Chapter 114 Two Moons in the Same Sky
There was a muffled sound.
It was the sound of flesh being cut.
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning turned their heads almost at the same time.
I saw a woman picked up a broken tile with a sharp edge and stabbed it into her neck with a blank expression.
Blood mixed with foam flowed out.
Suffocation is always one of the most uncomfortable ways to die. Even if it is suicide, no matter how mentally prepared you are, the feeling of the air being gradually taken away and your whole body twitching from lack of oxygen is enough to arouse the greatest desire to survive.
People will struggle subconsciously.
But this woman didn't. Her expression didn't change at all. She just lay down on the ground slowly and curled up.
The bloody wound on the neck continued to bleed, staining the ground and looking so eye-catching.
The blood flowed to the feet of the other woman. She looked down, then turned around and ran with her last bit of strength.
"Boom!"
Among the ruins, blood appeared on the tilted beams, and the woman's body slowly fell down.
As if it was a signal, one woman after another began to commit suicide cleanly and efficiently. None of them hesitated, and none of them was frightened.
In just a few breaths, corpses were everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Chen Qingning silently put down the talisman in his hand.
Jiang Lin pursed his lips and stopped.
"us……"
Chen Qingning opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and difficult, as if he was talking to himself: "Did we save them?"
She stood there at a loss, the talisman in her hand fell weakly to the ground. Looking at the corpses in front of her, her eyes were full of confusion.
After these women regained their consciousness, they made the same choice without any hesitation.
suicide.
"There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart..."
Jiang Lin said softly, his voice was so difficult and a little hoarse.
He understood the choices of these women, but the feeling of watching human lives disappear before his eyes and being unable to do anything made Jiang Lin extremely depressed.
Of course Jiang Lin could rescue these women at the first opportunity and stop their actions.
This was not a difficult task for Jiang Lin or Chen Qingning.
But neither Jiang Lin nor Chen Qingning had any intention of doing so.
Because they both knew very well that even if they were rescued, they would just be walking corpses.
They are just bodies without souls.
Betrayed by loved ones, reduced to a tool without any thoughts of his own.
Their hearts had already died at that moment.
Jiang Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, but instead of chanting the mantra for rebirth or salvation, he spoke softly.
"At that time, the Heavenly Venerable Savior of Suffering filled the ten directions, constantly using his mighty power to rescue all sentient beings and bring them back from the wrong path. Sentient beings are unaware, like a blind man seeing the sun and the moon. I am originally in the middle of nothingness, and I lead them to the boundless. Clouds of joy opened the gates of life, and auspicious smoke blocked the doors of death. I first sent forth the Mysterious Origin to communicate auspiciousness and sensations."
"Save all sins and overcome all misfortunes..."
Jiang Lin silently recited the "Miraculous Sutra of the Most High Mysterious and Treasure Heavenly Venerable for Relieving Suffering".
Chen Qingning knelt on the ground devoutly.
"The great saint is merciful, has great compassion and great vows, has transformed himself into a name in all directions, and has saved all living beings. In billions of kalpas, he has saved countless people. He responds to the voices of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, Qingxuan Jiuyang God..."
One of them recited the Wonderful Sutra for Salvation of Suffering, and the other recited the Precious Instructions of the Deity for Salvation of Suffering.
The invisible ripples became visible to the naked eye with the help of the two's mental power.
"call……"
The gentle breeze blew up a layer of dust, and also blew up the lonely souls.
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning looked up and saw the souls being rolled up and gently soothed.
"call……"
Jiang Lin exhaled a breath and his body slowly relaxed.
"Om."
At this moment, a ray of spiritual light floated out from the wind, split into two points, and landed on the eyebrows of Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning.
The spiritual light soothed the two people's moods and cleansed the confusion and bewilderment in their hearts.
After all, Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning are just children.
The person he saved died in front of his eyes without any regrets, and if he tried to stop it, it would backfire.
Experiencing such things personally brought a great shock to the two people's spiritual hearts.
One wrong move and you’ll be trapped in a maze, and there’s a good chance you’ll never get out.
They will blame themselves and feel guilty about why they didn't come earlier and why they couldn't lend a helping hand.
When the mind of Tao is no longer clear, the mind becomes confused, as if stuck in a quagmire and unable to get out.
Fortunately, both Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning are doing what they can.
Praying to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun to look after these women was the last thing the two could do for them.
And Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun did not disappoint the kindness and obsession of these two Taoist disciples.
Even strictly speaking, the Dharma lineage practiced by the two has nothing to do with Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.
But Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun really lowered his eyes.
At the same time, a little bit of inspiration calmed the two people's turbulent mood and stabilized their spiritual hearts.
