Gods and Immortals

() According to his mind, Mo Xuan entered the main hall calmly, but the lampstand is gone, it doesn't mean that Wen Zhong has taken it away.There are still seven or eight lampstands in front of the statue, maybe they have just been replaced by someone.

The old man led Princess Jiang already knelt down on the ground, and a priest was about to start saying the sacrificial speech.

Mo Xuan followed behind the crowd in a low-key manner, looking at the table in front of the statue.

Right in front are two white jade lampstands, which are crystal clear and very beautiful.Secondly, there are two gold lampstands on both sides. In this era, gold is still a very rare metal. It is already a great deal to make two gold lampstands.Next, there are two silver lampstands, but there is no bronze lampstand that Mo Xuan has seen before.

"Maybe it was taken away by the cleaning attendants." Mo Xuan thought to himself, the bronze lampstands, which are found in the homes of ordinary nobles, are indeed a bit unsuitable for being placed in the sacred Nuwa Temple.

Although, thinking this way, Mo Xuan was still not reconciled.

He planned to go around behind the statue of Nuwa to find out if the lampstand was lost somewhere.

While everyone was worshiping and listening to the priest's speech, Mo Xuan quietly leaned against the inner wall of the main hall, and moved cautiously towards the inside.

The priest who read the sacrificial speech looked at Mo Xuan in surprise, but the reading of the sacrificial speech could not be interrupted, and as Mo Xuan was a nobleman, his accessories and clothing could prove that the priest had no right to such a nobleman who did not observe etiquette. Guan Wen could only stare at Mo Xuan as if he was questioning, and signaled him to abide by the etiquette.

Mo Xuan slowly walked around to the side. In fact, as long as he could see if there was a lampstand behind the statue, it was enough, and he didn't need to move too much.

But his cautious behavior still fell into the eyes of some people.

On the head of the Goddess Nuwa, above the dignified and elegant canopy of auspicious clouds, a pair of pupils turned slightly, following Mo Xuan's footsteps.

Mo Xuan finally walked around to the side of the statue, and just as he poked his head, he was about to look around, when he suddenly heard a charming smile coming from the canopy above Nuwa's head, and immediately cursed in a low voice beside his ear, breathing like blue.

"You're not too brave!"

Soft whispers sounded in Mo Xuan's ears like blowing the wind. Before Mo Xuan could turn his head, the canopy turned slightly on top of Nuwa's head, and a streamer of ruddy white light floated down, transforming into a woman's figure.

Immediately afterwards, the entire Nuwa Temple was silent, and everyone kept the posture of what was happening, froze.

Mo Xuan was also frozen, staring at the phantom body slowly solidifying.

The pink veil skirt hangs limply on the ground, and a pair of exquisite white jade feet are coiled up, sitting in emptiness.Two slender and slender legs vaguely intertwined between the gauze skirt, Mo Xuan was stunned for a while. <The bust is as proud as a bamboo shoot, and half of it reveals a large piece of crystal-clear skin like suet white jade, which is infinitely alluring.

"Have you seen enough?" Mo Xuan was awakened from the brief fascination by the lazy and charming voice.

Mo Xuan's immobilized body immediately untied following the sound, and looking at the people around him, they were still frozen there as if time had been stopped, motionless, even the incense that fluttered in the robe was frozen in the air, the scene was very strange.

The woman stretched her waist slightly, and floated cross-legged in front of Mo Xuan.

Looking at Mo Xuan, this woman's pretty face was exquisite and beautiful, and a beauty mole on her lip was revealing, which made people couldn't help but take a second look.If the saint Nu Wa is a dignified and majestic beauty, then the woman floating in the void in front of her is a seductive goblin through and through.

"Who are you?" Mo Xuan didn't dare to move for a moment.

Able to transform streams of light and freeze the surrounding time, he is not a fairy from the upper realm, but at least he is a wizard and priest who knows fairy arts.

The woman smiled lightly, lazy and charming.

Slender peach-blossom winking eyes flowed, swept Mo Xuan up and down, raised eyebrows and said lightly: "I haven't asked who you are yet, you asked me first."

"Speaking of which, what kind of bad things do you want to do while sneaking around in the Shengzu Temple?"

Mo Xuan is still not sure what the identity of this woman is, but seeing her appear on the stage, he can stop time and question himself alone, probably he can't beat her.

"Shangxian misunderstood." Mo Xuan smiled slightly, "This is the first time this junior came to pay homage to Nuwa's holy ancestor, just because he was curious and wanted to see more about what the holy ancestor's temple looks like."

"Really?" The woman's lazy eyes swept over Mo Xuan lightly, charming and arrogant.

Just as Mo Xuan was about to respond, he suddenly saw a pile of neatly stacked bronze vessels in the corner behind the woman, including tributes, which seemed to have just been replaced from the desk, and there was a bronze lampstand with its head slightly protruding .

