Chapter 162 Master Qingtang
The deep forest is the fox's hunting ground. After nightfall, Jiang Jiu could clearly see Chi Li's eyes glowing slightly red, and his animal pupils were full of aggression.
Especially since he was looking at him now, Jiang Jiu always felt like his throat was being bitten.
Jiang Jiu could only try his best to ignore the gazes behind him and pretend to be calm.
“Who is it?”
The vigilant voices of patrolling bandits could be heard halfway up the mountain. They had obviously heard the movements of Jiang Jiu and his group.
"Your grandfather."
Xiao Nianzhong sneered, and the bandit didn't even have the chance to say a second word before his neck was cut open.
Blood splattered out, but under the moonlight, Jiang Jiu only saw a streak of blood.
"Not far ahead."
Jiang Jiu pointed in the direction where the patrolling bandits came from and said to Fo Jiang.
"Um."
Fo Jiang nodded slightly, and under the moonlight, the killing began.
In fact, Jiang Jiu did not take any action, but just stood by and watched Fo Jiang, Xiao Nianzhong and Chi Li silently.
Logically speaking, Fo Jiang and Chi Li are not bloodthirsty people, but they are particularly active today. Occasionally, they will look at each other provocatively, as if they are competing?
This speculation made Jiang Jiu feel unwell.
Jiang Jiu stood quietly in the corner watching them kill people, as obedient as a quail.
How dare she speak?
As for those bandits?
The victim didn't say anything, so what right does she, an outsider, have to say? Let's just let the matter go.
Jiang Jiu silently named himself "Master Qingtang" in his heart.
Suddenly, Fo Jiang's elegant and gentle voice came to his ears, and Jiang Jiu slowly raised his head.
"Donor Jiang, there is a hidden secret room here."
Fo Jiang's moon-white cassock was not stained with blood, and his compassionate face was filled with a gentle smile. If Jiang Jiu had not seen Fo Jiang attack so ferociously just now, she might have regarded Fo Jiang as a harmless little monk.
"You...Son, won't you teach me first?"
Although Jiang Jiu didn't care about the life or death of the bandits who bullied men and women, he was still a little concerned about Fojiang's Buddhism, so he couldn't help but ask.
After all, modern Buddhism emphasizes laying down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly, so one should try to persuade the enemy to surrender first, and if that fails, then that's another matter.
This style of behavior is quite different from Fojiang's.
But there was no evil aura about him now, which was very strange.
"They need to confess their sins to the Buddha, and what I have to do is to send them to see the Buddha."
Fo Jiang clasped his hands together in a very pious posture. He was not surprised by Jiang Jiu's words and explained the motives behind his actions very calmly.
"Uh, what the Holy Son said is true."
Jiang Jiu's mind froze for a moment, and he didn't even know what he said.
For a moment, Jiang Jiu felt as if her brain had shrunk. What Fo Jiang said seemed to make sense, but something was wrong.
"Well, I hope you understand."
Fo Jiang nodded slightly and turned the topic back to the secret room.
"There's a hidden room in this bandit's lair. Would you like to take a look with me?"
As he spoke, Chi Li, who was dealing with the bandits' bodies, also walked towards the two of them, holding the corpse-dissolving water that he had not had time to put away.
Jiang Jiu glanced at the corpse-dissolving water and couldn't help feeling frightened.
This is because Yu Zimo is not here, otherwise the whole process of killing people to silence them, destroying the bodies and the souls to death would have been arranged.
It would be extremely unlucky for the bandits to encounter them.
"I'm curious what's inside, too."
Chi Li put away the corpse-dissolving water with a smile and said as he walked towards Jiang Jiu.
But looking at Jiang Jiu's eyes, I always felt that they were very meaningful, which made Jiang Jiu scared.
"He wants to kill me, right? He definitely wants to kill me, right?!"
"Enough, Witch of Despair, stop spreading despair!"
Jiang Jiu shook his head, expelled the things in his head, and responded tremblingly.
"Then go ahead."
Jiang Jiu pretended to be calm and responded.
She comforted herself every minute and every second, saying that it was a wise man who knew the current situation and did not follow his heart.
...
The lights in the secret room were dim, and the four people had to walk close to each other in the corridor.
The other three people were calm and composed, and the only one who felt uncomfortable was Jiang Jiu.
Because she could feel a big fluffy tail rubbing against her wrist and trying to wrap around it.
“…”
Very good, Jiang Jiu was sure that Chi Li no longer wanted to kill her.
It was outrageous that Chi Li actually teased her in front of the other two.
Not only could she feel the fox's tail wrapped around him, she could also feel Xiao Nianzhong trying to grab her hand.
Only Fojiang was relatively honest and did nothing.
"This secret room looks quite old. Could it be something left behind by an immortal before the world was sealed off?"
Fo Jiang carefully analyzed the painting on the stone wall and said to Jiang Jiu.
Jiang Jiu forced a smile and answered Fo Jiang's words.
"Akarei should know something."
Jiang Jiu took a half step back, calmly threw away the tail on his wrist, and then turned the topic to Chi Li.
Sometimes, the difference between being afraid of death and being bold enough to do something is just a matter of thought.
Of course, this thought is on Chi Li's side.
"It is indeed something left behind by someone from the Ninth Heaven...but...hiss..."
Chi Li just glanced at the mural lazily and wanted to say something, but after noticing a special tree-shaped totem, the words on his lips inexplicably stopped.
"Bai Ze, this is the Origin Divine Tree, right?"
Chi Li’s words also surprised Jiang Jiu. Didn’t Bai Ze say that no one else could recognize it except him?
"How did you find out?"
There was also surprise in Bai Ze's voice.
"It is indeed the Origin Divine Tree, but this tree has been withered for nearly ten thousand years. How could a mere immortal know the totem of this tree?"
Chi Li stroked his chin, lost in thought.
"The only divine objects currently connected to the Origin Divine Tree are the Celestial Mirror and the legendary creatures it protects. Has this little immortal ever personally touched the Celestial Mirror?"
Chi Li knew much more than Jiang Jiu had imagined, and he seemed to be deliberately telling Jiang Jiu the clues.
"It's possible that I saw the Origin Divine Tree in the celestial mirror."
Bai Ze responded.
"so...."
Chi Li looked at Jiang Jiu thoughtfully, which made Jiang Jiu feel uneasy, so he spoke softly.
"If this little immortal is still alive, he should be imprisoned for violating the heavenly rules and approaching the celestial mirror without permission."
Bai Ze said after a moment of silence.
"A thousand years is a fleeting moment for an immortal. If you have time, you can capture him."
Jiang Jiu didn't understand the riddle between the two people and was full of questions.
"Girl, your identity is not simple."
Bai Ze didn't say anything else to Chi Li, but strangely threw a few words to Jiang Jiu and fell into silence.
"We can move on now."
Chi Li originally looked like he was strolling around lazily, but after seeing the mural, he actually became a little serious and began to observe the environment in the secret room.
