Chapter 118 Chapter 118 (Three in One) I Got You…
The sound of wailing "ah" suddenly exploded in the temple, drowning out the voices of people talking. The dozen or so people from Baotong County in the temple had relatives and lovers outside, and they all burst into tears in an instant.
In the darkness, no one knew who knelt down first, enduring the pain all over his body, grabbing the clothes of Zan Fang and the two young Taoist priests and begging, then crawling on his knees to Bai Qingqing, his face full of tears, begging them to save his life.
The young Taoist priest looked at Zan Fang for help: "Senior Brother..."
How could they possibly catch the evil Buddha when even their master and so many powerful predecessors couldn't?
It all depends on their fate...
Zan Fang bent down and reached out to the man kneeling in front of him: "Calm down, both of you, get up first..."
"How can I stay calm! My mother is outside! She is over sixty years old and can't stand this!" The man in his forties cried with wrinkles all over his face and tears streaming down his face. He grabbed Zan Fang's arm tightly with both hands and refused to get up no matter what.
Zan Fang was wounded on the forearm by the sword. He groaned in pain and took a step back.
The people kneeling at his feet rushed towards him, crying and complaining.
"My dad is the same. His legs are not good and he has to use crutches to walk. I don't know how he walked here. I just saw him fall down... Taoist priest, please save my dad!"
"I kowtow to you. You are all powerful people. Please save my daughter. I am willing to exchange my life for her!"
"Me too, me too! Take my life in exchange!"
"You are all monks! You can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
Zan Fang was surrounded by people, and the two young Taoist priests looked distressed by the crying of everyone in the room. Pu Yueling and Chen Ruihao also felt sad and didn't know what to do.
Hundreds of people fell into coma inside and outside the land temple.
That's hundreds of lives...
It would be such a pity if they all died here overnight.
Bai Qingqing sat at the edge of the crowd, watching them cry with cold eyes. Her head was swollen from their crying, and her temples on both sides of her forehead were throbbing.
She couldn't help but ask, "You are all so filial, why didn't I see you go out just now? Now you are so patient and threatening people here?"
Zan Fang was surrounded by this group of people and was forced to retreat to a corner. When he heard Bai Qingqing talking, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
He continued to retreat, making a circle along the wall and quickly walked towards Bai Qingqing, saying, "They just lost their family, so it's inevitable that they have emotions..."
The group of people kneeling on the ground saw the powerful Taoist priest run away, and heard Bai Qingqing's sarcastic words. They all knelt on the ground and turned around, facing them again and said, "In the situation just now, we would be dead if we go out!"
These people are kneeling on the ground begging for mercy but still have a tough attitude.
Bai Qingqing laughed when she heard this. She bent one leg and raised her arm, then changed her sitting position on the ground while looking outside at the sky.
It was still pitch black.
The group of people who were laid flat by Junior Brother Zan Fang lined up in more than ten rows at the temple gate. Looking at them in the darkness, they looked like a patch of black weeds.
"Little girl, we are very grateful that you guarded the temple gate just now. You protected yourself and saved all our lives. We also know that it is difficult for you to ask you for help, but who else can we ordinary people ask for help?" An old woman walked up to Bai Qingqing with tears in her eyes and begged.
"Don't listen to her nonsense! It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to save us! I don't believe that among so many people who just came, no one can save us!"
"Come on! Don't you realize that the most powerful one is this girl?" The suppressed voice was clearly heard by everyone.
The man then changed his tone and said, "Female Bodhisattva, I know you must be angry with us. I will even give you my life to make amends! Please save our relatives."
The old woman immediately added: "These are all living lives, hundreds of lives. There are only a few people in our small county. This is going to wipe out our entire family."
"It may not necessarily be a living life." Bai Qingqing frowned and looked at the black square outside the temple, then retracted her gaze and turned to the people inside the temple.
It was dimly lit and she couldn't see the faces of these people, but she could smell the stench of death.
"I can't save the dead, but I can try on the half-dead," she whispered, and asked the people in front of her, "Are you really willing to exchange your lives for theirs?"
The old woman in front of her was old and had sharp ears. She heard what she said and immediately responded, "I do! The Bodhisattva has a solution!"
The old woman's shout lifted the spirits of the entire temple, and everyone gathered around Bai Qingqing to listen to her.
The eyes of Zan Fang and the others also lit up, and they all came over.
Bai Qingqing pulled her legs together, stood up from the ground, and put her hand on the shoulder of the old man who had just stood up beside her, pushing him down and forcing him to kneel back down.
