"This is the place. Strange, why is there no one here?”The hippo Han Yu searched the village for a long time, but he couldn't even find a ghost.
"No, it's too quiet here." Hong raised her eyebrows and muttered.
"Oh no, we've been hit by an illusion." Hippo Hanyu and Red said in unison. To be able to make Zilai Ye, Red and Hippo Hanyu fall into an illusion at the same time, such a person was really too terrifying.
"Untie it!" Hippo Hanyu gathered all the chakras on his body and shouted.
With Hippo Hanyu's strength, he could even undo the illusion cast by the Sunset Guard. However, there was no change at all. Wasn't the strength of the person who cast the illusion too high? Even the third generation would not be his match.
"Don't waste your energy, Han Yu. This isn't an illusion.”Zi Lai also explained. Seeing his calm expression, it seemed that he had already foreseen this situation.
"Not an illusion?" Hippo Han Yu was puzzled.
" I'm not sure if you've heard of the holy master profession. The holy master and the Yin Yang master are the two oldest professions in this world. It's said that the holy master can communicate with the gods, while the Yin Yang master can control ghosts and shikigami. They were once very noble and powerful existences, but to become one of these two professions, the requirements for talent are very high, so they gradually declined.”
"As far as I know, there's a real holy master in the Calm Abyss Shrine in the Thunder Country. Even Thunder Shadow is polite to him.”
"Are you trying to say that we've been hit by a divine spell?”Hippo Hanyu laughed. It seemed that his luck was not just a little bit good! He could even meet such a legendary figure.
"Do you have a way?" Seeing the strange expression on Hippo Hanyu's face, Zi Lai also probed.
"Maybe!" Hippo Hanyu thought to himself. He never thought that he would really need this technique one day!
The hippo Han Yu took out a blank scroll and drew strange symbols on it. It took him a long time to finish it, and he recited a strange sentence,""Ah-ga-mi-la-da-ta.”
The scroll actually emitted a dazzling white light that swept across the surroundings. The scene in front of him also changed. Just as victory was in sight, Hippo Han Yu felt a powerful sense of oppression enveloping his body, causing him to feel dizzy.
"What powerful spiritual power!" The hippo Hanyu sighed, and a competitive spirit rose in his heart. After all, after resting for two years, it was a great honor to be able to meet such a powerful opponent.
" Hanyu-" Hong called out worriedly when she saw the hippo Hanyu's face suddenly turn red and white.
"Don't go over." Zi Lai also stopped Hong, who was about to walk over, and said in a deep voice,"He used a forbidden technique of the Yin-Yang Art. The battle between the two of them is a battle of the soul, and it's not something we can stop.”
"Yin Yang Art?" Hong and Asima looked at each other. They both thought of their first client, An Beiyuan, who was on their first mission. That knowledgeable and funny old man was also a declining Yin-Yang Master.
"Interesting. I didn't expect to see such a powerful Yin-Yang Art here again.”An old voice echoed throughout the entire space, making it impossible for anyone to identify the source of the voice.
"Is that so? I also want to know how strong I am.”Hippo Hanyu's expression gradually returned to normal. After all, this was the first time he used the Yin-Yang Art in battle, so he did not control it very well at the beginning. He wasted a lot of spiritual power. After adapting, he did not look as miserable as he did earlier.
"Arrogant brat, didn't your teacher, An Baiyuan, tell you to avoid meeting the Dao God of Hidden Temple?”
Feeling the pressure increase again, the hippo Hanyu tried his best to exert his mental power." I'm not Old Master An Bei's disciple. Besides, why should I avoid you? Are you ugly and worried about destroying the environment?”
When Zilai heard the name of the Hidden Temple's Dao God, he revealed an expression that said it was indeed him. However, when he heard the reply of Hippo Hanyu, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
" Good boy!" the old voice shouted. Just as Zi Lai Ye was guarding against the attack of the Taoist God of Hidden Temple, the surrounding environment suddenly changed. Everything in front of them finally returned to normal. Only then did the four of them see that they were actually surrounded by the enemy.
In front of them was a lonely wooden house. Although this wooden house was nothing special compared to the other wooden houses, it was mysterious.
"It's not bad that you've made it this far.”It was still the voice of the Hidden Temple's Daoist Deity. Although the voice still sounded from all directions, there was a strong feeling in their minds that the Hidden Temple's Daoist Deity was in the wooden house opposite.
