How can you become a devil if you don't work?

Chapter 143 Chen Chuyan's Talisman Jade! (seeking subscription)
The broken picture fell into rain, but quickly formed a brand new picture.

And in this brand new picture, only father and daughter are left in the warm and harmonious family just now.

The father, with a calm and vicissitudes of life, was worshiping in front of the grave with his daughter.

The tomb of his beloved wife Fang Yuehua is impressively written on the tombstone.

The two remained silent, with deep nostalgia on their faces.

After the worship was over, the father took his daughter's little hand and walked away slowly.

Vaguely, it seemed as if an illusory soft figure could be seen watching them go.

Stepping forward again, after the screen shattered, the scene changed again.

At this moment, the seven or eight-year-old girl has grown into a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

She chatted with her companions in the school, looking very unhappy.

It is a youthful, lively and energetic cute appearance.

However, in the midst of mutual laughter, she suddenly fell down and became unconscious, causing a burst of confusion in an instant.

Step forward.

The slightly grown-up girl was half leaning against the head of the bed, covered with a thin quilt, with a slightly sick face.

The middle-aged father with a short beard and a blue robe next to him was chattering some jokes that weren't funny.

The girl smiled cooperatively, and it was hard to hide the lingering sadness between her brows.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

The middle-aged man smiled apologetically, and then left the room.

In the outside world, when he heard the news whispered by his subordinates, he was suddenly furious, and the muscles on his face were beating uncontrollably.

But in the end, he didn't explode on the spot. He just glanced at the room next to him, and then led people away with a cold expression, as if he was going to ask the teacher for a crime.

And in the next scene.

The sick girl was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, and her father was pushing the wheelchair forward behind her.

Behind him, followed by eight samurai warriors with swords in hard clothes with indifferent faces.

Just look at the expressions on the faces of those warriors, but they are not guards, and they have a hint of surveillance.

Finally they came to a small colorful garden.

There is a raised rockery in the middle of the garden.

Sitting next to the rockery were two old men with white beard and hair, their eyes half-closed, as if they were sleeping.

Seeing the middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair, the white-haired orange-skinned old man on the left slightly opened his hazy eyes.

He didn't say much, just waved his right hand casually, and the heavy and huge rockery was moved aside.

A black well under the rockery was exposed, and countless twisted red runes were engraved on the side of the well.

Looking at the black well, the middle-aged man trembled uncontrollably, his face extremely painful.

Instead, the girl in the wheelchair stretched out her hand to hold his arm, with a comforting smile on her face.

Then, she struggled to get out of the wheelchair and sat down by the well.

The middle-aged man exclaimed and wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped on the spot by the warrior following him.

The girl looked back at her, said something with a smile, and then plunged into the well.

There was a dull thumping sound from the bottom of the well.

With a wave of the white-haired old man, the rockery was moved back and the mouth of the well was sealed.

Only the heart-piercing cry of the middle-aged man was left on the field.

The screen ended abruptly.

The surroundings returned to bottomless darkness.

In the gloom, there are endless negative emotions constantly floating up and down.

Not to mention ordinary people, even practitioners of the 4th and 5th ranks will be instantly overwhelmed by the negative emotions here and turn into idiots.

Su Mo flicked his fingers slightly, and the bright red light completely tore apart the night-like emotional field.

When he came out, he was already at the gate of the courtyard.

It was as if the previous few steps had passed through the entire alley.

Standing at the door, Su Mo looked up into the courtyard.

I saw that there were already withered and scattered flower fields everywhere.

There were two broken skeletons faintly lying in the flower field.

According to the size and structure of the skeleton, Su Mo immediately thought of the two white-haired old men he saw in the picture.

If there is no accident, those two people should have guarded here, guarding the black well.

Guessing based on the power shown in the screen, they have at least level 7 strength.

As a result, they are all dead on the spot now.

The cause of death is obvious at a glance.

One skull shattered, one sternum pierced.

Obviously, he didn't go through with a single move, which shows the strength of the person who made the move.

Su Mo couldn't help looking at the headless halfling sitting by the well.

