When Golden Finger Meets Salted Fish

At this time, the hall was still in darkness, and the only light came from the flame whip of the third elder. The fire light reflected on the damaged face of the stone statue, making it flickering and flickering, making it even more eerie and terrifying.

Seeing such a scene unexpectedly, Jiang Mo couldn't help feeling a little nervous. And she was not bad, because she couldn't bear to watch the old monk being whipped before, so she closed her eyes and didn't look at it much. But Yun Qingyue and others were different. They saw the old monk transformed into a stone statue in an instant, and then his face was damaged by the whip of the third elder, and they were even more surprised.

However, the third elder was "bold with high skill", or he had seen too many weird and secret things, so he was not moved when he saw the old monk turned into a stone statue. Seeing that the frequency of her whipping hasn't changed at all, she doesn't intend to stop regardless of whether the old monk in front of her is a man or a ghost.

There was a "pop", and another whip was slammed down.

Jiang Mo's eyelids twitched, and he always felt that this time was different. Although there was a stone statue in front of him, it was not like the old monk who could not fight back.

Sure enough, just as the third elder's long flaming whip swung in front of the stone statue, the stone statue actually moved. It quickly raised its hand and grabbed the flaming whip, which struggled endlessly in its hand like a spirit snake.

In the next second, sparks flew everywhere, but the stone statue crushed the long whip made of flames.

None of Jiang Mo and the others were uninformed, and with this move alone, they knew that the strength of the stone statue was definitely not inferior to the third elder. At least not below the strength shown by the third elder at this time.

The third elder was obviously aware of this, and her expression changed slightly, but although her expression was dignified, she was not panicked. With a flick of the remaining half of the long whip in his hand, the crushed flames gathered again. Although the appearance of the flames had not strengthened, the power contained in them had clearly increased a lot. It can be seen from this that she did not try her best before, and she is not afraid of the strength shown by the stone statue at this moment.

Soon, the long whip in the hands of the third elder was drawn towards the stone statue again, and the raging flames lit up half of the palace.

Jiang Mo and the others followed the firelight to look, but saw that the stone statue still did not dodge or avoid, but the ferocious face seemed to come alive, and the corners of its mouth were pulled up to show a smile. It's just that that smile is so weird no matter how you look at it, and how it makes your back feel chills.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, the stone statue disappeared, and at the same time as the third elder's whip failed, a strange figure appeared behind her. If she felt it, when she subconsciously retreated to avoid it, her free left hand struck back at the same time.

This blow hits, even if it is a hasty response, the power of the blow of a monk in the integration stage cannot be underestimated. However, only the third elder knew clearly that her blow seemed to have hit the hardest magic weapon. Instead of causing any harm to the opponent, her own arm was convulsed—from her elbow to her palm, her left and right were numb. , I can't even feel the pain, let alone use half of my strength.

The third elder's expression finally changed slightly, and You You inadvertently glanced at the stone statue as he retreated. Obviously the stone statue's eyes were all carved out of stone, but she saw a sense of malice in them.

She suddenly remembered that there is not only this old monk in this temple, but also many monks who give evening classes in the main hall in the evening!

The third elder was taken aback, but the stone statue would not give her a chance to think wildly, and quietly appeared beside her again. When the third elder noticed, the hand of the stone statue had already grabbed her.

When the blood suddenly appeared, there were several wounds on the third elder's chest, and the location of the injury was a little subtle, but none of the people present would think wildly. Although Gein's injury is subtle, it is also a vital point. If the third elder reacts slowly, he is afraid that he will be taken to heart.

The third elder held his wound and took a few steps back. Apart from the sticky blood under his palm, his heart was beating non-stop.

Before coming here, the third elder didn't know much about this unnamed temple, and he just knew that this temple was haunted, but he didn't know much about its danger. But since the Zongmen sent her out, this place is obviously not a good place to gnaw, so she was fully prepared for the danger here, and she was even more energetic at the moment.

I saw her palming, and at the same time as the flame whip dissipated, there was already a string of rosary beads in her hand-the Buddha's light suddenly appeared, and the Sanskrit sound was faint. This is clearly a magic weapon commonly used by Buddhist practitioners, and it is somewhat against harmony to appear in the hands of the third elder.

However, if it violates the harmony and does not violate the harmony, it is good to be practical.

The stone statue was originally transformed by the old monk, who was beaten by the third elder before, and he still has the body of Buddha's light on his body. But at this time, facing the string of rosary beads blooming with Buddha's light, the stone statue seemed to have encountered a natural enemy. Before, it was fierce and looked like it wanted to leave the third elder behind, but now it retreated into the darkness, vaguely The stone statue could be seen raising its hand to cover its face.

