Chapter 126 Scarlet Temple

The documents in the file bag were dumped on the coffee table, and some photos were mixed with them, which looked very eerie and weird.

"Ah, what kind of photos are these? It looks like a murder scene." Zhen Qingyi exclaimed in a low voice.

"This is a small village in Nanyang. In the forest behind the village, there is a temple named Amanda. The mysterious Master Puzan practiced in this temple." Mr. Lai picked out a photo.

"The layout of this temple looks very familiar." I reached out and took the photo, which was a distant view.

The source of the photo should be a candid shot, surrounded by half-person-high bushes, and the side angle was chosen, but the blood-red temple was captured very completely by the camera.

"Remember, the collapsed ancient temple in Quanwa Village has the same layout." I slapped my legs, and except for the different colors, the two temples have the same layout.

"What Quanwa Village, have you seen the temple in the photo?" Zhen Qingyi looked at the photo sideways and asked suspiciously.

I briefly introduced to you the last time I went to Quanwa Village, focusing on the old monk in the story.

"I didn't expect Puzan to have such a complicated background." After hearing this, Mr. Lai said with emotion.

"Whatever his background is, I don't believe it. If you cut off the head of that thief monk, he can still survive." Lang Xingsong slapped the coffee table hard.

"Uncle, this is a red sandalwood coffee table from the Ming Dynasty, very expensive." Lang Ying reminded carefully.

"What red sandalwood and black sandalwood, don't think that you will gain knowledge after becoming the president of Naluoshizi." Lang Xingsong blew his beard and stared.

"It's okay if the coffee table is broken, but I'm afraid that the tea will be spilled and burn everyone." Mr. Lai quickly jumped out to smooth things over.

Lang Ying poked Zhen Qingyi's arm, and behind her uncle's back, she secretly made a face, and the two women got together, whispering small things.

"I don't recognize any bird characters written in this newspaper." Lang Xingsong picked up an old newspaper on the coffee table.

"It was a news report. In that small village called Gumai, a disease broke out in the whole village, and all the people in the village died." Mr. Lai introduced.

"Where is it a ghost village now?" I frowned, thinking of Majia Village.

"That's not true. The local government has relocated some villagers from surrounding villages and added them to Gumai Village." Mr. Lai shook his head.

"What's going on with this photo, the mummy is hanging on the tree, no one cares?" I took another photo.

"This is exactly what I want to introduce. Hanging mummies on trees is an evil ritual in Nanyang. Once strangers approach, those mummies will wake up." Mr. Lai took out a few photos and put them on the coffee table lined up.

In every photo, there is a mummy in a distorted posture. Looking at the empty eyes and wide open mouth, I have a hairy feeling in my heart.

"My friend took a lot of effort to take these photos. There are such mummified corpses hanging around the temple." Mr. Lai said.

"How different are these mummies from our zombies?" I stared at the photo, trying to judge the strength of these mummies.

"It's much harder to deal with than zombies. These dry corpses are filled with poisonous insects, and they are also cursed." Mr. Lai introduced in a solemn tone.

"The evil monk Gou Ri is really afraid of death." Lang Xingsong frowned and muttered.

"These are just the outer layout of the temple. As for the danger inside, no one knows." Mr. Lai sighed.

My face is serious, some sorcery in Nanyang can ignore the limitation of distance, the evil monk hides in the temple, and all kinds of weird methods make people hard to guard against.

"I have to find a way to lure him out." I muttered to myself.

"It's unlikely. According to my friend, that Grandmaster Puzan always sent his disciples to help him. He hasn't stepped out of the temple for many years." Mr. Lai poured cold water on him.

"I'm afraid of a bird, Yingzi, please make arrangements. I'm going to Nanyang to praise Puzan." Lang Xingsong has a hot temper.

"Uncle, that's his territory, you are always so impulsive in doing things." Lang Yingying was a little bit suspicious.

"Yingzi, please remember one thing, the fame of our family protecting the veins is not given away, it is earned by punching and kicking." Lang Xingsong said proudly.

"Uncle Lang is right. Since you can't hide, I'll go with you." Inspired, I stood up and said.

"What are you impulsive about? Sit down first. Even if you have to go, you have to make a careful plan." Zhen Qingyi pulled my arm hard.

"Everyone, don't get excited, that friend of mine revealed an important news." Mr. Lai pulled out a piece of paper.

"Who can understand the bird characters, just tell me, what is the important news?" Lang Xingsong said impatiently.

"Next week, the International Red Cross will go to Gumai Village to conduct a routine inspection of epidemic prevention and control. This is an opportunity." Mr. Lai said slowly.

"Nanyang is very exclusive. A village is like a closed kingdom. If you take this opportunity to surprise Puzan by surprise, the chance of success will be much higher." Lang Ying analyzed from the side.

"That's it. It's settled. You must not be lazy when you do things." Lang Xingsong waved his hand and made a decision.

