"What the hell is going on in this holiday resort?"
The young man whom Xie Xuanzhong called Mr. Zou frowned and asked as soon as he saw Xie Xuanzhong, "Why couldn't I drive out just now? What did you do on the road?!"
Zou Mingyuan is not a person who believes in metaphysics. In his opinion, many so-called supernatural events are just clumsy designs made by some people to attract attention.
The old man in the family is on good terms with the Ji family. He has been back from studying abroad for a long time, and his grandfather always gets together with that old man Ji to whisper about Master Rong Tian, and how they must invite the other party to their home if they have the chance.
Zou Mingyuan just found it funny when he heard it.
They are just more sophisticated liars. As these two old men get older, they become more superstitious.
Shaking his head secretly, Zou Mingyuan didn't say much in front of his grandfather. He just didn't care much about what his grandfather said about giving him the opportunity to follow the Xu family to visit Master Rong Tian's family.
After all, he is still young and has just returned from studying abroad. During this period of time, he has been familiarizing himself with the business processes of his own company and is not particularly busy.
The reason I came to the holiday villa this time was because I heard some young men from wealthy families say at a party that this holiday villa was a bit weird and they advised everyone not to come here easily.
He was young and full of energy, and there was also someone at the party who didn't get along with him and was mocking him. Zou Mingyuan couldn't stand the provocation for a moment. In addition, he also had a little secret curiosity in his heart, so he reluctantly agreed to come to the holiday villa to find out what was going on.
However, before he came here, many of the children from aristocratic families who were on good terms with him advised him not to act on impulse, but Zou Mingyuan never really believed in such advice, and seeing this, he became even more eager to try.
One of the young masters of the Xu family, seeing that he couldn't stop him, sighed and handed over a small sachet he was carrying.
Xu Yizi: "After all, we are cousins. You can take this."
When he looked at Zou Mingyuan now, it was as if he was looking at himself not long ago who had never seen the world, and he felt an inexplicable pity in his heart.
As soon as Zou Mingyuan saw the small sachet, he guessed what it was. He frowned and wanted to refuse it, but he and Xu Yizi were really good friends before he went abroad. After hesitating for a moment, he put it in his pocket.
However, Zou Mingyuan still said: "Yizhi, why do you believe this? You didn't even go to temples before."
Xu Yizi smiled.
Although there was nothing that could not be said to others about Bai Peilan, it was not pleasant to hear. Xu Yizi patted Zou Mingyuan on the shoulder and sighed slowly, "One day you will understand."
Zou Mingyuan: “?”
Although he didn't take it seriously at the time, before leaving, Zou Mingyuan somehow took the small magic bag given to him by Xu Yizi.
It was also because of this secret bag that when Zou Mingyuan was driving down the mountain just now, he saw a straight road ahead, but when he was about to drive along this road, he felt a burning sensation in his pocket.
Subconsciously stepping on the brakes, Zou Mingyuan searched his pockets and when he stretched out his hand, an exquisite little sachet lay in his palm, with a faint warmth coming from it.
With his mind somewhat tense, Zou Mingyuan raised his head again and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air -
There is no straight road ahead!
A circle of vertical wooden fences was loosely placed around a cliff, providing almost no protection.
If his car had been a little faster, or if he hadn't stepped on the brakes at the end, his fate would have been...
Taking a deep breath, Zou Mingyuan was frightened but still had some doubts in his heart.
His fingers lightly touched the brocade bag, and it felt thin and slightly hard, like the texture of folded paper.
Zou Mingyuan could guess what the paper was. He looked deeply into his palm for a while, and this time, he chose to put the small sachet away carefully.
Then he restarted the car and drove back to the holiday villa following the traces he had just taken down the mountain.
When Zou Mingyuan found the manager to report the incident, he was cautious and did not tell anyone about the strange thing he encountered on the road.
Facing Xie Xuanzhong at this moment, he also gritted his teeth and did not reveal the existence of the small secret bag.
