Chapter 9: The Shadow

Wang Lung's conjecture was indeed not a problem, in fact, he had already thought of smearing his own blood on the temple door when he had just entered the Pure Land and could not push open the temple door with brute force, but it was a pity that he didn't pay as much attention to the temple gate as he did now, and he didn't know where to smear it.

At first, the doors of the three halls could not be opened, and Wang Lung wanted to apply blood to them, but he didn't know how to apply it, let alone where to apply it, in case it was painted wrongly, and it would be troublesome if it triggered some hidden prohibitions.

Now Wang Lung found that the door nail on the temple door was a little different, especially the middle door nail was split in two, which made him immediately think about the use of his blood.

Entering the Pure Land requires one's own blood to stimulate the teleportation array, and this place can only be entered by people who are related to oneself by blood, and it is obvious that the secret that exists here is related to Wang Long's life experience, and it may also be that this Pure Land was built by his father or ancestors.

With Wang Lung's current cultivation, there are some things that he can't touch, if he knows everything, the old ghost and the others don't need to hide it from him, Wang Lung knows this very well, so sometimes when his questions can't get a clear answer, Wang Lung won't ask them.

Unfortunately, this time Wang Lung will be wrong about Arlinn, Arlinn just asked Wang Lung to go to the Pure Land and successfully plant a hundred moon shame, everything in the Pure Land is not what Wang Lung should know now, although Arlinn has her own purpose, but she doesn't want Wang Lung to cause trouble.

In his opinion, he is already in the Pure Land, and if he can open the doors of the three palaces, some of his confusion may be solved, and what Wang Lung needs most now is not to know his background, but to water the water of Baiyue's shame.

Wang Lung tried to open the door just to find water, and now that the temple door has the hope of opening, the water matter was left behind by Wang Lung. The desire for his own life has made Wang Lung unable to extricate himself.

Stretching out the index finger of his right hand, Wang Lung gently stroked it along the gap of the broken door nail, and his eyes got closer to take a closer look, and Wang Lung found that the so-called door crack was not divided into two from the middle, and the gap between the door nails was very small. The naked eye can see that the inside is not completely disconnected.

It seems that his guess is indeed correct, as long as he injects his own blood into the crack and makes the entire gap stained with blood, then the door of this temple may be opened.

It's just a possibility, what kind of reaction will be after the injection of blood, Wang Lung doesn't know for the time being, but his own blood can be used as a guide, and it is not surprising that anything will be sent next, maybe it will be like Arlinn's some kind of legal decision.

If you drip blood, this first step will not be possible. Wang Lung will not be willing, in case it can be opened with only a drop of blood, isn't it very simple, thinking of this, Wang Lung breathed a long sigh of relief, clasped a door nail with his left hand, and his body reached the top of the temple door.

The Dragon King Hall is very magnificent, and only the palace door is two zhang high. If you want to apply blood all over the gaps, you must apply it from the top down. With the size of the king dragon, he had to climb the door nail to the top of the temple gate and smear it.

At the top of the temple door above his head, his left hand was on the door nail, Wang Lung stretched out his right thumb and index finger, and with a slight force on his thumb, a drop of bright red blood oozed out from the tip of his index finger. Wang Lung looked at the drop of blood, and hesitated slightly.

I can't guarantee whether the temple door will be opened after this drop of blood, and if only blood can open the temple door. What should happen to unpredictable dangers, but Wang Lung thinks about it, Arlinn has said that as long as he doesn't leave the Pure Land too far, he shouldn't be in any danger, and the danger comes from outside the Pure Land.

After thinking about it, Wang Long's movements on his hand no longer hesitated, and the blood droplets on the tip of his index finger dripped down the slit.

Wang Lung thought that a drop of blood was definitely not enough, at least the gap had to be smeared completely before it was possible to open the temple door, as if his index finger had just touched the gap, as if it was sticking to it, his body twitched for no reason, and he felt that the blood in his body seemed to have found a vent, and it gushed out frantically along the rupture of his index finger.

