Chapter 164 Fengxue Mountain Temple
Jiang You crossed his legs on the snow and calmed his mind. Then he checked the samadhi fire in his mind. He found that after absorbing the evil fire in his heart, the fire was still the same without any change, so Jiang You had to give up.
After Jiang You stood up again, he saw the cold night in front of him, and the sound of frozen snow echoed from the distance deep in the earth.
Looking up, there is no moonlight, only stars in the sky, so numerous and bright, as if they are falling at an ethereal speed. The stars are getting closer and closer, the sky is getting further and further away, the night is getting darker and thicker, and the mountains have been lost. The outline turned into a mass of rich black, hanging low at the edge of the starry field, and everything sank into a cold, quiet harmony.
Jiang You carried the stele on his back and walked alone in the dark among the snowy mountains and forests until around nine o'clock in the evening. He found a dilapidated ancient temple in front of him. The ancient temple had broken walls and ruins. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. It was built by hunters in the mountains in the past to worship the mountain gods.
Jiang You walked quickly to the ancient temple, and the wooden door opened with a creak. There was a black-faced mountain statue inside, covered with red cloth. It was a normal style. It was much more recent than the one in Luoshan, and should not be more than five years old. ten years.
The mountain temple is not large, so Jiang You went in to check it out. Fortunately, the roof was still intact, which was enough to protect it from wind and rain.
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the ground trembled slightly, shaking the ash from the roof. Jiang You put the Dongwang stone tablet down, and felt hungry. He ducked out. After a while, he came back with a giant python in his hand. This giant python was as big as It was about the same size as the one he killed before. The head of the snake had been beheaded by Jiang You. He threw the giant python into the temple, chopped a tree outside, chopped it into firewood, dug out a stone the size of a basin, hollowed out the middle, and made After making a stone cauldron, the Shengxie Sword rubbed against the stone, sparks splashed out, and the bonfire was angry. He put the stone cauldron filled with snow on the bonfire, and Jiang You sat on the ground, skinned and gutted the giant python, and threw it into the stone cauldron to cook.
On the way to hunt, Jiang You also discovered some Polygonatum and Astragalus in the mountains. Jiang You often dug these medicinal materials in the village when he was a child. These medicinal materials grow in the deep mountains and are nourished by spiritual energy. They are very large.
Huang Jing, Huang Qi. It can nourish qi and yin, strengthen the spleen, moisten the lungs, and nourish the kidneys. It is a great tonic and can be used as a dietary therapy. But Jiang You didn't think so much about it and just used it as a seasoning. Jiang You cut Polygonatum and Astragalus into pieces and threw them into the cauldron. .
The mountain wind began to howl at night, blowing the temple door open and sparks flying from the bonfire. Jiang You blocked the temple door with stones.
Everything was done, and Jiang You had nothing to do. His strength had grown too fast, and he needed to stabilize his state of mind during this period, so he didn't practice. He sat in front of the Dongwang Stone Tablet and admired the handwriting on the stone tablet under the orange-red firelight.
The word "Dong Wang" is written in an ancient and clumsy way, unlike the writing of later generations. The regular script is as beautiful and elegant as that, but its strokes are like an angry leopard's thirsty beast, with firm muscles and bones, penetrating into the stone in three parts. The vicissitudes of life are planted, and the vigorous charm circulates.
Jiang You copied the handwriting on the ground with his fingers, but he couldn't get it right. No matter how he wrote, he couldn't express his magnanimity.
After a while, the water in the stone cauldron began to boil, and the aroma of meat came from it. Jiang You used his sword to pick the stone cauldron in front of him. The python meat inside was already soft and rotten. The soup was milky white with oily splatters. The refreshing blend of incense and herbs is a mouth-watering treat.
Jiang You was not afraid of burning it, so he directly grabbed the python meat and ate it in big mouthfuls. It was extremely delicious in the mouth. Jiang You devoured the meat in a short while, then he picked up the stone cauldron, poured it into his mouth, and chewed up all the astragalus and Huangjing. Swallow.
