After lining up a full half pillar of incense outside, Ji Yuan and his party were able to enter the Baiyun Temple.

This antique temple looks at least two hundred years old, and many of the objects are already old, but they can also be worth a lot of silver taels, but they are placed at will by the monks here.

Thinking about it, it is estimated that there are not many people in this world who really dare to do that kind of stealing under the noses of the immortals, gods and Buddhas.

After all, for ordinary people, the words of having a god are not just words, but really regard them as wise sayings and keep them in their hearts.

This is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the articles of Confucian sages, or the Bibles of Taoism and Buddhism.

After entering the temple, the group did not go straight to the temple where the Buddha statue was enshrined, but stepped on a path that was rarely visited, and under the gaze of a famous monk, they came to the courtyard behind the temple with a calm expression.

This small but very elegant courtyard is the place where the monks really practice.

As soon as Ji Yuan walked into the courtyard, he saw Huixin sitting under the old tree, who was meditating with his eyes closed, reciting a Buddhist Bible.

The sound of chanting as thin as mosquitoes and flies reached the ears of several people, but it was like the morning bell and dusk drum ringing, and their moods suddenly became peaceful.

"Words come with words, but in the early stage of enlightenment, if you can have such a vision, the achievements of this monk in the future will never be low."

Zhao Yuansong muttered to himself, looked at the young monk under the old tree, and couldn't help but become much more solemn.

Generally speaking, if you can have this kind of vision when you have just stepped on the path of cultivation, you can predict the future achievements of the other party, and at least it is an existence second only to the great monk.

Although Huixin is in his twenties, cultivation is inherently different from martial arts, which focuses on physical qi and blood, and his potential declines rapidly as he ages, and his future achievements are very limited.

But for the former, age has never been a problem, it is not that the old man who has not read countless books and practiced penance for decades will directly climb to the realm of land immortals once he has attained enlightenment.

Compared with the few people in Jiuxuanmen, Ji Yuan's expression at this time seemed much more normal, and he should have seen the vision of the other party when he chanted more than once.

After a while, the chanting in the courtyard dissipated, and Huixin, who was sitting cross-legged under the old tree, opened her eyes and got up and walked towards the few people who had stepped into the courtyard.

He folded his hands, recited a Buddha name, and saluted Ji Yuan and the fifth senior brother Guo Tao, and then looked at Zhao Yuansong and the other five people with a slightly puzzled look.

Seeing this scene, the little Taoist priest gave a general introduction to both sides, and also made it clear the purpose of the trip.

Hearing that it was to destroy the hidden evil things in the county, Hui agreed without thinking about it, without mentioning whether there was any benefit or whether there would be any danger in this trip.

This stunned look, Ji Yuan kept shaking his head, and he didn't know how far the other party could go if he walked the rivers and lakes one day.

"Wait a while, donors, and let the poor monk go to the master and borrow a magic weapon to subdue demons and eliminate demons."

After hearing Zhao Yuansong's estimation of the hidden demons, Huixin immediately confessed and hurriedly walked to a hut in the corner of the courtyard.

In a short time, he hung a string of prayer beads and hurried back to the courtyard.

It is a string of rosaries made of rosewood, a total of one hundred and eight, each of which is engraved with dense small characters.

According to Huixin, what is engraved on this string of prayer beads is the beginning of one of the fundamental Buddhism of Buddhism, which has the ability to cleanse demons and evil spirits and clean up ghosts, whether it is used against enemies or to protect itself, it can exert extremely powerful power.

But in terms of appearance, this string of Buddhist prayer beads has surpassed most of the ritual vessels, and it can definitely be regarded as a rare object of amazing value.

"Where to go first?"

After everyone was ready, Ji Yuan turned to look at Zhao Yuansong.

Seeing this, the latter groaned for a while and said: "Although the blood in the Minfang is the closest to this place, I would like to suggest that it is better to go to the Xiyu River first." ”

Regarding the monster hiding at the bottom of the lake, he has roughly figured out some of the heels, and the monk has no clue Compared to the other two, although Xiyuhe looks more troublesome, it is actually the simplest.

In this way, a group of people marched towards the Xiyu River where the west of the city and the middle of the city intersected.

To say that this Xiyu River is almost unknown to everyone in the county, after all, it is a river that runs through the whole city, and countless people are counting on this river for their daily use.

However, it is said to be a river, but in fact it can only be regarded as a small stream, the widest part is only three or four zhang, and the thinnest point is even only one or two zhang wide.

The reason why it is called a river is also handed down more than 300 years ago, when the Xiyu River was not the current situation, on the vast river, I don't know how many people came here to clean the mined jade.

It's just that then again, although the Xiyu River is no longer in the past, the depth has not changed, and the deepest place is twenty or thirty zhang.

And although the river looks stable, but the undercurrent in the river is surging, every year I don't know how many young and strong men who go down to the river to relieve the heat, and they disappear by the undercurrent.

