"In theory, that's true!"

Chu Tian nodded solemnly.

If Xi Hou hadn't lied to him.

Then the so-called gods are nothing but a joke.

All the legends about gods and immortals in Chinese history are hoaxes created by people in the gods and immortal worlds in order to cover up the truth of the year.

As Xi Hou was from the underworld and had nothing to do with him before, there was no reason or meaning to deceive him.

What's more, what Xi Hou said was that these things were known to everyone in the underworld and could be recorded in any history book.

If there is a chance to go to the underworld, I can easily verify it then.

"Let's go, go find your bestie first. Now is not the time to think about these things. It's meaningless!"

Touching Coco's little head, Chu Tian comforted her softly.

"Uh-huh!"

Coco nodded obediently, what Chu Tian said made sense.

These things are too far away from her, so there is really no need to worry about them.

The group walked towards Kaifu Temple.

Although they have entered Wangcheng District, they are still ten kilometers away from Kaifu Temple.

It was impossible to walk, so they took a taxi and in about twenty minutes, the three of them arrived at the gate of Kaifu Temple.

Kaifu Temple is presided over by eminent monks, so there is a constant stream of pilgrims coming and going.

Chu Tian looked up and couldn't help frowning.

It was strange, because he really didn't sense any ghostly presence in there.

"Give me back my partner, please, give me back my partner, this is the only partner I have..."

At this moment, an incompatible voice appeared at the gate of Kaifu Temple.

Chu Tian looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old man in plain clothes kneeling on his knees at the gate of Kaifu Temple, crying loudly.

The pilgrims around couldn't help but talk and watch curiously.

At this time, a young monk walked out of the temple, came to the old man with a helpless look on his face and said:

"Uncle, we really don't have your spouse here. Your spouse is missing. You should go find the police!"

"Yes! You guys cheated my wife away from me. Please give her back to me. Please, give her back to me!!!"

The old man knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, crying so sadly.

"Uncle, you are being unreasonable. We asked you to look for your partner in our temple. It is true that your partner is not here. Why are you blackmailing Kaifu Temple?"

The young monk looked helpless.

"My wife used to love coming to your Kaifu Temple. Last night she said she wanted to go to your Kaifu Temple to pray for peace, and then she never came back. If it wasn't you who hid her, who else could it be!"

Upon hearing this, Coco's eyes widened.

Because this is exactly the same story as her best friend's disappearance.

Coco was just about to go up and ask the old man for details.

But at this time, the pilgrims around had already attacked the old man.

"I see you are so old, why are you so unreasonable? Just because your spouse used to like coming to Kaifu Temple, you say that it was Kaifu Temple that arrested your spouse?"

"That's right! Didn't the monk at Kaifu Temple ask you to look for it? And there's no such thing, right? Why are you still making a fuss?"

"In today's world, evil spirits are rampant. Your spouse might have been captured by an evil spirit. If this happens, you should call the police or contact the 749 Bureau!"

…

The pilgrims around were talking to each other, leaving the old man speechless.

There were even pilgrims who became so emotional that they started to drive the old man away.

Helpless, the old man could only leave sadly.

Seeing this, Ke Ke quickly chased after him and said:

"Uncle, can you tell me? What about your partner? What's going on?"

The old man looked up at Coco, sighed deeply and said sadly:

"It was around 6 o'clock last night. After dinner, my wife said she was going to Kaifu Temple to pray for peace. After that, there was no news. She didn't come home all night, and no one answered the phone!"

"Then why do you think it was the people from Kaifu Temple who arrested your wife?"

Chu Tian asked doubtfully.

"In fact, I felt something was wrong with my wife two days ago. She said she wanted to devote herself to Buddhism.

I didn’t care at the time!

Looking back now, it’s clear that my spouse was brainwashed.

Now he's suddenly missing again. My intuition tells me that it's most likely the work of Kaifu Temple!"

The old man blamed himself:

"Oh, it's all my fault. If I had discovered her abnormality earlier, things wouldn't have turned out this way. Oh... it's all my fault..."

The old man staggered away, alone and with a lonely back.

Chu Tian and Keke looked at each other, not knowing what to say to comfort each other.

"Were there any signs like this before your best friend disappeared?"

Chu Tian thought for a moment and asked.

“She didn’t sacrifice herself, but she told me every day how wonderful Kaifu Temple was!

Now that I say that, it does seem like I’ve been brainwashed!”

Coco thought about it and replied.

"It seems that this Kaifu Temple is a cult!"

At this time, Xi Hou on the side spoke.

