When the sun was in the sky, I saw the tension in front of the Jizo Temple, and there was a murderous and tense atmosphere.

Fan Tianjiu, who was holding the Zhenkun Divine Mourning Stick, and the Qingmang Demon Beast stood facing each other, ignoring each other angrily, and the battle was about to break out.

"Whew——!"

Finally, the demon beast of the town temple couldn't hold it back, roared, jumped up and pounced on Fan Tianjiu in front of him!

"Haha——! good time!"

Fan Tianjiu laughed when he saw the demon beast of the town temple flying over, jumped up with a bang, and dodged the fierce pounce of the demon beast.

Then, I saw Fan Tianjiu raise the Zhenkun Divine Mourning Stick in his hand high, aiming at the demon beast and shouting-

"Evil beasts——! eat the Ninth Master's stick!"

After saying that, he waved the magic rod and smashed it towards the top of the demon beast's head at a gallop-

"When ——!"

I only heard a sound like a bell ringing, and Fan Tianjiu's magic stick hit the demon beast and was bounced off in an instant, and it shocked Fan Tianjiu's mouth numb.

"I'm ——! hard at wiping!"

Seeing that the texture of the demon beast was so hard that even the Zhenkun Divine Mourning Stick could not be broken, Fan Tianjiu suddenly frowned, and looked at the intact body of the demon beast and said in surprise.

But the demon beast of the town temple did not give Fan Tianjiu a chance to breathe.

Receiving his blow, the Zhensi Demon Beast suddenly became even more furious, turned around suddenly, opened its bloody mouth again, and bit Fan Tianjiu.

"Huh, you want to bite me, dreaming——!"

Looking at the oncoming blood basin mouth, Fan Tianjiu smiled calmly.

Then, I saw Fan Tianjiu leap backwards, dodging the oncoming fierce fangs, while holding the Divine Mourning Stick with his backhand, aiming at the mouth of the demon beast, and then stabbing the Divine Mourning Stick in his hand like lightning!

"I poke ——!"

As soon as the words fell, I only heard a pop, and the body of the rod that flashed with thunderous green light instantly pierced into the mouth of the demon beast!

"Whew——!"

Immediately after, he heard the demon beast howl, and was instantly knocked away as if it had been struck by a thunderbolt.

Then, I saw that the demon beast fluttered on the ground several times like a rolling gourd, before it stood firm more than a dozen steps away from Fan Tianjiu, and looked at Fan Tianjiu with angry eyes.

"Hehe, it seems that your beast's mouth is not as hard as your skin......"

Fan Tianjiu carried the mourning stick with his backhand, landed easily, looked at the demon beast of the town temple not far away, and sneered.

"Soul Hook ——!"

At this moment, with a loud shout, I saw a silver dragon-like rope chain flying out from the side, passing through the lower abdomen of the Zhensi Demon Beast with lightning speed, and instantly binding its four legs.

"Whew——!"

The demon beast of Zhensi hadn't reacted yet, but when he saw the soul hook rope under his feet, it suddenly tightened hard, and the demon beast immediately let out a wail on all fours, and fell heavily on the ground reflexively.

"Haha——! Anzi!

Seeing that the demon beast was bound by the rope chain, Fan Tianjiu was immediately overjoyed, and gave a thumbs up to Si Bi'an, who was standing at the opposite corner, and praised him.

"Hehe, Brother Jiu, you're welcome......"

Si Bi'an smiled modestly at Fan Tianjiu as he firmly tied the soul hook rope in his hand to the tree beside him.

"Grandma~ I've been here for almost four months, and I've been attending classes in this temple almost every day, and I never thought that this stone statue would be able to live ......"

Fan Tianjiu muttered while carrying the mourning stick, walked to the statue like a dog, and looked at it carefully, then turned his head and said:

"Hey, Sister Lan, what did you just take from the temple, why did this guy ......?"

Fan Tianjiu's words hadn't finished asking, but when he turned around, he found that Ji Xuelan's figure was no longer behind him.

So Fan Tianjiu frowned and wondered:

"Hmm, what about Sister Lan, why is there no one?"

"I don't know, I just saw her like ...... Ahh

Before Si Bi'an's words were finished, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed behind Fan Tianjiu and screamed.

"Whew——!"

At this moment, only to hear an angry roar, Fan Tianjiu saw a black shadow suddenly appear on the ground.

Fan Tianjiu was shocked when he saw this, and instinctively jumped and did a backflip backwards!

"Puff ——!"

With a muffled sound, the dust settled, and I saw that a demon beast appeared in the place where Fan Tianjiu was originally standing, and Fan Tianjiu fixed his eyes to see that it was the statue of the god of the town temple that was originally standing on the right side of the Jizowang Temple.

"Why did I wipe it again?!"

