When a group of people walked past the edge of the lotus pond and walked along the path towards the detour, they saw a white stone tower appearing in front of them on the right!
This is the Wanshou Pagoda in Nantuopu Temple.
There are two Wanshou Towers in total, located at both ends of the Life Release Pond next to the Lotus Pond.
At a height of about three to four meters of the Wanshou Pagoda, there is a circle of Bodhisattva statues carved on it.
The statue looks dignified and sacred, and seems to be able to drive away all evil spirits.
On the left front, there is a spring, and clear spring water gushes out and then falls down.
The group of people just glanced at all this without paying much attention and continued to move forward.
From the current feeling, they are like a group of tourists visiting the temple.
But it seemed that only a few of them were active in the entire temple.
After turning a corner, everyone saw the life-release pond adjacent to the lotus pond.
However, when Zhang Junmo and others passed by, they saw no living creatures in the release pool.
The surface of the pool was dead silent, and nothing could be seen clearly under the turbid water.
Looking at the silent surroundings, Gao Shengzhong couldn't help but whispered: "The pure place of Buddhism is now filled with weirdness and darkness, and there is a dead silence. What a ghost!"
Zhang Junmo glanced at him and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the ghost hasn't come out yet!"
In fact, the temple does not occupy a very large area.
The entrance path to the east and west gates is divided on both sides by a lotus pond.
At this time, standing at the corner of the path, Zhang Junmo and his party had already seen several other people at the intersection more than 100 meters away.
The two sides did not come together.
Chu Yan led a few people along the road to the Tianwang Palace at the main entrance.
The other group of people continued to go deeper along the east path.
However, it was such a big temple. The nine soldiers were divided into two groups and it only took a few minutes to conduct a thorough inspection.
From start to finish, everything works!
It's so normal that readers almost feel that the author has rewritten a travel article.
Even, Chu Yan and another Nascent Soul Realm expert climbed to the Five Immortals Mountain together and conducted a blanket search on the entire mountain.
But the final result is that everything is normal!
None of them saw even a single ghost.
No!
Except for themselves, they saw almost nothing moving in the entire temple, including the Five Immortals Mountain behind.
There are no people, no ghosts, and no living creatures!
The entire Nantupu Temple was completely empty!
"What exactly is going on!"
Zhang Junmo's eyes narrowed slightly and he began to think.
When I walked in before, I clearly felt like I was entering a ghost land.
But why, everyone has completely searched this temple, but found nothing?
This shouldn't be the case.
The nine people gathered again at the entrance of the Heavenly King's Hall.
Zhang Junmo's eyes swept over both sides. On both sides of the main entrance of the Heavenly King's Hall, there were two places offering incense.
When we met before, we found that there were exactly nine incense sticks in the three incense gift boxes.
In addition to the five incense sticks that Chu Yan took, there were four incense sticks in the other two incense places.
Just right, one for each person.
"Is it possible?"
Zhang Junmo suddenly thought of something and was about to speak.
But Chu Yan and another Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse suddenly took out the incense and distributed it to everyone.
This made Zhang Junmo want to complain.
What's going on?
Can one or two of you read minds or something?
But it seems that the elders have very strong thinking skills!
Think about it, Yuanying is a fusion of true essence and soul, and can even exist independently of the outside body.
It's the equivalent of having two brains to think with.
Although my thinking ability is extremely powerful at this time, others may not be worse than me.
"In this current situation, the only way we can get in touch with the supernatural is through these incense sticks."
Chu Yan speculated: "Nine incense sticks, just one for each of us. It's as if they were prepared for us in advance."
"Either this fragrance is a trap."
"Either this incense is a key! A key that opens the real door here!"
Everyone took the Buddhist incense and was slightly startled when they heard Chu Yan's words.
Then everyone looked at the Buddhist incense without any hesitation in their eyes.
One of them raised his finger, and immediately, nine Buddhist incense sticks were lit.
A burst of smoke filled the air, but it seemed to be pulled by something, surrounding the nine people.
When the smoke covered everyone's eyes, everyone was stunned on the spot!
At this moment, they seemed to have stepped into another world!
A place filled with death and ruin...
A world like hell!
There were still dark clouds in the sky above our heads.
But unlike before, only this area was shrouded in dark clouds, the entire sky was extremely dark.
The world seems to be covered with a filter, appearing gray and losing its color.
