East

Fang Hai asked this question, but it came a little suddenly.Obviously the two had never met before, but Fang Haiwen immediately concluded that he was Gu Donglai at first glance.

I'm afraid this is something a fancy 'butterfly' didn't expect.

Before this, as a puppet, this person has not stepped out of this demon cave for 36 years.At this moment, under the condition of being under the control of demons, he made such a judgment.

Combined, he was able to bear and hide under that kind of torture before.Such a person, if he really became a monk who was so weak and righteous that he betrayed his master and younger brother? There are indeed many inexplicable contradictions.

But Gu Donglai is not the kind of person who will win his trust if he is deceived.Despite his impression of the disciples of Longquan Mountain.Still stuck in that memory.

But he is cautious by nature and not so trusting of others.Even if he is found out, he won't reveal his true colors easily until he shows up, so after a second thought, 'Butterfly' let out a series of 'ridiculous' laughter.

"...Fang Hai asked,? You think about your situation very well."

Gu Donglai said so.

"I'm just a demon practicing in this world,? I'm not a kind person. You don't think that your junior brother and that Ming king will come to save you, do you? They have long regarded you as the subordinate of the demon, and now you can't do it. It’s hard to protect myself.”

Saying that, this purple 'butterfly' stopped outside the barrier where the man was imprisoned to look at him, and flapped its wings again.Regarding this, Fang Haiwen heard it.But he didn't seem to care about Gu Donglai's temptation.

"Ming Wang thinks it doesn't matter what I do."

"But no matter who comes now, they can't save me, who is no longer human or ghost,? Fang Haiwen has been imprisoned here for many years, and he has never expected others to really rescue me from here."

Fang Haiwen said this very lightly with his drooping eyes, but it hinted at something.Gu Donglai didn't respond to his words.

In the dark, his blurry face was so thin that there was no one at all.The person was pale and covered with scars and bloodstains due to years of captivity, and his neck was covered with soul lock nails after being abused.

Then, this person who has experienced a long time, but whose personality seems to have never changed, raised his eyes in a well-mannered posture and said slowly without anger,

"These 36 years are a long time for an ordinary person. But for me, humiliation is the word. Only when one person is defeated and completely surrendered is humiliation."

"Most of the disciples of Longquan Mountain are abandoned babies adopted by my master at the foot of the mountain. Since becoming a monk, we must remember the admonition of our master, not to be a demon or to do evil, to save all living beings, and to save all living beings. Being in the mud is never a humiliation for someone like me."

This way of speaking is quite a teacher's demeanor.Gu Donglai thought to himself.But one person and one butterfly are still in a state of confrontation.So, immediately afterwards, His Highness King Ming himself, who wanted to find out what happened to him, asked mercilessly,

"Oh? Don't do evil for evil? But I heard that you have done a lot for the green lion and white elephant."

"Killing that good junior of yours, and destroying the entire Longquan Mountain in turn, is also very beneficial to you. The reuse of the green lion, the lure of the monster, and now you can make a comeback, not very good."

It's a bit too much to expose people's scars.If it is placed on anyone who still has dignity, it will be angry.But even in the face of Gu Donglai, who was disfigured and tortured by the demon, he didn't show the slightest anger, on the contrary, he just said something without moving his tone.

"I never told Qingshi Baixiang about Dinghai's real life experience, let alone the real way to break the barrier of Longquan Mountain."

"Then what's going on with this cave now?"

Gu Donglai seized this gap in his words and continued to question.Just at this time, there was a movement in the tower that made the wall powder tremble and fall down the roof.

"Does Duke Ming want to know?"

"Oh, no, there is no King Ming in front of me at all, only a demon who is practicing in this world, and there are no good-hearted people."

These words can be regarded as a retaliation, his hands were hung on the iron chain, Fang Haiwen's character has been very strong for so many years, he raised his eyes, coughed very palely, and pulled the corners of his mouth.

This kind of person, if you want to say that ordinary people may have to turn against him and not talk about saving people, but Gu Donglai, who is always fond of people, was aroused a little favor, and then, the long-haired Bodhisattva Only then did he change into a human body and this person looked at each other from a height and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Good, good! Fang Hai asked! I didn't expect that! You have a lot of personality."

