Chapter 146: The Will of the State vs the Green Snake Immortal
Yunling is a long way from the capital, thousands of miles, but this is not a big problem for Ye Qin, who has cultivation, he walks through the mountains and forests, or wanders on the deserted and secluded paths.
Yunling is close to the fog capital, so the surrounding is mountainous, the terrain is also more complicated, as far as the eye can see, the strange peaks are fully displayed, and the main prominent point is on the word "strange" and "dangerous".
But after approaching the capital, you will find that the terrain here is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the territory runs through the five major rivers.
The mountains are endless, continuous, and the thousands of peaks and peaks that come from the fluttering are overlapping and overlapping, towering into the clouds, like ten thousand magnificent brocades floating from the sky, which can be said to be incomparably majestic and magnificent.
The feeling of the capital to Ye Qin is completely different, fortunately, there are also many mountains and forests around, and to be able to reach the city, it is just a detour.
The greening between the inner and outer rings is also good, as long as Ye Qin is careful to avoid the crowd, it will be fine.
Although Kyoto is relatively well guarded, it is only for humans, for example, there are plainclothes patrols in various places, beware of the existence of espionage agents, but it is naturally impossible to prevent animals.
After all, he hasn't grown into a giant yet, and it's not so eye-catching, if it's the same size as Godzilla, then it will naturally be an accident if he enters the city again.
Of course, caution is still needed, as this is the capital of a country.
When Ye Qin arrived in the capital, it was already evening, and the sunset was smeared layer by layer, shrouding the sky over the city, and the traffic was busy, rendering a bustling city with red and green lights.
The archaeological center is near the North Second Ring Road, Ye Qin crawled all the way over, and found that there were many places of interest and historic sites around, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"It's a historic capital."
Beijing is the capital, one of the four ancient capitals, and the city with the largest number of world cultural heritage sites in the world.
In addition to the atmosphere of a modern metropolis, there are many antique buildings around, which seem to complement each other without being abrupt.
The collision of ancient and modern is combined, mixed with a special atmosphere.
In addition, there are small alleys everywhere, as well as boxy yards, which look very quiet and quiet.
The red walls and green tiles floated with the remnants of the glow, and the slanted eaves were like birds spreading their wings, as if they were about to melt into the sky and fly into the sunset.
Ye Qin's sinuous body passed through a green belt, but he suddenly stopped and looked back behind him.
"Huh-"
The snake's pupils flashed with a look of doubt, and the bright red snake letter also stopped in mid-air.
"Is it my delusion? It seems to have the breath of time. ”
Ye Qin calmed down, released a few wisps of spiritual power, and carefully perceived it, there was indeed a breath of time fluctuations coming from not far away.
"Could it be that there are mottled fragments of time around here?"
I didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise when I came to the capital, so I stepped into it and found the traces of mottled years.
After all, Ye Qin had been in Yunling for a long time before, but he had not found a fragment of the years.
But it's normal to think about it, after all, it's a historical capital, and the chance of encountering it here should be a little higher than outside.
The research center can be placed next to it for the time being, after all, there is no rush over there, and it will not run away with long legs.
Therefore, Ye Qin turned around, followed the induction of spiritual power, and headed towards the southeast.
He has been stagnant in the realm of demon pills for a long time, maybe in this mottled fragment of the years, maybe he can find a relevant opportunity?
After all, every time he enters these years of time, he can bring Ye Qin a lot of gains, and it is also a rare experience.
It's a pity that this kind of thing doesn't happen often, and so far, Ye Qin has only experienced three.
Zuo Ci tomb, to be Wang Village, wild temple.
……
The sun was setting and the night was hazy.
Not far away, there is an ancient building surrounded by red walls and gray tiles.
The red exterior wall has long since lost its bright color, and some of the wall skin has fallen off, revealing the mottled cement inside, and even the gray tiles on it have broken traces.
It can be seen that this building has been immersed in the long river of history for a long time, and it has continued to this day, I am afraid that there is a lot of time.
Ye Qin looked at the plaque at the gate, and wrote a few big characters vigorously - Beiding Niangniang Temple.
"Beiding Niangniang, it should be "Bixia Yuanjun", in myths and legends, she is the daughter of Emperor Dongyue. The full name is 'Dongyue Taishan Tianxian Jade Girl Bixia Yuanjun'. ”
"I didn't expect that there would be a fragment of time here, and it seems that there was or is a lot of incense."
