There is a heavy iron cover on the ancient well, and it is locked tightly with a ring-shaped copper hoop.
The iron cover was covered with dust, and a jade talisman that had been corroded by time lay quietly in the dust, glowing faintly.
The face of the talisman is vaguely engraved with an old man with a Taoist spirit. He is holding a cauldron in one hand and a herb in the other.
Huang Liang cried out: "Shennong Talisman!" He was greedy and couldn't help but stepped forward to pick it up.
Suddenly, there was a strange "squeaking" sound in my ears, and a black shadow came towards me with two green lights.
Huang Liang took half a step back and drew the sword flower, directly splitting the black shadow in half.
Blood spattered and a suffocating stench filled the air. Through the glow of the fairy sword, it was possible to see clearly that the black shadow was actually a big rat crawling out of an unknown gutter.
Its hair was messy and it looked very thin, but its eyes were green and fierce.
The mouse's slender tail trembled and could no longer move. The skinny boy felt the meat was crispy and he laughed at himself: "The mouse is bigger than the cat. I almost wet my pants in fear."
Huang Liang warned: "This place is very strange, so be careful." After saying that, he went forward to pick up the talisman.
The skinny disciple felt anxious and asked, "Master, this place is so creepy. There won't be any monsters under this ancient well, right?"
Huang Liang scolded: "You bastard, I am here as a teacher, what should you be afraid of?" No longer hesitating, he reached out and grabbed the jade talisman. The jade talisman's glow suddenly shook his palm out of the sky.
Huang Liang became more and more surprised, and his magic power surged. Thick and bright claw marks suddenly appeared. He grabbed the jade talisman and lifted it up.
The jade talisman suddenly made a loud roar, and the figure on the talisman's face condensed into a white light and rolled towards Huang Liang. Huang Liang sneered: "It's just a dying struggle!" The fairy sword straightened, and countless sword flowers trembled, and they fell towards the white light.
The jade talisman may have lost a lot of spiritual energy, and now it is even more overwhelmed. The white light only lasted for a few breaths, and then it turned into a few wisps of dust and smoke and dissipated together with the jade talisman.
Huang Liang beat his chest and stamped his feet, with a look of pain on his face, and hummed: "My Shennong Talisman!"
With a "bang" sound, the copper ring fell off the well, leaving only the dark iron cover still covering the wellhead.
The mountains and forests were silent, and the temple was so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
Huang Liang's spiritual thoughts were fully activated, and he tilted his head to listen for a long time, and finally said: "The black mist is shrouded under the well, which can block the prying eyes of spiritual thoughts, and you can't hear the sound of water..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud rumble like thunder was heard deep in the ancient well, and a black evil energy shot up into the sky. Half of the heavy iron cover was torn into pieces, and the temple roof was instantly torn to pieces.
The two disciples were so frightened that even Huang Liang felt a little frightened.
The three of them retreated to the corner and watched uncomfortably, but after a long while, there was no other abnormality.
Huang Liang felt relieved and said with a smile: "I think it has been closed for a long time and the evil spirit has been vented. Don't worry." After saying that, he went to the ancient well to visit, and he saw that the well was dark and dark, and he didn't know the depth at all.
After lifting the iron cover and taking a look, Huang Liang ordered: "There is an iron chain hanging down in the well. You two pick it up and take a look. Maybe there is some treasure."
The skinny disciple muttered: "Master, I'm afraid this Shennong Talisman suppresses evil things. Maybe there are really ghosts down there..."
Huang Liang said angrily: "How can a cultivator be afraid of ghosts? Even so, the Shennong Talisman can still suppress it even if its spiritual energy is almost exhausted. If there is an evil thing, it is just a waste. Don't be blabbering and hurry up."
The two young men couldn't resist their master, so they could only step forward and pull up the chains.
The iron chain is extremely thin but extremely tough. Huang Liang clicked his tongue and said, "It's made from fine iron in Shouyang Mountain. Hey, this can be considered a treasure. Pull it!"
