Half an hour after Li Yan and the others came over, the Taoist priest came roaring through the air. However, he didn’t say anything after he arrived. Instead, he landed directly on the futon in the middle of the platform from the air, facing the square, with his back facing the square. At the door of the majestic hall, a yellow curtain hangs under the lights inside the door. A huge pillar that only a few adults can embrace rises from the ground. Above the giant pillar, there are dragons and clouds hovering, lifelike, as if they want to fly away in the clouds. In the hall, cigarette smoke is lingering. The forty-foot-tall statue is located in the center, which is the Taoist Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun. The entire hall is filled with light and splendor, as if there are solemn Taoist voices chanting in a low voice, echoing in the hall. There are also statues of immortals such as the Jade Emperor, the Four Great Emperors, and the Five Elders on both sides of the interior. Although the statues are also magnificent and majestic, they are much shorter than the Sanqing Tianzun in the center.
After sitting down cross-legged, the Taoist priest closed his eyes tightly. If you look closely, you will see that there are two extremely bloody threads entwining his skin, which penetrate from the middle fingers of his left and right hands and go all the way up his arms. Every time he took a breath, these two blood streaks would flicker and extinguish.
The scene on his side had long been noticed by Li Yan and others. Li Yan stared and heard a man in black robe whisper, "This is the Blood Oath Formation. I heard that only Only those who have reached an extremely advanced level can understand the formation, and Xuanqing Temple is truly worthy of its reputation."
With the arrival of the Taoist priest, the world gradually became quiet, and only the bright moon gradually rose in the breeze. Slowly sinking to the west.
…………
At Yin Shi, although the eastern sky is still dark, it has ushered in the time for daily morning recitation in Taoist temples. Perhaps due to the special nature of today, early morning The chanting has already started in the square below. Many disciples have already chanted silently. Twenty disciples stood up in the square and faced Xing. Each of them had an extraordinary aura. They should be the best people in the Taoist temple and represent the leaders of each branch hall. Went to the main hall to offer incense.
After they stepped onto the white jade steps, they first bowed deeply to the Taoist priest sitting on the platform in the middle of the steps. Then, Luo Sanpang, Qin Chengyi, and Kong Nantai led ten people into the hall, and the rest Waiting is still sitting outside the main hall.
Li Yan and others were surrounded by ten new disciples.
From time to time, the melodious sound of bells came from the hall, and then stronger sandalwood overflowed. These sandalwoods are not used by ordinary mortals, but are refined with spiritual grass. It has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind, and is also very beneficial to practice. Li Yan smelled the fragrance coming from the tip of his nose, and felt that the pores all over his body relaxed, and the spiritual energy in the air jumped and danced happily. As he breathed in and out, it traveled happily through the muscles and veins, and his mind was clear. Zhongzheng.
"This fragrance is comparable to the first-level elixir. If you can find some, it will be somewhat beneficial to your cultivation." Li Yan thought in his mind that in his consciousness, several people around him seemed to be borrowing it. The machine breathes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
In this peaceful scene, a sudden sound of panic broke the silence of the morning: "Uncle Luo, Uncle Luo..."
Then more came. sound.
"Oops, something happened to Master Luo..."
"Uncle Kong...Uncle Qin, come here quickly..."
Suddenly, bursts of exclamations came from within the main hall. In the chaos, Kong Nantai’s scolding voice came out: “Shut up, everyone. ", like a suppressed thunder, suddenly there was no sound in the hall.
At the same time, the figure of the palace Taoist on the platform was blurred and disappeared, and at the same time, his deep voice came from the air. " No one can move rashly, please stay where you are. "
The five Li Yan disciples and the ten disciples on the platform also stood up one after another, but were unable to enter the main hall due to the words of the Taoist priest.
Hundreds of monks in the square of the main hall were also talking about it. The sound sounded instantly, but there was no chaos overall, which showed Xuanqingguan's heritage as a sect with a long history.
The Taoist Gong stood in the main hall, originally because of controlling the Blood Oath Array. His face turned pale due to wear and tear, and he was now livid. A dozen disciples around him were trembling with fear. Kong Nantai and Qin Chengyi also stood aside with ugly expressions.
Taoist Gong looked at the huge Sanqing statue. Luo Sanpang, who was offering incense, still held three sticks of thick incense in his hand. The incense was extinguishing, and the smoke was curling up. He seemed to want to go forward and insert the incense into the incense burner, but he just stood there, motionless.
