disguised holy monk

There are even puppets in this place!

Wu Yuan's Adam's apple rolled, and his whole body became alert.

On closer inspection, these golems appear to be much weaker than those attacking them on the ground.And it was obvious that they would not live long, but in Wu Yuan's eyes, it was more than enough to deal with the three weak people.

Wuxin himself only practiced kung fu for strengthening his body, not to mention Xuanqing in his eyes, who seemed weak and weak was of no use.

And he had a broken arm at this time, and he was poisoned and weak. I'm afraid that the three of them will die here...

He glanced at Xuan Qing, gritted his teeth suddenly and pushed him, "Hurry up!"

As he spoke, he stood up staggeringly, trying to stop the puppet, and roared, "Hey, you bastard, come and kill me."

This operation stunned Xuan Qing, this big fool...

But seeing Wu Yuan's unsteady appearance, he quickly supported him.

Seeing that he still didn't leave, Wu Yuan couldn't help feeling anxious, "Why don't you leave?"

Xuan Qing shook his head, with long eyebrows calmly, sighed: "As a monk, how can the poor monk do such a thing as leaving others behind to escape?"

Wu Yuan was stunned when he heard the words, and then his heart became hot, he just felt that Xuan Qing's words meant that he wanted to live and die with him.

His voice was hoarse, "If you stay, don't you want to die here together..."

Xuan Qing didn't speak - he hasn't made a move yet, why must he die here?

At this moment, the densely packed puppets suddenly stopped for some reason.It's like being locked in the acupuncture points by someone.

"What's going on?" The few people who were waiting solemnly were stunned.

Wu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief when he came back to his senses, and then laughed loudly, "It seems that these ghosts were frightened by me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help covering his arms in pain because of the wound.

Wuxin naturally didn't believe his words, she could only look at Xuanqing, confused.

Xuan Qing was thoughtful, turned around suddenly, and saw a little boy standing at the end of the cave.

He looked like he was only five or six years old, and his appearance was very delicate, but his expressionless face looked a bit dull.She was wearing a simple white robe that was very thin, as if she didn't know the cold, and her slightly long black hair was scattered behind her like this.

Wuxin and Wu Yuan followed Xuan Qing's gaze and were taken aback, Wu Yuan cursed, "Damn, when did this kid appear?"

Xuan Qing shook his head to stop him, slowly stepped forward and squatted down, and said softly: "Little benefactor, what is your name, why are you here? Where are your family members?"

The little boy didn't speak, just looked at them with dark eyes.

Wu Yuan felt a little scared when he was seen, and wanted to step forward to pull Xuan Qing back, cursing and saying: "It's so fucking creepy, how can there be children in this ghost place? I think he is very evil, you stay away from him .”

Xuan Qing glanced at him disapprovingly, "No matter what, he is just a child."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the little boy's forehead. The boy's first reaction was to be stiff, and he didn't move but did not avoid it.

It's just that the tentacles were icy cold, Xuan Qing frowned, and pinched his body again, his whole body was still as cold as ice.

He couldn't help but sound more concerned, "Is it cold?"

After a while, the little boy seemed to have finally determined what he meant, and shook his head slowly.

Xuan Qing sighed, took off his white velvet coat and wrapped it around him, but he sneezed coldly.

"Master Uncle..." Wuxin stepped forward anxiously.

Xuan Qing waved his hand, "No problem."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the little boy again, touched his head and smiled, "Amitabha, little benefactor, I will take you out together after we find the exit."

The little boy still didn't speak, but his delicate little hands stroked the thick down on the coat, and a burst of warmth came from him.

Only then did Xuanqing have time to look at the environment in the cave.

In this empty cave, the huge pool of mercury occupies more than half of it, just facing the previous crack, which has been closed now, and it looks like two huge stone gates from below.I'm afraid that anyone who falls from there will be the first to fall into this pool of mercury.

But the places in this cave where there is no mercury are all those puppets from before. They are densely packed in one place, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of ice formed by water stains.

His eyes fell on a stone platform, where the hanging icicles melted and dripped water dripping down.

Surrounding the surrounding area, the only exit from this place turned out to be where the child was standing, and there was a passageway that only allowed one person to pass through.

Xuan Qing came forward and pointed behind him, and said softly: "Little benefactor, can we go in and have a look?"

