Chapter 228

Earth Store Bodhisattva King?

Tan Wenbin subconsciously cast his gaze towards the front depths. So, the boy's current performance is because he encountered his former old leader after job-hopping again?

Immediately, Tan Wenbin lowered his head to look below. If Earth Store Bodhisattva King is here, then the bridge he is currently stepping on isn't just the legendary Naihe Bridge?

Li Zhuoyuan walked in front of Lin Shuyou, bent his ring finger, and knocked Lin Shuyou on the forehead with his knuckle.

The panic in Lin Shuyou's eyes gradually receded and turned into bewilderment.

Li Zhuoyuan: "Lin Shuyou, differentiate clearly, who exactly you are."

Hearing this, Lin Shuyou's scattered gaze refocused. He grabbed his chest with one hand and propped himself on the ground with the other, gritting his teeth, and slowly stood up.

At this time, although Ayou's face was still full of cold sweat, his overall spirit and energy were quickly returning.

"Xiao Yuan Ge, thank you..."

"You can rely on His power, but you are not His appendage. Otherwise, my team only needs one Official General Leader, not one Lin Shuyou."

"Understood!"

As Lin Shuyou and White Crane Boy became increasingly intimate, they could naturally empathize more and more with each other.

Just now, Lin Shuyou was affected by the boy's emotions, causing his body to appear out of control.

"Continue to advance."

The river water had already pushed itself here. Even if there truly was Earth Store Bodhisattva King presiding in front, they would still have to enter hell.

At the end of the bridge, they didn't see the "Meng Po" in Tan Wenbin's heart and mind, not even a bowl for soup.

Instead, the tail of the bridge directly entered a temple. This was a majestic building, pitch black inside, like a hibernating fierce beast opening its mouth and incorporating the bridge.

Li Zhuoyuan recalled the picture from earlier on the ship looking down from a high place. There was a cluster of buildings below. The temple in his eyes should be the entrance to this building cluster, which is the "big gate."

Old-style residences like to place stone lions and such things at the door to guard the house. Temples are more particular about this, usually allowing you to immediately see the temple guardian statue after entering the temple.

As the five people approached, a Yin wind seemed to blow up from below the canyon. Entering the temple, groups of nether ghost fires appeared out of thin air, beginning to continuously move along the temple's beams and walls.

One could see that many places here had damage traces, as if they had been indiscriminately smashed, but the hand wasn't too heavy.

Above, a plaque hung. There were cracks in the middle of the plaque. When the ghost fire moved past, the words on it could be clearly seen:

"Earth Store Nunnery."

Lin Shuyou rubbed his eyes again. White Crane Boy on his side continuously transmitted discomfort.

Fortunately, he could now suppress the influence of this kind of emotion on himself.

The ghost fire swam to both sides, illuminating the two sides of the empty space, where stone railings were set up. Inside the railings, statue after statue was displayed, four statues on each side.

Each statue's body shape and age were not the same; some were male, some were female.

Tan Wenbin took out a flashlight and shone it carefully, saying doubtfully: "They have a kind of similar feeling..."

Li Zhuoyuan: "The paint material on the stone statues should have fallen off long ago. If the color were still there, it should be easier to see that the 'performers' of these stone statues are not the same, but they are all playing the same person."

Tan Wenbin: "Just like Ayou's opening face?"

Li Zhuoyuan: "Um."

The Jitong's image is not the same, but the opening face makeup effect is still aimed at the same Yin God adult.

Tan Wenbin: "Xiao Yuan Ge, there is a stone stele below each statue here, Yao Wenchang..."

There was a stone stele on each statue. The words on some steles were very blurry, only roughly visible, while some were very clear and could be read through.

The four statues on the left and right were all surnamed Yao, which should be a family inheritance within one surname.

The beginning of the stone stele had a unified format, all saying that a certain person from the Yao family worshipped the gate guardian true monarch and walked in the human world.

Then, various merits of their lifetime were recorded, such as suppressing how many evil spirits and exterminating how many demons. Most were general summaries, and a small part would separately list and describe a specific event.

Lin Shuyou opened his mouth: "When I was young, I followed my grandfather to an old Official General Leader temple in a mountain that was not open to the public. That temple would set up statues for each generation of Jitong after they died, placing them beside that adult, so that they could continue to protect the law after death and enjoy the glory."

"That adult should be in the innermost part?" Tan Wenbin moved the flashlight towards the central position. The flashlight's light intensity was not low, but after the light source hit, it seemed to be swallowed by the darkness of the depths.

Tan Wenbin patted his flashlight and shone it on his own face. When he shone inside again, the surrounding swimming ghost fires suddenly collectively gathered towards the central depths.

The first thing that came into view was a high altar. There was a stone pier on the left and right sides of the altar.

