The Three Spirit Stones

Yanzhou was once an important frontier area of ​​the Song Dynasty. It is now called Ting'an. Fan Zhongyan once served as the governor of this place.

Nowadays, there are high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete everywhere.

Lu Feng and his team came here.

He had spent a huge sum of money to hire this team, most of whom were retired special forces soldiers. They were all agile, highly skilled in martial arts, and proficient in various black-tech weapons.

There were more than 20 of them, including Lu Feng and his daughter.

Lu Feng's daughter was named Lu Mingzhu. She was smart and capable, and was her father's right-hand man.

Lu Mingzhu first wanted to go to the local police station to check the missing persons during this period, but they were not local public security personnel and were not allowed to check.

But these little things were not difficult for her. She used her identity as the deputy general manager of Hongguang Group to get to know Director Wang of the Investment Promotion Office in the local government.

She told Director Wang that Hongguang Group wanted to acquire some land in Baota District and develop some new real estate projects.

However, first we need to do a local population data survey.

This is also normal. What’s the point of building a house if no one will buy it?

Then, Director Wang personally introduced her to Director Li of the Public Security Bureau.

Director Li warmly welcomed her and asked Xiao Zhao, the technical chief of the bureau, to check the local population data.

After careful inspection, Lu Mingzhu found that there were no obvious missing persons in the two major districts of Yan'an, Baota District and Ansai District.

Could it be that the Dark Demon Spirit is not active here?

Back at the hotel, she called everyone together for a meeting to discuss the issue.

She pointed to the satellite map on the projector and said, "This place is the location of the Wuji Cave in history. The Black Demon Spirit should have been unearthed from here."

"Xiao Zhang, tell me what you saw there these two days,"

"Yes, Miss Lu,"

"We went there and found that it was now an industrial zone with many factories built to attract investment,"

"As for the black stone with inscriptions that Mr. Lu mentioned, we asked the security guards and leaders in the factory area, and no one has ever seen such a stone,"

"Then the four of us looked everywhere for the stone but couldn't find it,"

"Stones are very common on construction sites. Even if they are dug out, no one would pay much attention to them."

At this time, Lu Feng spoke up and said, "This is not an ordinary stone. This stone has a spirit and can eat people. It will never be left in a conspicuous place."

"If someone digs it out, the person who dug it out may have died. We need to change our thinking and find the construction unit that built the infrastructure here in the first place."

Lu Mingzhu thought it made sense and that it would be useful to find out the root cause.

She said, "Then you four should go check the original construction company tomorrow."

"Yes,"

Then he asked, "Dad, the most important thing for us now is to find the stone, but if it has been transported to another place, how can it kill people?"

Lu Feng said, "According to the predecessors, it is like a super strong magnet. People have to get close to it to be attracted to it, but it will not run out by itself if it is sealed. This requires a media to find a population source for it."

"He also said that last time a man gained its spiritual power and kidnapped all the people nearby to give to it."

"According to this idea, we will go to various towns and villages to check if there are any cases of people disappearing inexplicably."

"Dad, this doesn't seem easy to operate,"

"Even if there is, it is difficult for us to determine where the Black Demon Spirit is."

Lu Feng thought about it and nodded, and he also felt that this was too labor-intensive.

"So how many people does the Dark Devil Spirit need to kill to break the seal?"

"According to my predecessor, she ate almost all the people in the Shaanxi Road area. Several basketball court-sized pits were filled with corpses."

When everyone heard this, they felt horrified!

"Since she needs so many people, it's impossible for her to do it quietly. The longer it takes, the easier it is for the truth to be exposed."

"If I were her..."

"The best way is to bring people together,"

"Yes, I think Miss Lu's idea may be correct,"

One of the team members said, "The thing that can gather a large number of people is to participate in activities, such as distributing free items, which is very effective for middle-aged and elderly people."

"There are also religious activities, such as ceremonies and releasing animals at temples, as well as meditation classes and the like."

"Yes, any place where a large number of people gather is a suspect,"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

After determining the direction, they split into several groups and planned to act separately tomorrow.

At this time, a team member named Yang raised a question.

"Mr. Lu, I'm not questioning your decision. Since you hired us to participate in this operation, we will definitely do as you ask,"

"I just think the Dark Devil Spirit thing is too mysterious,"

"Because there are many examples that prove that those so-called mysterious events are often deliberately done by someone,"

"Moreover, these are just one-sided words from your so-called seniors,"

"Mr. Lu, this..."

What Team Member Yang said actually expressed the thoughts of all the team members.

We all grew up under the red flag and studied Marxist atheism for decades. Although we have retired now, these ideas have already been deeply rooted.

Lu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it's normal for you to have these doubts. These things are indeed hard to believe."

"If this is false, just think of it as me paying for everyone to come on a trip,"

"If it's true, we can save those innocent people. Isn't that a good thing?"

"In fact, I personally hope this is false, because if it is true we will face great challenges,"

"Do you think what I said is right?"

Hearing Lu Feng's words, everyone laughed.

The team member named Yang just now joked, "If this is true, it would be incredible. We can encounter such a fantastic thing. This experience is enough to brag about for the rest of our lives."

"Hahaha~"

Everyone laughed.

"If it's true, you can brag about it for the rest of your life, but the prerequisite is that you can get out of it unscathed, otherwise it will be others who brag about it for the rest of their lives!"

"Haha~"

"That is required,"

Everyone exchanged some opinions and it was already late at night, so they went back to their rooms to rest and prepare for action tomorrow morning.

After they left, Lu Mingzhu asked her father,

"Dad, I have doubts about this, too."

"Why are you so sure that what Senior Cheng Yu said is true?"

"Now it's just the two of us. Can you tell me now something that was inconvenient to say just now?"

Lu Feng thought for a while and said, "Mingzhu, our Lu family is a family of heavenly masters, and its history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. We have many inherited methods."

"One of the methods is called observing the qi,"

"When you have mastered this method to perfection, you will be able to see clearly whether it is a human or a ghost."

"Why do I trust Senior Cheng Yu so much?"

"Because the first time I saw him, I saw that he was full of immortal spirit, and he could set up formations in the air. This skill alone is not something that ordinary people can do."

"But the second time, I couldn't see any fairy spirit from them, including his wife. I guess they were deliberately restraining themselves."

Seeing his daughter's eyes widen, Lu Feng smiled.

"Mingzhu, you have always received Western education. I know it is difficult for you to understand."

"Anyway, don't worry about whether it's true or not. Let's get to the bottom of this matter first, right?"

"Yes, Dad,"

"But one thing is, you must not be careless. If this black demon spirit is really as the senior said, then she is really terrifying."

"Remember, remember, don't get close to her,"

"I see,"

"Ah."
