Chapter 55: The Temple
Then he used his fan to fan a hurricane and lifted the wisteria python alive, and then he took the opportunity to slash it into two pieces with his fan, and then a large stream of blood dispersed in the direction of Gu Po.
At this time, Gu Po was still a little stunned, and didn't understand Bai Xiaoyan's intention of this move, at this time, Bai Xiaoyan quickly flew towards her, and Gu Po hurriedly used the Ten Thousand Insect Nest to manipulate the poisonous insects around her to resist the attack for herself, but she didn't expect those insects to start killing each other under the lure of blood, and they were out of her control for a while.
Bai Xiaoyan showed no mercy and hit Gu Po's chest with a heavy move, and then snatched the ten thousand insect nest in her hand.
Because Bai Xiaoyan didn't know how to use the Ten Thousand Insect Nest, all the poisonous insects below were out of control for a while, and they began to walk through the valley indiscriminately, and a few poisonous insects even surrounded Gu Po, apparently trying to eat her.
Bai Xiaoyan knew that it was not the time for her to die, so she hurriedly flew down to save her, and then they escorted Gu Po all the way to the outside of Guli Village, and seeing that she was about to enter the village, Gu Po suddenly stopped.
Then a lot of black worms crawled out of her eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and then her body fell to the ground like an empty skin.
It turned out that this Gu woman gave up her life after being caught by Bai Xiaoyan, she took advantage of the two of them to swallow some Gu worms inattention, and on the way back, those Gu worms ate her internal organs little by little, and her body had become an empty shell at this moment.
In desperation, Cao Xiaoyang had no choice but to take out the crystal treasure box and plan to absorb the power of the Yin Seal on her body, but the strange thing was that the treasure box did not react at all at this time.
Cao Xiaoyang was very surprised and said, "Doesn't she have the power of Yin Xi on her body?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman's laughter suddenly sounded behind him, and the voice sounded familiar.
"Of course she doesn't, that kind of power is not something anyone can have. ”
Cao Xiaoyang turned around and found that it was actually Zhang Yulan standing there, and Gu Po's ten thousand insect nest somehow got into her hands.
Cao Xiaoyang was suddenly shocked. "Could it be that the power of the Yin Seal is in your body!"
Zhang Yulan smiled slightly and said, "How can I have something that Gu Po can't have." ”
At this time, Cao Xiaoyang raised the crystal treasure box to her, it still did not react, Cao Xiaoyang was a little stunned all of a sudden, it was obviously this treasure box that took them to Sanhe Village before, and then they tracked Zhang Yulan to Guli Village, and now Gu Po and Zhang Yulan are here, but the treasure box shows that they do not have the power of Yin Xi on their bodies, which is really incredible.
If they don't have the power of the Yin Seal, then who put the poisonous miasma that can hurt ghosts before? Cao Xiaoyang wanted to ask Zhang Yulan some more questions, but then she held the Ten Thousand Insect Nest and said with a smile: "Thank you two for helping me get such an important thing, we will meet later." ”
As she spoke, a cloud of white smoke rose beside her, and then she disappeared with it.
With a lot of doubts, Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan returned to Guli Village, thinking that since Gu Po had no way to cure Tang Wenwen, they had to take her back to the Linglou as soon as possible, and then ask the Yin Si of the Nether for help.
But after returning to the room where Tang Wenwen lived, they were surprised to find that Tang Wenwen was gone, and after questioning the villagers, they learned that Tang Wenwen's room had been locked after they left, and no one had entered it.
In this way, Tang Wenwen seemed to have evaporated from the world, Cao Xiaoyang originally guessed that Tang Wenwen was too seriously injured and had lost her soul, but at this time he found a note on Tang Wenwen's bed, which read "See you in Wushan", and there was a pattern similar to a flame behind the word.
This pattern Cao Xiaoyang had seen before, and it was exactly the same as the pattern on the forehead of the Miao girl Chi Xiaoyue before.
