Chapter 639: Heart Demon
Du Bai was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, he gradually calmed down from the horror of the first hearing.
What Fahai said is indeed not wrong.
The fact that the West Lake has existed for so long, and that the wind and rain have been smooth, and there are no strong winds and waves, is enough to show that the danger under the lake is not as terrible as imagined.
At least they won't take the initiative to jump out and harm others.
What's more, since the immortal is dead, just like the bones in his own hands, he should no longer have self-consciousness, and if there is no external force to intervene, there will be no special abnormalities.
But there is one more doubt.
"If the bones of that immortal are really so safe, then what is the danger in your mouth? Could it be that some demon wants to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the bones of the immortals? ”
He asked the question, but still thought it wasn't very likely.
Especially from the mouths of those little goblins, he learned that West Lake is a forbidden area that ghosts can't set foot in!
From those few words, it can also be understood that the deterrent power of the immortal bones against ghosts is still very strong, and no one dares to approach it easily.
In this case, it's hard to imagine what could threaten it......
Unexpectedly, Fahai still shook his head and denied his speculation.
"It's not a demon, it's the immortal's own inner demon."
"Demons?"
Du Bai realized that the inconspicuous monk in front of him probably knew a lot of secrets about the gods and Buddhas in his heart, and immediately asked with a solemn expression: "Since you asked me for help, tell me everything about the matter first, otherwise I can't guarantee that I can give full help." ”
He could see from his previous dealings with the other party that this Fahai was not an honest man who showed that he was wooden, and he also had a lot of his own careful thoughts in his heart.
This is true for both the Fan family and the White Snake.
He didn't like the feeling of being guarded.
Fahai did not refuse, slowly held up the golden bowl in his hand, and said: "This matter is a long story, does the Living Buddha know why that immortal was buried here?" ”
"I've only heard some folk rumors before. It is said that an immortal named Akabane Daxian was lazy to sleep, which led to a severe drought in Lin'an for three consecutive years, with countless deaths and injuries......"
He simply retold the rumors he had heard, and then turned his gaze to Fahai.
"Is this rumor true?"
Fahai's face was calm and he replied, "Half-truths. ”
His gaze looked far away at the edge of the approaching West Lake, and he continued.
"The dead immortal is indeed named Akabane Daisen, but he is loyal to his duties, and he does not dare to slack off, let alone sleep lazily. However, the three-year drought was indeed caused by him, and he eventually died because of it, and his bones were sealed under the West Lake, bearing the pain of being washed by the lake for thousands of years. ”
Du Bai listened to him, thinking of what he said before, his heart moved, and he frowned slightly.
"Is it because of this immortal's inner demon?"
The demon of the heart varies from person to person, and judging from the information that Du Bai learned from the ghost city books, it can probably be understood by "schizophrenia" in modern medicine.
Inner demons have no real entity, and they are not even external objects, but distractions generated within themselves. When you start questioning what you're doing because of some changes, you're probably already showing a little bit of it.
However, generally speaking, as the cultivation time gets longer and longer, the Dao heart will become more and more stable, and it is difficult to question one's original intention and purpose.
Not to mention the ultimate goal of all cultivators, immortals.
Everyone else is working hard to become an immortal and a Buddha, and along the way, there may be self-doubts about whether they will be able to reach the end of the road, or worry about whether they are on the wrong path.
However, the immortals have already stood at the end of this path, their strength is invincible in the world, and their status is even more supreme, what else do they have to worry about?!
That heart is even more solid, as stable as Mount Tai, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any problems!
That's a bit illogical.
What's even more surprising is that for this unreliable speculation, Fahai actually agreed!
"That's true. Ever since that demon appeared in Akabane Daisen's heart, it had been eating away at his divine sense, making it gradually become sometimes crazy and unable to extricate himself, and sometimes painful and regretful. ”
Fahai let out a long sigh, his eyes showing a bit of sadness.
"The three-year drought at the beginning was precisely because Akabane Daisen had no time to take care of it in order to suppress that demon."
"The final result is that the Red Feather Immortal was killed by other immortals because he couldn't suppress the power of the demon after all, and his body was sealed at the bottom of the West Lake, which is an unknown secret in the fairy world."
"This time, I have already sensed that the seal at the bottom of the West Lake has been loosened, and if I don't stop it, I'm afraid it won't be long before the immortal's body is completely exposed."
"I'm afraid it won't be too late."
As they spoke, the two of them traveled extremely fast and had already come to the surroundings of the West Lake.
By this time, the night had covered the whole land, and only the sparkling water on the lake was faintly discerning.
At this time, there are also a few pleasure boats with red lanterns floating on the lake, and from a distance it seems that there are laughter and musical instruments, probably where the rich and noble families are looking for fun again.
If they knew that they had the bones of an immortal under their feet at the moment, and that they were slowly recovering, and that they might descend at any time, they didn't know if they would be able to laugh so happily.
But none of this has anything to do with the two of them.
Stepping on the auspicious clouds under his feet, Fahai slowly descended to the shore, facing the water surface and gently shaking the golden bowl in his hand, and then heard the sound of "bang-la-la" water!
Du Bai looked intently and saw that the water surface had clearly separated a road that could be passed by the two of them together to the bottom of the dark lake!
Fahai took the lead and flew below, and after Du Bai hesitated slightly, he also flew down after him.
Now that I've come here, I naturally won't regret it temporarily.
But at this moment, he also had many doubts in his heart.
It turns out that immortals also produce demons!
This news was certainly very surprising, but there was another deeper doubt in his heart.
He looked back at the lake behind him, which had recovered automatically as soon as they entered, and turned to ask Fahai.
"If those are all hidden secrets in the fairy world, how can you know so clearly?"
His gaze fell on the other party's golden bowl, thinking of those relics, and he couldn't help but have some guesses.
"Is it because of those relics?"
It was as if he had absorbed a fragment of memory from the Buddha's bones.
Fahai looked indifferently and replied softly: "Because the poor monk was a friend of that Red Feather Great Immortal in his previous life, and he watched his fall with his own eyes. ”
As soon as the words fell, Du Bai's figure froze suddenly, his eyes stared at the back of Fahai in front of him, and an almost absurd and unbelievable feeling arose in his heart: "You are the reincarnation of the gods and Buddhas?!" ”
