the ground with chalk peeled off by itself like a sticker torn from the window, and then floated up and fell into the palm of the mountain ghost's hand like a flying butterfly.
Then the mountain ghost squeezed the talisman hard, and it instantly turned into powder and scattered in the wind.
During this process, Qi Yu didn't even have time to retract his yelling lips.
Then, following the mountain ghost's movements, Qi Yu's mouth began to open wider and wider. Finally, as he watched the Five Yin Curse turn into powder in the mountain ghost's hands , Qi Yu's expression was frozen into a world-famous painting - "The Scream".
Qi Yu opened his mouth and tried several times before he finally found his voice: "You...you, you just tore it off like that?"
The mountain ghost did not forget that she was playing the role of an ordinary person at the moment, so she dutifully grabbed her right wrist with her left hand and said emotionlessly: "Ah, my palm hurts."
Qi Yu looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief: "Does it just hurt a little?" Generally speaking, the entire hand would lose its vitality in an instant, and then rot and fall off.
Then he heard Lu Ren whispering, "Ali, you used the wrong hand."
So the girl calmly let go of her hand, and grabbed her left wrist with her right hand, and continued to say emotionlessly: "Ah, my palm hurts."
Qi Yu: “…” Actually, you don’t feel any pain at all, right? You are just trying to fool me.
On this day, a young boy felt that the world was collapsing before his eyes.
Seeing Qi Yu standing there in a daze due to the shock to his worldview, in order to prevent him from doubting the identity of the mountain ghost, Lu Ren tactfully chose to change the subject: "So now, this so-called Five Yin Mysterious Nether Curse should have been removed, right?"
Qi Yu came back to his senses and realized that now was not the time to be in a daze. He shook his head and said, "Not really. If this is really the Five Yin Mysterious Nether Mantra, then these spells should be engraved on the five most yin positions. Now we have only destroyed the altar , which at most has only weakened the power of the spell."
Then, Qi Yu analyzed the current situation and said to everyone: "The current situation is unclear, but it is obvious that someone with bad intentions has sneaked in, and you are powerless to deal with them--" When saying this, Qi Yu looked at Shan Gui, and then his voice became weaker and weaker.
"Anyway!" Qi Yu raised his voice again, as if to cheer himself up, "The Zong family is no longer safe. We will split into two groups. You go back to your rooms and wait. As a large family of Xuanmen, each room of the Zong family has a barrier to resist monsters. Ordinary evil creatures cannot enter. I will go to the Xuanmen people to explain the situation and make plans early."
Having said that, Qi Yu headed decisively in the direction he came from.
"Eh..." Before Lu Ren could ask him to stay, Qi Yu's back could no longer be seen.
Lu Ren could only sigh, "It's great to be young. I should be able to achieve excellent results in the 1,000-meter physical education test in the college entrance examination."
Then Lu Ren turned around and looked at the mountain ghost and the Qilin cub: "Then let's go back too?"
The mountain ghost nodded, and then asked: "Don't we need to destroy the remaining four together? It's quite easy for me."
Lu Ren hesitated: "It's not safe..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately remembered the two bugs that were easily locked in the mineral water bottle, and the Five Yin Mysterious Curse that was torn off by the mountain ghost like a sticker. Perhaps, there is no place in the entire clan that is safer than the mountain ghost.
So Lu Ren changed his words and said, "We don't know where the talisman is. If it gets lost, it will cause trouble to others at this critical moment."
After hearing this, the Qilin cub closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then suddenly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand, pointed in four directions at random, and said, "There, there, there, and there."
Hearing this, Lu Ren looked at the Qilin cub in surprise: "How did you know?"
The mountain ghost explained, "His true form is the auspicious beast Qilin, which is very sensitive to evil things, so it is not surprising that he can sense the Five Yin Curse."
After that, the mountain ghost looked at Lu Ren and asked, "Ah Ren, do we want to help eliminate the Five Yin Curse?"
Lu Ren hesitated for a moment, but he remembered what Qi Yu said before he left, "Every time the Five Yin Mysterious Nether Curse appears in the world, it will take away a large number of lives." The Foreign Household Registration Investigation Bureau is, after all, a relevant department. As a member of it, even if he is just a cleaner, he should have a sense of responsibility and should not just sit back and watch ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Lu Ren decided to call Si Yuan first.
Surprisingly, perhaps because the Five Yin Mantra was half destroyed, or perhaps because the Five Yin Mantra had not actually had time to be activated, the call was actually able to go through.
After the call was connected, the first thing that came was not Si Yuan's voice, but the sound of weapons clashing. Lu Ren said "Hello" uncertainly, and then heard a sound of breaking wind from the other end of the phone.
Then Lu Ren heard Ying Long's voice on the other end of the phone. He was talking to Si Yuan, complaining: "Even if you are busy fighting, don't throw the phone to me. I have a lot of minions to deal with here! Huh--" Ying Long on the other end of the phone suddenly shouted loudly, and his breathing became a little faster. It seemed that he had just dodged the enemy's fatal blow.
Then I heard him say to the other end of the phone in a bad mood: "Hello!"
Lu Ren was a little embarrassed. He said politely to the person on the other end of the phone: "Hello, hello, I'm Lu Ren."
Yinglong had just dodged an attack from the enemy and took the time to say to the phone: "Get to the point."
Lu Ren was still feeling embarrassed for suddenly bothering someone and wanted to say a few words, but he also heard that Ying Long must be very busy at the moment, so he quickly said, "I'm at the Zong family. It seems that someone here is practicing the Five Yin Mysterious Nether Formation. Can you send someone to take a look?"
Ying Long felt a bit difficult. While resisting the attack of thousands of troops, he replied to Lu Ren: "The southern earth dragon has turned over. Most of the people in the two combat teams have come out and can't come. Let me see if there are any idle people in the investigation bureau who can come. You wait--"
After saying that, Yinglong hung up the phone without hesitation, and then there was only a busy tone on the other end of the phone.
