Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Volume 138: : Guangzhi helps me, every sword is a blazing fire

While Eastern and Western cultures differ in their conceptions of spirits and monsters, they also share some commonalities. After all, human imaginations share certain commonalities. For example, combining humans and animals to create a bizarre monster effectively defines a creative framework.

Therefore, Youlan Daier thought Lingxuzi was more like a werewolf, because it seemed to have no intelligence, just a violent beast, and was not as good as the little demons she met on the road. At least those little demons had clear minds and could even chat.

Only Lingxuzi was as violent as a wild beast. Therefore, he was more like a werewolf, while those little demons were more like monsters.

Lingxuzi didn't know that Youlan Dai'er had already classified it as inferior to a little demon in his heart. He just kept making threatening growls and slowly crawled around the empty courtyard, but his scarlet eyes were always locked on the monkey in front of him.

A monkey! It's just a monkey!

Lingxuzi suddenly attacked, kicked the ground with his powerful hind legs, jumped up and rushed towards Youlan Daier.

Youlandel swiftly turned and ran out, stepping onto the temple gate pillar behind her in a few steps, using the momentum to leap into the air, leaving Lingxuzi empty-handed. Seizing the opportunity, she landed behind Lingxuzi and struck the dog hard on the butt with a chop and a swing of the stick.

Lingxuzi felt pain and immediately prepared to use his huge body to turn around and push Youlandel away.

But Yulandel's next move was already ready. She reached out and cast a pinning spell, immobilizing Lingxuzi. Yulandel seized the opportunity to gather momentum with her staff, circled in front of the dog, and swung it with a force that ripped the wind, striking the opponent squarely in the head!

The immobilization spell was broken, and Lingxuzi let out an eardrum-shattering roar of pain. His bestiality surged, and he opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs, ready to charge and bite Youlan Daier.

Youlandel was neither anxious nor flustered. She saw that Lingxuzi had lush white hair, which shone with a strange luster, as if it was the oil on his fur. Suddenly, she came up with an idea.

Transformation, Guangzhi!

The monkey's appearance changed instantly, turning into a wolf-headed monster holding two flaming blades.

Yulandel wielded her double-edged blade, the flames on the blade surging fiercely under her control. Transformed into a vast wisdom, Yulandel dodged Lingxuzi's attack and then cut into his side. The undying flames instantly spread to Lingxuzi through the gaps in his flesh.

The big dog's white fur suddenly caught fire!

Fire was the only way to subdue wild beasts. Lingxuzi's fur ignited, and he began to panic. Yulandel seized the opportunity, wielding the form of Guangzhi and slashing dozens of times. Finally, she transformed back into the Destiny Person, stepped on Lingxuzi's back, leaped up, and smashed his skull with the cudgel.

Such a dignified demon king died in the hands of Youlandel!

"Oh, I really underestimated you!" The Earth God, who had been secretly observing the battle, couldn't help but admire.

"Since you have defeated Lingxuzi, you should search carefully. I heard that the Black Wind King gave Lingxuzi a golden elixir. If you can find it, your trip will not be in vain." The Earth God fulfilled his duties as a guide again and reminded Youlandel.

Golden elixir? Youlan Daier thought about it and felt like she had heard of this thing before. It seemed to be another name for medicine.

Think about those cooling powders you found on the road, maybe they are very advanced things.

Youlan Dai'er didn't say much, but searched the temple and soon found a golden box on the altar. Inside was the golden elixir that Lingxuzi had been rewarded with - the Green Lotus Golden Elixir.

Is this the golden elixir? It doesn't look anything special. Yulandel pinched the golden elixir, which was clearly red in color, looked at it for a moment, and then tossed it into her mouth like she was eating chocolate chips.

Who would have thought that as soon as the golden elixir entered the mouth, it turned into an extremely pure energy and was directly injected into the body.

Yulandel couldn't help but open her eyes wide, surprised by this. She felt that the energy and blood in her body seemed to have become more vigorous.

