Chapter 23: Deserted Mountain Temple

Chapter 23: Deserted Mountain Temple
Scarface looked at the broken knife in his hand with a blank expression.

“I always feel like I’ve seen this scene before.”

Lin Shan and Scarface thought the same thing at the same time.

……

The scene was very embarrassing.

But the next scene was completely different from the previous ones. Scarface decisively threw the broken knife in his hand and turned around and ran!

After all, there were no teammates around him this time, and there were no weapons for him to pick up underground, so even if he picked up new ones, it would be useless.
But Scarface didn't know that Lin Shan's weapon had just become a magic weapon. After all, he could only see a flash of white light when it was strengthened, and he didn't know what had changed inside. He just thought that Lin Shan had also used some trump card, such as a powerful internal strength or martial arts secrets.

Besides, there were swords clashing with each other in front, and the fight was going on back and forth, so I didn't think about the change of weapons.

But the problem is that the newly bought sword hasn’t even warmed up yet, so how come it fails again?

"Damn Nightingale Logistics, it must be a quality issue, I want to complain!"

Scarface, who was running for his life, turned his head to glance at Lin Shan who was chasing him, and cursed the person in charge of purchasing for Nightingale in his heart.

"I accept that the cafeteria is contracted by our relatives, but are your fucking weapons also contracted by your relatives?"

Scarface was in a bitter mood. He had saved up contribution points for many years to change his sword skills. He bought a new sword to prevent the last failure. Even with such thorough preparations, an accident still happened!
Why? Why is God playing this trick on me?

……

Lin Shan, who was behind, was also chasing closely, holding the Kunlun knife in his hand with murderous intent.

It feels so good to hold a magic weapon in your hand!
The Changchun Qi continuously repaired the injuries in his body, and Lin Shan's condition was getting better and better. The advantages of his innate skills became apparent at this time, and in terms of endurance, it was far superior to his acquired skills.

It's ridiculous that Scarface thought he could get away? How naive!
At this moment, he pointed his palm towards the scar, slightly hooked his little finger, and there was a slight mechanical sound of "click".

“Swish, swish, swish, swish!”

Scarface, who was running in front, suddenly heard the sound of wind, glanced back, and was frightened out of his wits.

"Shit! Hidden Arrow!"

How could the killer Scarface not know about this vicious hidden weapon that can only be exchanged for 50 contribution points in Nightingale?

But most people tighten their wallets and save contribution points to exchange for skills and martial arts. Who would be stupid enough to be a sucker for this thing!

……

Scarface tried his best to dodge left and right, but the plum blossom sleeve arrows were fired in succession, named after the plum blossom shape, one in the middle and five around it.
Still failed to dodge all of them and was hit by one in the right calf.

"Pfft!"

After falling down and getting up, Scarface knew that he could not escape because of his injured calf, so he had to stop running and turned around with a look of grief and anger.

"Okay, okay, Xin Ershiyi, I was right about you. I didn't expect you to have such a trump card. Let's fight to the death today!"

As a martial artist, who doesn't know a few moves? Scarface punched hard and fought to the death, making a last stand.

Lin Shan was not vague and directly slapped him.

"Bang bang bang!"

The two men's fists collided, and low, clanging sounds continued to be heard.

After a moment, Scarface's right arm felt a little numb and itchy.

After three breaths, Scarface's right arm shrank a circle.

After five breaths, Scarface's right arm drooped down and he lost consciousness.

Scarface looked at his numb right arm with a blank expression and let out a long sigh.

"Xin Ershiyi, I was right about you. You actually have such a trump card."

Lin Shan interrupted him with a headache: "Okay, okay, are you a parrot? You keep repeating the same thing over and over again?"

Scarface stared at him stupidly with wide eyes for a while.

"Xin Ershiyi, I didn't expect you to be so young"

"Enough is enough!"

Scarface was furious: "You're not letting me talk?"

……

The fresh mountain breeze dispelled the smell of blood. Lin Shan covered the hole in front of him and inserted a few small branches as a sign of respect.

Scarface was a real man, he didn't even beg for mercy before he died. He just kept lamenting his bad luck and Nightingale's logistics were damned. But thinking back carefully, Scarface's three styles of the Tyrant Blade were indeed fierce. If he hadn't strengthened his panel, he might have really capsized.

