After hearing Li Yan's words, the Taoist priest was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but feel overjoyed. This matter was a top priority. He quickly said, "Senior, please take action. I can't thank you enough." When he said this, his face showed a sign of pleading. color.
"Don't call me senior, just call me Fellow Daoist Li. Although I have made some inferences and guesses about what happened in the temple, some things are still not clear. Please tell me what happened just now. I know the death of fellow Taoist Luo and the relationship between the main personnel in the Taoist temple." Li Yan slowly walked to the table and sat down on the chair.
The Taoist Gong was startled at first, and then his eyes showed surprise. Although he had never guessed Li Yan’s cultivation level, now Li Yan’s mouth denied it even though he did not say it directly. Identity, just now he really thought that he had misjudged the other party's age, thinking that Li Yan must have practiced the top-level beauty-preserving technique. But after Li Yan denied it like this, Taoist Gong was even more surprised. At his age, he was closer to condensing golden elixir than he was. How could he not be surprised?
But he didn't dare to ask, so he ignored the matter in his heart.
About half an hour later, Li Yan lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought. The Taoist priest sitting opposite had a solemn expression and did not make a sound, for fear of disturbing Li Yan's thinking.
During the palace Taoist's narration just now, Li Yan asked a few questions from time to time, especially about the interpersonal relationships, living habits, etc. of the three deceased people in the Taoist temple, as well as the external events recorded when he entered the temple. The monks' information, including the clues found by the palace Taoist, were all inquired in detail one by one.
After about half a stick of incense had passed, Li Yan recalled in his mind what he had guessed and what he had just heard. After sorting it out, he raised his head and looked at Taoist Gong. When Taoist Gong saw Li Yan looking up at him, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Fellow Daoist Gong, your introduction just now has cleared up several existing doubts in my mind, but there are still two most important doubts that I need to confirm. But here Before, I would like to ask fellow Taoist, if you have any doubts, can you tell me?"
When Taoist Gong heard that Li Yan said that the doubts were almost solved, he couldn't help but feel excited. He was happy, but after hearing Li Yan's questioning, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and then said, "Yes, there is, it should be two people..." After saying this, the Taoist priest actually transmitted the message, obviously He takes this matter very seriously.
After hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but nodded. He didn't expect that the Taoist Gong was not as clueless as he saw outside. Many places coincided with his own, and some of his appearance seemed to be different. The performance must be deliberately confusing to outsiders, thinking, "It's true that he has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and he has become better with age. Without any evidence, he has narrowed the scope to an extremely small size. He knows something about it." Only when we have the opportunity can we make the final judgment." He immediately said, "Then let's solve the last two doubts." After that, he stood up.
In the early morning, Xuanqing Temple starts to operate inside and outside.After everyone knew that the ancestor would return this evening, they felt a lot more at ease. The Taoist priest made arrangements with a gloomy face. In the Taoist temple, except for him and Hall Master Ji, who led fifty people to sit in the main hall, the rest were led by Kong Nan. Several junior brothers and junior sisters headed by Tai led fifty people each to patrol the entire sect. In this way, on the one hand, the security of every corner of the sect was strengthened, and at the same time, the monks who came to teleport outside the mountain gate today were notified that they would not be able to do so until tomorrow. Teleport; on the other hand, he and Hall Master Ji were guarding the main hall. Although the two men in black robes and the hunchbacked old man were both strong men, under this heavy formation, the Taoist priest believed that they would not move around at will. Just wait for the ancestor Xuan Qingguan to return in the evening.
As the sun rises, except for the occasional patrol of dozens of people flying past, everything in Nuo Da's Xuanqing Temple is silent. The prosperity of the past is no longer there, and there is only an atmosphere of chilling.
At this time, among the pavilions of the back mountain palace of Xuanqing Temple, there is a simple four-story pavilion with overhanging eaves and hanging bells hanging on the second floor directly in front. There was a plaque with three vigorous characters "Tao Jing Hall" written on it. At this time, everything here was quiet and there was no one.
