Chapter 71: Heaven and Earth do not borrow the law
In a ruined temple, the Buddha statues are gone and only the altar with the stone statues is left.
On the altar where the Buddha statue is enshrined, there is an incense burner. Next to the incense burner, there are two red candles with a faint light.
A large hole was opened in the wall on the left side of the temple, and the dark wind poured into the temple from the large hole.
The sky is filled with dust, but the two red candles cannot be blown out.
A Taoist with disheveled hair, his Taoist robes were in tatters and covered with dirt.
Under the candlelight, illusory shadows are drawn.
The sloppy Taoist paced back and forth in front of the altar, his hands pointing like swords, criss-crossing back and forth, and chanting: "The world is infinite, the universe borrows the law, the world is infinite..."
Jiang Daoming stood aside and looked at the Taoist carefully.
Sloppy, with messy hair covering his face, making it difficult to see his face clearly.
The Taoist seemed to be going crazy, constantly reciting the Dharma, and pacing back and forth faster and faster.
Wow
The dark wind howled and poured into the temple, bringing with it a shrill sound.
The two candles on the altar suddenly jumped and turned blood red. The entire ruined temple was as red as blood.
"Uh-huh..."
Suddenly, the Taoist raised his head and threw his messy hair behind him, revealing a rough face.
He had a beard and his face was glowing with blood, as if he was bleeding.
The Taoist's eyes were wide open, glowing with scarlet light, and he stared at Jiang Daoming: "The world is infinite, why don't the universe borrow the law?"
Jiang Daoming was slightly startled and looked at the crazy Taoist. Is there no way to borrow the law?
How does he know why Qiankun doesn't borrow the Dharma?
"Why, why..."
The crazy Taoist looked like he was crazy, his hands turned into claws, and he grabbed Jiang Daoming: "Tell me, why don't you borrow the law? Why..."
"These years, a breath, build an illusion, extraordinary in life."
Jiang Daoming sighed softly, and the body-protecting dragon elephant spontaneously sprang, golden light shone, and the crazy Taoist ruined the temple and disappeared in an instant.
In the dark night, six dragons and six elephants circled to protect the whole body.
Jiang Daoming slowly opened his eyes, and Liang and Jun were staring at him nervously.
"Palace Master, are you okay?" the two asked with concern.
"Nothing, just a wisp of breath." Jiang Daoming waved his hand.
Liang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You have been in trance for an hour, can you not worry about it?"
"An hour? No feeling at all." Jiang Daoming was slightly startled, and then said: "This ruined temple, the Taoist, really has some ability. After a long time, he can still create an illusion with a wisp of breath."
"Palace Master, what did you see?" Jiang Yuanliang asked curiously.
Liang Jun also looked curious. He used to rush by during the day, but this time he breathed in the cold air and was quickly awakened by Jiang Daoming.
"It's almost the same as you. I just saw the Taoist's face clearly and asked me why Qiankun didn't borrow the Dharma."
Jiang Daoming said calmly.
"Why doesn't Qiankun borrow the law?" The two of them were stunned, looking confused.
They are not Taoists and cannot answer this question.
"Okay, go to sleep. We'll be on our way early tomorrow morning." Jiang Daoming waved his hand, letting the two of them rest.
The two of them fell asleep peacefully. Jiang Daoming activated the protective dragon elephant to protect them, and he also fell asleep.
With the body-protecting dragon elephant around, there were no more accidents.
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the darkness, Jiang Daoming woke up on time, and the two of them were still sleeping soundly.
After waking up the two of them, Jiang Daoming ate dry food and opened the wine bag, only to find that there was no wine in it: "It's really unlucky, the wine is gone."
"Palace Master, if you drink sparingly, you won't run out of food so quickly." Liang Jun said helplessly.
If he hadn't been on the road and had only this little wine, Jiang Daoming would have probably finished it in one day.
"When we wait until Tianfeng City, let Wenjie treat us and let the palace master drink enough." Jiang Yuanliang said with a smile.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Jiang Daoming waved his riding whip and hit the road again.
There is no wine and no taste, so I rush to Tianfeng City early and drink to my heart's content.