"I'll go there this time too. After it's done, I hope Brother Zhang and Brother Lang will also do me a favor." Mr. Lai stood up and said.

"Everyone has been friends for many years, I will definitely help you with your affairs." Lang Xingsong said with a face of loyalty.

"In this case, let's make an appointment and set off together." It's my first time traveling far, so I have to make some preparations.

"Yingzi, take me to the place where you found the emerald Buddha last time." Lang Xingsong walked outside the door, seeming to remember something, and said to his niece sideways.

"There is a curse on that Buddha statue, you have to be careful." I reminded worriedly, thinking of the weird curse spirit.

"It's for the curse spirit, to deal with that evil monk, the curse spirit can act as a surprise weapon." Lang Xingsong smiled slyly.

"Be careful driving at night." Mr. Lai stood in front of the door and saw him off.

When I went back, Zhen Qingyi was worried about my health and took the initiative to be the driver.

I sat in the co-pilot's seat, closed my eyes, and felt the new changes in my body after the opening of the third hexagram.

"You just broke through, do you feel uncomfortable?" Zhen Qingyi asked with concern.

"The condition is very good, and my perception is much sharper. I can even smell which perfume you are wearing today." I said half jokingly, half seriously.

"It's too dangerous to go to Nanyang this time, should I tell my second uncle?" Zhen Qingyi said worriedly.

I was silent for a while, then shook my head, "Don't talk about it, the situation in Nanyang is unknown, don't bring the second uncle into it."

"I'll go with you, there is a care." Zhen Qingyi said softly.

"You still have to take care of old sister Xu. Uncle Lang and Mr. Lai are both experts. I'll be fine." How could I let Zhen Qingyi take part in such a dangerous operation.

"Nanyang has high mountains and dense forests. In the past few days, I will prepare some secret medicine for you." Zhen Qingyi said decisively.

"You take me back to the store directly. It's only a few days away. You have to hurry up and make some preparations." I opened my eyes.

After opening the third hexagram, I can now learn some of the more advanced secret methods in the Broken Physiognomy Sutra.

Zhen Qingyi is not a little girl who loves her sons and daughters. She knew that time was precious, so she threw me at the door of the shop, said good night, and drove away.

I went back to the bedroom on the second floor, took out the broken book from under the pillow, and turned to the middle part.

"Tales, seals, implements, formations, I should be able to learn some simple seals now." I muttered to myself.

The "seal" recorded in the Broken Xiangjing is a mysterious technique to mobilize the energy of the earth veins, strengthen oneself, and kill the enemy.

"It's a pity that the scriptures are so incomplete, and many profound secret methods are missing." I flipped through the few "seal" methods.

The "seal" in the scriptures has very high requirements for the spirit. If I didn't open the third hexagram, I wouldn't even be able to perform the most basic seal.

"Let's start with the simplest seal of expelling evil spirits." I sat cross-legged on the bed, and according to the introduction in the scriptures, I put my hands in a strange posture.

Practicing Yin Dharma is a very boring thing, which requires constant attempts, and may not succeed every time.

I have been practicing until my eyelids can't be opened, and I finally increased the success rate of the simplest expelling evil seal to about [-]%.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was already high, so I ate something casually and continued to practice Yin Dharma.

As time passed, I opened my eyes, moved my arms, and let out a long breath, "Huh, I finally learned the Quxie Seal completely."

According to the introduction in the Broken Physiognomy, the seal of dispelling evil spirits can induce the qi of the earth veins, protect the acupoints all over the body, and resist evil spirits and curses.

I have Yanghuo body protection, and I am not very afraid of ordinary evil spirits, but Nanyang's spells are mostly mysterious and curse-type. After learning the seal of dispelling evil spirits, it can relieve me a lot of pressure.

After taking a break, I took out the broken scriptures again, and looked at the printing methods behind.

"Earth fire seal can stimulate the earth fire and kill evil spirits. This is much more powerful than ordinary talisman paper." A gleam of joy flashed in my eyes.

As the enemies I encountered became more and more powerful, I gradually discovered that those ordinary talisman papers can only be used as auxiliary means. If I want to defeat the enemy, I need to learn more powerful means.

The difficulty of practicing the Earth Fire Seal is several times higher than that of the Quxie Seal, and it is not suitable for practicing at home. I thought about it, Fatty Wang has a small courtyard in his home, which is very suitable for practicing the Earth Fire Seal.

I took out my mobile phone and called Fatty Wang. This guy is very sleepy. At this point, he is probably taking a nap at home.

Sure enough, after the call was connected, Fatty Wang's voice was a little confused, and he muttered on the other end, saying that he had just dreamed of dating a beautiful woman and was woken up by me.

"It's also strange. Recently, I haven't dreamed of the old monk chanting scriptures." Fatty Wang said in a daze.

I fell silent, and after a long time, I sighed softly, said that the old monk would not recite scriptures in the future, and then hung up the phone.
