Chapter 74 Deadly Danger! (4.8k)
At this moment, the male lead couldn’t help but think more.
Does the old monk in the ring know about the “Soul Stone”?
If he knew that the Soul Stone was so eye-catching, why didn’t he remind him to put it away?
The hero wanted to remind himself not to think too much.
But the facts in front of him forced him to be skeptical!
The old monk had mentioned to the male lead many times, hoping that the male lead would send him back to the Luohan Temple.
But they were all rebuffed by the male lead on the grounds that it was not the right time.
Xishan Temple had been feuding with Luohan Temple for many years.
The male lead, as a Buddhist son of Xishan Temple, personally escorted the ancestor of Luohan Temple back to the temple.
If this gets out, Xishan Temple’s reputation will be swept away.
The Buddha’s son would also become a traitor to the Western Mountain Temple!
The hero is not stupid.
How could he do such a thing to harm himself and benefit others!
It’s just that he didn’t expect that the old monk would be so insidious as to secretly set him up.
The male master had reason to be suspicious.
The old monk intentionally didn’t warn him, just to push him to the brink.
Just like now.
There was no longer a place for the male lead in the Western Mountain Temple.
His only option was to send the old monk back to Luohan Temple.
By then.
Old Monk would inevitably return in glory like a hero who had won a battle.
The hero, on the other hand, will have to bear the name of a traitor to the Western Mountain Temple.
In the Luohan Temple to languish!
And act like a clown.
From time to time, they were pulled out by the Rohan Temple to disgust the Western Mountain Temple!
“Ahem!”
Probably sensing that the male lead’s mood swings were too drastic.
The old monk in the ring comforted him for the first time.
The old monk coughed lightly and said awkwardly, ”Young monk, the old line didn’t know about this either. When I first found this ring, the old monk thought that it was a heavenly treasure and that his life was not meant to be. How could I have ever imagined that this object would be so much and so eye-catching.”
After the male lead had preconceived notions in his heart, when he heard the old monk’s words, he immediately felt that there were breaks everywhere.
He was just about to speak when he heard Linglong gently eep at the side.
The male lead turned around to look at Linglong.
Linglong ignored the male lead and instead looked at the ring in his hand with a burning gaze.
The male lord lifted the ring up and asked, “Miss Linglong, what have you discovered?”
Linglong didn’t know if she was really straight in nature, or if she had other intentions.
She pointed at the ring and said to the male lord, “I misread it just now, the ring in your hand is not a Yin Soul Stone.”
Eh?
The male lead was first stunned, then relieved and a little disappointed.
The old monk said, “You little monk is so multi minded, how would the old line harm you ……”
Before he finished his words, he heard Linglong say again, “The material of that ring is Soul Nourishing Stone!”
The male lead and the old monk froze at the same time.
The male master asked, “Scholar Linglong, what is Soul Nurturing Stone?”
Linglong asked instead of answering, “Have you recently had a lack of concentration, often resting poorly and waking up in the middle of the night?”
The male master was stunned at first, then nodded, “Indeed!”
Linglong asked again, “Has that old monk in the ring been injured recently?”
The male master frowned slightly, “Linglong Shi Shi, what are you trying to say?”
Linglong said, “The main material of that ring is the Soul Nourishing Stone, it will absorb your soul power to mend that residual soul inside the ring, until it sucks up all your soul power, and then the residual soul in the ring will take over your body!”
Take over your life?
The male lead’s face changed and he looked at the ring he was carrying on his finger, but it was like hot coals of fire, and his entire body froze!
“Nonsense!”
The old monk was clearly infuriated, and even took the initiative to show himself.
He floated above the male lead’s head, pointing at Linglong, his beard trembling in anger: “You woman, you’re so venomous, why are you slandering the old monk like this?”
Linglong carefully sized up the old monk once, then bristled, “You know yourself well what your own intentions are! Let me ask you, can you dare to swear to Buddha that you don’t have any plans for this young monk at all?”
The old monk was dumbfounded.
He did have thoughts about the male master.
That is, he hoped that the male lead would escort him back to Luohan Temple.
But he had never used any devious tricks against the male lead!
The old monk had practiced Buddhism for his entire life and had a strong Buddhist heart, so naturally he couldn’t do that kind of devious and underhanded thing.