Is this golden elixir so powerful? She actually felt a little embarrassed because of her previous "judging the elixir by its appearance".

After swallowing the golden elixir, Youlan Daier walked out of the temple. She discovered that the back door of the temple was another land temple. She immediately thought to herself, "Why are you everywhere?"

Seeing that her gaze lingered on the land temple for a while, Wang Xuanqiao guessed what Youlandel was thinking.

"In Chinese mythology, the status of land gods is equivalent to that of grassroots bureaucrats in the realm of gods. It can be said that these land gods are the gods who actually protect the people. While those gods may look majestic, they are in the sky, far away from the people; they are on earth, standing with the people."

After Wang Xuanqiao's explanation, Youlan Daier couldn't help but feel awe. She walked towards the Earth God Temple in the backyard and, for the first time, respectfully lit a stick of incense on the altar.

Although he had defeated the demon king Lingxuzi, he was not the true leader of Black Wind Mountain. Seeing that the game did not seem to stop, Youlan Daier continued to run along the backyard road to the next location.

As she continued to venture deeper into the forest, the surroundings gradually became more and more enigmatic. The monsters scattered throughout the forest gradually became more numerous, with snakes being the most common species, and even a spooky creature made of bones.

Yulandel sincerely disliked this area. Those relatively cute wolf monsters and bird monsters were almost nowhere to be seen. Everywhere were snakes and bones that made one's back shiver. They would even disguise themselves as corpses to launch sneak attacks.

If she hadn't met a living Taoist priest when she first entered this place, she would have thought that she might have come to some kind of dead zone.

It's a pity that the Taoist priest just added something like a blessing to her gourd, and then said that the gourd can now be used to store the essence of salvation. He then stopped caring about it and started to bury his head in writing and painting.

Yulandel originally wanted to invite the Taoist priest to join her, but seeing his condition, she had to give up the idea of forming a team.

Then she plunged into the deep mountains and forests, worshipped the land god, saw coffins, encountered ghosts, and finally ran into a monster leader named Guangmou.

Compared to Guangzhi, Guangmou's words were a little more confusing. What about the immortal bone that could not be obtained? How many people knew it was the path to immortality? Youlan Daier was confused by what she heard, and finally realized that the monster attacked as soon as he finished speaking, which seemed to be a feint to the east and attack in the west.

Yulandel unceremoniously asked him to go see Guangzhi, in every sense of the word.

After defeating Guangmou and absorbing his spirit with the gourd, Youlan Daier discovered that Guangmou also had a bell, and it seemed to be exactly the same as the bell at Guangzhi's place.

Now she was truly curious. The two leaders had an almost identical bell in their respective locations, so they must be guarding this object.

If the clock itself had no value, and was not a device to sound an alarm, why was it guarded at all?

Just knock and you’ll know!

Yulandel's idea was very simple. She grabbed the hammer and hit the old clock hard.

thump—

The sudden ringing of the bell startled the birds in the woods.

The sound of the bell was not melodious. It had neither the solemnity of religion nor the tranquility of spiritual practice. Instead, it brought a vague feeling of panic in the chest.

Strange, this sound, could it be a signal? Youlan Daier frowned.

She listened to the Earth God nagging, saying: This way the King of the Mountain will definitely know she is coming, and then the road will become even more difficult to travel.

But if it got too difficult, would she stop moving? Yulandel certainly didn't think so. She continued forward, fighting as she went. She emerged from the forest into a shallow body of water, where she battled a giant frog. Then, she ventured into a dense bamboo forest, where she battled a mushroom that suddenly transformed into a monster while she was gathering it.

When she emerged from the bamboo forest, she rescued another of her kind and took this opportunity to add new blessings to her gourd.

Only then did Yulandel realize that if the gourd could bring blessings, then the stick in her hand might be able to do so as well.

But who should she find to bless her stick? Yulandel wasn't sure. Perhaps someone like the Taoist priest she'd met earlier, or the monkey she'd just rescued, might be waiting for her along the way as an opportunity.

