Chapter 180: Tong Mo's Concept of Life and Death
The source of the fragrance of lotus flowers is the lotus pond in front of the "Hall of Bliss".
When the three of them came here with knives, they all showed different colors, and they were shocked by what they saw.
This huge lotus pond, about two hectares in size, has frozen, and the ice is pale with a blotted blue, like a silver plate of cold jade.
But on the ice, the red or purple lotus flowers are still slim, and they should bloom in the summer, but in the moonlight, they look arrogant and noble, and the cold is wild.
Curious, the butterfly approached the flower and gently touched the petals with the tip of the scabbard, but the touch was firm and not as soft as expected
"It's ......"
Butterfly Shinobu frowned, his hand was slightly strained, and cracks immediately appeared on the pale red petals, which made Butterfly Shinobu quickly take a step back, and then said to his sister and Immortal Chuan: "It's not alive, it should just be that the summer flowers are frozen when they are in full bloom." β
"If the expectation is good," Butterfly Chanae looked at the lotus flowers all over the pond, and then thought of the architectural style of the Guanghan Palace here, and suddenly judged: "This ghost's blood ghost technique must be related to ice and snow." We have to be careful......"
"Be careful of what?"
A gentle and unhurried voice asked, the timbre was like a young man who had just passed puberty, and there was a big difference between the evil voice and evil spirit of the immortal Kawa Minoru.
The three of them drew their knives out of their sheaths at the same time, and their shoulders were against each other in a triangle, and one looked in one direction, but no matter up and down, left or right, they could not find the source of the sound.
"Why did you draw your sword? What an impulsive child. β
The voice echoed softly in the huge lotus pond, like a haunting ghost, "This is not the etiquette of being a guest in someone else's house. β
"Don't pretend to be a ghost there."
Immortal Minoru swung his blade, and several cyan wind blades shattered all the frozen lotus flowers in front of him, clearing a clearing with a wide field of vision, but there was still no enemy in sight.
"Didn't you say that we were going to be greeted with all the believers? Where have they gone? β
The safety of the hostages is always the most important thing for the pillars, and Immortal Chuan's words seem to be demonstrating, but they actually want to inquire about the whereabouts of the believers.
"Eh, if you don't say I've forgotten, how can the grand welcome ceremony be canceled casually......"
The voice seemed to thank Immortal for the reminder, "Let's meet them." β
As soon as the words fell, the ice where the three of them were located immediately began to tremble, and the lotus flowers and lotus leaves that were originally standing also broke and fell like houses in an earthquake, and all of them were shattered.
"Go to the roof."
Butterfly Chana Megumi flew up to the smooth roof of the main hall, and the immortal river raised his knife and smashed the solid ice on it with a few blows, opening up a place where he could stay.
After the three of them stood still, they watched the changes in the lotus pond with serious expressions, and soon, huge spiderweb-like cracks suddenly appeared on the pale ice, as if something was impacting the ice from below.
It didn't take long for the pure white sharp horns like pearls to penetrate the ice, and then suddenly broke through the iceβ
Along with the surface of the water that has not passed through the ice, there are solid-colored ice crystal white lotuses with transparent lotus leaves, which vary in size, some are only the size of a fist, and some are larger than a car; Some of them are completely blooming to reveal lotus roots, while others are showing budding appearances, and their postures are different.
In a short time, the lotus-pond the size of the square has been filled with all kinds of white lotuses, and the ice surface has been completely replaced by pure and clear water, and the whole scene looks beautiful.
However, none of the Ghost Slayer trio could not be happy.
The more grand the scene, the more terrifying the ghost's abilities.
The last time they had seen such a big scene, it was the fire on Peach Mountain, but it was caused by the ghost of Narutoki getting out of control.
But every white lotus in front of him is as eye-catching as a finely carved work of art, and the strength of this ghost's control can be seen.
Before you don't know the specific blood ghost technique of the other party, you must not act rashly.
"In order to welcome you, I specially woke up these long-sleeping white lotuses, isn't it beautiful?"
A young man wearing a triple Buddha crown did not appear on a transparent ice lotus leaf in the center of the pool, "In order to be worthy of the two young ladies' flowers and moon appearance, I have worked a lot of time, I hope you can like the beautiful scenery here, hehehehe." β
After he said this, he covered his mouth with a folding fan and laughed, but the content in his colorful eyes changed instantly, proving his identity.
"Is this the second of the first wind?"
Looking at the harmless smile of the other party, the three of them were a little surprised, they didn't expect this ghost to be like this, and there was no sense of oppression.
Especially Chanae and Fengzhu, who had fought against Black Death, didn't even feel a little hostile to each other.
