Zheng Pei helped Granny Ye to sit under a big tree and leaned against the trunk. www.biquge.info Under the night breeze in the early morning, he felt that Granny Ye's hands were cold, so he hurriedly found some branches and lit a bonfire with cultivation, so that Granny Ye had a trace of warmth. At the same time, the lively and jumping flames and the crackling sound of burning wood also gave him a little peace of mind in this wilderness.

Granny Ye let out a long sigh, her gaze passed through the galaxy in the night sky, and wandered into the unknown distance. The faces of life and death, the entanglement of grievances and grievances and the heart-wrenching feeling in the memory have been years ago, but when Granny Ye opened this memory again, the thick dust and cobwebs that they broke through continued to reappear clearly in front of Granny Ye's eyes, regaining the heart of this lonely old man who had been locked up.

"Child, the cause and effect of many things are already predestined. My mother-in-law used to think that making the right choice and putting in hard work could change her fate. Granny Ye smiled helplessly, "As a result, I still can't escape this fate and fate." ”

Zheng Pei used a long branch to stir the bonfire and added a few more pieces of firewood. He listened to Granny Ye's sad tone, and his eyes stared at the dancing flames. Zheng Pei sighed lightly, not knowing that his fate was as lonely as he expected now.

Granny Ye smiled slightly and said, "Child, my master and the previous generation of sect masters have told me a story. Now, I'm going to tell you this story as well. You can also tell your apprentice or someone else you can trust in the future, but the mother-in-law really hopes that this will just be passed down as a story. Granny Ye let out a sigh, and her voice suddenly became slow, with a sense of heaviness that was unique to history: "A long, long time ago, when it was still ancient times, there was a general who fought in all directions for his king, conquered everything, and defeated many powerful enemies. But he is upright, strict in military discipline, and good in protecting the people, so the common people worship him and call him a victorious general. ”

But his king gradually heard the slander of many villains, saying that the general was proud of his merits and wanted to support his army and establish himself as king. And this was the king's greatest concern for a long time. He used a stratagem to trick General Chang Sheng back to the capital, demoted him to a prisoner, and put him in a prison, waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded. His loyal subordinates mutinied and immediately attacked the capital to rescue the general. ”

The king took this mutiny as evidence that the general wanted to establish himself as king, and he mobilized his troops and horses from all over the place to surround the general's men. Although the general's soldiers fought valiantly, they were all slaughtered outside the walls of the capital when they ran out of food and grass and were betrayed by traitors. ”

The general listened to the fading shouts of murder in the prison, and was overwhelmed with grief. But his old friend bribed the prison guards, took advantage of the chaos to release the general from the other gate, and has been protecting the new army he has re-established, and has regained its greater power. ”

But the once bold and upright general has since become cold and suspicious. He kept attacking the king's city and started a real rebellion. Every time he conquered a city, he killed all the captive defenders and civilians who were unwilling to surrender, and left his men to plunder and burn them. More and more bandits and rogues joined the general's troops, and more and more civilians died at the hands of the general. He will burn all the king's cities, kill all his subjects, and finally capture and torture the king to death. The king hurriedly mobilized all his troops to fight against the general, and for a time the wolf smoke was everywhere, and the people were in dire straits. ”

"The battle was fought in the dark, and the sun and the moon were gone. The general used extreme tactics and brutal combat power to flatten the defense line of the counterinsurgency, and he frantically used his sword to personally cut off the heads of hundreds of enemy generals, and his sword was completely soaked in the blood of the enemy defenders and innocent people in the subsequent war. At this time, this sharp treasure knife has absorbed too much resentment and fear and died of soul, the blade is always sharp, and the blade is attached to the flames, turning into a real demon knife, controlling the general to carry out more brutal slaughter. ”

"Just when the general's army was already in the king's capital, one of the king's concubines, in order to save her lover's country, could not bear to be slaughtered in the end, and prayed for the protection of the heavens. At this time, a Heavenly Master who had just cultivated out of the customs passed through here, and sneaked into the general's tent alone to fight with the demon sword in his hand, and finally the demon general was defeated under the sword of the Heavenly Master, and his soul was also sucked into the demon knife. The heavenly master sealed the demon knife, handed it over to a monk who attained the Tao, and held it under the bronze bell, and was shocked by the sound of the bell every day. At this time, the repentant king who lost his beloved concubine personally led the defenders of the city to fight to the death against the general's troops, and finally defeated the monkeys without the big trees. Since then, although there has been no battle in the world, there is no prosperity anymore, and all industries have withered. ”

