The night wind howled in the northern plains, and strange beast roars sounded from time to time in the darkness.

A bright moon hung in the treetops, and the moonlight was obliquely reflected into the cave, and the five people did not block the entrance of the cave with a boulder, but set up a defensive formation at the entrance of the cave to isolate the cold wind. The cave was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and Yang Qi skillfully flipped the golden and crispy horsetail sheep, and the grease sizzled and continued to drip into the fire.

Han Er was full of praise and said, "Old Yang, your kung fu is really amazing. ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Of course, if I don't cultivate, maybe I'll be a master chef now." ”

Yan Ming took a brush and smeared honey on the sheep, and Yang Qi asked Changning: "Shen Daoyou, do you want some mutton?" ”

"Thank you Yang Daoyou, I don't eat meat." Changning politely thanked him.

Yang Qi is just a customary question, He Wanran is not fishy, since Shen Wu is her cousin, I think it will be no exception. The three of them feasted, Changning and He Wanran each took a pill of Bigu Dan, and after drinking a few sips of spring water, He Wanran took the recorded image to Changning to show Changning the ancient temple they were going to tomorrow, although He Wanran brought Changning over, but without the consent of Yang, Han, and Yan, he only briefly mentioned that they might deal with a stiff hair.

Now that the three of them have recognized Changning, He Wanran told Changning in detail about the situation they investigated, and also took out the image to show her, saying that this habit was still cultivated by Changning. In the video, there is an ancient temple that occupies a small area, most of the temple walls have collapsed, and only half of the two temple doors are left to hang on the door frame.

The paint on the door was peeling off, and half of the plaque was lying on the threshold of the gate, which was covered with cobwebs, and the word "Lanruo" could still be seen on the plaque. Through the hollow door, hundreds of coffins can be seen scattered in the main hall, and occasionally slow walking corpses can be seen moving slowly around. There is also a bell tower at the rear of the main hall that has also collapsed in half.

"The name of this temple is also appropriate." Changning said, isn't this Lanruo Temple, but unfortunately there are no glamorous female ghosts in the temple, only stinking zombies.

"Not really." He Wanran nodded in agreement, she didn't know what Changning was thinking, but in Buddhism, Lan Ruo is Alan Ruo, which originally meant a wilderness and desolate place such as a forest. They will be able to explore this ancient temple because the four of them occasionally passed by half a month ago, and found that a sword light faintly flashed in this ancient temple, but it disappeared in an instant, and the four of them decided to enter the ancient temple to explore.

"This must have been built by a Zen monk." Changning said, "There will be flying swords here?" ”

Xuanmen, Buddhism is the two schools of the most widely inherited in the Middle-earth cultivation circles, there are many sects of Xuanmen, Buddhism is no exception, Zen Buddhism is the sect of Buddhism practitioners in Middle-earth, most of the Zen disciples at the beginning of the practice, will choose a desolate place, brick by brick to build a temple.

After these Buddhist disciples have cultivated supernatural powers, they will be led by the Buddhist elders to the blissful place of Buddhism, leaving behind a temple full of incense. Of course, this is the best result, most of the temples built by Buddhist monks will be like this Lanruo Temple, silently turning into a deserted temple. Although Buddhism also has the Dharma Protector Vajra, most of them still pay attention to compassion, rarely kill, and will not fight with others, the treasures in the ancient temple should not be relics, scriptures, these? How can there be a flying sword?

"Even if you don't, it's not bad to go in and explore, the walking corpses here have become a climate, and if you continue to indulge it, you may have to feed on human blood, and we can count it as doing the right thing for heaven." He Wanran has always had a good attitude in this regard.

"That's right." Changning agreed, if zombies want to evolve, they must devour flesh and blood, if they are really allowed to become the climate, the ordinary people and beasts in the vicinity will suffer, she looked at the video for a long time, and found that the range of activities of the walking corpses is a little strange, "Is there anything strange about this deserted temple?" How do these walking corpses seem to be inseparable from the confines of the deserted temple? ”

"Because there's this." He Wanran took out a green brick from the storage bag and handed it to Changning.

