Chapter 208: The Light of Darkness
Peach Blossom Island, southeast of Anqi Mountain, is a thousand-meter-high cliff. Because this cliff is from the top down, sloping inward, it is difficult for ordinary people to notice, and at the bottom of the cliff, there is a small hole that is flooded by the sea from time to time.
And some of the old fishermen who knew it, when they sailed, also bypassed this place from a distance. Because this cave has a name, it is called the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave. With such a terrain, it does not see the light of day all year round, and it is extremely cold and dark, and it is most popular with those water snakes and other poisons. Moreover, according to the rules for many years, if a fisherman is swept into this place by a storm, those monks on Peach Blossom Island will not only not save him, but will detain a boatload of goods, saying that he has trespassed into the forbidden land and should be punished. So, over time, this place really became a forbidden place.
Maybe there are too many people dead here, and when the wind and waves are strong, someone stands on top of the cliff and seems to hear a miserable wail from below. Therefore, even those soldiers who patrol the island do not want to be sent to the cliff to be on duty. This situation is even more prominent after the East China Sea has now become a sea of blood, and the new island owner, Liu Island, in order to stabilize the order on the island, has thrown dozens of "troublemakers" from the bottom of the cliff one after another.
At this moment, the two unfortunate soldiers, far away from the edge of the cliff, found a flat place to sit down, threw aside the heavy steel knives, lit a bonfire, each holding a jar of wine, and poured it into his mouth, while grabbing the live fish and shrimp from a large tank with his hands and stuffing them into his mouth. After a while, the mouth, the wine jar, and the water tank were all red and blood-red.
The two soldiers, at the end of the shout, were full of wine and blood, and their courage seemed to have increased, and their appearance seemed to be fierce, as if in this world, there was only fear of them, and there was nothing they were afraid of.
So, they started bragging about it*. This one said that he had seen the big island master, and with a wave of the jade sword, the entire East China Sea was divided into two, and that said that he once went to sea with Miss Guo, and that the country was fragrant, the flowers and the moon were beautiful, and the fairy demeanor. This whispered, Long Qian, the disciple of the three island masters, is fighting everywhere in Dongying Fusang, or it won't be long before the entire Dongying is the East Sea Demon Alliance, and then the time will kill the mainland, hehe; that haha laughed, and said mysteriously, now that the Lushan Heavenly Gate is open, it won't be long before the three island masters will fly to the fairy world, and when the time comes, the East China Sea Demon Alliance will be renamed Penglai Immortal Sect......
Suddenly, there was a whining sound from below the cliff. The two of them were taken aback and shivered. Fortunately, the whining sound sounded a few times before disappearing. The two pointed at each other, laughing at each other's timidity, and they were about to pee their pants.
In the end, the two of them began to drink again.
"Oh, Xue Er, let's be serious. Yesterday, the son of a large family was imprisoned. You, do you know?" one of them burped and stared straight at the person across from him, with red eyes.
"I know, why don't I know! Shen Gongzi...... Zhoushan Shen family, that also. It's also a big deal...... By the way, Zhao Laosi, Shen Gongzi, do you know. Who is it?" Xue Lao Er asked with a shake of his head.
"Who?. Locked up in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes. Who else could it be?" Zhao Laosi put his hand into the blood-red water tank, "Don't you know that the little woman who was arrested with him was opened by the island owner that day, and she was going to die or live, and she couldn't persuade her, and finally bit her tongue and committed suicide." ”
"You know the! There's this. There is something to say. "Xue Laosi, snatched a tofu fish that Zhao Laosi had just fished out of the water tank.
"What do you say?!。 Xue Laosan, you. If you don't make it clear, this tofu fish today. Don't want to eat for nothing!"
"That little mother-in-law is also from the Jiang family in Zhoushan, big. Big. Small. Sister. We...... Guys, islands. The lord was originally going to be used as the wife of the village and the Jiang family. The son-in-law of the Jiang family. When the time comes, the huge family business ...... That...... It's all us...... The Lord's!"
"......I see," Zhao Laosi, his eyes shone brightly, as if the Jiang family's huge family business was all under his own name at this moment tonight, "In this way, if the island owner doesn't kill the weak Shen family scholar and lock him up, he also wants the Shen family to take money to ransom him." ”
Tofu fish, the fish is tender, the bones are soft and fine, Xue Laosan stuffed it into his mouth, snorted, and swallowed it, "How can we guess the thoughts of the island owner? In my opinion, I can't make it through tonight. ”
On the cliff, the cold wind gusted, but it blew the two of them a little sober.
Xue Laosan and Zhao Laosi glanced at the cliff from a distance, then stopped the topic of taboo and began to drink.
The Shen Gongzi mentioned by these two people, Shen Changqi, is lying under the cliff at the moment, in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
The surrounding side was dark, and from time to time there was a cold, fishy sea, rushing into the cave, rushing Shen Changqi to the rocks behind him, and then rolling into the air. When the sea receded, Shen Changqi rolled down to the mouth of the cave. At the entrance of the cave, the dozen wrist-thick deep-sea dark iron pillars were densely erected. For Shen Changqi, the confined thing has now become a life-saving thing. Otherwise, it would have been swept away by the waves, and I don't know where it was washed away or where it sank.
