Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 168: Using the Temple as a Formation
Snakes have their own paths and rats have their own paths.

When facing the young monk guarding the gate, the imperial teacher is not as good as the one sweeping the floor.

No, it’s the Sweeping God.

"Thank you, Sweeping Immortal." After entering the temple, the national teacher expressed his sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome." The Sweeping Immortal waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."

"Where are you going?"

The Sweeping Immortal looked up to the sky and sighed, "Brother, I am not an idler, I have to work."

The reason why the Sweeping Immortal is an immortal is that he first needs to sweep the floor.

"We're leaving too." Lin Jian waved goodbye.

Imperial Master: “Huh?”

"Don't you realize that the three of us standing out together? Besides, how can we, two young people, hang out with an old man like you?"

"This..." The national teacher squatted in the corner alone.

Chunxue hugged Linjian's arm and pulled him all the way into the front yard.

As if intimidated by the bustling yet solemn temple scene before him, Haruyuki's lively movements slowed down, and his bright eyes slowly scanned everything in front of him.

"Hee~"

A smile played on Haruyuki's lips. He turned around and stroked Lin Jian's face. "Idiot, I've already given you the answer. Why haven't you figured it out yet?"

"What should I see?" Lin Jian opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of clear stupidity.

"Come here." Haruyuki pulled his sleeve and ran towards the largest central hall.

Lin Jian looked up and saw five big characters written on the plaque of the hall: "The Great Sun Demon Subduing Hall".

Countless believers surround this hall.

They were muttering to themselves, and were actually reciting scriptures from Minguang Temple in a low voice.

The whole team looked chaotic, but upon closer inspection, they were surprisingly well coordinated.

The mixture of so many voices should have caused chaos and made it difficult to hear the content of the scriptures. However, the chanting of these believers actually made people feel that there was some meaning of pure Buddhist sounds.

Listening quietly in the woods, I felt that it also helped to purify the anxiety in my heart.

For a moment, everyone spoke more politely, "What's wrong?"

Haruyuki looked up at the large sun mirror hanging high on the palace ceiling and pointed out, "Look closely at that mirror."

Lin Jian followed his gaze.

At first glance, I only felt the sunlight reflected from the mirror, so bright that it hurt my eyes.

The next moment, he poured his true energy into his eyes and silently activated the secret technique of the sharp pupil.

Therefore, the direction of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can no longer be hidden.

The scorching sun's blazing energy shines on the earth, but all the blazing energy that shines on this temple is captured by this bronze mirror.

Under the sharp pupil, one could see in the forest that the entire Great Sun Demon Subduing Temple was mostly engraved with patterns of magic arrays, and the Yang Yan Qi was transmitted downwards from the bronze mirror along the constraints of those magic arrays.

Down…down…always down.

Lin Jian's gaze followed the red-orange spiritual energy in his eyes all the way, and finally he saw the yangyan energy flowing along the body of the Great Sun Demon Subduing Palace all the way down to the ground, and then disappeared.

But faintly, Fengtong felt a burning sensation.

...from underground.

From the ground beneath the feet of everyone in the temple!
Lin Jian gathered all his true energy to activate more potential in Fengtong, trying hard to see where the Yangyan Qi that was led into the underground finally went.

However, just as he was about to investigate, he felt a ball of exploding fire rushing towards him, and Lin Jian was so scared that he subconsciously took a step back.

The sharp pupil, which required full concentration and true energy to support it, naturally no longer worked.

The flame that was only seen in the spiritual consciousness naturally no longer needs to be seen.

Lin Jian took a step back and was sweating profusely. The consumption of using his sharp pupils and the last glimpse made him feel confused.

Flames...absolutely explosive flames.

The temple draws the sun's true fire to gather, accumulating under the feet of the crowd for a long time.

What exactly are they going to do?
Haruyuki didn't explain either.

Seeing that Lin Jian seemed to understand the peculiarity of this place, he pulled him to another place.

Lin Zhong, still pondering the flames he had just seen, came to his senses and found himself standing in front of another side hall.

Karma Fire Pure Glaze Palace.

This hall is not as grand as the main hall, the Great Sun Demon Subduing Hall, and the believers around it are naturally not as crowded as those around the Great Sun Demon Subduing Hall.

Although they are all in the same front yard, this palace, which is only a hundred steps away, seems a bit quiet in broad daylight.

Even the believers who made wishes and worshipped here seemed to be quieter and slower.

Chunxue took Linjian's wrist and stepped into the hall with a smile. A sense of coolness instantly surrounded him.

There was a pause in the forest at first, and then he realized that this feeling of desolation was different from the fear that came from the deepest part of his heart.

Although this place is desolate and quiet, it does not feel gloomy or scary. Instead, it gives people a faint sense of security.

The two people who entered the temple, like other believers, knelt silently in front of the Buddha statue.

In the hall nearby, monks were beating wooden fish and chanting scriptures that seemed to have no end.

Chunxue knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together, his eyes closed, and he was muttering something to himself.

His attitude seemed quite pious.

Lin Jian also pretended to bow three times, but in the process he paid more attention to the structure of the entire side hall.

Haruyuki wouldn't do anything without a purpose; the path she took herself down must have its underlying reasons.

Seven oil lamps were seen in the woods.

I don’t know what fuel these seven lamps use, but they are eternal and cannot be blown away by the wind, and I think they will not be extinguished even by the rain.

The arrangement is like stars in the sky, and there is a faint Qi channel that completely connects them into one.

A light breeze blew from nowhere, perhaps it was blowing on the spiritual consciousness.

A slight burnt smell could be "smelled" in the woods.

Although the aura was clearly completely opposite to that of the main hall, the Great Sun Demon Subduing Hall, Lin Jian felt a vague connection between the two.

The connection comes from under your feet and runs through it all.

...some kind of formation?
The forest gradually began to take shape.

After walking out of the hall, Lin Jian used his sharp eyes to scan around again.

I saw horizontal corridors connecting different halls and courtyards.

Stepping on it and gathering all his inner energy, he could feel an overwhelming and unstoppable force flowing under his feet.

The direction is from the Great Sun Demon Subduing Hall and goes to the Karma Fire Pure Glass Hall.

Lin Jian frowned and walked towards another corridor in the opposite direction.

As expected, compared to the more explosive and impulsive power in the corridor just now, the power flowing from the Karma Fire Pure Glaze Palace back to the Great Sun Demon Subduing Palace is more restrained and gentle.

A cycle.

A complete cycle.

But it's more than that.

Looking up in the woods, there are more than just these two side halls in the front yard of the entire temple.

Next to it are the Five-Incense Vajra Hall, the Wheel of Rebirth Hall...including the Great Compassion Hall where the old monk was previously located.

Under the sharp pupils, spiritual power passed through the corridor and also passed through it.

Lin Jian was certain that these monks were setting up a grand plan, but what exactly this formation could do? Perhaps he would have to run through every hall before he could get any clues...
