Chapter 40: Nirvana

The hall was full of the smell of people's 'meat' in the pot, I don't know why, the 'meat' of people who didn't wash it should have stinked to death, but this smell was very 'tempting', I stood for a while, and I had the idea of taking two pieces to eat in the past

Xiao Kan should have sensed my thoughts, and looked at me with a complicated look

The look quickly slid behind me and I let out a surprised sigh

I hurriedly looked back to see that nothing had changed in the main hall, except that I could see through the window that a red 'colored' cube suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the waterhole, and a large amount of smoke evaporated from the surrounding area, which was particularly conspicuous in the dim light outside

"It's ...... The platform," I made a closer look, and it was supposed to be the platform full of skulls

"I should go over and take a look," Xiao Kan pulled me and walked out

It occurred to me that the old monk told us to stay here tonight, not knowing if there would be any danger if we would go out, and just as I was about to stop Xiao Kan, she had already run out

Forget it, anyway, the old monk didn't say what would happen if he went out, so I comforted myself casually and ran out

This part of the road is not far or close, and after coming out, the light of the platform feels even more dazzling, and it seems to be whiter than just now, and we can already feel the change in temperature halfway through, and the platform is heated by something, but it has not melted to such an extent

When it was still more than ten meters away from the platform, the heat had already 'forced' people to move forward, only to see that the platform in front of them had turned into some dazzling white 'color', while the skull above had hardly changed, only a little smoke rose, and silver 'colored' powder slowly flowed down along the grooves carved on the platform, like a faint star in the dazzling white light

My eyes were straight, and I wanted to rush over to collect that little bit of 'medicine', and I took a few steps forward, but I was 'forced' back by the heat, and this dust was the kind of thing I saw in the ground at that time, the kind of 'medicine' that was extracted from the stone bones and seemed to be able to restrain the immortals

I thought it had sunk deep into the water and could never be recovered, but I suddenly understood the meaning of our trip, something I had been looking for but lost, something that could save me and the world

A few monks were still sitting not far from the stone platform, and a few stone letters were placed next to them, and it seemed that they were ready to collect those 'medicines', I don't know how they could endure this kind of heat, but I knew that if I had to become a human in the past, I could only stand in place and wait for the temperature to drop

At this moment, the hair of the monks suddenly caught up, followed by the ragged monk's robes on their bodies, burning and floating upward, and then flames also appeared on the body of **, these monks must have died just now, and they had already been roasted into people, and they were burned to ashes almost in a blink of an eye

I was shocked by what was in front of me, and I stood on the ground, and at this moment, Liu Dongxi's voice suddenly came from behind me

"What are you doing grabbing things?"

"Grab something" I still didn't react

"What do you need, what do you grab," Liu Shiwu put down a sentence and stopped paying attention to me, a long rope flew out of his hand with a swish,

How can ordinary mountaineering ropes withstand this temperature, and we watched as the birth became soft and hardened in the air and fell

The temperature is getting higher and higher, and there are some signs of melting on the platform, and Liu Dongxi and I glanced at each other, and the other party's eyes were full of horror

"It's going to melt, go find something, get that thing over," I shouted, and ran back, thinking of the long hammer in the hall, the handle of which was iron, and should hold it

Liu Dongxi ran in the other direction, I don't know what to look for, I don't care, he ran towards the hall quickly

The hammer was still there, and it looked longer than I had imagined, and I was overjoyed and reached for it

This hammer looks small, but it is very heavy to hold, although it is not so much that it cannot be lifted, but it is by no means the weight of ordinary steel, I didn't think that much, I ran back with the hammer, and the hammer clanged on the road

Liu arrived a little earlier than me, and I saw that he was holding a large bundle of cables, and I didn't know where it came from

One end of the cable was pulled into a rope sleeve, Liu Shi's hand was thrown out, and the cable accurately lassoed the stone letter and slapped it heavily in the ashes left over by several monks

"Quick Pull"

Maybe the ground is also starting to melt, and the stone letter seems to be stuck to the ground, Liu Shifu shouted to me, I hurriedly went up and grabbed the cable

The skull on the platform gradually sank into the platform, and a little bit of magma rolled down like candle tears, dripping into a trace of spiritual 'medicine' refined on the platform

That 'medicine' must not have been saved, if there is no other reserve here, then Shi Han is our only hope

The front has become blurred, the ultra-high temperature air twisted that piece like another space, my hair burned with a bang, but it was doused by a basin of water from behind, I felt the hot skin and cold water come into contact like a knife, a cruel blow in my heart, and a sudden force on my hands

