The dark cave was suddenly illuminated by torches.
Then the footsteps moved from far to near, and the two Taoist priests walked together, one on the left and one on the right. Their expressions looked a little timid.
Blown by the wind in the hall, the shadows swayed like ghosts, and there were strange sounds coming from deep inside.
The little Taoist priest, who was in his early ten years, said with heavy breathing as his legs became weak.
"Senior...Senior brother, I'm afraid I can't get any closer. The aura of demons here is really intimidating..."
The Taoist priest who is called Senior Brother is not very old, no more than twenty-eight.
His clothes were slightly luxurious, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his robes were specially embroidered with beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and behind his back was a long sword more than three feet long.
"It's okay. There's no reason for a practitioner to be afraid of the dark."
Then he took out the talisman from his arms. After a little influx of infuriating energy, the talisman suddenly became hot.
"It's strange. Normally, this Demonic Cave would never have such a strong demonic aura. Could it be that the demon is causing trouble?"
Hearing this, the little Taoist priest couldn't help but tremble all over, his teeth clashed up and down, and he didn't want to go any further.
"Forget it, go to the cave entrance and wait for me for a while. If you don't come out within an hour, go and tell the elders at the inner gate."
"But……"
Without waiting for a reply, he walked straight away, and soon his figure melted into the darkness.
The little Taoist priest gritted his teeth and wanted to follow, but after walking a few steps, he didn't see his senior brother. He was also fascinated by the demon's aura and his head was spinning.
He had no choice but to retreat towards the entrance of the cave, planning to wait for a while.
The young Taoist priest continued to go deeper into the cave, humming unknown songs in his mouth, and his pace frequently quickened.
It was the sect's mission to go check out the Demon-Sealing Cave. He was already familiar with it, and he had also encountered demon aura riots during this period, but this was the first time it was so strong.
However, according to the elders of the inner sect, as long as there is no problem with the magic circle that suppresses the Demon Sealing Cave, no demon will escape.
Therefore, the Taoist priest did not panic at all. It only took him ten minutes to reach the deepest part of the cave.
At the end is a huge cave, and uneven marks can be seen everywhere on the stone walls. It is said that they were beaten by ancient people with magical tools.
A half-meter-sized crack stood in the center, and the demonic aura emanated from inside.
"I don't know when I will be able to achieve such a level of cultivation."
The Taoist priest looked around with a torch, and then he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At least the magic circle was safe and sound, and there were no traces of animals, so all we had to do was return the way we came.
"After all, it is the formation set up by the Taoist Priest of the sect. How could there be any problems? I must be overly worried."
The Taoist priest yawned. Just as he was about to leave the Demon Sealing Cave, he found that the cracks were expanding and shrinking like breathing.
"kindness?!!"
He was startled, and subconsciously took out the contact charm, intending to ask the junior brother at the entrance of the cave to inform the elder.
As a result, the Taoist priest apparently forgot about the taboo of sealing the magic cave. Such charms could not be used at all and turned into ashes within a few breaths.
Before he could feel distressed, the cracks turned into colorful luster, and the demonic aura actually increased a little again.
The Taoist priest felt suffocated. He knelt on the ground and coughed hard, trying to get rid of the demonic breath that poured into his mouth and nose.
But it obviously didn't work, and instead pushed him to his deathbed.
"Oh, it's just a pity that I only ate half of the box of hibiscus cakes brought to me by someone at home a few days ago."
When his consciousness was about to fall into darkness, he saw a thick arm sticking out of the crack in a trance.
Before the Taoist priest could figure out the situation, he fell into a coma under the influence of the demon's aura.
Qin Bai crawled out of the crack like a dog crawling.
Then he straightened up his Taoist robes, fearing that his embarrassed appearance would be seen by others, thus ruining his image.
Only then did Qin Bai notice the young Taoist priest lying not far away.
The opponent's cultivation has reached the perfection of refining Qi, but Qi still cannot stop the erosion of the demon's aura.
Seeing that the Taoist priest was about to lose his soul, Qin Bai opened his mouth, and a suction force came out of his mouth.
The entire demonic aura in the cave was swallowed and digested by him, and then absorbed by his spleen and kidneys.
The little Taoist priest who was far away from the entrance of the cave felt the strong wind blowing towards the Demon Sealing Cave, and he almost fell to the ground without noticing.
He swallowed, holding the contact charm tightly in his right hand and not daring to let go.
Qin Bai, who was the instigator, stepped forward and looked at the unconscious Taoist priest. The man's clothes were really fancy and he didn't look like he was from a serious Taoist sect.
But isn’t this Maoshan?
