Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 119 Exploration (please subscribe~)

The second floor of the pagoda.

With a muffled sound, the window suddenly opened inward.

The sound of wind and rain, like the weeping of wild animals, suddenly spread into the tower, and it was already pitch black outside the window.

The black rain was poured in by the strong wind, and was blocked by two figures who entered through the window.

In just a few seconds, the window frame was soaked in black rain. Zhao Ganwu and Yu Ke, who were communicating not far away, immediately turned around and turned their eyes to the window.

"They're coming!"

Yan Jing took off her bamboo hat, and said in a deep voice, the bloody robe scattered all over her body in black water.

Looking around, candles were lit everywhere in the corridors of the pagoda to ensure the lighting, and even a dozen of them were placed on the pedestal of the Buddha statue, but compared with the overwhelming night outside, this light source seemed insignificant.

The Buddha sculptor finally stopped carving wooden statues, but knelt down in front of the Buddha statues, reciting obscure mantras.

"The time of the evil spirit's action is earlier than expected, but it is still within the acceptable range. The sealing array has been set up, and Wu Qi is making final preparations. How is the situation on your side?"

When they set off this morning, each of them had a division of labor. After all, the pagoda had to be guarded for a while to attract all the attention of the evil spirits here. Therefore, the work of Zhao Qianwu and Yu Ke was particularly important.

"It's going well, the talisman and the bomb have been successfully planted, and three sets of corresponding evacuation plans have been prepared. It depends on how the evil spirits attack, and we will deal with it here."

Taking out the defense map from his arms and handing it to Yu Zhen, Zhao Qianwu glanced at the Buddha carver under his eyes, took two steps forward and added in a low voice,

"To be on the safe side, we buried the pagodas on the third and second floors of the pagoda. In a critical moment, sacrificing the pagoda may buy us more time."

The original plan to defend the pagoda had to be changed because He Jianbing joined the Xie Chong side and Zhao Ganwu was seriously injured. The few people present were undoubtedly decisive enough. Now that they decided to give up, the direction of consideration also changed accordingly.

The ember apostles who can participate in this multi-person event are all the best among the torches, and several of them are not short of fire points. Before entering the event, they have made purchases in the market. There will be no shortage of bombs and the like.

Now that they are all gathered together, it is not difficult to make some arrangements.

"Let's each occupy a direction to observe the situation outside. We have to confirm the location of the evil spirit before proceeding to the next step. However, we must pay attention to the state of black rain and [Wisdom Eclipse], and keep our brains awake at all times."

Yu Ke exhaled a puff of smoke, turned and walked towards the east window. Their vision would be greatly restricted in the pagoda, and they could only defend on the outer eaves of the pagoda.

Yu Zhen and Zhao Ganwu each chose a direction, and the next action has been discussed a long time ago, so there is no need to waste time reviewing the game.

However, the two turned around only to find that Yan Jing was carrying the Shuofeng sword and heading straight for the Buddha carver along the stairs.

"what happened to him."

As the Ember Apostle, Zhao Qianwu could sense the aura surging from Yan Jing's body.

"I do not know either."

Yu Zhen looked at Yan Jing's back, and was a little dazed for a while.

"The evil spirits have already started their operations, and they will arrive at the stupa soon. At that time, we will abandon the stupa and lure the evil spirits elsewhere."

Regardless of the other three, Yan Jing squatted beside the Buddha carver with a calm tone.

There's nothing to hide about what's going to happen next.

"The benefactor doesn't need to care about the pagoda. Since they escaped from the seal, I have been preparing for this day. I just ask you to kill the three evil spirits as much as possible. If they can be completely wiped out, the people in Jingjiang Town may be happy." survive a little longer."

The Buddha carver was not surprised that the pagoda was about to be destroyed, he got up and looked at Yan Jing and said.

At this time, Yan Jing realized that the Buddha carver had deteriorated a lot compared to three days ago, like a candle in the wind, and it would run out of oil at any time.

Looking at the Buddha carver, Yan Jing frowned subconsciously, realizing that she might have triggered a special task, just like the task of [Descent of Strange Demons] in the previous incident in another world, the torch would not give a clear reminder, but this kind of Extra quests can also improve settlement ratings.

"He Bo is dead, there are still two evil spirits left, I will do my best."

Without directly agreeing, Yan Jing was not sure whether he could complete the task, so he paused, and caressed the hilt of Shuo Feng's sword with his right hand, unconsciously, his tone became a little colder,

"I read about the sealing array in the Buddhist scriptures. Greed, hatred, and ignorance, and the three poisons correspond to these three evil spirits. If I remember correctly, they should all be human desires, not pure foreign demons at all. what happened?"

Yan Jing has been flipping through the Buddhist scriptures in the pagoda for the past few days, and his hard work paid off. After all, he found some clues from those obscure words.

He Bo's greed, beautiful girls' anger, idiotic children's ignorance.

Earlier at Chengjing Lake, Yan Jing was surprised by the things He Bo asked the believers to collect, but later because it was beheaded, he didn't pursue it too much. Now that he thinks about coming here, there are indeed problems.

They are clearly the root of the desires in the human heart, but the Buddha carver said that they are evil spirits from outside the territory.

The Buddha Carver must be hiding something!
"I don't think the donor needs to know what happened decades ago."

With palms together, the Buddha carver responded silently.

choke~
Shuofeng sword came out of its sheath and went straight to the Buddha carver's neck.

At the same time, the special effect of Lu Wu's golden eyes [Hole Void] was activated, and Yan Jing immediately entered the spiritual vision, staring at the Buddha carver.

The three people on the second floor sensed the movement below, and reacted in surprise.

Yu Ke just took a step forward, Yu Zhen made seals with both hands, watching the two of them, Zhao Ganwu lifted the long stick, locked his eyes on the Buddha carver, his muscles were tense, and he was ready to strike at any time.

As the blade approached the skin, confusion flashed in Yan Jing's eyes, and he turned to say in a deep voice,
"We have paid such a high price to protect Jingjiang Town, but the elders have concealed something from us. Isn't this the rule of monks?"

"I am a mortal person, and the benefactor does not need to spend any more effort. As for what happened back then, the three poisons are not the same as evil spirits. It should be said that evil spirits are born from them. Extraterrestrial demons are best at controlling the dark desires in people's hearts. They devour It became what it is today, and it will naturally be affected by it."

After the words fell, the Buddha carver turned to the Buddha statue again and said nothing more.

Yan Jing put away her saber and stood up, walked to the side stairs, took a few steps, then looked back at the Buddha carver and shook her head.

After realizing through the Buddhist scriptures that the Buddha carver was concealing something, Yan Jing once thought that there was some kind of problem with him, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

This is in the pagoda. The Buddha sculptor has been facing the Buddha statue for so many years. If there is any problem, he would have been suppressed and killed. Lu Wu's golden eyes can only see an empty human body.

Not to mention the special energy when he threatened with the sword earlier, the vitality of the Buddha carver seemed to be completely dissipated at any time.

He couldn't find out anything, and Yan Jing didn't intend to continue to ask any more questions. Just like what the Buddha carver said, it doesn't make sense to ask what happened decades ago.

After all, they are leaving tonight, nothing is as important as solving the evil in front of them!
