Chapter 526: The Town
Ever since she got the Ten Ways to See the Buddha, Song Jianqiu has always suspected that this book may be related to the mysterious old monk, but this is just speculation, and she wants to get the answer, but she can't find anyone, so she doesn't think about it anymore.
When she first practiced the Ten Methods of Seeing the Buddha, she also practiced for a long time, and only then did she chisel her right hand into a golden body in the second method of seeking chisel, but at this point, it was already very difficult, and she only knocked it in space, but in fact, in the real world, several hours had passed!
Judging from this progress, she doubts that she will be able to plate her whole body into gold in her lifetime, mainly because it is too difficult!
However, even a little bit of the golden body is a great improvement for her, just like when she was on the top of the Lingyan Temple, her whole body cultivation was sealed for the Dharma, but only the golden body was fine, and she also relied on this to get out of the other party's clutches.
Now I just don't know, in the state of the soul body, see the ten Buddha's dharmas have any effect? Or, what kind of effect?
In a trance, my mind still escaped into that mysterious space, only a piece of light and darkness, and everything, including her, seemed to change back and forth between infinity and infinitesimity.
This feeling can only be understood, not described.
Being able to enter this mysterious space shows that the Ten Dharmas of Seeing Buddha are also effective for the soul body.
And upon entering, she soon saw a glimmer of golden light; A right hand holding the Buddha's seal suddenly appeared in the space, and the Buddha's light shone brightly.
There is no doubt that she naturally held an iron chisel and an iron hammer in her hand, and her body involuntarily put the iron chisel on the wrist of Buddha Guang, and held the iron hammer high in her right hand, and smashed it hard.
This is a simple action, but she did it, but it was as if she had exhausted all the strength of her body, and when the hammer fell, it was also like passing through many barriers, going through layers of space, and finally landing on the chisel.
When ——!
At the sound of a sound, his mind began to blur, and when he opened his eyes, he had already retreated from that space, and immediately felt very weak.
He looked down at his soul body, and was surprised, the realm of soul refining law actually fell directly to the void period, and the probability was transparent!
It seems that this second method is better to practice less! One hammer is already like this, if it is two hammers, wouldn't it be directly scattered?
However, even if she wanted to hammer the second time, she couldn't do it, the second method was obviously limited according to the cultivator's limit, and once she reached the limit, she would automatically quit.
This is actually a kind of protection mechanism.
The consumption of the soul body was too great, and she had to sit down cross-legged and practice the soul refining method.
After a while, she recovered, and when she opened her eyes, she heard Xiaohua calling her, "Mom! She woke up...... Yes! Mom! She bites me! ”
Xiaohua was only halfway through her words, but she exclaimed and complained to her aggrievedly.
Song Jianqiu turned her head and saw that the little girl who was unconscious just now really woke up, but her posture was not very good, the snake body was wrapped around Xiaohua's body, and a mouth bit Xiaohua's arm.
Xiaohua showed an aggrieved expression and looked at Song Jianqiu.
"What are you doing? Loosen your mouth! Song Jianqiu hurriedly walked over and shouted.
However, the little girl didn't know if she regarded them as enemies, and while biting the little flower, she showed anger at Song Jianqiu.
Seeing this scene, Song Jianqiu slowed down his tone and said, "We are not bad people!" We saved you! Loosen your mouth! ”
The girl's big eyes turned in circles, and she seemed to be a little unconvinced, but when she looked at Xiaohua and then at Song Jianqiu, they were all strangers, and they didn't seem to have any malicious intent, so she gradually let go of her mouth, and the snake body wrapped around Xiaohua was loosened.
However, she was still very vigilant, and as soon as she let go of Xiaohua, she swam directly to the corner, and then looked at Xiaohua and Song Jianqiu with a wary face.
"Is Xiaohua okay?" Song Jianqiu walked over, touched Xiaohua's head, and checked the part of her bite while comforting her.
"It hurts a little bit!" Xiaohua raised her arm, which had two tooth marks on it, but showed no signs of poisoning.
Judging from the color of the snake's body scales on the girl's body, it is a bit like a red chain snake in the yang world; It stands to reason that the red chain snake is non-venomous, but the girl is a snake demon, and this is in the underworld, and she is not sure whether the non-venomous red chain snake will become a poisonous snake in the underworld.