He is sitting exactly where the white-haired old man on the left was in the previous picture.

At this moment, he seemed to be aware of Su Mo, an outsider.

The headless halfling turned to face the door, as if he could feel his invisible gaze.

Immediately afterwards, the halfling stood up from the side of the well, his remaining right hand clenched the chalice tightly, and he was extremely vigilant.

Su Mo couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the bronze-colored Jiujue.

The majestic mental power suddenly gushed out from his body, instantly sealing the headless halfling on the spot.

With a light stroke of his right hand, the bronze wine bar held by the other party fell into his hands.

Feeling the powerful material of the top-level magic weapon, a big stone in Su Mo's heart was finally put down:

"Sure enough, it's the Holy Lord!"

Obtaining the holy title means that the third step of the ceremony has been half completed.

Looking back, as long as Song Ruyuan and others go to the Chen family with the 12-person talisman for a cutscene, the highlight of the ceremony can be started.

But before that, Su Mo decided to check the small courtyard in front of him.

If I guess correctly, the headless half-body in front of me should be the high priest of the Chen family, Chen Chuyan.

He must have experienced some kind of battle during the ceremony, so that half of his body was cut off.

But the problem is that the aura he showed before has infinitely approached the ninth level.

To be able to kill him with a single blow, it is very likely that a strong man in the mage realm appeared in the festival.

However, this all depends on follow-up investigations.

Su Mo turned his gaze to Chen Chuyan in front of him.

The other party did not stay in the shrine after death, but came to this place.

Presumably, his deepest obsession must remain here.

Through the picture seen earlier on the flower path.

Su Mo could vaguely guess what the other party's obsession was.

He couldn't help looking at the black well beside Chen Chuyan.

However, when he stepped closer, the headless halfling who had been suppressed struggled violently.

The strength of his struggle was even stronger than when he snatched the holy title before.

Black blood burst out from the wound, and the bones in the body creaked even more.

It seemed like it would break apart at any moment.

"So, is this the place you miss the most?"

Su Mo came closer and looked down.

A black well with a diameter of 1.5 meters does not contain a drop of well water.

The bottom of the well has long since dried up, leaving only black-gray sand.

And many pale bones hidden in the sand.

"Are there 36 in total? The Chen family really committed crimes."

Su Mo sighed.

He could roughly guess that the 36 skeletons at the bottom of the well must include the girl seen in the picture earlier, that is, Chen Chuyan's daughter.

In fact, Su Mo was very surprised. With Chen Chuyan's status as the high priest, why was his daughter asked to throw himself into this well?

Judging from the situation shown in the picture, perhaps in the Chen family, there is a principle that overrides the high priest, or there is something special about his daughter that must be thrown into the well.

Of course, throwing himself into the well is definitely not a simple suicide. This black well engraved with many strange runes is definitely not as simple as imagined, otherwise the Chen family would not have sent two 7th-level powerhouses to guard it here.

Even the authority of the high priest cannot violate this black well, which shows that the Chen family values ​​it.

So what exactly are they throwing people into the well for?
Su Mo couldn't figure it out for a moment.

He looked at the headless halfling beside him.

After the previous violent struggle, the other party was about to collapse and dissipate at this moment.

But since there was only half of the body left, Su Mo did not get any useful memories from his disappearance.

"It seems that all these mysteries may not be completely solved until the Chen family."

……

Twilight.

Su Mo led Xue Lansu to the gate of Liu's house.

The meeting of the two parties is extremely joyful.

Especially when the people staying behind saw the holy title that Su Mo took out.

Almost cheered out.

With Shengjue, the third step is completely stable!
However, considering the content of the ceremony, the next step is to go to the Chen family.

Wait until everyone invites the saint Liu Huayu out.

Xue Lansu's expression froze slightly:
"This is the saint you prepared?"

At this moment, Liu Huayu was wearing a white sacrificial attire.

There are many crooked stitching and splicing marks on the sacrificial robe.

Even Liu Huayu, who was wearing the sacrificial costume, had many mended wounds on her body.

Zhuo Ningning, who was doing the mending work, said awkwardly:

"I only know a little about knitting, and that's all I can do.

