Ignoring the frightened crowd around him, Du Chen had already entered the bottom of the lake with the help of Shui Xiaolin. Coming to the top of the boulder, to be exact. Due to Shui Xiaolin's unicorn absorbing water, the dark clouds above his head rolled violently, and lightning flashed and thundered.

"My mana is limited, and it won't take long for the lake to fall down."

Shui Xiaolin had already regained his human form and sat on Du Chen's shoulder, and the water of the entire Shili Lake was absorbed into the dark clouds. However, with the lightning and thunder, the dark clouds became darker and darker, and the absorbed lake water formed a drastic weather change.

"Help find out if there's a box that can be opened with this key."

Du Chen showed the golden key to Shui Xiaolin.

"Like...... Didn't see it. Shui Xiaolin shook his head, "If there is a box, I should be able to find it when I absorb water." ”

Regarding Shui Xiaolin's ability, Du Chen is now convinced.

"If there isn't one at the bottom of the lake?"

Du Chen swept around, and finally landed his gaze on the boulder.

Du Chen came down from the boulder, although the bottom of the lake was full of silt, but Du Chen didn't care, but took a closer look, and found that there was pitch black as ink under the boulder, which was darker than the silt around it.

"Is there a way to move this boulder?" Du Chen turned his head and asked Shui Xiaolin.

"All my mana is to keep the lake from falling, if you still have food, you can." Shui Xiaolin shook his head helplessly, "And you have to hurry, my mana is almost unbearable." ”

The boulder is very large, and with Du Chen's strength, he naturally can't move it, and it is impossible to go back and call someone for help.

"It's going to be wasted again."

Du Chen took out the king-level card, and with a flash of light, the sweeping monk appeared beside Du Chen.

"Get out of the way."

Du Chen looked at the sweeping monk, after all, the boulder is too big, as high as a floor, and the weight can be imagined.

The sweeping monk looked at the boulder, did not speak, took a deep breath, and slapped his palms on the boulder. The one-story boulder moved slowly to the side under the palm of the sweeping monk.

As the boulder moved, a black spell appeared under the boulder, and the rich black qi emanated from the talisman. And with the charm as the center, there is not the slightest silt within a meter, but there is a lotus flower blooming in the middle.

At the bottom of the lake there are lotus flowers and a black charm. With such an abnormal situation, Du Chen certainly understood that there was something strange here. Although he didn't understand what this was, Du Chen still walked cautiously towards the lotus.

But when he approached the lotus, Du Chen found that this lotus flower was not real, just like Du Chen's previous Yipin Bodhi tree, the whole body was crystal clear, exuding a faint cyan gas, making the black gas of the black spell impossible to approach.

Creak.

Du Chen stretched out his hand to take the lotus flower, but found that he couldn't hold it, but could twist it. Twisting it to the right, the lotus leaf began to turn, and then an underground passage appeared below.

"The lake is going to fall." Shui Xiaolin hurriedly shouted.

When Du Chen heard this, he looked up, and the sky was already covered with thunderclouds, and the pitch-black dark clouds overwhelmed the top, making the entire Shili Lake shrouded in darkness.

Bang......

The thunder and lightning roared louder, and the lake churned in the dark clouds.

"Get in."

Seeing that the lake was about to fall, Du Chen gritted his teeth and entered the underground passage. As Du Chen drilled in, the lotus leaf emitting cyan gas closed again, and the underground passage was also closed.

Bang!

Finally, the lake water on the dark clouds surged down like a flood peak, hitting Shili Lake, making a loud sound that shook the earth and the earth, and many passers-by in the distance were shocked to the ground by the surging fall of the lake.

Even Du Chen, who had entered the underground passage, was unable to stand on his feet due to the violent impact. It took a while for the shaking in the underground passage to subside. Du Chen took out a flashlight, and there was gradually a glimmer of light in the dark underground passage.

The underground passage is not very long, but it is dark and damp, and even covered with moss. After only walking for two or three minutes, Du Chen walked to the end of the passage, which was a small room.

The walls of the room were covered in brown bloodstains, and there were strange portraits, but if you looked closely, you might see that the blood stains were completely out of order.

Shui Xiaolin, who was sitting on Du Chen's shoulder, smelled the smell of blood all over the room, felt uncomfortable, and hugged Du Chen's neck and didn't let go.

However, Du Chen also found his target in the room, a box that was originally supposed to be cyan had been covered with layers of thick black blood at this time, and the original color could only be seen from some corners.

Du Chen carefully observed the room and made sure that there was no danger before walking to the box.

Click.

The golden key of token 2 is inserted into the box, and the box is opened with a strong twist.

"It's not easy, for this token three, my little life almost got in."

Du Chen laughed at himself and pushed the box away.

"A letter?"

When Du Chen opened the box, there was only one plastic-sealed envelope inside, but judging by the bulging envelope, it should have been filled with letters. Reaching out and taking out the letter from the box, Du Chen tore it hard, and tore open the edge of the envelope.

However, it was different from what Du Chen thought, in addition to a letter inside, there was also a folded painting.

Opening the painting, by the light of the flashlight, Du Chen found that the painting was not painted with ink, but with blood and water. Inside the painting is a temple that was burned down by fire, and all the houses inside collapsed, and countless monks died inside, and the death was horrific.

In the temple, the only one still alive was a monk with a slightly graying beard, but this monk was also burned by the fire, and his skin was wrinkled all over his body. He was kneeling in front of a towering tower, and beside him there was a cradle in which a baby was crying.

"Demon Suppressor? Could it be that this is the Temple of Mercy in the fire nine years ago? ”

Although the temple and those monks were burned beyond recognition, Du Chen couldn't recognize where they were. However, that tower, that is, the Demon Suppression Platform, is only available in the Little Compassion Temple in the entire Changsitai area, which is simply a sign of Changsitai, and Du Chen will certainly not admit his mistake.

"The monk who knelt down in front of the demon suppression platform should be the Zhikong host of the Little Compassion Temple. Could it be that the baby next to him was Zijue nine years ago? ”

Du Chen looked at the blood painting and carefully counted the dead monks, and the final number reached 37.

"Now there are only 3 monks in the Little Compassion Temple, there seem to be 37 monks in the Great Compassion Temple, and there are a total of 40 monks in the two temples. If you get rid of the Zhikong host who knelt in front of the demon suppression platform, there is also the baby's Zijue, and the three people who only appeared five years later. ”

Du Chen counted this and came to an astonishing fact.

In the Great and Small Compassion Temple, except for the three people of Zhikong, Zijue and Ziwu, all the other 37 monks have died in the fire nine years ago. But now, the small temple of mercy is intact, and there is a large temple of mercy.

The number of people is also the same as nine years ago.

The only thing is that there are two more sub-character monks, Zijue and Ziwu, and there are only these two sub-character generations, and there is no increase.

"Nine years ago, it seems that the Little Compassion Temple did not have monks in or out after the fire. A month later, the monk came out. Since everyone is dead, how can there be monks coming out? ”

Du Chen remembered what he had asked the owner of a nearby shop in the evening, and frowned.

The answer seems to be on the horizon, but it's still a little bit close.
