Chapter 127 Great Dark Sky, people outside the city want to get in, people inside the city want to get out
"Master Qinglian, this is the entrance to the ground from the imperial mausoleum."
"There are currently five Buddha statues in the entire Great Yan Imperial City, one main statue and four sub-statues."
"The main statue is located in the imperial palace of our dynasty's old capital. This is also the place where the Black Lotus Cult's evildoers have the strictest defenses. The Black Lotus Cult's guardians have been guarding there all the time."
"Given your current condition, it is almost impossible to destroy the main statue in the palace. We don't need you to take the risk of destroying the main statue."
"Master, you just need to find the locations of the other four statues in the city, and then find a way to destroy them."
"Because if this happens, the leaders of the Black Lotus Sect will lose the ability to communicate with the Buddha Mother. Not only will their strength be greatly reduced, but they will also never be able to be resurrected in this world."
"However, if only one of these four statues is still alive, then the remaining Black Lotus Altar Master can escape there and still use the remaining statue to borrow the power of the Buddha Mother."
"So the Taoist priest must either destroy the sub-statue and then kill the Black Lotus Altar Master who is guarding there, or find a way to destroy the four sub-statues in a short period of time."
"As long as the four sub-statues are gone, the only Black Lotus Sect guardian will not be a concern. Leave it to us to deal with."
Hearing this, Lu Chen asked: "Then how do I destroy these Buddha statues?"
Lan Yan immediately took out the bottle she had prepared in advance and handed it to Lu Chen.
"It's very simple, Taoist priest, you just need to sprinkle His Majesty's blood on it."
[Name: Longevity Essence and Blood]
[Effect: Can be used to break the power of Gu Da, or restore a large amount of blood and spiritual power, and increase lifespan by 20 years. ]
Lu Chen was very surprised when he saw the effect of the immortal body's essence and blood.
Because he could feel that even if he was a first-grade Dao Immortal cultivator, if he directly consumed the essence and blood of the immortal body.
It can still allow him to directly restore all his conditions.
So in a sense.
This small bottle of immortal body essence blood is equivalent to Lu Chen's life!
No wonder Lan Yan and others can rely on Ji Linger to resurrect unlimited times.
Although Ji Ling'er is just a mortal, if she can make good use of her power.
Although she is not an immortal in terms of cultivation, she is comparable to an immortal in other aspects! After all, some forbidden techniques can be performed without cultivation, but at the cost of consuming the user's lifespan.
But for Ji Ling'er, who has an infinite life span, this price is equivalent to no price! And Ji Ling'er must be very clear about what Lu Chen can think of.
But she did not choose this path, but chose to become the core of the Changming Formation. I think she must have had her considerations for this.
"Master Qinglian, Lan Yan is here... I wish you all the best."
Lu Chen nodded, then walked towards the passage leading to the ground of the imperial mausoleum.
After passing through a relatively long and narrow passage, Lu Chen soon arrived at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum and the imperial city.
The imperial mausoleum of the Great Yan Dynasty was built on the eastern outskirts of the imperial city.
If Lu Chen wanted to destroy the Buddha statue in the city.
The first step before him was how to enter the city.
You have to know that the evildoers in the imperial city are not fools.
As long as Lu Chen destroyed any statue of the Buddha in the city.
Then the Black Lotus followers from the remaining directions will arrive as soon as possible.
If the noise gets too loud, even the Black Lotus Sect guardians in the palace might be alarmed.
And with his current strength, if he were to face the Black Lotus Sect's guardian who was at the fifth level of the Golden Core Stage.
There is absolutely no chance of winning, you can't escape even if you run.
As for the four leaders of the Black Lotus Sect, Lu Chen was confident that he could deal with them.
After all, the statue of the Buddha gave them powerful power.
But things you borrow are not yours after all.
As long as Lu Chen finds an opportunity to destroy these statues, the four Black Lotus Sect leaders will no longer be such a big threat to him.
After all, they are a group of people who relied on external forces to barely break through to the Jindan stage.
As long as there is no external help.
Their realm is at most the fake pill stage.
The false pill stage is not something that Lu Chen cannot solve now. It just takes some effort.
