It was completely dark, and the gray bird transformed by Zhang Ke still stood motionless on the branch, quietly observing from the tree.
At midnight, Zhang Ke suddenly became energetic, flapped his wings, and disappeared into the night sky.
At the back door of the Taoist temple, two little Taoist priests came out carrying a roll of linen.
Walking slowly towards the cliff, Zhang Ke quietly observed in the dark.
The two little Taoist priests were young, only fifteen or sixteen years old.
A lantern floated above the two of them.
The lantern emits green light, adding a bit of eerie feeling in the dark night.
After walking for a few minutes, we came to the edge of the cliff.
A young Taoist priest clasped his hands together and murmured: "Don't blame me! Don't blame me! Choose a good family in your next life!"
Another little Taoist priest said impatiently: "Hurry up and work, sizzling! It's so cold!!"
The two men carried the two ends of the linen cloth, waved it leisurely for a few times, and then threw the linen cloth into the mountain stream.
Zhang Ke's transformed gray bird flew into the mountain stream closely following the linen.
When we reached the bottom of the mountain stream, we looked around and found many linen packages.
Some have been damaged, revealing bodies inside.
True to what Sun Dewang said, they were all in the shape of mummies, and there were dozens of them.
Zhang Ke flew up again without hesitation, sensing that the two little Taoist priests were far ahead.
He walked around to the two of them and calculated their steps.
Change again, turn into an ant and wait.
I have to say that this is a novel feeling, everything around me becomes extremely huge.
Step by step, every time he stood up and landed, the ground shook endlessly, pressing down like a mountain.
With one step down, Zhang Ke's transformed ant climbed up along the shoes of a Taoist boy.
Climb to the corners and crevices of your clothes and secure your body tightly.
Following the two of them, they entered the backyard of the Taoist temple.
After the two young Taoist priests came in, someone suddenly shouted: "Don't move!"
The two of them stood still when they heard the sound.
A fat Taoist priest with a sinister face circled around the two of them.
Asked: "Is there anything unusual?"
The two men quickly shook their heads. The fat Taoist priest sniffed and said, "It smells strange!"
A little Taoist priest said tremblingly: "Could it be the smell of the man who was carried out just now!"
The fat Taoist priest touched his chin with one hand and sniffed at the two of them.
After thinking for a moment, he said: "Maybe! Cheer up, the master is not in a good mood these days.
We have killed several people in just the past few days. Tomorrow you two will go down the mountain and bring back a few more people."
The two little Taoist priests quickly agreed.
Zhang Ke didn't expect the Taoist temple to be so strict, and was secretly glad that he didn't rush in rashly.
There were people watching in the middle of the night. The fat Taoist priest must have been sent here because he was proficient in investigation.
Following the two Taoist priests into the building, they saw several Taoist priests lying on a big bed, already asleep.
Zhang Ke's transformed ants quietly climbed onto the beam and waited quietly.
He found that this place was much more dangerous than expected, and it seemed a little secretive.
For two days in a row, he remained hidden and learned the general situation of the Taoist temple through the chats of the Taoist priests in the room.
This Taoist temple is called "Chanyi Temple", and the owner of the temple is Taoist Tongyou, who guards the peak of the realm.
He is proficient in summoning spells, can summon ghost soldiers to fight, and has the magic weapon "Tongyue Ring".
He is also proficient in many kinds of magical powers. These little Taoist priests don't know exactly what magical powers they are.
In addition to Taoist Taoist Tongyou, there are also one person in charge of internal and external affairs in the temple.
The steward of the outer courtyard is the fat Taoist priest Jackal.
He looks rude, but is actually extremely shrewd and his methods are vicious and vicious. All the Taoist priests are very afraid of him.
Taoist Jackal's cultivation level is only in the realm of forgetfulness, but his innate magical power "smell the fragrance" is best at tracking and investigating, so he is very popular among Taoist Tongyou.
The other one is the steward of the inner court and a Kun Dao, but no one has seen his true identity.
I've only heard of the existence of such a person, it's very mysterious.
In addition to these three people, there are about a dozen Taoist priests serving as handymen.
They were all kidnapped from the mountains. They usually take care of and maintain the daily life of the Taoist temple, but they basically don't live long.
Because there are often mysterious people who visit the Taoist temple from time to time.
Basically once every three months, every time a guest comes, many Taoist priests will disappear.
This is the thing that all little Taoist priests fear the most.
As for the formations in Taoist temples, many young Taoists know nothing about them.
After Zhang Ke figured out the general situation, he no longer hesitated and decided to take action.
The morning of the third day after entering the Taoist temple.
He transformed into a mouse and quietly explored the entire Taoist temple.
Sure enough, we found that there were formations in many places in the Taoist temple.
He didn't recognize the specific formation.
But it is definitely a trapped formation, which is the worst case scenario.
It is not easy to set up the formation, and it is also difficult to destroy it. There is no absolute strength.
If you want to break the formation, the requirements against the mage are extremely high. Zhang Ke carefully calculated and found only one way.
"Embedded array method" is a method Zhang Ke learned in Fulu Academy.
Moreover, the Academy did not tell how to perform this formation, but only proposed a concept.
That is, in the original formation, the formation is arranged again to connect with it, forming a formation within a formation, in order to compete for the dominance of the formation.
If Zhang Ke hadn't studied "Tianmen Beheading Platform" for many years.
By analogy, I gained some insights, and I didn’t even think about this method.