The old monk’s hesitation, falling in the eyes of the male master who had a grudge in his heart, became hard evidence that he was really scheming.
The male master’s heart was burning with anger, but his face did not move.
He said to Linglong, “Linglong Shi Shi, I believe that the Ancestor will not harm me. Ancestor has saved my life, even if he wants this life from me, I will not hesitate to give it to him!”
Linglong skimmed her lips and did not speak again.
When the old monk heard the male master’s words, a pleased smile immediately appeared on his face.
He glared at Linglong before returning to the ring.
Seeing this, Linglong couldn’t help but remind the male lead, “What I said is true, you have to be careful with that ring, and that old monk, I can feel that he’s not a good person!”
“Enough!” The male lead interrupted Linglong.
He was unwilling to dwell on this issue and turned his head to look deeper into the monument forest.
The male lord asked, “Scholar Linglong, you are also here for the supreme treasure here, right? There is only one supreme treasure, how should you and I distribute it?”
Linglong looked like she didn’t care about the treasure and casually said, “Heavenly treasures are for those who have the destiny! You and I are each based on our own abilities, whoever gets the favor of the supreme treasure is you and whoever’s luck!”
Seeing Linglong being so spontaneous, the male master could not help but feel good about her.
“Amitabha!”
The male lord folded his hands and said to Linglong, “Then, according to what Scholar Linglong said, you and I will each depend on our own chance.”
Linglong smiled and took a step into the stele forest, then walked ahead.
She turned back, looking at the male master with a coquettish smile, and admonished, “There are still a lot of mazes in here, so you have to stay close behind me, oh, so that you don’t accidentally get lost again!”
The male master was greatly grateful, “Many thanks, Linglong Shi Shi.”
Linglong gave a cheeky smile and did not say anything else, bouncing off into the depths of the monument forest.
Seeing this scene, both the male master and the old monk fell silent.
When they came in just now, they had experienced the power of this Stele Forest’s formations.
Linglong had actually passed through the many formations so easily.
It was as terrifying as it was!
The male master asked in his mind, “Ancestor Luohan, can you see clearly where Scholar Linglong came from?”
The old monk was silent for a moment and said, “There are indeed some sects in the Immortal Cultivation World that are known for specializing in breaking formations, and the most famous of them is the Yao Family of the Giant Spirit Lineage. But even for the Yao family, I have never heard of such a woman who can break all kinds of formations with a snap of her fingers and a breath! This woman’s talent in the way of formations is simply amazing and unimaginable!”
Yao family?
The hero remembered Yao Qing.
Yao Qing was also surnamed Yao.
However, she was a cultivator of charming techniques and should have nothing to do with the woman in front of him who specialized in formations.
After the old monk finished speaking, he suddenly solemnly reminded the male lead:
“Young monk, the root of the way of formations lies in arithmetic and arithmetic.”
“Those who are proficient in this path are mostly people who have a delicate mind and are well versed in arithmetic!”
“When you deal with that Linglong Shi Master, be careful and never fall for her calculations!”
The male lord glanced at Linglong who was leading the way in front.
Linglong was oblivious to what was going on behind her.
She was still quickly cracking the maze that blocked the way, her face was a sunny smile, looking very lively.
The male lead couldn’t imagine what kind of malicious calculations such a candid woman could have.
Although his heart resisted, the male lead did not refute the old monk.
He respectfully said, “Thank you for reminding me, Ancestor, disciple understands!”
The old monk was old and sophisticated.
How could he not see the male master’s perfunctory behavior.
He didn’t say anything more, but waited in the ring…
When things go wrong, there must be a demon.
The old monk did not believe that the woman called Linglong was really that kind.
She must have some kind of scheme.
Although the old monk couldn’t see through her purpose, he was sure that she would reveal herself.
It wouldn’t be too late to wake up the young monk at that time!
Seeing that the old monk didn’t say anything anymore, the male master didn’t ask any more and went after Linglong with a quick step.
Along the way, the male master once again saw how amazing Linglong’s attainments in the way of formations were.
No matter what kind of formation, as long as it appeared in front of her, more than a tea time, less than three to five breaths, Linglong could directly break the formation.
