Chapter 1657

Gu Zheng's eyes suddenly opened, and his ears seemed to be still recalling the painful scream, but Gu Zheng had already seen at that time that the evil spirit had pierced the old man's heart, and he was afraid that the end would be bad.

However, before Gu Zheng could think of the ending he saw, an old voice suddenly sounded in Gu Zheng's ears.

"Donor, you're awake."

This made Gu Zheng suddenly startled, and he immediately sat up and looked in the direction of the rest of the message.

I saw a bald monk, wearing a familiar cassock, doing something slowly behind his back.

"Master, where is this?" Gu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then asked.

At this time, Gu Zheng discovered that he was in a simple bamboo house, and not far from him, there was a small bed, with Xiaoying still asleep on it.

Judging from the past, she should still know what happens next.

"This is on the fourth floor of the nine-story pagoda. I pulled you back here directly." The master turned his head and said with a smile.

"It's you!" Gu Zheng suddenly stood up from the bed and said in shock.

There is no other reason, because this old man is Wu Xiang's master, and his face is exactly the same as the one Gu Zheng saw in the temple.

"Isn't it shocking, but I am just the last ray of consciousness placed in the Nine-Storey Tower, and I died under the cave long ago." He seemed to be talking about other people's things, and it seemed that the person who died was not himself.

"Master, that's not what I meant." Gu Zheng first explained, and then said in shock, "Did you deliberately let us see that picture?"

"It doesn't count, it doesn't count. In fact, it was all evolved from the Wuxiang child closing his heart and staying here. It can be said that the first four floors, except here and the fifth floor, were all deliberately left here by the other party, and Confrontation with inner demons above level five," the master said with a sigh.

"But now, that kid Wu Xiang is feeding a tiger. He doesn't know that the defense of the nine-story tower is already in danger. When the time comes, the inner demon can completely devour Wu Xiang through this tower. It's a pity that I can only stay here and there is no way."

"Inner demon? You are the demon from the outside. The evil spirit all over your body is the inner demon without form!" Gu Zheng said after thinking of the evil formless person.

"Well, after the little spirit wakes up, I will tell you and you will understand everything." The master sighed, then continued to turn around and do something else.

Gu Zheng walked over curiously and found that the master was carving a piece of wood that was only the size of his palm. It was his own image. From here, the carving was almost completed, and the master was still carving little details on it.

As for what it was, Gu Zheng hadn't seen it yet, so he had to look elsewhere.

"Don't leave this room. It's a dark time outside. This place is different from other places. You are likely to be infected with something you shouldn't be infected with here. It's better to try to avoid the following."

Gu Zheng looked at the endless darkness outside the window to see if the sharp lightnings were falling, but he couldn't feel any breath or sound outside here. When he was about to go out and take a look, the master's warning suddenly came to his ears.

Seeing this, Gu Zheng retreated from the door.

It's not that Gu Zheng doesn't doubt the identity of the other party, but after his own observation, he found that although the other party has no strength at all, he can't even pretend to have the connotation of a Buddhist master. However, he still has to ask Xiaoying after a while, and the other party will definitely be able to tell the difference. come out.

Gu Zheng waited quietly here, but this time Xiaoying fell asleep for a long time, twice as long as expected last time. Just when Gu Zheng was worried, Xiaoying finally woke up.

His anxious eyes immediately caught sight of Gu Zheng standing aside. His eyes immediately curved into a crescent moon, which was very cute. Before Gu Zheng could step forward to speak, the other person's face immediately drooped and he spoke in a low voice.

"Sir, have we all gone to hell? I heard that Katana Ksitigarbha is also a Buddhist. Can you send us back again?"

"What kind of hell are you going to? Why are you thinking about it?" Gu Zheng couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, and immediately stepped forward to help Xiaoying up and said seriously.

"I say it again, you can't forget. Even if I go down, you won't go down, and no one else will even think of stepping on my body to hurt you."