Changning took the green brick, this green brick is extremely heavy, and there is a sound of gold and stone when he hits it, and the brick body still has mottled gold paint, and the scriptures the size of a grain of rice are carved on it, "This is a Buddha brick?" "Changning has seen this kind of green brick in the sect, this is a Buddhist talisman, similar to the talisman of Xuanmen, which can exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits. Many large families in the world love to use this kind of Buddha bricks to build their residences, of course, most of the ordinary green bricks are mixed with a few Buddha bricks, and it is impossible to build all of them with Buddha bricks.

"Yes, the walls here are all made of Buddha bricks, so they can trap these walking corpses, but they can't trap the stiff hair, and the true elements on these green bricks are about to disperse." He Wanran said that the Buddha power on the Buddha bricks is not endless, these Buddha bricks will soon be useless, and then those walking corpses will be the scourge of scurrying.

Changning understood why they insisted that there was a treasure here, and they could use the talisman as bricks and tiles, and this Lanruo Temple was also a big deal, but-"Since these Buddha bricks can keep the walking corpse from walking around, where did the stiffness come from?" How did these walking corpses survive until now? ”

Zombies do not mean that they can live forever, the cultivation of zombies requires the blood of living beings, especially the newly formed zombies are more fragile, and they need to take enough blood every day to survive, this ancient temple is a natural walking corpse cage, and it is said that it is impossible to form a zombie nest.

"It's not clear." He Wanran said that this would not be known until they entered the ancient temple.

"What is the origin of this Lanruo Temple?" Changning asked.

He Wanran looked at the three people who were eating, Yan Ming took a sip of wine with a gourd and said, "Lanruo Temple was a big temple with a peak of incense three hundred years ago, and it is said that hundreds of statues of gods were enshrined in the temple when it was most prosperous.

It is said that many monks came to investigate, but they all returned empty-handed, and the local people saw that the temple had disappeared strangely, so they abandoned the ancient temple. Later, some people used this place as a righteous village, but strange things often happened, and it is said that there were also deaths, and no one dared to come here. The last person in charge of Lanruo Temple was a Taoist priest before becoming a monk, so there may really be a flying sword in the temple. ”

These are all things that Yan Ming has heard these days, Yang Qi smiled and patted Yan Ming's shoulder, "It's really worthy of Lao Yan, and doing things is reassuring." ”

Yan Ming said lightly: "It's a matter of effort." ”

Yang Qi said to Changning: "We suspect that the hairy stiff appeared after the deserted temple was abandoned, and those walking corpses should have been brought by it." "Mao Zhuang is already a little smart, although he can't be as smart as a person, and he knows how to keep his subordinates in captivity. Yang Qi was very happy that Changning could see the problem at once, their experience was not to play with children, and they didn't need useless companions.

"Could there be evil cultivators controlling these walking corpses?" Changning asked, she was more willing to believe that these walking corpses were raised by monks than to raise walking corpses by Mao Zhuang.

Yang Qi shook his head, "We've been investigating for three months, and we haven't seen any traces of the monks, but it's hard to say why. ”

Changning didn't continue to ask, and He Wanran told Changning how they distributed the gains from the expedition, which were usually distributed according to need. That is to say, if someone needs something from the experience, that person buys it at the approximate market price. If two people have a crush on one thing at the same time, then it depends on who can pay more, and the rest of the unwanted items are sent to the market and sold, and everyone shares the money together. Because she joined temporarily, she didn't have the right to bid this time, but she could still share the income with everyone.

Changning felt that this distribution method was quite reasonable, "Ah Ying, do you know the details of the three of them?" ”

"I don't know." He Wanran said, "We didn't even say our names, I'm He Jiu, and you're Shen Wu." The rules here are different from those of the sect, and if others don't say the identity of the origin, we can't ask. ”

"Hmm." Changning responded, "I know that Lao Yan, he is a disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect, and his status in the sect should not be low." "The monks have a good memory, and the first time Changning saw him, he remembered that this person was the senior brother Yan of the Old Ancestor Cave Mansion of Yaocha.

"The three of them are probably no ordinary monks." He Wanran said that she was not sure if they were the monks of the Great Sect, but these three people were definitely not in the pool.

