one step closer to the end

Hei Banruo was stunned suddenly, only looking at an old monk in his twilight years, leading a group of disciples slowly out of the crowd, his appearance could be vaguely seen on his wrinkled face, and the surrounding believers shouted three times. Way Master.

The old Hei Banruo slowly walked up the jade steps, twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, knelt in front of the soul-suppressing pagoda and worshiped piously. Believers have their heads pounding like garlic.

"It's time to open the door..."

Zhao Guanren knew at a glance that the pagoda door could be opened as soon as it was lit, and at the same time, a crack was exposed in the pagoda door.

With the support of his apprentices, the old monk pressed the door on the door with a little excitement, but he didn't even respond to pushing the tower door a few times, and his face instantly became ugly.

"What's going on? Could it be that Master Santu couldn't open the door..."

All the believers started discussing in amazement, and the old Hei Banruo quickly stretched out his hands and pushed the door with all his strength, but the tower door remained motionless.

"Alas~ It seems that Master Santu also has distracting thoughts in his heart, and if he is not sincere, he will not be able to open the door..."

The believers sighed one after another, and there was no look of worship on their faces, but some people asked: "The Bright Tower has protected us for hundreds of years and prevented us from many disasters. No one has ever been able to open the door. Why is it impossible to go in?" Woolen cloth?"

"What do you say?"

Someone replied: "The demons are extinct! Keeping the Tower of Souls is just for decoration, why not take out the treasure inside and find a shortcut to ascend to immortality, who doesn't want to become immortal?"

"This this……"

The old Hei Banruo was standing in front of the pagoda gate, trembling with anxiety, but a young monk pushed the door and said: "Master! Don't worry, I think the pagoda gate is very old, maybe... "

"Squeak~"

The pagoda door suddenly opened miraculously, and the young monk fell headlong into it. The old Hei Banruo's eyes widened in shock.

But the kneeling believers didn't see it clearly, and they all exclaimed: "It's opened! Master Santu opened the Soul Rescue Pagoda. Master is really a living Bodhisattva!"

"Amitabha!"

The old monk straightened his hunched back slowly, waved away the remaining disciples, stepped in alone and helped the young monk up, and asked in a low voice, "Disciple! How did you open the door?"

"I don't know! It may be that the master has already opened it, and the disciple just exerted a little force..."

The young monk shook his head blankly, and the old monk smiled as expected, waved the young monk away quickly, and browsed the situation in the tower alone.

"This little monk is the same as I was back then, I don't know how to open the door..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said, "Old Hei! Look carefully, your knot is here, and I don't need to guess what will happen next. It must be you... who released the Lord of Darkness!"

"Me? How is this possible..."

Hei Banruo took half a step back in surprise, but unexpectedly the picture changed suddenly, and the radiant tower of suppressing souls was billowing with black smoke, the believers outside were terrified, and the little monks rushed inside in panic.

"Hahaha……"

Someone in the tower laughed wildly and said, "Zhao Ziqiang! You locked me up for hundreds of years, but you still let me out. Today I will bring the darkness back to the earth, and turn all these stupid and greedy people into my slaves!"

"Wow~"

A monstrous black air rushed out of the Soul Rescue Tower, sweeping across the entire city in an instant, followed by a crackling sound, and the fleeing people exploded to death one after another, bloody skulls were piled into pieces Flying up, it clings to the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda with a splash.

"..."

The picture ended here, and the dumbfounded demon kings finally understood that this was the origin of the Skull Tower.

Greedy human beings were not satisfied with the status quo, so they found a black prajna, and finally released the remnant soul of the Lord of Darkness. It used millions of dead human skulls to pollute the Soul Requiem Tower into a magic weapon.

"Puff~"

Hei Banruo sat down on the ground with a pale complexion, and said in a trembling voice: "It's really me, I released this big devil, why, why did I release it?"

"You can't stand the temptation..."

Zhao Guanren squatted down to support him, and said: "The black devil tempted me with sweet words, saying that he would make me immortal and become the king of the whole world. Not everyone can resist this kind of temptation!"

Hei Banruo trembled and said: "Tell me, I can't open the door, is it really because I am not sincere?"

"Do you think I'm sincere? I don't even know what the Skull Tower is..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head and said: "Opening the door has nothing to do with sincerity or insincerity, but it has become a knot in your heart. You have eaten vegetarian food and recited Buddha all your life, but at the end of your life, you are not recognized, and then you start to doubt yourself, have distracting thoughts in your heart, and then you are blackmailed." Once the devil stimulates you, you will completely degenerate!"

"No!"

