Chapter 266 Entering the Phoenix Temple for the First Time
Xiaoye was overjoyed when he heard that. No matter how capable you are, it is always good to have more than one person helping you. However, these Taoist priests are not very good at it. He said hurriedly: "I am the one sent from above. My name is Xiaoye. Thank you so much, Taoist priest, for your help."
.”
"It's my duty to destroy demons, so why should I say thank you to the little benefactor?" Qingzhenzi said politely, "It's just that it's been a day since the benefactor came here early in the morning. I wonder if he has found anything?"
Xiaoye shrugged and said: "This monster is very cunning. It locked the surroundings of Phoenix Temple with strange fog. I walked back to the same place several times without being able to get out.
I originally wanted to use my superpower to break out of the formation, but my superpower was too overbearing and might destroy the entire forest, so I hesitated and waited.
I thought that the demon would appear automatically after nightfall, but unexpectedly the demon did not come, but instead the Taoist Master and Disciple arrived."
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Qingzhenzi looked a little surprised and said: "It seems that this monster has some abilities. But why does the donor also know supernatural powers?"
Xiaoye smiled and said: "Since the Taoist priest is a fellow Taoist, I will not hide it from the Taoist priest. In fact, I am a member of the Zhongnanhai bodyguard and I was ordered to come to handle the case."
Qingzhenzi suddenly realized: "Oh, that's it. How disrespectful. It turns out that the donor is actually a master of Zhongnanhai bodyguards."
Xiaoye smiled and said: "Taoist priest, you're welcome. I only know combat powers, but I'm not good at the spells in powers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been blinded just now."
Just as he was talking, the strange thick fog that had dissipated just now suddenly and quietly spread up from all around, like a huge white shroud that instantly enveloped the entire forest tightly.
Xiaoye smiled bitterly and shrugged, "Look, it's here again."
Qingzhenzi suddenly laughed and said: "Since Donor Xiaoye is also a fellow Taoist, then the Taoist will respectfully call him a Taoist friend. This little trouble is not worth mentioning. Let the Taoist handle it."
Xiao Ye was immediately overjoyed, "Then I'll have you, Taoist Priest."
The Qing Zhenzi shook the copper bell and shouted: "The golden bell vibrates and the evil things are dispersed!"
In the long sound of the word "San", Qingzhenzi waved the whisk with his right hand at the copper bell, and the copper bell suddenly rang, shooting out thousands of dazzling golden lights.
Wherever the golden light passed, the strange fog immediately dissipated, and was expelled without a trace in just a short moment.
Xiaoye couldn't help but praise, "Good!"
Several Xiaodao's eyes also lit up, with a look of satisfaction on their faces, "Wow, Master is so awesome."
Qing Zhenzi bowed politely and said, "Haha, these little magic powers make the little donor laugh."
Xiaoye saw that Qingzhenzi was older and should have more experience than him, so he asked politely: "Well, Taoist priest, it's getting late now, which is conducive for the demon to show its power. Do you think you should continue to move forward, or come back tomorrow?"
Qingzhenzi smiled confidently and said: "Little Taoist friend, since you have come to the ghost land, how can you retreat because of the night? Wouldn't this make the evil spirits laugh at you? Why don't we wait for someone to get angry, rush into the Phoenix Temple, and kill him?
Get rid of it."
Xiao Ye is also a young man, and he believes in his skill and courage. He suddenly became competitive and said loudly: "Okay, since the Taoist Master has such ambitions, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. Let's go!"
At that moment, a group of people carefully explored the depths of the dense forest, looking for the spooky Phoenix Temple!
After everyone walked for a while, the sun had completely set.
The howling mountain wind seemed to become more violent at this time, causing the torches in everyone's hands to sway with light and shadow, making people's faces flicker, adding a bit of a strange atmosphere.
Suddenly, Xiaoye frowned because he smelled the smell of rotting flesh, which was disgusting.
Xiaoye looked at Qingzhenzi and said, "Taoist priest, what's this smell?"
"It's the smell of rotting corpses, and there's not just one, there are many!"
Qingzhenzi's face became solemn, and intuitively, he felt that his opponent this time might not be simple.
Xiaoye was shocked and said: "It seems that many people have died here. We should be more careful."
Yu Zhenzi said: "Yes. Everyone, please be careful. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle tonight."
"Yes, Master!"
The few young Taoist priests immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, as if a few monsters with fangs and claws might emerge from the dense forest around them at any time.
Everyone still moved forward, but their steps were more cautious.
Gradually, the smell of rotting corpses became stronger and stronger, and everyone was speechless, because they all just covered their noses with their hands, otherwise they would die from the fumes.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and the space in front of them suddenly became vast.
