Chapter six hundred and sixty-eight: cause and effect reckoning to see the deceased
The dark red wooden board is only a small piece less than the size of a palm.
Compared with the suspended corpses in the blue light, it is hard to overstate how inconspicuous it is.
But Zhao Ke looked at the fragment, put it under the bridge of his nose and took a deep breath. Zhao Ke's eyes became intense.
"Follow me!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward facing the blue light.
Ding Xiaoyi and Song Xingxue looked at each other and could only speed up their pace to follow. To be honest, just looking at this blue light made their scalps numb.
A piece of corpse was randomly picked out from inside, and the smell on it made them feel suffocated.
But now that they have reached this point, there is absolutely no possibility of turning back for the two of them. There is no other choice but to go all the way.
"They're in!!"
Seeing this, King Xi and the others on the ancient tree had their eyes shining with expectation. It was obvious that they were all well aware of the existence of that blue light.
After the three of them stepped into the blue light, the light shield emitted by Zhao Ke had lost its effect.
The blue light penetrated directly and shone on the three of them. Ding Xiaoyi and Song Xingxue only felt their bodies slump, as if something was violently penetrating their bodies.
But something strange happened at this moment.
The two of them began to feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy and were on guard, but apart from the initial strange feeling, they felt nothing else.
In contrast, Zhao Ke was not so relaxed, and he felt like falling into hell in one step.
Many vague shadows appeared in front of his eyes. As these shadows gradually approached him, Zhao Ke was surprised to find that these shadows were actually old people he had known.
Some of them were killed by him, some were implicated by him, and there were many enemies who had long had a deep hatred for him.
He even saw seven faces exactly like his own among them.
Although the faces are the same, the expressions and temperaments on each face are completely different.
“Where did these people come from??”
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the figures that appeared out of thin air and couldn't help being surprised. He didn't know who these figures were and how they suddenly appeared in front of him.
"careful!"
At this time, Song Xingxue pulled Zhao Ke fiercely, but he was still a step too late. He saw a big knife slashing down from behind him head-on and covering his face.
The blade refracted the cold light, moving extremely fast and making no sound at all, as if it suddenly appeared behind him.
The woman holding the knife was even more pale-faced, with cold murderous intent in her eyes.
Ding Xiaoyi had no chance to get out of the way, so he had no choice but to punch him.
But when his fist touched the blade, he found that the blade passed through his fist easily, making his punch empty.
What is even more surprising is that the owner of the blade also passed through his body and slashed straight towards Zhao Ke.
Sensing the murderous aura coming from behind, Zhao Ke quickly turned around and grabbed the blade with his slender palm.
Suddenly the blade tore a wound in his palm, and bright red blood dripped onto the Hong Bridge.
"What's going on??" Ding Xiaoyi looked at this scene with a blank expression.
The knife he put on himself passed through his body, but it did not cause any harm to himself at all.
But it happened to cut Zhao Ke's palm. Could it be said that these shadows can only hurt Zhao Ke?
"It's you!!"
Seeing the owner of the blade, Zhao Ke was startled. He obviously recognized the woman in front of him.
"No, you should have died long ago!"
Zhao Ke frowned, smashed the big knife in his hand with his fingers, and slapped the woman on the forehead with his backhand.
With a muffled sound of "Bang!", the woman's head suddenly exploded, but her exploded body floated in the air like broken paper flowers, and quickly disappeared.
As Zhao Ke said, these are not real people, but more like the old enemies in Zhao Ke's memory.
What is even more incomprehensible is that at the moment when the woman was broken into pieces, Zhao Ke found that a wound was suddenly torn open on his body by an invisible force.
This wound came out of nowhere and there was no way to stop it.
Zhao Ke looked at the wounds on his body, and then at the figures in front of him, with a bit of confusion and confusion in his deep eyes.
He took a step back and looked around carefully.
After a while, he seemed to understand what was going on.
"It's cause and effect!"
On the stone platform of Tianchi, only the ghost princess and Moore were standing on it, looking up at this scene.
"What?? Cause and effect??"
Moore looked at the ghost princess with a blank look on his face, an expression of ignorance that made the ghost princess despise her. But I have to say that such a naive and stupid look really gave people a sense of accomplishment in teaching him a lesson.
"My adoptive father once said that the blue light here is the will in the dark. It records all the cause and effect of you. Well...it's similar to your file, except that all the negative information recorded in it is yours.
.
Since you want to get rid of the shackles of this world and throw yourself into the embrace of eternity, then all the karma on your body will naturally have to be repaid.
The way of liquidation is naturally to smash all the causes and effects in front of you, or to be swallowed up by these causes and effects.
