Chapter 86

"Master Bai, you must know what happened in the Nine Dragon Veins of China a hundred years ago."

Ju An's voice was calm, but Bai Siyu's eyelids twitched.

Although he had guessed it, he still didn't expect to actually hear such a result.

Ju'an spoke quickly, but every word was clear.

"A hundred years ago, society was in turmoil, lives were lost, and the great powers invaded. But what was plundered was not only resources, land, and lives... they also wanted to steal our national destiny! It was dozens of heavenly masters and thousands of magicians who used their lives and longevity to resist their conspiracy and protect the foundation of our dragon veins. Now, after a hundred years of recuperation, our country is prosperous, and they are actually planning to take our dragon veins again!"

"Minister Han has been away for the past few months, reinforcing the Shenji Formation on the Nine Dragon Veins, right?" Bai Siyu said softly, "And last time Comrade Guo Yao was hit by the Nine Mysterious Disk Curse, is it also... related to this matter?"

"......yes."

Bai Siyu frowned, this situation has been going on for more than one or two months.

Ju An continued, "There have been members of the Special Investigation Department patrolling and stationed on the three dragon veins in the capital. The situation has been fine, but the other six have been experiencing frequent problems recently. A month ago, our minister was almost caught in G Province. Later, there were changes in X Province, and it was our minister and Master Liu Tianshi who solved it together. Those wolves are constantly making moves, and according to the information we have obtained through cooperation with the Ministry of National Defense's Investigation Department, the actions are not only from M country, but probably a joint effort of multiple countries..."

"The dragon's flight must have pierced someone's eyes."

Bai Siyu's eyes were deep, this matter had already exceeded his expectations.

"Did Vice Minister Wei and his team get caught?"

"We were able to get in touch yesterday, but today we can't get in touch at all. The life-extending incense in the department is also flickering, so I have no choice but to come to you. Our director and Master Sun Tian are still in Province S, and they are really unable to help."

Bai Siyu opened his backpack and took out a red rope. He bit his finger, pinched the red rope and pulled out seven nine-inch long sections, and quickly weaved out seven mysterious and complex rope talismans.

When the rope talisman was completed, seven hunting winds suddenly swept past!

It's like the sound of a red bird calling in the sky.

Ju An's expression became shocked again.

Hua Jin's expression changed immediately.

He thought he had dabbled in a lot of things, but he had never seen this rope talisman before. It was really hard to tell how skilled Master Bai was.

How many mysterious arts do they know that they are not good at or have never seen before!

"Take one each." Bai Siyu said as he put one on himself. He would give the remaining one to the last member when they arrived in Province Y.

Several people quickly took their own portions and asked in shock: "What is this...?"

"The Symbiotic Gold Talisman can protect us from being attacked when we are alone, and it also has a certain protective effect, which is better than the peace amulet."

Especially with the addition of the blood of this otherworldly person, it has a considerable confusing effect.

"The Golden Talisman of Symbiosis... I seem to have heard that this has been lost for a long time! Legend has it that the more people there are, the greater the effect. As long as everyone is united, the power is infinite!"

Wu Lili loves reading the most. Her eyes were shining and she was very excited.

"This Symbiotic Gold Talisman is actually a rope talisman, not a yellow talisman! No wonder I can't find any information about this yellow talisman!"

"If Deputy Minister Wei and his team had this rope amulet to protect themselves, maybe..."

"Master Bai, do you have any important friends? You can send them a few messages. Once we get on the helicopter, there will be no signal."

Ju'an watched the car gradually approaching where the helicopter was parked, and reminded Bai Siyu.

Bai Siyu understood Ju'an's meaning. He lowered his eyes slightly and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

But he held the phone in his hand for a long time and in the end did not send a single word.

"Forget it." Bai Siyu pressed the power button.

It's hard to say how dangerous this mission is, but it is definitely 100% dangerous. Telling Changzhu about it would only cause him more trouble.

Even if he was lying, Pastor Cang was so smart that he would definitely guess it immediately.

It's better to say nothing.

Half an hour later, Bai Siyu, Ju An and others got on the helicopter together.

The helicopter buzzed all the way.

Four hours later, late at night, several people landed on the back mountain of a remote village deep in Y Province.

"I'm so tired. My waist is going to break."

"Xiao Guo, how old are you? Why are your waist already weak at such a young age?"

After getting off the helicopter, Guo Yao and Shao Changwei chatted jokingly, trying to ease their nervousness.

