Chapter 17: The Magic Bracelet Spirit
Wrapped in eternal silence, the sun was a fireball about to be extinguished in the hearth, dimly falling into the western mountains. In the uninhabited canyon, in the icy stream, there is a girl who carries a sinking load.
She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, her eyes were closed, her lips were pale, her hands clenched a severed arm, her breasts wet with blood, and her broad green robe spread out wantonly in the stream, as if at any moment she might be dragged into endless darkness.
At this moment when it was about to be swallowed up by darkness, a little fluorescence shattered the silence. The golden glow flew out of his wrist, and when it first appeared, it was only a speck of dust that was almost invisible, but in an instant, it expanded infinitely, turning the cold water into a sea of light, pure white in the center, and the figure of a human figure was full of shadows.
(“...... Who am I, and where is this?")
The white shadow "looked around", looking at the moonlight in the water, and soon, "he" noticed the girl half-floating in the water, her sleeping face made him indescribably familiar, so he couldn't help but stretch out his "hand", but the "finger" turned into smoke when it was about to touch the girl's body.
I see.
"He" self-deprecatingly put his "hand" into the water, and sure enough, he couldn't feel the temperature of the stream, and an unknown small fish leisurely passed through "his" "arm".
The real me doesn't exist anymore, and I'm just a remnant of my thoughts at the moment.
For some reason, his heart was filled with a bitter emotion, and he pulled his "hand" out of the water and "looked" at the girl carefully.
("Is it you, the blood that woke me up from the endless darkness, is that you?")
About half a year ago, trapped in purgatory, I almost forgot my own existence and my consciousness was about to dissipate, because a drop of soul blood full of life breath was condensed again. It brings new vitality to "him", and through this drop of soul blood, "he" can even absorb a small amount of heaven and earth essence, although only a small bit, but ...... Over time, the dried soul finally got some nourishment, and finally regained its freedom on this bloody night, for unknown reasons.
But—
Who am I? Why am I in purgatory?
He lowered his head and looked at his half-light body in the white light.
It was only at this moment that "he" realized that he had been trapped for too long, and he had forgotten his name, and only vaguely remembered that he was living on the top of the clouds, living in a temple of brilliant light, and where he passed, countless beings knelt down, but there was more to ...... I can't think of anything......
How long have I been trapped?
Who sealed me?
......
Countless questions came to my mind, and I recalled that there was only the desolate whiteness and the hopeless nothingness.
Finally, "he" gave up his reminiscence, lowered his "head", and carefully looked at the girl who was floating in the water.
("The bones are too bad, and I'm still a woman, but fortunately, my appearance is not too ugly.") Forget it, it's going to be used. After taking it, I will think about refining this body into a peerless root bone. ”)
"Speaking" with disdain, "he" stretched out his "hand" and probed into the girl's sea of knowledge.
Hey?
This girl with poor roots and bones actually has the power of stars in her body!
Although the cultivation law of the Star Peerless Technique has nothing to do with the root bones, most people can't even get through attracting the power of the stars into their bodies!
And, where did she get the exercises?
- Even in the era of "him", only "him" and that person know the Tao of the Stars and the Peerless Secret.
Exploring the sea of knowledge again, "he" found that although the meridians in this girl's body were chaotic, what flowed during the period was the power of the orthodox stars!
What the hell is going on!
But "he" was quickly relieved.
Because "he" found that the bracelet on the girl's wrist was actually made of Nasumeru mustard seeds, it was the time and space purgatory that imprisoned "him" for countless years!
Na Sumeru mustard seed is a rare thing hidden in the star dust, subtle implies infinity, just in line with the Buddhist scriptures "with the height and breadth of Sumeru, in the mustard seed, there is no increase or subtraction", known as the most perfect material to create space magic vessels. Ordinary magic weapons only need to add a Nasumeru mustard seed to split a few zhang of space, and this seemingly inconspicuous silver bracelet is actually made of Nasumeru mustard seeds! The countless patterns engraved on the surface hide hundreds of millions of talismans. These talismans are so complex and huge that some of them have not even been seen by "he", who claims to be a complete collection of talismans.
Obviously, this rootless girl obtained the purgatory of time and space by chance, and when she was trapped inside and absorbed the essence of heaven and earth through her soul blood, she also gained great benefits.
Since the power of the stars has been obtained from me, there is nothing wrong with taking it back now.
"He" thought confidently, once again probing a small amount of consciousness into her sea of consciousness, ready to take it. However, this time, "he" met the golden ball in the sea of knowledge. The seemingly docile little ball, as soon as it met his consciousness, immediately spun rapidly, and countless golden threads flew around, trapping the part he had probed into like a silkworm chrysalis, unable to struggle.
It's -
Zen Secret Method!
"He" hurriedly pulled out the penetrating consciousness.
Zen Buddhism takes the path of becoming a Buddha in the flesh, and from the beginning of cultivation, it will combine the primordial spirit with the physical body! Although I don't know where the woman got the tantric secret method, and why she practiced the tantric secret method with the power of the stars, her original spirit has been initially connected to the physical body!
With "his" current weakness, he simply cannot succeed.
Damn it!
The living flesh is in front of you, but you can't eat it and you can't use it.
