Chapter 94 Temple Worship (Two in One)
Because of the rituals at night, Madam Zhang and Madam Xu who were living in the backyard were sent home. So after cleaning the courtyard, Cheng Shengfei went to the kitchen, heated up the porridge left over from the evening, and put it on a small plate. I picked up some bamboo shoot slices mixed with sesame oil, minced chives, and shredded ginger, and put them on a wooden tray to give to Cheng Peixin.
When she walked to the window of Cheng Peixin's room, she saw that the window was half open, and she knew that the 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, glanced into the house from the window, and couldn't help but stop again.
Cheng Peixin didn't wash or rest, and she didn't even take off her cassock. She was sitting at the table, with a piece of paper spread out in front of her and a pen in her hand, frowning slightly.
Cheng Shengfei had good eyesight and saw two words written on the piece of paper - "Zhao Puppet".
She let out a small breath. Master and Sect Master Zhao of Ranshan are not close friends. They have met a total of four or five times in the past few years, and they have not spoken much.
But she understood that Master's impression of Zhao Puppet was not bad, and could even be called good. Because more than once, she had complained after drinking that most of the thirty-six sects pressed their disciples very tightly and had constant internal fights. Not to mention cultivating immortality, even meditating quietly and practicing cultivation was a constant source of trouble.
Although Keran Mountain has declined, Sect Leader Zhao has managed by doing nothing, restraining his disciples to meditate on the mountain to practice, and he himself does not care about worldly affairs. This is what a true practitioner should be like.
She herself felt that the master was right originally, but now it seems that Zhao Puppet went down to the mountain to cultivate immortality and lost all his disciples. It was really irresponsible.
And the words "Zhao Puppet" on the paper... made Cheng Shengfei feel inexplicably irritated.
The master did not tell her in detail why she came to Feiyun Temple in Deyang. He just said that she had suffered many grievances and rejections in the sect. But she guessed that it was probably because of the word "love".
Master likes to say "men are not good", but if you have never used deep feelings, you would not be able to say such words.
A thought was in his mind, but Cheng Shengfei felt that just thinking about it would be a bit treacherous - the master spent the first half of his life ruined by love, and now, he may not have learned the lesson. Could it be that she gradually fell in love with Sect Master Zhao over the years? Because you are too lonely?
She frowned and thought again and again, and couldn't help but make her footsteps a little heavier and walked to the window.
Taking another deep breath: "Mom..."
The room was quiet for a while, and Cheng Shengfei heard the sound of paper being crumpled, followed by Cheng Peixin's voice: "Why are you shouting like that today?"
"I just think it's good for us to be here. It's just me and you, mother, depending on each other, and it's very peaceful."
After a while, Cheng Peixin said: "Well. You have to practice hard and don't get distracted."
Cheng Shengfei walked to the window and handed the tray in: "Mom, eat something and rest early."
Cheng Peixin took the things 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 being closed, and then a few firelights flickered in the house. She sighed and walked back to the backyard to guard the child.
……
Deyang City was larger than expected. It took Li Wuxiang more than an hour to get to the east of the city. He also found a beggar sleeping next to the cowshed and asked about it before he found the "Wu Taiyi Temple".
I originally thought that this temple should be very majestic due to its prosperous incense, but when I arrived, I discovered that it was just a big house surrounded by woods near the outskirts of the city. Since there were no homes, no walls around, and no one to guard it.
You'll probably understand this after thinking about it for a moment. There really is a god in this world, and no one with a clear head would come to the temple to steal anything. Maybe many people who come to worship will take the initiative to clean it, just to see if they can get the blessing of Taiyi.
The group of beggars sleeping together under the wall of the big temple should be evidence of this. They were in rags, huddled together, and covered themselves with branches broken off from nearby to keep warm. They were all fast asleep, but they didn't go inside the house.
Li Wuxiang entered the temple. The statue of Taiyi in this temple was indeed exactly the same as what he had seen in his dream. It was just that it was two people tall when he was sitting. The iron helmet on his head almost touched the roof. His eyes were wider than Taiyi's, making him look more energetic. The altar table is filled with flowers, melons and fruits, and there is a long bright lamp on each side, which reflects the appearance of the statue in a terrifying and majestic way.
He turned around and tried to push the door and window gently. He found that they were well maintained and made no sound, so he closed them all.
Then he walked to the statue of Taiyi and bowed first. After saying "offense", he jumped on the case and squeezed behind the statue. First, he untied his clothes, then opened his chest, asked the tentacles in his body to grasp the back of the statue, and began to run Guangchanzi, trying to attach his spiritual thoughts to the statue.
But after only running it once, he found that the statue was completely dead, and the essence in his body could not pass through it at all.
He felt that since it was a method taught by Waixie in a dream, there should be no problem, so he tried again.
This time, he first used Guangchanzi to circulate the essence in his body, and then used the True Immortal Body Dao Pian to assist. The technique of the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter was as sharp and powerful as a chisel when it opened up the meridians in the body. Now when he walked to the statue, Li Wuxiang immediately felt that there was progress. But just after intruding under the painted clay of the statue, I suddenly felt a resistance - like a sudden breath of wind when I took a big breath, and my energy was suddenly pushed back.
Is there something weird 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 regained his composure for a moment, walked away two steps, leaned 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 are places like Lingshan and the Netherworld in this world, so there should be many powerful things. It was said that Taiyi had been suppressed, so the Taiyi Temple was originally ownerless. Since something had already occupied this place first, there was no need for him to start a conflict without knowing how powerful the other party was.
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! Tell 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 remaining 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 do you call me? 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 dead thing, die quickly!"
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 raised his face suddenly 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, and 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 shadows 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 spit it out with a sound, and a sword light was shot out with 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.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
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, and essence spurted out from his body. The sound of the canopy shook the blood on his body into a 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 touching the window silk, I 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. 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 before.
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 there was someone speaking in the temple. He couldn't tell where it was with his hearing, but it seemed to be echoing in the whole big house: "You have caused a good killing."
This voice was rich 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 lingered 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. The time has not come tonight, so you can leave."
"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. Now, 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 a 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!
