Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 96
The essence of the female worm is condensed from the essence captured by the spirit glove.

Yan Jing originally used it as a strengthening item, but he didn't expect to use it at this time.

The Zerg has a small physique, but the speed of devouring the essence is not slow.

The same as Zerg, this part of energy is obviously not only enough to fill its stomach, the previous

The purple-black lines on its back spread to the whole body at an extremely fast speed, showing a translucent luster, and it didn't take long for several cracks to open.

It should have taken a while to transform, but it was completed at an extremely fast speed under the stimulation of the female insect essence.

The Zerg that completed the initial metamorphosis is obviously a circle bigger than when it was just hatched, and this seems to be just the beginning, because there is still a lot of spirit left on the window frame, and the core energy of the mother bug is obviously not what a larva can absorb digested in a short time.

Yan Jing used the Shuofeng sword to cut open her index finger, and approached the zerg, the latter refused to admit it was alive, with two front claws clinging to both ends of the finger, watching the somewhat uncomfortable mouthparts approaching the blood beads, somewhat similar to rice grains A scarlet luster flashed across the pupils of his eyes.

The blood contract is established!
Without any assistance, Yan Jing immediately sensed the excitement of the Zerg in front of him.

The originally hideous and terrifying image now feels inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

Since the Zerg eggs have already hatched, it seems that the torch space can't hold this kind of life form at present, so Yan Jing simply took out a satchel from the space, put the Zerg and the spirit into it together, and waited for it to completely transform.

Go back to the first floor of the pagoda.

Zhao Qianwu and the others were still checking the magic circle from behind, Yan Jing didn't intend to get close to it, but looked at the Buddha statue occupying most of the space in the tower.

Its posture is different from that of the Sandu Buddha statue. Although they are all sitting cross-legged, the latter's hands are naturally overlapped on the abdomen, forming a ring shape, while the Buddha statue in front of him has his left hand on his lap and his right hand holding his finger.

In recent years, it is obviously impossible to clean the Buddha statue frequently due to the old monk's physical condition, which makes his body covered with a lot of dust.

"Elder, you just said that mixing the gold powder from this Buddha statue into the Sandu Buddha statue and praying scriptures can suppress evil spirits. Can I scrape some gold powder and put it on the weapon?"

Yan Jing raised her hand to wipe off the robe of the Buddha statue, and when she closed her hand, there was already some dark golden powder between her fingernails.

"Gold powder itself has no use against evil spirits. What is really important is the power of vows contained in it. As long as it is on this Buddha statue, it can have the same effect. It only needs to be awakened by scriptures, and the common people By praying day after day, the Sandu Buddha statue has the ability to protect them."

Holding a mallet and a chisel in his hand, the monk carved the Buddha statue with a slightly slow movement, and explained without raising his head.

"It turns out that the power of vows is the most important thing, but in Jingjiang Town today, there are not so many people who believe in Buddhism. I came all the way before, and all I saw were townspeople who were full of evil spirits. To marry He Bo is really crazy."

Rubbing the gold powder on her fingertips, feeling nothing about them, Yan Jing turned and leaned against the base of the Buddha statue, folded her arms in front of her chest, and asked,

"I remember what the elder said earlier, these three evil spirits escaped from the pagoda through a lunar eclipse. In other words, they appeared in this world a long time ago. What are they?"

This question actually has nothing to do with this incident.

Yan Jing didn't ask for the next action, but because the three worlds he had experienced so far had similar situations without exception.

The evil spirits that suddenly appeared in the [Ghost Gate] incident, the strange demons in the [Sand Sea Rafting], and the foreign evil spirits that appeared in this [Jingjiang Strange Town] now.

Their names, appearances, and even the abilities they display may vary.

But one thing is similar, that is, they do not belong to the world to which the event itself belongs, and there is no sign or reason for its appearance.

Yan Jing once thought that the world in which each event is located is deliberately created by the Torch, like a computer game, everything in it is just a program, but the Torch itself is constantly evolving, which makes him doubt it.

If it is said that their experiences are all real worlds that exist in another time and space.

One or two times is a coincidence, so what about three or four times or even more?

The Bureau of Special Affairs has done a special investigation in this area, and the facts have proved that the world that the Ember Apostles are currently experiencing is suffering from disasters without exception.

At least at the current stage of the Torch, it is deliberately choosing this kind of world to experience the Ember Apostles.

