Mount Sumeru, Tianyin Temple.
There was silence in the remote wooden house, Master Pu Hong and Master Pu De were silent, Fa Xiang stood aside, his face also showed a look of astonishment, but he also remained silent, Ghost Li stared at him intently. The soft white light of the treasure opened in front of him made his face flicker.
Wrapped in the black curtain is a magic weapon in the shape of a jade plate. The material is extremely warm bluish white, and there are zigzag folds recessed inwards at the edges every not far away. Make a thin groove, and draw it from deep to shallow toward the center of the jade plate.
The white radiance in the center of the jade plate is the softest and brightest, flowing gently like water in the mid-air of nothingness. Under the radiance, there are countless pieces of extremely small jade cubes, which are densely packed but obviously orderly. Arranged in the center of the jade plate, and with Gui Li's current Taoist practice, he can see that each side of those small jade blocks is engraved with an ancient and clumsy font, but he can't understand the meaning of these words.
On the edge of the jade plate, mysterious and ancient patterns are engraved in the four directions of southeast, northwest, some are like stars in the sky, some are like isolated islands in the deep sea, and some patterns are so weird that it is impossible to see what they mean.
But at this moment, Gui Li didn't care too much about the meaning of these small characters and patterns. What surprised him was that the countless small jade blocks were constantly flowing, none of the jade blocks was still, and all of them were moving. It is flowing slowly like running water, but it does not only flow in one direction, they are in all directions, but under such dazzling movement, it seems that there is a vague truth in it, all the jade pieces are not collision phenomenon.
Gui Li stared at it for a long time, and suddenly felt that there was a mysterious force on this jade plate, and the countless flowing jade pieces turned into rivers and mountains in his eyes, talking endlessly; The sky is endless; a moment later, the starlight disappeared instantly, and he was stunned in the darkness of nothingness. In the depths of that lonely darkness, scenes flowed by, there was a previous life, like the next life, and at the bottom of his feet did not know when, appeared A huge black hole with nothingness, darkness and unfathomable depth was formed, and the unstoppable powerful suction rushed up from the black hole, pulling his whole body down, sinking into the darkness as if endlessly...
"Hey!"
All of a sudden, there was a cry of drinking, which sounded like thunder in his ears, Gui Li shook his body, as if awakened from a dream, his head was dripping with sweat, his whole body was exhausted as if he had experienced a big battle, and he was gasping for breath.
Master Pu Hong, who uttered a lion's roar to awaken Ghost Li, showed compassion in his eyes, and gently folded his hands together and said, "Almsgiver, you have a rough life experience, too many entanglements in the secular world, and countless sad past events, with serious demons in your heart. It is a unique thing in the world. It has the ability to pull the soul and seize the soul. It can break life and death, count reincarnation, and determine the number of qi. It really has the power to reverse the world. "
Gui Li panted rapidly in a low voice, and after a while, he slowly calmed down, the jade plate of reincarnation in front of him still emitted a soft white light, flowing silently in front of everyone.
Although he was horrified by this strange treasure that he had never heard of before, but thinking that if this treasure is really so miraculous, then the hope of saving Bi Yao would be a little bit more. Thinking of this, Gui Li was not surprised but happy , and immediately bowed down to Master Puhong and Master Pude, and said: "I implore the two masters to build a seven-level pagoda out of compassion, to help the disciple, and temporarily lend this treasure to the disciple to save people. Go back to the mountain and pay it back in person, and I will worship it day and night in the future, praying for the two masters to achieve the right result!" After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
Master Pude raised his hand slightly, but although his speech has gradually become fluent, his body movements are still very numb, his arms only moved, and then stopped again.
Fortunately, Master Pu Hong who was beside him had already walked over, helped Gui Li up, and said softly: "You don't have to be like this, you need to get up and talk!"
Fa Xiang also walked over from the side, and then Gui Li slowly stood up.
Master Puhong smiled and said: "Since Junior Brother Pude has taken out this treasure, he agrees to lend it to you, don't worry."
Gui Li was overjoyed and was about to thank you when he heard Master Na Pude's voice sounded at this moment, saying: "Benefactor, I have a few words to say to you."
Gui Li hurriedly said solemnly: "Master, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."
