My understanding is incredible: I gained enlightenment and immortality in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom

Just as Tian Siyao was about to ask other villagers, an old man cautiously walked over.

His face was pale and filled with fear.

"Are you asking about mysterious deaths?" he asked.

"Yes, do you have any leads?" Tian Siyao replied quickly.

The old man looked around and said in a low voice, "When these bodies were found, they were all holding a strange black talisman in their hands."

"That talisman seems to have some kind of power that can drive people to commit self-harm."

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Tian Siyao, Guiyue, and the villagers.

This discovery increases their understanding of black matter and the forces hidden behind it.

Guiyue took a deep breath: "It seems we need to be even more careful."

"If we can obtain these talismans and decipher them, perhaps we can find a way to prevent this from happening again."

Tian Siyao nodded.

Tian Siyao breathed a sigh of relief: "We will continue our investigation."

The villagers nodded in support, despite their fear and unease.

But they believed that Tian Siyao and the others could find a solution. Inside the Lianhua Village council hall, Tian Siyao sat with villagers Liu Hanyu, Yao Tingting, Wei Ming, and others, earnestly discussing how to resolve this strange occurrence.

Tian Siyao frowned, her heart filled with a sense of urgency and challenge.

The problems we encountered this time were more complex than those in the past.

Liu Hanyu said in a deep voice, "We need to find those who possess the black talismans and understand how they control others."

Yao Tingting added, "Perhaps we should try to trace the origin of the talismans." After thinking for a moment, Wei Ming suggested, "We can start with ancient tombs, where we might find clues about these black talismans and the power behind them."

After listening to everyone's suggestions, Tian Siyao nodded and looked at them: "Your suggestions are all very good, and we definitely have to go to the ancient tomb."

Everyone nodded silently.

Tian Siyao looked around, trying to stay focused.

She needs to focus on thinking of ways to solve the problem.

Liu Hanyu broke the silence: "We can find some well-known experts in government decryption in nearby cities."

“Or we could seek help from some sorcerers who know about spells,” Yao Tingting quickly added. “Yes! They might have some alternatives or ways to weaken these black spells.”

Wei Ming nodded in agreement: "Let's get moving quickly and not waste any time."

After discussing the specific plan, everyone left the council hall to prepare for action.

the next day.

Guiyue led Tian Siyao to the mountains near Lotus Village, where a mysterious wizard was hidden.

Tian Siyao hoped that the wizard could give them the answer and unravel the mystery of Lotus Village.

Guiyue gently knocked on a hidden stone door in the mountains.

The door slowly opened, revealing a dark and damp space.

Upon entering, they saw a figure in black robes standing there.

The man in the black robe was tall and slender, his face covered except for a pair of bright and sharp eyes.

He is the sorcerer Zhang Jiang.

The wizard Zhang Jiang nodded slightly to Tian Siyao and beckoned her to sit down.

Tian Siyao sat beside her, her face showing curiosity and anticipation.

She eagerly asked Zhang Jiang, "Do you know anything about ancient tomb spirits, mausoleums, and black substances?"

Have you heard of any unknown forces that might be involved in this incident?

Zhang Jiang looked at Tian Siyao, seemingly examining her heart. After a moment, he calmly said, "The time of death in Lotus Village is indeed related to a mysterious force, originating from the tomb in the ancient cemetery."

“These tombs are guarded by evil spirits, who are the main cause of the black substance.”

As Tian Siyao listened to Zhang Jiang's words, she felt a jolt in her heart; it was indeed related to the ancient tomb.

She pressed on, "So, do you know of any unknown forces that might be involved?"

Zhang Jiang revealed a mysterious smile: "The black substance that appeared in Lotus Village was not only caused by evil spirits."

“There are also some unknown forces involved, which may come from forbidden areas or other behind-the-scenes forces hidden around us.”

"These forces control the behavior of the black matter."

Upon hearing this, Tian Siyao frowned slightly, realizing that things were far more complicated than she had imagined.

She must find these unknown forces as soon as possible and understand the motivations behind them.

"Then, Wizard, could you please help us unravel this mystery?" Tian Siyao asked expectantly.

Zhang Jiang slowly shook his head: "The origin of the black substance in Lotus Village is quite complicated. I can only give you some suggestions and guidance."

"To solve this problem, you need to leverage the knowledge and terminology declassified by the authorities."

Tian Siyao secretly rejoiced that they already had professional knowledge in this area and was grateful to the wizard Zhang Jiang for providing valuable clues.

After calming herself down, Tian Siyao walked out of the dark space and looked up at the dappled sunlight. A sense of conviction welled up in her heart.

She smiled slightly at the wizard Zhang Jiang and said, "Thank you, wizard."

"We will continue to move forward according to your advice."

Wizard Zhang Jiang nodded silently and saw Tian Siyao and Guiyue off.

a few days later.

Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue, along with the villagers, entered the ancient tomb again. Tian Siyao, who was inside, felt a sinister atmosphere wash over her.

She noticed that the fear on the villagers' faces was even more pronounced.

They clutched their clothes tightly, following unsteadily behind Tian Siyao and Qin Miyue.

The ancient tomb was dark and damp, and rows of mausoleums came into view.

Tian Siyao carefully examined every detail in the ancient tomb, her attention focused and sharp.

She tried to find clues related to the incident by observing the layout and remains in the ancient tomb.

"There are obvious traces of black substance in this tomb, it seems that evil spirits once roamed here," Qin Miyue said to Tian Siyao, pointing to a tomb.

Tian Siyao carefully observed the symbols and patterns densely surrounding the tomb, trying to find any clues related to the incident.

New conjectures began to emerge in my mind regarding the conditions under which black substances form.

"Based on my previous research on ancient tombs and black matter, the evil spirits released from these ancient tombs are actually unable to directly threaten humans after leaving the tombs."

"This makes me start to suspect whether there are unknown forces outside the ancient tomb involved," Tian Siyao whispered to Qin Miyue.

After listening, Qin Miyue frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Tian Siyao continued climbing the steps and entered another ancient tomb.

The interior of the tomb was simply furnished, and the remaining black substances were even more concentrated.

She noticed a strange aura emanating from the ancient tomb, as if some force was secretly manipulating the black substance.

"This feels like the aura produced by a secret technique! Perhaps someone is using forbidden power to control the black substance," Tian Siyao speculated.

She couldn't help but start thinking about the unknown forces hidden around us.

Perhaps this incident is connected to them. They explored the ancient tomb further and, realizing the villagers were unwell, decided to leave. (End of Chapter)
