Jun Yi's words made him stunned, but then his eyes lit up and he asked, "Jun Gongzi, why did you say this?"

"It's just a little speculation. ”

Jun Yi didn't hide his thoughts, and after a little tidying up, he pointed to the stone plate and said, "Look at the first picture depicted on this stone plate, that is, you and I are sitting cross-legged." ”

After looking closely, he found that there was no difference from what he saw during the day, so he wondered, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

"If you look closely, there's something we've overlooked. ”

Jun Yi took a few steps forward, walked straight to the carved scroll, pointed to the missing part of the picture, and said lightly: "There should still be something here, but it has been too long, and it has been worn away in countless years in the past." ”

"If what I expected, this is the moon hanging high in the sky, and here is the monster that screams from the shrill roar. ”

Hearing this, Hollow hurriedly stepped forward, hurriedly and cautiously leaned down, and seriously looked at the two points out by Jun Yi that had been completely wiped out.

The lines on the stone plate are undulating, criss-crossed, and although the outline in the painting scroll is rough, you can also see the outline of the landscape, the shape of the grass and trees, and the two figures sitting upright.

Looking along the lines in the painting, the hollow eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, the forest in the picture is soaring to the sky, and there is a thick branch that seems to be about to go straight into the sky, but it is cut off by force in the vague place in the volume.

"If I expected it to be good. ”

Jun Yi spoke at the right time and said lightly: "The scene carved here should be the branches on the moon. ”

"Yes, yes, as it should be. ”

Hollow nodded again and again, his eyes were also excited, and he looked at another vague and missing place again, but found that it was blank, and there were no lines.

"You don't have to be disappointed. ”

Jun Yi saw that the light in the hollow eyes was slightly dim, and he couldn't help but say comfortingly: "At least we know the time, just wait quietly here." ”

"Amitabha. ”

After chanting hollowly, he slowly stood up, his eyes regained his calm again, and sighed: "It's not easy to have a clue, it's because I'm too delusional." ”

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, I'll do my best to stop it. ”

Jun Yi looked directly at the hollow, the gaze in his eyes was firm and serious, which made the hollow heart warm a little, nodded, and then sat cross-legged again, silently recited the Buddhist scriptures, and entered the state of cultivation.

The stars shift, the waning moon gradually sets, the morning light reflects the world, the sun greets the ring, and the waning moon goes up to the branches.

It was night, Jun Yi and Hollow, who were sitting cross-legged on the stone plate of the mountain col, opened their eyes again, and there was a slight expectant light in their calm eyes, waiting to verify the guess of the day before yesterday.

Suddenly, there were birds and beasts in the forest in the distance, which made the eyes of Jun Yi and Hollow suddenly light up.

"Woo..."

Almost at the same time, a shrill and piercing cry came from far and near, faintly and faintly, like an eerie cold sound rubbed by inferior metal, constantly echoing through the forest.

"Sure enough!"

Hearing this, the two glanced at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

If the stone plate is well painted, then the monster that makes a crying sound must be the key to opening the ruins of the Buddha Gate.

"Let's go!"

Jun Yi spoke softly, the two of them did not hesitate any longer, and ran quickly in the direction where the voice came from, but after all, the other party's origin was unknown, and the strength and weakness were unknown, so they still restrained their breath and moved forward cautiously.

"Wooh... Uhhhh

Soon, the cry sounded again, and the shrill hoarse voice gradually approached, as I had heard yesterday, and there was a little poignancy and misery in the voice.

Just the sound makes people's hearts unbearable and compassionate, even Jun Yi unconsciously gives birth to a little empathetic compassion, not to mention the deep hollowness of Buddha nature.

"Poof..."

The two of them were running wildly, when they suddenly heard a heavy sound of flapping wings, which came from not far away.

"Be careful!"

Jun Yi frowned, and hurriedly grabbed a hollow heart that sank into sorrow, and then hid the figures of the two into the darkness, held his breath, and quietly looked ahead.

"Wooh... Wooh... Uhhhh

At this time, the cry started again, due to the proximity of Jun Yi and Hollow Xin, the sound echoing in the ears was more like a cry that went deep into the heart, crying out of grief and sadness.

At the same time, it was also when this voice came out, Jun Yi and Hollow, who were hidden in the darkness, also clearly saw the source of the sound.

It turned out that the one who fluttered its wings in the night was a bird with red eyes and blood, but it was no more than the size of a foot.

Jun Yi looked at it carefully, but found that he didn't have any impression of this bird, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What kind of demon beast is this?"

"I didn't expect..."

At this time, the hollow on his side was muttering to himself, his eyes were lowered, and his gaze was slightly dull.

Seeing this, Jun Yi's heart couldn't help but sink, and he quickly gathered his doubts, leaned on the side of the hollow body, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Let's go, let's go back. ”

Hollow did not respond to Jun Yi's words, but turned around and walked away with a sympathetic face, followed the way he came, walked back to the stone plate, sat cross-legged again, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the vague and missing lines, and was silent.

Jun Yi saw that Hollow's mood was wrong, and his doubts were even worse, but he didn't speak, so he quietly accompanied. Miao

At the same time, some bad premonitions slowly came up in his heart, which made him feel deeply depressed, and he didn't know what to say if he wanted to speak, so he waited patiently.

"No wonder..."

After a long time, when the night was about to disperse and the morning light was getting brighter, Hollow said in a low voice: "No wonder the stone plate pattern is like this, it turns out to be like this." ”

"Do you understand the meaning of the stone plate carving?"