This cannot but make people think about its intention.

However, this question raised by Yan Jing is destined to have no answer.

"No one knows their origins. Those monsters erode the sanity of the people and ravage all over the place unreasonably. It is said that in the mountains of Lingnan Prefecture, there are even black meat balls like hills, with huge tentacles growing on the top."

The monk put down the tools in his hands, and finally looked up at Yan Jing, a look of fright flashed across his uncertain face, as if just recalling the news about that monster was a bit unbearable.

"One more thing, if we successfully kill He Bo, Xiu Nu and Yu Tong, will Jingjiang Town be able to return to its original state?"

"If the seal in the pagoda can be repaired, there is still a chance, but it is a pity that this is impossible in a short time."

The monk gave the method, but shook his head, denying it himself.

"why?"

Yan Jing was a little confused.

It stands to reason that once the most powerful evil spirit of the three dies, if the mental state of the people in Jingjiang Town can recover, they can take advantage of the gap between the evil spirits to complete the repairs.

"The sealing circle is only auxiliary, the real key of the pagoda lies in it."

The monk raised his arm, pointed at the Buddha statue with gray-stained fingers, and said in a muffled voice,

"The wish power it carries is the key to the operation of the magic circle, and this power has been gradually consumed over the years. Without the support of the wish power, no matter how perfect it is, the powerful magic circle is just an empty shell."

There is no doubt that the operation of the magic circle needs the support of energy, and the dilapidated and deserted pagodas in recent years can be seen from the state of the Buddha statues.
Yan Jing did not continue to ask further questions.

The day after tomorrow is the Hungry Ghost Festival, perhaps no matter what the outcome of their actions, the future of Jingjiang Town cannot be changed.

It seems that he, a "outsider", doesn't need to worry about such things.

After a while, several people who checked the sealing circle returned one after another, and it seemed that the situation was not all that bad.

"It's more complicated than imagined. It takes time to calculate and try before we have a chance to repair the magic circle. However, what we lack most now is time. We can only do our best. It is difficult to perfect it in a short time."

Yu Zhen briefly described the situation, and the implication was very clear that there should be no hope of using the sealing circle to fight against evil spirits.

At this time, there was less than half an hour left before You Time.

According to the plan, the team should set off at this time to find the place where He Bo got married.

However, Yan Jing and the others left the pagoda through the window by the same route.

Immediately found that there is no need to look for it deliberately, and it is easy to see where the place is.

Due to the weather, it was only late in the evening, and most areas in Jingjiang Town were already shrouded in darkness. It was also in this environment that two areas decorated with lights were particularly eye-catching.

Yan Jing stood on the eaves of the second floor to roughly distinguish the location.

One is by the lake in Jingjiang Town, the area covered by lights is obviously larger than the other, especially the pavilions in the middle of the lake, there are many red lanterns hanging, presumably it should be a "wedding" host venue.

The other place should be the bride's home. Not only is it small in size, but it is also surrounded by silent and dark streets.

On the way to the pagoda, they had already seen the bride being carried away by bearers. They thought it was impossible to go back to her mother's house at that time, which meant that the bride should already be by the lake at this time.

No need to say anything else, several people jumped off the roof at the same time and rushed to the target location
It's just that as the footsteps step down the street, the distance from the pagoda is getting farther and farther.

The surrounding wind and rain seem to have expanded a little bit, and the wet and cold feeling is eroding all parts of the body all the time.

Time is still passing.

Yan Jing is keenly aware that the surrounding environment is changing.
Not only that, at this time several people realized that in the pagoda, the negative state of wisdom erosion was actually suppressed to a certain extent.

Now stepping into the storm again means that they have to face the horror in the dark.

[Smart Erosion] 91%
Glancing at the current situation in the negative state, it is still within the acceptable range.

But even so, Yan Jing still noticed certain existences that were gradually waking up in the darkness.

Until the moment when the unitary hour arrives.

The gust of wind was coming, but the rain that should have also rushed was pouring on the back and neck.

The branches of the willow trees by the road are shaking, the bark is cracked, and the round eyes are looking out; under the eaves of the high house, there are several tentacles extending out from the bird's nest, grabbing at the beams of the house, twisting non-stop; the narrow street In the alley, creepy roars gradually sounded
You hour has passed.

Live and die at your own risk!

　Later, maybe early morning
