Lin Qiye originally wanted to ask, but seeing this situation, he had no choice but to give up.
He turned to look at the big clock.
With a wave of his hand, the big clock rose into the sky.
but.
Because he is not the owner of the magic weapon, he cannot directly unlock the trap.
We can only use brute force to take it with us and retreat out of the courtyard together.
'This big bell contains ancient immortal energy and should have nothing to do with evil spirits. I have to find a way to get the guy inside first, and maybe I can get more information.'
Lin Qiye had an idea in his mind.
So he took Gu Yue and his party to inform the villagers of Wuxiang Village that the evil creature had been captured.
At the same time, he also told them that the courtyard had been contaminated and sealed.
He also ordered the villagers to strictly prohibit anyone from approaching.
Afterwards, the group of people took the evil spirit and the big clock back to the tower.
Outside Yingsheng Temple.
People come and go, and the smell of incense is endless.
The surroundings are rich in aura, and the flowers and plants planted near the temple have a rich and extraordinary breath of life, as if they came from the fairy world.
"This...is this a temple dedicated to you?"
After entering Tata Village, the evil spirit being carried by Lin Qiye kept staring, looking very unbelievable.
When they came outside the temple, they even opened their mouths, expressing that they could not accept it.
"This rich spiritual energy is already more powerful than the top-notch Cave Heaven Paradise I have ever seen!"
"And with this incense, even if it's a city god guarding one side, it's nothing more than that, right?"
The evil spirit was amazed.
Chang Shi and Hou Tu on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I'm dumbfounded. Let me tell you, our family is not comparable to ordinary small land."
Recalling that when my group first arrived, they were as shocked as country bumpkins entering the city.
Moreover, the incense and spiritual energy now are much stronger than when they came. They are many times stronger than when they came.
If this doesn't stop those guys who are seeing him for the first time, it can only mean that he is probably the reincarnation of a god from the fairy world.
Step into the backyard of the temple.
The already weak evil spirit, under the pressure of its strong popularity, is about to lose its soul and body and disappear.
Lin Qiye summoned the power of faith to isolate him, which made him feel slightly better.
"You are all standing guard outside, and no one is allowed to come near."
"yes!"
After giving the order to the three demons, Lin Qiye took the evil spirit and the big bell to the hall where he usually preached.
The evil spirit was thrown to the ground casually, with doubts and fear in its eyes.
"I've told you everything you want to know, why are you bringing me here?"
Lin Qiye gave him a joking look.
"Why, are you still afraid of death?"
The evil spirit remained silent.
Is he afraid of death?
Just kidding, that was the deal he made with Lin Qiye at that time.
He said that Lin Qiye wanted to know, and Lin Qiye saved him.
Death is a kind of relief for him, so why should he be afraid of it?
but.
After coming here and seeing the deeper details of Lin Qiye.
There was indeed fear in his heart.
But it was not that he was afraid of death, but that he was afraid of what kind of research Lin Qiye would use him for.
The previous scene of being beaten was still vivid in my mind.
He didn't want to let this guy who was more terrifying than the evil spirit continue to torture him in the future.
Lin Qiye ignored the random speculations in the evil spirit's mind and just placed the big clock in the hall and studied it carefully.
He rang the big bell.
"Can anyone inside hear me?"
A buzzing sound came out, but no response was received.
Lin Qiye pondered slightly.
'It seems that this thing is a self-contained space inside and cannot interact with the outside world. Can it only be broken by force...'
He looked at the big clock and then at his fist.
Immediately, he punched the big clock, causing the whole room to tremble slightly.
The evil spirit on the side was startled.
Staring at Lin Qiye and saying:
"You don't want to forcefully break the Cangxing Bell, do you?"
"What? Isn't it possible?"
Lin Qiye raised his fist again as he spoke.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
Every time a punch landed, the big clock trembled violently.
A roar sounded.
If it weren't for the isolation circle set up in the courtyard, the entire Tata Village might have been able to hear the loud ringing of the bell.
The evil spirit was horrified, but he muttered disdainfully:
"What a madman. This is the Cangxing Bell. Even the leader of our organization can't hurt it at all. You, you, want to smash it open?"
Although he lost part of his memory and forgot who the holder of the Cangxing Bell was, he still remembered the power of the Cangxing Bell quite clearly.
"Click!"
Just when the evil spirit was waiting to see Lin Qiye deflated, a cracking sound suddenly sounded.
The hall instantly became quiet.
