In mid-air, the golden halo faded, black light penetrated his fingers, and half of the monk's figure turned into mist. The mist was billowing, and when he tried to gather his body again, it seemed to encounter great resistance. It gathered and dispersed, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
.
"It's hard to come back with the real body...It's hard to gather the clones..." After a few breaths, the afterimage reached the time limit and turned into a golden mist, dissipating like ripples in the Sanskrit sound that filled the sky.
The clone and the monk's shadow occupied by Yu Lei disappeared, and half of the withered Buddha's face of the god and demon turned into a bodhi seed floating in the air. However, the five-color light emitted by this bodhi seed was mixed with a blood-colored light, as if
This bloody light was attracted by something, and slowly urged Bodhisattva to move closer to Zhang Xu. A ray of light flashed and appeared above Zhang Xu's forehead. Zhang Xu's quick hands and eyes caught it and held it in his palm.
When Zhang Xu held the bodhi seed in his hand, his mind felt as if he was possessed by an ancient holy monk. Deep in his soul, he imagined the reality of the universe when Sakyamuni Buddha was enlightened under the bodhi tree, and he felt what was happening in the mountains and rivers of the earth.
Six kinds of changes and vibrations. Immediately, the six paths containing supreme energy emitted from the hand and melted on the bone steps under the feet. All the pressure suddenly disappeared, and the surrounding space began to move, twist, and shift.
The little tiger beast quickly sprang out from the side, and with just one cut of the tiger's tail, it jumped into Zhang Xu's arms.
The Zijin Cauldron received the nine-clawed golden dragon, and with a "buzz" sound, it turned into a golden light the size of a bean and fell into Zhang Xu's Baihui point and disappeared.
The mountains, rivers and trees on both sides were disappearing rapidly, the white bone steps disappeared in the blink of an eye, and everyone was transported to the top of the mountain in an instant.
"Oh, you killed me!"
"Why are you still pressing on me? Get up quickly"
Everyone was in a mess, and it took a while to wake up.
Standing on the mountain peak, looking up into the distance, a sea of clouds rolls between the sky and the earth. The rising sun falling into the sea and the red sun in the sky reflect each other. The glow turns fiery red, and the mountain peak seems to be burning. The sky is red, and the mountains are red.
Yes, the clouds are red, and the earth is also red.
"Mr. Lin, where is this? Is this the end of the Jedi seal?" Huzi asked.
"This should end here, but why do I feel that this road is still continuing deep into Mount Sumeru, but I can't see it!" Wang Chenggu frowned.
"Invisible? Is it blocked by some barrier again?" Zhang Xu asked.
Lin Chenggu cast his gaze into the distance and shook his head for a while, obviously not understanding. He replied: "Maybe!"
"Is this the Flame Mountain? Why is everything so red? Are we on the way to the West?" Cheng Yuanming asked.
"It's hard to say, isn't this Mount Sumeru? If you want to learn the scriptures, you are right in front of you." Liu Lei grinned and said jokingly.
"Dengtianxian Road, why didn't any miracle appear when we came up?" Wang Meng asked seriously.
Liu Lei said: "Our feet are in the ancient Buddhist realm, and Mount Sumeru is also in front of us. Isn't this a miracle?"
The Ancient Buddha Realm! These four words hit everyone's hearts hard, and Liu Lei's words made everyone think for a while. The Ancient Buddha Realm was sealed by the Luotian Formation! Even the road to ascend to heaven was cut off!
"Oh my God, are we really unable to leave? Are we going to die here all our lives?" The desire for survival made everyone unanimously place their hopes on the ethereal prayer to Amitabha.
Is Sakyamuni Buddha still there on Mount Sumeru?
The mood of Zhang Xu and everyone else at this moment was, as the saying goes, despair and hope coexisting, survival and death coexisting.
Seeing that everyone was in a dilemma, Zhang Xu couldn't help but said: "Xian, the Buddha is so illusory that no one has seen it. Please cheer up and never give up until the moment of life and death!"
