The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 401 The black star hangs high in the far north (Part )

Thinking of the relationship between the temple and Qiao Youning, Chen Jing actually felt a little headache.

Because the monastery was far less annoying to him than [Moonlight Hermitage].

What's more, the temple didn't have anything to say about its treatment of Qiao Youning. It almost treated this silly girl who had been in the outside world for more than ten or twenty years.

It can be said that the temple has not made her suffer any injustice so far. Of course, there is a big reason for this, which comes from Qiao Youning's special physique.

She carries the hope of the entire temple to rise again, and is also an opportunity for the Buddha's mother to return to the world, so the temple's attitude towards her is beyond what Chen Jing could have imagined.

Once upon a time, Chen Jing also asked "him" in his mind in private.

Will the temple harm Qiao Youning?

Just like Jiang Jingzhe, use her as a medium or part of the ritual to bring the Buddha Mother back to the world...

And "his" answer is yes.

"The temple will not harm her, it will only protect her, including the Buddha Mother. The only one who can kill Qiao Youning is herself."

Closer to home.

After hearing Wei Nan ask which side you were on if a fight broke out, Qiao Youning was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect to face this problem suddenly.

"The temple has been kind to me, and the elders are very kind to me, better than my biological parents, but... I won't let A Jing be wronged."

With that said, Qiao Youning sighed helplessly.

"If there is really going to be a fight, then I will stand in the middle. If I can, I will persuade you. If I can't, I will help you hold off the people from the temple and let you run away."

"What is your temple's attitude towards resuscitators in deep space?" Yanque asked coldly.

"There is no hostility." Qiao Youning shook her head and said in a sincere tone, "Ajing is my only friend, so I care about this matter very much. You can trust me. If the temple was hostile to Ajing, I would have Told him."

Hearing this, Wei Nan and Yan Que looked at each other for a while. No one said they didn't believe it, but no one said they believed it, because they had only known Qiao Youning for a short time, and some things could not be seen casually.

Until Chen Jing spoke.

"Stop asking blind questions." Chen Jing's tone was as usual, and he seemed to be a little helpless about the topic they were talking about, "You Ning is my good friend, there is no way she would betray me. If one day, the monks in the temple Just like those alchemists in the Hanging City, they plan to kill me... We'll talk about it then."

The words fell.

Chen Jing felt that those auras were approaching him quickly.

And just when he was about to follow the direction of those auras and look over, at the place where the big hole was blown out by Wei Nan and the others in Yukong Mountain... right on the edge of the cave, several strange figures were already standing there.

Everyone who comes is a monk.

Six people in total.

The five monks standing at the back all wore black robes of the same style, with hollow masks on their faces that looked like gold. Only the old man standing at the front was dressed more "simplely".

The simple white monk's robe is spotless.

His beard and hair are all white, his eyebrows are kind and his eyes are kind.

He has the temperament of an eminent monk.

The long staff he holds tightly in his hand looks like a vine woven with nine golden wind chimes hanging on the front, back, left and right.

When Chen Jing saw him, the old man raised his head and stared at Chen Jing, with no trace of hostility on his face.

"Born...to grow old??" When Qiao Youning saw the old man, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, "The temple would actually send an elder directly here?!"

"Do you know him?" Wei Nan asked.

"Well, he is one of the nine elders of our temple. His real name is 'Sheng Immortal'. People in our temple call him Elder..." Qiao Youning explained in a low voice.

"Immortality?" Yanque frowned and couldn't help complaining, "Why did the elder of your temple have such a weird name?"

"Is he strong?" Wei Nan asked the most curious question.

"powerful."

This time it was not Qiao Youning who explained to her, but Chen Jing who took the initiative to speak. It seemed that he had already judged the approximate strength of the old man from the results of the breath feedback.

"He should be around Sequence 6. He is only one level weaker than the Pope of the Monastery. He is not as good as the old man, but he is not something we can deal with casually..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jing also laughed.

Because he found that although these people who came were powerful, they were not really strong enough to keep him. Even if the leading old man had the strength of the Monastery Bishop, he would not be able to keep everyone in this Yukong Mountain...

"You Ning?"

At this time, the old man had already seen the familiar face through the golden mist. Although he had heard from the monks at the foot of the mountain before coming here, there were several unfamiliar faces beside the saint. He heard the saint said that they were her friends. …

Yes.

friend.

So this "life form" that exudes the aura of deep air and has no human form is You Ning's friend?

"Chang Lao..." Qiao Youning replied weakly, only afraid that the situation would develop in the worst direction.

"Are they all your friends?" the old man confirmed for the last time.

"Yes! They are all my friends!" Qiao Youning spoke hurriedly, fearing that the elder would misunderstand, "Elder, don't worry! I'm not in danger! I'm safe with them!"

"Then you come down first."

The old man with gray hair and childlike face smiled, his face was kind and he spoke softly.

"Let these friends of yours come down... Don't worry, I have no hostility towards them, especially this little guy."

The elders seemed to be able to see what Qiao Youning was worried about, so they spoke in a very candid and straight-to-the-point manner.

And just then.

Chen Jing suddenly spoke up.

Since he is no longer human, when he speaks loudly, his voice is always a bit like depressing rolling thunder.

"Elder Chang, you'd better take people out of this area first, otherwise you may be in danger."

Chen Jing originally thought that he would have to waste more words to ask them to leave, and he was even mentally prepared to get into trouble because of his words. After all, his words sounded somewhat like a threat to outsiders, and in addition, he was "elderly". With such a transcendent status, it is inevitable that the monks in the monastery will feel uncomfortable...

But it turns out that the people in the monastery are not that stupid.

Especially growing old.

After confirming that Qiao Youning was safe and sound, he felt relieved and nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Jing's advice. Before the monks behind him could speak, he turned around and walked down the mountain with everyone.

Just at this moment.

The space in the underground cave began to collapse.

Accompanied by the sound of bursts of dimensional space being torn apart, a black beam as thick as a water tank broke through the earth, like an energy cannon spewed by some ancient creature, and shot straight into the sky.

next second.

The beam dispersed.

In the cloudless sky.

A black star with a diameter of several thousand meters appeared.

"That's...the black star in the deep sky of the old days..."
