Chapter 50: The Book of Eternal Life
The Book of Eternal Life?
The witch let out a faint sigh and whispered in some unimaginability: "How could the Immortal Sutra appear in such a place, could it be that even he has fallen?"
"Witch, what is the Sutra of Eternal Life?" Bai Nian asked.
"It's just an exercise, but you must enter this immortal hall!" the witch said in an undeniable tone.
How can a single exercise cause such a big emotion from a witch? And what is the fall she just said, that person seems to have an unusual relationship with her.
"Let's go, Brother Donkey!" Bai Nian had already raised his feet and walked towards the gate of the Immortal Hall when his words fell.
Not to mention that hundreds of people have already entered this immortal hall, but at this moment, it is extremely quiet here, and this immortal hall will definitely not be simple.
Entering the temple, there was only a deep road leading straight ahead, ten meters wide, and high walls on both sides.
This wall should be made of stone, carved with all kinds of demon beasts, there are dragons fighting with Kunpeng in the clouds, there are wings on their backs and Qiqi slaughtering foxes, there are phoenixes and Teng snakes entrenched in the nest biting, there are real Xiaoyue and devouring heaven and earth gluttonous battles, and so on.
The picture of all kinds of fierce beasts fighting is vivid, although some of the water chestnuts have been worn off after years, but they can still realize the ferocity and tyranny from all kinds of monsters.
"What kind of place is this?" Lu Zhanxian asked, judging from the various traces, the history of the existence of this immortal hall may be very long.
Bai Nian shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
I don't know how long it took to walk, but the path that looked like a line of heaven finally came to an end, and the two came to a spacious room.
The temperature plummeted, and I suddenly felt cold since I came here.
"What is this?" asked Lu Zhanxian.
There are more than a dozen stone carvings in this room, all of which are humanoid and vividly depicted, but each stone sculpture has a terrified expression, as if it has seen something extremely terrifying.
"Yes, these are the monks who entered the secret realm with us!" Lu Zhanxian let out an exclamation.
Bai Nian looked at these stone carvings, no wonder he felt that several of them were very familiar, these stone carvings were actually transformed by monks.
"Brother Donkey, be careful, I'm afraid this place is very dangerous. Bai Nian said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, a black mist rose in the gloomy room.
The black mist gradually gathered, and finally formed a fierce beast, with a sheep's body and a human face, tiger teeth and human hands, a row of golden eyes slowly opened from under the armpits, and a huge mouth with exposed fangs under the abdomen.
Gluttony!
Bai Nian and Lu Zhanxian avoided left and right respectively, and the gluttonous blow missed, and the bloody aura brought up rushed to the face, and the violent spiritual power slammed into the two of them.
"This gluttony only has the strength of the late stage of the elixir!" Lu Zhanxian said after a halberd and a confrontation with the gluttony.
"!" Bai Nian roared, and the knife fell.
However, before the gluttony was gone, another burst of black mist rose.
Shaped like a tiger, with hair like thorns, and wings on his back!
The forehead has a single horn, a tiger's head and a human face, and a tail like a fusiform cone!
Four wings and six legs, a round body, and a face without facial features!
"Brother Bai, this is... The Four Murderers of the Ancients!" Lu Zhanxian is golden and prosperous, with eight arms and eight halberds, gold armor and silver crowns, and it is the thousand-handed Shura phase.
"They only have the strength of the late stage of the elixir, but their strength is extremely great, don't touch it hard!" Bai Nian said.
But as soon as Bai Nian finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of an incredible scene, Lu Zhanxian's eight halberds struck, and the gluttonous halberd entangled with him was directly pierced through the body, and the tip of the eight halberds passed through the body, and the gluttony turned into a black mist and dispersed.
"So weak?" Bai Nian was puzzled.
But the next moment, the black mist gathered again, and a gluttonous man slowly condensed and let out a fierce roar.
Things are obviously not as simple as the two of them thought, the strength of these fierce beasts is not very good, but they can't be killed at all.
These four fierce beasts were obviously shrunk, but in this small room, they could only be squeezed down, and Bai Nian and Lu Zhanxian were extremely limited in even dodging.
"Brother Bai, there's a door here!" Lu Zhanxian exclaimed.
Bai Nian's gaze skimmed, a stone door, without any carvings on it, inlaid on the stone wall could not be seen at all.
But deliberately paying attention to this door at this time gives people a sense of quaintness and strangeness.
"There is a way of life and death, and heaven and earth are impermanent" There are only a few of these words on the stone door, and the font is vigorous and powerful.
The inexplicable Dao rhyme came out of the body, and Bai Nian vaguely saw the back of a man, and the white robe was hunting and moving, giving people a sense of extraordinary aura.
He held an unpretentious sword in his hand, and the sword moved and became vigorous, and stone chips flew everywhere.
Like a pen walking a dragon, in one go, the momentum is overwhelming.
But when you feel it carefully, there is an epiphany between life and death.
"Open the door!" Bai Nian yelled at Lu Zhanxian.
The stone door slowly opened, and no one pushed it, as if Bai Nian's words touched some key. The moment the door opened, the four fierce beasts in the room instantly turned into black mist and dispersed, and the surroundings returned to calm.
The two of them glanced at each other, and they both stepped towards the stone door.
Behind the door was a larger room, but it was very strange in this room.
Hundreds of people were in this room, and the scene was very chaotic, but the strange thing was that these people were all still.
As if time had suddenly stood still, these people still retained the expressions and movements of that moment, and in the center of these people lay a red jade coffin.
The coffin glowed with a strange red light, and it was carved with fierce beasts and strange patterns. The lid of the coffin was not opened, and a quaint bamboo slip floated slowly above the coffin.
The bamboo slip had been opened, and the words on it were distorted and ugly, and Bai Nian was sure that he had never seen this kind of writing. But his intuition told him that the three big characters on the frontispiece of the bamboo slip were called the Book of Eternal Life!
Seeing this scene, not only Bai Nian was shaken, but so was the witch, and Lu Zhanxian didn't seem to be anything unusual.
"The Immortal Sutra! How could such a thing appear here!"
"That's it, you're still falling! Immortal, where did you come from immortal and immortal!"
"At the head of the catastrophe, after all, life and death are fate, and heaven and earth are impermanent!"
The witch sighed a few times.
"What's wrong?" Bai Nian asked puzzled.
"This Sutra of Eternal Life belongs to an old friend of mine, and now seeing this Sutra of Immortality appear in such a place, it means that he has fallen, and this is the place of his inheritance. Knowing that he was confused, the witch explained.
The witch's old friend?What kind of character should that be?The legacy he left behind must be extraordinary,Bai Nian took a breath of relief.
"Brother Bai, what should I do?" Lu Zhanxian asked, he looked around and found that all the people were going around this Immortal Sutra, but there was obviously a huge crisis hidden here.
"Learn the scriptures!" Bai Nian rose and grabbed at the bamboo slip floating in the air, and the witch had already told him that there was no danger.
Lu Zhanxian was stunned in place, looking at Bai Nian dumbfounded, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Why is he more reckless than me, doesn't he know that there is danger?"
However, when Bai Nian landed safely and grabbed the bamboo slip in his hand, Lu Zhanxian was completely convinced.
But before the two could speak, the red jade coffin suddenly vibrate, the red light was so bright that the coffin lid seemed to melt, and a black claw was exposed directly through the coffin lid, and the coffin lid was not broken in the slightest.
Before the two of them could recover their senses, a shriveled human body crawled out of the coffin. His face was rotten, his whole body as dry as a dehydrated corpse, and loose strips of cloth were haphazardly tied to his body.
The man who crawled out of the coffin opened his dark green eyes, and an eerie green light reflected in the eyes of the two of them.
Bai Nian and Lu Zhanxian suddenly found that they couldn't move at this moment, and the bamboo slip in their hands trembled faintly, and they wanted to get rid of it.
"Witch, didn't you say there was no danger?" Bai Nian asked anxiously.
"Settle, it's just a puppet. The witch responded.
