Chapter 172: Immortal Mode?

in the village.

As soon as Su Xing's voice fell, Carl smiled bitterly: "It seems that we can't go if we don't leave..."

——As the 'Buddha's painful realm continued to spread, the seafood around Su Xing and the three of them also collapsed to the ground one after another.

They struggled, wailed, and emitted a large number of 'black threads'.

Su Xing, Carl and the old man all have the means to collect and absorb the 'black silk thread'.

Here's the difference.

Among the three, only Su Xing was able to directly see and absorb the 'black silk thread' with the naked eye without performing rituals or sacrifices.

And Su Xing really intends to absorb the 'black silk thread' emitted by the seafood.

But just as he was about to take action, an indescribable pain engulfed him in an instant.

"Whew!"

The extreme pain made Su Xing couldn't help but fall to his knees - as a traverser, his endurance was the worst among the three people present.

In less than half a minute, sweat was already oozing from his forehead, and his face was distorted: "I can't do it anymore, I must go to the center of the village, otherwise I will be hurt to death." ”

With that, Su Xing struggled to get up from the ground and quickly walked towards the center of the seafood village....

Meanwhile.

Carl and the old man, who also fell to their knees due to pain, finally couldn't support it after holding on for more than ten seconds.

The two glanced at each other, and then followed closely behind Su Xing....

And as the three of them got closer and closer to the center of the seafood village, the impact of the suffering generated by the 'Buddha' gradually became much smaller.

On the way, the old man analyzed: "The two Taoist friends should feel it, right? Those seafood were affected by the 'Buddha', and a large number of 'black silk threads' were emitted.... In this way, the 'Buddha' should use suffering to squeeze the 'black thread' of human beings. ”

"Take advantage of the pain?"

Hearing what the old man said, Su Xing asked: "You can't squeeze the 'black silk thread', is there anything special about this?" ”

"Yes."

The old man replied: "I also realized it after seeing what happened to those seafoods: I estimate that the so-called 'black silk thread' is actually a substance composed of human emotions, so it can't be seen and touched.... Only the monks are allowed to see and absorb the 'black thread' through the ritual of offering sacrifices to the unspeakable. ”

Of course, among the monks mentioned by the old man, Su Xing was an exception.

- Su Xing is the only monk who has been promoted to the Jindan stage without performing any rituals or sacrifices.

The old man continued: "Because I have been staying in Beiju Luzhou, I still have some understanding of the 'spirit'....'Spirit' oppresses the 'black silk thread' of human beings, mainly using the emotion of madness, and the more crazy the affected person is, the more 'black silk thread' will be emitted. ”

The old man's words are not nonsense.

As early as when he was under the desert of Dongsheng Divine Continent, Su Xing had already been polluted by the whispering voice of the 'spirit'.

Under this pollution, his spirit fell into madness several times, and he was on the verge of collapse at any time.

It wasn't until he was infected by 'Shou' in the Tree Realm that two indescribable forces counterbalanced each other that he gradually recovered.

There is also the insect fog of Beiju Luzhou.

Not only can the insect mist generate natural disasters, but to a certain extent, it can tamper with the memories of the affected people, causing them to go crazy.

This is something that Su Xing and Carl had already experienced once when they met 'Madame' in Bone City.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the power of the 'spirit' is indeed related to 'madness'.

And Carl, who has been in Nanbu Zhou for a long time, has a certain understanding of 'longevity': "In fact, compared with 'spirit' and 'Buddha', 'longevity' is a bit special.... It is through faith that the 'black thread' of human beings is extracted, so someone must worship the statue of 'Shou'. ”

It is not so much that 'Shou' collects beliefs from human beings, but rather that a very small number of Jindan monks are helping 'Shou' to collect.

"The Almighty Soldier King of the Female President"

For example, the Yuan Dragon Dao people of Morotian.

His so-called 'Ascension Ritual' is to help 'Shou' collect human beliefs.

In return, Shou will give back a part of this belief, that is, the 'Black Silk Thread', to the Yuanlong Dao people who helped collect it.

In this way, the Yuanlong Dao talent was promoted to the Jindan stage.

In the same way, Karl had previously built the statue of 'Shou' in the royal capital, which was also for this purpose....

Under the guidance of the old man and Carl, Su Xing also realized: "According to this, then the battle between the three indescribable creatures on the birthday star is that 'Shou', 'Buddha', and 'Spirit' are using different ways to snatch the 'black silk thread' of human beings. ”

"Not bad." The old man said: "The nature of these three indescribable 'black silk threads' collected is faith, pain and madness.... It is precisely because of the different nature that they are incompatible with each other, and there is also the saying of dividing the territory. ”

Karl asked, "So what exactly does the 'black thread' do to the unspeakable?" Is it grain? Or is it a way to improve your strength? ”

The old man shook his head and smiled helplessly: "No one will know about this, but it must be very important..."

in the village.

Su Xing and the three of them chatted while walking, and were soon driven to the very center of the village by the painful realm of the 'Buddha'.

In the central area of Seafood Village, there is no great horror as imagined by Su Xing and the others, only four giant stone slabs stand in the open space in the center of the village.

Three of the stone slabs depict huge eyeballs, monsters full of tentacles, and solemn Buddha statues.

The stone slab with huge eyeballs on it, and countless monks in Taoist robes, were kneeling on the ground.

Those monks, Karl recognized their identities at a glance: "These people are wearing heavenly official uniforms, so they should be heavenly immortals.... As for the huge eyeball, it is the image of 'longevity' in the hearts of human beings. ”

On the stone slab with the tentacle monster depicted, there are countless aquatic creatures, kneeling on the ground.

After the old man looked at it, he analyzed: "That tentacle monster is the image of the 'spirit' in the human heart.... In addition, only humans can emit 'black silk threads', so those aquatic creatures that believe in tentacles are likely to be humans! ”

The solemn Buddha statue slab, there are countless Buddhist disciples in robes, kneeling on the ground.

Because he had read countless literary works before the crossing, Su Xingzi knew the symbol of the Buddha statue: "If I guessed correctly, the Buddha statue on the stone slab should refer to the 'Buddha'.... The monks in robes are all followers of the Buddha. ”

After figuring out the contents of the three tablets, Karl wondered, "So, what do these three tablets mean?" ”

In addition to the three stone tablets with indescribable descriptions, the fourth stone slab in the center of the village has only an inner view of a human being carved into it.

The human beings on the slate are divided equally into three different areas by lines, which are equal in size.

In the upper area, there is a giant eyeball.

In the area on the left below, tentacle monsters are drawn.

In the area on the right below, a Buddha statue is depicted.

The old man stared at the fourth stone slab for a long time, and guessed: "I think this is the previous one warning us, as long as we balance the power of the three unspeakable creatures, we can end the catastrophe on the birthday star!" ”

"I don't see it."

Su Xing shook his head and said, "After all, eyeballs, tentacle monsters, and Buddha statues are all painted inside the human body, and I think that's the key." ”

Somehow.

After seeing the fourth slate, Su Xing remembered the immortal mode practiced by the protagonist Naruto in the anime "Naruto".

If the three indescribable forces from 'Buddha', 'Longevity', and 'Spirit' are brought into balance in the same human body, what effect will it have?
