Chapter 27 The Betrayed

New Town.

Ruan Zhan sat in the room on the top of the tower, moving like a statue. On the surface, he was continuing to recuperate, but in fact he was waiting for an opportunity and trying his best to reduce the loss of spiritual energy in his body.

This tower is really magical. As long as it does not belong to the normal power of human beings, as long as you stay in the tower for a long time, it will inevitably weaken slowly, silently and unconsciously, making people feel as if electricity is introduced into the ground until it completely disappears!

The person who designed this tower did not know whether his magic power was profound, but his Qimen Dunjia and the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams were really amazing. He could generate such a large amount of energy by just relying on the direction and the formations hidden in the building, and with some simple magic weapons!

If it weren't for this tower, he wouldn't have lifted Sima Nanshi's seal on him so quickly, but shortly after his spiritual energy was restored, it would also inevitably decay.

Those vengeful spirits understood the magic of this tower, but they didn't know that Ruan Zhan had been sealed by Sima Nan before, so they saw that Ruan Zhan's ability did not disappear, but instead increased. They thought he was not controlled by this tower, so they became afraid of him and never attacked him.

The resentful spirit pretending to be Xiao Xia could not stay in the tower for a long time, so when Ruan Zhan entered the dark room on the top of the tower again to rest, she slipped outside the tower. She thought that Ruan Zhan was hiding in the dark room and not coming out, and she must be trying her best to restore her vision. But Ruan Zhan was waiting for her to leave, and then she looked around and found the place where the tower that could suppress the spirit was destroyed by Sima Nan, repair it, and make it a place where it "takes in" the resentful spirits and suppresses resentment.

The dark room on the top of the tower is round and empty, but there is a circle of extremely narrow glass windows on the walls on all sides, even on the door that is specially left for easy access. From the inside, it seems that the tower is half open and half closed. Ruan Zhan’s feeling is: this dark room gathers the highest energy of the tower and emits outward from the small window, forming an invisible aura that covers the entire top of the tower. Staying inside the tower can only cause all kinds of spiritual energy to disappear. What really suppresses the resentful spirits and makes them unable to get out is precisely because of the energy shrouded on the top.

If you feel the aura of this spirit-suppressing spirit carefully now, you will find that its energy is not so balanced, as if it has tilted a little to one side. Although there is only this small change, it seems like the lid of a box is opened in a gap, allowing the resentful spirits to run out of the gap!

Where was it destroyed?

With Sima Nan's personality, he must have built a large-scale construction and transformed the architectural structure. He liked to win by ingenuity and liked the arrogance and chic feeling. Therefore, there must be a small place in this tower that was different from when it was built, but it prompted a fundamental change in the entire spiritual formation!

Thinking of this, Ruan Zhan drew a talisman with a hidden gesture, and silently recited a few spells, then got up and left the dark room. When he walked to the door, he turned around and looked at it. Seeing that his body was still in place, Xiao Xia's amulet was hanging on his chest, he was sure that those resentful spirits who took the risk of monitoring him could not see any flaws before they passed through the wall.

He had no choice but to choose to leave his soul. No one here guarded his body for him, so he took a certain risk!

Although the aura covered by the top of the tower was destroyed, because the dark room was at the top, the resentful spirits could not enter. However, they could lie by the window to monitor, which made him have to create some illusion. In addition, he did not know how to penetrate the wall, so he could only use this trick.

The biggest benefit of doing this is that as long as he even hides the breath of his soul, he can avoid all the eyes and ears and actions freely, and can also pass through all substantial obstacles!

In addition, the resentful spirits here are not as strong as ordinary. Not only are they more resentful, but they also have a large number. The most terrifying thing is that they obviously have a leader, who is probably the one who occupies Xiao Xia's body. Her resentment can be maintained in the tower for a while, which proves that her resentment is not ordinary, and may even have been through years of cultivation. Moreover, she has considerable organizational power to organize those resentment together and exert her greatest strength.

Therefore, what he is facing now is not the problem of resentful spirits, but a small resentful spirit army.

He walked down the top floor, stopped on the eighth floor, and couldn't help looking at the glass cabinet beside the wall. He saw that the little porcelain doll with Xiao Xia's cute face was turned around at an angle and facing the wall. He knew that it was not what Xiao Xia wanted to reverse, and it must be the resentful spirit who occupied her body who was afraid that he would find this change after he recovered his vision, so he did so.

She is so cautious, but unfortunately there is something in this world that smartness is just mistaken for being smart!

