Chinese comics: meticulously crafted from the goddess of Zhu Xian

The aperture fades.

With a dull thud, the bat corpses that were piled up like a hill around the four people suddenly poured in from all directions.

The four of them flew away quickly, but their bodies were covered in blood.

Chapter 71: Sarcasm

The blood is black and red in color and has an extremely foul smell.

The four of them were all from the Qingyun Sect and were usually clean, especially Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er who loved cleanliness even more. The situation at this moment was more painful than being stabbed three times.

The four of them walked away, and at this moment they just wanted to get as far away from the pile of disgusting bat corpses as possible.

After walking a long way in one breath, they came to a relatively flat rock. After patting their clothes and tidying them up for a long time, they only brushed off some debris, but the traces of bat blood and the foul smell could not be wiped away no matter what.

Ling Yi and Zeng Shushu are the better two men.

But Lu Xueqi's usually cold face was even more like frost and snow at this moment. She rubbed and rubbed her clothes fiercely, and it seemed that she would not stop until these disgusting things were removed from her body.

At this moment, there were suddenly a few whistling sounds from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw four rays of light flashing in the sky, two yellow, one white and one blue.

A moment later, the four rays of light fell in front of them, and after a flash, four figures appeared.

The two people on the left are monks. The one behind is tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a face full of flesh. He looks intimidating without even getting angry. If he wasn't wearing a monk's robe, people would have mistaken him for a highway robber.

But the other monk standing in front of him was a young monk who was a head shorter than him. He was completely different from him, with fair skin, bright eyes, and a moon-white robe. He looked a little thin, but no one looked down on him anyway.

The two people on the right are a young man and a young woman. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They are a perfect match standing together, just like a golden boy and a jade girl in front of a fairy throne.

The four men looked at the four people from Qingyun Sect and frowned when they saw the blood stains on their bodies. The young and fair-skinned monk chanted a Buddhist name first and said:

"Amitabha, may I ask if the four donors are disciples of Qingyun Sect?"

The four people from Qingyun looked at each other, Ling Yi walked out, returned the greeting, and said:

"That's right. I'm Ling Yi from Dazhu Peak. These are my senior sisters, Tian Ling'er, Lu Xueqi, and Zeng Shushu. You are..."

The young monk smiled and said, "I am Fashang from Tianyin Temple, and this is my junior fellow apprentice Fashan. The two beside him are Li Xun and Yan Hong, the outstanding disciples from Fenxiang Valley."

The tall Fashan greeted them in a muffled voice, but Li Xun and Yan Hong from Fenxiang Valley looked arrogant and nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting.

Ling Yi frowned, and immediately ignored the two people from Fenxiang Valley, and said to Faxiang: "I have long heard of Senior Brother Faxiang from Tianyin Temple. He is praised by the righteous cultivators as a rare talent in a thousand years. I am glad to see him today, and he is indeed very talented!"

The Dharma Image smiled slightly and said, "Brother Ling, you really flatter me. I am a dull monk, but my master Puhong has not given up on me and taught me the true Dharma. I hope to do some good deeds for the people of the world, but I dare not compare myself with the brothers from Qingyun Sect."

Ling Yi laughed loudly, waved his hands repeatedly, and said: "Senior Brother Faxiang is too modest."

At this time, Li Xun of Fenxiang Valley, who had been left aside since the beginning of the conversation, no longer looked very happy.

After Ling Yi finished his introduction, he suddenly said coldly:

"Brother Ling, your Qingyun Sect has always regarded itself as the leader of the righteous path, and your Taoist method is unique in the world. Why do you all look so embarrassed today?"

The faces of the four people from Qingyun Sect all changed.

Ling Yi felt even more disgusted when he saw his arrogant attitude, and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

However, Lu Xueqi had stopped wiping her clothes at some point, and her beautiful face was frosty as she looked coldly at the two people from Fenxiang Valley.

But more often he was staring into the eyes of the beautiful woman named Yan Hong.

Ling Yi laughed and said, "To be honest, I came here with three of my fellow disciples last night. We wanted to find the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats, but unexpectedly we were attacked by countless bats."

When the four Fashangs heard this, their faces changed.

The tall and strong Fashan widened his eyes and said in a rough voice: "Well, those are the countless beasts in the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats. They are ferocious and cruel, and very difficult to deal with."

Ling Yi knew that the four people in front of him had probably arrived a few days earlier and had also run into these troublesome guys.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Zeng Shushu laugh loudly behind him. He walked forward and smiled at Fashan and said:

"Brother Fashan, so you have also encountered these vampire bats?"

Fashan nodded, looking very straightforward, and said, "Yes, there were too many bats, so we had to retreat."

