07 Devil's Path
The gangster was silent for a long time, he looked at the bright moon that appeared and disappeared in the sky, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Jielan is not an ordinary person, even if I have a nostalgia for her, she is not a person I am qualified to have, not to mention that she already has a heart, I am just a person who has rescued her, it is nothing, how can I betray it, I gave this life to you, so no matter what the situation is in the future, I will not marry a wife for you, and do not do anything to betray you, you say okay?" ”
Ning Lu's teary eyes were hazy, and her beautiful face was like ripples of blue water, which was detained in the heart of the criminal, she only said: "Have I caused you a lot of trouble, you will be the lord of the city in the future, how can you not marry a wife, if I let you be like this, wouldn't I become a sinner." ”
The criminals looked at the pitiful woman in front of him and said, "Since I said so, I will do it for you, if you must go, then I will also keep my promise, Ning'er, even if it is my reward to you." ”
Ning'er? It was the first time he called himself so affectionately, which made her feel inexplicably happy, but she also understood that the criminals did this just to repay themselves, as he said, in his heart, he was always inferior to Miss Jielan, she sometimes thought that if she knew him before Miss Jielan, maybe her weight would be a little heavier in his heart, but this was just her own fantasy.
The gangster looked at Ning Lu, thinking of what happened after that, he really couldn't predict what the situation was, he just wanted to find his father as soon as possible, and wanted to ask him clearly, why he insisted on killing his mother in the first place, did he really have no love for his wife and children, so that he gave such a heavy order, he wanted to know if he was still alive, and whether he could return to the loving and gentle father he had been more than ten years ago.
The gangster sighed, looking at this 'Longling Pavilion', the past years are vivid, but now his state of mind is different, and the bright moon hanging high, can you know your own thoughts, and can you convey your thoughts to the person you hate and respect.
The night was deep, and the wind in the courtyard blew gently, lifting the hem of their clothes, like immortals who had fallen into the mortal dust, so that it was not enviable, but their hearts were also like this ethereal wind, not knowing where they would blow in the next moment, nor where they were.
........................................
The temple and the sound of the evening bell echoed in this distant forest, making this noisy world more ethereal and quiet. The novices in the monastery all began to do evening classes and began to meditate.
When they recite the scriptures, their hearts are empty, as if all their thoughts have turned into dust, and all the causes and effects of good and evil have turned into dust.
However, the person in the chamber was in pain, he was supported and controlled by evil thoughts, and the whole person was as uncomfortable as if he had fallen into hell, he was meditating and meditating, but his heart suddenly became in sharp pain, as if the source of evil in his body was revived again, and began to wantonly destroy his body, his soul, and he was powerless to use his only remaining will to resist the occupation and devouring of that evil force, but the evil soul still crawled all over his body like a plague, and finally robbed him of the last trace of will.
A long howl resounded through the monastery, like a wolf being slain. But now this man no longer looked like a man, but his whole body began to change slowly, his dry hands turned into sharp claws, his thick skin turned into red fur, his feet became slender wolf legs, and his head finally became the appearance of an ugly wolf.
I saw two lines of tears flowing down from the wolf's face, these tears were not shed by this wolf demon, but the tears of remorse and helplessness of the city lord of Chiyan City after being oppressed.
But the tear-filled demon wolf had an expression of ecstasy on his face, the ecstasy of the reborn possessor being set free to gain his body and soul. He howled all the way out of the chamber and ran straight into the hall.
Some of the novices in the temple heard the wolf's howl, and they were all afraid, and they didn't know what was happening, and some of the novices came to check the place where the sound came from, but when they reached the halfway point, they saw a fiery red demon wolf running over, and the demon wolf smelled the smell of human beings, and even more came to the spirit, so he pounced directly, biting their necks, licking their blood, and gnawing on their flesh and bones.
When the possessed demon, who had not tasted the taste of fresh flesh and blood for a long time, touched the taste of blood for the first time, he seemed to fall in love with this tender taste, and the novices in the temple were frightened when they saw the monster attacking, they were all frightened and screamed 'ah' and fled in all directions, but the speed of the demon wolf was so amazing, how could these novices escape.
In just a few moments, the novices in this small temple became the food of the demon wolf, and when he was ready to leave the temple to find new prey after a full meal, he still heard the sound of wooden fish in the main hall.
The sound of the wooden fish seemed to have the power of exorcism, and as long as the monk inside recited the scriptures, he felt uncomfortable as if he was in a furnace, and the wolf demon roared angrily and ran towards the main hall.
I saw that there was still a sand monk with white hair sitting in the main hall, this monk squinted, was concentrating on knocking on the wooden fish, chanting scriptures, when the demon wolf approached his side, he said slowly: "It seems that the power of the heart bead has been unable to control the recovery of the possessed demon, watching you finally be haunted by evil obstacles, and will not return to this world in this life, Lao Na is really heartbroken, there is a cause and a result in the world, it seems that the old man is powerless." ”
The demon wolf's eyes lit up, as if he felt that this old man had a strong mana, if he ate his flesh and blood, then his demon power would increase a lot, and it pounced directly, waving its claws and grabbing at Xuankong's head.
