As the gloomy resentment filled the surroundings, groups of resentful spirits passed through the protective light of the temple and poured into the temple like a black tide.
Their faces contorted, they let out blood-curdling howls, and lunged straight at us.
Qin Wuyan waved his long sword, and sword lights cut through the night sky, killing one resentful spirit after another.
I recited a spell, and the talisman in my hand turned into streaks of golden light, which violently collided with the resentful spirit.
While we were struggling to resist, the figure of the temple god became taller and taller. Its hands were connected in seals and it was chanting ancient and mysterious mantras.
As the mantra sounded, the light in the temple became more intense, forming a huge light shield, isolating us from the resentful spirits.
Suddenly, strange runes flashed out of the light shield. They were circling and flying like living creatures, hitting the resentful spirits.
Every resentful spirit that comes into contact seems to be purified, letting out a scream before turning into nothingness.
The sight was both shocking and horrifying, and it left me in a state of awe.
However, there seems to be an endless stream of incoming resentful spirits. They seem to be driven by some strong will to break through the light shield at all costs.
Qin Wuyan and I felt unprecedented pressure, but we had no way out and could only continue to fight.
At this moment, the girl walked up to me again, with an indescribable determination in her eyes.
"I can help you." Her voice suddenly became clear and firm, and then her body began to glow faintly. She slowly stretched out her hands towards the resentful spirits.
In the light of the girl, the resentful spirits seemed to have encountered natural enemies, retreated one after another, and even began to kill each other.
Qin Wuyan and I both looked at this scene in shock and looked at the girl in disbelief.
Her identity is obviously not as simple as she said.
As the resentful spirits were gradually eliminated, the darkness in the outside world began to dissipate, and a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon.
The light shield in the temple slowly disappeared, and the figure of the temple god gradually returned to its original state. It looked at us with a glimmer of approval in its eyes.
"You did a good job." It said slowly, and then its eyes turned to the girl. "As for you, little girl, your power doesn't seem to be extraordinary."
The girl lowered her head and said nothing.
Her identity and power have become a mystery hanging in our hearts.
The aftermath of the night battle gradually subsided, and we sat around in the temple, resting and discussing the battle just now and the next plan.
As the night gradually dissipated, the atmosphere in the temple began to calm down.
We sat around the fire, tending to our wounds in silence, occasionally exchanging glances.
The girl sat quietly aside, her existence like an unsolved mystery that was both surprising and unsettling.
"Who are you?" Qin Wuyan finally broke the silence, staring straight at the girl.
The girl looked up. Her eyes were full of depth and wisdom. Such eyes seemed like they shouldn't appear on a little girl's face.
"I am the guardian spirit of this mountain and the spirit of this land." She said softly, with a kind of detachment and tranquility in her voice.
We looked at each other with incredible expressions.
Yan Shan’s guardian spirit? This sounds like a legendary story, but judging from the power she just displayed, it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration.
"Why do you want to help us?" I asked, full of curiosity about this little guardian spirit.
The girl looked at me with a smile: "Because I feel your determination. You are searching for the souls of your loved ones. This is a pure and firm will.
And I, as the guardian of this land, naturally do not want it to be eroded by those resentments and darkness. "
We all fell silent after hearing this.
Her words made us feel an inexplicable sense of responsibility and mission. It turns out that our journey is not only about personal goals, but also about the harmony and tranquility of this land and the world.
The temple god said slowly from the side: "Now that you know the identity of this little girl, she will be an important help for you to go to the depths of Yan Mountain.
But remember, the road to Yanshan is full of dangers. Even with the help of guardian spirits, you cannot take it lightly. "
We nodded in understanding.
Although the journey is dangerous, at least we are no longer alone.
With the help of the temple deities and guardian spirits, we felt a little more confident.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shines through the window lattice, illuminating every corner of the temple.
We stood up, ready to hit the road again.
The girl walked up to us, looked at us deeply, then turned into a breeze and disappeared into the temple.
"Let's go, there are more secrets waiting for us to discover in the depths of Yan Mountain." Qin Wuyan said, his eyes flashing with determination and expectation.
As the first ray of sunshine in the morning illuminated the temple, we packed our bags and prepared to embark on a new journey.
The road to Yanshan is winding, shrouded in clouds and mist, and every step is full of unknowns and dangers.
In this mountain that connects the world and hell, there are too many mysteries waiting for us to solve.
Walking on the rugged mountain road, I couldn't help but ask Qin Wuyan: "You haven't mentioned it before, why are you so insistent on going into the depths of Yan Mountain?"
Qin Wuyan was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly, with a hint of sadness and determination in his voice: "I was born in an ancient Taoist family, and I was supposed to have a lifetime of glory and peace, but the power struggle in the family caused me to lose my parents.
I want to enter hell to find the legendary Sky Burial Technique. This technique is extremely powerful and can only be found in the depths of hell. It is strangely consistent with my physique. If I can practice it successfully, I will have the opportunity to return to my family. , to avenge his parents. "
Listening to Qin Wuyan's words, I couldn't help but feel deep sympathy and respect in my heart.
He is willing to embark on such a dangerous path for the sake of his family. His courage and determination are unparalleled.
As we continued to move forward, the environment in Yanshan began to become more and more strange.
The sparse trees twist their branches, as if telling unknown secrets.
The occasional gusts of wind sound like ghosts crying.
The thick fog obscured the view, making it possible to see only a few steps ahead.
There is no sign of life here, only silence and coldness.
"The smell here is unsettling," I said nervously.
"Yes, Yanshan is not only the passage to hell, but also the habitat of many resentful spirits and evil creatures.
We must be careful not to touch the taboo here easily. Qin Wuyan replied, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
As we continued to move forward, we suddenly felt a powerful breath coming from the front, and then, a huge shadow enveloped us.
