After hearing what Li Yan said, the palace Daoist 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'm very grateful." When he said this, a look of pleading appeared on his face.
"Don't call me senior, just call me Fellow Daoist Li. Although I have some inferences and guesses about what happened in the temple, some things are still not clear. Please tell me the death of Fellow Daoist Luo just now and the relationship between the main personnel in the temple." Li Yan slowly walked to the table and sat down directly on the chair.
The Daoist Master was startled at first, and then his eyes showed surprise. Although he had never guessed Li Yan's cultivation level, now Li Yan, although he did not say it directly, also denied the identity of the senior. 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-keeping technique. But after Li Yan denied it like this, Gong Daoist was even more surprised. At his age, he was closer to condensation Golden Core Realm than himself. 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 Daoist priest sitting opposite had a solemn expression and did not make a sound, for fear of disturbing Li Yan's thinking.
During the Daoist'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 Daoist temple, as well as the information about foreign monks like him recorded when entering the temple. Finally, including the clues found by the Daoist, he inquired in detail one by one.
After about half a stick of incense had passed, Li Yan sorted out what he had guessed and what he had just heard in his mind, and then he raised his head and looked at the Daoist Gong. The Daoist Gong couldn't help but feel refreshed when he saw Li Yan looking up at him.
"Fellow Daoist Palace, your introduction just now has cleared up several previous doubts in my mind, but there are still two main doubts that I need to get confirmed. But before that, I would like to ask Friend Daoist if you have any doubts. Can you tell me."
The Daoist Gong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard Li Yan said that the doubts were almost solved. 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 Daoist Gong actually transmitted the message, obviously he took this matter very seriously.
Li Yan After hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded. He didn't expect that Daoist Gong was not as clueless as he saw outside. Many things coincided with his own. Thinking about some of his superficial behaviors, he should have deliberately confused outsiders. He thought to himself, "It's a good thing that he has cultivated." People who have been around for hundreds of years have become more sophisticated. Without any evidence, they have narrowed the scope to a very small size. I have the opportunity to know some things before I can make a final judgment." He then said, "Then let's solve the last two doubts." After that, he stood up.
In the early morning, Xuanqing Temple began to operate inside and outside. After everyone knew that the ancestor would return this evening, they felt a lot more settled. The Daoist priest made arrangements with a gloomy face, and the Daoist temple was cleared.
</di>
He and Hall Master Ji led fifty people to sit outside the main hall. The remaining junior brothers and junior sisters, headed by Kong Nantai, 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 people coming outside the mountain gate were notified. The monks who were sent can only be transported tomorrow; on the other hand, he and Hall Master Ji are guarding the main hall. Although the two men in black robes and the hunchbacked old man are both strong men, under this heavy formation, the Daoist priest believes that they will not move around at will, and will only wait for the ancestor of Xuan Qingguan to return in the evening.
When the sun was rising, except for the occasional patrol of dozens of people flying by, everything in Nuo Da's Xuanqing Temple was silent. The prosperity of the past was no longer there, and there was only an atmosphere of chilling.
At this time, among the pavilions of the back mountain palace of Xuanqing Temple, there was a quaint four-story pavilion with overhanging eaves and hanging bells. A plaque was hung on the second floor directly in front of it, which read three powerful characters "Tao Jing Hall". At this time, everything here was quiet and no one was there.
Although disciples were not allowed to come in and out at will in the past, people still came here occasionally, but today it was completely silent, even in the early morning sunlight, it seemed quiet and empty.
At this moment, a ghost-like figure suddenly appeared under the steps in front of the Dao Jing Hall. It came with an erratic movement and made no sound at all. The person stopped ten feet away from the steps of the Dao Jing Hall. He first looked around, then closed his eyes and let go of Divine Sense. After confirming again 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 into it rashly without knowing it, the formation would be activated instantly, and all kinds of nerve-wracking attacks would come at once. At the same time, the wind chimes on the eaves of the pavilion would sound loudly, and everyone in the Daoist temple would 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 Realm monk comes here, he is helpless and dare not enter without a way to break the ban.
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 would not ring even a little bit even if the wind was strong.
The man stood there, Divine Sense let go of his vigilance, and at the same time, he reached out and patted his waist. Two golden objects flew out of Storage Pouch. He grabbed it and spread his palm. In the palm of his hand were two halves that seemed to be struck by sharp blades.