The long-haired man raised an eyebrow and asked.

"But do you think such a talent can save your own life?"

"Normal. It's just that Fang Haiwen probably understands a truth."

"what?"

As a half-dead person who has been trapped in hell for so many years, this Fang Haiwen has extraordinary wisdom and demeanor, and he and Gu Donglai said to each other without any sense of crisis,

"Look like a smart person in front of a smart person, a big fool in front of a big fool, a monster in front of a monster, and take a stand in front of a Bodhisattva. This word will be handed over to others, because what Fang Haiwen wants is to survive, go out alive, and overcome his own destiny alive."

"Everyone in the world is dead, and I won't be the one who died."

"Because life can't defeat me, heaven can't kill me, and Buddha can't save me. Only I can go out step by step, step on the three thousand Buddha Dharma, avenge me with my own hands, blood my hatred, and I’ve been waiting for this day to come.”

These words are really too personal.

The so-called arrogance, tenderness and toughness may be such a person. Gu Donglai has met many people of all kinds in his life, but it is the first time he feels the uniqueness of this person.

But just at this time, the two yin and yang gas cylinders, the two dharma protectors above the spire that manipulate and change the atmosphere in the world, vibrated on the spot, and the mutation happened again——

In an instant, the elevator on the [-]th floor, the red numbers leading to the underworld on the other side opened and closed violently amidst howling ghosts and wolves, and the huge exhaust fan stuck in the middle corridor violently blew a demonic wind, and the sound of the wind caused even bigger noises. The vibration blew the demon cave embedded in the center of this demonized human building so that it was unsteady on all sides.

Through the windows on both sides of the ghost tower that has grown together with the unit room like flesh and blood.

The clouds of the city outside seemed to be split in two.On one side is the road where normal vehicles are driving, on the other side is illuminated by a red magic light, which is about to gradually spread out.

Regarding this, the two people who were on the top of the demon cave looked down, and after bringing up the golden light to stabilize the situation here, they both showed uneasy expressions.

Because this means that tonight, the white elephant that died once is likely to come back to life.The outer circle of the demon tower, which has been spreading to the outside of the city to eat people and eat buildings, will be revived again.

When Gu Donglai lowered his head again, he noticed that the other party was also paying attention to all this.This made the two of them who were still exploring just now.And since the two met on a narrow road, Fang Haiwen was not always in such a passive state when facing Gu Donglai, because the two people talked again in the next second.

"The water in Longhu Lake has passed for many years, does King Ming still care about the whereabouts of Bodhisattva Garuda?"

Fang Hai asked.

"What do you mean."

Gu Dong went back and forth.

"Kamma retribution is a cycle. Before the last karma is solved, the previous karma will always bring hints to the next one. This is why I am still alive, because I am exactly that karma."

Fang Hai asked and answered.

It was also when the voice fell, the monk who had no strength to stand up coughed first, raised an arm, and moved his fingers after the torture of the lock soul top, and said in a low voice,

① "Namo Guangming Great Compassionate Buddha is above."

"The force is inconceivable, and the compassion is unobstructed. The seven grains spread all over the ten directions, and give universally to the Zhousha world."

As soon as the ②Buddhist Residual Food Curse fell, Fang Haiwen's fingers faintly flickered with a pale white Buddha's light, and his brows were spotless, but more ferocious blood flowers began to bloom on the bloodstains all over his body.

These bloody flowers that gnawed at his body caused him to tremble violently twice in pain.

In this regard, he gritted his teeth and maintained a state of forbearance as much as possible, closed his eyes and continued to read every word, and finally stood up under the profuse sweat, revealing his whole body.

Gu Donglai figured out what was going on with him at first.But when he stood up with difficulty on the other side's bleeding knee, Fang Haiwen, who had been testing each other with Gu Donglai, just showed his embarrassing body.

Also because of this standing up, the reason why he just chanted the mantra was also revealed this time.It turned out that the upper half of his face was actually intact.Not only that, but the pair of warm and peaceful black eyes and the natural mole between the eyebrows are still there.

But those eyes were different from when he was a teenager.

