Sure enough, when the black wind rushed over, a golden light stopped it.
"Amitabha!
Benefactor, don't kill anymore! "
The golden light turned into a golden monk's shadow and blocked the black gas.
"You bald donkey!
You know that I'm going to break out of the seal tonight but you still don't leave! "
Looking at the monk's shadow, the black gas was flustered and exasperated.
"The disaster started because of me. Although I can't eliminate it, I can't retreat either." The monk put his palms together and said calmly.
"Good, good, good!
Wait until I break out of this damn formation!
I'll kill you first! "
After the black gas finished speaking, it turned into a black light and rushed into the base of the Buddha statue in the hall and disappeared.
Seeing the black gas disappear, the monk turned around and looked at Xu Yan and the rest.
"Benefactors, I'm sorry. In order to avoid getting you into trouble, I had no choice but to pretend to be a ghost to scare you away."
Looking at the monk's transparent body, Li Shuo and the rest were so scared that they didn't dare to move.
Seeing this, Xu Yan took a step forward and said to the monk, "Master, what was that black gas?"
The monk glanced at Xu Yan and said with a smile, "I don't deserve the title of Master. I'm just a small acolyte of the Wanfo Temple. As for the black gas, it's a long story."
"Would the four of you like to listen to it together?" The monk looked at Li Shuo and the rest.
Seeing that the monk could be communicated with, the fear in their hearts was reduced. However, they didn't want to listen to the story. They just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Li Shuo braced himself and said, "Master, please forgive us. The four of us just want to leave this place as soon as possible. Please grant us our wish!"
Hearing this, Xu Yan couldn't help but laugh, "You still want to leave?
Look outside the door! "
Hearing this, the four of them were shocked. They hurriedly turned to look outside the door and saw that the sun had already set. Moreover, the outside of the hall had been tightly surrounded by Buddha statues.
In the day, the Buddha statue had been calm and peaceful. But now, it looked like an evil spirit. Its eyes were glowing red, and its body was emitting a black aura. Just looking at it was enough to make one tremble!
"Benefactor Xu is right. After the sun sets, the Buddha statues will be contaminated by the black gas. Under such circumstances, even if I were to use all my strength, it would be impossible for me to escort you out of this place with so many evil Buddha statues around," the monk said with a helpless smile.
"Ah!
That means we're going to die tonight! "
Wan Meng Fei couldn't believe it. She was still so young and good-looking. How could she die so easily?
"No!
Benefactors, there is still a chance for you to survive tonight, "the monk said.
"Master, what's the method?
Please save us, Grandmaster!
We are still young, we don't want to die! "Wan Meng Fei ran to the monk and pleaded.
The monk calmly looked at Wan Meng Fei and said, "The method is actually very simple. When the demon breaks through the seal, it needs to gather large amounts of black gas. To gather large amounts of black gas, it needs to be extracted from the evil Buddha statues outside. This is when the evil Buddha statues outside are at their weakest!"
"Taking advantage of this time, I'll sit here and use the scriptures to suppress the evil Buddha statues outside. The evil Buddha statues' strength will be reduced to a very low level. Although it's still not something an ordinary person can deal with, it shouldn't be difficult for Benefactor Xu who has cultivated his inner strength and reached the Connate realm, right?"
The monk smiled at Xu Yan. When the other four heard this, they were taken aback as they looked at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan smiled and didn't retort.
Upon seeing this, the four of them were overjoyed!
Xu Yan didn't retort, which meant that what the monk said was true!
They were saved.
They never expected Xu Yan to be a hidden martial arts expert!
"Benefactor Xu, are you willing to cooperate with me when the time comes?" the monk asked.
"Of course!" Xu Yan said.
"With Benefactor Xu around, the probability of everyone leaving safely should be 80%!
Benefactors can rest assured now, right? "the monk said with a smile.
"Thank you, Master!
Thank you, Brother Xu! "The four of them hurriedly thanked him.
"I have a question that I would like Master to answer," Xu Yan suddenly said to the monk.
"Benefactor Xu, please speak your mind," the monk said.
"I heard Master say that the disaster here was caused by you and that the Myriad Buddha Temple had been abandoned hundreds of years ago. May I ask how long Master has been here?
As far as I know, even a martial artist can't live for so long. "
Xu Yan looked straight at the monk as he spoke.
Upon hearing Xu Yan's words, the other four were shocked!
That's right!
They didn't even know who the monk was, so how could they believe him so easily?
Seeing Xu Yan's doubts, the monk said with a wry smile, "The disaster here was indeed caused by me and I have lived for more than 400 years!
However, the reason why I can live for so long is mainly because of the Great Demon Sealing Array here. "
"Originally, I was already dead and my body was torn to pieces by the great demon sealed in the array. However, by chance, my soul didn't dissipate. Instead, it merged with the Great Demon Sealing Array and became the array spirit of the Great Demon Sealing Array."
"As long as the Great Demon Sealing Array isn't broken, I won't die. That's why I'm still alive today."
After hearing the monk's words, Xu Yan was surprised. He didn't expect there to be such a thing in the world!
There was actually an array in the world and an array spirit!
However, thinking about it, there were even strange martial arts in the world. It wasn't strange for an array spirit to appear.
"I see. I was rude just now. I hope Master won't blame me," Xu Yan cupped his fists and said.
The monk waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it to heart.
"This poor monk's condition is a little strange. It is reasonable for Benefactor Xu to have doubts," the monk continued, "If Benefactor Xu has any doubts, you can say them all."
"I do have a presumptuous request," Xu Yan said as he took out the broken finger of the Buddha statue.
"May I ask if Master knows that this broken finger came from the Buddha statue in Myriad Buddha Temple?"
The monk focused his eyes and immediately revealed a strange expression. He pointed at the Buddha statue behind him and said, "Benefactor Xu, are you looking for this Buddha statue?"
Xu Yan was also taken aback. He raised his head and looked at the Buddha statue behind the monk. Indeed, the right hand of the Buddha statue was missing a finger!
And this Buddha statue was the one that had the black gas drilled into its base.
After searching for it thousands of times, he found it without any effort!
Xu Yan walked straight towards the Buddha statue. He couldn't wait any longer. That was a thousand modification points!
The monk took a step forward and stopped in front of Xu Yan. He said, "Benefactor Xu, please don't act rashly. This Buddha statue is the key to suppressing the demon. Once it's damaged, the demon will break out of the seal on the spot!"
Upon seeing this, Xu Yan stopped and said with a smile, "Master, please don't be nervous. I just want to touch this Buddha statue to see if it's the one I'm looking for."
"Just a touch?
Benefactor Xu, you have to think carefully. This demon has been imprisoned for more than 400 years. It has long gone mad!
It doesn't recognize anyone!
Benefactor Xu, please reconsider! "After the monk said that, he took a step back and stopped talking.
