"Senior, I..."
Tong Qi was speechless for a moment.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice came over: "Senior, please don't embarrass him. There is indeed a temple nearby. I saw it too."
Immediately afterwards, a slightly embarrassed figure walked out of the woods. It was Chen Zhou.
"Oh?" Karen li looked at him.
"Just a few hours ago, I was commanding Lingka to fight a halberd-wielding ghost general. Suddenly, I felt a little heartburn. I subconsciously glanced over here and saw a big locust tree that was burning all over. There was also a strange little temple underneath it."
"But when I finished the battle and was ready to come over to take a look, the locust tree and the small temple were nowhere to be seen. I looked around but found nothing. Then, I ran into you guys."
As Chen Zhou explained, he touched the trunk of a locust tree next to the grave and couldn't help but frowned:
It has been raining non-stop in the Montenegro area these past two days, but the trees do not feel moist at all. Instead, they feel dry and hot, as if there is a flame burning in the "heart of the tree" out of thin air.
This feeling was quite similar to his situation at that time.
After his mind raced, he poured his mental energy into exploring the tree, but found nothing.
"Chen Zhou?"
Karen li looked at him leaning on the tree with one hand, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.
Chen Zhou changed the subject and said, "It is said that thunderstorms can affect the magnetic field, causing some relics to change. I think the temple's appearance and disappearance is probably due to this reason."
"That's indeed the case..." Karen li said, "But if that's the case, the temple might not appear in the world for a year or two, so Zhou Chuan won't be able to come out?"
"Brother Chuan?" Chen Zhou almost blurted out these two words, but swallowed them back and said, "Large ruins like this usually have more than one entrance and exit. Many people say that there is something wrong with that tunnel. Why don't we go there and take a look?"
After hearing these words, Karen li finally calmed down.
She took over one of the five major academies in Kyushu from her parents at a young age. She has been studying card making and mental training for many years. Her strength is not inferior to those old guys, and her state of mind is also extraordinary.
But now that he puts on this mask, while his combat power is enhanced, he is also affected by the crazy emotions in the mask and his intelligence is lowered. His thinking is extremely confused and he needs a military advisor right now.
As a result, Chen Zhou was drafted into the army, and his reward was 1,000 summer camp points.
"Dean, I'll go with you too." Tong Qi said, "I just witnessed Brother Chuan's battle with the locust tree demon, and I've also seen that small temple. Maybe it can be of some help to you!"
Hearing this, Karen li said "hmm" softly.
"Are there any points rewards?" Tong Qi asked in a low voice.
"It depends on your performance." Karen li said as she flew straight into the sky, and then two black shadows appeared out of thin air, grabbing the collars of the second and third place winners and following closely.
Tong Qi was a little "airsick", but Chen Zhou didn't care at all, his mind was full of the fire.
"What on earth is that?" Chen Zhou covered his chest and murmured in a troubled look.
…
At the same time, in the Black Mountain ruins.
After finishing the adjustment, Zhou Chuan subconsciously looked up at the sky, and saw three figures faintly appearing above the sky that was like the rushing Yellow River.
The image is turbid and unclear.
He was too lazy to figure out what was going on and just called Hei Wuchang to find out what was going on.
"Eighth Master, how could this Wrongful Death City..." Zhou Chuan said, and suddenly thought of the strange scene in which Eighth Master suddenly stopped talking, so he asked, "What is the rule of the Black Mountain Ghost King?"
"When there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king." Hei Wuchang smiled coldly and said, "This is only the case now. If it were in the past, I could catch him with one hand!"
But the next moment, he looked at his hands, robes, and weapons, and whispered, "But now, I can't guarantee that I can definitely take him down."
"If that guy just occupied the City of the Dead with brute force, it would be fine. But I'm afraid he has already gained the power of this big city. If that is the case, unless a judge takes action or my brothers all regain their spiritual consciousness, this battle may not be easy to fight..."
Zhou Chuan fell silent after hearing this.
Even the straightforward and aggressive Eighth Master said so. It seems that the foundation of the Black Mountain Ghost King is even stronger than he expected.
But due to various restrictions, he is the only one who can fight this battle.
In that case, it will take some more planning...
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind, and Zhou Chuan couldn't help but ask, "Eighth Master, if the Black Mountain Ghost King really had the authority over the City of Wrongful Death, he could have taken action directly when we first came in. Why would he have to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"You don't know that the area we are currently in is adjacent to the Blood Basin Realm of Suffering. Although it is close to the City of Wrongful Death, it is not under its jurisdiction. Even if the so-called Black Mountain Ghost King has obtained the power, he cannot attack here from a distance." Hei Wuchang explained patiently.
"So that's how it is." Zhou Chuan said suddenly.
"You don't have to worry too much." Master Ba comforted him softly, "In my opinion, the arrangements you made are very comprehensive. With the six of us protecting him, it won't be a big problem to capture him."
"Even if something unexpected happens, as long as I haven't completely changed back to my original state, I can send you back to the mortal world at any time."
"In your words, if you can't win, you can always run away."
Zhou Chuan couldn't help but smile when he heard that: "I don't think it will get to that point. The Black Mountain Ghost King has probably used up most of his tricks against the ghost beast tide, the fake Wuchang, the locust tree demon, and the mourner. The next time, he will probably have to do it himself."
"The matter between us, if we use the words in the novel, is called 'the dispute of the road'. As long as I am still here, no matter sooner or later, he will come eventually."
As Zhou Chuan finished speaking, Master Ba's reaction was somewhat fierce: "A fight on the path of Taoism? He is not worthy of it!"
Seeing the other party's cold eyes, Zhou Chuan didn't say much. He just stood up and moved around. He heard the conversation between Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia.
Just like some people like to turn on the TV before going to bed, the conversation between these two people added a lot of vitality to this underworld and made people feel extremely at ease.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the temple.
"I'm a passerby who wants to stay overnight in the temple. Is there anyone here?"
An old voice came in immediately, and without Zhou Chuan's command, Ning Caichen and Yan Chixia had already responded.
"I'll open the door."
Ning Caichen brushed the dirt off his white robe, stood up, and was about to open the door.
"slow!"
Yan Chixia grabbed his wrist at this moment, his eyes as sharp as lightning: "Where did so many passers-by come from in this desolate mountain? I'm afraid it's some mountain spirit or monster bewitching people. I'll go and take a look!"
As he said this, he walked over with the sword case under his arms.
