Chapter 1651

Gu Zheng felt the surrounding atmosphere quickly become chaotic, and the originally calm sky was covered by yellow clouds again. He knew that the violent sandstorm was coming.

Looking at the pale and desperate monk, Gu Zheng's heart moved. He didn't have time to think about other problems. He pointed at Xiaoying with a wink.

Xiaoying nodded reluctantly, and a green light shot out of her hand, and in a blink of an eye, she surrounded the monk, like a zongzi.

Xiaoying pulled him casually, and the whole person quickly approached this side.

"Pay attention!" Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the storm coming, and said subconsciously.

The next moment, a strong golden light rose on the spot, and at the same time, a yellow tornado that penetrated the sky and the earth rose, and in the blink of an eye, it submerged the golden light.

After an incense stick of time, a huge quicksand pit was left on the spot, and the golden light in the middle had disappeared.

"Pfft!"

In a high bulging sand dune, a smaller figure rose from the air and spit out the sand in his mouth repeatedly.

At the same time, two figures suddenly appeared below, slowly floating a little above the sand dune.

"I asked you to wait for me, and you got the loss this time." Gu Zheng looked at Xiaoying who was spitting saliva above, and couldn't help saying.

"Who would have thought that I would be buried deep below, it's really abominable." Xiaoying finally got rid of the sand on her body, and then said.

Then she turned her head and looked around, pointing to the distance with some surprise.

"Mr. Gu, look, is that the Sand Sea City?"

Not far away from them, a majestic city appeared in front of them, built up by huge rocks, hundreds of feet high, as if to block the strong winds that blew in the air all the time.

The sand brought by the strong wind flew towards the city, but at this time a layer of yellow barrier rose up, blocking them all outside.

"That's right. Since we can't find it, let this sandstorm take us a way, but the distance is closer than we thought." Gu Zheng looked at the surrounding hills, which were dozens of feet high. He felt that if they continued to rise, they could surround the Sand Sea City into a valley.

Originally, Gu Zheng thought he had to walk a little further, but he didn't expect to be sent directly to his doorstep.

"And this little monk, what should we do?" Xiaoying pointed to the little monk next to him who was still surrounded by green light and asked, "Otherwise, just throw him out and leave him for three days and three nights, so that he can stop us from coming in."

"Forget it, let him go. The other party doesn't want us to come in, but is afraid of getting us in trouble." Gu Zheng shook his head to stop Xiaoying's suggestion.

"Well, that's a bargain for him." Xiaoying muttered, reluctantly.

Gu Zheng looked at Xiaoying in confusion, and scanned her from beginning to end, but didn't find any problems. He felt that the other party seemed a little irritable, but he still listened to his own words and took a closer look when he had time.

With a childlike personality like hers, her emotions are easily disturbed by the outside world. She needs to be taught well and not to take the wrong path.

"Who are you!" Gu Zheng watched Xiaoying let the other party out, and when he came back, he heard a loud shout from behind.

Gu Zheng turned his head and saw that it was several people in monk robes flying towards him from a distance.

"Brother Liao, they came from outside to pay homage to the master, and they also saved my life, but suddenly a sandstorm swept them back again." The monk behind him saw four people flying from a distance and said hurriedly.

"So that's it, two donors, I'm so sorry, we misunderstood!" The four monks here, who were aggressive and looked like they were going to fight, heard the monk speak, and the leader Brother Liao put away the murderous intent on his face and said with an apologetic look.

The three behind him also put away their weapons and bowed their heads slightly with apologetic expression.

"It's okay. But why is it like this now? Is there an invasion by foreign enemies?" Gu Zheng waved his hand, and then pointed to the protection outside and said.

"It's hard to explain, but since you are all here, then come back with us to see the master. And Junior Brother Qing, you should come back too. The other junior brothers have failed, and we are still worried about you, but you are back." Senior Brother Liao also sighed, and anyone can see the sorrow in his eyes.

"Thank you." Gu Zheng nodded and followed him to the Shahai City.

As soon as he entered the Shahai City, Gu Zheng could feel the panic emanating from the whole city. There were only a few people scattered on the whole wide street, and they were in a hurry. Their eyes kept looking around, as if they were worried about something.

After passing through most of the city, it can be seen that there are still many people here, but now it looks depressed, and it feels like the whole city is about to be abandoned.

And their destination is the temple at the north end of the city, which is also the only temple here, and it occupies a huge area.

When Gu Zheng and his friends came back, there were many pilgrims coming in and out. Although they were much better than those outside, they were also panicked. It seems that they did not get spiritual comfort here.

Entering the temple, a faint scent of sandalwood filled my nose, and even many places were shrouded in layers of white mist. Apart from some drought-resistant trees, not even a single flower was seen.

However, on the eaves of the big trees, there were some colorful strips of cloth and large red lanterns hanging, which looked festive.

The entire temple has no buildings higher than three floors. They are all connected in a row, and most of the houses are built of rocks, which looks very simple.

They did not go ahead, but walked around from the side.

"Two donors, the conditions are a bit simple. I have informed the master in advance. Please wait for a moment."