Seeing that the rosary was useful, the third elder immediately took advantage of the momentum and pulled the rosary towards the Buddha statue with a wave of his hand.

Seeing this, the stone statue dodged a few times. It was already elusive, and even if it tried to hide, it would not be able to catch up to it. However, the stone statue has lost its human skin, as if it had taken off all the shackles. Not only has it become weird and fierce, but it is also completely impatient—the rosary in the hands of the third elders does have a deterrent effect on the stone statue. The stone statue wounded or frightened it away, but it aroused its ferocity even more.

Seeing the fierce light in the stone statue's eyes, Jiang Mo and the others yelled inwardly. Sure enough, the next time he saw that the stone statue stopped hiding, he raised his hand to block the incoming rosary, and with his free hand, he once again reached for the third elder's heart.

This turn of events happened so quickly that Jiang Mo and the others were caught off guard for the Third Elder.

Fortunately, the Third Elder is not a fledgling, and has rich combat experience. When the palm of the stone statue grabbed her, she saw a flash of spiritual light in the position of her heart, not only blocking the stone statue's hand back, but hurting the other party.

In a trance, everyone seemed to hear a dull howl.

Jiang Mo and the others took a closer look, only to see that half of the stone statue's heart-pull palm was missing. The gap was dark, as if it had been cut by some extremely high-temperature sharp blade, and the broken part was burned by the way. As for the other arm of the stone statue to block the rosary beads, it didn't go well. The rosary beads hit it more severely than the flame whip, and the "monk's robe" on its arm was smashed to pieces.

It was obvious that the stone statue suffered from this attack, but instead of shrinking back because of this, the stone statue became more aggressive. There was a red light in its eyes, whether it was the cut off half of the palm or the shredded "monk clothes", they all recovered as before.

The only thing that hasn't changed is the damage on his cheek, which remains ferocious.

When Jiang Mo saw this scene suddenly, he felt familiar, as if he had returned to the battle against the Yellow Sand Puppet.

But obviously, this stone statue is not a puppet, it is a spirit like the rest of the monks in this temple. It's just that it's hard to say what other spirits are, but this one in front of me seems to have become an evil spirit, very fierce!

***************************************************** ***************

Jiang Mo and the others followed the three elders into the Daxiong Palace, and their minds were soon completely attracted by the fighting sides, and they knew nothing about what happened outside the hall. And the third elder, who was fighting the stone statue, naturally couldn't spare any effort to care about the outside world.

Outside the main hall, in the darkness, scattered Jiuyouzong monks were quickly searching the entire temple.

These monks are not low in cultivation, they move as fast as the wind, and they don't make a sound. At the beginning, everything went smoothly. The small temple was almost turned upside down by them. Even the bluestone floor tiles on the ground were turned up for a look. Afterwards, finding nothing was found, the stone brick was laid back again, and it was restored as before.

But gradually, everyone found that the atmosphere around them was a bit wrong—the silence is normal, they were careful not to make any sound, and there were no insects in the temple in the desert. But I don't know when, even the wind around me disappeared, and the complete silence made people panic.

After the search was fruitless, the scattered monks gradually gathered together again.

Seeing that the third elder did not show up on time, everyone felt flustered after waiting for a while. Coupled with the fact that the atmosphere was not right, someone reached out and touched the furry hairs on his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think something is wrong?"

The monks have a keen sense. In fact, everyone has felt it, but they don't know what to do except to be on guard.

Someone subconsciously took a look outside the temple, and beyond the two or three tall walls, the towering sand dunes could be vaguely seen outside. This height, this distance, is almost negligible for monks, and it seems that wanting to get out of this temple is just a matter of thought. This disturbing heart calmed down a bit, but after counting the number of people, it was found that there were a few people missing.

It is normal to have fewer people, except for the third elder, Jiang Mo and others are still hiding in the Daxiong Palace to watch the excitement. However, there were more than five of them. They counted them, and they suddenly lost seven people!

This ignited the panic in everyone's hearts. Someone suggested in a low voice: "What about the third elder is not something we can worry about, but should we go and find out about the others? If the third elder comes back and finds that there are so many people missing, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble." Blame..."

These words made sense, and just as everyone wanted to agree, they suddenly became alert.

Cultivators are very concerned about intuition, especially those who have advanced cultivation and have experienced life and death, not to mention how many lives have been saved by intuition. At the moment they didn't think about it, so they tried their best to avoid or defend, and all kinds of colors suddenly lit up in the temple.

