Inside the cave.
Chen Lin looked at the floating black book and his expression quickly returned to calm.
The Demon-Suppressing Temple did cast a shadow on his cultivation process, but he is no longer the low-level cultivator he was back then. Let alone a mere item related to the Demon-Suppressing Temple, even if Nian Kong stood in front of him, he would not be as panicked and frightened as before.
But what he couldn’t understand was that this place was related to the Demon-Suppressing Temple, so was it also related to Madam Miaoyin
And why did Niankong have to be so deliberate and pester him
If he wanted him to help find his clone and get rid of his evil thoughts in the past, it would be understandable. But now he has severed all ties with the Demon-Suppressing Temple, the demons have been destroyed, his robes have been thrown away, and even his Vajra body has been abolished. It would be meaningless even if he finds his clone.
Could it be that there are still some marks on my body that have not been removed
After looking for a while, Chen Lin withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it.
It is still unclear whether this Demon-Suppressing Sutra is related to the Demon-Suppressing Temple.
Even if the other party is really lingering around, but you dare not confront him head-on, and just hide in the dark and act sneakily, there is nothing to be afraid of, just treat it with a normal mind.
Now we need to think about how to get out of here.
No matter who led him to this place, or whether there was no mastermind behind the scenes, his coming here was just an accident, but since he came in, he can definitely get out.
Now he has two choices. One is to attack the book with Thor's Sword and see what happens.
The other thing is to wait.
Waiting for the book to change on its own, and also waiting for Gegeyun to return to the pasture.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Lin decided to continue waiting.
Anyway, it's a matter of practicing anywhere. He has already made an agreement with Zi Shu on the Tiancang Realm that even if he can't go back, if the Immortal Palace is finished refining, the ten places to leave will be given to his family, so there is no need to worry.
And according to Zi Shu, even if the Immortal Palace is refined, it will take a long time for the damaged spirit to recover.
This will be a long process, at least over a hundred years, or even hundreds or thousands of years. That is why he was unwilling to waste time and came up with the idea of exploring the rules and patterns.
Moreover, if someone deliberately brought him here, it must be because they wanted him to do something, and he couldn't be led by the other party.
After making the decision, Chen Lin calmed down and immersed himself in cultivation.
Xiao Cao did the same, accompanying him and quietly comprehending the swordsmanship.
The master and servant were like ascetics. Apart from paying attention to the changes in the books once a year and routinely entering Baiyun Ranch, they spent the rest of their time practicing.
Time flies, and a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.
Since he entered the world of cultivation, Chen Lin has rarely had such a quiet opportunity to practice. He took this opportunity to summarize his own path of cultivation and comprehend some important spells to perfection. In particular, the problems that had previously caused his Taoist magic to become unstable due to the use of the Asking Stone to force the growth of the spells were also solved one by one.
Although his cultivation level has not improved much, all aspects have been consolidated, making his foundation more solid.
Xiaocao's swordsmanship has also greatly improved, especially the immortal sword technique, which has already possessed the charm of the original white-clothed immortal shadow. With one sword strike, even the green vine shield can be cut with deep sword marks.
This day.
After Chen Lin comprehended the Five Thunders spell, he returned to Baiyun Ranch as usual to check.
Then, Fat Tiger was seen standing obediently beside a snow-white goat, fanning it with a palm-leaf fan.
His eyes suddenly brightened.
"Master, you are back!"
Chen Lin quickly came to the snow-white goat and showed a genuine joy.
"Humph, as a shepherd, you left your post without permission. Do you know your crime?"
When Gege Yun saw Chen Lin, her expression changed instantly and she shouted angrily.
Chen Lin was speechless. He thought to himself, I was not a willing shepherd in the first place. I was deceived by you. You left for two or three hundred years and didn't care about the ranch. Now you still have the nerve to question me
Of course, he was just thinking about it. Now was the time to ask for help, and he couldn't lose his identity as a shepherd, otherwise he would not be able to enter this scene, and he would really be trapped in the dungeon.
So he immediately explained: "Master, please calm down. It's not that I didn't obey your orders. It's just that my strength is low and I can't bear the erosion of the demonic energy here all the time. Moreover, I am trapped in a special place now. I dare not stay in the ranch for a long time, otherwise my body will be in danger."
"Humph, quibbling!"
Gege Yunyang glared at Chen Lin and did not accept what he said at all.
Then he said in a cold voice: "Not only have you deserted your post, but over the years, the ranch has not even had an increase in sheep. How can I, the ranch owner, put my face on the ground?"
Chen Lin couldn't bear the blame, so he said, "The owner of the ranch has wronged me. After you left, the node connecting the ranch to the outside world disappeared, and I couldn't bring anyone to the ranch!"
Gege Yunnu's expression froze for a moment, but she immediately shouted, "I don't care, it's all your fault. Now go get me some high-quality sheep, otherwise the ranch will be downgraded and you will be responsible for it!"
Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.
