Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

A horse-drawn carriage carrying people happened to pass by, and the wheel got stuck at the broken part, causing the carriage to overturn and be in danger of falling into the river.

This carriage was not used by wealthy families for travel, but was used to transport landless people to go out and make a living.

The car was full of people, which might have been the reason why the wooden planks were broken.

Those who had not yet entered the bridge quickly retreated, shouting in panic, "Be careful!"

The coachman shouted:

"What are you still standing there for? Get out of the car quickly or you might fall into the river! The water is more ferocious than a water ghost, no one can save you!"

The people on the carriage began to file down and fled in panic. Their movements exacerbated the tilt of the carriage. There was another "crack" sound, and several wooden boards broke. The carriage and horses were about to fall into the rolling water below.

At the critical moment, a man in black robe appeared out of nowhere, his feet firmly standing on the iron chain. He reached down and the carriage was grabbed back by the big hand of Gangqi and put back on the ground.

There were a few people who were unlucky and had fallen into the water. Yun Qingying cast a spell to freeze this small section of the river, and the people who fell into the water were stuck between the ice layers. Chu Wuzhi reached out and grabbed them one after another, like catching fish, and quickly rescued all the people who fell into the water.

The people on both sides of the chain bridge were still stunned. It all happened too fast!

When they came to their senses and were about to shout out their gratitude, Chu Wuzhi had already disappeared on the iron chain and flew away with Yun Qingying.

"Huh? Where are those two gods, a man and a woman, from earlier? Are you dazzled?"

"It shouldn't be an illusion, otherwise how could this carriage fly up out of thin air? I even saw a giant translucent hand!"

"The river also suddenly froze over. It never freezes here year-round!"

After all, it was just a trivial matter, so Chu Wuji and Yun Qingying were too lazy to say anything big like "No need to thank me, take care everyone."

Perhaps because of the tragic situation they had just encountered, the brother and sister on the cloud fell silent, and there was no more laughing or chatting for a long time afterwards.

I can't muster that mood, and occasionally I just sigh once or twice.

After flying for a while, Bai Sujin reminded:

"We're almost there. It's right in front. If we turn a little to the right, we'll be able to fly directly to the remains of the White Snake Temple. I wonder if it's collapsed."

The word "relics" really made Chu Wuji feel helpless.

Although that incident did not happen and he could not be picked up by the White Snake Mother, he still felt angry and unwilling about the fate of his elders.

The green snake aunt no longer hid in Chu Wuzhi's sleeves. She crawled out directly, wrapped herself around the young man's neck, straightened her body and looked around.

At this distance now, I can roughly see the situation of the villages and towns over there with my naked eyes.

My aunt exclaimed, "Wow! How did it really become so desolate? It's like a remote and desolate village. It's like we've suddenly returned to three hundred years ago!"

Chu Wuzhi turned his arm and gently stroked the delicate head of the white snake mother through his sleeve. The white snake spit out its tongue and licked Chu Wuzhi's fingers, responding to his son's comforting affection and indicating that it was fine.

Bai Sujin suddenly said, "There seems to be a bloody smell of death. I can smell it from such a distance. What happened?"

Chapter 231 First Visit to the White Snake Temple

The strong smell of blood was indeed a cause for concern, but Chu Wuji and Yun Qingying did not change their route because of it.

We are almost at the White Snake Temple, and we have to take a look at it first. In a sense, this is Chu Wuji's "ancestral home" and the place where the White Snake Mother and the Green Snake Aunt made their fortune.

Chu Wuzhi had no mercy or compassion at all towards the plight of the people here. What did the death of a few people, in the bloody atmosphere, have to do with him?

Even if there is a vicious beast roaming around and hurting people, as long as the beast does not provoke him, he will not pay any attention to it.

It’s a very simple sentence: let go of the desire to help others and respect the local destiny.

"What are these idiots doing here worshipping?" Chu Wuzhi frowned, looking at the front of the dilapidated temple with confusion and dissatisfaction.

For some unknown reason, a group of people with dirty faces gathered in the open space in front of the White Snake Temple, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to worship.

They found the incense burner from the Buddhist altar, placed it on the ground, lit a few large incense sticks, and first said some words of apology. Then a group of people confessed their crimes and talked about their crimes of disrespecting the White Snake Temple in the past.

"White Snake Immortal, please come back!"

"The people of the surrounding area have turned over a new leaf. Back then, they were bewitched by the evil monk's lies and were momentarily confused!"

"We have been punished and suffered for over a decade. Please, Immortal White Snake, show some mercy and forgive the people of Diaolongkou!"