In terms of age, Fang Haiwen is at least six or seven years older than Fang Dinghai, so his face has more vicissitudes and a sense of age, and he has become more precipitated because he has experienced "a lot".But this did not damage his demeanor.

Through those eyes, Fang Haiwen seemed to be the same third senior brother with a tough heart and excellent manners.

That gentle and windy temperament is simply the best interpretation of possessing powerful wisdom, hiding things in the body and waiting for the moment to move.

But he is such an extraordinary person.Then take a look.Gu Donglai saw a very hideous scar from the brow bone to the bottom of his lips and his legs.

The bite marks that would never heal for the rest of his life had completely damaged his original face.On the lower half of the face, only a little wrinkle can express his true emotions.

And the most unbearable thing is his legs.It turned out that due to the influence of some spells, those pair of 'legs' had completely grown together with the purple tumor-like flesh and blood of the demon tower, as if they were inseparable from parasitism.

Whenever Fang Haiwen made a random move, the flesh and blood that grew together with the demon tower would be pulled and torn, and even if outsiders wanted to destroy the tower, they would kill him as a puppet in this demon cave together.

"The bardo."

Gu Dong came to understand something.

"Those two demons turned you into an bardo."

This is the first time Gu Donglai's tone has changed since the two met.But he had already seen what was on this man.

Because the so-called bardo body is the process from the death of the dead, the eighth consciousness out of the body, to reincarnation.Ordinary people will only end up in this kind of fate where they grow up with monsters only after they are imprisoned by others after death, and their souls are refined with demon methods.

In just two days, this demon tower can suddenly become like this.It seems that Fang Hai asked this 'special' reason.

Because using the human soul to refine the bardo body, as long as this person is there, the demon tower can sustain itself.But when Gu Donglai finally looked at his legs squarely, Fang Haiwen raised his eyes and twitched the corners of his mouth when he asked this person who hadn't explained it to him.

"No, I made myself like this."

This is another big reversal.Since Fang Haiwen is still alive, and has been hiding his strength to be able to get away from the monster, there is no need for him to reduce himself to this point.

But for the next sentence, the man in the tattered green clothes exhausted all his strength, raised his eyes and said with all his blood,

"The blue lion and the white elephant are one of the eight parts. They have been enlightened by Manjushri and Samantabhadra, and they are blessed by Buddha's light. There are few ways to kill them completely, but they are not perfect."

"Death is the easiest and most difficult thing in the world. If it was just to get rid of humiliation and make a final decision, then maybe I would have died a long time ago, but Longquan Mountain was victimized back then, and my master and brother couldn't die in vain. It is the only value for a disabled person like me to live in this world."

"And now, the value that keeps me alive has appeared—because there is a magic gate above this demon tower that blends with the city to subdue them."

"What method?"

Gu Donglai slowly squinted his eyes and asked.

"This method, called the 37th Grade, is also one of the magical powers left by the Demon King."

"Legends say that on Lingshan Buddha's birthday, the devil ordered eight animals to devour the flesh and blood of the Buddha, but the only animal did not eat the Buddha, and this animal is one of the natural enemies of this method."

Fang Hai asked and answered.

"I and another person have stayed in their hands for many years, refining the tower with each other's bodies, and forming this confrontation, just to wait until this day, and the appearance of two people who can break this heavy method.

"We will use our bardo body as the magic weapon in the hands of these two people, and use our own blood and flesh to help you completely kill the blue lion and white elephant."

"When your magic weapon once again chops the body of the monster alive, it is our two people who are using their own souls to use their teeth and flesh and blood to help all living beings to bite and revenge these monsters, because only haters can kill haters , and the two of us are the haters who only have hatred in our hearts, and only hatred supports all of this."

This will to sacrifice one's life to save the demons is really bloody and cruel, but it is full of blood in the sea of ​​blood and deep hatred.

If there is such a person missing in this great world of Buddhism.

Then, it is like missing a treasure, a powerful enemy who can compete with it, and friends who open his eyes one after another. Among all living beings, having such a powerful enemy, a friend who has a shallow and deep relationship, is A thing to respect and admire.

And his life.Even if it has nothing to do with the restoration of Shituoling and the order of reincarnation, Gu Donglai will definitely save him based on this sentence, and he will save it to the end.

"Fang Hai asked."

