Immortal Overlord

Chapter Two: The Temple and the Golden Dragon

The banks of the Grand Canal.

Before me stood a dilapidated single-room tile-roofed house.

Fang Yi stoodStanding before the wooden door adorned with the golden dragon couplet, he narrowed his eyes.He should know that his golden core was inside, but it was blocked by onemagical powerThe system prevents one from returning to oneself..

He immediately knocked on the door and went in, knowing that someone lived inside.

If I remember correctly, the temple keeperBeing an old Miao person means being a village guardian, or, in modern terms...Tree Brother.

This person is in his sixties or seventies, and because of his laziness and love of food, he has not only never married or had children.Even relatives are basically dead.They live on a minimum living allowance every month, and only occasionally...Smoking, drinking, and that meager welfare allowanceThe funds were insufficient, and the village committee, feeling sorry for them, arranged for them to look after the small temple, giving them several hundred yuan more each month.

"Could it be that Old Miao stole my golden core? Is he also a cultivator?"

JustFang Yi, who was about to knock on the door, stopped.He frowned and pondered, "If Old Miao is truly a cultivator and has the ability to seize my golden core, wouldn't knocking on the door and going in be courting death?"

no!

Don't knock and go in!

Fang Yi was a very cautious person, and in the end, he decided to use his divine soul to probe the temple.departmentThen decide whether or not to knock.

After thinking it through.

He cleared his mind of distractions and guided his thinking beyond....

At first there were somePractice cannot free the mind..

once.

twice.

Five times.

As he continued experimenting, Fang Yi gradually gained some insights.

Finally, on the ninth attempt, the mind broke free once again.!

A wondrous sightSuddenly revealed, he seemed to be with the temple.A certain energy source built a bridge of connection, allowing us to see the origin of the world once again.

Just about to break throughViewing from inside the temple.

The next moment, Ruo LeilongThe booming sound rang out once again.

This time, Fang Yi clearly saw a red mass in front of him.,Then two golden dragons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, surged forth from within and roared madly at him!

dragonIt was even more ferocious than before, shaking his "soul" until it was completely disoriented!

If it were before, Fang Yi would definitely have returned his consciousness.To evade the attack.

But at this moment, all he wanted was to find the Golden Core; how could he give up so easily?

He tried his best to stabilize his thoughts and prevent his mind from being shaken.

At the same time, carefully observe what's in front of you.

all aroundIt is redIt was a place where the sun never shone.

Only two enormous, lifelike golden dragons coiled and roared, seemingly warning against trespassing.

Each roar sent billows of hot air rising, Fang YiI feel as if my soul is about to be baked and withered, or steamed and boiled!

"If they won't let me in, I'll force my way in!"

Fang Yi, with an iron will, took a small step forward despite the heat.

This moveThis angered the golden dragon.

Then, the golden dragon on the right opened its mouth and hissed.

onegoldIt burst forth from its mouth, instantly transforming into flames, making the entire red...The temperature in the space rose sharply and became unbearably hot.

Fang YiI felt my soul was burning.

Before he could think it through, he was horrified to discover that the entire space was ablaze.

Heaven and earth,It's fire; this place seems to have changed.It burst into flames!

"No, I can't hold on any longer!"

Fang Yi had a premonitionIf they don't realize their returnThey would probably be burned to ashes.

Helpless, his thoughts were like...Water recedes.

The next moment, what redThe golden dragon and the sea of fire have both disappeared.

The night was still pitch black, as if what had just happened was an illusion.

Only "deep soul"The pain he felt made Fang Yi realize that everything that had just happened was real.

"What's going on with these two golden dragons?"

Fang Yi frowned, clearly understanding one thing: if he didn't deal with those two golden dragons, he would never have a chance to reclaim his golden core.

Golden Dragon...

Wait!

other eyesIt landed on the door couplet, and someone guessed: "Could it be..."Are those two golden dragons the same two that adorn the door couplet?

Fang Yi thought it was possible.He wanted to peel off the door couplet.

However, his fingers justUpon reaching the door couplet, the golden dragon bursts forth.It's in my consciousness!

Fang Yi hurriedlyAs expected, the golden dragon vanished again when he turned his hand back, and he dared not continue.Door couplets.

"Let's knock on the door and go in to check.""Well, not now, though. Otherwise, if Old Miao is truly a cultivator, I might be annihilated. Let's wait until someone comes to burn incense."

Since we haven't seen any extraordinary individuals in modern society, it's likely that secular laws impose certain constraints on them.

If someone is around, even if Lao Miao is extremely arrogant, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him in front of others.

Fang YisuoI found a place to sit down and quietly waited for dawn.

One hour.

Three hours.

Soon, dawn broke.

FarFootsteps could be heard.

Then, the two womenA sound came from inside.

Is your husband feeling better?

"Sigh, still half-dead, I don't know what evil has befallen me, it's been almost a week, so I came to pray to the immortal for protection. And you? Today isn't the first or fifteenth of the month, why are you here burning incense?"

"My grandson just graduated from school. May the deity bless him so he can find a good job."

Fang Yi was very interested in these two voices.I remember it was Aunt Wang and Aunt Wu, my neighbors in front and behind my house..

