Chapter 5 Abyss(1/2)
~Date: ~September 21~
,
[Netww.] According to legend, this world was originally dark. After 48,000 years, the giant god Pangu opened the world and transformed mountains and rivers. After 48,000 years, Nuwa created humans.
According to legend, the first beam of light in the world is born in the darkest place.
Zhang Xiaofan only felt that his whole body was so cold, and it was so cold that he felt like he was not just his body, but his heart was cold and he was about to die.
But he didn't feel afraid, there was no fear at all, but he felt tired like he had never felt before, and even the strength to open his eyes was gone. It was strange that when his body was extremely sleepy and powerless, his consciousness gradually became clear.
It seemed that something was surrounding him, very gentle and careful, but cold as ice, slowly sucking the heat in his body, and at the same time, it felt a strange feeling of comfort, making people unable to help but want to sleep comfortably like this.
If not, there was a familiar and cold breath in his right hand, rising like a guardian; if not, he suddenly felt that in his left hand, he was holding a cold and soft hand.
He opened his eyes hard in the midst of sleepiness!
That is in the eternal darkness, a beam of light!
In the endless and boundless darkness, a little light quietly lit up in front of Zhang Xiaofan's eyes. It was a faint, with a white light. She floated in the darkness and entangled Zhang Xiaofan, like the gentlest woman, holding her beloved lover and lingering with him.
She was like a squirt of smoke, with some emptiness and emptiness. In the air, she gradually transformed into a beautiful and desolate face next to Zhang Xiaofan, kissing the boy's lips!
There was a faint fragrance, a hint of confusion, and there was nothing left with coldness!
The coldness that enters the heart!
The fire stick suddenly rose, and a black green light blocked Zhang Xiaofan's face. The beautiful face, which was transformed by the white light like light smoke, seemed to be a little afraid of it, and had to retreat. Zhang Xiaofan's body shook, turned over, and then he felt over and screamed in surprise: "Ghost!"
According to ancient sayings, only the soul and soul are immortal in life. After a lifetime, the soul and soul will leave the body and go to the next life, and will be reincarnated for generations.
However, there are resentful spirits in the world. Because of the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, and because of fear, evil, fear, fear, and fear, they are attached to the world, looking back on the past, and not wanting to be reborn, this is a "yin spirit".
Take it for granted that Yin Spirit is a thing of Yin Spirit, so it is naturally happy to live in the yin and wet place. The undead abyss is dark and damp, so it is not surprising that there are such ghosts.
But Zhang Xiaofan had never seen such things in his life. When he was a child, he heard adults say that there were ghosts in the Caomiao Village. Later, he heard his senior brothers say that this was called Yin Ling on Dazhu Peak, and he felt a little afraid. When he saw this suddenly, he really turned from beginning to end.
His cry only came from afar in the darkness. In the darkness around him, his voice seemed light and after a long time, a faint echo came back. It was also with his cry, as if something had been alarmed, and it lit up silently in the darkness around him.
Zhang Xiaofan felt his heart beating, and then it was as if the heart in his chest had stopped. He held his breath and looked at a faint white light that was almost exactly the same as the ghost just now, lit up in the darkness ahead.
Then, the left side lit, the right side lit, the front side lit, the back lit, and even he looked up, even the top of his head lit up, and the faint white light flashed.
There were countless ghosts, as if they woke up from their long sleep, and felt the warmth of the human body that had appeared for the first time in hundreds of years, gathering here.
The white light like light smoke drifted unsteadily and transformed into countless faces, including men or women, old or young, beautiful or ugly. However, at this moment, there was only one feeling in Zhang Xiaofan's eyes: cold.
When he thought of the scene where countless ghosts rushed to surround him, his scalp became numb. Fortunately, after the initial horror, he immediately discovered that these ghosts seemed to be quite afraid of the fire stick blocking in front of him, and did not dare to approach the black green light emitted by the fire stick.
But before Zhang Xiaofan could breathe a sigh of relief, the ghosts floating in the air seemed to have discovered something and flew to Zhang Xiaofan's left.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then lost his expression. The soft hand he held in his left hand gradually became colder at this moment. He quickly pulled it hard, and a sound of water sounded, and Lu Xueqi was pulled by him.
With the faint lights around her, Zhang Xiaofan only saw Lu Xueqi's face pale and her eyes were closed, but when she looked at her breathing, she seemed to have no external injuries. Then she felt relieved, looked around, and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
He and Lu Xueqi, who were still unconscious, were at the edge of a bay of water for some reason. They couldn't see the size of the water in the dark, nor did they know that it was a small pool, a large lake, or a legendary huge underground deep sea.