There was a huge open space in front of him. At this moment, the open space was full of dead people, scattered everywhere.
Under the cold moonlight, these dead people looked like a group of wax figures, with sallow faces. Their eyes were wide open in fear, and their hands were raised to the sky, as if asking for help.
These dead people were basically so rotten that they had no clothes left on them. It was impossible to tell what year or month they died here, and the strong smell of rotting corpses was emanating from their bodies.
Behind this open space, there is an ancient temple covering an area of more than ten acres: yellow tiles, red walls, and a gold-lacquered plaque. However, it is already very dilapidated, and even the gold-lacquered plaque is a bit gray and dim, and is crumbling.
However, you can still vaguely see the large gold-lacquered characters on the plaque, which is Phoenix Temple!
However, the Phoenix Temple at this moment does not look like a solemn and peaceful temple at all. Instead, it looks like a ghostly underworld.
In an instant, everyone's footsteps stopped involuntarily. The firelight reflected everyone's faces, and their hair was a little dull, and a thin layer of cold sweat was rapidly oozing out on their foreheads.
Qing Zhenzi's face was a little complicated, "They are all mummies. Some of them may have been dead for hundreds of years, but they have not completely corrupted yet. I don't know why."
However, no one replied.
Qing Zhenzi turned around and looked at his disciples. Several young men were obviously not in good condition. Some were sweating profusely on their foreheads, while others were pale and felt like vomiting.
"Buddha of Infinite Life." Qingzhenzi announced the Taoist name and said solemnly: "Disciples, we are here to conquer demons and eliminate demons, and we regard life and death as a matter of course. How can we be afraid? Don't panic, follow closely as your master.
"
Several young Taoist priests looked a little ashamed, "Yes. Master!"
Xiaoye was not scared at this time, but felt a little disgusted. Anyone who saw so many ugly corpses would probably feel this way.
Xiao Ye calmed down and said with a solemn expression, "Taoist Priest, the atmosphere here is too weird. I'm afraid the temple is also extremely dangerous."
There was a hint of murderous intent in Qingzhenzi's voice, "Yes, but since we are here, there is no reason to back down. Fellow Daoist Xiaoye, let's go and meet these evil spirits."
Indeed, looking at so many people who died here, you know that the hands of the demons in Phoenix Temple must be covered in blood.
"good!"
Xiaoye nodded, looking extremely alert. If anything happened, the terrifying flames would erupt in an instant, burning the attacker into charcoal.
Everyone carefully walked through the corpses on the ground and approached the Phoenix Temple.
Gradually, everyone approached the temple gate and found that the gate of Phoenix Temple was covered with thick dust, and the door was covered with cobwebs, making it look lifeless.
Xiaoye was about to step forward and push the door open, but Qingzhenzi stopped him and shook his head slightly.
While Xiaoye was astonished, Qingzhenzi suddenly raised his fly whisk and said loudly: "Buddha Amitayus, listen to the evil spirits in the temple. You are waiting to kill and poke all living beings. Your sins are serious. If you don't quickly find your way back, you will be captured without mercy!"
After the words were spoken, there was dead silence for a long time, and the only response was the cold sound of the wind.
Xiaoye couldn't help but shrugged and joked, these monsters have killed so many people, they must be extremely vicious people, how could they accept death just by listening to a few words from you.
Qing Zhenzi frowned and waved his hand: "Disciples, come forward and push the door open."
"Yes, Master!"
Several young Taoist priests took courage and stepped forward to push the door open.
Unexpectedly, despite all the effort, the temple door did not move at all, which surprised both Xiaoye and Qingzhenzi.
Xiaoye said: "Taoist Master, let me do it."
Qingzhenzi looked at Xiaoye and wanted to know how capable he was, "Okay, disciples, please step aside."
Several young Taoist priests retreated, and Xiaoye stepped forward quickly, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he punched out.
The fierce fist roared towards the solid temple door, and when it was about to hit, it suddenly spurted out blazing flames.
"boom!"
In an earth-shaking loud noise, the hard temple door was instantly shattered and burned in the dazzling flames. It was burned to ashes before it even hit the ground.
Under the horrified gazes of Qingzhenzi and other young Taoist priests, Xiaoye Shiran clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Taoist Qingzhenzi, please!"
"Fellow Taoist Xiaoye is indeed a master." Qingzhenzi looked admiring, "Disciples, let's go!"
Several people walked toward the temple door one by one. Suddenly, a rotten smell that had been accumulated for countless years mixed with a sharp dark wind blew out from the temple, covering everyone in an instant.
For a moment, everyone's faces turned green and white, and everyone hurriedly held their breath, almost being smoked to death.
