Chapter 373: Burial Buddha Pond
Haoyue knew that the burial pond at this time was his best choice, he could hide from being pursued, and at the same time, he could slow down his speed, but the risk it brought was endless unknown.
"The swamp is too deep for me to see far, but there are gravel roads, but those roads are covered with mud and weeds, and it's hard to spot, and I don't know how far away the Buddhist pursuers are. Lin Ji was sober for a moment, Haoyue simply said the current situation, Lin Ji smiled gratefully, and then fainted again.
Haoyue smiled bitterly, thinking that she was like a resentful woman, and she still needed to make her own choice after complaining about unification.
The burial pond is really peculiar, there are countless geothermal springs under the land of this Buddha country, for countless years, the hot spring hot steam has been gushing to the surface of the earth, and it will not freeze all year round, so there is this large swamp.
Even in the cold winter, there will be no ice, and there will only be a shallow layer of frost on the surface of the swamp, and at this time it is about to enter spring, and the hot spring flows quietly, and the thin frost melts away, so the swamp is even more muddy.
Haoyue accidentally stepped into the mud pond with one foot on Lin Ji's back, half of his leg fell into it, he carefully put Lin Ji away, and then lay on the edge of the mud pond and pulled out his leg with great effort. Haoyue doesn't know how many times she has experienced such a situation. Finally walked to the slightly firmer ground, Haoyue looked at the mud on her legs in disgust, and shook it vigorously, but the mud on it couldn't be shaken off, and she looked very embarrassed. Although it was very hard, the result was that they had reached the depths of this swamp by this time, and there were no pursuers in the rear, and they were no longer to resist the earth, but nature.
The swamp ground is extremely soft, and the water rich in sulfur and other things makes it difficult to grow plants, but it is covered with endless wild moss, which is even more slippery to walk on, and it is easy to sink into the dark pool.
For ordinary people, if this swamp and other fierce places devour people and bones, although Haoyue will not worry about being swallowed by the swamp, it is also extremely difficult to walk, wading through water and mud, and the speed becomes very slow.
This kind of difficult and dangerous place, the less accessible it is, the safer it is. Haoyue thinks so, and many animals also think so, the water pool that exudes a faint smell of sulfur can't raise any big plants, but moss will be able to eat it, and the heat can avoid winter, so many animals live in this swamp all year round.
The main food is moss or plankton in the water, and there are naturally no lions or tigers in the swamp, but there is a fierce beast that resembles a snake and has several tiny paws.
This fierce beast is called the foot snake by the farmers of the Buddha country, the parade speed is extremely fast, the saliva carries a slight toxin, scavenging meat for a living, most of the horses and sheep in the people who get lost and strayed into the swamp are killed by this fierce beast.
Haoyue naturally wouldn't be afraid of this kind of foot snake, and the powerful aura emanating from the cultivator's body seemed to be able to feel it, so they avoided it before Haoyue arrived.
The fog in the swamp is getting thicker.
Continuing to walk a distance to the depths of the swamp, it is estimated that it will be about two or three days before entering the swamp, Haoyue carried Lin Ji to a waterhole, Haoyue suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and Lin Ji also woke up again at this time, obviously in a much better state than before. At the very least, Haoyue doesn't have to worry about him fainting again.
The terrain here is low, the water in the pool is half a person deep, it is much clearer than other places in the swamp, and probably because of the source, the water here can be drunk directly, the water in the pool is luxuriant, there are many fish swimming among the water and grass that Lin Ji has not seen, and there are a few water birds drinking water by the pool.
"If Senior Brother looks at this place, he must be very happy. β
Looking at the edge of the pool, he grinned.
And Haoyue breathed a long sigh of relief, walked to the edge of the pool, he reached into the pool water, and found that the temperature was just right, and the eyes of the sky, which had been tormented by desolation and mire for a lot, were suddenly washed by the lake and water.
The two leaned together, sat on the edge of the pool, and looked at the scenery in the pool, as if the fatigue of the past few days had been swept away.