Fan Tianjiu was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly threw up the mourning stick again, preparing to fight again.

"Whew——!"

"Nine Shadows Refining Qi!Three Souls Channeling Spirits—— Tranquility Fu Fixing Souls!"

Just when the newly appeared demon beast roared, and was about to launch an attack on Fan Tianjiu.

I heard a loud shout, and a yellow talisman full of incantations suddenly flew out and was properly attached to the forehead of the demon beast.

And with the yellow talisman pasted, the demon beast suddenly looked like a machine that had been cut off from electricity, and the green light in its eyes disappeared instantly, and then it fell to the ground with a pop.

Fan Tianjiu, who was in danger, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his head to look, only to see Mu Tiezhu and Ji Xuelan appear at the intersection together, looking at everything that happened in front of the temple with a shocked face.

"Brother Zhu——! Sister Lan ——!"

When Fan Tianjiu saw the great joy, he hurriedly put the mourning stick on his shoulder, ran to the two of them, looked at Ji Xuelan and grinned, and said:

"Haha~ Sister Lan, I said why did you suddenly disappear, it turned out that you went to move the rescuers!"

"What? Rescuer, what rescuer?"

Ji Xuelan frowned when she heard this, and looked at Fan Tianjiudao with a puzzled face.

"Huh, didn't you call Brother Zhu over......"

"Hmm...... This truth is the mount of the Bodhisattva King of the Earth, and he can know the good and evil of the human heart.

And this corpse meal is the watchdog of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, who likes to eat chickens and dogs......"

Before Fan Tianjiu finished speaking, he saw that Mu Tiezhu had already turned around at the gate of the temple, and then returned to Fan Tianjiu's side, looked at him and said with a wicked smile:

"These two filthy earth beast puppets are the temple protection mechanism of this temple, and they will not be triggered easily, unless someone tries to steal the valuables in the temple, so ......

Hehe~ Stinky boy, don't you hurry up and confess, what treasure did you steal from this temple? Why did the Diting and corpse meal of this town temple attack you?"

"No, Brother Zhu, you got it wrong——!

When Fan Tianjiu heard this, he hurriedly denied it loudly, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Ji Xuelan next to him and said:

"Brother Zhu, it's not me who this Zhensi demon beast wants to deal with, the two of them are going for Sister Lan! I fought these two monsters to protect her!"

"What? What the hell are you talking about?"

Ji Xuelan was stunned when she heard this, and said coldly inexplicably.

"Hey, Sister Lan, how can you say that?!"

Fan Tianjiu looked at Ji Xuelan when he heard this, frowned, and said aggrievedly:

"Sister Lan, these two monsters suddenly attacked us because you took the big book from the temple just now. Don't deny it!"

"What? You said I just took the book from the temple?

That's nonsense! I've been with the bar head all the time, how can I come here to steal books?"

When Ji Xuelan heard this, she was immediately displeased.

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Fan Tianjiu Wenyan was stunned for a moment.

"It's true. ”

Hearing this, Mu Tiezhu turned around and came to Fan Tianjiu, looked at him and said solemnly:

"Just now I went to Naihe Street to settle the foreign guests, and I happened to meet Captain Ji.

So we had dinner together at the Shelai Restaurant and talked about something by the way. During this period, Captain Ji has been with me, and it is impossible for her to come here. ”

"This, this ......"

Si Bi'an was also stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to Fan Tianjiu and asked:

"Brother Jiu, who did we meet just now?"

And hearing Si Bi'an say this, Ji Xuelan suddenly frowned, looked at Si Bi'an and said coldly:

"Xiao An, where did she run to?"

"That...... Just now, Brother Jiu and I were fighting with these two demon beasts, and we didn't pay much attention to her, only vaguely remembering that she seemed to be ......"

Speaking of this, Si Bi'an frowned and looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He pointed to a small path next to Jizoo Temple and said:

"I think she seems to have run over there——!"

Hearing this, Ji Xuelan turned her head to look at the path, and saw a series of shallow footprints extending into the grass of the path.

So Ji Xuelan frowned and said coldly:

"Chasing ——!"

After speaking, Ji Xuelan jumped and chased in the direction of the path. Seeing this, Mu Tiezhu and the three of them hurriedly followed......

..................

The night was like ink, and I saw Ji Xuelan and the four of them holding torches, following the footprints from the Jizowang Temple all the way to the outside of the Ghost King's Mausoleum, and in a blink of an eye, they came to the outer edge of the Santu Forest.

"Stop! Ahead is the forbidden place of the statue of the Peacock King! Idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Seeing that he was about to pass through the three-way forest, two black and white impermanence armed with weapons suddenly jumped out of the dense forest on both sides, blocking the way of the four of them.

"Don't be nervous, it's me!"

Mu Tiezhu looked at them and shook his torch in front of his face as he spoke.

