Perhaps because of bad luck, Bu Xiaotian rode the black donkey until it got dark and did not encounter any village or town.
The rain has been falling from the sky, and it shows no sign of letting up even now.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, if they could no longer find a place to rest, they would have to survive the night in the heavy rain.
Finally, before the sky turned completely dark, Bu Xiaotian saw through the rain curtain a dark figure not far ahead standing next to the road, which looked like a house.
Bu Xiaotian was overjoyed. It seemed that he didn't have to brave the heavy rain to rest tonight.
He gently patted the black donkey's neck, and the black donkey immediately understood, and its four hooves that were running wildly went a little faster.
Soon one person and one donkey approached the house on the roadside, and Bu Xiaotian finally saw its full picture. It turned out to be a ruined temple.
I don’t know how long the ruined temple has been abandoned. The temple door has long been damaged, and I don’t know who demolished it. The plaque above the gate has long disappeared. The place where the plaque should have been hung is empty. I don’t know what kind of temple it is.
Arriving in front of the ruined temple, Bu Xiaotian jumped off the black donkey. Just as he was about to take a closer look at the ruined temple, the black donkey could not wait to step into the temple door.
Seeing this, Bu Xiaotian smiled helplessly and had no choice but to follow the black donkey in.
There are no other furnishings in the temple except for a statue of the god, and I don’t know if it was originally so empty.
Fortunately, although this ruined temple is leaking air everywhere, the roof is very complete and there is no leakage.
The black donkey entered the temple gate, looked around for a moment, then found a dry place to lie down on the ground, then turned to look at Bu Xiaotian eagerly.
When Bu Xiaotian saw the black donkey's appearance, he immediately understood that this guy was begging for food from him. Thinking that it had been carrying him around all day today, it was really hard, so he sat cross-legged next to it and took out a few pieces of dry food. Throw it into its mouth.
The black donkey looked at the dry food in front of him, and then at Bu Xiaotian, his eyes full of disgust.
Seeing Hei Lu's disgusted look, Bu Xiaotian said angrily:
"That's all. If you want to eat well, go out and get it yourself!"
Hearing this, the black donkey looked at the heavy rain outside and reluctantly gnawed the dry food.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the rain curtain in the darkness was like an endless giant beast that would devour anyone who dared to break in at any time.
Bu Xiaotian's eyesight would not be blocked by the small darkness. He searched around for a moment, and found nothing but a pile of ashes on the ground in the middle.
He looked outside the door again and saw a large dark forest on the other side of the road, so he got up and walked out.
The black donkey glanced at Bu Xiaotian doubtfully, not knowing what he was going to do, but when he saw that the luggage was still there, he stopped caring about him and ate his own dry food.
A moment later, Bu Xiaotian stepped into the temple door again and saw a large bundle of wet branches in his hand.
It turned out that he had just gone to get firewood.
Although these were living branches and were covered with rainwater, they were not a problem for Bu Xiaotian. He threw the large bundle of branches on the ground and pinched them casually. In the blink of an eye, traces of white appeared on the branches. fog.
Soon the mist filled the whole room. Feeling the humid air, Hei Donkey snorted unhappily and blew all the mist out.
But Bu Xiaotian looked unfazed. Over the years, he had seen a lot of extraordinary things about black donkeys. Although he looked like an ordinary black donkey, he could travel thousands of miles in a day, and even often Dragging some prey that were obviously kicked to death by it in front of him, what just happened was not the same thing.
After the mist was blown out by the black donkey, the air in the temple suddenly became much cleaner.
Bu Xiaotian squatted down and lit some dry branches, and the fire immediately illuminated the small ruined temple.
At this time, the black donkey had finished eating the dry food and moved to a place near the fire to take a nap comfortably.
Bu Xiaotian also drank a piece of dry food with some water, added a few branches to the fire, and began to sit cross-legged and meditate.
The ruined temple gradually became quiet, except for the slight crackling sound coming from the fire.
The vague-faced statue lowered its head slightly, as if silently looking down at a person and a donkey in the middle of the ruined temple. The blurry face added a bit of a strange feeling under the flickering firelight.