"..."

"If you win the bet, Gu Donglai will not only save you, but also return your dignity."

"..."

"The humiliation you have suffered and the revenge on your dignity will all be repaid tonight! Because the time for revenge and revenge has finally come!"

……

23:15

A golden light, like a shooting star in the night, streaked across the sky.Just like Gu Donglai, at this moment, Fang Dinghai on the other side was also walking quickly through the building alone.

He didn't know where someone was now.

But he and Gu Donglai chose to enter here together.For the two of them tonight, it was already an inevitable trip to kill monsters.

When he came up with the help of the rope that was hooked to the top of the tower by magic, his figure also flashed from the cave dug by a little demon, and the building was filled with demonic energy, which was dispersed by him with a wave of Di Shi.

Then, he bent his knees and jumped up, grabbed a rotating fan wheel above the ceiling with his arms, and jumped down like this.When he stepped on the edge of the floor window and landed, the face of the young monk was hidden under the half hat, holding a staff in one hand and putting the other in his pocket, his eyes with a faint golden light shining from the bottom of his pupils looked very cold.

Here, it is a section of floors in the middle near the top.

Underneath, the roots are intertwined.There was a whirring wind below.The modern floor-to-ceiling buildings and the caves of ancient monsters grow together.

The wall is covered with densely packed small holes.After death, the mortal residents turned into white ghost heads lying on a pile of skeletal bones, chewing something vaguely.

Mingming Building still retains modern products, such as air conditioners, televisions and elevators.But on these things, there are rusty monsters that seem to have been buried deep in the ground for many years.

The distorted black magic energy made it impossible for this residential building standing in the central area of ​​the city to return to normal.

The souls of the dead and devoured inside were also trapped, howling from the wall.

In this scene, it is not an exaggeration to use a weird world that combines reality and gods and demons.

When the young monk jumped down, he saw that all the damaged anti-theft doors were open towards him.

Accompanied by the indistinct sound of chains coming from nowhere in the depths of the demon cave, and the strange wind blowing down the ceiling that resembles human breathing, making it even more unknown what is locked in this place .

"...,..."

What made this heavy and slow breathing sound is unknown.

But Fang Dinghai could feel that this thing was bigger than an ordinary Asura.

What's more, like living in the demon tower, the flesh and blood have grown together with the wall elevator.

This made the young monk keep vigilant, his body hidden in the dark turned sideways, and then he suddenly raised a shoulder and smashed open the iron gate on one side.

But when a row of iron doors was blown up by a quick wave of his arm, he opened them again with a creak.But there is nothing inside.

Then, a huge black shadow with his back turned across the top, Fang Dinghai turned his head, but there was nothing behind him, and when the sound of chain shaking disappeared, the 'breathing' at the end seemed to be still there.

This time, the existence of this extremely dangerous black shadow was already obvious.

Shituoling is where the monsters are.The one hiding in it must also be a demon.

Since it is a demon, it is impossible for Dinghai alone not to have murderous thoughts.In this regard, the monk who maintained a kind of hostility and confrontation with the "devil" in the darkness who was obviously not to be underestimated remained silent.

Now he doesn't have eyes that can see through the demon body at a glance, but through this period of time, he and Gu Donglai have worked together in the human world to feel that this thing is still there, just observing him with a bird's-eye view.

Even if it is good at hiding in the dark.

But the devil is the devil.

The aura it carries is enough for Fang Dinghai to confirm a position while listening to the wind from all directions with his back turned.

"come out."

Fang Dinghai closed his eyes and said coldly.

"I won't say it a second time."

These words are completely blunt.

Seeing this, the demon with the obscure light and shadow cast on his face on the opposite side lowered his head and let out a breath, and fell silent for a while, standing firmly with his paws against the bones of his body, and then said in a hoarse voice,

【"You are truly worthy of being a Buddhist monk. After many years, you have now become such a monk with a heart and ability that is even better than your masters and ancestors."】

In these words, this magic word seems to know Fang Dinghai very well.

His articulation of words does not deliberately imitate the speech of mortals like Asura.It seems that he can speak human language, but because of the throat and other body organs, his articulation is a little fuzzy.

