The golden light flashed again, and Shen Lang suddenly appeared under the Bodhi tree in the Pure Land.
The bodhi tree has changed a lot compared to before. The trunk is cracked, the branches are withered and fallen, and the breath is so weak that Shen Lang can't help but look surprised. The young man in cassocks who was guarding the Pure Land saw Shen Lang coming out of hell. Returning from the abyss, he clasped his palms together and said: "Amitabha! Donor Shen can return safely. It seems that the poor monk has made a mistake after all. The poor monk has offended many people before, so he begs Donor Shen.
forgive."
Shen Lang frowned. The divided souls of the Eight Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattvas were still aggressive before, but now their attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn, which made Shen Lang a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Since the master is no longer hostile to Shen, Shen will naturally not hate the master. The previous matter should be regarded as in the past."
Shen Lang said calmly, and then asked curiously: "But there is something unclear about Shen, why does the Samsara Heavenly Lord insist on preventing me from entering this abyss of hell?" The young man in cassocks explained: "The poor monk told the Samsara Heavenly Lord earlier The last words of the past were 'forbid the chosen ones to enter the heavenly prison of reincarnation', but this was only the first sentence. The last sentence of Tianzun's last words was 'if you can block it, then stop it, if you can't block it, that's all'. Now I think about it
Come on, Tianzun may just want to test Benefactor Shen."
Shen Lang felt relieved. Perhaps the Samsara Heavenly Lord was just worried that the evil corpse in the abyss of hell would be harmful to him, the chosen one, and had no other motives.
"Don't worry, Master, I have got rid of the evil corpse imprisoned in the Reincarnation Prison."
Shen Lang briefly described some things that happened in the Abyss of Hell.
The young man in cassock sighed: "Amitabha, Donor Shen is indeed my lucky star in hell. The thing that Tianzun was most worried about during his lifetime was that the evil corpse broke through the seal and came out to do evil in the world."
"Donor Shen's ability to kill the evil corpse this time can be regarded as fulfilling Tianzun's last wish before his death. It can also be regarded as solving a serious problem for the poor monk. Thank you Daoist Shen for your kind deeds."
The young man in cassock showed gratitude in his eyes and thanked him repeatedly.
"It's just a matter of following the trend, it's nothing to worry about."
Shen Lang shook his head, turned his eyes to the weak Bodhi tree, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did this Bodhi tree become like this?" The young man in cassocks explained: "Donor Shen didn't know something, the former Heavenly Lord After sealing the evil corpse, this tree was planted to continuously provide energy for the seal. Just now, the seal of the Hell Abyss was suddenly shaken, and the power of the seal was greatly weakened. This Bodhi tree
The tree also suffered backlash, its roots were destroyed, and it became like this."
"I see."
Shen Lang finally understood that the previous seal of Hades Palace was the energy provided by the Bodhi tree in the Pure Land.
After the Ksitigarbha evil monk's soul exploded, he severely damaged the seal of the Hades Palace, greatly weakening the power of the seal, thus affecting the Bodhi tree. Although the Bodhi tree in front of you was destroyed by the roots and withered into shape, its body was still intact. Retaining a considerable amount of energy, Shen Lang couldn't help but said: "This tree has certain benefits for Shen. I wonder if Shen can take the juice from this tree."
liquid?"
"Now that the evil corpse has been killed, it doesn't matter whether the tree exists here. Donor Shen can take it away." The young man in cassock was reasonable and agreed to Shen Lang's request.
"Thank you, Master, for your permission."
Shen Lang clasped his fists in thanks, then offered up the purple gold gourd, dug out the roots of the Bodhi tree, and began to absorb the remaining spiritual liquid in the tree.
It is worth mentioning that this tree is called "Aoki Bodhi", which is the spiritual seed of heaven and earth in the Lich Age. Although it ranks almost at the bottom of all the spiritual seeds of heaven and earth, it is enough to warm the glazed heart lamp fire seed in Shen Lang's body.
.
After spending several hours, Shen Lang borrowed the purple gold gourd to suck up the spiritual fluid of the Aoki Bodhi tree.
The purple gold gourd holds half a bottle of spiritual liquid, which should increase the ability of the glass heart lamp in your body to a higher level.
Before leaving, Shen Lang did not forget to ask: "Master, if I want to return to the seventeenth level of hell, how can I travel through the tunnel of reincarnation?"
Recalling that he had promised Mengxuan'er before that he would take her out of the underworld with him, he had not forgotten this agreement and couldn't help but ask the young man in cassocks.
"If a living person walks to the front of the reincarnation tunnel, he can lead to the eternal world. If he walks to the opposite side, he can reach the entrance of the reincarnation tunnel of the seventeenth level of hell." The young man in cassock explained.
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
After Shen Lang clasped his fists in thanks, he stepped into the reincarnation tunnel at the end of the Pure Land.
The environment of the reincarnation tunnel in the eighteenth level of hell is very different from that of the previous levels. The terrifying whirlwind of reincarnation is like the mouth of an abyss, making it almost impossible to avoid.
Fortunately, Shen Lang activated the power of Shennong in his body in the abyss of hell. At this moment, he opened up the Innocent Holy Light and could easily overcome these whirlwinds of reincarnation.
Shen Lang followed the instructions of the young man in cassocks, walked in the opposite direction, and indeed returned to the entrance of the samsara tunnel on the seventeenth floor.
With a "whoosh" sound, Shen Lang flew out of the reincarnation tunnel in reverse direction and arrived at the corridor at the end of the seventeenth level of hell. There were a large number of petals scattered around. It was the hillside where Shen Lang and Meng Xuan'er had a fierce battle.
"Master Shen, you are finally back. Xuan'er almost thought you had forgotten me!"
A bloody silhouette rushed forward like a ghost, it was Mengxuan'er, with a look of surprise and joy on her pretty face.
Shen Lang responded with a smile: "Miss Xuan'er, Shen will leave hell soon and return to the ordinary world. According to the previous agreement, I will take the girl to leave with him."
"Really?"
Mengxuan'er's bloody pupils shone brightly. This happiness came so suddenly that she could hardly believe it. She hurriedly asked: "Young Master, did you solve the bald donkey on the 18th floor?"
Shen Lang nodded and said: "It is better to say that it is a reconciliation than a solution. I will discuss this matter with Miss Xuan'er in detail when I have time. In short, the master will not stop us from leaving hell now."
"Great! Hehe, Xuan'er knew that the young master must have this ability."
Mengxuan'er was so excited that she couldn't contain herself. She quickly kissed Shen Lang on the cheek and curved the corners of her mouth into a beautiful arc.
Although the soul body has no sense of touch, Mengxuan'er's bold move still made Shen Lang's mind wander.
Shen Lang was a little speechless, subconsciously took a step back, coughed and said: "Shen also has a family. If Miss Xuan'er reaches the mortal world, please be more careful."
"I know! I will do whatever the young master wants me to do." Meng Xuan'er hugged Shen Lang's arm and said coquettishly, as if she didn't know what shyness was.
Shen Lang was the worst at dealing with this kind of girl. He didn't bother to worry so much and said, "Without further ado, Shen is leaving now. Please ask Miss Xuan'er to follow me closely." After that, Shen Lang rushed in.
In the reincarnation tunnel on the seventeenth floor, Meng Xuan'er held Shen Lang's arm and entered the reincarnation tunnel together.