Hei Prajna shook his head in pain and said: "After all, I have a demon in my heart. If I don't care about the false name and truly achieve all four elements, it is impossible to be used by the black demon. I am not worthy of being a monk, and the master should not pass on the mantle to me. I'm sorry His old man!"

Hei Prajna actually shed two lines of blood and tears. This was the first time since Zhao Guanren knew him that he saw this sinister fake monk sincerely repenting.

"Whoa~"

Hei Banruo suddenly threw down the Zen staff, got up and slowly took off the black cassock, clad only in a commoner garment, clasped his hands in front of him, and strode towards the road to hell on the left.

"Monk! Where are you going? You went wrong..."

Si Ming hurriedly yelled, but Hei Banruo said without turning his head: "It's not wrong! I have committed a lot of crimes in the three journeys, and I have no face to face my ancestors. I am not worthy of becoming a Buddha immediately. I want to redeem my sins in hell." , Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha!"

"Santu!"

Zhao Guanren yelled subconsciously, and actually felt a little reluctant to give up on this bad monk who always wanted to chant the Great Compassion Mantra for him, but seeing a flash of golden light, Hei Banruo took big strides without hesitation, and stepped into the gate of hell... …

Chapter 0233 Choice

"Shu~"

Dazzling golden light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone closed their eyes subconsciously, but when they opened their eyes again, Hei Banruo had disappeared, the flesh and soul were not separated, and the corpse was not left behind. There was only a little golden retriever lying on the ground alone.

"Where did the monk go? Could it be that he chose the right one..."

Si Ming stared blankly, and the others were also blank.

"I don't think there's any right answer..."

Zhao Guanren smiled gratifiedly and said, "As long as the monk lets go of his obsessions and sincerely atones for his sins, he can pass the test no matter which way he chooses, of course! As long as he sincerely repents, he will naturally choose to go to hell, so the monk must be Passed!"

Si Ming frowned and asked, "Then what is my obsession, is it hatred?"

"You should ask your conscience, the dead also have a conscience..."

Zhao Guanren stepped forward to poke his heart, and said: "Are you rebelling for revenge, or are you making an excuse for yourself, just wanting to surpass Yong Ye and become a new King of Eternal Night? There is a great difference between the two. Big difference!"

"I'm……"

Si Ming clenched his fists with a complex expression, and suddenly sighed: "Alas~ Actually, I am doing it for myself. Although I hate and hate, but compared to my inner desire, it is insignificant. I want to replace Yongye to rule the world. Maybe it's a selfish person!"

"Me too……"

Xuan Ye lowered his head and said: "My hatred is all faked. Seeing my homeland being slaughtered, I don't really feel much in my heart, because I do the same thing every day, but I am angry that I was deceived by others." !"

"Guan Ren!"

Si Ming struggled and said: "I really can't have no desires and no desires. Living in the environment of the dead, if you don't enter, you will die. I don't want to die yet!"

"You can choose to put down the butcher knife, you are the number one executioner of the dead..."

Zhao Guanren said: "The former Sadan is now my good brother. Its greatest wish is to go to the mountains and become an unrestrained monster. Fame and fortune have nothing to do with it. Why can't you two learn from it and become a mountain villager? "

"I want to calm down and calm down, calm down and think about it..."

Si Ming patted his head and sat on the rock, and Xuan Ye also sat down cross-legged.

"Ah~"

Palace Master Yuxiao said dejectedly: "You all have knots, but I can't even tell who I am, let alone where the knots are. It doesn't matter to me whether I can live or not!"

"Then forget everything and start over..."

Zhao Guanren pointed to the road of reincarnation, and said: "You are a person whose life is not yet over, you can choose to start from the beginning, and you can tell us what kind of person you want to be in the future, as long as one of us can get out, we will follow your plan." Ideas, tell me what kind of person you are!"

"Do you have a pen and paper? I'll write it down for you..."

Palace Master Yuxiao clenched his teeth as if he had made up his mind. Zhao Guanren took out a pen and paper from his pocket and handed it to her, and then said: "What I said was just a suggestion. Only you know where your knots and obsessions are. Think about it and don't worry!"

"Guan Ren!"

Du Sha said: "The only thing I can't let go of is the Sea Clan. I can do everything for the Sea Clan, but I don't know what to do. Can you teach me?"

"You are very simple, just be yourself..."

Zhao Guanren said: "You have controlled the Hai Clan for hundreds of years, but let the Hai Clan go downhill. This shows that your ability is not good, and you should have surrendered to the virtuous. I think you can try to go to heaven. At least for the Hai Clan, you are very good." Great, but you have to really let go of your baggage!"

"Huh~ Then I should die here..."

