Chapter 433 Flaw
Zhang Lingyu skillfully picked up a piece of yellow paper with the tip of his sword, silently chanted a spell, and shook his wrist lightly, and the yellow paper ignited without fire. After completing this ritual, he seemed to be relieved.
Then, he picked up the red rope and began to carefully wrap it around the four bronze statues. This was the last step to activate the magic circle. After completing it, he would be able to restore the damaged Pu Shui water dragon vein.
However, Zhang Lingyu did not notice that on the rooftop of a tall building not far away, a man in black was staring at him quietly with a disdainful smile on his lips.
The man in black slowly stretched out his right hand, and his slender fingers formed a strange handprint. Then, he pulled back his hand and pulled out a red thread from the stamen of the chrysanthemum in his hand.
"Break!" A strange voice of unknown gender was heard. Although the voice was weak, it carried an inexplicable majesty.
As the sound fell, the red rope that Zhang Lingyu was connecting to the bronze statue suddenly broke inexplicably. The Qinglong bronze statue even fell to the ground, and Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but frowned.
He looked around keenly, but did not find anything unusual. However, the sudden break of the red rope was obviously not a good sign, and Zhang Lingyu felt uneasy.
With doubts, Zhang Lingyu tried to connect the red rope again. However, every time when it was about to connect to the last Xuanwu statue, the red rope would inexplicably break.
It’s like there is an invisible person who is always waiting by the side, ready to cut the red thread at the critical moment.
Zhang Lingyu was sure that someone was behind this, so he quickly picked up the two broken ends of the red thread with his sword fingers and put his hands together to form a strange handprint.
The compass on his waist automatically fell down, and Zhang Lingyu kicked it in front of him. Then, without hesitation, he pressed the two red lines at the center of the compass at the same time.
"Whoosh..." A blue flame suddenly rose from the ends of the two broken red lines. The flame spread rapidly but did not damage the red line in Zhang Lingyu's hand.
Strangely, the chrysanthemum in the hand of the man in black standing on the roof suddenly caught fire. The man in black was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, pulled out a strand of hair, wrapped it around his finger through a strange handprint, and then pressed hard towards the center of the chrysanthemum.
"Boom!" The blue flame that was originally stable on the red line suddenly surged and headed straight for Zhang Lingyu.
Zhang Lingyu reacted quickly, stomped his foot on the ground, picked up the compass, and quickly turned his wrist. The surging flames quickly disappeared without a trace after touching the compass.
Zhang Lingyu seemed to be certain of something, and he raised his voice and shouted to the surroundings: "Who is sneaking around and dares to hinder the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau from handling the case?"
As he said that, he kicked the stone qilin fiercely. In an instant, the stone qilin that needed a crane to move was spinning rapidly because of Zhang Lingyu's kick. Soon, both stone qilins stopped spinning and headed in one direction.
Zhang Lingyu looked in the direction that Shi Qilin was pointing, and clearly saw the figure in black on the roof, but he pretended not to see it and looked away. After a moment, he even breathed a sigh of relief, as if he didn't take it to heart.
The man in black on the roof also breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself, "It's really hard to deal with..." The voice still couldn't be told whether it was a man or a woman.
A gust of wind blew by, and the man in black disappeared, as if he had never appeared. Only the chrysanthemum petals falling all over the sky proved that everything that had just happened was real.
Zhang Lingyu raised his head calmly and looked at the rooftop again. After making sure that the man in black had disappeared, he smiled meaningfully.
Then, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number, saying simply, "He's gone, it's up to you guys..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lingyu quickly pointed the two stone Qilins towards Pu Shui again. Under his spells, the eyes of the four bronze statues gradually began to glow.
……
On the other side, in an unknown alley, a man in black was walking very fast, but he made no sound at all.
However, as they walked, the man in black suddenly stopped. Under the dim street light not far away, a sturdy man was leaning against the wall, fiddling with three copper coins in his hand...
The man in black suddenly stopped and hid in the darkness. Only his evil eyes stared vigilantly at the fat man under the street light.
The light from the street lamps was like an invisible boundary, covering the fat man in light and the man in black in darkness.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?" The fat man looked at the man in black with amusement, and kept throwing and catching the three copper coins in his hand.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Do you really think that our Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau can't find you?"
