As soon as the words were spoken, there seemed to be silence in the air for a while, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.
"Master?" Lin Chuan frowned slightly, "You--"
In Lin Chuan's impression, Master Mingjue is a person with a very stable personality. With him, the safety of the entire team and the stability of people's hearts are greatly guaranteed. Lin Chuan thought that Du Heng or Liu Suifeng would propose to go in and investigate, but unexpectedly it was "Senior Brother Ming" who said such words first.
"Well, the poor monk has a reason why he has to go in."
Qin Tiexin's tone was very calm, but everyone could hear the certainty in his tone.
From the moment he stepped into this area, the severed arm in Frost Storage Bag has been vibrating, and the vibration frequency is more urgent than ever before. The dark golden runes light up one by one, and the feeling spreads along Divine Sense, and finally points clearly to the depths of Pure Land Chan Temple.
That feeling has been urging Qin Tiexin to go deep into Pure Land Chan Temple.
"Master, I'll accompany you." Before Lin Chuan could say anything, Liu Suifeng said eagerly from the side, "When the time comes, I will use the formation to assist you, and we might as well--"
"Thank you Brother Liu." Qin Tiexin interrupted Liu Suifeng, "I know the risks of this trip. I can only do this by myself. There is no need for you to accompany me to take risks."
"Master, there are Golden Core Demon Beast inside." Liu Suifeng's expression changed and he took a step forward, "You go in alone, just in case--"
"Don't worry."
Qin Tiexin held the Zen staff in his hand and lightly tapped the end of the staff on the ground. He didn't say anything more, he just turned to Lin Chuan and made a Buddhist salute with one hand raised.
"Everyone, go to the beach first. We will catch up with the poor monk after he finishes. We will not take any chances." He paused and added, "There is no need to wait for the poor monk."
Lin Chuan wanted to persuade him, but he had already said it clearly. He had known Qin Tiexin for so long and knew that he could not persuade her.
"Five days." Lin Chuan said, his voice a little low. "In five days at most, we will return here from the Vast Waves Sea. If Senior Brother Ming has not caught up by then, we will definitely go in and search."
Qin Tiexin understood Lin Chuan's concerns and nodded.
Lin Chuan took out a stack of various talismans from the ring. Liu Suifeng handed Qin Tiexin two instant array disks. Xu Ying took out three bottles of elixirs from the storage ring. Lin Chuan handed them all to Qin Tiexin.
Qin Tiexin didn't want to accept it, but looking at Lin Chuan's firm eyes, he knew that if he didn't accept it, everyone would not leave with peace of mind, so he had to put the things in his storage ring and perform a Buddhist salute to everyone.
"Fellow Daoists, there is no need to worry about the poor monk. He must pay attention to the poor monk when he goes there to ensure that he escapes safely."
After saying that, Qin Tiexin was afraid that everyone would hesitate, picked up the Zen staff, turned around and walked towards the temple, found the most inconspicuous path that was almost covered by shrubs, and walked to the edge of the jungle alone.
Liu Suifeng shouted "Master, be careful" from behind. He did not look back. The tail of the Zen staff touched the muddy ground covered with dead leaves, and the gold and copper rings clanked.
After taking a few steps, he stopped and looked back.
Lin Chuan, Du Heng, Liu Suifeng, Xu Ying, Ling Shuyao, five figures stood on the scorched earth of the wasteland, looking at him across the edge of the dense forest. Liu Suifeng opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent.
Qin Tiexin raised a palm with one hand and saluted everyone.
Then he turned around and disappeared into the shadow of the tree. The sound of the gold and copper ring of the Zen staff echoed for a few times among the airtight branches and leaves of the ancient locust tree, and then was swallowed up. The jungle returned to silence.
The back of Qin Tiexin disappeared among the airtight branches and leaves of the ancient locust tree, and the last sound of the copper ring of the Zen staff was swallowed up by the silence of the forest.
Lin Chuan stood there, looking at the path that was almost buried by shrubs, and was silent for a few breaths. Then he turned around and his voice was a little lower than usual.
