Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 719
[Chapter 696 Shouyuan Crisis!]
“Ga… ga…”
The crow on the tree seemed to see that these were living people, suddenly lost interest, and flew away cursing.
Chen Luo looked at Yinggou and asked, “Yinggou, how do you feel?”
If anyone of them could have a special situation, it could only be Yinggou.
Yinggou held her breath, her cheeks puffed up, and she tried her best to check her situation. After a while, Yinggou raised her head, with a flustered expression on her face: “Uh… uh, there’s only one day left!”
After speaking, Yinggou’s face instantly collapsed.
“Ah…you’re going to die of old age?”
“Ah…you owe me four dolls…”
Yinggou raised her fingers, “Wang Baiwen still owes me three meals, King Xuanjing still owes me six meals of wine, Shanhai Wang said that he wanted to take his forehead to the flower building… no, there are still many things to do… I don’t want to die!”
Yinggou said, punching the ground hard, and the earth trembled suddenly, creating a huge hole Firefly ticked it out.
Chen Luo, his party and Han Qinhu all floated into the air in time and did not fall into the big pit.
Forget it, the child is in a bad mood, let’s vent, don’t worry about her.
At this moment, the whole party frowned and said in thought: “Buddha, the poor monk seems to know something.”
“Well, master, please tell me!” Chen Luo was overjoyed and asked hastily.
“I don’t dare to be called a master. If the poor monk guessed correctly, the rules of this small world should be related to Shouyuan!”
Chen Luo glanced at Xing Xing and sighed: “Master Xing Xing, I have something to tell you. ”
“Buddha, please tell me!”
“There is no need to think about such obvious things.”
“No.” The Bodhisattva was not angry, but said seriously, “There are many reasons for the sudden reduction of lifespan, and there are many reasons. It doesn’t have to be about the rules!”
“However, the appearance of the Buddha and the two kings has not changed. Only the poor monk is aging, which is caused by the poor monk’s practice to the five declines. He is affected by the rules of heaven in this small world, and the Tao is manifested outside.”
“Therefore, Only poor monks can judge that the rules of this small world should be related to longevity.”
Chen Luo clasped his hands together and saluted: “Teach me!”
At this moment, Han Qinhu looked around and said, “My lord, this little one Since there are crows and old trees in the world, there must be other creatures. If you find them, you may be able to learn more about the situation.”
“Although this place is a fragment of the ancient heavenly way, it is after all the place where Jianmu took root, and it was the center of the cycle of life back then. , there is no reason why intelligent creatures won’t evolve through evolution.”
“King Yama is right.” The party nodded, “The most urgent thing is to collect more information.”
At this moment, Chen Luo felt that the corner of his clothes was being pulled After a moment, he lowered his head and saw Yinggou looking at him pitifully.
Yinggou: (_)
Chen Luo touched Yinggou’s head, and comforted: “It’s okay, isn’t there another day?”
“We can solve this problem.”
Unexpectedly, Yinggou shook her head and said in a crying voice : “I don’t have a day left!”
“There are only ten hours left!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, first checked themselves and found that there was nothing wrong, and then looked at Yinggou.
“What happened?”
Yinggou pointed to the big hole on the ground, and said, “After the punching, there will be less!”
After Yinggou finished speaking, a group of Bodhisattvas raised their hands without saying a word, and a golden lotus rose from the ground. He flew out from his finger, and then the golden lotus turned into a golden light, shooting towards the distant mountain range, and saw the place where the distant mountain range was concentrated by the golden light explode instantly.
“The poor monk’s lifespan is also reduced!” Yixing sensed a little, and said, “Exercising supernatural powers seems to deduct lifespan!”
Chen Luo frowned, he smelled a strong smell of dog planning.
“There must be a solution.” A group of Bodhisattvas thought for a while, and said, “Otherwise, if there is only one day’s lifespan, this small world should be full of lifelessness, and it is impossible to produce a town boundary stone.”
Chen Luo nodded, and Chen Xuan entered early in the morning After coming here, if there is only one day’s lifespan, wouldn’t Chen Xuan be asking for death when she came in?
