Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 917 - 917
The scene in front of him was so strange that Miao Wentang was extremely shocked. She suddenly recalled the paper charm that Tang Xiu had placed on her outside the courtyard wall. He picked up the item and observed for a while only to find some unusual symbols on it; he could even sense faint fluctuations of spiritual power on it.
“Don't say ... This Magical Spell? An item that could make the person wearing it invisible to others?”
Miao Wentang himself knew that Tang Xiu also excelled in making various charms. It made his heartbeat rise immediately. He gritted his teeth and walked towards Tang Xiu and the two big men of the Lian Family. He continued walking to Tang Xiu's side while his eyes were fixed on the two burly men, yet they were still unaware of their presence.
Coughing,
One of the burly men coughed twice. He suddenly glanced a few times before raising his hand to scratch the back of his head. With a puzzled expression, he muttered, “How can I feel so scared and scared? Looks like I'm being glimpsed by a poisonous venomous snake or something.”
His colleague also frowned and was astonished, “You also have such feelings? What an unpleasant sign. I thought I was the only one who fell into an illusion. I also felt something was staring at me, making me creep.”
Miao Wentang's face changed slightly. He immediately changed his vision of the two people and turned to Tang Xiu with eyes full of admiration.
It must be because of the Occult Spell! Told in the legend!
If he had this Occult Spell, he would definitely have a deadly weapon to kill! In such a situation where no one, not even the Gods and ghosts, were unable to sense his presence, he could decapitate his enemy for sure.
For a time, the two men from the Lian Family still continued to look around, but they were unable to find any abnormalities. They just shook their heads and then headed into the distance.
Tang Xiu himself stood still in his place at this moment. He then looked at Miao Wentang with a smile and asked, “So, how are you feeling?”
“At first I trembled in fear, but then felt relieved when I realized that they really could not see us,” Miao Wentang replied with a smile. “You are truly amazing, Brother Tang! If it's my memory, the charm you gave me outside the courtyard wall must be an Occult Spell, right?”
“Yes, I made some Occult Spells before for some special reason.” Tang Xiu nodded and explained, “I never thought that it would show its usefulness during the investigation this time. However, also the preventive measures used by the Lian Family were rather strict. If not for this Penetrating Spell of View, we could not have been so relaxed and easy to sneak into. ”
Miao Wentang turned bright and he asked excitedly, “How many Occult Spells do you have now, Brother Tang? Can you sell me some of them? ”
Tang Xiu's expression turned strange and he replied, “I don't have many of them there right now. Just a few of them.”
“Please mention the price. I will buy whatever you have,” Miao Wentang said straightforwardly.
“Only 3 yuan is enough. I will sell them each for 3 yuan,” Tang Xiu replied smiling after he thought for a moment.
Cough, cough …
Miao Wentang let out a hollow cough and waved as he spoke again, “I won't buy it, so I'll exchange it for some other items! I know you're looking for twelve recent jade zodiac carvings. I just caught one of them and am currently verifying. I'll send it to you once I'm sure about it. ”
“Real?” Tang Xiu was surprised.
“Real.” Miao Wentang nodded and said, “But the other party is very difficult to deal with, so I'm afraid it will take some time, however. Anyway, let's stop talking about it first. Since we have the Occult Spell, then we will continue to go inside to find out the situation of this place! We have to confirm what happened with Lians tonight. ”
Tang Xiu suppressed his excitement deep in his heart. He nodded and glanced at the depths of the interior of the Lian Family home. Then he said in a whisper, “Try not to make the sound as good as you can. Let's use hand signals when something happens; I have a hunch that the Lian family home is not as simple as it looks on the surface.”
“I get you.” Miao Wentang nodded firmly.
Most of the area in front of the Lian Family manor was covered with lush trees, along with flowers, plants, stones, and gazebos everywhere … but as Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang headed deeper inland and passed through the fountain box in the center of the castle, they suddenly felt a change of atmosphere.
The houses that were painted dark in front were all wooden and painted pitch black on the outside. Moreover, be it trees or other buildings in the surroundings, everything was painted black as well. Even the ground was coated in black asphalt. There was no other color other than black, even if they were observing closely.
“This place is too weird.” Miao Wentang leaned over to Tang Xiu, who was carefully walking north, as he said in a whisper.
Tang Xiu narrowed, as he could feel the surging evil energy. His body was also slightly shivering, driven by the urge to immediately run and destroy something that was somewhere deep within the Lian Family home. Such encouragement was like a feeling of hunger, as if something was pulling on him inside the house.
Suddenly, Miao Wentang grabbed his arm and whispered, “Wait, Big Brother Tang! Don't you think this place is too weird? Ever since we passed the fountain square, we have not heard anything, nor seen anything move here, not even a living person. No. .. not only that. There are not even living things like chickens, dogs, ants, or anything else. ”
“How about resigning first, Brother Tang?” Miao Wentang hesitantly said, “I'm starting to feel like something terrible is waiting for us up ahead. It makes me feel restless.”