The surrounding dense forest was quiet and cold wind was blowing, but fortunately, there were people from local agencies to help, so the open space in the dense mountains was not completely dark.

Two police cars with searchlights were parked nearby, led by Secretary Zhao, the top official in charge of the area.

"Secretary Zhao, you have worked hard. Please come back to pick us up."

"Comrade Ju, this is what we should do. We have settled you in your fellow villager's home. You can stay there tonight and go back to do your work tomorrow."

"Thank you."

"Team Leader Ju!"

A person walked out from behind Secretary Zhao. It was a short-haired woman named Li Qixia, who was the comrade who stayed in Province Y, waiting to reunite with Ju'an, Bai Siyu and others.

"Comrade Li Qixia."

When Ju An saw Li Qixia, he immediately shook hands with her.

Li Qixia is a member of the special intelligence branch stationed in Province Y all year round, and is also one of the top three capable members of Province Y. This time, except for her, several other more powerful personnel on their side followed Vice Minister Wei and other comrades from the capital into the heart of the dragon vein to carry out the mission, but in the end none of them came out.

"Don't worry, we will not abandon our mission, nor will we abandon our trapped comrades."

"Yeah." Li Qixia nodded with red eyes.

God knows how worried she has been about the teammates she couldn't contact these days.

"Qi Xia."

Wu Lili also came forward, her eyes a little moist. She and Li Qixia had worked together before, but later Li Qixia was assigned to Province Y, and they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Could this be Master Bai?!" After Li Qixia and Wu Lili hugged each other, they saw the young man behind Wu Lili and their expressions were slightly stunned.

Although Master Bai is very capable, he is still just a young child. Is it really a good idea to ask him to come for such a dangerous mission?

"Hello." Bai Siyu glanced at Li Qixia calmly. After noticing anything wrong, he handed her the last rope amulet he had kept in his hand and said, "Here, give it to you. Wear it."

Li Qixia had no idea what this thing was, but she could feel the deep and mysterious power of the talisman contained in it. She was a little surprised for a moment, but there were people around who were not from the alien intelligence department, so she did not ask.

"Thank you." Li Qixia took it.

Ju'an was used to dealing with people like Secretary Zhao, so the greetings ended quickly.

Then a group of people followed Secretary Zhao and two comrades in police uniforms into the car and arrived at the village in front of the mountain.

I rested for a night at the village chief's house, where I had made arrangements long ago.

Since they had discussed the situation with each other before, they didn't talk about anything else in this unsoundproof room. They just set up a protective formation and went to sleep.

The next day, Bai Siyu woke up at dawn.

When he opened his eyes, he also found that other people were getting up and packing their things.

"Master Bai, good morning."

"Master Bai, are you awake?"

"You all got up so early." Bai Siyu rubbed his eyes. He went to bed at almost four o'clock last night and it was only six o'clock now. Strictly speaking, the few of them only rested for two hours.

"I'm worried and can't rest." Wu Lili used her fingers as a comb to quickly comb her hair twice, tied it up, and then took out a pack of wet wipes from her bag and distributed them to several people, "Here, forget about washing your face, just wipe it."

This place is already very remote, located deep in the Y Province. It was only in the past two years that it was lifted out of poverty, and many people moved out of the mountains.

The actual mission location is actually about six hours' drive from here.

But then there was no one to help them, and they couldn't have anyone follow them, so they had to drive there by themselves.

Bai Siyu put on his coat, took the wet towel handed to him by Wu Lili, and wiped his face.

Wu Lili kept looking at Bai Siyu, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Bai Siyu didn't notice Wu Lili's reaction, but Shao Changwei saw it and couldn't help asking, "Lili, what are you laughing at?"

"Master Xiaobai has a fresh and tender face, is handsome and cute, and looks so good even when he just woke up."

"Hey, please stop talking about that. It reminds me that I'm already thirty or forty years old and have become an old helper."

Bai Siyu raised his face and smiled as well.

"How can that be? You all look very young. You look almost the same as me."

"Master Bai is really good at talking."

After they packed up their things, they walked out of the door carrying their important backpacks. As soon as they walked out of the door, they met the eyes of an old man with wrinkles on his face.

The old man looked at them with cloudy eyes, showing his yellow teeth, and said something.

The old man spoke with a strong accent and few people could understand him.

Fortunately, a police officer who had not left came in from outside the courtyard gate and said something to the old man before saying to Bai Siyu and the others, "No big deal, this old man just asked if you guys are still staying here, you can just leave."

