Zexin Temple, Suolongjing.
After finally clearing a few Buddhist stone statues, Pei Wende immediately returned to his original form, and then slowly landed in the backyard of Zexin Temple.
The beam of light that woke up the White Snake in Longyou Lake came out of this backyard.
Or to be more precise, the seven-color Bodhi Buddha light emerged from a well in the backyard.
It was a dilapidated, ancient dry well, and there didn't seem to be anything weird about it on the surface.
However, above the dry well, a huge stone tablet covered the well head, and it was tightly bound to the dry well by hundreds of fine chains.
Pei Wende, who has opened his eyes, can see clearly, where are those tiny chains?
Those are clearly materialized scriptures, Buddhist beads imbued with supreme power of thought...
Every lock on these chains has Buddhist blessings that are no less than that of Bui Wende's string of cordless rosary beads.
So many Buddha treasures stacked together are simply a manifestation of extravagance and waste.
The most important thing is that judging from the traces of the existence of those chains, these chains did not exist at the beginning, but only appeared near the dry well not long ago.
Combined with the short-lived Bodhi Buddha light before, Pei Wende was almost certain that these Buddha chains were the seals left by his cheap senior brother.
"Senior brother?"
Blinking his eyelids slightly, Pei Wende stared at the dry well and called out tentatively.
To be honest, Pei Wende didn't expect anyone to respond to him, but what happened next surprised him.
Because at the moment when the words "senior brother" blurted out, the previously short-lived Bodhi Buddha light appeared again.
Only this time, the Bodhi Buddha light did not form the power to ward off evil spirits and demons just now, but emanated from the well mouth from the inside out.
"Wende?"
With the gathering of little bits of Buddha's light, an illusory figure suddenly appeared above the well mouth.
Wearing a cassock and carrying a rosary, the ring finger and little finger of his left hand are both mutilated...
With such eye-catching features, who could this illusory figure be if it were not the long-lost Hui Ji?
"As expected, it's you. What's your situation now?"
He couldn't help but frown. Although Pei Wende had thought of many ways to reunite with Hui Ji, he never expected to meet him again in this way.
Right now, the real Huiji is not in Suolongjing.
This illusory figure is just an avatar left here, an incarnation that can barely appear with the help of those Buddhist treasure chains.
People often say that Buddha has three thousand incarnations.
In fact, this is not wrong in a certain sense, because all living beings are Buddhas.
Based on Huiji's current cultivation level, any living being who reads his name and recites his scriptures has the possibility of becoming his corresponding body.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Huiji can manifest a Yingshen with some of his power and thinking with the help of the Buddha treasure he left behind.
I think Huiji met a body and the Nirvana Sutra left by Zen Master Lingyou, and then she embarked on the path of breaking the precepts, re-cultivating, and becoming a disciple of Weishan.
Even Pei Wende himself can use his telepathic ability to perform similar methods if he wants to.
"Oh, senior brother, I capsized in the gutter!"
Walking down from mid-air little by little, Huiji's response did not hide her frustration at all.
"Since you have found this place, you probably already know what happened in Runzhou City."
Hearing Hui Ji's question, Pei Wende rolled his eyes bluntly.
"I know part of it, but I don't know how you capsized."
"And where is your current body? Is it really sealed in this Dragon Well?"
After all, Pei Wende's third eye between his eyebrows did not see Hui Ji's shadow from the well.
In the dragon-locked well in front of him, there was only the overwhelming resentment and the dark well water that was constantly surging, but it was still unable to break through the boulders and chains at the mouth of the well.
"This is a long story..."
Before Hui Ji could finish her words, Pei Wende decisively interrupted him.
"To make a long story short, Xiaoqing is still outside dealing with that white snake, and I also have a lot of questions to ask you."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
About Hui Ji's experience before coming to Runzhou, he was roughly familiar with what Pei Wende knew, but some details were different from what he knew in advance.
After helping Tang Xuanzong quell the demonic chaos in the world, Huiji received information about the trouble in Runzhou.
After going through many documents in Qintian Prison, Huiji discovered that the direct cause of the accident in Runzhou was the corpse of the dragon girl who had been sealed and suppressed.
In order to kill Wulin Shui, Li Gang liberated the dragon girl's corpse that had been sealed and suppressed, and extracted the blood essence from her body that could restrain Wulin Shui's immortal power.
Although Li Gang re-sealed Long Nu's body afterwards, he did not notice that a ray of resentment had quietly escaped from the seal.
That ray of resentment that was not noticed by Li Gang, after many twists and turns, finally chose to possess the Taoist priest of a Taoist temple on the outskirts of Runzhou.
At this time, the term of Zhang Yuanze, the governor of Runzhou, was approaching.
In order to make a final contribution to himself before leaving, he, who was already somewhat superstitious, listened to the temptation of resentment and decided to re-build a temple dedicated to the river god on the original site of Zexin Temple.
Only then did the seal of Suolongjing be completely destroyed, and the black water in the well poured into Longyou Lake.
Those ordinary animals that accidentally drank the black water were fine. Qintian Supervisor, who sensed the abnormality, immediately sent out a demon hunter to strangle them in their cradle.
But humans who are also polluted and assimilated by black water become a thorny problem.
Especially among them were the governors of Runzhou like Zhang Yuanze. Even if those demon hunters were given a hundred courages, they would not dare to kill such high-ranking officials.
After all, since Tang Xuanzong succeeded to the throne, he has gradually taken back the privilege of "kill first and report later" in the hands of Qin Tianjian.
What makes the demon hunters even more helpless is that no specific result has yet been reached on how to deal with the infected and assimilated humans here.
Another white snake that was also infected appeared over there, and it was an unprecedentedly huge white snake.
Just like the legendary Ba Snake, as soon as the huge White Snake Pu appeared, it forcibly destroyed the dam of Nandu with the force of the stormy waves.
This directly caused nearby farmland to be swallowed up by floods, and the people's harvest for the year was ruined.
In terms of the seriousness of this incident, it is simply more terrifying than the demon hunter killing Zhang Yuanze and the wealthy gentry of Runzhou in one fell swoop.