Sima Nan thought that sealing his abilities would make him unable to move in the empty town, but he did not expect that the sealed talisman would block the tower's absorption of spiritual energy for him, so that his own spiritual energy would be avoided from rapid loss; the resentful spirit thought that occupying Xiao Xia's body would confuse him, but he did not know that his vision had long been restored and his mind was in touch with Xiao Xia, so he had known everything long ago, and now he had to use the trick in turn!

He suppressed the urge to put Xiao Xia's small porcelain statue in his arms and focused his mind on finding the destruction point. When he entered the tower, his eyes couldn't see it. Although he had just come down, he pretended that his eyes had not recovered and his eyes could not move at all, so he was careful to observe the surroundings.

The eighth floor is still round, but the layout is relatively normal, with two large windows on both sides of the east and west. However, now the outside is covered with thick fog, and the view outside the window cannot be seen. Considering that the tower is so high in the center of the town, it should be able to overlook the whole town and is the best place to have a view.

Apart from those two windows, there are only a few large glass cabinets on this floor. There are various small porcelain men in the cabinet, probably for the purpose of collecting dead evil spirits. The appearance of this tower is built into a temple tower, and residents should be brought in to the town after they are moved to the place where they should go. The pious incense here is also used to pray for them. It can be seen that the people who designed and built the tower felt a little guilty towards these resentful spirits.

Could he be one of the culprits of today's situation? Who is he?

Ruan Zhan couldn't help but look at the cabinet again, and then his eyes were attracted by a gossip on the ground. The gossip was embedded in the ground, made of bamboo. I don't know how to deal with it. The bamboo pieces were shiny in black and shiny, and it was really not easy to find in a dark room.

Ruan Zhan walked over and looked down. He felt that there was a little spiritual power hidden on the bamboo piece. Although it was not big, it was enough to make the figure extraordinary. However, the figure now had some small changes, and there was a small corner that was not easy to detect, which made the Bagua diagram unable to be fully formed.

When I looked up, I saw that there was a similar Bagua shape on the ceiling of this floor, which echoed the ground, and a small part was also damaged, but the damaged part was different from the one on the ground.

"He really had a good move, he ate it all!" Ruan Zhan rebuked coldly in his heart, remembering that in the Luohua Cave Girl incident, Sima Nan had inadvertently destroyed the stone gossip at the gate of the "Woman Flower" entertainment city. It was just a little change, but it turned the spirit objects that exorcized evil into something that caused evil.

Bagua is the most yang thing in the world. Although it seems to be just a figure and there is no difference in the eyes of an outsider, in fact, there cannot be any mistakes in Gan, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui, otherwise it will have nothing to do with it. However, if it is used as part of a formation to drive away evil spirits, it will have no effect and the formation will lose its meaning.

Therefore, Sima Nan did a simple thing, but the destructive effect was the greatest! This was his usual method, always with a little contempt for the world.

The gossip graphics on the ground and roof are different in the damaged areas, so Ruan Zhan carefully identified it, silently remembered it in his heart, and then began to walk downwards.

Looking slowly over layer by layer, Ruan Zhan found that the layout of each floor was similar, but because the tower was conical, the lower the floor was, the larger the floor area. However, regardless of size, each floor was filled with glass cabinets of small porcelain men. However, the small porcelain men below the eighth floor were no longer special. It seemed to be just handicrafts. It described some historical figures and folk legends, but there was no trace of yin energy on it, and it was purely a decoration.

Of course, there is a Bagua shape in the center of the ground on each floor, but there is only one on the ground. There are corresponding Bagua diagrams on the roof, which are only available on the eighth floor. It seems that the pictures on the floor on the ninth floor penetrate to the roof on the eighth floor. Moreover, the size of these Bagua diagrams is opposite to the area of ​​the floor. The larger the floor area, the smaller the Bagua, and the direction is different. In addition, these Bagua diagrams are no longer made of special bamboo pieces, but are similar to invisible figures. They cannot be seen by humans with naked eyes. Only those with spiritual power can see them.

Without exception, every gossip is a little damaged.

In this way, there are eight Bagua diagrams from the second floor to the eighth floor, and the damaged areas are different! In addition, he once counted the little porcelain man on the eighth floor carefully, not including Xiao Xia and others, a total of 173 people, which means that 173 people died at the same time in the unjust case that happened that year! Such a big thing was hidden so much that it was completely hidden. Not to mention other places, even the locals knew only a little about it. This shows how powerful the responsible person was and how high the means!

The first floor is very different from other places. There is no Bagua diagram, only the ground is irregularly facing upside down, with a total of nine bells, and the walls and roofs are painted with Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and gorgeous and sacred. However, the tower is currently filthed by evil spirits, and the solemnity of this place is gone.

Ruan Zhan carefully observed the surroundings, because although he was not very good at the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams of Qimen Dunjia, according to his inference, there is another key point in this formation.