You must know how to set up a formation within the opponent's formation and how not to alert the people setting up the formation is the most difficult part.
Zhang Ke couldn't do it either, that's why he dared to do it.
He also met Taoist Tongyou in the past two days.
I found that his whole body was full of qi, and he didn't know whether it was because he had reached a critical moment in his practice or there was something wrong with his practice.
A lot of time is spent adjusting to the body every day.
When he enters concentration, he will definitely close the door of the quiet room and ignore the changes that occur outside.
Once the formation is embedded, there may be movement in this process.
This needs to be completed in the shortest time to make the embedded array effective.
The formation that Zhang Ke is preparing to embed is the "Mist Formation".
He is most familiar with this, and after years of research, he now only needs 32 talismans to set up a formation.
He calculated carefully to find the right position and timing for the formation, so he waited patiently.
At noon the next day, many Taoist priests were eating. Taoist Jackal opened the door and walked in, shouting:
"In a few days, Taoist Master Tongyou will entertain fellow Taoists. Tomorrow you will go down the mountain and go to each village to ask for cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. Remember to keep them alive!"
When Taoist Jackal left, a dozen servants burst into tears.
Zhang Ke suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and decided to postpone the attack.
In the next few days, a large number of live animals were brought into the Taoist temple, causing a lot of chaos.
Zhang Ke took the opportunity to conduct a detailed investigation of the Taoist temple.
After careful calculation, Zhang Ke discovered something. The formations in the Taoist temple were somewhat rigid.
He made a bold guess that perhaps this formation was not set up by Taoist Tongyou.
The first day of the twelfth lunar month.
clear.
The handyman Taoist priests were all assigned to work in the kitchen and cook meat.
Zhang Ke secretly sensed that strange people were entering the Taoist temple one after another, and the murderous intention in his heart became more and more serious.
At eight o'clock in the evening, inside the Taoist temple hall, the hall was brightly lit by lamps.
A strong man with a pig's head and a human body, a white-faced scholar with a slender neck, who spat out a forked letter when he opened his mouth.
There are also charming women with multiple arms and so on.
There were about a dozen guests talking loudly and making a lot of noise.
There was a table in front of each person, and there were piles of hot meat, melons and fruits.
Seven handyman Taoist priests fearfully carried the wine and food.
Where are these guests?
They are all obviously monsters. No wonder no Taoist priest can survive the banquet. Taoist Tongyou deserves to die.
Zhang Ke gritted his teeth and waited silently.
About nine o'clock in the evening.
Taoist Tongyou, wearing a new Bagua Taoist robe, led the two people into the main hall with a spring breeze on his face.
Tongyou Taoist looks to be in his thirties.
She has slender eyebrows, a powdered face, and a mole at the corner of her mouth, which ruins her overall image.
At this time, Zheng Zheng kept apologizing and calling her disrespectful and neglectful.
"My fellow Taoists, please forgive me. I have gained a lot from today's evening class. I have been indulging in it for a while. I have been slow to treat you all. I'm sorry!"
The white-faced snake demon hissed and spit out the snake letter.
He said in a sharp voice: "Taoist master has made further progress in his work. This is a good thing. Congratulations!"
After saying this, he raised his hands to express congratulations.
A pig demon with a mouth full of fangs laughed at him: "The sun has risen in the west today, and the thin neck can actually say nice things!"
"Hahaha……!"
"That's right, Slim Neck has always been sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. If you speak like this today, you must be demanding. Boss Tongyou, please be careful!"
Many monsters laughed one after another. The century-old snake monster was not angry, but just stared at the pig monster fiercely.
Taoist Tongyou also chuckled.
"We have gathered together many times and everyone has gained a lot. If you have any treasures, you can show them to each other. As long as the goods are good, the price is not a problem."
After speaking, he winked at the person next to him.
There were two people behind him, one of whom was a Taoist Jackal.
The other female crown is Mrs. Shaoyao, the rather mysterious steward of the inner court in the Taoist temple.
The female crown is very beautiful, with a pink face and a red dress, and the look in the eyes of Tongyou Taoist.
Take out a money bag and tip it outwards.
"Crash!"
Gold and silver talisman coins were poured out like sand.
Under the illumination of lights and candles in the temple, it flashes with dazzling light.
The greed in the eyes of the demons was blazing. If they had not known that Taoist Tongyou was not easy to deal with, they would have snatched it away.
Each took out the exchange items they had prepared and traded with Taoist Tongyou. There were quarrels from time to time.
Zhang Ke transformed into a gray bird and was sensing everything happening inside the palace.
It seems that all the demons are focusing on exchanging treasures.
He quietly flew away from the branches, came to the open space in the atrium of the Taoist temple, and transformed back into his human form.
Without hesitation, he took a long, sharp breath, and the Qi nodes all over his body were connected, and pale golden light appeared everywhere in his body.
His hands bloomed like flowers, and six talisman arrows flew out of his hands and shot toward the center of the formation.
This is the most important step and needs to be connected with the formation in the courtyard.
The "Mist Formation" eye overlaps with the courtyard eye to form a dual-core eye.
He was calculating the formation leyline nodes one by one in his mind.
His feet kept moving, moving his position according to calculations, and talismans were shot out frequently.
He knew that there was not much time. In the past, he had always set up formations when there was enough time.
Now we are racing against time. If we make a slight mistake, disaster will be imminent.
