At night, the south wind blows, and the bright moon hangs over the tall buildings.
The gongs and drums inside and outside the capital city of Buyeo were noisy and the lights were brightly lit.
Groups of soldiers opened the city gates and headed towards the Tianxian Temple outside the city.
The Tianxian Temple is located not far outside the city gate. It is tall, majestic and powerful.
From behind, someone shouted loudly: "Bring out the boys and girls!"
Ten pairs of boys and girls dressed in white robes and dressed up sat on the wooden platform and were carried by a group of strong men to the Tianxian Temple.
Behind Xingzhu was a group of men, women and children, walking in silence.
Behind them, there were still many people crying and crying, but they were stopped by soldiers and refused to leave the city.
Soon, the boys and girls were carried into the main hall of Tianxian Temple, and pigs, sheep, sacrifices, sweet wine, fragrant flowers, candles, etc. were placed in front of the offering table.
On the front of the altar table was a golden tablet with the inscription "Jie Jiao Yi Qi Immortal", and behind it was a clay statue of a gold-lacquered god. It looked short in stature, with a green face and fangs, but nothing else.
When everything was arranged, everyone kowtowed to the tablet and said: "I respectfully ask the Supreme Immortal Jiejiao Yiqi. This year, this month, today, and this time, all the believers in Fuyu will follow the old customs and offer ten boys, ten girls, and pigs." There are many sheep and meat, and they are presented to the immortals for enjoyment.
May the gods bless my country, Fuyu, with good weather and peace for the country and the people. "
After praying and blessing, everyone burned incense and kowtowed, and soon the water receded, leaving only a pile of sacrifices including those boys and girls.
These boys and girls are only five or six years old and don’t understand anything yet.
I didn't think it was a big deal in the bustle before, but now I saw the adults leaving, leaving me alone, and I immediately started crying.
A human voice sounded: "Why are you crying? You're making a lot of noise! If you cry again, I'll send you all to feed the monsters!"
The children were startled by the sound. When they opened their eyes, they saw a tall, dignified-looking young man appearing in the hall. He suddenly started wailing at the top of his lungs.
Twenty children cried and howled together, and the sound was so loud that it made people's eardrums almost burst.
The young man rolled his eyes, but finally couldn't hold it back. He reached out and took out a palm-sized treasure palace, and took in all the twenty boys and girls.
The Tianxian Temple instantly became quiet.
The young man took out his ears and sighed sincerely: "Sure enough, we still need to be cleaner."
This young man is naturally Yu Yuan.
After collecting the boys and girls, he stretched out his hand and the incense burner and other tablets on the altar table all rolled down. Even the clay statue of the god with gold paint fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
He sat down on it himself.
[Absorb the incense and will power of the people of Buyeo: Spirit -12, Will -13, Soul Power -11]
"Bah! The stuff created by Western religions is indeed not a good thing!"
At this moment, the sound of whistling wind was heard outside the temple.
Immediately afterwards, a black wind swept into the temple.
After the wind stopped, a middle-aged Taoist with a height of less than five feet, as fat as a ball, with red hair and a blue face appeared. He was wearing a water and fire Taoist robe. His big copper bell-like eyes swept around, and finally landed on Yu. Yuan body.
"Where did the wild fairy dare to steal my master's incense?"
Yu Yuan glanced at the man, "Are you talking to me?"
The middle-aged Taoist was stunned for a moment, then suppressed his anger and said, "Let me ask you, where did the boys and girls dedicated by Fuyu Kingdom go?"
Yu Yuan smiled and said two words: "Guess."
"I……"
The middle-aged Taoist's anger welled up, "Look, you are just a Xuanxian, and you dare to act recklessly here! Do you know who my master is? I'll scare you if I tell you. He is a disciple of the leader of Jie Jiao, a Qi Xian That’s right! Those who have sense should quickly hand over the boy and girl, otherwise..."
"Wait a minute!"
Yu Yuan stood up and walked to the middle-aged Taoist, looking down at him condescendingly: "Is your master a Qi Immortal from Jie Jiao?"
The middle-aged Taoist nodded proudly, "Exactly!"
"What a coincidence." Yu Yuanle said: "Master, I also call you Qi Xian. Please kneel down and kowtow twice to me. I will forgive you for the previous offense."
"What a wild fairy! How dare you pretend to be my master to entertain me!"
The middle-aged Taoist man was furious, and a big hand suddenly stretched out from behind his head, with five long and sharp fingers, grabbing at Yu Yuan like vines.
