Chang Sheng could hear someone chanting Taoist slogans, and so could the four members of the Beggar Clan. One of them shouted loudly, "Who is that person?"
"Who are you?" the visitor asked coldly.
At this time, the fire was already burning, the smoke was billowing, and the heat wave was surging. Changsheng endured the high temperature, propped up the wooden board and listened carefully. Since the person who came to chant the Taoist number was undoubtedly a member of the Taoist sect, he once heard Taoist Master Lin talk about the etiquette of the Taoist sect. Ordinary Taoist people Only the Infinite Heavenly Masters can chant the Taoist name. Only those high-gong masters who have survived the heavenly tribulation and ascended to the Purple Qi can chant the six-character Taoist name prefixed with Fu Sheng.
The person who came to sing "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Lord" showed that this person was a master of purple energy who had survived the heavenly tribulation, but her voice didn't sound like it, because this person's speech was clear and pleasant, and he must not be old.
His greatest hope at this time was that these Beggar Clan disciples were ignorant, did not understand the rules of the Taoism, and spoke in an incomprehensible manner, thus attracting others to take action.
"Wow, this Taoist nun is pretty." It was the voice of Mustache.
Hearing the frivolous words of Mustache, Changsheng was overjoyed. These evil people were really blind and feared that they were not far from death.
Just when he had hope in his heart, he heard a loud slap in the face from outside the house. Just when he thought that the woman had taken action, he heard another person scolding loudly, "You are so impudent. The real person is a high-level master of the Taoist sect. The beauty and fragrance of the country should not be treated lightly or blasphemed."
After the person finished speaking, the sound of slaps came again. Needless to say, it was the person who spoke who slapped Mustache again.
Hearing the sound outside the house, the newly born hope of immortality was instantly shattered. Among the evil people, there were still knowledgeable people. The person who spoke knew a lot about Taoism. Not only did he know that only masters of purple energy can sing the blessings of the infinite heavenly deity, he also knew that purple energy masters can sing. Qi masters are all highly skilled masters.
What made him despair the most was that the person speaking was very good at dealing with it. If this person didn't reprimand and punish Mustache first, the person who came to him might take action himself. If he waited for someone to do it, Mustache would not be as simple as two slaps.
"What's going on? Where is the temple blessing here?" the woman asked coldly.
"Returning to the real question," the eloquent evil man answered, "The temple consecrator of this City God's Temple is my second uncle Sun Zhonggui. Fenyang City suffered from war before, and I was worried about it, so I came to visit with my friends. Who would have thought that the temple would actually It was occupied by a few monks. Those monks had no conscience and completely failed to abide by the rules and regulations. They robbed women of the people and raped and killed them. We were filled with righteous indignation and attacked them. Who would have thought that they would set fire to escape because they were not good at martial arts. The fire was too big. We I couldn’t save him, so I could only vent my anger by yelling.”
As the fire burned, the coals crackled, and Chang Sheng couldn't hear the voices outside very clearly. He could only vaguely hear them. From the words of the evil man, it seemed that Miss Tian must have been killed. She was angry and anxious and shouted for help.
Who would have thought that the smoke was billowing right now, and he choked on a mouthful of smoke as soon as he opened his mouth. He coughed repeatedly and could hardly make a sound.
I thought that I couldn't shout, and the violent coughing might attract the attention of the purple energy master. I never thought that when I coughed violently, a few gray tiles fell from the roof and shattered on the ground, covering up the sound of the coughing.
At this time, the eloquent villain spoke again, "Sir, everything I said is true. The body of the murdered woman and the monk's robes are in the north room. If you don't believe it, go and check it out."
Hearing this man's words, Changsheng became more and more anxious. This man was talking nonsense. There were no monks here, and there were no monks' robes in the north room. And this was exactly what made this man so powerful. The female Taoist undoubtedly had After he chanted the sermon, there was nothing more to say.
Seeing that the female Taoist was about to be deceived by the disciples of the Beggar Clan, Changsheng was so anxious that he wanted to shout loudly but was short of breath and coughing. In his desperation, he ignored the flames outside and turned around to pick up the boy, opened the cover, and rushed in Sea of fire.
The door of the room had been burned down, and Changsheng rushed straight into the yard with the boy in his arms. Although it was only a blink of an eye, his whole body was already on fire, and his hair and beard were all ablaze.
The female Taoist was about to turn around and leave when she suddenly heard a strange noise behind her. She turned around and saw a half-grown man rushing out of the sea of fire holding a smaller child. Because he ran too fast, he kicked He missed the point and fell down the steps.
Seeing this situation, the female Taoist suddenly became alert. Seeing that their crimes were exposed, the Beggar Clan disciples did not bother to kill the two men. They turned around and rushed to the north room, trying to break the window and escape.
After falling down, Changsheng hurriedly got up and beat out the fire. Due to the burning of the fire, his eyes were damaged and he could not see clearly. He only saw a figure flashing past his eyes, and then a gang of beggars came from the north room. The disciples screamed and wailed.
After embarrassingly extinguishing the remaining flames on his clothes, Changsheng dragged the boy a few feet eastward, away from the West Wing, which was about to burn down.
After putting down the boy, Changsheng sat on the ground and gasped for air. At the same time, he turned to look at the north room and saw that the female Taoist had sheathed her sword and was stepping out of the north room.
"There is no need to panic, the villain has been killed." The female Taoist said in a harmonious voice.
