Chapter 37: A Broken Temple and a Monk
Fan Yi staggered back and forth in the dense forest hills.
After he blasted away a spotted thorn tiger with one punch, he skillfully took out the dagger on his waist and dug out a black spirit crystal from the head of the bastard beast.
And at the moment when the spirit crystal arrived in his hand, this spirit crystal dissolved into a spiritual energy at a speed visible to the naked eye and poured into Fan Yi's lower abdomen.
When Fan Yi saw this scene, he didn't mention how uncomfortable it was, and complained:
"Master Dou, you're too thief, the spirit crystal I finally got was absorbed by you before I could cover the heat, am I your grudge thug?"
The childish voice laughed:
"Boy, you don't even have a dantian qi mansion, what do you want these spirit crystals for? And the spirit crystal is the freshest when it is first taken out, and the taste is excellent. ”
Fan Yi sat down beside the Spotted Thorn Tiger, and scolded with a dark face:
"Is there a dantian qi mansion, don't you know better than anyone?"
Xiao Shengdou smiled again and said:
"Don't complain, since you said that you will be paid back in a year, the old man will definitely not break his promise."
"Your martial arts cultivation is progressing too slowly."
"That's not right! It should be said that there is no progress at all. Until now, I am still a little martial arts master, when will I become a great grandmaster, I am really anxious for you! ”
Fan Yi stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes, and said scoldingly:
"It's been seven or eight days since I entered the dense forest, and I can't even meet a hundred-year-old bastard beast, let alone a monster, and I don't have an opponent if I want to improve my cultivation."
Xiao Shengdou replied:
"It's strange to say, obviously after walking so far, how could the old man not be able to perceive a hundred-year-old bastard."
The sun is about to set.
Fan Yi began to prepare the food, and it didn't take long for him to gather a fire and start roasting the meat of the spotted thorn tiger.
Not much.
Seeing that the beast meat was almost good, Fan Yi had no appetite at all.
For seven or eight days in a row, I ate either a spotted thorn tiger or a one-horned black-scaled python, and I felt sick to my stomach just by smelling it.
However, Xiao Shengdou said that he didn't know the blessing in the blessing, and the more he ate the flesh of these bastard beasts, the more he could strengthen his body.
How many warriors want to live such a life, they can only dream.
Fan Yi was noncommittal.
Anyway, every time you eat and drink enough, you will feel a warm current on your body, and your fatigue will disappear immediately.
Fan Yi wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then stood up again and walked towards the depths of the mountain range.
Martial arts cultivation is still a little different from cultivation.
Only when he encounters a strong enemy and fights with his body can his potential be stimulated.
Therefore, Fan Yi still has to continue to look for a hundred-year-old hybrid beast in order to achieve the effect of improving martial arts cultivation.
Walk all the way.
In the distance, at the foot of the mountain, there is a ruined temple sitting on the bank of the river.
Fan Yi was curious, so he walked towards the broken temple.
Not long after, the people were already standing at the gate of the temple.
It's just that this ruined temple is not big, just a two-story earthen building.
The temple gate seems to be in disrepair, and the two wooden doors "creak" in the breeze.
After listening to it for a long time, I feel that my teeth are also sore.
Fan Yi learned about it from the collection of books in the City Lord's Mansion.
In the major states other than Qingyun Prefecture, there are still many ruling forces and Taoist systems.
For example, the imperial court, Buddhism and Taoism, etc.
These forces are somewhat similar to the one mountain, two sects and three small sects in Qingyun Prefecture, but they are more centralized.
The Taoist Gate and the Buddhist Gate, which are based on the cultivation of the mind and thoughts, are completely different from the imperial court.
The imperial court was able to rule one side, relying on law and force, and liked to expand the land by conquest, so that the people of the entire large state could become their people.
Fan Yi has always been curious.
Why is there no imperial court above Qingyun Prefecture, and there is no so-called Taoism and Buddhism.
In fact, Qingyun Prefecture is a remote place in the netherworld.
Among the major states near it, if there was a court that wanted to set foot in this state, it would not be able to do so anyway.
On the one hand, there was pressure from Ziyun Mountain and the rest of the sects.
On the other hand, the distribution of large and small cities in Qingyun Prefecture is too scattered, and they are often invaded by beast tides or demon clans.
If you are attached to a court today, you may cease to exist tomorrow.
In this way, no monarch is willing to invest national strength in Qingyun Prefecture to form a new order.
Therefore, the autonomy of all large and small cities in Qingyun Prefecture is particularly prominent.
As the ruling force of the City Lord's Mansion, most of the city lords are from different immortal sects.
Fan Yi knew that it was a temple from books and picture albums, which also aroused his curiosity.
When he pushed the door and entered, he saw that the entire temple was covered with dense cobwebs, and countless dust was scattered in the air.
In the innermost part of the temple there is a long, heavy offering table, and behind the offering table is a stone statue with an indistinct face.
The stone statue had its hands folded, and several severed fingers had been broken.
Fan Yi walked up to the stone statue and looked at it, and then took out a wooden stick wrapped in oilcloth from the square tiger brand.
After lighting the oil cloth, the temple became much brighter.
On the left and right sides of the stone statue, two rows of figures were erected against the wall, but they were still the same as the stone statues, and the depicted faces could not be seen clearly.
Fan Yi learned the truth in the book, bowed to the stone statue, and said:
"Borrow a treasure for a night's rest, and don't blame it!"
Fan Yi tied the torch to one leg of the offering table next to him, pulled over the broken wooden plank, wiped it casually, and used it as a bed for sitting and lying.
And he made a fire in the middle of the temple.
Long.
Night fell completely.
From time to time, there was a beast roar outside the temple gate, but just listening to the sound, you could tell that those bastard beasts were far away from here.
Fan Yi had nothing to do, and took out a book on the description of exotic foreign objects from the Fangcun Tiger brand, and read it with relish.
Gradually, it began to rain in the sky.
First, raindrops the size of soybeans smashed on the tiles and "clanked".
Eventually, the raindrops were in a string, like water that had opened a floodgate, pouring water from the sky to the earth.
Fan Yi disliked it too much, so he stood up and wanted to close the half-hidden and half-open temple door.
Fan Yi walked to the door and had just closed the door.
Suddenly, an old man's voice sounded from outside the door:
"It's raining too hard outside, can I go inside and take shelter?"
This voice startled Fan Yi, and he thought:
"There are countless monsters in the mountain range, how can you still meet a big living person? It's not a monster! ”
But Xiao Shengdou and the roulette mirror did not speak, which means that the other party is neither a bastard nor a monster.
While pondering.
Fan Yi pushed the door open again.
I saw a bald old man wearing tattered clothes and hunched back appear in front of Fan Yi's eyes.
The man hung his head and saw that his palms were like withered trees.
Fan Yi's brows furrowed slightly, but he still turned sideways and let this person in.
didn't wait for Fan Yi to speak.
The old monk was the first to say:
"Little friend Bodhisattva heart, the Buddha will definitely bless you."
Fan Yi didn't answer, and walked quickly to the side of the plank. After sitting down, I picked up the book and read it again.
It seems that there is one more person in the temple who has no effect on him, but in fact, he has even more doubts in his heart.
It's just that Fan Yi didn't take the initiative to ask, just waited and saw what happened.
