Chapter Twenty-Three: The Three Stones
We didn't look back to know who would be behind us, so we looked at each other sadly, and then I said loudly: "Don't pretend to be a ghost anymore, just say what you want to do, let's go comfortably!" ā
"Haha, bloody enough, if it weren't for the different positions, we might be able to sit down and have a good chat over a few jugs of wine. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The voice behind him is getting closer and closer: "Say, what other wishes do you have, maybe I can help you fulfill them?" ā
"My greatest wish is for you to die!" Wang Xu gritted his teeth and said, then turned around sharply: "Leave me alone, you go!" After speaking, an earthy yellow air mass emerged from him, and we instantly enveloped us, and flew forward quickly.
However, the reality is far more cruel than the novel, we just flew for two or three seconds before stopping, and then Wang Xu fell in front of us with bruises, and behind him was a joking voice: "Human beings are really self-defeating creatures, knowing that they can't be defeated but still have to carry it, it's interesting." ā
"Because we have feelings, unlike you who are ruthless, although you have power, but are you really happy? Do you have friends, lovers, or family? You're just a lone power freak! I turned to the monster and said coldly.
"Hehe, what's the point of those? What can bring me, but I can have what I want when I have the strength. That's why I'll just say that you stupid humans are all poor creatures after all, and what can your so-called feelings give you? Don't you say true love is invincible? Then you're invincible and show me, okay, hahaha! The more the monster spoke, the more excited he became.
I felt a little sad in my heart, and it was true that at a critical time, the emotions that we have always been proud of did not bring us any substantial breakthroughs. Then I cheered myself up again, if I gave up emotions because of this, then the history of human progress is estimated to have been rewritten long ago, maybe emotions will not play much role for a period of time, but as long as that will is passed on, there will always be a moment of clear clouds.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt full of inexhaustible energy, and then the monster seemed to be a little surprised and asked, "Huh? How do you feel like you're suddenly different? Is this the benefit of what you call an emotional group? It's amazing, but it doesn't matter, I'll fulfill you and let your hopes be shattered now. ā
Just as the monster made a gesture of rushing over, suddenly a silver spear pierced through its heart, and wisps of black gas slowly drifted out of that place. "It's you who have lost hope!" Ziyun's voice suddenly appeared behind it.
"How is that possible? Aren't you dead? The monster asked the question in my mind.
"Hehe, in fact, I am indeed dead, but you forgot that I am a ghost gatekeeper! As the last pass of the Iron Ridge of the Underworld, do you really think that we don't know about the Ghost Dao? In fact, we have been prepared for a long time, since Wang Xu was expelled, we have been arranging, and we also know that it is not all of your Yuan Shen who is now in charge, but it is estimated that it is already more than half, how much arrogance do you have now, cute little snake? Ziyun's tone of voice gradually slowed down.
"Big brother, I hurt you and the third brother!" Suddenly, on the back of the monster, the figure of the previous ghost general with a long knife appeared.
"This is a doomed catastrophe, but as long as you have hope, you will not be swallowed up by darkness!" Ziyun's words were faintly meaningful, and then he slowly walked around the monster's back, and at this moment, he was covered in blue light, and the whole person gradually dissipated: "Remember that even if the darkness lasts for a long time, the dawn will come after all!" So don't lose faith! ā
I always felt as if he was saying this to me, but I was soon drawn to the scene in front of me: I saw that the original monster in front of me was divided into two parts, one was the second child who was also shining blue and gradually drifting away; The other part slowly prostrate on the ground and turned into a giant blue serpent, which then shrunk and slowly turned into a blue bead.
Su Liu and I walked over slowly, and then woke up after hearing Wang Xu on the side let out a moan, and he quietly watched the two of us slowly approach the bead. Suddenly, a cyan shadow appeared inside the bead, Wang Xu's eyes lit up and he screamed, and then turned into a white shadow and wrapped around the bead.
The white shadow slowly seeped into the beads and wrestled with the green shadow, somehow a whirlwind blew in front of us and the beads. Finally, after the wind stopped, I saw Wang Xu appear in front of us with a man in green clothes, and then he nodded at me with a smile, I suddenly remembered that this face had been seen once, it was the person summoned by Wang Modao when he dealt with the Qingzhu monks!
"I think you should have resolved the hidden danger it left in your body, otherwise its plan would have succeeded today, although it still wants to use the Hundred Ghost Sacrifice to control you, but you inadvertently dissolved it, maybe all this is the will of heaven in the dark. Okay, I have also fulfilled my promise to Wang Gaoren, and this Yuan Dan is the only compensation I can give you. He smiled and beckoned to me.
Su Liu seemed to be slightly stunned, and then quickly reacted, and then she gently pushed me: "I didn't expect that brother, you also have a lot of secrets, you have to have a chance to tell me." Then, now hurry up, I will have one last word with Brother Wang Xu. After speaking, she beckoned to Wang Xu, and the two quickly walked to the other side.
I was a little dazed and came back to my senses, then I walked over to the bead and bent down to pick it up, and before I could take a closer look, the bead floated to my chest on its own, and then slowly submerged into my body. Immediately afterwards, a cool breath spread in my heart, and it didn't take long for me to feel extra refreshed, and the strength in my hands seemed to be significantly stronger.
