One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 32: Chijun Temple
After Zhao Fuyun came back, he lay down on the rattan chair, poured a bowl of cold tea, took a sip, and then realized that this was the bowl that Master Xun had drunk from.

He went over today's events in his mind and found that many things were beyond his ability to deal with. He could only watch passively and linger on the edge.

Close your eyes, slowly calm your mind, and start practicing.

The mysterious light was rotating in the void, collecting the yin dew between heaven and earth.

When daybreak came, he returned to the house.

For several days, he practiced in the house and then went outside for a walk. Zhu Puyi's status here has increased a lot. The yamen was established very quickly and he was very busy.

When he came to the Chijun Temple again that day, he found that the Chijun statue had been almost completed and had been moved to the original altar.

The foot part of the statue is a carved robe, which hangs down, leaving only the feet exposed.

His hands were held in front of his chest, with his palms and fingers spread out and smooth. Zhao Fuyun took one look and was sure that they would be a perfect spot to place the Calamity Fire Lamp.

During these few days, he tried to write the Red Flame Divine Mantra on the Calamity Fire Lamp, but he simply couldn't write it. The lamp of the Calamity Fire Lamp actually had a magical rhythm that was untainted by dust.

However, it was much easier to carve words on the statue of the Red Flame God. He did not let the two sculptors do it, but borrowed their carving knives, observed for a while, and then started carving on the statue.

He first carved the Red Flame Sutra on his back, from the back of the neck all the way along the spine to the waist.

The font was vigorous and powerful, and there seemed to be a hint of anger brewing in it, which made him very satisfied.

Then, he began to carve the 'Red Flame Divine Curse' from his shoulder, all the way to his wrist, and did the same on his other arm.

Finally, he carved a fire symbol on the forehead of the Red Flame God.

As soon as the fire talisman was completed, the entire statue seemed to have a source of fire. He then carved a fire talisman into the palm of his hand that was to hold the Fire Lamp.

He did not stop, and continued to carve fire symbols everywhere on the clothes of the statue. The fire symbols were like patterns, covering Chi Jun's entire body. He then took cinnabar and mixed it with several other yang medicines, and smeared it into the patterns carved by the carving knife.

After everything was painted, the master and disciple who carved the statue took a closer look and felt that the stone statue seemed to be burning with a ball of blazing flame.

Zhao Fuyun then took the fire lamp and the forty-nine oil lamps from his home and placed them around the statue, forming a circle.

And his statue of Chijun made of jujube wood was placed at the feet of the big statue.

Zhao Fuyun looked at the statue surrounded by lights and felt extremely satisfied.

He said to Tong Anping and You Dongshi, "Please keep these silver coins and the two Chijun Fu coins. Thank you for your hard work these days."

"Don't dare, don't dare!" The two men bent down and took the silver and the Chijun Fu money. At this point, the Chijun Fu money that Zhao Fuyun had refined in the mountains was used up.

"Please go back, both of you. It's getting dark and we can't stay outside the city for long." Zhao Fuyun said.

When the two saw the lights clustered around the statue and the mysterious and majestic statue of Chijun that appeared in the firelight, they had all kinds of speculations in their minds, but they could only suppress them.

I walked down the hillside and looked back at the Chijun Temple, only to find that the temple door was closed.

A faint glow of fire shone through the crack in the door, and they felt that this new teacher was much stronger than the previous one.

The former acted in a hurry, with his emotions showing on his face, while this one, although polite and smiling to everyone, they were still frightened every time they thought of the fire that night.

Tong Anping had seen this temple before, but he felt that this temple, located in the dark mountains and beside the gloomy river, must be a place where ghosts lurk.

And before, a black temple was built there, and that was indeed the case.

But now, he felt that the temple, alone in the night sky, guarded the mountains and the river. There were monsters in the mountains and ghosts in the river, but the people here could only raise poisonous insects and use corpses to fight against the monsters in order to survive.

After so many years, a fire was finally lit in this place, as if to illuminate this dark place.

Zhao Fuyun closed the temple door and sat cross-legged on the ground in the temple.

Quietly thinking about what I have done these days.

There had been a lot of killings in these days. Although he was forced by current events, he was the one who did it in the end. In front of the most powerful and masculine Lord Chiyan in the world, he recalled his actions, as if he was declaring them to Lord Chiyan, and as if he was examining them in his heart.

Finally, after a period of meditation, he opened his eyes again, and then suddenly stretched out his sword finger, as if picking a flower, and caught a little fire in the fire, and the fire flickered at his fingertips.

By practicing the method of condensing the mysterious light, one can draw talismans in the void, and his ability to pinch flames into talismans is a further step forward. With a wave of his sword finger, a point of fire fell into a fire talisman carved on the statue.

He did not stop. He picked up seventeen fire talismans in one breath and dropped them on the statue. Each one fell on the fire talisman engraved on the statue and was imprinted into it, like flames generating light.

He stopped, closed his eyes again, and meditated for a while, then stood up and walked behind the statue, and waved the flames into the fire talisman again and again.

When he stopped again, the statue seemed to be wearing a flaming robe.

Finally he came to the front and looked at the center of the statue's eyebrows, but did not wave the fire talisman.

He sat down again.

I could hear the sound of waves in the river outside and the chirping of birds at night, but they had an eerie feeling to them, just like the sound of wind and waves on the river.

When a ray of sunlight between heaven and earth fell on the Chijun Temple, the sound of chanting the Chiyan Divine Mantra was heard in the temple.

The flames surged up in an instant, and the fishermen on the riverside also heard the magnificent chanting coming from the Chijun Temple on the hillside.

The sound seemed to be locked in a room, echoing back and forth inside, so the sound overlapped and became thick, as if many people were chanting together.

Someone came to the outside of the Chijun Temple and could see the surging flames inside through the crack in the door. The sunlight falling from the roof seemed to have gathered into flames here.

They all felt extremely hot, as if the sun in the sky had fallen into the temple.

In the temple, the flames from the lamps rushed up, and the dancing flames were reflected on the statues, as if roasting the statues. Some kind of will from within seemed to penetrate into them.

A red light burst out from the jujube wood statue under the feet of the great statue, merging with the flames.

At this moment, Zhao Fuyun felt the heat of the sky reaching its peak. He exuded a divine power, and his eyes glowed with a dignified red light. He shouted, "Please stay with me, Lord Chi."

He stretched out his finger and a red light fell on the fire symbol between the eyebrows of the statue.

At this moment, the entire statue seemed to come alive, as if the finishing touch was given to a painting. The original red light on the entire statue became smooth at this moment, and gathered towards the center of the eyebrows, and then slowly disappeared, as if it was absorbed into the inside of the statue.

At this point, this Chijun can truly be called the Chijun Temple.

It can also be considered as his new dojo.

However, the purpose of his visit to the temple this time was to refine the calamity fire.

He stood there looking at the Fire Lamp held in the palm of the statue. Red flames had begun to gather above it, and he felt excited.

If one can condense the true evil of calamity fire, that will be the time for him to build his foundation.