Then he shook his head. The formation that sealed the rift in the underworld was completely different from Maoshan's. It seemed that he was in the wrong place.
Compared with the immortal method of using mountains as a formation, this formation is too simple.
Qin Bai thought for a moment. He carried the Taoist priest and prepared to leave the cave. He also reinforced the magic circle arranged around the crack.
It took him a few breaths to walk outside the cave, feeling the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers under the harmonious sunshine, and couldn't help but smile.
It's nice to be back in the earth, and the cold and damp smell is gone from the air.
But soon the smile on Qin Bai's face stiffened, and his brows frowned tightly.
Looking up, I saw a dozen figures flying through the sky with different methods, either wielding swords or using magic weapons.
Their cultivation generally involves refining energy and becoming gods, and they don't look very old.
And because the terrain was low, Qin Bai also noticed that there were palaces stacked on top of several nearby peaks.
Hundreds of people were walking around, all dressed as Taoist priests.
Qin Bai turned to look at the trembling little Taoist priest not far away. The latter quickly raised his hands and shouted: "Don't kill me!!"
He hurriedly asked: "What's this mess, where is this place?"
The little Taoist priest wanted to cry but had no tears. The strange changes in the Demon Sealing Cave were scary enough. A strange Taoist with all muscles walked out of it. Could it be some evil heretic...
"Senior, this is Changzhou Maoshan Sect."
"Changzhou."
Qin Bai murmured to himself, and his expression became distorted, which made the little Taoist tremble all over with fear.
In Qin Bai's memory, there was no place named Changzhou in the Song Dynasty, let alone such a large Taoist sect, and he felt increasingly uncomfortable.
"What about Dynasty?"
"Five years of Zhenguan..."
"Ouch!!!"
How could Qin Bai not know about Zhenguan, which was the beginning of the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, and he actually came hundreds of years ago?
He couldn't help but enter mechanical thinking, and his brain was spinning rapidly.
If it were normal history, there would only be a difference of about four hundred years, but in his world, the Tang Dynasty, which should have perished, continued to last for more than two hundred years.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty had very few records of the previous dynasty, so it was probably six hundred to one thousand years ago.
Why does this happen? Is it related to the crack?
No, there must be a cause and an effect.
Suddenly, Qin Bai was stunned. He recalled every bit of what happened in the underworld, and he couldn't help but have the answer in his heart.
He took out an unusual-looking merit instrument from the fish bag. It was made of logs and was consecrated in the underworld. It was forgotten after crossing the river.
This meritorious instrument was in the shape of a wooden strip. Qin Baizi groped carefully and soon discovered that there was an obscure crack in the middle.
He grabbed both ends of the wooden bar with both hands and exerted force.
The merit instrument actually folded in half, and then Sanskrit characters gradually appeared on the surface, which meant "pineapple and jackfruit".
Qin Bai's face was full of disbelief. He said to the little Taoist crazily: "Can you believe it, Moonlight Treasure Box!!!"
The little Taoist priest didn't know what the other party was talking about, but in order to save his life, he echoed: "Senior, I believe it, I believe it."
Qin Bai calmed down and put the moonlight box into the aquarium.
He knew that as long as he could use this meritorious weapon flexibly, it would not be difficult to return to the original point in time.
Is it possible to leave like this?
Thinking of this, Qin Bai's heart was filled with pride and joy.
Thousands of years ago, there was a great era when immortals and Buddhas stood in the clouds.
With Qin Bai's strength, he was already unrivaled in the Song Dynasty, and even a few people who could refine the gods and return to the void might not be able to do anything to him.
But the problem is that future generations have cut off the way forward, and further progress has long been impossible.
No matter how talented the practitioner is, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is like a huge mountain that cannot be circumvented.
Because it is impossible to become an immortal or a Buddha by just relying on a thousand years of longevity, you have to go to the underworld to reincarnate and rebuild, and in the end you can only end up being crushed to death like an ant.
Even if Qin Bai is confident that he can achieve enlightenment within a thousand years, it does not mean that he can escape the poisonous hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
But now it's different.
Relying on the Moonlight Treasure Box, he can achieve the cultivation level of suppressing the immortals and Buddhas before Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva goes crazy, and thereby gain immortality.
Qin Bai forcefully came back to his senses.
In any case, let’s first determine the situation in various places in the Tang Dynasty during the fifth year of Zhenguan.
Judging from the vague history of the Tang Dynasty, the water must be extremely deep, otherwise it would not have survived for more than two hundred years.
"What do you call fellow Taoist?"
The little Taoist priest was pulled up by Qin Bai, and he replied with a pale face: "The Taoist name is Kongyin..."
