I don't know when it came out that the Buddha's roots are the most capable of restraining evil spirits.
And Yuan Ming's strength is indeed unmatched by anyone in Buddhism, and it is not an exaggeration to call him the number one Buddhist cultivator.
If Yuan Ming is still a Buddhist disciple of Bodhi Temple, then his appeal can be imagined. If he agrees, other Buddhist cultivators led by Bodhi Temple will have to follow suit. That is why Yuan Ming left Bodhi Temple so early in advance. To prevent the same mistakes from happening again.
However, they all underestimated the shamelessness of Wan Jianzong and others.
Hearing Cao Ne's question, Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Even if he couldn't see it, he knew exactly what other people's expressions and reactions would be after Cao Ne asked this question.
——Even if Yuan Ming can't summon more Buddhist cultivators now, his own strength is enough. They will always squeeze out the last value of him. No matter how powerful you are, it doesn't matter if you can outnumber others. Popular? Can we say "united as one"? In the end, it's not just at the mercy of others.
Cao Ne glanced at the expressions of everyone around him and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips with satisfaction, then looked at Yuan Ming, waiting for his answer.
Yuan Ming turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and said in a calm voice: "So what."
"It's not about anything, it's just that this time the evil ghosts are rampant and the situation is more serious than before. Especially for some unknown reason, the evil ghosts can be fused with the spiritual treasures of the Buddhist temples, making them stronger and more difficult to deal with. So we are here Bian definitely needs more combat power."
Cao Ne sighed and said: "Actually, everyone knows that this time will definitely be another fierce fight, but if we leave it alone, once the evil ghost's strength increases again, it will undoubtedly be a more difficult and dangerous situation for me. "
"Yes, it has only been less than two years, and the evil ghost has become stronger again. There is no guarantee that nothing will happen again in the future."
"The fusion of evil ghosts and Buddhist temple spiritual treasures is not just one or two cases. We must destroy the evil ghosts again before they become stronger."
"But can we...really do it on our own?"
"Yes, we failed to eliminate the evil ghost a year ago. Now..."
"Maybe we should discuss it again and think of a solution or something."
............
"Your concerns are not unreasonable."
Chai Xuan took a step forward at this time; "But we have found a way to kill all the evil spirits."
............
"Xu Xiuran, wake up, wake up quickly..."
A soft call came to his ears, and then Xu Xiuran felt his butt being kicked. He subconsciously groaned before slowly opening his eyes.
The memories before the coma gradually came back, and he woke up in an instant.
Xu Xiuran suddenly turned over and tried to get up, but his hands were tied from behind. He lost his balance and fell back instantly.
"You finally woke up." Qiu Sui said from the side.
Xu Xiuran calmed down and then saw the surrounding environment clearly.
"Where is this place—fuck! What is this?!"
Qiu Sui followed Xu Xiuran's gaze and looked forward, her face complex and pale: "This is an evil ghost, a ghost baby..."
"Don't worry, I've observed before, this ghost baby can't get close to us."
"But...but why did the ghost baby appear here..."
Xu Xiuran looked at the ghost baby in front of him with a face full of astonishment and shock. He was no more than calf high, naked and purple in color, with a chain tied around his neck. He was roaring at them in a low voice with his mouth open. He really couldn't figure it out. Why are there ghost babies here, and they are still chained up, like...
It's like being held captive...but how is that possible?
is it possible? Xu Xiuran was a little confused.
"Do you still remember the dark figure that attacked us so fast that we couldn't even see clearly?" At this time, Qiu Sui suddenly asked.
Xu Xiuran was not stupid. When asked this question, his eyes suddenly widened: "You mean...you mean..."
Qiu Sui hummed: "I suspect that the black shadow that attacked us is the ghost baby in front of us."
"But that black shadow is taking orders from that person! How could-"
"Why not?" Qiu Sui looked at the chain tied around the ghost baby's neck.
In her opinion, it was just a decoration. No matter how small the ghost baby was, it was still an evil ghost.