" Caw!" The door that seemed to have not been opened for hundreds of years opened. A ray of sunlight shone in, and an old and skinny man sat cross-legged silently under the sunlight.
Legend had it that the Taoist deity of Hidden Light Temple was blind. After the door opened, Zi Lai Ye looked at the old man's eyes. As expected, the old man's eyes were tightly shut and deeply sunken. They looked like two empty holes, which was quite terrifying.
"Young man, it's rude to stare at a disabled old man.”Although the Taoist God of Hidden Light Temple was blind, he had a heart that could see through people's hearts. He quickly sensed what was going on in Zilaiya's heart.
Zilai's face turned red. He was already in his thirties, yet he was actually called a young man. He was really embarrassed! (Shy ~~~)
The Taoist Deity of Hidden Temple twisted his neck, making people who saw it worry that his head might accidentally fall off. His gaze finally stopped on Zilai Ye. At least Zilai Ye felt like he was being stared at.
" A wastrel who carries heavy emotions, bears responsibilities alone in the midst of playing, encounters fated angels and demons, and searches for true hope.”The Taoist priest of the Hidden Light Temple thought of the inexplicable sentence. Only two people present vaguely understood what the old man meant.
Zi Lai Ye's face was filled with astonishment. Why did this old man's words sound so similar to what Immortal Toad had told him back then! Was this true? Zilai also felt a heavy feeling of being suppressed by fate, and his eyes were a little confused.
The voice of the Hidden Light Temple's Daoist Deity seemed to have a kind of bewitching power, causing everyone present to fall into a state of chaos. The only sober person, Hippo Hanyu, looked on coldly. He did not go to remind Zi Lai Ye because he felt that the Hidden Light Temple's Daoist Deity had no ill intentions. Moreover, he seemed to have something to say to him.
Hippo Hanyu's eyes lit up. He found himself in the vast universe. The stars in the distance flickered. A moment later, a young and handsome man appeared in front of him.
"Are you the Dao God of Hidden Temple?" The hippo Hanyu asked tentatively. He found it difficult to connect the young man in front of him with the old man who looked like a dead tree.
"How sad! The unexpected intruder struggled in the shackles. The test of blood and fire, the will, burned in the leaves of wood.”The handsome young man murmured, completely ignoring the reaction of the hippo Hanyu." Grasping power, walking in the dark. Feelings, floating in loneliness, breaking through the darkness, guiding new hope.”
"Hey, what do you mean?”When he realized that the handsome young man was talking about him, the hippo Hanyu was also confused and did not understand. Looking at the gradually fading back, the hippo Hanyu felt as if someone had slapped him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
After the young man disappeared, the hippo Han Yu quickly left that strange place and returned to the small village.
"Uncle Selaiya, Hong, Asma, are you alright?”Hippo Han Yu, who was the first to regain consciousness, immediately called out.
"I'm fine." Zi Lai also quickly regained consciousness." Hurry up and save the others before they wake up.”
After Zilai Ye's reminder, the hippo Hanyu finally remembered their important mission. However, he felt like he had lost all his strength and was feeling empty. He could only ask Asma and Red to search for the emissary sent by the Wind Country.
" Teacher-" A man and a woman surrounded the Taoist God of Hidden Temple and cried bitterly. They were the two people that Hippo Hanyu had seen that day. The man was called Jian Ci, and the woman should be called Zao Le! Seeing how the two of them were so afraid of the old man the other day, he thought that their relationship was not that good. However, from the looks of it now, their sorrowful expressions were definitely not faked.
Zi Lai Ye and the others, who were hiding somewhere, looked at the scene in the wooden house and felt very emotional. Such a powerful figure had actually died just like that.
Of course, the hippo Hanyu would not be so arrogant as to think that he was the one who killed the Hidden Light Temple's Daoist Deity. That was because the Daoist Deity had died peacefully with a faint smile on his face. The hippo Hanyu could not understand this old man. He could not understand why he would appear in a place like this since he was a respected holy master. He clearly had the ability to kill the four of them, so why would he let them go and even create an opportunity to save them?
What puzzled Hippo Hanyu the most was whether the young man was the Dao God of Hidden Temple and what he meant by those strange words.
This doubt made his mood particularly heavy, and he did not have the slightest joy of completing the mission.
Zi Lai Ye carried the unconscious envoy and looked at the hippo Hanyu.""Let's go!"
