My whole body was sore and tired, and the pain in my Dantian was felt faintly in my dream.
The consciousness was blurred, retracted, and became clear. The darkness in the field of vision faded away like a canvas, the moss-patterned stone steps appeared in front again, and the outline of the Taoist temple gradually emerged.
'I passed out...why are I here again?'
Chen Yuan walked up the stone steps. The clouds in the sky moved away, revealing a ray of sunshine. Butterflies were flying among the weeds and wild flowers. She was a little more alive than before. Could it be because there was an extra statue of a god?
The door leaf is still collapsed and crooked, but the bronze tripod inside has been straightened, and the green smoke is slowly spreading, filling the air with a faint scent of sandalwood.
"this……"
After bypassing the bronze tripod, Chen Yuan looked at the top of the main hall. I don't know when there was an extra door plaque.
"...The Hall of Renjies." He murmured the three words above, then reached out towards the door of the hall and pressed it.
squeak--
Pushing open the main hall, the heavy door leaves let out an old groan, and the sunlight pushed the darkness inside to spread, and the copper crane lampposts ignited silently with flames.
Sure enough, in the empty hall, on the right side of the statue of Guan Gong, on the altar, was a fierce man holding a snake spear eight feet in length, wearing black clothes and black armor, with an angry look, as if he wanted to fight with the enemy.
"This position really belongs to the Third Master."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands towards the statue. Based on his previous guess, he reached out to touch the altar, and the previous message suddenly appeared in his mind.
Only this time it's more detailed.
Bond: Door God (missing two)
Chen Yuan suddenly retracted his hand as if he had been shocked. The information that appeared in his mind made him speechless. No wonder the two men's swords attacked at the same time and were bounced back.
It turns out that the magic produced by the door gods composed of Guan and Zhang can not only resist, but also prevent witchcraft and evil spells.
'Queer...could it be that there are two more door gods?'
Chen Yuan looked at the several-foot-tall statues and looked around Guan and Zhang. From the history and mythology he knew, the remaining two statues should be Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong.
In other words, the four of them must be put together to be considered a complete doorkeeper.
Hiss~~
Chen Yuan glanced across the main hall and felt his scalp tightening. The empty altars were densely lined up, and the woodcarving show was going to be performed until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
List……
kite……
Quickly place us on the altar...
The sound like an ancient bell echoed in the hall again. Chen Yuan turned back to look at the statue of the second master. The red phoenix eyes looking at the sky seemed to move, and he was looking down at Chen Yuan who was looking up at him.
"Second Master, there are so many outstanding people, where can I think of..."
The voice echoing in the hall did not answer his question.
The heroes return to their places...
...Open the next palace.
The next palace?
Chen Yuan's mind was full of doubts. Before he could ask what the next hall meant, another voice sounded in the hall, like Zhang Yide's roar.
Wow ya ya...
The lampposts in the hall dimmed, and darkness came in like a tide, filling Chen Yuan's field of vision, and was instantly enveloped.
When there was a rustling sound in his ears, Chen Yuan regained consciousness, opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up. The pain in his Dantian instantly hit his whole body, and he fell back heavily.
The bonfire swayed.
In the dim light of the fire, an old man's face slowly came over, and in an instant, another round, fat face with a mustache followed closely.
"My boss?"
"Old Chen?"
The fat hand waved in front of Chen Yuan twice before the crazy old man slapped it away, "Show your dirty hands in front of my apprentice again and I will beat you to death."
"Kill me, no one will cook for you."
The crazy old man sat on the ground and hugged Chen Yuan, tilting his head and snorted: "It's not rare."
Immediately, he took his hand to pat his apprentice's cheek.
"Apprentice, wake up quickly..."
"Master, don't make trouble... I'm already awake, but I can't move." Chen Yuan was held by the old man like this. She felt a lot of discomfort. After struggling a few times, the pain was still severe. Because her cultivation was too shallow, she cast three spells.
People become paralyzed.
"It's okay, it's okay, Master Youwei is here."
The crazy old man touched Chen Yuan's hanging hair and suddenly asked the fat Taoist to drag the prisoner over there, "My good disciple, you won't feel any pain after you suck the blood food. That girl can be used by you, hurry up and don't wait any longer."
If she dies, the effect will not be good."
Attractive?
Chen Yuan barely raised her head and saw the woman in white lying not far away. It looked like she had been hit too hard by Mr. Guan and she still hadn't woken up.
But using that method to attract people is a no-brainer. Chen Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "Master... you can... let's catch some wild animals and give them to the disciples..."
"It's late at night, and you're in trouble for me. How can I catch wild beasts for you?" The crazy old man didn't want to move. He hesitated for a moment and pointed at the green cattle chewing weeds over there.
"...You might as well suck that old cow."
