2 Chapter II

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Gu and Ji Yun went down the mountain together.

Lin'an is not far from Qing County, and it is only half a day before the sword walks, and the scenery under his feet is open, and the gate of Lin'an City appears in front.

The Immortal League has a rule that monks are not allowed to use magic in front of mortals unless necessary.

Qin Gu and Ji Yun put away their swords in the bamboo forest not far from the city gate and turned to go on foot.

The cranes were faster than them, and Qingsongguan had received a reply, and the monk who had been sent to greet them was a young man in a Taoist robe, and he bowed his hand to them from afar.

Qin Gu folded his hands in return, and while there was still some distance, he quietly cast a look at Ji Yun for help.

He is still playing "Amnesia", so naturally he shouldn't recognize the monk in front of him.

Ji Yun's expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't see his emotions: "This is Senior Brother Qingli." ”

Qin Gu is as good as a stream: "Senior Brother Qingli, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's the situation?" ”

Naturally, it was as if it wasn't him who was still asking "who" a second ago.

The green fox didn't see it, and sorrow lingered between his eyebrows: "Young Alliance Master, talk while walking, please come here." ”

The three of them walked into the city, and the green fox talked about the current situation with a sad face:

Since last month, there have been frequent cases of disappearances in Lin'an City, and the government has no results in investigation, so they have to ask Xianmen to take action.

Qingsongguan sent two disciples, thinking that they were ordinary monsters, but who expected that after tracking down, the two disciples lost their news, and even the magic weapon could not find their traces.

"It's just that such a powerful monster came out of Shizun's retreat," Qingli lamented, "I'm afraid that only a cultivation like the Young Alliance Master can solve it." ”

Qin Gu: ...

There's a subtle sense of killing.

He shook his head sincerely, and while saying "false praise", he changed the subject: "In this matter, does Qingsongguan have any eyebrows-borrowed-?" ”

Qin Gu was stumbled by the pedestrians behind him, and the person who hit him said "sorry", and continued to walk forward happily.

Turning their heads, they have unconsciously found themselves in the flow of people, pedestrians in and out of pairs, good men and women are sincere, and they are lovers at a glance.

Look at the direction of the flow of people again, a temple with four corners and pointed points appears in front of you, there is a five-character plaque of "Double Happiness Niangniang Temple", and the people in front of the temple are crowded, such as the tide undulating.

Qingli said: "The missing people have all been to the Shuangxi Niangniang Temple, and this is it." ”

The name of the side quest is also Double Happiness Niangniang.

It's just that he was ready to think that Shuangxi Niangniang was a wild road god, but he didn't expect that he would have a temple in Lin'an City alone, and the incense was still so prosperous.

Qin Gu looked sideways: "Qingsongguan doesn't stop worshipping this temple, is it afraid of startling the snake?" ”

His words had no beginning or end, and the green fox was stunned for a moment: "As the young league master said, the incense of the Shuangxi Niangniang Temple is too prosperous, and there are many people who come and go to worship incense every day, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that it will cause panic in Lin'an, and it will also be detected by the monster." ”

The cultivation realm has the duty of guarding the world, and if the monsters cannot be removed, the Immortal Alliance will also hold Qingsongguan accountable, which is probably the reason why Qingxi does not want to make a big deal.

Qin Gu did not expose his careful thoughts, and walked into the temple with a step along the flow of people.

The temple is not large, with only one main hall and two rooms for monks to live.

In the main hall, a pure gold statue sits on the lotus platform, it is a woman's appearance, her eyebrows and eyes are lowered, she holds a red thread in her hand, and her hands are knotted with a wish seal, which is the double happiness of the mother.

The monks all stood at the entrance, and the men and women who asked for marriage took the red rope from the hands of these monks, tied it to the hanging hand of the double happy lady, and then respectfully put on a stick of incense, and threw some incense money, which is considered to be the completion of the process.

Under the gaze of the Buddha statue, the temple should have been sacred and solemn;

However, from the moment you step into the temple, you seem to be surrounded by decaying factors, like the humid air on a rainy day, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Qin Gu mobilized his spiritual breath, and could faintly see a few wisps of black mist mixed in the air.

"Devil's breath."

Ji Yun's deliberately lowered voice sounded behind him.

"Yes," the green fox replied, "Poor Dao is ashamed, although we have detected the demonic breath in the temple, we can't find the source anyway, this demonic breath is extremely weak, but it is everywhere..."