Before Chen Xuan was rescued by the mysterious organization Zixiao Palace, the next time she appeared was to enter the secret place of Haoli Mountain, Chen Luo wouldn’t believe it if she had no connection. After all, Chen Xuan is a human being, and she doesn’t know more about Netherworld than other people. If there is no one to guide her, maybe even Haoli Mountain doesn’t know what it is.
If this is the case, then Chen Xuan must have a purpose in entering Haoli Mountain, so there must be a way to solve the problem of one day’s lifespan.
Because of Zixiao Palace! ”Collect information first.” Chen Luo said, “Find out the rules and secrets of this small world as soon as possible, and solve the problem of
Shouyuan.”
Unable to release the Unjust Corpse Guard due to a lot of resistance.
At this time, Han Qinhu pointed in one direction and said: “There is a source of water over there. If you follow the source of water, you should be able to find something.”
Chen Luo nodded. Time is precious now, and it is not the time to hesitate. The man immediately ran towards the water source.
Well, yes, because it takes life energy to perform supernatural powers, it is impossible to fly, and you can only run with your physical strength.
…
Although he couldn’t fly, both Chen Luo and Yixing Bodhisattva had reached the peak level of physical cultivation, and Yinggou had already seen that he was a person with a strong physical body. In comparison, Han Qinhu was a little bit worse. But even so, two or three hours passed, and they traveled nearly a thousand miles along the direction of the water source.
“Xiao Luozi, there is smoke from cooking ahead!” Yinggou pointed to the front and shouted loudly.
Following Yinggou’s guidance, a golden light flashed in Chen Luo’s eyes, and he used the Golden Crow God’s eyes to discover that there was indeed a thin layer of smoke column in the air about two hundred miles away. Chen Luo patted Yinggou’s head in praise, said “quick”, and quickened his pace!
After running for another half an hour, Chen Luo and his party saw a village after passing through a piece of farmland. The smoke was coming out of the village.
“It’s a tribe of living beings!” A group of Bodhisattvas put their hands together, “Sure enough, there is no unparalleled road!”
“Something is wrong.” Chen Luo shook his head lightly, “This village is too quiet!” As the
smoke rose, it should be an adult Rest, when the children were making a fuss, but with Chen Luo’s hearing, he couldn’t hear a single sound in the village, so he couldn’t help but raise his vigilance.
When they walked into the village, they all froze in place.
On the road into the village, there were skeletons lying one after another.
It’s not a corpse, it’s a skeleton!
Han Qinhu and a group of bodhisattvas looked at each other, and hurriedly dispersed to find survivors in the village, while Chen Luo squatted down to examine the bones carefully.
Before helping Song Ci to become a saint in the human world, I have also experienced Song Ci’s truth, and I have mastered a little bone examination technique.
The corpse lying on the ground is similar to the human race.
It’s not that these bones are the human race under the sky. The mysterious great Confucian who created the heart of martial arts said that the human body is the form of life that most conforms to the principles of heaven. For example, why do the monster races transform into human forms after cultivating in form? That is because the human form is the closest to nature. For the monster race, it is easier to absorb the moonlight and sun essence, and consumes less.
Therefore, it is not a coincidence that the ancient heavenly way evolved creatures and gave birth to human-like shapes, and there is a mystery of creation in it. But it can be said with certainty that these “people” are not of the same race as Chen Luo’s human race.
“The bones are missing!” Chen Luo made a little inspection and found the abnormalities of these bones and the human race, but soon Chen Luo frowned again.
“What’s the matter?” Seeing Chen Luo’s serious expression, Yinggou quickly put down the two femurs she was playing with and asked.
“These bones have long been dead!” Chen Luo said, “This one has been dead for at least twenty years.”
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the child’s bones next to him: “This one, at least dead Five years!”
“Ah? They’re all dead anyway, what’s the problem?” Yinggou asked puzzled.
“If a person has been dead for so long, then who planted the farmland we just walked through?” Chen Luo said, “And…”
Chen Luo quickly checked a few more bones, and said: “The older the bones, The longer you die, the time you die is almost the same as the age before you.”
“Ah? You mean, a person who is sixty years old has been dead for sixty years, and a person who is six years old has been dead for six years?” Yinggou thought After a while, asked.
“That’s right!” Chen Luo nodded, and added, “However, the bones here are at most thirty years old!