Lin Qiye stopped moving, while the evil spirit froze on the spot.
Looking at the big clock, my jaw almost hit the ground.
Broken?
The big bell that couldn't be damaged even by the leader of their organization who was at the peak of the god transformation stage was actually blasted with cracks?
Is this guy an immortal-level being?
The evil spirit's heart was beating wildly.
Lin Qiye was also shocked.
However, his surprise was not because of his own strength, but because he discovered that the Cangxing Bell was on the verge of collapse when he blasted out the crack.
It seemed that with one more attack, the entire bell would be destroyed together with the people trapped inside.
"Damn, why can't this thing be beaten so hard? How many times will it collapse?"
According to common sense, when a slightly more powerful magic weapon is slightly damaged.
It will not cause a collapse situation.
But this Cangxing Clock is a bit strange.
Lin Qiye felt that it was a pretty good treasure, but it only had a crack and seemed to be damaged.
The situation is indeed somewhat abnormal.
Just when he was doubting, the Cangxing Bell suddenly trembled.
A dazzling white light flashed, and a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the hall.
The man stood in front of the Cangxing Bell, wearing a blue robe and holding a silver sword.
His face was full of anger and fear.
"Asshole! I'll fight you!"
Before Lin Qiye and the evil spirit could figure out what was going on, the man in green robe raised his long sword and charged straight at the evil spirit.
The evil spirit was horrified.
He is now seriously injured and unable to dodge.
Lin Qiye on the side snorted coldly, and appeared in front of the evil spirit in a flash.
At the same time, he raised his right hand and easily grasped the long sword thrust in front of his eyes.
"Calm down!"
He exerted a little force, and the sword held by the man in green robe was instantly thrown out of his hand.
For Lin Qiye, the evil spirit may still have some useful information for him.
Therefore, it was certainly impossible for him to watch the evil spirit being killed in front of him.
the other side.
After losing his weapon, the man in green robe noticed that the person blocking him was actually a petite baby soul.
There is no spiritual energy fluctuation in the soul, and it seems that there is no cultivation level.
But the strong sense of oppression clearly shows that he definitely has extremely terrifying power.
The man in green robe calmed down.
Realizing that this was no longer the manor, he couldn't help but look at Lin Qiye warily and said:
"Who are you? Why do you want to protect him?"
Seeing that Lin Qiye was exuding a peaceful aura, he concluded that he was not an evil spirit that had fallen into the evil realm.
It's just that he doesn't understand his behavior of protecting evil spirits.
"Don't be nervous, I am the local guardian spirit. As for him, he has been subdued by me and will no longer be harmful."
Seeing that the green-robed man calmed down, Lin Qiye handed the sword back to him.
The man in green robe secretly looked at Lin Qiye.
Make judgments quickly.
This guy's strength is unfathomable, there is no need to lie to me.
He put away his sword, glanced at the evil spirit behind Lin Qiye, cupped his fists and saluted him:
"Thank you for your help, sir."
Lin Qiye nodded, casually summoned a futon, and motioned for him to sit down.
"No need to be polite. Sit down. I want to find out something from you."
The green-robed man hesitated slightly, but soon sat down cross-legged. When he saw Lin Qiye, he said directly:
"Excuse me, sir, as long as it does not involve matters that are taboo in our religion, I will tell you everything I know."
Sectarian taboo?
Lin Qiye nodded slightly.
It seems that this man in green robe is similar to that evil spirit, both belong to a special sect.
"First tell me your name and origin."
In order to deeply understand the power situation in this world, Lin Qiye could only start from the most detailed issues.
"Sir, my name is Luo Xiaobei, and I am a disciple from the Cult of Killing."
Having said this, Luo Xiaobei glanced at the evil spirit.
When the latter heard this name, he trembled slightly, as if he was about to remember something, but soon showed pain.
"You know him?"
Lin Qiye glanced at the evil spirit lightly and looked at Luo Xiaobei.
Luo Xiaobei nodded, looking at the evil spirit with complicated eyes.
"I come from the same family as him. He is my senior brother, nicknamed the Butcher, and one of the few elite disciples in the sect. But that is all in the past."
Lin Qiye was a little surprised. He didn't expect that these two guys were actually brothers.
"You mean he later joined other forces?"
Luo Xiaobei shook his head slightly, looked at the evil spirit and said:
"No, I mean he was from the same family as me when he was alive, but now..."
When he said this, there was a hint of pain and resentment in his eyes.
