Mei Niang, I'm a fake eunuch, you still let me sleep

Chapter 374
Zhao Wujiang's clothes were like ink, embroidered with patterns of silver and auspicious clouds. While blending into the boundless night, his whole body exuded a peaceful atmosphere.

He pinched the sword formula with the fingers of his right hand together, and put his left hand behind his back, constantly deflecting the attacks of the old Taoist in front of him.

The Taoist robe of the old Taoist was dark, and there were many tatters all over his body. Four red ropes were tied around his wrists and ankles. The red ropes were strung with copper coins, extending to the dark space of the main hall behind him.

Zhao Wujiang observed the copper coins, and roughly speculated that the old Taoist either used the copper coins to borrow some power in the main hall behind him, or these copper coins were actually suppressing evils to suppress and restrict the old Taoist's range of action.

The latter is very likely.

Because although the old Taoist in front of him is neatly dressed and has rosy cheeks, his deep and dark bags under the eyes and his lifeless eyes give people a strange feeling.

Especially the mahogany sword in his hand, every time he swung or slashed towards Zhao Wujiang, there was a faint smell.

And when the old Taoist slashed, his movements were a little stiff, full of a sense of contradiction, as if he wanted to kill Zhao Wujiang quickly, but he didn't seem to want Zhao Wujiang to die under the mahogany sword.

This most likely means that the old Taoist is now involuntary, and what he does is more like a puppet.

So Zhao Wujiang's attack was only to deflect the old Taoist's attack, but not to kill the old Taoist.

Otherwise, since he has now reached the peak of the art, he can completely kill this old Taoist.

According to Zhao Wujiang's experience, the cultivation of this old Taoist has reached the strength of ascending to the seventh or eighth rank of the gods. If ordinary people face it, they will surely die.

In fact, before Zhao Wujiang entered the ancient temple at night, he had roughly deduced what might have happened just by looking at the couplets on the lintel.

Only then did I have something to say to Zhao Xiaoyin.

In his inference, the ancient temple should have suffered drastic changes for some reason, causing the monks in the temple to flee and die.

As a result, the Buddha nature of the entire temple is gradually disappearing.

Of course, it is very likely that the culprit who caused the drastic changes in the ancient temple destroyed the Buddha nature in the temple.

Is this culprit an old Taoist?

Obviously not.

The old Taoist should have received the news of the drastic changes in the ancient temple before, or passed by the ancient temple by chance, and discovered the situation inside the ancient temple. in distress.

Although there is no one there, at least this area is peaceful and peaceful within a radius of ten miles.

It's a pity that the old Taoist has a good heart, but underestimated the power of the culprit. He failed in suppressing the evil spirit of the culprit, and was manipulated by his body instead.

It's just that the old Taoist's cultivation base is not ordinary after all, and he has profound Taoism in his body, so he can struggle with his mind.

Perhaps in the few remaining sane moments, the old Taoist used advanced Taoism to create a seal to suppress the behavior of restraining himself, and there were those copper coins strung with red strings.

Copper coins are commonly used by Taoists, whether they are used to ward off evil spirits or create divination, they are very useful.

Zhao Wujiang was calm and breezy, dodging around on the eaves of the side hall, he saw the slightly swaying struggle in the eyes of the old Taoist, so he didn't hold back his hand.

Instead, he chanted Taoism lightly in his mouth, and raised his hand to suppress the old Taoist until he retreated steadily.

The struggle in the eyes of the old Taoist also disappeared, and it became blood red, and his whole face became more ferocious, and he began to attack Zhao Wujiang crazily.

It was also with this crazy attack that Zhao Wujiang understood what was the culprit that caused the ancient temple to collapse and no monks survived.

Because when the old Taoist was attacking frantically, strands of black air were constantly emitting from all around his body.

This black air is dark and treacherous, full of dilapidated and corrupt atmospheres.

It was the sinister black energy escaping from the Cangwu Tomb again.

Zhao Wujiang's eyebrows became serious. He had seen this black air in Kang'an County, and now he saw it here. It seems that his guess may be true.

During the years when he stayed in Chang'an for a long time, the sinister black energy escaping from the Cangwu Tomb had spread and swallowed so far away.

Even going west to north, the black air may spread to the vicinity of Kunlun Shenshan.

At the same time, Zhao Wujiang was more worried about the people in Lingnan.

This kind of black energy is extremely difficult to entangle, it will devour people's xinxing and even, magnify the dark side in people's hearts, and make people inadvertently kill themselves.

Although Zhao Wujiang knew that Li Chunjun, the leader of Jianghu League, was sitting in the south of the Five Ridges, but what if Li Chunjun also fell amidst so much black air?
Doesn't that mean that there will be an extremely powerful and difficult opponent?

Although he hasn't seen the sword god Li Chunjun for some years, but according to Li Chunjun's talent, his cultivation base should already be at the peak of the ninth rank of god rank.

If Li Chunjun can refine the power of devouring the gods in the sinister black air and reach the cultivation level of gods, Zhao Wujiang will naturally congratulate him sincerely.

However, if Li Chunjun fell during the process of refinement and devouring, and his cultivation level increased again, then there might be another "Dan" in the future.

But now Zhao Wujiang has not received any news of cholera in the Lingnan land. Presumably, Li Chunjun must have joined forces with the strong men of the Jianghu League to hold on, and also protected many people.

He can only hope that Li Chunjun can continue to stick to it.

At the same time, he had a decision in his heart, and after arriving at Zhaojia Village, Yucheng, Jiannan Road, he turned around and went back on the ten-thousand-mile journey with Zhao Xiaoyin.

Go to Lingnan by yourself to see what happened.

Now, first solve the sinister black energy encountered along the way, and refine it, so as to increase your cultivation base.

"Heaven creates water."

Zhao Wujiang muttered in his heart, raised his hand, and a water curtain as thin as a cicada's wing shrouded the old Taoist in his hand.

The moment it enveloped the old Taoist, the sinister aura on the old Taoist's body seemed to enter a frying pan, bubbling and quickly dissolving.

The water curtain completely enveloped the old man, and the sinister black energy continuously merged into the water curtain, gradually dyeing the water curtain black.

The old Taoist let out a heart-piercing roar, as if he was in great pain.

Zhao Wujiang didn't withdraw his hand, but shook it forward again.

The water curtain turned into a trickle, and began to pour into the old Taoist's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, rushing towards his body.

Zhao Wujiang's move is to use the Taoist technique of the Five Elements of Water to melt away the sinister black energy in the old man's body, and at the same time try not to damage the mind of the old man who has worked so hard to stick to it until now.

The face of the old Taoist became more and more distorted, and the peach wood sword had fallen. He hugged his head and screamed continuously, like a drowning person, his mouth, nose and eyes kept pouring into the water of the five elements, and at the same time, pitch black and viscous black water flowed out continuously. Replacement.

After nine breaths, Zhao Wujiang raised his hand and made a move, as if lifting the curtain covering the old Taoist body.

He recruited a continuously surging transparent water mass into his hand, and black liquid swayed in the water mass.

The eyes of the old Taoist also returned to clarity. He glanced at Zhao Wujiang in relief. His body was limp and he fell to the ground. At the same time, the red rope and copper coins that bound his hands and feet also began to crack and shatter.
