Chapter 2014 The other side of the lake
There is no water below the lake, but endless darkness.
Liang Yan felt that the world was spinning, the stars were moving, everything around him was changing, and he gradually couldn't sense the breath of other people. Only Xiong Yuer was tightly held by him, always following him.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard a “plop” sound again, and water splashed everywhere!
“Huh?”
Liang Yan emerged from under the water, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
I actually resurfaced, but the surrounding scenery was completely different. Instead of the lush green forest, there was a barren gray desert.
"What's going on? Is this still where we were just now?"
Liang Yan's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly felt that his thigh was being hugged tightly. He hurriedly reached out and pulled Xiong Yuer'er. Also pulled out of the water.
Wow!
As soon as Xiong Yue'er showed her head, she spit out water and her face looked a little pale.
After a long time, she calmed down, looked around with her eyes wide open, and murmured: "Master, where are we?"
Liang Yan did not answer. .
He was also very confused now. He secretly released his spiritual consciousness and began to check the surrounding situation.
I saw a gray desert on the shore, completely different from the vibrant forest before. There was no breath of living things here, only deathly silence.
Not long after, he sensed a fishy smell that was nauseating!
Liang Yan's face changed slightly, and he was about to take a closer look when he suddenly heard the sound of splashing water, waves appeared not far away, and another person emerged from the water.
But he is the Lesser Saint who forgot to return to the city. He is not to blame!
"Brother Liang?"
Seeing Liang Yan, Gui Wujiu's face relaxed a lot and nodded slightly to him.
Next, water splashed continuously, and the familiar figures of Lord Da Ku, Gu Tian, Bei Mingjing, Gui Wuqi, Lord Fuhu, and Wang Chonghua emerged from the water one after another.
The heroes of Nanxuan gathered together again, left the lake and returned to the shore.
Gui Wuqi quickly counted the number of people and found that no one was missing and all the monks were here.
“Amitabha.”
The Venerable Great Sufferer looked pleased: “Fortunately, no one was killed in the battle. If someone else dies here, the poor monk will be blamed.”
"However, five fellow Taoists have already died." Gui Wuqi glanced at him and said solemnly: "This 'Daluo Cave' is obviously the inherited blessed land of your Luotian Mountain, why are there monsters? Now it's harmful Five fellow Taoists have died. I hope you can give me an explanation.”
Hearing this, Venerable Great Ku looked sad and said nothing, but he didn’t know how to answer.
Everyone in Luotian Mountain was like this. Many monks whispered, doubting the inheritance of their sect for the first time.
After a while, Gu Tian also said: "Great suffering, it's not that I want to question you, it's just that this place is really weird. Look around you. Where does it look like a quiet place in Buddhism?"
"this"
Lord Da Ku looked around, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
There is only an endless gray desert here, without any aura, like a prison.
“How could this happen?” Venerable Da Ku murmured: “Our Luotian Mountain has been passed down from generation to generation, and the ‘Da Luo Cave Heaven’ is a quiet and precious place. The essence of Buddhism in Luotian Mountain is hidden here, and it can be learned through it. Holy Land! It should never be like this."
"Look!"
Liang Yan, who had been silent before, suddenly pointed to the lake behind him.
Everyone came back to their senses and looked towards the lake.
I saw a forest reflected in the lake. It was lush and full of vitality. It was the dense forest where everyone was just now!
“Does this mean that the place we were in just now was just a bubble in the water, and now this is the real ‘Da Luo Cave Sky’?”
“Illusions, all illusions!”
Master Da Ku couldn't help but take a step back. Because he had been injured before, his feet were weak and he actually fell to the ground.
He was a Buddhist monk, but he didn't care about his image at all at this moment. He just looked at the lake blankly, as if he had been greatly shocked.
Fu Hu, Xuan Ye, and Fu Hai also had blank expressions on their faces, as if their Taoist hearts had been damaged, and they were stunned for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan sighed and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, there is no point in blaming yourself. This is your secret realm in Luotian Mountain after all. I hope the four fellow Taoists can cheer up and take us out of here. "
After hearing his words, Venerable Fuhu came back to his senses, but his face was still blank: "We also know about 'Daluo Cave'. Very few. Although it is recorded in the sect's classics, it is completely different from what we see before us, so we don't know where the exit is."
Liang Yan frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Then here. Has no one ever entered Luo Tianshan before? Someone from your mountain master or senior uncle must have entered this place, right?”
