My baby is gone again

Chapter 99

The night is cold as water.

In Tianchong Temple, the lights gradually went out.

The temple is located on a big mountain, looking from a distance, it looks like a huge beast crawling in the dark.

A slender figure leaped into the temple with light movements without making a sound.

She rolled up the sleeves of her night gown, and on her slender white wrist, a line of small pale gold characters emerged.

"There are still four hours."

She glanced down and knew she had to act quickly.

The woman in night clothes was named Lin Qingyu.

He came from the famous Demon Dao Sect in the Cangyuan Realm, the Spirit Charm Sect.

3000 years ago, Tianchong Temple fought with Lingmeizong.

At that time, Tian worshiped Buddha and was still alive.

With a vegetarian meal, he converted the "Confused Elder" of the Spirit Charm Sect.

Let him state his ten crimes and convert to Buddhism, willing to be locked up in the temple and think about his mistakes.

Elder Huoxin was in the realm of refining the void at that time, and he has not been heard from since he became a nun.

Now that so many years have passed, outsiders think she has already passed away.

But Lin Qingyu knew that this was not the case.

In the Lingmei Sect, there is still the soul lamp of this elder.

The soul lamp is a special kind of magic weapon, which is always prepared by the big sects.

Before important people go out, they will activate the soul lamp with their own essence and blood.

If it dies outside the body, the soul lamp will go out, which can serve as a notification.

It has been 3000 years since Elder Huoxin converted to Buddhism and became a nun.

Until now, the soul lamp of Elder Huoxin has still not been extinguished.

"Elder Huoxin was a first-class demon girl back then, and the [Xuanmu Pregnancy Spirit Chapter] she practiced requires practitioners to double practice with men every day before entering the Mahayana stage, otherwise they will regress. ..."

Lin Qingyu narrowed her beautiful eyes.

Such a witch is willing to become a nun, abstain from sex and become a vegetarian.

This matter itself has many doubts.

What's more, Elder Huoxin has lived for so many years.

Lin Qingyu accepted the mission of the sect, and she came here this time to find out what happened back then.

The small golden characters on the wrist are the decrees left by the powerful Lingmei sect.

It can be used to cover up the aura on her body and hide it from the Buddhist monks of Tianchong Temple.

However, this place is the Dharma field of Tianchong Temple, surrounded by the power of Buddha, this decree can only last for four hours.

After four hours, the decree will be wiped out, and the strong men of Tianchong Temple will be aware of Lin Qingyu's existence.

Therefore, she needs to find the Elder Puzzled before dawn, and find out the current state of the other party clearly.

With mana surging in her body, Lin Qingyu ran around the temple.

This is the site of Tianchong Temple, and there is an air-forbidden formation, so that even a mosquito cannot fly.

She used the escape method, sneaked close to the wall, hid her aura, avoided the monk on duty, and did not make a sound.

She took out a lotus-shaped lamp, which was covered with a black cloth, revealing a faint light.

This is the soul lamp of Elder Huoxin, who was taken out of the sect by Lin Qingyu.

The soul lamp contains the monk's blood essence, the closer it is to the monk, the brighter the soul lamp will be.

Although this light cannot point out a clear route for Lin Qingyu, it can also help her find a general direction.

Relying on the monk's moving speed, Lin Qingyu continued to try and make mistakes, corrected her direction, and headed towards the core area of ​​​​Tianchong Temple.

………………

After a long time.

Turn a corner.

Lin Qingyu was about to take out the soul lamp to see if her direction was correct, when she heard a voice nearby:
"Quick, move quickly, don't let him run away!"

"Search carefully for me, don't miss a single corner!"

"Tomorrow is the Buddha's birthday. The host has ordered that there should be no mistakes!"

"..."

A group of precept monks walked over in a hurry, all holding magic weapons and powerful aura, as if they were searching for someone.

Lin Qingyu was startled, and immediately realized that she was not what the other party wanted to arrest.

Someone entered the temple and was discovered by the precept monks.

Seeing that the group of monks with unkind faces was about to approach this place, Lin Qingyu turned to a nearby courtyard helplessly.

The action of climbing over the wall is very unsightly, but there is nothing to do.

For one thing, there was a ban in Tianchong Temple, monks could not use the technique of transformation, and pretended to be small bugs lying on the rocks.

