As a father, I just want to watch you live forever...

Chapter 157: Guan Qitian gets the monkey mask, and the divine pupil sees that there is no more Flower-Fruit Mountain [asking for monthly tickets]

Li Che's eyes narrowed slightly.

His eyebrows kept getting hot, and he subconsciously activated the magical power [Star-Picking Pupils].

Pick the Star Pupil, [endlessly analyze, absorb the soul and enlighten the spirit, explore the void and return to the truth, shock evil and punish the evil]!
In Li Che's eyes, any evil cannot escape or hide, and can be seen by the Star-Picking Pupil.

Therefore, Li Che never doubted Zhaixingtong's judgment.

In his eyes, the peaceful Xinyuan Temple in the wind and snow suddenly became eerie.

There was definitely no problem with his eyes.

There must be something wrong with this Xinyuan Temple.

"It's filled with ghostly air and a deadly aura. Is this Xinyuan Temple... actually a ghost temple?"

Li Che frowned.

Or is it that there is a ghost hiding in the Xinyuan Temple?

besides……

"Could it be related to the Corpse God Cult?"

Li Che's heart moved slightly.

I can't help but think of this, and it's not difficult to verify it.

The [Chess Saint] Dao Fruit in his chest was beating violently, and the next moment, his mind was immersed in the chessboard of heaven and earth.

The crisscrossing web of chessboards spread out, instantly enveloping heaven and earth, and covering the eerie Xinyuan Temple.

Then, Li Che's mind floated on the chessboard of heaven and earth, and he gently flicked his fingers at the Seven Element Corpse Curse letter seal that had been refined for the most part.

A Pure Heart Dao Fruit crashed into it and suddenly exploded!

Then came the second one...

It was like an ancient huge bell being struck suddenly!
Suddenly, invisible black ripples spread out like the sound waves of a huge bell, with Li Che's body as the center...

It was like a black wave, spreading towards the Xinyuan Temple, and then under Li Che's strange gaze.

The Xinyuan Temple is surrounded by the spirit of heaven and earth. One, two, three...

The dense aura of the Corpse Curse Seal burst out.

Even Li Che couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Li Che suddenly understood where those Corpse God Cult masters who evacuated from the city had hidden.

original……

Are they all hiding in this temple?
of course……

This Xinyuan Temple might just be one of the strongholds of the Corpse God Cult outside the city.

But, isn't this just... a coincidence?

Li Che laughed.

Not only was he not frightened, but he became even more excited.

The little hands in my heart couldn't help but rub it.

I can only say that after searching everywhere for a long time, I found it by accident.

Li Che slowly dispersed the chessboard of heaven and earth, withdrew his mind, and the star-picking pupil that had been burning between his brows also returned to silence.

"Young Master Gong, this Xinyuan Temple... I heard it is a branch of the once glorious Qitian Temple?"

Li Che asked, turning the topic to Xinyuan Temple.

Hearing this, Gong Yunli sneered: "The Xinyuan Temple is just flattering itself. In its heyday, the Qitian Temple was a behemoth that occupied six provinces and twelve states in the world. It is not an exaggeration to call it the number one sect in the world..."

"Although due to the riot in the Weird Temple and human factors, the Qitian Temple declined and split, and now it has split into three major sects..."

"But in fact, the three major sects and the Qitian Temple have only superficial similarities."

"Qitian Temple is too strong, and the three major sects... are too weak."

“From this comparison, we can see that… the lack of Taoist tradition is too serious,” said Gong Yunli.

"The sects are different from the imperial court. The sects attach great importance to the orthodoxy. A orthodoxy can be passed down for thousands of years, but it is not just talk."

Li Che nodded.

Qitian Temple is a huge behemoth that encompasses the six paths and twelve states, but what is Xinyuan Temple?
It is just a small sect outside Jinguang Prefecture in Yunzhou under the jurisdiction of Lingnan Road.

The weak have their own sorrows.