The Taoist Master stopped his breathing when he came in. He stood two feet away from Luo Sanpang. His consciousness scanned Luo Sanpang several times from top to bottom, then looked back around and whispered, " What's going on? "These words seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth. In his consciousness, Luo Sanpang had already died, and his soul had also dissipated.

After he asked, the hall was as silent as death. The disciples around him were trembling, and they felt as if a volcano was about to erupt.
Nantai frowned, snorted coldly, pointed at a rather sturdy Taoist priest and said, "Bai Kui, tell me, you were the first to discover it.
The Taoist priest who was pointed at by Kong Nantai turned pale and hurriedly stepped forward, "Disciple Bai Kui has seen the master. Just now, I was cleaning up under the instruction of several uncles and uncles." Cleaning, offering incense, but Sanqing Tianzun has always been cleaned and incense offered by the uncles and uncles, so we went to the side hall to offer incense to the emperor, the six emperors, and the elders of the five directions.
Today, the Sanqing Tianzun Immortal’s throne is still held by three master uncles and uncles. When the disciples and others passed by several times, they found that Master Luo had been holding incense respectfully. They thought he was here. He was silently praying for something, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But after a while, the disciple realized something was wrong. When he stepped forward to ask, he didn't see Master Luo's answer. He felt something was wrong, so he boldly stepped forward, only to see Luo Uncle Master's eyes were dull and his body was lifeless. With a glance of his consciousness, Master Luo was already...already..." After saying this, Bai Kui looked horrified. What happened in the Taoist Temple in the past two days, he was elected as the person today. A senior disciple who can enter the palace, with his status in the sect,, knowing that there were more disciples than other disciples in the square, unexpectedly, in front of everyone, a powerful monk in the middle stage of foundation building died like this, and there was also an uncle of foundation building in the hall, at the door of the hall He was the leader, how could he not be afraid?
"Oh, you didn't find any clues at first?" Gong Taoist's voice suppressed his anger. He looked at Kong Nantai and Qin Chengyi this time.
"Senior Brother Qi, there are people coming and going here. They are either cleaning or offering incense in the side hall. After coming in, the three of us first dusted the dust and then each offered sacrifices to the ancestors of Sanqing. "Xiang, after Junior Brother Qin and I finished paying respects, I saw that Junior Brother Luo was still reciting silently, so I went to arrange for other disciples, but... I didn't find anything unusual." When he said this, his face was also uncertain.
After listening to the silence, the Taoist priest scanned the standing body of Luo Sanpang several times with his spiritual consciousness. The incense of clear smoke floating there was not poisonous, otherwise everyone in the palace would also be there at this moment. None survived.
The palace Taoist walked slowly in front of Luo Sanpang, and suddenly opened his mouth, and a green bead exuding rich cyan wood spiritual power flew out of his mouth, and the bead flew instantly in the green light. When it reached Luo Sanpang's forehead, the moment it came close to Luo Sanpang's forehead, a ripple-like cyan wave rippled, and then a "buzz" sound was transmitted to everyone's ears, cyan beads and cyan halo It darkened for a moment, then quickly flew towards Luo Sanpang. After the ball circled around Luo Sanpang's body, it finally flew to the three pillars of sandalwood held in Luo Sanpang's hand, and after another "buzz" sound Shoot back.
Looking at the bead floating in front of him with green light flickering in and out, the Taoist priest probed into the bead with his spiritual consciousness. This bead is called "Qinglan Bead" and it is a piece of Chinese medicine. The magic weapon of this class, which has a powerful restraint effect on evil spirits and poisons, is the natal magic weapon of the palace Taoist.
The palace Taoist looked at the two silky gray thin lines in the green bead. At this moment, they were bumping left and right in the bead, but the gray thin lines were compared to the vastness surging inside the bead. The cyan spiritual power seems too small, but it is extremely ferocious, and it does not seem to be inferior to the wind at all.
He couldn't help but his face became serious, and he shouted in a low voice, "It's actually Gray Qumantra water applied on the sandalwood. It's no wonder that Junior Brother Luo looks like this. I'm afraid he has been swallowed up long ago." There is only an empty body left in the sea of consciousness."
