Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

The plot is confusing, but the logic is smooth.
I thought it was a thrilling "Mission Impossible" about the relationship between the government and evil spirits, but unexpectedly it turned into a more complicated and confusing "Where Are We Going, Dad".

The men, women, and children in the street were all grinning from ear to ear. Liu Rutang silently picked up the sadomasochism storybook on the ground, and Shi Yunsheng fell into a brief daze.
He was just a 13-year-old child. It was less than a year since he came from the wolf pack to the human race. In his small head, he was forced to endure too many joys and sorrows that were inappropriate for his age.

Is this a detective story?Is this Zhenesi?Is this... the legendary lurking?

Jiang Baiyan stood silently in the center of the crowd, his black feather-like eyelashes covered with shadows, and his thin lips pursed tightly.

Because he was accustomed to killing, everything that happened today was difficult for him to understand. In Jiang Baiyan's understanding, there should be an endless bloody battle at this moment.
As a result, Shi Dai's few words and a few words revealed it easily.

...Looking at the atmosphere at the scene, it doesn’t seem to be “frivolous”.

"Family scandals should not be made public, I will stop here."
Shen Liushuang turned her face sideways: "Li Yan, since you already know everything, we don't have to continue to pretend to each other. Let's make peace with each other after we get home."

The devastated Yan Qinghuan stood side by side with a pair of devastated children, and the onlookers were in mourning.

Several evil children also shook their heads again and again, losing their pretentious attitude before, munching melon seeds and eating lotus cakes, and occasionally murmured in a low voice:
"Scumbag."
"Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, you deserve it."
"Who are the two kids with?"

Shi Dai finished her performance and raised her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears.
After such a bloody drama, the secret blood letter between her and Yan Qinghuan was successfully concealed. The most troublesome thing now is the looks of sympathy, shock or gloating from dozens of neighbors.

The feeling of being surrounded was not very good. Just as she was thinking about how to leave, Shi Dai saw a white shadow flickering beside her.

"Have you seen enough?"
Jiang Baiyan smiled coldly and stood between her and the others: "You don't need to worry about my sister's family affairs."

There is true love in the world, and there is true love in the world.
Shi Dai was slightly startled and blinked.

Yes, judging from this made-up plot, although Lady Zheng, whom she plays, was abandoned by her lover, forced to arrange a marriage by her parents, and treated coldly by her husband, she still has a younger brother.
This is the only person willing to protect her and rescue her.

Mr. Jiang, a great man.

Jiang Baiyan wore Zheng Erlang's sickly appearance, and his appearance was not as sharp as his true appearance, but when he raised the end of his eyes, his pupils as dark as ink jade were filled with coldness.

Several onlookers looked away in disbelief.
He was right, outsiders should not interfere in family affairs, even if their curiosity was about to overflow, they should not ask more questions out of affection.

People dispersed one after another with different expressions. Shi Dai lowered her head and wiped tears, and came to the corner with Jiang Baiyan.

"We found a piece of paper."
Using a volume that only the two of them could hear, Shi Dai said: "It's a blood letter left behind by a girl who failed to escape. It says on the paper that the Lotus Immortal is a man-eating evil spirit. There are currently more than a dozen women imprisoned underground."

Jiang Baiyan stood in front of her and listened quietly.

He was tall and tall, like a tall and straight green bamboo, and his shadow silently shrouded Shi Dai as black as ink.
This blocked her from all sight of the evil child.

The discomfort of being spied on by the spider spirit disappeared. Shi Dai was finally able to relax a little, her back was no longer tense, and she smiled with relief: "Thank you very much just now."

Jiang Baiyan smiled softly: "No need."

"Since there are still a dozen women alive," Shi Dai frowned after integrating the known clues, "how can we find them without being discovered by evil spirits?"

On the other side, Yan Qinghuan also explained the contents of the blood book to his teammates.
In order to fit the character, he pulled Shen Liushuang's sleeves from beginning to end when he spoke, looking like a regretful and heartbroken scumbag, whimpering from time to time.

