Chapter 7: Death
When Willow returned to his room, a voice rang out from the bottom of his heart, "Promise her that you won't suffer." ”
Willow Tree muttered: "It's just the strength of the Fierce Realm, where can it be compared to your own life! Besides, it's not unrestricted for you to borrow my strength, so forget about this matter." ”
"Boom–––"
Willow pushed open the window, looked at the thunderous lightning that appeared in the sky at some point, and sat down on the window, and for a moment he put all the complicated things behind him.
"Moo––"
A bull's roar suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the startled willow tree fell from the window, and its ears buzzed.
The willow tree struggled to open his eyes and saw a big foot covered in cyan scales in the clouds slamming down towards the "Thunder Tower" in the distance, with a fierce momentum.
"Evil beast, you dare!"
Willow can see a withered monk, as if he is like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, instantly becoming larger, the soles of his feet seem to be connected to the ground, and he can reach out to pick up stars.
The monk punched out, and the sound of a heavy object intersecting sounded, and the seemingly bony palm resisted the paw of the alien beast the size of a house.
The monk's whole body is like a golden cast, and the dazzling golden light emanates from the monk's body, making the monk look like a small sun, and the monk's lips are slightly opened: "The Dharma is boundless." ”
These four words reverberated endlessly in the sky above the capital, and with the sound of thunder, the monk looked like a god.
The soles of the strange beast's feet disappeared immediately after the monk finished saying that the Dharma is boundless, and after the monk's paws disappeared, the golden light of his whole body disappeared, turning into a black spot that could not be seen by the willow tree.
It's just that the cloud pierced through the sole of the foot proves that everything just now is not Willow's personal dream fantasy.
"Old bald donkey, I didn't expect that your strength has reached the peak of regret, then let you live for a few more days, in a few months, my Black Sky Overlord will take your life!"
"Black sky, if you fight with me today and kill thousands of people in this capital, he will definitely suffer evil consequences one day, and go to the eighteen layers of hell, Amitabha. The monk's voice spread in all directions, and suddenly, a sky full of figures floated into the air.
The lightning lit up, shining on the Thunder Sound Pagoda, which looked not like a sacred place for Buddhism, but rather a place for evil spirits.
Willow shook his head, and slowly the buzzing in his ears recovered.
All the floating figures circled around the Thunder Tower, and then all of them turned into bright lights and dissipated between heaven and earth.
The window paper, the leaves, were all shaken by the roar of the beast just now, and the willow tree looked at the mess in the courtyard, and turned his eyes to the Leiyin Tower: "That's, the souls of thousands of people." ”
The sky rumbled, lightning flashed and lit up the entire capital, and the rain fell suddenly.
Willow sat in front of the threshold, looking in the direction of the Thunder Tower, and for a moment even he didn't know what he was thinking, there was a past life, there was a present life, there was a future life, there was a present being, there were thousands of distracting thoughts.
"Will my life be better than theirs? Yes, maybe! Maybe it's right, life is power. ”
The willow tree got up and entered the house after a while in the rain, his heart was a little irritable, he knew that tonight was not suitable for cultivation, and after rolling back and forth on the bed a few times, he began to snore, this was the first night he had not cultivated since he had cultivated.
"Willow, don't sleep. Zhang Xiaocong looked at the embarrassed willow tree and patted the willow tree's face.
"Let me sleep again, just a moment. Willow said with his eyes closed and a confused smile.
"What's the dream? Zhang Xiaocong kicked Willow Tree's calf.
"Why are you so ruthless. Willow suddenly came to his senses: "What's the matter? ”
"You know what happened in the middle of the night last night, right?" Zhang Xiaocong said seriously.
"Yes, what's wrong?" asked Willow, confused.
"The mortals around the Leiyin Pagoda are all dead, last night the emperor issued an edict and built tombs for those who were killed overnight, and there are many beggars around the Leiyin Tower, where will anyone give them incense, so the master organized our disciples to give incense to those beggars early in the morning!" Zhang Xiaocong said with a sympathetic face.