According to Princess Jiang's guard of honor, when she came to Nuwa Temple to pay homage to the holy ancestor, she must be replaced with new, more expensive priestly utensils.Mo Xuan turned his head to look at the gold and jade lampstand, it was indeed brand new and shining, it didn't look like a utensil that had been placed for a long time.

In this way, the unremarkable bronze lampstand in the corner was probably what he was looking for.

"Great, it's still there!"

Mo Xuan was overjoyed in his heart, narrowed his eyes slightly, and thought about countermeasures.

Hearing what this woman said, it would be impossible to steal the magic weapon in the temple, and Mo Xuan didn't know who the person in front of him was. A slap to death by a fairy is not worth the loss.I don't want to make any excuses, I'm afraid I won't be able to get this lampstand today.

Mo Xuan thought about it, saw the lampstands in front of the statue, shook his head, sighed, with a helpless expression on his face, "Forget it, this junior's careful thinking, of course I can't hide it from the Shangxian."

The woman looked at Mo Xuan indifferently, waiting for him to speak.

"Actually, there are two elder brothers in my family. They were seriously ill a few years ago, and they were not cured after several years. Recently, they feared that their lives would not last long, so they brought a witch doctor to show them to them." Mo Xuan looked at them. Looking at the jade lampstand on the desk in front of the god statue, he said with embarrassment: "The witch doctor said that the god's worship utensils are the most tainted with air. Please go home and worship, it will have a miraculous effect."

"I just thought to myself, which god can be greater than the ancestor Nuwa, if you can bring home a lampstand that illuminates the holy face in front of the ancestor Nuwa, and worship it carefully every day, your brother's serious illness will be cured quickly ..."

The woman smiled lightly, "After a long time of trouble, it turned out that they came to steal the lampstand."

Mo Xuan has no answer for his righteousness, his face is tense, "For the sake of brother, I don't care about these infamy!"

"I also hope that Shangxian can give me one or two incense sticks from the Holy Ancestor Temple, so that I can go back and save my brother's life!" Mo Xuan bowed and bowed slightly, and only waited for the woman's consent, and then asked the woman directly. Bronze lampstand in the corner.

If the woman didn't know what was in the lampstand, and it was so tattered, she would definitely give it to herself.If a woman knows what is in the lampstand but refuses to give it to herself, she has to find another way.

Seeing the awe-inspiring gold bars, the woman's lazy expression was a little moved, and she sighed softly: "There are not many people in the world who value friendship like you."

"Since you value righteousness so much, then as the guardian of the holy ancestor, I should naturally give you a chance to be filial." The woman floated cross-legged, her skirt was very elegant without wind.

The woman's slender jade finger tapped lightly, and the jade lampstand flew up and floated in front of Mo Xuan. The lampstand was crystal clear, slightly emitting precious light, and exuding a sense of auspiciousness.

What Mo Xuan wanted was the bronze lampstand, which was related to the survival of the wealthy merchants in the next 20 years and the secret treasure of his own destiny, but he didn't plan to take the jade lampstand.

Of course, the woman didn't want to give it to Mo Xuan for nothing.

She lighted the lampstand and floated, and said calmly: "This jade platform is just a mortal if it does not enter the Nuwa Temple. Now that it has received the incense of the ancestor, it has been contaminated with the spirit of the ancestor. It should have a miraculous effect on curing diseases. But If you want to take something from a sage, you have to exchange it for something, and you can’t give away something that is a great virtue.”

Mo Xuan had already been mentally prepared, "What will I use to exchange the Shangxian?"

The woman looked at Mo Xuan up and down, "This jade platform is located in the middle, and it is the seated magic weapon. If you want to take it away, you have to hand over half of your lifespan."

Half life yuan?After hearing this, Mo Xuan's heart skipped a beat. What kind of fairy is this woman who just opened her mouth to the lion?

"Why?" The woman raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't it worth half your life in exchange for your brother not dying?"

"It's worth it!" Mo Xuan immediately responded with a smile, "It's only worth half of my life for the saint's thing."

If it was really his elder brother who was critically ill, let alone half his life, even if he gave it all up, Mo Xuan would never blink.But right now, the two elder brothers Boyi and Shuqi in my family are living peacefully in the capital of Guzhu, and they are definitely free from illness and disaster.

This pretense is just a trick, how can I really hand over half of my life.

Mo Xuan paused, and did not rashly ask the price of the bronze lampstand.I don't know if the Shangxian knows what is in the lampstand, and he can't reveal his intention first.

He pointed to the golden lampstand in the second row and asked: "Then this golden lampstand is not in the middle, how long does it take to replace it?"

The woman was slightly stunned, "If your elder brother is seriously ill, you should use a jade lamp stand, which has the best spiritual power."

Mo Xuan sighed slightly, shook his head and waved his hands, "I surrendered half of my life, and my elder brother recovered from his illness, who will serve as filial piety? If I die early because of this, my elder brother must have a bad conscience!"

The woman understood, pointing to the golden lampstand, "This golden lampstand is in the second place. In terms of spiritual power effect, it is naturally not as good as the magic weapon sitting on the seat. It takes one-third of its lifespan to replace it."

