Hearing the words, Datou immediately took a breath of cold air and hurriedly raised his hand to touch his left wrist to make sure that the Blood Spirit Bead he had given before was still there, and he immediately felt more at ease.

Seeing how nervous Datou was, he smiled and said, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Sir, is there a ghost in this Wuxiang Temple?" Datou looked up.

"Have you noticed anything since you wore the Blood Spirit Bead?" he asked casually.

"I haven't seen it." Big Head shook his head.

"That means no." He let go of Young Master Hei's reins, let him go free, and walked towards the stone steps up the mountain.

Seeing that he was about to go up the mountain, Datou hurriedly looked around, trying to tie up the bloody horse. ??

The sweaty horse was brought back personally, and he knew a lot about its temperament. When Datou wanted to tie the horse, he casually said, "No need to tie it, it won't run around if it has company."

Hearing this, Datou threw the reins onto the back of the sweaty horse and followed quickly, "Sir, I heard that abandoned temples were places abandoned by the Buddha. It is easy for there to be ghosts inside. Here

Really not?"

Climbing up the stairs, "What you said makes sense, but there must be no ghosts in Wuxiang Temple, so don't worry."

"It's okay. Why are you scaring me?" Datou said with relief.

"I didn't scare you. I only said there was something guarding here, and I didn't say it was a ghost." He said casually.

Although Datou practices Qi and martial arts, he is not a Taoist priest. He is very wary of gods, ghosts and evil spirits. When he heard the words, his heart that had just been relieved was tightened again, and he looked around hurriedly, "Thing? What is it?"

"I don't know either," he shook his head and said, "What you just said makes sense. There are so many palaces and monks' residences made of fine stone and wood. If there was no one to guard them, they would have been demolished and moved away by the villagers long ago.

, but there are definitely no monks living here. If there were, they would not allow trees and weeds to grow on the way up the mountain."

"Could it be a thief?" Datou guessed again.

Shaking his head, "Probably not. Even you know that there are ghosts in ruined temples, and bandits and bandits must also know that. They will not occupy this place as a lair, and I have not noticed any smoke and smoke in the mountains."

"It's not a robber or a ghost. Could it be a monster?" Datou hurriedly jumped two steps to catch up. "Sir, I heard that Taoists can see evil spirits. Is there any evil spirit here?"

He said, "People who practice Qi will have their complexions revealed when they use Reiki. Those who have lived for a long time and have Taoism practices also have Reiki cultivation. If they use Reiki to cultivate, their complexions will also be revealed. Their complexions are different from those of Qi practitioners."

The nine colors of red, blue and purple for people with Qi are very similar, but there is a little bit of black Qi mixed in."

"You mean that as long as you are a Qi practitioner, you can see demonic energy even if you are not a Taoist priest?" Datou asked.

"It should be like this. As long as they use spiritual energy, their complexion will be revealed." He nodded.

"What if we lie down and don't move?" Datou asked.

"Then you can't tell." He smiled.

Seeing his calm demeanor and relaxed expression, Datou knew that he had nothing to fear, so he felt at ease and followed him up the stairs to the palace and monk's residence located on the mountainside.

After climbing hundreds of steps, a camphor tree as thick as a bowl appeared in the middle of the road. Wuxiang Temple was very popular back then, and the steps up the mountain were more than two feet wide. The two of them walked around the camphor tree, one on the left and the other on the right.

When he turned back to look at the tree, Da Tou guessed that he was estimating the age of the tree, so he lifted up his clothes and took out the yin and yang wheel from his chest.

He is well aware of the principle that if a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. Previously, he took Datou and others to the Taiping Inn, and each picked a weapon that was handy. What Datou was interested in was the Yin-Yang Wheel. The Yin-Yang Wheel is made of

It consists of two scimitars, one black and one white. When combined into one, it becomes a small circular shield, no more than a foot in diameter. Da Tou usually hides it in his chest and uses it as a heart armor.

The Yin and Yang Wheel is a relic of ancient times. It is extremely miraculous. It consists of four parts. The black and white swords and the two buckles in the middle of the black and white swords. These two buckles are also black and white. The upper part is a raised cylinder, and the lower part is

It is a snap ring that can be stuck on the wrist. If the black knife is stuck on the black buckle, it will become a single piece and become a scimitar. The same is true for the white knife. If the two buckles are stuck on the same wrist, it will become one.

It turns into a circular shield. If the black knife is stuck in the white buckle, or the white knife is stuck in the black buckle, the two scimitars will fly rapidly.

Datou practiced a lot in his spare time, and he was already familiar with the Yin and Yang wheel. After taking out the Yin and Yang wheel, he stuck the black knife directly on his right wrist and took it away with a wave of his right arm. He did not rely on the rotation of the Yin and Yang wheel and cut it with just the sharp blade.

The camphor tree was cut down.

The trunk of the tree broke, and the huge crown gradually tilted. With a clicking sound, the crown rolled down the steps.

He knew that Datou's move was to whistle while walking at night to encourage himself, and also to scare off the snake, but he did not tell the truth and allowed him to take back the yin and yang wheel and move forward to count the years wheel.

After a while, the big head turned around and said, "Sir, this tree is forty-five or six years old."

