My mythology is different from yours

After a group of people learned about the situation in Bian County, Linfu County, they continued to rush to other places.During the day, demons like to hide in deep and dark places, and they are not as rampant as at night.

But the situation in Linfu County is really dire. Many towns and counties that have lost their earth celestial beings have been trampled by evil spirits, leaving only the ruined houses and the blood solidified on the ground, which is like a ghost land on earth.

In some villages and towns where people survived by luck, most of the residents gathered near the temple, standing in the sun, shivering at the slightest disturbance, and even the shadows of trees were afraid.

The roaring dog ran wildly in various houses, barking loudly to force out the evil spirits hiding in the shadows.

After cleaning up the demons, Xuanzhi assisted the monks of the Xuansheng Sect to re-establish barriers in these places. The divine powers of Erlang Zhenjun and Monkey King made up for the lack of divine power of the Earth Immortals, and gave these desperate people a sense of security. of shelter.

After they walked through the land where the earth immortals disappeared, they also discovered the clues.

After Xuancheng Yuanjun's divine power was not as good as this land, the towns and counties in Linfu County were more or less attacked by evil spirits every night. Before the earth fairy in the town disappeared, its supernatural power was able to suppress the evil spirits.

If it is said that the earth immortals abandoned the divine books and left the earth, but when the earth immortals were sealed, the spiritual power of the mountains and rivers of the earth, and the thoughts of life endowed them with divinity. If they abandoned the divine books, the divine power would be stripped from them and returned to the earth. The creatures on the earth must have a sense.

But in fact, the divine power of the earth immortals in these towns and counties did not return to the territory, but disappeared from the territory overnight.

"It doesn't look like an evil spirit." Xuanzhi mused, "If an evil spirit invades and devours the Earth Immortal, how could the monks and common people in the town not notice it?"

Others naturally thought of this question, Qu Yinliu turned to ask a local monk, "Before and after the disappearance of the power of the Earth Immortal, did any suspicious people enter the town?"

The monk who stayed behind in the town shook his head and said: "Linfu County is infested by evil spirits, and the mountains and fields are full of hiding evil spirits. Even in the daytime, it is not safe. Every town has been surrounded into isolated islands, and outsiders can't enter. If you don’t come, everyone will gather near the temple, and if there are any suspicious people, they will definitely be discovered.”

"Although these earth immortals sealed by Xuan Cheng are not very good, they are not something people can take away casually." Shen Tutao lifted a tile on the eaves of the earth immortal's small earth temple, and everyone thought there was something wrong with the tile, Just as he was about to inquire carefully, he saw him toss it twice, and threw it on the ground casually, "There is no fluctuation of divine power, which means that the Earth Immortal has never made a move. It must not be an enemy in his view."

Sensing Xuan Zhi's gaze, Shen Tutao turned her eyes towards her, raised her brows slightly, and continued: "Xuan Cheng is unable to control this place now, but there must still be a local government lord here."

Xuanzhi clapped her palms and said, "Yes, Madam Xuancheng once mentioned that she once appointed a prince in Linfu County."

In the land under his jurisdiction, the earth immortals disappeared one after another. It is impossible for that mansion to be ignorant of such a big matter.Moreover, if you think about it carefully, if you are the lord of Linfu County, you can naturally enter and leave the area under your jurisdiction at will, without touching the enchantment, and it is not easy for mortal monks to notice.Dixian will not go to war with his immediate superior.

The local monk said: "The county town of Linfu County indeed enshrines a Lord Fu. However, the county is densely populated, and the Lord Fu has done his best to protect the county, so it is difficult to take care of other towns and counties. Contact, I'm afraid the county is also in bad luck."

"Then let's go to the county town to have a look." Xuanzhi said, calling Xiaotiangou back.

Qu Yinliu stepped forward and said, "Miss Xuan, I will find a local monk to go with you."

Just as Xuan Zhi was about to nod, a palm came around from behind to support her chin, and abruptly supported her head back which was about to be dropped. His Majesty the Ghost Emperor was close behind her, and a cold voice drifted past her ear, He said mercilessly, "Troublesome."

