Chapter 2: The Labyrinth
That old monk didn't answer, but only used his eyes to look at these two children carefully, he couldn't help but then look at Lin Jingyu a few more times, and said, "Good qualifications, just how come his temperament is so paranoid?"
At this time, Zhang Xiaofan stepped forward and said, "Hey, who are you! How come I've never seen you before?"
Grass Temple Village was in the vicinity of the Green Cloud Sect, where Taoism was honored and Buddhist disciples were extremely rare, so Zhang Xiaofan had this question.
The old monk glanced at him, the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of a smile, and asked rhetorically, "Little monk, just now, when your life is at stake, you just need to admit defeat, why do you have to support yourself so bitterly? If it wasn't for my old line's intervention, you would have given up your life for nothing!"
Zhang Xiaofan stayed for a moment, in his heart, he felt that this old monk said that there is no reason, but when it comes to the end, he still can not say why, only to be stunned there.
Lin Jingyu glared at the old monk, pulled Zhang Xiaofan's hand, said: "Xiaofan, this old monk is weird, let's ignore him." After saying this, he pulled him towards the outside.
Several children followed, obviously always looking up to Lin Jingyu.
Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously also step away, but he walked out of the temple door after a while, can not help but turn back to look at the temple, only to see the sky darkening, can vaguely see that the old monk is still standing there, only the face has been blurred.
※※※
The night is deep.
A thunderclap, the wind rolls in, and black clouds roll in the sky.
The wind and rain are coming, a solemn killing intent.
The old monk is still in the grass temple, sitting on the ground. Raise your eyes and look, the distant Qingyun Mountain is only a haze, the four fields are quiet and no sound, only the sky and the ground of the rapid wind and thunder.
What a gale!
A lightning cracked through the sky, this small grass temple standing alone in the wind lit up for a moment, only to see that the old monk in this moment has stood at the entrance of the temple, with a serious face, lifting his eyes to look at the sky, and his eyebrows are getting more and more wrinkled.
West of the village, I do not know when has risen a black gas, thick as black ink, churning more than. The old monk stood in the middle of the grass temple, staring at this black gas.
Suddenly, the black gas rolled, circled up, straight to the village, towards the direction of the grass temple. It is extremely fast, in the twinkling of an eye.
The old monk's eyes were sharp, and he saw that there was a child in it, which was the Lin Jingyu that he had seen in the daytime. His face sank, no longer hesitate, also do not see how to gesture, withered body Huo ground up, straight into the black gas.
From an unknown place in the darkness, came a voice with slight surprise: "Huh?"
A few muffled sounds, the black gas suddenly stopped, hovering over the grass temple.
The old monk was holding Lin Jingyu under his ribs, slowly falling down, but the robe behind him had already been torn off a piece. Through the weak light, only to see Lin Jingyu eyes closed tightly, breathing steadily, do not know whether it is asleep or fainted.
The old monk didn't put him down and looked up at the black gas in the air, saying, "Your Excellency's Dao is profound, why did you lay your hands on an ignorant child, you're only afraid of losing your identity?"
A hoarse voice came from the black gas and said, "And who are you that you dare to meddle in my business?"
The old monk did not answer, but said, "This is under the Qing Yun Mountain, if the Qing Yun Sect knows that you are messing around here, I'm afraid that you will not have a good time in the future."
The man pooh-poohed, with a disdainful tone, said, "What is the Qing Yun Sect, just relying on the number of people. Old bald donkey don't need to say more, if you are sensible, give me that child quickly."
The old monk folded his arms and said, "Amitabha Buddha, monks are compassionate, I can't stand by and watch this child suffer at your hands."
The man angrily said, "Good thief and bald, you are looking for death."
Along with his words, it turned out to have been hovering in the black gas, a deep red foreign aura in which flashed a flash, in an instant around this small grass temple, the ghastly winds, ghostly qi flourished.
"'Poison blood streamer'!" Anger suddenly appeared on the old monk's face, "Sinner, you even dare to cultivate such evil things that kill and plague the earth, you will never be spared today."
That hoarse voice a cold laugh, but did not answer, only to hear a whistling, red aura bloomed, fishy smell of gas, a two-foot red streamer from the mid-air slowly sacrificed.
At this time, the sound of ghosts crying more and more mournful, like there are countless ghosts crying at night, between which there are also hidden bones for ringing sound, smell the heart.
"Thief bald, suffer death!" The black gas in the person gave a shout, only to see from the blood-colored red streamer above, suddenly appeared a hideous ghost face, with triangular four eyes, sharp teeth and fangs, "card, card, card, card" bone sound chaotic ringing place, the ghost face of the four eyes suddenly all open, "roar" sound, and even become a solid body! The ghost's face suddenly opened all four eyes, and with a "roar", it turned into a solid entity, rushing out from the streamer with an incomparably bloody aura, striking at the old monk.