Zhang Junmo glanced around, seeing black spots floating in the air, like ashes floating after burning objects.
My throat feels strange when I breathe.
At this moment, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"This...is this hell!"
Hu Lai also looked at the changes around him.
His eyes moved, and everything he saw was like special effects in a movie. The walls fell off, the ground was broken and dirty, and the house became crooked, full of ruins, and there were holes everywhere.
The dark wind blew, and a sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves could be heard in the dilapidated building.
The life-release pond in front of the Heavenly King's Hall now turned scarlet, like blood!
The color of the pool water changed suddenly, and it actually became more transparent than before.
Looking through the water, there are actually twisted and weird corpses piled up one after another!
Standing on the two Longevity Pagodas on both sides of the Free Life Pond, the originally carved Bodhisattva statues have now turned into mummies embedded in the towers!
The mummies were placed in various poses, as if imitating the compassionate statues of the Buddhas.
It's just that their eye sockets are empty, their mouths are wide open, and their faces are distorted.
Instead it looks like a struggle.
It has nothing to do with the so-called Buddha who is compassionate and compassionate to all sentient beings!
Obviously, they suffered unimaginable despair and pain during their lives.
The fountain no longer splashed, replaced by stinking blood.
What floats on the lotus pond are no longer lotus flowers and lotus leaves.
The previous lotus leaves turned into pale and bloodless human skin!
And surrounded by the human skin, the originally blooming lotus flower turned into a complete human face!
Everything has changed!
The temple that originally looked almost normal along the way, at this moment, truly turned into a ghost temple that seemed to be built in hell!
"in the end……"
"What the hell..."
"How many people died!"
Even those who had experienced countless life-and-death fights and had extremely strong mental and willpower were stunned by the scene before them at this moment.
"What...are we protecting?"
Some people even had doubts.
Among them, Hu Lai was included.
They are proud to be members of the Dragon Court, and they work hard to practice and protect the city.
Nowadays, when it comes to social stability, the Kingdom of China is definitely second to none in the world!
And this is the result of all their efforts!
But what about now?
Looking at the countless corpses.
Are they... not the very existence that they are trying to protect?
"Calm down!"
However, at this moment, Chu Yan and another Nascent Soul Realm strongman shouted loudly almost at the same time.
Their voices were accompanied by powerful spiritual fluctuations that swept across the crowd.
Immediately, several people who had been mired in self-doubt suddenly woke up!
Damn it!
Hu Lai was horrified. He didn't expect that just seeing the scene in front of him would affect his spirit and will.
At the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he has an absolutely strong spirit and will!
In theory, it shouldn't be affected so easily.
But the problem is, the more they care about life and their responsibilities, the greater the impact will be when they see this scene!
Naturally, there will also be some fluctuations in spiritual will.
No one blames them.
On the contrary, it can only show that they truly love this country, this city, and the people they protect.
Zhang Junmo's heart grew cold.
In the priest's professional state, his mental will is extremely tenacious, and the sacred aura filling his body makes him immune to this slight influence of consciousness.
But a ball of anger emerged in his heart!
Are the corpses here people who died here, or people who were killed because of the evil spirits spreading in the temple?
If it is the former, then this will mean that the people who died because of this temple are far more than what they see!
If it's the latter, it doesn't make the crime any less serious.
No matter which one, it means that the existence hidden here is crazy and is the absolute opposite of human beings!
"This temple has existed for more than a thousand years. The corpses here may not be those who were killed recently."
Chu Yan walked to the release pool, took a closer look at the corpses under the pool, and then said: "Although these people's clothes do not have obvious modern or ancient styles, we can roughly tell that some of the styles of clothes were at least twenty or thirty years ago. style."
"In other words, the corpses here have been piling up since at least twenty or thirty years ago?"
Du Wenhe's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't feel at all relaxed in his heart.
Although the corpses here have been piled up for a long time, it does not mean that they are qualified to relieve their guilt.
On the contrary, because people have been brutally killed in this temple for decades, Longting had no idea about it and felt even more ashamed.
This shows that as the guardians of Xiacheng, they have not done enough!
"Now is not the time to think about this. I think we may have to deal with the immediate trouble first!"
Chu Yan's words brought everyone back to their senses.
Only then did they notice that there were sparse sounds coming from around them.
