His old enemy deceives the world
Chapter 55
Under the domineering order from the irritable bird, the demon master only tensed his face for a while, and didn't say anything. He held a Buddhist scripture in his hand, looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the altar in front of the Buddha statue .
Strange to say, there were no tributes on this table, the bright yellow tablecloth was covered with dust, and the original color could hardly be seen, and some Buddhist vessels and moldy melons and fruits that should have been on it were all gone. They were scattered all over the ground, as if they were abandoned because they were not used by the Buddha statues. Only one incense burner was still standing firmly in the center, but the incense burner had been extinguished long ago.
"How is it? Lao Zhong, do you see anything?" Chu Yu also knew that he had lost his composure just now, so his tone was deliberately kind at the moment, and he couldn't help shivering when he said it.
Chong Cang approached the altar, played with the incense burner a little bit, his eyebrows were thoughtful, but he didn't speak.
Chu Yu waited anxiously, he lowered his head and stroked the blackened scale, and speculated: "If this thing is a part of the monster's body, wouldn't it be possible to use Yanghuo to drive away evil spirits?"
"Maybe." Chong Cang said noncommittally. "You can try."
That's right, you won't lose any hair if you try anyway.
Chu Yu was just afraid that what if it was a key clue, what if he went down with a flame and destroyed it?He didn't want to spend the rest of his life with Chong Lao Yao in a ruined temple to warm each other, unless Chong Lao Yao was willing to become a tree, then he could consider it.
After struggling for a long time, Chu Yu decided to try. After all, if he continued to consume things, there would be no progress, so he might as well take a risk.
Thinking of this, a green fire brewed in his throat, reflecting the flickering skin on his neck. If Yinhan and the others only conceptually identified Chu Yu as a monster, then the inhuman picture right now But the picture gave them a full visual impact, it can be said that it really made the two girls feel awe that they dare not go beyond the rules.
The cyan flame flashed past, and there was a "pop" sound in the air, and the dim temple suddenly lit up. Immediately afterwards, the black scales in Chu Yu's hands burst into flames, like a flower in the dark and cramped secret room. The green lotus blooming in full bloom attracted Yinhan and the two of them, and they couldn't help coming over to watch it.
The subtle and bright blue light shone on the faces of the three people who were staring at this scene, and there was an indescribably strange taste.Chu Yu frowned. He found that the scales had hardly changed under the calcination of Qingyan. Even with the passage of time, the range of Qingyan's pulsation gradually became smaller, and it seemed that it was about to reach the end of the day. edge.
This is simply impossible, Chu Yu was secretly surprised, his green flame is an inextinguishable fire, unless the object it is attached to is completely incinerated, otherwise it will never be extinguished first.
But this time it was probably Chu Yu's turn to taste the horse's stumble. After shaking a few times suddenly, Qing Yan finally disappeared in the silence.
Fingertips slowly slid across the surface of the scales, and Chu Yu's eyes darkened as a cool temperature came - he couldn't even raise the temperature of the scales even a little.
When he was feeling depressed, Yin Shu suddenly whispered to the side: "Is the temple darker than before...?"
Yinhan also thought so, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Is it because of the sudden light just now?"
Ordinary people's five senses are always biased by environmental influences, but Chong Cang, an old monster who has cultivated for tens of thousands of years, does not. He raised his head, looked at the skylight and said, "No, the light in this temple is indeed brighter than before. It's getting dark, the light from the window is slowly disappearing."
"What?" Chu Yu looked up when he heard the words, and he found that the already drowsy light was missing a few beams at the moment, and his heart sank immediately - the light of the entire temple depends on this skylight, if it If they lose their effectiveness, doesn't that mean that they will spend the rest of their lives in complete darkness?
Chu Yu suddenly thought of the endless darkness outside the skylight. Could this temple be like that in the end?How hopeless would it be if the darkness could not be dispelled by demonic power?Or, is this the final evolution of this dilemma?
He stared blankly at the Buddha statue, but a thought suddenly popped up in his heart - when he entered the skylight for the first time, the last thing he touched along the rope... didn't it feel like a statue made of gold and iron, cold Is it smooth?
There was a sudden chill on his back, and Chu Yu said with difficulty: "How could this be? Could it be because I burned the scales?"
Chong Cang seemed to see his nervousness, and said in a somewhat gentle tone: "Probably not, don't think too much."
Chu Yu couldn't calm down, and suddenly he had a terrible idea in his mind, that is, the darkness outside the skylight was actually a temple that had fallen into silence, and it was a mirror image of the one they were in, so when he passed through the skylight, he There will be a sense of upside down and falling.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became. Chu Yu clenched his fists unconsciously until the edge of the scales cut his skin. Then he suddenly came back to his senses and let go of his palm, but he didn't want to, but found that there was a lot of powder in his palm.
Dazed for a moment, Chu Yu took a closer look, and saw that one corner of the originally blackened scales revealed its original color, and those broken powders were the stains that were originally covered on it.
Chu Yu scraped gently with his fingernails, and a large black smudge fell off. The slightly ruby-red scales were spread out in the palm of his hand, and there were faint engravings in the center, which were characters from the demon world, and the characters were very ancient. Now, Chu Yu couldn't recognize it, but thought it looked like a word for "candle".
"Old Chong..." Chu Yu stood up suddenly, and said, "Come over here and have a look, I seem to have found something, is this a word for 'candle'?"
"That's right." Chong Cang took it over, turned the scale over again, and said, "There is also the word 'thorn' on this side."
"What does this mean?" Chu Yu asked puzzled, "Is it a person's name or...?"