This discovery surprised Wang Lung greatly, and he wanted to move his index finger away, but he didn't think that the index finger and the gap seemed to be one, and he couldn't pull it out, and the blood on the tip of the index finger was still flowing out, and after the gap was contaminated with his blood, the speed of its spread was very slow, and a red blood line began to flow along the gap, and its speed was like a snail crawling slowly.

Wang Lung smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect this to be the case, if the two-zhang long gap was filled by the blood itself, according to the current speed of blood flow in the body, let alone fill the gap, I am afraid that all the blood in his body may not fill half of it, but his fingers can't leave the gap at all.

As time passed, Wang Lung felt that he was in a trance, his heart was impetuous, and his blood was not smooth, he knew that this was the result of a serious blood loss in his body, and this was just the beginning, and the more he got there, he would gradually fall into a coma, and then his blood would dry up and die.

Although Wang Lung was terrified in his heart, he also knew that he was struggling, but unfortunately he tried his best, but he couldn't move his fingers away from the gap in the slightest, and the speed of blood flowing all over his body was still slowly increasing.

Wang Lung fell into despair, no one could hear even shouting for help, this was a pure land, not anyone could enter, even if he was as strong as Arlinn or the old ghost, he didn't want to get here, no one came to help him, he was the only one struggling.

Just when Wang Lung was at a loss, the old ghost and Xue Tian were chatting in the cave, and the topic of conversation between the two happened to be Wang Lung and the Pure Land, they knew the details of the Pure Land, and they also knew the purpose of Arlinn letting Wang Lung enter the Pure Land, but they didn't know what kind of trouble Wang Lung would cause in the Pure Land, if Wang Lung honestly planted Baiyue Shame, it would be okay, in case something went wrong, they would not be able to explain.

Just as the old ghost brothers feared, Wang Lung's fate was now on the line, and they didn't know anything.

Just when the old ghost brothers were chatting energetically, an angry shout came into their ears: "Who let Xiaolong go to the Pure Land?"

This explosion shook the old ghost brothers' eardrums, and even so, they didn't dare to get angry, because they had already heard the person who spoke, and the two looked around in fear, and in a moment they saw a figure appear in front of them.

The old ghost brothers were startled, and quickly bowed their heads and said, "Meet the ancestor." ”

"Less nonsense. Hurry up, who told Xiaolong to go to the Pure Land, don't you know the prohibition of the Pure Land?"

As for how he knew that Wang Lung had entered the Pure Land, it was not difficult to find that both of them knew that Arlinn had secretly let Wang Lung into it. As an ancestor, he must have his own way to know everything, and the only thing that the old ghost brothers don't understand is why this ancestor came so quickly, looking at his appearance, it was actually the real person.

The old ghost brothers glanced at each other, and both saw helplessness on each other's faces, Xue Tian sighed lightly and said, "Enlighten Ancestor, it was Arlinn who let Xiaolong enter the Pure Land. We knew it was too late to stop it. ”

"Arlinn's girl?alas, why is that girl so persistent, is the Pure Land that Xiaolong can enter now, if I hadn't been in a hurry, that stinky boy would have died. Old Ancestor said helplessly.

The old ghost was stunned and asked, "Old Ancestor, how is Xiaolong, how can he encounter a crisis in the Pure Land." Did he come out of the Pure Land?"

Old Ancestor shook his head and said, "He didn't come out of the Pure Land, but that stupid boy is too curious. Alas, now I don't have to say more, anyway, Xiaolong is riding a tiger now, if I hadn't rushed back, that stupid boy was afraid that he would have become a human being, and you don't know. ”

Xue Tian's eyes widened and asked, "Could it be that Xiaolong opened the door of the temple with his own blood?"

Seeing the old ancestor nodding, the old ghost pounced and knelt on the ground. Kowtowed like pounding garlic and pleaded: "I beg the ancestor to save the little dragon quickly, the little dragon does not know the depth, vainly trying to open the temple door, and asking the ancestor to forgive his sins." ”

The ancestor waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let that stinky boy suffer a little more." So that he knows that he is powerful, and next time he dares to come nonsense, to see if anyone can save him, he is really the same as his father, and he never thinks about the consequences when he does things. ”

In the face of the ancestor's complaints, the old ghost brothers did not dare to interject, so they could only stand aside and listen respectfully, and after the ancestor finished speaking, he realized that what he had said was a little too much, and he coughed lightly and continued: "Xuetian, you go and call Arlinn for me, I have something to ask her." ”

Xue Tian bowed slightly and retreated, the Ancestor clearly wanted to talk to Xue Ren alone, with their current cultivation, a single divine thought could summon Arlinn over, without having to make a trip himself, which was obviously to break him away.

