Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Soul Locking Tower

readx;? Under the leadership of the King of Jizo, the two walked through a land of thorns and came to a cliff mouth, the front of them was hazy, the black fog was diffuse, the wind was blowing, and they should have felt cold all over their bodies, but Zhao Qingyu felt a burst of heat, and the heat seemed to come from under the cliff. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before he could figure it out, King Jizo pointed the golden tin in his hand to the bottom of the cliff, and a huge golden light shot out from the golden tin, speeding forward, where the golden light passed, the black mist gave way, and the scenery below the cliff was unobstructed with the opening of the line of sight.

Zhao Qingyu couldn't help but be stunned, there was an incomparably huge crater below, with a diameter of at least forty miles, and a huge basin formed by the giant gray basalt was like a huge stone bowl, which contained gurgling magma, exuding amazing heat, and he and the King of Jizo stood on the wall of the bowl on one side, like two small ants, incomparably small.

Accustomed to such visions, the Jizo King stretched out his hand to the black building in the middle and said, "That's the Soul Locking Tower, let's ride the clouds over there." ”

Zhao Qingyu nodded, seeing the crater for the first time, he was playful for a while, and wanted to test the temperature of the magma, so he picked up a boulder from the ground and threw it into the sea of fire. When the stone entered the magma, a light smoke came out, and the boulder was instantly melted away by the high temperature.

He was secretly frightened, and saw the king of Jizo galloping towards the center of the crater, and hurriedly drove the clouds to follow.

Both of them were people with supernatural powers, and in a matter of moments, they reached the center of the crater. It turned out that the building was a huge tower that was not high enough to see the sky, like the pillar of optimus, like a straight pillar of light, the whole body was gray, Zhao Qingyu looked at half the sky, only to find the entrance to a black hole at the bottom, in the mist, revealing the ghost of the forest.

The king of Jizo took away the auspicious clouds and fell on a huge rock below, I don't know what material this huge rock is, it was not corroded when it was immersed in magma, Zhao Qingyu pressed the cloud head and fell into the rock.

"You've thought it through, come in with me!"

King Jizo stared at the huge Soul Locking Tower, his face was calm, he didn't plan to bring Zhao Qingyu here, but the other party strongly requested, and even more on the grounds of sincerity of cooperation, he had to agree.

Zhao Qingyu nodded without thinking, since he has already come, how can he not go in and have a look. Besides, he has another purpose, it is rare to come to the underworld, if he doesn't listen to a few important things and go back, it will not be a trip in vain.

This Jizo King, like the Dragon King of the Four Seas, has too many secrets hidden in his body, and only when these secrets are thoroughly clarified will his development in this world be like a fish in water. Although I gained a lot along the way, I was also surprised to find that the journey to the west is far from being as simple as I understand, and there are too many secrets waiting to be discovered.

"Then go in with me. However, I warn you that you are not to touch anything in it, especially taboo, or it will be doomed. ”

Seeing that King Jizo said solemnly, Zhao Qingyu nodded and followed him to the entrance to the cave into the tower. Looking inside the tower from the outside, it was dark, but after the two of them walked about a hundred steps, a light suddenly appeared in front of them, with a strange red, as if stained with blood, revealing a strange aura.

"Who dares to come here?"

An angry shout came from the front, majestic and deafening, as if the entire giant tower was trembling. Then a black shadow covered the two of them, Zhao Qingyu looked up, and saw a giant several feet high, with thick arms like pillars, dark skin, a head as big as a car, a bull's nose and blue lips, fangs exposed, and eyes the size of Tongling, exuding a bloodthirsty light, ignoring the King of Jizo on the side, and his eyes were locked on himself.

Zhao Qingyu was stunned for a moment, he didn't know where this guy in front of him came from, but he could scare himself with his big body, thinking that back then, the giant spirit god was not smaller than the person in front of him, and he didn't run away in embarrassment in his hands. His eyes turned to the king of Jizo to see how he arranged, if he had an attitude that it was not his business, then he would inevitably have to fight with this giant and extinguish his arrogance.

