Immortal Sword Master

Let's take a closer look.. We'll live in the corner of the courtyard. It's fine if we don't go in... Han Yaolu forced a smile and suggested. Master Hong must have been afraid that we would be dependent, so he left voluntarily, just taking care of us in secret...

It must be... Guo Zixuan also nodded with a mournful face.

Ma Jingxuan worked hard to stabilize her mind, without the Red Master to rely on. A wave of fear and uneasiness kept flooding into her heart.

But as the team leader, if she panicked at this time, the whole team would be in chaos.

It should be like this. We can concentrate on solving the task. Since the sect has assigned us this task, it means that we can solve it alone. As long as we are careful, we will be fine.

Senior Sister is right.

Guo Zixuan quickly agreed.

Let's make a fire first, and then pitch the tent.

After a few people entered the Taoist temple, they started to get busy.

*******************

Lin Xin was walking alone in the dark forest. Looking around, he saw the same everywhere. The mountains and forests were continuous, dark and cold.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the only light was the white light left by the clouds in the sky after the sun had completely set.

Lin Xin walked slowly in the forest, stepping on the thick fallen leaves, making a crackling sound. There appeared to be twigs or dried leaves that had been crushed.

Just now he suddenly felt as if someone was rushing past, the sound was so small that Ma Jingxuan and the three of them couldn't hear it, and he just wanted to act alone, so that Ma Jingxuan would not be too dependent on him and not be able to truly face the task independently event. That's why I got up and left in an instant.

Unexpectedly, after coming out, he still didn't see any figure.

Turning around the Taoist temple, Lin Xin found a big tree trunk behind the Taoist temple. There appeared to be traces of rope binding.

There is nothing unusual about the rest.

He simply jumped up lightly, landed on a branch of a big tree, cleaned the branch, sat cross-legged in meditation, and continued to grope for the Nine Injuries of Eternal Sleep.

Shortly after.

The sound of bonfires burning faintly came from the Taoist temple, as well as the subtle sounds of Ma Jingxuan and the three of them talking.

Even with his eyes closed, Lin Xin could detect their movements with his five keen senses.

Time is getting late. The branch where he was sitting was completely dark, without any light.

Except for a few stars in the sky, even the moon was completely covered by thick clouds. The entire forest can only see a little bit of twilight, vaguely.

I don't know how long it took, but there was no more sound coming from the campfire, and Lin Xin slowly opened his eyes.

The tree branch he was sitting on was considered a high place, and he looked into the Taoist temple from here. The top part of the flame of the campfire can be vaguely seen.

At this time, there was no one around the fire, but the fire was burning very vigorously. People seem to have rested in their three tents. Some medicine powder to prevent wild beasts was sprinkled on the side, and there was a circle of silk thread hanging with talisman papers surrounding the tent.

It's fairly well-prepared. Nodding approvingly, Lin Xin was about to get up and go down to check.

But suddenly he felt his skin go numb, and he suddenly looked under the tree.

I saw a vague figure in white under the tree. He was looking up at him with his face up, and those protruding eyes stared straight at him, as if the dark shadow had no hiding effect at all.

In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared instantly. As if it was just an illusion.

Lin Xin remained expressionless, carefully sensing the movement around him. They couldn't feel the slightest living thing approaching.

Something interesting.

He dropped gently from the tree and looked around.

There are no traces of human activities, only a set of footprints left by himself under the woods.

He took out a high-level resentment talisman, but there was no movement on the talisman paper.

No grievances. Not grievances.

After pondering for a while, he quickly looked at the Taoist temple.

This Taoist temple doesn't seem to be as simple as it says on the mission.

Monster monster? There is actually a monster hidden inside, and there are traces of that thing's activities all around, but that person just now...

He recalled the figure just now.

One piece of white, fuzzy, very little hair, and the rest can't see clearly.

It's definitely not a monster...

With a light leap, he plunged into the Taoist temple and landed silently on the moss-covered stone bricks.

Looking around, it seems to be a small garden-like place. A few hoes and sprinklers are put aside, it seems that some people planted flowers here not long ago.

On the right is the dark corridor of the Taoist temple, and on the left is a small row of small houses like woodsheds.

There is also a well in the middle yard, and a wooden barrel is placed crookedly on the side.

Lin Xin walked to the side of the wooden barrel, knelt down and touched the edge of the barrel. It was cold and cold, and it was a little rough to touch. It was the unique hard and tough texture of wood. Most importantly, not wet.

Walking to the mouth of the well and looking in, the water inside was glistening, but there was nothing.

Snapped.

Suddenly, in the darkness of the corridor over there, there was a sound of something falling on the wooden board.

Lin Xin looked up, but saw nothing. A thick layer of dust slowly accumulated on the wooden floor, and with his eyesight, he could clearly see it, not to mention footprints, but not even a single insect print.

Slowly putting his hand on the red flower sword, Lin Xin suddenly thought again, this is the task of the little guy, he can't take the initiative.

After pondering for a while, he let go of the red flower sword and walked directly towards the dark corridor.

