Fang Yu's pupils glowed red, and the white runes in his pupils lit up and started to rotate slowly.
In the field of vision, the sand temple in front has been dissolved into the power of countless laws.
But at this time, Fang Yu didn't care about the various laws that existed around the Sand Temple.
His only goal is to find Linger.
Start from the first level.
Fang Yu zoomed in, directly penetrated the thick wall, and penetrated into every corner.
The first floor is a traditional lobby where you can see many statues and murals.
In addition, hundreds of people wearing green robes, similar to the guards seen at the gate, were lined up in the lobby.
They stood there, motionless and expressionless.
Just as Fang Yu had thought before, although these people were alive, they had lost their sense of autonomy and were being manipulated, becoming like puppets.
But even though there were many strange things, Fang Yu did not study them carefully.
Without seeing Ling'er, he directly raised his vision to the second level.
On the second floor, no one was seen, but there were also many statues and murals.
The third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...
On the fifth floor, Fang Yu saw many strange things, but there was no sign of Ling'er.
The sixth floor is much smaller than the floors below and looks like a private room.
Still haven't seen Ling'er.
However, Fang Yu saw the goddess Qin Yao whom he had just met.
Goddess Qin Yao stands in front of a statue.
This statue also looks humanoid in appearance.
But its head was covered with a black cloth.
"The face of the statue is covered? Does it need to be so mysterious?" Fang Yu frowned slightly, zoomed in again, and went straight through the layer of black cloth.
Then, he froze.
The head of this statue has... nothing.
It seems to be a semi-finished product. Only the shape of the head has been sculpted, but its face has not yet been sculpted.
Perhaps it was for this reason that it was covered with black cloth.
Fang Yu pulled his vision back and saw the figure of the goddess Qin Yao standing in front of the sculpture.
At this time, Goddess Qin Yao lowered her head and remained motionless.
This still state looks extremely weird.
Just like those puppet-like guards on the first floor...
puppet!?
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.
Is this goddess Qin Yao also a puppet being manipulated!?
But when I was talking to her just now, I didn't feel this way!
With Fang Yu's sensing power, it would be impossible for Goddess Qin Yao to escape his eyes even if there was anything strange about her.
"Switching between autonomous consciousness and manipulated consciousness? Or..." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and the white runes on his pupils rotated rapidly.
Soon, the entire body of Goddess Qin Yao was analyzed in his field of vision.
"There is nothing strange about her body...she is indeed a living person." Fang Yu touched his chin and thought, "But the soul has disappeared...or, in other words, shrunk. This should be caused by the magic she practiced."
Fang Yu raised his eyes again and looked at the statue in front of the goddess Qin Yao.
Inside the head of this statue, there is a glowing bright spot the size of a fist.
"What is this?"
Fang Yu stared at this light spot and studied it for a while, but found no results.
So, he shifted his gaze, narrowed his vision, and scanned the entire Sand Temple again.
Still haven't found Ling'er.
"Where are you hiding?" Fang Yu frowned and closed his eye of insight.
According to the surveillance video, it is basically certain that Ling'er was taken away by people from the Sand Temple.
But she was not in the Sand Temple.
Could it be that...Ling'er has been killed?
But this is unlikely.
If the people of the Sand Temple wanted Ling'er's life, they didn't need to ask the old man to take Ling'er to Xidu. They could just kill him directly when they saw him on the street.
Since Ling'er was brought to the Western Capital and handed over in a covert manner... then Ling'er must be of some use to them.
Thinking from this aspect, Ling'er's personal safety will not be a problem for the time being.
But this is just thinking on the bright side.
No matter what, if Ling'er falls into the opponent's hands, any situation may happen.
"Sacrifice ceremony..."
At this time, Fang Yu remembered what Goddess Qin Yao said.
Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, Shashen Temple will hold a sacrificial ceremony.
According to her, this should be a very important event, and many people will be present.
Combining this incident with Ling'er's sudden disappearance...is there any connection?
Fang Yu's intuition told him that there was a high probability that there was a connection between the two things.
Ling'er...maybe appear in tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony.
"Mr. Fang, what should we do now?" Bai Ran asked.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and said, "That's it, go back first and come tomorrow to see the so-called sacrificial ceremony."
He decided that if Ling'er was still not seen at tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony, he would take the most direct approach and tear down the Sand Temple.
Although doing so is extremely risky for Ling'er, whose situation is unknown, there is no other way.
…
Fang Yu and Bai Ran meditated directly at the bottom of the hill to kill time.
The moonlight dimmed, then became brighter...and then the moon disappeared and the sun rose.
The morning sun shone on the ground, and Fang Yu and Bai Ran also broke away from their meditation state and stood up.
It was already nine o'clock in the morning.
When we reached the top of the slope, we could see a large group of people gathered in front of the gate of Shashen Temple.
The sacrificial ceremony only officially started in an hour, but this group of people looked excited.
"Let's go, let's join in the fun." Fang Yu said.
Soon, Fang Yu and Bai Ran came to the back of the crowd.
Several guards blocked the steps, apparently not letting anyone go up in advance.
"In less than an hour, we can go in!"
"Yes! I was so excited that I was shaking a little."
"Who isn't? It's a sacrificial ceremony held every three years! We'll see the will of the gods later... Even a person must be excited!"
In front of Fang Yu, several people were talking in low voices.
After thinking for a while, Fang Yu stretched out his hand, patted the middle-aged man in front of him on the shoulder, and asked, "Brother, I have a question."
"What's going on?!"
The middle-aged man turned around impatiently, and when he saw Fang Yu's face, his expression immediately changed.
At this time, Fang Yu still looked like Xie Tianhe.
"Thank you, boss!" The middle-aged man's face instantly turned pale, as if he was extremely frightened.
Fang Yu immediately realized that the middle-aged man in front of him knew Xie Tianhe.
"Thank you, boss..." When many people around saw Xie Tianhe, their expressions changed and they all said hello.
It seems that Xie Tianhe is quite respectable in Xidu.
"Isn't everyone here?" Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Boss Xie... we don't have any tokens... but you do!" said a bald man standing next to him, "Boss Xie, how can you stand here and wait with mortals like us? Hurry up.
go in!"
"Oh? So you can enter in advance if you have a token?"
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and walked forward with Bai Ran.
After showing the blood jade statue in front of the guard, the guard let him go.
So, Fang Yu and Bai Ran walked up the stairs again.
After going up the stairs, follow the path, walk through several thresholds, and arrive at the lobby on the first floor of Shashen Temple.
Fang Yu scanned this place yesterday with his eyes of insight.
At this time, there were many people sitting on the chairs on both sides of the lobby.
