No one stopped them, which allowed the two of them to enter Chaotian Temple smoothly.
There is an endless stream of pilgrims, all coming to offer incense and fulfill their wishes.
Lin Qiaoyue keenly caught one point.
That was the pilgrims at Chaotian Temple, and they were all saying the same thing.
That is the deity of Chaotian Temple, it is so efficacious.
We always respond to requests and have never let them down.
Lin Qiaoyue stood in the temple, looking at several golden statues, feeling worried in her heart.
Master once told him.
Be it gods or immortals.
It doesn’t matter if it’s made of gold or if it’s made of mud.
These sculptures will not and cannot help people realize their wishes.
Only evil gods can help people realize their wishes easily and quickly.
There is a key point here, that is, these pilgrims who burn incense and worship Buddha enter the temple with this idea in mind.
Even if one or two people happen to realize their wishes, it's not because the statues in the temple are so efficacious, it's just that the people who made the wish got rewards for the price they paid.
Anything that exceeds one's own strength and does not deserve it, if you want to catch it, you have to pay the same price.
The two walked around the temple and finally arrived at the backyard of Chaotian Temple.
Apart from the monks, there were only countless greedy, angry and foolish pilgrims left in the front yard.
Lin Qiaoyue suspected that the most likely place for Mokotian's puppet to hide was in the backyard of Chaotian Temple.
The two of them bypassed the pilgrims and monks and came to a green brick wall more than one foot high.
Inside the wall, a podocarpus tree rises toward the sky.
On the treetop, stood a black cat that was all ink.
Green eyes stared directly at the two of them.
In front of Lin Qiaoyue, a circular arch stood quietly.
As long as you pass through this arch, you can enter the backyard smoothly.
Lin Qiaoyue had just taken a step when a man's voice suddenly came from behind.
"This donor, that is not the place to pray."
Lin Qiaoyue smiled slightly, with a gentle look on her face: "Master, I went to the mountains to play as a young man. It was my first time to see such a sacred and solemn temple. I offended everything on a whim. I hope you won't blame me."
After saying that, he slowly turned around and saw a great monk in his early thirties walking towards him quickly.
With a calm aura and wind under his feet, he was either a mystic or, at the very least, a master of external arts.
The great monk nodded slightly towards Lin Qiaoyue: "This benefactor, this is the resting place for the brothers and sisters of Chaotian Temple. It has no ornamental value. The two benefactors can go to the front hall and walk around."
Lin Qiaoyue rolled her eyes.
Although he could hear the displeasure in the other party's heart, he still said shamelessly: "Master, you see it's getting late. Xiaosheng and Xiandi have been running around for a few days. Can they stay overnight in Guibao?
Xiaosheng has been pursuing Buddhism all his life, and he only wants to be with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng one day.
If I can rest in the Precious Land for a few days, even if I cannot cultivate the supreme Buddhist principles, I can at least fulfill my brothers' long-cherished wish. "
The great monk observed Lin Qiaoyue and Lan Jinyao carefully.
It was as if he wanted to find out the flaws between the two of them.
But even she almost believed the lies Lin Qiaoyue just said.
She didn't believe that she couldn't deceive the monk in front of her.
The monk hesitated again and again, but finally did not refuse Lin Qiaoyue: "This matter needs to be consulted by the abbot. Don't wander around, two donors. Let me ask the abbot and let me know later."
The great monk turned and left.
Lan Jinyao looked at Lin Qiaoyue and smiled lightly: "I didn't expect you still have such a long-cherished wish!"
Lin Qiaoyue smiled helplessly: "There is nothing we can do. If we are kicked out, it will be troublesome to come in again."
Fortunately, the two of them did not arouse suspicion. After just a cup of tea, the former great monk turned back again.
"Two donors, come with me."
Lin Qiaoyue and Lan Jinyao successfully entered the backyard of Chaotian Temple.
There are a total of sixty-eight guest rooms in the backyard of Chaotian Temple.
In addition to the sixty-eight guest rooms, there are twenty-nine temple residences for the monks themselves.
In the backyard, Lin Qiaoyue didn't notice any evil in the air.
But another problem was discovered.
That is, the great monk told her a rule that she must abide by.
When the time comes, you cannot wander around in the temple.
No matter what the emergency is, you must endure it and never leave the room.
Lin Qiaoyue asked the great monk why, but he just told her that this was the rule set by the abbot eight years ago.
Anyone who does not abide by this rule cannot stay at Chaotian Temple and must leave the temple immediately.
Although the two felt confused, they still agreed verbally.
Lan Jinyao guessed that it might be time.
Something unusual will appear in this temple.
Because the great monk once said it deliberately.
This rule was only established eight years ago.
Eight years ago, Chaotian Temple was not as lively as it is now.
The number of pilgrims on weekdays is less than one-tenth of the current number.
It seems that the temple only started to flourish eight years ago.
