Mirroring the changes

"The leader of the Ghost Cult?"

After listening to He Cangwu's words, Li Chen was slightly stunned.

The Killing Temple and the Ghost Cult are the confrontations between the new and old forces in southern Xinjiang.

The Ghost Cult had been at a disadvantage several times before.

Later, at the Jade Sharing Conference, the Ghost Cult bowed to the Killing Temple, and the superiority was determined.

I wonder if there are any new changes after this mysterious Ghost Cult leader came out of retreat.

The human Yuan doll transformed by He Cangwu can actually break away from the giant bone tree to survive.

But he still likes the feeling of hanging on the treetop.

Because Li Chen's whole body was covered by the "Piaomiao Yan", Jackdaw could not see his expression, but continued to tentatively say: "And he got in touch with the people of the Jiuzhou Huangquan Cult as soon as he came out of retreat."

"Huangquan Cult?"

Hearing this name, Li Chen couldn't help but frowned.

The Huangquan Cult is the world's first demon sect, with followers all over Jiuzhou and the eight wastelands. It is the leader of the world's demons and directly competes with the three religions.

Compared with the Huangquan Sect, the Ghost Sect is just a drop in the ocean.

I don't know how this leader got in touch with the Huangquan Sect.

It's just that the Southern Xinjiang is located in a remote area, and the Huangquan Sect probably won't take action easily.

In any case, the Ghost Sect must have ulterior motives and must be guarded against.

"I see."

After a little thought, Li Chen took out five human Yuan fruits, and used the method recorded in "Sheji Gong" to dissolve the human Yuan fruits and pass them into the body of Jackdaw.

Compared with eating the human Yuan fruit directly, this method is more efficient.

Jackdaw shuddered and entered a state of meditation directly.

Li Chen didn't bother him, and walked to the white bone giant tree after thinking about it.

At this time, the white bone giant tree was densely written with words.

This is the place where members exchange information.

Li Chen looked around and found very little information about Southern Xinjiang and the Killing Temple.

After thinking about his recent experience, he wrote four bounties on the tree trunk: ‘Eighth Prince’, ‘Xuanqin Sect’, ‘Huangquan Sect’ and ‘Linyuan Pavilion’.

Then he left the South Country.

After leaving the South Country, Li Chen began to have distracting thoughts.

Sitting in front of the Bukong Waterfall, he could not calm down and comprehend.

But at this moment, there was a sound of worshipping the mountain from the bottom of Bukong Mountain.

Li Chen directly tore open the barrier, and soon a monk came in.

Looking closely, the person who came was none other than Brother Li Xu, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Li Xu was very interested in mechanical arts, so after the establishment of Wulu Zen Temple, he was sent to Muduo Mountain as an outer gate deacon.

After Li Chen returned to the temple this time, he had not been to Muduo Mountain, but he did not expect Brother Li Xu to come to him.

“Amitabha.”

“Brother, I haven’t seen you for a long time. Is everything okay?” Li Chen clasped his hands together and smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Monk Lixu hurriedly bowed and said, "Amitabha, thank you for your concern."

This Senior Brother Lixu is good in every way, but his behavior is too rigid, and it is inevitable that he seems awkward when getting along with others.

Lichen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Senior Brother, why are you so restrained?"

Monk Lixu touched his bald head and said with guilt, "It's really wrong to disturb the practice of Buddhist disciples."

Lichen shook his hand and said, "I just have nothing to do here. I wonder if Senior Brother has anything important to do?"

After speaking, he pointed to the huge rock in front of him and motioned Lixu to sit down.

Monk Lixu bowed to Lichen first, and then carefully sat down below Lichen.

"Buddha, do you still remember the few souls you left in Wulu Zen Temple before leaving the temple this time?"

Lichen was stunned when he heard this.

Before going down the mountain this time, he specially went to Muduo Mountain.

According to the records in "Seven Skills", several souls in the Wujian dungeon were sealed into the soul-nourishing wood to make the core of the mechanism.

In this way, as long as the core is inserted into the mechanism, the mechanism can be intelligent, and the actions will be more agile and tacit.

Thinking of this, Li Chen nodded: "Brother, are you talking about the five soul-nourishing wood cores I left behind at that time?"

"Yes, it is the five soul-nourishing wood cores." Monk Li Xu hurriedly responded.

"According to the instructions of the Buddha, Mr. Muduo awarded the five soul-nourishing wood cores to the disciples who performed well."

"But yesterday in the Qianji Cave of Muduo Mountain, the totem corresponding to one of the soul wood cores suddenly emitted blood light."

After each soul is sealed into the soul wood, it will leave a totem mark in the Qianji Cave of Muduo Mountain.

Therefore, the abnormality of the soul wood can be sensed from the totem change.

But this totem was left by Li Chen that year, and others don’t know what this change represents.

"Blood light?"

"I wonder which soul that soul tree corresponds to?"

"Leopard soul!"

"Leopard soul?"

Li Chen's mind turned, and he still had some impression of the leopard soul.

Back then, Monk Jile used the 'Blue Sky Divine Needle' to poison the three elders of the Killing Temple, and then joined forces with Wanshou Villa to attack the Killing Temple.

What they didn't know was that Li Chen had already seen through everything, so he used the trick to set up a dragon gate formation in the Killing Temple, and directly caught Wanshou Villa in a jar.

And the leopard soul was the leopard beast leader who was killed at that time.

Its strength is quite extraordinary.

So Li Chen simply put it into the Wujian dungeon to wash away the karma, and then sealed it into the soul wood to make the core.

"Totem changes?"

"This means that the soul is different!"

Thinking of this, Li Chen hurriedly asked: "I wonder who that soul was given to?"

As soon as the voice fell, Monk Li Xu blurted out: "Chen Dong!"

"In the previous Wulu Zen Temple annual competition, Chen Dong won a great victory, so Mr. Muduo awarded him a soul wood core, which was the leopard soul."

"Chen Dong?"

Hearing this name, Li Chen instantly remembered the rough man with a scar on his face.

He clearly remembered that this Chen Dong was the reincarnation of the 'ear-picking arhat'.

But because of his blood feud, he declined Li Chen's request to become a monk.

At that time, he also said that when he avenged his blood feud, he would be willing to become a monk in the temple.

"It turned out to be him."

"Where is he now?"

"I went down the mountain to kill monsters with Senior Brother Li Geng a few days ago."

"Go down the mountain to kill monsters?"

Hearing this, Li Chen couldn't help but frowned.

"Yes, three days ago, I went to the village north of Lihuo Town with Senior Brother Li Geng to kill monsters."

After that, he told the story of Chen Dong meeting Qiao Shan at that time.

"Fox demon? What kind of fox demon dares to cause trouble at the foot of our Killing Temple?"

"Do you want to reincarnate?"

Li Chen frowned. There must be something wrong with the abnormal situation.

He said immediately: "Brother, my Killing Temple and the demon tribe are at loggerheads. Ordinary demon tribes will never dare to appear in our territory."

"And the totem in the Qianji Cave is closely related to the soul tree. The blood light on the totem is mostly due to the difference in the spirit."

"I think Brother Li Geng and Chen Dong are in trouble."

"We must send disciples to respond to this matter as soon as possible, otherwise something might happen!"

Li Xu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said goodbye to Li Chen and walked down the mountain in a hurry.

It was the last day of 2022 before I could catch up. This year has passed especially quickly. The year-end summary is just one sentence: I've been busy all day and I can't make any money. I wish you all a safe New Year's Eve and good luck in the coming year.
