Chapter 294 Escape from death with the divine soul technique

Zhuocuo helped Zhang Ling to the front hall. As soon as he entered, he saw that only one of the two black candles on the altar table was left, which had been lit, illuminating the hall with a faint green.

"Fortunately, the old corpse only took one. If it had taken both, we would really be doomed."

Zhuo Cuo and Zhang Ling walked over. At this time, Zhuo Cuo glanced outside the hall and saw that the door that he could not open no matter what happened had been opened, revealing a yellow mud path outside and black walls on both sides. A pine forest of crows.

"look!"

Zhuocuo motioned to Zhang Ling.

"The scene outside is completely different from before we came in. This place should be a space of its own, which further proves that if you want to get out from here, you can only look deep into the Taoist temple!"

The scene outside the door made the two of them more certain about their guesses. Just when Zhuocuo reached for the black candle, Zhang Ling saw the statue behind it reflected in the green firelight. It was originally a statue of a clay body, but at this time it turned out that Half of his face was cracked, and a few pieces had fallen off, revealing the blue skin underneath.

"Wait!"

Zhang Ling stopped Zhuo Cuo's arm.

"What's wrong? Get the candle and leave quickly, otherwise something will happen if you wait too long!"

"Look up first!"

As soon as Zhuocuo raised his head, the corner of his mouth twitched.

"The old Taoist corpse didn't just take out one candle out of kindness, but it could only take out one candle. This candle was probably used to suppress the statue. If one candle is missing, the statue has changed. Let's put it there again. If you take this candle away, I'm afraid the statue will come to life immediately."

"Damn it, why is this Taoist temple full of weird things! But we don't have candles, how can we get out of the darkness behind it?"

Zhang Ling pondered for a moment, "Black coffin, bring the black coffin over and put the statue in it."

"There is currently no evidence that the black coffin has a suppressive effect on weirdness!"

"Then do you have any other ideas?"

"Okay, I'll move here right now."

When Zhuo Cuo came to the back, he saw that the black coffin was filled with asphalt-like, foul-smelling corpse water.

He suppressed his nausea and struggled to carry the black coffin to the front, and then jumped on the altar to move the statue in. He had seen it before and found that the size of the statue matched the size of the coffin.

However, this statue may not look big, but its weight is extremely heavy. Zhuo Cuo held it with both arms and exerted all his energy, unable to shake it even a little bit.

Now Zhang Ling is seriously injured and cannot help him.

While Zhuo Cuo was still competing with the statue, Zhang Ling staggered forward and wrapped the ribbon in her hand around the waist of the statue. As soon as the ribbon was tied, it emitted a golden light, and then Zhuo Cuo felt a movement on his arm. Lightly, he suddenly picked up the statue.

"Without this ribbon, we are behind."

"Stop talking nonsense, can you move it without tying it up? Put it in quickly!"

"oh!"

When Zhuocuo put the statue into the coffin and closed the coffin board, he immediately heard some slight movement inside.

The coffin blocked out the candlelight, and the statue inside really changed.

The two of them didn't know how long the combination of the ribbon and the black coffin could suppress the statue. They didn't dare to waste time, so they took the black candle and went straight to the back.

There were no twists and turns on the road. When they stepped into the darkness behind the wooden door, they found that the originally boundless darkness had turned into a straight corridor, with a series of windowless and locked rooms on both sides.

After entering this place, the black candle suddenly burned faster.

The two of them walked forward along the corridor until the candle was half burned, but they still didn't reach the end.

Although the two were anxious, they had no choice but to hope that the candle would support them until they got out of here.

The rooms on both sides looked almost identical to the naked eye. Just when the two of them felt that they were trapped again and walked the same path over and over again, the room finally changed.

But this change made the two of them look extremely ugly.

The wooden door of a room opened, and it was empty inside.

Something inside has escaped!

Zhuo Cuo glanced at Zhang Ling nervously, his Adam's apple shrunk, and he swallowed a gulp of saliva.

Zhang Ling's two thin eyebrows stood up, "Keep walking!"

There were more and more rooms like this in the back, and Zhuo Cuo began to feel extremely cold under his feet, as if the blue brick road was paved with ice, and the cold air penetrated his boots like needles and drilled into the soles of his feet.

Zhang Ling was supported by Zhuo Cuo, with cold sweat on her face. She endured the severe pain from the wound, and her head felt as heavy as a piece of pig iron. Her neck was difficult to support and her head tilted weakly.

Zhuo Cuo, who was supporting him, suddenly stopped. She cheered up and raised her head with all her strength. She saw a black figure in front of her. Standing not far away, she could vaguely see a pure white face in the darkness. The facial features are blurred.

