Worshiping the Temple (Two in One)
Chapter 94 Worshiping the Temple (Two in One)
Because of the ritual at night, Zhang and Xu, who originally lived in the backyard, had been sent back home. So after cleaning the courtyard, Cheng Shengfei went to the kitchen, heated up the porridge left over from the night, and picked up some bamboo shoots mixed with sesame oil, chopped chives, and shredded ginger in a small plate, and put them on a wooden tray to send to Cheng Peixin.
When she walked to the window of Cheng Peixin's room, she saw that the window was half open, so she knew that her master had not gone to bed yet - she liked to open the window and look at the moonlight before going to bed.
She took a few steps closer, looked into the room through the window, and couldn't help but stop again.
Cheng Peixin didn't wash and rest, and didn't even take off her robes. She was sitting at the table, with a piece of paper spread out in front of her, holding a pen in her hand, and frowning slightly.
Cheng Shengfei had good eyesight and saw two words written on the paper - "Zhao Kui".
She breathed a sigh of relief. The master was not close to the leader Zhao of Ranshan. They had met four or five times in these years, and they did not talk much.
But she knew that the master did not have a bad impression of Zhao Kui, and could even be called good. Because more than once, she had complained after drinking that most of the thirty-six sects oppressed their disciples very much and fought among themselves. Not to mention cultivating immortality, even sitting in meditation quietly and practicing was full of troubles.
Although Ranshan was in decline, the leader Zhao ruled by inaction, restraining his disciples to practice meditation on the mountain, and he himself did not ask about worldly affairs. This is what a true practitioner should be like.
She also felt that the master was right at first, but now it seems that Zhao Kui went down the mountain to cultivate immortality and abandoned his disciples. He was really irresponsible.
And the two words "Zhao Kui" on the paper... made Cheng Shengfei feel inexplicably irritated.
The master did not tell her in detail why he came to Deyang Feiyun Temple, but just said that he had suffered a lot of grievances and exclusion in the sect before. But she guessed that it was mostly because of the word "love".
The master liked to say "Men are not good things", but if he had not been deeply in love, he would not say such a thing.
A thought was in his mind, but Cheng Shengfei felt that just thinking about it would be a bit rebellious - the master's first half of his life was ruined by love, and now, perhaps he has not learned the lesson. Could it be that she has slowly fallen in love with the leader Zhao over the years? Because she is too lonely?
She frowned, thought again and again, and couldn't help but make her footsteps a little heavier and walked to the window.
He took another deep breath: "Mom..."
The room was quiet for a while, Cheng Shengfei heard the sound of paper being crumpled, and then Cheng Peixin's voice: "Why are you calling me like that today?"
"I just think it's good for us to be here, with only you and me depending on each other, and it's very quiet."
After a while, Cheng Peixin said: "Well. You have to practice well and don't be distracted."
Cheng Shengfei walked to the window and handed the tray in: "Mom, eat something and rest early."
Cheng Peixin took the food and said nothing.
Cheng Shengfei walked away from the window and walked to the shadow of the bamboo forest in the courtyard-after a while, she saw the window was closed, and then a few lights flickered in the house. She sighed and walked back to the backyard to watch over the child.
...
Deyang City is bigger than expected. It took Li Wuxiang more than an hour to get to the east of the city, and then he asked a beggar who slept by the cowshed, and then found the "Wu Taiyi Temple".
I originally thought that this temple was prosperous and should be magnificent, but when I arrived, I found that it was just a big house surrounded by the woods near the outskirts of the city. There were no houses around it, no walls, and no one guarding it.
I thought about it for a while and I understood it. There really are gods in this world. Those who are sober will not come to the temple to steal anything. Maybe many people who come to worship will even take the initiative to clean up to see if they can get Taiyi's blessing.
The group of beggars sleeping together under the wall of the big temple should be evidence of this. They were wearing tattered clothes and crowded together. They covered themselves with branches broken from nearby to keep warm. They were all asleep, but they didn't go into the house.
Li Wuxiang entered the temple. The statue of Taiyi in this temple was exactly the same as the one he saw in his dream, but it was two people tall when sitting, and the iron helmet on his head almost touched the roof. His eyes were a little bigger than Wen Taiyi's, and he looked more energetic. The altar in front of him was full of flowers and fruits, and there was a long-burning lamp on each side, which made the statue look terrifying and majestic.
He turned around and tried to push the doors and windows gently, and found that they were well maintained and there was no sound, so he closed them all.
