Chong Yun walked into the blue temple in a little depressed mood. The moment he stepped into the temple gate, the giant python-like vines around the temple gate naturally withered and fell off.
Gu Liubai and Princess Jing followed in and saw that it was indeed a City God Temple inside.
This City God Temple is no different from usual. In one of the halls, there is a clay sculpture of the City God.
The sky above is still black, but the black is lighter, like a layer of black yarn.
A faint light shone down from the sky.
The walls around the temple are still covered with vines, and the strange and tall buildings outside are still like ghosts, but all the objects in the temple have not changed at all. Gu Liubai felt that the speed of the true energy passing has obviously slowed down.
Moreover, with Chongyun waved his hand, a slight thunder sounded in the air, and the light twisted slightly. Seven or eight people appeared in the open space in front of the City God Temple.
These people were like pilgrims who came to burn incense to the City God in Pingkangfang, but they were motionless at this time, as if they were frozen.
"All these people in Pingkangfang are affected by this magical array. Do they stand on the spot like this?" Gu Liubai couldn't help but frown and asked Li Tong.
Li Tong whispered softly, "Uncle Gu, they seemed to be standing there on the spot, but their mental power was not as strong as our monks. Their spirits were affected at this time. In their consciousness, they were probably walking somewhere in ghosts and monsters. After the magical power array dissipated, they not only ended their lives, but also had to get seriously ill."
Chongyun said in a deep voice, "It is inevitable to lose your life, but it is not necessarily true that you have a serious illness. Our Baiyun Temple has the righteous elixir to give alms, which can save many people from this disaster."
Gu Liubai just smiled.
Chong Yun couldn't help but angrily, "Why are you laughing at?"
Gu Liubai said calmly, "I just think that Fellow Daoist Chongyun, you are a bit off-the-stop the horse. For ordinary people in Chang'an, a serious illness is certainly a headache, but which one is more important than a serious illness or a life-breaking life? Compared with a life-breaking life, this serious illness is nothing, right?"
Chong Yun took a deep breath and said slowly, "The life-breaking caused by this magical power array is not possible unless there are a large number of spiritual medicines to cultivate the foundation and strengthen the essence, even my Baiyun Temple cannot solve it."
Gu Liubai stopped talking about this issue, but turned around but looked at Li Tong curiously and asked, "Mr. Li Tong, the people from Pingkangfang are all affected by this spiritual power. They stood there on the spot. Why can't I see them? And why didn't we happen to bump into some people when we were walking before?"
Li Tong explained, "This kind of magic array affects perception. The ordinary people are weak, just like things that do not shine in the darkness. You naturally cannot sense them. However, those who have been sent here by methods before have qi communication with this magic array, so you can see them. It looks like they are on their heads. As for you not bump into these ordinary people, it is because they are like trees like this, standing there motionlessly. Outside this temple, you see that they are very likely to be some bizarre things, maybe like a monument, a wall, or a strange tree. You won't take the initiative to bump into them, and the princess and I can roughly sense it out, so we will naturally not take you to bump into them."
Seeing that Gu Liubai didn't understand these things, Chong Yun felt a little bored the more he listened. In addition, Gu Liubai was talking to Li Tong at this time, Princess Jing was still standing quietly beside Gu Liubai, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.
He wanted to look at Princess Jing a few more times, but the more he looked, the more he felt sour he could only force his eyes away.
He wanted to find a place to sit down, and glanced at him and found that there was only a bench in one corner of the hall.
Just as he was about to go in and sit down, his eyes were in purity, but he heard Gu Liubai's voice in his ears, "Nephew Li Tong, why is the yang energy here special and the evil and yin energy it is less invaded?"
Li Tong shook his head and said, "I don't know this either. Maybe the incense here is very popular, people gather on weekdays, and the earth's energy is a bit special. Uncle Chongyun, do you know why?"
Chong Yun didn't want to speak at this time, but he was silent for a moment and said, "There is another possibility. It may happen that there is a Dharma Assembly. Some practitioners have done rituals here. I feel that my vitality has not dissipated, so it causes the yang energy here to be extraordinary, and form an excellent refuge in this magical array."
After pausing, he glanced at Gu Liubai and said, "If this Holy Palace was not ineffective, I could leave here temporarily and find a way to bring some of your people to take refuge."
Gu Liubai knew how to make Chong Yun uncomfortable, so after listening to Chong Yun's statement, he turned his head and whispered to Princess Jing, "Isn't he uncomfortable with me?"
Princess Jing glanced at him and said, "Who told you to be so incompetent?"
Gu Liubai just smiled slightly.
Chong Yun looked at Princess Jing, although she seemed to be mocking Gu Liubai, but there was a smile in her eyes. His face couldn't help but look ugly, and he couldn't help but scold Gu Liubai a few words in his heart.
