Chapter 69: Forbidden Land Lantern "The Heavenly Supervisory Department has always been responsible for supervision, so the garrison commander is used to recording everything around him and reporting it." The Twelve Temple Priests spoke solemnly, "Afterwards, someone found the booklet, which records the events in relatively detail." He exhaled and said, "That night, they encountered a very strange light." According to the records in the book after the tragedy that year, they failed to enter the pure land before nightfall. However, among this group of people, there was the garrison commander of the Heavenly Supervisory Department, who had reached the level of Refining Essence. There are also six temple guards and twelve city garrison guards. Can barely resist the monsters in the darkness. The six people who burn incense in the temple are all very experienced and have high attainments in divine arts. Even if they encounter evil spirits with spiritual birth, they can deal with them. Warriors slay demons, and temples suppress evil. With their combined efforts, as long as they weren't too unlucky, they could basically protect themselves in the darkness.
At least, it should be enough to travel at night and reach the next clean place as soon as possible. But my luck is just too bad! The twelve temple priests sighed and said, "According to the records, because we are far away from the main body of Liu Zun, in the darkness, the effect of the willow branch night lamp is extremely weak." "At that time, they were closer to Qifeng City, so they lit up the Wutong Night Lantern." “But in the darkness, demons and evil spirits invaded, and there were still casualties and people lost their way.” "Finally, I was guided by another 'lantern' in the darkness and arrived at a pure land." "They thought at the time that the lantern was a 'night light' from another city." "They rested for about half an hour in that quiet place, and the garrison commander began to record what they had encountered." "Then, the words on the book suddenly stopped." The faces of the twelve temple priests became extremely solemn: "But at the end of the booklet, there are two more bloody words... Forbidden Land!" It is a pure land in the world. After nightfall, evil spirits dare not invade and no blood is allowed to be seen inside. It is regarded as a sacred place! The forbidden area will devour all living things, whether they are humans or demons, all will be swallowed up in it. Hearing this, Mr. Lu frowned. The dark-faced man couldn't help but fall silent. "We believe that when they discovered that they were in a forbidden area, they were already confused and more likely encountered danger." "This garrison commander probably experienced danger and realized that he could not escape, so he bit his finger and wrote the word 'forbidden land' on the book, leaving a clue!" "As they all died in the forbidden area, the money for buying their lives also disappeared." "This case was finally taken over by the Heavenly Supervisory Department of Qifeng Prefecture City, and we don't know what happened next." The Twelve Temple Priests whispered, "But it is said that the 'forbidden area' was only an ordinary cave after investigation!" Upon hearing this, Lord Lu pondered for a moment and said, "If you look at it this way, maybe it's not that the lanterns appeared in the forbidden area, but that the lanterns appeared there, so that place became a forbidden area."
He thought about it and said slowly, "Well, tomorrow, please ask Gaoliu City's Heavenly Supervisor to send a letter to Qifeng City, requesting that the files be transferred to the Heavenly Supervisor's main building in Qifeng City." The twelve temple priests nodded slightly and were about to speak when they heard hurried footsteps outside. A young woman was walking quickly towards them. She was wearing green clothes, with tears on her face. A token from the Liuzun Temple was hanging around her waist. "Master, the Guantian Tower has reported that something happened in Linjiangfang." "Huh? What happened?" "Under the divine mirror, there is a blood-colored lantern filled with evil spirits. The specific location is approximately near Linjiangsi!" "what?" The twelve temple priests showed expressions of surprise. Mr. Lu frowned and immediately looked at Lu Tang. Seeing this, the dark-faced man quickly responded, "The talisman has been given to the scarred Han Zheng, and he was asked to pass it on... Logically speaking, Wuchang should not encounter such strange things again after getting the talisman made by you personally!" After he finished speaking, he angrily said, "I knew that guy was unreliable. If anything goes wrong, I'll beat that scarred guy to death!" "Go back to Linjiangfang!" Mr. Lu immediately stood up and said in a deep voice. The twelve temple lords hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, are you leaving now? You have traveled a long way during the day to get here, and it is already night. If you go out from the inner city, pass through the twelve squares, and reach Linjiang Square, it will be daybreak. Why don't you rest for a while?" After all, Mr. Lu is not a warrior, and he might not be able to endure the whole day and night of going back and forth. Besides, the other temple priests are still outside, waiting to be received by Mr. Lu. "I came here today with the intention of investigating the 'ominous omen' brought about by the Niujiao Mountain case, and I also want to protect an outstanding descendant for the Liuzun Temple." Lord Lu shook his head slightly and said, "Since this junior has already passed away, there is no point for me to stay any longer." "Besides, this book has already recorded the changes that happened to that junior." "And you also explained clearly where the money for buying your life went." "After I return, I will carefully study these clues and make divinations. If I find anything, I will write it down in a letter and have someone send it to the temple." As he said this, his eyes were filled with worry: "Since something happened in Linjiangfang, I have to rush back as soon as possible." Even his own talisman couldn't control it, and strange things continued to happen to Wuchang. This proves that this matter is more difficult than imagined! Although he knew that Lin Yan had already reached the Essence Refining Realm and had the magic talisman in his hand, he should be safe and worry-free. But he still couldn't stop worrying. "Get the carriage ready immediately, without delay." "Why don't I go with Mr. Lu?" The woman from the temple suddenly spoke up. "..."
Mr. Lu tilted his head and saw that the woman named Linghe had red eyes. When he arrived earlier, Liu Jing was already dead, and the woman's eyes were red from crying. It is obvious that the friendship between the two sisters and the brother is deep. But when Liu Jing died, she didn't want to stay and accompany him for the last time, but wanted to follow me and investigate the matter. Although he has affection in his heart, he is also able to judge the situation, adapt to circumstances, suppress the reluctance and sadness in his heart, and be decisive and resolute. This kind of mentality is quite extraordinary. "it is good." Mr. Lu nodded and said, "When I find out something, I will ask you to bring back the letter." "Then I'll go drive." Hearing this, Lu Tang strode out, cursing in his heart, "Damn Scarface, he's so unreliable!" at the same time. Lin Yan was on the street in front of Linjiangsi, preparing to pick up the gold. But he found that the gold on the ground had turned into mud. After a moment of shock, Lin Yan couldn't help but get furious: "You're using fake money to buy my life?" (End of this chapter)
