Chapter 314: One-armed Guanyin Temple
Xia Qing soared all the way, but Qingniu City was too far away to arrive before dark. Fortunately, before nightfall, I followed the fleeing demon beast to a Guanyin temple.
The entire Guanyin Temple was crowded, and to Xia Qing's surprise, in addition to all kinds of demon beasts, there were nearly a hundred men and women, old people in their seventies and eighties, and babies who had just been born, and it seemed that they were natives living nearby. Xia Qing remembered that there was a small village nearby. In the vast Wuzhou, there are many such villages, and people often live in the villages during the day and take refuge in the ancient temples at night. After all, many ancient temples were built in remote and steep places, and it was inconvenient to live.
Seeing Xia Qing suddenly walk in, riding a goat, followed by Hai Beili with wings on her back, the crowd was a little commotionous and obviously uneasy. Fortunately, an old man stood up and said something to silence people.
"Come, young man. The old man beckoned, motioning for the people next to him to squeeze in, making way for Xia Qing and Hai Beili to make a place.
"Xia Qing passed by your land and was offended. ”
Xia Qing arched his hand, walked over and sat down in the crowd.
"Young man, your surname is Xia?" the old man was a little surprised, and glanced Xia Qing up and down.
"Yes, in the summer of summer, the blue sky is green, a sheep herder, and he grew up in Beacon Hill since he was a child. Xia Qing smiled, in the recent war in Yan Kingdom, many people in Yan Kingdom moved to Wuzhou to avoid trouble, basically all know Xia Wangfu, and it is normal to be very curious about the surname Xia.
"Okay, this surname is good, basically, this is the oldest clan in Wuzhou. It is said that everyone with the surname Xia is not simple, and the life character is naturally much higher than the average person!" the old man said.
It was Xia Qing's turn to be surprised, "Oh, there is such a thing? There are also people surnamed Xia in Wuzhou?"
"Of course there is! There are some tribes in the depths of Wuzhou who are all surnamed Xia, and legend has it that they are all descendants of the Gu Immortal Kingdom, and there are transcendent masters in almost every era!" The old man looked at Xia Qing's hands carefully, not quite like he grew up herding sheep, and he didn't say anything, and continued meaningfully: "Unlike our Tianlong tribe, what kind of Tianlong descendants are it, but generation after generation is more mediocre, and they are all about to be completely wiped out, alas......"
The old man let out a long sigh and looked at the people around him, looking lonely.
Tianlong Clan? Xia Qing's heart moved, and he vaguely remembered that he had heard that this tribe had been mentioned, and there were many masters, so he asked respectfully: "Senior, I don't know what you should call it?"
"Hehe, what a senior, just eat the old man of the mountains and fields waiting for death, just call me the old man of Tianlong. As soon as I die, I am afraid that the Tianlong tribe will be completely dispersed, and no one wants to be the patriarch, and no one wants to stick to the tradition and continue to stay in the remote village, alas...... , God wants to destroy the Tianlong tribe, there is no way. The old man of Tianlong looked depressed, and his cloudy eyes contained deep helplessness and worry. The times have become too fast, the Tianlong clan is declining more and more, and in a few years, I am afraid that there will really be no one.
Xia Qing was silent, not knowing how to answer.
As the sky grew darker, a terrible poisonous mist rolled in, taking on the role of the master of the night. In the distance, there were several wails of unknown demon beasts, and all the creatures who had no time to hide were all eroded into white bones by the poisonous mist.
The crowd was a little panicked, some children cried, and parents rushed to comfort them. After a long while, the inside of the Guanyin Temple calmed down, and the statue emitted a faint white light, isolating the terrible poisonous mist from the temple. During the day, the temple is remote and difficult to walk, surrounded by either cliffs or bitter cold, and even weeds cannot grow, but at night, it becomes a shelter for people to escape disasters, and fireworks are constantly burning all year round.
Xia Qing looked up, and at this time he found that the Guanyin enshrined in the temple was a little special, with only one arm, and a one-person-long ring-headed knife in his hand, with a grim face. It looks like the enshrinement is not like a Guanyin, but like a Buddhist female King Kong who specializes in killing demons.
Weird!
There are really a lot of strange things in Wuzhou, and there are all kinds of temples!
Xia Qing muttered secretly in his heart, he had never seen such a strange statue of Guanyin.
"Xia Gongzi, this is the one-armed Guanyin, specializing in restraining all darkness and evil, and killing all demons and evil ways. ”
The old man of Tianlong seemed to know what Xia Qing was thinking, and continued to explain in a low voice, "It is rumored that Guanyin Bodhisattva originally had three thousand arms and three thousand incarnations, each of which was different. The one-armed Guanyin in front of him is one of them, drowning 3,000 only take a scoop, claiming that 3,000 arms are not needed to kill demons, one is enough, so people call it one-armed Guanyin. ”
"I see. Xia Qing nodded, and suddenly there was a hint of realization in his heart.
In the world, there are more kinds of exercises, and the more people in the world, the better, and they are eager to learn all the exercises and supernatural powers;
Instead of mastering the three thousand supernatural powers, it is better to concentrate on cultivating only one of them and cultivating it to the extreme!
Looking at the one-arm of the Guanyin statue, Xia Qing's heart was touched. I don't know if it's an illusion or what, the moment of epiphany in my heart, I feel that the one-armed Guanyin statue seems to be smiling at itself, and the smile is a little weird.
"Huh......"
Xia Qing rubbed her eyes, feeling strange in her heart.
The old man of Tianlong also seemed to notice something, and before he had time to ask more, there was a sudden rustling sound outside the temple. It sounded like someone was walking in the dark, and the poisonous mist in the sky rolled up, frantically slapping the Guanyin Temple shrouded in white light. A few children who finally quieted down couldn't help but cry again, and everyone's faces were tense, worried that the Guanyin Temple would not be able to stop the terrible poisonous mist, or that some evil would suddenly rush out of the poisonous mist. Even the demon beasts that had gathered in the temple for refuge became terrified, and shrank into the corners one by one.
Xia Qing also frowned, secretly holding the hilt of Dugu's sword, urging the inner fire power of his body to brew a fatal blow. In the entire temple, only the one-armed angel Hai Beili's face remained unchanged, her face was as indifferent and cold as usual, and it seemed that she would always have this blessed expression, quietly guarding Xia Qing's side.
"Who? Who's out there?"
Old Man Tianlong stood up and summoned up the courage to ask loudly.
No one answered, and the rustling disappeared, and just as the people were secretly relieved, the rustling suddenly became urgent, and then, a tall black shadow rushed into the temple of Guanyin, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. Behind him, followed by the men in black in the same costume, one, two...... Soon, a full nine people appeared in front of the people and walked in from the darkness shrouded in poisonous fog.
The people of the Tianlong clan panicked, some people trembled with fright, and Xia Qing also gasped.
At night, you can walk around in the wild in Wuzhou, not afraid of the erosion of poisonous fog, which is a magical power only available to a great master at the level of Ouyang Liuchuan. One is already terrifying enough, nine of them came at once, who are they? Like Ouyang Liuchuan, they are all night wanderers who come out of the night by day, or are they ......
Xia Qingmei's heart was beating, and there were bursts of palpitations.
