Over the next three days, the sea was calm. Including the day I first met that tall-faced man, and the time we spent finding Si Yan, as well as the time we lost, it has been twelve days.
Compared to the day they entered Si Yan, it's nothing much.
Roughly judging, they spent half a month to find the first tomb of the Three Miao True Master.
Even old Gong was muttering to himself, hoping they would encounter Yan Tai, and Wu Ling the little mongrel couldn't help but reach for it, only to end up dead.
Expectations are beautiful, but the reality may never happen.
On the seventh day we came out, and on the fifteenth day after I fought with the long-faced man, there was a mountain tremor in Juqu Mountain.
This caused many immortals to be on high alert, and it also made the disciples of Juqu Mountain tremble with fear.
Wu Jinluan did something.
He called me and Si Yan to the main peak of Juqu Mountain, the place where Mao Xi and Mao Su died.
There, Wu Jinlan sat cross-legged with a compass on his head.
According to him, the feng shui of Juqu Mountain is still stable now.
It's not because the tomb was disturbed and the body of the Three Miao True Master was taken, which triggered the feng shui.
On the contrary, it's because the people inside the mountain didn't achieve their goal. They used special means to disrupt the feng shui at a certain node, which would disarrange the small paths inside the mountain and analyze which positions have the most stable and likely places to hide the bodies of the Three Miao True Masters.
At this moment, the place where Wu Jinluan was sitting was a place where qi holes were located. If the body of the Three Miao True Master was disturbed, the first thing that should appear should be a compass needle method that rotates continuously.
This seems to be a kind of invisible competition.
Juqu Mountain has not stopped poisoning.
Many disciples were expecting that the master and apprentice had already died in the mountains.
As time went on, my state of mind calmed down a lot from the initial tension and turmoil.
Juqu Mountain is indeed not simple. At least, the feng shui is complicated enough, and there haven't been any problems so far.
On the twenty-first day, during the noon hour, just after the sun was at its brightest, Mao Sheng raced into the main hall in a careless manner and shouted: "Young... Luo Daoist master, a formation has been broken, all of my disciples have been killed, no one has been able to send out a signal... The immortals have already gone..."
My face changed dramatically, and Wu Jinlan was equally serious.
"Finally... after the feng shui is disturbed, the exit layout also changes. He should have calculated that there are heavy crises outside, so he changed places and escaped..." Wu Jinlan's voice contained a hint of unwillingness: "That person has been in contact with Wei Director and knows Lao Gong's abilities. He specifically chose to make his appearance at dawn, not only walked through weak points, but also allowed two immortals to be ineffective..."
"Did they succeed?" I asked the most critical question.
"From what I can see now, they haven't succeeded. Using the spirit feathers of the rising sun to transform and dissipate the corpse, breaking the corpse and causing the evil spirit to enter, no matter when, there will always be complaints and resentment in the air. The compass will definitely rotate without stopping, and it will be broken." Wu Jinlan replied with a heavy voice.
This result is probably the only reason he is left with regret and shadow.
The other side can be considered to have returned in defeat.
We were so well-prepared, but we still couldn't keep him...
Yes, there is another problem, the poisonous smoke.
When the structure inside the mountain changes, many places will be blocked, and the poisonous smoke cannot completely fill the entire mountain.
The tall-faced man is not only trying to find the corpse but also breaking the pattern.
...
Mao Sheng led the way, bringing us to move quickly in the direction he said.
The mountain was empty, actually, it was the disciples who had all gone in that direction.
An atmosphere of tension and readiness hung in the air around us.
We walked for about two or three hours, suddenly Wu Jinluan changed direction, not following Mao Sheng's path, but taking another path.
I didn't ask the reason, it was too simple, he must have thought of something on the spot.
But from that other path, we ended up heading back towards the original main peak.
"Don't chase them!?" Mao Sheng was surprised and curious: "Why go back?"
"The compass needle turned." Wu Jinluan's answer made me shiver, and Mao Sheng's face changed color as well.
"But... this turning needle is strange, and we can't be sure if it's the evil spirit in the mountain..." Wu Jinluan held the compass in one hand, his eyes showing deep thought.
"I will notify the senior master to return?" Si Yan actually followed us all along, because Wu Jinluan's place was also an essential position.
"Bring half of them back. The immortals should have already gathered. If they have any discoveries, half of the people can chase after them, and the other half can return to the main peak. That strong feeling of being startled and afraid is very intense." Wu Jinluan added.
Si Yan started to contact He You Tian through the satellite phone.
I didn't interfere in these matters and remained fully alert.
Wu Jinluan was also a grandmaster. Although his strength couldn't match that of Mao San, Mao Si, or Mao San, he was still very strong.
He would never experience a heart-stopping scare out of the blue.
This way and that, we wasted about four hours and finally returned to the main hall.
We were followed by many disciples who were in the main hall at the time. They returned with us and all appeared extremely vigilant.
Looking around, at first glance, there was nothing unusual to be seen.
"It's so strange... the needle turned so fast just now, there's an extremely ominous thing here, and then it disappeared again?" Wu Jinluan's words made the disciples exchange worried glances.
I and Si Yan were equally surprised and suspicious.
Wu Jinluan quickly walked towards a location below the statue of the Three Miao True Master!
After we went over there, we saw a square space where ground-penetrating rods were inserted in various shapes, swords made of tangerine wood and copper, as well as some bell ringers.
"Nothing is wrong... " Mao Sheng was slightly uneasy and said: "Perhaps they actually succeeded, because the feng shui of the mountain is fine because not only the ancestor's body was taken away, but also the suppressed evil corpse was taken away?"
"I think the possibility is not great. That evil spirit is not simple. As the Master Daoist said, it's not just about transformation into feathers but also possibly an outgoing of the shadow spirit. If they didn't have a broken mind, they wouldn't confront the evil spirit head-on, and the possibility of taking the body unharmed is almost zero." Wu Jinluan made a shushing gesture, looking carefully at the compass in his hand and then fixing his gaze on that formation.
"The formation... is indeed perfect, very strange... it's too strange."
Wu Jinluan's attitude clearly indicates that he believes something has run out of here?
This contradicts some of the things he had said.
It's impossible for the corpse and ghost to come out during the daytime. The tall-faced man ran from another direction as well.
"Senior Master is probably on the way here, won't it be because of some changes in feng shui details that led to your incorrect judgment, Mr. Wu? Don't let them continue to chase after them, I'm afraid..." Si Yan's words were cut off.
Wu Jinluan's gaze suddenly fell on Mao Sheng.
The eyes were very sharp, as if they were a knife, trying to analyze Mao Sheng's inner thoughts.
"I... what happened? Mr. Wu, your eyes are a bit scary..." Mao Sheng was particularly uneasy.
