Chapter 21: The Temple of the Altar

  Ancient Country Returns to the Western Regions of Strange Hearsay

  I really wanted to curse at that time, are you done yet? One moment you say I'm meddling in human affairs, the next you say I'm a Raksha ghost, what am I after all?

  As Yang Cangcang fainted, I suddenly felt a severe pain in my stomach. I rolled and crawled on the ground for half a day, then started vomiting blood nonstop. I almost died. I glared fiercely at Yang Cangcang who had fainted on the ground and shouted: "What kind of curse did this dead woman put on me?"

  Old Three hastily came over and supported me: "Second Brother, are you okay?"

  Xiao Lao also hurried over: "Jun Yang's friend, how are you feeling?"

  After being tossed about half a day, I felt better, only to find that my stomach was empty. I said to Old Xiao: "I'm hungry and want to eat something."

  The horse was already able to stand up and walk around, he and Karamay supported me to the wall, Xiao Lao took out some dry food and water for me, I ate two mouthfuls of compressed biscuits and asked: "What kind of curse did Yang Cangcang put on me?"

  Xiao Lao sighed: "If I had known it was the Soul Devouring Curse, I would not have let her try it. This curse is just like its name says - a spell that devours souls, devouring the soul's vital energy and amplifying the darkness within, thereby temporarily increasing one's spiritual power. However, this curse causes too much harm and may last a lifetime. Jun Yang, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

  "I don't feel anything else, just hungry." I mumbled with a mouthful of rice.

  "You're saying that my second brother's dark side is hunger? I'm going, isn't this the legendary foodie?" The third brother blinked at me. Seeing that I was fine, everyone else also let out a sigh of relief.

  Karamay handed me a bottle of water and said: "Junyang, take a look at this house and see if there's anywhere to go out?"

  I looked around and found that the wall behind the statue of King Daisen was different from other walls, although the color was the same, but at a glance it could be seen that it was not the same material.

  I pointed behind the stone statue and said: "There is a door, it's just disguised as a wall made of different materials, you can definitely get out from there."

  Karamay looked at me suspiciously: "Are you sure? I think they're all the same, this wall might produce spiritual water, one drop can make a person lose their mind."

  I stumbled to my feet and said, "If you don't believe me, I'll go." Karamay handed me his baton, and with a loud crash, I smashed the fake door. The few people were frightened and retreated far away. A huge sound was heard, and a hole appeared on the wall, revealing a faint candlelight, not a single drop of holy water flowed out.

  I was just about to let everyone leave, but I suddenly felt a wave of nausea in my stomach. I threw up everything I had eaten before, and my stomach started growling again. I glared at them furiously and shouted: "What kind of food did you give me? Why did I throw up after eating it? Bring out the food, bring it out!

  They were all startled by my loud roar, and Old Three trembled as he took out a package of ham from his bag and threw it at me, saying: "This is my private dish, eat it." I hastily opened it, feeling the saliva in my mouth was about to overflow. As soon as I opened it, I was suffocated by the smell and felt like vomiting. In anger, I threw the ham on the ground: "Old Three, what kind of thing did you give me? Can this be eaten? It makes me want to vomit just from the smell!"

  I was so angry that I felt like jumping up and down, and a sudden urge to tear Old Three apart emerged in my heart. Suddenly, a voice appeared in my mind: "Zhou Junyang, what's wrong with you? Why have you become like this?" The voice seemed to be my own, and I paused for a moment, thinking, "Yes, what's wrong with me?"

  I saw Lao San, Karamay, Xiao Lao and even Fu Ma staring at me with a strange gaze from afar. I looked at my own hands and saw that my fingernails were growing rapidly, my skin turning dark like coal. I pulled out a strand of my hair, which changed from black to blood red. I threw back my head and laughed loudly - isn't this the appearance of a Rakshasa?

  Fu Ma rushed towards me and shouted loudly: "Jun Yang, hold on tight, don't give in to the other you, one of your eyes hasn't changed color, you can control yourself."

  After Fu Ma finished speaking, a voice in my mind said fiercely: "Eat them, eat them, eat them and you won't be hungry, you need human flesh."

