Chapter Twenty-Three: The Spirit of the Divine Beast
The bronze sculpture in front of him looks like two majestic tigers, but if you look closely, there are dragon characteristics, like a dragon and a tiger.
"Prison, statue, this can't be the legendary 狴犴 (bì-àn), right?"
This guess suddenly popped up in Su Cheng's mind.
One of the nine sons of the legendary dragon, the fox looks like a tiger, and its love of litigation has its statues on both sides of the prison gate and the official office, which can increase the majesty of the prison and make the criminals fearful.
Legend has it that he is anxious for justice and righteousness, and he can distinguish between right and wrong, judge impartially, and his image is majestic.
Now this statue is looking around at the Dali Temple Prison, maintaining the solemn and righteous atmosphere of this side!
The nine sons of the dragon are respectively the prisoner cow, the Jianhui, the mocking wind, the Pu prison, the fox, the cunning, the negative, and the kiss, and the fierce is ranked seventh, and the one who hates crime the most.
It just so happened that Su Cheng's divine consciousness had fully recovered, so he leaned out his divine sense and wanted to see the hidden places of the two statues in all directions.
As soon as the divine consciousness touched the statue of the fox, the two statues seemed to come to life, and their mouths opened wide and let out a powerful roar!
"Whew!"
The power of the dragon and tiger instantly rushed into the sea of Su Cheng's knowledge.
Less than a day after opening up the sea of knowledge, Su Cheng's eyes were dark, and his body almost lost control.
"Oops, it's too big!"
He secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he just grabbed a soul, how could he provoke such a fierce divine beast.
It is said that the raccoon hates crime the most, but he just killed someone and hit the muzzle of the gun directly.
The statue actually has such magical powers, no wonder the Dali Temple Prison can't give birth to ghosts, all of them are devoured by the statue!
In the sea of knowledge, the two fierce spirits kept making waves, stirring up Su Cheng's consciousness space.
The Ecstasy Dafa has no effect at all, only the little gourd is still trying to calm the fluctuations of the sea of knowledge.
"No matter, if it continues like this, the soul will be torn apart, look at the little gourd!"
Su Cheng poured all his divine consciousness into the small gourd, wanting to suppress the two fierce spirits.
The little gourd projected a crimson beam of light in the sea of consciousness to bind them firmly, and he wanted to take it back but couldn't catch it, only blaming Su Cheng's divine sense strength for not being enough.
"It is said that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, but they have to try it once!"
There were huge waves in the sea of consciousness, and he directly overdrew his divine sense, and used it to urge the little gourd with all his might, pulling the two fierce spirits closer and closer to the mouth of the gourd.
It seems that the fox has no intelligence, everything seems to act instinctively, roaring and screaming to break free, but it is of no use.
When the mouth of the gourd was closed, the small gourd began to shake violently, and there was no external force to help in this refining process!
Su Cheng felt that he was already a waste cat, leaning against the statue and panting.
He only hoped that the little gourd was the magic weapon he guessed, otherwise he really couldn't help this kind of existence.
Without the help of soul power, he looked up at the stars and crescent moon in the sky, and began to try to attract the power of Yuehua to fight with the stars of the heavens.
A faint moonlight shrouded the black cat, and the pure power slowly smoothed out the damage in its soul, and refilled the dry sea of consciousness little by little, but at a very slow speed.
It may not be able to fully recover overnight, and it can't compare to the speed of devouring souls!
The statue was too conspicuous, and he killed another official, and after regaining his mobility, Su Cheng slipped into the woods not far away, and climbed to the slightly open treetops to lie down.
The gourd in the sea of knowledge has not shaken, and the strength of the fierce spirit to resist is getting smaller and smaller.
At sunrise, that pure soul power also gushed out from the mouth of the gourd, not only repairing the tiny cracks on Su Cheng's divine soul, but also beginning to fill the pond-sized sea of consciousness, and at the same time expanding in all directions!
A rumbling thunder sounded from the sky above the sea of consciousness, the space of consciousness expanded rapidly, and Su Cheng's head began to swell faintly.
"It's not good, the sea is expanding too fast, and the body can't keep up!"
He hurriedly ran the Ecstasy Dafa, trying his best to compress the sea of consciousness and slow down its expansion.
After all, those soul powers were not cultivated by himself, so it was more difficult to control, and now he used the Ecstasy Dafa as a grinding plate, and little by little he broke and reorganized the soul power fed back by the gourd, turning it into something that belonged to his own sea of knowledge.
However, the soul power brought by the spirit of the two-headed fierce beast was too much, and the cultivation speed of the Ecstasy Dafa could not catch up with the speed of gourd refining at all, and the swelling in the head was getting stronger and stronger!
Su Cheng didn't care about cultivating, he simply began to construct the illusion that he couldn't complete last night, at least that illusion could consume soul power greatly.
It's too difficult to become a big fat man in one bite, and it is directly supported.
Fortunately, the soul power required for the illusion in front of him was very amazing, and it gradually eased his senses.
There were still some memory fragments in the soul power, and Su Cheng simply understood the truth of the matter.
It turns out that these two bronze sculptures were carved in the early Tang Dynasty, and they have been standing outside the prison of Dali Temple for hundreds of years, and they are worshiped and feared by the jailers and criminals every day, and gradually produce a spirit!
In other words, these two spirits are not really left over from ancient divine beasts, but are worshiped by people's incense. These two spirits have always occupied the soul of Dali Temple Prison, so they will become stronger and stronger.
If it goes on for a long time, maybe the bronze sculpture can become a demon.
In ancient times, many yokai were born in this way.
He has the appearance of a fierce man, but his strength is very weak.
Su Cheng was a little afraid at this time, if he really had something to do with the dragon, I was afraid that he would have already exploded, and it would be useless to have a small gourd!
"You can't be so reckless next time, you have to be cautious."
After listening to the words of the demon cat white dragon before, Su Cheng relaxed a lot around him, thinking that after the dragon vein was cut off, there were not many things that could threaten him.
Coupled with the murder on the street, the anger in his heart skyrocketed, and he seemed to think that human beings were just like this, and there was an illusion that he looked down on the world.
Reality taught him a huge lesson!
Even if the monks do not go out of the mountain, there are still many dangerous places and things, and they must not be taken lightly.
"Fortunately, this time it was a meeting spirit, and it just so happened that the little gourd could help. If you come across something that isn't a ghost or a ghost, it's a problem. When it should be obscene, it still has to be obscene, and it should be low-key or low-key. ”
The water in this world is too deep, a spoon can become a spirit, and a pair of bronze sculptures can give birth to the spirit of a divine beast.
Opportunities always coexist with dangers, although there are these dangers, but as long as you are careful enough and have the strength to support, you will always get enough benefits!
Now Su Cheng's eyes are on the little gourd in the sea of his knowledge, and today he relies on it to turn the tide.
The crimson appearance can absorb and refine the soul, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the legendary soul gourd.
But that is the legendary innate spirit treasure, containing infinite red sand, overwhelming, can disperse people's souls, how can a little demon like himself be driven?
"Whether it is a soul gourd or not, it is mine now, and no one can snatch it!"
