79, Chapter 79(1/2)
The sun and the moon rotate, and the stars change.
Zhou can have lost all the concept of time passing.
He didn't know whether it was day or night, nor how long he had been in this state.
The limbs remained motionless because their arms were tightly entangled by iron chains, passing through his pipa bones, connecting the two ends to the pillars on both sides, straightening and tightening the arms, and blood flowed down from the junction of the chain and the flesh, and had already dried up.
Since his spiritual power suddenly exploded, the guardian almost couldn't suppress it. The other party had to strengthen the ban, and gave him several seals, planting half of his body in this Wanlian Stone Forest, and half of his body was locked with iron chains, and he could not move at all.
The lotus flowers that seem to be carved out of stone are clustered around him, and the petals are soothing and relaxing under the moonlight, comfortable and leisurely.
The petals fly blue, and as the stone lotus stretches, it sometimes condenses and disperses, lingers around and can absorb its vitality, be arrogant and dazzling.
But all their ultimate beauty is exchanged for spiritual energy and essence.
Zhou Kui is not dead.
He had a breath, and his wisdom was even sober.
The torture of the flesh and body not only failed to make him unconscious, but instead maintained this kind of awakening.
For the first time he knew that sobering is also painful, because a little bit of pain can be amplified by perception, and there is no way to retreat and nowhere to escape.
It was because he was still awake that all the outside world's voices and slight movements were clearly heard into his ears.
There is a winding and winding path in the middle of the stone forest. People will come in regularly and raise the soul-locking banner in it. The souls fall into the stone lotus and turn them into the nourishment in the lotus pond.
The soul nourishes the stone lotus, which absorbs the essence and feeds back to the residual souls in the pond.
Zhou Ke often heard screams from the pool, one after another, sad and sad. It was not a real cry, but a scream from the depths of his soul, forced into a desperate situation. Countless voices poured out his resentment and unwillingness during his lifetime day and night. Some of them didn't even know that he was dead, and the remnant soul was still clamoring, crying and robbing the sky and the earth, making him feel at ease.
Every few days, someone will collect these remnants of souls and then leave in a hurry.
Sometimes more than one person comes, and they can communicate with each other. Zhou can rarely hear some sounds different from the struggle of the remnant soul, and always concentrates on listening to a few more sentences.
"It's the Zhongyuan Dharma Assembly lately. Why do you have fewer souls in this banner? Tonight, the Buddha's head will save the dead souls. If it is not enough, you will be careful to be blamed."
"Oh, the family of six was originally neatly arranged. Unexpectedly, the woman was abused by her husband's family. She kept saying that she wanted to kill the whole husband's family, so I gave her poison to satisfy her wish. Unexpectedly, she felt soft and regretful when she came to the end, and took the poison alone. As a result, her husband's man said that she was a poisonous woman. When she threw the human body into the wilderness, I could only collect a soul, let alone, unlucky! I am worried that if the soul gathering beads cannot be refined in a few days, I am afraid that I will be even more punished!"
"As long as you spend good night, you are still worried that there will be no soul to regain your Dharma Assembly? There are many people who want to be seen by the Buddha for the first time."
"That's right...what is going on with this person? Just locked here? Who is not dead?"
"Senior brother said that he was a powerful monk and kept him for bait. If someone came to save him, he would be caught in one go."
"I don't look very good either, otherwise I could be locked up here?"
"Haha, don't you know this. He was locked in iron chains and his spiritual power was sucked away by Shi Lian. It is said that Senior Brother Shi almost said that he brought people over. Later, the master personally took action to kill his sect and captured the person. He was fine, and he still had his life left. His disciples were not so lucky. All his souls were filled in this pool, and there was fertilizer."
"Then can the person who saves him pass by the trap?"
"The person who saved him seems to be even more amazing, but the senior brother refused to explain in detail. No matter how powerful it is, it is still a toy in the palm of the Buddha's head and the Buddha's seat. What are you worried about?"