In addition, the incense in the Shuangxi Niangniang Temple is extremely prosperous, which largely dissipates the demonic breath, making it more difficult to find its traces.

Qin Gu understood, according to the cultivation system of this book, the gap between the realms was like a heavenly moat, since Qingqi and other Yuan Infant Stage cultivators couldn't do it, then...

Well, it's up to him.

Although Qin Gu didn't want to steal the limelight of the protagonist from the bottom of his heart, he was the only one present who was out of his body.

After settling down, Qin Gu walked towards the statue of Shuangxi Niangniang, he walked very slowly, observing the passers-by sideways as he walked.

If the missing people had all entered the Shuangxi Niangniang Temple, then they must have done the same thing, no matter what they were asking forβ€”

Wrap the red rope around Double Happiness Niang's hand.

Qin Gu followed the example of these pilgrims, and respectfully wrapped the red rope around the fingertips of Shuangxi Niangniang with both hands.

At the same time, a spiritual breath rushed along the red rope into the idol, as fast as lightning.

This set of actions is done smoothly and vividly, vividly interpreting what it means to be unworshipful to the Buddha.

Seeing this, the green fox on the side widened his eyes: "Young Alliance Master, we have investigated this statue..."

- Before the words fell, the change was abrupt.

A black mist flew out of Shuangxi Niangniang's hand twisting the red thread, and crashed out of the temple!

As early as when he came over, Qin Gu had already planned the route, and the crowded crowd in the temple did not affect his footsteps in the slightest, and he did not forget to instruct: "Senior Brother Ji, take a good look at the statue!" ”

With that, he took a step forward and quickly followed.

The Demon Breath escaped very quickly, like a snake shuttling through the street, Qin Gu naturally couldn't let it escape, his attention was concentrated on the feet in front of him, and he followed closely.

Chasing, chasing, he jerked to a halt.

At some point, the noise around me stopped.

No, no, it seems that since he stepped out of the Shuangxi Niangniang Temple, he has never heard a sound other than breathing.

The alarm bell sounded in his heart, and Qin Gu found that there was a thick fog on his side, not only pedestrians, but also the streets and eaves looming, almost engulfed by the fog.

Xu realized that he could no longer seduce the young monk, and the demonic breath disappeared without a trace in an instant.

But in the depths of the mist, there seemed to be footsteps, accompanied by the woman's chanting.

Qin Gu remembered that the mechanical sound had desperately prevented him from taking the task, probably the monster that caused chaos in Lin'an was on par with his strength, and there was even a high probability that it was above him.

So...

The cold light flashed, and the long sword was unsheathed, and the cold sword qi split a crack in the mist.

The fog did not immediately retract, and a woman's graceful back faintly appeared in the depths of the rift.

Long hair to the waist, exquisite.

But it was obviously her back, but the woman seemed to be constantly approaching Qin Gu.

Looking down, Qin Gu was shocked to find that the woman's toes were facing him!

What a woman, clearly a monster!

Rao is that he doesn't change his color when he looks at horror, and he still feels that seeing this scene in reality is terrifying enough.

Qin Gu's sword-holding hand was slightly sweaty, and his mind quickly recalled the sword moves he had learned in his original body, and at the moment when the monster approached, a sword was swung out!

This sword is accompanied by ten percent of the skill, and the sword qi is so strong that it cuts the bricks and tiles on the ground to pieces.

"Qiangβ€”"

The gold objects collided with each other with a screeching sound, and the monster retreated several meters and immediately counterattacked, beckoning to attack his heart.

Qin Gu raised his wrist, unable to block the monster's attack.

His arm was numb from the shock, and the monster didn't give him a chance to breathe, and the sword light came in an instant.

Qin Gu dodged sideways, and was about to fight back, his expression suddenly froze.

Sword?

Look at the monster in the fog, the five fingers are dead white, the black nails are as long as sharp claws, where is the sword?

Another palm smashed, Qin Gu dodged his waist, and his sword slashed in the air.

This cut was full of loopholes, and it was intercepted only halfway.

At the same time, Qin Gu's complexion sank completely.

- He could never be mistaken, the monster's block made it the "Feng Di Sword Technique" of the Drinking Maple Pavilion!

The moment he realized this, the figure of the monster in front of him suddenly collapsed, and in its place was a familiar face.

Cold eyes and cold face, temperament dusty.

