Chapter 103 The Evil Image's Conspiracy
Night fell quickly and the temperature in the mountains dropped suddenly. Everyone who had taken off their coats at noon and felt a little hot put them on again.
I don’t know what the situation is on Yuntai Mountain, so I chose ten people to go and explore it this time.
Qingyun Temple was the host and was more familiar with the situation in Yuntaishan, so there were three people from Qingyun Temple to take them to Yuntaishan.
In addition to Han Dong and Shang Qi, there was also a man named Sun Yuan, who was the elder of Qingyun Temple and the oldest of the ten people.
Qing Yanrou brought Chu Tingbai and the people from Qingyun Temple, making a total of five people. Two people were added from the special department. The people who came from Huoyun Temple were Taoist Yang Xiu and a disciple who looked to have good cultivation.
Originally, Bai Yi also wanted to go with them, but his cultivation was not good enough, so he could only stay in Qingyun and search with others to see if the evil image had any other tricks left. The person who went to Baiyun Temple was his senior brother.
He looked at Chu Tingbai who was always by Qing Yanrou's side, and felt very sad and uncomfortable.
He didn't expect that Chu Tingbai was actually Qing Yanrou's apprentice, and he didn't expect that his cultivation level was far higher than his own after only a few months of apprenticeship.
He now regretted it very much. When she asked him if he wanted to join Yantai Temple, he had refused outright.
But it's no use regretting it now. In this line of work, I lack innate talent and it's hard to change it later.
——
The ten people took some necessary supplies and first took a car to the foot of Yuntai Mountain, and finally hiked into the mountain.
Looking at the towering mountains hidden in the darkness, everyone felt as if their hearts were being pressed down by a huge mountain, so depressing that they could hardly breathe.
Chu Tingbai's feeling was different from theirs. There was a familiar aura on this mountain, and he didn't like it.
People who practice cultivation have stronger five senses than ordinary people, and there is moonlight tonight, so they don’t need other lighting tools.
And so, everyone went into the mountains.
The cries of animals could be heard from time to time in the forest. Winter nights are usually their time to hibernate, but they seemed particularly restless.
This made everyone alert, and they walked up the mountain while carefully observing their surroundings.
The higher you go, the lower the temperature and the thinner the air.
"Why do I feel like something is getting more and more wrong the further I walk?"
Shang Qi's voice was full of doubt.
At this time they had reached the middle of the mountain. They were surrounded by tall pines and hemlocks, which blocked the moonlight. The light could not shine in because it was too dark around them.
Now that they had reached a higher altitude, it was understandable that there were fewer animals. However, the scene was completely different from that at the foot of the mountain, which made them feel uneasy. It was too quiet.
Although everyone's eyesight was better than that of ordinary people, they still took out their flashlights.
Looking at the identical scenery around him, Shang Qi couldn't help but wonder.
"You just discovered it."
"Ah, Brother, what do you mean?"
"Hey, why are there only two of us? Where are the others?"
He was so busy observing his surroundings that he didn't notice that only he and Han Dong were left, and the rest of the people were nowhere to be seen.
"That man must have set up many traps in this mountain, and we just happened to fall into his trap."
Han Dong's voice was neither hurried nor slow, and it was particularly clear in this quiet forest.
Shang Qi was a little panicked at first, but after hearing his calm voice, he immediately calmed down and worked with him to find a way to break the situation.
......
On the other side, Chu Tingbai and Qing Yanrou were the only ones left.
They were able to set up such a large maze quietly to separate all of them. This was nothing like the evil behavior they had shown before when they ran away.
In this situation, she was a little worried about the other eight people. Although their cultivation was considered top-notch in Taoism, they still had some difficulty facing the evil image.
After counting on her fingers, she figured out that they wouldn't be in any major danger on this trip, so she ignored it and started observing her surroundings.
When they first entered the mountains, they could feel the restlessness and anxiety of various animals, but now they could not hear any animal calls at all.
It was unusually quiet.
After feeling it carefully, they found that the flow of air was relatively slow, as if there was an invisible membrane isolating them from the outside world.
Just when Qing Yanrou wanted to use her spiritual power to break the barrier, Chu Tingbai suddenly grabbed her hand and walked along a small path nearby.
The air flow in this path was obviously smoother than in other places, but how did he know?
"How do you know?"
"intuition."
Chu Tingbai couldn't explain it clearly, but he knew that the aura that disgusted him was in this direction.
Moreover, since entering Yuntai Mountain, he could actually feel that the restlessness of the animals in the mountains and forests came from that direction.
He could understand the fear and anxiety in their cries.
Afraid that she wouldn't understand why he had this intuition, he didn't say anything.
The path meandered all the way to the top of the mountain. The two walked slowly upwards. The higher they went, the thinner the air became, the lower the temperature became, and there was even ice on the road beneath their feet.
Looking up, you can only see a vast expanse of white, with snow-capped mountains on the top.
In the eyes of others, the top of the mountain looked like an ordinary snow-capped mountain, but in the eyes of the two of them, it was shrouded in thick black fog.
It is particularly conspicuous under the reflection of moonlight and snow.
A barely audible dragon roar came from the other side of the mountain top.
The two looked at each other, and Qing Yanrou took out the magic talisman and used it on herself and Chu Tingbai respectively. Their speed became faster and faster.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them climbed over the top of the snow-capped mountain and reached the shady side of the mountain.
I saw a man in a white robe sitting on the snow, his hands clasped in front of his chest, muttering some incantation to himself. When he noticed the two people coming, he suddenly opened his eyes.
A pair of eyes that originally belonged to humans, but at this moment the eyeballs did not look like those of normal humans.
Those eyes were no longer black and white, or brown, but golden, and had vertical pupils!
It looked especially like the little black snake's eyes, but there was a hint of innocence in the little black snake's eyes, a sign of its newfound wisdom.
The man in front of him had eyes full of cruelty, indifference, and resentment.
"Zhu Qingyuan! Why do you keep following me around? We're from the same clan after all, why do you have to kill us all?"
The man looked at the two people who were less than a hundred meters away from him, and began to form seals with his hands, faster and faster.
As he finished speaking, another tragic dragon roar was heard from underground.
Qing Yanrou and the other person frowned tightly. She signaled Chu Tingbai to attract the man's attention, and then she pressed her vital point silently, releasing all the sealed power.
"What you are doing now is enough to prove that I was right to kill you. I just didn't expect you to have a trick up your sleeve after you blew yourself up."
Chu Tingbai said in a deep voice based on the fragmented memories he saw in his dream.
Originally, the white-robed man's attention was attracted by him, but when Qing Yanrou released the sealed power, his eyes suddenly widened.
His eyes were full of disbelief!
"Is it you?"
