Chapter 314 Jinjiang (1)
After Taoist Li discovered Lu Xingxing's abnormality, he wanted to rush to where Lu Xingxing was immediately.
But at this moment, the ground shook violently.
Taoist Master Ma, who was already exhausted, almost fell to the ground due to his legs going weak. Fortunately, the Taoist master next to him saw it and quickly pulled him up, avoiding secondary injury.
The staff of the program was a little panicked: "Is this an earthquake?"
Bai Shuang was just about to comfort the people around him, saying that this was an open area and even if there was an earthquake it would not hit them. The southwest Baizhi Lake is not a place where earthquakes occur all year round, so even if there is one it would probably be a small earthquake and there is no need to worry.
But before he could finish his words, Bai Shuang saw the brick and stone wall of the village house next to him collapse with a loud "crash".
As the dust flew, everyone in the program crew subconsciously screamed and retreated.
The rubble flew towards Bai Shuang, but she had no time to react. She could only watch the stones getting closer and closer in her field of vision, and were about to hit her eyes.
At this moment, a hand stretched out from the side and blocked Bai Shuang's eyes, easily helping her block the stone.
With a "bang", the stone rolled to the ground.
It also avoids the situation where the white frost hurts the eyes.
She looked to the side in shock, and quickly nodded to thank the Taoist priest who helped her.
But the Taoist priest's gaze passed through Bai Shuang and looked towards the village seriously.
The houses in the entire deserted village quickly began to crack due to such violent shaking, and crackling noises were heard everywhere.
The brick and stone walls covered with moss collapsed and scattered all over the ground.
The village houses that had been barely intact after decades of wind and rain just a moment ago were quickly turned into ruins in this earthquake.
Not a single village house survived.
It seemed like the misery of the Bai village had finally come to an end.
The ghost show passed down from the ghost catcher a thousand years ago finally completed its mission, and then lost its inheritance and disappeared without a trace.
Although the staff of the program team all thought it was an earthquake, the Taoist priest could see that it was so thorough that it was definitely not a natural phenomenon.
Just now, the Taoist priests were fighting a desperate battle with the evil spirits in the deserted village. No matter how big the noise was, these houses were not affected at all.
But now, just a slight vibration can cause the masts to collapse and the house to fall.
A guess immediately flashed through the Taoist priest's mind.
——The ghostly aura that supported the deserted village disappeared.
The false space that they had mistakenly entered would also disappear, so there was no need for the deserted village to continue to exist.
The other Taoist priests calmly protected the staff behind them, quickly helped Taoist priest Ma with emergency bandages to stop the bleeding, and at the same time they had already made preparations for the transfer, waiting for the ghost energy to become too low to support the deserted village, and then they would rush out in one fell swoop.
But Taoist Li suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as lightning, shooting towards the other side of the deserted village.
There is Baizhi Lake, which is also the place where the old Fengdu hid and survived.
After being pushed away from the old Fengdu by Li Chengyun, Taoist Li could no longer sense the aura there, let alone go back there.
But now, he once again felt the thick ghost energy rising into the sky.
It wasn't a ferocious attack that wanted to sweep across the world, but rather it was like a last hurrah to reveal the last bit of strength.
Just a few seconds after Taoist Li discovered the abnormal state of Baizhi Lake, ripples suddenly appeared on the originally calm surface of the lake, and the amplitude became larger and larger until it covered the entire lake surface and even caused waves.
Then, the lake became completely turbulent.
Huge waves rose several meters high and hit the lake shore fiercely, as if they wanted to swallow up the entire nearby land.
Everyone in the program crew screamed and stepped back. The Taoist priests immediately stepped forward, hoping that something would rush out from under the lake.
But Taoist Li had a premonition of something, and rushed towards Baizhi Lake in two steps, wanting to welcome the return of his old friend.
In his old but clear eyes, a light of expectation gradually brightened, and the hope that had been suppressed in his heart rose again.
Maybe... maybe his junior brother still has a chance of survival?
Could the person who came back be his junior fellow apprentice?
Taoist Priest Li stood by the lake, not caring that the huge waves had wet his cloth shoes. He just looked straight down into the water, as if he wanted to see the elegant and leisurely figure through the water.
But he was destined to be disappointed.
The surging lake water parted in all directions, carrying debris towards the shore, while several figures emerged from the bottom of the lake.
The leader was Yan Shixun.