"Thank you, comrade. You didn't sleep all night?"

"I stayed in the car for a while." The man smiled.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Ju'an exchanged a few words with him before driving away with his group.

The car was provided by the government and was a modified off-road SUV with a large capacity that was perfect for seven people.

After Shao Changwei drove for two hours, the car stopped halfway and Guo Yao took over the driving.

The car went deeper and deeper into the forest, the forest became denser and denser, with mountains piled up one after another, and there was no trace of any human beings left.

Ju An and Hua Jin's expressions became more and more serious. The dragon vein was only a few hundred miles away from here, but they could not detect any trace of pulse leakage. Either the dragon vein was in serious condition, or the damage was minimal.

But if it was the latter, how could anything happen to Deputy Minister Wei and others? ! !

This is extremely wrong.

After eating the compressed biscuits, Bai Siyu has been resting with his eyes closed. He holds a string of wooden beads in his hand and pinches them slowly with his fingers, just like Shepherd Changzhu's little habit in the past.

Now he couldn't help but get a little bit of it.

But after another two and a half hours, when Guo Yao got out of the car and was about to take over driving with Shao Changwei again, Bai Siyu's hand that was pinching the beads suddenly stopped, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

Hua Jin noticed Bai Siyu's reaction and immediately asked, "Master Bai, do you want to come down to relieve yourself?"

"No, stop!" Bai Siyu's expression suddenly became heavy.

He turned his head and looked due west, his brows furrowed, his eyes dark: "Didn't you notice something wrong?"

"What?" Hua Jin asked in confusion, "Master Bai, did you find something wrong?"

Ju'an and the others also turned their eyes to Bai Siyu.

"What's wrong, Master Bai?"

"Did you notice something was wrong with the dragon vein?!"

"Nine-Reverse Soul Sealing Formation!"

Bai Siyu's fingers moved rapidly, but the more he calculated, the uglier his expression became.

Although Ju'an and the others did not fully understand, their faces changed after hearing the words 'Soul Sealing Array'.

The Soul Sealing Formation was also a very famous ancient formation. It was based on seventeen ancient copper coins with boy's eyebrows on them to create seven small gates on the ground. The wronged souls could stay there forever and could not find their way out. It could be used for either good or evil purposes, all depending on the intention of the person who set up the formation.

But if you place a formation like this near a dragon vein, the probability of evil is definitely greater than the probability of positive.

Especially...what Master Bai mentioned was not a simple Soul-Sealing Formation, but the Nine-Reverse Soul-Sealing Formation that they had never heard of. And Master Bai's expression and attitude proved that the appearance of this thing here was definitely not a good thing!

After just a dozen seconds of calculation, beads of sweat appeared on Bai Siyu's forehead.

He slowly put away his hand and looked at them: "We can't go to the dragon vein now. We have to go to the place where the enemy has set up an array first, otherwise the dragon vein will be cut off in a few days."

"What?!!!" Ju An's face changed drastically.

"Master Bai, we haven't even gotten close to that place yet, how did you figure it out? Also, what's the difference between the Nine-Reverse Soul Sealing Array and the Soul Sealing Array?!"

"The Nine-Reverse Soul Sealing Formation is a composite formation that combines an incomplete version of the Dragon-Severing Formation and a variant of the Underworld Formation. You should be familiar with the latter two formations."

As Bai Siyu's voice fell, the faces of several people became completely ugly.

The Dragon-Slaying Formation is also one of the lost ancient formations. What people can use now is just a remnant version, but the basic idea of ​​the formation has not changed. It has always been a burial formation, which is considered a kind of Maoshan technique. It mainly uses the spirits of mountains and rivers to defend tombs. The spirits of mountains and rivers are almost recognized as the most powerful force in the world, and cannot be contended by humans, livestock, ghosts and other forces.

The purpose of applying the Dragon-Slaying Formation here is definitely not to destroy the ghosts in the Soul-Sealing Formation, but probably to control some kind of evil power.

In addition, there is the strange formation called the Hades Formation, which uses strange spirits and living souls as the center of the formation.

And near the dragon vein...

I can't even imagine what this place would look like!!!

"I'm not sure whether the person who set up the formation was a coincidence or really had the ability, but he did have the ability to steal and transform the dragon veins. The dragon veins might have been set up as the eye or the center of the formation. If we go over there now, we'll be walking into a trap. Not to mention whether we can get out, we'll probably become a soul trapped inside."

