Xu Jianguo came to the stone gate opposite the passage. The stone gate in front of him was much smaller than the stone gate outside and was about the same size as a normal door.
He placed his hand on the stone door and pushed it gently, and the stone door opened.
What came into view was another stone chamber. The area of the stone chamber was not big, about seven or eight square meters. Xu Jianguo walked in.
The moment he stepped into the stone chamber, clusters of flames ignited from the seven lamps on the stone wall, illuminating the entire stone chamber.
Xu Jianguo adjusted to the light and began to look at the layout of the stone chamber.
On the wall opposite the stone gate are three tall black stone statues. Upon closer inspection, it is discovered that they are actually statues of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism.
Xu Jianguo couldn't help but wonder in his heart. The jade tablet left by the old Taoist priest, the old Taoist priest on the mural, the three figures looming in the auspicious clouds, and the stone statues of the Three Pure Ones in front of him, all revealed the relationship between this place and Taoism.
But he couldn't understand why the Taoist masters built such a stone chamber here. What was their purpose?
On the stone altar in front of the statue stands an incense burner carved from black stone.
In front of the incense burner is a wooden stand with a whisk placed on it.
The handle of the whisk is completely black, and looks like the same material as the Three Pure Ones statues. The front end is made of a pure white silk thread of unknown material. The entire whisk is clearly black and white, giving people an indescribable feeling.
There are three cushions placed on the ground in front of the stone altar. Apart from these, there is nothing else in the stone chamber.
Xu Jianguo walked forward slowly and first looked around the left and right sides of the Sanqing statue. He found that the stone statue was actually an integral part of the stone wall behind it. He couldn't help but sigh at the ancient people's superb carving skills.
Walking back to the altar, Xu Jianguo looked up at the stone statues of the Three Pure Ones in front of him. His first impression was that the stone sculptures were lifelike, as if the three people standing in front of him were living people.
However, at the moment when he accidentally met the eyes of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Xu Jianguo felt a roaring sound in his mind. The sound seemed to resound throughout the sky, and seemed to be right next to his ears. Then a deep voice sounded in his mind.
"Yin and Yang are reversed, the universe is boundless, catastrophe is coming, Taoism and Buddhism will no longer exist!"
"Young man, are you willing to be the guardian of my sect?"
Xu Jianguo calmed himself down and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am everything, and everything is me. Are you willing to be the guardian of my sect?"
Xu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "I'm not a Taoist priest, so I don't know how to protect the Taoist sect."
"Only by protecting our Daoist spiritual child can you save our Daoist sect!"
"The spiritual child you are talking about is not Funiu, right?" Xu Jianguo asked in surprise, his eyes wide open.
"Exactly!"
"You don't want Funiu to become a Taoist priest when she grows up, do you?"
"Everything is predestined. The future of the spirit child is up to her to decide."
Xu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt something was amiss, so he continued to ask, "If that's the case, you still want me to protect her. Is there anyone who might harm her?"
"You decide for yourself, but please protect her!"
Xu Jianguo felt a little upset. It seemed that his guess was right. Someone really wanted to harm Funiu, but who could it be?
"No matter who you are, if you dare to hurt Funiu, I will make you pay the price!" Xu Jianguo thought secretly in his heart.
"Young man, time is running out. Please keep the whisk on the altar. We will meet again in the future. The three of us will be waiting for you there. Take care!"
"Wait, where is that?" Xu Jianguo asked hurriedly. His eyes flashed and he had already withdrawn from that mysterious feeling.
He found himself still standing in front of the altar, and looked at the stone statues of the Three Pure Ones again. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, a look of horror appeared on his face.
"Three people? Waiting for me? There? Damn, the person who just spoke to me couldn't be the Three Pure Ones?" Xu Jianguo thought in his heart, his face full of disbelief.
After thinking about it for a long time without figuring it out, Xu Jianguo simply gave up. After all, Funiu was his sister, and protecting her was his natural duty.
He stretched out his hand to pick up the whisk on the altar, and the moment his fingers touched the black handle, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding, the system detects energy fluctuations from the two boundary stones and begins fusion]
"This thing is indeed the Two-Realm Stone! I'm going to make a fortune this time, but I wonder what the space will be upgraded to?" Xu Jianguo thought to himself. The first time he saw the whisk, he knew it might be the Two-Realm Stone. Not only the whisk, but the incense burner and the Three Pure Ones stone statue should also be made of the Two-Realm Stone. No wonder the system reminded him before that there were a large amount of Two-Realm Stone energy fluctuations. It seems that this is the place it was talking about.
[Ding, the energy fusion of the two world stones is complete. The system has detected energy fluctuations in the other two world stones. Do you want to continue the fusion?]
Putting the whisk into the space, Xu Jianguo muttered in his heart: "Yes, fusion!"
[Ding, host, please touch the Two Realm Stone]
Xu Jianguo reached out to touch the incense burner on the altar, and the system prompt sound immediately appeared in his mind.
[Ding, starting to fuse the energy of the two world stones]
[Ding, the fusion of the two world stones is complete. The system has detected the energy of two other world stones. Do you want to continue the fusion?]
Xu Jianguo walked over to the Three Pure Ones statue, reached out to touch it, and said in his mind: "System, fusion!"
[Ding, starting to fuse the energy of the two world stones]
[Ding, the energy of the two world stones has been integrated, and the storage space is being upgraded. The energy of the two world stones is sufficient this time, and a major upgrade will be carried out. The upgrade is estimated to take two hours. Please wait patiently. During the space upgrade, the host can access items through thought, but the host itself cannot enter or exit the space.]
"Oh shit, I was careless!" After hearing the system's prompt, Xu Jianguo was instantly numb. He never expected that this upgrade would take so long.
He tried to enter the space, but found that it had no effect. He could only sit on the mat helplessly and wait for the space upgrade to be completed.
After sitting on the cushion for a while, Xu Jianguo felt bored. He looked at the statue of the Three Pure Ones and then at the incense burner. He had an idea and took out three incense sticks from the supermarket.
After lighting the incense with a lighter, Xu Jianguo respectfully bowed three times to the statue of the Three Pure Ones, then inserted the incense into the incense burner, then knelt on the cushion and kowtowed three times to the Three Pure Ones.
Just after Xu Jianguo kowtowed for the last time, something strange happened. A ray of light shot out from the foreheads of the three stone statues. The three rays of light, white, purple and gold, suddenly penetrated into Xu Jianguo's forehead.
After bowing his head, Xu Jianguo just straightened his back and wanted to stand up when he was hit by three rays of light. Then he felt dizzy and his eyes went black and he fainted.