With this information, Lin Qiaoyue immediately thought of the Haoyue Sect that died overnight nine years ago.
Maybe there really is some connection between the two.
The time is too close.
A temple that no one cares about suddenly became popular overnight.
The reason is very intriguing.
The great monk delivered the fasting meal and warned him again, and then did not bother him again.
Lin Qiaoyue had been standing in front of the window, secretly observing the situation in the backyard.
It was very quiet, not a sound could be heard.
It was as if they were the only two people in the entire backyard.
It was not until three quarters of the hour that the monks in the front yard turned back one after another.
A total of ten pilgrims entered the guest room provided by Chaotian Temple.
Until nightfall, midnight has just arrived.
The lights in the backyard went out at the same time.
A gust of cold wind blew by.
When the lights went out, the chanting also stopped.
Lin Qiaoyue's eyes were like lightning.
I saw a peaceful backyard, with a gust of wind blowing the fallen leaves and swaying around in the yard.
When the dark wind stopped, a black air suddenly condensed in the yard.
Lin Qiaoyue frowned slightly.
A strange figure gradually became clear in the dark night.
Lin Qiaoyue's eyes opened wider and wider.
That figure actually had six arms.
"This is……"
Lan Jinyao's eyes flashed: "Mokotian? Has it been resurrected?"
Li Wuyou once said that when Mo Ketian absorbs a certain amount of essence, flesh and blood.
At this time, Mokotian will no longer be satisfied with the provision of puppets.
At that time, the sculpture will condense the real body and will no longer be just a sculpture.
But the real evil god came to the world.
If Mokotian has arrived, then in this Golden Cloud Realm, even if all the sects join forces, they will become Mokotian's food.
A trace of sadness arose in Lin Qiaoyue's heart, and the gears of fate had begun to turn.
Two black pupils burst out with red light.
Lin Qiaoyue whispered: "So that's it, I understand!"
Lan Jinyao came closer: "What should I say?
"Have you ever thought about why a temple that had been neglected suddenly became so popular? And the time was so close to the demise of the Haoyue Sect!"
Lan Jinyao's eyes flashed with a strange color.
No matter how confused she was, she still understood what Lin Qiaoyue was saying: "You mean, someone at Chaotian Temple made a wish to Mokotian!"
Lin Qiaoyue nodded.
At this time, the six-armed ghost figure in the courtyard disappeared again after wandering around the courtyard.
Li Wuyou once said that when Mokotian absorbs enough flesh and blood, it will become a physical entity.
Based on what happened in the courtyard just now, Lin Qiaoyue guessed that Mo Ketian might be about to turn into a physical entity.
After the ghosts in the courtyard disappeared, she gently opened the window, and a sad autumn wind slowly blew by.
Lin Qiaoyue's eyes swept across the room of twenty-one monks.
If someone in Chaotian Temple makes a wish to Mokotian, it means that some of the monks in Chaotian Temple have become its puppets.
Lin Qiao's eyes flashed. The great monk who brought them in during the day showed no evil spirits on his body.
There are twenty-one monks in Chaotian Temple.
The puppet will only appear in the remaining twenty.
"Follow me." Lin Qiaoyue lowered her voice and took the lead in walking towards the room on the left.
Tonight, not only can we find the temple puppet, but we can also find another puppet.
The two moved carefully, lowering their steps all the way, and finally stopped in the deepest room.
A weak oil lamp was lit in the room.
Lin Qiaoyue stood under the window and could hear the faint sound of chanting scriptures.
This is the only monk in Chaotian Temple who does not turn off his lamp to rest.
Maybe the truth is here.
Lin Qiaoyue opened the door.
There was a soft "creak" sound, and the chanting of scriptures stopped.
An old monk slowly stopped the wooden fish in his hand: "You are a mystic, right?
I can feel that the aura on your body is different from others.
But there is a righteousness in you that no one else has. "
The old monk turned his back to her and slowly turned around: "Let's take action. Nine years ago, for the sake of the monastery, I was bewitched by him.
Over the years, I have been living with deep self-blame, and it’s time for me to put an end to it. "
The old monk spoke and slowly turned around.
I saw him pulling up the sleeve of his right arm.
On the skinny arm, there is a black eye.
Lin Qiaoyue frowned.
The old monk's hoarse voice was like two scraps of rubbing rags: "This is the power given by Mokotian after surrendering to it.
The eyes are the source of the puppet's power. It’s been eight years and I can’t suppress it anymore.
Every time I kill someone, I can't forgive myself. Young hero, please give me an end.
This is all my fault and it needs to end. "
The old monk finally stood up as he spoke.
He slowly walked towards Lin Qiaoyue.
His eyes were gray and he wanted to die.
Lin Qiaoyue squinted her eyes: "Why?"
She wanted to ask the other person why he still retained his humanity.
The old monk shook his head: "Maybe it's the Buddha's mercy! But..."
The muscles on the face of the old monk, who originally had a gloomy face, suddenly twisted together.
