My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Late at night, Lu Xuan was meditating and exercising his Qi when the door suddenly rang.

"Brother, something happened!" Yang Chong's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xuan frowned, stood up, opened the door, and looked at Yang Chong.

"None of the brothers who were sent out have returned yet!" Yang Chong said solemnly.

"Come in and talk!" Lu Xuan led the person into the house and frowned: "What's going on?"

"I sent a total of ten people, in teams of two, to investigate along the road. If there is any movement, report immediately. If not, come back before dark. It's almost midnight now, but no one has come back! "When Yang Chong said this, his face looked a little ugly.

"Tell the brothers to get together and stop running around. I'll go out and take a look." Lu Xuan stood up. These brothers are not weak, and they don't get together. They can kill people silently. They have already It belongs to extraordinary power.

"We've asked them to get together, I'll go with you!" Yang Chong also followed.

The two of them immediately went out and headed straight out of the city.

An hour later, outside the city gate.

"Brother, what's going on? Are you back here again!? A ghost beating the wall?" Yang Chong looked at the city in front of him in shock. It looked like a normal city during the day, but it was extremely gloomy at night, with more than three thousand people living there. There are several houses, but it is as quiet as a dead city.

But the most important thing is that they are obviously running in the opposite direction.

"Formation!" Lu Xuan rubbed his temples. After staying among the mortals for so long, he almost forgot that this world is actually a world with a high limit.

"Array? Brother, can you break it?" Yang Chong looked at Lu Xuan expectantly.

"I learned all my internal skills from you." Lu Xuan gave him a helpless look, but Chenzi Dan was not at home now, so he had no place to ask.

"Then what should we do now?" Yang Chong asked dejectedly.

"Since they don't want us to leave, let's go back. It's best to find the old county magistrate." Lu Xuan also encountered this kind of thing for the first time. This should belong to the scope of cultivation. He thought that he would follow those cultivators in the future. I encountered it, but I didn’t expect to encounter it so soon.

This was obviously beyond Lu Xuan's cognitive scope. He could only wait for the old Taoist to come back and see if there was anything he could do.

The two of them crossed the city wall directly and entered the city. However, the city was still empty when they left. When they returned, the only main road was already crowded with people.

But the strange thing is that so many people gathered together without making a sound. They were like puppets on strings, holding white candles and mechanically walking around the city on a specific trajectory.

"Brother, this..." Yang Chong felt his scalp was numb. When he saw these people during the day, he felt that they were a little weak in energy and blood, and their eyes were too dull. But at night, under the white candle's seal, they were like lonely souls. It's like a ghost wandering around the city. This scene is really scary.

Lu Xuan didn't say anything. He jumped up to the roof and walked in the direction of these people. He had always been bold. When encountering such a thing, it was not his style to stay still. He wanted to see what happened. What's going on?

Following the direction of these people's movements, Lu Xuan did not deliberately hide his figure, and finally came to the county government office!

He jumped up and landed on the eaves of the county government hall. In the courtyard in front of the hall, a bloody tripod stood in the center. A sharp dagger hung above the tripod. People who walked around the tripod would place their hands on the dagger. Just wipe it and let the blood fall into the cauldron along the tip of the knife.

People who have donated blood will leave on their own and return to their homes, still looking numb, as if they feel no pain.

"No wonder the people here are all exhausted." Yang Chong came to Lu Xuan. Looking at this strange scene, he felt a little cold in his heart: "Brother, aren't we hiding?"

"With such a large formation, we should be higher-level monks. Every move we make may be right under their noses. There is no point in hiding!" Lu Xuan shook his head and sighed: "Let's go back."

The only one who can help now is the old Taoist priest. Lu Xuan does not expect to kill the people behind him, he only hopes to escape from here with them.

Back at his residence, Lu Xuan sent Yang Chong to rest, while he continued to meditate and practice his Qi. At the same time, he also waited for the old Taoist to come back to see if he had any solution.

It was almost dawn here, but on the other side of the starry sky, Dan Chenzi came back, and it seemed like it was still dusk over there.

"Senior, something happened!" Mao Xuan sat at the door with five big characters on his forehead, looking at Minister Dan eagerly.

"What's wrong?" Dan Chenzi sat down, with a look of sadness on his face that he couldn't even hide.

"Senior seems to be in trouble?" Mao Xuan asked curiously using barrage.

"I told you that you can't help, just talk about it. I may have to count on you for the rest of my life!" The old man shook his head dejectedly.

At this time, it was actually best not to disturb others, but the situation was a bit critical at the moment, and Mao Xuan couldn't care less. He immediately replayed what he had experienced tonight in front of Lao Dao using the method of imaging.

"What you encountered before was the Mysterious Formation. Although there are slight differences, this crude formation is similar wherever it is placed. But what did he use to set up the formation?" Dan Chenzi frowned, stroking his beard.

"Isn't it using spirit stones?" Mao Xuan remembered what the old Taoist told him.

"This formation method is actually the same as practice. People absorb the energy of heaven and earth, and it is tempered through the meridians and eventually returns to the Dantian, or is used to temper the body. Different exercise routes have different effects. Just like you who practice martial arts, you have The true energy cultivated by some techniques is inherently sharp, and some are extremely hot. The attack techniques adapted to these techniques are also different, but one thing remains unchanged, which is the need to absorb the spiritual energy of the outside world."

"No matter what Tao you practice, you must constantly absorb power. The same is true for this formation. Some formations can operate on their own, which has the effect of gathering spirits. But even so, something needs to be used to control its flow. , the human body controls the meridians, and the formation does not have this, so it needs help from external objects."

"The most common ones are spirit stones. You can also use your own true energy to form an array, or some spiritual objects, such as magic weapons and spiritual weapons. If you have the ability, you can use fairy weapons. Among them, spirit stones are the most common and most common. It’s easy to obtain. Although I can’t feel it personally, it’s full of evil and doesn’t have the refreshing feeling of a spiritual stone, so it shouldn’t be a spiritual stone.”

"What are they doing?" Mao Xuan put the screen on the tripod.

"Blood sacrifice!" The old Taoist glanced at it and said disdainfully: "There must be some evil cultivator nearby, using secret methods to control these mortals and let them provide him with blood food. This person is quite smart. You should not feel the existence of luck here. ?”

Lu Xuan nodded. The Guiyi Sect has a great influence. Its followers are all over Jiuzhou. Even in the city of the imperial court, you can feel a trace of the Guiyi Sect's luck.

But here in Xizhuang, he couldn't feel anything at all. He thought it was because it was isolated from the world and didn't know about the existence of the Guiyi Sect, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"Senior, how should I get out?" Mao Xuan asked.

He doesn't care about the evil cultivators here for the time being. His current goal is to wipe out Sun Fang's men and completely control Shangyang County. The evil cultivators can be discussed later.

"It's not difficult to guide you out alone." Dan Chenzi said nonchalantly.

"I mean breaking the formation!" Mao Xuan quickly changed the barrage.
