One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 391 Nine Infants Carrying the Coffin
The temple spirit of Dezi Temple once had some fame outside Guangyuan Prefecture and was worshipped by some people, calling it the guardian deity of the family and the fertility-giving goddess.

But he was also called the Black Woman by some people. The reason for this name was that some people had seen Him entering and leaving other people's homes as a woman in a black robe, and it also referred to His temperament.

It’s just that it’s not easy to see Him, and anyone who sees Him will become seriously ill.

This black woman is both good and evil. If people who worship her can provide sacrifices, they can drive her to do things.

If someone who worships him angers him, he will retaliate. He once devoured the souls of an entire family of his worshipper.

Despite his evil nature and unpredictable moods, there are still people who worship him.

Because He is indeed very powerful and active, He will appear as long as someone offers sacrifices and calls upon Him.

It is easy to activate and active, and the ritual offerings required for activation are not complicated, only a baby with a still-spirited body is needed.

Then they built a temple and took demons and ghosts into it. The black woman was the first to come. She won the competition among all the demons and ghosts and thus gained the qualification to enter the temple.

Some people said that he had some kind of relationship with the new lord of the palace, while others said that he was raised by the lord of the palace.

When the Dezi Temple was being renovated, people in the market saw countless resentful spirits of infants appear and rush towards the Chiyan Temple.

There were also monsters that brought filthy things into the temple and polluted the statues. After these monsters rushed into the temple, invisible flames began to burn in the temple, burning the monsters that rushed in. However, in the end, there was no one to preside over the Chiyan Temple.

Three days later, the bright red feeling and pure yang state in the Red Flame Temple dissipated.

Seeing this scene, everyone realized how unique the temple presided over by Zhu Ke was. He had been away for so many years, and there had not been a permanent temple keeper. Some only stayed here for a while and then left. But even so, at this moment, the Chiyan Temple had the ability to resist and purify demons and ghosts.

Back then, Zhu Ke was just a cultivator who was building his foundation, and this place was considered his temple. However, the temple he left behind could withstand the attacks of demons and ghosts for three days and three nights after so many years, which shows how extraordinary this temple is.

They didn't know that Zhao Fuyun had once offered sacrifices to the magic lamp in this temple in the past, and the fire spirit he left here was also integrated into the temple's restrictions.

After the black woman took over the temple, she performed a grand sacrifice to completely dispel the anger in the temple. From then on, the temple became gloomy and eerie.

Since then, Guangyuan Market has ceased to be so prosperous. People here often encounter ghosts at night, and even practitioners may be possessed by ghosts.

The independent cultivators outside the city were even less willing to bring their goods here to sell, and slowly, this market was no longer as prosperous as it once was.

However, it was not completely dark in the Dezi Temple. There were lights on, but the flames of the lights were faint green. They were Yinlin lamps, or ghost lights.

There was a man whose descendants were harmed by the black woman. He broke into the temple and wanted to destroy the statue. However, after rushing in, the Yin-Scale Lamp placed in front of the statue seemed to be blown by an invisible person, and in an instant a Yin-Scale fire surged up and pounced on his body.

The monk turned around and fled from Dezi Temple, but after he ran out, his flesh and blood had been burned dry.

Someone outside the temple saw through his spiritual eyes that a woman in the dark Dezi Temple blew a breath, blowing up the Yin-Scale Lamp and igniting a Yin-Scale fire.

The person who rushed into the temple was a Purple Mansion cultivator. It can be seen that the Purple Mansion cultivator could do nothing to the other party here.

Some people once wanted to ask Tiandu Mountain to do justice. After all, Tiandu Mountain had helped the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty to implement the "Daozi New Deal", and it was obvious that it wanted to intervene in the world.

However, when everyone found the dean of Daozi Academy, he had no intention of intervening. He was only focused on teaching the students of Daozi Academy, and he didn't care about what was happening outside. He also repeatedly told the students of Daozi Academy not to get involved in the affairs of the court. Then, not long after, it was reported that there was a rift between Tiandu Mountain and the royal family of Da Zhou. It was said that in the capital, the royal family of Da Zhou and the national teacher were at loggerheads.

You have to know that when Master Feng Lei went to the capital, he broke off with the original owner of Tiandu Mountain. He only wanted to support the royal family and help the royal family of Da Zhou get rid of the master of Luoxian Temple.

However, no one expected that they would break with the Zhou royal family so quickly.

However, the "policy of letting demons and ghosts enter the temple" launched by Emperor Changming made the cultivators of the world understand why there was a rift between Master Fenglei and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This time, all the noble families and sects expressed their opposition, but the ones that shouted the loudest suddenly fell silent afterwards.

Tiandu Mountain did not make a sound either. It seemed as if it was isolated from the rest of the world and did not care about the changes in the world.

Some people say that there have always been problems inside Tiandu Mountain because there are too many secrets hidden in Tiandu Mountain.

So over the years, everyone has a saying that the sunshine in the Great Zhou is rapidly retreating, and darkness is about to descend upon this land.

Demons and ghosts will once again become the masters of this land.

The rule of the Zhou royal family over this land was originally relatively loose, and now it has become even looser. However, after the establishment of this temple, the local families began to fear it again.

In the Guangyuan market at night, although it is not as brightly lit as in the past and it is now dark everywhere, there are still clusters of lights, but the atmosphere is much worse.

Suddenly, many people heard a cry mixed with the laughter of children.

The crying is scary, and the laughing is even more terrifying.

The crying and laughing sounds, which seemed to be there and not there but went straight into people's hearts, startled them. Even those who were in a state of meditation shuddered and then woke up. Some people were still sleeping, and their originally peaceful dreams quickly evolved, as if they saw a horrible baby ghost crawling from the door to their beds.

So they woke up in shock, got up one by one, and opened the windows, but saw nothing. However, the experienced monks immediately realized that a terrifying existence was passing by nearby, and the Dharma emanating from its body affected them.

However, some people with high cultivation levels who lived close to Dezi Temple actually saw nine infant ghosts carrying a black coffin into Dezi Temple.

Soon, everyone heard a shrill voice.

"Who, who dares to break into my temple?" This was the voice of the black woman.

She stood there, holding the Yin-Scale Lamp in her hand, and her figure was like a shadow.

She does not have a physical body, but a Yin body, so She has always loved to devour spirits, especially the spirits of babies who have just been born or are about to be born, in order to strengthen her Yin body in this way.

After obtaining this deity, His Yin body became even stronger. Originally it was just a faint shadow, but now it has more colorful colors, such as His eyes, His hair, face, and clothes.

She had a black cloth wrapped around her head, her face was pale, her eyes glowed green, and her clothes were made of black earth cloth with strange patterns.

But she stood there, as if in nothingness, holding a lamp with Yin fire in her hand.
