disguised holy monk

It's only halfway through the night, and the puppets in the dense forest have long since disappeared, but even the rustling of the leaves in the wind is terrifying.

This time, everyone didn't dare to close their eyes to sleep anymore, and they kept watching the fire to prevent the flames from going out.

Waiting until the sky just revealed bright colors, everyone set off in a hurry.Bai Muzhi ordered everyone to tidy up the remaining equipment, and to be vigilant at all times in pairs.And the higher you go, the more rugged and cold the mountain road becomes.In the end, the mountains and forests have become covered with ice and snow, and the thick snow will sink deep once you step on it.

Jiang Qimo opened the way ahead, and it was a bit difficult for Xuanqing to walk step by step with Wuxin's support.

Wu Yuan didn't know when he also ran to them. He followed Xuan Qing with a big knife on his shoulders, frowned and strode up to him, muttering: "Can you do it? No, let me ..."

He wanted to say that he could help him, but the tone of his words was really unpleasant, and Wuxin was a little angry, so he interrupted him directly, "You really don't know what to do, my uncle saved your life last night!" He said After that, he squeezed Wu Yuan away.

Wu Yuan was pushed and staggered in the snow. After standing still, he couldn't help but feel angry, and his teeth creaked.It's just that Xuan Qing didn't say a word, and he seemed to be punched in the head again. In the end, he could only sip a mouthful of snow water in a suffocated anger and followed.

……

When everyone finally reached the top of the mountain, they were already exhausted.It was the afternoon at this time, and the skyline in the distance was very beautiful. The sun reflected on the snow, which seemed to be covered with a beautiful golden veil.

It's a pity... there is nothing here except snow and ice.

The big knife in Wu Yuan's hand went down and chopped off half a layer of ice, cursing angrily: "Damn it, are you kidding me? The bare top is all fucking snow, where is the treasure?"

Wu Yao also clenched his fists, glanced around, his eyes were dark.

Bai Muzhi searched the snow top, but found nothing.

The whole group was a little dazed and angry. Yan Fei's face was pale, as if thinking of her husband's hopelessness in waking up, she couldn't help but kneel down in the snow, muttering, "I can't find..."

Bai Muzhi looked at Xuan Qing and Jiang Qimo who had been silent all this time, "Master, it seems that we have been deceived, there is nothing here."

Xuan Qing shook his head, "This man paid such a high price to deceive us, is it just to trick us? This poor monk may not think so."

He said, paying attention to the sun in the sky, then looked at the snow under his feet, and said softly: "The rumor says that 'the sunset sees the afterglow, and the snow blooms to reveal the mountains'."

Xuan Qing said and looked at Bai Muzhi, "It seems that we have to wait here until night."

Bai Muzhi also thought of something, "Perhaps, the secret lies in the night."

However, some people were a little scared, and said tremblingly: "Leader, let's go back quickly, we can't find anything here, don't let it be night, those things that are neither human nor ghost are here again!"

Bai Muzhi and Xuan Qing looked at each other, then waved his hands and made a decision, "Since we've come, we must find out the truth. Find some branches to make torches, and we'll wait here until night."

Bai Muzhi was full of prestige, some people had to listen even if they were dissatisfied, they searched for materials one after another, and made torches before it was dark, just thinking about making more of this life-saving thing.

The setting sun was gradually setting, and the warm red light shone on the edge of the snow wall.

Xuanqing stood on the snow cliff, looking at the mountains in the distance. The top of the mountain was covered with snow, but the dense forest became more and more lush as it went down. It was really a strange sight.

Jiang Qimo draped a white velvet cloak over his monk clothes. Standing on the edge of the snow cliff, he looked like a jade sculpture of a fairy standing in the snow at first glance, but it seemed that the fairy was about to turn his feathers back in the next second.

Looking at Jiang Qimo from a distance, his heart tightened, and he hurried forward and reached out to grab his monk's robe.

Xuan Qing looked back at him, Qing Juan was puzzled, "Benefactor Jiang?"

"It's okay." Jiang Qimo let go of his hand expressionlessly, and slowly stepped forward to stand side by side with him, "Who do you think did it?"

Xuan Qing smiled, looked into the distance and sighed, "It doesn't matter who it is, it's a human anyway."

Neither of them spoke anymore, they just stood side by side on the edge of the cliff watching the snow.

In the distance behind them, Wu Yuan was holding a knife and spitting snow, humming softly: "A monk, what are you doing?"

After muttering in a low voice, he still wanted to make a light and durable torch for the monk, otherwise it would be too heavy and burn, and he couldn't hold it.

Soon, the sky darkened, and the rumored phrase "the sunset sees the afterglow, and the snow blooms to reveal the mountains" was not seen, but the rustling voices were getting closer and closer.

"coming……"

Bai Muzhi lowered his voice.

Because of the preparation, everyone has confidence this time, and everyone holds their breath and waits for the enemy to approach.

Just as the black shadows swarmed up, all the torches were ignited instantly, and everyone rushed up with a sword in one hand and a torch in one hand, catching the enemy by surprise.

Although these puppets are not afraid of swords, they are afraid of fire, and they will hurt if they get close, but for some reason, even though it is painful, they did not back down at all this time.

For a while, there was a clash of swords and swords, and there was chaos.

Jiang Qimo originally stood behind with Wu Xin protecting Xuan Qing, but now he had to join the battle.

Wuxin could only carefully protect Xuanqing with a torch.

