Starting from the recovery of Shanhaijing

Chapter 114
In the streets and alleys shrouded in night, slender tentacles like mycelium stick out, huge spherical bodies crawl across houses like octopuses, foamy eyeballs peek at the scene inside the house, catch a glimpse of the Sandu Buddha statue, turn suddenly, and lock on to the only bright light ahead. Illuminated pagoda.

You hour has passed.

Jingjiang Town once again entered an active period of evil spirits.

As the Ghost Festival approaches, the deterrent power of the pagoda will inevitably be weakened.

Hundreds of tentacles knotted together, turned into a slingshot and ejected the main body, wrapped in wind and rain, and went straight to the pagoda. Before reaching it, the tentacles on the side opened and slapped forward, trying to smash the outer wall of the pagoda.

But in the next second, the flames burst into flames, and a wisp of gray-white mist burst out, breaking through the rain curtain and piercing through the strange torso, followed by a spell seal, sealing all its actions, despite the gray-white mist destroying it It's all alive.

When falling in mid-air, the last scene seen by the bloody eyeballs was a strange head not far from the side rushing up to the second floor, only to be chopped into pieces by a dark blue light on the spot.
"Counting what I killed, this is already the tenth."

With the Shuofeng sword back in its sheath, Yan Jing stepped on the outer eaves of the second floor of the pagoda and walked around to the window on the other side. Yu Ke and Yu Zhen were standing in the corridor.

Zhao Qianwu was on the other side, holding a long stick around his arms, with bandages wrapped around his shirtless upper body.

It has been an hour and a half since Yan Jing and Yu Zhen received the signal bomb, and the pagoda has been subjected to strange shocks one after another, but the frequency seems to be a bit wrong.

At first, Yu Ke thought it was He Jianbing who brought two evil spirits to make a surprise attack, so she chose to release the signal flare and urgently called for help.

Unexpectedly, when the other two arrived, they discovered that there was only one strange head, and they were killed before they rushed into the pagoda.

Facts have proved that the suppression effect of the pagoda on evil spirits and weirdness still exists.

"For nearly three hours, these monsters didn't even organize a decent attack. They were all sporadic raids. What are they trying to do?"

The bong lightly knocked on the window frame to clear out the soot inside. Yu Ke frowned, feeling more and more weird.

"I set up a few induction circles around in the morning, but I haven't found any aura similar to He Bo's until now. Xiu Nu and Chi Tong don't seem to be nearby, and He Jianbing is also missing."

Yu Zhen lifted the seal and reminded from the side,

"Maybe it's just a spontaneous attack by the weirdos. After all, the pagoda has suppressed them for so many years."

"Spontaneous. No, I don't think it is spontaneous. What the pagoda really suppresses should be the three-headed evil spirits that escaped from here. The other ones were generated in Jingjiang Town or invaded from the outside, and they were not affected. Big."

Crouching halfway by the window, Yan Jing looked at the corpse of the monster that had already started to melt, and said in a deep voice,
"Even if you can't hold it back, it must be that Xiu Nu and Chi Tong are doing it. Why are these guys impatient?"

You must know that the Ghost Festival will be two hours away, and the environment in Jingjiang Town will be more suitable for these monsters to act. It is undoubtedly unreasonable for them to riot at this time.

"There is also a possibility that they were appointed by He Jianbing or the other two evil spirits to interfere with our actions and trap us in the pagoda in this way!"

Although Zhao Qianwu was injured, but relying on the medicine prepared in advance, his mind was still clear,
"I didn't participate in the battle just now. I roughly calculated the time when these evil spirits appeared. Without exception, they were all separated by ten to twenty minutes. You should have noticed that their strength is not strong, but this kind of offensive has completely delayed us. In the pagoda."

After the words fell, the other three nodded in unison.

The monsters that appeared tonight may look scary in appearance, but their real strength is only average, which can be solved without using special methods.

But it is precisely these guys who are similar to cannon fodder, so that they have not only not rested until now, but also tense up all the time.

Don't forget, fighting with evil spirits and weirdness can make their [Wisdom Erosion] status continue to deepen!
However, they really can't leave the pagoda at will now. The environment in Jingjiang Town at night is extremely bad. Walking around with Zhao Ganwu, who has not recovered from his serious injury, is to give He Jianbing a chance. If this is a trap, they will step on it on their own initiative. idiot.

Cutting flesh with a blunt knife is the most troublesome.

"He Jianbing should have come up with this poisonous plan. If he stays in the pagoda, he will have to endure constant harassment from evil spirits, and he will not be able to interfere with his current plan. If he leaves, he may enter his ambush, and he will be in a dilemma."

Yan Jing raised his hand to press down the bamboo hat, the bloody gown shook the rain from his body, paused for a while, but there was not much worry on his face, and then said,

"Fortunately, we are also preparing, and we are not afraid of him delaying time in this way."

Now that I think about it, I took Yu Zhen away in the evening and now it has become a means of breaking the situation.

The Dharma altar on Wu Qi's side is under preparation, and it's a good thing that Xie Chong's attention is here now. It's nothing more than the two sides gaining momentum, and tomorrow's game will be decided.

bang bang!

The sound of cracking tiles.

