From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 121
It was evening when Henry Zhang bought all the things and returned to Liu’s house. Instead of going to the mourning hall and Huai Bailiu to continue the ritual, he went to the empty yard of the Houfu. The Liu family knew that Henry Zhang wanted to find the people behind the scenes, so He didn't dare to disturb him, but ordered someone to close the gate of the courtyard after delivering the dinner.

The technique of the Kongming Lantern is very cumbersome to prepare, not because it is difficult, but because there are a lot of things that need to be prepared.Take the Kongming lanterns that guide the way as an example: the yellow paper is the leather and the bamboo is the bone, and the red lines connected together are fire.

This Kongming lantern was not bought casually outside, but Henry Zhang had to make it himself. As the saying above, this material must be covered with yellow paper for drawing symbols, and then implicated with red thread soaked in cinnabar.

Henry Zhang folded the Kongming Lantern, took out a brush and dipped it in cinnabar, and began to draw symbols on the yellow Kongming Lantern. The ability of this Kongming Lantern to find people and things depends on these spells.For about half an hour, almost half a person with high ears and Kongming Lantern was finally covered with spells by Henry Zhang. Although the red charms were strange, the Kongming Lantern looked a little better.

Henry Zhang took out a yellow talisman, inspired by spiritual power, the yellow talisman ignited spontaneously without fire, and then Henry Zhang used the yellow talisman to light the fire plate of the rosette of the Kongming lantern, and the heat rose, swelling the Kongming lantern, and then hanging in mid-air.

Henry Zhang released the frozen ghost-headed mantis from the black coffin space at this time. After the ghost-headed mantis was frozen, he could not resist being taken into the black coffin space, so the person who controlled it might have thought that the ghost The first mantis is dead, which is convenient for Henry Zhang to act.

Henry Zhang took out the black bone dagger, held it horizontally, and directly cut off the basketball-sized head of the ghost-headed mantis.Then he split open the head and began to grope inside.

The methods of controlling Gu worms are actually similar, the easiest way is to form a habit through feeding and then use various sounds and smells to control it, this method can also be used by ordinary people, but when the Gu worms become extremely powerful, it is easy to be backlashed. Or turn the host into the gu master and offer blood to the gu worms in exchange for protection.

Obviously, this ghost-headed mantis is as big as a calf, and it certainly cannot be controlled with such a simple method.Then there must be a restriction on it, but I don't know if it is a spell or something else.

After groping for a long time, Henry Zhang found a domino, which was engraved with a spell of unknown specific content. If it did not predict, it must be the key to controlling this ghost-headed mantis.

Henry Zhang put the domino in the palm of his hand, turned the fingers of his left hand into a sword, gathered his spiritual power to condense on the fingertips, and then tapped on the domino, smashed the domino, and then pulled out the breath from it.

With a wave of his fingertips, he threw the blue breath into the Kongming Lantern, and then cut the red thread binding the Kongming Lantern, letting the Kongming Lantern fly in the night sky.

The Kongming Lantern flew higher and higher, but it didn't keep flying up like ordinary Kongming Lanterns. It reached an altitude of about 600 meters. It was suspended in mid-air, and then slowly flew towards the southwest of Qinglin Town as if driven by the wind. past.

Henry Zhang packed up his things and walked out of the yard quickly. When he passed the mourning hall, he saw that Huai Bailiu and the Liu family were all here, and hurriedly said: "You stay here and protect yourself. I will go and see with this Kongming lantern. Can you find the person behind the scenes?"

Several people looked up, and they saw a Kongming lantern flying to the southwest.Liu Zhengyang said: "Master Taoist, be more careful."

Huai Bailiu said: "I'm here, go."

Henry Zhang nodded, and walked out of Liu’s house quickly, but when he reached the door of Liu’s house, he stopped in his tracks. Huai Bailiu was recovering from his injury, and he might not be able to defeat the person behind the scenes. If that person sent the ghost-headed mantis to come again There is no guarantee that something will happen, and it is still uncertain who is behind this scene.

Thinking of this, Henry Zhang released the metamorphic snake minibus, and he said: "Mini bus, go to the smallest size to guard the three of Liu's family."

The metamorphic snake minibus became more than ten centimeters long, and its figure rushed into Liu's house like lightning, and disappeared.Henry Zhang stayed behind, and then followed Kong Mingdeng closely.

The night in Qinglin Town was the same as when Henry Zhang first arrived, empty and empty, only the sound of Henry Zhang’s footsteps echoed in the streets and alleys.

Henry Zhang landed 200 meters behind the Kongming Lantern, and he chased farther and farther away from the center of the town, thinking that he should be able to find the person behind the scenes in this way.