【"However, it's no wonder that he was able to slash demons with his own strength and replace everyone as the new leader of the Longquan Mountain Temple."】

【"But you are also suffering this kind of retribution now."】

【"But do you still remember, who took you back to the temple to raise you, and who took care of and protected you as a relative? You killed your master and brother with a knife like a demon. After so many years, Have you ever been able to sleep at night, and do you still dream of those people who died tragically at your hands back then, Fang Dinghai?"]

These words were also spoken to Fang Dinghai by Nvju last time.

But the banshee only used the prophecy to imply that he remembered the murder, but now the words from the mouth of the demon that blocked his way obviously pierced the memory deep in his heart.

The expression on Fang Dinghai's face remained unchanged.But one hand was already clenched inward with a very chilling arc.Except for a few people who knew the inside story, even the young juniors in the temple didn't know about his murder, but this demon showed a kind of familiarity everywhere, and even deliberately provoked him.

——This is a bit unusual.

"who are you."

The young monk raised his chin and was on the verge of opening his eyes to look at the demon locked deep in the entrance of the black hole.

【"Ah."】

The long-haired monster laughed hoarsely at this, and answered irrelevantly by shaking his body forward a step.

【"I said that I was an unjust soul who died tragically. I once 'died' at the hands of the person who protected me most in my life and believed in me, but I managed to survive from the underworld hell. Do you believe it?"】

"..."

This very 'suggestive' sentence made the ground under Fang Dinghai's feet seem to shake.

Di Shi, as a Buddhist magic weapon that can perceive the devil.

With the confrontation between the frightening demon wind and the Buddha's light around the two, they unknowingly issued a 'jingle bell' vibration.

After a moment of dead silence on both sides, the young monk turned his back to the corridor at the end first, then stepped forward and turned into golden shadows one by one.

When he strode sideways and smashed against the wall on one side, the young monk with his hat collar flying up pushed Ti Shi forward, setting off a huge golden light, and then slashed at the 'huge monster' with a vibrating Buddha bell. .

This time, he directly pierced through the wall in front of the two of them, and the cracked gravel was smashed up one by one.

Seeing this, the demon with long gray hair and half mysterious and stern face hiding in the darkness also flashed past, but he didn't back down in the slightest.

He swung one of his sharp claws and smashed an elevator door behind Fang Dinghai from the center.

At first glance, this man's feet and neck are covered with shackles, and the trapezius and back muscles are covered with scales. They are not hideous, but smooth, strong and full of explosive power.

At the same time, he was still talking to Fang Dinghai, whose resting heartbeat had begun to appear abnormal, at close range, saying a few words that evoked the memories of the two of them.

【"Your thunder and fire curse was taught by me."】

【"That year, when you were a child, you were barefoot outside the gate of the ancient temple with 860 steps. The first sun rose in the morning, and I was the one who opened the gate and saw you." 】

【"It was I who brought you to our common benefactor, and I ran to the meditation room faster than anyone else to find a lot of monk clothes for you."】

thump.

thump.

None of these words are fabricated lies.

On the contrary, Fang Dinghai remembered every scene of these memories clearly.

【"You don't like to talk to others, and you are more boring than a wooden fish at such a young age, we will try to tease you every day, wild fruit, bird, and give you everything in the world that can make my little brother happy."】

【"Let me tell you, you will be my sixth junior brother from now on, just because I didn't have no father or mother before I became a monk. I grew up at the foot of the mountain and once had a ten-year-old brother. Unfortunately, he only lived to be ten years old. I also went up the mountain and became a monk."]

【"Perhaps, this is the arrangement of the Buddha, and it is also a responsibility given to me by God."】

thump.

thump.

There was another forced sound.In the shared memory of the two, the figures of the three seniors, the two older ones and the younger one running carefree by the Maolin stream gradually became clearer and clearer.

Dinghai.

Come here quickly.

Someone is calling him.

But the faces of the two people standing on the other side of Longhu Lake and waving happily to him were so vague and far away.

This caused Fang Dinghai to fall out and hit his head on the wall, holding his palm heavily, forgetting to continue fighting the demon.

