Chapter 224 Holy Monk
Chu Xiu looked at the short and fat monk in front of him.
This person gave him a very strange feeling. In him, aging and vitality coexisted, just like.
It was like a decayed body was forcibly injected with a large amount of vitality to barely drive this aging body.
Retracting his gaze, Chu Xiu said calmly: "The end of the world is coming, and the paradise will be completely destroyed. The only way for the people here to survive is to leave this place."
"I came here this time to find a way to allow all 20,000 residents to evacuate safely."
As soon as Chu Xiu finished speaking, whispers immediately sounded at the scene. Several elders looked at each other, and doubts appeared on their faces.
Only the great elder remained calm, and just said calmly: "Excuse me, how did you get this news? Who are you, and how can we ensure that what you said is true?"
Faced with the questioning of the great elder, Chu Xiu just raised his eyes slightly and looked behind him.
There, the third elder, whose bones were all broken, sat in a wheelchair, looking at Chu Xiu with hatred and fear.
But Chu Xiu just said nonchalantly: "With my strength, I can completely destroy Buddhism, why lie?"
After that, the faces of several elders showed anger, but after looking at the third elder who couldn't even move at this moment, they held back.
The elder said: "Your strength is indeed amazing, but our Buddhism also has the Eighteen Arhats and the Four Vajra guarding. We have lived here for thousands of years. How can the whole clan move because of your family's words?"
The words of the elder made the other elders show their approval on their faces, and they all echoed.
This made Chu Xiu frown slightly, but he was prepared and gave a look to the Buddhist supervisor beside him.
The latter understood and handed the elder something.
It was a device similar to a video recorder. After turning it on, a video was played.
In the picture, there is a mighty army of hungry ghosts, and then Chu Xiu stepped forward and fought against Yaksha and hungry ghosts.
It can be seen that the photographer was shooting from the watchtower. Although the picture is not very clear due to the distance, the general situation of the battlefield can still be seen clearly.
When the elders saw the dense tide of hungry ghosts, they were already shocked. When they saw the two thousand upper hungry ghosts floating in the sky, they widened their eyes in disbelief!
They are just high above, not fools who don’t understand the world. In fact, each elder is responsible for certain affairs, and their long lifespan makes them have a deep understanding of everything.
Even in historical records, double-digit upper hungry ghosts are already a doomsday disaster, and Buddhist forces need to be deployed to guard, otherwise it is easy to cause a rout on the front line!
But these two thousand upper hungry ghosts?
I am afraid that even if the Eighteen Arhats and the Four Vajra are all deployed, they can’t resist!
The subsequent battle almost made the eyes of the elders pop out!
Among these upper-level hungry ghosts, there are even more terrifying general-level and king-level hungry ghosts! The power of the hungry ghost leader is incredible, and he can definitely destroy the King Kong easily!
However, such a terrifying army of hungry ghosts was blocked by Chu Xiu alone and slaughtered!
Looking at the figure who was walking like the god of death, and every knife he swung was as easy as killing chickens and dogs to kill hundreds of upper-level hungry ghosts, the elders were completely stunned.
The resentment in the eyes of the three elders disappeared at this time, and only fear and terror were left. At this time, he completely understood the huge gap between himself and Chu Xiu, which was like a chasm. If the other party really wanted to kill him, it would be no different from pinching an ant to death!
However, if his bones were broken, he could slowly recover with the help of Buddhist techniques in the future, which was already a great mercy.
In the end, the battle between Chu Xiu and Yaksha also made the elders completely give up the idea of resistance.
That kind of high-intensity confrontation is definitely not something that King Kong and Arhat are qualified to participate in. These sculptures that are like gods in front of ordinary people are no different from clumsy turtles in front of Chu Xiu.
It was not until this moment that they fully understood the value of Chu Xiu's words "Why should I lie?"
Without saying anything more, the elder nodded and said, "We will try our best to cooperate with your actions, but only the holy monk knows the secrets of the composition of this place and how to leave, and only the holy monk can control the dragon, so we still need to report to the holy monk."
"However, the holy monk announced a few months ago that he would retreat and not see anyone. We also sent people to see the holy monk before, but we didn't get a reply."
The elder's words made Chu Xiu's heart move slightly.
It seems that the time when this holy monk retreated is when the power of the abyss is strengthened?
Could this holy monk also be related to the Eight Divisions?
In fact, Chu Xiu had always speculated about this before, because the first-ranked celestial being among the Eight Divisions never showed up.
It is possible that the celestial being is related to the holy monk, or even that the celestial being is the holy monk.
However, according to the records in the classics, the strength of the holy monk does not seem to be particularly strong, so Chu Xiu did not pay too much attention to it.
