Chapter 564: Cage
I knew in my heart that something was wrong with this place. The fog silently trapped us. No matter how much you try to swallow it, it won't work. But once people are at a critical juncture of life and death, even a straw does not want to let go.
I sat up straight right away. I began to follow the method that Mr. Lu taught me. I was spitting and beating the drum in my heart. If I take advantage of this time and stumble out and take two steps, I might be able to get out. If it doesn't work, and I delay the time, it's too late to regret it.
My body shook and I wanted to get up and run away. But I quickly sat down again. If this place is so easy to escape, then there are ghosts. It was so easy for this man to get these strange fogs and put up obstacles such as ghosts hitting walls, and we were blind now, so it was strange that we could escape.
Thinking of this, I sat down again. My body was steady, though. But his mind is very confused.
I kept asking myself, "Who made all this stuff?" Is it a little old man? Before he came in. Gathered a large amount of yin qi, just to not inhale these white mist? ”
Immediately after that, I denied my idea. After all, ghosts are not like people, they don't need to breathe. So who's doing all this fog? Is it Mr. Lu's master?
But I have already entered the Daomen, and I am considered his disciple, so why should he harm me?
I thought about it over and over again, and I didn't come up with a clue for a long time. However, I suddenly realized that I don't know when my breathing was free.
I tried to lift my clothes. Discover the light outside. My heart rejoices, is it dawn now?
I ripped my clothes off. I was stunned by the sight around me.
It wasn't dawn. The brightness around is peculiar, a little brighter than at night and a little darker than during the day. I have a feeling that I am in the middle of yin and yang.
I looked down at my feet and was startled. I realized that there was no ground underneath me. Rather, thin clouds. My body was suspended in the air.
I closed my eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth: "It's just a trick, and it's a trick." How can a human body float above a cloud out of thin air? It's just an illusion. ”
If it had been before, I would have been amazed. I was scared to death. But now it's different, after all I've gone through so many things, I still have this concentration.
I opened my eyes and jumped in mid-air. This is nothing more than a deliberate display of leisure. It's also cheering myself up. But visually, I was indeed in the air, and I couldn't help but be a little frightened.
I let out a long sigh of relief, and then began to take a closer look around.
Since this man has led me into the illusion, he definitely has some purpose, not just to trap me in this place.
I looked around and saw that there were steps behind me, and this step was so high that I didn't know where it led.
I walked slowly and then one step at a time. After a short time, the stairs came to an end. I noticed a very tall gate appear in front of me. As I stood in front of this door, I felt so small, like an ant.
There are two stone carvings on either side of the gate. The two stone sculptures, as tall as the gates, were glaring down with contempt in their expressions. It seems that the people who come here are nothing more than ants, and they can only arouse curious glances.
I walked up and slowly pushed the door. The gate was very high, very large, but my hand touched it, and it felt so light that it didn't seem to weigh much.
I pushed the door open a crack, and I saw a huge world behind it. The world is very big and empty, except for the floating white clouds, there is only one large hall.
The main hall was originally extremely majestic, but in this world, it was a little small.
I sighed and walked slowly. When I walked to the entrance of the main hall, I saw a plaque hanging on it, with four words written on it: Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
I couldn't help but laugh: "Lingxiao Treasure Palace, is this the Heavenly Palace?" ”
At this time, a gloomy voice came from inside the hall: "Who is making noise outside?" ”
I froze for a moment, then lifted my legs and walked in.
The inside of the hall is full of jewels and splendor, no different from the fairyland I imagined.
I saw a man sitting on a throne not far ahead. This person was wearing a Taoist robe and seemed to be a Taoist priest. However, looking at his pomp, it is clear that he is enjoying the treatment of the Jade Emperor.
I thought to myself: this is outrageous.
When the Taoist priest saw me enter the hall, he smiled and said, "You just used the Taoist method of spitting, it seems that you are a Taoist priest?" ”
I nodded and said, "It's a Taoist priest." Entering the Daomen, less than half a year. As I said this, I thought to myself, this man knows that I have just used the Taoist method of breathing, could it be that he has been observing us?
I said, "Are you the master here?" Why did you lead me to this illusion? ”
The Taoist priest smiled, "This is not an illusion. Little Taoist, this is the Heavenly Palace, the fairy world that all the people in the Dao Sect dream of. ”
I saw that the Taoist priest didn't seem to have any hostility towards me, and I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I can't imagine that I will become an immortal in less than half a year after entering the Taoist Sect, what does this make those who have been practicing penance for several lifetimes think?" I'm so worried I'm going to them off. ”
The Taoist priest was not angry at my banter. Instead, he smiled and said, "Little Taoist, how do you know that you are not a person who has been cultivating for several lifetimes?" How do you know that what you have today is not the cause and effect accumulated in previous lifetimes? ”
The Taoist priest said these words slowly, and I was stunned for a moment. I rubbed my head and thought to myself: logically, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that.
The Taoist priest waved his hand, and a mirror suddenly appeared in front of me, and I looked inside. It was found that a lame man appeared in the mirror, walking in the middle of the city. His clothes were in tatters, his body was dirty, and many scoundrels threw debris at him, and kicked him from time to time. However, the lame man was unmoved, and just slowly left.
The Taoist priest waved his hand again. This time I saw a thin man, hungry with skin and bones. He was surrounded by hunger, and flies swirled around him in swarms. The eyes of the remaining living were full of hunger, and whatever they saw, it was as if they had seen food. Only this thin man walked into the distance step by step. The steps didn't change at all.
The Taoist priest put away the mirror with a smile and said, "This is just your first two lives, in fact, you have been practicing for I don't know how many lives. The identity of each life is different, but you are determined to be determined, and in the end, you are all included in my Dao Gate. ”
He waved his hand, as if to take this heaven and earth into his arms: "There are many ways to become immortals in the world, there are Buddhas and Taos, whether it is a Buddha or a Tao, as long as you practice seriously, you will all end up on the same path." However, there are really not many people who can cultivate, and there are even fewer people like you who are determined to finally come here. ”
He suddenly pointed to the darkness next to him and said, "Where is your seat, go ahead." ”
I looked at the darkness and suddenly I realized that something was wrong with the hall. It's very bright and bright, but in some places, it's pitch black, as if the light can't get there. |.
I pointed to the darkness and asked, "What is in that darkness?" ”
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "You go over and take a look, don't you know?" ”
Then he shoved me, and I staggered and walked into the darkness. I reached out and touched it. I touched something cold, the thickness of a thumb, like an iron rod. I touched it again, and it was another iron bar.
A sense of foreboding rose in my mind: Is it just a cage?
I took a step to the side and reached out to touch it. This time, it was empty. Then, I felt someone kick me in the ass, and as soon as I stumbled, I bumped into something. Then I heard a noise behind me.
Then the main hall was completely lit up, illuminating all the darkness.
I saw the Taoist priest looking at me triumphantly. I was locked in a big iron cage. I just felt empty, probably touching the open iron cage door
