Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 357 Five Incense Sticks!
Not long after Hu Lai decided to take Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong with him, the entrance of the temple gradually became quiet.

Because at some point, the entrance of Nantop Temple, which was once crowded with people, now only had people leaving but no one entering.

The outside has been blocked off.

Just a few minutes later, five more people arrived.

Among these five people, Zhang Junmo discovered that he had seen three of them before.

Those were the three Jindan realm beings who arrived when he had severely injured Old Xu.

They just casually glanced at the battle scene and roughly analyzed the previous battle process, as if they were there.

However, because Zhang Junmo transformed himself into an assassin and hid himself, he was not discovered by them.

At this time, Zhang Junmo recognized the three of them and did not show any abnormality.

But the latter three did not recognize Zhang Junmo.

Among the seven people, five including Hu Lai are at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, while the other two are at the Nascent Soul Realm. Zhang Junmo could not sense their specific realm and could only make a rough judgment based on the size of the green dot on the minimap.

While waiting, Zhang Junmo learned through conversation that Longting had already been investigating the secrets behind the supernatural events.

Moreover, the direction of the investigation was surprisingly similar to what he had discussed with Gao Shengzhong before.

All of them are screened through accidental deaths.

Of course, Longting’s investigation method is extremely complicated, with various departments working together to investigate, and it just happened that there were some gains along this line.

So they sent Hu Lai and others to investigate.

Now, after collecting evidence and clues from multiple sources, it has been basically confirmed that this Nanputuo Temple is the source of the supernatural events that have occurred in Xiamen in recent days!

So, even though Zhang Junmo repeatedly overestimated Long Ting's abilities, he still underestimated him in the end.

As the guardian force of the entire country, its energy and capabilities are immeasurable.

Although the others were a little surprised at first about Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong joining, they did not show any resistance afterwards.

Even towards the arrival of the two, everyone had a certain goodwill.

To be honest, Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong won the first and second place in the national competition, which brought them honor. There was no one in the entire Xiamen Longting Base who did not feel proud of it.

As for strength, judging from their performance in major competitions, they are definitely not a drag.

Moreover, Zhang Junmo had performed extremely well in supernatural events, and Gao Shengzhong had helped the strong men in their team to break the maze set up by the underworld.

Even among the people in the Nascent Soul stage who were rescued that time, there were the two present.

"Jun Mo, Sheng Zhong, we also know your abilities, but this incident is of great importance. The enemies we are facing are not ordinary ones. Try to stay in the middle of the team, don't rush ahead, and don't fall behind!"

As a senior and old acquaintance, Hu Lai naturally had to give more instructions before leaving.

"Understood! Don't worry, Senior Hu!"

Zhang Junmo replied with a smile.

Hu Lai nodded.

Then he remembered something and smiled, "Call me Brother Hu from now on! I'm not even forty, and your current strength is probably not much worse than mine. It always feels weird to call me Senior Hu."

"it is good!"

Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong nodded.

But when they set off, Gao Shengzhong counted on his fingers and muttered, "We are only 18, so it seems more reasonable to call him Uncle Hu, right?"

When these words were spoken, even if the voice was very subtle, who were the people present?

Everyone almost couldn't hold back their laughter and looked at Hu Lai.

Hu Lai's mouth twitched, and he wished he could beat Gao Shengzhong up.

But when he thought about the strength of this guy, he didn't know if he would win if they really fought! So he reluctantly gave up the idea.

Damn it, I’m so angry!

If it were any other kid, I would definitely teach him a lesson.

Nanduopu Temple has two gates, east and west.

After some analysis, everyone decided to split into two groups.

Although concentrating forces might minimize the danger, it might also cause the things inside to scatter and escape.

Splitting the troops into two groups can minimize the possibility of evil spirits and the people behind them escaping.

All those involved in this operation are strong people. For this kind of special event, the number of people does not actually mean much.

Just like in previous supernatural events, many evil spirits can affect and even threaten many people at the same time!

Therefore, instead of gathering a large number of people, it is better to take the elite route and crush with strength!

With two Nascent Souls and five peak Golden Core Realm warriors, plus Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong, two geniuses who can create miracles, it is estimated that these ghost things will find it difficult to make any waves.

Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong did not separate, but went in from the west gate where they were at the beginning with Hu Lai, one of the Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses, and the middle-aged man who had been traveling with Hu Lai before.

The Nascent Soul expert was named Chu Yan, and the other Golden Core man was named Du Wenhe.

The other four people went through the east gate.

Zhang Junmo and Gao Shengzhong were in the middle, while Hu Lai and Du Wenhe were in the back.

Chu Yan was at the front, with a powerful aura surging around him, walking towards the closed temple gate.

With every step I took, the temperature of my body seemed to drop by ten degrees.

For no apparent reason, the wind started to blow everywhere.

A few trees not far away were rustling and leaves were flying.

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, making it even darker.

It was as if the dark clouds that had originally gathered in the sky were slowly sinking and pressing down on the ground.

The atmosphere became somewhat stagnant, and Zhang Junmo found that even breathing seemed a little difficult.

"The things inside should have noticed something!"

Zhang Junmo said in his heart.

When everyone followed Chu Yan up the steps and stood in front of the temple gate, they suddenly felt that some changes seemed to have taken place around them.

Zhang Junmo had experience in facing evil spirits many times, and he immediately said, "I'm afraid we have entered the ghost realm!"

Chu Yan glanced at Zhang Junmo and then nodded.

Sure enough, this little guy performed quite well when faced with supernatural events.

Everything in front of him was still the same as before. After only a moment of trance, Zhang Junmo realized that he and others had entered the ghost realm.

However, Chu Yan was not afraid of the ghost realm and simply pushed open the temple door!
call!
As soon as the temple door opened, a gust of cold wind blew in my face.

It was as if the two previously isolated worlds above ground and underground were suddenly connected, forming a strong airflow.

The wind was howling violently, mixed with strange sounds like howling and screaming.

However, this sound could not scare anyone present.

Strong physical strength can also enhance one's spiritual will.

In addition, everyone has survived countless battles and naturally would not be scared by such a small scene.

The only one who felt a little nervous was Gao Shengzhong.

Don't blame him.

After all, when he first faced the ghost, his chrysanthemum sword had no effect on the opponent.

Later, when he faced the ghost baby, he was almost killed by it.

The invincible backstab technique always fails to work when facing evil spirits, and anyone would feel panicked.

Moreover, Zhang Junmo couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw Gao Shengzhong's appearance.

I don’t know if this guy is pretending!

He had clearly told himself before that he had broken through the fear in his heart by questioning himself.

In that case, his fear should hardly have any effect on himself anymore.

But none of this matters.

Just like the supernatural events he had experienced before, Zhang Junmo's consciousness was greatly suppressed.

He is now level 31, which is a completely different realm than when he first handled supernatural events. His spiritual awareness has also undergone a significant transformation.

But even so, his consciousness was still greatly suppressed, and the range he could detect was still no more than 10 meters. As for the small map, it was much better than before.

This time, within the detection range of the small map, most of the entire Nantop Temple was covered.

"It seems that the system's capabilities will not only improve when I first turn. As my level increases, it seems to evolve to a certain extent."

The strength of these people is extremely powerful. The surging energy and blood power alone is enough to make ordinary evil spirits retreat.

At this time, a golden elixir was circulating in Zhang Junmo's body. Wisps of mysterious power flowed out from the golden elixir, flowing through his body, carrying the blood and qi in his limbs and bones like a rushing Yangtze River!

Yes, Zhang Junmo condensed the golden elixir when he broke through level 31.

However, under professional status, the state of the golden elixir will also change accordingly.

When Zhang Junmo is in his professional state, his power seems to be independent of the system of this world. It is neither true essence nor supernatural element.

Rather than calling it a golden elixir, the pill condensed in Zhang Junmo's body actually seemed to be painted with countless kinds of pigments, so colorful and gorgeous that it would be better to call it a colored pill.

Ok……

Colored dan, Easter eggs.

What the hell?

Zhang Junmo felt that his golden elixir had gone astray.

But this is not important.

After entering through the east gate, not far away, you will see a small house.

It says on it, the place for giving incense.

The group of people walked straight inside without stopping.

But all their eyes were directed towards the small house.

