Li Yan At their feet was a road paved with green-brown boulders. They seemed to be standing at the entrance of a town. This was a triangular entrance where two mountains intersected.
But the entrance was already overgrown with weeds and thorn-like trees, completely blocking the entire entrance, so the two of them flew in from the top of the mountain.
The streets of the entire town are paved with a large number of green-brown boulders. Only in the gaps between two boulders are some weeds growing stubbornly out of them.
Judging from where the two of them were, the entire street seemed a bit clean, and at the same time, there was an endless silence in the dead silence.
Under their feet is a main road. After this main road extends inward, branch roads will appear in many places...
Li Yan looked at the buildings on both sides of this main road. Just like today's Xiuxian City, there are basically no cave abode or sects on both sides of the main road, but various street shops.
He could also see many broken flags and signs, some tall or short, some long or short, hanging in front of the door.
Occasionally when the wind blows up, the store flags and some signboards will keep swaying and making "puffing" and "clattering" sounds.
But there was not a single person on the entire street. There were only the grass growing out of the cracks in the rocks on the ground, swaying in the wind in response to their companions, but there were no shouts or shouts at all...
In the eyes of the two of them, the entire city was completely covered in blue-grey. In addition to giving people a sense of desolation and defeat, it also had a gloomy atmosphere...
"Since you and I are the only two people left here, let's search the back of the city separately. If there is any danger, let me know as soon as possible!
Of course, if you encounter something great and want to inform your sister, I certainly won't mind going there. You can choose a direction first! "
Shuang Qingqing looked at both sides of the street, and Divine Sense also spread towards the city, constantly scanning places quickly, and the same was true for Li Yan.
After leaning slightly, Shuang Qingqing took back Divine Sense, then turned to look at Li Yan and made a suggestion.
The meaning of her words was very clear. Without Yin Kongjin and Fang Xianhu, they no longer have to worry about how to distribute the benefits. The rest will depend on their own luck.
Otherwise, if the two of them keep walking together, if they encounter any single spiritual grass or the only Dharma Treasure later, it will be difficult for them to be able to share it equally.
So it's better for the two of them to separate now, and it's just out of sight, and everyone can get it according to their own luck.
Moreover, Shuang Qingqing gave the choice to Li Yan, so that the place she went to finally benefited. Li Yan also had nothing to say, and she was not stingy with her own people.
"Okay, if there is danger, call the police immediately. Senior sister, please be more careful!"
Li Yan also had a smile on his face. He was also rude and generous to him, and now that he got used to calling her, he has always addressed her as "senior sister".
Then Li Yan slightly raised his hand to Shuang Qingqing, and he randomly picked a direction and walked over slowly!
Shuang Qingqing no longer delayed, and immediately walked quickly in the direction opposite to Li Yan. Soon she entered a courtyard...
Four days later, Li Yan was standing in a side room. He had gotten some things in the past few days, but nothing that stood out in front of him appeared.
What he got was some refining materials and Pill. There were a lot of refining materials. Although there were things he had never seen before, the spiritual energy emitted from them was not too much. In Li Yan's opinion, the value may not be too great.
Some Pill also obtained, some were even shriveled and black, so Li Yan also put them away.
Therefore, even if the efficacy of those medicines has almost disappeared and there is not much spiritual energy in the materials, they may be of some use to me in my future research on Dao of Alchemy. At least I can understand the ancient monks' method of refining Pill Formula and what the ancient Spirit Plant looks like.
But apart from these, there was nothing Dharma Treasure that he could take away. It was either in dilapidated condition or the level was too low.
"This may really be an abandoned city. It can be seen from the traces of the military camps guarding the city. If combined with the experience of these days, a big battle should have happened here.
Therefore, after the battle, the good things in the city were naturally taken away by the victorious party, leaving an almost empty city in the end..."
Li Yan thought in his mind that he had already searched the back of the city at this time. Not to mention getting any treasures, there was no danger in the back, which was not as dangerous as the military camp in front.
Therefore, Li Yan is basically certain that the result of their trip may be nothing in the end, and this place is just an ancient ruined city.
Although he was disappointed in his heart, he had already prepared for such a thing. It was impossible to say that as long as he explored the secret realm, he would definitely find good things in it.
And if he could regret it, then if Yin Kongjin and Fang Xianhu knew Li Yan's thoughts, they would probably drink another bowl of Meng Po soup and finish it in one gulp, so as to completely forget everything.
They had waited so hard for so many years, and finally got here under the constant persuasion Shuang Qingqing. In the end, not only did they get nothing, but they also gave away other people's treasures and their own lives...