The male lead was able to be an atmosphere group at first, and at the end, he was directly numb.
Just like this, the two of them broke the formation all the way to the end of the stele forest.
It was a large black hall with two hideous and terrifying stone beasts guarding the entrance.
The male lead glanced at the stone beasts and only felt his heart skip a beat, as if he was being watched by some terrifyingly ferocious and vicious beast.
When Linglong saw the stone beasts, her eyes immediately began to shine.
The male lead asked curiously, “Miss Linglong, do you know these two ferocious beasts?”
Linglong nodded and explained, “These two stone beasts are the fifth son of the dragon, Taotie!”
After saying that, she looked up at the gloomy and majestic black hall in front of her and said excitedly:
“That ancient scroll was right, this is indeed the divine hall of the true dragon’s son, Taotie!”
“It is rumored that the Taotie is an ancient divine beast, and there is only one in each generation.”
“After the Taotie falls, the divine soul returns to the divine hall and re-breeds into form!”
“The last generation of Taotie was the Chaotian Sect’s Protector God Beast, and some people once saw it appear in a duel between the Chaotian Sect and the Grand Xia Imperial Dynasty!”
“Taotie hasn’t appeared for a thousand years, it must have fallen!”
Taotie?
The male lead’s eyelids fluttered.
He didn’t realize that the chance the old monk had told him about was actually the Five Sons of the Dragon!
The male master inquired in his mind, “Ancestor, you already knew that this was the divine temple of the Dragon’s Son?”
Old monk: “I didn’t know that this place was the Dragon’s Sons’ shrine, I just observed that there were many mysterious spirits here, so I concluded that there was a great chance here, but I didn’t realize that it was the place where the Taotie was conceived and transformed into his form. The Taotie before its transformation can be taken in, you little monk is really a blessed person!”
The male lead was in a very happy mood when he heard the old monk’s words.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Linglong on the side, and the smile on his face slightly tightened.
There was another Linglong in front of him, and he promised Linglong to each according to his chance.
The final belonging of the Taotie Divine Beast was still uncertain!
The male lead thought in his heart, then curiously asked, “Miss Linglong, why did you conclude that Taotie had fallen?”
When Linglong heard this, she looked at the male lead with some strange eyes.
She didn’t have the heart to say, “Why else, of course it’s because the Great Xia Dynasty won in the end! According to the overbearing style of those lunatics from Zhao, if Taotie was still alive, they would have captured it even if they dug up the ground and skinned it! You don’t think this secret realm can stop Zhao’s people, do you?”
The male lead instantly realized that he had asked a very idiotic question.
He thought of the previous days when he was hunted down by the Xuan Zhen Guan and the Sovereign’s House like a lost dog.
The male lead’s face was ugly as he said, “Is Zhao really so terrifying?”
Linglong sniffed and gave him a strange look before nodding affirmatively, “Really! Zhao is far ten thousand times more terrifying than what you can imagine! You’re a monk, you’re also considered to be in the Immortal Cultivation World, haven’t your elders reminded you that you must not mess with the people of Zhao?”
The male lead was silent.
The old monk in the ring had told him this kind of thing quite a few times.
It was true that the elders of the Western Mountain Temple hadn’t said it!
If the elders had mentioned it to him, he would have definitely kept his distance from that Su Shallow.
He wouldn’t have ended up in this situation!
Alas!
The male lead sighed.
The elders of the Western Mountain Temple were not to blame for this.
In the final analysis.
The culprit is that black-robed abomination!
If it wasn’t for him forcibly instilling the male lead, the male lead wouldn’t have been insecure.
The male lead’s first reaction to picking up the ring would definitely be to hand it over to the abbot instead of keeping it for himself!
“Damned bastard!”
The male lead had wondered if that black-robed man could be his father.
Why else would he be able to find himself?
Now it seemed that the male lead hoped that the man had better not be.
Otherwise, he couldn’t help but put on a show of righteousness!
Linglong saw the male lead’s face change color and reminded, “Anyway, just remember in the future, you must stay away from those crazy people from Zhao is all!”
The male lead nodded.
The two of them came up from the bottom of the steps and took a step to the entrance of the great hall.
The door to the Great Hall was very strange.
