Gu Zheng felt the rapid disturbance of the surrounding atmosphere, and the originally calm sky was once again covered by yellow clouds. He didn't know that the violent sandstorm was coming.

Looking at the pale and desperate young monk, Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and before he had time to think about other issues, he gave Xiaoying a wink and pointed at him.

Xiaoying nodded reluctantly, a green light still shot out from her hand, and in a blink of an eye, the monk was surrounded, entwined like a zongzi.

Being pulled by Xiaoying casually, the whole person quickly approached here.

"Attention!" Gu Zheng raised his head and said subconsciously as he watched the storm approaching.

The next moment, a strong golden light rose on the spot, and at the same time, a yellow tornado pierced through the sky and the earth rose, drowning the golden light in the blink of an eye.

After a stick of incense time passed, an equally huge quicksand pit was left in place, but the golden light in the middle had disappeared.

"Bah bah!"

In a high bulging sand dune, a smaller figure rose from the sky and spit out the sand from its mouth again and again.

At the same time, two figures rose up below, slowly floating a little above the sand dunes.

"I'll let you wait for me, you'll be at a disadvantage this time." Gu Zheng looked at Xiaoying who was spitting, and said involuntarily.

"Who would have thought that being buried deep there is really abominable." Xiaoying said after finally removing the sand all over her body.

Then he turned his head and looked around, pointing to the far side with some surprise.

"Young Master Gu, look quickly, is that Shahai City?"

Not very far away from them, a majestic city appeared in front of their eyes. It was built of huge rocks, with a height of hundreds of feet, which seemed to block the gusts of wind blowing in the sky all the time.

The sand grains brought up by the strong wind flew towards the city, but at this moment, a layer of yellow barrier rose up, blocking them out one after another.

"That's right, since we can't find it, let this sandstorm give us a ride, but this distance is closer than imagined." Gu Zheng looked at the surrounding hills that were tens of feet high, and felt that if they continued to rise, he would It can surround the city of Shahai into a valley.

Originally, Gu Zheng thought that he would have to walk a longer distance, but he didn't expect it to be delivered directly to his door.

"And this little monk, what should we do?" Xiaoying pointed to the little monk next to him who was still surrounded by green light, and asked, "Or just throw him out and let him hang out for three days and three nights, let him stop Let's come in."

"Forget it, let him go, the other party doesn't want us to come in, just because he is afraid of hurting us." Gu Zheng shook his head to stop Xiaoying's suggestion.

"Well, it's cheaper for him." Xiaoying muttered, a little reluctantly.

Gu Zheng glanced at Xiaoying in doubt, and glanced from the beginning to the end, but found nothing wrong. He felt that the other party seemed a little irritable, but he still obeyed his own words and took a closer look when he came back when he had time.

With a childlike personality like her, she is easily disturbed by the outside world, so she must teach her well and not go on a path she shouldn't take.

"Who are you!" Gu Zheng watched Xiaoying release the other party, and when he came back, he saw a loud shout from behind.

Gu Zheng turned his head and saw that it turned out that several people in monk robes were flying towards this side from a distance.

"Brother Liao, they came to visit Master from outside, and the other party also saved my life, but a sudden sandstorm swept me back again." The little monk behind him saw four people flying from a distance, and said hastily.

"So that's how it is, the two benefactors, I'm really sorry, we misunderstood!" The four monks who looked aggressive and fighting, heard the little monk say, and the leader Liao Shixiong put away the killing intent on his face and apologized. Said.

The three behind them also put away their weapons, bowing their heads apologetically.

"It's okay. It's just why it has become like this now. Could it be that there are foreign enemies invading?" Gu Zheng waved his hand, then pointed to the outside protection and said.

"It's hard to say, but since you are all here, come back with us to see the master, and junior brother Qing, you should come back together, the other juniors have failed, we are still worried about you, so you came back. "Senior brother Liao also sighed, and anyone could see the sadness in his eyes.

