I, the only extraordinary in this world

Chapter 91 The Tragic Truth

This is probably a scene that can make Doraemon die suddenly on the spot.

No one can remain calm after seeing such a scene, even if it is Li Heng, even if his spiritual power has been strengthened to the extreme of human beings.

But within that tenth of a second, a chill still made his goosebumps crawl across his skin in an instant, and then suppressed it with enough concentration.

In an instant, Li Heng's muscles tensed up crazily, and the explosive power was hidden in his limbs, especially his legs. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would... run away!
nonsense!Who the hell wants to confront a bunch of thousands of rats who don't know the number? !
He would rather fight the Tyrannosaurus rex than get entangled with this group of things.

And if it is said that Ale Jones fled here in a panic after witnessing this scene, it would make sense.

Normal people who don't panic when they see it will almost have a heart attack with their psychological quality.

But after accumulating power for a few seconds, Li Heng found that although the frenzied and noisy creaking sound was coming like a storm, the dense red dots were not close to him.

It seemed that something restricted their actions, and the imaginary flood of rats did not happen immediately.

But these things will not be good, as the old man said in the story.

Li Heng still couldn't figure out why there was such a huge rat's nest deep in the Qinling Mountains, but since it appeared here, it was probably related to the secret of the White Lotus Sect.

He continued to walk along the steps, ignoring the mountain of rats and the sea of ​​rats on the side, but he kept his vigilance and distance on purpose.

Going up the steps, Li Heng came to a high platform, where the ancient religious flags were still planted on all sides, and there was also the layout of the Eight Directions, the Eight Precepts and the Eight Zen Mirrors, all of which were deliberately made by the White Lotus Sect.

The same canine-toothed "knife mountain" spread out all the way like sharp teeth, forming a half-moon-shaped outline along the dark red rock wall, reflecting the blood-colored luster.

This kind of arrangement shows that this place is an altar, a place full of death and blood, and it is completely different from the so-called breeding of vitality before.

It seems that it was here that the White Lotus Sect took off the mask it had been covering up all along, revealing the hideous truth here.

Then on a large round stone not far away, Li Heng found that the stone surface was very round because it had been polished, and there were countless densely packed small characters engraved on it, and the fonts were different, obviously not from one person, but Inscribed by many people.

On the right side of the boulder is a large iron lump in the shape of a tombstone, with bloody palm prints on it!
And the iron lump is engraved with four sentences of criticism with rough but sharp strokes——

[Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal, who dies for a lifetime, if it is for the common people, it will be blood-stained like this]

"This turned out to be a pleading? Did anyone who left the seal here promise a lifetime of death, Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal..."

Li Heng squinted his eyes and looked at the big boulder just now, holding the lamp to check the small characters engraved on it.

I saw all kinds of people's names signed on it, some of which were crooked and looked difficult to write, most of them were carved by people who were not very good at writing, and some of them were only engraved with "Second Dog" and "Three Baby". "With such a name, even the surname is not written smoothly.

But there are also good engravings, not only engraving your own name, but even engraving a line of words on it, some simple and complex.

Such as purely doctrinal slogans - "The old mother is above", "Maitreya blesses", "White lotus lives forever"...

There are also more practical ones—"Third brother, I will avenge you!", "Wait for me to go to the capital and take the emperor's dog's head", "I won't die, I will succeed"...

There are also more extreme ones - "Kill, kill, kill, kill!"

There are also those with more culture and national spirit-"I will die today, and the Han will continue, pouring out the country and restoring my Huaxia!"

.........

All these are too numerous to enumerate, all of which are similar to last words, and Li Heng also saw some familiar names in these signatures.

"Zhang Mingwu", "Sun Sanhu", "Wang Ping"...and "Zhou Deyang"!
Under this ancient blood test and oath, a secret that had been hidden for more than 100 years was gradually revealed in front of Li Heng.

"Pregnant Immortal Lotus Terrace, narrowly escaped death...does that mean?"

Looking at the scriptures of the White Lotus Sect and a large number of secret records left on the altar, Li Heng knew what a "pregnant fairy" was.

The so-called "Great Immortal" is the "Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal" mentioned on the iron shape.

This fairy was not conceived out of thin air, but was transformed by people.

This [Myojin Sect] is one of the many Bailian branches that was not considered a powerful school. During the entire uprising, it was once scattered and defeated by the Qing army. In the end, it was even unable to free up its strength to go to the frontline battlefield, so it could only provide logistical support for other branches. .

