After listening to Tiamat's description, Xia Yanzhen said.
"Yes, but it must have been quite a long time ago. Only this centenarian has some memory." Tiamat said.
What the Peach Blossom Spring brings to the old man is not comfort and peace, but more fear.
Only when I heard "Peach Blossom Spring" did it stimulate my sleeping memories, would I scare myself to death.
Perhaps, there is still special power in this dusty memory.
Otherwise, people may not die.
"It's been too long, so only this old man remembers it."
Xia Yanzhen thought, "No, there should be someone who has experienced what happened back then."
"Faming?" Tiamat also thought of it.
"That's right, Monk Faming is no younger than this old man."
Xia Yanzhen said.
Warriors do not live long, but monks live long, and Fa Ming is the truly oldest elder in Yuhang City.
But he is a monk. Monks who live to be more than a hundred years old are not considered very powerful. Only ordinary people are very powerful.
"There has been no movement at Jinshan Temple. Let's go there." Xia Yanzhen motioned to Tiamat to re-cover the coffin.
After a while, Xia Yanzhen left Yizhuang and asked the coachman to go back by himself.
He is going to Jinshan Temple.
The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain again.
Jinshan Temple is still very popular.
Even if it is going to rain, the worst thing is to stay in the temple for a while and worship Buddha more.
Generally speaking, heavy rain does not last long.
When Xia Yanzhen arrived at Jinshan Temple, several welcoming monks immediately came to greet him with smiles on their faces.
This person is a distinguished guest of their Jinshan Temple.
There is also a gap between donors and donors.
"Where is Master Faming?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"Abbott him...donor Xia, please come with us."
The welcoming monk did not say anything directly, but took Xia Yanzhen to the quiet meditation room at the back.
After a while, a monk who looked much older than Fa Ming arrived.
This is the Elder Jinchi of Jinshan Temple.
"Donor Xia, may I ask what you and your uncle said that day?" After Jin Chi arrived, he spoke first without waiting for Xia Yanzhen to ask.
"I asked Master to do me a favor, but so far there has been no movement." Xia Yanzhen said, "Where is Master Faming?"
Jin Chi's expression was not very good, and his tone was unkind: "What are you busy with?"
"You haven't answered me yet, where is Faming?" Xia Yanzhen's tone became less polite.
"Donor Xia, answer my question first. As for Abbot Faming, when he is willing to see you, of course -" Before Jin Chi could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud noise.
"You took the money and didn't do anything."
Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand and smashed the wall of the room. He stood up and looked down at Jin Chi, "It seems that I am too talkative and you don't respect me enough."
This time it fell on Jin Chi. Xia Yan was really afraid of beating him to death, so he retreated and did the next best thing.
Seeing Xia Yanzhen flicking his hand, the solid wall of the room broke apart, and Jin Chi suddenly became nervous: "Donor Xia, I advise you not to mess around. This is Jinshan Temple, and we are not easy to mess with."
"Really? Then from now on, there will be no Jinshan Temple."
Xia Yanzhen raised his hand, already planning to take out Qingyun and demolish the temple.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook and the house shook.
"The earth dragon turns over?!"
Jin Chi was shocked, and with agility that was not befitting his age, he ducked under the table.
"wrong."
Xia Yanzhen looked in one direction.
That is the backyard of Jinshan Temple, the site of this ancient temple that has stood for hundreds of years and the location of the Demon-Conquering Pagoda.
The source of the vibration comes from over there!
The vibrations slowly subsided, and other than making tables and chairs shake and some things falling, there was no major impact.
However, this room was first touched by Xia Yanzhen and then "repaired" by the vibration. It was already a little shaky.
"Faming went to the Demon-Conquering Tower?" Xia Yanzhen looked at Jinchi and asked.
"..."
Jin Chi's expression changed a little, and he also looked at where the Demon-Conquering Tower was, "That's right. After donor Xia and his uncle met that day, his uncle went to the Demon-Conquering Tower not long after, and he hasn't come out yet."
"So, you don't know how to help me?"
"What's the matter?" Jin Chi was confused.
Faming didn't tell them before entering the tower, so they didn't know.
"What the boat gang is doing is looking for a paradise." Xia Yanzhen said.
"We don't know." Jin Chi exclaimed.
Fa Ming did not come out after entering the Demon-Conquering Tower. Jin Chi, as the second-in-command, was very worried and had no idea that the Xia Donor had an agreement with the abbot.
At the same time, it was further proved that it was really an accident that Fa Ming entered the Demon-Conquering Tower but did not come out.
Otherwise, he will definitely explain the matter.
I was probably just going in to take a look, but I didn't expect that I was trapped inside due to an accident.
If he didn't come out, he wouldn't be able to ask Jinshan Temple to help him find the Peach Blossom Spring.
Taking money and not doing anything is a misunderstanding.
Jin Chi also knew why Xia Shi took the initiative to shout and kill him. It turned out that he was here to question him.
Explain quickly.
Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!
"That's right."
After listening to Jin Chi's words, Xia Yanzhen's lingering evil spirit subsided, "What's going on in the Demon-Conquering Tower? What kind of monsters are locked up?"
"have no idea."
Jin Chi shook his head, "Only Uncle Fa Ming has entered the Demon-Conquering Tower, and no one else can enter. There is a strong evil spirit inside, and ordinary people will get seriously ill if they go in. There are some monks guarding the outside."
Even if you are a warrior, you will not be able to bear it if you are not a good practitioner.
