Chapter 1010: Night visit to Daqin Temple (22)
The cold wind blows.
The old man's weak call was even fainter at the street where the wind was blowing, but Su Wu and his group were already very human, so they still heard his call. Su Wu stopped, bowed to the old man by the stove, and said, "There's no good place to go, so just wander around here and find a place to stay.
Old man, I see that the shops and inns on this street are all closed and locked, and there are very few people living here - what is the reason for this? "
On a street with few people inhabited, there were a few old men guarding an iron stove in a tea shed on the corner. To Su Wu, this scene was actually quite strange. He didn't know the origins of these people, so he was quite cautious in his words. , did not reveal the news that his group was going to Daqin Temple.
The sound of his speaking attracted the attention of several other old people.
The wrinkles on the faces of the old men were even more profound under the illumination of the red fire.
Their eyes were blurred, their energy was gone, and they looked like they were in their twilight years.
“Everyone has fled, and only a few of us old guys who don’t want to leave are left, guarding our home base.
——Since the foreigners built the temple here, our place has not been peaceful.
If you want to wander around, go to the south of the city. You can always find one or two inns with lights on, where you can stay. But don't go any further and get close to the foreign temple. If you don't protect it properly, something unexpected will happen.
In the past two years, in the beginning, there were often drunken men, prostitutes hiding from disasters, and wandering beggars running to Daqin Temple at night. Of the ten people here, two would come back, and the rest He completely disappeared without a trace! "The old man who called Su Wu earlier waved his hands and gave Su Wu some instructions. Then he retreated to the recliner and closed his eyes slightly. "Okay, I'll finish my words here. It's up to you whether you listen or not. matter.
Just go ahead..."
Su Wu didn't say anything. Li Heihu, who was following Su Wu, first asked the old man: "So many people are missing, and the government doesn't care?"
The old man closed his eyes slightly and returned to his weak look: "You just need to remember that the area around Daqin Temple is not peaceful, and you may lose your life if you go there. Don't ask so much about other things...
Let's go, let's go, I'm tired, I have to rest..."
As he spoke, the old man fell into a deep sleep, snoring heavily from his nose.
Several elderly people slept on their backs, not afraid of passers-by stealing their money. Of course, maybe they didn't even have a penny on them, so they were not afraid of attracting thieves at all.
Li Heihu's eyes were blank, and he turned back to look at his father, and then at Su Wu on the other side.
Su Wu said to him: "Let's go."
Without further explanation, he led a group of people away from the tea shed.
The few old men in the tea shed lay on the cool bamboo chairs and fell asleep soundly in the tea shed, which had no shelter at all and was located at a crossroads.
The group of people were a little far away from the tea shed, and Su Wu stopped.
Next to them, Li Xiongbiao and Li Heihu exchanged a few words and imparted their experience in the world: "Those old people should not be ordinary people. They may have been residents of this street before, or they may have gathered in the tea shed recently or even tonight. ——You don’t need to be curious about their identities.
When traveling around the world, remember not to have too much curiosity and don't inquire about other people's affairs.
Since they are willing to remind us, it means that they and we are not enemies after all - not enemies. Maybe we will have the opportunity to develop and become friends in the future.
Remember these, you will always need them when you travel far away. "
"I've remembered it all, dad." Li Heihu agreed with a low eyebrow.
Su Wu said thoughtfully at this time: "Those old people are lacking in energy and energy...as if their souls are injured. They gathered on this street, maybe they came for the 'Da Qin Temple'.
As for whether their purpose is consistent with ours, we can only wait until the day after tomorrow to find out. "
"Zhuzi, how do you know that some of them are weak in energy and spirit, and their souls are damaged?" Compared with the Jianghu experience taught by his father, Li Heihu still wanted to learn Su Wu's methods.
"When your willpower grows and you accumulate knowledge, you will be able to see the state of other people's souls." Su Wu replied to Li Heihu, and then said to the two brothers Li Xiongbiao, "Since the old man gave this reminder, it means that Da Qin The area outside the temple is no longer a good place.
Two old uncles, if you encounter any abnormal situation, don't hesitate. It is the right way to invite the Nuo God on the spot. If you hesitate for a moment, big problems will arise!
Huzi, remember this too. "
"Inviting the Nuo God will cause a lot of commotion after all. Will this alert others?" Li Xiongzhen hesitated.
"I'm not afraid of disturbing the situation." Su Wu shook his head.
Since he said this, the three of them naturally nodded in agreement.
Passing through this rarely populated street, the outer walls of Daqin Temple, which were illuminated even whiter by the lights, caught the eyes of Su Wu and his party. Within the white walls, buildings with pointed towers that are combined with Chinese-style tile-roofed houses are looming. The towering towers are like sharp swords, piercing the sky.
