After several days of hurrying, everyone was also a little tired, so they planned to take advantage of the situation to enter the low and dilapidated temple to rest.

"Temple?"

Qin Feng looked at the low house in front of him and examined the old temple.

The old house is located in front of a low hill, composed of tiles and loess, with a sense of age, the temple is not big, it is located in a deserted place, and it has not been there for a long time, but the beams of the roof, the horizontal wood of the door, and the threshold are all intact and have not been broken.

"Yuansheng Temple?" Qin Feng stopped in front of the temple and carefully looked at the big black plaque on the lintel.

Qin Feng released his spiritual power and dragged himself far away, watching this Yuansheng Temple from a distance, and glimpsed some extraordinary scenes.

The small temple seems to be in an inconsequential hill, which seems to be lonely and declining, but in fact, this place is guarded by many surrounding terrain, and the mountains that stretch in the distance start from the small temple, and the barrenness spreads in the opposite direction, corresponding to the area where the small temple is located.

This is an extraordinary topography, a means of a saint!

Everyone in the Wang family village saluted a little and walked into the temple as usual.

Rustle.

Suddenly, the temperature plummeted, and snow began to fall in the sky.

"Li Daoyou, hurry in, it's snowing. The weather in Iron Dragon City is unpredictable, and we didn't bring thick clothes when we went out on this trip, so it was difficult to keep out the cold. ”

Seeing that the young man was still looking at the temple, she said again: "Li Daoyou, this Yuansheng Temple is not strange, it is very common, in our Thirty Villages of Tielong City, there are many of them, all of them are dilapidated, some have withered, this one is well preserved." ”

The woman sighed towards her palm: "When you go out, when the weather changes greatly, you can have such a building to shelter from the wind and rain, not to mention how comfortable it is, the person who built this temple must be a good person." ”

Qin Feng walked into the temple and saw some cobwebs in the corner of the wall, the wall had not yet cracked, the roof tiles were well connected, and the house was quite dry.

Although the temple is small, it is divided into three parts, which are in good order, with a left wing room, a right wing room, and a main room.

The people walked through the edge of the wall and came to the back of the main house.

In the main room, there is a statue of Kong Wu, at the foot of the statue, there are some incense that has long been burned, and on the ground, there is a charcoal brazier.

Wangjiazhai and his party knelt down and begged the statue: "Yuan Sheng's predecessors, passing by the treasure land, the sky suddenly snowed heavily, so I stayed overnight, and I promised not to take anything at all, and I didn't see much strangeness." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by the old man on crutches beside her: "Granddaughter, the number of rites must not be less, this is the Yuan Sheng, so naturally you have to perform the Yuan Sheng's ceremony." ”

The girl pouted, but did not resist, and turned left three times in front of the statue, kowtowed three times, turned right three times, and kowtowed three times, and then gave up.

Qin Feng looked at the old statue, and always felt that his heart was furious, strange was not a taste, he hurriedly released his spiritual power, sensing every inch of the statue.

"It's carved out of an ordinary bluestone, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. He asked tentatively, "Miss Wang, do you think I need to perform such a salute?"

The woman shook her head and explained: "The Yuan Sage is a masculine sage, and the immortal power can't cover the woman, and the kind of ritual that I just performed has been passed down from the clan for a long time

Far. I can be protected by the Yuan Sheng, just like you. ”

She was embarrassed and said: "Li Daoyou, don't blame us for feudal superstition, this is something handed down by the older generation, my grandfather is old, and he always says that he sees strange things and wants me to follow these rituals." ”

In an instant, the woman remembered something and said, "Li Daoyou, my name is Chunhua, Wang Chunhua, you can call Xiaohua." ”

The woman wanted to say more, but the old man hurriedly reprimanded her: "Granddaughter, why don't you go to the east chamber to pick up some firewood, and then go to the west chamber to pick up some firewood, and make a fire in this charcoal brazier?"

The old man slowly paced towards the temple gate and closed the door: "It's getting dark, and it's cold at night, hurry up and make a fire." ”

He turned to Qin Feng and said solemnly: "Li Xiaoyou, please also use a little means to protect this fire at night and not let it go out." ”

Qin Feng was puzzled: "Why?"