” I checked all the houses, but I found no survivors!”
“But it’s a bit weird!”
“What’s weird?” Chen Luo asked.
Han Qinhu sorted out his thoughts and said: “Most of the houses are not dusty, as if someone cleaned them from time to time. Some houses also have skeletons, and they look like they were killed when they tried to escape!
” After careful inspection of several kitchens, the water in the water tank is clear and not rotten, and the firewood looks like it has just been cut.”
“It’s like…”
Chen Luo said, “It’s as if they just died!”
Han Qinhu Nodding quickly: “That’s right, that’s right!”
“But these bones have obviously been dead for some years!”
“Amitabha!” At this time, a group of Bodhisattvas also checked around and came back.
“Buddha, the discovery of the poor monk is similar to that of King Yama. But the poor monk also discovered this.” Saying that, the Bodhisattva Yixing handed Chen Luo a book.
Chen Luo took the book and flipped through it for a while. There were some weird symbols on it, which I couldn’t understand at all, but there were a few pages of pictures at the back of the book.
On the first page, there is a picture of a pair of villains kneeling respectfully in front of a tree.
On the second page, a fruit on the tree is cracked, and a little doll pops out of it.
On the third page, there is a figure with a blurred face. There are many people kneeling in front of him. The figure with a blurred face is pointing to the sky, as if a spring of water has been drawn down from the sky by him.
“Give birth to a baby on a tree, and then there are gods and Buddhas in this world?” Chen Luo frowned slightly. With just these few pages of paper, there are too many directions to guess.
Chen Luo put the book into the storage order, sighed and said: “It seems that there is no solution to Shouyuan here. Let’s hurry up and find another village!”
This is a plain area. However, the gathering point of living beings will not exist alone. Since a village has been found here, the second village should not be far away.
Everyone nodded, left the village, and continued to explore.
…
This time I only walked about a hundred miles, and sure enough, I found another village, which was larger than the original one. But to the disappointment of Chen Luo and others, the situation of this village is similar to that of the last village, and it is also full of corpses!
“I’m going to die…” Yinggou wailed and tugged at the corner of Chen Luo’s clothes, “Xiao Luozi, why don’t you take out all the flat peaches and let me die without regret.”
“Don’t make trouble, there is still time! “Chen Luo patted Yinggou’s head, looked at Han Qinhu and Yixing Bodhisattva who came back from the search, “How is it, what have you gained?”
Han Qinhu and Yixing Bodhisattva shook their heads, but Yixing Bodhisattva hesitated After a while, he said: “Buddha, poor monk, let’s use the supernatural power ‘Buddha Light’ to check again.”
“Maybe we can find something.”
Hearing this, Chen Luo sighed and nodded, “Thank you, master.”
Before they discovered that using magical powers would consume life energy, so the two villages were only searched with the naked eye and the power of the soul, and did not use the magical powers of reconnaissance.
The Confucian school has a supernatural power called “Comprehensive Wisdom”, but Han Qinhu has not mastered it, while the Buddhist school’s “Buddha’s Light” is a great supernatural power that covers multiple functions such as investigation, attack, and defense. That’s why Chen Luo didn’t ask Bodhisattva Yixing to perform it.
But in this case, it’s just a gamble.
A group of Bodhisattvas smiled and didn’t say any more. Instead, they randomly found a quick open space, sat cross-legged, put their hands together, and chanted scriptures.
Soon, a halo of Buddha’s light was lit up behind the group, and he slowly lifted into the sky, as if his whole body had turned into a sun, releasing immeasurable light.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of Zen singing sounded, and the light expanded rapidly, directly covering the entire village. And with the use of supernatural powers, the face and skin of Bodhisattva Yixing became more and more aging.
Suddenly, a chime sounded, all the light dissipated, and a group of bodhisattvas fell from the sky. With sharp eyes, Chen Luo took a few steps forward and caught the falling party.
“Master!” Chen Luo shouted nervously. At this time, a group of bodhisattvas who were not old enough to speak slowly opened their eyes, and said weakly, “It’s okay, there are still two hours! The poor monk is lucky.”
“There is a stone in the southeast .” Grinding, stone grinding three feet below the ground, there is life!”