Lin Qiye didn't know what happened in the middle, but suddenly remembered what he heard from the villagers of Wuxiang Village before.
After they discovered that there was an evil spirit in the courtyard, they immediately reported it to the government, and the government also invited three mages to come over.
However, the evil spirits were so powerful that after the three mages entered, they never came out again.
When Lin Qiye and the others went over to check, they only found the bodies of two Taoist priests.
Then the one left should be Luo Xiaobei in front of him.
"There were three of you working together before, and then he killed two of you?"
"yes."
Luo Xiaobei lowered his head, looking very painful.
His voice trembled slightly as he slowly talked about what happened before.
"We found him right after we entered the courtyard. A Tong tried to purify his evil spirit and resentment, but he suddenly attacked him. Brother Lei rushed to rescue him, but he was no match for him."
"But I...I relied on the Cangxing Bell to survive..."
Luo Xiaobei clenched his fists tighter, and his nails dug deeply into his palms.
The words of the two brothers shouting in desperate situation seemed to be echoing in his ears.
"Xiao Bei, run away!"
"Ah! Run away quickly!"
Lin Qiye was silent after hearing this.
He could feel that the two people who died must have been very close to Luo Xiaobei.
When the evil spirits on the side heard these words, they gradually recalled what had happened before.
His eyes suddenly widened and he looked towards Luo Xiaobei.
I wanted to say something, but I kept my mouth open and couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
Luo Xiaobei lowered his head and did not notice his actions. He just gritted his teeth and tried not to let his tears fall.
Lin Qiye did not ask further questions and gave him time to relax.
a long time.
Luo Xiaobei took a deep breath and then said:
"I relied on the sealing ability of the Cangxing Bell to lock myself in it."
"The Cangxing Bell is an immortal magic weapon. Even those at the peak of the divine transformation stage will never be able to harm it at all."
"But what I didn't expect was that he used some means to slowly start to eat away at the inscriptions on the Cangxing Clock!"
"I want to stop it, but no matter what methods I use, it has no effect at all."
"Later, just when I was about to give up, the encroaching power suddenly disappeared."
Luo Xiaobei looked frightened when he mentioned the power that eroded the Cangxing Bell inscription.
He took a breath and continued:
"After that, it was silent for a while, and I didn't dare to come out to check. Until just now, the Cangxing Bell was attacked again, and because the inscription was corroded, it could no longer withstand it, began to have gaps, and was about to collapse."
"I have no choice but to show up. Sir, you will know what happens next."
After listening to this, Lin Qiye indeed understood a lot of things.
'No wonder the big clock was about to break after I just smashed it a few times. It turned out that it had already suffered serious damage before.'
Lin Qiye looked at the evil spirit with a painful look on his face and shook his head slightly.
This guy called the Butcher killed two friends of his junior brother.
I really don’t know if he can face it in the future.
Now even if he doesn't kill him, his junior brother probably won't let him go.
"My Lord's life-saving grace will be unforgettable by me! After this incident is over and I report back to the head, I will definitely resign from my position and become a slave under Your Majesty's seat to repay my kindness!"
Luo Xiaobei suddenly stood up and knelt down in front of Lin Qiye.
He kowtowed three times in a row.
"Please promise, sir, that after the villain comes back, you can hand over the evil spirit to the villain to deal with it!"
Luo Xiaobei's eyes were full of resentment and determination.
Lin Qiye sighed softly after seeing this.
"Get up."
He could tell that Luo Xiaobei's so-called repaying kindness as a slave was not really because he saved him.
But he wanted to deal with the evil spirit with his own hands.
Being a slave is the price of exchange.
"It can be seen that your relationship with those two fellow Taoists is extraordinary. But..."
Lin Qiye looked at Luo Xiaobei, his expression suddenly became serious, and he pointed at the evil spirit and said:
"If I tell you that he has been purified by me and has regained his consciousness, are you sure you will still do that?"
Regained sanity?
These words were like a bolt from the blue.
Luo Xiaobei felt his head buzzing.
He immediately turned his head to look at the evil spirit, and the look of resentment in his eyes began to flicker.
Before hearing what Lin Qiye said.
He can take action without hesitation and kill the evil spirit.
But now, Lin Qiye actually told him that the senior brother had been corroded by resentment and turned into an evil spirit.
He was actually purified by him and regained his sanity?
So is this ethereal figure in front of him his senior brother, or the murderer of his friend?
