For a moment, I didn't know how to decide.
Maosheng suddenly said in a low voice, "Then seal this cave. If other formations are opened, it means that the man is about to come out, and will kill him without any mercy! Also, there is another move that has not been used yet, but it will be very troublesome. After that period of time, no one should be around the formation. Even if it's waiting by a tree stump, we should keep a certain distance."
"Hmm?" Wu Jinluan showed some confusion.
Maosheng closed his eyes and said after a while, "The entire Juqu Mountain is a connected cave. This cave is interconnected and extensive. At present, the scriptures have been destroyed, and no one knows the specific layout. However, all elders are clear that if someone wants to enter this cave, an extreme method to find him is to flood it with poison."
"We haven't flooded it with poison first because the formation hasn't been repaired."
"Once the formation is complete, and poison is administered for thirty days, regardless of how skilled he is, he will die inside."
Maosheng's words were decisive and even, with a hint of ferocity.
"Is it not possible? Poisonous smoke?" Wu Jinlan asked.
"Yes." Maosheng answered.
The other people from the scene in the dream cave looked rather disappointed.
There was also a trace of fear in their eyes.
"Hmm, then let's use poisonous smoke. We, these gentlemen who enter the tomb, are most afraid of a few kinds of mechanisms, and one of them is poisonous smoke. It is spread everywhere in the angry flow. There is no place to avoid it. However, few people would set up such a thing in their own tomb, as it would disturb peace. This is a place for suppressing ghosts, so it's fine to use it." Wu Jinluan nodded in agreement.
For a moment, Maosheng's face turned very bitter.
"You all may disperse."
Maosheng waved his hand, indicating to the disciples to leave.
I understand that he is about to say something secretive.
Not only the disciples left, including the people from the dream cave, they also left. The field was left with me, Wu Jinluan, and Maosheng, three people.
After a long silence, Maosheng finally said, "Sanmao Zhenjun is also at the foot of the mountain."
A single sentence with four characters, yet its meaning is completely different!
Wu Jinluan's pupils slightly constricted.
He did not speak.
"The people from the eight residences not only destroyed everything in my Juqu Mountain, but they also stole a large number of real person bones. My Juqu Mountain and the eight residences have a hatred that cannot be tolerated!"
"But what they want should be the bones of the Three Peaks True Spirit. However, that burial site is not the same as that of other true masters."
"Three Peaks True Spirit is a guardian of the dead, one person holding one corpse!"
"With one's body and vital energy, to suppress the sins."
"Poison is representative of our loss of control over the situation, which will disappoint our ancestors."
Maosheng's words sounded extremely despondent.
"Could it be that the things they are disappointed about are far more than just this one?" Wu Jinluan seemed thoughtful.
Maosheng made a muffled groan. He covered his chest with a face that turned crimson.
"Master Wu." I shook my head slightly.
Wu Jinluan did not speak much.
Old Gong is tongue-tied, and Wu Jinluan can talk and speak directly, as well as iron cross mountain people have experienced. Baizhai White Pine and White Sand Mountain also experience it.
After half a day's respite, Maosheng finally came to his senses.
"I will order my disciples to prepare. At least it will take two days." Maosheng whispered.
"About right, the formation was opened by brute force, the damage is not serious, but I'm afraid of the kind of dissection to break down the formation, that kind of damage is difficult to make up." Wu Jinluan said.
"Venerable, I will take my leave. If there is anything to be done, I will send my disciples." After saying this, Maosheng left directly.
Wu Jinluan continued to inspect the formation.
Soon, those disciples returned again.
The people from the Dream Workshop also arrived on one side.
The disciples were somewhat constrained, but the people from the Dream Workshop were very enthusiastic. They asked Wu Jinluan if there was anything they could do to help, as long as it was within their abilities.
Wu Jinluan pointed to the stone tablet and said, "Erect it. I want to see if there are any damages on the other side."
The stone slab was upside down, and what was now the front was actually the bottom. It was the bottom where the sword and formation were sealed!
The several people from the Dream Workshop surrounded the stone slab, trying to lift it. To no one's surprise, all of them made a muffled groan.
The weight of the stone slab was far heavier than what Wu Jinluan had said. At two meters in width and length, it was as heavy as a fairly large door!
Two more Taoists came and managed to stand up the stone plate and stabilize it!
"Why, there is blood here?"
