Inside the Chenghuang Temple, there are many buildings, row upon row, and incense fills the air.
Men, women, old and young in those worldly places all burn incense and worship there, praying for peace.
Su Yi and his party all restrained their auras and blended into the crowd, but did not attract much attention.
Soon, we arrived at the main gate of the temple.
I saw a nine-foot-tall statue standing among them.
The statue is in the shape of a woman, with a graceful figure and a winding snake body below the waist. Her hands are intertwined in front of her body, holding a lantern shaped like a lotus.
Two temple priests in gray robes and Taoist uniforms were adding lamp oil in front of the statue.
All the good men and women lined up to enter, burn incense, kneel on the ground, and pray. They all looked pious and solemn and murmured words in their mouths.
"As expected."
When Su Yi saw this statue for the first time, he verified an inference in his heart.
When he was in Gunzhou City, he had seen an identical statue, and he concluded at that time that the image of the woman represented by the statue was a descendant of the Ghost Snake clan.
The Ghost Snake Clan is one of the nine royal families of the Netherworld. In the eyes of the evil ghosts, the Ghost Snake Clan is also known as the "Lamp Holder" and has an extremely high status.
On the road before, Ling Yunhe once mentioned that when the first master of the Yin Sha Ming Palace, Ming Luo Linghuang, was accompanied by a "Ghost Snake Hades", who was also known as the "Lamp Waiter", Su Yi had already
Doubtful.
Now, when I see this statue in the City God's Temple, I no longer have any doubts in my heart.
"It seems that the Netherworld Spirit Emperor is indeed from the Netherworld, and is accompanied by a strong man from the Ghost Snake Clan."
Su Yi secretly said.
"Would you like to offer incense and worship?"
A temple priest came forward and asked Su Yi and others.
Su Yi shook his head and said to Yuan Heng and others: "Let's go."
In his previous life, the emperor-level ancestor of the ghost snake clan was not even qualified to sit in front of him, so he could only stand at a distance!
"Fellow Taoists, please stay."
However, just as Su Yi and his party were about to leave, an old man with white hair and a black robe came up to them.
The old man's figure was thin, his eye sockets were slightly sunken, and his eyes were hazel. He smiled and cupped his fists at Su Yi:
"I am an old man in Shanglin. By the order of my young master, I would like to invite all fellow Taoists to go to the side hall to have a talk."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely ask, "Why did you invite me when your young master has a distinguished name?"
But Su Yi only glanced at the old man and said, "Is your young master the Holy Son of Nirvana?"
The old man in black robes, Yu Shanglin, said in surprise: "Do you recognize my young master, fellow Taoist?"
Su Yi said lightly: "I don't know him, and I don't want to know him."
After that, he turned around and left.
Yuan Heng and others followed closely behind.
Yu Shanglin was stunned for a moment, frowned, and then hurriedly turned around and entered a side hall of the Chenghuang Temple.
In the palace, a young man wearing a red robe with an imposing figure was drinking.
The young man was about twenty years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a jade tree facing the wind, and a black bone hairpin in his bun. He raised his hands and feet with a look of disdain as if he were overlooking the world.
In addition to the red-robed young man, there are also a group of figures standing in the palace. Just by looking at their clothes, you can tell that they are all important figures who have been in high positions for a long time.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, they all have the aura of practitioners lingering around them.
However, when these big shots faced the red-robed young man, their expressions were more or less filled with awe and fear.
After drinking a glass of wine, the red-robed young man glanced at the big shots and said:
"There are only four months left. The 'Lantai Dharma Conference' organized by the Emperor of Great Xia will begin. Time is getting increasingly urgent. I hope that within three months, you can collect enough 'Jueyin'
Spiritual stone', if not..."
Speaking of this, he sighed softly, "Otherwise, I can only use the Taoism in you to refine the 'Qi of Absolute Yin'."
His voice was gentle and slow, but when the words fell into the ears of those big shots, they all froze and their expressions changed.
One of the beautiful women in palace clothes said bitterly: "Reporting to the Holy Son, yesterday, I received news that a Jueyin spiritual vein was discovered in the Cuihan Valley deep in Yunmang Mountain, so I met Qiu, the Supreme Elder of Feiling Sword Pavilion.
Mo Chi rushed there as soon as possible... Who would have thought that the operation failed in the end..."
If Su Yi and the others were here, they would definitely recognize that this beautiful woman in palace attire is Leng Yue, the elder of Feiling Sword Pavilion.
Yesterday, this woman, together with Yan Junshan and other Yuanfu realm monks, bowed their heads and admitted defeat. They took out the treasures on their bodies and then saved their lives.
But now, Lian Lengyue appeared in the City God's Temple and called the red-robed young man the Holy Son!
"Jueyin Spiritual Vein?"
The red-robed young man's eyes shone brightly and he said, "Please tell me in detail what you did yesterday."
At that moment, Lian Lengyue told the story of the fight that took place deep in the Cuihan Valley, without hiding anything.