The Fengdu Yin soldiers who followed the huge waves rode high on their war horses. Each soldier brought a rescue team member with him. The team members obviously had not yet adapted to close contact with the Yin soldiers, not to mention being sent back to the human world by the Yin soldiers themselves. They seemed a little dazed.
On the contrary, the official person in charge and the Taoist priest seemed to be quite academic and were ready to experience the differences between the ghost soldiers and the ghost messengers of the underworld.
The Taoist priest even started chatting with the ghost soldiers who were riding on war horses with him. It seemed that he wanted to ask the ghost soldiers for help when he had difficulties in the future.
The ghost soldier couldn't answer, nor could he not answer. His body under the armor was visibly stiff.
After all, the gate of Fengdu has been closed for a hundred years and has never responded to strangers. It is not up to him to decide whether to respond to requests for help through the sensing array. But if he doesn't answer, this person happens to be the mother's family of Fengdu Lady...
Yin Bing: I didn’t expect that even after I died, I would still have to face such a difficult problem at work.
Everyone quickly rode the wind and waves and landed steadily on the ground.
But the water of Baizhi Lake did not stop surging. After dropping everyone off, it roared past everyone and rushed towards the ruins of the deserted village.
Flooding.
In an instant, the Bai village was swallowed up without a trace.
The Taoist priests looked at the lake water pouring down on their heads and wanted to avoid it, but the lake water cleverly avoided everyone.
Even the ground they were standing on was not wet.
The program crew members who had been trembling just now were stunned by the strange scene and wiped their eyes in disbelief.
However, Bai Shuang, relying on the survival radar developed from the past few episodes of the show, spotted Yan Shixun at a glance. She was so happy that she waved to Yan Shixun desperately and even jumped up with excitement, wanting Yan Shixun to see her.
Taoist Li looked over and saw many familiar faces, all of which he had seen in the old Fengdu Hell.
But the only thing missing was... Li Chengyun.
The light that had just lit up in Taoist Li's eyes gradually dimmed.
He didn't say anything, just stood there for a moment, and then nodded to Yan Shixun as if nothing had happened: "You're back, Xiaoxun."
Yan Shixun was stunned and stood still.
When he landed, he saw Taoist Priest Li, and also saw the hope that had dimmed in Taoist Priest Li's eyes.
Yan Shixun knew what Taoist Priest Li was waiting for, and therefore felt even more upset. He didn't know how to explain it. Unexpectedly, Taoist Priest Li did not make things difficult for him, but took the initiative to speak and resolve the stalemate.
But the address of Taoist Master Li still made Yan Shixun stunned.
In the past, Taoist Li always called Yan Shixun "Disciple Goudan", and even when Yan Shixun was unhappy, he would still call him that happily.
But this time, Taoist Li took the initiative to change his words.
Yan Shixun slowly realized that this was because for Taoist Li, the person he cared about more was Li Chengyun, so all relationships were connected with Li Chengyun, and even the way he addressed him revealed his closeness to Li Chengyun.
At that time, in the eyes of Taoist Li, Yan Shixun was Li Chengyun's disciple and nephew.
But now, Li Chengyun is gone.
Yan Shixun no longer had a master, and the most important point connecting the two of them disappeared.
The name "Goudan's apprentice" will never be heard again.
Taoist Li took over Li Chengyun's identity on his own initiative, treating Yan Shixun as someone close to him, and shouted that sentence on behalf of Li Chengyun.
Xiaoxun.
Yan Shixun stood there in a daze for a long time, tears welling up in his eyes and wetting the corners of his eyes.
Taoist Li, contrary to his usual hot-tempered personality, stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at Yan Shixun with a smile, as if waiting for him to catch up.
Without too many words, they both knew what the other party had not asked and did not want to answer.
Yan Shixun closed his eyes tightly, pushing the tears back into his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he had regained his usual calmness.
"Master Li."
Yan Shixun walked over and bowed slightly to Taoist Li: "Thank you for coming here in time. Have you seen the people from the program team?"
Taoist Priest Li pointed backwards and said, "No, you point at the head."
The program crew members who were protected in the center by the Taoist priests suddenly became excited, just like chicks who couldn't wait to jump under the wings of their mother hen.
Yan Shixun first raised his eyebrows in surprise at the crowd's excessive enthusiasm, and then he was amused by their reactions.
When he walked in front of the crowd, there was no trace of his previous grief and depression.
