"Qingying, why did you suddenly stop leaving?"

"There's a Buddhist artifact on the corpse over there. Although it's not a particularly powerful item, it's a consecrated and blessed artifact."

"The Luoyang shovel and the begging bowl?"

"That's a convenient shovel and a begging bowl!" Yun Qingying corrected unhappily.

Outside the stone steps in the mountains, there were several corpses lying among the branches on the hillside outside the fence. The dried blood had stained their robes black. They died with their eyes open. After the corpses began to swell, their eyeballs bulged out, looking a little hideous.

If you visit at midnight and suddenly see this scene, you will probably tremble with fear.

Buddhist magic weapons were like garbage, abandoned next to the corpse.

After defeating the monsters, all the equipment dropped, but he didn't even pick them up. This murderer is quite particular. I guess he doesn't think much of such ordinary magic weapons.

Chu Wuji asked, "Goddess Sky Fox, can you reconstruct the course of the battle here? I haven't seen the magic monks take action yet."

The voice of the Sky Fox Lady seemed to come from the girl's delicate breasts:

"No, this mountain is too ordinary and can't retain spiritual energy. The aura on the corpse has long dissipated. Young Master can only look at the wound himself and determine how he died.

But the temple should be able to retain some spiritual energy, after all, it has been collecting incense for so long."

Chu Wuji still remembered this piece of knowledge. He had mentioned it at the waterfall pond. It had to be some specific Feng Shui treasure land to keep traces of spells cast by those who came and went for a long time.

If Chu Wuzhi had not accidentally discovered traces of the Scorpion Demon at that time, he would have had no clues, and it would have been even more impossible for him to contact the Western Region escorts afterwards.

The young man was puzzled again: "This mountain is so ordinary, why did they choose to build the temple here?"

Bai Sujin is considered a half-local here. She explained, "The feng shui is similar, so just choose a place with good scenery to build it. I also picked a random location for my temple."

It's a really simple explanation. So it's for scenery...

Chu Wuji thought that this kind of power that understood magic must have a lot of knowledge involved in the selection of the site for civil engineering construction.

After the two entered the temple, the smell of blood became even stronger, making their eyes uncomfortable and they couldn't help but squint.

The big incense burner in the front yard is gone. It should be the one that the people moved to the front of the White Snake Temple.

In the chanting hall, the Buddha statue fell down, and there were clear scratches on the Buddha's body, and the gold layer was scraped off.

The ground was littered with corpses. Many monks in patchwork robes who were chanting scriptures had died suddenly and were lying in such an orderly manner that those who didn't know would have thought that the murderer had placed them there on purpose.

But in reality, most of the time the perpetrators saw a group of monks standing and chanting, and killed them all with one blow, leaving them no chance to react or struggle.

"Dangdang——"

The dull sound of the bells echoed in this silent temple. It sounded for no reason, and there was something indescribably strange in the rhythm of the ringing sound.

"Let's go and take a look." Chu Wuzhi was very calm, without a single ripple in his heart or expression.

The brother and sister followed the source of the sound and came to a place with obvious traces of fighting. The walls were riddled with holes from whip blades and blood was splattered on the walls.

An old monk in the abbot's robes crawled a long distance from the pool of blood on the ground, leaving a long trail of blood, and dug out a bell.

This is the information that can be judged from the traces at the scene.

Now, the old abbot was completely dead, with no life left in him. His face was black and his corpse spots were black, but his body seemed to still have an obsession and was forcibly shaking the bell.

"It's really rare. Even though it's completely dead and stiff, it can still ring the bell out of nowhere. What is it doing? What's the purpose?"

Chu Wuji looked at him closely, becoming more alert to prevent the monk from pretending to be dead and trying to scratch him.

Yun Qingying couldn't give an explanation at the moment. Her knowledge was limited and she couldn't clearly explain the monk's behavior and intentions. She could only express her own guess:

“Even though the person is dead, the corpse still insists on ringing the bell under the influence of a thread of obsession. This must be a very important thing.

Seniors, do you have any insights?"

Bai Sujin gave a more appropriate statement:

"If you want to ask for help, call someone. This bell has also been blessed. It might be a means of communication between Buddhist temples. It should be used to call for help."

Chu Wuji was suspicious: "Ask for help? This temple has been slaughtered for several days, and the corpses are starting to stink. Why hasn't help come yet?"

Yun Qingying understood immediately. She understood the reason: "The old monk's injuries are too severe. It is difficult for him to mobilize his magic power to ring the bell. Simply shaking it like this is useless."

Aunt Green Snake didn't speak again after entering the temple, but her snake head was always looking out from her sleeves, her sharp eyes gazing at the surroundings.