A rough estimate shows that there are hundreds of people kneeling in front of the White Snake Temple, and some of them should have just left. Many footprints and kneeling marks can be seen in the open space around it. There are probably thousands of people kneeling here.

Chu Wuji and Yun Qingying looked at each other in confusion. As they were first-time visitors, they couldn't understand the situation.

Kneeling down and worshipping in front of a long-abandoned temple? What are you worshipping?

The Fox Goddess was surprised and said jokingly:

"I can't believe that this temple has been abandoned for so many years, and people are still worshipping and praying here~"

Yun Qingying was also surprised:

"Ordinary rural temples mostly worship local heroes and celebrities. Did Madam Bai, as a demon, earn such a high reputation back then?"

Even though Yun Qingying has come into contact with all kinds of things beyond the mundane world, she still generally feels that the demon race needs to be feared and guarded against. However, beings like Baihu Shanjun and Bai Sujin should be treated as "extreme" cases.

In the mission hall of the Shenxiao Sect, many of the sect disciples coming in and out are here to eliminate demons and ghosts. The topics they discuss are mostly about the thrilling dangers during battles, and they exchange experiences with each other.

It is precisely because of this that it is so difficult for great monsters like Bai Sujin to gain a foothold!

A single evil thought from them could cause blood to flow for a hundred miles, and an occasional impulsive temper could easily lead to the destruction of countless lives, but they did not do so.

Bai Sujin even had a temple built for her in her early years!

Aunt Green Snake sneered repeatedly and spat in disdain:

"The cat cries over the rat, it's just fake mercy. If I hadn't seen how these people behaved back then, I would have been fooled!"

Bai Sujin, the victim, now had to appease her companions. She smiled helplessly and said:

"Alright, alright~ It's been so many years since the incident. Why are you so angry and ruining the good mood we've had along the way?"

Chu Wuji took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said:

"Can you hide yourself for a bit? We can just wander around the temple. I guess there's nothing left. We'd better take a look."

"Okay, brother, come closer to me, otherwise half of your body will be exposed. I haven't mastered this spell yet. I just put it aside to practice other things."

After Yun Qingying gave her instructions, a layer of hazy mist rose up, covering the brother and sister.

The clouds slowly landed in front of the entrance of the White Snake Temple, and Chu Wuzhi and Yun Qingying walked into the temple.

The White Snake Temple is not big, about the size of a normal civilian house, but now it is empty, with broken corners, piles of thatch, and a lot of small animal feces.

Not to mention the broken statues, even the altars had been moved away. It was even worse than those dilapidated temples on the roadside.

There wasn't even a small dark compartment here. Chu Wuji had slowed down his pace and wasn't walking fast, but he still finished reading everything in one go.

"Mother and aunt, did they spend their long years of cultivation here..." He was filled with emotion.

Chu Wuji had an urge to help his mother Bai Sujin build a bigger temple, but then he remembered that she probably didn't like her identity as the "White Snake Immortal" back then, and his aunt Green Snake might even scold him, "You might as well build a bigger toilet."

Bai Sujin did not avoid it. Her mood was very peaceful and calm. Instead, she found a smile in her memories and said:

"Back then, Xiaoqing transformed herself into my temple guardian girl, guarding here. Every day, she would pretend to be lazy and yawn here with a broom."

Aunt Green Snake curled her lips, she burrowed back into Chu Wuji's sleeve and wrapped herself around the "branch" again, and replied unhappily:

"What's so funny about this..."

White Snake was used to her sister's temperament, so she comforted her in a gentle voice:

"Don't deny the happiness of the past because of what happened later. At least those years when we sisters sat on the steps in front of the temple, looking at the night sky and chatting together, were still very happy and joyful, right?"

"This is indeed a happy thing, I don't deny it..."

After Aunt Green Snake said this, she lightly bit Chu Wuzhi, and then acted as if she had vented her anger and was no longer irritable and angry.

Chu Wuji felt helpless in his heart, wondering if he had become his aunt's "teething stick"? He would be bitten for no reason.

Because there are very few places to visit in the White Snake Temple, I walked around it twice and there was nothing left to see.

The brother and sister walked out of the White Snake Temple, walked around the kneeling crowd, and moved to confirm the source of the bloody smell.

Before Yun Qingying set out, she heard her master mention some information about the White Snake Temple. She said:

"This place is probably under the control of a Buddhist temple right now. I heard that even the farmland has been merged into the temple's property, and the people have become hired farmhands. That bloody smell must be related to the Buddhist temple."

