The young master, Zhuge Xiaobai, was as light as a swallow. He held one hand behind his back, and two gilded dice appeared in his hand. He kept fending off the Taoist's attacks. From the looks of it, he probably did not use all his strength against the Taoist, but seemed to want to spare the Taoist's life.
Zhuge Xiaobai wears a black suit, Xiaobai Zhimo, embroidered with white silver auspicious cloud patterns, blending in with the boundless night, and the whole person exudes a peaceful atmosphere.
His gilded dice flashed with golden light, constantly deflecting the attacks of the old Taoist in front of him.
Is this the old Taoist who bears the karma that his clan brother wants him to find?
Then you can know important information about Zhao Wuyan?
Even if his brother Zhuge Chi didn't mention it, Zhuge Xiaobai was still eager to know more information about Zhao Wuyang.
Zhao Wuyang is too mysterious, and his advancement speed is so fast, which has a lot to do with Daolian's secret realm.
He frowned deeply and couldn't help but think.
The old Taoist's robe was dark black with many tatters all over his body. Four red ropes were tied around his wrists and ankles. Copper coins were strung on the red ropes, extending into the dark space of the main hall behind him.
Zhuge Xiaobai observed the copper coins and roughly speculated that the old Taoist was either using the copper coins to rely on the power of some existence in the main hall behind him, or that these copper coins were actually suppressing evil objects that restricted the scope of the old Taoist's actions.
The latter is highly likely.
Because although the old Taoist in front of him was neatly dressed and his cheeks were rosy, his deep, dark eye bags and lifeless eyes gave people a strange feeling.
Especially the peach wood sword in his hand, every time it was swung or slashed towards Zhuge Xiaobai, there was a faint smell of fishy wind.
Moreover, when the old Taoist was chopping, his movements were a little stiff, filled with a contradictory feeling. He seemed to want to kill Zhuge Xiaobai quickly, but he also seemed not to want Zhuge Xiaobai to die under the peach wood sword.
This most likely means that the old Taoist is now unable to control himself and acts more like a puppet.
So Zhuge Xiaobai took action, just to fend off the old Taoist's offensive, but not to kill the old Taoist.
What's more, he may still need the help of an experienced Taoist.
Otherwise, with his current cultivation level that has reached the Venerable Realm, he can completely kill this old Taoist who has lost a lot of cultivation level.
In Zhuge Xiaobai's opinion, this old Taoist's cultivation level has reached 70% to 80% of the level of transforming into gods to ignite the fire of the soul.
In fact, before Zhuge Xiaobai entered the ancient temple at night, he had already roughly inferred what might have happened just by looking at the couplets on the lintel.
Only then did he have some words for Zhuge Jiawei.
In his inference, the ancient temple should have suffered drastic changes due to some reasons, causing the monks in the temple to flee and die.
Because of this, the Buddha nature of the entire temple is gradually disappearing.
Of course, it is also very likely that the culprit that caused the drastic changes in the ancient temple destroyed the Buddha nature in the temple.
Is this culprit an experienced Taoist?
Obviously not.
The old Taoist must have learned about the drastic changes in the ancient temple when the Daolian secret realm was opened, or he passed by the ancient temple by chance and discovered the situation inside the ancient temple. With his powerful Taoist cultivation, he wanted to Kill the culprit and save the ancient temple from danger.
It's a pity that the old Taoist has a good heart, but he underestimated the power of the culprit. He failed to suppress the evil spirit of the culprit, and instead his body was manipulated.
It's just that the old Taoist has good cultivation and profound Taoism, so he can still struggle mentally.
Perhaps in the few remaining sane moments, the old Taoist used his profound Taoist skills to create a seal to suppress the behavior that restrained him, and thus there were those copper coins strung with red ropes.
Copper coins are commonly used items by Taoist people. Whether they are used to ward off evil spirits or to create hexagrams, they are of great use.
Zhuge Xiaobaiyun was calm and ducking on the eaves of the side hall. He saw the slight swaying struggle in the old Taoist's eyes, so he didn't hold back any more.
Instead, he rotated the glazed dice in his hand and raised his hand to suppress the old Taoist until he retreated steadily.