The old man had just cursed the loudest, and now he was being held down and was about to yell again. Bai Qingqing grabbed his shoulders with her five fingers and pointed them inwards, saying, "Since the one who ran away is your compassionate Buddha, then you can call him back."
"We call him back?" Everyone was talking about it. "How can we call him back?"
The people from Baotong County had just listened for a long time and had already understood it.
Even if I didn't understand it, I could see it clearly from the situation tonight.
What they worship are not real gods, but as some of the Taoist priests said, they are evil Buddhas and evil gods!
It’s impossible to care whether they live or die now!
The people who had just come down started arguing again, all talking to Bai Qingqing. Those who knew her also spoke well of her, begging her to find another way to save them.
However, Zan Fang heard some meaning from her words just now. He looked through the darkness at the altar and statues with hazy outlines. The scent of sandalwood that had just been burned was still lingering in the land temple.
He immediately reacted, his face lit up and he said, "I'll go prepare some new incense and candles. Since he thinks he's a god and has cultivated godhood, we can still use the ritual to invite him back!"
The two junior brothers of the Dian generation immediately followed: "Brother, we are going too!"
Everyone on the ground was delighted to hear this, because they had seen the Taoist priest singing and dancing to invite the land god back just now, and they had seen the whole process!
A group of people gathered in front of Zan Fang to seek help.
Bai Qingqing smiled, patted the old man's shoulders, let him go and said, "How can you get ordinary incense and candles back?"
"So what should we do?"
Zan Xiang turned around and asked his two fellow apprentices, "Do you need to prepare anything else?"
Bai Qingqing did not answer Zan Fang, but looked at the dozen people in the temple and raised her voice to make sure everyone could hear her: "Aren't you both filial and righteous? Then kneel down, everyone."
Her words were powerful.
Everyone present was confused and looked at each other in the darkness. They followed Bai Qingqing's instructions and slowly bent their knees.
Those who were already kneeling on the ground quickly turned around, faced the direction of the land god, and knelt respectfully.
Bai Qingqing pointed to the temple entrance and said, "Face the outside of the temple, put your hands together, your fingers will be candles, and your thoughts will be fire."
"Since your Buddha always answers prayers and is very effective, then kneel down before your Buddha again."
The people kneeling in the crowd looked at each other, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and watched the movements of the people around them. In the darkness, the vision was obstructed, and everyone could only see the people around them. They slowly looked at each other, squeezed together, and knelt neatly outside the temple.
The whole temple gradually became quiet.
Pu Yueling and Chen Ruihao were leaning against the wall, looking at Bao Zishi who was also unconscious in front of them. They looked at each other, tilted their heads and asked Jiang Muning beside them in a mosquito-like voice, "Should we kneel or not?"
Jiang Muning was still distracted, his eyes glued to Bai Qingqing in the center of the temple, and he didn't hear what they were saying.
Pu and Chen looked at each other again and thought that why not they also kneel down for Teacher Bao.
The two children also knelt down tentatively. When they were halfway to their knees with their four palms pressed on the ground, they suddenly felt a line of sight piercing through the darkness and falling on them like a torch.
Bai Qingqing's voice came from the center of the temple: "You won't kneel."
Bai Qingqing: "Let me reiterate, you all said that you are willing to exchange your own lives for the lives of your relatives, friends and loved ones. Now kneeling down to pray to the gods is to exchange your own lifespan for theirs. Do you understand?"
When the people kneeling on the ground heard this, many of them panicked, stood up and looked around, wanting to help others stand up.
"But you don't have many people to begin with. If there are a few less people, I can't guarantee the effect. Can I really invite your Buddha?"
Bai Qingqing leaned forward, looked at the group of people in the temple, and smiled at them, "Fortunately, there are many young people among you. Even if a few of you die, your life span should be long enough to last."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's expression changed. Now they completely understood what she said.
What is meant by "ten fingers as candles, thoughts as fire"? To put it bluntly, it means using their bodies as candles and their lifespans as fire to worship the evil gods!
Zan Fang felt that this was not possible. Life and death were determined by heaven. What was the difference between Bai Qingqing's behavior and that of the evil spirit?
He shook his head in the darkness and grabbed Bai Qingqing's arm. Just as he was about to stop her, he heard a young man in the crowd say, "Is there no other way?"
Bai Qingqing didn't turn around. She reached behind her and brushed off Zan Fang's hand that was grabbing hers. "Isn't this how you usually worship your Buddha?"