But "he" soon realized another fact that was almost ignored: the girl's qualifications were extremely poor, and she barely embarked on the path of cultivation on her own, and the soul blood that awakened him was rich and full of breath...... She's not the one who gave him soul blood!
Moreover, just a drop of soul blood awakens "him" from an almost eternal withering, which shows that he is in perfect harmony with "his" body!
If you can take away that person's body......
The endless years of wandering in the purgatory of time and space have left the only subconscious "he" on the verge of madness, and it is difficult to resist the temptation of the flesh. And a body with excellent physiognomy is tantamount to an artifact descending from the sky.
Although it is unknown where the body is now, even his own soul blood can be sent out, which shows that the girl in front of him is extraordinary to that person. The soul blood is still bright red, which means that the person is not dead, as long as "he" follows the girl, the perfect body he dreamed of will come by himself!
"He" already disliked the girl's bones too badly, but he was forced to have no choice, so he had to make do, and now he found that there was another beautiful choice, and he suddenly became happy, separated a small amount of consciousness into the water, and dropped the water mixed with the heart mantra on the girl's eyebrows, and the originally sleepy face gradually reacted.
......
......
“...... Where is ......this? Dead?"
Li Yunuan opened his eyes, looked left and right, and saw countless fireflies dotted with bright and charming.
This is Lethe?
Where do people go when they die?
The water gently pushed her body forward, the scenery on both sides of the river regressed one after another, and in the hazy moonlight, she saw the shadows of the trees, and saw the small flowers on the embankment waving in the wind, and saw—
A ball of light that does not lose the bright moon perches on his chest, his body is shrouded in crystal, floating in the water, stretching out his hand, under the moonlight, his fingers appear a little transparent.
I...... He's dead?
("You're finally awake.") ”)
Just as he was out of his mind, he suddenly heard a voice that couldn't distinguish gender, Li Yunuan looked around for a long time, and finally realized that the voice was directly in his head, so he became more and more sure that he was in the underworld, and what was talking to her at the moment was the ghost who led her to reincarnation, and hurriedly begged: "Brother ghost, I will follow you honestly." But before going to the reincarnation platform, I want to meet someone, and he ...... For me...... Very important, I ...... I've always wanted to see him again...... Say 'I'm sorry' to him, and I still ...... I failed you ......"
As he spoke, he thought of Brother Yeyin's uncertain life and death in order to save himself, and he should have lived with his part, but he was still embarrassed and didn't see an inch of work, and his heart was suddenly sour, and tears rolled in his eyes, almost dripping.
("What is the ghost?") Sure enough, I've slept for too long, I don't understand what you're talking about.) ”)
After a brief pause, the warm voice rang out again.
("If the person you said you want to see again, if it is the one who gave you the soul blood, the deity can tell you unmistakably that the soul blood is still alive and alive.") ”)
"You're not a ghost, this isn't the underworld?!" At first hearing that her cousin was still alive, Li Yunuan's sluggish spirit suddenly lifted up, she forgot that her body was still suspended in the water, and she sat up excitedly, but because of this, she lost her center of gravity and almost sank to the bottom.
"Ahem!"
After spitting out a few mouthfuls of stream water, Li Yunuan, who finally found his center of gravity, finally realized that his body could be suspended in the water, all because of the unknown white light, so he talked to the seniors in his mind and said: "Seniors, the white light surrounding me, is it yours?"
("Hmph, if it weren't for the deity's action, you would have become a meatloaf by the time you fell off the cliff!")
Realizing that his predecessor had a bad tone, Li Yunuan hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I thought I was dead just now...... The language is offensive, so please don't take it seriously. ”
("Hmph-")
After drifting for about half a pillar of incense, his body was intercepted by the vigorous and powerful fibrous roots of the old tree, Li Yunuan took the opportunity to go ashore with difficulty, looked around, and said to himself: "Senior, where is this place?"
("Where is this, how does the deity know the way!") The deity also wants to know who you are, and what will you get...... Hallow!")
The last two words, stiff with a hint of hatred, are obviously neutral words that were selected after a few deliberations, although Li Yunuan is a complete waste in practice, but he has grown up in the deep palace since he was a child, and is proficient in human affairs, and immediately realized that the "holy weapon" and the mysterious master who called himself the "deity" had some hatred.
Could it be—
Li Yunuan lowered his head and found that the silver bracelet on his wrist was wrapped in a ball of white.
Her heart moved, and she hurriedly said, "Could it be that the predecessor knows the origin of the Dao Demon Temptation Bracelet?"
("The Enticing Bracelet? is what the world calls it?")
The white light on the bracelet diffused, and in an instant, it condensed into a loose human form in front of Li Yunuan, and his body was surrounded by pure white, his face and limbs were indistinguishable, and he could only vaguely be determined to be a slender man.
A ray of light floated out and slid across her face.
("How many years, how many years have I been trapped in that dark and cold place, so long that I have forgotten the warmth of flesh...... Fresh flesh, ......")
“......”
Li Yunuan took a step back, this creature who didn't know if it was a human or a spirit, the aura emanating from her body made her frightened, but she couldn't help but miss it, as if it was ...... The people who still admire are finally reunited......
“...... Brother Night's ......"
