"It's been so many years, and we can actually see a real person." Although the immortal's voice was very soft, Gu Jiu could still hear the other party's fluctuating emotions.
Gu Jiu had never seen the so-called "remnant soul", but Gu Xiaoxiao had.
In the nearly collapsed temple in Miaojiang, the true Buddha's incarnation relied on a wisp of residual soul to allow her to obtain the inheritance.
Gu Jiu said: "Did you find the Sea of Bitterness?"
"Sea of Bitterness?" the immortal's flesh body asked in confusion.
Gu Jiu thought about it. This Bitter Sea was named later. Naturally, the immortals and Buddhas who fell here didn’t know about it. He could only change the description to say: “It is the new continent you are looking for.”
The immortal's remaining soul said calmly, "We have traveled a lot, and many fellow Taoists have died. We have found some land suitable for human survival, but it was too small.
We were disheartened at first. The team that was quite lively when we set out became scattered and most of us were killed or wounded.
Finally, we arrived at this bottomless place.
This is the place we never want to face because it is too scary.
At that time, the Buddha was standing on the edge of a cliff and said that beneath the boundless darkness, there was a faint flow of vitality, which showed that everything would turn into its opposite when it reached its extreme.
So we decided to give it a try. The companions we sent out came back a few days later and said that there was a cave entrance about three thousand feet below, and outside the cave entrance was a huge paradise.
We were so happy at that time that we naturally wanted to go and see the results of our years of hard work.
But we soon discovered that even if there was a real paradise below, ordinary humans would never be able to reach it.
Because this abyss can be called a place of 'great terror', just the negative energy and the evil spirits that have existed for who knows how many years have caused us great pain.
Many fellow Taoists with weaker cultivation bases couldn't bear it, let alone ordinary mortals.
It was then that we encountered the awakened monster. Aside from some of our fellow Daoists who escaped, many perished in the abyss, and we were among those who were devoured."
After hearing this story, Gu Jiu knew that the entrance three thousand feet below the abyss was probably the passage leading to the Sea of Bitterness.
As for the rest of the story, he naturally knew it.
There is topaz in the Sea of Bitterness, which can be made into a star ship to resist the terrible evil creatures in the abyss and the underworld.
It was only many years later that a star ship arrived in the Tang Kingdom and brought this news.
Perhaps the map he had was not half complete, but was missing a very important part, which was the description of the Ghost Abyss.
The man was on the verge of death and was extremely weak. He didn't notice that the map was incomplete.
This abyss is the end of the utmost evil and darkness, but also the starting point for new life. This is why the surviving immortals and Buddhas named that place "Sea of Bitterness".
Thousands of years have changed a lot of things.
The underworld at that time was probably even more terrifying and unpredictable than it is now. Day by day, it was truly chaotic. Otherwise, he could have reached here. Why did those immortals and Buddhas suffer heavy losses before arriving here?
No, the reason he was able to get here was because he had a map in his hand. This dark world is vast and boundless, and there must be even greater risks hidden.
He gained such convenience simply by standing on the shoulders of his predecessors.
Gu Jiu looked at the corpses of the immortals and Buddhas, bowed, and said, "I came here to find the Peach Blossom Land."
At this moment, the immortal couldn't help but sigh and said, "Is that world finally doomed?"
Gu Jiu nodded and said, "It's full of holes."
Then he suddenly frowned and said, "I've always felt that this place is very strange, but I can't put my finger on it."
The immortal said calmly, "We only discovered later that the time and space here are different from those outside."
"What do you mean?" Gu Jiu suddenly became nervous.
"One day here is probably equivalent to dozens of days outside. When we were trapped by this monster, we thought we still had a chance to escape, but later we found that our bodies were beginning to melt away."
After hearing this answer, Gu Jiu felt a little tricky and asked, "Then is it possible for me to get out?"
The immortal said, "You still have a chance, because you can still light a fire here. This inner cavity isn't scary, but the thing within the flesh wall is truly evil. We all failed when we tried to break through the wall and leave, but one guy succeeded, all because of what's in your shoulder."
"Fire Phoenix?" Gu Jiu asked doubtfully.
"Yes, it can buy you a certain amount of time. Whether you can get out by then depends entirely on your own luck. We don't have that luck anyway.
It's this obsession that's sustained us all these years, but obsession eventually has its end. Young man, go on. I vaguely smell some of the spirit of fellow Daoists in you. Though they've fallen, their obsession remains. I'm afraid you're the cause they planted. Buddhism and Taoism may differ, but both emphasize cause and effect, fate. Your arrival here is both fate and cause."