Can evil spirits be controlled by just a chain? But it's just to limit the scope of the ghost baby's activities.
"Although I have never heard of evil ghosts obeying people's orders, I have never said that there is no way to make evil ghosts obey orders."
The chains were tightened and retracted, retracted and tightened again, making constant banging sounds that made people feel numb all over.
The ghost baby, which was no more than calf-high, kept roaring and trying to get closer to them, drooling from its mouth and opening its sharp little hands towards them.
Qiu Sui murmured: "The North has been losing children recently."
Xu Xiuran hissed and said in disbelief: "Could it be that the child was not captured by evil spirits, but by--"
"Shh! Someone is coming..."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone pushed open the door here.
What appeared was the man they had followed before, and he didn't look very surprised when they saw them waking up.
At this time, Xu Xiuran moved his legs and faced the man: "Hey, I am the young master of the Xu family. I advise you to let me go as soon as possible. Also, what is the situation with this ghost baby? What on earth do you want to do! I'm warning you ..."
The man sneered: "I'm about to die, and there's so much nonsense."
Xu Xiuran: "It's only when I'm about to die that I want to die clearly! You..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Xiuran's eyes widened and he watched in shock as the man whipped out a whip and hit the ghost baby directly. The ghost baby roared and howled instantly, but did not resist. Instead, he shrank to the corner.
"you you you......"
The man made a hand gesture, hit the ghost baby again, and then waved to the ghost baby. Then, he saw the ghost baby crawling towards the man.
"So what if he is the young master of the Xu family."
The man kicked the ghost baby at his feet, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "When you are all devoured by the evil ghosts, it's not up to us to say anything..."
Qiu Sui calmed down: "Our young master will rescue us! He must know now that it was you who captured us——"
The man clicked his tongue and sneered: "I just want him to know. If he knows, then the Buddha must also know."
Qiu Sui reacted instantly: "You..."
"But do they know where you two are? Do they know that there are ghost babies here?" The man laughed maliciously: "At that time, we can say that you two have escaped, but you were accidentally divided by the evil ghost. Eat...what do you two think of this reason? Is it not bad?"
After he finished speaking, a few more people came in.
"Take the two of them to the Fuhe area."
"yes."
............
"Since the failure more than a year ago, we have been looking for ways to kill all the evil spirits..."
"In the Fuhe area in the north, a ghost realm has gradually formed."
"There is a phenomenon of 'pilgrimage' among evil ghosts, and the ghost realm attracts evil ghosts. As long as we set up a large formation of forbidden magic there in advance, and then put out bait to attract the evil ghosts, we can kill them one by one. Evil ghosts, at the same time, can also avoid evil ghosts' 'pilgrimage' and give birth to a new ghost king, what do you think?"
After Chai Xuan finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
"Fuhe area? That's not the place where ghosts were exterminated more than a year ago..."
"Yes, that's right there." Chai Xuan nodded.
"It's actually there this time?"
Chai Xuan nodded: "Based on the experience last time, I think we will definitely succeed this time. As long as we successfully set up the forbidden spell formation and attract the evil spirits to come, we will be able to kill all the evil ghosts in the formation... ...Of course this is going to be hard on everyone, after all, we need to ambush the evil spirits within the formation."
Everyone looked at each other and glanced at each other.
Cao Na also spoke at this time: "We, the Wanjian Sect and the Wuxiang Sect, will stop the formation. At that time, we only hope that the Buddha can take the lead in ambush the evil ghost. After all, the Buddha has the root of the heavenly Buddha and is so powerful. .....I heard that Buddha killed a ghost king in Fuhe a few days ago, which really makes us feel inferior."
"Really? Buddha actually killed a ghost king?!"
"There have always been many ghost caves in the Fuhe area, but now they are even more deserted. I didn't expect that Buddha could escape unscathed while killing the ghost king."
Zhu Xiaoxiao laughed and said with unclear meaning: "Yes, I did kill a ghost king, but it happened a few days ago. I didn't expect that Wanjian Sect could still understand what happened in the north before he came to the north. ."
