Chapter 25 One meal full, every meal satiating
Inside the temple, black mist surged, and two figures could be vaguely seen colliding.
The sounds of metal clashing could be heard from inside; the battle was extremely fierce.
The phantom image formed from the Bodhi seed struck the red light once more.
Bang
A calloused hand pressed down on its wrist.
Guo Jin, his face bruised and swollen, wiped the blood from his nose and said coldly, "I'll get angry if you don't follow martial ethics!"
The worshippers in the temple were almost paralyzed with fear when Li Hongyi's voice came from inside: "Do not leave the area of the red light, and you will be safe."
Gu Qingyi stared blankly at the scene: "What exactly is that?"
"Strange." Liu Wu's lips were trembling.
Gu Bai looked at Guo Jin expectantly: "Don't be afraid, the police will protect us. This guy is a master; he's about to fight back."
Guo Jin deflected the shadowy palm and threw a punch, creating a cracking sound in the air.
Crackle
Like a firecracker exploding, a fist slammed into the chest of the Bodhi figure.
But then, the Bodhi figure rippled, and an invisible force passed through his body.
The Bodhi figure was surrounded by black mist. With a flick of his hand, the yin energy surged like a tide, and Guo Jin was swept away and crashed into the temple wall.
"..."
Gu Bai felt melancholy again.
I thought Guo Jin was going to pull a big shot, but it turned out he pulled a big one.
This Bodhi figure isn't strong either. Guo Jin is at least one against ten. Did he really just focus all his defense on this?
With my defenses and twenty years of internal energy, can you break through them?
The worshippers were terrified. Some sobbed and cried, while others knelt on the ground, praying for the protection of some Bodhisattva.
"No signal, can't make a call."
"Honey, you're so lucky! I have 100,000 yuan in savings."
"My 20-year-old mistress..."
Cries, pleas, curses, and terrified screams mingled together.
Some people were so frightened they almost went crazy and tried to run away, but Gu Bai pulled them back.
Running out now would mean certain death.
Panic is contagious, and Liu Wu was also afraid: "My business was just starting to pick up, and I haven't even gotten to live in a luxury car or mansion yet..."
Having experienced the mosquito-man incident firsthand, Gu Qingyi stepped forward and calmly took control of the situation: "Don't be afraid, everyone. This thing can't get in. As long as we don't go out, we're safe."
Bang
The red light vibrated, and the Bodhi figure struck the red light, but its defenses remained intact.
"Look, it can't get in at all. Let's calm down and wait for the security guards to deal with the monster, then we'll be safe." Gu Qingyi's gentle voice carried a hint of heroism.
"Help, help me, medicine, my medicine..."
Someone collapsed, clutching their heart; they had suffered a heart attack.
Gu Bai didn't understand. If someone has a heart problem, why would they run out at night?
The people around had already scattered in fright.
Gu Bai quickly went forward and searched through the sieve, finding the pills and feeding them to the patient.
The slapping grew more urgent, faster, and faster, the eyes fixed intently on Gu Qingyi.
Gu Qingyi could also sense that this strange creature seemed to be targeting her, and she stared directly at the Bodhi figure without any hesitation.
The Bodhi figure let out a low growl, growing increasingly anxious.
Guo Jin, who was in the corner, finally recovered. He shook his head, and his body crackled as his fierce yang energy was mobilized and condensed into one.
With a swift stride, the air exploded, and he charged out like a cheetah, throwing a punch at the Bodhi figure.
The Bodhi figure, already impatient, lost all patience and slashed at Guo Jin's neck with a hand as sharp as a blade.
In the darkness, two thin needles silently appeared and pierced the neck of the Bodhi figure.
The Bodhi figure paused for a moment, then his fist arrived and smashed into the figure's head.
bang
With tremendous force, the Bodhi figure's head exploded, the Bodhi seeds shattered, and the figure scattered on the ground like a collapsed block.
"ah!"
