30. In the temple of Changxi
As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Shi Yuanji smelled a turbid stench, and the black handprints on his neck began to spread gradually, and the blood vessels under the skin were prominent. As a last resort, he withdrew a feather cone, held it in his hand and slid a hole in the skin where the black handprint was located, and after a while, bursts of black gas emerged from the wound, finally inhibiting the spread of the black handprint.
Miaozhu, who was leading the way in front, changed his timid appearance in a low voice outside, and turned to look at Shi Yuanji, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What kind of fame are you doing?" Under Shi Yuanji's anger, sixteen feather cones surrounded Miaozhu's head, and some of them had even penetrated into his flesh.
After being pierced, Miao Zhu only took a gentle breath and said with a smile: "As a disciple of Fusang, why do you want to stand out for mortals? We are all chosen people, and we have long been beyond all things, and those mortals are like ants, they are the scum of the void, and they are the nourishment of our cultivation. β
Miao Zhu's smile gradually disappeared, and he became angry and righteous: "We should have united as one and worshiped the gods in order to achieve immortality, but you actually destroyed the magic circle dedicated to the great god Changxi because of a notice from a mortal, don't you know that you have blasphemed the gods?"
Shi Yuanji endured the pain and laughed hard: "Are you saying that you are serving Chang Xi? Is that magic circle arranged by you? It can't be you, you don't have the ability." β
"Is there anything wrong with worshipping the strong?" Miaozhu heard Shi Yuanji's taunt and said righteously. "The strong create everything in this world, and the weak can only survive under the protection of the strong. Those mortals who are ignorant and weak should give everything they have to the strong, and what obligation does the strong have to protect the weak?"
Shi Yuanji smiled bitterly, the temple in front of him was already stunned. He was intoxicated by the perception of Taixu in his mind, and he seemed to be generous but in fact he was talking to himself, but he refused to answer the question.
"To be honest, I think you are quite hypocritical, nodding in front of the county order, not humble or arrogant in front of me, I don't know what you look like in front of ordinary people, probably arrogant and shouting, haha. β
Shi Yuanji didn't want to waste any more time, he urged the piece of feather cone to force Miao Zhu tightly: "I don't want to communicate with people like you anymore, hand over the so-called god you worship, I have an account to settle with him!"
Because of Shi Yuanji's contemptuous attitude, Miaozhu was very angry in his heart, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and clicked, but he didn't dare to move because of the feather cone around his head.
"Fit, let him in. β
A majestic order came from the depths of the courtyard, and Miao Zhu said fiercely: "Master let you in, let your flying knife stay away from my head!"
"Just lead your way, as for what I'm going to do, you don't care. The feather cone was still around Yu Feidu's head, and Miaozhu had no choice but to swallow his anger and take Shi Yuanji in.
In the depths of the small courtyard, the scene has changed greatly, outside the small courtyard is still in the early spring, and the courtyard is actually the fragrance of birds and flowers like summer. A handsome woman was in the pavilion of the small courtyard, admiring the flowers and making incense Gu Ying felt sorry for herself, and Yu Fei was a little crazy when she saw the woman's figure.
"Master, I brought him here. "The temple Zhu respectfully bowed to the woman.
Shi Yuanji retracted the feather cone and made it surround his body. He fixed his eyes and saw that this woman was exactly the same as Chang Xi Shennian he had seen that night, and he couldn't help but feel sick in his heart.
"Go down, son. Shi Gongzi, please come to the concubine. The woman ordered Yu Fei to retreat with a cold face, but charmingly beckoned Shi Yuanji to the pavilion, and the anger that had dissipated rose again. He looked at Shi Yuanji fiercely, but he didn't expect Shi Yuanji to look back at him with pity.
Shi Yuanji said compassionately: "Brother Tai, I suggest that you go down and recite the Purifying Heart Mantra twenty times, and there is still a chance to turn back, otherwise you will really be doomed." β
Miaozhu snorted coldly and retreated angrily, seemingly ignoring Shi Yuanji's words.
Shi Yuanji only lamented in his heart, seeing a person go astray, but he couldn't recover it, this feeling of powerlessness really made him feel uncomfortable.
He held Su Sheng in his right hand, Qing Zhenwu in his left hand, and sixteen feather cones flew around his body, staring at the woman in the pavilion. "Isn't it uncomfortable for you to be a big man, dressed in a woman's skin?" he shouted to the woman.
