Chapter 6: Blood Hell in the Eight Directions
The tide of blood rushed in front of me, and then the blood suddenly rose in unison, and surrounded me in a circle about fifty centimeters in diameter as if I had been pulled by someone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info I looked up at the blood, strangely so much blood was tumbling, but I didn't smell the slightest smell of blood, even the sound of the water was extremely faint.
The blood water rose up a full five meters away, and then intertwined with each other to form a strange vein, which looked like a word, and a bit like an ancient wine glass placed on the ground, and there was a circle at the top of the wine glass. Just as I was staring blankly, suddenly a hissing sound sounded in my ears, and I instantly thought of the snake, so I looked left and right in some panic.
Soon, more and more snake-like objects appeared in the blood water, and they kept climbing upward, although they were all small snakes, but the sudden appearance of so many still made me feel a little weak. Then the snakes came to the strange vein, and suddenly one by one they desperately burrowed into the circle as if they had received an order, and then they all burst open, and instantly dyed the circle red.
When all the snakes had burst, I suddenly found myself completely unable to move, and could only watch as the circle fell down like a drop of blood, and soon dripped between my eyebrows, and in an instant I felt cold all over.
By the time I was finally able to move my hands and feet, there was no blood around me, a clear sky above me, and even a burst of aroma not far away. I frowned and walked slowly over there, and in front of me was a slightly large, long table with a large number of delicacies, perhaps because of the food, and I suddenly felt hungry.
I suddenly remembered that the tempting dinner made by the female ghost I had met before was actually all kinds of shredded corpses and flesh, so I closed my eyes and said to myself, "Color is emptiness, everything is vain!" After a while, I opened my eyes again, the food in front of me was still there, and the hunger in my stomach was getting stronger.
After a dozen laps around the spot, I gritted my teeth and tore off a chicken leg and gnawed it. Suddenly, a smooth and delicate taste passed through my tongue, and it didn't take much effort for me to solve it, and after waiting for a while, I didn't see any change in myself, so I simply let go of the courage to eat.
After eating, I looked around again, and it was almost a gray world, except for the long table, and there was a door on the other side. Soon I went to the door, opened it with trepidation, and suddenly a burst of aroma came to my nose, and I opened my eyes to see that there were thousands of flowers in front of me, and all from azaleas to plums were competing to exud their fragrance.
There is a small river flowing quietly at the end of the sea of flowers, and if it weren't for the previous experience of several illusions, I would really think that this is a fairyland. Then I walked out of the door, not like the gray side of the door, not only was it full of flowers, but the sun also gently caressed my body, so I couldn't help but feel at ease.
After walking for a while, I found a small open space among the flowers, in which a soft bed was placed, and suddenly a sleepiness hit, I thought about it and then held the attitude of the dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and directly closed my clothes and lay down.
When I woke up, the sun was still shining warmly above my head, and I stretched lazily and walked to the river again. The river water here is crystal clear, the blue water makes people feel refreshed, I held the river water on my face, the cool river water flowed on my face, and then I couldn't help but take a sip, the sweet and refreshing water flowed down my throat and quickly flowed into my stomach.
I closed my eyes and savored it, and then began to recall the events of this period of time: I remember that I entered this strange place because I saw Qingwen again in the movie theater, and then for Ran Ran's safety, I decided to temporarily separate and follow her, and then the inexplicable elevator went to the eighteenth floor of the basement, and then I came to the "Fire Road" full of flowers on the other side.
Could this be what she called the Pure Land of Bliss? The thought crossed my mind for a moment: if that were the case, I could indeed call it a fairyland from the perspective of the environment alone, but I always felt that something was missing.
As I struggled to find an answer, another scent came from behind the door, and though I was tempted to refuse, my footsteps slowly shifted. When the door opened, the long table was filled with fresh food, and although I was puzzled, there was no reason to abuse my stomach. I ate unhurriedly, but even though I ate for a long time, no one appeared!
I seemed to understand all of a sudden: this is indeed a fairyland, but according to Qingwen, the end of the underworld is a fairyland called the Pure Land of Bliss, so to put it bluntly, this is a huge cemetery! And as the only "grave keeper", I am the only living person in this world!
According to this logic, the biggest drawback here is that there is no one! Although everything is beautiful and quiet, but without human interaction, loneliness will be my biggest enemy and friend! I'm afraid this is the test that this illusion has given me!
After thinking about this, I began to think of a countermeasure: maybe the world on the other side of the river is the exit, but it would be quite a challenge for a non-swimmer to wade through this river with no end in sight.
Soon I realized that if I didn't find a way to find it soon, I was afraid that I would not only face loneliness, but also become more and more accustomed to laziness! So I decided to find the end of the river.
