Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

The old monk Yue Chan stood up weakly and said with great self-reproach:"It was all my carelessness that harmed my fellow disciples in the temple and even brought the master into trouble."

Liao Chen sighed:"Buddha friends, please don't say that. Faced with such It's already very difficult for you to save these three children in such a situation."

The three young novice monks also cried, gathered around the old monk Yue Chan, and weakly whispered"Master".

Yue Chan weakly touched the head of the tallest young monk next to him with his hand, and said reproachfully:"……I thought it was just the poison of the witchcraft that caused me to behave strangely, but I never imagined that it was a monster causing trouble. I had just sent the letter, and they...they were so bold that they came directly to kill me. How could I have imagined that Master Shangzong would actually be with these monsters! Actually, actually do such an unscrupulous thing! Cough cough cough! Ahem……"The more Yue Chan talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more distressed he became. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and started coughing violently.

"Master Yue Chan!"

"Buddhist friends, don’t get excited! Liao Chen, who knew a little about Qi Huang, held Yue Chan's veins and directed Zhong Wanling to use his spiritual power to protect Yue Chan's heart veins,"Master Zhong Xian, the Qi is flowing away from Xin Yu, protect the Shentang!""

The three young novices anxiously surrounded the old monk Yue Chan, pulling at the hem of the old monk's clothes, calling"Master, Master". The youngest one almost cried. After a while, Yue Chan's breath finally calmed down. Their expressions softened a bit. Liao Chen and Zhong Wanling breathed a sigh of relief.

Liao Chen supported the wall, wiped his sweat, looked at Zhong Wanling and praised again:"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Master Zhongxian is young, but his Qihai is astonishingly powerful."

Zhong Wanling looked at his hands, lowered his head and thought deeply, and murmured:"It's strange.……"

Liao Chen seemed to understand Zhong Wanling's doubts and said,"That's poison."

Zhong Wanling looked at Chen in surprise and asked,"But that breath has its own rhythm, which is different from Master Yue Chan's spirit essence. Feel……"

"Like the spirit of a demon?"Lie Chen asked questions instead of answers.

"right! It’s the spirit of a demon! Zhong Wanling said firmly,"But didn't you say you were poisoned?""Zhong Wanling's eyes became sharp, the guard in his heart was revealed for a moment, and his aura suddenly became fierce.

"Master?!"Mu Xiaochuan was startled. This momentum meant that Zhong Wanling was hostile. But for no reason, why would Zhong Wanling be hostile to these people, let alone his uncle among them.

Liao Chen held the candlestick with one hand. He raised his palm and said comfortingly:"Master Zhongxian, please be patient and don't be impatient."The situation here is mysterious, and it is under Pingyang Temple. It is understandable for Zhong Wanling to be wary."You should know that the poisonous skills performed by some high-level demons will add essence and demonic energy, and can even be hidden in the recipient's body. , let it control.

Amitabha, Master Zhongxian, have you ever heard of 'The Weaver Girl of the Mingshan Mountain' and 'The Thousand-footed Lord of the Nite Rock'?’？"

Zhong Wanling's aura was still fierce, her beautiful eyes were slightly lowered, and she thought carefully, but her words did not stop due to the influence of her thoughts."‘The Rock-gnawing Thousand-foot Lord is a monster below the earth level. He has no intelligence and infinite power. He looks like a centipede and has an indestructible body. He can bite rocks and rocks, and penetrate mountains and crack the earth. He is a special monster in the Demon Realm. 'The Weaver Girl of the Mingshan Mountain' is on the earth level, close to the heaven level. Its nature is difficult to determine. Some people say it is a spider-like monster, others say it is a demon who is good at possession, and some even say it is a demon who can control people with silk threads. Even if It is rare in the Demon Realm, and of course no one has ever seen it in the Mortal Realm. Both are indeed toxic."

Liao Chen knew what Zhong Wanling meant: these two demons are exclusive to the Demon Realm and cannot appear in the mortal world."What if there are immortal cultivators guarding the thieves and bringing them into the mortal world? Zhong

Wanling's eyes narrowed,"You mean, the Immortal Master of Shangzong who destroyed Pingyang Temple?""

Yue Chan struggled excitedly again, and squeezed Mu Xiaochuan's arm tightly with his skinny hands. The force was so strong that Mu Xiaochuan even hissed softly."Yes! Master Zhongxian... Master Zhongxian! It's that person! It was that person who took my disciple’s life to force me, forced me……"Yue Chan's voice lowered, he let go, feeling deeply guilty. The three young novice monks surrounded the old monk Yue Chan and looked at Chen imploringly. They seemed to understand what Yue Chan said and begged master and disciple Chen for forgiveness."If it hadn't been like this, the three of us, Master Liaochen, wouldn't be in jail like me.……"

Liao Chen patted Yue Chan on the shoulder and said comfortingly:"Amitabha, fellow Buddha, so many days have passed, why are you still so worried about this? I have told you many times that I knew at that time that you were forced to.The cult has a large number of people, and there are so many masters to help. Our masters and disciples are not their opponents."

"But if it weren't for me, you could have escaped from here...ahem! Yue Chan felt sad.

Liao Chen patted his back to calm him down and persuaded him:"Seeing the situation in Pingyang Temple, there is no way we can just sit idly by and do nothing.""

