The holy beast of the lineage of ancient monks. This creature has great origins and is the best among masters. Otherwise, how could it be called the holy beast that protects religions?
And it was hanged like this!
Shi Hao's expression changed and he stared at the dead tree. The golden lion's eyes were even more wary, feeling that it was extremely dangerous and watching here.
There were too many dead people on this tree. They were all hanging there. After a long time, they were all dried up. The entire giant tree looked like this on many branches, which looked very scary.
Next, the golden lion's scalp felt tight, its hair stood on end, and it was angry and frightened because it saw another huge creature.
That creature also belongs to the lineage of ancient monks and is a sacred guardian beast, and it is world-famous for its attack power!
This is a lion, of the same race as it, the fearless lion!
The ancient lion has a body shape like a hill, with a thick frame and a terrifying size. However, it does not look so majestic compared to this dead tree, which has long since shriveled up.
The golden fur was dull and skinny. It was strangled to death on a dead tree, with a treetop hanging from its neck. It was more miserable than the death of other creatures.
"My ancestor?!" The golden lion was angry and wanted to rush up and put the ancient lion down.
"Don't act rashly. If you want to die, I will shoot you to death. Don't implicate me." Shi Hao stopped it.
"In the past, one of my ancestors disappeared. It was so powerful back then that I never thought it would die here!" It was very excited, and even more angry and furious.
"You deserve to die well. The creatures who betrayed the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths should be punished by law!" Shi Hao said rudely.
When the golden lion heard this, he wanted to go crazy, but unfortunately, he met a tough Huang, which was like asking for trouble. In the end, he was scarred and helplessly hung his proud head.
After careful observation, Shi Hao determined that this towering ancient tree looked like a huge cemetery with many dead people hanging on it.
Among them, some of the dead bodies were very miserable, having been hanged alive and losing their souls.
He seriously doubted that the bloody swamp underground was left by those creatures.
"Could this tree be... the ancient Bodhi tree from back then?" The golden lion came to this conclusion in shock after looking at it carefully.
The lineage of ancient monks once had a precious tree called Bodhi, which had extraordinary power. Sitting under it and practicing meditation, it was very easy to achieve enlightenment.
It's just that the tree in the past was green and green, full of vitality, could sway with the glow of the sky, and was extremely sacred. It was completely different from this one.
The bodhi tree of the lineage of ancient monks? Shi Hao touched his chin and pondered here, why was this tree completely black and what kind of disaster had it suffered? It was definitely not caused by a lightning strike.
"Could it be that it has been eroded, undergone drastic changes, its divinity has faded, and it has taken on the power of dark attributes?" the golden lion said to himself.
It was not explaining for Shi Hao, but it had its own doubts and wanted to figure it out.
Back then, their lineage rebelled against Jiutian. After their ancestors fled to a foreign land, one thing they never forgot was to obtain the ancient Bodhi tree.
Because this tree is so extraordinary and has great benefits for spiritual practice. At that time, the Immortal Monk King suspected that he would use this tree to achieve enlightenment!
In the end, when the world was in chaos, its ancestor sent one of his descendants to find the ancient Bodhi tree, but the lion never returned.
Now it seems that he was hanged here.
"The ancient tree turned black. Could it be that the blood on the ground nourished it and eroded its divinity?" said the golden lion.
Shi Hao also felt that an accident must have occurred in the past and the former monk's treasure tree was in trouble.
"It is said that practicing under this ancient tree will have unexpected results. Don't you want to give it a try?" the golden lion encouraged Shi Hao.
"It makes sense." Shi Hao nodded without any fear.
The golden lion was not sure whether what he said was true, so he added another fire, saying: "It is said that this ancient tree is the most precious treasure of the ancient monks, because there may be a brand in the tree, leaving the sect's past dynasties.
inheritance!”
"In this case, I will give you a chance to realize the Tao under this tree and realize the eighteen ancient Buddhas for me!" Shi Hao said.
The golden lion opened its mouth and was about to refuse. Shi Hao glanced at it coldly and said: "If you don't understand, I can consider killing you. Because if you want to be my mount, you don't have to be strong.
"
Facing such a barbarian, the golden lion was annoyed but helpless. It was so powerful, and it had never been threatened by its contemporaries. It was so aggrieved.
Then, Shi Hao made no secret of his intention to kill it.