Finally, the dark wind passed.
With the light of the torch restored, everyone began to look at the situation inside the temple gate, but in the end they all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Here is a large hall, and the ground is still full of mummies lying in various directions.
Some were so rotten that their skeletons were exposed, and they still looked like they were struggling in life. Some were so painful that they looked up at the sky and stretched out their hands as if to catch something. Some were clutching their throats tightly, looking horrified, as if
It's like seeing a ghost.
In front of everyone was a Buddha statue, a brass statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
However, due to being left unattended for many years, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue was covered with green patina, which mixed with its own yellow color to form a strange color, and even the face that should have been kind and majestic became ferocious and terrifying.
It is as if this is a Bodhisattva, but the King of Hell.
Seeing such a tragic scene, even Xiaoye, who thought he was brave, couldn't help secretly swallowing his saliva, and his heart started beating wildly.
"Wow!"
Finally, the little Taoist priests couldn't hold it back, and they all bent down and vomited wildly for a while, and some even vomited so much that they almost broke out in bile sweat.
It seems that these little Taoist priests are all new and have never seen the world at all.
"Buddha Infinite Life!" Qingzhenzi shouted in dissatisfaction and loudly said: "Stand up straight for me, look at your bearlike appearance."
The master's authority was so severe that several young Taoist priests were frightened, straightened up and calmed themselves down.
Qingzhenzi nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Bring the yellow paper!"
"Yes, Master!" A young Taoist priest handed Yu Zhenzi a small satchel.
Qingzhenzi took it, slung it on his body, stretched out his hand and took out a few pieces of yellow paper, threw it into the sky, and murmured: "It is safe for people to die, don't stay, it will harm yourself and others, the Buddha of Infinite Life!"
Looking at the yellow paper flying in the air, Xiaoye shook his head: Can this be useful?
Suddenly, he saw what seemed to be a staircase behind the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue, with red carvings and patterns, leading straight to the second floor.
Xiaoye said: "Taoist Master, where are the stairs? Let's go and have a look."
Qing Zhenzi strode forward while spreading the yellow paper, taking the lead to go upstairs, "Well, usually the coffins in Yizhuang are parked on the second floor. Disciples, follow me as master."
Xiaoye and several little Taoist priests then climbed up the stairs, climbing uneasily to the second floor while stepping on the ancient stairs that creaked and squeaked as if they might break at any time.
As soon as they reached the second floor, everyone was immediately stunned again.
There were actually two torches lit on the second floor, but the light from the torches turned out to be a pale green, like a will-o'-the-wisp in the underworld, which made everyone in Xiaoye's faces turn livid.
Under the swaying green firelight, there were countless lifeless coffins, parked one after another on the wide floor.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura that only exists in hell came to my face.
Qingzhenzi suddenly shouted loudly, which shook the whole country, "Evil devil, if you haven't shown up until now, when will you wait?"
Suddenly, there was a rushing sound around everyone, which seemed very scary in the dead of night.
Xiaoye was shocked. When he took a closer look, he saw that all the coffins on the second floor were shaking, as if there was an evil spirit in each coffin that had just woken up after sleeping for hundreds of years.
It seems that these evil spirits cannot bear the eternal confinement in the dark world and are restlessly trying to break out of the coffin.
Gradually, dead black ghost claws stretched out from the coffin, and then desperately pushed the coffin lid to one side, and the long nails kept scratching on the coffin lid, making a weird "clicking" sound.
sound.
Qingzhenzi suddenly looked scary and said: "It's zombies. There are many zombies. Now we are in trouble."
When several young Taoist priests saw how huge the enemy's lineup was, they couldn't help but panic, "Master, what should I do?"
At this moment, Xiaoye suddenly sneered, I thought they were some great people, but they turned out to be just zombies. Come on, you can't be more powerful than Mao Zhan, right?
Suddenly, "Boom! Boom!" There was a loud noise, and coffin lids flew out violently.
Immediately afterwards, countless zombies stood up straight from the coffin lid, staring viciously at Xiaoye and everyone with their dead eyes, and their blood-colored fangs exuded cold murderous intent.
Xiaoye quickly scanned it with his eyes and immediately judged how powerful the zombie was.
Most of the people here are purple zombies, with purple bodies and purple hair. There are more than ten white zombies with extremely thin bodies, white faces and white hair. Four green zombies have green faces and green hair hanging down over their shoulders.
Sure enough, there were no zombies, but there were hundreds of zombies.
The attack power of this scale is truly terrifying. No wonder this forest has become a notoriously forbidden area over the years.
It turns out there are so many demons hiding there.