"It's time to work." Gu Zheng nodded, and followed the opponent towards Shahai City.

As soon as he entered Shahai City, Gu Zheng could feel the panic emanating from the whole city. There were only a few scattered people in the spacious street, and they were in a hurry, and their eyes kept looking around, as if What are you worried about.

Passing through most of the urban area, it can be seen that there are still many people here, but now it looks depressed, and it feels like the whole city is going to be abandoned.

And their destination is the temple at the northern end of the city, which is also the only temple here, and it occupies a huge area.

When Gu Zheng and the others came back, there were quite a few pilgrims coming in and out. Although they were much better than the people watching from outside, they were also panicked. It seemed that they did not get spiritual comfort here.

Entering the temple, a faint scent of sandalwood filled the nostrils, and even many places were surrounded by layers of white mist. Except for some drought-resistant trees, there was not even a flower or the like.

But above the big tree on the eaves, there are some colorful cloth strips and big red lanterns, which look festive.

There are no more than three-story buildings in the entire temple. There are houses connected in a row, and the structure of the houses is mostly built of rocks, which looks very simple.

They didn't go ahead, but circled around from the side.

"The two benefactors, the conditions are a bit rough. I have notified the master in advance, please wait a moment."

Senior Brother Liao and the others separated after entering this not-so-magnificent temple, and Senior Brother Liao led them to a side room, and apologized to them.

"It's okay, we'll just wait here." Gu Zheng didn't mind these peeling chairs.

"My lord, I don't like this place at all, I feel that it makes me upset." Xiaoying, who was sitting beside her, twisted her body and said to Gu Zheng.

"We don't plan to stay for a long time, just bear with it." Gu Zheng thought it was Xiaoying's physique that made him feel uncomfortable.

Even if it is picking up leaks here, it is also a place presided over by eminent monks, so there is a natural restraint on some ghosts and evil spirits.

"Okay, I really want to go back to the picture scroll." Xiaoying muttered, still sitting on it, but twisted it from time to time, which seemed very uncomfortable.

Without waiting for a long time, a cup of tea was less than enough, a very young looking man, who seemed to be incompatible with Gu Zheng, came in from outside wearing a red cassock.

"Master Wuxiang!" Seeing this, Gu Zheng stood up and said to him.

Although it was also the first time for him to see Wuxiang, but the aura of this unfathomable height seemed to be equal to his own cultivation level, so it must be him.

"The benefactor is being polite. I don't know why I have worked so hard to find me. You can also see that there are some changes here. I can't get out of my body now." Master Wuxiang folded his chest and said to Gu Zheng.

He didn't need to come in to feel the breath of Gu Zheng. Since the other party came here, he had something to do with him.

"Just call it Gu Zheng, this is my soul boy Xiaoying." Gu Zheng first introduced himself, but he felt a little troubled, because the other party's appearance did not seem to be an easy matter to solve.

"It's not good, it's not good, master, Junior Brother Qing, who just came back, suddenly went crazy, and he seems to be possessed by evil spirits." At this moment, a terrified cry came from outside, from far to near Come here.

When the sound fell, a young monk who was also young came to the door of the house and looked inside panting.

"Gu benefactor is in a hurry here, I'll take my leave first, and I'll come back to you later." Master Wuxiang's complexion changed, he slightly apologized to Gu Zheng, then turned around and said to the little monk who just arrived.

"Qicha, you take the two benefactors to the back to rest first, and entertain each other well."

"Yes, Master Wuxiang!" The little monk serving tea nodded immediately.

Master Wuxiang left in a hurry, leaving behind Gu Zheng and them.

"Two benefactors, please go to the back room to rest for a while, and Master Wuxiang will let you know when he has time." Qicha here stepped forward and said to Gu Zheng and the others.

"Please lead the way!" Gu Zheng nodded and said.

"By the way, why do you call him Master Wuxiang, while everyone else calls him Master!" Gu Zheng, who was silently walking back halfway, said suddenly, breaking the calm.

