The hillside is covered with bamboo groves, which are verdant, and pilgrims shuttle back and forth in the temple. The incense burns so hot that the copper cauldron is hot. The prayers of the believers are entrusted to the believers. The rising smoke passes through the invisible barrier and is thrown into the blessed place of the gods. At this time, a young girl knelt down on the cushion in front of the temple to pray, with her eyes closed tightly and her brow furrowed with a trace of indelible sadness. She wished her father a speedy illness and good health. After a long time, she got up and presented a piece of broken silver to the Taoist.
Even though it was only five taels, it was already a rare and generous gift. Taoist Xianghuo was a little shocked and quickly asked her to leave her name on the merit book. The girl declined and met the maid, got up and went down the steps, boarded the bullock cart and returned home.
But before we had gone very far, the oxen pulling the cart started to buck up anxiously.
"Hiss——"
"Ouch, what's going on?" The bullock cart swayed from side to side, and there was a sudden scream. The driver hurriedly pulled the reins, looking at the restless cow, and he also muttered in his heart.
This cow has always been docile, why did it suddenly change?
"Miss, the cow was a little frightened just now, but it's fine now." Fortunately, this situation only lasted for a while, and the cow slowly regained its composure, and the coachman breathed a sigh of relief and said to the female family members in the car.<
/p>
"Everything is not going well today. I agreed to ask Taoist Shen to divine good or bad luck, but Taoist Shen was late when he arrived. It seems a little too arrogant!" A maid said immediately.
"What I'm saying is that you must not be an expert to be so rude. Go back to another temple to worship gods and pray for blessings. Miss, I know that there is a Buddhist temple that is also effective..."
"Don't talk nonsense, this is Tongshan, don't be rude." The young lady scolded lightly: "If Taoist Shen didn't come, there must be something wrong."
Even though she said this, she was still suspicious. Just at this moment, a gust of wind came, dark clouds gathered, and the sun turned from bright to cloudy in the blink of an eye.
This was really ominous. The young lady thought that she was originally praying for her father. Seeing the changes in the sky, her right eyelid twitched. She couldn't help but urge: "Don't be so wordy, go back quickly!"
"Yes, Miss!" The voice gradually faded away along with the bullock cart. Suddenly, a white light appeared, and a figure was faintly revealed. A closer look revealed that it was Su Ziji walking quickly in the mountains, but his body quickly surpassed that of several people.
People, but no one can notice it at all.
"Panlong Lake is already in Fucheng, and it takes several days to get to Tongshan Temple by oxcart, but with the blessing of Longjun Yuanshen, it only takes a moment."
"If the spiritual light of the Taoist temple hadn't blocked it, I could have gone in directly without scaring the cow."
At this time, in Su Ziji's eyes, a white light shrouded the hillside in front of him, which seemed to be a semicircular cover. However, this cover could not stop it. Just tearing it open the gap.
"As for this evil way, is it a deliberate attempt to let people go? It's clearly been a backlash and can't come out, right?"
"There are many pilgrims in the temple. They must not be casting spells in an ordinary room. If I didn't think wrong, they must be in a secret room."
"It's just that this soul's blessing brings disaster. Wherever I go, dark clouds will follow me. I don't have much time left. I must investigate immediately!" Su Ziji only took a few glances and was able to Feeling an abnormal aura, he looked up at the sky and felt the thunder brewing in the dark clouds. He couldn't help but change his color, and his figure turned around and quickly disappeared into it.
Underground secret room
The torch was still burning, but the secret room was in a mess. Shen Cheng fell on the altar, apparently unconscious, while the eighteen figures were rushing against each other, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier. When they hit it, they bounced away. The area around the altar was stained with a shocking color of blood.
"Huh, these bastards!" There seemed to be a faint muffled thunder outside, and the sound of wheels running over the bridge hole woke up Shen Cheng. When he woke up, he smelled the smell of blood. Knowing that it was not good, he only scanned it once. Sneer out loud.
"You trash, I'm not afraid of you alive. If you die, your soul will be gray. Do you still want to rebel?" Shen Cheng slowly sat up, crossed his legs, and quickly pinched his hands to suppress the sweetness in his throat. , then looked coldly at the dozen "people" surrounding him.
The spell was backfired and he was seriously injured. The blood corpse that had just been refined instantly lost control.
These blood corpses hated him deeply when they were alive. In the short period of time when they lost control, although they had no souls to live in, their instinct of resentment drove them to tear their enemies apart.
Unfortunately, their wishes were destined to fail to come true. Shen Cheng had anticipated this possibility before he fell into coma and used the magic flag and magic circle to protect himself.
At this time, these eighteen bloody corpses had been entangled with the altar formation for a long time, but they still could not get closer and could only keep hitting the invisible barrier with their heads.
"If we let it go, I'm afraid the barriers won't last long, so we'd better control them again as soon as possible."
Shen Cheng raised his head and glanced at the small flag hovering on top. It released wisps of white light and combined with the altar to form a barrier, making it impossible for the bloody corpse to invade.
This is a magic weapon I got from Master Cao, and I can protect the master by myself. But this thing can only be used three times. It has been used twice in the past few years. After using it today, this magic weapon will be useless.
There is also a time limit. As time goes by, the barrier will gradually weaken.
But only the bloody corpses full of resentment are left, unless the flesh rots, otherwise they are tireless, hitting them again and again, wasting time with them, just waiting to die.
"Damn it, what happened just now?"
"It was obviously a blood evil targeting Su Ziji, and it also used the bones of ancestors to locate it. Why was it deflected and received a strong backlash?"
"Even if Su Ziji is really of the bloodline of the previous dynasty, it is impossible for him to have such a large residual power."
"After all, the previous dynasty is already the previous dynasty."
Shen Cheng couldn't figure it out, so naturally he would not be stupid at this time. Seeing that the defense line was in danger, he stopped thinking about the problem and tried to calm down.
At this time, he has been seriously injured. If he forcibly restrains the bloody corpse, it will inevitably make things worse. But if he doesn't do this, the result will only be worse.
He secretly resented the people who put him in this situation, and ignored the bloody corpses outside the barrier that looked like evil spirits. As he recited the incantation, he kept changing his handprints rapidly, and the small flag hung in the air again.
"Through the heart and destroy the five-color flag."
Shen Cheng sensed the approaching murderous intention and thought it was due to the blood corpse. Without hesitation, he activated all his magic power. The next moment, the five-color flag fell down and turned into the color of clouds.
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell.
And there is white light swaying, shining into the bloody corpses, forcibly suppressing their violence.
"Listen to my orders and don't disobey me!" The sweet smell surged up in his chest again, and he barely suppressed it. Shen Cheng saw the bloody corpse finally made a move, calmed down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Oh! After all, my vitality was severely damaged. I miscalculated!" What he vomited out was heart blood, the essence of the blood. Shen Cheng wiped his mouth, feeling secretly resentful in his heart.
If you want to fully recover from such an injury, it will take only a few years.
"This misses the important matter of Master Cao."
"For the sake of the people and the country, Master Cao completely wiped out the dragon spirit of the previous dynasty, and searched for the blood of the remnants of the previous dynasty one by one. He would rather be stained with blood and sin than to shrink back."
"Although I don't have this level, but now that I have become a member of the Daolu Department, I have to live with the imperial salary and share the worries of the imperial court." Not to mention that this kind of thing is not difficult. Now the remnants of the previous dynasty are already bereaved dogs, and it is easiest to beat up the drowned dogs. .
