Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Search (XIV)
Hu You held the blood-red Seven-Star Sword in his hand, and when he fought Ning Helan again, his movements were obviously much faster than before, and it was obvious that Ning Helan was having some difficulty blocking him.
"The Seven-Star Blood Sword has been sharpened, and Ning Helan is no match for it..." Xu Qingyang murmured.
"That's how it should be, otherwise you can see him like he wants to destroy our Taoist temple." Zhao Fang snorted and folded his hands.
After several rounds, Hu You pushed Ning Helan back step by step to the big hole in the middle of the square. Then Hu You came over quickly and stabbed with a sword. After Ning Helan dodged several times, he was stabbed in the chest by the sword and fell from the edge of the hole.
Fang Hui was so scared that his face turned pale. He didn't care about Ning Helan's words just now, and hurried to the side of the hole: "Ning Helan!"
The hole was dark and deep. Fang Hui shouted a few times, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no response from below.
"Click! Click!" Brother Ji was anxiously turning around.
"Little Taoist priest! Ning Helan!" Fang Hui shouted several times, but the only response he got was the sound of the wind blowing up from the cave, howling, cold and eerie, as if someone was crying, "Ning Helan..."
But before Fang Hui could feel sad, he felt a chill on his back. He turned his head tremblingly, only to see Hu You pointing a sword at him. Hu You narrowed his eyes: "You are not a living person... Who are you?"
Fang Hui opened his mouth. Although he really wanted to tell Hu You who he was, he was afraid that Hu You would be scared after he told him. When he was struggling, Hu You's expression changed, and he asked hesitantly, "Fang Hui?"
Hearing his name coming out of his childhood friend's mouth, Fang Hui felt very complicated. He glanced at Hu You and quickly looked away.
Hu You stretched out his hand and turned his shoulders to face him: "Are you really Fang Hui?"
"...No...Is..." Fang Hui's voice was as thin as a mosquito, and he couldn't even hear it himself, let alone Hu You.
"Fang Hui, aren't you dead? How did you become like this? Your appearance is a container, right? And how come only one of your souls is left?" Facing Hu You's rapid-fire questions, Fang Hui was about to say something, but he heard a strange sound coming from the cave next to him.
He turned his head and saw a white light coming from the cave. Along with the light, there was a rumbling sound coming from below. At first he thought it was the sound of a train.
But it was impossible for a train to pass through the cave below.
The sound was very loud, and other people on the second-floor stand also heard it.
"What's that sound?" Zhao Fang stuck his head out to listen more carefully.
"...Is it the sound of water?" Xu Qingyang was surprised, "It's the sound of flowing water!"
"What?" Zhao Fang didn't know how this sound was related to the flow of water.
Xu Qingyang looked at him and said, "Do you think this sound is very similar to the sound of water flowing in the waterfall?"
When he said this, the people around him also felt that it was indeed very similar to the sound of the splashing waterfall.
"But I remember there is only one underground lake below..." Zhao Fang hadn't finished speaking when the sound from the cave got closer and closer. Suddenly, a column of water gushed out from the cave. The water column was very turbulent, and it shot straight into the sky like an arrow.
A figure could be seen in the water column. With a bang, the water column exploded, and water droplets splashed everywhere. The whole square seemed to be drenched by heavy rain.
Ning Helan fell from midair to the ground, but his body was not wet at all, as if he had just been separated from the water.
"Ning Helan!" Fang Hui ignored Hu You in front of him, and ran over happily when he saw Ning Helan, "Great, you're okay! I was really scared just now, I thought you were dead."
"Don't be grim." Although Ning Helan said this, his expression was relatively gentle when looking at Fang Hui. Then he asked, "Do you have a knife?"
"No, what are you going to do?"
"..." Ning Helan glanced at the palm of his hand. The talisman paper was gone. Now he could only use blood to cast the spell, but he didn't want to bite his fingers with his teeth.
"Ning Helan!" Hu You, who was standing next to him, was soaked by the water just now. His wet hair stuck to his face and he looked a little frightened. The Seven-Star Sword in his hand made a buzzing sound when it saw Ning Helan, which made Hu You's palm numb.
Hu You raised the sword, and the blade of the Seven-Star Sword flashed like a breathing light. He suddenly sneered: "Ning Helan, do you see that? My Seven-Star Sword is thirsty for your blood..."
Ning Helan glanced at the Seven-Star Sword. Now the Seven-Star Sword can no longer be said to be a precious sword that can subdue demons and monsters. The aura it emits is more like a bloodthirsty magic sword.
"Hu You! Stop fighting! It's a misunderstanding!" Fang Hui stood up and shouted, "We are only here to look for Taoist Mingxin. It has nothing to do with the rest of you!"
"Fang Hui, although I don't know why you are here, I am Taoist Mingxin's apprentice. How can I, as his apprentice, ignore you when you come to see my master?" Hu You said, "Also, considering that we are childhood playmates, I advise you to stay away. The Seven Star Sword is very harmful to a soul like yours. If it touches you, your soul will be torn to pieces. I'm afraid that even the gods won't be able to save you."
Fang Hui was surprised that Hu You would say that, and his temper came up. "Hu You, instead of threatening me here, why don't you go ask your master what he did? He tried to destroy the graves of Ning Helan's parents. My mother's grave was also destroyed by him, and he even took away my mother's ashes! Is this something a so-called Taoist master can do?"