Even the variety show stars who had been following Yan Shixun did not notice any changes in his mood.
But Yan Shixun noticed something was wrong as soon as he glanced over: "Why aren't Xingxing and the others here?"
He immediately asked the assistant director, "Didn't Lu Xingxing and the others meet up with you? Have you seen them?"
The assistant director shook his head in confusion: "We entered the village after meeting up with Taoist Priest Ma and Taoist Priest Wang. We just came from the other side and didn't see any other guests."
Yan Shixun quickly learned the whole story from the Taoist priest and the program crew, and his brows slowly furrowed.
"So if that's the case, there must be at least three villages that existed at the same time before, but they were separated from each other, so that when we are all in the village at the same time, we can't see each other."
Yan Shixun said: "Before I entered Baizhi Lake, I had already told Xingxing and the others to leave the village. They were accompanied by a seriously injured Master Bai and dozens of rescue team members."
"Although Xingxing is playful, he still doesn't have the courage to disobey what I say."
But the current situation is that no one has ever seen the Stars group.
Yan Shixun had a bad feeling in his heart.
Taoist Priest Li's expression also turned serious.
He realized that the scene he had seen before... was most likely what Xingxing was experiencing!
That was not the future. It was the heaven and earth telling him that Xingxing and others were still trapped on the other side, and he should take his children away quickly before Baizhi Lake completely disappeared along with the old Fengdu!
"I have seen the stars, when I was feeling the heaven and earth."
Taoist Priest Li said in a low and solemn tone: "He..."
"Burn in flames."
Yan Shixun and Taoist Li looked at each other and suddenly realized the reason at the same time.
Lu Xingxing must have used a spell!
Under the ghost way, any means of exorcising ghosts will incur punishment from the ghost way.
Just as ghosts will burn when they touch the talisman under the road, the exorcist will be like inviting fire to himself when he uses the talisman under the road of ghosts.
This was the method Yan Shixun used when he burned the old Fengdu core and found the opponent's loophole and exploited it.
But Yan Shixun remembered very clearly that he had clearly told Lu Xingxing about the matters concerning the ghost way, and it was impossible for Lu Xingxing not to know the consequences of his use of the talisman.
But even so, he still used...
There is only one possibility -
The situation was so critical at the time that Lu Xingxing had no choice but to use talismans to protect himself or others even though he knew the consequences.
In other words, after leaving the deserted village, Lu Xingxing and his group encountered evil spirits again.
The moment Yan Shixun figured it out, his heart sank.
Lu Xingxing...was seriously injured.
Even though Yan Shixun often marched forward with injuries, and even at this moment his own arm was still bleeding, in his opinion, it was natural for him to shoulder heavier responsibilities. But Xingxing was just a child who had not yet completed his apprenticeship and should not encounter such a thing.
"This place is about to collapse. Once you leave the village, immediately evacuate towards the Shadow Puppet Museum."
Yan Shixun said this quickly, then immediately pulled Ye Li up and walked towards the village entrance with big strides.
The Taoist priest was stunned: "Daoyou Yan, you, what are you going to do?"
Yan Shixun slightly turned sideways, and said in a cold tone: "I'll leave the program team to you Taoist priests."
"I'll go and pick up Xingxing."
The Taoist priest was startled by the anger and determination in Yan Shixun's eyes. It took him a while to react and he hurriedly wanted to chase after him.
But he was stopped by Taoist Li.
"What are you going to do?"
Taoist Priest Li snorted coldly: "Can't you see the work? So many people are waiting to be evacuated, and you want to throw all the heavy work to me?"
"No, Master, I don't mean that."
The Taoist priest said anxiously: "If it is true as you and Daoist Fellow Yan guessed, Xingxing was injured by the ghost, then the situation is so dangerous that Daoist Fellow Yan cannot handle it alone! I am good at medicine and healing, let me go..."
"Need not."
Taoist Li glanced at Yan Shixun's back and said, "He is Xingxing's uncle. Apart from Xingxing's master, there is no one more suitable than him."
He laughed: "Don't think that Xiaoxun has a cold face all day long, which makes my junior brother always worry that he has no friends, but in fact, he is very protective of his shortcomings, and others love and respect him. I feel relieved to leave it to him."
"Can……"
The Taoist pointed in the direction Yan Shixun left and was about to say something when he was slapped on the head by Taoist Li.