Qin Bai took the initiative to show his true energy, then patted Kong Yin's shoulder and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just happened to be in the cave, so I saved your senior brother's life by the way."
After Kong Yin noticed Qin Bai's true energy, he scratched his head in embarrassment.
Think about it, after all, this is the territory of Maoshan sect, how could there be heretics.
And Qin Bai's true energy does have a bit of Maoshan flavor.
He couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, I don't know which mountain you are from."
Qin Bai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that although his fundamental method of practicing qi did not come from Maoshan, the method of forming the golden elixir was closely related.
In particular, the immortal-suppressing pattern on the surface of the heart was originally learned from the mountain-protecting formation.
However, there are currently no traces of Maoshan's formation in the mountains, so it is estimated that the immortal behind him has not taken action yet.
He barely managed to fool Kong Yin, who was still young, and was ready to sneak away from the Maoshan sect when he found an opportunity.
While Qin Bai was chatting away, another Taoist priest also woke up.
He covered his head with both hands and had no idea what happened in the Demon Sealing Cave. It was obvious that his memory had been tampered with by Qin Bai.
"Senior brother, are you okay?"
"it's okay no problem……"
Kongyin told him what happened, and the latter quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, senior brother. My name is empty. Do you know your senior brother's name?"
"Mechanical...well, empty?"
Qin Bai suddenly remembered the old Taoist from Maoshan in later generations.
If they were the same person, the Taoist priest in front of him would live for nearly a thousand years and meet him twice.
Qin Bai hesitated to speak, always feeling that the Taoist Master Kong in later generations would definitely recognize him, so his behavior was somewhat inexplicable.
There was a dull pain in his head. The amount of information contained in it was so great that he wished he could ask Kong Kong the old man face to face.
Qin Bai didn't intend to stay any longer. He said hello casually and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Kong Kong as soon as he took a few meters.
Kongyin struggled for a few breaths, and then found a reason to send Kongyin away.
Compared with Kong Yin, who grew up in Maoshan, Kong Yin only entered the mountain gate when he was thirteen years old, and still relied on the influence of the government.
He knew that his talent was far inferior to that of his peers.
According to normal development, it would be difficult for him to even make a breakthrough in refining energy and becoming a god. I am afraid that he will return to the mortal world after practicing until he is thirty years old.
But I don’t want to do anything empty, so I don’t want to let the opportunity pass me by.
In his opinion, although the memory of the Demon Sealing Cave was gone in his mind, it was certainly impossible for the person in front of him to appear out of thin air.
There is only a crack in the Demon Sealing Cave that connects to the underworld.
If Qin Bai was a Taoist priest who sneaked into Maoshan with evil intentions, it would be impossible to save him at the risk of being exposed.
Maybe it only comes from the underworld.
A monk who can travel between the realms of yin and yang is an opportunity in front of Void.
Vukong did not expose it, but reminded in a low voice: "Senior brother, now the sect has closed the mountain, and you will be noticed as long as you leave the range, unless you are on a mission."
Qin Bai looked at him deeply and said, "What if I'm in an emergency?"
Kong Kong wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It just so happens that, junior brother, I want to take on the task of going down the mountain to slay demons and eliminate demons. I am lucky enough to have senior brother accompany me."
"But it has to be tomorrow, and the time for leaving the mountain is also stipulated."
Qin Bai lit a cigarette and said, "Junior brother, can you let me stay overnight?"
"Okay, senior brother, come with me."
Kong Kong naturally agreed, but Qin Bai was just testing: "No, I will come to you tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Qin Bai disappeared in a few flashes.
The Maoshan sect is located in the mountains, so it is not difficult to hide. Qin Bai can also use this to observe the power of Maoshan during the Zhenguan years.
As a result, there were four or five pill-forming monks on the bright side alone, and even more refining qi and becoming gods.
With Qin Bai's cultivation level, he can only keep a low profile. Of course, he is not weak even in the face of the refining god and returning to the void. He can even escape from a head-on confrontation.
But the Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty was not a later generation. By the time of the Song Dynasty, the orthodoxy had been cut off. Qin Bai used those demonic methods to sell sheep's heads and sell dogs' meat. Not many people could see through it.
But nowadays, most of his trump cards are hidden from the light. Maybe using green uranium or black titanium wrought iron will attract a bunch of big guys to watch.
Low-key, or mainly low-key.
At least he has to wait until he breaks through the God Refining and returns to the void, so that Qin Bai can have some say, and then he can think of how to make things happen.
Qin Bai silently gathered his breath, and then hid in a remote corner of the mountain.
He couldn't even imagine that the person he thought was a master was in such a state of desolation, and his mind was filled with thoughts of survival.
