In the dim underground space, people could only stand on the stone path with their feet. In the hazy red halo, as the surrounding temperature gradually increased, only Ma Hongjun's figure was left running forward alone.
After getting rid of the dark gold three-headed bat queen, Ma Hongjun did not encounter any other creatures. Along the way, the only sound of his footsteps was in the dim red light.
I don’t know how long it took, but as the stone path got closer and closer to the underground Bloody Mary Lake, the smell of blood, heat, and evil seemed to hit my face.
At this moment, following the bubbling sound of the blood lake under the ground, figures with ferocious faces flew out from the bloody bubbles exploding on the lake surface.
"Ahhh!"
"Oh oh oh!"
"Ho ho ho!"
"Grrrr!"
"Jie Jie Jie!"
"..."
Like ghosts crying and wolves howling, various noisy sounds echoed in the dark underground space with the appearance of these figures.
Ma Hongjun, who was running towards us a thousand meters away, twitched his ears slightly and then unconsciously slowed down his pace.
"what sound?"
Ma Hongjun listened attentively, frowned and said, "It sounds like someone is shouting, but how could there be anyone else in this place besides me?"
Ma Hongjun thought it was impossible, and kept walking forward while being on guard.
You know, he sneaked in, and the road to hell has not yet been opened. Apart from him, how could there be anyone else here.
But for some reason, as these noisy sounds echoed in the dim space, the air in front of Ma Hongjun gradually became hazy and the visibility became lower and lower.
The underground space, which was already hazy with red light, seemed to have raised a layer of blood-colored fog, gradually submerging Ma Hongjun's figure inside.
"Senior Brother Jingguan, why didn't you come to morning class again today?"
Seeing the figure in green robes in front of him, Ma Hongjun was startled. He subconsciously looked out the door and whispered, "What's wrong? Is the master Yun You back?"
"Yes, you and Senior Brother Jingxu were very unlucky this time. When you were doing morning lessons in the morning, the master came back halfway through the morning class. So I am here to inform you that the master asked you and Senior Brother Jingxu to go to the main hall to kneel and offer incense.
." said the Taoist priest in green shirt.
"Kneel down and enjoy the fragrance!"
Ma Hongjun couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the incense that was as thick as an ordinary person's little finger. It could burn for three hours.
"Junior Brother Jingxin, you won't tell the boss that Xiao Zhang and I are not feeling well, so we asked for leave?" Ma Hongjun said helplessly.
The young Taoist said calmly, "Why didn't you say anything? Don't say that our relationship is so good. Just say that because you and Brother Jingxu often tell me the secrets of mind cultivation and explain the meaning of scriptures, I will take care of your affairs."
I don’t dare to touch the lake either.”
"Then why did the head of the household ask me and Xiao Zhang to kneel and offer incense?" Ma Hongjun asked.
Taoist Jingxin smiled and said, "What are you and Senior Brother Jingxu thinking? Doesn't the master still know?"
"I told the boss, but the boss didn't believe me at all. He asked you to kneel down and have breakfast. He said he would take us to the mountains to collect herbs today."
"Okay, Senior Brother Jingxu is already waiting for you in the main hall. You should go quickly. Senior Brother Jingsi and I will make breakfast for everyone."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up. Hearing this, he knew that the master must be in a good mood this time, so he had no intention of letting him and Taoist Jingxu kneel down.
And based on the cooking speed of Taoist Jingxin and Taoist Jingsi, almost an hour is enough, so the ones who are going to kneel this time must just not have the thick and delicate fragrance of tachyon.
Ma Hongjun felt relaxed instantly. For him and Taoist Jingxu who don't like chanting sutras, it has almost become a norm in the Taoist temple to go to the main hall from time to time to kneel down and offer incense to the Patriarch. It's just an hour of incense. It's not too relaxing.
In the Zhenwu Hall, in front of the nearly two-meter-high gilded bronze statue, Ma Hongjun and Taoist Jingxu each had a kneeling mat, kneeling upright under the statue of the Patriarch.
In the empty hall, accompanied by the green smoke of birds and the faint fragrance, the two young Taoists knelt down to offer incense and did not forget to chat at the same time.
Taoist Jingxu, who looked much younger than Ma Hongjun, complained, "Old Ma, you have done me a disservice this time. I shouldn't have come to kneel with you."
Ma Hongjun glanced sideways at the straight young man kneeling next to him, and said angrily, "I didn't call you last night. It's not just you who came running here, shouting that you want to marry this girl."
The young Taoist priest Zhang Jingxu woke up and yawned and said, "That girl cried so sadly. I have been sitting next to you listening to you enlighten her for almost an hour. I really can't bear it."
"After all, I've been with my boyfriend for five or six years. If we break up, it's normal for her to be sad."
Ma Hongjun's mind changed, and he squinted and said, "I don't know you yet, you just like to join in the fun, teh!"
"Old Ma, you can't say that. That girl was crying so much that it even alarmed our old Taoist priest downstairs. Didn't you listen to what he said? Let us persuade this girl." Zhang Jingxu said.