She continued to run forward, hoping to encounter this opportunity as soon as possible.

After bidding farewell to her compatriots, Yulandel discovered another stretch of water ahead. She had no choice but to continue walking forward through the knee-deep water until another temple appeared before her.

At the same time, a snake spear fell from the sky, and a strange man dressed in white with a purple face.

"Master, it's getting late..."

The man pulled the snake spear out of the water and spun it leisurely in his hand, while the pair of snake eyes on his face stared at Yulandel with a sinister tone.

"You come to my place of self-cultivation and kill people at will. What is your intention?"

——The author has something to say——

Volume 139: : Elder Jinchi, the ghost of the wronged

Yulandel had no intention of paying any attention to the man in front of her.

A place for self-cultivation? Who would cultivate themselves in a place so full of demons and monsters? Oh, he's a monster too, that's all.

Yulandel, who always believed that one should not communicate with the enemy before he fell, simply swung her long stick and took a step towards the man in front of her.

She advanced slowly, one step at a time, adapting herself to the puddle environment as quickly as possible.

"What an impatient person you are." Seeing this, the man laughed, shrugged his shoulders, raised his snake spear and took a step forward.

"Then come on!"

As the voice fell, the man called the Scholar in White suddenly threw the snake spear towards Youlandel, and then followed closely, grabbed the snake spear that was inserted into the water in his hand, and made a spinning back slash, stirring up water splashes all over the sky.

Yulandel immediately rolled forward, broke through the water curtain and the spear blade, and took advantage of the situation to strike the white-clothed scholar in the waist with a long stick.

The scholar in white relied on his body to take the attack head-on, leaving behind a muffled groan, then waved his snake spear, stirring up the pool water, and splashed a large amount of cold light towards Youlandel!

This move was so powerful that Yulandel chose to retreat for the moment. The scholar in white seized the opportunity, leaping forward, his snake spear extended with his arm, like a longbow fully drawn, ready to strike. His spear tip flashed with a cold, emerald light, a chilling sight that made the very sight tremble.

But this is an opportunity.

Yulandel swung her hand and used a spell to freeze the white-robed scholar, who had transformed himself into an arrow. Then she gathered the strength of her staff, dodged behind the immobilized white-robed scholar, leaped up, and smashed the staff into the water!

This immobilization spell is so useful! I wonder if this will be the reward. Yulandel even took the time to mutter to herself.

Before the scholar in white could stand up completely, Youlandel immediately stepped forward, swept his long stick sideways, and knocked him directly in front of the temple gate.

The scholars in white clothes got a chance to catch their breath.

Is the damage starting to get insufficient? Yulandel frowned slightly, longing for some immortal on the road to bless her stick.

"Every move you make is aimed at vital points, and you love to take advantage of people's weaknesses. Little Master, your murderous intent is truly frightening." The scholar in white wiped his mouth with his hand, but there was a hint of surprise in his tone, "Since you are so pressing, don't blame me for revealing my true form!"

After saying this, the aura of the scholar in white suddenly changed. His upper body was still human, but his lower body had transformed into a thick and sturdy snake body.

Yulandel thought that this original appearance did not seem to make much difference, but the next moment she thought of the water snake and was immediately shocked.

As expected, the white-robed scholar, whose snake form supported his upper body, became even more agile in this pool of water. His speed was almost several times faster than when he was in human form, and his strength had also increased significantly.

Caught off guard, Youlandel suffered a loss and had to take a defensive stance and start dealing with the scholar in white.

This monster is obviously different from other monsters! Youlandel thought.

Other monsters are either just humans in monster skins, or pure monsters. But this scholar in white combines the two, bringing out the physical strengths of monsters and the intellectual strengths of humans.

He must be no ordinary monster. Yulandel suddenly began to move her hands.

But—the immobilization technique!

When the scholar in white twisted his snake body and rushed forward again, Yulandel immediately released the immobilization spell.