As I walked leisurely, I suddenly heard someone behind me calling out to me from time to time, I frowned and continued to walk forward. Gradually, the river began to get narrower, and just as I was overjoyed, a broken road suddenly appeared in front of me!
Looking at the other world on the other side, my anxiety grew heavier and heavier. At that moment, an old woman suddenly appeared beside me, and she kindly asked me why I was so helpless to go around here, so I told her that I wanted to go to the other side, but now I found that there was no way.
So she asked me if the scenery here is not beautiful, and I replied that it was very good, and then she asked me why I didn't stop and enjoy the scenery since it was good.
"Maybe the scenery here is really beautiful, maybe the world on the other side is full of dangers, but I can't convince myself if I want to be beautiful and stop chasing it. I have my own goals, I have people I want to work hard to protect, if even I give up my dreams, then even if others are willing to help me, it is not as sweet as after my own struggle! Although the fairyland is beautiful, it also wears out people's fighting spirit, so even if it is a doomed tragedy, I have to fight it," I said firmly as I stared into my grandmother's eyes.
"Humph! You really don't want to die in the heart of the Yellow River! If you're really prepared, then you can jump over it yourself, and maybe you'll succeed! The old grandmother changed her original kind eyes and responded with a cold gaze.
I slowly fell backwards, then sprinted with all my strength, and leaped to the edge of the break. With the caress of the wind, I jumped high and fell quickly towards the opposite side, and finally I began to fall at a rapid speed within a step of distance from the opposite side.
The sound of the wind whistling in my ears seemed to be playing a funeral song, I closed my eyes and opened my limbs, feeling the touch of the wind passing through my ears, and suddenly the voice of the old grandmother sounded in my ears again: "Are you so afraid of death?" ā
"I'm afraid!" I opened my eyes and saw her firmly answer: "But so what, people are afraid of death, so they have studied many ways to delay the threat of death, and it is not often that people are seriously ill and sentenced to death, but what about later? Isn't there a constant stream of people pushing the limits of death? ā
So even in the face of death, as long as you face it firmly and optimistically, you have the power to create miracles! Therefore, the human heart is the root of all royal roads, so if you can't escape, it's better to face it with a smile, whether it's loneliness or death, it is impossible to break my heart that wants to go to the other side! I responded with a smile.
"Young man, it seems that there is still hope in this world, and this is perhaps the most important reason why you were pulled into this place." The old lady suddenly laughed: "This place is called the Bafang Blood Prison, the place you experienced before is called the Dream Circle, and there is an abyss of sin behind the Blood Prison, and these three places are connected together to form a huge Puzzle Array!" ā
"Huh? That's not right, I seem to have experienced the reincarnation of the world several times in the previous dream maze, why did I come out of this Bafang Blood Prison after only experiencing such a one? I asked, curiously.
"Hehe, this is just one of the Eight Directions Blood Prison! The Bafang Blood Hell is a great array derived from the Bagua Array, how can it be so simple? You've just experienced the simplest loneliness of life, and there are still many tests ahead, but I don't know if it's my delusion, it seems that someone secretly changed the formation, so the route that was originally a dead end was changed to a road with hope for survival. The old lady whispered as she looked at the large patch of green that gradually appeared under our feet.
Before I could ask anything, my body was suddenly lifted by a slightly powerful but gentle force, which slowed down the rapid descent. Then I fell to the ground with a crisp fracture and a heart-rending pain in my left ankle.
I flipped around with great difficulty, and then my eyes moved to my ankle, which was faintly swollen and painful when I moved slightly. Then I observed the illusion around me, where towering trees growing dozens of meters high, with wide leaves densely blocking the sunlight, and occasionally small pieces of sunlight penetrating through the cracks.
I struggled to move to a big tree, leaning against the tree and panting hard, although I hurt my leg now, but I finally left the so-called fairyland full of loneliness.
The occasional unknown birdsong in the woods made me feel a little comforted, so I closed my eyes and slowly relaxed, and soon I fell asleep.
In a trance, I walked on a deep path, to be exact, a very old bluestone road, the shops on both sides are also slightly antique, most of them are closed, occasionally a few are open, but there are almost no people in sight.
When I walked to a certain shop, I suddenly stopped, and when I looked up, there was a plaque hanging on it: Pinyoufang. I walked in, and there were a lot of quaint mirrors, and strangely there didn't seem to be any clerk or boss in the place.
It seems that because of some strange guidance, I didn't linger much to come to the inner room, and went straight to a very quaint triangular cabinet, not only the shape of the cabinet, but also what scared me more was that when I walked to the cabinet, there was no appearance of me in the mirror above, only a young woman with her back to me!
When my hand touched the mirror, the woman suddenly twisted her head completely behind her, and then bit it violently, and suddenly the mirror surface was completely rendered red, and at the same time, the woman's head fell violently! (To be continued.) )