A piercing scream rang out, the black mist inside the temple suddenly contracted, and a wisp of black smoke crashed through the roof and disappeared into the distance.
Li Hongyi leaped into the air and stepped onto the roof: "You escort them away."
Having said that, he disappeared into the night with a few leaps.
The surrounding red light disappeared, the yin energy in the temple gradually dissipated, everything returned to normal, and the vanished temple gate reappeared.
Guo Jin wiped the blood from his face: "We're safe now. Everyone, come with me down the mountain."
"Safe? Really safe?"
"The temple gate has appeared; we can go out now."
After surviving the ordeal, several people rushed out of the scene.
Liu Wu swallowed hard. "Xiao Gu, help me down."
Gu Bai helped Liu Wu and quietly withdrew the fine needle.
Guo Jin took out a bag, put the Bodhi seeds on the ground into it, and looked at Gu Bai: "Brother Bai, please watch over them for me."
"You're quite good at ordering people around." Gu Bai rolled her eyes at him, but still helped to appease him, while secretly putting a Bodhi seed into her sleeve.
"Don't panic. Staying with the police is the safest option. If you rush out like this, what if the monster comes back?" Gu Qingyi's voice rang out.
Upon hearing this, those who had rushed out immediately ran back, and those who had reached the temple gate also stopped to wait.
Guo Jin quickly put away the Bodhi seeds, glanced at Gu Qingyi, and gave her a thumbs-up approvingly: "You're very good."
Gu Qingyi smiled slightly and said nothing.
After the group descended the mountain, Guo Jin drove them back to the new urban area.
Gu Bai and Liu Wu drove the truck at the back.
"Xiao Gu, I'm thinking of quitting." Liu Wu said, smoking a cigarette. "I'm really scared. No matter how much money I make, it's no good if I don't live to enjoy it."
He was genuinely terrified after seeing real ghosts, which were just rumors before.
If it weren't for the security measures, I probably would have died in the temple.
"Then let's take a break," Gu Bai said.
"I need to take a break for a while. If this kind of thing happens again, I'm really quitting and taking my wife and kids back to my hometown in the countryside," Liu Wu said.
"It seems like most of the things I've encountered lately have happened in rural towns," Gu Bai said quietly.
Liu Wu froze, his face turning ashen: "What are we going to do?"
……
Continental Temple.
Li Hongyi was carrying a woman in ancient green clothing. She had no facial features and exuded a cold aura.
"Check if anything is missing." Li Hongyi threw her on the ground.
A chilling voice emanated from the woman in green's abdomen: "No, you monster, coexisting with humans, what a disgrace!"
A phantom image appeared on Li Hongyi's body, and her voice was ethereal: "Why not? She cultivates and strengthens her Yin energy to nourish me, and I then nourish her in return, eating my fill every meal. Unlike you, who sometimes go hungry and sometimes have a full meal."
"Bullshit! I've eaten plenty. If I hadn't been unable to resist this time, once I've digested the yang energy, how could you possibly be a match for me?" the woman in green said coldly.
"Being unable to control one's desires makes one a fool," the ethereal figure said. "Not being able to distinguish between a full meal and a full stomach—what else is that but a fool?"
"You didn't notice her blood. If you had, you wouldn't have been able to resist either," the woman in green retorted.
"Alright, since nothing's been missed, let's go." Li Hongyi turned and left.
The woman in green said, "It was agreed that you would return half of my yang energy. That energy was accumulated by my believers through many days of hard work releasing animals. Otherwise, I will definitely not cooperate."
"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate, in addition to returning your yang energy, I can also find you a symbiotic partner," Li Hongyi said.
……
"Hehe... Hehehe..."
Inside the bedroom, the White Bone Demon was having a wild time again.
He never expected that the Bodhi bead contained pure yang energy, and in considerable quantities.
I wonder where the ice cream got so much yang energy.
The quality of this yang energy has been purified; the ice cream has some substance.
