Chapter 270 Iron Spear Temple on a Rainy Night

"Three thousand meritorious deeds.

The person in charge of the cross-domain teleportation array was a foundation-building monk. This person was the first foundation-building monk Chen Luo met after he came to this place. This man was wearing a loose gray robe, his hair was messy, and his eyes were a little hazy. It looked like he had just woken up from his sleep.

"I've already paid my dues before."

Chen Luo frowned. He had previously paid all the merits for the lurking mission and the auxiliary mission of killing the Blackstone Ancestor to the White Robe Peak Master, but now he was so poor that he didn't have a single merit point.

"Segmented pricing is a rule set by the sect, and I can't help it." The disciple in charge of the cross-domain teleportation array yawned, with a businesslike look on his face.

These few words were said for the sake of Chen Luo, a great monk in the Perfection Realm. If another Qi Refining Realm monk came over, he wouldn't even be able to get through the door.

Any large sect has complete rules and regulations.

This is especially true for the Qionghua sect.

It's not that these sects don't care about the world, but that they are so big that they must use these things to regulate the sect. When there are few people and the power is small, you can rely on family ties and friendships to maintain relationships. When it reaches a certain level, you must rely on systems to regulate it. Just like rebelling against thieves and building a country, when rebelling, they call themselves brothers and act based on their emotions. After the rebellion was successful, they were immediately divided into three, six, and nine grades, with military power assigned to them, and the country governed according to the law.

"Senior brother, if you have no meritorious deeds, you can choose to do tasks here first. There are many tasks in our Taisu Peak stronghold, and we need masters like senior brother."

The disciple took a task list from the side.

Earning merit by completing tasks is a process that all sect disciples must go through, and it is also the foundation of the sect system.

Chen Luo glanced at it and saw that there were many tasks above, most of which were in the Qi Refining Realm. There were also a few tasks in the Foundation Establishment Realm, but they were not easy to complete. There are secret realm explorations, hunting down powerful enemies, alchemy, weapon refining, spiritual material cultivation, etc.

The fastest task takes half a year and is very dangerous. Security missions have long time limits, generally three to five years.

"Is there any other way?"

"Then you can only fly by yourself. I have a map here that I can give to my senior brother for free." The disciple in charge of the teleportation array took out a jade slip and gave it to Chen Luo.

It's not a precious thing. Content that can be copied infinitely is best used as a favor.

"Thanks."

Chen Luo took the jade slip, read the contents and turned around to leave the hall.

First check to see if there are any valuable brains nearby.

It is impossible to do the task without doing the task.

Coming to Tiannan Territory, for Chen Luo, his goal has been achieved. It would be best if the Qionghua Sect could go, but it wouldn't hurt if they couldn't go. From the very beginning, he never thought about qualifying within the rules set by the other party. The more mature the power, the more difficult it is to endure the qualifications.

He had never done a few tasks in Shenhu Xianmen, so how could he lose his principles here.

After staying at the stronghold for half a month, Chen Luo used this half month to learn some common sense about Tiannan Territory.

Cultivation techniques are not valuable in Tiannan Territory, what is valuable are resources. What's more, there is no cemetery here that he cares about, and the corpse of the Danjie monk is just as valuable here. There is an ancestral tomb within the Qionghua Sect. With his current strength, it is basically impossible to go in and dig the grave.

After figuring out the differences in these details, Chen Luo left the Qionghua faction's stronghold that day and chose the second cheaper route. He could also do some business with casual cultivators on the way and maybe pick up some leaks. After all, he picked up some Things are different from others.

Heavy rain, lightning and thunder.

A group of people wearing raincoats were rushing in the rain. More than 20 people were pushing the carriage behind them. The strong man in front was holding the reins to prevent the horses from being frightened.

The wooden wheels made a "crunching" sound as they traveled. The heavy wooden wheels pressed across the path, bringing up turbid muddy water and leaving a deep ravine. The other people's feet were all stuck in the mud, and the mud and water flooded their ankles, making every step difficult.

"Brothers, work harder! You can't stop here."

The leading escort stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face and encouraged the brother behind him.

"After ten miles of slope, I'll treat all the brothers to a drink!"

Several bodyguards at the back pushed the carriage with all their strength, while a dozen people in front pulled out ropes and ran to the front to pull.

"Push hard! One or two"

"What's in this box? Why is it so heavy!"

"It's a damn rainy day."

The horses struggled to move forward through the mud, making a "hugging" sound from their mouths, white air spurting out from their nostrils, and their four legs were stuck in the mud.

Seeing this, the chief escort turned over and dismounted. A layer of blood flowed out, and the muscles in his hands bulged. He grabbed the wheel that was stuck in the mud with one hand, and he shouted loudly. ,

"rise!"

The carriage that more than twenty people could not push was actually pulled up by him alone.

"Walk!"

After passing this hurdle, the chief escort quickly got on his horse, and everyone did not dare to delay, and continued to move forward despite the heavy rain.

After walking for a while, the rain became lighter, but it still didn't stop.

It started to fog in the mountains.

