() Chapter 257: Taoism

The whole world is so illusory and weird, the sky and the surrounding space are covered with boundless black lines, so that the distant scenery is like a piece of canvas coarsely pieced together, several iron locks that go straight into the sky are the center of the world, these iron locks are submerged into the sky at one end, and one side is connected to a platform floating in mid-air, and above the platform is a man bound by iron locks, ** upper body, revealing pale skin sè, half kneeling on the ground, hanging his head, black sè long hair covering his face, It seems that he has been dead for a long time, quietly.

Suddenly, the peace of the world was broken, and stairs formed by energy rose out of thin air, from the ground to the end of the platform, and a young man with long black hair slowly stepped forward and walked to the man tied on the platform, with a leisurely and casual expression, as if the monarch was inspecting his own territory.

The young man looked condescendingly at the man kneeling on the platform, suddenly squatted down, grabbed the other party's long hair, and met a pair of unruly eyes written on it, as crazy and cruel as at the beginning of the seal, and no beauty and goodness could be found in it.

The young man didn't care about this, but his face was a little more solemn, and his free left hand suddenly turned into his palm like a knife, and slammed into the chest of the prisoner under the stairs, but at this time, there was no scene of blood and flesh splashing, and the pale-skinned man seemed to be a clay man, and under the depression of his chest, the young man's left hand was actually sucked into his body.

Like a flame, with the young man's movements, a cloud of dark purple energy with an ominous meaning was spreading from the pale man's body to the young man's left hand, towards his whole body.

The prisoner's face was contorted, he struggled constantly, and let out a roar of rage, but the young man was unmoved, and the left hand inserted into the opponent's chest even spun vigorously.

The layer of dark purple energy that covered the surface gradually enveloped the boy's whole body over time, and the faint light flickered and changed, while at the same time, the body of the man who was bound by the iron chain continued to dissolve and disappear like a mud puppet until it was completely gone.

When there was no figure at the end of the chain, the dark purple energy that wrapped the boy finally stopped flickering and changing, but when this energy subsided from his body like water, what was revealed was not the face of the boy, but the man who was still bound by the chain before.

After the man's initial doubts, he suddenly burst out laughing as he unconsciously stared at his hands.

Syllable!

The man was laughing, shivering uncontrollably, and under the shaking of his body, a figure rushed out of his body, and only stood up after rolling on the platform, but it was the young man before.

The young man seemed to be blind to the strange events that had happened before, with a joy on his face that was difficult to hide, and it was not until the man who was a prisoner not long ago cast a fierce gaze on him that the young man seemed to react, and his face calmed down.

In Shikamaru's jīng god space, a fight is staged.

…………

Shikamaru sat cross-legged on a futon, there was no light in the humble house, and the only light in the room came from the bright moonlight.

A faint light shone from the window onto Shikamaru's raised palm, illuminating a ball of energy that was as black as ink and still wriggling, its edges constantly bulging, as if something inside wanted to break out of the cocoon.

Shikamaru Jujīng stared at the energy in his hand attentively, and didn't seem to notice that the Bagua Seal on his neck gradually began to emit a faint light, and the sealing technique began to loosen under the power of Chakra, and a flame-like cloud pattern emerged from here, starting with the sealing rune and spreading to the rest of Shikamaru's body.

At the same time, the jīng divine energy condensed in Shikamaru's hand also underwent significant changes under the influence of the curse seal and the consciousness of the Great Snake Pill, and a little undetectable dark purple sè energy suddenly appeared in the pitch-black jīng divine energy, and constantly expanded its influence, as time passed, the energy ball in Shikamaru's hand was finally completely filled, and the jīng divine energy of the pitch-black sè was rejected back into Shikamaru's body, and this mass appeared from Shikamaru's body, but it had nothing to do with his jīng god's heart, Even the hostile deep purple sè energy, as if born to be mutually exclusive with Shikamaru, constantly twisting and changing, as if it was about to get out of his grasp at any time.

"That's enough." Shikamaru, who had been expressionless, suddenly said in a deep voice, as if reminding himself of something, as soon as his words fell, the curse mark cloud pattern that almost permeated his whole body seemed to be extremely unwilling to slowly retract into the gossip seal, and the purple sè energy condensed in his right palm gradually disappeared.

"That's it." When the curse mark and the dark purple energy completely disappeared, Shikamaru's consciousness was restored, and he couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of relief, wiped the fine sweat that had unconsciously oozing from his forehead, and thought with relief: "It's time to get out of here." ”

Shikamaru has been staying in this temple for a while, no matter what, it's time to leave, after all, he is a traitor, if he waits a little longer, I'm afraid that there will be trouble at that time, he is naturally not afraid, he just doesn't want to disturb the monks of this temple, at this time, the new art research is successful, he wants to leave here as much as possible.

Shikamaru stood up from the futon, moved his hands and feet indoors, frowned and thought for a while, or decided to get up and leave now, since he had made up his mind, with his vigorous and resolute style, he naturally acted quickly, Suo xìng He didn't have much luggage, and it had been sorted out in a while.

Shikamaru, who walked out of the door, did not go directly to the temple gate and left from there, but came to the abbot's residence, and when he saw that there was still a fluorescent light coming from inside, he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

"Come in." The abbot's slightly tired and hoarse voice came from inside the room, and he didn't ask who it was, and directly let Shikamaru enter the room.

"Master." When Shikamaru entered the house and closed the door, he saw him sitting at the table, calculating the accounts with the bean headlights, and he bowed first and said, "I am here to resign." ”

"Oh." The abbot put down the ledger in his hand and looked at Shikamaru, but there was no surprise on his face, after all, Shikamaru was obviously not a person who stayed in the temple for a long time, and it was not surprising to resign at this time, but the abbot's expression seemed to be a little cold.

Shikamaru didn't care, took out a stack of money from the ninja bag, stepped forward and put down the abbot's table, and said in a deep voice: "I can only use these mundane things to do my best, master forgive me." ”

The abbot didn't mean to excuse himself, and after hearing Shikamaru's words, he nodded very dryly, and bowed to him, "Thank you, donor." ”

"Master, if someone comes to the temple to inquire about the news after I leave, tell them that I am going to the land of thunder, and there is no need to hide it, so as not to add trouble to the temple." Shikamaru said in a deep voice.

The abbot smiled and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Shikamaru bowed to the abbot again, and was about to leave the room, halfway through, but suddenly turned around and asked, "Speaking of which, I still don't know the master's law." ”

There are not many monks in the temple, and most of them are not qualified to call the abbot Dharma number, the same as Shikamaru, they are just called his abbot, the only three old monks who are qualified to call the abbot Dharma name, one is practicing closed-mouth meditation, Shikamaru rarely sees his figure, one insists on penance, taciturn, and the last one likes to study Buddhist scriptures, and also likes to be silent, but now, Shikamaru is a little embarrassed to find that he still doesn't know what the name of this old monk who has awakened his mind is.

"Customs." The abbot replied crisply.

It's really an ugly Dharma name, Shikamaru smiled, the Dharma name of the old monk who practiced closed-mouth Zen was "Daozhen", the one who insisted on asceticism was "Daopu", and the name of the Buddhist scriptures was "Daohong", plus this self-proclaimed "Taoist" abbot who did not believe in Buddhism, and the vision of the former resident to see people was also superior.