Master Pude said slowly: "This treasure is both good and evil, and it can confuse people's minds the most. People's hearts are like a mirror, and it is very helpful to act dignifiedly; You don't know the benefactor very well, but you can see that the benefactor is extremely profound, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and has great potential for cultivation in the future. His achievements should be far better than mine. It's just that the benefactor is strong on the outside and weak on the inside. , the heart demon has become a serious problem, like a sharp sword hanging from the head, does the donor know?"
Gui Li remained silent for a long time, and said: "Let me tell you two masters, this disciple doesn't care about mastering nature and cultivating longevity. As for life and death, after many changes, this disciple feels that life is nothing to love. Why bother with mere inner demons. My disciples are still running around in the world today, but there are only a few people who can't give up what they care about. If they can't give up, they should live to repay their confidantes." He slowly raised his head, smiled faintly, and said: "As for the others, Master doesn't have to worry about me."
Master Pu De stared at Gui Li for a long time, sighed, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Gui Li bowed to Master Pu De, stepped forward and carefully wrapped the Universe Reincarnation Disk with black cloth, and put it in his bosom as a treasure.
Master Puhong clasped his palms together and said, "Benefactor, be careful."
Gui Li nodded, suddenly frowned, stretched out his hand to pat his forehead, laughed, said: "Look at my memory, I'm too happy to remember anything, how to use this treasure, I haven't asked for advice yet!"
Master Pude slowly opened his eyes, and exchanged a glance with Master Puhong who was looking over from the side. There was a questioning intent in Master Puhong's eyes, but Master Pude sighed lightly and shook his head slowly.
Master Pu Hong frowned slightly, and said nothing, Master Pu De hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gui Li.
Gui Li bowed deeply, and said: "Master, please give me some guidance, this disciple is very grateful."
Master Pude shook his head silently, Gui Li was stunned for a moment, not knowing why, after a while, he heard Master Pude's hoarse and deep voice saying: "I have kept this treasure by my side for decades, and I have studied it day and night. It can only be seen that it can pass through profound changes and reincarnate the soul, but I still can't figure out how to urge and use this strange treasure."
Gui Liru was poured cold water from head to toe, looked at Master Pu De in disbelief, and then slowly looked at Master Pu Hong.
Master Puhong sighed, and said: "Benefactor, this is why I have been hesitating with Pude Junior Brother. The Universe Reincarnation Disk does have the amazing ability to reverse the universe and reverse cause and effect, but it must be because this magic power is too heaven-defying. Ordinary people can't understand the mystery of it."
Gui Li was stunned and unable to speak, his heart was in chaos, thousands of words came to his mind, but in the end only the bitter taste of words remained.
After a long time, he suddenly smiled wryly, shook his head, and said, "No matter what, the two masters should lend this treasure to his disciples. No matter what, there is always hope."
Master Puhong and Master Pude said in unison: "Amitabha."
Faxiang next to him couldn't bear it, took a step, and said in a low voice: "Benefactor Zhang, I'm really sorry..."
Gui Li shook his head silently, and suddenly smiled at Fa Xiang, but in Fa Xiang's eyes, that smile was extremely bitter, he only heard him slowly say: "Brother Fa Xiang, you don't need to comfort me, in fact, such a thing , this is not the first time for me. Once upon a time, there was a great hope in front of me, but it just fell short... "
His voice suddenly turned low, and a look of extreme pain flashed across his face, not to mention much, he bowed his hands to the two masters Pu Hong and Pu De, thanked them deeply, then turned around abruptly, without looking back, and strode away out.
Looking at Gui Li's back, Master Pu Hong had complex expressions in his eyes, he folded his palms together and said softly: "Amitabha, the Buddha is merciful, he is entangled in karma, and he has really suffered a lifetime."
Master Pu De was silent for a moment, and then read a sentence softly.
"Amitabha!"
※※※
Huqishan, the main hall of the ghost king.
It has been three days since Xiaobai returned to Huqi Mountain. During these three days, her brows and eyebrows never seemed to relax. Within three days, tragedies were staged in front of her several times. And the dead disciples of the Ghost King Sect and the surroundings are increasingly immersed in fear. Seeing that even if he is not crazy, there are many other people who are driven crazy by this terrifying atmosphere, Xiaobai is completely sure that in this Huqi Mountain, there must be Something weird and terrible happened.
