Seven wooden fishes floating neatly in front of the person give people a very strange feeling.
Master Wan Meng and Chen Lin both activated their spiritual treasures and retreated to the steps, keeping alert.
After a while, he felt relieved when he saw that he was not attacked.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, what do you think the meaning of these wooden fish is?"
Master Wan Meng took a look and then asked Chen Lin.
Chen Lin's eyes had been roaming over the wooden fish. Hearing this, he said, "Sir, have you seen the holes on the wooden fish? They are exactly the same size as the relic. I guess we should put the relic in one of the holes of the wooden fish."
The actions of these monks were caused by the stimulation of the relics, so the wooden fish in front of him must be related to the relics.
There are only seven wooden fish in total. Which one should I choose and what does each one represent
Thinking of this, Chen Lin suddenly had an idea and remembered the trick that the wooden chicken had told him.
When there are three, choose the first one; when there are four, choose the last one; the seven stars are connected and head east.
Although there are seven wooden fishes in front of him, which seem to be inconsistent with what the wooden chicken said, they are currently located on the third floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower. If you look closely, it can also be considered as the third floor.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin subconsciously denied this idea.
The first wooden fish belongs to Nian Qing. If one of the seven monks is most likely to be in danger, it must be this person, so this is the wooden fish he least wants to choose.
If he really needed to put the relic into one of the wooden fishes, he would naturally prefer the last one, because it belonged to Master Niankong. He had inherited the relic from the other party and was considered half of his disciple. Whether from an emotional or safety perspective, this was the right choice.
“I think that’s what it means.”
The voice of Master Wan Meng rang out, interrupting Chen Lin's thoughts.
He agreed with Chen Lin's analysis, holding the magic weapon, he slowly moved forward and tentatively approached the wooden fish.
Seeing that there was no danger, Chen Lin followed.
I observed it closely, especially for a long time in front of the first and last wooden fish, but I didn't see any difference.
"Do you think we should give it a try?"
Chen Lin was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should listen to the wooden chicken or follow his own inclination and choose the wooden fish, so he asked Master Wanmeng.
Master Wan Meng affirmed: "Time waits for no one. Since the rules have been triggered, we naturally have to give it a try. And don't you realize that we have no way out?"
Chen Lin was shocked when he heard this, and immediately released his spiritual sense. Then he felt that the entire hall was shrouded in a layer of invisible energy, even the stone steps were no exception.
This layer of energy shield should have appeared after the relic was activated. It was not there when I came in before.
He glanced at Master Wan Meng. The other party didn't seem to be panicked, so he must have some backup plan.
"Don't worry, there is still a way to leave, but it can't be used until the last minute."
Master Wan Meng spoke calmly.
Chen Lin was certain when he heard this, and asked, "Which wooden fish do you think should be chosen?"
Since the other party was so confident, there was no need to worry about the way out. However, he was undecided about which wooden fish to choose, so he wanted to hear what the other party thought.
"I don't know either."
Master Wan Meng frowned, his eyes moving constantly over the wooden fish, looking as if he was having difficulty making a choice.
Seeing this, Chen Lin no longer placed his hopes on the other party.
This step is critical. Choosing different wooden fish will definitely result in different results. You must not mess around.
“You’re finally here!”
At this moment, a voice sounded in Chen Lin's mind.
He was startled and glanced at Master Wan Meng, but the other party did not react. It was obvious that only he could hear this voice.
Chen Lin set his sights on Nian Kong.
There couldn't be anyone else who could say such words to him at this time.
Moreover, when his body was infused with the other party's relics, the other party's voice appeared in his mind. Because it was an infusion, the memory of it is particularly clear.
The other party actually recognized him and could even send him a message!
Chen Lin was secretly surprised, but also confused.
According to his previous speculation, this scene should be a projection of the Demon-Suppressing Temple where Nian Kong and others were when they were alive, but in that case, the other party would not be able to know him.
When he entered the ancient underground temple in Maple Leaf Lake, these seven monks had been dead for thousands of years, so the timeline did not match.
No matter how powerful the demon world is, it can't let the projection know what will happen a thousand years later, right
Unless his guess was wrong, this place was not a projection of the Demon-Suppressing Temple during that period, but the place after he left the ancient temple.
Or maybe it was not a projection of the Demon-Suppressing Temple itself, but a capture of a monk’s dream!
After thinking for a while without any clue, Chen Lin stopped thinking about it. The more he thought about the demon world, the more confused he became. He could not determine the form of its existence at all.
After waiting for a while, Nian Kong's voice did not appear again. It must be that he was subject to some restrictions and could not communicate normally.
But with the other party's voice transmission, Chen Lin made up his mind and decided to choose Niankong's wooden fish. The other party had a deep relationship with him, seemed to have independent consciousness, and remembered him, so he was definitely the best candidate.
