Chapter 62
The area ravaged by the fire was left in ruins.
Jin Moli moved quickly, and following the road signs, she soon arrived at the destination.
The basement was secluded and dark. The girl stood against the wind, her gaze fixed on the small, locked door.
With a flick of her finger, the lock clicked softly, and the iron gate slowly opened inward.
"ah--"
"Help!"
As soon as the door opened, it revealed complete darkness, and a series of shrill screams reached her ears through the crack in the door.
The light inside was dim, and Jin Moli couldn't see anything clearly. She swallowed nervously, gripped her sleeves tightly, and mustered her courage to fly inside.
Upon entering the room and witnessing the horrific scene inside, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hand.
In the dim light, a group of people frantically fled through the basement. In the chaos, a white light went out, and the next second another woman was chosen.
The chosen ending...
It turned into a mummified corpse that was even more terrifying than those on TV.
This was the first time Jin Moli had witnessed such a scene, and she couldn't bear to look at it.
The wails from the basement kept echoing in her ears.
She forced herself not to look, to observe calmly, and to stay composed.
Upon catching a glimpse of white light emanating from within the formation, continuously drawing life force and soul from beneath a woman's feet, she stopped abruptly, standing in mid-air, frantically searching for a solution.
"ah--"
Suddenly, someone noticed Jin Moli standing in mid-air. Her black hair was blown backward by the wind, and in the dim light, she looked like a demon coming to claim a life. The woman's eyes widened in terror.
"She's here! She's here! The demon has emerged!"
"ah!"
Upon seeing the female demon, he reached out to grab her.
The woman staggered backward, and in her panic, she bumped into the hideous, desiccated corpse. She fell to the ground, her eyes filled with even greater terror. She screamed and curled up into a ball, her mental state extremely precarious.
Jin Moli reached out to help her, but the fear in her eyes made her hesitate, so she withdrew her hand and looked around.
The woman's situation is not an isolated case.
Their state is like...
She thought about it, and it was like hope that was about to succeed but was then shattered, her mind reeling as she was constantly tormented by cruel reality.
What should she do?
The little girl's face turned red with anxiety as she watched helplessly as the howling within the white light grew weaker and weaker, while her calming spell was swallowed up by the evil magic circle, rendering it useless.
"Isolation Array".
Suddenly, a familiar female voice rang in her mind, pointing her in the right direction.
The little girl's eyes lit up.
With swift movements, several jade pieces surrounded by spiritual light scattered and landed in the designated positions.
With spiritual light surging beneath her, Jin Moli activated the formation without hesitation.
On the wide floor, thin green lines silently covered the original formation.
Fortunately, the formation has neither defensive nor offensive capabilities.
Jin Moli continuously channeled her magic power, and on the magic circle that glowed with a faint white light, fine lines moved and leaped, and in the blink of an eye, tiny sealing talismans were woven into it.
While outputting mana, you also need to draw runes.
The girl stood calmly, and with complete concentration, the magic circle she hated finally ended.
She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, her fear gone. Standing on the ground, she looked at the several corpses and felt a dull ache in her heart.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Run...run..."
The women around them didn't notice that the white light had disappeared.
They are still running tirelessly.
Relying on her remaining spiritual power, Jin Moli waved her sleeve, and beams of warm white light shone into the basement.
"They're out..."
After Yun Qingzi and Jin Moli led the team inside, Wang Yi stayed outside. Only when he saw that everyone had walked out of the building safely did he feel relieved.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Doctor, doctor, come quickly and get the wounded!"
Rescue workers were already waiting at the door, and Yang Zhengyong rushed over to help carry the injured out.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
And in the manor
As the formation failed, the black vortex in the hall gradually dissipated, eventually vanishing completely and transforming into two jade tablets scattered on the porcelain stones in the hall, emitting a clear sound.
The two people, who were relaxing leisurely in the courtyard, naturally did not hear any noise.
In particular, for today's operation, all the miscellaneous people in the manor were driven out.
...
Under a layer of white light, Li Fang's breathing gradually slowed down, and she lay there peacefully.
It's her turn!
She can see her daughter now...
The woman lay there for a while, and the screams around her stopped at some point. Warm yellow light shone in the basement, and the women, whose spirits had been ravaged, collapsed to the ground. The light continuously repaired their bodies, and under the warmth, they comfortably lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Meanwhile, Li Fang, who was waiting for the torment to begin, unknowingly fell asleep.
Jin Moli stood quietly for a while.
He took out a water chestnut fruit and swallowed it to restore his spiritual power.
"Tap tap tap tap tap..."
A series of footsteps came from outside.
Yang Zhengyong took the lead and his heart jumped when he saw the people lying on the ground. He staggered down the wooden ladder.
A trembling voice said, "Master Jin, this... this..."
“And this…” Yang Zhengyong saw the several extremely grotesque mummies. With his rich experience, he could tell at a glance that they were real people.
Jin Moli sighed, her childish voice carrying a hint of heaviness: "Except for a few who lost their life force and soul, the rest are fine."
“Uncle Jin, I used a calming spell on each of them,” Jin Moli paused, then emphasized again, “but their mental state is so bad, so bad.”
