High priest

In the claustrophobic room, there is no light or shadow.

Zhang Yan sat cross-legged on a futon, shirtless and dripping with cold sweat.His skin was frosty white, he didn't look like a living person at all, and there was no blood on his face.The reddish black air lingered around him, like a knot of hair that was still messed up after being cut.

It is said that this is the doom and curse entwined in his life thread.They passed on the evil consequences that the biological father should have suffered to him, and then absorbed his luck to support the biological father.Taking advantage of this, his biological father was stable for ten years, but he was troubled for life.

From the death of his grandfather to his mother's illness, from dropping out of school to work to being bitten by a flying zombie, if he hadn't been tough enough, he might have walked on the road to hell.

Fortunately, he met a nobleman.

And since the nobleman saved his life and allowed him to transform, his lost fate and luck finally came back!The thread of the curse is tied into a knot, which is a sign of the beginning of backlash.Whatever his biological father took from him, he had to repay the same.

However, when the curse is not completely eradicated, it has great hidden dangers.For example, the evil way that once knew his horoscope would use this to find his whereabouts, and if he was more ruthless, he could cause him a lot of trouble.

"Meditate." Ji Si's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, as cool as an autumn moon.

"Concentrate on finding the ray of 'vigor' embedded in the dead knot, that is the sign of the evil way to use your horoscope to cast spells." Ji Si said calmly, "Your horoscope, fetal hair, photos and blood are all in his hands Here, as long as he thinks, he can trap you in the gossip formation. If you are lucky enough to escape the gate, you will live; if you are unlucky to escape to the gate of rest, injury, and death, you will die."

"Bagua array?"

"Well, the house is still the house, the road is still the road, but the people are already in the formation." Ji Si said lightly, "You may see your acquaintances in the big formation, but remember, they are not real, they are mostly just thinking. Devour your ghost."

"However, I'm not worried about what you say. You are a 'stiff person' and have a natural ability to distinguish ghosts. Do your thing with peace of mind."

Zhang Yan listened unconsciously, and his impetuous heart suddenly calmed down.He slowed down his breathing, carefully discerning the only "vigor".

This is destined to be a long process, just like finding a dark brown hair in a handful of black hair. It not only tests the ability, but also tests the discernment.

Time passed by, blinking for half an hour.Zhang Yan's finger on his knee moved slightly. He seemed to be in a half-dream and half-awake state, and slowly raised his hand to flick to the left.

The index finger pushed aside a clump of black silk, they drifted erratically, and soon changed their shape and scattered and gathered.

Zhang Yan turned his head sideways, as if he was listening to something.Soon, he quickly grabbed the other side, and the moment the black silk split, a red light flashed like a live fish, and he suddenly opened his eyes!

In the next second, the man's long, pitch-black nails stabbed the live fish precisely.

"fish?"

"There are yin and yang fishes in Tai Chi, so its form is like this." Ji Si said softly, "Evil Dao takes up the word 'Dao' after all, it is both evil and Dao. But anything that is connected with 'Dao' is not easy to deal with. .Especially you, the Taoist must be very happy to see you."

"why?"

Ji Si blinked: "Aren't movies about Taoist priests beating zombies a specialty of Central Continent? Zombies are always beaten to death on their way to enlightenment, and there is no turning back."

Zhang Yan: ...

He laughed and shook his head, and imprisoned the live fish with his backhand.Reminiscent of the phrase "the flow of energy is mutual", Zhang Yan tried to input energy into its body - and saw a silver thread coming out of the fish's tail, floating to a far, far away place.

Ji Si smiled and said, "Clean up the troops, we should go."

……

It was seven o'clock at night, and Zhang Yan, who was carrying a mahogany sword and holding a soul calling bell, lowered his peaked cap, revealing only the lower half of his face.Beside him, Ji Si was hidden in the dimension, blending into the dark night.

Zhang Yan walked forward along the seemingly invisible filament, and vaguely saw a large abandoned factory in front of him, smelling of rust and scorched earth: "This is... Linxiu Chemical Factory?"