【"Why don't you move? It's already come to this point. You still don't want to show me your true skills...Fa Monk."】

【"I once 'died' by your hands."】

【"Now, let me see how much you have improved over the years!"】

It was this familiar tone that was so shockingly low-pitched.Both of them were surrounded by a hurricane and set off a powerful storm.

To this, Fang Dinghai, who didn't answer a word, turned sideways, stepped on one side of the wall and fell down, facing him head-on.

But when he sensed that this demon was a strange existence that was similar to Asura but stronger than Asura himself, he withdrew his hand.

This is a close pause.If he continued to use the weapon, he would not be able to completely tear off the true face of this 'demon', so he threw Ti Shi out first, and then plunged into the wall next to it.

Then, he took off his half hat and fought with his opponent with his bare hands in a life-and-death struggle with both hands.

This fight was completely separated from the hands of the Dharma Protector, and he and this 'Asura' fought in the air, only silver lights intersected.

Fang Dinghai kicked the opponent's leg.This 'Asura' punched straight to the side of his shoulder.

The Buddha light bursting through the entire corridor brought a golden glow like a meteor shower, and as their figures fought, they smashed through the iron gates and walls next to them,

For a while, it seemed difficult to tell the winners and losers in this battle between good and evil.

Until, the black shadow that was supposed to be an 'Asura' monster waved his arm, and used a standard Buddhist disciple's method of attracting thunder to evoke a golden light, thunder and fire curse.

Seeing this, Fang Dinghai also used exactly the same posture to withstand the impact.Seeing this, the demon put his palms together again, and rushed towards Fang Dinghai like a flood and waves, and at the same time raised his welcoming hands and rushed out——

Two similar but different thunder and fire curses collided together like this.However, they all understood that they didn't want to kill the person opposite at all.

The man's long gray and white intertwined hair was washed away, revealing a look in his eyes, the face of an adult man with an all-too-familiar expression.Fang Dinghai stepped back, propped his palms on the ground, half-kneeled on the ground and raised his eyes to look at the other party with an indescribable expression.

The man under the half-asura raised his locked arms to meet the blow.

Then, he really raised that face, and with the eyes behind the scales, he gave him a long-awaited greeting, which seemed to be a greeting after a lifetime for the two of them.

"Dinghai."

"After the water of Longhu Lake, I haven't seen you for a long time."

It was this sentence that broke the silence, killing and stalemate between the two just now.

The two brothers and sisters gave each other a tacit and powerful high-five like relatives.

Then, kneeling and standing, one person and one demon stretched out their hands and grabbed each other in this demon cave.

Fang Dinghai held Di Shi and stood up, but for a heartless person like him, for a while, he couldn't describe the huge impact he had upon seeing Zhang Tianzong still alive.

"Why don't you come back?"

Fang Dinghai opened his mouth with a hint of strangeness in his eyes, and his hand was also cold but gripping the palm of his elder brother that had been reduced to a demon with astonishing strength.

"Why did you refuse to come back with him?"

No one can answer this question, even this person.

So he could only grab him again and lower his head. Immediately afterwards, the person who 'resurrected from the dead' who appeared in front of Fang Dinghai told him a word.

——In a word, he is waiting here, even if he turns into a demon, he must tell Fang Dinghai himself.

"Because I also have my responsibilities. In addition to being your senior brother, I am also a Buddhist disciple of Longquan Mountain. I also have the responsibility to protect this world."

"Asura may have killed my body, but he didn't kill Zhang Tianzong's soul."

"Now that responsibility is your turn."

"We've been waiting for you."

"Dinghai, it's time for you... to face the real karma in yourself."

At the same time, on the side of this ghost building that is about to undergo an earth-shaking change, like Fang Haiwen, it seems to be waiting here, and it is because of the person who said this sentence that he said in unison

——"Fang Dinghai."

"For 36 years, the person we've been waiting here to wait for is...you."

"At this moment, forget who you are, forget that you are a monk, and just pick up the real butcher knife in your hand for yourself. Together, we will use our bardo body to become the magic weapon in the hands of these two people, and use our own Blood and bone together completely kill the blue lion and white elephant."

"The three of you, me, and him will not owe each other any more."

"Because, tonight, the time has finally come for this group of demons to pay their debts of blood and avenge their shame!"

The author has something to say: 1/6
