Chapter 567: Inside the Temple
Monk Shijie chanted a Buddhist name, his eyes fell on a man's chopped-off arm not far away, his face full of excitement. Gu Shiyi rolled his eyes at him.
"With such a big commotion, those witches should have been lured out. Let's go!"

Monk Shijie looked at the blood on the ground and the people lying on the ground wailing in pain with some reluctance, and got into the demon-subduing pestle on Gu Shiyi's waist. Gu Shiyi's figure flashed in the frenzied crowd and disappeared in an instant...

"What happened?"

In a building not far from the main hall of the small town, many wizards with various tattoos gathered. When they heard the noise outside, they immediately stood up. Only the one at the top, a big man with tattoos from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, did not change his expression. He just turned his head and looked out the window. His eyes seemed to penetrate the thick stone roof and saw what was happening in the small town.
"Alas... the big change has really come!"

The town was becoming more and more chaotic, but Gu Shiyi flashed like a ghost to the tallest building in the center of the town. She flipped her hand and took out the small glass bottle given by Grandma Lanhua. The small bottle was now filled with green light, as if it contained a firefly. Gu Shiyi looked up at the tall building!

This building...how can I describe it!

It was built entirely of green stone, with a pointed roof and small windows all over it. As Gu Shiyi looked at it, he could sense a bit of the style of the Big Goose Building from Yan'er's world. The gate of this pointed-roof hall was black lacquered, and was nearly three meters high and two meters wide. When he got closer, he saw that there were two copper rings as thick as Gu Shiyi's arms hanging on it. The thick door panels and the mottled surface revealed the heaviness and oppression of time.

Judging from the situation, it will take three or five strong men to push this door open!

Such a door was no problem for Gu Shiyi, but such a heavy wooden door would make quite a noise if pushed, so Gu Shiyi planned to enter through the small windows above.

This was easy. The city was in such a mess and no one was paying attention. Gu Shiyi, a living person, flew up out of thin air and put half of his body into the small window.

"Tsk tsk... they really look alike!"

What does it look like? It looks like a cathedral with a spire!
There were no large stained glass windows, but rather densely packed small windows. When Gu Shiyi tried to get in through one of the small windows, he got stuck as expected. Fortunately, he got stuck at two places on his body where he had the most fat, so he managed to squeeze in by sucking in some air, pulling in some air, and moving a little.

Gu Shiyi looked down at his chest and let out a breath.

"It seems... the bigger this thing is, the worse it may be!"

Gu Shiyi was suspended in mid-air, looking around the empty hall, only to find that the layout of the hall was rather strange. Along the edge of the floor of the entire hall, circular grooves half an inch deep were chiseled out at the same intervals, about as deep as a human palm. They were so regular, and seemed to have some unusual use. However, the bluestone floor in the hall was uneven and very rough. A closer look revealed that it was actually carved with a huge human face.

It was already dark at this time of the year. Countless torches were burning on the four walls, crackling. This huge face had a pair of narrow eyes, a huge nose and a mouth that took up half of the face. The corners of the mouth were slightly raised, revealing an expression that seemed to be sarcastic, mocking, and pity. Combined with the swaying light and shadow, it didn't look weird at all!
Gu Shiyi tilted his head and looked around, then released his demonic sense to patrol the surroundings, and found that the hall was dead silent, without any sign of living people.

She released the monk of ten precepts,

"Monk, look at this place...it's so weird!"

Monk Shijie looked at him and said,

"This face seems to be a trap...it must be opened in some way..."

Gu Shiyi and he looked around and found that there were no other mechanisms in this stone hall except those circular grooves. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly had an idea.
"somebody is coming!"

Gu Shiyi disappeared in a flash, while Monk Shijie turned into a black shadow and crouched down in the shadow of the torch. At this time, the noise outside stopped abruptly at the door of the hall. Then, with a creaking sound, the heavy door was pushed open from the outside.
"boom……"

The door suddenly opened, and a group of people slowly walked into the hall. Gu Shiyi, who was hiding in the dark and concealing his breath, looked down and saw a group of witches with tattoos on their bodies. Among them was the old man with a broken hand and a white beard whom he had seen before. The old man was mixed in the crowd, and everyone was led by a bald man. The bald man was very tall, and his knotty muscles were all tattooed with various patterns. It is said that such a figure should not have a big belly, but this man had a belly that looked like a ten-month pregnancy, and there was a huge mouth tattooed on the belly. The pattern was surprisingly similar to that on a human face. And from Gu Shiyi's direction, he could see that there was an eye tattooed on the top of the bald man's head!
This eye occupied the entire top of his head, and it was very lifelike, with a dark blue background, an eyeball and eyelashes, and it could even blink as the light and shadow swayed.

and many more……

Blink? He's looking at me!
Although Gu Shiyi had concealed her breath, the eyes on the top of the big-bellied man's head seemed to have sensed something. She shrank her body into the shadow of the pillar. The bald man blinked his eyes several times, but finally, when he didn't find anything suspicious, he slowly closed his eyes again... Damn it!

