But it was said that Xu Huaigu and his party had basically cleared away the ghosts. When they arrived at the Huanglong Temple, the next thing to do was to use Huanglong Temple as a position to slowly clean up the surrounding ghosts. However, the main team led by Chen Shaochun was still struggling to the west. A bitter battle.
Although Xu Huaigu attacked a lot of ghosts in the south, there were even more ghosts in the west. There were three ghosts from the Sixth Realm alone, and nearly a dozen ghosts from the Fifth Realm. Chen Shaochun and his group of monks fought very hard in this battle. difficult.
Fortunately, there was a master of Kuzen who was in charge, and he had mastered Buddhism to defeat ghosts. Just by chanting Buddhist sutras, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered. Moreover, this spiritual energy had great restraint on ghosts, so one person was able to hold down two six people. The ghosts in the environment, and they have the upper hand.
Occasionally, he could still distract himself to sweep away the imps around him, so the two sides were still in a draw despite the confrontation between the high-level monks.
However, Chen Shaochun's worries became more and more serious as the battle progressed, because for some reason, the ghost king who was at least in the sixth or even seventh realm had not appeared yet.
And if she shows up, the situation will probably change drastically. Worrying in his heart was useless. Chen Shaochun, who only wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, abandoned his position as the commander, and purely regarded himself as a fifth-level martial artist. He also rushed forward, and actually faced the master who was fighting with Kuchan directly. The two six-level ghosts left.
What Chen Shaochun thought was that as long as Master Kuchan took out his hand, the little ghosts below the fifth level would have almost no resistance in front of him. In this way, low-level monks would die much less.
Chen Shaochun was born in the army. He saw countless flesh and blood flying on the battlefield, and was separated from life and death. Now he is old and has lived a comfortable life. After all, he doesn't want to see anyone die anymore.
However, he is worthy of being a martial artist who can become a county magistrate, so his spirit is naturally very high, and a martial artist must pay attention to his spirit when punching.
Facing the two six-level ghosts, he showed no fear and just threw out punches one after another. In addition, while Master Kuchan was reciting Buddhist scriptures, he also offered a high-quality magic weapon and Buddhist scriptures. For a time, the surroundings were enveloped in a faint Under the golden light, the cultivation of those ghosts was somewhat suppressed, so Chen Shaochun and Master Kuchan gained the upper hand more firmly.
However, the more the two six-level ghosts were forced into desperation, the closer they were to dissipating. Instead of being happy, Chen Shaochun felt more and more uneasy in his heart.
The loss of two six-level ghosts is no small matter for Li Chuanshan, it can be said to be a serious loss of vitality. It's just that these two six-level ghosts are about to be killed, but the ghost king is still missing. Why is this?
Did the ghost king know that he would be defeated today, so he ran away? Or is it that the Ghost King still has a backup plan, so he doesn't care about the life or death of these two Sixth Realm ghosts?
The last thing to do when punching is to be distracted. Chen Shaochun suppressed his random thoughts and concentrated on the situation in front of him. He cooperated with Master Kuchan to punch, forcing the two ghosts to retreat.
Chen Shaochun punched forward again. The Sixth Realm ghost that his fist was facing was already at the point of exhaustion. He was so cruel that he didn't even try to hide. He gathered his spiritual energy with all his strength and charged at Chen Shaochun. Come up.
His cultivation in the Sixth Realm was at stake at this time. He ignored his injuries and the spiritual energy around him surged crazily. This was his deathbed counterattack. He wanted to die together with Chen Shaochun.
Chen Shaochun was startled and hurriedly wanted to retreat, but he didn't know what kind of spell the ghost used, and it actually locked his steps, making him unable to move.
Chen Shaochun finally panicked and suddenly realized that he was too negligent. Even if it is a six-level ghost that is about to dissipate, it is still one level higher than him. If he fights for his life, he cannot be his opponent.
The feeling of death that he had felt when fighting on the battlefield in the early years, when hand-to-hand combat came to mind again. Chen Shaochun gritted his teeth unwillingly, as if he was ready to accept the consequences of his negligence.
However, he saw the Buddha's light suddenly blooming behind him, and suddenly the surrounding area was filled with golden light and everything was completely silent. Under this golden light, the ferocious ghost that was so close to him dissipated in the blink of an eye.
