Chapter 1656
Gu Zheng woke up slowly and looked at the sky above, which was covered by a layer of rolling dark clouds, but at the same time, a golden light extended to one side, as if guiding the way.
But he woke up soon and looked around in an instant. When he found that Xiaoying was still lying beside him, he was not in any serious trouble. He breathed a sigh of relief and had time to look around.
At this time, they had come to a fist area, and under them was the flower bed that made them sleep. At this time, it had merged with the surrounding ground, like a pattern on the ground.
Looking around, there were also many such flower grounds.
Seeing that Xiaoying was still sleepy, Gu Zheng carried Xiaoying down from the flower bed.
I don’t know how much time has passed since this sleep, and there was that strange dream. The monk I saw in the dream was exactly the same as Wuxiang’s master.
Why did I dream of that scene, as if I was watching it from the side all the time, until it stopped abruptly at the end, as if someone had deliberately let him see it.
Gu Zheng carried Xiaoying on his back and walked in the direction indicated by the golden line. Here, Gu Zheng found that his spiritual sense had been restricted. Unlike the first two floors, he could feel almost all situations.
Instead of walking aimlessly, it is better to follow the route of the golden line.
Not long after leaving the flower bed, Xiaoying behind him also woke up.
"You are awake. Now we should have reached the upper level safely. Don't worry." Gu Zheng did not let go of Xiaoying and continued to carry her forward. He spoke at the same time as she woke up.
"Well!" Xiaoying continued to lie on Gu Zheng's back with a little daze, holding Gu Zheng's shoulders tightly with both hands.
"By the way, young master, I just had a dream, a strange old monk and a fish monster." After a while, Xiaoying looked at the dark world around her and suddenly spoke.
"Did the old monk finally cast a spell to cure the fish monster in his hand?" Gu Zheng continued to move forward without stopping.
"Hey! How did you know, young master? You had the same dream as me? Later, the fish demon followed the old monk to practice Buddhism. What a good dream." Xiaoying said in surprise.
"The monk accepted the fish demon as his apprentice?" Gu Zheng's figure suddenly stopped, and his voice was a little high.
"Yes, didn't the fish demon go out? Then when he came back, he followed the old monk to practice Buddhism." Xiaoying said as if it was a matter of course.
"So that's how it is. I didn't dream about it, but it was the same as you before." Gu Zheng continued to walk forward and laughed.
It turned out that she had slept for so long and had made a little more progress than herself, but she had other doubts in her heart.
"Be careful!"
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the surrounding darkness. Before it appeared, Gu Zheng didn't notice the other party's arrival at all, until Xiaoying reminded him, but the other party had already pounced on him from the side.
But Gu Zheng was not panicked at all, and even Xiaoying behind him was not panicked, because the strength exuded by the other party was only at the late stage of the celestial being.
Gu Zheng even had some free time to look at the other party. The whole person was surrounded by messy black air, but when Gu Zheng saw his facial features, he was shocked.
Because the person holding the upper body of the fish demon in the dream just now, but now it was a human body, holding a harpoon-like weapon in his hand, with a ferocious face, raised the weapon and stabbed towards Gu Zheng's head.
"Let me try to convert him!" Xiaoying behind him suddenly said, causing Gu Zheng, who was about to take action, to stop, retreat to the side, and let go of Xiaoying.
Xiaoying's body had not yet stopped, and she began to mutter in her mouth. The low and clear sound could only be heard vaguely, as if she was chanting something with some melody.
And the black shadow that wanted to continue to pounce towards this side, only moved halfway, and the whole figure began to slow down, and the whole body slowly stood in the air.
Gu Zheng looked at the black shadow that was originally full of murderous intent. The hostility on his body gradually disappeared, and the black mist on his body also quickly dissipated. In just a dozen breaths, the color of his body began to change to gold.
After a while, the black shadow in front of him changed a lot. The Buddha's light was shining around him, and even the ferocious appearance looked much more pleasing to the eye.
