The Secret History of Mars.

In the energy control room, the comatose Taoyao gradually woke up. Seeing herself lying in the arms of her lover, she felt comforted. Everything before her coma slowly came back to her mind!

"Abai, are they telling the truth? Did you really sacrifice your soul to the pagoda to find me?!" Tao Yao looked up at Wuzhi Qi with tears in her eyes.

"Don't listen to Xiaoye's nonsense, it's not like that!" Wuzhiqi comforted Taoyao, "She only knows one, but not the other!"

"If a simple soul sacrifice to the pagoda can reveal your whereabouts, then I won't have to look for you for so long!" Wuzhiqi saw Taoyao's confused face and knew that she was half-convinced about his words, so he further explained,

"Xiaoye said that my three souls worshiped the pagoda, which is true. At that time, I could not find any trace of you when I went to heaven or on the earth, so I sincerely prayed to the Buddha and worshiped the pagoda, hoping to get some instructions!" Wuzhiqi said sincerely! .

"You are left alone to suffer in the world of mortals!" Taoyao said distressedly.

"It's not bitter, didn't we meet in the end!" Wuzhiqi looked at Taoyao lovingly.

"Then what?" Taoyao intuitively felt that the story Wuzhiqi wanted to tell had just begun.

"I have gained nothing from the first-level worship to the sixth-level pagoda, and the seventh-level pagoda requires cultivating the Buddha's eyes to see all sentient beings before you can log in!

Therefore, I was delayed for thousands of years, cultivating compassion.

Finally, when you practice to the point where the Buddha's eyes first open, you can try to go to the seventh-level pagoda. "

"The Seventh Level Pagoda! In that legend, it represents the highest divine state, a place that can only be reached by reaching the ultimate level of cultivation?!" There was a trace of yearning in Tao Yao's tone.

Unless one is born as a god, the ultimate goal of all living beings’ cultivation is to reach the seventh-level pagoda, which is the height that can be achieved through acquired cultivation and stand shoulder to shoulder with gods!

"Yes, that's right there." Wuzhiqi nodded and said,

"I thought that the endless mysterious power there might have some clues to find you." Wuzhiqi looked at Taoyao in his arms with love and recounted those torturous days.

“But what I saw when I arrived at the seventh-level pagoda completely changed my intention to become a Buddha!”

Tao Yao quietly leaned against Wuzhi Qi's chest, listening to his story. What was the reason that made Douzhan Buddha, who was already close to the Buddha's level of cultivation, not sit down when facing the God's throne at his fingertips, but turn around without hesitation and sink into it? In this mortal world, I don’t want to become a Buddha! ?

"If you want to become a Buddha, you must first become a demon!" Wuzhiqi said slowly, "That's the first level of the seven-level pagoda, the battle with the demon!"

"Playing against the devil?! Do you need to sacrifice three souls?" Tao Yao was a little frightened and asked.

"That's not necessary, it's just that the devil's contract was unacceptable to me, so I fought with him for hundreds of years!" Wuzhiqi's unruly spirit resurrected in his body when he mentioned this past event.

"Devil's contract? What does he want?" Taoyao felt a little nervous in her heart, and her intuition told her that it would not be a good thing.

"He needs a human sacrifice to resurrect the devil in my nature. After understanding and defeating it, he can climb to the top of the pagoda and finally become a Buddha!" ​​Wuzhiqi's voice became cold, so cold that Tao Yao was frightened. "Those sanctimonious gods, The so-called devil is also one of the sentient beings and needs to be treated with compassion!"

Wuzhiqi's eyes flashed with disdain. Such chaotic rules that did not distinguish between right and wrong were really in line with the attitude of high-level civilizations towards low-level civilizations. Just like humans from a three-dimensional civilization, they feel indifferent when they watch ants from a two-dimensional civilization cannibalizing the queen of the same kind!

"Human sacrifice! When we were in Buzhou Mountain, we had only heard of this priest method, but we all felt that the sin of killing was too heavy and was not suitable for the mind of a cultivator." Tao Yao recalled the only sacrifice she had from her previous life. memory.

"Yes, we all embarked on the path of spiritual practice under the guidance of that kind of thinking. Unexpectedly, to reach the pinnacle of spiritual practice, the last step is to resurrect one's own demons, completely subverting the previous beliefs." Wu Zhi Qi smiled bitterly. He did not want to become a Buddha, but he was happy to be called the "Victory Buddha" just because of the word "victory".

"So, you didn't sign a contract with the demon of the seventh-level pagoda, and you sacrificed human beings to resurrect your own demon?" Taoyao asked proudly, knowing that she did not fall in love with the wrong person.

"Of course not, and I can't let other people commit such evil!" Wuzhiqi sneered, "So, I will go there from time to time, turning their Taoist platform upside down, and beating up those demons who are about to be resurrected. Into hell!"

"This naturally offended a lot of people. At first, they just tried to imprison me. After all, I can reach the seventh-level pagoda, so they can't kill me casually.

Later, when they couldn't trap me, they began to besiege me, so every time I sacrificed three souls alive to make them disappear!

The power of the Three Souls Sacrificing Buddha near the pagoda shocked the top floor of the pagoda, so I was forced by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain. Later, I was led by a tightening curse and followed the golden cicada to obtain the true scriptures and tame the living beings.

Later, they gave me the title of ‘Victorious Buddha’ and prevented me from entering the seventh-level pagoda again! "

Wuzhiqi recalled the experience of wandering to another time and space in the cave of Yonghui Sun Palace in those years, and finally compromising with the god-level civilization.

In Ye Qinghe's eyes, these are all the three souls sacrificed to the pagoda. Thanks to her and Xiaoji, who helped him steal holy water from the hole where Qiyan and Lingshan meet, he was able to free his soul in two time and space. Wear it and you won’t lose your soul.

"After that, did they stop human sacrifice?" Taoyao has always been compassionate, and she wonders whether Wuzhiqi's huge sacrifice has changed the rules of the game at the Seven-Level Pagoda.

"No, but they promised to reduce the frequency and sacrifice three hundred children every hundred years. In exchange, they will ensure the continuation of the human species and will not be ruthless!" Wuzhiqi's tone was full of disappointment, but he could do it alone. , after fighting with them for hundreds of years, getting this result is better than nothing.

"Three hundred children are sacrificed every hundred years?!" Tao Yao's eyes widened in horror.

"Yes, in the previous life of our current earth, the Shiyi Period, known as the civilization and progress, once trapped more than 300 children in a ferry at the entrance of the Pengu Island Strait in Bengzi Kingdom, and resurrected the demons of that life. A human sacrifice!" In Wuzhiqi's long life, except for particularly unforgettable things, he rarely remembered them so clearly.

The reason why he was so impressed by that human sacrifice was that it was the only human sacrifice that Wuzhiqi witnessed during his travels around the world in modern civilization.

It was also the first time that he felt that what Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had mentioned to him before - hell is empty and demons are in the world - was so true!