"Those who can experience with you must not be ordinary people." Changning said, she didn't say what she said to praise He Wanran, people gather like like, and it is impossible for people with too big a gap to live in harmony.

He Wanran was amused by her, "So are you boasting?" ”

As soon as Changning finished speaking, she felt that she was boasting, and after listening to He Wanran's ridicule, she grinned, "Of course! ”

The two little girls laughed softly as they spoke.

The three of them looked at each other quietly, they had much more experience in the rivers and lakes than the two little girls, the three of them had already seen that He Wanran was born extraordinary, and he should be a proud son carefully cultivated by a certain family or sect, and the little girl she brought over this time was a person with a similar identity to her, and the three of them were willing to let her join because they saw that she had a solid foundation, even if she couldn't help, it wouldn't drag them down; Second, I also think that the identities of the two are different, no matter whether we can know their true identities in the future, it is always good to have a good relationship now.

He Wanran and Changning were not as complicated as the three of them thought, after the two discussed the ancient temple for a while, they each set up their tents and went inside to rest, the monks did not have any male and female defenses, but the two were not used to meditating and cultivating in front of outsiders. After Changning set up the shielding and defense formation in the tent, he directly entered Qingwu Residence.

Shen Baobao in Qingwu Ju was swinging with vines, giggling from time to time, obviously liked the environment of Qingwu Ju, saw Changning come in, and immediately swayed towards Changning, the fat little arm stretched out, to give the things in his hand to Changning, Changning took the things in his hand, and asked in surprise: "Baby, where did you pick up this spirit bead?" ”

"Drifting-" Shen Baobao said inarticulately, pointing to the lake in front of Qingwuju.

Changning found out that she had always thought that there were a lot of spiritual shells in the lake for decoration, as well as a lot of aquatic spiritual plants and swimming fish, plus those spiritual plants planted in the backyard, forming a small biological chain, which complemented the aura of the spiritual veins, there was no sun and moon in the space, but there was a sun and moon Huazhu control zhì day and night, the senior brother was really hearted.

Changning sighed, let her do this matter, she must not be so careful, she still has something to hone. Shen Baobao saw Lingbei, let out an excited cry, the small body fluttered to the lake, Changning let it play, she took a shower and changed into loose clothes, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice every day.

When she woke up from the meditation, it was already the next morning, she washed up and changed into a neat outfit out of the tent, He Wanran also changed her clothes, put on a veil, Yan Ming and the three of them were still dressed yesterday, the monk has cultivated to a certain extent, and he can use the dust amulet to drive away the dust on his body, and combing with ordinary spring water will only make the body dirtier, and the male cultivators are not as particular as the female cultivators.

"Are you all ready? Let's go. Yang Qi released his cloud water pocket to lead the way, he was the highest cultivation among the five, and he was generally the one who led the way in this situation. The three of them had a tacit understanding of He Wanran and Changning in the middle, but in half an hour, the five of them arrived at the deserted temple.

The deserted temple is in a forest, surrounded by towering giant trees, inaccessible, if the four of them did not pass by here unintentionally, it is impossible to find this deserted temple. Because it was daytime, the walking corpses in the temple seemed to be resting, which was why the five of them came during the day.

"Let's go inside." Yang Qi said that he was still at the forefront, with Changning and He Wanran in the middle. Changning and He Wanran originally wanted to directly throw the sun talisman outside to burn all the coffins in the hall, but Yang Qi and the three of them resolutely objected, they knew very well that He Wanran was generous, and if they really promised to let her lose the charm, the entire barren temple would be over, what treasure were they looking for?

Changning didn't want to lose the charm at the beginning, she wanted to try her swordsmanship? With a finger of her hand, the flowing light flew out, and the sun was really scorching, sweeping away the yin qi around the five people. Yang Qi and the others couldn't help but light up when they saw this jade palace lamp, and they each took out the Zhengyang magic weapon and walked towards the main hall.

Yang Qi took the lead in a sword qi to the coffin in the hall, these coffins have long been decayed due to the long time, Yang Qi's sword qi actually split most of the coffin, many white bones were scattered from the coffin, but there was no walking corpse inside, the five people looked at each other, Yang Qi and the three of them took the lead in cautiously stepping forward, the Buddha shrine in the middle of the hall was empty, there was not a single Buddha statue, only a broken copper incense burner.