Xue Tian is not angry about this, for Wang Lung, Xue Tian is not as good as the old ghost, after all, Wang Lung was brought up by the old ghost, although there is no blood relationship between them, but the old ghost cares about Wang Lung more than anyone else, and there are some hidden topics, so naturally he has to avoid him.

After Xuetian withdrew, the old ancestor sighed and said, "Xiaolong, that kid can have today, I want to thank you." ”

The old ghost hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "Please also ask the ancestor to retract this words, the younger generation can't afford it." ”

Old Ancestor said: "What can't you afford, if it weren't for your original insistence on letting Xiaolong live on Earth, how could it be like today, if he is still in the miracle space, that is, a man who relies on his father's shadow, over the years, I have seen many young people like Xiaolong, arrogant and domineering, doing all kinds of evil, alas! ”

The old ghost didn't dare to answer when he heard this, so he had to stand with his head down, and after the old ancestor finished speaking, he seemed to remember some sad past, and the two fell into a short silence.

After a long time, the ancestor sighed lightly and said: "I know that I have suffered you all these years, Xin'er has always been obsessed with Xiaolong's affairs, although I have mediated it, but Xin'er has never been able to let go, you don't care, she is also a mother." ”

The old ghost said: "It was I who broke my oath back then to cause the current result, and I don't blame anyone." ”

The ancestor shook his head and said: "The oath is just a sentence, Xin'er only made you make a verbal promise at that time, although Xin'er has not seen Xiaolong over the years, but what kind of situation Xiaolong is, Xin'er knows better than anyone else." ”

The old ghost had to defend something, and the old ancestor raised his hand to block it: "Don't say it yet, let Xuetian come in, I'll go see that stinky boy first, and if it's too late, I'm afraid I'm going to die." ”

After the old ancestor finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the old ghost, and directly closed his eyes, and when the old ghost saw this, he bowed slightly, turned around and walked out.

At this moment, Wang Lung felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred, he knew very well that at least more than thirty percent of the blood in his body had passed, if it was an ordinary person, he would have passed out long ago, and even if he was rescued, he would become a waste.

Just when Wang Lung lamented the unfairness of fate, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in his sight, the shadow seemed to be magnified from his body, Wang Lung thought it was his own illusion, but soon he found that his index finger that could not be pulled out on the gap seemed to be a little loose, and his fingers could move again, this feeling made me unbelievable, like a dream, he clenched his fist hard, only to find that it was not an illusion, but a real feeling.

Wang Lung ignored the shadow, and looked at the gap in a daze, the blood line did not even fill one-fifth of the entire gap, and he didn't understand why his fingers suddenly fell off.

Just when Wang Lung was puzzled, a soft sigh came into his ears, this voice seemed to be near and far away, but Wang Lung heard it very clearly.

Wang Lung just wanted to look up to see who was sighing beside him, but suddenly there was a feeling of hanging in the air, although this feeling came quickly, but it disappeared very quickly, only to hear a bang, Wang Lung knew that because of excessive blood loss, he had no strength in his hand, and he couldn't grasp the door nail, and he fell to the ground solidly.

Perhaps it was that soft sigh that attracted most of Wang Lung's attention, after his body landed, Wang Lung did not feel much pain, he tried to raise his eyelids, only to see a huge black shadow appear in front of him, judging from the appearance, it seems to be a person, but there are no facial features.

Wang Lung wasn't sure who the black shadow was, if it was his own shadow, Wang Lung didn't believe it, even if he was inside the sun, the shadow couldn't be so tall, could it be that there was a majestic figure behind him, it was the other party who saved him. (To be continued......)