"Okay, let's go."
Taoist Priest Li glanced at the White Paper Lake behind him nonchalantly: "The lake water will flood the mountains and rivers. It is also an inevitable cycle, repeating over and over again."
As he spoke, Taoist Priest Li took the lead in picking up the official person next to him, and with his agility he jumped several times in a row over the ruins and mud blocking the way ahead, and ran out of the village.
From his speed, you couldn't tell at all that he is over a hundred years old. He even had better physical strength than the official person in charge, and the person in charge almost fell to the ground because he couldn't keep up with his speed.
For a moment, the official person in charge had no time to ask Master Li anything, and all his attention was focused on running away.
He used to think he was very healthy and energetic. He even finished the entire Binhai City Marathon. But now when he was dragged along by Taoist Priest Li, he realized... the gap between people could be so huge!
If he wasn't afraid of getting a stitch in the side while talking, the person in charge really wanted to ask if Taoist Li had secretly become an immortal without telling him!
The rest of the program crew members who were led by the Taoist priests to run together also looked at Taoist Priest Li and the other Taoist priests with shock and envy.
They always thought that the Taoist priest only needed to recite scriptures and draw talismans, but they didn't expect that the Taoist priest was full of muscles!
Taoist Priest Li can still run so fast at such an old age! And he looks much healthier than these young people.
Staff: You are worthy of being a Taoist. I guess I have to pay attention to my health when I go back.
Staff: I always feel that after I die, Master Li will continue to live... Is it my illusion?
The flood surged against the mountains behind the crowd with such force that it almost swallowed up the entire valley under the mountain range.
The sound of waves resounded in everyone's ears, deafening.
But thanks to the Taoist priests being right beside them, everyone was not overly worried or anxious, except for marveling at the majestic and dangerous beauty.
Over the past thousand years, the world has changed dramatically.
The old Fengdu once hid in Baizhi Lake. Now, under the joint efforts of Yan Shixun and Ye Li, the old Fengdu has completely disappeared from the world. Baizhi Lake and the nearby villages, every inch of land stained with blood and dead souls, are naturally also being held accountable by the Great Dao and are not allowed to continue to exist.
Taoist Priest Li slightly turned sideways in between his rapid runs, and took a last deep look at Baizhi Lake.
That is... the place where Li Chengyun died.
There was once a man of extraordinary talent who sacrificed his life at Baizhi Lake for the sake of all sentient beings.
The flowers on the slanting branches bloomed and fell, and the cycle continued three times to achieve vitality, leaving hope for all living beings in the world.
If Li Chengyun had not chosen death on his own initiative, and if the Great Dao had not collapsed, he would have been canonized as a saint on the spot.
pity……
Taoist Priest Li couldn't bear to watch any longer and sighed deeply.
The ghost path has completely disappeared, and when the road has returned to normal, no ghosts can stop them from leaving Baizhi Lake.
With the presence of Taoist Priest Li and other Taoist priests, they quickly returned to the Shadow Puppet Museum.
From a distance, Bai Shuang saw An Nanyuan and others standing or sitting. There were also many vehicles with Haiyun Temple or special department logos parked on the side, and rescue team members and medical personnel were busy moving among them.
The car lights illuminated the nearby area as bright as day, and the people who had suffered from darkness and anxiety for a long time had tears in their eyes and an urge to cry when they saw the light.
"Annanyuan! Nantian!"
Bai Shuang shouted her companions' names excitedly, even breaking her voice.
When An Nanyuan and the others turned around, a surprised smile suddenly appeared on their originally gloomy faces.
"Bai Shuang! You are all back, great!"
In the makeshift camp, there were bursts of cheers and cries.
Bai Shuang's face turned red with excitement. She ran over and was hugged by the guests. She was so excited after escaping from life and death.
She hugged her friends one by one, and even cried when she saw that everyone was safe.
When the deserted village was besieged by evil spirits, Bai Shuang couldn't even imagine this scene. Now he still had a sense of unreality and had to constantly confirm with the people around him that he had returned safely.
After being put down by the Taoist priest, the staff members immediately sat down anywhere without caring about their image. They were so tired that they couldn't even take one more step.
They were finally able to let out the breath that had been hanging in their stomach and feel relieved.
The rescue team members who returned before the program crew hurried over, helped the staff up, and walked towards the rescue team's car.
There was hot water, hot porridge, warm blankets and a place to sleep.
