Chapter 140 The Mysterious Man in the Ancient Temple
The two sides exchanged blows, the fight raging. Suddenly, a black chain appeared in the jailer's hand. Like a ferocious serpent, it flew towards Yi Siyang with a fierce momentum. Yi Siyang's face changed, and he dodged it with a narrow movement. However, the chain followed him closely, like a shadow. Finally, the chain struck a large tree behind Yi Siyang, and the tree fell with a dull thud.
At this moment, Shu Wanwan seized the opportunity, a glint of determination flashing in her eyes. She clasped her hands together, muttered something, and then released a powerful spiritual light. This spiritual light was like a sharp sword, rushing straight at the jailer, forcing him back a few steps.
Shu Wanwan took the opportunity to shout, "Run!"
Yi Siyang reacted quickly. Without hesitation, he grabbed Shu Wanwan's hand and, taking advantage of the moment the jailer was repelled, turned and ran back towards the forest they had come from. The two of them fought with all their might, their feet whirring like the wind, not daring to slack off for even a moment. They knew that only by escaping this dangerous place as quickly as possible would they have a chance of survival.
Behind them, the jailers chased them relentlessly, waving the black chains in their hands, trying to prevent them from escaping.
Just as the jailer behind them was about to catch up, Shu Wanwan focused all her energy, quickly pulled out a yellow talisman from her bosom, and used all her strength to unleash her spiritual power again. A dazzling light burst out instantly, and the two figures disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
As the light gradually faded, Yi Siyang and Shu Wanwan were pleasantly surprised to discover that they had successfully escaped the Western Suburbs Death Row and arrived in an unfamiliar place. At this moment, the two were gasping for breath, completely devoid of the joy of having survived.
This place looks like an ancient temple, surrounded by a mysterious and strange atmosphere.
"Isn't this the ancient temple where we filmed the variety show before?" Shu Wanwan said in surprise.
Yi Siyang and Shu Wanwan looked around vigilantly and moved forward cautiously.
"I feel that this mysterious place is too dangerous. There are one place after another. If I don't get out now, I may really not be able to get out?" A rare trace of worry appeared in Yi Siyang's eyes.
"There must be some connection between these places that we haven't discovered yet." Shu Wanwan had just used up almost all of her spiritual power. Now her face was pale and her breathing was not very even.
"Are you okay?" Yi Siyang no longer hid his concern and directly reached out to support Shu Wanwan.
Shu Wanwan did not dodge this time. Now was not the time to show off her strength. Moreover, after escaping death several times, Shu Wanwan could also feel that although Yi Siyang was mysterious, he did not seem to want to harm her. Moreover, Shu Wanwan felt that Yi Yang got along well with her.
The two continued walking forward and entered the center of the temple.
In the center of the temple, there was a huge Buddha statue with a kind and solemn face. Shu Wanwan adjusted her breath, approached the Buddha statue, and gently touched it. Suddenly, she felt a warm power coming over her.
"This Buddha statue seems to have spiritual power attached to it." Shu Wanwan said in a low voice.
This discovery is dispensable to Yi Siyang, but it is crucial to Shu Wanwan now. She only needs to absorb the energy from it and use it for her own recovery.
Although this kind of absorption does not seem to be the other party's original intention of cultivation, it seems like stealing.
"What do you think? How about converting it for your own use?" Yi Siyang couldn't help but ask as he looked at Shu Wanwan's still pale face.
Shu Wanwan just shook her head and said nothing.
She would not have such thoughts. Since it was a Buddha statue, it must have gained spiritual power by saving others. Taking it without asking would be considered stealing.
The two continued walking inside, arriving at a temple room. Inside, some old items were displayed, and a yellowed scroll hung on the wall. Shu Wanwan approached the scroll, carefully examining the pattern. Suddenly, she felt a strong attraction, as if the world in the scroll was calling her.
Yi Siyang noticed something strange about Shu Wanwan and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Shu Wanwan pointed at the scroll, her voice a little light as if she had lost herself in thought: "This painting... I seem to have seen it somewhere."
"Don't look at it!" Yi Siyang frowned and put his hand on Shu Wanwan's shoulder. "It's better to look less at the things in this world."
Shu Wanwan suddenly came to her senses and said "hmm".
Yi Siyang was right. Shu Wanwan felt it. She was now no different from an ordinary person. She was almost sucked into the scroll just now.
After this little incident, the two became even more cautious. After searching around, they discovered a dark room behind the Buddha statue. The dark room was filled with an old smell, and some strange runes could be vaguely seen carved on the wall.
"Ancient wall?" Shu Wanwan whispered.
The wall in this dark room was exactly the same as the one Shu Wanwan had seen before when she was filming a variety show.
When Yi Siyang saw these runes, his heart moved and he began to study them.
"You can't escape..." A bone-chilling voice pierced their ears.
Yi Siyang and Shu Wanwan looked at each other, "Who is it?" Yi Siyang growled in a low voice, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
A figure slowly walked out of the darkness, a black robe covering his body, making it impossible to see his face.
"You have destroyed the barrier and angered the gods. You are destined to be punished." The mysterious man's voice was chilling.
Shu Wanwan stepped forward, "Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"
The mysterious man raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of deep eyes. "I am the guardian of this land. Your actions have violated a taboo."
Yi Siyang sneered, "Humph, what guardian? He's just a guy who hides his head and shows his tail."
After saying that, he flashed and rushed towards the mysterious man. However, the mysterious man flicked his sleeve lightly, and Yi Siyang was bounced back by a powerful force.
"Don't waste your energy, you are no match for me." The mysterious man said lightly.
Shu Wanwan stared at the mysterious man. She realized that the enemy in front of them was very powerful and it would be difficult for the two of them alone to fight against him.
"What should we do?" she asked softly.
Yi Siyang gritted his teeth and said, "There must be a way out. We can't just give up like this."
Suddenly, Shu Wanwan noticed that the runes on the wall seemed to be flashing with a faint light.
"Maybe this is the key," she said, pointing to the wall.
Shu Wanwan suddenly remembered that she had seen a bead of light from the ancient wall before, and perhaps this ancient wall could be the same.
Shu Wanwan moved closer to the wall and carefully observed the shape and arrangement of each rune.
Shu Wanwan closed her eyes and concentrated, trying to feel the power contained in the runes. Suddenly, her hand involuntarily touched one of the runes, and in an instant, the rune shone with a strong light.
