Chapter 173 Kneel Before the Statue!

Chen Xi shook his head, and understood something in his heart.

Perhaps the current situation is one of the reasons why Qingfeng Mingyue parted ways with these Taoists...

His eyes moved slightly, and then he placed them on the statue in the hall.

I saw that this statue looked very strange, as if it was pieced together.

The head of the God of Longevity had a prominent forehead.

The body of the God of Fortune was round and full, holding an inverted blessing character.

The appearance of the God of Wealth had a black face and a long beard, holding a gold ingot.

On the body of this statue, two intersecting sword marks were very obvious, destroying the original charm.

This made the statue lose its majesty and become a little more funny.

Chen Xi saw that this group of Taoists had finished grabbing food, gathered together in a daze, chanting scriptures, and there was no other useful information.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly walked towards the main hall, gently knocked on the Zen stick, and the ring sound rang out, shaking his mind.

Inside the hall, the Taoist priests who were in a daze were awakened by the ringing sound.

They all looked at Chen Xi, with strange colors flashing in their eyes.

These crazy Taoist priests did not have the ability to see Chen Xi's ability.

The atmosphere in the field was tense.

However, Chen Xi's next move was beyond their expectations.

He smiled, put his hands together, and spoke softly.

"I have heard for a long time that Wuzhuangguan is a blessed place with outstanding people and Taoist charm."

"I never thought that it would be even more mysterious when I saw it today!"

"I am lucky enough to see the statues of the three stars of Fu Lu Shou!"

"I dare to ask if I can comprehend the wonderful Dharma with you Taoist priests and worship Fu Lu Shou?"

Chen Xi's words shocked the black-hearted old lady.

It really didn't expect that this monk could communicate with these crazy Taoist priests in this way.

The ability to speak human words to different people and ghost words to different ghosts made the black-hearted old lady feel ashamed.

At the same time, a group of crazy Taoist priests who had almost no rationality were stunned at this moment, as if they were a little surprised and doubtful.

However, they did not take action at the first time. After all, no matter what, this guy did not come up to shout and kill to ruin their good deeds.

Finally, a white-bearded Taoist priest with a more mature face came to greet them.

The old Taoist priest bowed slightly and spoke happily.

"It turns out that you are a Taoist monk. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar, I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar..."

"We just thought that it was a demon from somewhere, and it was a misunderstanding."

"Since you believe in the three stars of happiness, wealth and longevity, you are our comrades. Come in and take a seat."

The old Taoist priest spoke in a friendly tone with a bit of enthusiasm.

The other Taoist priests stared at him, as if they were reluctant to look away.

Obviously, this was a Hongmen Banquet.

Chen Xi was not afraid of this at all. He accepted the invitation with a smile and walked in.

He found a cushion nearby and sat down casually.

From beginning to end, he looked calm and relaxed.

"Dear Taoist priests, I have heard some rumors before that only heaven and earth are worshipped in Wuzhuang Temple."

"Why are the three gods of Fu, Lu and Shou worshipped in Wuzhuang Temple now?"

"Can you Taoist priests explain one or two?"

The old Taoist priest didn't seem to be crazy so completely. At least he could think.

He was full of emotion and talked freely.

"To be honest, the statues of the three gods of Fu, Lu and Shou were personally invited by our two junior brothers Qingfeng and Mingyue."

"Worshiping the three gods of Fu, Lu and Shou can make oneself immune to all diseases, as blessed as the East Sea and as long-lived as the South Mountain."

"Then we will all live forever..."

The Taoist priests grinned with strange expressions.

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard it.

"If so, what caused this?"

"Why are there scars on the statue? This is really treasonous."

He said, and pointed at the two sword scars on the statue.

The Taoists looked gloomy when they heard this.

This touched their sore spot, causing a flash of anger in their eyes.

The old Taoist gnashed his teeth and spoke.

"It's still those two bastards!"

"Qingfeng Mingyue is selfish. They have eaten ginseng fruit before, so they don't need to worry about their lifespan."

"They drink milk and curse their mothers, guard the back garden, and don't let us go in, watching us die of old age."

"It's hard to find conscience, invite the three stars of Fu Lu Shou, so that we can step into the gate of longevity."

"But they hinder us from further worship and ascend to heaven!"

"Master, Master, I know Master!"

"Bah! Master loves them so much, how can these two little bastards understand our difficulties!"

The Taoist priests are talking and talking, crazy.

From this point of explosion, it can be seen that this resentment has been accumulated for a long time.

Chen Xi listened to the Taoist priests' venting in silence, and he understood something in his heart.

Although he didn't know what happened specifically at the beginning, from the information revealed by these crazy Taoist priests,

Qingfeng Mingyue, it seems, is not as bad as he imagined...

Yes, the words of the crazy Taoist priests have cleared Qingfeng Mingyue.

After all, according to what they said, Qingfeng Mingyue prevented them from worshipping the three-star statue because he did not want them to attain the Tao and ascend to heaven.

