As he spoke, Wu Nan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he actually started to cry softly.
Lin Ji felt more and more that something was wrong, and had some ominous premonitions in his heart.
"What happened to you?"
Wu Nan shook his head and pointed at his chest.
"I heard the cry. The cry reached my ears and fell on my heart. I could feel it."
Lin Ji frowned tightly.
"I practiced the Six Senses Returning to Origin Technique, and my five senses are far superior to ordinary people, but I didn't hear anything."
"I don't know why." Wu Nan replied.
Lin Ji asked again: "Have you been here before?"
"No..." Wu Nan said hesitantly, "I don't remember it anyway."
"Besides crying, what else did you hear?"
"There are only cries..." Wu Nan replied.
Lin Ji thought for a moment and said: "Steady your mind, maybe something is causing trouble. Since there is no other reaction, don't pay attention to it."
After saying that, Lin Ji looked at the difficulty of understanding for a moment, and then continued to move forward with some thoughts.
After walking for about a few hundred meters, the downward path came to an end, and the front suddenly became clear.
It was a spacious underground tunnel, but it branched into two different passages.
The passage was dark, and the occasional sound of water drops falling on the ground could be heard clearly.
The ground beneath my feet was shaking faintly.
"Which way?" Lin Ji looked at Wu Nan.
"right."
"Okay." Wu Nan said without any hesitation.
Lin Ji nodded, and the two walked into the passage on the right together.
After a while, there was another fork in the road.
"Go to the right." Wu Nan didn't wait for Lin Ji to ask, and spoke again, "Donor, the crying is getting louder and louder."
"Besides the crying?"
"There was only crying, but the young monk felt extremely uncomfortable." Wu Nan said somewhat dullly.
Lin Ji had no choice but to continue to move forward.
After walking for a while, some footsteps suddenly appeared in front of me.
The owner of the footsteps also noticed Lin Ji, and the footsteps immediately disappeared.
"Who is it?!" A cold female voice sounded.
In front of Lin Ji was a corner with a faint flicker of firelight.
He thought the voice was somewhat familiar.
"Are those in front of you a colleague from Supervisor Tiansi? I took the Lingge message and came to support you."
Lin Ji took a few steps faster and led Wu Nan around the corner.
Soon, he saw a man and a woman holding torches.
When he saw the graceful female monk, his eyes widened with great surprise.
"why you?!"
"Lin Ji?!"
That female monk was none other than Lu Zhaoer.
When she and Lin Ji parted ways in the capital, she said she would have to break through the fifth realm before she could leave.
Unexpectedly, after half a year, the two of them would meet under such circumstances.
At this moment, the man next to Lu Zhaoer suddenly asked: "Zhaoer, do you recognize him?"
"He is the Lin Ji I told you about." Lu Zhaoer said, and then introduced Lin Ji, "This is Guan Zhengyang Guan Youxing."
Lin Ji looked at Guan Zhengyang, only to find that something unnatural flashed in his eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
"I've met Brother Lin." Guan Zhengyang cupped his hands.
"You're welcome." Lin Ji returned the courtesy and asked, "I came under the order of Mr. Fang. He said you are here to find something. What are you looking for? Do you have any idea?"
Lu Zhaoer was about to speak after hearing this, but Guan Zhengyang was the first to say: "I hope Brother Lin Haihan, this matter is confidential and cannot be disclosed."
Lu Zhaoer on the side said puzzledly: "Lin Ji was sent by Mr. Fang. He needs help this time. Is there anything that cannot be disclosed?"
"Zhao'er, he is an outsider." Guan Zhengyang frowned and said in a more serious tone.
Hearing this, Lin Ji suddenly raised his eyebrows, with a somewhat sarcastic smile in his eyes.
Lu Zhaoer frowned and said: "Guan Youxing, to me, you are an outsider. I said before, don't call me so close. We are just colleagues, nothing more."
Most of Guan Zhengyang's face suddenly fell.
Lu Zhaoer said to Lin Ji: "There is a Buddha statue half a man tall hidden here. We are here to find the Buddha statue."
"Another Buddha statue?" Lin Ji was shocked.
Not long ago, when he was in Lanye Temple, he was told to bring back a half-human-tall Buddha statue.
He remembered clearly that when he was about to take away the Buddha statue, the idea of alaya consciousness appeared in his heart again.
Lin Ji suddenly became wary at the thought of possibly dealing with the Tantric Bodhisattva again.
But at this moment, Wu Nan suddenly spoke.
"Almsgiver Lin." Wu Nan closed his eyes tightly, with some pain on his face and his whole body trembling, "Something is coming."
"What?" Lin Ji was about to ask.
At this moment, the ground suddenly shook violently.
It was the sound of footsteps. Every time footsteps sounded, it would cause the cave to tremble.
A strong wind swept from the depths of the cave, accompanied by a nauseating smell of flesh and blood.
"Be careful!" Lu Zhaoer shouted.
After she finished speaking, the tremor suddenly disappeared.
Everything around him suddenly became extremely quiet, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Lin Ji's consciousness was widened, and his soul also made the appearance of drawing a sword in his mind.
Suddenly, his consciousness stirred slightly.
As soon as his foot hit the ground, he flew out and pushed Lu Zhaoer away.
And in Lu Zhaoer's puzzled gaze, a big hand made of flesh and blood, without even skin, suddenly appeared where she was before.
clang!
Lin Ji's evil-killing sword just happened to block the big hand that appeared inexplicably, but then, the hand turned over and clenched tightly, directly grabbing Lin Ji's sword edge.
"you again..."
The voice sounded directly from the bottom of my heart.
The owner of the big hand also appeared.
It was a humanoid monster, its whole body made of flesh and blood, except for its head, which was a skeleton, and its eye sockets were filled with deep darkness.
Seeing the skull head, Lin Ji immediately realized that the monster in front of him was the skeleton that escaped outside Jade City.
But what shocked him even more was that this skeleton could actually transmit sounds from the soul!
This means that it already has a soul, and it is definitely not the monster outside Yucheng that only relies on its own strength and weird methods to attack.
At this moment, Guan Zhengyang on the side suddenly took action.
He first looked at Lin Ji with some resentment, then drew his sword and rushed towards the monster.
"Don't come over!" Lin Ji's eyes widened and he quickly warned.
But Guan Zhengyang turned a deaf ear.
"Even if you can block it, I can certainly kill this monster!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Zhengyang was already approaching, but before he could take action, a skeleton hand appeared in front of him.
puff.
When no one reacted, the sharp skeletal fingers stabbed directly through Guan Zhengyang's chest.
The monster didn't even look at him, but looked at Lin Ji quietly.
For a moment, Lin Ji felt like he was sweating all over his body.