The old man walked around the stove on crutches: "It's cold on a snowy night, and my granddaughter is weak and easy to catch a cold." ”

I saw her leaning down, carrying the charcoal brazier at the foot of the Yuan Sheng Statue to the center of the main room, and then entered the east chamber, and after a while, there was a creaking sound of firewood exploding, and after a while, the woman took out a few firewood from the east wing.

Qin Feng saw that the firewood was quite heavy and wanted to step forward to help, but was refused.

"Li Daoyou, I'm a woman, this is the Yuansheng Temple, hold firewood, make a fire, these things should be left to me, you just have to keep the fire with me in the middle of the night, and it is enough not to let it go out. ”

After a while, the woman took some firewood from the west wing, and after a few efforts, a fire was lit in the firewood brazier, and everyone in the room consciously crowded to the brazier, and the beating fire appeared on their faces, reflecting their shadows on the roof behind them, on the Yuan Sheng.

The woman also wanted to warm herself by the fire, but the old man hurriedly knocked on the ground with his cane and admonished, "Granddaughter, there is not enough firewood to burn for one night." ”

"You are weak, this is another snowy day, Wensheng Temple will not shelter you. ”

"You are borrowing the night, but it is difficult to borrow light, if you want to borrow light, you have to live by yourself. ”

Again, he stressed: "Don't let the firewood go out!"

"My eyelids jumped straight tonight, I have never had such a strong feeling, I can't say it, tonight the Yuan Sheng will manifest, and there will be demons and monsters!"

"We are a male body, in the Yuansheng Temple, the yang energy is full, you are a female body, only by borrowing light can you be safe. ”

Beside the old man, a group of young and middle-aged people scoffed.

"Don't worry, old village master, I am yang and can withstand it, and I won't let those filthy things get close to my sister!"

"Old village master, I just drank five bowls of secret water medicine before I went out, and now my stomach is full of yang energy, even if the unjustly killed belly shaver turns into a life-seeking ghost, I can also deal with her!"

A middle-aged man with a big nose patted his chest and swore an oath: "Don't worry, old man, I have enough energy, I will stay awake all night tonight, keep this firewood." ”

His big nose shrugged a few times: "I do what I say, who doesn't know my big nose?"

The old man shook his head: "It's better to add more firewood, insurance, this heavy snow is strange, and I feel uneasy in my heart." ”

The woman hurriedly added a large pile of firewood, and then sat down next to the charcoal brazier to fetch it

Warm, she pulled Qin Feng to sit down together, and seeing that the young man was confused, she explained: "This is what the older generation of our Iron Dragon City has passed on by word of mouth, and it has become a custom. ”

"When staying in the temple, it is important to light a fire and not let it go out, otherwise it will be ominous. ”

"Especially the Yuansheng Temple, I am a woman, and I am responsible for lighting the fire, which is also called borrowing light, borrowing the light of the Yuansheng Lord, and staying away from the unknown. She looked at the old man and did not complain: "Grandpa is also thinking about my safety, I would rather believe it than believe it." ”

Qin Fengpan sat down and asked the old man: "Uncle, can you tell Li who this Yuan Sage is?" My homeland is in the Eastern Xuan Domain, and I don't know much about this matter, so I'm very curious. ”

The old man had no intention of concealing it, and said: "That is a long time ago, the legend of the Yuan Sheng, passed on by word of mouth, there is not much left today, judging from the more and more dilapidated temple, the Yuan Sheng will also disappear with us old people into the ground." ”

"My grandfather told me that his real name was Yuan Ji, and he was a human being, paying attention to moderation, pursuing the golden mean, and being revered as holy by his descendants. ”

Qin Feng was shocked, and muttered in his heart: "It turned out to be the Yuan Era! I don't know, is it the same fierce man who ranks second on the Yin Realm Quenching Body Monument?"

The old man shook his head.

......

Rustle.

The night was deep, the snow outside the temple had not stopped, and from time to time there was a crackling sound on the roof, which was the sound of the empty snow being compacted.

