"Let's go in, let's live in the corner of the courtyard, it's good if you don't go in," Han Yaolu reluctantly squeezed out a smile and proposed. "The red master must be afraid that we are dependent, so he took the initiative to leave, just taking care of us in secret"

"It must be," Guo Zixuan also nodded with a sad face.

Ma Jingxuan worked hard to stabilize her mind, and there was no red master to rely on. Fears and uneasiness kept coming over her.

But as the team leader, if she panics at this time, then the whole team will be in chaos.

"It should be like this, we can concentrate on solving the task, since the sect has assigned us this task, it means that we can solve it alone. Just be careful. ”

"Senior sister is right. ”

Guo Zixuan hurriedly agreed.

"Let's get on fire, and then set up the tent. ”

A few people entered the Taoist temple and began to get busy first.

Lin Xin walked alone in the gloomy forest, looking around, everywhere was the same, the mountains and forests were continuous, deep and cold.

The sky was getting darker, and the only light was the white light of the clouds left in the sky after the sun had completely set.

Lin Xin walked slowly in the forest, his feet stepping on the thick fallen leaves, making a clattering sound. There seems to be branches or dry leaves that have been trampled to pieces.

Just now he suddenly felt as if someone was rushing by, the sound movement was very small, Ma Jingxuan and the three of them couldn't hear it, and he just wanted to act alone, lest Ma Jingxuan rely too much on him and couldn't really face the mission events independently. That's why I got up and left instantly.

Unexpectedly, after coming out, he still didn't see any figures.

After going around the Taoist temple, Lin Xin found a large tree trunk behind the Taoist temple. There seem to be traces of rope binding.

The rest of the matter was nothing unusual.

He simply jumped up slightly, landed on a branch of a large tree, cleaned up the lower branch, meditated cross-legged, and continued to grope for the nine wounds of eternal sleep.

Soon after.

There was a faint sound of a bonfire burning in the Taoist temple, as well as the subtle sound of Ma Jingxuan and the three of them talking.

Lin Xin could also detect their movements with his keen five senses when he closed his eyes.

It's getting late. The branch of the tree where he sat was completely dark, and there was no light.

In addition to a few stars in the sky, even the moon was tightly obscured by thick clouds. Only a faint glimmer could be seen throughout the woods, and it was vague.

I don't know how long it took, there was no longer a sound from the campfire, and Lin Xin slowly opened his eyes.

The branch of the tree where he sat was considered high, and when he looked into the Taoist temple, he could vaguely see the top part of the flame of the campfire.

At this time, there was no one by the fire, but the fire was burning very strongly. The people all seemed to be resting in their respective three tents. On the side, sprinkled some anti-beast medicine powder. There was also a ring of silk threads hung with rune paper surrounding the tent.

"It's well prepared. Nodding approvingly, Lin Xin was about to get up and go down to check it.

But suddenly he felt a numbness in the skin on his body, and he looked under the tree sharply.

I saw a vague figure in white under the tree, looking up at him, those somewhat bulging eyes staring straight at him, as if the dark shadows had no hidden effect at all.

In the blink of an eye, the man vanished in an instant, as if it had just been a hallucination.

Lin Xin's face was expressionless. Sensing the movement around him carefully, he couldn't feel the slightest living thing approaching.

"Something interesting. ”

He gently dropped the tree. Look around.

There was no trace of human activity, only a line of footprints left by himself under the woods.

He took out a high-level resentment talisman, and the rune paper did not move.

"No resentment, no resentment. ”

With a deep groan, he quickly turned his gaze to the Taoist temple.

This meditation does not seem to be as simple as the mission says.

"Monster monster? There's a monster hidden here, and there are traces of that thing's activity all around. It's just that guy just now."

He recalled the figure just now.

It was white, blurry, with very little hair, and the rest of the stool could not see anything clearly.

"Definitely not a monster"

With a slight leap, he plunged into the Taoist temple. Silently dotted on the moss-covered stone bricks.

If you look around, it looks like a small garden. A few hoes and showers were set aside, and it seemed that there were people who planted flowers here not so long ago.

On the right is a black Taoist cloister, and on the left is a small row of small houses like firewood houses.

There was also a well in the middle yard, and a wooden barrel was crooked on the side.

Lin Xin walked to the side of the barrel, squatted down and touched the edge of the barrel, it was cold and cold, and it was a little rough to the touch, which was the unique hard and tough feel of wood. The main thing is that it is not wet.

I walked to the mouth of the well and looked inside, and there was nothing in it.

Syllable.

Suddenly, in the darkness of the corridor, there was the sound of something falling on the board.

Lin Xin looked up, but saw nothing. A thick layer of dust slowly accumulated on the wooden floor, and with his eyesight, he could clearly see that not to mention the footprints on it, even the insect marks could not be seen.

Slowly putting his hand on the safflower sword, Lin Xin suddenly thought again, this is the task of the little guy, and he can't take the initiative to make a move.

With a deep groan, he let go of the safflower sword and walked straight towards the pitch-black corridor.

Soon, I walked to the entrance of the cloister, and it was pitch black inside, and there was no light.