Zeng Shushu exclaimed, "Ah!" and sighed, "To be honest, we also encountered those bats last night. We wanted to get rid of them, but we killed them from morning till night. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't kill them all. In the end, we could only drive these vicious creatures back to the cave, but we were also covered in filth. Sigh, how ashamed! How ashamed!"

He turned around and looked at Ling Yi. The two smiled at each other and said in unison:

"Shame on you! Shame on you! It was just one night of killing."

Everyone's expressions changed.

The difference was that Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley snorted with a look of disdain on his face.

The beautiful woman Yan Hong seemed a little shy.

But there was also a look of disbelief on his face.

The Dharma image of Tianyin Temple smiled without saying a word, but Fashan's face showed admiration.

Tian Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the two people who were smiling so brightly, wondering when they had become so in sync with each other.

After a moment, the Dharma Image smiled and said:

"For this Kongsang Mountain incident, the elders of our three sects originally wanted us young people to undergo some training. Now that everyone has arrived, the brothers and sisters of Qingyun Sect must have come a long way and worked hard. Why don't we take a rest for a day and then go into the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave to investigate tomorrow morning?"

At this time, Li Xun, who was standing next to him, snorted coldly and said:

"Brother Faxiang is right. Otherwise, after we go in, someone will find some excuses."

Ling Yi, Tian Ling'er, Zeng Shushu and Lu Xueqi, who all come from famous and prominent families, are all loved by their teachers and elders in their respective lineages, and each of them does not have some pride in his bones.

Ling Yi snorted coldly and said, "Senior Brother Li Xun is right. Otherwise, I will be powerless to save you when the time comes!

But there is no need to rest for a day. We can change into clean clothes, rest for a while and then continue working. "

Li Xun obviously didn't expect that everyone under Qingyun Sect was so arrogant.

He was born in Fenxiang Valley, and had been valued by his teachers since he was young. In terms of practicing Taoism, except for a few people, he was far superior to his peers. As a result, he developed an arrogant personality that looked down on everything. How could he tolerate such humiliation?

His expression changed immediately, and he stared at Ling Yi and said, "So Senior Brother Ling's cultivation is far better than mine. I would like to learn from him."

As this matter concerns the reputation of the sect, Ling Yi straightened his body and was about to leave. Suddenly, Lu Xueqi suddenly walked out from behind him, stood in the middle of the field, and said coldly: "Don't bother Junior Brother Ling, I will come to experience the immortal method of Fenxiang Valley."

Li Xun was suddenly stunned. Although Lu Xueqi was covered in blood, the skin on her jade-like face was as white as snow. Although her expression was cold, she had a dignified and elegant beauty that looked down on everyone.

He had never seen such a beauty before, and was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, the Dharma Image of Tianyin Temple came out and said with a smile: "My fellow brothers, we came here to investigate the remaining members of the Demon Cult. Before we left, I believe that all the teachers and seniors have already taught us. If they knew that we were acting impulsively here, I am afraid we would be punished when we return. Besides, these are just small matters. How about everyone giving in a little?"

Li Xun came back to his senses, snorted, and looked up at the sky. Although he didn't say anything, his meaning was quite obvious.

Ling Yi was thinking of Taoist Master Daoxuan's instructions before he left, so he took the opportunity to step down and called out from behind:

"Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Faxiang is right. Let's just maintain peace."

Lu Xueqi looked at everyone, snorted, and walked back.

Afterwards, Ling Yi brought the three people from Qingyun Sect to find a place on the mountain, and then used magic to condense rainwater to wash Mu vigorously.

At that moment, everyone separated, washed up, and found a secluded place to change clothes. Then they came out to meet Fashang and others.

Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er were both girls, so it was not very convenient for them to change clothes. The place where they could change clothes was also the farthest away, so they came out last.

When everyone looked at them, they saw that they were radiant after washing and grooming. Their original beauty was even more charming. Everyone's eyes lit up immediately. Not to mention Zeng Shushu, Li Xun and others whose eyes lit up, even Fenxiang Gu Yanhong, who had been silent all the time, looked at them a few more times.

Ling Yi was already used to this kind of thing, so he wasn't too surprised.

After that, the group had a conversation and asked the Dharmakāya some questions before continuing their action.

Chapter 72: Cave

Fashang and others had arrived several days earlier and had already found the location of the Ten Thousand Bats Ancient Cave.

Everyone followed carefully and finally arrived at the entrance of the Wanfu Ancient Cave.

This is a huge cave halfway up the mountain, located in the shade of the mountain, sloping slightly downward. There is only a little light at the entrance of the cave, and it is pitch black inside.

Standing about five or six feet away from the cave entrance, everyone felt the cold wind blowing out of the cave, brushing across their faces, chilling them to the bone.

At the same time, there were faint rustling sounds coming from the room, like whispers, like ghost cries, which made people feel numb.

