The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 446: Ksitigarbha's regret, the dagger is revealed (asking for monthly ticket)
"This……"

"What's going on?"

"It is said that when the two ghost kings are here, the evil monks in the hall are invincible, so they have to deal with the ghost kings first before they can enter. But no one said that he would pass away immediately after the ghost kings left, right?"

"What should I do?"

Inside the main hall, Zhang Runzhi, Yan Huoxing and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

They looked at each other, not hiding the surprise in their eyes.

The monk's death was too sudden and too bizarre, which was completely different from what one had imagined, that he had fought a great battle with the opponent and won.

Only Lu Bingwei's eyes lit up.

She had come here originally for this monk, and now that her mission was accomplished, she was naturally delighted.

However, although her joy was beyond words, her movements were very cautious. She did not go over and collect the golden bowl and the blooming brains inside. Instead, she just stood there, swung out her sleeves, reached out like a snail tentacle, carefully wrapped around the golden bowl and lifted it up.

Then, she maintained this posture and pulled the golden bowl back inch by inch.

The whole process was extremely smooth, and the golden bowl seemed to be moving horizontally without any shaking.

Upon seeing this, everyone fell silent, staring at Lu Bingwei taking the treasure without blinking, and no one spoke to interrupt.

Only Xu Shu's pupils shrank and his eyes widened.

Did you hear it right? The noose is not a noose, but the one speaking inside the body is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?

Even though they had only met once in the legend, the other party was one of the few god-level beings that Xu Shu had ever seen. His identity was too special, so how could Xu Shu forget it?
Although the sound made by the noose before his death was a little unclear, Xu Shu still recognized it.

Combined with the words "earth" and "hell" that appear later, it is impossible to be wrong.

This is the voice of Ksitigarbha!
In the legendary [The Dead Return], Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is hiding in a temple and still maintains his own independent status!

It’s the guy who took his cheap mother Christina away!
It was also that strange evil Buddha who killed himself several times in seconds with space slash during many expeditions in the real world. After he was done, he came out with compassion and said "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty" to send him off!
He was the "Ksitigarbha" who was inexplicably fleeing from the wasteland when they last met, and who casually killed the Count of Lance who had given him a parting gift!
but……

"Hasn't he already merged with the god of death? Why is he still here?"

"Well, the sound made by the noose is more like the sound of Him in the temple..."

"It seems that this is definitely not His true self, but just a little remnant of His will left in this world?"

Xu Shu thought thoughtfully.

As Jizo is a god-level being, it is not a strange thing that his remaining will can speak and even simulate monsters and humans, and it is easy to accept.

Compared to this, Xu Shu was more curious about why Lu Bingwei came for the remaining Buddhist characters of Ksitigarbha?

Wait, these two Buddha characters are very similar to the ones in the mermaid’s body…

No, it's not similar, it's basically the same thing.

Holy shit! I get it!
It turns out that the noose is a mermaid! And Lu Bingwei looks like a Taoist nun, but it is actually a cover-up. Her real identity is a Buddhist disciple!
For example, Wu Xin is a big thunder nun, while Lu Bingwei is a small thunder nun!
[Wow, this is a great guess, you are worthy of it! ]

[But do you have the final say, Xiaolei? ]

[At least take it off and test it, otherwise there is no basis for persuasion. You are an incompetent and scumbag owner who only dares to touch wild monsters without human rights. You are a scumbag~]

"..."

Xu Shu's mouth twitched, and he didn't take in Tai Chujuan's sarcastic tone.

The focus is not on Lu Bingwei's Xiao Lei.

The point is, according to this situation, if we speculate, the Buddhists have been looking for and collecting the Buddhist characters in "One Hundred Demons Night Parade", which is actually the remaining will of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
But isn’t the mermaid the half-step primordial spirit “Yanbu”?