If the Xinyuan Temple is not in collusion with the Corpse God Cult, then there is only one possibility, that is, the Corpse God Cult has completely eroded the weak Xinyuan Temple.

Either way, it's not good news.

Li Che and Gong Yunli did not talk about anything else. The carriage convoy broke through the wind and snow and slowly drove into the large square in front of the huge temple of Xinyuan Temple.

Li Che and Gong Yunli got off the carriage, and the wind and snow were howling.

Gongyang Liancheng walked over and joined Gong Yunli.

Li Che and several other wood carving masters stood quietly in the queue, waiting for the arrangements of Gong Yang Liancheng and Gong Yunli.

If we want to go to the Fire-Eyed Mysterious Ape Temple, we need two people to lead the way.

In addition to the strange temple of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus Wrathful Prince of the Four Imperial Level, Jinguan Mansion also has two major Eight Extremes strange temples, namely the [Fire Eyed Mysterious Spiritual Ape Temple] and the [Iron Crutch Happy Asura Temple].

They are all eight extremely strange temples that were suppressed by the imperial court and are now under the jurisdiction of the Temple Suppression Department.

If you want to enter the strange temple, you need a temple entry order.

Originally, Gong Yunli had applied for a temple entry permit from the Temple Guarding Office a few days ago.

However, the chief envoy of the Temple Administration stationed at the Fire-Eyed Mysterious Ape Temple reported back that the strange temple's strange palace had been shaking for some time.

Therefore, the day for entering the temple to worship the gods was postponed, but now it has finally been promised.

Gongyang Liancheng looked solemn. After counting the names on the list, he nodded.

"Everyone is here. Let's get ready. We are about to go to the Weird Temple to see the temple gods."

"This is a rare opportunity for all of you, so you must seize it."

When facing many third-class guests, Gongyang Liancheng did not fawn on them as he did when facing Deputy Lin Xiujian, and he even showed off his official power.

In the distance, two old monks slowly walked out of the Xinyuan Temple.

They have kind eyes, white eyebrows and beards, and are all elderly monks.

"Master Xuanli, Master Xuanyuan..."

Gongyang Liancheng clasped his fists and bowed, then smiled gently at the two monks.

"Master Xuanli is the abbot of the Xinyuan Temple. The Xinyuan Temple has made great contributions in helping the Temple Guardian to take charge of the Weird Temple, and the help of Master Xuanli is indispensable."

Gongyang Liancheng introduced Li Che and other third-class guests.

Many guests immediately clasped their fists and saluted.

The old monk put his palms together and smiled kindly: "You are all masters of wood carving. If you can gain something from observing the temple gods, it will not be a waste of the hard work of my Xinyuan Temple and the Demon Suppression Department to suppress the Weird Temple."

Li Che mingled among many guest officials and was also in charge of etiquette.

However, Li Che's heart moved, and he activated the Seven Yuan Corpse Curse Mother and Child Seal to investigate whether these two masters of the Divine Appearance Realm of the Heart Ape Temple were related to the Corpse God Cult.

Ok?
However, as soon as Li Che stimulated it, the Seven Element Corpse Curse Mother Seal that was suppressed on the chessboard of heaven and earth began to tremble violently.

Li Che raised his eyebrows and directly moved the dark golden divine chess piece of the King of Heaven.

The mother and child seal was suppressed forcefully.

And Li Che also saw Xuanli and Xuanyuan, the two masters of the Xinyuan Temple, through the chessboard of heaven and earth...

The death and corpse aura on his body was so strong that it almost turned into an evil ghost released from hell!

Good guy!
Li Che was stunned and exclaimed in his heart, "Wow!"

Is this the evil person from the Corpse God Cult disguised as a monk?
Li Che's heart was moved slightly, but his face remained expressionless. Over the years, he had already developed the ability to keep a calm expression.

Ordinary people cannot detect the seal of the corpse curse at all, which is why the evil people of the Corpse God Cult can wantonly corrode many high-ranking forces in the Jinguan Mansion.

This is because even if the seal is granted, no one will know about it, and the evil in one’s heart can be hidden.

