"Xiaoxue, have you decided?"
Qin Gengyun asked Fang Xue.
Fang Xue nodded. When everyone saw that she had made up her mind, it was difficult to persuade her.
"This is the antidote found in Chang's Mansion last night. If the three of you take it, you can restore your cultivation."
Luo Wenzhi handed the antidote to Si Minglan, Fang Xue, and Mo Xiaolan, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"When I searched Chang Shengzi's room last night, I discovered something. The technique of turning into a mole was accidentally obtained by him in the abandoned Taoist temple in Zhentang Mountain. I read his handwriting and said that the broken Taoist temple There seems to be something weird in it.”
"Broken Taoist Temple?"
Si Minglan and Fang Xue looked at each other and asked quickly:
"Is it the Broken Taoist Temple on a hill more than ten miles away from Xingluo Town?"
Luo Wenzhi nodded: "Yes, that mountain is Zhentang Mountain."
"Zhentang Mountain?" Everyone looked at him, Luo Wen said:
"The elders in the town said that five hundred years ago, when there was no Xingluo Town, there was already a Taoist temple on Zhentang Mountain, with a statue of a goddess enshrined in it."
"It is said that this goddess can give people superior spiritual roots."
"So every day, many couples bring their newborn children to worship the statue."
"It is said that the spiritual roots of many newborns at that time were really upgraded, and the Taoist temple on Zhentang Mountain became more and more famous."
"It seems that something happened later. No one dared to go to this Taoist temple, and it gradually fell into disrepair, causing Zhentang Mountain to become a barren mountain."
"Goddess? It turns out that the broken Taoist temple where Third Senior Sister and I hid originally has such a legend!"
Fang Xue listened leisurely and fascinated, suddenly remembered something, and quickly said to Si Minglan:
"Third Senior Sister, there are ten volumes of "The Record of Heavenly Beasts". If we can find a few other volumes in that Po Tao Temple, maybe there are some techniques that can be practiced without eating people?"
"Zhentang Mountain?" Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly and said to Fang Xue:
"Xiaoxue, take us to see it."
Everyone said goodbye to Luo Wenzhi, and Fang Xue and Si Minglan quickly led a few people to the hill more than ten miles outside Xingluo Town.
This Zhentang Mountain is overgrown with weeds and desolate, and there is no hint of the past glory that Luo Wenzhi said.
"Third Senior Sister and I escaped from Xiyue Peak and were sent here by Qianli Fu. The two of us hid in the Po Tao Temple for several days, and then we were captured by the Chang family, right there."
The group of people quickly reached the middle of the mountain. Fang Xue pointed to a distant building that was obscured by dense forests, with only a corner of the ruined building exposed.
Walking into the dense forest, I came to this building. It was indeed a small Taoist temple, but the walls were tilted, and the door was covered with dust and cobwebs. It looked extremely dilapidated.
"Luo Wenzhi said that Chang Shengzi's handwriting records that he originally discovered the "Record of Heavenly Beasts. Earthworm Scroll" under the statue of the goddess in this Taoist temple."
Qin Gengyun remembered Luo Wenzhi's words just now and stepped forward to push open the dilapidated door.
Crunch!
A harsh sound sounded, and the broken wooden door was pushed open, revealing the scene in the Taoist temple.
The dusty ground, the broken incense burner with a corner missing, the rotten pillars, and the statue covered in cobwebs.
When everyone walked into the Taoist temple, their eyes were involuntarily attracted to the statue.
"ah?"
Fang Xue suddenly let out a soft cry, raised her hand and poured out her spiritual power, brushing away the dust and cobwebs on the statue.
Show the face of this statue.
She has delicate eyebrows and heroic spirit, and her long hair is tied into a single ponytail. Although she is sitting cross-legged on the ground, you can still see that she is tall and has slender legs.
Several people subconsciously turned their heads to look at Noila Mo.
"Uncle, isn't this statue your Taoist friend Mo? Ouch!"
Liusu covered the back of his head, not daring to talk nonsense under Qiu Zhihe's cold gaze, but Si Minglan next to him was equally surprised and looked at the statue and Mo Xiaolan carefully:
"Junior sister, we have lived in this Taoist temple for several days. Why didn't we find this statue in the Chang family dungeon that looks very similar to Taoist friend Mo?"
Noila Mo was also a little dazed. She walked to the statue and looked at it carefully.
The handsome eyebrows, heroic face, long hair tied into a single ponytail, and simple robes are all alike.
But after looking at it for a while, I felt that this statue seemed a little different from myself.
This feeling is very strange, like suddenly meeting someone on the road who looks very similar to me, but if you look closely, your facial features and temperament are different.
"This goddess is gentler than fellow Taoist Mo. She is smiling, as if she is smiling at her husband."
Qiu Zhihe said next to him, Qin Gengyun nodded:
"The appearance is similar but not the spirit. By the way, Xiaoxue, haven't you noticed that this goddess is very similar to Noila Mo?"
Fang Xue and Si Minglan looked at each other and shook their heads:
"At that time, we were all in a hurry to practice healing in the dungeon and didn't pay attention."
Fang Xue thought carefully: "And I remember that the face of the goddess statue was a little blurry at that time, not as clear as it is today."
"Yes, I remember that too!"
Si Minglan agreed and walked to the statue of the goddess with a sneer on her face:
"There is indeed something weird about this place."
She suddenly raised her hand and slapped it with a palm.
"Third Senior Sister!"
Fang Xue had no time to stop it, she just heard a roar and the statue of the goddess exploded into pieces. For a moment, smoke and dust filled the ground, and the fragments were all over the ground.
"Be careful, madam."
Qin Gengyun stood in front of Qiu Zhihe and Mo Xiaolan in case something changed.
Fang Xue and Si Minglan stood back to back with a tacit understanding in order to cope with possible changes.
Liusu looked around, okay, I'm the only one living alone, so I should die first, right?
After waiting for a while, when the smoke and dust dissipated, there was only one missing statue in the Taoist temple and one more debris, and nothing happened again.
"strangeness."
Si Minglan frowned. She clearly felt that something was wrong with the statue just now, but there was no change after breaking it, which surprised her.
"Third Senior Sister!"
Fang Xue suddenly let out a soft cry, and saw a brilliant light suddenly emitting from the tattered base that appeared after the statue was shattered.
Two colorful bones slowly rose into the air.
"Colored Bones?!"
Everyone was surprised. They didn't expect that there were two colorful bones hidden under the statue!
You must know that only powerful beings who are at least in the late Nascent Soul stage or above have the opportunity to leave their spiritual bones when they are incarnation.
The spiritual bones are full of aura and radiant, so they are called "colored bones".
A piece of colored bone contains the powerful monk's skills, cultivation insights, and fighting experience, and its value is much higher than a high-grade skill book.
And in this dilapidated and deserted Taoist temple, there are actually two colorful bones? !
Si Minglan was stunned: "Junior sister, we didn't find these two colored bones?"
Fang Xue murmured and shook her head: "But, Third Senior Sister, we searched everything inside this Taoist temple when we first moved in. It's impossible that we can't even notice Cai Gu!"
At this time, two pieces of colored bones were suspended in the air, colliding suddenly, emitting an even brighter light.
The light turned into a large light curtain, and an unexpected picture appeared in it.