Late at night, Bu Xiaotian, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
The branches in the fire had burned out, leaving only the embers glowing slightly red, but this was not the reason why Bu Xiaotian suddenly woke up from trance.
I don’t know when it started, but the surroundings became eerily quiet. It was clearly raining heavily outside the door, but not a sound of rain could be heard.
Bu Xiaotian picked up a few branches and threw them into the ashes that were not extinguished. Soon the branches burned and the ruined temple became brighter again.
But the light did not break the originally weird atmosphere. It was clear that the heavy rain outside could be seen through the light, but there was still no sound.
Bu Xiaotian stood up, stretched out his hand, and the long sword that was leaning on the side immediately came out of its sheath and fell into his hand, emitting bursts of green light.
The sound of the black donkey's long sword being unsheathed woke him up. He opened his eyes and jumped up, looking around cautiously.
But their actions did not cause any changes. The temple was still so quiet, and the shadows on the wall swayed gently with the light of the fire.
Bu Xiaotian recited a mantra silently, with a faint light shining in his eyes. He glanced attentively and found nothing wrong. He quickly turned his gaze to the place where the only statue of the god was.
The statue looked unchanged, as if it was just an ordinary clay sculpture, but in Bu Xiaotian's eyes, he could clearly see a dark shadow attached to the statue.
Bu Xiaotian stared for a moment, and the black shadow seemed to realize that he had been discovered. Hearing a scream, the black shadow rushed out of the statue like lightning and went straight to Bu Xiaotian.
But Bu Xiaotian was well prepared, and suddenly he stretched out his right hand that had been hiding behind his back without holding the sword, and a snow-white thunderbolt flew out of his palm, hitting the incoming black shadow.
The black shadow looked a little smart, and was always on guard against the long sword in Bu Xiaotian's left hand, but he didn't expect that the long sword in Bu Xiaotian's hand was just a cover, and he received a solid palm thunder.
The black shadow was hit by the thunder in Bu Xiaotian's palm, screamed, and immediately retreated to the statue, not daring to move forward easily.
Bu Xiaotian was shocked when he saw the black shadow wrapped in evil spirit and a pair of blood-red eyes staring at him, and he guessed the origin of the black shadow.
mountain elf!
Legend has it that the lonely souls in the mountains will turn into ghosts if they suck evil spirits. They like to eat the essence, blood and soul of living people to improve their cultivation.
Looking at the strong evil aura surrounding this monster, I'm afraid it has already harmed many people!
Under the influence of the evil spirit, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of the tragic scene of the massacre of the village. He couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness and anger, and almost got lost in the memory.
Fortunately, Bu Xiaotian's realm is not low now, and he immediately noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly recited the Qingxin Jue silently to suppress the inexplicable anger.
After the strangeness in his heart was completely eliminated, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but secretly thought, if he was too deeply affected by the evil spirit, even if he didn't go crazy, he might still be attacked by this monster!
I'm afraid it was the one causing trouble just now!
Bu Xiaotian remained calm and scanned slightly, and sure enough he found that from unknown time, this ruined temple was filled with evil aura.
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian's eyes were dull and motionless, Chi immediately pounced on him again.
Just when it was less than a foot away from Bu Xiaotian, he saw a flash of blue sword light and cut it into two pieces.
There was another sharp scream, and the figure that was chopped into two pieces quickly retreated.
Bu Xiaotian didn't expect that it was still alive after being chopped into two pieces. He was afraid that it might have some weird tricks, so he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.
After the two bodies were fused together, Ji looked up to the sky and roared, his voice full of anger. He seemed very angry at Bu Xiaotian's sneak attack, but he didn't dare to go any further.
Although it seemed to have returned to its original state, Bu Xiaotian could clearly feel that its momentum was much weaker.
After a moment of stalemate, the Chi roared again, and Bu Xiaotian concentrated on alert.
But I saw that Zhen quickly passed through the gap extending to the wall behind me and escaped!
