Ning Yi couldn't help being startled, and just as he was about to open his mouth to argue something, he saw someone rushing out a few steps away. But it was a leader of the Huishenhui from a neighboring county. With quick eyesight and quick hands, he knocked down a group of people, broke through the window of the main hall, rushed to the base of the outer wall and jumped up.
It disappeared from most people's sight in a blink of an eye. However, there was an unexpected exclamation, roar and scream, a flash of fire flashed past, and all the movement stopped abruptly. Immediately afterwards, a man in a red robe and a mask was seen, carrying a corpse and standing on the wall while looking at everyone coldly.
The white-haired great scripture master then showed a reserved smile: "I have seen the firebender, thank you for stopping me." Afterwards, the red-masked firebender dropped the smoking corpse and said in a buzzing voice: "This is the fate of the evil thieves, please take care of yourself."
Some people quickly took the lead and echoed: "I will follow the teachings of the fire wielder." "The fire wielder has magical powers." Ning Yi was so happy that he stepped forward, gave him a humble smile, and took the initiative to ask for his orders: "Let me take care of the trouble, so as not to disturb the disciples outside."
"Okay! You are a thoughtful person, that's you." The masked firebender glanced at him and said coldly: And the great scripture master who usually seemed very authoritative originally wanted to say something, but After being glanced at by the firebender, he naturally fell silent.
Ning Yi, on the other hand, became more and more awe-inspiring, and his expression became more humble and respectful. It is said that the various halls and sub-altars where the Dayun Sect gathers people to pray in the local area, in addition to the church leaders and altar masters who are local origins as conveners, there are also specialized scripture teachers, Dharma protectors and envoys.
Among them, the scripture masters are the people appointed by the sect to be responsible for preaching the scriptures and regularly hosting the sect's rituals; while the guardians are responsible for daily guidance, and they choose powerful and powerful people from among senior believers and disciples to voluntarily Become the magic soldier who protects the sect and the leader in training to strengthen your body.
As for the threshold for messengers, it is relatively broader. No matter whether there are three religions or nine schools, old, weak, women and children, traffickers and pawns, as long as they believe in the religion wholeheartedly and work hard to develop believers, they can be called emissaries. They can be divided into three, six or nine grades based on the amount of incense passed down.
Therefore, a great sutra master often represents a high-level person in a sect; he is also an existence that most ordinary believers have the opportunity to come into contact with. However, as a leader of the middle and lower classes, and as the leader of the altar in Yangzhou, a land and water hub and a land of flowers, Ning Yi knew more.
For example, in the sect, on top of the great scripture masters, there are directly subordinate tribes called Tianlong Babu; each has its own responsibilities and the division of labor is clear and deeply penetrated. There are also beings called the Five Elements. It is said that they are all extraordinary people who have extraordinary skills and are responsible for patrolling the local area to reward and punish people.
However, compared to the members of the Eight Tribes who are representatives of the Chief Sect, who are occasionally heard about and even need to secretly coordinate and cooperate, the Five Elements Users who only exist in rumors and rarely appear in public, and whose methods are unpredictable, are undoubtedly more mysterious. Existence; represents the dark side of the sect's intimidating power.
Therefore, the scenes left behind after this person's attack are all extremely tragic or strange and inexplicable; they often give the believers who deal with the aftermath frightening nightmares, and this time, the firebenders were dispatched to lead the team to ambush in the Secretly just in case; obviously it's causing trouble.
Obviously this fire user's ability is to burn people into charcoal in a single encounter; he doesn't even have a chance to struggle and resist, which undoubtedly makes the remaining hall leaders, altar owners, and community leaders remain silent. And he was in awe, even more courageous than Ning Yi.
Therefore, Ning Yi also got the opportunity to lead several strong military soldiers to carry the corpses wrapped in curtains, together with the "traitors" who had been tortured into human form, to the desolate and quiet pagoda forest behind the temple; and then found A hole had to be dug and filled in a dark corner.
But during the transportation process, Ning Yi also smelled the faint smell of turpentine, naphtha, wine extract and raw phosphorus powder; he couldn't help but have preliminary guesses about the methods of this "fire user". After all, he happened to handle these goods in Guangzhou.
I also happened to know that as one of the methods of setting fire to attack the enemy in naval battles, the South China Sea Navy, which is so powerful in the ocean, has similar ingredients of flammable substances. However, when he accidentally touched a small piece of charcoal on the corpse with a garden hoe, he accidentally discovered more clues.
Because, under the carbonized appearance of this corpse, there is some shriveled and hardened flesh and blood; it does not look like it has just been burned alive, and the deep inside has been cooked; but more like it has been taken from somewhere else beforehand. Bring it and prepare it as a substitute for hiding from the sky.
This result also made Ning Yi breathe a big sigh of relief; at least it was enough to prove that the Dayun Sect did not have many extraordinary means in the true sense; but it was the real and fake witchcraft, poisons, curses and the like. Even the bluffing routine of pretending to be mysterious and mysterious.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the two magic soldiers again. These protective soldiers who volunteered to devote themselves to the sect were mostly young men with no relatives or family burdens, and there were even some unemployed vagrants and idlers. However, after joining the sect for a long time, they all became taciturn.
