After Li Lijun landed, she quickly cast breath-absorbing charms and silencing charms around her, surrounding the large courtyard to form a space that was relatively isolated from the outside world. Any sound, light or movement would not cause any disturbance from the outside world.

Notice.

After all these preparations were done, she felt relieved and began to look around, and then quickly searched the entire yard.

This yard is said to be a cross-yard, but it is actually a quite large yard, with two front and back entrances. There is a central hall and east and west wing rooms in the front yard, and an inner hall and bedrooms in the back yard. The overall area is more than one acre. However, Li Lijun found someone living in the front yard.

There are obviously more houses in the backyard, but it seems to be vacant. Even the trees planted in the yard have been cut down and uprooted, leaving a square open space of about thirty square meters and paved with flat paving.

Stone bricks.

What is this going to do?

Li Lijun carefully searched the front and back yards with doubts. Although there was a lot of furniture and furnishings left in the house, the valuable ones were probably taken away. The rest could be seen that the materials were good and the decoration was careful.

Even the tea and futons provided are of the highest quality. It seems that the former Jingyang County Magistrate really paid great attention to the Demonic Way.

There was nothing left in the house that could prove the identity of the demon. Although he went to look for gophers without telling the former county magistrate and did not take any luggage with him, the former county magistrate took away all the things he left behind.

Go burn it down to vent your anger. Valuable things may fall into the hands of some petty officials or servants. Things that are worthless or whose value cannot be seen must have not escaped the fire and could not have been left for Li Lijun to discover. Tea leaves,

The reason why the futon can be preserved is probably because it was not brought by the evil spirit, but was prepared by the former county magistrate, and it is not inconspicuous.

Li Lijun didn't get anything valuable, so she went to the backyard again. She felt that there must be something wrong with the specially paved ground. What did Yaodao originally plan to use this place?

She stared at the ground for a while, then suddenly had an idea, and cast a spell to "lift" all the stone bricks, exposing the mud underneath.

The dirt floor was empty, there was nothing. No, maybe it couldn't be said to be nothing, because there were obvious red marks on the dirt floor, and there were also some water marks that had not yet dried.

Li Lijun picked up some soil with red traces and examined it carefully. She found that the red soil was cinnabar, but there were other things seeping into it, and it smelled a bit bloody.

This is... what pattern was originally drawn on the stone tile floor with cinnabar mixed with other substances, and was it wiped away with water?

Judging from the position of the mud where the cinnabar is distributed, the pattern seems to be circular and quite complicated. Li Lijun suspected that this might be a formation. Unfortunately, all the traces have been washed away. If it hadn't been for washing the ground, it might not have been too long.

, and there were stone bricks paving the floor, so the water flowing into the cracks of the bricks did not evaporate in time. She rushed to check it tonight. She estimated that by tomorrow, there would be no traces of water.

Li Lijun suspected that the formation was drawn by the demon Dao a long time ago, but he never came back. When the former Jingyang County Magistrate got angry, he ordered people to clean the ground here. The county government office itself has a well.

, not far from this courtyard. If the former county magistrate ordered his servants to do these things, other people in the county government might not be able to notice.

This county government office is quite large, with hundreds of rooms and dozens of courtyards in front and back.

Li Lijun "lowered" the stone bricks down again. After thinking about it, she felt that if something like cinnabar was left on the surface for a long time, even if it was washed clean, it might not leave traces. She looked up.

It's a pity that tonight is the last quarter of the moon and the moonlight is not bright enough. But there are many stars in the sky. She also encountered shooting stars last night. She practiced the real kind again and gained a lot. Tonight she

Perhaps we can borrow the power of the Star Sword to recreate the formation diagram that was once drawn on the stone tile floor.

Light silver starlight slowly sprinkled on the gray and white stone bricks, seeping into the bricks. After a while, a layer of faint red marks slowly seeped out on the surface. Although it was not obvious, Li Lijun could add spiritual power to the bricks.

In both eyes, the enhanced vision was enough for her to clearly recognize the shape and content of the array diagram.

This is a somewhat difficult-to-explain formation. The more official name is "Spirit Drawing Formation". It sounds similar to the Spirit Gathering Formation, but its properties are somewhat different.

The Spirit Gathering Array gathers the free spiritual energy particles in the nearby air through the formation method, so that they gather within a range to form a relatively spiritual energy-rich space to assist the people in the array to practice. After the Spirit Gathering Array is removed, they will still appear in the nearby space.

The scattered spiritual energy particles will return to their previous concentration after a period of time. This is a sustainable development formation that is often used by righteous monks.

The spirit-absorbing array absorbs the spiritual power from the nearby earth veins and air through the formation, and brings it to a point in the center of the array, which can quickly replenish the spiritual power of the monks or magic weapons. If the person using the spirit-absorbing array only absorbs the spiritual power for a period of time,

If the formation has no spiritual power, the operation of the formation will be stopped immediately. Then the nearby area will at most experience a period of no spiritual energy. After ten or eight years, it will slowly return to its original state. But if the person who uses the spiritual energy formation allows the formation to

If the law continues to operate until the nearby spiritual power is completely exhausted, then the land in this area will never be able to return to its original state. The originally fertile land will gradually dry up, the water source will stop flowing, plants will not be able to grow, and animals will gradually die.

Even people will become weaker and weaker, and eventually become sick and die.

This is a somewhat "evil" formation, and because once the Jiling Formation is running, it takes a lot of effort to stop it midway. Usually only people with higher cultivation can do it, so it is usually run directly to

It is used until the spiritual energy of the earth veins is exhausted, leaving no escape route for people, and the orthodox monks are very reluctant to use it.

Li Lijun didn't know where the Demon Dao learned the spirit-absorbing formation diagram from, but judging from what she observed when fighting him, he was only at the third level of Qi refining, and he probably didn't have the ability to let the running

The Jiling Formation stopped, so he probably planned to keep the formation running until all the power of the Jingyang earth veins was exhausted.

Is this the "big thing" he said? What is he going to do with the power of Jingyang? To recharge himself? He's not afraid that his small body will be overwhelmed by the abundant power of Guanzhong?!

Li Lijun was a little regretful that she arrived too late. If she could arrive before the former Jingyang County magistrate cleaned the formation map and burned the Demon Dao's luggage, she might be able to find more clues. However, although the real purpose of the Demon Dao is unclear now,

But everyone else is dead, so you can't do any bad things you want to do.

Li Lijun quickly restored all the places she had rummaged through to their original state. She only used a small porcelain bottle to collect some cinnabar mixed with soil and strange substances. She planned to go back and examine it carefully, then turned around and prepared to leave.

But when she was about to retract the talisman array around her, she suddenly felt something in her heart. She turned her head to look to the southeast and felt that there seemed to be two people approaching her over there.

They were two monks, one was slightly higher than her, about the fifth level of Qi refining, and the other was only about the second level of Qi refining. The auras of the two were righteous, and they should not be evil cultivators.

Her heart moved slightly and she stopped. She originally planned to leave, but she didn't plan to leave now.