"Oh, it's Captain Mu! what's wrong with you......"

Seeing that it was Mu Tiezhu, the two impermanent guards immediately relaxed.

But before he finished speaking, one of the Impermanence Guards caught a glimpse of Ji Xuelan beside Mu Tiezhu. So his eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he said in surprise:

"Huh, Captain Ji, when did you come out?"

Ji Xuelan's face suddenly turned cold when she heard this, and she looked at them and said suspiciously:

"Why? You saw me just go in?"

"That's right, didn't you tell us that the Ghost King Contest is about to start, and you need to check the statue of the Peacock King to ensure the absolute safety of the Ghost King Tomb?

And then I'll let you in, when are you coming out?"

The impermanent guard looked at Ji Xuelan in front of him and wondered.

"Oops! The Peacock King is in danger! Get in on ——!"

Mu Tiezhu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly reached out to push away the impermanent guard in front of him, and then rushed into the forbidden area of the idol.

In a blink of an eye, everyone ran to the foot of the majestic and towering Peacock King statue under the leadership of Mu Tiezhu.

As soon as Mu Tiezhu arrived at his destination, he immediately jumped onto the statue of King Ming and began to carefully inspect the statue all over his body.

After a long time, Mu Tiezhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, jumped back to the ground from the statue, and sighed:

"Whew...... It's dangerous, it's dangerous, the statue is intact. ”

"Hmm, Sister Lan, Brother Zhu, come over here, see what this is?"

At this moment, I saw Si Bi'an pick up something from the grass next to him and call them over.

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly ran to Si Bi'an's side, and then looked at him with a torch, and found that what he was holding in his hand was actually a painted skin!

And if you look closely at the appearance of this painting skin, you can find that it is exactly the same as Ji Xuelan.

"Well, this should be the ...... left by the thief."

Ji Xuelan took the painting skin and weighed it, then raised her head, looked at the valley of the Ghost King's Mausoleum with a thousand walls above her head, frowned and said suspiciously:

“...... Did he escape from here?"

"Huh, escape from here?"

Fan Tianjiu was stunned when he heard this, looked up at the valley of the Ghost King's Mausoleum that could not be seen at a glance above his head, and said in disbelief:

"How did he escape when I wiped ——! so high?"

"There's nothing surprising about it, as long as you know how to navigate the fog, it's not difficult to fly out of this valley......"

Mu Tiezhu frowned when he heard this, came to Ji Xuelan and looked at the painting skin in her hand, and said suspiciously:

"The Peacock King seems to be preventing entry and exit, how did this thief escape...... Oddly enough, how did he get in?"

"Well, Brother Zhu, could this guy be disguised as a member of the contestants, and followed the three teams from other schools this morning to sneak in through the ghost gate?"

Fan Tianjiu thought about it when he heard this, and guessed.

"No, this can't be, the ghost door has long been plastered with the soul reading forbidden spell refined by Captain Luo.

Any person from outside the school who has not been certified by the school committee will be identified once they pass through the ghost gate, and thus will be shielded from the door by a charm. ”

Mu Tiezhu explained when he heard this.

"Well, it's possible that this thief was in the middle of the school in the first place......"

Ji Xuelan pondered for a moment, turned to Mu Tiezhu and said:

"Barhead, do you remember the last time you were scared to death by the Chilling Cicada Gu in Yu?

We always thought that all of them had been wiped out by the Gu Ancestors, but could that just be a trick used by the Ten Fierce Demons to make us take our guard lightly and let our guard down?"

"Are you saying that the mole may have been lurking in the school all the time without us noticing? Well, it's possible.

But last time, all the students above the second grade had already been taken to the capital and were investigated.

If there is an inner ghost, it can only be among the teachers who stay in school and those freshmen in the first grade...... Huh?"

Just as Mu Tiezhu was frowning and analyzing, he saw that his eyes suddenly lit up, and he knelt on the ground to carefully check the footprints on the ground.

"What's wrong?

"Well, these footprints are already very dry, they don't look like they are newly stepped on......"

Mu Tiezhu picked up a little soil from the footprints on the ground, rubbed it in his hands, then looked around the statue, and suddenly said:

"No, these footprints were deliberately stepped on by the thieves to confuse us, to make us think that he had escaped from school. ”

"So, there's a good chance this thief is still in school?"

When Ji Xuelan heard this, her eyebrows immediately curled, and she hurriedly turned around and ordered Fan Si and the others:

"Quick——! let's take a closer look around here to see if there's any other mark. ”

"Good ——!"

Hearing this, Fan Si and the others turned around and scattered, holding torches, and began to search carefully in the grass around the idol.

After a while, I saw Fan Tianjiu's eyes light up, staring at the ground and shouting-

"Found ——!"