"...In other words, Lianxian has a hostage in his hands."
Shen Liushuang thought: "Now, we really can't force our way in."

The place where Xie Sui imprisoned the missing woman was vaguely described in the blood letter, using only the word "underground".
Behind the Jade Gate, the space leading to the shrine is twists and turns, with overlapping paths. The girl who wrote the blood letter probably has difficulty describing the specific location.

"Tsk."
Liu Rutang gritted his teeth angrily: "Asshole."

Before coming here, she had some scattered hopes in her heart.
All the families who were interrogated said that their wives and daughters were sacrificed to Queen Lotus and had returned home to visit her two or three days ago.Maybe they are really still alive, maybe they are just bewitched by evil spirits, maybe...

All "maybes" ceased to exist after learning the contents of the blood letter.

Like the human race, the cultivation of demons also pays attention to step by step. Nao Shizi Lianxian treats women as reserve food.

Feeling the anger and murderous intent surging in her heart, Lady Bai Jiu's eyes were blood red and she gently rubbed her collarbone.

"We must find those dozen girls."
Shen Liushuang whispered: "We..."

The last two words were barely spoken, and a shout suddenly sounded in the huge venue:
"The auspicious time has come, and the guests have arrived——!"

Eight children stepped forward and stood on both sides of the jade gate.
With the sound of a distant chime, the lotus flowers painted on the surrounding white walls bloomed, and flowed out like clouds and mist, separated from the painting wall, and floated in the air.

The lotus flowers are as white as clouds, surrounded by auspicious clouds on both sides.The pavilions, terraces and towers gather and disperse from time to time, towering majestically, just like the white jade capital in a dream.

It's fantasy.
It's not profound, but it can already shock all the civilians present.Everyone either bowed to pray for blessings or knelt down devoutly. A few boldly stretched out their fingers, but then retracted their hands just as they were about to touch the lotus.

At the same time, the heavy jade door made a loud noise and opened on its own without anyone pushing it.

The door is finally open!
Shi Dai held her breath and looked into the door.

The entrance is a spacious cave.
There are lotus lanterns hanging on the stone walls on both sides of the cave. The light is not as bright as the light outside the door, but shadowy and disturbing.
The road was flat and smooth at first, but at the end it split into three and branched into three deep paths.

Zhao Wulang said that the land behind the door is complicated and it is easy for people to lose their way.

"We are all the servants of the Lotus Immortal Empress, and we will lead you to the palace."
One of the children said: "The road is bumpy. I hope you will follow me closely and don't get separated."

It has double buns and a white robe. It has a cute and innocent appearance. With the auspicious clouds and thick fog lingering behind it, it does look like a fairy child.

"Those who want to go to the Lianxian Empress Shrine should take the right path."
Another boy whose gender was indistinguishable said with a smile: "Those who want to worship the empress and become a spiritual daughter, drink the sacred wine and follow me to the left."

Listening silently, Shi Dai's heart tightened.
The spirit girl... is choosing a sacrifice.

What is the "sacred wine" it calls?
After it finished speaking, several women hesitated and walked towards it.
Some were hesitant and suspicious of this kind of "god" of unknown origin. They were pushed by their parents, staggered a few steps, and stood tremblingly in front of the child.

The child's smile did not change, and the curve of the raised corners of his mouth was standard and stiff: "Is there more?"

The believers looked at each other and whispered.
Yan Qinghuan looked nervous and worried. Suddenly, he heard Shen Liushuang's voice beside him.

"I go."

...W-what?
The surprise at this moment was no less than that bloody drama, her heart skipped a beat, and Yan Qinghuan looked at her.

"Now that we know a dozen people are still alive."
Shen Liushuang whispered: "The fastest way to find them is to follow these evil spirits directly to the place where they are imprisoned."

This place is full of evil spirits, and the abducted girls must be in a difficult situation. She went to protect them as much as possible.

"I disagree."
Liu Rutang said resolutely: "It's too dangerous. Did you hear what it just said? Those who take the left path must drink the 'sacred wine'."

