Chapter 314 Ambush
It was another late night with howling wind and sand and cold fog. Lin Shan paced back and forth in the room, restless, looking out at the gloomy night from time to time, his face full of worry.
In recent days, Mingyue Temple has killed and injured many disciples, but he has never seen the shadow of the evil cultivator, which really makes him distressed. If this continues, Mingyue Temple may fall into a place of eternal disaster.
"Brother Lin, are you still worried about the evil cultivators killing people and collecting blood?"
Just when his face was full of sorrow, a person came out of the door. He was a monk in yellow robes. This person had a strange appearance, sinister eyes, and a silver mask covering half of his face. He appeared in the middle of the night, invisibly giving people a sense of mystery. A gloomy feeling.
"Brother Chen, you are here."
Seeing the yellow-robed monk, Lin Shan's face lit up with joy. He couldn't hold back his excitement and hurriedly went up to see him.
"I received the summons from Brother Lin a few days ago, and I dared to come immediately."
The yellow-robed monk nodded, sat down unceremoniously, and said: "Brother Lin, you might as well tell me what's going on, which sect of evil cultivators are so rampant, and dare to show up in Brother Lin's Taoist temple." Take blood?"
Mentioning this matter, Lin Shan couldn't help but sigh, and said with a distressed look on his face: "I'm ashamed to say that Lin has never seen that evil cultivator. What kind of skills does this person use, and which sect he belongs to?" Can't tell."
"So, there is no clue about this demon cultivator?" The yellow-robed monk frowned, showing surprise.
"Indeed." Lin Shan nodded with a wry smile.
The yellow-robed monk frowned even more tightly.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said with a surprised look on his face: "Brother Lin knows nothing about the other party's cultivation and origins. This is a bit difficult to handle. You and I can't just sit here and wait."
Lin Shan had a bitter look on his face and said: "That's why Lin had no choice but to invite Brother Chen. Brother Chen is a disciple of Yifan Zhenren of the Lingji Sect. The Lingji Sect is also a well-known righteous sect in the Northern Meridian. When fighting against demons, I think I will know more about the evil cultivators than I do.”
Hearing this compliment, the yellow-robed monk's face glowed.
But he remained calm on the surface and showed his serious face, saying: "Brother Lin, thank you for your praise. It turns out that I have had a lot of dealings with demonic monks, and I know a little about their techniques."
At this point, he paused, showing some strange expression, and then chuckled: "But I'm a little confused. Brother Lin's Mingyue Temple seems to belong to Tianqi's sect. Such a big thing happened in the temple. Brother Lin. Instead of reporting it to Tianqi Sect, I asked for help, which really scares me, Mr. Chen.”
Although Mingyue Temple is in a strange location, anyone with a little bit of status knows that this is a secret sentry set up by Tianqi Sect to spy on news. Now that the temple has been invaded by evil cultivators, there is no movement from Tianqi Sect. Could it be that Tianqi Sect is in a strange location? Qimen didn't take Mingyue Guan into consideration?
After hearing this, Lin Shan's eyes flickered a little, and then he fell silent.
Seeing this expression, the yellow-robed monk secretly smiled, as if he had guessed something. But he did not ask further questions, but waited quietly for Lin Shan to speak. Tianqi Sect is such a large sect, and it stands to reason that it should not be indifferent to everyone under the sect. I am afraid there is something hidden in this.
Lin Shan raised his head, his face always a little gloomy. It was not until a long time later that he seemed to accept his fate. He smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Brother Chen doesn't know something. In our Tianqi Sect, each secret outpost needs to survive independently. In previous years, other than sending people to deliver some necessary supplies, I won’t ask any more questions.”
"Of course, regarding this matter, I will naturally send the news to the sect. However, according to the sect rules, whenever any stronghold asks for help, the difficulty of the incident will be recorded in the Treasure Hall as a task for the disciples to retrieve the treasure. If the disciples are willing I came here only if I took action.”
"What a Tianqi sect. If no one cares about this news, wouldn't Brother Lin's sacrifice in Mingyue Temple be in vain?" The yellow-robed monk heard this and couldn't help but sneered and interrupted, "Brother Lin is working in such a sect, why not switch to another sect?" In our Lingji sect, with Brother Lin’s cultivation, I can’t say that he has a high status in our sect, but the resources within the sect are easily available, so it is worse than dying here for the Tianqi sect.”
Lin Shan was startled, surprised by what the yellow-robed monk said, but he immediately shook his head and said: "Brother Chen's kindness, I accept it with my heart, but Lin was born in Tianqi Sect. If he switches to your sect at this time, he will definitely be killed." Tianqi Sect regards him as a traitor. Not to mention that Lin will be hunted down. This will also implicate Brother Chen and bring him into injustice. Brother Chen can help me this time. I am extremely grateful. Not to be mentioned again.”
He smiled bitterly in his heart, this is the cruelty of the sect. Without strength, he will naturally be treated as an outcast.
Despite this, Tianqi Sect's heritage is still difficult for various sects to match. If he can be re-accepted by the sect, the resources he will receive will not be comparable to that of ordinary sects. This is why Lin Shan remains determined in the face of this difficulty.
Seeing Lin Shan's persistence, the yellow-robed monk stopped talking and said with a raised eyebrow: "Well, since Brother Lin insists on staying in Tianqi Sect, I won't force you, but Brother Lin, don't forget to promise Chen Once you catch the evil cultivator, you will hand over your sect’s ‘Five Elements Yin and Yang True Secret’ cultivation method to me.”