"Guardian Ming, don't be rude to the guests, step down for me!" King Jizo shouted, and the giant shook his body into a burst of red light, and then disappeared into the empty passage.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingyu was taken aback in his heart, although he was a true immortal in the late stage of cultivation, but he thought that he could not achieve the realm of "gathering is formed, and scattering is qi", but this Guardian Ming King can do it, just by virtue of this, at least it is the realm of golden immortals.

It seems that the power of the Jizo King is not small!

"In front of us is the first floor of the tower, we go in and pass through quickly, and when we reach the third floor, we take the soul and hurry out, it is too dangerous inside, even I dare not stay in it for too long. When he said this, King Jizo's face was solemn, and he seemed to be deeply afraid of what was inside.

Zhao Qingyu nodded solemnly, since this tower is called the Soul Locking Tower, as the name suggests, all the things locked in it must be souls. And Sun Wukong found his name in the soul book, and he was ranked 1,350. This shows that there are at least 1,350 souls in it, and all of them are powerful, if these souls are released, it will inevitably lead to chaos in the Three Realms, and the result will inevitably be that the three major forces in the Immortal Realm will lose their balance, and at that time, the order between heaven and earth will be disrupted again, and mankind will face a catastrophe.

It can be seen from this how important the existence of the Soul Locking Tower is, but this Jizo King took the risk to bring himself here, and he was not afraid that he would release all the souls inside and disturb the waters of the Three Realms.

Zhao Qingyu was a little puzzled, as if after coming to this netherworld, King Jizo's behavior became very strange, as if there was some conspiracy hidden, but the explanation he gave was reasonable, and in his heart, he was willing to believe him.

Just as he was in a trance, he heard a "bang" sound, and the heavy bronze door opened. Although the door opened, there was still a golden enchantment in front of him, Zhao Qingyu touched it lightly with his hand, and bounced back, King Jizo recited a spell, and the golden light flashed, covering the two of them, and then wrapped the two of them through the light wall and entered.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Qingyu looked at the surrounding scenery curiously, this is a huge space, the top is all dark blue, inlaid with countless gems, mainly sapphires, embellished with rubies, at a glance it looks like a picture of the boundless sky, and the ruby sapphire is the sun, moon and stars.

But for some reason, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this sky image was extremely a formation, because he could feel that this sky map was releasing a huge force downward, and the target seemed to be the dozens of stone pillars not far in front of him.

Dozens of stone pillars are placed according to the Taiji Bagua Array, the thickness and length are the same, and each pillar has a beast-shaped relief on it, which is a unicorn and a phoenix, and there is a yellow rune on it, and there is a six-character mantra of Buddhism on the rune. Yin and yang are divided into Tai Chi, and the stone pillars on the yin side are engraved with phoenixes, while the yang side is engraved with unicorns.

Seeing this, Zhao Qingyu's heart moved, and then thought of what Wei Zheng said, there was a war of all things in ancient times, and the eldest unicorn of the beast and the long phoenix of the bird were destroyed in this battle, could it be that their souls were trapped in this formation.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that there is this possibility, the unicorn and the phoenix are called the long of all things, and their strength must be extremely powerful. I have never seen a monkey detained by black and white impermanence, and it can still make a big fuss in the underworld, which shows that for those strong people, even if it is a soul state, it is not something that ordinary people can bully.

The Qilin clan and the Phoenix clan were all extremely powerful in their lifetimes, and if their souls were not imprisoned after death, they were afraid that this underworld would be easily occupied by them, and then they would use the Netherworld as a base to launch a war against the Three Realms, wouldn't it be a constant harm, so for this consideration, Buddhism has this formation in this soul locking tower.

It's just that what makes Zhao Qingyu feel strange is that the formation is Taoist, but the rune seal is Buddhist, could it be that the two families have joined forces to set up this confinement?
