After a while, Cheng Li and Xiaoqing, as well as the Bodhisattva who had taken off the tattered gold armor, returned to the door of the inn where they were staying.

After such a vicious fight, I thought that most of the hundreds of Yongzhou people who had gathered here before had dispersed. But when I looked back, I found that it was not the case at all.

I saw that the hundreds of ordinary people had gathered in a group again, but they were kneeling on the ground in a circle, constantly bowing and worshipping something in the circle, and they were still chanting words in their mouths, but they couldn't understand what they were reciting.

Cheng Li felt a little strange. Looking back, Xiaoqing and the Bodhisattva glanced at each other, then moved forward and shouted, "What are you doing?"

No one answered. Everyone looked at Cheng Li and the other three with a look of fear, hatred, and resentment. But they didn't dare to stand up to stop them after all, so they silently separated to the left and right, making way for Cheng Li and the three of them to see clearly what was worshiped in the circle.

The Tiger, the Golden-Footed Tiger, the One-Eyed Tiger, the Winged Tiger, the Smiling Tiger, the Humpback Tiger, and the Rouge Tiger, all of them are here. However, what Cheng Li saw was not a living person with flesh and blood, or even a corpse, but seven cold and stiff, but lifelike statues with vivid expressions.

Even the most ingenious craftsmen in the world would never have been able to carve seven stone statues in such a short period of time. But if the gods themselves acted, then it would be a matter of raising hands to turn the seven dead bodies into stone sculptures, right?

But...... Is there really a ghost or god in this world? Is there really an evil spell that can turn a living person into a stone sculpture?

Cheng Li was still groaning, but Xiaoqing next to him couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as she stretched out her hand, she grabbed a man in his thirties next to her and asked, "Hey, what's going on with these statues?"

The man trembled and said in a trembling voice, "The true god has appeared, the true god has appeared!" The true god has descended and taken away the souls of the seven believers, so that they can enter the cave heaven and blessed land, and enjoy the immortal blessings forever. The body of the believer is turned into a stone carving, and from now on, it will be immortal for thousands of years, and it will not be broken for ten thousand years, and the people of Yongzhou will always be blessed with good weather, peace and joy. The true God is immeasurably merciful, praising the true God and worshipping the true God. ”

"The true God is immeasurably merciful, praising and worshipping the true God. ”

All the people of Yongzhou gathered around also praised in unison. Although in front of Cheng Li and them, these Yongzhou people were trembling and fearful. But in the end, there is no one who will not open his mouth to praise the gods out of fear.

Cheng Li's expression was solemn, and he looked back at the Bodhisattva and asked, "Miss Rou, what do you think?"

The Bodhisattva smiled, stretched out his hand to help a Yongzhou citizen who was about fifty years old to help him up, and asked softly, "Uncle, what do you mean, did the true god come here just now and turn these people into stone statues?"

The Bodhisattva was kind and soft-spoken. Plus the people are also beautiful. The Yongzhou people also let down their guard because of this. Cautiously replied, "Yes." That's it. ”

The Bodhisattva Man asked again, "What about now, where is the true God?"

The Yongzhou common man said with a pious expression: "After the true god finishes his work, of course he will go back." ”

Xiaoqing anxiously asked, "Go back, where are you going back, and have you flown to the sky?"

The Yongzhou man shook his head and said, "It's not to go back to heaven. The Master has said that the true God is with us. So the true god is in the city of Yongzhou, in the temple in the city. ”

The Bodhisattva said with a pleasant face: "I see. So uncle, we also want to worship the true God, can we?"

The old man in Yongzhou was dumbfounded, and stammered: "You...... Do you want to worship the true God?" for a moment, it was full of unbelievable and unbelievable.

Not only the old man, but even the ordinary people next to him reacted in much the same way. Because in their minds, they have long regarded Cheng Li and others as enemies of the true God, and the two positions are like fire and water, and they cannot stand side by side. Isn't it a joke that the Bodhisattva says that he wants to worship the true God?

But the Bodhisattva didn't tell a joke. She's definitely serious. Then he repeated it softly. The old man from Yongzhou woke up like a dream, and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes." If you are sincere and repentant of your sins to the true God, then the true God is merciful and will forgive you. ”

Xiaoqing's mouth pursed, and he blurted out: "Who wants to ......"

As soon as she said two words, Cheng Li had already reached out and pressed her mouth to prevent her from speaking. Then he said, "It's good to go and see." If it is the true God who leads people to goodness, protects the people, and blesses the locality, then it is also appropriate to offer two sticks of incense and two prostrations to Him. ”

Since Cheng Li also said so, those Yongzhou people naturally have nothing to say. At that moment, more than a dozen local elders with high moral standing were selected to guide Cheng Li and the other three as guides to the temple dedicated to the true god.

In fact, the so-called temple dedicated to the true god is a must-have temple in every city. In other words, it used to be the City God Temple. But any city god temple in the whole world, in terms of magnificence and splendor, is far inferior to this one in Yongzhou City. Obviously, after Paijiao took over this City God Temple, he spent a lot of real money to renovate it.

