Chapter 5: The Temple of Wind and Snow Mountain
Jiang You crossed his knees on the snow and calmed down his mind, and then he went to check the samadhi fire in his mind, and found that after absorbing the evil fire in his heart, this fire was still the same as before, and there was no change, so Jiang You had to give up.
After Jiang You stood up again, the cold night was in front of him, and the sound of ice and snow freezing from afar echoed in the depths of the earth.
Looking up, there was no moonlight, only a sky full of stars, so many, so bright, as if they were falling at an ethereal speed, the stars were getting closer and closer, the sky was getting farther and farther away, the night was getting thicker and thicker, the mountains had lost their outlines, turned into a thick black, hanging low on the edge of the starfield, and everything sank into a cold, quiet harmony.
Jiang You carried the stele on his back, walked alone in the snow mountains and forests, until nine o'clock in the evening, and found that there was a dilapidated ancient temple in front of him, the ancient temple was ruined, and it seemed that it had been abandoned for a long time, and it should have been built by the hunters in the mountains in the past to worship the mountain gods.
Jiang You walked quickly to the ancient temple, the wooden door creaked open, and there was a black-faced statue of the mountain god inside, covered with red cloth, which was a normal style, much more recent than Luo Shan's age, and it should not be more than fifty years.
The area of the mountain temple is not large, Jiang You went in to check it, but fortunately, the roof is still intact, and it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, the ground trembled slightly, and the ash of the roof was shaken down, Jiang You put down the stone tablet of the East King, he felt hungry, and he flashed out, and after a while, he came back with a giant python in his hand, the size of the giant python was about the same size as the one killed before, the head of the snake had been cut off by Jiang You, and he threw the giant python into the temple, cut a tree outside, split it into firewood, dug a stone the size of a basin, hollowed out the middle, and made a stone tripod, and the sword of victory and evil was rubbed on the stone, and the sparks splashed out, and the bonfire was angry, and the stone tripod filled with snow was set up on the bonfire, Jiang You sat on the ground and skinned and dirty the giant python and threw it into the stone tripod to cook.
On the way to hunt, Jiang You also found some yellow essence and astragalus in the mountains, these Jiang You often dug in the village when he was a child, these medicinal herbs grew in the deep mountains, and were nourished by the aura, and they were very large.
Polygonatum polygonatum and Astragalus membranaceus. Nourishing qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys, it is a great tonic medicine and can be used as a dietary therapy, but Jiang You didn't think about it so much, just used it as a seasoning, Jiang You cut the yellow essence and astragalus into pieces and threw them into the ding.
The mountain wind began to howl at night, blowing the temple gate open, the bonfire sparks splashed everywhere, and Jiang You took a stone to hold the temple gate.
Everything is busy, Jiang You has nothing to do, his strength is growing too fast, and he needs to stabilize his mood for a period of time, so he didn't practice, so he sat in front of the Dongwang stele, and then the orange and red firelight, admiring the handwriting on the stele.
The two words of the East King are clumsy with the pen, not like the line of later generations, Kai is so beautiful and elegant, but its strokes are like anger and thirst, the muscles and bones are tight, into the stone for three points, the big ingenuity is not work, the big ingenuity is clumsy, there is a kind of vicissitudes in the frame, the vigorous charm flows.
Jiang You copied the handwriting on the ground with his fingers, but he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't write it with his bearing.
After a while, Shi Ding's water began to boil, and there was a burst of meat fragrance inside, Jiang You picked Shi Ding in front of him with a sword, and the python meat inside was already soft, the soup was milky white, bubbling with oil flowers, and the fragrance of meat and herbs was mixed, which made people appetizing.
Jiang You was not afraid of being hot, he directly grabbed the python meat and ate it in a big mouthful, the entrance was extremely delicious, Jiang You devoured it, and after a while, he finished eating the meat, and then picked up the stone ding, poured it into his mouth, and chewed and swallowed all the astragalus and yellow essence.
