Chapter 116 Chapter 116 (Two in One) If you want to take action, just...
Just as Jiang Muning finished his words, a black object suddenly fell from the roof with a "pop" and landed on the ground with a crisp sound.
The rustling sound of the bells stopped in the night wind.
Bai Qingqing turned around without saying a word. She quietly glanced at the shouting outside the door, then fixed her eyes on the people at the door, staring intently, and her brows gradually furrowed.
Several people in the land temple were startled by the sudden sound of something falling from the roof. They looked at Bai Qingqing in confusion, thinking that something had happened in the temple as well.
As I was observing, I saw her retract her gaze outside, turned back, and waved at the incense burner in the dark, as if to make the incense burn faster.
The smell of cheap perfume powder filled the entire space, making people dizzy.
Jiang Muning had never used such inferior sandalwood before. She held her breath and frowned impatiently as she watched "Jingkong" transform into a light blue halo, floating from the system panel to her eyes, and hovering quietly in the air.
She raised her hand to take it.
〖Please note that the specific duration of using 'Clearance' will fluctuate according to the cultivation level of the target. The system will convert the remaining points: [1,647 points] into energy, and seal Bai Qingqing's cultivation level for [19] minutes.
Are you sure you want to use all your points to redeem the item 'Clearance'?
The standard electronic sound of the system came from their minds. Jiang Mu Ning and E01 were stunned. They didn't expect that it would take nearly two thousand points to ban her for nineteen minutes.
They had used this prop on Wushang before.
During the great battle with Wushang, she used 23,000 points to seal all of Wushang's cultivation for an hour and a half. This bought time for Jingshi Xuanmen and Ji's uncle to set up their formation, saving her and Ji Ke's lives, and also saving China's dragon veins.
But Bai Qingqing could only be restrained for nineteen minutes? !
"Confirm the exchange." Jiang Muning's heart was beating fast, and he grabbed the light blue light ball in his palm without hesitation.
She has been waiting for more than a day. Now is the best time and she can't wait any longer.
The evil god and Bai Qingqing were testing each other. Seeing that Bai Qingqing had lost her cultivation, the evil god would surely take action. The humans outside could not kill her, and the evil god would not allow the threat of Bai Qingqing to leave Baotong County.
She just didn't believe that Bai Qingqing could walk out of here safely without this inexplicable cultivation.
She has made this bet!
〖Converting energy for you, points conversion in progress... The 'Clearance' you used has taken effect, remaining time: 18 minutes and 59 seconds.〗
Two huge shadows fell from the dim beams, gently floated to the ground, and covered the bell on the ground, and several people were startled again.
Chen Ruihao took two steps back and patted his chest. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was the red flags hanging on the left and right sides of the statue. He guessed that the land temple had been in disrepair for a long time and the fabrics had aged, which was why things kept falling from the roof.
When Zan Fang saw the red flag fall to the ground, his brows furrowed and he looked towards the incense burner. The vertical smoke in the incense burner dissipated in an instant, and even the unburned incense was extinguished.
Bai Qingqing had her back to them and turned her face to the side. His sight was unclear in the darkness, but Zan Fang felt that she was looking at him, as if she had something to say.
After a few breaths, the people lying on the ground at the door woke up one after another. Their sober companions were overjoyed, and seeing that they were all fine, they hurried to help them one by one.
I was originally hesitant about whether to rush into the temple with them, but the dozen or so people who woke up acted as if nothing had happened. They raised their hands in anger and shouted at the people in the temple: "We are fine, rush in and kill them!"
"I'm fine too, don't stop me!"
"I won't even be beaten to death..."
"Shut up! If you disrespect our Buddha, you must make them pay the price!"
"Hey."
"Kill them!"
Zan Fang took a brief look outside, then retracted his gaze and looked at Bai Qingqing again. Just as he was about to go over, he saw that she had already leaned against the wall, her figure disappearing into the deeper darkness. She held his shoulder and whispered, "I have a problem. Hold on for a while. Give me the cinnabar."
Zan Fang: “You,
The hand on his shoulder that was holding him down loosened and poked his backpack: "Don't ask, deal with the present first."
