Chapter 2: The Puzzle
The old monk didn't answer, but only looked at the two children carefully, and couldn't help but look at Lin Jingyu a few more times, and said in his heart: "Good qualifications, but why is xìngzi so extreme?"
At this time, Zhang Xiaofan stepped forward and said, "Hey, who are you, why have I never seen you?"
Caomiao Village is near Qingyunmen, where Taoism is respected, and Buddhist disciples are extremely rare, so Zhang Xiaofan has this question.
The old monk glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked rhetorically: "Little donor, just now, you just need to admit defeat, why do you have to work hard to support, if it weren't for the old man's move, you are afraid that you have given your life in vain!"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, feeling that what the old monk said was not unreasonable, but when the matter came to an end, he still couldn't say why, so he had to be stunned.
Lin Jingyu glared at the old monk, took Zhang Xiaofan's hand, and said, "Xiaofan, this old monk is weird, let's ignore him." Then he drew him outside, and the children followed, apparently always looking at him.
Zhang Xiaofan subconsciously took a step, but after he walked out of the temple gate for a while, he couldn't help but look back at the temple again, only to see that the sky was getting darker, and he could vaguely see that the old monk was still standing there, but his face was blurred.
※※※
Night.
There was a thunderclap, the wind swept the clouds, and the black clouds rolled in the sky.
The wind and rain will come, and there will be a killing intention.
The old monk is still in the grass temple, meditating on the ground. Looking up, there was only a haze left in Qingyun Mountain in the distance, and there was no sound in the four fields, only the sound of the wind and thunder all over the sky.
What a gale!
A flash of lightning burst through the sky, and the small grass temple standing alone in the wind lit up, only to see that the old monk had stood at the gate of the temple in this moment, with a stern face, raising his eyes to look at the sky, and his eyebrows were wrinkled tighter and tighter.
In the village to the west, I don't know when a black gas has risen, as thick as black ink, surging endlessly. The old monk stood in the grass temple, staring at this black gas.
Suddenly, the black gas rolled up, swirled up, and went straight to the outside of the village, heading towards the direction of the grass temple. It's blazing fast, and it's just a blink of an eye. The old monk's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that there was a child in it, it was Lin Jingyu who he had seen during the day.
The old monk's face sank, and he didn't hesitate anymore, and he didn't see how he behaved, and his thin body rose from the ground and plunged straight into the black qi.
In the darkness, a slightly surprised voice came: "Huh?"
With a few muffled sounds, the black qi stopped and hovered over the Grass Temple. The old monk held Lin Jingyu under his ribs and slowly fell, but a piece of the robe behind him had been torn off.
Through the faint light, I saw Lin Jingyu's eyes closed, his breathing was steady, and he didn't know whether he was asleep or fainted.
The old monk didn't let him go, looked up at the black gas in the air, and said, "Your Excellency has a profound Taoism, why do you attack ignorant children, just afraid of losing your identity?"
A hoarse voice came from the black air, and said, "Who are you, dare to meddle with my affairs?"
The old monk didn't answer, but said: "This is at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, if Qingyunmen knows that Your Excellency is doing anything wrong here, I am afraid that Your Excellency will not have a good time after Rì." ”
The man snorted, his words were disdainful, and said, "What is Qingyunmen, it just depends on the number of people." Don't say much, old bald donkey, let me the boy as soon as he knows him. ”
The old monk said: "Amitabha, the monks are compassionate, and the old man can't watch this child being poisoned by you." ”
The man said angrily: "What a thief, you are looking for death." ”
With his words, in the black qi that had been circling, a crimson light flashed in it, and in an instant, around this small grass temple, the wind was loud, and the ghost aura was flourishing.
"Poisonous Blood Banner!" the old monk's face suddenly appeared angry, "Evil obstacles, you dare to cultivate such an evil thing that has lost your conscience and harmed the world, and I will never spare you today." ”
The hoarse voice sneered, but did not answer, only heard a whistling, red mang, from the middle of the air, the smell of fishy smell, one side of the two red flags slowly sacrificed. At this time, the sound of the ghost crying became more and more poignant, as if there were countless resentful spirits crying at night, and there was a faint sound of bones rattling, which was terrifying.
"The thief is bald, suffer death!" The man in the black air broke off and shouted, only to see that from the bloody red flag, a hideous grimace suddenly appeared, with triangular eyes, sharp teeth and fangs, "click, click, click" The four eyes on the ghost face suddenly all opened, and with a "roar", it turned into an entity, rushed out from the flag, and hit the old monk with an incomparably bloody aura.
