Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

The sky was dyed black, dead silent and without any light.

The entire sky seemed like an upside-down black pot, gloomily pressing down on the area within a thousand miles.

Looking around, the sky was filled with ghosts, some as big as whale sharks and some as small as mosquitoes, which seemed to want to devour all living things alive, but none of them dared to approach the two of them.

Tao He'er had a beam of light hanging above her head and was holding a red lantern in her hand. She walked quickly into a valley that was only two meters wide, as if she knew the way there well.

Lin Ji looked around and saw that there were also two giant statues standing on both sides of the valley.

One has a human body and a bull's head, and the other has a human body and a dog's head.

The slight difference is that these two statues have long been damaged, with cracks all over their bodies, as if they will collapse and explode at any time.

The night was also hazy in the valley, but compared to outside, it was much more normal.

Not only were there no evil spirits or ghosts, there were even a few bits of starlight falling obliquely.

But the strange thing was that the rays of light that descended from the sky did not shine everywhere, but gathered into a beam and went straight to the distant mountain. From a distance, it looked like a huge tree full of stars.

"Tianguan, look, that's it!" Tao He'er pointed to the top of the mountain and shouted happily, "Grandpa Meng is in that temple."

Lin Ji nodded, and with a wave of his hand, an invisible barrier dissipated.

When I looked again, the two were already in mid-air.

The rough path beneath his feet was made up of nothing but broken pebbles, broken magic swords, and even many shattered bones.

The small hill opposite was hanging alone in the night sky, only a hundred feet away, but it seemed like thousands of years away!

No wonder Jiang Dayu and his companions had lived here for decades without knowing there were any ruined stone temples nearby.

It turns out that the two worlds were separated by this barrier!

Lin Ji saw through it at a glance, but Tao He'er couldn't see it. She hurriedly sped up the script. As soon as she stepped into the front of the mountain, she couldn't help but shouting: "Grandpa Meng, Grandpa Meng! The Heavenly Official is here!"

Lin Ji followed behind him and looked up. The mountain was not big, and the bottom was extremely smooth. It looked like someone had cut it off from the top of a peak. In the middle of the mountain stood a bluestone palace about a hundred feet high.

Although the hall has already half collapsed and is in a dilapidated state, it is not difficult to see its former grandeur - each column is three meters thick, and the exotic beasts among the floating clouds are exquisitely carved and lifelike, as if they will jump into life at any time.

The golden eaves and jade tiles are extremely luxurious, and the Qin Palace seems like a world of difference compared to it!

What is even more surprising is that the broken bricks and stones on the ground seem to be extraordinary. They can absorb the light of the stars and the moon, which converge here and shine brightly and brilliantly.

  Inside, the spiritual energy is so full that it feels like a fairyland!

How can this be an abandoned ancient temple?

  It is clearly a temple from outer space!

"Grandpa Meng!"

Tao He'er ran into the door in three or two steps, and Lin Ji followed her in.

Sure enough, there were no statues of gods in the "temple". There was only an old man with gray hair and beard sitting alone among the rubble.

The old man was tall and wore a patched gray robe. Even when he was sitting, he was not much shorter than an ordinary person.

There was no trace of blood on his gray, thin old face, as if he had been dead for many years.

The big hand like a dead branch held a rusty carving knife and was carving something on a half-foot square block of wood.

Hearing Tao He'er's call, the old man did not raise his head or stop his work, and casually ordered: "He'er, bring me the pen and ink."

"Yes." Tao He'er responded obediently and walked straight to the back door as if she knew the way.

"Please sit down first." The old man raised his chin and greeted Lin Ji, "When I finish making this one, this will be... the last one."

Lin Ji sat down on the cushion opposite him calmly. He had noticed as soon as he entered the room that the old man's eye sockets were dark and empty like a dry well, as if someone had dug them out.

Plus, he has six fingers on both hands!

Rustle... As the wood chips flew, the statue in the old man's hand gradually took shape.

It turned out to be Lin Ji's appearance.

"call!"

  The old man blew a breath, and the debris on the wood carving fell off. A Lin Ji with a long sword hanging from his waist and looking into the distance appeared immediately. Not only did he look lifelike, but even his eyes had a light flowing, as if he was about to come alive!

"Grandpa Meng..."

Soon, Tao He'er came back and walked closer with a small square box in her hand.

The old man opened the box, took out a pen and ink, and casually tapped on the carved wood carving.

shhhhhh...

As the old man wrote, the starlight absorbed inside and outside the hall converged towards the wood carving.

In an instant, the wood carving sparkled, and forbidden spells floated into the air.

Click!

There was a sudden thunder outside the hall, shaking the whole hall.

Tao He'er seemed to be used to it and was not frightened at all. Instead, she looked at Lin Ji with interest.

Click!

Click...

Thunder roared one after another!

After the thunder, the bright starlight that was originally scattered all around also disappeared along with the rolling thunder.

But the hall suddenly became as bright as day. Lin Ji looked around and saw dozens of wooden sculptures neatly arranged in the corners.

Each one of them is exactly the same as the one in the old man’s hand, all of them are Lin Ji.

"Done! Done! Hahahaha!" The old man glanced at the wooden sculpture in his hand, was slightly stunned, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahahaha… God helped me! I finally succeeded! Hahahaha…"

The wild and unrestrained laughter echoed inside and outside the hall.

After a long while, the old man turned to Lin Ji and said with a smile: "The big thing is done! You can go to the ruins of the gods!"

"Senior." Lin Ji looked at the statue and asked curiously, "Have you and I seen it before?"

"More than just seeing him..." The old man smiled and said, "Not long ago, I even delivered a letter for the little ghost of the Jian family outside Xiangzhou City."

"Senior is... the Yin-Yang Dayan King?!" Lin Ji was shocked. The Yin-Yang Dayan King he saw at that time was just a shadow, but he didn't look like this.

Moreover, where does this “last time” come from?

Have we met before? I just never noticed it.

Although the old man had no eyes, he seemed to be able to see through Lin Ji's thoughts at a glance. He smiled and replied, "Thousands of people have thousands of faces, and they are all different. What's more, my real body is trapped here, so I can only travel with my soul. The souls I use are naturally different!"

"In fact, I have known your charm since you broke through the sky. Why do I need to see it in person? It's just that I wanted to see the quality of you, the newly chosen one, on a whim."

The old man shook the wooden sculpture in his hand and said solemnly: "This thing is called Tianyan Nail. There are forty-nine of them, no more, no less, which means forty-nine from the sky. The remaining one is you."

"I have made this thing three times in total. The first time, I used me as the image, but I almost touched the Tiangang and had to sacrifice my eyes to save my life. The second time, I made it for Tianji, but unfortunately, although he is the descendant of Qingsang, he can't bear the great fortune of Haotian. This time, I used you as the image, and it should be right! Now, you have the sword and seal in your hand. It is exactly the same as Xuanyuan Wuji back then. What's more, there are those little ghosts to help you, so it should be no problem to go to Shenxu!"

"Shenxu..." Lin Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, are you saying that Mr. Jian and Master Qiu are also in Shenxu now?" (End of this chapter)
