Chapter 1018 The Weird Old Monk
Just turning around, he saw a face stuck to his own. This situation was uncomfortable for anyone, not to mention that the face was upside down.
Liang Yan was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back. He didn't stop until he hit a stone.
At this moment, he realized that opposite him was a man hanging upside down by his feet at the top of the cave.
This man looked to be over seventy years old. He was extremely short, not even reaching Liang Yan’s shoulders. He was wearing a waxy yellow shabby monk’s robe. He was as skinny as a hungry man. An ascetic for more than ten days.
The most important thing is that the breath on this person's body seems to be non-existent, as if it doesn't exist at all. If it weren't for the hot breath he exhaled from his nose just now, Liang Yan might not have noticed him.
This kind of person either has no cultivation at all, or his cultivation is extremely high.
But here and now, it is obvious that he is not the first type of person.
"Senior, I didn't mean to disturb you. I was just being chased and had no choice but to end up here. Please forgive me, senior!" Liang Yan saluted with clasped fists in a very respectful manner.
After he finished saying this, he raised his eyes to secretly look at the old monk, but saw that the man's face was blank and his eyes were dull and dull, as if he had not heard at all.
"Senior?"
Liang Yan asked tentatively again.
The old monk's eyes were still dull, but he suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth, including one missing front tooth.
After this smile, the old monk jumped down from the cave where he was hanging upside down, took a few steps back, then clasped his hands in a fist, and assumed the same posture as Liang Yan.
The cave was eerily quiet for a while
The old man, the young man, the monk and the layman, all maintained the same posture at this time, each clasping their fists and saluting each other. They looked extremely weird
Liang Yan was confused, thought for a while, and suddenly stepped forward Taking one step, he bent down and squatted down.
Next, the old monk followed his example, took a step forward, hunched his back, and squatted on the ground.
"Is this man mentally ill?"
Liang Yan cursed in his heart, and couldn't help but send a message and asked: "Senior Shu Ling, can you tell his true identity?"
Since discovering the Xuanwu Flower, the encounters along the way have been very dangerous, and have long been beyond the scope of his knowledge at the Golden Core Realm. This has also made Liang Yan unknowingly develop a habit of always liking Taixu Hu in everything. I discussed it with the old tree spirit in the room and listened to his suggestions before making a decision.
Although the old man in the woods has always been tight-lipped about his origins, his knowledge far exceeds that of Liang Yan, and he has helped Liang Yan many times and even saved his life.
But this time, the other party did not give him any response.
"Senior Tree Spirit?"
Liang Yan was puzzled and asked several times using the technique of sound transmission, but all of them fell silent and no one answered at all.
"Strange!"
He subconsciously touched the Taixu Gourd at his waist, wanting to check what was going on inside. However, when his consciousness reached it, he was shocked!
The entire Taixu Gourd has been disconnected from itself, as if it was sealed by an invisible force, and it is impossible to sense the situation inside!
Even the four flying swords of Mayfly, Zi Lei, Black Lotus, and Dingguang lost contact at this time. Even if Liang Yanmo used the sword skills to maximize the spiritual power in his body, there was no Taixu Gourd. Any reaction to the four flying swords!
This time, he finally knew what it meant to be alone.
"What on earth is going on? Is it the fault of the person in front of me? Since he has such magical powers, why does he pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of me?"
Liang Yan was extremely wary at this time, but he looked at the other person He looks stupid and has no clue.
"Looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem to be trying to stop me. This place is so weird, so I'd better exit first."
When he thought of this, Liang Yan stopped messing around with the old monk. He stood up and walked towards the other side of the cave.
He stood still about ten feet away from the wall, his eyes slightly closed, and the Buddhist spiritual power in his body was quietly moving. While recalling all the details of Master Lotus Heart's attack, he used the "Sin Transformation Three Thousand" "Mutually.
At this moment, the flying sword is blocked, and the strongest killing move he can rely on is the "Eight Divisions of Evolution"!
In contrast, the short old monk also turned around, as if he had eyes on the back of his head. He imitated Liang Yan's movements and came to the wall. He also stood with his eyes closed, as if he was using some magical power.
At this time, Liang Yan naturally left him alone. Instead, he concentrated all his spiritual power on his right fist and punched forward.