The door was closed at the moment, and it was obviously time to close, Ye Qin took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and sneaked in through the red wall next to him.
When I stepped into it, the quaint atmosphere came to my face, and it was pitch black inside, without any light, and it seemed that no one lived there.
The tall main hall is located in the back row of the courtyard, the bell and drum tower are in the center, several ancient pines and cypresses and ancient acacia stand in the courtyard, the branches are luxuriant, like a green canopy, loyal to guard between the palaces.
Ye Qin roughly wandered around, and the temple was dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun, Tianxian Niangniang, Sending Zi Niangniang, Dongyue Emperor, Emperor Guan, Medicine King and other gods.
It's not like the usual temples and Taoist temples, there are monks or Taoist priests sitting in it.
Usually there should be someone to manage it, but I don't live here, I just wait until the next day to open the door.
In this way, it will be more convenient for Ye Qin to act, and he will not have to hide, and he can walk around the palace boldly and confidently.
There is some dust on the ground, and there should be few people coming in normal times, it looks cold, and the popularity does not seem to be high, and there are few incense candles and the like.
It's right to think about it, after all, people now believe in Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and the like, and they like to pile up in those Buddhist temples, and gods like this are not popular today.
The area of Niangniang Temple is not too large, and after a short walk, Ye Qin's spiritual power was released, and the breath of years fluctuating became more and more obvious.
"It should be here."
After perceiving it carefully, except for the fluctuating breath of the years, he didn't perceive any other existence, so Ye Qin put his mind at ease, found a remote corner, and hid his figure.
Although Niangniang Temple is not very popular, he entered the mottled years this time, and he doesn't know when it will end.
Time is uncontrollable, so it is natural to take into account external factors, so as not to accidentally be bumped into by human beings.
After everything was ready, Ye Qin slowly closed his eyes, carefully felt the fluctuations of the years, and released his spiritual power to slowly merge with it.
As if a veil of mystery had been lifted, the river of years began to roll and boil again, and one of the waves slammed into Ye Qin, enveloping him.
The surrounding scenery quickly blurred and regressed, as if going back in time, and the familiar feeling of pulling the soul came to his heart again, and by the time Ye Qin came back to his senses, he was already in Shangqing Guan.
He slowly opened his eyes, and before he could see clearly, the moment of lightning, a cold feeling followed, as if even the surrounding temperature had been affected, and it suddenly dropped to freezing.
He had only encountered such a feeling in that ghost monk!
Ye Qin's eyes flashed with fear and vigilance, and he quickly looked at the surrounding environment, and there was no doubt that he was indeed in Shangqing Guan.
"What's going on? Could it be that there are guardians here too? ”
But obviously when he entered the Niangniang Temple before, Ye Qin didn't feel anything abnormal, and there was no guardian in the temple.
Why didn't he feel it outside, but felt it after entering the mottled fragment of the years.
Ye Qin was puzzled, he didn't understand where this aura came from, and there was nothing abnormal when he searched around, but when he climbed to the gate of the Taoist temple, he was stunned in place.
Seeing the scene not far away, the snake's pupils suddenly shrank and turned into straight vertical lines.
I saw that there was still a person standing at the door of the Taoist temple!
This person seemed to be about to step into the Taoist temple, but it seemed to be an invisible obstacle, and he could only linger at the gate.
The scales on Ye Qin's body were slightly open, and his body was even more straight, like a bowstring ready to attack, and at this moment he was still some distance away from the figure.
The figure was facing away from him, wearing what appeared to be a robe?
There is a feeling that it looks like a robe and a robe, it is very shabby and ancient, and the color of the beginning can no longer be seen.
The closer he got to this figure, the more obvious the cold feeling became, and at the same time, there was a sense of familiarity, which seemed to have the same origin as the previous ghost monk.
Could it be that —
This is the guardian inside the Niangniang Temple?!
The figure also seemed to notice something, and slowly turned around, but it surprised Ye Qin again.
The face that should have facial features is blank, and there is nothing!
Rao is a well-informed Ye Qin, and when he saw a face without facial features at this moment, he was also stunned for a moment.
The figure touched his face, and almost instantly, the face of an old woman with vicissitudes of life appeared in front of Ye Qin's eyes, and was soon replaced by a young and innocent face, followed by a young woman.
