"Thank you for saving your life, the old man will come to thank you in the future." After the old madman finished speaking, he waved one hand, and Lu Pengcheng and the three of them were coerced by the golden light and went to the roof on the side.

Before they could react, the old madman withdrew the golden light, and they passed out on the rooftop.

The hamstring had been drained from the saddle lying on the boat, mocking the old madman's behavior: "The farmer and the snake." ”

The old madman sneered: "If you keep your promise and take me to the idol instead of destroying the golden bowl, can I rob someone else's ship?" You're the one who hurts people! ”

"Old madman, you can't distort your three views!" Ma Kasa said as he secretly poked the kayak with the key, intending to do it again and sink the old madman overboard.

"Say whatever you want." The old madman got up, went to the stern, took the helm, and said, "I advise you not to play any more tricks and do anything to sink the ship." If I fall into the water again, your hamstrings will follow me into the water. If I drown, you'll be a waste. ”

How did I forget this? Mahata stopped what he was doing and slowly put the keys back into his pocket.

The old madman looked at Ma Li with bright eyes and said, "You don't have to worry, I will be bad for you." I have regained my sobriety. With that, he let out a long sigh.

"You seem to know a lot of things, but do you know why I'm so insane?"

"Did you get some blows?" Ma Kasa saw the old madman's eyes and knew that he had returned to normal, and his hanging heart was also relaxed.

The old madman shook his head and said, "Back then, I went crazy in my practice, and in order not to cause trouble to my fellow disciples, I hid in the mountains alone. Later, Patriarch Yuqing gave me an elixir to remove demons from the heart, and asked me to sit in front of the elixir every day to meditate and absorb the immortal qi of the elixir. In the end, I meditated for thirty-five years, and on the last day, I was able to return to normal and get rid of my demons. ”

"But, I didn't expect it, on this last day. When I was meditating, I fell into a coma and waited for me to wake up. I saw that the white snake, that is, Bai Susu, swallowed the elixir. ”

"At the time, I was devastated." The old madman's eyes showed infinite loss, "I even forgot to attack Bai Susu." ”

"Later, I sat in the mountains for a hundred years before I could control my demons. But it's just control, not removal. So once I have an obsession, I go crazy. ”

"I see." Ma Li found that the old madman's mood was not as tyrannical as when he first came, so he began to communicate with the old madman, "Revenge on Bai Susu has become an obsession in your heart." That's why you will do whatever it takes to break Bai Susu's happy family and make her feel painless, instead of killing her yourself? ”

The old madman didn't speak, and looked at Ma Li for a long time before he spoke: "You are very smart. I haven't told you anything about this, you can actually guess. They all thought that I accepted Xu Jiao as an apprentice in order to let Bai Susu return my elixir, thinking that the elixir could increase my strength. In fact, the elixir didn't increase the power at all, and at that time, I didn't care about the demons in my heart, it didn't matter if there was an elixir or not. ”

An old man and a young man communicated unhurriedly on the boat, and it was not long before they came to the outskirts, where the water was already shallow, and if the kayak continued to advance, it would be cut.

The old madman hid the kayak, and then galloped with the horse, and before it was dark, they came to the Extreme Yang Temple.

"That's what you're talking about?" The old madman frowned, and looked at the gate that was already covered with cobwebs.

"Yes...... I've only been here some time ago, how can this be like this? "Ma Kasa didn't notice anything unusual about the old madman. He tore open the cobwebs and knocked on the door and shouted, "Anyone?" ”

Except for the occasional cricket call, the horse received no response.

With a slight push, the door opened, and the old madman entered.

The main hall that had been destroyed by Ge Mazi had been repaired, and Ma Li entered the hall again to find that the headless clay statue in the middle had been replaced with the clay statue of other immortals.

"Why isn't it the original?" Ma Li's chin touched and circled around the new clay statue. Then he walked to the back door and shouted to the backyard, "Anyone?" I'm here to rob! ”

Still no one responded to Mahata.

"A few days ago, there were people in this Taoist temple who ran to me to ask for money, why is there no one today? Did they take the money and break up? Mahata walked back to the clay statue.

"Where is the statue of the Yuqing Patriarch? Why didn't I see it, you shouldn't be lying to me again. Although the old madman did not speak in a good tone, he did not look at the horse, but his eyes wandered, as if he was remembering something.

"That's why I really didn't lie to you. You wait, I'll look at the phone not they disguised the idol. Ma Lisa cautiously jumped on the incense table, and used his hands to assist the clay figure's head.

The old madman came back to his senses, looked at Ma Li's strange behavior, and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Help you find the idol!" After saying that, Ma Li twisted the head of the clay statue hard, and the head of the clay statue was separated from the body.

"No pattern? Did they throw away the original clay statues? Ma Kasa wiped the broken neck of the clay statue with his hand, but did not find the black figure receiving the image of the people kneeling.

"What pattern?"

Ma Lisa told the old madman about the patterns and changes of the headless clay figures he had talked about.

The latter pondered and said, "Even if you didn't lie to me, then the clay statue you said couldn't be the idol of Master Zu." The real idol motif is on the base, not the neck. Before using spells such as Yin Yang Eye and Tianyan Tong, the two patterns are indeed the same, and both are black figures accepting people's bows.

But you said that after you used the Sky Eye Pass, you saw the kneeling person fall to the ground, and a black mist came out of his body and was absorbed by the black figure. It's different from a god idol.

After the pattern of the fairy base changes, it is the black figure guarding the crowd behind him, fighting with demons and monsters. Xu Jiao only saw the pattern before the change, so he ...... I think you might be mistaken. "The old madman didn't go mad because he didn't find the idol, he thought he suppressed the demons in his heart.

Ma Li nodded and said, "But this clay statue and the god statue have the same pattern, is there any connection?" I asked Mai Wu and Ge Shengjie, but unfortunately they didn't know the meaning of the clay pattern. Or let's go back to the backyard and see if there are any clues. ”

Ma Kasa walked to the backyard, only to find the old madman still in the main hall. He was curious: "Old madman, what's wrong with you?" ”

The old madman hesitated for a moment and said, "This hall is very similar to the Shenxiao Yuqing Palace, and a side hall that was newly built later. ”

"Like?"

"Whether it's decorative objects, or frescoes, and ......," the old madman walked up to a pillar, pointed to the base of the pillar, and said, "including the artificial notch in this base." ”

"Did the decorator accidentally break it?" Mahata looked at the gap and saw that there was nothing special.

The old madman shook his head and said, "Go and see if the other three pillars are bases, and see if there is the same gap." ”
