Chapter 21: The Ruined Temple
This town doesn't look very big from the outside, but in fact, it's quite deep and wide, and the more you go inside, the thicker the fog becomes, much wider than the kind of ordinary town that you can see at a glance, but Xu Ming seems to know the situation here very well, and he is familiar with the road, and he doesn't stop all the way. He was so calm, but because of the environment, I was hesitant, and I kept looking back, and saw that the confrontation at the entrance of the town had reached a stalemate, and I was ready to roll up my sleeves and start drying.
There are so many bull heads, just that bald old man to carry it, if he can withstand it, wouldn't it be even better than Tao Jinhong?
My mind was in turmoil, but Xu Ming didn't care at all, walking quickly, and occasionally there would be one or two pedestrians in the alleyway, but they seemed to ignore us, showing that Xu Ming gave me a very good mask. I was still a little worried, and continued to ask Xu Ming, saying that those bull heads really won't rush in? Their strength is very strong, and it is difficult to deal with any of them, such a large group, how can this town withstand their impact?
Hearing my words, Xu Ming stopped, turned to look at me, and paused for a moment before he said in surprise: "Then what do you mean, you have already fought with that soul hunter?" ”
I nodded, and said that just now in the forest, a cow's head was frozen, and it is estimated that it will not survive.
Xu Ming looked me up and down in disbelief, I saw that his performance was exaggerated, a little depressed, what is the situation, I am not a giant panda. Xu Ming breathed a long sigh of relief and said Lu Zuo, I really convinced you, let me tell you the truth, this ghost town is a place opened up by the ancient powers to set up a formation here, once those soul hunters come in, their strength plummets, and they can't even guarantee survival, this is why that old man dares to slash immediately, but in the wild, each of those guys can have the strength of a first-class master in the world, and you can do it, which means that you ......
He let out a long sigh, a battered emotion overflowing, and instead of paying attention to me, he continued to lead the way.
I heard Xu Ming say that there was a formation guard here, but I also relaxed, thinking that there was a formation guard, and I didn't have to face the bull head composed of countless demon insects, the pressure on my heart was no longer heavy, and my steps were much brisker, and soon we walked a long way, and arrived at a five-story civil structure outside the high-rise building, which is a landmark building in the ghost town, I thought it was here, but I felt a tense muscle under Xu Ming's clothes, and then turned back and urged me: "Go faster!" ”
As he spoke, he was still muttering something in his mouth, and he wanted to go in another direction around here, but at this moment, a slender figure stopped him: "Stop, Xu Ming, where are you going?" ”
That person is also wearing the same mask as us, but this figure is very good, and my memory has always been good, I can hear it from this loud voice, this is the evil spirit sect "Sister Chi Ling" with the right envoy Luo Feiyu and called "Evil Spirit Shuangshu", a star demon from Taiwan. After confirming the identity, I also deliberately looked at her lower abdomen, when the evil spirit altar was fighting, she was pierced through the abdomen by Huang Chen Qujun's stone sword, and now it seems that the damage to her is not as great as I imagined.
To be able to save the Star Demon in time for that kind of appearance, it can be thought that the Natal Golden Silkworm Gu of the Little Buddha is not only big, but also has other effects.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be a little more curious about the little Buddha who had never had a road surface, and some expectations were in my heart, thinking that if I could find the little Buddha here and kill him, then there would be no need to look around so hard. But I soon extinguished this thought, because not to mention me, it was Tao Jinhong, and without the help of the rest of the people, I was afraid that I would be drowned alive by the strength of the Evil Spirit Sect here.
There are indeed 10,000 enemies in this world, but it also depends on who his opponent is.
Facing the Star Demon's questioning, Xu Ming said lightly: "I plan to go to the grandmother's temple in the west to do a channeling, what's the matter, what do you have to say, Lord Star Demon?" The Star Demon glanced at Xu Ming, then turned his head to look at me, his expressionless face was like mahjong, and then asked, "Who is this person, why haven't I felt his breath?" ”
The Star Demon recognizes people by his breath, and I have a Escape Ring to restrain all my breath, just like an ordinary person, with shallow strength, so the Star Demon didn't recognize me as the guy who gave the Evil Spirit Sect a headache. Xu Ming didn't stay long, just replied simply, saying that this is my friend.
Facing Xu Ming's faint sense of distance, the star demon snorted coldly, saying Friend? You Xu Ming is full of confusion here, but for the safety of the little Buddha, I still have to check it.
