Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 159 158, My Innate Ability Turns Out to Be Lucky!
clang!

With a crisp sound, the crystal chip fell steadily into the brass tray.

After the young man in brocade clothes bet, the screen in the silver mirror continued to play.

Four pathfinders stepped over the threshold and plunged into the darkness, and soon there was a scream coming from the screen of Temple Yi.

Amidst the screams, the screen of "Temple Yi" expanded, squeezing the remaining three screens into the corner of the silver mirror. At the same time, the darkness in the screen receded and became brighter, showing the death of the pathfinder at the entrance of Temple B:

From the left shoulder to the right crotch, it was split in half obliquely, and the bloody stomach and intestines spilled all over the ground.

At this time, in the silver mirror, the scene of the death of the "Yi Temple" Pathfinder began to play back.

I saw the man dressed as a warrior, holding a big knife, carefully crossing the threshold, and just took two steps in the darkness, a black body, with dark green skull patterns on the arm, a huge man the height of a man Mantis appeared behind him like a ghost out of thin air, swung a saber arm, and cut the man in half obliquely in one stroke.

While the screen was playing back, under the silver mirror, the brass tray containing the chips vibrated, and the crystal chip inside, which represented one thousand silver dollars, disappeared out of thin air.

But Mr. Jin Yi didn't care about winning or losing at all.

Seeing the scene where the man was hacked to death, Young Master Jinyi's eyes flashed with excitement, he laughed loudly and slapped his thigh:
"Exciting! Every time I see Ghost Saber Praying Mantis slashing at a living person, that feeling is even more enjoyable than my own slashing with a knife! Come on!"

The woman next to him immediately filled a glass of wine for the young man in brocade, handed it to his mouth, and fed him to drink.

After drinking a glass of wine, the young man in brocade clothes stared at the picture in the silver mirror again, waiting to bet again.

Among the "remains".

Shen Lang stepped out of the temple gate, only to feel that the ground under his feet had turned into a hard stone slab.

There were three Taoist monks staring at him from behind. Shen Lang didn't dare to use the "spiritual power scan" lightly. He only transported his inner power to his eyes, concentrated his eyesight, and looked around.

With the blessing of internal force, Shen Lang's eyesight increased greatly, he could barely see through the darkness, and saw the surrounding situation clearly.

Just outside the temple gate, there is no longer a mountain forest and wilderness, but a square corridor.

This corridor is nearly two feet wide and more than one foot high. The ground is paved with solid stones, with stone walls on both sides and a rock top above.

On the stone wall on the left, there is a mechanism like a doorknob.

Shen Lang pondered for a while, walked over to touch the bracket, and tried to turn it clockwise.

The machine kaka turned half a circle, and then heard the sound of "hoo hoo", the scarlet flames ignited successively from near to far, illuminating the corridor ahead.

It turns out that there are oil lamps hanging on the two walls of the corridor every twenty steps.Turn the switch, and the oil lamps will be lit one by one.

It wasn't until Shen Lang lit the lamp that the woman in Tsing Yi took two followers and stepped out of the temple gate together with the monk who killed the door.

Qin Wuyue also took out two artificial legs made of iron and wood from the dark compartment of the sedan chair, put them on her knees, got up and got off the sedan chair.When walking, they are as light and flexible as real legs, without being stiff and clumsy at all, presumably it is some kind of Taoism mechanism.

She walked out of the temple gate with four gray-clothed boys with long swords on their backs, came to the corridor, squinted and looked into the distance.

At this moment, the woman in Tsing Yi spoke slowly:
"The corridor is about a hundred feet long by visual inspection. It looks ordinary, but there must be traps."

The door-killing monk smiled and looked at Shen Lang:

"Qin Shubao, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and explore the way!"

Shen Lang snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice:
"I heard that a ninth-rank monk can practice the technique of summoning Taoist soldiers, and can summon skeletons and zombies. Since you are all monks, why don't you summon Taoist soldiers to explore the way?"

Qin Wuyue giggled:
"Brother Qin, I don't know how many dangerous traps are hidden in these ruins. Of course, our spells should be saved as much as possible. If we can replace them with people, we will replace them with people as much as possible. Brother Qin, don't embarrass little sister, take the initiative Wasn't it good before?"

Shen Lang turned his head and glanced at the three of them, snorted softly, raised the pair of copper maces and stepped forward cautiously.

……

"Four ghost knife mantises are about to enter the arena at the same time, and a ghost knife mantis of equal strength will appear at the four entrances at the same time. The second bet: A, B, C, D, four entrances, which one will have casualties first? Odds... The third bet: Four places The entry team, which team can kill Ghost Saber Mantis first? Odds... If two bets are combined, the winner will pay twenty."

"Two bets together?"