But at present, Xiaohua is indeed not poisoned, and she has not taken a heavy mouth, the other party probably wants to take Xiaohua as a hostage to threaten her?
After comforting Xiaohua, Song Jianqiu walked towards the stone bed, the girl who was shrinking in the corner became even more nervous, the snake body coiled up, opened her mouth, and kept swallowing the snake letter, the expression on her face became very nervous, and she showed a threatening expression.
But even so, Song Jianqiu still walked to the stone bed and looked each other up and down carefully.
"What's your name?"
She opened her mouth to ask, but the girl just stared at her without moving, neither speaking nor moving, it could be seen that she was very vigilant, even if Song Jianqiu and Xiaohua did not do anything to harm her, she still did not trust the two of them.
Song Jianqiu thought about it, and asked other questions carefully, such as where he lived and why he was injured all over his body? Was it being hunted down? Wait a minute.
But no matter how she asked, the girl didn't say a word, but when she heard Song Jianqiu say that she was injured all over her body, the girl seemed to find that the injuries on her body had healed, and she naturally knew that Song Jianqiu did it, and her face eased a little, but she still remained vigilant.
Seeing this scene, Song Jianqiu knew that in a short period of time, it would be difficult to gain the trust of this girl, this vigilance was probably formed in a long-term tense state, and I don't know what happened to this girl, and she would become so insecure!
Since the other party doesn't speak, then she doesn't care, anyway, she can't say that it's an accident to save the girl, but the other party took the initiative to get in, can take care of the other party, and heal the injury, it's already very good, even if you want to understand further, but the other party doesn't speak, don't cooperate, then she can't help it.
However, now that there is one more stranger, her sense of security has also decreased, and she does not dare to practice the Ten Buddha's Methods and Soul Refining Methods again, so she simply sits down cross-legged on the open space, closes her eyes and concentrates, and recalls and simulates what she has learned in her mind.
In this way, it is better than sitting and doing nothing.
The cave seemed unusually quiet for a while, and after the girl found that Song Jianqiu and Xiaohua ignored her, she fell into a daze, her eyes were full of sadness, and she didn't know if she recalled any sad past.
And Xiaohua was bitten before, although it was only a little painful, but she was also a little afraid that the girl would bite her again, so she was a little far away, but she couldn't help but look at each other curiously.
The girl is very beautiful, very cute, delicate like a porcelain doll, especially the snake tail, which has a black and red ring pattern on it, which looks gorgeous and beautiful, and attracts the attention of Xiaohua, who glances back and forth on the tail.
Perhaps this gaze was too obvious, and the girl seemed to notice it, and couldn't help but shrink the snake's tail, trying to hide.
However, this is also useless, her tail is three or four meters long, when Song Jianqiu moved her in, it took a lot of effort, and she couldn't even put down the stone bed, so she could only curl it up and pile it up in a pile, in this case, where could she hide it?
The girl probably noticed this, so she didn't see any movement, the originally long snake tail suddenly became transparent, and gradually disappeared, and then, Ren Bai's legs appeared.
Xiaohua witnessed the whole process, couldn't help but widen her eyes, and shouted in surprise: "Mom, Mom! The White Lady has regained her human form! ”
What the hell is the White Lady? What kind of TV series does Xiaohua watch with her mother at home! And Bai Suzhen is a white snake, which is obviously different from this girl's species, okay!
Song Jianqiu didn't bother to complain about Xiaohua, opened her eyes, and saw that the girl's snake tail was gone, replaced by a pair of legs, no wonder Xiaohua said that she had regained her human form.
Xiaohua yelled, the girl was a little frightened, she didn't know who the white lady was, what the hell was it to return to human form, wasn't she always human?
She looked at Xiaohua nervously, and then at Song Jianqiu, but it seemed that after some time just now, her vigilance had decreased a lot.
The snake demon was able to switch between the human form and the original form, which was not surprising, the monsters were like this, so Song Jianqiu also glanced at it, and then did not look at it again, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
Xiaohua originally wanted to continue staring at the girl, but Shi Ling seemed to be bored with spinning around her head, so she fell down and lured Xiaohua to play with her.
Although Xiaohua looks like she is eleven or twelve years old, her mental age is still a child, and she can't stand the temptation, so she soon plays with Shi Ling, running around in a small cave, and has a lot of fun playing simple games.
