At this time, the sounds outside the cave gradually disappeared, and only the cold wind could be heard blowing through the deserted night in the empty mountain. The noise came repeatedly from the treetops and grass, and the coldness slowly poured into the stone chamber along the entrance of the cave.
The cold moon slanted into the cave entrance, like a layer of white frost hanging on the tiles.
There are many paper figures in the stone room. Without the control of silk threads and candlelight, the chessboard stone is like a stone coffin, surrounded by a circle of colorful paper figures who were buried with them, making it eerie and strange.
"No more delay, let's go out first."
Jiang Wen stopped exercising and slowly guided his inner breath back into the sea of qi, "The White Lotus Sect should have left."
"It's weird, the demon from the White Lotus Sect seems to have stopped moving!"
Yuan Huazi listened for a moment and said worriedly, "But it is said that the holy boy of the White Lotus Sect is sinister, vicious and extremely ugly. Just the sight of his appearance can scare children into tears. You must be careful about ambush."
"The Holy Child can make a child cry at night? Then why not use Zhang Liao as a hedge?"
Jiang Wenhun stood up nonchalantly and patted the dust on his clothes: "An ambush is no longer possible. The other party has been carrying me from the bottom of the mountain. The tense situation just now was just a suspicion strategy. This is how the White Lotus Sect has always acted."
"What is real is false, and what is false is true. The experts they sent this time are more valuable than many. In order to act in secret, they are unable to divide their troops to surround them. They must have combined their forces to pursue more valuable people."
The sounds outside the cave just now seemed majestic, but most of them were forged by ventriloquism and utensils. It can only be said that they have used ancient color tricks to their peak.
Yuan Huazi was shocked when he heard this: "No! They must be chasing my apprentice!"
Jiang Wen frowned: "Master, wasn't the Taoist Priest arrested along with you?"
Yuan Huazi said with great annoyance: "My disciple stole our artifacts last night and disappeared earlier. Now that the White Lotus Sect didn't get what they wanted from me, they must have gone after him!" "
There have always been only two Taoist priests in Huixian Temple. Jiang Wen didn't even ask him for his Taoist name. He just kept calling him "little Taoist" and "little Taoist". He didn't notice any conflict between the old and the young?
Jiang Wen always felt that this old Taoist priest was acting strange tonight.
"Master, no matter what, I will send you down the mountain first. If you stay here, you will be afraid that things will change."
Jiang Wen thought about it for a moment and decided to save everyone one by one. Yuan Huazi also agreed with a tangled expression. After making sure that there was no ambush at the entrance of the cave, he slowly left the Han Sacrificial Pavilion.
But not long after Jiang and Wen left, a paper figurine in Chinese clothes suddenly began to shake in the cave, as if something was about to hatch out of it, making it vaguely invisible.
After a while, the large Tianguan paper figurine suddenly fell to the ground, and a short figure emerged from the paper torn at the bottom.
"No wonder the holy lady of our religion said that this person is extremely difficult to deal with. Unexpectedly, his intelligence and martial arts skills make him difficult to deal with."
A shady-faced boy wearing white crane feathers was looking at eight old and new corpses on the ground with an extremely ugly look on his face.
He is the Holy Boy of the Red Sun who is leading this operation of the White Lotus Sect. He was so angry after fighting Jiang Wen just now that he couldn't escape from the cave, so he took advantage of the gap between the eight generals of Qingshan to hide in the paper man. I have been holding my breath until now - these paper figures were made by skillful craftsmen. They look fairy-like under the lamp and look hideous in the darkness, which is a perfect place to hide them.
Because he was harvested in his early years and had a special appearance, he has been using the White Crane Boy as the guide of the Eight Generals of Qingshan to hide his identity.
Normal opponents would never imagine that the ninth person next to the Eighth General Qingshan would be a child-like internal master, so they were often easily plotted against him.
"The Han Yuan Shougong Incense has been obtained, so I don't mind not asking for the secret recipe for the time being."
The Holy Child of Hongyang is as skinny as a zombie, without any sanctity, and his expression is also gloomy and terrifying. It is precisely this terrifying appearance that makes people believe in the theory of ghosts and gods in shock.
"God General Liujia has already gone to arrest the young Taoist priests and snatch the Taoist Priest's Promotion Ceremony. Goddess Liuding originally stayed at Zhizhi'an to guard against the young Taoist priests. Two of them have not returned yet. I think they were secretly following them. Wait until this book It would be a pity for the Eight Generals of Qingshan to teach men and horses to converge in one place..."