However, what puzzled and annoyed her the most was that under such circumstances, she couldn't see Ghost King, the suzerain of the Ghost King Sect.
I learned from the disciples of the Ghost King Sect that the Ghost King suddenly ordered a long time ago that he would go into seclusion and never meet outsiders, and even ordinary Ghost King Sect disciples could not see him. Xiaobai asked the ghost king sect disciples to report several times, but the news was always the same. Either the ghost king sect disciples who went to report said they could not see the ghost king sect master, or the ghost king sent a message to ask Miss Bai to wait for a few more days. You can leave the customs immediately, all in all, just don't come out to see her.
Although Xiaobai's Taoism is profound, but being in such a weird atmosphere of the Ghost King Sect, he can't feel better anyway, and every day he sees people going crazy and dying by his side. This kind of crazy place is terrifying , which cannot be described in words.
In fact, with her thousands of years of practice, Xiaobai has already vaguely felt that behind this seemingly vast and magnificent mountainside cave, there is a very strange and bloodthirsty power that is constantly expanding, especially when she sees someone going crazy. And in the scene of death, that special bloody smell became more and more intense.
Three days ago, when she had just arrived at Huqi Mountain and met Lao Li, the first disciple of the Ghost King Sect who went mad and died, she accidentally found a mysterious figure hidden in a certain corner, and the bloody aura emanating from him was the strongest, but When she traced the past, she found that the mysterious figure had disappeared and never appeared again since that day.
But at this moment, Xiaobai already felt that his patience was going to run out!
In the stone room, Xiaobai was sitting alone. Although the surrounding thick stone walls were also covered with cracks that had never existed before, which was shocking, it could still block most of the noise, enclosing a tranquility that seemed so precious at the moment. In this stone chamber. However, Xiaobai's face did not look peaceful at all. On the contrary, the anger on her face became more and more intense. What happened before her eyes in the past few days had completely broken her previous impression of the ghost king. The disciples were deeply in terror, while the suzerain disappeared completely, and he didn't even speak a word to comfort people, let alone take any measures to solve the situation.
This is simply unheard of, Xiaobai even once wondered if something big happened to the Ghost King Zong while she was away, some powerful person secretly killed the Ghost King, that's why this chaos happened. Otherwise, how could such a scene have happened with the great talents of the ghost king in the past? It's just that Xiaobai thinks about it, but he always feels that a person as powerful as the ghost king has no reason to be rebelled by his subordinates, and Xiaobai still thinks about the relationship between the sister Xiaoxiao and the ghost king back then, and doesn't want to make things worse. It was too stiff, so I had to wait patiently. Unexpectedly, I waited for three days and three nights.
"Snapped!"
Xiaobai's face was as gloomy as water, he patted the bed beside him, then stood up, and walked straight to the middle door of the stone room.
After three days, she finally couldn't bear it any longer, and decided to go to the Ghost King to find out, otherwise, she might as well just leave this place. She really didn't want to stay in such a strange place for a day.
Just when she was about to approach Shimen, Xiao Bai frowned suddenly, as if sensing something, she stopped.
Sure enough, a moment later, there was a movement outside the stone gate, and then a respectful voice came in: "Is Miss Bai here?"
Xiaobai stepped forward and opened the stone door, only to see a disciple of the Ghost King Sect standing outside the stone room, about twenty, he looked very young, but his face was dark under the eyes, and there was also a look of tiredness that could not be concealed, but It is conceivable that this person is also troubled by those weird things around him.
Seeing Xiaobai standing there, the expression on the face of this Ghost King Sect disciple became even more respectful. Xiaobai and the Ghost King Sect master Gui Wang and Deputy Sect Master Gui Li have extraordinary friendship, everyone in the Ghost King Sect knows it, so naturally they respect her Respectfully.
Xiaobai glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?"
I only heard the young disciple of the Ghost King Sect say: "The disciple is following the order of the suzerain to invite Miss Bai to meet him."
Xiao Bai was startled, then sneered, and said, "Has he finally got time, is he finally willing to see me?"
There was disrespect and anger towards the ghost king in her tone, the disciple of the ghost king's sect heard it, a trace of fear flashed across his face, and his head lowered a little.
