Xingshantang!
The charity land originally built by the Holy Clan in Jinling was used to take in abandoned children and orphaned elderly people.
This place occupies a very large area, and the Holy Clan spent a lot of time building it.
But no matter how solid a building is, it will become dilapidated after thousands of years of time and constant disrepair.
The same was true for Xingshantang, after the Holy Clan was destroyed and the Holy Temple was closed. It gradually lost its original purpose, and of course no one came to repair it.
Xingshan Pavilion was a landmark in Jinling back then, but now it has become a ruined area. The only thing that is still standing and relatively intact is the Xingshan Pavilion in the center, but it is also leaking.
Liu Chen took a look and saw that many homeless beggars lived among them. Seeing so many people coming, these beggars showed panic on their faces.
A disciple next to Liu Chen looked around and saw that only Xingshan Pavilion was suitable for camping, so he asked: "Palace Master, do you want them to leave here to make room for us?"
Liu Chen glanced at him and said, "Okay! You take them to your home and let them live in your home."
The disciple smiled and quickly backed away.
Liu Chen ignored him and asked Ao Yiming, "Have you done everything I arranged for you?"
Ao Yiming hurried forward and said respectfully: "Palace Master, everything is done."
Ao Yiming's legs were shaking as he spoke. He really couldn't understand what Liu Chen wanted him to do.
First, they wanted to know the surrounding area of Xingshantang, so they were asked to draw a map of Xingshantang.
How difficult it is to draw a map. He often forgets one place and has to go to another place. This makes him and several disciples break their legs.
Ao Yiming was slandering in his heart, thinking that if you understand, you just have to go through it yourself. Use our map to find out. Do you know how much work it is?
Secondly, they were sent to hang lanterns. In the streets around Xingshan Hall, he hung lanterns in many places.
Asked him why, he said: It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, so hang some lanterns to create an atmosphere.
That's all, but the lamp oil burned in the lantern is actually spiritual oil. When he got the lamp oil, his eyes were red.
This spiritual oil was so precious that he actually hung up every street with lanterns, which was a waste of money.
However, although Ao Yiming's body hurts. But he has a good habit, that is, he will try his best to complete the tasks given by his leaders no matter what.
"In the Xingshan Hall, there are nine palaces arranged on the three floors inside and outside. Lights are placed on all three floors. Remember, just like the lanterns, don't light the lights for the time being." Liu Chen ordered Ao Yiming again.
Ao Yiming nodded and immediately gave the order.
Yun Mei looked on in confusion and asked Liu Chen doubtfully, "Why are you lighting so many lights?"
Liu Chen replied casually: "I'm afraid of the dark!"
After saying that, Liu Chen took out another map and said to them: "You guys set up camp according to the locations marked on the map. Zhao Lei, you lead people to guard Xingshan Pavilion. Remember, you guard your own. Don't fight with those beggars." Grab a spot.”
"Yes!" Zhao Lei quickly led the people in and sat down in the corner opposite the beggars.
Yun Mei frowned slightly when she saw that the people arranged by Liu Chen were scattered.
The Hanging Deng Sect didn't bring many people to begin with, so with such an array of troops, it would be easy for them to be breached.
So Yun Mei advised: "It's better to gather together and guard the four sides. In this way, we can resist them wherever they come from and buy time for reinforcements from other parties."
Liu Chen said: "I have my reasons for arranging it this way."
At this time, Yun Mei couldn't help but said anxiously: "It's fine if the defense here fails, but the lives of many of the Xuan Deng Sect's sect members are tied here. This cannot be underestimated."
"In the eyes of the Fifth Elder, do I just not take my fellow disciples seriously?" Liu Chen stared at Yun Mei, trying not to move his eyes away from her tall breasts.
"That's not what I think. It's just that you are so scattered that you are completely in disarray. You are completely vulnerable." Yun Mei explained hurriedly.
"Who says it's vulnerable? I want no one to be able to attack here." Liu Chen said.
Yunmei was furious, he was arrogant. That's right, he is still young and doesn't know how to deal with many things.
Yun Mei wanted to say something else, but she heard Liu Chen say, "If you don't believe it, wait for me and I will prove it to you. Xiyao, you and the fifth elders will clear out a camp for us to rest."
Although Yun Mei was full of worries, after hearing what Liu Chen said, she could only wait for the time being. Thinking that Liu Chen would not be able to give him a satisfactory answer, she took over all management rights.
Thinking of this, she could only take Zhao Xiyao and a few disciples to choose a building with a collapsed wall to repair. However, his eyes continued to glance towards Liu Chen.
Liu Chen naturally noticed the look in her eyes, but Liu Chen ignored her and went to carefully check whether the lamps placed by Ao Yiming and others were in the right position.
He stayed in the ghost town for a short time and actually didn't learn much. Even for the lamplighter method, although he spent the most time, he only learned the general outline and a few methods. The lamplighter also had many extraordinary methods, but he didn't know much about them.
As for the others, I know even less.
But as it happens, there is a method he knows. That is to set up a lamp array by means of a lamplighter.
The ghost town is weird, and the unknown often comes. The whole town needs to hang lanterns everywhere and light the lights to isolate the unknown. Wherever the ghost town is, the unknown happens almost every day. In other words, light the lamp every day.
One of the things he did most in the ghost town was to follow the old village chief to light lanterns. It is not difficult to light a lamp. What is difficult is to light a lamp without a wick.
And only the lamplighter can light a lamp without a wick. Liu Chen also became a lamplighter through such hardships.
Although the old village chief only taught him how to light the lanterns and not how to play with the lantern array, he had seen a lot and practice makes perfect. Slowly I figured out something.
It is absolutely impossible to resist the ominousness of a ghost town, but... it is still possible to create a simple and crude light array to protect a place.
Liu Chen dared to take over and guard this place not just because he was a member of the devil's path. Another reason is that he has confidence.
He took on such a difficult task and relied on his courage and integrity to explain it, which could not completely convince everyone. Maybe others would suspect the connection between the Hanging Lamp Sect and the Demonic Way, knowing that they would not attack, which gave them such confidence, but... it would be different if he showed his strength.
Others would only think, no wonder the other party dared to take on such a difficult task.
Liu Chen was thinking about this, he was not slow in his movements, and murmured in his mouth: "The fire of the body is used as a guide, and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth is gathered. The fire of the body has a spirit, and the spirit is beyond my thoughts."
Under Liu Chen's words, the essence of his body turned into a wisp of flame and fell into the lamp. The lamp immediately burned out, the spiritual oil burned, and the billowing spiritual energy spread out. However, this spiritual energy was as conscious as it was, and it spread at all angles. Under control, the most important thing is that this spiritual energy resonates with the original spiritual energy between heaven and earth, constantly gathering, and thus merging together.
Liu Chen lit these lamps one by one.
Soon, the heaven and earth experienced strange phenomena, and the sound of rumbling spiritual energy resonance was heard.
Yun Mei, who was cleaning up the camp, suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky above Xingshan Hall with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
