Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 316 Departure
As if a basin of cold water had been poured on my body, my whole body was terrified, but then the eyes disappeared in the darkness again.

I raised my sword and rushed over, but when I ran to the place where the eyes appeared just now, I didn't find anything. Everything just now was like an illusion.

"Chen Zixuan, what's wrong with you?" Cai Yawen was startled by my strange movements, and looked at me with a puzzled expression.

My eyes were wide open, and I observed the surroundings carefully using the technique of gazing at the qi. There was a faint ghostly aura permeating the surroundings, and it would be difficult to find it if I didn't look carefully.

"Who was that just now?"

I whispered to myself, but I didn't take it seriously, after all, I have seen many ghosts and things, so I am not afraid.I secretly guessed that it might be that the nearby ghosts were attracted by Long Zhu's eyes, and we found out that they were spying in the dark just now.

"It's nothing."

I said to Cai Yawen, and then softly comforted Longzhu, she also saw these things often since she was a child, so she was not very scared.

Next, the Cai family put Cai Zhongyong, who had already surrendered, into a special coffin. It's too weird, you have to be more careful.

After Cai Yawen argued with Cai Zhongtang, Cai Zhongtang finally couldn't hold back Cai Yawen, so he had no choice but to agree to let her explore the ancient site that was most likely to be Qu Shangcheng.

"In the past two days, I need to arrange the manpower and supplies to go to Qushangcheng. You should stay here for a few days. If you need anything, you can tell me, or tell the third child directly."

Cai Yawen whispered to me, and at the same time turned to the third child and said, "Third child, you will be by the two guests these few days and take good care of them."

After Cai Yawen finished speaking, she greeted us and hurried out with Cai Zhongtang. It seemed that they had something urgent to do.

"Mr. Chen, Miss Longzhu, please come with me."

The third child said respectfully to me and took us to the guest room.On the way, I chatted with him and learned a lot of information. Recently, the Cai family suffered a series of accidents. When Cai Zhongyong became a zombie, besides Mrs. Cai, he also killed several core members of the Cai family, including Cai Yawen's elder brother .Now that the talents of the Cai family are withered, and they are continuously being attacked by competitors in business, it can be said that they are in a state of desperation.

I sighed, apart from expressing some sympathy, there was nothing I could do about what happened to the Cai family. After all, I didn't understand business matters.

Longzhu and I were placed in two adjacent rooms, I entered the room and locked the door, and then said softly: "Xue'er, I was in the basement just now, I seem to know the changes in Cai Zhongyong from what you said ?”

Xue'er responded: "It's just some guesses, and I can't be completely sure. All this will not be clear until you go to Qushangcheng."

I whispered: "Are you so sure that that place is Quxia City in the ancient Shu Kingdom?"

"You'll know when you go." Xue'er said lightly, then fell silent.

……

Time flies, time changes.

About three or four days later, Cai Yawen arranged some family affairs, and after making all the preparations, she took us to Shuangliu.

Shuangliu is located more than ten kilometers southwest of CD City. It is a well-known international airport in the whole of China. It is said that it has been built as a military airport during the Republic of China. In the following decades, it has experienced several large-scale airports. With the expansion of the city, the flow of people is very huge, and the whole city is relatively prosperous.

The specific location we are going to is in Muma Mountain at the junction of Shuangliu County and Xinjin County. In fact, there have always been legends about Qushang City in the mouths of the people in this area, but because the government has not carried out large-scale archaeological operations, So the exact situation can only be speculated.

Nearly two hours later, the convoy stopped in a small farm yard.I took Long Zhu out of the car and looked around.

In addition to me and Longzhu, there are nine people from the Cai family this time, including Cai Yawen and Cai Zhongtang, and five of the remaining seven are subordinates of the Cai family. Tools, led by the third child.What really caught my attention was the last two people, one old and one young, I also knew the young one, it was Liu Zelong who used illusion to make me suffer so much at Chong'er Temple, and the other was a long-bearded The fluttering old man, with his ruddy skin and piercing eyes, is a capable person at first glance.

This is Liu Zelong's master!

I couldn't help but take another look at this master of illusion, and I was secretly vigilant in my heart. Illusion is very difficult to deal with, and I will fall into it if I am not careful.And the old man in front of him is one of the best.After what happened in Chong'er Temple last time, I asked Master about Liu Zelong. After pondering for a while, Master speculated that Liu Zelong's master is most likely Wang Yifeng, a famous master of illusion in the Sichuan practice circle!
The name Wang Yifeng is very popular in the ears of the older generation of practitioners. According to the master, this Wang Yifeng is also known as the smiling tiger, because he always smiles at others regardless of his own happiness or anger, but in fact he has a vicious heart. The first-hand illusion is even more superb, and it can make life worse than death while talking and laughing.I heard that in the early years, some Taoist priests from Mount Longhu who traveled to Sichuan annoyed Wang Yifeng for some reason. As a result, they were trapped by illusion for a whole month, and finally turned into several mummified corpses by the sun. The man was sent back to Longhu Mountain, which caused an uproar in the practice circle at that time.

"Little brother seems to care a lot about this old man." The long-bearded old man noticed my gaze and looked at me with a smile on his face.

My heart was awe-inspiring, and I hurriedly cupped my hands and said: "I heard Master say about Master Wang's reputation before, but seeing him today is really extraordinary."

"Oh, who is your master?" Wang Yifeng said.

Before I could answer, Liu Zelong leaned close to Wang Yifeng's ear and whispered, "Master, he is Jiang Chengdao's disciple in Qingcheng Mountain. I told you last time that my target was him when I helped the Cai family."

Wang Yifeng's complexion changed a few times, and he said to me: "Hehe, it turned out to be Jiang Chengdao's apprentice. I also had some friendship with your master back then, but now you are of the same generation as Zelong, you two should be close."

I saw Wang Yifeng's words were affectionate, but his eyes were a little cold, so I couldn't help but feel vigilant in my heart. When I entered the ruins of Qushangcheng, I had to be more careful with him.

At this moment, Cai Yawen had already equipped things, and then notified us that we were ready to go.

"Long Zhu, follow me later, don't run around." I said to my little apprentice, originally I didn't want to take her into Qu Shangcheng this time, after all, it might be dangerous down here, but If she stays on the ground, it is not reassuring, especially in the middle of the night, if the ghosts attracted by her are seen by ordinary people, there may be troubles.

"Master, don't worry, Long Zhu will be obedient." Long Zhu said softly, pulling the corner of my clothes.

Everyone moved forward quickly along the mountain road. Cai Zhongyong and the others entered the underground hole in a farmland two kilometers away.At that time, the farmers who were farming dug up many bronze statues in the shape of Zongmuren in their own fields. The peripheral members of the group heard that, after purchasing the statues from the farmers, they judged that there might be tombs from the ancient Shu Kingdom buried under the farmland there.He reported to the Cai family headquarters, but he did not expect to arouse the interest of the old family owner Cai Zhongyong, and finally the following things happened.

"The vicissitudes of life... I remember that this place used to be a village..." Xue'er's faint sigh echoed in my head, which made me wake up suddenly.

I couldn't help asking: "Xue'er, tell me if you have been here before, and is there any secret buried in Qu Shangcheng below?"

To my questioning, Xue'er didn't answer at all, and after she sighed, she fell silent, as if disappearing.

Just when I was full of helplessness, the team finally arrived at the destination.Here is a stretch of farmland, because of the relationship after the autumn harvest, the surrounding area is bare, and no one is seen working.

In a corner in front of us, there is a pile of straw piled here, under the straw is the entrance to the ground...
