1110 Shrine

d earth are boundless in their creation, but—"His tone was firm and resolute, brooking no contradiction."Here," he pointed at his feet, "This is our country, a society with laws and government. It's n...The terrain here has already changed, and some sacrificial sites commonly found between villages have been buried by sand and silt. 。For example, the small shrines to the Land God that were common at the village entrances have all disappeared. 。The shrine erected beneath this dangerous wall doesn't enshrine deities, but rather the deceased relatives and ancestors. 。But the scene here was too eerie. 。Around the round table were several chairs, with three bodies starting to decay sitting in them, their postures consistent as they lay face down on the table. 。It seems like a family was having a meal and then an earthquake struck, causing the collapsing bricks and tiles to kill them. 。The table was indeed piled high with bricks and tiles, probably some of them having fallen during the aftershocks, revealing the heads of these three corpses. 。The earthquake happened several days ago, half the village was buried, and there were no survivors. Now that it is shrouded in an enchantment, the outside world can't be seen. 。Even villagers who went out to work knew only the tragic news that a landslide had buried their entire village. 。No one has the ability to collect the bodies. These exposed bones and spirits are unknown where they have gone, perhaps hiding and wandering in the ruined villages. 。After going through these two natural disasters, I finally understand why the elderly's passing is called a happy event. 。In some places, customs and traditions require a farewell with drums and cymbals. 。Because one can live a peaceful life until old age and death, it is already considered the greatest joy in a person's lifetime. 。There are too many misfortunes and accidents in life. It's already not easy to walk through life safely. 。Looking at these three bodies, it seems they were sitting together eating when something went wrong. They didn't even have time to escape. 。But something felt off. The shrine behind the corpse hadn't been knocked over "I'll go take a look, don't touch anything." 。Mu Wanchen reminded her of something. 。He nimbly jumped down from the earthen slope where we were standing, his azure soul lamp leaving a light behind us. 。"He still does everything himself... Sigh, he should learn from Jiang Qiyun. Jiang Qiyun often delegates tasks to his subordinates..." The young wife whispered to me. 。This is different, Master's subordinates are all officials of the underworld who know what to do and what not to do. But Mu Wanchen brought a large group of people who need his care. He has to do many things himself, and even when he has nothing to do, he needs to show his face in front of the people to reassure them. 。"You've been working hard too..." The little wife reached out her hand with pity and rubbed my head. 。"...Nothing..." 。"When helping one's husband, how can one say it is hard work One should take pleasure in doing so." 。"Managing so many people's trivial matters is very laborious. Since you are pregnant, you should learn to take it easy and not overthink things, as it can be harmful to your body." 。"My little wife looked at me with worry: “If there's anything, we'll do our best to help. It's within our duty anyway.” 。The balance between the two realms of yin and yang, as well as the Shen family's position in this circle, or even Master Yun Fan's clearing of the lines that transported things abroad, seem to be non-conflicting and converge together. 。The only thing Mu Wanchen and I had to rack our brains about was the survival issue of these people within the legal framework. 。While I was whispering with my young mistress, I kept my eyes on Mu Wanchen. 。The soul lamp beside him silently circled around, illuminating a small area. I vaguely saw some black mist rising from the ground, like tentacles trying to wrap around his body. 。"This black mist is not right... It's like something's underneath the ground," I frowned and asked. 。It might be the cracks between the two worlds that seep out… this is probably where the eye of the formation lies, it hasn't formed its own climate yet. 。“The young mistress’s tone was as calm as possible, but Xiao Nie betrayed her.” 。"

Little Nian shook his head: "Don't pull my fur! What are you so nervous about before I'm even grown up"

"Uh, sorry, sorry"

"The young mistress quickly loosened her grip and stroked the fur on its neck." 。I looked at the three corpses lying on the ground, and the shrine placed against the wall behind them. I asked suspiciously, "Are these all part of an array""Probably...Actually, I'm just a half-baked..." 。The little wife stuck out her tongue. 。"No way, you're still a half-hearted one Then I must be completely out of the loop." 。" Really, compared to them, anything we mortals do is just half-baked. So I don't aspire to be better, I just honestly do my homework every day, accumulate good deeds, and be kind. I'm too lazy to struggle anymore. " 。The little wife smiled. 。The young wife's temperament and attitude are truly good. She is the wife of the Emperor, but she doesn't have any arrogance or overstepping boundaries. She still treats people with a calm and peaceful attitude. 。Mu Wanchen pulled out a special pair of gloves from behind his waist. They were probably essential items for anyone who raised venomous insects—they were poisonproof. 。He pushed over three corpses that were already beginning to show signs of giantism, not knowing what he had found, he shook his head and walked towards the shrine. 。Soon, he returned after finishing his investigation, removed his gloves, and frowned: "This should be a premeditated death. Probably before the earthquake, these three were poisoned - their whole faces were black, they must have been bitten by some kind of poison." 。"That shrine... is no longer in its original place, it's a phantom. Its physical form is probably hidden in another realm. I suspect that shrine is an artifact of refinement." 。"In Taoism, the number three can be understood as the number that 'gives birth to all things'. The saying goes: Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. " 。It is possible that the initial formation of this magic circle here was due to the three corpses' spirits being absorbed by the altar. 。 "These black mists also originated from that shrine, seeping out from under the altar..." Before Mu Wanchen could finish his sentence, a faint "click" suddenly echoed behind him. The sound was extremely small and subtle, but to my ears, it seemed incredibly loud. Goosebumps immediately erupted all over me. 。"...Didn't you loosen those bricks when you were examining the body just now" I asked cautiously. 。Mu Wanchen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked over there, sneering: “How is that possible In a place where the stench of decay is so pervasive, how could there be no surprises” As soon as the words left his mouth, a pair of glowing green eyes appeared from behind the crumbling wall, staring at us. 。There shouldn't be any living beings here, only the dead that refuse to die. 。Mu Wanchen pinched a tactic with one hand and held a talisman in the other. 。

The little wife was so nervous that she started to tug at Xiao Nie's fur again. Xiao Nie shook his head impatiently and said, "Just anything will do, hurry up and get it over with and go back. Investigate if you need to, just report back to the Emperor when you're done." 。"Shouldn't the underworld know what's going on here Wouldn't it be clearer if they sent ghosts to investigate" I asked curiously. 。"You're stupid, didn't I say that no god is willing to get involved with this chaotic energy from other realms Sending ordinary ghost officials would be worried about their cultivation not being enough and getting devoured, so you guys coming is the best..." 。“It’s only because the little empress wanted to come that I would even consider coming to such a place,” Xiao Nie said arrogantly. 。I clutched Mu Wanchen's sleeve and whispered, "Are there ghosts or zombies behind that wall" a dark green light."...Of course, not locked... Be careful... He's coming..." he muttered, his whole body suddenly trembling!My ring suddenly emitted a burst of red light, forcing Long Xiaogē to retr...
