"Bodhisattva, to be honest, the five volumes of heavenly books have now been collected, but after the map of mountains, rivers, and the country was broken that year, it was taken away by several disciples of Tang Monk, and now I don’t know where to find it." Shen Luo said.
"It is naturally nowhere to be found in the human world. In fact, the map of mountains, rivers, and the country has never been circulated outside." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva suddenly laughed.
When Shen Luo heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned his wrist, and a virtual light flashed in his palm, and then four scrolls of different sizes appeared. Two of them had shafts, and the other two did not. They were just randomly rolled up together.
"Back then, after the reincarnation of Fighting Buddha and others, they actually left the fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers and the State with me. That's why I am trying hard to stay alive here. And your appearance has made my wait worthwhile after all." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva raised his hand and waved, and all the fragments flew to Shen Luo.
Shen Luo looked at the map of mountains, rivers, and the country in front of him and couldn't help but be slightly dazed.
"You don't know what Tang Seng and his disciples have paid to preserve this map of mountains, rivers, and the country, but I hope you can repair it. This is the last chance to save the Three Realms." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva advised.
"Junior, I will definitely live up to the Bodhisattva's trust. But how can I repair this map of mountains, rivers, and the country? I'm afraid it can't be used in such a broken state?" Shen Luo looked solemn.
“The Map of Mountains, Rivers, and States is also a spiritual object that is sensitive to the sky. If you want to repair it, you need to rely on the power of the Heavenly Book…” As Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, and his figure gradually became more ethereal.
"Bodhisattva..."
Shen Luo sensed something and quickly pointed a finger, separating a strand of his spiritual power and leading it towards him.
"My strength has been exhausted. There is no need to waste energy anymore." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva waved his hand and refused.
“Buddha, as long as you still have a trace of soul left, I can write your real name on the Heavenly Book. Then there may be a chance to save you and revive you later…” Shen Luo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly grabbed the Heavenly Book in his hand, saying anxiously.
"The Heavenly Book can only bear the true names below Taiyi, and above the Supreme... it cannot be written. You don't have to be sad. My mission has been completed. From now on, it depends on you." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva smiled and said.
"Bodhisattva..."
Although they were only together for a short time, Shen Luo still felt the true compassion from this Bodhisattva who said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?" and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
"This Xu Kun is neither good nor evil, it only has the instinct to devour. I imprisoned it in this hell maze because I didn't want it to leave and destroy all living things. Now that hell has become a real hell, it doesn't matter anymore. Let it go free."
As Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's ethereal voice fell, a golden talisman emerged from the void, ignited a flame in the air, and gradually dissipated.
As the talisman burned out, Shen Luo vaguely heard the low roar of a strange beast, and the space outside his body suddenly shook violently. But then, his surroundings began to gradually become brighter, and the black shadow that shrouded the surroundings gradually became transparent.
Only then did Shen Luo realize that he had actually left the swamp of desire and now came to a black bamboo forest. It was silent all around except for the "wooshing" sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo gaps.
