The night gradually thickened, and after a few melodious bells, the entire Nanguo Temple fell into silence.
Zuo Shisan looked outside the hall, and his left eye began to twitch.
A twitching eyelid is not a good sign. It seems that the abbot of Nanguo Temple will never give up tonight.
Thirteenth left held a candle, dragon and nine phoenixes, and walked to the door of the main hall. He opened his yin and yang eyes in advance and carefully observed the situation outside the main hall door.
Soon Zuo Shisan saw what seemed to be a black figure standing there in the distance.
Zuo Shisan originally wanted to go over and check, but he was afraid of falling into Master Ksitigarbha's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so he turned around and called An Rushuang and Mei Youqian over.
After An Rushuang saw the black figure, she said to Zuo Shisan:
"Thirteen, we can go there together and take a look. Anyway, I don't feel very safe in this hall."
An Rushuang said that she and Zuo Shisan had the same idea at this time, so the three of them left the hall together and walked towards the black figure in the open space opposite.
Soon the three of them came to the figure. At the same time, the bright moon that had been hidden in the clouds "escaped" at this time, and the whole yard instantly became bright.
Through the white moonlight shining down from the sky, Thirteenth Left clearly saw that the person in front of the three of them was not a human being, but a paper figure made of black paper.
This black paper man's face was smeared with red powder, and his hands showed a particularly weird posture, which looked particularly scary in the night.
After Mei Youqian saw this paper man, he quickly said:
"Master, isn't this paper man brought here by Master Ksitigarbha on purpose to scare us?"
Zuo Shisan looked at the paper man and shook his head:
"That's not the case. Master Ksitigarbha knows very well that I come from the Maoshan Dragon and Tiger Sect, let alone a mere paper man. Even if a real ghost comes, it won't scare me."
"Then what does he mean?" Mei Youqian asked again looking at the strange paper man in front of him.
Zuo Shisan did not speak, but walked up to the paper man. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the paper man suddenly moved!
The paper man's head shook, and then he let out a sharp laugh:
"Cackle, cluck..."
Along with this laughter, the paper figure seemed to "come alive" and rushed towards Thirteen Left.
After all, Zuo Shisan was well-informed and had a lot of experience. Faced with such a situation, he reacted immediately. When he saw him taking two quick steps to the left, he randomly turned the candle dragon and nine phoenixes that he had been holding in his right hand toward him. The paper man on the side stabbed hard.
The candle dragon and nine phoenixes instantly pierced the paper man in front of the three people. After a piercing scream, the entire paper man began to spontaneously combust with a bang. Zuo Shisan quickly retreated with An Rushuang and Mei Youqian.
Soon the paper man was completely wrapped by everyone, and then fell to the ground, and was burned into a pile of black ashes in just a few seconds.
As a line of black smoke rose into the sky, the surroundings became silent again.
Zuo Shisan stared at the black ashes on the ground, his doubts deepening. He couldn't figure out what the purpose of Master Ksitigarbha's getting such a paper man was.
The reason why this paper man can laugh and move is because there is a ghost imprisoned in its body. The paper man is controlled by the ghost and has the ability to move.
But this ghost controlling the paper man is just a new ghost without any moral skills. This kind of ghost poses no threat to Zuo Shisan, who has gradually recovered his cultivation.
So Zuo Shisan couldn't understand why Master Ksitigarbha would do this? Is there any hidden mechanism in this?
Thinking of this, Zuo Shisan asked An Rushuang and Mei Youqian to stay where they were before he came to the ashes left by the burning paper figures. He was about to squat down and take a closer look when suddenly a gust of wind blew around him. The ashes on the ground rose into the sky along with the dark wind, immediately surrounding Zuo Thirteen.
At the same time, Zuo Shisan also felt the Yin Qi around him rising rapidly!
Seeing this scene, Zuo Shisan thought to himself: No, I've fallen into a trap!
Even though he was so cautious, he still fell into the trap of the old fox Master Ksitigarbha.
An Rushuang saw Zuo Shisan surrounded by the dark wind and black ashes. Although she was anxious, she had no way to help. At this time, she knew very well that if she rushed to help with her current ability, she would not be able to help. To the thirteenth person on the left, it will inconvenience him and distract him.
So even though An Rushuang was anxious, she still calmed herself down because she believed that Zuo Shisan had the ability to save herself from danger.
Therefore, Zuo Shisan's current cultivation and ability cannot be compared with those at his peak, but she still believes that Zuo Shisan can come to Nanguo Temple to face Master Ksitigarbha, so he must have been prepared for the worst in advance.
At this time, Zuo Shisan, who was surrounded by the evil wind, did not have any panic in his eyes. There was even a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He began to search around with the help of his Yin and Yang eyes. He was not in a hurry to rush out from the siege of the evil wind. He I want to take advantage of the cover of the dark wind to find Master Ksitigarbha hiding in the dark.
But Master Ksitigarbha, this old fox, was far more cunning than Zuo Shisan had expected. He found that even if he had fallen into Master Ksitigarbha's trap, he did not show up, but continued to hide in the distance.
In order to prevent An Rushuang and Mei Youqian from worrying, Zuo Shisan had no choice but to quickly use his left hand to perform the first move of the Dragon and Tiger Seven Pardon Seals, and at the same time whispered in his mouth:
"If the energy is not dissipated, the spirit will be faint. In silence, without thoughts, a yang will arise! Urgency is like a law! Forgive me!"
As the Thirteenth Dragon and Tiger Seal of Seven Amnesties on the Left was played, the Yin Feng and paper figurine ashes surrounding him were instantly dispersed.
The moment all the ashes fell to the ground again, Zuo Shisan keenly caught a trace of Yin Qi rising from the ground and flying quickly towards the backyard of Nanguo Temple.
Zuo Shisan stood there, staring in the direction where the black Yin Qi flew, and thought to himself: It seems that the backyard should be the hiding place of Master Ksitigarbha.
Thinking of this, Zuo Shisan quickly told An Rushuang and Mei Youqian.
So the three of them, led by Zuo Shisan, walked towards the backyard of Nanguo Temple.
On the way to the backyard, they have to pass through an "L" shaped wind and rain corridor. The three of them are walking in the wind and rain corridor. There are yellow-brown lamps hanging in the corridor, and a weak light is emitted through the dusty lampshades. Both sides of the corridor are covered with various plants. The branches and leaves of the plants are intertwined. The night wind blows by, making a rustling sound, like a ghost with teeth and claws. The gloomy atmosphere spreads instantly!
Zuo Thirteen walked in the Feng Shui Corridor, always keeping a yin and yang eye and keeping vigilant.
The three of them walked through the wind and rain corridor and arrived at the backyard. There was no one in the backyard and it was still surprisingly quiet.
"It's strange. You can still see a lot of people in Nanguo Temple during the day, but why can't you see a single person at night?" Jiang Chao sighed as he looked at the empty backyard.
An Rushuang said:
"It's not that there are no people, but they won't go out no matter what happens tonight."
"Yes, since Master Ksitigarbha wants to deal with us, he definitely doesn't want others to see him." Zuo Shisan said, looking across the backyard.
At the end of the backyard, there are five wooden houses, and the one in the middle actually has the lights on.
Seeing this, Zuo Shisan said to An Rushuang and Mei Youqian:
"Come on, since that old fox is waiting for us, let's go over and have a look."
When Zuo Shisan said these words, the attentive An Rushuang saw the powerful yang energy bursting out of him!