She said coldly, "No, that Tianlong monk is not here. His body was not found along the way!"

Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Green Snake knows it very clearly. Although this temple is in cahoots with Tianlong Monk, the direct enemy of the two sisters is Tianlong Monk, and this Jintai Temple is not among their targets.

If Tianlong Faseng had not died here, then there would still be someone to settle the old accounts!

Chu Wuji knew what his aunt was thinking just by listening to her tone, and reminded her:

"Aunt, don't get excited. We can't find anyone now. If the Tianlong monk you mentioned is really nearby, he would have come back to help the monk collect the body long ago."

Aunt Green Snake thought it made sense and quickly shrank back into her sleeves listlessly.

Everything that can be confirmed with the naked eye in the temple has basically been confirmed. It is still a dead place. People died from the bottom of the hill to the top of the hill, and no one survived.

Chu Wuji looked at Yun Qingying, but was just speaking to the Sky Fox Goddess in her body:

"Is there any remaining breath here?"

"Yes, in fact, I still vaguely sensed the magical aura of that little witch, the Hehuan Charming Skill~"

Yun Qingying reacted strongly to what Goddess Tianhu said, and the expression on her pretty face became serious. She remembered the previous defeat and humiliation. Could it be that Goddess Tianhu was talking about the previous Saint Hehuan?

The fox girl did not keep the secret, and a magical little fox jumped out. Its feet were very short, but it walked very fast, jumping and hopping.

It used its big tail as a whisk, unraveling the mystery, and cast spells in several places one after another, re-enacting the fights that took place in the temple.

Although the battle scenes in many places are missing, as if they entered a "surveillance blind spot" during the fight, the true face of the attacker can be recognized.

One of the women is a familiar face!

Chu Wuji wondered, "It really is the Holy Lady Hehuan. The last time I saw her she was in the Western Regions. Why is she here again? That woman in the purple gauze dress, could she be the White Peacock?"

He had never seen the White Peacock, but had heard Fu Guanyin and the Western Region escorts mention this former saint of the Water and Fire Sect.

In her hand, she held a crystal-like blue orb, which was similar in size to the Holy Fire Orb. Inside the orb, a water ball was floating. The whole orb gave people the feeling of a ball of flowing water. When casting spells, a holy and beautiful white peacock would fly out from the water ball.

I almost subconsciously think of the name "White Peacock".

Although it was an accident, his attention was soon focused on the third woman. She was wearing a monotonous black robe, and her curvy and voluptuous figure was faintly visible. Her long hair was as dark as night, and she exuded a black aura. The devilish nature and murderous intent seemed to be tangible.

This black-haired woman seemed to be the murderer of the Jintai Temple tragedy, and she was the most brutal.

In a quick glance, the face of the woman in black robe came into everyone's sight.

Oh my, I was wondering who it was, isn’t this Bai...Hei Su Jin?

Even though there was a huge difference in temperament, the expression of the black-robed woman was even more ferocious and fierce, even more so than that of the Green Snake Aunt, but it was hard to mistake her for her similar beautiful face.

It’s the White Snake, there’s no mistake!

The Sky Fox Goddess smiled playfully and said, "Where did this murderer come from? Why does he look exactly like the White Snake and even have the same enemy?"

Aunt Green Snake is the person who has been with White Snake the longest. This is a sisterhood that was formed before they transformed, but at this moment, Aunt Green Snake can't help but doubt herself.

"Sister, could it be that you... have a twin black snake sister? Why didn't you let me meet her earlier?"

Under normal circumstances, Aunt Green Snake would get the cold shoulder for saying this, but now it makes perfect sense!

Chu Wuji paused for a moment, and finally managed to utter a sentence: "Mother, is this my younger aunt or my elder aunt whom I have never met?"

"......" Bai Sujin was in a complicated mood and couldn't continue the conversation.

She also wanted to know, who was this person?

Chapter 233 A Different Kind of Good Thing

In the current situation, everyone fell into silence, feeling awkward and not knowing how to break this delicate atmosphere.

Bai Sujin was thinking in her mind, could it be that she really had a twin sister?

But there shouldn't be any. The moment she broke the egg, her spiritual intelligence was awakened and she knew the importance of cultivation. There was no memory that she had ignored.

She had never met such a person before. From another perspective, how could Bai Sujin ignore such a woman with murderous intent and full of demonic energy?

Anyone who knows how to practice cultivation, even a mortal with a slightly sharper spiritual perception, will instinctively feel great discomfort and threat from the black-robed woman.

This is a dangerous person who can make people sound the alarm just by passing by him.

"I've thought about it seriously. I don't know this person. Maybe she's impersonating me?"

Bai Sujin could only give this explanation, and there was no joking in her expression, she was very serious.

