But where will Xiao Changsheng run to?
The exorcism formation that was deployed with Tang Yan's heart blood as the core is strong and stable enough. As long as you stay within the formation, you will not be corroded by the Yin energy.
However, the range within which this exorcism formation can be deployed is indeed limited. Once out of the range protected by this exorcism formation, even the Buddhist disciple Tang Yan cannot escape the erosion of the Yin Qi!
Although Xiao Changsheng is young, he is not stupid. With Tang Yan's instructions, he will never run around and cause trouble at this time. There is only one possibility... Xiao Changsheng was taken away!
Just when all their attention was on Tang Yan!
Moreover, this is not the point. The point is that Wen He and Shen Yan suddenly felt an extremely ominous premonition and had a guess that they dared not think about!
What if... from the very beginning, the abbot was attracted by the one in front of him, and the monster used the abbot's hand to release himself?
So, in this case, the monsters' target is most likely not Tang Yan? Although Tang Yan is powerful, he is more of a threat to those monsters. They will definitely not easily provoke Tang Yan.
Or perhaps, provoking Tang Yan was a collateral damage to the abbot. So, what exactly do those monsters want? Resurrection? Power? Or... a container?
A container that could bring them back to life? Wait, speaking of containers, isn't there already a half-finished product? It's the Little Immortal on the verge of the Devil's Fall!
Thinking of this, Wen He and Shen Yan's faces changed at the same time. They couldn't help but take a breath and hurriedly got up to look for Xiao Changsheng.
It’s still in time, it’s still in time, it must be in time.
However, Wen He and Chen Yan were still a step too late. The next moment, the huge monster in front of them, which had seemed extremely dull and seemed to be acting only on instinct, suddenly spoke in human language and laughed.
"Successful, 'we' are almost successful, we can finally be resurrected..."
In just a moment, the scene before his eyes had completely changed. The entire sky above his head was covered with layer upon layer of yin energy. Those who were devoured by the yin energy and lost their minds were no longer human. They became chess pieces controlled by the big monster, hacking and killing madly.
The lingering smell of blood deepened layer by layer, forcing people to vomit. The resentful souls surrounding them that could not be reincarnated dragged people into a hell of despair.
But these were not the worst. The worst thing was that Wen He and Shen Yan finally saw where Xiao Changsheng was. He was just a few meters away from the big monster, and was being forcibly dragged towards the big monster by a tall monk.
And this tall monk was none other than one of the many monks who had just made Xiao Changsheng shout to quickly enter the exorcism formation. Moreover, the eyes of this monk were empty and his body movements were very stiff. It was obvious that this was not the monk's original intention, but he was affected by the Yin energy at some point and the inner demon took the opportunity to enter, and now he was controlled by the big monster.
If Little Changsheng really fell into the hands of the great demon, it would be the end! The great demon would be resurrected in Little Changsheng, and Little Changsheng's soul, as a vessel, would be completely devoured by the great demon as a tonic, with no possibility of reincarnation. It would be true annihilation!
Since Wen He and Shen Yan could discover this, Tang Yan, who was closer to the big monster, could understand the key better. Before he found that Xiao Changsheng was being caught and taken to the big monster, Tang Yan's face, which was usually cold and indifferent, had changed drastically, and his mind was even more shaken. The exorcism formation behind him, which was supported by Tang Yan, shook a few times.
But this time, Tang Yan didn't care about so many things and rushed directly towards Xiao Changsheng. However, the Buddhist Tang Yan was still one step late. Just when he was about to catch Xiao Changsheng, the big monster grabbed Xiao Changsheng and swallowed him in one gulp.
Then, in the next moment, the huge body of the big monster quickly shrank inward. From the originally unstable and somewhat vague body, it gradually became solid, as if it had solidified from a ball of cotton wool into a dark, gelatinous solid, until it shrank to the height of a ninety-year-old child, and the face of the little Changsheng gradually appeared.
No, or to be more precise, it should be those dark, gel-like solids that seeped into Xiao Changsheng's body at an extremely fast speed. When all the black gelatinous substances were completely seeped in, it meant that Xiao Changsheng was no longer Xiao Changsheng. His body and soul had been completely occupied and devoured by the big monster!
However, Buddhist disciple Tang Yan did not stop his movements. His movements were even a little faster than before.
Everything that happened next could be said to be the first time Wen He saw the most powerful side of a person of metaphysics, but it was also the first time he wished so much that all this had never happened.
The Buddhist disciple Tang Yan picked up a sharp long knife at the moment he rushed forward, and when he was about to grab Xiao Changsheng, he stabbed it into his heart without hesitation. The bright and dazzling red color dyed Tang Yan's chest in large patches, and also made the ground, Xiao Changsheng's face, and the jade pendant on his neck all stained with extremely dazzling red.
