Chapter 130: Kongming Lantern (Chapter 3)
At noon, in an empty yard of the Du family, the altar was built high, with yellow paper, glutinous rice, cinnabar, brushes and other utensils placed on it.
On the open space in front of the altar, there are seven star lanterns and a Kongming lantern. The Kongming lantern is made of yellow paper and cinnabar is painted with talismans on it. The Kongming lantern is placed at the center of the open space. The seven star lanterns are arranged in seven directions in a circular shape with the Kongming lantern as the center. Each star lantern is about seven or eight meters away from the Kongming lantern in the middle.
Moreover, each star lamp is connected to the middle Kongming lantern with a red line, which is tied to the middle of the Kongming lantern and to the wick of the star lamp respectively.
Lin Tianqi stood behind the altar, and Liu Shengnan was standing next to him. In the corridor of the yard behind the two, there were people standing there, Du Ziteng, Du Tianwei, and Huang's three main Du family masters were there. In addition, Cheng Zhengsheng also came, as well as Wu Sanjiang and his daughter Wu Qingqing, plus the thugs they brought behind him, there were dozens of people.
However, Wu Sanjiang came here with a close intention of watching the fun. After last night, he had figured out the situation of the Cheng family and the Du family. However, he didn't care much about the affairs of these two families. He didn't have much friendship with the two families, although the purpose of this trip was to find the Du family to cooperate.
However, it is not necessary to cooperate with the Du family. In the entire Luocheng, in addition to the Du family and Cheng family, there are two or three forces that are not necessarily smaller than the Du family and Cheng family. If there is no agreement here, he can go to the other three companies to discuss cooperation. Therefore, at this moment, he is not worried that something happened between the Cheng family and the Du family will affect his purpose.
Wu Sanjiang didn't care too much about the life and death of Cheng Musheng and Du Yujuan. On the contrary, he was more interested in Lin Tianqi at this moment.
He has seen many warlocks in the world over the years, but most of them are scammers who don’t have any real skills, or just those who just know some tricks. Those who are really capable but are rare. Looking at the posture in front of him, he became more and more curious, wanting to see what kind of formation Lin Tianqi could make.
Wu Sanjiang did not look down on Lin Tianqi because of his appearance, and even had some other thoughts in his mind. If Lin Tianqi was really capable, he would not even mind taking action, helping the other party and making a good relationship, because he knew very well that if a truly capable warlock is used well, his value would be absolutely inestimable.
The light from the corner of his eyes left no trace and glanced at the faces of Du Tianwei, Du Ziteng, Cheng Zhengsheng and others not far away. He could clearly feel the indifference in the eyes of these people looking at Lin Tianqi and Liu Shengnan, and they had absolutely no kindness. After a look, their eyes were withdrawn, and their faces remained silent.
Wu Sanjiang looked at Wu Qingqing beside him again. Seeing the gritting teeth on his daughter's face that she couldn't hide it, her eyes stared at Lin Tianqi as if she wanted to eat people. Her eyes flashed for a moment and she didn't say anything. He knew that it must be that Wu Qingqing had met Lin Tianqi before, and she might have suffered a loss from Lin Tianqi, otherwise she would not have looked like this.
Wu Sanjiang was very thoughtful, but he did not speak much, mainly because this is not the place to speak.
Wu Qingqing gritted her teeth and recognized Lin Tianqi from the first sight of him. This guy was so easy to recognize and impressed her too deeply. What happened yesterday was the most shameful and humiliating thing that made her feel the most humiliating since she was a child.
"Bastard, bastard... wait for me, and I won't believe Wu if I don't deal with you later!"
Wu Qingqing was almost furious and wanted to rush up and eat Lin Tianqi raw. However, when she saw the situation at the scene, she knew that this was not a place where she could make trouble, so she had to temporarily suppress the anger in her heart. She could only look at Lin Tianqi with gritted teeth and scolded her countless times in her heart.
At the edge of the altar, Lin Tianqi looked solemn, and he pinched the seal technique in his hand and made a spell, but he ignored Wu Qingqing, who was gritting his teeth behind him. In fact, he noticed Wu Qingqing when he first arrived here and recognized him, but he didn't care.
At this moment, he did not pay much attention to Wu Qingqing's thoughts.
"Bring it." Everything was arranged properly, and Lin Tianqi shouted behind him.
"Take it over." Du Tianwei instructed a subordinate beside him.
The subordinate walked out after hearing the sound, holding a wooden plate in his hand, with only a note of paper in the plate, folded in half, and the words were written inside, which were Du Yujuan's birth date. Lin Tianqi took the note, attached it to a spell, and then pinched out a seal and typed it.
