Styx Domain.

One of the Thirteen Realms of the Six Netherworlds.

The rivers of sin and blood and the cities of death, which have been regarded as the forbidden places of great murder since ancient times, are all distributed in this vast and vast territory.

The climate of the Styx region is extremely harsh, and the aura of heaven and earth is mixed and chaotic, and it is also regarded as the "domain of sin".

The reason is that in this vast territory, demons are rampant, and the power of evil ways is prosperous.

Southeast of the Styx region, Thousand Snake Mountain.

As night approached, the sky was overcast, thunder was turbulent, and a torrential rain poured down.

The rain was swift, mixed with a faint gloomy atmosphere.

Halfway up the Thousand Snake Mountain, there is a temple, which has long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

At this time, there was a bonfire burning in the main hall.

The light of the fire dispelled the darkness and reflected on the walls on both sides of the main hall, where it was clearly visible that the original portraits of the Buddha were depicted.

But perhaps because of age, the wall paintings are worn and faded.

In the center of the main hall, there is a clay Buddha statue.

The Buddha statue has three heads and six arms, sits on the lotus platform, and the treasure is solemn.

It's just that the Buddha statue has long been seriously damaged, and even some of its arms have been broken.

By the bonfire, Su Yi sat in the rattan chair, looking out of the hall.

Ancient temples in the wilderness, the night rain is pouring, and occasionally there is a dull thunder, which makes the heavens and the earth shake, and the mountains and rivers are staggering.

The torrential rain hit the eaves, and there was a dense tumbling sound, and gusts of mountain wind blew, blowing the windows of the hall and creaking.

Yuxue perched on the side of the main hall, gazing at the collapsed and faded murals of the Buddha.

The girl has loose hair, a leisurely demeanor, a slender waist, a plain long skirt, a beautiful facial features, and an innate majesty when she looks forward to her eyebrows.

Halfway through, Youxue retracted her gaze and said softly: "Fellow Daoist, the Buddha on these portraits should be the rumored 'Eighteen Garan Dharma Protectors', right?" ”

As she spoke, she came straight to the bonfire on Su Yi's side and sat casually on a futon.

"Not bad."

Su Yi nodded, "In the Styx region, every three hundred miles, there must be a Garan Temple, and the temple enshrines the Garan Buddha statue of the Buddha Gate. ”

"A long time ago, the Buddhist power of the Garan Temple was a veritable top-level Taoist system, and when those Buddhist cultivators entered the Garan Temple to practice, they all made a great wish, hell is not empty, and they vowed not to become Buddhas, and they were determined to eradicate the demons and monsters in the Styx region, and return the world to a bright future."

"It's a pity that as early as when I was in the netherworld, I heard that the Garan Temple had suffered a catastrophe and disappeared from the world."

Speaking of this, Su Yi took a sip of wine, "In the years after the absence of the Garan Temple, the Styx region gradually became the entrenchment of evil forces, and became the world of demons and evil people, and until now, this situation has not changed. ”

You Xue couldn't help but be surprised, "Since the Garan Temple is a top-level Dao system, what kind of calamity should it suffer before it will be destroyed in the world?" ”

Su Yi said: "It is said that the Jialan Temple originally planned to destroy the city of vain death, but on the night of the Ten Thousand Lights Festival, it was hit by all kinds of strange and terrifying forces and was destroyed. ”

Youxue was stunned and said: "The place in the city of the dead in vain, as early as the ancient times, was one of the most vicious forbidden places in the netherworld, and the Garan Temple actually tried to destroy the city of the dead in vain, this is really ......"

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Su Yi said: "If you know that you can't do it, you will be brave if you succeed, and you will be stupid if you fail." Anyway, Garan Temple though

It is long since perished, but they have vowed to eradicate the evil in the world and act for it, and this alone is still worthy of admiration. ”

Yuxue nodded.

One side of Buddhism, with the responsibility of eradicating evil spirits and helping the people of the world, is indeed unadmirable.

"However, although the power of the Garan Temple has long since fallen, the temple they built in the world of the Styx region is still protecting the living beings in all parts of the world."

Su Yi said, "In the past years, whenever late at night, if you encounter an ominous danger, you only need to hide in the Garan Temple, and you can often turn evil into good fortune. ”

Youxue was surprised: "Why is this?" ”

Su Yi smiled and said: "This is the wonderful use of the power of the wishes of all beings, a long time ago, the Garan Temple was revered and respected by the living beings in the Styx region, and the worldly people all regarded the Garan Temple as a living Bodhisattva for disaster relief, burning incense and praying day and night, and worshipping sincerely. ”

"When thousands of beliefs come together and go through the precipitation of the years, they will turn into the aspirations of all sentient beings and be blessed in the Garan Monastery distributed in the world."

"The power of the wishes of such beings seems to be invisible and has no deterrence, even monks can hardly feel it, but it can deter and restrain evil ghosts."

After hearing this, Youxue suddenly sighed, "No wonder we took shelter from the rain here tonight, and we didn't encounter any ghosts." ”

Outside the temple, there are barren mountains and mountains, and the atmosphere is strong, and places like this are the easiest to become the nest of ghosts and ghosts.