And those who understand will know what the consequences of attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven are.

From this, we can see that Qingfeng Mingyue had good intentions at the beginning.

Although I don't know how it is now, but Qingfeng Mingyue was once a person who had attained the Tao and was completely true.

Just as Chen Xi was guessing about this, the old Taoist priest showed impatience and greed in his eyes.

He casually broke off three dead branches and handed them to Chen Xi.

"The monk's doubts have been solved. Let's burn incense together and worship the three gods of fortune, wealth and longevity..."

The eyes of the Taoist priests were fixed on Chen Xi.

They had undisguised expectations on their faces, and they all looked eager to make a move.

In this situation, anyone who saw it knew that there must be something wrong!

However, Chen Xi was not in a hurry. He took the dead branches and asked another question.

"Master, I just saw a few bloody babies in the temple. It seems that they had a conflict with you."

"I don't know what the reason is?"

Seeing Chen Xi asking questions here and there, the old Taoist priest had lost his patience.

"Those blood babies were created by Qingfeng Mingyue, and are called infant ginseng fruits."

"Before they were formed, they looked like placenta, so they were called fetal ginseng fruits."

"Infant ginseng fruits like to hunt and eat things that can increase their lifespan!"

"We worshiped Fu Lu Shou, and longevity peaches grew in our brains, so they were naturally targeted by blood babies."

"As for the rest, we will know after the monks burn incense!"

"Monk, burn incense quickly!"

The old Taoist priest couldn't wait to urge them, and his response became more perfunctory.

Chen Xi had just seen with his own eyes that they sacrificed their own kind and robbed immortal meat.

So he naturally knew why these crazy Taoist priests were so persistent in asking him to worship the gods.

"Heh..."

Chen Xi raised his head with interest and looked at the statue.

The statue was quite strange, making people feel very awkward.

The crazy Taoist priests around him were full of expectations, drooling.

Seeing this, Chen Xi wanted to play with them and see how this group of little demons, or even a piece of broken stone that was randomly put together, could defeat him.

So, he had no taboos, picked up the three incense sticks, and bowed to the statue!

For a moment, the crazy Taoists were ecstatic.

However, this scene did not last too long.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by a strange sound, whether it was the crazy Taoists, Chen Xi, or the black-hearted old lady, their pupils could not help but shrink suddenly.

Before Chen Xi finished bowing, the statue made up of the three stars of Fu, Lu, and Shou on the altar actually appeared cracks.

Then, perhaps because there were too many cracks in the lower body, the statue actually fell forward.

Coincidentally, Chen Xi, who was facing the statue, suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

This statue, no matter how you look at it, seems to be... worshiping him?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, this strange and mysterious statue shattered into debris with a "bang!".

Instantly, the air in the hall seemed to freeze at this moment.

The crazy Taoist priests fell into a dead silence at this moment.

But soon, they reacted, and they were all confused, with horror on their faces, at a loss.

"How, how is this possible! The statue of Fu Lu Shou was broken?"

"What's going on? Why did the statue break when the monk bowed!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"It's over, it's all over..."

The old Taoist priest thought of something first, drew out his magic sword and glared at Chen Xi.

"You thief bald! What means did you use to destroy our statue!"

"This is our life and property. Without the statue, how can we live forever?"

However, what it didn't know was...

At this moment, Chen Xi's eyes flashed with astonishment, and he was also a little puzzled.

He hadn't done anything yet, he just bowed casually, how come the statue broke?

Could it be just a coincidence that the statue couldn't bear the weight at this moment?

Chen Xi was puzzled, and the Taoist priests around him were already looking unfriendly and surrounded him.

They held magic swords, chanted spells, and had twisted expressions, as if they wanted to eat Chen Xi alive!

Seeing this, the black-hearted old lady's originally dormant mind became active again.

If these Taoist priests could make this monk embarrassed, she might be able to take the opportunity to escape...

"How to live forever?"

"It's very simple, I will send you to the west, right?"

"What a pity... Originally, I didn't think of doing it so soon this time."

Chen Xi gathered his mind and nodded slightly.

The nine-ring tin staff hit the ground, and the nine rings rang together, creating invisible ripples.

The hall shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Damn you monk! You're courting death by fighting us here!"

"The lucky star is shining brightly, and you'll avoid disasters and seek good fortune!"

"Enter the gate of the fortune star, and your merits will last forever!"

"The longevity star will shine forever, and you'll live forever!"

A group of Taoist priests with white hair and high foreheads chanted mantras frantically.

In an instant, the sun and moon lost their light, and the stars shone brightly.

Chen Xi felt something in his heart and looked up.

He saw the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity in the sky, shining brightly.

The light of the stars, through many obstacles, descended here.

A wisp of mysterious breath gradually grew and slowly emerged...

When this breath appeared, all the creatures in the field felt a chill on their backs and their hair stood on end.

At this moment!

Three vague, blurry, and unclear figures seemed to appear in the eyes of the monsters!

"Fu Lu Shou?"