The faces are constantly changing, men, women and children, joys, sorrows, and sorrows, all kinds of things, like all living beings, staging a huge comedy.
Eventually, everything returned to square one, and it was back to that blank face.
If Ye Qin was still a little suspicious before, it can be determined at this moment that the faceless people are the same as the previous ghost monks, they are all guardians.
And he also has 'public business' and the smell of incense.
But when Ye Qin met the ghost monk before, it was at the spiritual level of reality, and this time, I don't know why, this faceless man actually appeared in the mottled years.
The faceless man looked at Ye Qin quietly, although he had no eyes, Ye Qin sensed an extremely cold gaze, as if he had crossed the distance of time and space, and landed on him accurately.
This creature seemed to have a peaceful breath, and there were no fluctuations, but Ye Qin had a hunch that he was more difficult than the ghost monk, after all, how could someone who could appear in the fragments of the years be a general?
The faceless man, like the ghost monk, had no idea of taking the initiative to attack, although he couldn't get in, but Ye Qin couldn't get out either.
There is only one entrance and exit in Shangqingguan, and the faceless man is standing there, completely blocking the road, which is even more haunting than the ghost monk.
Although Ye Qin has come to the mottled fragment of the years, if he doesn't go out, it is equivalent to entering in vain.
And the fragments of time are also time-limited, and it is impossible to spend time here with faceless people all the time.
Ye Qin looked at the faceless man not far away, making sure that he had no intention of leaving, and a faint golden glow quickly crossed in the emerald green snake pupils.
There was an instant more solemn murderous aura in the air.
Jin Dan circulated rapidly in his body, and a hazy aura permeated out, galloping towards the faceless man, but he didn't seem to feel this compelling coercion.
Facing the shroud of Ye Qin's powerful spiritual power, his body was like an immovable hill, without any thoughts of moving.
Soon the gray mist enveloped the Faceless Man, engulfing all his figures, and in the process, the Faceless Man had no intention of resisting.
Looking at the creatures wrapped in mist, Ye Qin was a little incredulous, and the whole process was inevitably too easy.
"That's it?"
The faceless man was dealt with so quickly, and compared to the previous ghost monk, the difficulty was simply not too low.
You must know that Ye Qin had no way to take the ghost monk before, and later he still used the power of breaking through the golden pill to kill him.
But in the next moment, Ye Qin's expression changed slightly, as if he had noticed something, and his eyes fell on the mist like a torch, "That's not right! That faceless man hasn't dissipated yet! ”
As if to verify what Ye Qin said.
A faceless face emerged, with a large mouth on it, occupying most of the place, and a steady stream of mist was sucked into it, like a bottomless pit.
Soon the thick mist dissipated, and the big mouth disappeared, returning to its previous appearance without any facial features.
Ye Qin's expression flashed with a touch of astonishment, he guessed that the faceless man was not so easy to deal with, but he never thought that he would defuse his attack method so quickly.
This mist is closely related to him, and it is where his spiritual power is condensed, and the faceless man can swallow it directly.
It can be seen that his mental attack did not cause harm to the faceless man.
"Since the mental power attack has no effect on you, let you try my thunder and lightning power!"
Ye Qin concentrated, and the scales in the center of his forehead crossed a dazzling purple light, as if an electric arc had slashed, bursting out several sparks in the air.
"Bang!"
Only a thunderclap was heard, and the stout thunder snake galloped towards the faceless man, with the power of destroying decay, and instantly devoured him.
This blow contained Ye Qin's full strength, and in an instant, the entire Taoist temple was illuminated by thunder and lightning.
The faceless man was instantly submerged in the sea of thunder, and I am afraid that this would have been split into charcoal.
The purple sea of thunder was intertwined, only lingering near the faceless man, and did not affect other places, which showed that Ye Qin's control of thunder and lightning had reached the point of reaching its peak.
The thunder rumbled incessantly and was deafening.
It took a moment for the thunder and lightning to dissipate, revealing a vague figure.
Ye Qin's snake pupils were sluggish, the faceless man was still intact, and there was not even a black mark on his body, as if the thunder and lightning had no effect on him.
His expression gradually became a little ugly, "No matter how thunder and lightning have no effect on him." ”
Ye Qin suddenly fell into a dilemma.
If this continues, it is difficult for him to be consumed here, wait until the years are over, and then return to reality, wouldn't it be a trip in vain and waste this rare fragment of time.