Qin Gu lost his voice: "Ji Yun?!" ”

Ji Yun was unmoved, his sword moves were fast and ruthless, and there was a monstrous hatred in his moves, and he stabbed straight at the door in front of him.

Qin Gu turned his sword to block and looked at Ji Yun's eyes, there was no focus in his seductive purple and black eyes.

The situation is already very clear, the fog is an illusion, and the monster lures him deeper, actually wanting him and Ji Yun to kill each other.

But why is Ji Yun here? Didn't he let Ji Yun guard the statue of Shuangxi Niangniang?

Knowing that it was actually Ji Yun on the other side, Qin Gu was restrained instead, and was forced to switch from attack to defense, while dodging Ji Yun's attack, while thinking about how to wake up the other party.

Ji Yun didn't care about this, his sword was neat and neat, pressing step by step, Qin Gu was forced to the end of the alley, and there was no way to retreat.

And Ji Yun still has no signs of waking up, and for some reason the nightmare is very deep.

The distance between the two was extremely close, and Ji Yun's sword intent pierced through the air, pouring like a violent wind and rain.

Qin Gu didn't dodge.

The sharp blade pierced into his left shoulder, Qin Gu did not retreat but advanced, his spiritual breath condensed in his fingertips, and he pressed a little harder towards the maple leaf pattern in the center of Ji Yun's eyebrows!

The gentle, scorching spiritual breath poured into the sea of knowledge along the center of his eyebrows, Ji Yun staggered, his misty eyes regained focus, and he was still a little dazed as if he had just woken up, first subconsciously observed the surroundings, and then turned his gaze back to the front of him.

Facing a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, only to see Qin Gu's face pale, and there were green tendons stirring around his neck, as if he was forcibly enduring the pain;

Moving his gaze down again, a long sword was inserted horizontally between the two of them, the tip of the sword had already sunk into the flesh, and blood was dripping down, dyeing Qin Gu's red clothes even redder.

Qin Gu then watched Ji Yun's handsome face turn pale little by little, his eyes were full of disbelief, and he thought inappropriately: It's really pitiful for me.

The sword that pierced through the flesh was slowly withdrawn, Rao is Ji Yun was extremely careful, and the sound of the blade cutting through the blood vessels was still clearly audible.

Qin Gu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and did not forget to comfort: "It's okay, it's just a small injury." ”

Ji Yun opened his mouth: How can it be okay? You're trembling in pain.

"Senior brother," Ji Yun stepped forward to support him, "I..."

Qin Gu didn't dare to accept the protagonist's apology, and quickly changed the topic: "Why are you here?" ”

This is the key, Ji Yun swallowed "sorry", and said: "Senior brother has been gone for an hour, I see that it is getting late, I'm afraid... So I chased it out with the devil's breath. ”

An hour? But Qin Gu obviously remembered that he had just entered the fog.

Fog not only creates illusions, but also distorts other people's perception of time?

... The monster was even more difficult to deal with than he thought.

After Ji Yun came to his senses, the fog surrounding them disappeared, and the surroundings changed into ordinary streets again, and even the traces of the fight disappeared together.

Looking at the sky, the full moon was hanging high, and it had been night for a long time.

After simply stopping the bleeding in the shoulder, the two returned to the temple non-stop.

The green fox was pacing back and forth nervously, and several monks in the temple were waiting with him.

Seeing them come back, the green fox was overjoyed and greeted him, and when he saw Qin Gu's embarrassed appearance, his smile froze on his face again: "This, Young Alliance Master, this is..."

"A little surprise," Qin Gu waved his hand, so that he didn't have to care, "During the time we were away, did the statue move?" ”

Qingli nodded, and shook his head again: "The statue has not moved, but I asked the monk, this statue was donated by a wealthy merchant surnamed Jia in the city not long ago, and it was covered with a red cloth when it was brought in, and I have inquired about the residence of this rich merchant..."

Speaking of this, Qingli paused and handed over the decision to Qin Gu.

Qin Gu didn't answer, his eyes narrowed like a fox.

Pure gold statues, with lifts?

Doesn't make sense.

Or, the monks in the temple told a lie;

or-

Qin Gu bowed slightly, and in the stunned gaze of the crowd, he held the sword in his backhand, and the top of the hilt lightly hit the torso of the god statue.

He moves easily, but when he touches it, he lets out a "Boom!" There was a roar.

The idol cracked around the point of impact, and the entire front shattered in an instant!