Chen Shaochun was stunned by this scene and gasped for air. He turned around, only to see Master Kuchan still sitting where he was, reciting Buddhist sutras and looking directly at him.
Chen Shaochun lowered his head in annoyance and said: "Master, I was reckless, thank you for helping me!" The monk, who was thirty years younger than Chen Shaochun, accepted it calmly, but his eyebrows were a little unhappy after all, and he said: "Actually, why should Almsgiver Chen be so anxious? The Rudraksha Bodhi seed passed down from my sect is a priceless treasure. It's not worth it to use it for two of their six-level ghosts." Chen Shaochun glanced at the man who had been carrying the pain. The Buddhist beads on the Zen master's wrist are indeed one less than the previous few days. It seems that this is the Rudraksha he mentioned, which should be a very powerful consumable treasure.
Chen Shaochun apologized a few more times, and then asked Master Kuchan: "Master, there is something I don't understand. Logically speaking, these two six-level ghosts are not dispensable in Lichuan Mountain. , but they have all been killed by us, so why doesn’t the Ghost King come to the rescue?” Master Kuchan looked at Chen Shaochun, a little confused and said, “I don’t know, but the Ghost King will definitely not sit still and wait for death. She is now I should do something very important again, and I can't separate myself from it. I'm afraid it won't be that simple to go up the mountain this time, and I'm afraid it will cause trouble again. I was confused before, this Lichuan Mountain is not very suitable for ghosts to live, why is there still one? Only the great ghosts from the Seventh Realm are willing to move here. It seems that this mountain must still hide secrets that we don't know about." Chen Shaochun frowned, knowing in his heart that this possibility does exist, and he seemed to have some intention of retreating.
He asked Master Kuchan: "Master, we have killed a lot of ghosts today, and the vitality of Lichuan Mountain has been seriously damaged. Since you said that there may be another accident, why don't you retreat now and find out what is hidden in Lichuan Mountain when you go back?" Secret, let’s make some plans, what do you think?” Master Kuchan asked, “Why is that so? You spent a lot of money on the monks here. If you want them to go up the mountain next time, I’m afraid it will be even harder.” Chen Shaochun sighed and said: "I really don't want to see our monks killed or injured anymore. And judging from today's situation, the ghost king must have reached the seventh level. Do we have any chance of winning?" Master Kuchan said: "I can match the seventh level. Realm ghost."
"But there may be changes. If the Ghost King really has a backup plan, are we really sure to defeat him?" Master Kuchan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, if I am the only one, it really won't be possible." I can guarantee that we can win. But there is a natural sword fetus hidden among those who went up the mountain today. With her here, we will not lose." When Chen Shaochun heard the four words "natural sword fetus", he suddenly trembled and said in disbelief: " How is that possible! Isn't it said that there are only seven people in the world who are born with sword fetuses? If there is one person in Baihai, why don't I know?" Master Kuchan asked: "Since he was born with sword fetuses and acted secretly, how could you know? "Chen Shaochun calmed down and asked hurriedly: "Does the master know who she is?" Kuchan smiled slightly and said: "I can't say it out loud, so let's kill the ghosts here first. Then it will be natural. You'll know."... Inside Huanglong Temple, Xu Huaigu and his party entered the Taoist temple at this time and were looking around to check the situation in the Taoist temple in case there were ghosts entrenched in it.
Xu Huaigu took the long sword
"Xiao Yu", followed by Huang Shan and Zuo Qiuxun, walked directly into the main hall. What comes to you is a large and magnificent mural in the main hall, which depicts an auspicious yellow dragon rising up.
There is a red sun in the sky, emitting thousands of rays of light. Under the sun are all living things, and above the living creatures is a yellow auspicious dragon, flying upwards with a green jade bead in its mouth.
White clouds were billowing in the sky, and there was an exit between the white clouds that emitted golden light, seemingly leading to the fairyland.
This painting was really too lifelike. Xu Huaigu admired it carefully for a while before continuing to look at the rest of the main hall.
I saw a statue of an immortal under the mural, which was plated with gold. The statue is of an old Taoist priest, wearing a long Taoist crown and his Taoist robes fluttering in the wind. He holds a volume of Taoist scriptures in his left hand and a peach wood sword in his right hand.
He was looking directly at the scroll in his left hand with serious eyes, while the sword in his right hand remained in his hand, making the whole sculpture very majestic.
