Chapter 30 Sunlight in the Tiger Temple

Chapter 30 Sunlight in the Tiger Temple
Chen Shi looked at the big black snake that looked like a sculpture, his heart filled with awe.

The mentality and state of mind of this giant snake are far superior to those of ordinary people, reaching a height that even top cultivators cannot reach.

Grandma Sha took him and continued to go deeper into Qianyang Mountain.

"Grandma Sha, do you think there are spirits in Qianyang Mountain?"

Chen Shi asked, "If Qianyang Mountain also has a spirit, then how big would the spirit of this mountain be? And what would it look like?"

Granny Sha thought about it, shook her head and said, "Maybe there is a spirit, but I have never seen one."

They crossed a mountain stream, and by the side of the stream there was a girl washing her hair. She was the spirit of the stream, beautiful and lively, and she greeted Chen Shi and Grandma Sha.

Granny Sha gave the girl a comb. The girl was very happy and thanked them. The water in the mountain stream also flowed much slower.

They passed through a forest with many magical herbs growing there for who knows how many years. Many naked children, less than a foot tall, were running under the forest. When they saw them, they hid behind the trees and stared at them secretly.

Grandma Sha opened the flowered cloth on the basket and grabbed a handful of candies. The little babies then ran out babbling, with many heads crowded together. They stretched out their chubby, white and tender hands to ask for candies from them.

This is the mountain.

Chen Shi had seen Qianyang Mountain near Huangpo Village, where the realms of ghosts and gods were one after another, mysterious and strange.

However, the Qianyang Mountain here showed him a different side.

The magnificent mountains and rivers expand my mind.

After this trip, he felt that this world was so beautiful, and only with a broad mind could one accommodate these mountains and these things.

After a long time, they finally arrived at their destination.

An ancient and weathered temple came into Chen Shi's sight. In front of the temple was a mountain gate, half of which had collapsed.

When the two men arrived at the mountain gate, they saw broken bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, and the lintel of the mountain gate was broken and fell to one side. Chen Shi stepped forward, moved the rocks on top, shoveled away the soil, and barely made out the words "Shan Jun".

"This is... the Tiger Temple!"

Chen Shi looked around and found that the Mountain King Temple had a main hall and two side halls. The side halls had collapsed and no longer existed, but the main hall was still standing.

Towering trees are intertwined in the dilapidated courtyard, and their canopies are so huge that they just block out the temple, making it impossible for light to penetrate, so that the sun cannot shine on the temple.

Although there is no sunshine, it does not seem cold here and the temperature is very comfortable.

There is an incense burner with one leg missing under the tree. It is about ten feet long, five feet high and three feet wide. It looks like a large rectangular tripod. The burner is full of incense ash. I think it must have been very popular in the past.

There seemed to be a strange power in the air here. Chen Shi sensed it carefully, but it disappeared.

"Extraordinary power!"

He suddenly realized that this strange and unpredictable power was the extraordinary power formed by the aroma of incense. This power could condense the divine image and allow godmother and other gods in the village to possess magical powers!

The strange thing is that the extraordinary power in this ancient temple is in a free state and has not condensed.

Chen Shi sensed it carefully and discovered that the extraordinary power was emanating from the incense burner.

"In the past, the incense here was so popular that a large amount of extraordinary power was condensed in the incense burner. As a result, even after such a long time since the ancient temple fell into decline, there is still extraordinary power in the burner that has not completely dissipated. Strange, why hasn't it dissipated?" he thought to himself.

Granny Sha stepped forward and placed three incense sticks in the stove.

However, the extraordinary power formed by these three incense sticks quickly dissipated into the air.

"The extraordinary power here is too strong!" Grandma Sha looked around and exclaimed.

Chen Shi stepped into the main hall, which was also filled with extraordinary power, stronger than outside.

The dilapidated temple in the deserted mountain that Chen Shi encountered last time did not have such a strong extraordinary power.

There is also an incense burner in the hall, which is quite large and has accumulated ashes.

Chen Shi looked around and saw stone dragons coiled on the pillars of the main hall and traces of door gods on the door, but they were blurry.

The eaves are covered with celadon tiles, on which are painted some mythological stories, but it is impossible to tell what they are about.

There is a horizontal beam on the roof of the front hall, which is more than two meters long, vermilion in color, and painted with gilded dragons.

When we arrived at the main hall, we saw that the roof was shining with golden light. It was actually a golden roof with a caisson in the center. The eight trigrams were painted in the caisson and cloud patterns were on the edges.

Opposite the caisson is a shrine that is two or three meters high, extremely majestic, which shows how huge the statues enshrined in this temple were at the time.

However, the shrine is now empty and there is no statue.

The temple is empty.

"The extraordinary power here is so strong. The mountain lions that lived here must have been extremely powerful. But why is this place lost?" Chen Shi was puzzled.

Granny Sha said, "This temple, and even this mountain, did not exist originally. They appeared from the ground overnight. There was a big earthquake in Qianyang Mountain that year. Houses collapsed, trees were broken, and many people died. The next day I found a new mountain here. But at that time, I was saving people in the countryside and had no time to come and check. I came here a few times later, but didn't find any clues."

Chen Shi's heart was slightly moved. Did the Tiger Temple also suddenly grow out from the ground?

He came outside the hall and looked up at the sky. The branches and leaves of the big tree in the courtyard blocked all the sunlight.

They couldn't see the sun standing in the temple, and likewise, the sun couldn't see the temple!
It's amazing.

This temple seems to be intentionally hiding from the gaze of the true God from outer space!
"Can you practice here?" asked Granny Sha.

Chen Shi tried to activate the Three Lights Righteousness Art, and starlight came in droves, as well as sunlight and moonlight from another time and space. It was obvious that he could practice here!