Yang Zhengyong: "Understood."
"Quickly, quickly, bring the stretcher down and save the person."
Yang Zhengyong turned to the lifeless corpse, whose face still showed signs of pain when it died. A trace of grief flashed in his eyes. He silently took off his hat and mourned.
"You have suffered."
They were just ordinary people. The cult took advantage of their vulnerability, betrayed their trust, and harmed them.
It also harmed innocent people inside the building.
Today's fire has caused extensive damage.
There are still many matters that cannot be made public. The fire is over, but there is still a lot of work to be done!
After giving a final salute, he lowered his head and said in a gentle voice, "Master Jin, Master Yun is waiting for you outside."
"Okay, I'll go now."
Before leaving, Jin Moli looked back at them one last time.
"One, two, three, go!"
"Quick, this person has a broken neck, be careful..."
Soon the basement became noisy again, with stretchers being carried out one after another.
Jin Moli made way for her.
After they had walked away, she took a deep breath and stepped onto the stairs.
Yun Qingzi stood with his hands behind his back, looking serious. Hearing the commotion behind him, he quickly walked closer and carefully examined her from head to toe.
Seeing no external injuries, he felt slightly relieved: "Senior Sister, how can you still bear it?"
Jin Moli's voice was muffled: "Mmm."
"They died in such agony, in such agony."
At this moment, she felt a deep sadness, even more so than the most hurtful words she had heard as a child.
Yun Qingzi remained silent.
After a long pause, he lowered his head and said, "Junior brother, would you like to recite the Rebirth Mantra so you can personally perform the ritual for their souls to be reborn in the Pure Land?"
The things that Guiyuan Holy Sect has come up with are probably meant to require the sacrifice of human souls. He still remembers that the boy Jin turned into a ghost, which was inextricably linked to this evil cult.
Unless they completely destroy the cult.
Only then can those innocent souls be released and allowed to rest in peace.
Yun Qingzi naturally wouldn't tell Jin Moli what had happened; she was still young and couldn't bear the cruel reality.
Jin Moli nodded: "Okay, I will also pray for them, that their souls may rest in peace."
"Good girl." Yun Qingzi patted her head.
Jin Moli turned her head away, looked up and widened her eyes to emphasize: "I am the senior sister, you must remember your status."
Her chubby little face is so cute.
Yun Qingzi obediently replied, "Okay, my senior sister~"
Linxi Cave
Lingxi followed her two disciples with trepidation, while also watching for the old dog hiding behind the scenes to come out and plot against her.
It's truly exhausting.
In the water mirror, Jin Moli and Yun Qingzi were having a conversation. The little girl's words were filled with more compassion and less innocent than before. After this incident, she had become much more mature, which made Lingxi feel a little sad. She couldn't help but sigh, "My disciple has grown up."
"Isn't it good to grow up?" Su Yuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
Lingxi glanced at him and said, "You don't understand."
After saying that, she lay back down on the cloud bed, turned over, and faced away from the man.
Su Yuan stood awkwardly to one side, looking at Ling Xi who seemed unhappy for some reason. His usually elegant face showed confusion and helplessness.
What doesn't he understand?
...
The formation was destroyed.
The man in white lowered his eyes, his expression remaining unchanged, as if the failed sacrifice, forced by the formation below, had nothing to do with him.
"You do have some skills." He curled his lips into a smile, glanced at the two people downstairs, and then turned and disappeared.
Yun Qingzi, standing in front of the building, seemed to sense something and looked up at the distant rooftop.
The rooftop was empty and unremarkable.
Yun Qingzi turned her gaze back.
...
Linxi Cave
As one of the few households that did not move out.
Jin Li obtained the immortal master's permission.
I picked several bright red peonies that were in full bloom by the roadside.
Big Black grinned and obediently followed Jinli around, attracting Jinli's attention several times.
Jin Li put down the vase and was about to get some water when a warm touch beside her leg made her pause.
He crouched down and said seriously, "Big Black~"
"Woof woof..."
Big Black grinned, its tongue lolling out, and tilted its head, looking at her with an innocent expression.
"Do you know that's dangerous?"
Li Yuncheng came in from outside and saw Jin Li in the courtyard. He walked over to her without realizing it.
Jin Li touched her slightly protruding belly, turned her head to look at his relaxed expression, and asked curiously, "What's the good news that makes you so happy?"
The man tugged at the scar on his face and handed her two printed slips of paper.
The woman took it: "What is this... Ah!"
"Airline tickets!"
Jin Li was somewhat surprised, "The day after tomorrow!!!"
Li Yuncheng nodded calmly: "Let's go out for a walk while we're still in the early stages of pregnancy."
This surprise was truly heartwarming, and Jinli couldn't help but step forward and hug him.
The man carefully protected her stomach and then embraced her with both arms.
"Yuncheng, I don't regret marrying you at all."
Jin Li cupped his somewhat ferocious face and gently kissed it. When she looked up and saw the man's reddened earlobes, she buried her head in his chest and couldn't stop smiling.
After a while, a voice floated down from above, "Me too."
"Woof!"
Big Black tilted its head and approached, quietly sitting down next to its owner's legs.
