I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 49: Since you have seen the swallowing sun, why not bow?
Five hundred small merits!

Five hundred! !

Zhou Mu's mind suddenly became clear, and he was extremely surprised to realize that the old ghost holding him was completely dead.

How could this old ghost be worthy of five hundred small merits?

You know, the merit gained from killing a living being is based on the other party's sins. This old ghost said that he had eaten 317 living people alive.
But it was far from five hundred. Zhou Mu's previous guess that merit was given according to the number of people killed by the monster seemed to be wrong.
However, this old ghost's strength has already surpassed that of an ordinary master. If nothing unexpected happens, he is probably the leader of a large semi-demon force.

Will the evil committed by a half-demon force be shared by its master?
Zhou Mu speculated, but quickly suppressed these thoughts - the reason was simple, the water of the Ten Thousand People River was eroding him.

The river water entered through every hole, drilling into the skin, flesh, and internal organs, "killing" Zhou Mu moment by moment.

It's not corrosion or erosion, it's simply "killing", strangling all life activities.

If it weren't for the river water killing some of it and the medicine restoring some of it, Zhou Mu would have died like that old ghost.

but.

Zhou Mu could sense that his body was becoming stronger and stronger after being destroyed and healed again and again.

Even the bones had turned into a delicate jade color, extremely translucent.

"Can destruction, ruin, and then rebirth make us stronger?"

Zhou Mu was thoughtful, feeling the medicinal power in his body being rapidly consumed by the "killing" of the river water. He did not dare to delay and immediately took out two more healing pills, allowing them to appear directly in his stomach and be digested directly.

There are still eight hundred and ninety-nine small merits left.

The excitement in Zhou Mu's heart gradually faded away - it was too cold and too painful.

The body dies every moment, and is reborn every moment,
But the great pain between death and rebirth is no less,

He groaned involuntarily, but it did not cause any ripples in the dead silence of the river. He could not use any strength in his body, and he just kept falling, falling.
The river seems to have no bottom.

"We can't go on like this! The water in this river is too weird and the medicinal power is depleting too quickly!"

"I can't fully utilize the healing pills. At most half of the medicinal power of each pill can be used on me, and the rest is lost!"

Zhou Mu quickly estimated that one healing pill could only last for half an hour. Although his body was getting stronger and tougher during the destruction and rebirth,

But this is such a loss!
One pill is equivalent to ten points of merit!

and many more.

Zhou Mu's heart moved. The river water was designed to "kill" all living things, but it would not destroy dead things - for example, the corpse of the old ghost was not damaged at all.

Try?

He tried to mobilize the Yin Qi in his body, which was so weak that it couldn't even be combined with Fan the Wind, and let this tiny Yin Qi flow throughout his body.

Suddenly.

The blood stopped flowing, the heart stopped beating, the breathing stopped, and all vital signs disappeared!
And the river water also stopped "killing" the body.

Zhou Mu was like a stubborn stone, but his consciousness was active. He tried to move his arms, which was successful, but he could not float up.

At this moment, I didn't know how long I had been sinking or how far I was from the river surface, until there was no light at all and it was pitch black all around.

An inexplicable fear enveloped Zhou Mu.

"Is this river really bottomless?"

"I'm not going to die alone here, am I?"

He felt bitter in his heart, but he did not give up. He communicated with the blue-black bronze order through his mind, which increased his merit by nearly nine points, but did not yield any additional benefits.

Zhou Mu glanced at these exchangeable objects, wondering if there was any vitality hidden in them, and his eyes finally locked on two things.

One is a lower-grade auspicious cloud worth five points of merit, and the other is a place of enlightenment worth one point of merit.

"If I put all my energy into the Enlightenment Field, I can fully understand the true meaning of the Great Peng Fuyao Diagram, and I will most likely be able to deduce [Ignition] to a small degree, but I'm not sure about [Fanning], I'm afraid I won't be able to improve any further."

"But can these help me escape?"

Zhou Mu didn't think it was feasible. The only variable was the picture of the Dapeng rising up. He could never forget the Dapeng that seemed to have come alive, and he could not forget the glance they had exchanged.

"You can't gamble."

His mind raced:
"I can exchange it for three enlightenment sessions to see if there is a turnaround and whether the true meaning will be moved. If not, I will exchange the remaining five points for the lower-grade auspicious cloud!"

