Chapter 148 Sneaking into Shaoyang Temple
Chapter 148 Sneaking into Shaoyang Temple
late at night.
Ruined temple.
Quiet.
Yuan Lu and Lin Chengmo had already gone to bed and were snoring softly.
Zhong Shuo's eyes were closed, floating quietly in the air, his body looking increasingly illusory.
Gu Yue leaned against the wall, sitting upright on a makeshift mattress, his eyes wide open like copper bells. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was attracted and continuously absorbed by him, while milky white spiritual power continuously emanated from his body.
Although she had been with Zhong Shuo for a short period of time, Gu Yue was no longer that afraid of him.
But she still didn't dare to close her eyes in such an environment with the company of a "ghost", and even had to glance at Zhong Shuo's position from time to time to make sure he didn't move.
Taixu Lingdiao lay quietly in Gu Yue's arms, seemingly sleeping soundly, but in fact it was absorbing the spiritual power that continued to dissipate from Gu Yue.
"Junior sister, you...didn't sleep all night?"
The next morning, Yuan Lu looked at Gu Yue, whose face was haggard, and felt amused but also a little distressed.
Gu Yue's face was full of resentment.
Zhong Shuo on the side hurriedly waved his hands, trying to distance himself from the matter, "It's none of my business, I was practicing all night!"
"Shut up, you!"
Gu Yue said angrily.
It was precisely because Zhong Shuo had been practicing meditation the entire night that the dilapidated temple was almost filled with the cold and gloomy air emanating from him. The strong cold and gloomy air made the dilapidated temple even more terrifying.
"Incomprehensible!"
Being scolded for no reason, Zhong Shuo snorted coldly, turned away and ignored Gu Yue.
Seeing this, Yuan Lu and Lin Chengmo were helpless. One started packing, and the other started preparing food silently.
Soon, several people left the ruined temple together, and under the leadership of Zhong Shuo, they rushed in a certain direction.
...
About two hours later, they stopped at the foot of a mountain that towered into the clouds.
Looking at the extremely high mountain in front of him, Gu Yue narrowed his eyes slightly, rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and said in a concentrated voice: "We are just helping. If things are impossible, don't think that we will follow you all the way to the end!"
"rest assured!"
Zhong Shuo's illusory figure sat cross-legged on the bluestone and responded without turning his head.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, he took out many items from his small box, such as incense, candles, yellow paper, etc., and seemed to be muttering something.
Gu Yue resisted the urge to burn some paper money for him and turned to look at Lin Chengmo, "You don't have anything to save your life with you. If you are discovered, you will be the first to die. Don't follow them. Stay here to provide support."
"I..."
"Okay, let's do it this way. Otherwise, if we encounter some uncontrollable situations, I will have to distract myself from taking care of you!"
Lin Chengmo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gu Yue.
It would be fine if Yuan Lu went with them.
If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is to just give Shaoyang Temple a sword.
But Lin Chengmo didn't even have a decent robe. If their whereabouts were really discovered, even without the intervention of a Jinyuan Realm expert, just a few Hualing Realm experts might be able to take his life.
Lin Chengmo frowned, looking displeased.
But Gu Yue's tone that did not allow for negotiation made him swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and he stepped aside and remained silent.
After sending Lin Chengmo away, Gu Yue reached out and gently stroked the Taixu Lingmarsh in her arms.
Taixu Lingdiao, in the form of a kitten, narrowed his eyes slightly and accepted Gu Yue's touch with great enjoyment. Without anyone noticing, several extremely obscure rays of light were flickering faintly inside Gu Yue's clothes and on the surface of her skin.
After a while, in the shocked eyes of Gu Yue and the others, Zhong Shuo's figure and the many objects in front of him disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never appeared in this space. No matter how Gu Yue and the others used their spiritual sense to search for Zhong Shuo's trace, they found nothing.
"Become a living person?"
As soon as Gu Yue finished speaking, a piece of yellow paper covered with runes suddenly floated out from the space beside him and landed in front of him.
The sudden appearance of the yellow paper scared Gu Yue. After he came to his senses, he pinched the yellow paper with one hand and looked at the contents on the paper curiously.
The yellow paper was covered with densely packed runes that seemed to be covered with incense ash, which Gu Yue could not understand.
However, what puzzled Gu Yue was that after observing for a long time, she did not feel any energy fluctuation on the yellow paper.
