Chapter 72 Water Brings Forth All Things

From this position, the main hall of Zhenwu Temple can be seen very clearly. It is still burning fiercely and the smoke is billowing.

Yesterday during the day, this was the largest Taoist temple in Jinling City. It had received many Taoist bigwigs. There were also two Taoist real people sitting in person, and many spiritual officials guarding it. Even if it was a celestial being, it would be difficult to sneak in without alarming others.

In just one day, this place has become a sea of ​​fire and ruins.

Even if you stand next to Zhenwu Lake, you can still feel the scorching heat coming from the fire. Many places where documents and files are stored are burning even more rapidly.

Although the Taoist sect has organized people to put out the fire, because it was discovered that the Zhiming Sect was spreading curses in the city, a large number of people had to be allocated to remove the curse, so the fire has not been extinguished, and the fire is extinguished from the outside to the inside. Zhenwu Lake is located in the deepest part of the entire Zhenwu Temple, and the Taoist people outside cannot come here for a while.

In this way, it gave Sikong Cuo the opportunity to sneak in with the fire.

This is the opportunity that Sikong Cuo has been waiting for, thanks to the internal fighting of the Taoist sect.

Sikong Cuo looked at the dark Zhenwu Lake, was silent for a moment, and then took out the last "gift" from his Xumi, which is also the most important "gift".

In terms of appearance, the other "gifts" are like embryos. As long as they are placed in the water, they can breed various strange fish in a very short time and start to spread curses.

The "gift" in Sikong Cuo's hand is like a piece of amber. Through the translucent crystal, you can vaguely see the shape of a baby in it.

This "gift" is the master, and the other "gifts" are slaves. Only when the master drives the slaves can the "gifts" spread all over the city be connected together to make them a whole.

Sikong Cuo held the amber in his hand, and the wind blew his clothes, and then he muttered: "When the Lord descended to the world, the sky turned into chaos, containing infinite power. When life and death were reversed, the Lord mastered the power and ruled everything."

"When the Lord descended to the world, thunder resounded through the sky, flames fell on the earth, and the scorching wind turned the living beings into corpses. The people praised the Lord who ruled the supreme power and the Lord who controlled the life and death of all things."

As Sikong Cuo chanted, the amber in his hand emitted a light that seemed to be substantial. At the same time, rolling thunder sounded above the altar, and purple lightning was like long snakes passing through the sky. Dark clouds gathered, and it seemed that a heavy rain was about to fall.

Sikong Cuo's eyes became deep, like two deep wells with no bottom, but at the deepest part, there was a raging fire, as if it was going to burn everything in the world.

At some point, there was no more heat from the scorching heat of the blazing fire, and no more scorching heat from the blazing fire. Instead, there was a bone-chilling cold, even worse than the dead of winter.

In an instant, Sikong Cuo's hands holding the amber were wrinkled, and only skin and bones were left. However, Sikong Cuo didn't care, and let his palms gradually dry up, like dead branches, and then slowly recovered, like flowers blooming and withering, life and death, withering and flourishing, in a cycle.

After a while, Sikong Cuo let go of his hands, and the amber flew up by itself, all the way to the center of the lake, and then slowly sank into the water.

Water gives birth to all things.

They put the "gift" into the water source, not only to facilitate its spread, but also to make it grow faster.

After entering the water, the crystals on the outer layer of the amber began to disintegrate, like ice and snow melting,

and the baby who was originally curled up and sleeping with his knees hugged slowly stretched out.

Sikong Cuo opened his hands, as if he wanted to embrace the huge Zhenwu Lake, and as if he was feeling the power of God with his whole body and mind.

However, the change also alarmed Pei Xiaolou who was in charge of the place.

Pei Xiaolou, who was originally directing the firefighting outside Zhenwu Temple, rose directly from the ground, swept across most of the Zhenwu Temple that had turned into a sea of ​​fire, and landed not far from Sikong Cuo.

Pei Xiaolou still held the bamboo stick in his hand, which was a treasure that was not inferior to "Cang Lei", but he did not act rashly.

Because the aura exuded by Sikong Cuo was not only at the Xiaoyao stage, but also at the Wuliang stage.

This was also reasonable. If he did not have some real skills, how could he dare to plan Jinling Mansion. Even if Jinling Mansion was empty, it was not something that a few innate people could take down. It must be the heavenly people who took action.

