Chapter 115: Chase
When Master Shanzheng and Master Jilin arrived, a new layer of processed mountain soil had been piled around the big pit.
Master Ji Lin made a decision quickly. He decided to recruit one person first to see the situation and then decide on the follow-up matters.
He and Master Shanzheng dug deep into a corner of the mountain soil. At 3 p.m., Master Jilin called for a stop. He jumped into the deep pit to check. When he came out, he said with a smile on his face, "Finally, we have reached the bottom."
After throwing down the explosion and purification talismans, Master Shanzheng asked him, "Do you want to dig further down?"
Master Jilin looked at Master Shanzheng's expression and said, "Okay, dig a little deeper."
Shanzheng Zhenren nodded and said, "I have a not-so-good guess."
"Stop." Master Ji Lin immediately stopped him from continuing: "Over the years, I am most afraid of you brothers saying guesses, which never work for good things but always work for bad things."
He motioned for Shanzheng Zhenren to walk to the edge of the pit, and then said to the people in the ritual hall, "Go dig."
Shi Zelan's face was full of excitement. As soon as Master Ji Lin finished speaking, she threw down several talismans in succession.
She dug a deep hole directly in front of her. Shi Xiaoliu piled the mountain soil she dug out aside and simply threw down a burning talisman.
While throwing the talisman, Shi Zelan said to Shi Xiaoliu: "Everyone, dig the soil together. It's making too much noise. I can hardly stand steadily."
"Roar, roar, roar." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a roar coming from the ground.
Shi Xiaoliu quickly reached out and pulled Shi Zelan back. Master Shanzheng came over and threw the two of them onto the flying leaves: "Hurry and run."
The flying leaves flew upwards. Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan saw that the brothers from the Dharma Hall were also on the flying leaves. Below, Master Shanzheng and Master Jilin looked at each other with wry smiles.
"Ji Lin, I'm sorry."
"No one is sorry for anyone else. As long as they can leave, we will have nothing to worry about."
"Who disturbed my sleep?"
A black head popped out of the pit, with messy hair covering its head and face. Master Shanzheng threw an explosive talisman directly over. The thing stretched out a pair of claws to catch the talisman, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into the hole in its lower mouth.
The monster with three eyes, two noses and three mouths revealed its true appearance, and Master Ji Lin and Master Shan Zheng exchanged glances.
Master Shanzheng took out the purification talisman made by Shi Zelan and threw it over. The purification talisman landed on the monster with a "chi". It jumped up and made eye contact with Shi Zelan who was suspended in the air.
When the monster stretched out its claws, Shi Xiaoliu lifted the flying leaf up with force. After the monster missed its claws, it stretched out its claws downwards.
Master Ji Lin and Master Shan Zheng were both on guard against this move. Master Ji Lin took out the Evil-Suppressing Tower, and Master Shan Zheng threw up the purification talisman.
"Roar, roar, roar, another nosy Buddhist."
The disciples of the Dharma Hall and Shi Xiaoliu's siblings were all watching the battle below nervously, and they raised the flying leaves a little higher at the same time.
The monster below turned into a three-headed, eight-armed monster. Master Shanzheng gave half of the talisman made by Shi Zelan to Master Ji Lin. He directly slapped a purification talisman on his sword and rushed forward.
Advance with the sword, draw the sword and retreat.
Master Shanzheng stabbed the monster several times but failed to hit its vital parts.
"Roar, roar, roar" Shi Xiaoliu's face was full of pain. Shi Zelan slapped a soundproofing sheet on him, and only then did he come to his senses.
At this moment, Master Ji Lin flew up with a tap of his feet, and the Evil-Suppressing Tower went straight down, but the monster suddenly shrank and drilled directly into the ground.
Master Shanzheng threw explosive talismans and purification talismans directly onto the ground. He chased after him, and Master Jilin followed behind him.
"Let's go down." Shi Zelan yelled at Shi Xiaoliu. He pulled off the sound insulation and rubbed his ears with both hands.
"Shall we go after Master Uncle?"
Shi Zelan shook his head: "Our cultivation is too low. It would be a burden if we chased after them. Let's go and destroy the monster's nest."
The brothers from the Dharma Hall landed. After Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan came down, the leading brother said to them, "Two of us will go after the person in charge, and leave two of us here to accompany you."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded, and the leading brother took his men away, leaving the other two looking at the much deeper pit with worried faces.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan exchanged glances. Shi Zelan threw down a few talismans, turning up piles of mountain soil.
The two brothers came back to their senses and asked Shi Zelan: "Do you have a lot of talismans?"
Shi Zelan shook her head: "Not much left, I can't give you any more."
"We don't want your talisman. We just want to know if you can blow up the monster's nest."
"I don't know now, but if we do it together, maybe it will work."
As she spoke, she was also throwing talismans around. Shi Xiaoliu became anxious: "Two senior brothers, come and clean up the mountain soil."
It was getting dark, and Master Ji Lin and Master Shan Zheng had not returned, nor had the two brothers from the Dharma Hall.
The four people who stayed behind found some firewood and lit up the surroundings. They had already dug out a clean area.
But now the four of them were tired, so Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan cooked a pot of soup. The four of them had a quick dinner and then sat down to discuss keeping watch.
The two senior brothers meant that one of them would guard the first half of the night while the other would guard the second half, while Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan would quickly meditate to recover.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan took out mats for meditation, and each of them took out a mat and handed it to the brothers. The two brothers took it and immediately felt that it was a good thing, but also felt that the two of them were too unguarded.
They turned around and saw Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan meditating. They exchanged glances, and one of them quickly meditated to rest while the other walked around.
As the sky gradually brightened, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan opened their eyes and walked to the patrolling senior brother: "Senior brother, go and rest for a while."
He went back to meditate in silence, while Shi Zelan tried to convey his message to Master Shanzheng, but naturally failed.
Shi Zelan was extremely worried. After discussing with Shi Xiaoliu, they could only send a message back to the sect.
As the sun rose, the two brothers returned the cushions to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan, and reminded them, "Don't trust others so easily in the future."
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan nodded: "We trust our two brothers. We don't dare to trust others."
After the four of them discussed, they decided that Shi Zelan would dig the pit, and the three of them would clean up the mountain soil. The two brothers asked Shi Zelan with concern: "Do you have enough talismans on you?"
"I made some talismans this morning. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be enough for today."
The four of them were determined to dig out the monster's lair, so they didn't worry about the safety of Master Ji Lin and his three companions.
At noon, Master Decheng rushed over and saw four clay figures. They had already dug to the edge of the monster's lair.
"Stop for a moment." Master Decheng said hurriedly, and Shi Zelan did not drop the talisman in his hand.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan were suddenly happy to see Master Decheng. Shi Zelan's eyes turned red again after she was happy: "Uncle Master, are my Master and Uncle Master Ji Lin okay?"
