Jiang Dao narrowed his eyes. He instantly understood what was going on after hearing Lyu An's explanation.
"Since you knew that they were already abnormal, why didn't you report it to the headquarters?”
he asked.
"At that time, this lowly one did not know that something would happen to them. Moreover, they were all deacons. This lowly one was just a small steward. How could this lowly one dare to report them? The little ones only thought that this was their interest.”
Lu An said with a terrified expression.
"After they disappeared, did anyone else do the same?”
Jiang Dao asked.
"Yes, there are two more people in the gang who have become abnormal. They have also started chanting scriptures every night and are unwilling to go out. They lock themselves in their rooms and eat and go out every day.”
Lu An hurriedly said.
"Where are they now?"
Jiang Dao asked.
"In the room!"
Lu An replied.
"Bring me there!"
Jiang Dao said.
"Hall Master, please follow me!"
Lyu An hurriedly led Jiang Dao into the courtyard.
Hu Biao and Fan Hu frowned and looked at each other. They finally got off their horses and led the group to follow.
They passed through the corridor and went deeper.
In the large courtyard, many places had already been lit in advance.
Even so, many areas were still gloomy and eerie, with a hint of coldness.
"Mokchi, Mokchi, Arosa, Lothar…"
A series of unknown and evil syllables suddenly came from the courtyard in front of them. It was alluring and entered their minds, causing their minds to instantly surge and a sense of emptiness to appear.
Jiang Dao's eyes narrowed as he listened for a moment before striding forward.
Finally, they arrived at a courtyard.
There were originally five rooms in the courtyard, but only two were still occupied. The other three rooms were all empty.
Lu Fang was worried that this strange chanting sound would be contagious, so when the two people showed symptoms, he immediately transferred all the people in the courtyard away, leaving only this courtyard for them to use.
"Hall Master, it's those two rooms!”
Lu An pointed forward in fear.
It could be clearly seen that the five rooms here were all pitch-black. The windows and doors were tightly shut, but there were only two places where the sound of chanting could be heard. It was blurry and mysterious.
"They don't light up at night?"
Jiang Dao asked.
"No. Even during the day, the windows are locked, so there's no sun.”
said Lu An.
"How can they see the scriptures without lights at night?”
Fan Hu frowned.
"This lowly one isn't sure either."
said Lu An.
Jiang Dao suddenly turned around and glanced at Hu Biao and Fan Hu." Do you two want to go and take a look?"”
"Pavilion Master Jiang, please come first. We'll support you from the side.”
Fan Hu laughed.
Jiang Dao snorted in his heart and looked at the two rooms in front of him again.”
Lu An immediately called a group of people and started to knock on the door.
Relying on the support of the hall master, this group of people immediately raised their thick doorposts and slammed into the two doors with all their might.
Bang bang bang!
A series of muffled sounds rang out.
At this moment, the two thin doors seemed to be blocked by a huge mountain from the inside. Four or five men slammed into them together, but they still did not move.
The chanting inside was not chaotic at all and continued to ring out continuously.
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Dao's eyes darkened as he strode forward.
The group of men hurriedly lifted the doorpost and quickly retreated.
Boom!
Jiang Dao kicked out with great force. It was like a copper pillar crashing into the wooden door. The wooden door exploded on the spot, shattering into pieces and sending wood shavings flying.
A pungent stench instantly filled the room, making people's noses sting and tears flow.
Many men almost vomited.
The smell was like dozens of corpses piled up together, rotting and smelly.
Jiang Dao held his breath and looked inside.
Lyu An covered his mouth and nose, and ordered his men to quickly raise a torch and shine it into the pitch-black room.
The room wasn't big, and it was gloomy and dark. It was lit up by the torch bit by bit.
The walls were filled with strange scribbles.
The table was in a mess.
The ground was covered with white paper shreds.
Black blood stains could be seen in the shadows, as well as a lot of food residue.
In the southeast corner, a stone statue of Buddha about a foot tall stood quietly. This Buddha statue looked extremely demonic. It did not have the compassion of ordinary Buddha statues, but had a kind of evil charm.
A sect member in black clothes had his back to the crowd and was facing the Buddha statue.
His chanting was still going on, but when the wooden door was kicked open, all the sounds stopped.
Jiang Dao sized up the gang member who had his back to them. He walked over and stood behind the gang member, looking down at him.
"Why aren't you chanting anymore?"
His voice was cold.