There were five sharp black spikes on the left half of the door, and on the right half of the door was a strange beast head inscription with an open bloody mouth and a hideous and terrifying appearance.
The beast head inscription was the same as the stone beast at the door, and it was also the divine beast Taotie.
The male lead stood in front of the beast head and immediately felt like he was being stared at by a terrifyingly ferocious beast.
In the male lead’s eyes, the terrifying beast head looked like it had come to life.
Its eyes were bloodshot, its hideous mouth was open, the corners of its mouth were dripping with sticky scarlet blood, and its terrifying pressure surged towards the male lead in an overwhelming manner.
The male lead instantly looked like he was drowning, desperately strangling his neck, his face swelled red, and he was directly unable to breathe in pain.
“Watch out!”
The old monk in his mind suddenly sounded an alarm, “That woman is going to sneak up on you!”
The hero heard it, but was powerless to strike back.
He had been imprisoned by Taotie’s Dragon Might and was unable to move at all.
In the next moment, a slender palm was affixed to the male lead’s back.
The male lead screamed in his heart that it was not good, and then he was shocked to realize that the expected attack did not appear.
A warm air current emanated from that palm, directly forcing the surrounding dragon’s might to disperse, saving the male lead.
The male lead was instantly as if he had been pardoned, and desperately gasped for air.
Linglong’s voice sounded behind him, ”You’re also too eager, so I’ll be a step late! There’s a mesmerizing formation on that beast’s head, your cultivation level is too low, if you look directly into the Taotie’s eyes, you’ll be easily trapped!”
The male lead’s face reddened in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I was too careless!”
He gratefully said, “Scholar Linglong, thank you for saving me again!”
At the same time, a sweat broke out in his heart.
If Linglong hadn’t stepped in just now, he would have already been crushed to death by that Taotie Dragon’s might.
As a result, he suspected Linglong of sneaking up on her.
The male master hesitantly said, “Ancestor, Scholar Linglong is not a bad person, you should not have preconceived notions about her.”
The old monk was silent.
Linglong looked as if she didn’t see the male master’s face and casually said, “It’s fine, just a show of hands! That inscription maze power is terrifying, but as long as you’re careful and don’t look into Taotie’s eyes, you won’t get hit easily, the real danger is ……”
Hearing this, the male master curiously asked, “Linglong Shi Shi, what is the real danger?”
After saying this, he only sensed in hindsight that Linglong’s palm was still propped up behind his back, and embarrassedly said, “Linglong Shi Shi, there’s no danger now, your hand ……”
Linglong looked like she was lost in thought, and hearing the male master’s words, she returned to her senses and asked, “What did you just say?”
The male master didn’t think much about it, but said, “Linglong Shi Shi, I said that there is no danger now, your hand can be withdrawn.”
Hearing this, Linglong let out an “Oh” and moved back and forth behind the male master’s back before withdrawing her palm.
The male master’s mind relaxed.
The next moment, he suddenly felt a huge force coming from behind him.
Linglong’s strike was simply too fast.
Especially since she had just saved the male lead.
This time even the old monk didn’t react.
The male lead let out a miserable scream and his entire body flew straight up.
Then, it crashed heavily into the door on the left side.
There were five sharp spikes on the door.
When Linglong struck, she deliberately adjusted the position of her power.
When the male lead crashed into the door, his limbs just happened to be spread out, pinned right on the four spikes.
The spike on the back of his neck, due to the fact that the male lead raised his head a little bit in the last conditioned launch, the spikes only pierced through his flesh and did not nail him to death.
This scene was just too fast, and it was only until the huge pain on his limbs reached his brain that the male lead finally reacted.
He looked at Linglong and said incredulously, “Linglong Shi Shi, what are you doing?”
Linglong ignored him and instead nervously looked at the Taotie inscription on the right door.
As the five spikes continued to suck blood, the inscription on the right side gradually began to light up.
Linglong let out a sigh of relief.
She looked at the male lead and smiled triumphantly, “I really didn’t miscalculate, the gate of the Taotie Divine Hall requires human blood sacrifice to open it!”
With that, Linglong said to the male lead, “Now, you know what the most dangerous thing is, right?”
After Linglong finished speaking, she suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.
“You fool!”
“The most dangerous person in this divine temple is old me!”