Senior Brother Liao and the others separated when they entered this not-so-grand temple, and Senior Brother Liao led them to a side room and apologized to them.

"It's okay, we just wait here." Gu Zheng didn't mind these chairs that were a little peeling.

"Sir, I don't like this place at all. I feel upset here." Xiaoying, who was sitting aside, twisted her body and said to Gu Zheng.

"We don't plan to stay for a long time, just bear with it." Gu Zheng thought it was Xiaoying's physique that made her feel uncomfortable.

Even if this place is picking up leaks, it is also a place presided over by a high monk, so it naturally has a natural restraint on some ghosts and evil spirits.

"Okay, I really want to go back to the scroll." Xiaoying muttered in her mouth, still sitting on it steadily, but twisting from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.

Not long after waiting for a cup of tea, a very young man who seemed to be fighting with Gu Zheng walked in from outside wearing a red cassock.

"Master Wuxiang!" Gu Zheng stood up and said to him.

Although it was also the first time he saw Wuxiang, this mysterious aura seemed to be equal to his own cultivation, so he thought it was him.

"Thank you, benefactor. I don't know why you have gone to so much trouble to find me? You can also see that something has changed here. I can't get away now." The master Wuxiang put his hands together in front of his chest and said to Gu Zheng.

He could feel Gu Zheng's aura without coming in. Since the other party came here, he had something to do with him.

"Just call me Gu Zheng, this is my spiritual child Xiaoying." Gu Zheng first introduced himself, but he was a little embarrassed in his heart, because the other party didn't look like it was something that could be easily solved.

"It's not good, it's not good, Master. Junior Brother Qing who just came back suddenly went crazy, as if he was also possessed by evil spirits." At this moment, a terrified shout suddenly came from outside, running towards this side from far to near.

When the voice fell, an equally young monk came to the door of the house and looked inside breathlessly.

"Donor Gu has an urgent matter here. I will take my leave first and find you later." Master Wuxiang's face changed, and he apologized slightly to Gu Zheng, then turned to the monk who just came and said.

"Qi Cha, you take the two donors to the back to rest first and treat them well."

"Yes, Master Wuxiang!" The monk Qi Cha nodded immediately.

Master Wuxiang left in a hurry, leaving Gu Zheng and the others.

"Two donors, please go to the back room to rest for a while, and Master Wuxiang will naturally notify you when he has time." Qi Cha walked up and said to Gu Zheng and the others.

"Please lead the way!" Gu Zheng nodded and said.

"By the way, why do you call him Master Wuxiang, while others call him Master!" Gu Zheng, who was silently rushing to the back halfway, suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.

"I am just an ordinary monk here, and those brothers are all disciples of Master Wuxiang, so of course the names are different." Qi Cha replied immediately after hearing it.

"Can you tell me what happened here? The surroundings are dressed up festively, but I found that everyone here looks sad. What happened?" Gu Zheng continued to ask.

"Everyone here knows about this matter, and it is even serious enough that they have begun to discuss everyone leaving here completely." Qi Cha thought about it and decided to tell it. Anyway, it is not a secret matter, and basically everyone knows it.

"Originally, a few months ago, we were preparing for the Buddha's Birthday Festival. Everything was no different from before. It was also a grand event here every ten years, but suddenly a lot of strange things happened. Some people disappeared for no reason. Later, even our brothers disappeared inexplicably, but even Master Wuxiang didn't know."

Qi Cha sighed and continued.

"Since then, people have been missing in the whole city. Almost every day, at least one person has disappeared, causing panic among the people. While Master Wuxiang is trying to find out the truth, he has also sent people to rescue people outside. As a result, the people who went out either died or were dragged back. Now some people have proposed to abandon this place completely."

"It's so serious that even Master Wuxiang can't find the truth. What kind of demon dares to make trouble here?" Gu Zheng was also very strange, and he muttered to himself. No wonder he looked like this when he came in. He was a little embarrassed.

"How about this, you bring me some basic scriptures tonight, and I will show them to my spiritual boy. What do you think?" Gu Zheng looked at the sky and decided to stay here for a few days to see if he needed anything. If he couldn't do it, he would ask directly.

"Of course it's okay for this little thing. It's right in front. Usually, many pilgrims stay here to help with the festival, but after these things happened, they have all gone home and it's quiet."

They have come to a row of houses next to each other. Gu Zheng, the leader of the tea party, came to a slightly larger room in front and then hurriedly left.

Although this room is small, it has two rooms inside and outside, which seems to be convenient for people to sleep separately, which is also thoughtful.

When the evening came, Qi Cha really brought some scriptures over, but there was no news about Master Wu Xiang, and it seemed that he was still treating people in the back.

After Gu Zheng thanked her, he began to let Xiao Ying read it carefully.

"I don't want to read it, these are so boring, and I feel annoyed when I read them." After only reading for half an hour, Xiao Ying threw the book aside and shouted loudly.

"Why can't I read it? These are just basic scriptures. Keep calm and read them slowly." Gu Zheng picked up the book and glanced at it. It was basically used to calm the mind and understand the basics of Buddhism.

"I don't want it, I want to sleep." Xiao Ying lay on the bed outside, buried her head in the brand new bedding, and said sullenly.