These things that seem insignificant on weekdays have now become rare luxuries. Many staff members couldn't help crying when they smelled the rice porridge.
It's not because of hunger.
But it was not until this moment, when they smelled this ordinary yet happy scent, that they finally felt a sense of security as if they had returned to the mundane world.
The evil ghost village is cold and damp, and the smell of moss is everywhere, which makes people have all kinds of bad associations.
But here, they felt like they were back home.
In addition to the rescue team members, several other Taoist priests who stayed in the Shadow Puppet Museum were also here. After seeing Taoist Priest Li, they immediately came up to him with surprise.
"Uncle Master, are you okay?"
The Taoist priest with a mustache stepped forward excitedly: "I thought, I thought..."
"Thought I was dead?"
Taoist Priest Li rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, look at your behavior, each one is worse than the other. I can't even die peacefully. I'm afraid you will bring the sky down for me. Even if I die, I have to come back to life."
"A bunch of Taoist priests, none of them are up to the task."
The more he looked at the Taoist priests in front of him, the angrier he felt, especially when he thought of the scene where Yan Shixun overwhelmed the evil spirits in the old Fengdu and brought the old Fengdu to its death, he felt extremely angry.
If it wasn't the wrong timing, he really wanted to just pick up the peach wood sword and beat them one by one.
"Look at Xiaoxun, look at you all. If any of you could stand up to the sky, I wouldn't be so angry that I would come back to life!"
Taoist Priest Li glared and cursed, but no Taoist Priest dared to talk back. They all kept their heads down.
But even though they were scolded, they were still very happy.
With their current age and strength, and the fact that their masters and ancestors scold them... is a blessing.
However, some Taoist priests keenly noticed the change in the way Taoist priest Li addressed Yan Shixun, and couldn't help but wonder what had happened.
But Taoist Li had no intention of solving their puzzles. Instead, he glanced across the entire room. When he did not see Lu Xingxing, the corners of his mouth drooped.
"Where's Xingxing's kid?"
"Yes! Disciple has never seen Xingxing either. Come to think of it, Xingxing must have come back with the guests from the program team..."
The Taoist priest who had returned from the old Fengdu with the official person in charge turned around and raised his hand, wanting to point to the guests not far away, but when he met their sad expressions, he stopped talking.
He had a bad feeling.
The atmosphere in the entire venue became stagnant as a result.
The atmosphere, which had been heated up due to the return of Bai Shuang and others, suddenly became low.
The guests' faces, which had been smiling just now, now turned bitter.
They sat in the rescue vehicle, holding hot water in their hands and wrapped in blankets. Medical staff helped them bandage, but Lu Xingxing...
In order to allow them to get all this and escape from danger, Lu Xingxing took the initiative to stay outside the deserted village and single-handedly stopped all the ghosts and monsters that were chasing them.
Because everyone had just been rescued and Taoist Priest Li and others had just reunited, everyone was still in shock and had not had time to explain Lu Xingxing's situation to the official leaders and others. However, the Taoist priests who had been stationed at the Shadow Puppet Museum from the beginning knew about Lu Xingxing's situation.
The guests fled in panic with the rescue team members. As soon as they ran to the vicinity of the museum, they met the Taoist priests. Before they could even stand firmly, they immediately shouted to the Taoist priests for help, begging them to go back and save Lu Xingxing.
The Taoist priests also rushed over in astonishment to support the guests and listened to them explain the situation while they were gasping for breath.
My heart was also weighed down by a heavy weight.
The Taoist priests had never expected that the child who always skipped classes with a smile on his face and was chased and beaten all over the mountains by Taoist Song Yi with a peach wood sword would actually risk his life to save everyone at the critical moment.
When they heard Taoist Priest Li's question, they were silent for a long time before they sighed and said, "Xingxing, that kid, is also a disciple of our Haiyun Temple."
"I grew up in Haiyun Temple, studied in Haiyun Temple, and I am a full-fledged disciple of Haiyun Temple."
"Even if you die, you are still the heroic spirit of our Haiyun Temple. We should erect a monument for you and receive incense."
The Taoist priest closed his eyes and spoke in a sad tone. He couldn't bear to say anything too harsh, but he didn't dare to let Taoist priest Li and others have any expectations.
The higher the expectations, the faster the disappointment will strike.
Although some Taoist priests had already rushed to the place mentioned by the guests to find Lu Xingxing, other Taoist priests did not dare to have too much expectations.
