Chapter 17: The Demon Cult is in doubt

However, it was said that Bai Xiao, the head of the Shenxiao Sect, and his apprentices were divided into two ways, looking all the way along the hidden path, and suddenly heard the howling and crying in the canyon......

On the other side of the mountain road. Bai Ling, who grew up in the Shenxiao Sect since he was a child, finally came out once, and he was extremely curious about everything. It also happened to be acting separately with my father, accompanied by several senior brothers with strong martial arts, which can be described as refreshing and in a very good mood.

Jumping around, Bai Ling suddenly mixed a rattan, only to hear a "snort" in the jungle, and a spherical object flew from the side.

Bai Ling turned his head to look, but saw that the spherical object had a pair of triangular ears, saw-shaped teeth, round eyes and long beards, and it was a cat's head.

It's scary enough to suddenly have a cat in the middle of this jungle, and what's even more terrifying is that behind this cat's head, there is only a long "spine"?!

The "spine" was dragging on the ground at this time, coiling around Bai Ling, slowly squirming.

Bai Ling was frightened, screamed, and immediately displayed the "Colorful Butterfly Piercing Flower Step", wanting to rush away. Unexpectedly, he failed to get rid of the entanglement of the "snake cat", but disappeared in front of the eyes of the senior brothers. The "snake cat" was very agile, and it was chasing Bai Ling to the death, neither too close nor thrown off by her......

Bai Ling had already snatched himself several times and couldn't get rid of it, and suddenly he only heard a "click", and the head of the "snake cat" trembled, driving the "spine" on the ground to "click" sound, like the sound of bones breaking and connecting again, and then swinging in the air, circling around Bai Ling.

Bai Ling was shocked in his heart, this posture was a bit like a snake's attack! Didn't it want to lock me up?!

Seeing that the encirclement of the "spine" was getting smaller and smaller, Bai Ling unfolded the "Green Feather Aya" in his hand, swirled around his body, and suddenly wrapped himself into a snow-white cocoon, shining in the moonlight. It is said that this "Emerald Feather Aya" is not only extremely tough, but also the smoothest armor in the world, and no matter how sharp the blade hits it, as long as there is a slight mistake, it will slip through.

The "spine" of the "snake cat" has also been woven into a net at this moment, and it is getting smaller and smaller, and it is about to bind Bai Ling's cocoon. Unexpectedly, the cocoon fell off as soon as it was touched, and after it bounced into the air, it loosened into a ribbon and floated down. Bai Ling was already outside the net, remembering that the cloth had just touched the "spine" of the "snake cat", it felt like a metal material, and guessed that this "snake cat" was most likely a trap beast, not a living creature or a ghost, so his fear was greatly reduced, and he laughed proudly: "Hmph! Just because you are a broken snake cat, you want to capture this girl!" turned around and was about to leave, but there was an explosion behind him......

It turns out that this monster with the body of a cat is called the "Three-Life Snake Cat", and it is a trap beast placed by the "puppet clan" of the Phantom Dragon Palace, made of wood, metal, vines, cow tendons, and gunpowder. The head of the wood carving is equipped with a pulley wrapped around the shaft of the cow tendon, and the outer edge of the pulley is entangled with a vine, which extends to the outside of the head to form the body of a snake, and there are whisker-like wings on the pulley that are connected to the mouth with a buckle structure. On weekdays, the head of the cat is hung from a tree by the body of a snake, and the back of the snake is dragged to the ground nearby. Once a prey hits the snake, the cat's head is torn off, and the cat's head will be chased in the air under the guidance of its wings. Every time the prey hits the snake, the tendons on the pulley will be tightened a little more, and the inclination of the wings and the face of the cat's head will also change, which is the principle of automatic pursuit of the snake and cat.

And the so-called "three lives" means that it has three attack modes: chasing, binding, and exploding. After the snake cat was pulled eight times, the buckle next to the pulley was broken by the elastic force, so the elastic force accumulated on the cow's tendon was released, and the snake body was quickly retracted, the main body of the snake body was vines, and the surrounding area was also covered with wings like ribs, so when the snake body was retracted, it would curl, circle, and intertwine into a net, and the smaller it became, intending to net the prey. Once the snake has caught its prey, or the rattan has been retracted, it will trigger the self-detonation mechanism in the cat's head.

