Chapter 22 An old monk in the wilderness
The withered branch-like hands were full of wrinkles, and they knocked on the wooden fish without hurrying, and their sound echoed in the forest for a long time, surround people's hearts, and it was also a little weird.
In Xia Xiao's eyes, an old monk walked over. He was dressed in a cloth garment, with strips of cloth tied around his eyes, and he was covered with mold. With a face full of vicissitudes, he looks like a warrior who has gone through a brutal battle, not a Buddha who meditates on practice.
He walked ten meters, walked in front of Xia Xiao in the blink of an eye, and passed by him.
So fast?
The sky was dark for a moment, and Xia Xiao's eyes froze. He can't do this kind of teleportation, the eldest brother can, but he must urge the vitality, but at this time, the old monk did not exude the slightest fluctuation.
If it's an enemy, it's bad!
Seeing the old monk walking to Xia Xiao's side, Xia Xu's eyes spurted with vitality, and he punched at him like a shapeshifter.
Xia Xiao also reacted very quickly, and as soon as he retreated, he kicked out.
The brothers have been in a dangerous environment for a long time, so they are very cautious, and in the face of a strong man of unknown origin, they can't help but think of the Zhu family, so they start to act.
There was Xia Xu's heavy punch in front, and Xia Xiao's whip leg in the back, and the old monk was suddenly pinched. But when he paused, there was a piercing buzz in the space, and a stream of vitality was released, followed by the spiritual pressure, crushing Xia Xiao into the ground.
That's the real crushing!
Xia Xiao was like a mountain with a load, unable to move, Xia Xu saw his strength, but his fists and feet were blocked.
Seeing that the old monk had no murderous intentions, Xia Xu stopped and blocked in front of Xia Xiao.
"Who are you?"
The old monk didn't say a word, just picked up the book that glowed with golden light.
"The old monk was in the distance with the apprentice four months ago, but the disciple was careless, and the scripture was lost, and the old monk found it. ”
When Xia Xu heard this, his face was respectful, and he knelt down on one knee.
"How offended, I hope forgiveness!"
Demon exterminator, monk, these words all point to the Tanghua Temple among the five neutral forces. This is the same existence as the head church, and they can't provoke it either.
The old monk didn't reply, but just picked up the scriptures. With a shake of vitality, the stains on the scriptures immediately fell to the ground. Holding it in his arms, the old monk walked in front of Xia Xiao. The latter had just gotten rid of the shackles of spiritual pressure, and in the face of the old monk, he was afraid. Xia Xiao also knew the existence of Tanghua Temple, which was located in the southernmost part of the Great Wilderness, and was the existence that guarded the whole world. The people inside are all strong.
"Xiaosheng is reckless, and he hopes to atone for his sins......"
Xia Xiao's words were interrupted, feeling that the old monk was strange. He stood in front of him, as if staring, but he didn't tear the strip of cloth at all, and he didn't release his vitality.
Xia Xiao maintained respect, but there was some surprise in his eyes.
"Take a step to speak. ”
The old monk said and stepped aside.
Xia Xiao looked at Xia Xu, and the two brothers only looked at each other for a moment, and then read each other's meaning. In the face of such a strong old monk, Xia Xiao could not go against his wishes, so he could only follow him, but Xia Xu should remain vigilant, after all, his origin is unknown.
Walking to the old monk's side, Xia Xiao heard him ask:
"Your Excellency is from afar?"
"Hmm...... At last. ”
Xia Xiao was still seeing a monk for the first time, so he was frightened by the wound on the back of his neck. What kind of strong man should that hideous scar be left by a strong man? With the strength of an old monk, since it can't be recovered.
"Do you know about Tanghua Temple? ”
Tanghua Temple is known as the wall of the Buddhas of the Southern Heavens, guarding the great wilderness world. ”
"And what are you we're wary of?"