To be fair, Pei Xiaolou was not good at fighting, or to put it more seriously, compared with his brother Pei Xuanzhi, he was a little useless, and his essence was still a Taoist priest in the flower garden. Even compared with Lei Xiaohuan, it was a typical case of a strong woman and a weak man. Otherwise, Pei Xuanzhi would not have handed over the investigation team's affairs to his sister-in-law, probably because he was a little disappointed with this brother. The elder brother is like a father. Pei Xuanzhi arranged this marriage for Pei Xiaolou, thinking that he would have a strong clan wife to support the family in the future.

Pei Xiaolou is quite self-aware, and he doesn't think about anything. He just hangs the title of assistant to get by. He listens to his elder brother when there is something to do, and listens to his wife when there is nothing to do. The only thing he did on his own was to do business with Qinniang, and finally lost all his money. Since then, the financial power of the family has also been deprived by Lei Xiaohuan.

Of course, compared with ordinary people, Pei Xiaolou is not so useless. After so many years of being influenced by others, he also has some means and the cultivation of heaven. It's just that he can't help but feel scared when he faces the fierce monster of Zhimingjiao alone.

What is the nature of the monster of "Tianting"? Fighting a Zhenwu Temple still requires looking ahead and behind. He dares not kill this, and dares not move that, for fear of making things worse, for fear of retaliation. To put it bluntly, the people above are fighting with knives, but they all chop the knives downwards. For the level of real people, the danger is indeed not great.

What is the nature of the demons of Zhiming Cult? A mere Zhenwu temple is not in their eyes at all. What they want is the entire Jinling Mansion. The "Tianting" can kill at most a few hundred members of the Yuan family, but there are millions of lives in the city of Jinling Mansion. As for the Taoist sect's revenge, it was the Taoist sect that was beaten, and the real person was killed. The fallen Yinglong, the broken flying boat, Shangguan Jingshen's death, and the ruins of the workshop by the Biluo Lake are all clear evidence. If they were afraid of Taoism, they wouldn't do this anymore.

The difference between the two is like the difference between a petty thief and a fierce bandit. They are both secret societies. The Zhiming Cult and the Lingshan Witch Cult are particularly fierce, and most of them are desperadoes. Even though its senior leaders no longer sacrifice their wealth and lives as freely as ordinary believers, they are still very fierce and have few worries compared to the senior leaders of the Taoist sect.

A rich man wearing shoes or a barefoot desperado, not everyone has Zhang Yuelu's strong will. After all, will comes from ideas and beliefs.

As for Qi Xuansu, he has no ideas or beliefs, but he is essentially a barefoot desperado. Let alone a family, he doesn’t even have a house that truly belongs to him. He has only heard of wealth and has never seen it. He is poor and has nothing. Same thing, who is afraid of whom? So he accompanied Zhang Yuelu to the Great Baoen Temple without thinking, leaving Zhang Yuelu hesitant for a long time. This was probably one of the reasons why Qi Xuansu was favored by Zhang Yuelu. There are too many Taoist priests in today's Taoism, and there are also too many people who have no ideas and beliefs.

Sikong Cuo turned around suddenly and looked at Pei Xiaolou: "Master Pei, what a pity."

"What's a pity?" Pei Xiaolou felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Sikong made a mistake and laughed: "It's a pity that you came one step late. It's a pity that it's not another Master Pei who came. If it were another Master Pei here, then I would be a prisoner now."

Pei Xiaolou did not feel dissatisfied: "If another Master Pei was here, would you still dare to come?"

"Yes, we don't dare to come." Sikong laughed, "That's why it's a pity."

Before he finished speaking, Sikong Cuo in Pei Xiaolou's sight began to age rapidly. His figure drifted away like countless dead leaves, leaving only an outline shadow. At the same time, the surrounding scene looked like a picture that was being burned and eaten away by flames from the middle. The starting position of the scroll is the outline shadow left by Sikong Cuo. The burned edge appears burnt yellow. The dark part after being swallowed by the burning spreads quickly, like a huge mouth that is constantly growing, swallowing up Pei Xiao. Lou swallowed it.

Sikong Cuo did not kill Pei Xiaolou. Even if his level of cultivation was higher than that of Pei Xiaolou, he could not kill him with one move. He only temporarily trapped Pei Xiaolou in a temporary small world. , so that it cannot interfere with itself, that is enough.

In fact, what worries him more is Zhang Yuelu, the banished immortal who has been promoted to heaven. Even in the carefree stage, he should not be underestimated. Fortunately, Situ Xingluan volunteered to hold him back. In this matter, Situ Xingluan was relatively reliable.

Sikong Cuo took out another thing.

The Taoist sect calls it "Xuanyu", and the Zhiming Sect calls it "blessing".