Zhou Mu thought about it again and again, and felt that this seemed to be the only way, but just as he was about to implement it, he felt a tenderness in his skin.

It seemed that as I sank deeper and deeper, the pressure from the river water on all sides became greater and greater.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a huge suction force coming from below, and Zhou Mu's sinking speed increased dramatically. The water pressure became more and more terrifying, more and more terrifying!
"It happened!"

Zhou Mu's face changed, and he stopped sinking at all. The water pressure soon exceeded his limit.

His whole body was compressed into a ball, and his membrane was torn bit by bit!
The extremely fast fall and the terrifying water pressure made it impossible for Zhou Mu to calm down and gain enlightenment! !

It’s not just that you can’t attain enlightenment.

Under the terrifying water pressure, the brain was collapsing, and at this moment, Zhou Mu's mental will appeared and disappeared.
He couldn't even communicate with the Blue-Black Bronze Order.

Zhou Mu was desperate.

The water pressure was still increasing, and the pain was getting more severe each time. It seemed that the jade bones could not bear it and a crack appeared.

Once the water pressure exceeds the upper limit of the jade bones, Zhou Mu will be instantly squeezed into mud, and his brain will be destroyed.
At that time, the huge medicinal power in the body will be useless!
Fall, fall, fall.

It was pitch black all around, without any light, without any sound, and with no bottom.

The feeling of despair grew.

Getting heavier and heavier.

'Om'

On the brink of destruction and death, Zhou Mu's shattered auditory nerves twitched, and he seemed to hear the sound of a piano.

He did hear the sound of a piano.

The next moment, the terrifying water pressure suddenly dissipated, and Zhou Mu, who had almost turned into mud, healed quickly and regained his human form in a moment.

He opened his eyes.

The darkness was dissipating, the feeling of falling was slowing down, and there was light before my eyes.

Suddenly.

He seemed to have passed through a thin layer of bubbles and was no longer wrapped in this strange river water.

At the same time as I felt a tangible touch under my feet, there was also a bright light in front of my eyes and continuous piano sounds!
The overtones are like the sky, the pressed notes are like human beings, and the loose notes are the same as the earth.

The sounds of heaven, earth and man rang in his ears, and Zhou Mu, who had gradually adapted to the harsh gaze, saw everything clearly.

He saw a vast cave and an old man in a pure white cloak sitting in the middle of the cave, playing a zither with faint sounds.

wrong.

Zhou Mu rubbed his eyes and finally saw clearly.

The person playing the piano is not a human.

It's a dog.

It is an old dog with pure white fine hair.

The old dog sat cross-legged like a human, its snow-white, dense, long, fine hair piled up like a cloak, and its hunched paws plucked the strings of a musical instrument.

The music of that song changes constantly, sometimes like a sudden downpour, sometimes like a spring breeze after winter, sometimes it changes into a sad and mournful sound, or sometimes it becomes the wailing of a singing girl.

Zhou Mu's heartstrings were moved along with the strings of the piano.

The sound of the piano suddenly became violent. Just now it was so sad and miserable, like the love between young men and women, but now it had the power to hold up the sky and step on the earth, and it was as majestic as the scorching sun!

When the music is pushed to the peak in the tide of piano sound!
The old dog pressed the seven strings with his paws, and all the sounds stopped there suddenly, as if the sky was silent and the earth was peaceful, as if the violent sun suddenly dispersed and seemed to be swallowed up in one gulp, and all things were dark.

The old white-haired dog slowly turned his head and stared at me.

"A living person?"

It chuckled and looked Zhou Mu up and down.

The latter's heart tightened. At the bottom of this river full of thousands of people, there was actually an old dog who could play the piano!
He suddenly thought of what Sister Bai said.

Under the city of Quanjue, there lived a demon from the ancient times. Because it was friendly to humans, it was sealed here.

Yes. Is that it?
Zhou Mu thought slowly, but saw the old dog slowly stand up, its long, pure white hair fluttering like the wind blowing through thousands of trees.

The old dog stood there, a glimmer of light flashing in his dead eyes. He put his paws behind his back and spoke with interest:
"Little boy, now that you have seen the Sun-Swallowing God, why don't you bow down to him?"