Wu Yuan was a little worried. Although he didn't have the strength right now and needed unintentional support to stand still, he still wanted to step forward first, "Let me go in and see what's going on."

Xuan Qing stopped him, but looked at the little boy kindly, waiting for his approval.

Of course he knew that this kid was not simple, and that his appearance here by such a coincidence might be the key to breaking the situation, not to mention that those puppets didn't seem to attack him...so Xuanqing was very concerned about him.

Maybe the other party was moved by his sincerity?Caring and not scoring points...

The child gathered the clothes on his body, as if he knew what warmth meant for the first time.

He looked at Xuan Qing several times, then slowly turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave.

Xuan Qing glanced at Wu Xin and Wu Yuan, nodded and followed.

Because they followed the little boy, they discovered that there were many traps behind it.Looking at the bones and stumps all around, Wu Yuan swallowed, feeling lucky that he didn't rush in.

After walking for a while, the original path in front of him suddenly opened up, and the stone walls in the cave were inlaid with night pearls, so they were extraordinarily bright. It was also because of this that I found that the child was almost transparent and bloodless.

Xuan Qing looked around, it was like a living cave, with some simple daily necessities, it seemed that he lived here.But there is no exit except the trail they came from.

Xuan Qing turned to the little boy who had been staring at him, and smiled, "Little benefactor, do you live here?"

He took it for granted that he didn't get any answer, and Xuan Qing didn't care, and started to search around. The first thing he saw was naturally the bare stone walls everywhere. He couldn't help thinking, if he wanted to hide the treasure, where would he hide it?

Xuanqing approached slowly, and knocked on the stone walls one by one, until he hit one place and heard a distinctive sound—the back was empty.

He observed carefully again, and the stone wall seemed to be neat in size, more like a door, but it was too thick.

He tried to push it, but naturally it didn't move at all.

It's just that he didn't expect the child to move, and reached out to grab his sleeve, which obviously meant not to let him touch it again.

Xuan Qing was stunned.

"How is it? Can we go out here?" Wu Yuan came up to him at this moment and asked a little strangely.

Xuan Qing glanced at him and shook his head, "The poor monk is not sure either."

Wu Yuan scratched his hair impatiently, "Anyway, we have to find the exit quickly... I don't think this is possible, we might as well go back to the previous place and find a way to open that opening again!"

Xuan Qing nodded, since the crack can open and close, it must be a mechanism.As long as they find the switch, they can go out naturally.

The two discussed and prepared to return the same way.

From the beginning to the end of their conversation, the child remained expressionless, just staring at them unblinkingly with those black glass-like eyes, to be precise, staring at Xuan Qing alone.

Xuan Qing looked down at him, squatted down, and said gently: "Little benefactor, we are leaving, and our companions are still waiting for us, are you willing to go with us?"

The child remained silent.

Xuan Qing sighed, "It seems that you don't want to, but we have to go, leave these to you."

As he spoke, he left him all the food left on the bodies of the several people, and patted his head again, before the three turned around and returned the same way.

When they returned to the original place, Xuanqing glanced around and suddenly his pupils shrank—the number of puppets there was almost half gone, and there seemed to be more water stains on the ground, perhaps because they hadn’t had time to condense into ice, so There was also a faint rancid smell.

He looked around again, and compared to when he left before, it seemed that the icicles on the stone platform were shorter.

Xuan Qing suddenly had an idea in his heart, and his long eyebrows were slightly tightened.

Wu Xin and Wu Yuan were still beating around to see if they could come across any mechanism or something. Seeing that Xuan Qing had been standing there motionless, she couldn't help asking worriedly, "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Xuan Qing raised his head and looked at the stone platform in mid-air, "Which of you can go there and have a look?"

Wu Yuan made a gesture, and his expression was not very good-looking, "If I am not injured, I can use my strength to fly, but at this time..."

Wuxin tried to climb the stone wall for a while, but it was too smooth, so he shook his head in frustration.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound behind them, and when they turned around, they saw the child standing at the entrance of the cave, turning the protruding stone with both hands, and the next moment, after the rumbling sound, there was a staircase hidden behind the stone wall. slowly revealed.

This ladder extends from the entrance of the cave all the way along the stone wall past the stone platform to the top of the cave, which is where the previous crack opened.

In other words, as long as the switch is found to open the crack, they can get out.

Xuan Qing's eyes fell on the stone platform.

