Chen Lin was enveloped by golden light and felt his body tighten. The next moment he appeared in a dark room.
He immediately took out the basalt shield and took a quick look around.
Then his eyes fell on the opposite side of him, where there was a skinny monk with his hands clasped together, sitting cross-legged and motionless, as if he was dead or alive.
But when his eyes fell on the monk's face, his expression suddenly changed!
Think of emptiness!
This monk is actually Nian Kong!
Chen Lin was extremely surprised. He immediately mobilized his soul power to wrap the shadow of the Black Tortoise around himself and slowly retreated.
This monk who had left him a legacy should have been his benefactor. However, after meeting him again and again in different Demon-Suppressing Temples, he did not feel any sense of closeness to him, but only a strong sense of vigilance.
The other party's appearance in the demon world can be said to be a projection, which can be barely explained. But how to explain its appearance here
Just a resemblance, a doppelganger, or something else
After a while, Chen Lin discovered that the other party's eyes had not been opened, and he seemed to have no breath.
After hesitating for a moment, he carefully released a wisp of spiritual consciousness.
After sensing it, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had no life and no spiritual fluctuations.
Whatever the reason, since he's a dead person, there shouldn't be any danger.
Even so, Chen Lin did not act rashly. Instead, he stepped back again, almost sticking to the wall, and looked around the room carefully.
Soon he frowned.
This room has no doors or windows, nor is there any teleportation array or anything unusual. It can be said that there is nothing in it except the monk Niankong!
Besides, after such a long time, Xiaocao has not come over yet, and I don’t know what the other party’s situation is.
He gave the other party a Buddhist bead. After seeing him being pulled away by the golden light, the other party would definitely put the Buddhist bead into the corresponding Buddha statue. As long as the time of the Buddha statue's transformation has not passed, it should be able to trigger the appearance of the golden light.
The other party did not come here, most likely because the Buddha statue was different, so the place he was teleported to was also different.
Chen Lin couldn't help but feel a little worried. Xiaocao was a straightforward person, and he must be very anxious to see him disappear. If he did anything rash, he might be in danger.
He concentrated and sensed for a while, but there was no miraculous connection with the other party. He didn't know whether this secret room had the effect of shielding the induction, or the other party was too far away from him.
After trying again and still not sensing anything, I had to give up.
No matter how much he worried, it was useless. If he didn't leave here, he would have no way to find the other person.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin turned his gaze to Nian Kong's body again.
There is no other place different from here, so the mechanism to leave here can only be on Niankong's body.
However, before investigating, he took out the Hanyue Sword and mobilized the power of his soul to chop at the wall.
After seeing that the wall could not be destroyed, he took a breath and took two steps forward.
After thinking about it, he did not continue to approach, but raised the Hanyue Sword high, intending to chop the opponent's body into pieces first to prevent any traps.
“You’re here!”
At this moment, Nian Kong's eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at Chen Lin and spoke calmly.
Chen Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party was not dead!
He reacted immediately, became alert and vigilant, and then asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
Nian Kong put down his clasped hands and said calmly, "Donor, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? Since you can come here, you should know who I am."
Chen Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.
He continued, "Who are you? If you don't tell me, don't blame me for taking action!"
After saying this, the Hanyue Sword shone brightly.
Seeing this, Niankong turned his wrist and turned his palm upward, revealing a Buddhist bead in his palm, which was the one that Chen Lin had placed in the Buddha statue.
"I am me, but you may not be you."
Chen Lin frowned, but didn't really make a move. He just stared at the other person closely.
"It's you, isn't it? What are you going to do?"
As soon as the other party said this, Chen Lin knew that all his involvement with the Demon-Suppressing Temple was caused by the other party.
In the ancient temple of Guyuan City, when he used the other party's relics, everything was doomed.
Niankong glanced at the Buddhist beads in his hand and said in a hollow voice: "It's me, and it's not me."
"What's the meaning?"
Seeing that the other party was willing to explain, Chen Lin calmed down and listened.
But Niankong did not continue speaking, but changed the subject and said, "My cassock is still there, right?"
Chen Lin didn't say anything.
But my mind was filled with thoughts.
The other party even knew about the cassock, so it was definitely Nian Kong from Guyuan City.
But the other party was clearly just a skeleton at the beginning, and the relics were also refined and absorbed by him. How did he come back to life and run here
Could it be that the other party's soul was still there and had been hiding nearby
Or does the other party also have a secret method similar to the soul-pulling method of the Xuanyin Patriarch, which can create infinite clones and obtain the memories of the clones
Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of the Soul-Devouring Buddha who had come to him twice.
"You are the demon monk who broke through to the divine transformation realm after the great war between gods and demons, right?"
