Chapter 291 The Mad High Priest
Chapter 291 The Mad High Priest
Several people followed She Xiao to a black hall. The huge copper furnace in front of the hall was filled with ice and snow.
It had obviously been abandoned for a long time.
She Xiao pushed open the door, and an air even colder than the outside world penetrated into his body.
Rather than saying it was a kind of coldness, it was more like a chilly air that made people feel an inexplicable fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Wu Ya rubbed his arms up and down, but still didn't feel any warmth.
He looked up at the layers of black gauze blowing from the ceiling to the ground, and felt more and more uneasy.
He subconsciously stood behind Ren Yi.
[Your Majesty, why is it so cold here? Have we arrived in hell? ]
He took a random look with his spiritual sense and his face turned a little cold.
[There is the breath of the dead here. If you inhale too much, it may disturb your mind. Now everyone should silently recite the Heart Purification Mantra in their hearts. ]
The mantra of the Purification Mantra can be told to anyone through magical telepathy.
At this time, She Xiao had already lifted the black curtain and walked to the front.
He said to the figure in the black curtain in front of him, "Master, today's incense has been distributed.
An old and hoarse voice sounded slowly.
"Has the Holy Envoy arrived?"
She Xiao said in a deep voice: "No."
"When the fragrant soul arrives, you must bring it to me immediately."
She Xiao nodded.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they heard this.
This voice is... the High Priest of Gu Bi!
"Well, how many friends did you bring with you?"
As Gu Bi spoke, he slowly opened the curtain.
There was a hint of grayness on his deeply sunken cheeks, and his cloudy eyes no longer had the brilliance they once had.
The wrinkled skin was like old tree bark, and a fishy smell instantly drifted over.
Wuya and the others subconsciously took a step back.
However, Ren Yi saw a man in a black robe lying behind the High Priest Gu Bi.
He was breathless and lying on the ground with a pale face.
In just a moment, the high priest lowered the veil to cover the man in black robe.
The high priest walked very slowly, step by step.
He craned his neck, trying hard to see their faces clearly.
Before he got close, the high priest stopped.
His eyes fell on the fat bird on Random's shoulder.
“Yes, it’s you…”
"Go, go! Go quickly!" The high priest suddenly became excited, and the black floor-length gauze curtain was pulled by him, making a tearing sound.
She Xiao hurried forward to support the high priest, "Master, what's wrong with you? Do you know them?"
The high priest held his head in panic, "I don't know them! I don't know them! Let them go, quickly!"
The high priest's voice was sharp and thin, not as hoarse as before.
She Xiao waved his hand and asked them to leave, and they left quickly.
Several people stood outside the hall, feeling very confused.
Wu Ya: "Did the high priest recognize us? Why does he look so crazy?"
"It's not just crazy." Zi Wu's face was very ugly, "There's a lot of ghost energy in there. The man in black robes in front of the high priest has been dead for a long time."
Ziwu has been dealing with evil spirits for many years and she knows this very well.
"People who deal with ghosts all year round will have their vitality sucked away, so the high priest's face will appear gray and faded."
Zi Wu looked at Ren Yi and said, "We must get that man's body out as soon as possible, otherwise... the high priest will be in danger."
At this moment, She Xiao closed the palace door and walked out.
"Who are you?" She Xiao looked at them suspiciously, "Why is my master so excited when he sees you?"
Ren Yi chuckled: "Someone who can help you."
"Oh?"
"You brought us here because the high priest is in a bad condition."
Ren Yi looked at She Xiao and said meaningfully:
"My friend is well versed in ghost arts. She saw that the reason for the high priest's change was in that man's body."
"Considering what you said before about asking for our help, I guess you must want us to get that man's body out."
"Am I right?"
She Xiao's heart moved and his eyes were fixed on Ren Yi.
The woman had a pale face and a frail figure, but she exuded a special aura that easily dominated the entire scene and controlled the overall situation.
A dull pain in his head stopped him from thinking.
"Yes, are you willing to complete this deal?"
Ren Yi smiled slightly: "No problem."
She Xiao looked at her suspiciously, "So happy?"
"I see that you are a straightforward person. Isn't it good to be straightforward with each other?"
A faint smile also appeared on She Xiao's face, "Okay, that's great!"
"Before our transaction begins, I want to meet the monk you captured to confirm his safety."
She Xiao looked at Ren Yi and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
Anyway, without the master's magic weapon, they can't open the barrier.
Several people followed She Xiao through numerous restrictions and arrived at the depths of the dungeon.
"He is the person you are looking for."