Bai Siyu raised his hand and took out a piece of yellow talisman paper, made it into the shape of a paper man, bit his tongue, and sprayed blood on it.

He opened his mouth and blew, and the paper figure stood up and floated in one direction.

"Team Leader Ju and Team Leader Hua, come with me. The rest of you stay here and guard the rear. If you feel the rope talisman is burning you, just bite your tongue or fingertips and spray the blood on them. It can help us!"

After Bai Siyu finished speaking, he raised his legs and followed.

Ju'an and Hua Jin looked at each other and decided to hand over the leadership to Bai Siyu, the only one who was not in the spy department.

"Listen to Master Bai, the four of you wait here!"

After they finished talking, they started chasing after him.

Wu Lili and the others looked at each other anxiously, but since the two most capable team leaders had said so, they had no choice but to listen.

Bai Siyu chased the little paper man for at least seven or eight miles, breaking many sleight of hand tricks and formations during the chase. Ju'an and Hua Jin could see most of these ghost-wall-like formations, but none of them were as easy as Bai Siyu could break them. It was as if he just raised and flicked his fingers and the formations were broken one after another.

Ju'an and his companions became more and more frightened.

Not only were they impressed by Bai Siyu's unfathomable strength, which might have surpassed their leader, Han Tianshi, but they were also shocked and terrified by the truth that was gradually revealed before them.

They actually saw a "living" dead person!!!

You have to know that all the ghosts in movies are fake. There are exorcisms in real metaphysical teachings, but these "ghosts" and "evil things" are actually a kind of invisible and intangible "qi". They are not like what is processed in movies and TV dramas, looking like corpses with clothes, facial features and limbs.

But now it was noon, and they actually saw a group of shadowless dead people walking around.

It looks like the villagers have always lived in this area.

Without waiting for those half-human, half-soul creatures to "see" them, Bai Siyu cast a spell.

"The Supreme Lord has decreed that your lonely souls be liberated, and all ghosts and spirits be blessed. Those with heads will be liberated, and those without heads will be reborn. Hurry and obey the command!"

"puff."

“Puff!”

It was like a shattered mass of air. The moment Bai Siyu's curse fell, those half-human, half-soul creatures exploded one after another, emitting a foul stench and black blood.

The remaining body parts were scattered on the ground and began to rot in a blink of an eye.

"What the hell is this?!"

Hua Jin was shocked.

This doesn’t seem to be a half-soul, half-human monster!

"The puppet evil in the Nine-Reverse Soul Sealing Formation is nothing more than a living evil."

Bai Siyu slowly held the talisman in his hand.

"You guys have to be careful, we have officially stepped into this big formation."

Ju An also noticed the difference in this formation. It seemed that there was an endless supply of dragon vein spiritual energy flowing in, supporting this formation, or in other words...

This complicated magic circle is just a sleight of hand. The purpose is to steal the dragon's veins!

"With the spirit of the mountains and rivers as a shield, no wonder it can't be seen from a distance."

Ju An clenched his fists tightly.

But once you step in, you realize that you have missed the best opportunity and are trapped in the battle.

The three of them moved forward and cooperated with each other. After all, no matter how powerful Bai Siyu was, it was impossible for him to destroy all the evil spirits by himself. Sooner or later, Bai Siyu would run out of energy.

Ju'an and Hua Jin also used their best skills and focused their attention throughout the whole process, trying not to rely on Bai Siyu.

Soon, the few people walked from dawn to dusk, and arrived near the center of the formation.

There was no need for Bai Siyu to remind them this time. Ju An and the others saw the evil spirit rising into the sky. It was black, red and gold, and it looked both good and evil. It had obviously absorbed a lot of dragon energy!

The puppet evil spirits nearby are obviously different from the previous ones. They are like evil spirits, carrying evil spirits that will rot bones if touched!

"You guys stand back."

Bai Siyu expressionlessly took out three red talismans stained with purple energy and a dagger with a copper coin-shaped handle from his backpack.

The moment he threw the red talisman forward with one hand, a dagger fell from mid-air, cut through Bai Siyu's palm, and penetrated deeply into the ground with a sound of clashing swords!

Send the ghosts into the ground, and unite the people and the formation!

"Whoever defies me will die. Dare to charge! Hurry up and obey the command - break!"

A loud golden sound suddenly roared up, surging out from the ground, wrapped in an irresistible force.

The demon-like puppets were hit by the golden light raining down like arrows and exploded instantly!!!