After nodding, he turned around and stepped forward, "The Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Buddha fifty years ago. According to this, after the last time the Buddha was destroyed, the Wuxiang Temple was completely destroyed.

Abandoned."

"No one has seen it in forty or fifty years. The buildings on the mountain are still so intact. There must be something there." Big Tou clicked his tongue.

"Even if there is something, it will be scared away by you." He smiled.

Datou was about to answer the call when he heard a rustling sound coming from the woods in the northwest. When the sound came, the vegetation in the woods began to shake violently.

"Sir, something is coming." Datou suddenly became alert.

He frowned slightly but did not answer.

Things in the woods move very fast. As the distance gets closer, the sounds coming from the forest become clearer. In addition to the clicking sounds of falling plants and trees, there are also the swishing sounds of sliding against the ground.

When I took an official boat down the river, I encountered a gang of beggars robbing a grain ship and almost died. After I fell into the water, in order to rescue Miss Zhao and others, I ventured through a wetland full of snakes. I almost didn't get bitten by a swarm of venomous snakes that day.

Death, so this swishing sound can be said to be unforgettable, and the shaking of the trees in the forest is not a point, but a line. No need to ask, it must be a huge snake and python.

Just when Datou lifted his clothes to grab the weapon, the giant thing had already passed through the jungle and appeared on the platform above.

With a startled glance, he saw a large area of ​​darkness above, and he was so frightened that he said, "Oh, holy shit."

Datou exclaimed and wanted to turn around and run away, but when he thought that he was still there, he suppressed the idea of ​​​​running away. He took out the Yin and Yang Wheel card and blocked his arms in front of him, "Sir, you go first."

"Where do you want me to go?" he asked with a smile.

Hearing the words, Datou was surprised. He didn't expect that he had no fear. He hurriedly turned his head and looked, only to find that he was not pretending to be calm, but was really calm.

He is indeed not afraid. One of the reasons is that he is a highly skilled person. Another important reason is that he has encountered situations more dangerous than the one before him. The wetland by the river was a big snake's nest. He had no aura at that time.

In order to save Miss Zhao, I mustered up all my courage to venture through the area densely populated with poisonous snakes. In the end, both legs were covered with bite wounds from poisonous snakes. If he hadn't brought the antidote pill, he would have been a skeleton.

Pile up.

There is another reason why I am not afraid, that is, the giant thing above does not seem to be aiming at the two of them. After it quickly appeared in the forest, it did not attack the two of them directly, but swam straight to a platform to the north.

.

When building steps on a high mountain, a platform will be left at regular intervals between the steps for people going up the mountain to stop and rest. At this time, the giant thing is entrenched.

On the second platform above the two of them, Wuxiang Temple has a platform for every thirty-six steps. One step is one foot. As a rough estimate, the giant thing is at least seven feet away from the two of them at this time.

.

After the giant thing appeared, it didn't rush directly towards the two of them, but ran to a high platform and circled around. It can be seen that the giant thing didn't seem to want to attack the two of them, but just wanted to prevent them from going up the mountain.

He quickly judged the situation in front of him and then took a closer look at the giant thing high up. Yizhou was already in the south. There were many pythons in the south and they could grow very big. He originally thought that the giant thing in front of him was a giant python.

But upon closer inspection, I realized it was not a python, but a snake.

It is easy to distinguish between pythons and snakes. Pythons are longer and larger than snakes. The python head is rounder and the snake head is pointed. Moreover, pythons are generally non-venomous, but snakes are usually poisonous.

The reason why pythons are not venomous is that they can grow very large and can strangle their prey without venom, while snakes are small and lack strength and can only rely on venom.

The giant snake entrenched on the high platform was completely black. Since it was coiled, it could not be measured accurately. It was roughly estimated to be at least two feet long. Its waist was slightly thicker than the camphor tree that Da Tou had chopped down earlier, but it was definitely

No more than one foot.

A body shape like this is not very big among pythons, but it is extremely rare for snakes. Moreover, this thing has a pointed head, and you can clearly see the two sharp fangs protruding from the upper jaw. In addition, this thing

There was also a round red scale in the middle of his forehead, adding to the horror and weirdness.

The most nervous moment for Datou was when the giant snake first appeared. When the two sides started to confront each other, he was no longer so afraid. The most important thing was that there was a Taoist priest with superb medical skills standing behind him.

"Sir, I'll do it." Datou tried to step forward and fight.

"Don't act rashly." He stretched out his hand and grabbed the big head. This venomous snake was huge in size and naturally produced a lot of venom. If it were bitten by this guy, it would probably kill him immediately, without even a chance for treatment.

The two of them stood still, and the giant black snake did not take the initiative to attack. It just sat on the high platform with its upper body slightly raised. The snake hesitated and looked at the two of them coldly.

This giant snake not only has black scales all over its body, but also the snake letter in its mouth is black. The snake letter is more than a foot long, and it looks like a forked black whip when it swallows.

"Sir, has this guy become a sperm?" Big Head asked in a low voice.

"What does it take to be considered a master?" he asked rhetorically.

Datou also felt that his question was too general, so he immediately changed it to another question, "Sir, why doesn't it bite us?"