But in the end, it was Butterfly Shinobu who saw some clues.
It's the same laugh, but this guy's smile can't give comfort and warmth like his sister at all, but looks contrived and stiff.
"Stop smiling."
She said a little harshly, "What a clumsy imitation." β
"I really don't know how those believers of yours can fall for you so easily and treat you as the reincarnation of some bullshit Buddha."
"Ah, it's obviously the first time we've met, but little girl, your mouth is really mean."
Tong Mo's smile did not retract, but his tone was full of complaints, "But I still have to defend myself, I have never deceived them." β
"From the very beginning, it was people who came to me and prayed and cried to me, hoping that I could relieve their pain and let me take them to a paradise where there was no birth, old age, sickness and death...... And I did just that, and I never forced anyone to join the Cult of Bliss. Even a few of you, I didn't force you to come here, let alone deceive, did I? So fooled or something...... It's really impossible to talk about. β
"What about your believers?"
Butterfly Shinobu surrounded the surroundings, but only saw the figure of Tong Mo and a ghost, and couldn't help asking, "Where are they?" β
The location of those hostages must be determined first!
This is the primary goal to be achieved before the mission is carried out.
"Eh, can't you see? They've always been here. Oops, really, I forgot to call them out! β
Tong Mo covered his mouth in surprise and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll let them come out to meet you." Be prepared. β
As he spoke, like an actor in a theater, he slashed the two folding fans in his hand across a huge range of one hundred and eighty degrees, waving a faint ripple towards the white lotus around him.
Seeing this scene, the three of them suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.
When those ripples spread, every time they pass through a white lotus, those white lotuses will immediately become as crystal clear as lotus leaves!
However, this also reveals the true face of this seemingly beautiful ice crystal lotus!
They are invisible prisons!
Within each of the huge lotus flowers in full bloom, two or three richly dressed people were detained in it, some of them looked like a family of three, while others looked like ordinary couples.
And those flower bones that have not yet bloomed, each of them contains a girl dressed in white!
But without exception, these people remained motionless in the frozen lotus, most of them made panicked expressions, and a few of them opened their mouths wide and let out silent screams at the three of them.
And what frightened the three of them the most was the ice lotus closest to Tong Mo, and it was the stunned Saeki couple who were put there!
"You ...... guy"
The bloodshot in Immortal Chuan's eyes spread rapidly, and the temperament of the whole person became visibly vicious, and he let out a fierce and terrifying roar at Tong Mo below!
"What did you do?"
That's more than 240 living people!
Just stay motionless in the ice created by the blood demon magic!
Whether it was the horror shown by those people or the shocking figures, it made the immortal Chuan, who had insisted on self-cultivation for more than a month, directly break the merit.
The butterfly Chanae, who was in a state of shock, didn't have time to stop it, and the immortal river had already jumped down, carrying an incomparably sharp cyan blade to Tong Mo, and slashed at the opponent's head!
"Even though your hair color is the same as mine."
Tong Mo smiled and moved his steps, dodging the attack without any mistakes, and the golden iron fan naturally swung towards the back of Immortal Chuan's neck, "But it doesn't look like a good person." β
"Wind Breath, Type Three, Sunny Wind Tree!"
Immortal Chuan twisted his body in time to resist with the blade of his sword, but was still smashed to the ground by the fan that was slashed downward.
However, between Tong Mo wielding the iron fan, he summoned several ice lotus immortal rivers the size of human heads and smashed them, and the latter had no choice but to roll on the spot and fall into the water from the huge lotus leaf, and the ice lotus also fell to pieces, and the temperature around him dropped sharply.
"It's not a good idea to hide in the water!"
Tong Mogang wanted to use the blood ghost technique to freeze the entire water surface, but two more Japanese wheel knives had already been killed, and they were the butterfly sisters who caught up in time.
"Flower Breath, One Shape, Little Lotus Horn!"
The flower pillar spun upside down from the sky, and the weight and strength of his whole body were concentrated on the tip of the knife like a drill, pulling out a peach-colored ethereal phantom in mid-air.
And Butterfly Shinobu stabbed him from the side in a bland way.
"What a beautiful sword skill."
Although he was full of praise, Tong Mo just raised his head and gently smashed the edge of the iron fan, and the full force of Butterfly Chanae immediately deviated from the original track, and he could only turn his body and step on the fan, and returned to the roof with the help of the power of the shock.
"As for you, there's still a little bit to see."
Because Butterfly Shinobi's attack was really unremarkable, Tong Mo unfolded another folding fan rather casually, intending to resist this absolutely non-threatening direct stab......
