I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 125: Set Fire, Push Tower

"Mrs.'s Voice"

The main hall of incense was right in front of her, but the old nun looked suspicious.

The voice of the person in front of him was quite magnetic, obviously much rougher than that of the woman, and completely different from the childish voice of the beautiful girl before.

"Are you male or female?"

Seeing that the other party did not respond and just strode towards the main hall, the old nun instantly became alert. She took a few quick steps and stretched out her hand to block Xu Qing's way.

"What do you mean, Master? Does your temple have to separate people to welcome pilgrims?"

As he spoke, Xu Qing walked around the old nun in front of him and continued to walk inside.

The old nun had something to hide and refused to let Xu Qing in no matter what.

"Most of the people in this temple are nuns. Since you are a man, you should know the difference between men and women. If you insist on not leaving, I will call for help!"

"Is there a difference between men and women?" Xu Qing sneered, as if he had heard some huge joke.

"You weren't necessarily so noble when you were at Hongxing Temple."

"Who the hell are you?!"

The old nun's face changed drastically when she was reminded of her past.

"Who am I?" Xu Qing stretched out his hand to push away the old nun who was blocking the way and walked towards the main hall.

"This is the Temple of Childbirth, so naturally I'm here to pray for a child."

Hearing this, the old nun did not try to stop him. She just frowned and said, "You are a man. Even if you are disguised as a woman, you cannot go against the laws of nature and give birth to a child."

"I don't understand what you're saying, Master. Which family praying for a child doesn't defy the laws of nature? According to you, the children those pilgrims pray for are destined to be theirs. If that's the case, why do they need to come and beg the gods?"

In the candlelight of the main hall, Xu Qing looked up at the tall statue that was looking down at him, as if he was answering the old nun, or talking to the statue.

The old nun didn't dare to answer casually, but Xu Qing didn't intend to let her go.

Why are these fertility temples so popular? Do the pilgrims who come here to pray for children really get pregnant because they worship the gods and listen to the advice of these nuns?

Xu Qing integrated the information he had obtained over the past two days and already had the answer.

"Master, monks don't tell lies. I'm going to ask you something, and you must answer truthfully."

Hearing the noise in the main hall, two nuns who were on night duty and adding lamps came over.

"What do you want to ask, sir?"

Xu Qing patted Xuan Yu, who broke free from his embrace and ran lightly to the door of the main hall.

At this time, the old nun and two nuns who were adding lamps were standing between Xu Qing and Xuan Yu. Behind Xu Qing was a cold statue that always maintained a calm expression.

The statue has its eyes lowered, looking compassionate.

"I heard that pilgrims who pray for children in temples need to ask the temple nuns to deliver the babies. Is this true?"

The old nun was frightened by Xu Qing's question and hesitated for a moment and did not dare to answer easily. Instead, the middle-aged nun who was on duty at the side answered Xu Qing's question.

"Even if it is a child prayed for in my temple, it should naturally be delivered by my disciples."

"But I heard that most of the babies you deliver are stillborn, and some even die in the same place."

The nun laughed and said, "The Infant Rescue Mother only cares for those who have accumulated a lot of good karma. The reason why the baby died in the womb is that their virtue was not enough, which led to the soul child's unwillingness to be born. This has nothing to do with the disciples who deliver babies in my Child-Giving Temple, but rather their own lack of sincerity."

Xu Qing was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Have any of you nuns ever delivered babies for pilgrims who were praying for children?"

"Of course. If the lay Buddhist is sincere and becomes pregnant, the monks and nuns in our temple may compete to deliver the baby for her." The nun smiled playfully and looked frivolously, staring at Xu Qing while speaking.

They had never seen such a style before.

Faced with the nun's teasing, Xu Qing turned a deaf ear.

These nuns are also women, but they have no maternal instinct in their hearts.

A mother is kind to her children, willing to swallow the bitterness and spit out the sweetness, and has a natural desire to protect her children.

As for the nuns in the Songzi Temple, they do not have any maternal instinct, nor even any humanity.

Xu Qing chuckled and suddenly reached out to grab the nun's neck.

There was a crisp sound of bones dislocating, followed by the nun's head tilted to the side and her body collapsed to the ground.

The other two nuns stood there in shock. Before they could call out, Xu Qing flashed and in the blink of an eye, two more sounds of bones breaking were heard.

Xuan Yu, who was keeping watch at the door, turned his head and saw three people lying on the statue in the main hall.

Xuan Yu saw that Xu Qing looked unhappy, so he walked closer, raised his head and asked, "Did they do something bad?"

At this time, Xu Qing was using the Sutra of Salvation to examine the past of these nuns.