Seeing that the hollow heart was like this, the feeling of depression in his heart became heavier and heavier, so he asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on? What is that demon beast?"

Hollow took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions slightly, looked at the inscription on the ground with compassion, and said: "This demon bird is a legendary beast, name: Bitterness. ”

"Misery?"

Jun Yi was stunned when he heard this, and thought about it carefully, but found that he didn't have any memory of the Bitter Bird, so he listened patiently.

"The Bitter Bird is a legendary bird, but this bird is different from other demon birds that have cultivated to the world and are the best in ancient and modern times. ”

The hollow eyes are slightly empty, I don't know what is in his heart, I only listen to his low words, slightly depressed: "This bitter bird, born in heaven and earth, has no parents and children, no brothers and sisters, only this one in the same world, can not speak human language, cannot speak with birds, cannot speak with beasts, can only wander alone." ”

"Not only that, but when heaven and earth are born of suffering, there is no essence condensation, and when they are born, they only have wings and no legs, and they can only be born in the void, grow in the void, walk in the void, rest in the void, but... Dead on the ground. ”

"Bitterness, bitterness, why suffering?"

"This..."

Jun Yi's eyes trembled when he heard this, he didn't think that there was such a miserable demon bird in the world, just hearing the origin, it made people feel a deep chill, and he felt pity and sympathy.

It's just a lifetime of loneliness, and you have to suffer for a lifetime, until you die to get the long-lost liberation, how cruel is this?

Even if Jun Yi was reborn in the ninth life and suffered countless tortures, he asked himself that it was much better than it, far from being comparable, and he couldn't imagine how miserable the life of the Bitter Bird should be.

I can only sigh and mourn.

Hollow didn't speak again, just sat there quietly, reaching out and stroking the void on the stone plate, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing that the atmosphere here was a little depressing, Jun Yi thought about it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Hollow, since you know the origin of the bitter bird, do you know the meaning of the stone plate painting?"

Hollow was stunned when he heard this, and his empty eyes rippled slightly, but he didn't speak, just closed his eyes gently.

Seeing this, Jun Yi couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, and also sat cross-legged on one side, entered the cultivation, and didn't think about the bitter bird anymore, after all, it was too cruel, no wonder its cry would be like this.

Time passes, and the years turn.

Almost in the blink of an eye, days had passed, the sun had set, the stars had turned to chess, night had fallen again, and the moon had arrived as promised.

But the difference from the previous days is that tonight, the moon is full.

Similarly, as in the previous days, Jun Yi and Hollow slowly opened their eyes, and looked into the depths of the forest together, waiting for the bitter bird to flap its wings.

However, unlike a few days ago, Jun Yi and Hollow did not go to the depths of the forest again.

Because after these few nights of observation, the Bitter Bird will gradually lean towards the col surrounded by mountains and rivers as the sky and the moon become fuller, and now that the moon is full, it is time for the Bitter Bird to arrive here.

If it is said that the Bitter Bird is related to the ruins of Buddhism, I am afraid that it will be tonight.

Jun Yi got up, his white robe hunted in the night wind, looked at the full moon hanging high in the sky, and said hollowly to his side: "Let's hide in the dark first and see the specific situation, right?"

It's just that after counting the time, Jun Yi didn't hear Hollow's response, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and subconsciously looked, but saw that Hollow was still sitting on the stone plate, his hands folded, and silently reciting Buddhist scriptures.

At the same time, as the voice of reciting Buddhist scriptures in the hollow mouth whispered, a faint golden light began to diffuse, lingering around the body, and gradually covering the body again.

The Buddha's light on the hollow face flows, as if due to the relationship of the Buddha's light, the whole person looks very peaceful, and the expression on his face is filled with rich compassion, like a Buddha who purifies all beings.

Jun Yi's heart was depressed, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition, and said in a deep voice: "Hollow, what are you doing?"

"Woo..."

At the same time, just as Jun Yi's voice fell, the sharp and miserable cry of the Bitter Bird had already resounded through the forest, and it was rapidly approaching the mountain col.

"Amitabha. ”

At this time, the hollow also spoke gently, and the deep murmur seemed to contain a strange power at this moment, like ripples, spreading out to the surroundings.

At the same time as the voice came out of the hollow mouth, the golden light on his body also shone in all directions.

In the col, the hollow heart bathed in golden light seems to be the real Buddha descending at this moment, with an inexplicable majesty on his body, and the whole body is flowing with an amiable atmosphere.

Seeing this, Jun Yi's heart flashed, and he immediately understood the meaning of hollowness, and couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, "Hollow, stop, don't be impulsive." ”

It's just that the hollow heart bathed in the light of the Buddha, shouting at Jun Yi as if he hadn't heard it, still reciting the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, making the Buddha light around him more and more intense, and the light shining from the body is also more peaceful and close.

"Hollow!"

Jun Yi was in a hurry, gritted his teeth and couldn't care about anything, he rushed forward directly, and he was about to forcibly stop the hollow behavior, but when Jun Yi's outstretched hand had not touched the hollow.

"Bang!"

A huge burst of force shook Jun Yi back, and it took three steps before he stopped.

At the same time, a layer of strange glass light gradually floated around the hollow body, and the brilliance of the whole body was uncertain, making the hollow heart bathed in the Buddha's light more holy, and the breath was more peaceful.

"Wooh... Uhhhh

Almost at the same time, the cry of the Bitter Bird approached again.