Although the sounds were clear, it was a quiet early morning, so it would probably take the two of them a while to get here.

Fang Yi felt much more at ease when someone came.

He stood upPretending to have just arrived, the mainHe reached out and knocked on the door.

Perhaps not.Because of the reason for the failure to break through the gate, Jinlong did not succeed this time.In my consciousness.

Thump, thump thump.

After several rings, an aged voice came from inside, "Who is it? So early."

Fang Yi said, "Old Miao, it's me, Fang Yi. I just came back from outside and wanted to burn some incense."

"Ugh, this is so annoying, wait a minute."

Old Miao's displeased voice rang out.

I waited for about a minute.The small wooden door with two golden dragon patterns creaked open from the ground.

Next oneA stench assaulted the nostrils, and a thin, disheveled old man in his sixties or seventies poked his head out, saying irritably, "Why aren't you asleep so early? You're disturbing everyone else's sleep too?"

Fang Yi pointed inside, "I want to burn some incense for Wong Tai Sin."

Old MiaoWithout making a move, he asked, "Where's your incense?"

Fang Yi looked at the distance.The village shop wasn't open yet, so he could only smile helplessly and say, "You have incense, right? Lend me three sticks to worship Huang Daxian."

"Is the incense here free? It's twenty-three yuan, I'll give you three sticks of incense," Old Miao said.

Fang Yi chuckled and said, "I think you're asking me for money not for incense oil, but for cigarettes, aren't you?"

Old Miao, who was initially impatient, chuckled.He began, saying, "At hand...""Give me some money to buy a pack of Yuxi cigarettes."

Helpless, Fang Yi took out his wallet, pulled out twenty-three yuan, handed it over, and shook his head, saying, "Even people who work don't have cigarettes like you.""Okay."

"They have elderly parents and young children to support, of course they can't bear to part with it." Old Miao snatched the banknotes from Fang Yi's hand and scoffed, "If I'm the only one who's fed, the whole family won't be.""If I don't treat myself well, who will burn my ashes when I die?"

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound.

Fang Yi didn't say anything more, pointed inside, and asked, "Can I go in now?"

"Come in."

Old Miao yawned and moved aside.Bit.

Fang Yi first carefully examined Lao Miao, but did not get a response from him.superiorIt should feel the same aura as itself.

He found it a bit strange.

Could it be that Lao Miao is not a cultivator?

Who stole his golden core?

Fang Yi entered the small temple while pondering the matter.

Just like I remember, there's only one statue of Wong Tai Sin here.

The statue was surrounded by red cloth, and the incense burner and candlesticks on the altar were...It's quite clean; you can tell at a glance that Old Miao is gone.Put in the effort.

Old Miao handed over three incense sticks, "Hurry up...""After you've burned the incense, get out of here."

Fang YiThe child is quite easygoing.I wasn't angry about it; I just said thank you and then took the incense, lit it, and offered prayers.

While kneeling and kowtowing, he closed his eyes and allowed his thoughts to transcend...Out.

The next moment, Ruo LeilongThe booming sound rang out once again.

This time the dragonThe sound was just as fierce as before.

Fang Yi didn't even think about it and immediately returned to his senses..

Um?

What happened?

Previously, my thoughts were disturbed by the dragon outside.Sound attack? How can I still be attacked even after I'm inside?

Fang Yi suspectedLooking around the statue in bewilderment, I really couldn't figure out what was going on.

"What are you kneeling there doing, spacing out? I'm sleepy, you better hurry up and get out of here.""Old Miao's impatient voice rang out again.

Fang Yi determined that the two golden dragons were caused by the couplet on the door.

If we take down the couplets on the door, will...?Are the circumstances different?

Fang Yi wasn't sure if his guess was right, so he stood up.Pointing to the couplet on the door, he said, "Old Miao, take this couplet down."

"You're really making a fuss over nothing. This is the village committee.""What, if I take it off, won't I get scolded?" Old Miao's eyes widened.

Fang Yi pulled a fifty-yuan bill directly from his wallet. "Can I peel it off now?"

Old Miao's expression instantly changed, and he beamed with a smile. "Okay, of course!"

He snatched the fifty-yuan bill and then turned it around.They carefully peeled off the couplet from the Shenlong Gate.He kept rambling on, saying, "After you leave, I still have to..."Go back, or the village committee will really yell at you.

Fang Yi shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, I'm not a rich person.

Normally, he wouldn't want to give so much money, but in order to reclaim his golden core, he had no choice but to "extort" someone.

A minute or two later, Lao Miao finally managed to peel off the door couplet intact.

At this moment, Aunt Wang and WuThey chatted as they entered the small temple.

"Why did they take down the couplets on the door for no reason?" Wuask.

Old Miao's eyes widened as he said, "What's it to you?"

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes. "Look at your bad temper. Can't I even ask?"

"nonsenseThey said they wanted to burn incense to hurry up.Old Miao didn't want to talk to the two of them.people.

Fang Yi was too lazy to care, and once again let his consciousness surpass....

This time is completely different from before!

The two golden dragons have indeed disappeared!

Moreover, the moment his thoughts entered the void, he immediately "saw" a miraculous and extraordinary scene unfold before his eyes!
