Chapter 182: 'Gu' (II)
The carefully crafted puppets are gone, the dayghosts and miasma are strangled in the cradle, and the faceless reinforcements don't know when they will appear.
For a Taiyi person, this is undoubtedly the worst situation.
However, the gray-robed Taoist priest had an indifferent face, as if he had already put life and death out of the way.
Perhaps, from the moment when the sixteen members of their division were selected by the master, the concept of life and death was no longer important, and in the end, he was the only one left among the sixteen.
And standing in front of him is an opponent that Master has not been able to surpass in his entire life.
Although he is standing here now, it is his master who is really facing Huijue.
β¦β¦
"Apprentice, there is still a battle between the teacher and Master Huijue, you must help the teacher, but this wish."
β¦β¦
As long as I think of Master, the whispers of the other party will echo in my ears.
In fact, he remembered very little about the Master, only remembering the Master's two expressions.
The first was to send sixteen of them into a cave full of poisonous gas with a cold face.
The second is the irrepressible ecstasy of seeing him come out of the cave alive.
These brief memories were interwoven and crumpled, and he saw blood, broken corpses, a full moon night, and a demon with a human silhouette but no facial features under the moonlight.
Then the demon told him something.
"Your enemy is not me, nor your master, but a monk named Huijue, and that person is the opponent your master has been looking for."
Master's longing opponent......
Just such a short, thin old man?
There was only one step between the two, and Hui Jue had neither a golden light to protect him, nor did he carry the swords, guns, and clubs of the Martial Academy, as if he could push the other party to the ground as long as he stretched out his hand.
"Amitabha, it seems that I have been in the temple for too long, but I didn't expect the disciples of the old people to grow to such an age."
"You dare to mention him!"
The gray-robed Taoist priest clenched his teeth, although it was very different from the image he imagined, but the old monk in front of him was the opponent that the master would defeat even if he did not hesitate to go mad.
All the suffering he suffered was indirectly caused by the other party.
The dagger slashed at the wrist, but the blood gushing out did not flow to the ground, but turned into a hidden weapon, shooting straight towards Huijue's body.
"Master Huijue!"
Seeing this, Wang Lu, who was an onlooker, couldn't help but exclaim.
He originally thought that Master Huijue would use a move he had never seen before to directly slap to death this Taoist priest who was making trouble in the Hidden Dragon Temple, but he never expected that the Taoist priest's attack would actually succeed.
The arrow-like blood beads pierced the old monk's body straight through, leaving several holes in his body, two of which eventually landed on the wall, and within half a second, the white wall skin was corroded by the blood beads.
One of the holes appeared directly in the heart of Huijue.
Could it be ......
Is it Master Huijue, he is too old, and he can't react for a while?
Or maybe Master Huijue was also unknowingly poisoned in his body, causing him to be unable to act for a while?
It's just that although he was pierced through his body by blood beads, Master Huijue did not move, and he did not break the net with the Taoist fish, but after the blow was successful, the Taoist priest's face did not show the slightest joy, but was stunned in place.
"Amitabha, presumably even so, it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in the heart of the donor, but the old monk has to persuade the donor, the sea of suffering is endless, and turning back is the shore."
"Your Body ......"
The Taoist priest's eyes widened.
At this moment, he could see the scene on the other side through the hole in Huijue's body, but the outline of the hole was not shocking flesh and blood, these blood beads were like hitting the phantom.
"Life's obsession is just a bubble, and your master finally went astray because he couldn't break his obsession."
"You're trying to persuade me to turn back?"
The Taoist priest sneered, "Collaborating with faceless ghosts to attack the Hidden Dragon Temple, killing two disciples of the Hidden Dragon Temple, and seriously injuring three high monks, such a sin, I'm afraid there is no turning back for a long time." β
"Buddhism seeks a state of mind, as long as the donor thinks he can turn back, then that's fine."
"Without further ado, where the hell are you hiding?"
The gray-robed Taoist priest looked around vigilantly, and he had already realized that what was in front of him at this moment was nothing more than the phantom of Huijue, and his true body was hidden somewhere in the Hidden Dragon Temple at the moment.
"What did the donor say? The old monk is in front of you at this moment. β
"In front of me? It's just a trick on your part. β
"Amitabha."
Hui Jue put his hands together on his chest, "The donor came to me to seek revenge, but unfortunately it was a step too late." β
"What does it mean to be one step late?"
"The donor will then know, but the old monk still has one thing to finish at the moment, and he can't continue to deal with the donor anymore."
"You-"
Even though he knew that he was welcomed, the Taoist priest instinctively tried to block him when he saw him stretching out his hand to him.
Master Huijue's hand passed directly through his arm and hit the Taoist priest's neck, and before the Taoist priest finished speaking, his eyes rolled and he passed out.
"Amitabha."
Master Huijue turned around and saluted deeply to the trio outside the courtyard walls, and then disappeared from their sight out of thin air again.
Seeing Master Huijue stunned the Taoist priest, Qin Mu finally realized that something was wrong.
Thinking about this, she looked even more incredulous.
"Master Huijue, he ......"
"What's wrong with him?"
Seeing the scene just now, Wang Lu also had a faint bad premonition in his heart, especially the last sentence, which had already revealed a lot of information.
"It's gone."
Only in this way can we explain how the other party appeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air, and why it was okay to be hit through the body by blood beads.
"No wonder he has been hiding in the meditation room and refusing to see us."
"I'm afraid that Master Huijue did it on purpose, the seal of the Demon Suppression Tower is already fragile at the moment, if you rashly open the door and break into it, it is very likely that the seal will be directly destroyed...... However, once you become a ghost, you can enter it without affecting the seal. β
However, the seal of the Demon Suppression Tower has no entry or exit, and even if Master Huijue finally succeeds in thwarting the Faceless Ghost's conspiracy, he will never be able to take another half step towards the Demon Suppression Tower.
On this trip, he was ready to go back forever.
"You take a look at that Taoist priest first, and I'll go to the back mountain immediately."
Although the plan of the Taiyi family failed, it also hit the Hidden Dragon Temple hard, and the three masters of the Chengzi generation were all poisoned at the moment, and no one could guarantee that there would be other monsters taking the opportunity to attack here.
With the Faceling's calculations, he probably wouldn't put all his chips on the Taiyi people.
Perhaps, they are nothing more than a faΓ§ade.
"Anyway, I'll leave it to you!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
At the same time, the inner courtyard meditation room.
Gu Yun's two arms and one hand resisted Chengkong Chengjing, and he also carried a Chengqing who had fallen asleep on his back, and it was very difficult to walk, and the monks he met along the way wanted to run to help, but he was persuaded to retreat.
The three monks are now simply mobile sources of infection, and all the way he walked, he always felt that there were insects gnawing on his calves, but he couldn't bite off a piece of skin after gnawing for a long time.
"Master Gu, you're tired."
Chengkong was very embarrassed, he didn't expect that the steward of the Third Academy would be planted in the hands of a little Taoist.
"Can you cure this poison yourself?"
"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid it will take some effort."
After suppressing the venom on their bodies, they also had to exorcise the poison for Senior Brother Chengqing, in case another monster attacked at this moment, they might not be able to help much.
The moment this idea was conceived, a huge black shadow stood in front of several people.
"Oh? It seems that I was lucky to be able to meet the three stewards of the Hidden Dragon Temple in one go. β
The blue-faced, fanged goblin leaned down and smiled a penetrating smile.