He saw couples praying for children kneeling devoutly, and he saw some women who, even when they were pregnant, still came to kneel and thank the gods.

But when they were about to give birth, the nuns in charge of delivering the babies were like the gatekeepers of death, strangling the newborn babies to death and sending them to the gates of hell.

After ten months of pregnancy, the baby has not yet opened his eyes to see his biological mother, and the biological mother has not yet had a chance to see her child before they are separated by the Yin and Yang, and there is no longer any mother-child relationship.

Even so, the mother still believes that it is her own fault and that God will not allow her to harm her child.

But what they don’t know is that even if they don’t go to the Temple of Childbirth to worship the Mother Who Saves Babies, they can still get pregnant.

Xu Qing looked at Xuan Yu who was asking him the question.

"They killed many people, both adults and children, some of whom were newborns and some of whom were new mothers."

"There are still some living adults who, if they knew their children would have lived well, learned to talk, walk, married, had children, and served their parents, they would probably feel more pain than if they had died."

It is easier to save animals than to save humans. I would rather save animals than save humans.

The short revolving door made Xu Qing feel uneasy for a long time.

Xuanyu didn't know what Xu Qing saw. It raised its head, thinking about something.

Then Xuan Yu took his head and gently rubbed the young man's knee.

Xu Qing smiled and reached out to pick up the cat who wanted to comfort him.

As he walked towards the temple entrance, he said, "But it doesn't matter. Once we in the Cat Fairy Hall raze this place to the ground, this kind of thing won't happen again."

A cold wind blew through the hall, red candles fell onto the incense table, tongues of flame climbed up the curtains, the huge statue was cut into pieces by the blood-red needle and thread, the huge head of the statue fell to the ground, the beams and pillars of the hall ignited with green flames, and the smoldering fire rolled up the scriptures all over the ground.

A fire broke out late at night, and the Songzi Temple became completely bustling.

The temple keeper, who was over forty years old, hurried to the main hall. The nuns around were in chaos. Only some elderly incense masters came forward with buckets of water to put out the fire.

Crows were circling above the fire, watching.

When a whistle suddenly sounded from below, the crows swooped down and flew towards the red figure in the night.

"Master, there is something I need to tell you in advance."

Xu Qing briefly told Hei Lao Ya about the evil deeds committed by the people in Songzi Temple.

"The babies those women prayed for weren't given by the savior mother through divine power, but rather were destined to be born between them." "They were being schemed against by the fertility temple, but they didn't realize it."

"Now that the culprit has been identified, please don't feel pity for these people and let them go."

The black crow's eyes reflected fire. After listening to Xu Qing's words, it decisively agreed: "I have heard about the Temple of Childbirth a long time ago. These nuns were not good people the first time I saw them. Don't worry about this matter. I will definitely guard all the roads and will not let a single nun escape from this temple."

There are many incense sticks, candles and scented oils stored in the main hall of the Songzi Temple. Now that the fire has started, even if many people bring water to put out the fire, it will be just a drop in the bucket.

The clouds follow the dragon and the wind follows the tiger.

Although Xuanyu is a cat, he also knows some skills to control the wind.

In the night illuminated by the fire, wherever the black cat passed, there was gray fog and howling wind.

The raging fires were drawn by the strange wind, and the spewing tongues of flames quickly spread to other buildings.

The priestess of the Songzi Temple was a person of some skill. When she saw this scene, she already understood the reason why the temple was flooded.

The temple priest, with a sad face and wearing the robes of a monk, looked around.

When she saw a red-dressed figure walking out of the night not far away, the temple keeper suddenly asked, "Who are you? Is the fire in my poor nunnery related to you?"

The person in front of him did not respond, but just walked faster and faster. The temple keeper only saw the other person moving around the temple, and every time he passed a person, a monk or nun fell down.

"How dare you!" The temple keeper tightly grasped the Buddhist beads in his hand and chanted the Ghost Mother Mantra. The next moment, the crying of a group of babies suddenly rang out.

Gurgling purple evil spirits emanated from the Buddhist beads, and the fishy and cold mist condensed into the appearance of a ghost baby. The ghost baby had its eyes tightly closed, its lips and mouth wide open, and its face was torn and changed by the evil spirits.

There are twelve beads on the Buddhist rosary. Now that these evil spirits have condensed into ghost babies, they obey the orders of the temple keeper and rush towards the evil guest in red.

The young man in the bright red wedding dress just glanced in her direction, and then began to slaughter the nuns in the Zimu Temple again.

The young man in red moved so swiftly and erratically that the ghostly demons with baby faces chased him for a long time but were unable to even touch the hem of his clothes.

Seeing that he couldn't capture the evil guest in red, the temple keeper turned his target to the cat demon who was fanning the flames.