Gu Zheng knew that the other party still had too little experience and felt insecure when encountering things. He had to reassure the other party. After this period of time, there would be no need to say more in the future.

"Yes!" Xiaoying nodded solemnly, as if she had taken Gu Zheng's words to heart.

"By the way, I saw the fish demon again just now, and the old monk." Xiaoying thought of something, and regardless of why she appeared here, she thought it was Gu Zheng who brought her here, and said hurriedly.

"Is this the old monk you're talking about?" Gu Zheng watched the master turn around and pointed at him.

"It's him, it's him, the master of Master Wuxiang, the compassionate old monk." Xiaoying followed what Gu Zheng knew and looked over. A familiar face appeared in front of her, and she immediately said loudly and subconsciously.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoying's body suddenly stiffened, as if frozen in the air, and she looked at the compassionate old monk. She looked at the other person looking at her with a smile on her face, twitching the corners of her mouth, and then turned her head little by little. Xiang Gu Zheng had a questioning look in his eyes.

Gu Zheng nodded slowly with a smile in his eyes.

"You also said that we didn't come down and even saw the deceased Monk Mercy." A little fluorescent light appeared in Xiaoying's eyes, and she suddenly screamed.

"Okay, Master Mercy won't blame you. Don't try to fool around. Besides, we have nowhere to go." Gu Zheng sighed and said with a headache.

You don't need to look at yourself to know what the other person is thinking, let alone Master Mercy over there.

"Really?" Xiaoying said secretly again, covering her face with her little hands, for fear of seeing her without tears.

Gu Zheng nodded, and then when he saw Xiaoying's face softening, she quickly jumped off the bed, walked towards Master Mercy, with a faint Buddhist light on her body, and gave Master Mercy a big gift.

"Xiaoying pays homage to Master Mercy. I am a lost soul who was taught by your apprentice Wuxiang. It was only under his teachings that I was able to practice Buddhism like this."

"You can see that I knew about it when you practiced in the secret room on the first floor last time." The compassionate master said with a slight smile, not minding what Xiaoying did to the child just now.

"Okay, I guess you should know that since I brought you here, I must have something to ask for, so I won't riddle you on this point." The compassionate master said to Gu Zheng in the distance.

"I don't know what Master Mercy's instructions are. If I can, I will definitely help you." Gu Zheng said firmly.

I have just communicated with Xiaoying and the others, and the other party is definitely not an evil spirit. From this point of view, it seems that it is Master Wuxiang with the highest probability.

"Help me, and I also help you. I know that you were captured by Wu Xiang and their inner demons. If you want to get out, then just take Wu Xiang's once closed memory out. And on the upper floor, there is a The Altar of Memory, with his memory, prevents him from continuing to be bewitched by his inner demons."

Master Mercy said so much in one breath, but Gu Zheng only understood a little bit.

"These are the memory fragments you came up on the first two floors. After you have seen the memory crystal I kept on this floor, you can become like this. Then when you are on the fifth floor, you must be careful. Although you have helpers, But the opponent is more powerful, so you don’t have to fight hard, you can see the last memory by activating the altar, and you will naturally go out at that time. "

"With all the inner demons gone, Wuxiang will naturally realize that he did something wrong. Unfortunately, I can't remind him. Everything depends on you, the donor."

Master Mercy's figure suddenly became blurry at this time, and his voice even became vague.

"Bring the statue on the table. If Wuxiang sinks too deep, show him this and he will wake up. But don't give it to him until the end."

After Master Mercy said the last words, his entire body turned into a ball of blue crystal, with two similarly blue crystal fragments floating next to it.

"Master Compassion, didn't he forcibly break out of Master Wuxiang's memory and wait here specially for someone who can help Wuxiang?" At this time, Xiaoying suddenly thought of something and said with a horrified expression.

"Maybe!" Gu Zheng also said solemnly.

In my memory, the cultivation of this compassionate master was not very high, and he was only in the middle stage of Daluo when he taught Wuxiang, but this magical power far exceeded his own level.

