Chapter 68: The Ancient Stone Temple
In the dark quiet room, as his thoughts turned, Meng Qi's body became deeper and deeper, like a moonless and starless night sky.
He had quietly run one or two seals of Wuji and Dao, blinding the heavens and cause and effect, and a shadow that was imperceptible to the outside world was highlighted on the side, which was the shrunken bones of Huangquan, the bone spurs were hideous, and the blood was yellow and the mist was filthy.
At this time, Meng Qi was distracted, flew out of a chaotic light, fell into the skeleton, let it breed bloody flesh and hair, and turned into an old man in a brocade robe, with black hair, only two temples white, and unusually ordinary facial features, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a rippling vitality in the depths of the black eyes, and the white is planted with the black of dead silence and coldness, and the black also hides the previous white.
As soon as the figure appeared, it immediately disappeared into the deep darkness of the quiet room, and disappeared.
Since it is necessary to "repair the plank road in the bright and Chen Cang in the dark" Hide from the sky and cross the sea, then you have to do the same as the real thing, Mingli helped the master to improve the Pure Land, and he couldn't be idle in the dark, so he could carry out things related to the Netherworld in a very secret way, just with the help of Huangquan's bones, through the secret passage provided by Senior Brother Qi, sneak into the Nine Shadows, investigate the whereabouts of Huangquan's reincarnation, so as to collect more secrets of the origin of life and death, and prepare for the future exploration with Emperor Xudu, so as not to be pitted by him, and in the eyes of outsiders, tracing the whereabouts of Huangquan's reincarnation is obviously intended to be in the Netherworld, which is also a cover for his actual purpose。
In this way, the great supernatural powers who have always paid attention to and doubted themselves will only say "As expected", "Sure enough", "Su Meng is really in the Ming Plank Road".
At this point, they will ignore the "petty fight" master, and other strong people who have not doubted and paid attention to it from the beginning are even less likely to set their eyes on this natural thing.
As for the big people on the other side, if there is the Qing Emperor or even the Yuan Shi Tianzun to cover it, there should be a lot of hope to hide it.
As the bones of Huangquan, which held part of Meng Qi's consciousness, disappeared, the quiet room was completely silent, like the peace of heaven and earth at the beginning.
............
The plains are vast and vast. At a glance, there is no edge in sight, there is an ancient and desolate feeling, and the ground is dark red, as if it has been infected by the flesh and blood accumulated over thousands of years, rippling with obvious bloody hideousness and murderous cruelty.
A black sun floats silently in the sky, swaying a gloomy and scorching light, making the place dull even in the daytime, as if it were evening.
This is the fifth floor of the Nine Shades.
Two figures swept across the wasteland, dragging a thick stream of blood, as if they were chasing something. And because of the long years of fighting, you can see ravines, swamps and dark rivers here, which is quite suitable for hiding.
"Damn, dumped. A thick, hoarse voice rang out, and the two rays of light stopped.
The speaker was a man with an ugly face, a tall, muscular man, with only fur wrapped around his waist. His complexion was bronzed and almost black, and there seemed to be strange patterns hidden in the texture, his eyes were full of murder and anger, and he held a long knife that was dark and red.
"Sulun. The front is to the Yellow Spring, there is no Yin Boat at this time, and it is far away from the Two Realms Bridge, so he will definitely not be able to cross the river. Most of them are hidden nearby. "The other is a woman, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face. Armed with serrated twin swords.
The man with an ugly face looked ahead angrily, only to see a long river of blood and yellow rolling through, and the sound of ghosts crying and crying could be faintly heard, even if the sun was dark, he could not hide the chill.
They are the powerhouses of the Asura clan here, and they have just fought a big battle with the nearby hundred-armed demons, killing corpses all over the field, and there are broken arms and stumps everywhere, but there are important people who take advantage of the chaos to escape.
The two, whose eyes were red by the desire to kill, bit to death, and chased all the way until they reached the bank of the Huangquan River.
"Also, without the Yin Boat and the Bridge of the Two Realms, even the Ancestor would not be able to cross the Yellow Spring, forgive him for not having that ability. Su Lun said through gritted teeth.
The Yellow Spring and the former Stygian Sea are the foreign objects in the forefront of the Nine Shades, symbolizing death and a glimmer of life, so it can not fly away from the sky, and can only rely on the ten "Two Realms Bridges" that have been there since its birth to pass, each layer of the Nine Shadows has one, and the tenth is mysterious and ethereal, only a few evil gods and demons have seen it, and they don't know where it leads.
In addition, only the Yin Boat made of special materials can float on the water of the Huangquan River, and the rest will sink when it encounters water, and this water is extraordinary, the immortal Venerable falls into, is washed away, and will also sink, forgetting all the memories of the past, and becoming a water ghost who can never be freed.
Even if there are special exercises, supernatural powers, or treasures to protect the body, which will not be affected for a short time, the countless souls of the sunken in the Yellow Spring will also be entangled and dragged by the future until they return together.
