The old monk did not answer, only looked at the two children carefully, couldn't help but look at Baye a few more times, thought: "Good talent, but why is his temper so extreme?"
Shaw Danon took a step forward, said: "Hey, who are you, how come I have never seen you before?"
Grasstemple Village is near Jadeon, Taoism is respected here, Buddhist disciples are very rare, so Shaw Danon asked.
The old monk looked at him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, asked back: "Young benefactor, just now your life was at stake, you only need to admit defeat, why did you struggle to hold on, if not for this old monk, I'm afraid you would have lost your life in vain!"
Shaw Danon was stunned, thinking that what the old monk said may not be unreasonable, but at the last moment, he still could not say anything, only stunned there.
Baye glared at the old monk, pulled Shaw Danon's hand, said: "Xiao Fan, this old monk is strange, let's ignore him." Then he pulled Shaw Danon outside, the children all followed, apparently always following his lead.
Shaw Danon subconsciously took a step, but after he walked out of the temple for a while, he could not help but look back into the temple. The sky was getting dark, he could vaguely see the old monk still standing there, but his face was blurred.
Late at night.
A thunder, the wind blew away the clouds, the dark clouds rolled in the sky.
The wind and rain were coming, the atmosphere was murderous.
The old monk was still in the Grasstemple Temple, meditating. Looking up, Qing Yun Hill in the distance was only left with a stretch of haze, the surroundings were quiet and devoid of human voices, only the sound of strong wind and thunder that filled the sky and covered the earth.
What a strong wind!
A bolt of lightning split the sky, the lonely little Grasstemple Temple in the wind brightened. The old monk was standing at the door of the temple, his face serious, looking up at the sky, his eyebrows wrinkled tighter and tighter.
In the village to the west, a strand of black gas had suddenly appeared. It was dense like black ink, and it roiled without end. The old monk stood in the Grasstemple Temple, staring at the black gas.
Suddenly, the black gas rolled up, spiraled up, and went straight out of the village, toward the direction of the Grasstemple Temple. Its speed was extremely fast, arriving in the blink of an eye. The old monk's eyes were sharp and he noticed that there was a child among them. It was Lin JingYu whom he had seen during the day.
The old monk's face darkened, without hesitation, his skinny body suddenly rose from the ground, straight into the black gas.
A surprised voice came from somewhere in the darkness, "Huh?"
A few muffled sounds, the black gas suddenly stopped, hovering above the Grasstemple Temple. The old monk, with Baye under his ribs, slowly descended, but a piece of his kasaya was torn off.
With the weak light, Baye could see Baye's eyes were closed, his breathing was steady, not sure if he was asleep or fainted.
The old monk did not put him down. He raised his head to look at the ball of black gas in the sky and said, "Your Taoist skills are profound, why would you attack an ignorant child? I'm afraid it's beneath your dignity?"
A hoarse voice came: "Who are you? You dare to meddle in my business."
The old monk did not answer, but said, "This is the foot of Qing Yun Hill, if Qing Yun Sect knows that you are running amok here, I'm afraid you will not have a good time in the future."
"This is the foot of Qing Yun Hill, if Qing Yun Sect knows that you are running amok here, I am afraid you will have a hard time in the future." That person said: "What is Qing Yun Sect, they are just relying on their numbers.
The old monk put his palms together and said: "Amitabha, a monk is merciful, I cannot watch this child fall into your hands."
That person said angrily: "Damn baldy, you are looking for death."
Following his words, in the black gas that had been hovering, a dark red light flashed. In an instant, the little Grasstemple was surrounded by a strong Yin wind and ghost energy.
"Poison Blood Banner!" The old monk's face suddenly showed anger, "Evil creature, you dare to cultivate such an evil thing that is devoid of conscience, a scourge of the human world, I will not forgive you today."
That hoarse voice laughed coldly but did not reply. There was a whistling sound, the red light shone brightly, from mid-air, the stench of blood increased, a two zhang red banner was slowly raised. At this moment, the ghost cries became more mournful, as if there were countless resentful spirits crying in the night, in between, there was a faint sound of bones cracking, it was shocking to hear.
"Damned baldy, die!" That person in the black gas shouted, from the blood-red banner, a ferocious ghost face suddenly appeared, it had three triangles, four eyes, sharp fangs, [Ka, ka, ka] the sound of bones cracking, the four eyes on the ghost face suddenly opened, with a roar, it turned into a real body, rushed out from the banner, with an incomparable smell of blood, attacked the old monk.