Retrofitting is all-encompassing. From the outside, nothing is missing. The most important part of this, of course, is the idol of the deity enshrined in the main hall. Originally, the statue of the old man of the city god had been knocked down a long time ago, and I don't know where it was lost. In its place, there is a life-size statue of the guardian god who is half human and half snake.

The image of the statue is similar to the picture that the Bodhisattva took out and displayed before. The statue is in the form of a wild and beautiful woman. Below the waist, it is a terrifying python. Countless poisonous snakes that danced red like flames formed the fiery red hair of the true god. One on both hands, one long and one short, each holding the sub-knife and the mother knife of the glazed treasure knife. Glass beads are set on the chest.

Despite having seen the drawings. But the statue is noticeably more vivid. The impression on the viewer is also more profound. Merely......

The people of Yongzhou have praised the mercy and greatness of the true God. However, when Cheng Li walked into the main hall of the temple, what he saw was a group of slaughter. What you feel in the statue is only the ruthlessness that overflows, and there is only the ruthlessness of killing decisively, where is there half a point of mercy?

Xiao Qing also frowned and said in a low voice, "This statue ...... It feels weird. ”

Cheng Li asked in a low voice, "What's the blame?"

Xiao Qing stared at the statue intently, and after a long time, she finally shook her head and said dejectedly: "I can't remember." After the Great War of Jinshan Temple, I was seriously injured and could only heal myself from a deep sleep. This sleep is almost 300 years. When I woke up, I forgot a lot of things. ”

Cheng Li nodded and said, "It's not strange. It is a biological self-protection mechanism. Maybe if you encounter any strong stimulation in the future, you can think of it when you have a chance. Since it can't be done now, there is no need to force it. ”

The two of them talked to each other, and their voices were extremely low. The Bodhisattva Man stood a little farther away, staring at the idol intently, so he didn't seem to notice that Cheng Li and Xiaoqing were whispering.

At this time, the temple priest came over and said, "Three, please offer incense to the true god, and then bow down and repent." As long as you are sincere and willing to repent and convert, the true God is merciful and will forgive you and protect you. Whatever you ask, God can help you to make it happen. ”

"Oh, this weird-looking god still has such a great ability to help people achieve any wish?"

The arrogant and arrogant sneer did not come from Cheng Li, Xiaoqing, or Bodhisattva Man, but from outside the gate of the main hall.

Immediately afterwards, I saw two people pacing side by side into the main hall. But it was a man and a woman. Feminine temperament is noble, dignified and beautiful. The man is heroic, tall and burly. It is the leader of the Golden Dragon Gang, who swallows the world Li Yanzhou and his wife Song Shirong. However, both of them have a weathered color. Obviously, they have not had a comfortable life since then.

Xiaoqing was overjoyed, stepped forward to take Song Shirong's hand, and shouted affectionately, "Sister Song, are you here too?"

Song Shirong smiled at them gently and said, "Well, it's here." Xiaoqing, you won't be welcome, right?"

Xiaoqing smiled slightly awkwardly and did not answer. In all fairness, she certainly didn't want anyone else to come over and participate in the discovery of the Serpent's secrets. But as far as personal relations are concerned, she really can't say this sentence of rejecting Song Shirong. So I had no choice but to laugh and count.

Li Yanzhou strode over, stretched out his hand and patted Cheng Li on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't come to harm?"

Cheng Li said: "Naturally, it is fine. Brother Li, it seems that your physical condition is no longer in serious trouble. ”

In the battle of Perak Hall in Hangzhou that day, Li Yanzhou was once plotted so that he was poisoned. Later, thanks to Cheng Li's action and the power of the third awakening to help drive away the poison, Li Yanzhou was able to pick up a life.

However, the toxin has always stayed in the body for a period of time, and the damage caused to the five organs and meridians cannot be recovered immediately. But now that he is seeing each other in another place, Li Yanzhou's face is as usual, although he has the color of wind and frost, he is not haggard. It seems that most of them have been cured.

Li Yanzhou said with a smile: "The Golden Dragon Gang has no other advantages, and it is better to have a rich family background. What hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng, what formed Polygonum multiflori, what snow-capped mountain poria cocos and other medicinal materials, all of them are many. I found another famous doctor and refined these medicinal materials into a furnace of 'Little Wuji Dan'. After taking four pills in a row, the natural medicine was cured. Well, here's the rest of the elixir. Brother, if you accept it, you will be the eldest brother to repay you for saving your life. ”

While speaking, Li Yanzhou took out a flat wooden box from his arms and opened it. But there were twelve pits in the box, and four of them were empty. There are also eight pits, each with eight finger-sized pills.

Four of the pills were red and the other four were black. Each exudes a very faint, very faint, if there is no aroma. Just inhale a wisp slightly, and it will teach people to feel comfortable and refreshed. You don't have to really swallow it, you know that this must be the best medicine worth a thousand gold.
