Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Eight Dark Immortals
Wen Zhuo helped Ye to whisper, although he was glad that he was not injured when he was shaken away, now his expression is as grim as mine, I know what he is thinking, it is definitely not an ordinary wooden door that can resist the full force of the thunder shadow, this tower has been blessed by the Dao Law, and it is not an ordinary Dao Law, otherwise there is no reason to be able to shake the Heavenly Realm Divine Soldier.
I frowned and thought thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered the three inconspicuous and vague words engraved on the tower door before I came in.
Tenno Tower.
"What about the Heavenly King, I don't have the White Tiger Linglong Pagoda, and I haven't seen it so powerful." Xiao Lianshan heard me muttering these three words in my mouth, and said disapprovingly. "Is this broken tower really left by some Heavenly King?"
"I came in before and wanted to get the paper, and I didn't pay much attention to this Heavenly King Tower, I'm afraid we came to the wrong place." Wen Zhuo took a deep breath and whispered worriedly.
"Coming to the wrong place? Is there a problem with this tower? Gu Anqi asked puzzled.
"The tower is fine, but we can't afford to provoke the people who protect the Heavenly King Tower, at least I don't have the ability." Wen Zhuo nodded and replied seriously.
"Yes...... Who is protecting the Heavenly King Tower? Ye asked with a blank expression.
I also reacted when I heard Zhuo say this, my brows furrowed deeper, and I replied in a low voice.
"There is a Taoist temple with a pagoda, it must be a disciple of Uranus, suppressing the demons of the ten directions, it seems that Tianji is a Taoist priest who worships Uranus, no wonder he will sit in the third level."
"What does Uranus have to do with this tower?" Yue Qianling asked.
"The Heavenly King of the Li family in the heavenly realm is in charge of the pagoda, and if there is a temple to cultivate and make offerings, he will be blessed by it." Wen Zhuo said without thinking.
"Who the hell is the Heavenly King, I know one of the Heavenly Kings of the Li Family, the King of Tota Li Heavenly Kings." Xiao Lianshan took over and said disapprovingly. "I heard from someone at the entrance of the village before, Nezha's father, I'm right."
"The Heavenly King, that is, Uranus, and the Li Heavenly King family are all the first ancestors of the mixed yuan, and they are the first generation of ancestors who opened the world." I shook my head, and then looked at the turbid sea in front of me and answered seriously. "It seems that what Wen Zhuo said is not wrong at all, this is really the first tower of Xuanmen, and it can keep the sea of turbidity to protect the tower, it can be seen that this tower is protected by the Heavenly King's Law, we are really in the wrong place."
Wen Zhuo and I glanced at each other, maybe others didn't understand our situation now, but he and I knew very well that the Heavenly Machine Cultivator did not practice the Law, but put the Wen Mu on the top of the Heavenly King Tower, we either got the Wen Mu and retreated, or we were trapped in this Heavenly King Tower, this tower door has been closed with the protection of the Li Heavenly King Clan, and even the Heavenly Realm Divine Soldiers forged by Wen Zhuo are difficult to hurt in the slightest, which shows how deep this enchantment is.
But if you want to climb the tower, you must first cross this turbid sea, and since we have entered the six realms of reincarnation as a human being, it is impossible to cross it.
"That'...... That's not right?! "Yue Qianling heard me say this, and thought about it thoughtfully." Just like my dad, don't say it's evil, it's hard to write about what he did, he can climb to the top of Longhu Mountain, which means that my dad has passed here, since you say that it is difficult to cross the sea of turbidity with a little evil in your heart, then you tell me, how did my dad pass? ”
"......" I was dumbfounded by Yue Qianling's question, she also reminded me that Gu Liancheng said that there were a total of five people who finally reached the top of Longhu Mountain, and it may be that the people who crossed the sea of turbidity were either great sages or people who could become immortals, but Yue Thunder didn't seem to have anything to do with these two, since he could get here, there must be a way.
Xiao Lianshan walked to the sea of turbidity, looked at it cautiously for a long time, measured it with his hand a few times, and said seriously.
"As long as you don't get this sewage, it's fine, if that's the case, it's not impossible, I see a lot of scattered wooden blocks in this tower, let's splice it together to build a bridge to the opposite side, this sewage is powerful, it's not too wide, think of a way to get through."
Wen Zhuo didn't speak, picked up a stone from the ground and handed it to Xiao Lianshan, and said casually.
"Try throwing this stone at the hanging ladder on the other side."
The black sewage is actually as Xiao Lianshan said, although we can't step over it in one step, but fortunately it's not very wide, and this tower is only more than 20 meters across the east and west, it is estimated that Xiao Lianshan will say this for this reason.
Seeing Wen Zhuo hand over the stone, he didn't care about taking it and throwing it hard, I guess Xiao Lianshan was probably thinking that no matter how bad he was, he wouldn't be able to throw a stone at a distance of twenty meters, and his confidence only lasted for a moment on his face before disappearing without a trace.
Except for me and Wen Zhuo, everyone else was stunned by the changes in front of them, the stone thrown by Xiao Lianshan crossed the sea of turbidity and flew to the opposite side, but after all, it did not reach the spiral ladder on the opposite side, and the black sewage under the stone was extending with the direction of the stone's flight, how far the stone was thrown out by Xiao Lianshan, how wide the sea of turbidity was, until finally the stone fell down like the end of a strong crossbow, and was instantly swallowed inside.