Xuan Yu looked at the baby-faced ghost chasing him in the air, his eyes looking at him as if he was a fool.

The old nun had absolutely no idea of ​​a cat's speed.

Xuan Yu stood still, and before those ghost-faced infant demons pounced on it, it turned into a cloud of black evil spirit and disappeared without a trace.

When it appeared again, it had already come to the old nun.

Without any warning or hint, the slap landed on the temple keeper's face.

The temple keeper covered her face in pain, and when she came to her senses, the black cat had disappeared again.

Her fingers lightly touched her cheek, where the bone was visible. The evil spirit was lingering on it and was corroding her flesh.

The old nun gritted her teeth and looked around, only to see that the cat had already run to the young man in red and was squatting on the ground, licking its paws and giving her an indifferent look.

The fire in the front yard of the temple was beyond extinguishing. Xu Qing had never put away his qi-reading skills. Those who had committed the evil acts of abortion and infanticide had the aura of unjust death entangled over their heads. Xu Qing never let go of anyone who had these symptoms.

In the end, among the more than 30 people attracted by the night fire, only a few incense masters and two nuns survived.

However, these survivors were also knocked unconscious by Xu Qing and thrown to a place where the fire could not reach.

After this incident, the disciples will come to interrogate them.

The temple keeper watched the huge foundation he had built being destroyed in one day, and his angry eyes seemed to want to eat the man and the cat in front of him alive.

"I have no grudge against you, why are you destroying my family business?"

Xu Qing looked at the trembling old nun and suddenly said, "The child you and the evil spirit gave birth to is in that Infant Locking Pagoda, right?"

"What do you want to do?"

Xu Qing drew out the Sinan sword, shook it a few times, and then stroked the blade gently with one hand in the firelight, as if admiring the long sword in his hand.

"You reap what you sow. When you aborted your baby, did you ever think that someone would kill your child right in front of you one day?"

"I almost forgot, your child seems to be stillborn?" Xu Qing looked at the increasingly unstable old nun and said sinisterly, "But it doesn't matter. I'll just kill him one more time."

After saying that, Xu Qing turned around, holding the sword, and walked towards the tower-like building behind the temple.

The sound of crows was heard in the sky.

Xu Qing was proficient in bird language and knew what the crow's cry meant.

Black Crow said he would keep an eye on the old witch.

But there was no need for it to watch, the temple keeper known as the old witch had already chased after Xu Qing.

The next moment, a black shadow flashed by, its claws piercing through the monk's robe.

The old nun who was chasing her broke her hamstring and fell to the ground.

The old nun still refused to give up. She reached out and broke the string of the Buddhist rosary bracelet. The twelve beads scattered all over the ground. The baby ghosts trapped inside were driven by the ghost mother and attacked Xu Qing one after another.

When the old nun saw those evil ghost babies crashing into Xu Qing's body one by one, her face suddenly showed joy.

However, after a moment, the young man, who had not stopped walking, just burped and spat out a mouthful of thick evil spirit, and there was no other reaction.

The old nun didn't believe in evil, so she chanted the ghost baby spell, but there was no response.

Reciting the Ghost Mother Mantra was still like a stone falling on the sea.

The old nun finally panicked. She stumbled and screamed, "You can't kill my child! My husband is a spirit sent down from the gods, and my child has a divine destiny. You can't kill him!"

Xu Qing turned a deaf ear.

The so-called gods might be able to deceive the old nun in the temple, but they could not hide from his qi-reading skills.

This temple is filled with dark and evil spirits, which can only be caused by evil spirits.

Even if it is a god, it must be evil!
Arriving in front of the Infant Locking Tower, Xu Qing looked up.

The tower was not tall, about three meters high. The tower body was built with bricks, stones and tiles, but there were many strange runes painted on it with human blood. When you got close to it, you could smell a pungent fishy smell.

Xuanyu couldn't help retching. After hesitating for a while, he closed his mouth and nose and followed Xu Qing to the front of the tower.

"Xu Xianjia, do you want to go in?"

"Xuanyu, do you want to go in?" Xu Qing looked down at the cat that was following closely.

"I'll listen to Xu Xianjia." Xuan Yu raised his head, with a spirit of sacrificing his life for a gentleman.

"I don't want to go into a place like this."

A place that even a zombie like him finds dirty must be filthy to a certain extent.

"I don't want to go in either. It's so smelly and dirty in here."

Xu Qing lowered his head and exchanged glances with Xuan Yu, then suddenly suggested, "Since none of us want to go in, why not just push this broken tower down? What do you think?"

Xuan Yu's eyes lit up: "Xu Xian's family is still smart."