If the mermaid is derived from the remnant of Ksitigarbha's will, then in this case, should the full name of Ksitigarbha by the Tail be "Yuan Shen·Yanfu: Ksitigarbha by the Tail"?
Wouldn't that be a perfect match with "Primordial Spirit and Spiritual Wisdom: Narrow-sleeved Guanyin"?

Could the little jade Buddha really be related to the divine level? Of course, this seems reasonable, after all, she can eat "divine wisdom teeth"!

Xu Shu used to be a little scared because he had flirted with her many times, but after getting used to it, he thought it was nothing.

Humph, I am stronger than these gods with the Taichu Scroll! Isn't it just the sixth level? It's not like I haven't been one before! And when I was one, I was a human god and a dragon god!

What other functions do these Buddhist characters have?

Like the temples, Buddhism declined and fell after the catastrophe. Could this be related to the fall of the bodhisattvas in these myths and legends? Could the so-called "collapse of the sacred mountain" be the reason?
It seems to make sense when you think about it this way. Ksitigarbha is gone, but he has returned as "Ksitigarbha with the tail". No wonder Buddhism does not collect anything else but the remaining Buddhist characters from him.

Maybe, these Buddhist characters can help Him enhance His own authority and power!
It's a pity that the narrow-sleeved Guanyin doesn't eat this Buddhist character...

……

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Xu Shu's mind, as if he had opened "100,000 Whys", bubbling with thoughts.

He even had a bold idea. If he gave the Buddhist characters to Ksitigarbha, could he get some benefits from Him?

This is not impossible, right?

After all, he had mastered the ritual command of "Ksitigarbha the Tail", and could directly communicate with this god-level being through the sacrificial ceremony!
Well, I can try it later on my journey.

He is a god-level being, but he only gave me a third-order crystal as a gift. This is too stingy. He should at least give me a complete divinity to calm me down, right? Hehehehe...

Xu Shu was constantly thinking in his mind, calculating very quickly, and he didn't notice that Gu Yueming behind him was also opening her mouth in surprise - it is worth mentioning that there was surprise, memories, and emotion in her eyes, but no doubt.

As for the two relatively complete Buddhist characters "Earth" and "Hell" at the scene, Xu Shu had no intention of claiming them for himself.

After all, everyone had agreed before coming in that the things on the lasso would belong to Lu Bingwei and the others, and the rest would belong to themselves and the others.

Now both the Slit-mouthed Woman and Tomie are in his pocket, and the benefits promised by the other party have actually been given. A real man should keep his word, and he cannot destroy his reputation for such a small thing.

Um, come to think of it, they just said that the golden bowl belongs to them, nothing else... Never mind...

Xu Shu shook his head and shook off his messy thoughts.

At this time, after a period of hard work, Lu Bingwei, the "Little Lei Nun" in Xu Shu's eyes, finally succeeded in getting the golden bowl and brain flower in her hands.

She said with a little joy on her face: "Alright! It's done. Now that we have come to this point, we have cleared this secret realm..."

Before Lu Bingwei could finish her words, the entire main hall suddenly began to shake slightly, as if responding to her words.

Along with the vibration, the golden bodies of Arhats and Bodhisattvas seemed to be weathering rapidly and turning into powder.

Including the big Buddha in front of you, gold powder fell down and condensed into a space vortex at the bottom of the Buddha statue, the same as when you entered.

The vortex quickly grew larger and spiraled inward, making it dizzying.

Yan Huoxing looked back and said, "The secret realm is about to close. Hurry up and leave. It will be too late to leave."

As he said this, he took the lead, stepped into the whirlpool without hesitation, and disappeared.

Seeing this, the others immediately followed and filed out.

Xu Shu was still the last one to leave.

After pushing Gu Yueming out, Xu Shu paused for a moment and glanced suspiciously at this secret place called Qingshan Temple, which was actually "Qingshui Temple".

As far as the eye could see, in the square outside the main hall, dense crowds of dead souls were still kneeling and crawling there, exactly the same scene as seen at the beginning.

Outside the hall, there seemed to be no impact, as if there was a clear boundary between inside and outside the hall.

