Chapter 481: The Bodhi Tree's Prayer
The bronze platform was cast solemnly and solemnly, after the erosion and change of the years, although it lost its original complexity and magnificence, but the ancient totem carved on it still exudes a majesty that makes people involuntarily want to kneel and surrender, and the ancient words symbolizing the sacrificial oracle on the four bronze pillars are all over the meandering, and the surrounding white bones complement each other, revealing a sacrificial atmosphere that is both grand and gorgeous, but also cruel and bloody.
An ancient tree has multiplied into a forest, and Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes with awe, looking up at the ancient tree in front of him with a humble attitude.
All things in the world have spirits, this towering ancient tree in front of him is a well-deserved king on this island, the torrent of years has not been able to break its deep roots, the lush blue branches and leaves cover the top, covering all the dazzling warm sun and brilliance of the outside world, when Nan Fusheng approached this ancient tree, he clearly felt the bronze ancient sword in his hand emitted a shock and sorrow of awe.
He frowned slightly and clenched the bronze ancient sword in his hand, perceiving that this man was also precious, but contaminated with the bloody breath of the emperor's life, this ancient sword transformed from a bronze statue was very obedient and obediently suppressed the vibration and sorrow, and the beast totem on the carved sword body closed his eyes wonderfully, and fell into a calm sleep.
At this moment, no one made any noise to disturb the peace here.
Even though the place was covered with white bones and skulls staring at them with swarthy eyes, the atmosphere here was still quiet and peaceful.
Nan Zuisheng raised her head and stared at the ancient tree in front of her, the kind of warm call that pulled her was intermittently passed from this ancient tree, she could sense that this ancient tree had no ill will towards her, so she let down her vigilance and vigilance, her ink eyes were clear and moist looking at this tall and vigorous ancient tree, and she knelt down slowly with extreme humility.
Seeing Nan Zuisheng's movements, Nan Fusheng did not hesitate for a moment, and then knelt down and plunged the bronze ancient sword in his hand into the soil.
Within a moment, all the survivors knelt down, looking up at the towering tree in front of them with awe, the lush green foliage covering the entire island like an umbrella cover, and the green vines that wrapped around it condensed the red and round fruits, this was a land where the sacred and the evil were intertwined.
Receiving the respect from Nan Zuisheng and others, this towering ancient tree shook its branches and leaves slightly, and then saw a green vine slowly climbing down the trunk like a poisonous snake, swimming flexibly beside Nan Zuisheng.
Seeing the situation, Nan Fusheng's eyes froze, and the hand holding the hilt of the bronze ancient sword instantly tightened, and just as he was about to get up and cut off this dangerous demonic green vine, an invisible and traceless force suddenly descended from the darkness, firmly fixing his body in place and unable to move. Fortunately, this force did not attack him, it just fixed him in place.
After the verdant green vine meandered to Nan Zuisheng's side, it gradually transformed into a human form composed of vines, but this time the human form that changed was no longer like a thin and terrifying skeleton, but transformed into a flesh-and-blood, decent human form.
Lin Meng and the others widened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief, secretly thinking in their hearts, could it be that the bronze statue was true? This stunning girl is really the 'god' who came to redeem them, so these obviously weird and murderous green vines will transform into such a normal and harmless appearance after meeting Nan Zuisheng.
After seeing this kind of differential treatment, they only sighed in their hearts and sighed to themselves.
I saw the upright human form transformed into vines...... No, a full-fledged, flesh-and-blood human to be exact, and a man of average stature. The man was dressed in an ancient and intricate garment, which looked like silk garments, but the craftsmanship was too crude, and he barely managed to sew a decent robe to the ground.
After the upright man respectfully knelt on the ground and saluted, he offered all the red fruits condensed on his green vine body to Nan Zuisheng, and then he glanced at Nan Zuisheng with a relieved gaze, then gradually disappeared with a faint smile, turning into a burst of pale cyan smoke and completely disappearing.
Nan Zuisheng lowered her eyelashes a little dazedly, staring at the handful of red and round fruits in her palm, after the upright man turned into cyan smoke and disappeared, she clearly noticed that there was a very shallow and faint vitality completely annihilated on this island, just like that pale green smoke, slowly disappearing with the breeze.
Just when she was confused, the vigorous and upright ancient tree in front of her finally gradually changed, only to see a blue-green vortex slowly emerging from the thick trunk of more than 20 people who were difficult to fully embrace, and a gentle man in cyan costume slowly walked out from the blue-green vortex, his temperament and gaze were so quiet and soft, so that everyone who knelt down to him couldn't help but calm down.
Lin Meng and the others looked at this man in green shirts who was as warm as jade, and only felt that the scene in front of them was far beyond the boundaries they could imagine, this was clearly a man from an ancient country--- or a god, because only a god would live forever, and he would continue to live in the world after the changes of the years.
The man in the green shirt walked slowly, everywhere he walked was regrowing green, the soil under his feet was no longer barren, but gradually spreading on the fresh and vigorous grass and wild flowers, and the surrounding lush branches and green vines shook their bodies, revealing a rustling sound, accumulating and overlapping together with a gentle but not negligible majesty resounded in everyone's ears.