Bai Qingqing sounded relaxed, as if it was just a minor problem that was insignificant.
Zan Fang took off the bag from his shoulder and handed it to her. Bai Qingqing lowered her head when she took it and whispered a few words in his ear. Then she squatted down and rummaged through the bag to find the cinnabar.
A large group of people came to the door noisily, and the people in the front row pointed inside the door and said, "Hand over the woman who threw the Buddha statue!"
The person behind him held down the speaker's arm, snatched the iron rod from the person in front, broke through the crowd and smashed it on Chen Ruihao's head at the door: "Stop talking nonsense, they are in the same group, and they must atone for their sins together!"
The iron stick was swung towards him, and Chen Ruihao quickly blocked it with a wooden stick raised in front of his face. With a "bang", he was hit by the huge force and took two steps back. The rotten wooden sticks in his hands were broken into two pieces.
Pu Yueling supported his shoulders from behind and prevented him from falling.
Neither of them expected that this group of people would start fighting as soon as they said they would, and would do so ruthlessly.
The one who did it was a short, sturdy man, about 1.7 meters tall, with a ruthless face. He started hitting the man on the head with an iron rod, obviously intending to kill him. Even the people who were traveling with them were shocked by his move and tried to hold him back.
"You are beating him to death!" Pu Yueling jumped out from behind Chen Ruihao holding a wooden stick and took the opportunity to shout loudly when the man was pulled back.
"We came to your county to record a program. People all over the country saw it. If we get beaten to death here, you will all have to pay with your lives! Everyone with you will have to go to jail! Pay money! Your children for three generations won't be able to take the civil service exam! Your family will be ruined!"
"See this? It's a camera, transmitting it to our director in real time. Everything you look like has been captured. I advise you to stop, and we'll go to the police station to discuss compensation."
Pu Yueling pointed at the GoPro on her chest and shouted. Chen Ruihao nodded repeatedly to show that she was right. He turned his head frequently and glanced at Bai Qingqing out of the corner of his eye, feeling that it was a bit strange.
Sister Qing is always very strong and rushes to the front in every episode. She can knock everyone down with just a few hits. Why is there no movement today?
Is there a plan or something went wrong?
Chen Ruihao held the two broken sticks in his hands and nervously moved towards the middle of the temple gate, blocking the gazes of the people opposite from looking into the temple.
Outside the temple, the people in the front row looked relatively rational. After hearing what Pu Yueling said, they looked hesitant and loosened the instruments in their hands. Zan Fang took the opportunity to walk to the door, stood in front of the crowd, and looked at the people outside the temple with a stern face.
He placed his right hand on the cloth bag at his waist, glanced at everything outside, and pursed his thin lips even tighter.
Bai Qingqing was right. Most of these people were indeed living dead with incomplete souls. Their three souls and six spirits were all missing to varying degrees...
He would show no mercy to those who were evil and sneaky, but as long as they still had a spirit or half a soul left in their bodies, they were still alive...
When it comes to dealing with a living person... he can't bear to be ruthless.
Zan Fang hesitated and put his hand down from his waist, and took half of the broken wooden stick from Chen Ruihao.
The leader outside the temple was originally moved by Pu Yueling's words. He had been impulsive before and got carried away when he saw these stars breaking into the forbidden area and throwing their Buddha statues. But now thinking about the consequences, he calmed down a little and thought of just sending them to the police station.
But the young star among them had a cold face and an intimidating aura. He also took a wooden stick from his companion and immediately became alert again.
Holding the iron rod horizontally in front of him, he took another step into the temple: "You talk nicely, but you were so good at running before, why are you willing to go to the police station with us now?"
The leader was still speaking in a gentle voice, but the people behind him were getting excited and couldn't hold back any longer. They shouted, "Stop talking nonsense!" and rushed to the front, avoiding Zan Fang, and reached out to grab Pu Yueling's chest, trying to take the camera off her.
Pu Yueling protected her chest and screamed, backing away. Chen Ruihao raised the broken stick in his hand and hit the man's arm. Without saying a word, both sides started fighting with red faces and thick necks.
The small land temple was immediately filled with people who rushed in and surrounded them. Those who had weapons used them, while those who were unarmed punched and kicked.