The mist is like smoke, the clear pool is like a piece of excellent but very light jade, the green grass on the edge of the pond is like a grass, the fish in the pool are not chaotic, because of the relaxation and fatigue gradually comes, Haoyue falls asleep like this.
I don't know how long it took.
There is no wind and the fog gradually disperses, on the other side of the quiet waterhole, a shadow faintly appears, Haoyue woke up with her eyes open, looked at that place, only to find that the area of the original waterhole is larger than imagined, and the other side is at least more than 100 zhang away from the shore on her side.
Lin Ji slept for a long time on the way, so he didn't sleep, but his energy consumption was too great, and he didn't notice the abnormality on the other side of the waterhole, and he didn't notice the shadow until Haoyue reminded him, but he still didn't believe that it was a person's shadow, or more like a tree.
The fog around the swamp is getting lighter and lighter, and the fog at the waterhole is gradually dissipating, so you can see the scenery on the other side clearly.
The shadow on the other side of the waterhole was not a tree, but a person.
No, not one person, it's three. After that shadow, the fog gradually lifted, revealing two more figures.
From such a distance, you can still feel the aura of compassion coming from the three people, but this aura of compassion is rendered by the swamp and becomes a little nondescript.
Haoyue suddenly felt very naΓ―ve, he stupidly thought that he could safely take Lin Ji out of the Buddha country if he entered the swamp, but he forgot that even the burial Buddha pond was part of the Buddha country.
There was a long period of silence, absolute silence, the atmosphere beside the waterhole became very heavy and oppressive, small fish swam in groups to the depths of the aquatic grass, the few white waterfowl flew away in terror, and the fog did not know if it was foreseen in advance what was about to happen here, so it slipped away in advance.
Lin Ji suddenly laughed, looked at the other side and said, "Master Faxin, it's a coincidence, I actually met here." β
Fa Xin said: "It's a coincidence, I haven't rested for five days in order to catch up with you. β
Lin Ji continued to laugh and said, "What are you chasing us for?"
Fa Xin said: "Chasing people is naturally to kill people. β
After saying this, he walked towards the opposite bank, his monk's robe fluttering slightly.
Lin Ji shouted: "The water in the pool is very clear, don't disturb it." β
It was as if he hadn't heard his words, and his steps were slow and steady.
Look at the steady footsteps of the Dharma Heart. Lin Ji suddenly asked, "How do you know that I will walk into this swamp?"
"If it were any other place than here, you would have died long ago. I don't think Master Haoyue should be so stupid. β
Lin Ji said: "This swamp is very big, aren't you afraid of missing it?"
"Your traces are heavy, and those places that are inaccessible to the foot snake are where you have walked, so it is easy to find you. β
"Look how blue the sky is, wouldn't it be boring to kill me under the blue sky. β
Fa Xin raised his head, not you, Lin Ji, but looked at the rare clear sky in the swamp and said: "You must die, the master is very angry, not only you, you must die." Fa Xin said this calmly, without a trace of murder, but there was still a dead word.
However, the moment he looked up, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Faxin withdrew his gaze.
His gaze fell on the other side.
Lin Ji raised his left arm at some point.
"Bang ......".
The swarthy crossbow arrow had just left the crossbow machine, and the white turbulence at the end of the arrow was forming.
After the crossbow arrows, Lin Ji's calm face looked extremely indifferent.
Fa Xin finally knew why Lin Ji had to tell him so much, why he wanted to talk about the sky.
He thought that Lin Ji had given up his life, but as the third gentleman with Xianshan, the actual ruler of Canghai City, how could he give up lightly.
The arrow was very fast, and in the face of the whizzing crossbow arrows, the Fa Xin did not shrink its pupils, nor did it make a loud roar, whether it was the narrowing of the pupils or the vibration of the air vocal cords, it required strength, time, and meaningless.
He knelt down toward the other side of the pool, and by the time his knees were slightly bent, the bolts were already in sight.
It was too late to make any more moves, so instead of making a move, he opened his mouth and said a word.
