Chapter 173: Burning Oil: Flourishing and Declining
PS: Thank you for your tips today. Almost tipping baldness. Thank you.
.......
In the past few days, the cave personnel living in the northwest corner of the Great Compassion Temple, their families, and even the royal guards have been a little uncomfortable.
I don't know when something strange has changed here.
At midnight, families can always encounter some indescribable, strange and unpredictable phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense.
For example, you will always hear an inexplicable knock on the door.
Or in a trance, seeing the ancestors who have passed away.
Some people still hear their names being called all the time, looking for prestige, but they don't get any response.
All in all, in short, all kinds of strange things tug at everyone's heartstrings and make it impossible for everyone to live in peace.
The upper floor of the Temple of Great Compassion has also been inspected, but nothing has been found.
Since no one was killed or injured, it had to be left untouched.
However, the upper echelons of the Great Compassion Temple still forbade these cave personnel to make up ghost stories to their families. Originally, they wanted to make more ghost stories popular, to see if they could make the experiment of the Nine Shades and Eighteen Prisons more suitable and the progress accelerated.
But now it seems that the situation is a little out of control, and naturally people dare not continue to spread ghost stories.
On the contrary, the cave personnel are helping the royal family to do a major event that benefits the country and the people, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefits are in the future.
At the same time, some of the latest farming tools and text books were also released, making the outside world mistakenly believe that the royal family is really studying something in the direction of people's livelihood.
For a time, everyone's longing for the royal family arose.
Even some news was deliberately leaked to the outside world, which also made many forces slow down the snooping of the Great Compassion Temple, and even gave up the secret of spying on the cave.
Of course, there are some excepts!
For example, Kannon-in!
It is strictly guarded against the royal family, staring closely, and never believes that the long-rumored mystery of the cave in the Great Compassion Temple will be used by the royal family in order to study the people's livelihood!
Just fool the kids!
If it's for the sake of studying people's livelihood, why is it so strictly guarded?
Foolish!
now
Kannon Temple
Elder Jin Chan, the presiding officer of the Guanyin Academy, sat on top of the tall building and looked at the sea of clouds.
In this era, he has hardly changed from him more than a hundred years later, his body is also slightly rickety, and his hair is gray.
It's just that, compared with him more than a hundred years later, he doesn't have such a rich and trembling story message at this time. If you look closely, there is no such thing as alienation on the body.
Even the pupils in the eyes are not snake pupils that are set up as a slit, but normal pupils similar to those of a human.
"What little moves are the royal family going on? It's been a long time, and it looks like these guys are starting to get restless again. ”
Elder Jin Cicada had a cold face, and as he spoke, he slowly stroked the sleeve of his shirt.
A pitch-black snake spiraled out of its sleeve. Cold, ruthless eyes glanced at the people around them, and then burrowed back into their sleeves.
A middle-aged monk, who was also an elder, glanced at Elder Jin Chan's sleeve with a hint of fear, wiped the unwarranted cold sweat on his forehead, calmed his mind for a moment, and then said, "The royal family seems to be studying something dangerous. The long-rumored mystery of the cave in the Great Compassion Temple must not be underestimated. ”
"I've stepped up to send people to investigate, but the royal family is still strictly guarding there, and the spies sent in are all lost inside, and I won't be able to find any useful information for a while. ”
"Oh!"
Hearing this, Elder Jin Cicada was noncommittal, and his face was still expressionless.
The people around him were all terrified.
The calmer it is, the worse it gets!
The elder who was in charge of spying on the royal family's intelligence broke out in a cold sweat.
"No..... It's not for nothing ... There is no information. ”
"Host, I heard that the Temple of Great Compassion has been haunted recently, and there have been all kinds of ghost stories, similar to ghosts knocking on the door, don't look back, open the door to welcome ghosts, and so on. ”
"Perhaps, they are studying the land of the Nine Shadows......"
The elder stopped talking.
"Haha, the land of the Nine Shadows? That place has long been shattered and disappeared for four or five hundred years, and I said that if you don't have any definite news, just say no, why bother to fool us with all this nonsense, hearsay. ”
Elder Qiu sneered.
As the second presiding officer after Jin Cicada, he was already the second elder of the Guanyin Academy more than a hundred years ago.
Its status is not much lower than that of the golden cicada.
And for some reasons, he is not too afraid of the golden cicada hosting.
Hearing Elder Qiu's ridicule, the elder who spoke turned red with embarrassment and opened his mouth: "No..... No... I didn't have ......"
"That's it!"
"True and false, false and true. The land of nine secluded places is not impossible. ”
"Although it has been shattered, as a place of terror and taboo that has been under constant pressure for countless eras in the world, who can say that they will not recover?"
"When the Nine Shadows Land was still there, the world used the power of the Nine Shadows Land to run rampant and domineering demons, and even set off evil demon disasters, you have also seen in some inheritance books, that kind of majestic and terrifying power, can it really disappear at will?"
"Just like the thirty-three heavens, those high-ranking immortals, even after the great tribulation of heaven and earth five hundred years ago, haven't they recovered one by one now?"
Elder Jin Cicada did not laugh, and after hearing this information, he said with a solemn face.
"This ...... Presiding, do you really think that the royal family is studying the power of the Nine Shadows?
When Elder Qiu heard this, he was also stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly.
"Yes or no, check carefully, and you'll know. ”
The Golden Cicada presided over a deep glance at the elder who had reported the information before, and the latter nodded and let out a long sigh.
It's a fluke.
"And, during this time, I was always a little nervous. It always felt like something big was going to happen. ”
"A few days ago, there was a thunderbolt in the sky over the country of Wusi, and I played until the thunder fell, that kind of power, rich story information, even I didn't dare to snoop too much. But it can be felt that the heavens and the earth seem to be wailing and angry. ”
"At the beginning of the birth of powerful demons, it is often accompanied by heavenly jealousy, and I can't perceive what it will be. In short, during this time, I carefully explored the entire territory of Wusi Kingdom, and also focused on the Great Compassion Temple. ”
"You go and tell the host of the Great Compassion Temple, I don't care what he and the royal family are studying, it's best not to let me find out, once it is discovered, then I, Guanyin Temple, do my best, not hesitate to fight, and destroy the cave!"
Elder Jin Cicada slowly glanced around and commanded.
When the people around heard this, they nodded solemnly.
"Cooking oil with fire, flourishing and declining, eventful autumn!"
Looking at the white clouds outside the Guanyin Courtyard, looking at the clouds and clouds, Elder Jin Cicada sighed deeply.
The feeling of uneasiness is constantly increasing.
Willies!
But there is nothing to be done.
What the hell is going to happen?