"Hao!"
The talisman that fits the birth date and eight characters fell on a star lamp. In an instant, the seven star lamps suddenly started to burn, and then the red line wrapped around the wick of the star lamp also burned. The flame spread along the red line to the Kongming lantern in the middle, looking like seven fire lines.
Finally, the flames of seven fire lines met, and the inside of the Kongming lantern suddenly lit up.
The seven red threads were burned out, and the hot air gradually filled the Kongming lantern. Slowly, the Kongming lantern began to float from the ground.
Behind Lin Tianqi, everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but his pupils shrank. Just now, Lin Tianqi shot out the talisman and everyone could see clearly the natural scene of the seven star lamps. For them, these methods could be called incredible, and Wu Sanjiang's eyes were even brighter.
The Kongming lantern was suspended and slowly rose, rising higher and higher. After a few minutes, it had risen to twenty or thirty meters high, and then slowly floated towards the outside of the city.
Lin Tianqi glanced at the direction where Kongming lantern was floating, and followed Liu Shengnan out.
"Follow up!"
Seeing this, Du Tianwei behind him also ordered directly.
The Kongming lantern rose to a high altitude, floated out of the Du family, and then floated out of the city. Lin Tianqi and Liu Shengnan followed the Du family, always paying attention to the direction of the Kongming lantern above their heads, and walking along the streets along the direction of the Kongming lantern. Behind the two, Du Tianwei, Du Ziteng, Cheng Zhengsheng, Wu Sanjiang and others also followed.
"Hey, isn't that Young Master Du? Are there any Master Cheng and Mr. Du? What's going on? There are so many people."
"What are they doing, it seems they are chasing something, they are looking at the sky."
"Kongming Lantern, there is a Kongming Lantern in the sky. What's going on? Mr. Du and Mr. Cheng are all chasing this Kongming Lantern?"
On the street, Lin Tianqi and others' behavior attracted people all the way, especially when they saw Du Tianwei, Cheng Zhengsheng, Du Ziteng and others, they caused a lot of commotion. Looking at the actions of the group and the Kongming lantern floating out of the city in the sky, they were talking.
However, Lin Tianqi and his party did not pay much attention to the discussions of these people, and directly chased the direction of Kongminglantern floating and left the city.
The Kongming lantern has been floating at a height of dozens of meters, slowly floating in one direction, and the speed is not fast. It took nearly half an hour to float out of the city, slowly and easily when chasing out of the city. The group was like walking in the garden, but after leaving the city, they began to struggle.
Because Kongming Lanterns are in the air without any resistance, but those who are on the ground are not able to do it. After leaving the city, they are all in the mountains. The direction of Kongming Lanterns floating in, and there are no roads in many places. There are still many places that need to detour, and those who go up and down the mountain will not be easy to chase after.
Soon, Du Tianwei, Cheng Zhengsheng, Wu Sanjiang and others stopped chasing each other. Only Du Ziteng and a group of thugs followed Lin Tianqi and Liu Shengnan in front of him.
After pursuing Kongming Lanterns, they left the city, climbed several tables of mountains and crossed several deep ditches across the country. After several hours, they stood halfway up the mountain, and then the group watched Kongming Lanterns slowly fall down the mountain.
"It should be down there, go down."
Lin Tianqi turned around and told Du Ziteng behind him.
At this moment, Du Ziteng was still following them, although he was already out of breath and sweating heavily, and was obviously very tired. Behind him, the twenty or so thugs were sweating heavily on his face and breathing heavily.
Lin Tianqi didn't feel much trouble. Liu Shengnan next to him looked relatively relaxed, but he had a little sweat on his forehead.
He said to Du Ziteng, and Lin Tianqi and Liu Shengnan took the lead again and chased the mountain.
Du Ziteng gasped and made it difficult for him to walk like this, a rich young master, to make it difficult for him to walk along like this, but he did not give up. Looking at Lin Tianqi and Liu Shengnan who had already walked to the front first, he gritted his teeth.
“Come on!”
The group followed again.
"No matter what I do later, don't talk, just cooperate with me."
Walking in front, seeing Du Ziteng and his group behind him had been a distance from him and Liu Shengnan, Lin Tianqi lowered his voice and gave Liu Shengnan a second reminder in a voice that Du Ziteng and others could not hear behind him.
Liu Shengnan raised his head and looked at Lin Tianqi, his eyes flashed and he nodded.