"It should be a person's name, engraved on the token, or both sides, usually a taboo name, which means a joint marriage." Chong Cang said: "The candle is reversed, it should belong to the monster, and the thorn is right, it is a gift. of the giver."
"Pros and cons... Pros and cons..." Chu Yu muttered, and suddenly felt a flash of inspiration: "Aren't we on the opposite side right now, and as long as we break the game, we will return to the front? It was not dark outside the window that day. , but because we failed to find the key to break the spell, so we can't see the truth?"
"Smart." Chong Cang praised, and he looked at Chu Yu with a bit of doting, and said, "I think so too."
Chu Yu was overjoyed, and upon hearing this, he glared at him with a smile, but didn't say anything.
Yinhan suddenly felt that her eyes hurt from the flash, she interrupted their exchange of glances, and asked, "Then how can we break the spell? What is that Buddhist scripture?"
Touching the rough paper of Buddhist scriptures with his fingers, Chong Cang said with deep meaning: "It is the tribute that this 'Buddha' wants."
After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to lift the cover of the altar incense burner, and said to Chu Yu, "Put that token in."
Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally went over to put the scales in, but said a little worriedly: "What are you going to use to calcine it? I told you in advance that my green flame has no effect on it at all."
"It doesn't matter, if my guess is right, as long as it is in this incense burner, any fire can burn it." Chong Cang said in a rare soft voice. He quietly looked at the slender figure of Chu Yu under his eyes. She couldn't help but raised her hand to stroke the back of his neck.
Chu Yu was nervous, and didn't care about his contact, but Yin Han gave Chong Cang a strange look from behind, thinking that this scene, no matter how you look at it, looks like a young son who lacks encouragement and his kind old father.
The scales fell into the bronze censer with a sound of "玎珰". Chu Yu took a deep breath, green fire gathered in his throat, and spit it out into the censer.All of a sudden, the entire incense burner glowed brightly, as if all the old rust had suddenly faded away, and the body of the incense burner was completely new under the gaze of everyone. A vague shadow appeared in a trance.
Those shadows were so blurry that Chu Yu couldn't tell them apart. He could only see a pair of newlyweds in red silk cloaks. Unidentified guests around them cupped their hands to congratulate them. Flower rain fell from the sky profusely. With facial features, Chu Yu could also imagine the joy on the couple's faces, but before they had time to enter the auditorium, the entire phantom dissipated with a "bang" like fireworks.
This sound made Yinhan's two daughters' complexions suddenly change, and they pulled their hands together tightly, fearing that something terrifying would appear in the next second.
But Chong Cang was still extremely quiet, he suddenly raised the Buddhist scriptures and let it float on the green smoke, and soon, those old papers began to be heated and curled, and under the influence of the blue smoke, they turned into a Wisps of ashes.
The wisp of ashes floated up and down in the air, and finally condensed into a bright red silk, which slowly fell on the altar.
"This is... a wedding dress?" Chu Yu was slightly stunned.
As soon as the voice fell, a voice that seemed to travel through time and space suddenly sounded in the temple, echoing in the confined space:
"The believer Luo Zhu prayed to the well of living souls, only wishing to be united with the mortal Thorn and never be separated. For this reason, I am willing to give up my demon bones and blood, turn into a mortal body, and enjoy the same year of life as him from now on... Live and die together..."
The voice gradually faded away, but the shock left to the people present was not light, especially Chu Yu and Chong Cang who knew what the Soul Well was. Both of them had expressions of horror on their faces, and Chu Yu even screamed. He said: "Soul Well! This monster is actually the wisher of the Well of Soul!"
Immediately afterwards, Chu Yu lost his expression again: "Then... how could he die so miserably? If the wish on the Well of Life and Soul came into effect, he shouldn't be experiencing aging together with that mortal after a hundred years Death, is it normal for the soul to return to the dust?"
"No..." Chong Cang opened his mouth, but his throat was dry. No one knew the power of the Soul Well better than him, because "he" had personally made a wish on the Well of Soul, and "he" wanted it to bring Chu Yu back. , and now that Chu Yu is back, what is the price he paid?
Can't bloom? ...or split into two entities 'past' and 'present'?Or even... just like this wisher and Chu Yu, death will meet him in the end?
What did the Soul Well bring them?Is all this a coincidence or necessity?
The thoughts in the hearts of the two are different at the moment, but they are all mixed, but before they can think of more, a mournful howl suddenly resounds in the ears:
"Ah ah ah ah ah----"
"Chu Yu!" Chong Cang was the first to come back to his senses, and hugged Chu Yu, who was standing closest to the Buddha statue, into his arms, tapped his toes, and stepped back a few steps.
And the next moment, the Buddha statue began to melt and disintegrate, and the golden Buddha body turned into a ferocious and thick giant python. The giant python could not see the head and tail, and did not care about the people below. Breaking through the skylight, twisting and climbing outside.
"Follow it!" Chu Yu yelled as he grasped Chong Cang's lapel while shaking violently.
Chong Cang's expression froze, but he turned his attention to the panicked two people beside him, Yin Han was suddenly caught by him, and secretly called out that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, they were thrown into the shattered cavity above the temple by Chong Cang, and disappeared. The remaining two also turned into two streamers of red and green in an instant, and followed the python body closely.
After losing all karma, the temple suddenly collapsed, and the bright red silk and satin wedding dress burned and melted in the magma gushing from the surface, and finally completely turned into fragments of ashes and sparks, disappearing in the world.
Strange to say, there were no tributes on this table, the bright yellow tablecloth was covered with dust, and the original color could hardly be seen, and some Buddhist vessels and moldy melons and fruits that should have been on it were all gone. They were scattered all over the ground, as if they were abandoned because they were not used by the Buddha statues.