Cao Napi said with a smile: "It's a very important matter, so we must make preparations in advance."
"Oh, I wonder what preparations the Wanjian Sect has made..."
As Zhu Xiaoxiao was talking, he heard the system prompt: [Ding——]
[The male protagonist's blackening value has increased. The current blackening value is 96, an increase of +1, +1...]
【Ding--】
[The male protagonist's darkening value is 99, the situation is high-risk! 】
What happened? !
Why does the blackening value suddenly increase?
Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't see Yuan Ming's expression, so he couldn't help but reach out and hold Yuan Ming's hand.
The hand was trembling slightly, and then she squeezed his hand tightly.
This is not fear, but more like anger——
What happened... Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't hide his shock, his thoughts were spinning rapidly, but he heard Yuan Ming suddenly say: "In that case, why not go to the Fuhe area now?"
............
Yuan Ming suddenly spoke, not only making Zhu Xiaoxiao stunned for a moment, but also Cao Ne and Chai Xuan were a little surprised.
"Since we have decided to attack the evil spirits, why delay?"
At this time, Yuan Ming's voice was a little cold: "This is already the second operation. There is no need to make as many decisions in advance as the first time. Moreover, Chief Cao also said just now that preparations have been made in advance. In addition, there are previous Experience shows that today's plans will only be more perfect and easier to implement, right?"
Cao Ne nodded subconsciously: "That's right."
"The more evil ghosts devour one person, the stronger they will become. The Fuhe area was the main battlefield for exterminating ghosts before. You should know that there will only be more spiritual treasures scattered in Buddhist temples there. In addition, there are many ghost caves, even if they have been destroyed before. Many evil ghosts have been killed, but there is no guarantee that new evil ghosts will not be born..."
"Just like the ghost king I killed before, the ghost cave where it was located should have been cleared last time."
【Ding--】
[The blackening value is fluctuating violently...]
The system's chip is also getting extremely hot! Help!
Zhu Xiaoxiao was calm on the surface, but he couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, and squeezed Yuan Ming's hand tightly. Fortunately, although the blackening value fluctuated violently, it did not rise.
He carefully analyzed what had just happened and what he had said...
"Then why don't we go now?"
After listening to what Yuan Ming said, some people did start to worry.
"Anyway, we have to set up the forbidden spell array in advance. We have already discussed it. Let's go now. If we start earlier, we can deal with the evil spirits earlier."
"Buddha is right. Since we have decided to exterminate the evil ghosts, it would be better not to delay any longer."
"What do Chief Cao and Young Master Chai think?"
The conversation turned to Cao Ne and Chai Xuan, and even Yuan Ming looked over. After the two looked at each other, Cao Ne said, "Of course we have no objections."
............
Evil spirits are rampant in Tianyuan Continent, especially in the northern territory.
Since the birth of evil ghosts, the ghost energy has filled the air and the spiritual energy has been polluted, so the spiritual practice has gradually declined.
There are rumors that the upper part of the ghost cave leads to the sky and the lower part leads to the gate of hell. Evil ghosts are dead creatures that are unwilling to fall into hell after death and climb up to the human world through the ghost cave.
It's just that people's souls disappear after death, and evil ghosts are not people in life.
They are even bloodthirsty and cannibalistic, using human blood and human flesh as food.
Such filthy things cannot be tolerated in the world, so they are destined to be eliminated.
More than a year ago, the two major sects organized a ghost extermination trip. The main position was in the Fuhe area in the north. Using the blood of monks as a guide, they gathered the whereabouts of evil ghosts and tried to kill them all. However, even if The Buddhist cultivator who was best able to restrain evil spirits tried his best, but he still suffered numerous casualties.
Those evil spirits gathered together, and their abilities continued to grow.
It was almost impossible to kill them all, and they even had the power to counterattack in the end. They wanted to annihilate them all. If Master Miaoxuan hadn't turned the tide in the end and paid the price of passing away, there would have been no return from that operation. It was a good ending. Although not all the ghosts were killed and the losses were huge, at least their lives were saved.