Tang Xiu shook his head and was about to speak when his expression slightly changed. He instantly grabbed Miao Wentang's hand and their figures disappeared into a corner of the building in a moment. He clearly saw that a boy about 7 years old was walking from the north, smiling with a rope bouncing in his hand under the cover of a dim night. Tang Xiu looked up and saw that the rope was connected to a kite that flew tens of meters high.
“It's weird. Is my hearing impaired or something?”
Tang Xiu glanced at the boy who jumped up and jumped up and down. The boy's mouth seemed to be shouting something, yet he felt like Miao Wentang. He knew that the boy was clearly shouting, but no sound came from him. He also jumped up and down, but there was no sound of his footsteps either.
The surrounding area was as if in a deathly silence, as if something was wrong with their hearing.
After a while, Tang Xiu withdrew his gaze from the boy. He shook his head and said, “He's not human. He sort of apparition — Protoplasm Spiritual.”
“What is Spiritual Protoplasm?” miao Wentang asked with a puzzled face.
“It is a state of the soul, but it is also of different types,” Tang Xiu said. “Spiritual Protoplasm is a kind of creature with a special constitution. If it is attached to a human, it can be integrated into the human soul and replace it. The boy was probably possessed by the Spiritual Protoplasm, and he forcefully confiscated his body “I never expected Lians to have such a thing. It seems that this family is hiding everything well!”
Shortly after, the boy ran away from their sight and disappeared at the end of the pitch-black castle. After Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang walked out of the corner, they ignored the Spiritual Protoplasm boy and walked slowly towards the deeper part of the villa. A few minutes later, Tang Xiu stopped his steps at the crossroads leading to the palace.
“What's up?” Miao Wentang asked curiously. He had looked around and found no trace of any humans around him.
“There is an array here,” replied Tang Xiu. “The path in front of us is blocked and covered by an array. Unless we can break the array formation silently and make a hole in it, it will be difficult for us not to alarm the members of the Lian Family if we want to go deeper. ”
Miao Wentang looked excited and said, “I can't drill a hole through the array, I can only rely on you.”
He knew that Tang Xiu was experienced in arrays. Back when they were adventuring and challenging the dangers together, she had watched Tang Xiu arrange the arrangements, and she knew that Tang Xiu's array arranged then was extremely mighty.
Tang Xiu released his spiritual sense to investigate the fluctuating layers of energy in the air several times. He constantly unleashed the Primal Chaos Force and integrated it into the energy layer at the front.
A few minutes later, Tang Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and whispered, “Interesting. It's really interesting. Some people from the Lian Family had suddenly made the Great Underworld Array here. What do these people want to do, exactly? All the living beings within the Great Array of the Underworld would be enveloped in the Yin Qi of the Netherworld, gradually becoming living dead people. ”
“Hah?” Miao Wentang was confused and asked, “What do you mean?”
“There are things you don't understand yet, but I can tell you for sure.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “The people from the Lian Family who have stayed inside this array are no longer normal humans. No wonder I discovered that the corpses of those two Lian Family ancestors had a gloomy gleam after I killed them. I didn't pay much attention to him at the time. But now I think they have Netherworld power within their bodies. ”
Miao Wentang's expression suddenly changed and he asked in a whisper, “Could it be that they are cultivators with other types of cultivation systems? People like the Ghost cultivators I read about in ancient records?”
“Hmph,” murmured Tang Xiu coldly. “Phantom cultivators are living humans whose souls have been baptized with Netherworld powers after their deaths. They then practiced the planting system of the Ghost Realm. They were true Ghost cultivators. Those humans who practice cultivation techniques will not become humans nor ghost— only half humans and half ghosts. Even if one could have an extremely long lifespan and extremely great strength, that person would never have great achievements in the future. ”
Miao seemed to run away with that explanation; she understood yet could not catch it well. He kept asking, “So, what are we going to do next? Can you crack this arrangement?”
Tang Xiu smiled confidently. He took her hand and stepped forward quickly. After his footsteps crossed and changed direction several times, they quickly appeared within the Underworld Great Array and a different scene was presented before them.
“This ..”
Miao Wentang had always thought that he had a lot of knowledge; however, after seeing the scene inside the Netherworld Great Array, his eyes turned into plates and he could not help but gasp in cold air.
However, Tang Xiu's eyebrows shot up and he muttered, “There's an altar here? What did the Lian Family want to do by building so many altars?”
“Sister Tang, I've seen an altar somewhere in the Miao.” Region Miao Wentang whispered, “As far as I know, there are only a few types of altars in the entire Miao Region – I think is no more than three. But here, there are dozens.”
Tang Xiu quickly glanced and spoke again, “There are 49 altars here, with pools of blood in front of each one. Fucking bad guy! It must be human blood! How many people had been harmed by the Lian Family to collect so much blood? “
