The moment before his palm touched the land, Byron suddenly stopped.
"Have we met somewhere?"
Byron still maintained a calm smile and asked.
"Maybe, maybe it was in a dream."
Lu Tan answered easily.
"Ah, I saw you in my dream. Your sweet smile was so sweet."
He even sang a little bit.
Hearing Lu Tan's singing, Byron twitched the corner of his mouth.
He leaned close to Lu Tian's ear and whispered softly.
"I have heard the melody of this song."
Hearing this, Lu Tan also whispered to Byron.
"So, we are fellow villagers."
The next moment, Lu Tan's hand grabbed Byron's hand.
But even faster than that, Lu Tiao's hand swelled.
Like an over-inflated balloon, starting from his arms, Lu Jian's entire body began to squirm and twist, as if it had been inflated by something.
In an instant, Lu Tiao's belly bulged and burst, and his internal organs poured out, exploding like a blooming flower.
Byron immediately wanted to step back and stay away from Lu Tan, but that hand was like a ghost, reaching towards Byron and grabbing his arm.
"Got you."
A weird smile appeared on Lu Tan's swollen face. Even Byron found it scary when he saw it.
A stream of light bloomed on that hand, and as the light spread, Byron's neighbor became unable to move, and turned gray as if fading.
petrochemical.
It only takes one glance to understand that Byron, who became a silt monster, is now turning into a real stone.
Byron tried to struggle, but the petrification spread far faster than he imagined. In a moment, he had completely turned into a stone and a lifelike sculpture.
Lu Tan looked at Byron who had turned into a stone statue and felt that he looked familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he discovered that this was very similar to the situation in Jiangcheng Mountain.
Those Fang Geng's dependents turned into lifelike stone statues, and when Fang Geng was about to revive, they changed back to their original appearance and slaughtered humans.
Byron may have just been petrified now. If the influence of the spell is removed by some means, he can return to his original appearance.
"At least he can't move now."
Lu Tiao said something, and immediately his whole body melted.
In the past, Lu Tan might have had a narrow escape from death if he encountered this kind of situation, and there was nothing he could do without a round of grass growing.
But now, Lu Jian can quickly deal with such situations.
It's just a fatal injury, just melt the body and then recast it.
After just a few minutes, Lu Jian condensed into a human form again.
He knocked on Byron's forehead, his voice was dull.
"Solid."
He came to a conclusion.
"What to do now?"
Lu Tan turned back to look at Xia.
Shia's expression was a little complicated.
She didn't expect that after not seeing each other for so many days, Lu Jian would undergo some qualitative changes.
Even when she saw Lu Tiao melting and reorganizing just now, Shia felt that her sanity had almost dropped.
"Move to Stone's side?"
Siya thought for a moment, raised her hand, and lifted the heavy stone statue of Byron.
The two came to the mourning hall and saw the empty coffin and Stone holding an irregular-shaped stone in his hand.
Stone stared at the stone, a little distracted.
"Solved?"
Lu Jian asked.
"Right here."
Stone handed the stone to Lu Kan, and his eyes moved away from the stone reluctantly. It was not until he saw the stone statue of Byron being carried by Shia that Stone finally became more awake.
Lu Jian looked at the stone carefully.
This stone has eight sides, each side is in the shape of a quadrilateral, two long and two short. The stone has a diamond-like luster and exudes a strange color. Just looking at it will severely steal people's attention.
Lu Tiao saw different scenes presented here, including some happy things and some regretful things. Just looking at the things inside made people immersed in it and reminisced about the past.
It seems that Taoist Heming is an extraordinary person who specializes in this field.
Pulling off a piece of cloth, Lu Kan wrapped the thing and placed it on the table.
"Now should we just wait until the ninth day arrives?"
Lu Tan asked again.
Stone was checking the condition of Byron's statue, and when he heard Lu Jian's words, he turned around.
"But I always feel that this matter is still a little bit off."
"Indeed, both this stone and this statue have only temporarily sealed them, but they have not solved the essence."
Shia murmured, seeming to still be thinking about the composition of that spell.
"These two spells have the same goal. One is for the soul, and the other is for the body. They seem to be very effective in restraining Taoist Heming, who is about to become the ruler of the old days. Sure enough, only the rulers of the old days can fight against the old ones. Dominator?"
"How about we just smash the stone statue?"
Lu Tiao suggested.
"What if it is released directly after being smashed?"
Stone immediately stopped Lu Tan from swinging the hammer.
The three of them stared at Byron's statue for a while, but found nothing.
The night is already deep, and the quiet night is like a veil covering everyone's hearts, like ink-colored emotions spreading in the mourning hall, which is difficult to resolve.
"If this Soul-Calling Night was caused by the dispute between Taoist Heming, then we have already solved these two guys, and logically we should have completed the task."
Shias thought.
"unless"
Just as she was whispering, Lu Tan suddenly raised his hand.
"etc."
he said.
Stone and Sia immediately looked at him, then quickly turned to look at Byron's stone statue and the stone wrapped in cloth, but found nothing unusual.
"What's wrong?"
Stone asked puzzledly.
"Do you feel like something is missing?"
Lu Jian said.
"What's missing?"
Shia looked around and then suddenly realized.
"Didn't have dinner."
"Indeed, missing dinner is a very important thing."
Lu Tan also agreed, but still shook his head.
"But that's not the point. Listen."
Lu Tan motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Stone and Shia immediately listened carefully, but did not hear any strange sounds or whispers lingering in their ears. There was only silence, echoing in the mourning hall.
Looking at the confused expressions of the two people, Lu Tiao said.
"Don't you think it's a little too quiet?"
He stood up and walked slowly to the window covered by curtains.
"Before this, it had been raining continuously. Although it was not silent outside, it was at least lively and lively. But now"
This quietness is the biggest abnormality.
Lu Tiao opened the curtains and saw a dim sky.
This should be late at night, but outside the window is an orange-yellow color like the sunset.
He looked outside and saw only gray clouds, destroyed roads, and crooked trees.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded in the corridor.
It was crisp, bursts of sound, like the stamping of high heels.