"Hehe, okay, now this evil ghost has converted to Buddhism, and now we can let him explore the way for us." Xiaoying floated over from the side and smiled.
"I didn't expect that your Buddhist Dharma was so powerful. You have converted the other party in such a short time." Gu Zheng praised sincerely. Although the other party's cultivation was a little weak, she had never fought in actual combat and had almost no experience in Buddhist Dharma combat.
"Hehe, of course, I am actually very powerful." Xiaoying showed a proud smile on her face.
"Then it depends on you to lead the way next."
Gu Zheng smiled and said, watching the golden shadow turn around and walk forward, also following behind him.
"Of course, no matter how powerful they are, I can deal with them together." Xiaoying did not go up to let Gu Zheng carry her, and walked side by side.
Not long after they walked, the golden shadow leading the way in front of them had a Buddha's light on his body, as if he had entered a combat state.
Two black shadows with the same strength as it appeared in the distance, staring at the golden shadow with a fierce look. Even Gu Zheng and others behind them were not interested. As soon as they appeared, they attacked the golden shadow with the same weapons in their hands.
However, just as the weapons in their hands were raised, Xiaoying had already rushed forward and began to convert them again.
Soon they had three golden shadows exploring the way in front.
Half a day later, Gu Zheng looked at a large number of golden shadows in front of him and was speechless.
The weakest one was the one he saw at the beginning, and the strongest one was now in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal.
But no matter how much their cultivation was, as long as they appeared, they had successfully become one of their own side in a short time, and they were as mighty as an army, and they went ahead.
Within a radius of hundreds of meters, all were dispersed by the Buddha's light, and those black shadows hidden in it were like adding fuel to the fire, and they all came at the same time.
Gu Zheng really didn't know why there were so many black shadows of the fish demon, but he finally knew why they appeared here.
At the end of the golden line in the sky, there is a mountain that rises ten thousand feet from the ground, and the golden line falls from the sky like a stream. It seems that there should be a mystery inside the mountain.
However, outside, there are thousands of black fish monsters, surrounding this place, and it seems that they are constantly attacking inside.
Gu Zheng and Xiao Ying flew up again almost at the same time and looked into the distance.
There is a huge crack in the middle of the mountain. A huge golden mirror occupies almost one-third of it. A huge Buddha light shines out from it, reflecting the surroundings in a golden color.
And within a few dozen feet in front of the mirror, countless golden and black shadow fish monsters are fighting each other.
From here, it can be seen that in the darkness in the distance, black fish monsters gather here almost every moment, and the mirror inside will only take a long time for a golden fish monster to appear.
However, within the range of the surrounding Buddha light, the strength of those black shadow fish monsters is obviously weakened a lot. At this time, it seems that the two sides are evenly matched.
"Should we fight in?" Xiaoying looked at so many fish monsters and swallowed hard, because it was a bit difficult to control so many at this time, so many could not be converted even if they died.
"Of course, they are just miscellaneous soldiers. I can solve them all by myself." Gu Zheng seemed to know that Xiaoying had reached her limit. Looking at the group of people below who had reached the late stage of the Golden Immortal, and there were still many, he still said indifferently.
"Yes, I almost forgot that the young master had been promoted to the Daluo." Xiaoying's somewhat nervous mood finally relaxed and continued.
"Then let these companions guard him together and help you attract them. It's a good idea to make it easier."
Gu Zheng nodded, and the whole figure quickly flew towards.
At this time, the golden fish monsters coming below also made the black fish monsters on the periphery agitated. They were unaware that they only knew that there were enemies behind them, and some scattered black shadow fish monsters had rushed over.
At this time, under Xiaoying's control, those golden shadow fish monsters rushed towards each other.
After a dozen breaths, they pushed forward with all their strength and tore a hole in the middle, and continued to charge in.
However, it was only a hole. After all, most of these golden shadow fish monsters were weak, and the opponent was numerous. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by the black shadow Yuyao.