The golden lion had a gloomy face and calmed down under the tree. It tried to understand the truth of heaven and earth. Although it had no good intentions and tempted Shi Hao, this was not something it wanted to do but was afraid of.
Now that it was coerced, it gritted its teeth and really did it.
Because this ancient tree is indeed like this. It has inexplicable power and is a treasure that can help people realize enlightenment.
"Ah..." But as soon as it started, the golden lion screamed, holding its head with a pair of big paws, rolling all over the ground, stained with a lot of blood.
Shi Hao jumped down and stopped riding. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
The golden lion's face was gray and there were cracks between his eyebrows. It took him a long time to calm down and said: "There is something wrong with this tree."
Shi Hao took action and completely sealed the golden lion, making it unable to move.
Then, he sat cross-legged under the bodhi tree and realized the truth cautiously and carefully.
boom!
Just at the beginning, Shi Hao received a terrible shock. This was the result of preparation, otherwise it would have been even more terrifying.
A tragic aura, like a tangible weapon, rushed towards his mind overwhelmingly, with astonishing power!
A trace of blood overflowed from Shi Hao's eyebrows, but he held on!
Vaguely, he saw a huge battlefield, with countless strong men fighting, shouting to kill the sky, and blood was constantly spilled and fell into this place.
This tree was bathed in all kinds of blood with a murderous atmosphere, and finally turned red!
These pictures clearly appeared in Shi Hao's mind, which surprised him. Could it be the reason why the ancient Bodhi tree died?
Things were by no means that simple! Soon, he saw beings beginning to water the Bodhi tree. The container was filled with blood and glowed brilliantly.
Water this tree with divine blood!
Who is that?
In the end, this Taoist tree will turn into a demonic tree, and he did not hesitate to spend the cost to give birth to it like this.
"Roar!"
A loud roar came, resounding in Shi Hao's heart. He saw a golden lion roaring, which almost shook him to pieces, causing even more blood to flow from his eyebrows.
"Ouch..." Then, he saw a huge white elephant, squeezing the sky and screaming, which shook his mind.
These murderous intentions came from the ancient trees. No wonder the golden lion rolled over on the spot, and even Shi Hao almost died. The killing aura in the tree was too strong.
After just a little contact, the two sacred beasts that protected the ancient monks from the past appeared in the brand of the tree, which was a bit scary.
Subsequently, the demonic nature of the ancient tree further manifested itself. In a daze, Shi Hao heard the sound of knocking wooden fish, which shook his soul to the point of being unstable and about to collapse.
Moreover, he saw a hand, covered in blood, knocking a dark red, blood-stained wooden fish.
"It was originally a Taoist tree, but it manifested a terrible scene. Could it really be a demon?" Shi Hao said to himself, trying hard to fight and stay awake.
His body was shaking, already unstable, and he was about to fall into the blood swamp.
At this time, a blood-stained temple emerged in Shi Hao's mind. It was very grand, but it was no longer holy. Every tile, every brick, and every pillar was corroded by blood.
However, in this bloody and magnificent temple, there were people chanting sutras, which was deafening.
Listen carefully, it is a magic scripture that leads people to fall into a deep black well.
"What's going on?" A stream of blood spilled from the corner of Shi Hao's mouth. The once sacred temple was actually preaching demonic scriptures. This was outrageous and very scary.
"Blood Bodhi, this Dao tree has indeed been nourished by blood and turned into a demonic holy tree. If it sprouts again and grows leaves, it will be completely different!" Next to him, the golden lion said to himself, his heart was shocked, almost trembling.
This is similar to what is recorded in the legend. If the Bodhi tree is watered by the blood of the strongest people from all races, it may show an unknown side.
And the golden lion was actually seen here, someone really did this.
There is no doubt that this supreme treasure tree has now turned into a blood bodhi tree!
"However, the brand in it should still be there, recording the inheritance of the ancient monk's lineage." The golden lion's eyes flashed.
Shi Hao persisted and did not flinch. Even if the tree became demonic, he was not afraid. He actually regarded the tree as a whetstone.
The scene from the past appeared in his mind, and in a daze, he passed through the main hall of the highest ancient temple of the ancient monk lineage and was heading to the Sutra-Tibetan Pavilion.
He wanted to read the scriptures and realize the great truth here.
However, this is very dangerous. If you don't do it right, you will be assimilated by the demon tree and fall into darkness.