Unexpectedly, suddenly there was a buzzing sound in the sky, the sound was so loud that it seemed that a group of things had come.Henry Zhang’s face changed, and he was careless.This time, the person behind the scene who was looking for with the Kongming lantern was a ghost-headed mantis, which can fly.

He quickly chased after it, and released blood-eating locusts and flying-winged ice silkworms to stop it, but he was a step too late, and watched more than a dozen small basketball-sized ghost-headed praying mantises knock down the Kongming lantern.

Then the dozen or so ghost-headed mantises scattered in a bang, and flew out in all directions. Even if a group of Gu insects intercepted by Henry Zhang, they only killed half of them, and the others disappeared into the night.

Henry Zhang came to the place where the Kongming lantern fell, picked up the Kongming lantern and looked around. This place is already close to the edge of Qinglin Town, and there are not many people living nearby.Henry Zhang was thinking to see if he wanted to overwhelm the blood-eating locusts to investigate the situation.

But there was a signal from the metamorphic snake minibus, and something came to Liu's house, and it was not weak.Henry Zhang said in his heart: "Oops, could it be that he fell into the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain."

Flying and rushing back, it took more than ten minutes to arrive at Liu's house, but at this time, the gate of Liu's house had already collapsed, and the door was opened.Henry Zhang didn't care about the door panel, so he walked quickly into Liu's house and rushed to the mourning hall. As soon as he entered, he saw the transformation snake minibus transformed into a giant, fighting with a three-meter-tall ghost-headed mantis.

This ghost-headed mantis is obviously not the opponent of the metamorphic snake minibus, but its tentacles are very annoying. It always wants to sneak attack the three members of the Liu family behind the metamorphic snake minibus, or Liu Jingya.In addition, the metamorphic snake minibus seemed to want to keep alive, so he tied his hands and feet.

But when Henry Zhang came here, his anger was still in his heart, and he said to Huasheng Snake: "Minibus, don't keep your hands, tear it up."

The transformation snake minibus got the order, and the body of more than ten meters skyrocketed again, turning into a giant snake of 30 meters, crowding the courtyard to the brim.The three-meter-tall ghost-headed mantis never expected that the metamorphic snake could grow bigger, and it was directly entangled.

Turning into a snake minibus, he bit the head of the ghost-headed mantis with his mouth, twisted it lightly, and removed the head of the ghost-headed mantis with a click.Then the body entangled violently, squeezing the ghost-headed mantis completely twisted, it couldn't die anymore, dark green blood flowed all over the ground.

Henry Zhang stepped forward and cut open the head of the ghost mantis with a black bone dagger. After searching for a while, he found that there was no domino in the head of the ghost mantis. He took a closer look and found that there was a longan in the head of the ghost mantis. There are many small and large thread balls, and many thin threads are separated from this thread ball, stretching like other places in the head.

Henry Zhang slashed with the black bone dagger, but failed to cut through all of them, and at this moment the ball of thread suddenly swelled a circle, and then quickly retracted the separated thin thread. At this time, the thin thread was quickly withdrawn, as sharp as a knife, All of a sudden, the head of the ghost-headed mantis was cut into pieces, like a pile of minced meat, and the ball of thread finally exploded.

Henry Zhang retreated in time, and he was not touched by the blown pieces of meat, but Henry Zhang did not study clearly what the ball of thread was.Only the black bone dagger cut off a small piece of silk thread.

"A curious means of control."

Henry Zhang ignored the corpse of the ghost-headed mantis for the time being, he took back the metamorphic snake minibus, and then walked to Huai Bailiu and the others.

Huai Bailiu came up with a sigh of relief, "It's a good thing you secretly left behind, otherwise something will happen."

Liu Zhengyang also came up with his wife and daughter to thank him, with a look of lingering fear.

After thanking Liu Jingya, she asked, "Daor Zhang, have you found the person behind the scenes?"

Henry Zhang shook his head: "No, he found out halfway and shot down the Kongming Lantern."

When Liu Jingya heard this, her face darkened. Is it so difficult to avenge her sister?

Seeing her dim expression, Henry Zhang thought about it and asked, "Miss, I want to ask you something. Does this Li Xiu live in the southwest of Qinglin Town?"

Liu Jingya looked up at Henry Zhang, and asked, "What the Taoist priest asked, is Mr. Li Xiuli who once sang Danjiao?"

Henry Zhangdao: "Yes, it's him, the one who discussed Xiangdao with you."

Liu Jingya seemed to think about her sister, her expression changed, and she hurriedly asked: "He does live in a courtyard in the southwest. Daoist Zhang, is he the murderer behind the scenes?"
