Chapter 55: Death in the Void
The gray-robed man stood in the ring, his spirit was completely restrained, he hugged a fist pile, his head was straight, his neck was straight, his chest was straight, and his waist was collapsed.
All the spirits gathered.
He stared at the young monk in front of him, nervous he had never felt in his life, and after taking several deep breaths, he pressed down...... A long exhale, an inhale, is like going back to the middle of the night when one is practicing alone.
All the sounds around them, all the sights, slowly blurred.
In his world, there is only one person left, "Daoxuan".
Ritsuko returned to Mingsha Mountain on the fourth day of the fourth month of April, and then went into retreat and practiced, and no one was seen until today...... In terms of the status of the two Zen Vinayas, there is nothing wrong with such behavior.
Dao Xuan was wearing a simple coarse linen robe, and his muscles supported the cloth, and his expression was calm, and it could even be said that he was indifferent.
The two eyes slowly met each other.
"Hum—"
The showdown begins.
A remote corner of the stands.
Holding the black umbrella in his arms, Cinnabar frowned, wrote two strokes on the sticky note book he carried, and then turned around and left without looking back.
The figure of cinnabar disappeared into the corridor.
A violent roar sounded in the ring, and the Buddha statue next to the gray-robed man exploded in an instant, and Dao Xuan, who didn't even bring the Buddha statue of Wishing Power, turned around calmly and left the ring.
This is the end of this showdown.
The crowd made way for Ritsuko.
It wasn't until Dao Xuan left that a voice slowly appeared-
The dojo, where it was so silent that it could be heard falling a needle, resounded one after another exclamations.
......
......
The sound of heavy breathing.
It's getting heavier and heavier.
In the darkness, in the narrow dense forest, the man who was pressed against the trees, his body twitched, his pupils continued to expand and contract, repeating the process, and the scenes in his mind flashed frame by frame.
Countless waves crashed, swept in, almost suffocated—
A hoarse voice came anxiously.
It's like calling his name.
"Silence!"
"Silence!"
Far away from a remote corner of the Xiaoyu Mountain Dojo, in a deep forest in Mingsha Mountain.
At the end of the competition, the three men habitually left with the silence and lived in the darkness as they had lived in the South.
The sun shade charm was propped up above his head, and the qi was also constricted to the extreme.
The three of them surrounded the skinny man.
The fat head stared at the scattered eyes of the silent sky.
He looked difficult and spoke slowly.
"In that man's sea of gods...... What do you see?"
The fat man's face was very pale, and his broad forehead was already covered with dense beads of sweat.
As he spoke, he could observe the change in the eyes of the "Silent Void"—the pupils that had been blank were slowly twisting in pitch black, like a deep whirlpool, filled with fine fear.
Let a "fool" understand his own words.
It's a hard thing to do.
There is a "price" to pay...... That's why they left the dojo in a hurry and came to this no-man's land.
The divine souls of the three people were unreservedly released at this moment, wrapping the empty divine sea pocket.
It is a very dangerous thing for a soul to leave the body, especially completely out of the body.
If you are not careful, then the spirit cannot be recovered, and these three people will lose consciousness at the same time and be reduced
Fools like "Silent Sky" are obviously not going to make such an unsafe move in a completely unfamiliar environment...... Dozens of talismans swirled in all directions, and two of the three people remained awake at all times, offering only a small amount of soul power as an auxiliary.
At this moment, the person in charge of the divine soul is none other than the fat head.
In the "Shura Field" life and death fight, they once handed over their backs to each other without reservation, and they are brothers who have really experienced life and death.
And this time I came to Mingsha Mountain to participate in the bathing Buddha puja, but also to seek a "future" together.
"I will never leave you ......behind," the fat man muttered to himself, while trying to drill into the mind of the Silent Sky with his divine thoughts, he thought that he could "restore" the scene of the battle, to see what tricks the young man called "Skylark" had performed, but when he really entered the mind of the Silent Sky, the scene in front of him made him a little overwhelmed.
A deep, endless sea.
That's what it is...... What did the Silent Sky see?
Ocean?
This is Shenhai?
A boy who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, what kind of secret art had he practiced to be able to cultivate such a huge "Divine Sea"?
Fat Toutuo's heart suddenly swelled with great fear.
He understood why the Silent Sky had been defeated in such a short period of time...... This young man's soul is not at all suitable for this age, as if he has inherited a great virtue who has lived for hundreds of years from a certain Buddhist sect.
Skylark...... Doesn't this guy have a legal name?
Kotsumi Temple...... A temple that I have never heard of, is it in Dongtu?
Who is his master?
The next moment.
The continuous sound of the talisman broke the silence of the three people, and these guiding talismans, at the slightest change in the outside world, would be wary of the giver who was shrouded in the formation.
The three out-of-body souls returned at the same time, and all the souls of the fat head returned slowly, and when he quickly returned to the soul and opened his eyes, he only saw a pitch-black sword light.