What a divine wine, evil water is more or less the same.
If Lianxian wants to keep them alive, it is impossible to put poison in the wine.But she bet it was either a powerful potion of ecstasy or an incapacitating drug.

It was extremely dangerous for Shen Liushuang to break into the evil spirit's nest single-handedly. How could she withstand such a torment.

"You can go if you want."
After a pause, Liu Rutang smiled softly: "You have to take me with you."

It is very dangerous for a person to work alone. If two people work together, they can take care of each other!

After being stunned for a moment, Shen Liushuang nodded: "Okay. Everything else will go according to the original plan."

They were well prepared and discussed strategies before coming.
Some people followed Xie Sui to the Lianxian Shrine to see the true identity of the "Lianxian Empress"; others quietly left the team midway to explore other unknown roads and find the missing people.

Now, Shen Liushuang and Liu Rutang voluntarily become sacrifices, and there is no need to change the actions of others.

"……it is good."
With his throat dry, Yan Qinghuan thought of something and took out two pills filled with spiritual energy from his sleeves: "This is a high-level elixir that can detoxify and eliminate evil. If there are really toxins in the divine wine, it can relieve a lot of pain."

"Huh!"
Liu Rutang's eyes lit up: "Reliable!"

"Be careful."
Shi Yunsheng clenched his sleeves and looked up at Shen Liushuang: "I...we will find you."

His voice was low, but his pupils were bright, showing serious stubbornness.
Shen Liushuang raised her lips slightly and touched his head: "Okay."

After a few breaths of silence, she looked at Liu Rutang, and then Shen Liushuang stepped forward: "There are still us."

After the bloody drama not long ago, the eight children were particularly familiar with the two of them, and the believers also cast surprised glances.

"My belief in the Lotus Fairy Queen can be learned from heaven and earth."
Carefully brushing a strand of hair away from her ears, Shen Liushuang chuckled: "Rather than getting entangled with men, it's better to take refuge under the throne of the queen and follow her to the immortal class."

Liu Rutang was very wise and did not forget the character of his youngest daughter. She pretended to be nervous and trembled, and shrank closer to her "mother".

As the number of believers becomes more and more pious, there have been several people who have willingly sacrificed themselves in order to become immortals.
Examples like this are not uncommon. Thinking of today's shocking bloody dispute, the child felt that Shen Liushuang should really be disheartened by the secular world.

"Is this the only ones?"
It was not suspicious, and when no one responded, it nodded to the women in front of it and said, "Come with me."

it has started.
Shen Liushuang clenched her right fist, her eyes moved, and she met Shi Dai's eyes not far away.

Needless to say, Shi Dai could understand her intention, nodded her head very lightly, and opened her lips slightly.
Judging from the mouth shape, it is "Be careful, wait for me to find you."

Smiling silently, Shen Liushuang averted her eyes and followed the boy in white into the jade gate.

The first feeling after entering the door is cold.
There was no wind underground, and a dry chill climbed up my spine from all directions, causing goosebumps all over my body.

This is not the breath of the gods, it is clearly an evil spirit that is so strong that it cannot be dispelled.

"The Lotus Fairy Queen likes peace and tranquility."
The little boy who led them said leisurely: "When you become a spirit girl and serve the empress, you won't feel cold anymore." All the way to the fork in the road, there is a jade table in front of the path on the far left.
On the jade table are wine bottles and several white jade cups.

"This is the divine wine, it can help you get rid of the distracting thoughts of the mortal world."

The boy poured the wine in a familiar manner, handed the glass to the first girl, and waited for the other girl to drink before calling the next person.

Shen Liushuang snorted secretly.
So cautious.

Being stared at one-on-one by children like this, it is impossible for them to do anything while drinking.
Shen Liushuang originally wanted to pour the wine into her sleeves, but now it seems that there is no chance.

The girls in front finished their drinks one by one, and finally it was her turn.
The divine wine tastes fresh and elegant in the mouth, mixed with a vague fragrance of lotus. There is no special feeling after drinking it.

After ensuring that everyone drank obediently, the child smiled contentedly and turned forward: "Follow me."

