Daosheng and others looked at those runes and saw that these runes used for sealing were extremely gorgeous, but behind the runes there was a layer of surging darkness. The darkness changed behind the light of the runes, which was extremely strange.
They even faintly heard chanting coming from behind the rune seal barrier, like the whispers of the devil, tempting people to fall.
Light and darkness collide with each other and the struggle is fierce.
And behind the darkness, some blurry images could be vaguely seen, but because of the sealed wall, it was impossible to see what they were.
"Senior Daosheng, have you ever seen such a strange seal?"
Yingying said: "The last time I saw this kind of strange memory seal, I was really shocked."
"I dare not call you senior. If we consider age, I may be one or two years younger than you."
The Taoist Saint said a few polite words, looked at Su Yun's memory seal, pondered for a moment, and said hesitantly: "I have seen these runes."
Chi Xiaoyao and Yingying were greatly encouraged and waited for him to continue.
"Seven years ago, Qu Jin Qu Taichang sent someone to send me a letter. The letter contained this rune mark, but it was not complete."
The Taoist Sage hesitated for a moment and took out a letter. The letter was written on gold paper, and the words on the letter kept changing under the stimulation of the Taoist Sage's vital energy.
Chi Xiaoyao and Yingying read the letter. It said that the younger generation Qu Jin was ordered by the Emperor of Dongdu to come to Tianshiyuan to study the ghost market phenomenon. They have made some discoveries and will make their results public in the future. Now they need the help of the Taoist Saint. They have designed some runes and need the Taoist Saint to help improve them. They beg the Taoist Saint to teach them and so on.
"At that time, I was in seclusion, trying to prolong my life. By the time I came out of seclusion and received this letter, the drastic changes in Tianmen Town had already occurred."
The Taoist said slowly, "I am very sad. Perhaps if I had received his letter earlier, I could have saved these people. But when I studied these runes, I found that this kind of runes is a sealing rune. These runes are not complete, but the seal contained in the rune magic is extremely terrifying. What exactly are they trying to seal? Even I feel fear..."
When he said this, he couldn't help but shudder.
Chi Xiaoyao and Yingying looked at each other, and a terrible thought came to their mind: "Qu Jin, Qu Taichang and others created these sealing runes in order to seal Su Yun and Su Shizi!"
Dao Sheng continued, "I was unable to help. After he came out of retreat, Qu Jin Qu Taichang was already dead, and his spirit was nowhere to be found. No one could answer my questions."
He had been to the old site of Tianmen Town, but found only tombs there, but did not find Qu Jin and others.
At this time, the sealed wall in Su Yun's spiritual world shook, pressing the darkness and the memories behind the darkness to retreat, becoming fainter and more blurred.
Yingying was about to speak, but Chi Xiaoyao had already taken the lead and shouted: "Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town!"
Su Yun, who was in a coma, twitched twice, and Su Yun's soul in the spiritual world also twitched. The sealing wall surged forward again and gradually became clearer.
Chi Xiaoyao blinked his eyes and thought, "Junior Brother Su shouldn't be dead, right? However, he didn't die even though he had such a powerful seal in the spirit world..."
"After I knew that this rune was a sealing rune, I wondered what they were trying to seal. If I could break it by force, I could break it out and help Master Su. But..."
The Taoist Saint looked at the sealed wall with difficulty, shook his head and said, "It's just that I didn't know before that there is a layer of darkness behind this rune. Now, I am a little afraid to unlock the seal."
Chi Xiaoyao was puzzled and asked: "Senior, do you mean that darkness is also a seal?"
Dao Sheng was a little unsure and said, "It could be a seal, but it could also be a creature, or a spirit."
Yingying and Chi Xiaoyao couldn't help but be stunned.
The Taoist Saint walked back and forth in front of the sealed wall, constantly looking at the unpredictable darkness behind the wall, and said: "I suspect that Qu Jin may have sealed a terrible creature in Su Shizi's memory, and then sealed his memory, locking up the creature or spirit, and preventing it from escaping."
"How is it possible to seal a living being or a spirit in memory?" Chi Xiaoyao was horrified.
“It’s possible.”
Yingying looked solemn. She landed on her shoulder, stretched out her hand and waved it. Countless words and patterns flew out and spread out in front of them.
"There are records of this in the books of Tiandao Academy. Among them, Qu Jin and Qu Taichang are great experts in this field."
Yingying retrieved a series of text patterns and said, "Qu Taichang has done a lot of research on this. He said that the soul is the spirit, and memory is also a part of the spirit. It is entirely possible to seal the souls of others in a person's memory."
Chi Xiaoyao looked at the text patterns flying in front of him, some of which were hideous and terrifying monsters!
Those monsters are tall and burly. Next to their toes there is often a kind-looking old man standing, holding an axe in his hands and smiling, as if he is looking at Chi Xiaoyao and others outside the screen.
"When scholars from the Tiandao Academy do research, they always bring along scholars who are good at painting to do shorthand notes. These shorthand notes record the research done by Qu Taichang in those years."
Yingying stretched out her hand and waved lightly, and pictures flew past them. Some of the pictures were extremely bloody, and they were scenes of Qu Taichang's human experiments.