This guardian was indeed born to protect the fragments of time.
As time passed, Ye Qin's mood became more and more anxious, and any method had been exhausted.
Like the previous ghost monks, the attack methods have no effect on the faceless man, it can be said that the mud cow enters the sea, and the faceless man is like a door god, stationed at the door of Shangqingguan, and does not move.
The two are in such a stalemate, the faceless man can afford it, but Ye Qin can't afford it, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be really useless.
Just when Ye Qin was anxious, the sound of gurgling water came, like jade stirring, which slightly soothed the uneasiness in his heart.
He suddenly remembered that there was a rosary in the canal.
This string of prayer beads was a gift, Ye Qin didn't know what to do, so he stored it under the canal, planning to wait until the next time he explored the fragments of the years, to see how useful it was.
But now that he is blocked here by a faceless person, it can be said that he is in a dilemma, with the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, Ye Qin came to the side of the canal and salvaged this string of prayer beads.
The sandalwood beads reveal a quaint atmosphere, even after thousands of years, there is still no change, but because of the precipitation of the years, it is a little extraordinary.
I don't know if it's Ye Qin's illusion, the moment he salvaged the rosary, a sight stayed on him, more precisely, on the rosary.
He felt the Faceless man glance this way.
Ye Qin thought for a moment, "Could it be that this string of prayer beads will have an effect on faceless people?" ”
When he appeared with the rosary, he vaguely noticed some changes in the faceless man, and he couldn't say that kind of change.
But from the clues revealed by the faceless man, it can be discerned that it should be caused by this string of prayer beads.
Ye Qin tried to pour spiritual power into the prayer beads, and the originally simple and unpretentious beads emitted a white light.
The soft white light centered on the rosary and continued to spread towards the surroundings, and the faceless man who was originally as steady as Mount Tai and did not move at all couldn't help but take a small step back.
As soon as Ye Qin saw that there was a play, he increased the injection of spiritual power, and the white light became more and more brilliant, even covering the original sandalwood beads, like a rising sun.
Under the illumination of the white light, the faceless man's figure actually tended to become transparent, and Ye Qin clearly saw that the white light penetrated the faceless man's body directly.
His gaze suddenly sharpened, the scales in the center of his forehead became darker and darker, and thunder rumbled.
Soon, purple arcs and sparks also joined the white light, and the light of two different colors intertwined, filling the interior of the Taoist temple, and slammed towards the faceless man.
The faceless man who had stood still before finally moved his steps at this moment, wanting to hide to the side.
Where will Ye Qin let him get his wish.
Several stout bolts of thunder and lightning rained down from the sky, forming a cage in which the Faceless Man was imprisoned, taking advantage of the Faceless Man's lack of skills.
"Go!"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Ye Qin threw the rosary out and landed on the faceless man's body accurately.
In an instant, countless faces appeared on the blank facial features, and men, women, and children crowded together, but the expressions of these people were full of pain.
Under the cover of white light, bursts of Sanskrit sounds came from the rosary, as if a Buddha was making a move, and the figure of the faceless man gradually dissipated, and finally only a string of prayer beads was left lying quietly on the ground.
"Finally solved ......"
Ye Qin was overjoyed, he didn't expect this rosary to be really good, but before he could be happy, he was suddenly stunned, and his spirit fell into a highly tense state.
Because at the moment when the guardian disappeared, Ye Qin once again felt an inexplicable sense of peeping!
This is the same situation as when the ghost monk was solved at the beginning, as if there was something, and he glanced at himself from a long distance.
But that sense of peeping stayed for an extremely short time, and it seemed to be just an illusion.
This feeling is quite similar to the Thunder Tribulation, which only determines, but does not really appear.
Thunder doesn't rain, but it's terrifying.
Ye Qin's expression was a little solemn, "Is it a peep into heaven and earth?" Solving the guardians, just like cultivation, you need to meet the spirit of the thunder tribulation? ”
Ye Qin couldn't be sure if his guess was accurate or not, but there was no danger for the time being.
His gaze fell on the rosary.
Ye Qin didn't expect that the rosary given by Zhi Dun would be of great help this time, if it weren't for the rosary, the guardian of the Beiding Niangniang Temple would really be difficult to deal with.
However, the previous gift to him was only an ordinary rosary, and there was no fluctuation or extraordinary, but now it has such an effect, mostly because of the canal.