"It should be a beast, because the demon removed by Tanghua Temple is a beast. ”
There is a difference between a demon and a beast, in the Great Wilderness World, the fifth-order desolate beast has a spiritual intelligence comparable to that of a human being, the sixth-order can spit human language, and the seventh-order can transform into a human form. This is the cultivation route of the common people in the beasts, but there are always some guys who increase their strength by devouring living beings, rather than absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth. After coming and going, such a beast will be violent and become a demon!
Xia Xiao was interested in these, so he learned a lot, but the old monk shook his head and said profoundly:
"There are far fewer demons in the world than there are wicked people, so there is no need to be vigilant in Tanghua Temple. ”
Xia Xiao was curious, the five major neutral forces were different. The Church has repeatedly traveled the world to preach peace and stop war. Ning Theological Seminary accepts apprentices to teach and cultivates strong people in the world. The Adventurers' Guild visits the secret realms of the world, writes books and articles, and also does the business of mercenaries. The Optimus Sect is the most mysterious, and no one knows about it. But isn't Tanghua Temple just sending cultivators to walk the world to eliminate demons?
If not, what is it?
"The meaning of Tanghua Temple's existence is to wait for death, but even if we use all means, we still let some evil spirits enter this world. ”
Xia Xiao didn't understand, so he asked:
"Please also ask the master to enlighten. ”
"The Great Wilderness World is not only our continent, what our Tanghua Temple is guarding against in the south of the continent is the creatures of another continent. ”
"What are they?"
"It's not clear, but they're going to take the form of humans and come to the human world. The goal is you!"
"Why?"
Xia Xiao frowned, a little annoyed. He hasn't even solved the Zhu family yet, and he doesn't know who the guy who sealed him is, how can there be a group of more people?
"Because you are a person from afar, this identity is far beyond your imagination!"
It's this term again, Xia Xiao is tired of hearing it, but he still asks:
"Please advise the master, when will I be in danger?"
The old monk shook his head, Xia Xiao was not surprised, didn't he say it? Master has a reason why he didn't say it, but this old monk also has it? Since he didn't know, why did he mention it, and he made himself upset?
"Four months ago, a force broke through the defenses of the Tanghua Temple and came to the world from the south of the continent, and now I don't know where it is, but you have to be careful. The people around you will put you to death at any time!"
Four months ago, after breaking the seal yourself?
"The old man is finished, it's time to retire!"
The old monk knocked on the wooden fish again, and it seemed that nothing had happened, but Xia Xiao couldn't just pass by. He wanted to ask something, but the old monk disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the sound of the wooden fish in his ears gradually faded away.
A punch slammed into the tree, causing it to tremble violently.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Xu ran over, a little confused. After knowing what happened, he scolded the direction of the old monk's departure.
"This old guy may just be pretending, who knows if it's true or not?"
It's true, Xia Xiao is sure! It makes sense that Tanghua Temple is located in the southernmost part of the world. It's just that the creatures of another continent, why should they kill themselves?
Those who came from afar came from ancient prophecies, but who said that Xia Xiao is not clear, only that he is a strong man. Suddenly, a magnificent building appeared in Xia Xiao's mind, it was the dynasty's library, and there might be a record in it!
The comprehensive strength of the Great Xia Dynasty was not as large as that of the Southern Shang Empire, and its territory was not as large as that of the Goulong Bang clan, but it had a large collection of books.
Thinking of this, he must win the winter competition! Xia Xiao, who was ordered not to return to the imperial capital, can only go back through the identity of the contestant! If you want to get this identity, you must defeat all the people who stand in front of you!
Xia Xiao has been thinking about things, completely forgetting the purpose of this trip, but Xia Xu is still there. He summoned the Rock Armor Beast, coiled the tail of the Great Serpent around his waist, and the Rock Spike fixed the Great Snake and dragged it towards Longgang City.
The two went down the mountain, leaving only the old monk standing on top of the treetops, bending slightly in their direction. He seemed to be expressing his respect, and it was like praying for Xia Xiao, but he only said a faint sentence to himself.
"The suffering in the world is far more than what we see, little donor, be careful all the way!"
