However, when Niu Dawa searched every inch of the land, except for a few weapons and the half-cut arm of Zodiac Girl, he did not find the bodies of any of them.
As for the soul lamp they left in the Liujiacun ancestral hall, only some scattered fragments remained, which must have been shattered by the energy storm during the fierce battle.
"Not finding the bodies is the best news, which means they are probably still alive." Wei Ziyi comforted himself and everyone.
In less than a stick of incense, Yuan Taiping turned back with red eyes.
Zhou Jianlai saw Yuan Taiping hurriedly turn back with red eyes, and his heart suddenly thumped. He knew something had happened, and immediately went up to him and asked, "Fourth, what's the matter?"
"Xinru and Le'er were not at home, and the housekeeper at home said... that they came to Liujia Village to visit relatives on the sixth day of the new year. Before leaving, they told the housekeeper that they would stay in Liujia Village for a while, and then they never went back.
"
"On the night of the tenth day of the lunar month, people in Baiyun City saw the light here shining brightly, like daylight, and heard a roar like thunder. The Taoist Idle Man and the White Ape should have attacked here that night."
Yuan Taiping said with uncontrollable trembling in his voice.
His eyes were filled with sadness, fear and despair.
Zhou Jianlai took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and said comfortingly: "Don't panic, it's very possible that nothing happened to them, because the second brother searched every inch of the land here and found no bodies of them."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa and said: "Now we must calm down, find ways to find clues about their disappearance, and then find them."
"Brother Zhou, everything is fine at home." Yuan Taiping said.
Zhou Jianlai nodded and cast a grateful look at Yuan Taiping. After Yuan Taiping learned the bad news about his wife and children, he still thought of helping him go to his home to check on the situation. It was really thoughtful.
Zhang Xiaozu took out a piece of silk and satin, wrapped the broken arm of the Zodiac Girl, and put it into the void space. Then he stood up and said: "The white ape never showed up. I guess it is most likely that it kidnapped everyone. It
Want to take revenge on us."
Zhou Jianlai nodded and said: "Well, there is a possibility. We have done it before, and it must have a grudge."
"Where can I find it?" Niu Dawa asked.
Zhang Xiaozhu frowned and said: "Jiuzhou is so big. If it really wants to hide, we can't find it. But if it really kidnapped everyone, then it will definitely come after it knows that we are still alive."
We will then use everyone's lives as a threat to achieve the purpose of retaliating against us, otherwise it will not take trouble and kidnap people, but just kill them on the spot."
Everyone nodded after hearing this and agreed with Zhang Xiaozu's analysis.
Zhang Xiaozu paused for a moment and then said: "Right now, the only people we know who know where everyone is going are Xianyi Taoist and White Ape. Xianyi Taoist will definitely be nowhere to be found in a short time, so only White Ape is left. If White Ape is
If it hides deliberately, it will be difficult for us to find it. There is a way to make it come to us on its own initiative."
"What can I do?" Niu Dawa asked.
"It took away the Black Ape's Sun-shooting Divine Bow. If we can get the Sun-shooting Divine Bow's string and spread the news, it will definitely come to us," Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Yes, this is a way." Niu Dawa nodded, "Without further ado, I will go to the Black Forest for a trip and make sure to take out the string of the Sun Archer Bow."
Zhou Jianlai waved his hand and said, "You can't go."
"Why?" Niu Dawa asked puzzled.
"You have to stay here. If the white ape kidnaps everyone and comes for us, it will take you a thousand miles to save people and escape. Even the black ape has been defeated by it. Now that the apocalypse is coming and its combat power is fully unleashed, we
It is definitely no match for it head-on, so we can only deal with it in circuitous ways, waiting for opportunities to save people, and then escape for our lives." Zhou Jianlai explained.
Niu Dawa nodded and cursed angrily: "What a fucking coward!"
"I'll go." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Zhou Jian came to look at Yuan Taiping and said, "Fourth child, you and Third child go for a walk."
"I'll go too." Zhang Xiaobing said.
"Okay." Zhou Jianlai nodded in agreement, "Master, the second child, Keyi and I, the four of us will stay here waiting for White Ape, the third child, and I have to ask you to set up a Nirvana Sword Formation."
The White Ape is very strong, and he doesn't dare to be careless. He needs to rely on the Nirvana Sword Formation to deal with the White Ape.
Zhang Xiaozu immediately took out the formation flags and began to arrange them.
It took him a full hour to set up the formation, because he incorporated a lot of his own insights into the formation, which more than doubled the power of the formation.
His attainments in formations, along with his continuous research and understanding of red runes, and the inheritance of part of the Taoist ancestors, can be said to be improving at a rapid pace.
For example, Yu Chengyang's Dou Tian Magic Formation, with his current eyesight, can be said to be full of loopholes, which he can break through with a casual punch.
It took him nearly half a month to understand Cang Yazi's Nirvana Sword Formation, but now he has been able to make better improvements on the original basis.
This shows that his formation attainments have reached an extremely high level.
It took less than half an hour to explain the operation and control of the new Nirvana Sword Formation to Zhou Jianlai and the four others in detail.
Then he warned the four people: "If you encounter a white ape, you must be more careful. This beast has not been taken advantage of by idle Taoists, and you have separated your relationship with him in time. It shows that it is very smart."
"Well, you should also be careful. It may be in the Black Forest, planning to shoot the bowstring of the Sun God's Bow. Be careful and don't fall into its trap. In addition, ancient ferocious beasts are rampant in the Black Forest, so you must
Be more careful." Zhou Jianlai also warned Zhang Xiaopou and the other three.
"Don't worry, we will go back as soon as possible." Zhang Xiaozu said.
After saying that, he flew to the black forest with Yuan Taiping and Zhang Xiaobing.
"Wait a minute!" Wei Ziyan suddenly stopped them and said, "I suddenly thought of a way, maybe you can try it."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaozu immediately stopped, turned around and asked, "What's the solution?"
Wei Ziyi said: "You can go to the underworld first. After death, the ghosts go to the underworld and stay there for seven, seven, forty-nine years before being reincarnated. The tenth day of the new year until now is less than forty-nine days. If
Someone unfortunately died, and you might be able to find their ghost in the underworld and ask for a clear explanation. But... it's best not to find them."
Because it can't be found, it means no one died that night.
Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "This is indeed a good idea. People don't know what happened that night. Maybe someone happened to pass by here and saw it."
"Then you should go to the underworld first. We will also go and ask around to see if anyone nearby saw what happened that night." Zhou Jianlai said.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded, then made a hand seal with his hands and tore into the void in front of him. With a stabbing sound, he tore open a gate leading to the underworld.
He is now the Saint Ancestor of the Tao Sect, so this method is easy for him.
"Let's go with you." Yuan Taiping said.
"No need, I'll come back as soon as I go. There won't be any danger." Zhang Xiaopou waved his hand, then stepped into the Yin Gate, and then disappeared together with the Yin Gate.