Similar to what I guessed before, although the things fished out of this cannot be manifested in the real world, they can be used as a magic weapon in the fragments of time, and they have a certain amount of power!
The aqueduct has the power to turn decay into magic, so that ordinary and ordinary things can be born with power!
With the elimination of the faceless man, the white light around the rosary also faded and became unpretentious, and the dark sandalwood beads seemed to be no different from the ordinary ones.
Who would have thought that just now, it helped Ye Qin deal with the tricky faceless man, otherwise the faceless man would still be blocking the door of Shangqingguan.
Ye Qin could no longer feel the fluctuations on the rosary, and he didn't know if it was because the energy accumulated in it was exhausted or because of other reasons.
Carefully put it back into the canal, the clear water surface rippled, and the rosary gradually precipitated, as if it was one with the canal.
Perhaps after a period of recuperation, it will regain energy and should be able to be reused in the future.
Ye Qin's gaze fell on the shadow not far away, compared to before, the shadow of the bronze ancient sword was much more condensed, but it was estimated that it would take a while to fully recover.
The matter of the rosary and the canal will be put aside for the time being, because of the faceless man, Ye Qin has already consumed a lot of time here, so he has to explore quickly.
Just come out of the gate of the Taoist temple, you can smell the birds and flowers, and the place where you can see is lush and green, which is refreshing.
Ye Qin looked at the surrounding environment, still in the familiar mountains.
"I don't know where I'm going to go this time."
Ye Qin shuttled between the mountains and forests, and soon felt a special fluctuation, which seemed to be similar to the original Niangniang Temple.
"It seems to be coming from the southeast......"
At this time, Ye Qin was still exploring in the mottled years, the real world was already faintly bright, and the time speed of each fragment was different from the outside world.
In this world, the sky is like a silver bottle bursting, and the liquid inside is pouring out.
A few rays of light broke through the darkness and brought the light to the world, and the original old Niangniang Temple was dotted with a slight color between the morning dew, and the past glory could be vaguely seen.
As the sky gets brighter and brighter, the whole city also wakes up from its slumber, and the streets and alleys become lively, except for the Niangniang Temple, which is a little deserted and there are no tourists.
Responsible for guarding the Niangniang Temple is Uncle Wang, about sixty years old, usually responsible for opening and closing the door, occasionally to clean up, the house is nearby, not far from here, every day you can come over.
After opening the door that day, I was sloping at the door, and there was a sound of hurried footsteps not far away, and I saw a group of people walking towards this side, not like ordinary tourists, occasionally writing and drawing on paper, but as if they had come to do something.
Uncle Wang had discovered that there was a construction site not far away that had begun to be built, and it had begun to take shape, as if a new building was to be built.
I don't know if the arrival of this group of people has anything to do with the nearby construction site.
Just when Uncle Wang was guessing, this group of people had already arrived at Niangniang Temple.
"How come there is a temple here?"
The man at the head frowned and glanced at the design drawings, "This is completely impossible, the area is too large, and this place must be demolished." ”
It turned out that the construction site that Uncle Wang saw before was a large building to be built by the government, called 'Eagle's Nest', which was very important to open to the world, so the surrounding residential buildings had to be demolished or relocated, and Niangniang Temple was also within the planning scope.
And these people are the construction team sent by the government, and they come to the site to investigate so that they can proceed to the next step.
At this time, when Uncle Wang heard this, he couldn't help but say, "What, you want to demolish the Niangniang Temple?" This is an ancient building left over from the Ming Dynasty. ”
The man at the head disagreed, "What about the ancient buildings, there are many ancient buildings in the capital." ”
The group walked into the temple and looked at the surrounding environment.
"The incense here is not vigorous, and there are usually no people coming, so it is better to demolish it and move to other places."
"Yes, and the buildings here are so dilapidated that it costs a lot of money to renovate."
In just a few words, they had already decided the life and death of Niangniang Temple.
If this temple is full of incense, they may still have concerns, after all, the demolition will cause dissatisfaction among the people, but judging from the current situation, even if it is demolished, no one will object.
And for the current official construction of this building, nothing is more important than it, not to mention that this is a Ming Dynasty building, even if it is old, it still has to be demolished, because the top document has been issued, and it is difficult to change.
This is the will of the state! (End of chapter)
