Chapter 1003: Giant Horseshoe Crab and Human Face Skin
Chapter 1003 The giant horseshoe crab (hòu) insect and the skin of the human face
While watching the reincarnation millstone and the golden pages of the saint's writings constantly clashing with the stone statues of ancient gods, Jin An glanced around with a thoughtful look on his face, but did not step forward to help.
He does have a way to deal with the cause and effect on the stone statue of the ancient god, but that will expose his identity. He has to keep Mo Lao who has disappeared since hiding in the alien space.
So he took advantage of the situation and deliberately showed weakness, making Mr. Mo, who was hiding somewhere and watching them, feel like he was underestimating the enemy.
Fighting with these old people is like trying to get the skin of a tiger. No matter what you do, you have to think twice before taking one step and see three steps ahead.
I don’t know if it’s because the stone statue of the ancient god is too weak and its divinity has been worn away by the years, or because Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan have been famous in the outside world for a long time as strong men in the third realm. The two of them have a place even among the masters of the third realm. position, the two hands worked together to defeat the ancient gods and statues.
In particular, the page of notes from the Taoist saint that Uncle Lin presented overwhelmed the stone statues of ancient gods. It could not bear the weight of the saint's "complete talents and virtues, knowing and doing the best". It was approaching the millstone of reincarnation, and his body was gradually being bitten by the beast. Crush.
The stone statue of the ancient god let out a reluctant roar, and sealed the seal with his hands again. This time, another self split out of his body.
It's just that this split self is completely black, walking around the world like a shadow, and continues to fight and struggle with Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan.
But this still can't change his defeat.
As one of the stone statues of ancient gods was smashed to pieces by golden characters, and Master Jingchan joined forces again, the battle came to an end.
Peng!
The picture in front of me shattered, like a mirror exploding, revealing the real world. The stone statue of the god still fell to the ground and never stood up. The thick dust accumulated on the surface of the stone statue for thousands of years was still there. It had never moved an inch. Instead, it was on the two stars of the stone statue. Behind the eye holes, two pale human faces were lying down at some point. The dark eyes were staring at Jin An and the three of them without blinking.
Um!
Hallucination?
The expressions of the three people changed drastically. What on earth were those two faces in the statue? Are they people? Is it a ghost? is God? Unexpectedly, even the three of them were unknowingly caught in the trick, and no one saw the flaw!
Even the spiritual consciousness of the strong people in the middle stage of the third realm can be deceived, and they are unable to see the truth of the world. What a powerful way to hide the truth!
Precisely because of this, it is even more impossible for him to escape!
When the two pale faces saw that the three people's eyes had regained their clarity, they wanted to hide inside the stone statues again, but Jin An, who was quick to react, gave them no chance. The martial artist's immortal energy and blood were like a furnace, and he punched the stone statue's neck, and the bright and hot blood forced its way into the stone statue's interior.
call out!
call out!
The two human faces that originally wanted to retract into the stone statue were like falling into a hot oil pan, and immediately flew out of the eye socket caves, turning into two white shadows as fast as lightning. If it were ordinary people, The human eye cannot see even phantoms clearly, but Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan are not ordinary people.
The moon disk behind Uncle Lin shook, and the void shook, creating ripples like water waves, which directly pushed Bai Ying back, and successfully caught Bai Ying.
Master Jingchan once again sacrificed the Golden Plate of Reincarnation, and the animal path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation was still opened, sucking Bai Ying in, unable to escape the changes in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Only then did the three of them see clearly what the white shadow was.
It turned out to be two giant horseshoe crabs with human faces.
It's just that the faces here are real faces and cheeky, not an adjective.
I don’t know where these two giant horseshoe crabs peeled off human faces and pasted them on the backs of their carapace, and even used this collapsed statue as their nest.
It is not ruled out that someone deliberately peeled off the human face from the face of a living or dead person and then attached it to the back of a giant horseshoe crab for special purposes.
This is not the first time they have seen this ancient sacrificial technique. They have seen similar techniques in the ruins of the Tianwu Temple before.
"Amitabha, that's good, that's good. No wonder the poor monk's Six Paths of Reincarnation Dharma Plate and the stone statue opened up the path of animals. It turns out that those we were fighting were indeed two animals." Master Jingchan clasped his hands together and figured out the doubts in his mind.
He turned to look at the insect curiously: "What kind of strange insect is this? It looks like an insect but not an insect, like a spider but not a spider, like a crab but not a crab, like a fish but not a fish. There are thousands of strange insects and beasts in the world, but this is still a poor monk. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a weird looking insect.”
Uncle Lin shook his head, he couldn't even tell what kind of insect it was.
In the end, Jin An answered their questions and explained: "These two strange insects are called 'horse crabs'. They are large crab-shaped insects unique to the sea. Master Jingchan really said it right. Their ancestors are indeed related to Spiders and scorpions have something to do with each other.”
"Guixu Divine Realm is located in the bottomless valley of the deep sea. It is both unexpected and reasonable to see giant horseshoe crabs here."
"That's it." After hearing Jin An's explanation, the two of them looked surprised.
Then Master Jingchan looked at Jin'an with a smile and said kindly: "Not only is Taoist Master Chen'an well-informed, Taoist Jin'an has also traveled all over the world like Taoist Chen, and is well-informed. He can even take a first look at this strange insect that we have never heard of." recognize."
The biggest advantage of Jin An is that he can take soft things rather than hard ones. Being praised by Master Jingchan made him feel a little embarrassed. The reason why he knew the giant horseshoe crab had nothing to do with traveling around the world, but to another world. .
Next, the three of them studied the giant horseshoe crab with a human face.
"It's strange to say that this dead ancient temple is stained with cause and effect everywhere, even the collapsed statues and oil lamps on the roadside are stained with cause and effect, but these two animals are clean and not stained with cause and effect." The careful Master Jingchan discovered a detail.
Uncle Lin added: "To be more precise, it is the two human faces on the back of the worm that are stained with cause and effect, and the horseshoe crab itself is spotless."
Dust, in Buddhism, has a cause and effect explanation.
"According to Uncle Lin and Master Jingchan, the reason why these two horseshoe crabs can move freely in the ancient divine palace is related to the human face skin on their backs?"
Jin'an's spirit is active and his thoughts are quick. The more he speaks, the clearer his thoughts become: "These two human face skins that have been stained with karma together with the ancient divine palace have deceived the heavens for them, eliminated disasters and difficulties, and become amulets to protect them? It is precisely because of these two human face skins that the night of the Great Wilderness World will not eat them, because eating them is equivalent to being stained with karma, which is not worth the loss. So they can move freely in the ancient divine palace and in the dark."
It is very simple to verify this conjecture. You can find out by peeling off the human face skin on the back of the worm.
Jin'an broke the limbs and body of the horseshoe crab worm, making them unable to move, and then threw them into a corner of darkness. As a result, just after throwing them out, the worm screamed sharply, and the scream was short and rapid.
When the three of them went over to check again, there was no trace of it anymore. Only a pool of blue liquid was left, which should be the blood and internal organs of the giant horseshoe crab.