Chen Lin asked tentatively.
According to Fairy Baihua and others, the owner of the Soul-Devouring Buddha is a monk from the Demon-Suppressing Temple who has already fallen into the path of evil. The existence of the Soul-Devouring Buddha is very much like a created clone.
Nian Kong raised his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "It's me, and it's not me."
This time, without waiting for Chen Lin to speak, he continued, "Give me the cassock quickly, otherwise I won't be able to suppress the demonic energy in my body. Once I become a demon, neither you nor I can leave here."
Chen Lin didn't move.
He didn't even take out his robes.
If he had come here before entering the Demon Temple in the Demon Realm, he would definitely believe the other party, but Nian Kong from the Demon Realm gave him a sense of evil. On the contrary, Nian Qing, who was called a traitor by the other party, gave him a cause and effect sword, so he really couldn't tell who was real and who was fake.
"What are you waiting for? Don't you want to leave? This Demon Suppression Tower has been invaded by the aura of the ancient demon world. There's no telling when the demonic energy will erupt. By then, I will be transformed into a demon, and your Demon Suppression Ring will not be able to suppress the demon in my body. I will become a parasite of the Heavenly Demon!"
Seeing that Chen Lin was slow to move, Nian Kong's tone became a little turbulent.
Immediately, black energy emerged from his body and his face became distorted.
Just as Chen Lin was horrified and hurriedly took a defensive stance, the Buddhist beads in the other party's palm suddenly lit up with a golden light, and the black energy was suppressed again.
Then, Niankong put his palms together again and chanted the Buddhist scriptures continuously.
It took a long time before he opened his eyes again and his voice returned to normal.
"I have been under the attack of evil thoughts for too long, and a hole has appeared in my mind, which makes the owner embarrassed."
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and ignored Chen Lin.
This made Chen Lin not know what to do.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Master, please don't blame me. My experience is really too bizarre, so I can't fully trust you. I hope you can give me a reason to believe you."
There is no way out here. Even if you don't trust the other party, you can only look for a way out from them.
Nian Kong did not open his eyes, but slowly shook his head and said, "It's too late."
Chen Lin's heart sank, thinking that the other party was angry because he didn't take out the cassock and wanted to attack him.
But immediately the other party's words rang out again, "You are late."
Nian Kong opened his eyes and sighed, "I thought I was fine, but what happened just now made me realize that the evil thoughts have unknowingly invaded my soul. Now even the cassock is useless."
Seeing Chen Lin's face change and he was about to speak, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Time is running out, listen to me."
Chen Lin immediately swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
At this time, he began to believe that the Niankong in front of him was real.
Nian Kong glanced at the Buddhist beads in his hand again, and then said: "In the world of the heavens, there are a total of nine of my clones. If you carry the cassock, you will meet me by chance. But I am not sure whether the clones have transformed into demons, and I don't know where they are. You must find any clone that has not transformed into a demon before all the clones have transformed into demons, and give him the cassock."
After a pause, he continued, "Back then, a great change occurred in the Demon Suppression Temple. The suppressed demons attacked back and caused the inheritance to be cut off. You have been contaminated by karma. Only by finding my normal clone and letting him use the power of the cassock to reshape the Buddha body can your karma be erased. Otherwise, with your ability, you will never be able to get rid of the entanglement of the demons."
At this point, Nian Kong glanced at Chen Lin again and said, "You have been planted with a demon seed. The other party may also want to use your existence to completely kill me. I will lend you a hand and send you to a special place. The energy there is strange, and with your demon-suppressing ring, it should be able to slowly eliminate the demon seed in your body."
Chen Lin couldn't tell whether the other party's words were true or false.
However, there is no other choice at the moment. We can only take it one step at a time and wait and see until the other party lets him go first.
Thinking of this, he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you very much, Master. If I can destroy the demon species, I will follow your instructions and complete your request as soon as possible."
"hey-hey."
At this moment, Nian Kong, who had a calm expression just now, suddenly had a distorted expression and laughed.
Even his voice became eerie, and he said with a strong sense of sarcasm: "Don't bother, your clones have all been destroyed. I didn't expect the last one to hide here, so just dissipate completely!"
As the voice sounded, bursts of black gas emerged from Nian Kong's body again.
Chen Lin's expression suddenly turned ugly. He didn't expect that the other party would behave abnormally at this critical moment, and seemed to be dominated by evil thoughts.
But before he could think about it, he saw the Buddhist beads in Niankong's hand glowing with golden light again, but this time the golden light was much weaker, covering only half of the opponent's body.
Suppressed by the golden light, Nian Kong regained his clarity of mind again, and then spoke calmly to Chen Lin with a resolute look on his face.
"Draw your knife at me!"