The second is that the courtyard walls and the ground here are all paved with Buddhist golden bricks. The scriptures are engraved on the bricks. When combined, they are a magic weapon.

However, just halfway through, before her body landed, Lin Qingyu was stunned.

Because she saw a person squatting beside the wall.

The man was dressed like her, wearing the same night gown produced by Zhisuidian, covering his face.

When the man on the ground saw Lin Qingyu's appearance, his exposed eyes also showed a shocked expression.

Both of them concealed their breath and were unaware of each other, so they accidentally crashed into a car.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Lin Qingyu was using his mana and was about to escape, but the man's reaction was faster.

He grabbed Lin Qingyu's ankle hanging in the air and pulled her down.

With a muffled sound, Lin Qingyu fell into the soft mud. Only then did she realize that she had come to a vegetable yard.

The ankle was grabbed, and Lin Qingyu subconsciously started to fight back. Her body seemed to have no bones, and she turned around at an incredible angle. She kicked out a long leg and kicked the opponent's face.

The man in black let out a muffled groan, and was thrown backwards by the kick.

The demon girl from the Spiritual Charm Sect floated up, and a short knife emerged in her hand, and she slashed her opponent silently.

"Dangdangdang..."

After seven soft beeps in a row, the man in black sat on the ground, but his moves were as fast as lightning.

He pointed to the side of the dagger with his finger, and cast a magic trick to break the light blade.

Lin Qingyu sneered, put away the dagger, and replaced it with a giant axe, which was as big as half a door panel, and looked heavy at first glance.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

The man in black covered his face, sound transmission into secret, and resolutely admit defeat.

Lin Qingyu stopped, but did not put away the giant ax in his hand, waiting for the man in black to explain.

"Everyone is like-minded, please be kind."

The man in black tore off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a young man's face with the pattern of Lin Qingyu's soles on his face.

He sat on the ground and said via voice transmission:
"Golden Zhan Step, Breaking Jade Sword Technique... Are you from the Spirit Charm Sect?"

"good."

Lin Qingyu narrowed her eyes, "Seven Styles of Cutting Knife... Are you a knife repairer?"

Both of them were "thieves" who had sneaked into Tianchong Temple. In order to prevent too much noise from attracting the monks, they were very restrained when they first started, and they used the most basic fighting methods.

Telling each other about each other's behavior is also showing their own strength to deter each other.

"I'm Xia Chuqian, a disciple of the Immortal Cooking Sect."

Chu Qian cupped his hands and smiled, revealing his white teeth.

Kitchen knives are also knives, and the Immortal Cooking Sect is naturally considered half of the Knife Sect. It is normal to know some secret techniques of knife repair.

"Lingmeizong, Lin Qingyu."

Lin Qingyu also didn't hide it, and reported her identity, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course it's for visiting and studying."

Chuqian voice transmission:

"The vegetarian banquet at Tianchong Temple is well-known far and wide. Tomorrow is Tianchong Buddha's birthday. It is estimated that they will start cooking before dawn."

When this matter was mentioned, Chu Qian's eyes glowed:
"I'm going to mix in and learn both hands."

As he spoke, he scratched his head.

The wig fell off, revealing a shiny head with ring scars even drawn on it.

Lin Qingyu was silent:
"...you can use an illusion to turn yourself into a monk, right?"

"The vegetarian food in Tianchong Temple tastes very good, but it's a pity that the truly top-notch dishes are kept secret... I suspect there may be a kind of [Tao] involved in it."

Chu Qian got up from the ground with a serious expression:
"The closer to the monk's image, the more delicious the vegetarian banquet will be... Before I leave, I'm going to steal another original monk's robe."

Lin Qingyu: "..."

Chu Qian's determination to the Tao made her silent.

"What is Fellow Daoist Lin here for?"

Chu Qian asked.

Lin Qingyu: "I also came to steal the teacher."

"impossible."

Chu Qian didn't believe it:

"You Stealing Master from the Spirit Charm Sect, you should go to the [Hongluan Temple] next door. This is the place to cook, and that's where you cook... Hey, don't hit, don't hit."

"Let me think about it. It has something to do with Tianchong Temple. You came here for that elder who confused you?"

Chu Qian was shocked, "She's not dead yet?"

"That's from our sect, why are you so surprised?"

Lin Qingyu looked at him, "Do you know her?"

"I don't know, but... this shows, this shows..."