Bu Xiaotian originally thought that it was planning to attack him, but he didn't expect that this guy was so smart that he actually ran away when he saw that he was outmatched?
But how could he let go of this thing that had harmed so many people? His sword immediately turned into a streak of blue light and crashed through the wall and chased him out.
The demon escaped very quickly, but Bu Xiaotian, who was flying with a sword, was not slow and followed closely behind it.
During this period, Bu Xiaotian stopped the beast several times, but every time it seized the opportunity to escape.
Finally, in a canyon, Bu Xiaotian blocked the mountain again.
This time Bu Xiaotian didn't want to give it another chance to escape, so he just made a hand and recited a spell.
Following Bu Xiaotian's movements, the rain all over the sky seemed to have stopped for a moment, and then a circle of arm-thick icicles formed ten feet away around it and Qi, trapping them inside like a cage. .
Boom——
The icicles had just formed when Bu Xiaotian changed the technique in his hand and saw a dazzling bolt of thunder striking the icicles.
Surprisingly, the lightning did not break the icicles into pieces, but was completely absorbed by the icicles.
Countless tiny electric lights flashed between the icicles, illuminating the huge cage.
After several battles, the beast has understood that the person in front of it is definitely no match for it, and it does not dare to fight at all. It hits the icicles in the opposite direction to Bu Xiaotian. Its shape is between virtual and real, with just a few icicles. The icicles couldn't stop it at all.
Bu Xiaotian watched the Zha escape, but he didn't stop it. He didn't seem to be worried about it slipping out of his hands again.
Stab——
Just when Chi hit the gap between the icicles and was about to escape, a sound like ice water splashing on a red-hot iron speed came from the place where Chi hit. Through the cracks on the icicles, The light can even see a few wisps of black energy coming out of its body.
Almost at the same time, Chi let out a shrill scream, and his shapeless body twisted in mid-air, looking extremely painful.
At this time, Bu Xiaotian had already kneaded a new magic formula in his hand, and a beam of lightning as thick as an arm directly hit Zha's body, causing Zha, who was already in pain, to let out another scream.
The lightning dissipated, and although Zhi's figure had not dissipated, it was not far away.
Bu Xiaotian didn't seem to expect that it could withstand one of his own palm thunders even though it was seriously injured. He was about to make another move, but as soon as he hit the palm, he heard a loud bang, and the person beside him heard a loud bang. Several icicles suddenly broke, and a dark chain penetrated from the broken place of the icicles. It wrapped around Zhi with lightning speed, and then retracted at an extremely fast speed.
This monster actually has an accomplice!
Bu Xiaotian's second palm thunder failed, and he immediately turned towards the direction where the dark chain appeared.
At this time, the sky was already getting slightly brighter, and Bu Xiaotian faintly saw a figure galloping away into the distance, but Ersan had escaped in the blink of an eye.
How could Bu Xiaotian let him go? Just as he was about to catch up, he heard an eerie voice coming from afar:
"Young hero has chased you so far, have you forgotten something?"
After his reminder, Bu Xiaotian was suddenly shocked: Oops, the black donkey is still in the ruined temple!
Although Hei Donkey sometimes made people hate him to the point of itch, after all, they had been together for so long, and he couldn't stand to see Hei Donkey being poisoned.
So Bu Xiaotian gave up the idea of chasing, and after a brief identification of the direction, he turned into a sword light and flew towards the direction he came from.
In the other direction, the man who had kidnapped the demon saw that Bu Xiaotian had stopped chasing him. He slowed down and said to himself:
"It's so dangerous! This kid looks young, but he has such a level of cultivation. If we really let him chase us, it's going to be a tough fight!"
As he spoke, the man paused slightly and then said:
"Hey! Thanks to this kid, otherwise I might not be able to hold on to this three-hundred-year-old demon, and it wouldn't be in vain for me to wait outside that ruined temple for more than half a month! With this three-hundred-year-old demon In the next year, I will definitely be able to sit on the seat of the four elders!
