Chapter 22: Guilty?

The moon hangs high and the stars shine brightly.

The moonlight poured down from the nine heavens like the Milky Way, dyeing the earth with bright colors.

However, at this point, it came to an abrupt end.

The fog in front of us is like a sea of clouds, and the moonlight cannot be soaked in here, and if you look at it from above, it looks like an island.

Xu Mo stood at the dividing line between fog and light, holding a long knife in his hand, with the Nine Heavens Bright Moon behind him, and in front of him it was like a hell cave.

Then, plunged headlong into it.

......

Xu Mo stared at the gravel road under his feet, the visibility in the fog was low, if he left this road, God knows where he would go.

Occasionally, when you look at both sides of the road, you can vaguely see a large open space, but it has long been overgrown with weeds, and only vague traces of cultivation remain, telling people that this was also a field in the past.

As I continued walking, a sudden Sanskrit sound came through the mist.

Xu Mo snorted coldly and left.

It only took a moment to emerge from the fog, and a quaint temple appeared before him.

"Huangfeng Temple"

The three big characters exude a golden light.

Xu Mo stepped forward, and just as he wanted to knock on the door, the door opened by itself, and a small novice walked out.

"The donor is looking for someone?"

The little novice looked kind, and if he ignored the tail behind his robe, he quickly retracted it.

"Exactly."

Xu Mo remained silent, pretending not to see anything.

"Donor, please come with me, the abbot has brought the person he is looking for to the main hall."

After saying that, the little novice turned to the side and got out of the way.

Xu Mo was a little surprised in his heart, did he know that I was coming?

Let's see what the hell is going on.

Huangfeng Temple is not big, there is a stupa in the courtyard, the two sides are the drum tower and the tower, the middle is the Tianwang Palace, and then the Daxiong Treasure Hall is behind.

The temple was silent at this time, except for a Sanskrit sound coming from behind.

Xu Mo followed behind Xiao Shami, looking at its tail amusedly.

It is estimated that this little novice has not been able to fully control the transformation technique not long ago, and the tail is hidden behind the robe very uncomfortable, and it is constantly swaying from side to side.

"If it doesn't work, just show it."

Xu Mo patted Xiao Shami's shoulder.

"Well, if it weren't for the king's orders not to be seen, I wouldn't hide it."

The little novice complained before he reacted, but saw that the man had already crossed it and entered the main hall.

The fox's eyes turned twice, and the little novice slipped away, and if the king knew about it, it would be discovered, but it would be punished.

......

"You are convicted."

As soon as Xu Mo entered the main hall, a question came, like a heavy hammer hitting his head.

"I... What is the crime? ”

"Huh? Zhou Ping, Yang Dahai, Shi Wan... Why are you all here? ”

Xu Mo was hit hard, and he vaguely saw that his brothers in the pioneer camp were there.

"You slaughter living beings, create and kill in vain, and you don't know your sin?"

Xu Mo looked at the high platform and saw a statue of the Buddha sitting upright, his right hand raised to his chest, his palm facing outward, and his five fingers naturally extended.

"You don't know your sin yet!"

Looking to the sides again, the eighteen Arhats raised their eyebrows and asked in unison.

"The villain is guilty."

How do you know your sins, and what sins do you know?

In Xu Mo's eyes, Zhou Ping confessed his guilt and knelt down one by one.

Am I really guilty?

"You want to achieve great things."

"Seek worldly rights."

"You, you want to be famous after you."

"Ask for the power of incense."

"You, you want the way to live forever."

"Seek immortality and immortality."

"Hmph, but I've seen through you."

"You are killing in vain, and you are hypocritical, what you want is cowardice and fear of death, and what you want is worldly fame and fortune!"

"You, guilty!"

If the mouth of the Buddha is like thunder, every word is like a thunderbolt, and Xu Mo is deafening when he listens.

Am I really guilty?

Xu Mo looked at the figures of the brothers in front of him, his eyes began to become confused, and the long knife in his hand was slowly put down.

I shouldn't be aggressive.

I shouldn't have killed prisoners indiscriminately.

I shouldn't be trying to live forever.

I have...

Just as Xu Mo was about to fall into the illusion and couldn't extricate himself, black shadows emerged from the porcelain vase tied around his waist and stood behind him in a line.

Armor, long knives.

All the black shadows drew their swords at the same time, and slashed in the void.

Although the number of black shadows was less than ten, this sword still exuded an aura of thousands of troops.

Xu Mo suddenly came to his senses, lifted the long knife, and his eyes radiated a fine light.

I am not guilty.

I did not rush forward, but because I was unprepared for the enemy.

I didn't kill the prisoners wantonly, but I had to kill them.

I seek immortal law, not for immortality, but...

"Slay the demons!"

Xu Mo shouted angrily in his mouth, and then look at this hall, where is there his brother Robe, where is there still eighteen Arhats, and what is the Buddha.

Some are just dilapidated and shabby houses full of smoke and dust.

A fat fox with a fat head and big ears and a robe sat on a high platform in a fake appearance.

The positions of the eighteen Arhats on both sides are also full of foxes, mice, and monsters that can't wait for the stream.

"Okay, you don't have long eyes, you are kind enough to make you repent, you don't want to die in peace, you have to force me to skin you alive."

The fat fox on the high platform was quite angry, feeling that his kindness had been let down, and he jumped to scold Xu Mo angrily.

In this regard, Xu Mo could only respond with a long knife.

"Heh, youkai."

......

As soon as the fat fox on the stage gave the order, countless monsters suddenly appeared, from the rooftop, from the window, and even from the earth.

surrounded Xu Mo, and rushed towards him in unison.

It's just that Xu Xianxian, who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, how can he be frightened by such a scene.

With a loud shout in his mouth, he was full of luck, and he aimed at the fat fox and rushed over.

Everywhere he went, there was no enemy, and under the long knife, the demon head was rolling.

The fat fox sat on the platform, and when he saw this, he waved his claws again, and the "Eighteen Arhats" all jumped off the high platform and stopped them.

Xu Mo still had no fear on his face, and his feet did not stop, he made a gesture with his left hand, and a golden light emitted from his body, and he greeted him like this.

He didn't care about the fangs and claws of the monster, and the long knife was waved like a rolling wave, and the "Eighteen Arhats" retreated step by step.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the fat fox rolled his eyes, turned around and wanted to slip away, but unexpectedly, a big hand reached over, pinched its neck, and lifted it up.

"Buddha?"

Xu Mo teased.

The fat fox saw that he couldn't get rid of it, and immediately laughed with it.

"My lord, this is just a joke, how can it."

Xu Mo didn't bother to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"In the past few days, have you lost a person named Zhou An, handed him over, and wrote it off."

The fat fox thought for a moment.

"A few days ago, someone came, but I don't know if it's someone the adults are looking for."

"Less nonsense, where are the people?"

The fat fox hurriedly pointed back.

When Xu Moti sneaked the fat fox to the back hall, it was empty.

Under Xu Mo's knife-like eyes, the fat fox sniffed anxiously.

"They're running there!"

It only took a moment for the fat fox to point to a window hole.

.....

The moonlight is cold, and the mountain wind is cold.

Two figures on the trail run hand in hand.

"Lang Jun, who is that?"

Although the woman who spoke was only a burlap garment, she still couldn't stop her pretty face.

"I, I don't know."

The man broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of the robber who wantonly slaughtered the monks in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

But he still grabbed the woman's hand.

"Don't worry, I will protect the lady."

As everyone knows, a long tail behind his lady keeps swinging.