"There are always variables. I don't know when the ancient scroll will reappear, and maybe it can bring us back to the earth." Huzi continued.
Zhang Xu did not want to disclose the fact that the Mountains and Rivers Society Map and the Purple Gold Cauldron were in his body. He did not know what the situation was. If he told such suspicious things, everyone would find it unbelievable and it would only increase trouble.
"Zhang Xu is right. The top priority is to find a way out. Survival is the last word." Cheng Yuanming was afraid of dying. In the past few days, he had tried his best to win over people around him as allies. At this moment, he was uncharacteristically standing on Zhang Xu's position.
.
Zhang Xu didn't say anything after hearing this, but turned to face everyone and asked: "If there are no objections, let's go down the mountain road and see if we can find a new way out. After leaving this place, we can find a place where there are people and then make plans."
In order not to waste time, Lin Chenggu led Zhang Xu to the highest point, carefully observed the direction and terrain of the mountains, and identified the door to death and the way to life. He determined the best route down the mountain and believed that it would be better to follow this road down the mountain.
I hope to get out of the winding mountains and find a place where people live.
Zhang Xu put down the little tiger beast in his arms, intending to let it leave on its own. The little tiger beast barked at Zhang Xu like a puppy, and bit the corner of Zhang Xu's pants.
, actually refused to leave.
Looking at this little beast that looked like a tiger and a dog, Zhang Xu also felt that he was cute. He couldn't bear to throw it away. He couldn't help but said: "If you can keep up with us, we can take you down the mountain with us. You are all white and look like a tiger."
It looks like a dog, and it looks very much like the ancient strange beast 'Qiongqi' mentioned in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas. Pictures of Strange Beasts". From now on, let's call you 'Qiongqi'."
The little beast nodded as if he could understand people's words, and happily ran to the front of the team alone.
A group of people walked down the mountain. The slope of the mountain stream was steep and slippery, and there were overgrown weeds and trees. Zhang Xu and Hu Zi took out their diving knives to open a path in front of them, cutting out a road by force. Liu Lei was not idle either, helping everyone.
I cut a wooden stick as thick as a cup, which can be used to ward off wild beasts and also to provide strength.
The clouds and mists in the mountains can be said to change endlessly. Sometimes the mountain wind howls, the clouds and mists are filled, like falling into a chaotic world. For a while, black clouds press over the city, and thunder is heard in the ground, which makes people's souls shake. In this way, everyone spent most of the day stumbling and supporting each other.
Zhao Ying walked halfway up the mountain.
"Zhang Xu, can you stop for a moment? I really can't walk anymore." Xiao Yi, as a female, was already exhausted, and she was tired and hungry after repeated shocks.
Hearing this, Zhang Xu thought for a while, called Hu Zi to his side, and looked at the surrounding terrain again. Seeing that there was no danger, he replied one by one: "Everyone, take a rest where you are, and find some wild fruits to satisfy your hunger. If there are any hares,
, it’s better to catch pheasants and the like!”
"Okay, I'm going to catch some wild game for everyone and have a barbecue." Liu Lei grinned and was the first to respond. He pulled out his diving knife and turned around to walk towards the trees on the left.
"Liu Lei, wait, we will go with you." Ji Feng and Wang Meng have always been good friends with Liu Lei. They were worried that something might happen to him if he went alone, so they followed him. The remaining people formed a group of three.
Groups of five gathered wild fruits around to satisfy their hunger.
Where everyone is, the woods are dense, but edible wild fruits are rare and hard to find. I searched and searched, but only found a few green fruits, but they were difficult to swallow. Unfortunately, my stomach was not strong enough, and it made a "gurgling" sound.
The sound kept coming, so I could only swallow it to satisfy my hunger.
While he was eating listlessly, Zhang Xu suddenly smelled an aroma. He glanced along the aroma and suddenly found an old dead vine tree one to two feet thick lying on the ground in the depths of the forest. The roots of the thick trunk sprouted countless branches.