The white-clad scholar remained in a forward-leaning pose, frozen in place. Yulandel quickly stepped forward, using the momentum of her run-up to lift her staff and leap upward, then brought it down with a powerful blow. One strike pierced his abdomen, the other slammed into his back!

The scholar in white who had escaped from the immobilization spell suddenly felt as if his body was being squeezed back and forth by something hard. He almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Yulandel immediately used her transformation technique, transforming into Guangzhi. She unsheathed her flaming double blades and swung them with a gust of wind. The blazing flames, unlike any ordinary fire, instantly vaporized the lake water, sending up billows of scorching smoke.

With the help of Guangzhi's fire knife, Yulandel completely made up for the damage that the long stick lacked!

The scholar in white was chopped down and retreated repeatedly. Finally, he had to change back into human form and crawl back to the mountain gate.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that Youlandel was about to chase the enemy, the scholar in white clothes hurriedly raised his hand and spoke out to stop her.

No wait. Yulandel pretended not to hear and continued to chase after him with her stick raised.

The scholar in white was stunned for a moment, wondering why this monkey had such a strong desire to kill. Could he really be here for revenge? But he didn't dare to delay and quickly added, "I'm an insider! An insider!"

Yulandel then stopped and looked at the man in front of her with some confusion.

The scholar in white finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, still in shock.

"My eldest brother asked me to come here as an insider, so I pretended to obey the bear and guarded the important road behind the mountain."

"Who is your elder brother?" Yulandel, who rarely spoke, finally asked.

"I can't tell you, but I have something to tell you." The scholar in white shook his head. "The Guanyin Monastery burned down, but the elder's wronged spirit has not dissipated. If the root of greed is not eradicated, the tree of suffering will always remain. You should have seen those three bells, right?"

Bell? Youlan Daier immediately recalled the bell she had just rung. The sound was very dull, like the sound of someone holding their breath. The scholar in white had said that the spirit of the elder from Guanyin Monastery lingered. Could it be that the spirit was gathered in the bell?

But just when she wanted to ask the scholar in white, he suddenly turned into a wisp of dust and slowly dissipated, and no trace of him was seen anymore.

...Was it too harsh? Yulandel sighed. She stood there, pondering for a moment, then decided to go back to Guangzhi's bell and ring it again.

Although she didn't quite understand what "If the roots of greed are not uprooted, the bitter tree will remain" meant, Yulandel felt that it might mean getting rid of the wronged soul and letting it return to where it should go.

It just so happens that my gourd has been blessed by the Taoist priest, so it should be able to do this.

Yulandel returned the same way, listening to the Earth God recalling the news about the three bells. She suffered some hardships again in this secret mountain realm, teeming with monsters. Fortunately, she had hurriedly recovered the ancient bell guarded by Guangzhi and immediately struck it with all her might.

The sound of this bell was the same as the one behind Guangmou, also muffled, like a warning.

Next, we need to find the last bell, right? After listening to the Earth God's nagging, Youlan Daier continued on her way to find the location of the third bell.

The third bell was near the mountain gate guarded by the white-robed scholar. Youlan Daier crossed a long and narrow waterway and quickly found her target.

However... this bell is not guarded by a demon leader. There are only some small demons and a wolf demon hanging from a tree.

Youlan Daier cleared out the little monsters in three moves, looked up at the wolf demon's corpse hanging from the tree, and then walked straight to the last ancient bell. She grabbed the hammer and struck it hard, ringing the elder's last greed.

The ringing of the bell startled the birds as usual, but this time, it also awakened the obsession hidden in the old place.

The ancient bell suddenly transformed into a whirlpool, sucking Youlan Daier in. In a blink of an eye, she saw that the bright daylight had turned into night, and she was no longer in the courtyard where the wolf demon had been hanged, but in the Zen temple she had seen not long ago.

No, that's not right. Youlan Dai'er found that the Zen temple in front of her was even more dilapidated than the one she had just seen. In the gloomy night, it even became more gloomy.

She tightened the long stick in her hand and strode into the courtyard.

Then I saw the land temple again.
