This was the first time Gu Xiaoxiao saw an incomplete iron statue since entering Bishui Temple.
She went around to the side, carried Lu Yao on her back, and jumped directly into the well.
The environment in the well was very dark, and the golden Zen staff soon emitted a soft light, illuminating the surroundings.
After a few breaths, the well was empty.
There is no water in this well, and there is a downward sloping passage next to it, which is enough to prove that this is not a well at all, but probably a secret room in the Bishui Temple.
Most of the sects in this world have secrets.
But when it reached the bottom, many cracks appeared on the well wall connecting to the passage, and there were even small collapses in some places.
Gu Xiaoxiao carried Lu Yao and walked in with her body hunched.
When she walked through the passage, she soon found herself in a relatively open space.
This is an alchemy room, but an accident must have happened there.
The ground was littered with debris, and the alchemy furnace in the center had completely cracked into a trumpet shape.
"Explosion?" Gu Xiaoxiao looked around and found that although it was dark here, there were many holes in the walls, like windows of a house.
At this time, some dim light from the sky fell from the cave entrances, illuminating the space inside.
Gu Xiaoxiao quickly confirmed that an explosion had indeed occurred here.
Unable to help herself, she recalled the "whisper" Lu Yao heard in the wooden cage: "They said to be careful with the candles."
Chapter 16: Watching the Iron Man
The damage to this alchemy room was quite serious. There was a big hole on the top and scattered metal fragments and human heads all around.
Yes, there is also an iron statue here, but only the head and some broken arms and limbs are left.
After seeing this scene, Gu Xiaoxiao's breathing became a little faster.
Scenes naturally emerged in her mind.
It was a very ordinary day, and the people in Bishui Temple were practicing and refining elixirs as usual.
However, in this secret room, someone accidentally lit a candle, or for some other reason, causing the entire furnace to explode.
The explosion blew several Bishui Temple disciples who were standing near the furnace into pieces, and a disciple who was far away had his leg blown off, and he had to climb up with the broken leg.
But in the end they all became iron men.
A skinny iron man.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn't think that these disciples looked like this when they were alive. They must have experienced something to become like this.
At this moment, through the dim light from the holes, Gu Xiaoxiao discovered that there was a mezzanine on the right wall.
The mezzanine should be similar to a built-in bookshelf, specifically used for storing books.
But after the explosion, most of the books on the bookshelf were burned to ashes, leaving only black ashes.
However, when Gu Xiaoxiao swept away the ashes, she was surprised to find several relatively intact books lying deeper in the room.
Only part of these books were burned and they were barely readable.
Gu Xiaoxiao pulled out these books and found that most of them were about alchemy. She flipped through them several times but couldn't understand them.
But soon, she was attracted by an untitled book.
Because this is not a book on alchemy, but a diary.
However, the diary was damaged in many places and a lot of the middle was torn out, so only a few pages were barely readable.
"On the fifth day of March, I became thinner and thinner, and so did everyone else in the temple.
At the beginning, we looked at each other as if we had seen a ghost, but now we have become numb to it. God knows what we have been through.
Every morning I look at myself, neither human nor ghost, and I feel that we are finished.
My senior sister said that we had contracted a very rare disease, but it would not be life-threatening. We just couldn’t go down the mountain anymore.
But I haven't been to Xiangyun City for a long time, and I will never have the new clothes my mother promised to buy me.
I’m already like this, what else do I need?”
At this point, the diary of what should have been a young person came to an abrupt end.
Gu Xiaoxiao took the diary and looked around the gloomy alchemy room, feeling a chill down her spine.
She could imagine what had happened here during the two years when she had been away from worldly affairs at Bishui Temple.
For some reason, everyone in the temple became skinny.
But they suppressed the matter, and continued to live and make elixirs as usual, until the explosion happened, and they all turned into iron men?
Just imagine a group of people who are as thin as ghosts living and practicing in this temple, just like before. It is terrifying to think that they can still live a normal life.
Is this why they no longer come down the mountain?
Because if one of them came down the mountain, the appearance would be enough to scare people to death.
By then, the secret of Bishui Temple might not be kept.
However, there is no one alive in Bishui Temple now, so Gu Xiaoxiao has no way of knowing what the real secret is.
Especially the torn pages of this diary, which probably record the key to the secrets of the temple.
So, could the strange changes happening to the people in Bishui Temple be related to the terrible fog now?
When she got here, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't get a definite answer. She just felt that Bishui Temple was a very scary place.
At this time, through the dim light from the sky coming through the cave entrance, Gu Xiaoxiao even had an illusion that the broken iron man heads on the ground were looking at her with a very strange look.
Gu Xiaoxiao did not have much experience in facing such strange things alone, so at this moment, she seemed very hesitant.
She felt that she should go back. The things in this temple were too mysterious and she didn't know how else she could investigate.
After all, at present, everything that happened in Bishui Temple has nothing to do with the heavy fog.
