The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 36

After a while, Murong Yunyao came back to her senses and stepped into the temple slowly.

The sun rose slowly, and the first ray of morning light shot into the temple, as if plating a golden light on the statues in the temple, and the fear of last night also dissipated.

Murong Yunyao looked into the temple through the light, and found that there were many people gathered under the statue in the middle.There are men and women among them, but no one is old or young, and they are all young people.

Murong Yunyao felt that this place was very strange, but she couldn't tell what was so strange.She couldn't think much anymore, looked at these people and asked: "Which of you is Anian's sister? Your sister is waiting for you in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, follow me back!"

These people looked gloomy and turned a deaf ear to Murong Yunyao's words.Murong Yunyao was a little impatient, and said softly: "This girl fought against the injustice and rescued you all. Not only are you not grateful, why are you still looking like this? I don't want to say it a second time, who is Ah Nian's sister, hurry up Go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to pick up your sister, and everyone else will go back to their homes quickly, so don't join this cult in the future!"

"Cult?" A young woman sneered a few times, stood up slowly, walked up to Murong Yunyao and said, "Demon girl, how dare you insult the Holy Cult! What does it have to do with you when we join the Holy Cult? Not only did you kill the Holy Cult The emissary of the religion who wants to dismiss us must be the incarnation of evil spirits! Kill us if you have the ability, we are willing to die for the religion, but trying to get us out of the religion is wishful thinking!"

Murong Yunyao rolled her eyes at the woman, and said unhappily: "It's really a dog who bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know a good heart! It's fine if you don't feel grateful, but you still treat me like this, if it's for the sake of Anian's pity, I won't give up. I don't care about you!"

The young woman smiled disdainfully, and said angrily: "Didn't you ask who is Anian's sister? I am! My Anian is not pitiful, it is her life, what does it have to do with you? You only practiced for a few days Wu, I thought I was a heroine, so I have to take care of everyone's business?"

"Crack!" Murong Yunyao raised her hand and slapped Sister Anian's face, turned around and walked straight to the temple gate, without turning her head, said: "I have already killed the person of the cult, whether you go or stay, or live It's death, I, Murong Yunyao, don't care about it!"

The sky is getting brighter, but the severe cold cannot be dispelled.

Murong Yunyao walked out of Town God's Temple angrily, and headed straight for Bianliang.Her brows were furrowed, her face was sullen, her feet stepped on the snow, and she made a "squeak" sound from time to time, "This group of ignorant guys deserve to be cheated, and they deserve to die!"

She lowered her head and walked forward sullenly, suddenly A Nian's pitiful appearance appeared in her mind, she couldn't help sighing, turned around and turned back to the Town God's Temple.

She walked very fast when she left, and even faster when she returned, like a gust of wind, she was outside the Town God's Temple in an instant.She wanted to enter the temple to take Anian's sister away by force, but when she heard a few low-pitched male voices coming from the temple, she quickly stopped and hid herself in the woods beside her, carefully listening to the movement inside the temple.

A majestic voice came from the temple, "Say, who is so bold that he dared to kill the envoy of the holy religion? Aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will appear and punish you?"

Murong Yunyao secretly said, "The cult must have come again, it seems that I have to trouble this girl to do it again, and teach these blind people a lesson!"

She was about to rush into the temple when she suddenly heard sister Anian's voice. She, who was extremely arrogant just now, was extremely respectful at the moment, "Master Jijiu, the person who killed the envoy of the holy religion was a little girl under 20 years old. It's Murong Yunyao."

After listening to her words, the man seemed to think for a while, and said with some doubts: "Murong Yunyao? How come I have never heard of this name before?" Then he seemed to remember something, and there was a hint of fear in his tone, "Could it be that she is the descendant of Murong Yanyun, the former emperor of Yan Kingdom? If that's the case, I'm afraid..."

Murong Yunyao snorted softly, and said with disdain in her heart, "What is Murong Yanyun, but a bandit, how can he be compared with a founding father like my father Murong Yanzhao!"

An envoy beside Jijiu said: "Master Jijiu, according to Duowen Dajijiu's instructions, this group of believers must be taken to Tongling Gorge to worship before March. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we will miss the time. If the leader blames it and even annoys the Holy Lord, let’s not say that these believers will not be able to reach the heavens, I’m afraid we will fall into the nether world forever!”

"Well, what you said is reasonable!" Jijiu said softly, and then chanted a series of weird scriptures loudly, and led the group of believers away from the dilapidated Town God's Temple, and walked slowly southwest.