"I'm planning ahead! Having said that, in this world, unless the Wanjian Immortal Sect and Xiaoxian Mansion are connected, who can do anything to us? Qingyun Zen Temple has a lot of thunder and rain, and it is so clear that it is as noble as the world's fireworks. But can they have the momentum of our Wanlian Buddha Land in Luo Dynasty?"
"I love hearing this, haha..."
The sound gradually fades away and gradually disappears.
Zhou Kao moved slightly, and the iron chain sounded lightly, causing severe pain.
The other party's words were seemingly true, but he knew that the last thing he said should be Jiufang Changming.
His deceased master, haha.
Zhou Ke sneered.
How could the other party come?
He wished that nine directions would die forever, and nine directions would naturally be—
Zhou can close his eyes.
Even if you come, you can't beat four palms with one single hand.
This place is so weird.
He had never dealt with Buddhism before, but for the first time he found that the Wanlian Buddha land was glamorous outside and inside...
Zhou Ke sneered again, only he could hear it.
This Buddha land is not much better than his demon sect.
But even though he sneered, he still couldn't figure out the tricks here, and what kind of ghost things these people were doing.
The Ten Thousand Lotus Stone Forest, this lotus pond, also has countless resentful souls that have died in vain, refining the soul and bewitching people's hearts.
"Zhou OK."
He suddenly opened his eyes, regardless of the shaking of the chains and the severe pain of his muscles and bones.
There are still thousands of ghosts crying and resentment everywhere.
He suspected that he had hallucinated his hearing.
But the next moment—
"Zhou Ke, you are still awake, just squeak."
The voice came from the sea of consciousness, and he could respond to the other party without having to speak.
"Nine directions are bright?"
"It's me."
"Where are you?"
"I'm in your heart."
The other party's slight and joking tone made Zhou want to curse.
He really cursed, cursing with all the harshest words to vent all the resentment and anger over the years.
The strength was almost exhausted, and Zhou Ke actually didn't have much strength left. He gasped and struggled to say the last sentence in his sea of consciousness.
"How far is it, how far is it, the nine directions are forever bright, I never want to see you again!"
The other party lost his voice and seemed to have left completely.
Zhou Kai breathed a sigh of relief, but he felt a little confused.
He closed his eyes and prepared to resist the next wave of the stone lotus.
"After so many years, why haven't you changed your awkwardness to your right or wrong?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded again, and suddenly exploded in the sea of consciousness!
Zhou Ke opened his eyes blankly, was slightly stunned, revealing a moment of panic and disbelief.
Perhaps, there are surprises hidden deep in his heart that even he doesn't admit it himself.
He once thought he had been given up, but he didn't believe in fate and would rather start his own business than prove that he was right.
But after going around, I finally returned to the starting point.
"Why are you again..."
"We have little time left, where are you?"
Zhou can remain silent for a moment.
"I don't know, there are many ghosts here. I am trapped by a lotus pond. These lotus flowers are carved from stone, but they will move. They will regularly pour some souls collected from unknown places into the lotus pond. Raise these stone lotus. The better the stone lotus is, my spiritual power will be suppressed. Add this chain and cannot move at all. Even if you come, you are helpless. You..." He paused, and the sarcastic words came to his mouth, but turned into-
"They don't kill me just to attract you, and you don't have to do it for me..."
"I know."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted directly, and the voice in the sea of consciousness was interrupted, and there was no more of the following.
Nine, square, long, bright!
Zhou can grit his teeth.
...
Xu Jingxian thought that some monsters would suddenly appear in the cave, but there wasn't one.
Everything went very smoothly, and several people walked from the entrance of the cave to the end until they saw the light source.
That's not a crystal.
Xu Jingxian can't describe the grand scene before her.
The entire cave was filled with transparent crystals, and the walls were vague. The purple-blue light was emitted by these crystals themselves, soft but extremely bright, enough to be transmitted to the outside.
The room was shining brightly and dazzling.
Even mountains of gems cannot achieve this effect.
Xu Jingxian claimed that he had never seen the world. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After a moment of silence, there was a flash of deity.
When she came back, she saw a real grass growing in the corner of the cave, with a cluster of crystal stones next to it. She could hardly notice it without looking closely.
To be continued...