The old monk's face was even more furious, knowing that the more powerful this poisonous blood streamer is, the more innocent people will be killed in the process of cultivation. In order to refine this power, I'm afraid that more than 300 people's blood must be sacrificed to the streamer before it can be used.
This evil person is really unscrupulous!
Seeing that the ghost is going to rush to the front of the eyes, the old monk does not put down the child Lin Jingyu under his ribs, only with the left hand holding the jasper rosary, drawing a circle in front of his body in the empty space, one hand knots the Buddhist Lion Seal, five fingers flexing, the fingertips vaguely emit golden light, in a few moments has already been phantomed in front of his body with a golden wheel, golden light is brilliant, and the ghost is frozen in mid-air.
"Little trick, also come to sell..." He a "get" word has not finished, suddenly the whole body shock, only feel the right hand holding the child Lin Jingyu, wrist was a foreign bite, a numbness and itchy feeling immediately line all over the body, a black, the body in front of the wheel of the law at once! Shaking.
At this time, the ghost in front of the bizarre changes, in its left and right four eyes in the forehead, "card, card" two sound, actually opened a blood red eyes, fishy wind, the power is heavier, only to hear a ghost howl, bloody red light flashed, the ghost will be the golden wheel shattered, heavy hit in the old monk's chest.
The old monk's entire body was sent flying backwards, and Lin Jingyu under his ribs fell to the ground, a few muffled sounds on the way, afraid that his ribs had been broken as much as possible. A few moments later, his thin body smashed into the grass temple wall, "Boom" sound, dust flying, a whole wall collapsed.
"Hahahahahahahaha..." the man in the black air burst into a wild laugh, smug and uncontrollable.
The old monk stood up trembling, his throat was sweet, couldn't help but a mouthful of hot blood sprayed out, staining the monk's clothes in front of him red. He only felt golden stars flashing in front of his eyes, his whole body was in severe pain, and the tingling sensation was getting closer and closer to his heart.
He forced himself to calm his mind, the corner of his eye swept over the ground unconscious Lin Jingyu, but saw in his lapel, slowly climbed out of a colorful centipede, a large as palm, the most bizarre is that it tail part of the seven forks, look as if there are seven tails. And each one is a color, each different, colorful, just beautiful but with a few points of horror.
"'Seven-tailed Centipede'!" The old monk's words sounded like a groan.
The black aura on his face was getting heavier and heavier, and blood continued to flow out from the corners of his mouth, as if it was already difficult to support him, but he was still holding on strongly, unwilling to fall down.
He looked at the mass of black Qi in mid-air and said, "You put this world's strange poisonous thing on that child, and intentionally hid your strength to see the opportunity to injure me with one blow, you're aiming at me, right?"
The man in the black air "hehehe" sneered, said: "good, I am specifically for you Pu Zhi bald ass to come. If not, with your Tianyin Temple Buddhist cultivation, it is not easy to deal with. Alright, now quickly hand over the 'Blood Devouring Pearl' and I will give you the antidote to the Seven Tailed Centipede and spare you from death!"
Pu Zhi laughed miserably and said, "In vain, I still have a word Zhi in my name, but I couldn't imagine that you would not covet the Blood Devouring Pearl for refining this poisonous blood streamer evil thing." His face was solemn, categorically said: "To ask me to give this world's most vicious thing to you, but it is delusional."
The black qi center was furious: "Then you can go see your Buddha!"
The red aura flashed, the poisonous blood streamer waved in the wind, the ghost cried out, the huge ghost reappeared, circled in the air, rushed towards Pu Zhi again.
Pu Zhi let out a loud cry, his whole body robes drummed without wind, and his originally skinny body seemed to have risen much larger. His left hand force, only to hear a crunch, the string of jasper rosary beads has been pinched for him to break, more than a dozen crystal clear rosary beads do not fall, but instead of dripping and spinning, one by one issued a green light, floating in front of the Pu Zhi, only that a deep purple bead, but fell straight down.
Pu Zhi palm flip, will be the deep purple beads in the hands, hands that knot around the water bottle seal, two eyes open, the whole body hidden golden light, the mouth word by word read: ", well, it, aba, mimi, playing
"'Six Character Mantra of Great Brightness (Note 1)'!" The tone of the person in the black aura immediately gained a bit more gravity.
As Pu Zhi "Forgive the evil child's fall, in an instant, all the jasper rosaries together blazed with light.
