Chapter Seventy-Seven: Into the Dungeon
The Dragon's Claw Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and if someone doesn't lead the way, I don't know how much effort it will take to find a hidden cave in this mountain.
Ruan Ruan and the four of them followed the leading disciple along the steep mountain road, winding all the way, and finally came to the cave located in the back mountain.
During a conversation on the way, I learned that this disciple's name was Yuanji, and he was one of the disciples of the Venerable Master Zizen.
Wu Changli felt that this name was extremely inappropriate, and it was homophonic with Yuan Li, how could he take such an ominous legal name.
At this time, Yuanji had already regarded several people as life-saving benefactors, and he didn't dare to argue with him.
The entrance to the cave is covered by dense vegetation, and ordinary people really can't find it here.
Although the entrance to the cave is small, there is indeed a cave inside.
Several men bent into the cave, through a narrow passageway, and down a wide hall was in front of them.
This cave is obviously a natural formation, and after being transformed by later generations, it looks like a pot-bellied bottle, which makes people feel very magical.
"Could it be that there was such a design here before, how could a dungeon be built?" Zhu Zixin was a little complacent about his discovery, he had followed Ruan Ruan for a long time, and he had also learned to analyze some things.
"This is also the origin of my Buddha Light Sect. "Yuanji obviously knows something.
Zhu Zixin saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask again.
In the underground hall, hundreds of cells are divided into thick iron railings.
Most of the cells were occupied by the monks of the temple, who sat cross-legged on the ground and sat silently, without any sound.
Seeing Yuanji come in, these monks only glanced at it and continued to sit upright.
"Master Wutong, the disciple is not good, and you have been wronged. ”
Yuan Ji opened a cell and knelt down in front of an old monk inside.
This old monk is the abbot of Fanyin Temple, Master Wutong.
He sighed when he saw Madoyoshi like this.
"I know your intentions, and needless to say, I will not let the traitor succeed. ”
Seeing his firm expression, the four Ruan Ruan also admired this master of Wutong very much.
Master Wutong sat quietly on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, obviously not wanting to listen to Yuanji's persuasion anymore.
"If you kill the disciples around you slowly, can you still keep the secret?" Wu Changli said coldly.
Wutong's body shook, his eyes opened, and the light in his eyes was like substance, which frightened Wu Changli to take a step back.
"The thief dares, don't say that you will kill my disciple, even if you slaughter all over Fanyin City, you don't want me to help you abuse. His words were firm, and his expression was full of righteousness. Even the body is faintly covered with golden light, which looks extraordinarily solemn.
"If your disciples were like you, they wouldn't be stuck here now. Zhu Zixin's mouth pursed, and he was not moved by his momentum.
"Hmph, the evil demon also wants to fight my idea of Fanyin Temple, and I won't let you succeed even if you fight hard. Wutong obviously regarded a few people as Yan Ruosong's gang.
"You don't have anything to fight for now. Yuqing grimaced, and the disciples beside her looked at each other angrily.
Seeing that several people were sharp-tongued, Wutong closed his eyes and ignored them.
Wu Changli looked at Yuan Ji, "Is that Purple Zen Venerable also locked up here?"
Yuanji looked dazed, "The family teacher was taken by Yan Ruosong and didn't know where he went, so we could only obey him." ”
"It won't be that Yan Ruosong got up when he saw the color and hid his golden house. Wu Changli began his lewd thoughts again.
Wutong listened to his nonsense, and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.
Ruan Ruan saw that a few people were pulling away from the topic and quickly stopped them.
"Master is angry, we are disciples from Tianxing Academy, this is a letter from Vice Dean Gao, you can see it at a glance. ”
Ruan Ruan took out Gao Yun's codex from his bosom and presented it in front of him.
Wutong was skeptical, took the codex and looked at it carefully.
The letter introduced the origins of Ruan Ruan and the others very clearly, and even the changes that happened in Soul Devouring City were also mentioned.
Wutong read the letter carefully, and couldn't help sighing.
After a while, his gaze swept over the faces of several people, and finally a smile appeared on his face.
"Since he is a senior disciple of Tianxing Academy, the old man is clumsy, please forgive me. ”
Ruan Ruan's heart was full of doubts, and he clasped his fists and saluted.