The old monk's face was even more furious, he knew that the more powerful this Poison Blood Banner was, the more innocent people would be killed in the process of cultivation. To cultivate to this level of power, it would probably require the blood of more than three hundred people.
This evil person was really devoid of conscience!
Seeing that the ghost was about to reach him, the old monk did not put down Lin JingYu, only using his left hand which was holding the Jasper Prayer Beads, drew a circle in the air in front of him, one hand forming the Buddhist Lion Seal, five fingers stretched out, fingertips faintly emitting golden light, in a short moment, a golden light appeared in front of him, brilliant, resisting the ghost in mid-air.
"Small tricks, you dare to use …" Before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly shook, he felt that his right hand which was carrying Lin JingYu, his wrist was bitten by a strange thing, a numbing itch immediately spread throughout his body, his vision darkened, the golden light in front of him was on the verge of collapsing.
And at this moment, the ghost in front of him had another strange change, on its forehead in the middle of its left and right eyes, [Ka, ka] two sounds, another huge blood-red eye opened, the stench of blood rose, its power was even stronger, a ghost howl was heard, a blood-red light flashed, the ghost smashed the golden light into pieces, heavily hit the old monk's chest.
The old monk flew backwards, Lin JingYu who was under his ribs also fell to the ground, a few muffled sounds on the way, most of his ribs were probably broken. After a while, his skinny body smashed into the wall of the grass temple, a [Boom] sound, dust flew, the entire wall collapsed.
"Hahahaha ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" The person in the black gas laughed wildly, extremely pleased.
The old monk stood up shakily, his throat hot, he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, dying the front of his monk robes red. He only felt stars flashing before his eyes, his whole body was in pain, and that numbing itch was getting closer and closer to his heart.
He forced himself to calm down, glanced at Lin JingYu who was still unconscious on the ground, and saw that in his clothes, a colourful centipede slowly crawled out, it was as big as a palm, the strangest thing was that its tail was split into seven, as if it had seven tails. And every one of them had a different colour, the colours were gorgeous, but within the beauty, there was a tinge of terror.
"Seven-tailed centipede!" The old monk's words sounded like a moan.
The black gas on his face became heavier, blood kept flowing out from the corner of his mouth, as if he could not hold on any longer, but he still forced himself to not collapse. He looked at the ball of black gas in mid-air, said, "You placed the world's most poisonous object on that child, and purposely hid your strength, waiting for an opportunity to injure me, you are here for me right?"
The person in the black gas laughed coldly, said, "That's right, I am here specifically for you, PuZhi bald donkey. If not for that, with your Tian Yin Temple Buddhist cultivation, it would not be easy to deal with. Alright, now quickly hand over the Sinister Orb, I will give you the antidote for the Seven-tailed Centipede, and spare your life! "
PuZhi laughed bitterly, said, "To think that there is a 'Zhi' in my name, I did not think that you would refine this Poison Blood Banner evil object, how can you not covet the Sinister Orb." His face turned solemn, resolutely said, "You want me to give you the world's most vicious object, it is wishful thinking."
The person in the black gas was enraged, "Then go and see your Buddha." A red light flashed, the Poison Blood Banner fluttered in the wind, ghost cries were heard, the huge ghost reappeared, slightly circled in the air, and once again rushed towards PuZhi.
PuZhi gave a loud shout, his robes fluttered without any wind, his originally small and skinny body seemed to have grown a lot bigger. He exerted strength in his left hand, a crisp sound was heard, the string of green jade prayer beads was broken by him, more than ten crystal clear prayer beads did not fall, instead they spun non-stop, each emitted a green light, floating in front of PuZhi, only that dark purple bead, fell straight down.
PuZhi flipped his palm, grabbed that dark purple bead in his hand, both hands immediately formed a water bottle seal, both eyes wide open, his whole body faintly emitting golden light, his mouth chanting word by word, "Mi, Ma, Ni, Ba, Mi, Moo!"
"Six Words Great Ming Incantation." The person in the black gas's tone immediately became more solemn.
Following PuZhi's "Moo" word, in an instant, all the green jade prayer beads shone brightly, at the same time, the ghost that was summoned by the evil person had already rushed to the front, the smell of blood assaulting his nostrils. But once it came into contact with the green jade light, it immediately became invisible, unable to move forward, so it was stuck in the air.
