Now that the damage had been done, all he could do was try his best to persuade Jiujiu so that Jiujiu would not be traumatized.
As for Black Tortoise, he went straight to Zhu Que as soon as he returned.
Zhu Que put down the document in her hand and looked at Black Tortoise, "How is it?"
Black Tortoise frowned, "It's quite tricky."
"How tricky?"
Black Tortoise said, "That's a resurrection spell. It's obvious that the other party wants to resurrect someone, but I don't understand. Besides, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to use the resurrection spell.
Back then, what did you say to Xia He? "
Hearing Black Tortoise talk about the past, Zhu Que's expression stiffened. Her thoughts instantly went back to the past.
Back then, just like Qing Xuan, he promised Xia He that he would take care of his wife and son. That was why Xia He spared no effort in divination, to the point where his divine power went out of control.
Later, his son was gone, his daughter-in-law died, and they, who were supposed to protect Xia He's family, were the last to know the news.
However, Zhu Que felt that they could not be blamed. Since a few years ago, the enchantment of the Burial Grounds had been collapsing day by day. The remnants of the Demon Clan were wreaking havoc in the human world. It was already good enough that they could take care of them once a month. How could they take care of them every day?
But now, it was too late to say that.
It was likely that Xia He had long held a grudge against them. Otherwise, he would not have done these things.
And now, the only thing they could be thankful for was that Xia He's only family member, Xia Qiudong, was still in their hands. As long as Xia Qiudong was in their hands, Xia He would not dare to act recklessly.
Only at this time did Zhu Que truly feel that Qing Lan's soft-heartedness actually had its benefits.
Zhu Que collected her wandering thoughts and changed the topic, "I thought that you would know very well about the matter between me and him. After all, other than Qing Lan, you had the best relationship with him back then."
Black Tortoise's expression stiffened when he heard Zhu Que say that he had the best relationship with Xia He. "You know very well why I had such a good relationship with him back then."
Back then, Xia He had suddenly awakened the bloodline of the Nan Tribe, and his understanding of formations had amazed him. Rather than saying that they had a good relationship, it was more accurate to say that they had the same interests.
When the two of them were together, they would often discuss matters related to formations.
The Vermillion Bird sighed and changed the subject, "Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the present. Do you have a way to capture him? The barrier around the Boneyard is in imminent danger. The weather in the Human Realm is constantly changing. If Xia He continues to cause trouble like this, I'm afraid the demons will become even more unbridled. We must find him."
"Besides, you need his help."
Of course, the Vermillion Bird and the Black Tortoise had never even considered using Xia He as a sacrifice.
What they were thinking was that if Xia He knew that his granddaughter was going to be sacrificed, he would definitely think of ways to help them improve the array formation so that they could keep Xia Qiu and Xia Dong alive.
Although the Black Tortoise did not want to admit it, the sacrificial array had been passed down since ancient times. It was very difficult to leave him with a chance of survival without destroying the original power of the array.
Even the Black Tortoise, who had not slept or rested for so many days, was unable to succeed. He really did need Xia He's help.
However, when he thought of Jiujiu's nausea and vomiting at the sight of the corpse today, the Black Tortoise's face became impatient, "That woman's bloodline has already been diluted for two generations. I don't think that her body alone can completely seal the demons in the Boneyard. Are you sure you want to change the array formation?
If the array formation fails, we won't be able to stop the demons. "
The Vermillion Bird's eyes darkened. Her voice was so low that it sounded as if it had drifted over from the horizon. "From tomorrow onwards, ask Qing Lan to teach her the art of the soul. If it's effective, we'll change the array. If it's ineffective, we'll stick to the original plan."
Understanding the Vermillion Bird's true intentions, the Black Tortoise smiled and gave the Vermillion Bird a thumbs up, "Brilliant."
The strength of Jiujiu's soul could be strengthened, so there was a chance that she could awaken the power of the Nan Clan like Xia He. Moreover, because of Xia He's existence, Jiujiu's chances of awakening the power of the Nan Clan's ancestor greatly increased.
If Jiujiu couldn't, then there was no value in her living.
In any case, this array formation was originally a death trap. Jiujiu's soul was too weak, so she couldn't blame others for not being able to survive.
Even if Qing Lan wanted to protect Jiujiu's life, he didn't understand array formations. Secondly, even if the demons were sealed in the Boneyard, there were still many things he needed to deal with on the human side.
Even if he complained at the time, after a long time, he would eventually forget all of this.
Although the Black Tortoise felt that the Vermillion Bird's actions were not right, they didn't have much of a relationship with Jiujiu. Moreover, he didn't like Jiujiu from the bottom of his heart.
After all, compared to Xia He, Jiujiu's granddaughter could really be called a waste.
After Qing Lan separated from the Black Tortoise, he directly went to Jiujiu's room to look for Jiujiu.
Qing Lan looked at Jiujiu sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly looking at the floor. He only felt that his heart was particularly uncomfortable.
If he hadn't softened his heart and brought Jiujiu over today, Jiujiu wouldn't have seen that kind of scene. When he thought of Jiujiu's uncomfortable appearance today, Qing Lan's heart was very uncomfortable.
Especially recently, the more things there were, the more he thought of Xia He.
He thought of the things he had promised Xia He.
Now, Xia Lan was gone, and Xia He only had Jiujiu left. If he couldn't protect Jiujiu, how could he face Xia He?
When Qing Lan entered the room, he cut through the void. After entering the room, he realized that he hadn't knocked on the door. He hurriedly walked to the door and knocked.
Jiujiu raised her head when she heard the sound. When she saw Qing Lan, her eyes narrowed and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I came to see you. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jiujiu slowly shook her head. "I just feel a little uncomfortable. How's the investigation going today?"
Qing Lan shook his head. "The incantations are too complicated, and we don't know what the incantations are for."
The purpose of the murderer was to use the incantations to do something. They couldn't recognize what the incantations were for, which meant that they didn't know what the murderer was doing. Naturally, there was no progress.
Hearing Qing Lan say that he didn't know what the incantations were for, Jiujiu was startled. The corners of her mouth twitched. "Do you want to know what the incantations are for?"
Qing Lan was shocked. He looked at Jiujiu in astonishment. "You know what the incantations are for?"
"That's the resurrection incantation." Jiujiu looked into Qing Lan's eyes and said word by word, "The resurrection incantation uses the lives of those girls as sacrifices to resurrect someone. But I'm very curious. Even I can see the incantation, but Black Tortoise told you that he doesn't know."