No wonder the other party suddenly came back, it turned out that the level of the ranch was about to drop.
He didn't know what the consequences would be if the ranch's grade was downgraded, and he didn't want to take any responsibility, so he tried to shirk it.
Suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he asked tentatively, "What high-quality sheep do you mean?"
Gege Yun glanced at them and said, "Of course, it refers to high-level creatures. The higher the level of the captured creatures, the better the quality of the sheep they will become, and the higher the level of the ranch will be."
Chen Lin pondered for a moment, then asked, "I wonder if this level refers to cultivation, or other aspects?"
He still needed the other person's help, so his tone was very respectful.
Gege Yun was quite satisfied with Chen Lin's attitude, and did not scold him anymore. He waved his hoof and said, "The ranch has limited space, and we don't need ordinary sheep to join. No matter how many ordinary sheep we have, they are useless. What the owner needs now is high-level sheep, so we have to capture high-level life forms!"
Chen Lin showed a look of understanding and said, "I understand now. The one you are referring to should be a high-level life form like Luo, right?"
Gege Yun's momentum weakened, and she said unhappily: "Luo De's level is too high. Even if the clone is remnant, the rules of the demon world cannot suppress it. If you come in, it's not that the other party will become a sheep, but that you and I will be assimilated by the other party."
After a pause, he continued, "It doesn't need to be too advanced. Some special spirits, ancient spirit beasts, and some special evil spirits and weird things will do."
"oh."
Chen Lin looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
Then he said, "Your Excellency, I am now trapped in a strange place. There is a precious book called the Demon Suppression Sutra, which seems to suppress something. However, my strength is low, and I have not been able to figure it out for more than a hundred years. Why don't you go and take a look yourself?"
After saying that, he looked at the other person with anticipation.
Gege Yun sneered and said, "If you want help, just tell me directly. I will definitely help you!"
Chen Lin didn't care that his intention was exposed, and simply clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir!"
Gege Yun rolled her eyes, shook her head, and a red flower on her head flew in front of Chen Lin.
"Take this back and use your soul power to stimulate it. I will be there soon!"
Chen Lin was overjoyed and immediately took the flower in his hand and pushed it away.
Inside the cave.
After Chen Lin opened his eyes, he immediately looked at his hand and saw the red flower being brought out. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that his choice to wait was correct, and he finally got Gege Yun back.
Even if the other party is helpless against the Demon-Suppressing Sutra, at least they can bring his real body to the ranch. Then he can use the excuse of searching for higher-level life forms to get the other party to send him to the Taiqing Mountain scene, and his crisis will be resolved.
However, the other party still needs a medium to come here, and his strength is much weaker than Niu Niu's. Niu Niu can break through the space and take him away anytime and anywhere.
"Master, what is this?"
When Xiaocao saw the red flower in Chen Lin's hand, she immediately asked.
Chen Lin smiled and said, "Princess Gege Yun is back, we can leave now!"
"ah!"
Xiaocao suddenly showed excitement.
No matter how much she could endure loneliness, after staying here for more than a hundred years, she had already had enough.
Chen Lin did the same. He immediately came to an open area, activated his soul seed, and injected his soul power into the red flower.
The red flower then emitted a ball of red light, and Gege Yun's snow-white sheep body appeared within the red light.
The light dissipated, and the red flower had returned to Gegeyun's head.
She looked around first, then her eyes fell on the floating books.
"Sir, this is the book. It emits light at a fixed time every year for three breaths. At the same time, the entire cave will vibrate. It is very likely that it is suppressing something."
Chen Lin immediately explained the situation.
Gege Yun withdrew his gaze from the book and looked at the ground, saying coldly: "It's not possible, it's certain!"
After saying that, he stomped the ground hard.
A look of horror suddenly appeared in Chen Lin's eyes. He saw that the ground, which could not be broken by any other treasure except the Thunder God's Sword, was actually stepped on by the other party to create a big hole. Moreover, the aftermath of energy continued, and cracks extended into the distance.
"boom!"
Gege Yun stepped again.
The already cracked ground suddenly began to fly into pieces, and finally with a loud bang, the entire ground collapsed completely.
Chen Lin floated in the air with Xiao Cao, looking down with an expressionless face.
After the collapse, a huge underground space was revealed. Opposite the location of the Demon-Suppressing Sutra, there was a huge black lotus platform. On the lotus platform sat a skinny old monk, motionless, like a corpse.
His facial expression was exactly that of Nian Kong!
“You’re finally here!”
At this moment, Nian Kong suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chen Lin and made a dry sound.
Chen Lin did not answer, but looked at Gege Yun and said respectfully: "My Lord, do you think this evil thing can meet your requirements?"
He had guessed before that there might be a clone of Nian Kong here, and the function of the Demon-Suppressing Sutra should be to suppress this clone.
That's why he lured Gege Yun here, hoping that she could bring the lingering monk to the ranch.
He wanted to see if this guy could still be mysterious after turning into a sheep!
