Wugong Mountain at night is quiet and peaceful.

I have to say that the light path that suddenly appeared on the hill was very abrupt.

Jiao Peien's eyes were focused on the path, and a trace of curiosity naturally rose in his heart, wanting to step forward and find out.

As this thought came to him, he suddenly felt the world spin in front of him.

When he regained consciousness again, he found that he had come to the light path!

Jiao Peien's face showed surprise, he hurriedly turned around and looked back, but the palace of Wugong Mountain and the figure of his mother that should have existed all disappeared, replaced by a gorgeous canopy of sky that looked like an aurora.

There was a look of wonder in his eyes.

After quietly looking at it for a long time, he looked away and turned his attention to the path under his feet - perhaps even Jiao Peien himself did not notice that in the face of such a bizarre scene, he did not feel as strange and frightened as ordinary people, but only felt a little surprised, as if a strange factor in her body directly gave her some kind of immunity.

The lantern trail is neither wide nor narrow, just enough for one person to walk alone, winding and rugged into the depths of the mountain forest.

Jiao Peien noticed that in the flames of each lamp, there seemed to be some unknown creature, like jellyfish in the ocean, looming in shape, looking rather strange, with canine creatures with three heads, and strange birds with wings sticking out between their ribs......

Looking at these strange creatures that seemed to be illusory lights and shadows, Jiao Peien inexplicably felt a sense of coercion, and his heart unconsciously felt dull and depressed.

He couldn't help but quicken his pace.

It didn't take long for a temple to appear in Jiao Peien's sight.

The temple is not big, the white walls and black tiles, there is a plaque with three big characters written "Huaguang Temple" on the eaves, the temple door under the plaque is open, and Jiao Peien can peek a little inside the outside.

The first is a very conspicuous statue of a god.

With a majestic face, three eyes, a fire bell and a wire wrapped around his left arm, and a golden spear and a gold brick in his right hand, and several vivid lacquered statues of fire crows carved at his feet.

The whole idol gives a burning sensation.

Jiao Peien couldn't help but hang his head, not daring to look at the other party for a long time, but walked into the temple and looked at the murals on both sides of the temple.

The murals are very informative.

There are thin scholars floating on the surface of the water, causing the great sun essence fire to evaporate thousands of acres of water waves, and subduing the evil Jiao who is making trouble in the rivers.

There is also a bearded man surrounded by red flames, and the whole person is like a scorching flame, suppressing the big demon who slaughtered the village and destroyed the city with one punch.

There is also a white-haired old man dressed in a plain robe, walking alone in the barren mountains, driving away poisonous insects, driving away evil beasts, and cutting down ghosts, opening up a new civilized place for the people fleeing behind him.

More ......

Jiao Peien looked at it with some fascination.

He found that each mural recorded a story of the suppression of demons.

The protagonists of each story are different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, when they trigger the flames, there is an extremely inconspicuous light shadow behind them.

Jiao Peien couldn't help but lean closer to take a closer look, wanting to see the true face of the shadow.

His eyes widened slightly, and he quickly glanced back at the portrait, and then he didn't dare to stop and quickly turned his head to look at the mural, and after comparing it back and forth several times, he finally determined what he had in mind.

Isn't this a god!

Could it be that the source of these people's power is this statue?

Combined with the surrounding environment, Jiao Peien felt that the answer was already very clear, and there was hardly any controversy.

He suddenly realized in his heart.

Almost at the same time, the idol flickered, and then a bronze book appeared under the shrine.

Jiao Peien was stunned.

His form froze for a few seconds, and after a few moments, he hesitantly picked up the bronze book with both hands and opened it to read.

"God makes the roster and signs the name, can be blessed with the power of the five manifest spirit officials, and will shoulder the heavy responsibility of slaying demons and eliminating demons?" Jiao Peien quickly browsed and summarized its main content, feeling stunned and a little secretly excited.

No matter how casual his personality is, the possibility of attaining extraordinary power can't help but excite people.

"If I successfully register my name on it, will I be able to cure my frailty......" Jiao Peien muttered in a low voice, following what he thought, biting his finger and pressing down the handprint.

In an instant, his consciousness suddenly floated up, and his whole vision detached from the Huaguang Temple, and turned to a field that he had never seen before.

He looked down at the ground beneath his feet and vaguely felt a few disgusting auras, but before he could take a closer look, there was an urgent cry in his ears.

Jiao Peien opened his eyes.

He found that he was no longer at the railing outside, but lying on the bed in the guest house, surrounded by Jiao Mu and Longshan Dao Chang—and it was the former who had been shouting urgently.

"You're finally awake! I'm scared to death! I thought something was wrong with your body!" Jiao's mother saw that her little son finally got out of a coma, and her heart was immediately relieved, and her tense nerves finally slowed down.

Jiao Peien propped himself up with his elbows: "Mom, what happened just now?"

"Just now watching the night scene, you suddenly fainted," Longshan Daoren said on the side, "How are you feeling now, do you need to call ambulance personnel?"

"No...... No, I feel okay. Jiao Peien's mind turned, and he almost sorted out the ins and outs, and his expression was a little trance-like.

Jiao's mother wanted to object, but when she glanced at it, she suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, why is your finger bleeding?"

Jiao Peien followed his gaze and found that his right thumb was indeed broken, as if he had been bitten.

He froze.

This...... Isn't this a hallucination?

Daoist Longshan looked at the expressions of the mother and son, his expression was a little puzzled, he always felt that something was wrong with Jiao Peien, but he couldn't find a specific reason.

At this moment, Jiao Peien suddenly said: "Can you really ask God to help you in this world?"

The other two were a little baffled, they didn't understand that the other party suddenly asked such a question, and just wanted to answer out loud, but Jiao Peien didn't ask again, but said that he felt thirsty and hungry, and bluntly changed the topic.

Jiao Mu didn't care about this small detail.

Longshan Daoist squinted, the meaning of exploration in his eyes became stronger and stronger, and he looked quite interested, he wanted to continue to observe, but it was too late, so it was not good to disturb too much, and after a few simple words, he had to leave.

Only the mother and son of the Jiao family are left in the guest house.

Jiao's mother gathered around and asked this and that, for fear of making any more trouble, but after a long time, she didn't get a response.

She looked at Jiao Peien, who was a little dazed, and suddenly her heart chuckled: "Pei En, what's wrong with you?"

"Mom, I want to tell you something," Jiao Peien came back to his senses, "but before that, I want to ask, why was I chosen to be Luansheng Lingzi in the first place?"