"He absorbs your faith, lifespan, desires... He fulfills your wishes. Now I just want you to do the same thing as before."
"Of course the choice is yours. I'm just telling you there is this method, but it's not certain..."
"I am willing!" The old woman interrupted her, crawled to the temple gate on her knees, kowtowed to the sky and earth outside, tears flowed down her cheeks and stained the dust on the ground, "I am willing to exchange my life for it."
"My granddaughter is still young, she has a lot of good days ahead of her! I can die now!"
She kowtowed twice more, completing three prostrations, then turned around and grabbed Bai Qingqing's legs, pleading, "Female Bodhisattva! Please make sure you succeed!"
Before Bai Qingqing could say anything, the old woman pointed at the people kneeling on the ground behind her:
"And Xiaoqing, your sister raised you all by herself. She's only a few years older than you. She was a child herself, but she still paid for your schooling and provided you with food and drink! She's your mother! You should give her your life! What are you yelling about! If you dare to run away, the entire Lijia Village will look down on you!"
"Li Wei, you are only 52 years old, you still have a lot of life to live. What's wrong with you living a few years less for your children? Do you think you can be safe if you run away now? We have all asked the evil Buddha for things. If you don't kill him today, he will come to take our lives tomorrow!"
The old woman named everyone in the crowd, and after she scolded them, more than a dozen people calmed down, knelt down obediently, and shed tears while clasping their hands in front of their chests, muttering something, praying for blessings from Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, all the gods and Buddhas in heaven, and the god of the land.
Amid low sobs, Bai Qingqing took the clean water that Zan Fang had placed on the ground and poured it around the people kneeling on the ground.
A faint spiritual energy floated up from the water. Bai Qingqing drew a huge spiritual talisman in the air and covered the head of the person at her feet: "Be quiet, calm down, and worship as you usually do. No one should stop until I tell you to stop."
"I sincerely pray in my heart that the Buddha's true body will come and save you from the sufferings of the human world..."
…
Inside the door of the land temple, people were kneeling on the ground facing the weeds outside. The sound of whispering came out from more than a dozen mouths and spread out from the land temple. Occasionally, someone would kowtow and kneel, sobbing and crying.
Bai Qingqing sat on the ground again, looking expressionlessly at the dark crowd outside the temple. The spiritual energy in her hands continuously flowed into every word that was recited, and was completely absorbed by the spiritual talismans hanging invisibly above the heads of the crowd.
Zan Fang stood beside her and watched, using the moonlight that gradually emerged from the cumulus clouds to see Bai Qingqing's face gradually turn pale. He then stood behind her soundlessly.
The other two young Taoist priests and Pu Chen did not dare to utter a word, for fear of disturbing Bai Qingqing and the devout believers who were praying devoutly.
After watching for a while, Jiang Muning leaned his head against the wall, frowned, closed his eyes and rested, feeling uneasy.
"Where did the evil Buddha go?"
〖The scope of my monitoring is limited now...〗
"Four kilometers..." Jiang Mu Ning sighed in his heart. Without points to power E01, the range it can monitor is only four kilometers, and the number of objects it can monitor at the same time is also limited.
"Let me know as soon as they come within range."
"Ning Bao...is there anything else we should do now?" E01 felt like a useless system now, so he spoke in a much lower voice, fearing that he would cause trouble for her.
Jiang Muning opened his eyes tiredly, adjusted his eyeballs to the dark light, and looked at Bai Qingqing who was a few meters away.
She sat cross-legged with her palms facing upwards on her knees, looking at something outside the temple, with half of her body leaning on Zan Fang's legs. She looked very tired, but she seemed to be aware of her gaze and gave her an indifferent look.
Jiang Muning closed his eyes immediately.
〖Bai Qingqing's body temperature is very low. Zan Fang seems to be sending her vitality. Is she injured...〗
"How should I know?" Jiang Mu Ning frowned even more tightly, thinking that Bai Qingqing might be really injured. No matter how powerful she was, she could not be more powerful than the evil Buddha fed by tens of thousands of people.
"Pay attention to the others. Bai Qingqing is here... If it doesn't work this time, we'll find another opportunity later. It's better to play it safe."
"Okay, eh! Everyone else! The elder of the Yunji Sect is back! He just entered my monitoring range!"
Jiang Muning suddenly moved away from the wall he was leaning against, stood up, and was caught off guard and met Bai Qingqing's eyes not far away again.
