Chapter 31 Beishan Temple
Li Xuandu and Su Yunjiao walked on the streets of Ping'an County, and the surrounding environment revealed a depressing silence.
Both of them frowned slightly, their faces were solemn, and halfway through, Li Xuandu suddenly stopped, and a ghostly sound suddenly sounded around him, as if ten thousand ghosts were walking at night, and then he saw that the black fog around him seemed to come to life, among which countless black shadows kept flashing, and at the same time, the ground trembled violently, and a crack appeared, which continued to open outward, and the trees and walls collapsed at the passing place, and the smoke and dust rose everywhere, and there was a roar.
Then I saw more than a dozen ragged figures crawling out of this ravine, their complexion was as pale as a dead man, without half a trace of blood, and there were even more black holes in the two eye sockets, and there was nothing.
Li Xuandu's face was calm, and he waved the sleeves of his robe.
A chilling sword qi swept out, like a huge arc moon, cutting off the living corpse in front of him, but although the living corpse was divided into two sections, it was still immortal, and the upper body was prostrate on the ground, grasping the ground with ten fingers, crawling towards Li Xuandu like a four-legged snake.
Li Xuandu frowned, his sleeves shook, and the "Frog Jiao" and "Purple Phoenix" flew out of the two cuffs respectively, like two long rainbows intertwined in the air, flying through the heads of a group of living corpses, and these living corpses were as still as rotten as wood.
Su Yunjiao looked at the dead corpse and asked, "What are these things?"
Li Xuandu said: "Have you heard of the 'Soap Pavilion Three Refining'? These living corpses are the products of the 'Corpse Refining Array', they are all living people before they are alive, and they will not be at peace after death, so it seems that the entire city is probably already under the shroud of the formation." ”
Su Yunjiao only felt a chill on her back, and subconsciously held the hilt of the sword tightly.
Li Xuandu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "If it's just the 'Corpse Refining Array' and the 'Soul Refining Array', it's nothing, if the third 'Soul Refining Array' is also arranged, making this Beimang County town achieve the momentum of besieging the city, becoming a small world of its own, isolated from the internal and external breaths, then it is really a desperate death." ”
Su Yunjiao frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, how can a good Beimang county town become a Jedi for no reason, what kind of evil art does the Soap Pavilion Sect want to practice?"
Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said: "At the beginning, in a place called Jingzi Town on the border of Jingzhou, Yan Xuanji and I met the old Tibetan man who was collecting the soul of the person who was collecting the Heavenly Evil Destiny, fortunately, the old Tibetan man at that time was only an external incarnation, and we reluctantly repelled it. Unfortunately, I don't know much now, so I can only guess, and I don't know if it's accurate. ”
Su Yunjiao was silent, carefully recalling the various classics she had read in the past in the master, but unfortunately she hated less when the book was used, she was a lazy person on weekdays, and she couldn't even remember "visible Kunlun", where could she remember what kind of evil law this was, and couldn't help but complain to herself, secretly thinking that if her sister was here, she would definitely be able to see some clues.
Su Yunjiao asked, "Where are we going next?"
Li Xuandu looked at Su Yunjiao and said, "There are two choices next." The first choice, taking advantage of the fact that the big array has not yet been completed, this place is not a real dead land, and he will fight a way out and go out of the city. The second option is to live to die, to find the central array in the city, and fundamentally break this great array. ”
Li Xuandu stared at her and said in a deep voice: "The former is a way to survive by himself, and the latter is a way to help others, maybe it will be a dead end." Walking the rivers and lakes, there is no reason to put your own life on the line for the lives of others, whether to go or stay, you choose for yourself. ”
After Su Yunjiao heard this, she was silent immediately, and only after a long time did she speak: "You mean to choose the second way." ”
Li Xuandu nodded.
Su Yunjiao seemed to have made up some kind of determination: "I think about it, I'll go with you." ”
Li Xuandu asked: "Have you really thought about it? This may be a road of no return, you are the little fairy Su of Cihang Sect, you have a bright future, there is no need to risk it in this place for a group of irrelevant people." ”
Su Yunjiao asked rhetorically, "What about you, you are a famous Purple Mansion Sword Immortal, and there is no need to take risks in this place for a group of irrelevant people." ”
"If you say that, then the two of us are flattering each other. Li Xuandu stared at Su Yunjiao for another moment, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, I underestimated Su Xiaoxian, but you must focus on protecting yourself later." ”
Su Yunjiao is not a person who does not know the importance of it, and nodded.