Young Master Jin Yi shook his head:
"Forget it, I haven't done anything yet, how can I tell the strength of the four teams? Besides, these four teams are all made up temporarily. There is intrigue... When something really happens, a team with a strong surface strength may not be the first to suffer casualties. It is more reliable to bet alone."

Pick up two crystal chips and throw them into the tray:
"Team B died when they went out. It's the worst luck. For the second bet, I bet that Team B will be the first to suffer casualties."

He picked up three more crystal chips and threw them into the tray:

"The third bet... the 'Qin Yaonv' from team A is good-looking and imposing. I like this kind of witches the most. I bet 3000 yuan, betting that Qin Yaonv's team will kill the ghost knife mantis first!"

……

In the tunnel, Shen Lang took every step carefully, walking carefully at the front.

The two attendants of the girl in Tsing Yi followed behind Shen Lang with swords in hand, followed by the girl in Tsing Yi and the monk Miemen.

Qin Wuyue clasped her hands in her sleeves, walked on a pair of artificial legs, and walked silently behind the girl in green and the monk who killed the door, and the four boys in gray walked at the end with their swords in hand.

As they were walking, a faint light suddenly flashed behind the team.

Afterwards, a huge mantis with a height of one person and a pitch-black body, with a dark green skull pattern on its saber arm, appeared out of nowhere behind the four gray-clothed boys.

This knife was extremely sharp, as fast as lightning, but there was no sound of breaking the wind, until the blade cut on the shoulder of the gray-clothed boy, the gray-clothed boy reacted and sounded a warning: "There is..."

As soon as he uttered a word, the arm of the mantis saber sliced ​​through his shoulder, cutting him in half obliquely from shoulder to hip.

But the boy in gray didn't die for a while, and he didn't even let out a scream. When half of his body fell, he raised his long sword expressionlessly and stabbed at the chest of Ghost Saber Mantis.

The other three gray-clothed boys also turned around and drew out their swords at the same time, and the three sword lights attacked Ghost Saber Mantis's ribs and head.

The four gray-clothed boys have superb swordsmanship, and the blades are also attached with extremely pure and profound internal force. They are all warriors who have completed the sixth rank.

However, in the face of the joint attack of the four people, Ghost Saber Mantis only swung away a pair of saber arms, swaying a group of afterimages, and heard a few crisp clangs, and in an instant, all four long swords were swung away. .

When the swords collided, the three gray-clothed boys trembled and staggered back with a muffled grunt.The half body of the beheaded boy in gray was thrown flying, hitting the wall with a bang, blood dripping everywhere.

At the same time, Ghost Saber Mantis spread its membranous wings on its back, and its huge body turned into a black afterimage. Suddenly, it rushed towards a boy in gray, and slashed horizontally with its arms, taking the head of the boy in gray.

Seeing that the gray-clothed boy was about to die, there was a loud chirp:
"Certainly!"

Ghost Saber Mantis froze all over, and the saber arm barely hovered an inch away from the neck of the boy in gray.

The gray-clothed boy who had escaped from death did not change his face, nor did he take the opportunity to retreat. Instead, he took a step forward, raised his long sword expressionlessly, and stabbed the ghost knife mantis at the junction of the head and neck.The other two gray-clothed boys also stabbed at the same place with their swords, one on the left and one on the right.

Puff puff!
Three soft sounds, three sharp swords with pure internal force pierced the head and neck joint of Ghost Knife Mantis at the same time, splashing dark green blood.

The three gray-clothed boys were about to twist their wrists, rotate the sword body, and pry the Ghost Saber Mantis's head off. Suddenly, the Ghost Saber Mantis' body shook, and it broke free from the control of the spell. The boy in gray was split into two pieces along the midline of his body!

When the two halves of the gray-clothed boy in the front were separated from the left and right, the two gray-clothed boys on both sides finally seized the opportunity to pry hard, prying the ghost knife mantis' head off.

The huge body of Ghost Saber Mantis fell to the ground with a bang, its limbs twitched slightly, and then remained silent.

Looking at the broken corpses of the two gray-clothed boys, and then at the headless corpse of the Ghost Knife Mantis, Qin Wuyue's pale and sickly cheeks flushed slightly with anger, and there was a flash of hostility in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"As expected of the Great Daoist's Leftover Mansion... unexpectedly, just as he came in, he bumped into the Ghost Saber Mantis!"

"Ghost Saber Mantis?"

Obviously he was exploring the way ahead, but in the end he was unscathed. Shen Lang, who had been watching the show the whole time, asked curiously.

Qin Wuyue glared at Shen Lang coldly, and snorted coldly:
"It's none of your business, explore the way!"

She killed two boys and cast a seventh-rank "fixing spell". Now she is in a bad mood, so she has no time to solve Shen Lang's confusion.