Qu Yinliu was stunned by his two words, his eyes swept over their intimate limbs, and he cupped his hands and said: "Miss Xuan and Shenjun Daxuan, the local monks probably won't trust you easily. It is bound to be faster for fellow teachers to lead."

Xuan Zhi tried to raise his head, glanced at His Majesty Ghost Emperor's chin behind him, and said, "I think..." What he said made sense.

Shen Tutao moved his palm up to cover her mouth, he squinted his eyes and looked at the mortal opposite, he picked up Xuan Zhi's waist and walked out.

Qu Yinliu chased after two steps, hesitantly said: "Miss Xuan..."

Xuan Zhi sensed the murderous aura on Shen Tutao's body, and quickly waved to him, signaling him not to follow.

Shen Tutao dragged her into the grove without saying a word, the cold air overflowed from her body, broke through the ghostly way, and pushed Xuan Zhi inside.When they came out of the ghost path again, they were already in a mass grave on the outskirts of the county city.

Xuan Zhi heard a click under his feet, lowered his head and looked down, and met the two dark eye holes on a skull. There was still a little flesh and blood on the bone, and the eye sockets could be seen in the dim light of the setting sun. Something is wriggling inside.

"Ah..." Xuanzhi covered her scream and jumped away from the spot, goosebumps spread from her foot that stepped on the human bone all the way to the back of her neck.

"Are you afraid of this?" Shen Tutao couldn't understand.When he first met, he had never seen her so afraid of him.

Xuan Zhi glanced around in a hurry, this chaotic graveyard was really chaotic.Countless graves were dug up by wild beasts or demons, and the dense white bones were exposed on the ground. Some of the fresher corpses clearly bore the marks of teeth after gnawing.

She should have known a long time ago that the entrance and exit of the ghost path would definitely not be a good place.

Xuanzhi turned his eyes away, looked at the tree beside him, stroked his little heart that was about to jump out of his throat, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I won't get in your car next time. I have a map, and I will ride somersault cloud, somersault cloud It's also fast."

"It's just a bone." Shen Tutao said, holding a pale finger bone in front of her.

Xuanzhi retreated a few steps in a row, his face turned pale with fright.

Shen Tutao: "..." I was really scared.

He flicked his fingers and waved his sleeves again. The soil surface on the mass grave surged up, sucking all the corpses on the surface into the soil and burying them. "I don't think you were so afraid when you were in Beiming."

Xuanzhi regained her strength, and said weakly: "That's different." Those Beiming ghosts she had seen were either human-like, or they were abstracted, so abstract that they didn't have any human-like appearance. way of life.

Compared with the real human bones under the feet now, the impact force is naturally different.To be honest, she could feel the breath of death more personally in such a mass grave.

Xuanzhi didn't want to stay here any longer, forgot to glance at the direction of the city in the distance, and ran down the mountain road quickly, "Let's go, it's going to be night soon."

Shen Tutao laughed and followed her leisurely.

The city gates of Linfu County are closed, and only caravans with guides are allowed to enter. Even if they hold guides, scattered people are not allowed to enter, unless they are monks who have established a foundation and above.Because it is impossible for ordinary civilians to survive in the wild alone.

Xuanzhi met the requirements of a foundation cultivator, but she had no way to guide her, so she finally sneaked into the city by somersaulting clouds.

The atmosphere in the county city was completely different from what they had expected. There were a lot of pedestrians and hawkers on the streets here, and the shops were also open normally. Even though it was almost nightfall, the residents in the city didn't have much worry on their faces.

They must be well protected, and they are not threatened by evil spirits, so they can feel at ease.

Such a peaceful scene, set off by the tragic situation in the surrounding towns and counties of Linfu County, made people more suspicious.

"Let's go directly to the temple." Xuanzhi wanted to ask someone for directions.

Shen Tutao reached out to grab her, and said, "Follow me."

Xuanzhi took a step back very quickly, avoiding his touch, and beckoned him to lead the way, "Please, Your Majesty."

Just kidding, his hand just squeezed a dead man's bone.

