Nightmare Apostle

In Yang Xiao's memory, among all the statues in the temple, there was only one general in armor, and it happened to be Zhang Songde's statue.

Now it matched.

No wonder the bodies of Zhang Songde and the other three could not be found. It turned out that they were secretly taken away by the people in the Earl's Mansion and stuffed into the statues as dirty things.

Thinking of the 8 land temples in front, Yang Xiao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He thought that there must be a body hidden in each statue.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out. According to Fang Zhou Lou Huiyang, Zhang Songde was dragged into the temple by a ghost, which means that his body was taken away by the ghost. But if that's the case, how did the people in the Earl's Mansion get the body? Could it be that... the people in the Earl's Mansion can also make a deal with the ghost?

The secrets of the Earl's Mansion are being revealed bit by bit, but Yang Xiao doesn't have a sense of sudden enlightenment. On the contrary, he feels like he is stuck in a quagmire. The more he struggles, the deeper he sinks, and the more powerless he feels.

It is foreseeable that the Earl's Mansion is playing a big game, and this game has quietly started a hundred years ago when the construction of the first land temple began.

A mansion took a hundred years, several generations of people spent countless financial and material resources, and hundreds of lives, just for a plan. Yang Xiao couldn't imagine how huge this plan was, but as Xiang Fengchen said, it must be an act against the will of heaven.

And the core of this plan is the ancestor, the remnant of the previous dynasty, the ninth prince.

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered a sentence, any evil spirit who came to the world must be robbed by heaven. In order to avoid being struck to death by thunder, the evil spirit will confuse people's hearts and disguise themselves as righteous gods, deceiving ignorant people to build temples for it and send incense, using incense to cover up its own evil spirit.

Yang Xiao didn't dare to assert what this ancestor was, but it was definitely not a human being. It was definitely a disaster to let it become a climate.

Yang Xiao kept asking Liu Sanye to drink one cup after another. Liu Sanye, who was not good at drinking, got drunk and was inadvertently tricked by Yang Xiao to get some information.

According to Liu Sanye, his cousin had been working in the mansion for ten years, but for such a long time,

he had never seen the true face of the master in the mansion.

Not to mention the master, even those clan members, he had never seen the face of them. These people acted very strangely, usually at night, and wore scary and strange masks on their faces.

It was also a big wonder that weddings and funerals were not open to the public. His cousin had never seen the newlyweds who came in. The funerals in the mansion were also very strange. One day after an old man in the mansion passed away, a friend of his cousin who was working in the mansion found his cousin in shock and told him a very scary thing.

He was called by the housekeeper of the mansion to keep watch for the old man the night before. He was the only one in the mourning hall at night. In the second half of the night, it was quiet and there was no sound around. He stared at the coffin, and his curiosity became more and more uncontrollable.

After all, he had worked in the mansion for so long and had never seen the true faces of these masters. He thought that since the person was dead, the mask on his face must have been taken off, so he quietly walked to the coffin while no one was around.

It was not the day of burial yet, and the coffin lid had not been nailed shut. He mustered up his courage and lifted the coffin board with force. The Earl's Mansion was a large family, so the coffins used were naturally the best choice. The material was very solid, and the coffin lid was very heavy. He tried his best to just open a crack in the coffin board, and looked inside through the crack.

He saw a scene that he would never forget. The corpse inside was incomplete, as if it had been bitten and eaten by many wild beasts. Only some remaining meat scraps were left on the bones. The scene was horrible.

As he thought, there was no mask on the face of the corpse, but the face under the mask scared him so much that he almost fainted. What a horrible face it was, the skin was like bark, with pits and bumps on it,

The facial features were twisted and displaced, the nostrils were turned outward, and there was a tumor-like thing on each side of the forehead.

This is not a human, it is clearly a monster!

Not long after this person told his cousin about the matter, this person disappeared. Later, when his cousin heard about this person again, he was dead. It was said that he had an acute illness.