Aunt Green Snake stopped making jokes and more or less agreed with her sister's statement, and then came up with a guess:

"Perhaps this is a powerful demon from the snake clan, one of the more violent types. After hearing about my sister's story about the White Snake Temple, it disguised itself as her to punish evil and promote good?"

Yun Qingying nodded. She was still watching the scene of the black-robed woman "cutting the grass" with a snake sword in her hand, and said softly:

“Unfortunately, with this restored image, it’s impossible to tell whether she was in disguise, but I remember that there wasn’t any snake demon wanted in the mission hall.

A demon race with such strength shouldn't be unknown, right?"

The Shenxiao Sect does not issue a wanted notice for every demon it sees. Only those demons who have committed serious crimes, are well-known far and wide, and have "made a name for themselves" are given this honor.

Being published in the mission hall does not mean that the disciples are waiting to hunt them down. It is more of a reminder to the disciples of the sect. If you encounter them by chance and you are not strong enough, you should avoid them if possible, pay attention to safety first, and then send the information back to the sect.

Judging from the cruel style of this black-robed woman, who slaughtered all the people in Jintai Temple right away, she must have been a famous figure in the past.

Appearance can be disguised, but the moves, weapons, and spells used are difficult to disguise.

Yun Qingying shook her head and sighed:

"It would be great if Master were here. She's more familiar with these notorious demons and might be able to figure out who's impersonating Madam Bai."

Chu Wuji looked at his fairy sister helplessly. He didn't want Ning Xianzhi's mother to be here. The White Snake Mother and the Sky Fox Mother had finally managed to live in peace along the way.

There can't be any variables, nothing can be controlled!

When the two of them were arguing and fighting before, Chu Wuji could still use the excuse of "hiding in the fairy mountain". Now if Ning Xianzhi's mother also joins in, where can he hide?

The Sky Fox Goddess suddenly reminded her companions to be silent and said hurriedly:

"Let's stop talking for now. The little fox has caught some new clues. Let's see what's going on."

In the battle scene just now, it was more of a one-sided massacre by the black-robed woman. The young monk who was chanting scriptures was treated like a grass. The abbot took out some treasures of the temple and also used his fists and feet, but he still could not escape the fate of being seriously injured and defeated.

As for the White Peacock and the Holy Maiden Hehuan's attack, it was against the four wandering monks who died on the hillside. They seemed to want to return to Jintai Temple for support, but they couldn't even save their own lives, so providing support was a joke.

And now, the black-robed woman was looking at the abbot monk on the ground. Instead of finishing him off, she gave him the opportunity to report for help.

In just a few words, the black-robed woman actually mentioned the "Tianlong Monk". It seems that her goal is also clear. Destroying the temple is a piece of cake, but the person she really wants to kill is the Tianlong Monk.

The seriously injured abbot monk lost too much blood and was poisoned. Finally, he found the bell and rang it.

Even though all life is gone and the body is stiff, a trace of obsession still supports the ringing of the bell.

This made Bai Sujin feel helpless again, and she said tiredly:

"This guy has gotten quite a bit of information. Is he really here to help me get revenge?"

Although the current situation is very suitable for another joke like "White Snake, think about it again, have you overlooked the sister who has been following you secretly", no one is in the mood to make another joke.

Some funny things will become annoying if repeated too much, so it is best to stop when enough is enough.

Aunt Green Snake said depressedly:

"So what should we do now? Should we just go back? It seems like there's nothing we can do."

The Sky Fox Lady also sighed, feeling unfair for her lovely "mount" girl, and said:

"Oh, Xiao Qingying, you haven't come down the mountain to play for a long time since you returned to the sect after the last attack. You finally went on a long journey, but you didn't gain any experience. It must have been a wasted trip."

Yun Qingying, with two snow-white fox ears on her head, looked serious and solemn as she replied:

"That's absolutely not the case. I'm just a spectator. I've seen a lot along the way. Just the scenery, watching the surging Tiannu River, and hearing your brother's childhood stories are worth the trip."

After she finished speaking, the graceful girl in black veil bowed her hands and clasped her fists to express her respect and gratitude to the elders.

She performed a ceremony of paying respects and expressing her gratitude in such a strict manner that the atmosphere became more relaxed. Bai Sujin and the others all felt that her meticulous and serious expression was particularly cute.

Chu Wuji then took the initiative to suggest:

"It's rare to come such a long way. Now that we're here, let's take a look around the nearby mountains and rivers. Besides, the appearance of this mysterious demon is also a good thing for us."

Aunt Green Snake didn't understand what this meant. She crawled out from Chu Wuji's collar, poked out her little head, and asked with her long, pink, and slender snake tongue:
