Chapter 69: The Goddess of Light
Fei Meng doesn't seem to mind my evaluation of her figure, and even gets annoyed by being "underestimated"? This thinking doesn't look like the Great Xia woman I've been in contact with before......
Even if she is a child of the rivers and lakes, Sister Hongxia, who seems to be informal, is actually quite reserved and introverted.
Could it be that the women in Dunhuang think differently? But it has only been around for a few hundred years, and the population has basically migrated or exiled, so it should be no different from the customs of Great Xia.
Carrying Miss Qi on his back, Zhao Chen, who was moving as fast as a galloping horse under the blessing of the "Divine Spell", thought in his heart.
However, this time he learned to be obedient and kept himself in a state of "meditation", so that his thoughts could be restrained by the soul power, and he would no longer be easily perceived by Qi Feimeng's "Great Compassion and Purity True Qi".
After all, the supernatural effect of perceiving the thoughts of others is not the "main job", and it is far inferior to the professional "mind reading".
There was nothing to say all the way, and when the sun that was gradually slanting to the west slowly converged on the dazzling light, the two finally returned to the vicinity of Yumen County, and Zhao Chen also put away the "paper horse" on his leg and stopped at the foot of the foothills in the west of the city.
Lushan is not high, it can only be regarded as a small hill, and Zhao Chen heard Uncle Zhan say that there was originally a temple of the goddess of light built by the Taixi people on the top of the mountain, but now it has long been abandoned and occupied by a group of beggars.
"It's not a beggar, this is just a slum...... Miss Qi, who led Zhao Chen up the hill along the path, pointed to the simple houses erected around the ruined temple, and continued, "Most of the people who live here are coolies from the docks and low-level workers from the factories...... As for the rooms in the temple that are still in good condition, they are all occupied by the people of the Green Snake Martial Arts Hall...... This is their territory. ”
Green Snake Martial Arts Gym...... Isn't that one of the forces that are ready to challenge the master? Is this the so-called order of the rivers and lakes? While his thoughts were turning, Zhao Chen looked at Qi Feimeng beside him and asked, "Why did you come here?" ”
"Because this is one of the back roads I have prepared." Saying that, Qi Feimeng led Zhao Chen to quietly enter the backyard of the "Goddess of Light" temple from the back mountain.
As far as the eye can see, all of them are ruined and broken, and they are seriously weathered, and there is no possibility of repairing them at all.
Because of this, the area is not occupied by people, overgrown with weeds, and is full of dumped garbage and pickled things.
Relying on spiritual sense, Zhao Chen, who barely avoided all kinds of "traps", followed behind Qi Feimeng, and finally came to a square stone.
It looked like the base of something, but at this time, it was covered with cracks under the erosion of time, as if it would completely shatter if it was touched by a single touch.
"This was originally the base of the Goddess of Light statue...... According to the custom of the 'Cult of Light', which was destroyed 10,000 years ago, the base should be the place where some dangerous items and even 'demons' are sealed. ”
After explaining in an inexplicable tone that seemed to sigh with emotion, Qi Feimeng's true qi tapped a few times in different directions of the base.
Immediately after, the square stone suddenly disappeared, its original position revealing a downward staircase, and its inner cold and evil feeling was filled with a pervasive, almost condensing into a substance.
Qi Feimeng stretched out his palm with a solemn face, letting his "Great Compassion and Purity True Qi" come into contact with the cold and evil aura.
In the next moment, the hovering coldness and evil melted away like ice and snow meeting the sun, replaced by light and holiness.
"Alright, come down with me." Qi Feimeng turned around and said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
"There's no other danger down there, right? You said before that this is used to seal dangerous objects and demons? Although Zhao Chen was eager to explore such a hidden "cave", he still couldn't help but ask.
It's not that he doesn't trust Qi Feimeng, but he thinks she knows too much about Tessie's affairs.
Could it be that in the "fog of history" she herself experienced, there is also a scene of Tessie?
"Don't worry, although almost no one knows the secret under the pedestal now, there are many people who know about it when the 'Cult of Light' collapsed!
"It was emptied more than 8,000 years ago.
"I rearranged it a while ago and barely managed to get it back to some functionality."
As he spoke, Qi Feimeng took the lead in descending the stairs, and the sound of footsteps echoed silently.
Seeing this, Zhao Chen didn't have stage fright, after all, he could summon "Wang Daoyi" at any time, and his confidence was actually very sufficient.
Although there are no lights, this "underground" space is very bright, and the light is pure and soft, as if it can cleanse people's hearts.
This staircase is not long, and after nine steps diagonally it touches the ground.
"Because of being under the idol all year round, some of the power of the goddess of light is stored here, so it can be used as a 'seal' for those dangerous things." After listening to Qi Feimeng's explanation, Zhao Chen looked around and found that this was a space of about two hundred square meters, with very few things placed, only a simple wooden bed, food and clothes stacked next to the bed, and a few buckets of water.
This was obviously prepared by Qi Feimeng in advance.
Qi Feimeng sat on the edge of the bed, then looked at Zhao Chen, who was looking around, and said with a smile: "In fact, the biggest advantage here is that you can use the remaining little 'light' power to interfere with 'calculation', 'divination' and other spells, so as to avoid being found by the enemy.
"Moreover, if we are plotting against Chai Yugong here, we will not be sensed by him."
was remembered as a "furnace ding", and was forced to leave home, almost on a dead end, even if Miss Qi had a good temper, she was very angry about this, and naturally wanted to retaliate.
And judging from the current situation, even if she "compassionately" let go of the other party, the other party would not let her go, so Qi Feimeng directly skipped the option of "mercy and probation" and entered the mode of "subduing demons and subduing demons".
"Plotting against Chai Yu Palace?" Zhao Chen turned his head, met Qi Feimeng's pure gaze, and asked with a smile, "Do I have any benefit?" ”
He is now more and more comfortable with the role of "businessman", and he can't afford to be early.
"Of course there is...... As the in-laws of the Li family, the Chai family has been inherited from the 'White Emperor Sword' in the Li family's "Five Emperors Dynasty True Sword Technique".
"Although you have obtained the Kunlun School's 'Purple Household Shengxian Secret Technique' from Sister Yunlu, you may be able to use this to cultivate the change of 'White Emperor Servant'...... However, the 'Great Avenue Text' is difficult to decipher, and it is difficult to say whether it will lose its true meaning.
"Moreover, the Li family's sword technique is good at fighting, and it does not conflict with the "Purple Household Life Immortal Technique", which can be regarded as a good means of protecting the way.
"I remember you can 'search for souls', but you don't have the means to 'detain souls', right?
"And you also saw the scene where I 'exceeded' those Chai family knights just now......
"Therefore, if we can cooperate to win the Chai Yu Palace, we will have a chance to obtain this exercise.
"Isn't it?"
Qi Feimeng said with a smile.
