Desperate Night

"Yes, I don't know what the black shadow is, but it did save me at least four times. And the rule of that spiritual disaster seems to be that you can leave freely after enduring a specified number of executions. That's why I was able to get out of it." Zhengying said quickly.

"So, I will immediately send a request for help to the Daomai. Everyone should reduce their manpower and fully defend the Taoist temple during this period. Don't worry about other places for the time being. If there are golden and jade pilgrims asking for help, they can be allowed to bring their families to take refuge." Yuhen said quickly.

"Okay. I'll notify them right away." Yumo nodded.

"What about Zhengrou?" Zhengming asked in a deep voice.

"Call him and inform him of the situation here, and warn him not to go out. Avoid this period of time."

"The phone can't get through! The nearby signal base station is out of order and is still under maintenance." The Taoist boy beside him hurriedly said.

"I'll go there." Yumo's Taoist boy Xunyang took the initiative to say that she had a good relationship with Yu Hong and was considered close.

"Okay." Yuhen nodded.

Xunyang hurriedly trotted out of the quiet room, crossed the courtyard, and ran towards the gate.

At this time, the entrance of the Taoist temple was crowded with pilgrims waiting in line to worship the gods.

As soon as they saw her, many pilgrims hurriedly greeted her anxiously.

"Master Xun Yang, can you let us in first? My family has an emergency and it's really too late!"

"My father fainted from fear and urgently needs a talisman to save him!"

"Please, let my daughter go in quickly, she really can't hold on any longer"

Xun Yang couldn't help but slow down her pace as she pleaded with them.

But she knew she couldn't take the responsibility and didn't dare to agree to any of them. She could only lower her head and quickly get on the car to other courtyards under the protection of the two Taoists.

However, the car had only driven less than two hundred meters.

There was a sudden blur in front of her, and Xun Yang looked at the front in astonishment.

Outside the car window, the scenery suddenly blurred, and she and the driver, along with the car, were actually back on the street near the Taoist temple.

"Did you drive the wrong way?!" Xun Yang asked anxiously.

"Impossible, I drove in one direction!" The driver's forehead was sweating, and he pulled the amulet hanging in the car.

"Drive again!" Xun Yang shouted.

The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator, changed direction, and drove out.

Not long after, the two of them were blurred and appeared on the street near the Taoist temple again.

This time, both of them were pale and saw the whole process with their own eyes.

"We can't get out!?" Xun Yang asked tremblingly.

"Try again!" The driver gritted his teeth.

The third time.

The two drove away from the Taoist temple again.

And just as they tried again, in the crowded queue of Qingchen Temple, I don't know when, a white-haired old man in a gray long coat and a kind face appeared.

She was carrying a knitted bag, smiling, and walked towards the Taoist temple with a sense of ease that was completely different from the anxiety of the people around her.

Suddenly, the old man paused, slightly sideways, and looked at a small corner shadow on the right side of the Taoist temple's doorpost.

There were faint black smoke, flowing and circling, condensing into the outline of a huge lizard's head. It was Agris who returned from the manor together.

It was just injured, and now it has almost recovered and continues to execute Yu Hong's orders.

Tsk.

A golden arc suddenly flashed around the lizard's head.

The old man raised his hand and grabbed the lizard from a distance.

Buzz! !

A terrifying mental power that was so huge that it surpassed the level of Guanzhu descended instantly and froze the small space around the lizard.

The mental power quickly penetrated the lizard's brain and began to try to forcibly destroy its life consciousness.

Agris's consciousness was quickly annihilated.

This mental power still felt insufficient, and continued to follow this consciousness and extend deep into it, trying to trace the ultimate source of control.

But soon a small arc flashed on the back of her old hand.

At the same time, there seemed to be a hazy chanting around.

"Agris!"

"The dragon of the law, the blood of the immortals!!"

"You are the great immortal! Eternal and immortal!"

"The guardian of the immortal wall, the warden Agris!"

Accompanied by the dense chanting, golden arcs began to spread from the back of the old man's hand and extended towards her body.

Buzz! !

A powerful gaze from a far distance looked down from an unknown height.

At the same time, the old man's dark eyes were also like an endless deep pool, gushing out a large amount of cold and twisted weird mental power, forcibly resisting that powerful gaze.

In the courtyard, in the quiet room.

"Agris, actually lost contact. Dragon lizards, four less." Yu Hong suddenly opened his eyes and frowned. Feeling the subordinates returning, he was a little surprised.

The current strength of the dragon lizard, after time's growth, is almost at the level of a top enhanced human. They are invulnerable to swords and guns, and ordinary guns cannot penetrate their skin. Except for their slightly slower speed, their other qualities have basically reached the upper limit of enhanced humans.

In addition to the advantage in numbers, it is extremely rare to lose four at once.

More importantly, how could Agris lose contact?

As his number one subordinate who has always worked hard and made great contributions, Yu Hong still attaches great importance to him even if a high-level horror shadow replaces his function.

This is not only because he is a nostalgic person, but also because Agris's strength was at least level nine at the beginning. Now, with the blessing of Tianhe, he is constantly recovering and condensing, and may be able to fight against the war-level black disaster.