Ling Yi looked at the cave for a few more times, then turned back and said, "Then let's go in."

Everyone was silent, and the Dharma Image nodded and said, "That's right, but the danger in this cave is unpredictable, so you'd better prepare your magic weapons just in case."

Since it was a matter of life and death, no one dared to be negligent and took up the magic weapons in their hands.

"Let's go."

Having said that, Ling Yi, as the contemporary number one person in Qingyun Sect, could only be the first to walk towards the dark cave.

There was no danger when they first entered. After everyone got familiar with the environment, they walked inside.

At this moment, the rustling sound like the whisper of a demon also became louder, as if it was far away, yet seemed to be right next to him, everywhere.

In this way they walked another three or four feet.

Ling Yi, who was at the front, sensed something and suddenly whispered, "Slow down!"

Everyone stopped immediately and saw Ling Yi's magic sword rising slowly. The light gradually became brighter, illuminating the cave in front. Everyone held their breath.

This was a huge cave, with the top of the cave extremely high off the ground. Under the white light of the fairy sword, everyone could see that at the top of the cave, there were countless black bats hanging upside down in dense swarms, and the rocks of the cave were almost invisible.

The "rustling" sound was caused by the friction between these animals.

In the darkness, the bats illuminated by the white light seemed to feel uneasy. They moved one by one, but did not fly. Instead, they used their claws to climb on the rocks and moved towards the darkness. Some simply grabbed onto their own kind.

Those fangs and big mouths that became more terrifying in the darkness were frightening.

Everyone stopped for a moment, not daring to breathe.

Everyone realized that although the light here was particularly eye-catching in the darkness, these bats did not seem to move and would not attack.

After discovering this, everyone was somewhat relieved. The Dharma Image whispered, "Fortunately, my judgment was correct. Everyone, let's continue on our way."

Everyone turned around and walked deeper into the darkness of this horrific ancient cave.

As they moved forward, the bat droppings under their feet became thicker and thicker, and under the shining white light of the fairy sword, the bats on the ceiling of the cave seemed endless, increasing in number, with sharp fangs and teeth, humming and whistling around them.

If it weren't for the fact that the eight of them all possessed righteous magical powers and had strong wills, an ordinary person would have gone crazy.

Soon, after walking for a while, Ling Yi felt something strange under his feet, as if he had stepped on hard ground.

The Dharma image standing in the front whispered a Buddhist name, and after a moment, a round bead shining with solemn golden light was raised from his hand.

At first, the light seemed to be attached to the Dharmakāya, but as the Dharmakāya's magic power urged it, the golden light suddenly became stronger. With the bead as the center, the golden light surged in all directions like a tide. Standing in the same place, one could almost hear a whistling sound in one's ears, and the golden halo had passed by one's side.

The faces of everyone present were reflected in a faint golden color, and at the same time, they felt relaxed. Even if they were a little nervous, it was calmed down in an instant.

Such a large space became as bright as day in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the hideous rocks and crawling bats, one would almost think he had arrived at a Buddhist paradise.

Li Xun, who always looked down on others, was a little surprised at this moment. He stood aside and said in amazement: "Reincarnation Pearl!"

The Dharma Image glanced at him and said, "Senior Brother Li has good eyesight."

Li Xun seemed to be suddenly more polite to Faxiang in his words, and said, "I dare not, Brother Faxiang, you are the one with profound Taoism."

With the help of the light of the "Reincarnation Pearl", everyone could see clearly that they were indeed stepping on clean hard ground.

I just looked up and saw that the black bats on the rock cave ceiling above my head had disappeared for some reason, but the rustling sound was still clearly in my ears.

After taking another closer look, he discovered that countless black bats were still gathering at the top of the cave behind him.

But on the hard ground where they were standing, there was a thin red line across the rock at the top of the cave, which looked like a vein growing in the rock.

With this thin red line as the boundary, countless bats gathered and crowded outside, and not a single one crossed the red line. And just a few feet away from their feet, there was no smelly bat droppings outside.

The Dharma Image looked around and said in a deep voice, "There are many strange things here, everyone must be careful."

Everyone knew what was going on, but after finally stepping onto a clean place and checking that there was nothing unusual around, the first thing most people did was to tidy up their clothes.

"Let's go." Ling Yi said as he walked towards the depths of the cave.

Everyone followed, and soon, as they moved forward, they fell into endless darkness behind them.

And in front of them, the darkness seemed like a monster, with its arms open and a hideous grin on, welcoming their arrival.

A little light in the darkness, moving slowly forward.

I didn't know how far I had walked. This ancient and deep cave seemed to have no end. Although it was still very spacious, it was so winding and tortuous that it was almost impossible to tell the direction, except that it roughly sloped towards the underground.
