"The old men said that there is more than one mountain of Yunshan, but two, one on the ground and one on the ground."

After hearing Lin Xiangzhi's statement, the atmosphere in the wooden cage suddenly became terrifying.

So, the "cousin" and "sister-in-law" couldn't help but get closer to Ji Que, which made Ji Que hug him from the left and right.

Now, the length of the chain has obviously exceeded her imagination. Ji Que has confirmed that they have encountered something dirty.

But where are the dirty things?

"Be careful of the candle?"

At this time, Ji Que couldn't help but remember what Bai Lu said before.

The wooden cage kept sliding along the cableway and had no intention of stopping.

Ji Que thought, should he do something?

He thought about simply pulling out the cage and going to the iron rope above to see if he could walk back.

But he temporarily dispelled the idea.

This iron chain is obviously strange, and it is unknown whether it can go back. If you encounter trouble, it will be difficult to spread on the iron chain.

Instead of wasting your energy on these things, it is better to wait for your hard work.

She didn't believe that this cable car could never end.

After making the decision, Ji Que returned to peace.

Lin Xiangori and Bai Lu gradually calmed down under his influence.

The three of them practiced together during this period and did feel like they were in the same spirit.

But not long after, Ji Que narrowed his eyes suddenly and felt something in the fog.

But when he looked carefully, he found that there was only a thick white mist.

Just when Ji Que thought he had read it wrong, he suddenly found out from the corner of his eyes that two brown and yellow things appeared in the fog in the lower left.

The thing was like two lanterns with dim light, and disappeared in just a blink of an eye.

But it was this blink of an eye that made Ji Que feel even more uncomfortable.

How could there be lanterns in this place?

"Damn it, this is broad daylight, can't you come out of the living things?"

Just as he was thinking about this, the entire wooden cage suddenly shook, making a creaking sound, and gradually stopped.

Ji Que discovered it, it was over.

The iron chain has come to an end at this time, but will Lin Xiangzhi’s father’s cave beside him?

Ji Que hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the wooden cage, jumped gently to the cliff, Lin Xiangori and Bai Lu followed.

The three of them looked back at the rolling clouds behind them, and they were still scared.

Yes, they always feel that this is no longer the world.

The fog in front of him faded a lot, and the appearance of the eaves and pavilions was blurred.

"Is it here?" Ji Que asked.

Lin Xiangzhi nodded and said, "It seems to be."

The appearance of this building is really similar to that in memory.

This place is located on the hillside of a mountain. Ji Que and his other two walked forward hundreds of steps and found a pool of clear water.

There is a row of winding stones on the pond water, which is considered a road.

After the pond water, it is the entrance to Lin Xiangzhi's father's cave.

It is better to say the gate of a Taoist temple than to say it is the entrance.

These buildings are indeed very similar to Taoist temples.

Ji Que looked at the dark green water in the pond and felt a little depressed.

The color of the pond water is too dark to distinguish the depth. The withered lotus leaves floating on the water reveal the intention of death everywhere, like corpses.

With a pop, a circle of ripples appeared on the water surface, and a white carp showed its head and soon sank into the green water.

This carp is not small, very fat, and is also quite disgusting.

But after all this, this should be the first living thing they saw here?

The mountain gate of the Taoist temple arrived soon.

The door was open, and it seemed that no one had taken care of it for a long time. Many vines hung down like snakes, making them look a little gloomy.

In order to avoid the long nights and many dreams, the three decided to fight quickly and find the maggot dragon grass and flash.

This place is evil.

But as soon as they stepped into the mountain gate, Bai Lu jumped backwards with a look of fear.

Behind the mountain gate, two iron statues were lying.

The iron man looked like a bony bone, and the shape of his bones could be seen at a glance. It would be no exaggeration to say that he had a layer of skin on the outside of the bones.

They are carved vividly, and their thin faces are full of terror.

The terrible emotions seemed to be able to overflow through the iron figure's skin, making people feel cold on their backs.

They lay there on the left and right, and their postures did not look like humans at all, but like four-legged snakes.

Lin Xiangzhi looked at these two bony faces and her heart beat faster.

When she came here secretly, there were no such iron figures.

And the two iron figures were lying there, without moving or reacting.

Behind this mountain gate is a square that looks a bit stingy.

A cauldron stands in the center of the square, covered with dust and looks quite old.

Such a picture proves that Ji Que’s previous observation was correct, and this place is a Taoist temple.

From the tradition of the Lin family, it can be inferred that Lin Xiangzhi's father, Mr. Lin Er, was a Taoist practitioner. This Taoist view seems to be a few years old. He should have discovered it and occupied the magpie's nest.