Then everything went back to the way it had been, and the muddy sewage without the slightest ripple emitted a disgusting stench and stood quietly in front of us.
"For ...... Why is this happening? ”
"This is the Tianwang Tower, and the Taoist temple is called the Immeasurable Temple, we were too careless to notice it, and now it's a little late to react and look at it." I rubbed my forehead and replied weakly. "Whether the merit is immeasurable, the immeasurable longevity is the meaning of infinity, and this turbid sea is the source of all evil, formed by the convergence of evil thoughts and evil deeds in the world, so that the sea of suffering is boundless, we are all ordinary mortals, how can we cross the immeasurable sea of suffering."
Three songs and nine holes, life and death, the reason why there will be three welcome Taoists before coming in is to dissuade them, is that they don't want too many people to disregard their lives, since they insist on the life and death of the front, although I don't regret the current situation, but in the face of the immeasurable sea of suffering, there is more than enough strength and some disappointment, and there is no turning back for more troublesome things, and we can't break this tower and can't get out.
Everyone silently looked at the immeasurable sea of suffering in front of them, and it was estimated that the mood was similar to mine now, and they sat down slowly against the tower pillar for a long time, no one spoke, and a depressed expression was written on everyone's face.
"You kill me!"
"Huh?!"
Wen Zhuo looked at me dumbfounded, and the words I suddenly said made him a little confused, but he quickly reacted to what I meant, and his expression was a little hesitant.
"You...... Do you want to let him out? ”
"Otherwise, what else can be done." I said to Wen Zhuo with a solemn and thoughtful face. "It is estimated that a few of us will not be able to break this Heavenly King Tower, if there is anyone else who can, I don't think I can think of anyone else besides him."
It stands to reason that the person who should stop me the most should be Yue Qianling, but at this moment she didn't speak, I saw her put the candle Jiuyin on her fingertips again, and the ancient artifact of Ding Da opened the fire very obediently, and then Yue Qianling buried her head very low, looking at something intently.
"Come and see what's carved here?"
We looked for prestige, Yue Qianling was also engrossed in looking at a place on the base of the tower with the help of the firelight from Candle Jiuyin, looking very attentive, we all surrounded it, and in the firelight, along the direction of Yue Qianling's finger, a pattern appeared in front of us.
Lotus.
Judging from the engraving, this pattern should be as old as the Tianwang Tower, this tower is not small, and it will never be carved casually, and we have not seen any other patterns, so the only lotus flower is particularly noticeable.
"How can the Heavenly King Tower carve a lotus flower pattern?" Gu Anqi was puzzled and thought about it. "Is there any hint?"
"The lotus, which is called the lotus flower by the Buddhists, is a symbol of holiness and purity, and the lotus is a holy object in Buddhism, so it can be said that the lotus is the symbol of the Buddha." Yue Qianling touched the lotus pattern with her hand and said thoughtfully. "The lotus flower represents the holy thing, when the Buddha was born, there were eight kinds of Ruixiang, the most important of which is the white lotus that suddenly grows in the pond as big as a wheel, when the Buddha was born, a thousand golden rays radiated on the root of his tongue, each golden light turned into a thousand leaves of white lotus, and in each lotus flower sat a little Bodhisattva with crossed feet and feet upward."
"This is the Tianwang Pagoda, it is the Taoist Pagoda, and what you are talking about is also an allusion in Buddhism, and it has nothing to do with Taoism." Xiao Lianshan pursed his lips and shook his head to deny Yue Qianling's statement. "There doesn't seem to be anything related to lotus flowers in Taoism."
"Lotus ......," Wen Zhuo slowly raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly. There are not only lotus flowers in Taoism, but also household names, how can you say that there are no lotus flowers? ”
"Is there one? What is it? Ye asked softly.
"Among the Eight Immortals, He Xiangu is holding a lotus flower in his hand."
"This ...... This is too far-fetched, here to carve a lotus you will say that He Xiangu's, in this case, why carve lotus, it is better to directly carve a pattern of He Xiangu is more convenient. Xiao Lianshan said with some disbelief.
"Lotus...... He Xiangu ......, "I slowly stood up and savored their previous conversation. "Only the lotus flower is not engraved with He Xiangu...... I understand! ”
The corners of Wen Zhuo's mouth also curled, and he stood up and said happily.
"This is the Dark Eight Immortals!"
"We have heard of the Eight Immortals, what are the Dark Eight Immortals?"
"The Dark Eight Immortals can also be called the Eight Treasures of Taoism, because they only use the utensils held by the immortals, and do not directly appear immortals, so they are called the Dark Eight Immortals." Wen Zhuo replied calmly.
Gu Anqi looked up at Wen Zhuo and me blankly, and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Since the lotus flower appears here, it represents He Xiangu...... Shouldn't you be looking for He Xiangu to break the Heavenly King Tower? ”
"Of course not, the dark eight immortals are the meaning, the lotus is the treasure held by He Xiangu, and the lotus is not stained with dust." Wen Zhuo shook the corners of his mouth and explained patiently. "The lotus pattern that appears here is not to ask He Xiangu to help break the tower, but to break the Heavenly King Tower, which should be related to the meaning of the dark eight immortals."
After listening to this, I smiled faintly, and my joy was overflowing, and I said unhurriedly.
"I think I should know how to live through the sea of immeasurable suffering."