Zhang Xiaofan didn't know why he suddenly had this idea, but in the water, he felt that the water surface was not still, waves of tides bulging, like gentle hands stroking his body.
However, the water is really cold and bone-bone!
Zhang Xiaofan stood up with difficulty and stayed there. Even if he was not harmed by these ghosts, he was afraid that the two of them would freeze to death in the water first. As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and couldn't help but shake his body.
When he was on the platform, his back was hit by the old man and the wild dog Taoist. Liu Hao was hit at the same time, and his injuries were really serious. At the same time, the black and blue light of the fire stick seemed to be sensing and dimmed a little. Almost at the same moment, countless faint lights of the ghosts around him lit up at the same time, and the faces that turned into humans revealed infinite desire.
Zhang Xiaofan was shocked and quickly calmed down. The light of the fire stick lit up again, calming the ghosts. Zhang Xiaofan struggled to pull Lu Xueqi toward the shore. This short distance made him feel so long.
Finally, they arrived on the hard ground, and Zhang Xiaofan sat on the ground and gasped.
Around them, countless ghosts were dancing and wandering outside the black and green aperture of the fire stick.
Zhang Xiaofan stared at the wandering lights in a daze, remembered the last memories in his mind before he was unconscious, remembered Lu Xueqi flying over, grabbed his hand, and remembered the endless dark abyss under them when they fell. He even vaguely remembered that before he lost consciousness, there was a familiar Buddhist chant that rang on that platform.
Then it must be that Senior Brother Faxiang and the other four have arrived!
Zhang Xiaofan said this in his heart. With the help of the four of them, and with the practice of Qi Hao and Zeng "Net" themselves, there should be no problem. If Senior Brother Qi is fine, I believe Senior Sister Ling'er will not be sad, right?
However, Zhang Xiaofan asked himself almost at the same time, would Senior Sister Ling'er be sad if I die? Maybe she would be a little sad! After all, over the years, she has been with her day and night, and knows that this Senior Sister, who looks beautiful and strong, actually has a gentle and weak side in her heart.
If she heard that Zhang Xiaofan, who had been playing with since childhood, unfortunately died, she would definitely cry? She would definitely be heartbroken, right? She would definitely build a grave on Dazhu Peak if the body could not be found?
I wonder how many times she will come to the grave in the future?
If that were the case, would I be like the ghost around me, miss her, refuse to be reborn, and just linger in the grave, quietly looking forward to the figure in my memory...
The boy sighed quietly and unknown in the quiet darkness!
"Alas".
She let out a soft call, slowly woke up and opened her eyes.
Over the past thousands of years, there has been an ancient question: If you had been asleep for a long time and just woke up, who would be the first person you wanted to meet?
No one knows whether Lu Xueqi had heard of this seemingly boring question, but at this moment, what was reflected in her eyes was Zhang Xiaofan's concerned eyes in the faint white light.
That was in the darkness, the only warmth!
Zhang Xiaofan was happy and said happily: "You woke up, Senior Sister Lu!"
Lu Xueqi did not answer immediately. She seemed to be stunned for a moment, but soon, she returned to normal, and her face returned from initial confusion to a somewhat cold frost. But as she looked around, she couldn't help but be moved again.
"Yin Ling!" Lu Xueqi called out just like Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan nodded and comforted her, "Yes, but don't be afraid. They seem to be a little afraid of my burning. The fire stick should be fine for the time being."
Lu Xueqi also discovered that the countless floating ghosts around him did not pounce on him, but were just wandering around, as if they were very afraid of Zhang Xiaofan's black short stick. After calming down, he couldn't help but say, "What is your magic weapon called? Why is it so powerful?"
Zhang Xiaofan turned red and said, "Call, yell, I'll call it... a fire stick. I don't know how it is so powerful."
Lu Xueqiqi said: "Fire-burning stick?"
Zhang Xiaofan looked at the woman in front of him in the faint white light, with her skin as snow as snow. Although she was a little pale, she was even more beautiful. He couldn't help but lower his head and said, "Yes, I usually cook on Dazhu Peak, and use it to make a fire stick."
Lu Xueqi said nothing for a moment, staring at the ugly black short stick in the air in a daze, and said softly for a while: "Fire Burning Stick! I have been preached by my teacher and practiced hard. I also have the Heavenly Divine Sword, but I am defeated by a Fire Burning Stick?"
Zhang Xiaofan's heart suddenly jumped, and he felt that Lu Xueqi's face turned pale a little more during this moment, and there was almost no blood in sight. He couldn't help but say, "Senior Sister, you won at that time! Moreover, I heard that if you hadn't been too exhausted when competing with me, you might not have lost to Senior Brother Qi Hao in the final..."