Even so, PuZhi's body shook again, the seven-tailed centipede was the world's most poisonous creature, even with his hundreds of years of cultivation, it was still difficult to resist. But on his face that was faintly emitting black gas, there was a faint trace of a smile, with a sense of awe.
"Hey!"
PuZhi gave a loud shout, like a lion's roar, the sound shook the surroundings, the green jade prayer beads in front of him were under the influence of the Buddha's power, the light in front of him became even brighter, suddenly with a "Pu" sound, one of the prayer beads broke, in the air, transformed into a "Hey" word, rushed forward, and hit that ghost's face.
"Wa ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Ya!" That ghost let out a mournful cry, immediately retreated a few steps, the red light around its body was greatly reduced, obviously it was injured. The person in the black gas said angrily, "What a good bald donkey!"
He was about to move, but in a flash, seven or eight prayer beads transformed into Buddhist incantations, and hit the ghost. That ghost kept howling, retreated a few steps, showing a terrified expression, when it was hit by the ninth green jade prayer bead, it finally let out a long cry, all five of its eyes were broken, its bones were rattling, with a "bang" sound, it fell to the ground, struggled for a few times, then slowly became a pool of blood, extremely stinky.
At the same time, PuZhi with a "Wa" sound, spat out a large mouthful of blood, the color of the blood, had already become black.
"Ah!" A scream, at the critical moment of the battle between the two masters, came from the entrance of the Grasstemple Temple.
PuZhi and that evil person were surprised, the black gas in the sky moved, PuZhi also looked toward the entrance at the same time, saw the child Shaw Danon, for some reason, had come to the front of the Grasstemple Temple, stood at the entrance, stunned at the strange scene in the temple.
The person in the black gas snorted coldly, did not see how he moved, the seven-tailed centipede that was originally on Baye's body suddenly shook its tail, took the momentum and flew, as fast as lightning, toward Shaw Danon.
PuZhi's eyebrows raised, his right hand pointed, a green jade prayer bead rushed toward it. That seven-tailed centipede seemed to be psychic, knew how powerful it was, did not dare to resist, shook its tail like a wing, rushed into the black gas, no longer making any sound.
The person in the black gas sinisterly said: "Heh heh, really worthy of being Skysong Temple's Four Great Holy Monks, heavily injured, still able to break my 'Poison Blood Corpse King', but you received the Corpse King's attack, and also got poisoned by the seven-tailed centipede, how long can you last? Better obediently give me the 'Sinister Orb'. "
At this moment, even the corner of PuZhi's eyes began to bleed black blood, laughed bitterly, hissed: "Even if I die here today, I will get rid of you, this evil person."
As soon as he finished, all the green jade prayer beads in front of him lit up at the same time, the person in the sky immediately became alert, suddenly a whistling sound, an object flashing with green light hit the black gas from behind, it was the green jade prayer bead that hit the seven-tailed centipede, flew for a distance in the air, was secretly controlled by PuZhi, turned to the back of the black gas, and suddenly launched an attack.
Only to hear a roar in the black gas, obviously that person was caught off guard, "Bang, bang, bang" a few chaotic sounds, where the green light flashed, the black gas scattered, and finally dispersed in all directions, disappearing into nothingness. From mid-air, a tall and thin person slowly descended, his entire body was wrapped tightly in a black robe, unable to see his age, only a pair of eyes, flashing with a fierce light, on his back, there was also a long sword tied.
PuZhi said in a low voice: "Your Excellency has such skills, why don't you dare to show yourself?"
The black attired person's eyes flashed with a fierce light, sternly said: "Bald donkey, today I will let you die without a burial place!"
After speaking, he backhandedly pulled out the long sword on his back, the sword was as clear as autumn water, bright but not glaring, with a faint clear light, attached to it.
"Good sword." PuZhi could not help but exclaimed.
The black attired person gave a low humph, his hand holding the sword incantation, his feet stepped on the Seven Stars, took seven consecutive steps, the long sword suddenly pierced the sky, his mouth chanting: "Nine Heavens Xuan Sha, transform into Celestial Thunder.
Brilliant Heaven's Might, lead by the sword! "
In a short moment, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly rolled, thunder rumbled, lightning flashed continuously at the edge of the dark clouds, between the heaven and earth was a chilling scene, the strong wind blew.
"Celestial Sword Wielding Thunder True Formula!" PuZhi's face instantly turned as pale as ash, followed by a kind of surprise, a trace of despair and a little bit of inexplicable fanaticism.
"You are actually from Qing Yun sect!"