Then he walked to the statue of Taiyi, bowed, said sorry, jumped onto the table, and squeezed behind the statue. First, he unbuttoned his clothes, then opened his chest, let the tentacles in his body climb the back of the statue, and began to operate Guangchanzi, trying to attach his mind to the statue.
But after only one operation, he found that the statue was completely like a dead object, and the essence in his body could not pass through it at all.
He thought that since it was a method taught by the evil spirit in the dream, there should be no problem, so he tried again.
This time, he first used Guangchanzi to operate the essence in his body, and then used the True Immortal Body Dao Pian to assist. The practice of the True Immortal Body Dao Pian is as sharp and powerful as a chisel when opening up the meridians in the body. At this time, when he moved to the statue again, Li Wuxiang immediately felt that he had made progress. But just as I penetrated the painted clay of the statue, I suddenly felt a resistance - like taking a deep breath and suddenly taking a gulp of air, and my energy was pushed back.
Is there something strange about this statue?
Li Wuxiang immediately closed his chest and quickly jumped out from behind the statue.
The gate of this temple faces west. It was almost Chou hour when he went out, and he spent about an hour on the road. It should be the time when Yin and Mao intersect, about five o'clock in the morning.
At this time, the moon in the sky was in the southwest, so the doors and windows of the temple were reflected brightly. When Li Wuxiang jumped down, he glanced in the direction of the door and window - if he were a human being, he would almost get goosebumps at this time!
Because on the stretched white silk of the window, dense silhouettes of human heads are reflected, as if there are many human-shaped things outside lying on the window looking in!
He took a breath and immediately took two steps away from the statue. At this time, he heard a sharp and harsh voice outside saying viciously: "Kill you! Beat you to death! Get out of here!"
As soon as this sound appeared, the window silk immediately lit up little by little green light, as if the eyes of the things outside were shining!
Those things are definitely not human, so this temple... must have been occupied. There must be some spirit or wild god as Cheng Peixin said, which has possessed the statue of Taiyi, so it was so difficult to pass the spirit just now!
Li Wuxiang calmed down for a moment, then walked away two steps, leaning his back against the wall, and raised his hands toward the statue and the door: "I didn't know there was an owner here, so I accidentally disturbed him."
He said this because he felt that since there is a place like Lingshan in the world and a netherworld, there should be many powerful things. Legend has it that Taiyi has been suppressed, so the Taiyi Temple was originally ownerless. Since something has taken over this place first, there is no need for him to start a conflict without knowing how powerful the other party is.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the voice outside the window rang again, becoming more sharp and vicious: "I'll beat you to death! I'll hold you to death! I told you to steal! Die here! Don't leave!"
Do you feel like you're showing weakness and it's getting angry again?
Li Wuxiang took a deep breath and asked the tentacles in his body to move the bricks and shredded paper closer and further apart, making preparations to hide in them. He then sent the flying sword to his throat before speaking: "Your Excellency, there is no need to be so fierce." Right? What's your name? Maybe we can make friends."
The voice outside the window immediately shouted: "How dare you disturb the purity of Emperor Taiyi of the Eastern Emperor! I am the snake general under the throne of Taiyi! You damn thing, go die!"
When it spoke now, its voice was even harsher, even hissing when it exhaled. Li Wuxiang was about to speak again when he suddenly heard the sound of something squirming above his head. He suddenly raised his face and saw countless A black shadow fell from the roof——
All snakes!
Those snakes were as thick as fingers, had arms as long as they were, and were all red in blood. When they fell, they flicked in the air, spat out their letters, and immediately pounced on him. Li Wuxiang only took two steps back, but his body was already covered in snakes, and the entire temple floor was covered with dense squirming snakes, swimming towards him in waves.
But he stood still, letting the snakes wrap around him, squirm, and bite: "These things are fine for scaring others, but I'm not afraid. If you don't stop, we might have to fight to the death today." "
He didn't actually need to open his mouth when he spoke, but even so, there was one that swam under the group of snakes to his mouth, twisting its body to get in from his mouth.
But this time, there was no response from that voice. Instead, you could see the shadow on the window silk swaying through the gaps between the snakes, as if they were extremely excited!
Li Wuxiang sneered: "Shameless!"
He opened his mouth suddenly, and the snake's head came in, but was immediately bitten off by Li Wuxiang. He spat it out with a sound, and a sword light shot out from the snake's head!
