Chapter 102: Stinky Place and Crying Sounds
Chu Xuanyi had been waiting for a long time on the observatory of the National Master's Mansion.
In the center of the observatory, there is a huge bronze sand tray filled with silvery-white, slowly flowing sand.
"Sir!" Ajiu greeted Chu Xuanyi politely when he saw him.
"Ajiu is here." Chu Xuanyi smiled gently and pointed at the huge sand table. "Later, I will cast a spell to project the map of the capital onto this sand table. You just need to tell us where you sensed...an uncomfortable aura."
"Feeling uncomfortable?" Jiu blinked.
Xiao Yu helped her explain: "It means a place that makes you feel 'stinky' or has 'crying sounds'."
Ajiu nodded, not quite understanding.
Chu Xuanyi took a deep breath, his expression becoming solemn. He pressed his hands together, muttering something, and golden runes flew out from his fingertips, sinking into the silver sand table.
"The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law! Mountains and rivers are maps, and the energy channels are revealed! Command!"
With his low shout, the entire sand table suddenly lit up!
The silver sand began to flow rapidly and pile up on its own. In just a moment, a lifelike miniature model of the capital city appeared in front of the three people.
The palaces, towers, streets, alleys, rivers and mountains are all lifelike, and you can even see tiny spots of light flowing through them, representing the movement of the earth's veins.
Ah Jiu exclaimed "Wow", his big eyes filled with surprise.
"Amazing! Just like the real thing!"
"Ajiu," Xiao Yu took her hand and walked to the sand table, "Now, feel carefully, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Jiu obediently closed his eyes, sniffed gently with his little nose, and slowly frowned.
The entire observatory fell silent. Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi held their breath and looked at her nervously.
After a long while, Ajiu opened his eyes, stretched out his little finger, and pointed to a corner on the west side of the miniature imperial city on the sand table.
"Over there!" she said in a baby voice, "There's a place over there that's been crying, crying so sadly..."
Xiao Yu and Chu Xuanyi looked at each other.
Chu Xuanyi quickly stepped forward, carefully identified the location, and his face changed: "It's... the 'Locking Dragon Well' in Xiyuan!"
"Lock Dragon Well?"
"Yes, that is one of the 365 main array eyes of the 'Great Array of Sealing Demons from Heaven and Earth', which is specially used to suppress a node of a Yin Sha earth vein. Since the founding of the dynasty, the well has been sealed and ordinary people are not allowed to approach it." Chu Xuanyi explained.
"What else?" Xiao Yu continued to ask Ajiu.
Ajiu closed her eyes and felt it for a while again. This time, her little face was wrinkled and full of disgust.
She stretched out her finger and pointed at several places on the sand table.
"Here, here, and here... they all stink! Like rotten eggs and the smell of fish. Jiu doesn't like it!"
The places she pointed out included an abandoned land temple in the south of the city, a corner of the moat, and even one that was underneath a restaurant in the most prosperous East Market in the capital!
Chu Xuanyi memorized every place she pointed out and matched them one by one with the formation diagram in his mind.
His expression became more and more ugly as Jiu pointed out more and more places.
Without exception!
All the "stinky" and "crying" places that Jiu pointed out intuitively were important nodes of the "Heaven and Earth Demon Sealing Array"!
This means that there are problems with all these nodes!
"Xuan Yi, can you let us see more clearly?"
"Can!"
Chu Xuanyi took out an ancient Bagua bronze mirror from his sleeve, pointed it at the location of the "Dragon Locking Well" that Ajiu had first pointed out, and shone it in the air!
"Mysterious Light Technique, activate!"
On the mirror surface, a flash of light appeared, and a clear picture emerged.
It was an ancient well, entwined with layers of massive iron chains, its mouth covered in talismans. The runes, which should have glowed golden, were now dim.
What's even more terrifying is that above those golden runes, there are twisted runes like black poisonous snakes, slowly wriggling and climbing, constantly eroding the original seal!
Xiao Yu's pupils suddenly shrank.
He was very familiar with this breath!
It was the evil spirit of the Black Bone Tribe that had been raging in his body for a long time and almost took his life!
"It's them!" Xiao Yu's fists were clenched so hard that they made a clattering sound, and murderous intent was boiling in his eyes.
Chu Xuanyi's face also turned ashen. "What a cunning scheme the Wugu tribe has! They've been eroding the Demon Sealing Formation for so many years right under our noses! They deserve to be killed!"
They had always thought that the Wugut tribe had only started to become active in Dajing in recent years, but they had never expected that their layout was so far-reaching!
Ajiu couldn't understand the complicated runes on the bronze mirror.
But she could see that those black lines were "bad things."
She saw that Xiao Yu's face had turned terrifying, and the pink flower on his head, which had just looked beautiful, began to have black mist swirling around its edges again.
She quickly stretched out her little hand and pulled Xiao Yu's sleeve.
"Brother Xiongxiong, don't be angry, don't be angry." She raised her little face and said seriously, "Ajiu will help you wipe off all those black bad lines!"
The little girl's crisp and soft voice was like a clear spring, instantly extinguishing the anger in Xiao Yu's heart.
He lowered his head, looked into the little girl's eyes that were full of worry, and the violence in his heart slowly subsided.
"Ajiu, help Xiongxiong brother find them all. Xiongxiong brother will crush them... inch by inch."
Chu Xuanyi looked at this scene and sighed.
He put away the bronze mirror and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, there is no time to lose. We must act immediately. These eroded nodes must be repaired as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the seal collapses on a large scale and the evil spirit of the 'Heart of the Netherworld' leaks out, the entire capital will be transformed into a living hell!"
"I understand." Xiao Yu's gaze returned to the huge sand table. He held Ah Jiu in his arms and moved, transforming into a black shadow as he rushed out of the observatory. "Xuan Yi, follow me."
Chu Xuanyi held the whisk in his hand, glanced at the shocking black spots on the sand table, sighed lightly, and followed closely behind.
The night completely engulfed the three figures.
On the other side, the Censorate.
Left Censor-in-Chief Qian Bingzhong has been very troubled recently.
What worries me is not state affairs or family affairs, but having nothing to worry about.
Yes, you heard it right, it's okay.
In the court, the country is peaceful and the officials are working diligently. No one is corrupt or abuses their power. The border is peaceful and no one is lying about military intelligence. Even the street thugs have become less numerous recently.
This made Censor Qian, whose life's work was "impeaching officials and investigating lawlessness", feel an unprecedented professional crisis.
In the study, Qian Bingzhong crumpled up the draft of an impeachment memorial for the Nth time and threw it on the ground angrily.
"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"