Venerable Fuhu thought for a while and replied: "The conditions for entering the Daluo Cave are very strict. It is said that many seniors have enlightened here in history, but in the past ten thousand years, only one person has been allowed to enter except the mountain owner. This place."
"Who is that person? Didn't he tell you about this place after he came out?" Liang Yan asked.
Venus Fuhu shook his head and said: "The person who was allowed to enter this place is Master Wu Nian. He is the most prodigy in Luotian Mountain in ancient and modern times. He has practiced for eight hundred years and became a sub-sage. He has already become a sub-sage before a thousand years. The pinnacle of saints, half-step saint! That's why he was allowed to enter the 'Da Luo Secret Realm'. But unfortunately, he did not choose to enter the 'Da Luo Secret Realm'. Luo Dongtian', instead argued with the master of the mountain, Uncle Chanji, on the Shenji Peak, and finally left behind the two characters "Fo Wu" and rebelled against Luotian Mountain. Later, there were rumors that he turned from Buddha to demon and turned to the devil's path. It has nothing to do with our Luo Tianshan."
When Liang Yan heard this, he thought of a person.
“Comrade Buddha and Demon, is it him?!”
The figure of the old monk in yellow appeared in his mind. It was this man who broke into Tianhe City alone and helped him achieve the Hunyuan Avenue!
"Then do you know the whereabouts of Senior Wu Nian?" Liang Yan asked.
“Uncle Wu Nian disappeared after becoming a demon. We don’t know where he went. Moreover, this is a scandal in Luotian Mountain. The mountain owner forbids us from talking about it. The brothers occasionally mentioned it in private, and only Feeling sad."
After hearing this, Liang Yan said, He secretly thought in his heart: "It seems that it is him without a doubt! He has been suppressed in the 'Jiuqu Yellow River Tower' for these years after disappearing. However, looking at his appearance, it seems that he was willing to be suppressed, but I don't know why?"
He would naturally not express these thoughts in his heart.
I heard Venerable Fuhu continue: "After Master Wu Nian disappeared, no one in Luotian Mountain was allowed to enter the 'Daluo Cave'. Later, the mountain owner also disappeared. We, Luotian Mountain, were leaderless. If it hadn't been for this situation, Special, I’m afraid the ‘Daluo Cave’ will never be opened.”
Everyone in Nanxuan couldn’t help but sigh when they heard this.
"After all, no one understands the situation here. You, Luo Tianshan, have really harmed all of us this time!"
The speaker was a casual cultivator, Wearing a Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk, he has the ability to overcome calamities and overcome three difficulties, and his tone is full of complaints.
Actually, it is not just him, many people think so, but due to the strength of the four Luotian Lords, they do not say it easily. "Well, the matter has come to this, and it's useless to complain." Gui Wujiu sighed: "Let's look around and find a way to leave here, and then make other plans."
After hearing his words, everyone was helpless.
Indeed, at this point, it would be useless even to kill the four Luotians. Besides, we still have to rely on the four of them. Maybe we can find a way out.
"I feel that there seems to be an unusual aura in the southwest."
Liang Yan pointed to the distance and muttered: "In order to prevent accidents, let's not disperse for the time being. Let's go first Let’s explore this direction.”
Regarding his proposal, Gui Wujiu, Gu Tian and others all nodded slightly.
"Yes, the situation is unclear now, and it is not wise to disperse our forces. Let's move in the direction pointed by Fellow Daoist Liang."
Everyone quickly reached an agreement and slowly moved forward to the southwest. .
After walking like this for about a quarter of an hour, a huge iron pillar appeared in the desert ahead, over a hundred feet high and as thick as ten people's arms.
The few Yashengs walking at the front stopped at the same time, with looks of horror on their faces.
Because they saw a chain hanging from the top of the iron pillar. The chain was hanging down, and at the end was an iron hook, stained with blood, hooking a corpse.
The wind blows in the desert and the sky is filled with dust, but the body is motionless in the wind. I don’t know how many years it has been dead, and it has been hanging here like this
What’s even weirder is that The corpse was wearing a monk's robe and had a ring scar on its head. It looked like it was a monk from Luotian Mountain!
Seeing this scene, Da Ku, Xuan Ye, Fu Hu and others could not help but feel their hearts beat faster and their breaths became a little disordered.
Without the slightest hesitation, the four Luo Tian deities made magic spells at the same time and quickly flew over.
They looked up at the corpse hooked by the iron hook, and they all fell into silence. After a long while, they heard Master Fuhu murmur: "If I remember correctly, this should be Senior Zen Ji."