"You know this place?"

Zhang Yan nodded: "When I caught the monster before, I chased it around here. I heard from the old man in the team that Linxiu was a treasure in the outskirts of Kyoto 20 years ago, but after a fire, there was nothing. Willing to give up Lin Xiu, tried to rebuild the factory many times, but failed every time.”

"The foundation can't be laid down, the factory building can't be built, it is said that there are ghosts crying at night...it has been abandoned until now."

Ji Si nodded: "Lin Xiu, of course he has to bear the blows. Muxiu must be destroyed by the wind in the forest, and it can only grow into a towering giant tree if it is constantly urged." Suddenly, he stopped his voice, "Someone is coming."

Zhang Yan came back to his senses immediately, and saw a figure flashing hundreds of meters away, approaching him in a short time.

"Awakened?" Can ordinary people have this speed?

"...Tiyun Zong is the basic skill of Taoism." Ji Si explained, "carrying water on mountain roads, flying over eaves and walls, it will come naturally after more than ten years of practice. However, from a scientific point of view, it can be called 'parkour' .”

Zhang Yan: I think you have always been at odds with science.

After three breaths, a thin middle-aged man in black clothes and pants landed in front of Zhang Yan.He has a thin face, but his eyes are bright, but the eight-legged beard and protruding buck teeth are too obscene, which makes him look quite cunning.

Facts have proved that he is indeed very cunning.

"Young man..." He twirled his beard, "May I ask your Excellency how much Yundou is? What are the words for upper and lower? Where is the blood dripping from the three mountains?"

Zhang Yan's mind was filled with question marks, and Ji Si said, "Just beat him up."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan immediately raised his fist to hit him, but this guy directly raised his hand as a sign of surrender, flattering him again and again: "Fellow Daoist, just kidding! Just kidding! Don't mind! Don't be impulsive!"

Zhang Yan pretended to be annoyed and let go, but this guy showed him the way as if he saw a "relative", and walked to the abandoned factory building, going deeper and deeper: "They are holding on too tightly, they have been hunting us, and other strongholds have been captured. It's over, I can only hide here. The high priest is back, if..."

The left ear is the chatter of the thin man, and the right ear is Ji Si's calm explanation.

"Yundou asks about his cultivation, up and down asks about his name, and Sanshan's dripping blood asks about the place where the talisman was officially conferred. There is nothing wrong with this question, but it is mainly used to ask about the disciples of famous schools, and not everyone in the world Taoist priests can learn from famous families." Ji Sidao, "Therefore, sometimes it is an offense to ask."

"He's testing you." Ji Si narrowed his eyes, "He asked you to fight, that's the best solution. Ascetics do whatever they want, and that punch tells him that you are not a famous family, so don't ask if you shouldn't."

Zhang Yan realized that it was really interlaced like a mountain, he didn't understand these rules at all.

The thin man talked for a while, seeing that Zhang Yan didn't talk to him, his eyes rolled: "I don't know if you have senior sisters, I have a son..."

"Punch him again."

Bang——this punch was solid!

The man fell to the ground with an ouch, and got up quickly: "It's a joke, it's a joke! I'm talking nonsense, there's nothing else to say!"

Zhang Yan withdrew his fist and turned around. The man dispelled all his doubts, and just said "wait a moment" and ran to the depths of the factory building.If there is a substantial black mist that distorts the surrounding scene, the land is still the same land, and the house is still the same house, but I always feel that something is different.

Ji Sidao: "Fellow Taoists call 'Senior Brother', no matter male or female. It is false to talk about having seniors and sisters in one's own family." Of course, the group of immortal cultivators who fly to the sky and escape in different worlds are not counted.

Zhang Yan: ...

After holding back, he still couldn't hold back: "Who made so many rules?"

Ji Si: "Your ancestors."

Zhang Yan: ...