Xiaobai snorted, and didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore, and said lightly: "It just so happens that I'm going to see him too. If that's the case, you can lead the way!"
The disciple of the Ghost King Sect seemed relieved, nodded and said: "Yes, girl, please follow me." He didn't dare to look at Xiaobai more, turned around and walked towards the depths of the corridor.
Xiaobai walked forward behind the disciple of the ghost king, and saw that the direction he was walking was the residence of the ghost king. It seemed that the ghost king really came out of the so-called "retreat" and returned to his own house. The corner of Xiaobai's mouth twitched, and a sneer flashed across his face.
The two walked all the way, and at a place ten feet away from the ghost king's stone room, the ghost king's disciple stopped and said in a low voice: "Miss Bai, the sect master ordered to meet you alone, so I won't go in. .”
Xiaobai frowned, even though the ghost king had given this order, the disciple stopped and left after ten feet away, no matter what, it was extremely rude. But after she turned her head and glanced at the young disciple of the Ghost King Sect, she was stunned. She saw that the disciple's face was a little stiff, and with his hands beside him, he seemed to be involuntarily wiping the clothes on the side of his legs. It seemed that sweat was pouring out of the palms of his hands, and he was extremely nervous and fearful.
Xiaobai was silent for a moment, his expression eased, he sighed lightly, and said, "Okay, let's go!"
The young disciple looked up at Xiao Bai and immediately lowered his head, but it was obvious that his whole body relaxed, as if the heavy boulder on his back had moved away in an instant, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He only heard him whisper: "Thank you, miss." After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly.
Xiaobai's eyes turned around, looked at the ghost king's stone room, pondered for a moment, collected himself, and took a step forward. Suddenly, at this moment, a heart-piercing roar suddenly came from the distance behind her , that voice was as sharp as a sharp blade, piercing the fragile peace in this cave in an instant.
It was not the first time for Xiaobai to hear this kind of sound, but his chest still sank suddenly, and he turned around with a whimper, only to see that the corridor in front of him was still empty, only a figure standing there like a stiff stone .
In the distance, the roaring sound gradually mixed with the voices of the people who came to hear the sound, followed by a chaotic sound of shouting, cursing and fighting. The faint smell of blood, like invisible running water, flowed around Xiao Bai's body again.
It's just that at this moment, Xiaobai didn't take these things into consideration for the time being. She frowned tightly, but she was staring at the young disciple of the Ghost King Sect just now. The stone room where the ghost king lives is naturally located in a relatively quiet corner. The corridor is quite long. At this moment, there is no one else except Xiaobai and the young disciple. The tingling and frightening shouts are still coming from afar. I don't know which poor man went mad again.
Suddenly, the young disciple's frozen body began to tremble, and the trembling became more and more severe, and then he uttered a desperate cry: "Ah!... I can't take it anymore..."
He pulled out the blade of his bodyguard, as if the emptiness around him was full of evil spirits and enemies who wanted to harm him, he swung the blade wildly and slashed wildly, the sharp blade made a sharp howling sound in the air, cutting on the hard A faint scar was left on the stone wall.
The roaring in the distance gradually subsided, but the crowd seemed to have heard something and began to move here. Xiaobai snorted coldly, suddenly a white shadow flashed, and he had already rushed to the side of the young disciple. The young disciple seemed to have lost his mind, and he slashed at Xiaobai with his knife. Lightning had already grabbed the young disciple's wrist, exerted a little force, and there was a crisp sound, the sharp blade in the disciple's hand fell to the ground, and he himself leaned against the stone wall as if his whole body was powerless.
Xiaobai fixed his eyes, looked directly into the man's eyes, and saw that he was panting heavily, his eyes were scattered and a little crazy, but apart from a few red threads under his eyes, there was no such bloodthirsty crimson color.
Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief, he heard a distant noisy voice approaching here, pondered for a moment, then waved his right hand across the young disciple's head, and as the white sleeves flashed by, the young disciple's body shook, his eyes slowly moved. Closed, and the person fell powerlessly to the ground.
With a tense face, Xiaobai suddenly turned around, and his body floated towards the stone room where the ghost king lived. Behind him, many figures appeared faintly, rushing towards here.