The more he spoke, the more he whispered, and later he gradually returned to silent, just because Lu Xueqi looked up silently and looked at him coldly, which made him unable to speak anymore. The faint white light shone on the figures of the two of them.
Lu Xueqi lowered her head again, took a deep breath and said, "How could we escape by chance?"
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and was quite confused, saying, "I don't know." Then he remembered something, pointed his hand at the waterside and said, "But when I woke up, both of us were lying beside the water. Could it be that we were lucky enough to fall into the water and died before we died, and were washed to the shore by the tide?"
Lu Xueqi looked in the direction he pointed, facing the faint white light emitted by the ghost. Sure enough, she saw water in the distance, and there was a faint "rustling" sound of the tide rinsing the shore. On the other hand, although her clothes were mostly dry, they were still a little wet, and it was very cold when they were pressed against her.
It can be imagined that if Zhang Xiaofan had not pulled himself ashore, he would have been frozen to death before he could wake up.
"Thank you," Lu Xueqi suddenly whispered.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook his hand and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay..."
Suddenly, both of them were stunned.
The two people's hands were still tightly held between them until now.
It seemed like it was connected by flesh and blood, as if it had been like this for many years, but there was no feeling at all. It seemed that it should have been like this, as if both of them had forgotten it!
Lu Xueqi slowly pulled her hand back, and Zhang Xiaofan smiled awkwardly, swaying his hand left and right beside him, but he didn't know where to put it.
After a while, Lu Xueqi said, "Before you fell down, you were hit hard by a demon demon. How do you feel now?"
Zhang Xiaofan encountered a general amnesty. Hearing that the Frost woman did not seem to blame him, he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay."
Lu Xueqi said: "Can you still control the sword?"
Zhang Xiaofan had a little luck and felt the pain in his body like a needle, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Lu Xueqi glanced at him and said, "I can't do it either. Let's get up and check around and see if there is a way out. Otherwise, if you keep doing this, you will be surrounded by these ghosts and will sooner or later be sucked into a person and fucked by them."
Zhang Xiaofan took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes."
Lu Xueqi stood up and looked around her body. There was no major external injury, but the meridians and blood inside were a little messy and her whole body was weak. It seemed that it was due to the strong counterstorm power of the Shanhe Fan. The Tianjia Divine Sword, which she cared most, was now returning to the scabbard behind her intact.
She turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaofan again, but saw that he stood up with some difficulty. His figure was not very flexible, and he was obviously still troubled by injuries. At the same time, he also knew how much energy he had put into pulling himself out of the water just now.
"Which level has your Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao cultivated to?" Lu Xueqi suddenly told Zhang Xiaofan.
Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything. Lu Xueqi thought he deliberately refused to answer, so she turned her head and said lightly: "It's okay if you don't say it, but I heard from the master that you only reached the fourth level of practice. That day, all the strange magic weapons were powerful, and I didn't believe it at that time. I saw it with my own eyes today. If you hadn't been for your high practice and strong meridian foundation, you would have been overwhelmed by those demons in the Demon Sect."
Zhang Xiaofan grabbed his head and didn't know what to say for a moment, because he was also a little confused about his practice at this moment, so he went over vaguely.
In fact, Lu Xueqi didn’t know that if we talked about the practice of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao alone, Zhang Xiaofan still had only the fourth level of cultivation at this moment, that is, the realm where he was just able to use magic weapons. However, in Zhang Xiaofan’s body, there is another Buddhist supreme true method, "Brahma Prajna", which is the key to the fact.
Buddhism originally focused more on realizing one's own nature than Taoism. Zhang Xiaofan practiced the Great Brahma Prajna for five years. Although his practice was still shallow, his meridians were stable in his body. After practicing the two peerless true methods of Buddhism and Taoism day and night, he was far superior to young disciples with the same cultivation level.
It is precisely because of this that he was hit hard by the demon demon, Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao protected one layer, and Da Brahma Prajna blocked another layer at the same time, so he was lucky enough to die.
The two of them stood up, Zhang Xiaofan recalled the fire stick back to his hands, and the dark green light spread out, surrounding the figures of the two of them. Lu Xueqi pondered slightly, pointed in the opposite direction of the water, and the two walked towards the endless darkness.
I don’t know how long I walked, but this direction seemed to be without any boundaries. After a long time, the two of them were still walking in the open space. Under this undead abyss, there was no sign of life except that they were astonishingly large.
Some of them were just flying around them, still greedy for the flesh-and-blooded and floating silently up and down.
The more Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi both left, their faces became heavier, and at the same time they felt the yin energy around them was like a tide. At this moment, Zhang Xiaofan only felt that the blood was surging, and waves of dizziness came.