"First, find out the locations of the four Buddha statues, and then see how to destroy them."
After sorting these out, Lu Chen strode out of the imperial mausoleum.
As soon as he walked out of the imperial mausoleum, Lu Chen immediately saw a gray sky.
And in the air on the ground, Lu Chen also felt a familiar and strange force.
He had felt this power before in the copy of the Ancient Sword Tomb.
It is the strange black fog surrounding the Cangjian Pavilion.
[You have stepped into the earthly Buddhist kingdom of the ancient Buddha Mother of Great Compassion and Mercy, and you have been infected by the power of the ancient Buddha...]
[Your talent: Fairy Lotus Embryo is activated, and you are immune to the infection of Gu Qie's power...]
Lu Chen looked at the light gray mist in the air around him and quickly understood why Lan Yan and others said that they could not walk freely on the ground.
The so-called black fog is essentially a manifestation of ancient power.
The domineering nature of this power lies in the fact that if you are not a believer of the Buddha Mother, you will not be able to use these special spiritual powers that have been infected by the Buddha Mother.
Not only that, if you stay in such an environment for a long time, you will be contaminated by the power of the Buddha Mother and produce some special mutations.
In other words, Lu Chen, who possesses the immortal lotus embryo, can ignore this kind of power.
If it were anyone else, even a fierce ghost like Lan Yan, they would not be able to stay in such an environment for a long time.
The terrifying nature of Gu Qie is obvious to all.
In addition to sensing the faint power of ancient power in the surrounding air.
Lu Chen also discovered that the situation on the ground seemed different from what he had initially thought.
He originally thought that in the Great Yan Imperial City occupied by Gu Qie, there should be no other living people except for the evildoers and some monsters.
But in fact, Lu Chen discovered that the imperial city seemed to have retained its original state.
The people are still the same people, and the imperial city is still the same imperial city.
It’s just that the people who originally managed the people have changed from the Great Yan royal family to the current Black Lotus followers.
And the closer you get, the thicker the ancient fog-like power becomes.
Looking towards the imperial city from this position, Lu Chen could clearly see five places where the ancient power was relatively strong.
Among them, the power of ancient Qie at the location of the imperial palace is the strongest.
Needless to say, these five places should be the locations where the statues of the Mother of Buddha are placed.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately walked towards a village below the mountain range where the imperial tomb was located.
Because compared to entering the city now, he wanted to know the current situation of the Great Yan Imperial City more.
If we can get some useful information.
That might allow him to find the exact location of the four Buddha mother and child statues more quickly without wasting too much time.
Even though he could be resurrected infinitely in the dungeon, Lu Chen was still used to planning before taking action.
Acting rashly has never been his style.
Three kilometers away from Dayan Imperial City, there is Chenjia Village.
Chenjia Village is a small village outside the Great Yan Imperial City.
It is said that there was no village here originally, but because the royal family of Dayan built the imperial mausoleum here 5,000 years ago, tens of thousands of people gathered nearby.
With so many people gathered together, naturally some people simply settled nearby after the imperial mausoleum was built.
This is how the large and small villages were formed around the imperial mausoleum.
Normally speaking, five thousand years is a very long history for mortals.
It was so long that they should not remember anything about the imperial mausoleum.
But over the years, the Black Lotus Sect, the state religion of the Great Yan Dynasty, would occasionally organize large numbers of people to attack the Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum.
As a result, many people in the imperial city and even the surrounding areas knew about the existence of the Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum.
They even placed their hopes of getting rid of the Black Lotus Cult on this imperial tomb.
They wondered if one day an immortal would walk out of this imperial mausoleum and end their current miserable life.
But this hope has lasted for thousands of years, but has never appeared, so most people have given up on this idea and passively accepted the rule of the Black Lotus Sect.
In Chenjia Village, it is the spring plowing season and the middle-aged men in Chenjia Village are busy sowing.
Some women were sitting by the river, washing clothes.
If you ignore the gray fog around them, their life wouldn't seem too unusual.
But if you look closely at these people, you will find that each of them is not only pale and thin, but also has bloodshot pupils.
He looked as if he was worried about a lot and had not slept well for years.
An indescribable feeling of oppression hung over everyone in Chenjia Village.
