Chapter 80 The weird old mother statue (please subscribe!)

Out of Baiyun Temple.

Chen Yan and Liu Laodao immediately joined forces with Evil Tou Tuo Yuantong, Wu Guhan and others. Under the encirclement and suppression of a hundred crossbowmen, they finally wiped out more than 200 skinned puppets in Baiyun Temple.

"grown ups."

Returning to the entrance of the main hall of Baiyun Temple, Deng Hong, the general bannerman of the Supervisor Tiansi Secret Guard, stepped forward to obey his orders.

“Check everything inside and out, don’t miss anything, and report anything unusual immediately.”

"Yes!"

Deng Hong respectfully accepted the order and resigned.

Although all the skinned puppets were removed, in order to avoid any omissions, Chen Yan and Liu Laodao agreed that it would be best to search Baiyun Temple once and for all to ensure nothing was missed.

Nodding with Liu Laodao, the two stepped into the main hall.

After a great battle, the main hall of Baiyun Temple was in a mess. Even the ceiling collapsed and half of it was reduced to ruins.

As soon as Chen Yang stepped in, he glanced at his eyes and immediately frowned, then said:

"strangeness……"

"what happened?"

Liu Laodao looked at the young man in confusion.

"Gone."

Chen Yan frowned and replied.

"What's missing?"

"Zhang Yuanlin's body."

"Isn't that what it is?"

Liu Laodao pointed to the hideous-looking, bloody head not far away.

"It's not the head." Chen Yan shook his head: "The body is gone."

Hearing this, Liu Laodao glanced around and couldn't find it after searching for a long time. He touched the back of his head:

"Yeah, where's the body?"

Chen Yan frowned and said nothing, staring at Zhang Yuanlin's disappeared headless body.

"Could it have been eaten by some skinned puppet?"

Liu Laodao guessed, then looked at Zhang Yuanlin's head and said in disgust:

"This old pig and dog's evil deeds are punished, and he deserves to end up with an incomplete corpse after his death."

"Bah! Something worse than a beast."

"Maybe."

The young man's brows still didn't relax, and he frowned, feeling that things were not that simple.

"grown ups!"

At this moment, Deng Hong, who had left, appeared again.

"what's up?"

"Sir, we found a secret room..."

Deng Hong walked closer and said with a hidden expression.

"lead the way."

Chen Yan's expression remained unchanged and he nodded slightly.

Soon, under the leadership of Deng Hong, Chen Yan and Liu Laodao bypassed the winding corridors, walked through several side halls, and arrived at the Baiyunguan residential area.

Headed straight towards Zhang Yuanlin's residence.

As the master of Baiyun Temple, Zhang Yuanlin lives in the largest and most luxurious side hall in the entire Baiyunguan residential area.

There is no doubt that the side hall where Zhang Yuanlin lives has naturally attracted the attention of the secret guards of Supervisor Tiansi.

As expected, an underground secret room was discovered in Zhang Yuanlin's study.

This is a secret room with an area of ​​only ten square meters.

The secret room is surrounded by hard granite, and the interior is very simple.

There are only three things.     A futon, a desk, and an... statue of the old mother goddess.

Yes.

There is also an old mother goddess statue in the secret room.

Judging from the cleanliness of the statue's surface, Zhang Yuanlin should wipe it carefully every night or even worship it.

However, unlike the ten-meter-tall old mother statue in the main hall, the old mother statue in Zhang Yuanlin's secret room is only three feet tall. It looks like an ordinary old farm woman, and even looks kind and kind, with slightly curved mouth corners, showing compassion.

Who would have thought that such a kind old woman would be the believer of the largest cult in the Wu Dynasty, the Rebirth Cult?

As for why Deng Hong came to find Chen Yan, it was because this secret room had its own weirdness.

I saw around the desk in the secret room. The secret guard who first discovered the secret room was kneeling on the futon with his head lowered. He kept kneeling and kowtowing to the statue of an old woman on the desk, muttering something in his mouth:

"Be kind to my mother, and my hometown is empty; I love the world, and I will be reborn in the filthy land..."

No matter how much the surrounding secret guards pulled him, this secret guard seemed to have taken root under his feet, kneeling on the spot motionless, his expression gradually becoming obsessed and even fanatical.

"Sir, this is how it is now..."

Deng Hong's face looked a little unsightly.

After all, I repeatedly emphasized the need to be careful before the search, but unexpectedly, some of the secret guards were careless and got into trouble.

Chen Yan nodded, but didn't say much. After all, this secret guard was just an ordinary person. An ordinary martial artist with only one or two levels of Qi and Blood at most, it was normal for him to do something in front of the Rebirth Cult.

There is no doubt that what caused the secret guard to appear in such a strange situation was the three-foot-old female statue on the desk.

Staring at the statue of the old mother on the table carefully, he vaguely felt like he wanted to worship her. If his mind was not firm, it would really be possible if he stayed in the secret room for a long time.

After watching for a while, Chen Yan suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He let out a light sigh and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Liu Laodao on the side also observed for a long time, but did not think of a solution. He frowned and said:

"If that's the case, then just smash this statue into pieces!"

As he said that, the old Taoist stretched out his hand and planned to smash the old mother statue to pieces.

But as soon as the old man made a move and took a step forward, a hand stopped him in front of him, and the young man's calm voice sounded:
  "Wait a minute."

The old Taoist looked puzzled:

"how?"

"Don't smash it...this thing seems to be useful to me..."

Chen Yan stared at the three-foot-old mother statue with his eyes, an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

This appearance made Liu Laodao frown and said with a somewhat stern expression:

"You kid, don't fall for the teachings of the Rebirth Cult. If you step into it, it will be extremely difficult to escape. Don't be confused at this time!"

Knowing that Liu Laodao was concerned about him, Chen Yan did not show any expression, but explained:
  "Don't worry, it's not that I have any thoughts about the Rebirth Cult, but...this statue is indeed of great use to me..."

"Is it of great use?"

Liu Laodao's expression became more and more doubtful, but when he saw that the young man was reluctant to say anything, he did not go into details. He had long known that the young man had a secret, but who didn't have a secret these days?
  Seeing that Liu Laodao had been persuaded to agree, Chen Yan ordered:
  "You guys go out first."

"Yes!"

Naturally, Deng Hong and others did not dare to object and respectfully resigned, leaving the secret guard on the futon kneeling in front of the statue of the old mother.

After Deng Hong and others had withdrawn, Liu Laodao couldn't help but asked curiously:

"What are you going to do?"

Liu Laodao was quite curious about the young man's various strange methods. Whether it was the mysterious golden light that turned the tide or the young man's superb martial arts skills, it was eye-opening for Liu Laodao. He was a little curious about what the young man wanted to do.

Chen Yan did not answer in a hurry. He looked at the shining old mother statue with his eyes, as if looking at some rare treasure, and said:

"Do you, Mr. Liu, have incense tables, yellow cloths, incense burners and other sacrificial things here?"

"You still said you are not worshiping the statue of my mother?"

The old man frowned.

"Don't worry, I'm not worshiping the mother statue."

Chen Yan explained, waved his sleeves with his backhand, gently placed something on the table, looked at the things on the table and said:

"But worship it!"

The thing that appeared on the desk was none other than the statue of Guan Gong!