Gu Shiyi looked at the bald man's bare feet. There was half an inch of black hair growing on the instep.
"If the top of the head can have eyes, can the soles of the feet also have eyes?"

Gu Shiyi had a hunch that this bald man was very dangerous, and his back tensed up. But after this group of people came in, they dispersed without saying a word. There was a circular groove in front of each of them. The last wizard who came in was holding an ordinary barbarian who was struggling and shouting, with red eyes and limbs hanging down in a weird posture. It was obvious that his limbs were broken.
"boom……"

The man was thrown heavily to the ground, his limbs were broken, but his body was still twisting. His red eyes were fixed on the wizard closest to him, and he wanted to wriggle his body and open his mouth to bite him. The bald man frowned and looked at him. After a while, he said in a low voice,
"This person has been possessed by a demon and has lost his mind..."

After saying that, he raised one foot and stepped on the man's throat.

"Click..."

With a sound, the man's throat bone broke, and he immediately stopped breathing. His body twitched a few times, and then he stopped moving. Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows, but saw that the bald, big-bellied man stretched out his hand and grabbed a wisp of purple-black air from the top of the corpse's head.
"Demon energy!"

The bald, big-bellied man looked at the purple-black air lingering between his fingers, then looked at the red sun.
"Red Sun... this evil energy... seems to have been mentioned in the letter you sent back to the temple?"

Hong Ri looked respectful, then stood up and knelt,
"I have indeed seen it. Earlier... in the Giant Spirit Tribe's territory, I saw a human cultivator releasing a monster, causing several sorcerers to kill each other. Now it seems... I'm afraid that the human cultivator has already sneaked into the temple!"

"Human monk?"

The bald, big-bellied man frowned, thought for a moment and hummed,
"It seems that the chaos in this city was caused by that human cultivator..."

Then he commanded,

"Send a message to close the city gates and search all places in the city..."

He paused and looked up at the roof. There was a small vent on the pointed roof, the same size as the one Gu Shiyi came in. It was already night, and silvery moonlight shone in from the vent, hitting the face and mouth of the person on the ground. The bald man with a big belly muttered something, and everyone's eyes were cast in that direction. Gu Shiyi also looked up, but there was no movement after a long time. The bald man with a big belly and everyone else looked a little disappointed. The bald man with a big belly snorted,
"It seems... the two divine guards have been controlled by Tu Zuo. Perhaps because of this, the divine guards failed to discover the human cultivators sneaking in..."

Everyone showed dissatisfaction on their faces. The bald, big-bellied man took a look at the dead body on the ground.

"It seems that all the mortals in the city have been corrupted by monsters. If we want to invite the witch god to appear, we can only rely on our own piety!"

The expressions of the witches remained unchanged. The bald, big-bellied man was the first to sit cross-legged in front of the groove in front of him. He took out a dagger from his waist, quickly cut a cross wound on the palm of his hand, then clenched his fist and put his fist into the groove. The circular groove suddenly moved, and it actually wrapped his fist like a mouth!

Then it actually moved and started sucking mouthful by mouthful like a baby sucking milk!
Everyone followed his example, cutting their palms and stuffing them in. Gu Shiyi thought to himself,

"Tsk tsk... He is indeed a false god. He wants to suck people's blood just to meet him. If he really shows his magical powers, won't he eat a living person on the spot?"

If that's true, Monk Shijie can also do this job. At least when he eats a person, he can definitely bless that person and fulfill a small wish or something!

Just as he was thinking about it, the face on the ground moved. Its squinting eyes slightly opened, its big mouth opened, and it began to move slowly, as if it was mumbling to itself. The voice was distant and ethereal, as if it came from a faraway place. It spoke a very strange barbarian language, and Gu Shiyi did not understand a word of it.

"Ugh……"