But his cousin remembered that this person had always been in good health. When he came to tell him about this matter, he was just too frightened, and he didn't see any major problems.

Hearing this, the matter was already very clear. This person was killed by the Earl's Mansion. As the saying goes, trouble comes from the mouth, and this should be here.

But on second thought, perhaps when the Earl's Mansion arranged this person to keep watch, the people in the Earl's Mansion did not intend to let him live.

With a "dong" sound, Mr. Liu's head hit the table, and then he lay on the table, snoring and breathing out a strong smell of alcohol.

"Mr. San? Mr. San?" Yang Xiao was getting into the mood and was about to ask something else, but he couldn't wake Mr. Liu up anymore.

This person was average in character, but he drank well. He fell asleep when he was drunk, didn't make any noise, and didn't bother anyone at all.

There was no point in staying at this time. Yang Xiao left a piece of silver as wine money, got up and left, and found the other three people to meet up.

While walking back, he told the three people the news he had found out. While Yang Xiao was pouring wine for Mr. Liu, the other three people were not idle. They found the carriage of the Earl's Mansion in a remote alley not far from here. There was a locked small yard there, and there were 4 thin-skinned coffins in the yard, covered with straw mats for cover.

Xiang Fengchen ventured in to take a look. There was blood in the coffin, and some disgusting mucus, just like the mucus on the ghost in the well last night.

Based on the information currently known, it can be concluded that four corpses were smuggled here from the Earl's Mansion recently, which are the four teammates they lost, Yuan Ruoqi, Yuze Run, Gong Banlan, and Zhang Songde.

The corpses of teammates were stuffed into the four guardian statues as dirty things, and the corresponding statues were the same as the four guardian statues when they were alive.

"Give me the map!" Xiang Fengchen's face was gloomy and he ordered Jiang Qingluan rudely. The latter immediately took out the book and presented it to him.

After finding a secluded alley, Xiang Fengchen turned the book over and looked at the map carefully. Everyone was waiting aside. Yang Xiao was so depressed that he didn't dare to breathe. He could feel that this matter was very serious.

"Hiss." Xiang Fengchen took a breath. When he raised his head again, his face turned pale.

"I know what they're going to do."

"Say." Nalan Shuo frowned.

"This ancestor has been dead for a long time. He died more than a hundred years ago. They are using evil magic to forcefully renew his life."

"What kind of Immortal Official Temple is this? It is clearly the Dragon Suppressing Platform. These nine temples are used to suppress the souls of our ancestors that have not completely dissipated. They serve them with imperial ceremonials and use human bones and blood to decorate the statues of protectors, and in this way, they can awaken the ancestors. The loyal souls of the 11 martyrs who sacrificed their lives to protect the Lord feed back the dragon spirit of the previous Lord with their loyalty and courage.”

"It's a pity that they took the wrong path from the beginning. Resurrection from the dead is an act against nature, and the change of dynasties is in line with the inevitable of nature. Such an act against nature will inevitably lead to disaster!" Xiang Fengchen stretched out his hand and pointed at various places on the map, " The location of these nine temples is like There are nine nails that lock the Feng Shui of the entire Fushou Village. The so-called longevity is basically to use the name of longevity to avoid heavenly tribulation. Every time a temple is built, it means that one escapes from heavenly tribulation. This thing has been escaped for hundreds of years. Eight heavenly tribulations are about to happen."

"This is the ninth time. If it escapes this time, I'm afraid it will become a disaster." Jiang Qingluan frowned and realized the seriousness of the problem.

Unexpectedly, Nalan Shuo slowly shook his head and corrected: "This thing has become a prince. The prince's mansion has been planning for a hundred years, just for today."

Jiang Qingluan looked at Xiang Fengchen as if seeking confirmation. Xiang Fengchen's face was even uglier than Nalan Shuo's. He spoke after a long time: "He is right. This thing is beyond our ability to deal with, and it is too late. No matter what we do, Nothing can stop this thing from being born.”