After Su Lun finished speaking, he suddenly sighed: "Bran, you are indeed stronger than me, and you can slightly overcome the influence of your killing bloodthirsty nature and make a rational judgment. ”
The Asura clan was born in battle, long in killing, such a nature, fate, happy in it, and the evil gods, demons, evil ghosts, unjust spirits, etc. all over the nine shades, of course, their killing will please the nine shades, get the promotion "reward", with the increase in strength, after reaching a certain limit, there will be reason, can barely overcome the nature, so that they can continue to grow, but the influence of the nature always exists, even if it reaches the level of the Great Freedom Son of Heaven and the evil god Huangquan, it cannot be completely shaken off, unless it becomes a demon lord, The powerhouse of the level of the Heavenly Killing Daoist, at that time, what was fighting was the road.
Bran smiled bitterly: "It's not much better than you......"
She is friendly with Sulun because after she has reason, she is often confused by the loss of instinct and wants to get rid of this tragedy of fate, unlike other kindred, reason is to fight better and kill better.
The two fell into a brief silence, and then disappeared, searching this place to the ravines and valleys on the banks of the Huangquan River, and after a while, the sound of the river rushing could be heard clearly, and the blue-gray majestic and simple stone temple on the bank came into the eyes of the two asuras.
Every time they see this magnificent and humble stone temple, Su Lun and Bran will spontaneously feel a sense of savage but peace, as if they have experienced the world and seen through their desires.
There are many such limestone temples, some are on the banks of the Huangquan River on other layers, some are on the side of the ruins of the Stygian Sea, and so on, and so on, it is said that it is an ancient thing that has existed since the opening of the Nine Shadows, and it is also rumored that it was built later in order to seal some terrifying existences, and the birth of Sulun and Bran is less than three Jiazi, so naturally there is no way to verify.
"Will he hide in the temple?" Bran said subconsciously.
The wilderness of the Limestone Temple and the conflict with the nature of the evil gods and demons, once they get close, it will make them very uncomfortable, if it is not destroyed, this place will be razed to the ground long ago, and hiding in it is not a bad way.
Su Lun carried the Dark Shen Knife, strode forward, walked to the limestone temple in two steps, and said casually: "Search and it will be clear." ”
The stone temple is quaint, there is no plaque, the meditation hall is carved out of a faceless Buddha with the common blood black stone of the nine shadows, the whole body is like stained with blood, there is a kind of indescribable weirdness, but it obviously exudes a sense of tranquility and peace, and the wooden fish, green lanterns, futons and other things are also made of stone.
In front of the Faceless Buddha stood a figure, draped in a blood-soaked dark red robe, with loose hair and pale skin.
His facial features were ordinary, his eyes seemed to contain magnetic meaning, and with a slight sweep, Su Lun and Bran were as if they had been caught in the magic of ecstasy, and they couldn't help but walk over.
"The pus and blood at his feet felt familiar, like the hundred-armed demon we were chasing......" Bran thought to himself in a rather sober state, glancing at the bloody stain.
The man in the dark red robe showed a red light in his hands, and said in a low voice:
"Have you seen anyone like this in all these days?"
A figure naturally appeared in the minds of Bran and Sulun, covered in black robes, with delicate faces, and their eyes were all black and white, which was extremely weird.
Su Lun wanted to answer from the bottom of his heart, and said honestly: "Yes, he first entered this temple, and then haunted the neighborhood from time to time, and after a few days, there was no trace of him. ”
The man in the dark red robe nodded slightly, and said as if talking to himself:
"Did Huang Quan's reincarnation really disappear nearby?"
"Yes, Huangquan's reincarnation is just here to disappear. Outside the temple, an old and young voice came in.
Bran and Sulun turned their heads sharply, only to find that there was an additional figure at the door, looking like an old man, wearing a brocade robe, with black hair and white sideburns, and the rest were ordinary, only the eyes seemed to hide layers of whirlpools alternating between black and white.
The dark red robe's eyes narrowed: "Who is Your Excellency?
With his current strength, he is ranked in the Nine Shadows, and he is only one hundred and eighty, which is countable, but this gray-haired, evil old man has no impression at all.
Is it an outsider, or is it the secret incarnation of someone?
The old man with white sideburns walked in with his hands in his hands and smiled slightly:
"It doesn't matter who the old man is, what matters is where he is. ”
As he spoke, his eyes always looked at the blood-black faceless Buddha, slowly passed over Su Lun and Bran, and over the man in the dark red robe, stopped in front of the incense case, looked up at the Buddha's faceless face, and said with emotion:
"If the old man's feeling is not wrong, this should be the handiwork of the Lingshan Buddha. ”
"Buddha?" the man in the dark red robe looked back in amazement, and then looked at the Faceless Buddha.
At this time, the old man in the brocade robe flicked his fingers and lit the stone green lantern.
With a snort, the room was full of light, shining in every corner, and the man in the dark red robe couldn't help but reach out to cover his eyes, for fear of being illuminated, and Su Lun and Bran closed their eyes tightly, and stepped back a few steps.
This old man is Meng Qi's incarnation of Huangquan, and it has been a short time since he entered the Nine Shadows, and he has been tracing here from the place where the reincarnation of Huangquan first appeared, and this is the third limestone temple he has encountered! )