Ma Hongjun said, "Let's break up. After talking so much last night, I think you can see that that kind of person is not worthy of her being so sad for him."
"You're the one who gets into trouble while we're chatting, and even recommends your marriage-reuniting talisman to others. I'm really drunk."
The young Taoist priest Zhang Jingxu chuckled and said, "Isn't it just that I got into it while chatting? I couldn't hold it back for a while."
Soon, the two people who finished chatting about this topic looked around and saw that no one was around. Then they secretly took out their mobile phones, placed them on the sutra in front of them, and opened the recently updated Douluo Continent anime, enjoying it with gusto.
Looked up.
After a while, Taoist Jingxu said with a smile, "Look, Old Ma, Feng Xiaotian's funny nature has been violated again, but I have to say that this guy looks really like you, as well as Ma Hongjun and Oscar.
"
Ma Hongjun snorted, "No, if the eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother, we'd better not make fun of anyone else."
"Look, Dai Mubai from Shrek Academy is so handsome."
"Don't be so crazy about it later that you let it slip."
"Okay, Shrek Academy is a strong enemy, we must go all out, do you understand?"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Hey, you, let me go, why is this woman still a nymphomaniac?"
Taoist Jingxu stared at the screen in front of him and complained with a smile on his face.
Ma Hongjun didn't look back. He stared at the screen in front of him and said indifferently, "I think this Shui Bing'er is pretty good."
"What? Have you fallen in love with someone?" Jingxu Taoist asked.
Ma Hongjun said with a blank expression, "No way? This is not a real person. What's wrong with liking her?"
Taoist Jingxu smiled and said, "So what you mean is that if she were a real person, you wouldn't plan to practice hard on the mountain?"
Ma Hongjun looked confused and said calmly, "I don't know why, but I always feel that Shui Bing'er gives me a very familiar feeling, as if we should know each other, and we are still very close."
The young Taoist priest Zhang Jingxu glanced at Ma Hongjun beside him with a strange expression, and said speechlessly, "No way? Are you really in love with Shui Bing'er?"
"This girl is just average-looking, not as good-looking as the Meng Yiran I like."
Ma Hongjun said, "Xiao Zhang, tell me, Shui Bing'er's situation is the same as Ma Hongjun's. She was also affected by her martial spirit, so she is like this now."
Zhang Jingxu frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? Have you got that inexplicable premonition again?"
"Shui Bing'er's martial spirit hasn't even been aired yet, and you're saying there's something wrong with that martial spirit. Do you know what that martial spirit is?"
"I know, her martial spirit is an ice phoenix!"
Ma Hongjun said subconsciously, and then he was startled. He quickly opened the browser and searched for it, and then he became even more uneasy.
"boom!"
Zhang Jingxu punched Ma Hongjun bitterly and snorted coldly, "We agreed to watch the drama without spoilers. I'll beat you to death for spoilers. If you dare to spoil again, I will break off our friendship with you."
Ma Hongjun quickly shook his head and said, "I didn't give any spoilers. Really, I don't know why. If you don't believe me, look at it. I feel that she is really kind. I should know everything about her, but I just can't remember it."
"Xiao Zhang, you know me best. Every time you have this kind of inexplicable premonition, do you think my prediction was inaccurate that time?"
Zhang Jingxu glanced at the webpage about Shui Bing'er that Ma Hongjun had just opened, frowned and said thoughtfully, "That's true. Then tell me, how do you feel about Shui Bing'er? What did you foresee this time?"
Ma Hongjun smiled bitterly and said, "You may not believe it, but I feel like she is my wife, really."
Zhang Jingxu's face darkened, and she laughed and cursed, "Are you kidding me, Lao Ma? I think you just didn't sleep well last night, so you were hallucinating. This is a character in anime and novels, how could she be your wife?"
"At that time, Tianzun was in the infinite world, looking at all the worlds, like dreams and bubbles, real and illusory. How do you know that Douluo Continent does not exist?" Ma Hongjun retorted.
Zhang Jingxu frowned, and he naturally understood what Ma Hongjun meant, and explained, "As you said, even if Douluo Continent exists, for us, it is illusory and non-existent. It is a heretic and an illusion."
Wait, you should look at it like this."
"I know. It seems that I really didn't sleep well last night, so the telepathy this time belongs to me. Is it overthinking?" Ma Hongjun said.
At the same time, on the screens of their mobile phones, as the final qualifying round of the elite competition of the continent's advanced soul master academy began, a group of girls from Tianshui Academy, led by captain Shui Bing'er, entered the ring.
There was a vigorous dance that shocked the whole audience.
So, Zhang Jingxu started his complaint again, "As expected of the Tian-Shui girl group mentioned on the Internet, good guys, these girls from Tian-Shui Academy didn't play well in the game, and they actually danced. I
go!"
"Yes, if there is more exciting music at this time, maybe these people will be more sensational, right?" Ma Hongjun said.