After hearing this, the disciples were still confused. Even Qin Chengyi looked confused, but Kong Nantai's expression was expressionless. After a sudden change, he couldn't help but lost his voice and said, "Brother, head master, are you really sure that Junior Brother Luo has been poisoned by the Hui Qu Man Tuo water? Isn't this poison only occasionally found in the extreme southern seas? It is extremely difficult to collect it. If you accidentally touch it, you will be killed. Someone actually got this poison. This poison has not appeared in our Western Region for at least thousands of years. I heard that people who are poisoned by this poison will have their whole body stiffened and their consciousness will not be lost, but they can feel it. One's soul is entangled by this poison, like a mandala king snake, until the soul is finally swallowed up, making the poisoned person feel like his soul is being pulled out, but he can't make any sound.The sound and even the expression were paralyzed without any change. Although the whole thing lasted only two or three breaths, the poisoned person felt like he had been in purgatory for tens of millions of years. "
The Taoist Gong looked at the gray thread that had almost disappeared in the blue bead and nodded slowly, "It is this poison. I never expected that someone would use such vicious means to deal with me, Xuan Qing Guan. Although this There are only a few strands of poison, and it is easy to kill a foundation builder. Even if I refine the remaining two strands of my natal magic weapon, it will probably take nearly a year. It seems that I, Xuan Qing Guan, have made a powerful enemy. "Speaking of this, he narrowed his eyes and his mind turned rapidly. For a moment, he couldn't figure out where the powerful enemy was attracted. After a few breaths, his body suddenly trembled slightly, and a thought flashed in his mind. "Could it be related to the two disappearing sects nearby? "Thinking of this, Master Gong couldn't help but feel chills running down his back. The two disappeared sects had thousands of people in total. Even this place was strange and disappeared overnight. They were all guarded by Jindan monks. Now the ancestor of his sect is not here
The more Gong Taoist thought about it, the more chill he felt in his heart. But after all, he had been in charge of the sect for decades. Although he was shocked, his face was still gloomy. .
He felt the terror of his opponent. Every time he killed, he left no useful clues. Even if he killed Junior Brother Luo in this hall, it seemed that the killer must be following Junior Brother Kong, Junior Brother Qin and Junior Brother Shi. Among the disciples, this is not the case. After worshiping the sandalwood every day, they will put the sandalwood in the same position again for reuse. Even if you find the person who placed the sandalwood, you still can't be sure. They only gathered here at midnight last night. Has anyone touched these sandalwoods during this day, and how many people have been touched? Therefore, it is not certain that the poisoning took place this morning.
What's more, there is another question that puzzles the Taoist priests. If the murderer wanted to kill people, why did he only poison the few incense sticks that Junior Brother Luo took? If he only targeted the Foundation Establishment monks, this person must have known about Sanqing. The Heavenly Lord must be offered the incense by the Foundation Establishment cultivator, so why not just poison the three of them? Of course, Qin Chengyi is a person whose seniority and realm are inconsistent.
For a moment, the Taoist Gong felt that his head was so swollen that the murderer might have done it. There was no pattern in killing people without trace, either directly or in plans, which made him more and more confused.
But at this moment, a red light flew rapidly from the distance. He was extremely fast and did not stop at all. He flew into the hall in front of everyone's eyes. After the light dissipated, Hall Master Ji's livid face was revealed. He flew directly from the patrol after receiving the message from his disciple. When he came back, he first glanced at everyone in the hall, and then came to the side of Taoist Gong in a few steps. Then the two of them started whispering. Later, Taoist Gong and Hall Master Ji spread out and walked around in the hall. After walking around for a few times, they went straight out of the main hall. After half a stick of incense, the two returned to the exhibition.
"The clues here are even more confusing than Junior Brother Song's. There were too many disciples coming in and out yesterday. , which cannot be ruled out at all. "Hall Master Ji's eyes seemed to be filled with fire. As the gatekeeper and supervisor, heMaster, this day, he seems to have lost his magical power and is under control everywhere. He still looks a little bit like an immortal, which makes him feel extremely depressed.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest thought about it and said, "Senior Brother Ji, don't blame yourself. I have thought about it for a long time and feel that this matter may be related to the two missing persons nearby reported by Master a few days ago. There are some connections with the sect, and there are golden elixir monks there. Something happened, and I don’t know if Master has any clues."
He did not call "Hall Master Ji" this time. Instead, he called him "Senior Brother Ji", which showed his comfort. Hall Master Ji started his career earlier than him and was the senior senior brother of this generation. However, since Gong Taoist became the leader, he also started calling him "Senior Brother, the head master" along with the others. Gong Taoist had no choice but to talk to each other. When I call him senior brother again, I just call him "Hall Master Ji" every time.