Bao Zishi, Zan Fang and Chen Ruihao protected the two girls in the middle, holding wooden sticks in their hands to block the attacks, and they fought back ruthlessly against the rioting group of people.
Bao Zishi was originally a boxer, Zan Fang was skilled in martial arts, and even Jiang Muning had learned some self-defense techniques. With Pu Yueling by their side, they did not suffer any loss for a while.
At night, thin clouds were rolling, the sun and moon were dim, and the small temple was so dark that only the outlines of people could be seen. Amid the noisy shouting and fighting, Jiang Mu Ning could be heard asking Pu Yue Ling in a panic, "Where's Qingqing? Why can't I see her? She hasn't been captured, has she?"
Pu Yueling panicked when she heard this, as she indeed hadn't seen Bai Qingqing.
She shook her head and said she didn't know. She looked around, but there were so many figures that it was hard to tell who was who. She leaned close to Jiang Mu Ning's ear and said, "It's okay. Qingqing is so powerful, she must not have been captured."
Jiang Mu Ning stamped his feet anxiously: "There are so many of them! No matter how powerful a person is, he can't defeat so many hands!"
She then turned around and asked the other three people if they had seen Bai Qingqing.
She made quite a noise when she was looking for someone, and the people in Baotong County soon realized that one of them was missing. They immediately shouted, "Where is the woman who threw the Buddha statue? Why is there one person missing?"
"There's really one missing. He's gone!"
"He must have run away!"
"Is he hiding in some corner?"
Pu Yueling and Chen Ruihao thought it would be better if they couldn't find Bai Qingqing in the temple. The people in Baotong County had the most dissatisfaction with Qingqing, and most of the commotion was coming for her. Maybe if they couldn't find her, they would disperse, or look for her somewhere else.
Now after Jiang Muning shouted like that, everyone realized that Qingqing was missing.
The two looked at each other in the dark, feeling a little irritated and angry. They looked around in the dark and saw a familiar figure running from the corner of the house among the crowd of people. He had a backpack on him and seemed to be holding something in his hands. The two pulled at the corner of his clothes in private, without saying anything.
Bai Qingqing seemed to notice their gazes. She suddenly raised her head, put her index finger between her lips, and quickly ran to the southeast corner of the land temple, squatted down, and scraped the dust on the temple wall into the incense burner.
The incense burner was half full of incense ash, and cinnabar and rootless water had been placed in it. At this time, the wall ash from the four corners of the land temple had gathered together. She threw away the palm-sized iron piece in her hand, put her fingers in and stirred the incense burner. At the same time, she took out the spirit-gathering talisman drawn by Zan Fang and shouted to the temple: "Zan Fang!"
"She really ran away! She's outside!"
When they met face to face before, Bai Qingqing was very blunt in her words, and many people remembered her voice.
At this time, they heard a tender female voice outside. Even if they couldn't recognize it, they knew that the person they were looking for was outside.
Jiang Muning and others looked at Zan Fang in confusion.
When Zan Fang heard Bai Qingqing's shout, he immediately formed seals with his hands and quickly chanted the formula: "Yangming's essence, divine power hidden in the heart, restrain the evil spirits, hide in human form, the three lights converge, the spiritual platform is clear! Go!"
"Oops, I forgot about Zan Fang. Even though we have banned Bai Qingqing's cultivation, Zan Fang can still use magic! He gave Bai Qingqing all the magic tools he brought with him, and also gave her a lot of talismans!"
Zan Fang suddenly made a series of movements. People in Baotong County couldn't understand what he was doing. Some older people thought he was performing a ritual, but when they saw that nothing happened after he finished reading, they all started to wonder.
Jiang Mu Ning bet all his points on it. He was worried at this moment. He was trying to comfort E01 and himself, "It's okay. He couldn't beat the Evil God and Wu Shang before. He died in their hands within a short time. He can't help Bai Qingqing at all."
The young man near the temple gate was holding a broom and looking for someone outside following the sound.
Behind the temple wall at the corner, the yellow talisman in Bai Qingqing's hand lit up. It ignited without fire in her hand and burned clean in an instant. The ashes with sparks floated to the back of her hand, leaving a red mark in the blink of an eye.