Besides that, the altar was empty, but as the ghost fires moved up, a majestic statue could be seen standing in the air. Different from the eight statues placed outside, this statue was obviously more exquisitely crafted, with more precise details and lifelike features.

Because it stood in the air, all the scenery and set arrangements were also in the air.

One person, with unfolding black double wings on their back, soaring in the clouds, gaze bright, overlooking the multitude of beings below.

When its pupils made contact with the ghost fires, the entire temple instantly became bright.

At first glance, its image was a bit similar to Lei Zhenzi, but it had a human face. From the face to the neck and down to the chest and arms, law patterns were dense, faintly exuding divine power.

Tan Wenbin looked at the statue and then looked at Lin Shuyou.

Because he had not yet digested that part of the power, the patterns on Lin Shuyou's body were very obvious. Their format was actually seven or eight tenths similar to this statue above.

Tan Wenbin: "Ayou, is this your family's boy relative, Black Crane Boy?"

Lin Shuyou opened his mouth wanting to retort, yet didn't know what to say, because he also discovered that the patterns on the statue and the boy's Dharma body were too similar. Every time he opened face, he also drew according to this order.

Yin Meng: "Didn't the stone stele write it? It's called the gate guardian true monarch."

Tan Wenbin: "Then you don't think that the name 'gate guardian true monarch' sounds very similar to 'gate guardian boy'? Gatekeeper boy, guide boy."

Yin Meng did not speak.

Actually, everyone had detected that the furnishings in this temple and the text records on the stone steles were indeed very similar to an Official General Leader temple.

Those eight stone statues were just like eight Jitongs.

Li Zhuoyuan opened his mouth and asked: "Ayou, you said that the attendant Jitong stone statues in the old Official General Leader temple in that mountain, were they just stone statues?"

Lin Shuyou did not dare to conceal anything from Xiao Yuan Ge and replied: "After processing the corpse bones, they will be sealed inside, so that kind of temple is not open to believers, but is supplied by our Official General Leader temples in the world. We will also periodically send disciples from the temple there to study."

Tan Wenbin: "Just your Official General Leader's training class, huh?"

Lin Shuyou: "Um, almost."

Tan Wenbin: "Then inside the stone statues here, are there also sealed corpses?"

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Tan Wenbin: "I'm joking, I don't want to know!"

Cracks first appeared on the statue one by one, then began to fall off, but the falling off position was not bald spots, but a more delicate interior.

The first to fall off completely was the head of the gate guardian true monarch.

Its pupils began to turn, essence light overflowed. Following this, the paint on its hands fell off, and it began to clench its fists. Its body also shook.

"Hua la la... hua la la..."

In an instant, It completely came alive, landing with a "boom."

The black wings behind it swayed, driving away all the dust that had accumulated over the years.

No wonder there were scraping and damaging traces everywhere here. In the long history, It should have awakened this way more than once, and the attached stones on its body were swept out, impacting this temple.

Li Zhuoyuan focused on observing the opponent's wings. He wanted to distinguish whether this one was human or not.

Admittedly, existence that could live this long was destined to evolve into a non-human, non-ghost image, but what the youth wanted to know was whether it was human in its lifetime.

When the wings were swinging, Li Zhuoyuan focused on paying attention to the changes in the other muscles and bones of the body.

If it was born with wings, then the wings and the body's bones and muscles should be more coordinated. However, Li Zhuoyuan did not see this point on this one.

Therefore, these wings were very likely not innate, but transplanted later through some means.

But even so, it was still very shocking, because this kind of transformation was comparable to Runsheng chiseling open sixteen air gates on himself.

At this time, the majestic voice transmitted from its mouth echoed in this temple and finally even spread to outside the bridge, echoing in the canyon below.

"Trespassing on the Bodhisattva's Dharma field, you may know your sin."

Its gaze began to sweep over everyone one by one.

When it saw Yin Meng, It paused for a bit.

Its right hand, which was originally clenched into a fist, slowly loosened at this moment and gradually flattened.

Looking at this posture, it would soon make a "please" gesture.

Very obviously, the Yin family people's ancestral tradition of freeloading was about to be triggered.

Yin Meng also detected this point, because she herself was somewhat accustomed to it.

However, as a Yin family person, being able to receive this kind of "favor" every time made her feel ashamed.

She really wanted to stretch out her finger and point to her own Xiao Yuan Ge: this is the successor of Fengdu Great Emperor.

Every time she, this team's tail, was invited to the head seat, it was equivalent to putting her, this incompetent descendant, in the highest place every time to perform "whipping the corpse."

When she was young, she looked at the travel notes of her ancestors attached in her family genealogy and felt that her ancestors could get courtesy wherever they went and were revered as head seats. She still felt very interesting, even a bit smug.

Looking back now, people just treated the Yin family descendants as a kind of "lucky object" on the dining table.

"Feng..."

