"Is it Uncle Wang?" Hearing the movement of Xuan Yuan and his party, a man wearing glasses called out from afar.

Wang Dafu immediately responded: "Yes, yes! I also found Xuanyuan Daoist, you come out to greet you!"

Hearing his words, Xuanyuan's forehead couldn't help but have a row of black lines.

The man with glasses in the distance didn't react when he heard it, and when he remembered what Wang Dafu had mentioned before, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly walked into the broken temple.

After a while, a group of people came out of it, and at the head were two gray-haired but energetic old men.

Before Xuanyuan walked in, the two of them had already greeted him in a hurry.

One of the red-faced old men didn't even say a word, but directly stretched out his hands and dragged Xuanyuan to the broken temple.

As he walked, he said anxiously: "Daoist, come into the temple and take a look, a few children have fainted inexplicably!"

Xuan Yuan frowned slightly, and after carefully looking at the broken temple, his footsteps paused slightly, and he hesitated.

As soon as Xuan Yuan stopped, the red-faced old man leaned forward and froze, almost twisting the old waist.

He was stunned for a moment, a trace of dazedness flashed on his face, and then he immediately came to his senses: "I'm sorry, I'm reckless, but it's really life-threatening inside." Please go in and investigate, or those children won't be able to hold on!"

Crossing the threshold, Xuan Yuan and the others finally saw its full picture.

In fact, although the temple is dilapidated, it covers a lot of land.

On the outskirts of the temple are several bursts of firewood, and behind them, dozens of people huddle together.

The crowd was full of men and women, and none of them were clean. All of them were tired, as if they were fleeing, and their faces looked yellow and haggard.

Of course, the most striking thing is a Buddha statue.

Behind the group, in the middle of the ruined temple, a two-man Buddha statue stood solemnly.

The Buddha statue was broken, the head was missing for some reason, one of the two arms was removed, and even half of the lower body that was originally sitting cross-legged was destroyed.

The only intact right hand is erected on the chest, lightly twisted fingertips, with an indescribable charm.

There is still a little gilt left on the Buddha statue, and under the light of the fire, it reflects a little golden light. With the gesture of handing flowers, this Buddha statue that is extremely mutilated can still make people feel a sense of solemnity.

"Originally, there was a law, but there was no way to pay. Each must realize itself, and realize that there is no impossibility" Xuanyuan whispered the words engraved on the Buddha statue's throne, and his face showed a hint of abruptness, "It turned out to be Venerable Ananda." ”

Venerable Ananda, one of the two attendants beside the Buddha. Legend has it that he was so handsome that he was praised by the Buddha as "like the autumn full moon, his eyes like green lotus, and the Dharma like the sea, flowing into Ananda's heart."

And because of the wisdom of the heart and the understanding of the Buddha, the Buddha nature is profound. After the Buddha and Ka Ye, he deservedly was elected as the "second ancestor" of Buddhism.

Looking at the broken Buddha statue, Xuan Yuan was a little fascinated for a while, and involuntarily stood in place and thought deeply.

Seeing Xuanyuan's actions, Bao Hui couldn't help but remind: "Dao Chief, Dao Chief!"

This time, in addition to anxiety, there was also a hint of complaint in his tone.

If you want to say that this Taoist leader stopped before because he didn't want to be dragged by himself, then, after he explained that human life is at stake, he was still so slow!

Although these children have no relatives and no reason for him, they ...... Alas!

Seeing that Xuan Yuan was still fascinated, Bao Hui couldn't help but plan to pat Xuan Yuan's shoulder. At this moment, a burst of clear light suddenly erupted from Xuan Yuan's body.

As if a spring breeze was blowing, the originally depressed crowd suddenly cheered up.

Several unconscious children slowly opened their eyes, and after seeing the familiar faces of their parents and elders, the children immediately fell into their arms and began to cry.

"What a gut!" Xuan Yuan came to his senses and shouted like thunder.

The next moment, with a pinch of the magic trick in his hand, seven thunder beams shot out from Xuanyuan's sleeve robe.

Seeing that he was about to hit the Buddha statue, who knew that an inexplicable ripple suddenly came out of the Buddha statue, and it actually shattered the thunder beam!

The next moment, the surface of the Buddha statue was blurred, and a purple shadow emerged from it, turning into a shadow and about to escape.

Do I want to run if I calculate it?" Xuanyuan's eyes flashed coldly, and the blazing fire in the air turned into a towering wall of flames, encircling this purple shadow.

The hand closed slightly, and the wall of flames contracted violently with the purple shadow in the center.

The purple shadow sensed that something was wrong, and it didn't know what trick it had used, and its body stretched out for a while, and a dim transparent chain stretched out from its body, stabbing towards the wall of flames.

With the attack of this chain, I saw a large hole suddenly appear on the intact surface of the flame wall, and the next moment, the hole became larger and larger, until the flame wall disappeared completely.

"Soul Arrester, a chain?" Xuan Yuan's eyes flashed with a different color, and he summoned a grass soldier and threw it straight at the extremely weak Soul Detention Ghost.

Unable to resist, it was tightly tied up by the straw soldiers.

"This ...... This is?" Bao Hui was also a little unable to keep up with the rhythm.

It was calm just now, but the next moment, why did there be a scene of a fairy fight?

The middle-aged Taoist priest wearing the glaive crown stepped forward, and the surprise in his eyes couldn't help but be revealed.

Of course, he wasn't because Xuanyuan had a whole journey that was easy and comfortable just now—he had the cultivation of the Dual Realm, which was not very surprising.

To his surprise, the ghostly in front of him.

Ghosts, the appearance is no different from ordinary people, they like to wear purple clothes, and they often have supernatural chains on their hands. Their calls have great power, and when the dead hear them, they immediately separate their bodies and souls, and the living are affected when they hear them, ranging from mental failure to silence of the three souls.

Legend has it that they are servants of the underworld, and in order to prevent their souls from remaining in the world, they often wander around with [Soul Chain] and take them to the underworld - this is also the most mysterious point about them.

"Dao Chief, this?" At this moment, not only the Glaive Crown Daoist was surprised, but even Cang Ting was dumbfounded.

As a person who returns to the Yuanguan, even if he does not touch the core of the lineage, his knowledge is not much.

Although ghosts are rare in the interior, there are also some in the inland sea, not to mention the outer islands, and almost every remote mountain forest will have some existence to some extent.

However, looking through the notes of the procession in the Guanzhong, no one has ever said that they have encountered [Soul Arresting Ghosts] - neither the predecessors who traveled to the outer islands nor the Guanzhong Elders who are now built have never said that.

Such an existence is basically recorded in the classics.

"Could it be that the underworld really exists?" Cang Ting's eyes were confused, and he murmured softly.