The square was covered with dead leaves, and feet rustled on it.

At the end of the square, it is the main hall of this temple.

The main hall is not magnificent, and it is even short. The gray tiles and gray brick walls look a bit heavy.

Ji Que and his other two soon discovered that there were more than ten iron statues standing in the hall.

These iron man statues stand in a very short Taoist temple, some lying on their tranquility, some standing on their feet, and some sleeping on their faces, and their expressions are different, some laughing, some crying, some are vicious, and some seem to be looking at you insidiously.

All of these iron figures are skinny and have their hair curled up, as if a person has been sucked into the blood by some monster.

Why do you put so many such ghost statues in this temple?

Ji Que asked Lin Xiangzhi, and Lin Xiangzhi was also confused.

They soon discovered that there were no living people in this Taoist temple.

There are no living people, only these iron men. They are like abandoned here, which looks very terrifying.

Behind the hall is a courtyard, not big, and it will soon end.

If this is Lin Xiangzhi's father's cave, there should be many secret treasures hidden, but now it seems that this place is abandoned.

The maggot dragon grass they are looking for may not be here.

However, Lin Xiangzhi shook her head and said, "According to our Lin family's actions, we will not put good things on the surface."

"You mean there is a secret room?" Ji Quesi asked.

Lin Xiangzhi nodded.

The Lin family has a great career, and the cunning rabbit has three caves. It is reasonable that the second master of the Lin family has a secret room to hide things.

Ning Hongyu is good at finding a secret room, but they can only use stupid methods to find it inch by inch.

There is a well in the backyard.

Half of the iron man was exposed at the wellhead, and it looked like it wanted to climb out of the well.

Bai Lu looked at the iron man statue at the wellhead and couldn't help but say, "Brother Ji, this iron man looks like he is going to come out. Will there be something in the well?"

Ji Que felt something was right, so he walked over and found that the iron man was indeed climbing up, but one leg was missing.

This is the first time that the three of them have seen an incomplete iron portrait since entering the Bishui Temple.

Ji Que thought about it and threw himself into the well.

The environment in the well was very dark. As Ji Que raised his hand, Qianji Sword emitted a soft light, illuminating the surroundings.

He touched it inch by inch, and then he encountered the well water in a while.

The deep water of the well is dark. When you use Qianji Sword to see it, you can see that the water quality is quite clear.

Ji Que started knocking on the well wall around him, because Ning Hongyu used to do this when he started the machine, but the opponent basically hit it with one blow, and he could only try it many times.

As a result, as I was knocking, I heard a clang, and a downward colleague sank somewhere in the well wall.

"Finished." Ji Que said.

So soon, Lin Xiangori, who turned into a cat-shaped body, stepped on Bai Lu's head and followed Bai Lu down.

The three of them walked through this dark passage and found that there were many cracks on the stone wall, and some places even had small collapses.

Ji Que walked in with his body bent and soon found that he had come to a relatively empty space.

This is a elixir room, but an accident should have happened.

The ground was full of fragments of debris and dark marks, and the bronze elixir furnace in the center of the elixir chamber had completely exploded and was trumpet-shaped.

"explode?"

Lin Xiangzhi looked around and found that although it was dim, there were many holes on the walls, like windows in the house.

At this time, some dim sky light scattered from these cave entrances, lighting up the space inside.

The three of them quickly confirmed that there was indeed an explosion here.

Involuntarily, Ji Que remembered the "whisper" Bai Lu heard in the wooden cage before - "They said 'Beware of the fire candle'."

The damage in this alchemy room is serious. There is a large pit at the bottom of the alchemy furnace, with metal fragments and human heads scattered around it?

Yes, there are also iron figures here, but they have turned into human heads and some broken arms and limbs.

Especially the broken leg at the entrance is considered a well-preserved place.

After seeing this scene, a scene naturally emerged in the minds of the three of them.

On a very ordinary day, the people in this temple are practicing and refining alchemy as usual.

It was just that in this secret room, someone accidentally lit a candle, or some reason, that the entire alchemy furnace exploded.

The explosion blew the people next to the stove to pieces, and a disciple who was far away was blown off one of his legs, and then dragged his legs to climb up, wanting to ask for help.

But when he climbed to the well, he became an Iron Man.

After that, the entire Taoist temple, who were dead or alive, turned into iron men.

Skinny Iron Man.

This can also explain why those iron figures are so vivid, after all, they are all made by humans?

This is the most direct guess that the three of them can think of.

The person who refined the alchemy turned into an iron man, which was so weird and terrifying that he thought.

And what if they were Iron Man?

Iron Man is refining elixirs in Taoist temples. Is this even more terrifying?