But the other party's purple knife actually pierced directly through the fan, as if there was no obstacle!
At the same time, a purple butterfly silently circled around his other side.
"Eh, it's a phantom?"
Tong Mo reacted, and suddenly showed an interested look, like a child who had discovered a new toy.
"Guessed right, but there was no reward."
The butterfly's vicious voice appeared in his ears, and the purple venom splashed directly on his face, and Tong Mo's facial features suddenly burst into white smoke, making the panicked snort of the liquid when it touched the stove. That's the corrosive sound.
Seeing that the other party's face had been corroded into a sunken face, Butterfly Shinobu immediately picked up the small knife and slashed it along Tong Mo's wide open mouth.
"Since you like to laugh, then I wish you a good smile!"
However, when the blade entered Tong Mo's occipital bone, the blade was still stuck! Her strength is still not enough!
"Good chance!"
But when the Immortal River in the water saw this scene, he immediately rushed out of the water and slashed at Tong Mo's neck in mid-air!
Chanae in mid-air also showed a look of surprise - I didn't expect the illusion that Xiao Shinobu learned to be so useful, and she also used venom to create such a big flaw!
Could it be that this second string is going to die like this?
However, at this moment, Tong Mo's figure suddenly disappeared from the same place!
Along with that, there was also the Hinawa knife that the butterfly shinobi slashed into his face.
"Sister, be careful!"
Butterfly Shinobu looked behind Butterfly Chanae in horror, and the latter didn't say a word, and directly used the "Flower Breath, Three Shapes, Lotus Leaf" behind him, and resisted Tong Mo's oncoming iron fan with a thoughtful defense. But because he was too hasty, he couldn't use the skill of "climbing the carp", so he was directly sent out by a huge force.
Immortal Chuan flew out and caught Chanae, and together they came to the lotus leaf in the center.
At this time, the directions of the two sides are completely reversed.
The condescending has now become a child mill.
The three of them looked at each other, and in just a few seconds, Tong Mo's face had already returned to its original state, and at this moment, he was looking at them with a smile while playing with the butterfly ninja's small knife, and then threw it back without care.
Butterfly didn't take it, and let the knife pierce the transparent lotus leaf at his feet.
"What an interesting illusion, can you teach me? Look, I'll give you back your sword. β
Tong Mo smiled mischievously at the butterfly, "Eh, why don't you pick it up?" Are you afraid that I will poison the knife? β
After saying that, he immediately praised the butterfly Chanae, "Your sister is really a vigilant child, Miss Chanahui." You two sisters must have experienced a lot of hardship. I can see at a glance a cute and poor girl like you, oh, I like to help such a girl the most. β
"How about it, do you want to confide all the pain in your heart like me?"
"After all, it is my birthright to make people blissful?"
When the three of them saw his calm and breezy appearance, they finally understood.
This guy was just kidding them. He didn't even use the Blood Demon Technique to defuse all of the trio's attacks.
"Since it's your responsibility......"
This time it was Chanae who spoke, but there was no smile on her face, only a look of deep compassion, "Then why do you want to treat your believers like this?" β
Of course, she knew that most ghosts were incomprehensible, and it was useless to ask them why. But she still wanted to know why.
"Obviously, we have accepted your invitation and come to the gate of your palace. Why did you kill them anyway?! β
Chanae asked each other bitterly, so many people died like this, and she blamed herself incomparably. If only I could have come a little earlier......
"I listen to your tone, it seems that I am a wicked person?"
Tong Mo blinked aggrievedly, and tears even flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"I originally planned to spend several years eating them all one by one, so that they could live happily ever after with me in glorious eternal life."
"But it is precisely because your ghost slayer team is investigating my Eternal Elysium that I have no choice but to send them to Elysium, where there are no troubles and sufferings, in advance, and I am forced to separate from them. Otherwise, you will force them to continue to live in this world full of birth, old age, sickness and death, and force them to believe in the fallacy that life is always good. β
Speaking of this, Tong Mo was already in tears, looking very sad, completely ignoring the fact that the faces of the three people below became more and more ugly.
"Therefore, the real wicked people are the ones who interfere with everyone's access to eternal life, and it is obviously a few of you. From the beginning to the end, I was just fulfilling the obligations that God had given me! β
Then, with tears in his eyes, he said softly, "But, even if you do this, I will not treat you differently." β
"I, Tong Mo, the leader of the Cult of Elysium......"
"I will definitely eat you all one bite at a time, absorb all your flesh and minds, and let you and I live forever together in this world, without troubles."
"It doesn't matter if you're full of toxins."
