Chapter 134: New World Begins, Staying Overnight in a Ruined Temple
"It seems that the Heavenly Dao is afraid of me."
Gu Qingyuan's little thoughts were originally born from the calamity energy and have the ability to see into people's hearts. He didn't believe that the way of heaven didn't have a similar method.
During the conversation, he looked respectful, but his mind was in turmoil. He deliberately revealed some disrespectful thoughts, but Tiandao seemed not to hear them.
"It seems that the Golden Book is still powerful."
Gu Qingyuan scanned his entire body, and only one page of the golden book seemed mysterious.
Now the world has traveled and a new world has come. The coordinates of the world in the golden book, which Gu Qingyuan named the world of gods and demons, flickered for a while, and then seemed to disappear like the coordinates of the Daxia world.
But Gu Qingyuan is different now than before. The golden pattern trembles, locking the coordinates of that world. The coordinates of the world cannot escape and turn dark.
'It seems that it will take many years before these coordinates can be used.'
Gu Qingyuan looked at it for a while and then ignored it. Even if the coordinates could be used, he would not go back for the time being. He would only use it as a retreat in times of crisis.
"If we want to go back, we must first have the strength to suppress that world."
He thought to himself that it was not a pleasant feeling to have no control over one's life and death.
Gu Qingyuan had already used the secret method he had modified and named reincarnation, and took over the existence of a dead person in this world.
The body of that person is now at Gu Qingyuan's feet. As cause and effect continue and existence is replaced, it gradually disappears without a trace. From now on, this person will not be found. All the existence of this person in other people's memories has also been replaced by Gu Qingyuan with his name.
"What kind of NTR skill is this?"
Gu Qingyuan thought about it and began to look through this person's memory.
This man's surname was Xu and his given name was Xu Xuan. He lived in Changshan County. His parents died early. He read poetry and learned some medical skills. He was going to Nanhuai County to collect debts. On the way, a heavy rain fell and he took shelter in a dilapidated temple. He caught a cold and could not treat himself, so he died. Then Gu Qingyuan came online to play for him.
'From today on, I am a native of this place, Xu Xuan! But why is the spiritual energy in this world so much worse than that of the God and Demon Realm? It is much better than that of Daxia.'
Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath, and dozens of miles of spiritual energy followed.
"I like the fact that the energy level of this world is so low. My mind was too tense in the last world, so I want to take a break in this world and see if there is any extraordinary method in this world."
Gu Qingyuan did not use his magical powers directly, for fear of alarming heaven and earth. He decided to make a decision after investigating the reality of this world.
He looked around the dilapidated temple.
The temple door was slightly open, and the red paint had fallen off, revealing the wooden core inside. Through the crack in the door, one could see the dark night scene outside.
There is a statue of a god enshrined inside. The god is wearing armor and holding a sword, with a tiger lying beneath him. He looks very majestic, but due to years of disrepair, the wooden statue is missing an arm.
The temple is dedicated to Yang Taisui, a powerful general of the previous dynasty. It is said that Yang Taisui was abandoned in the mountains when he was young and was raised by a tigress. He grew up drinking tiger milk and had strange appearances. He was adopted as an adopted son by Yang Biao, a famous general of the previous dynasty. He killed generals and captured flags, and was victorious in every battle. After his death, a temple was built to worship him.
Unfortunately, time has changed. After three hundred years, the place no longer has the former glory and prestige it once had. It has fallen into disrepair and has become a resting place for travellers.
The temple is not very big. There is a statue of a deity in the middle, and facing the statue is an offering table with an incense burner on it. There are a few extinguished incense sticks left on them, which should have been left by passers-by who sought shelter here.
At the base of the wall on the right side of the dilapidated temple, there is a small stove and brazier made of blue bricks. A few dozen steps away from the stove, there is a pile of firewood. Gods and humans live together in an orderly manner.
Gu Qingyuan looked at the wooden statue carefully.
As he was thinking, he looked into the distance, at the deep night.