Zuo Qiu Who is it?" Even Zuo Qiuxun said he didn't know, and Xu Huaigu didn't know even more. So he didn't answer Zuo Qiuxun's words, but changed the topic and said, "This statue is actually plated with a layer of gold. I must have said it before. The incense in this Taoist temple must be very strong, maybe this unknown deity is really efficacious." Huang Shan shook his head and said: "This kind of Taoist temple is not efficacious. It is worshiped by unknown Taoists. How can it be said to be efficacious? What's more, it's even more so among these mountains and fields. If you want to enshrine it in those Taoist temples, then it's really the immortals of Buddhism and Taoism who have ascended from ancient times. Only then will it be efficacious." Zuo Qiuxun also said: "That's true. , some people say that the Buddhist and Taoist families do not worship small temples. However, there are not no temples to worship in the mountains and fields, but they are replaced by the local landscape gods. As long as they worship the temples of the mountain god Hepo carefully and accumulate incense, they can guarantee that Everything is safe." Xu Huaigu understood what he was saying, and after carefully looking around the main hall, he returned to the two of them and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Do you think it's a little strange? Along the way, there are ghosts everywhere on the hillside. Why is there no ghost in this Taoist temple?" Huang Shan wondered and guessed: "Is it because this Taoist temple is naturally capable of restraining ghosts and the ghosts do not dare to come?" Zuo Qiu Xun rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are talking nonsense, how can you say that? Is this the truth? You see that the dilapidated temples in the mountains are the easiest to attract ghosts. Is it also because of restraining ghosts? With your behavior, I can’t believe that you have been out there for several years as a wild cultivator. " Huang. Shan knew what he said didn't make sense and was stabbed by Zuo Qiu, so he looked away with a shy face.
Xu Huaigu asked her, "Then why do you think this is?" Zuo Qiu Xunou frowned and said, "I don't know, this Taoist temple is very abnormal and weird." Xu Huaigu looked at the painting of the Yellow Dragon Soaring. Mural, thoughtful.
It happened that Li Siqing and others checked several side rooms and found no ghosts, so they walked up to the main hall to find Xu Huaigu and asked, "Have you found any ghosts?" Xu Huaigu replied, "No." Li Siqing sighed. He said in a tone: "We don't have it either, it feels very strange." Li Siqing asked another Fifth Realm monk: "Old sir, you are well-informed, why do you think this is?" Old Ye Xiu glanced at him and said nothing. He got angry with him, but replied kindly: "Logically speaking, dilapidated temples and Taoist temples are most likely to attract lonely ghosts, but this Taoist temple is surrounded by ghosts, but there is not a single ghost. I have never seen one." This situation. But we can know that there must be something weird about this Taoist temple." Li Siqing was a little disappointed when he didn't get the answer he wanted. He told everyone to be careful and prepared to leave.
He hesitated for a moment before leaving, and then walked to Zuo Qiuxun. He seemed a little shy, put the sword back into its sheath, and asked kindly: "I remember Miss Zuoqiu, you said you came to Lichuan Mountain to gain more knowledge. I I am about to go out to kill ghosts now, do you want to come with me?" Zuo Qiuxun pretended to be innocent and blinked his eyes, looking at Xu Huaigu, as if he wanted to listen to his idea.
Xu Huaigu reacted immediately, smiled apologetically at Li Siqing and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, to be honest, my junior sister has had a very good appearance since she was a child, and she has always been the apple of our sect's eye. This time, Master brought her out with all kinds of advice. She asked me to ensure her safety. Is it too dangerous to go out to kill ghosts? Otherwise..." Li Siqing heard something was wrong and quickly interrupted him and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xu, since I took Miss Zuoqiu out, I will definitely ensure her safety. Even if I die, I will never let her be harmed in the slightest. Fellow Taoist Xu can trust me." Xu Huaigu agreed awkwardly and said, "Okay then." Li Siqing smiled. After looking at Zuo Qiuxun and winking, Zuo Qiuxun followed, and the two left Huanglongguan.
Xu Huaigu sneered, looked at Li Siqing's back, smiled, and left, but when he went out, he glanced at the Huanglong mural.
He blinked, his expression becoming confused. Just now he seemed to have seen the pearl in Huang Long's mouth flashing in the mural, but when he looked carefully, he could not see anything strange at all.
This yellow dragon mural was very strange. Xu Huaigu kept an eye on it, but he didn't stop there anymore and left the main hall.
