Taoist Master wants to live forever

Chapter 421 Dark Shadow
Wen Lianggong's face was calm and he stepped his other foot in.

In an instant, Wen Lianggong felt his body go slightly cold, and a chilly breath blew in his face, making him feel slightly chilled.

Suddenly, his hair stood on end, and his magical power began to flow spontaneously, circulating in his body. At the same time, the meridians outside his body that connected with the internal and external meridians spread invisibly around him like tentacles.

His spiritual sense still didn't sense anything. It was now ineffective, leaving only his physical eyes.

When the exploration technique fails, this kind of meridian tentacles that connect the inside and the outside, and the "big net" woven together based on the three void divine orifices outside the body, are extremely sensitive and can be regarded as an extension of one's own body. If there is any accident, it will naturally be known in advance and react in time.

In the Eight-Nine Profound Arts, these are also the key to capturing information for yourself during battle.

If one practices the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art to perfection, one can even rely on these meridian tentacles to communicate with heaven and earth at a deeper level, thereby feeling life, cause and effect, destiny, and even going deep into the ocean of cosmic energy to condense one's true self.

These meridian tentacles extending from the body are not only the Taiyi Dao fruit, but also a power to explore the world and gain enlightenment inside and outside.

After all, Tao Fruit is not a concrete thing. For some people, it is a small sword, for some, it is a pagoda, and for some, it is like Wen Lianggong, with meridian tentacles scattered all over the body, like a big net interwoven around.

After entering Xiao Leiyin Temple, the door behind him did not make the creepy creaking sound as before, but slammed shut.

Bang!
Sun Li screamed, turned around and looked at the closed door, subconsciously raised the iron rod in his hand and smashed it hard against the door.

clang!
The sound of metal clashing like a huge bell faded away, and there was no trace of the vermilion temple gate. Instead, a corner of the stick in Sun Li's hand was worn away.

“It’s terrible!”

Sun Li grabbed the temple door with both hands and screamed in pain.

Wen Lianggong just shook his head as he watched. This generation of immortals was really bad. He didn't know what kind of connections they had to succeed.

"Okay, stop crying, let's go in and take a look first. At worst, we can become brothers in the Little Leiyin Temple."

Sun Li paused in his crying and asked in confusion, "Little Leiyin Temple, we are brothers? What's the rule?"

"Nothing, I just remember there is a Human Emperor Banner, and everyone in the human race wants to enter the banner. Once they enter the banner, they will be treated equally, and they will be considered fellow Taoists and brothers, right?"

"…What nonsense! You still have time to talk about this at this hour?!"

"You know nothing. I need to relieve my emotions and calm down so that my judgment will not be affected."

While chatting with Sun Lixian, Wen Lianggong quickly scanned the environment of Xiao Leiyin Temple.

After crossing the temple gate and entering the Little Leiyin Temple, the unclear black hole quickly dissipated and the vision was quickly restored. The wall-mounted candles on the four round stone pillars on the four sides of the main hall ignited spontaneously without wind, lighting up the dim candlelight, illuminating the main hall with shadows, and the darker it was, the darker it was.

Inside this hall, there were arhats sitting on both sides, and bodhisattvas standing or sitting on both sides at the upper end. In the front center, there really was a Buddha with bare breasts, fleshy hair, and a solemn appearance sitting on a lotus, making the Buddhist seal with his hands and staring at Wen Lianggong.

The entire hall is magnificent and solemn, with Buddhist chants and golden lotuses emerging. In a way, this place even has some of the atmosphere of a sacred mountain.

It seemed as if I had really arrived at the legendary Western Paradise and the real scenery of Lingshan Mountain.

However, although these are lifelike, they are made of bronze.

However, Wen Lianggong was startled to see that these Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and even the Buddha sitting in the middle, were all looking at him. An uncontrollable chill rose from the soles of his feet up to his head.

A feeling of eerie and indifferent gaze arises spontaneously.

Malice.

The entire hall was filled with malicious gazes focused on him.

Wen Lianggong was so tense that he almost couldn't help but pick up the iron rod in his hand and smash it on the head.

Sun Li, who was standing by, had already reacted to this and had already raised the iron rod in his hand, wanting to smash it down regardless of the consequences. Wen Lianggong reached out and quickly grabbed the other person's arm.

"Wait a minute, there's something strange."

Sun Li's face was distorted, he was breathing heavily, and the iron rod in his hand was emitting a flash of black light, as if he was preparing to use a killing move.

"There's something strange about this hall, do you need to tell me?"

Wen Lianggong said: "If you smash it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble. We need to observe the situation first... These Arhats and Buddhas are not real. They are all cast in bronze. It's just that because of the superb craftsmanship, they look like the real thing."

After hearing this, Sun Li finally calmed down and looked carefully.

"It really is."

He couldn't help cursing: "I don't know who got his brains into trouble and made something like this to scare people."

Wen Lianggong walked forward to take a closer look, but did not dare to get too close. These bronze Buddha statues were extremely strange, and it seemed that they would come to life at the next moment.

This room full of arhats and bodhisattvas, plus the one Buddha statue, gave him an extremely terrifying feeling of oppression.

There is no breakdown of sanity nowadays.

This is entirely the result of his long-term training in the mythological world.

Otherwise, just by being stared at by these bronze statues, the malice emanating from them would have completely overwhelmed him.

But if you look closely, there seems to be nothing strange about it except that the candlelight flickers from time to time, causing the shadow of the bronze statue to twist and move accordingly.

"Damn, it's getting colder!"

Sun Li continued to babble on and on.

Wen Lianggong finally reacted after hearing this. The cold and gloomy atmosphere in the hall became increasingly dense, as if something was about to revive.

Even though he was practicing the Eight-Nine Profound Art and had an unparalleled body, he could still feel the cold air penetrating into his bones.

Even his body, which was forged and tempered by the infinite essence of heaven, earth and the universe, felt a little stiff.

Wen Lianggong silently activated his magic power, flowing through his limbs and bones. As the warmth rose, he finally dispelled the cold aura.

However, Sun Li was still full of energy and lively.

Before Sun Li finished scolding, Wen Lianggong's expression changed slightly and he glanced at the door behind him.

The temple door, which was originally tightly closed, was opened a crack at some point, and looking through the gap, there was only endless darkness.

A dark blue hand stretched out from the gap and was slowly pushing open the temple door.

"There's movement at the temple gate!"

Sun Li looked excited: "What are we waiting for? Once the door is open, we'll sneak out!"

"If you don't want to die, just follow me!"

After leaving behind a few words, Wen Lianggong was too lazy to pay any more attention to Sun Li. He took a step forward, and under Sun Li's shocked gaze, he stepped onto the Buddhist platforms on both sides, found an open space, and stayed with those Arhats who exuded coldness and had no compassion or warmth at all.