The candle's flame suddenly expanded and burned rapidly.

"Walk!"

When Zhang Ling saw the candle flames expanding, she knew in her heart that the strangeness had been shielded by the candle flames. Otherwise, they would not have seen the strangeness, but another horrific attack.

Zhuo Cuo gritted his teeth, stared, and led Zhang Ling towards the strange thing in front of him. Sure enough, as the candle approached, the strange thing automatically retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

Strange things appeared one after another. The two were very fast, but the black candle burned very fast.

In addition to lighting up the darkness here, the candle also has to protect the two of them from a lot of weirdness.

The two of them felt chills in their hearts and did not dare to hesitate. They had to get out of here before the candlelight was extinguished. Otherwise, not only would they be lost in the darkness, but they would also be attacked by a large number of strange people, and they would definitely die.

After walking for a while, a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of us.

"Which way to go?"

"Taste!" Zhang Ling's voice was already very weak and she said feebly.

Zhuocuo understood and inhaled sharply through his nose, smelling the disgusting corpse smell in the corridor on the left.

Since the prison guards were walking to the left, no matter whether there was a way out on the right or not, they had no choice.

The two of them walked towards the corridor on the right without hesitation.

After walking through a passage without rooms, they entered a spacious room. At this time, the candles were almost burning down, and there was not much time left for them.

"Find a way quickly!"

Zhuocuo was about to take a step when he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold wind coming from beside him, as if someone was about to blow out the candle in his hand.

The candle flame shook violently, and the flame shrank instantly. Fortunately, Zhuo Cuo reacted quickly and protected it with his hands in time, and the flame gradually recovered.

At this time, Zhuo Cuo felt something rub against his shoulder. He glanced at it and saw a black handprint on his shoulder.

At the moment when the candlelight shrunk, there was a ghost hand silently placed on his shoulder from behind. Fortunately, the candlelight did not go out, otherwise, I am afraid that I would be pulled into the darkness in the next second.

The two quickly searched for a way out of the room. As they walked, corpses kept appearing on the ground, and highly decomposed faces kept flickering in the green candlelight.

The two of them didn't have time to care about these things. They stepped over. There were so many corpses behind them that there was no place to stay. They had to step on the corpses to move forward.

Finally, they saw a wooden door in the candlelight. It was unlocked and had a crack open. A vertical strip of blue light came in from the crack.

"found it!"

The two were overjoyed and hurried over.

At this time, a face swept across the pile of corpses in front of the door caught Zhuo Cuo's attention. Half of the face had no skin and was mutilated with flesh and blood. It was a bit more horrifying than the dead face next to it.

But after Zhuocuo saw it, he couldn't help but burst out, "Master Rigzin!"

The person who fell in front of the wooden door turned out to be Renzeng, who had never been seen. I don’t know what he went through in the Taoist temple. He was able to find this place without relying on the black candle, but he still fell in front of the wooden door, just one step away. , the difference between life and death.

The crack in the wooden door was probably pushed open by him before he died.

"That lama who came in with you?"

"Yes, the master actually fell on the last step!"

Zhuocuo was in a very sad mood at this time. He had always been taken care of by Renzeng. Without him, how could he have come to the Taoist temple alive?

"Guru."

Zhang Ling interrupted Zhuo Cuo's sadness in time, "He is dead, but we are not dead yet, let's go!"

Zhang Ling pushed the door open.

The bright moon is in the sky!

Two walls appeared in front of him, forming a straight walkway.

"gone!"

Zhang Ling urged.

When Zhuocuo was about to go out, he suddenly saw a demon-subduing pestle inserted into Renzeng's chest. This demon-subduing pestle was originally Renzen's own magic weapon.

As soon as his mind moved, he bent down and left with Rigzen's body.

At this time, the candle in Zhuo Cuo's hand still had a thin layer of wax left, but it was completely consumed and suddenly went out.

As soon as the candlelight disappeared, the wooden door that was one step away from him suddenly began to blur, and was about to be surrounded by darkness.

Zhuo Cuo didn't dare to hesitate, grabbed Renzen's collar and stepped out.

"so close!"

"What's the use of bringing the body out?"

Zhang Ling sighed and expressed her disbelief that Zhuo Cuo would take risks just for a corpse.

"No matter what, bring it out first and then talk!"

Zhuocuo carried Renzeng's body on his back and then looked up.

The clear light of the bright moon above his head made him feel a surge of vitality rushing towards his face, and the depression he had felt in the dim environment for a long time was swept away.

He helped Zhang Ling and walked forward.