So even if the seal is granted, what’s the harm?

However, everything changed after the Bull Demon appeared in Jinguan City.

Niu Mo was actually able to discover those evil people from the Corpse God Cult who had been granted the seal. This was an extremely heavy blow to these evil people.

The two masters naturally didn't know that Li Che had already discovered the identities hidden behind their kind faces.

Li Che did not expose it either.

It would be unwise to expose him now. He has the flying thunder chess piece in his control, so he is naturally safe and can leave whenever he wants.

But others aren't so lucky.

Even Gongyang Liancheng and Gong Yunli, two virtual cultivators...

I'm afraid I'll be left behind.

Therefore, Li Che did not intend to expose it. He left a flying thunder chess piece behind and dropped a coordinate point. He planned to contact Li Qingshan later and find an opportunity...

Let’s work together to take down this stronghold of the Corpse God Cult!

Li Che has always been deeply distressed about the Corpse God Cult.

Based on the principle of rather killing the wrong person than letting the guilty go.

Now that the Corpse God Cult’s stronghold has been discovered, how could Li Che let them go so easily?
Maybe, the Corpse God Cult is still planning how to capture Xixi!
Just thinking about it, Li Che felt that the Corpse God Cult should be cut into pieces.

The two masters, Xuanli and Xuanyuan, with gentle smiles on their faces, watched Gongyang Liancheng and Gong Yunli, leading the team of wood carving masters, walk towards the depths of the temple behind Xinyuan Temple.

The two monks looked at each other, and the smiles in their eyes disappeared without a trace.

Master Xuanli's figure suddenly straightened up, there was no trace of old age in his eyes anymore, and they were extremely sharp.

"Just now... my [Thousand Miles Divine Mirror] seemed to have reacted..."

"Xuan Jiu seems to be nearby!"

Master Xuanyuan's bald head was clear and bright. He wiped his head and asked in surprise: "Xuan Jiu... is he not dead yet?"

"How could he die? He was just injured by that old guy from the Imperial Observatory. It's not that easy to die... After all, he is a half-step cursed silver corpse."

Xuan Jiu was able to refine a half-step cursed silver corpse with a hint of silver energy.

Xuan Li felt that Xuan Jiu would not die so easily.

"So, you guess that Xuan Jiu concealed his identity and hid among the group of third-class guest officials of the Imperial Observatory?"

Master Xuanyuan frowned.

Master Xuanli nodded and looked at the team's figures that gradually became blurred in the snow and went deeper into the mountain path.

His eyes sparkled with brilliance.

"Xuan Jiu, please don't ruin our plan."

Master Xuan Yuan's frown suddenly relaxed: "Xuan Jiu may be planning to use the temple-guarding cursed corpse in the strange temple to restore the power of Yin Gang... Why don't you send him a message and tell him not to ruin our plan."

Master Xuanli nodded, thinking it made sense.

……

……

There was a sudden snowstorm at the top of the mountain, and I walked on the mountain path for a while.

We are all practitioners. Those who can become masters of wood carving are not too weak, and naturally will not be affected by environmental factors in their journey and progress.

After about half an incense stick of time, Li Che and his group arrived in front of the strange temple.

The mysterious temple of the Fire-Eyed Mysterious Ape!
It is located halfway up the mountain, but it covers the entire halfway up the mountain.

Here, Li Che even saw many old sites of the village.

Obviously, this strange temple was originally built because of the village. Now that the village has been destroyed, the strange temple has expanded to its extreme.

The thick gray fog was rolling, accompanied by wind and snow, looking like a temple located in another time and space, nestled in the smoke.

The gods from the temple guarding department put up fences around the perimeter.

Monks are forbidden to enter the temple without a permit.

The defense is naturally much worse than that of the Four Emperors’ Strange Temple.

The Baji Weird Temple had already given birth to the Weird Que. Li Che was watching the Weird Que with curiosity. At first, Cao Guang, the Lord of Feilei City, had planned to hold a Thousand Infants Banquet to upgrade the status of the Weird Temple and give birth to the Weird Que.

