Dissipates upon contact. Once these Taoist priests touch the barrier, they will be knocked out, but they are still struggling to get out.
"This barrier is trapping them," Xu Zimo figured it out instantly.
Xu Zimo didn't pay attention to these people. He walked straight forward and came to the largest hall in this Taoist temple.
The main hall is about fifty meters high, with a gilded body and an oval shape above.
There are six big red pillars directly in front, surrounded by iron fences.
Xu Zimo walked up the steps and came to the front of the main hall. The plaque directly above said "Hall of Atonement".
He frowned slightly, pushed open the cover of the vermilion door, and entered the main hall with a creaking sound.
The hall is divided into several rooms. In front of the room that Xu Zimo just walked into, there are three statues.
From left to right, the first statue is all brown, with only the facial features being pure black.
He raised both hands, stood on the ground with his left foot, raised his right foot forward, and all the clothes he wore were wrapped in golden ribbons.
The statue in the middle is a one-eyed wolf. The wolf has only one eye and its hair is fiery red.
It is lying on its side on a high platform, somewhat similar to the lying posture of Maitreya Buddha, which looks weird and strange.
The statue on the right is a monk with black beads. The monk is wearing a cassock, with black beads, and his whole body is black.
Even his eyebrows, eyes and lips seemed to have been made up and looked very dark.
The monk's ears are so big that they seem to hang upside down from his earlobes.
"What is worshiped in this Taoist temple?" Xu Zimo looked at it in confusion.
At this moment, I heard a cough.
An old man wearing Taoist robes walked out of the room next to him. The old man's face was sallow and he looked very weak.
"Who are you?" The old man looked at Xu Zimo, his expression changed drastically, and he asked warily.
"I am a traveler passing by on this mountain," Xu Zimo replied.
"Are you kidding? There is a seal at the bottom of the mountain. How did you get up the mountain?" the old man said coldly.
The divine power around him was surging, and he looked at Xu Zimo with some eager eyes.
"I'm going to the Jiuzhou Territory and passing by here," Xu Zimo said.
"Besides, I haven't seen any seals."
"To go to Jiuzhou Territory, you have to climb other mountains. This White Holy Mountain has been closed for many years, didn't you know?" the old man said.
"I haven't been here either, I've always come with others," Xu Zimo shook his head.
He looked at the old man and asked: "Are you Master Qiankun?"
"It seems that you are not just passing by, you also know my name," Master Qiankun said with slightly narrowed eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, it was your disciple named Xuan Yu who told me," Xu Zimo replied.
"Xuan Yu, he brought you in," Master Qiankun was silent for a moment.
He looked at Xu Zimo, his expression seemed to be struggling, and Xu Zimo felt murderous intent from the other person.
After being torn between killing or not killing for a long time, Master Qiankun finally just sighed.
Said: "Don't go anywhere tonight, just stay here and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Your Black Demon Temple is quite lively," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
"Leave here and forget everything, it won't do you any harm," Master Qiankun said.
"Don't get involved, just pretend nothing happened."
"It seems you don't want to say it," Xu Zimo said.
"What's the use of saying it, just stay well," Master Qiankun sat down on the futon next to him and recited something silently.
Xu Zimo didn't force him. If Master Qiankun didn't want to say anything, he wouldn't even force him to die.
It's just that he is more curious about what kind of beings are being worshipped.
Xu Zimo did not leave the main hall, but went to several other houses to look around, and the old man did not stop him.
The other rooms are similar, and the creature enshrined in them, Xu Zimo, has never been heard of.
It can even be said that this is not a Taoist temple at all.
……………
I was speechless all night, and when the sky got slightly brighter the next day.
Hearing three more bells ringing from the Taoist temple, Master Qiankun sat here all night.
When the bell rang, he stood up and left the hall with Xu Zimo.
"Master," the two of them had just walked out of the hall when they met a fat Taoist priest.
Xu Zimo, the fat Taoist, remembered that he had met him last night, and he was running desperately towards the outside of the barrier, just like Xuan Yu was in the same state.
"Master, is there an outsider here?" The fat Taoist looked at Xu Zimo and said with some surprise.
"Don't worry about it. Clean the Hall of Atonement in the morning," Master Qiankun said calmly.
The fat Taoist nodded and then walked into the hall humming a little tune.
Xu Zimo felt that the other person was completely different from last night, as if he had a dual personality.
"I am becoming more and more interested in your Taoist temple," Xu Zimo said with a smile.
Master Qiankun didn't say anything and took Xu Zimo directly to Yuanfang Pavilion.
Let the group leave immediately.
When Xu Zimo arrived at Yuanfang Pavilion, he found Cai Yue and the accompanying servants chatting with Xuan Yu.
"Sister Yue, why did you tie me up," Xuan Yu asked in confusion.
Before Cai Yue had time to answer, she saw Xu Zimo and others walking in.
"Master," Xuanyu quickly shrank his neck when he saw Master Qiankun.
"Leave," Master Qiankun said calmly as he looked at Cai Yue and his group, his expression becoming increasingly ugly.
Cai Yue looked at Xu Zimo and saw Xu Zimo shaking his head slightly.
"Xuan Yun," Master Qiankun called out softly.
"Master, I'm here," a shout came from the distance, and then a man in a black cloak was seen running from the distance.
This man was ordinary in appearance, but he only had a pair of ears, which were as big as screens.
"Send them down the mountain," Master Qiankun said calmly.
Then he looked at Xuan Yu and said, "Come to the Atonement Hall with me."
After he finished speaking, he walked away without caring about Xu Zimo and the others.
"Guys, please," Na Xuan Yun said with a smile.
Xu Zimo didn't say anything more and walked outside at the same time as Cai Yue and others.
"Wait a minute," Xuan Yu next to him shouted quickly.
He pulled Xu Zimo and others aside and quietly took out a few sachets from his pocket.
He said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. I have prayed for these sachets, so they are just a greeting gift."
Cai Yue touched the other party's head, smiled and put away the sachet.
Then several people followed Xuanyun and left the Taoist temple and walked down the mountain.
"This is the first time I've seen outsiders go up the mountain since I was a child," Xuanyun said with some novelty.
"What did you do last night?" Xu Zimo looked at Xuan Yun and asked.
"I didn't do anything last night. I just meditated and slept in my room," Xuan Yun replied gently.
"It seems these people don't remember anything," Xu Zimo squinted slightly.