No matter which method is used, once it is settled, a wound will be opened on your body according to the magnitude of the cause and effect, just like a seal."
The ghost princess opened her mouth to explain to Moore, and the other creatures surrounding her also pricked up their ears to listen.
After hearing this, these creatures suddenly understood.
It suddenly dawned on me that no wonder so many ancient and powerful men fell at this level in the end.
Let me ask the living beings who have come this far, did they not walk up step by step on the steps filled with corpses?
I don’t know how many causes and effects have been formed in this, and now they all have to be repaid here. Even the most powerful people cannot withstand it.
"But... why are the two thieves at the back okay??"
Moore stared at Ding Xiaoyi, his teeth itching with hatred, wishing that this kid would die here and be shattered into pieces.
Seeing that the two of them were fine, it was hard to avoid feeling a little surprised.
I thought to myself: "Could it be that these two boys have been vegetarians since they were young and are good old people who never kill people or make grudges??"
As soon as this idea came up, Moore completely rejected it.
He didn't believe that this was the case. If these two boys were good people, wouldn't he be a cuckold who would welcome the adulterer with a smile?
"them……"
The ghost princess glanced at Ding Xiaoyi and the two of them. Although she was a little surprised, it was also expected.
She did not explain anything to Moore, but said calmly: "Because their cause and effect will not be recorded in the underworld, but will be recorded in another place."
At this point, there was a bit of confusion in her eyes, and she didn't know why her adoptive father would spend so much effort to grasp the cause and effect between the two of them.
But then I thought about it, the huge Yin Cao, from the Northern Yin Emperor to the Ten Palaces of Yama, isn't the cause and effect of these Yin Cao gods under the control of my adoptive father?
Thinking of this, she no longer struggled with this issue.
On the other side, Zhao Ke told the two of them his guess. Although there were some differences in details from the Ghost Princess's statement, they were almost inseparable.
As for the two of them here, they have not been punished by cause and effect. In Zhao Ke's view, this is not a good thing.
"If you can still go back alive, remember to find a way to get your karma back, otherwise your life will be in the hands of others!"
Zhao Ke said seriously.
Although the cause and effect has been transferred away by others, it means that the other party controls their cause and effect at any time and can use the power of cause and effect to liquidate them at any time.
In contrast, it is better to let the cause and effect rest in the unknown.
Ding Xiaoyi and the two of them deeply agreed with this, even though they were as humble as ants in the eyes of some big bosses.
But even if you are an ant, you don’t want your life to be trampled to death by someone else at any time.
Since the two of them were not subject to the consequences of karma, Zhao Ke simply relaxed his pace and fought his way forward.
Familiar and unfamiliar faces came towards him one after another.
Many of them could no longer be called by their names. It was so long ago that no matter how good Zhao Ke's memory was, he would not be able to remember all the names.
What's more, some people really don't remember their names, but they remember whether they were made into steamed buns or dumplings.
Every time a figure was crushed, a wound suddenly opened on Zhao Ke's body.
Some wounds are very shallow, but others are so deep that the bones are visible.
After only a few steps, Zhao Ke's whole body was covered in blood and flesh, as if a layer of his skin had been sucked off, and he looked like a bloody man.
"puff!!"
Seeing the blood splashing one after another on Zhao Ke's body, Ding Xiaoyi and Ding Xiaoyi's hearts were in their throats.
"Brother Zhao, don't go any further, take a rest!" Ding Xiaoyi shouted loudly, hoping that Zhao Ke would stop, even if it was just to rest for a few seconds.
"I still have some magic medicine here, take it quickly!"
Song Xingxue, a tough guy, actually took out all the magic medicine he had at the bottom of the box just because Zhao Ke's injuries were too serious.
They were afraid that Zhao Ke would die here. Don't forget that even though the two of them could ignore the reckoning of cause and effect, the Gangfeng layer here could still kill them both.
Once Zhao Ke dies, the situation of the two of them may not be much better.
But Zhao Ke didn't pay any attention to the shouts of the two people. He kept taking action and tearing the figures in front of him into pieces.
At this moment, a familiar face appeared in front of him.
This thin face was terrifyingly gloomy, his eyes were staring at Zhao Ke, and his hands were actually emitting a black and white light.
"Oh, old friend, I didn't expect that the last time we met would be in this way!"
When Zhao Ke saw this familiar face in front of him, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of a wry smile. This person's name was Qi Liang. The two might be mortal enemies, or they might be friends.
When they were still postmen, the two teamed up with each other, but they never stopped thinking about killing each other.
Until the timeline shattered and Qi Liang's figure completely disappeared.