Although disciples were not allowed to come in and out at will in the past, people would still come here occasionally, but today it was completely silent, even in the early morning sunshine, it seemed quiet and empty.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared under the steps in front of the Taoist Hall like a ghost. Its approach was erratic and did not make any sound at all. This person was walking in the distance. He stopped ten feet away from the steps of the Sutra Hall. He first looked around, then closed his eyes, released his consciousness, and once again made sure that there was no one around, he suddenly opened his eyes.
He looked at the pavilion in front of him and sneered in his heart. He knew that there was a protective formation four or five feet away from the steps in front. If someone stepped in without knowing it, Inside, the formation will be activated instantly, and all kinds of scalp-numbing attacks will come at once. At the same time, the wind chimes on the eaves of the pavilion will be loud, and everyone in the Taoist temple will arrive in just a moment.

This place is the place where Xuanqing Temple collects valuable treasures, so the power of the protective formation here is not much inferior to that of the sect's mountain protection formation. Even if the Golden Core monks come here, they will not be able to break the ban. Under the law, he was helpless and did not dare to advance.
This man stood motionless on the spot with a calm expression. After looking around as if patrolling here, he once again made sure that there was no one around, and then walked forward, but he took every step very carefully. , even so, he quickly came to a place four or five feet away from the steps. Looking at the flat bluestone ground in front of him, he looked up at the wind chimes on the eaves. He knew that these so-called wind chimes, even if they were hit by strong winds, Even if you create a masterpiece, it won’t ring even a little bit.
The man stood there, letting go of his spiritual consciousness to be wary of his surroundings. He stretched out his hand and patted his waist. Two golden objects flew out of the storage bag and were captured.He grabbed it and spread his palms. In his palm was a wind chime that seemed to be cut in half by a sharp blade. This wind chime was very similar to the wind chime on the eaves, except that the wind chimes on the eaves were white and silver. In his hand The two halves of the wind chime were golden. Looking at the golden wind chime in his hand, he thought to himself, "After this mission is completed, you can leave here. Then you will be rewarded with a large amount of training resources, and your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds." Thinking of this. Here, a smile appeared on his lips.
These things are a long story, but it only happened in an instant. After the man took out the two halves of the wind chime, he threw it into the space in front of him. The two halves of the wind chime turned into two golden lights and shot forward. In the blink of an eye, When they reached the top of the open space in front of the steps, they saw ripples and distortions in the open space, as if the ground had become illusory and unreal, and then there was a low buzzing sound. Hearing this sound, the man couldn't help but smile. He looked nervous and even more alert. He knew that this was a precursor to the opening of the formation channel, and it was also the most dangerous at this time. Although the voice was low, it could still be detected by anyone nearby.
He only felt that his mouth was dry and his heartbeat was racing. Fortunately, the sound was extremely short-lived. It only took a breath or two before disappearing. The distorted open space and space returned to normal, and the The two halves of the golden wind chimes flew back to him quickly and silently. At the same time, there was only a soft "pop" sound, and a gap opened in the vermilion door in the middle of the first floor on the steps.
After the man put the wind chimes into his storage bag, he knew that he could not waste any time at this moment to avoid a long night and many dreams. In a flash, he had already dodged towards the steps. The distance of a few feet was just a thought for him. Looking at the vermilion door that gradually enlarged in front of him, his heart beat rapidly. But when he stepped on the ground in front of the door and was about to push the door open and rush in, his face suddenly changed. He felt his feet go soft, and then A sharp pain rose from the sole of his foot.
In a hurry, his whole body flashed with spiritual light, and he quickly flew up a few feet. As he flew up, he looked down and saw a huge sand pit under his feet. It was flowing, and black smoke was emitting from the boots on his feet, and the soles of his feet were already exposed. Despite his quick reaction, the soles of his feet were already covered in blood and flesh at this moment. What made his liver and gallbladder split even more was that he clearly felt that even if he He had protected his whole body with spiritual power, but there seemed to be something unknown on the soles of his feet that was trying to spread upward along the veins and burrow into it.