"Let's go. After getting the sea water, come back to meet Senior Brother Ming."
The five people walked along the east hillside. The road was indeed not easy to walk as the previous Supreme Splendor Academy classmate said. There were gravel slopes one after another, and the Shitous under their feet slid loosely. They had to step firmly before taking the next step. But it was indeed safe. Apart from a few low-level Demon Beasts that smelled human scent and stayed away, they encountered no real threats along the way.
The road is not difficult to walk, but what is difficult is the atmosphere.
Liu Suifeng walked in the middle of the team, holding the array plate in his hand, and the detection light habitually scanned around.
In such a non-dangerous place, normally, he would have started quarreling with Du Heng, either laughing at Du Heng for slipping on the slope just now, or showing off the newly imprinted Spirit Rune structure on his array plate, or dragging Ling Shuyao to discuss the Spirit Rune adaptation issue between the puppet drive core and the array plate.
But he didn't say a word. Spirit Rune on the array automatically refreshed for three rounds, and he didn't even look down once.
Du Heng walked in front carrying a broadsword. After Qin Tiexin left, he explored the way in front. His steps were heavier than usual, and the scabbard of the sword knocked against the shoulder armor, making a dull sound.
After walking for more than half an hour, he suddenly stopped, picked up a piece of Shitou from the ground and threw it hard against the hillside in the distance. The Shitou bounced twice on the slope and rolled into the gravel pile.
No one asked him why he smashed Shitou, and no one spoke.
Xu Ying walked half a step behind Lin Chuan. She took out a Qi Recovery Pill from Storage Bag and handed it to Lin Chuan, her movements were as natural as usual, but her eyes were a little distracted, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Lin Chuan took the elixir and thanked her. She just said "hmm" softly, her voice so light that it was almost inaudible.
Ling Shuyao walked at the back of the team. She had only been in the team for three or four days, and it was only the third time she had met Qin Tiexin, but she was sensitive to the strange atmosphere in the air.
Liu Suifeng stopped talking, Du Heng stopped cursing, Lin Chuan's brows had not loosened since just now, and even Alchemist, who looked the gentlest, had a sense of absent-mindedness when he handed over the elixir.
She walked a few steps quickly and stood side by side with Liu Suifeng.
"Fellow Daoist Liu." She lowered her voice, "Master... have you known each other for a long time?"
Liu Suifeng glanced at her and was silent for a while before speaking.
"It's not that long. We just met Secret Realm Trial before, in Ten Thousand Stars City At the auction of the Star Treasure Pavilion." He turned off Spirit Rune on the array plate and lowered his voice a few minutes. "Originally, the four of us have always been a team, but we have been missing someone like Senior Brother Ming who can resist damage and directly face the opponent's impact. Later, Lin Chuan introduced him and joined our team."
He paused, and the gravel beneath his feet rolled down.
"In the battle at the Secret Realm Trial Medicine Garden, when the Blood-Eyed Devil Ape rushed over, none of our attacks could stop it. It was the master who stood at the front and held it hard, so I had the chance to use the formation to seriously injure it. It was also Senior Brother Ming who stopped it when it was about to run away, giving Lin Chuan the chance to kill it with a sword."
"He was able to carry Blood-Eyed Devil Ape? Golden Core Realm's Demon Beast by himself?" Ling Shuyao's voice was filled with uncontrollable surprise, "It's really unimaginable."
"There are so many things that are unimaginable. Sky-Splitting Cliff later, Spiritual Qi was cut off there at that time, and we all became ordinary people. It was Senior Brother Ming who first entered the canyon to explore the road, faced the ambush, and finally led us through." Liu Suifeng smiled bitterly, "He never shows off himself, talks about how powerful he is, and never talks about how hard he works. He always does the most dangerous work alone, and then when he comes back, he puts his hands up and says 'Amitabha Buddha' to you, as if nothing happened."
He paused here and kicked a piece of gravel away from his feet.
"I just felt that he shouldn't have been allowed to go in alone just now."
