Chapter 170 Prison Formation
"I have been with that kid for a short time, but I can't say it's a long time. He is a bit withdrawn and doesn't like to make friends, but he won't provoke anyone. He has given gifts to those who have helped him in the past...
I don't know how long he spent in Kuizong. He didn't come back often. Although I taught him to read, his handwriting is so ugly that it looks like a dog's crawling. He can't even write letters. Even if he writes, I can't understand it. "
The latter part of the sentence is really true. People who have seen Qu Yanhui's "Cursive Calligraphy" can't help laughing.
However, when adults talk and interact with each other, one cannot just listen to the surface. Taoist Qingxuan seemed to be narrating Qu Yanhui's story, but wasn't his own thoughts mixed in?
Taoist Qingxuan clearly knew that they and Qu Yanhui might be "opposed", and he also wanted to say a few good words for Qu Yanhui, and he must have had a lot of friendship for Qu Yanhui.
Taoist Qingxuan's words showed that he didn't believe Qu Yanhui would harm his fellow disciples.
"He has now fallen into the devil's trap and become a demon cultivator, using living people as puppets." Lin Xingzhi hated all demon cultivators equally. In his opinion, all demon cultivators were no good, and he thought Taoist Qingxuan was trying to protect Qu Yanhui.
Taoist Qingxuan frowned, looking a little surprised. They knew limited news about the world of cultivation, and they only knew about Qu Yanhui's affairs because they were in the jurisdiction of Kuizong and a disciple of Kuizong came to report it.
There were also common people living in the corners of the temple. I served as a background for a long time, but I couldn't help but speak out.
"This is a high mentality. You don't treat ordinary people as human beings anymore."
"It's not surprising. When he was little, he always ran to graves and kept company with corpses. He is naturally not human."
"It is said that he was involved with a coroner and had bad luck since childhood."
"He looks gloomy and withdrawn, doesn't like to talk, and is cold-hearted. It's not surprising that he would do something like this."
"It's so unlucky... Could it be that he is the one who brought this disaster upon us?"
"Oh my god, that's too vicious. This is where he grew up after all."
Taoist Qingxuan stopped them from speaking without thinking: "Don't jump to conclusions without knowing the truth - charity is for your own goodness, without asking for anything. Charity that asks for rewards is not called kindness, it is called a transaction.
Besides, they flatter when things are going well, and speak ill of you when things go wrong, and they are overly critical of you... Sometimes keeping some words in your heart is also a way to accumulate virtue."
Those people didn't dare to say anything immediately, but their expressions were somewhat angry, and they were obviously blaming Qu Yanhui - it was still unclear whether it had anything to do with him.
Taoist Qingxuan sighed: "Qu Yanhui's actions were his own choice, and my judgment cannot change anything. He made a mistake, which cut off his future fate. If he does too many evil things, it will backfire.
I have no regrets about having shown favor to him in the past, but now he has nothing to do with me anymore - what I feel sorry for is that helpless child, not Qu Yanhui.
The immortal masters must have come here to get rid of these evil cultivators. I can't help with anything else, but I can provide some information. Those evil cultivators wanted to capture people for sacrifice at first. Those evil creatures that eat people will go back after eating. After these evil cultivators found the City God Temple, they seemed to change their minds. They set up something like an altar at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, which can be seen from the fence. "
Everyone couldn't help but recall what Liu Jiqian said when he was at the city gate looking at the formation patterns recorded by Lu Wensheng.
"Originally it should have been a sacrificial formation, but the patterns here have been changed, and now it has become a sealing formation."
What are these demon cultivators trying to block? Is it related to the City God Temple?
Ah, my head is itchy, I feel like I need to grow a brain. Lu Wensheng rubbed his hair irritably - who knew that to eliminate a demon cultivator he also had to analyze clues?
Seeing that Lu Wensheng's hair in front was messed up, Liu Jiqian found it a little funny and reached out to smooth it out like smoothing hair.
Lu Wensheng's eyes widened suddenly, his train of thought was interrupted, he was dazed, he took a breath but it got stuck in his throat, but he didn't know what to say, it would feel even more unnatural if he said it, but his ears inexplicably turned red - was Senior Brother Liu's action too natural? It felt like the atmosphere between the two of them was not right!
Looking at someone who was furious, Liu Jiqian stroked his fur and couldn't help but pinch Lu Wensheng's face. Looking at the other person's expression of disbelief, he withdrew his hand calmly.
Yan Qingshu has been paying attention to the two of them, smacking her lips as she watched - Liu Jiqian is really good at flirting.
"Ahem, ahem, where did the Taoist priest just say we can see their altar?" Lu Wensheng could only awkwardly change the subject. He felt like everyone was looking at him and felt a little embarrassed.
Taoist Qingxuan pretended he didn't see it: "Master, please follow me."
Although Cangshan Mountain looks like a hillside, its height is actually not low, it is still several hundred meters. Looking down from above, with the eyesight of a cultivator, it is still relatively clear.
The center of Puppet City was dark red, with blood drawing strange patterns on the streets. Several men in black were standing around the high platform, and there were zombies spitting out blood clots under the platform.
If you use spiritual sense to investigate, you will be discovered, but it is not clear enough to see it with the naked eye. It is difficult to see what those people are doing, but the huge patterns are still very clear.
Ye Yingzhou frowned as he looked at the pattern. After a long moment, he said in a hoarse voice, "Prison formation blood sacrifice."
"They want to catch something and use this to trap it." Liu Jiqian turned and looked towards the temple, just in time to see the statue of the City God.
The formation points to Cangshan Mountain, living people are used as sacrifices, cause and effect are entangled, and even immortals and gods cannot escape.
Xun Ruo: "No matter what we do, we can't let them complete the formation."
Liu Jiqian said decisively: "Use your spiritual sense to attack them and interrupt the people who are drawing the formation."
To attack with mental power, one needs to be at least at the Golden Core stage at that distance. Ye Yingzhou, Xun Ruo, Liu Jiqian, Wei Xun and the chief of Medical Valley, who had little presence, stood up.
Lu Wensheng: Although it's a bit inappropriate, what's the situation with this chief of Medical Valley? His presence is so low that I would subconsciously ignore him if he didn't come out - what's his name? When did he follow?
Yan Qingshu and Lu Wensheng spoke in unison: "When did your chief arrive?" It seemed that the cultivators' memory had been weakened.
Tang He: "So he was here too, I didn't even notice him."
Gu Jinzhi: "Ahem, I forgot, too. Senior Brother Cheng's presence is naturally low."
The chief of Medical Valley is called Cheng Yang. He has a very low sense of presence and is a bit socially anxious. He doesn't like to talk and likes to stand in the corner. His buffs are stacked full. If it weren't for the faction ranking among the top, sometimes his master Gu Qinghe would forget about him.
There was a period of time when Gu Qinghe's state was - I forgot, then saw the ranking, and my memory came back. Oh, my apprentice! I forgot, then saw the ranking, and my memory came back. Oh, my apprentice!
(So low that I forgot that Chief Medical Valley hadn’t been written.)
The effect is comparable to that of an amnesia potion, but for the nurse, even if it has a low presence, it is a life-saving artifact at critical moments.
(These pictures are quite boring. It’s normal to read them one by one without connecting them together. You can save them for later use. I don’t care anymore.)
(Another meaning of "Horse after the Cannon" is "jumping the horse", which is an opening move in Chinese chess. The opponent has already jumped the horse, and then you make the first move. It refers to taking measures after the fact, which is useless, or saying that you have foresight and expected the outcome of the matter after the fact. It refers to certain situations where people's subjective understanding and actions lag behind objective reality.)