Although the nobleman's image in his mind has always been great and upright, but for some reason, he feels a little bit like hitting someone now.However, the emotions didn't ferment for a long time, and the thin man turned around and said with a smile: "Come in with me."

All of a sudden, Zhang Yan felt a flicker of fluctuation in front of his eyes, and the factory building seemed to have changed a little bit.He couldn't tell what was wrong, he just felt that the scene was more "real".

He followed the man through the square of the old factory building and into the empty and desolate production room.Everything here has been burnt and burnt away by time, except for the outline, it can't be seen what it used to be.Moss and weeds, wet mud snakes and insects, mixed with a bit of bloody smell.

After that, they bypassed the factory building and came to a storage room.

Pushing open the door, one can see that the lights inside are dim, the walls are covered with corpses and skeletons, and snakes and insects are poisonous on the ground.There were ten men and women with strange shapes gathered here, half of them looked like foreigners, half of them looked like Chinese, all of them turned their heads to look at him.

"Counting him, we have 13 people." The voice said, the evil way that Zhang Yan hated to the bone.Probably due to the influence of Ji Si's aura, he didn't notice that something was wrong with Zhang Yan, he just raised his half-destroyed face and said with a sneer, "That woman Carrie said that a ceremony can be performed with thirteen people together ,real?"

"Of course." The blond man exhaled smoke rings, and his lower lip was covered with silver rings. "The number 13 can summon demons. As long as there are enough sacrifices, we can convert more people into the same kind."

Now, just wait for Carrie to come back.

They didn't suspect Zhang Yan at all, and they didn't even ask how he got here.For this group of people, it is natural for demons to attract demons, and "No. 13 people" can come because they follow the guidance of demons.

"Young man, what's your name?"

In the light, the face-ruined Evil Dao stretched out his hand as if to invite.The left half of his face that was not destroyed was quite gentle, and when he smiled, it gave people the illusion of gentleness.

It's a pity that the gentleness of a beast in clothes is always an appearance.

Ji Si smiled lightly: "Leave this to you, and the rest to me."

Zhang Yan nodded, and shook Xiedao's hand back.The big grasp was tight, and the cold passed, he took off his peaked cap: "I am Zhang Yan, the person you took to change your life for ten years."

The evil face suddenly changed!

The so-called accident really only happened in an instant, Zhang Yan turned his grip into a pinch, directly grabbed Xie Dao's neck, and swung him heavily against the wall with the special strength of his body.

The evil way reacted very quickly and grabbed Zhang Yan's collar, the two giant forces stuck together, and finally smashed down a wall.

"The traitorous No.13 person..."

Debris flew, and the remaining few people immediately picked up their belongings, but they had no time to participate in the battle, and heard a soft "wow" sound in the space.

As if an extremely thin water curtain was cut, Ji Si stood tall and tall, and said with a smile: "You are already surrounded by me."

Crowd: ...

They knew the face and remembered the familiar voice.Not long ago, they sensed his energy in the "Awakening" video. They wanted to remember him and curse him, but they were frightened by an inexplicable fear after just one meeting, and they dared not rush at all. He strikes.

They didn't know who he was, whether he was a high-level awakened person or...not a human?

They only knew that the high priest and the awakened people around him were the ones they had to avoid.Once they fight, the bad things can only be them.

So, when they heard that the high priest was in Kyoto, they moved directly to the outskirts.

Didn't you think you couldn't escape, couldn't avoid it?

But it doesn't matter, as long as Carrie can succeed, even if they "die" here, they will be reborn.The monsters laughed sullenly, and under the premise of "not dying", they decided to test Ji Si's level.

Ji Si said nothing, just stretched out a finger, and slowly swipe down——

Boom!

A 3000-meter-long, [-]-meter-deep crack opened, and the monster rushing to the front fell directly into it!

"Courage is commendable." He said coolly.In the next second, the cracked ground suddenly closed, and there was only a scream from the monster below.

A blood!

Ji Si hooked his lips: "Next."

They paused and ran away!