This became a big regret in Zhao Ke's heart, but he didn't expect that this cause and effect would be settled today.
He smiled bitterly and took action quickly.
The huge force of nature turned into a blazing light in his hand, directly engulfing Qi Liang in front of him, but the moment Qi Liang's figure disappeared, Zhao Ke's body trembled violently.
A crack was torn open from his chest, one extended to his abdomen, and even his intestines spilled out.
"terrible!"
Seeing Zhao Ke's miserable scene, many creatures on the ancient tree screamed in fear from their hearts.
"Sure enough, Master Zhulong's idea is correct. Rushing in from Hongqiao is simply seeking death!!"
When some creatures saw this, they completely gave up the idea of getting involved with the stone tablet from the bottom of their hearts.
A fierce man as strong as Zhao Ke could only take a few steps and was already seriously injured.
If it had been them, I'm afraid they would have died at this moment.
At this moment, many living beings began to realize Zhulong's good intentions, and the resentment they had towards Zhulong suddenly disappeared.
Yes, they are divine objects in the world. As long as they are properly maintained, their lifespan will continue to be extended. Even if the trees grow slowly, they will one day help them break through the natural chasm and ultimately escort them to the other side.
In comparison, what Zhao Ke and the others did was simply asking for death.
There are many living beings who have such thoughts, but this still cannot change the desire for the stone tablet for all the living beings headed by King Xi.
After all, the method of building wooden bridges was a method that Zhulong came up with in a different way.
This method can be used and can be maintained, but it must not be used as the only method. Firstly, it takes too long, and secondly, there are too many variables.
They don't have to use the stone tablet, but they must have it.
"puff!!"
As Zhao Ke walked forward, the figure in front of him was shattered inch by inch, and his own body also began to be torn apart by invisible forces.
If you want to pass through this place, you must completely erase the cause and effect from your own destiny.
But it’s easy to say, but so difficult to do.
Even they couldn't hold on for several breaths, but at this moment, the silent King Xi suddenly stood up, his eyes flashed, and he turned into a silver dragon body and rose up against the sky.
.
King Xi suddenly took action without any warning. No one seemed to have expected this scene. They were stunned for a moment, and it took a moment to react.
In fact, it goes without saying that King Xi did this to prevent the Zhulong Society from intervening.
Although Zhulong has fallen asleep, who can guarantee that it is not pretending to sleep?
That's why King Xi chose to explode when everyone was most absorbed.
Choosing to take action at this time is undoubtedly the best opportunity for King Xi.
Seeing the rainbow light transformed by King Xi rushing towards him very quickly, Ding Xiaoyi and the other two were shocked: "Is this old guy crazy??"
Even a fierce man like Zhao Ke was about to be torn apart by the cause and effect of fate in front of him.
This old guy didn't take action earlier and later, but he rushed in at this moment. Isn't he afraid of being reckoned with by fate?
Just when the two of them were confused, they saw an extra jade box in King Xi's hand. When the box was opened, there were five crystal green leaves inside.
This is the leaf of the sacred tree of Jianmu!
As Zhulong said before, the Jianmu Sacred Tree has the unique effect of shielding the strong wind and ignoring the power around the floating island.
Its leaves also have this magical power.
It's just that the leaves of the Jianmu Sacred Tree are so rare. The bare branches only have a few green leaves hanging sparsely on the top bunch of twigs.
Just like the hair on a bald man's head, there are only a handful of them, so you can imagine how precious they are.
When you go up to pluck the leaves of Jianmu, it's like pulling the lifeline of Zhulong. Not only do you pull, but you also tear out a few curly hairs. Do you think Zhulong can spare you?
It would be strange not to peel off your skin and cramps and crush your bones and spread your ashes.
Even if you risk your life to pluck a leaf, you can only gain three breaths at most.
And if you want to pass this natural chasm, it's probably not enough to just pick off all the leaves on the trees.
Therefore, even if someone knows about the magical effects of leaves, they would not dare to take up the idea of building wooden leaves.
As for the leaf in King Xi's hand, it is an old leaf that occasionally falls off Jianmu.
After being carefully collected by him, he did not hesitate to spend his life to turn things around. He used his own life as the root and flesh and blood as the soil. After a long period of nourishment, these old leaves regained their vitality.
It can be said that this object is the last king bomb in the hands of King Xi.
Once you take it out, you are taking away half of your life.
But compared to that mysterious stone tablet, this price is worth it.
Even though a leaf can only buy himself three breaths of time, Zhao Ke is already seriously injured and dying, and three breaths is enough for him to kill the thief and take away the stone tablet at the same time.
