The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 680: The Journey to the Mountain of Osorrow (33)

Terao Yu firmly believed that although the path pointed out by Qian Xiaoyi was difficult, as long as he persisted, he would be able to surpass Hiruda and even the witch whom he regarded as his idol and become the true strongest sorcerer.

This path could not directly lead to a leap forward in his strength, but it gave him more choices. If his previous understanding and use of curses was like a gorilla using branches to beat the enemy, even if he continued on this path, his upper limit would be a strong silverback gorilla that could throw stones.

Then the path that Qian Xiaoyi pointed out to him was equivalent to allowing primitive people to discover fire.

Although this flame is tiny, it has great potential. It can be used for cooking, processing tools, attacking enemies... With this small flame as the center, countless more profound knowledge can be extended. It is the starting point of civilization.

Now, he is using this "civilized" way to try to analyze what happened to the zombie. He is carried on King Kong's shoulders, not because he is injured and cannot run, but because he wants to carefully study the strand of hair in his palm.

"I was wrong. The enemy is really powerful." King Kong said as he ran, "Why does this kind of creature exist? Our attacks can hardly cause any damage."

Suzuna said, "Didn't Terao succeed? Even though it was just a hair."

Terao Yu stared at the hair in his hand and explained casually, "That was done by using the [Corpse Poison] that King Kong had been infected with before. I used the enemy's own power, but the effect was limited... But when I successfully analyze the enemy's power, I can create a specific curse to target it, just like a virus. This is the new ability I have gained... hehehe~"

As he said this he sneered like a middle school student.

"You'd better focus on your work..." Before Lingna could finish her words, the team stopped. Just as she was about to ask, she saw the scene ahead.

In front of them, there appeared a large lake blocking the road. It was actually made of blood. Under the reflection of the blood moon, the blood was constantly surging and boiling. One could vaguely see the undead struggling and floating in the lake, which was chilling.

"What is this place!" Ling Na asked, "Is there such a place in the scenic area?"

Qian Xiaoyi said: "Blood Pond Hell..."

King Kong was dumbfounded: "Are you mistaken? Isn't that just a small pond?"

In the real world, the so-called Blood Pond Hell in the tourist attraction is just a small pool, so shallow that you can see the coins thrown into the pool by tourists at the bottom. Unexpectedly, it has turned into such a natural barrier in the spiritual world.

Qian Xiaoyi looked back and saw that the enemy army was getting closer and closer. He said, "Linna, can you take us over?"

Suzuna said, "I'll try my best. My power has been weakened compared to before."

The Mountain God Mask shouted, "It's all because of you guys' procrastination!"

Suzuna ignored the noisy mountain god Noh mask and stretched out her hand. The blood in the lake boiled more and more violently. A red road rose from the lake and continued to extend forward. They made a quick decision and rushed straight over. The road began to collapse after they passed by to prevent the enemy from following them using this road.

On both sides of the road, ghosts kept rushing out of the water, trying to drag them into the water, but Qian Xiaoyi did not take these residual souls seriously. He picked up the copper coin sword and transformed himself into a god of death. No undead could get close to them at all. He led the team all the way to the other side of the blood pool.

She had breathed a sigh of relief, but Suzuna looked back out of habit and immediately got goosebumps all over her body: "Oh no! That zombie is chasing us!"

It was neither swimming nor flying. The zombie exuded an ominous deathly aura. Its legs did not exert any force but jumped strangely, as if it could not feel gravity. Every time it landed, countless undead would surge out of the blood pool, scrambling to become its foothold, allowing it to chase it as if it were walking on flat ground.

The most important thing is that the guy is faster than them! There is also a large wave of undeads around him, rushing towards them like a tide, trying to drown them completely. "It's about to be caught up!" Ling Na turned around and shouted: "Mr. Qian! Think of a way quickly! I can't stop it!"

"Be patient." Qian Xiaoyi said, "Our support is almost here."

As he said this, he looked in a certain direction and his eyes met with Miba's.

On the altar in the temple courtyard, Wei Bo noticed Qian Xiaoyi's eyes and immediately understood what to do. She clasped her hands together, holding the rosary in her hands, and muttered something. The other mediums and monks present immediately heard that Wei Bo had changed the object of her prayer.

"What's going on? Is the procedure wrong?"

“Is this the time to read this?”

"She is the officiant now, follow her pace."

The psychics participating in the ceremony also cooperated with Wei Bo and changed the spell.

In addition to Miba, the group of exorcists led by Ryuko Kidou who came to Mount Osore for special training are also ready. They are scattered on the mountain paths around the temple, and in front of each of them there is a statue of Jizo that is either big or small, new or old.

Gui Teng Longguang took off his hat, looked at the Ksitigarbha statue in front of him with a serious expression, and began to recite the Rebirth Mantra, which was his best skill.

You know, Mount Osore has not only primitive mountain god beliefs, but also a strong Buddhist faith. As the "entrance to hell", how can the famous Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva be missing? Therefore, it is not surprising to see Ksitigarbha statues in any corner of Mount Osore. No one can count how many stone statues are placed in the mountain.

If the mountain god is the god in charge of the affairs on this side of the human world, then Ksitigarbha is the god in charge of the underworld. When all the psychics began to exert their strength and pray for the response of this almighty, the blood pool hell in the ghost domain also changed.

"There's something in the lake!" Suzuna shouted.

The lake water shook, and an extremely huge statue of Ksitigarbha rose from the lake, causing huge waves that washed the undead in the lake aside.

Looking up at this Ksitigarbha statue, everyone felt that they were extremely insignificant.

The stone statue of Ksitigarbha still had that kind and compassionate expression, motionless, looking down at the crowd, or perhaps looking at the zombies not far behind them.

After the Ksitigarbha statue rose up, the zombie stopped chasing. It stared at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and murmured in a hoarse voice: "Is this what you rely on? Asking such a person to suppress my restless soul? This is really disrespectful to the elderly..."

Qian Xiaoyi and the others didn't care about that. They took advantage of the moment when Dizang stopped and quickly escaped. They fled all the way to the other side of the lake. When they got here, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Didn't they catch up with us?" King Kong put down Terao Yu and looked back. The huge statue of Ksitigarbha had its back to them, motionless.

And if they could see the front of the statue, they would find that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva actually left two lines of blood and tears.
