1973 8 Month 23 Day.

Two criminals robbed a bank in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and took four bank employees hostage.

After a 130-hour standoff with police, he surrendered.

Afterwards, the four bank employees actually developed emotions including, but not limited to, identification, pity, and even admiration for the robbers, and finally refused to accuse the two robbers. One of the employees even married the robber.
Therefore, this incident was named Stockholm syndrome by psychologists.

"So, we are going to die here?"

After a long while, Biyao took a deep breath. No one knew that she had experienced something like this once when she was a child. That time, how traumatized she was. It took her many years to escape from that nightmare, but now, she was trapped again.
To be honest, if she hadn't been so successful in her training, she would have collapsed by now.
"Maybe, maybe not."

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Fear."

You are lying. There is no fear on your face at all.

"Fear is fear, and emotion is emotion. These are two different things."

Clapping his hands, Su Dingan stood up, walked to the water curtain, and looked at the smooth wall quietly.

“Emotionalism without actual action is meaningless.”

"Just now you said that this is the Bleeding Cave and the wall in front of us is a mechanism. Does that mean there should be a switch here to open the mechanism?"

"That's natural."

"Then let's look for it. Find the switch and go inside. Maybe we can still survive."

Su Dingan's voice was calm, yet firm.

After saying that, he pointed at Bi Yao in the air, blocking the Tai Chi wave that was circulating the true Qi in Bi Yao's body. The true Qi then dissipated without a trace, and Bi Yao was able to resume the use of her own abilities.

Stockholm syndrome triggers the first one.
Confined space.
In the pool, Bi Yao stuck her butt out and explored almost every inch of the place. The water wet her clothes, wrapped around her body, revealing her graceful figure.

Under normal circumstances, she might still be shy.

But now, people are about to be trapped and die here, and she doesn't have the time to care about these things.

Of course, there is also the only admirer here, this damn bastard, the way he looks at himself is the same as the way he looks at anyone else, without even a hint of lust in it.

To be honest, she was doubting herself.
"No, this damn black-hearted old ghost, how did he make the mechanism?"

Biyao sat down on the edge of the pool with a plop.

At least several hours had passed. She was in charge of the outside of the pool, while Su Dingan was in charge of the inside of the water curtain. Neither of them missed any details. She even reached out and touched the small blood-red stones on the top.

That is natural, dyed stone, absolutely without any tricks.
"Are you hungry? I have some dry food here."

Biyao pointed to a small package not far away, which contained the bread that she kept close to her body.

"Yes, flatbread."

Maybe someone would laugh at him, saying, as a cultivator of Taoism, especially one from the Demon Sect, how could you carry this thing with you?

But only Biyao herself knows what it feels like to be hungry.

She was afraid of being hungry.

Since that incident, she has never wasted a grain of food again.
Since that incident, she always carries a bag of dry food with her.
"Oh?"

Su Dingan turned his head and looked at Biyao.

"Interesting, you're willing to give me food. Don't you know that if I eat one bite, you'll eat one less bite?"

"I know."

Biyao shrugged and hugged her knees with her hands.

"I don't want to starve to death in this cave, but I don't want to wait for death in front of a rotting corpse even more."

"Oh? So you are a person with a story."

Su Dingan smiled slightly and took out a gourd from his waist.

"I have some wine here and nothing else to do. I don't mind listening to your story."

Stockholm syndrome triggers the second one.
交心
"then."

As he said that, Su Dingan threw the wine gourd to Biyao, and continued to "grope" and "knock".

"Gudu~Gudu~"

Bi Yao took a deep breath, and without caring whether Su Dingan had used this wine gourd before, she took a big gulp of wine.

Under the influence of alcohol, Biyao's face turned a little red, and her tense nerves seemed to relax a little.

A pair of eyes were a little blurry.

"When I was a child, my mother took me back to my grandmother's house to visit her. I am a demon, so my mother is also a demon, and so is my grandmother."

"So, Monk Pufang from Tianyin Temple used Buddhist magic weapons to shake down my grandmother's home, the Six Fox Cave on Huqi Mountain."

"Grandma is dead."

"My mother and I were trapped underground, just like today."

"It feels like there is no way up to heaven and no door into the earth."

“I thought I would never experience it again”

"But I don't want to"

As she spoke, Biyao took another sip of wine.
"Hello, Su Dingan."

"how"

"I'll give you half of the cake, but I hope you can promise me one thing."

"As long as it doesn't go against the will of the Tao, so, what is it?"

"We'll talk about this later."

Biyao smiled and stopped talking.

Su Dingan did not ask any further questions, but continued to search for the mechanism silently.