Unfortunately, the plan was ruined by Li Che.

Because there was an order to enter the temple, and it was not the first time that the Imperial Observatory brought a wood carving master to observe the temple gods.

Therefore, the chief inspector of the Temple Guarding Office simply gave him a quick inspection and then let him go.

An incense burner appeared in the chief officer's hand and he lit three incense sticks.

Holding the incense burner, he walked forward.

The thick fog in Guique was like a curtain, tearing open to both sides, revealing a spacious continent leading directly to the tall temple.

The temple has carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and pointed corners, and the black tiles are covered with thick white snow, making it look rather dilapidated. On the walls are images of monkeys in various postures engraved.

It was the same as the first time I saw the strange temple.

A powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the temple, but Li Che today was no longer the young boy who first saw the strange temple.

Not to mention that his physique has now reached the level of a furnace master.

The powerful spiritual consciousness condensed from the forging of the seven-wheeled divine foundation alone is enough for him to easily break free from the strange temptation of this strange temple.

"The Weird Palace is the most dangerous place in the Weird Temple. It is generally believed that it is the self-protection measure of the Weird Temple..."

"As long as we break through the strange gate, we can clear the strange fog and see the temple."

The chief envoy of the temple guard who led the team held the incense burner and said lightly.

"The Guique is very dangerous. If you fail to conquer the Weird Temple and are dragged into it, you will be pulled into the illusion of the temple god and easily sink into it. You will also be attacked by the cursed corpses guarding the temple..."

"The temple-protecting corpse curse of the Baji Weird Temple is comparable to the Corpse God Cult's bronze corpse curse."

"The Corpse God Cult's Corpse Curse seems to be derived from the Temple Curse of the Weird Temple."

After a brief introduction.

The group walked along a foggy path of about a kilometer and arrived in front of the temple.

"Everyone, the road ends here. You can go inside the strange temple as you wish."

"Visiting the temple gods, visiting the temple gods... one must find a balance."

"If your spiritual consciousness can no longer bear it, if your divine nature can no longer bear it... then you should wisely withdraw yourself."

"Otherwise, if your consciousness is controlled by the temple gods and you become a cursed corpse guarding the temple, it will be too late to regret."

The chief officer of the temple guard placed the incense burner with three burning incense sticks at the entrance of the strange temple.

"Everyone, please come in."

"You need to leave before the three incense sticks burn out!"

Qi Yanghao, the chief officer of the Temple Guarding Division, said in a deep voice.

Many third-class guest officials looked solemn, understood, and responded accordingly.

Li Che also followed the crowd and agreed.

Then, like the other third-class guests, he stepped past the incense burner and stepped into the strange temple.

Chief Constable Qi Yanghao stood quietly in front of the temple with his hands folded across his chest and a knife on his waist.

Once the three incense sticks are burned out, he will immediately pick up the incense burner and leave.

By then... when Guique returns, these third-rate guests will have to rely on their own abilities to leave the temple.

The first rule of guarding the strange temple is to avoid fighting with the cursed corpses and monsters that guard the temple...

Once the fights become more frequent, it is easy to revive the temple god and cause a riot in the strange temple!
As for the life and death of these third-class guest officials...

He won't care because the time has been set.

These guests were greedy and wanted to see more temple gods, so they paid the price for their greed.

……

……

Li Che and many other third-class guests set foot into the strange temple.

Compared to the Lingying Temple outside Qilei City, this Lingyuan Temple is much larger.

White candles were lit all around, simply for illumination, lighting up the darkness within the temple.

But in fact, this Monkey Temple is not that big.

With so many guests pouring in, the place seemed a bit crowded.

It is a small temple with three statues on the altar.

There is a tall statue of a temple god and the other two are smaller.

But without exception, they are all in the image of monkeys.

The temple deity ape was wearing armor, with eyes as golden as fire, sitting on a lotus pedestal with his legs crossed.

Just one look at it and you will feel the lively and agile wooden carvings of the temple gods emerging from it.