The two walked forward, and after walking for a while, they saw a door that was almost exactly the same as the Taoist temple door at the end of the road.

"exit!"

Zhuo Cuo was already convinced that this was the exit from the Taoist temple here. He had gone through a lot of hardships in the past few days, and had experienced life and death several times. One mistake in judgment would have killed him in the Taoist temple, but he finally made it here.

Suddenly there was a sound from behind, a heavy footsteps came from behind the wooden door, and at the same time there was the disgusting smell of corpses.

"No, the prison officer is coming after me, hurry up!"

Zhuo Cuo no longer cared about Zhang Ling's injury and forced her to run forward.

The wooden door at the back suddenly opened, and darkness flowed out from inside like water.

The two finally ran to the end, Zhuocuo punched out, and the wooden door suddenly opened without any resistance.

As the wooden door opened, the place was no longer silent, and bursts of high-pitched sword sounds and the sound of air bursting came over.

Zhuocuo saw a man in the night sky holding a long sword. Black sword energy rose hundreds of feet from the sword body. A black dragon appeared on his body. He was fighting with the corpse of the old Taoist. Although the place was still scorched by the fire, it was already scorched. It is not a place to enter a Taoist temple by yourself.

The strong wind and the scattered sword energy were raging, and sword marks continued to appear on the scorched earth, cutting the earth into pieces.

Who else could that man be if he wasn't Jiang You?

"teacher!"

"Brother Jiang!"

After the two shouted out, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Do you know Teacher/Brother Jiang?"

As soon as the two appeared, they were discovered by Jiang You who was in the middle of the battle.

At this time, he was pressing down the corpse of the old man and beating him. He had returned to Fengxian before. On the way, a group of fighter jets roared past in the distance, which made him think that the escort team must be in trouble, so he went to Tongcheng first and inquired about this place. Only after the members of the Righteous Alliance came to know that the third and fourth strongholds were strangely attacked by a large number of monsters.

Taoist Priest Chiyun and Master Fazhao have rushed to support.

After Jiang You knew about it, he immediately set off for it. At the fourth stronghold, he met Chiyun who was being besieged by several big monsters. He immediately joined the battle group, and after working with Chiyun to kill the monsters, they went to support Fazhao and help him. They also killed several weird ones with terrifying strength. By this time, Wang Hai and the others had already broken through.

Chi Yun and Fazhao guarded the fourth stronghold, while Jiang You responded to the three breakout teams.

He found the two teams and sent them safely to the fourth stronghold, but Wang Hai's team could not be found. Just when Jiang You was searching the mountains, he felt a powerful evil spirit filling the sky in the distance. , he went there and happened to encounter the corpse of the old Taoist who had just come out of the Taoist temple.

As soon as the two met, there was no nonsense and they immediately started fighting.

At this time, Jiang You's majestic sword energy was pressing down on Lao Dao's body and attacking fiercely. After seeing the two of them, he raised his hand and slashed at them with his sword.

The two saw Jiang You slashing at them as soon as they met.

"Why?"

The two of them were shocked. They didn't know why Jiang You attacked them. The black sword energy came very fast and arrived in the blink of an eye. Just when they thought they were about to be killed by Jiang You's sword, the sword energy came from two sides. The gap between people flies to the back.

Then there was a violent wave of air, and the two people and Renzin's body were rushed out of the door. Only then did they see a tall black figure standing behind the wooden door.

"Prison guard!"

The prison guard had appeared at the door at some point, and Jiang You's sword was also heading towards it.

Jiang You's Demon-Slaying Sword Qi was also scratched to pieces by one of its raised hands, without causing any damage.

At this time, the two finally saw the true appearance of the prison guard. The face was exactly the same as the corpse of the old Taoist!

"No, it's not the prison guard, it's the statue of the god we locked in the black coffin!"

Zhang Ling saw that the body at the door looked exactly like the old Taoist body, but it was tied with a ribbon that no longer glowed and looked like an ordinary object.

Just when the two of them were extremely shocked, the floating soil on the ground suddenly sank, and an extremely majestic aura came from Jiang You.

Longwei!

At the same time, the black dragon shadow that Jiang You had been holding silently finally flew out with a burst of sword energy.

The old Taoist corpse was instantly torn apart by the black dragon!

But Jiang You did not receive the strange killing prompt. The old Taoist corpse turned into a ball of black smoke and flew towards the wooden door. The prison officer opened his mouth and inhaled all the smoke.

And as the prison officer absorbed the black smoke that the old Taoist corpse turned into, Jiang You sensed that its momentum became more powerful. The ground here began to tremble, like an earthquake. The Taoist temple was shaking, and bricks continued to fall downwards. The stone tiles looked like they were about to collapse.