Her disgust was really obvious.His Majesty Ghost Emperor's face darkened suddenly, he flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, and strode forward.

The temple in Linfu County is not built on a high ground, but on a small island in the middle of the lake. There are wide plank roads leading to the island in the middle of the lake, and water lily leaves are floating all over the lake.Among the green leaves are budding lotus buds.

There are two temples on the island, one high and one low. The high temple is naturally the Xuancheng Yuanjun Palace, and the lower one is the Junchengfujun. The two temples are only a hundred steps away, but the incense is very different.

The palace of Yuanjun was deserted and there were no fireworks, but the palace of the Fujun was filled with green smoke and there was an endless stream of pilgrims.Xuanzhi also bought joss sticks at the entrance of the island, so she went to Yuanjun Hall to have a look.

Although the hall was deserted, it was cleaned very clean, and a stick of incense was burning in the incense burner, which was almost burned out.After she paid homage to Lord Yuan here, she didn't meet a single person from the moment she entered the hall to when she came out.

In contrast to another temple, there is still a line outside the temple.

"Even if Yuanjun's divine power is not as good as this place, and he can no longer protect them, the difference is too obvious." Xuan Zhi said a little unhappy, "Obviously the two temples are adjacent, but it's just a few more steps, one more step. Burning incense, why would they rather wait outside the hall than move around here to offer a stick of incense."

Shen Tutao didn't feel anything, "If you don't have faith and reverence for the gods in your heart, even if you come to offer incense, it's useless."

Xuanzhi secretly released the Xiaotian dog and let it sniff around to see if there was anything suspicious.

The roaring dog's figure flashed and disappeared from sight.They stood outside the Yuanjun Hall for a long time, and they had already attracted the attention of the Taoist priests in the temple. Xuanzhi could only hold the incense offerings and queue up with His Majesty the Ghost Emperor outside the Fujun Temple.

Under the eaves of the temple hangs a plaque with gold characters on a black background, engraved with the words "Saint Qinglian". The statue in the temple is a goddess who wears white gauze, holds three lotus flowers in her arms, and sits barefoot on lotus leaves.The saintly girl has a clear face, her eyes are half-drowned, and the lotus in her bosom has three different forms: one budding, one blooming, and one withered.

Shen Tutao whispered in Xuanzhi's ear: "Just call this holy lady out and ask."

Xuanzhi: Yes, very straightforward.

"Tell me, does she know better, or doesn't know better?" Shen Tutao said enthusiastically.

Miao Zhu, who presided over the incense in the hall, urged: "The two believers come in quickly if they want to offer incense, and don't delay the believers behind."

Xuanzhi took Xiaotiangou back to the talisman and crossed the threshold.When Shen Tutao stepped into the hall, he suddenly raised his hand and lightly touched the door frame.I saw a gleam of light flowing from his fingertips, covering the four walls of the hall in an instant, and laying down a formation.

The sound outside the hall disappeared suddenly, and the hall became a single space.The few Taoist priests in the temple didn't notice any abnormalities at first, until they saw that all the scenes outside the gate disappeared, as if covered by a layer of confusion, they realized something was wrong, and said sharply: "Who are you, how dare you Come to the Holy Maiden Temple to play wild?"

Shen Tutao raised his eyelids, and the Taoist priests were silenced, and stood there motionless, only the eyes that widened in horror, and the eyeballs could follow them around.

Xuanzhi didn't expect that what he said, so simple and rude, would directly hijack other people's temple.But the matter has come to this point, and she can only continue. Holding the incense offering in her hand, she bowed down and worshiped three times, and said: "My Lord Qinglian, I came to Linfu County under the guidance of Empress Xuancheng to help the Earth Immortal resist Demon, now encountering some difficulties, please ask the saint to show up and give advice."

After she finished speaking, she looked around in front of the incense burner, and finally found a gap where she could insert the incense in her hand into the incense burner.

The god statue on the temple shone brightly, and a figure emerged from the statue of Qinglian Saintess on the lotus leaf, and landed lightly on the ground.