Bai Qingqing frowned, but didn't shake off the ashes on the back of his hand. His right index and middle fingers were stained with reddish-brown cinnabar mud. He held the incense burner in one hand and walked towards the person who came to see him. He smiled impatiently:
"Aren't you looking for me? Why are you hiding in the temple and not daring to come out?"
"You are very brave, aren't you?" She also made the young man laugh. He chased her all the way from Shenyu's former residence to the land temple, and even watched her live broadcast on the way.
Although there was no picture, the microphone clearly conveyed what she said to the Taoist priest in Shen Yu's former residence.
Not only was he talking nonsense, he was also being rude to their Buddha from beginning to end, just like he is now, without any politeness at all.
The young man was so angry that he picked up a broom and smashed it on the incense burner in her hand.
Bai Qingqing moved aside with the incense burner in hand. The young man realized that he had hit nothing. Before he could raise his hand again, he was hit on the neck by a knife. As he fell to the ground, he slowly realized that she was close to him.
At the temple gate, one of the two men fell down as soon as they met. The people in the temple had long been unable to stand and were walking out. At this time, they all rushed forward, reaching out their hands or sticks towards Bai Qingqing.
The small temple suddenly became empty.
Zan Fang and his men who were surrounded followed him out of the temple gate.
Bai Qingqing crouched down and got out of the encirclement that had not yet formed. She stuffed the incense burner into Zan Fang's hand and swung her free hand in the air to relieve the soreness in her wrist.
When he waved his hands, he stood closely behind the short middle-aged man who had attacked first, pressed his slender hand on his neck, and quickly wiped his eyelids and eyebrows with his right hand dipped in cinnabar, leaving three red marks.
Loose hands.
The middle-aged man, who was slightly taller than her, lay down on the grass silently without making a sound of struggle.
The crowd surrounding them fell silent, looking at the fallen middle-aged man with horror, fearing that he was dead and not daring to step forward to confirm.
Bai Qingqing ignored their pause and looked across the crowd at Zan Fang: "Do you know how to do it? You can do the taller ones, and I'll do the shorter ones."
Zan Fang: “…”
He handed the incense burner in his hand to Chen Ruihao who was standing beside him.
Chen Ruihao subconsciously took it with both hands, but his hands felt heavy because of the incense burner. He looked up at Zan Fang in confusion.
Zan Fang said softly: "Borrow your hand, and follow me closely."
He dipped both of his right hands in cinnabar mud and quickly searched among the crowd until he found a tall man who came to his side. He imitated Bai Qingqing's method, poured his vital energy into his fingertips to wrap around the cinnabar, pinched the man's chin to fix his head, and smeared the cinnabar between his eyelids and eyebrows.
As expected, the tall man instantly lost consciousness and fell into his arms.
Zan Fang protected the man's head from behind, bent over and laid him on the ground, while answering Bai Qingqing, "Okay, I'll do the taller one."
Chen Ruihao: "..."
Seeing Zan Fang's eyes searching the crowd again, Chen Rui realized his role and silently followed his pace holding the incense burner.
"Murder..."
"They both know witchcraft!"
"No, no more fighting... Let's hand them both over to the police..."
Among the more than 40 people who came from Baotong County, many were dumbfounded. They threw the things in their hands to the ground and stepped back to show that they would not do it anymore.
The remaining people became even more furious when they saw that they were cowardly. They saw that Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang had knocked down two of them in an instant, and they did not wait a moment longer and immediately rushed towards them, shouting "Ah, Ah!"
Bao Zishi and Pu Yueling wanted to help, but the group of people who rushed over shouting didn't even look at them. They completely excluded the three of them and only chased after Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang.
Chen Rui was very afraid of the sticks, but he didn't dare to stay too far away from Zan Fang and Bai Qingqing. He was beaten while holding the incense burner and screamed. After a few hits from the sticks, he ran away.
When Zan Fang's fingers had run out of cinnabar, he quickly rushed to his side, took the incense burner from his hand, and applied new cinnabar to his fingers. He walked back to Bai Qingqing in a few steps, handed the incense burner to her, and stared at a tall man in the crowd with cinnabar on his forehead.