"When the monk saw that the people's livelihood was bleak and demons were rampant, he sent an enlightened disciple down the mountain to overcome the souls of all over the world. Seeing the tragic situation of the people everywhere seeking survival, this high-ranking disciple was full of sorrow in his heart. Running around sleeplessly, trying to let the souls who died tragically in the war ascend to the Pure Land of Bliss as soon as possible. However, there are some unjust ghosts who have cultivated the path of demons, and they cannot be ascended by this master disciple with a single passage of scriptures. There are so many unjust souls, and the master can't stay in one place for too long, but he can't let those unjust souls go alone. With the spirit of sacrificing his life, he let those unjust ghosts turn into maggots, parasitic in his own flesh and blood, and on the way he was running around, he meditated and exceeded, and used his Buddha nature to increase the degree of influence of these maggots. ”

At first, this master disciple was able to control the maggots on his body, but as he sensed it around, more and more maggots were taken in by him. This master disciple has exhausted his life's cultivation, and he can't surpass all the maggots on his body. He ran to the famous monasteries along the way to ask for help, but those selfish monks only wanted to cultivate themselves and become Buddhas, and they refused to waste their cultivation to help this poor man. He returned in a daze, his body covered in pus and blood from the maggots eating at his body. When the common people saw that he was terrible, and he was no longer the enlightened disciple who was shining with the Buddha's light before, they refused to give him even the stinky porridge and water, and even drove him out of the village together. Eventually, the master finally collapsed in a wilderness full of corpses. ”

"He was full of doubts about what he had done, and his vague consciousness was finally defeated by the assimilation of many maggots in his body, and he was finally controlled by his expanding demons, imprisoning the only remaining humanity in his heart in the depths of his mind, and his body full of maggots turned into a fierce spirit that eats human flesh and blood, called Gluttony."

"He is three meters long, with arms and feet, a wide mouth and ears, and a body full of poisonous oil, running like a wild elephant. It digs up all the bones that have been buried in the ground on the battlefield and eats them. When all the corpses were eaten, it rushed into the village and ate all the people in the village. ”

"Many villagers have banded together to fight it, but no knife or axe can cut through its maggot-covered skin. The fire burned, and the gluttony was fine, but the poisonous smoke that came out of the burning of the corpse oil on its body smoked everyone present to death. ”

"The Celestial Master sensed the signs of gourmet, and rushed to fight it for three days and three nights, and finally subdued it. At this time, the imprisoned humanity of the Gaotu was finally released. He told the Celestial Master that his body had been impregnated with demonic ghosts, and that if he was completely killed, these demonic ghosts would re-enter reincarnation, and there was a possibility that they would re-enter the demons in the future and endanger the world. He is willing to live forever in the body of these ghosts, and no longer reincarnate, in order to atone for the karmic results created by his weak mind. At the same time, you can also do your best to save the world and keep one side calm. ”

"The Heavenly Master followed the advice of the high disciple and condensed all the courage accumulated by the high disciple, the spirit and the maggot on the body of the spirit into a magic bead, named the Nine Spirit Beads, and was scheduled to release the soul once every ten years. The Heavenly Master handed over the Nine Spirit Beads to future generations for careful safekeeping to avoid being used by the wicked to bring disaster to the world. Since then, all sects and people in the rivers and lakes have been searching for the whereabouts of the Nine Spirit Beads, even the Five Poisons Sect. People's greed is infinitely magnified, and everyone wants to find the Nine Soul Beads to have an innocuous body. Therefore, as long as there is any clue to the Nine Soul Beads, there will be a large number of people fighting to the death for it. But even now, I have never heard of anyone who has found the Nine Soul Beads, or who has used the Nine Spirit Beads to practice the body without harm. The Nine Spirits Bead disappeared, and its story became a fascinating legend. ”

Granny Ye smiled: "You stupid child, if you want to say that there is anything in this world that can release such a powerful force as you see, then there is nothing else except the Nine Spirit Beads." ”

Zheng Pei was dumbfounded when he heard this, his mouth open, but he couldn't even say a word.

Granny Ye sighed lightly and continued: "Child, mother-in-law is old, and she doesn't want to do anything. But since you are destined to discover this eternal secret, then the mother-in-law cannot delay you. It's just that you have to think about whether this thing is a blessing or a curse, and you must think about it before making a decision. Otherwise, not only will the Nine Spirit Beads not allow you to have an innocuous body, but I am afraid that you will have to take away many people around you, or many precious things. ”

Zheng Pei nodded solemnly to Granny Ye. He stood up and moved his hands and feet, and saw the black horizon in the east, and the dazzling light of dawn had begun to illuminate the whole land.
