Chapter 1653

Entering the room, Gu Zheng looked at the similarly shabby houses around him, like an ascetic, with almost nothing. The only thing that caught his attention was probably the few cassock-like clothes, which emitted violent fluctuations of spiritual energy.

At this time, there were scriptures scattered everywhere around him, occupying almost most of the surrounding space, and Wuxiang was sitting on a yellow futon in the middle, with a pillar of sandalwood burning slowly behind him.

"Donor Gu, I can feel your help these days. Thank you so much." Wu Xiang stood up and said to Gu Zheng.

"What's wrong with you! Why have you suddenly become so vicissitudes of life!" Gu Zheng looked at Master Wuxiang's face and said in surprise.

Wu Xiang, who originally looked like a young man in his twenties, now seemed to have aged ten years. His whole face had changed into that of a man in his thirties, and even his aura seemed to have changed slightly.

"It doesn't matter, I just haven't had a good rest for a long time. I don't value appearance so much." Wu Xiang smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about it at all.

"I asked Master Wuxiang to rest, but he was not sure about resting. He kept saying that there was not enough time. I didn't understand. Wouldn't it be better if we stayed here longer." Xiaoying, who had followed over, complained to Gu Zheng. road.

"Xiaoying herself is simple, kind, and extremely smart. I can see that you have things to do, so you might as well finish them in one go. I will have a good rest then." Wu Xiang did not answer, but said to Gu Zheng.

"That's really troubling you. We are doing more to help you. We can also help you solve this matter." Gu Zheng said politely.

"The problem cannot be solved. The only way is to move everyone away. Fortunately, my mission has been completed here. I just can't worry about these people." Wu Xiangxin said with emotion.

"What else should I do? There is still a huge storm outside, I'm afraid I can't get out." Gu Zheng asked, feeling relieved after seeing that Xiaoying was fine.

What you can do will help you feel more confident when you open your mouth in the future.

"Of course I have a way. Now, the first is to mobilize the city to continue preparing for evacuation. I can send people to do this. The more important thing is to help get rid of some accumulated evil spirits in the city. Don't worry about small groups either. The most important thing is that the four Arhat statues here must be completely removed and kept clean. They will be needed to activate the formation in the future," Wu Xiang said carefully.

"Just leave this to me. I have nothing to do anyway, so you should take a rest quickly. I'll take Xiaoying away and wait until you feel better." Gu Zheng agreed and said.

"No, I will continue to teach Xiaoying. This is the critical moment and cannot be interrupted at all. The worst is to rest for a few hundred more years and wait until this period of time has passed." Faced with Gu Zheng's words, Wu Xiang was direct. reject.

"Master Wuxiang, don't be so anxious, you'll have time on the way." Xiaoying said crisply from the side, her childish voice full of worry. After all, Wuxiang's appearance has changed too much.

"Haha, I know you are worried about me, but how can a person with my level of cultivation be exhausted? That's it. Wait a minute, Xiaoying, please continue to explain to me the book you just asked you to read. , Besides, you said you have some new understanding of some techniques, so you can't interrupt." Wu Xiang smiled slightly and still rejected their proposal.

"Okay then, it is indeed a rare opportunity to understand the technique, so Xiaoying, please continue to stay here and wait until I am better or until you are finished." When Gu Zheng heard this, he said directly without forcing it.

"Master Wuxiang, I'll take my leave first."

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he waved to Xiaoying and retreated out of the room.

Seeing the door closing again as he exited, Gu Zheng walked directly outside.

Now that you have agreed to the other party, let’s start with the four Arhat statues in the temple.

Gu Zheng knew the location of the four Arhats. They were at the four corners near the middle. However, there were Buddhist powers on them to protect themselves. Basically, they were also places where pilgrims went to offer incense. Those evil spirits could not get close at all. .

Gu Zheng understood what Wu Xiang meant and began to check the four statues one by one to see if there was anything missing.

When it got dark, Gu Zheng also walked out of the fourth statue. Everything was fine. There was no evil at all around the four Arhat halls.

"Hey, whose statue is this!"

Gu Zheng walked from the outside along the main road and was about to go back when he saw a rather strange hall halfway.

There are no candles lighting up the surrounding area of ​​this hall, as if it is deeply hidden here and is inconspicuous at all.

But this position seems to be facing down in the center. The door was closed before, but now it has been opened, revealing human figures and bright candles slightly lit by incense candles.

Gu Zheng thought for a moment and leaned over curiously.

At first glance, it is clear that this hall is not open to ordinary pilgrims, and it is unclear who is being enshrined inside.

For a moment, many specific Buddhist figures flashed through Gu Zheng's mind, but he could not think of the reason why they were placed here.

When they walked inside, the three figures inside were startled when they heard the movement behind them. When they looked back, they found that it was Gu Zheng, and they let go of their vigilance.

"Who is this person?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask when he saw that Qi Cha, who had led the way before, was also here.

The statue in front of him is a bit old. It is a strange man who looks old. The lifelike statue is full of wrinkles, and looks more like an ordinary old man.