They knew very well that in this situation...
An intact corpse is rare.
What is more likely is that it will turn into ashes.
Just like the Taoist priests in Haiyun Temple who did not even leave their bodies, they could only build a tomb in the back mountain. The tablets were placed in the main hall, and they would be worshipped by the disciples of the later generations of Haiyun Temple forever. The heroic spirits also protected the disciples of the later generations, and became the power of Haiyun Temple to protect the people.
But Taoist Li already had an idea before asking the question, so he was not too disappointed. This only confirmed his own guess.
Taoist Priest Li nodded calmly, but he was not as pessimistic as other Taoist priests: "Xiao Xun has gone to save Xingxing, I hope he can catch up."
The evil spirit has penetrated into the bones, and the miracle of turning the tide has the vitality to put the declining road back to its right place.
With Yan Shixun here, maybe...
Lu Xingxing can still be saved.
On the other side, Yan Shixun suddenly realized something was wrong after dragging Ye Li not far away.
Even with the guidance of the coordinates of the location that Taoist Li saw when he glimpsed the world, the world around Baizhi Lake had already been torn into pieces due to the struggle among several forces. There were several deserted villages alone, and it was even easier for other places to step into other cut-off worlds.
Just like an 8D overpass, it is easy to find the wrong location even if the location is the same.
Yan Shixun looked up at Ye Li next to him and felt that he had pulled the wrong person.
Zhang Wubing should be brought here.
And Ye Li: “……?”
The Lord of Fengdu never expected that his lover would dislike him for such a thing, but...
"Shi Xun, are you really using the King of Hell as your navigation?"
Ye Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but a different kind of sense of victory still arose in his heart.
Look, Shi Xun thinks I'm his lover, but that Yan Wang guy is just a guide.
——Who would be with navigation? There is no competition, haha.
But the next second after Ye Li asked the question, he heard a light laugh from the side.
"When you, Yan Shixun, grabbed Fengdu, I guessed that you grabbed the wrong person, so I took the initiative to follow you, knowing that you would definitely need me."
The King of Hell's handsome face appeared beside him with a smile: "How is it? Isn't it very considerate?"
Ye Li: "…………"
He gave the King of Hell a cold smile that was enough to send chills down one's spine.
The King of Hell just raised his eyebrows and gave a meaningful smile: What's wrong with navigation? It's better than some useless guy.
Yan Shixun ignored the eye contact between the two and grabbed Yan Wang's wrist and pulled him over: "Navigation... No, take me to find Lu Xingxing!"
The King of Hell waved his folding fan nonchalantly, and lowered his eyes to gaze at the sun, moon, and stars moving on the fan, as if he was observing the stars and determining their positions.
The next moment, his expression suddenly became serious, and he raised his hand and pointed to the path next to him: "This way, take a shortcut."
Ye Li stretched out his long arms, wrapped them around Yan Shixun's waist, and sneered at the King of Hell: "Why bother with that? Could it be that the King of Hell has been away from the underworld for so many years that he has forgotten that ghosts and gods can shrink the ground into an inch?"
King of Hell: "...Tsk, are you implying that I'm no longer the King of Hell?"
However, once the King of Hell accurately determined Lu Xingxing's location, the rest of the things were no longer difficult.
The black fog enveloped the place, and the power of ghosts and gods shocked the four directions. The heaven and earth gave way and the land shrunk to an inch.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the surrounding mountains, rivers and lakes quickly receded, and Yan Shixun only felt a flash before his eyes, and the scene had changed.
Not far away, blazing flames dispelled the surrounding darkness, making the ghosts dare not approach.
The moment they saw Ye Li and Yan Shixun, the evil spirits who had the intention but not the courage to commit crimes and were surrounding the flames were immediately frightened and scattered, trying to escape.
But at this time, both Yan Shixun and Ye Li had already seen the figure in the center of the flames.
——Even though he was in great pain, he still didn't dare to let go of the talisman in his hand. He stood there with his hands in a seal, his back as straight as a pine tree.
Who else could it be if not Lu Xingxing!
Yan Shixun's eyebrows suddenly became cold and sharp, and in extreme anger, he shouted: "How dare you!"
The rich ghost energy flowing in his meridians immediately spread to the surroundings, like an invisible scimitar, instantly cutting the throat of the evil ghost.
