Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 464 The Statue of Bai Yu

Seeing the empty cave in the mountain and the corpses there, it is basically certain that this is the White Tiger Secret Realm. Ma Yi'ao looked around and was careful, while I asked the little monk: "Since there is such a Why didn't you bring it out sooner?"

I admire the miraculous method of the little monk just now. Compared with the tough methods of playing with guns and sticks, I am more yearning for things like mantras, spells and magic strikes.

After all, these are what I don't have, and they are very difficult to understand.

In a sense, this is the ability of a real practitioner and the ultimate mystery of power expression.

Of course, this also involves an eternal philosophical question, that is, whether there is a god in this world.

At the end of science is theology.

The little monk rubbed his head, and then said: "If I said these things, I didn't understand them before, but I suddenly remembered them, would you think that I am not telling the truth, but lying?"

Ma Yi'ao said calmly: "Everything is possible in this world."

His attitude made the little monk very comfortable, and then he explained to us: "As I said just now, I was really touched by the scene, as if there was a switch. When I saw this scene, my master automatically appeared in my mind." Taught me all kinds of methods, and before that, I don't even have any memory at all..."

Hearing his words, Ma Yi'ao and I couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little startled.

If the little monk hadn't lied, then this would be interesting.

It is very likely that he was hypnotized by his master, and there is no way to awaken such a method until a certain time.

However, how did the master of the little monk know that we would encounter such a situation?

Think about it carefully, that old monk is really unfathomable.

Now I'm beginning to believe the little monk's words. The so-called "No. [-] master in Kunlun Mountains" may not just be the Xuefeng Temple's self-indulgence.

It's very likely true.

The current situation is already a mess, and with the addition of an old monk from Xuefeng Temple, the matter is even more complicated, but we have no time to explore in depth, because we have already entered this cave and arrived at that one. Come to the heap of dead bodies.

There were more than a dozen dead bodies lying on the ground.

Judging from the scene, these people should not have died for a long time, the blood on the ground is still flowing, and I can even feel the residual heat from the dead bodies.

However, because of our previous experience, we didn't get close at the first time, but looked at the edge, cautiously, guarding against possible crises next to us, so as not to be ambushed again.

But after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

And during this period of time, I have taken a rough look at all these people, and found that a small half of the corpses on the ground are the gang of men in black who chased and killed us just now, while other guys in sackcloth and animal skins, Have never seen it.

As for the members of the scientific expedition team, there was none.

Ma Yi'ao walked in the front, came to the edge, and lifted the hat of one of them with his foot, and I recognized that person immediately.

This man is called Meng Ning, and he is the Nightcrawler of Echo Valley, that is, Ronan Village. He was once captured by me and used to exchange prisoners with the enemy, so I still have a deep impression on this guy.

But at this moment, he was lying on the ground, with a bloody wound on his chest, as if scratched by some kind of wild animal, and his expression was extremely painful.

His eyes were still closed, I looked at his protruding eyeballs, and knew that he was in extreme panic before he died.

What happened?
Ma Yi'ao checked the other people's wounds again, pondered for a while, and then said: "The two groups of people should be fighting at first, but then something suddenly broke in and broke the balanced situation all at once. People died here, and the rest of the party hurriedly evacuated..."

He was talking, and the young monk next to him let out a low cry.

I turned my head and saw him wipe the sticky slurry somewhere on the ground with the sole of his shoe, and black smoke came out from the sole of his shoe, corroding a small piece of the sole of his shoe.

Ma Yi'ao came over and asked, "Are you all right?"

The little monk shook his head and said it was all right, but be careful, there may be fierce and violent monsters here.

I frowned, what is called a monster?
Only then did the little monk remember my identity as a night walker, and quickly explained: "I'm not talking about a night walker, but... how should I put it, this kind of thing is also called a 'devil beast', it is a creature that has been corroded by the evil spirit of the earth for many years. , but there are no dead beasts. Both the body and the mind of this creature have been severely distorted and mutated. They have been dominated by the will of the demon, and have become slaves of the evil earth demon. They are close to demons, but they have no demon boss Such a huge power, so it is called a monster, a ghost, or an unintentional one."

Ma Yi'ao nodded and said that I've heard of this before. When my master was in the northwest frontier, he met a leopard mutated, a monster, and swallowed up an entire village. It was very terrifying.