On the other hand, the girl in Tsing Yi, seeing Qin Wuyue deflated, seemed to be in a better mood, and said with a smile:

"The ghost knife mantis is a very dangerous monster. When the world was in chaos and monsters were overgrown more than a hundred years ago, it once raged in the east for a while. After the founding of the Great Chu, it was almost wiped out. Now it is only in the remote mountains and old forests. A little remains.

"This monster is endowed with the ability of 'Void Teleportation'. It can move and flash within ten feet, appearing and disappearing. It attacks silently, and even the disturbance of the airflow is minimal.

"Waiting for a sixth-rank martial artist, if he is flashed and attacked behind him, he will not know how he died until he dies. Even if he faces the attack head-on, he must have a fifth-rank martial artist to resist it."

The door-killing monk also said hesitantly:

"Even though the four boys, Senior Qin, are a bit stupid, they all have the cultivation base of the sixth rank, and their swordsmanship is also extremely superb. But even so, with the help of Senior Qin's spellcasting, they have to sacrifice two lives to kill Kill this monster. If Senior Qin hadn't cast a spell to immobilize Ghost Saber Mantis, all four boys would not be able to hurt it."

Having said that, his expression became dignified again:
"At the beginning, we encountered Ghost Saber Mantis... The danger of this ruin may have exceeded our original expectations."

Qin Wuyue snorted coldly:

"It's too late to regret now. The entrance of this ruins is the entrance, and the exit is the exit. Enter from the entrance, but you can't exit the same way, you have to find the exit. If you don't move on, you will only be trapped here and die of thirst and starvation. !"

Saying that, he glared at Shen Lang again:
"What are you doing in a daze? Continue to explore the way!"

Shen Lang shrugged his shoulders, carried the pair of copper maces, and walked forward.

And Qin Wuyue, Tsing Yi Nu, Miemen Monk and others no longer just focus on the front, but also pay attention to the back, and be on guard, lest any ominous beast suddenly appear from behind.

After walking safely for more than ten feet, Shen Lang stepped down, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the footing. The stone slab under his feet seemed to be a little loose, not as solid as other places.

But since there was no warning from his spiritual sense, he didn't pay much attention to it, and when he continued to move forward, he heard the sound of machine guns clicking and arrows piercing through the air behind him.

Looking back, he saw the passageway behind him, densely packed round holes were suddenly opened on the two walls and the dome, and countless gleaming arrows were continuously ejected from the round holes, hitting Qin Wuyue and the others behind like a torrential rain.

Clusters of spears continued to emerge from the ground, stabbing upwards one after another.

When the powerful arrows were shooting and the ground spear was stabbing, Qin Wuyue's body appeared a pale green whirlwind, spinning around her rapidly, and deflecting all the arrows that were shot at her. shield".

The door-killing monk's skin turned iron black, he only covered his eyes with his palms, and let the spears and arrows pierce him.And no matter the arrow or the ground spear, they could only pierce his tattered cassock even more tattered. When it landed on his iron-black skin, there were only dots of sparks and a crisp clang like iron. Not even a trace of oily skin was pierced.

A "water shield" surrounds the body of the girl in Tsing Yi.The water shield was like an eggshell, wrapping her from head to toe, flowing up and down endlessly.The steel arrows and ground spears pierced her body, only dented the water shield slightly, and then flew away.

The three Taoist monks seem to be able to instantly cast self-defense spells, and they can also protect themselves against such sudden mechanisms.

But they could keep themselves, but they couldn't keep their followers.

The two black-clothed men brought by the girl in Tsing Yi danced their swords into a ball of brilliant silver light, which seemed almost impenetrable.

But such a sharp knife technique can block the powerful arrows flying to the sides including the head, but it can't prevent the ground spear stabbing under the feet.

Under the stabbing of the ground spear, a big man in black collapsed to the ground with bleeding from his lower body.

The other big man in black was a bit lucky, he moved close to the girl in Tsing Yi in time, and used the girl in Tsing Yi's water shield to block the arrows coming from one side, so that he had time to deal with the spear thrust.

Qin Wuyue's two gray-clothed boys also broke off another one, which was strung into candied gourds by the ground spear, and pierced into thorns by the powerful arrows from both sides and from the top of the head.

But these boys in gray clothes are also different from ordinary people.

Not only did he not change his face when he was about to die, he never screamed out of injuries all over his body, and his vitality was also ridiculously strong.

The one who was cut in half obliquely by the ghost knife mantis before, half of his body was able to fight back with a sword.

At this moment, the boy in gray clothes who was strung up by ground spears and shot all over his body by arrows didn't die for a moment, he kept swinging his sword to block the flying arrows for another boy in gray clothes and Qin Wuyue.

It was not until the two escaped from the rain of arrows and spears that the boy in gray took his last breath.