Xie Xuanzhong carefully observed his expression and didn't see anything wrong. He just thought that he was really lucky as he was able to return to the villa smoothly.
But even if it comes back, it won’t make any difference. In the end, it will still be nutrients.
With a slight smile, Xie Xuanzhong comforted him, "Didn't the weather forecast say yesterday that there would be heavy fog in the suburbs of Beijing today? The fog is so thick outside now that it's easy to lose your way when going down the mountain. Why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while, Mr. Zou? We'll let you know when the fog clears."
His words were quite tactful, and the manager also chimed in, "Besides, the masquerade will start in a few hours, why don't you stay and join in, Mr. Zou? We have also specially invited famous dancers from Beijing to warm up the audience."
Yes, masquerade. Zou Mingyuan grasped this keyword in an instant.
When he came to the holiday villa, he saw that the villa seemed to be planning some kind of event.
This masquerade ball happens to be the finale of the last day. I heard that for this ball, the resort will also open the newly built castle that has not been used before, in an effort to leave the best impression on the guests who come to vacation.
But at this time, Zou Mingyuan had already had a lot of doubts because of his previous trip down the mountain, and he was also very wary of this masquerade ball.
Having made up his mind secretly, Zou Mingyuan pretended to be convinced by Xie Xuanzhong. After muttering a few words, he reluctantly got up and went back to his room.
Xie Xuanzhong watched his figure disappear at the elevator corridor entrance before he breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to rub his brows.
Now...it all depends on how the "ball" is prepared.
It was nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sounds of some guests waking up from their naps could be heard upstairs.
The service staff of the villa diligently provides the ultimate service to all guests. Except for the thick fog outside that almost covers the entire villa, everything seems so beautiful and comfortable.
While Xie Xuanzhong and others were preparing for the "masquerade ball" in the evening, Rong Jing and others at the foot of the mountain were also not idle.
There are currently about a hundred people in the holiday villa, including the staff. Master Long Tianshi and others don't know whether there are other people detained in the villa besides this group of people.
So before taking action, you must make adequate preparations.
Rong Jing was invited here this time as a strong backup.
It is not impossible to ask him to take direct action, but the Heavenly Masters and other staff in the special department need training and growth, so during the preparation, the Heavenly Masters tacitly did not let Rong Jing do anything more.
But since Rong Jing is here, we will still help where necessary.
The fog outside seemed to be getting thicker.
When ordinary people saw this scene, they would only think that the climate in the mountains was indeed changeable. But in the eyes of the Heavenly Masters, they could see that the thick fog was filled with layers upon layers of sinister energy.
It's like water pressing down on people so hard that they can't breathe.
What on earth did Xie Xuanzhong and the others do in the villa to cause such a large area of negative energy to spread?
The sense of urgency in their hearts became even stronger. Considering that the ordinary people still staying in the villa have been exposed to a large amount of Yin energy and their bodies will inevitably become weak, when everyone set out, they planned to make more talismans or simple magical tools to suppress the Yin energy, so as to be fully prepared for the situation they will encounter next.
Seeing this, Rong Jing also helped draw some -
This time he didn't need to show every step clearly to everyone, so the drawing speed was incredibly fast.
Miaoyin's understanding of the art of talismans has surpassed most people. After being instructed by Rong Jing during the last lecture, her speed in drawing talismans has been much faster than others.
But even for her, the speed of drawing talismans at this moment was more than half slower than Rong Jing!
Not only was Rong Jing's speed in drawing talismans incredibly fast, but the quality of the talismans he drew was also extremely exquisite, leaving nothing to be desired.
Everyone looked at Rong Jing with bated breath in shock and respect, and found that he was holding the stack of talismans he had just drawn with a slightly frown on his face, as if he was not very satisfied -
He still felt dissatisfied!
Miaoyin held the talisman she had drawn and doubted her life for a moment: "..."
