Chapter 96: Dead Friend

Qi Xuansu used his hands to dig up countless broken stones, and the green color underneath finally revealed its true appearance. It was somewhat similar to the knife coins of ancient times, and also like a crescent moon. It was green all over, half transparent, and there were many fine blood threads inside. It was the "Xuanyu".

However, compared with the "Xuanyu" in Fengtai County, this "Xuanyu" had more blood threads inside, and it was already somewhat reddish overall.

Qi Xuansu grasped the "Xuanyu" with a surging heart.

At the same time, on the top of the city wall of Yishan City, two people were looking at the Yulan Temple from afar.

These two people, one shaved his head, wore a cassock, and dressed like a monk. He was the abbot of the temple in Yishan City. His Buddhist name was Zhucheng, but he did not continue to kneel in front of the six-armed statue, but came here.

The other person was dressed as a gentleman, with a square face and big ears, and looked quite wealthy. If Luo Xiao were here, he would recognize this person's identity. He is a famous official in the city named Xia Chang. Unlike the notorious Jiao Dayan, Xia Chang is a well-known philanthropist.

Both of them are members of the Lingshan Witch Cult.

So far, all seven members of the Lingshan Witch Cult have surfaced.

At this time, Zhu Cheng was holding four jade pendants. In addition to his own jade pendant, the other three jade pendants belonged to the Saint, Lin Zhenyuan, and the Scholar, which were exactly the same as the jade pendants found on Bai Yongguan and He Nian.

Xia Chang also had a jade pendant in his hand, which belonged to him. He said regretfully: "The leader gave seven jade pendants, one for each of the seven of us. It's a pity that the jade pendants of Bai Yongguan and He Nian fell into the hands of the Taoists, and the power may be discounted."

Zhu Cheng smiled and said: "Even if it is discounted, it won't be too different. After all, the opponent is not a celestial being."

Xia Chang nodded and handed his jade pendant to Zhu Cheng.

This can be regarded as their last resort, and things did develop in the direction they expected. After the Taoists discovered the abnormality in the Yishan City, they would definitely investigate it to the end, and they would definitely find it in the Buddhist temple. Then they would turn the Buddhist temple into a trap and bury those who were in the way in one fell swoop.

As for the "Xuanyu", Zhu Cheng accidentally found it in a Buddhist cave. He thought it was a treasure and studied it for a long time, but he could not find the way. Later, he found that this strange jade could make the Buddha statue alive, so he buried the "Xuanyu" in the Buddha statue in the main hall of Yulan Temple, and then the Buddha statues in the whole temple came to life.

This was also Zhu Cheng's accidental success. The "Xuanyu" had to be opened by divine power, which was transformed from the power of incense and vows. The Buddha statue was where the power of incense and vows gathered, so the "Xuanyu" was partially opened, but not completely opened.

Zhu Cheng simply used this as bait to lure the Taoists into the Buddhist temple for investigation. After all, anyone could see that the Buddhist temple was strange and it was easy to take it for granted that the Buddhist temple was their base.

Zhu Cheng just missed two people. He did not expect Yan Xiu to enter the Yulan Temple before Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu, nor did he expect the woman in green to come later. According to his assumption, Zhang Yuelu should still be fighting with the Buddha statue at this time. He did not ask the Buddha statue to hurt Zhang Yuelu, but just delay him for a while.

He did not expect Yan Xiu to have defeated the Buddha statue first. Without the Buddha statue's restraint, Zhang Yuelu and others could come and go freely.

Zhu Cheng spread his hands, and the five jade pendants floated in the air by themselves, arranged according to the five elements formation.

Xia Chang turned and left the city.

Zhu Cheng cut his wrist, and saw the blood gushing out of the wound flow back and flew to the jade pendants, stimulating the divine power contained in the five jade pendants.

A blood-colored mist suddenly spread around him.

The abbot of Yulan Temple had a life without many ups and downs. He was born in poverty. When he was two years old, he was sent to the mountains by his parents to become a little monk in order to avoid starvation. The green lamp and the ancient Buddha, day after day, year after year. But the temple was not a pure land. He didn't know how to please his master, and was bullied by his brothers. He knelt in front of the Buddha statue and begged the Buddha for many times, but the Buddha did not respond. So he came into contact with Lingshan Witch Cult by chance and became a member of it.

Then with the help of Lingshan Witch Cult, he first quietly put those brothers who bullied him to death, and gradually became the arm of the master, helping the master to solve problems, doing his best, and finally gained the trust of the master. When the master was transferred to other large temples, he recommended himself to the Buddhist ancestral temple to become the abbot here.

Qingbai Temple, Yulan Temple, Baihu Suo, and local gentry are all their people, and this Yishan City has become their world.

The five jade pendants in front of Zhu Cheng lit up blood-red light at the same time.

Zhu Cheng said softly, "Go."

The five jade pendants flew in five directions, leaving five tail marks, interweaving into a "big" shape, hovering in the north, east, west, southwest, and southeast of Yulan Temple.

The next moment, the five jade pendants exploded at the same time, turning into a mighty blood river waterfall, crashing down to the Yulan Temple below.

It seemed that the whole sky had turned bloody.

The sea of ​​blood was surging, and a disaster was imminent.