Hearing this, Mo Xuan still shook his head, directed the gaze of the Shangxian, and then pointed to the silver lampstand in the last row, "Excuse me, Shangxian, how long does it take to replace this silver lampstand?"

The woman was speechless, and said slowly: "This silver table is at the bottom. Although it has spiritual power, it is far inferior to the previous two. If you really want to change it, it will take one-fifth of your lifespan."

"One-fifth..." Mo Xuan frowned, and said thoughtfully: "One-fifth is not a lot. My brother is old and has no children yet. When he recovers from his illness this time, it will probably be Zhang Luo who got married. It's time."

Mo Xuan scratched his chin and frowned, "If my elder brother and I die together, who will take care of the younger generation in the family?"

"No, no!"

Seeing Mo Xuan's eloquent words, the woman had a lot of worries and was a little displeased, "The things of a saint must not be passed on lightly to outsiders. If it is stolen, it will not have the spiritual power of the ancestor if you take it out. You can only exchange it with something. Fei Shengren worked hard to be truly effective."

Mo Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but this woman's attitude was very tough.

If the stuff of a saint wants to be effective, no matter what you do, you have to pay a corresponding price.This rhetoric reminded Mo Xuan of the end of Journey to the West, the excuse Tang Monk used to learn Buddhist scriptures and make Buddha ask for personnel.

Saints should not be passed on lightly?

Mo Xuan curled his lips slightly, where would a saint ask for the lifespan of a mortal?

"Shangxian, I don't know how much life the broken lampstand in the corner is worth to me?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Mo Xuan pointed to the lampstand in the corner and asked very calmly.

The woman glanced at it, "This bronze lampstand has been in the holy temple for some time, but it's not placed in the right place, and it hasn't received much incense."

With a hook of her jade finger, the broken bronze lampstand fluttered towards her, "Although I haven't received much incense, this thing can be regarded as a magic weapon of the ancestors. As long as you have one-tenth of your lifespan, are you willing? "

Mo Xuan's heart beat wildly.

From the woman's indifferent eyes, Mo Xuan instantly caught important information.This Shangxian didn't even know what was in the bronze lampstand!

In this way, it is much easier to implement your own plan!

"I don't want to?" The woman held the lampstand in vain, "If it is broken, it will be gone. If you don't want this thing, then leave quickly, and don't try to come back to steal the magic weapon again."

"Yes, of course." Mo Xuan made a decisive decision and agreed.If the secret treasure is really in this lampstand, it is definitely not a loss to exchange [-]% of the lifespan.If this lampstand is not Wen Zhong's secret treasure, then you can find another way.

"Okay, that's it, [-]% of your lifespan will belong to me."

After all, the woman stretched out her right hand, the fingertips overflowed with light, which was dazzling.

Mo Xuan saw with his own eyes that the woman's five fingers were slowly peeling off the human skin in the stream of light, revealing furry beast claws.This claw is covered with snow-white fur, and the tip of the claw is shining with a sharp cold light, which makes it feel a little painful just to look at it.

The woman's Liu Guang's claws stretched out to the top of Mo Xuan's head, and with a slight pinch, a pale yellow light was drawn from Mo Xuan's whole body.

Mo Xuan only felt that his spirit was taken away, and he felt a little empty, but after a while, he was safe again.

At this time, in the palm of the plush paw, there was a faint yellow light, which hovered softly like flowing water.

"This is [-]% of my lifespan?" Mo Xuan stared at the yellow light in the woman's paw.

The woman stretched lazily, her seductive waist was unobstructed, "No, it's mine now. You take this lampstand, the holy ancestor's magic weapon, don't steal it again."

After finishing speaking, the woman threw the lamp stand to Mo Xuan, held Mo Xuan's life essence and flew into the air, sitting cross-legged.

"Junior, I still don't know the name of the celestial being..." Mo Xuan knew that the woman was leaving, so he hurriedly asked.Then if there is a chance to meet again, maybe I can think of a way to get this [-]% of my life back.

The woman's lazy and charming eyes swept over Mo Xuan lightly, her cherry lips parted slightly, "Qingqiu Kingdom, Su Qingsang."

Mo Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, he bowed and bowed slightly, put away the bronze lampstand and turned around without making a sound, and walked out of the palace gate.

The woman looked down at Mo Xuan's leaving back, raised Huang Mang, opened her small mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"This son is extremely talented, and with a [-]% lifespan, it is definitely a delicious delicacy." The woman smiled charmingly, and licked her lips with her small tongue.

Suddenly, the woman's complexion changed drastically, and a mouthful of silver blood spurted out.She clenched her teeth tightly, and silver blood seeped from between her teeth and dripped down her red lips.

The severe pain made the woman's delicate and beautiful face slightly deformed, a seductive face was looming, and nine tails of light flashed past behind her.

"How is it possible?!" The woman gritted her teeth and whispered, "This, how is this possible?!"