Everyone hurried on without anyone speaking.

"Boss Shen, something is wrong."

After walking for a while, the skinny Taoist following the car suddenly spoke.

"There is evil spirit!"

After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.

They hurried on in the rain in order to avoid the monster on the ten-mile slope. Unexpectedly, they hurried slowly and ran into it.

"Can you sense the direction?"

Chief Shen asked in a deep voice.

This skinny Taoist priest was a cultivator hired by the escort agency at a high price, so what he said must be true.

"The rain is full of demonic energy, and I feel that there are dangers everywhere. I suggest you find a safe place to hide first and wait until the rain stops before leaving, so that you can avoid the rain and the big demons."

Take money from others and help them eliminate disasters.

The skinny Taoist priest is very dedicated and his words are very pertinent.

"There is an Iron Spear Temple ahead, we can go there to take shelter from the rain."

An older escort in the team said, he didn't know how many times he had walked this road, so he naturally remembered the rest point on the way.

"Then let's go to the Iron Spear Temple!"

As the backbone of the team, the more this time, the more you can't mess up.

Shen Biaotou pulled the horse and took the lead to walk towards the Iron Spear Temple. The people behind hurriedly pulled the escort car and followed closely.

After a cup of tea, everyone saw a building in the rain. On a dark rainy night, the Iron Spear Temple was like a monster crouching in the rain. Without lights, it gave people a chilling feeling.

"Master, is there any evil spirit over there?"

"I can't sense it. There is evil spirit all over the mountains and plains. It's the same everywhere."

The dry old Taoist couldn't tell clearly, and his uneasiness became more serious.

But when the time comes, it's useless to be afraid.

The group soon arrived at the entrance of the Iron Spear Temple, which is an old building similar to a mountain temple. There are blue tiles and white walls, and a square gate in front. The gate with peeling paint creaks in the rain and wind.

The rain falls on the roof and drips along the tiles, forming a row of rain curtains.

"Everyone, be careful."

Shen Biaotou drew out his weapon, took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to push the half-open gate.

Clang!

This seemingly solid gate fell down as soon as he touched it, and the door panel hit the rain, splashing a large piece of water. Before Shen Biaotou's feet touched the ground inside, a cold wind suddenly blew out from inside, and a group of black bats flew out of the Iron Spear Temple.

"Disperse!"

The dry Taoist priest accompanying the escort agency immediately raised his hand, and a layer of white light emerged from the tips of his two fingers, dispersing the bats.

Several good players of the escort agency quickly retreated, and each of them drew out their sabers to form a circular defense. The others behind them also stood in position to protect the darts.

"It's just an ordinary bat."

Shen Biaotou put away his weapon and walked in on the collapsed door.

This rainy night is really not suitable for traveling. Now that the monsters cannot be found, they can only find a place to hide from the rain and find a way out when it is safe.

A group of people walked into the Iron Spear Temple. Two escorts were left under the eaves at the door to take care of the escort car.

The Iron Spear Temple was larger than expected. When several people came in, they found that there was a statue enshrined inside, a small god wearing armor and holding an iron spear. Everyone was not a believer, and they couldn't recognize who the enshrined small god was.

"Who?!"

Before they could observe further, the skinny Taoist suddenly turned his head and looked at the other side of the Iron Spear Temple.

Several escorts quickly took out the oilcloth-wrapped fire starter and lit it.

As soon as the light appeared, it instantly illuminated the scene inside the Iron Spear Temple. Under the light of the fire, everyone found a person sitting in the corner of the Iron Spear Temple. This person was wearing a green robe, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Like a sculpture, the light of the torch shone on his face and reflected clear edges and corners. If it weren't for the skinny Taoist's words, everyone would not have noticed that there was another person here.

"My friend, it's hard to walk in the rain, so I'll stay here for one night. If I disturb you, please forgive me."

"Please."

The man in green opened his eyes, looked at the few people strangely, and then closed his eyes and ignored them.

Seeing that the man in green spoke human words, everyone was relieved.

The most feared thing when walking at night is to encounter monsters. That kind of thing can't be provoked, and people will die if they encounter it. It is the most feared thing for escorts.

"Be careful, this guy is weird."

The skinny Taoist lowered his voice to remind him.

Shen Biaotou nodded. They were all old escorts, so they naturally knew the rules when they were out. The group chose a place far away from the green-clothed man and started to make a fire to drive away the cold. After traveling for such a long time in the rain, their clothes were already soaked. Some people took out the dry food wrapped in their clothes and ate it.

The group worked together and soon lit the fire. Under the light of the fire, the cold was instantly dispelled. Several escorts took off their outer clothes and hung them on the side to dry. Two others took out iron basins and boiled water on the fire.

"Master, can you still sense the evil spirit now?"

Shen Biaotou and the skinny old Taoist also sat on the side and took off their coats.

"It's still there. It hasn't dissipated. I suspect"

"Ah!!"

Before the two finished speaking, they heard two screams from outside the house.

It was the brothers guarding the escort outside! (End of this chapter)