One of the people from the Dream Workshop suddenly shouted in surprise.
"The person who opened the formation is injured!" another person shouted in excitement.
Wu Jinluan walked to the other side of the stone tablet, and since I had no other business, I walked over as well.
On the right edge of the stone tablet, there were several distinct blood stains that looked particularly like finger prints!
At the very least, we can determine that someone has manually moved this stone plate.
This is actually quite normal.
Otherwise, how could the stone tablet just fly up into the air?
"Blood can do a lot of things." The person from the Dream Workshop who initially spoke, with his legs wrapped in several pieces of fine hemp cloth, looked like a ghostly old lady.
In the nine schools of arts, the ghostly old lady is the most proficient.
Casting spells is quite simple.
Not only for the ghostly old lady, but for you, Master, getting blood has a considerable use as well.
I was calculated by Ji Kui's two apprentices, it was because of the train, old Gong behaved improperly, I protected him, hurt Ji Kui's apprentice, left a blood symbol, thus leaving a hidden danger.
"Hahaha, not only blood! Look, what is this!"
The joyful words came from the ghostly old lady. He squatted down and picked up a fingernail from the edge that had been pressed down by the stone tablet before.
The fingernail was cut off at the root, the bloodstains above it were not too fresh, and the fingernail also looked gray and white.
"Hmm, a woman's fingernail?" The ghostly old lady showed some suspicion.
"Women are women, not Master. It might be our own people, aiming to destroy the mountain again, and make the mountain gate empty." Another person with a rough opening.
Wu Jinluan took the fingernail and nodded slightly: "At least, this thing can deal with one person. However, we still need to flood the poison. It's not possible that only one person is inside."
"Old Gong should like to eat this woman's fingernail. He can then know their location, and pay special attention to that direction, flooding more poison smoke there." Wu Jinluan said this matter-of-factly.
"Luo Daochang, what do you think?" Wu Jinluan asked me again.
"I leave everything to Master Wu. I don't understand and add no opinion."
After I said that, two crows flew over from the sky, making an unpleasant cawing sound.
"Okay, then let's do that." Wu Jinluan made a decision.
He began to study how to mend the formation.
This process seemed much more tedious.
Hours passed uneventfully.
By the time the sky turned dark, Old Gong appeared on my shoulder.
Wu Jinluan looked up and handed the fingernail to Old Gong.
However, Laogong rejected it with a sour face, speaking with authority: "Xiaowu, what do you think of me?"
"The elder sister deer is not here, and she does not know. The next time you talk with her about heaven and earth, please invite me. I will give you a good support."
Wu Jinluan said in all seriousness.
"Mmm?" Laogong's eyes twinkled, he hiccuped twice before saying: "Don't make all those unnecessary things, otherwise, when the time comes, you can only tell the truth, not exaggerate. Understand?" He added with a wink. "Big deer elder sister doesn't like people to lie."
He added while touching his face and ears.
Wu Jinluan nodded, and with a flick of his finger, the fingernail flew forward. Laogong caught it in his mouth and even took a moment to taste it.
Then, his face changed drastically!
"Great misfortune! Maosheng? Quickly, find him out, old man!"
Laogong's head snapped up instantly, clearly in a state of great urgency, looking around frantically!
My heart also accelerated.
What's the problem with this fingernail?
Why do we need to find Maosheng immediately?
"Heavens, heavens, heavens!"
Laogong cursed several times in a row, and it seemed as if he were about to jump into the hole!
"Old Gong!" I called out softly, "You're in such a hurry. What's going on?! Why aren't you calm?!"
My speech speed was rapid.
"Stay calm? Stay calm, I can't even get a moment of calmness, Master! Do you know whose fingernail this is?" Laogong's voice was sharp, his tone even more so, and there was a hint of suspicion.
In that moment, my heart leaped up, not only that, but it felt like it was being pressed down by a stone, making my breathing difficult.
"Old Gong, you're overreacting. Could it be the fingernail of some big figure?"
Wu Jinluan remained calm as ever.
"Hmph, nothing to know, nothing to be!"
"You, you, go find Maosheng and tell him, don't mess with the poison, stop immediately."
"Old man, you and Master Wu follow me down."
"Before we go down, I'll show you something. Don't be upset in your heart."
Just as he finished speaking, Laogong suddenly appeared in front of the forehead.
His forehead instantly pressed against mine, his face almost touching mine!