After all, the so-called heart-to-heart talk is a voluntary act. When the time comes, she will be willing to continue talking. If the time is not right, it is just a forced melon.
"As expected of the Qingyun Sect, one Qingyun Order brings thousands of troops to obey!"

Zhou Yixian led Xiaohuan and looked at Kongsang Mountain, which had never been so lively. Hundreds of people set up camp on the platform outside the Wanfu Cave.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry."

Xiaohuan patted the dirt off her body. Her grandfather took her and used earth escape to travel through the open air. After about three days, they finally arrived here.

"Then eat some dry food."

"But I smell barbecue, let's go eat."

"Stupid, we're not going up there."

"what?"

"After three days, the Qingyun Sect still hasn't taken any action. You can imagine how difficult this matter is. Why would your grandfather go there with his weight? We'll just wait here. When they fight each other and people die, I'll go and get some benefits."

"."

"So, Xiaohuan, tell me if Grandpa will be in danger this time."

"Oh" Although Zhou Xiaohuan was speechless, she also knew that her grandfather was so careful just for her, so she used the physiognomy she had learned to check on her grandfather.

"Hey, Grandpa, you are right."

After looking around and counting with his fingers, Zhou Xiaohuan suddenly smiled and said.

"how."

"The waves are piled up, and you are often trapped in poverty. It is better to be still than to move. You have talent but no destiny. This is a very bad omen."

At this point, the smile on Zhou Xiaohuan's face gradually disappeared, because she realized that as long as Grandpa didn't get involved, there would be a high probability that nothing would happen. However, the hundreds of righteous people would be in danger.
"It is better to be still than to move, and it is better to have wealth but no life"

Zhou Yixian narrowed his eyes slightly and pulled his beard with one hand.

"In that case, Xiaohuan, let's retreat."

"what??"

"What? There's a saying that a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Your fortune-telling skills are much better than your grandfather's. If you say it's dangerous, then it must be very dangerous."

"But, Grandpa"

Zhou Xiaohuan looked at the righteous people on the mountain.

"Child, you are still young, you don't understand, what is the right way and the wrong way, in the end, it's all the same thing."

Zhou Yixian rubbed Zhou Xiaohuan's head.

"In the final analysis, it's nothing more than a dispute over interests. Of course, people of the right path can still have some dignity, but people of the wrong path really don't treat people as human beings."

"Then why not me"

"You can't change anything by going."

Zhou Yixian shook his head.

"Don't they know it's dangerous? They definitely know it. They won't leave just because you say it's dangerous here, unless you can figure out what the danger is. But, that part, hehe, was burned by me, grandpa."

"Ah?? Grandpa, how could you do this!!"

"It's because you are so talented."

Zhou Yixian knocked on Zhou Xiaohuan's head.

"It doesn't matter if you predict good or bad luck. God is not that stingy. But if you learn that part and really predict the future, even if you don't tell anyone, it will shorten your life. I don't want to see my son die before me."

"But, Grandpa, I think we should still talk about it. After all, if the world is full of demons and monsters, our lives will not be easy."

“You just don’t believe it.”

Zhou Yixian shook his head.

"Remember not to talk nonsense later."

"oh oh."

"I don't know how Junior Brother Su is doing."

Zeng Shushu looked at Qi Hao and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

In three days, with the help of elixirs, Qi Hao's injuries had mostly healed. After all, his cultivation level was there.

Hearing this, Qi Hao did not speak. To be honest, he felt that if he continued like this, in such an environment, Junior Brother Su would not be able to remain calm and in the best condition. As long as he seized an opportunity, the enemy could rescue the demon girl. Without the hostage, even with Junior Brother Su's ability, it would be difficult to save the demon girl.
"I'll go see how Uncle Zeng's arrangements are going."

As he spoke, Qi Hao stood up and walked towards the entrance of the Ten Thousand Bat Cave.

During these three days, Zeng Shuchang did not just sit there and wait. After all, there were millions of resentful spirits below. If he did not have some means, no matter how many people came, it would only cause more casualties.

So, he teamed up with old monk Pu De to set up a formation here. Actually, it was called a teamwork in that Pu De was the main one and he was the auxiliary. After all, when it comes to liberating the souls of the dead, Tianyin Temple is professional and they use their bodies as the eyes, and the same is true for formations.

Everyone in the martial arts world knows that if you fight a positional battle with a well-prepared monk from Tianyin Temple, he can beat you to tears.
Therefore, Zeng Shuchang was actually just acting as a protector to prevent the evil cult members from sneaking in and destroying the formation. As I said before, the monks of Tianyin Temple were good at positional warfare, but it also took a long time to set up the position.