At this time, Xi Hou had already put the one-meter-long sword into his storage ring.

He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt, which covered his pointed ears and exposed skin.

From a distance, you can only see that this is a strong man who is two meters tall.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Chu Tian nodded and walked towards the temple.

There are more pilgrims in the temple, many of whom hold three yellow incense sticks in their hands and worship the Buddha statue.

Coco searched everywhere, looking for her best friend.

Chu Tian carefully observed every monk who came and went.

He even used his golden eyes to check it out.

But what puzzled Chu Tian was that he still didn't find anything abnormal.

Although these monks have some cultivation, there is no ghost energy in their bodies.

"Is it because the cultivation base of these monks is too low that they don't rely on eating ghosts to improve their strength?"

Chu Tian frowned. That day in the haunted apartment, even though he didn't have a keen eye, he could clearly feel the ghostly aura emanating from the two monks.

But today, when I used my eagle eyes, I couldn't find anything unusual.

This made Chu Tian full of doubts.

Could it be that Kaifu Temple has really turned over a new leaf and no longer relies on devouring evil spirits to increase its strength?

"Wait... that's not right. This monk has C-level strength, but he doesn't have ghost energy? How is that possible?"

Chu Tian frowned as he looked at a middle-aged monk who was guarding the merit box not far away.

He remembered the monk that Coco found that day. He was also a C-level monk, but he exuded a faint ghostly aura.

Now, this monk with C-level strength has no ghost aura.

No way!

Just as he guessed, Kaifu Temple had turned over a new leaf.

"No... No, no, no!"

Chu Tian frowned as he watched the monks walking back and forth in the temple.

Something is extremely wrong.

Even if Kaifu Temple reforms, what about those monks who ate ghosts before?

There should be some ghostly aura about them.

But now, let alone these monks, there is not even a trace of ghostly aura in the entire temple.

When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. There must be something fishy about it.

"It's you. You actually have the guts to come to our Kaifu Temple!"

Just when Chu Tian found a side hall with relatively fewer pilgrims.

Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind.

Chu Tian turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and found that it was the monk Yuan Zhen from that day.

However, what puzzled Chu Tian was that under Chu Tian's fiery eyes, there was not even the slightest ghost aura on Monk Yuan Zhen's body!

"How is this possible!?"

Chu Tian frowned.

It was clear that two days ago, Monk Yuanzhen was still emitting a faint ghostly aura.

But now it suddenly returns to normal?

"Something's wrong! It's so wrong!"

Chu Tian looked solemn. Such a strange situation was completely beyond his expectations.

"Brother, who is he?"

A middle-aged monk next to Monk Yuanzhen asked in a low voice.

"Junior Brother Yuan Jing was killed by him!"

Yuan Zhen stared at Chu Tian and spoke word by word.

"What? This is outrageous. How dare the murderer come to our Kaifu Temple? He really doesn't know how to live or die!"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged monk on the side immediately looked at Chu Tian with anger, and at the same time made a gesture to the young monk next to him.

The other four or five young monks in the side hall immediately understood what was meant, expelled the pilgrims from the hall, and then closed the door of the side hall.

The side hall quickly fell into darkness, with only a few oil lamps emitting faint light.

"Brother Chutian!"

Seeing this, Coco felt panic for no reason and subconsciously stretched out her hand to grab the corner of Chu Tian's clothes!

"It's okay, I'm here. These bald donkeys can't cause any trouble!"

Chu Tian patted Coco's back and comforted her softly.

Immediately, his cold gaze fell on Yuan Zhen.

Today he wants to see what secrets these monks are hiding!

"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you insist on breaking in. Today, I will personally avenge Junior Brother Yuan Jing!"

And Yuan Zhen rushed towards Chu Tian the moment the door of the side hall was closed.

He waved the Buddhist beads in his hand, which were emitting brilliant golden light, and smashed them towards Chu Tian.

After last night's tide of ghost energy, his strength has reached the peak of Class B, half a step away from Class A!

As for Chu Tian, ​​he did not feel the same sense of oppression from the other party as he did from the host.

So he estimated that Chu Tian's strength was at most similar to his, only half a step to A-level.

But now this is his home ground.

There is more than one half-step A-level person at the scene.

His junior brother Yuan Ling beside him is also half-step A-level.

Two Half-Step A-levels, today, he wants Chu Tian to pay the price for what happened that day!!!

"A trifle!"

Facing the attack from Monk Yuan Zhen, Chu Tian sneered, clenched his right fist, and swung it out suddenly.