The light of the fire reflected on the snow, and the screaming mixed with the light of the knife brought up a splash of blood, Xuan Qing could not help clasping his palms and closing his eyes and recited the Buddha's name, unable to bear to look any further.

Wu Yuan kicked over the nearby puppet, rushed over and shouted at Xuan Qing: "There are too many of these things, and they can't be killed by chopping them down. You guys go down the mountain first..."

Bai Muzhi also felt that it would be dangerous to continue like this tonight, so he could not help but order the Wu brothers to take a few people to send Xuanqing down the mountain first.

Wu Yao and Wu Yuan came over and pulled Xuanqing to send him away. At this moment, Xuanqing seemed to hear a sound coming from the ground.

"Wait." Xuan Qing looked carefully at his feet, as if he could feel the snow shaking.

Is it...

The next moment, the snow under their feet suddenly split, and the Wu brothers and Xuan Qing Wuxin fell down together with several disciples around them.

A flurry of snowflakes stuffed into his neck, Xuanqing's back felt a chill, but in the next instant he smashed into a huge pool.

Apart from a little dizziness and dizziness, it didn't hurt too much, but he struggled and couldn't stand up. The tentacles were soft liquid, and he could only float on his back.At this time, the cracks above seemed to be closing gradually.

Xuan Qing thumped in his heart, this is the pool of mercury, it is usually only used in major mausoleums to prevent tomb thieves, if they stay in it for a long time, I am afraid they will die of mercury poisoning.

The fear of floating on the huge pool of mercury makes people struggle unconsciously, just floating on it, without any point of leverage, and can't stand up at all.

All the frantic struggles were futile, and he couldn't even turn over.

Xuan Qing hurriedly reminded: "Everyone, don't panic, it's a pool of mercury, try to minimize contact and inhalation, wait until it floats to the side before climbing up..."

With his words, the crowd calmed down a little and didn't dare to move around. They just wanted to pull them to the side as they were floating, but suddenly there was a scream.Everyone only noticed the scattered blood and minced meat, followed by a rumbling sound. It turned out that there was a rotating long knife placed in this huge pool of mercury, which would be smashed if approached.

There were several screams one after another, and everyone's faces were pale.

Wu Yao and Wu Yuan were closest to the long knife at this time, and the tips of their noses seemed to be filled with a strong smell of blood.

And seeing that the crack at the top is about to close, lying still is death, struggling is also death, it is better to fight.Wu Yao began to struggle frantically.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he suddenly glanced at his brother beside him, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and finally turned into ruthlessness, "Brother, I'm sorry, brother will avenge you..."

Wu Yuan's expression changed drastically. Before he could speak in fear and anger, Wu Yao had already stretched out his hand to grab Wu Yuan on one side, and with his hands and feet leaped vigorously through his body, the whole person had already stood up from the ground, and stepped on him again. Twice the wall, then flew up to the high wall, and jumped out along the smaller and smaller gaps.

And Wu Yuan was stepped on by him, and his whole body sank into the pool of mercury. When he came out again, his mouth and nose had already started to bleed, and his whole body also floated towards the rotating long knife.

"Ah!..." He screamed, his left arm had been chopped off.

Seeing that his whole body was about to be wrung into it and turned into a piece of meat, suddenly a strong force grabbed his arm and made him stop within a short distance of the long knife.

Wu Yuan's forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes, mouth and nose were bleeding so that he could hardly see the person in front of him clearly, but the faint trace of sandalwood let him know who was holding him.

He suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, which was unbearably sore.

His brother had just abandoned him, and the moment of extreme anger and discomfort had not had time to vent before he was on the verge of death.But now, the monk who has been underestimated by him has saved him again...

Xuan Qing breathed a sigh of relief, just now Wu Xin had drifted out of the mercury pond, was holding him with one hand, and he was holding Wu Yuan again, the three of them crawled to the shore with difficulty.

Xuanqing coughed twice, Wuxin felt a little uncomfortable, and Wu Yuan was even more miserable, he broke an arm and inhaled too much mercury, he was bleeding from his orifices at this time.

Xuan Qing took the medicine for the three of them, and wiped off the blood stains on Wu Yuan's face. It took him a while to see things clearly. When he lowered his eyes, he saw Xuan Qing was tearing off the clean monk's robe, and was treating the blood on his arm. Wound.

Wu Yuan stared at him blankly, he didn't even feel the pain in the wound.He felt that he was pushed into hell by his closest relatives, and he should have been extremely disgusted and full of hatred.But it turns out that there are still people who care about him and treat him so well.

He still hated Wu Yao, but he also learned to have warm kindness.

"Master Xuanqing... Thank you..." His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but it was the first time he called him with such respect.

[Influence Wu Yuan, with a merit value of 10000; won the titles of "Son of Benevolence" and "Sister Fairy". 】

Xuan Qing paused, swallowed a mouthful of old blood in his heart, and slowly raised his head to look at Wu Yuan.

He was still applying medicine on his hand to stop the bleeding, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Donor Wu. With the poor monk here, there will be no danger of life."

Wu Yuan's heart warmed, he nodded, and stared at him with bright eyes.

Wu Xin snorted softly, and he said that no one would dislike their uncle.

At this moment, Wuxin suddenly became terrified, and he pointed behind Xuanqing with trembling fingers, "Master..."

Xuan Qing followed the sound and saw the densely packed puppets staggeringly stood up and approached them.