"The monster that is hiding somewhere should be a fine fish, probably a young man who has been swallowed all year round and has been swept into the undercurrent of the river, and has gradually accumulated a body of Taoism."

Zhao Yuansong said in a deep voice: "If you give that monster a few more years and devour some more young and strong men, when the blood essence in the body accumulates enough, it won't be long before it breaks through to the next realm and gives birth to strong mana." ”

At that time, this monster will form a climate, relying on a water magic spell, causing a huge flood, killing a large number of people's lives, and then fleeing along the Xiyu River.

And once this monster cultivates its mana, even if it encounters a monk who is one or two small realms higher than it, if it doesn't understand the water method, it will really be difficult to hurt it in the river.

"Hearing what Taoist friends said, I even began to suspect that the people who fell into the water in previous years might have had a chance to live, maybe they were all mutilated by this evil thing."

Ji Yuan frowned, his idea was not rootless, you must know that so many people have fallen into the water for decades, but no one has ever escaped with their lives, which is extremely abnormal in itself.

It's just that in the past, no matter who it is, they will think that there is an undercurrent surging in the river, but no one will think that there are monsters hiding at the bottom of the river.

"If there is no accident, it should be what the Taoist friend thinks, because from the body of that monster, I have sensed a strong sin."

Zhao Yuansong sighed.

In this world, it is not that good deeds come to you, but if you do bad deeds, there will be sins.

If it can make a monk feel the guilt of the sins, you can imagine how many people that monster has killed.

"Amitabha!"

Huixin folded his hands and recited a Buddha name, and the context was full of self-blame.

Like Ji Yuan, he grew up in Qianyu City since he was a child, and has been worshipping Buddhism for more than ten years, and he has been a Buddhist monk for two or three years.

But Huixin never discovered that this monster hiding at the bottom of the Xiyu River and secretly killing innocent people for decades.

Even Ji Yuan, who had never been concerned about external affairs, was angry in his eyes at this time, and when he thought of the innocent people that the monster had eaten over the years, there was a surge of anger in his heart.

Half an hour later, the group came to the bank of the Xiyu River, and a bunch of eyes fell, as if they could see the turbulent undercurrent in the river through the calm lake.

"How do you lure that monster out?"

Ji Yuan frowned and whispered: "Twenty or thirty zhang of water depth, with our cultivation, it is impossible to dive down, let alone fight with monsters in it." ”

In this depth, even if you have reached the second realm of cultivation 'Point Spirit Realm' and are still good at water methods, it is estimated that you will exhaust your mana after staying for a while.

I'm afraid that only a monk who is good at water in the third realm 'Ming Dao realm' can go deep into the bottom of the river twenty or thirty zhang and kill a monster hiding in it.

It's just that most of the monks in this realm are guest elders of some sects, or they are in charge of any faction, and if they join the imperial court, they can easily get official positions.

It is not an official position that is only in name but has no real power, but a real one, which can enter the Ming Jian Division of the imperial court and hold a high position of great power.

Not to mention that it is a third-class county seat in Qianyu City, even if it is a county town, it is extremely difficult to find such a master of cultivation.

"I have a set of water-locking array flags, which can block the water surface of ten zhang when activated, so that monsters cannot escape."

Zhao Yuansong didn't hide it privately, so he took out a set of array flags with his backhand, a total of eighteen small aqua blue flags, plus a light blue jade plate.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, and the evaluation of this person in his heart couldn't help but improve a lot again.

The other party's method of taking things out of thin air is undoubtedly to own a mountain and river bag, but the value of this thing, even he, who has deep luck and the art of alchemy and talismans, feels very painful and says that it is not necessary for the time being.

If it is a master of the Three Realms 'Ming Dao Realm', naturally there is nothing, even if this thing is expensive, it is not difficult to have one with his cultivation.

Even if it is the 'Point Spirit Realm' of the Second Realm, a disciple who is born from a famous and decent family and is still a descendant, he may be able to get the gift of his elders.

But a disciple of the outer sect of the Nine Xuanmen, even if the other party climbs to the position of a senior brother with his own efforts, he has no ability to spend.

And Zhao Yuansong once said that he was born poor and did not have a prominent family background behind him, so it could not be inherited by his family or given by his elders.

With his cultivation in the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm, he would be able to use an expensive mountain and river bag, if it wasn't for the fate of the Hung Fu Qi Heavenly Destiny, or this person was extremely capable and could do this step with his own ability.

"If that's the case, Poor Dao just has a blood demon attraction talisman, which may lead the demons at the bottom of the river out of the water."

His mind turned for a moment, and then Ji Yuan took out a talisman from his arms.

This talisman is different from ordinary talismans, the yellow paper is soaked in blood, and the runes are painted with gold lacquer on it, and as soon as Fang takes it out, there is a faint blood gas coming out.

However, this blood smell does not have any fishy smell, on the contrary, it is only a slight smell, and it is refreshing, as if smelling the aroma of delicious food.
