Chapter 81: Into the Devil (6)
It is always difficult to chew fresh human flesh, especially for an old monk with lost teeth, so he chewed very seriously, his thin cheeks kept trembling hard, and the two completely different feelings of joy and sorrow and greed and gore kept changing in those eyes that were still as indifferent as a spring lake.
As the flesh and blood that had been chewed into a paste were swallowed into the abdomen and absorbed, the old monk's deep-set eye sockets gradually became more energetic, his thin and shriveled cheeks gradually plumped, and his withered face gradually revealed more intense vitality.
The girl's forearm was like a white lotus chrysanthemum that had been washed away by the lake, and with that palpitating hissing sound, a piece of flesh was gnawed alive. Blood flowed down the wound, and her face was pale but her lips were pursed fiercely, refusing to let out a cry of pain.
The old monk stretched out the tip of his blackened tongue to lick the blood from the corner of his lips, but his face still maintained a compassionate and sympathetic expression, but the more this was so, the more chilling the contrast became.
Ning Que looked at this scene, his body was cold, the development of the situation was too unexpected, neither he nor Ye Hongyu would have thought that Master Liansheng, who was known for his noble virtues, would be such a feared demon, the most important thing was that the aura exuded by the old monk before was so pure and compassionate, that is, he had hidden doubts in his heart, but he was not willing to doubt this old monk instinctively.
There was still condensed serum on his wrinkled face, and Master Rinpoche, who had swallowed that mouthful of flesh and blood into his abdomen, seemed to have re-become the great Buddha who was highly respected and compassionate to the world in an instant. He looked at Ye Hongyu under the palm of his hand, looked at the despair and resentful curse in the girl's eyes, stretched out his fingers and slowly slid over her delicate face, and said, "So cute, how can I do this to you?"
Ye Hongyu was restrained in the sea, her body lost control, but her consciousness and perception were still keen, she could clearly feel that she was getting weaker and weaker, and she felt that the thin fingers on her face were as cold and terrifying as a snake letter.
"Why did I do this? Why didn't I resist the temptation of blood food?"
The old monk's eyes became a little hollow, a little confused, he muttered to himself, and suddenly laughed at himself and shook his head and said with emotion: "At a glance, the two children in the Cave Xuan Realm are still alive, and it took decades to condense such a little bit of mental power to be consumed, Liansheng, you are too weak now." ”
His expression returned to calm, and he gently explained to himself and the young man in the room, "I have been struggling on the brink of life and death for decades, and I could die at any time, so I must eat something." ”
The tone of the explanation was very ordinary and natural, but it was extremely cold in the ears of Ning Que and the others.
Ning Que was already able to confirm at this time that Junior Uncle had broken through the Demon Sect's mountain gate decades ago and somehow did not kill this person, but used a great ban to lock him up here, leaving him with the pain of decades of loneliness and hunger.
Decades have passed, no matter how profound and powerful this old monk's realm is, he can't withstand such an inhuman torment, and he is about to die when he runs out of oil, so at this time, in response to the cyclical changes of the sky, the Demon Sect Mountain Gate reopened and the three of them came by mistake, which became the best hope for the other party to get out of trouble.
As a result, there were so many discussions on the Tao before, and the old monk used the side of compassion like a Buddha to let the three of them gradually relax their vigilance and hatred until they used the mantle as a great temptation to bewitch, so that the Taoist idiot opened up the spiritual world and was subject to control.
Ning Que frowned and said: "Whether it is Master Lotus Sheng or Lotus Divine Seat, they both have supreme prestige in the cultivation world, I have never heard of your name, but these two girls bowed and kowtowed when they saw your face, obviously trusting you very much, you can wait for us to rescue you, why do you have to take such risks?"
The old monk smiled and said: "Because you can't unlock this formation, only I who have recovered my strength can break through this cage, and if I want to recover my strength, I must eat you." ”
"We can't break this cage, but our elders can. ”
The old monk laughed and said: "The world can break through the cage set up by the madman himself, except for me, there are only a few people in Liao Liao, and there are indeed people among your elders who can, but unfortunately this Liao Liao and several people know the story of the year and know my secrets, if they know that I am still alive, they will definitely not choose to save me, but will not hesitate to let half of the world accompany me to destroy the funeral, but also kill me and then break my bones and ashes." ”
Ning Que was stunned, and then said, "It seems that you are really not a likable person. ”
The old monk sighed and continued: "After so many years with the corpse and bones, in fact, the hope of leaving has long been broken in my heart, but I didn't expect that the mountain gate would be reopened on this day, and I didn't expect that the first batch of people to enter the mountain gate were three cute and just right children. I guess that's just fate. ”
Ning Que was silent, thinking that the three idiots in the world plus himself, a disciple on the second floor of the academy, were probably qualified to set off a few storms in today's cultivation world, but in the eyes of this previous generation of powerhouses, they were just three cute and chacha children, and time and things were really the most important factors for cultivators.