The moonlight was brighter than before, illuminating the small area at the temple gate with a silver glow. Bai Qingqing's thin face was immersed in the moonlight, her lips were pale, and she looked at her indifferently, her expression unclear.
"Bai Qingqing is always looking at what you are doing..." E01 spoke weakly. Noticing that Jiang Mu Ning's muscles were gradually tensing up, he shut up and stopped talking.
Bai Qingqing turned her gaze away and looked outside the temple again.
Zan Fang gently placed his hand on her shoulder and said to the outside of the door, "They are back."
"Yes, I heard it." Bai Qingqing left Zan Fang's body, straightened her thin back, turned her palms downward, and whispered, "The evil spirit is back too."
"Everyone, stop."
The buzzing sound of sobbing in the land temple suddenly stopped, and the dozen people kneeling on the ground raised their eyes with tears in their eyes, huddled up and looked outside.
The scene outside the temple was still the same. The weak evening breeze gently blew the wild grass, making the sound of the grass stalks hitting each other extremely clear.
Everyone was still searching for the evil god. Seven or eight seconds later, a local suddenly pointed outside and said, "There's a sound over there! Someone is really coming!"
The shouting of people was approaching rapidly in the northwest direction that the man was pointing, and then sounds came from the southeast, southwest, and northeast directions one after another, as if they were going to quickly surround the small land temple.
Dozens of figures shuttled quickly in the night, waving various objects in their hands. Soon a group of people filled the open space in front of the temple, forming a circle.
The center of the circle was empty. Everyone in the temple felt strange. When they looked up carefully, they found a ball of gray-yellow gas half a person's height floating in the air.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking the top of my head, and after hitting a height of about three meters several times, I could not move forward any further.
"Thank God, thank God, Dad is saved."
"Master, we can catch it now!"
"Can we all survive?"
Zan Fang knelt beside Bai Qingqing, supporting her with both hands. He looked outside and was delighted to see the situation outside. He touched the sword at his feet and answered everyone, "Seal the evil spirit in Baotong County. We will definitely remove the connection between you and it, and then you can move freely."
“That’s great, that’s great.”
"So after this is resolved, that evil spirit outside will have nothing to do with us no matter where it goes!"
"Yes." Zan Fang nodded, holding the long sword in his hand, and lowered his voice to Bai Qingqing: "You go and rest for a while, I will go out to help them."
Bai Qingqing held him back: "Do you still have energy? You must have used up all your energy a long time ago. They don't need you anymore, so take a rest."
As she spoke, her hands resting on her knees moved slightly, and her fingertips tapped her knees. After a few taps, she paused and said, "There are still so many people in the temple. Just take care of them."
"If you still have strength, go and pick up my bronze dagger. I just threw it into the air and I don't know where it fell."
Zan Fang looked outside and recalled the scene where Bai Qingqing had painted the talisman on the dagger and thrown it towards the Buddha's head in the sky, then turned around and ran away, stretching out her hand to ask him for other magic weapons.
She now calls it "my bronze dagger."
Zan Fang's lips curved slightly, he raised it for a moment and then put it down, nodded and stood up: "I'll go now."
Bai Qingqing did not stop him this time. She watched him walk out of the temple with the others who were talking to each other. A man holding a sword walked around the formation in front of the temple gate and went to look for him in the distance.
"What did Zan Fang do when he went out?" Jiang Muning asked in his heart.
〖I went out to find the bronze dagger for Bai Qingqing. Zan Fang just gave her the magic weapon.〗
"Bronze dagger..." Jiang Muning remembered that at night in the illusion, Zan Fang used a bronze dagger to break through the realm. It looked like a very powerful magic weapon.
〖He found it! As they were walking back, the Taoist priests and the Special Investigation Bureau started fighting!〗 E01 reported actively, a soft white light ball gently jumped up and down in her mind, the light was much dimmer than before. 〖Huh?〗
〖Ning Bao, be careful, this is an illusion.〗
Jiang Muning was startled, and his tired look disappeared immediately. He looked outside cautiously and moved towards the temple entrance, trying to see more clearly.
E01 called her: "The range of this illusion is not very large. Don't get too close, or you will be affected."
Dozens of people started to move fiercely towards the center of the formation. Zan Fang was halfway back with his sword in hand when he suddenly paused and stopped where he was. He quickly turned his gaze into the temple and looked at Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing was tilting her head, staring at Jiang Muning's face, as if asking her what she was doing here.
