18. Chapter 18, Rakshasa

In Shen An's previous life, he had a special relationship with "hell".

He remembered that the Shen family's "Demon Slaying Pool" had this unique smell of blood like a carrion, and later, in order to prevent chasing and hiding from the Demon Domain, he could only choose to hide in the desolate ruins that even the people of the Demon Domain did not want to approach. Those places are regarded as "hell" even by the people of the Demon Realm.

However, it was the only place where Shen An could be accommodated.

He didn't quite remember how he endured those places back then, but he still remembered Shen Ping's mockery:

Brother, you only deserve to be in this kind of place.

Memories that were distant and vague because of age began to become clearer and clearer in my mind.

Maybe it's because the land of the Demon Domain is barren, and there are mostly volcanoes and rocks. The architecture there is also a unique style, and even the Jongmyo shrine is natural and simple. However, the dignified and solemn meaning is not diminished at all, just because it is mostly built on high mountains, and the life deducted in the thick and strange colors will always feel suffocated by lack of oxygen - as if only by calmly handing over all qiē to the heavens can we achieve salvation.

In his previous life, whenever Shen An went to the temple on the volcanic rock, he could feel the washing of pain and bliss.

Perhaps it is because of the double torture of ** and spirit brought about by the uninhabitable environment of the demon realm, the way of Buddhism is far more prevalent in the demon realm than in the mortal realm.

Because in this barren land, the only thing that can be relied on is the ultimate soul and the true path of the Dharma.

Shen An and Zhao Hu slid down the slope, and he saw some villagers being hanged upside down and others locked in open-air cages.

The stone walls of the surrounding cliffs are not only natural temples, but also natural prisons, and those who are imprisoned in them cannot escape.

However, Shen An knew very well that the qiē here was just an imitation of the mural scene in the stone wall of the "Demon Cave" of the Demon Domain's volcanic rock temple.

The person who created this illusory realm is really an acquaintance of his previous life.

Shen An searched in the cage, and finally found Mu Xiaohang, who was shivering in the corner, and immediately rushed over.

"Where's An Puyu?"

Shen An asked while trying to open the cage, Mu Xiaohang shook his head in fear, his whole body trembled, and his voice was terrible: "I don't know!" I do not know! Senior Brother Shen, help me! Please, save me! ”

"Calm down!" Shen An frowned and said, "You have no reason to be afraid, you don't need to be afraid!" ”

Mu Xiaohang didn't answer, just kept tears and nose, and his body kept shaking.

"Su family! You're also from the Su family, right? ”

A harsh and hoarse voice sounded, Shen An followed the voice and looked at it, a man with a festering body and a rotten face said in despair and helplessness: "I'm Ma Shoujing!" I'm a member of the Ma family! Iron pen horse family! Fast! Take me out! My dad must be thankful! ”

Shen An felt the sword on his waist buzzing, he forcibly suppressed Zhou Dushan's resentment, and said coldly to Ma Shoujing: "We are in the Void Spirit Illusion Realm, don't be confused by the demons, your injuries are all illusions, and everything around you is an illusion, as long as you don't care, these things can't hurt you in the slightest." ”

Although he said this, Shen An knew that Ma Shoujing and the villagers had been here for too long, and they had been traumatized, and even if they returned to the real world, they would not be able to return to normal.

Suddenly, the ground under his feet began to shake slightly, and Zhao Hu grabbed Shen An's arm in horror and said, "Hide, he's back!" ”

Shen An hugged Zhao Hu, and the two hid behind a giant pillar together.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The stampede grew closer, louder and louder, and finally stopped in front of the cage.

Shen An probed and peeked over, only to see a burly and huge stout body stopped a few steps away from the cage, the person with a Rakshasa mask on his face, hideous and terrifying. He was wrapped around his waist with iron chains, interlocking, but he didn't know if the chains were used to lock people or to restrain the masked man's own madness and anger.

However, Shen An frowned, he could be sure that that person was not a demon clan, nor was he the friend he was familiar with......

I saw that the man stretched out his hand towards the cage, and countless wires around his waist suddenly rushed towards Ma Shoujing, tying and wrapping his limbs. Ma Shoujing screamed and clung to the cage, struggling desperately, and the wires were pulled to the back of his hand over and over again, and Ma Shoujing, who couldn't stand the pain, let go of his hand, was easily pulled out of the cage, and was thrown on the ground by the masked man and dragged continuously, walking towards a pile of burning stones.

- After approaching the stone mill, the masked man threw Ma Shoujing onto the hot flint with a wave of one hand.

"Ahhhh

The screams of pain were terrifying and shocking, Zhao Hu protected his ears, and Shen An covered her eyes—the girl in his arms was trembling.

"Confession." The masked man was like a judge, his tone grim and cold, and his unmistakable voice echoed in the sky.

"I, I, I, I'm guilty! I, I, I shouldn't have abandoned my junior sister from the beginning! I, I, I, I shouldn't have killed Senior Brother Zhou! I shouldn't have touched that village girl! I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare me! I can't stand it anymore! I really can't stand it! ”

The fish scales and water sword that trapped Zhou Dushan's resentment trembled even more fiercely.

When he touched the sword with his backhand, Shen An found a few tears in his palm—they could only be Zhao Hu's tears.

However, the masked man did not intend to let Ma Shoujing go. He pulled out the nail and the huge hammer from his waist, and his huge figure loomed over Ma Shoujing, casting a black shadow that seemed to trap him in eternal despair.

- He will crucify him to the flint.

"Bell ——!"

There was a heavy blunt blow, but it wasn't the sound of Ma Shoujing being nailed into the flint, but the sound of the hammer in the masked man's hand being struck.

