Qingyun Temple's abbot Shouwu lowered his brows on a stern face. He frowned when he heard this but did not refute: "Okay, next round."
The two men sat opposite each other in front of the chessboard on a low couch. One played with black pieces and the other with white pieces and began to play. The crisp sound of the pieces dropping echoed in the room, breaking the heaviness of the room.
The abbot of Ganqing Temple, Shoukai, watched from the side, occasionally picking up the teacup on the table to take a sip, frowning and saying nothing.
"Junior Brother Shoukai, this tea tastes really good to you. The fragrance of the tea is refreshing and it is really enjoyable!" The master of Shoukong Temple made a move, then looked up and teased the master of Shoukai Temple.
Upon hearing this, Master Shoukai was slightly stunned. He then closed his teacup and smiled, saying, "Yes, this tea is the pre-rain Longjing tea that was just picked this year. It's really good to drink."
"Hmph!" The abbot of Shouwu Monastery snorted coldly upon hearing this, and said coldly to his son, "Those who cultivate the Tao think about these external things all day long. No wonder they haven't made any progress in their cultivation for many years."
Upon hearing this, Master Shoukai was visibly embarrassed. He put down his teacup with a thud and then angrily sneered, "Of course he's no match for Senior Brother Shouwu. He's a proud and arrogant child of destiny. His cultivation is improving by leaps and bounds. How can ordinary people compare to him?"
"Hey! Hey!!" Seeing this, the Shoukong Monastery Master raised his hand to stop them, saying in a gentle tone, "You're both so old. You haven't seen each other for decades, but you're still arguing the moment you meet. If this gets out, people will laugh at you."
"I don't mean to quarrel. It's just that someone doesn't like me." The master of Shoukai Temple spoke coldly with anger on his face. After that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Obstinate!" The abbot of Shouwu Temple said lightly without raising his head, and then he dropped another piece from his hand with a "bang".
Upon hearing this, the abbot of Shoukong Monastery helplessly called out, "Senior Brother Shouwu, it's not easy for us to sit here together for a moment, so let's put this aside for now."
After hearing this, Master Shouwu frowned and looked up at Master Shoukai who was full of anger, then fell silent.
After a long silence, Master Shouwu spoke. Master Shoukai suddenly spoke, thinking of something, "I've already thought about this matter. Since the problem was caused by a disciple of mine, Ganqing Temple, the consequences will naturally fall solely on me, the master."
"When the blood sacrifice formation is activated, I will naturally fill the eye of the formation and will not implicate anyone else."
As soon as these words came out, the originally silent Shouwu Monastery Master frowned even more tightly, and his expression became completely gloomy. "Ridiculous! Listen to what you said, is that reasonable?"
He threw the chess piece in his hand, looked up at the abbot of Shoukai Monastery and said in a deep voice: "Is this the time to be willful? You go fill the key point of the formation? Can you fill it alone?"
The head of Shoukong Monastery also spoke up: "Junior Brother Shoukai, this is another calamity that befell all of us in the Dao Sect. My brothers and I will not ask you to bear it alone. You must remember not to act impulsively."
"Brother Shouwu, isn't that right?" After saying this, Master Shoukong looked at Master Shouwu, smiled, and gave him a look to signal him to calm down.
"Let's do this as we agreed before. The three of us will work together to suppress it. Do you understand?" The abbot of Shouwu Temple said the decision with a serious face.
After saying this, the three people in the room stopped talking about this topic and started talking about other things.
Ji Miaomiao listened for a while, and when she saw there was no news, she withdrew her mental power.
She opened her eyes, took out her cell phone to check the time, and found that it was just after two in the morning, and there were still about three hours until dawn.
Inside the room, Taoist Master Daoming was sleeping soundly on the bed, snoring softly.
Ji Miaomiao put away her phone and thought for a while, then stood up, opened the door and walked out. She gently closed the door before going out, and then walked down the stairs.
The yard was full of Taoist disciples who were barely asleep. They had all just fallen asleep at this time. She walked past them with light steps, trying not to disturb others.
In the corridor in the courtyard, Ji Miaomiao saw Xuanyu sitting on the railing with his legs propped up and looking at the moonlight.
"What are you thinking about?" She walked over and started talking.
The moonlight in the sky was bright, and the cold white moonlight seemed even brighter in the dark sky. Xuan Yu watched silently in silence with a serious expression.
Hearing this voice suddenly, he retracted his gaze and turned to look at the person who came. Seeing that it was Ji Miaomiao, he turned his head and looked casually at the courtyard and said, "Junior Sister Xuanjing, why are you here?"
"I came here because I have something I want to ask Senior Brother." Ji Miaomiao found a railing nearby and sat down. She looked at Xuan Yu and smiled, "I wonder if Senior Brother can help me solve this problem?"
"What's the matter?" Xuan Yu asked.
"Blood Sacrifice Formation." Ji Miaomiao said a few words softly, and then looked at him: "How to break the formation, do you know anything?"
"Why do you ask that?"
Perhaps it was because it was the night and the atmosphere was perfect for chatting with only the two of them, the resistance on Xuanyu's face weakened a little.
He asked, and without waiting for Ji Miaomiao's answer, he continued, "Is it so important that you don't know how to break the formation? Junior sister, you don't need to know anything. Everything will be fine tomorrow."
Ji Miaomiao thought of the reality in the original owner's memory, where she and her master lost their lives without knowing anything. She lowered her eyes, smiled, and said, "I think if I know more about the situation, I'll feel more at ease, and maybe I can be of some help."
After she said this, she raised her eyes and looked straight at Xuan Yu, with a smile on her lips and an expression full of anticipation.
Xuan Yu felt the gaze and turned to look at her. He then pursed his lips and sighed. After a long while, he spoke, "The Blood Sacrifice Formation. The Master of the Central Temple just explained it in detail in the front hall. As for breaking the formation, you need to defeat the evil god being sacrificed, or seal it."
