Chapter 158 The mirror is blown away by my handsomeness
It is indeed difficult to find a mirror in a pile of ruins.
The Meng family is wealthy and powerful, and is the largest family in the town. Although they were severely damaged in a decisive battle with the evil spirits, the scale of their mansion is still there.
Lin Du sighed as he dug through the ruins, "Real estate is just real estate. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. The big ones are just hard bones."
It took five people a long time to pull out a few mirrors.
Lin Du and Yan Qing each held a mirror to study, and found that the mirror needed the Meng family bloodline to open.
As luck would have it, now they are all outsiders, and the only bloodline of the Meng family is left with only bones, which are engraved with curse marks and are not as useful as grass on a grave.
Lin Du glanced at Meng An and sighed, as if he was looking at a group of his honest and prudent nephews.
It's no use. It's no use.
Yan Qing reminded, "Why don't we tear it down?"
Lin Du asked him, "Can we find the memory core after dismantling it? Can we ensure that the previously recorded scenes are still there?"
Yan Qing shook his head honestly.
Lin Du sighed again.
It's no use. It's no use.
"But, Junior Uncle, you are well-read. Liyang Town is located in the southwest border. You can tell at a glance that the statue and the curse on the bone have the same origin... what about this mirror?"
Lin Du understood, "Go and practice dismantling that stone statue first."
Yan Qing:?
Lin Du held the mirror and ran towards the original courtyard, followed closely by Yan Qing. The remaining three hesitated for a moment and then followed him.
Meng An was stunned. "Why did you follow her? Aren't you going to continue digging?"
Xia Tian calmly stopped Junior Junior Sister Jin Xuan and said, "Go dig a mirror for Junior Junior Junior."
Jin Xuan also whipped out her whip and hooked Yuan Ye back, "You come back too."
Yuan Ye was pulled back by a mysterious force halfway through his run. He fell to the ground and stared at Ni Jinxuan, "No..."
He looked up and saw Ni Jinxuan just lifting a thick beam, and silently swallowed the rest of his words.
Over there, Yan Qing and Lin Du had successfully removed the core of the stone statue.
"It's the Sun Stone."
Lin Du and Yan Qing looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
“This thing is worth the money!”
In a short while, the cores of all sixty-four stone sculptures were removed. Each person removed half of it and put the whole thing into his own bag.
While dismantling the equipment, Lin Du did not forget his original mission. He wanted to simulate the Eight Yang Formation. However, the Fire Yang Stone was not enough, he also needed human essence and blood.
Among the three talismans at the core of the stone sculpture, one of them is a substitute talisman with human essence and blood.
Lin Du collected the talismans and returned to the Meng family mansion. He called out to Xia Tianwu, "Can you take out the blood essence from them?"
Xia Tianwu looked at it for a while. The medical practitioner was proficient in the art of tempering. "You can give it a try."
Meng An was originally just wandering around the yard bored, but when he saw Xia Tianwu starting to melt the talisman to extract his essence and blood, he became a little more energetic.
I originally thought that among this group of five people, only that bad-mouthed and evil-hearted kid had some ability, but I didn't expect that there were quite a few capable people.
First, it was the two boys' unexpected way of identifying the energy remnants and centaurs from thousands of years ago, then it was the girl's extraordinary strength, and now this female cultivator who always keeps a low profile has an excellent extraction method.
It is not an easy task to extract the dried up essence and blood from the talisman and eliminate the remaining spiritual energy from the ink, talisman paper.
Among the five people, not one of them is an idle person who wants to take advantage of the situation.
Meng An suddenly understood why the kid said, "There are five of us, so we can give it a try."
Maybe they can.
"Junior Master." A drop of blood remained on Xia Tianwu's palm.
Lin Du placed several bright mirrors in front of her. When the crimson spot touched the mirror surface, it automatically disappeared into it.
Soon, a scene from a thousand years ago appeared before them.
From several confrontations and showdowns in the mirror, they restored the truth of that night a thousand years ago.
After Chen Yan discovered that the statue was not right, he attacked it with all his might, but failed to injure the statue. However, he did shake the formation and completely woke Meng An up.
Because of attacking the statue, Chen Yan was strangled to death by the evil spirit and the spirits of the Jingzhong formation. Before he died, he still shouted, "Even if I become a ghost, I will destroy the man-eating statue."
The monk who studied the incense and fire way with Chen Yan was afraid that Chen Yan would really cause chaos after his death, so he trapped his soul in the soul-sealing formation amid the discussions of the people in the town.