When the voice fell, the old cow trembled and his ears stood up. When he heard Chen Yuan's refusal, he lowered his head and continued chewing weeds calmly.
"Trouble please."
The crazy old man was embarrassed by his disciple's look, so he stood up lazily, and rushed away into the darkness of the forest in the blink of an eye. After a while, the forest shook, and the old man came back again, dragging a struggling stag in his hand.
, and threw it directly in front of Chen Yuan.
Luzi struggled to stand up, and Chen Yuan put his hand on its head.
The fat Taoist had never seen such a scene before. He leaned towards the old cow. In the light of the campfire, a trace of blood curled around Chen Yuan's fingertips and sank into his body. The strong stag shriveled up visibly to the naked eye. For a moment, only
The skin and bones were discarded on the ground.
I don't know what he thought of, but the fat Taoist suddenly took out a small knife from the side of the cart and ran to skin and debone the stag. Chen Yuan was a little stunned when he saw it.
"What are you doing scratching it for?"
"The deerskin can be sold for money." Sun Zhengde was quick with his hands and feet. He had already peeled off half of it and pointed at the muscles and bones inside. "These are also good things. They can be used to make soup. They are very nourishing."
At this time, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the other side of the bullock cart.
"If you practice this kind of evil method, you will be counterattacked in the future."
The woman in white clothes had woken up at some point. She was leaning on the side of the car and sitting on the ground with her hands and knees in her hands. Her eyes were clear and she looked at Chen Yuan without blinking.
After a while, she moved weakly and put her hands into her sleeves. Chen Yuan looked at her coldly. The crazy old man on the side jumped over in a hurry. He probably knew that this woman had a fight with his apprentice at dusk today.
, but he didn’t kill anyone directly, he just squatted next to him and said, “Girl, what do you want to do?”
"medicine."
The woman took out the porcelain bottle from her sleeve and threw it to the ground, "It can restore some mana, so don't use evil methods again..."
"You look down on me!"
The crazy old man reached out and took the vial into his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it. He raised his hand and was about to throw it out. Chen Yuan quickly stopped him. At this time, his magic power had recovered a little, and his body was not so painful anymore. From the master
After taking the porcelain bottle and opening it, a smell of medicinal herbs and a hint of bitterness entered the mouth and nose.
'It seems to be really medicine.'
"Girl, what happened today has offended me. Your senior brother is so aggressive, I can't just follow him so obediently. I killed Li Yuanshan well, but he killed people indiscriminately, and I did it to protect myself. Besides, I did it for him,
And his son took revenge."
Naturally, Chen Yuan didn't want to have a grudge against a sect. He knew very well what his strength was, and it would be best if he could ease it. After all, there were hundreds of statues waiting for him to erect in the Renjie Hall.
"...Girl, that's what happened. I'll let you go. I hope you can go back and help me and your faction calm down."
The woman just looked at him for a while, "Where's my sword?" The fat Taoist held a pile of deer bones and threw them into the cart. He also threw the magic sword placed inside to her.
"Thank you."
The woman replied coldly, stood up with difficulty with her sword in hand, took a few steps, her body was swaying and unable to support herself, and she fell to the ground with a thud.
Chen Yuan went over and pushed. The woman closed her eyes tightly, clutched her stomach in pain, and let out a vague moan. The second master's knife was really heavy.
well.
Chen Yuan opened the vial and poured out a pill, stuffed it into her mouth, gave her some water, and then dragged the woman to the fire.
"You are lucky to meet a decent person like me."
The fat Taoist took a sip quietly.
'Not as good as an animal.'
Moo!
The old cow neighed at him, as if in agreement.
…
The night was still very long and insects were chirping. Chen Yuan leaned against her sleeping master, broke off a dead branch and threw it into the fire.
The flickering firelight was reflected in his eyes, and he was slightly in a trance.
The thoughts in the Renjie Temple now filled his mind again. There were so many empty shrines that he needed to fill, as well as the matters surrounding the next temple.
people……
Could it be that the next one is ‘earth’?
Hell!
If there are no familiar historical figures or gods in this world, then the underworld will be different.
Good guy, this is about to expand the business to the underworld. Black and white are impermanent, bull heads and horse faces... Just thinking about it makes Chen Yuan a little excited.
After all, who doesn’t want two impermanences by his side?
'But for now, let's fill in the Hall of Heroes first...I'm afraid I can't do it just by myself, pulling a bullock cart and acting.'
'By the way, the Zhao family troupe!'
'Early tomorrow morning, we will change our route and go back to Funiu Town to have a good talk with Master Zhao...'
Leaning on his master, Chen Yuan made up his mind, closed his eyes, listened to the grunting sound of the fat Taoist over there, and fell asleep tiredly.
The night was quiet, with only the occasional crackle of the campfire and sparks rising into the air.