There were also two who reacted slower, or they had not experienced enough dangers, their movements were half a beat slower, and they had no chance to make a move—the slender palms protruded from their chests, and their fair skin was covered with blood. There was a living heart beating vigorously in that hand, as if it was still struggling to save its life. But the astonishment in the eyes of the owner of the heart did not diminish, but gradually faded away.

A person without a heart cannot live, but for a successful monk, there is a second possibility of survival.

The monks in the out-of-body period not only have the Nascent Soul, but also cultivated the Nascent Soul. After they die, they have the opportunity to be reborn. It's a pity that the sneak attackers didn't give them this chance at all, a dark color immediately engulfed the person who had just died, not to mention the Nascent Soul, not even a single strand of hair was spared. In an instant, there were no traces of the dead left behind.

The people who saw this scene were shocked, and when they turned around to flee, they found many figures quietly appearing behind them. Those figures couldn't see their faces clearly, but they surrounded them, and there seemed to be cold eyes on them in the darkness.

Rao is a group of demon cultivators, seeing this scene suddenly felt a sudden shock in their hearts, and someone couldn't help shouting: "Get out!"

I don't know who yelled this, but when everyone's lives were threatened, he couldn't remember what tasks he had on him, and he didn't have time to think about the consequences of the third elder knowing about it. Almost everyone chose to retreat immediately, and the direction of their retreat was no exception. They all went towards the outside of the temple—they couldn't see the faces of those figures clearly in the night, but the bald heads under the moonlight They all saw it!

Everyone knows that this temple is eccentric, and no one does not understand the truth of seeking wealth in danger. Since they came, it meant they chose to take risks, but they didn't expect this place to be so dangerous.

Cultivators in the out-of-body stage fall into the hands of these monks who don't know whether they are human or ghosts, and killing people with their hearts is no different from killing chickens!

The demon cultivators didn't have the determination to die for the task, and they scattered one by one, and the fastest runner rushed to the wall of the temple in the blink of an eye. He might have also guessed that the temple wall might be tricky, so he didn't just rush forward blindly. While running, he also took out his own treasured top-grade broken formation awl and pierced forward.

This formation-breaking awl was of a high grade, which was obtained by the demon cultivator by accident. It could not only be used to break the formation, but also applicable to barriers and the like. Moxiu escaped many dangers because of this, thinking that it would be the same this time, but unexpectedly he took out the formation-shattering awl and plunged headfirst, but still hit hard.

The man was stunned for a while, but the people who came after had seen the lesson learned from the past, and immediately tried their best to break the barrier.

However, seven or eight spiritual lights collided with the barrier, and the latter didn't react at all, just like fireworks colliding with glass, it exploded in mid-air. Someone who reacted quickly thought of the temple gate immediately, turned around and rushed over.

The gate of the temple has not disappeared, it is still there, as if you can escape from the sky as long as you open the gate.

However, the black shadow that was chasing after him did not give them this chance. The fingertips of the fastest runner had clearly touched the door bolt, but at the last moment, the black shadow caught up and entangled him, and then he was getting closer and closer to the temple gate. farther away...

The quiet temple was no longer quiet, the sounds of fighting and shouting rang out.

***************************************************** *********************

The gate of the Daxiong Palace is like an enchantment. No matter how noisy the outside was, the small temple was almost destroyed, and the people inside couldn't hear it at all, including Zhu Baiyi, a Mahayana monk, who didn't notice it.

Most of the people's attention is still focused on one person and one spirit who are fighting, as for the remaining half... They are not just here to watch the fun. Originally, they came here to explore the secrets of this temple. Now that the three elders helped them hold down the stone statue, they naturally couldn't let go of such a good opportunity, and secretly began to check the secrets of the Great Hall.

On one side, the three elders fought fiercely with the stone statue, and on the other side, the four carefully circled the main hall and began to inspect it. Just looking at it, Jiang Mo always had the illusion of being like a light on his back.

She touched her arm and turned to look at her senior sister, as if she wanted to ask her if she felt it.

However, before she could turn her head, Yun Qingyue grabbed her arm and stopped her from moving forward. She looked back in doubt, but saw Yun Qingyue's expression was serious, her eyes fixed on behind her.

A layer of white sweat appeared on Jiang Mo's back in an instant, and his scalp felt like it was going to explode. Like all frightened felines, she jumped up in an instant, and almost subconsciously jumped behind the senior sister, instinctively feeling that it was the safest place. After regaining consciousness, he felt that he was too cowardly, so he hurriedly came out from behind the senior sister again, this time blocking in front of the other party.

This series of actions is a long story, but it only takes one or two breaths to actually happen. After Jiang Mo held up his courage to block the senior sister behind him, and then looked forward, he saw a small Buddha statue where the senior sister's eyes fell.