I saw a sea of golden light spreading out, covering the entire cave in an instant, and there were hundreds of small worlds in the golden light. Each small world contained a bit of the power of the Buddha, and finally they all gathered together He entered the huge fist shadow in mid-air and flew towards the cave wall.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and Liang Yan punched his strongest punch in the form of "Sin Transforming Three Thousands". Although he was not able to evolve three thousand worlds like Master Lianxin, he still condensed hundreds of small worlds. Even though Even if you are in the late stage of Jindan's physical training, you may not be able to withstand this punch.
However, the entire cave wall only shook slightly, leaving no trace at all!
“How is that possible?!”
Liang Yan couldn’t help but take a step back, his eyes full of shock.
His punch, not to mention splitting mountains and rivers, but a mere stone wall should have been beaten into powder long ago.
But now the surroundings were so quiet, as if the punch just now was just an illusion.
Liang Yan was shocked and confused. He couldn't help but look back at the old monk behind him, only to see that he also followed his example and punched forward, but the fist was soft and without any power. Not even a sound was made in the air.
"Senior, do you know where this place is?"
Liang Yan pondered for a while and then asked again.
His voice echoed in the empty cave and received several echoes, but he did not wait for the old monk's answer.
"Is this person really confused?"
Liang Yan looked at his sluggish look and was not sure whether this person was pretending to be crazy or not. He stayed silent for a while and suddenly raised his right hand. , punched this person. There was no sign of this punch. It was a blow used by Liang Yan to test the opponent. While he was punching, he was also observing secretly. If the opponent really did not dodge and did not use any magical powers to defend, then he would attack the opponent. Hold your fists.
After all, the two parties were strangers to each other, and he did not want to directly kill the other party with a punch.
Just when his fist was about to fall on the old monk, the sound of Buddhist chants suddenly sounded in the cave. The next moment, the entire cave was filled with golden light, which actually dispersed all the surrounding darkness!
Liang Yan was shocked and involuntarily slowed down. When he looked up, he found that there were many Buddha statues carved on the top of the cave wall.
It’s just that it was too dark here just now, so he didn’t notice it right away.
Looking carefully now, I found that these Buddha statues are large and small, and the paintings are very rough, as if they were graffiti at random.
But at this moment, every Buddha portrait is emitting dazzling golden light, as if Liang Yan’s punch to the old monk has angered all the Buddhas on these mountain walls and wants to punish him. .
Shocked by this powerful aura, Liang Yan also felt a trace of hesitation in his heart. He involuntarily closed his fist and took three steps back.
He raised his eyes and looked up, and saw that these Buddhas were all different. Some had big bellies and kind eyes, some had fat heads and big ears, and their faces were full of joy. Some had broad shoulders and long arms, and some had angry eyes. Some were skinny and had exposed eyes. The look of pity.
Without exception, these Buddhas were all staring at him. Liang Yan looked around the cave and felt that each of them looked aloof, as if they had seen through him at a glance and were judging him for his past crimes. .
The kind-hearted person seems to be persuading himself to change his ways, the compassionate person seems to be sighing for himself, and the angry-eyed person seems to have regarded himself as a devil, and is afraid that he will take action at the next moment. Conquer the devil!
Under the gaze of the Buddhas above his head, Liang Yan suddenly felt in a trance. He had been practicing Taoism for nearly a hundred years, and everything that had happened before flashed through his mind one by one like a horse watching a flower.
The Zhang family was destroyed in Cangya Mountain, the sword and stone were stolen in Qingyu Mountain, the "Feast of Hundreds of Fruits" was held, the struggle for hegemony in Hell, the demon slaying in the North Sea, and the sword challenge at Yixing Pavilion.
Things from the past came to mind one by one. Every time the scene flashed, there was a Buddha statue on the rock wall on the top of the mountain showing a sneer, pity, sigh, anger, etc., as if convicting him of his past and urging him to put down the butcher's knife and turn around.
Liang Yan, who originally concentrated his spiritual energy on his right fist, could not help but slowly loosen his fist at this time, and his eyes gradually became a little confused, as if he was trying to remember something, but couldn't remember it for the moment.
Just when his eyes became more and more distracted, his body was suddenly hit hard by someone, and then his feet slipped and he rolled backwards involuntarily.
Bang!
