Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 371 Meeting at the Ancestral Temple

After a few more days, the King of All Beasts and Leopard Crazy finally returned to the Buzzing Peak. At the same time, more than a dozen beast spirits of different appearances also went up the mountain.

The King of Beasts led the beast spirits toward the forest on the north side, apparently to hold a meeting.

Chu Xiaomu was very curious and followed them out to watch the fun.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the forest became denser. After walking for another few dozen feet, I saw a huge stone house with a pointed roof hidden among the branches and leaves. It was mottled with green and black, and had dead wood branches. It was obviously very old.

Xiangli raised his nose and sniffed, saying, "Hmm, the smell of the ancestral temple has never changed, it's really comfortable..." After that, he sat down on the spot with a bang, not caring about the branches and stones under his butt.

The door of the Laozu Temple was wide open, and inside he could see a stone statue of a human being standing more than ten feet tall. Judging from its appearance, the statue was not carved, but more like a natural thing, which made him amazed and admired.

The King of All Beasts led the white-haired old ape into the temple first. The other beast spirits could not be summoned and had to wait outside for the time being.

Chu Xiaomu walked to the temple entrance and looked inside. At the far end of the temple, there was a strange-looking dark red stone chair, which was probably the throne of the beast kings. On the left and right sides of the big stone chair, there were more than a dozen smaller stone chairs, which were the seats of the beast spirits. Behind them were a row of burnt black wooden pillars, with the capitals covered with pine oil, which exuded a fragrant scent.

Chu Xiaomu thought, I walked around the top of the mountain yesterday, but it was a pity that I didn’t find this temple. Otherwise, I could go in and sit on the big stone chair of the King of Beasts. How majestic that would be.

The beast spirits were all very surprised to see that there was actually a person living on the Buzzing Peak.

A little gray monkey was very naughty, chirping and pulling Chu Xiaomu's hair from time to time. It was nimble and fast, following Chu Xiaomu wherever he went, pulling a handful of hair and running away. Chu Xiaomu could not avoid it and could not catch up with it, which made him very annoyed.

It was not until Xiangli was called that the monkey dared not to provoke Chu Xiaomu again.

Chu Xiaomu didn't want to provoke him, but he kept his eyes on the ignorant Qisheng. While Qisheng had his back to him, the little monkey hung upside down from the branch and quietly pulled his tail.

But Qisheng seemed to have eyes on his back. When the monkey was about to pull his tail, he suddenly took two steps forward, just avoiding the monkey's dirty hand, and then raised his hind hoof and kicked the little monkey on the forehead. The little monkey screamed and flew to find its mother.

The monkey mother turned out to be an old woman with a hunched body, disheveled hair and a monkey face. While comforting the crying little monkey, she climbed onto a branch and shouted loudly, asking who had bullied her precious child and asked him to come out and fight her.

All the beast spirits knew that this monkey-faced old woman was difficult to deal with. It was not because of her magical power, but because of her scoundrel spirit that was hard to resist. So they all pointed at Qisheng and said in unison: "It's this!"

The monkey-faced old woman was furious, and she took out a black wild fruit from her dirty pocket and threw it at Qisheng. The wild fruit flew straight out, making a whistling sound, with great speed and force.

But Qisheng dodged it with a light jump. The beasts were very curious and came to watch.

The monkey-faced old woman became even angrier and took out wild fruits from her pocket and threw them at Qisheng, but unfortunately he avoided them one by one.

What is hard to understand is how her small pocket could hold so many strange and varied wild fruits, which seemed endless.

The wild fruit didn't hit Qisheng, but when it hit the ground, the flesh splattered everywhere, and Qisheng couldn't avoid it. A lot of green, red, or black fruit flesh splattered on his legs and body, making them dirty and sticky. The layer of fruit flesh on the ground also gradually softened and turned into a sticky mucus. Qisheng's legs were covered with a lot of mucus, and it seemed difficult for him to jump and dodge.

All the animal spirits were laughing and watching the "battle" between a monkey spirit and a horse.

The monkey-faced old woman saw that Qisheng was trapped by the mucus and had slowed down his dodging movements. Suddenly, she took out a wild fruit as big as a fist and full of thorns, and shouted, "Let me see how you can dodge this time!" She held the fruit high above her head with both hands and smashed it at him with a grin.

Qisheng was breathing heavily and looked very angry. When he saw the monkey-faced old woman taking out the big fruit, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and hit the monkey-faced old woman who was standing on the branch with his head.

The monkey-faced old woman had never expected that the pony could jump more than ten feet high, and at an incredibly fast speed. She wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and was hit by Qisheng. She fell to the ground with a thud, and cried out in pain.

Qisheng landed lightly about four or five feet away.

Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but cheer loudly, thinking to himself, how dare you, an ugly and old female monkey, bully Shenma Chenghuang, aren't you asking for trouble?

The other animal spirits were also very surprised when they saw it. No one could have imagined that this ordinary pony could have such abilities. It might not be an ordinary horse, but could very well be a spirit.

All that was heard was the rough voice of the King of Ten Thousand Beasts shouting in the temple: "All beast spirits return to their positions, look up at the mountains and ask the rocks, use fire to guide the spirits, and respectfully ask the ancestor of the beast spirits to point out the way out of the maze..."

All the beast spirits walked into the stone temple and found a stone chair to sit on. The monkey-faced old woman didn't dare to make any more noise, she got up from the ground obediently, and then limped to the last stone chair and sat down.

What made Chu Xiaomu feel strange was that most of these beast spirits sat on the 18 stone chairs in the left row, while almost no one sat on the right row, with only two beast spirits sitting there. One of them was a pointed-faced woman in yellow clothes, sitting on the third stone chair in the right row. She had no other special features and did not look like a beast spirit at all.

The King of All Beasts prostrated himself before the stone statue in front of him, and shouted, "I respectfully ask the Beast Spirit Ancestor to show me the way..."

All the beast spirits shouted in unison: "Please respectfully ask the beast spirit ancestor to give us some guidance..."

Chu Xiaomu thought, this stone statue turned out to be their beast spirit ancestor. Could it be that stones could speak?

I also saw that the stone statue was surrounded by some small stone sculptures about a foot high with strange carvings. On each stone sculpture was a cluster of red, yellow, purple or blue flames.

Judging from the shapes of these small stone sculptures, they are surprisingly similar to the "Ten Scatterings" taught by Huai Fucao.

The white-haired old ape walked into the temple with a large bunch of black and yellow hay in his hand, and began to recite a series of strange secret words.

Chu Xiaomu took a closer look and found that the hay in the white-haired old ape's hand was actually Artemisia selengensis.

The white-haired old ape chanted for a while, and the hay in his hand suddenly caught fire, emitting white smoke that gently floated towards the stone statue in the middle and the small stone sculptures around it, and the smoke became thicker and thicker.