Forget it, let's get out of here first. It would be terrible if that kid found out that I was chasing him! "
After saying that, the man was seen quickly moving away, and soon disappeared into a mountain forest.
Half an hour later, the temple was destroyed.
A stream of green light fell from the sky and landed outside the ruined temple. It was Bu Xiaotian who was rushing back.
After Bu Xiaotian landed, he hurriedly walked inside, but saw that the inside and outside of the ruined temple had not changed much from when he left. The black donkey was sleeping soundly on the ground, but his luggage was used as a pillow by it. Under the head.
Seeing this scene, Bu Xiaotian didn't realize that he had been deceived?
Looking at the statues in the ruined temple, Bu Xiaotian's eyes gradually showed doubts.
With his level of cultivation, it was impossible for him not to detect the presence of Zhi at such a close distance last night. Although Zhi's Taoism is not shallow and his intelligence is not low, he obviously doesn't have any advanced methods and relies more on his strength. Acting on instinct, its ability to deceive oneself must be related to this statue!
Bu Xiaotian came to the unknown statue, raised his hand and pressed it on him, and then he discovered the strangeness of the statue.
Although this statue is just an ordinary clay sculpture, its surface is covered with a strange power, which can isolate the breath like a film. Unless you look carefully, it is difficult to find something hidden inside.
The source of this power is the base at the foot of the statue.
Bu Xiaotian gave a slight salute to the statue, said sorry, then raised his hand to hold the statue aside, and groped on the base for a while, and found that it was very hard. After pulling it out, he found that although it was one foot square, But it's not very heavy to hold.
I used my true energy to explore it, and felt a familiar feeling in my heart. After thinking for a moment, I finally remembered that this seemed to be very similar to the Hunyuan Stone I got in the grassland.
Bu Xiaotian knocked it with the hilt of his sword, making the sound of gold and stone intersecting. Recalling what Letian said at that time, he guessed that this might be the nine-turn Hunyuan iron that Letian said.
Unexpectedly, such a legendary and extremely rare treasure could be encountered by him so easily. Bu Xiaotian also didn't know what to say.
But now is not the time to think too much about this. Bu Xiaotian put away the Nine-turn Hunyuan Iron and moved the statue back to its original position.
He told the black donkey who had just woken up and was looking at him curiously to let him go back to the valley where he and Situ Xue lived in seclusion, and then chased the man in the direction he left with his sword again.
Although it is too late to chase after him now, Bu Xiaotian does not want to let go of the evil spirit who has caused countless harm and the mysterious person who kidnapped the evil spirit easily.
It rained heavily all day and night, and finally it cleared up.
When Bu Xiaotian came back to the valley where Xiao was robbed, the heavy rain had turned into a drizzle.
There were no other clues in the valley except some traces left by last night's battle. It seemed almost impossible to find the man.
But Bu Xiaotian did not leave. He only saw him raising his fingers in front of his chest and silently reciting a few spells.
As Bu Xiaotian recited the mantra, traces of black energy gradually condensed in the valley and gathered in front of Bu Xiaotian.
It was the evil spirit that was dispersed last night.
After collecting a lot of evil spirits, Bu Xiaotian took out a compass from his arms, and the evil spirits were immediately sucked into the compass.
This is exactly the tracking method that Letian has used many times. Bu Xiaotian accidentally mentioned it once, so Letian taught it to him.
The evil spirit floating in the valley has the same origin as the abducted beast, so it is very possible to find its traces with the help of this method.
Sure enough, after absorbing the evil spirit, the compass pointer began to rotate extremely fast, and then stopped after a moment, pointing in the direction where the previous person left.
Seeing that the tracking method was effective, Bu Xiaotian stopped delaying and flew his sword towards the place pointed by the pointer.
This pursuit lasted three days and three nights.
At noon that day, Bu Xiaotian was walking forward with his sword, and the compass pointer suddenly tilted towards the southeast. Bu Xiaotian was not surprised but happy when he saw this, which meant that he was not far away from that person!
Bu Xiaotian suddenly became energetic, and with a turn of sword light, he flew towards the direction pointed by the compass.
