The strange situation in front of him shocked Miao Wentang. He suddenly remembered the paper talisman that Tang Xiu had just thrust into him outside the courtyard wall. He took it out again and observed it for a moment, and then he discovered something strange about the paper talisman. He clearly saw that there were faint spiritual energy fluctuations on the paper talisman.
"Could it be..."
"Is this an invisibility charm? If you wear it, outsiders won't be able to see you?"
Miao Wentang knew that Tang Xiu was good at making all kinds of talismans, and his heartbeat suddenly increased. He gritted his teeth and walked towards the direction where Tang Xiu and the two Lian family men were, until he walked to Tang Xiu. His eyes were still fixed. Staring at the two big men of the Lian family who were unaware.
"Ahem..."
A big man from the Lian family coughed twice, suddenly turned his head and looked around a few times, raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and said with confusion on his face: "Why do I feel so scared? It seems like I am being targeted by a poisonous snake?"
Another big man also frowned and said in surprise: "You feel this way too? It's so weird. I thought I was delusional. I felt like something was staring at me, and I felt a chill on my back."
Miao Wentang's expression changed slightly and he immediately looked away from the two of them. At this moment, he looked at Tang Xiu with eyes full of admiration.
Invisibility charm.
The legendary invisibility charm.
If you really have an invisibility charm, it will definitely be a weapon for killing people and stealing goods. You can cut off the enemy's head without anyone noticing.
After a while.
The two big men of the Lian family looked around and found nothing strange, then they shook their heads and walked away.
Tang Xiu stood there, looking at Miao Wentang with a smile and asked: "How do you feel?"
Miao Wentang said with a smile: "At first, I felt frightened, but when I found out that they really couldn't see us, I was completely relieved. I said Brother Tang, you are really good! If I guessed correctly, just now What you gave me outside the wall was the invisibility charm, right?"
Tang Xiu nodded and said: "For special reasons, I refined some invisibility charms before. I didn't expect that when I came here to investigate the situation this time, it actually worked. The Lian family's prevention work is very good. If there were no invisibility charms, how easy would it be for us? It’s not that easy to lurk in.”
Miao Wentang rubbed his hands with fiery eyes and asked, "Brother Tang, how many invisibility charms do you have? Can you...sell me some?"
Tang Xiu said strangely: "I don't have many in my hand, only a few."
Miao Wentang said bluntly: "You can set the price as you like. I want as much as you want."
Tang Xiu thought for a while and smiled: "Three pieces, I'll sell them to you for three yuan."
"Ahem..."
Miao Wentang laughed dryly, waved his hand and said: "I'd better not spend money to buy it, I'll give you something in exchange! I know you have been looking for jade carvings of the twelve zodiac signs recently. I have some information about one of the jade carvings. I will give you something after confirmation." You come for me."
"real?"
Tang Xiu had a look of surprise on his face.
Miao Wentang nodded and said: "Really, but the other party is very difficult to deal with, I'm afraid it will take some time. Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Since we have the invisibility charm, let's continue to go inside to find out the situation! Tonight, Whatever we say, we must find out what is going on with the Lian family."
Tang Xiu suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded, took a look deep into the Lian Family Villa, and said in a low voice: "Try not to make any noise. Let's signal to each other if something happens. I have a feeling that this Lian Family Villa is not what it seems on the surface. So simple."
"clear."
Miao Wentang nodded heavily.
In most of the area in front of Lianjia Villa, in addition to lush trees, there are also flowers, plants, rockeries, pavilions everywhere... But when Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang went deep inside, bypassing the fountain square in the center of the Villa, they suddenly felt that the style in front of them was different. Change.
The pitch-black houses are all made of wooden materials, and the exterior is painted with black paint. In addition, trees and other buildings were all painted with black paint, and even the ground was paved with dark asphalt. Even if you look closely, you can't see any color other than black.
"It's so weird here."
Miao Wentang approached Tang Xiu, walked cautiously towards the north, and spoke in a low voice.
Tang Xiu narrowed his eyes. He faintly felt a surge of evil power, and his body was trembling slightly at this moment, because of an impulse from his body that wanted to immediately rush towards the depths of the Lian Family Villa. go. This impulse was even more of a desire, as if there was something deep in the Lian Family Villa that attracted him deeply.
suddenly.
Miao Wentang stretched out his hand to hold Tang Xiu's arm and whispered: "Brother Tang, don't you think it's too weird? Ever since we passed through the Fountain Square, there has been no other sound nearby, not even a living person. No... no, not just living people, but not even chickens, dogs, insects, ants or any other living things."