He slowly reviewed the records in "The Book of Immortal Immortals of Xunji" while digesting what Jiang Wen and Yuan Huazi had just said.
"These two people have never read "The Book of Immortal Immortality", so they must not know its secrets. As long as they get these two things, the banquet of "Ascension to Immortality" will be in front of me."
…………
The moonlight was miserable at Dawang Peak, the clouds were calming, and the wind was blowing. It seemed as if something ominous was haunting the mountain. There were always faint footsteps following along the way, but they disappeared without a trace when I stared at them intently.
Yuan Ziyi and Yan Yongchun hurried up the mountain, following Jiang Wen's description from Zhang Xianyan to Tianjianchi. They saw countless corpses hanging in coffins in the dark valleys of Yin Ruins, and they were frightened along the way.
Until they successfully arrived at Tongtian Rock, they didn't see the sect's main hall that Jiang Wen mentioned, but only saw a few thatched huts swaying in the night wind.
The two girls searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone. Finally, they saw a little head floating in a big tank...
Xiao Shitou was sleeping in the medicine jar when he was woken up in the middle of the night, looking at the stranger in front of him in a daze.
Looking at the child in front of him, Yuan Ziyi was a little confused - why was he sleeping in the water tank?
Moreover, she still remembered Jiang Wen confidently telling her that the top disciples of Wuyi Sect were staying on the mountain, and they would not be in danger as long as they went up the mountain.
Yuan Ziyi originally thought she would see the young knight trained by Jiang Wen, but the one in front of her was obviously still a child...
"...Are you Xiao Shitou? We are your master's friends and sent Wen Ding and Ning Die back."
No matter what, Yuan Ziyi still showed off her spring breeze, with a smile as bright as the dawn moon shining on flowers. She was confident that with this look, she could easily win the trust of children and find out something about this Wuyi sect.
Xiao Shitou scratched his head, glanced at the unconscious Ningdie and the stupid Wen Ding, and showed an extremely confused expression.
"Oh, let's put them inside."
After saying that, he lay back in the tank without hesitation.
Yuan Ziyi quickly stopped Xiao Shitou from lying down.
"Wait a minute, your master hasn't come back yet, aren't you worried?"
Xiao Shitou thought about it expressionlessly.
"Master said that you don't have to wait for him until he comes back. He also asked me to remember to boil the pot and put the medicine in. It's cold outside and I have to soak it in the pot."
Yan Yongchun and Yuan Ziyi were stunned and thought for a long time. They really couldn't understand what this meant and why the disciples of the Jiang Wen family stayed up in the middle of the night and soaked in the medicine jar.
Yan Yongchun was worried about causing trouble to others, so he quickly asked Xiao Shitou: "Little Shitou, is there anyone else on the mountain? Has your master told you anything else?"
Xiao Shitou thought silently for a long time and shook his head.
"Grandpa Ye and I are the only two people on the mountain. In the evening, when he saw that Master hadn't come back, he stayed with me. He should be sleeping in the house next to Tianjian Pond now."
After Yuan Ziyi asked a few more questions, he became more and more frightened. It turned out that this silly young apprentice and the groom Lao Ye were the only ones stationed in the Wuyi Sect.
The White Lotus Sect must still be following them secretly at this time. If they were to kill them, the two of them might not be able to protect the old and the young.
Yuan Ziyi and Yan Yongchun looked at each other and realized what the other meant.
"Sister Ziyi, you guys hide at the top of the mountain. I'll go down and see if the White Lotus Sect has followed."
Yan Yongchun spoke first.
Among them, she has the highest level of martial arts and is in the best condition at this time, so she feels that she has no shirk. As long as the delay lasts for a while, Yuan Ziyi will be more confident that he can escape from the tiger's mouth with the young and old.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the mountain road, and soon a somewhat stooped old man was walking up the stone steps holding a horse.
"You two must be guests of the master. The old man led his horse to patrol the mountains just now. I hope to atone for my failure to welcome you from a distance."
The groom, Lao Ye, was thin and frail. He was trying to speak in quaint ways, which seemed a bit jerky and rigid, and he was trying his best to calm the agitated tall horse.
"Mountain patrol? Why didn't we see you just now? Didn't you encounter anything strange?"
Yuan Ziyi asked doubtfully.
"I was patrolling the mountain path. I didn't meet you two, nor did I see anything strange. However, I was bitten by a locust twice on my leg..."
The groom, Old Ye, defended in a nonchalant manner, and just patted the cloth bag on the horse's back, which was heavy as if it contained something.