But this time, it had only been more than a year. If it hadn't been for the discovery that the evil ghost had become stronger after merging with the spiritual treasures of the Buddhist temple, and many of the monks were invincible, they would not have organized in such a hurry to attack the evil again. If the evil ghost is allowed to grow in strength and the ghost spirit permeates the air, they will be the ones affected in the end.
This is also a last resort and a helpless thing.
However, based on the experience last time, this time I made arrangements in advance. I only selected one place to attract the evil ghosts, destroyed them one by one, and activated the forbidden magic array to trap and kill the evil ghosts. This plan was more rigorous than the previous one... ..I don't want to kill all the evil ghosts, I just want to reduce the number of evil ghosts sharply, disperse the ghost energy, and give them some time to breathe.
The only thing is that most Buddhist cultivators chose to stay out of it this time. If the Buddhist cultivators don't come, it means that the combat power to contain the evil spirits will be reduced by at least two or three points. However, they can't say anything. After all, they suffered the heaviest losses last time. Yes, it is this group of Buddhist cultivators.
In the end, I can only sigh that the way of heaven has collapsed. Cultivation is not easy.
In order to restore the glory of the practice, they are willing to pay any price.
Unknowingly, the team atmosphere was filled with an inexplicable tragic atmosphere, and even the voices became much more serious.
When Zhu Xiaoxiao heard this, he felt it was extremely ridiculous.
This group of idiots... In addition to the sects attached to Wanjian Sect and Wuxiang Sect, those who responded this time were a group of idiots who were not very smart.
In the past, Bodhi Temple and Master Miaoxuan were forced to resist this responsibility. Could it be that these people couldn't see it or understand it?
Even if that bloody lesson failed to clear their minds, will the temples headed by Bodhi Temple agree this time? Do other sects respond?
It is nothing more than swallowing up the benefits given by Wanjian Sect and Wuxiang Sect, or rushing to participate in this matter with Wanjian Sect and Wuxiang Sect in order to make his own sect famous, otherwise he is really stupid. There is no cure, and I really think I am some kind of savior.
But...it's not these people who have the real problem.
............
Why Yuan Ming's blackening value suddenly increased? I'm afraid he discovered something.
Although he could not see with his eyes, Zhu Xiaoxiao listened to the movements around him and discovered that Yuan Ming had intentionally or unintentionally guided these people to go in a certain direction, but he did so covertly. Except for him, Cao Ne, Chai Xuan and others did not notice.
Why go in this direction with purpose...
Zhu Xiaoxiao wanted to tighten his hand, only to realize that he had been holding Yuan Ming's hand.
Along the way, although the two of them didn't speak, they kept holding hands.
His heartbeat was suddenly so fast...
It stands to reason that the forbidden art formation was jointly arranged by Wanjian Sect and Wuxiang Sect. Cao Ne also said that they had made preparations in advance, and they chose the Fuhe area. It is very likely that the location should have been selected in advance here. But now I am walking in the direction led by Yuan Ming, but there is no objection, which can only mean...
Whether it was the direction Yuan Ming secretly guided, or the location chosen in advance by Wuxiang Sect and Wanjian Sect, there was a high probability that they were all in the same place!
As expected, just when I thought of this, I heard Cao Ne say: "Everyone, not far ahead is the place we have chosen as the best place to ambush evil spirits. As long as we set up a forbidden spell formation in that place and be prepared, we can attract evil spirits." Ghosts keep coming into the formation to ambush us."
Chai Xuan also said: "This forbidden spell formation was set up by the elders of the sect. It only needs to be activated. When the time comes, the evil spirits will be introduced into the formation..."
"Are you introducing evil spirits into the formation, or are you introducing us into the formation?" Yuan Ming suddenly asked.
This question was calm and plain. At first I didn't realize what it meant. After they realized what it meant, everyone's expressions changed immediately, especially Cao Ne and Chai Xuan.