The incense donation area is a place set up by the temple where incense is donated for free. The window inside is open and a large number of Buddhist incense sticks would originally be placed there.

But at this moment, there were only five incense sticks left at the place where the incense was given!
Normally, there must be something wrong with these five incense sticks.

Because the number of people is exactly the same as Zhang Junmo's group. It is very likely a trap.

Zhang Junmo felt that these incenses might have some effect.

He wanted to get it, but he couldn't think of a suitable reason.

After all, to others, I am just gaining experience.

But Chu Yan walked over.

Without much hesitation, he picked up the five incense sticks.

With his strength, he does have the capital to be confident.

He glanced at the others and said, "Put these incense on me first. I feel like they might be useful later."

Chu Yan’s judgment was the same as Zhang Junmo’s, which made Zhang Junmo feel relieved.

Evil ghosts usually target people who meet certain conditions when they attack.

Because of the constraints of the conditions, the damage caused when attacking will be more weird and illogical than revealing the true form.

This incense might be the condition for a certain evil ghost to take action.

The reason why the incense was taken away was because by holding it in his hand, he could at least judge whether there would be an attack by whether the incense was lit.

Of course, this incense may not necessarily be a condition for an attack by some evil spirit.

There may be other effects as well.

Just like the rumors I heard before.

Pilgrims will really be blessed after praying to the Bodhisattva.

In this way, this incense may also be a prop that can help the person who lights it avoid being attacked by evil spirits.

Of course, the price of avoiding being attacked is that evil spirits will attach themselves to your body.

It's too early to think about this now.

As they walked forward, they saw a pavilion not far to the front right.

That is a rest pavilion.

There were actually several figures sitting in the pavilion at this time.

At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything special about these people.

However, they sat on the bench, turned their heads and looked at the lotus pond next to them.

"Why is there someone here?"

The gate is blocked, so there shouldn't be anyone inside.

These people looked like ordinary pilgrims, not monks or staff members.

Zhang Junmo frowned slightly.

He tried to use his spiritual sense to sense and found that these people seemed to be ordinary living people.

However, the small map clearly showed that there was no one there!
Moreover, it was very strange that these people did not move at all.

So far, apart from the two evil spirits that possessed the pilgrims at the beginning, the lowering temperature and the dark clouds in the sky, it seems that there is nothing particularly scary about this temple.

Chu Yan also found something wrong.

He walked forward and looked at the people in the pavilion.

Even with his eyesight and spiritual awareness, he didn't find anything special about these people.

The only thing that was wrong was that these people seemed to be motionless.

"Are they dead?"

Hu Lai's expression was a little cold.

As soon as he entered the door, he met a few people who looked very special. If they were dead, it would not be good news for him.

But Chu Yan slowly left the pavilion.

He had an indescribable feeling. Although he couldn't even detect anything special about these people with his spiritual sense, he always felt that these people were a little... a little weird.

It's like it's covered in smoke, feeling a little unreal.

But what I see before my eyes is clearly real.

"Illusion?"

Chu Yan had such a guess in his mind.

But he quickly rejected it.

He is at the Nascent Soul stage and has already condensed the Nascent Soul in his body.

The golden elixir is broken, the Nascent Soul is born, the soul and the true essence are combined. After breaking through to the Nascent Soul, it is not just a qualitative leap in strength.

His perception ability also increased greatly. Unless it was an illusion or magic array that was far beyond his level, he would have a certain degree of vague perception.

However, what he felt just now was not an illusion.

Unable to speak.

Chu Yan left the rest pavilion and said to everyone, "Keep going inside."

Since I can't figure out what's going on with these people, I'll just ignore them for now.

The thing that appeared at the door was most likely not a powerful character.

Before leaving, Zhang Junmo looked back at the rest pavilion.

Then, he shifted his gaze to the lotus pond next to it.

He couldn't see anything special.

Although this is just the beginning, I shouldn’t have encountered nothing!
However, just after the group left this place.

The necks of several people who were originally motionless in the rest pavilion suddenly twisted.

The neck turned very stiffly, like a rusty and broken machine.

The face, which originally looked normal, became numb and pale.

But those eyes were like those of a dead fish, staring fixedly at the direction where the group of people had gone.
