Chapter 149 Hong Xiu's Deception: The Secret Behind Fanyin Temple

The day after Xie Tingyu's disappearance, Wen Zhiyu also disappeared from the cultivation world and no one ever saw him again.

Xuanyuntian could see Wen Zhi's feelings towards Xie Tingyu, but he sighed secretly every time he talked about this.

Two geniuses of the Polaris Plate encountered misfortune within two days.

It really makes people sigh.

The Demonic Abyss was not the main battlefield. Wormholes appeared in other places, from which giant insects filled with demonic energy crawled out.

These wormholes appeared in no regular pattern, catching the cultivation world off guard.

Yun Heng led a group of sword cultivators as the vanguard to kill the first batch of monsters, and waited for the cultivators who specialized in formations to arrive and seal the wormhole.

There are many wormholes, and some even appear in the mortal world.

The mundane world is basically inhabited by mortals. There are cultivators in the aristocratic families and the imperial palace. The other common people are simply powerless to resist and can only be slaughtered by the monsters.

Xuan Yuntian took the lead in organizing a team to rescue the mortal world and rushed to the mortal world to rescue the mortals.

Thirty percent of the disciples were left in Xuanyuntian Sect to guard the sect, and the rest were sent out.

Xie Tingyu was flying in the air, his sight deflected downwards.

There are many black holes on the ground, some of which have golden runes flowing through them. They are sealed wormholes.

There were also many small shadows surrounding some wormholes. Xie Tingyu was suspended in mid-air, stepping steadily in the air.

The short shadows are all paper figures. The talismans float outside the wormhole, blocking the exit of the wormhole and preventing the monsters inside from getting out.

These people came from all over the cultivation world. Xie Tingyu didn't know them and didn't know which sects they belonged to.

She swept across the battlefield and flew elsewhere. On the way from Moyuan to Xuanyuntian, she would experience the gradual melting of glaciers, and the melted water from the ice and snow would flow into rivers of all sizes.

All rivers eventually flow into the sea, and at this rate, they are heading to the Xuandu Sea.

She simply stopped and transformed into a small boat.

Take her forward in a boat.

The river became filthy the moment she jumped in, spreading from the boat.

Xie Tingyu flicked his finger and the golden thread penetrated the boat and went down.

The boat passed slowly, leaving a trail of light red blood.

Xie Ting remained calm and followed the flow of water.

Whenever they encountered a monster, they would wave their hands to kill it. The speed of the boat was getting faster and faster, and the water suddenly became much clearer.

This is the territory of Xuanyuntian.

During the voyage, Xie Tingyu also used magic to speed up and travel through space, so it didn't take long to get from Moyuan to Xuanyuntian.

Xie Tingyu raised his eyes.

She came to Xuanyuntian for only one thing.

Use Xuan Yuntian's teleportation array to go to the mortal world.

There is something in the mundane world that needs her confirmation.

She had seen her past life in the memory fragments, where Wen Zhi had a life-and-death battle with Qiu Qingyu, and severely injured Qiu Qingyu in the mortal world, leaving Qiu Qingyu unable to resist the heavenly calamity and unable to ascend smoothly.

There are many Fanyin temples in the secular world. Those Fanyin temples are rooted in the secular world and exist on the incense money from the common people.

Most of the people in the temples are a group of idle monks who indulge in drinking and eating meat. What's worse, some of them don't even pretend to be good at it and make trouble for the common people who go to worship Buddha and make wishes.

They have no concept of Buddha.

I just want to live in the temple and wait for death.

So, why do those Fanyin temples still stand and even increase in number? And why do ordinary people, suffering from the deception of the monks in Fanyin temples, continue to go there to pray?

The mortal world is facing a catastrophe of monster invasion. If no one in the mortal world steps forward and the world of cultivation sends only support, the mortal world will fall sooner or later.

The mortal world fell first, the cultivation world was destroyed later, and finally the human race was destroyed.

Just thinking about it is a tragic scene.

While thinking, I walked in slowly.

There was a ripple on the surface of Xuan Yuntian's protective formation, and the disciples who stayed behind in the sect quickly went on alert and reinforced the formation.

In the end, even the great tribulation masters were frightened. The person came silently, and in the blink of an eye, no trace of him could be found.

Being able to escape from the presence of a powerful being who was undergoing tribulation was clearly too abnormal.

Either the opponent has a magical weapon to conceal his aura, but what is more likely is that the opponent is also in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and is even more powerful than the Tribulation Crossing masters in the sect.

When did another tribulation period appear in the world of cultivation?

As the sect leader, Situ You stayed in the sect to guard it.