The sect member remained motionless, as if he had not heard anything.
Jiang Dao reached out his hand and gently grabbed his shoulder, but his face darkened the moment his hand touched it.
With a puchi sound, the person in front of him instantly lost his breath and fell to the side.
All that was left was a piece of human skin!
The flesh and bones inside had all disappeared.
There were many maggots squirming inside the skin. It was white and gave off a foul smell. It was extremely disgusting.
Lu An, who was standing at the side, hurriedly covered his mouth, and he almost vomited again.
"Dead."
Jiang Dao threw the human skin aside and waved his hand. He looked around the room and said in a low voice," Why don't you guys go to the other room and check on the other person?"”
"Alright!"
Hu Biao and Fan Hu both nodded and walked out of the room.
Jiang Dao looked around and his eyes suddenly fell on the stone statue of Buddha. He frowned slightly and reached out his hand to grab the statue and observe it.
Suddenly, his eyes focused and he noticed two small words at the bottom of the Buddha statue.
Xiao Shi!
"Where did this Buddha statue come from? Is there a temple nearby?"
Jiang Dao asked.
Lu An covered his mouth and nose and quickly replied," There seems to be an ancient temple, but there are very few monks in the temple. The incense offerings are almost cut off. It's twenty miles east of Bluestone Town. It's called Little Stone Temple.”
"Little Stone Temple?"
Jiang Dao looked at the two words at the base of the Buddha statue and said," This thing flowed out of the small stone temple?”
"This subordinate doesn't know either."
said Lu An.
Jiang Dao grabbed the Buddha statue, turned around, and walked toward another room.
The chanting in another room suddenly stopped. A stench filled the air and torches flickered. A group of people quickly searched inside.
Not long after, Hu Biao and Fan Hu walked out with a similar Buddha statue in their hands.
"Are there such things in the rooms of the other missing people?”
Hu Biao asked hoarsely.
"Hall Master, there is absolutely no such thing!"
said Lu An.
"No? Could it be that this thing would disappear after the incident?”
Hu Biao frowned and asked," Is there a temple nearby?”
Lu An hurriedly repeated what he had just said.
"Pavilion Master Jiang, it seems like the matter hasn't been resolved yet. Why don't we go to the Small Stone Temple to take a look?”
Fan Hu squeezed out a faint smile and looked at Jiang Dao.
Jiang Dao turned around and shook his neck. He looked at the two of them and said," Alright, let's go!”
He took the stone Buddha in his hand and walked out.
Hu Biao and Fan Hu's hearts tightened, and they looked at each other again.
There seemed to be something wrong with Jiang Dao's gaze just now.
"What's there to be afraid of? He's just a little kid who isn't even twenty years old. Even if he started practicing martial arts in his mother's womb, how strong would he be?”
Hu Biao thought.
The two of them led their men and followed Jiang Dao.
The group of people mounted their horses and rushed towards the small stone temple overnight.
It was late at night.
The moon rises above the willow branches.
The surrounding forest rustled.
Halfway there, Hu Biao's eyes were dark and malicious. He signaled Fan Hu and slowly took out a black porcelain bottle from his bosom. He pulled out the lid and a strange fragrance spread with the wind, blowing forward.
At the same time, a red pill was silently swallowed by the two of them, and they signaled the people behind them to hold their breaths.
Ang!
Suddenly, a horse neighed in pain.
Without exception, the horses that everyone rode fell to the ground at the same time. Their limbs twitched and they were foaming at the mouth. They died tragically.
Jiang Dao leaped off the horse and landed steadily.
He shook his head slightly, feeling a little dizzy and unable to breathe.
"Pavilion Master Jiang, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
Hu Biao let out a hoarse laugh.
Jiang Dao's eyes turned cold as he turned around.
"You poisoned me?"
Hu Biao and Fan Hu both had smiles on their faces as they chuckled.
The people behind him also covered their mouths and noses and stared at Jiang Dao without moving.
"Pavilion Master Jiang, you can die in peace. This place has beautiful scenery and is perfect for burying your bones. Even an elephant will die obediently after being poisoned by the Golden Wave Poisonous Mist.”
Hu Biao laughed in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Dao's eyes were terrifying, shining brightly under the moonlight. His entire body emitted a formless and terrifying aura.
"Is that so? Did the Left Protector ask you to do it?"
"Why is a dead man asking so many questions? We'll tell you after you die!”
Hu Biao laughed.
"In that case, you can die first.”