"Then you rest today and read it tomorrow." Seeing this, Gu Zheng thought about it and did not force her. After saying that, he went directly into the inner room and meditated to rest.

After a night of silence, Gu Zheng came out early the next morning, looked at Xiao Ying pretending to sleep on the bed, and put the book on the table again.

"Can I look at it later? There's no effect from looking at it these few days, and I don't understand anything." Xiaoying, who couldn't pretend anymore, raised her head and said pitifully.

"No, look at it now!" Gu Zheng said with a straight face, as if he wanted to show it to you even if you didn't want to.

Xiaoying had no choice but to float over with a sad face and sit on the only table where she found a chance again, looking at the spread out scriptures and yelling.

"I can't understand it at all!"

"If you can't understand it, I can teach you!"

Before Gu Zheng could speak, a clear voice came from outside, and then Wuxiang's figure pushed open the door and walked in.

"I've packed up my side, and I'll come to your side first." Wuxiang's face showed no sign of fatigue, and he still said to Gu Zheng with a smile.

"I don't know how, if I can help, please don't hesitate." Gu Zheng stood up to greet him.

"It's already healed, he just needs to rest for a few days. I saw you took a few scriptures yesterday, and it seems that you are interested in our Buddhists?" Wuxiang pointed to the scriptures on the table and smiled.

"My spirit boy has been a bit irritable these days. Let him read some scriptures to calm him down." Gu Zheng pointed at Xiaoying and said.

"I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn at all." Xiaoying shook her head and said, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"The little donor has excellent spirituality. I can tell at a glance that you have a connection with our Buddhist sect. Here is a string of Buddhist beads. Take it and everything will go smoothly for you." Wuxiang laughed and said like a peddler, and took out a string of jade-like Buddhist beads, which reflected green light and looked very beautiful.

Gu Zheng felt familiar when he heard such familiar words. He always felt that the Buddhist sect had a connection with everyone they saw.

"I don't want it, I don't want to learn it!" Xiaoying twisted her head even more and looked very resistant.

"Buddhist beads only have the effect of calming the mind. Don't worry, they won't hurt you!" How could Wuxiang not see Xiaoying's identity? He raised the Buddhist beads in his hand mainly to show Gu Zheng and let him rest assured.

After a short pause, Wuxiang threw the Buddhist beads in his hand forward and covered Xiaoying's head.

Seeing this, Xiaoying immediately flew from the bench to the side, trying to avoid the string of Buddhist beads.

But the Buddhist beads turned flexibly in the air, and Xiaoying's eyes blurred, and she felt a chill on her neck, and found that the string of Buddhist beads was already hanging on her neck.

The originally wide Buddhist beads also shrank accordingly, and in the blink of an eye, they were just right around her neck, making her look more beautiful and more dazzling.

"I don't want this thing, I don't want it!" Xiaoying grabbed both sides with both hands, trying to take it off again, but found that she couldn't take it off, as if she had been imprisoned on her neck.

The whole person ran towards Gu Zheng, shouting.

"Young Master, the other party is trying to catch me! Come and save me!"

Gu Zheng did not ask Xiaoying's shouting, but looked at Wuxiang in confusion, because the other party could not do this innocently.

At this time, Wuxiang's face was relieved, and his face was full of fatigue, which was completely different from the previous vigor.

At this moment, Xiaoying, who suddenly pounced on Gu Zheng in mid-air, suddenly stiffened, rolled her eyes, and fainted. The whole person's illusory appearance disappeared, and her true body was revealed again.

However, as the light flashed at the edge of the room, the ghost energy on Xiaoying did not radiate outward.

"Master Gu, please sit down and talk. You will know in a while. Don't worry, I will never hurt your spiritual child. It's just that when the other party came here, with her special physique, she was also invaded unknowingly." Wuxiang looked at Gu Zheng and said sincerely.

Gu Zheng nodded and walked a few steps to the side, but his eyes were fixed on him, fearing that he would take Xiaoying away.

Wuxiang stepped forward to Xiaoying's side, grabbed Xiaoying's arm with one hand, and stood up with one hand in front of him, and began to sue with a solemn face.

Golden Buddha patterns continued to spit out from him, slowly gathered together in front of him, and finally merged into a golden lotus.

He gently pushed the lotus, slowly flew to the top of Xiaoying's head, and then sank into it, and at the same time the green Buddha beads suddenly flashed.

The next moment, the golden lotus was once again released from Xiaoying's head, but the originally golden petals full of Buddha light were now stained by black mist.

Only a small part of the whole lotus remained in its original state, emitting an evil breath.

"I didn't expect that the other party had so much accumulated in her body. Fortunately, I was in time."

At this time, Wuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, let go of Xiaoying's body, and waved his hand to smash the lotus into pieces in the air.

"Your spirit child is a ghost spirit. When he came into this sea of ​​sand, he was already infected. I found out yesterday. If this continues, the other party will become a ghost-like existence. At that time, there will be no cure, so I made an ordinary Buddhist bead overnight to suppress the evil spirit in her body."

At this time, Wuxiang explained to Gu Zheng.