Chu Qian's eyes were excited, "This shows that the vegetarian banquet at Chongsi Temple in Tiantian also has the effect of prolonging life!"

Lin Qingyu felt that there was no way to talk today.

She suspected that this disciple of the Immortal Cooking Sect named Chu Qian had some spiritual problems. Although he was not stupid, he was absolutely abnormal.

"Okay, those people have gone away too, you steal your teacher, I will find mine."

Lin Qingyu didn't want to get entangled with him, so she said goodbye.

"Goodbye, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Chu Qian put on the wig and covered his face, the two turned around and left quickly.

After a while.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist Lin, why did you follow up?"

"...I went in the opposite direction."

"oh oh."

After a while.

"Friend Lin, why are you still following me?"

"That's because I happen to be going in that direction too."

Lin Qingyu took a deep breath, and took out the soul lamp from the storage magic weapon.

The direction indicated by the soul lamp is the same as the direction Chu Qian wants to go.

Chu Qian was stunned for a moment:

"But what I'm going to is the kitchen of Tianchong Temple?"

Lin Qingyu: "?"

"Fellow Daoist Chu, may I ask... is there a newly built place nearby to hold criminals or disciples who have made mistakes?"

Lin Qingyu felt that something was wrong.

Hearing this, Chu Qian frowned and thought.

When he came to Tianchong Temple to steal his teacher, he was naturally well prepared, and he had a clear understanding of the layout of the temple.

but……

"As far as I know, the kitchen of Tianchong Temple is located in the back mountain, and there is no place to detain criminals...at least on the surface."

Chu Qian replied.

Lin Qingyu's heart sank, and she had a bad premonition.

Seeing this, Chu Qian on the side persuaded:

"You don't have to worry about Lin Daoyou. Maybe the seniors of your sect admire the art of cooking and learn to practice in the kitchen? Every day you can cook with fire and stir-fry vegetables with spoons. This is a life like a god."

Having said that, Chu Qian looked longingly.

Lin Qingyu rolled her eyes:

"The elders of my majestic Lingmei Sect should not be enshrined, so they went to the temple to become a cook, right?"

"Hey, don't look down on the cook!"

Chu Qian was dissatisfied:

"My Immortal Cooking Sect is a first-class and powerful sect. Many years ago, the leader of a certain great religion offended our suzerain. Since then, there has been no place to treat guests to dinner."

Lin Qingyu sneered:
"Yeah, it turned out that his son-in-law is the suzerain of Xiannong Sect. He cut off the supply of top-quality ingredients from your sect, and finally became your suzerain to beg others."

Chu Qian was a little embarrassed:

"Isn't this my sect secret? How do you know?"

"It's no secret that he slept in our Spirit Sect before his death."

Lin whispered.

Chu Qian hissed, with admiration on his face:

"Some people say that the intelligence ability of the Spiritual Demon Sect is not under the Tianjimen. I believe it now."

While bickering, the two rushed towards the kitchen of Tianchong Temple.

Lin Qingyu held the soul lamp in her hand, just as she had expected, the closer she got to this place, the brighter the light of the soul lamp.

"There is still half an hour until Mao's time. The Buddha's birthday ceremony will be held in the morning. These monks have already started preparing the vegetarian banquet."

Lin Qingyu looked forward.

The kitchen courtyard of Tianchong Temple is located on the top of the back mountain. Although it is a kitchen house, due to the characteristics of the sect, the kitchen courtyard in the courtyard is very large and magnificent.

If people who don't know it see it, they will probably think it is a Buddhist temple dedicated to Bodhisattvas.

The two hid their figures in the darkness, and they saw monks going up the mountain one after another, and there were quite a few of them.

The two cast an invisibility spell, relying on the rear end of their bodies that could conceal their breath, they followed behind the monks.

After entering the courtyard, what you see is a neatly arranged kitchen shaped like a Buddhist temple, with spiritual lamps lighting up inside.

Chu Qian sniffed, and could already smell the smell of top-quality ingredients in the kitchen. Just as he was about to enter it to "learn from a teacher", Lin Qingyu pulled his arm.

When he came back to his senses, Lin Qingyu raised his hand as a gesture.

Chu Qian looked in the direction she pointed, and found four monks, carrying a large tank together, walking towards a huge kitchen.

This big vat is as tall as a person, with a simple shape, the whole body is pitch black, and there are some vague patterns on it.

