Thinking of the relationship between the temple and Qiao Youning, in fact, Chen Jing also felt a little headache.

Because the monastery seemed to him to be far less annoying than [the Moonlight Retreat].

What's more, the temple didn't have anything to say about Qiao Youning's treatment, and almost offered this stupid girl who had been in the watch world for more than ten or twenty years.

It can be said that the temple has not let her suffer the slightest grievance so far, of course, there is a big reason for this, which comes from Qiao Youning's special physique.

She carries the hope of the entire temple to rise again, and it is also an opportunity for the Buddha's mother to return to the world, so the temple's attitude towards her is not something Chen Jing can imagine.

Once, Chen Jing also asked "him" in his mind in private.

Will the temple hurt Qiao Youning?

It's like Jiang Jingzhen, using her as a medium or part of the ritual, so that the Buddha Mother can return to the world or something......

And "he" answered in the affirmative.

"The temple won't hurt her, it will only shelter her, including the Buddha's mother, and only she can kill Qiao Youning."

Straight to the point.

After hearing Kui Nan ask the question of which side you are standing on in the fight, Qiao Youning was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect to suddenly face this problem.

"The monastery has been kind to me, and the elders are very kind to me, better than my own parents, but ...... I won't let Ah Jing be wronged. ”

As she spoke, Qiao Youning sighed helplessly.

"If you really want to fight, then I'll stand in the middle, persuade if I can, and if I can't persuade you, I'll help you drag the people of the monastery and let you run."

"What is your monastery's attitude towards the resuscitators of deep space?" Yan Qi asked coldly.

"No hostility." Qiao Youning shook his head, his tone was sincere, "Ah Jing is my only friend, so I am very concerned about this matter, you can completely trust me, if the temple is hostile to Ah Jing, I would have told him a long time ago." ”

Hearing this, Kui Nan and Yan Que looked at each other for a while, no one said they didn't believe it, but no one said they believed it, because they had known Qiao Youning for a short time, and some things could not be seen casually.

Until Chen Jing spoke.

"Don't ask." Chen Jing's tone was the same as usual, and he seemed to be a little helpless about the topic they were chatting about, "Youning is my good friend, she can't betray me, if one day, the monks of the temple plan to kill me like those monks in Hanging City...... We'll talk about that then. ”

The voice fell.

Chen Jing sensed that those breaths were rapidly approaching him.

And just as he was about to trace the direction of those breaths and look over, in the place where Yukong Mountain was blown out of a big hole by Kui Nan and them...... Right at the edge of the cavern, several unfamiliar figures were already standing there.

The people who came were monks.

There are six people in total.

The five monks standing in the back were all wearing the same style of black robes, and their faces were wearing hollow masks that looked like gold casting, except for the old man standing at the front, who was dressed more "plainly".

The simple white monk's robe is spotless.

The hair is all white, and the eyebrows are kind.

It has a bit of the temperament of a monk.

The long staff he held in his hand looked like a green rattan weaving, and there were nine golden wind chimes hanging from the front, back, left and right.

When Chen Jing saw him, the old man also looked up at Chen Jing, and there was no hostility on his face.

"Raw...... Growing old?? When Qiao Youning saw the old man, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, "The temple would actually send an elder over directly?!" ”

"You know?" Kui Nan asked.

"Well, he is one of the nine elders of our temple, his real name is 'Life and Immortal', and the people in our temple call him Elder ......" Qiao Youning explained in a low voice.

"Imperishable?" Yan Que frowned, and couldn't help but complain, "How did the elders of your temple choose a strange name?" ”

"Is he strong?" Kui Nan asked the most curious question.

"Strong."

This time, it was not Qiao Youning who explained to her, but Chen Jing took the initiative to speak, as if he had judged the approximate strength of the old man from the results of the breath feedback.

"He should be around Sequence 6, only one level weaker than the Pope of the Hermitage Order, not as good as the old man, but it's not something we can deal with casually......"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Jing also laughed.

Because he found that although these people were strong, they were really not enough to keep him, even if the leading old man had the strength of a hermit bishop, it was impossible for everyone to stay in this empty mountain......

"Youning?"

At this time, the old man had already seen the familiar face through the golden mist, although before he came, he had heard from the monk under the mountain that there were several unfamiliar faces beside the holy woman, and he heard the holy woman say that they were her friends......

Yes.

Friend.

So this incorporeal "lifeform" that exudes deep air is a friend of Youning?

"Grow old ......," Qiao Youning replied weakly, only afraid that the situation would go in the worst direction.

"They're all your friends?" The old man finally settled on it once.

"Yes! All my friends! Qiao Youning hurriedly spoke, for fear that the elder would misunderstand, "Don't worry, grow old!" I'm not in danger! It's safe to be with them! ”

"Then you should come down first."

The crane-haired old man smiled, and his eyebrows were kind and soft-spoken.

"Get these friends of yours down...... Rest assured, I'm not hostile to them, especially this little guy. ”

The elder seemed to be able to see what Qiao Youning was worried about, so the way he spoke was extremely frank and straightforward.

And at this very moment.

Chen Jing suddenly spoke up.

Since he was now invisible, when he spoke loudly, his voice always sounded like an oppressive rolling thunder.

"Elder, you'd better take someone out of this area first, or you'll be in danger."

Chen Jing thought that he would have to go through more words to let them leave, and he was even mentally prepared to cause trouble because of his words, after all, his words sounded somewhat like a threat to outsiders, coupled with the transcendent status of "growing old", it was inevitable that the monks of the temple would feel uncomfortable when they heard it......

But it turned out that the people of the monastery were not so stupid.

Especially growing old.

After making sure that Qiao Youning was safe and sound, he also put his mind at ease, and when he heard Chen Jing's advice, he also nodded in agreement, and without waiting for a few monks behind him to speak, he led everyone to turn around and walk down the mountain.

It was at this very moment.

The spatial collapse in the underground caverns began.

With the sound of dimensional space being torn apart, a black beam of light the thickness of a water tank broke through the earth, like an energy cannon spewed by some old creatures, shooting straight into the air.

The next second.

The beam dissipated.

In the middle of a cloudless sky.

A black star with a diameter of several kilometers appeared.

"That's ...... The black star of the old deep sky ......"