It was obvious that the Main Hall, along with the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas inside, had all disappeared and been annihilated as the secret realm was opened, but these ghosts seemed to be completely unaware and continued to worship devoutly.

Although he and others had been here before and killed a large number of ghosts and zombies.

But this doesn't seem to have made much of a difference to them.

Those who die will naturally be replaced by others.

It’s just that there are fewer familiar faces. What difference does it make to these dead people with their heads buried in the ground?

It's like drawing a gun to cut off the water flow. After the gun is drawn out, the water continues to flow, unchanged forever.

With a quick glance, Xu Shu saw a larger corpse looking at him before kneeling down.

Will-o'-the-wisp flickered in its eye sockets, as if carrying some strange emotional fluctuations, and it was impossible to tell what exactly it was.

As if it had made eye contact with Xu Shu, the large corpse suddenly put its hands together, and it was unclear whether it was bowing to Xu Shu or to the giant Buddha behind him that was disappearing into thin air, and then it knelt down devoutly.

"..."

Xu Shu opened his mouth, feeling somewhat curious.

"Sealed Land", "City of the Unjustly Dead", he guessed that the real secret of this place has not yet been unearthed, and it may require some opportunities or other triggers.

Unfortunately, there was no time to think about it now. Xu Shu could only make a brief note of it, and then before the main hall collapsed completely, he jumped and jumped into the space channel in the vortex again.

Zizi!

Zizi!

The inner walls of the passage are still as narrow, dark and slippery as before.

Xu Shu did not stop, but walked quickly forward. After walking a few dozen steps, the front was bright, but there was a slight sense of space under his feet.

With a plop, he landed steadily on the ground and returned to the original entrance, where he saw Gu Yueming and others who had left the secret realm earlier.

As Xu Shu landed on the ground, the sandalwood stick, which was less than one-third burned, broke in the middle and disappeared along with the space crack behind him.

"They're coming out."

Shan Shitou suddenly spoke, and Xie Xiaochan shook her twin ponytails and jumped out.

"So fast."

"It looks like things are going very well."

Led by Xie Xiaochan, Ning Zhaoxuan, Xiao Yingrong, Yan Shan and Jiang Biyun, who were responsible for guarding outside, also came out from their hiding places.

Some jumped down from the treetops, and some crawled out from the bushes, hiding quite well.

A group of eleven people gathered together, and the momentum was quite huge.

Silently, it seemed as if a prying gaze from afar moved away from here.

"Hey." Zhang Runzhi raised his eyebrows, snorted coldly, and looked over.

With a whoosh, the person hiding in the distance silently put away the telescope, turned around and jumped, disappearing without a trace.

Obviously, some people wanted to take advantage of the situation, but when they saw that they were so numerous and powerful that it was difficult to deal with them, they retreated on their own.

"Hahaha, everyone, thank you for your hard work!"

Yan Huoxing laughed and came over, greeting Xie Xiaochan and the others.

Then he said to Xu Shu, "Brother Xu, I didn't expect those two ghost kings to escape. It's a wasted trip for you! How about this, after we finish this and leave the ruins, I will give you the difference in the value of the spoils we agreed on, how about that?"

"Ah?" Xu Shu was obviously stunned.

Seeing this, Xie Xiaochan and others pricked up their ears and guessed what had happened.

The former misunderstood Xu Shu's intention when he saw his dazed expression, and asked without hesitation: "Yan Huoxing, what do you mean? Did you secretly swallow my little brother's reward?"

"Haha, Sister Qiangwei, you're joking. Actually, it's like this..." Yan Huoxing calmly explained the situation briefly.

It turned out that Yan Huoxing was not a stupid person. He could naturally see that Xu Shu had made a great contribution to the smooth progress in the secret realm.

Now that they had obtained the golden bowl they had wanted, they only got three crystals of the mid-stage corpse king, which were only of excellent grade and not worth much money, as promised to share with the other party.

This is obviously much different than the agreed rewards for the two "Third-Level Peak Ghost Kings".