Where did Bai Ling think that this snake cat actually had a back move, at this time he heard the sound of the explosion, turned around and looked, only to see that under the smoke, it was the remains of the snake cat that had been blown to pieces, and he was stunned in place, if he hadn't escaped in time, he was afraid that he had been blown to pieces at this moment......

At the same time, Han Zheng, Ye Feisha and Nie Fan were chasing Bai Ling, when they suddenly heard a "snort", as if something heavy had fallen. In the darkness of the jungle, a pair of green rays suddenly lit up, and when the three of them looked at it, it was a monster with a cat's head and an iron bucket! This monster had no limbs, but it had a bright bayonet around its neck.

Nie Fan's heart sword was already out of its sheath, and he said to the second and third children: "You guys go and chase the little junior sister, leave it to me here!" The three of them looked at each other, and the second and third continued to run forward. Strange to say, the green-eyed cat monster seemed to be unaware of the second and third children, and a pair of green eyes stared straight at the heart sword, and suddenly rushed over. Nie Fan is a low-key person, not a brave and ruthless person, at this time, he doesn't know the situation of the enemy, he doesn't intend to fight head-on, he just wants to drag on for a while, wait for the second and third to go farther, and then get rid of it. So when the cat monster rushed closer, his left foot suddenly flashed sideways. As soon as the cat monster pounced, the barrel leaned back, and the side of the cat's head rushed head-on again.

In this flash, Nie Fan was even more puzzled: this cat monster's body method is so fast, and the internal cultivation should be good, but why can't the heart sword sense it at all, but there is a mysterious external force to attract, the closer the cat monster gets, the stronger the attraction. The cat monster had already rushed again, Nie Fan no longer dodged, pulled by this external force, followed the sword, and stabbed the cat monster in the head.

The heart sword entered the throat, and the green eyes of the cat monster were immediately extinguished, but the body still jumped endlessly. Nie Fan's heart sword was stuck, and his center of gravity was almost unstable between pulling, and in a hurry, he poured the true qi of his whole body into the tip of the sword, using a very lethal "angry sword style". Hearing a loud "boom", the body of the cat monster was exploded by the true qi of the heart sword, and it was split into countless wrecks and fell to the ground. From the mutilated lower body, a black ball flew out and was attached to the heart sword.

Nie Fan was stunned when he saw this, separated the black ball from the heart sword, played with it for a while, and finally suddenly realized: It turns out that this cat monster has such a magnetic bead in its body, no wonder it has been chasing my sword. Early in the morning, this magnetic bead should have been suspended in a high place, pulled by my heart sword, and rolled down into the belly of the cat monster below, and then continued to soar and land, pushing the cat monster to leap around.

"This is a wonderful trap beast!" Nie Fan sighed in his heart, and then frowned again: "Why did this thing appear here?" After a round of investigation, he picked up the broken remains of the cat monster beside him, and after a little combination, he found a dragon-shaped pattern printed on it!

"Oh no!" Nie Fan seemed to realize something, threw the magnetic bead into the bushes, and hurried towards the road ahead.

However, it was said that after Bai Ling got rid of the "three-life snake cat", he continued to move forward, and after about half a pillar of incense, he came to a flat land at the bottom of the valley. I saw a small building not far away, full of plum blossoms, the small building was lit with a dim lonely lamp, and a thin woman figure was reflected in the window shadow, wiping her tears frequently. Bai Ling hid in the grass to observe, and saw the figure of a young child come to the woman's side, snuggling up to her as if comforting in a whisper. The woman, who was supposed to be a mother, obviously didn't want her child to see her sad, so she looked up at the sky, took a few deep breaths, and swallowed the dew in her eyes. She forced a smile, stroked the child's little head and didn't know what to say, and infinite doting jumped into the window.

At the same time, in the ancient temple opposite Xiaozhu, a middle-aged doctor was staring through the window, only to see his face haggard, and his eyes were full of concern.