But Xiaoying didn't care. Under her control, these golden shadows who didn't know their own consciousness launched an attack fearlessly and made a large area of chaos.
And in this, a figure kept shuttling in it, specifically attacking those powerful fish monsters.
Almost in one round, they would die in his hands.
Moreover, after the death of those golden shadow fish monsters, their bodies would explode. Large pieces of golden light swept around, dispersing the surrounding black fog while causing huge damage to the black shadow fish monster.
The normal battle did not last for more than half an hour. As the last black shadow fish monster around turned into a ball of black fog and dissipated, there was no one around, and even a small half of the golden shadow fish monsters in the small night sky remained.
However, as a golden light suddenly burst out from the mirror, the surrounding area of hundreds of feet was shrouded in golden light, as if the dead black shadow fish monsters had become the nutrients of the mirror.
"Those fish monsters were controlled by the other party." Xiaoying looked at the distance in surprise. Those fish monsters scattered around and stood on the edge with the previous fish monsters, guarding the golden light area together.
"We are all leaving, why do we still carry these burdens? Do you really want to take them out? You can solve these by yourself, how useful can they be." Gu Zheng didn't care, and explained when he saw Xiaoying's distressed look.
At the same level, you can still say that you can kill the opponent with the same level of people, but if you want to cross the level, in addition to magic weapons, you can only rely on your body that is against the sky to the limit, and you can almost ignore the mortal body.
Gu Zheng was also showered under the Buddha's light, but he didn't feel any discomfort. Those golden shadow fish monsters didn't attack him, as if they didn't exist.
Xiaoying nodded reluctantly, flew from a distance, and landed beside Gu Zheng.
In order to prevent accidents, Gu Zheng did not let Xiaoying fly. Instead, he walked past the huge mirror step by step and continued to walk towards the depths.
Not far ahead, a huge golden pool appeared in front of them. The golden pool of golden water exuded a strong aura of Buddha's light.
High-altitude water flows continuously into the middle, causing a lot of water splashes. I don't know what is under this golden pool, but Gu Zhengque always feels like the pool he saw in his dream. Maybe it means something, maybe it has other functions.
Gu Zheng and the others' goal was to place a mirror behind the pool, which was more than ten feet tall, blocking the way behind.
The surface of the mirror is smooth and neat, but in the middle, it shows that a door has been opened.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" Gu Zheng asked Xiaoying next to him.
"Yes, this is the place leading to the upper level, I'm sure." Xiaoying nodded vigorously to enhance her persuasiveness.
"Then let's go!"
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he reached out and touched the mirror in front of him. As soon as it touched the surface, his palm sank in. A cool breath came from the top, and at the same time, faint ripples began to sway from the point of contact.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Zheng took Xiaoying and walked directly inside.
A very narrow passage appeared in front of them, and in front of the passage was the door.
Gu Zheng looked behind him and found that he was already inside the mirror. The outside world seemed to be separated by a layer of gauze. The golden water in the distance became extremely rough and he could not see the outside world clearly.
Gu Zheng turned around and continued walking forward. From here, it seemed that it would take at least a while.
But when he had just reached half the distance, a sudden sound of tsunami sounded in the air, and Gu Zheng suddenly felt that something was not good.
The door in front suddenly submerged into a blue wave of water. Before Gu Zheng could react, he suddenly felt that the entire mirror began to rise. At the same time, a strange aura suddenly appeared, and it directly blocked Gu Zheng's cultivation. for.
"ah!"
Xiaoying screamed and pressed her body tightly against Gu Zheng's back, hugging him tightly.
The entire mirror began to tilt downwards, and it became steeper and steeper and was about to become vertical.
Gu Zheng only had time to grab Xiaoying from behind, put her into his arms, and then she fell down.
"Wow"
Gu Zheng's back crashed heavily into the water waves below. Gu Zheng just wanted to stabilize his body, but found a strong suction coming from behind his body. He could only hug Xiaoying tightly. The next moment Gu Zheng felt He entered a dark environment, and a suffocating feeling surrounded him from all directions.