Granny Sha was also very happy and said with a smile, "I feel relieved that you can practice. I let you go through an adventure yesterday, and I would be ashamed if I couldn't repay you. You practice here, and I will help you clean up." Chen Shi shook his head and said, "Granny, you can go back. I can practice and clean up at the same time."

He was cleaning the hall while activating the Three Lights Righteousness Technique.

Granny Sha saw this and said with a smile, "Then I'll go back first and bring you lunch at noon."

Chen Shi just felt very sorry and was about to tell her that she didn't need to come over at noon, but Granny Sha had already left, so he had to give up.

After working for a whole morning, Chen Shi finally cleaned the main hall. At noon, Granny Sha came to deliver food as expected. There were three dishes and a soup, which were much more delicious than the food at Old Chen's house.

Chen Shi was filled with gratitude and ate voraciously.

Granny Sha looked at him with joy, as if he were her own son.

In the afternoon, Chen Shi repaired the damaged parts of the main hall, and the main hall was barely habitable. Probably because of the canopy of the big tree, the roof of the main hall was not damaged, so there was no need for bricklayers to repair it, but some places needed to be painted.

"I'm not staying here tonight. I'll go back first and bring some whitewash tomorrow to paint the walls."

Chen Shi looked around and thought, "Those doors and windows also need to be covered with thick paper. If sunlight shines through the hall, I'm afraid this temple will be lost. The two collapsed side halls also need to be cleaned up, and the yard also needs to be tidied up."

He left the Tiger Temple and returned the same way.

On the way, he met those fat kids playing in the woods again, but as it was getting dark, they became lazy. They took root under the trees, buried themselves, and only showed their heads, looking at Chen Shi curiously.

Chen Shi met the girl by the mountain stream again. The girl was very shy and looked at him secretly.

Chen Shi climbed over a mountain, and the black snake was still coiled on the peak, like a wood carving or clay sculpture, motionless.

Chen Shi came to the big tree, greeted Grandma Zhuang, and asked for permission to pass by.

Not long after, he returned home safely. His grandfather had already prepared dinner. It was dark, and the moon slowly opened its eyes and shone on the earth.

The next day, Chen Shi went out to buy some incense, candles and snacks, put them in the book box, and went out again with the book box on his back.

He came to Gangzi Village and greeted Grandma Sha first, then went into the mountains, offered incense to Grandma Zhuang under a big tree, and burned a few incense sticks to the black snake whose body blocked the mountain road. He gave a bronze mirror to the girl by the mountain stream, took out some windmills and snacks from the book box and gave them to the fat baby in the woods.

He walked along the way and became familiar with these mysterious spirits before entering the Tiger Temple.

It took Chen Shi five days to clean the temple inside and out.

While he was working hard to clean up, the fat kids would come over and help him carry bricks and tiles, and the mountain girls would bring running water to help him wash away the dirt on the ground.

If Chen Shi forgot the time while working, at night, the huge black snake would swim to the front of the Tiger Temple and guard the temple to prevent evil spirits from harming Chen Shi.

They get along very well.

There was also a pond for releasing animals in the yard, which had also been cleaned. Chen Shi found a large turtle shell in it, like a small boat.

"I don't know how many years this turtle lived, but unfortunately it didn't survive the years."

Chen Shi cleaned the turtle shell and knocked it with his hand. It was hard, and when he hit it with his fist, a stream of light burst out, which took away his strength.

“This thing seems pretty good.”

Chen Shi dragged the tortoise shell up and put it in the main hall, thinking, "Maybe I can sell it for a good price. I'll save it first and take care of grandpa in the future, so he won't have to go out to sell talismans."

When he was cleaning the side hall, he also found a stone box in the rubble. It was square and you could see the stitching lines, but there was no way to open it.

No one knew what kind of stone this stone box was made of, but after Chen Shi smashed it a few times, it was completely undamaged, without even a trace left.

"I wonder what's hidden in the stone box? Maybe it's a treasure, or maybe someone carved the stone into the shape of a box to trick fools."

He put the stone box aside and didn't take it to heart.

Now that everything is ready, he can finally practice with peace of mind.

Chen Shi put a few sticks of incense in the incense burner, and a strange extraordinary power floated in the air. In the past few days, he did not forget to burn incense, and the extraordinary power here became more and more intense.

With his arrival, the extraordinary power here became much more active.

What puzzled Chen Shi the most was that the extraordinary power in the temple had not dissipated. Logically speaking, the extraordinary power without an owner would definitely dissipate quickly, but the extraordinary power in the temple was accumulating more and more.

During this practice, he unknowingly fell into a strange state, forgetting the movement of the sun and the moon, and forgetting the difference between day and night.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Shi woke up. After several days of tempering by Beidou, his internal organs had become as strong as steel, and his breaths were long and sustained.

The blood flowing in his body is like lead and mercury flowing in his blood vessels, and the blood contains extremely powerful energy.

The blood is like lead and mercury, and the body is like iron!

This is the sign of changing true blood as mentioned in the Three Lights and Righteousness Art!
Exchanging true blood is the first step in cultivating a holy fetus body!
After only a few days of training in the Tiger Temple, he has achieved such results. The speed is really amazing!
"what?"

Chen Shi opened his eyes wide in surprise, only to see that the hall was bright and sunny with warm sunshine, presenting a golden yet soft color!

This sunlight was the same as the sunlight he saw in the ruined temple that day, it came from another time and space!
He looked in the direction of the sunlight and saw the sun of another world.

The sun is in the east, just rising above the horizon.

He finally understood what the rising sun meant!

He looked greedily at the rising sun, feeling extremely excited.

Chen Shi suddenly had this thought: "Can I pass through this light and reach another world?"