The veins under the neck looked like blue bugs, bulging out in an instant.
His eyes also turned blood red in an instant.
The old monk, who was about to lose his mind, recited the scriptures again.
He stretched out one of his hands and pinched the eye on his arm.
At this point, the red light in his eyes quickly faded.
"Young hero, take action. I no longer have the strength to suppress him."
Lin Qiaoyue let out a long sigh and raised her sword.
The other party's head rolled off with a gurgling sound.
Lin Qiaoyue put away her sword and saluted the fallen body: "It seems that Mokotian's power is not invincible."
The old monk's situation gave her a little more confidence.
Lan Jinyao said: "Mr. Lin, I think it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. He is the abbot of Chaotian Temple. Although you are here to help him, outsiders may not think so. Let's leave quickly."
Lin Qiaoyue shook her head and rejected her proposal: "No, that guy hasn't been found yet. He must still be hiding in the temple."
At this moment, a man's voice came from behind: "I know where you want to find the person!"
Lin Qiaoyue turned around and saw that it was the great monk who had brought them in during the day.
The visitor walked in slowly and looked at the body lying on the ground with sad eyes: "Master"
He respectfully arranged the clothes for the corpse, and carefully straightened the fallen head.
Then he murmured: "Eight years. Since eight years ago, the temple has become lively. Whenever night comes, the master locks himself in the room and refuses to see anyone.
Thank you, young hero, maybe this is the best ending for the master. "
The great monk knelt down respectfully towards the old monk, finally stood up and said: "In the back kitchen of Chaotian Temple, which is the cellar where food is placed.
That place is that person's hiding place. That person came in during the time when the host became strange. "
The great monk felt that the culprit of all this was that person.
As long as that person is driven out, the original life of the temple may be restored.
The great monk's idea was very simple, and Lin Qiaoyue couldn't bear to break his dream.
Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the door.
The visitor turned out to be veteran Taoist Li Wuyou.
He held a head in his hand and asked the monk with a smile: "Is he the man who lives in the cellar?"
The great monk was dumbfounded and said: "Yes, exactly."
Lin Qiaoyue took a closer look.
Isn't the head in Li Wuyou's hand the stern young man he met in the city that day?
This veteran's strength is truly terrifying!
…
…
A few days later, with the joint efforts of the three major sects and the four major families, Mokotian's plan to transform into flesh and blood was resolved by Lin Qiaoyue and his party.
When all the puppets were destroyed, the Mokotian sculpture, which was originally in a semi-awake state, immediately lost its power.
Under the auspices of Li Wuyou, he was sealed deep underground at the original site of the Haoyue Sect.
But what Lin Qiaoyue didn't expect was that Liu Bugui, the senior brother of Tengyun Sect, would also become Mo Ketian's puppet.
After his strength surged, he wanted to kill Lan Jinyao in front of her.
Fortunately, Lin Qiaoyue had a clear mind and understood his plan in advance.
Only then did he avoid his plot.
Lan Jinyao returned to the Five Poison Sect and continued to be her saint.
When killing Liu Bugui, Lin Qiaoyue told Lan Jinyao her true identity.
Although Lan Jinyao was shocked, she still accepted it with a smile.
He only said that Lin Qiaoyue owed her a favor and would have to pay it back in the future.
The most shocked person was Xie Shuiyun. She had no idea that the one she liked was actually a woman.
She also wanted to follow Lin Qiaoyue back to the mountain, but her father stopped her because she was making nonsense.
But perhaps Xie Wuchen was the one who wanted to leave with Lin Qiaoyue the most.
After all, there was someone at Lin Qiaoyue's mountain gate that he wanted to see the most.
Twenty years after Lin Qiaoyue returned to the sect, she fell out with her master Tao Ziming not long after Xue Xinzhu proposed marriage to the sect.
Tao Ziming originally wanted to return a favor to Xue Xin, the leader of the Spider Sect, but he did not expect to hurt his apprentice because of this incident.
Lin Qiaoyue left the sect in anger.
Coincidentally, evil spirits invaded many times. After arriving at Blue Star, they lost contact with Tao Ziming and senior sister Ning Ci and junior brother Zhao Laosan.
Many years later, the appearance of Wang Jianfei broke the deadlock and allowed their master and apprentice to meet again.
…
…
Time passes.
March Zong.
Tao Ziming was chatting with Li Wuyou about his favorite apprentice Lin Qiaoyue.
Li Wuyou smiled and said, "She didn't even recognize me when I helped her back then! By the way, Chixia left last year. When she left, she was still thinking of you."
Tao Ziming was stunned for a moment: "Are you talking about Miss Lu? Alas... Miss Lu... Alas..."
"Sighing twice, who told you not to agree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qiaoyue, the leader of the March Sect, walked towards this side.
The moment she saw Li Wuyou, she was stunned and said, "White-bearded old man?"
Li Wuyou laughed loudly: "Yes, it's me!"