The evil spirit discovered the awakened Meng An and thought, "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and there is no room for two spirits in one statue," so it wanted to devour Meng An.
Meng An was very powerful and escaped from the statue, but he had not yet recalled his previous memories. Instead, he lost all consciousness due to the evil spirit on his soul and was called back to the Meng family by the soul-summoning formation in the Meng family ancestral hall.
The evil spirit and the monks who practiced the incense and fire way had a common source of power. They immediately used dreams to inform those monks that a thousand-year-old evil ghost had escaped to the Meng family.
The independent cultivators and the Meng family confronted each other and fought each other several times. The evil spirits and demons in the back also fought back and forth.
The Meng family gathered souls, but it was not because the father was reluctant to part with his son or the family was reluctant to part with the young master, but because they wanted to use the young master's soul to repair the Liyang formation that was destroyed in the previous battle between good and evil.
With the Li Yang Formation, evil spirits will not be able to approach, and this town will eventually return to its pre-war prosperity and peace. The impure spiritual energy generated over the years will also be purified again.
The soul that should have benefited from the incense and the blessings should have been Meng An's, not an extra evil spirit.
And there should not be monks who practice the incense-burning way to steal the power of vows.
The Liyang formation requires those wishes and an evil spirit from the Meng family.
Unfortunately, there were many complications and too many unexpected changes.
In the end, the Meng family formed an formation together and buried the monks, evil spirits, and Meng An in the formation. However, they found that the moment the formation was activated, the essence of the flowers, plants, and trees was gradually drained.
After all, evil spirits are something that were born out of countless human desires. No matter how they were refined, their desire to survive caused a backlash on the Li Yang formation.
The Meng family realized that something was wrong, so they asked their children to quickly transfer to the immigrant group, and the rest of the people broke the formation.
At the end of the scene, the formation is completely destroyed by demons, evil spirits, and monks. The mansion is filled with chaotic figures. People are suffering from the backlash of the formation. Meng An, who escaped, is still murderous and wants to hurt people.
He had to pay for the mistakes he had made himself. The Meng family used the Soul-Snatching Array to seal Meng An, while the monk endured the backlash and drove the evil spirit back to the temple.
Those who remained until the end had almost no vitality in their bodies, their hair was gray, and their bodies were rapidly decaying. Over the long years, they turned into thick dust.
When they entered the courtyard before, perhaps what they stepped on was not dust, but the ashes of the Meng family that had been weathered and dissolved.
The people probably didn't know why they were sent out of the city overnight, let alone what happened in the city.
However, those who truly knew the truth have already turned into dust in the wind and are no longer seen.
After a long while, Ni Jinxuan asked, "Master Junior, why... I feel like they just did something bad with good intentions?"
Lin Du smiled and gently released the spiritual power that was supporting Ming Jing in the air. "Maybe, Junior Master Uncle doesn't know."
As she finished speaking, the mirror suddenly shattered in the air.
Lin Du exclaimed, "The mirror has been blown up by my handsomeness."
Meng An: ...
That's obviously because you didn't control your ice power, okay? Even a ghost like him felt so cold.
Lin Du patted Jin Xuan's head and said, "Good intentions lead to bad results because many people still have bad desires in their hearts. That is the source of many bad things and tragedies."
"You mean well, but you can't know if the other person has other intentions."
"When the initial good intentions pass through countless hands, it's like each of us adding a spoonful of seasoning to a dish. The taste of the whole pot is definitely not going to be good."
"So, my son, there are some things that you can't do just because you have good intentions. If they are not completely righteous, there will always be consequences if you use them. Sect rules and regulations are just sect rules and regulations."
Lin Du withdrew his hand and looked at Jin Xuan who nodded vigorously.
Yuan Ye glanced at Meng An and said, "Are you angry, senior? In fact, for the sake of the country, someone has to sacrifice."
"I know." Meng An smiled and glanced at Yuan Ye, who was obviously a royal descendant from the mortal world. "Do you think I would be unwilling?"
"No, I won't."
"People only live this life. Thousands of years ago, Meng An should have died in that life. If his soul can benefit the people in the future, it will be my great merit. If not, so what?"
After Meng An finished speaking, he crossed his arms and raised his chin towards Lin Du, "Quick, send me and my brother on the road."
Lin Du responded, "Coming, fellow apprentices, follow me to break the formation!"
