Back then, the Master of the White Bone Temple took away the false relic elixir from the Master of the Yaksha Sect, and hid it in the mountains to practice in seclusion.
Later, Xu Dao instigated the attack in the capital city of Wu, causing the Dangyaotang to send Taoists to test it several times, but all failed, and many troops were lost.
Although there has not been much movement in White Bone Temple in recent years, and its reputation has not been obvious, which surprised Xu Dao. But he will not forget that he came out of White Bone Mountain.
Thinking of the White Bone Temple Master, Xu Dao immediately thought of the two tactics of "driving away wolves and devouring tigers" and "driving trouble to the east". Although there was no guarantee that this plan would succeed, they had no other choice at the moment.
So he immediately shared his thoughts with others.
"Who is the Master of White Bone Temple? I've never heard of him."
When Zhuang Bufan and others heard the words "White Bone Temple Master", they were a little startled. They didn't know who the other person was. But when they heard that the other person had probably formed a pill, their eyes immediately showed a solemn look.
"In addition to the Dao Palace, there are such people in the Wu Kingdom?"
"There are such powerful guys in this southwest region! I am so ignorant."
Xu Dao was not impressed by their reaction. The southwest was remote and information was not available, and for some reason, the imperial court and the Dao Palace always ignored the southwest boundary intentionally or unintentionally. It was not surprising that several people on the same ship did not know.
After understanding Xu Dao's thoughts clearly and before he could persuade him, Zhuang Bufan said without hesitation: "In that case, what are we waiting for? Fellow Taoist, hurry up and show the way. Run over and pay homage to the mountain gate first!"
Others also nodded: "Yes.", "I think it's feasible!"
So Xu Dao stopped talking. He looked at the sky to identify the direction. He immediately found the southwest direction, then pointed and shouted: "Go this way!"
Buzz!
The building boat, which was originally flying around like a headless fly, immediately spun around and then rushed to the southwest. The bloody demon chasing behind it also let out bursts of roars and chased after it.
For several days in a row, Xu Dao and the others struggled with the bloody demon. Although they were not defeated, they still could not kill the opponent.
Fortunately, as we get closer to the southwest boundary, the population of the villages and towns we pass along the way becomes smaller and smaller, making it difficult for the blood-light demon to eat people and their souls, increasing its power, which also reduces the pressure on Xu Dao and the others a lot.
In addition, with many Taoist guidance, they also avoided places where loose cultivators might gather, and did not encounter other enemies. However, in this way, the chance of them encountering other Taoist priests also became smaller.
These days.
Xu Dao and others took turns driving the building boat, while those who were resting hurriedly recovered their magic power. After many days, all six people were very tired, especially for Zhuang Bufan, who had no body, and the pressure on his soul was even greater.
Fortunately, the situation did not get worse. While they were tired, the bloody demon who was chasing them became even more depressed.
The madness in the demon's eyes was still there, but the sticky red light on its body was scattered, and its shape was much smaller than it had been a few days ago.
The battle between them has turned into a protracted battle that consumes each other since they left the mortal city. It just depends on which side can't sustain it in the end, or if something unexpected happens, the outcome will immediately change.
But in this fight, although on the surface the demons are chasing Xu Dao and the others, in reality it is Xu Dao and the others who are killing each other, trapping and killing each other.
The most advantageous thing for them is that the demon still doesn't know how to advance or retreat, it is crazy and has never regained consciousness.
This always surprised Xu Dao and them. From time to time, someone would joke on the boat: "After so many days, this guy is still like a beast, and he won't let go. Could it be that the golden elixir Taoist from the outside world is possessing him?"
Something went wrong with your idea?"
Someone else said: "Maybe it's not that the method went awry, but that the other person is so irritable and irritable by nature."
Xu Dao has a different view on this point than others. He is more suspicious that the thoughts of the possessed golden elixir are possessed by demons. Just like the Taoist, when he broke through the foundation building, he was troubled by many demonic thoughts.
General loss of consciousness.
After all, this demon actually likes to feed on living people, eating souls and souls. It is understandable if he becomes a demon from time to time.
But no matter what, precisely because the demon is crazy and doesn't have much reason to speak of, once it follows him to the White Bone Temple, Xu Dao's predicament is likely to be solved.
At that time, even if the Lord of the White Bone Temple feels something is wrong and wants to join forces with the other party to deal with Xu Dao and the others, the demon will probably not agree, but will treat them as enemies as well.
After all, the Master of White Bone Temple has lived for hundreds of years. He is a Taoist born and raised in the Wu Kingdom, and he is not a Taoist from the outside world. He should have no means to communicate with the other party.