The big-nosed middle-aged man was the first to sleep, and the sound of snoring surrounded the entire main room, and even spread to the two side rooms, loosening the snow outside.

Affected by this, everyone went to sleep, Qin Feng added some firewood to the brazier to make the fire burn more vigorously, and then he also fell asleep.

Dazed, I don't know how long it took, Qin Feng woke up, he vaguely heard some short and urgent knocks on the door, the young man was in a daze, and the sound sounded for the second time.

Knock knock.

It was indeed a knock on the door.

When the young man woke up, he saw that the firewood beside him was still burning, and his body was warm, so he reluctantly got up and planned to open the door.

Da-da-da-da.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the east wing, and the sound came from far and near, passing through the side door, getting louder and louder.

Qin Feng wondered: "It's strange, there is no one in the east wing. ”

He sensed it with his mental power, but still didn't find a human figure.

But the footsteps were real, and they were harsh in the silence of the night, and the sound of the clatter was maximized.

The footsteps walked to the main room, and finally stopped in front of the door!

Creak.

The door was opened, and the sound of conversation came from the temple door behind the wall.

"Yuan Sheng can be in the temple?"

"Nature is in the temple, what's the matter?"

The man hurriedly said: "Wen Sheng, please let Yuan Sheng go and talk about it." ”

"I'm afraid not. The voice paused for a moment, and then said, "Tonight there are guests in the house, and firewood has been raised, and there is a female benefactor who borrows light, and the saint must not leave, but must stay in the temple." ”

The voice outside the door was a little regretful: "I can't hide it, many saints gathered together and discussed it."

Things, one less Yuan Sheng, is not like words. ”

"Wait, I'll go and get some advice. ”

Da-da-da-da.

The footsteps gradually returned from the main room to the side room, and after a while, the footsteps returned to the main entrance.

"What does the saint ask?

"Involving the immortal envoys, the immortal realm, and the destination of the saints, related follow-up matters. ”

"Who are they?"

"The Saint of Literature, the Saint of Martial Arts, the Saint of Force, the Saint of Tribulation, the Spirit Saint, the Most Holy, and all the Saints have gathered. ”

"Xihe, the Yuan Era will manifest. ”

The footsteps returned to the East Chamber, and suddenly, two footsteps sounded, walking out of the East Chamber, and one more person walked out of the East Chamber!

Qin Feng was covered in sweat, he secretly ran to the root of the wall to take a peek, and suddenly, a sound sounded outside the wall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the matter is urgent, the saints have called, and I have to leave for a while. ”

"Someone borrowed light, as a Yuan Sheng, I wanted to give alms, but now there is really something, plus the strength of the little friend behind the wall is not weak, and he has mastered one of the top ten divine arts, and it is not a problem to deal with demons, so I left my post without permission. ”

The voice said: "Little friend, as long as you are in the Yuansheng Temple and have my form in your heart, all kinds of demons don't have to be afraid." ”

Creak. The door shut, and the voice was gone.

Qin Feng's heart shook tremblingly, he felt that his head was numb, and his cold hair stood on end. The law of time unexpectedly moved on its own, the surrounding scene changed, and figures appeared in the Yuansheng Temple.

"Who is that? Named a saint, could it be that he is a master of cutting off the six senses?"

Buzzing.

The power of the law of time disappeared, the imprint of the law returned to nothingness, all the images in the room disappeared, the saint was gone, and the footsteps were hidden, only he and a few people from Wangjiazhai followed.

"What's going on?" the young man was about to call the old man to ask him clearly, when his eyes suddenly went dark.

Poof. The firewood in the brazier was abruptly extinguished.

"Oops! The old man said that this fire is borrowed from light, and cannot be extinguished!" The young man hurriedly added firewood to the basin, and in a panic, he heard an unusually terrible sound outside the temple gate, like a ghost crying wolf.

Wang Chunhua was pinched up, as if she was stuck in the neck and lifted, even in the middle of the night, she could see that her face was as pale as paper.

"Flower girl, what's wrong with you?"
