Chapter 21: The Statue of the Six-Handed Celestial Maiden
Chu Muxi stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaoxiao's head: "I still have some things, you go and rest first." ”
Xiao Xiao didn't know why, but nodded in agreement. Chu Muxi first asked Xiao Xiao to take a bath, and then he changed into his night clothes and went out.
The city at night is quiet and weird, no house is lit up, and the entire Lishui City is shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Chu Muxi was standing in front of the window and looking out, her eyes could see something that others couldn't see, which was also a great benefit of being a demon cultivator. For example, she saw a cloud of blood surrounding every house here, and the disgusting smell of corpses in the air. It's too weird, even in the Demon Domain, there is no place with such a thick dead air.
There is a big problem in this city.
She turned back and stood in the corridor on the second floor to look downstairs, and sure enough, it was not obvious during the day, but at night, it was easy to see that the inn they were in also had a layer of blood.
Her figure shuttled quickly, and she found a room in the inn based on the concentration of blood she saw. This room was in the backyard of the inn, next to the firewood room, with a lock.
Chu Muxi skillfully took off the hairpin on his head and picked the lock, and then walked into the house.
The room was empty, with two futons on the floor, a long table with a shrine in the center, an incense burner, and two candlesticks.
The candles in the candlestick were red, the red candles were burning slowly, and the wax oil fell down the body of the candles, as if they were flowing red blood and tears. The room was full of blood, the smell of blood was so strong that people wanted to vomit, and the gloomy layout didn't look like a good thing. However, Chu Muxi is a demon cultivator, a child who grew up in a cannibalistic place like the Demon Domain, and a professional liar with excellent psychological quality. In the face of such a situation, there is no fear at all. Reaching out to remove the gauze covering the shrine, revealing the idol enshrined in the shrine.
The idol is generally in the form of a woman, the woman sits upright, her hands are upright on her knees, her fingers are twisted, and the other four arms are raised, which is a statue of a six-handed celestial maiden. But the face is blurry and some can't see clearly. Although it was very vague, Chu Muxi always felt a little familiar. She subconsciously reached out and gently touched the face of the idol. Before Chu Muxi touched the statue, an evil aura wrapped around Chu Muxi's fingers.
"Be careful." Qingyu immediately made a sound, recalling Chu Muxi's senses, and a white light flashed out of the jade, immediately cutting off the evil qi that was trying to entangle Chu Muxi's fingers. Then he immediately surrounded Chu Muxi with a cyan brilliance, preventing Chu Muxi from being polluted by evil qi.
After Chu Muxi reacted, he immediately retreated, damn it, the finch that had been fighting for so long was almost pecked by the finches. She was the young sect master of the Hehuan Sect, and she was almost confused by illusion.
Qingyu whispered, "It's not Miss's fault, this thing is very evil." This wooden statue has been cursed and will deceive people's hearts. It's better not to get close to this thing, because if you are entangled by that evil spirit, you should be as frightened as the inhabitants of this city. ”
Chu Muxi sneered: "Return to the heavenly girl, I think it's almost like a witch." ”
This thing is so evil, it looks like a monster, but such a strange monster is rare in the Demon Domain, how can it appear in the world?
Chu Muxi can't slash this weird wood carving with a sword now, otherwise he won't be able to find the answer he wants to know if he scares the snake too early.
Chu Muxi left the house again and entered the city.
When she walked in the city, she saw more clearly that the blood was almost everywhere, and those who didn't know thought she had returned to the Demon Domain. Chu Muxi sneaked into several more houses and found that almost every household of the people in the city had a shrine dedicated to the statue of the six-handed goddess, and all the statues of the goddess of heaven had the same evil spirit.
"This six-handed celestial maiden is an evil god."
Chu Muxi came to this conclusion after looking at all the people, although the six-handed Heavenly Maiden looked like there was no problem, which was very in line with the loving and gentle appearance of the gods in the eyes of the people, but the evil aura on the Heavenly Maiden could not be covered.
Through the worship of the people, the goddess gains the power of faith, and then transforms into evil qi for her own use, and then controls the entire city, so that the people in the city become her own believers, and so on...... How much evil energy has the goddess collected this day!
"Qingyu, you don't know about the human face epidemic?" Chu Muxi asked Qingyu.
Qingyu is a magic weapon refined by her mother, not only a tool to contact her family and protect her own safety, but also an encyclopedia that gathers all the knowledge of the Three Realms.
Qingyu's light flashed twice before answering: "The human face plague is a 'disease' caused by the influence of demonic qi, and the so-called human face that appears on the body is the embodiment of demonic qi on people, and people who are eroded by demonic qi will die quickly, and then turn into a part of demonic qi."
Qingyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Little Miss, I checked it just now and found that half of the people in the city are actually dead, and they are blood corpses that have been manipulated and disguised as normal people. You know, this kind of making blood corpses and living golems is the Yin Luo Sect ......"
"Don't you think it was done by that second fool of Nianwu?" Chu Muxi's tone instantly cooled, "Yin Luo Sect and Hehuan Palace are Qin Jin's good, Aunt Luo's character will not be wrong, Duan Nianwu is a second fool, if it is their sect, it is impossible to hide it for more than ten years without a little rumor." ”
Qingyu was silent for a while, and there was nothing she could do about Chu Muxi's protection. Chu Muxi is a very good person, but he is very protective. For example, Qi Sisi and Duan Nianwu are her friends and friends, so she feels that she will not doubt them, and she will not allow anyone to question them.
But Qingyu still had to remind: "I don't think it's Duan Gongzi or Sect Master Duan, it's just that there are always other people in the sect, what if someone else does it?" Little Miss is still cautious, do you need me to help you send a message and ask Duan Gongzi? ”
Chu Muxi thought for a while and said, "When this matter is over, I will send a message to Nianwu after returning to Liuyun Sect."
Qingyu responded, it was just Chu Muxi's instrument spirit, and the orders it received were only to obey and protect Chu Muxi, and it didn't care too much about the rest.
Chu Muxi actually planned to go back after reading the situation, as for the ghost crying Lin Bairi, it would be good to go and take a look.
But just as Chu Muxi turned around and was about to leave, he suddenly saw a firework bloom in the sky north of the city, which was the style of an acacia flower.
"SOS bomb...... Are there Hehuan Sect disciples in danger? ”
The disciples of the Hehuan Sect are actually generally not high in combat effectiveness, and as a disciple of the Demon Sect, it is normal to encounter danger in the immortal realm. But when you meet a disciple of the Hehuan Sect in this ghost place, it is also unusual.
Chu Muxi, as the young sect master of the Hehuan Sect, couldn't ignore his own disciples, he originally planned not to go to this Ghost Crying Forest, but now it seems that he has to go.
Chu Muxi took out the mask of the Hehuan Sect's gold wrapped in flowers from the Qiankun bag, put it on, and immediately went to the Ghost Crying Forest.