"Could it be that the people's kneeling in worship at the White Snake Temple angered the Buddhist monks, leading to their beating and punishment?" The Fox Goddess was very curious and wanted to run faster to take a look, but she was too lazy to go out and walk around herself.

The "mount" girl has a good spiritual vein talent, and the Sky Fox Goddess is happy to stay in Yun Qingying's body.

Aunt Green Snake expressed great doubt, her tone was disdainful:

"If they dare to kneel before the White Snake Temple despite the monks' threats to kill them, then I will still look up to them!"

Soon, the brother and sister arrived at the scene of the crime and saw a pile of corpses. These were the bodies of monks who had been dead for several days. Flies gathered, the blood had dried up, and there was a faint smell of decay.

Looking into the distance, Chu Wuji noticed a temple on a low hill. That was where the smell of blood was the strongest, and the walls were stained red.

If there were still living monks here, they would certainly help collect the bodies and clean up the mess, but this place still retains its original appearance after the incident, and no one comes to take care of it.

The only explanation is that all the monks are dead!

Chu Wuji's train of thought didn't come to his senses immediately. He was stunned for a few moments and said in astonishment:

"No, that temple was massacred?!"

Yun Qingying's eyesight was sharper, and she noticed that many big trees on the roadside of this village had red rope Buddha amulets hanging on them.

These are some arrangements of formations to exorcise evil spirits, and the amulets all have a magical aura.

"This temple is powerful. Even if the locals riot, they can't threaten the monks. Who is responsible for this?"

Aunt Green Snake started to feel depressed again. She said incredulously:

"Who is so wicked? We came all the way here to settle accounts, and now the monks here have been slaughtered. How can we settle the accounts?"

Chu Wuji scratched the back of his head in pain. He also felt that this matter was outrageous. How could his revenge be intercepted by others?

If he had walked straight ahead instead of taking such a long detour on his way, he might have arrived in time before the monk was attacked and killed - and he would have been the one to do it.

At the very least, I can meet the attacker and see who did it. We are so like-minded.

He bent his wrist and put his finger to Aunt Green Snake's mouth to vent her anger. Aunt Green Snake was not polite to him and bit it decisively. However, she was a little excited and accidentally bit it and made it bleed.

When the green snake saw the blood oozing out of her head, she was stunned. She hurriedly glanced at the sleeve on the other side and found that the white snake was staring at her silently.

The green snake quickly licked off the blood beads and used the forked tongue to flexibly block the wound, and it healed soon.

Chu Wuji smiled secretly. It didn't hurt much, but it was still quite interesting to see Aunt Qingshe shrinking her head in shame.

"Let's go to that temple first. Maybe the Heavenly Fox Goddess can reconstruct the murderer's traces."

Chapter 232 Hei Sujin...?

It is early spring now, but the spring chill is still there, so the corpse is not seriously decomposed.

The two young siblings in black walked side by side up the stone steps on the hill to check if there were any more clues or information along the way.

"It was a demon that attacked, and there was a strong demonic aura." Aunt Green Snake said.

It was a bit strange for a snake demon like her to say this, but she didn't know how to complain.

Chu Wuji kept his pace, taking smaller steps because the large chopping board hung diagonally from his lower back. The mountain path was narrow, and if he took any bigger steps, the chopping board would hit Yun Qingying. It might not knock her down, but it would definitely hit her perky buttocks.

Then she will have a cold face again.

Chu Wuji speculated, "Could it be that this temple has offended some other powerful demon, causing it to seek revenge?"

Yun Qingying had similar thoughts. She nodded gently, covering her nose to avoid the smell of blood.

"It's possible. If it was a large demon that killed people indiscriminately, the people living below the mountain would definitely be killed for fun. But now, the dead are all monks, and the target of revenge is too clear."

This is true.

Chu Wuji suddenly discovered that this demon tribe also had hidden dragons and crouching tigers. He could slaughter an entire temple at will.

As for the corpses of the monks at the foot of the mountain, their muscles were strong and well-proportioned. Judging from the perspective of private soldiers, this was an elite force. The local government probably didn't dare to touch the temple and could only seek reinforcements from their superiors.

Yun Qingying suddenly stopped, but Chu Wuzhi didn't notice and continued walking forward. As a result, the chopping board really hit the girl's elastic curves.

The girl turned her head to look at him, while Chu Wuzhi looked confused, as if he had just been distracted. Seeing his confused expression, Yun Qingying didn't say anything.

Although she was very serious, she would not care if Chu Wuzhi did not mean it.
