Chapter 681 Trip to Mount Osore (34)
Suzuna looked at the huge Jizo statue standing on the lake in the distance and said: "It seems that I didn't follow you. Was it suppressed by Jizo-sama? ? Sure enough, we still need to hire this person to deal with the undead."
Qian Xiaoyi held the compass in his hand, checked the direction, and said, "Let's go this way" and then led the way.
The group of people walked towards the previously arranged venue, where was the battlefield they prepared.
“Why not take the opportunity to attack?” King Kong asked: “Since Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can suppress the opponent, shouldn’t we take this opportunity to attack? Even if we cannot break through the opponent’s defense, we can still find opportunities to seal it. Right? ”
Suzuna sneered: "You think too well, how can it be that simple? That zombie has taken away the power of the mountain god. If we mobilize the power of Osama to resist, we will not be able to complete the seal at all."
King Kong was a little confused: "Then it's invincible? Are all zombies like this? It's much more powerful than imagined."
"I'm telling you clearly, it's not." Qian Xiao B said: "As for why it can become so strong and have its own thinking... maybe we can ask the instigator."
King Kong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately saw the one in front of him. On the edge of the river, there was a familiar figure standing there, with his back to them, looking at the endless river.
On the opposite side of the river bank are red-flowered Lycoris, or in other words, Bianhua, which is swaying with the breeze and looks extremely coquettish under the moonlight. The white-haired old man may be admiring it. Looking at this scene, the beauty can only be seen in hell.
"It's Granny Tao!" King Kong exclaimed.
“This is the Santu River.” Granny Tao murmured without looking back, “It is the boundary between life and death. Legend has it that once a person passes this boundary, he can no longer look back. I have seen countless partings between life and death with Master. I thought I would be used to it, but I never thought that when death comes to me, , after taking away the people I spent time with day and night, I found that it was just me..."
Qian Xiaoyi walked to Granny Tao without saying a word. Granny Tao was completely gone at this time. She looked at Santuchuan in the usual dazed way. There was no sadness on her face, but only confusion.
"Sometimes when you watch TV, you will be very sad after your loved ones leave, right?" Grandma Tao murmured, as if talking to herself or chatting with friends. Said: "But actually there are different reactions. During the period after my master left, apart from being a little lonely, I was not very sad because I knew that no matter who it was, there would be such a day. So I was forcing myself Try to get used to this kind of life.”
“But you can’t get used to that feeling.” Qian Xiaoyi said: “When people think that they have become accustomed to this kind of life, and after a long time, they have almost forgotten their sadness, they often At a certain moment, such as when eating, I suddenly thought of calling him to eat, but then remembered that he was no longer there. This feeling cannot be forgotten no matter what, and it will only become more melancholy as time goes by. "
"Yes..." Grandma Tao said with nostalgia: "The closer the person is, the greater the proportion she occupies in your life. She is an integral part of your life. When she leaves, she will accompany you. There will also be a big hole in that period of life that cannot be filled, and my heart is empty with nothing else to fill it with." Qian Xiaoyi said: "But it is precisely because you are a psychic that you try. Go fill this hole, because you are a very powerful psychic."
Grandma Tao reacted for the first time. She slowly turned her head and looked at Qian Xiaoyi. , said: "I know this is an impossible thing, but twenty years ago, that man appeared in front of me and he showed me something I had never thought of, so I believed it. He believes that with human power, he can bring the undead back from that world..."
Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "I can probably guess what's going on, but unfortunately, that's not true. It's possible that the thing brought back by that method is definitely not the person you are familiar with." Granny Tao looked at Qian Xiaoyi with despair in her eyes and said, "You are right. At first, I believed in this method and was very happy. Slowly, I finally confirmed that the thing I summoned was not her... But I couldn't stop it. The feeling of emptiness was too torturous. . And as time goes by, she starts to look less like that person and more like...a monster.”
"So you want to forget her." Qian Xiaoyi said: "You think that in this way, you can erase the existence of that thing, because you summoned it here, but unfortunately, it is already too late. "
"..." Grandma Tao was silent for a few seconds, and then said slowly: "After all, it was caused by me, and it has an important connection with my memories and the memories derived from them. The emptiness is the root of its existence. Just like you said, I thought that by erasing my own memory, I could dilute its existence. However, I forgot that this mountain has memory. I have gone through many experiences. The Ossan Festival Ceremony this time firmly tied that thing here, allowing it to continuously absorb nutrients and strengthen itself."
Qian Xiaoyi said: "But you can't do it at all because of your confused memory. When you remember what you have done, you will only slightly recall its existence when you host the annual Osan Festival."
"I originally thought that there was no hope," Grandma Tao said. I have been working hard to stop it. Once I go to that world, no one can suppress it. It will become the real master of Mount Osore, and I will make a huge mistake... And in this chaos In this state, I saw you, and I felt the familiar but completely different aura from you. Through this aura, I am sure that you have a wonderful connection with that person. Maybe you can save her..."< br>
Qian Xiaoyi sighed: "It would be nice if you could explain things clearly earlier, so that I don't have to face that thing in such a hurry... A zombie who is about to become a mountain god? It's really embarrassing. It belongs to people, especially since this is their territory.”
Granny Tao looked at the river in front of her and said, "Please, please send her back to the other side, no matter what she is..."
As she said that, Granny Tao's figure disappeared with the wind again. , Qian Xiaoyi understood that this was the reason why Granny Tao was in poor condition and her abilities were unstable. From such a distance, she was already very good at being able to cast her shadow.
"Forget it... Jingde, let me meet the monster you created." Qian Xiaoyi turned around and looked in the direction he came from.
At this moment, the statue of Jizo suddenly collapsed and collapsed, splashing countless water splashes in the blood pool, and the withered figure wearing a feathered cloth also fell in front of them from far to near.