But Director Song and the others all said that it was better to make up than not to make up. "

Xue Lansu listened, quite speechless.

But she also knew that she couldn't be too demanding.

It's good enough to find a candidate saint, as long as the clothes and styles are enough.

Skipping this paragraph, everyone followed the rules of the ceremony, walking forward with the saint protected by 12 talismans.

At the front was Su Mo, who kept shaking the worship bell as he walked.

As for Xue Lansu, Song Ruyuan and others, they followed behind, acting as villagers participating in the ceremony.

It was daytime now, there were no more treacherous monsters around, and the long street looked extremely desolate, with a sense of dilapidation and coldness.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a little relieved.

At least in this way, a lot of trouble will be saved along the way.

Following the established route, everyone walked for almost half an hour, and finally arrived at Chen's house.

The building of the Chen family is grand and vast. At first glance, it looks like a mountain villa. It stands alone on the edge of the village, occupying a large area of ​​land. It is incompatible with other nearby houses, and one can see the domineering viper at a glance.

And everyone also noticed that there were many figures wandering around in the Chen family.

Obviously, there are a lot of weirdness left here.

Song Ruyuan and the others were ready to move, excitedly wanting to clean up.

However, without waiting for them to make a sound, Su Mo, who was walking in the forefront, slowly shook the worship bell in his hand.

The invisible sound wave suddenly swept forward, constantly stirring and bouncing between the buildings.

All the weirdos who heard the sound waves suddenly froze.

Immediately afterwards, their spirituality quickly dissipated like snow under the scorching sun.

Kong left some bones and parasites on the ground.

Suddenly, there was a dense thumping sound.

After breaking into Chen's house all the way, everyone divided into three groups and searched in all directions.

Although the Chen family has long been destroyed, there must be some treasures left in such a large family.

Such as magic tools, Danfang and the like, maybe hidden somewhere.

This is a rare gain.

Su Mo naturally swept forward like smoke.

But he didn't search any family secret treasury, but looted the residence of the high priest Chen Chuyan from the very beginning.

In the memory picture in that alley, he had a certain understanding of the internal layout of the Chen family, so he arrived at his destination very quickly.

He reached out and pushed open the door of the residence, and stepped into it.

I saw that the furnishings inside were all very neat and tidy, and all kinds of utensils were neatly placed.

From this, it can be seen that Chen Chuyan is a guy with a strict personality and doesn't like mess.

Then, his important documents must be stored somewhere.

Su Mo's mental power swept across the entire residence.

Immediately found two anomalies.

He came to the bed and broke a bed leg on the left side.

I saw that the leg of the bed was hollow, and there were several objects stored inside.

Su Mo raised his hand and took a jade slip into his hand.

After devoting his mental strength to investigate, he found that it was indeed a third-grade elixir.

The efficacy of elixir is mainly used to detoxify and heal injuries.

It looks like it should be an advanced version of Qingmu Dan, with stronger effects and a wider range of targets.

Then Su Mo picked up several other jade slips.

These jade slips basically recorded many alchemy recipes.

There is a broken version and a complete version.

The grades are basically two or three grades.

Chen Chuyan thought that a first-grade pill was no longer in his eyes.

Or the first-grade elixir will not work at all for what he wants to do.

The only fourth-grade pill on the field was incomplete.

But what is surprising is that these elixirs are basically used for healing and restoring vitality.

It looks like the collection of an alchemist who is good at refining healing pills.

However, Su Mo knew that Chen Chuyan's preparation of these pills must have a lot to do with his daughter who was unable to walk in a wheelchair.

The purpose of the other party's alchemy should be to find a way to cure his daughter.

It's a pity that Chen Chuyan didn't find a solution until she took the initiative to jump into the black well.

Then, Su Mo looked at the remaining three jade stones and a jade plate.

Both the jade and the jade plate are engraved with incomparably mysterious runes.

Su Mo picked up one of the orange-yellow jade stones, and his hands were cold, full of inspiration.

Look at the runes and seals that show the light from time to time.

Su Mo's eyes showed a rare look of surprise:

"This is... Fuyu?!"
