There is sunshine today, but the factory area is like another world, shrouded in a thick layer of black air, eerie and quiet.
The surrounding residents had already evacuated, and when we walked in we could only hear the footsteps and breathing of the eight of us.
Jiangzhou was originally a fiery city, but it seemed like it had been lost to time, with a sense of desolation and decadence everywhere.
Occasionally, paper money can be seen floating on the ground, which must have been left behind by residents attending funerals before they evacuated the factory.
It was not yet four o'clock in the afternoon, but the lingering power of the autumn tiger was still there, but I could clearly feel that the temperature suddenly dropped by ten degrees, and goosebumps instantly appeared on my exposed arms.
None of us spoke and walked silently towards the third and fourth districts.
The further you go inside, the more gloomy and deathly aura becomes. This feeling is very familiar.
I once felt the same atmosphere in Shouning Village and the villa where I was under house arrest in Qiyue.
The death atmosphere in Shouning Village is related to Zhu Yan, and the villa where Qi Yue placed me under house arrest is related to Qi Yue, and the two of them have been in cahoots with each other for a long time. It can be seen that this place has something to do with them.
A large number of residents died inexplicably and their souls disappeared. In comparison, the situation in this place is very similar to that of Shouning Village.
I suddenly thought, could there be an altar here? Is it another evil formation set up by Zhu Yan in an attempt to restore himself?
If explained this way, the incident at the noodle shop would make sense.
Those people who open noodle restaurants in steel plants are not interested in money, but the lives and souls of the residents in the factory area.
Thinking of this, I pulled Lu Xiaohong and whispered to him what happened in Shouning Village. I also told him that I suspected that this place should also have an arrangement similar to an altar.
After Lu Xiaohong heard what I said, he also frowned and nodded and said: "We have also made such speculations, but so far, we have not found anything."
Shi Xian, who was closest to us, looked back at me, then at Lu Xiaohong and asked: "What's wrong, Lao Lu, have you discovered anything?"
"Hu Ling also thinks that this place has been set up by an evil formation, and there should be a place similar to an altar." Lu Xiaohong told him bluntly.
"Mr. Hu, do you think so too?" Shi Xian turned to look at me and used the honorific title.
I nodded and said, "I have been to a place once. The situation is similar to here. They set up a blood soul sacrifice in a village and set up an altar. The altar is the center of the formation. If you can find the altar, you can find the missing person."
's soul."
"Blood Soul Sacrifice?" Shi Xian read these three words, looked at me with some confusion and said, "This is the first time I have heard of this evil formation. Can you tell us more about it?"
"Oh, what blood soul sacrifice? It just seems to be something made up to impress people. A charlatan is a charlatan, and he is pretending to be a ghost in front of the people of Tianshi Mansion!" Before I could say anything, Lian Ruowei sneered.
I glanced at Lian Ruowei, pursed my lips, and said nothing.
"Ruowei, don't be rude to Mr. Hu!" Shi Xian glared at Lian Ruowei and scolded him sternly.
She turned to look at me and smiled helplessly and said, "Mr. Hu, don't argue with Ruowei. She is the only female heavenly master in Jiangzhou who is spoiled by everyone!"
I smiled and said I didn't take it to heart.
"Shitou, you want to be fooled by this charlatan's nonsense, but I don't want to!" Lian Ruowei's face turned red with anger, she stamped her feet, turned around and ran towards the fourth district alone.
"Ruowei!" Shi Xian shouted at her back: "Don't run around, we haven't even figured out the details of this place!"
Even Ruowei didn't know whether Nuji didn't hear it or it was intentional. Without even pausing, she turned the corner of a house and disappeared.
"Ge Zi, A Yin, hurry up and call Ruowei back, don't let anything happen!" Shi Xian turned around and said to Yu Ge and Wang Yin.
Yu Ge and Wang Yin looked at each other and chased in the direction where Lian Ruowei disappeared.
"Mr. Hu is laughing." Shi Xian smiled at me awkwardly, "Mr. Hu, please tell us about the evil formation of the Blood Soul Sacrifice first!"
Lin Yan and Yang Ti also gathered around with curious expressions on their faces.
I nodded and said, "The Blood Soul Sacrifice can resurrect the dead gods or demons by setting up the formation with the five elements in completely opposite directions, and then starting the formation with nine hundred and ninety-nine ghosts and six people and one god."
When Shi Xian heard what I said, his eyes widened and he said: "There is such a formation, and you mean that the things here are related to demons or gods? But, according to the clues we found, Lao Lu should be with you
I said it has something to do with Qi's trade."
"I have known Qi Yue for many years, and we had a fight the night before yesterday. There was a ghost fairy who was cultivated from an ancient monster beside him. The blood soul sacrifice I once encountered was caused by that ghost fairy!
I'm not sure whether what's being arranged here is a blood soul sacrifice, but it seems to be closely related to the ghost fairy." I said.
Shi Xian nodded: "No wonder Xiao Zun agreed to Lao Lu to bring you with him. I didn't expect that Mr. Hu has experienced more things at a young age than all of us heavenly masters!"
As he spoke, he thought for a while and then said: "If the other party is a ghost fairy, this matter may be a bit difficult to handle. The resident Celestial Master in Jiangzhou is only seven of us. It seems that we have to wait until Xiao Zun comes back tomorrow to deploy more.
Let’s talk about it with more manpower.”
Hearing what Shi Xian said, the corner of my mouth twitched, and I looked at him with some confusion and said, "When I fought Qi Yue the night before last, I already killed that ghost fairy!"
"Huh?" Shi Xian looked at me in disbelief, then turned to look at Lu Xiaohong.
Lu Xiaohong didn't say anything, but looked at me with a clear face, a light smile on his face, and gentle eyes.
"Oh, Mr. Hu, I didn't expect that your cultivation level has been so high at such a young age. I really admire you. If you don't join our Tianshi Mansion, it is really a loss for our Tianshi Mansion. Tomorrow I will talk to Xiao Zun
I suggest you join us!" Shi Xian got the answer from Lu Xiaohong's face and said sincerely with his eyes shining.
"Just call me Hu Ling, and I will follow everyone in calling you Shitou!" I smiled at Shi Xian.
Lin Yan and Yang Ti also looked at me with admiration.
Yang Ti grabbed my arm and said: "Hu Ling, you probably don't like Lao Lu's pimple. Do you want to consider me? Look at me..."
I was instantly shocked by his actions, and I was so embarrassed that I didn’t know what to do.
Lu Xiaohong strode over, took Yang Ti's hand off my arm, looked at me and asked, "Hu Ling, we must find the altar first. Do you have any ideas?"
Shi Xian also looked at me and nodded, "Before you and Lao Lu came back, we had already searched in the third and fourth districts. In addition to residential buildings and some vegetable fields, we didn't find the kind of altar you mentioned. Hu
Ling, if there really is an altar, where do you think it should be?"
I lowered my head and thought for a while, then looked up at him and said, "Zhu Yan is extremely cunning. If there is an altar, it should be in a place we least imagine, or even the most impossible place."
As I said that, I subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaohong.
"Noodle shop!" Lu Xiaohong and I said at the same time as our eyes met. This chapter has been completed!