"Okay, I'll go when I'm washed. Willow sat down on the ground, took a deep breath, and slapped himself in the face a few times.
"Then hurry up, I'll prepare the sacrifice for you. Zhang Xiaocong walked out of the house after speaking.
Willow washed his face, tidied himself up, and walked out of the courtyard.
After the rain last night, the sky was blue and the sun was very warm, but the heart of the willow tree was very gloomy, as if there was a stone blocking his heart.
On the way to the grave of the dead last night, looking at the living people walking back and forth on the street, Willow's heart became heavier, and when he looked at the desolation of the small tombs, this heavy and depressed heart reached its peak.
When he returned to Anfu, the willow tree sat cross-legged under the tree, closing his eyes and resting.
The consciousness of the willow tree is pulled into a dark space, and the dark space feels like a person is immersed in thick ink, unable to open his eyes, unable to breathe, and uncomfortable to death.
"I feel very uncomfortable, I really want to be free, now you have two choices, one is to run desperately in one direction with your own will, and the other is to follow your inner will, wandering in this space, both of these methods may free you, but it is also possible that you will not be free, depending on how you choose. A voice rang out from the depths of Willow's heart.
At this time, the willow tree had already felt the edge of death, and without thinking much about it, he desperately ran forward, running forward, he wanted to seize that glimmer of life by himself.
But this space was unusually viscous, and he used up all his strength, and he only ran a dozen steps.
Willow felt a burning pain in his chest, he wanted to keep running, keep running, but he was weak, slowly, slowly, he fell, at this time, a mysterious force in the space drove Willow to float in another direction.
When Willow was moved by this mysterious power, he felt that his whole body was in much better condition, and he indulged in this comfortable feeling.
"Smack—" A slap, and Willow suddenly felt that he could breathe fresh air, but then he felt a burning pain in his face.
"Are you alright?"
When Willow opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a pair of large, watery-looking eyes.
"Sister Xue, what are you doing?" said Willow Shu as she looked at the maid in front of her, who was about twenty years old, with a very nervous look on her face at this time.
"I see that you still have a pulse, but you just don't breathe, if you continue like this, you will die if you still don't breathe, I told you that you don't agree, there is no way, I have to wake you up, let you breathe, where have you been, are you possessed by ghosts. Sister Xue said nervously.
Sister Xue is a maid in this palace, and she usually likes to chat with them scholars when she has nothing to do, and over time, they all become friends, but Liu Shu doesn't have many words to ordinary people, so the relationship between him and Sister Xue is just average.
"No, I just made some mistakes in my cultivation just now, and it will be fine in the future, thank you Sister Xue for waking me up. Willow smiled and said gratefully to Sister Xue.
Just now, because he saw thousands of lives withering in an instant yesterday, and thought of his fate, even if there is a mysterious person who has signed a contract with him, the future is still bleak.
There is no strength and no capital to survive, now he has more feelings than ever before, he saw those ordinary people living on the street, he admitted that at that time he was scared, he didn't want to be like those ordinary people, living in a life and death uncertain tomorrow, he wanted life and death to control himself, he didn't want to be a persimmon, no matter when he was at will, he was at the mercy of others, he knew one thing, he was very afraid of death.
And after yesterday's incident, he also understood a truth, in this world, it is not that you don't mess with anyone, then you can live a peaceful life, those beggars must have done anything bad, but just because of the aftermath of other people's battles, they died innocently, this world, no matter what you want to do, strength is the first, only strength, will let you have capital, want to do what you want to do the capital of the capital!
After thinking of these things, after he came to the house, his yearning for strength and the fear of death made him fall into a dark space, even he didn't know what was going on, but fortunately, Sister Xue's slap made him wake up from that dark space.
In the depths of the willow tree's heart, a sigh sounded: "I didn't expect this willow tree's strength to be so low, so there is a magic barrier, I really don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but if it weren't for that girl's bad thing, I'm afraid that the willow tree at this time, no matter what way it is, has found an outlet, and its strength will rise out of thin air, life." ”