Just when Gu Yue thought that Zhong Shuo was fooling her with a piece of waste paper, three more pieces of yellow paper floated out without any movement in the space around him, flying towards Yuan Lu and Lin Chengmo, and even the Taixu Lingmarten in Gu Yue's arms got one.
Then Zhong Shuo's somewhat ethereal voice sounded in the ears of several people, "Inject your own spiritual power into the rune, and you can activate this thing."
Upon hearing this, they were curious and the spiritual power in their bodies rushed out and flowed into the yellow paper in their hands.
The next moment, Gu Yue was the only one left at the foot of the mountain, twisting yellow paper in one hand, holding the "air" in the other, and looking around with a twitching mouth.
After Gu Yue swallowed a pill, he finally had some spiritual power available. When he injected it into the yellow paper, the yellow paper in his hand suddenly flashed in his hand. In his shocked perception, the runes on it instantly shone and covered his body.
When Gu Yue's body also disappeared from the spot, Zhong Shuo's voice rang out again, "Don't move!"
As soon as Zhong Shuo finished speaking, several people almost simultaneously felt a burning sensation suddenly approaching their eyebrows.
Fortunately, the burning sensation did not show any aggressiveness.
After a moment, the figures of several people reappeared in their respective sights.
It was still the same position as before, but this time, there was a strange rune drawn with incense ash between everyone's eyebrows.
After doing all this, Zhong Shuo's eyes swept over Gu Yue and the other person.
After getting Gu Yue's affirmative answer, his body moved slightly and disappeared from the spot in an instant. When he reappeared, he had already gone a long distance away from the boss.
Seeing this, Gu Yue and the other person looked at each other and quickly followed Zhong Shuo's pace.
At the foot of the mountain, Lin Chengmo looked at the backs of several people leaving, sighed, and then could only sit down cross-legged helplessly. However, he did not enter the state of cultivation. He released his spiritual consciousness and stared at the mountain ahead, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
On the mountainside, Gu Yue and the other person dived into the corner of the barrier that Zhong Shuo had broken, and the scene before them suddenly changed.
At this time, when they looked up, they could already see some of the appearance of Shaoyang Temple.
It was not much different from what Gu Yue had imagined. There were many buildings in red and yellow, scattered all over the mountain, stretching all the way to the top of the mountain.
It was noon at this time. Under the blazing sun, the whole mountain seemed to be covered with a layer of divine light. Accompanied by bursts of Buddhist chants, this place seemed particularly solemn, and people could not help but feel a bit of awe.
After breaking through the barrier, Zhong Shuo suddenly stood there in a daze, his eyes closed.
After a while, he seemed to have finally calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, a fierce look flashed in them.
"go!"
Gu Yue and the other person nodded slightly and followed Zhong Shuo's steps.
Mysterious runes were flowing on their bodies, and not only was the aura of Gu Yue and the other person completely suppressed within their bodies, but even their every move seemed to merge into the void, and even the wind resistance seemed to be blocked.
【What a great thing...】
Gu Yue said in her heart.
Now that the matter is settled, we must get a few more pieces of yellow paper from Zhong Shuo.
This thing is a must-have for traveling around the world and killing people and setting fires!
Thinking this in his mind, Gu Yue became more and more shocked.
Just when I was thinking about things, Zhong Shuo actually brought two people and swaggered across a training square.
Hundreds of bald heads covered with sweat looked particularly dazzling under the direct sunlight!
Gu Yue and Yuan Lu looked at each other and saw some shock in each other's eyes.
As the three of them got deeper into the matter, Gu Yue’s expression became more and more solemn.
At this time, the aura floating around them was becoming stronger and stronger, already exceeding the realm of Yuandan.
It was not until he reached the corner of a hall near the top of the mountain that Zhong Shuo's wandering figure stopped at a corner.
"Guangmu Tianzun Hall..."
Looking at the huge plaque on the hall, Gu Yue narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"
Zhong Shuo approached the two of them and gestured, "The source of all living things is in the Guangmu Palace..."
Zhong Shuo pointed to a palace higher up and said softly, "You guys charge up your strongest moves later and attack that palace. I'll go get the source of all living things!"
Gu Yue glared at him, "You want us to die!"
Zhong Shuo shook his head. "Don't insist on destroying the hall. You can't do it. After one strike, you should flee immediately."
Hearing this, Gu Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and she began to consider the feasibility of this matter.