Dusha took a deep breath and said: "If I don't die for a day, the Queen of the Sea Crystal Crown will not be broken, and my successor will not be recognized. If you can get out alive, please take care of the Sea Clan and tell my successor at the same time. Or, let her let go and do it, don't go my old way!"

"I'll do my best, but you have to think about it..."

Zhao Guanren stared at her seriously, but Du Sha stepped forward and kissed him lightly, and said with a smile: "You said that my ability is not good enough, what else can I think about, if there is an afterlife, I hope to meet you again , my Young Master Xu Xian!"

"Good luck!"

Zhao Guanren nodded helplessly, and Si Ming and Xuan Ye also hurriedly stood up, watching Du Sha slowly swim to the road to hell, and Du Sha looked up at the sky again, muttering to herself: "O Sea God! I have come to serve you, and protect my family from the sea of ​​suffering!"

"Shu~"

Du Sha plunged into the road to hell, and disappeared suddenly after a flash of golden light. Qin Biqing exclaimed: "Du Sha has cleared the level, and she has also untied her knot. I want to try it too!"

"Just try anything, have you let go of your hatred..."

Zhao Guanren hurriedly wanted to grab her, but Qin Biqing jumped in front of the reincarnation circuit in one fell swoop.

"Haha~"

Qin Biqing turned her head and said with a playful smile: "I kowtow to my sister Shengxue, how can there be any hatred, I am very happy now, if I fail, you must set up a tomb for me, and engrave it with love The tomb of his wife Zhao Qin!"

"Shu~"

Qin Biqing jumped into the loop of reincarnation, and Zhao Guanren's heart was beating in shock, but she also had a flash of golden light, and she disappeared in an instant.

"Is that okay?"

Si Ming and Xuan Ye were both depressed, and Zhao Guanren patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "It's good to be simple-minded, and your temper can come and go quickly. It's really a blessing for a fool!"

"Go so fast, don't wait for me..."

Palace Master Yuxiao handed them a few pieces of paper and said with a smile: "I want to be a simple man in my next life. If you meet me, please show me this piece of paper and don't drag me into the muddy water again." Alright, thank you all in advance, let's go!"

Palace Mistress Yuxiao shot at Samsara Road with a flap of her wings, but with a "bang", she was blown up into ashes, which made everyone dumbfounded.

"Oops! I overlooked one thing..."

Zhao Guanren patted his head and said angrily: "Yu Xiao was also a monk before his death. Although he looks very young, his actual age may have passed a hundred years ago. He has exhausted his lifespan. Sigh~ I killed her!"

"It's not your fault..."

Bai Ming held him in his arms and comforted him: "If she really has solved her knot, she should be able to pass the level no matter which way she chooses. She must have acted rashly without thinking clearly, and naturally she will not be able to pass the level!"

"Shengxue! Have you thought about it..."

Zhao Guanren caressed her short hair, but Bai Ming smiled miserably: "A person who doesn't even know how to die, how can it be so easy to untie, not to mention that even Yong Ye said I was a cruel woman, said Maybe I’m the one who asked to be turned into a corpse on my own initiative! Sigh~”

"I understand, in fact, your heart has not obeyed me..."

Zhao Guanren said seriously: "You only care about moral constraints, and you call me husband, but you still think of yourself as Baiming, not Liu Shengxue, and not Zhao Liushi, otherwise you don't have to care about those things at all, you have to cut off the past." Just do it!"

"I……"

Bai Ming opened his mouth and was speechless, but Zhao Guanren said again: "Let's do this! Let me take a step first, maybe I can help you think clearly!"

Bai Ming hurriedly asked: "What is your knot, have you solved it?"

"Of course my knot is my mother and Zhou Miao..."

Zhao Guanren walked straight to the road to hell, and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid I won't be able to untie this knot. One of them is below and the other is above. I can only choose one, but at least Zhou Miao is still alive. If you go out Help me rescue her, and tell her that I'm going to accompany my mother!"

"No! You should go to heaven, not to..."

Bai Ming shouted and rushed over, but Zhao Guanren stepped in one step, his body fell to the ground with a "thud", and his soul staggered two steps forward before stopping.

"Oops! He didn't clear the level..."

Si Ming and Xuan Ye's eyes widened in horror, Bai Ming also fell to the ground, crying beside Zhao Guanren's body.

"Silly girl! Why are you crying..."

Zhao Guanren's soul turned back and smiled: "My mother gave me my life, she is still waiting for me to give her money, how can I not go, you try to take my body out, if you can get out you Just bury me, just give me a grave every year!"

"Shu~"

A black iron chain suddenly shot out from the depths, locked Zhao Guanren's neck, and dragged him into the pitch-black depths.

"Do not!!!"

Immediately, Bai Ming jumped up crazily, desperately wanting to chase in.
