Gao Wu: My Dragon Valley System

Chapter 358: Hell Ghost Temple!

When the group walked past the edge of the lotus pond and followed the path around, they saw a white stone tower appear in front of them on the right!
This is the Wanshou Pagoda in Nanduopu Temple.

There are two Wanshou Pagodas, located at both ends of the release pond next to the lotus pond.

At a height of about three or four meters on the Wanshou Pagoda, there is a circle of Bodhisattva statues carved.

The statue looks dignified and sacred, as if it can drive away all evil.

And in the front left is a spring, with clear spring water gushing out and then falling down.

The group just glanced at it all, without paying too much attention, and continued to move forward.

At the moment, they felt like a group of tourists visiting a temple.

But in this entire temple, it seemed that there were only a few of them active.

After turning a corner, everyone saw the release pond next to the lotus pond.

However, when Zhang Junmo and others passed by, they saw that there were no living creatures in the release pond.

The surface of the pool was dead silent, and nothing could be seen beneath the murky water.

Looking at the silent surroundings, Gao Shengzhong couldn't help but whispered: "The peaceful place of Buddhism is now filled with weirdness and eeriness, and there is a dead silence. It's really weird!"

Zhang Junmo glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the ghost hasn't come out yet!"

In fact, the temple does not occupy a very large area.

The entrance paths to the east and west gates are divided by lotus ponds on both sides.

At this time, standing at the corner of the path, Zhang Junmo and his group had already seen several other people at the intersection more than a hundred meters away.

The two sides did not come together.

Chu Yan led a few people along the road and walked to the main entrance of the Heavenly King Hall.

The other group continued to go deeper along the path to the east.

However, for such a small temple, the nine people split into two groups and thoroughly inspected it in just a few minutes.

From beginning to end, everything works fine!
It's so normal that readers almost think the author has rewritten a travel article.

Chu Yan and another Nascent Soul Realm expert even climbed up the Wuxian Mountain together and conducted a carpet search of the entire mountain.

But in the end, everything is normal!
All of them didn't even see a single evil spirit.

Do not!
Apart from themselves, they hardly saw anything moving in the entire temple, including the Five Immortals Mountain behind it.

There are no people, no ghosts, and no living things!
The entire Nandup Temple was completely empty!
"What the hell is going on!?"

Zhang Junmo's eyes narrowed slightly and he began to think.

When I walked in before, I felt like I had entered a ghost town.

But why is it that, after everyone has thoroughly searched the temple, they have found nothing?
This shouldn't be the case.

The nine people gathered again at the entrance of the Heavenly King Hall.

Zhang Junmo's eyes swept to both sides. There were two places for giving incense on both sides of the main entrance of the Heavenly King Hall.

When we met before, I found that there were exactly nine incense sticks in the three incense donation places.

In addition to the five incense sticks that Chu Yan took, there were four incense sticks in the other two gift places.

Just right, one for each person.

"Is it possible?"

Zhang Junmo suddenly thought of something and was about to speak.

But Chu Yan and another Nascent Soul Realm expert suddenly took out the incense and distributed it to everyone.

This made Zhang Junmo want to complain.

What's going on?

Can any of you read minds or something?
But it seems that the big guys all have strong thinking abilities!

Come to think of it, the Nascent Soul is a fusion of true essence and soul, and can even exist independently outside the body.

It's like having two brains thinking.

Although my thinking ability is extremely strong at this moment, others may not be worse than me.

"Under the current circumstances, my guess is that our only hope of contacting the supernatural is to rely on these few sticks of incense."

Chu Yan speculated: "Nine incense sticks, just one for each person. It's like they were prepared for us in advance."

"Or, this incense is a trap."

"Or, this incense is the key! A key to open the real door here!"

Everyone took the incense and were slightly startled when they heard Chu Yan's words.

Then everyone looked at the incense without any hesitation in their eyes.

One of them raised his finger slightly, and suddenly, nine incense sticks were lit.

A cloud of smoke spread out, but it seemed to be pulled by something and surrounded the nine people.

When the smoke covered everyone's eyes, everyone was stunned where they were!
At this moment, they seemed to have stepped into another world!
A land of death and ruin...

A world like hell!

The sky above is still covered with dark clouds.

But unlike before when only this area was covered by dark clouds, the entire sky was extremely dark.

The world seems to be covered by a filter, appearing gray and colorless.

