Soon after, everyone stood in front of the Taoist temple.
Except for Shu Guan and Wang Dahu, who were already accustomed to Taoyuan villagers, the others still had shocked expressions on their faces.
Even McGraw's mercenaries looked in disbelief and even awe.
Because there is such a Taoist temple in the depths of a primeval forest that is difficult for ordinary people to set foot, which itself has an extremely mysterious meaning.
"Who on earth built such a building in the first place is incredible."
The mercenary named Karl sighed.
"Karl, maybe the person who built this Taoist temple was not a human being?"
Professor Holt said with a meaningful smile.
Then he pointed to the plaque above the gate of the Taoist temple and asked Xu Chuxiang who was standing next to him:
"What are these two characters? They seem to be the seal script of your Chinese script. I can easily recognize your Dahua script, but I don't recognize this seal script."
"Qixia."
Xu Chuxiang replied coldly.
"Qixia? What do these two words mean?"
"The sunset when the sun goes down."
"What a very poetic name."
Teacher Holt looked back at the white clouds outside the cliff and said easily:
"Maybe we can see Qixia when we come out later."
"Okay, let's go inside now. Let's see what kind of secrets are hidden in this Qixia Temple."
But despite saying this, Professor Holt stood still and did not move.
In front of him, the vermilion door of the Taoist temple was tightly closed, with a black and white Tai Chi pattern on the door.
Almost all the Taoist temples in the world have either Tai Chi or Bagua patterns painted on their gates.
Professor Holt turned around and glanced at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Shu Guan, then he raised his finger and pointed:
"You, go and open the door."
As a senior explorer, Professor Holt was still cautious at this time.
Shu Guan didn't say anything, he just stepped forward and opened the door of the Taoist temple.
Speaking of which, he closed this door with his own hands when he and Wang Dahu came here to clean it last month.
The door opened, and behind the door was a not-so-large hall, in the shape of an octagon, which meant Bagua. Xu Chuxiang relied on these details to determine that this was a Taoist temple.
Opposite the courtyard is a large hall with double eaves and cantilevered corners. Standing outside the gate, you can see a statue of an immortal in black robes and long beard standing in the center of the hall.
After opening the door, Shu Guan was about to walk in when he heard Professor Holt say something.
"etc."
"McGraw, you and Carl go in first and take a look, be careful."
McGraw and Carl immediately raised their guns and quickly entered the Taoist temple with standard tactical warning movements. Half a minute later, McGraw's figure appeared at the door of the hall and made a gesture towards Professor Holt across the courtyard. gesture.
"Safety."
Professor Holt then stepped into the gate of the Taoist temple.
Of course it's safe. People in the village come to clean it once a month, and no monsters or monsters have come out.
Shu Guan, who was standing by the gate, cursed.
In fact, like those mercenaries, Shu Guan felt that the old white man was making a fuss over the situation along the way.
After Professor Holt entered, his assistant James and the remaining mercenary Carl also followed.
Seeing this scene, Shu Guan's eyes suddenly flashed.
Since going up the mountain today, these mercenaries have been guarding them one after another, and never let them out of sight.
But now, they were left outside and ignored.
Sure enough, when the beast catches prey and eats it, it is the most relaxed moment.
And these white people found their target. Maybe Professor Holt was still a little wary, but everyone else began to relax.
The opportunities he had been waiting for began to appear.
Wang Dahu and others also carried the wooden box and walked into the Taoist temple in front of him.
Shu Guan stood there without moving, his eyes looking at Han Biao who was still outside the door like him.
He wanted to make a final push.
Why does Shuguan always want to get help from Han Biao? Because there are five people on Professor Holt's side, each of them has a gun, and he only has a bow and a sword. Even if Wang Dahu and others are included, there is still a great risk. Shu Guan does not want to put himself in such trouble just because of the risk. There will be no more deaths.
And with the cooperation and help of a master like Han Biao, the certainty will be much greater.
That's why he went out of his way to retrieve Han Biao's flying knife last night, and that's why he kept trying to get Han Biao's help along the way.
Shu looked at Han Biao.
…
Han Biao knew that the young man was looking at him.