Chu Qian frowned.

"They didn't take this jar into the magic treasure storage, but needed manpower to carry it over."

Lin Qingyu said via voice transmission.

"...The things inside are living things, so they can't be placed in the storage magic weapon."

Chu Qian nodded slightly, understanding what Lin Qingyu meant.

The two followed the four monks and entered the kitchen together. There was a scent of rice coming from the kitchen, and there were big pots on the stove, cooking porridge.

The monk making porridge in front of the stove unloaded the big pot and put it on the ground, and the four monks who carried the pot lifted the lid and dumped the big pot.

Someone brought a hatchet and stood by the big vat. Lin Qingyu and Chu Qian saw a black substance flowing out of the vat.

It is not appropriate to say that it is flowing, because it is a gelatinous thing, very similar to aspic, but the color is dark.

The black jelly looked as if it had been cut by someone, and it was piled up in the tank piece by piece, each piece was the size of a washbasin.

Lin Qingyu noticed that the cut of the black jelly was covered with dark green mucus, which was secreted from the wound like blood.

When they are stacked together, the mucus is entangled with each other, the aspic is deformed, twisted together, and there is a vague tendency to fuse.

The monk holding the knife swung the machete, and when the knife fell, a piece of "meat jelly" fell into the pot. Beside him, a monk with fierce eyes raised the wooden pestle in his hand and pounded it down hard, smashing the jelly into the pot. crushed.

Chu Qian could clearly see that when the ball of black matter was cut off, he shrank back obviously, as if he was afraid of pain.

"What the hell is Tianchong Temple doing?"

Chu Qian's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty.

The things in the tank are not like vegetables, and the monks in the temple are not like monks.

Many of these black aspics were put into each pot. The steam in the kitchen evaporated, and the black aspic was also boiled and boiled in the pot.

The four monks finished dumping the contents of the tank, left the kitchen, and walked towards the top of the back mountain.

Chu Qian and Lin Qingyu followed, the former remained silent, while the latter watched the soul lamp in his hand become brighter and brighter.

These four monks were not the only ones transporting the pitch-black vat. Some people came down from the top of the mountain one after another, all in groups of four, carrying the vat on their shoulders.

There is no building on the top of the mountain. Instead, it is a huge cave.

The diameter of the cave was more than three feet, the entrance of the cave was pitch black, and a downward step could be vaguely seen. The monk carrying the big vat came out from here.

Lin Qingyu looked up at the sky, dawn was approaching.

She looked at the small words on her wrist again, the color of the golden decree faded, and it could last at least half an hour.

"Should be enough."

Lin Qingyu made some calculations in her mind, and bowed to Chu Qian:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, let's say goodbye to you and me."

"and many more."

Chu Qian sent a voice transmission, "I'll go with you...I have hidden treasures on me, so I won't drag you down."

Lin Qingyu glanced at him, shook her head and said:
"No, Fellow Daoist Chu, you shouldn't follow me."

She took out a communication magic weapon and handed it to Chu Qian:
"What you have to do now is to go down the mountain as soon as possible, and then find a safe place to hide.

Tomorrow is the day of Tianchong Buddha's birthday. In the territory of Tianchong Temple, there are many temples, big and small, all holding vegetarian banquets.

We don't know exactly what these monks added to the vegetarian diet, and we don't know whether they sent that jar to other temples.

It would be best if there was only a special ingredient in that tank, but if there was any conspiracy hidden behind it, the consequences would be disastrous.

There are a lot of restrictions in Tianchong Temple, and the secret treasures of communication for outsiders cannot be used in the temple. One must go down the mountain and wait.

Leave this matter to me to investigate. If you have not received my summons after an hour, please contact your teacher immediately and tell them what you have seen tonight. "

Lin Qingyu was calm and knew what to do now.

Chu Qian stared at her blankly.

The sky was pale, and the night had not yet receded. There was a breeze on the mountain, and her hair fluttered gently.

At this moment, Chu Qian felt that she was not like a witch, but like a real heroine.

"Chu... just leave now."

Chu Qian took a deep breath, "If there is a chance to meet each other in the future, Chu will host a banquet in person and invite fellow Taoists."

Lin Qingyu cupped her hands and nodded heavily.

The two turned around at the same time, one ran down the mountain, while the other walked towards the dark cave entrance without looking back.
