Chapter 378 Bloody Footprints
When Zhou Wen saw that Li Xuan had lost so much blood, he hesitated. This step would be enough for him to play many games.
However, the yard is relatively small, and there are not many steps to walk in total, only about ten steps at most. For the sake of Baixian's companion egg, Zhou Wen decided to give it a try.
Gudian, Feng Qiuyan and Alai all followed Li Xuan inside. Everyone's face changed when they walked in. One could imagine what it felt like to have many needles piercing the soles of a person's feet. Feng Qiuyan and the others were considered to be relatively patient people, but they still couldn't help but change color.
Gudian was at a slight disadvantage because his feet were too big and the bloody footprints he left behind were also much larger.
Zhou Wen followed the four people in at the end, mentally prepared to endure the pain of the needle pricks. However, when one foot stepped on the ground, he did not feel any pain. Instead, a warm current rose from the sole of his foot and went directly into his body. It turned out to be vital energy flowing into his body.
"Listen carefully!" Zhou Wen felt the power coming from the earrings, exactly the same feeling as when he was fighting against thunder and lightning in the Longmen Grottoes. He was filled with surprise and joy.
He tried walking a few more steps, and sure enough, his soles were not pierced like Li Xuan and the others, and he didn't feel any pain. Instead, a lot of vitality flowed into his body from the soles of his feet.
"Diting's evil soul is really strange. Under what circumstances will it be useful? Before it was thunder and lightning, and now it is the power of Baixian Temple. The two seem to have nothing in common. What do they have in common?" Zhou Wen thought to himself.
The yard was small to begin with, and Li Xuan and his companions only walked a dozen or so steps before reaching the incense burner.
However, these dozen steps are really difficult to walk. There are bloody footprints with every step. The further you go in, the more blood there are on the bloody footprints. The pain of thousands of needles piercing the soles of your feet may be bearable once or twice, but ordinary people generally cannot bear to walk more than ten steps like this.
Li Xuan was the first to walk to the incense burner, then he respectfully lit three incense sticks, bowed three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.
After doing all this, Li Xuan looked into the big house with anticipation.
Zhou Wen also looked into the big house and saw that there was no statue inside. There was only a wooden sign on the altar with the words "Old Lady Bai" written on it.
Snap!
The three incense sticks that Li Xuan inserted into the incense burner suddenly tilted and broke in the middle.
"This trip is in vain. You guys come and try it." Li Xuan stepped aside depressedly.
Being able to come in and burn incense is one thing, but whether or not one can obtain the White Fairy Companion Egg is another. The three incense sticks were directly broken, which clearly showed that the old lady did not accept Li Xuan's incense, and naturally would not give him the White Fairy Companion Egg.
Alai walked forward, bowed three times like Li Xuan, and then lit the incense.
The five people focused their eyes on the three incense sticks, wondering if they would break like Li Xuan's incense.
The three incense sticks did not break, but the lit incense burned very quickly. The incense that would have taken dozens of minutes to burn out was burned to the bottom in just a few minutes.
Moreover, the smoke emitted by the three incense sticks did not dissipate, but condensed into a ball above the incense. After the three incense sticks were completely burned, the smoke turned into a white egg and fell into the ashes of the incense burner.
"Alai, your luck has come, hurry up and get the companion egg." Li Xuan said.
Alai picked up the companion egg from the incense ash. It was the size of a fist, crystal white, and looked like porcelain.
Next, Feng Qiuyan also went to burn incense, but the result was the same as Li Xuan's. The incense broke suddenly just after it was inserted. Obviously, she did not win the favor of Mrs. Bai.
Gudian walked over to burn incense, but this guy didn't even bow. He just lit it and casually stuck it into the incense burner. Li Xuan and the others shook their heads and thought it would be strange if they could get a companion egg in this way.
But what surprised them was that the three crooked incense sticks that Gudian had inserted into the incense burner did not break. They burned as quickly as before and burned out in a short time. The smoke also turned into a companion egg.
"I wouldn't have bowed if I had known." Li Xuan felt even more depressed after seeing this.
"Old Zhou, it's your turn." Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen at the back, but when he saw him, he immediately felt something was wrong.
There were two rows of bloody footprints behind the three of them, but the place where Zhou Wen was standing was clean and there was nothing there. Li Xuan looked carefully again and found that from the door to the incense burner, there were only six rows of bloody footprints of the three of them, and there was indeed no Zhou Wen's.
Zhou Wen was about to burn incense when he heard Li Xuan say, "Old Zhou, isn't this right?"
"The coach hasn't burned incense yet, what's wrong?" Feng Qiuyan said.
Li Xuan pointed at the bloody footprints on the ground and said, "I'm not talking about burning incense, I'm talking about these bloody footprints. We all left bloody footprints, why didn't Zhou Wen have any?"
Feng Qiuyan and the others had not noticed Zhou Wen who was walking at the back before. Now that Li Xuan said this, they all turned around to look at the ground, and indeed, they did not find Zhou Wen's bloody footprints.
Zhou Wen said, "I happen to have a companion pet that can restrain the power here, so I didn't suffer from the pain of the needle."
"Is this okay? Where did you get your companion pet? I'll go get one too." Li Xuan's eyes widened. He had never heard of anyone's companion pet being immune to the acupuncture power in the Baixian Temple.
"Small Buddhist Temple, you can go and try it if you want." Zhou Wen said.
Li Xuan's eyes widened. "You actually went to the Small Buddhist Temple? I heard that many people died there. If you walked in, you would die inexplicably. How did you survive? How did you get the companion egg?"
"I've read a strategy guide online before. That strategy guide said that as long as you practice the Heart Zen Qi technique, you can safely reach the small Buddhist temple. However, to enter the main hall, you must first learn the Qi technique on a stone tablet in the temple, otherwise it will be a dead end. I tried it, and the strategy guide is really correct." Zhou Wen made it clear. If Li Xuan and the others had the opportunity to go in, it would be best if they could get the companion egg inside. After all, Zhou Wen himself couldn't get it.
He had been there both in the game and in reality. After he got the Di Ting, the Three-Faced Buddha had no reaction to him at all.
"You dare to believe all the strategies on the Internet? You are lucky that you are not dead. I'd rather forget it." Li Xuan shook his head. If he were to practice other Qi techniques again, it would be one thing whether he could succeed or not. But if it conflicted with the Xiantian Invincible Divine Art, it would be a waste of time.
"Coach, have you practiced multiple Qi techniques?" Feng Qiuyan asked in surprise.
"Just practice casually, the main thing is to practice your own Qi Jue." Zhou Wen said.
Feng Qiuyan exclaimed in admiration, "I heard that the Qi Jue in that dimensional realm requires a special physique to master. Coach, although you haven't practiced it in depth, you've actually been able to get started while practicing it concurrently. Your talent is truly astonishing."
"Putting aside other things, in terms of talent, there should be no one stronger than Lao Zhou. He can be so strong just by playing games all day. If he practices hard, I'm afraid there will be no way for others to survive." Li Xuan also said.