Li Che found a place.

Like other guests, he sat cross-legged, raised his head, released his spiritual consciousness, and admired the temple gods.

By observing the spirit of the temple god statues and simulating the carving in your mind, you can improve your carving skills.

A guest raised his hand in the air and performed the Da Jing Qin Tian Seven Yuan Thousand Hands Divine Carving Technique.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone was paying homage to the temple gods.

Li Che only looked at it for a while before he understood the theory of Guan Temple God.

It is to comprehend and capture the meaning of the temple gods.

Wooden carving of temple deity... I wonder who carved it?

It is said that a strange temple appeared out of nowhere.

It contains unique carving techniques.

The reason why there is the profession of wood carving master is because wood carving masters imitate the wood carvings of temple gods. By capturing and imitating the meaning of the wood carvings of temple gods, they can help spiritual children and child prodigies to cultivate their divinity faster.

That is why the world we live in today has a way of divine practice that has developed and flourished on the original way of qi and blood warriors.

With Zhaixingtong, Li Che basically learned the carving technique of the temple god ape at a glance.

This kind of imitation was not difficult for him.

On the contrary, things like [Avalokitesvara Lotus Bullet] and [Guanyin Sitting on Lotus Main Battle Tank] require technical and R&D aspects. Even with the Star-Picking Pupil, they still require step-by-step R&D and trial and error.

The surroundings gradually became quiet.

"call--"

"Suck--"

It was extremely quiet.

Everyone seemed to be caught up in the contemplation of the temple gods, and their minds were drawn away.

Only Li Che was extremely active in thinking.

After glancing around and making sure that everyone was silent.

Li Che stood up, brushed off his black shirt, raised his hand and touched his forehead.

Gently swipe downward.

"Picking Star Pupils!"

The analysis is endless, drawing souls and enlightening spirits!
The space between his eyebrows split open, and the flesh and blood seemed to be torn apart.

One eyeball rolled around, and a faint golden smoke escaped from the pupil.

As Thousand Analysis Hands was promoted to Star-Picking Pupil, he absorbed the divinity of the temple god without even having to jump onto the altar himself and reach out to touch it.

All you need to do is look into the eyes of the temple god with your Star-Picking Pupils.

hum-

The stream of light projected out and landed on the Fire-Eyed Black Jingling Ape.

next moment.

Li Che saw that the statue of the temple god seemed to have come back to life.

The fiery eyes of the spirit ape suddenly swept over, and the cry of the spirit ape seemed to echo between heaven and earth!
Li Che was in a trance.

It seemed as if everything around me had changed.

It’s like the mind is moving from the outside world to the chessboard of heaven and earth!
moment.

The color of heaven and earth changes.

……

……

Rumble!
Outside the strange temple.

The incense burner was placed quietly, three incense sticks were burning quietly, and the smoke rose straight up vertically.

suddenly.

Qi Yanghao suddenly opened his eyes, crossed his arms across his chest, and his eyes were sharp.

Staring at the columns of smoke rising from the three incense sticks.

However, he discovered that the rising column of smoke first swayed to the left and then twisted to the right.

It seemed to be torn into pieces by the air currents blowing from both sides at the same time!

Qi Yanghao's hair stood on end. He turned his head to look to the left and right, and found that the strange fog had been separated.

It actually began to close slowly!
Qi Yanghao could even see the guardian corpses of the temple looming in the strange palace... and all kinds of confusing illusions!
"wrong!"

"Why did Guique close prematurely?!"

"Don't we have to wait until the three incense sticks have burned out?"

Qi Yanghao was shocked.

My heart is shocked!

Weird temple riot!
A riot without warning!
You know, in previous years, this was the procedure for guest officials from the Imperial Observatory to enter the temple!
"not good!"

Qi Yanghao rushed to the incense burner.

He roared at the many guests who were still visualizing the temple god inside the strange temple.

"wake up!"

"retreat!"

However, those guests seemed to be completely trapped in a strange illusion.

