Chapter 557 Guessing the identities of the six gods
Black smoke flashed and the figure of the man in black disappeared again. At the same time, clusters of bright lights appeared around the church and began to drift towards Qin Yu and other heat.
"Guests from afar, this is specially prepared for you, Jie Jie!" The voice of the man in black robes sounded for the last time, and after that, the whole church fell into silence again.
"Yinling ghost fire, everyone, please be careful not to get burned."
Brother Zhang Desheng warned as he shook the white flag in his hand. As the white flag swayed, the will-o'-the-wisp did not dare to approach and floated toward the others.
"Everyone can stand beside us, these will-o'-the-wisps don't dare to come near!" Zhang Deyang shouted towards Qin Yu and the others.
"No need." The two young Taoist priests rejected Zhang Deyang's kindness and looked at each other. One of them drew a magic spell and hit it on the peach wood sword. The peach wood sword instantly emitted light, carrying a yang energy.
The will-o'-the-wisp that just approached immediately left again.
On the other side, Master Yuanquan was reciting scriptures and tapping the wooden fish in his hand. As a Feng Shui master, he was the most sensitive to the aura. He could clearly feel that Master Yuanquan's wooden fish was emitting a burst of energy.
There was a sound wave, but those will-o'-the-wisps didn't dare to get close at all. Every time they were swept by the sound wave, they would dim a little. In the end, all the will-o'-the-wisps rushed towards Qin Yu.
Master Yuanquan saw the will-o'-the-wisp move towards Qin Yu, but Qin Yu still stood still, his old face wrinkled slightly with a hint of worry. The Zhang brothers looked at Qin Yu with doubtful eyes. As for the two
There was a hint of schadenfreude in the eyes of the young Taoist priest.
They wanted to see how Qin Yu could deal with these will-o'-the-wisps without magic weapons. The will-o'-the-wisps were full of yin, and once they were stained, they would be like the tarsal bones of death, and it would be difficult to get rid of them.
Qin Yu watched these will-o'-the-wisps approach, with the expression on his face unchanged. When the will-o'-the-wisps were only one meter away from him, Qin Yu's hands suddenly condensed, and a complicated handprint appeared in his hands, and the whole person's aura
It also increased dramatically in an instant.
After the gesture was completed, the will-o'-the-wisp came in front of Qin Yu, and Qin Yu could even see his face reflected in the will-o'-the-wisp.
"roll!"
Qin Yu shouted softly, and whirlwinds suddenly appeared out of thin air, rolled directly on the will-o'-the-wisps, and then dispersed high in the sky with the will-o'-the-wisps. In just an instant, all the will-o'-the-wisps disappeared in the entire church.
"Master Qin has great skills. No wonder Master Qin said before that he didn't need to use magic weapons. He didn't expect Master Qin to know mountain magic!"
Master Yuanquan saw Qin Yu's hand and showed admiration on his face. Among the five Taoist arts: mountain, medicine, fortune, fortune telling, divination, and mountain technique, what Qin Yu just performed was obviously a kind of magic.
The two young Taoist priests also looked at Qin Yu with some envy. Shan Shu has always been the most mysterious technique in Taoism. Almost all Taoist attack techniques come from Shan Shu. However, after experiencing several disasters, the metaphysical world
Most of the mountain arts have been lost, and only a few families can still pass down a few mountain arts, but they are not something ordinary disciples can learn.
The Zhang Desheng brothers looked at Qin Yu with more polite eyes, and even nodded to Qin Yu, which made Qin Yu sigh that no matter where they are, their own strength will always be their greatest reliance.
"Let's walk over. I saw that the six statues were a bit strange." Qin Yu pointed to the high platform in front of him. Master Yuanquan and others naturally had no objection. The group moved towards the high platform again. Of course, they had to be on guard against that.
The sneak attack of the man in black robe.
However, until they reached the foot of the high platform safely, the man in black robe never appeared again. Qin Yu and others looked at the six statues on the high platform.
"Hey, this statue?"
Master Yuanquan was the first to speak in surprise. Qin Yu's expression suddenly changed. Only the Zhang brothers and the two young Taoist priests showed doubts on their faces.
"Master Yuanquan, what do you know about the origin of this statue?" Zhang Desheng asked.
"This...if I'm not mistaken, it should be a statue of a hungry ghost." Master Yuanquan chanted the Buddha's name three times in a row. As soon as he said these words, the faces of the Zhang brothers suddenly became ugly.
"Hungry ghost, how could there be a statue of a hungry ghost here? Is this a pretense?" Zhang Desheng said with disbelief in his tone. Anyone who has known hungry ghosts will know how terrifying they are.
Hungry ghost, from the name, refers to a hungry ghost. Strictly speaking, hungry ghost is not a kind of ghost, but a kind of creature. Buddhism and Taoism have different understandings of hungry ghosts.
The place where hungry ghosts live is recognized as the underworld, but it has its own space. That place is called the realm of hungry ghosts. Those ghosts that eat people in folklore are not actually the ghosts that become ordinary people after they die.
Ghosts, this kind of ghosts can harm people, but they cannot eat people. The ghosts that can eat people refer to hungry ghosts.