"I should be right. That person is also..."
Bai Qingqing's right hand was half covered with cinnabar, and without even looking, he slapped the person on his right in the face. He then retracted his hand and chopped the neck of the woman next to him, knocking her unconscious. Before the woman fell, he took the rolling pin from her hand.
Listen to Zan Fang talking, take time to follow his eyes.
Sure enough, a man who was so tall that he stood out from the crowd was seen wearing cinnabar and shouting at Chen Ruihao to kill him.
She swung the rolling pin above her head to block the iron rod that was hitting her head, and kicked the man who hit her head in the stomach, kicking the man so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
"My incense burner contains the Four Corners Earth Guardian from the Land God Temple in Baotong County. If it doesn't work on the tall guy, you can just knock him out."
Zan Fang shook his head quickly: "No, their souls are not complete to begin with. If we knock them out, we may not be able to keep the remaining souls. If the remaining souls are scattered when they lose consciousness, there will be no hope for them!"
"Can you save them now?"
The people in front of me were all blood-red when they started fighting. Not only were they merciless, they all beat people to death.
They were really driven by bloodlust and had to subdue them here today. The normal people, after being hit by Bai Qingqing's sticks, were in so much pain that they had no strength to fight back and just lay on the ground hugging their bodies and screaming.
The people standing here are basically all living dead with incomplete souls.
I don’t feel pain, nor do I feel fear.
The lost souls were taken away by the evil Buddha, and it is unknown whether they have been refined or not, let alone being able to be saved.
Even if he could rescue them, with so many people... he couldn't save them all by himself, unless he brought them all back to the sect to see if his master and uncles had any solutions.
But he was well-versed in classics and already knew what was recorded in the books.
People whose souls have been refined cannot be saved at all.
As Zan Fang was pondering, his heart sank. He didn't even know how to move his hands before he was hit hard on the shoulder by several sticks.
Bai Qingqing frowned, raised the iron spatula in her hand and spun it in her palm, showing no mercy, waiting for them to stand up again and join the melee.
When he raised his hand, he applied force to his wrist and used the sharp side of his hand to hit the major joints of the shoulders, arms, and legs of the people behind him one after another, taking care of four people in the blink of an eye.
"You..." Zan Fang came back to his senses and turned to look at the crowd behind him: "They are ordinary people!"
"I'm just an ordinary person. It hurts when I get beaten, okay?" Bai Qingqing glared at him.
Zan Fang was speechless.
Looking at Bai Qingqing's slender body, arms and legs, he pursed his lips and remained silent.
It's hard to use two fists to defeat the four. She has been hit many times when dealing with the living dead. These people hit her hard, and she would probably be covered with bruises if hit once.
Seeing that he had stopped talking, Bai Qingqing glared at him and added, "It is because our kind-hearted Taoist Master Zan showed mercy that these people kept picking up their strength to beat me up again and again!"
Zan Fang hesitated and raised his palm, knocking the person in front of him unconscious with a knife.
He turned around and whispered to Bai Qingqing: "What's wrong with you? Your vitality..."
This time, the person who pursed her lips and said nothing was Bai Qingqing.
With a frown on his face, he quickly knocked the man in front of him to the ground and pressed his knee on his throat. After the man on the ground waved his hands and begged for mercy, he stood up, let go, and kicked him in the kneecap.
When she was summoning the land god in the temple, she suddenly felt the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth change, as if some invisible barrier had imprisoned this world, and even the old land god was forced back.
She wanted to use her spiritual power to break the barrier, but in just three breaths of time, that invisible sense of oppression descended upon her, instantly crushing all the spiritual energy in her body and draining it out of her body.
It was done in an instant, and she became an ordinary person with no spiritual power, without even the time to fight back.
If Zan Fang hadn't just happened to draw a spirit gathering talisman in her bag, she wouldn't even be able to perform the little trick she was doing now.
"It might be the work of the evil Buddha. Anyway, all my cultivation has been lost..." Bai Qingqing laughed in anger, and with her right hand covered with cinnabar, she left a clear palm print with five fingers on the face of the woman opposite.
The woman's grip loosened, the brick fell to the ground, and her body fell straight back.
