After receiving the order from Qi Xuansu, Lingguan Ding Chou and Lingguan Jiayin were shocked by Qi Xuansu's boldness, but decided to carry out the order.
Because the two of them understand the urgency of the situation at this time, if Qi Xuansu is wrong, Qi Xuansu will bear the primary responsibility, and they will be secondary responsibilities at most, or even not punished. But if Qi Xuansu is right, and they refuse to carry out the execution
, and finally developed a huge rebellion, causing the situation in Borneo to become uncontrollable, then it is hard to say what their fate will be.
Although a first-grade spiritual official is important, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. Strictly speaking, a first-grade spiritual official cannot be separated from the Taoist sect, and a non-Taoist sect cannot be separated from a first-grade spiritual official.
The two spiritual officials came to Chen Shuhua's residence in Shenglong Mansion. It was not close to the palace and was even a little remote. The reason Chen Shuhua gave to the outside world was that she was at odds with the Lord of Dayu and deliberately stayed away from the palace. But now it seems that the truth is
The reason should be that it is convenient for her to carry out some secret activities in the mansion that are not known to outsiders. If she is in a busy city and is too close to the palace, she will be easily noticed.
The two spiritual officers asked their subordinate spiritual officers to surround the entire mansion, and then only the two of them entered the mansion.
At this time, the entire mansion was empty, and there was no one there. It seemed that Chen Shuhua had dismissed his family early, or it was possible that Chen Shuhua had silenced them.
No matter which possibility it is, it means one thing. Chen Shuhua has expected and prepared for today.
Qi Xuansu knew very well that his only advantage was the time difference. If Chen Shuhua could even account for the time difference, it would be difficult to say what the final result of this operation would be.
Lingguan Ding Chou and Lingguan Jiayin looked at each other through their visors, neither of them said anything, and they looked a little heavy.
Soon, the two spiritual officials came to Chen Shuhua's study.
Everything here is neat and tidy, as if the owner has just left and will be back soon.
Jia Yin Ling Guan scanned for a week, and soon locked his eyes on a bookshelf. Then Jia Yin Ling Guan did not look for anything like a mechanism at all, he took out a huge ax and split the bookshelf in half.
A downward portal appeared in front of the two spiritual officials, like an originally erected gate that had fallen to the ground. Below the portal was a stone path winding downwards. The steps on the stone path were very rough and seemed to be just a temporary excavation.
It hasn't been carefully polished yet.
Jia Yin Ling Guan said in a deep voice, "Our Chief Chen is really hiding her secrets. Others only think of her as a yes-man for the king's office, but they don't know that she is using the king's office as a shield."
Ding Chouling said, "How can you be sure that the King's office was not involved? I think it is impossible that the King's office was unaware of it. At worst, it was intentional."
Indulge.”
Jiayin Lingguan was startled and did not refute.
Lingguan Ding Chou took out his big shield, which was almost like a wall, and walked in front.
The Jiayin Lingguan took out a long spear and walked behind.
The length of this secret path is somewhat beyond the expectations of Ding Chou Lingguan and Jiayin Lingguan. It is obviously the magical power of Xumi Mustard Seed that has been used to transcend the meaning of length in this world. There are many traps and restrictions in it.
The two of them couldn't fly quickly, so they could only walk on foot, constantly eliminating traps, so it was destined to be a long journey.
The reason is very simple, Chen Shuhua just wants to delay as much time as possible.
When the two spiritual officers finally reached the end of this passage, what stood in front of them was a huge formation.
The formation method is all about positions. In the battle at Five Elements Mountain, the spirit officers and the men in black repeatedly fought for positions. In the end, the spirit officers were superior and defeated the men in black, removing most of the positions, leaving the Five Elements Mountain.
The formation failed, allowing Qiniang to successfully banish the "proprietor".
The formation points are not hidden, they stand on the ground, like tombstones, arranged in a certain pattern.
Jiayin Lingguan said, "Is this the Shenglong Mansion that I know? There is a large tomb outside the city, and two immortal-level divine descending vessels are hidden in it. Such an underground city has been excavated in the city and set up here.
Ding Chou, you are stationed in Shenglong Mansion, so you didn’t notice it at all?"
Ding Chou Lingguan stared at the activated formation in front of him and said, "It's not surprising. If Qi Cixi's speculation is true, Chief Chen and the leader of Dayu jointly planned this matter, then Chief Chen will block it and use all Dayu's power to do it."
With the power of the royal family, even if it digs a little bit a year, it is not difficult to do this. And in my opinion, this place is not newly built, it may have existed for a long time, and then it was transformed, so that it becomes what it is now."
The two spirit officers did not rush into the formation. The Jia Yin spirit officer squatted down and carefully observed the formation. "If I read correctly, this seems to be the formation of the ancient witch sect, but it is in collusion with the ancient immortal Wu Luo."
Worth it."
Ding Chouling official said, "One of the characteristics of ancient witchcraft is that it is bloody and cruel, and likes to use living animals as sacrifices. Among many ancient immortals, Wuluo uses blood sacrifices the most, so it has the heaviest karma. Preliminary inference is that this
The formation method is no exception, it has a lot of traces of blood sacrifices, and these monuments are all made of blood."