As she spoke, she reached over and grabbed my mask, and just as her slender white fingers were about to touch my mask, I took a step back to avoid her grasp. The Star Demon was a little surprised by his miss, and was about to gather strength to attack again, but at this time, Xu Ming directly blocked in front of me, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Lin, the news that the little Buddha is here is top secret, you must know that the power of the ghost town in the Dao is not only us, the Tianshan Shenchi Palace, the Penglai Island in the East China Sea, and even the remnants of the Miaojiang Ten Thousand Poison Caves, as well as those in the town, none of them is worse than the little Buddha, if it really makes trouble, can you bear the responsibility?" ”
Xu Ming's status in the Evil Spirit Sect is not high, but I don't know what Lu Dao is, at this moment, he is not only on an equal footing with the Twelve Demon Stars, but even faintly higher than them in terms of the right to speak, the Star Demon was warned by Xu Ming, his eyes behind the mask rolled for a while, and then he snorted, put down a sentence, and said Let's see, the person left.
I didn't know how to let people, watching the back of the star demon disappear into the darkness, knowing that Xu Ming was indeed doing his best to protect me, and sincerely said thank you, Xu Ming nodded slightly, and didn't say anything, but took me to continue to hurry.
After walking for a long time, the surrounding buildings are getting fewer and fewer, and in the distance there is a very large outline, it looks like a memorial arch, Xu Ming sped up his speed, his feet did not touch the ground, he ran all the way, and soon came to this side, and saw that it was indeed a traditional old archway of more than ten meters high, brick and wood structure, looking very much the style of the ghost city of Xudu, and behind the archway, a temple appeared out of thin air on a flat ground, and the archway was extremely incommensurate with the temple was very simple, although it was not crumbling, But no matter how you look at it, it feels like a dangerous building.
The hall is not big, a main hall, two side rooms, and a small courtyard at the back, Xu Ming walked to the front of the hall, put his hands together and prayed, and soon the door full of holes opened, and Xu Ming led me, and the two of them walked in slowly.
I looked around, there was really nothing to say about the main hall, there was dust and dilapidated arrangements everywhere, only the statue of the god above the main hall, and a few futons under the seat were relatively clean. After Xu Ming walked in, he kept bowing and waiting, making the atmosphere very heavy, and I didn't dare to say much, just looked at it a little, and then looked at the statue in front of me with my spare eyes - this is a golden statue of a goddess dressed in red silk, not beautiful, but with a kind face, which makes people feel as kind as their grandmother.
We were waiting for a cup of tea, when there was a sudden squeaky sound on the left, and then an old woman on crutches came tremblingly, saw us, showed a kind and peaceful smile, and greeted Xu Ming: "Little Naruko, you haven't come here for a while, how do you remember to find your grandmother and me this time?" ”
While greeting Xu Ming, she beckoned us to sit on the futon under the statue, I didn't dare to look closely, but after a quick glance, I always felt that this old woman was a little similar to the statue of the god in the temple, and at the same time, there seemed to be a feeling of familiarity for a long time. When she sat down, Xu Ming also took me to sit opposite the old woman, and then smiled respectfully: "Grandma, didn't I come to see you?" ”
"Look at me? I think you have something to ask me, tell me, is it because of the hill south of town, or something else? You should know that I don't want to meddle in these things, so don't ask too much! The wrinkles on the old woman's face stretched, and there was a cordiality in her words, which made me feel that there seemed to be a little bit of family affection between her and Xu Ming, and as for that mountain, could it be ......
Xu Ming got the warning of this kind old woman, and he also grinned, and said I know, I know, the previous thing grandma you have already given me a big face, and I am embarrassed to open this mouth again, but I came here this time because of this friend, he doesn't know why he suddenly sleepwalked here, if he can't go back for seven days, I'm afraid I can only stay here forever, so I also ask grandma for a favor.
Xu Ming pointed at me, and I, kneeling on the futon, immediately straightened up and let the kind old woman look at me.
The old woman on the other side glanced at me, and didn't think about it, so she shook her head, saying that he didn't have seven days, and if he couldn't go back after three days, he was afraid that this body would have already belonged to someone else. As she spoke, she put the middle finger of her right hand into her mouth, dipped a little saliva, wiped it into my left palm, and then closed her eyes and muttered a few words, suddenly her eyes opened suddenly, and she said sharply: "No, why are you?" ”