But at this time, Gu Liubai looked at him and asked seriously, "Fellow Daoist Chongyun, what kind of rituals have you done here?"
Chong Yun couldn't help but ridicule Gu Liubai, feeling a little annoyed, feeling that he shouldn't have lost his composure again and again. At this time, listening to Gu Liubai's question, he could only answer seriously, "It's like the evil-eliminating Dharma Assembly. Some powerful practitioners died, and some people do rituals to eliminate the spiritual resentment of this practitioner."
"Why should this kind of Dharma Assembly be held in the Chenghuang Temple?" Gu Liubai frowned slightly and asked, "Is there such a practice in Chang'an?"
Chong Yun looked at Li Tong, and Li Tong honestly replied, "There is no custom of eliminating evil in the City God Temple."
Gu Liubai couldn't help but feel a stern in his heart, and then asked, "The so-called powerful practitioner should refer to the eighth-level practitioner? Otherwise, even if an ordinary sixth-level practitioner is dead, his spiritual strength will not be enough to leave any hidden dangers, right?"
Li Tong nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, as usual, if there are eight-grade practitioners in the city die, it should be decided by the temple sacrificial envoy under the Ministry of Rites. If it is determined that these eight-grade practitioners may have mental power after the fall, they will eliminate the evil in some specific altar methods. Perhaps many eight-grade practitioners in the city die during this period, and the Ministry of Rites itself is unable to perform functions because they have eliminated the forest party, so they put them in this place."
Gu Liubai shook his head and said, "Why do I think it's not that simple?"
Princess Jing frowned slightly, and she felt that Gu Liubai would not speak nonsense.
Sure enough, she looked at Gu Liubai, and saw that Gu Liubai had already whispered to the statue of the City God and said, "Look at whether this statue of the City God is a new one?"
Princess Jing was stunned. She looked at the statue of the City God, feeling that the oil paint on her body was indeed covered with a layer of oil, and she looked like she had just finished it.
"Don't you think this City God is a little weird?"
Gu Liubai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I think it looks quite like an acquaintance."
Chong Yun, Li Tong and Princess Jing all looked at the statue of the City God carefully.
This time they saw something was wrong.
This statue of the City God is very fat. Logically speaking, the fatter the city God is, the more happy and kind the more it looks, but the face of this statue of the City God seems a little gloomy and crazy.
The clothes on its body are extremely happy, with bright red colors, but when you look closely at the patterns on the corners of the clothes, they look like patterns on the wedding dress.
Although Li Tong is a confidential person from Li's family, he is only responsible for protecting Princess Jing's safety on weekdays and does not involve other things in the city. So for a moment, he only felt that the newly-sculpted City God was indeed a bit weird, but Chong Yun suddenly thought of his personal, "Zhuang Ruyu?"
Gu Liubai nodded slowly.
For some reason, Princess Jing felt a chill in her heart.
She knew the story of the banker lady who was hidden by Cui Family in Qinghe.
After Zhuang Ruyu died, she also heard about it and knew that the woman was extremely fat and had been hiding in the sedan chair back then. She had never taken off her wedding dress and became crazy because of the stimulation of extermination.
In her opinion, being used by Cui Shi in Qinghe was also a relief for this woman.
But at this moment, she looked at the statue of the City God, but she felt that the City God's face was becoming more and more like the face of an obese woman.
Chongyun's body also had a bitter cold. At the same time, as if awakened by his "Zhuang Ruyu", the aura of the entire City God Temple suddenly changed drastically. The statue of the City God, which had originally had a strange face, suddenly had red eyes and sticky blood flowed out of it.
Two streams of blood kept flowing out of the eye sockets, emitting a foul smell.
"The corpse smells smelly!"
Li Tong looked at the statue of the City God and changed color in horror. "Someone sealed the body in this statue of the City God, maybe more than one sentence."
Gu Liubai approached Princess Jing a little and said in a deep voice, "This evil-eliminating Dharma Assembly should have a big problem. This place is probably not a safe haven, but rather the most dangerous place in this magical power array."
boom!
At this moment, the Yin Qi in the City God mud statue completely exploded, and the stone platform below completely exploded. The rolling Yin Qi and the corpse water that seeped out like a waterfall instantly stirred the broken mud block like a paste under the guidance of the strange magical power.
The fat and strong city god mud turned into a legless bride with a rotten body. Its face was exactly the same as Zhuang Ruyu that Gu Liubai saw that day, but his body turned into layers of red rotten things, and layers of yin energy surrounded it, forming an extremely strange and amazing wedding dress.
There was a slight sound of the rotten red mud, and many white bones fell out.
These white bones were spliced ​​together, knocking on each other's bones, and making strange music.
Chapter completed!