Fortunately, the tremors in the earth soon disappeared.

At this time, Jiang You had already fallen from the sky to the ground, and said to the two of them: "Come here quickly!"

The two of them got up from the ground with difficulty and ran behind Jiang You.

Jiang You held his sword and looked at the prison officer behind the wooden door.

After a while, the darkness behind the prison officer gradually swallowed it up. Then the wooden door closed with a bang, and the entire Taoist temple gradually became transparent and finally disappeared in place.

When Zhuo Cuo and Zhang Ling saw this, they knew that this matter was finally over. They both fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

"How come you two are still together? What happened to Rigzin? Where are the others?"

Zhuocuo then remembered Rigzin and quickly stood up, "Teacher, guru him"

Jiang You had already laid Renzeng down on the ground, "It's hard to say!"

As he spoke, Jiang You held the demon-subduing pestle on Renzeng's chest and pulled it out at once. The demon-subduing pestle seemed to suppress part of Renzeng's vitality. As the suppression disappeared, this part of the vitality spread out in his body. The heart that had stopped beating was trembling, but there was not enough vitality to activate it.

Jiang You crossed a stream of immortal energy and his heart began to beat.

"Rigzin's method integrates offense and defense. It can fight the enemy, save lives, and suppress vitality. Theravada Buddhism really cannot be underestimated!"

Jiang You couldn't help but sigh in admiration when he understood the principle of Renzin's life-preservation.

"Teacher, is the master alive?"

"Well, I'm alive, but I've been suspended for too long, and it will take some time to wake up."

Jiang You looked at Zhang Ling and smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you here!"

"Brother Jiang!" Zhang Ling said with a somewhat excited expression.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a while, and my strength has increased several times. It seems that I have endured a lot of hardships during this period. Come on, it's your turn!"

Zhang Ling knew that Jiang Yuan wanted to heal her injuries, but for some reason, Zhang Ling's expression at this time changed from the previous vigorous and resolute look, and she was a little shy.

Zhuo Cuo, who was standing next to him, was amazed. This woman actually knew the teacher. Why did she look different from the one inside the Taoist temple when she came out? Could it be that she was shy? Obviously it didn't matter before.

At this time, Zhang Ling's lower abdominal wound was torn again because it was pulled by Zhuo Cuo when it came out just now. A large amount of blood seeped out of the bandage made of Zhuo Cuo's vest and dripped down.

Jiang You ignored Zhang Ling's manipulation. The injury was not serious. If the bleeding continued, his life would be in danger.

As soon as he raised his hand, he knocked Zhang Ling down and placed her on the ground. He took off the 'bandage' from the wound and saw the shocking wound and a broken intestine.

"I was injured so badly, but I can still hold on until now. Not bad, not bad!"

Zhang Ling's face turned red at this time and she tilted her head to the side. She had thought about many scenarios of meeting Jiang You again, but there was no scene of healing her intestines. When she thought of this, she wanted to find a place. Drill in.

Jiang You used Changshengqi to connect Zhang Ling's severed intestines together. During the treatment, he found that there was still residual demonic energy in Zhang Ling's stomach. He immediately guessed how the wound was caused, and his eyes showed approval. .

He helped Zhang Ling expel the demonic energy from her body, and then sealed the wound with longevity energy.

"Okay, it's okay! Zhuocuo, Wang Hai and the others also entered that Taoist temple?"

"Yes teacher!"

When Jiang You heard this, he stopped asking questions, knowing that the others had stayed there forever.

"Find a place and tell me carefully what happened to you!"

In a cave somewhere in the mountains, an orange-red bonfire was crackling and burning. The two of them sat beside the bonfire in intoxication, eating the monster meat given by Jiang You. After they were full, they took a sip of spiritual wine. I felt like I was finally alive again.

Zhuocuo stretched his hand very close to the bonfire and felt the heat coming from his hand, but Zhang Ling kept her head lowered and didn't know what she was thinking.

Zhuocuo began to talk to Jiang about things in the Taoist temple.

"We were about to be overtaken by the monsters behind us and found a Taoist temple in front of us. Captain Wang Hai ordered us to go inside and take shelter."

Jiang You listened and made judgment in his heart.

"Is the appearance of this Taoist temple really a coincidence?"

Jiang You no longer believed in coincidences. From Zhuo Cuo's story, he judged that the Taoist temple should be a prison where weird things were kept. As the spiritual energy revived, the prison and the weird things inside revived.

And the reason why it appears in front of people is to let people in and break the balance of a certain restriction inside.