"What will happen when you are born?" Yang Xiao asked in a low voice.

Taking a deep breath, Xiang Fengchen closed his eyes in despair, "I don't know, there is no such thing recorded in the ancient books. The old king of the previous dynasty, the dragon's energy and resentment accumulated over a hundred years, have been used by thousands of people." It’s no wonder that the wronged souls imprisoned in Zhenlongtai can attract the leader of the current warlock lineage to come in person. It’s a pity.::::

+

"Mr. Xiang, after all, this ancestor is the old king of the previous dynasty. No matter how much dragon energy he has, it will be almost used up in the past hundred or so years. You are a famous Feng Shui great warlock in the world. Don't belittle yourself." Jiang Qingluan advised.

"You know nothing!" Jiang Qingluan was so startled by Xiang Fengchen's sharp eyes that he couldn't help but take a step back, "This thing is the only remaining dragon vein from the previous dynasty. The dragon energy from the previous dynasty is gathered into it, and it can indeed be diluted in a hundred or so years. Dragon Qi, but it doesn’t have it, because their veins haven’t blossomed at all in recent years.”

"There are no branches and leaves..." The next second, Jiang Qingluan's eyes widened suddenly. She suddenly realized something. Among the five weirdos in the uncle's house, weddings and funerals were not allowed to the public.

It is said that the Earl's Mansion has kept a very low profile in both public affairs and private affairs over the years. No one knows the background of the bride who marries into the residence or the uncle who is recruited into the house. Now Jiang Qingluan finally understands that these people are not outsiders at all, but The blood clan of the Earl's Mansion, this large family, all practice incest in order to ensure that the dragon's energy does not leak out.

It started from the first generation below the Ninth Prince, and it has been like this from generation to generation for more than a hundred years. No wonder the people in the Earl's Palace wear masks on their faces and have their own physical defects. Now it seems that this evil behavior has led to The sequelae of coming.

At the same time, Jiang Qingluan realized something even more disgusting. The corpses of people who had died in the mansion over the years also contained thin dragon energy, so it was not wasted.

This was the reason why the servants opened the coffin out of curiosity and saw that the corpse was mutilated. These were secrets that were absolutely not allowed to be leaked in the Earl's Mansion.

"This whole family is crazy. They don't want to completely resurrect the ancestors. They... they want to be the emperor!" Yang Xiao hit the nail on the head.

"Overthrow the new dynasty and regain the power of the king." Xiang Fengchen sighed, only the dragon energy is enough. Under each dragon-suppressing platform, there are still the souls of those who died in vain for so many years. They are just the corpses that Yang Xiao and others lost. Lin, I don’t know how many innocent souls died in vain.

Yang Xiao now understands why so many groups of people failed to win this nightmare mission before, and instead died here one after another.

Even with elite teammates like Xiang Fengchen, Nalan Shuo, and Jiang Qingluan here, he doesn't have much confidence that he can survive now. This is not to belittle oneself, but an objective understanding of reality. After all, even veteran players like Xiang Fengchen were rare just now. Lost his temper.

"Mr. Xiang, it's useless to complain now. Even if we die, we must die clearly. Besides,

We still have reinforcements. Yang Xiao suddenly said.

"Reinforcement?" Xiang Fengchen turned to look at him.

"That old beggar." Yang Xiao stretched out his hand and made a circle, "The one who gave the tortoise shell to the Ark God."

Hearing this, Xiang Fengchen nodded repeatedly, his expression visibly restored, "Yes, you are right.

I can't do it, and maybe that senior can't do it either. Since this person can get the turtle shell, his methods are naturally better than mine. We haven't lost yet, and we still have a chance! "

"Yes, so our top priority now is to use the tortoise shell to divine the whereabouts of the senior in the third cloudy day. With all due respect, if we can find the senior before the Earl's Mansion, we still have a chance. If it's too late, I'm afraid there will be no way to save the day." Yang Xiao's voice was low and hoarse, but every word fell clearly on everyone's ears.