Cao Na's face instantly turned ugly: "Fozi, what do you mean?"
He knew that these two people would not cooperate so well, so they were waiting here!
"After the formation is activated, can evil spirits only enter but not exit?" Yuan Ming asked without answering.
Cao Ne: "Of course -"
"Where is that person?"
"this......"
"Can the outside world see clearly what happened in the formation?" Yuan Ming asked again.
The content of these two inquiries were questions that no one had considered before.
Of course, there is no need to take this into consideration. After all, they are all ambushing evil spirits together. Will Wanjian Sect and Wuxiang Sect still persecute them?
But after the first question was asked, Cao Ne couldn't answer it.
For a moment, everyone was a little surprised and confused.
If evil spirits can only enter but not exit, they can be killed in the formation, but people cannot leave the formation...
"Chief Cao, after the formation is activated, can't we all leave the formation?"
"But what if we don't have enough manpower and need reinforcements?"
"Isn't this right, Chief Cao, why can't people come out of the big formation?"
"Also, after the Forbidden Arts Formation is opened and the surrounding area is sealed, will it form a barrier and the outside world will not be able to see what is happening within the Formation?"
"I would like to ask the elders of Wanjian Sect and Wuxiang Sect, are they waiting for us in the large formation ahead?"
............
Questions come one after another, and no matter how stupid a person is, his mind can clear up for a moment when he is reminded of issues related to life and death.
But it happened to be caused chaos at this time, just like being deliberately looking for trouble.
Cao Ne had a gloomy face: "Don't forget, everyone, we will all enter the big formation by then. Will we harm ourselves?"
"If the sheep are imprisoned, of course the jackals will come in and eat the sheep."
"Yuan Ming, you——"
Chai Xuan stopped Cao Na, looked at Yuan Ming, and said with a hint: "Why would the Buddha say such things?"
"The Buddha has rejected us before. If you don't want to participate, you can leave. There is no need to be alarmist at this time... The Buddha left the Bodhi Temple and left resolutely, and now he is about to meet the young man of the Hehuan Sect. The sect leader is getting married, which shows that the path he pursues has changed."
"Although I don't know what happened to the Buddha, the morality pursued by our sect is still there...and this can't be proven by just one or two unsubstantiated words from the Buddha. "..." This clearly shows that Yuan Ming has ulterior motives and is no longer the Buddhist disciple he was before.
Zhu Xiaoxiao almost wanted to laugh after hearing this.
Why didn't I realize that Chai Xuan's mouth was so good at talking before?
The rest of the people looked at each other, feeling vaguely shaken in their hearts.
Do you believe what this Buddhist man says? But what Yuan Ming is doing now is indeed criticized.
Moreover, Wanjian Sect and Wuxiang Sect are indeed going to enter the formation, and coupled with Yuan Ming's two sentences, it is true that there is no...
"Who says I don't have evidence."
Yuan Ming looked at Chai Xuan with cold eyes, and suddenly changed the subject and said: "That day you arrested Xu Xiuran and two female disciples from the Hehuan Sect, and deliberately let one go, just to let us know that you hold two bargaining chips. , lead us to participate in this operation——"
Cao Ne and Chai Xuan looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
None of them expected that Yuan Ming would say this at this time. Doesn't he care about the lives of Xu Xiuran and Qiu Sui? !
But of course they couldn't admit it.
Anyway, it was empty talk and Yuan Ming was allowed to make such outrageous claims here. Without any so-called evidence, there was no way he could pin this charge on them!
"What the hell is going on? Why did you arrest someone?"
Chai Xuan shook his head: "We don't know this either, and we don't understand why the Buddha said this."
"It's just empty talk again, just trying to charge us with something!"
Cao Ne looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao and sneered: "If Young Master Su loses someone, just look for him. Why do you want someone from us?"
Zhu Xiaoxiao's mind wandered, and he suddenly reached out to touch his chin and looked at Yuan Ming: "I remember that before you came here, you also established synesthesia with Xia He?"
"That's right."
"Where is she now?"
