294. The Saint's Evil Thoughts
Under the dim night, Captain Long and his party cautiously approached the circular arch in the backyard.
The moonlight was like frost, illuminating the entire courtyard as if it were clear in the water. With this hazy light, Chen Youcai could clearly see the scene in the courtyard.
I saw a skinny man in Taoist robes, bending over an ancient well and muttering something in a low voice.
His appearance was hidden in the night, Chen Youcai could only see the outline clearly, but the bald head was still very conspicuous, which made him vaguely familiar.
"After receiving the order from Mr. Liu, retreat immediately..."
Just when Chen Youcai was frowning and thinking, Captain Long who was walking in front suddenly stopped and raised his hand to press the headset.
Immediately, his face became a little ugly, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to stand by.
After a while, Captain Long turned his bones, his cheeks twitched, and said, "Mr. Liu said that the difficulty of the mission has exceeded the capabilities of our Bingzi field team, and everyone evacuated the scene!"
After the words fell, everyone looked at each other, looking at each other.
Lu Ningxiang's wonderful eyes flickered, and she turned her head to look at Chen Youcai, but she didn't say anything, but chose to obey the order, and left silently with her companions.
The next moment, the strange sound of chanting sutras in the courtyard stopped, and a gloomy light projected down from the green light above the courtyard, and went straight to the ancient well under the man in the courtyard.
There was a sudden change, even Captain Long himself was aroused curiosity, hesitantly did not leave immediately.
As for Chen Youcai, who was standing at the back of the team, his eyes were wide open. Under his gaze, he saw that there seemed to be a torrent surging in the ancient well, making a splashing sound.
Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of everyone, a simple palm-sized box unexpectedly rose slowly from the mouth of the well out of thin air and hovered in front of the person in the courtyard.
The box was formed like a condensed night, and the whole body was dark and gloomy. However, on its surface, there seemed to be a blood-red halo, shining with a chilling fierce light.
An inexplicable pounding sound broke into Chen Youcai's ears, as if someone's heartbeat had been amplified tens of thousands of times... His eyes were wide open, staring at the weird black box, as if he had seen a ghost.
This heartbeat sound came from the box!
"After so many years, you still came out of the underground palace...why bother?"
A faint sigh sounded from the sky above the courtyard, and then a black figure jumped down from the eaves and stood firmly beside the person in the courtyard.
Under the hazy moonlight, Chen Youcai recognized the iconic cattail fan and white vest of the visitor...it was old man Liu who came in person!
"I'm still worried about this thing. If it falls into the hands of my senior brother, the world will fall into catastrophe again."
The person in the courtyard turned around, Chen Youcai's pupils narrowed sharply, and he recognized him in an instant. It was the weird person who was imprisoned in the stone wall in the underground palace of the old Jinling imperial city before!
"Old Yao, the remnants of the Way of Punishment have escaped, you should have sensed it, right?"
Old Liu stared at the black box, shook his head and said, "Why bother? After fighting for thousands of years, do you have to choose a life or death?"
"My senior brother...should be coming too, so I have to break my oath, break free from the seal, and come out of the underground palace on my own initiative."
With compassion in his eyes, Lao Yao recited a Buddhist name, and then said in a low voice: "I took this thing out on my own initiative to stop my senior brother and the others."
"Well, there are still some of the Evil Punishment Dao envoys hiding in the Sand Kingdom and the Black Continent, where there are constant wars and wars all year round. We have worked hard for so many years to prevent them from bringing the war to the Great Xia Kingdom."
After saying this, Old Liu turned his head abruptly, and yelled toward the backyard door: "Chen Youcai, come here!"
Damn, how did he find me? ?
Chen Youcai's eyelids twitched, and he almost fell to the ground in fright.
Under the horrified gaze of Captain Long and others, Chen Youcai smiled awkwardly, had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked towards the backyard alone.
"Elder Liu."
Chen Youcai stepped forward, smiled at Old Liu, his palms were covered with beads of sweat.
When he got close to that strange black box, he felt an evil and frightening aura even more.
The pounding heartbeat inside the box seemed to be twitching Chen Youcai's nerves and heartstrings with an invisible force.
"I know you have accepted the meritorious task, take out your things."
Old Liu Tou didn't say much, just pouted at the box, "Don't ask too many questions, just do as I tell you."
"……it is good."
Chen Youcai hesitated for a moment, took out the small bronze incense burner from his pocket, and held it quietly in his palm.
"Chemical Furnace?"
The bald-headed old Yao let out a sigh, looked at Chen Youcai deliberately, and then asked the old Liu, "Is this the newly selected merit envoy?"
"Well, it's one of them. We have selected countless enlightenment people, but in the end, there are very few who can pass the test and keep their original intentions."
Old Liu didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "It is really difficult for ordinary people to gain extraordinary abilities and resist the temptation of foreign things."
"Chen Youcai, a kid, is a fool who is blessed with a fool."
What he said made Chen Youcai's face blush slightly, and he touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, feeling that there was something in Old Liu's words.
"Time is running out, you activate the Huayuan Furnace, and I will trap this evil thought!"
The bald-headed old Yao's expression became a little dignified. After speaking to old Liu and Chen Youcai, he took a deep breath, and immediately stretched out his skinny right palm, and pressed it on the lid of the black box.
The next moment, heart-piercing howls and shouts came from inside the box, as if the entrance to purgatory had been opened!
"open!"
Old Liu shouted loudly, his eyes were shining brightly, fixed on the small bronze stove in Chen Youcai's hand.
Wisps of transparent vermilion flames burst out from the small hole in the furnace. Chen Youcai was startled and wanted to throw the small incense burner away.
Fortunately, he reacted in time, suppressed this thought, and after careful induction, there was nothing strange coming from the furnace body, it was still the cold and hard touch.
At this moment, wisps of black air leaked out from the gap in the lid of the black box, winding up into the air like a living thing, leaping several meters high in the blink of an eye.
The bald old Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his left hand and grasped out of thin air, he actually grasped the wisps of black smoke as if they were real objects, even though it twisted and struggled in his palm, he still refused to let go.
The vermilion flame in the small incense burner became more and more dazzling, and the bright flame reflected in the night sky in the courtyard, making Chen Youcai's face red, and also the black smoke in the hand of the bald old Yao.
"Bold, how dare you try to refine the sub-sage Cannian!"
A startled and angry roar suddenly sounded from the courtyard, like thunder exploding on the ground, making Chen Youcai's eardrums buzz.
His heart was full of energy and blood, his head became dizzy, and his eyes were sometimes black and sometimes white. In the blur, he could only vaguely see a figure flying towards him, and snatched the Huayuan incense burner away.
Taoist Tzu Du, it is Taoist Tzu Du who is here!
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the frosty white hair of the other party, and Chen Youcai was startled. Just as he was about to subconsciously reach out to snatch back the small incense burner, he felt someone push his shoulder hard.
His whole body was pushed backwards by this strong force, and when he stabilized, he found that he was already standing in front of the backyard doorway.