After looking around, I couldn't see anything. The first floor is like a large Buddhist sacred place, without secret doors or secret rooms.

Ruan Zhan thought for a while and felt that he would not speculate and make mistakes. When they ran from the square to the tower, they were walking on a winding path, but they felt that they were always uphill. There were several steps at the gate to the tower. When they rushed in, they almost tripped him. So, the ground on the first floor of the tower was much higher than the horizontal ground outside, which means that it might have an underground floor!

With a goal, it's much easier to do, and he focuses on the floor.

Logically speaking, he is now a soul body and should be able to see through things that humans cannot see through, but he cannot see what is under the floor. It can be seen that the floor has been specially treated and cannot see a large amount of hollowness. He had to apply his spiritual energy to his Yin and Yang eyes. After more than ten seconds, he finally saw a special situation under the ground.

He was happy, and hurriedly concentrated his mind and came to the gap between the big and small bells in the middle of the floor. He could see clearly just now that the undersides of these places were empty, allowing him to penetrate the ground.

Below the floor is a huge basement with an area far exceeding the base of the tower. It is like an underground parking lot. Standing here, looking at the place where you just came down, you find that the gap between the clocks, that is, where you can pass through the ground, forms a strange shape, with a bit of a twitching claws, like a hand pressing on the ground.

Looking at the underground floor, there is also a huge Bagua in the middle of the ground, but its figure is composed of water. It is a Bagua shape dug out on the ground, and the hollow is filled with water.

It should be said that the lake water!

It turns out that this land is flush with the artificial lake surrounding the tower. Because of the principle of physical connectivity, this situation is presented here!

Water is Yin, and this natural water Bagua has a huge effect on the entire tower, but it is also damaged at this time, and it is not damaged a little, but is completely damaged. It is not that someone destroyed the pool, but that many things that should not have been added to the water.

If the gossips upstairs were taken off by someone else, then all of them were added to this water gossip at this moment.

"He is really convenient. He didn't bring anything or anything, but he just took a little from every gossip on the upstairs and added it to this water gossip, which completely destroyed the layout of the tower!" Ruan Zhan didn't know whether he should admire Sima Nan or despise him, but he could take advantage of this kind of opportunity.

But he completely admired Sima Nan's careful thoughts.

He destroyed each gossip in different places, very subtle but most critical, and then threw the removed bamboo pieces and invisible materials on this water gossip, and he tried his best to mess it up. If he hadn't remembered the damage of each gossip from the top level, he still didn't know how to recover!

He leaned over and picked up the things that did not belong here, first restored the function of the water Bagua, and then brought all the extra things on his body, casting spells invisible bamboo pieces, then returned to the ground and restored the function of the Bagua diagram layer by layer. At this time, he felt that there was a miracle in coincidence. If the soul had not left the body, he would not be able to check the damage to the tower with peace of mind, but he would not have discovered and entered the basement.

This basement was sealed when it was built, and the entrances and exits were surrounded by bells with innate qi. The resentful spirits could not see them and could not enter here. Although he didn't know how Sima Nan did it, he could only discover it by chance.

Also, he found that his psychic energy would be quickly restored when he arrived in the basement. This means that as long as he left the normal range in the tower, his psychic energy would not be restricted, which provided a feasible way for him to formulate a decisive battle plan with Sima Nan.

He carefully and patiently repaired the formation in the tower based on his memory, and did not know that when he was in the basement, a figure had quietly walked upstairs. It was not a ghost, but indeed a person!

It's Mao Fu!

"Accident?" Mao Fu moved the little porcelain man like a child playing house, and placed the little porcelain man who had attached to Xiaoxia, Liu Hong, Zhao Jiayuan, Ma and Abai's soul together. The other little porcelain man pushed aside.

"I'm not crazy." He continued proudly, "I'm just pretending to be crazy."

"You are a despicable traitor!" Although Xiaoxia knew that her voice was like a mosquito, she couldn't help but scold her loudly. She hated Mao Fu from the beginning, and felt that there was a sinister aura hidden under his gentle and kind appearance. Unexpectedly, he was even more despicable than she thought.

Unexpectedly, Mao Fu actually heard Xiao Xia's words, but he did not show shame, but was still very proud. "The practitioners are heroes. The situation is obvious now. It is better to help these great immortals do things than to be locked in these porcelains. Do you know? They will not release yours. After your bodies are used, they will be thrown into the lake to feed fish, and your souls will be left here forever, visited, played with, and even bought home by batches of people. Day after day, year after year, not finished. Don't worry, I will see you! Hehehe--"

He tried his best to suppress his laughter, but his expression was extremely excited. He looked particularly weird and terrifying by the empty and dark empty tower!