Although it seemed that it was Xu Shu himself who let the Ghost King escape, Yan Huoxing didn't think so.

If you really say that, you will definitely offend Xu Shu to death!

How much would the crystals in the bodies of the two ghost kings be worth? At most, 60 to 70 million.

It was obviously not worthwhile to offend a rising star on the list who was also a "genius" for such a small amount of money. It would be better for the three of them to pool their money together and each of them would contribute more than 2,000 yuan. "Isn't that right?" Yan Huoxing winked at his teammates with a smile.

"can."

"Of course~"

Lu Bingwei and Ai Li both nodded quickly in agreement. Of course, the former was now concentrating on studying the golden bowl, while Ai Li cast an ambiguous look on Xu Shu, looking back and forth, especially at his mermaid, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Among the three, only Zhang Runzhi seemed to be more normal. He smiled and nodded without saying anything, which was considered as his agreement.

"Well, that's fine, let's just leave it at that."

Xu Shu touched his nose to hide his embarrassment.

The other party was so polite that if he refused again, he would be exposed. However, they seemed to have plenty of money, so Xu Shu didn't feel guilty at all.

Everyone discussed it again and decided that since Yan Huoxing and his team had achieved their goal, the next destination was Xie Xiaochan's team.

It is different from small secret places like "Qingshan Temple".

"Death Ridge" is a very famous secret place on the Internet.

Even to this day, explorers have not yet figured out the exact size of Death Ridge.

Many "high-level" extraordinary players who like to study strategies to pass the game believe that the scale of the Death Ridge may not be much smaller than the "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" Island on the sea. Such a huge secret realm is obviously very special. If you want to pass the One Hundred Demons Night Parade, the key clue is suspected to be in the Death Ridge on the other side of the ocean.

Many people support this view, because after many explorations, it was found that there are also a large number of hidden and terrifying existences in Sigaoling.

If you want to enter the Death Ridge, you must have a special trigger to open the secret entrance called "Hokkaido" before you can enter and exit.

This is also the main reason why Death Ridge is considered a "great secret realm" rather than an independent relic.

"Then let's get going! The distance from here to the entrance of Death Ridge is not short."

Xie Xiaochan took out a map of "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" and marked two circles on it.

One is located in the middle of the lower right corner of the map, which is the current location of you and others.

The other one is in the far north, and there is even a small landmark in the middle that marks the ocean. Inside the small circle is her beautiful handwriting as a mark.

It can be seen that her words "having done sufficient homework" were not bragging, but she really put in a lot of effort in research in order to redeem herself from the past.

"We will go west first, avoiding the 'Naichuan River' which is known as a forbidden place for living beings, and walk to the sea. Then, we will head north along this abandoned railway..."

Xie Xiaochan drew the route very carefully and showed it to everyone.

Xu Shu suddenly raised his eyebrows: "What Naichuan River?"

Xie Xiaochan pouted and said, "This horizontal blue area is the Naichuan River. It was originally named because there were two characters Naichuan on the river bank and a strange symbol in front of it. Later, because there were a lot of drowned ghosts in this river, and people who left the ruins after going there also had nightmares, their health deteriorated, and they were easily out of control, it was called the forbidden land for living beings."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xu Shu nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly pointed to a place and asked, "Then what is this radiation island?"

Xie Xiaochan explained: "It's an island full of corrosive monsters, including ratmen, ant-headed people, carrot-hole people, etc. It's very large. If you go in, you will be contaminated by the notorious radiation during the catastrophe. You must be accompanied by an 'alchemist', otherwise you can't enter."

"Oh, what about this withered yellow fruit field?"

"In a plain covered with fallen leaves, various fruits will grow on people's bodies, just like the autumn harvest season..."

Xu Shu asked a lot of questions, and Xie Xiaochan answered them patiently without getting tired of it.

The others did not have as many questions as Xu Shu, and after some discussion, they quickly reached a consensus.