When he noticed it, he immediately went forward to investigate, but the person did not leave any clues and he could not find out where he went.

The worst case scenario is that the intruder has bad intentions. If a powerful monster from the depths of the Demonic Abyss escapes, Xuanyuntian will be very likely to suffer heavy damage.

Situ You was thinking here, when suddenly, a bright light appeared in his vision. The light shot up into the sky, and Situ You's eyes changed, "Not good."

The teleportation array was activated.

Xie Tingyu entered the mysterious cloud sky as if he had entered a place without people.

No one in Xuanyuntian noticed her whereabouts, so Xie Tingyu entered the teleportation array smoothly.

The teleportation array can be activated with spirit stones, but she has no spirit stones now, and the storage ring that contained things was reduced to ashes along with "Xie Tingyu" during that death escape.

She used a spell to teleport, and at the last moment when her vision was filled with light, Xie Tingyu saw a person with red hair. Situ You hurried over but was still a step too late, and just happened to see the other person's figure which had not yet completely disappeared.

Her face was blurry and her black robe was printed with golden runes. The runes were distorted as the spiritual power in the formation fluctuated, making her look extremely strange.

Situ You's fiery red hair looked even more vivid, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"This person's movements are indeed very fast." Situ You said softly, "But she did nothing after entering Xuanyuntian, and went straight to the teleportation array. It seems that she is very familiar with the layout of Xuanyuntian."

The figures of many people flashed through his mind. Situ You looked up. Above the Sword Mountain, red sword energy rose into the sky, surrounding the Sword Mountain and did not dissipate for a long time.

The red curtain covered the sky. Situ You thought of the day when Tianxing Chixiao recognized his master and the entire Xuanyun Sky was shrouded in red. That scene was still fresh in his mind yesterday.

Xuan Yuntian's teleportation array connects several large states in the mortal world, and these states are all important places in the mortal world.

Either it is an important military state, or it is a national granary and a capital of wealth.

The place Xie Tingyu arrived at was called Qingzhou. The land of Qingzhou had long been plagued by barbarians.

Now that the monsters have invaded, they have broken through this line of defense and are attacking the heart of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou was in ruins, with bones scattered all over the ground. The strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of decay. Vultures were circling, and crows were crying on the branches, making miserable sounds.

Xie Tingyu's feet touched the ground. The land here was dry and lacked water, and there were countless cracks on the ground.

Xie Tingyu's vision was far-reaching. There were very few people walking outside. A short man in tattered clothes suddenly jumped out from the corner. Cang Huang avoided Xie Tingyu's sight, pounced on a corpse, took out a knife and lowered his head.

His hands were shaking and he sped up when he noticed Xie Tingyu's gaze.

Seeing this, Xie Tingyu turned around and walked back and forth in the surrounding deserted village. When she came back, the man was gone, and some flesh was missing from the corpse's hands and feet.

It seems that he had poached her.

Soon, many eyes emerged from the darkness, but they did not stay on her for long. Most of them were paying attention to the corpse that was already emitting a foul smell.

Xie Tingyu's emotions were surging and very complicated.

Not to mention cannibalism, even fighting over carrion is enough to shock people.

Is this the extent of these people's situation?

Xie Tingyu didn't know where to put his mind. There were resentful souls wandering everywhere in this deserted village. The soul of the corpse in front of him was staring at those who coveted his body not far away.

Thank you for listening to Yumai and walk away from this place.

Just before leaving, he waved his sleeves, purified the soul, and led it to the ghost house.

There are innumerable souls here, and it will take a lot of time to lead them all into the ghost house.

Xie Tingyu left a way out.

As for how these ghosts would be placed in the next life, she had no right to ask.

After paying the incense money, Fanyin Temple did not take any action, not even to pray for blessings.

Xie Tingyu recalled the first time she met Wen Zhi and Cheng Yan, and when they went to Fanyin Temple together, they encountered a Buddha statue transformed into a ghost.

The vengeful ghost escaped from the Nine Abyss and disguised itself as a Buddha statue in the Fanyin Temple. These vengeful ghosts were full of hatred and hostility. People often went in and out of the Fanyin Temple, causing no benefit but only harm to the people.

What's more, the existence of Fanyin Temple itself is problematic.

A wave of monsters appeared in the mortal world. Xie Tingyu observed along the way and found that wherever there were wormholes, there was the shadow of Fanyin Temple.

This does not mean that there is something strange about Fanyin Temple itself, but we can put clues here.

The Jiuyuan and the Moyuan are connected. Ghosts can appear in the Fanyin Temple. So, can monsters also come to the mortal world through the Fanyin Temple?