Zan Fang rushed forward and grabbed her by the front of her collar, then put her steadily on the ground. His brows were tightly knitted together, and his expression was solemn: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Practice again." Bai Qingqing raised her left hand, which was pinching the seals, towards him. It was the first time she showed a good expression tonight. She smiled slightly and said, "I've made some progress."
Zan Fang was stunned. He didn't expect Bai Qingqing to have such a good attitude.
If he had lost all these years of cultivation...
Zan Fang didn't dare to think in this direction, and only focused his mind back on Bai Qingqing. He was shocked to find that from the time she realized something was wrong and lost all her cultivation, to now when she started practicing again, she didn't show any abnormality at all.
In a short period of time, the cinnabar was made...
A group of people had fallen before my eyes, and looking around, I could see that more than half of them had red marks on their faces.
Bai Qingqing took a breath while no one was approaching, and wrapped a few more spirit gathering talismans around her right hand as if they were free, saying, "Don't be so serious. Maybe once I kill that Buri Tathagata, the barrier will be broken, and my cultivation will be back to normal."
She waved her claws wrapped with yellow talismans at Zan Fang.
Zan Fang chanted the incantation, formed seals with his hands, and used the yellow talismans wrapped around her hands.
A man with a heavy expression looked at the two groups of people running towards him in the distance in the dark. He thought of the people from Baotong County who were chasing them all over the street. He stood up to calm his accelerated heartbeat, breathing in and out.
If half of the people in front of them are zombies, then wouldn’t the number of zombies chasing them at night be hundreds?
Now, just these people have consumed most of the cinnabar they used and sprinkled.
Zan Fang held the edge of the incense burner and took a look inside.
Only the bottom layer of cinnabar mud is left.
Except for two people.
Pu Chen, Jiang Muning, Bao Zishi and the other two gathered together. Their strength had been exhausted and they were all sweating. When they stopped and were blown by the evening breeze, they all shivered.
I don’t know if it was because of the evening breeze or because I was scared by the large group of people approaching in the distance.
Chen Ruihao couldn't even lift his two arms. He shook his head at the other three people and said, "I can't do it anymore. I don't have any strength left."
Bao Zishi shook his head gloomily: "There are too many people."
He has been boxing for more than 20 years, but no matter how strong he is, he can't fight so many people. His arms and hands were red and purple and he suffered a lot of injuries.
Pu Yueling had no intention of resisting any longer. She just ran around and tried to avoid being beaten. She had already used up all her energy. "It should still be in time to run now. Is it still useful to go to the police station in this situation? I'll call the police..."
"Qingqing, Sister Qing and Taoist Zan can't keep fighting like this..."
The four of them looked at the two people who were talking about ten meters away.
It just so happened that the two men were looking at them, and their eyes met.
Jiang Muning slowed his breathing, clenched his fists at his sides, and confirmed with E01: "101, is 'Clearance' really taking effect? Why can Bai Qingqing still use spells? There are less than eight minutes left."
E01 had already been feeling bad for the 1,600 points he had managed to save, and now he sounded extremely aggrieved:
〖She used Zan Fang's Soul Gathering Talisman, and combined it with cinnabar and incense ash, which was indeed effective in dealing with those living dead...〗
Jiang Muning closed his eyes, loosened his briefly clenched fists, and his arms trembled slightly due to exhaustion.
She had just used too much energy and now her physical strength had reached its limit.
Bai Qingqing had injured so many of the evil god's people, and he was now accumulating strength. It was impossible for him to use his own believers to fill the gap and fight against Bai Qingqing endlessly.
He won't.
If she was an evil god, she would not let this matter get out of hand and let the country take notice of the abnormality here to deal with Baotong County.
He should show up...
Jiang Muning suppressed his heartbeat, calmed himself, and opened his eyes again.
In the distance, Bai Qingqing and Zan Fang suddenly looked up at the sky at the same time.
The accumulation of clouds blocked the last ray of moonlight. Both of them looked solemn and quickly looked around. Then they saw Bai Qingqing pointing at the ground and saying something. Zan Fang bent down and dragged the person on the ground into the land temple.
Chen Ruihao: "What are they doing?"