No foreign Taoist priests were seen closely patrolling outside Daqin Temple, but the whole temple was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. When walking around the building with white walls and red tiles, a kind of white light will appear everywhere. I felt like one eye was staring at me.
Su Wu stood still at the intersection of the street near Daqin Temple.
The lights from the tops of the towers shone on him and the three people behind him, but they did not show any shadows of the three people, as if they did not exist in reality at all.
He pinched his hands to make seals, and suddenly a series of illusory arms grew behind him.
A series of translucent arms surrounded his figure, making him look like a thousand-armed Buddha!
Strands of snow-white hair fell from Su Wu's ears, entwined on the illusory arms, and the illusory arms turned into human figures, standing around Su Wu.
Su Wu took out a peach wood sword, wiped his palm on the sword, and chanted a spell: "Zhu Xiao Zhenjun ordered, granting the sword to summon the Thunder God. Press the Nine Heavens Qi, and the seven stars will shine brightly. Zhuo Jian moved the world, and lightning and fire were born!
Hurry up and obey the command!"
As Zhuo Jian cursed, the seven stars of the Big Dipper suddenly appeared on the vermilion peach wood sword.
He handed the peach wood sword to a figure with a blurred face, and let the figure float in the void with the sword, disappearing. Then he took out another peach wood sword and cast the "Zuo Fu Xun Tian Feng Lai Divine Mantra" on it, and then handed the peach wood sword to the next figure.
"You Fu Wan Fang Tui Yun Divine Mantra", "Dou Bu Lei Cha Fei Gang Zhan Sui Divine Mantra", and "Zhao Yu Shi Tian Bing Mantra" were cast on the peach wood swords one by one by Su Wu, and handed them to the hands of the figures.
He then took out several "Sealing Evil Temple Gate Mantra" and also pasted them on the peach wood swords, and handed these eight peach wood swords to the remaining eight figures, so that these eight figures held the swords and cast the "Eight Gates of Bewilderment".
The two brothers Li Xiongbiao and Li Heihu were stunned for a moment when they saw Su Wu's actions.
They looked at Su Wu's scene, and didn't know whether they came here to interrupt the rituals of the Daqin Temple in the future? Or is he here to destroy the entire Daqin Temple?
I always feel that Zhuzi's use of various means at the moment does not seem to be just to interrupt the rituals of the Daqin Temple in the future!
Su Wu felt that his current actions were only "normal".
If he responded with all his strength, he could directly release the talismans in the many acupoints connected to his own "Wanjie Jindan Method", attract the power of Hou Tu's bloodline, increase the "Xiantian Yu Shi" and "Bamen Mi Shen Dun Fa", and in this way, ensure that the Daqin Temple is imprisoned like an iron barrel, with no way out.
The reason why he did not do so was because the use of the Wanjie Jindan Method consumed too much.
At present, the situation in the Daqin Temple is unclear, and it is unwise to consume his own power first.
After making all these arrangements, Su Wu turned to the three people and said, "Let's go.
I have erased all the causal traces of our presence here. The foreign Taoist priests in the Daqin Temple here can't easily detect our existence. Two uncles, Heihu, you follow me and walk in the fog. Don't step out of the fog easily."
The green mist drifted in front of Su Wu, forming a "passage" winding into the interior of the Daqin Temple.
The mist was clearly invisible under the light here, but Li Heihu and others could easily "see" the existence of the mist.
This "fog" at the moment actually came from the ghost dream.
It was a "colorless gully" controlled by "Baiju".
Su Wu contained Baiju in his body, and also obtained Baiju's various abilities in the ghost dream world.
The three of them nodded and followed Su Wu through the fog, and easily entered the Daqin Temple. It was not until they walked into the Daqin Temple under the night that they realized that there was a world of difference between the inside and outside of the Daqin Temple wall!
They had just observed the Daqin Temple from the outside, and felt that the Daqin Temple exuded a solemn, peaceful and harmonious aura everywhere. However, as soon as they stepped into the Daqin Temple, the solemn and peaceful aura disappeared completely.
The moon in the sky was covered by the gray fog that came from nowhere, and the lights lit in various parts of the temple only made the interior of the temple more dark and gloomy.
In the tower that pierced the sky, there were figures in black robes hanging.
They hung upside down in the tower, like black bats.
At the corner of the corridor, there was always a white shadow flashing by.
A sharp cry suddenly sounded when the white shadow flashed by.
Boom!
Pale lightning flashed occasionally in the sky, reflecting the mud under everyone's feet - where is the mud road? It is clearly a swamp of flesh mud formed by the rotting corpses!
"Why is there such a big difference between the inside and the outside?" Li Xiongbiao's eyes were horrified and he couldn't help but say it out loud.
Su Wu looked around and said nothing.
The current Daqin Temple seemed to be somewhere in Wanshan City, but in fact it seemed to be connected to an unknown world. It was attached to the edge of the unknown world, just casting its "shadow" into reality!