Zhang Junmo suddenly focused his eyes and looked at the Wanshou Tower, which had tilted down and became gray and dilapidated.
The mummy that was originally embedded in it suddenly started to move.
At the same time, blood no longer spurted out from the fountains at the intersections on both sides, but dense sounds could be heard faintly.
It felt like there were countless insects crawling!
Almost as soon as Zhang Junmo had this idea, he saw countless blood-red bugs starting to spray out from where the fountain had been!
"Damn it! Labor and management have trypophobia!"
Densely packed bugs gush out like a fountain, and then like a red carpet, they continue to spread along the ground from both sides.
But under everyone's feet, the shadows that were not clear in the dim light suddenly became as dark as ink, and the shadows quickly lengthened and became extremely weird!
Everyone who originally planned to jump to the roof to avoid the bugs felt that their bodies were a little out of control, and they were suddenly stunned!
Then they saw the shadow change.
Zhang Junmo didn't care about these things at all. The light attribute power in his body surrounded him, instantly cutting off the influence from the shadow.
The manipulation power from the shadow was too weak for him, not enough to allow him to expend his strength to resist.
Maybe it's because the ghost that controls the shadow is not strong enough.
Li ghosts do not have clear and specific realm divisions like practitioners, but so far Long Ting has judged based on the supernatural intelligence collected that the divisions of Li ghosts only have differences in large realms, and there is no obvious difference in small realms.
Because if a ghost kills according to certain rules, it will be difficult to determine the lethality.
Some people have the ability to restrain evil spirits without being affected, and some people are strong but completely unable to stop evil spirits from killing people.
Only by crossing a large realm to form absolute suppression can one ignore the evil ghosts at a lower level.
Generally speaking, the corpses controlled by the ghosts or the ghosts that turn into residual thoughts after being severely injured will have a lower level of strength than the original ghosts and have no consciousness, just like robots.
Zhang Junmo released the shadow ghost's control almost instantly. At the same time, he stepped on the ground with the sole of his foot, and the light attribute power penetrated through the sole of the foot, directly turning the shadow ghost into nothingness silently!
In the game, priests control the power of thunder and lightning and the sacred power of light, but in the game attributes, both powers belong to the light system.
In reality, Zhang Junmo possesses two different powers.
But the same thing is that these two forces have strong restraint on evil spirits!
Moreover, with the effect of the title "Playing with Ghosts" increasing the damage dealt to ghosts/ghosts by 20%, Zhang Junmo is like a walking sun against the shadow ghosts who are no better than refining gods!
The 20% light attribute increase provided by the skill Ruthless Strike is also effective for Zhang Junmo's thunder element.
In silence, a thunder circle appeared under Zhang Junmo's feet.
On the surface, the ground around Zhang Junmo seemed unchanged.
However, when the swarm of blood-red insects in front of him surged toward Zhang Junmo, his movements suddenly froze, and then he lost all movement.
Others also got rid of the shadow ghost's influence at this time and used their abilities to kill the blood-red bugs.
The insect swarm looks scary, but it's just bugs.
What is really concerning is the mummy slowly crawling down from the Wanshou Tower, and the corpse crawling out of the life-release pond from unknown time!
Upon closer inspection, there were nine mummies and corpses emerging from the pool.
"Is this a one-to-one correspondence for the nine of us?"
Zhang Junmo guessed this in his heart.
The horrific attack as imagined did not occur. The mummies and the white and swollen corpses soaked in the pool just walked behind the group of people.
"Are these guys simply trying to cling to us?"
Everyone saw the current situation.
But even if there is no attack, no one would want to be possessed by such a thing.
Diaphragm response!
boom!
boom!
A burst of breath, not even a serious attack, these corpses were directly shaken away!
However, at the moment when these nine corpses were turned into ashes, nine more corpses appeared in front of everyone.
Explode again!
Appear again!
Several times in a row, over and over again.
"Ghost slave?"
Zhang Junmo looked at the corpses that were as fierce as robots and kept approaching everyone, and said softly.
It seems that there is a source ghost behind this controlling everything.
Its purpose is to make these ghosts attach themselves to everyone, and then use them as carriers to leave here and spread the unknown?
In other words, use them to kill people with superpowers?
I have to say, the idea is quite good, there are many superpowers in Longting!
Ah!
However, no matter what is hidden behind it, today, it will all be destroyed!