In fact, he no longer had much hope that Su Dingan could survive. What he wanted to do was to cooperate with old monk Pu De to completely eradicate this cancer of the Ten Thousand Bats Cave, especially the millions of resentful spirits below. Even someone like Yun Yilan could be scared away, so one can imagine how powerful it is. If it is not eliminated, this place is bound to be plagued by evil spirits again and again.

"Uncle Master."

"Why are you coming here if you don't want to recover from your injuries?"

At the entrance to the Ten Thousand Bats Cave is a huge, straight passage that leads straight down. This is the work of Yun Yilan. However, it is also because of this passage that the resentment from under the Undead Abyss turns into a cold wind that blows upwards.

Right now, Zeng Shuchang was hanging in the air at the first place in the cave, and at the top of the cave, the old monk Pu De was using some kind of magic tool. With the blessing of spiritual energy, bursts of golden water continued to emerge from the magic tool. The golden water infects the stone wall in the Wanfu Cave, leaving behind Buddhist swastikas one by one, which look densely packed at a glance.

"Uncle Master, I'm fine now. I wonder when we can go down?"

"At noon tomorrow, activate the magic circle. Then everyone will follow the golden light and kill the evil spirits."

Uncle Zeng often pointed at the magic circle and said.

"This is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation of the Tianyin Temple. The vengeful spirits that died within this formation will be liberated, and it can also provide spiritual energy back to the formation. However, this consumes a lot of energy. When we return this time, we at Qingyun Sect must repay them well."

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Suddenly, Pude, who was floating above the cave and forming an infection formation, roared loudly. Golden light filled his body and he flew out of the cave, pulling his two disciples.

Zeng Shuchang naturally would not be stunned. He also pulled Qi Hao and rushed to the cave entrance as quickly as possible. Then, he saw the old monk Pu De sitting on the center of the first formation outside the cave. He had turned into a golden man, chanting the mantra of rebirth.

In an instant, the Buddha's seal spread, and the sunlight in the sky gathered here. The light was so bright that people could not even see clearly, but it was not dazzling and gave people a warm and gentle feeling.

"Amitabha."

Suddenly, Pu De chanted a Buddhist name, and all the light gathered and turned into a giant Buddha, which covered the entire platform outside the Ten Thousand Bats Cave. Then, the Buddha's eyes looked towards the cave, and a golden light shot onto a stone in the cave that was dyed with gold water. Suddenly, the Buddhist swastika symbol on the stone began to rotate, and then the golden light was refracted, shining on the Undead Abyss that had not seen light for thousands of years.

At almost the same time, below the Undead Abyss, there were ghosts howling and wolves howling, and the air was filled with yin energy. Gusts of black gloomy wind blew up along the passage burned by Yun Yilan.

"boom!!!"

In the end, the two rays of light, one gold and one black, collided with each other.

The entire Kongsang Mountain seemed to be shaking.
"Oh? Interesting."

Under the Dead Abyss.

Mr. Ghost, who was also floating in the air, opened his eyes. At this glance, he seemed to see golden light and a golden Buddha.

"Mr. Ghost, what's going on?"

"That old monk actually also set up a formation, hoping to save the souls of these millions of resentful spirits. However, there is no need to worry. Taoism is very fast and Buddhism is very profound. Unfortunately, in terms of speed, it can't compare with my ghost method after all."

Mr. Gui's face looked a little bleak, but his expression was very relaxed. He arrived today, but the old monk had been preparing for three days, and now, he was still suppressed by him.

"puff!!"

Suddenly, Mr. Ghost chanted a spell and reached into his arms to grope for something. After a moment, he grabbed a handful of something that looked like ash and threw it into the skull. He then spat out a mouthful of blood, which fell on the skull in his hand.

Suddenly, the entire skeleton glowed with a scarlet light, and the concentration of resentment in the entire Undead Abyss instantly increased to a higher level, and gusts of resentful wind blew straight up.

"Click~"

"Click~"

"Click~"

Finally, cracks began to appear on the golden swastika above the cave. After all, the enemy caught him off guard, and the sub-array of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaos Formation was not fully deployed. Facing this endless resentment, it finally couldn't hold on and scattered all over the ground.
Then, the golden light was pushed out of the cave by the resentment.
"Squeak~"

"Squeak~"

When the resentment met the sunlight, it made a sizzling sound. Unfortunately, the resentment was too strong, and the sizzling sound had little effect on it. Soon, the resentment not only rushed out of Kongsang Mountain, but also enveloped the entire Golden Buddha and hundreds of righteous people inside the Golden Buddha.