Since the other party didn't speak, Jiang Muning didn't speak either. She stood quietly and watched the battle outside the temple a few days ago. She saw the evil Buddha who was fleeing in all directions as pointed out by E01.
The gray-yellow ball of light couldn't escape the encirclement and tried its best to drill into the ground. When countless magical instruments pointed at it, it suddenly split into two and swam towards the temple gate.
Zan Fang, who was standing quietly outside the formation, picked up his sword and chased into the temple. However, the others seemed to have seen nothing and continued to change the formation and cast spells at the air.
"Brother! This is an illusion!" Zan Fang flew in front of the temple gate, shouted behind him, and threw the dagger in his hand to Bai Qingqing who was sitting in the middle of the temple.
Jiang Muning saw the gray-yellow light ball enter the temple, and he took several steps back until his back rested against the land altar. He then saw a person among the people lying on the ground in a coma suddenly stand up and run out!
Everyone in the temple looked at him with puzzled expressions, some of them still not able to react.
Chen Ruihao stretched out his hand to him: "Teacher Bao, wake up..."
Pu Yueling pressed his hand down and shook her head violently at him.
Chen Rui reacted quickly, opened his eyes wide and stopped chasing. Just as he was about to ask what to do, he saw Bai Qingqing, who was not far away, throw the dagger in her hand backhand, nailing it under Bao Zishi's feet. The people around him scattered and crawled to the side, shouting in fear: "What happened?"
"what happens?"
"This is the one that was possessed before... Could it be that he is possessed again..."
In an instant, a large space was cleared in the small land temple, and the unconscious person on the ground was dragged away by them.
Bai Qingqing threw a dagger and slowed down Bao Zishi's steps. Zan Fang, who had rushed to the door, rushed in with a sword in hand, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Bao Zishi's face, stopping three inches in front of him.
"Bao Zishi" sneered, and instead of retreating, he advanced towards the tip of his sword, forcing Zan Fang to retreat with his sword, while quickly thinking of a solution in his mind.
"Oh my God, it's the evil Buddha, the evil Buddha has possessed me again!"
"Master Zan, please kill him!"
"Our lives are in your hands! Kill him!"
"We risked our lives to save this evil spirit, so we must not let it escape!"
The temple was in chaos. Bao Zishi took a few more steps towards Zan Fang and walked to the temple gate: "I am your friend, do you want to kill me?"
Bai Qingqing got up from the ground with weak limbs and pounced in front of Zan Fang's sword in the blink of an eye. Zan Fang was so scared that he retracted his sword and saw Bai Qingqing's whole body smashed on Bao Zishi. He didn't use any strength at all and directly knocked the 1.80-meter-tall strong man to the ground.
"My friend is a big-headed ghost!"
The two men fell to the ground right next to the dagger. Bai Qingqing pinched Bao Zishi's throat with one hand, and spiritual energy flowed from her palm. She pulled up the bronze dagger on the ground with her right hand and said to Zan Fang without turning her head, "Zan Fang, wake up those people outside."
After saying that, she turned around, and the tip of the dagger quickly scratched Bao Zishi's forehead. Her lips moved quickly, and she wrote a talisman on his face with the blood from his forehead.
The two young Taoist priests of the Dian generation were stunned. It was the first time they had seen such a method of exorcism. They hesitated and didn't know whether to stay in the temple to help Bai Qingqing, or go out to help Brother Zan wake up his brothers and uncles.
While he was hesitating, Bai Qingqing's last slash of the knife came down, and a breath of air emerged from Bao Zishi's body. She slapped him back on the forehead and said to the two young Taoist priests, "Do you have a gourd?"
"Where's the Sanqing Bell?"
The two Taoists looked at each other, quickly took out the Sanqing Bell, bent over and handed it to her. Bai Qingqing took a breath and said to the two of them, "Left three, right seven, up Zhen, down Xun, shake it!"
"Oh oh," the two little Taoist priests immediately squatted in front of Baozishi's head, collected their minds, held the Sanqing bells in their hands, chanted spells and rang the bells at him.
Everyone in the temple watched the whole process in silence. Only the sound of the bells of the two young Taoist priests could be heard outside the temple. Jiang Muning leaned on the altar and watched Bai Qingqing's actions, feeling puzzled.
Although the evil Buddha struggled under her hands, it seemed that he could not break free no matter how hard he tried.
Previously, Ake brought more than a hundred people from the Jing City Xuanmen to seal the evil Buddha. Can Bai Qingqing subdue the evil Buddha by herself?