At the same moment, the evil man sacrificed the ghost has rushed to the front, the bloody gas came, but once in contact with the jasper green light, immediately turned into nothing, can not enter the front, so frozen in mid-air.
Rarely, Pu Zhi's body is another burst of shaking, seven-tailed centipede is the world's absolute poisonous thing, with his hundreds of years of cultivation, still difficult to resist. Just his hidden black face, but showed a faint trace of a smile, with a few points of austerity.
"Tie!" Pu Zhi bellowed, such as doing a lion roar, sound vibration in all directions, in front of the body of jasper rosary driven by the Buddha's power, the light is more prosperous, suddenly a rosary "poof" sound shattered, in mid-air phantom as a "Buddha" word, sprinted forward, hitting in the face of the ghosts.
"Wow... ah!" The ghost of a mournful howl, back a few steps, the body of the red aura greatly declined, apparently has been injured.
The man in the black air said angrily, "Good bald ass!"
He was about to move, but it was too late, in a few moments seven, eight rosary beads are phantom as the Buddha's true words hit the ghost. The ghost howled more than, back and forth to avoid, do fear, in the ninth jasper rosary beads hit, finally a long howl, five eyes all burst, bones rattling, boom fell to the ground, struggling a few times, will be stiff and immobile, slowly turned into blood, fishy odor incomparable.
At the same time, Pu Zhi but "wow" sound, and sprayed a large mouth of blood, and the color of blood, has become black.
"Ah!" A scream came from the doorway of the grass temple at the critical juncture of the two great masters' fight.
Pu Zhi and the man in black qi were taken aback, the black qi in the sky moved, and Pu Zhi also looked towards the doorway at the same time, only to see that the child Zhang Xiaofan, who was seen in the daytime, had somehow come before this grass temple, and stood at the doorway, staring blankly at this strange sight in the temple.
Black gas in the person let out a cold snort, also did not see how he moves, that originally climbed in Lin Jingyu body of the seven-tailed centipede suddenly vibration tail, take advantage of the momentum to fly up, as fast as lightning, towards that Zhang Xiaofan fly.
Pu Zhi raised both eyebrows, right hand a finger, a jasper rosary rushed to. The seven-tailed centipede seems to be psychic, know the power, do not dare to resist, tail vibration, will be like a wing general folded and up, into the black gas, no more sound.
Black gas in the person eerily said: "Hey, really worthy of the four sacred monks of Tianyin Temple, under serious injury, can still break my 'poisonous blood corpse king', but you suffer a corpse king hit, and in the seven-tailed centipede's poison, how long can you hold out? It's better to obediently give me the Blood Devouring Pearl!"
Pu Zhi now even the corners of his eyes began to flow black blood, he laughed miserably and hissed, "Even if I die here today, I will still have to get rid of you demon first."
As soon as the words fell, all the jasper rosary beads in front of him lit up at the same time, and the people in the black gas were immediately on guard. Suddenly, a whistling, a thing flashing green light from the back into the black gas, but just hit the seven-tailed centipede's jasper rosary beads, flying out of a section in the air, was Pu Zhi secretly manipulated, folded to the back of the black gas, sudden start to attack.
Only heard a roar in the black gas, apparently that person was caught off guard, "bang, bang, bang" a few chaotic sound, the green flash, black gas scattered, and finally scattered around, into nothing.
From the mid-air slowly fell a tall and thin person, the whole body with a black robe tightly wrapped, can not see the appearance of the years, only a pair of eyes, fierce light flash, in his back, also tied a long sword.
Pu Zhi whispered, "Your Excellency is so skillful, how come you don't dare to meet people?"
The black-clothed man's eyes flashed ferociously, and he said sternly, "Bald ass, today I will let you die without a burial place!"
After saying that, he backhanded "brush" a sound to pull out the long sword behind him, only to see that this sword is as clear as the autumn water, bright not blinding, there is a light light attached to it.
"Good sword!" Pu Zhi couldn't help but shout.
That black-robed man let out a low humph, holding the sword skill in his hand, his feet stepped on the seven stars, and took seven steps in a row, his long sword stabbed the sky in a hurry, and he recited under his breath, "Nine heavenly Xuansha, transformed into divine thunder. Brilliant heavenly might, lead it with the sword!"
Within moments, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly churned, thunder rumbled, the edge of the black clouds constantly flashed with electric light, and the sky and the earth were austere, gusty winds.
"'Divine Sword Royal Thunder True Technique'!" Pu Zhi's face was as pale as gray in an instant, followed by a surprise, a hint of despair and a little bit of inexplicable fervor.
He suddenly shouted, "You are actually under the Qing Yun Sect!"
