Chapter 37 Zhixian Temple
Approximately after chasing around a temple, Xu Ke hurriedly called to Shiyi.
"Be careful, the evil spirit will not leave once it stops in the temple... I guess this place is its lair."
Shiyi touched the wound on her neck that had initially healed. Then he let go of his hands and walked toward the temple door.
But what Xu Ke expected was that this temple was not an abandoned temple.
But it is a small temple with a relatively strong incense.
A dazzling array of offerings, as well as a large amount of incense ashes accumulated in the incense burner.
There is even a temple priest keeping vigil inside.
Seeing Shiyi coming, the temple Zhu thought he was a pilgrim who had come earlier to offer incense.
Miao Zhu is an old man in his fifties or sixties, and he still smells of alcohol.
After seeing that Shiyi was a female guest alone, she walked out of the temple and complained:
"You little girl is really desperate for your life, how can you be so courageous."
" There are so many evil things in the city now, how dare you go out before dawn?"
Seeing that the other party is kind-hearted, Xu Ke also asked Shiyi not to be violent.
First follow your own teachings and try to ask the other party to see if you can find any clues.
"Excuse me...old gentleman."
"Have you ever seen or heard anything about the 'silk thread' in the neighborhood?"
Originally Xu Ke was just a dead horse being treated as a living horse doctor. , in fact, I didn’t hold out much hope.
But who would have thought that the face of the old man Zhu Zhu changed slightly when he heard this, and it was obvious that he had something evil in mind.
“If you don’t know me, don’t come here to cause trouble, otherwise I will report you to the official!”
Yo? Any unexpected gains?
"Please give me some advice, old gentleman, otherwise there will be something in the city..."
Shiyi was following Xu Ke's retelling word by word.
Who would have thought that the old man from the temple would find a lot of blood on Shiyi's hands and neck in the shadows at this moment.
Especially those eyes that are indifferent and emotionless...
The old man who wished the temple looked extremely ugly at this time. He took a few steps back and was about to turn around and flee into the temple.
How could Xu Ke let him go.
Shiyi followed the order and jumped directly behind the old man.
Gently pat the old man’s shoulder.
The expression on Miao Zhu’s face froze for an instant, and the next moment his whole body exploded.
As if it had been cut into dozens of pieces with a kitchen knife, the pieces of meat, internal organs, and bones were scattered everywhere and collapsed.
Even Shiyi was sprayed with blood and stood there blankly.
After being stunned for a moment, he finally said:
“I...didn’t do it.”
“I know.” Xu Ke couldn’t help showing a mocking expression. smile.
Evil things are still evil things after all, even though their attacks are cruel and their methods are weird.
But the brain is still not enough.
No matter what method he used to kill Miao Zhu, this behavior had no deterrent effect.
There is no way to confuse Xu Ke's goal.
Instead, he told Xu Ke directly and clearly that the evil creature's lair was this temple.
Shiyi then carefully walked into the temple under Xu Ke's order.
Judging from the plaque on this temple, it seems that this temple enshrines a female immortal named ‘Zhi Xian’.
Walking into the Zhixian Temple, there is a stone statue of a woman in feathered clothing enshrined in the main hall.
The appearance is very beautiful, the temperament is refined, the face has a kind and kind smile, and the eyes are full of compassion, as if lamenting the suffering in the world.
In front of the base of the stone statue, there is also a wooden sign with the story of Zhixian written on it.
There is a dense content written on it in small capital letters.
Probably it means giving up medicine to save people, mediating wars, curing floods, driving away plagues, and adopting orphans.
Judging from this wooden sign, this Immortal Weaver is probably an enthusiastic practitioner who is willing to do good and charity.
After his death, he was enshrined by the people in the city, and the incense has lasted for decades. Apart from tributes and incense, there is nothing else in this hall.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Ke suddenly said:
"Take down this wooden sign and take a look."
Shiyi took off the wooden sign and looked through it, but unexpectedly found that the wooden sign was There are actually words on the back of the card.
"Sure enough."
Xu Ke immediately read the content written on the back of the wooden sign.
The content inside is completely opposite to the front of the wooden sign.
Almost every merit of this Weaver Fairy was stripped away.
The purpose of administering medicine to save people is to inject poison into the bodies of the villagers, in order to blackmail them into allowing them to take whatever they want.
As for regulating the war, it was because the war itself was instigated by her.
In the end, she reaped the benefits and only pitied the innocent soul who died in vain.
For example, treating horizontal diseases is even more outrageous.
It was she who stole the eggs of monsters in the sea, causing them to become furious and cause floods.
It was only through the unity of other practitioners that the disaster was quelled.
As a result, this person jumped out to steal the credit.
Such crimes are numerous and notorious.
"This man is really a weirdo."
Xu Ke looked up again and looked at the kind face of the Zhixian, feeling a little awkward no matter how he looked at it.
I don’t know if it’s my illusion.
I always feel like the smile on her face is mocking?
“According to the statement on the wooden sign, the spirit of the Immortal Weaver lingers after his death, making everyone in the city restless.”
So the people at that time thought of a way to 'sacrifice evil spirits' according to local customs.
In fact, this custom has been passed down through the ages.
The extremely ferocious evil spirits will be built in temples and worshiped by some people who are afraid of them.
I beg them not to harm themselves, and it is best to bless them to have their wishes come true.
According to common sense, a real immortal will definitely not help evil people do bad things.
If we extrapolate that, does it mean that the enshrined evil spirits will help their believers do bad things?
For this reason, local people voluntarily raised money to build the Zhixian Temple.
This double-sided deeds card was also specially written.
The positive one is used to praise Zhixian and try to make her happy.
And even many practitioners have mentioned that some gods have no personality, and their personalities and behaviors are changed entirely based on the thoughts and thoughts of believers.
The reverse side is left as a warning to future generations. If the Zhixian causes trouble in future generations, this object can tell future generations the true face of the Zhixian.
“Although I know the origin of this temple, what does the evil thing that kills people everywhere have to do with Zhixian.”
“How to find out the whereabouts of the evil thing? ”
Xu Ke originally wanted Shiyi to turn the entire temple upside down, or at worst, break the stone statue.
See if the hidden evil thing will jump out and throw itself into the trap.
But Shiyi seemed to sense something, and suddenly pointed to the stone base under the stone statue.
This is the stone wall where the wooden sign was originally hung.
“There seems to be a smell there.”
The evil corpse is naturally sensitive to the smell of blood.
With Shiyi’s slap, the thin layer of stone wall was naturally smashed into pieces.
It turns out that the stone wall is just a cover, and the entire inside is hollow space.
Looking down, the small space behind the stone wall was filled with corpses that had been cut into pieces.
They were densely packed in the space under the stone base.
And the blood was not dry and the meat was not rotten. It was obviously done in the past few days.
No wonder Shiyi can smell the blood even through a stone wall...
