The three of them stopped talking, and walked intently down the stairs towards the cliff above.

To be honest, walking on this meter-wide step, next to the bottomless abyss, and the mountain wind blowing from above, I was still a little frightened.

But fortunately, this suspended staircase is not too long, and after a few hundred steps, you will come to a dirt platform.

At this time, the composition of the mountain wall changed from rock to loess, and in front of everyone was a semi-enclosed earth cave that was obliquely upward.

It is said to be semi-encircled, because some places on the side of the cliff have been weathered and broken off one by one.

To use an apt analogy, it is like a piece of animal bone facing upwards, with a piece of ribs on the outside, and every time it passes, there is a hollow place.

Anyway, it was much stronger than the dangling steps I had just taken, and I immediately took a step up it.

The dirty Taoist priest whispered from behind, "County Lord, look, let's get it right, once we arrive at this kind of place that seems to be safer, Bing Shao's spirit is much bigger." ”

I wanted to turn around and say a few words to him, but when I turned my head, I felt stared at by something on the rock wall on the left, and it was a pair of white eyes.

Instantly, his body tensed, and he pointed in that direction with the silver spear, but when he looked closely, it was not a living thing, but a Buddha statue carved on the rock wall.

Because of the age, the color in the eyes of the Buddha statue has been blown away by the wind and sand, revealing the whites of the eyes.

As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, the dirty Taoist priest walked over from the side and patted me on the shoulder, "Don't be too nervous, it's just a Buddha statue, you have to calm down." ”

I wanted to slap him at the time, and I usually just talk about it, but now Miss Guo is still on the side, and I don't know how to save face.

But he didn't give me the chance, and went straight into the half-enclosed dirt passage.

A soft little hand held my right hand from behind, and Guo Lianyue's voice came, "Don't be too persistent, let's continue to go up, Long Daochang is this character." ”

I nodded, exhaled, and followed her into the passage ahead.

As soon as I entered, there was a smell of blood that was stronger than in the cave below, and if it weren't for the half-open earthen walls on the right that were poured in from time to time, the smell would have been stronger.

On the wall on the left side of the passage against the mountain wall are carved one after another Buddha statues, much more elaborate than the one just seen on the mountain wall.

Most of them were carved into a look of rage, and their bodies turned upwards at a forty-five degree angle.

The dirty Taoist priest stood in front of a Buddha statue in front of him, sniffed it a few times with his nose, then turned his head and said, "This smell, this color, is blood oil slurry again!" ”

"And if you look closely, the slurry on these Buddha statues is obviously much thicker than the words in the cave, this should be some kind of Buddhist defensive magic circle."

I held my breath and stood closer, only to see that a layer of dark red juice had been poured on the body of each Buddha statue, especially the eyes on the Buddha's head and the heavenly spirit were almost covered with the fragments of internal organs. ”

Guo Lianyue covered her nose and walked up, looked at it and retreated to the back, "The Buddha statues all communicate with the heavens with their heavenly spirits and eyes, and they should have a deep meaning in doing this." ”

After listening to her explanation, I said, "That old ghost woman is probably sealing the mana of these Buddha statues, she should be attacking the old monk, we have to hurry."

The dirty Taoist's expression also became serious, and he walked in front with the Qinglong Sword, but now his steps were much faster than just now, and he was obviously worried about the old monk.

To be honest, in addition to this strong smell of blood, this passage is also easy to walk, not to mention that it is twice as wide as the stone steps just now, and the slope is much easier.

After traveling for about a while, the Dragon Daoist suddenly stopped again.

He turned around and pointed to a collapsed Buddha statue in front of him, and I followed the direction of his finger to see several dried corpses sitting behind the Buddha statue, their stomachs thrown away, their heads drooping.

They were all bald, and they still had a few ring scars on the top of their heads, but they looked like they had been dead for a long time.

Guo Lianyue came to my side at this time, looked ahead, and whispered, "Why don't you leave?" Isn't it just a few dead people, maybe they were killed by Jin Bing. ”

I put my index finger to my lips, made a silent gesture, and grabbed a small clod of dirt from the ground next to me and threw it at several corpses.

As soon as the clod of dirt hit the ground, the nearest corpse suddenly lunged forward, pinched the clod with its rotting claws, and sent it directly to its mouth.

The corpse glanced over again with its eyeless sockets, and then returned to the same position it had sat in place.

It's the kind of living corpse in the General's Palace! Sure enough, it was the old ghost woman's means, and she actually refined these dead monks into this kind of thing, and put them here to look at the way back.

The dirty priest pointed at me and then at the living corpse, which basically meant that the living corpse had been distributed to me.

He suddenly turned around, reached out and plucked a few hairs from my head, and before I could cry out in pain, he took out three yellow talismans from his bosom and pressed them on each of them.

I didn't see any tricks from the dirty Taoist priest, and those few hairs were automatically wrapped around the yellow talisman, and then they were automatically folded into three yellow paper figures at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The three minions looked at the dirty Taoist priest as if waiting for an order.

With a reluctant expression, he slashed his fingers with his swarthy nails, spilling three drops of blood into the Minion's body.

As if gaining momentum, a few Minions rounded the corner in front of them and ran towards the living corpses.

The living corpse didn't move at first, only to suddenly lunge at the Minions as they ran past them.

But the Minions were quite nimble, jumping straight forward and jumping out of their chests.

Taking advantage of the attention of several living corpses, the dirty Taoist priest and I jumped forward at the same time, flipped out from above the collapsed Buddha statue, and jumped at the living corpses.

The cyan sword in the priest's hand danced with a dazzling blue light, and I rushed out from the other side, picked up the spear and poked at the nearest living corpse.

Its attention was so focused on the minion that it hadn't noticed me jumping from behind.

With a soft 'poof' sound, the spear passed directly through the back of the head of the living corpse, and the shriveled body instantly lost power and fell down.

At this time, I looked up again, and I saw another living corpse slashed by the blue sword through the neck, and the head rolled down the cyan trajectory.

In the end, the one finally realized that something was wrong, and reflexively pounced back, but was kicked in the chest by the Taoist priest who had already arrived at his side, and fell backwards.