Finally, on the evening of the fourth day after leaving the mortal city.
The building boat traveled all the way across mountains and ridges, across rivers, and arrived near a gloomy mountain range.
This mountain range is very broad, with dark trees and dense miasma. From time to time, white snow can be seen lingering on the top of the mountain, which is several thousand feet high.
After seeing this mountain, a Taoist priest immediately said on the boat: "Another mountain range appeared in front of us. The top of the mountain is whiter, and it is dark for hundreds or thousands of miles. It is quite impressive."
Xu Dao, who was meditating and resting, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard these words. He stood up suddenly, his figure flashed, and came to the bow of the ship. He looked at the mountain range in front of everyone, with emotion in his eyes.
.
This mountain range is the mountain range where Baigu Temple is located - Baigu Mountain.
It is said that since leaving White Bone Mountain, this is the second time he has returned to White Bone Mountain to seek help. But I don’t know how the White Bone Temple Master in the mountain is doing. Is he still willing to recognize him as a disciple?
Without thinking too much, Xu Dao nodded immediately in the expectant eyes of others and said: "Fellow Taoists, right in front of you is the White Bone Mountain, which is the dojo of the White Bone Temple. I will go to worship the mountain as soon as possible."
When Zhuang Bufan and others saw that they had arrived at their destination, their faces showed joy, and they shouted: "Great kindness!"
"This place is not easy to find. It took a lot of effort."
So the building boat slightly adjusted its direction, lowered its bow, and pounced straight towards the white-capped mountain top.
Boom! The lingering blood-colored demon is also following behind them. The red light flashes on its body, making it look like the building is pulling a ray of sunset, which is really magical.
In less than half a cup of tea, the building boat landed in the White Bone Mountains.
They did not fly directly over the White Bone Temple. Instead, they flew close to the trees and flew at low altitude. According to Xu Dao's memory, they flew from the bottom up to the top of the mountain where the White Bone Temple was located.
After seeing a vast white mist, the building boat suddenly jumped up and circled outside the mist, and a voice came from it: "May I ask where the Master of the White Bone Temple is? Can you come out of the mountain to talk!"
This was when Zhuang Bufan and others used magic, shouted loudly, and bowed to the top of the mountain. Because he had some quarrel with the Master of White Bone Temple, Xu Dao did not say anything, but restrained his breath and covered his face.
But after several shouts, there was no movement in the mist-shrouded White Bone Temple, except that some birds and beasts outside the mist were frightened.
Everyone on the boat was a little surprised, but while they were shouting, the demon that was biting them caught up with them again, so everyone could only quickly drive the boat and fly away from the White Bone Temple first.
Fortunately, the White Bone Mountain Range is huge, and they only need to circle around the White Bone Mountain Range to continue to sneak the bloody demon back to the White Bone Temple.
When they flew around the White Bone Temple again, the people on the building changed their way of shouting, and said to themselves: "Some people from the Taoist Palace have met the Lord of the White Bone Temple, and we have something important to discuss!"
He also bluffed: "According to the Taoist Master's decree, I have important matters to discuss with the Master of the White Bone Temple. Please come out of the mountain to see the Master!"
But what made everyone a little disappointed was that apart from the sounds of animals and birds, there was no movement at all in the mountains. Even Xu Dao frowned slightly.
The rest of the people looked at Xu Dao and Zhuang Bufan, signaling them to make up their minds quickly.
Among them, Zhuang Bufan did not panic. While he let the building boat continue to circle around the White Bone Mountains, he used his spiritual consciousness to send a message to Xu Dao on the other hand and asked: "Fellow Taoist, did the Master of the White Bone Temple go to other places?"
Xu Dao frowned. He also suspected that the Master of White Bone Temple might not be in the mountain, but apart from Jiangzhou and Sheshan, there were no other places of practice nearby. The former belonged to the imperial court's sphere of influence, while the latter was dilapidated.
If the Master of White Bone Temple really goes out, Xu Dao is not sure where he will go.
Of course, there is another possibility. That guy failed to refine the relics and fake elixir, and has already sat in the White Bone Mountain.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Dao chuckled on his face, and he said directly: "Since knocking on the door does not answer, we can just knock on the door and know if the owner inside is there?"
Xu Daochao offered his hand to Zhuang Bufan: "Brother Dao, please sail directly into this fog. Although there is a large formation inside, the formation is biased toward protection, and there is not much murder potential."
"Okay!" Zhuang Bufan heard this and immediately agreed: "Just listen to fellow Taoist."
Naturally, the other four Taoist priests had no objections and were eager to give it a try.
