Volume 2 Eastward Journey Chapter 8 I Want to Be Holy
The lush trees surged, and vines poked out from the depths of the mountains, dancing in the air, curling and looping.
These rattans are quite different. Some of them are verdant and green, like "green snake demons", full of vitality and pleasing to the eye, but more are dry and yellow, and some are even as black as ink, full of life.
The yellow-shirted villain of the "Source Master" looked respectful and bowed deeply to those rattans, and the snake demon was even more prostrate on the ground, not daring to move.
"It's a guest from afar, so you don't have to be so hostile. It can be seen with the naked eye that the rattan is intertwined and twisted with each other, and finally condenses into a huge dragon head.
Handsome eyes and long beard, full of majesty.
Dragon!
Xu Sheng couldn't help but be taken aback. How could he have imagined that the "Cangshan Source Lord" was actually a legendary divine dragon!
It's a mythical thing, a peerless auspicious thing that can only be seen in the "Classics and History".
This is what the old blind man had been bent on getting, or rather, the old blind man had wanted to capture the dragon!
"Wow!"
Xu Sheng gasped and solemnly looked at the old blind man, shocked and beyond words.
Although he already regarded the old blind man very well in his heart, he even improved his assessment of his strength several times. However, it seems that it is still underestimated.
The real strength of the old blind man was far beyond Xu Sheng's expectations.
The old blind man is so strong, so what about the weirdos of the Xu family?
Xu Sheng clearly remembered that the old blind man once said: The strange man of the Xu family is three points stronger than him.
Since the strange man is stronger than the old blind man!, what about the master of the bronze giant hand that can refine the strange man at will?
Xu Sheng didn't dare to think deeply, and at the same time, he also attached great importance to the "Thirteenth Relic of the Hidden Sect of Buddhism" in his body, which could compete with the giant hand.
How big is the world?
Where is the pinnacle of power?
Who is the strongest in the world?
Xu Sheng wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything.
The old blind man looked at the dragon's head and said softly: "You are so entangled in death qi, it seems that you are even weaker than I imagined. ”
"Yes," the dragon sighed softly, "I'm only one line away from death, why do you want to disturb my idleness and make a fuss?"
"I'm not here to do anything. The old blind man put away the strings and said slowly, "I did have that idea before, but a monk changed me. Now, I'm here to do the exchange. ”
"Swap?" the dragon head pondered, and then said softly, "
Please speak. ”
"Use an inch of your body to make this kid reshape the remnants. The old blind man's tone was deep, and his face was like stone.
"Bold!" the yellow-shirted villain was instantly furious, and his hair was flying, with the intention of fighting to the death.
"Wait. The dragon head looked at the yellow-shirted villain and whispered:
"Let him finish. Since it is an exchange, of course, it is a two-way street, and if he wants an inch of my body, he should naturally pay the corresponding price. ”
"Of course," the old blind man nodded, "in exchange for my life." ”
"No!" Xu Sheng's heart jumped and he shouted urgently.
"Hahahaha!" the dragon head laughed, "what do I want you to do?"
"Boom!"
The cold wind hunts, and the clothes flutter. The old blind man was silent, but a "qi" rose around him.
"Sanctuary!" the dragon head was shocked and said, "There are still people in this world who can touch the Sanctuary!
At this time, the old blind man seems to have changed a person, his clothes are shabby, but he is full of light!
The light is invisible to the naked eye, but it is real, and the consciousness can feel it. The light was peaceful and upright, and the desolation and ferocity of the old blind man were swept away in an instant.
It's like a different person!
"Amazing, you can be called a genius! Unfortunately, it's still not enough. The dragon head gradually calmed down, shook his head, and said with a little regret: "The flesh and blood of a saint can give me a trace of vitality again, but you are not a saint, although in this era of the end of the law, you miraculously touched the holy realm. ”
"Saint," the old blind man pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice:
It's not unobtainable. ”
"You!" the dragon head stared at the old blind man, "what are you talking about?"
"If I am sanctified, can I exchange it?" the old blind man replied, but his tone was extremely resolute, and his originally pale eyes seemed to have a glow.
"Yes," said the dragon head, "but how are you going to be holy?"
"You don't have to worry about that. ”
The old blind man stood silent for a long time, and then he wept!
His eyes were dripping with tears!
"My life is like duckweed, absurd to this day, and it is a foregone conclusion. Either way, or then, the right is taken as atonement. The old blind man lamented, gently removed the erhu, and stroked it earnestly, as if to use all his strength.
A set of erhu, in general, has two parts: the string and the body. All along, the old blind man used the strings to fight, and the body of the piano was more like a simple instrument.
But Xu Sheng has always had a guess: there is a big secret hidden in the body of the erhu, perhaps more important than the strings.
Now, his suspicions have been confirmed.
The old blind man's whole attention was focused on the lyre, and the strings were whimpering and hanging in the air.
"I deserve to die, you deserve to judge. Suddenly, the old blind man let out a long shout.
"Khooth!"
Erhu breaks.
It is clearly visible that wisps of blue light oozed from the broken erhu. At first, it wasn't much, but after a few breaths, the light almost became the only one in heaven and earth!
