Chapter 96: Midnight Demon
"That's right, what's wrong?" Qingpingzi noticed Li Miaozhen's strange expression and asked quickly.

Has the relationship between the Tiandi Sect become so bad? Just mentioning their names makes the Saint Maiden of the Tian Sect change color.

If he had known that it might cause discomfort to the saint, he would not have said it.

But based on his personal feelings, Taoist Zi Lian is a kind person and should not be a bad person.

"Nothing." Li Miaozhen shook her head awkwardly.

Almost no one except the top leaders of the three sects knew that the leader of the Di Sect had been possessed by a demon and had led to the downfall of the Di Sect. Even Wei Yuan's night watchmen had not received the news before, let alone this kind of Taoist temple in a small town that had no source of intelligence.

"I wonder what else happened between Taoist Zi Lian and Taoist Priest besides discussing Taoism?" Russell took the opportunity to ask.

"No." Although he didn't understand why Russell asked this, Qingpingzi still answered honestly: "Brother Zilian seemed to have something important to do. He left in a hurry three days later. We didn't have any other interactions."

Really? Russell glanced at Li Miaozhen imperceptibly, only to see her nod slightly.

This is strange. A Yuanying of the Earth Sect who has been possessed by a demon did nothing after discussing Taoism with an old Taoist priest in the countryside for three days. It is really strange.

"Is Taoist Master Qingpingzi here? Jiang Jun has come to fulfill his vow."

At this moment, a pilgrim's shout was heard in the lobby, and the awkward atmosphere was instantly broken. Qingpingzi fled, leaving Russell and Li Miaozhen looking at each other in bewilderment.

"What do you think?" Russell asked.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just... like you said, it's a little strange." Li Miaozhen said hesitantly.

With the connection between heaven and man and the pursuit of knowledge through investigation of things, no demon or evil spirit can escape her perception. Although the other party has achieved unity of knowledge and action and his mind is pure, she still feels very uncomfortable and doesn't know what went wrong.

"Zi Lian has been possessed by the devil for a long time. He passed by here a long way while chasing Jin Lian. It is impossible for him to stay here for three days and discuss Taoism with others for no reason. There must be some other reason." Li Miaozhen's soul transmitted the message.

"That's what I thought." Russell nodded. "In that case, why don't we stay for a few more days and find out the reason."

After a while, Qingpingzi returned to the back pavilion again, and Russell and Li Miaozhen immediately asked to stay for a few nights. Qingpingzi was overjoyed. If possible, he even wished they could stay here forever.

……

Late at night, outside the quiet room, a strange noise was heard.

In the Taoist temple after nightfall, it was silent and quiet. Even the slightest movement would be particularly clear. Russell, who was in a trance, immediately opened his eyes.

Turning around, I saw the moonlight shining through the paper-covered window, casting a pale light.

There seemed to be a blurry black figure lying outside the window, with his head leaning against the window, trying to look into his room.

"How brave!" Russell immediately swung out the Dream Witch Spinal Sword. The sword body suddenly stretched out like a chain sword and hit the screen window. With a bang, the screen window shattered. Russell followed closely and chased into the yard.

However, the open space outside the window was empty, deserted, cold and dark, with nothing unusual. Even after checking the ground outside the window, Russell still couldn't catch a trace of breath.

"What happened?" The noise of the broken window attracted Li Miaozhen's attention. She flew to Russell and asked anxiously.

"Just now there was a figure peeping at my window, but when I chased out there was nothing there." Russell said solemnly.

These Taoist temples, which were originally built tall, majestic and gorgeous, suddenly lost all the feeling of daytime once they entered the cold and deserted night. Only emptiness and silence remained, giving people a feeling of ghosts.

"There is indeed a problem." Li Miaozhen looked around with great interest. Killing demons and eliminating evil spirits was what she, the Feiyan heroine, was best at.

"Why not let Susu go out and explore the route?" Russell suggested.

If he encountered a ghost in the wilderness, it would be fine. He could use the Heaven and Earth Slash skill he had just learned and strike with all his strength to turn any monster into ashes. But now he was on someone else's territory. If he really fought without restraint, he couldn't afford to pay for the Taoist temple.

