Chang'an Catching Demons

Chapter 5

Lin Yu sacrificed the peach wood sword, and the red light of the sword suddenly appeared, and he stood back to back in front of the cave with Chen Feng. Although Su Yao's heart was tight, she also clenched the dagger she carried with her, and her fingertips turned white because of the force.

"Hove the hole and don't let them out!" Lin Yu shouted in a low voice, stacked the three charms together, and recited words in his mouth. The charm soared into the air and turned into a golden wall of light at the entrance of the cave. As soon as it was formed, it was hit hard by the things inside. The wall of light shook violently and rippled.

"What a strong demon!" Chen Fenghu's mouth was numb, "What is hidden here is not an ordinary little demon!"

Before the words were finished, a furry claw broke through the light wall, and the tip of the claw was black and smelled rotten. Lin Yu swung his sword and slashed it. The peach wood sword cut on the claws, and a string of Mars splashed. The claw retracted in pain, and a grumpy roar came from the hole. Then, more claws and shadows hit the light wall. The golden light was great, but it gradually thinned.

"I can't stand it like this!" Su Yao said urgently, "I'm going to help the soldiers?"

"It's too late." Lin Yu took out the copper bell from the cloth bag and said, "Chen Feng, help me fight for a moment!"

Chen Feng was away and swung the knife to the shadows of the claws. The light of the knife collided with the demon gas, making a dull sound. Lin Yu pinched the copper bell, bit the tip of his tongue, and sprayed all his blood on the bell. Take my blood as a guide, summon the power of the final southern ancestor, Zhen!"

The bronze bell suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light, and the sound of the bell was no longer clear, but like a flood of bells, shaking the dust on the beams of the temple. The white light poured in along the entrance of the cave, and the roar in the hole became sad in an instant, and the shadows of the claws that hit the light wall also retracted one after another.

The light wall gradually stabilized. Lin Yu took the opportunity to insert the peach wood sword into the edge of the hole. The charm on the sword spread along the soil, forming a huge eight-figure array on the ground. This formation can trap them temporarily, but it won't last long. He gasped and his face was as pale as paper. "This demon hole is connected to the underground veins. I'm afraid that the things inside have become climate."

Chen Feng looked at the constantly squirming hole and locked his eyebrows: "Western totems, yin vein demon caves... There must be a big conspiracy behind this." He remembered the secret message of Jin Wuwei's barracks a few days ago, "Could it have anything to do with the people who manipulated Jin Wuwei?"

Lin Yu picked up the sheepskin scroll, and the symbols on the scroll gradually revealed the veins in the light, which faintly coincided with the outline of the demon cave. This is not a totem, but an array map. His fingertips crossed the symbol, "Someone is using the yin qi of the demon hole to urge some kind of forbidden art."

Su Yao suddenly pointed to the wall of the cave: "Look!"

On the wall that had just been cracked, a dark red liquid seeped out, flowing down the bricks and stones, converging into distorted words on the ground - "Blood Sacrifice Chongyang".

"Chongyang?" Chen Feng was stunned, "In three days, it will be the Chongyang Festival."

Lin Yu's heart sank: "The yang qi is the most prosperous, but it is also the node of yin and yang alternation. If the blood sacrifice is carried out with the yin qi of the demon cave at this time, I'm afraid it will cause an imbalance of yin and yang, and the demons in Chang'an City will lose control at that time.

He put away the sheepskin scroll and the magic book: "This array should be given to those who know how to do it. I know an old man who lives in seclusion in Dongming Temple, and maybe he can see the way in it.

As soon as the three of them walked out of the land temple, they saw a group of people rushing from the official road in the distance, led by the governor of Jingzhao. It turned out that Chen Feng had already been prepared and asked people to report to the government when he came.

"Taoist Lin," the governor turned over and got off his horse with a solemn expression. "This matter is not a small matter. It needs to be reported to the imperial court immediately. It's just this demon hole..."

"I have set up the formation, and there will be no problem within three days." Lin Yu said, "But after three days, we must find a way to break the formation."

The governor nodded in response, immediately ordered someone to block the land temple, and sent a hundred soldiers to guard around.

On the way back to the city, the twilight is getting darker. Su Yao looked at Lin Yu's pale face and took out a piece of osmanthus cake from her arms: "Let's cushion it first. You're tired."

Lin Yu took the pastry and was about to say thank you, when the copper bell suddenly rang again. This time, the bell was urgent and sharp, as if warning. He looked up in the direction of the imperial city and saw that there was a faint black cloud above the Ziwei Palace, and there was a faint thunder flashing in the cloud.

"That's not good!" Lin Yu whispered, "The matter of the demon cave has not been solved yet, and something has happened in the palace again!"

Chen Feng strangled the reins of the horse and said solemnly: "I just received the news that Your Majesty invited the ministers to the imperial garden today. Suddenly, he fell into a coma during the banquet. The eunuch doctor was helpless and said that he had been evil."

The three of them looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. Demon hole, forbidden art, evil in the palace... These strange things, like an invisible net, are tightening towards the heart of Chang'an City.

Lin Yu held the copper bell in his hand, and the temperature of the bell was getting higher and higher. He knew that the next three days would be the key to the fate of Chang'an. And the black hand hidden in the dark will finally show its fangs on a sunny day.