The root system is like a dragon's claw clawing into the hard mountain. Looking from a distance, it looks like a black dragon lying on its post. The main trunk of the tree is covered with dead branches and leaves. Surprisingly, it is found that there is an umbrella-shaped object, like an
The huge mushroom was as red as blood and exuded a faint intoxicating aroma.
"Go and have a look!" Zhang Xu called Hu Zi to go check it out with him. Cheng Yuanming was afraid that something good might happen to pull him away, so he followed closely. Xiao Qihu barked twice and followed with his tail wagging.
When he got closer, he saw the fragrant smell of this thing, which made him feel refreshed. Zhang Xu was shocked when he saw this, and suddenly remembered the description picture in "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", "Isn't this Ganoderma? Look at the shape, color and fragrance.
It’s a rare ‘Red Chi Chi’.”
Zhang Xu put his feet up and touched it with his hands. He felt that the red ganoderma had at least tens of millions of lines. It was probably ten thousand years old. It had absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and the aura of heaven and earth through millions of years of exposure to the sun and rain.
Finally, the color was much brighter than the Ganoderma lucidum I had seen before, and a natural five-color light emanated from it, which was particularly eye-catching in the dark green forest.
Chizhi grows from an old tree and absorbs the essence of the old tree. Drops of red beads like agate seep out from the surface, dripping down along the lines of the red ganoderma. There happens to be a small stone pit underneath, which has formed over time.
There is a small pit of red liquid from which the aroma comes out.
There are several unknown woody plants growing around the stone pit, and there are more than thirty peaches-sized berries sparsely grown on them. They are red and emit a rich fruity aroma, making people's mouth water.
Huzi stretched out his hand to pick one, and said with a smile, "I haven't eaten a bite since I came to Daluo Heaven. I wonder if the taste of this fruit is the same as the one on the tree in our village?".
Just as he was about to enter, he was stopped by Zhang Xu, "Be careful because it is poisonous. The brighter the color of wild things, the more poisonous they are. I have some knowledge about herbs. Let me taste them first. If they are not poisonous, pick them and let everyone share them."
.”
"That's okay. I've also learned some protective techniques against food poisoning in the wild. Once I find something is wrong with you, I'll come to rescue you." Huzi said and handed the berries in his hand to Zhang Xu.
Zhang Xu took it in his hand, put it to his mouth and gently bit the skin. In an instant, a fragrant aroma spread and filled the air. The juice flowed straight down to the internal organs, and the whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
Zhang Xu couldn't help but put all the fruit into his mouth, and the slightly cool juice and the pulp fell into his withered stomach. In an instant, the hunger in his belly was relieved, and there was a slight heat rising from the Dantian, making his whole body feel warm.
Wow, I feel my physical strength has improved a lot.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Zhang Xu thought that there should be no imitation, and said to the tiger one by one, "It should be no problem, let's eat!".
Huzi picked one casually and put it in his mouth. He chewed it and said, "Well, it tastes good, but if you can't fill your stomach with one, I'll have another. I'll leave the rest for everyone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yuanming beside him was already impatient. His eyes seemed to be filled with fire. He rushed forward like a hungry wolf pouncing on food. He grabbed two of them with his hands, biting one on the left and one on the right.
He ate a lot. He looked like he was hungry and wanted to fill his stomach with all the berries in a moment. He picked them and put them in his pocket while eating.
"Cheng Yuanming, do you want to be shameless? Just eat two, is there anyone like you?" Huzi said with a dark face.
"This is a wild fruit, and it doesn't come from your land. Why should you care about it?" Cheng Yuanming retorted with a look of dissatisfaction.
"Okay, don't talk to him anymore. Pick the remaining fruits and bring them to everyone." Zhang Xu didn't even look at Cheng Yuanming and simply ignored him.
"Yes, they must be very hungry too." Huzi picked the remaining sixteen berries, took out the diving net bag and packed them. He stood up and prepared to go back.