At the entrance of Chenjia Village, several children were surrounding a middle-aged man with a silly face and a limping leg, laughing and teasing him.
Some of the children kept poking him with branches, while others kept trying to steal the pancakes from the man's arms.
It seemed that for these kids, playing with such a fool was very fun.
Faced with the teasing of these children, the middle-aged man was not angry. Instead, he protected the pancake in his arms with great effort.
This silly look made the kids around him tease him even more excitedly.
So much so that a child about twelve years old, for some unknown reason, ran to the side of the road, picked up a stone on the ground, and threw it hard at the middle-aged man.
Bang! The small stone hit the middle-aged man's forehead, and soon a big bump appeared.
Although the middle-aged man touched his forehead with some pain, he was not angry at all, and did not even curse at the child beside him.
It was as if he was used to such things.
And seeing that this middle-aged man was hit by the stone, he was still unwilling to put down the pancake in his arms.
The half-grown naughty kid even wanted to pick up another stone from the ground and throw it at him.
Such behavior is no longer a joke and is extremely bad.
Just as the older child picked up the stone from the ground, a roar suddenly came from a distant path.
“What are you doing!”
This powerful roar instantly scared the group of naughty kids.
They looked in the direction of the sound and soon saw a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old holding a black Buddhist scripture in his hands.
Seeing the anger on the boy's face, the naughty kids immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
But the naughty kid who picked up a stone to throw at the middle-aged man just now stopped provocatively halfway through his run.
Not only did he make a face at the two of them.
He even mocked her with his words: "Lululu, the son of a fool, can only be a fool!"
Hearing this, the young man who had already walked up to the middle-aged man became angry.
He immediately rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach these ignorant guys a lesson.
But before he could take any action, the middle-aged man next to him stopped him.
Without considering the occasion, he kept trying to pass the pancake in his arms to the boy.
"Eat, eat bread..."
"It's cold and not tasty..."
The boy, who was irritated by this group of kids, had no mood to eat pancakes at this moment.
He pushed the middle-aged man away and looked at him with eyes wide open.
The man fell down without caring, and the pancakes in his arms scattered on the muddy ground.
"Eat, eat, eat. You've been bullied by a group of kids, and you still have time to let me eat. I'm in the mood to eat!"
"I, Chen An, have been so unlucky for half my life. How could I have a father as stupid as you? It's shameful!"
Having said that, the young Chen An didn't even look at his father and walked straight towards the village.
When passing by his father, Chen An said firmly: "Go into the city. When I pass the Black Lotus exam, I will definitely go into the city and leave here to become a Black Lotus member who will not be bullied."
"Instead of being like you, staying here all your life as a worthless person who gets bullied by others."
"That's right. I, Chen An, will definitely go to the city and become a superior person..."
After he finished speaking, Chen An quickly walked into the village and disappeared from the man's sight.
Although Chen Shan was pushed down by his own son, there was no trace of anger on his face.
Instead, he watched until Chen An's figure disappeared from his sight before he withdrew his gaze with relief.
Then he knelt on the ground, ignoring the fact that the ground had become muddy after the light rain, and carefully picked up the pancake that had fallen on the ground.
After picking up all the mud-covered pancakes, Chen An wiped the dirt off his hands with his clothes and put some of the cleaner pancakes into the bag hanging around his neck.
The remaining pancakes were placed in his clothes.
After doing all this, Chen An crawled to the side using his hands and feet.
He got back his walking stick that was deliberately thrown on the roadside by those naughty kids.
Then he used his crutches to support himself and limped towards the village.
Along the way, the villagers around him saw his poor walking posture and started pointing and talking, even laughing at him from time to time, without any concealment.
It seems that as long as they do this, they can comfort themselves by saying that their life is pretty good now.
In this regard, Chen Shan also did not respond and accepted it silently.
But Chen Shan limped back home.
His son Chen An and his wife Mrs. Wu had already started eating lunch and had no intention of waiting for him at all.
When Mrs. Wu saw Chen Shan’s clothes covered in mud in the yard.
While eating, he said impatiently: "Wash yourself clean and go to the kitchen."
Hearing this, Chen Shan touched his head naively, and then walked to the well in the yard.