His shouting didn't have any effect at all!

"Damn...what the hell is going on?"

Qi Yanghao always looked unhappy.

But I can't care about it.

He didn't even have time to grab the incense burner, he just took a step forward, his blood surging, and ran wildly towards the outside of the strange palace that was about to fall together like a curtain.

call out--

On both sides, it was like the last moment when two huge waves crashed into each other.

It was Qi Yanghao who rushed out.

far away.

Gongyang Liancheng and Gong Yunli's faces suddenly changed and they rushed over.

"What happened?!"

Gong Yang Lian Cheng took advantage of his face.

After Qi Yanghao landed, he stood up, brushed off the dust on his uniform, and placed one hand on the knife at his waist.

His eyes were cold.

"What else could happen?"

"Mysterious temple..."

"riot."

……

……

Shouts, sounds of fire, and explosions!

When Li Che opened his eyes, he saw a scene of ruins, a palace falling apart, and countless pieces of rubble flying and collapsing.

The ground was filled with the corpses of monkeys...

Scattered all over the ground, the rich smell of blood filled the space between heaven and earth.

Li Che raised his head uncontrollably and saw the sky.

A figure with a billowing red cloak and two long feathers flying on his head, wearing a gilded Xuanling armor and holding a golden magic stick, is so powerful that it seems as if the clouds in the sky and the earth are overturned.

Opposite the figure, there were dense black clouds rolling, and above the black clouds, countless figures stood in a row, with an aura that was earth-shaking, oppressive, and cramped!

It's too far away.

I couldn't hear the conversation between the two parties.

All of a sudden, the heaven and earth were shaking with the sound of mournful laughter!

Full of sadness, endless sorrow...

Li Che just raised his head and took a look.

He wanted to take one more look.

But he couldn't do it at all. No, it wasn't that he couldn't do it...

But the perspective he occupied at this moment began to turn around and flee at lightning speed.

It seemed to be upholding the will of the powerful divine ape holding the golden stick and facing the endless weirdness.

live...

A huge sense of sorrow spread, eyes became blurred, and the picture was shattered.

Countless streams of fire burned up and turned into dripping tears of fire!
It was like a weeping ape, leaping and running nimbly among the mountains and fields.

"Qitian——"

"Qitian!!!"

ear.

The endless sounds of the apes' fanaticism, excitement, and roars suddenly exploded in Li Che's ears!

bang...

Endless perspectives shattered.

Li Che felt a sharp pain.

The possessed ape's vision spun around and around, and finally, it fell heavily to the ground.

He has fled to the foot of the mountain.

He struggled and staggered to a standing...

A burnt and cracked stone tablet.

He raised his hand with difficulty, and slapped the stone tablet with his blood-stained palm.

Slowly, rubbing and pulling out a blood mark...

It seems as if a sense of belonging is engraved deep in the ape’s soul.

Just because there are three words written on the stone tablet.

"Flower and Fruit Mountain."

Bata, bah...

Flame-like tears dripped from the fire eyes.

"But in the future."

"There is no more Flower-Fruit Mountain."

"No more Qi Tian."

……

……

The picture is fragmented.

The star-picking pupil in the mud ball between Li Che's eyebrows exuded endless heat.

His eyes opened and closed, then slowly opened.

I don't know when, my cheeks were already wet with tears.

Li Che was still stunned.

Touched his wet cheek.

It felt like I hadn't yet recovered from what I had just seen.

what is that?
The obsession of the temple god?
But he had no intention of watching the temple god's obsession...

He just intended to absorb the divinity of the temple god.

Why?

Why can he see the remaining obsession of the temple god?
Is it because of the magical power [Picking Stars]?

Li Che didn’t know, couldn’t figure it out, and didn’t want to think about it.

Suddenly.

In his chest, [Chess Saint] Daoguo's heart was pounding!

His mind was suddenly immersed in the chessboard of heaven and earth.

But see...

On the crisscrossing chessboard lines of heaven and earth.

Quietly floating a...

Monkey mask.