"Is that girl still alive?" Chang Sheng asked eagerly.
The female Taoist didn't answer, but walked towards the two of them slowly, "Is this child injured?"
Seeing that the female Taoist did not answer his question, Changsheng guessed the answer. Miss Tian had been killed. After sighing, he shook his head in frustration, "He was not injured, he just fainted."
The female Taoist came closer and asked softly, "Is there anyone else in the wing?"
"There is no living person left." Changsheng's eyes hurt and he kept crying. He had to raise his hands to wipe them. "The girl in the north room is his sister. Their parents have been killed by those evil men in the west wing."
"Blessings are boundless to the heavenly deity." The female Taoist chanted compassionately.
After wiping his eyes, Changsheng still couldn't see clearly the appearance of the female Taoist. He could only see that she was tall and holding a long sword. Due to the close distance, she could smell the faint fragrance of orchids on her body.
"Who are you?" the female Taoist asked.
"We met on the way to escape..." Before Chang Sheng could finish his words, he suddenly remembered something and looked around hurriedly.
"What are you looking for?" the female Taoist asked.
Changsheng did not answer the female Taoist's question, but got up in panic and rushed into the sea of fire again.
"Do you want your life?" The female Taoist stepped forward and reached out to hold him. "The beams have been burned and the wing may collapse at any time."
Changsheng ignored the words and struggled desperately. The clothes on his body were already riddled with holes in the fire, and they tore under the strong pull. Before the female Taoist could take action again, he had already rushed into the sea of fire.
The moment Changsheng rushed into the sea of fire, the beams were overwhelmed and the entire wing collapsed.
Seeing this situation, the female Taoist frowned and hurriedly threw away the cloth strip in her hand. She raised her hand sideways and extended her invisible spiritual energy to lift it up in the air to support the collapsed roof.
Not long after, a burning man staggered out from the sea of fire. When Changsheng ran out of the sea of fire, the female Taoist priest quickly collected her spiritual energy, waved her sleeves and put out all the flames on his body.
"What are you doing?" the female Taoist scolded loudly.
Changsheng didn't answer. His burns were extremely severe and his whole body was in severe pain. But what frightened him most was that he couldn't see. The female Taoist's voice was right in front of him, but he couldn't see her.
"What are you hiding in this stick?" asked the female Taoist. Regardless of his safety, Chang Sheng returned to the sea of fire and only took out a stick. Anyone could guess that there was something hidden in the stick.
Hearing the female Taoist question, Chang Sheng did not answer. He knew that the female Taoist was not a bad person, but he didn't know how to talk to her.
At this moment, the boy woke up and cried for his parents, heartbreakingly.
The female Taoist felt compassion and knelt down to comfort her softly. In fact, Changsheng couldn't see what the female Taoist did. He guessed that she squatted down based on the direction of the female Taoist's voice.
The boy stopped crying for his parents and started calling his sister again. He didn't know that his sister was also dead. Although he had not had enough to eat before, at least the family was still together. Who would have thought that in just this moment, he would become an orphan.
The boy was so sad that he cried for a while and fainted again.
The female Taoist settled him down and turned to look at Changsheng, "Did you meet on the way?"
Changsheng wanted to speak this time, but the thick smoke and fire gas hurt his lungs, and the pain in his mouth was so severe that he could only nod slowly.
The female Taoist took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and stuffed it into Changsheng's hand, "You are badly burned. I have some golden sore medicine here that can relieve your pain."
Changsheng couldn't see it, but he noticed that the female Taoist stuffed something into his hand, and hurriedly pushed it back without taking it.
"Don't worry, I won't steal your things." The female Taoist said in a harmonious voice.
"I know." Changsheng endured the pain in his chest and lungs and managed to speak.
"Alas," the female Taoist sighed and shook her head, "This child has lost his family and is helpless. It was his destiny to meet me, so I took him away."
"Thank you." Changsheng raised his hand and bowed.
"What are your plans?" the female Taoist asked.
Changsheng shook his head.
Although the female Taoist didn't know why Chang Sheng risked her life to retrieve the stick, she respected him for saving the children who met by chance. After thinking deeply, she took a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into his hand, "You keep these three taels of silver. Buy some food."
Changsheng wanted to refuse, but the female Taoist priest had already turned around and left. Not long after, the sound of chanting came from the door of the north room.
Changsheng had previously heard Taoist Lin reciting sutras in the tomb of King Yao. Although he could not hear them clearly, he memorized a few sentences. When he listened to the female Taoist reciting sutras this time, he had a vague feeling that they were reciting the same kind of sutras. The scripture must be a scripture that saves the dead.
After reciting the sutra, the female Taoist lit the north room on fire, then returned to the courtyard and picked up the boy, "Blessed Blessing Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, please take care of yourself."
Seeing that the female Taoist was about to leave, Changsheng asked hurriedly, "May I ask the real person his name?"
"My surname is Zhang." The female Taoist said casually.
"Excuse me, where are you from?" Changsheng asked.
The female Taoist thought that she would always remember to repay her kindness, and said casually, "It's just a little effort, you don't need to worry about it."
Changsheng asked about the other person's origin to confirm whether he was a Taoist from Gezao Mountain, but the female Taoist misunderstood. When he asked again, there was no response, so he must have left.
At this time, a fire was already burning in the north room. Changsheng used the sycamore branch as a crutch, pounded on the way out, and groped his way out of the City God's Temple...
