The rain stopped.
Outer Region, Unnamed Taoist Temple.
This temple located in the wilderness was built unknown how many years ago. The outer walls and roof were covered with layers of dead branches and green vines, but miraculously it did not collapse.
The frame is still largely intact.
When Wang Chen pushed open the half-open door, the specks of light floating inside disappeared instantly.
A rustling sound reached his ears.
Wang Chen didn't care and took out a Obsidian Lamp from the storage bag.
Injecting a trace of mana, the white gleaming stone embedded in the lamp head instantly blooms with bright and soft light.
Dispelling the surrounding darkness.
With the lighting provided by Obsidian Lamp, Wang Chen took out another pile of firewood.
Build a campfire.
In a moment, the blazing flames made the hall become brighter.
A little more warmth.
He calmly continued to take out the rack, pots and spring water and began to cook dinner.
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
Before the death row prisoner is beheaded, there is a decapitation meal.
I just don't know whose great head will be severed here tonight!
When the boiling water mixed with Spirit Rice in the pot began to stir, Wang Chen put down the spoon in his hand.
Get up and come to the front of the statue.
This Daoist temple was not discovered today. I saw it before when I was exploring Outer Region.
He also explored it.
The hall is empty, and there is not much dust on the ground. It is estimated that some Outer Region Rogue Cultivator used Cleanse Art to clean it while they were resting here.
Eight huge wooden pillars support the high dome. The goddess standing on the altar has a dignified face and compassionate eyes, as if she is silently praying for all living beings in the world.
This is a Empress Houtu statue!
Three Ancient Saints, August Heaven, Earth Mother and Huanggu.
Legend has it that it was these three Saint who jointly created the eternal Daoism, allowing hundreds of millions of people to break away from the original Savage Wilderness and have powerful power to fight against the demon Evil Spirits.
Among the common people, the Three Saints are also Orthodox God that people believe in!
It's just that the situation of Cultivation World is different.
People in the Daoist sect respect the Three Saints, but do not build temples to offer sacrifices.
However, the Daoist sect will not destroy or destroy the Sansheng Daoist temple built by Rogue Cultivator, just pretend that it has not been seen.
The sect Battle Cultivator cut down mountains and destroyed temples, and all they conquered were Evil God obscene temples.
Therefore, the location of this Empress Houtu temple is not very far from the Yunyang Sect Outer Mountain Gate.
But it can always exist.
However, the incense has long since disappeared, and the statue Golden Body has completely peeled off, leaving only patches of rust.
It looks a little bleak.
The incense burner that was supposed to be placed on the altar was missing!
Wang Chen Take out three sticks of sandalwood and light them.
He stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the altar. Spiritual Light flashed across his fingertips, and the hard stone instantly became soft.
Grandmaster level's achievements have allowed Wang Chen to master Earth Stone Technique to a minute level.
He inserted the incense stick and bowed three times to Empress Houtu.
According to the common saying.
August Heaven controls destiny, Earth Mother controls life and death, and is the destination of all the dead.
Therefore, Rebirth Incantation contains the prayer "The dead souls return to the thick soil".
The thick soil is Earth Mother, modified for some reason.
The representative of August Heaven is Huangtian.
Huangtian is on top!
As for Huanggu, who is revered as the Daoist ancestor, his presence is much weaker than August Heaven and Earth Mother.
Wang Chen is often saved by the deceased, so he has an almost instinctive feeling of closeness to Empress Houtu.
I will definitely have to ask her old man for help in the future.
It is also appropriate to offer three sticks of incense.
Bless me!
After finishing the incense, Wang Chen returned to the bonfire.
He stirred the Spirit Rice Porridge in the pot with a spoon to prevent it from sticking to the bottom, then took out a strip of Demonic Beast Marrow Meat, inserted it with an iron drill and put it in the fire to roast.
A strong aroma of barbecue soon filled the hall.
Wang Chen also brushes the animal meat with his own sauce from time to time, making the aroma more intense and complex.
It makes people salivate when they smell it!
Seeing that the porridge in the pot has thickened and the meat is just cooked on the fire, Wang Chen is about to feast.
The temple door that he had previously closed opened with a creak.
A strong wind rushed in with drizzle!
But there was no one in front of the door.
Wang Chen was startled and asked loudly, "Is it uncle?"
The next moment, a figure flashed into the hall.
The temple door suddenly closed!
Lu Defang, who was wearing a sky-blue robe, put away his oil-paper umbrella and showed an elegant and gentle smile to Wang Chen, "My dear nephew, you are eating. I am not late, am I?"
Wang Chen sighed and reluctantly put down the barbecue in his hand.
He stood up and replied, "Uncle, you are not late, in fact you came very quickly..."
Before entering the temple, Wang Chen sent Crane Message to Lu Defang.
Take the initiative to inform the other party of your location.
As a result, Lu Defang appeared faster than Wang Chen expected.
He didn't even eat dinner!
From a distance of twenty or thirty steps, Wang Chen stared at this cheap uncle, his eyes as sharp as needles. "Are you so eager to send your nephew off?"
Lu Defang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
Only this time, his smile was full of malice and was no longer concealed.
This great perfection of Qi Condensation monk has completely torn off the mask of hypocrisy.
Show your true face!
Lu Defang sighed, "If brother Shao Yuan were still alive, I would be very happy to see you like you now!"
"Old Sun sent me Crane Message before, saying that you had become enlightened, but I didn't quite believe it."
"I didn't expect that I really looked away. I'm so ashamed!"
Old Sun is indeed Lu Defang's person!
Wang Chen felt clear in his heart.
In fact, he had long noticed that there was something wrong with this old neighbor, but because he had only traveled through time for a short time, he had doubts but did not take it to heart.
Wang Chen didn't fully understand until he saw the letter Old Sun left for him before running away.
This uncle has been spying on the original owner for Lu Defang!
As for the reason, Old Sun himself doesn't know.
It was entirely because of his conscience that he confided the truth to Wang Chen while running away.
Wang Chen was silent for a moment and said, "I have a lot of questions."
"Just ask."
Lu Defang's attitude was very good and he didn't show any eagerness to send Wang Chen on the road.
He said kindly, "It's a long night, and we, uncle and nephew, can talk slowly."
Very good!
Wang Chen nodded, and then asked, "Why?"
In this matter, Wang Chen is most confused about the point.
That is Lu Defang, who is a monk of great perfection of Qi Condensation and is also a friend of Wang Shaoyuan. Why do you have to put him or the original owner to death?
The grudges between our parents?
Otherwise it makes no sense at all!
"Why?"
Lu Defang smiled, "That's a good question, but it would be a long story."
Wang Chen said, "My nephew wants to hear it."
"That's fine!"
Lu Defang put the oil-paper umbrella into his storage bag, walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his hands, and said, "For the sake of brother Shao Yuan who saved my life back then, I will let you go on the road in peace."
But Wang Chen feels that this is not the real reason.
But this great perfection of Qi Condensation monk has too many things to say to others in his heart.
I can only talk to the dying person!
He glanced calmly at the bonfire on the ground in front of him.
There lies a Crane-shaped Pot quietly.