"Vitality, almost condensed into substance!" The dragon head was already shocked to the extreme, his eyes showed deep longing, and he said with great excitement: "How many lives have this stolen from life? millions, or more?"
"This...!" Xu Sheng was already stunned, and from the words of the "Source Master", he heard something terrible. He looked at the old blind man with a trembling look in his eyes.
"No, I did kill a lot of people before, so it's not a pity for me to die today. The old blind man held Qingguang in one hand and gently touched Xu Sheng's head with the other. His broad palms trembled slightly, and it was hard to imagine that an old man as strong and experienced as he would be so excited.
"Old man, you..." Xu Sheng wanted to say nothing, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what happened in the past, I beg you to live." ”
"No way, I've made up my mind. The old blind man's hand was still on Xu Sheng's head, as if he was reluctant to move away. He said in a very rare but stiff voice: "You are a very kind person, so kind that it is almost stupid, I know that it is difficult for you to give up this kindness, and I do not want you to give it up." But in the future, you must learn to be strong, you must not be deceived by others, and when necessary, you must not let kindness become an obstacle for you. ”
"Hmm"
Xu Sheng held on, but he couldn't hold back anymore and cried bitterly. He knew that the old blind man was saying goodbye, and he had already made up his mind.
Since ancient times, life and death have been separated, and for Xu Sheng, he is about to lose an old man who protects him and teaches him.
"Am I destined to be lonely?"
Xu Sheng stared at the old blind man, trying to suppress the frenzy in his heart. Perhaps once upon a time, the old blind man was a demon who slaughtered the world and killed people without blinking, but now, unlike in the past, the old blind man has long since faded away from his demonic nature.
Xu Sheng followed the old blind man all the way, and he didn't see a trace of cruelty in this old man. On the contrary, I often feel the brilliance of humanity.
From a certain point of view, the old blind man and the Hanshan monk actually belong to the same kind of people.
Caring for the world, seeing death as home!
Although their styles are very different, aren't they all for the sake of the common people?
Although the old blind man's care and dedication to Xu Sheng was for a certain purpose, the sincerity contained in it was not half false. Where is this Adversary?
The old blind man is not a demon!
Xu Sheng was sure. He smiled, patted the old blind man on the back, and said softly, "Thank you, old man." ”
"I should thank you too. ”
The old blind man tried to straighten up, his eyes widened suddenly, and with a wave of his right hand, he grasped the blue light. When he landed, the light between heaven and earth was gone, and all the vitality was held in his hands!
"The vitality of a mortal is of no use to you, but the vitality of a saint can restore your origin. "The old blind man's words are clearly right"
The spirit of the mountains", said the "Source Lord".
"Saint...", the dragon head was silent.
"I want to be holy!"
The old blind man suddenly burst out and let out a long howl. The unimaginably huge vitality poured from his palm to his whole body, and it was visible to the naked eye that the old blind man's whole body was filled with blue light.
More precisely, the old blind man seems to be immersed in a sea of blue light.
This situation is the same as when Xu Sheng touched it in the dark forest, wearing "ten thousand golden lights", the only difference is the color of the light.
"Don't be surprised, your relics also contain the power of a saint, the difference is that what I have in my hand is vitality, and what you have in you is faith. The old blind man faced Xu Sheng with a gentle expression.
"Faith?"
"The belief of the thirteenth Buddha Sect. ”
"I remembered. Xu Sheng nodded seriously, "I will inherit that belief." ”
"Good," the old blind man smiled with satisfaction, and then folded his hands, changing one after another, and uttered strange and obscure syllables from his mouth.
"Enlightenment!"
Xu Sheng only understood the last two words, and then he saw a scene that he would never forget: the two eyes of the old blind man turned from black to white, becoming hotter and hotter, and more and more energetic.
No, it's not just eyeballs. The old blind man's whole person has changed, as if he has rejuvenated, the wrinkles have disappeared, and the spots are hidden.
But in a few breaths, his originally old face became plump as jade, and his original rickety body was also straight and majestic.
"It feels so good. The old blind man clenched his fists, and his eyes burned with fire.
At this moment, he is full of vitality and swept away the decadence, and at this moment, he is incomparable in strength and domineering!
"Heaven and earth are reversed, yin and yang turn, life and death are the same, there is no inference; The old blind man looked solemn, holding the sky with one hand and pointing to the ground with the other, between heaven and earth, heroic and majestic.
"Xu Sheng is standing beside me, I want to borrow you to gather spirits. ”
"Good"
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Sheng stood tightly beside the old blind man. Since the old blind man needed it, he naturally did not hesitate to help him with all his might.
"Whew-"
The wind and clouds are moving in all directions, and everywhere in Cangshan, invisible forces converge.
Xu Sheng was in pain with the wind. Through the afterglow, he saw a hole open in the heavenly vault, and then centered on that hole, the wind swirled, gradually becoming a chaotic vortex.
"The ancient world has vitality, sanctification is not unattainable, the ancient vitality is exhausted, but the spiritual energy is abundant, and there is a feasible way to sanctify, and there is still a glimmer of vitality. Now in the era of the end of the law, the aura is close to dissipating, the road ahead has been broken, and I will continue on the path. The old blind man looked solemn, folded his hands, and let out a long roar.
"Divine Court Broken!"