The stench and karma were everywhere.

Ju'an and Hua Jin hurriedly chanted the spell and made seals with their hands.

"Golden light appears quickly, protecting the real person, hurry up and obey the command!"

Karma and evil surged past the three people, like a surging tide of tremendous power, but it couldn't shake the corners of their clothes even a little.

Ju Anhe and Hua Jin's foreheads were covered with sweat.

Bai Siyu stood at the head of the three, his hand making seals quickly, his fingers turning into phantoms, his eyes were deep and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth——

"Real form revealed!"

The scenery that was originally shrouded in the illusory night mist suddenly changed.

Three black and red gas columns with golden spots rose into the sky in the eyes of Ju An and Hua Jin.

Both of them's pupils constricted.

"Array eyes?!!"

"Team Leader Ju, Team Leader Hua, I will teach you how to break the formation. You will listen to my instructions and move with me at the same time."

Bai Siyu swallowed the fishy sweet taste in his mouth, took out nine incense sticks from his backpack, and three purple talisman papers that Ju'an and the others had never seen before.

Ju'an really wanted to ask what this was, but he still cared about Bai Siyu first.

"Master Bai, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry, this blood came out from the tip of my tongue."

Bai Siyu's voice was neither fast nor slow, and he was calm and relaxed.

The scene in this formation was actually better than he had imagined. The person who set up the formation had a wide range of knowledge in metaphysics, but the thickness of the formation was just average.

Not as good as his master.

He originally thought that the appearance of a remnant in this person's formation was due to some strangeness or conspiracy, but now it seems that this is just the limit of his ability.

All those instructions he gave to Wu Lili and the others seemed unnecessary.

"Go to the two smaller formations. Each of you take one of these talismans and three sticks of incense."

Bai Siyu divided the things in his hand among Ju'an and Hua Jin.

"When two of the three incense sticks are burned out, you must step into the center of the formation. When all three incense sticks are burned out, you must activate the talisman within half a breath to break the formation! You must not be a bit slower or faster."

"Okay, Master Bai, we'll remember this."

"Also, there will be a counter-attack at the moment the formation is broken, so you must be careful."

After Bai Siyu gave the two people instructions, he took out a lightning-struck wooden bead and put it in his mouth.

The three array eyes appear to be in almost the same position in front from a distance, but in reality they are in completely different directions.

The three of them soon parted ways.

Bai Siyu held incense in his hand and walked step by step towards the center of the main formation where the evil spirit was the strongest. The dragon vein aura here was also extremely strong, but it was contaminated by karma and became even more ferocious.

When a stick of incense in his hand broke, Bai Siyu looked towards the west and saw the ground was covered with densely packed black and red chains, extending all the way to the westernmost dragon vein.

A giant dragon with its neck strangled lay between heaven and earth, groaning in pain.

The black and red chain was still tightening inwards, drawing out the dragon's vitality and continuously injecting it into the Nine-Reverse Soul Sealing Formation.

"What a pity, the effort was in vain."

Bai Siyu's cold voice floated out from between his lips and teeth. As soon as the last syllable fell, the second incense stick broke abruptly.

Dense incense ash lingered around Bai Siyu. He stepped into the center of the formation, and the third incense stick also cracked!

This is the time!!!

Bai Siyu's eyes flickered, and he instantly activated the Purple Thunder Shield Gold Talisman in his hand, and spit out the Lightning Wood from his mouth -

“Bang—!”

It was as if the heavens and the earth were shaking, or the ground was cracking and the mountains were collapsing. The three array eyes were suddenly blown apart from the inside out. The entire huge array covering nearly a hundred miles suddenly disintegrated and collapsed!!!

The dense chains condensed by the array force completely collapsed, and surging spiritual energy roared up from the mountains, swirling like a whirlpool and rushing towards the dragon vein area!

The air roared and the mountain spirits cried out.

A dragon roar like in a dream pierced through the sky, swept across the mountains and forests, and flew away.

The evil spirit who wanted to fight before dying was about to rush towards Bai Siyu, but was dissipated by a gentle but extremely vast force.

“Boohoo…”

It suddenly started raining.

The fresh fragrance of earth rose up, the green leaves were swaying to and fro due to the raindrops, and countless blades of grass that were pressed under the ground surged out, raising their heads one after another.

A tender green leaf that didn't belong to this season fell on Bai Siyu's head, making a gentle rubbing sound, like the mumbling of a mountain spirit.