Hearing this, Chen Luo quickly looked at Han Qinhu, Han Qinhu nodded, and immediately ran towards the place pointed by a group of Bodhisattvas.
…
When Chen Luo came to that place with a group of Bodhisattvas on his back, the stone mill had already been pushed aside by Han Qinhu, who was shoveling the ground with a shield at this time.
It wasn’t that Han Qinhu was reluctant to use his supernatural powers, but he was worried that the vitality below three feet would not be able to withstand the attack. If he accidentally wiped out the vitality that a group of Bodhisattvas spent a lot of money on, it would be a great crime.
Seeing the appearance of a group of Bodhisattvas, Yinggou obediently ran over to help, but compared to Han Qinhu, Yinggou’s method was more direct – digging with hands!
Soon, Han Qinhu and Yinggou dug a big hole, and then heard a “dang”, as if they had dug something. Han Qinhu shook off the shield that was digging the ground, grabbed the thing with both hands and lifted it up violently.
“Boom!”
A cuboid jade “coffin” appeared in front of Chen Luo. On the “jade coffin”, strange runes were depicted.
“This rune looks familiar…” Chen Luo froze for a moment, then quickly looked at Yixing Bodhisattva, and Yixing Bodhisattva nodded.
“Let me do it!” At this moment, Yinggou jumped out of the pit, kicked directly towards the “coffin”, and who knew that the coffin shone with a flash of light, so it moved for no reason and escaped. Firefly’s flying kick.
Chen Luo had sharp eyes, and noticed that when the “coffin” was moving, the runes on the surface of the coffin flickered with a faint light, and a force was born, and it was this force that carried the “coffin” to move.
But that’s all. After the move this time, the rune quickly dimmed and gradually began to fade.
On the other side, Yinggou stared, as if insulted.
The stinky stone, the forehead is going to die, don’t let the forehead kick it! Excessive!
As she said that, Yinggou gathered all her strength and was about to kick up again, but was suddenly stopped by Chen Luo.
“Hinghook, wait!”
At the same time, the “coffin” also shook, and after a while, the “coffin lid” on it flew up, and a figure jumped out of it. As soon as the figure came out, it immediately lay on the ground, and then kept raising and lowering its feet, and the toes hit the ground heavily, like a drowning fish.
Sitting like this, the figure was still yelling something.
Chen Luo took it carefully, and the figure was also human-shaped, but when he looked up occasionally, he could find a third eye on his forehead.
Three-eyed people?
“Xiao Luozi, what is he talking about?” Yinggou walked to Chen Luo’s side and asked in a low voice.
“It seems to be the language of this world!” Chen Luo replied.
At this time, Han Qinhu also jumped out of the pit. Seeing this scene, he said via voice transmission: “My lord, I have seen some ghost creatures before. This kind of appearance seems to be a kind of courtesy.”
“Etiquette? “Chen Luo frowned, looking at the figure who was still bouncing around, a burst of divine soul power was sent out, directly rushing into the other party’s divine soul sea.
“Get up!”
The figure froze and quickly got up.
Although the language is different, the meaning conveyed by the soul is also very clear. But this is the only way to so arrogantly drive the power of the soul into the opponent’s sea of souls for the weak.
If you are facing an opponent who is almost the same, they will not easily let your soul power enter his soul sea, it is almost like stealing the door.
Generally speaking, the message is sent out with the power of the soul, and the other party takes the initiative to use the power of the soul to accept and interpret it. Everything is done outside the body. This is the correct way to open the communication between the soul and the soul.
But in the current situation, let’s be a little more arrogant.
“I ask, you answer.”
“You don’t have to say it, just think of the answer in your heart!”
Chen Luo quickly played two more soul transmissions.
The person in the coffin felt a pain in his head and wanted to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Chen Luo.
“Who are you and what happened here?” Chen Luo asked.
In fact, what Chen Luo wanted to ask most was how to solve the problem of longevity. After all, judging from the condition of the “coffin”, it should be the work of a practitioner.
However, this question must be guided to achieve the best results, otherwise it will expose one’s hole cards.
Therefore, Chen Luo first asked the most normal question.
But when he heard Chen Luo’s question, a look of surprise flashed across the face of the person in the coffin. Just as he was about to speak, he remembered Chen Luo’s order and quickly lowered his head, thinking of an answer.