The wind chime was cut open and divided into two. 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, while the two halves of the wind chime in his hand were gold. 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 lot of training resources, and your cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds." Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's 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 rays of golden light and shot forward. In the blink of an eye, they reached the top of the open space in front of the steps. The open space was rippled and twisted, and the ground seemed to change. The illusion became unreal, and then there was a low buzzing sound. When he heard this sound, the man couldn't help but look nervous and became 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 sound was low, it could still be detected by anyone nearby.
He only felt that his mouth was dry and his heart was beating faster. Fortunately, the sound was extremely short-lived and disappeared without a trace in just one or two breaths. The twisted open space and space returned to normal, and the two halves of the golden wind chimes flew back to him silently. At the same time, there was only a soft "pop" sound, and a gap was opened in the vermilion door in the middle of the first floor on the steps.
After the man put the wind chime into Storage Pouch, he knew that he could not waste a moment to avoid a long night and many dreams. He swayed towards the steps. The distance of several feet was just a thought for him. Looking at the vermilion door that gradually enlarged in front of him, his heartbeat accelerated sharply. But when he stepped on the ground in front of the door and was about to push the door and rush in, his face suddenly changed. He felt his feet go soft, and then a sharp pain rose from the soles of his feet.
In a hurry, his whole body flashed with spiritual light, and he quickly flew up about a foot. As he was flying, he looked down and saw a huge sand pit under his feet, slowly flowing, and bursts of black smoke were emitting from the boots on his feet. The soles of his feet were already exposed. Because of his quick reaction, the soles of his feet were now covered in blood and flesh. What made his liver and gallbladder split even more was that he clearly felt that even though he had protected his whole body with spiritual power, there seemed to be something unknown on the soles of his feet that was about 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, a large suction force was generated in the sand pit. This was the attack of Quicksand Technique. All of this he In normal times, even if he is sucked in, he still has many Divine Abilitys that he can perform, such as "Earth-Escape Technique", "Wall Penetrating Technique", etc., but this quicksand technique has clearly been seen by him before All quicksand techniques are different, and the suction force is extremely violent. With his Qi Condensation tenth-level cultivation, in just a short moment, he has consumed three-fourths of his spiritual power. And the most terrifying thing is that there is something hidden in this sand pit. The poison was something he had never seen or heard before. He had reacted so fast that he could not even take more than half a breath. The boots, which were considered spiritual weapons, did not even have the slightest resistance to delay before turning into fly 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 at the same time. "It turns out that this is not a formation, but a series of formations. After such a long period of probing, I didn't get any information. The Xuanqing Temple is so hidden. This mission seems to have failed. I need to leave the Daoist temple as soon as possible."
This sudden change made him extremely frightened. There was movement here, and someone would come looking for the sound at any time.
He couldn't help but run his spiritual power wildly, but what made him despair was that the suction under his feet was getting stronger and stronger, and his body was still sinking a little. He looked around, and the surroundings were still silent at the moment, which made him feel a little better. As he looked around, he suddenly raised a hand, and a bolt of spiritual power shot out from his hand, like a rope that went straight to the railing on the steps. As long as this spiritual rope entangled the railing, he would have more leverage and could quickly escape.
But just when his spiritual power rope was less than a foot away from his body, he seemed to have hit a wall, and a dazzling light burst out. The next moment, it turned into dots of crystal light and scattered in the air. This shocked him and made him even more panicked.
In a hurry, he hurriedly slapped his waist, and a flying sword landed at his feet. Under his Divine Sense control, the flying sword actually took him flying up a few inches. Just 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 shocked and angry. He hurriedly patted Storage Pouch again, and a white jade ruler appeared under his feet again. In his mad spiritual power Under the control, the white jade ruler took him up and flew up a few inches. However, just after rising a few inches, the white jade ruler was also sucked into the sand pit. In this way, in this man's 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, fortunately, after all this tossing, he had gradually moved away from the sand pit.
He silently counted the time in his mind. Six breaths had passed since the beginning. 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 piece of Dharma Treasure, and its power was as powerful as a blow from a Foundation Establishment Early Stage monk. 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 was the mission not completed this time, he also lost five or six spiritual treasures and. Dharma Treasure, of course, most of them were Lingbao before. Dharma Treasure is just a dark inkstone. He just found that Dharma Treasure can make him fly farther, but the distance of Lingbao is much shorter. It can only rise about two to three inches. Just now, the dark inkstone Dharma Treasure actually made him rise nearly a foot. As his body rises, the suction force under his feet is gradually weakening, which is a good sign.
At this moment, there is less than two breaths away from ten breaths.