The few people who were discussing here quickly came back to their senses and turned their heads to look inside the pagoda.

I saw a strange looking like a skinned vicious dog roaring at the window at the other end, probably smashing the window at the other end of the second floor of the pagoda while they were discussing what happened tonight.

Yan Jing turned into the window and saw it rushing straight to the Buddha carver below from a height.

"Stop it!"

Zhao Qianwu jumped down from the side of the corridor while shouting.

A wisp of gray-white mist rose from the bong in Yu Ke's hand, and Yu Zhen also hurriedly formed a seal.

However, when several people unanimously tried to save the Buddha carver, the latter didn't panic at all, and didn't even move his footsteps, just continued to carve the Sandu Buddha with his head down.

In the next second, an invisible wave of air suddenly gushed out from the Buddha statue, and it was strange that it was ignited in mid-air.

The Buddha statue that was originally sitting in the lobby is showing amazing power at this moment!
The raging flames burned every inch of Weird's torso, and when it landed on the ground, it had already turned into a scorched black corpse, with only a few outlines barely visible.

When the few people who had just rushed to the vicinity saw this scene, even Yan Jing's eyes were filled with surprise.

Although it was known before that the Buddha statue's suppressive effect on evil spirits, this is undoubtedly the first time it has shown its power, and this is under the premise that its internal vows are almost exhausted.

No wonder they were able to forcibly suppress the three evil spirits back then.

Zhao Qianwu and others came forward to inquire about the situation of the monks, and by the way, inquired about the operation of the Buddha statue to prepare for tomorrow.

Yan Jing turned around and walked to the corpse on the ground.

The weird corpse has been scorched into charcoal by the flames. Judging by the orientation of its head, it seems that it was still staring at the position of the Buddha carver before death.

Just want to kill him?
No matter what, the Buddha statue still retained some power, which undoubtedly relieved Yan Jing and the others.

At least you don't have to worry about some evil spirit sneaking in to do internal damage.

Tomorrow can help them for a while.

As time goes by, evil spirits or strange things still appear outside the pagoda.

The situation is just as Zhao Ganwu speculated, the number of these monsters is not large, and each time there is a period of time, so they have to stay awake.

At first, the four of them took turns to watch the night, but in the end both Zhao Qianwu and Yu Zhen were asked to rest.

The former needs time to recover from his injuries, while the latter has to set up the sealing array tomorrow, which also takes a lot of effort.

Rather than letting them stay up all night, Yan Jing and Yu Ke are better off. Both of them are taking the path of physical strengthening, and staying up all night will not affect much of their combat power.

So in the middle of the night, Yan Jing and Yu Ke each guarded one side of the pagoda.

Relying on the legacy of the Tiger Flood Dragon, Yan Jing, whose strength has been improved in the storm, is very secure, and even has more room to continue reading Buddhist scriptures to pass the time.

However, as midnight approached, Yan Jing still withdrew from the eaves outside the pagoda to the corridor.

Last night at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, there was an outbreak of the state of [Wisdom Eclipse], which made people dizzy, and today they faced off against two evil spirits, and Yan Jing's situation worsened, so naturally he had to be careful.

What makes Yan Jing a little strange is that Xie Chong's attack seems to end because midnight is approaching.

It stands to reason that at this time, the evil spirits should become more active.
The monster's offensive stopped abruptly.

It was difficult for Yan Jing to find out the reason for a while, so she simply withdrew first to take this opportunity to rest.

The flame on the oil wick flickered, and the bright yellow light shone on the dial.

The second hand gradually turns to the number 12.

Hu Ying was behind the window gnawing at the monster that Yan Jing had just hunted.

As a Zerg, this guy seems to be able to take two bites of anything that can move.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Jing put down the Buddhist scriptures, crossed his legs and closed his eyes, preparing to forcibly overcome the abnormal state caused by wisdom erosion.

clang~ clang~ clang~
The expected confusion of thinking and tingling in the brain did not appear, replaced by melodious bells coming from nowhere.

Yan Jing suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked to the window sill, and opened the wooden window that had just been closed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the window was opened, a silvery white moonlight mixed with wind and rain fell on Yan Jing's face.

How can there be a moon at this time?

Yan Jing's expression froze, and he looked up immediately, and saw a full moon hanging high in the sky, and around it, there were still dense black clouds, and the wind and rain continued.

It's just that the raindrops floating all over the sky have become "light rain" at this moment, making the whole night sky look a little more sacred.

It's just that this state didn't last long, and some red and yellow light spots soon appeared on the surface of the bright moon, and under it, many strange phenomena emerged out of thin air.

A majestic city tower fell from the night sky towards Jingjiang Town, with black and white lanterns hanging on it, and there were even shadows on the top of the tower, as if ghost soldiers and ghosts were guarding it.

In the area where the city tower is located, all the buildings, streets and alleys are illuminated brightly, and there is no evil or weirdness at all.

At this moment, Yan Jing suddenly realized why the monster's offensive stopped suddenly.

They are powerful, but the period around midnight is when the Ghost Festival begins.

Another powerful force has manifested into the world.

July fourteenth.

The magistrate pardons the crime, and the gate of hell is wide open!