The old monk's face was even more angry, knowing that the more powerful this poisonous blood banner was, the more innocent people would inevitably be killed in the cultivation process. If you want to refine the power in front of you, you can only use more than 300 people to sacrifice the flag.
This wicked man has lost his conscience!
Seeing that the ghost thing was about to rush in front of him, the old monk did not let go of the child Lin Jingyu under his ribs, only used his left hand holding a jasper rosary, drew a circle in the void in front of him, and knotted the lion mark of the Buddha Gate with one hand, five fingers flexed and stretched, and the fingertips faintly emitted golden light.
"Little trick, also come to sell" He didn't finish the word "get", and suddenly his whole body was shocked, only to feel that he was holding the child Lin Jingyu in his right hand, and his wrist was bitten by a foreign object, and a tingling feeling immediately spread all over his body, and his eyes were dark, and he was shaking in front of him.
And at this time, the ghost thing in front of it has a strange change, in its left and right eyes in the middle of the forehead, "click, click" twice, actually opened a blood-red giant eye, the fishy wind is strong, the power is heavier, only to hear a ghost howl, blood sè red light flashed, the ghost thing smashed Jin sè***, hit the old monk in the chest.
The old monk was beaten backwards and flew up, and Lin Jingyu under his ribs also fell to the ground, making a few muffled noises on the way, I am afraid that all the ribs have been broken. A moment later, his emaciated body smashed against the wall of the grass temple, and with a "bang", the dust flew up, and the entire wall collapsed.
"Hahaha~~~~~~~~" The person in the black air laughed wildly, extremely proud.
The old monk stood up tremblingly, his throat was hot, and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, dyeing the monk's clothes in front of him red. He only felt that Venus flashed in front of him, and his whole body was in sharp pain, and the tingling sensation was getting closer and closer to his heart.
He forced himself to calm down, and the corner of his eyes swept over Lin Jingyu, who fell to the ground unconscious, but saw that in the middle of his clothes, a colorful centipede slowly crawled out, as big as a palm, and the most bizarre thing was that it had seven forks on its tail, as if it had seven tails. And each one has its own sè, each is different, the sè is gorgeous, but the beauty is a little terrifying.
"Seven-tailed centipede!" the old monk's words sounded like a moan.
The black qi on his face became heavier and heavier, and the corners of his mouth continued to bleed, as if it was difficult to support, but he still held on and did not want to fall. He looked at the black gas in the air and said, "You put this strange poisonous thing in the world on that child, and deliberately hid your strength, and saw the opportunity to hurt me with one blow, you are coming for me, right?"
The man in the black qi sneered and said, "Yes, I came specifically for your Puzhi bald donkey." If it weren't for that, it would not be easy to deal with with your Tianyin Temple Buddhist practice. Okay, now hurry up and hand over the 'Blood Devouring Bead', and I will give you the antidote to the seven-tailed centipede, and spare you from dying!"
Pu Zhi laughed miserably and said: "In vain, there is still a word 'wisdom' in my name, I can't imagine that you refining this poisonous blood banner evil thing, how can you not covet the 'blood devouring bead'." His face was solemn, and he said categorically: "If you want me to give you the most murderous thing in this world, it is delusional." ”
The man in the black air was furious: "Then you go to see your Buddha." The red light flashed, the poisonous blood banner swaggered in the wind, the ghost cried, and the huge ghost creature reappeared, hovering slightly in the air, and rushed towards Puzhi again.
Pu Zhi shouted, his whole body robe was blown up without wind, and his originally thin body seemed to have grown a lot. With the force of his left hand, he only heard a crisp sound, the string of jasper prayer beads had been pinched off for him, and more than a dozen crystal clear prayer beads did not fall, but kept dripping and turning, one by one emitting blue light, floating in front of Pu Zhi, only the dark purple bead, but it fell straight down.
Pu Zhi flipped his palm, grabbed the dark purple beads in his hands, his hands were knotted with water bottle prints on the left and right, his eyes were round, and there was a golden light hidden in his body, and he read word by word in his mouth: "Dying, well, what, horn, mi, moo!"
"The six-character mantra. The tone of the person in the black gas immediately became a little more solemn.
As the word "moo" fell, all the jasper rosaries shone together in an instant, and at the same moment, the ghost thing sacrificed by the evil man had rushed to him, and the bloody breath came to his face. But as soon as he came into contact with the blue light of jasper, he suddenly turned into invisible, unable to move forward, and was frozen in mid-air.