"I really don't have much mental power accumulated over the past few decades, from the beginning of your entry into the temple, I began to use the Buddhist Sect Asking the Heart Method, I thought that you were the weakest among the three, and you should be the first to enter the illusion and it was difficult to get out, but I didn't expect that in the end, you alone maintained a clear state of mind, I am curious about how you did it. ”
The old monk looked at him and smiled and said, although the description is still thin and ugly, but the chic and proud atmosphere that looks down on the common people is obvious, just like a vain person who sits and talks about the Tao with a wine jug.
Ning Que guessed that he should be in a hurry to absorb the blood food in his abdomen at this time, and he didn't break it, and kept relaxing and tightening every subtle muscle in his body at a high frequency, and replied, "Probably because the temptation you gave was not enough." ”
The old monk frowned slightly, looked at him and asked, "Isn't my mantle attractive to you?"
Ning Que sneered and said, "Of course I yearn for power, but it has to be true." ”
The old monk smiled and said: "The Tao and the devil are connected to the gods, which I have realized for many years, and I have never lied to you." ”
Ning Que was slightly stunned and said, "But that still needs to be demonized first." ”
The old monk looked at the local chicken in the fence like a goshawk in the blue sky, looked at him indifferently and said: "I said before that the academy is really not as good as the generation, and the word "demon" can scare you like this. ”
Ning Que shook his head and said: "If it is a need before life and death, what is the point of entering the demon, but first of all, it must be my own willingness, and I can't have a heart of doubt, otherwise what is the value of being a god? ”
There is contempt and disdain in these words.
At this time, Liansheng was not a great monk, but a chic and even domineering madman, squinting his eyes slightly and mocking in displeasure: "Is there anything in the world that can be more attractive than my mantle?"
Ning Que suddenly laughed: "I am a disciple on the second floor of the academy, and I am the one who will inherit the mantle of the master in the future, even if I become a demon, I can also learn what the little uncle left behind, I think this and the weight should be heavier." ”
When the old monk heard this, he was speechless for a while, even if he was so proud that he regarded the three sects of Taoism, Buddhism and Demons in the world as broken shoes, he didn't dare to think that he was higher than the master, and Ke Haoran, the enemy of his life, left him with endless humiliation and pain.
"And I've never met a truly selfless person in my life, and I always thought that there wouldn't be a bowl of fragrant omelettemen on the table, so the more compassionate and touching you were before, the more uncomfortable I felt in my heart. ”
Ning Que continued: "I'm curious about the stories you told earlier, which ones are true, or are they all ghost stories that you told specifically to unload our defenses?"
There is the shadow of the little uncle in those stories, so he cares about it very much, but the old monk who sits on the bone mountain, and the young man who sits on the ground is obviously in a big crisis of life and death, but he is very idle and talks about these gossip, this picture can't help but look a little weird.
The old monk said with a look of compassion on his face: "The stories I told before are true, but some key points have not been explained thoroughly, the blood is washed and rotten Ke Temple is the beautiful dancing girl I single-handedly planned and finally sucked into a dried corpse by me, her face after death is very pale and almost transparent, but it is very strange that her white and transparent face still has a sweet smile, as if asking me why I did this."
He looked at Ning Que and said calmly: "I was very scared of the smile on her face, and I couldn't erase it with my hands, so I finally cut her into pieces and ate them into my stomach, and that was the first time I ate a person." ”
Ning Que was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Who is that dancing girl?"
The old monk smiled and said, "If you want to turn Ke Haoran into a madman, it will be natural for him to die." ”
Ning Que was silent for a longer time when he heard this ding, and asked, "Is it just to provoke a war between the academy and the temple?" or is it for some other reason?"
The old monk was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly: "There is no other reason, but this matter was finally recognized by Ke Haoran, and Wei Guangming, an elm pimple, did not know how to begin to doubt my identity, so I had to quietly leave Taoshan alone and escape back to the Demon Sect Mountain Gate. ”
Listening to the other party's increasingly turbid breath, Ning Que confirmed that this former immortal powerhouse, after being imprisoned by Uncle Xiao for decades, his vitality was about to be extinct, if he fought head-on, it could not be the opponent of the three of them, this person had set up such a situation in such a short period of time, and he was indeed a thoughtful and terrifying character.
However, I thought that decades ago, this person traversed the three sects of Buddhism, Taoism and Demons, and finally almost provoked the splits of the various sects, making the whole ...... The world is plunged into a bloody hell, and it is only natural that a person with such great ability can deal with the three of them like a knife against a chicken, and easily put himself in such a desperate and dangerous situation.
Ning Que looked at the old monk and asked his real question: "Whether you are in the Tao, the devil or the Buddha, you are a highly respected person, no matter how you choose your position or even don't choose, you can become a legend left in the annals of history, but you chose the bloodiest and most boring path, why? Why do you have to be the enemy of this world?"
This sounds familiar. The old monk looked at him and said slowly: "Many years ago, Wei Guangming often introspected himself like this, he did not hesitate to be the enemy of the whole world because he firmly believed that he was right, and I was different. My reason for being an enemy of the world is simple, because I know that the world is wrong. ”