At this moment, through the glimmer of light from the holes, Lin Xiangzhi found a mezzanine on the wall to the right.

This mezzanine should be similar to the embedded bookshelf, which is specially used to hold books.

But it should be that after this explosion, most of the books on the bookshelf were burned clean, leaving only a bunch of black ashes.

However, when Lin Xiangori swept away the ashes, he soon found that there were several relatively complete books lying deeper.

Only a part of these books was burned down and could barely be read.

Lin Xiangzhi drew out these books and found that most of them were related to alchemy. After reading them a few times, she couldn't quite understand them.

But soon, she was attracted by the contents of anonymous booklet.

Because this is not a book for alchemy, but a diary.

However, this diary was damaged in many places, and a lot of it was torn off in the middle, and only part of it could be read barely.

"On the fifth day of the third month, we practiced and refined elixirs in the way of the second master, and our cultivation became increasingly diligent, but I couldn't be happy. Because I became thinner and thinner, the people in the whole view became thinner and thinner.

We didn't notice this at first, but just felt that it was caused by the hard work of practicing. Until one day, I found that my classmates looked at me like they saw a ghost, and I also felt the same way.

We are too thin to look like humans.”

"On April 12, I couldn't help asking the reason of the Second Master. The Second Master told us that this is part of the practice. Profits and losses will be transformed into each other. As long as we practice hard, we will sooner or later turn back to our previous appearance, which will not hurt our lives.

Hearing this, my senior brothers and sisters relaxed a little.”

"If you remember correctly, today is the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. I found that the temple is becoming more and more strange. We can no longer leave the Taoist temple easily. The gatekeeper said, afraid that we will scare people.

But we are obviously humans, why do we scare people?

But every time I see the shadow in the water, I find that the guard is right. Maybe, we are not human at all?"

"On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wanted to wear a new dress. It was sewn by my mother when I left home. But this dress was so big, I was empty when I wore it. I wanted to see through the new dress, but I found that the bronze mirrors in the view seemed to be gone.

Woooo, we are becoming less and less like humans, and the third senior brother is becoming more and more irritable. I always think he will throw people into the alchemy furnace."

When we arrived here, this should be the diary of a young female Taoist who should have ended abruptly.

Lin Xiangori took this diary and looked around the gloomy Dan Room, feeling a little cold.

She could imagine what happened here in the past few years.

His father brought a lot of people here to refine alchemy and practice. These people seemed to be bought by him outside.

But for some reason, maybe it is the exercises or the elixirs, the people who are watching become more and more affected, until they are skinny.

They can't go out, they can only continue to live, practice, refine elixirs as usual, and until the explosion occurs, they all become iron men?

However, there is no living thing in this Taoist temple now, and it may be unrealistic to know the real process.

Especially the pages that have been torn off this diary may record the key to the secrets in this view.

Was it because the diary owner tore off the pages, or was there someone else?

So, in addition to the martial arts and explosions, will this kind of change occur in the people in this view besides the martial arts and the explosions be related to the strange fog?

Would they become like this?

Lin Xiangzhi thought, looking at these broken arms and limbs.

She told Bai Lu and Ji Que what she found, and the three of them couldn't help but look solemn.

They were originally here to steal things, but there was no living here. Logically speaking, it should be a good thing, but Taoist temple made them feel cold and terrifying.

At this time, through the dim sky light falling from the hole, Bai Lu even had an illusion that the broken iron man's heads on the ground were looking at him with a very strange look.

Bai Lu had no experience in subduing demons, so the more she looked at her, the more she felt that it was.

But when she changed her position, the heads seemed to be no longer looking at her.

After all, this is an illusion brought by the perspective of sight.

At this time, she suddenly looked at a part of the cave wall and asked in confusion: "What is that?"

There are many holes like small windows on the walls of this Dan Room, and two of them are inlaid with a kind of brown and yellow stone, like some kind of rough gem.

Lin Xiangori was in a cat shape and quickly turned up with her light and agile figure to see what was going on.

The brown and yellow thing is spherical. It was not until I walked in that I found that it was covered with fine holes, like honeycombs, which made me feel uncomfortable.

And just then, Lin Xiangzhi suddenly had her hair standing up, and she let out a cat's cry, falling off.

Because just now, the two stones suddenly moved.

Ji Que also noticed something strange, then remembered something, and said, "Eyes, what's the eyes of what kind of thing."

He had seen two yellow lanterns in the wooden cage that looked like a cable car. Now that he thought about it, it was probably this thing.

As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow stone moved again, and it turned into his eyeballs.

Ji Que's scalp was numb and he couldn't help saying, "Let's go! Leave here first!"
Chapter completed!
