everything's ready.
Everyone is quietly waiting for the time to come...
Yao Nan looked very excited.
"My deskmate, this is my first time to participate in such a large and important supernatural operation."
I was a bit dumbfounded.
"Xiao Nan, although our operation this time is indeed to fight against evil forces and maintain social order and peace, the process must be very dangerous. You must pay attention to safety. Just follow me and Xiao Yuan when the time comes. Don't try too hard. .”
Uh-huh!
Yao Nan nodded obediently.
"I understand. Don't worry, deskmate."
I gave her a few more powerful spells that I had prepared in advance - both offensive and defensive. When using them, just throw them out. No need to use true energy to activate them.
…
The next day, six o'clock in the evening.
We went near Longhua Temple and arrived at the Yinyang River.
In order to ambush in advance, wait for the arrival of those evil cultivators.
Twelve people were divided into three groups.
Xiao Yuan, Yao Nan, Bai Renxin and I.
Zhao Zihao and his supervisor, the leader of Group E, and Duan Chen.
Lu Fangyue and the director, the leader of Group C, and the deputy leader of Group D.
They were ambushed at the main entrance of Longhua Temple, as well as on the north and south sides, about two hundred meters apart from each other.
Of course, before that, we had already said hello to the abbot of Longhua Temple and the monks and practitioners, telling them to be vigilant tonight.
Longhua Temple is also well-known in Shanghai, and its incense is still relatively prosperous. It's pretty good among the local cultivation sects. There are about twenty monks who actually possess magical power...
Of course, the really powerful ones are only about six or seven.
They secretly prepared secret Buddhist formations. If evil cultivators really invaded the temple, they would be able to form a formation in the shortest possible time to fight against those evil cultivators!
Time passes minute by minute...
Late at night, everything is silent.
The ambush place of Xiao Yuan, Yao Nan, Bai Renxin and I was to the north of the Yin Yang River outside the gate of Longhua Temple. There is also a small bridge here, crossing the river.
In the dark night, I could clearly see that there were many ghosts floating in the river under the bridge.
Rolling, wailing, and making a shrill sound.
This is part of the resentful souls that have been suppressed and sealed in the river by the monks of Longhua Temple for thousands of years!
Under the stone bridge is one of the two "Yin Yang Eyes" of the Yin Yang River, where the evil ghosts will continue to be consumed and eventually disappear.
As for why not directly transcend?
The main reason is that when Longhua Temple started doing this, it was still a troubled time. Too many people died and there were too many evil and resentful souls. The monks did not have the energy and time. Over time, it becomes a habit.
When the troubled times ended and the [Yin Yang River] basically took shape, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became weaker and weaker, and the strength of the entire practice world dropped off a cliff.
The old group of monks in Longhua Temple have passed away, and the cultivation level of the new group of monks is declining. In addition, there is no need to take the initiative to fish out the resentful ghosts that have been suppressed and sealed into the [Yin Yang River].
Various reasons led to the existence of Yin Yang River. At night, a large number of ghosts will appear and roll in the river.
However, all this is invisible to ordinary people.
And it's not dangerous. It mainly looks scary. In fact, the ghosts are suppressed and sealed by the river water, and it is impossible to break out of it and hurt people.
Since the Yin Yang River was formed seventy or eighty years ago, there has never been an incident of evil ghosts escaping or hurting people in the river.
Even if someone walks across the bridge late at night, they will not find any clues in the river - unless they are born with very light horoscopes or have a talent for spiritual practice, they may have some vague feelings - there will be an inexplicable creepy feeling.
Of course, martial artists like Yao Nan, who have already practiced martial arts to the level of dark strength, will also feel something. So she asked me in a low voice.
"My deskmate, I feel a cold air coming from under the small stone bridge, which makes me feel uncomfortable."
Only then did I realize that Yao Nan couldn't see it on his own.
I immediately injected a burst of true energy into her body.
Then Yao Nan trembled slightly and saw a large number of evil ghosts rolling and floating in the river under the stone bridge.
"This this……"
Madoka chuckled.
"What's wrong, Yao Nan, are you scared? You've never seen so many ghosts, have you?"
Yao Nan snorted.
"I'm just a little shocked. I've never seen it before. But I'm not scared at all."
After saying that, she stared at the ghosts, even looking a little excited.
Under this stone bridge is the northern Yin-Yang Eye of the [Yin-Yang River].
According to the speculation during the previous meeting and discussion, if those evil cultivators take action, they will most likely want to start with the yin and yang eyes. Either release a large number of ghosts that were suppressed and sealed in it, or they want to refine these ghosts and obtain a large amount of extremely yin energy!
After all, the mysterious woman in black seems to be obsessed with something like the [Nine Yin Breaking Mysterious Formation]. Perhaps collecting a large amount of extremely yin energy is part of their plan.
Bai Renxin frowned slightly, seemed to think for a moment, and said in a deep voice.
"Brother Wu, there seems to be something wrong with the state of these ghosts."
I was slightly startled.
"What's wrong, Lao Bai? What's the problem?"
I actually didn't see much of it.
After all, Bai Renxin is a powerful old ghost, and his ability to perceive ghosts is stronger than mine.
He shook his head.
"I can't tell you the specifics. I just feel that these ghosts are a little excited... How should I put it? I told you, Brother Wu, that after I advanced to the [Fierce Ghost] realm, I left Shenfu University and wandered around the entire city. I’ve wandered around a lot. Of course I’ve also been to the Yin Yang River outside Longhua Temple.”
"When I came here, when the monks of Longhua Temple were not paying attention, I secretly observed a large number of evil ghosts crossing the river. They seemed to have lost their consciousness. Although they were still struggling and wailing, they were actually quite peaceful. .”
"But today I feel that these ghosts seem to be... much more excited than before!"
Bai Renxin seemed to have found an adjective.
"That's right! I'm more excited than normal. And I saw two ghosts among them. They seem to be no longer in the numb and unconscious state before. Their eyes are no longer empty, but have some sense of wisdom. Brother Wu, you look carefully!"
As he spoke, he pointed at an old ghost in front of him.
I looked in the direction he was pointing. I saw an old ghost wearing silk clothes of a gentleman from the late Qing Dynasty. His eyes were moving, and while he was wailing and struggling, he seemed to be looking around - as if he was waiting and looking for something. !
It suddenly dawned on me.
"I'm afraid, that group of evil cultivators have already been here. And they used some means to communicate with the ghosts in the Yin and Yang River! They even allowed some of the more powerful ghosts to regain some of their sanity and strength."
This further illustrates the authenticity of the information sent back by Wang Feijie’s undercover agent.
At least, that group of evil cultivators did regard Longhua Temple and Yin Yang River as some kind of targets.