And when they retreated to the Qinling Mountains to avoid the main force of the Qing army, they accidentally found a cave in the mountains. After investigation, they found that there was a large amount of saltpeter in the cave, which was a natural fire salt mine!
The members of the Myojin Sect were overjoyed and immediately placed here, because they had already been reduced to logistical support, so they could dig mines and smelt nitrate to make gunpowder here, and help other Bailian branches in exchange for money and food for maintenance.

However, during the mining process, they were also slowly exploring the ground fissure deep in the Qinling Mountains, extending downwards and inwards, and finally discovered a very strange underground cavity.

Everywhere here is dark red like blood, just like the endless hell described in Buddhist scriptures.

And in this "Infernal Hell", they stumbled upon an even more bizarre place.

It was a pool of water, but what flowed in the pool was not water, but another substance they didn't know at all.

The substance was as thick as soup, pure white as milk, nothing natural at all.

In the end, the owner of the altar was well-informed and knowledgeable, and said that what was in it was [Ksitigarbha Essence].

This [Essence of Dizang] is the place where the energy of the earth gathers, and the essence of the earth can only be produced when the vitality of the mountains and rivers is deposited. It took hundreds of millions of years to gather such a pool of essence.

It is the product of the fortune of seizing the heaven and the earth, and the mystery of invading the sun and the moon.

But since it is a treasure, it is naturally guarded by foreign objects. There is a huge rat nest around this essence pool, and there are countless huge gophers living there, which are extremely fierce. For this reason, the White Lotus Sect has launched many In the "war between man and mouse", even gunpowder was brought in.

In the end, although the giant rat was not exterminated, the Tibetan spirit was finally obtained.

Hearing that this is a treasure of heaven and earth, some congregants can't wait to drink this essence of earth storehouse. However, all the congregants who did so died violently immediately, and the death conditions were miserable and ugly.

Immediately, a wave of panic was set off in the church, and the Tibetan spirit changed from a treasure to an ominous object in the eyes of everyone, and this place was banned for a time.

However, people's desire and curiosity cannot be sealed.

Not long after, another altar master unsealed this place after taking over, and came up with the idea of ​​[Ksitigarbha Essence] again, but this time he changed the method, no longer directly taking it internally, but using it externally .

However, this Ksitigarbha essence has a characteristic, that is, it can only exist in that pool. Once it leaves the pool, it will soon lose its milky color and become transparent, gradually turning into ordinary mountain spring water and losing its effectiveness.

Therefore, people can only enter the pool and soak in the essence of the earth.

This move really worked. The original soaker had a miraculous change after he came out. His body changed rapidly, his muscles became tighter and firmer, his meridians became stronger and stronger, his skin became harder and stronger, and his strength continued to increase. Enhanced, until the final body surface is even as tough as an iron sword, it is not easy to cut.

Just like in the folklore, the upper body of the "Great Immortal" was invited, and he was no longer a mortal!
With this precedent, the follow-up people will join in one after another, and they will all enter this pool to bathe in the Tibetan Immortal Essence.

Think about it, if the entire Myojin Sect congregation becomes such an invulnerable and powerful "immortal", wouldn't the world be within reach?
But how could the world be so simple and wishful, and soon they discovered that not everyone was as lucky as the first person, and almost all the follow-ups died after being soaked, their bodies turned black and their skin shriveled and withered like tree bark. appalling.

This frightened the believers again, and the horror was more than that. The first successful person died only half a year after the "big fairy possessed the body".

The body of the dead believer showed a strange bronze color, and his whole body seemed to be solidified into metal.

After this series of accidents, the White Lotus Sect realized that this was not the nectar and jade dew from the blessed land of the fairy family at all.

Later, the congregation who soaked in [Ksitigarbha Essence] and did not die immediately was called the Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal.

Because their bodies will continue to become strong and tough during their lifetime, and they will be like iron armor, and their bodies will solidify like brass after death, hence the name.

In order not to cause panic, the altar master and elders and other high-level officials concealed the truth about the Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal from the outside believers, and only referred to him as "Great Immortal".

Only the most core believers can know the truth, and it is possible to become a new "big fairy" through rituals (soaking).

It's just that most people don't have this kind of courage. After all, the probability of death is as high as [-]%, and even if they succeed, their lifespan will not exceed three years, or even only a few months.

Basically, only those who have been deeply brainwashed or who have a deep hatred with the Qing court will choose to "become a fairy".

That's why this forbidden place is called "The Lotus Terrace of Pregnant Immortals". With a lot of human lives, a "great immortal" who is invincible on the battlefield is bred. Sword wounds, sword wounds, and foreign guns all the way into the Forbidden City, to the front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In other words, the so-called "great immortal" is actually nothing more than a "dead warrior" who can defeat the crowd with one blow.
