Chapter 41 Miners
Spiritual Vein Reshaping can directly change the direction of the surrounding spiritual veins and can even be used by someone.
In the line of ghost exorcists, this curse is almost forbidden.
Because once the spiritual veins are changed, the spiritual energy in this area will be directly destroyed.
It’s like setting a mountain on fire; living beings in this area will naturally be irreversibly affected.
It can even develop into a haunted place like Ye Shangfeng.
However, because the requirements for the Spiritual Vein Reshaping technique are very high, ordinary people cannot perform it, so there have been no major dangerous accidents over the years.
Unexpectedly, I encountered one.
And since this appeared, it means that Chang Wenxu’s previous investigation was not wrong.
The Ye Shangfeng mining disaster was indeed caused by humans.
Liu Haoyu and Qin Liu walked up to the ritual and examined it carefully.
He wanted to destroy it, but with such a large-scale ritual that had been running for so long, it was basically impossible to succeed.
Even if the entire formation here was dismantled, nothing would change.
It’s like a mold spot appearing on an apple, which means the entire apple is already rotten.
“This ritual was likely done by the Night Walker.”
“Of course I know… but why did she do it?”
Liu Haoyu couldn’t understand.
Qin Liu also couldn’t understand.
The two could only continue to go deeper along the underground passage.
The beam of the flashlight drew a faint path in the darkness.
As they went deeper, the passage also became wider.
But a heavy smell of decay appeared in the air, mixed with an indescribable stench.
“Click…”
As he walked, Liu Haoyu felt that he had stepped on something very hard. He looked down.
It was a human leg bone.
At this moment, Liu Haoyu had a bad feeling.
He continued to walk forward, and then a spacious area appeared in front of him.
But this space was like a pile of dead people, with countless withered corpses scattered here.
These corpses were wearing miners’ clothes, their faces twisted as if they had experienced extreme pain before death.
Their skin was also a terrifying grayish-white, as if their bodies had been drained by some power.
Looking at the items on these people, Liu Haoyu also knew.
These corpses were the miners who went missing in that mining disaster.
And judging by their appearance of death… all these miners were made into ghost slaves.
“Hoo…”
Liu Haoyu calmed his mood.
He had always been a very calm person, so he did not lose his composure when facing such brutal and inhumane things.
Soon, Liu Haoyu found a ledger on the ground.
These seemed to be receipts, detailing purchased items.
Among them were building materials such as marble, sandalwood, and jade.
In addition, there were folk items such as incense burners and candle holders.
The name of the purchaser was Wang Defa.
Were these items bought for them by the old miner Yi Er Min Sa Er Lin Qi Si Pai I Jian, who had already gone mad?
Liu Haoyu frowned slightly.
He carefully flipped through the ledger, pondered for a long time, and then said.
“Judging by these materials… the Night Walker is setting up an altar?”
“This possibility is very high.”
Qin Liu also nodded.
Spiritual veins plus an altar, this must be a big event.
Liu Haoyu took a deep breath.
He continued to walk forward, and the air became increasingly cold, and the dense resentment in the surroundings was almost condensed into a tangible form.
Ahead, the sound of fighting appeared.
When Liu Haoyu heard the sound, he immediately quickened his pace.
Finally, the Night God Palace, which they had seen earlier, appeared before the two.
But the scene before them tightened Liu Haoyu’s heart.
A white figure, holding a peachwood sword emitting a faint white light, was fighting a monster.
This monster was three meters tall, with densely packed stitching lines on its body, and human faces filled with resentment, pain, and hatred were embedded in its body.
The terrifying appearance even made Liu Haoyu gasp in shock.
But he was not afraid and rushed straight over.
“I’ll help you!”
Liu Jianjun was at a disadvantage. If he didn’t help quickly, there might be an accident, so Liu Haoyu dared not neglect. He took out three Zhenlei Talismans and blasted them over.
“Boom boom boom!!”
A series of explosions instantly forced the monster back. Liu Haoyu rushed to Liu Jianjun’s side.
At this time, Liu Haoyu discovered that Liu Jianjun’s figure was much more illusory than before, clearly having consumed a lot of power.
His left arm was broken and disappeared, and white mist kept emerging from the broken end.
“Are you okay, Dad?”
Liu Haoyu looked at Liu Jianjun behind him. It was him who saved him last time, and now he had saved him back.
But Liu Jianjun just opened his mouth, as if he hadn’t spoken to anyone for a long, long time, and couldn’t make any sound.
“You…”
“Kill you! Kill you!”
The stitched monster stood up again. Its huge body was like a tank, and it charged towards Liu Haoyu unstoppable.
“Be careful… it’s immortal…”
Liu Jianjun let out a very hoarse voice, warning Liu Haoyu to be careful.
In fact, before Liu Haoyu arrived, he was facing a large group of miners. In a series of battles, Liu Jianjie had chopped them all into pieces, but these miners did not die, and instead reassembled into this terrifying monster.
“Pay attention to its… resentment…”
“Got it.”
Liu Haoyu could naturally see the nearly tangible resentment emanating from this fierce ghost.
Killed in the most painful and cruel way, and then gathered so much resentment from so many people.
So even Liu Haoyu had to admit that this monster was indeed very strong…
However, as the monster charged towards Liu Haoyu, a red figure flashed in front of him.
Under the gaze of father and son, the girl’s embroidered shoe struck the three-meter-tall monster.
“Slap!”
“Boom!!”
After a crisp sound, the three-meter-tall monster was like a kicked ball, flying at high speed and crashing directly into the rock wall, causing the entire underground passage to shake violently.
When the dust settled, all that appeared before the two was a pile of soft, rotten flesh.
The girl held the lantern high, and in the light of the lantern, the ferocious monster split into dozens of souls, which were sucked into the lantern.
The once tense father and son now felt a strange awkwardness.
“…”
“…”
Looking at the silent father and son, Qin Liu tilted her head, seemingly unable to understand why they weren’t speaking.
Finally, after a long pause, Liu Haoyu managed to utter this sentence.
“Dad… this is your daughter-in-law, don’t be scared.”
