Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou leaped into the deep pit. After descending more than ten meters, the space opened up, revealing a huge cave. The cave was so large that he descended another thirty meters before reaching the bottom.

To his surprise, countless will-o'-the-wisps rose within the cave, creating a green glow everywhere.

At that moment, Ye ZhiQiu and the two female ghosts descended, followed by the Golden Toad Ancestor, and finally Guangzhi.

The Golden Toad Ancestor took out a bead and infused it with spiritual power, instantly illuminating an area of more than ten zhang. Only then did everyone see that the ground was covered with a layer of white bones, all of which were human bones based on their shape.

Li Ergou frowned, his heart inexplicably tightening, thinking that this was not a friendly place.

The two female ghosts were also slightly surprised and said, "What's going on here? How could it be like this?"

Ye ZhiQiu also said, "Heavens, this is beneath a temple. Could it be that the Golden Light Monk was eating people?"

Guangzhi didn't speak, but his eyes flashed with a strange light.

The Golden Toad Ancestor said, "Hehe, I see. It is said that the Golden Light Monk once converted many believers, but unexpectedly, all of these people died. It seems that this Golden Light Monk is not a good bird after all."

While speaking, Li Ergou saw a figure in the darkness ahead. He immediately walked over and saw a white bone altar. The entire altar was more than ten feet wide and one meter high, built entirely from human skulls.

Seeing this scene, he was horrified, wondering how many heads it would take to build such a large altar. Most terrifyingly, there was a person sitting cross-legged on the altar.

This person was naked from the waist up, bald, and his whole body was light golden, resembling a golden Buddha.

Everyone immediately surrounded him, looking at the body. The Golden Toad Ancestor carefully examined it and exclaimed, "Could this be the Dharma body of the Golden Light Monk? It was said that this person mysteriously disappeared back then, but he was actually here."

At this moment, his eyes flashed with greed, and he was extremely excited.

Subsequently, he didn't care about much and walked forward in everyone's surprised gazes, stroking the body.

While touching it, he muttered, "Strange, where did it go?"

Li Ergou felt disgusted, thinking that this old monster was too indiscriminate.

Guangzhi remained motionless, a golden light flashing in his eyes. It was unknown what he saw or what he was thinking.

Just as the Golden Toad Ancestor was searching, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes. The eyes were pitch black, like a bottomless abyss.

Before the Golden Toad Ancestor could react, the body moved. It extended a hand and struck towards the Golden Toad Ancestor's chest.

The Golden Toad Ancestor was shocked, and a golden light condensed in front of him, turning into a golden shield to block the attack.

However, due to the hasty timing, the shield had not yet fully solidified when it was struck by the palm. This palm was extremely fierce, and the terrifying force shattered the shield instantly, then struck the Golden Toad Ancestor's body.

The Golden Toad Ancestor screamed and was instantly sent flying.

The Golden Toad Ancestor rolled several times on the ground before standing up, looking extremely disheveled.

He burst into curses, "Golden Light Monk, I knew you didn't die back then! Damn you, quickly hand over the Golden Buddha, or today you will die without a burial place!"

Unexpectedly, the corpse stood up directly, making a hissing sound, and without saying a word, attacked the Golden Toad Ancestor.

The Golden Toad Ancestor immediately said anxiously, "What are you waiting for? This guy should have the Golden Buddha on him. Everyone, join forces and kill him, and then we can divide the Golden Buddha equally. That is the supreme treasure of Buddhism!"

Li Ergou looked at Guangzhi and then at Ye ZhiQiu, both of whom were hesitating slightly. In fact, based on Li Ergou's experience over the past few years, this matter was full of strangeness.

He originally wanted to continue watching, but the Golden Toad Ancestor said in a panic again, "Why haven't you attacked yet? This guy has become a Golden Buddha zombie. He will kill everyone here. If you don't attack, you will all die!"

Li Ergou felt that what this guy said was right. In any case, it was important to eliminate this guy in front of him first.

Jing'er and Liu Sanniang had already rushed up to help the Golden Toad Ancestor defend against the enemy.

Seeing this, Ye ZhiQiu drew a soft sword from his book basket and rushed up as well. However, this guy was only at the Qi Refining stage, and probably had never had any real combat experience. It was all just fancy moves, just blindly waving it around.

Guangzhi also sighed at this moment, "Forget it, let's deal with this guy first."

With a thought, he saw the string of Buddhist beads on his neck floating up. The beads lit up one after another, and countless golden runes floated on them. He pinched his fingers, and the beads smashed towards the Golden Light Monk.

The Buddhist beads were fierce, and scattered in mid-air, turning into eighteen independent small entities, constantly striking the Golden Light Monk's body, causing the Golden Light Monk's movements to slow down. He had to deal with the others while also dealing with the sneak attacks of the Buddhist beads, making him very busy.

Li Ergou directly sacrificed the Fish Scale Sword and slashed at the Golden Light Monk. The Fish Scale Sword was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it slashed on the Golden Light Monk's body. What Li Ergou did not expect was that such a sharp Fish Scale Sword could not damage this body.

It was as if it had been chopped on gold and iron, making a clanging sound.

"Golden body, indestructible body." These words came to Li Ergou's mind.

The battle was fierce, but unexpectedly, the Golden Toad Ancestor suddenly turned around and struck towards Guangzhi.

This change was too fast, so fast that people couldn't react. The Golden Toad Ancestor was extremely fierce, his hand shining with golden light, and he struck Guangzhi's body with one palm.

Boom!

To everyone's surprise, Guangzhi did not move at all after being hit by this palm, as if his feet were rooted to the ground. The scene of Guangzhi vomiting blood that the Golden Toad Ancestor had imagined did not appear.

Only a look of disdain flashed in Guangzhi's eyes. The Golden Toad Ancestor immediately felt bad and retreated, but it was too late.

Guangzhi had already punched out suddenly, hitting the Golden Toad Ancestor's chest, and then the Golden Toad Ancestor screamed and was sent flying.

Ye ZhiQiu and Li Ergou were both dumbfounded, but before they could think too much, the Golden Light Monk had already pounced on them.

At this moment, Guangzhi suddenly tore off his clothes. Only then did Li Ergou understand why Guangzhi was not injured and was so fierce.
