Instinctively exclaiming, what Huang Huai didn't notice was that a divine light flashed in the void and disappeared directly into the finely carved statue of a god the size of a thumb on the bead string he wore all year round on his wrist.
This bead string was accidentally seen by the waiter at Ping'an Inn and was used as a bracelet for incense. The entire bracelet is carved and polished from top-grade rosewood. One of the beads is carved from obsidian and has a lifelike statue of Emperor Guan Sheng. .
As that ray of divine light disappeared into it, the originally lifelike statue of Emperor Guan Sheng seemed to have a little more spirituality.
His mind was shaken, Huang Huai came back to his senses and looked at the statue of Emperor Guan Sheng in front of him, but the previous vision was no longer there. But the phantom of the gods that he saw in a trance just now was like a brand in his heart. He was sure that the phantom of the gods was Emperor Guan Sheng. Everything was so real.
Thinking of the divine light directed at him, Huang Huai felt it carefully, but found nothing.
A gust of wind blew, Huang Huai's mind moved, and the mysterious door disappeared. Standing in front of the statue for a long time, Huang Huai really didn't see any changes.
Thinking of something, Huang Huai took out the incense candle again, lit the candle again as usual, burned the incense and worshiped the gods respectfully.
The candle flames danced, and the sacred incense emitted a misty aroma. However, there was nothing unusual this time. Both the candle and the sacred incense burned slowly as usual.
After experiencing the strange burning of incense candles and the phantom of Guan Sheng Emperor he saw in a trance, Huang Huai was certain that the statue of Guan Sheng Emperor had undergone changes that he was not aware of. He only blamed himself for his attitude toward this world, especially for everyone. I don’t even have a superficial understanding of the statues enshrined there.
Perhaps if you were a cultivator, you would definitely know why the statue of Guan Sheng Emperor had such a strange phenomenon.
I secretly made up my mind to find a way to get in touch with the world of practice as soon as possible, even if it was just to understand some basic common sense.
Huang Huai couldn't wait for any changes for a while, so he bowed to the statue of Emperor Guan Sheng and turned around to pack up his place.
It's useless to rush things like this. You have to settle down in this world first, so that you can have enough time and energy to explore the secrets of this world.
Huang Huai closed the courtyard door and walked out of the alley. When he came, he had already observed that there were not many households in the alley, only three families in total, and his house was located at the end of the alley.
With a creak, Huang Huai saw the door of the residence at the entrance of the alley suddenly open, and a figure was about to come out. He happened to see Huang Huai, and was slightly startled, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.
This is a woman, at most twenty years old, with good looks. However, Huang Huai only glanced at it and then looked away. He nodded slightly at the other party and explained: "This girl, I am a new resident. , it’s the one at the end of the alley.”
Hearing that Huang Huai was a new resident in the alley, the vigilance in the woman's eyes dissipated a bit, and she nodded towards Huang Huai.
At this moment, a violent coughing sound came from the yard behind the woman, and then a slightly hoarse and out of breath voice came: "Girl, who is this person?"
Huang Huai looked around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue gown with a pale face and an air of elegance. He covered his mouth and nose with one hand and coughed while walking towards the door.
Upon seeing this, the woman hurriedly walked into the yard, supported the middle-aged man and said, "Grandpa, aren't you painting in the study? Why..."
At this time, Tang Yuan had already walked over. Huang Huai looked at the middle-aged man and then at the woman. He was slightly surprised. They looked more like father and daughter. He never expected that they were grandfather and grandson.
Although he had second thoughts, Huang Huai still saluted the middle-aged man and said, "I'm Huang Huai. My residence is at the end of the alley. We are neighbors in the future, so please take care of me."
Tang Yuan glanced at Huang Huai imperceptibly, with a smile on his face and said: "My surname is Tang Mingyuan. Since we are neighbors, we should take care of each other from now on."
Huang Huai smiled and said: "I still need to clean up my residence, so I won't disturb Mr. Tang. After I finish cleaning up my residence, I will choose a good day to formally visit Mr. Tang."
Watching Huang Huai's figure go away, the girl helped Tang Yuan back to the study and said, "Grandpa, that man..."
Tang Yuan smiled fondly and said: "Silly girl, how can there be so many evil people!"
Tang Lin blushed and her eyes naturally fell on a painting on the table. Tang Lin looked a little surprised after just one glance.
On the painting, a phantom of a god stands in the void of the nine heavens. It has red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, a silk scarf on its head, a big knife in its hand, and its eyes are slightly closed. Perhaps it is the old man's exquisite skills in painting the portrait of the god that are so lifelike, or maybe It was the portrait of the god that had its own supreme power, and Tang Lin felt a surge of divine power coming towards her face.
"Grandpa, what you drew is..."
Tang Yuan looked at the vivid portraits of gods on the table and said slowly: "This is a supreme and holy existence with the status of an emperor!"
"Ah, this...the god in this painting is actually an existence with the status of an emperor!"
Amid the exclamation, Tang Lin couldn't help but stare at the portrait carefully, and suddenly frowned and said, "Grandpa, that's not right. I have seen so many statues of gods, and all of them were filled with divine light, but I have never seen such an emperor as this one." Normally, his eyes are slightly drooped and closed, but I feel that if this emperor opens his eyes, he will definitely look different!"
However, it was said that Huang Huai made a large purchase in various markets. It was not until the evening that he sent away the merchants who helped deliver the goods. Huang Huai breathed a sigh of relief and began to sort out the purchased things and place them in the statue of Guan Sheng Emperor. In that side room.
As night fell, Huang Huai was ready to put away his things and return to the present world. On the one hand, he bought some things, but on the other hand, the main thing was that this place was still in a mess. Nothing had been sorted out, not even a place to sleep.
The lamps were beating, candlelight was shining in all directions through the broken windows, the night wind was blowing, and the leaves were rustling. At this time, looking at the dilapidated yard under the night, it actually gave people an inexplicable feeling of desolation.
Here Huang Huai is packing things in the room. Under the water well under the pavilion in the yard, in the cave on the wall of the well, He Yuan, who has been digesting blood food with his legs crossed, finally opens his eyes with a satisfied look on his face, looking at the lifelike things in front of him. The naked ghost-faced Yaksha God, who was like a true god, couldn't help but smile with pride: "I'll plunder a few more people for blood food today, and I'll be able to fulfill my full mission."
Thinking about how I had knelt in front of the Dahe Gate for three days and three nights in order to impress the God of the Dahe Gate to accept me, but I had passed out and died in the heavy rain. When I woke up, I found that I had been abandoned in the city. Mass grave outside.
He hated, hated those high gods, why they could look down on all living beings from high above, but he could only be an ant.
Since then, he has tried his best to find a way to practice, and even slowly got to know a few people who had experienced the same thing as him.
Fortunately, they were lucky enough to rob a tomb and dig out a cultivator's underground palace. After nine deaths, he was able to bring out a cultivation method from the underground palace.
Relying on that method of cultivation, he has become what he is today.
In the midst of his emotions, He Yuan subconsciously touched the jade Ruyi the size of a baby's palm that he wore on his chest. It was this jade that he risked his life to bring out from the underground palace, which contained a spiritual practice. Fa's jade Ruyi changed his destiny.
After calming down, He Yuan stood up, and with a thought, he took the naked ghost-faced Yaksha into his body, left the cave, and appeared at the mouth of the well silently.
