This time, Lianyi used the "Zhe Tian Jue" to suppress his cultivation to the late stage of Qi refining. He changed into a Taoist robe of a casual cultivator, held a compass in his hand, used the light body technique to go up the mountain, and went straight to the ruined temple.
Looking at the dilapidated place in front of him that was almost the same as an open-air platform, Lianyi glanced around and walked in.
Duoduo was still wearing a headdress on Ripple's bun, and Tornado had returned to Ripple's sleeve pocket. After entering the temple, he stuck his head out and looked around.
Lianyi took out a defensive formation disk to resist attacks in the foundation building stage and enveloped the ruined temple. Then he took out a futon and sat down, swallowed a pill, and pretended to be healing.
Yes, Lianyi played the role of a Qi-refining monk who was seriously injured. He broke into this ruined temple in a panic and used it as a temporary place to recover from his injuries.
When night fell, Ripple felt that the temple was getting colder and colder, and traces of black mist emerged from nowhere, shrouding the entire temple in a matter of seconds.
Lianyi pretended to have just noticed something unusual, and immediately jumped up from the futon, holding an extremely ordinary spirit sword in his hand, looking around, and shouted:
"Who? Come out! Don't pretend to be a fool in front of this fairy! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
With the ripples of scolding, a ghostly laughter of "hahaha" came from the surrounding black mist, and the black mist gathered together in the next breath. , transformed into a male cultivator wearing a black cloak, his pale face became more and more gloomy under the moonlight, and Lianyi knew that this man was Du Liao's half-brother Du Mingyi.
After Du Mingyi noticed that someone had intruded into his territory, he had been secretly observing the female Qi-refining cultivator. She did not do anything except heal her wounds, but he was still uneasy and waited until dark. Showing up, no matter whether the other party breaks in here accidentally or has ulterior motives, this female cultivator cannot stay.
"Are you an evil cultivator?"
Lianyi revealed the other party's identity with one word.
"Hmph! Now that you have seen it, you have no need to live anymore."
Du Mingyi snorted coldly, and directly threw out a whip made of evil energy, and rolled it towards Ripple's body. waist.
Lianyi pretended to be panicked, swung two swords, swung away the black mist whip, and then rushed towards the gate of the temple.
Du Mingyi dodged the two attacks without any attack power, and stood in front of Lianyi in a flash. Then he reached out and pinched Lianyi's neck. After all, Qi-refining monks were just ants in his eyes.
It's just that the ant Lianyi was in disguise. The moment Du Mingyi came closer, Lianyi's consciousness had turned into a sharp sword, directly piercing the opponent's sea of consciousness and searching for his soul.
When Du Mingyi sensed the crisis and wanted to turn his body into black mist again, it was already too late. The look in his eyes was instantly annihilated.
Lianyi withdrew his consciousness and popped out a red lotus karma fire, completely turning Du Mingyi into ashes.
“These evil cultivators are really capable.”
"Master, what are they arresting children for? Are they trying to practice evil arts?"
Xuanfeng stuck out his head and asked.
“They arrest children in order to train these children to become evil cultivators from an early age.”
“So that’s it.”
“And these children they stole are all It has spiritual roots.”
The other party can determine the children's spiritual roots before testing the spiritual roots, and then take advantage of them. It is conceivable how much harm will be caused to the entire Canglan Continent if these children with spiritual roots become evil cultivators in the future. .
"Let's go! Go clean up the mess."
The ripples brought the whirlwind and turned the only Buddha statue in the temple. Then they slapped it down with a palm, creating a big hole in the ground. Then he released seven red lotus karma fires into the cave entrance, and then jumped down with the whirlwind.
The ground was camouflaged by Du Mingyi using formations. After being broken open by the ripples, the evil cultivators who stayed inside immediately noticed something was wrong. The seven people inside immediately divided into two groups, and five people intercepted the ripples. Two men went to take away the children. Unfortunately, Lianyi already knew the structure of the cave through soul searching, so he directly rewarded each of the seven people with a red lotus karma fire, and let them go with Du Mingyi to keep them company. It was very neat and tidy.
When Lianyi saw the child soaked in the blood jar, he frowned. These evil cultivators actually used this method to pollute the child's spiritual roots and artificially cultivated the child into an evil cultivator suitable for practicing evil arts.
"Master, the smell here is too bad."
Xuanfeng wrinkled his nose, and even Duoduo shook his flower disk.
Lianyi also dislikes the smell here. The resentment and evil condensed in the blackened blood are almost turning into reality.
"The wind is coming!"
Ripple raised his hand and waved, and a gust of breeze blew away the unpleasant smell in the cave. Ripple waved his hand again and fished out the child who was soaked in the jar.
The three children who had just been stolen last night had not been thrown into the jar of blood. They had just been in a coma, which saved her some trouble.
Lianyi led twenty children out of the cave, and then a red lotus fire popped out, burning the entire cave clean.
Then Lianyi made secrets to gather water, put the children who had been soaked in the blood jar into the water and washed them. After taking these children out, he then entered the children's bodies with spiritual consciousness and examined them one by one.
After reading this, Ripple frowned. Five of the children were in more serious condition. Their spiritual roots were almost contaminated. Even if their spiritual roots were detected, they would only be able to practice evil in the future.
These five children all have single spiritual roots, and they also have two alien spiritual roots, so they were selected by the evil cultivators.
“Hey!”
Lianyi sighed, even though he couldn’t bear it, he finally drew a trace of red lotus karma fire and burned the spiritual roots of the five children.
Although the five children were in a coma, they still frowned in discomfort. Their faces instantly turned pale, beads of sweat formed on their foreheads, and their little faces became dull.
Lianyi fed the five children a sip of diluted spiritual spring water before their faces relaxed.
"Master, they can no longer practice in the future."
Duoduo knew better and saw that the master was helpless in doing this.
"Yes, fortunately they haven't tested their spiritual roots yet, so they won't be disappointed if they don't have expectations. This is a good thing for them."
The remaining eight children are all Dual spiritual roots, their spiritual roots were polluted to varying degrees, and it took Ripple some effort to deal with it.
Severely contaminated spiritual roots are directly burned. If it is not serious, she will let Hongye handle it as appropriate to eliminate evil spirits and try to preserve the child's spiritual roots.
After dawn the next day, the ripples swept the twenty children and returned directly to Laurel City to hand in the task.
The head of the City Lord's Mansion was sorting out the task list. When he looked up, he saw Ripples. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately said:
"Fellow Taoist, where did you go last night? Another child disappeared in the city yesterday"
"I just went to chase the evildoer, so I didn't come back all day yesterday. Fortunately, I lived up to my trust and finally rescued the child."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she waved her sleeves, and twenty children appeared neatly on the ground. After saying goodbye again, these children woke up one after another.
"This"
