The whole world is so illusory and weird. The sky and the surrounding space are covered with endless black lines. The scenery in the distance is like pieces of canvas that have been roughly pieced together. There are several iron locks that go straight into the sky.
It is the center of the world. One end of these iron chains is submerged into the sky, and one side is connected to a platform floating in mid-air. On the platform is a man bound by iron chains, with his upper body exposed and pale skin exposed.
Se, half-kneeling on the ground, with his head lowered, his long black hair covering his face, as if he had been dead for a long time, silently.
Suddenly, the peace of the world was broken. Stairs formed by energy rose out of thin air, connecting from the ground to one end of the platform. A young man with the same long black hair slowly stepped forward and strolled onto the platform.
In front of the tied man, his expression was leisurely and casual, like a monarch inspecting his own territory.
The young man looked down at the man kneeling on the platform. He suddenly knelt down and grabbed the man's long hair. His eyes met a pair of unruly eyes, as crazy as at the beginning of the seal.
and cruelty, from which no trace of any beauty or goodness in human nature can be found.
The young man didn't pay attention to this, but his face became a little more solemn. His free left hand suddenly made a palm like a knife and stabbed it hard into the prisoner's chest. However, there was no scene of blood and flesh splattering at this time. The pale-skinned man
The man seemed to be a clay figure. Under the sunken chest, the boy's left hand was actually sucked into his body.
Like a flame, following the boy's movements, masses of dark purple energy with an unknown meaning were spreading from the body of the pale-skinned man along the boy's left hand to his whole body.
The prisoner's face was distorted, he kept struggling, and roared, but the young man remained unmoved. The left hand inserted into the prisoner's chest even rotated vigorously.
As time went by, the deep purple energy covering the surface gradually enveloped the young man's body. The faint light flickered and kept changing. At the same time, the body of the man bound by the iron chain seemed like a clay doll.
It generally continues to dissolve and disappear until it is completely gone.
When there was no figure at the end of the iron chain, the deep purple energy surrounding the young man finally stopped flickering and changing. However, when this energy subsided from his body like water, what was revealed was not the young man's face, but the young man's face.
It's the man who was bound by chains before.
After the initial doubt, the man stared at his hands unconsciously and suddenly laughed wildly.
Snap!
The man was smiling when he suddenly shuddered. As his body shook, a figure jumped out of his body and rolled on the platform before standing still. It was the young man from before.
The young man seemed to have turned a blind eye to the strange events that had happened before, with a look of joy on his face that could not be concealed. It was not until the man who was a prisoner not long ago cast a fierce gaze on him that the young man seemed to react and his face calmed down.
In Shikamaru's mental space, a fight started.
…………
Shikamaru sat cross-legged on a futon. There were no lights in the simple house, and the only light in the house came from the bright moonlight.
A faint light shines from the window onto Shikamaru's raised palm, illuminating a ball of energy that is as black as ink and is still squirming. Its edges are constantly rising, as if there is something inside that wants to break out of the cocoon.
Shikamaru stared at the energy in his hand with concentration, and seemed not to notice that the Bagua seal on his neck gradually began to emit a faint light. The sealing technique began to loosen under the power of chakra, creating cloud patterns like flames. Since then, it has emerged, starting with the sealing rune, and spreading to other parts of Shikamaru's body.
At the same time, the spiritual energy condensed in Shikamaru's hand also underwent significant changes under the influence of the curse seal and Orochimaru's consciousness. A trace of undetectable deep purple energy suddenly appeared in the dark spiritual energy. , and continued to expand his influence. As time passed, the ball of energy in Shikamaru's hand was finally completely filled, and the dark spiritual energy was rejected back into Shikamaru's body. This ball appeared from Shikamaru's body, However, it had nothing to do with his spiritual heart. It was even a hostile deep purple energy that seemed to be naturally repelling Shikamaru. It was constantly twisting and changing, and seemed to be out of his control at any time.
"That's enough." Shikamaru, who had always been expressionless, suddenly said in a deep voice, as if he was reminding himself of something. As soon as his voice fell, the curse seal cloud pattern that almost filled his whole body seemed to slow down unwillingly. Retracting into the Bagua seal, the purple energy condensed in his right palm gradually disappeared.
"It's done." When the curse seal and the deep purple energy completely disappeared, and Shikamaru's consciousness returned to clarity, he couldn't help but breathed a deep sigh of relief, wiped a layer of fine sweat that had unknowingly oozed from his forehead, and was relieved. I thought: "It's time to get out of here."
Shikamaru has been staying in this temple for a while. Anyway, it's time to leave. He is a rebellious nin after all. If he waits a little longer, I'm afraid there will be trouble coming. Naturally, he has no fear, he just doesn't want to disturb him. He is just a monk in this temple. Now that he has successfully researched the new technique, he wants to leave here as soon as possible.
Shikamaru stood up from the futon and moved around in the room. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he decided to get up and leave now. Since he had made up his mind, with his vigorous and resolute style, he naturally acted quickly, simply because he didn't have much luggage. , it has been sorted out in a while.
When Shikamaru walked out of the room, he did not go directly to the temple gate and leave from there. Instead, he came to the abbot's residence. Seeing that there were still fluorescent lights coming from inside, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The abbot's slightly tired and hoarse voice came from the room. Without asking who it was, Shikamaru was directly allowed to enter the room.
"Master." In terms of simplicity, the abbot's residence was almost the same as Shikamaru's residence, and the space was not much larger. After Shikamaru entered the house and closed the door, he saw him sitting at the table, calculating accounts under the light of the big lamp. , Ben Ben bowed first and said, "I'm here to say goodbye."
"Oh." The abbot put down the account book in his hand and looked at Shikamaru, but there was no surprise on his face. After all, Shikamaru was obviously not a person who stayed in the temple for a long time. It was not surprising to say goodbye at this time, but the abbot's behavior seemed a bit... cold.
Shikamaru didn't take it seriously. He took out a stack of money from his ninja bag, stepped forward and put it on the abbot's table, and said in a deep voice: "I've bothered you for a long time, but I can only use these common things to express my thoughts. Master, please forgive me."
The abbot didn't mean to refuse at all. After hearing Shikamaru's words, he simply nodded his head and saluted him: "Thank you so much, donor."
"Master, if anyone comes to the temple to inquire about information after I leave, tell them that I am going to the Kingdom of Thunder. There is no need to hide it, so as not to cause trouble to the temple." Shikamaru said solemnly.
The abbot smiled slightly and nodded silently.
Seeing this, Shikamaru bowed to the abbot again and was about to leave the room. Halfway through, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Speaking of which, I don't know the master's taboo yet."
There are not many monks in the temple, and most of them are not qualified to call the abbot by his name. Like Shikamaru, they all just call him abbot. There are only three old monks who are qualified to call the abbot by his name. One is practicing closed-mouthed Zen, and Lu
Shikamaru rarely sees him. One insists on practicing hard and is taciturn. The last one likes to study Buddhist scriptures and also likes to be silent. As a result, until now, Shikamaru is a little embarrassed to find that he still doesn't know what this person has awakened him to.
What is the name of the old monk who thought of it?
"Taoism." The abbot responded crisply.
It’s really an unpleasant name for Dharma. Shikamaru smiled. The old monk who practices closed-mouth meditation is called “Daozhen”, the one who persists in ascetic practice is called “Daopu”, and the one who likes to study Buddhist scriptures is called “Daohong”. In addition, this person who claims not to believe in Buddhism
A "Taoist" abbot, the former abbot had a superior view of others.