"Donor Gu, this man is the master of Master Wuxiang, but he has passed away. Every seven days, we will come to burn incense for him and recite scriptures." The tea-maker said quickly when he saw Gu Zheng asking.

The other two continued to light incense and candles, and the incense burner in front of them was almost full.

"I see." Gu Zheng also took a few sticks from the side and lit them, and put them in the incense burner in front of him, and then said.

"Then you continue, I won't disturb you."

Gu Zheng took two steps back, but did not leave. He subconsciously began to look around to see if there was any evil spirit.

There was no one sitting on the ground below, sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes, and almost at the same time began to recite a kind of sacrificial text.

A faint murmur sounded in this slightly empty hall.

Although these three monks can be said to have no cultivation, a peaceful and serene atmosphere permeated from the surroundings, making people feel very comfortable.

Gu Zheng, after scanning the area, also found that there was no strange atmosphere around, so he was ready to go back. Suddenly, a faint golden light flashed in front of him, which made Gu Zheng's figure pause, and he felt as if there was something there.

Gu Zheng looked towards the place where the golden light flashed, and found that it was a book in the hands of the statue in front of him.

However, looking at it now, the book was also carved from the whole stone statue. Apart from the outline, it was impossible to open it. In Gu Zheng's eyes, it was just a stone, and it was also grayish white at this time.

But Gu Zheng noticed that the little smoke from the burning incense and candles below seemed to be slowly absorbed by the book.

Gu Zheng shifted his gaze to other places again, and at the same time, he paid attention to the stone book that had just emitted a strange golden light.

But there was nothing suspicious about the other parts. Gu Zheng's eyes kept lingering on it. He believed that he was definitely not dazzled just now, and as long as the other party appeared again, he would definitely be able to find it.

After a short while, Qi Cha and the others' voices began to become low, as if they were about to finish, and only the last piece of incense and candles in front of them was left.

When Gu Zheng was about to give up at this time, the book he had been paying attention to suddenly flashed a golden color again, and almost turned into pure gold in the blink of an eye.

Gu Zheng was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and subconsciously sucked forward. The stone book that was originally inlaid with a stone statue suddenly broke away from it, and fell into Gu Zheng's palm the next moment.

Gu Zheng was stunned and looked at the golden book in his hand, which was as smooth as silk.

And it was originally a foot thick, but now it was only a few thin layers.

At a glance, he found that the transparent yellow color of the entire book could be seen through his palm.

The golden words like tadpoles were swimming on it, densely presented in front of Gu Zheng's eyes. He just looked at it for a few more times, without even turning the page, and felt dizzy, and quickly turned his eyes away.

"Donor Gu, we are leaving this sealed palace." At this time, Qi Cha and the others stood up and prepared to leave without knowing when.

"Oh oh!" Gu Zheng agreed subconsciously, and then walked out of the hall with the golden book.

"Creaky"

The heavy door was slowly pulled back by the two of them. Through the increasingly narrow gap, Gu Zheng clearly saw that the stone book was still on the palm of the statue.

The golden book in his hand still emitted a hazy golden light, and in the completely dark darkness, it was as conspicuous as a firefly.

"Donor Gu, we will go back first. Is there anything else we need to do? Please tell me, Master Wuxiang has said that anything can satisfy your wishes." Qi Cha saw Gu Zheng stunned in place and spoke again.

"There is nothing for you to do. I have something in my hand. Can't you see it?" Gu Zheng looked at the eyes on the opposite side looking at him, without a trace of light looking at his hand, and asked with his palm on his chest.

"Nothing, does the donor Gu have something for us to pass on?" Qi Cha asked with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"It's okay, you go back first, I'll go back too." Gu Zheng looked at the increasingly dim book in his hand and decided to go back first.

Time had unknowingly reached late at night, and Gu Zheng sat on the bed, looking at the book in his hand.

At this time, the tadpoles on it were completely motionless, like a dead object, but he couldn't understand the text, as if it was a very unpopular Buddhist text.

Gu Zheng carefully opened the thin book and found that there were only a few pages, and there were golden tadpoles scattered on each page, frozen on it.

After a while, Gu Zheng put it away helplessly. He didn't understand anything at all. It was really a blind man lighting a lamp, a waste of effort.

It seems that when there is time to ask Wuxiang, maybe he knows something, after all, it was suddenly revealed from the statue of his master.

Or wait until Xiaoying comes out, and then go to Wuxiang to ask.

Early the next morning, Gu Zheng spent three days completely eliminating all the larger evil spirits in the temple, and then turned around and walked out of the city.

"Guizi's father, what did you do? I just left for a while. Look at Guizi, he fell and was covered in mud. Don't you know that you don't have money to buy another one if you wash it?"

"I just turned my head and he fell to the ground. He only cares about money."

"It was you"

"I"

Gu Zheng was walking in a small alley, listening to a family next to him, who got angry because of a small thing and had to expose all the shortcomings of the other party.

Looking at the bright golden shield in the sky, invisible golden light spots fell from the sky all the time, falling towards the bottom, purifying the faint evil spirit in the air.