But Gu Xiaoxiao always had an illusion that she was not too far away from the truth, but the truth was like a cloud of fog in her palm that she could not grasp.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think, if only the master was here.
Or, it would be nice if that person was there.
After all, she was still too young, so everything seemed a little inadequate.
After a moment, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt something was wrong, because the light in the alchemy room had become dimmer at some point.
She couldn't help but turn her head and suddenly found that a hole in the alchemy room had been occupied by a brown and yellow thing at some point.
This brown-yellow thing is spherical and covered with fine holes, which makes people's scalp tingle.
Gu Xiaoxiao was sure that she had seen this thing before, so she turned around and ran.
The thing in the mist is real, not an illusion!
Gu Xiaoxiao carried Lu Yao and ran as fast as the wind. It didn't take long for them to rush out of the well.
At this moment, she looked back and all the hairs on her body stood up.
I saw a huge head lying outside the Bishui Temple, with its yellow-brown eyes full of holes, looking so scary.
Then, the head rose up, revealing a part of the neck.
The neck was also pitch black, very thin, without a trace of flesh.
Is it going to crawl out?
Gu Xiaoxiao screamed and ran out frantically.
At this time, the thing that seemed to be extremely tall also began to move.
Gu Xiaoxiao knew that she was in huge trouble and this was not something she could handle.
If she had not been protected by the "Mahavairocana Sutra", she would have fallen into the abyss of no return just by looking at the other person.
This thing was moving around Tieshuiguan, and its shoulders were exposed.
His shoulders were still thin, like skin covering bones.
Gu Xiaoxiao didn’t know how tall the other party was. She just felt that this Bishui Peak couldn’t be much taller than this thing.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao had already rushed out of the temple gate with Lu Yao, but when she was halfway out, she suddenly found that the huge head had come to the front.
Without any hesitation, she turned back.
And at this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao felt that it was dark.
A huge palm came down like an overwhelming force, as if half of the Bishui Peak was not enough for its two palms.
Gu Xiaoxiao roared, and the Zen staff emitted a strong golden light and rushed upwards like a cannonball.
There was a loud bang, and the Zen stick collided with the huge palm, making a buzzing sound and sparks flying.
But the Zen staff only blocked the huge, bony hand for a moment, and then it became dim and fell downwards.
At this time, the shadow had completely enveloped Gu Xiaoxiao.
(PS: There is another chapter coming out soon)
Chapter 17 New Siji Opens a Dungeon
With a loud bang, it was as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart...
The pool of water in front of the Bishui Temple, along with the gate, completely exploded. Gu Xiaoxiao rolled over and brushed past the finger that was as strong as an iron pillar.
The water in the pond turned into fine powder, and the mountain gate of Bishui Temple turned into ruins, making a rumbling sound.
The skinny-looking head stood there, with no expression on its face.
Then, it raised its huge yet skinny hand again, ready to take another shot.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoxiao, who had been blown away and seemed to have fainted, suddenly jumped up and rushed forward with Lu Yao on her back.
Almost at the same time, the golden light of the Zen staff flashed, taking her and Lu Yao into an accelerated state.
Soon, Gu Xiaoxiao disappeared into the clouds in the mountains.
Immediately afterwards, a series of tiny noises were heard in the mountains, but they were not as earth-shattering as imagined.
The extremely terrifying head began to move, chasing in the direction Gu Xiaoxiao left.
At this time, Gu Xiaoxiao's brows were furrowed and her forehead was covered with sweat.
She can fly with a flying device, but her ability is limited.
Practitioners at the sixth level of the Divine Mind Realm usually control weapons to kill enemies, and things like flying with themselves are too strenuous.
The next moment, Gu Xiaoxiao simply held the Zen stick in her hand and let herself fall down.
Use your strength wisely, as long as you don't end up falling to your death.
But at this moment, the clouds and mist behind were stirred, revealing the hideous huge head again.
The huge, slender hand attacked again, and the clouds and mist rolled.
Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but roar, shaking off the sweat on her forehead, and rushed forward on her Zen stick.
This is the maximum telekinesis she can mobilize, and it is also the limit of her ability to use the Zen staff.
The Zen stick carried Gu Xiaoxiao upwards, and was about to collide with the huge palm. But at this moment, the Zen stick deflected and carried Gu Xiaoxiao through the gap between the other party's fingers.
Gu Xiaoxiao escaped the disaster by taking a risky move, but her chances were running out.
Her mental power was being consumed at a rapid rate. She felt a splitting headache and kept gritting her teeth to persevere.
The Zen stick carried her and Lu Yao higher and higher.
After reaching the highest point, the Zen stick began to fall, and Gu Xiaoxiao fell with it.
She still retained her last bit of telekinesis, just to avoid falling badly when she landed.
Being high up, Gu Xiaoxiao could see the terrifying head and half of its body in the clouds.
What a huge existence that is.
Even the highest peak here, Bishui Peak, is not much higher than it.