As for the reminder of the wooden rooster, not to mention that the wooden rooster itself is not trustworthy, it is also impossible to confirm whether this third level is counted as the third level mentioned by the other party. If there is a mistake, the consequences will be unbearable.
Moreover, the first person to be chosen every three times is that mean-looking fellow Nian Qing. He has been demonized, so it is impossible to choose him no matter what.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin was about to make a suggestion to Master Wan Meng, but Nian Kong's voice rang out again.
"This place is extremely dangerous and is beyond your reach. Put the relic in my wooden fish and leave!"
This time the voice sounded very tired, and carried a strong sense of intimacy.
Chen Lin's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he took two steps forward and came to the last wooden fish.
"Do you want to choose this one too?"
When Master Wan Meng saw what Chen Lin did, he also walked over.
Then he said, "I also feel that this wooden fish has a sense of intimacy, and it seems to be more in line with the relic, so let's choose this one!"
Hearing the other party's words, Chen Lin nodded and put the relic into the hole of the wooden fish.
The seven monks' eyes all fell on the relic. The others still had no expression, but Nian Kong showed a strange smile.
However, at this moment, Chen Lin flicked his finger and the relic suddenly flew up.
Under everyone's astonished gaze, the relic drew an arc and landed accurately in the first hole, which was the hole of Nianqing's wooden fish!
"Chen Lin, what do you mean?"
When Master Wan Meng saw Chen Lin's actions, he immediately shouted angrily, and at the same time, the magic treasure in his hand shone brightly, covering his whole body!
He was not angry because Chen Lin chose the first wooden fish. In fact, he himself was not sure which one to choose, but Chen Lin made a rash decision without discussing it with him, which made him think that Chen Lin wanted to do something bad to him.
At the same time, the strange smile on Nian Kong's face disappeared instantly, turning into a look of shock and anger. A terrifying and evil aura suddenly burst out from his body, and he raised his hand to slap Chen Lin.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the white lotus in the middle made a slight sound and emitted a faint white light.
A look of pain suddenly appeared on Nian Kong's face, and the aura in his body began to fade rapidly, and he became dull again.
Seeing this scene, Master Wan Meng showed a look of surprise and glanced at Chen Lin.
Chen Lin, on the other hand, looked relieved.
If Niankong hadn't added those tempting words at the end, he would really have chosen the other party's wooden fish!
Master Wan Meng also said that he felt close to Nian Kong's wooden fish, which was also the reason why he finally changed his mind and chose to believe in the wooden chicken.
It was normal for him to feel close to the other party, because he had inherited the other party's legacy, but it was not normal for Master Wan Meng to feel close to him, because this feeling of closeness did not come from the heart, but they were influenced by something!
Seeing Chen Lin's expression, Master Wan Meng knew that Chen Lin must be hiding something from him, but before he could ask, the seven wooden fish flashed and flew back in front of the monks, and the six monks including Nian Kong also returned to their original state, motionless.
Only Nian Qing took his wooden fish in his hand, then sighed, raised the hammer and hit the wooden fish.
"winter!"
This time the sound of the wooden fish was deeper than before, and as it was struck, it emitted bursts of Buddhist light.
The Buddha's light enveloped Nian Qing, as if breaking some kind of restriction, allowing him to stand up from the ground.
He just pointed at the white lotus, and it began to spin and float up slowly. When it floated above the heads of the other six people, it suddenly emitted a bright light, covering all seven people including Nian Qing!
The light faded, and everyone and everything disappeared.
A light gate appeared at the original location of the white lotus, emitting gentle fluctuations.
Chen Lin frowned and looked at the light gate, with more and more doubts in his heart.
Obviously, Mu Ji's divination was very accurate, allowing him to escape a disaster. However, according to the other party, this was a disaster that was enough to take his life.
But why is it that the demonized Nian Qing is the door to life, and Master Niankong, who in his heart is a highly accomplished monk, sent him messages to seduce him, but ultimately failed to succeed, and also exuded such a terrifying evil aura, wanting to kill him
Who was demonized
Was the information he got when he was infused with the relics true or false
Nian Kong is a Buddha or a demon. If he is a demon, will there be any problem with the inheritance he received from the other party
Questions kept popping up in Chen Lin's mind, but he couldn't get any answers, which made Chen Lin extremely depressed.
He had a feeling that there might be a big problem with the Buddhist techniques he was practicing!
"Friend Chen Dao, I think you should give me an explanation?"
The voice of Master Wan Meng sounded, with an unhappy tone in his voice.
Although it now seems that Chen Lin's choice was extremely correct, he absolutely does not believe that Chen Lin was guessing. The other party must have known the secret here but did not share it with him.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
Chen Lin suppressed his worries and looked at Master Wan Meng. Just as he was about to explain, he saw the light gate suddenly begin to flicker.
"No, stop talking and quickly move to the next level!"
Seeing this, Master Wan Meng didn't bother to question Chen Lin and immediately rushed towards the light gate!