Xie Tingyu leaped out, his eyes sweeping across the desolate scenery.

Qingzhou was originally an important military base, but now it has been destroyed by monsters, leaving only a pile of dry bones and wailing poor people.

The warriors died in battle and their bodies were left exposed in the wilderness. No one knew their names and no one cared about their origins. Even if monks came to help, they might never return.

Xie Tingyu thought she shouldn't have any emotions, but there seemed to be a voice in her heart calling out to her, persuading her, asking her to help them.

Directly sending them into reincarnation is not a method that a Ghost King can possess. Only a Ghost Lord of this level can activate the Reincarnation Bell.

She was powerless, there was nothing she could do.

A feeling of weakness surged into his heart, and Xie Tingyu felt a dull pain in his chest.

The pain is all too familiar.

“This king cannot help you reincarnate, but do you want to go to the ghost palace?” One can vaguely recognize expressions on the blurry faces of the wandering souls. They are neither sad nor happy, and their faces are expressionless. Their bodies sway while they move, which is a manifestation of their unconsciousness.

How could ghosts who died of hunger or disease during a famine seem to have their spirits robbed?

Xie Tingyu frowned slightly, her expression showing a hint of nervousness. What other force was behind this?

When the Gate of Life and Death appeared, most people were led to the Gate of Death by the red line.

The rules of the Gate of Life and Death seem to be strictly defined, but when there is no god and it is difficult to determine the virtue of a person in his or her lifetime, they will be assigned randomly.

Xie Tingyu had never noticed this before.

It was said to be a random distribution, but most of them entered the realm of death.

There are ghosts in the ghost house who are unhappy with her and want to get rid of her as soon as possible. The ghost master and Hongxiu are secretly planning, and no one knows what they are looking for on her.

There was something really wrong with the performance of the Gate of Life and Death. Xie Tingyu couldn't help but think about it.

The souls of these mortals were too fragile to be retrieved by her ghost magic, so she had to let the red line inside the Gate of Life and Death slowly capture them.

Xie Tingyu left a clone here, and his real body flew in the air. Nearby was the place where the monster tide first broke out. The demonic energy there was spreading and was extremely conspicuous. Moreover, one of the thousands of Brahma Sound Temples was located within that demonic barrier.

This Fanyin Temple was slightly different from the one she had been to before, but the deep and solemn Zen sounds could be heard there.

This Zen sound is the only place in Fanyin Temple that has a temple-like feel.

There was no one inside or outside the Fanyin Temple, so she walked straight in without any obstruction.

The objects and decorations were all in tatters, and it was obvious that a monster had been here and killed someone.

Xie Tingyu wiped the railing in the corridor with her fingers. There was a thick layer of dust on it. Xie Tingyu pushed open the heavy door.

The door creaked, but the hall where the Buddha statue was placed was spotless. There were fresh offerings on the table. A handful of incense ash fell on the table, but there was no trace of incense.

It's dusty outside, but it's clean here.

The Buddha statue seems to be smiling but not smiling, which is strange and bizarre.

A flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind and she flew towards the Buddha statue. The head of the Buddha statue fell off with a bang. Xie Tingyu took a few steps back and the head of the Buddha statue rolled right at her feet.

There is a sarcastic and vicious smile on the Buddha's face, and a cruel arc at the corners of his lips. The seven emotions and six desires, joy, sorrow, and happiness all appear on this Buddha.

"Infatuated demon." Xie Tingyu muttered to himself, staring intently.

"There really are monsters in the Fanyin Temple."

The Obsessed Demon comes from the depths of the Demon Abyss. It can sense people's emotions and absorb emotional power to strengthen itself. It especially likes fear and greed. The strongest can reach the level of human's tribulation-crossing cultivation.

The strength should not be underestimated.

However…

Xie Tingyu lowered his eyes, with a purple-gold light flashing in his eyes.

He raised his foot and stomped down hard, easily crushing the demon's head, turning it into a pile of powder.

There was suddenly a layer of dust in the hall, but it was still not as much as the dust outside.

The golden thread wrapped around the remaining body of the Buddha, tightly wrapping around the body of the Buddha.

The Obsessive Demon roared madly, and purple air spurted out of its mouth, accompanied by sharp whoosits.

The obsessive demon was torn apart by her, turning into a pile of wriggling fragments.

A huge black hole appeared behind it, with faint ghost and devilish auras emanating from it. Xie Tingyu strangled the obsessive demon by the waist and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Hongxiu, oh Hongxiu, you really have been hiding it from me from the beginning to the end."
