I live on the 18th floor of Nether Community

The next day, a cry that resounded through the sky broke the tranquility of Mount Sumeru.

Di Ting pushed open the door sleepily, and saw a big bird of five colors coming from the east with the rays of the sun, hovering over the bodhi tree.

Di Ting narrowed his eyes slightly: "Luan?...Are you here to deliver a letter to Ksitigarbha?"

The luan bird called again, and with a flap of its wings, a bronze mirror was shaken off by it.Hearing this, Di hurriedly stretched out his hand to catch it, only to see that as soon as the bronze mirror touched him, it immediately released a glowing light.Following the light projected in the mirror, what caught Di Ting's eyes was the smiling face of Ksitigarbha.

"Listen Xiaodi, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you still used to life on the mountain?"

Di heard the words and couldn't help grinning: "I think you have forgotten me."

"How is it possible, you are so cute."

"Don't be poor." Di Ting picked out his ears, "Tell me, what instructions?"

"Ha, it's like this. Didn't I leave you here to wait for someone before? I see that the man has arrived now, so I want you to go down the mountain with him and take a trip to the human world." Ksitigarbha said halfway through, watching When he heard the figure walking out behind him, his voice immediately raised an octave, and he said enthusiastically like an uncle next door, "Hey, this is Lianhua, right? How did you grow so big in the blink of an eye?"

Lianhua nodded slightly: "Hello Ksitigarbha." "Shan, and. 氵, タ"

"Hey, after all, it was raised by Subhuti, that is, to be polite. Unlike my Xiaodi Ting, he didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"

"Cough!" Di Ting felt his temples throbbing, and hurriedly interrupted Ksitigarbha's 'chattering', "What do you want us to do in the world?"

When Ting Di listened to such a question, Ksitigarbha's expression instantly became serious, and his tone of speech became calm and solemn again from the high octave just now.

"Nowadays the world is constantly fighting, and the common people are displaced because of this, suffering unspeakably. The area around Buzhou Mountain is plagued by plagues and corpses are everywhere. May you and Lianhua come and go in and out of the world this time to sweep away the wars, plagues, killings, hatred, and death. The spirit of resentment, lead the people out of the sea of ​​suffering, and save the common people, Amitabha——" Dizang finished speaking, looked at Lianhua with a smile on the side, and said, "I think Bodhi must have told you this, right?"

Lianhua smiled faintly: "Exactly."

"Very good, very good!" Ksitigarbha nodded frequently, "Then why don't you delay any longer? Take the time to pack up and go down the mountain before noon!"

Immediately after he finished speaking, he was about to drill into the mirror, but was stopped by Di Ting in time.

Di Ting: "After this is done, will I be able to go back to the underworld?"

Ksitigarbha King chuckled: "Of course, you still want to go to heaven if you don't go back to the underworld?"

"You don't have to." Di Ting snorted softly, "There are too many rules in the sky, I can't get used to them."

"Oh? Aren't you good at building relationships?" Ksitigarbha asked with great interest.

"Being good at is being good at, liking is liking, being good at doesn't mean liking." Di Ting lazily said with eyes half drooping, "Okay, since it's your order, I will definitely take it seriously with Lianhua. Come back soon! Let's go!"

"Then I'm relieved." Ksitigarbhahan said to Lianhua with a smile, "My little Truth Listener, please leave it to Venerable Lianhua."

Lianhua raised her lower lip and said politely, "Go slowly."

Ksitigarbha nodded with a smile, and the bronze mirror emitted a burst of light again, flying from Di Ting's hand to the ostrich's wings.The luan bird made a long cry, shook its wings, and flew towards the east with a gust of wind...

The flowers of the bodhi tree were blown to the ground by the wind, Di Ting looked at the jars of wine he hadn't bothered to drink, shook his head and said with emotion: "Nowadays these good things can only be given cheaply to the spirit monkeys on Mount Sumeru... ...hey, I should have drank them all in the morning."

"Why don't you give it to the Five Immortals of Jialan when you pass by Mount Jialan?" Lianhua said softly.

Diting shook his head, turned around and gave Lianhua a smirk: "Then it's better to give it to the monkeys, they are much cuter than those few."

"Or just dig a hole under the tree and bury the remaining jars of wine, so that you can take it out and drink it when you come back in the future." Lianhua said, "The taste will be more intense and mellow."

"What you said makes sense!" Di Ting's eyes lit up, he rolled up his sleeves and went to carry a hoe in the house, then turned his head and said casually to Lianhua, "Brother Xiaohua, you have helped me with your hard work."

"it is good."

Lianhua looked at Di Ting's figure returning to the house, and a touch of indelible tenderness gradually opened up in her eyes.

I don't know what to listen to, but as early as Lianhua was still a lotus flower, she always stared at him with such eyes.I remember that day and month when I went to Bodhi, Di Ting climbed up the Bodhi tree, wearing a misty gown, leaning on the trunk and getting drunk.