His disciples couldn't resist the urging, so they grabbed the iron chain and lifted it up. In the blink of an eye, after lifting it for a few feet, everything was as before. After lifting it for a few more feet, nothing was abnormal.
Chains were piled up in the temple, and the ground was piled high but there was still no end. The two of them stared at each other and were speechless.
Huang Liang was a little anxious. Just when he was about to speak, he heard a strange noise coming from the depths of the ancient well. Huang Liang said happily: "We're almost there, pull again!"
Suddenly he pulled tens of feet further, and when he listened carefully, he could hear the bubbling sound of water flowing in the well.
Suddenly, the sound of water became louder and louder, like thousands of horses galloping, like a mountain collapse, and the well was full of yellow soup, and the smell of fishy smell was nauseating.
Huang Liang was horrified and shouted: "It's fierce water! Run quickly."
He was about to step on the fairy sword and run away in a hurry, when another thunderous roar rang through his ears, and a monster jumped out of the well.
This monster resembles a snake and a dragon but has nine heads. It has black scales hanging upside down, sharp teeth, and a powerful steel tail. It is dripping with yellow soup.
Huang Liang glanced back while he was busy, and was so horrified that he lost his voice and said, "Nine Infants!" Then he abandoned the two disciples, and with a surge of magic power under his feet, he fled outside the temple as fast as he could.
There was a look of disdain in the eyes of the Nine Baby Beast, and its nine bloody mouths were noisy and clamoring. There were sad cries, joyful laughter, and even the sounds of babies wailing for feeding, the sounds of children learning to speak, and the sounds of men making love. There were scoldings, soft murmurs of women, and sighs and sighs of old men. Various voices competed with each other and intertwined into an unspeakable rhythm.
The head of the ferocious beast Jiuji twisted and stretched, spitting out rockets, earth spears, water arrows, ice picks and other mana-transformed objects towards the three of them.
The poor disciples were unable to fight back, and the fireball was burned into smoke as soon as the fireball hit them.
Huang Liang looked back and ran away faster and faster.
The disdain in the Nine Infant Beast's eyes was even greater, and it swung its steel tail towards the yellow beam like it was chasing clouds and lightning.
※
The wild grass is blowing, the moon is in the sky, the moonlight shines through the branches and leaves into the deep forest, and unknown insects are chirping under the mottled moon shadow.
A bonfire was lit in the forest, and disciples from Chenyuan sat around it, whispering intermittently.
Yan Ci shivered for no reason as he watched the flames spitting out. Du Ruozhou, who was sitting next to him, noticed something and asked curiously: "Did you wet your pants?"
Yan Ci rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I have some inexplicable heart palpitations. I don't know why."
Yu Lu sat across from the bonfire and ordered: "The temperature is low in the middle of the night. You should rest as early as possible so that you can travel tomorrow." All the disciples claimed that it was true and did not mention rest.
The next day, the morning light was dim, the cool breeze was blowing, and thousands of mountains and valleys were shrouded in thin smoke, which was sad and mysterious.
The disciples of Tongchenyuan were fetching water from the stream to wash themselves. Lin Mo stretched his muscles and said, "The journey is still far, so let's set off early." After hearing this, everyone wiped their faces carelessly, then packed up and were ready to go.
Lin Mo replaced several Qingling jade pieces on the mast and shouted: "Get up!"
The misty fairy boat made a buzzing sound, and the sails were filled with wind and swayed upwards, chasing the wind and sneaking towards the north.
Shiyan City is hidden in the vast mountains. There are more than 3,000 households here, and they are quite prosperous. Therefore, this city has become one of the most important towns within thousands of miles.
The reason is that Qunfang Temple lives up to its name, with a large number of stunning beauties attracting many travelers.
Lin Mo slowly stopped the Misty Immortal Boat, and the towering ancient city wall of Shiyan City was already in sight. The city wall was made of blue long stones, and the joints were tightly joined, making the entire city impregnable.