Ye Li raised his eyelashes and looked at the evil spirits with disgust.
So in the next second, all the evil spirits that had a causal relationship with Lu Xingxing and caused his current injuries were instantly reduced to ashes no matter how far they fled.
Yan Shixun also flew towards the raging flames, chanting an exorcism spell in reverse order to drive away the vitality and yang energy from Lu Xingxing's body and quickly put out the flames.
When Yan Shixun rushed to Lu Xingxing, he finally saw the child's current appearance.
The high-spirited young musician of the past has disappeared.
The only one left was a warrior who had given his all.
His face was pale and bloodless, with a thick black aura shrouding his forehead. His whole body was cold and without the warmth of a living person. The unhealed wounds from earlier had all bled dry, and a pool of blood had gathered at his feet.
The most fatal thing was the extensive burns on Lu Xingxing's body.
Unlike physical burns, the burns caused by the conflict between vitality and ghostly energy do not hurt the epidermis, but the vitality inside.
It can be said that Lu Xingxing has now been almost drained of all his vitality.
He has no...possibility of staying in the world and living anymore.
Yan Shixun's pupils constricted, and his outstretched hand was even trembling, not daring to touch Lu Xingxing.
It was clearly just a brief farewell, so how come the young man who was so high-spirited and daring enough to fight against the heavens before has become so disconnected and isolated now?
"Star……"
Yan Shixun called Lu Xingxing softly, his usually calm voice trembling uncontrollably.
Lu Xingxing was still relying on his own willpower to hold on, staggering but not daring to fall down.
The pain, which far exceeded the limit of human endurance, had stopped his brain from functioning, and the only thought left was to bite the bullet and die.
That is——
We must delay the evil spirit and give everyone time to run to a safe place. Even if, even if... he dies, it is not a pity.
When Lu Xingxing heard the shouting in his ear, it took several beats for his slow brain to finally come to his senses and remember why the voice sounded so familiar.
He twisted his neck with difficulty, his eyes, which had lost focus due to the pain, had no light in them at all. He just looked blankly in the direction where the sound came from. Then, his pale lips, which had lost too much blood, tried to force a smile.
"Uncle Master, Aunt Master..."
Yan Shixun stretched out his arms to protect Lu Xingxing and nodded heavily: "It's me, I'm here to find you."
"Are they safe?"
Lu Xingxing was barely breathing, but he still remembered the purpose of his persistence.
Yan Shixun felt as if his heart was being clenched by an invisible hand, and his throat was so sore that he could hardly speak. However, under Lu Xingxing's gaze, who couldn't see anything clearly, he still answered solemnly: "Don't worry, you did a good job, Xingxing."
"You successfully protected them. You are an excellent Taoist priest."
Yan Shixun paused, swallowed his sobs, and said, "Now, it's my turn to protect you."
"Star."
Lu Xingxing's eyelashes trembled, then he smiled and slowly closed his eyes.
The exhausted body fell limply to the ground.
Yan Shixun, who was prepared, immediately caught him and held him horizontally in his arms.
But when Lu Xingxing's body, as cold as if taken out of the morgue, was pressed against Yan Shixun's chest, he couldn't help but feel sad.
He was clearly still a child who had not yet finished his studies, and a naughty boy who skipped classes all over the mountains and fields with a smile on his face. How come in the blink of an eye, he could become a supporter of others?
Ye Li walked over and put his hand on the top of Lu Xingxing's head. He lowered his eyes slightly and was silent for a moment, then said, "The situation is very serious."
"But don't worry, Shi Xun."
The Lord of Fengdu solemnly gave his verdict: "Lu Xingxing has merits. No matter what kind of ghosts, they cannot take away his life. His name still belongs to the human world."
"I will help you and rescue him together."
After everyone learned that Lu Xingxing did not come back, they lost their cheerful mood and anxiously waited for Lu Xingxing in the temporary camp, hoping to see that figure coming back alive and kicking.
Even though Taoist Li believed in Yan Shixun, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The morning sun rises slowly from behind the mountains, the yang energy rises rapidly, the coldness in the mountains recedes, and the bright sunlight envelopes everyone.
And in the morning mist, several slender figures walked towards us firmly from a distance.
Everyone was delighted and quickly stood up and wanted to rush over to greet him.

But Taoist Li was not disturbed by the crying around him. He just looked straight at Yan Shixun, waiting for him to give him an answer.