Zhang Junmo looked around and saw black spots floating in the air, like ashes floating after an object burned.

I felt something strange in my throat when I breathed.

At this moment, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"Is this...is this hell?!"

Hu Lai was also watching the changes around him.

His eyes moved, and everything he saw was like a special effect in a movie: the walls were peeling off, the ground was cracked and dirty, the house became crooked and in a dilapidated state, with holes everywhere.

The cold wind blew, and sounds like the howling of ghosts and wolves spread through the dilapidated building.

The pond for releasing animals in front of the Heavenly King Hall had turned scarlet, like blood!

The pool water, whose color suddenly changed, actually became clearer than before.

Looking down through the pool of water, there were actually corpses piled up together, twisted and weird!

On the two longevity pagodas standing on both sides of the release pond, the originally carved Bodhisattva statues have now turned into mummies embedded in the pagodas!

The mummies were placed in various postures, as if imitating the compassionate images of the Buddhas.

It's just that their eye sockets are empty, their mouths are wide open, and their faces are distorted.

Instead, it looks like a struggle.

It has nothing to do with the so-called Buddha who is compassionate and saves all living beings!
It is obvious that they suffered unimaginable despair and pain during their lifetime.

The fountain no longer splashed with water, but was replaced by the stench of blood.

Floating on the lotus pond are no longer just lotus flowers and lotus leaves.

The lotus leaves turned into pale, bloodless human skin!

And under the human skin, the originally blooming lotus turned into a complete human face!

Everything has changed!

The temple along the way, which originally seemed almost normal, at this moment, truly turned into a ghost temple as if it was built in hell!
"in the end……"

"What the hell..."

"How many people died!" Even though they had experienced countless life-and-death battles and had extremely strong mental will, at this moment, they were all shocked by the scene before them.

"What are we protecting?"

Some people even had doubts.

This includes Hu Lai.

They are proud to be a member of the Dragon Court, and they practice hard and work hard to protect the city.

Nowadays, when it comes to social stability, the Celestial Empire is definitely the best in the world!

And this is the result of their all efforts!
But now?
Looking at the countless corpses.

Aren’t they… the very beings that I’m trying so hard to protect?

"Calm down!"

However, at this moment, Chu Yan and another Nascent Soul Realm expert shouted almost at the same time.

Their voices were accompanied by powerful fluctuations of spiritual consciousness that swept across the crowd.

All of a sudden, the few people who were originally in self-doubt woke up immediately!
Damn!

Hu Lai was horrified. He didn't expect that his mental will would be affected just by seeing this scene.

As he is at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, his mental will is absolutely strong!

In theory, it shouldn't be so easily affected.

But the problem is, the more they care about their lives and their responsibilities, the greater the shock they feel when they see this scene!

Naturally, the spiritual will will also experience some fluctuations.

No one blames them.

On the contrary, it only shows that they truly love this country, this city, and the people they protect.

Zhang Junmo's heart gradually grew colder.

In his priestly state, his mental will was extremely strong, and the sacred aura in his body made him immune to even the slightest influence of consciousness.

But a ball of anger emerged in his heart!

Are the bodies here the people who died here, or are they people who were killed by the evil spirits that spread from the temple?
If it is the former, then it would mean that the number of people who died because of this temple is far more than what they saw!
If it is the latter, it does not make the crime here any less serious.

Either way, it means that the existence hidden here is insane and absolutely opposite to humanity!

"This temple has existed for more than a thousand years. The bodies here may not be from the recent killings."

Chu Yan walked to the release pond, took a close look at the bodies under the pond, and then said, "Although the clothes of these people do not have obvious modern or ancient styles, we can roughly tell that some of the clothing styles are at least 20 or 30 years old."

"In other words, the bodies here have been piling up for at least 20 or 30 years?"

Du Wenhe's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't feel relieved at all.

Although the bodies here have been piled up for a long time, it does not mean that they are entitled to alleviate their guilt.

On the contrary, Long Ting felt even more ashamed because he was completely unaware of the fact that people had been brutally killed in this temple for decades.

This shows that as the guardians of Xiamen City, they have not done enough!
"Now is not the time to think about this. I think we should deal with the trouble at hand first!"

Chu Yan’s words brought everyone back to their senses.

Only then did they notice that there were faint and sparse sounds coming from all around them.