He took out a fire fold, lit it with a snort, and then took out the prepared torch and lit it.

Suddenly, a yellow flame ignited, illuminating most of the passages in the cloister.

Looking ahead in the light of the fire, at the end of the cloister was a half-opened wooden door. The door shook in the breeze, giving the illusion that someone had just passed.

Holding the torch, Lin Xin slowly walked into the corridor, and soon arrived in front of the door, pulling it gently.

“？！”

The door shook slightly, and it didn't open!

Lin Xin was stunned for a moment, he obviously felt that someone was on the other side of the door, and he was also pulling the door hard, just enough to offset the force with him, so that the door could not be opened at all.

Squeak crunch

The door shook under two forces, and the man inside seemed to be frantically trying to close the door. Lin Xin wanted to pull it apart completely.

Let go.

The power on the other side of the wooden door disappeared at the same time.

Lin Xin was a little surprised. looked at the wooden door, and didn't plan to go in, after all, this Taoist temple is the task of the little chubby girl, and if he figure it out, he won't be able to achieve the purpose of letting the little chubby girl practice.

Returning to the Taoist temple, he found another big tree and went up to continue to rest.

Until dawn. The crisp bird calls became more and more frequent, and he slowly woke up.

There was a faint movement from the three little ones in the Taoist temple, as if they were going to get up and explore the entire Taoist temple.

Lin Xin fell lightly and followed behind them.

Entering the gate of the Taoist temple, I saw them enter the main hall of the mutilated idol, and then muttered to each other, and went separately to investigate the situation.

After the others left, Lin Xin walked to the main hall and looked up at the strange statue that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"Four-armed demon god?"

He recognized the idol. It's not a true monarch, but one of the demon gods of the demon clan.

"In other words, this is not a Taoist temple for human beings at all, but for the demon race. He carefully checked the incense candles used in the main hall, and sure enough, they were all lilac, and only the demon clan would use lilac incense candles to worship the gods.

"Since it is a real person, the little demon will not hide. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.

Lin Xin turned around and saw behind him. At the entrance of the main hall stood a beautiful woman in a pink petal dress, holding a red oil-paper umbrella. With long hair hanging down his waist, he looked at himself quietly.

"Who are you?"

The woman smiled, walked in with an umbrella, and bowed slightly to Lin Xin face-to-face.

"The little girl Gong Shou is merciful, and she has been practicing here for more than 400 years. ”

"Isn't this place like something that a mere demon can create?" Lin Xin said lightly.

"A real person knows what to do. The woman who called herself Gong Shou Ren nodded. "This was originally a small Taoist temple dedicated to the demon god Niangniang, but one day it was an uninvited guest. Since that day, this place has been decaying day by day, and the little demons in the view have died and scattered. Until now. ”

"As for the abnormal state here, it was originally because of such a phenomenon here that a Taoist temple was built here. Miyamori explained in a low voice.

"What anomaly?"

Gong Shouren hesitated.

"Since the real person asked. The little woman will take you to see it. Anyway, most of the people in the vicinity know about this matter, but no one wants to come over and wade into this troubled water. ”

"Oh?" Lin Xinyiqi, since he knew it, he didn't want to come yet, it seemed that it was really a bit tricky.

"You take me to see first. ”

The woman nodded hurriedly.

"Please come with me. ”

She took Lin Xin out of the Taoist temple, walked hundreds of meters along the mountain path, and soon saw an extremely thick, but unusually short strange tree.

The strange tree grew by a silvery stream, and was covered with many strange tumors, and its bark was full of coarse granular protrusions, and it looked very old.

"Grandpa Tree, I brought a real person over to take a look. Gong Shouren shouted softly at the strange tree.

Burst!

A puff of smoke burst from the ground, and the white smoke quickly cleared, revealing an old man with a white beard on crutches.

The old man has a big bag on his forehead, he looks childish, he has a long life, and he doesn't know how many years he has lived.

"I've seen fellow Daoists. The old man waved at Lin Xin slightly.

Lin Xin hurriedly returned the salute.

"Daoyou, but the mountain god who lives in this mountain?"

There are elves in the mountains, painting the ground as a prison, and there are not a few who have been operating for many years, and finally achieving the mountain gods.

Some of the mountain gods are yin spirits, and some are demons, all of them are righteous ways to accumulate the aura of heaven and earth, and never kill, so that they can be achieved. Therefore, most of them are righteous people.

"Exactly. The old man nodded, "Old Murong Ci." It has been more than 300 years since he became a mountain god, and it was originally an old tree in this mountain. ”

"Under the saffron, protect a descendant to come. Lin Xin also introduced himself.

"And it came to pass that there is a monster here called Sahan, which is here all year round to make waves and disturb living beings. Murong Ci sighed and said, "I won't tell you, it won't be long before the old man becomes a mountain god, and the Taoist may not be as strong as the Taoist friend, when he encounters this matter, he naturally solves it, but he doesn't want to, there is a big demon behind Sahan, who lives in the Snake Cave in the Dustless Mountain." And then" (To be continued.) )
