Pawn Crossing the River

This method is called "Yin Yang Gate", which is a unique method for alchemists. It can pass through the gap between the Yin and Yang realms, thereby bypassing the distance barrier between the Yang realms, and can move hundreds of miles at a time.

However, this method also has great limitations. If there is a formation to protect the place, it is basically impossible to open the Yin and Yang Gate. When fighting with someone, let alone whether the door can be opened smoothly. Even if the door can be opened reluctantly, the opponent will probably not give it a chance. Especially after the alchemist is approached by a warrior, the winner or even life and death can often be determined in an instant. I'm afraid Before the Yin and Yang Gate is opened, he will die on the spot, so this technique looks extremely mysterious and beyond ordinary people's imagination, but it is of little use when used to fight against others.

Therefore, the scholar temporarily stunned Zhang Yuelu, and then opened the "Yin Yang Gate" to retreat.

As for why the scholar didn't take the opportunity to attack Zhang Yuelu, it was because in such a short period of time, he had no confidence in killing Zhang Yuelu. It was even difficult to even severely injure Zhang Yuelu. In addition, Zhang Yuelu's combat power was too amazing. On the contrary, There is a possibility that both of them will be left here, so it is better to seek safety.

After Zhang Yuelu came back to his senses, he happened to see the "Yin Yang Gate" shrinking continuously, and finally turned into a black spot and disappeared completely.

She was a little annoyed. This was already the second Ancient Immortal believer to escape from her hands. On the other hand, Qi Xuansu could gain something every time he made a move. Comparing the two, she seemed a little incompetent.

At this moment, Qi Xuansu, Wang Zicheng, Luo Xiao and others also chased out.

Wang Zicheng said with a heavy face: "Did that alchemist finally show up? He must have been the one who attacked me and capsized my boat earlier."

Luo Xiao's face was very ugly, and he was even more uneasy in his heart. His subordinates were cult demons, and his boss was also a cult demon. The governor sent to inspect by superiors was also attacked by a cult demon within his jurisdiction. No matter what, He also has to bear the responsibility of dereliction of duty. This guilt may be small, but you can make meritorious deeds to compensate for the crime. If you make meritorious deeds, the merits and demerits will be offset by the merits. Even if it's a big deal, it's not impossible to dismiss him on the spot.

Only Qi Xuansu's face was as dark as water and he said nothing.

Bai Yongguan was not really resurrected, but died completely after saying those words, which was a bit like a flashback. However, the attitudes of Bai Yongguan and Lin Zhenyuan made Qi Xuansu realize that there might be something special about him, and it was not just that he was physically strong. Simple.

As a result, Qi Xuansu faced two problems.

The first problem is that the cult demon seems to be very fond of his own body and tries every possible means to use himself as a container, so he has to guard against it.

The second problem is that this secret cannot be known to Zhang Yuelu and the Taoist sect, because Qi Xuansu knows very well that he is not a born special person, but was transformed by the Qingping Society. If the Taoist sect finds out about this, his identity will easily be exposed. , that is the end of the world.

At this time, Qi Xuansu was thinking about how to cover up the past. After all, Bai Yongguan's words before his death were not only heard by Lin Zhenyuan, but also by others.

Strictly speaking, Qi Xuansu didn't care much about Qingluan Guard. What mattered was Zhang Yuelu's opinion.

Fortunately, the relationship between the two is good now. If it were an ambiguous situation, Zhang Yuelu would not take the initiative to doubt Qi Xuansu. This also made Qi Xuansu feel quite ashamed and guilty. After all, Zhang Yuelu treated him with sincerity, but he was secretive and tried every means to hide it from Zhang Yuelu, just like hiding his love from his wife in a golden house.

Qi Xuansu pondered for a moment and then took the initiative to speak: "This group of evil cult monsters seems to be looking for the container needed for the 'divine descending'. When I was at Qingbai Temple, Bai Yongguan thought that I was the best container."

After Zhang Yuelu heard this, he did not pay too much attention to Qi Xuansu's physical condition. His attention was attracted by the word "divine surrender" and he said in surprise: "This is happening! This group of people actually plans to hold a 'divine surrender'?"

Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "Bai Yongguan also accidentally revealed that the container needs to be a mentally tough person."

This sentence was completely fabricated by Qi Xuansu based on Zhang Yuelu's introduction to the ancient immortal believers to confuse Bai Yongguan's last sentence. Anyway, Bai Yongguan only said the word "container" and nothing else.

However, Qi Xuansu did not expect that the sentence he fabricated was half correct.

Zhang Yuelu had no doubts and said: "Actually, the ancient immortal's container is essentially the same as the Taoist spiritual official. It's just that the Taoist sect does not deprive the spiritual official of his intelligence, but only gives it divine power. However, the ancient immortal not only bestows divine power but also possesses the power of the magpie." nest."

Then Zhang Yuelu asked again: "Tian Yuan, you have been more careful recently. It is best to stay with me and not leave too far to avoid being plotted by these monsters."

