Chapter 502: Changes in the Netherworld
Chapter 502: Changes in the Netherworld
boom!
Almost at the same time when Li Yuan extinguished the incense, a bell rang suddenly in the deep and dark realm.
The sound of the bell was not loud, but it was very real, as if it exploded directly next to the ear.
Li Yuan only felt a buzzing sound in his mind, and then, a dazzling light was projected from behind him. The stone statue in the Black Whale Hall had eyes that bloomed, like a burning torch.
In just a moment, the path to the Black Whale was bright.
"It's the Great Sun Golden Scale Bell again!"
Li Yuan's heart shuddered. Has the imperial court started offering sacrifices to the temple again?
He looked up and saw that the darkness on the Black Whale Road had instantly dropped several levels. Although it was still blurry and dim, he could vaguely see it clearly.
Ancient temples, ancient pagodas, wooden houses...
After a moment of change in light and shadow, the desolate and ancient temple that Li Yuan was looking at reappeared, floating in the darkness, swallowing and spitting out like a living thing.
No matter how far away they were, Li Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He completely ignored the hundreds and thousands of strange beasts on the Black Whale Road and was completely attracted by the temple.
"This is, Bafang Temple?!"
The Mirage Dragon Belt was stretched straight around Li Yuan's waist. Looking at the temple floating in the darkness, the little female dragon was stunned and frightened.
When she passed by this place in the past and was knocked down from the ninth level of the Gale Sky, she had caught a glimpse of a corner of this ancient temple. There was no way she could be mistaken for this aura.
What shocked her even more was...
"This ancient road of yours leads to the Bafang Temple?!"
Li Yuan seemed oblivious to the little female dragon's shocked questioning. He stared at the direction of the Eight Directions Temple, and a great throbbing rose in his heart...
"This temple seems to be calling me? No, it's calling..."
Li Yuan tightened his wrist, and the Black Whale Hammer in his hand trembled slightly, as if responding to something. The throbbing came from the Black Whale Hammer.
The Bafang Temple is calling for the Black Whale Hammer, and it’s calling for it very strongly!
Li Yuan was distracted for a moment and couldn't help but raise the hammer. Fortunately, his mind was quick and he immediately put it into the weapon control space.
Woo~
Without the guidance of the Black Whale Hammer Spirit, the gaze of the stone statue behind him disappeared instantly. Li Yuan took out the incense and was not engulfed by the darkness.
And the next moment, he heard the explosion of the Great Sun Golden Scale Bell again.
But it’s more than just the sound of bells!
boom!
Zheng~
laugh!
The ringing of bells, the sound of swords, and the sound of knives!
Loud noises, regardless of distance, came from the darkness, exploding in Li Yuan's ears and heart, making his heart tremble.
hum~
Li Yuan looked up.
Without the guidance of the stone statue's light, but with the guidance of the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer, he vaguely sensed the existence of the Eight Directions Temple.
"Other Heavenly Destiny Soldiers..."
The darkness was rolling, and Li Yuan could not see. He counted in his mind and felt a chill:
"In addition to the Great Sun Golden Scale Bell, there are nine other strange noises... out of the twelve Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers, ten have sounded?"
If he had not acted decisively and put away the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer, then at this moment, all eleven black soldiers would have responded.
boom!
In the darkness, strange noises were still echoing, and even faintly responding to each other.
"Is this the sound of soldiers fighting?"
The little female dragon was still in shock. What did the appearance of the Eight Directions Temple have to do with these weapons?
"Roar!"
There seemed to be a roar coming from the darkness.
The little female dragon was terrified and warned: "Run away, it's a strange beast, it's a strange beast..."
Where do I need to be reminded?
As the beast roared, Li Yuan turned and left. He had just come in not long ago, and even without the guidance of the stone statue, he could still find the way he came.
After a few ups and downs, he had rushed into the Black Whale Hall, and the evil wind behind him disappeared instantly. The door behind the stone statue shook and returned to calm.
"Isn't it supposed to be June 6? There's still half a year left, and there's already such a big fuss?"
Approaching the door behind the stone statue, Li Yuan could still hear the trembling sound of the mysterious weapon, and among it, he heard the trembling sound of the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace.
"Something's wrong."
Li Yuan felt vaguely uneasy and decisively stopped the exploration. With a change of mind, he left the secret realm.
The sound of the mysterious weapon's vibration was still exploding in his heart.
"There is no movement in the Eight Directions Tower... As expected, although the rank is not bad, it is not the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldier."
Li Yuan opened the window and saw the Bafang Tower standing like a mountain, but there was nothing unusual about it.
"The Eight Directions Temple is calling for the mysterious soldiers..."
Li Yuan felt a little stressed. He closed the window, sat cross-legged and forced himself to concentrate. Following the traces in the dark, he sensed the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace.
hum~
hum~~
The response of the Dragon-Tiger Health Care Furnace was unexpectedly fast. With just a thought, Li Yuan saw the health care furnace spirit vibrating and humming in the darkness!
And, Long Yingchan was vaguely visible in the light of the furnace.
"Phantom Realm!"
Li Yuan could tell the environment of the health-preserving furnace at a glance.
It was almost the same as the Black Whale Road. He could vaguely see two pairs of eyes. Guided by the eyes, Long Yingchan frowned, and the shadows of a dragon and a tiger were intertwined on his body.
"The will left by the two ancestors? Master Long Dao used this to enter the Netherworld?"
Li Yuan's mind changed and he fell into the health furnace.
hum~
The health furnace vibrated and hummed. Li Yuan concentrated his mind highly. Faintly, through some kind of vibration that he could not understand yet, he "saw" the other mysterious soldiers.
First, there is a seal as big as a mountain with three colors interwoven together. Amidst the interweaving flames, a dazzling light is blooming.