According to the map, the journey from Qingshan Temple to the north is thousands of kilometers.

The speed of a third-level expert is indeed very fast, and Xu Shu can even catch up with a high-speed train. However, in this ruins full of dangers, it is impossible to rush at full speed without any scruples, and the speed will definitely be affected.

It would take at least four, no, maybe five or six hours to get there.

Without further ado, set off immediately.

However, after traveling hundreds of miles, when everyone passed a certain place again, the "butcher" Zhang Runzhi, who had not spoken much along the way, spoke again.

"Everyone, I think this place is worth a visit. The people over there seem to be almost done. How about we go and take a look? Haha, I'm just going to take a look and I won't do anything. I'm also curious about the famous Zhongyong Post."

Zhang Runzhi said this, pointing to the woods not far away.

There is also a famous secret place in the ruins, Nagoya.

"Um, this..."

Upon seeing this, Yan Huoxing and the others looked at each other in silence.

I passed by here on my way to Qingshan Temple just now and encountered a punitive team that was trying to conquer this secret place.

At that time, Zhang Runzhi suggested that perhaps they could "take the other party's things for protection", but everyone was still honest and rejected him.

At this moment, Zhang Runzhi brought up the old matter again. How could we not know what Zhang Runzhi was thinking?
What are you talking about being curious about?

It's obvious that Zhang Runzhi is still determined to kill people and steal their treasures!

Seeing Xu Shu, Xie Xiaochan and others looking away with some disgust, the atmosphere suddenly froze and became extremely awkward. Yan Huoxing also felt a little ashamed.

He didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only laugh dryly and said, "Haha, Brother Runzhi, I don't think it's necessary. I think there might be better treasures in Sigaoling, right?"

He started, and Ai Li also laughed and agreed: "These guys may not be able to pass the level, let's spend our energy on more important things, hehe."

Zhang Runzhi looked at his two teammates, suddenly chuckled, looked at Lu Bingwei and said, "Daoyou Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Bingwei was examining the golden bowl, studying what was inside. She frowned in displeasure when she heard this: "I paid you a fair amount of your hiring fee, didn't I?"

"That's not true."

Zhang Runzhi spread his hands helplessly, looked around, and said in surprise: "Hey, what's wrong with you? I really don't mean any harm, why are you looking at me like that? Oh, there's really nothing I can do. Since you all don't want to go over, then..."

"Yes, yes, forget it. We just met by chance, so don't cause trouble to others."

"That's right, that's right."

Everyone saw that his attitude seemed to soften, including Jiang Biyun and others who were only "temporary allies", and subconsciously persuaded and echoed him.

But the next second.

The smile on Zhang Runzhi's face suddenly disappeared without warning, and he said coldly: "It's really troublesome, then let's do it right here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Runzhi suddenly jumped to the outer circle, took out a small knife, and stabbed it into his own chest with a ferocious look on his face.

scoff!

Scarlet blood suddenly gushed out, like a spider web, spreading from Zhang Runzhi's forehead all the way to his eyebrows, making him look crazy and terrifying.

"Ok?"

"Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

This sudden change made everyone stunned.

Before they could think about it, a harsh friction sound suddenly sounded in the air!
"Woo!"

"Wow!"

A wailing sound like the cry of a newborn baby instantly exploded from everyone's head.

One after another, fist-sized, pointed white light balls appeared between the brows of Yan Huoxing and others.

Their faces quickly hatched, like children with distorted and resentful expressions. They opened their mouths and bit everyone's forehead, tearing them apart with all their might.

"what!"

"It hurts!"

"What happened...what did you do?!"

Everyone realized something was wrong and felt like they were struck by lightning.

Lu Bingwei, Xie Xiaochan, and Yan Huoxing quickly used various methods, either casting talismans to protect themselves, or displaying mysterious Dharma to fight against the baby, or directly spraying a large amount of magma-like fire and blood from their bodies to fight against it.

