Chapter 166 Don't Let Me Touch You
Wan Yan shouted, "Disperse!"
People quickly jumped in all directions, avoiding the fallen trees.
Jia Luo quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted a spell. A spiritual shield was erected in front of everyone, repelling the falling trees.
Everyone looked around, and Wan Yan panted and said, "They want to kill us halfway!"
Wen Zhi held up the peach wood sword and nodded slightly: "I think so too!"
Jia Luo's face was tense, and her eyes were full of determination: "I will never let Lin Lan succeed. We must find her as soon as possible."
Having said that, he went up the mountain first.
Seeing this, everyone followed Jia Luo's footsteps.
At this time, the fog in the mountains and forests became thicker and thicker, and it was almost pitch dark. People could only rely on the faint light of spiritual power to illuminate the way forward.
Not long after walking, a faint Buddhist chant came from afar. The sound was ethereal, yet it was indescribably eerie.
Everyone couldn't help but stop and look alert.
"This sound is not right, everyone be careful."
Wan Yan reminded in a low voice, and the spiritual power in his hand became stronger and stronger.
At this moment, Dahua, who had been squatting on Ning Qinghe's shoulder, let out a groaning sound in one direction.
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted to Dahua. Ning Qinghe gently stroked Dahua's back and asked softly, "Dahua, what did you find?"
Dahua leaned close to Ning Qinghe's ear and whispered, "There's a temple over there!"
When Ning Qinghe heard this, his expression became cold and his eyes were full of confusion.
"What's the matter, Third Brother?" Jia Luo asked curiously.
Ning Qinghe stretched out his hand, pointed in that direction, and said in a deep voice: "There is a temple over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction Ning Qinghe pointed and frowned slightly.
Fu Jiuhuai murmured softly, "It's quite strange that a temple appeared out of nowhere in this deep mountain forest."
Jia Luo looked at the direction of Ning Qinghe's finger and thought to himself, "The appearance of this temple is too strange. With all the weird things happening one after another, it must be related. But if it is really a trap, we can't retreat. After all, it is related to whether we can find Lin Lan and rescue our senior brother."
Thinking of this, Jia Luo turned around and looked at everyone, "Senior brothers, Brother Shimo, no matter what secrets this temple hides, we have to go explore it."
After hearing what Jia Luo said, everyone nodded in agreement.
Although the road ahead is foggy and dangerous, they all have the same belief in their hearts and will never give up halfway.
So, everyone walked towards the temple carefully.
The fog grew thicker, like an invisible wall blocking their steps, and every step was extremely difficult.
People can only rely on the faint light of spiritual power to barely see the road under their feet.
The faint Buddhist chanting still follows them like a shadow, ethereal yet slightly chilling, constantly stirring everyone's tense nerves.
As we walked, the vague outline of an ancient temple emerged in the mist.
The temple gate was half-open, and the vermilion paint on the door had peeled off, revealing the rotten and decayed wood, as if silently telling the vicissitudes and loneliness of the years.
Under the eaves of the door, a few strings of rusty copper bells swayed gently in the breeze, making a slight "ding-dong" sound, which seemed particularly eerie in this dead silent mountain forest.
"Everyone, be careful. This temple is a bit strange." Wan Yan warned in a low voice.
Everyone held their own magic tools tightly in their hands and slowly approached the temple.
The fog was like layers of thick curtains, shrouding the temple tightly.
When they stepped into the temple courtyard, a cold breath hit them in the face, as if countless invisible eyes were watching them in secret.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and the stone paths were covered with moss and fallen leaves, making it look desolate and bleak.
Jia Luo looked around and couldn't help but mutter, "Why is there no one in this temple?"
"Don't be in a hurry, let's go in and take a look first." Wan Yan said in a deep voice and walked towards the main hall of the temple first.
Everyone followed closely, carefully crossed the courtyard and came to the door of the hall.
The door of the hall was ajar, with a faint ray of light coming through the gap.
Wen Zhi used the handle of his peach wood sword to gently push the door open, and the door creaked open.
When people walked into the hall, they found it dark and empty inside. Several broken Buddha statues stood quietly on the altar, and their faces had long since become blurred.
"This temple looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, so how come there is Sanskrit sound?" Ning Qinghe frowned and looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.
At this moment, a faint Buddhist sound rang in everyone's ears again.
Everyone's heart tensed up and they tightened their grip on the magic weapons in their hands, looking vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
Jia Luo looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small shrine in the corner of the hall. Inside was a small Buddha statue. There were some strange runes engraved on the base of the statue, emitting a faint green light.
"The runes on the base of this Buddha statue are so strange."
Jia Luo's heart moved, and he walked forward quickly, observing the runes carefully.
"It's actually a seal." Jia Luo said in a deep voice, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
She knew that there must be some danger hidden in the temple, and this Buddha statue was the key.
"What is sealed?" Wen Zhi asked curiously, and couldn't help but move forward to take a closer look at the runes.
"Don't touch it!" Jia Luo suddenly shouted, grabbed Wen Zhi's arm and pulled him away from the Buddha statue.
At this moment, the runes on the base of the Buddha statue suddenly lit up, and waves of spiritual power surged out from the runes, and the entire hall was instantly enveloped by a powerful spiritual power.
"Damn it! You won't even let me touch you!" Wen Zhi's face changed drastically, and he quickly used the peach wood sword in his hand to block the powerful spiritual power.
However, that spiritual power tightly surrounded everyone.
"Scatter!" Jia Luo shouted and jumped back first. Everyone also scattered around to avoid the powerful spiritual power.
That spiritual power seemed to have life, following everyone closely.
"Oh, this won't do!"
Jia Luo said as she quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted a spell. Spiritual power surged out of her body, forming beams of spiritual power that shot towards the runes on the base of the Buddha statue.
Those spiritual power beams collided with the spiritual power fluctuations on the runes, emitting a series of piercing explosions that shook the entire hall.
"Lolo, be careful!"
Upon seeing this, Wen Zhi hurriedly swung the peach wood sword in his hand. Sword Qi surged out from the tip of the sword and flew towards Jia Luo, trying to help her break the seal formation.
However, the fluctuations of spiritual power became more and more violent, trapping Jialuo and Wen Zhi tightly in place.
Jia Luo shouted: "Little Qilin, break it for me!"
As Jialuo shouted, a soft light emanated from the jade pendant on her neck.
The soft light instantly transformed into a small and exquisite Qilin with flames burning all over its body. It let out a clear roar and rushed straight towards the spiritual power that trapped them.
Jia Luo and Wen Zhidun felt the pressure was relieved and took advantage of the situation to break out.
When everyone saw Jialuo and Wenzhi escape from trouble, they gathered around them.
Wan Yan frowned, looking at the base of the Buddha statue in the hall, which was still shining with strange light, and said in a deep voice: "This sealed object is too weird. We should not stay here for long. Let's withdraw first and make plans later."
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in Jialuo's mind.