Who is she, where is she, is she really suitable to be a heavenly master?
Master Rong was attacking others without realizing it. He drew about fifty Zhen Yin Talismans and after using up all the yellow paper in front of him, he casually put down the Huzhou pen stained with cinnabar.
"It's about time."
As dusk fell, the fog on the mountain became thicker and thicker.
Master Yuankong looked at the sky outside and spoke slowly, chanting the Buddha's name again: "Amitabha."
I just hope that everything they do is still in time.
The soldiers who followed had already checked and cleared the obstacles at the foot of the mountain. Although Xie Xuanzhong was sometimes a bit reckless, he was surprisingly cautious when facing this holiday villa.
There are extremely vicious traps lurking in the dense woods around. If someone wants to rely on his familiarity with the terrain to bypass the only road through the dense woods and go up the mountain, he will definitely suffer a great loss.
In addition to the design in the dense forest, the only road leading to the holiday villa on the mountain is also set up with a cursed formation.
The Heavenly Masters went up the mountain by car, and after only a few hundred meters, they encountered two small formations that had been triggered.
One of the heavenly masters who specialized in formations frowned fiercely, got off the car and carefully destroyed all the formations.
But at the same time, he would inevitably touch the core of the formation.
A light breath, not much different from the other Yin Qi, gently passed over the formation. Just as it was about to merge into the Yin Qi that filled the mountains and fields and transmit the recorded information back to the evil ghost, it was casually stopped by an extremely white and slender hand.
Rong Jing raised his eyes and lightly pressed with his fingertips. The scream of fear was sharp and short, but in an instant, the little evil spirit was annihilated by Rong Jing's fingertips.
The formation master was still in shock: "Fortunately, Master Rong was here..."
Otherwise, allowing this evil spirit to pass their message back would be disadvantageous to them.
Rong Jing shook his head upon hearing this and didn't say anything more.
The winding mountain road was a bit slippery due to the thick fog.
No one spoke in the car for a while, and the atmosphere around was suddenly quiet and a little eerie.
The guests of this holiday villa are mostly wealthy and idle people, so the design of the entire villa is extremely grand and exquisite.
Dense forests in the distant mountains, and faint fragrance of flowers.
The wild roses covered the wooden railings, and the pink petals looked fragile and tender in the mist.
There was no one in the security booth in front of the villa. When they detected a car approaching, the telescopic pole was gently raised.
The driver in the driving seat paused, then grasped the steering wheel more carefully.
Long Tianshi's beautiful eyebrows had already been knitted together. She felt the strangely quiet atmosphere around her, and the poisonous insects in her body became active alertly.
"Turn left."
The driver was about to continue driving forward when Rong Jing, who was sitting in the back seat, opened his eyes and suddenly said.
The car slowly drove to the left, and no one raised any objection to Rong Jing's decision.
After driving for about two minutes, Rong Jing finally shouted to stop.
That was the European-style castle, and soft dance music was coming from inside.
But before they got out of the car and entered the door, the yin energy that filled the surroundings gathered together. In just a moment, it formed an extremely large formation -
The irrational ghost suddenly appeared, and its sharp scream almost ruptured the eardrums.
Master Long Tianshi and the others subconsciously covered their ears with spiritual power. However, just as they got rid of the influence of the ghost howl, when the cold wind blew past, another illusion array attacked!
The other party has also made sufficient preparations!
The yin energy pressed down like water, and black runes, like chains used by the underworld to capture evil spirits, rushed towards the heavenly masters dully and quickly.
The Heavenly Masters who were originally standing together had to scatter in order to avoid the attack of the extremely sharp chain.
However, the other party had exactly this in mind. As soon as Yuankong Tianshi dodged, he thought to himself that something was wrong. He lowered his eyes and stood in place, reciting scriptures. A faint Buddhist light emanated from his body, which purified a lot of the negative energy around him.
But his sudden awakening just now also gave the illusion array an opportunity to take advantage.
