Starting as a Blind Beggar and Becoming a God

Chapter 62: Under the Dark Stone StatueChapter 62: Under the Dark Stone Statue

Guan Guan’s face was full of smiles, and she looked extremely innocent.

”it is good.”

Chen Huaian picked up the spoon and took a sip. When the peach blossom soup entered his mouth, a fragrance burst in Chen Huaian’s mouth. It tasted sweet, with a faint floral scent, and had a delicate and smooth texture. It melted in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, with a long aftertaste.

”It tastes good.” Chen Huaian praised from the bottom of his heart.

”Really?” Guan Guan’s eyes blinked, as if to say, ”Brother Huai’an is not lying to me.”

”No, it’s really delicious.”

”Then I’ll go get a bowl for Sister Yun Xi!” Guan Guan happily ran into the kitchen and filled a bowl. Chen Huaian wanted to stop her because it was too late, but he didn’t want to spoil Guan Guan’s interest, so he didn’t say anything.

Because of the Third Elder’s matter, he was worried about Guan Guan going out alone, but Guan Guan didn’t want Chen Huaian to follow her, so Chen Huaian chose to follow her quietly.

He felt relieved when he saw Guan Guan entering the peach blossom forest. Although the peach blossom forest was very close to his Taohua Yiju, he was still worried. It was not until Guan Guan came out of the peach blossom forest that Chen Huaian felt relieved.

Chen Huaian followed Guan Guan until she returned safely to Taohua Yiju.

Chen Huaian felt that this was not a good thing to continue. He had almost forgotten about the Third Elder in the past three months. If he had not gone down the mountain this time, he might really not be able to remember this matter in such a short period of time.

Chen Huaian returned to Taohua Yiju earlier than Guan Guan. If Guan Guan didn’t see him when she came back, Guan Guan would definitely ask him a lot of questions when he came back. In order to avoid this situation, Chen Huaian chose to come back first.

At Guan Guan’s speed, she could return to Taohua Yiju in one or two minutes. Moreover, there was Lao Niu on the road, and Guan Guan’s whereabouts were within Lao Niu’s field of vision, so Chen Huaian was not worried about any problems.

But Chen Huaian waited in Taohua Yiju for more than ten minutes, but Guan Guan still didn’t come. He suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

He hurried to the road that Guan Guan was coming back from, but found that Lao Niu had been knocked unconscious at some point. He hurriedly woke Lao Niu up and asked about the situation.

”Moo.” (There’s a man in black, sneaking up on me!)

”Oops.”

Chen Huaian did not close the old cow that was still lying on the ground. He ran to Bai Changyin’s residence - Moyunju, but Bai Changyin was not there. Chen Huaian immediately thought of what Bai Changyin had said today, the Shushan formation exploration technique.

He knew the place, and without any hesitation, he came to where the formation was - the source formation room.

Before Chen Huaian got close, the source array room was filled with golden light. Chen Huaian pushed open the door, and countless golden runes surrounded Bai Changyin.

Then, Bai Changyin moved his two fingers, and the golden runes automatically floated into the book. A golden light flashed in his eyes, ”Found it.”

”Junior brother, you’re here just in time, let’s go catch the monster!”

”Wait a minute, Second Brother, help me find someone. Her name is Guan Guan, the little girl who gave you peach blossom cakes.”

Chen Huaian spoke quickly, and Bai Changyin did not hesitate at all, and immediately activated the formation again. After a few breaths, Bai Changyin suddenly opened his eyes, ”It’s the same place, let’s go!”

”lead the way.”

Chen Huaian and Bai Changyin left Shushan at a very fast speed. Bai Changyin also recruited five fellow disciples to go with them on the way.

Bai Changyin brought Chen Huaian to a dilapidated temple, and Chen Huaian immediately understood that the third elder of Shushan was really colluding with the demon!
Chen Huaian, Bai Changyin and five fellow apprentices entered the ruined temple together, but did not find any clues. To them, the ruined temple felt like an ordinary ruined temple, nothing special about it.

