Chapter 308: Lotus Town
Lotus Town, as a town that was once off the beaten track, is now ushering in a real liveliness. However, no one dares to enter.
The reason is simple.
This town, it's so weird.
Lotus Town is located in a valley shaped like a lotus flower, and the connection between the inside and outside of the valley is a small road that the townspeople have voluntarily prevented from opening up.
But the road had apparently been abandoned for a long time, overgrown with weeds and potholes, and there was even an empty inn next to it, with broken doors and windows, rotten window paper, and moth-ridden beams. No matter how you look at it, this is a wasteland that has been abandoned.
However, such a scene can only be seen in the middle of the night.
And the moment the sun slowly rises over the horizon and the first rays of sunlight fall on the road, it all melts and disappears in the sunlight.
Instead, neat and clean roads.
A bustling inn.
There were also caravans, caravans, coming slowly from the end of the road. All of these carriages and horses stopped in front of the inn, almost surrounding the inn.
"If you want to talk about the business in this Lotus Town, it's still selling tea!"
"Nonsense, you don't know that there is a special product in Lotus Town, called Red Heart Lotus, which has a miraculous effect on the injuries of warriors, and selling these specialties is the way to make money!"
"It's small, it's small!"
"Do you do business? We do darts! You must know that in a place like Lotus Town, where the mountains and rivers are bad, it is easy to make trouble, and no matter how many things you sell. Without the protection of our dart bureau, maybe one day you will run into a bandit and slaughter you directly, and finally end up with no money and no money. ”
"You're doing a dart game, coincidentally, I'm a thief!"
"What!?"
In the inn, people from all walks of life from the south to the north are holding wine bowls one by one, staggering, and the atmosphere is extremely lively, which looks very normal.
"Six doors to solve the case! I don't care about you! ”
In an instant, I saw a commotion in the inn, and then I saw a man in a black and red official uniform walking out of the crowd, and the knife in his hand was pointed at the strong man who said that he was a "bandit" just now.
"Yo? Black skin? ”
In the face of this six-door catch, the strong man was not afraid: "Do you think you are very good? Xiao Qi San, I am the little leader of Black Wind Village. ”
"Presumptuous!"
"Look for death!"
In the next second, as if it was a big show, the surrounding spectators pulled the tables and chairs and quickly retreated, vacating a place in the middle. And the catcher and the bandit fought in the open space, and for a while the sword light was horizontal, babbling and babbling, and the spectators next to him were still applauding.
And so it went on for a while.
I saw that the catcher roared angrily, and the knife in his hand slashed through a perfect arc, slashing at the thief's neck, spilling a line of blood.
"Enemy thief, bestow the head!"
The headless corpse fell to the ground, bleeding all over the ground, and instead of panicking, the surrounding spectators frantically scattered coins on the winning catcher.
It wasn't until this moment that the inn finally became a little weird.
At the same time, outside the inn, several men in gray coarse cloth clothes looked at the inn with a look of jealousy: "Sure enough, here it is again." ”
"This is the eighth time Lao Tzu has seen this picture."
"Every morning, there is a play like this. In the evening, the inn will change back to its original appearance. This place is also a little more evil. ”
"Grandma drops."
"Seeing that the catcher of the six doors is fast, he was sent by the six doors to explore the way before, and he entered the town after the inn, but the catcher of the next day was replaced by him."
"And that bandit, he is not the little boss of Black Wind Village, he is the big boss of Black Wind Village, and as a result, he entered the town and became one of the characters, appearing every day, being cut off his head, and then appearing again the next day, like a nobody, I don't know how many times he died."
"So now everyone is outside the town and they don't dare to go in."
"If you want me to say, that dragon crushing old mother is worthy of the realm of heaven and man, obviously it has been sealed, and the aftermath of the leak actually has such magical powers."
"yes, it's horrible."
"But don't think too much, these days are all of us who have no door and no faction, and those who really have no background haven't come here yet."
"That's right."
"Not to mention anything else, the people of Huangjue Temple and Heavenly Master's Mansion must have a way to deal with this strange situation. I even suspect that's what they set it up. ”
"yes."
Soon, the sun sets and the moon rises, and the time changes. With the arrival of night, the original noisy inn finally gradually returned to its original desolate appearance.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
Several Jianghu people immediately shouted when they saw this. Under their gaze, the pedestrians and traders in the inn began to disappear, and the color also turned gray-white, as if a curtain had been lifted, revealing the reality below. Seeing this scene, everyone immediately got up.
"It's now!"
"If you go in during the day, you'll only become a character in those inns. So you can only go in before the sun rises and they disappear. ”
"Quick!" The people of the rivers and lakes quickly ran along the road into Lotus Town.
And their figures, in the process of running, gradually turned gray, gradually became illusory, and finally disappeared like an inn.
All that remained was their excited chanting:
"Supreme Divine Pill, it's mine!"
"Hahaha!"
——
Then, the gray-white change continued, not to mention the inn, and even the grassy road began to fade away.
“.!!!”
On the grass, Luo Ritian opened his eyes in horror. There is nothing in front of you, where is the road? Where is the inn? There is only one stone wall.
Everything has a way, like a dream bubble.
Like a dream, like an illusion, like dew or like electricity.
"It's."
Luo Ritian looked at the stone wall in front of him, but saw that it was actually reflecting the Buddha's light flashing "Om, Ma, Well, Horn, Mi, Ng" Buddhist seven-character mantra.
"This is the seal left by the monk."
Beside Luo Ritian, he calmly explained in a tone of the Brave God Marquis: "Since you have chosen to set Lotus Town as a seal, how can you leave a path to the outside world? ”
"Twenty years ago, that road was bulldozed and blocked."
"The one who made the move is the monk."
"Whether it's the inn road during the day, or the desolate wilderness at night, it's an illusion. Entering during the day will become one of the plays in the inn. And if you enter at night, you will become a self-righteous 'real person' outside the inn. In this way, the monk put an end to the inside and outside of the town. ”
"That's amazing."
Luo Ritian's eyes widened when he heard this, even if he had an unruly personality, he still felt a deep shock in the face of such a strange method.
"It's amazing."
Zhao Dan Shenhou nodded: "Buddhism and Taoism have been able to stand in Shenzhou for so many years, and the background is not comparable to that of other sects. ”
"The same is true of the Heavenly Master and the Nyorai Monk."
"Don't look at me, I'm a celestial like them, and I'm even in the Tribulation Realm, and I haven't condensed the Dao Fruit, but I asked myself if I can't survive a hundred moves in their hands and I have to escape."
"If it weren't for that, how could the Dragon Suppressor Mother be sealed."
"What then?" Luo Ritian said curiously: "If you can't get in during the day, and if you can't enter at night, isn't this Lotus Town impossible to enter and exit at all?" ”
"There are still solutions."
Zhao Dan Shenhou shook his head and said: "Buddhism pays attention to 'seeing through', so if you want to enter Lotus Town, you must first enter this illusion and 'see through' the illusion." This is the only way to find the real way to Lotus Town. That's why I'll take you to see this illusion from the outside. ”
"With this experience, you know it's all fake."
"In this way, it will be easier to see through."
"I understand" Luo Ritian nodded when he heard this: "If I haven't seen through it"
"Then die inside." Zhao Dare Shenhou said indifferently, but quickly slowed down his tone: "But I believe you will not disappoint me." ”