The woman in the pavilion giggled and said charmingly: "Where is Shi Gongzi? Aren't you and I quite speculative when we met last night? By the way, is the poisonous tire I left on your neck quite comfortable?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a piercing pain in Shi Yuanji's neck, which made him fall to the ground in a cold sweat, and even the feather cones fell one after another.
The woman gradually lost her disguise, turning into a rotting and pale living corpse, and even her voice became rough and gloomy. He had extensive burn scars on his body, and it was clear that this was Tian Kuiyu's masterpiece last night.
"Why are you bad for my big array? At first, I thought that you also practiced the Nine Secret Secrets and wanted to take away the big array, but when I arrived at the mass grave, I found that the big array had been destroyed by you. Later, I thought you were trying to take the red Sumeru, but I searched the whole room and couldn't find it. β
He roared hysterically, "What the hell is the reason? You have the breath of a god in you, I practice a spell passed down by the gods, you and I should have the same philosophy." But I still can't understand why you broke my formation, you tell me!"
"It's nothing, it's just that the big array you made hurt so many people, I just think it's an eyesore, haha. Although Shi Yuanji sat down on the ground in pain, his face showed a resolute expression.
"Harm people? You and I are the chosen ones, those mortals are just nourishment in the process of becoming immortals and attaining enlightenment, and you still treat them as our kind? It's a joke! Sooner or later, we will be on an equal footing with those gods, and they are our kind. β
Shi Yuanji sneered: "Have you really seen the gods? β
He clutched the wound on his neck and struggled to straighten his back: "Those selfish guys, really say that to you?"
"You fool, so ignorant of miracles, you must be my opponent. The living corpse came to Shi Yuanji and said with blood-red eyes. "God has chosen me to pass on the Nine Secret Secrets so that on the Day of Judgment, he will use me as his claw to judge the sinful mortals of the world. After the judgment, I will be placed in the immortal class and rule over those innocent mortals, which is God's reward for me!"
"All men are guilty, and I have been forgiven by God and become an oracle, and I am certainly not the same kind as mortals. Last night at the mass grave, I noticed the aura on you, and I realized that you are also an oracle, why are you hindering me?"
"Celestial Wolf, is it the so-called Nine Secret Secrets passed on to you by Celestial Wolf?" Shi Yuanji said in astonishment. "You've been fooled, the wolf is not a god of judgment, he is a star, a warrior, a calamity, and a god of war. Is it really the so-called reward that he passed on to you the so-called Nine Secret Secrets?"
The living corpse laughed, as if it had suddenly dawned on him: "I see, you are afraid that I will rob you of your merits on the day of judgment, so it is so." It's a pity that I, Liu Fenghua, am well-informed, and I will be deceived by you hairy boy. No amount of rhetoric can shake my faith in God. β
"A few days ago, God gave me a dream, telling me that the day of judgment was near, and that I should prepare for my life. Hehe, but you actually want to merge with me, who is also a divine envoy, then don't blame me for being hot!" With that, he stretched out his hands and grabbed Shi Yuanji's neck.
In the face of the attack of the living corpses, Shi Yuanji didn't seem to be afraid at all, he said calmly: "It's just that you cultivate harmful spells, and you still think that you can be on an equal footing with the gods, it's just stupid! I'm also naΓ―ve, I actually think that a short-sighted guy like you, who treats others as nourishment, will think about whether the promises given by others will be fulfilled?"
Hearing this, Liu Fenghua stopped abruptly and asked suspiciously, "What did you just say?"
"Regret it, it's too late!" Shi Yuanji struggled to stand up, and used Su Sheng's black handprint on his neck to make another cut, and the black gas came out of it, and the pain was reduced a lot.
"There are 2,000 living corpses in your great array, and I don't know how many people you have harmed to do it. Last night, they attacked me again, but fortunately I was killed. Now, settle the old accounts together, and you can take your life!"
"Arrogance!" Liu Fenghua was furious and stretched out his hand to continue the attack.
Shi Yuanji's heart moved, and the feather cone that fell to the ground flew up like an eagle falcon and swooped straight into Liu Fenghua's head. He had to go back to block, and his arms collided with the feather cones, and for a while, the sparks splashed and rang, and the sixteen feather cones were all opened by him.
Shi Yuanji urged Zhenwu, and his hands were filled with flames and thunder. I saw a dark cloud gather in the sky in an instant, and fire rain and thunderstorms fell from the dark clouds and hit Liu Fenghua one after another.