Cao Xiaoyang remembered that Chi Xiaoyue had said that she was a villager of Guli Village, but he hadn't seen her since he came here, and he was too flustered because of Tang Wenwen's affairs before, and he didn't care about this detail for a while, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that something is too wrong.
So he immediately asked the people in the village about Chi Xiaoyue, but was told that there was no surname "Chi" in the village at all, the surname Chi is a very ancient surname, and legend has it that the art of witchcraft originated from their clan, and later due to Miao Jiang's vigorous ban on witch Gu, this ancient clan has already disappeared a hundred years ago.
Cao Xiaoyang was immediately stunned, thinking that it was really her who captured Tang Wenwen?
At this time, Bai Xiaoyan said to Cao Xiaoyang: "Since Gu Po and Zhang Yulan don't have the power of Yin Seal on their bodies, you can now use the treasure box to locate the location of that power." ”
Cao Xiaoyang did so, and then found that the location of the treasure box was actually the same place as what was written on the note, Wushan, that is to say, Chi Xiaoyue may be the carrier of the power of the Yin Seal.
Because they were really worried about Tang Wenwen's safety, Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan went to the Wushan area.
Wushan is located in the southwest of Sichuan and Shu, also belongs to the mountain range, the mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist almost all year round, in ancient times there was a poem that "once the sea was difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud".
Because this place is too remote, Cao Xiaoyang and Bai Xiaoyan walked in the mountains all day without seeing any people, until they arrived at a mountainside area, they saw a building, which was a temple built on the edge of a mountain cliff.
Because it was getting late at that time, Cao Xiaoyang was very tired from traveling for days, so he planned to rest in the temple for one night.
After approaching, they found that although this temple was large, there was not even a monk in it, and the statues enshrined in it were also very strange, not Buddha statues or Bodhisattvas, but some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the nether realm.
Among them, there are ten halls of Yama, black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, and the pen judge, and even Yang Yun among the five ghost emperors is also among them.
The shape of these statues is very strange, all of them are bloated, their eyes are like copper bells, their hair is like red flames, and the expressions on their faces are fierce and vicious, not so much that this is the yin of the underworld, but rather that they look like evil ghosts in the eighteen layers of hell.
Cao Xiaoyang pointed to Yang Yun's statue and said to Bai Xiaoyan, "Old Bai, is this guy you, why does this look so unrestrained, hahaha." ”
Bai Xiaoyan frowned and said, "There is nothing abnormal about the worship of ghosts and gods in this temple, but it seems to have ulterior motives for deliberately scandalizing the image of Yin Si. ”
Speaking of this, Cao Xiaoyang also felt a little strange, this broken temple enshrined almost all the Yin Si who could be called famous in the Netherworld, but there was no one of the most important ones, Emperor Xudu.
It's like a big temple where all the gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas of the Western Elysium are enshrined, but there is no Buddha, which is really unusual.
But because Cao Xiaoyang was already tired and exhausted at the moment, he really didn't have the heart to think about these things anymore, so he stuffed some dry food into his stomach at random, and then fell asleep on a few futons in the temple.
Bai Xiaoyan sat cross-legged next to him, closing his eyes and resting.
I don't know how long he slept, Cao Xiaoyang suddenly heard a voice calling him, he slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was on a street paved with bluestone slabs, flanked by various ancient attic buildings, these attics hung a lot of red lanterns, because the light of the environment was very dark, these lanterns illuminated everything around them red.
Cao Xiaoyang walked along the stone street little by little, and met many strange pedestrians, dressed in strange costumes, with their heads bowed, and covering their faces with red cloths.
They walked slowly and on tiptoe, as if they were floating on the ground from a distance.
Cao Xiaoyang walked along the street for a while, and a gate appeared in front of him, and when he opened the gate, he saw that there was actually a vast mountain field outside the door, and there was a long red river shrouded in mist in the mountains, and there were many blood-red flowers blooming by the river.
Seeing this scene, Cao Xiaoyang suddenly remembered, isn't this the Lethe River he had seen outside the city?