Bai Qingqing had lived in a remote and backward village for the past seventeen years. Three months ago, she was tied to the kitchen like a dog by her brother Li Yao. In just three months, her personality changed drastically and she possessed such amazing skills?
She didn't believe what Bai Qingqing said at the Bai family, that after dying once, she would have the ability to exorcise demons.
Unless this Bai Qingqing...is not the original Bai Qingqing.
"She is not from this world..."
The sound of clapping boards came from outside the temple gate, "bang bang bang" and spread into the land temple. The two little Taoist priests who were ringing the bells showed joy on their faces. They looked outside the temple and saw Zan Fang and their master entering the temple one after another.
Bai Qingqing turned around and saw an old man with a goatee. He was full of vitality and had at least reached the realm of refining spirit and returning to emptiness. He raised the palm that was pressed on Bao Zishi's forehead, formed seals with both hands, took in a ball of gray-yellow energy, and threw it to the old man with a goatee: "The temple will be the center of the formation."
"Thank you, my friend!"
The old man with a goat beard slapped the evil spirit into the board with two bangs, and slapped it on the foundation stone of the temple gate. The younger generations behind him immediately understood what their master meant without any instructions, and immediately changed their formation.
Zan Fang rushed into the temple and tried to help Bai Qingqing up: "Are you okay? How is Teacher Bao?"
"You will wake up on your own in a while." Bai Qingqing injected a stream of spiritual energy into Bao Zishi's forehead, grabbed his hands and crossed them in front of his chest. Without asking Zan Fang to help her, she let out a deep breath and stood up.
When the local people in Baotong heard what she said, they all became happy, raised their smiling faces, and asked in unison: "Are we okay now?"
"Has the evil spirit been driven away?"
"What about us? Are we still connected to the evil spirits?"
〖I succeeded in exorcising her! Ning Bao... Bai Qingqing seems to be even more powerful than the head of the Jing City Xuanmen, Qingxu. What do you mean by saying that she is not from this world? The Lord God replied to me before, she is from this world, and no bugs were found in her.〗
"No, this is definitely not the Bai Qingqing from before. I was able to be reborn even after the small world collapsed. Something must have happened to Bai Qingqing."
"Rebirth doesn't change a person's personality too much, especially not their IQ. There is no other explanation other than changing the person."
〖If there are outsiders in the small world, the monitoring system will automatically report it.〗
"What if you came in during the crash? How did the monitoring system report it? Apart from the time when we first came back and you applied to the Lord God system for a test, Bai Qingqing received a reply from the Lord God, has the Lord God system replied to any of your messages since the world was restarted?"
Jiang Muning had been thinking about this for a while. He interrupted E01's thoughts and said firmly, "There is not a single one. The main system has lost connection."
She was immersed in her conversation with E01 and did not notice what was happening in the temple. Suddenly, a shadow covered her face, blocking the moonlight coming in from outside the temple.
Jiang Muning looked up and found that Bai Qingqing had walked up to her silently without her noticing.
Her face could not be seen clearly in the backlight, but her pair of black eyes were extremely clear, like a cheetah ambushing its prey in the field, locking its eyes tightly on her prey.
Jiang Muning frowned and subconsciously wanted to step back, but behind him was the altar where the statue of the land was placed, so he couldn't take a single step back.
E01 was listening to Jiang Mu Ning's analysis of whether Bai Qingqing was an intruder from the small world, when he suddenly saw her approaching him. He felt guilty that he had been discovered, and his voice suddenly became weaker:
〖What is Bai Qingqing going to do...〗
Jiang Muning didn't know what Bai Qingqing was going to do, but she definitely didn't come here for no reason.
Bai Qingqing moved her face closer to her and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, as if she was looking at something through her eyes: "Sure enough, it really is coming from you..." The breath of heaven.
"What came out?" Jiang Muning leaned against the altar behind him, his eyes alert.
Zan Fang listened to her, grasped his sword tightly and walked closer, his eyes shot at Jiang Mu Ning: "What? Is she also possessed? You have consumed too much today, let me do it!"
Pu and Chen exclaimed "Ah?" They didn't expect that there was something else. They huddled together, wanting to cry but unable to. All the local people in the room suddenly dispersed around Jiang Mu Ning.
〖What is she going to do? She seems to be up to no good...〗
Jiang Mu Ning's heart sank slightly, and he had a bad feeling. He quickly said, "If the evil Buddha possessed Teacher Bao, he wouldn't be on me. You..."