The moment it turned its back, Shen Liushuang pretended to cough and covered her lips, taking Yan Qinghuan's panacea.

"This, this fairy boy."
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl timidly said: "When we become the spiritual girls next to the Lotus Fairy Queen, can we be like you?"

"nature."
The kid didn't stop and lightly twisted his right hand.
In the blink of an eye, a cloud-like lotus bloomed on its fingertips.

The girl exclaimed, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

Illusion again.
Chen Liushuang's heart was calm and she looked sideways.

The information is correct. There are many side roads in this ghost place. If you rush around in it, you will definitely lose your way.
The branches are forked like tangled branches, and there are no lights in some corners. Looking from a distance, they look like the gaping mouths of giant beasts.

It reminded her of a maze made of spider webs.

……and many more.
His steps suddenly staggered.
Shen Liushuang steadied her pace and heard the sound of someone falling to the ground.

For a moment, my mind became dizzy and my vision went black.She managed to raise her head and saw the girl in front of her swaying slightly, losing consciousness and falling to the ground.

The medicine in the divine wine... worked?
Ink balls of varying sizes surged out in front of his eyes, and all the strength in his body was drained away.Shen Liushuang finally couldn't resist the tiredness, closed her eyes and fell unconscious.

——She pretended.

Thanks to my reliable teammate Yan Qinghuan.

The drug in the divine wine was highly toxic, and although the panacea could not completely eliminate it, it preserved her consciousness.
It's just that I really don't have any strength in my whole body.

The women fell to the ground one after another, and the boy who led the way stopped pretending, yawned lazily, and smiled evilly: "There are only six today, can the Lotus Fairy Queen be full?"

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and hundreds of snow-white spider silk sprang out from behind it.
The spider silk turned into a tough rope and was wrapped tightly in circles, wrapping the women's bodies from the neck down into a thick cocoon.As the child moved forward step by step, Cocoon was also pulled behind it and entered the depths of the path.

Shen Liushuang quietly opened her eyes a crack and looked sideways. Liu Rutang beside her was also looking at her.

Liu Rutang, who was wrapped into a ball, slowly mouthed: "stimulus - stimulation -"

Shen Liushuang: "Remember - the road -"

Liu Rutang blinked obediently, and Lady Bai Jiu around her neck squirmed to show her approval.

The road was full of twists and turns. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the child stopped in front of a stone door.
The stone door was ajar and pushed open by it.Before she could see the scene inside clearly, Shen Liushuang felt her body rising into the sky——

The spider silk swung hard and threw them directly behind the door, which was extremely rude.

Falling heavily to the ground, Liu Rutang cursed inwardly.

They say you won’t cherish it if you get it, and this is indeed true.
Before and after drinking, the attitude of these evil spirits towards them was completely different.

"The newcomer is here."
The kid next to the door smiled and said, "Who will be eaten this time?"

"You...you monsters!"
A sharp and unfamiliar female voice sounded: "You bastard! You must die a good death! Go to the underworld!"

"Please, please let us go."
Another person cried and sobbed: "Didn't you say that the government and Zhen'Esi are already investigating the case? Why continue?"

Following closely, there are more different voices:
"Don't beg it! This dirty thing, talking to it will taint your mouth."
"Can the government and Zhen'Esi come here? It's been so many days..."

Yes, he can, but he is also a prisoner.
Shen Liushuang squinted his eyes and looked around.

Different from the fairy spirit outside the Jade Gate, this is a simple and dilapidated cave with no decorations, covered with spider silk everywhere, and there are large stains of solidified blood at the entrance of the cave.
The cave is not big, and there are more than a dozen women huddled together, ranging from middle-aged to young children. They all have pale faces and dead eyes.

——There were also a few who were aggressive and yelled curses at the spider spirits.

The child ignored them, sneered, retracted all the spider threads, closed the door and left.
It left, leaving only a dozen girls in the cave.

"These beasts..."
Someone choked and said, "What should we do?"

"Six more this time."
Another woman sighed: "Do you know..."
Before she finished speaking, the woman raised her voice: "Mom, sister?!"

