Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 219 Entering the Temple
Following the breath of the scorpion god Igolonak, Shi Fei came to a temple.

This is a real temple, with carved eaves and antique style, standing quietly in the bustling city of Qindao, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding steampunk mechanical style. A mottled plaque hangs on the main entrance of the temple, with the three characters "Huangyun Temple" written in vigorous fonts.

Shi Fei stood in front of the temple gate and looked up at the towering eaves. There were copper bells hanging on the eaves, and the breeze blew through them, making crisp tinkling sounds.

The temple walls are covered with vines, and the blue bricks and black tiles exude a solemn atmosphere. However, this temple is also slightly weird.

Although it was a peaceful Buddhist place, he could sense a strange aura that was both present and absent. He was very familiar with that aura.

It was Hastur, the Yellow King.

"Could it be that this is not where A Ruo is hiding, but the territory of the monk from Ji Le Tian who was injured by A Ruo?" Shi Fei frowned slightly, guessing in his heart.

He originally thought that Igolonak's aura would lead him to A Ruo's hiding place, but he didn't expect to come to such a temple.

He was about to step in when he was stopped by two monks.

"Donor! This temple is a place for Buddhist practice. It is not open to pilgrims except on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month!" One of the monks was wearing a yellow robe and clasped his hands together. His tone was respectful but firm and unquestionable.

He was young, with a delicate face, but his expression was calm and composed, which was not in line with his age. The monk exuded a strange aura, neither like an ordinary monk nor an ordinary person.

To put it bluntly, it doesn’t look like a human!
Shi Fei didn't say much, just glanced at him indifferently, and then walked straight into the temple.

The two monks stood where they were, as if frozen by some invisible force, staring blankly at Shi Fei as he walked into the gate, unable to stop him.

After entering the gate, you will see the Weituo Hall.

Inside the hall is a statue of Maitreya Buddha with a big mouth that is always open. Behind Maitreya Buddha is a statue of Skanda Bodhisattva, holding a vajra, with eyes wide open and a majestic demeanor. A few incense sticks are burning in the incense burner in the hall, with green smoke rising and a faint scent of sandalwood filling the air.

But this solemn atmosphere was broken by a loud shout.

"Who is it?" The monk guarding the Weituo Hall saw Shi Fei, a stranger, and immediately shouted, with vigilance and hostility in his voice.

Seeing that Shi Fei remained silent, the monk immediately chanted a spell and waved the white bone Buddhist beads in his hand. With a strange power, he attacked Shi Fei like countless tentacles.

The white bone Buddhist beads in his hand were almost exactly the same as the ones in Prince Jing's hand before, except that Prince Jing had one hundred and eight beads in his hand, while he only had eighteen.

Shi Fei knew that his guess was correct, this was the territory of the monks from Paradise.

The monk's Buddhist beads stopped waving in front of Shi Fei. The monk's eyes were blank, his mind was filled with junk information, and he was stunned.

Shi Fei walked past him and headed straight towards the main hall.

After the Weituo Hall, there is the square in front of the main hall. On the left is the drum tower, on the right is the bell tower, and the main hall stands tall and majestic.

Several monks who had hurried over were walking out of the main hall, having apparently heard the shouts of the monks in the Weituo Hall. However, when they saw Shi Fei, they stood there like wooden sculptures, unable to move, and could only watch Shi Fei walk towards the main hall.

A pure copper gilded Happy Buddha is enshrined in the main hall. The male body is dignified and solemn, while the female body is seductive and charming. The two embrace each other, symbolizing the dual achievement of Dharma and wisdom, and the combination of them into one person, which indicates the infinite wisdom of the Dharma world.

However, between these solemn Buddha statues, Shi Fei saw a yellow broken phantom. The phantom seemed to be aware of Shi Fei's presence and trembled slightly. Shi Fei raised his hand and slapped the Buddha statue.

With a loud bang, the pure copper Buddha statue instantly broke into pieces, and the fragments flew everywhere.

A strange will descended from the sky, twisting the broken Buddha statue and gradually condensing into a strange and inexplicable monster - with a bronze body and tentacles as legs. It was the incarnation of Hastur, the King in Yellow.

"You recovered so quickly?" Shi Fei said, looking at the clone of Hastur, the King of Yellow.

Before, he told the truth about the universe to Hastur, the Yellow King, and thought that Hastur would be in chaos for hundreds of years. He did not expect that Hastur would recover so quickly.

"I... actually know that." Hastur's voice sounded like thousands of people speaking at the same time, echoing in Shi Fei's ears: "I have always had a guess."

From the moment Hastur was born, the power in his blood plunged him into an eternal struggle with Cthulhu.

Their bloodline is extremely powerful and can even be traced back to the three pillars of the universe, Yog-Sothoth, the One of All Things, and Shub-Niggurath, the Mother of All Things.

Among the many Old Ones, except for the Three Pillars and some particularly powerful beings, Hastur and Cthulhu can almost walk sideways in the universe.

However, when their bloodline power developed to the extreme, it became a cage that bound them. Therefore, Hastur and Cthulhu both wanted to devour each other to make up for their own shortcomings and break through the natural bottleneck.

They launched a galaxy-level battlefield for this, and fought for countless years. Later, they had to stop for some reason.

Hastur and Cthulhu both know more or less the truth about the dark universe.

At the center of the universe, there is a mysterious temple, which is the supreme holy place of the Old Ones and the Outer Gods.

The lifelong pursuit of countless powerful Outer Gods is to come to the center of the universe and play music outside the temple to help the sleeping gods in the temple sleep more peacefully.

Even the Outer Gods and the Old Ones would feel extremely honored to be able to play a song for the Supreme Creator.

Because, that is the meaning of life!
So, why did the Creator fall asleep? What will happen when the Creator wakes up?
Hastur had also had some guesses, but he found it extremely terrifying when he thought about it carefully, and it made him shudder!

So the question is, why does such a tiny creature like Shi Fei know the secret of the dark universe and accept it calmly!

"Why... why do you know?" Hastur asked as if millions of people were speaking at the same time.

"Because..." Shi Fei chuckled and said, "I'm your father!"

"..." Hastur was silent for a moment, as if digesting this information, and then asked: "Are you really Nag?"

The eggshell of Nag, one of the blasphemous twins, and the blasphemous energy of Abhoth, the ancestor of evil, together created Cthulhu and Hastur.

So, when Shi Fei said "I am your father", Hastur mistakenly thought that Shi Fei was the incarnation of Nag.