No wonder some people say that Taoism cultivates life by defying nature and changing life. That is the core idea. No one can leave the essence of the practice, but Buddhism cultivates the heart.

It is said that with each level of mental training, there is a chance of realizing a great magical power. The power is really unimaginable.

Perhaps Master Mercy's own realm has long transcended his own cultivation, and he has no regard for life and death.

"Then do we want to take a look? I feel that after we trigger it, the people below will have to leave here forcibly and go to the fifth floor above." Xiaoying looked at Gu Zheng and asked for his opinion.

"Has Master Wuxiang ever told you what the upper four floors are?" Gu Zheng suddenly asked at this time.

"I once mentioned that there seems to be some evil demon suppressed in it. It should be the demon suppressed by the magic circle from my memory." Xiaoying thought carefully before saying.

"Well, after Master Mercy blocked the blow for Wu Xiang, what did you see after that?" Gu Zheng looked at the memory crystal in front of him. He did not grab it, but came to the table. A lifelike little The statue is erected there.

The warm smile on his face was as if the Master of Mercy was in front of him.

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Zheng put the statue away. It seemed that this was just a small object carved from ordinary wood, with no power at all inside.

"Master Mercy, although he was fatally injured, he did not lose the power to resist. Not only did he kill the evil demon, he then burned his own soul and continued to preside over the formation. However, in the end he still fell short and failed to completely block the place. , before he died, he asked Master Wuxiang to seal this place to fulfill his last wish, and Master Wuxiang also left there. "

When Gu Zheng stepped forward, Xiaoying quickly briefly explained what she knew later, letting Gu Zheng know what was going on.

"Then let's get ready to take a look. I don't know what enemies are up there. How about you enter the scroll first?" Gu Zheng took out the scroll and said to Xiaoying.

"Okay!" Xiaoying also heard Master Mercy's warning. She must be careful even in ancient battles. There must be dangers everywhere, so she should go in to save herself from the trouble.

However, the light blooming on the scroll only flashed, and the next moment it returned to calm, leaving Xiaoying who didn't know what was going on.

"This place is sealed. It seems you have to stay with me. Be careful!" Gu Zheng put away the scroll with an expressionless face and said solemnly to Xiaoying.

But he was not too worried. As long as it was not an absolute danger, Gu Zheng had great confidence to get Xiaoying out.

Seeing Xiaoying nod, Gu Zheng put away the two memory fragments, and then stretched out his hand to grab the blue ball in front of him.

As soon as Gu Zheng's palm touched it, the blue ball suddenly exploded into blue light spots all over the sky, floating around and finally attached to the surface of everything in the room.

A strange wave suddenly rose in the air, and the whole house trembled slightly. Everything began to shrink, and the chairs and beds slowly merged into the walls next to them.

Gu Zheng and Xiaoying sat quietly on the ground, letting the room gradually shrink and take them to an unknown place.

In an endless sea of ​​sand, in a very simple temple, there was only a circle of walls surrounding the few buildings inside.

In the only hall, a kind-looking fish demon sat quietly, slowly turning the Buddhist beads in his hand, but it looked very strenuous, because the palm was not as flexible as that of a human, and the previous owner of this string of Buddhist beads was a human.

"Haha, it's really funny, I didn't expect that a monster who learned sorcery would actually practice Buddhism, hahaha!"

The faint peaceful atmosphere was broken by a monster that broke in. A big and strong ape with thorns all over his body walked in from outside and laughed at this scene.

However, the fish demon still closed his eyes and ignored the other party. He still stayed in the same place quietly, listening carefully. It seemed that the Buddha's words kept coming out of his mouth, which seemed to be the Qingxin Mantra taught by Master Cibei.

"Why, even your temperament has changed?" The ape came with bad intentions and said fiercely, but the other party ignored it at all, and even the fluctuations on his body did not move, as if there was a pile of air in front of him.