"I'm just an ordinary monk here, and those senior brothers are all apprentices of Master Wuxiang, so the titles are of course different." Na Qicha replied immediately after hearing the tea.

"Can you tell me what's going on here? I'm wearing festive attire around here, but I find that everyone here looks sad. What happened?" Gu Zheng followed the trend and continued to ask.

"Everyone here knows about this matter, and it's even serious enough to discuss that everyone should leave here completely." Qicha thought for a while, and decided to speak out, anyway, this is not a secret thing, basically everyone knows about it.

"A few months ago, we were preparing for the Buddha's Birthday Ceremony here, and everything was the same as before. It was also a once-in-a-ten-year event here, but suddenly a lot of strange things happened. Some people disappeared for no reason. Later, even our Brothers also disappeared inexplicably, but even Master Wuxiang didn't know about it."

Qi Cha sighed and continued.

"Since then, people have been missing in the whole city. Almost every day, at least one person disappears, causing people to panic. While Master Wuxiang is stepping up to find out the truth here, on the other hand, he sent people to rescue outside. People will die, or they will be dragged back, and now some people have proposed to abandon this place completely."

"It's so serious, even Master Wuxiang can't find out the truth, what kind of monster dares to make trouble here." Gu Zheng is also very strange, and he said to himself, no wonder he has such a face when he comes in, it's a bit embarrassing now.

"Well, later in the evening, you will send me the basic scriptures, and I will show my soul boy, what do you think?" Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Zheng decided to stay here for a few days, if necessary Just ask directly.

"It's a small matter, of course, it's just ahead. Usually, there are many pilgrims living here to help with the festival, but after these things happened, they have all gone home now, and they are very quiet."

Here they have come to a row of houses next to each other. Gu Zheng, the leader of the tea ceremony, came to a slightly larger room in front of them, and then hurriedly retreated away.

Although this room is small, but there are two rooms inside and outside, it seems that it is convenient for people to sleep separately, and it is considered intentional.

In the evening, the opening tea really brought some scriptures, but there was no news of Master Wuxiang, and it seemed that he was still treating people behind.

After Gu Zheng thanked him, Xiaoying began to take a closer look.

"I don't want to read it, these are so boring, it's annoying to watch." After reading for half an hour, Xiaoying threw the book aside and yelled loudly.

"Why can't I read it anymore? These are just basic scriptures. Keep your emotions in check and read it slowly." Gu Zheng picked up the book and glanced at it. It is basically used for meditation and understanding the foundation of Buddhism.

"I don't want to, I want to sleep." Xiaoying said in a muffled voice as she stretched herself on the bed outside and buried her head in the brand new quilt.

"Then you should rest today, and I'll watch it tomorrow." Seeing this, Gu Zheng thought for a while, and didn't force her. After speaking, he went directly to the back room, meditated and rested.

Speechless all night, Gu Zheng came out early the next morning, watched Xiaoying pretending to be sleeping on the bed, and put the book on the table again.

"Can you watch it later? It hasn't worked out these few days, and I don't understand anything." Xiaoying, who couldn't pretend anymore, raised her head, pretending to be pitiful and sad.

"No, watch it now!" Gu Zheng said with a stern face, with a face that you have to watch if you don't.

Xiaoying had no choice but to float over with a sad face, and sat on the only missing table again, looking at the scriptures spread out, and yelled a little.

"I don't understand at all!"

"I don't understand, I can give it to you!"

Before Gu Zheng could speak, a clear voice came from outside, and then a figure without phase opened the door and walked in.

"My side has already been packed, so I'll come over to your side first." Wu Xiang said to Gu Zheng with a smile on his face that could not be seen tired.

"I don't know how, if I can help, please feel welcome." Gu Zheng stood up and greeted him.

"It's all right, he just needs to rest for a few days. Seeing how many scriptures you picked up yesterday, it seems that you are interested in our Buddhist family?" Wu Xiang pointed to the scriptures on the table and smiled.