Seeing this, Murong Yunyao quickly drew out her long sword. She originally wanted to jump out of the woods and kill all the cult members, but then she thought, "These believers have been confused by these gangsters, so I might as well kill them all at this moment." Erjing, I am afraid that these ignorant believers will go to Tongling Gorge on their own. The only way to save them now is to follow them to Tongling Gorge, destroy their lair in one fell swoop, and expose their true colors. These ignorant believers are relieved." She thought about following the crowd cautiously, and followed them all the way to the southwest.

That night, everyone camped at the foot of a barren mountain.

Murong Yunyao crouched behind the rocks, checking every move of the group of people at the foot of the mountain.I saw the women setting up a big pot beside the tent, adding water and firewood continuously, showing that they were lighting a fire for cooking, while the men were sitting around the sacrificial wine, listening to his sermon seriously.

This barren mountain is neither tall nor short, and with the occasional mountain wind howling past, Murong Yunyao could only hear Jijiu's words intermittently.At first she couldn't understand what Jijiu was saying at all, and after listening for a while, she slowly figured out the clues.

It turned out that this cult was called Chaos Sacred Cult, and the god they believed in was called Chaos, and was revered as the Holy Lord.They believe that the reason why people feel pain and misfortune is entirely because people's ears can hear, eyes can see, and mouth can speak. If these three things lose their functions, people will fall into nothingness and slowly return to the sky. The blissful place before the earth - the realm of chaos.

The highest position in the religion is honored as the leader, and he is the only person who can communicate directly with the leader. Below the leader, there are three big priests who are wide-eyed, multi-learned, and able to speak. The sacrificial wine governs more than a dozen people each. Those who are used for preaching are called Chuan Shen Shi, and those who are used to receive believers are called Ying Yin Shi.

If a believer is able to practice diligently, there is hope to return to the realm of chaos once, and when he returns, he will be promoted to be a messenger or a guide.A teleporter or a guide who returns to the realm of chaos three times will lose one of their functions forever and be promoted to a small sacrificial wine.If the small sacrificial wine can return to the realm of chaos six times, it will lose its two functions forever, and become the big sacrificial wine that is below one person and above ten thousand people.If the great sacrificial wine can return to the realm of chaos nine times, it will lose three functions. After the leader returns to the realm of chaos forever, he will inherit the position of leader and command thousands of believers in the religion.

Murong Yunyao listened to it for a long time, but only eight words appeared in her mind—it's a bunch of nonsense, it doesn't make sense!No matter what, she couldn't figure out why this group of boys and girls who were similar to her own age believed in such nonsense.

She listened for a while, and felt that it was really boring, so she took a breath.She barely held on for a while, but finally couldn't bear the drowsiness, and fell asleep unknowingly while lying on the rock.

In the early morning, the sky turns white.

A gust of mountain wind blew on Murong Yunyao's face with a cool feeling, and she was blown by the mountain wind so that she sneezed.Then slowly opened his eyes, stretched his waist comfortably, got up and looked down the mountain.

At this time, everyone at the foot of the mountain had already woken up, and they were doing all kinds of weird movements following Jijiu.These believers obviously just joined the religion not long ago, and their movements are very stiff. They often even face hideous pain because they can't split their legs or lower their waists, and they cry wolf howls from time to time.They seem to be practicing martial arts, but also seem to be holding some kind of weird ceremony.But no matter what it is, there is only one feeling, that is, a group of demons dancing wildly!
"Hmph!" Murong Yunyao snorted coldly, thinking, "If you keep practicing like this, I'm afraid I'll tear myself apart before reaching Tongling Gorge!"

After a long time, these people stopped.

Jijiu seemed to be quite satisfied with this group of believers, with a smile on his face, this smile was eerie and extremely ugly.It's not so much laughing as crying.The believers didn't seem to care, but Murong Yunyao almost screamed.

"Are these guys people or ghosts? People in my grandfather's Nine Nether Ghost Realm back then, wouldn't they all look like neither humans nor ghosts?" Murong Yunyao was muttering, feeling a sudden hunger in her stomach. She wanted to pick some wild fruits in the mountains, but there was the strange sound of chanting sutras from below, obviously the team was about to leave.

Murong Yunyao sighed helplessly, "A Nian, this girl must have owed you in her previous life, and she is here to suffer for it in this life!" But then she laughed again, "But this girl has loved to roam the rivers and lakes since she was a child. I met all the guys who can’t stand on the stage, this time I finally fulfilled my dream of being a hero!”

Jijiu didn't seem to find that there was a girl hidden behind the rocks, and naturally he didn't know what she was thinking. There was only one important and sacred mission in his heart, which was to bring these believers to Tongling Gorge to pay homage , his chanting gradually stopped, and he began to lead the crowd to continue slowly to the southwest.