"Well, I have seen his portrait in the ancestor's ancestral hall, and it is unmistakable." Xuan Ye nodded.
"Senior Zen Ji was also amazingly talented back then. How could he die here? Die in Daluo Cave?" Venerable Fu Hai had an expression of disbelief on his face.
The expressions on the four Luo Tian's faces were extremely serious.
At the same time, people from Nanxuan also came over one after another.
Liang Yan looked at the corpse above his head, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.
"He did not die from passing away. Before his death, his essence and blood were drained. Now it can be confirmed that this 'Da Luo Cave Heaven' is definitely not a place of inheritance. There must be a secret here!" Liang Yan said in a deep voice.
“Even the eminent monks of your sect died here, what happened?” Gui Wujiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Unable to answer, Venerable Great Ku could only silently cast a spell, put down Zen Ji's body, and temporarily put it into the storage space.
“Look further ahead. If I guess correctly, there are more corpses ahead.”
Liang Yan said and led everyone to move forward.
Sure enough, iron pillars appeared one after another along the way, and on each iron pillar hung the body of a senior monk from Luotian Mountain.
The death of these people was extremely miserable. Most of them had their essence and blood drained away, leaving only skin and bones. Their eyes were gouged out, leaving only two empty eye sockets
" This place is simply purgatory, your Luo Tianshan purgatory!" Gui Wuqi said in horror.
Gui Wujiu glanced at him and shook his head slightly, signaling his nephew not to say more.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.
"Be careful, everyone, there is the smell of a living person in front of you." Liang Yan suddenly spoke.
The other Asian Saints were slightly surprised after hearing this.
"My Taoist companion's spiritual consciousness is really far stronger than ours. Everything he said along the way is true! It seems we have to be careful, there may be danger ahead." Gu Tian said in a deep voice.
“Yeah.”
Gui Wujiu nodded and said to Gui Wuqi: "Stand behind me and remember, no matter what happens, you have to live."
After hearing this, Gui Wuqi was slightly startled, a little confused. He looked at his uncle in surprise, as if he felt a little strange.
But Gui Wujiu didn't look at him and turned around, leaving only his back.
"Let's go, let's go see what kind of existence is ahead."
Everyone set off again and walked along the southwest direction for a stick of incense, when a wave of incense floated in the distance. The stench is nauseating.
"That is."
Gui Wujiu, Gu Tian and others' pupils shrank, with horrified expressions on their faces.
In the distance, a huge monk sat cross-legged on the ground, over a hundred feet tall, like a mountain of meat!
Wearing a red cassock and holding a sandalwood rosary, he should have looked majestic, but his eyes were cloudy, his mouth was drooling, and his fat body was shaking like mud!
"harsh harsh harsh"
Seeing the crowd arriving, the monk let out a weird laugh.
Looking carefully, there are hundreds of blood holes on his body, and black worms are drilling in and out of his body, exuding a rotten stench!
"Uncle!"
The four of them exclaimed at the same time, and among them, Venerable Great Ku knelt down involuntarily.
“Mountain Master!”
All the monks in Luotian bowed down at this moment, kowtowing to the monk who looked like a mountain of flesh.
Liang Yan was shocked when he saw this scene, and secretly thought: "This person in front of me is actually the mountain master of Luotian Mountain, a saint? Why does he look so disgusting!"
It’s not like he has never seen the appearance of a saint before. Which one of Linghu Bai, Li Yuxian and Wei Wenxiang is not the most magnificent? Who is like this puddle of mud?
But looking at the expressions of the monks in Luotian Mountain, this person’s identity should not be false.
Just when he was confused, Liang Yan's heart skipped a beat, and a huge warning sign suddenly appeared.
He turned his eyes and saw that the monk's right index finger moved obviously.
"No! Everyone retreat!"
Liang Yan shouted loudly and used magic to roll up Xiong Yuer, Wu Xin, Li Xiran and others. They turned into escaping light and retreated dozens of miles in an instant. .
As for the other monks, when they saw the strange appearance of the monk, they were wary and did not approach easily.
Hearing Liang Yan’s call again, these people retreated without hesitation!
Only Venerable Great Ku was still kneeling on the spot, looking at the monk in front of him dreamily, as if he was fascinated by something.
Bang!
Hearing a dull loud noise, the body of Lord Great Ku exploded like a watermelon and turned into a ball of blood mist in full view of everyone.
