Chapter 124: Monk
After seeing the white figure, the middle-aged man took a piece of moonstone from his disciple's hand and quickly chased it forward. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The young man in white in front seemed to be moved, glanced back, snorted contemptuously and continued to walk forward.
The red robe looked very strange under the illumination of the moonstone, Qi Xuan couldn't help but pick up the robe and shake it in his hand, a choking musty smell came to his face, and thick dust kept falling from the robe to the ground.
Qi Xuan looked at the robe in his hand over and over again, but he didn't find anything unusual, which made him feel disappointed in his heart.
After dropping the robe, Qi Xuan looked around and found that there was another door not far away.
Qi Xuan didn't hesitate at all, and walked straight into the door, which was still a long and narrow passage behind it. Different from the previous passage, this passage was full of peace, there was no gloomy and corrupt atmosphere at all, and the smell of incense came from a distance from time to time, looking at all this, Qi Xuan's heart was even more puzzled.
With a movement of his feet, Qi Xuan walked towards the other end of the passage. Suddenly, a small hole in the ground in front of him was the size of a man, and he was terrified.
"This. This.. Looking at this small hole, Qi Xuan couldn't calm down anymore, and his mouth opened wide.
At the edge of the small hole, there was a pile of dirt, and next to the dirt, a string of Buddhist beads lay quietly there. The dirt on the edge of the hole was so soft that it looked like it had just been dug out.
Qi Xuan quickly walked to the side of the small hole and observed it carefully, grabbed a handful of dirt scattered on the edge of the small hole, and gently kneaded it in his hand.
"Sure enough, it's a new soil!"
Qi Xuan threw away the soil in his hand and began to observe the small hole, he found that there was no trace of excavation in this small hole, but it was formed as if something had been drilled directly out of the ground.
"Hey, there isn't a trace of dust on this Buddha bead!" When Qi Xuan's eyes turned to the string of Buddha beads, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation again.
He picked up the beads and looked at them carefully, and found that the beads were not only free of dust, but also extremely smooth, as if someone had been constantly wiping them.
All kinds of strange circumstances made him feel a great crisis in this peaceful atmosphere, he put away the Buddha beads, and carefully continued to walk forward with the bloodthirsty sword.
As he continued to move forward, the smell of incense became stronger and stronger, and it was faintly accompanied by bursts of Sanskrit singing and the sound of dong dong wooden fish.
These Buddhist rhythms were like a warm call, pulling Qi Xuan forward unconsciously. There was a hint of piety and yearning in his eyes, and it seemed that the entire mine had become a Zen place.
Suddenly, a piercing pain in the soles of his feet made him slam a spirit, and his eyes suddenly returned to clarity. Only then did he realize that the soles of his feet had been pierced by a slender and sharp hard object, and the slightest trace of blood was flowing out of the wound.
He lifted his foot slightly, and with the help of the moonstone, he finally saw the hard object, which turned out to be a human finger bone nailed deep into the dirt.
"It's dangerous!" Qi Xuan thought of the situation just now, and glanced ahead with palpitations, and silently recited the heart-clearing mantra that Yan Ruchen taught him in his heart.
At this time, the sound of Sanskrit singing and the sound of wooden fish were still ringing, but they could no longer affect Qi Xuan's mind.
"I'd like to see what's weird up ahead!"
Qi Xuan's heart moved, and he actually launched the Phantom Body Method, under the effect of the Nine Transformations to the Yuan Dan, the True Qi of Life and Death in Qi Xuan's body was temporarily balanced, so at this time, he could mobilize the True Qi in his body without any scruples.
Qi Xuan, who had unleashed the Phantom Body Technique, walked on the ground in this narrow passage, and walked out of this passage very quickly.
At the end of the passage was a huge Buddhist hall, covered with yellow curtains, but these curtains had been covered in thick dust and shattered into rags.
Directly in front of the Buddha hall, there is a huge Buddha statue, and in front of the Buddha statue, there is a very clean incense case. There was only thick incense ash in the incense burner on the incense table, and in front of the incense table, there was a tattered futon, on which was sitting a monk chanting complex scriptures in his mouth, while one hand was gently knocking on the wooden fish in front of him.
"Could it be that this is a high-ranking monk who has come here to surpass these miners?" Qi Xuan's heart flashed with a trace of doubt.
The monk didn't seem to feel Qi Xuan's words, and kept reciting scriptures and beating the wooden fish.
Qi Xuan's mind was settled, and he slowly stepped forward, clasped his hands together and saluted: "Master." ā
The monk still didn't turn his head, Qi Xuan couldn't help frowning, and just when he wanted to continue talking, Yan Ruchen's eager voice suddenly sounded in Qi Xuan's mind: "Retreat!." ā
At the moment when Yan Ruchen's voice sounded, Qi Xuan had already unfolded the phantom body technique and floated back a few feet, and at the same time quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"This monk doesn't even have a trace of a living person's breath!"
Yan Ruchen's words made Qi Xuan feel like he was in an ice cellar, and he was cold from head to foot: "What." What?"
Qi Xuan looked at the monk in front of him who was quietly reciting scriptures and beating wooden fish, this monk who seemed to be extremely peaceful turned out to be a dead man.
"You'd better get out of this place quickly, I already feel that this place is unusual!" Yan Ruchen reminded.
"I feel it too!" On the left side of the Buddha Hall, there was a door, this door had been seen when Qi Xuan had just entered this Buddha Hall, and he glanced at the monk vigilantly, and Qi Xuan swept towards the door lightly.
Just as his body was moving, the sound of chanting and the sound of wooden fish suddenly stopped, and the monk finally moved.
I saw him stand up slowly, and his every movement was very wooden, as if his whole body was like being made of wood.
When his whole body turned around, what appeared in Qi Xuan's eyes was a black and shriveled face, and two bloodshot eyes in the deep sunken eye sockets were staring at Qi Xuan tightly.
"Huh. Oh. An ugly voice came from the monk's throat, and the monk turned out to be a zombie too.
Seeing the monk turn around, Qi Xuan knew that something was wrong, and his speed increased suddenly, but at this time, Qi Xuan was still dozens of zhang away from that gate, and no matter how fast he was, he couldn't reach that gate in an instant.
The monk was extremely hideous, stretched out his hands forward, and walked towards Qi Xuan step by step, while reciting a scripture in his mouth.
As this scripture was recited, the entire Buddha Hall suddenly shook, and the soil on the ground of the entire Buddha Hall was constantly shaking as if it were boiling water.
Countless monks emerged from the ground, without exception, their eyes were sunken, their whole bodies were extremely shriveled, and the robes on their bodies had already been corroded and tattered. After a while, the ground of the entire Buddha Hall was full of holes, and countless small holes the size of one person filled the entire Buddha Hall.
It was only at this time that Qi Xuan understood how the small hole he had seen before had formed.
These zombie monks who emerged from the ground stood quietly in place, and at this time, Qi Xuan could no longer pass through the door, because behind him were full of monks who emerged from the ground.
"Huh. Oh. The monk who was chanting in front of the incense table just now let out a gloomy cry, and then walked towards Qi Xuan again step by step.
As if they had received some kind of order, the other monks gathered towards Qi Xuan from all directions.
Just when Qi Xuan was surrounded by this group of monk zombies, Yichen's figure appeared in the passage leading to the Buddha Hall.
