The Bloody Taoist

Time passed quickly, and it was the morning of three days later.

On this day, the sun had just risen, and the cold wind was still raging on the earth, as if to freeze the whole world.

Zuo Yinyang arranged the affairs of the inn early, and then left the inn with He Qingni. They faced the cold wind and embarked on an unknown journey.

At this time, Xiao Suli and Qifeng were standing at the street corner, silently watching their master go farther and farther.

The cold wind whistled past, ruffling Xiao Suli and Qifeng's hair. They wrapped their clothes tightly, trying to resist the invasion of the cold.

Their faces were full of worry and reluctance, and their hearts were full of worry about their master. Although they knew that this adventure was of great significance to their master, they still couldn't hide their inner uneasiness.

In the cold winter, there were few pedestrians in the city, and the streets seemed particularly deserted.

The two walked briskly, quickly crossed the streets, and soon came to the west gate.

From a distance, there were two figures quietly waiting for their arrival at the gate of the city.

One of them was wearing a white robe, and it was none other than Pei Xingmu, the Shangqing sword cultivator.

The other was a middle-aged man who was unfamiliar.

His face was as pale as paper, as if he was very weak from illness.

When they approached, Zuo Yinyang could even smell the faint smell of medicine emanating from this man.

After a round of greetings, the two sides learned through conversation that this person was the only remaining green-clothed patrolman with free time in Xianshan County besides Zuo Yinyang and his men, Zhang the Paper Man.

Speaking of which, it was all because of the evil witch that Zhang the Paper Man came to Xianshan County a few months ago to participate in the search of the Black Cloud Mountain.

When he and his companions were catching the evil witch, they unfortunately encountered a magic cultivator in the Gang Realm. After a fight, he was the only one who survived.

Now he is alone and seriously injured, so he has been staying in the county city to recuperate. Now that his injuries have not healed yet, he has been sent down by the Imperial Observatory to carry out a mandatory mission.

In order to treat his injuries, he had already used up all his merit points, so he could not use them to offset the mission. He could only accept the assignment.

Pei Xingmou saw that everyone was there, so he said, "The map has been handed over to you. I will go ahead to see the situation. You should hurry up and catch up."

After that, without waiting for everyone to react, he turned around and walked through the city gate. Then a golden light flashed, and he disappeared.

He Qingni was a little surprised and said, "Why didn't Master Jingruo go with us? What if there is danger on the road?"

Zuo Yinyang's thoughts turned. He probably knew why Pei Xingmou left alone. He probably wanted to leave a chance for the fish that were lurking around!

He smiled and said, "How could Master Jingruo be in danger? Our cultivation is not high. If we go together, we will only hold him back!"

He Qingni replied with concern: "Master Jingruo is in the Lian Gang realm, so he is fine. I mean we are in danger.

I am just a novice who has just joined the Imperial Observatory, and Fellow Daoist Zhang has not yet fully recovered from his injuries. You are a newcomer in the Qi Sense realm. What if there is an accident on the road? "

Paper Man Zhang was very calm at this time. He said, "Fellow Daoist Qinghe, don't worry too much. The Black Cloud Mountain is much safer now than before. Besides, the signboard of this inspector is not something that ordinary robbers and monsters dare to provoke. We only need to pay attention to special ghosts and anomalies!

Let's hurry up!"

This is the first time Zuo Yinyang has left the county city. The last time he left the city, he basically sat in the paper sedan chair the whole time and had no contact with the outside world.

This time when he passed through the city gate, he could clearly feel a protective array power filling the city wall.

This power is powerful and mysterious, like an indestructible barrier, protecting the safety of the city.

The green jade card on his waist also exudes a faint spiritual energy, allowing him to easily pass through the formation without any constraints.

Before he had time to feel it, he had already arrived outside the city. At this time, he, who had already embarked on the path of cultivation, clearly felt that the spiritual energy outside the city became more active and more abundant.

Outside the county city, snowflakes began to float in the sky, and the three of them walked quickly in the wind and snow.

When they walked a distance, a pony cut out of paper slipped out of the paper man's sleeve. He blew a breath of gray air at the paper horse, and a lifelike, snow-white horse appeared on the snow.

He jumped up lightly and sat steadily on the horse's back. The white horse neighed and carried him away, like a white lightning across the snow.

At the same time, the green energy on He Qingni's body kept flowing, and in the blink of an eye, he revealed the appearance of a half-human, half-demon.

With a little effort, he could jump seven or eight meters away, and his speed was comparable to that of the paper man Zhang riding a white horse.

Zuo Yinyang, who was standing by, began to mobilize the evil spirit in his body, causing it to flow continuously to his legs.

His legs quickly became thicker, with muscles bulging high and protruding blood vessels tightly attached to them, full of a strong sense of power.

Then, he used the special footwork in the "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Sutra" to quickly catch up with the two people in front.

Every step he took would leave a deep footprint under his feet, as if he had carved his own mark on the snow.

Zuo Yinyang came to the side of the paper man Zhang, and he looked at the white horse in front of him and asked: "Senior Zhang, your paper horse transformation method is really magical. Do you know a senior named Huang who also knows the paper man technique!"

"Fellow Daoist Chixuan, you're welcome. You and I are both patrolling in Qingyi, so we just need to match up with the fellow daoists." The paper man Zhang Duan sat on his horse and said with a weak smile: "What you are talking about is impermanence, Senior Huang!"

Zuo Yinyang said: "It's his old man. Senior Huang sent me to Yunwu Sect to study. I have seen his origami skills, which are somewhat similar to Daoist Zhang's paper skills. They are both very powerful!"

The paper man Zhang shook his head and said: "Senior Huang is the veteran of Huang's origami lineage, so I naturally know him, but I, Zhang, belong to the paper-cutting lineage. Although I also use paper-playing magic, it is slightly different.

I'm far behind Senior Huang! "

Slowly, the official road went deeper into the mountains and began to become rugged.

The three of them had been traveling for a whole day. They saw that the sky was getting dark and the wind and snow were getting heavier and heavier. Not far away, a dilapidated mountain temple was sitting on the side of the road.

"There is a ruined temple ahead. Let's go there to take shelter from the wind and snow." The paper man Zhang Xiao said.

After hearing the paper man Zhang's suggestion, several people quickly rushed to the mountain temple.

The temple in front of me has a dilapidated appearance, obviously in disrepair for a long time. The two guardian statues at the door are also covered by thick snow, and only their outlines can be vaguely discerned.

Zuo Yinyang slowed down and came to the temple first.

However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the temple, he felt a gloomy breath blowing against his face, and then a faint stench penetrated his nose.

He suddenly became alert, his muscles tightened, and he mobilized the earth-blood evil energy in his body to cover his arms, and slowly pushed open the broken temple door.

However, before he could step in, the two statues at the door opened their eyes at the same time, flashing red light.

Zuo Yinyang reacted quickly. He caught a glimpse of the statue moving from the corner of his eye and immediately lowered his body and backed away suddenly.

Almost at the same time, the two statues shook off the snow and quickly rushed towards him.

What kind of guardian statue is this? They are clearly two zombies with green faces and fangs!

The paper figures Zhang and He Qingni behind Zuo Yinyang also noticed the abnormality and each cast their spells. A cyan light and a gray light shot out from the left and right sides respectively, heading straight towards the two zombies.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two zombies were hit by the powerful spell and flew backwards, falling heavily against the wall of the temple.

"Who?"

The paper man looked around warily, trying to find the truth behind this strange scene.

There was silence in the temple, with only the wind and snow dancing wildly outside the door, as if playing a prelude to the upcoming battle.
