Chapter 152: Ancient Temple in the Forest
The breeze came slowly, blowing the surrounding flowers and trees, and the barren ancient temple in front of it was completely revealed from the jungle at this moment.
At a glance, Dongtunan saw a protruding chimney mouth at the top of the ancient temple, which seemed to be temporarily piled up with new soil, and a green smoke slowly rose at this time.
"Ahem......"
As soon as he approached the ruined ancient temple, Dong Tu Nan faintly heard a slight cough.
It was like the voice of an old man, and after the low voice, there was a deep sigh, which came out of the ancient temple.
"Anyone?" said Dong Tu Nan to himself, a little confused.
Immediately, he asked the big dog to be stationed in front of the gate of the ancient temple, and he walked inside alone.
Stepping into the rotten wooden threshold, stepping lightly on the soles of his feet, and clearly feeling the friction of debris and sand, Dong Tu Nan craned his head and looked inside, and found that there was darkness everywhere.
"Ahem......" was another light coughing sound, and the source of the sound seemed to be inside.
Dong Tu Nan carefully observed the environment inside the ancient temple. It's full of rubbish. Dust had accumulated layer after layer, and on the pile of broken cloth shirts, there were a few black, charred woods, and there was a mess everywhere.
In the dim corner, from time to time, some small animals are rubbing and squeaking.
"Huh?" he continued to walk a few steps inside, and there was a burst of dust.
In the middle of the ancient temple, there is a large altar with a tall stone statue, which is different from the statues of gods and heroes that you usually see, this statue is a strange appearance of a half-man and half-beast.
On closer inspection, this half-human, half-beast statue seems to be very distinctive.
It has a human-like face, but with two horns on the top of its head, and its face is much more ferocious.
It has the same body and limbs as a human, but it is much more majestic and taller.
In addition, it has beastly characteristics that humans do not have.
For example, it has a pair of large wings that stand out on its back, and a slender tail behind it, like a combination of a flying peng and a long snake.
This half-human, half-beast statue was lifelike, and although it was only a statue, Dong Tu Nan suddenly had a strange feeling in his mind.
He looked up at the fierce carved eyes, only to feel as if a terrifying gaze had instantly locked on him, and he couldn't help but subconsciously retreat.
"Hiss~ It's terrible, what kind of monster is this?" Dong Tu Nan's heart was already overturned, and he was shocked by the powerful power just now.
Continuing to look elsewhere, there was an altar in front of the entire Great Altar, directly in front of the half-human, half-beast statue.
The altar is in the shape of a ladder, made entirely of granite or some other kind of stone, and there is a row of tributes on it, but there is no trace of the tributes in the copper plate containing the tributes.
On the altar, dust was piled up everywhere, as if it had been a long time.
Next to the copper plate where the tribute was placed, there seemed to be traces caused by some living creatures, and Dong Tunan took a closer look and found that the layer of dust on the altar had been wiped off in several places, leaving the outline of a palm print.
"Could it be that there are people living here?" a bold guess struck his mind.
Combined with the low coughing sound I heard just now, and the puff of green smoke I saw, these factors seemed to confirm that there were indeed people here. Suddenly, this dilapidated ancient temple looked even more terrifying in a dim environment.
Turning the side of the altar, Dong Tunan strode past the barrier under his feet, and suddenly saw that there was a damaged wooden door behind him.
He walked over quietly, and a cool breeze rushed to his face, accompanied by the whimper of the wind, and the sound of the light cough seemed to sound again, and Dongtunan was sure that its source was behind the wooden door.
"Squeak~"
He opened the tattered wooden door and was greeted by a small house, which surprised him to not have so much dust inside, pots and pans, everything.
As soon as I looked at it, I saw a thin figure, which looked like an old man, with pale face and gray hair, and his hands were trembling incessantly, and his mouth was constantly coughing.
It turned out that the coughing sound I heard outside just now was all from this old man.
Dong Tu Nan's sudden arrival naturally disturbed him, and the white-haired old man turned around slowly, a pair of cloudy eyes open weakly.
At the moment when the white-haired old man looked over, Dong Tu Nan felt uncomfortable, but he still looked up at him.
During the eye contact, it was as if a misty hallucination appeared in Dong Tu Nan's mind, as if he had fallen into an unconscious state, but it was fleeting.
When his gaze returned to Qingming, he saw that in the hand of the white-haired old man, there was an extra wooden cane at some point, and he was hobbling towards Dongtu Nan at this moment.