Countless Asuras and evil spirits descended into his consciousness and fought with the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
Master Yuankong is, after all, an expert in Buddhism. After the illusion occupied his consciousness for a moment, he quickly calmed his mind, lowered his eyes and quickly recited Buddhist verses. With a sweep of his rosary, Master Yuankong directly repelled a ghost that intended to launch a sneak attack!
Monks are compassionate, but there are also Vajra protectors who hold staffs to exterminate evil.
The more real the illusion deep in his consciousness was, the more firmly Master Yuankong held the rosary and staff in his hands.
Everything is for training the mind. As long as your mind is firm enough, the evil spirits and monsters that can only use evil tricks will naturally have nowhere to hide.
However, not every Heavenly Master present had been immersed in Buddhism for as long as Master Yuankong, so when their true minds showed a momentary fluctuation, the illusion array mixed with ghostly energy took advantage of the opportunity and swooped in, confusing their consciousness.
He was a beat slow in taking out the talisman, and seeing that the ghost was about to pull off the Taoist priest's head, Rong Jing frowned and casually threw out a ghost-killing talisman.
The tremendous power of the talisman burst out in an instant, and as soon as the ghost-serving hand touched the neck of the heavenly master, its figure was wiped out by the vast power of the talisman.
How domineering! And how terrifying!
Even though he had lost most of his consciousness, the ghost servant who was just following his master's orders and risking his life to stop the heavenly masters couldn't help but slow down his attack for a moment when he saw this.
It was because of this slight flaw that the other Heavenly Masters who were delayed by the illusion array finally regained some consciousness. They gritted their teeth and used all their skills to repel many of the surrounding ghost servants.
But the illusion array hidden in the big array is still a trouble.
The formation master was staring at the runes that were constantly changing and flying through the air with sweat on his forehead, but he did not dare to have too much emotional fluctuation.
However, his cultivation was still somewhat insufficient, and the settings of the two formations were too complex and sophisticated. The Formation Master could vaguely feel that the two formations were connected to each other, but he could not find the connecting point.
Moreover, the cores of these two formations were hidden very deeply. The formation master tried his best to restore the form of the entire formation in his mind, but cold sweat dripped from his head. The ghost servant once again absorbed the evil energy in the formation to recover strength and attack, but he still couldn't find the core.
Could it be that they really only rely on Rong Jing?
The formation master was almost in despair, but the next second, an extremely clear and pleasant voice sounded in his ears.
"From Kan, start with three, and use Kun to determine Qian."
The directions of the Eight Trigrams were memorized as early as when one entered the Tao, and the Heavenly Master who practiced the art of formations was even more familiar with it.
The moment he heard Rong Jing's voice, the formation master followed the formula he said and took three steps towards the Kan position. Then he raised his head and quickly determined the Kun position.
Once the Kun position is found, the Qian position referred to by the entire formation will naturally not be difficult to find.
Qian and Kun complement each other. The formation set up by the opponent is indeed very mysterious, but no matter how things change, it is difficult to deviate from the essence. After finding the position of Qian and Kun, the approximate location of the entire formation also appeared in the mind of the formation master.
Subconsciously he thanked Rong Jing, then took out an iron sword that looked like a pen but wasn't a pen, and stabbed it directly at the place where the Yin energy was weakest.
The entire formation suddenly roared, thousands of ghosts cried together, there was a bloody river of Shura, graceful singing and dancing, and enchanting beauties.
As if it was the last struggle before collapse, the scene in the illusion became more and more realistic.
However, Rong Jing was born with psychic powers and a clear mind, so he was not afraid of the opponent's methods at all.
Seeing that the other Heavenly Masters seemed to have reached their limits, Rong Jing raised his fingertips in the air, and a light golden spiritual pen appeared in his hand.
Complex runes poured out in an instant, flying in the sky like ethereal butterflies.