They tried to seal the monsters in the memories of the spiritualists, but some of the seals were unsuccessful, and the monsters retaliated against the spiritualists' souls. Some of the spiritualists' heads exploded, and their bodies exploded as well. The scenes were extremely tragic!
"Qu Taichang was a madman back then."
Yingying said: "Many of his records are extremely crazy, but fortunately, the emperor backed him up, so he didn't cause any big trouble. The emperor ordered him to go to Tianmen Town to do research, probably because he saw his madness... Qingyu Town! Qingyu Town!"
Su Yun was about to wake up. He twitched when he heard the words, and the sealing wall became clear again.
Yingying continued, "Some creatures, such as Lingxi, live in the spirit world. Therefore, some special creatures can also be sealed in memory. But at that time, Su Shizi should have been just a child of five or six years old, right?"
She frowned and asked in confusion: "Why would Qu Taichang and others use a five or six-year-old child for experiments?"
She couldn't figure it out, and neither could Chi Xiaoyao.
"Master Daoist... Senior Daoist Saint!"
Chi Xiaoyao quickly changed his words and said, "Senior just said there are two possibilities. One is that some creature or spirit is sealed in Junior Brother Su's memory, and the other possibility is a seal. So what does this seal mean?"
"If it is some kind of creature or spirit, we still have to deal with it. Qu Jin and his men cannot kill this creature or spirit, so they sealed it in Su Shizi's memory. What they cannot do, I may be able to do. Besides, I can find a few good friends, so I should be able to solve it, right?"
Dao Sheng sighed and said, "But what I fear most is another possibility. If this darkness is also a seal, then these two seals are stacked together. I have never seen a seal of this size before."
He couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear in his eyes.
Qu Jin, Qu Taichang and others are the top figures in the world today, with extraordinary wisdom. What is the thing they are trying so hard to seal
Is it some kind of terrifying creature in Su Yun's memory, or...
Dao Sheng's throat was a little dry, and he whispered: "Perhaps what they want to seal is not a certain creature or spirit, what they want to seal is perhaps Su Shizi..."
Chi Xiaoyao was stunned and looked at Yingying quickly.
Yingying looked solemn, nodded slightly, and said: "The Taoist's guess is very reasonable. Qu Taichang and his men's intentions do have these two possibilities. If we want to know the truth, there is only one way, and that is... to go to Qingyu Town!"
Su Yun twitched a few more times.
Dao Sheng said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Ying is right. The word Qingyu Town is the condition for triggering the seal, so Qingyu Town must be related to the secret behind the seal. Qu Jin, Qu Taichang and others obviously don't want Pavilion Master Su to recall Qingyu Town and some things."
"In this case, the only way to find out what is behind this is to go to Qingyu Town!"
Su Yun woke up slowly, only to find himself lying on the table, with a melodious dragon roar coming to his ears.
He stood up hurriedly and saw that he was now on the moving Zhulong chariot. The trees outside were flying backwards. In the distance, he could see huge mines, and further away were the tall buildings of Shuofang City.
He was getting farther and farther away from Shuofang City. Zhulong galloped along the post road towards Tianshiyuan.
Because of the invasion of the Khan outside the Great Wall, the Zhulong Chariot leading to the outside of the Great Wall has stopped. Now the Zhulong Chariot only travels to the Tianshiyuan Post Station.
"I remember that I was at the Xinglin Herbal Medicine Shop before Yingying knocked me unconscious. How come I'm on the Zhulong Chariot now?"
Su Yun had a splitting headache and tinnitus in his ears. It felt like his head was being hit by an axe again and again. The aftereffects of Yingying triggering the seal of Qingyu Town this time were many times more serious than the last time he triggered it himself.
"Yingying must be taking revenge on me for reciting the Sixteen Chapters of the True Dragon. The revenge is so fierce..."
At this time, Zhulong gradually slowed down and slowly stopped outside a small town.
What’s strange is that in the past, the spiritualists guarding the Zhulong chariot would report which stop it had arrived at, but this time no one reported.
Su Yun was surprised and looked outside. He saw the spring sun hanging in the sky. Although it was spring, there was a hint of summer outside.
The small town under the scorching sun is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is very beautiful.
Su Yun looked around and found that he was the only one in the carriage, and the book monster Yingying was not in her spiritual world at the moment.
He hesitated and looked out at the town.
At the entrance of the town there is a five-gate archway, which is somewhat similar to the Tianmen Gate in Tianmen Town.
He somehow came to the door of the Zhulong chariot, opened the door and walked down, came to the archway, and looked up.
There are three black words written on the portal in the center of the archway.
Herring Town!
Su Yun was in a trance. He raised his foot, hesitated a little, but still put it down and walked into Qingyu Town.
Outside the town, Daosheng, Chi Xiaoyao and Yingying watched this scene quietly. Chi Xiaoyao hesitated and said nothing.
"Auntie, have you heard that a child is missing in this town?"
They heard Su Yun ask: "Lost seven years ago... No, thank you..."
"Uncle, have you heard that a child is missing in this town? Thank you."