There are Buddha statues in the temple, which is quite normal. Although they didn't take a closer look at the Daxiong Hall, they can find that there are many Buddha statues enshrined in it at a glance. It's just that the one in front of me is a bit weird, not only the location is wrong, the size is wrong, even the material is not right - most of the Buddha statues in this temple are bronze statues and gold statues, but this one in front of me is a stone statue. The stone statues of the elders fighting are actually very similar.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo's heart skipped a beat, and when You Qi looked at each other, she found that the little Buddha statue's eyes seemed to be facing her. She protected her senior sister and stepped back step by step, and the eyes of the little Buddha statue seemed to move with their movement.

Jiang Mo's scalp was numb, and he even forgot that he had the invisibility enchantment set up by Zhu Baiyi, and felt that he was being watched by the Buddha statue.

In the face of danger, human instinct is to fight back besides escaping. Now that the senior sister is still behind him, the first thought in Jiang Mo's mind is not to escape, but to strike first.

She was almost about to make a move, the golden spiritual power had condensed in her palm, but someone grabbed her wrist suddenly.

Yun Qingyue's voice sounded in her ears, very low: "Don't move."

There was no further explanation for these two words, but Jiang Mo lost his spiritual power as soon as he obeyed. Then she felt the hand grabbing her wrist being pulled slightly, and she stepped back step by step with that force. During this period, she didn't look back, she walked backward step by step, staring at the little Buddha statue. The little Buddha statue seemed to be staring at her all the time, but it didn't move until she was pulled away by the senior sister.

Until the two were far away and the little Buddha statue was plunged into darkness, Jiang Mo seemed to still be able to feel that stare. It's just that as the distance increased, the feeling of danger dissipated little by little, and her tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.

What happened to the little Buddha statue?

Jiang Mo turned his head and was about to ask his senior sister what he found, but when he turned his head, he saw a black shadow behind his senior sister. She had just been frightened by the little Buddha statue, and her tense nerves hadn't completely relaxed at this time, she almost subconsciously pulled the person behind her.

Fortunately, before she could make a move, the black shadow came out from the shadows, who is it not Zhu Baiyi?

Jiang Mo didn't relax his vigilance because of this, and looked behind her twice, and he relaxed a little when he saw Qing Yu following behind. However, she was still vigilant, her brows were slightly frowned, and just as she was about to ask a question via voice transmission, she heard Zhu Baiyi take the lead in voice transmission, and her tone seemed anxious: "Go, get out of here first!"

After saying a word, Zhu Baiyi didn't delay, and took Qing Yu outside.

Yun Qingyue glanced at the two of them, pursed his lips slightly, and pulled Jiang Mo to follow.

A group of four people returned to the front hall. Not surprisingly, one person and one stone statue were still fighting, but it was different from before the few people left. At this time, the third elder was already scarred and showing signs of decline. She also seemed to feel the difficulty of the stone statue and didn't want to get entangled with him anymore, but the stone statue had already spotted her, entangled her like a tarsal maggot and wouldn't let her get away.

Jiang Mo and the others only took one look, and felt that the Third Elder might be in danger this time. But their positions were different, and they didn't intend to help each other. After a glance, they quietly slipped out of the hall.

As soon as he left the hall, Jiang Mo frowned slightly and twitched his nose when the night wind blew in.

Yun Qingyue was the first to notice it, and immediately stopped, and asked her through sound transmission, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Mo sniffed the air again, and said suspiciously, "I seem to smell a trace of blood, but after a careful sniff, it doesn't seem to be there."

As soon as these words came out, Yun Qingyue immediately became vigilant, and his sharp eyes scanned the surroundings. However, the surroundings were as quiet as before, and under the moonlight, everything was as usual, as if it was no different from before they entered the hall.

But this difference is very wrong. Although they didn't time the time, it had been at least half an hour since they entered the Daxiong Palace with the three elders. It stands to reason that the disciples of the Jiuyou Sect who were scattered and searched before should all gather in the open space in front of the hall. But at this time, there was no one, which seemed very abnormal.

However, Zhu Baiyi didn't want to get to the bottom of it. She seemed to be in a hurry to leave the right and wrong place. After glancing around, she sent a voice transmission to the two of them: "Let's go, go back to the wing first."

The four of them left without a sound, and went all the way to the wing room. They also didn't meet anyone or anything on the way. But if they could come out a quarter of an hour earlier, they might see the broken ground and the dying struggle. If they came out half an hour earlier, they could even see a dark shadow dragging the corpse away from the gate of the temple under the night.

But now they didn't see anything, and fortunately they didn't see anything.