After releasing his spiritual thoughts and quietly exploring the city, Lin Mo said in surprise: "Hey, how could it be an empty city?"
The rest of the people were surprised and took a look around. Qing Ming said: "Everything in the city is in order, but there are quite a few hidden places that can block spiritual exploration. It's better to go in and take a closer look."
Lin Mo nodded in agreement and once again drove the Misty Immortal Boat over the city wall and down into the city.
Shiyan City has changed from what it was rumored to be like. This city, filled with lavish wealth, debauchery and luxury, is completely silent. The city walls that have not been repaired for a long time stand alone, and the long streets paved with bluestones are deserted.
There are row upon row of pavilions and pavilions, showing the prosperity, but the rows of shops on the street are locked and closed, which is very strange.
Yan Ci casually opened an exquisite restaurant. The store owner wiped it diligently and the store was spotless.
All the utensils are neatly placed, there are still scattered flames in the charcoal stove in the kitchen, and a pot of white fungus and lotus seed porridge is still warm.
The three or five bedrooms at the back of the store were no different. The bedding was messy, as if someone had slept there.
Yan Ci couldn't figure it out. Everything was fine, but these people seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.
The other disciples who went to check it all came back and reported basically the same situation.
Shiyan City is still quiet, so quiet that there is not even a breath of wind.
Lin Mo pondered for a while and then ordered: "This matter is too strange. I'm afraid there is an unknown cause. All juniors and sisters will take two disciples to investigate separately. If any abnormalities are found, they will scream to warn." After speaking, he looked at it with an inquiring eye. Qing Ming.
Qing Ming looked a little uneasy and said: "Mrs. Hongwei has been in the world for a long time and has extraordinary strength. Not to mention that Qunfang Temple often stays overnight with monks. If there is a danger that she and others cannot deal with, it is not advisable for us to spread our strength too much."
Lin Mo was stunned and said: "What should I do according to Junior Sister's wishes?"
Qing Ming said: "It won't hurt if the investigation is a little slower. The six groups are divided into three groups. Junior Sister Mei Ying will be with me soon after she advanced. Junior Brother Tianlu and Senior Brother Lin can be safe together. Senior Brother Chu and Junior Sister Hua Daofa The combination of strength and softness is enough to cope with big dangers."
Lin Mo nodded and said: "What junior sister said is reasonable. Without further delay, we will act according to this plan."
Qing Ming warned: "Don't be impatient when encountering trouble. Preservation of life is the first priority." When the disciples saw the teachers speaking outright, they felt inexplicably uneasy in their hearts.
Qunfang Temple is located at the north end of Shiyan City. It is a place where all kinds of fragrances gather together. Yan Ci, Han Bing, Du Ruozhou, and Qu Yuyi, along with Qing Ming and Mei Ying, launched their escape skills and arrived in an instant.
There is a large manor in front of you, with water, trees, Qinghua, lotus pond, Qiong Palace, and rockery.
Along the winding path, there are beautiful small buildings that are full of contentment. The gentle breeze blows through the carved window lattice, the gauze dances indoors, and the rich fragrance of powder floats.
The cups and cups in the orioles' nests are in a mess, the brocade quilts are in a mess, and the chaos of bees and butterflies is about to come out.
Yan Ci and Du Ruozhou were excited when they saw it, and their minds were full of emotions and daydreams.
Mei Ying scolded her at the right time: "Keep your mind upright, this powdery powder is mixed with the fragrance of clouds and rain, so don't show your ugly face."
Yan Ci and the two felt a chill in their hearts, and couldn't help but blush. Han Bing and Qu Yuyi were walking arm in arm, seemingly intimate, but after hearing this, they looked at each other and snickered.
Qing Ming said: "The scene here is clear at a glance, and there is nothing wrong with it. The only thing that cannot be detected by the spiritual sense in the backyard is that we will go there directly to have a look."