Rao is like this, Pu Zhi's body shook again, the seven-tailed centipede is the most poisonous thing in the world, and with his hundreds of years of practice, it is still difficult to resist. It's just that his faintly black face showed a faint smile, with a bit of awe.
"Phew!"
Pu Zhi shouted, like a lion's roar, the sound shook the four fields, the jasper rosary in front of him was driven by the Buddha's power, and the light was more abundant, and suddenly a rosary shattered with a "poof", and made a "Buddha" word in mid-air, rushed forward, and hit the ghost in the face.
"Wow~~~~~ aw!" the creature howled bitterly, and took a few steps back, his body in a red, apparently wounded. The man in the black air said angrily, "What a bald donkey!"
He was about to move, but he said that it was too late and that it was fast, and in a moment, seven or eight prayer beads were all illusions of Buddhist mantras hitting ghosts. The ghost creature howled non-stop, retreated again and again, made a frightened state, and when it was hit by the ninth jasper rosary, it finally let out a long howl, and its eyes burst into tears, and its bones made a chaotic sound, and it fell to the ground with a "boom", and after struggling a few times, it stiffened and did not move, slowly turning into blood, and the smell was incomparable.
At the same time, Pu Zhi let out a "wow" and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and the face of the blood had become black.
"Ahh
Pu Zhi and the evil man were taken aback, the black air in the sky moved, and Pu Zhi also looked at the door at the same time, only to see the child Zhang Xiaofan who he saw between them, and for some reason came to the front of this grass temple, standing at the door, looking at this strange scene in the temple in amazement.
The man in the black gas snorted coldly, and he didn't see how he moved, and the seven-tailed centipede that had crawled on Lin Jingyu's body suddenly shook its tail, and flew up with the momentum, as fast as lightning, and flew towards that Zhang Xiaofan.
Pu Zhi's eyebrows were raised, and with a finger of his right hand, a jasper rosary rushed forward. The seven-tailed centipede seemed to be psychic, knowing that it was powerful, it didn't dare to resist, and as soon as its tail fluttered, it rushed up like wings, and threw itself into the black air, and there was no sound.
The man in the black qi said: "Hehe, it is indeed worthy of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, and under serious injury, you can still break my 'Poisonous Blood Corpse King', but if you collect the corpse king's blow, and hit the poison of the seven-tailed centipede, how long can it last?" Or obediently give me the 'Blood Devouring Bead'." ”
At this moment, even black blood began to flow from the corners of his eyes, and he laughed miserably and hissed: "Even if Lao Wei dies here today, he will get rid of you, a demon." ”
As soon as the words fell, all the jasper rosaries in front of him lit up at the same time, and the person in the air was immediately on alert, and suddenly there was a roar, and a thing flashed blue light and crashed into the black gas from behind, but it was the jasper rosary that hit the seven-tailed centipede just now, and it flew out of the air, and was secretly controlled by Pu Zhi, folded behind the black qi, and suddenly attacked.
I only heard an angry roar in the black gas, obviously the person was caught off guard, "bang, bang, bang" a few chaotic sounds, the green light flashed, the black gas scattered, and finally scattered everywhere, turning into invisible. A tall and thin man slowly fell from mid-air, his whole body was tightly wrapped in a black robe, he couldn't see his face and age clearly, only a pair of eyes, the fierce light was shining, and behind his back, there was a long sword tied to him.
Pu Zhi said in a low voice: "Your Excellency is doing this, why don't you dare to see people?"
The fierce light flashed in the eyes of the man in black, and he said sharply: "Bald donkey, today you will die without a place to be buried!"
After that, he pulled out the long sword behind his back with a backhand "brush", only to see that the sword was as clear as autumn water, bright and not dazzling, with a faint clear light, attached to it.
"Good sword. Pu Zhi couldn't help but scream.
The man in black snorted, holding the sword trick in his hand, stepping on the seven stars, walking seven steps in a row, the long sword pierced the sky, and there were words in his mouth:
"Nine Heavens Xuansha, turned into divine thunder.
Brilliant Tianwei, lead it with a sword!"
In a moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly surged, the thunder rumbled, and the edge of the black clouds continued to flash with electric light, and the heavens and the earth were slaughtered, and the wind was fierce.
"Excalibur Thunder True Technique!" Pu Zhi's face turned pale as gray in an instant, followed by a kind of surprise, a hint of despair and a little inexplicable fanaticism.
"You are actually a member of the Qingyun Sect!"
