The two of them stopped as they walked and soon passed through several passages.
After asking indirectly, Chen Lin got to know a little about the situation outside.
It turned out that just recently, the ancient temple at the ancient cultivator's cave was finally broken into. Because there were foundation-building cultivators on the scene, it was naturally not the turn of the Qi-cultivating cultivators to obtain the treasures. So the foundation-building cultivators were the first to enter the ancient temple.
But just after all the foundation-building practitioners entered the temple, a huge change suddenly occurred. The temple disappeared all of a sudden, and then Zhao Mengru and other Qi-cultivating practitioners were inexplicably teleported to this underground cave.
Judging from the time, it should be when he was in the underground river, and he was teleported in with these people.
After learning about this, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel very depressed.
He had endured for so long not coming to this ancient cultivator's cave, but he didn't expect that he would come in the end.
"careful!"
While thinking, Chen Lin suddenly felt the jade talisman on his chest move strangely, and hurriedly spoke out to remind him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mengru immediately turned around and hid behind Chen Lin.
She was frightened by the red shadow and didn't care about her face anymore, as long as she was not possessed.
Besides, as a woman, there is nothing shameful about her being protected by a man.
Chen Lin grinned. They really used him as a shield.
But it’s better this way, it will be easier for him to deal with the unpossessed Red Shadow.
At this moment, a red light suddenly flashed in the passage, and then a red shadow flashed in front of Chen Lin, and was about to pounce on him with an evil aura!
Because Zhao Mengru was beside him, Chen Lin did not take out the jade talisman and allowed Hongying to approach.
This way, the opponent would not be able to determine his means of dealing with Red Shadow, lest he lose his mind because of the treasure.
In this environment, it is very easy to be tempted by the magical weapon that can resist and kill the red shadow. Even if the other party has sworn an oath to destroy his inner demon, one must still be on guard.
It was not until the red shadow pounced on him that the jade talisman automatically activated and emitted a white light.
This time it was even more direct and violent. The red shadow immediately turned into a wisp of black smoke, and the granular crystals fell down and were caught in Chen Lin's hands.
This made Chen Lin overjoyed, and the power of the jade talisman increased again!
Zhao Mengru watched the whole process of Chen Lin killing the red shadow. The action was so effortless, as if killing an ant, that she was deeply shocked. She knew how difficult the red shadow was.
Not to mention that she herself almost lost her life. When she was teleported in just now, she witnessed with her own eyes how a disciple who had reached the perfection of Qi training in a major sect in Pingyang City went mad and died, and even killed two cultivators in the late stage of Qi training in a crazy state.
But the other party didn't seem to care at all.
Although she was shocked, Zhao Mengru did not ask any more questions. She just praised him and said, "Chen Daoyou is very tactful!"
Chen Lin smiled and said, "It's just a spell that specifically targets evil creatures. It's no different from the Evil-Slaying Talisman, but it's more convenient. There are many such spells in Wufang Temple."
Since you have agreed to team up with the other party, this method cannot be hidden. The only thing you can do is to make the other party mistakenly believe that you are using magic instead of magic weapons.
Zhao Mengru was stunned when she heard this, and said thoughtfully: "So fellow Taoist has a relationship with the Taoist priests of Wufang Temple. Could he also be an official practitioner?"
Chen Lin immediately shook his head. "That's not the case. I'm just a casual cultivator. As for the friendship with the Taoists in Wufang Temple, I do have a little bit."
Zhao Mengru suddenly realized, "No wonder, the Taoists in Wufang Temple are the best at restraining evil spirits. I also wanted to exchange some similar spells with them before, but unfortunately I didn't succeed."
After saying this, she looked at Chen Lin with some envy, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Chen Lin said hurriedly: "Although I have obtained the magic, I have also sworn an oath not to pass it on to others. After all, Wufang Temple is under the jurisdiction of the government, and the management in this regard is very strict."
The expectation in Zhao Mengru's eyes turned into disappointment, but she also knew that the things in Wufang Temple would not be passed on casually, and the oath of the inner demon was also as it should be.
After explaining it, Chen Lin still felt helpless.
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. If he didn't want to use the other party's identity to develop in Pingyang City, he really didn't want to continue teaming up with the other party.
Of course, forming a team is not completely without benefits for him. His jade talisman can restrain the red shadow evil creature, but it has no effect on other monsters, and is completely useless in battles between monks.
There seems to be quite a few monks in this underground cave. Once encountered, the presence of two people will always make those with bad intentions more fearful.
Just as Chen Lin was thinking of this, he heard footsteps coming from the other side of the passage.
He glanced at Zhao Mengru, gave her a look, and indicated to leave in the opposite direction.
But before he could take any action, he heard footsteps coming from another direction.
There are people on both sides!
This made Chen Lin suddenly become a little nervous. He frowned and placed the flying sword in front of his chest, observing vigilantly.
Zhao Mengru also released her flying sword, looking alert.
Soon, the monks on both sides came closer.
Chen Lin saw that there were two monks coming in front of him, a man and a woman. The man was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face, and the woman was a young woman with an ordinary appearance, carrying a package across her body.
There was only one person on the other side. In the dim light, I could see that it was a man in a white robe. Upon closer inspection, I actually recognized him.
It was the young man in white robe from Majiazhuang!
This person was actually here, and he met him by chance, which made Chen Lin secretly feel unlucky.
The other party has a special relationship with Luo Ziqing. If the other party discovers his identity, it might be troublesome.
The three parties all noticed each other's presence and stood in the corridor staring at each other.
Suddenly, the young man in a white robe from the Ma family stepped forward, bowed to the honest middle-aged man, and said, "I am Ma Yu from Majiazhuang in Guyuan City. This fellow Taoist looks very familiar, but is he fellow Taoist Lu from Lu Zifeng in Mingyue City?"
The honest man was startled for a moment, but immediately said with a happy expression: "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ma. Last time I went to Majiazhuang to buy elixirs, I was so grateful for your care that you actually remembered me."
Chen Lin had been watching coldly, and at this moment his expression changed slightly.
These two people actually know each other!
But he was not too worried. Now that he had changed into a disguise mask, as long as the other party had not used advanced detection spells such as sensing to remember his aura, he should not be able to recognize him.
Ma Yu smiled slightly and nodded, "Of course I remember. Fellow Daoist Lu is a distinguished guest of our village, how could I forget? I am not good at other things, but I remember people very accurately."
After saying that, he turned his gaze and fell on Chen Lin.
"Am I right, Chen Daoyou?"
Chen Lin's heart sank. The other party actually remembered him and was able to recognize him even though he was wearing a disguise mask!
Although he was horrified in his heart, his face remained calm.
He revealed a trace of amazement and praised, "Mr. Ma is indeed a discerning person. I only went to your manor to buy the juice of Ganyun grass once, and you remembered it. It's really unexpected!"
Since the other party even pointed out his last name, there was no point in pretending to be ignorant, so he just admitted it generously.
Buying Ganyuncao juice is not something worth paying attention to. As long as the other party cannot be sure that Luo Ziqing was killed by him, there will be no problem.
"Haha, I only have this little bit of talent. I am sorry to make you laugh."
Ma Yu smiled, and suddenly stared at the flying sword in Chen Lin's hand and asked in confusion: "Daoyou's flying sword looks very familiar, I wonder if you can introduce it to me, where did you get it from?"
