Chapter 179 Asking the Truth
Chapter 179 Asking the Truth
A murderous aura came from deep within the tower forest. Qin Baiqing subconsciously turned around and looked, following the attack that was about to come in front of her, and saw a pair of hateful eyes behind the spiritual light.
"Prepare to die!" Hua Mu Yao picked up the bouquet of flowers on the top of her head. The poisonous gas was so strong and fragrant that it made people dizzy.
When she smelled the fragrance, her mind went blank for a moment. When she came back to her senses, it was too late to dodge. She watched the poison gas surround her, and then she was repelled by a ray of golden light. The Buddha's light penetrated the poisonous fog, pierced the sky in front of Qin Baiqing, and repelled the poison gas layer by layer.
"Monk! You're ruining my business!"
Hua Muyao missed his attack and was so angry that he quickly dodged the Buddha's light and said angrily: "We have no grudges against each other, why do you target me every time!"
"But you've already sneaked into his house." Qin Baiqing took a step back and watched Zhu Fu deal with Hua Muyao.
The two of them separated as soon as they touched each other. Zhu Fu retreated upon hearing the sound. The inviolable Buddha light around his body instantly retracted, and he returned to his gentle and harmless appearance.
It was as if it was not him who had just forced Hua Mu Yao to retreat.
However, Hua Mu Yao had never succeeded in either pollution or sneak attack, and now he could only utter harsh words in frustration.
"You're just lucky," she took her hand back and sneered, "other than that, you don't have any other skills."
"A bad guy who can only attack by surprise." Qin Baiqing was also indignant.
She felt a little embarrassed after almost being ambushed, and became even more unhappy with Hua Mu Yao.
"A sneak attack is my method. Success is my skill." Seeing that Qin Baiqing was unhappy, Hua Muyao smiled gently and said goodbye happily before disappearing again. "We will meet again. I hope you can have such good luck next time."
Then he disappeared in front of Qin Baiqing again, without any trace of his breath, leaving no sign of his existence.
But the three men were wary and didn't believe that Hua Mu Yao would be willing to leave like that, especially the harsh words she said before she disappeared. It was like a thorn in their heads, making them feel uncomfortable but helpless.
"I can't find her scent."
"This man came to the temple to commit crimes, and I was so negligent. I feel really ashamed." Zhu Fu sighed softly, with Buddha's light flashing around him. He was still on guard against Huamu Yao, whose trace he could not find.
The three tried their best but could not find any trace of Hua Mu Yao, but they were still on guard in case she suddenly appeared again. Qin Baiqing, who was being targeted by her, could not count on luck every time.
"Her aura has completely disappeared." Feng Budu tried to find Hua Muyao's trace, but to no avail. "She carries contamination. Letting her go will only cause endless trouble."
Hearing this, Zhu Fu could only sigh.
"I didn't expect that the impurities would be stolen under the protection of the temple..."
"Brother?" Several people were interrupted by an unfamiliar voice. The monk who had a similar aura to Zhu Fu looked at the three people in confusion, and then said thoughtfully: "The pagoda is an important place and you cannot stay there for a long time. Brother and the guests, it's time to leave."
Then he bowed and chanted the Buddha's name, showing great respect for Zhu Fu.
"This is my junior fellow apprentice, Wen Zhen." Zhu Fu nodded and introduced the two to each other. He then led them away with understanding. "The elders are worried that if they stay too long, they may be contaminated and their minds may be affected. That's why they sent someone to remind you. Please follow me."
They took a last look in the direction of the crack and were about to leave, but the three of them suddenly stopped.
Zhu Fu also sensed the tense atmosphere of danger. The intuition before the crisis was particularly strong, which made the three of them alert instantly and followed the feeling in their hearts to ask for the true direction.
Wen Zhen, who was just talking to the three people normally, was suddenly surrounded by sweet-smelling poisonous gas and was about to be strangled by Hua Muyao. She appeared again and appeared behind Wen Zhen.
The pretty face became cruel and focused, and she approached Wen Zhen sinisterly. The moment she attacked, the three people's hearts were in their throats.
"Beware!"
