On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

The little Taoist priest's eyebrows were shrewd, and his eyes were moving around. He started looking at Magistrate Cao, and then glanced at Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe behind him.

"It turns out to be Magistrate Cao, please come in!"

The little Taoist priest turned sideways and did not ask about the identities of Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe. It was obvious that he knew that they were coming with Magistrate Cao.

The door was only half open. Magistrate Cao looked back at Huo Changhe: "Sir, please come first."

Huo Changhe entered first, Magistrate Cao followed, and Yan Ruyu walked last.

The main hall of the Taoist temple is no different from ordinary Taoist temples. Yan Ruyu glanced at it and saw that there was light dust on the statue. There was an incense burner on the incense table. The incense ashes were very full and the incense was not inserted very well. The burned parts fell off and splashed on the incense burner. Some other things.

It can be seen that they worship the idols carelessly.

Magistrate Cao did not lead Huo Changhe to burn incense. Just as he was about to speak, there were footsteps on the side of the hall and someone came out of there.

He was wearing a Taoist robe, his hair was tied up with a white jade hairpin, and he held a fly whisk in his hand. He was tall and slender, and the wind was blowing in the sleeves of his large coat, which gave him a somewhat fairy-like air.

However, he wore a mask on his face, with a painting of a fairy with lowered eyes, seemingly overlooking all living beings in the world.

Yan Ruyu remained calm and guessed that this Taoist priest must be Taoist Master Lingshi.

Sure enough, when Magistrate Cao saw him, he rushed to greet him.

"Taoist Priest, this is the distinguished guest I told you about before."

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord," the Taoist Master flicked his fly whisk, "all living beings are suffering, and people in the world have many things they want. Some of them can achieve them, and some of them cannot. It all depends on personal fate."

Huo Changhe nodded: "I heard that the Taoist priest has profound teachings and can know the secrets of heaven. I don't ask for anything else. I just want to know the whereabouts of my wife."

The Taoist priest's face was hidden under the mask, and he didn't know what his expression was.

Huo Changhe looked at him calmly, and Yan Ruyu felt that the man's eyes from under the mask were not very kind.

I don’t know what kind of face is under this mask, but I am secretly amused when I think of how she used this trick to turn Jinshan into a shaman.

After a long while, the Taoist Master said slowly: "In that case, please follow me to the stone statue array."

Magistrate Cao was overjoyed and said to Huo Changhe in a low voice: "Sir, the Taoist priest really likes you. Ordinary people can't even come in, so they can only pray outside, let alone enter the stone statue formation."

Huo Changhe smiled slightly: "I would also like to thank County Magistrate Cao. Without your recommendation, I wouldn't be able to get in."

"Where, where? I hope to find Madam as soon as possible."

The Taoist priest turned around and walked back. Magistrate Cao ordered Huo Changhe to follow, followed by Yan Ruyu.

He didn't stop after arriving at the main hall. He passed through the Moon Gate and arrived at the back gate of the Taoist Temple. When he opened the small corner door, there seemed to be another world outside.

There is also a wall around here to prevent anyone from coming around from behind. It seems that the wall was built later to encircle the land outside the back door.

There was nothing else in the courtyard, only stone statues. When Yan Ruyu saw these stone statues, her heart skipped a beat.

There are dozens of these stone statues in total, with different movements and expressions, but they are all lifelike and like real people.

It's so realistic that it's not pleasing to the eye, but a bit creepy.

The Taoist priest first passed through the stone statue and reached the other side.

Magistrate Cao said to Huo Changhe: "Sir, lower officials cannot enter the battle. Whoever wants something will enter the battle."

Huo Changhe also noticed that the stone statue was strange, and Yan Ruyu took a step forward to him: "Sir, I will accompany you."

Magistrate Cao said: "This... little brother, you should wait outside."

"County magistrate, I also have something to ask for, and I also hope that my wife can come back safely." Yan Ruyu asked, "Are you saying that whoever has a request will enter the battle?"

"Yes..." Magistrate Cao wanted to say something else, but the Taoist priest on the other side flicked his fly whisk and said, "Yes."

As soon as the Taoist priest said it, Magistrate Cao said no more.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu walked into the stone statue formation together.

They walked slowly. When Yan Ruyu saw the third stone statue, she felt it looked familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Going further, the seventh one looks a bit familiar again.

Yan Ruyu's mind exploded, and she remembered where she had seen it before!

She immediately looked at Huo Changhe, and Huo Changhe also looked at her, exchanging glances with understanding.

They had seen the third and seventh stone statues when they were in Li Jingyao Water Village. They were corpses that were fished out.

Could it be that these stone statues remember the missing villagers?

The breeze rises, stirring the fallen leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound that makes people's hair stand on end.

Huo Changhe narrowed his eyes slightly, held Yan Ruyu's hand, and walked a few more steps. Yan Ruyu turned her head and looked at the stone statue he just passed by, and found that it was still the seventh one.

Didn't you just pass by?

She stopped, Huo Changhe also stopped, and they both looked to their other sides at the same time.

Those stone statues with different expressions are moving!

At the same time, the Taoist priest's voice came from a distance: "You two, please be careful! What this formation tests is the greed, greed and obsession in people's hearts. If there are distracting thoughts in their hearts, it may be difficult to get out of this stone statue formation. "

Yan Ruyu sneered.

Huo Changhe stood back to back with her: "Yu'er, don't be afraid."

"Remember the Bronze Man Formation I said?" Yan Ruyu slowly drew her knife, "This is much simpler than the Bronze Man Formation."

Huo Changhe drew out his sword and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's break the formation together."

"There should be mechanisms placed under some stone statues, or the entire land is a living mechanism, so be careful."

Huo Changhe nodded: "The moving of these stone statues is annoying, so why not..."

Before he finished speaking, a stone statue beside him moved again.

A sword stabs out!

There was a slight "click" sound.

Yan Ruyu looked back and saw that the sword had passed through the stone statue, and blood was slowly oozing from the wound on the stone statue.

Her eyes opened slightly, but Huo Changhe didn't expect it and couldn't help but be startled.

In a moment of confusion, another stone statue came over with a "rumbling", and another one squeezed behind him. The momentum was so strong that it seemed to squeeze the two of them in the middle.

Huo Changhe came to his senses, retracted his sword, and quickly avoided with Yan Ruyu.

After this avoidance, the two of them separated.

Yan Ruyu looked back at the impaled stone statue, but she didn't know where it had been moved.

Could it be that there is a real person here? Is it really sealed inside?

As soon as this thought came up, Yan Ruyu's heart sank.

If this was the case, both she and Huo Changhe would be wary. Although the people inside were definitely dead, they would not kill them casually.

Soon, another stone statue rushed towards her.

Yan Ruyu's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her knife and struck the stone statue on the shoulder. Sure enough, blood seeped out again!

She quickly retracted the knife and turned sideways to avoid Huo Changhe, who was not far away and was also surrounded by several stone men, but he still thought of her.

Yan Ruyu lowered her head to look at the knife, which was still stained with blood. She twisted her fingers and couldn't help but sneer.

The Taoist priest in the distance stood still and watched quietly.

Yan Ruyu smiled solemnly at him and waved the knife.