Hearing the words "Nine-door Feng Shui Bureau", the man in black's eyes flashed with surprise. He suddenly lifted up his black cloak to block the fat man's sight, and turned to escape.
However, when he turned around, he found that someone had appeared behind him. The person was holding a peach wood sword and wearing a green Taoist robe. It was Taoist Qingfeng.
"Who are you?" Taoist Qingfeng raised the peach wood sword and pointed it at the man in black.
The man in black knew that it would be difficult for him to escape, so he drooped his eyes and seemed to reveal a sneer of disdain under his veil.
Then, he took out the chrysanthemum again and gently plucked off a petal. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then he threw the petal straight at Taoist Qingfeng like a sharp blade.
Taoist Qingfeng had been prepared for this. He quickly grasped the peach wood sword and chanted: "Heaven and earth, the six Dings and six Jias, listen to my command and obey it immediately!"
In an instant, the peach wood sword glowed with golden light, and Taoist Qingfeng slashed at the petals with his sword.
"boom!"
The seemingly harmless petals suddenly exploded, emitting a light pink smoke.
Taoist Qingfeng sensed something was wrong and immediately held his breath, leaped forward, and stabbed the man in black with the peach wood sword in his hand.
"Om..."
But the next moment, Taoist Qingfeng frowned, and his peach wood sword accurately pierced the black-clothed man's throat.
Such an attack, coupled with the spell on the peach wood sword, would be difficult for anyone to resist.
However, the man in black did not move at all, and took on Taoist Qingfeng's attack with just his throat.
Taoist Qingfeng was very surprised. At this moment, the fat man fell from the sky and hit the man in black hard on the head with a punch.
"boom!"
The powerful force directly shattered the cloak of the man in black, but the next scene made the fat man and Taoist Qingfeng open their eyes wide.
Under the black clothes was a man with pale skin, but it was not the normal white, but the bluish-white color that was unique to the dead.
Moreover, his upper body was naked and covered with corpse spots.
Before the two men could react, the motionless man suddenly launched a fierce attack.
But Taoist Qingfeng soon discovered something was wrong. The man's movements were very stiff, and many of them were obviously controlled by some force.
The fat man used the Three-Coin Destiny Technique to fight with the man. The man was obviously no match for the fat man and was hit several times in a short period of time.
But he seemed to feel no pain. He didn't dodge or evade. Instead, he fought even harder.
Taoist Qingfeng did not rush forward to help, but observed the strange man vigilantly.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the man's mouth was tightly closed, as if he was holding something.
Seeing this, Taoist Qingfeng jumped up and landed lightly between the fat man and the man. He pushed the fat man away and reminded him:
"Save your energy, leave him to me. This is a dead body, and someone is controlling it!"
The fat man frowned in surprise when he heard this.
Before he could say anything, Taoist Qingfeng had already taken out a talisman, muttered something, and then stuck the talisman on the tip of the peach wood sword.
"amnesty!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Qingfeng suddenly thrust the peach wood sword into the man's forehead. Instantly, the man's eyes widened as if he was hit by a powerful force. At the same time, his tightly closed mouth opened, revealing something inside - a chrysanthemum petal.
"call……"
Before Taoist Qingfeng and the fat man could check carefully, the petals suddenly caught fire and the man was engulfed in the flames.
"Hey……"
The fat man was extremely anxious and wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Taoist Qingfeng.
"Just...just burned like that?" The fat man looked at Taoist Qingfeng in surprise.
Taoist Qingfeng stared at the man in the fire and said coldly: "No matter who you are or where you hide, I will find you even if I have to dig three feet deep!"
The man was clearly a corpse, but at this moment he showed a stiff smile, which was undoubtedly a provocation.
Soon, in the raging fire, the man was burned into a pile of charcoal, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.
The fat man looked at Taoist Qingfeng in astonishment: "Master, is that man really a corpse?"
Taoist Qingfeng nodded: "Otherwise, who do you think can stay still in the fire without making any sound?"
"So, someone is controlling this corpse to wander around in the city of Mu?" The fat man widened his eyes in surprise, and then said thoughtfully,
"So the person controlling the corpse must be nearby. Otherwise, how did this person get in touch with the corpse?"