After eating, Jiang You felt warm all over his body, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on his forehead, so unhappy.
For the rest of the day, Jiang You listened to the beep of the bonfire and copied the stone tablet, until late at night, when the light of the fire was dim, Jiang You added a few more pieces of firewood to the flames, dusted the offering table in front of the statue, and lay down on it to sleep.
Ever since Jiang You cultivated the Qi Immortal Gong, he had replaced sleep with cultivation, but at this time, he had no intention of cultivating, he just wanted to sleep well.
After a while, Jiang You's breathing gradually soothed and long, the night wind in the mountains kept howling, there was an unknown beast howling from afar, the cold wind carried snowflakes through the crack in the door, blowing the bonfire from side to side, reflecting the shadow in the temple, half light and half dark.
Just when Jiang You was asleep, I don't know how long it took, I heard a snap, the temple door was blown open by the wind, a large number of snowflakes blew in, Jiang You opened his eyes, jumped up from the offering case, the temple was dark, the world outside the door was gray and blue, in the wind and snow, there was a black figure standing, walking towards him.
The figure got closer and closer, and gradually entered the temple, and saw the person wearing a red cloth on his shoulders, a black official hat, and a dark face, exactly like the statue of the mountain god.
Jiang You looked behind him again, and sure enough, the statue of the god had disappeared, and the mountain god walked into the temple and shouted, "Bold Orion, when you enter your own temple, not only do you not use snake soup to worship the god, but you also dare to sleep on the god's offering table, what a great courage!" ”
Jiang You looked at the novelty, this was the first time he had encountered a strange mouth to speak, could it be because of the blue mist?
"How are you doing?"
"Since you have slept on the offering table of this god, then sacrifice you to this god!"
"What a country evil god, who wants to eat people if he doesn't agree with him, and dares to call himself a god?"
The mountain god stretched out his big hand and grabbed it towards Jiang You, Jiang You raised his hand and went to draw the Victory Evil Sword, and when he touched it, he actually touched the air, and the Victory Evil Sword was obviously placed next to him, why was it gone? Jiang You didn't have time to think about it, those mountain gods had already arrived in front of Jiang You, and Jiang You had no choice but to punch out.
The fists collided, and the mountain god screamed miserably, and was directly beaten out by Jiang You.
"How is it possible, how can a mere mortal have such divine power?"
The mountain god couldn't have imagined that Jiang You's strength was even greater than his own, where did Jiang You talk nonsense to him, he rushed to the front with an arrow step, and his fist smashed on the mountain god like a storm, the mountain god called hard practice, and he didn't have the ability to parry at all, so he saw a burst of earthy yellow light on his body, and his body disappeared suddenly.
Jiang You punched the air, and he heard a strong wind coming from the back of his head, turned around and punched, and once again knocked the mountain god away, and the mountain god disappeared in the air in a flash.
Jiang You's eyes scanned left and right, and found that there were energy fluctuations in front of him, so he predicted in advance and threw a punch, and sure enough, the figure of the mountain god appeared in the next second, and was smashed to the ground by Jiang You's punch.
"Mountain gods? That's it? ”
Seeing that the mountain god was shining again, he was about to repeat the old trick, Jiang You's eyebrows shone out with a red light, fixed the mountain god on the ground, lifted it with one foot, and crushed the head of the mountain god.
Then, Jiang You felt that the temple was lit up with fire.
"Whew!" Jiang You sat up abruptly, watching the bonfire in front of him shake, and the Sword of Victory and Evil was firmly placed in his hand.
"A dream at this time?"
Jiang You was confused for a while, but soon flew up, and a sword in his hand slashed out, and the head of the mountain god idol fell, followed by another sword, cutting the idol in half.
This idol is not abnormal at all, it is just an ordinary clay sculpture.
Jiang You can't figure it out, there's nothing wrong with this, it's really just a dream?
Forget it, just cut it, and it's good to end up with peace of mind!