Having said that, Ding Chou, the spiritual official, took out a big bow and drew it like a full moon.
, shot an arrow towards the other side of the formation.
The arrows passed over the formation, and then became invisible after failing to pass through the formation.
The next moment, figures appeared above the blood tablets.
These figures are all different, including people dressed as Taoists, people dressed as pirates, Buddhist monks, Confucian scholars, and wizards. There are people from the Central Plains, indigenous people from Southeast Asia, and even Western faces.
The only thing they have in common is that they are all dead.
The body is illusory, blood-red, and muddy, like a puppet.
I don’t know how much effort and time Chen Shuhua spent to gather so many “people” to build such a bloody formation.
Jiayin Lingguan even recognized a few familiar faces, "Isn't that the owner of the Yuanbao Ship? It can be regarded as a big force on the sea. At its peak, it had more than a hundred ships under its command. In the past few years, it was destroyed by the 'Tianting'
It was destroyed. I didn’t expect that he himself would be reduced to such a state, and he would not be able to live in peace after death."
"This is the senior manager of Xibosuozhou Company. I met him at the Lantern Festival celebration. He suddenly disappeared a few years ago. It is said that he may have strayed into an unknown secret realm and got trapped in it. For this reason, Xibosuozhou
The company was in turmoil for a while, but eventually it was settled. Unexpectedly, it ended up becoming our chief Chen’s collection.”
"I know this Taoist priest. He said that he has passed away. Has he been dug out of his grave again?"
"From this point of view, Chief Chen is really a real person and does not reveal his true identity."
Lingguan Ding Chou suddenly asked, "Jiayin, what level of cultivation is Chief Chen?"
Jiayin Lingguan replied, "In the past, we have always claimed that it was created by nature. Now it seems that it is not that simple."
Ding Chouling said, "It is difficult to pretend that such a thing is done by others. If it is all done by Chief Chen alone, and it has to be done quietly, I am afraid it cannot be justified based on the realm of cultivation at one stage of creation. At the very least, it must be fake."
Only immortals can do that."
Official Jiayin Ling said, "I also have this suspicion, but why did she hide it from Master Landa?"
Ding Chou Lingguan sighed, "It should be some kind of external object that can allow her to suppress her realm and cultivation. Master Lan Da has been very tired over the years and is too lazy to deal with various affairs. He doesn't see her a few times throughout the year.
It is not difficult to fool the past. Moreover, creation and pseudo-immortality are two stages of the same realm. In the past, there was no such thing as pseudo-immortality."
Jia Yin Ling Guan's voice was a little solemn, "You are a fake immortal, no wonder Qi Ci insisted on letting the two of us come together."
Ding Chouling said, "If it's just a fake immortal, then the situation is still under control."
The Jiayin Lingguan stood up and asked, "Break through?"
Ding Chouling nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way."
The two of them said no more, each took out their weapons and rushed into the formation together.
This formation is not unpowerful. Even if a master in the creation stage enters it, he may not be safe and sound. However, two first-grade spiritual officers are not as good as creation gods. If they join forces, this formation will not be able to survive.
Nothing.
Soon, all the blood shadows in the formation were killed by the two men, and the blood monuments where the blood shadows resided also collapsed one by one.
There is a saying, you can't do anything to me when you are alive, let alone when you are dead?
These blood shadows were no match for the two first-grade spiritual officers when they were alive, so there is no reason why they would be able to defeat the first-grade spiritual officials after death.
When the two first-grade spiritual officers passed through the formation, they finally saw the altar built underground.
At the top of the altar, Chen Shuhua, dressed in a real crane cloak, was standing there, holding a blood-red stone in her hand.
"Jiayin Lingguan, Ding Chou Lingguan, why did you break into my home?"
Different from the past, Chen Shuhua at this time was no longer as friendly as usual. His whole body was filled with a mysterious and gloomy aura, like a poisonous snake hiding in a cave, which made the two spiritual officers feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
After a while, Officer Ding Chou said, "Chief Chen, we are ordered by the Taoist government to ask you to come back with us to assist in the investigation."
"An order from the Taoist government?" Chen Shuhua sneered, "Or an order from Qi Xuansu?"
Official Jia Yin Ling said, "Qi Cixi has reported to Jin Que, and it is also Jin Que's order. I hope Chief Chen will rein in the situation and not make the same mistake again and again."
"Current from the brink?" Chen Shuhua did not hide his sarcasm, "The two spiritual officials treat me as a child. There are so many things, one after another, each of which is enough to dismiss me from my post and investigate. Add up,
Will the Taoist sect let me go? No one can protect me from the sins I have committed, and no amount of merit can make up for it."
The two spiritual officers each clenched the weapons in their hands.
Chen Shuhua did not panic at all, and continued, "Qi Xuansu is self-righteous, thinking that I did not recognize the origin of Shangguan Ya, thinking that I did not know that the Eight Tribes were involved in this matter, he thought that I would misjudge, and then thought that there was still plenty of time. In fact, for me
For him, the time was just right, but he couldn't protect himself."
Jiayin Lingguan said in a deep voice, "If that's the case, then don't blame us for offending you."