Taoist Qingfeng agreed with the fat man's analysis and added:
"I haven't received any news about the missing body yet, which means that this body was probably prepared in advance. First, there was the chrysanthemum in his hand, and then there were the chrysanthemum petals in his mouth. What kind of evil opponent is this!"
At this moment, Wang Cheng's voice came from their headsets:
"Just now, there was an abnormal Feng Shui fluctuation in the east. Someone was using Feng Shui to cast a spell. The person we are looking for should be in that direction, but I don't recommend going over there now..."
Wang Cheng, who was speaking, was sitting cross-legged on the roof of a building not far away, with a huge Bagua plate under him.
The Bagua plate was flickering with a light blue light, which was exactly the Fenghou Qimen that Wang Cheng learned from Huang Miao.
Although it is just the basics for entry, it has benefited Wang Cheng a lot.
The reason why he did not join the battle was because the three of them had already made a plan.
Including Wu Tianzhen, after discovering that someone was secretly causing trouble, he promptly notified Wang Cheng and others.
Because of this, they were able to appear in time at the place where the men in black evacuated.
Afterwards, Wang Cheng quietly sensed the changes in the atmosphere around him and unexpectedly discovered the Feng Shui fluctuations.
This is a bit odd, but worth investigating further...
However, after hearing what Wang Cheng said, the impatient fat man couldn't sit still any longer:
"Since we have already locked on to the east, what are we waiting for? Let's investigate immediately! Catching the mastermind behind this will eliminate many hidden dangers!"
"no!"
This time, Taoist Qingfeng stood beside Wang Cheng. He turned to the fat man and said earnestly:
"No matter who is behind this, the means he uses are extremely evil. We need to report to Director Huang first and see if Director Huang can provide us with some valuable clues.
Only by understanding the enemy can we be invincible in every battle. If we act rashly now, we will only be in a passive position!"
A breeze blew, and Wang Cheng landed lightly from not far away and nodded to the fat man:
"Master Qingfeng is right. Let's go back first."
Although the fat man was extremely anxious, he was not a reckless person. After hearing this, he finally nodded. The three of them walked out of the dark alley and headed east.
……
At the same time, in an extremely remote abandoned factory area...
This was once an important industrial area of Mo City. After the renovation, large factories moved out one after another.
The prosperity of the past is no longer there, and even the weeds on the ground are taller than people.
This area has low economic value and is considered part of the slums of the city of Mu City. Even the poor are unwilling to set foot here.
Because of this, even though there was a faint light flickering in the abandoned factory, no one paid attention.
Going deeper into the factory, we found the source of the fire, which was a room filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
The fire came from two candles, in front of which was a porcelain statue of a little girl.
This female doll is wearing a red kimono. Although she has a baby face, she looks creepy.
In front of the porcelain statue stood a woman who was also wearing a kimono, but her clothes were disheveled.
In this gloomy place, in front of the enshrined porcelain statue, the two men had no scruples at all.
The woman was heavily made-up and there was an evil look in her eyes.
She gently stroked the man's head and whispered softly, her voice full of charm:
"Koizumi-kun, Feng Shui masters have appeared in the city of Mo, and they all seem to be from the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau. Have you made any progress in your investigation?"
The man still buried his head in the woman's arms. A dull voice came from him. Like the woman, he spoke in Dongdao dialect:
"My Lord, I am trying, but it is difficult..."
"asshole!"
The woman suddenly pushed the man away and looked down at him, the tenderness she had just shown was gone:
"We have been working hard to implement the arrangements made by that lord. Even His Majesty has great respect for that lord.
We followed the instructions of that adult and set up a Feng Shui layout in the city of Mo.
Now is the time when the Feng Shui Bureau plays a key role and must not be destroyed by anyone.
But you don't even have information about the enemy.
Koizumi, you disappoint me!"
The man showed a morbid fear on his face, then he knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Please forgive me, give me some more time, I will definitely find out the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau as soon as possible!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the woman suddenly laughed.
Her kimono had slipped off her shoulders, but she didn't seem to mind.
She stood up slowly, her feet painted with red nail polish lightly stepping on the ground, every move exuding evil charm.
The woman turned her wrist, and a chrysanthemum appeared on her hand without her noticing.
She plucked off a petal, but this action was extremely terrifying in the eyes of the man.
