After stepping out, Jiang Baimian realized that the gray-robed monk was going to take himself and others up to the seventh floor of the Sikaluo Temple.
This is the place where the "Buddha's Body" of the "Crystal Consciousness Religion" sleeps, and if he enters it rashly, he will die strangely!
Jiang Baimian's abdominal muscles tensed, and he forcibly pulled his right foot back.
At the same time, she shouted in a deep voice:
"stop!"
Shang Jianyao reacted with her almost in no particular order, his waist arched slightly, and the eyes of the gray-robed monk became dark and deep.
"Heroic people"!
He used the "hypocritical person" for the first time.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who were reminded by Jiang Baimian, wanted to stop subconsciously, but they couldn't overcome their inertia and stumbled a bit.
At this time, Jiang Baimian, who stood on one foot and forcibly stabilized his balance, stretched out his left palm.
A cloud of silver-white electric light expanded sharply, penetrated the air, and landed on the torso of the gray-robed monk.
But the gray-robed monk's expression was still blank, and there was no change in his eyes, as if his body was not the one who suffered the electric shock.
In the same way, Shang Jianyao's "hypocritical person" failed to leave any traces on him. He maintained a silent and rigid attitude, half turned his body, stood there, and did not do any irrational behavior.
After an instant, a strange light lit up in the green eyes of the gray-robed monk, as if there were two Bodhi seeds inlaid on his face that solidified the "Fate Pass".
In a trance, Long Yuehong returned to the company and married a woman according to the assigned result.
After that, he moved to an internal position, working diligently and raising a man and two women.
As he grew older, his health gradually deteriorated, but the effect of genetic improvement prevented him from having to go to the hospital frequently. After waiting for seventy years, he truly experienced aging, and realized the fear and helplessness of death approaching step by step.
What saddens him even more is that his wife and eldest daughter have suffered from "heartless disease" one after another, but he can only watch and do nothing.
All kinds of pain left traces on him, and he couldn't help thinking: As a human being, is it always accompanied by suffering in this life, unable to get rid of it
When he was dying, he saw a world shrouded in glazed light, where Bodhisattva was densely covered with towers, gold, silver, crystal, amber, etc. everywhere, dotted with many houses.
There is peace and harmony, and there is no hunger or pain. Long Yuehong felt that this was what she expected, so she took a step towards that world.
Shang Jianyao turned into a beast, sometimes howling "Ow", sometimes biting other animals, and spent a short life in confusion.
In his old age, he was finally hunted by other beasts and became their food.
In the pain of being bitten, there seemed to be a voice in his mind saying:
"Is this state what you want?"
In a daze, Shang Jianyao saw the classroom, saw the children, and heard the sound of lectures and chanting.
He sang uncontrollably:
"Bai Suzhen, at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, cultivated this body for thousands of years in the cave, ah, ah, hard work and hard training came to the Tao, reborn into a human being..." (Note 1)
At this moment, the teachers and children who were in class seemed to be stunned.
Then, Shang Jianyao walked in.
Bai Chen stood in the wilderness, holding "Ice Moss" and "United 202" in both hands.
She kept running and shooting, knocking over a wilderness robber, wanderer, and second person who tried to attack her.
As a result, the blood flowed out, dyeing the earth red, and the strong fishy smell penetrated into Bai Chen's nose.
This kind of life seems to be eternal, day after day, year after year, Bai Chen is always fighting and fighting.
This made her full of anger and exhaustion, until she was accidentally shot by someone.
boom!
Bai Chen felt the severe pain in his body, and also had the joy of finally being relieved.
But vaguely, she found that she would still be alive, and she would continue to flee and kill like this.
No... At this time, she saw a city, not big but peaceful.
There is enough order here that people stop killing each other frantically.
Bai Chen pursed his lips and ran in impatiently.
Jiang Baimian returned to the laboratory.
She is busy experimenting every day and is delighted to draw conclusions one by one.
In her life, there is no hunger, no heat or cold, no fatigue, only concentration and detachment.
But suddenly, she began to age, her body became unclean, and she was restless.