Words still unspoken in her throat, Its gaze fell on Lin Shuyou's body.

Its eyebrows deeply furrowed, seemingly with dense bewilderment.

"Thou art..."

Suddenly, the body of the gate guardian true monarch paused. Its originally sharp eyes turned into indifference, and its voice also became gloomy:

"Those who trespass on the Bodhisattva's Dharma field, kill without pardon!"

Words fell, double wings unfolded, figure fiercely rushed down.

When this guy's statue began to fall off, everyone had already arranged the formation, and Li Zhuoyuan had already tied the red string on everyone's body.

Runsheng's air gates opened, and a Yellow River Shovel heavily patted down towards this guy.

"Dang!"

The Yellow River Shovel hit the opponent's wings. These wings were fundamentally not flesh and blood, unusually hard, and shook Runsheng's tiger mouth painfully.

However, Runsheng's reaction was very fast. He immediately pressed down the shovel handle and blocked the opponent in front of himself.

"Bang!"

"Runsheng Ge, don't hold it dead, take it out. The rest, avoid!"

Runsheng's figure slid backwards. The people who were originally hiding behind Runsheng quickly avoided, and even Li Zhuoyuan flipped two circles on the ground.

It was truly rare to see someone that even Runsheng couldn't block.

The sliding was still continuing. Runsheng had already gotten out of the temple and come to the bridge.

The gate guardian true monarch's rushing momentum reduced. Its double wings moved, and its figure continuously reversed, delivering three kicks towards Runsheng.

First kick, Runsheng blocked with the shovel, and the shovel was kicked open; second kick, Runsheng blocked with his arm, and his arm was kicked open; third kick, heavily kicked on Runsheng's chest. Runsheng's figure flew out from the ground, but in midway, he suddenly sank down, landing at the same time letting out a low roar from his throat, stabilizing his figure.

Fresh blood began to overflow from the air gates on his entire body. Obviously, that single kick had already caused Runsheng to receive internal injury.

The gate guardian true monarch stirred its hand backwards while looking at Runsheng, its palm swaying.

A moment later, nothing happened.

The gate guardian true monarch's eyes showed doubt, and it turned back to look.

It saw that a youth was standing on the altar where it had originally stood. Of the two stone piers on the altar, one was already covered with talisman papers, and the other was sealed by the youth with black dog blood symbols.

Under its summon, the two stone piers shook slightly, yet they were always unable to crack open.

Li Zhuoyuan looked at the distant gate guardian true monarch. He didn't know why the opponent didn't take out a weapon at the first moment of revival, but had to wait to rush and hit a bit before beckoning.

Perhaps, only this way, did it conform to Its identity.

But since people gave him this opportunity, he definitely couldn't not appreciate it.

Your weapon, just continue to be sealed here, don't take it.

Runsheng again attacked It with the shovel. The true monarch lifted a wing, blocked the shovel, and then punched Runsheng.

"Bang!"

Runsheng was once again struck flying by the heavy force, but he still landed steadily. Fresh blood overflowed from his body even more.

The gate guardian true monarch's figure flashed and appeared above Runsheng, stomping down heavily with one foot.

Runsheng raised the shovel. With a "weng" sound, his body bore a heavy force, and his knees bent down, but the next moment he straightened up fiercely again. The gate guardian true monarch's body fell and landed lightly.

It had been pressing Runsheng and hitting him, relying on absolute speed and strength. The opponent could only passively defend and bear it.

However, It could feel the opponent's injury worsening again, but his breath was actually continuously elevating.

The two sides collided again. This time, the gate guardian true monarch's force was even heavier, once again striking Runsheng flying, but Runsheng still did not fall. Fresh blood dyed his clothes, but the fierce look in his eyes continued to rise.

This also stimulated the killing aura in his body.

Connected by the red string, Li Zhuoyuan could feel the exuberant rising belief in Runsheng's heart. He was very painful, but he was also very暢快.

This was also the reason why Li Zhuoyuan didn't let others go to help him now. He detected that Runsheng was accumulating momentum, and moreover, there was faintly a sign of breakthrough.

Uncle Qin once personally taught Runsheng the Qin family's dragon viewing body refining method. Uncle Qin was a good teacher, but Runsheng may not have been a good student.

Opening air gates in the flesh was equivalent to elementary school arithmetic. Others were memorizing formulas, while Runsheng was always counting beans. Large amounts could also be counted, because he truly had too many beans.

Finally, after counting for so long, Runsheng began to comprehend the formula himself.

The gate guardian true monarch also seemed not to want to continue to consume with Runsheng. It fanned a wing and rushed towards the temple, wanting to quickly take back its weapon and solve the sinners here.

Yin Meng threw out a poison can wrapped with a demon-whip, and then顺势 pulled it.

Poison fog fell.

