Pawn Crossing the River

Neither Qi Xuansu nor Zhang Yuelu expected that the mastermind behind the scenes would come to their door. This was undoubtedly a provocation. It was not only a provocation to the two of them, but also a provocation to the entire Taoist sect.

"What are you going to do?" Qi Xuansu asked.

"Don't you know how to read it? My Taoist Master Qi." Situ Xinglan always had a hint of teasing and ridicule in his tone.

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course I will read it. I am asking Your Majesty what you want to do if you take the initiative to meet us."

"So that's what I'm asking." Situ Xing nodded randomly, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want you two to know that when I came to Jinling Mansion today, I wanted to imitate Mayfly and shake the big tree of Daomen. ”

"What a loud tone." Qi Xuansu immediately remembered that Marshal Tianpeng had said something similar, but Marshal Tianpeng placed himself in the position of a big tree, while Situ Xingluan placed himself in the position of a mayfly. position.

Situ Xing smiled wildly and said for no reason: "If you don't think about it, you will never forget it."

Zhang Yuelu, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "You are a very special person from the Fate-Knowing Cult."

"How do you say this?" Situ Xinglan turned his gaze to Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu said: "As far as I know, the people of Zhiming Cult have always been pragmatic and do not seek fame. They only seek to sacrifice lives to please Lord Siming. Provoking Taoists to gain fame is what Lingshan Witch Cult likes to do. You are not like Zhiming." The person who teaches is more like a person from Lingshan shamanism.”

Situ Xinglan grinned again and praised without hesitation: "Master Zhang has good eyesight, but what he said is wrong."

Zhang Yuelu was not very disappointed and even stopped talking.

Qi Xuansufu spoke again: "We know, is there anything else?"

Situ Xinglan looked at the two of them deeply: "We'll see you later."

As soon as the words fell, the light curtain transformed by the Zimu Talisman dissipated.

Qi Xuansu glanced at Zhang Yuelu: "No wonder you said that the Zhiming Cult had a big plan this time. It turns out that the opponent is a lunatic. It's not like he wants to be loyal to Lord Siming, but he seems to want to use the hands of the Zhiming Cult to realize his ambitions."

Zhang Yuelu felt the same and said: "He came for the Taoist sect. But this is nothing, even better. The Taoist sect is always stronger than ordinary people. As Situ Xinglan said, the Taoist sect is a big tree. Since it is a big tree, it can not only withstand wind and rain, but also protect others from wind and rain.”

Qi Xuansu put forward a supplementary point of view: "There are many factions within our Taoist sect, and these secret societies will not be monolithic. So will there be two voices within the Zhiming Sect? One voice will grab more for Zhenjun Siming. Sacrifice, another voice is aimed at the Taoist sect, because over the past many years, the Zhiming Cult and the Taoist sect have already had a blood feud, so the first voice cannot suppress the second voice, and does not even dare to openly deny the correctness of the second voice. , otherwise the people's hearts will be scattered, so they reached a compromise, not only to seize the sacrifices, but also to target the Taoist sect."

Zhang Yuelu thought seriously for a moment and agreed: "You are right. You cannot ignore two aspects."

As for people like Situ Xinglan, it's not surprising. Careers, lunatics, and crazy people can mix into Taoism, and naturally they can also mix into Zhiming Cult. The temple is big, there is a lot of incense, and there are also many Bodhisattvas. There is little incense in a small temple and there are few Bodhisattvas, so they might be able to get ahead.

And there is an old saying that goes well, people will be punished for their own sake. Maybe those believers at the bottom are willing to sacrifice their lives for the so-called gods, but most of the people at the top are not willing. Even if they were willing before, they still won't be willing after they get to high positions. Yes, human nature is like this. In Western terms, power can alienate and distort human nature.

Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu walked out of the door and told Qi Xuansu about the situation after the curse spread: "Usually, the stomach will gradually swell like a drum. Although you will not die immediately, you will still die in the end, and the death will be miserable. The abdomen exploded, all kinds of bugs scattered out, and all the internal organs were completely eaten. When I checked again, not to mention the soul, even the three corpses were eaten away. This is the sacrifice mentioned by the Zhiming Cult. "

"When only an empty shell is left, the 'seeds' left by the Zhiming Cult will take root and sprout, or in other words, the dove will occupy the magpie's nest, turning the corpse into a living corpse."