But Chen Huaian, who had a keen sense of hearing, heard crying, wailing, and... cries for help.

”Second Brother, there should be a hidden formation here. Is there any way to break it?” Chen Huaian asked. Bai Changyin slapped his head when he heard Chen Huaian’s words.

”Junior Brother Chen is right. I was too anxious before and forgot about the existence of the hidden formation. I will break it immediately.” After Bai Changyin finished speaking, he pinched the magic formula with his hands and muttered something. A Bagua diagram appeared under his feet, then soared into the sky and enveloped the entire ruined temple.

A series of crackling sounds were heard, and the stone statue right in front of them shattered. Under the statue was a deep cave. Chen Huaian jumped into the cave without any hesitation, followed by Bai Changyin, and the other five Shushan disciples also quickly jumped into the cave.

As Chen Huaian walked along the way, the smell of blood gradually became stronger, so that in the end, they had to use magic to dispel the smell, because they found that the strong smell of blood contained a confusing resentment.

If they didn’t use magic, they might be confused by the resentment in the smell of blood.

”Second Brother, this place is too weird. Should we ask the elders to come out?”

One of the five Shushan disciples following behind them asked.

”I have used magic to inform my master, but something seems to have happened over there. Let’s first find out what happened here.”

The five disciples nodded slightly, and Chen Huaian couldn’t help but sigh at how reliable this second senior brother was.

The deeper they went, the more white bones began to appear around them. There were runes engraved on those bones, which even Bai Changyin could not understand.

Bai Changyin silently put away the bones. He wanted to find some time to show them to Shangguan Yunxi, perhaps he could decipher the contents on them.

They moved deeper, and suddenly, a tripod appeared in front of them. The copper-green tripod had now completely turned deep red, and some parts were even slightly black.

There are about a hundred children around the tripod. There must be more than just children from the foot of Mount Shu here. There are not so many children who disappeared at the foot of Mount Shu.

At this moment they were all fast asleep without making any sound. Bai Changyin knew at a glance that they were hypnotized, otherwise, with their physical condition, they would definitely not be able to fall asleep.

Some of these children had their arms and legs cut off, some had turned into human pigs, and some even had no lower body! If it weren’t for the faint breath, Chen Huaian and others would have thought he was dead.

”What a beast!” said a Shushan disciple.

I don’t know if it was his voice that awakened the sleeping children, and they woke up and started crying.

”Second Brother, what should we do?” asked a Shushan disciple.

”They have lost their souls, their spirits, their bodies are incomplete, their yin and yang are in disarray. Even if, even if...”

Bai Changyin didn’t know what to say next, but Chen Huaian understood what Bai Changyin said. He had read many books during his three months in Shushan, so he had a certain understanding of this situation.

”Even if we take them out and rescue them, they won’t live long, right?” Chen Huaian said.

Bai Changyin lowered his head, and the five Shushan disciples also lowered their heads. After all, they were just cultivators among the vast number of living beings, not immortals, and they could not save those who had lost their souls.

”Then kill them all.” Chen Huaian said. His words shocked the others. They were about to open their mouths to stop him, but were stopped by Bai Changyin. He understood that they had to do this. Instead of letting them live in pain and prolonging their lives, it would be better to give them a quick death.

”Leave this to Junior Brother, let’s go find Guan Guan.”

”Okay, give me a sword.” Chen Huaian said, and a Shushan disciple handed him a sword. Then Bai Changyin led the five Shushan disciples to fly deeper into the cave.

Chen Huaian walked up to a child without legs holding a sword. The child saw Chen Huaian holding the sword and cried, ”Please, don’t kill me, I can beg, I can beg...” The child’s voice became smaller and smaller.

Chen Huaian raised his sword.

”It doesn’t hurt.”

Chen Huaian’s sword was so fast that it didn’t cause him any pain, and not even blood was splashed.