The sword light swam across his body, and the blood and minced meat cloak exploded into a ball of blood mist, and the severed snake body fell down with a crackle.
He stood still, and the tentacles protruding from all parts of his body danced the flying swords in succession. In just two or three breaths, his entire body was covered with snake blood. After a while, with him as the center, the ground was covered with a layer of snake blood. Another section of the snake's body was constantly bouncing, soaked in a pool of blood, looking like countless fish swimming in muddy water.
Li Wuxiang's body tensed up, and essence spurted out from his body. The sound of the canopy shook the blood on his body into a ball of blood mist. The next moment, the center of the blood mist was empty. He rushed towards the window and flew away. The sword shot with him.
But before he could touch the window silk, he heard another voice shouting: "Damn you! Tell me, General Bai, to kill you!"
Countless rays of white light immediately sprayed in from the window. He took a sharp breath and turned around in mid-air. His whole body turned into a thin piece of skin. The flying sword danced in front of him into a sheet of silver light, and he heard a jingling sound. There was a continuous sound, and everything that was shot was shattered by the sword light and turned into large pieces of smoke.
Only then did he fall to the ground, and with a little help, he rushed to the window again - the figures outside were still there, and they looked like the beggars who had been sleeping outside the temple.
When he rushed over, he brought up a strong gust of wind, and he immediately saw that the beggars' facial features were distorted by the wind, as if they were howling silently - these things turned out to be not human beings? !
With a sweep of sword light, several people in front of the window immediately flew their swords through a row. His flying sword was wrapped with tentacles, so the tentacles also penetrated in. As soon as the touch came over, Li Wuxiang immediately felt something was wrong. He rushed out of the window with the sword light, stood still on the ground and looked again - —
Only a dozen bloody human skins fell to the ground with a splash, blood gurgling out from underneath, and there were no more two sounds from before.
He was stunned, thought for a moment, kicked open the temple door that had been closed before, and saw blood on the ground again.
But at this time, those soaked in the pool of blood were no longer snake segments, but segments of flesh and blood. The things that were sprayed in from the window before were now rooted on the ground and walls. He could see clearly that they were all bone spurs!
Li Wuxiang knelt down and picked up a piece of flesh and blood and looked at it, then walked out and looked at the human skin outside, knowing what these were originally——
The "Snake General" and "White General" turned into red snakes and shot out white thorns, which were all taken from the original beggars outside. They first tore their flesh and blood into strips, and then divided their bones into bone spurs!
He stood up slowly and exhaled: "What a evil spirit, come out here!"
There's no such sound anymore.
But someone was speaking in the temple, and even with his hearing, he couldn't tell where exactly it was, but it seemed to be echoing in the whole big house: "You have caused a good killing."
This voice was deep and calm, completely different from the vicious and sharp scream just now. The voice seemed to be mixed with the sound of the copper bowl placed on the incense table. The lingering sound echoed in the ears, and it sounded really sacred and lofty.
Li Wuxiang sneered: "Your General Snake and General Bai are no match for me, so who are you? Show up!"
The voice sighed again: "Of course I am Donghuang Taiyi. You will be punished sooner or later for being evil. You can leave before the time comes tonight."
"Donghuang Taiyi? Such a coincidence, I'm half of it." Li Wuxiang sneered and stepped into the house, "I think it's not that the time has not come yet, but that you are afraid. I wanted to leave just now, but you didn't want me to leave. This I don’t want to leave anymore. Get out of here!”
He raised his eyes to look at the statue on the stage. At this moment, two lines of blood and tears flowed from the statue's eyes, and the doors and windows slammed shut behind him.
"Kneel down!" The voice seemed to be angry. With such a loud shout, the blood on the ground steamed into blood mist, filling the entire big room.
That thing should be in this room. General Snake and General Bai were asked to talk outside just now, probably because they didn't want to expose its true identity.
He stopped making any sound and stood still, listening carefully with his own ears. But the blood mist surged in the room, and even if something was moving, it couldn't be felt for a while. But since the previous General Snake and General White wanted to use the beggar's body as a means, they might not have entities, or even be in this world.
However, when Zeng Jianqiu was in Jinshui, he also told him some methods to deal with similar things.
So Li Wuxiang took a deep breath of blood mist: "Evil, right? Me too!"
The small sword slashed across his chest, Li Wuxiang's chest and abdomen opened wide, and countless tentacles spurted out from his chest, waving in the blood mist!