But now that I think about it, the strength of the other eight tribes also grew rapidly after the abyss descended. Yaksha once said that his strength increased more than ten times in just a few months.
Is it possible that the ruler of this paradise is the celestial being ranked first among the eight tribes?
But if he is a celestial being, what is his purpose? Why has he been in seclusion all the time?
Chu Xiu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and just said: "It's an urgent matter. Please ask the great elder to let me meet the holy monk in person."
The great elder exchanged opinions with several other elders, and knew that the matter was urgent, so he did not shirk: "I would like to ask you to come with me, but it is not up to me to decide whether the holy monk wants to see you."
Chu Xiu nodded. Next, Liang Zhan and others stayed in the lobby. Only the elder took Chu Xiu and walked towards the pagoda.
As we get closer and closer to the pagoda, the bodies of the four Vajras become clearer and clearer. These four twenty-meter-tall behemoths with ferocious faces exude an aura of oppression. They lower their heads and stare angrily. It’s daunting.
"The holy monk is at the top of the pagoda, and the rest of the way is up to you."
The great elder pushed open the door of the pagoda for Chu Xiu, then stood aside and did not dare to approach, as if he was quite afraid of the inside of the pagoda.
Chu Xiu didn't force himself and just stepped into the pagoda.
The interior of the pagoda is dark and lightless. Unlike the magnificent Buddhist hall, there is no decoration inside the pagoda. There are only bricks stacked layer by layer. You can even wipe off a finger of dust when you touch it.
In the middle of the pagoda was a staircase leading to the top. Chu Xiu didn't waste any time and walked up quickly. He reached the top in a short time.
It looks like a small temple. At the end is a six-meter-high golden Buddha statue. In front of the Buddha statue is an offering table with an incense burner on it. Three tribute incense sticks are burning in the burner. In front of the offering table, a man wearing a cassock sits cross-legged. The figure was motionless with his back to Chu Xiu, and his face could not be seen clearly.
"My dear Chu Xiu, I came to visit the holy monk this time because I have important matters to discuss." Chu Xiu saluted and said loudly.
However, as his words fell, the figure with its back to him remained motionless, as if he didn't hear it at all.
Chu Xiu frowned slightly and repeated it again with a louder voice, but the figure still didn't react at all.
Chu Xiu realized something was wrong and strode forward. When he came to the figure, his pupils shrank slightly!
But under the cassock, there was only a piece of human skin left!
The human skin was like clothes held up by clothes racks, held up only by two simple wooden sticks. However, there was no sign of decay at all. Instead, the skin and flesh were full and lifelike, and the blood vessels and meridians were clearly visible!
"this"
Before Chu Xiu could react, the huge Buddha statue behind him suddenly began to bleed black blood. His nose, mouth, ears, and eyes were all filled with thick, dark blood!
The alarm bell rang in Chu Xiu's heart. Without any hesitation, he held the perfect sword in his hand and turned around to chop at the Buddha statue!
However, when he slashed the Buddha statue with the knife, there was an extremely strange feeling in his hand, as if he was cutting on a ball of empty cotton. And from the wound where the Buddha statue was cut, a large ball of jet black ink spurted out. of smoke! The smoke transformed into the shape of hungry ghosts in the air and rushed towards Chu Xiu!
"court death!"
Chu Xiu snorted coldly, and the energy in his body poured into the long knife. Suddenly, the brilliant light of the knife lit up around him, cutting off all the hungry ghosts in the smoke, but something strange happened. The hungry ghosts who were cut off did not die. Instead, it split into two identical ones and rushed towards Chu Xiu again!
Chu Xiu was startled and kept swinging the long knife to protect himself from the air. But how could the fastest knife cut through the smoke? Soon, the constantly dividing smoke hungry ghosts densely surrounded Chu Xiu in the center.
Realizing that something was wrong, Chu Xiu made a quick decision and struck out with a palm towards the wall, preparing to break the pagoda and escape to the outside world. However, at this moment, the huge Buddha statue once again sprayed out a black mist. In an instant, Chu Xiu felt an extremely evil feeling. The darkest cold aura enveloped the whole body. This aura was like a gathering of evil thoughts in the world, gathering countless negative energy.
Chu Xiu couldn't even resist, and all his life force was drained out in an instant.
"Crack."
His stiff and bloodless body fell to the ground and broke into countless pieces.
At the same moment, Chu Xiu, who was on the front line, opened his eyes, with a hint of horror flashing in his eyes.
"What kind of magical power is this?"
The moment he came into contact with the black mist, he felt that he was surrounded by countless evil thoughts, as if he had witnessed thousands of human tragedies in an instant, and then all his life force was drained away without the slightest ability to resist.