The girl looked expressionless, but she was not so nervous.
I don't know how long it took, Song Jianqiu heard that the whistling outside had weakened, so he woke up from his meditation, asked Shi Ling to open the hole, and then climbed to the exit to take a look, and sure enough, it stopped, so he went out directly, stood at the mouth of the cave and stretched his limbs.
Although it is not difficult for Shi Ling to open a large cave, if he stays in it all the time, he will still feel very stuffy after a long time, so it is better to be outside, the sky is high and the earth is wide, and it is much more comfortable.
After stretching a few times, she lowered her head and called Xiaohua out of the hole.
After a while, Xiaohua and Shi Ling came out and ran around happily outside.
However, the little snake girl didn't come out, Song Jianqiu didn't care about her, she was about to leave after taking the little flower, but not far away, she heard movement behind her, turned her head and looked, and saw that the little snake girl followed at some point, and the lower body recovered the snake body, on the ground full of gravel and dirt, the crawling speed was actually much faster than walking on both feet.
Seeing that Song Jianqiu and Xiaohua set their steps and looked back at her, the little snake girl also stopped and kept a certain distance.
Looking at this, it seems that you want to follow her?
Then let's do it!
Song Jianqiu also ignored it, turned around and continued to move forward, and the little snake girl really followed again.
In the next few days, the little snake girl has been following her, when she is resting, she also rests, when she hunts ghosts and beasts, she looks from a distance, and she doesn't know what she wants to do, even if Song Jianqiu wants to take the initiative to help, so she doesn't say anything, just follows, she is also very helpless.
After a week of walking in the mountains, she finally came down and found a small town!
The town is very ordinary, smaller than the big city, larger than the mountain village, with low walls, but this is actually useless for defending against wandering spirits and ghosts, and it is probably just a psychological comfort.
This town, built on a flat plain, is heavily guarded and guarded by special guards, unlike mountain villages, which still rely on hunters to guard.
Of course, these specialized guards will definitely cost a lot of money, which is why the mountain village can't afford to hire them.
There is no concept of a country in the underworld, even if there is any conflict, it is generally a matter of some big cities grabbing resources and territory with each other, like this kind of small mountain village or something, just survive in the gap between the big cities, and generally no one will attack or occupy it, so the main job of these guards is to protect non-human enemies, such as evil ghosts and spirits.
In this way, the entry and exit are actually very relaxed, and Song Jianqiu, Xiaohua and Little Snake Girl entered the town very easily.
Entering the town, Song Jianqiu can't be said to be like a hillbilly entering the Grand View Garden, and it is strange to see everything, but she still feels very curious about the villages, towns and cities in this world.
Although the houses in the town are all ancient buildings, there are some modern hints of modern age in some details.
For example, there are lantern signs in the shops, some grocery stores, etc., and on the street, you can even occasionally see people riding bicycles, or people playing basketball on the street, etc., at first glance, it is really a bit out of place, and people think that this is some kind of film and television base, and these people are all actors.
The technology of the yang world is developing, and the underworld is also gradually affected accordingly, but compared with the deep-rooted ancient habits of the underworld, it is still difficult to have much impact on the modern world that has just been more than a hundred years old.
Song Jianqiu walked on the street, curiously looking at the surrounding environment, Xiaohua was the same, only the little snake girl, still following behind, but she didn't care about the surrounding environment at all, just staring at Song Jianqiu in front, as if she was afraid of losing it.
This town is not big, but Song Jianqiu felt quite interesting, after a few turns, I saw a very large grocery store, or should I say a department store, so I walked in, there are a lot of dazzling inside, but there are also a lot of goods, there are daily utensils, such as spoons, chopsticks, dishes, etc., but more, or axes, bows, swords and other blades.
As mentioned before, there is a hierarchy of blades in the underworld, which are wood, iron, silver, gold, and jade.
The lowest level of wood is really wood, and iron is also real iron, which is the iron of the underworld called yin iron, which is a little different from the yang, but it is roughly the same.
And what silver, gold and jade after that, etc., is not a real finger, not really made of silver, gold and jade materials, but a virtual finger, that is, a hierarchical grade, through some kind of certification, it can be called silver, or gold, or jade.
