Chapter 239

As the abbot, Monk Yixin lives in a strange place.He does not live in the exquisitely furnished courtyard in the temple, but in an independent stone house under the Baoyan Pagoda, the tallest building in the temple.This place is located in the backyard, almost the most remote place in the temple. Whenever night falls, the sound of wind chimes on the pagoda is quite quiet.

In this corner, Man Si's despair has not yet been conveyed, even if there is, the monk doesn't care.He just sat on the cloud bed and murmured scriptures until there was an expected change in the wind outside the house.

The sound of sutra chanting slowly stopped, and the monk's eyes stayed in the shadow behind the door. After an unknown amount of time, Fang said softly, "Master Zhili came too eagerly."

In the shadow, a group of soft things seemed to be stretching and changing, but after all, it didn't protrude out of the shadow.But this thing can speak, its voice is cloudy, and there is a kind of clucking noise, like the sound of stones constantly colliding:

"I came in a hurry and still look like this. If it was later, would you monk sell us all to be reconciled?"

"Master Zhili is serious. He only came out during the day, and he came here at night. It is not good for me to conceal my identity." Monk Yi Xin replied slowly, seemingly complaining, but there was no fluctuation in his tone .

That "Lord Zhili" sneered: "What good is it to me if you cover up your identity? No, it should be said this way: what good is it to me and to the king that you are here?"

After a short pause, Zhili's voice was a little low: "People like you are the most untrustworthy. Back then you and that guy wearing a fake moon demon skin had an audience with the king, and they used many sweet words to deceive the king's trust, saying that they would open up two Boundary corridor, changing the environment of Tianrift Valley, and becoming a place suitable for our family to live in. But what is the result?

"The 80 demon army sent to you by the branch was defeated in the sky rift valley in just a few days. Even Lord Di Luo died, and even the black magic altar opened by the king was also injured. Don't even think about repairing it in [-] years! At this time, where are the benefits you promised?"

The monk's square face was still expressionless, and he just said indifferently: "Master Zhili has misunderstood. Frankly speaking, the poor monk had an audience with His Majesty the Dafan Demon King, and came up with this plan in exchange for his own life, but now the plan has failed. It is still in the hands of the king, and if it is even more distant, what good is it for the poor monk?

"Besides, there are a few things that I don't know. Before Master Di Luo broke through the boundary, he once said that the ghost beast was just easy to capture. Why did he die tragically under his hands in the end? The [-] demon army, Wang Shangyun's elite, but why did I open the tunnel here?" But the ones who came out were of mixed races and no discipline at all? Remember that the king entrusted this matter to you, Lord Di Luo and Lord Zhili, so the poor monk would like to ask about the result!"

There was silence in the shadows for a long time, but the tone softened a bit: "The situation is urgent, and the world is still fighting, so the deployment is unavoidable. As for Lord Di Luo, who would have thought that the ghosts and beasts would be able to attract Rakshasa at the end of their battle... Cough, That one looks down, success is on the verge of failure, and if one mistake is made, the whole game is lost, it is really annoying!"

Zhili backed down first, and the monk stopped being aggressive, and just said: "The plan is not successful for the time being, it is really annoying, but for tens of thousands of years, the king has been among the top kings in the blood prison and ghost mansion. Compared with his old man, there are very few. He has a far-sighted vision and makes decisions on his own. Lord Zhili should not be too anxious... Today, my lord was personally involved in danger and was besieged. Fortunately, he was able to escape, and now he is injured Vitality needs to be nurtured carefully."

"Hey, although I'm not used to the environment in this world, and my cultivation base has suffered a lot, but that woman's cultivation base and magic weapon have unique features. If you lose, you lose, and you don't have to excuse me."

The monk smiled slightly, and said again: "Tomorrow there will be a big change in the temple. I can't protect myself, and I may not be able to protect the adults well. Now I only have to prepare in advance - the Baoyan Pagoda next to it, I have already arranged it, you and I will be together. How about going?"

Zhili let out a hey, which was his agreement.

At that moment, Monk Yi Xin stood up, opened the door and went out.The demon in the shadows didn't need him to worry about, and shifted position early without making a sound.At this time, in the eyes of outsiders, it was just that the monk climbed the pagoda to relax after sitting for a long time, and he couldn't think of going anywhere else.

Entering the pagoda, there is an ever-burning lamp inside, reflecting the luxurious and solemn Buddha statue inside.The monk slowly climbed up the stairs, and after reaching the second floor, he suddenly said, "Master Zhili, do you know who is making the move today?"

"That woman?"

In the shadows, the demon's words were filled with chills: "Who is she?"