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning came back to their senses, knelt silently on the ground, and kowtowed three times and nine times meticulously.
"Disciple, I bow to thank Taiyi Savior of Suffering Heavenly Venerable."
The two of them whispered together.
"Om."
The spiritual light bloomed again and fell on the hearts of the two.
In a trance, the two seemed to hear a broad and mellow voice.
"I have done good deeds to help the poor and have no regrets."
"Doing good deeds without asking for reward."
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning looked at each other and saw each other's eyes that were no longer confused.
Yes, just do good things and don’t worry about the future.
Saving lives is not for accumulating virtue, but doing good should be done without any guilt.
Chen Qingning took out a talisman and dropped it to the ground with a wave of his hand.
"boom……"
The ground collapsed and turned into a burial pit.
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning worked together to carefully place each woman in the burial pit.
"The Happy Temple should no longer exist."
After doing all this, Jiang Lin said softly as he looked at the Huanxi Temple in front of him, which had mostly collapsed but still existed.
"The wealth inside is all the blood and bones of the people. How are you going to deal with it, fellow Taoist?"
Chen Qingning originally wanted to burn down the evil temple, but he was concerned about the property inside.
These properties are the hard work of the people in the three towns.
"In the name of these women, we will distribute them to the people and build a charity hall on top of this Happy Temple."
Jiang Lin said softly.
"good."
Chen Qingning nodded.
…………
Fifteen days later.
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning left Taiping Town.
In fifteen days, the two did a lot of things.
Part of the property in Huanxi Temple was used to build the charity hall, and the vast majority of the rest was left in the charity hall to help poor people.
In the names of those women.
Fifteen days later, the charity hall was built and a deity was invited to guard and worship it.
It is the statue of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun.
After doing all this and seeing that everything was on track, Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning left. But when they left, Jiang Lin had an extra package in his hand.
This was also the only thing the two took away from Taiping Town.
Inside, there are ten large pancakes.
Jiang Lin was carrying a package and smiling happily.
"This time, nothing will spoil my food."
He said with a smile.
Chen Qingning smiled, and he and Jiang Lin walked out of Taiping Town one after the other.
Behind him, the owner of the inn bowed and saw him off.
The boss looked at the two Taoist priests walking away and slowly stood up.
He turned around, looked at the Taiping Town stone archway with traces of knives and axes, and sighed deeply.
Perhaps starting from today, Taiping Town may be able to enjoy some peace for a while.
After leaving Taiping Town, Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning walked slowly towards Qiyun Mountain.
When we came here, we had the "Daoye brand powerful turret", but when we go back, there is no such quick way to travel.
Fortunately, both of them were not ordinary people, so it wouldn’t take long to travel 500 miles.
"See, I was foresighted. We can't go five hundred miles without some dry food."
Jiang Lin patted the bulging package and smiled proudly.
Chen Qingning touched his purse and smiled without saying anything.
She discovered that although Daoist Jiang appeared mature and steady most of the time, his happiness could occasionally be very simple, even childish and naive.
Only at this time could she suddenly remember that the Daoist Jiang in front of her was a "junior brother" who was five or six years younger than her.
Although most of the road from Taiping Town to Qiyun Mountain is an official road, there are also many mountain roads.
The mountains and forests these days are not a good place, and there are no scenic spots.
Fierce beasts and poisonous insects are lurking around, and evil demons and monsters are lurking in the mountains and forests. This is the norm in this era.
However, for Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning, it was not a big problem.
In other words, the two of them were very much looking forward to some evil and blind demon jumping out.
what?
What if the boat capsizes in a ditch?
After all, this place is within the coverage of the Taisu Palace of Qiyun Mountain, which has a radius of 500 miles. It is fortunate that the Huanxi Temple has not been discovered under the cover of the worldly aura.
But all the evil monsters in these mountains and forests, if they had any power, had long been killed.
"Edict."
Chen Qingning threw out a vermilion Zhenwu positive Qi, turning a zombie into pus and blood, and then sat back next to the campfire.
This was already the second night after the two left Taiping Town.
The two of them maintained a speed of about 100 miles a day and rushed towards Qiyun Mountain.
"Yesterday at least we had an inn to stay in, but today we have to sleep in the deserted mountains."
Chen Qingning sat next to the campfire, supporting his chin with his hands. He looked around, but could only see large trees with lush branches and leaves.
In the darkness, the branches took on strange shapes with bared fangs and claws.
But for Chen Qingning, it was already commonplace.
"Be content."
Jiang Lin was baking pancakes, looking up and smiling, "In the dense forest we passed during the day, there were no less than ten monsters of various colors, but now it's just a zombie."