And tonight is even more special because there is no moon in the sky!

The moon is not bright, and people are panicking.

In the netherworld, the night without the moon is also the most dangerous time,

On such a night, there will be some strange and strange things, there are hundreds of ghosts walking in the wilderness at night, there are turquoise phosphorus fire lamps dotted in the dark void, and there are also dead souls cruising on the river......

And in such forbidden places as the Ghost Gate, the Guilty Blood River, and the Sea of Bitterness, there will be many strange things that can kill the monks.

But until now, Yuxue hadn't noticed any weird and dangerous aura.

This also made her realize that what Su Yi said was not bad, hiding in the temple left behind by this Garan Temple, it was possible to turn evil into good fortune.

As soon as she thought of this, Youxue seemed to be aware of it, and raised her eyes to look outside the main hall, "Fellow Daoist, someone is here." ”

Su Yi was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "It may also be that trouble is coming." ”

There is no moon tonight, heavy rain is pouring, and it is a wilderness and wilderness, but there are people coming, and it must be extraordinary.

Youxue said thoughtfully: "Or, I'm going to keep the other party out?" ”

Su Yi shook his head slightly, and said, "This place is left by the Jialan Temple, and we are just passers-by here after all, so there is no reason to refuse others to enter." ”

As he was talking, a bright lightning bolt outside the main hall tore through the sky.

At this moment, I could clearly see that in the rain curtain between heaven and earth, a thin figure swept quickly.

It was a man in a Confucian robe, with thin cheeks.

When he entered the gate of Garan Temple, he was visibly relieved.

However, when he saw the bonfire in the temple, as well as the figures of a man and a woman, the man in the Confucian robe couldn't help frowning and hesitated.

Just as he hesitated, an indifferent voice sounded:

"This temple is a no-hom land, and friends can do their own thing."

Hearing this, the man in the Confucian robe hugged his fists in the rain curtain and said, "I'm bothering the two of you." ”

And then, he this

Only then did he step into the main hall.

When he saw the faces of Su Yi and Youxue clearly, the man in the Confucian robe was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I have a lot of trouble on me, but if the trouble comes to the door, I will leave, and I will never involve the two of you." ”

With that, he went straight to a corner of the main hall, sat cross-legged, and then took out a bottle of elixir, swallowed it, and meditated.

"It's interesting, in the middle of the night, I actually met an early emperor of the Xuanzhao Realm, and depending on the situation, he was seriously injured."

Yuxue said.

She could see at a glance that the Taoist behavior of this man in a Confucian robe!

"It doesn't matter how high or low the cultivation is, what is rare is that this person is also frank and upright, obviously troublesome, but he has the mind not to involve others, it is not easy."

Su Yi said softly.

He wasn't afraid of trouble, but he never liked to be approached by trouble.

In such a situation, the appearance of a stranger who can consider not causing trouble for others left a lot of good impression on Su Yi.

However, for Su Yi, although the face of the man in the Confucian robe was unfamiliar, when he saw the other party for the first time just now, he roughly saw the origin of the other party.

It is precisely because of this that he will take the initiative to speak out before and let the other party enter the main hall.

Time passed little by little.

Su Yi lay lazily in the rattan chair, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Youxue sat by the campfire on one side, occasionally staring at Su Yi's side face.

Outside the temple, there was strong wind and rain, the night was bleak, and the sound of thunder and roar would sound from time to time.

Yuxue didn't care about any of this.

Even if the sky falls, as long as she is by her side, she will feel unprecedented peace and satisfaction in her heart.

A long time ago, she liked the arrogant sword cultivator beside her.

She never hid this thought.

Su Xuanjun knew, and Ye Yu also knew.

It's a pity that the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is ruthless, Su Xuanjun back then never put her liking in her heart.

Even so, Yuxue didn't stop there.

She also knew that she would most likely not get a response from Su Xuanjun in her life.

But none of that changed her mind.

When you like someone, it's always so unreasonable.

When she saw Su Yi again in the ancestral forbidden land of the Ghost Snake Clan, Ye Yu knew that even after tens of thousands of years, she had never let go of the love in her heart.

Sometimes, Youxue often thinks, what if this life is destined to be unwanted?

Will you be alone for the rest of your life?

Will it end up depressed?

She couldn't think of an answer.

But Youxue can be sure that she has never regretted or changed her liking Su Xuanjun.

The moth fights the fire, knowing that it will die, and it is duty-bound to do so.

In the matter of liking Su Xuanjun, Youxue felt like a moth to a fire, completely reckless, desperate.

Just when Youxue's thoughts were flying, she suddenly frowned, looked out of the hall with a pair of deep and bright eyes, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, someone is here again."

Su Yi, who was pretending to be asleep, snorted and had no other reaction.

Soon, the man in the Confucian robe who was meditating in the corner of the wall seemed to notice it, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Almost at the same time, outside the gate in the distance of this temple, in the night of the torrential rain, there was a sound of breaking the air.