"This woman's name is He Qing. She is a talented person from the Lichen Sect who has only jumped out in the past few decades. Her actions are not high-profile, and my lord has never heard of her. However, my lord may be familiar with her Taoist companion. Decades ago, the sky rift valley The two worlds are at war, and with the cultivation base of Repaying Dan, he wields a passing water sword and beheads Hengshan, who was once as famous as Lord Di Luo..."

"Oh? I have some impressions of this. From then on, Di Luo fled to the Blood Prison Ghost Mansion to seek refuge with the king. What's the name of that man, Yu... Yu Zhou?"

As early as hundreds of years ago, Zhili was under the throne of Dafan Yaowang, a middle-level person with considerable status. It is very rare to be able to remember the name of a relatively ordinary human monk.What he paid more attention to was the woman who brought him back from death: "He Qing, He Qing..."

He recited it back and forth dozens of times, and he confirmed that he had written down the name, which was very difficult for him to pronounce.

At this time, Monk Yi Xin had reached the fourth floor and stopped.Pointing to a floor in front of the Buddhist altar on this floor, he said: "There is a hidden compartment here. The entrance is here, but after entering, it is moved to the tower wall and sealed. Among them, it is not very difficult to hide it from others' eyes and ears."

It has to be said that the monk's preparation was very good, and the design of this mechanism was extremely effective, but Zhili ignored it, but said coldly: "There is someone upstairs, who is it?"

Monk Yi Xin raised his eyes, shook his head and said, "It's my impotent apprentice."

"He knows about you?"

"I know a little... But don't worry, after tonight, it will be fine."

The monk explained to Zhili: "This person is still my big disciple, but he is treacherous and rebellious, and he is not of one mind with me. I was able to control him a few years ago, but recently, he and Lichen sect Yu Ci'er, who walked very close, his mind was unstable. When the temple was robbed, he thought about climbing new branches, but I caught him by tricks, and now he is locked on the fifth floor. He must find a way to disappear. .”

"so……"

Zhili thought for a while in the shadows, and suddenly he laughed: "You said he was close to the monks from the sect of dust? I have a method here, which can be done once and for all, and can help you escape. I don't know if you are willing to .

"Oh, please tell me, my lord."

Zhili laughed, "No rush, let's go up to the fifth floor."

He spoke in silence.Monk Yi Xin frowned, and went up another level without haste.When they got to the last step, they saw a monk in gray robe sitting cross-legged on the ground with his head bowed, making no sound.Looking closely, it turned out that he was restrained and fell into a coma.

"This is your apprentice?"

"It's the villain who proves strict."

"It's no wonder that you have allowed a disobedient junior to stay with him until now. Tsk, he's a good person. His cultivation is just a layer of paper away from your cultivator's level of alchemy!"

Zhili gasped in amazement: "It's a pity that this apprentice was killed. Why don't you give it to me?"

"Oh?"

"It's rare to see such a qualified flesh fetus. Today I was severely injured by He Qing, leaving only half of my body here. The power of self-preservation is almost non-existent, and there is no time to recover by myself. If you are willing, I will kill you Give me the physical body of your apprentice, and when I attach myself to it, I will take away my soul, and then I will walk in the world as your apprentice, and even the restriction of the vitality of the world in this world can be reduced by half, wouldn't it be wonderful!"

Monk Yi Xin frowned slightly: "If that's the case, it's bound to have to deal with the Li Chen sect, it's a risk..."

However, Zhi Li felt that this matter was feasible: "The aura of the avatar is weak, and after the body is seized, it is even more covered by the vitality of the fleshy body. How can you find out? Aren't you going to pass through a pass tomorrow? If your apprentice really has something to do with Li Chenzong, I will With his identity, he can always help you in the dark!"

As he said that, there was something sticking out from the edge of the shadow, heading towards the comatose monk Cheng Yan.

Zhi Li already looked down on Monk Yi Xin, and it was an exception to say so much, so how could he really care about Yi Xin's thoughts?As he said that he was about to strike, Monk Yi Xin remained silent, as if he had acquiesced.

That's right... Zhili sneered and poked out more of his stump.He originally belonged to the "Latuo" clan, which means "change" in the demon language. In the blood prison ghost mansion, his clan is also very special.Although its body is full of flesh and bones, it can be softened like mud when necessary, and can be transformed into almost any desired shape.During the battle, unless one's spirit suffers a devastating 'injury', or is shattered, one can retain a chance of survival.He relied on this talent to escape from the prison of Fatian Absolute.

Now, he wants to push the transformation to the extreme and penetrate into the body of the tall and thin monk in front of him.

Seeing the contact in front, Zhi Li suddenly felt that something was wrong, and was about to adjust, when the monk Yi Xin behind him gave a soft chant: "Thank you, Master Zhi Li!"

As the voice fell, the golden light rose and shone on Zhili's body, which was completely exposed. In the air, Zhili didn't even hum, and there was no trace of him.