The rune follows the direction of the mind. The gloomy and almost suffocating Yin Qi dissipated silently when the seemingly fragile rune fell.
The roaring formation collapsed in an instant. Rong Jing accurately found the core of the two formations, and then raised his hand to destroy them.
The great formation that had made all the Heavenly Masters struggle so hard was as fragile as a toy in his hands, and even those extremely ferocious servant ghosts were wiped out by him with one stroke.
What a light movement, and what a confident posture.
Master Yuankong slowly opened his eyes, looked at the many ghosts who were still roaring unwillingly but could not escape being dissipated, and lowered his head slightly while twirling the Buddhist beads in his hand.
"Amitabha."
The illusion completely dissipated, Rong Jing casually retracted the spirit pen, and then his eyes fell on the European-style castle in front of him.
The two large formations just now, along with the many servant ghosts, were just a means of delaying their progress.
The dance music inside continued, but when Long Tianshi and the others came to their senses, they were shocked to find that -
Why didn't I hear anyone's voice?!
Even though the occasion of a ball was elegant, it was not so quiet that not even the sound of conversation could be heard.
That means...something happened.
The mood tensed up in an instant, Master Long Tianshi and the others looked at each other, and then all looked at Rong Jing.
You can gain experience at any time, but given the current situation, you can't delay any longer.
Rong Jing also took over the leadership very naturally. He looked at the European-style castle in front of him with his amber eyes, and then said, "Let's go."
The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty holiday villa.
It seemed as if all the people in the villa had left, making the usually bustling resort seem a little lonely.
Unexpectedly, they walked in without encountering any hindrance.
There were many exquisite foods placed in the newly decorated hall. Someone dropped a silk handkerchief on the dance floor, and with the sound of soft music, the atmosphere seemed a bit ambiguous.
Xie Xuanzhong watched the actions of Rong Jing and his group through the surveillance camera, listened to the "gurgling" sound of bubbles coming from behind him, and pursed his lips tightly.
Not far from him, a group of exquisitely dressed men and women stood together, staring at the evil spirit in front of them with dull expressions.
A round, light red jade egg was placed on the sandalwood table in the front, and three wisps of green smoke rose up, carrying a hint of seductive breath.
"The time has come." The evil ghost said in a low voice, forming seals with his hands. It was unknown what kind of restriction was placed on the jade egg. An extremely strong suction force suddenly burst out from the jade, almost sucking the human soul into it.
When Xie Xuanzhong felt that breath coming, he couldn't help but hide away.
Although he already knew the evil ghost's methods, every time he saw it doing so, he would feel a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart.
Such means are simply not something that humans can possess. The luck of young men and women was taken away, and their destinies also changed drastically.
However, this alone is not enough. How could the so-called nutrients simply take away their luck?
The people who have been carefully selected by them and stayed until now, in addition to their own luck and destiny, also have the merits of reincarnation carried in their souls.
To transform merits into vows is what the essence needs most.
A smile slowly appeared on his lips. Just as the evil spirit was about to continue his attack, he heard Xie Xuanzhong say anxiously, "They're coming in!"
Tsk, all the plans went very smoothly. The only flaw was that these heavenly masters who only thought about saving the world kept disturbing them again and again.
Slowly frowning, the evil ghost touched the jade egg on the table which was gradually getting darker in color, and thought, since they have come here, I might as well keep it together and use it as nourishment for my body.
When building this holiday villa, the defenses they set up were not as simple as the two large formations just now.
When Rong Jing and others found the entrance and entered the secret passage, they indeed encountered something.
With a light "click" sound, countless black poisonous snakes fell from the wall, hissing and moving their tongues in and out, crawling towards Rong Jing and the others, following the scent.
"...They smell like ghosts."
I don't know who whispered this, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressing.
The same ghostly aura is more or less distributed on these poisonous snakes, which means that the usual food of these poisonous snakes is most likely not mice or rabbits, but humans.
——A living person.
