Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 419 Flame Demon Altar
The yellow Inugami Totem flag waved feebly in the wind.

Mu Lingyu blew the evening wind, gradually sobered up, and gradually recovered her calm mind.She began to ask herself: What happened just now?
Why do you say that?

Why do such a thing?

Because of wine.

She kept telling herself that it must be because of drinking.

Wine is a poison through the intestines.

At this moment, she has a deep understanding. She thought that her heart was strong enough, but she didn't expect that after several years of retreat in Yuxu Cave Mansion, she would still cry like a mortal.

"Mortal?" Mu Lingyu laughed at himself.Before crossing the catastrophe, even monks in the nine realms of Xuanqing were nothing more than mortals, and they would not be able to escape the upcoming catastrophe no matter what.

"Then what is my doom?" She felt entangled and uneasy in her heart, and she was more at a loss for the future.A man wanders aimlessly in the camp.

At this time, the sacrificial activities at night have ended.The huge dog army camp was silent, except for a few patrol soldiers guarding the camp, few people moved around.

Mu Lingyu was wandering in the silence, and a heart-piercing scream suddenly sounded in her ears:

"Ahhh!"

With the screaming and howling, a young woman rushed out of the tent, knelt down on the ground with her legs, and made a muffled "plop".

"Adu...Adu!" The woman burst into tears and called out the same name repeatedly.

Mu Lingyu moved when she heard the sound, and hurried to the place where the sound came from, only to see a woman crying desperately, so flustered that she didn't even wear her shoes.With her fair and delicate feet stepping on the mud, she stood outside the tent in a daze, repeating in her mouth:

"Gone...my child...gone..."

Mu Lingyu walked up to the young woman and asked what exactly happened.

The woman's hair was disheveled, and her shoulders were trembling, as if she was crying, but she couldn't hear a sound.Facing the mother who lost her child, although Mu Lingyu couldn't fully understand her feelings, she was already infected by the despair, and felt oppressed and heavy in her heart.

At this time, Samoyed came over with a lamp, lowered his head and sighed: "35."

Mu Lingyu turned her head to look and asked, "What?"

Samoyed explained: "No.30 five missing children. Each child has just reached the full moon, and they were obviously lying in the cradle, and disappeared as soon as they turned around."

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a few patrolling soldiers who guarded the camp rushed over, nodded and bowed for a while, and said falteringly: "We... we just clearly..."

With a straight face, Samoyed shouted: "What are you talking about! Send an order to go down and search nearby separately. The person who robbed the child must have not gone far. You must find that beast!"

Several patrol soldiers guarding the camp responded in unison: "Obey!"

As soon as the words were finished, an old voice came from beside my ear: "It's useless..."

Mu Lingyu turned her head to look, and saw that the voice came from the tent next to it. An old man with disheveled hair walked out of it, walking very slowly, step by step, step by step, and slowly rubbed in.

The old man closed his eyes, looked up at the moon hanging alone in the night sky, and took a deep breath.

Mu Lingyu asked: "Old man, what did you see just now?"

The old man shook his head and said slowly: "...I didn't see anything."

Samoyed said: "Then why are you making trouble?"

"I heard it." The old man stretched out his finger and said in one direction: "I'm blind and my ears are very good. Just now I heard the sound of water flowing from west to east..."

"The sound of water?"

Mu Lingyu and Samoyed exchanged blank glances.

The old man said: "Every time a child disappears, I will hear the sound of running water. Although I have told many people about it, no one has ever believed what I said."

"Why?" Mu Lingyu asked.

Samoyed frowned and said, "Because he is an old lunatic! Near the camp here, there is land for a hundred miles around, and there is no water source at all. It must be the wizard of Gui Rong who is playing tricks!"

The old man shook his head disapprovingly, and sighed, "I know who did it..."

"Who?" Mu Lingyu asked.

"dog God."

"Old lunatic! Stop talking nonsense! Our totem will never betray us!"

Samoyed was suppressing his anger, and his fists below were slightly clenched.

The old man said: "We haven't offered sacrifices for many years, so it's reasonable for the dog god to come to take the sacrifices."

Samoyed shouted: "Inugami has guarded us for generations, and will never do this!"

While the two were arguing, Mu Lingyu disappeared and was already chasing in the direction indicated by the old man.

She passed a barren plain, and ahead she could see a towering altar standing in the darkness.

In the darkness, a figure in fox fur could be seen faintly, it was Su Ji.

"Miss Mu, we are all a step late."

Su Ji said with a smile, as if nothing happened just now.

Looking back on what happened just now, Mu Lingyu had an unnatural expression, but she walked over and asked, "Have you heard the sound of running water?"

Su Ji nodded, looked around the tall sculptures around the altar, and asked, "Is this the altar of the Great Saint Dog King of the Flame Demon?"

Mu Lingyu introduced: "Yes, there is a holy well in the center of the altar. It is said that the dog god totem first appeared at the mouth of the well."

Su Ji walked up the altar along the high steps, and soon found the god well she mentioned.

It was a well made of black stone.Looking down from the mouth of the well, the inside is bottomless, there is no water in the vacuum, there is only an endless darkness, as if it can absorb people's souls, it is exactly the same as the Que Well in Guigu Cave.

Su Ji leaned over to check the mouth of the well, and said, "The seal of this Que well has just been touched. Someone entered here not long ago."

"Is it really a dog god?" Mu Lingyu said angrily, "Why do you treat your own people like this?"

Su Ji concentrated and held his breath, urging to release the sealing circle.Rows of crooked characters appeared on the edge of the ancient well.

Staring at the densely packed characters, Mu Lingyu couldn't help but look sad, and recognized that they were ancient Rong characters.The ancestor of the Mu family once opened the Que Well through unique witchcraft, and invited five demon kings and saints to help out, which led to a fatal disaster.

The seal on the mouth of the well was lifted, Su Ji and Mu Lingyu exchanged glances, and jumped down the well one after another, seeing darkness in front of them.

Su Ji felt more and more humid as he descended, even his breath was filled with water vapor.

After half a stick of incense, the vision of the two gradually became brighter, and the eyes suddenly opened up.

The two found themselves back at the Flame Demon Altar just now.

However, this is not the human world, but the world of Que Jing.

At this time, the altar was filled with moisture, and there were many transparent water spheres floating in the center, and a child was lying in each water sphere, and each of them was a baby boy.

Su Ji looked up, and saw those baby boys were naked, their bodies were completely wrapped in a huge water polo, their eyes were closed tightly, and there was no sign of struggle, as if they were sleeping peacefully, and they seemed to know that no matter how hard they struggled, it would be useless .

Looking at the floating water polo, Mu Lingyu asked in amazement, "What are these?"

"Water Prison Formation." Su Ji explained: "Shuiyao Cave Master's unique magic circle. Back then when Ji Gongyan came to teach and rob relatives, Shuiyao Cave Master used this magic circle to imprison several cave masters, and Chai Songdao Long. Once imprisoned by the water prison array, the Xuanqing Qi will slowly lose and become weaker and weaker. Even a monk with a high cultivation level cannot escape, let alone these babies who have just reached the full moon."

Mu Lingyu said: "It seems that I wronged the dog god, and it was Chen Xing, the master of Shuiyao Cave, who took these children away!"