The warrior monks at Jinshan Temple are considered strong at best and have some tricks to do something for crops, but they are far from the real warriors who are capable of flying over walls and flying over walls.
"Does your Jinshan Temple have no other monks besides Fa Ming?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"No, how difficult is it to practice? Not to mention Jinshan Temple, even in the entire Yuhang realm, we only know two monks." Jin Chi said.
One is Fa Ming, and the other is a master from a certain academy. He cultivates the aura of a scholar. Although he is righteous and immune to ghosts and monsters, he cannot be beaten.
"Does the general manager of the temple know about the situation of the Demon-Conquering Tower?" Xia Yanzhen asked again.
Jin Chi still shook his head.
The Demon-Conquering Pagoda is a building on the former site of Jinshan Temple and is older than Jinchi.
Jinchi is the "second generation" under Faming. Besides Faming, he is the largest in Jinshan Temple.
He doesn't even understand the Demon-Conquering Tower, let alone others.
"Then what's the use of you?" Xia Yanzhen shook his head, and as expected he still wanted to go in on his own.
As if he was worried that the next sentence would be "Just die, you useless old thing", Jin Chi suddenly remembered: "There is someone! There is someone who may know about the situation of the Demon-Conquering Tower."
"who?"
"The leader of the Boat Gang, he and the abbot are old friends. They often sit and talk about Taoism. Maybe he even went into the Demon-Conquering Tower." Jin Chi said.
"They never told me this."
Xia Yanzhen didn't know that Gu Taihe and Faming were friends.
But that's normal. How could he tell a mysterious person like him about the relationship?
Gu Taihe and Fa Ming are not children. They play together for a while, they are life and death friends, and they talk about everything.
"Then remember to tell Gu Taihe that something happened to Fa Ming." Xia Yanzhen turned and left.
Let’s go to the Demon-Conquering Tower to investigate first.
Xia Yanzhen left, and Jin Chi came out from under the table.
Fa Ming has not come out for a long time. If there is no movement in a few days, they will also ask Gu Taihe.
The Demon-Conquering Tower is easy to find. It is a black stone tower about fifty meters high.
There is no wooden structure, as if it was cast in one piece.
Except for a stone door that opens and closes, there are no extra doors or windows.
This is a "prison", so why do we need so many doors and windows?
Unlike humans, monsters need sunlight and air, otherwise they will die.
Besides, by locking the monsters in the Demon-Conquering Tower, we don't expect them to continue to live.
Dead and pulled.
After years of baptism, the outside of the Demon-Conquering Tower is stained.
The stone door was opened and closed tightly.
A little ahead, two monks were lying on the ground, unconscious.
They are responsible for guarding the Demon-Conquering Tower to prevent pilgrims or other monks from deliberately entering by accident - it is impossible to be careless.
The stone door is so thick that most people cannot push it open.
"You stay."
Xia Yanzhen asked Tiamat to stay outside, pushed open the stone door and walked into the Demon-Conquering Tower.
A stale atmosphere filled and exuded.
It was not completely dark inside, there were torches and candles burning on the walls.
Xia Yanzhen took a torch and walked up the steps.
The ground floor is empty, with nothing worth exploring.
It's just the third floor, the third floor...
Xia Yanzhen went all the way up, and everything was deserted. The only things there were some chains on the walls, as well as bones and old blood stains.
The bones are not the bones of monsters (animals), but human bones.
The Demon-Conquering Tower is actually more in line with the name.
"It's not above. It seems to be underground."
Xia Yanzhen returned to the bottom floor again, raised his right foot, and was about to step down.
"stop!"
There was a loud shout outside, and a stream of black light came straight towards Xia Yanzhen.
Xia Yanzhen's right foot landed on the ground, and without exerting any force, he reached forward to grab it.
A stone was caught and exploded by him.
Gu Taihe rushed into the Demon-Conquering Tower with a gust of wind, almost blowing out the fire on the torches.
"Mr. Xia, what are you doing here?" Gu Taihe stared at Xia Yanzhen with a serious expression.
Xia Yanzhen patted the powder on his hand and said, "I originally came to Jinshan Temple to raise troops to investigate the crime, but in the end..."
"Fa Ming is trapped in the tower?" Gu Taihe asked.
He was not found by someone sent by Jinchi.
Not that fast.
Gu Taihe found something in the old eucalyptus slips and came to Faming to find out.
Before we arrived, Jinshan was shaken inexplicably, like an earth dragon turning over.
When he arrived, he heard from Jin Chi that Xia Shiyi had called at his door and went to the Demon-Conquering Tower, so he hurried over immediately.
"Yes, so I didn't even look for the Peach Blossom Spring." Xia Yanzhen said.
"Mr. Xia, tell me truthfully, where is the Peach Blossom Spring?" Gu Taihe asked.
"I don't know, that's why I'm searching. I think Master Faming may know something, but he hid it from us." Xia Yanzhen said, "You have an old relationship with him, so you should know better than me."
"...I found this in the eucalyptus library."
After being silent for a while, Gu Taihe put his hand into his arms, and then his expression changed, "Fuck me!"
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yanzhen asked.
Gu Taihe took out some scraps of paper with an ugly expression on his face: "I just tried hard and it shattered."
He opened his clothes and shook out a large pile of scraps of paper.
It can be seen that these fragments seem to form a painting?
"In Yuhang City, something happened once. The water overflowed the Jinshan Mountain and almost swallowed the entire city." Gu Taihe could only explain.