"Yes, your guess is correct. The Taoist temple is indeed a world of its own. When I discovered it outside, the Taoist temple was very small. There are indeed many places in this world that are connected to other dimensions. I have encountered them myself. Several times, you have judged correctly that it is impossible to walk out through the main entrance."

The two of them heard that Jiang You had done similar things several times, and they admired Jiang You. Only by experiencing it personally can they know how terrible such an incident is, and how desperate and powerless people can be when they are involved in it.

Jiang You also reviewed the story for them, saying that the darkness should be the connection point between the Taoist space and reality. Only the candles inside can find the right path. Without candles, they would probably be lost in the dark space forever.

There may be something more terrifying inside than the entire Taoist temple.

"Teacher, why do the old Taoist corpse and the statue have the same face? I even think that the black coffin prison officer who I haven't met yet will have the same face!"

Zhuocuo finally asked what he was most confused about. After he asked, Zhang Ling, who had been silent, also quietly pricked up her ears.

"You said you found a ribbon recording Taoist exercises inside, right?"

Jiang You did not answer directly, but asked about the ribbon.

"Yes, that skill should be very powerful, but it's a pity that it was left inside and could not be brought out!"

Although Zhuocuo said this, he didn't really feel sorry. They had no choice in the situation at that time, and facts proved that the choice at that time was extremely correct. If there was no ribbon to delay time, how could they escape.

"Teacher, why did you suddenly ask about that ribbon?"

"Because I think the three things look the same, just because of this technique. They are the same person!"

"Ah? How is this possible?"

"One Qi transforms three pure things!" Zhang Ling suddenly said at this time.

Because Zhuocuo is a Tibetan, he doesn't know the allusions in Taoism, but Zhang Ling and Jiang You got some glimpses of them.

"But it should be the technique of killing three corpses. I guess that the owner of the Taoist temple was an extremely powerful Taoist who suppressed all the weird things in the Taoist temple. But maybe there was a mistake in his practice or some other reason. Two corpses were cut out. The one in the statue should be the real body. The black coffin prison officer you mentioned should be the corpse that adheres to the concept of suppressing weirdness. The old Taoist should have other corpses on his mind. The old Taoist ran out. Later, because of the body of the Taoist temple master, Death, ran back again, and prepared some means, which was the red coffin you were hiding in, but it was still messed up. Although they were cut apart, they were still one body after all. He was still alive, so could the master's true body be dead? ? He was trapped inside and couldn’t get out. It wasn’t until today that he found a chance to escape after you entered!"

"It's a pity that when I met the teacher, he was killed by the teacher's sword!"

Zhuo Cuo and Yan Luo had only been hanging around for a few days, but a simple young man could actually flatter him. It was really hard to learn well, but he slipped away when he was bad.

But his flattery was slapped on the horse's hooves. Jiang You looked gloomy after hearing this, "On the contrary, I may have broken the real balance. The three corpses, with their different strengths, can only be trapped, and no one can do anything to them. I kill one, and he returns to his origin. He is absorbed by the other, and the balance is broken. The prison guard inside may soon be absorbed by the idol, and the two corpses become one. A thing with extremely terrifying strength is about to be born!"

When Jiang said this, the two of them trembled involuntarily. One of them was so terrifying. After absorbing two things, what level of strength would they reach? Just thinking about it made them feel desperate. Moreover, after the old Taoist was born, the Taoist temple Are all the weird things suppressed inside also released?

"Forget it, these things are not your concern. If the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up first. If you can't hold it anymore, you can go up again!"

Jiang You's bad mood was mostly because he had broken his balance, and he took the birth of Lao Dao very lightly.

Nowadays, such things are popping up all over the place. All kinds of ancient gods and gods are recovering. There are no worries if there are too many lice, one more veteran is not too much, and one less is not too much.

"Brother Jiang, I've seen that technique and I've memorized it all!"

Zhang Ling said suddenly.

"Oh?" Jiang You's unhappiness was gone. He didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise. That's right, photographic memory is nothing now.

"I'll write it out silently!"

After Zhang Ling said this, she took a wooden stick and started writing silently on the ground.

Although Zhang Ling couldn't understand it at the time, it didn't stop her from memorizing it by rote. As a casual cultivator, she knew better than Zhuo Cuo what a Kung Fu meant, especially the Kung Fu found in such a dangerous place. Law.

This is why she simply used the ribbon. Without the technique, the ribbon is a powerful extraordinary item, just for use.

The article was not long, so Zhang Ling finished it quickly. Jiang You stood up and looked at the words on the ground, his eyes filled with excitement.

"I finally found the Divine Soul Technique!" (End of Chapter)
