Chapter 212: Rainstorm Night Stay at the Mountain Temple
Originally, Xiang Ming just wanted to persuade Meng Juntong to treat the rivers and lakes more calmly, so that he could walk with less worries, and it was okay to be happy and revenge. But who would have thought that in the end they would talk about right and wrong, good and evil, and finally break up unhappily.
It was completely dark, and the three of them kept walking, but they didn't find any foothold.
Suddenly, there was a dull sound of rolling thunder in the sky, followed by a succession of lightning flashes, and it looked like it was about to rain heavily.
Meng Juntong looked around, there was really no place to shelter from the rain.
Xiang Ming ran back quickly from a distance, because with Bai Yu, the speed of the three of them could not go too fast, so Xiang Ming took the initiative to explore the way ahead.
"There's a hill temple five miles ahead, we can go there to take shelter from the rain. Xiang Ming pointed in that direction.
"Temple!" Bai Yu subconsciously tugged at the corner of Meng Juntong's clothes, she seemed to be very afraid of the word temple.
Meng Juntong stretched out his hand and pressed Meng Juntong's head: "The temple is full of immortals, you don't have to be afraid." ”
Bai Yu shook his head frantically: "No! No, there are not only immortals in the temple, but also vicious monsters!"
Meng Juntong's body was stunned, how could Bai Yu suddenly say such a thing, she looked up at Xiang Ming.
Xiang Ming's brows were furrowed, as if Bai Yu had said something.
It seems that the so-called mountain temple is indeed not peaceful.
But even if it's not peaceful, you can't just get caught in the rain in the mountains.
The yin qi in the mountains and forests is already heavy, and Bai Yu's physique is still very weak, and being impregnated with yin qi will inevitably cause a serious illness.
"Let's go and see. After speaking, Meng Juntong directly picked up the white feather and ran in the direction that Xiang Ming pointed to.
Xiang Ming followed closely, but his hand was already tightly gripping the hilt of the saber behind him.
The mountain temple just now gave him a very bad feeling, if it weren't for the thunder and the rain was about to fall, I'm afraid he wouldn't have chosen to settle there at all.
From childhood to adulthood, Xiang Ming has a very keen perception of evil and sneaky things, and this perception has also helped him to save the day many times when he is out walking in the rivers and lakes.
People in the world originally had some instincts to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but now many people have disappeared.
There is no mistake in what Bai Yu said, among the shrines in the mountains, in addition to the righteous gods of the mountains and rivers, there will also be extremely vicious mountain ghosts and spirits, doves occupy the magpie's nest.
In particular, some famous mountains and rivers that have not been canonized by the imperial government and recognized by the Confucian Academy are many of the places where demons and evil reside.
Many of the temples in the mountains are just offerings made by some mountain people in order to beg for ghosts and evil spirits not to come and disturb them.
This Fuji Mountain has been a fierce place in the eyes of the people since ancient times, and almost no one has ever seen anyone come out of the deep mountains of Fuji Mountain.
The sudden appearance of a mountain temple here is really a bit weird.
The heavy rain fell without warning, even Meng Juntong and Xiang Ming's feet were fast enough, but by the time they rushed into the mountain temple, they were already falling one by one.
Meng Juntong and Xiang Ming are okay, both of them are martial arts masters in the Tang realm, this cold can't hurt the martial arts bodies of the two, but Bai Yu, shivering from the cold, and his little lips are already white.
Fortunately, there were some dead wood and hay in this mountain temple, so Xiang Ming quickly took out the fire white and lit a bonfire.
"Ahh
The Qingfeng sword in Meng Juntong's hand and the sword on Xiang Ming's waist were unsheathed almost at the same time, protecting both sides of the white feather.
The fire lit up and illuminated the surroundings, but there was no monster in Bai Yu's mouth.
"It's a god statue," Xiang Ming realized what had scared Bai Yu.
It turns out that there are ancient statues of gods erected around this mountain temple.
Rather than being a god idol, I'm afraid it's more appropriate to call it a ghost idol.
There is a temple full of more than a dozen statues, large and small, and almost none of them are benevolent.
"This looks a bit like the legendary Hell Temple. Xiang Ming put away his sword and looked around.
Meng Juntong was a little curious: "What is the Hell Temple." ”
"The Hell Shrine is a place used to worship the Netherworld Ghost King, you look at these statues, although many people don't know them, but there are a few statues that are very similar to the Ten Directions Ghost King in the Ten Realms of Hell. Xiang Ming stretched out his finger as he explained.
"That three-phase law head, six-armed ghost claw is the Great Expedition Ghost King, which is the strongest among the ten ghost kings, in the early years, there was a cult in the territory of Dachu, that is, the Great Expedition Ghost King of Faith, which once set off a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to another statue adjacent to the statue of the Great Expedition Ghost King: "That's the Dry Bone Ghost King, some people call him the Dry Bone General, according to legend, in the hell realm, the Dry Bone Ghost King commands hundreds of millions of white bone armies. ”
Meng Juntong listened carefully to Xiang Ming's explanation.
It stands to reason that Meng Juntong, who was born in Shaohua City, knows more about the Ten Directions Hell than Xiang Ming, an ordinary man, after all, their grievances with Huangquan Dao have lasted for tens of thousands of years.
But in fact, Yellow Springs is not hell.
And the Yellow Springs Road is just a gateway to hell.
The real thing about hell is rarely mentioned in Shaohua City, and it may even be a taboo existence.
After all, the life and death of the people of Shaohua City are not in the reincarnation of the Three Realms and Six Realms.
Meng Juntong changed into clean clothes for Bai Yu and sat by the fire with her in her arms to keep warm.
And Bai Yu's face gradually improved, although the two brows were still tightly wrinkled together, fortunately, his body had warmed up, so he would not wake up seriously ill.
Xiang Ming stayed outside the house alone, spending the night here, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, knowing that as long as the sky was slightly bright, they would leave here immediately.
The rain became heavier and heavier in the second half of the night, and a thick vapor rose from the entire forest.
The scenery more than ten steps away, Xiang Ming could no longer see clearly.
A faint sleepiness began to envelop Xiang Ming, and the upper and lower eyelids unconsciously began to fight.
"No, Miss Meng be careful!" Xiang Ming's eyes widened violently, and the sword in his hand was already unsheathed.
He has received strict training from Long Yingwei since he was a child, even if he doesn't sleep for three days and three nights, as long as he stays on guard, Xiang Ming will never feel the slightest tiredness, but the silent sleepiness just now made him alert, which is obviously something attacking him.
But his shout did not receive any response, and when he turned around again, he saw that Meng Juntong had already fallen asleep in front of the fire with Bai Yu in his arms, and it seemed that it was still a little late.
