Sword from the Immortal Mountain

Chapter 64: The Fire of the Earthly Evil, Gathered as a Lamp
There is actually a mountain trail leading from the Taoist temple to the top of the mountain, hidden among the weeds. It looks deserted because few people walk on it.

Chen Jin walked up the road with a lantern in hand.

The lights are like eyes, blinking.

As we walked higher and higher, the fog thickened and enveloped us. But as we got closer, it was dispersed by the lights.

The master of Yunshan Temple is not just a decoration. He has to show some strength when it is time to do so.

At the same time, it was a rare opportunity, and he was also secretly observing Chen Jin.

But I really can't see through it.

Judging from his appearance, Chen Jin doesn't look like a cultivator at all. He is hiding it too deeply.

As a defeated general, the master of the temple felt a sense of "unfathomable".

"Are you looking at me?"

Chen Jin suddenly spoke.

The master of the temple was startled, knowing that he was spying on the other party. If his spirit and mind were strong enough, he would immediately react and notice it, so he replied: "My mind is moved, I have to watch."

This is the truth.

Chen Jin's spirit and mind are sharp, so how could the master of the temple not be sensitive?

For example, when there is a mysterious object standing next to you, it is difficult for an individual to suppress his inner curiosity and turn a blind eye.

I always take a look at it unconsciously.

It would be a shame not to watch it.

Chen Jin didn't care and said with a smile: "The master's "Five Internal Organs Magic Method" is indeed unique."

This magical method is certainly not unique to Yunshan Temple, but is a widely spread method and one of the representative methods of Shintoism.

It is precisely because it was widely circulated and learned by many monks that it continued to change and gave rise to many versions.

If we trace back to the origin, it is the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

In fact, for divine methods, the more people practice them, the better it is.

This is because the incense and spiritual power condensed by the worship and visualization of the five internal organs gods is mainly accumulated by the number of people.

When its divine aura grows stronger, it will benefit all those who worship this god.

In a sense, monks who practice the same divine law can be grouped into a sect.

For example, the Five Internal Organs Cult.

This sect really exists, but its organization is relatively loose, forming numerous Taoist temples, monasteries, families, etc., which are basically independent and develop on their own.

In the Qian Dynasty, there were many similar religions, all of which were composed of faith and incense.

Chen Jin doesn't know much about these aspects. He practices the way of immortality, which is a different path.

Moreover, the scope of our current activities is limited, so our knowledge is naturally limited.

Now that we have the temple master, an old Shinto expert, it's a good opportunity to ask for clarification.

"I heard from my disciple Yun Cheng that in the Genshui County area, a cult called 'Ghost Spirit Cult' has appeared in recent years and has been very active. They worship a mysterious ghost and act in a secretive and evil way."

"Oh, really? How do they move?"

The temple master said slowly: "I don't know the details, you can ask Yun Cheng. I only know that this Ghost Spirit Cult is quite popular and favored by the wealthy families in the city."

Chen Jin laughed and said, "Is it because they are rich and unkind, and have evil intentions, that they like to worship ghosts?"

"That's not the case. I heard that the people of the Ghost Spirit Cult are good at asking ghosts to do things for them. They can plant life bases for living people and help people refine scapegoats..."

"What did you say?"

Chen Jin stopped suddenly, his eyes were scorching and his tone was cold.

The master of the temple immediately felt a chilling murderous intent. The white lantern trembled involuntarily, and the light flickered as if it was blown by a strong wind.
"Mr. Chen, did I say something wrong?"

"You said that the Ghost Spirit Cult's people made scapegoats for the rich and powerful. How did they do it?"

Chen Jin's eyes seemed to be lit with two flames. The master of Yunshan Temple thought for a moment and said, "Different religions, different secrets, and they are a newly emerged sect, and they are quite secretive. People outside have no way of understanding them. Maybe Yuncheng knows more, you can go ask him."

Chen Jin exhaled: "Okay, thank you very much, Master."

The conversation I had with the other party tonight seemed to have inadvertently solved a huge mystery in my heart.

In the past, his focus of investigation and tracking was mainly on finding scapegoats for the evil deeds committed by the disciples of powerful people, which was a logical contradiction.

But if it is, as the master of Yunshan Temple said, a ritual of the religion, using unique means to refine a "scapegoat" with magical significance, then that is another matter.

Facing Chen Jin's sudden "thank you", the master of the temple was a little uncomfortable for a while, and didn't understand why. The information he said about various religions was, at best, just his experience and knowledge.

At this time, they were almost at the top of the mountain, and Chen Jin certainly wouldn't rush to turn around and go down to ask Yun Cheng.

The important thing at the moment is to go and see the Evil Fire Spring.

Gurgling!
There was a strange sound of flowing water, and when I got here, I could already feel the hot wind in the air.

The temple master introduced: "There are many hot springs on the mountain, but the water contains fire poison, which is difficult to refine. If ordinary people soak in it, their skin and flesh will be scalded, and they may even die from the fire poison. Even some monks can hardly withstand it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jin walked over and checked out a nearby hot spring.

The hot spring was not very large, like a wooden basin. The water seemed to be boiling, bubbling constantly and making strange noises.

Boiling hot steam rises up.

A breath immediately rushed towards him, and even made the spirit and mind nurtured in the Niwan Palace feel a burning sensation.

What a domineering fire poison!

Chen Jin was not surprised but happy.

Because the more severe the fire poison is, the more it proves that the quality of the Earthly Evil Fire Spring is high.

It’s really good stuff.

The master of the temple was very contradictory. He was eager to get closer, but also worried about being burned. "Be careful, this place has entered the area of the Earthly Evil Fire Spring."

Although you believe that the other party is an expert, it is better to be safe than sorry.

The master of the temple did not come in real body, but a wisp of his mind and spirit, if it were damaged, it would also cause damage to his vitality.

"it is good."

Chen Jin responded in a deep voice that his current physical condition was also unable to withstand the erosion of the fierce fire poison and he must not act rashly.

Continue upwards and after a quarter of an hour you will reach the top of the mountain.

There was no grass growing here, only huge rocks. The exposed ground was dark black with soil, as if it had been burned.

"Master Chen, we can't get any closer. The Earthly Evil Fire Spring is hidden in a cave among the rocks."

The temple master quickly reminded.

Chen Jin said "hmm", stood still, reached out and took out something from his backpack, which was the Kuixing Wenhuo Lamp.

The temple master noticed it immediately, and his mind was shaken: This, is this a lamp-like magical instrument?

Yes, the last time Chen Jin asked for a lot of materials, it turned out that they were used to refine this lamp.

Now it seems that the lamp body is very complete and has almost no flaws, but it still lacks the most core things:

lights!

Of course, ordinary lamp oil, wicks, etc. can be used to make ritual lamps, but it still lacks some meaning.

No wonder he showed interest after hearing about the Disha Fire Spring.

So, are you here to collect the evil fire from the earth and light it into a lamp?

　The new book list has come out and the dust has settled. It reached 23rd on the overall list, which is not great, just average. The main reason is that I didn’t feel the volume of the 10-word smart push. It’s weird.

　　Never mind, writing a book is the most important thing.

　　Thanks to the book friends "Liushui Gechan", "Cloudless Sky" and "Directly Take Off i" for their generous rewards!