"Whew" pierced the formation.
This sword light was like a drop of rain, and it was like a heavy rain falling from the entire sky, and in an instant, all the three people, including the stupid and silent sky, were pierced, and the ancient trees in the dense forest were splashed with a large area of scarlet in the blink of an eye.
Put away your sword and leave.
The whole process lasted less than ten breaths.
......
......
"It's late...... It's dead. ”
The sound of staccato footsteps could be heard in the dense forest, and before they could get close to the scarlet land, a low voice slowly sounded.
The four ascetics walked silently in the Falling Feather Forest, and the leader of them suddenly frowned and looked into the distance, his cultivation method was related to "induction", which is why he came here...... A secret order came out from the dojo of Xiaoyi Mountain, related to the "Pure Lotus" with the highest power in Xiaoleiyin Temple, from high to low, layer upon layer, so the four-person team set off.
They didn't even know that this "secret order" actually had nothing to do with the will of the "Pure Lotus" itself, and the formation mage in the Xiaoyu Mountain Dojo, after gaining insight into the "Crescent Mountain", passed on his thoughts to protect this young man named "Skylark", so he used his own power.
By the time the secret order reached the ears of these four people, it had nothing to do with the "lark", they only knew to follow the "induction" of the dojo talisman to find the "prey" and then kill it.
Each talisman token issued by the Little Lei Yin Temple has a unique mark.
This has been the case for the "Bathing Buddha Puja" throughout the ages, and it seems to be peaceful
Quiet, but in fact, as the organizer of the small Lei Yin Temple, has the ability to deal with all accidents.
The residual talisman aura on the four people of "Silent Sky" can allow Xiao Lei Yin Temple to directly trace the root cause, and the purpose of the four-person team sent is also very simple.
The upper class means "to purge the criminals."
In fact, it is "killing people and killing people".
"Someone did ......it for us," the leader muttered, and walked for a moment, and sure enough, the strong smell of blood came from afar. After standing still, large blood spots were engraved on the trees, and the four of them were already dead and could not die again.
"A sword to seal the throat?"
He crouched down and examined the corpses, the slight wounds were fatal.
"It's a sword, a sword...... Wait a minute. The leader of this team often carries out "assassination" missions, after all, Buddhism is not really "great mercy", under the peace of this rule and order, there must always be people who sacrifice, hide in the shadows, and erase some things that cannot be seen.
The experienced leader, two fingers twisted the blood, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently.
"What's wrong?"
The three companions behind him, following his movements, also twisted their fingertips, but they couldn't smell anything unusual.
This bloodstain ...... Is there a problem?
They frowned.
Well, it seems a bit bitter...... What does it taste like?
"There is a smell of 'sword rust' in the blood. The leader said slowly: "There is a special bitter taste in the 'Sword Rust', if you have been to the southern border, you will know it...... The blood of ghost cultivators is bitter and corrosive, and only one sword that kills many ghost cultivators will be contaminated with this corrosive sword rust. ”
Behind him, a young man dressed in green clothes, two fingers twisted with sword rust, blood slowly evaporated under the temperature of his fingertips, turning into green smoke, he thought for a moment, and asked tentatively.
"What do you mean...... The one who killed these four Shura of them is also the Shura of the Southern Realm?"
There was a slight silence.
The leader shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Lingshan attaches great importance to this 'Bathing Buddha Festival', and you also know that it is because of the 'Zen Law Dispute'...... Every cultivator who enters and leaves Mingsha Mountain will be strictly checked, these four people are registered on the list, and there are about more than 100 people in the southern realm Shura who want to make a name for themselves at the festival, and the strength of the four people in the 'Silent Sky' is at the upper level, if there is no accident, Lingshan should accept a batch of Shura as the blood to fill. ”
"They are very strong, this is the reason why the four of us were sent, in the Little Lei Yin Temple, there are really not many 'ascetics' who can safely kill these four people, only a handful. He narrowed his eyes, wiped his fingertips on a piece of clean bark, and said lightly: "But this sword master is only one person, and he killed four people in the Silent Sky alone, although there is a fool whose soul is injured...... But it's not easy. ”
"'Yushan' was the last to die. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the fat head, and said, "There was confusion in his eyes...... There is no such thing as horror or fear. There are not many Shura who have trekked from the south, they are familiar with each other, and they are such ruthless characters that will never provoke powerful existences, so for the best among Shura, remember very clearly, if the real person who made the attack was Shura, he would not be this look. ”
He paused and smiled, "Of course...... That's just my inference. All in all, the secret order above is for us to kill the four people of the 'Silent Sky' with our own hands, these four people are not killed by us, then the mission has failed, everything about this place must be reported, Lord Jinglian should come here to investigate, the blood, corpses, and residual traces here cannot be hidden from the eyes of that adult. ”
