Chapter 60: The White Jade Immortal City (I)
Purify the soul and sing through the heavens, wake up the fairy song of the white jade city.
This requiem was obtained by Hongwu from the temple back then, this song can purify the soul energy and help the improvement of the soul realm, Wukong Kong naturally knows that Hongwu must have learned the requiem.
And the souls of the monks are tainted at the moment, and the Requiem is just enough to restrain these ghost viruses and free all the monks from the fate of other control.
"Thank you, Grand Priest, for saving your life, and we will obey your orders. ”
The monks who were saved by the Requiem expressed their gratitude to Hongwu and showed their loyalty.
"There is no need to be polite, you are all under the orders of my holy family, and it is only natural that you should protect everyone thoroughly. When he said this, Hongwu had a lot of turmoil in his heart, you must know that tens of thousands of monks had just been attacked by the illusion and suffered heavy casualties, and now only these thousands of monks are still left, if they can't protect the lives of these monks, I am afraid that if they still enter the temple, they will already die. At that time, even he could not bear the wrath of the gods.
"I'm really not ashamed, so many people have died, and I don't know how you protect it~" Wukong, who was standing beside Hongwu, muttered in a low voice.
Although Hongwu heard Wukong's empty words, he had no intention of arguing, after all, in the face of the illusion attack, even he was deeply trapped and couldn't extricate himself. He also has a certain responsibility for failing to protect the lives of these monks.
"Empty boss, don't blame him. In the face of the illusion attack, aren't you also deeply trapped~ Hongwu's predecessor is not as strong as you, how can you protect the lives of other monks when the illusion attack comes?" "Hongwu's predecessor had a one-sided friendship with Fang Xingchen, and he also received some benefits from Hongwu, so he naturally had a very good impression of Hongwu. Therefore, Fang Xingchen should say two good words for Hongwu.
"That's the same, cough~" Hearing what Fang Xingchen said, Hongwu said with some embarrassment.
After the monks came to their senses, everyone began to discuss the many things that could be harmed in the ancient Shinto. However, since the outbreak of the ghost virus, the ancient Shinto has regained its tranquility for a long time, and all the monks have been in the ancient Shinto for a long time, and have not found any other dangers.
"I didn't expect the road behind this to go so smoothly, according to the prohibitions of many institutions in the ancient Shinto, it shouldn't be like this~" Looking at the unusually calm ancient Shinto in front of him, Wukong Kong was a little puzzled.
"Is it that the prohibition of the mechanism has been broken by someone~ Otherwise, how could it be so calm along the way, except for the invasion of the ghost virus. In the face of such an abnormal phenomenon, Fang Xingchen was also deeply puzzled, he didn't understand the Ancient Divine Dao, except for the ghost virus attack at the beginning, there was nothing abnormal in the following journey.
However, this kind of calm also made Fang Xingchen feel a lot more at ease. Otherwise, he always pays attention to Ruan Lingyu's personal safety, because any abnormal phenomenon may take Ruan Lingyu's life.
Ever since these monks returned to normal, they have been following the orders of Hongwu to go deep into the ancient Shinto. Along the way, Hongwu and the gray-haired old man Tong Cong walked at the front, the monks opened the way, and Fang Xingchen and Wukong walked at the back of the crowd.
"Mist, so familiar mist, could it be that this is ~" With the continuous progress of everyone, a thin mist gradually appeared on the ancient Shinto, and the energy components contained in these fogs made Wukong somewhat extremely familiar.
From the composition of this mist, Wukong can be sure that it must have leaked out of the temple, after all, he has been trapped in the temple for tens of thousands of years, and he is extremely sensitive and familiar with the various mysterious powers of the temple.
"Is it the fog in the temple?" From Wukong's tone, Fang Xingchen guessed the meaning he wanted to express.
"That's right, you're guessing exactly, we're probably going to be inside the temple area soon. You must listen to me when you go in, or you will die a miserable death. Wukong didn't say this, he was not alarmist, he was extremely familiar with all kinds of horrors in the temple.
In Wukong's eyes, the thousands of monks in front of him were already dead, and the strength of Hongwu and the gray-haired old man could not protect the lives of these monks at all. But if these monks had done his bidding, there might have been some hope of survival. It's just that what obligation does he have to care about the safety of the lives of these monks~
"As long as the safety of the three of them can be guaranteed, everything is subject to the arrangement of the empty boss~" With Wukong's guarantee, Fang Xingchen's hanging heart finally let go a lot. After all, Wukong has lived in the temple for more than 10,000 years, and his understanding of the temple is estimated to have reached the peak of perfection.
"No problem, the lives of the three of them, I feel responsible. But your life is safe~ I don't have to worry about it. As for the reason, you yourself should know better than me~hahaha~" Wukong said with a smile, as if he knew some of Fang Xingchen's secrets.
"Hahaha~ The empty boss laughed, I will definitely obey your arrangement and ensure the safety of my life. From Wukong's empty eyes, Fang Xingchen also guessed that the other party might know some of his abilities, but he also meant to hide it, so it didn't matter if he just let the other party know something.
"Then follow up with me~ By the way, I have also finished interpreting the snake people exercises on this snake skin scroll, and I will exchange it for you. While talking to Fang Xingchen, Wukong Kong had already interpreted all the exercises of the snake human race and handed them over to Fang Xingchen.
"It's great, let's rest where we are before we go. After getting the snakeskin scroll handed over to him by Wukong, Fang Xingchen was ecstatic to check the contents.
Through the interpretation information given by Wukong Kong in the snakeskin scroll, Fang Xingchen knew that this cultivation exercise was actually an exercise that could be practiced by both the snake and human races, and it was called the Source Spirit Heart Sutra. Practicing this exercise can increase the accumulation of life energy, so that the cultivator can have an extremely long lifespan.
After understanding the cultivation content of the Source Spirit Heart Sutra, Fang Xingchen called Ruan Lingyu to a place far away from the crowd and went outside to teach Ruan Lingyu the cultivation techniques therein.
"You try to feel the energy working, as described above. At the same time, I will input life energy for you to help you open up the energy circulation channel. After carefully studying the snakeskin scroll, Fang Xingchen carefully explained the details of the exercises on the snakeskin scroll for Ruan Lingyu, and tried to assist Ruan Lingyu in establishing an energy circulation path for cultivating this exercise.
At the same time that Fang Xingchen assisted Ruan Lingyu in cultivating the Source Spirit Heart Sutra, Hongwu and the gray-haired old man Tong Cong had already led the monks to the depths of the mist. From the location of Fang Xingchen and Ruan Lingyu, it was no longer possible to see where the monks were.
At this moment, Hongwu and the gray-haired old man Tong Cong had been shocked by the scene in front of them, and even Hongwu, who had been to the temple before, felt a little incredible.
"The previous temple, obviously there were no such magnificent and gorgeous building groups, where did they come from~" Hongwu couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. However, in addition to his doubts, the old man who saw everything in front of him through his eyes was also confused.