"There was a disciple of the Tianxing Academy who came to Fanyin Temple before, and I don't know where he is now. ”
Wutong nodded, "It is true that a disciple came to deliver the letter, but he left after that, didn't he return to the academy?"
Oops.
Where did Wang Dacheng go after delivering the letter?
Months had passed since then, and he must have been in trouble.
"What happened between the Master and the Venerable Master Zichan?" Ruan Ruan could only understand the current situation first, and looking for Wang Dacheng could only take a long-term view.
"It's all caused by the secrets of the Dragonclaw Mountains. I am a fellow disciple and brother of the Venerable Master Zizen, and we have a very good relationship. ”
Ruan Ruan was confused for a while, this is not consistent with the previous news, there must be something hidden in this.
I only heard him continue: "Fanyin Temple has always guarded this secret, and the master passed on the two of us to be by his side when he was dying, so that we can guard this Pure Land together." I secretly agreed with Zichan that in order to hide people's eyes and ears and pretend to disagree with me, I stayed in Fanyin Temple, and he brought a group of disciples to this Dragon Claw Mountain Range and established the Buddha Light Sect, also to protect the secrets here. This secret is very important, and it must be opened by me and Zizen. ”
It turns out that there is such a story here.
Ruan Ruan and the others showed a look of sudden realization on their faces, and they were also amazed by the painstaking efforts of Fanyin Temple.
"Last time I received a letter from the Tianxing Academy, the letter asked us to beware of the evil spirits. I consulted with Zichan and conspired together against the enemy. Unexpectedly, he later fell into the hands of Yan Ruosong, and you also know the situation after that. He recounted this, and his heart relaxed a little.
"Yan Ruosong must have thought that the secret was in me, so he has been using Zizen's disciples to deal with me. As everyone knows, although we are divided into two on the surface, we are actually still the same incense. He turned to look at Enyoshi, who felt ashamed and lowered his head and did not dare to make eye contact with him.
"The demon clan referred to in the letter, the master can be aware. Ruan Ruan felt that his head was as big as a fight, and the strength exposed on the enemy's side was even more tricky than he imagined.
"To the north of the Dragonclaw Mountains, there has always been a mysterious force. It's called the Yin Wind Sect, and the valley they are in is the Yin Wind Valley. We have always been in a-for-tat confrontation with the Fanyin Temple, and although there are occasional frictions, we stick to the Dragon Claw Mountains and don't know much about the situation on their side. I only know that they are secretive, and the people of the sect are all black-clad and masked, only if they are a reclusive sect. ”
Wang Dacheng wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the Yin Wind Sect.
Ruan Ruan was secretly suspicious, after all, the identity of a disciple of Tianxing Academy was also a golden sign on the Tiancang Continent. Ordinary small sects will not take the initiative to provoke, and the big forces have disciples in Tianxing Academy, so they will not be embarrassed.
"Why is there such a large dungeon here?" returned to Zhu Zixin's previous question.
"The secrets of the Dragon's Claw Mountains are buried here, and they must be peeped at by the evil demons. Sooner or later, we will have a big battle with these demons, so we built this prison, but I didn't expect to experience it for myself first. Wutong's face was full of shame, and all the disciples also felt that their faces were dull, and they lowered their heads one after another.
"How did the master fight Yan Ruosong before, how did he cultivate, and what means did he have. ”
Ruan Ruan is obviously more thoughtful, and the more he understands the enemy, the more he can be sure.
"I am in the late stage of Jindan realm with him, but this person's skills are weird, even if I don't have the poison of soul devouring, I am not his opponent. Wutong spoke highly of Yan Ruosong.
Later Jindan period.
It's a bit hard to deal with.
At present, he is in the middle of Jindan, and he does not dare to say that he is completely sure of Yan Ruosong.
Since you can't fight alone, you can only use wolf pack tactics.
Yuan Ji wanted to step forward and help Master Wutong up, but was stopped by Ruan Ruan.
"You can't let the master out yet. ”
Enyoshi looked at him, not understanding what he meant.
"Master Zizen still doesn't know your whereabouts, and you still have the poison of soul devouring left in your body. Yan Ruosong will be here in a few days, so we have to put on a good show. ”
Ruan Ruan already had a plan in his heart, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.