A middle-aged man wearing a white jacket and black bloomers walked towards the Taoist temple. Before entering, he shook his head at Shuguan again with a slight apology, and then saw a trace of disappointment flashing in the young man's eyes.
Han Biao sighed in his heart, hoping that no more bloodshed would happen later.
Then he stepped through the Taoist temple gate.
The next moment, Han Biao let out a painful cry.
It was a sudden, unprepared, and inexplicable cry of pain.
Shu Guan outside the door also looked at Han Biao inexplicably, thinking that this middle-aged man with strong skills might have sprained his foot when he entered?
Han Biao's expression changed drastically.
He quickly rolled up the sleeve of his left arm and looked down at his arm.
Shu Guan also glanced at Han Biao's arm, and then his eyes nearly popped out.
There is a tattoo on Han Biao's arm.
Shu Guan was not surprised at all that someone like Han Biao had a tattoo, but what he didn't expect was that Han Biao had such a tattoo on his arm.
The blue dragon and white tiger tattoo on Han Biao's arm doesn't suit his temperament very well.
Of course, it can't be a cartoon or animation image, otherwise Shu Guan might feel that he has traveled to a chaotic world.
The tattoo on Han Biao's arm is a leaf.
Small, spiky, emerald green leaves.
But if that was the case, it wouldn't shock Shu Guan. The problem is that the leaf tattoo is moving!
The leaf tattoo on Han Biao's arm seemed to have a life of its own at this time, twisting and turning while wisps of green air kept coming out.
This picture is a bit weird.
Perhaps this was the reason why Han Biao let out that cry of pain just now.
Han Biao's expression was also very strange. First he was unexpectedly confused, and then as if he remembered something, his expression changed drastically, and there was even a look of panic and fear in his eyes.
This tough guy, whose eyes did not waver even when McGraw had a gun pointed at his head, really seemed to be scared at this moment.
The next moment, Han Biao suddenly raised his head and said something to Shu Guan.
"When are we going to do it?"
Shu Guan was stunned.
A few seconds ago, Han Biao clearly rejected him and showed no intention of wavering. But in a few seconds, Han Biao's attitude changed 180 degrees. What on earth is going on? What's going on?
Han Biao seemed to know Shu Guan's doubts, and for some special reasons, he had to explain it clearly to Shu Guan.
"Because it's very dangerous here, I'm serious. I must take the young lady out of this Taoist temple as soon as possible."
...There is no danger here, I mean it...
Shu Guan wanted to say this to Han Biao, but seeing Han Biao's nervous and cautious expression, he held back for the time being.
Then Han Biao pointed to the Konoha tattoo on his arm that was still moving at this time and said:
"This is not a tattoo, but a talisman."
A talisman?
Shu Guan swallowed back what he was about to say.
"I met an expert a few years ago. He taught me some skills and also drew such a talisman on me."
"The function of this talisman is that when I stray into some evil places that are difficult for ordinary people to detect, this talisman will warn me to leave as soon as possible."
"The evil place?"
The more Shu Guan listened, the more confused he became, and he couldn't help but ask.
"In fact, I don't know much about the so-called evil places. I just heard the expert briefly explain that such places often have ghosts, monsters, or some unclean and dirty places. Ordinary people must not stay in such an evil place for a long time, otherwise even if they are not in danger on the spot, they will often die suddenly and mysteriously shortly after returning."
"Now that the Konoha talisman left on me by the expert has moved, it shows that this Taoist temple is a place of evil."
...It seems like I'm listening to a ghost story...
Shu Guan stared at Han Biao with a serious face, wanting to say another word.
...I have been here since I was thirteen years old, and I am still alive and well...
Moreover, in the past two hundred years, except for the villager who drank water randomly in the cave, no one in Taoyuan Village has died because of this Taoist temple.
But Shu Guan still forcefully swallowed these words back into his stomach again.
Since others have taken the initiative to ask for cooperation, why should I talk too much?
If you think this is an evil place, then just be an evil place!
At this moment, Shu Guan felt that he had some dark talents.
At this moment, Wang Dahu's exclamation suddenly came from behind.
"Where's the dragon?!"