Several people in Yulan Temple immediately realized that something was wrong. Zhang Yuelu and the woman in green stopped fighting temporarily without caring about each other.

At this time, the two women were not far from the mountain gate hall. The woman in green was the first to flee outside, but Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment. She wanted to find Qi Xuansu, but she saw Qi Xuansu rushing out of the main hall and shouted, "I'll go from the other side, you hurry up too."

Zhang Yuelu no longer hesitated and rushed out.

The so-called Mountain Gate Hall is similar to the gatehouse of a wealthy family. There are two statues of Vajra Warriors in the hall. They are majestic, glaring at each other, holding vajra to scare away demons and monsters. Because the left Vajra Warrior has an angry look and an open mouth, while the right Vajra Warrior has an angry face and closed lips, they are also called the two generals of Heng and Ha. Heng means closing the mouth and Ha means opening the mouth.

At this time, the main hall where Qi Xuansu was located was still some distance away from the Mountain Gate Hall, so he had no time to meet up with Zhang Yuelu. Instead, it was shorter to leave the Yulan Temple along the original route.

Just as Qi Xuansu was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt a pain in his back. Someone hit him hard on the back.

Qi Xuansu immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and his five internal organs were injured.

Qi Xuansu turned his head with difficulty and saw that the person who attacked was Monk Yanxiu.

At this time, Monk Yanxiu had lost his immaturity just now, and only gloomy and fierceness remained.

"You!" Qi Xuansu was shocked and angry. He never thought that he, a veteran in the martial arts world, would be wrong and fall into the trap of this little monk.

Yanxiu sneered and said, "Let me tell you that this is the power of the ancient fairy Wu Luo. This ancient fairy likes to sacrifice people with blood. When her power comes to the world, she must see blood and die, otherwise she will not stop until she dies. Now there are four people in the temple, and you have the lowest cultivation. If you don't do this scapegoat, who else will do it?"

After saying that, Yanxiu kicked Qi Xuansu to the ground and was about to leave.

Qi Xuansu fell to the ground and vomited blood.

However, at the critical moment of life and death, Qi Xuansu also burst out with a fierce force. His right hand still held the "Xuanyu" tightly, and his left hand desperately grabbed Yanxiu's ankle to prevent him from leaving.

Even if he died, he would drag Yanxiu to die here together.

Yanxiu turned his head suddenly, his expression was ferocious and terrifying.

...

After Zhang Yuelu escaped from Yulan Temple, he looked back suddenly.

Five blood-colored waves fell from the sky, completely submerging the Yulan Temple.

If she stayed in the temple, even if she was a banished immortal in the return to the true stage, she would be buried here, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Then, Zhang Yuelu was a little worried again.

I don't know if Qi Xuansu escaped. If she stayed inside, she would definitely die.

The woman in green stopped not far away, with a complicated look.

At this time, she gradually came to her senses. I'm afraid that this mission has failed.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

Zhang Yuelu said coldly: "Zhang Yue, the Taoist priest of the Taoist sect, will ask for advice later."

The woman in green said calmly: "Qingping Society Xie Qiuniang, waiting at any time."

Zhang Yuelu was slightly startled, and then reacted. The woman in green reported not her real name, but a ci tune name. "Xie Qiuniang" is also known as "Wang Jiangnan", because the poet has a ci that chants "Jiangnan is good", and the last sentence is "Can I not remember Jiangnan?", so it is still the famous "Remembering Jiangnan".

Xie Qiuniang looked at Zhang Yuelu deeply, holding a soft sword, and slowly retreated.

Zhang Yuelu was worried about Qi Xuansu's safety and did not pursue.

The many Qingluan Guards who were originally surrounding the mountain also saw this strange phenomenon and did not dare to approach.

However, the Blood River Waterfall did not overflow the scope of Yulan Temple, but was only confined within the temple wall.

Separated by a wall, there are two worlds. Outside the wall is still a bright world, but inside the wall has become a bloody world. Everything is stained with a layer of rich blood, even the world is no exception.

In the other direction of Yulan Temple, a figure dangerously swept out of Yulan Temple. If he was slower, he would be swallowed by the rolling blood.

This person is Monk Yanxiu. After landing awkwardly, he rolled down the mountain due to the huge inertia, and finally hit a big tree heavily before stopping.

Yanxiu slowly got up with the help of the tree trunk, looked up at Yulan Temple, which was already shrouded in blood, and the expression on his face seemed to be happy and sad.

The reason why he was able to deceive Qi Xuansu was because what he said was true. He did find out that something was wrong with this temple because he was planning to hang up a sign, and he entered the Buddhist temple with the idea of ​​exorcising demons.

But these are not in conflict with the idea of ​​"I would rather die than die as a Taoist friend".

The Taoist sect has four levels of merit, "Heaven and Earth", the Qingping Society has merit, and the Buddhist sect also has merit.

It is not shameful to accumulate merit by exorcising demons.

But he is a dignified Buddhist

, how can he die in such a place? And that Qi Xuansu is just a low-grade Taoist priest, so he will die if he dies.

Then he slowly lowered his head.

I saw that he was holding a palm tightly on his ankle.

This palm was cut off from the wrist, and the five fingers almost pierced into his flesh and blood, but he still refused to let go.

Yanxiu sneered, leaned over and pried open the five fingers of the palm on his ankle one by one, and then strode away.