Li Yan In the past few days of searching, I also saw some secret rooms in the houses, but there was no longer any formation protection there, so of course there was no way there could be any good things.
"Junior Brother Li, you should have almost finished exploring there. If it's almost done, you can come here. There is only one place behind!"
Just when Li Yan was still looking around the room, Shuang Qingqing's voice suddenly came from his mind, and Li Yan immediately raised his head and looked in one direction.
Soon after, his Divine Sense was taken back. He saw clearly where Shuang Qingqing was, and then with a flicker of his body, he immediately disappeared from the place...
When Li Yan appeared again, his figure appeared in a forest. This was outside the mountain gate of a temple. The growth of rows of trees here showed a certain arrangement.
In front of the woods is an ancient temple. This temple is located at the very back of the entire city, occupying 23/10 of the entire city.
At this time, Shuang Qingqing's graceful and concave figure was standing at the steps in front of the temple gate. Without outsiders, she was too lazy to transform.
Li Yan landed behind her in a flash. This was the last place in the core area of the city, and it was arranged horizontally, occupying the deepest position of the city.
So after Shuang Qingqing explored from the other side of the city, she stopped here without entering first.
Sensing the slight sound of breaking the air behind him, Shuang Qingqing took his eyes back from the temple plaque, and then turned his head playfully.
The two of them did not explore each other in the past few days. Shuang Qingqing only confirmed the location of Li Yan after arriving here.
After discovering that the other party was also here not far from here, he knew that the results of Li Yan's investigation were almost the same, so he immediately sent a message to Li Yan.
Li Yan When he landed, his eyes glanced at the big characters engraved on the mountain gate. He didn't know much about Buddhist temples, so he didn't know if this temple existed in the outside world.
"Demon Burning Academy? What a domineering name!"
"There is no such temple in the outside world, at least among the larger Buddhist sects I know, I have never heard of the name of this temple!"
Shuang Qingqing seemed to have seen what Li Yan was thinking. As soon as Li Yan's eyes fell on the mountain gate, she immediately opened her mouth to explain.
Li Yan nodded immediately. Shuang Qingqing explained very concisely, but the other party completely understood what he was thinking.
If this temple has the same name outside, then we can use this to infer some of the origins of this ancient city of immortality, but unfortunately Shuang Qingqing has never heard of the name of this temple.
"Junior brother, this is the only place we have now, let's see if there is any chance!"
Shuang Qingqing tilted her head slightly and spoke softly. At this moment, she has bright eyes and white teeth, and she is unparalleled in beauty...
"Okay!"
Li Yan simply answered that a place like this still made him feel a little hopeful.
After the two met, they didn't ask each other if they had found any opportunities in the past few days. No matter how familiar their relationship is, they would never do something stupid like that.
The two then walked side by side towards the mountain gate ahead...
Inside the temple, when the two of them stepped inside, a grand square appeared in front of them, and there were three palaces located in it in three directions, but the outsides of the palaces all looked very dilapidated.
The walls are painted in mottled yellow and red colors, but the gilded plaque above the temple is still hanging. Facing the temple gate is the Main Hall, with Five Hundred Arhat Hall on one side and the Guanyin Hall on the other.
"With such a grand temple, it seems that this city may be dominated by the Buddhist sect. Could it be that the military camp in front is guarded by a group of monk soldiers?"
Shuang Qingqing stood in the square and looked around.
"Buddhist Kung Fu has always been fierce. If they mount their horses to become soldiers and dismount to become monks, the fierce attacks of those heavy cavalry in the fog really have some shadows of Buddhism, especially the name of this temple is like King Kong subduing demons.
It's a pity that the broken weapons in the army have lost their spirituality, and like the Buddhist sect like Pure Land Sect, they have many small sects under their jurisdiction, so once this place is a border guard city, it may not all be an army of monks.
At the same time, among the disciples of the Buddha Sect, there must be many people who have developed telekinesis. If this city is captured by others, how strong will the enemy be? "
Li Yan responded to Shuang Qingqing's words after thinking for a moment. He thought of the Pure Land Sect and Moji Dao Sect. The forces under the jurisdiction of these sects are also diverse.
Therefore, the Buddhist sect may be the main focus here, and this temple is built in a border city. The temple in front of you can only be regarded as a branch.
Buddhist, Daoist, and Confucian monks are generally existences that other monks are unwilling to provoke. Such monks are very difficult to deal with. They have methods beyond the normal range.
Once injured by the opponent, even a body as strong as Li Yan will worry about whether it can be repaired, because the power of mind cannot be dispelled by normal Pill or magic.
