The strange appearance of the Dharma disappeared in a flash, and no one except Song Xing noticed it.
After Song Xing finished the introduction, the Prime Minister smiled and said: "This time about the Kongsang Mountain incident, the elders of our three sects originally wanted us younger generations to receive some experience. Now we have all arrived, but the senior brothers from Qingyun Sect have come from afar to work hard, so why don't we go first? How about taking a day off and going into the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave to investigate early tomorrow morning?"
Song Xing thought for a while and asked: "Since senior brother Faxiang came a few days earlier than me, have you seen senior brother Xiao Yicai from Nagato?"
Fa Xiang was slightly startled, "Senior Brother Xiao from your noble sect has also come to Kongsang Mountain? I haven't seen Senior Brother Xiao in the past few days."
Song Xing nodded, thoughtfully: "Maybe he entered the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave first."
So the Dharma Minister led the way, and everyone followed him with his sword, arriving on a small hill thirty miles away from Kongsang Mountain. There was actually a clear spring here, which was suitable for everyone in Qingyun Sect to take a rest.
After arriving at the place, everyone sat around and started talking. Song Xing learned from Fa Zang and others that the bats in the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave in Kongsang Mountain were alien species raised by the demon sect in those days. They were ferocious, cruel, and good at sucking blood. .
They were originally accomplices of the Demon Sect. After the Demon Sect's stronghold here was destroyed eight hundred years ago, there were still a few remaining bats. As time went by, they actually multiplied vigorously. With today's huge scale, every time there was a predator, they would destroy the area within a radius of 500 miles. It has to be completely deserted.
However, these bats seem to be afraid of the sun, so they are only active at night. They live in the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave during the day. Everyone from Qingyun Sect happened to meet them last night. If they went up the mountain during the day, they would be fine.
Hearing this, Qi Hao was a little worried: "There are too many of these beasts. If we enter them and disturb them, I'm afraid there will be another trouble."
Song Xing said gently: "With everyone from Tianyin Temple and Fanxiang Valley here, there is strength in numbers. We can go and check it out first. Even if there is a problem, with so many people joining forces, safety should be safe."
The few people present here are all the best among the younger generation of Zhengdao. Naturally, they will not admit that there is nothing they can do with some bat mutants, so they kept silent.
The next day, when the morning sun was rising, Song Xing and others came to Kongsang Mountain. They saw that the mountain was deserted and the ground was covered with sand and rocks. On such a huge mountain, they could not even hear ordinary birdsong. They expected that they had not done those terrible things earlier. Bat's snack has already migrated out of this mountain peak.
The Dharma Minister came a few days earlier and had already found the location of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave. Now everyone followed him all the way to the entrance of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave.
This is a huge cave in the middle of the mountain. It is located in the shadow of the mountain and slopes slightly downward. There is only a little light at the entrance of the cave, and it is pitch black further inside.
Standing five or six feet away from the entrance of the cave, everyone felt the cold wind blowing out of the cave, blowing over their faces, and feeling cold to the bones.
At the same time, there was a faint rustling sound, like a whisper, like a ghost crying, which made people feel numb.
Everyone summoned their magic weapons one after another and were on guard. When Fa Xiang and others saw Zhang Xiaofan holding a black fire stick besides the fairy swords of Song Xing and the others, they were all stunned for a moment.
However, before entering, Song Xing suggested that everyone should not walk on foot and enter with a sword.
Everyone didn't know what it meant at first, but after entering, they saw bat guano about a foot thick everywhere. Then they suddenly understood and felt very happy.
After entering the ancient cave, the inner ceiling was indeed full of bats, but fortunately these bats seemed to be really too lazy to move during the day, and a few people reached the depths of the ancient cave without any danger.
The Dharma Standing in front recited a Buddha's name in a low voice. After a moment, a round bead shining with solemn golden light was lifted from his hand. At first, the light seemed to be attached to the Dharma, but as the power of the Dharma continued, in an instant, The golden light flourished, with the bead as the center, and the golden light surged in all directions like a tide. Song Xing and the others stood there, with a roar in their ears, and the golden halo passed by him.
The faces of everyone present were reflected in a light golden color, and at the same time they felt relieved. Even if they were a little nervous, they calmed down in an instant.
The huge space was as bright as day in the blink of an eye. If it weren't for the ferocious rocks and squirming bats, it would almost make people think they were in a Buddhist paradise.
Li Xun, who had always had his eyes set high above his head, was a little surprised at this moment. He stood aside and said: "Reincarnation Pearl!"
The Buddha smiled back but said nothing.
By the light of the Samsara Pearl, everyone saw that there was clean hard ground under their feet. Looking up, they saw that on the top of the rock cave above them, the black bats had disappeared for some reason, but the "rustling" sound was distinct. Still in my ears.
After taking a closer look, I realized that at the top of the cave behind me, countless black bats were still gathering at the top of the cave. But deep inside the cave, on the rock at the top of the cave, there was a thin red line across the top of the cave. It looked like It looks like veins growing in the rock.
With this thin red line as the boundary, countless bats gathered and crowded outside, but not a single one crossed the red line, and within a short distance of the feet, there was no smelly bat droppings outside.
Song Xing jumped down from the Ten Tigers. The Ten Tigers circled in the air and floated above his head, blooming with misty light.
"The back is probably the Demon Sect's territory back then, so be careful."
The Dharma Minister said before that these bats were raised by demons from the Demon Cult, so the Demon Cult must have a way to control them.
The red line on the top of the cave may be something to restrain the bats, so that they don't dare to take a step beyond the limit.
The darkness ahead seemed like a monster, with open arms and a ferocious smile, welcoming their arrival.
Song Xing also took out the Liuhe Mirror and brought all eight people into the defensive range of the magic weapon to guard against sneak attacks by the Demon Cult in the cave.
I don’t know how far I walked like this, but this ancient and deep cave seemed to have no end. Although it was still very spacious, it was winding and twisting. In addition to probably tilting towards the ground, it was almost distracting. Not sure of direction.
After walking for a long time, two forked roads suddenly opened in the cave ahead. They were deep and dark, leading to nowhere, as if they were like a monster's open mouth.
In the middle of the road, which is also the center of the two forked roads, stands a huge stone tablet as high as six people, with four large blood-red characters carved on it: I am the way of heaven!
Li Xun snorted and said angrily: "How dare you, a demon from the Demon Cult, falsely claim the way of heaven!"
The Dharma Prime Minister frowned, looked at the stone tablet a few more times, and said, "When I came here, I heard from my mentor Master Puhong that the Demon Sect did have this stone tablet in this cave eight hundred years ago, but at that time It has been chopped open by my righteous immortal with my great magical power. See you again today, but why is it intact?"
Song Xing glanced at the stone tablet and said: "There is a crack on the stone tablet. It was obviously cut off by someone and then repaired. So there must be traces of people from the Demon Sect ahead."
After hearing Song Xing's analysis, everyone became more alert and guarded against the demon cult demons secretly.
Fa Xiang looked at the forked road in front of him, frowned, and turned to ask Song Xing, "Brother Song, there are two roads here. Should we divide our forces into two, or should we choose one of them?"
He glanced at Zhang Xiaofan behind Song Xing vaguely.
Song Xing thought for a while and said: "The enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. Perhaps the Demon Sect wants us to divide our troops into two places. You are all elites of the righteous path. If you are together, you will be able to fight even if you encounter a giant of the Demonic Path." .”