After that, it's a pile.
It is shaped like a wooden stake, with desolate lines on it, seemingly illusory and unreal, as if it would disappear with a breeze. At this moment, it is also vibrating and humming.
Then, he caught a glimpse of an angry and howling green dragon in the darkness. It danced its body, emitting divine light, and its scales stood upright, making clanging sounds.
"Two-color Azure Dragon Armor, Three-Element One-Energy Pillar, Heavenly Fire Samadhi Seal..."
Li Yuan murmured in his heart.
The five major Taoist sects are of the same spirit and have deep connections with each other. They can sense each other. He can clearly see the several Taoist masters under their respective mysterious soldiers.
Just as he expected, the changes in Bafang Temple this time were much more violent than the last time!
……"roar!"
A dragon roar was heard in the darkness.
In the darkness, Long Yingchan’s face was as gloomy as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Above his head, the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace kept shaking, as if it was about to take off in the next moment.
"Ten kinds of strange noises, which two are missing?"
Long Yingchan listened attentively. He could only hear the different vibrations of the mysterious weapons, but it was difficult to distinguish them. After all, there was only one bell as easy to identify as the Dayi Jinlin Bell.
As for the others, the vibrations of swords, furnace seals, hammers, guns and sticks are more or less similar.
But at this moment, Long Yingchan had no time to think. He was highly concentrated and kept an eye on the health-preserving stove. If it moved, he would pounce on it.
Woo~
After a while, the trembling sound in the darkness subsided. Long Yingchan reached out to take the health furnace and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Eight Directions Temple is summoning mysterious soldiers..."
Long Yingchan frowned, but hearing the roar coming from the darkness, he could only suppress it temporarily. He turned around and left this secret realm.
……
Yiqi Villa, meeting room.
When Long Yingchan arrived, Fang Sanyun, Tian Shezi and Zen Master Dading had already arrived, and Zhenren Yuan Qing arrived right after him.
The five of them sat down, but they were all frowning and thinking, and fell into silence for a while.
After a moment, it was Master Yuanqing who spoke again: "There were ten types of Yi Xiang just now. It should be that two Tianyun Xuanbing did not respond to the call of the Eight Directions Temple for some reason."
Everyone knew about this and just looked at him when they heard it.
"The Netherworld is dark and unpredictable. Based on the sound alone, it is impossible to infer which two Xuanbing did not respond."
Master Yuan Qing knocked on the armrest, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart.
In this world, the only place that can trigger the abnormal movement of ten Heavenly Yun Xuan Soldiers at a time is the Bafang Temple. And the abnormal movement of the Bafang Temple does not need to be loud, it must be because of the grand sacrifice of the imperial court.
"Which Xuanbing didn't respond? Let's put this matter aside for now."
Long Yingchan coughed lightly and said:
"If all the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers had responded to the call of the Eight Directions Temple just now, what would have happened?"
"This……"
What Long Yingchan said was exactly what the people present were worried about.
"Perhaps, the Eight-Directions Temple Fair has begun."
After a brief silence, Taoist Yuan Qing spoke in a low voice: "Or perhaps, it is the Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldier who has returned to the Eight Directions Temple?"
“None of this is good.”
Zen Master Da Ding frowned, and he was more nervous than anyone else present.
The Xuanbing of these families were suppressed by the backup left by their ancestors, but their Sumeru sticks were only managed by his uncle.
If this is lost...
"No matter which one, it's related to the court."
Tian Shezi's face looked very unhappy. The moment the Qinglong Armor slipped out of his hand, he almost thought that the Xuanbing was going to be lost, and he hadn't recovered yet.
He glanced at the people present and his eyes fell on Master Yuan Qing:
"Brother Yuanqing, it seems that we have no choice but to go to the imperial capital."
Ok?
Zhenren Yuanqing and Long Yingchan looked at each other and were both a little surprised. These days, it was this old guy who had been the most obstructive.
Change your mind so quickly?
Thinking in his heart, Yuan Qing Zhenren did not express his opinion, but looked at Da Ding Zen Master:
"What do you think, Master?"
"The resonance of the mysterious soldiers is too important. If I don't watch the sacrifice, I will be uneasy."
Zen Master Dading clasped his hands together and agreed.
"Where's Brother Fang?"
Taoist Yuanqing asked again.
“You should have gone earlier!”
Fang Sanyun's attitude has always been this.
"So do I."
Without waiting for any further questions, Long Yingchan had already expressed his opinion: "In less than half a year, Bafang Temple has seen two unusual movements, each more drastic than the last. If we don't go, there's no guarantee there will be a third one..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Tianshezi to reassure the others.
Although this change came suddenly, it also led to the unification of the opinions of the five major Taoist sects. This is much more difficult than destroying the headquarters of the Evil God Cult.
"it is good!"
Yuan Qing Zhenren stood up and said:
"In this case, you can send a letter to the sect. After the arrangements are made, you can set off!"
……
hum~
The gun body shook and made a dull sound.
Qin Yun casually threw the Jiahai Purple Gold Spear to Qin Shixian, who took it with a frown. The movement just now was too sudden, and she almost dropped the gun when she opened her eyes.
"That was the Bafang Temple just now?"
Holding the purple-gold spear, Qin Shixian's face looked unhappy. He truly experienced what it meant that 'the mysterious soldiers are spiritual but ruthless'. It is extremely difficult for them to recognize their master, and they will abandon you without even saying goodbye.
"In such a short time, the imperial court's grand ceremony has reached this point? I'm afraid that the alien visitor is no ordinary person."
Qin Yun calmed down the purple-gold spear and walked out of the tower slowly. He looked at the courtyard where Li Yuan was at the bottom of the tower and frowned.
"Isn't this kid the master of the Black Whale Hammer?"