After eating, Jiang You felt warm all over, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead, which felt very pleasant.
For the next time, Jiang You listened to the beeping of the bonfire and copied the stone tablet. Until late at night, when the fire dimmed, Jiang You added a few more firewood to the flames, cleared the dust from the altar table in front of the statue, and lay down on it. sleep.
Since Jiang You practiced the Yiqi Immortality Kung Fu, he has always used practice instead of sleeping, but at this time he has no intention of practicing and just wants to have a good sleep.
After a while, Jiang You's breathing gradually became smoother and longer. The night wind in the mountains howled uncontrollably, and unknown beasts howled from the distance. The cold wind blew in through the cracks in the door with snowflakes, blowing the bonfire around. Shaking, the shadows in the temple are reflected, half-light and half-dark.
Just when Jiang You was sleeping soundly, I don't know how long it had passed before he heard a bang. The temple door was blown open by the strong wind, and a large amount of snowflakes blew in. Jiang You opened his eyes and jumped up from his confession, It was pitch black in the temple, and the world outside the door was gray and blue. In the wind and snow, there was a black figure standing, walking towards him.
The figure got closer and closer, and as he gradually walked into the temple, he saw that the person was wearing a red cloth on his shoulders and a black official hat on his head. He had a dark face and looked exactly like the mountain god statue.
Jiang You looked behind him again, and sure enough, the statue of the god had disappeared. The mountain god walked into the temple and shouted loudly, "Bold hunter, after entering your own temple, not only did you not use snake soup to sacrifice to the god, but you also dared to sleep in the god's bed." It’s so brave to be on the altar table!”
Jiang You looked at the novelty. This was the first time he encountered a strange person talking. Could it be because of Lan Wu?
"How are you doing?"
"Since you have slept on my god's altar, let me sacrifice you to my god!"
"What a country evil god who eats people if he disagrees with you. How dare he claim to be a god?"
The mountain god stretched out his big hand and grabbed it towards Jiang You. Jiang You raised his hand to draw the Shengxie Sword. When he touched it, he found it empty. The Shengxie Sword was clearly lying next to him, so why was it missing? Before Jiang You had time to think, those mountain gods were already in front of Jiang You, and Jiang You had no choice but to punch them out.
The fists and palms collided, and the mountain god screamed and was knocked away by Jiang You.
"How is it possible? How can a mere mortal have such divine power?"
The mountain god never expected that Jiang You's strength was even greater than his own. Why did Jiang You talk nonsense to him? He rushed forward with a single step, and hit the mountain god with his fists like a gust of wind and rain. The mountain god cried out, "Ku Lian Lian," Without the slightest ability to parry, a burst of earthy yellow light appeared from his body, and his body suddenly disappeared.
Jiang You punched the air, and heard a strong wind coming from behind his head. He turned around and punched, knocking the mountain god away again, and the mountain god disappeared in the air.
Jiang You glanced left and right and found energy fluctuations in front of him. He predicted it in advance and punched. Sure enough, the mountain god appeared in the next second and was punched to the ground by Jiang You.
"Mountain God? That's it?"
Seeing that the mountain god's body was shining again, he was about to repeat his old trick. Jiang You's eyebrows flashed a red light, pinned the mountain god to the ground, raised his foot, and crushed the mountain god's head.
Then, Jiang You felt a fire light up in the temple.
"Huh!" Jiang You sat up suddenly, watching the bonfire swaying in front of him, and placed the Victory Evil Sword firmly in his hand.
"Is this a dream?"
Jiang You was confused for a moment, but he quickly flew up, slashed out with a sword in his hand, and the head of the mountain god statue fell off, and then cut the statue into two halves with another sword strike.
There is nothing unusual about this statue, it is just an ordinary clay sculpture.
Jiang You couldn't figure it out either. There was nothing wrong with this. Was he really just dreaming?
Forget it, just kill it, it’s good to have peace of mind!