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "That's true."
Miao Wentang hesitated and said: "Brother Tang, why don't we retreat first! I have begun to feel in my heart that there seems to be something terrifying waiting for us ahead. This feeling makes me very uneasy. .”
Tang Xiu shook his head and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed slightly. The moment he grabbed Miao Wentang's arm, his figure had disappeared around the corner of a building. He clearly saw, in the north direction of the night, a seven or eight-year-old child, holding a rope in his hand and jumping over with a smile on his face. Tang Xiu followed the rope in the child's hand and walked towards it. Looking up, I found that it was a kite flying dozens of meters high.
"Strange, is there something wrong with my hearing?"
Miao Wentang suddenly murmured to himself in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Tang Xiu took a deep look at the child who was jumping around and seemed to be shouting something. He felt the same as Miao Wentang. The child was clearly shouting, but there was no sound. He was clearly jumping, but there was no sound of footsteps.
around.
It was still deathly silent, as if there was something wrong with the hearing system.
After a while.
Tang Xiu looked away from the child, shook his head and said, "He is not a human being, he is... a spirit body."
Miao Wentang asked in confusion: "What is a spirit body?"
Tang Xiu said: "It can be regarded as a soul state, but it is different. A spirit body is a creature with a special physique. If it is attached to a human body, it can be integrated into the human soul and replace it. The child is probably the spirit body. Possessed, the body was forcibly robbed. I didn’t expect that such a thing would exist in the Lian family. It seems that their family has hidden it too deeply."
soon.
The child ran past the two of them and disappeared at the other end of the dark villa. After Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang came out of the corner, they ignored the spirit child and slowly walked deeper into the villa. A few minutes later, Tang Xiu stopped in front of a zebra crossing on a mountain road.
"What's wrong?"
Miao Wentang looked around and found that there were no traces of people around, so he asked curiously.
Tang Xiu said: "The formation. The road in front of us is blocked by the formation. Unless we can break the formation silently and create a gap to get through, it will be difficult for us to escape without alarming the Lian family. case, go deeper.”
Miao Wentang looked expectant and said, "I don't know how to fight, so I can only rely on you."
He knew that Tang Xiu was proficient in formations. When they were involved in danger together, he had seen Tang Xiu deploy the formations with his own eyes, and he also knew that the formations Tang Xiu deployed were very powerful.
Tang Xiu released his spiritual consciousness and circled around the wave of energy in the air for several times. The power of chaos in his body was continuously released and integrated into the energy layer in front of him.
A few minutes later.
Tang Xiu suddenly opened his eyes and whispered: "It's interesting, it's really interesting. Someone from the Lian family can actually arrange the underworld formation. What do the people in their family want to do? Living people exist in this underworld formation. , they will be shrouded in the underworld’s aura and gradually turn into the living dead.”
Miao Wentang was confused: "What do you mean?"
Tang Xiu shook his head and said: "There are some things you don't understand, but I can tell you for sure that the Lian family members living within this formation can no longer be regarded as normal human beings. No wonder I killed the two elders of the Lian family back then. When I visited my ancestors, I found some dull luster on their corpses. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, there is the power of the netherworld in their bodies."
Miao Wentang's expression suddenly changed and he whispered: "Could they be other types of cultivators? For example, the ghost cultivators I saw in the classics?"
Tang Xiu snorted coldly: "Ghost cultivation is when a living person dies, the soul is baptized by the power of the netherworld, and then practices the ghost world skills. This is the real ghost cultivation. If a living person practices the ghost world skills, they will Become a half-human, half-ghost monster. Even if you can survive with great strength and longevity, I’m afraid you won’t achieve much in the future.”
Miao Wentang said with a hint of understanding: "What should we do next? Can you break this formation?"
Tang Xiu smiled confidently, reached out to grab his arm, and stepped towards him in an instant. As his footsteps kept changing directions, his figure soon appeared in the underworld formation. The scene in front of them also changed when they entered the underworld formation.
"That is… "
Miao Wentang always thought that he was well-informed, but after seeing clearly the scene in the Huangquan Formation, his eyes were still as wide as a copper bell, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Altar? Why does the Lian family have so many altars?"
Miao Wentang whispered: "Brother Tang, I have seen this kind of altar in the Miao territory. As far as I know, the number of altars in the entire Miao territory is very small, and there are no more than three in total. But here, there are at least dozens of altars.”
Tang Xiu glanced at it and said: "There are forty-nine altars in total, and there is a blood pool in front of each altar. Damn it, this should be human blood. How many people did the Lian family harm before they could produce so much blood? ?”