The war level and the master level are the two extremes of physical attack and spiritual attack respectively.

Both have the powerful killing power to instantly destroy the opponent.

'So, if Agris encounters a master-level strongman, it depends on who starts first and who is hit first. '

Yu Hong thought in his heart.

He tried to call it back, but there was no response. Agris seemed to be stuck and frozen, and there was no movement at all.

Without a response and unable to return, there is no way to restore Agris again.

Because even if it is restored, it requires the remnants of Agris's own body consciousness.

The other dragon lizards responded and began to rush back.

"And the gatekeeper of the Taoist temple didn't come today."

Yu Hong got up and walked to the door, pushed open the movable wooden board under the door, and took in a metal silver lunch box from the ground outside the door.

He opened the lunch box and found freshly prepared rice and vegetables inside.

Braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, scrambled eggs with cucumbers, two pounds of sweet potato rice, and a cup of water were his meals.

"Xiao An." Yu Hong took out a spoon and started eating while talking.

"What's wrong?" A young girl's voice came from outside the door.

Her name was An Susu, and she was the daughter of a nearby restaurant owner who specially sent him food and drinks. She was the one who sent Yu Hong food and drinks on weekdays.

"What's going on at the Taoist temple recently?" Yu Hong asked. "Why didn't the gatekeeper come today? Do you know what's going on?"

Usually, an old Taoist priest with the surname Yu would come to watch over the temple every day, but no one came yesterday and today.

The girl was sitting on a bench outside the door and was a little surprised when she heard it. "I didn't see anyone coming yesterday, I don't know."

"By the way, do you know why there is no signal on your phone these days?" Yu Hong asked again.

"I know this. It is said that there is a problem with the nearby signal base station, and the maintenance personnel are late to come, so it has been delayed." An Susu answered quickly.

Yu Hong frowned and began to contact the dragon lizards that arrived at a close distance, trying to share vision.

But the strong mental interference made it impossible for him to open the dragon lizard sharing.

This pure mental interference has a great impact on his Tianhe summons. Even before and Agris, they could only vaguely sense the specific location.

Yu Hong felt the Taoist breath between his temples at this time. That is, the special mental power of practicing Guanwu Gong.

The so-called Taoist breath is actually more like a special metamorphic alienated mental power.

At this time, there is only a little bit of Taoist breath left to completely sharpen. After the mental power is sharpened, it can completely step into the level of Guanzhu. By then, even in this world, in terms of pure spirit, he will be a little master.

No need to cheat by physical strength every time he can't beat.

Yu Hong estimated the time he still needs.

It is estimated that it will take two days to sharpen the mental power. The fusion of the Five Spirit Springs will take at least four days.

After finishing his meal quickly, he glanced at the booklet on the table.

This is the hypnotic range spell given by Qing Huang, which is being strengthened by the black seal, and the remaining countdown time is more than four days.

'Should I wait four days before coming out of retreat, or should I go to the Taoist temple now? ' Yu Hong hesitated.

In the air beside him, five colored mental powers were still flying around, rushing into his body from time to time to leave a little mental power fusion.

The fusion of the Five Spirit Springs must not disturb the five mental powers. Once disturbed, the process will be disrupted, and the five mental powers will conflict with each other, resulting in disorder, and ten years of accumulation will be completely wasted.

"Forget it, let the dragon lizard go to the Taoist temple to see the situation. If the dragon lizard disappears due to problems, come out of retreat immediately. If the dragon lizard is fine, it should be fine, and I will wait four days before going out."

Although Yu Zhong said before that he must complete the sharpening before coming out of retreat, they will notify him if there is anything.

But the sudden loss of contact with Agris made Yu Hong feel a little worried.

And it is said that when the mental power is strong to a certain extent, it will also produce special warnings for people and things related to itself.

After confirming the plan, Yu Hong ordered Long Xi to go to Qingchen Temple.

Now he can't even use the Horror Shadow, and can only rely on the summons stored in the Tianhe River, which greatly limits his strength.

Because both the Horror Shadow and the inherited Taoist artifacts are condensed by mental power.

Only the summons in the Tianhe River were captured by him from the outside world earlier.

Therefore, except for the Tianhe summons and physical strength, he can't move anything else.

'No, no. I still have a force that can be mobilized'

Suddenly Yu Hong thought of something, and his eyes became deep.

He forgot that during this period of time. The intensity of the spiritual light is getting stronger and stronger, which means that there are more and more sorcerers practicing spiritual light.

Although this power is scattered, there are also many masters among them, such as Qinghuang.

Qinghuang, who has been supplemented by the spiritual light, is definitely much stronger than before.

If used properly, it will be no worse than Agris and the dragon lizards.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Hong knocked on the door again.

"An Su, are you still there?"

"Yes, you say." An Su Su hurriedly said. She remembered that her father said that the big shots of Taizhou were resting here, so she should treat them well and not neglect them.

"Can you help me deliver a letter? I'm going to deliver a small souvenir nearby." Yu Hong said softly.

To contact the Mutual Aid Alliance, he needs to contact Cheng Shu and the other three people, and he and the three people have agreed on a secret code and a fixed contact point. It is near the Taoist temple.

"It's a small matter, you tell me."