Hearing this, Lin Shan's eyes flashed slightly, but he looked calm on the surface. He smiled and nodded: "Brother Chen, don't worry, Lin should be rewarded for your great help. This is the Five Elements Yin and Yang." Although the "Zhen Jue" is a technique from my school, Brother Chen has been building the foundation for thirty years, so he can naturally master it quickly after practicing it. "
"That's very good."
The yellow-robed monk showed a look of satisfaction. If it wasn't for the Tianqi Sect's set of skills, how could he take the risk to come here.
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Speaking of which, although I really want to get the true secret of your sect, Brother Lin has not yet found out the details of the demonic monk. Even the number of people on the other side is unknown. If the blood is collected, More than one person, even if his cultivation level is higher than that of you and me, then there is nothing I can do for you."
This yellow-robed monk was in the early stages of building a foundation, and he had carefully thought about agreeing to come here to help Lin Shan. If the demonic monk was difficult to deal with, even if the Tianqi Sect's "Five Elements Yin and Yang True Secret" was an advanced technique, he would never You will lose your life for this.
It is not easy to cultivate immortality, and the qualifications of the yellow-robed monks are not very good. It is very rare to be able to build a foundation, so naturally they cherish their lives.
But when Lin Shan heard this, he shook his head with certainty and said: "Brother Chen, don't worry about this. Although the evil cultivator is secretive, I have inspected the corpses whose blood was collected afterwards. Although the other party's methods are ruthless, they can't cast spells." Judging from the level, there should be only one person, and his cultivation is at the peak of the early stage of foundation building, but no more than around the middle stage. If this person shows up, it is not impossible to kill him with the combined efforts of you and me. "
"Really? If that's the case, I'll be relieved."
The yellow-robed monk nodded expressionlessly. As he spoke, he took out an array disk and said, "I have specially prepared a set of array equipment this time. We only need to set up the array here later, and we can put it into place as soon as this person appears." He is trapped in it, and once he is bound by the formation, you and I can wait for the opportunity to take action and capture him in one fell swoop."
Lin Shan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise: "Brother Chen's plan is to let the mantis stalk the cicada with the oriole behind. It's really wonderful. If the evil cultivator appears, he will be caught off guard. But even so, you and I can't Take it lightly, the skills practiced by demonic monks are always sinister and their attack power is stronger, so Brother Chen needs to be careful."
"Brother Lin, don't worry. What I have deployed is an intermediate magic formation, the 'Spiritual Fire Illusion Formation', which can trigger the fire in the center of the earth to destroy enemies. Back then, I used this formation to trap an opponent alive in the middle stage of foundation building. Unless that The evil cultivator of the Demon Dao has a cultivation level above the late stage of Foundation Establishment, otherwise it would be impossible to break this formation," the yellow-robed monk said proudly.
After hearing this, Lin Shan smiled on his face and no longer had any worries in his heart.
He had also heard about the yellow-robed monk who had surpassed his rank to kill the enemy. Otherwise, he would not have risked the risk of teaching his sect's skills by inviting him here. He believed that with this person's presence, he would be able to resolve this crisis.
Of course, if someone in the Tianqi Sect could see this task in the Wuzang Hall and come to help in time, he would not need to take this dangerous risk.
But he knew in his heart that the task of killing evil cultivators was quite difficult, and would most likely be included in the treasures in the inner hall. Since the tasks in the inner hall were more difficult, disciples from all peaks would rather go down the mountain to search for treasures themselves, and rarely go inside. To retrieve the treasure from the palace, he had no choice but to find other ways to save his life.
"Without further delay, Chen immediately set up the magic circle. As long as this person shows up, his death will come."
The yellow-robed monk said something coldly, then shook his hand, and the formation disk immediately flew out.
Then, he kneaded the formula with both hands and punched several magic formulas into the array. He only heard a few harsh "swish" sounds coming from the wind, and several array flags flew out from it, disappearing to various places in the view, invisible. A vague fluctuation shrouded the room, and it would be difficult to detect it unless someone with high spiritual consciousness could detect it.
Seeing this man's skill, Lin Shan was greatly surprised and secretly excited.
After arranging everything, the yellow-robed monk said expressionlessly: "Okay, Brother Lin, the 'Spiritual Fire Illusion Array' has been set up. You should immediately grab a few disciples and throw them into the array to attract the evil spirits." Xiu appears."
"What? Using Guanzhong disciples as bait?"
Lin Shan's heart skipped a beat as he blurted out his voice, never expecting that the other party would come up with such a plan.
"Why, does Brother Lin still feel sorry for a few disciples in the Qi Refining Stage? We monks, as long as it is beneficial to ourselves, what else can't we sacrifice? Brother Lin wants to protect Mingyue Temple, but abandoning a few disciples What does it matter?"
The yellow-robed monk looked indifferent and disapproving.
Lin Shan felt a cold feeling in his heart. This person claimed to be an upright person, but his mind was so vicious. It seemed that there was no difference between the so-called righteous and the devil.
He gritted his teeth and walked outside the house without saying a word.
Only by protecting Mingyue Temple can he have a chance to return to Tianqimen. Not to mention sacrificing a few disciples, he would also capture everyone in the temple as bait, and he would not hesitate.
"Brother Lin, remember to be clean with your hands and feet. Don't let the evil cultivator see that it's our deception. Otherwise, it will be difficult to set up an ambush once the other party is alerted."
Just as he walked out of the door, the cold voice of the yellow-robed monk came from behind.
"Brother Chen, don't worry, Lin will definitely make arrangements for this matter."
A chill flashed in Lin Shan's eyes, and after saying these words, he quickly walked towards the disciple courtyard.