As he spoke, Jiang Lin couldn't help but sigh.
It is indeed a time when the fortune of humanity is damaged and strange creatures are multiplying.
Even within the dignified Zhenwu sect, which has a radius of 500 miles, there are so many demons.
Although most of them are not very successful, the speed at which they grow can explain a lot of problems.
Sighing in his heart, Jiang Lin broke half of the hot pancake and gave it to Chen Qingning.
Chen Qingning ate the cake bit by bit, but when he looked up, he found that Jiang Lin didn't move, he just held the cake but didn't eat it.
"Daoyou, what's wrong?"
Chen Qingning asked curiously.
Jiang Lin did not answer, but just looked up blankly and asked softly: "Daoyou, do you think there are two moons in the sky?"
"How could..."
Chen Qingning answered subconsciously, then reacted halfway through and looked in the direction Jiang Lin was looking.
Suddenly, her eyes widened.
Through the gaps in the dense forest, above the cloudless sky, there are twinkling stars and a bright moon.
This is a normal scene, but what is abnormal is that there are two moons!
In other words, in addition to the lunar star hanging high in the sky, there is another ball of light, which is no weaker than the bright moon, and is almost parallel to the lunar star, quietly shining.
At a glance, it looks like there is an extra moon in the sky.
"what is that?"
Chen Qingning looked at it in a daze. If it weren't for the sharp perception of a cultivator, she would have thought that there was an extra moon in the sky if she hadn't noticed the unique aura of the Yin Star above the light.
Moreover, she didn't know whether it was her illusion or something else, but she always felt that the ball of light was getting bigger and bigger...
"run!"
Jiang Lin reacted quickly, pulled Chen Qingning and ran quickly down the mountain.
The light was getting bigger and bigger and it was not Chen Qingning’s illusion, but that ball of light was really falling, and it was falling towards this barren mountain!
Although he didn't know what that thing was, Jiang Lin's spiritual sense had already sounded the alarm, and it was an extremely strong warning!
If you get hit by that thing, there's no way that anything good will happen to you!
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning ran nearly ten miles in one breath before they relaxed a little and looked back.
"boom!!"
The ball of light fell on the ground. It was clearly at least seven or eight miles away, but Jiang Lin still felt a clear vibration!
Smoke and dust filled the air and rose into the sky!
I don’t know how long it took, but the vibration disappeared and the bright light also dissipated, at least it couldn’t be seen from Jiang Lin’s position.
"Daoyou, that thing has fallen down..."
Chen Qingning had come back to his senses at this moment. He looked at the barren mountain where the two of them were originally, and said, "It seems that we have landed at the foot of the barren mountain."
"Could this thing be coming for us?"
She looked at Jiang Lin standing beside her.
Jiang Lin didn't say anything.
No one knows what that bright light is, nor does anyone know whether it is a coincidence or intentional.
All in all, there are now two choices before Jiang Lin and the others.
Go take a look, or turn around and leave.
The two looked at each other, Chen Qingning took out the talisman, sent a message to Taisu Palace, then nodded to Jiang Lin, and the two turned around and left.
Are you kidding? No matter what this object is that can make such a big noise, it must be hard to deal with.
The sense of crisis when falling was extremely strong.
No matter whether it is a living thing or a dead thing, we should ask the senior Taoists to come and take a look.
The talisman Chen Qingning used was the highest standard one for sending messages, and it was also the only talisman for asking for help in the "magic talisman package" she had recently obtained.
Now we just need to stay away from them and wait for the Taoist priest from Taisu Palace to come.
Jiang Lin and the others had a good idea, but...
"Boom boom boom..."
"Susususu..."
"Ouch!!"
The sounds of wild beasts stomping on the ground, tigers and wolves roaring, and birds flapping their wings rang out almost simultaneously.
One by one, the animals rushed out from the forest and headed straight towards Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning.
No, these are not ordinary animals. There is spiritual light in the eyes of these animals.
In other words, these are monsters with spiritual abilities!
Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning naturally discovered this abnormal scene.
If you look down from above, you can see that not only the direction of Jiang Lin, but all the monsters in all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, are rushing towards the direction where the light is falling!
This change made Jiang Lin even more confused.
What on earth is that falling light?
However, Jiang Lin did not have long to be confused, because the monsters running towards the barren mountain from Jiang Lin's direction had already set their sights on Jiang Lin and the other man.
Obviously, these monsters regarded Jiang Lin and Chen Qingning as "roadblocks".
The old group has been deleted and replaced with a new one with a little threshold. The big guys can join it again.