In other words, most of them are still the same person, and they have not lost their consciousness or human feelings. But in daily life, apart from sect-related matters, his interest in other foreign objects has become increasingly dull. The two magic soldiers were fresh faces brought from other places by the Great Master.
Therefore, he looks quite tough and strong, with an expressionless face, and has a sense of keeping strangers away. The next moment, Ning Yi suddenly stumbled and fell onto the filling soil; however, the two magic soldiers remained unmoved. They neither stepped forward to help him nor did anything else. They just looked at him silently.
Therefore, Ning Yi could only pat the dust and mud on his body, propped himself up from the ground, and muttered something. However, the next moment the two magic soldiers turned their heads, a broken candlestick suddenly slipped from his hand and thrust into the temple of the nearest magic soldier.
The opponent was caught off guard, and without even making a sound, he fell on top of him with a splash of red and white. Immediately afterwards, Ning Yi quickly pulled out the Jie Dao from the waist of the body. He pretended to be panicked and greeted, and another magician turned around to check. However, he took the opportunity and accidentally stabbed the knife in the back of the neck.
A moment later, Ning Yi ran away with all his strength in the forest behind the temple. The moonlight shines through the treetops like a curtain, and the sound of the wind shaking the trees is like countless pursuers with ulterior motives; accompanied by the gentle chirping of disturbed birds and animals, it can be heard behind you from time to time. .
However, when the vast moonlight and frost on the open grassland enveloped Ning Yi again, he suddenly stopped. Because, in this clearing by the forest, a road by the river suddenly appeared; and dozens of men in black on horseback and bows were waiting here for a long time.
In an instant, there were buzzing and flying arrows behind him; Ning Yi turned around and ran away without hesitation. However, before he could use the cover of the trees and run as far as he could, he heard faint roars and violent sounds of violently breaking the branches and leaves of the trees.
When Ning Yi rushed out of the forest again, he suddenly lost his footing and fell into a shallow ditch; he was immediately thrown into pieces, and the sky was dark and the ground was dark. When he came to his senses again and managed to climb up to the edge of the ditch, the sound coming from behind made the blood in his body freeze.
What an ugly beast it was. It had a body like a giant wolf and sharp claws, but it had a head like a bone-like jaw. The canine teeth were thick and criss-crossed up and down, as if they were enough to crush a big tree. A giant guillotine; there are still faint traces of flesh and blood left on it.
However, suddenly a short whistle sounded, and this strange beast, which was as big as a buffalo, seemed to be unwilling to do so, and slowly took a few steps back and crouched down. Then, a somewhat frivolous voice sounded in front of Ning Yi: "This look is really ugly! Altar Master Ning."
"Who are you?" Ning Yi raised his head and saw a man in black robe standing on horseback not far away. Although his head and face were hidden in the shadow of the hat, he could still vaguely hear the other person's voice; a father-in-law who often came and went. His distant cousin at home is also the object of his secret suspicion.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that in this secret meeting, it was you, Ning Da, who betrayed the sect?" The man in black robe sneered, "Don't you think you care about your family anymore? Are your wife, children, father, brothers, and your in-laws family going to suffer misfortune because of this?"
"If a wife is unvirtuous and her son is unfilial, what's the point of caring for a family full of deceit?" Now that he had fallen to this point, Ning Yi, who struggled for several times and couldn't get up, completely relaxed his body and lay on the ground with a sneer: "What's more, they dragged me into this disaster."
"Absurd, what an ungrateful and lowly person!" Hearing this, the man in black robe said angrily: "It was in vain that Su's hard work of guaranteeing you, introducing you to the sect, and gaining salvation and future. You, a person with ulterior motives, almost ruined the sect’s important affairs.”
The next moment, Ning Yi, who seemed exhausted, suddenly jumped up and threw a handful of sand and soil at the man in black robe on the horse. The man in black robe suddenly turned his head and took a few steps back in shock. However, he was not prepared. Ning Yi got close to the horse's belly and got on the other side of him, suddenly pushing the black-robed man aside in the blind corner of his field of vision.
In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the horse, kicked his belly and ran out, throwing the man in black robes violently into the dust. However, Ning Yi, who had sprinted more than a hundred steps in one breath, was suddenly thrown to the ground as his mount neighed. He hit a tree trunk sideways and spit out a mouthful of fishy sweetness.
When he struggled to get up, he saw that the horse he had snatched had its front hooves broken off, and it fell disemboweled in the dust and smoke; it screamed and whined endlessly. A figure with hands like bone scythes was blocking the way forward; blood was still dripping from its arms bent like bone scythes.
"You Yasha tribe members are too imprudent to just sit back and watch." As a pair of bone scythes slowly faded away and turned back into human-like slender palms, the figure also shouted to the chasing soldiers: " If I hadn't been ordered to follow him secretly, I would have been robbed by this traitor and escaped long ago."
After hearing these words, Ning Yi couldn't help but became so angry that he vomited blood and fainted again. When he woke up again, he had been tied to the mandala deep in the temple; and most people were looking at Ning Yi with burning eyes and fear, like a sacrifice/sacrifice.
In the hand of the Grand Master, whose face was covered with frost, he was holding a tray; in the white porcelain cup, there was a ball of flesh and blood that was squirming slightly.