Then he snapped his fingers and a spark fell into the brazier. The firewood rolled into the brazier without any wind. Flames rose and a light suddenly lit up the dark room.
He looked at the green robe on his body again and said with a smile, "It's too ostentatious. Not good." The green robe on Gu Qingyuan's body was exquisitely designed and had a bright aura. It shone faintly in the ruined temple. As he moved his mind, the aura disappeared and turned into a gray robe.
He sat in front of the brazier again, like a down-and-out scholar, staying overnight in a mountain temple, warming himself by the fire.
After a long time, the sound of human voices and horse hooves were heard.
"Stop."
Li Danian shouted.
He was originally the head of a merchant, leading a dozen brothers, traveling north and south to do business and earn money by running errands.
As we passed the mountain, it was getting dark and it had just rained heavily, so the muddy road was difficult to walk on. Now a dark cloud was drifting in from the horizon, and it was about to rain.
It wouldn't matter to these peasants getting wet in the rain, but the cargo on the mules and horses was precious and could not be sold at a good price if it got wet. More than a dozen brothers and their families depended on these cargoes for their food and drink!
Fortunately, a brother had been here before and vaguely remembered that there was a dilapidated temple that could shelter us from wind and rain, so we were able to make the journey here.
Arriving in front of the temple, the people were exhausted. Li Danian looked at the little firelight in the crack of the temple door, stopped everyone, whispered for a while, and then stepped forward and knocked on the temple door: "Excuse me sir, we are passing by here, and it was getting dark and raining, so we wanted to come in to rest, but we didn't expect there was someone inside. Please give us a convenience, sir. Sorry for disturbing us."
"It's convenient, so please open the door. This temple has no owner, so there's no question of disturbing me. I've only been here for a moment. Please come in. But don't forget to burn a stick of incense for General Huwei." Gu Qingyuan responded loudly.
"Should, should."
As Li Danian spoke, he pushed open the temple door and saw a young man with a delicate face sitting in front of a brazier.
Looking at the human figure reflected by the swaying flames on the ground, Li Danian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Excuse me."
Gu Qingyuan waved his hand.
Li Danian then ordered everyone to bring in the goods, and asked people to burn incense and offer sacrifices to the statue of the god, while he himself went close to Gu Qingyuan.
"My name is Li Danian, I am a merchant. I came to the temple in the rain, and I didn't expect to meet you," Li Danian shook the oil paper package in his hand, "It rained a little before, and we walked in the rain, and accidentally dampened the fire. Here are a few snacks, not worth much, I would like to ask you for a fire."
Gu Qingyuan pointed at the brazier and said, "You are very polite. The firewood for starting the fire is from Xu as a favor to the passers-by. Please help yourself."
"So it's Mr. Xu in person. In that case, I won't be polite." Li Danian gently put down the oil paper bag, took out a piece of wood from the brazier and turned to leave.
"The conversation is normal, and there is a human figure, so it should not be a mandrill or a wild ghost."
Li Danian breathed a sigh of relief. He had traveled far and wide and had seen a lot. He had also encountered strange things. He walked all year round, so he naturally had to take good care of the fire and not let it get lost. He just took this opportunity to test it out.
They picked up broken bricks and tiles and started a fire. The temple became much brighter. Everyone sat around the simple fire and chatted. They also used the fire to cook a pot of thick soup, which they ate with dry biscuits. They began to feel sleepy.
Leaving three people to keep watch, Li Danian could not hold on any longer and fell asleep to the sound of falling rain.
Gu Qingyuan added more firewood. There was also a bowl of broth next to the brazier. It was brought by Li Danian. Seeing that Gu Qingyuan was trying to refuse, Li Danian did not hesitate and put it aside.
At midnight, the sound of rain gradually stopped, leaving only the occasional sound of burning matches.
dong dong dong.
There's a knock on the door; a guest is arriving.
Thank you for the reward from Fanjian Hongchenke. Thank you.