He was so shocked that he couldn't help but exclaimed "Quicksand Technique...", but he had no time to think about it at the moment. Just as he was protecting himself with spiritual power and was about to fly away, something unexpectedly happened in the sand pit. Generating a large suction force, this is the attack of Quicksand Technique. If he is doing this normally, even if he is sucked in, he still has many magical powers that he can use, such as "Earth Escape Technique", "Wall Penetrating Technique", etc., but This Quicksand Technique is clearly different from all the Quicksand Techniques he has seen. The suction force is extremely violent. With his tenth level of Qi Condensation cultivation, he has actually consumed three to four tenths of his spiritual power in just a short moment, which is the most terrifying thing. What's more, he has never seen or heard of the poison hidden in this sand pit. His reaction just now was not even faster than half a breath, and the pair of boots that were considered to be spiritual weapons could not even touch the ground.Without any resistance or delay, it turned into flying ash, which made him even more frightened.
He was even more shocked and puzzled. He had found out all the formations and mechanisms here through various methods. How could something suddenly happen? He couldn't help but be shocked and angry for a while. This is not one formation, but a series of formations. After such a long time of probing, no information has been obtained. Xuanqing Temple is hidden so deeply. This mission seems to have failed, and it must be done as soon as possible. It's better to leave the Taoist temple."
This sudden change made him extremely frightened. There was movement here, and someone would come looking for it at any time.
He couldn't help but use his spiritual power crazily, but what made him despair was that the suction force under his feet was getting stronger and stronger, and his body was still sinking a little bit. He looked around, and the surroundings were still silent at the moment. , which made him feel a little better. Looking around, he suddenly raised his hand, and a spiritual force shot out from his hand, like a rope that went straight to the railing on the steps. As long as this spiritual rope was entangled, If he reaches the railing, he will have more leverage and can escape quickly.
But just when his spiritual power rope was less than a foot away from his body, it seemed as if he hit a wall, and a dazzling light burst out. The next moment, it turned into little crystal lights and scattered in the air. Kai Lai, this made him feel shaken, and he became even more panicked for a while.
In a hurry, he hurriedly slapped his waist, and a flying sword landed at his feet. Under the control of his spiritual consciousness, the flying sword actually took him flying up a few inches. When he was overjoyed, the suction force of the sand pit under his feet increased again. The flying sword was instantly pulled into the pit, and his body also sank downwards. This made him extremely shocked and angry. He hurriedly patted the storage bag, and a white jade ruler appeared under his feet again. Under the crazy control of his spiritual power, the white jade ruler took him up and flew up a few inches. But just a few inches higher, the white jade ruler also Being sucked into the sand pit, just like this, in this heartache and rage, he sacrificed each spiritual weapon and spiritual treasure one by one, and then they were all sucked in and swallowed by the sand pit one by one. Although he was heartbroken, But fortunately, after all this trouble, he has gradually moved away from the sand pit.
He silently counted the time in his mind. Six breaths had passed since the beginning, and he had to escape from this place within ten breaths.
Looking at the dark inkstone under his feet and being sucked into the sand pit again, his heart was bleeding. This was a magic weapon, and its power was as powerful as the blow of a monk in the early stage of foundation building. There were formation shields all around here, trapping him firmly in the sand pit. He could only fly upwards without any help from the surroundings. Not only did the mission not be completed this time, he also lost five or six spiritual treasures and Of course, most of the magic weapons were spiritual treasures before. The magic weapon was just a dark inkstone. He just discovered that the magic weapon could allow him to fly up farther, but the distance of the spiritual treasure was much shorter, and he could only rise about two to three inches. The dark inkstone magic weapon just made him rise nearly a foot. As his body rose, the suction force under his feet was gradually weakening, which was a good sign.
At this moment, there is less than two breaths away from ten breaths.