Yang Xiao also knew the reason why the previous senior refused to come forward to meet him. The reason why he hid the information in the turtle shell was also a test for people like him. After all, if he didn't even know how to use the turtle shell, how could he speak up and meet him? It is of no use, on the contrary, it will only do bad things.

In addition, the first time he only gave false information, but the senior hid in the dark and observed. This was also to test them. After all, he didn't know whether his group would betray him and bring people from the Earl's Palace to arrest him. he.

The situation was extremely urgent, Yang Xiao believed that such a test would be enough once, and the next time would be when they met.

And he firmly believed that this senior must have a way to break the situation.

It was getting late, so the group of people hurried back. After all, they had to go to the incense and candle shop to pick up the things they had agreed upon. When they arrived, the shopkeeper was waiting in person. When he saw someone coming, he closed the door first and then led the four of them. When we arrived at the back hall, we came to a small dark room where incense and candles were stored. The shopkeeper walked in alone and walked out after a while carrying two large bags.

Everything was wrapped in oil paper, and Xiang Fengchen was unambiguous. He opened it for inspection on the spot. There was a bundle of candles and a bundle of incense in one package, but strangely, the candles were white, but the incense was faintly red. Some, you can smell a strange smell that is vague and non-existent.

Another large bag was full of square-hole paper money, neatly folded and looking very new. "Dear guest, I made these by myself. Although the time was a little rushed and the time was a little off, it is absolutely not the same." Having seen the light, he is very angry."

Xiang Fengchen is an old man, and he is said to be incompetent in these deadly jobs. He squatted down, randomly took out a few paper money from his bag, squeezed it with his hands, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and then He stood up and nodded to express his satisfaction.

"Yes, it's what I want." Xiang Fengchen took out a large ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to the old shopkeeper.

Yang Xiao noticed that this ingot of silver was a whole ingot, and there was official silver with the seal of the Earl's Mansion underneath.

As expected, the old shopkeeper dared not accept the ingot of official silver. Seeing this, Xiang Fengchen forced the silver ingot into the old shopkeeper's hand. He took the opportunity to hold the old shopkeeper's hand. His palm was blocked, and the old shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed. , became panicked.

"With such a strong yin energy in your hands, I guess you are also involved in the business of tearing down graves and exterminating families, right?" Xiang Fengchen smiled half-smilingly, and had such a strong aura that the old shopkeeper didn't dare to raise his head just with his eyes.

"You...respected guests are joking, craftsmen, barely...hardly asking for food." The old shopkeeper's face was uglier than crying.

"Since you are a craftsman, you must understand the rules. There is no price for Yin Xing, it is whatever you say. I brought the silver, what do you mean if you don't accept it?"

"You think the Earl's Mansion's money is dirty?" Xiang Fengchen sneered.

This sentence shocked the old shopkeeper, and he said in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare. The Earl's Mansion is famous for its charity. Being able to do things for the Earl's Mansion is a blessing that has been cultivated in the next few lives. How can I dare to ask for compensation? ?”

"If you think highly of the Earl's Mansion, accept the silver ingot. I don't have any loose silver on me today. In three days, bring the silver ingot to the back door of the Earl's Mansion, knock on the door and sign up, and I will pay you the remaining silver." Xiang Fengchen The words are clear.

Yang Xiao understood this and couldn't help but sigh that Xiang Fengchen is indeed an old Jianghu. He knows the dangers in this industry. This old shopkeeper is not simple. He dares to open a shop here and do shady business. He must have some skills. He is like this The group may not be able to hide it from him.

Once this person becomes suspicious and asks someone to go to the Earl's Mansion to inquire, it will definitely cause trouble for them. With Xiang Fengchen's threats, I dare not say that he can completely shush the old shopkeeper, but as long as he can shush him for three days, it will be enough. After all, by then, the mission would have been over long ago.

It is the end in the true sense, either they leave alive or the whole army is annihilated.