As soon as the cable was lightly dragged by us, my heart was cold, and the cable was clearly unable to withstand the terrible heat and melted in the middle

A stream of white, dazzling lava erupted from the platform, drowning the stone letter

"Run, wait for death," Liu Shidong yanked me, pulled out his 'legs', and ran backwards

The ground slowly collapsed like molten 'milk' oil, and we ran quickly along the waterhole, and the magma behind us invaded the waterhole, making a violent evaporation sound

The old monk stood at the end of the road and ran violently, unable to see his expression clearly

I didn't think much of it and reached out and pushed him when I got close

"Let's go"

This time, he didn't push the old monk to stand steadily, and said slowly: "Xia Jushi doesn't need to panic, please come with me."

I said in my heart that you have lived for more than a thousand years, and it is enough for us to be young, so why not be frightened

Of course, this was not said, and the old monk turned around and left, and we stopped our heels

The magma behind him is still slowly devouring this devastated thousand-year-old temple, maybe it shouldn't be said that this kind of thing is magma, the temperature is probably dozens of times higher than that of magma, but this thing is also slow, and we have escaped from the heat range just now

The old monk slowly turned the main hall and walked on the road that ran through the whole temple, Lu Yan was already waiting on the road, looked around us, seemed to determine the number of people, turned around and walked side by side with the old monk

Countless blind monks came out of the meditation room and stood by the road, and as we passed, they bowed down one after another

"Aren't they leaving?" I asked, the magma eruption seemed like a big one, and it would be completely ruined here

The old monk didn't stop, tilted his head slightly, and said, "It's just a skin and a belly, or what's the difference between heaven and earth?"

I was speechless for a moment, and turned my eyes to look at the blind monks, who should already know what was happening, and all of them had a peaceful and joyful expression on their faces, and even the silver nails in their eyes were no longer so terrible

The sound of heavy chanting sounded, the sound was clear and pleasant, there was no such high-pitched and hoarse ghost cry, and there was no longer a confession of the description of darkness, a feeling of rebirth was born, like the joy of nirvana

Heavy smoke gathered overhead, like rolling black clouds, and with the praise of countless blind monks, we walked all the way up the road until we reached the mouth of the 'hole'

The temple began to have a fire, and the direction of the main hall had collapsed, and we were shocked to this amazing scene

I suddenly remembered the pot of 'meat' soup in the main hall, and suddenly I had a very strange feeling in my heart, as if the pot of 'meat' soup was drowned in the main hall, which was a destruction of the order of the whole world

"Hey, what about that pot of 'meat' soup," I stretched out my head and asked the old monk

"Oh," the old monk turned his head to look at me with some surprise and some amusement, "it's a pity...... You go and get it."

I shook my head, this answer was unacceptable to me, and it was too off-tune

"Si'an's focus is not on the pot of 'meat' soup, they have already done what they have to do," Lu Yan pointed to the blind monk on the street, "They too"

I didn't fully understand it, and as I understood it, the destruction of the 'meat' soup meant the interruption of the continuation, and although I don't know what the meaning was, it was a bad thing in the end, even if all the circles were destroyed, it could not be repaired or solved

The hall collapsed with a bang, and flames began to rise from the smoke on the very top, and I knew that the wooden structure that supported the entire space had begun to burn, and the destruction here was only in a blink of an eye

The monks' praises were getting louder and louder, and the lava had spread along the streets and alleys, drowning the monks in them

In the face of the changes around them, no monk moved, they just stood and sang, letting the fiery liquid melt them

Burning logs kept falling from the roof, and the houses and monks melted one by one, and I couldn't bear to look at them anymore, so I turned my head quietly

I don't know if they felt pain or joy in the process of being so many monks who had been practicing in this underground Buddhist temple for some reason, and even sacrificed their eyes and bodies to worship the forbidden Buddha statues, but at least now it's all over

"We're not leaving yet," Liu asked something

"Let's go," Lu Yan answered, turned around and got into the smoke in the 'hole'

We followed him in, followed the direction of the smoke, and soon found an exit

The whole mountain was burning, until the opposite side of Liu Dongxi, the cliff of the pit was falling, and white smoke was billowing outward, not far from us had collapsed, and a strong sandalwood fragrance in the air was 'mixed' with the fishy smell of mountain rocks and soil being heated

We went down the hill quickly, and no one said much, and when I saw the brand new sign that said Gega Monastery, I felt a great absurdity, and the old monk just raised his eyes and did not react