"It would be great if we could get their treasures in this temple. If the Buddhist treasures are kept as trump cards, they can often get twice the result with half the effort. Let's go and have a look!"
As Shuang Qingqing spoke, he swept away towards the Five Hundred Arhat Hall on one side!
The results she searched throughout the city were basically similar to Li Yan, and she didn't get anything good at all, which made her trip unsatisfactory.
This time, she did not go straight to the largest Mahavira Palace in the rear. She still used a step-by-step approach from front to back.
The two figures suddenly turned into two wisps of light smoke, and floated into the five hundred Arhat Hall like wind blowing. Then they saw various forms of statues in the hall, some lying, some standing, some sitting, some lying down...
A lot of dust has fallen on these statues, and the original appearance of many statues can no longer be seen clearly, because there are no living creatures in this city, and there are no cobwebs hanging all over them.
Various statues were placed on a high platform as high as one person, surrounded by jade railings. They were placed in the center of the hall and placed in a circle along the walls.
It's so densely packed that it's dazzling to see!
The two of them walked along the straight gap left in the hall, their bodies suspended in the air for a while and began to float. At the same time, they spread out Divine Sense and continued to explore various places.
Neither of them spoke anymore, they just flew slowly along the way, carefully exploring every place that seemed suspicious...
After half a cup of tea passed, they were still flying around this huge palace. The two of them did not stop once, which meant that nothing good was found here at all.
When the two of them were flying forward, they came to a place on their right side in front of an Arhat standing next to a deer. The moment Li Yan and Divine Sense glanced at it, the Arhat's eyes seemed to move.
This moment made Li Yan's heart tremble, but when he looked carefully, he found that it was an Arhat with a childish face and white hair, long eyebrows and a smiling face.
The other party's eyes were modest, looking at him with a smile, but the black pupils in his eyes were motionless.
Li Yan immediately stopped and looked at it carefully with Divine Sense. He felt that he was not in a trance and it should not be an illusion.
"What's wrong?"
Shuang Qingqing was just looking at the Arhats in the middle of the hall on the left, while Li Yan was looking at the row of Arhats against the wall, so Shuang Qingqing didn't know what Li Yan saw?
But Li Yan suddenly stopped behind her, so she followed Li Yan's gaze and asked softly.
"I thought I saw this Arhat's eyes move just now!"
Li Yan replied blurtly, and did not turn his head at the same time. He was still looking at the Arhat carefully, but at this time, there was no abnormality in the eyes of the Arhat.
"This Arhat's eyes are moving? Junior brother, are you reading that right? Why can't I detect any unusual aura on him?"
Shuang Qingqing Hearing this, her Divine Sense immediately moved over and quickly took a thorough look at the statue from the inside out.
The other person is a statue carved from the same material as the other Arhats here. It is a very hard stone.
But it is just hard, and there is no aura inside. Shuang Qingqing has spent a lot of time exploring it. Apart from allowing the statue to be preserved for a longer time, such a material seems to have no use.
"I shouldn't be mistaken. Does Senior Sister know what kind of Arhat this is?"
Li Yan did not immediately step forward to take a closer look. He looked at the densely packed Arhat Statue around him and felt like he was surrounded.
But in fact, he didn't feel any killing intent, and there weren't any abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations around him. When he turned to look at Shuang Qingqing, he was still a little confused.
Why didn't this happen with the other statues I just looked at? Although Li Yan knew about the Buddha Sect, he didn't know much about its origins. He didn't know whether Shuang Qingqing knew about it.
"This is the Arhat Sitting on a Deer, also called Venerable Bintulu. He is also the head of the Eighteen Arhats that people often say. Divine Ability is the Buddha's immovable nature and strong roots..."
Obviously Shuang Qingqing really understands Buddhism very well. As soon as he opened his red lips, he quickly explained it to Li Yan in a very relaxed manner.
"Venerable Bintou Lu, the Arhat Sitting on a Deer... the head of the Eighteen Arhats?"
Li Yan Listening to Shuang Qingqing's rapid narration, while thinking in his mind, he looked at the Arhat in front of him again, and then he suddenly made a move.
Li Yan's attack was like lightning, without any warning at all. This also caused Shuang Qingqing, who had no premonition, to violently accelerate the flow of mana in his body.
Li Yan suddenly stretched out a hand and flicked it quickly between the thumb and middle finger. Suddenly, a powerful finger flew out and shot straight into the right eye of Sitting Deer Arhat.
"The evil creature is under attack!"
At this moment, a Buddhist sound suddenly rumbled from high in the hall.
