Chapter 253 The power of the curse
In a dim temple, a faceless god statue is enshrined on a stone lotus platform, accepting worship from believers.
In the blink of an eye, the villagers made new moves.
Three animals were brought up and slaughtered respectfully, the blood was drained, the fur was removed, and the animals were worshiped in front of the statue. The wizard wearing a Nuo mask performed a weird and rough Nuo drama.
In the incense burner in front of me, three pillars of lit sandalwood emitted green smoke.
As the smell of sandalwood gradually spread in the room, Muramasa and others who had been talking to Pei Miaode immediately changed their expressions and kowtowed to the statue blankly, with fanatical expressions written on their faces.
Standing among the crowd, Pei Miaode, who failed to respond in time, was suddenly highlighted.
Such actions naturally aroused dissatisfaction from others, but due to the solemnity of the ceremony, the people around could only express their dissatisfaction with disgusted eyes, but could not take any practical actions to punish this hypocrite.
The flames on the sandalwood waxed and waned, as if something alive was sucking the incense. He felt an inexplicable chill, and a sudden feeling as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
"you……"
"who!"
Pei Miaode turned his spiritual consciousness into a sword and slashed behind him, but it seemed to have hit the air and there was nothing behind him.
Pei Miaode simply stopped trying to cover up, and looked around openly, checking the villagers one by one with his consciousness, but could not find anything strange along the way.
Could it be that I was too nervous and had hallucinations?
Pei Miaode eliminated this answer immediately.
If he had hallucinations himself, could it be possible that all the people in the government who entered Wuguan Village in the past also had hallucinations?
To be able to defeat so many experts, there is obviously more than one problem with this place.
Pei Miaode worked hard and was always prepared to deal with sneak attacks from all directions.
Sure enough, this time the sound came from the right, and it was undoubtedly much clearer than the last time.
"Look..."
What should I look at?
Pei Miaode carefully looked at the layout of the temple, even refusing to let go of the beams. He scanned back and forth twice with his spiritual consciousness, but still found nothing.
"Look at me, I look a bit like you..."
The sound became elusive and gradually became clearer. Finally, at the last moment, Pei Miaode captured the source of the sound, which was the lifeless statue in front of him.
And as the words fell completely, the faceless statue finally changed.
Where the face should have been, facial features gradually appeared, eyes, nose, mouth...
A sense of familiarity filled with weirdness and absurdity arose spontaneously. Why did this face look so familiar? Pei Miaode had an idea, but then his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but raise the demon-conquering pestle in his hand.
Under the eyes of everyone, the demon-conquering pestle hit the statue heavily, but it was still blocked by a soft light curtain.
At the same time, the statue also showed its true appearance, and it looked exactly like Pei Miaode!
No wonder it gave him that strange sense of familiarity just now.
Although he didn't know why the statue turned into his own appearance, Pei Miaode also understood that the demon hiding in the dark was obviously not doing this to praise him.
On the contrary, this method of absorbing people's breath makes people immediately think of bad things like witchcraft and curses.
And letting a monk complete his curse is undoubtedly an extremely stupid choice.
Thanks to Guo Shuoyin, Pei Miaode finally understood the opponent's plan.
Even with his experience of nearly a thousand years, he has to say that it is exquisite.
It turns out that Pei Miaode has unconsciously fallen into the trap of the mastermind from the very beginning when he entered the village. Why is there so much evil everywhere in the village? That is because the entire village has become a pawn of the mastermind.
The other party used people as matchmakers, and Pei Miaode frequently contacted the villagers to get information. At the same time, he unknowingly worsened the curse on his body step by step, and he fell into the trap unknowingly.
Even in the final curse, the man behind the scenes did not show up, but used the villagers' faith and the power of incense to complete this feat.
How could Pei Miaode find traces of that person? From the beginning, the other party had no intention of having direct contact with him.
Feeling the power of the curse falling on him, Pei Miaode's heart suddenly sank.
A large light appeared at the back of his head quickly, using the will of all living beings to temporarily resist the onset of the curse. However, Pei Miaode also knew that this was not a long-term solution. The top priority was to uncover the person behind the scenes and find a way to undo the curse.
Or, just kill all the villagers in Wuguan Village and lose the source. Naturally, you can use great magic power to suppress the curse and slowly peel off the cocoons to figure it out.
Thinking of this, Pei Miaode's third eye flashed with a sharp look.
"Good means, good means!"
"Your Excellency intends to force me to take action against the villagers of Wuguan Village, and then secretly uses magic techniques to leave evidence that I harmed the people. How can such an immoral and immoral King Jie and Zhou look like the leader of the Chetuo Kingdom? It's really a good plan.
ah!"
"It's just that you forgot something."
Pei Miaode deliberately let it slip when he said this.
Seeing that the other party was not fooled, Pei Miaode was not angry. He suddenly raised his demon pestle and smashed it towards the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.
Pei Miaode only felt his hand sink, and the harsh friction sound of gold and iron suddenly became loud.
A woman with extremely charming features was forced out of Pei Miaode's eyes.
But when I saw that this person had a long neck and a beautiful face, his body was exposed, as bright as the sun rising as the morning glow, and as bright as the flowers emerging from Lubo. In terms of appearance alone, he was definitely not inferior to Yunyao.
But this person is a monster!
Without the formation to cover her up, the woman's demonic aura was clearly revealed, and the three white fluffy tails on her back were swinging wantonly, as if she had no intention of hiding it at all.
Pei Miaode quietly tested this person's strength with magic, and it turned out to be a demon from the inner realm. No wonder his traces were exposed, and he acted so confident. He obviously felt that he had been defeated.
"Your Highness is really very discerning. How did he know that I am at the entrance of the village?"
Women are charming with words, and even though their whereabouts have been exposed now, they still have a teasing and teasing tone.
"Want to know?"
A sneer twitched at the corner of Pei Miaode's lips, and he raised his fingers towards the woman, gesturing for her to come closer.
But when the other party really did as he was told, he suddenly turned his back. The magic pestle in his hand emitted thousands of Buddha's lights, and hit the woman's fontanel hard. If this hit was true, it means that she has great abilities.
You must also be given the title of head.
Pei Miaode didn't have the habit of asking others to be clear-minded even when he was fighting to the death.
The other party also seemed to have expected that Pei Miaode would not follow the rules.
Chapter completed!
