Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1556 The Untamed 36

The dilapidated temple that Wei Ying found was not very close to the cave where they were resting temporarily. On the way, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but scold Wei Ying. Wei Ying knew that Jiang Cheng was worried about his safety, so he could only bite the bullet and give in: "Okay, okay, Cheng, I know I was wrong, and I will never do this again in the future."

When he saw Lan Zhan's slightly raised mouth, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help muttering: "A Cheng, look, Lan Zhan is laughing at me——"

Lan Zhan gave Wei Ying a serious look that said "You are so childish and you are still complaining", which made Jiang Cheng couldn't help laughing.

After walking and chatting for nearly two hours, they finally found the dilapidated temple that Wei Ying had discovered.

The original lamp tower and archway had collapsed to the ground, but the blue-white color had been stained by resentment and hostility and turned into gray-black, giving off a chilly feeling at first glance.

The dilapidated gate was even more crooked, it might as well have fallen down. This shaky feeling was the most distressing.

As for the inside, there were no weeds, only a pile of black and gray stuff left after being infected by resentment and hostility.

Just as Wei Ying said, it seemed as if something powerful was suppressed in the main hall. As soon as one entered the confines of this dilapidated temple, the resentment and hostility seemed to be solidified, and not even the wind could blow in.

The three of them stood in the open space in front of the Main Hall and looked around. Almost all the walls had collapsed to the ground. The situation of the rear hall was not clear for the time being, but this main hall seemed a little too neat.

Jiang Cheng frowned and said, "Apart from being stained with resentment and hostility and becoming a dark color, there seems to be no other problems with this hall. Even the tiles on the roof are neat and tidy. This is not normal."

Wei Ying also just noticed these little details, and couldn't help but shudder all over. He said with some fear: "When I came here, I just felt a chill on my back, and I didn't feel very comfortable, so I didn't dare to go in alone to investigate the situation. I went back to find you two first."

Lan Zhan stood half a step in front of Jiang Cheng, intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was afraid that Jiang Cheng would walk in directly, and quickly reminded him: "Let's take out some talismans to strengthen our protection first, and then go in to investigate."

The three of them quickly checked their storage bags. In such a dangerous place, one cannot be too careful.

Jiang Cheng was just as Lan Zhan guessed. He packed up and walked in front. He also reminded everyone, "We must move quickly. When the sun sets, the strong Yin energy will be very unfavorable to us."

Everyone understands the truth, so everyone is worried.

But there was nothing in the main hall, no shrines, no Buddha statues, nothing at all, just an empty room!

Wei Ying looked at the compass in his hand with the needle spinning wildly, and he didn't know what to say. Even though this was an extremely dangerous place early in the morning, he was really a little scared seeing the movement of the compass!

Jiang Cheng looked around, but didn't move his feet easily, for fear of triggering the underground mechanism. In a place like this, it was obviously impossible to act separately, but some of the mechanisms were designed to separate people and then defeat them one by one.

In order to liven up the atmosphere, Wei Ying proposed an opinion that was opposite to Jiang Cheng's: "But if we don't trigger the mechanism, how can we have clues to find what we want?"

Lan Zhan ignored the bickering between Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying and just kept staring at Jiang Cheng. No matter what, he was determined not to act separately from Jiang Cheng.

Changing the angle and taking out a few more night-shining pearls for illumination, Jiang Cheng finally discovered something was wrong on the ground. "Look—"

Jiang Cheng pointed to where the shrine and the Buddha statue should be placed. "The color of the bluestone over there is a little darker than other places. It looks more like there is dust in other places, but that place is clean, with only the dark color infected by resentment and hostility."

Wei Ying stretched his neck to take a look, then whipped out his whip and swung it, "No matter what's underneath, let's just whip it to test it out—"

Jiang Cheng quickly pulled Lan Zhan back a little. Looking at Wei Ying's evil and crazy expression, he knew that he would not just crack a whip to test him. He had to be on guard against flying gravel and dust.

Lan Zhan didn’t quite understand why Jiang Cheng reacted so strongly, but he really liked the way Jiang Cheng held his wrist, so he obediently took a few steps back.

The next moment, a loud sound of cracking rocks was heard. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was prepared in advance, otherwise his ears would have suffered.

When the smoke and dust cleared, there was indeed a hole underneath, and there was something inside. When the three of them got closer, they saw that it was a black but high-quality coffin.

Wei Ying crossed his arms and pinched his chin, expressing his confusion: "This place is almost where the incense table and the Buddha statue are. How can you dig a hole here and put a coffin in it?"

Jiang Cheng felt that things were not going well, so he called Wei Ying and said, "Let's use the whip to bring this coffin up and have a look. We have to hurry up."

Without further ado, Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying worked together to pull up the coffin underneath, and the three of them gathered together to carefully observe the relief on it.

At a glance, Wei Ying couldn't help but be shocked: "There are some patterns on it, exactly the same as the patterns on Yin Iron!"

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Then just open it and take a look."

To open the coffin, of course, they had to take adequate precautions. The three of them worked together to quickly set up a simple formation to prevent the things inside from escaping, and then they drew their swords and chopped open the coffin lid.

But in such a solemn coffin, there was only a black iron flute!

As soon as the iron flute appeared, the resentment and hostility around seemed to dissipate a lot, and the surrounding environment became quieter.

Calculating the time, Jiang Cheng reached out and grabbed the iron flute, and took it out. "It's getting late, we have to find a safe place to spend the night, otherwise it will be dangerous!"

Lan Zhan was frightened by Jiang Cheng's action and hurried to stop him, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. He had to snatch the iron flute from Jiang Cheng and keep it for himself, then walked out first.

Jiang Cheng and Wei Ying only had time to look at each other before they hurriedly followed. The moment they walked out of the temple, the only main hall still standing suddenly collapsed, raising a cloud of gray-black dust. The resentment and hostility in the surroundings seemed to have finally been released, and cold winds began to blow here, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling began to be heard.

It was obviously too late to go back to the cave. Jiang Cheng still remembered seeing a fallen tree on the way. The tree was so big that three people couldn't hug it together. They could hollow out the trunk to rest for a night.

Lan Zhan suggested a better option: "There is a stone cliff not far from the tree. We can go down the cliff and take a look."