Bai Nian didn't know what the witch had done, and his mind uncontrollably turned into a sharp blade and rushed towards the puppet's corpse.
This mental attack obviously dealt a heavy blow to the puppet, only to see him let out a terrible roar, stretching out his claws and rushing towards Bai Nian.
The red broken spirit pill in the center separated a trace of blood spirit and turned into the other nine spirit pills, and the blood spirit in the whole body boiled inexplicably, and Bai Nian trembled and found that he was already able to move his body.
Bai Nian looked at the puppet that pounced, his figure flashed, and the scimitar in his hand was slashed. The knife slashed through the puppet's body, but it did no damage at all, and the puppet's attack was not hindered in the slightest.
And the puppet grabbed Bai Nian's chest with one claw, and the three sharp marks broke through the flesh and blood, and the ferocious force directly lifted Bai Nian out.
Unbeatable, Bai Nian suddenly had this thought.
He retreated to other places, Lu Zhanxian was by his side, he didn't want to fight when it affected Lu Zhanxian.
And this puppet was obviously enraged by Bai Nian, and chased after Bai Nian.
"Witch ......" Bai Nian shouted at the witch, this puppet is invulnerable, Bai Nian has no way to take him.
And the power of this puppet's casual blow is completely beyond his ability to block, Bai Nian can only dodge left and right, fortunately, this puppet's intelligence is not high, and he can only attack mechanically without skills.
After a dodge, Bai Nian was discouraged and embarrassed.
"Witch!!" Bai Nian appealed again.
"Don't scream! you can't beat him, this thing has extraordinary strength, you elixir should run for your life!" the witch said curtly.
"Your sister! Just now you said that there was no danger before I dared to break the scriptures, and now that this guy has come out, you told me to run away? The donkey is still there, I want to save him!" Bai Nian dodged a puppet's pounce and said angrily.
"It's really boring, and it's not quiet to remember the past!"
Reminiscing about the past?nm! Master, I'm here to fight and die, dare to love you, this girl is actually reminiscing about the past! I'm not your apprentice anymore!
Bai Nian sprayed the witch wildly in his heart, and he was so angry that he vomited blood.
"Well, isn't that still dead?" said the witch with a smirk.
A flash of red light flew out of the ruby ring, and this illusory faint red light actually circled around the puppet's body like a ribbon.
Then with a "bang", the puppet fell directly to the ground, the green light in its eyes disappeared, and its limbs gradually returned to calm.
And the moment the puppet fell to the ground, the surrounding space seemed to have a layer of spiritual fluctuations scattered like a tide.
Those who stood still recovered, but they remained in the moment before they were still. Because their next actions were still fighting for each other, they didn't seem to realize that the Immortal Sutra had fallen into Bai Nian's hands.
"Brother Donkey, come here!" Bai Nian said to Lu Zhanxian.
Lu Zhanxian also understood at this moment and stood with Bai Nian.
"What's going on?, what about the Immortal Sutra?" roared one of the people closest to the ruby coffin.
"Don't pretend to be garlic, it's obvious that you stole the Immortal Sutra, hurry up and hand it over!" said another.
"He snatched the Immortal Sutra! him!" everyone looked at the person closest to the red jade coffin, ready to move.
"It's not me, I didn't take the Immortal Sutra!" the man said eagerly, he looked at the other person and roared, "It's you, you must have taken the Immortal Sutra!"
The scene immediately became chaotic again, Bai Nian had already put away the Immortal Sutra and did not let the others find out.
"Brother Donkey, it's time for us to slip away!" Bai Nian blinked and whispered.
Lu Zhanxian looked at him strangely, and whispered in his mouth, "What about the Immortal Sutra?"
Bai Nian leaned into his ear and said, "What about me?"
"What?" Although he had already guessed, Lu Zhanxian still couldn't believe it after being confirmed by Bai Nian.
The two of them walked towards the way they came, but the door that had been opened when they came was nowhere to be found, and there was not a single dent on all sides of the stone walls.
"Where's the door?" Lu Zhanxian asked anxiously.