Soon, when I walked to the entrance of the corridor, it was dark inside, without any light.

He took out a torch, lit it with a sniff, then took out the prepared torch and lit it.

Suddenly, the yellow fire ignited, illuminating most of the passageway in the corridor.

Looking forward along the light of the fire, at the end of the corridor is a half-open wooden door. The door swayed constantly with the breeze, giving the illusion that someone had just passed through.

Holding the torch, Lin Xin slowly walked into the corridor, and soon reached the door, and pulled it lightly.

?!

The door swayed slightly and couldn't be opened!

Lin Xin was stunned for a moment. He clearly felt that someone was pulling the door hard on the other side, but the force just counteracted him, making the door unable to open at all.

creak creak...

The door kept shaking under two forces, and the person inside seemed to be frantically trying to close the door. Lin Xin wanted to pull away completely.

let go.

The power on the wooden door also disappeared at the same time.

Lin Xin was a little surprised. He looked at the wooden door and didn't intend to go in. After all, this Taoist temple is the task of the little fat girl. If he figured it out, he would not be able to achieve the purpose of letting the little fat girl experience it.

Back outside the Taoist temple again, he found another big tree and went up to rest.

until dawn. The crisp bird chirping became more and more loud, and he slowly woke up.

There were faint movements from the three little guys in the Taoist temple, as if they were planning to get up and explore the entire Taoist temple.

Lin Xin landed gently and followed behind them.

After entering the gate of the Taoist temple, I saw them walking into the hall of the incomplete statue, and then they whispered to each other, and then they split up to investigate the situation.

After people leave. Lin Xin walked into the main hall and looked up at the weird statue that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Four-armed demon god...?

He recognized this statue, it was not a real king, but one of the demon gods of the demon clan.

In other words, this place is not a Taoist temple for human beings at all. It is for the monster race to worship. He carefully checked the incense candles used in the hall, and they were all lavender. Only the monster race would use lavender incense candles Worship idols.

Since the real person is face to face, the little demon will not hide anymore. Suddenly a voice came from behind him.

Lin Xin turned around. Behind him, there was a beautiful woman in a pink petal dress standing at the entrance of the main hall. Holding a red oiled paper umbrella, with long hair hanging down his waist, he looked at himself quietly.

Who are you?

The woman smiled and walked in with an umbrella. Face to face, Lin Xin bowed slightly.

Shoulian, the little girl's womb, has practiced here for more than four hundred years.

Isn't this place something that a mere little demon can create? Lin Xin said indifferently.

The real man knows everything. The woman who claimed to be Gong Shoulian nodded. This place was originally a small Taoist temple dedicated to the demon god empress, but one day an unexpected visitor came. Since that day, this place has been declining day by day, and the little demons in the temple are dying and scattered. Until now.

As for the abnormal state here, it was originally because of this phenomenon that the Taoist temple was built here. Gong Shoulian explained in a low voice.

What's abnormal?

Gong Shoulian hesitated.

Since the real person asked, the little girl will take you to take a look and find out. Anyway, most of the experts nearby know about it, but no one is willing to come to this muddy water.

Oh? Lin Xinyi wondered, since he knew all about it, he still didn't want to come, it seemed that it was a bit tricky.

Take me to see first.

The woman nodded quickly.

The real person please come with me.

She took Lin Xin out of the Taoist temple, walked hundreds of meters along the path on the mountain, and soon saw a strange tree that was extremely thick but extremely short.

This strange tree grew by a silver-white stream, with many strange tumors all over its body, and the bark was covered with rough grains and protrusions. It seemed to be very old.

Grandpa Tree, I brought a real person over to take a look. Gong Shoulian shouted at the strange tree softly.

puff!

A puff of thick smoke exploded from the ground, and the white smoke quickly dissipated, revealing an old man with a white beard leaning on a cane.

The old man had a big bump on his forehead. He looked childlike and had a very long life. I don't know how many years he lived.

I've met fellow Taoist. The old man bowed slightly to Lin Xin.

Lin Xin hurriedly returned the gift.

Fellow Taoist is the mountain god who lives in this mountain?

There are elves in the mountains, and the land is a prison. After years of management, there are not a few who eventually become mountain gods.

Some of the mountain gods are Yin spirits, some are monsters, and they all accumulate the aura of heaven and earth in the righteous way, and they can achieve success only by never killing. So most of them are righteous people.

Exactly. The old man nodded, Old man Murong Ci. It has been three hundred years since he became a mountain god. It was originally an old tree in this mountain.

Under the safflower, I will protect the younger generation. Lin Xin also introduced himself.

The thing is like this, there is a monster here, named Sahan, who makes troubles here all the year round and disturbs the living beings. Murong Ci sighed, To tell you the truth, it's not long before the old man became a mountain god, and his Taoism may not be as strong as a fellow Taoist. Encountering this matter, Angelica naturally took action to solve it, but she didn't think that there was a big monster behind Sahan, who lived in the snake cave in Wuchen Mountain. Then...