As she was speaking, Bai Qingqing suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed something in front of her eyes. Before Jiang Muning knew what she had done, she quickly loosened her clenched hand and stretched her palm behind her head to support it. It seemed as if a warm air flowed through her scalp from the back of her head.
Jiang Muning had no idea what Bai Qingqing was doing. She looked extremely alert and was about to push her away when she heard E01 shouting in her mind: "Ning Bao!"
Jiang Muning opened his eyes wide, his brain exploded with a buzzing sound, and he put his hands on Bai Qingqing's shoulders and struggled.
The people from Baotong County who were watching were terrified: "Oh my God, the evil spirit is really on her!"
"She's running away!"
Jiang Muning felt a sharp pain in her head, as if hundreds of millions of tiny nerves were breaking in her mind. E01 kept calling her in her mind, telling her to run.
She cried in pain. Her arms, which had been trying to push away Bai Qingqing's movements, suddenly lost their strength and drooped at her sides. The feeling of separation in her mind became clearer and clearer. Jiang Muning's legs were unstable and her body was pressed against the altar. She leaned back with half of her body pressed against the cold altar.
Bai Qingqing placed her palm behind her head and reached out to Zan Fang.
Zan Fang was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled the palm-sized gourd from his waist and placed it in her palm. He saw her suddenly pull her hand away from behind Jiang Mu Ning's head, hold the red rope on the gourd tightly with both hands, chant a spell, and tie the red rope in circles.
Jiang Mu Ning's eyelashes were blurred by tears, and the severe pain in her body gradually subsided like a tide. She saw Bai Qingqing's movements through tears, and her five senses were extremely blurred due to the needle-like pain.
"This thing got in during the chaos, I'll take care of it. By the way, this gourd isn't worth much, right? Do you want me to return it to you after I use it?"
Zan Fang laughed and said, "No need, you can use it."
The tears that wetted his eyelashes gathered into beads and flowed down the corners of his eyes. His vision gradually became clear, revealing a huge statue of the land god above his head.
"101..." Jiang Muning said silently in his heart.
My mind was empty, no response.
She felt like something was missing in her brain, and she was the only one in her body at this moment.
When Pu Yueling and Chen Ruihao saw that Bai Qingqing had finished exorcising the evil spirit, they hurriedly ran up to her from the left and right, holding her arms and trying to help her up.
Jiang Mu Ning didn't move, his lips moved slightly: "E01..."
Pu Yueling didn't hear clearly: "Ningning, what did you say? How do you feel now?"
Bao Zishi, who had been unconscious on the ground for a long time, woke up while rubbing his head. Chen Ruihao saw him and said happily, "Teacher Bao is awake too! That's great! Lingzi, hold Mu Ning steady, I'll go see Teacher Bao!"
Pu Yueling's face was full of joy. She held Jiang Mu Ning steadily in her hands and nodded repeatedly. As soon as she lifted her body up, her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.
Pu Yueling's arms were caught off guard by the fall, and Zan Fang quickly grabbed Jiang Mu Ning's hand, and the two of them sat her down against the altar.
There was a sound of cars outside the temple. Forty or so Taoist priests from the Yunji Sect and the Special Investigation Bureau all sat cross-legged on the bare grass and chanted. Zan Fang let go of Jiang Mu Ning's arm and asked, "Are there any other people coming?"
"Others?" Bai Qingqing put the gourd in her palm and looked outside. She put her hands behind her back and flicked her fingertips. "These are two reinforcements. Taoist Zan, save your energy."
Zan Fang: "I'll go out and take a look."
"Yeah." Bai Qingqing nodded.
Feeling some movement behind her, she turned around and saw Jiang Mu Ning frowning tightly, enduring the pain on his face and tremblingly raising his hand, trying to touch the gourd in her palm behind her back.
Bai Qingqing just avoided it when she turned around, squatted down beside her, and said to Pu Yueling: "You go see Teacher Bao, I will take care of her."
Bai Qingqing and Jiang Muning were sisters. Even though Jiang Muning had returned to the Jiang family, their relationship was closer than hers.
Pu Yueling nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll go see Teacher Bao."
As soon as she left, Bai Qingqing squatted down again, reached out her hand, untied the microphone clipped on Jiang Mu Ning's collar, put it under her feet, and swayed her body forward to her ears: "I have felt that something is wrong with you for a long time, and I thought it was because you are the daughter of the Heavenly Dao. It turns out that there is really something wrong with you."