But all this, for Shen Changqi himself, seems to have little meaning. For his heart was as dead as ashes, and there were many water snakes entangled in his body, and mountain rats crawling. If it weren't for the destruction of Dongji Island, there was a sea of blood everywhere, and those water snakes would have bitten and sucked it to the point that only a pair of white bones remained.
As for Xue Laosan's incomprehensible reason, why the island owner asked for the ransom of the Shen family in Zhoushan, but put it here, Shen Changqi always remembered.
It's not just remembering, but it's actually only a memory of it in his mind.
Ever since he was caught by Liu Dahan, he has questioned him loudly. No matter how you say it, they are all the same door, why do you Liu Dahan dare to act like this? Could it be that the rules set by the three island masters of Dongji Island, he, Liu Dahan, a little mortal monk, also dare to violate them?
Liu Dahan's answer, Shen Changqi still remembers it clearly, word by word, like an immortal flying sword, circling and flying in his mind.
"Senior Brother Shen! I still call you Senior Brother Shen! You still don't understand?! The three island masters took your master to Lushan and will never come back!"
"What?!Don't you believe it? Then you see if Dongji Island is still there?! What does the East China Sea look like now?"
"Lao Tzu tells you, the latest news, Lushan is now heavily prohibited, and there is no real person to cultivate, so you can't enter or exit at all!
"Dongji Island, the Ten Thousand Demon Tu Yuan Blood Sea Array, forcibly extracts the spiritual power of the demons on the island and uses it against the enemy. Today, the island has sunk and the sea is red. You still can't understand the thoughts of the three island masters!?"
He was agitated and disheartened when he heard it, but Liu Dahan became more and more excited the more he spoke. When he got to the back, he seemed to be crazy, and yelled at himself, "What kind of demons don't distinguish between them, they don't treat everyone equally, and when they get to the back, don't they take care of each other? Dongji Island is no longer there, and you still talk to me about the same friendship? Go to TM, Lao Tzu is the king of the mountain on the island, and you human beings don't want to think about it!"
Shen Changqi looked at Liu Dahan, who was already a little crazy, and said, "Shen happened to meet a real monk a few days ago, and speaking of which, you probably know each other." This real monk is a member of the Buddhist sect, and his Dharma name is Wuxu. ”
"Wuxu, but the master of Wuxu who cultivated the Mandala Dharma Realm, and went down to Lushan under the order of the two true spirits of Ba Si Pa and Yuan Fa?" Liu Dahan calmed down slightly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to fall into a brief memory.
Shen Changqi nodded, "Exactly! A few days ago, we arrived at our fleet and wanted to go up the river." ”
"That Master Wuxu, where is he now?" Liu Dahan's face was uncertain.
He saw that the East Pole Island Island Protection Array was opened, so he broke in. Now...... Now, Shen doesn't know where he is. Shen Changqi thought about it and said abruptly.
"What is the possibility of surviving the Ten Thousand Demon Tu Yuan Blood Sea Array jointly laid out by the three island masters?!" Liu Dahan heard Shen Changqi say this, and couldn't help but jump like thunder, and then laughed angrily, pointed to Shen Changqi Mountain, and said three good words in a row, "Good! good!"
"Senior Brother Shen's cultivation is completely lost at the moment, and he is still thinking about going up to Lushan Mountain and flying to the upper realm! Lao Tzu will fulfill you! Come on!" Liu Dahan shouted violently, and several demon beasts stepped forward.
"Throw him into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave! I want to see if he is a wasted person, whether he will have no bones left tomorrow, or he will go up to Lushan Mountain and fly to the upper realm!" ......
Mountain rats, water snakes, Shen Changqi's body has been bitten into a human shape, if it weren't for the cold sea water, I am afraid that he would have no sense of survival at all!
But what is the value and significance of such a sense of survival?
Sometimes, Shen Changqi wanted to scream in pain, and sometimes, like a puppet, even if the snake and rat were entangled, crawling, biting, and gnawing on himself.
Even sometimes, Shen Changqi wanted to laugh. As soon as he thought of Liu Dahan, because he couldn't go to Lushan, because Dongji Island was silent, because he felt abandoned, because he no longer had any hope for cultivation, and because he was angry and hoarse, Shen Changqi wanted to laugh. In particular, he heard that the Wuxu monk appeared in his fleet, and as a result, he broke into the Ten Thousand Demon Tu Yuan Blood Sea Array, and that kind of look was constantly changing. When Shen Changqi saw it, he knew that Liu Dahan was actually the same as himself, with the same broken Dao heart, the same disillusionment, the same sea of suffering, the same snake bite and rat gnaw, and he could not be liberated if he did not die......
A wave hit, still cold. The rats and water snakes on Shen Changqi's body also seemed to be unable to resist the coldness and impact, and they left with a swish, and then patiently waited for the tide to recede.
Woo-woo-woo in the middle of the waves, a conch was washed over.
In the dark cavern, a bright light suddenly rose.
This light did not come from the thick iron gate at the highest point of the stone wall behind the cave, nor did it come from the vast galaxy that was brilliant and brilliant in the sky.
This light rises inexplicably, according to the Buddhist metaphor, it seems that the heart is moved and the thought is ignorant.
In the so-called cliff near the sea and secluded cave, snakes bite rats and gnaw this body.
The heart of the Tao is broken, and ignorance is born, and the thoughts of eternal suffering are endless.