The three of them set out on the road and sped along without encountering any more thieves.
Two hours later, the three of them came to a dilapidated temple. The temple was in tatters and had a big hole in the wall.
Just like in fantasy!
The ruined temple is surrounded by open space, without vegetation and trees, facing the scorching sun.
"Let's go, Palace Master." Liang Jun said.
Jiang Daoming nodded, withdrew his gaze, and drove away.
Far away from the ruined temple, walking through the mountains and forests, the sound of running water came, and not long after, I saw a small lake with clear water.
The three of them stopped, filled their water bladders, and continued on the road into the dense forest.
Passing through the dense forest, there are mountains ahead. The road is between two mountains. It is quite spacious, three meters wide.
The three of them walked side by side. Jiang Yuanliang raised his head, looked around, and said with a smile: "Brother Jun, tell me, is this terrain suitable for an ambush?"
"Don't be so cynical, or two thieves will pop out... Palace Master, look at it."
Liang Jun looked up, his expression changed, and he pointed to the top of the mountain on the left.
Jiang Daoming looked up and saw a tree on the hilltop on the left. A young woman in pink clothes was hanging on the tree.
A vine, like a rope, wrapped around the woman's neck, hanging her up.
"You guys wait a moment, I'll go take a look."
Jiang Daoming slapped his horse on the back, jumped up, and performed the Dragon Elephant Qinggong, walking on the mountain as if on the ground.
After a few breaths, Jiang Daoming had already arrived in front of the tree and hugged the woman with one hand, his hand as cold as a piece of ice.
Jiang Daoming frowned, cut off the vines with his true energy, and flew down.
However, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, opened her mouth and bit Jiang Daoming.
Buzz
The body-protecting dragon elephant spontaneously appeared, and black air emerged from the woman's body. Her eyes closed, her neck tilted, and there was no movement.
After landing with both feet on the ground, they laid the woman's body flat, turned over and dismounted, and began to inspect it.
"There was a cold air just now. It must be the woman who absorbed the air flow." Jiang Daoming said.
Liang Jun checked and found that there were vine marks on the woman's neck, but no other injuries: "She should have died around midnight last night. This person's body was loose and fleshy. He did not look like a martial artist. He should have been an ordinary person. How could he appear here?"
this?"
"This is quite a lot of money." Jiang Yuanliang took off the woman's purse, weighed it, and said, "This is at least fifty Daxia coins."
"She can bring so much money. Looking at the fabric of her clothes, she should be a maid from a wealthy family." Liang Jun thought: "If I guess correctly, there should be someone else in front of me."
"We'll find out on our way."
Jiang Daoming raised his palm, and the Dragon Elephant's true energy sank into the hilltop nearby. The ground exploded, earth and rocks flew up, and a hole was exposed: "I don't know who's name, but I can only help you bury yourself in peace."
After burying the woman, the three of them continued on their way.
Not long after, they saw seven or eight corpses again. These corpses all died in the same way. They were all strangled by vines.
The corpses were male and female, some were maids, and some were dressed as guards.
"This big family doesn't follow official roads, so it takes small roads." Liang Jun complained.
After burying the body, the three of them continued on their way.
"Go quickly, go quickly, and return the same way before it gets dark." A panicked voice sounded.
Horses neighed and there was the sound of carriages. Eight people pulled the carriages and anxiously headed towards where Jiang Daoming was.
"Huh? Sure enough, there is someone." Jiang Yuanliang's eyes narrowed and he said loudly: "Who is in front, what happened, and why did you turn back?"
An old man with half-white hair led the horse, and behind him were seven middle-aged men dressed as guards, guarding the carriage.
The old man glanced at the three of them and said warily: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Jiang Daoming flipped his hand and a token appeared: "Master of Daxia Demon Slayer Hall, these two are my slayers."
"It turns out to be the master of the Demon Elimination Hall." The old man looked relieved and cupped his hands and said: "The huge rocks ahead block the road, and there are also demonic energies intertwined. The little old man can only lead people to turn back. This place is dangerous, and the master of the hall is asked to leave early.