Bai Qingqing's suppressed voice fell on Jiang Muning's ear, and he was shocked. Even though E01 had been taken out of his body by her, he still found it hard to accept that she could actually sense the existence of the system.
In just a moment, she immediately remembered the way Bai Qingqing had looked at her frequently in the past few days.
She looked at herself meaningfully several times, without saying anything or doing anything, but it happened to be when E01 was talking to her!
They had stared at each other three times before at the Bai family, and her cold eyes even scared E01.
She could really feel...
"Amazing, isn't it? No matter what it is, as long as it exists, there must be traces of its existence. Its aura is very similar to the Heavenly Dao. If the difference was greater, I should be able to catch it earlier."
"You don't know what it is, you will regret it." Jiang Mu Ning said in a trembling voice, lowering his eyes to look at the wheat on her collar.
"You knew clearly that she was not an evil Buddha, but you lied to everyone that it was an evil Buddha who possessed me and snatched away the amulet that my mother had prayed for me..."
Bai Qingqing chuckled, moved closer to her, pulled off the microphone from her collar, and said in a louder voice: "Don't look at it, my microphone is broken a long time ago."
"you!"
Everyone around looked at him, and Jiang Mu Ning stopped talking. He felt pain and anger, gritted his teeth and shed two clear tears, his whole body shaking with anger.
The pain of unplugging the system spread to her limbs and bones. Jiang Mu Ning's head was buzzing and swollen. She couldn't think calmly at this moment. She just felt panic in her heart and was isolated and helpless.
The sound of cars outside the temple stopped, and more than a dozen car lights shone on the temple entrance, making the dark and blurry small land temple outside as bright as day.
A familiar figure in a suit walked towards the car lights, holding a string of Buddhist beads in one of his hands.
Jiang Muning's tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he couldn't help crying a few times. With trembling lips, he looked up at the man who entered the temple.
"Where's Jiang Mu Ning?"
The locals in the temple saw that reinforcements had arrived. When they heard the leading man asking questions, those who knew Jiang Mu Ning immediately pulled everyone out of the way and pointed to the statue of the land god: "Over there!"
The man nodded gently, and crossed the temple in three or two steps with his long legs in trousers. He walked to Jiang Mu Ning and squatted down. His handsome face was blurred in the dim night. Only his high nose bridge and a pair of distant and unfamiliar eyes under his deep eye sockets could be vaguely seen: "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Muning burst into tears, threw himself into Ji Ke's arms, and held him tightly.
Ji Ke's body froze in place. He looked at the person in his arms with a puzzled expression. His handsome brows frowned, and he felt his heart ache for no reason.
He suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and looked at Bai Qingqing beside him. After recognizing her, he asked in a low voice, "Miss Bai, what happened?"
The half of his face that he turned around was reflected in the bright color, making it clear to see.
Bai Qingqing stood up and quickly took two steps back. She looked at the strange man, then at the large group of people following him. Her chest rose and fell violently as she suddenly realized something.
[The plot of Ji Ke saving Jiang Mu Ning has been moved forward...]
[Yes, when Jiang Mu Ning and the evil god first fought, Zan Fang saved her with her own life. She herself was also injured. When she was on the verge of death, Ji Ke brought people to rescue her...]
The cumulus clouds dissipated, the moon was bright and the air was clear.
The bright moonlight mixed with the dazzling car lights, and the breath of heaven also pressed down heavily from the sky.
Seeing that she was behaving strangely, Ji Ke turned his head back and continued to ask about Jiang Mu Ning's situation.
Bai Qingqing resisted the urge to hug Ji Ke, tightly grasped the gourd in her hand, and tried her best to avert her longing gaze from him. She clenched her palms and took a step back.
The hard object in her palm suddenly became empty, and the palm-sized gourd shattered in her palm. The wisp of Heavenly Dao that was grabbed from Jiang Mu Ning's body turned around and tried to escape. Bai Qingqing was about to close the broken gourd and seal it with the talisman when a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her and grabbed her wrist.
The powerful vitality sealed the ray of heavenly way in just one encounter, and it shrank back into the gourd in the crack.
Bai Qingqing raised her eyes along the red string on her wrist, looking at the face in front of her that looked about 50% like Ji Ke, and recalled the description in the book.
There is a red rope on his right wrist, and he is able to use such means. He is from the Ji family, who is about the same age as Ji Ke and whom he calls uncle... Ji Kui.
"Miss Bai, stand still."