"This seems to be some kind of spiritual attack, but it is extremely special!"
Chu Xiu had never seen similar attack methods before, and his expression suddenly became serious.
Although the blood demon clone was not strong and had no legendary equipment to protect him, Chu Xiu was still shocked that he could not even resist for a moment before being completely destroyed.
"The thing that lives in the pagoda is completely opposite to the sacred and majestic Buddha. It is some kind of extremely evil existence."
"Where did the legendary holy monk go? Is it the human skin that was sucked dry? Or is it some kind of evil existence? What is that weird Buddha statue?"
Many questions appeared in Chu Xiu's mind, but he quickly put them down. There was no point in thinking randomly in the absence of information.
But he accurately captured one fact.
"I'm afraid it's not possible to get what I need by peaceful means."
Obviously, there was such a weird and evil being living at the top of the pagoda, and it launched an attack on Chu Xiu without any communication. It was impossible for Chu Xiu to ask for the information he needed through negotiation.
But at this moment, a figure hurried over, but it was Ling Feiyu.
After sending the Blood Demon Distractor to the Guard City, Ling Feiyu returned to the front line alone, carrying a communicator with him for communication purposes.
"Sir! The guards stationed nearby summoned General Liang and the supervisory envoy and were detained by the Buddhists!"
"Furthermore, the entire Buddhist temple suddenly activated a grand formation, completely sealing it off from the inside. The Eighteen Arhats and the Four Vajras were also activated, and no one was allowed to enter or leave!"
Buddhism's sudden backlash made Chu Xiu frown again, feeling that things were getting more and more complicated.
He currently has too little information to figure out exactly what is going on.
However, he had a rough idea of how to act next.
The more complex the situation, the more it is necessary to use a method to break it.
That is to use absolute violence to break everything!
Like to play intrigue? I'll flip the table over!
Don't want to communicate? Once you’re convinced, you’ll be willing to say anything!
When Chu Xiu grabbed the strange Buddha statue and cut it into ten and eight sections, he didn't believe that the other party would remain silent.
Obtaining intelligence, logical analysis, and testing and guessing are not suitable for Chu Xiu now. Due to the restrictions of the killing mode, he must complete the trial as soon as possible.
But problems also arise.
"If you want to suppress it with absolute power, my body must leave, and then there will be no one to guard the front line."
"If Asura and the others are allowed in, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to complete the level perfectly."
King-level combat power is like a god to ordinary people. If a conflict breaks out in a crowded place, hundreds of people may die in the aftermath of the battle!
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu couldn't help but have a headache. The final difficulty level itself was extremely difficult, and it was even more difficult to pass it perfectly. With Chu Xiu now having so many trump cards, he felt a little weak.
"Hehe, Lord, you can go back with peace of mind. Just leave this place to the villain alone." Rasputin, an old monster, saw Chu Xiu's entanglement at the right time and advised him.
"We blood demons originally rely on life as our strength. There is so much life energy replenished here. Even if the Asuras and Garudas come together, I am confident that I will beat the shit out of them! I will never let them cross this place. !”
Rasputin promised emphatically.
Chu Xiu glanced at him sideways, completely reasonable.
Seeing his appearance, Rasputin also slumped down like a deflated rubber ball and cried: "My lord! Don't you have so little trust in me? If you don't want me to leave your side, then Who is guarding the front line? Is it possible that you plan to use the evidence from the past?"
Chu Xiu still didn't reply. The Witness of the Past is like a universal wishing machine. Chu Xiu can use it to enhance his own power, allow him to teleport himself thousands of miles away instantly, and even use it to create a short period of time. A clone whose combat power is comparable to his own.
However, using the Certificate of the Past will cause the level of the Past to drop, and the final rewards you can obtain will also be greatly reduced. It is a trump card that will only be used when forced into a desperate situation.
Seeing that Chu Xiu remained silent, Rasputin continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You don't want to do this or that. How can there be so many good things that have the best of both worlds in this world?"
"If you ask me, you can either give me more trust, or just let Asura in. There is a high probability that more people will die, but as long as the mission is completed, that's fine, right?"
"Lord, you believe me. My loyalty to you can be seen day by day. If you leave the matter to me, I will definitely handle it for you."
Looking at the chattering Rasputin, Chu Xiu couldn't help but laugh.
Like a shark that smelled blood, this guy keenly seized the opportunity to temporarily get rid of Chu Xiu, so he tried his best to persuade him.
but
"Rasputin, you are wrong. In fact, I have another choice." Chu Xiu said with a smile.
Rasputin was stunned: "What do you think, Lord?"
Chu Xiu said leisurely: "It's very simple. Since we can't leave because of Asura, can't we just take the initiative and kill Asura and the others?"