When it was learned that a young man in the Bigu Realm could easily kill Qi Chongzi, Qiu Mochi, Lai Changxiao and other powerful people in the Star Gathering Realm who were famous all over Nanzhou, there was a burst of noisy exclamations in the venue.
"How can this young man named Su Yi be so powerful?"
"What is his origin and why have I never heard of him before?"
"The four star-gathering realm experts from the four cultivation forces in Tiannan Prefecture joined forces to kill three and escape. This... this is too scary..."
The faces of those big shots were full of surprise and disbelief.
Even the young man in red robe couldn't help but look moved, showing a look of surprise.
After a while, he regained his composure and said: "If you put it this way, this Su Yi is definitely a monster! He may even be like me, a character who survived the 30,000-year dark ancient ban.
.”
hiss!
There was a gasp of air in the field.
They all knew that the red-robed young man in front of them had just woken up from a seal of nearly 30,000 years last year. His origins were extremely terrifying, and his background was even more powerful.
If the young man named Su Yi is the same character as the red-robed young man, then his origin is destined to be extraordinary.
"I have to say, you are really lucky to be able to save a life from those people."
The red-robed young man glanced at Lian Lengyue.
Lian Lengyue lowered her head and said, "After the young master said this, I realized how lucky I am to survive this time."
"The body-snatchers, the lucky ones with great luck, the geniuses who have acquired the ancient inheritance... Now, with the addition of monsters and freaks like me who survived from ancient times, this world is becoming more and more interesting..."
The young man in red robe sighed, as if he was looking forward to it.
"Young Master, Su Yi has taken away a Jueyin spiritual vein. Do you think... can we take this thing away from him?"
A man in gray robe asked softly.
The red-robed young man laughed sarcastically and said: "You, an ordinary person with a Yuanfu realm cultivation level, dare to think about this matter, and you are not afraid of being killed by Su Yi.
Are you extinct? You are simply too impatient to live."
The man in gray robe suddenly broke out in cold sweat.
"I don't blame you. After all, I'm just a monk who grew up in this secular world. My vision is limited and I don't understand the horror of those monsters at all."
The young man in red robe thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would have to find out the details of this person first before I could judge how much it would cost to win over him. After all, it seems that such a monster is completely
It cannot be measured by common sense.”
Everyone's hearts were churning again, and then they realized further how dangerous the so-called "monsters" were.
Otherwise, given the temperament of the young man in red robe, he probably would not have said such cautious and conservative words.
At this time, an old man with white hair and black robes hurriedly walked into the side hall. It was Yu Shanglin who had talked to Su Yi and others before.
"Young Master, those monks rejected your invitation and turned around and left."
Yu Shanglin whispered.
"How courageous are they? They dare to betray even the face of the Holy Son?"
Some people frowned and spoke in a bad tone.
Yu Shanglin said: "This matter is indeed strange. The young man in charge seems to have already guessed the identity of the Holy Son, but he said that he does not want to know the Holy Son."
The red-robed young man was startled, then laughed and said, "Are they worried that I, the new Holy Son of the Yinsha Sect, will be disadvantageous to them?"
Yu Shanglin asked in a low voice: "Young Master, I have seen those people before. Because they have restrained their auras, they did not find anything special. I wonder what did you sense, Young Master, to invite them?"
Everyone also looked over.
Just now, the young man in red robe was drinking, but suddenly he frowned, took out the black bone hairpin from his bun and took a look at it.
Then, he ordered Yu Shanglin to go to the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple and invite the monks to come and see him.
But no one knows why the red-robed young man did this.
"Previously, my 'Netherworld Jade Hosta' had a strange movement and sensed an extremely pure spirit body. After a brief induction, I realized that this pure spirit body was hidden in the head of the young man.
Nourish the soul inside the gourd.”
The red-robed young man did not hide anything and said directly, "You also know that my ghostly jade hairpin is an ancient and rare treasure. Any spirit that can sense it must have an unusual origin. Therefore, I have
I am curious and want to meet them. If possible, I would like to make a deal with them and buy the spirit body in the soul-nurturing gourd."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
A tall man with a beard took the initiative and asked for orders: "Young Master, this matter is easy to handle. Since those monks are in Shanyin City, we can easily find them with our methods. When the time comes, I will help the Young Master buy that place."
The spirit body in the soul-nurturing gourd is."
"We are also willing to go."
Seeing this, other people also expressed their opinions.
The young man in red robe pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, Elder Yu Shanglin, take some people with you to meet those monks."
Yu Shanglin solemnly accepted the order: "Yes!"
The young man in red robe casually picked up the jug and poured wine while saying slowly: "Remember, it's best not to do anything. I don't want to be thought by the monks in the world that I, Nifeng, am a person who takes things by force."
Yu Shanglin smiled slightly and said, "Young Master, just don't worry."
The red-robed young man waved his hand, "Go ahead. I must leave Shanyin City in three hours. Before that, I hope you can get this thing done."