  I covered my head and shouted: "No!" In the last moment of my consciousness, I saw them squeeze out two words: "Run quickly!" After that, I didn't know anything. Later, Old Xiao told me about what happened in detail.

  I completely turned into a Rakshasa and chased after them, ready to eat them up. Lao San carried Yang Cangcang on his back, and the few of them escaped to the main hall.

  As soon as they entered the grand hall, they were stunned. The hall was built with eight pillars arranged in the direction of the Eight Trigrams, each pillar carved with a divine beast. In the center of the Eight Trigrams on the ground was engraved the pattern of Taiji, and above the Taiji pattern was placed a crystal coffin. Inside the coffin lay a stunningly beautiful woman.

  As someone came out, the stunning beauty with an icy gaze looked at them, holding my Ghost King chain in her hand. Lao San saw her and suddenly took a cold breath, his upper and lower lips trembling as he said: " Luo...Luo...Luo Sha Ghost Queen!"

  The Rakshasa queen winked at us a few people where we were, and suddenly several withered hands stretched out from the wall, holding us firmly in place, unable to move.

  Lao San was trembling all over and asked Xiao Lao: "Isn't she going to eat us up?"

  Xiao Lao fell silent for a long time before saying: "The Rakshasa Queen seems to not want us disturbing her. This formation, I seem to have seen it somewhere before?"

  Karamay hastily said: "Old Xiao, this seems to be the Taiji Rebirth Formation."

  Xiao Lao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Right, right, it's the Taiji Rebirth Formation. This is not good, the queen is probably going to be resurrected."

  At this time, several snickers came from the air, and following the sound, Wu Nai was wearing a big white face around us, sometimes turning into Fu Ma, sometimes turning into Lao San, making ghost faces at us.

  Suddenly, the Rakshasa Queen raised her armlet, and from the eight pillars, the images of divine beasts carved on them appeared in turn. The eight divine beasts emitted different colored lights that converged at the Taiji, and the Taiji diagram on the ground suddenly emitted waves of white light, extremely dazzling. We could only squint our eyes to look. After the waves of white light passed, the armlet began to transform into a long, thin bone, returning to the queen's chest.

  We had already been stunned for a while, and the Rakshasa Queen walked out of the crystal coffin with a sly smile. If we hadn't known in advance that she was the queen of man-eating demons, her beauty would have almost driven us crazy, surpassing that of all other women.

  At this moment, Yang Cangcang woke up and shouted at the Rakshasa Queen: "Hey! Old hag, your purpose has been achieved, let us go quickly."

  The Rakshasa queen said in a sweet and beautiful voice: "Who was I at that time, the leader of the Xuan tribe was trapped in my scorpion tomb for forty years, your tribe should have been destroyed long ago."

  Yang Cangcang suddenly became angry: "You should be eliminated, old woman."

  The Rakshasa Queen smiled complacently and cast us a glance: "I've just been revived, and it's thanks to you that this chain was brought in. For ten thousand years, I've been trapped here; now it's time for me to make up for lost time."

  The Rakshasa Queen opened her big mouth and bit towards Yang Cang, Old Three suddenly didn't know where he got the guts from, loudly shouting: "Halt! Not, shut your mouth! We let you revive, but you repay kindness with enmity? You're also a queen after all, and there's still one of your kind here, are you planning to eat us together?" Old Three looked towards me.

  The Rakshasa Queen's mouth twitched, "My kind?" She looked at me and suddenly froze, the triumphant expression on her face turning to shock. She dryly laughed a few times, but her eyes were filled with tears as she muttered to herself: "I didn't expect that after 10,000 years, I could still see the descendants of him and me."

  "Is Zhou Junyang your descendant? No wonder a single Soul Devouring Curse turned into a Rakshasa Ghost, and you're his descendant? Are you the king of the ancient kingdom of Taiyuan? That would explain why he could purify the residual aura left behind by the king." Yang Cangcang stared at me and said.

  The Rakshasa Queen frowned and shouted: "You actually used the Soul Devouring Curse on him?" She bent down, placing her hand on my head, and suddenly, a strange laughter burst out of my mouth. My hands quickly pulled out the thin bone that had just returned to her body from her chest, saying in an unfamiliar voice: "I've long expected this day would come."

  The queen glared at me with gritted teeth, but all of this was beyond my control.