"Let's take a look separately." Yang Qi said.

Five of them are scattered, not only in the middle of the hall is not only in the middle of the Buddha statue, even on both sides do not see the Dharma Protector Vajra, the long broken cloth curtain falls from the top of the hall, the hall is full of yin air, the smell of fish strikes, Changning because of the flow of the lamp protection, is not afraid of these yin gas.

"Where did these walking corpses go?" The five of them searched around the hall and found no trace of the walking corpse, so they couldn't help but be surprised.

At this time, a strange smell came with the wind, and Changning faintly heard a faint roar, "Be careful!" As soon as her words fell, a few black shadows rushed outside the hall, and several red-eyed monsters with green hair stretched out their black claws and pounced on everyone, Changning didn't think about it, and the peachwood sword was raised, and the arms of a monster were cut off in an instant, and then the body slid to the right side, and the monster's head was cut off.

Yang Qi and Yan Ming were greatly satisfied with her neat skills, and the three of them no longer paid attention to her, but focused on dealing with the other zombies. Yang Qi raised his hand and released a black circle, cutting a monster in half head-on. The five of them killed the zombies while retreating outside the house, only to go out of the house and meet a dozen black-haired zombies, several people's faces changed slightly, the black-haired zombies are hairy zombies, they observed for several months in the deserted temple and only saw one hairy zombie, and now more than a dozen zombies came out at once, no matter how stupid everyone is, they know that there must be another monk in it.

Changning didn't think twice, a little stream lamp in his hand, a flaming crane flew out of the wick, with a clear sigh, rushed to the nearest hair stiff from Changning, the hair stiff is as hard as iron, invulnerable, and it is impossible to resist the true fire of the sun. The flaming crane only circled around the stiff hair, and after a smack, the stiff hair turned into a pile of dry bones and scattered on the ground.

The flaming crane burned a hair stiff still has the strength to spare, rushed to the second end, Changning also took out a big sword, aimed at a hair stiff head-on is a split, "poof", the hair stiff immediately shortened by half a section, it turned out that its head was deeply hit into the neck by Changning, and the foot and neck below were also buried in the ground, the zombie grabbed with both hands, and the body kept running and running, trying to jump out of the ground, obviously not dead.

He Wanran: "......"

Changning was also stunned by this situation, she blinked her eyes, and while Yan Ming and the three of them were not paying attention, she released a fire crane again, destroying the zombie as quickly as possible. She wanted to try her strength, she didn't want to kill zombies in such a strange way.

He Wanran secretly thought, if this wasn't a zombie, it would definitely be smashed into a meatloaf by a crane, right? No wonder Mr. said that the crane's weapon should not be a great sword, but a mace...... With a finger of her hand, a bronze mirror appeared in mid-air, and a red mist that looked like a dragon and not a dragon flew out of the mirror, like a lightning flash, which would envelop the three hair stiffs, and the hair stiffs instantly turned into a pile of white bones.

Although Yan Ming and the three of them did not have such powerful magic weapons as Changning and He Wanran, the speed of eliminating Mao Zhuang was not weak, but in a few moments, more than a dozen Mao Zhuang were killed by five people. Yang Qi was about to grab a stiff hair and take a closer look, when he suddenly heard a loud shout, "Who dares to hurt this corpse soldier!" As soon as the words fell, everyone felt a gust of yin wind coming, their hair was cold, their skin was shivering, and at the same time, thousands of clouds of blue light mixed with thick bloody qi were sprinkled on their heads.

Yan Ming and the three of them are all old rivers and lakes, always on guard, and the yin wind just rose, and the three of them held up the protective shield. He Wanran and Changning Jianghu are inexperienced, but the two of them are full of treasures, and they are quick to respond, and the Liujing Lantern and Lihuojian each release a piece of golden glow and a red mist at the same time to protect the two of them. The five of them cooperated tacitly to protect each other's companions, and formed a group, ready to see the incoming enemy clearly, and then respond to the battle.
