Chapter 59
......
Zhang Yuan took a step forward with a smile, pretended not to recognize the other party's identity, raised his hands and returned the greeting: "It is the disciple of Qingyun Sect, I am Zhang Yuan, I don't know if you all Where do you come from, and what is your value?”
That white and pure peace? Shang smiled slightly, clasped his hands and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is the Dharma form of Tianyin Temple, and this is my junior brother Fashan. We are here to eliminate demons, defend the Tao, and fight against the demons of the demon sect together."
When Zhang Yuan heard this, his heart moved. It turned out that these two people were eminent monks from Tianyin Temple.
He had long heard of the name of Tianyin Temple and knew that it was one of the three sects of the righteous path. The eminent monks in the temple had profound cultivation and superb Buddhist teachings. Although the prestige is not as high as that of Qingyun Sect, the Taoism of Buddhism makes him very envious.
Zhang Yuan’s understanding is incredible.
It would be a bit of a waste to just practice one skill.
So if he came out to practice this time, he would have established several small goals by himself.
The first small goal is to find a way to deceive Buddhist techniques.
The second small goal is to find a way to deceive the magic method into a few chapters.
This can be started from Baguio, the young master of the Ghost King Sect.
Zhang Yuan turned to look at the strong man with thick eyebrows, and saw that the man's face was full of flesh, but there was a light in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not a thing in the pool. He thought to himself: "Although this man looks fierce, , but his eyes are very sharp, and he seems to be a master."
When the strong man saw Zhang Yuan looking at him, he grinned, showing two rows of white teeth, but he was not good at words, but he could say a word. Not sent either.
At this time, Dharma Prime raised his head, pointed his finger at the two companions next to him, and said lightly: "These two are the most outstanding disciples in Fenxiang Valley, and their names are Li Xun and Yan Hong."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, pretended not to recognize the other party, and smiled.
“It turns out you are a master disciple of Fenxiang Valley.”
“I have heard of your names a long time ago.”
Li Xun saw Zhang Yuan looking at him , nodded slightly, and Yan Hong also smiled and nodded in response.
Seeing this, Fa Xiang smiled and said: "It seems that we are all here for the same goal. The devils of the demon religion are harming the world, and we who are on the right path have our duty to fight together."
Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement and said: "Brother Fa Xiang is right. The demon cult is indeed very harmful, and we must work together to eradicate it. I wonder what your plans are?"
Fa Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "We The plan is to go to Kongsang Mountain to explore first and see what the demon cult demons are like. Conspiracy. Junior Brother Zhang Yuan, are you willing to go together? "
"To be honest, we just escaped from Kongsang Mountain. There are many blood-colored bats kept in captivity in Kongsang Mountain. It can be said that it is full of dangers." Yuan thought of the scene just now, and you were frightened for a while.
"Yes."
"Thanks to my junior brother. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would all be found in Kongsang Mountain." Lu Xueqi nodded in agreement, keeping her eyes on Zhenyuan On her body, it is obvious that she already has the feeling of marrying a chicken and following the chicken, marrying a dog and following the dog.
Junior brother has the final say in everything.
Hearing the words, Dharma Prime Minister showed a trace of surprise on his face. He then regained his composure, clasped his hands and said, "So it turns out that it is a blessing that Junior Brother Zhang Yuan and all of you are safe and sound. Since Kongsang Mountain is already so dangerous, then we However, you need to proceed with caution now that you have experienced it. If you understand the situation there, you may be able to provide us with valuable information."
Lu Xueqi took over and said with a solemn expression: "What Senior Brother Faxiang said is very true. There is not only magic in Kongsang Mountain. The captive blood-red bats, as well as many traps and magic tricks, Our group is surrounded by dangers. If it weren’t for my junior brother’s wit and bravery, we might not be able to escape safely.”
Zhang Yuan smiled slightly and said humbly: “Senior Sister Lu, I was lucky. That’s it. But now that we know the dangers If it is dangerous, we can make preparations in advance to reduce unnecessary casualties."
Hearing this, Li Xun frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Junior brother Zhang Yuan is right, but the Demon Cult demons are cunning. We must always be vigilant and not take it lightly.”
Yan Hong nodded in agreement: "Yes, we must make a careful plan to ensure the success of the operation."
The Prime Minister nodded in agreement: "Junior Brother Li Xun and Junior Sister Yan Hong are absolutely right. Since we We have already gathered together, so we should brainstorm and come up with the best plan of action."
Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed and he suggested: "I think it is getting late now, and it is the bloody bat that is active. hour We can go back to the foot of the mountain to rest for a night and then conduct reconnaissance on the outside of Kongsang Mountain the next morning to find out the movements and layout of the demons. Then we can formulate a specific action plan based on the results of the reconnaissance. "
Lu Xueqi nodded in agreement: "Junior Brother's suggestion is good. This will not only reduce our risks, but also improve the success rate of the operation."
Fa Xiang nodded slightly and agreed. Then, he turned to look at the strong man with thick eyebrows and asked: "Junior Brother Fashan, what do you think?"
Fashan grinned, showing two rows of white teeth, and said in a rough voice: "I have no objection, just do what Junior Brother Zhang Yuan said!"
Fashan smiled when he saw that everyone was in agreement. He nodded and said: "Since everyone has If there is no objection, then we will act according to this plan. Let’s find a safe place to rest at the foot of the mountain tonight, and then go to the outside of Kongsang Mountain to investigate early tomorrow morning.”
As the night grew darker, the group walked along the winding road. The mountain road descends slowly.
Zhang Yuan walked at the front of the team, looking back from time to time to check on everyone to make sure everyone could keep up.
Lu Xueqi followed closely behind him, her eyes full of trust and dependence.
Soon, they found a leeward mountain col, surrounded by lush trees that blocked the moonlight, making it appear quite secluded.
Fa Xiang and others stopped one after another and began to build a temporary camp.
Zhang Yuan looked around for dry firewood and prepared to light a fire to keep warm.
The fire quickly burned, reflecting the tired but determined faces of everyone. The Dharma minister sat cross-legged next to the fire, closed his eyes and meditated, and seemed to be reciting scriptures silently.
Lu Xueqi was quietly arranging equipment and preparing for tomorrow's investigation.
Zhang Yuan started talking with Li Xun, Yan Hong and others. They discussed the various strange methods of the devil and the dangers they might encounter.
Li Xun looked solemn, obviously wary of evil spirits; while Yan Hong seemed more optimistic. She believed that as long as everyone worked together, they would be able to defeat evil.
Fa Shanze was munching dry food silently on the side, occasionally looking up into the distance, with a firm light shining in his eyes.
In the dead of night, the fire gradually extinguished, leaving only weak sparks flickering in the darkness. Everyone lay down to rest, recharge their batteries, and prepare for tomorrow's battle.
But Zhang Yuan was lying in the tent, but no matter how much he tossed and turned, he couldn't fall asleep.
In the dead of night, to be honest, he wanted to play with Lu Xueqi's feet.
The night is long. When will it be dawn?
Zhang Yuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The key is that you can't take the initiative to find Lu Xueqi at this time. Now there are not only people from Qingyun Sect here, but also people from Fenxiang Valley and Buddhism.
If he goes into Lu Xueqi’s room.
Then it will definitely not come out.
Who can bear that huge voice of support?
Lu Xueqi is thin-skinned.
I definitely don’t want to do this kind of thing.
And Master Shuiyue and Master Cangsong are still following secretly.
No matter how beastly Zhang Yuan is.
It is impossible to do such a thing in public.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and shone on everyone's faces, they all stood up and began to organize their equipment.
Zhang Yuan stood on a high place, looking at Kongsang Mountain in the distance, praying secretly in his heart, hoping that everything would go smoothly for this operation.
Then, after eating and drinking, the group walked along the mountain road and came to the outskirts of Kongsang Mountain.
They carefully hid themselves in the woods and observed what was going on around them. The large number of people made them courageous. As a group of them walked slowly up the mountain, a lot of their inner fear was dissipated.
Suddenly.
Zhang suddenly stopped halfway and looked forward with a look of disbelief on his face. On the top of the mountain in the distance, black shadows were seen passing through the night sky. They were blood-colored bats raised by demons.
Zhang Yuan's heart tightened. He knew very well how powerful these bats were. Once discovered by them, the consequences would be disastrous. He immediately signaled everyone to be alert and not to make any noise.
Everyone held their breath and waited quietly.
After a while, the bat did not find any trace of them and flew away silently. .
Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lu Xueqi's faint voice came over, and her voice was full of doubts.
“Didn’t you say that the bats in Kongsang Mountain are only active at night? Why do they appear during the day now? It’s quite weird.”