The next moment, Gu Zheng lost consciousness.
"I say that all dharmas arise because of their causes and conditions, and when their causes and conditions are exhausted, I say so."
It's still the same familiar cave, but all the previous skeletons have disappeared, and there are some more chairs and tables made of stone around.
Even in a corner, a stone statue of Bodhisattva was erected, with some fruits enshrined in front and a few half-burned incense candles, filling the cave with a light sandalwood fragrance.
A monk was sitting on a stone bench, holding a somewhat worn scripture in his hand, and said to a fish demon wearing a simple cassock below.
"Master, this sentence is so profound. What does it mean exactly?" The fish demon kept chanting in his mouth, always seeming to understand something, and he couldn't help asking anxiously.
"The meaning of this sentence is that all things meet, intersect, and perish for a reason, and the person who explains it to you is the one who will explain it to you." The old monk said unhurriedly.
"I understand." The fish demon suddenly understood, and continued, "Just like when I saw you injured and brought your master back, if I had not brought you back, then I would not be able to recognize the master."
"Yes, no!" The old monk nodded, then shook his head.
"Isn't it wrong?" The fish demon looked up doubtfully and asked in confusion.
"I have been here for five years. Although you have made good progress, the conditions here are still a bit lacking. Come back with me. There are many classics there. You can study them slowly and you will naturally know them." The old monk accepted He picked up the book and walked towards the cave entrance with the fish demon.
The scene suddenly changed. At this time, we were in a brightly lit cave. It was very huge, surrounded by precious magic weapons, and the middle position was even more densely carved with formations, making it possible for people to see everything at a glance. Dizziness.
An old man and a young man were standing inside. At this moment, Wu Xiang looked like some enlightened monk.
"Wuxiang, you have obtained the true inheritance of the Nine-Storied Pagoda, and you have completed many tests before. This time, you will use the Nine-Storied Pagoda to assist me in the final task of sealing this space crack. As long as this time is successful, Then I will deal with the other party completely in the future, and I will have completed the task assigned to me by the Buddha." The old monk stood in the middle and said to the fish demon holding a pagoda in the distance.
At this time, the fish demon's body was also full of Buddha's light, and his aura was steady. If you didn't look at the appearance, he was really an eminent monk.
"Yes, Master! I have been preparing for today for a long time, and I will definitely be able to assist Master in suppressing the demons here!"
Wu Xiang nodded solemnly, walked straight to the center of another formation, sat down cross-legged, and then raised his finger, and the nine-story tower spun on his head.
The old monk over there also sat down at the same time, activated the formation, and the formation began to operate in sequence.
At the same time, countless fierce evil auras suddenly appeared around them, roaring and attacking here.
"One tower as the base, nine floors as the limit, all evil demons, retreat!"
Here Wuxiang suddenly made complicated gestures, and Buddha power continued to flow into the nine-story tower above his head.
The nine-story tower suddenly grew up, and a strong suction force came from above, suppressing all the ghosts and demons that suddenly appeared around.
There was no interference with the operation of the formation. Seeing this, Wuxiang felt a little relieved, but he did not notice that a hidden black light suddenly shot into his vest under the formation.
"The old monk just wants to use me"
"I am a demon, and everyone looks down on me. Even if I am the master's disciple, there are people talking about it."
For a while, negative emotions kept ringing in the cave, reminding Wuxiang of the discrimination and unfair treatment he had suffered before.
"Is it just that I am not a human?" Wuxiang raised his hands in confusion. They were not human hands, but a pair of claws.
"Wu Xiang, what are you doing! Be careful!"
Suddenly, a roar woke him up from his daze, and he found that an evil demon had taken advantage of his distraction and stabbed him in the heart.
At this time, the figure of the old monk suddenly blocked in front of him and saved him.
"Master!"