While humming a little tune, he poured the remaining wine from the jug into the pool, and accidentally almost fell from the tree.Then just a gust of wind blew up, rolled up his waist and gently put him on the ground.

Di Ting felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a cloud, turned over and fell into a deeper sleep.

That wind is what Lianhua did...

"Buried!"

The voice of listening to truth interrupted Lianhua's thoughts.He raised his hand to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead, looked up at the rising sun, turned his head to Lianhua and said, "I checked, I don't have anything to bring except the flagon. What about you?"

"I do not have either."

"Okay, then we are going to go down the mountain?"

"Ah."

Before leaving Mount Sumeru, Lianhua looked back at the small courtyard and Bodhi tree again.

This is the world that belongs to him and Di Ting alone, and he will definitely bring him back with him in the future...

……

Although Di Ting knew the current situation in the world, it was only when he stepped into this scorched earth that he realized that what he had heard was completely different from what he had seen with his own eyes.The shock brought by the latter is far from being comparable to the former.

There was a strong smell of blood and rancidity all around, and piles of bones could be seen everywhere along the way.Wild dogs, with the same scarlet, hungry eyes of man, climbed over the mutilated corpses, scrambling for the rotting bits.Then, only one of man and dog can continue to live...

Di Ting pressed down the bamboo hat on his head again, covering his eyes that had become a little fragile at this time, and said in a low voice: "It is said that all the most terrifying things in the world are in hell, but I don't know how compared to the present world , Hell is like heaven."

"We should be able to arrive at Mount Buzhou before sunset." Lianhua squinted at the blood-red sun in the sky, and said in a deep voice, "What are we going to do next?"

Di Ting turned his gaze to a festered woman beside the road, and saw that her cheekbones were deeply sunken, her eyes protruded outwards, her eyeballs were dim, and her eyesight had become dizzy.If she wasn't still patting the baby in her arms mechanically, Di Ting wouldn't even know if she was a human or a ghost, dead or alive.

The little baby's face was also black and blue, and his desire to survive urged him to suck the woman's shriveled nipple vigorously, but he still couldn't get milk, and was so anxious that he wanted to cry, but because he was really weak, he could only cry A faint whimper.

Di Ting squatted down, pulled off the lid of his wine pot, handed it to the woman, and whispered: "Take a sip."

At first, the woman didn't seem to understand what Di Ting said, and she still stared blankly ahead.Until he smelled the smell in the jug, like a very hungry hyena, he came to Di Ting and sniffed vigorously, his face gradually showing greedy eyes.

"Give it to me!" The woman screamed, snatched the flagon from Diting, and drank without restraint.

Di was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly snatched the jug back from the woman's hand.

You must know that this bodhi wine is not a supernatural being, it is okay for immortals to drink it, if ordinary people drink it, just one sip can strengthen their health, but if they drink too much, they will feel excited and hot all over, and will consume their original physical strength instead.

Di Ting shook the jug, but luckily the woman didn't drink much.

"Give me—! Give me another sip—!"

The woman rushed up to Di Ting hysterically, and Di Ting hurriedly grabbed the woman's arm with all her strength, and pushed her sleeve up while she was struggling, and her eyes sank immediately.

Following the gaze of Di Ting, the woman's skin was densely covered with spiral-shaped pimples, which were wriggling upwards along with the blood vessels.

If you look closely, it's not a lump at all, but a living snail growing out of its body!

The woman seemed to be used to these spiral snails on her body. After realizing that she couldn't beat the person in front of her, she returned to the state of being absent-minded and dissociated again. Into his mouth, he chewed expressionlessly.

Then at the same time, a new snail shell grew again in the original position of her neck.

"I'm going to start by getting rid of the plague first." Di Ting couldn't bear to look away and looked away, and said to Lianhua, "This disease is really strange, and it's the first time I've seen it. Let's go as soon as possible. Zhou Shan, I have to find a few more cases to study carefully before I can adopt a treatment plan..."

After the two finished talking, they continued on their way.Along the way, I saw many people infected with the disease one after another.Worst of all, the snail shells have covered the whole face, and even the facial features can no longer be distinguished, only countless spirals are slowly rotating and wriggling...

However, even though it was so creepy, there were still many extremely hungry people who came to the side of the infected person, waiting for him to die at any time so as to share his flesh and blood.

"Have you noticed..." Lianhua suddenly said, "Since we got here, this river has been following us."

"Yeah." Diting nodded lightly, "Many plagues are closely related to water sources. From this river to Buzhou Mountain, maybe we can find some new discoveries when we reach the source."

The blood-red sun gradually began to sink.

After listening to the strange laughter of the crow, after passing through a burning dry forest, Diting and Lianhua finally came to the foot of Buzhou Mountain...

"Oh, Buzhou Xianshan..." Di Ting squinted his eyes and looked at the Shenshan, which was also shrouded in the breath of death, and said coldly, "That's not how it is described in the legend."

"Legends are always better."