I was a little horrified, saying there are also here?

The little monk nodded and said that judging from the current situation, there should be.

I looked around and found that there was nothing in this hall except corpses and a pile of messy stones, and there was a passage on the left and right, so I asked: "Then what should we do now, where should we go? , or right."

Ma Yi'ao pointed to the left and said let's go here.

The little monk was a little puzzled, and asked why, there were traces on both sides, it seemed that it was very scattered at that time, why did we go to the left?
Ma Yi'ao laughed, saying that it's just a habit. My master once told me that the left side of the road is auspicious, and the right side is dangerous.

Uh……

Well, since he said so, we stopped thinking about it and walked forward cautiously.

The passage is neither wide nor narrow, and it can accommodate three people. It is surrounded by rocks with traces of excavation, and there is a corpse lying in the middle. We only walked through it after we were sure that we were dead.

After walking for more than 50 meters, the front suddenly opened up, but it was a spacious space, and this cave is very wide, almost the size of two basketball courts, and the height also varies from two to three feet. The edges are shorter and the middle is the tallest. , On the edge of the mountain wall, an oil lamp was actually lit, and the dark yellow flame was not too big or too small, beating erratically, showing that the air inside was circulating.

When we walked in here, the first thing we saw when we looked up was a white jade statue about two feet high.

The stone statue stood at the most important position, with a half-meter-high pedestal underneath, and the white jade statue was a beautiful woman in palace attire, with the charm of a young woman and the innocence of a girl, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a tall bun, a bit It's like the Dunhuang Flying Apsaras I saw in books when I was in school, but the sculpture technique is more realistic, and it feels like a living real person standing in front of me.

Not only that, I looked at the white jade statue, and found that there was always an indescribable sense of familiarity between the brows and eyes.

But at this time, the little monk said: "This, it seems to be Teacher Zhang Jie when he was young."

what?
The little monk's words were like a flash of lightning, tearing apart the chaos in my mind at once. I looked again and found that the eyebrows, the face, especially the expression in the eyes, were actually the same as Teacher Zhang Jie. exactly the same.

Is it...

Ma Yi'ao looked at me, and said in a deep voice, "I said why Zhang Jie is so familiar with this place. It turns out that this is her home."

I couldn't help asking: "If that's the case, why did she become Zhang Jie again?"

Ma Yi'ao shook his head, saying that it's hard to say, no matter it is from Buddhism, Taoism, or shamanism, there are too many sayings to divert consciousness, so no one knows what is going on now.

As soon as the words fell, the little monk suddenly said: "Here."

He pointed in the direction of the white jade statue's fingers and said, "I sensed that they are here."

He took the lead and came to the edge of the mountain wall. There was a hidden crevice here, which was so narrow that only one person could walk sideways. After walking a dozen steps, he turned around and found that he had come to a scorching space. The red light was shining brightly, it turned out to be a pool of molten lava, and above the pool, a round stone ball with a diameter of seven or eight meters was suspended.

There are suspension bridges on both sides of the sphere, connecting the mountain wall, and there are actually a group of people on it.

I saw Captain Peng, Tang Dao, and other people who were separated from us.

"Team Peng!"

There is a scorching hot breath in this place, which must be the secret of the warmth of spring in the White Tiger Secret Realm, and besides us, there is no one else, so Ma Yi'ao directly opened his mouth and shouted.

The distance between us was only about ten meters, but the people squatting or lying on the stone ball seemed to be far away and couldn't hear them at all.

The little monk was a little anxious, and walked up the wooden suspension bridge, ready to go to pick him up, but at this moment Tang Dao turned his head, looked towards us, then waved his hands, and shouted anxiously: "Don't come, don't come ..."

He seemed to be roaring with all his strength, but I could only hear the sound of mosquitoes buzzing.

Obviously, there seems to be some kind of soundproof circle between us.

But at this time, the little monk's foot had already stepped on the plank of the suspension bridge connecting the stone ball. Before he could move forward, the stone ball that was originally in balance suddenly swayed, and everyone on it shouted loudly. Captain Peng, who was half squatting, also fell to the ground subconsciously.

The stone ball drooped downwards, almost submerged in the tumbling magma.

But at the moment when it was about to touch the bottom, the suspension bridges on both sides jumped again, and the crowd waited, also bounced up with the stone ball, and let out a scream: "Ah..."