The woman in the small building obviously felt deeply, afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions, and hurriedly let the child go out to play. As soon as the door opened, the middle-aged healer in the ancient temple opposite dodged away from his gaze. At this moment, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the ancient temple, and three or five figures hurried over and stopped in front of the ancient temple.

The first hunter-like gunman clenched his fists and said, "Don't come unharmed, lord!"

The middle-aged healer in the ancient temple first made a "shhhh

The gunman said admittedly: "My subordinates respectfully ask the lord to take charge of the temple again!"

The middle-aged doctor said: "I have passed on Brother Tu, he has both ability and political integrity......

"Brother Tu has ......," the gunman hissed and interrupted, his tone extremely sad.

The middle-aged doctor was stunned when he heard this: "What's wrong with him?!"

"Since Brother Tu took charge of the temple, he has worked hard and done many great things for the country and the people, and the reputation of my temple has improved. Until three years ago, a person named Mo Xiaorong joined the temple, and I don't know what demon magic he cast, Brother Tu actually favored him, and promoted him again and again, and later promoted him to be the deputy hall master, and he was given full authority to take care of all affairs. After Mo Xiaorong came to power, he acted perversely, not only opposing the imperial court everywhere, but also wantonly expanding his power and annexing small factions...... Seeing that the century-old foundation of the temple is about to be destroyed, and Brother Tu is nowhere to be found, his subordinates want to ask the lord to preside over the overall situation!"

When the middle-aged healer heard about the state of the temple, his brows tightened, and he just wanted to ask for the details, but he was suddenly full of sorrow, and finally he only sighed and said, "The reincarnation of the heavens, the changes in the wind and clouds, are the normal state in the world, why should we go against the sky?"

"Gu Qingsong, you coward!" I saw behind the gunman, a bearded man with a mace in his hand roared angrily.

"Shut up!" the blue-shirted swordsman on the side snapped.

The bearded man was frightened by this drink, and then his face turned red, and his neck was crossed: "Did I say it wrong?!" Back then, just because of his brother's misunderstanding, he blamed himself and ran away, snubbed Miss Murong, and later abdicated and hid in this place where birds don't......

"Smack!" I saw that the spearman in the lead raised his big hand, and a slap fell, and there was a five-finger red mark on the bearded man's face. He was stunned for a moment, and then continued to shout as if he was enraged: "Fight! I Zhou Wusupreme is moving my head, and I still have to say it...... I dare to do it, if I meet a good woman like Miss Murong, I will marry and be my wife!"

The blue-shirted swordsman on the side was already furious, and when he saw the bearded man still yelling and scolding, he immediately starked at him, and the long sword came out of its sheath with a "bang".

At this moment, the temple door opened with a "squeak", and the middle-aged doctor slowly walked out, only to see his temples white and haggard.

Everyone immediately knelt down and called "lord", only the bearded man was still stubborn like a rooster......

The middle-aged healer glanced at everyone and sighed: "Gu is indecisive by nature, and he is by no means a commander...... The temple will depend on you in the future!" said that, his eyes moved to Xiao Zhu opposite, stared at it for a while, and said, "Let's all go back!"

"Lord, Lord!" everyone called urgently, but the temple door was closed again.

The moonlight sprinkled in front of this deserted ancient temple, reflecting a few disappointed figures getting fainter and fainter, and a tired cough came from the temple......

At this time, on the mountain road on the other side of the valley floor, two black shadows also hurried over.

"Why are you in such a hurry to pull me out! Lao Tzu is happy!"

"You don't have big ambitions! Have you seen the signal of the puppet clan? Someone has broken in! Who do you say is so bold right now that they dare to break into the territory of our Phantom Dragon Palace?"

"Oh!

"It's finally not stupid yet! The puppet clan has a lot of broken copper and iron, and they don't chase after them so quickly, it's still our brother's speed! hehe!"

"But this area...... The hall master said not to come in casually......"

"Grass! A broken doctor, he has been retired for several years, and he is afraid of a kidney! As long as he gets the 'Lotus Mirror', our brothers will have the final say in the Phantom Dragon Palace!"

"Big brother, what do you think that?!"

......