Zhong Wanling asked a completely different question:"Then why didn't they kill you? Not only will they not kill you, but they will also give you food and drink?"

"Master!"Mu Xiaochuan simply couldn't understand Zhong Wanling's almost cold question. These monks were pitiful enough, how could she doubt them and ask such a question. Isn't this the same as saying"Why don't you die"!

Zhong Wanling did n't even think about it. Ignoring Mu Xiaochuan's stop, he looked calmly but sharply at the group of monks in front of him. Liao Chen patted his hot-tempered nephew on the back and said comfortingly:"Master Zhongxian's suspicion is very reasonable, and he is defensive. It’s indispensable."Then he met Zhong Wanling's gaze. Liaochen's expression was indifferent and his eyes were clear, like a Bodhisattva."What Master Zhong Xian said makes sense. I also think their treatment of us is very strange, but I still can't understand it clearly. Maybe they want to use us as hostages to trick more Buddhist friends from Mount Wutai to come; maybe they want to refine us into monsters like those believers; or they have other intentions. Regardless of our physical condition or the unknown reason why they imprisoned us, taking us to escape is indeed risky for Master Zhongxian and Xiaochuan."

"Master Liaochen, don't say that, we won't leave you alone."After Mu Xiaochuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Wanling. To be honest, he was getting more and more confused about this woman he had known for many years. But he thought that since Zhong Wanling even wanted to protect the villagers outside, there was no reason why he would let her go. These monks didn't care.

Zhong Wanling frowned and said quickly in a low voice:"Let's talk after we get out, someone is coming down."

Mu Xiaochuan subconsciously wanted to extinguish the candle. Zhong Wanling waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, and then used a gesture to let Chen continue to find the way. The others quickly stood up and followed closely.

Zhong Wanling closed his eyes slightly and carefully felt the distance. The movement confirmed the suspicion in my heart and caught up with the dust.

"What basis do you have for saying these people are monsters?"

Liao Chen didn't know what Zhong Wanling meant, and couldn't describe it for a moment.

Zhong Wanling asked,"Do those people have different night vision abilities than ordinary people, and they don't need firelight in the cave?"

Liao Chen nodded in agreement."Yes, they were demonized by the Mingshan Weaver Girl. There was almost no movement during the day. They never lit up lights at night or in this cave, but their movements were not hindered, just like people living in the cave. Bat-like"

"Not a bat, but a spider. Zhong Wanling lowered his voice and said,"Don't worry about the candlelight, just use it." Zhong Wanling thought for a moment and then said:"They should rely on smell and vibration to judge.""

That's what he said. The seven people in Liaochen have been locked in a cage. They haven't seen the light for many days. They can only hear the sound to identify the general direction, but they don't know the specific path. Not long after the nine people left, There were three forks in the road ahead, one seemed flat, one was slightly upward, and the other was downward. The echo of the cave gradually became lively, and it seemed that many people entered the cave. The group also became nervous, and the three young people The novice monk pulled the cassock of the old monk Yue Chan and huddled up.

Zhong Wanling stood in front of the three forks, using his spiritual power to sense.

Mu Xiaochuan asked anxiously:"How is it?""

Zhong Wanling shook his head."None of the three are dead ends. The left turn will not take long and will return to the place we just walked."

Liao Chen and others couldn't help but be surprised by the scope of Zhong Wanling's inspiration. Mu Xiaochuan had become accustomed to it."If it's not this, then there are only two paths left, up and down."

Mu Xiaochuan thought for a while."Let's go up. We will go downhill when we come down."

Zhong Wanling shook his head, turned around and asked Chen Qi."When do they usually deliver food to you?"

The human voices in the echo were getting closer and closer. Mu Xiaochuan became anxious and lowered his voice to persuade:"How can we know the time if we can't see the sun here. Master, let's go quickly, they are getting closer. And you said this upward road is not a dead end."

"But there could also be a way back."Zhong Wanling looked back at the tired and weak monks, and then looked at the anxious Mu Xiaochuan,"It's just you and me. No matter how many people come from the other side, we don't need to be afraid. But if we are besieged now, how confident are you that we can protect everyone? How many people can you bring to escape?"

I'm afraid it will be difficult for just one person. Mu Xiaochuan was speechless.

"And after escaping once, no matter what purpose they had before, they had not killed anyone, and this time, they would never leave these people alive."

Mu Xiaochuan's back felt cold, and he looked in shock at Zhong Wanling, who took the candlestick and studied the two roads after saying this. He really didn't understand why this person could always draw such unfounded and terrifying conclusions. But Liao Chen, Yue Chan and the two young monks clasped their hands and recited the Buddha's name, seeming to agree with Zhong Wanling's point of view.

Liao Chen thought for a while and said with some uncertainty:"Master Zhong Xian, the question you just asked, I think they deliver meals during the day, but I can't be sure because……"

"Because the Hades Weaver Girl and her relatives should not be able to move around in the daylight?"Zhong Wanling expressed Liao Chen's doubts.

Liao Chen nodded.

"Maybe they have a way to avoid light, or maybe they are not the Weaver Girl of Hades Mountain. Zhong Wanling thought for a while and confirmed again,"Are you sure it's daytime?""

Liao Chen nodded again, this time much more firmly.

Zhong Wanling muttered:"The wind blows in the night and the dragon rises in the sun. This is the downward line."As he said that, he asked the group of people to quickly go to the cave on the far right.