"You know how much I paid to seek revenge on you. I didn't expect you to hide here. If I hadn't heard from the people in the distant town that there was a gentleman monk who actually accepted a monster as his apprentice, I wouldn't have looked for you here." The ape continued to laugh.

At this time, Wuxiang's movements suddenly stopped and he suddenly raised his head. The pair of eyes, one red and one black, startled the ape.

"Say it again, my master is a famous master far and wide. How can you insult him like this?"

"I think you are stupid. The master really converted you, a monster, when he saw you, and you can still be his disciple. You are really a nest of snakes and rats. I guess you two are plotting something shameful." The ape here was bold in his heart, and took advantage of disrupting the other party's mind. Before he finished speaking, he attacked the other party directly.

"No one can blaspheme my master!"

An angry shout burst out from Wuxiang's mouth, and at the same time a black air suddenly swept out from him, instantly surrounding the ape in front of him.

"I'm not afraid of this trick. I'm going to smash your head to avenge the previous humiliation." The originally confident voice suddenly became terrified.

"What is this?"

The black group turned and ran outside, but after only a few steps, the whole body was motionless in the air. As an unknown gust of wind suddenly blew, the original ape suddenly turned into a black fish monster.

Wuxiang's inner demon finally appeared.

"You are finally willing to let me out. Haha, believe me, you will never make a mistake."

"Don't talk nonsense to me. Tell me the way you said that can make me become a human body quickly, otherwise I mind to kill you immediately!" Wuxiang's eyes also returned to normal at this time, waiting for the inner demon in front of him to say, and the hostility on his body seemed to disappear with the incarnation of the inner demon.

"Of course I know, but I also told you the consequences, don't blame me when the time comes." The Wuxiang inner demon only appeared at this time, and it was still very weak at this time. Seeing the Buddha's light in the Buddha's beads in Wuxiang's hand, he immediately said.

"Of course I know. Do I need a nine-story pagoda? I am willing. Only in this way can I gather some people to help the master fulfill his wish!" Wuxiang stood up from the ground and walked outside.

After leaving the door, it seemed as if he had come to a cave, and a human skeleton that had been dead for a long time was lying on the ground.

The young Wuxiang, who had turned into a human body, was quietly chanting the mantra of rebirth. After a long time, he waved his sleeves, and a black smoke came out of his body, turning into the heart demon Wuxiang in the same human body.

The heart demon looked at the skeleton below, opened his mouth, and a black light hit the skeleton. When he came back again, the skeleton on the ground had disappeared.

"It's really delicious, but fresh ones are more delicious. I'm just talking. Why are you so excited!" As soon as the heart demon opened his mouth, he felt a Buddhist force surging around him, and said hurriedly.

This damn body, turned into a human cultivation and broke through the Golden Immortal shackles. If I had known, I would have come out later, and I would have been promoted. Now I have no power to resist.

"I've worked hard to find these lonely souls and bones for you, don't be dissatisfied." Wuxiang dispersed the Buddha's power in his hand.

"I'm not saying, when will you gather enough popularity if you keep looking for people like this? Look at your temple, it's not gorgeous and built in the desert. Ghosts are willing to come. Why don't you refer to the advice and fulfill your master's wish as soon as possible." The inner demon rolled his eyes and said immediately.

"You know, the seal below doesn't matter at all, it will be broken sooner or later."

Wu Xiang thought carefully for a while, and then said carefully.

"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

"Isn't it better this way? The birth, aging, sickness and death of mortals are enough to maintain your human form. When you completely fulfill your master's last wish, the huge amount of merit will be enough for you to remain human forever, and I can also take off my skin and be truly independent!"

The inner demon seemed to know Wu Xiang's desire in his heart, and said carefully again. After seeing the determination in Wu Xiang's eyes, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The scene turned again, Wu Xiang flew in the sky, looking at the desert city that had taken shape below, and nodded slightly.

"Master, I will definitely not let you down!"