He said he was not crazy, but Xiao Xia was not sure about his appearance.

"Let me out! Let me out!" Liu Hong cried, "As long as you are willing to let me go, I will not say anything! Please help me! I will repay you. I will give you whatever you want! You can also want my people. Don't you like me?"

Amid Mao Fu's continued laughter, Liu Hong begged bitterly.

Xiao Xia really hates that she can't move at this moment, otherwise she really wants to slap Liu Hong twice! For some reason, when she meets this woman, her violent desire is particularly strong! This is still a woman, she has no self-esteem at all, and her character is so despicable, why are there so many people holding her!

"Where are you?" Mao Fu looked at Xiao Xia and Abai with his eyes slanted.

Xiao Xia didn't know how he knew Ah Bai's soul, maybe he knew about Ah Bai's soul attached to the little porcelain man. But seeing Mao Fu's lewd virtue, although she was just a porcelain doll, she was almost vomiting. Seeing that his dirty hands were about to touch him, he hit the side desperately, causing the "body" that could not move to move for a moment, and almost fell off the shelf.

Mao Fu was startled and subconsciously answered, "Be careful, you will die if you fall down, and you will walk with those great immortals." His face turned pale.

"I'm not afraid." Xiao Xia said stubbornly.

"Aren't you afraid?" Mao Fu smiled angrily, his face was blue and white, and he was really a little hideous and afraid of people. "I'll break it and see."

"You dare not." A Bai, who had not spoken, interrupted, "Your master wants to use Xiao Xia to threaten Ruan Zhan, how can you let it go?" She has always been gentle, and she couldn't help but get angry at this time.

"Nonsense!" Mao Fu looked panicked after being exposed by someone's lie, "I'll just throw her to try it now!"

"Okay, come on!" Xiao Xia shouted in a fire.

Mao Fu stretched out his hand, but stayed by Xiao Xia's side for a long time, but finally didn't catch it. He had to shake his hand and turn it around for a few times, then grabbed Liu Hong's porcelain statue, raised it high, and threw her to the ground with Liu Hong's long scream.

With a "bang" sound, the little porcelain man was smashed to pieces, and a woman's cry came from the ground, and then a transparent small shadow seemed to be sucked into the thick fog outside the tower as if it were involuntarily.

The woman's crying and the fragments on the ground shocked Xiaoxia and Abai. They didn't know that the crying of Liu Hong as humans and Liu Hong as souls was so different. The former was annoying, while the latter was gloomy. Moreover, although Xiaoxia hated Liu Hong, sometimes she couldn't help but say a few harsh words, she didn't think about letting her die, nor did she die so easily, so this sudden scene really scared her!

"How is it? Are you scared?" Mao Fu said proudly.

Xiao Xia was extremely angry in panic. She never thought that how could such a despicable and shameless human beings besides the same human being!

"Why am I afraid of you? You are just a betrayal!"

"Aren't you afraid? OK, I fell Zhao Jiayuan!" He said and reached out to Zhao Jiayuan again.

"No! Mayor Mao!" Zhao Jiayuan was shocked, "Please let me go, stay here forever. You can be happy no matter how you are, just save my life!"

"Don't hurt people!" Xiao Xia screamed in surprise, "It's the same human being, how can you do it? I'm afraid of you, please let him go!"

"Please!" Zhao Jiayuan continued to cry, "Please remember to follow you for so many years, never have a second intention, so I will spare my life! I will continue to serve you, just treat me as your dog! It's just a dog's life."

Mao Fu held Zhao Jiayuan high and hesitated for a moment, as if Zhao Jiayuan's words were a little touched by him. After all, Zhao Jiayuan has always been his lackey. When he pretended to be crazy, he did not leave him and ran away under such a dangerous situation. He was definitely a loyal dog.

Xiao Xia, who was standing beside him, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his calm expression, thinking that Zhao Jiayuan had saved his life for the time being.

Unexpectedly, Mao Fu suddenly changed his face. He waved his arm, raised Zhao Jiayuan higher, and said softly: "You did a good job before, I will take care of your family. Unfortunately, no one can know about my affairs. I can't take risks, and you are useless to me!" After saying that, his wrist shook down, and after a shocking sound, Zhao Jiayuan was also smashed to pieces and his soul was sucked away.

"You are so cruel! You are simply unworthy of being a human being." Seeing two tragedies, Abaiyan's kind heart could not bear it and his voice trembled.

Xiao Xia couldn't speak, but she didn't expect Mao Fu to harm his kind without hesitation. This kind of behavior is worse than that of pigs and dogs. It's hard to imagine that when people are in danger, they can be selfish, despicable, and ugly in order to protect themselves!
