Chapter 37: The Dark Shadow
According to Xiao Maitreya, this Wu Youdao is already more than ninety years old, although the Taoist is white, but he looks at most sixty or seventy years old, he waved at everyone, and said calmly: "Fusheng immeasurable Tianzun, at this time the sky will be late, the old Taoist needs to prepare one or two, and when the moonlight comes up, he will open the practice, and the laymen will please." ”
The old Taoist priest seemed to be quite familiar with this place, and he no longer surveyed the location, only took out some rune paper from the sleeve of his Taoist robe and began to read something vigorously.
Chen Yan and Shen Juan retreated some distance backwards and looked at the old Taoist priest from afar.
At this time, Xiao Maitreya whispered on the side, "Wu Daochang is a real Taoist master, and he never values money, such as inviting him down the mountain this time, he will not accept incense money, just give him some food." ”
"A few decades ago, someone found that there were still people living in the Taoist temple on the mountain, so he asked him why he was still sweeping the floor at such an old age, what about the other people in the Taoist temple, Wu Daochang said, the master and the brothers went down the mountain to resist R, saying that they would return in the prosperous era, but now it is a prosperous age, but the master and the senior brothers have never returned, and I am alone here. ”
"Alas!" Xiao Maitreya sighed heavily and said: "In troubled times, Taoist priests go down the mountain to save the world, monks close the door to avoid trouble, Taoist priests in prosperous times return to the mountains, and monks go out to swagger. Everyone in the mine called me Xiao Maitreya Xiao Maitreya, but I actually didn't feel much, but when I saw Wu Daochang at this time, I felt that when I heard these three words, my face hurt a little when I heard these three words. ”
Xiao Maitreya subconsciously touched his fat face, then took out a cigarette and lit it, and after taking a heavy puff, he sighed: "In the prosperous world, Buddhism is prosperous, and Taoism hides alone in the deep mountains." The Bodhisattva in troubled times doesn't ask about things, and Lao Jun carries a sword to save the vicissitudes of life. ”
Chen Yan listened noncommittally, if you really want to talk about it, he is also a Taoist priest, but since he entered the Zhengyi Temple and began to practice, he is already an outsider, everything in this world has its own arrangements, and it cannot be interfered with.
It was getting late, Shen Juan and Xiao Maitreya and the others were ordinary people after all, they were already hungry, and after hurriedly eating some convenient food, the moonlight began to quietly climb up the tree.
At this time, the incantation recited in Wu Youdao's mouth stopped abruptly in an instant, and he threw the rune in his hand into the sky, and with a bang, all the runes burned, leaving only the ashes to fall slowly.
Just as all the ashes were falling, there was a sudden whimpering wind around them.
Some of the clouds also obscured the moonlight, leaving only the mine in the outermost part of the mine and the big lights on.
Wu Youdao pinched his fingers and calculated, but his face slowly became difficult to look at.
Suddenly, his left hand went around behind him and patted, the sword behind him flew out suddenly, and it happened to fall in front of him, he held his left hand forward, and caught the sword, he bit the index finger of his right hand, and drew runes on the sword with blood, and then changed the sword again, slashed into the air, and shouted: "Evil animal, hide in the dark and sneak, and don't show up." ”
As if feeling Wu Youdao's intimidation, a black shadow flashed in front of everyone and ran towards the mine.
Wu Youdao jumped forward, his figure was not like an old man at all, and he followed the black shadow with great agility.
To be bad!
Chen Yan had already known that the black shadow was staring at them from the side, but he couldn't tell what kind of beast that black shadow was for a while, and when he saw Wu Youdao chasing after him, he knew that he was deceived by the black shadow, making Wu Youdao mistakenly think that he was deterred by him before fleeing in a panic.
But Wu Youdao had never noticed that the black shadow paused after walking a few steps, as if waiting for him.
"Wait here, don't come along, and if you hear anything unusual, hide in the car and don't come out. ”
Chen Yan instructed Shen Juan, although it was unlikely that there would be any more danger around him, he was afraid of curiosity about everything, and he couldn't take care of so much at that time. Chen Yan said, and followed Wu Youdao unhurriedly towards the inside of the cave.
The cave of this antimony mine is not big, about two meters in diameter, there is a railroad track in the middle, and there is a dim lamp on the top of the three or five meters apart, although it is not too real to illuminate the surroundings, but for Chen Yan, whether there is a light or not is actually the same, with the strength of his Yuan Infant Realm, his divine consciousness can already be placed two or three miles around, within the scope of his divine consciousness, everything cannot escape his perception.
Wu Youdao was less than thirty meters away from him in front, and he had heard Shen Juan say that the crystal nucleus was found in the mine more than two hundred meters deep, and at this time it had been about one hundred and fifty or sixty meters deep, and when it was almost two hundred meters away, there were three forks in the mine, and Chen Yan clearly knew that there were many forks behind these three forks.
At this time, the black shadow leading the way at the front began to take Wu Youdao around in circles, Chen Yan retracted his breath, began to hide his figure, and stood in place waiting for the black shadow to end the circle.
Wu Youdao followed the black shadow all the way, and at first he really thought that the other party was taken by his deterrence, so he fled in a panic, but just following it, he noticed that something was wrong, some forks were obviously just walked, and two forks had already been walked three or four times.
"The thunder of heaven and the earth are on fire, and the evil in the world is destroyed, and the urgency is like a law. OK!"
Then he stopped, took out a rune from his sleeve, recited a spell, and then drove the rune into the cave wall, and a burst of fire flashed, and then divided into several paths, and shot out along each fork, illuminating each fork in an instant.
The black shadow seemed to be also startled by Wu Youdao's hand, and it felt that since it had been discovered by the other party, it would no longer hide it.
Suddenly, the black shadow suddenly burst into speed, several times faster than a high-speed vehicle.
Not only that, but in the blink of an eye, the black shadow rushed to Wu Youdao, and then stopped instantly, from extreme movement to extreme quiet, tossing and turning, extremely relaxed.
The shadow had not yet revealed its true body, but it had a head, four legs, and a tail in the outline, about the size of a three- or four-month-old puppy.
It tilted its head and squatted in place to look at Wu Youdao, looking very curious.
"Puff..."
The black shadow spat at Wu Youdao like spitting twice, but two air masses flew out of its mouth, and the speed of the air masses was extremely fast.
Wu Youdao had the intention to dodge, but the angle of the air mass spit out by this black shadow was extremely tricky, and Wu Youdao only had time to dodge one of them, only to see a bang, and an air mass was nailed into the wall, and it did not enter more than ten centimeters.
And the air mass that hit Wu Youdao's body hit him straight between his waist and abdomen, but fortunately, Wu Youdao turned sideways at the critical moment, and the air mass was just inserted into his skin, even so, it tore its clothes directly out of a hole, and a trace of blood also appeared on the clothes under the hole.
"Evil beast, I underestimated you. ”
Wu Youdao looked a little angry, until now, he hadn't noticed this black shadow, he was actually teasing him.