His body has been strengthened by the Killing White Tiger and the Vajra Indestructible Body.

The arm strength of one hand has long exceeded 10,000 pounds.

Chu Tian has not measured the exact amount.

But I think it should be no problem to deal with a bald donkey.

"Bang!"

A white sharp aura emerged above Chu Tian's fist and collided with the dazzling golden light.

The originally dazzling golden light immediately collapsed.

Monk Yuanzhen was also knocked backwards by the punch and hit hard on a stone pillar in the main hall. He was embedded in the pillar and vomited blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"How is this possible!!! We are both Half-Step A-level, how can you be so strong?"

Monk Yuanzhen looked at Chu Tian in disbelief.

Those cloudy eyes were filled with horror.

"Haha! Nothing is impossible!

You have to know that there is a gap between half-step A-level!

Besides, when did I say I was half-step A-level?"

Chu Tian sneered disdainfully.

When he was at the B-level, he was already invincible in the same realm!

Even powerful underworld masters like Gu Wuxie and Xi Hou are no match for him.

What's more, Chu Tian felt that if his strength was really calculated according to levels, it would be far more than level B!

However, Chu Tian was still not satisfied.

Because he still didn't sense even a trace of ghost energy from Yuan Zhen?

Have they really turned over a new leaf?

This thought just arose in Chu Tian’s mind.

He immediately suppressed it.

Judging from the familiar closing procedure of this group of bald donkeys just now.

He is obviously a veteran and definitely not a good person.

So how could he give up on improving his strength?

Yuan Zhen's face turned pale when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the young man's strength.

"You bald ass, I will never let go of any grudge. Since you have chosen to attack me, you must be prepared to die!"

Chu Tian walked towards Yuan Zhen step by step with a cold face. At the same time, he raised his left hand and a Qinglong magic shot towards Yuan Zhen.

Chu Tian did not use his full strength in this attack.

He didn't intend to kill Yuan Zhen directly.

Instead, he wanted to do as he did that day, first severely injuring Yuan Zhen, and then let the evil ghost in his body take over his body and transform him into a ghost monk.

"Evil creature, please don't hurt my brother!"

At this time, the monk Yuan Ling on the side immediately came to Yuan Zhen's body, pinched his hands to perform magic spells, and his whole body burst into brilliant golden light.

"Bang!"

The blue beam of light collided with the bright golden light.

Even though Chu Tian had held back, the power of the Azure Dragon Technique was not something that an ordinary Half-Step A-Level could withstand.

Even a genius from the underworld like Gu Wuxie didn't dare to take it head-on, let alone someone like Yuan Ling who relied on tricks to improve his cultivation.

With a loud bang, Monk Yuanling was also blown away.

However, his condition is much better than Yuan Zhen's. He just has blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He still has the strength to fight!

"Hurry up and send Master Yuanzhen to the back mountain to find the host!"

Using a red cassock to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Yuan Ling loudly instructed the little monks.

After the brief fight just now, he knew clearly that the strength of the person in front of him was definitely not B-level.

It's totally beyond their ability to deal with.

Only by inviting a host to come out can we have the strength to fight!

Upon hearing this, the young monks did not dare to hesitate. They quickly lifted Yuan Zhen and went to the back door of the side hall.

"Want to run? Have you asked me?"

Chu Tian sneered and shot out another Green Dragon magic towards Monk Yuan Zhen.

"Your opponent is me!"

Upon seeing this, Monk Yuanling hurriedly came to Chu Tian and offered his red cassock to try to resist.

"Bang!"

But the cassock is just a low-grade ritual implement, of inferior quality.

Even with the blessing of Monk Yuanling's Buddhist Dharma, it was still easily penetrated!

The Qinglong magic hit Yuan Ling’s chest again!

"Bang!"

Yuan Ling flew backwards straight out, broke through the red wooden door of the hall, and fell heavily on the marble bricks outside, smashing the bricks into pieces!

"What's going on?"

"What's going on?"

"Why did the master fly out?"

Outside the hall, there were many pilgrims who saw this scene and looked at it curiously.

"puff!"

Yuan Ling began to vomit blood in large mouthfuls, and the dark red blood was mixed with pieces of internal organs.

Chu Tian's Qinglong magic hit his chest, and the huge force shattered his internal organs.

Not only that!

Waves of black yin energy began to rise from Yuan Ling's body, and his face began to turn blue and white, and finally black stripes began to appear.

It was exactly the same as Yuan Jing’s situation that day!

Seeing this, Chu Tian's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Has the truth finally been revealed?"
