One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 390 The Dark Woman in the Temple
Two people in black, one man and one woman, one old and one young.

They are grandparents and grandchildren.

They would perform this ceremony because they really had no other choice.

They belonged to the Zhang family of Guangyuan Prefecture. Their ancestors could not be said to be of humble origin, because the Zhang family came from Duxia City, and Duxia City was the descendant of the disciples of Tiandu Mountain.

It is said that going back further, an ancestor of the Zhang family once entered the lower temple of Tiandu Mountain, but later no one from the Zhang family entered the Taoist temple of Tiandu Mountain to practice.

So Zhang came to Guangyuan Prefecture and first became a spiritual plant master of a noble family, and later was promoted to the spiritual leader. Later, something happened to that family and they offended an inner disciple of Tiandu Mountain.

The youngest and most talented heir of this noble family was killed in public by an inner disciple of Tiandu Mountain.

So the family naturally declined, and when it declined, the Zhang father and daughter who had a Tiandu Mountain background were naturally expelled.

However, the daughter of the father and daughter married a son of a local declining family, and then gained a firm foothold in Guangyuan Prefecture.

However, the surname of that small family became increasingly declining, and the Zhang family took its place.

Up to now, the Zhang family has produced several foundation-building cultivators.

However, turmoil broke out in Guangyuan Prefecture later on, and the Zhang family began to rise again, so several foundation-building cultivators did not have a good end.

And now, they were faced with a life-and-death situation. Zhang Xiuyuan had no choice but to perform a sect ritual he learned from Du Xiacheng.

Duxia City is populated by descendants of cultivators from Tiandu Mountain. The cultivation atmosphere in the city is very good. Even though the Zhang family had established themselves in Guangyuan Prefecture, they still bought a house in Duxia City. He also bought this ritual at a magic exchange meeting in Duxia City.

There, there are many similar ceremonies of worshiping and inviting gods, but they don't know what kind of existence the god they are worshiping is.

After all, there are too many miscellaneous ghosts and gods in the world.

However, the person who sold this ritual at the exchange meeting also swore that the existence pointed to by the ritual was extremely powerful.

He used the ritual objects collected by the Zhang family over the years to set up this ceremony of summoning the gods.

An ebony coffin that had buried nine babies required twenty-two formation flags, representing the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, with a formation diagram drawn on the ground.

The corpses of foxes, hedgehogs, snakes, weasels and gray mice were placed in front of the coffin, and the head of each corpse was facing the black coffin.

Guided by the spirituality of the five immortals.

There was an incense burner in front of the coffin, with a stick of black incense in it.

In front of the incense burner there is a sacrificial basin, in which paper money is burning.

The older one among the two people in front of the sacrificial basin was holding a page of sacrificial paper and reading it. Every time he finished reading a page, he would burn it in the flame of the sacrificial basin.

The meaning of his words seemed to disappear into nothingness along with the burning flame in the basin and the smoke from the incense burner, and then seemed to appear in the mirror. A billowing black smoke formed a vortex, and in the depths of the vortex, a mysterious black coffin was vaguely visible floating in it.

At this moment, Zhao Fuyun felt that the darkness in the room was rushing towards the black coffin like water.

As a member of this darkness, he felt as if his consciousness was leaving his body. He clearly felt his magic power flowing into the darkness along with the darkness.

At this moment, his thought moved, and a faint yellow light on his body poured into the black coffin like turbid water.

In just a moment, Zhao Fuyun felt that his consciousness had entered another space.

He felt like he was in a coffin.

At the moment he became the man in the coffin, he felt as if he had nine more clones. He discovered that there were nine clones in the coffin, nine babies, and nine strong grievances were rushing back. He could vaguely see nine blue-faced babies rushing towards him, with umbilical cords still wrapped around their bodies.

A yellow light flashed in the coffin, and there was a faint sense of majestic suppression, which suppressed the resentment that was rushing towards him.

At this moment, his will not only has the majesty of his own Taiyue Zhenshen Fa, but also the mystery that comes from this darkness.

He found that his consciousness was actually merging with the darkness, and he could actually feel a mysterious and powerful aura in the darkness.

This magical rhythm gave him a feeling of vastness, mystery and terror.

It seemed as if there was everything in it, except, of course, the lack of the 'yang' nature of the law.

His entire consciousness seemed to have sunk into a boundless ocean of darkness, and he could not even distinguish between reality and illusion. He did not know whether all this was true, and could not be sure whether the world he lived in was real.

At this time, he continued to hear the voices of those who were performing the sacrifice.

"There is an evil spirit in the Dezi Temple, living above the temple. It should have protected women giving birth, but in the name of protection, it harmed infants and used them as food sacrifices. Now the owner of the coffin has arrived, and I beg you to suppress and kill it! ..."

As soon as Zhang Xiuyuan finished speaking, he saw that the black coffin in front of him was wrapped in a cloud of black smoke and then floated up. The black coffin, which was originally shrouded in resentful and evil energy, became mysterious and terrifying at this moment. He looked at the black coffin, as if he saw the deep dark world.

He seemed to see a terrifying will in the darkness watching him.

He knelt on the ground, and the young female cultivator behind him did the same.

In his perception, the black coffin filled his heart, as if just a vibration would be able to burst his mind and soul.

He felt insignificant again. The black coffin in front of him was a huge whirlpool, and he was like a leaf that could be swallowed up by the whirlpool at any time.

Fortunately, nine babies emerged from this black coffin. The babies were all black and surrounded by smoke.

The nine babies crawled out of the coffins and then sank into nothingness. Zhao Fuyun's consciousness stretched along with these babies and stretched infinitely far away.

He felt the sensation of being carried through the void.

In the Guangyuan market in Guangyuan Prefecture, the former Chiyan Temple has now been converted into Dezi Temple.

The statue in the temple had long been replaced with an old woman in a black robe. The old woman looked kind, but there was a fierce aura between her brows. She was called the Black Woman.

After Zhou Zhao, the Changming Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, built temples and gathered demons from all over the world, the influence of the Chiyan Temple quickly declined.

Temples were built in various places. These temples were also called Tang temples. For a time, demons from all over the place were proud to enter Tang temples.

The demons and ghosts that entered the temples would gather many smaller demons and ghosts. After so many years, they actually became the dominant ones and none of the practicing families dared to interfere with them.

There were even some noble families that were exterminated by evil spirits in the temple after being convicted of crimes.

When someone in the Zhang family gave birth to a child, several of their descendants were killed by the black woman, the temple spirit of Dezi Temple. They found the lord of Guangyuan Prefecture, but the lord just said that there was no evidence, and then dragged the case and made trouble for the Zhang family, saying that they occupied other people's spiritual fields and so on.

Zhang Xiuyuan knew that he could not get justice through the Lord of the Mansion.

However, the black woman in Dezi Temple was actually a temple spirit appointed by Guangyuan Prefecture of Great Zhou. Her status was even higher than that of the Zhang family, and she held power.

So, he looked for help from other families, but other families did not agree. However, he knew that everyone was watching.

Because his background is Tiandu Mountain, and over the years, everyone has seen that a rift has appeared between the Great Zhou Dynasty and Tiandu Mountain.