Shen Liushuang briefly recalled that among the sacrifices offered this time, the only one who could be called "mother" was the mother-in-law of the Li family she played.
So the one who spoke out was the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Zhihua.

Some of the new women have woken up.
Unexpectedly, the Qionglou Yuyu was unprepared to see such an extremely dilapidated cave. The girl was at a loss at first, and then she screamed: "Where is this?"

When the time was right, Shen Liushuang opened her eyes and pretended to be shocked: "What is this place?"

She had no intention of exposing her identity as Zhenesi too early.

As soon as the toxin of the "divine wine" was not gone, it was difficult for her to even stand up, and no one could beat her.
Secondly, Lianxian is extremely vigilant. If surveillance is placed in the cave and her and Liu Rutang's identities are exposed, everything will be over.

Before you can find out the details, the best way is to pretend to be dumbfounded.

"Everyone has been deceived by evil spirits."
The girl who just yelled at the spider spirit gritted her teeth and said, "Were you also sent here by your family? Or were you kidnapped like Feng Lu?"

Seeing that she was about to curse evil spirits again, another girl pressed her shoulder: "Liu Cui, calm down."

Liucui, Zhao Liucui.
The daughter of the Zhao family, who has learned cooking and female celebrity from her mother since she was a child, is being arranged to get married.

"Feng Lu, you are the only one with a good temper."
Zhao Liucui scratched his hair randomly: "They have harmed so many people, I... I can't be angry."

Hearing the familiar name again, Shen Liushuang calmed down.

Zhao Liucui is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a plain appearance, a pair of very dark and thick eyebrows, and long hair randomly pulled into a loose bun. She looks free and easy.
Feng Lu is only 15 years old, with clear eyes, a round nose, thin lips, and small freckles on her cheeks.

Characters who had only appeared in dialogues came to her in circles, extremely real and vivid.

"Mom, why did you bring your sister here?"
Li Zhihua was furious: "It's really——"

"I am not just expressing gratitude for the kindness of the Lotus Fairy Queen," Shen Liushuang sneered, "Do you want to become an immortal with you?"

"So, the Lotus Fairy Queen is fake?"
The new girl's face was pale and she could not accept the truth: "What is this place? What does it want to do by locking us here?"

"The so-called Lotus Immortal is just a shell created by the demon."
Li Zhihua said solemnly: "We can't tell exactly what it is, but... it eats people."

The girl shuddered.

"Every day, it comes here and takes away one or two people."
Li Zhihua pointed to the blood stains beside the door: "Did you see it?"

The blood solidified and spattered in large areas, varying shades.
Shen Liushuang's eyes darkened.

This shows that more than one woman was killed here more than once.

"how come……"
After staring blankly at the door for a long time, the girl burst into tears: "How could this happen? I want to go home..."

An older, middle-aged woman with red eyes gently held her in her arms and whispered comfort.

"You were thrown to the ground, your skin was broken and bleeding, right?"
Feng Lu lowered his head and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms: "This is medicine for wounds. You can rub it on."

Seemingly a little surprised, she paused and added in a low voice: "I made the medicine myself, and the effect is not very good."

The Feng family and his wife said that Feng Lu wanted to become a doctor.

The porcelain vase in her hand was dark, old and slightly mottled, far less refined than Yan Qinghuan's white jade vase. It was held tightly by the girl's immature right hand, and a few shallow cracks were reflected in the candlelight.

Chen Liushuang's heart softened and she took it carefully: "Thank you."

"Actually...you don't have to be too sad, we still have a chance."

Unscrew the porcelain bottle, and the light fragrance pours into the nose.
Shen Liushuang was stunned: "What?"

"Isn't there a worship ceremony today? The guards will be loose and there will be an opportunity."
Feng Lu looked at her steadily and lowered his voice: "We plan to escape."

"Stay here and die, instead of being eaten by evil spirits-"
Zhao Liucui glanced sideways and raised his eyebrows: "It's better to give it a last try on your own. Even if you die, you won't regret it so much. Don't you think so?"