……

At this time, on the top of the snow-capped mountain, the dawn was slightly dew, and a fierce battle had subsided.

Bai Muzhi, Wu Yao, Yan Fei and Jiang Qimo were all still alive, but they were not the winners.After all, no matter how powerful the martial arts are, there will be times when the strength is exhausted, and the torches will also be burned out.

But at dawn, those puppets left quietly as if they had come.

But not necessarily, there are also their disciples.

Now there are only a few people with relatively strong martial arts left.

Bai Muzhi's white clothes were stained with blood at this time, but he was not seriously injured.Wu Yao was covered in blood and was panting heavily.Yan Fei on one side needs to rely on a sword to stand up.

And Jiang Qimo was also covered in injuries at this time, and was kneeling in a daze at the place where Xuan Qing disappeared yesterday, with a dull expression on his face, the blood in his hands had been frozen, probably caused by picking up that crack.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he stood up and grabbed Wu Yao's collar tightly, and said coldly, "You fell with them, why did you only come out?"

Wu Yao seemed to be touched to a sore spot, and pushed him away like crazy, pointing his sword at him wobbly, "My brother was also buried below! Are you asking me this now? I want to know too?"

"Brother, are you missing me? I'm back." Wu Yuan's cold voice suddenly sounded, as if it contained biting hatred.

The place where Jiang Qimo was kneeling and sitting just now was cracked again, but Xuanqing and the three of them walked up the stairs slowly step by step.

Wu Yao's body was stiff, he waved his sword wildly and backed away in disbelief, "Brother Yuan?"

When he saw that the ice layer on one side was completely cracked and stopped, and several people slowly stood still, he staggered back a few steps and fell on the snow, especially when his eyes fell on Wu Yuan, who was missing an arm. When he was in the same place, his expression was even more stiff, and he didn't dare to look up at him again.

"Brother was surprised to see me? Maybe he didn't expect that my younger brother, whom you used as a stepping stone, would survive?" Wu Yuan gritted his teeth.

Bai Muzhi couldn't believe it, his expression changed drastically, "Brother Yuan, what did you say?"

Wu Yuan looked at Wu Yao's pale face and didn't dare to look at him, so he couldn't help spitting, "I'm really blind to be your brother! Despicable villain!"

"It was brother who was wrong before, but I had no choice but to, otherwise we both would have died there!"

Wu Yao roared with excitement.

Wu Yuan paused, but thought of Xuan Qing, a monk he had never met would not abandon him, but what about his brother?

His eyes were red, and he looked at Wu Yao's words, "If it were me, I would rather die than live by stepping on my brother's corpse."

Wu Yao's face changed drastically, and the eyes of others looking at him gradually changed from surprise to coldness.

Wu Yuan closed his eyes, opened them again, gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, "From now on, you and I will have no ties. If I see you again after I go down the mountain, I will definitely take your head. This arm of mine is the witness of the oath."

Wu Yao sat on the ground with a dead expression on his face. The eyes of the people around him were like knives piercing him, and he couldn't help but grabbed his hands deeply into the snow.

On the other side, Jiang Qimo didn't bother to care about the love and hatred between the brothers from the beginning. He was relieved when he saw Xuan Qing appear for the first time, and then hurried forward, grabbed Xuan Qing and checked, "You Are you okay? What's going on?"

Xuan Qing glanced at Wu Yao, it seemed that he didn't say anything.

"It's all right."

He briefly explained his previous experience along the way, and looking at their situation at this time, he also guessed that it must be a fierce battle.

"You mean, there's a child down here?" Bai Muzhi was a little puzzled.

Wu Yao on the side lowered his head and said coldly: "How can there be children in this kind of place? There must be a ghost. Even if you don't kill him, you should cut off one of his legs first to test it out. I'm not afraid that the people behind it won't come out."

Everyone's expressions changed, and Bai Muzhi looked at him with extreme disgust, "You can think of such a thing that is inferior to a pig or a dog? It's just crazy!"

Wu Yao almost didn't hide it at all. He stood up suddenly, pointed his sword aimlessly at everyone, and roared angrily: "Then where is the treasure? We have reached the top of the mountain, except Ice and snow and those things that are neither human nor ghost, what else?"

The rest of the people clenched their fists and were speechless for a while.

Xuan Qing glanced at the few people left around, clasped his hands together and said slowly, "The poor monk probably already knows where the treasure is."