Zhang Yuan frowned and looked at the Looking in the direction where the bats disappeared, he said in a deep voice: "It's really strange. These blood-colored bats should normally appear at night. Now they appear during the day. I'm afraid something happened in Kongsang Mountain that we don't know about."
Dharma Xiang slowly opened his eyes, clasped his hands together, and said softly: "There is a cloud in Buddhism, and everything has its time. This vision may be a warning to us that we need to be cautious during this trip."
Li Xun His expression became more solemn, he clenched the sword in his hand, and said: "No matter what, we need to be more careful, the demons are so cunning. , you have to be on guard.”
Although Yan Hong was a little uneasy, she still tried to remain optimistic and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, everyone, those monsters will not dare to show up easily as long as we are here.”< br>
Lu Xueqi stood quietly aside, her eyes bright, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she spoke softly: "Perhaps, we can use this opportunity to find out what happened in Kongsang Mountain."
Zhang Yuan nodded in agreement and said: "What Xue Qi said is absolutely true, but We must be cautious and not act rashly. Dharma, are you proficient in Buddhism, can you sense whether there is any danger around you? ”
Faxiang closed his eyes and concentrated, opened his eyes after a moment, and shook his head: "The spiritual energy here is mixed and it is difficult to sense it accurately. But don't worry, everyone, I will always pay attention to the movements around me."
After everyone discussed it, they decided Keep going, but more cautiously. They slowly walked up the mountain road, taking every step with extreme caution, for fear of making any noise and causing unnecessary trouble.
On the way, Zhang Yuan looked back from time to time to check on everyone to make sure everyone could keep up. Lu Xueqi followed closely behind him. There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, and they could understand each other's thoughts without saying anything.
Suddenly, there was a slight noise coming from the front, and everyone immediately stopped and looked warily towards the direction of the sound. I saw a bloody bat quietly appearing not far from them at some point, staring at them with its scarlet eyes.
“Be careful!” Zhang Yuan reminded in a low voice, and at the same time slowly drew out his sword, preparing to deal with possible dangers.
The bat seemed to sense the hostility of the crowd, and let out a sharp hiss, then fluttered its wings and disappeared into the sky.
"It seems that they have discovered us." Li Xun clenched his sword tightly with a firm gaze.
Zhang Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, prepare to fight. The devil is probably nearby."
After hearing this, everyone drew their weapons and prepared for battle. At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the front, and then, several figures in black robes appeared in their sight.
"Devil!" Li Xun shouted angrily and rushed out first.
A fierce battle broke out immediately. Zhang Yuan, Lu Xueqi and others each used their knowledge and launched a desperate struggle against the evil demon. In the light of swords and shadows, the two sides fought back and forth, fighting inextricably.
"Zhang Yuan, be careful!" Lu Xueqi suddenly shouted, and saw a black shadow coming from the side and heading straight for Zhang Yuan's vitals.
Zhang Yuan reacted very quickly, dodged sideways, and at the same time struck the sword with his backhand, splitting the black shadow in half. However, more demons and monsters came like a tide, leaving them in a bitter battle.
"Everyone, hold on, we will definitely win!" Yan Hong encouraged everyone loudly, waving the long sword in her hand tightly.
Fa Xiangze was silently reciting scriptures on the side and blessing everyone with Dharma protection, which greatly improved their combat effectiveness.
After a fierce battle, everyone finally defeated the evil demon. They collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, their faces full of exhaustion and fear.
After the battle, there was silence all around, with only the heavy breathing of everyone echoing in the ears. Zhang Yuan looked up at the sky. The sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow shone on the scarred mountain road, adding a bit of desolation to the battlefield.
He stood up slowly, his eyes becoming deep again, as if he was looking for something. "Everyone, the terrain here is a bit weird."
Zhang Yuan's voice broke the silence. He pointed to a mountain peak not far away and said, "The shape of that mountain peak is similar to the ancient Ten Thousand Bats recorded in ancient books. The place where the cellar is located is very similar.”
After hearing this, everyone stood up and looked in the direction pointed by Zhang Yuan. I saw that the mountain peak was extremely steep, and the top of the mountain was shrouded in dense clouds. There seemed to be a faint sound of bats flapping their wings coming from the clouds.
"Could that be the entrance to the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cellar?" Lu Xueqi's eyes flashed with surprise. She had heard the legend of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cellar and knew that it was an extremely dangerous place, but at the same time it also hid endless secrets and treasures. .
