157: Only you can do it
Banchabana is the god of five-flowered arrows and is famous for his arrows. However, from a long time ago, Banchabana had discovered that there was another weapon that could be more time-saving and less effective than his own arrows.
So over time, Banchabana focused most of his energy on this new weapon, and neglected the arrow that made him famous.
There is no doubt that this new weapon is a shortcut. A shortcut that can reach the destination in the shortest distance. Since the final destination is all the same. So why bother to walk the hard and sweaty path that is difficult to follow?
But Banchabana was still wrong after all. Because although the main road is far away, it is a smooth horse, and there will never be any hidden pitfalls on the way. Although the shortcut is short, as long as you are not careful, you will step on the trap and fall to pieces.
When the white horse passed through the gap, Cheng Li had already relaxed his hand holding the knife. But suddenly, the five fingers tightened suddenly, and the handle of the knife was firmly grasped again. In the next moment, the sword flashed and flew in.
"Nine Yao Chop" - Divide the gold!
This knife is not known for any variation and fancy, but is absolutely fast, absolutely accurate, and absolutely concentrated. Simple, quick, indeed, effective. This is the most basic and essence of the way of the knife.
As long as there is a slight mistake, it must be a fatal mistake. Banchabana had concentrated all his spiritual power on his eyes, and thought he was in control of the whole situation. It's a pity that the eye is not a weapon.
No matter how terrifying the eyes are, they will definitely not be able to resist this thunderous and lightning slash.
With a snap of his fingers, Banchabana came to his senses in time and swung his longbow in an attempt to block Jiuyao. But no sooner had his arm been lifted than the blade had passed under the bowstring, leaving a thin red strand on his chest.
Bantabana's face immediately distorted, and his eyes bulged out. The ghost fire in his eyes has been extinguished even earlier. The strength of all the muscles in the body seemed to have completely leaked through the thin red thread.
The divine bow of the five-flowered arrow god, as well as the five golden arrows, all broke away from the master's hand, crackled, and fell everywhere. Banchabana staggered back two steps, leaned back against the wall, and sat down slowly. A pair of bulging eyes stared at Cheng Li, but only after breathing, the shock, fear, anger, resentment, and hatred in his eyes ...... All the negative emotions are gradually disappearing. In the end, all that was left was a wry smile of relief.
"Nirvana!The ability to break away from the cycle of life and death, and see through all the false and untrue in dreams, Cheng Li, my friend. Looks like you already have it. ”
Cheng Li nodded and shook his head again. "Not quite owned, friend. As you told me before, it is only at the peak of lust and lust that the body and mind are completely selfless, and at that moment, because the boundary between life and death has become extremely blurred, it is only briefly entered a similar realm, and can see through the reality of all things. ”
Banchabana immediately understood. He smiled bitterly and said, "Happy and empty." I didn't expect ...... Friend, I really didn't expect you to reach this realm. It's not nirvana, but it's ...... It's also very rare. In fact, when I talked to you before, I didn't expect you to really be able to see through all the falsehoods with happiness. ”
Cheng Li said calmly: "Yes, I didn't expect it myself. But it's true, I did see through it. Unfortunately, it was only for a moment and didn't last long. And being able to see through and be able to surpass are two completely different things. So, I'm still here. ”
Banchabana made a strange sound that sounded like crying and laughing. Then he gasped and said, "So, you already knew it was a trap from the beginning?"
Cheng Li's jaw said, "Not bad." From the moment I saw through the falsehood, I already understood. You and Xia Niang disappeared together, it was deliberately arranged. The disappearance of everyone in the villa was deliberately arranged. It was deliberately arranged for Beova to be left here and then someone to come and assault her. In the end, you came back with Xia Niang, Xia Niang committed suicide, and Bova also committed suicide, all of which were deliberately arranged. Doing so many things is nothing more than to shake my heart so that you can easily defeat me and complete this reincarnation, right?"
Banchabana laughed miserably, "Not bad...... Ahem...... Not bad at all. Sure enough, you saw through it. No wonder, hahaha~ No wonder you actually watched them die in front of you, and you were indifferent. Just because you know it's all fake. Hahaha~~"
Cheng Li sighed, looked at Banchabana with sympathetic eyes, and said, "If there is indeed a so-called 'son of Heavenly Dao's favor in this side of heaven and earth, then he is not Ning Buqun, but you, the God of Five Flowers and Arrows."
But why do you go to such great lengths? With your martial arts, you don't have to use this kind of demonic method against me. Shoot your golden arrows directly, and there's at least a fifty percent chance of killing me. ”
Banchaba's eyes, staring into the distance emptyly, said slowly, "I really didn't have to use this method. It's just that if a person has learned the easy way to win, he doesn't want to work hard......"
He spoke slowly, and his voice was full of remorse. Because only now did he understand that there are no shortcuts or flukes to victory. If you want to win, you must pay the price of hardship.
Cheng Li also sighed: "But I don't understand." If you have long been able to get out of this cycle of samsara, why do you insist on staying here?"
Banchabana smiled wryly, "Because I'm the coward." Staying here, after going through cycle after cycle, I'm used to being here. I'm even scared of the real world out there.
I can't even imagine what my true self would be like if I really got out of here. That's why I'm cooperating with the 'Heavenly Dao' and circulating this game of death again and again...... Haha~ Cheng Li, you are indeed an amazing person. You've done things that countless people can't. Perhaps, you are the first person ever to truly escape from this illusion. ”
Cheng Li said in a condensed voice: "Just maybe?"
Banchabana nodded heavily, "Yes, just maybe." Because in this world, there are still two incarnations of the Heavenly Dao. They are the last pillars that hold the world together.
If the world is a cage, they are the jailers. As long as they still exist, even if you have gathered the eight glass keys, you can't really get out of it. I...... The reason why I chose to stay is also because I know that I can't fight them no matter what. But...... But ......"
The candle of life, which was about to be extinguished, suddenly returned to the light with a "bang~" and burst out with its last brilliance. I don't know where the power came from, urging Banchaba's already weakened body. He grabbed Cheng Li's hand, hoarsely exhausted, and made a final shout.
"Go! Defeat the Heavenly Dao Messenger, break the cage, and seize the real glass treasure! Complete what none of us can do, and return to the real world! Only you can, only you! Everything is left to you!"
Before he could finish speaking, the red silk on his chest suddenly cracked, splitting Banchaba in two. The two stumps "呯~" fell to the ground and never moved again.