He took out the pancakes from the bag and his arms and carefully placed them on the relatively clean table beside the well.
Then he drew water from the well to wash the mud off his body.
The weather in spring is already cold, not to mention that the water used is from wells buried deep underground.
So much so that after cleaning, Chen Shan's teeth were chattering from the cold.
But even in this cold and hungry situation, he did not disobey Wu's words and did not dare to step into the main house.
He picked up the pancake next to him, dragged his wet body, and limped into the kitchen alone.
After simply lighting a fire in the stove, Chen Shan warmed himself by the stove.
He took out the dirty pancakes and ate them as his dinner.
As for the clean pancakes, he left them for his wife and son.
Although they don't necessarily need it.
Although Chen Shan has an intellectual disability, it doesn't mean that he really knows nothing.
What he is doing now is what his parents did for him when he was a child.
Chen Shan felt that since he was a father, he should do the same.
Although everyone in the village knows that Chen An is not actually Chen Shan’s child.
Because before Wu married him, she was already pregnant.
But Chen Shan didn't care about these, or he had no idea about them at all.
He felt that since he and Wu were married, Chen An was his child.
After a simple dinner, Chen Shan went straight to the corner of the kitchen where firewood was piled up.
I saw a relatively clean small bed placed in this position.
Chen Shan didn't think there was anything wrong with living in a dirty kitchen.
Because he has been living here in the years since his parents passed away.
In the kitchen, Chen Shan came to the head of the bed and took out a pair of cloth shoes that were almost finished from under the pillow.
These cloth shoes are very ugly and colorful. Not only are they crudely made, but you can tell at a glance that the materials used are made up of all kinds of messy rags.
However, Chen Shan was very satisfied with the semi-finished cloth shoes, so much so that when he looked at them, he smiled foolishly.
Because this is a gift prepared for my son Chen An.
It took him a whole year to weave it using many unwanted rags.
The reason why he wanted to weave such a cloth shoe.
This is because every time when he was a child, every time he went to the imperial city, his parents would patiently put on new shoes for him.
Therefore, in Chen Shan's opinion, a person cannot leave the village and go to the imperial city without wearing new shoes.
As early as a year ago, when he heard his son say that he wanted to go to the imperial city, he had been preparing new shoes for his son.
Although the new shoes have been mostly knitted, there is still a key step missing.
That is the lack of thick cloth that acts as an insole.
Chen Shan looked around and finally set his eyes on his clothes.
Then he tore off his clothes with all his strength, and under the dim light, began to weave the new pair of shoes that symbolized 'leaving'.
After an unknown amount of time, a pair of brand new cloth shoes finally appeared in Chen Shan's hands.
Under the dim light, Chen Shan held up the new pair of shoes, and the smile on his face became even happier.
Because with this pair of shoes, his son can finally go into the city.
Thinking of this, Chen Shan immediately put the shoes under the pillow and kept them well.
I plan to give it to my son tomorrow.
Although he was a fool, he clearly remembered every word his son said.
Since his son wants to go out, he will let him go even if it takes all his strength.
This is how Chen Shan expresses his emotions.
Fools are just stupid, but that doesn't mean they don't understand love...
At the same time, in a Black Lotus Sect branch in the imperial city.
"The altar master has ordered us to get some 'blood food' as soon as possible to help him recover from his injuries."
"Start with the pigs in the city. If there aren't enough, go outside the city and catch some."
"yes."
In the dark night, a large number of Black Lotus followers began to sweep across the city like ghosts seeking death.
For a time, countless families were awakened from their sleep, and then watched with their own eyes their husbands, wives, and children being captured by the Black Lotus Cult.
There was nothing they could do except cry and scream.
Some people seemed numb to this and just stared blankly at the Black Lotus Cult members arresting people indiscriminately.
In such a depressing atmosphere, the originally quiet imperial city suddenly became noisy.
Screams, cries, and laughter intertwined with each other.
Under the dark night sky, thick black fog enveloped the entire imperial city.
It was like an iron curtain that could not be opened, locking everyone in the imperial city inside.
Countless people wanted to escape from this huge cage, but they couldn't.
People in the city want to go out, but people outside the city... want to come in.