Qi Xuansu felt inexplicably ashamed when he saw Zhang Yuelu sincerely thinking about him. He couldn't tell the truth, so he could only agree softly.

Wang Zicheng asked: "What should be the plan now?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Five of the seven people have shown up, and only the gentry and the monk have not shown up yet. Is there a temple or any big family in the city?"

Wang Zicheng immediately looked at Luo Xiao: "Luo Baihu, you are a local Baihu, Yishan City is your territory, you say."

Luo Xiao hurriedly said: "There is indeed a temple in the city."

Zhang Yuelu said: "Let's see, Luo Baihu, you take us to the temple here, while Wang Zhenfu stays at Baihusuo, first to treat the injuries on his body, and secondly to see if he can find anything from He Nian's body." What clues are there?”

Wang Zicheng fought one after another and was injured. He was almost at the end of his strength, but he did not try to show off his strength. He nodded and said: "Then Master Lao will be there."

Luo Xiao immediately mobilized thirty Qingluan Guard captains and sixty Qingluan Guard warriors, all carrying powerful crossbows and even a small cannon, carried by four Qingluan Guard warriors, leading Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansuhao He headed towards the temple in the city in a mighty manner.

Soon, a group of people came to the mountain gate of the temple. They saw a deserted place, and there was no sign of incense. It seemed inconsistent with the rumors that Yishan City respected Buddhism, but it was not much different from Qingbai Temple, or even Qingbai Temple. Because it was built outside the city, it is more spacious and majestic than this temple.

Zhang Yuelu first observed for a moment using the Immortal Qi Watching Technique, and then ordered: "Luo Baihu, separate your hands and surround the place. Deacon Qi and I will go in."

Although Zhang Yuelu was not Luo Xiao's boss, Luo Xiao still followed orders happily.

Because Yishan City is a mountain city, the terrain inside the city is not flat, with scattered high and low places. This temple was built on a "hill" in the city. There is only a long straight stone step connecting the mountain gate to the temple gate. There are about hundreds of steps. look. At this time, Luo Xiao's men were outside the mountain gate, which was at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu passed through the mountain gate and walked along the long stone steps to the temple gate.

Zhang Yuelu took out the "photoless paper" and turned it into a paper umbrella in his hand. Compared with the sword, the advantage of an umbrella is that it can attack and defend. When necessary, open the umbrella to become a large shield. At the same time, he said: "If this place is really It is the lair of that group of monsters. Apart from Bai Yongguan and He Nian, there are two other people who were seriously injured by me and are temporarily unable to fight with others. Then there are only three people left, namely the scholar, the monk, and the gentry. , these three people should all be at the stage of returning to the true state. With the 'no photo paper' in my hand, it shouldn't be a problem for me to fight one against two, but it is hard to say against one against three. After all, I have not yet become a heavenly being, so you must careful……"

Halfway through her words, Zhang Yuelu suddenly noticed that Qi Xuansu was looking at her with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yuelu subconsciously looked down at himself. Could it be that his clothes were torn during the fight? But she checked it again and found nothing wrong. The clothes on her body were all neat.

Qi Xuansu said softly: "It's nothing, it's just that no one has cared about me like this for a long time, and I'm not used to it."

Zhang Yuelu laughed and said: "As a friend, you traveled thousands of miles to help me solve my difficulties. If you make any mistake, wouldn't I feel sorry for my friend?"

Qi Xuansu sighed and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, we met on the Ghost Festival on July 15th. It was only three months until the Ghost Festival on October 15th, but it feels like we have known each other for a long time."

Zhang Yuelu said: "The length of memory depends on the content. If every day is the same, decades will seem like a blink of an eye when you recall it. But if you experience many things in one day and the memory is profound, then when you recall it, it will It feels like a day is as long as a year. Although we haven’t known each other for a long time, we have experienced a lot, so you have this feeling.”

"What about you?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Zhang Yuelu paused deliberately: "Me too."

While they were talking, the two came to the temple door and saw a plaque hanging high on the door, which read: "Ulan Temple".

At this time, the temple door is locked and no entry is allowed.

There was a flash of purple energy in Zhang Yuelu's eyes: "The entire temple is 'locked' by the formation, so we can only break through forcefully, but someone seems to have opened a gap in the formation, which allows us to save some effort. "

After that, Zhang Yuelu led Qi Xuansu and walked around the outer wall of the temple for a while. Sure enough, they found that a gable wall had collapsed. The two of them walked into the temple through the gap.

Inside the wall is an extremely narrow and cramped square patio, only four feet square. It is covered with many weeds that have begun to wither and turn yellow. It can be seen that no one has been there for a long time.

Behind is the gap through which they came in. To the right is a gable, to the left is a sealed window, and in the opposite direction is a small door, but it is wide open, as if it has been forced by someone. Break open.

The two walked inside and found that there was a side hall on the other side of the door.

There are quite a few traces of fighting here. On the throne of the god is a smiling Maitreya Bodhisattva with a big belly, but two arms are missing, and the incense is dim. Its face is shrouded in shadow, and it is difficult to see clearly, which is a bit eerie and scary. .