At the same time, I secretly reflected in my heart that no matter who I meet in the future, I must not be careless.

Even a small scar-faced man has such martial arts skills and scheming. He not only scouts the direction of his mission in advance and hides at the entrance of the tunnel to wait for his prey, but also specially prepares new weapons and secret skills, using all his strength like a lion fighting a rabbit.

It can be seen that the world is so big that there are so many talented people. If you are not careful, you may die early.

After Lin Shan got rid of the powerful enemy, the heavy stone hanging in his heart was finally put down, and he felt relieved all over.

I probably got dozens of taels of silver from Scarface, but unfortunately I didn't find the knife skills.

……

"Brother Chicken, Brother Chicken?"

Returning to the cave on the mountainside, Lin Shan looked around for Brother Ji, but he couldn't find it anywhere and didn't know where it had gone.

"This is the first time I've encountered such a clever poultry. It's such a shame to let it go back to the mountains like this!"

It was almost noon. Lin Shan was really tired and hungry as he had been working at a high intensity from last night. In the end, he went down the mountain alone, carrying the antiques.

……

After having a meal in Taoyuan Village, Lin Shan, under the guidance of the villagers, walked fifty miles to an abandoned temple.

It was already night when we got here. The deserted mountain was particularly cold at night, and the moonlight sprinkled on the strange rocks and trees, exaggerating the lonely and gloomy atmosphere.

But Lin Shan was armed with a powerful weapon, and his courage was greatly increased. At this time, even if a master of internal fighting came, he had the confidence to fight!
The purpose of coming here is to find a place to stay while on the road and to verify the guess in my mind.

……

Pushing open the temple door, Lin Shan used a fire stick to light the table and the candles around it, making the entire temple feel much warmer.

Putting down the heavy bag, Lin Shan sat on the cushion in front of the Buddha and rested for a while. At the same time, he looked around and found that there were still traces of cleaning in the past few days.

It seems that even though the Black Lotus Sect has seized the faith in recent years, there are still some civilians who still believe in Buddhism, and every now and then there are always some people coming to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Lin Shan looked at the golden statue of the Buddha, which was about three meters tall, with kind eyes and a compassionate look, saving all living beings. There was wisdom hidden in his eyes, and he had seen all the changes in the world.

"excuse me!"

Lin Shan walked forward and bowed, and touched the incense burner, wooden fish, porcelain offerings of fruits and vegetables on the table with his hands, but the enhanced panel did not respond.

"what?"

This is strange, why do the items of the Black Lotus Sect have ancient charm? But not in front of the authentic Buddha statues.

Could it be?

Lin Shan bowed again, thinking to himself, “What a sin!” He gently touched the golden Buddha statue in front of him, and this time the enhanced panel finally responded.

【Golden Body of Buddha】

Quality: Common

Introduction: The golden body of the Buddha in the immortal world, used to communicate with various worlds and absorb the power of incense and wishes from a distance
Ancient Rhyme: 2 (Elapsed)

……

Wow, caught a big fish!
Could it be that the Buddha is also absorbing the ancient charm? Then wouldn't I be competing with the Buddha for food? Lin Shan was shocked.

But turn around and think about it carefully.

No, what the Buddha absorbed should be the power of incense and wishes, but his own enhanced panel can absorb not only the power of incense and wishes, but also the luck and humanities, and finally transform them all into ancient charm.

"What exactly is ancient rhyme?"

It can ignore the rules of physics and directly increase the level of items out of thin air. Gu Yun's rank must be far higher than the incense and vows absorbed by the Buddha.

Lin Shan felt that he had accidentally figured out a huge secret!

……

What he is struggling with now is the two pieces of ancient charm in front of him, should he inhale them or not?
After thinking for a long time, Lin Shan finally made a decision.

suck!
First of all, the Buddha is in the fairyland and I am in the mortal world. I don’t know how far apart we are, so he may not notice me.

Even if he could, he wouldn't attack Lin Shan from a distance just for a few bits of ancient charm, right?
The consumption cannot be made up, it’s a huge loss!
Lin Shan gritted his teeth and chose "Yes" in the "Yes/No absorption" box.

……

But the next moment, he suddenly felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from the endless void.