Just when I closed my eyes and reminisced, a hand suddenly slapped on my shoulder, although the strength was not great, it still made my heart beat faster, I turned around and saw Su Liu wink at me mischievously and said: "Okay, let's go, I didn't expect you to become the biggest winner this time, we have to hurry up and hurry back, we wasted a lot of time before, if we can't find the reincarnation path before the rooster crows, we will have to wait a long time before we can return to the human world!" ā
"Huh? No, I think I've been in for a long time, right? I asked, a little confused.
"Oh, that's normal, the so-called 100-year-old sedum in the world for a day! The speed of time flow between the spirit world and the human world is not the same, the usual ratio is that the human world is one day and the spirit world is almost a year, according to the time after I came in, we almost have more than a month of spiritual time to use, and after a month, we must step on the path of reincarnation and go back, otherwise we will have to wait for another year to go back! Su Liu patiently explained to me.
After listening to her explanation, it dawned on me, and then the two of us quickly left the ghost gate. To say that the scenery here is relatively monotonous, either a blood red or gray mist, except for a little flower and grass next to the Wangxiang Terrace, there is nothing to see in other places along the way.
After walking for about five days, there was a turn in front of me, and I was just about to take a step forward, but Su Liu quietly grabbed me and said to me: "Hey, there is a famous spot in the underworld ahead, I believe you must have heard of it, but I want to comfort you, don't keep staring, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" ā
With some curiosity, I followed her to a wide river. Looking at the yellow, orange and orange river, I instantly thought of a term: yellow spring. When I blurted out, Su Liu just nodded and prepared to leave. At this time, I inadvertently glanced at the yellow spring water, and suddenly found that the originally dim river water slowly became clear, and finally it was as clear as a piece of glass.
Gradually, a black shadow appeared on the smooth and translucent river, slowly rising up and slowly changing into a human form. When the face of the human figure became clearer and clearer, my heart couldn't help but get excited, and then I walked over slowly with some difficulty in my heart, and my mouth kept shouting: "Xiaoya! Is that you? Did you come back to see me? ā
Just as I was about to make contact with that figure, four whirlwinds suddenly appeared in front of me, and then four voices came into my ears in unison: "Master! What's wrong with you, wake up, Jiuyou Huangquan is the famous head of the three major illusions of heaven and earth, why did you fall for it inexplicably? Well? How did you come to the Yellow Spring, but you didn't die? ā
In an instant I came to my senses, and then I found myself somehow walking to the Yellow Spring, almost stepping into the river. It was only at this time that I heard Su Liu's shout from far and near: "Brother! Why don't you listen to persuasion, don't you be curious, did you see the person you miss the most appear? ā
I nodded and then looked back again, Su Liu said very anxiously: "You still watch!" Don't die, hurry up! Do you think there is only one ghost gate in the Iron Ridge of the Underworld? I smiled and walked over.
"You must be curious why Huangquan can know what you miss in your heart, and then it is really reflected on the surface of the river?" Su Liu's words aroused my agreement, so I nodded seriously.
"Actually, it's normal, there is a bizarre stone on the edge of the Yellow Spring, you should know, Sansheng Stone! These three life stones can clearly record all the past in your three lives. Of course, the reason why Huangquan was able to conjure those people was not only because of the Sansheng Stone, but also because of its production, it was formed by mixing part of the brain pulp in the brain of the great god Pangu of the creation back then, mixed with the aura of heaven and earth, so it was born with hallucinogenic effects. Su Liu's words made me a little dumbfounded, and then I was pulled by her in a daze and continued to walk.
After walking for a while, we came to a strange stone. It was a stone that was only half a man tall, and its red color seemed to be stronger than blood, and it was shaped like a heart, but it was slightly in the shape of a hand on either side. There was a slight liquid-like substance flowing slowly inside the stone, and occasionally a slight glimmer of light appeared.
The bottom of the stone is submerged into the unfathomable Yellow Spring Pool, and it seems that there is something to hold it underneath, "Aren't you a little curious, how did this stone float on this Yellow Spring Water?" In fact, the Sansheng Stone is not one, and the real Sansheng Stone is composed of two stones. The one that floats on the surface of the river is called the Past Life Stone, and the other one that sinks under the surface of the river is called the Afterlife Stone. ā
According to legend, these three life stones are not owned by heaven and earth, but caused by the love of a pair of destined bitter people who will not give up for three lifetimes. They were originally destined to be inseparable, if they forcibly combined, it would cause the catastrophe of the surrounding heaven and earth, and when the two of them finally faced the Buddha, they would rather give up all the cultivation in the previous life and all the blessings in the next life, and jumped into the Huangquan River together. ā
"After that, this stone suddenly appeared here, and even the Buddha has not been able to remove it." Su Liu said with a look of fascination on his face, looking at the stone quietly.
I looked at the stone for a while, and quickly turned my attention to the crowd next to the stone. There were nine long dragons lined up, each with various expressions of excitement, anticipation or sadness, and several unusually tall ghosts at the front would guide some of the people in front to form a circle around the Sansheng Stone.
After a while, the people touched their hands on the stone, and each lowered their heads slightly, and after a while, after a burst of strange light, they all left tears in their eyes, and each muttered something.
"This is a spectacle in the spiritual world, only kind-hearted people who still have concerns in their hearts can enjoy this benefit before crossing the Nai He Bridge, and they can use this to watch their past lives, so many people are willing to wait for years to see the concerns in their hearts again, and some have even waited for nearly a hundred years! I think the donor seems to be due to this, do you want to see the old dream? Suddenly, a slightly older voice rang out beside me. (To be continued.) )