"It's finally time for you." The man who was as warm as jade hooked his lips and smiled, he bent down to help Nan Zuisheng and Nan Fusheng, who were kneeling humbly, and his voice and tone were as gentle and elegant as his whole person.
Nan Zuisheng stared at the man in the green shirt in front of her, the tunic and narrow-sleeved clothing made of silk looked very complicated and gorgeous, but it was also full of ancient vicissitudes, she couldn't hide her confusion and blinked her clear ink eyes, and asked softly: "Are you ......?" ”
"I am the one who waits for the gods, you can call me Bodhi." The man in the green shirt, who was as warm as jade, looked at Nan Zuisheng's clear ink eyes, and said slowly in a leisurely tone.
Bodhi.
Hearing him say this, Nan Zuisheng instantly understood something, she crossed the side of the man in green shirts, and looked at the verdant and upright ancient tree behind the other party. No wonder when she looked at this tree, she always felt very familiar, but she couldn't remember what this tree was called.
Nan Fusheng stared at the man in green shirt in front of him with dim eyes, it was obvious that this man who was as gentle as jade was a god from an ancient country, and his status was very noble, which could be glimpsed from the gorgeous silk clothes worn by the other party, but between his gestures, he was not contaminated with the grace and luxury of the superior.
"Bodhi...... Since it is a sacred tree in Buddhism, why did it take root here? Nan Zuisheng said as he looked at the white bones scattered around with a faint sadness, those white bones were not rotten, but were piled up under the Bodhi tree, exuding an aura of death that was difficult to ignore.
Sensing Nan Zuisheng's sadness, the man in the green shirt slowly restrained his smile, and his warm and picturesque eyebrows were also shrouded in deep sadness and despair: "Buddhism? Oh, I was originally a carefree Bodhi tree, no different from ordinary mortal trees, but in the place where I took root in a bloody and violent country, those mortals had the luxury of hoping that the heavens would hear their prayers, so they held a large-scale human sacrifice. ”
At this point, the man in the green shirt glanced at Nan Zuisheng and the others with a sad gaze, and the intricate and gorgeous clothes made of cyan silk on his body gradually changed color, and the extremely rich blood red gradually spread along the hem of the clothes to the waist, elbows, and neck.
At the same time, his warm and picturesque face also underwent earth-shaking changes, the warm and quiet divine aura was instantly impregnated into a yin and cold evil aura, and the whole face like a humble gentleman also changed into a bewitching and charming appearance, beautiful and dazzling and thrilling, but also evil and cold.
Seeing the change in this man, Nan Zui stared at him in amazement, only to see the corners of Bodhi's lips slightly hooked, and he whispered with a very desolate smile: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, you are the salvation I have waited for thousands of years to wait, if you can surpass all the souls here, I am willing to dedicate myself to you --- eternal life." ”
Before the words fell, Bodhi, dressed in bewitching red, knelt on his knees, and at the moment when Nan Zuisheng had no time to stop and support, his mouth slowly spat out a complex and astringent ancient incantation.
The appearance of his eyes closed was still so calm and peaceful, full of the divine aura of compassion and compassion.
The complex and astringent ancient spells formed a strange golden traditional Chinese characters, slowly formed together and swirled around, and the dazzling golden light lit up the entire deep and dim dense forest, except for Nan Zuisheng and Nan Fusheng, Lin Meng and the others all knelt on their knees and stared at the changes in the surrounding environment dumbfounded.
This kind of change is the real earth-shaking.
"Don't be afraid, this is the way to go back in time, and it can lead you to see the suffering that has happened here." Bodhi's warm and elegant tone flowed in everyone's ears, and when he said this, Nan Zuisheng tapped his chin, and then looked around with a wide and clear ink eye.
Although there are no high-rise buildings and endless bustle and hustle and bustle of the modern world, everyone can't help but put their hearts into it when they look at the simple and majestic buildings and magnificent scenery that quickly slide by.
But such a prosperous and quiet beauty, but suddenly in the majestic palace there abruptly stopped, only to see many ancient women dressed in gorgeous costumes Wan Ting Na holding tea cups and snacks and other things, low eyebrows and head shuttling through countless towering and majestic palace walls and palace gates, and then came to a palace in Weiyang.
The temple in Weiyang symbolizes power and status, and is the residence of the supreme and noble emperor.
The imperial costume is so intricate and gorgeous, but the embroidery on it is a pattern that has never been seen before, like a fierce and vicious beast clustered on it. The dark golden beast totem flowed on the emperor's robe, and the emperor's temperament was eerie and ruthless, and he was sitting on the throne in the hall, and a man kneeling on the side of him roared in a low voice.
There was a look of pain on Bodhi's face, and he condensed the sacrificial divine power that had been precipitated in his body for thousands of years, and reproduced the scene of time thousands of years ago in front of everyone's eyes.
The humble kneeling man endured the emperor's anger with a very deferential attitude, and it was not until the emperor had vented enough of the anger and resentment in his heart that he straightened his back tremblingly, and said something with his eyebrows lowered, which made the maids who served around him change color one after another, staring at him with a frightened and fearful face.
Hearing this, the emperor frowned and fell into deep thought, and the man who knelt humbly also fell into silence, and in the end, I don't know how long it has been, this scene was suddenly switched.