But at this moment, the expression on the face of the Buddhist disciple Tang Yan was still extremely calm, as if the one whose heart was pierced by the sharp long knife was not him. He just held the little immortal in front of him tightly with both hands and shouted word by word: "Come on, compared to this child in front of you, isn't my blood more attractive to you? Now I will let you slaughter me right in front of you, aren't you tempted?! Big monster!"
In that instant, the black gelatinous substance that had been gradually seeping into Xiao Changsheng's body suddenly stopped and began to wriggle and struggle frantically. Tang Yan's blood had a great effect on those evil creatures. If they could devour Tang Yan, the strength of those great monsters would suddenly increase by three times. Then, without a container, they could be resurrected!
Especially at this time, in order to increase his attraction to the big monster, Tang Yan did not hesitate to stab himself in the heart again. Now, Tang Yan, covered in blood, became a great feast to tempt the big monster. The big monster finally couldn't bear it anymore, and saw those black gelatinous bodies rushing straight towards Tang Yan in front of him.
Until... the big monster that turned into a black gel finally separated from Xiao Changsheng's body bit by bit.
After a while, Xiao Changsheng's consciousness finally returned to normal. He opened his eyes in a daze, but when he saw the scene in front of him clearly, he seemed to understand something in an instant, but it seemed that he understood nothing. He just felt his eye sockets hot, and some salty and astringent transparent liquid rushed out. He called out Tang Yan's name in panic and confusion.
In this moment, Tang Yan, who had always had a cold expression and never expressed much emotion, smiled, a very warm and brilliant smile, and whispered something to Xiao Changsheng.
After he finished speaking, Tang Yan suddenly pushed the little immortal in front of him and pushed him away. The next moment, Tang Yan sat down and made a hand seal. In an instant, the Samadhi True Fire was burning on Tang Yan's body. With himself at the center of the formation, he directly burned the big monster attached to him.
The fire spread directly to the entire Star Observation Temple, or to be more precise, to the entire illusion. The illusion of the Star Observation Temple was about to collapse.
In this burning red firelight, the last scene Wen He saw was that the little Changsheng who had been pushed away ran back staggeringly and squatted in front of the Buddhist disciple Tang Yan, staring at him without blinking. He didn't know when the tears shed by the little Changsheng had turned into tears of blood... And at this moment, a hoarse, familiar yet unfamiliar boy's voice came out, echoing in his ears. The voice said, "Do you want to know what the Buddhist disciple said to me in the end? He said that although I don't regret what I'm doing now, I've lived for nearly twenty years and have lived enough. I'm not afraid of death. But at this last moment, I realized that I wanted to live a little longer, even if his life was not perfect at all... Little Changsheng, if, I mean if, if I can meet you again in the next life, will you still be my disciple?"
"For many years, I have been waiting, searching, and suddenly realized that perhaps the name Master gave me was his wish: immortality, immortality, an ordinary, long life. But it is really difficult and painful to survive forever. But compared to the pain of living a long life, I am more afraid of forgetting you... Master, after so many years, I can finally see you again. Can you still be my Master again?"
The illusion gradually disappeared, and what appeared before Wen He and the others again was the temple they had seen before. However, this temple was no longer the once glorious Stargazing Temple, but a completely abandoned and collapsed temple.
As the abandoned temple appeared in front of Wen He and the others, it was the little Changsheng who walked out of the illusion. No, it was not the little Changsheng who walked out of the illusion. The little Changsheng in front of them was different from the little monk in linen clothes in the illusion. He was wearing modern clothes!
Not only that, at first glance, the little Changsheng in front of him seemed to be the same little Changsheng from before, but upon closer inspection, he found too many inconsistencies, not only in his attire, but also because his eyes no longer had the clarity and clarity they had many years ago, but had become extremely turbid, like the eyes of an old man who was about to die. However, his face still remained at the age he saw in the illusion, as if from that moment on, the little Changsheng had lived on in the same appearance as before, until the moment he met his master's reincarnation.
Wait, so the reincarnation of Buddhist disciple Tang Yan is...
Suddenly, Wen He understood everything, his heart began to beat faster, and an extremely ominous premonition spread.
However, before Wen He could say anything, Xiao Changsheng, who had turned into some kind of monster because of his obsession, suddenly walked in front of Shen Yan and suddenly raised a very bright smile. It seemed that he was talking to Shen Yan, but it sounded more like he was talking to Tang Yan, who had died a long time ago, through Shen Yan.
"After so many years, Master, I finally met you. Did you see it? Now, it's my turn to fulfill your wish. Master, you no longer need to be bound by what the world calls pity..."
In just a moment, the surrounding scene changed again. It was unknown when the evil energy had spread from all directions.
The next moment, Wen He felt dizzy, and his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness and knew nothing. But what he saw at the last moment was Chen Yan's expression suddenly changing, as if in just that instant, he suddenly became a different person. His facial features were the same, but his temperament was completely different and became extremely unfamiliar.
Looking in front of Wen He, it was like... a stranger.