However, halfway to the body was blocked by the invisible enchantment, it turned out that Xuankong used his last mana to set up this enchantment, and he recited the Great Compassion Mantra in the enchantment, this Buddhist scripture has the power to exorcise demons, Xuankong relied on the power of the mind to read word by word, and suddenly the scriptures in the mouth seemed to have become a sharp weapon and hit the demon wolf, as soon as the demon wolf heard this scripture, the blood in the body churned, and the headache was about to burst, it howled in pain, but it was still unwilling to admit defeat, he condensed the strength of his whole body, stabilized his body, It roared at the sky, where it jumped and pounced.
At this time, the demonic qi and the Dharma qi intersected, and the enchantment emitted a lightning-like light, and the two forces were competing at this moment, like lightning and flint colliding.
Although Xuankong's mana should not be underestimated, after all, he is old and frail, how can this newly resurrected demon be so energetic. The speed at which he tossed the Buddha beads became faster and faster, faster and faster, and in the end, the Buddha beads could no longer carry his mana, only to hear a 'bang', the Buddha turned and broke, scattered in all directions, the mana dissipated, and the enchantment was also broken at this moment.
The demon wolf took the opportunity to bite Xuankong's shoulder hard, tore off Xuankong's flesh and skin, Xuankong fell to the ground, looked at the demon wolf standing on his body, opened his right hand, and summoned his last strength, he shouted: "The sea of bitterness is boundless, turning back is the shore, the body can be invaded, and the soul is immortal, do you really want to fall into the sea of suffering, fall into the devil's way, and lose your humanity?" ”
This question echoed the soul of Duju who was oppressed in his body, and the soul of Duju began to gradually wake up, depriving the soul of the demon wolf, the demon wolf seemed to feel the revival of this power in the body, it was afraid of this power, and wanted to eat the flesh and blood of the monk and deprive him of his mana, but if he stayed by the monk's side, the soul of the oppressed human in the body would be sensed and begin to recover, which was extremely dangerous for the demon wolf, it jumped away from the monk and took a few steps back.
Perhaps because of the revival of Duju's soul, the demon wolf at this moment looks extremely painful, facing the master who saved himself and ignited himself, how could he mean to hurt it, but he couldn't do anything, so he had to be suppressed by the demon wolf's soul.
The demon wolf escaped from the temple, penetrated into the secluded mountain jungle, and disappeared into the night.
And Xuankong, who fainted in the main hall, looked at the direction where the demon wolf left, his eyes were full of sadness, he wanted to support his body, but the strength of his whole body seemed to be hollowed out, he couldn't move, he gasped, and whispered: "Ten years of evil obstacles are now fruitful, right and wrong, good and evil thoughts, the soul is in the right shape, how can I be afraid that the demon will be entangled." Your future creation is up to you, and the old man is powerless. When he had finished reading this, he could no longer support him and fainted.
........................
In the middle of the night, the wind howls and wraps around the barren forest like a night ghost. This barren forest is located a hundred miles west of the city, and because it is a place where the bodies of the dead are discarded, there are many ghosts hovering in the middle of the night, so it is usually rarely visited.
The mass grave is in the center of this forest, and many convicted prisoners in Chiyan City have been abandoned here for ten years after being executed, and those who are lucky can also dig a pit for him to bury, and if they are unlucky, they are indeed just discarded indiscriminately, so the flesh and bones are basically eaten by the beasts in this forest. The extent of this mass grave is very large, which shows how many innocent people have died in these decades. Because of this, Luomo and his party did not find his father's bones until late at night.
Luomo was a little sad, thinking that it was already intolerable for his father to be abandoned here, but by now perhaps his bones had been eaten by wild beasts, and Luomo was very sad and angry when he thought of this.
Jielan knew that Luo Mo was very anxious, and couldn't help but feel relieved: "This mass grave is so big, it must take some time to find it, don't worry about it first, let's look for it slowly, even if we can't find it tonight, we can continue to look for it tomorrow." ”
Luo Mo lowered his head, he knew that this was just Jielan's words of relief, it was very difficult to find his father's remains, but he didn't want to show a deflated look, lest these people who accompanied him worry about him.
"It's late at night, and you haven't slept for days and nights, so you don't need to accompany me in this kind of place tonight, it's better to go back to the city court and rest!" Luomo's heart hurt at the moment, he really didn't want Jielan to see his appearance, but just wanted to stay alone in this barren forest, so that even if he didn't find his father's regret, he also hoped to stay here to feel his breath, after all, this is where his father stayed.