People like Jiang Biyun, Yan Shan and others were obviously much weaker in strength. They were bitten by these strange children and could not move. They fell to the ground with blood gushing out of their seven orifices, screaming in pain, and were completely unable to fight against them.

Seeing that he succeeded in his attack, Zhang Runzhi smiled crookedly: "What did I do? A bunch of idiots, go to hell and ask. Especially you, Lu Bingwei, you take the lion's share, and use some money to send me to work for you? Haha, you want to possess such a treasure, are you worthy?"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and suddenly started muttering something.

"When the Holy Emperor comes to the world, he will destroy all the stubborn and stubborn poisons in the world! He said that those who betray me will receive the same punishment as me and repent on the cross! For eternity, there will be no liberation!"

Accompanied by repeated and echoing chants, mysterious men in silver armor jumped out without warning from the surrounding dense forests, under the grass, and on the treetops.

They held long swords, formed a circle, and descended from the sky with a formation formed by arc-shaped light beams.

In an instant, a seemingly divine power suddenly descended, and the huge shadow of the cross covered the sky, trapping the injured and unable to resist in the middle, and instantly moved together and condensed into substance.

There were ten crosses in total, exactly the same number as the number of people trapped there.

They automatically stuck to the backs of Yan Huoxing, Xie Xiaochan, Lu Bingwei and others, as if they wanted to nail their hands and feet to the cross, just like the suffering Lord in the myths and legends!

"Red Emperor Army?" Xie Xiaochan's eyes focused.

"Damn it, Zhang Runzhi! What on earth did you do?" Lu Bingwei gritted her teeth and held on.

Yan Huoxing also roared: "Are you fucking crazy?!"

Although they wanted to resist, they suffered from strange headaches, as if there were ten thousand small hammers pounding inside their brains, making it impossible for them to concentrate. They could hardly even exert 30% of their full strength.

As for the other six, they were nailed to the cross on the spot. They were either angry or terrified, and looked like they were ready to be slaughtered.

This sudden and sudden surprise attack actually subdued nine out of the ten people in one fell swoop!
At this moment, Xu Shu, the only free person at the scene, also narrowed his eyes.

He looked at the familiar-looking Red Emperor Army paladins surrounding him, and at the golden words that appeared on the Taichu Scroll:

[Oh no! It's bad! You were ambushed by a group of masters of the Red Emperor Army and accidentally stepped into the trap they set - Revelation 08: Born to be evil! ]

[You wanted to resist, but encountered great obstruction. There was something wrong with your covenant, and it was tampered with! ]

[It turns out that Zhang Runzhi is a Run person. As a master on the Human Ranking, he has joined this group of Red Emperor troops and wants to annihilate you here in one fell swoop. ]

[Through self-harm, Zhang Runzhi made the contract effective, which is considered as you actively betraying him. As a result, you have suffered the backlash of the contract! ]

[It's a traitor, you're done for now! ]

[But this doesn't bother you, because you didn't sign a contract at all. ]

[You had already predicted that this guy had ulterior motives? You are truly a great master, with amazing wisdom! ]

[But the next person standing in front of you is 6 mid- and late-stage third-level paladins of the Red Emperor Army, a full half dozen! There is also Zhang Runzhi, the "Golden Eyed Wolf Blade" ranked 274th on the Human Ranking, and Yan Hui, the "Purple Air Coming from the East" ranked 250th on the Human Ranking! ]

[Even though you are alone against eight, what are you afraid of? ]

[I'm sure that what's going to happen next is another exciting battle between two opponents of higher rank! ]

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu's expression froze slightly and he lowered his head.

The one who came into view and started wailing because of a headache...

Mermaid.

As a "half-step soul" that is difficult to destroy, this mermaid seems to have been harmed by the strange contract.

She writhes in agony, twisting her waist like a high-speed motor that keeps shaking.

"Sigh~"

Faced with a powerful enemy, Xu Shu could not help but take a deep breath and held the mermaid down tightly.

Damn it, stop moving!
Don't lose heart at the critical moment!