"My soul boy has been a little irritable in recent days, so read some scriptures for him to calm down." Gu Zheng pointed to Xiaoying instead.

"I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn at all." Xiaoying over there shook her head and said, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"The little benefactor saw that his spirituality was excellent, and I could tell at a glance that he felt that he was destined for our Buddhism. Here is a string of prayer beads. Take it with you, and everything will go smoothly for you." That Wuxiang chuckled, just like a peddler Said, casually took out a string of emerald-like Buddha beads, the green streamer reflected on it, very beautiful.

When Gu Zheng heard such familiar words, he felt a familiar feeling in his heart. He always felt that this Buddhist school sees that everyone is destined to be with whom.

"I don't want to, I don't want to learn!" Here Xiaoying's head twisted even more, and she seemed very resistant.

"The Buddhist beads are only effective for meditation, don't worry, they won't hurt you!" How could Wu Xiang fail to see Xiaoying's identity, and he raised the Buddhist beads in his hand mainly to show Gu Zheng and reassure him.

Pausing for a while, Wuxiang threw the Buddhist beads in his hand forward, and covered Xiaoying's head.

Seeing this, Xiaoying immediately flew from the bench to the side, trying to avoid the string of beads.

But the beads turned around nimbly in the air, Xiaoying's eyes blurred, her neck felt cold, and she found that the string of beads was already hanging around her neck.

The originally large prayer beads were also shrunk accordingly, and they were hung around her neck in the blink of an eye, making her look more beautiful and dazzling.

"I don't want this thing, I don't want it!" Xiaoying grabbed both sides with both hands, trying to take it off again, but found that she couldn't take it off, as if it had been imprisoned on her neck.

The whole person ran towards Gu Zheng, shouting at the same time.

"Young master, the other party wants to arrest me! Come and save me!"

Gu Zheng didn't ask Xiaoying's yell, but looked at Wuxiang suspiciously, because it was impossible for the other party to do so innocently.

At this time, Wu Xiang's face was relieved, and his face was also full of exhaustion, which was completely different from the energetic one before.

But at this moment, Xiaoying, who suddenly rushed towards Gu Zheng in mid-air, suddenly froze, rolled her eyes, and fell into a coma, her illusionary appearance disappeared, revealing her real body again.

However, as light flashed across the edge of the room, the ghostly aura on Xiaoying's body did not radiate outward.

"Gu benefactor, please sit down and talk. You will know after a while. Don't worry, I will never hurt your soul boy. It's just that when the other party came here, with her special physique, she was also invaded unknowingly." Go in." Na Wuxiang looked at Gu Zheng and said sincerely.

Gu Zheng nodded, and walked a few steps to the side, but stared at him firmly, for fear that he would take Xiaoying away.

This Wuxiang stepped forward and came to Xiaoying's side, grabbed Xiaoying's arm with one hand, and stood upright in front of him with the other, and began to sue with a solemn face.

A series of golden Buddha patterns continued to spit out from him, slowly gathered in front of him, and finally formed a golden lotus flower.

He pushed the lotus flower lightly, slowly flew to the top of Xiaoying's head, and then sank into it. At the same time, the green Buddhist beads flashed suddenly.

The next moment, the golden lotus that went in paid again on the top of Xiaoying's head, but the petals that were originally golden and filled with Buddha's light were now soaked in black mist.

Only a small part of the whole lotus remains intact, exuding an evil aura.

"I didn't expect so much to accumulate in the opponent's body. Fortunately, it was relatively timely."

At this time, Wu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Xiaoying's body, waved the lotus flower in the air and smashed it into pieces.

"Your soul boy is a ghost spirit body. It was already infected when it came into this sea of ​​sand. I discovered it yesterday. If it continues like this, the other party will definitely become a ghost-like existence. It will be really terrible by then. There is no cure, so I made an ordinary prayer bead overnight to suppress the evil spirit in her body."

At this time, Wu Xiang explained to Gu Zheng.
