0680 Midnight solstice, hungry ghosts!
"Those hungry ghosts are really so powerful, even you have suffered?"
Hearing the old monk's words, Bi Xia was shocked and asked in disbelief.
He couldn't know more about the strength of this old monk, this guy was transformed by the Bodhi tree, not only with infinite strength and tenacity, but also with extremely pure Buddhist power, and even knew a lot of Buddhist supernatural powers, even with Bi Xia's current strength, he was not completely sure that he could defeat this old monk.
More importantly, the power of Buddhism has a natural ability to restrain ghosts, but at this moment, this old monk is deflated in the hands of those hungry ghosts, which shows how terrible those hungry ghosts are.
"Hungry ghosts are different from ordinary ghosts, they are not only numerous, but also have a terrible devouring ability, whether it is flesh, metal, energy, it is their food, even if the Dharma has a certain restraint ability for them, can enhance the lethality of them, but they are also able to devour the power of Buddhism, in short, it is extremely difficult."
The old monk shook his head and said, "Especially in the soul fire that came a few days ago, these hungry ghosts even swept away a lot of soul fire, and after that, their strength became even more terrifying, even if I could only shrink here, I couldn't help them." ”
“……”
Hearing the old monk's words, Zhao Ren, Bi Xia and Baili Mingyu all fell silent.
Obviously, this task is more difficult than they imagined!
Especially after the fourth Heavenly Change, the strength of these hungry ghosts has been further improved, which makes it more difficult for them to complete this task.
But if they are asked to give up the task, they are a little unwilling.
Big risks often mean big opportunities, and being able to turn C City into a ghost, and even this Bodhi tree is difficult to deal with, so it can be seen that there must be something extremely powerful in the National Defense University of Science and Technology!
In addition, this task of the National Defense University of Science and Technology is also very important for Huang Sheng to break through the Yuanying realm, if this part of the points is missing, then it will be difficult for them to help Huang Sheng break through to the Yuanying realm in the next tasks.
"Are you really going to sit idly by and watch this city turn into a ghost, and countless creatures die in it?"
Thinking of this, Bi Xia suddenly asked the old monk: "Killing demons and destroying demons, purifying the world is the duty of people in Buddhism, you won't even forget this, right?" ”
"I can't leave here, I can only act with you as a Bodhi condensation incarnation, but even with the power of my incarnation, it is almost impossible for us to defeat those hungry ghosts, let alone the mastermind behind the scenes hidden in the National Defense Science and Technology University......"
The old monk knew what Bi Xia wanted to say, but he still shook his head and said, "So unless you can find some good hands like you, I won't let you die." ”
When the words fell, the branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree shook, and countless golden branches and leaves were like a sky net, enveloping the entire Kaifu Temple.
"You want to trap us?"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ren's face changed, and the demonic fire all over his body surged out, and he was ready to make a move.
"I'm not trying to trap you, I'm trying to protect you."
The old monk shook his head and said lightly: "If you don't reach the Yellow River, you won't die, you won't cry if you don't see the coffin, everyone in the world is like this, now it's close to midnight, and when midnight comes, those hungry ghosts will appear, and then you can fight with those hungry ghosts, try their strength, and then you will die." ”
Speaking of this, the old monk paused slightly, and then with a wave of his right hand, a stone table and some stone benches appeared under the Bodhi tree, and at the same time, a pot of tea exuding a faint fragrance appeared on the stone table.
"It's a lesson, let's try my Bodhi tea first, although it's not a treasure, but it can also help you strengthen your body, cleanse your soul, and at the same time, it can also bless you with Buddha power, so that you won't be too embarrassed when you meet those hungry ghosts."
After changing the tea, the old monk shook his head, and cleaned up under the Bodhi tree again, seemingly not caring whether Bi Xia and the others drank his tea.
"That's good stuff!"
Just when Baili Mingyu and Zhao Ren were still a little hesitant, Bi Xia took the lead in pouring himself a cup of tea, then drank it all in one gulp, sighed, and said with a smile: "Come on, he won't poison us yet." ”
"Good!"
Zhao Ren and Baili Mingyu may not believe the old monk, but they have absolute trust in Bi Xia, so when they heard Bi Xia's words at this moment, they also sat down, and each poured a cup of tea and drank it all.
As Bi Xia said, this Bodhi tea is indeed a good thing, at this moment, with this cup of tea under the stomach, Baili Mingyu and Zhao Ren suddenly only felt a gentle force began to flow in their bodies, as if warming every inch of their muscles and bones, and at the same time, their spirits also lifted, and their heads became extremely clear.
And after discovering that this Bodhi tea is a good thing, the three of them will not be polite, and they have drunk one cup after another, and soon drank the pot of tea cleanly.
After drinking, Bi Xia even fished out the three golden tea leaves in the teapot, and then handed one to Zhao Ren and Baili Mingyu respectively, and said embarrassedly: "Put it in your mouth, don't swallow it, this is a Bodhi leaf, although it is not as precious as Bodhi Zi, but it can be regarded as a treasure." ”
After speaking, Bi Xia directly stuffed the Bodhi leaf into his mouth, and Zhao Ren and Baili Mingyu also followed him to hold the leaf in their mouths.
For a moment, they only felt as if they were holding a mint leaf in their mouths, and a cool feeling rushed to the top of their heads, making their heads clearer, but at the same time, a gentle force continued to pour out of the Bodhi leaves, blending into their bodies, and continuing to strengthen and moisturize their bodies.
The old monk didn't seem to care about Bi Xia and the others' behavior of drinking up the tea and even fishing away the tea leaves, or rather, these things were originally gifts from him to Bi Xia and others.
Clang!
It didn't take long for a bell to suddenly ring from Kaifu Temple, and then the huge Bodhi tree also trembled suddenly, emitting an even more dazzling golden light.
Click!
On the other side, the gate of Kaifukuji Temple was also opened again.
"It's time!"
The old monk put away the broom in his hand, and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "As long as you leave Kaifu Temple, those hungry ghosts will smell the wind immediately after sensing your breath, and you can fight with them at that time." ”
Speaking of this, the old monk paused slightly, and then continued: "But remember that you don't stay too far away from Kaikai, otherwise once you are in danger, I am afraid that even I will not have time to save you!" ”
"Got it!"
Looking at the old monk's solemn appearance, Bi Xia and the others didn't dare to be careless, nodded solemnly, and then took a deep breath, and the three of them set off together and walked out of Kaifu Temple.
And the moment they left Kaifu Temple, Bi Xia and the others noticed that something was wrong!
After twelve o'clock, City C has completely changed!
At this moment, at a glance, City C seems to have returned to before the end of the world, although the city is still in ruins, but there have been a large number of "people" in the city who are a little thin and like smoke.
These "people" seem to be no different from normal people before the end of the world, everyone is busy with their own business, a little pushing some dilapidated stalls to sell, some are walking on the streets, and some are even driving twisted and broken vehicles speeding down the broken roads.
All of this is so weird and terrifying, as if City C has turned into a real ghost town, and these "people" are the residents of the ghost town!
However, this originally weird and calm scene was broken by the appearance of Bi Xia and others!
As Bi Xia and the others left Kaifu Temple, these "people" in City C, or rather the "hungry ghosts", also seemed to have turned into sharks smelling blood, stopped their movements one by one, and then turned their heads, locking their eyes like black mist on Bi Xia and the others.
Then, these hungry ghosts seemed to have seen hungry wolves with flesh and bones, their eyes were full of black light, and then they let out a series of strange and sharp howls, and at an astonishing speed, they rushed towards Bi Xia and the others from all directions!
