The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 101 The Broken Altar

In the center of this circular crypt, a well platform was built.

In this ten-foot-deep underground chamber, a well was actually dug.

Moreover, when Lu Qian saw the style of the well, he immediately remembered that it was almost exactly the same as the well drawn in the picture in the "Atlas of Creation".

Around the well platform, there are various wooden frames, nooses and so on.On a wooden shelf next to it, there are various knives, saws, shackles, and other instruments of torture. At first glance, it looks like a well-equipped torture platform.

These utensils are placed around the well, adding a bit of eerie feeling.

When Lu Qian saw the appearance of these utensils, he already understood their purpose.

It is conceivable that during this period of time, an unknown number of living people have been carried to this well platform, subjected to various "tortures", and endured both physical and mental torture.

Even Zhu Shiheng himself has gone through such a experience.

Zhu Shiheng is not only ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself.

He had his entire scalp torn off, and the entire skull was smashed and peeled off, and hung on the well platform to be caressed by ghosts.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, the flesh and bones slowly grew again.

He is willing to suffer this torture, which shows that his ambition is not limited to a small world like Maochang County.

It's a pity that he was sent away by the crying baby before his head grew.

Lu Qian imagined the pictures in the "Atlas of Creation". Those pictures seemed to have turned into real people and landed on the well platform, re-simulating the process of "creation".

"Looking at" the scene in front of him, which is rare and miserable in the world, Lu Qian couldn't help shivering in his heart.

at this time.

A slender hand suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

Lu Qian was so startled that he shuddered all over, and turned his head to see that standing beside him was Wang Zirong.

Wang Zirong looked at him in surprise, and said, "Are you... all right?"

A bead of sweat rolled down from his forehead.

Lu Qian reached out and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said, "It's okay."

He secretly decided in his heart that no matter how good this "Atlas of Creation" was, he would never use it on himself.

Wang Zirong took a look at the well platform and said, "Did you hear it? There seems to be a wind noise at the bottom of the well."

The underground secret room is airtight, and the well is even more sealed. How can there be wind?
However, Lu Qian clearly heard the wind.

He sensed it with his mental power, and the well was extremely cloudy, almost the place where Lu Qian had seen the most cloudy air in his life.

The Yin Qi was so thick that his mental strength could no longer tell what was in the well.

However, even if there is something in it, they should not easily come out of the well.

Lu Qian turned his head and looked at the jar placed on the side of the secret room.

Then, he took a step and walked over.

As he walked, it seemed that a breeze was brought up, blowing the Shearing Moon Gate suspended in the air.

The Jianyue Gate hung over Lu Qian's head, and followed him forward.

Wang Zirong raised her head and glanced at the moon, her face full of curiosity.

However, she didn't ask in detail.

Just like Lu Qian, he also didn't ask her what kind of bugs she kept and what abilities each bug had.

There were two rows of jars on the ground, half buried in the ground, about as high as a person's knees, with a big belly and a small mouth, and the mouth of the jar was sealed with a piece of jute paper covered with blood and various symbols.

There are many pictures of ghosts flying around on the body of the jar.There are many ghosts, all of which are outlined with simple strokes.But their faces were all terrified.

In addition, each jar has a very obvious and clear symbol engraved on it.

Lu Qian didn't understand the meaning of these symbols, but he recognized them all.

There are many ghosts on the pictures in the "Atlas of Creation".

There are some symbols drawn on the body of each ghost.

Those symbols corresponded one-to-one with the symbols on these jars.

Obviously, these symbols are a kind of mark.

These jars are used to hold all kinds of ghosts.

The ghosts that can be put into these jars all carry some kind of filth on their bodies.

According to the different kinds of filth they carried, they were put into these jars by category.

The purpose of doing this is obviously for their "creation" work, so that they can access the ghosts in the jar conveniently.

There are no fewer than twenty jars placed here.

Lu Qian didn't know how many ghosts would be put in each jar.

However, to collect so many ghosts and find out the filthy characteristics carried by each ghost obviously requires a lot of work.

In other words, a lot of ghosts and living people need to be ruined.

Zhu Shiheng has been busy with these tasks, no wonder he couldn't go out to find him for so long.

Wang Zirong looked at these jars for a long time, then sighed, and said: "These jars should be used to hold ghosts. If we don't come, they don't know how long they will stay in this dark place."

Lu Qian nodded, did not speak, but bent down, and tore open a piece of jute paper on the seal of the jar.

Then, he covered his eyes with mental power and looked into the jar.

In the jar, it was empty, there was nothing.

Lu Qian was not surprised by this scene.

Ghosts do not have the protection of a physical body, and the crying doll is even more lethal to them.

Earlier in the outer hall, when Lu Qian used the crying baby on Wang Zirong, he unexpectedly received a large number of potential points.

Most of these potential points are contributed by the ghosts in these jars.

These ghosts have been completely dispersed by the cry of the crying baby.

Therefore, all the twenty or so jars were empty.

Only, the innermost jar was a bit unexpected.

A piece of jute paper was also pasted on the seal of the jar.

However, there was a hole the size of a fist in that piece of jute paper.

In other words, the ghost contained in that jar has already broken through the seal and flew away.

Lu Qian's mental power had already covered the entire underground secret room, but he never discovered that there was a ghost inside.

The broken jar is different from other jars.

The ghosts depicted on this jar are denser, almost twice as dense as other jars.

Moreover, those ghosts, the expressions on their faces, and the look of horror, are even more serious than other ghosts!
Lu Qian walked to the broken sealed altar, looked inside carefully, and saw that it was indeed empty.

The jute paper on the seal looks new where it's torn.

The ghost in this jar obviously just flew out not long ago.

However, the ghost flew very fast, and it disappeared without a trace. Now that Lu Qian wanted to find it again, he had no way of doing it.

Wang Zirong walked up behind Lu Qian and said, "These jars are not ordinary, they should still be of some value."

Lu Qian pointed at the hole at the entrance of the altar, and said, "The value of this altar is probably average if it can be broken through by ghosts from the inside."

Wang Zirong was stunned for a moment, and said a little dissatisfied: "That can only mean that the ghost inside is too powerful, or something else happened."

Lu Qian didn't argue with her, he had all kinds of little paper figurines and paper brides in his hands, and these jars were of little value to him.

Wang Zirong glanced around and said, "I don't think there's anything good here, let's go. It's very gloomy here, and I always feel uncomfortable staying here."

Lu Qian glanced at the three coffins that were tightly bound by iron chains not far from the stairs, and said, "I'm afraid the most valuable things here are the things in those three coffins."

Hearing this, Wang Zirong shrugged and said, "What's the use of that, do you know how to refine corpses?"

Lu Qian didn't answer her.

In the "Creation Atlas", in addition to the "Creation Technique", there is also a "Corpse Refining Technique".