There is no way out of this state, until she is on the verge of death, about to sleep in eternal darkness without consciousness.
She struggled hard, not wanting to pass out in a coma like this, and no longer feel any sense of the world.
Finally, her outstretched hand touched a door.
Behind this pair of dark gates, the earth is fertile, the sun is shining, there is no famine, no monsters, no infection, and no sickness and aging.
Jiang Baimian alternated his hands and tried his best to crawl into the door.
"Reincarnation"!
The "Six Paths of Reincarnation" that came at the same time!
The suffering of human beings, the ignorance of animals, the slaughter of Asuras, the decline of heaven and man.
The four members of the "Old Tunes Group" took different steps in this way and climbed the stairs leading to the seventh floor.
They went up step by step, and soon set foot on the quiet and uninhabited aisle on the seventh floor.
At this time, Shang Jianyao's brain twitched, his thoughts jumped, and he switched his personality.
He seemed to wake up a little, turned back subconsciously, and looked at the stairs.
The gray-robed monk stood there, his face turning blue and his tongue sticking out.
At some point he suffocated to death.
thump!
The gray-robed monk fell heavily on the stairs and rolled two or three steps.
With his death, the effect of "Six Paths of Reincarnation" disappeared, Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen stopped in a daze, and turned their eyes to the place where the sound came from.
Then, they saw the corpse.
I saw the gray-robed monk who ignored the influence of the "hypocritical person" and the high-voltage electric shock just now turned into a corpse.
On the surface of the corpse, in addition to the many black marks brought by the electric current, there are only various signs of suffocation.
At this moment, the first thought that flashed in Long Yuehong's mind was:
Oops, he framed us for suicide...
As for why it was suicide, because there was no one else around.
While Jiang Baimian was startled, he looked around and blurted out:
"This is the seventh floor?"
"Theoretically, unless we go one more floor and reach the eighth floor." Shang Jianyao replied.
Sikkaro Temple does not have an eighth floor.
Are we on the seventh floor? Unknowingly reached the seventh floor? Long Yuehong's body suddenly tense.
The seventh floor of Sikkaro Temple is not a good place. Except for a very few people, all those who enter will die silently and strangely!
The gray-robed monk who led them to the seventh floor suffocated in the well-ventilated corridor!
Bai Chen was equally tense and said directly:
"Leave now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew in the aisle.
In the echoing sound of woo, a room very close to the "Old Tunes Group" made a creaking noise.
bang!
The corresponding door opened backwards and slammed into the wall.
Under the dim light at both ends of the aisle, the area without street lights was shadowy.
Jiang Baimian saw that the door of the room that was already open was deep and dark, as if it could swallow all the light.
"Counting from the left, this should be the third room." Shang Jianyao said his observations.
Sikkaro Temple, the seventh floor, the third room... Isn't that what the knocker hinted at? Long Yuehong almost took a breath.
He didn't know that it was too late to escape at this time, but he felt that this was the only option.
The same is true for Bai Chen, who thinks that it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time.
In an instant, they seemed to feel some kind of calling.
Something in that room seemed to be calling them.
This made their will to escape obviously shaken. They didn't run to the stairs for the first time and stayed in place.
"come on… "
"come on… "
"come on… "
Vaguely, there seemed to be a long voice resounding in the hearts of the four members of the "Old Tunes Group".
"No!" Shang Jianyao used "hypocritical person" to himself.
He didn't forget to add this influence to Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen, so that they could fight against the summons.
"I'll stay here and not go anywhere!" Long Yuehong shouted.
In the "hypocritical" state, he was neither willing to respond to the call, nor to escape.
Jiang Baimian's reaction was similar to that of Shang Jianyao, he calmed down and issued an order:
"Go to the stairs."
Before she finished speaking, the open door seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, trying to close it.
The whistling of the wind became more urgent, and the speed of closing the door slowed down a lot.
Just as the crimson wooden door was about to close completely, Youdao's hoarse voice, which seemed to have not spoken for many years, said with difficulty:
"Home... Home..."
boom!
The door was completely closed, blocking all movement.