Liang Yan didn't wake up suddenly until he hit an angular stone.
He was sweating profusely and couldn't help but look up and saw that the person who had knocked him awake just now was the short old monk with dull eyes.
The man's expression was still dull, but he did not imitate Liang Yan's movements just now. Instead, he hit him hard when he was about to lose his self-consciousness.
Liang Yan's soul returned to his senses at this time, and his vest was already soaked with sweat. However, before he could say any words of thanks, the golden light in the cave suddenly dissipated, and all the Buddhas in the sky also dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, a strange and inexplicable force began to fill the cave, and the portraits on the mountain wall gradually became distorted. The old monk, who was originally kind and kind, turned into a hungry ghost with saliva at his mouth, and the young monk, who was originally an angry man, , also turned into a Yaksha with three heads and six arms.
The Buddha statues are still the same Buddha statues, but their appearance has changed slightly, and they have undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally sacred and solemn Buddhist holy land turned into a Shura field for hungry ghosts in hell in a blink of an eye!
The old monk suddenly trembled all over, and his dull eyes gradually became clear. He seemed to be very afraid of the demons dancing above him. He actually shrank his neck, hugged his knees with his hands, and squatted down at Liang Yan's feet.
He was originally a very short stature, and now he was squatting with his knees in his arms, just like a wooden bench, and he looked very inconspicuous.
Liang Yan frowned slightly and glanced down at him. He saw that the man was shaking and his eyes were full of fear. It didn't look like he was pretending.
“Are you afraid?”
Liang Yan suddenly asked.
The old monk seemed to understand this time and hurriedly covered his eyes and nodded.
Liang Yan blinked and suddenly thought of something, and said, "Don't be afraid! I'll help you block them. Can you tell me how to get out of here?"
This time I will help you stop them. The monk nodded again.
Liang Yan's face lit up when he saw this, and he hurriedly activated the Buddhist spiritual power in his body. All the dharmas were displayed, and a layer of golden light covered himself and the old monk.
He has long seen that these demons only have evil thoughts and no actual power. Let alone him, even a determined monk in the Juyuan Realm will not be greatly affected. influence.
Liang Yan had just observed Master Lianxin's magical powers, and his understanding of the "Eight Parts of Evolution" was even better than before. At this time, the "Empty Phase of All Dharmas" was deployed, immediately blocking the evil thoughts of those demon statues.
The old monk in yellow clothes was in the golden light, and his expression gradually calmed down. He glanced around, suddenly picked up a stone at his feet, and started drawing on the ground.
Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not interrupt him loudly, but watched carefully from the side.
Within a moment’s effort, the old monk’s first painting was completed. In the painting is a young monk who is eager to learn in the Sutra Pavilion. There are all kinds of exercises, magical powers, and allusions. , seems to be something he is eager to understand.
He paused only for a moment, picked up the stone again, and continued to draw.
In the second painting, there is a middle-aged monk who seems to have accomplished Buddhism and has unfathomable magical powers. But his eyes still held the curiosity of his youth, and in order to explore more unknown things, he came to a magnificent pagoda.
The next is the third painting. The monk in the painting seems to have thoroughly studied all the Buddhist dharma and scriptures in the pagoda. His eyes no longer have the curiosity of his youth, but are full of confusion.
Liang Yan saw that he had finished painting here, and suddenly his heart moved. He subconsciously took a step back away from this person, and then asked: "These Buddha statues and murals on the mountain wall were all painted by you yourself. ?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old monk raised his head, looked at him deeply with his cloudy eyes, and after a while, he suddenly nodded.
After Liang Yan got his affirmative answer, he was also surprised. Although the old monk looked crazy, he definitely didn't look like a demon. Why did the statues of Buddha he painted turn out to be different in the end? Became a demon and a devil?
"Who are you? What happened back then?"
At this moment, Liang Yan could finally see that the portrait the old monk drew on the ground was actually his own past.
It seems that this person should be a very talented Buddhist wise man. He has read Buddhist scriptures since he was a child and has achieved success in cultivation. He just doesn’t know why he is trapped in such a place.
Just when he was confused, the corners of the old monk's eyes suddenly twitched. Instead of looking at Liang Yan, he lowered his head, picked up a stone and silently drew his first words on the ground. Four paintings.