"At this time, no matter what means, there is no way to save the day. Back then, the Zhiming Cult was making waves in the Western Region, Beiting, Southern Wasteland and other places. The situation in some villages and towns was very serious. No one, no matter how old or young, was spared, and some villages even died because of it. "

After Qi Xuansu heard this, he was still a little shocked. Compared with the methods of these cults, the fighting in the world is nothing. He can only kill people with a nod, but he does not do this kind of thing that kills people and makes people unable to live in peace even if they die. A desperate matter.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Where should we go next?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "When Situ Xing connected the Zimu Talisman randomly, he still revealed his true identity. Looking at the background behind him, I felt familiar at the time, as if I had seen it somewhere. After the Zimu Talisman ended, I remembered it. , is the Great Baoen Temple.”

"Have you been to Da Bao'en Temple before?" Qi Xuansu asked casually, but he was thinking about something else. As for Zhang Yuelu's keen insight, fortunately she trusts him now and doesn't think too much about it. If she starts to doubt him and think about it, He, that's a lot to look at.

Zhang Yuelu nodded and said: "When I was young, my parents took me here once."

Qi Xuansu added: "It's not surprising that Situ Xingran recognizes you. After all, you are famous, but it is a bit strange that he recognizes me, an unknown person. It shows that he knows himself and the enemy. If he deliberately exposes his flaws, in fact, he is setting up a trap in Dabaoen Temple." Are you going to lay a trap for me?"

A ruler is longer and an inch is shorter. Qi Xuansu was inferior to Zhang Yuelu in some ways, but also stronger than Zhang Yuelu in some ways. Zhang Yuelu encountered many difficulties and obstacles, but these difficulties and obstacles were concentrated. After this hurdle, most of the time it was peaceful. Qi Xuansu, on the other hand, was on tenterhooks most of the time, often wallowing in situations of life and death. He already had an innate intuition for danger. At this time, he felt uneasy. He was afraid that if he was not careful, the Jinling Mansion would become Burial place.

"It's not impossible, but now we don't have many choices." Zhang Yuelu sighed, "You..."

She wanted to say, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go, but she suddenly felt that saying this would be a bit irritating. She didn't want to force Qi Xuansu to accompany her, which would mean kidnapping Qi Xuansu morally and emotionally. No matter what you say, it will inevitably hurt people, but you don't know when to speak.

Qi Xuansu helped her solve this problem: "That's right, I have no choice but to try."

"Aren't you afraid?" Zhang Yuelu asked.

Qi Xuansu counterattacked: "Who are you looking down on? I have experienced more life and death difficulties than you. Last time I accompanied you back to your parents' home, if it weren't for me, you would have capsized in the gutter."

Zhang Yuelu spat lightly: "What do you mean by accompanying me back to my parents' home? It's like I'm already married to... someone."

Qi Xuansu laughed and didn't dare to continue asking for an advantage. If Zhang Yuelu was annoyed, she would take advantage of others.

Because Dabaoen Temple is located outside Jubao Gate, the two of them walked out of the old city and came to the outer city.

The place where the Great Baoen Temple is located is quite secluded. On weekdays, there are very few pedestrians coming and going. Today, there is not even a single person to be seen. The surrounding environment reveals an oppressive silence.

Both of them had solemn expressions as they flew directly over the mountain gate and landed in front of the temple gate.

At this moment, a rustling ghostly sound suddenly sounded around, as if a hundred ghosts were walking at night, and then a billowing black mist was seen all around, with black shadows constantly flashing in it.

Then I saw more than a dozen ragged figures crawling out of the black mist. Their scalps were smooth, their skin was as pale as a dead person, without any blood color, and the two eye sockets were black holes with nothing in them.

Zhang Yuelu looked calm and waved his sleeves.

A sharp sword energy swept out, like a huge arc moon, cutting off the living corpse in front of him. However, although the living corpse was divided into two parts, it was still alive. The upper body was lying on the ground, grabbing the ground with ten fingers, like a four-legged snake. Climbing towards Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu waved his sleeves again, and several paper lotuses flew out, smashing them like sharp wheels wherever they passed.