I saw a golden iron pestle floating in the air, and a three-sided Buddha statue was engraved in the middle of the gold pestle, with an anger, a smile, and a scolding. The golden pestle shines brightly under the gray sky, like a god descending from the sky, passing through the world.

- Demon Pestle!

"Donor, the sea of bitterness is endless, and turning back is the shore."

I saw a ragged old man with a withered description appearing out of nowhere, standing in front of the masked man. And the person standing beside him, wearing a blue Su family uniform on a white background, holding a long sword, with a handsome face but a solemn expression, who else could it be if he didn't have Su Wuwu, who had been missing for three days?

"This immortal friend, please put back the souls of these villagers, although they are guilty, they will be punished humanely. As for Ma Shoujing, he is full of evil, but after all, he is a disciple of my Su family. Please return him to me, the Su family will definitely punish him severely, and give you an explanation! ”

As if humiliated, the masked man suddenly became furious, grabbed Ma Shoujing in his hand, tore off one of the other party's legs, and threw it at the two of them bloodily. Ma Shoujing screamed miserably and fainted.

The old monk didn't move his feet, but just dodged his upper body lightly, and kept chanting: "Amitabha, the donor is willing to fall, chooses to stop evil with evil, and falls into the animal path, but he doesn't know that he is riddled with sins, and it is difficult to pass reincarnation." ”

The masked man roared into the sky and rushed towards the two of them, with a fierce and brutal momentum. Su Wuwu protected the monk behind him and used the "Ice Heart Cover" to raise his sword to resist. The monk was in the rear, chanting: "To suppress evil and eliminate evil, we should develop bodhicitta and realize emptiness." The donor is so delusional, seeking supernatural powers, and the psychedelic realm is really putting the cart before the horse. The old man really can't bear to see the donor trapped in the demon barrier without knowing it. ”

"Nosy dead bald donkey!" What Shen An heard the most in his previous life was these nonsense words of the bald donkeys, and he couldn't help but scold in a whisper.

The masked man didn't stop, and began to frantically smash the giant hammer in his hand on Su Wuwu's ice cover.

Seeing that he couldn't just defend and not attack, Su Wuwu took out the jade-inlaid long sword and used the "Ice Spirit Cold Light", and the cold ice suddenly covered the radius of ten miles, forming a natural mirror barrier. Taking advantage of the masked man's slow reaction, Su Wuwu moved his body and lured the masked man away from the monk.

With the change of body shape, Su Wuwu is like a phantom in the mirror, and the mask man loses all the blows. And after the monk took two steps back, he kept chanting mantras in his mouth, and the Sanskrit sound was far away, confusing people's minds.

Seeing that he couldn't hit the two of them, the masked man began to hit the ground wildly, shattering the frozen ground alive, the broken ice was like a spike and it was difficult to stand on the ground, but the masked man seemed to be completely indecisive and in pain, and his two bare feet stepped on the broken ice ground, and the blood stained the ground red, and the blood stains were shocking.

Su Wuwu used his sword to fly into the sky, no longer using a sword, but attacking each other with ice, hail fell from the sky, under the control of his true qi, the wind was furious, and the ice and snow coexisted, directly hitting the masked man.

The monk was also meditating cross-legged, floating in the air.

Wrong. After Shen An looked closely, he suddenly found that the monk was not floating in the air, but was supported by a tail and stood in the air!

Memories suddenly surged in his mind, Shen An squinted his eyes, staring at the monk's demon pestle, he remembered! He finally knew why he thought the demon pestle was so familiar!

That's Yuanhui's demon pestle! This old monk is Yuan Hui's master! Victory!

As the eldest son of the emperor of the Demon Domain, he did not inherit the throne, but chose to become a monk and enter the path of Buddhist cultivation. In his previous life, Shen An tried to dominate the Demon Domain, and he went to seek the support of the Great Venerable of the Victory War, but was refused. Who knew that the second time I heard his name, he became the master of the Child of Destiny.

What made Shen An even more confused was how Su Wuwu knew the people of the Demon Domain?

The fight between the three of them resonated with the broken walls. After the giant hammer was shattered by Su Wuwu, the masked man pulled the rusty cannon soldering iron from the ground and used it as a weapon to attack Su Wuwu. The chains trapped in the masked man clanged, and the sound of metal crashing mixed with the thick black volcanic mist was dizzying. The two elements that were originally incompatible with ice and fire have now invaded and devoured the land in front of them. It seems to dye the world into an oppressive realm with only the two colors of zài ice white and fiery red—

— like a real hell.

"A line of learning the Tao is difficult to reach, before the karmic obstacle appears, one of the karmic obstacles is rediscovered, and the karma should also be predicted. Spiritual consciousness seeks karma in retribution, and cultivators go mad. ”

The old monk still kept chanting, and Shen An knew that this scripture also fused the old monk's true qi and spiritual power, which could dissolve hatred and eliminate resentment and purify people's grievances. The fish scale water sword that originally sounded at his waist also quieted down with the sound of chanting, and the masked man, who relied on anger and resentment to be strong and fearless, gradually fell behind in this clear sound.

Bang Dong –

Su Wuwu took down the man's mask, revealing a wrinkled and decrepit face that was completely different from Qiang's body.

"Grandpa——!"

Without waiting for Shen An to react, Zhao Hu broke free from his restraints and rushed towards the three of them. She hugged the masked man, cried and laughed, and shouted "Grandpa!" Grandfather! ”

Immediately, she turned around and cried and pleaded with Su Wuwu and the old monk:

"He's my grandfather! You are not allowed to hurt my grandfather! ”