Da-da-da-da.
The wooden staff struck on the ground covered with debris, making a soft sound, and the white-haired old man walked up to Dong Tu Nan, looking listless, his eyes moving, looking him up and down.
"Boy, you... Where did you come from!?Break into the old man's residence, get out of here!" The white-haired old man squinted, and his voice was very loud.
"Ah......" Dong Tu Nan glanced at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that although this old man was old, his temper was not small, and he didn't say anything yet, but he was clamoring for people to get out.
"What's the matter? What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and go! This is not the place for you to stay!" the white-haired old man still had a bad temper and urged him repeatedly.
"Why ......" Dong Tu Nan had just said a few words, and suddenly saw that the white-haired old man raised the wooden staff in his hand and was about to slash at Dong Tu Nan.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran out, and the whirring sound of the wooden staff waved brought a light breeze behind him. But he subconsciously showed his body technique, and instantly ran to the outside of the ancient temple.
"Huh~" Dong Tu Nan patted his chest and said to himself with relief, "What a strange old man, don't let you say a word, just do it indiscriminately." ”
As he muttered, he turned around and craned his neck to peek inside, it was pitch black, but he couldn't see anything.
"Forget it, don't care about him, big dog! let's go ......" Dong Tu Nan shook his head, beckoned to the big dog on the side, and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped.
His gaze was withdrawn from the interior of the ancient temple, and as soon as he retracted it, it seemed that something appeared in his sight.
Puzzled, he couldn't help but look back and again, but it was this glance that made Dong Tu Nan immediately change his mind about leaving.
The ground of the ancient temple, which was originally full of dust, now has a striking long mark, extending from the door to the inside, and it is the wooden staff of the white-haired old man who does not need to think about it.
"Can his stick hit so far?" Dong Tu Nan was surprised, he clearly remembered that the old man's wooden staff was just an ordinary size, no matter how he picked it, it would not be possible to fall to the gate of the ancient temple!
Moreover, the end point of this stick mark landing is only a fraction from his back, only a little bit away, and it may be directly on the back of his head.
In this regard, Dong Tu Nan couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, he didn't believe that this was a pure coincidence, he could control the location of the landing point so well, the white-haired old man was definitely not an ordinary person!
Moreover, whether it is from the position where the wooden staff is settled, or his control of strength, the old man's cultivation strength can be called terrifying.
However, why would such a peerless master hide in such a dilapidated ancient temple?
Was he a reclusive man, or was he some kind of secret conspiracy?
"I'll go and ask him about it," but then he shook his head again, "No! I just saw his hot temper, and I just entered so rashly, I will inevitably be kicked out, and I have to think of a good way." ”
In this way, in the huge forest, the figure of a young man was pacing back and forth in front of an ancient temple, and there was a snow-white source beast next to him, two big eyes staring at him, turning as he continued to move.
"There it is!" Dong Tunan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had a feeling of being opened.
.........
In the endless Burial Demon Mountains, there are lush vegetation everywhere, and from a high place, it looks like a magnificent sight.
At this time, at the edge of the mountain range, there were groups of source beasts gathered.
They are different in size, shape and appearance, and there are many types, including the same kind, different races, and natural enemies. The aura exuded by each source beast was also strong and weak.
But even so, these source beasts of different populations still gathered together, not only did there be no sign of conflict, but the scene was very peaceful.
As if receiving some mysterious call, they all emerged from their nests or territories and marched in unison towards human territory beyond the mountains.
"Brothers, charge!" a general in armor shouted to the large number of sergeants behind him, standing on a high slope with a sharp sword in his hand.
They are all elite soldiers and strong generals in the Snow Wind County City, because of the disturbance in the Burial Demon Mountain Range, many source beasts rioted, causing the surrounding people to suffer greatly. Therefore, Xuefeng County's guard Xuecang Mountain immediately sent a large number of soldiers to support the people in various places.
In particular, some villages close to the mountains have suffered from the cruel destruction of the source beasts, and this disaster continues to spread to all directions.
Boom!
Some powerful source beasts also dispatched, and the momentum shook the heavens and the earth, and every step they took would be accompanied by the death of a human monk.
"Kill! Kill!"
A large number of soldiers gathered from all directions, and among them, there were also a small number of righteous soldiers, all fighting to protect the county!
Fierce shouts resounded through the sky, and countless Dao Source Forces erupted from the crowd, rushing towards those fierce Source Beasts.
For a time, the mountains and rivers shook! The sun and the moon were gone!