"Are you still human?" Su Su complained tearfully in the sachet. She was indeed not a human, but Russell was also a real dog. She had not gotten any of the cakes he had painted for her for so long, but she had to do all the dirty work.

"Russell." Li Miaozhen glared at him in annoyance. Russell coughed, then immediately dropped his joking thoughts and said seriously, "Let's first determine Qingpingzi's location. There's something wrong with this Taoist temple. Let's see if he knows."

"Let's act separately." Li Miaozhen agreed.

Uh……

It’s not that Russell is worried about her, it’s just that in horror movies, something always happens when the protagonists separate.

But, forget it, this girl is not just a vase. If she is really pissed off, the entire Taoist temple can be turned into a weapon by her, and who knows who will end up fighting whom.

The two men parted at the back pavilion, one went to explore the ancestral hall, and the other went forward to explore the main hall.

After arriving at the main hall again, Russell discovered that the incense offerings to the Lord of Dao and the Lord of Yuanshi were very strong, while that to the Lord of Lingbao was relatively weaker.

However, I don’t know if it’s because of the lighting or something else, but the entire hall, including the three statues, gives people a dark and eerie feeling.

It makes one feel very uncomfortable.

"Master Qingpingzi." Russell shouted towards the shadows.

There, Qingpingzi huddled up, his lips moving slightly as he uttered meaningless mumblings. His pupils were almost completely filled with darkness, and he looked completely withered.

"Young Master Luo, why don't you take a good rest in the side room? Why are you coming to the main hall?" Qingpingzi, holding Fuchen, revealed his upper body from the shadows, but his lower body remained in the shadows, as if connected to the shadows.

Qingpingzi's state was very different from that during the day. From his tone to his expression, and even to the feeling he gave to Russell, he was completely different from what he was during the day.

"I suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask the Taoist priest." Russell said.

"What's the matter?" These two words seemed to be pushed out of Qingpingzi's throat, full of repression.

"I want to ask, how long has the Taoist priest been possessed by the devil?"

As soon as Russell finished speaking, Qingpingzi's face changed drastically. He opened his mouth and spit out a black light straight at Russell's face. Russell grinned, and his blood and qi were instantly ignited. Suddenly, the blood and qi in his body became boiling hot, like a divine furnace burning fiercely.

He rushed forward, smashed the black light with one punch, and then punched out again, with an extremely fierce fist wind, tearing the air, friction generated high temperature, and hit Qingpingzi's face hard, knocking him into the wall.

"Bastard!" Qingpingzi roared and tried to break free, but was nailed back again.

Punch after punch, Russell's punching speed became faster and faster, and even the air was filled with bursts of explosions, just like the rapid shooting of projectiles from anti-aircraft guns, setting off an impenetrable metal storm.

Boom boom boom!
The light of clarity was spreading, Russell's face was calm, but his hands were like two steel cannonballs, smashing madly at the figure inside the wall, causing black air to overflow and the evil spirit to be shattered.

When a person cries, true love is invincible. This fist only strikes the evil spirit, without hurting the soul!
"call……"

After half a minute, Russell slowly retracted his fist and exhaled lightly.

It was really uncomfortable to restrain my strength when hitting him, and it was even more challenging to wake Qingpingzi up while ensuring that his body was not damaged.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled Qingpingzi, whose painting style had returned to warm colors, out of the wall and placed it on the futon with gentle force.

"What's wrong with him?" Li Miaozhen asked.

She arrived here as soon as Russell and Qingpingzi started fighting.

"You'll know later." Russell looked at Qingpingzi, and saw a golden light of merit blooming between his eyebrows, repairing his physical injuries.

Another half a minute passed before Qingpingzi slowly regained consciousness. Feeling the pain in his body, he looked around at the shattered hall, then at Russell and Li Miaozhen who were staring at him. He realized that he might have lost his memory for a while, and said bitterly:

"What's wrong, poor Daoist?"