The two soon came to a temple outside the city, and Li Xuan looked at it intently. Although he is not a monk, but over the years walking the rivers and lakes, absorbing the strengths of all families, there is still a simple ability to look at the qi, at this time looking at this temple, faintly visible black clouds rolling, the wind through the bloody rancid smell, the weight of the yin qi, more than other places in the city.
Su Yunjiao looked up and saw a plaque hanging high on the temple door, with the words "Beishan Temple" on it.
At this time, the temple gate was locked, and no entry was allowed.
Li Xuandu didn't want to break in from the front, and after looking around, he took Su Yunjiao to the side wall, first took out a "Evil Breaking Talisman" handed over to him by Nan Kezi, and with a pinch of two fingers, the rune paper began to burn on its own, and then he heard a muffled sound of "bang", and the eyes of the two of them suddenly cleared, as if the fog had been cleared.
Li Xuandu and Su Yunjiao stepped a little under their feet, and easily crossed the wall. Before his feet hit the ground, the fingertip talisman burned out and completely dissipated into ashes.
Li Xuandu took out another talisman seal, but this time he couldn't ignite it, and even the talisman itself began to reveal a damp meaning, which shows that the weight of the yin qi in this place has been so dense that it has turned into substance, that is, it has been manifested from the ethereal qi into moisture droplets that can be felt and seen, Li Xuandu had no choice but to put away the talisman seal and began to look around.
Inside the wall was a very narrow and cramped small square patio, but four feet square, overgrown with many weeds that had begun to wither and yellow, and it was obvious that no one had visited for a long time. Behind them was the wall they had turned over, a gable on the right, a sealed window on the left, and a small but locked portal in the direction of the left.
Li Xuandu reached out and pinched the lock that had rusted the keyhole, and tapped it twice with his index finger on the lock body, and then heard a "click" and the lock opened.
Su Yunjiao was surprised, this seems to be a thief's method of unlocking, but in fact it is an extremely clever method of using the qi machine, using the subtle qi machine to directly shake the spring in the lock, and not hurting the iron lock itself, this is not something that the ordinary innate realm can do, it is worthy of the former Zifu Sword Immortal, although the realm is gone, but the experience of the old Tao is still there.
After opening the door, Li Xuandu gently pushed the portal open with extremely gentle movements, and after making sure that there was no ambush on the other side of the door, he entered the portal with a cat's waist.
Su Yunjiao followed, and found that the other side of the door was a side hall, enshrined an unknown god, looking at its appearance, it was an elderly woman, thinking that it should be a certain "grandmother", "Niangniang" or "old mother" and other gods of the people here, not recognized by the imperial court, so the incense was also bleak, and the cloak on the body was already covered with thick dust, and the incense burner on the god case could not tell whether it was incense ash or dust.
Li Xuandu looked up at this statue, his face was shrouded in shadows, the shadows were too dark to see, and it was a little terrifying.
Buddhism and Taoism are known as "open light", which means that after the statue of the Buddha is molded, it needs to be consecrated by the monks, so that the Buddha and Bodhisattva can be invited to come to receive the residence, in popular terms, the world only knows that it is not easy to send God, but it is not clear that it is also very particular about inviting God, if the Buddha statue has not been opened, the true God will not come and the evil devil will live, so many of the places enshrined, not only the immortal Buddha is blessed, but all evil is rampant, and the ghosts and monsters occupy the magpie's nest.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial court will severely crack down on obscene shrines that do not comply with the etiquette law, but now that the troubled times are coming, the imperial court is also powerless, so there is a sage poem: "As soon as the wind and thunder rise from the earth, there will be a pile of white bones." People are fools and can still be trained, and demons are ghosts and ghosts. ”
At this moment, Su Yunjiao asked in a low voice, "How do you know that this will be where the eye of the array is?"
Li Xuandu replied: "Because only here is the most suitable." ”