So all the people in the city below were a little irritable, and they quarreled at every turn, but they tried to restrain themselves, because everyone knew that this situation was a threat, which amplified the negative emotions in their hearts.

Gu Zheng glanced at the invisible black fog, raised his hand, and a large piece of light bloomed from his hand, sweeping around like a storm.

Half a day later, Gu Zheng walked towards another street again.

As the evil spirits around them were temporarily swept away, the couple who had just quarreled suddenly stopped.

"I'm sorry!"

The two shouted at the same time, and the nameless fire in their hearts almost disappeared in an instant.

After three streets, Gu Zheng returned to the temple again and swallowed a pill to speed up his recovery.

Another ten days, fortunately, the city of Shahai is not big, otherwise Gu Zheng would have died of exhaustion in it.

Even Gu Zheng felt that the situation was getting better and better now, and the evil spirit seemed to have disappeared.

The people in the city were also mobilized, packing up their belongings, waiting for a suitable time for Wuxiang to lead them to leave here and migrate to the nearest country.

And on this day, when Gu Zheng finally finished everything, he returned to his room again at the same time as the night was about to fall, but found that a small figure was waiting for him inside.

"Young Master!"

The small voice sounded in the air with surprise.

"What a coincidence, I just finished everything here, and you came back. It seems that Master Wuxiang is really accurate." Gu Zheng looked at Xiaoying and laughed.

After not seeing each other for half a month, Xiaoying actually had a faint Buddha light on her body, like a high monk.

But there was also a benefit, that Buddha light actually covered up Xiaoye's breath, even people in the late Daluo stage might not be able to detect it.

"That's right, Master Wuxiang praised me, saying that I was a genius among geniuses, hehe, and asked me to spend ten years in a tower, and only ten days in the outside world, I almost emptied all his knowledge, I'm awesome." Xiaoying's face was as smiling as a flower, and she kept spinning in front of Gu Zheng, looking like she was asking for credit.

"But, I still haven't comprehended my own skills, I feel that I'm a little bit short, is it because I'm a ghost, I can only rely on devouring others to improve myself." In a blink of an eye, the happy Xiaoying here raised her face again, a little inferiority said.

"Ten years!" Gu Zheng muttered in his heart, thinking of the nine-story tower, it can even interfere with the passage of time, a grain of sand is a world, it seems that this time he really owed the other party a favor.

Although it was not for himself, he had to bear it, after all, for his nominal spiritual child Xiaoying.

In comparison, what I did was a bit insignificant.

"Of course not, I have never seen a ghost who can practice Buddhism, and study it so deeply. Besides, you have only practiced for a few days, and others may not be as good as you even if they have practiced for millions of years." Gu Zheng comforted her.

Although Gu Zheng did not know what level she could reach at this time, he could sense that she had at least reached the level of the Golden Immortal Stage based on his own observation, which was really shocking.

Although everything was attributed to her own foundation, it also said how amazing her understanding was. No wonder Wuxiang wanted to teach her so urgently.

"Besides, some things also require opportunities. Maybe the next time you experience it, you can complete the idea in your mind." Gu Zheng continued to comfort her.

"Yeah, I know." Xiaoying's face was dark and dark. After hearing all these things, she felt that she was a little impatient.

"But I feel that Master Wuxiang didn't teach me one thing at the end. He was explaining it well, but he kicked me out. It's really a pity. It doesn't seem like he wanted me to come back and meet you, but it seems like he kicked me out. It's so strange." Xiaoying looked at Gu Zheng and walked into the room to rest at the table, and said with some doubt.

"Maybe there is something urgent. Take a look at this. Do you recognize it?" Gu Zheng took out the book he got, put it on the table, and said to Xiaoying.

"It's a little familiar, but I can't recognize it." Xiaoying flew over and looked at the tadpoles on it and said, "Master Wuxiang explained the origin of this text to me at the beginning, but I recognize two words in it."

"Is it about Buddhism?" Gu Zheng asked with interest.

"No, this and this, they are the two words of earth and hell, which are really strange. The two words are so far away, but why do they give me a very scary feeling." Xiaoying shuddered suddenly, and her face turned pale.

"Then don't look at it, don't force yourself." Gu Zheng put away the book in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Before it's too late, let's go ask Master Wuxiang, maybe he knows something."

The two of them took advantage of the night before it was completely dark and walked to the back.

They were not very fast, and when they arrived at the backyard door, it was completely dark.

At this time, a young monk walked out of the backyard in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"What's going on?" Gu Zheng grabbed the other person and found that he was one of the people who had sacrificed with Qi Cha last time.

"I'm going to inform my fellow disciples of the side sect that Senior Brother Qing has disappeared. I've already searched for him." The young monk looked at Gu Zheng and said with all his strength.

"How is it possible? I saw him guarding the door when I came out in the afternoon." Xiaoying said subconsciously in surprise.

"Forget it, you go first, let's go find Master Wuxiang first." Gu Zheng let go of the young monk and walked inside in a hurry with a serious look.