The gate guardian true monarch fanned a wing, forming cyclones on both sides, wrapping the poison fog inside. Its own speed was almost not obstructed at all.

But the next moment, a giant eye appeared below its feet, pausing its speed.

Li Zhuoyuan flung his right palm, and two breaking evil talismans flew out, entering the two cyclones respectively.

"Hong!" "Hong!"

The cyclones were exploded open, and the poison fog sprayed out again.

The gate guardian true monarch unfolded its double wings and wrapped itself.

Yin Meng's poison's corrosiveness lost its effect for the first time. Not only did it not penetrate these double wings, but it was more like it had given Its double wings a layer of wax,泛 up a black shiny gloss.

These double wings were really useful. However, everything has two sides. Li Zhuoyuan discovered that although It had wings and could defend and accelerate its figure, it was unable to support It flying too high.

Yin Meng saw the situation and still wanted to continue throwing poison cans.

A voice transmitted from the bottom of her heart: "Stop!"

Yin Meng immediately withdrew her hand.

Although Yin Meng's poison mixture might scrape out miraculous effects, in normal combat, one could not put hope on that unknown probability.

Since the effect had already been proven not good, it was better to save the poison first and not waste it.

"Binbin Ge, up."

"Ayou, try to start Jitong."

After avoiding the poison fog, the gate guardian true monarch opened its wings and came towards the altar.

Tan Wenbin stood below the altar, stabbing the two array flags into the ground with both hands. The two godsons on his shoulders began to用力 clap.

"Dong!"

A ghost wall appeared.

In reason, setting up a ghost wall in this situation was very adventurous. In case this guy had the same vertical pupil as White Crane Boy, then setting up this ghost wall would be equivalent to not setting it up.

But this was also what Li Zhuoyuan deliberately did. He noticed that after the gate guardian true monarch awakened, there was a moment of consciousness switch. At first, It still wanted to invite Yin Meng to the head seat.

The gate guardian true monarch's gaze earlier was sharp, seemingly having the ability to see through illusions, but there was no reason why your eyes could still remain transparent when your own mind was confused.

Sure enough, the gate guardian true monarch's steps stopped. It had lost its sense of direction.

Anger floated on Its face, angry at why It would be confused by this kind of low-level illusion method.

"Hey, unexpectedly really effective."

Tan Wenbin simply followed the rhythm of the two godsons and clapped together, like playing a parent-child game in this阴森森 temple.

Unfortunately, this kind of father-son warmth did not last too long.

The gate guardian true monarch opened its mouth, and a shriek issued from its throat. This厉啸 voice caused the two godsons on Tan Wenbin's shoulders to painfully cover their ears.

The plaque hanging above was from Earth Store Nunnery. A god statue that could fall here naturally had extremely strong restraint on ghosts.

Lin Shuyou was still trying to start Jitong. In the past, he could already glare his eyes and the boy could descend, but after passing that bridge, this kind of tacit understanding seemed to have disappeared.

Ayou was very anxious, constantly shaking his palms and stamping his feet, but just couldn't succeed.

Runsheng had already caught up at this time, swinging the Yellow River Shovel.

The gate guardian true monarch unfolded its double wings from behind.

"Bang!"

This time, the gate guardian true monarch still blocked Runsheng's accumulated force strike with its wings, but Its figure trembled a bit because of it.

This meant that the person behind it was injured, but his strength had become greater.

The true monarch ignored Runsheng and continued forward, pouncing straight at the altar.

"Binbin Ge, retreat."

Tan Wenbin did not hesitate and flashed away from below the altar.

Li Zhuoyuan's right palm appeared an array flag emitting pottery light, planning to block the opponent's pounce with an array method.

The situation that appeared with Lin Shuyou was something Li Zhuoyuan had already calculated. He also did not include Ayou in this round's combat plan.

Looking at the situation now, although this gate guardian true monarch was powerful, it was still within a controllable range. Their side would be a bit狼狈 in the process, but the final winner would still be themselves.

However, changes outside of Li Zhuoyuan's calculations still appeared.

Fortunately, it did not belong to the bad side.

People are forced out. Lin Shuyou just ate a big gift package and was really unable to accept himself just fizzling out at a key moment.

He could understand the boy's concerns and panic, yet he couldn't accept it.

He only heard Lin Shuyou roar angrily: "If It is real, then you are fake!"

The next moment, the vertical pupil opened, and Jitong was successfully started!

In the past, after Lin Shuyou started Jitong, he spoke and acted like the boy, but this time, Lin Shuyou's tone was issued from his own mouth again after starting Jitong:

"If It dies, then even if you are fake, that is real!"

White Crane Boy, holding a trident, directly appeared below the altar, blocking the gate guardian true monarch.

"Evil god, only kill not ferry~"

There is still one chapter during the day, supplementing tonight's word count, begging for monthly tickets!