“Your honor, my name is Ximo, and I am the tribute sacrifice of the Xilili tribe.”
“I came to this village to collect tribute.”
Speaking of this, Simo didn’t dare to raise his head, but he opened the third eye on his forehead and looked at it. Seeing Chen Luo and the others, he quickly closed it again, and then “answered”:
“It was the gang of damned thieves who robbed this village and slaughtered everyone!
” The massacre left a life!”
“My lord, if you are willing to send me back to the Xilili tribe, I will definitely thank you!”
Chen Luo automatically filtered out the other party’s words of thanks, but glared at Xi Mo , There was oppression in the soul transmission: “How dare you lie to me!”
“If you don’t tell the truth, I will kill you now!”
Naximo’s face changed drastically, and he quickly lay down on the ground, thinking “My lord, why did you say that!” “Everything I said
is true, I didn’t lie to you!” “My lord
, please believe me! I really didn’t lie to you!”
Chen Luo frowned slightly, pointing to the next sentence The corpse, voice transmission said: “This corpse has been dead for at least fifteen years.”
“You said they were killed by some kind of thief. Have you been hiding here for fifteen years?”
“There are still many dead at the entrance of the village .” How do you explain the corpses that have been buried for three or four years, six or seven years, or even more than twenty years!”
Naximo was taken aback, raised his head to look directly at Chen Luo for the first time, and replied in his heart: “My lord, are you joking?” Is it?”
“Isn’t it like this when people die?”
“How many years you live is how many years you die!”
Chen Luo frowned slightly, he didn’t understand this sentence!
But before Chen Luo continued to post, Xi Mo boldly looked at the people around Chen Luo, and finally his eyes fell on Xing Xing, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he thought of something.
“I understand, you came here for the ‘Longevity Tree’ in the hands of the life thieves, right?”
“I know the next target of those life thieves, I can help you lead the way!”
“However, my lord, there are a lot of life thieves, Among them are the strong ones at the level of lifting the tripod, should you think about it again?”
Chen Luo’s heart moved when he heard Xi Mo’s answer.
Longevity tree?
The name sounds auspicious!
As for the powerhouse at the level of lifting the tripod, to be honest, Chen Luo didn’t care too much.
What kind of a strong man is he who is mixed up among bandits!
“You know the longevity tree? Could it be that you made it up to deceive me?” Chen Luo sneered, and asked via voice transmission, “I’ll listen to you tell me about the longevity tree. If everything is correct, I will spare your life !”
Seamo’s face became even weirder, can such a common-sense question be able to tell the truth from the fake?
But since the nobleman asked the question, he could only answer honestly in his heart: “Return to the nobleman, this longevity tree is a kind of evil tree.”
“Watering with blood can produce longevity fruit! The villagers in this village are all He was killed by the thieves, and his blood was used to water their longevity tree.”
“However, the longevity should be bestowed by the gods, and God’s gift is the legitimate longevity. This longevity tree secretly steals the longevity, and heaven will not allow it!”
After finishing speaking, in case Chen Luo still didn’t believe it, Xi Mo added: “I have seen with my own eyes the longevity trees of those life thieves. They are only of the lowest quality. Eating a Shouyuan fruit can increase your lifespan by ten days.”
Chen Luo was fascinated Well, such things as gods bestowing Shouyuan must have something to do with the rules of this world, but I don’t care about that right now. Didn’t you hear the last sentence—
eat one, increase your lifespan by ten days!
This is what they are most in need of right now.
Chen Luo stood up excitedly: “You said you saw the longevity tree of those life thieves? They carried the longevity tree with them? Has it grown yet?”
Xi Mo nodded: “The life thief has the most common tree. The longevity tree needs the freshest blood. So they carry it with them.”
“When I saw it, more than a dozen fruits had grown on it. But they are still looking for blood to irrigate, and they should have grown some more. !”
Chen Luo’s eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at the old group of Bodhisattvas, and said, “Master, hold on, we are saved!”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Seamo again, and said through voice transmission: “Those life thieves are here! Where?”
“I’ll give you a… no, half an hour!”
“If you find them, you live!”
“If you can’t find them, you die!”