Hu You was obviously stunned when he heard Fang Hui say this. He turned his head to look at Taoist Master Mingxin on the second floor, and the disciples around him also secretly looked at this uncle of their sect.
Taoist Master Mingxin had a serious expression. He stared at Fang Hui closely and suddenly laughed: "Fang Hui, what evidence do you have that these things you said were done by the poor?"
"Huh? Ning Helan has presented evidence and you still don't admit it?! And didn't you acquiesce before?!" Fang Hui didn't expect that at this point, Taoist Mingxin still acted as if it had nothing to do with him, "Didn't you say that you were collecting money to help people eliminate disasters?!"
Taoist Xuanyu was surprised when he heard this: "Mingxin, is he telling the truth?"
A sinister look flashed across Taoist Mingxin's eyes, but he was still very respectful to Taoist Xuanyu: "Teacher, I just met a donor before, and I have a connection with him, so I'm busy helping him."
The sect disciples didn't dare to think too much about this reason, but to others, it was just a lie. Helping to dig up the graves of other people's parents, what a huge grudge this is.
"Mingxin." As expected, Xuanyu Zhenren said in a deep voice, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Taoist Mingxin bowed to Xuanyu Zhenren and said, "Zhenren, first of all, I think this is a small matter and I don't need to report it to you. Secondly, it's not as serious as these two guys say."
"What?!" Fang Hui was really furious when he heard what Master Mingxin said. His mother's grave was destroyed like that, but this Taoist priest who looked like a decent person actually said it was a trivial matter.
When he was about to swear, a figure flashed beside him, and Ning Helan rushed up with a fist, and jumped to the second-floor stand. The speed of the movement scared everyone on the second floor.
Xu Qingyang and Zhao Fang hurried to stop him, but they were all knocked down by Ning Helan's punches. Master Mingxin retreated repeatedly to avoid Ning Helan's attack. During the blocking, Master Mingxin's expression became more and more ugly. After the last fight, Master Mingxin looked at his right hand, which was painful and numb.
He looked at Ning Helan's hand, and found that there was a circle of faint blue light wrapped around his fist, just like electric current. He was obviously numbed by the electric shock when he was fighting with him just now.
"Ning Helan, you actually attracted lightning to your body, aren't you afraid of damaging your internal organs?" Mingxin asked him while rubbing his hands.
"It's just electric current. It can't hurt you, and it certainly can't hurt me." Ning Helan said lightly.
Then everyone saw Ning Helan flip over and jump to the pillar next to him, his eyes shining, the air flow around him became more and more urgent, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the sun was completely blocked.
The heavy dark clouds seemed to be pressing down, and the sky became dark and low, and lightning could be seen flashing in the clouds.
"He's going to attract thunder!" Hu You, who was in the square, ran over first. He knew the power of Ning Helan's thunder. If this thunder struck, everyone around would be in trouble.
Hu You swung his sword and chopped it down. Just when the tip of the sword was about to touch Ning Helan, a thunder struck from the sky with a deafening sound.
"Boom!" The thunder almost illuminated half the sky. The lightning struck the stands on the second floor, and the stands quickly caught fire. Everyone could no longer stand there and watch, and they all fled.
The Seven Star Sword in Hu You's hand was also hit by the thunder. "Dang!" The Seven Star Sword flew out while spinning in the air and stuck into the tree trunk next to it.
Ning Helan waved her finger, and another bolt of lightning struck. Hu You hurriedly rolled on the ground to avoid Ning Helan's attack, but the lightning struck again, and Hu You had to run to avoid the lightning's attack.
Fang Hui watched the lightning chasing Hu You, and his feelings were very complicated. He wanted to yell at Ning Helan to stop, but he also felt that Ning Helan was settling accounts for the two of them, and he felt uncomfortable.
Seeing the lightning strike from the sky one after another, Fang Hui suddenly felt numb all over. He looked down and saw that the water from the underground lake had just gushed out and wet everything here. The accumulated water on the ground attracted electricity, and standing on it was like being electrocuted.
"Hiss!" Fang Hui hurriedly left the place, but the ground was wet everywhere, and the electric shock made him feel numb and painful. "Ouch, hiss, ouch..."
Not only Fang Hui, but also the Taoist priests in other Taoist temples were also numb. Except for a few older Taoist priests who were relatively calm, all the Taoist priests were electrocuted and jumped around tremblingly. For a while, everyone was staggering.
Fang Hui thought that this would not work, and he had to go to a place without water. He saw that the eaves around him were dry, so he wanted to run over, but he was electrocuted every step. He saw the chicken jumping up and down with his peripheral vision, and it seemed that nothing happened.
"Hiss, hey, hiss, chicken brother, how come you are fine?" Fang Hui's brain was really numb from the electricity.
"Click." The chicken jumped up and down, and Fang Hui noticed that it had retracted one leg and was now jumping on one foot.
One foot can lead the current directly to the ground, so there will be no electric shock. Fang Hui almost forgot the knowledge he learned in junior high school. He slapped his head, wondering why no one else reacted as quickly as the chicken, so he quickly jumped on one leg like the chicken and went to the eaves next to him. He waited until
he found a dry and safe place to put down his numb legs. When he turned around and looked back, he saw that the wet square had become a battery. The current flashed with blue and white light, and crackled when it came into contact with water. He didn't dare to think if someone fell in now, would he be electrocuted.