After all, they only came to worship the mountain on the surface, but in fact they came to divert trouble to the east. Moreover, the people in the Taoist palace have always been arrogant. If the door is not answered, it is not uncommon to break in.
No need for others to remind you.
Zheng! Zheng! There were several sounds of swords and thunder, and Xu Dao and others began to use their magic power, always ready to fight with the people in the mountain.
When the building boat passed the White Bone Temple Formation for the third time, the bow of the boat was facing the billowing white fog, and it swooped down and plunged into it brazenly!
boom!
The air waves rolled, spiritual light emerged, and the thick white mist immediately divided into two lines, retreating continuously inside, revealing a cold and damp scene.
In the meantime, Xu Dao distractedly looked at the scene in the fog, and found that there were no crows flying around, and no ghosts walking around inside. It looked like there had been no one in the Bones for a long time.
He thought to himself: "Hasn't Guanzhong reopened the gate yet?"
When the building boat penetrated nearly a thousand steps, the billowing white mist finally solidified, forming a barrier in an attempt to block the building boat's insertion.
Buzz! A large formation of mist surged up in the mountains, covering the entire mountaintop in the blink of an eye.
Xu Dao and others looked at it in mid-air and found that it looked like a skull, with a sinister air and was very strange.
Seeing this large formation, Xu Dao was not surprised but happy. The presence of this large formation meant that the White Bone Temple was not completely abandoned, and the master of the White Bone Temple was probably still in retreat in the mountains.
Others also understood this truth. When they saw this huge formation of bones, thoughts flashed through their minds: "What a formation! The spiritual energy here is extraordinary. There should be a good spiritual vein. What Taoist Fellow Daoist Xu said must be true.
!”
"What a treasure! That guy named Bones is very lucky!"
Next, everyone shouted in unison: "We have arrived, and we respectfully invite the Master of White Bone Temple to come out of the mountain!"
Boom boom!
While shouting, the building boat also rammed head-on into the formation of bones. The other party did not open the door and just squeezed in. Unfortunately, the formation of bones was tough and no one could break through it for a while.
Moreover, the skull-shaped formation was round and had no weak points at the top or bottom. They could not find any loopholes for a while.
With such an appearance, it is possible that the Master of the White Bone Temple in the mountain saw something was wrong and did not want to meet Xu Dao and the others, so he simply remained silent and pretended to be dead.
Zhuang Bufan and others asked: "Fellow Daoist Xu, is there a way to call out the temple master directly, so as to save us from wasting the spiritual power of the building and the boat, while the demon is still chasing behind the boat?"
Seeing this scene, Xu Dao had no choice but to step out and shout loudly: "Please come out of the mountain!"
He also revealed his identity: "I have rebelled against Taoism and returned to the White Bone Temple. Please come forward and meet me!"
"Please come forward and see me!"
Xu Dao shouted several times, and the sound was deafening, echoing around the entire mountain. But when his words stopped, the formation was still closed tightly, and there was no movement in the mountain.
Everyone was disappointed, looked at each other a few times, and briefly discussed whether to break the formation by force, either to force the opponent to come out, or to use the formation in the mountain to resist the demons behind them.
Quack!
Suddenly, a large array of skull-shaped bones made a roaring sound, and the jaws shook up and down. It seemed as if a will-o'-the-wisp was igniting in the eyes, and he stared at Xu Dao and the others coldly.
And there was a burst of chuckles, the sounds were overlapping and coming from all directions, and no one knew where they were coming from.
"There is movement!" When everyone on the boat saw the movement, they all looked happy and shouted again:
"Master White Bone Temple, we are from the Erhai Dao Palace. We have important matters to seek help from the Temple Master today. Don't refuse."
When Xu Dao heard the chuckle from the mountain, he was first happy and then surprised. He couldn't react for a while. This was because after the chuckle, another voice rang out from the mountain:
"You dare to come back even if you are a traitor to Xu Dao?!"
These words were obviously addressed to Xu Dao, and he was questioning him. But what was different from his own imagination was that this voice turned out to be a female voice!
Before that, Xu Dao had several encounters with the Master of the White Bone Temple. The other party's appearance was in the form of a huge skeleton, ferocious, sinister, ruthless, and powerful. He immediately thought that the other party was insidious and sophisticated.
.
But now that I think about it, it seems that the other person's voice and look are weird. He has always been male and female, and it is impossible to tell whether he is a boy or a girl.
"The Master of White Bone Temple is a woman..."
An idea came to Xu Dao's mind, and he thought for no reason: "Should we call her the 'Mrs. Bones'?"
