Chapter 364 Earthbound Spirit
Chapter 364 Earthbound Spirit
"What's wrong with the little Taoist priest?" Qin Baiqing couldn't follow his sudden jump in thoughts.
She was still thinking, if the dragon and tiger spirits were unwilling to go back because they had waited too long, should she beat them up and take them away, or beat them separately...
But Feng Budu suddenly spoke, interrupting Qin Baiqing's struggle.
She subconsciously looked in the direction where the little Taoist priest stayed.
He was clearly a young Taoist priest, but his temperament was very much like that of all monks in the world. He was equally generous and gentle, as calm and silent as water. He was looming in the gray and white incense, almost floating in the air and merging with the statue sitting high on the tribute platform.
The Dragon and Tiger Hall's originally extremely solemn and cold temperament was softened by the incense and chanting of the young Taoist priest.
Orderly but tolerant, strict but compassionate.
The statue lowered its eyes and looked quietly at the little Taoist priest who was reverently chanting scriptures below. It also seemed that it looked past the incense burner and saw Qin Baiqing and the other person who had intruded.
She was suddenly speechless, mesmerized by the silent order of the Buddha statue and the little Taoist priest.
Qin Baiqing was suddenly awakened by the cold murderous aura behind her.
The moment Feng Budu mentioned the little Taoist priest, the dragon and tiger spirits instantly became more powerful. They opened their eyes lazily, and their identical golden pupils shot straight at Feng Budu.
In an instant, the room was filled with murderous intent, threatening Feng Budu's life.
He seemed to be referring to the unspeakable taboo.
"kill him!"
The cat's body suddenly grew larger, and a mighty tiger-shaped shadow appeared in the room. The room was filled with solemnity, sternness and fierceness. The two spirits of dragon and tiger were ready to attack, and attacked Feng Budu without saying a word.
But just before they got close, Feng Budu stood calmly in place, and his aura also changed drastically in an instant.
At the peak of transcendence, his cultivation level was close to that of an immortal, so he counterattacked against the dragon and tiger spirits.
The extreme pressure forced the dragon and tiger spirits to retreat. They immediately stopped their attacks, and their shadows retracted, turning into the original harmless little snakes and kittens again. They stayed in place and breathed hostilely at the two men.
Looks so pitiful.
The two groups were in a stalemate for a long time, and Longhu suddenly spoke again, saying: "You can take the Dragon and Tiger Hall away, but we will not go back with you."
"How can this be possible? You are the spirits in the Dragon and Tiger Hall. Without you, it would be useless for me to take back the Dragon and Tiger Hall."
The stone hall is just a container. The two spirits that really have an effect on Sanqing Palace are the dragon and the tiger. I came here to find the dragon and the tiger.
But now the dragon and tiger of Sanqing Palace are going to run away with other young Taoist priests, and the person who came here to find him seems like the Queen Mother of the West who broke up the goddess and the woodcutter.
"Alas... this is not a problem I should encounter at all."
Qin Baiqing had a headache, so she simply sat cross-legged beside the dragon and tiger spirits and tried to negotiate: "How about this, since you want to be with the little Taoist priest, why don't we just take him with us and go back to Sanqing Palace?"
As for the little Taoist priest.
Although his current cultivation level is not high, he has excellent talent. I just need to accept him into the Xinghai Sect. With time, he may be able to show his talents.
"Kill two birds with one stone!" She urged the dragon and tiger spirits to agree.
"It's not that simple." Feng Budu saw that she was blindly optimistic and said, "If the little Taoist priest could be taken away, they wouldn't stay here with all their heart. I guess... the problem lies with the little Taoist priest."
When they first came, they were intent on finding Longhu, and thought the young Taoist priest was just an ordinary person with good talent.
But now, the two spirits of Longhu and Hu valued his existence so much, so he must be someone who is not ordinary. The two of them observed the back of the little Taoist priest reciting the scriptures again. He was thin in plain clothes, but his body was full of gentle power. No wonder the two spirits of Longhu and Hu were so close to him.
"This shouldn't be a human." Feng Budu looked at the young Taoist priest, observing his unusual generosity, and guessed:
"It is said that there are souls in the world that have never been liberated, and they have imprisoned themselves in the place where they lived. As long as their wishes are not fulfilled, their souls will not disperse, and they will become earthbound spirits."
"This little Taoist must have trapped himself here and couldn't get out. Forcing himself to leave would be disadvantageous to him."
This is why the dragon and tiger spirits were so persistent, leaving no room for maneuver in their words.
"Is that so?" Qin Baiqing asked.
But Longhu didn't answer, which was considered as his consent.
The four of them fell silent together, and looking at the gentle and generous aura of the little Taoist priest, they inexplicably felt a bit more compassion for the world, and a sense of emptiness and distance from the world.
"But you live in a remote corner, unaware of the outside world. The farthest place you have been is to rescue people in a small town. You don't know that there are people in the outside world who are keeping a close eye on you. Once Sanqing Palace falls into the hands of the enemy, you will not be able to bear the consequences."
The dragon and tiger spirits were obviously not mentally prepared for this matter.
They looked at him in confusion, still on guard, and did not completely trust Feng Budu.
Feng Budu continued solemnly: "The enemy may be behind us. They will not use gentle means against you. Can you protect the little Taoist priest?"
The dragon and the tiger fell into deep thought, slowly lowered their erect scales and standing fur, looked at each other in silence.
Apparently, he is considering it.
The young Taoist priest in the distance was unaware of this place. Qin Baiqing was also thinking about the so-called earthbound spirit. The originally tense atmosphere of mutual hostility finally eased a little.
Suddenly there was a loud dull noise outside.
The dragon and tiger spirits were making a difficult decision, and they instantly became alert when they heard the words. They first looked at Qin Baiqing and the others suspiciously, and then two figures, one golden and one white, suddenly shot out.
Qin Baiqing and the other person followed closely.
The moment she walked out the door, she stopped in her tracks and said in disbelief, "How could... this happen?"
The sky is falling!
But soon, Qin Baiqing put away her panic and keenly noticed that after the sky collapsed, there was another layer of sky outside, and the first layer of sky above her head showed traces of spiritual light.
The dragon and tiger spirits have rushed up to repair the sky.
"This is actually a separate small world," Qin Baiqing felt around and finally found it after entering for a long time. No wonder she couldn't find it at the beginning. "We don't know when, we have stepped into the small world."
And now, noises from the outside world continue to be heard, and the sky is still collapsing. Even though the dragon and tiger spirits have revealed their true forms and tried their best to repair it, they are far from keeping up with the speed of the collapse.
A familiar smell came from the outside world.
"Duan Yao has caught up with us!" Qin Baiqing's expression became much more serious, and she felt Duan Yao's breath.
He was attacking the small world with precise aim, and it was obvious that he knew exactly what was inside.
Qin Baiqing was confused at first as to how he found her, but then she looked at the room where Qin Feiyu was resting, and suddenly she realized.
No wonder Dad refused to let me follow him and insisted on leaving alone. It was obviously not because he was injured, but because he knew that Duan Yao would definitely track him inside his body.
For the sake of safety, they acted separately from them and tried their best not to be in the same location as the ruins Qin Baiqing was looking for!