These six statues have green faces and fangs, and are skinny, but with a high protruding belly. The most terrifying thing is a small face glowing with green light, which is the green light of hunger, just like a few figures in the snow in winter.
The look in the eyes of a wolf who has not found food all day and suddenly sees his prey.
The sculptures of these six statues are also very vivid, which can make people feel the resentment of the hungry ghost. Looking into the eyes of the hungry ghost is like looking into an abyss, which makes people shudder.
"I heard from the masters that hungry ghosts disappeared from the world more than two hundred years ago. I guess the statues of hungry ghosts here are more likely to be mystical." The young Taoist priest behind him said his own.
view.
"I'm not trying to be mysterious." Qin Yu shook his head and said.
"I'm not trying to be mysterious, could it be that these six statues are really hungry ghosts?" The young Taoist snorted lightly, questioning Qin Yu's words.
"Of course these six statues are not hungry ghosts, but the six gods of this polytheistic religion are very likely to be hungry ghosts." Qin Yu looked solemn and continued: "Don't forget what this polytheistic religion wants to do, they want to seal the world.
Wang Qing is the seventh god, but what is Wang Qing’s identity?”
Qin Yu's words caused Master Yuanquan and others to fall into silence. They naturally knew what Wang Qing was. It was a ghost. Polytheistic religions canonize a ghost as a god. When they saw the six hungry ghost statues in front of them, an idea began to form in Wu.
comes to mind.
"Does this polytheistic religion want to turn Wang Qing into a hungry ghost?"
This thought appeared in everyone's mind. Several people looked at each other and saw trouble in each other's eyes.
"It's not that simple. Hungry ghosts are not actually ghosts, just because they look a bit like ghosts. Ghosts are incorporeal bodies, but hungry ghosts have physical existence. To become a hungry ghost, you must go through the hungry ghost path, but
The Hungry Ghost Realm is a more mysterious place than the underworld, how can it be so easy to get in and out of?"
Master Yuanquan shook his head. He knew a lot of information about hungry ghosts. Therefore, although Qin Yu's speculation was consistent with what he had seen and the clues he had, it was only consistent.
"Whatever, I think we just smashed these six statues. Aren't they their gods? I don't believe they will remain indifferent."
The young Taoist priest obviously didn't want to go on like this. He jumped onto the high platform and walked directly towards the statue. The two of them had just left the apprenticeship not long ago. This was their first time to practice. They were arrogant and felt that Qin
Yu and others are making a fuss out of a molehill. Aren't they just a few statues? How about studying them here?
Being despised by two juniors, Master Yuanquan did not show any unhappy expression. Qin Yu looked at the two Taoist priests climbing onto the high platform and asked Master Yuanquan softly: "What are the backgrounds of these two people?"
?”
"Those who come from Longhu Mountain are disciples of the great sect, and layman Qin should not be on the same level as them."
"Longhu Mountain has become more and more popular in recent years, and its status has greatly increased. This rise has lifted all boats, and even the younger disciples are so arrogant." Zhang Desheng said sarcastically at the side.
For these two young Taoist priests who came from Longhu Mountain, the two brothers did not have a good impression. When they became a group, the other party showed a vague look of superiority, and did not pay attention to the small inheritance of the two brothers.
In his eyes, during the conversation, Li Desheng heard so many words about the Patriarch of Longhu Mountain on the left and the Patriarch of the Sanqing on the right that he got bored and cursed secretly in his mind:
"It sounds like the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty is your unique Patriarch of Longhu Mountain. You Longhushan is awesome, but even in Taoism, it is not your turn to be number one in the world of metaphysics."
This small team of five people is also divided into several pairs. The Zhang brothers are in one group, the two young Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain are in one group, and Master Yuanquan is in the middle, mainly to resolve the conflicts between the four.
, now with the addition of Qin Yu, the split mentality of this small team becomes even more obvious.
"Come on, let's go up too."
A smile appeared on Qin Yu's face. Longhu Mountain is indeed powerful. At least in Taoism, it is a bull's nose, but this has nothing to do with him. He is not a Taoist priest. It would be fine if these two young Taoist priests did not challenge his bottom line.
Otherwise, he doesn't care about Longhu Mountain or not.
"Senior brother, should we smash it directly?"
"Well, aren't they just six statues of hungry ghosts? Are you so timid? Junior brother, let's destroy three of them each. We from Longhu Mountain can't embarrass our sect."
After the two young Taoist priests on the high platform had a conversation, the one who was called the senior brother directly grabbed a pair of ears of the hungry ghost statue with his hands and pulled them out from the wall. Of course, he also left one
Mind-eye, hold one end of the mahogany sword hilt in your mouth to guard against sudden dangers at any time.
"Click!"
He broke off the carvings on the stone wall easily. Just as the young Taoist priest showed joy on his face, a shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Quickly retreat!"
The voice was full of anxiety and a hint of panic. When the young Taoist priest heard the call, he paused. His reaction was not slow. He knew that something must have changed. He threw the statue forward and the person was about to go.
Retreat, but it's still a step too late... (To be continued)