"boom!"
A dull crash sounded.
A large human-shaped hole suddenly appeared on the wall of the beautiful Tianxian Temple.
The middle-aged Taoist crashed through the wall like a cannonball, and then fell heavily to the ground. He was dizzy and couldn't figure out what happened.
He only remembered that he performed three magical arts and then flew out directly.
When he struggled to get up from the ground, he happened to see the young man pretending to be his master walking out of the Tianxian Temple.
The middle-aged Taoist was frightened and no longer dared to look down on the other party. He stumbled and asked, "You, you, you... who are you?"
"Do you have such a bad memory? Master, I am a Qi Immortal from Jie Jiao!"
As the young man spoke, he stepped forward, moved his hands and feet under the horrified gaze of the middle-aged Taoist, and then kicked him violently.
Hearing a "boom", the middle-aged Taoist felt a huge force coming towards him, and he couldn't help but turn into a stream of light and fly out of Chongxian Island, shooting towards the dark depths of the ocean.
…
The East China Sea is vast and vast, ranking first among the four seas.
The sea area between Nanfanbuzhou and Dongshengshenzhou also belongs to the East China Sea.
In this vast ocean, there is a dangerous mountain about 10,000 feet high standing on the sea.
This mountain is named Skull Mountain because it resembles a skull.
There are two bone caves on the mountain, one in the south and one in the north, just like the two eye sockets of a skeleton.
At this moment, in the White Bone Cave in the south, the Yiqi Immortal Ma Yuan was sitting cross-legged next to the alchemy stove, carefully watching the fire, with a hint of impatience on his face.
He has to refine the elixir in the furnace every month. He is already familiar with it, so logically he shouldn't be so eager.
It's just that tonight he has been cooking for a long time, but he still hasn't seen the servant bring the medicine introduction.
Seeing that after half an hour, the best time for the potion of medicine had been missed, Ma Yuan cursed and was about to go to get the medicine introduction in person, but saw a gust of black wind rushing out of the cave.
When the black wind subsided, a middle-aged Taoist who was less than five feet tall and as fat as a ball appeared.
"You stupid pig, you still know how to come back?" Ma Yuan scolded angrily, stretched out his hand and said: "Where are the hearts and minds of those boys and girls, why don't you get them quickly! If you delay my great medicine, I will peel yours off. Skin!"
"master--"
The middle-aged Taoist threw himself to the ground and cried bitterly: "You have to make the decision for me... That Xuanxian from Fuyu Country who doesn't know where he came from actually dared to pretend to be your name and seize your property." Not to mention the incense and tributes, I will kick the little one thousands of miles away!"
"What!"
Ma Yuanteng stood up, stretched out a big hand from behind his head, grabbed the middle-aged Taoist, and said viciously: "So, you failed to bring back the hearts and minds of those boys and girls?"
"Master, please calm down, I am really no match for that Xuanxian..."
"boom!"
Before the middle-aged Taoist could finish speaking, the big hand that grabbed him had already slammed him to the ground.
Then a big foot stepped down in the air and stepped on his belly. Then the big hand exerted force and pulled his upper body directly from his waist and abdomen. Red, green, and yellow fluids immediately flowed out. land.
"Master, please spare my life——"
The middle-aged Taoist was torn into two pieces but was still alive. He just kept wailing in fear and struggling desperately with three hands.
However, Ma Yuan was unmoved. He put his hand into his abdominal cavity and groped for a moment, and then pulled out a beating heart.
"Although it's not as good as the hearts of boys and girls, it's still enough."
Ma Yuan murmured to himself, raised the furnace lid, and threw the heart in.
As for the middle-aged Taoist's half-body, he was thrown out like trash.
"Thank you sir for your magnanimity!"
The middle-aged Taoist managed to escape with his life. While thanking him, he used his hands to support his lower body and crawled to it, trying to get the two halves of his body back together.
At this time, Ma Yuan turned around and looked at the middle-aged Taoist, "Did you just say that the Xuanxian was pretending to be me?"
"Yes, sir!"
The middle-aged Taoist shouted quickly: "That fellow not only impersonated you, but also robbed you of your incense and all the tributes including boys and girls!"
"very good!"
Under the dancing firelight, the corners of Ma Yuan's mouth raised slightly, evoking a cruel smile.
"It seems that I haven't left this Bone Cave for a long time, and now even a Xuanxian dares to provoke me, Taoist Master!"