"Wen Zhen, get out of the way!" The three attacked at the same time. They reacted almost as soon as they saw the poisonous gas from Hua Mu Yao. Their bodies moved forward before their brains, and they arrived in front of Wen Zhen in no particular order. The three rays of light together repelled Hua Mu Yao.
"Thank you very much, senior brother, and thank you both guests." Wen Zhen hadn't reacted to what had happened yet, and could only subconsciously thank them out of fear.
He turned around and saw Hua Muyao, a dark light flashed in his eyes, but he returned to his normal appearance when facing the three people. He thanked them again and asked, "This person trespassed into the pagoda. Brother, do you want me to notify the elders?"
The gentle voice attracted the attention of the three people. Zhu Fu had no guard against him at all. He subconsciously looked in the direction of Wen Zhen and opened his mouth to answer.
But just as Zhu Fu turned around, Hua Mu Yao, who had been pretending to flee, appeared again. This time, he used some kind of teleportation technique and appeared directly in front of Zhu Fu!
"not good--"
"Zhu Fu, be careful, the bad woman wants to catch you!" Qin Baiqing chased after him with her eyes wide open, but Hua Muyao simply dragged Zhu Fu back step by step, and they were about to cross the dangerous edge of the crack.
Just one more step back and you’ll fall into the cracks!
The tiny crack sensed someone approaching and suddenly began to surge with restlessness. Hua Muyao smiled provocatively at Qin Baiqing and dragged Zhu Fu into the crack without saying a word!
"You did it!" Qin Baiqing suddenly reacted and turned around to question Wen Zhen: "You are Hua Muyao's lover. You suddenly appeared to cooperate with Hua Muyao to harm people!"
Wen Zhen didn't come earlier or later, but appeared when they were all looking for Hua Mu Yao. He attracted Hua Mu Yao's attention so abruptly. It was clearly a trick played by the two of them to divert the attention of the three!
The reason why Hua Mu Yao had the opportunity to drag Zhu Fu into the crack was also because Wen Zhen took the opportunity to talk to Zhu Fu, which made him relax his vigilance!
After she figured it all out, she was a little overwhelmed. She was angry and anxious inside. Why are there so many bad monks in Bodhi Temple!
Now that his goal had been achieved, Wen Zhen no longer tried to hide. Relying on his greater familiarity with the aura of the pagoda, he retreated step by step, his figure slowly disappearing.
He actually tried to imitate Hua Mu Yao's method and wanted to hide himself silently.
"I'm really angry!" Qin Baiqing lowered her head, her soft and harmless eyebrows wrinkled, and half of her face was filled with displeasure.
She had been fooled again and again today and her patience was exhausted. This time, no matter what she said, she couldn't get Wen Zhen to leave.
The nine kinds of spiritual power in the body surged together, and were finally all transformed into the ninth kind of spiritual power that could deal with pollution. The surging spiritual energy rolled silently, instantly occupying the entire pagoda.
A huge amount of spiritual energy filled the surroundings of the pagoda. The pollution that had just begun to churn unsteadily under the stirring of Hua Mu Yao instantly retreated and never dared to stick its head out again. Wen Zhen was forced out at the first moment, but she just withdrew her gaze coldly and continued to concentrate on searching for Hua Mu Yao's figure.
She has a polluted aura about her, and will definitely not be swallowed by the crack. She must still be lying in ambush in the dark!
As expected, Qin Baiqing just swept her spiritual power, and Hua Muyao's aura was exposed. She was only one step away from Qin Baiqing at this time, and before she could make a move, she had to retreat.
"You can see me!" Her eyes flashed, and she realized once again how big a threat Qin Baiqing posed to her.
But before Hua Mu Yao could dodge away, an attack with a faint aura came unexpectedly. The murderous intent did not appear until it got close to Hua Mu Yao, and swallowed her up in an instant.
Her expression paused, and she looked at Feng Budu in disbelief along the spiritual light, then looked down at her body that was cut in half. Her vision slowly collapsed, and the unchanging spire of the pagoda appeared in her eyes, overlooking the world, and her vision fell into darkness.