Zhang Junmo's eyes suddenly focused as he looked at the Wanshou Pagoda, which had tilted and turned gray and dilapidated.

The mummy that was originally embedded on it suddenly moved.

At the same time, the fountains at the intersections on both sides no longer spurted blood, but instead could be heard faintly making dense noises.

It felt like there were countless bugs crawling around!

Almost at the moment when Zhang Junmo had this thought, he saw that countless blood-red insects began to spew out from the original fountain!

"Fuck! I have trypophobia!"

Dense swarms of insects gushed out like a fountain, and then spread out along the ground from both sides like a red carpet.

And under the feet of the crowd, the shadow that was not clear in the dim light suddenly became as black as ink, and the shadow quickly lengthened and became extremely strange!

The people who originally planned to jump onto the roof to avoid the insects suddenly felt that their bodies were somewhat out of control and were stunned!
Then they saw the shadow change.

Zhang Junmo didn't care about these things at all. The light power in his body surrounded him and instantly cut off the influence of the shadow.

The controlling power from the shadow was too weak for him, not enough to make him expend his energy to resist.

Perhaps it's because the evil spirit controlling the shadow is not strong enough.

Evil spirits do not have clear and specific realm divisions like those of practitioners, but based on the supernatural intelligence Long Ting has collected so far, he has determined that the divisions of evil spirits are only based on the differences in major realms, with no obvious differences in minor realms.

Because if a ghost kills people according to a certain rule, it is difficult to judge the lethality.

Some people's ability to restrain evil spirits will not be affected, while some people's realm is strong but they are completely unable to stop evil spirits from killing people.

Only by crossing a great realm and forming absolute suppression can one ignore the evil spirits of a lower level.

Generally, a corpse controlled by an evil ghost or a ghost that has suffered severe damage will have strength one level lower than the evil ghost's original level and has no consciousness, like a robot.

Zhang Junmo released the control of the shadow ghost almost instantly. At the same time, he stepped on the ground with his feet. The power of light penetrated through his feet and turned the shadow ghost into nothingness silently!
In the game, the priest controls the power of thunder and lightning and the sacred power of light, but in the game attributes, these two powers belong to the light system.

But in reality, Zhang Junmo possesses two different powers.

But the same thing is that these two forces have a strong restraining effect on evil spirits!
Moreover, with the effect of the title "Playing with Evil Ghosts" increasing the damage to evil ghosts/ghosts by +20%, Zhang Junmo is simply a walking sun to the shadow ghosts who are only comparable to those of refined gods!

The 20% light attribute increase provided by the skill Ruthless Strike is also effective against Zhang Junmo's thunder attribute.

Silently, a circle of thunder appeared under Zhang Junmo's feet.

On the surface, the ground around Zhang Junmo seemed to have not changed at all.

However, when the blood-red insect tide in front rushed towards Zhang Junmo, its movements suddenly froze and then became silent.

At this time, the others also got rid of the influence of the shadow ghost and used their abilities to kill the blood-red bugs.

The insect swarm may seem scary, but it's just insects.

But what really concerns people is the dried corpse that slowly crawled down from the Wanshou Pagoda, and the corpse that crawled out of the release pond at some unknown time!
Upon closer inspection, there were nine mummies and corpses that had come out of the pool.

"Is this a one-to-one correspondence for the nine of us?"

Zhang Junmo guessed this in his heart.

The horrible attack that they had imagined did not occur. The mummies and the white and swollen corpses soaked in the pool simply walked towards the back of the group.

"Are these guys simply trying to attach themselves to us?"

Everyone can see the current situation.

But even if there is no attack, no one would want to be possessed by such a thing.

Disgusting!

boom!
boom!
Waves of energy burst out, and it wasn't even a proper attack, and the corpses were directly shattered!

However, at the moment when these nine corpses were turned into ashes, another nine corpses appeared in front of everyone.

Explode again!
Appears again!
Repeat this process several times in a row.

"Ghost slave?"

Zhang Junmo looked at those fearless and fearless people who kept approaching the corpses of the crowd like robots, and said softly.

It seems that there is a source ghost behind this that controls everything.

Its purpose is to let these ghosts attach themselves to people, and then use them as carriers to leave here and spread the bad luck?

Or, use them to kill those with special abilities?
I have to say, it’s a good idea. There are quite a few people with special abilities in Dragon Court!

Ah!
However, no matter what is hidden behind it, it must be destroyed today!