As the words drifted further and further away, Gu Jiu felt as if they were talking to him in the sky.
After saying these words, these bodies suddenly collapsed.
Looking at these gradually disappearing bodies, Gu Jiu bowed to them with a solemn expression. He had just heard the theory of cause and effect and the voice of fate.
In a closed valley, as long as you shout loudly, there will be an echo, and he is the echo of those fallen immortals and Buddhas.
Some things are destined to be completed by him.
But those immortals and Buddhas who were obsessed with it probably didn't expect him to be so lazy?
I'm not lazy anymore, I'm not lazy anymore, I haven't been lazy for a long time!
As he spoke, Gu Jiu set his gaze on the side of the cave wall, and the Haoyu Sword in his hand began to hum.
The gears of fate have turned?
Chapter 87 I See Me
As the Haoyu Sword hummed, the Phoenix Fire on Gu Jiu's arm also became more intense.
There was no fire here originally, but there was fire since Gu Jiu arrived.
There was no road here originally, but now that he's here, there should be one!
He is going out to complete the unfinished business of the immortals and Buddhas!
Open the mountain!
Gu Jiu raised his sword and jumped up. His back muscles tensed in an instant, forming a line full of power, and then he slashed down with the sword!
He roared as he slashed down, and the sword in his hand slashed down like an axe chopping a mountain, with great force and power.
Although this sword was still a "mountain-splitting" sword, it could be seen from his clenched teeth that he definitely used a lot of force.
With a bang, the sword energy roared out, the ground cracked inch by inch, and attacked the seemingly endless flesh wall.
Click, click, click...
The sword energy was like a surging wave, not powerful, but with a more concentrated force, tearing directly through the overlapping vines.
Those vines that were surging like blood vessels were crushed in an instant, juice splashed everywhere, and the flesh wall behind was also broken, forming a very deep cut.
Immediately afterwards, rumbling sounds rang out one after another.
Gu Jiu slashed out four more times with the "opening of the mountain" technique, and the sword energy followed one after another with astonishing momentum.
At this moment, hot steam was coming out of his whole body, as if he was burning.
These five consecutive sword strikes can be said to have already reached the limit of human strength.
For a moment, the sword light was still not majestic, but it was condensed and had strong penetrating power. It followed one after another, as if endless.
Rumble, the thick flesh wall was torn open, forming a passage wide enough for one person to pass through, while the sword energy from behind continued to attack like a wave.
At this time, Gu Jiu came riding on the waves.
He stepped on the sword energy he had created, with fire in one hand and a white feather sword in the other, riding the wind and waves.
Such a speed is naturally considered extremely fast. The hair is pulled into a straight line, and in this dark place it looks like a stream of fire.
The scene inside the flesh wall flashed rapidly in his eyes and was very blurry.
The immortal Buddha said that there was a great terror hidden in there, and he didn't know what it was. Now he just wanted to rush out in one go, kill the ghosts that stood in his way, and kill the gods that stood in his way!
The sword energy in front was still rushing around, and Gu Jiu stepped on the sword energy and slashed out again.
This seemingly unbreakable flesh wall was now torn as easily as paper.
But the next moment, Gu Jiu only felt a ripple-like wave light up in front of him, and then in a flash, the surrounding scene had changed.
He came to a temple, as if he had suddenly entered another time and space.
This feeling was like falling into the gap between time and space in a science fiction novel he had read before.
There are a few green lanterns scattered in the temple, illuminating the surrounding scenery.
There were rows of sculptures of immortals and Buddhas, but for some reason they were painted with a layer of bright red paint, as if they had been bathed in blood, so their faces looked particularly terrifying.
They stood there, looking a little exaggerated, without any solemnity.
Gu Jiu even felt that they were more like evil spirits, their eyes filled with the most primitive desire - to eat people.
Yes, they may be angry or laughing, kind or ferocious, but their eyes are filled with the desire to eat people.
Gu Jiu just felt that the scene looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
And he remembered someone.
Xi Yu.
There was once a room in Xi Yu's underground space with the words "want to eat people" written all over it. Was she like these sculptures, unable to control her desires?
How are immortals and Buddhas related to cannibalism?
This temple is very deep, as if there is no end.
Gu Jiu walked among these gazes filled with terrible desires, his expression very solemn.
These red-painted sculptures of immortals and Buddhas are really too weird.
Could it be that the great horror that the immortals and Buddhas mentioned before is this temple that suddenly appeared?
The green lamp had reached its end at this time, and there was darkness ahead, like an endless quagmire. Only Gu Jiu's arm was still burning with flames, and visibility was very low.
He looked back at the strange-looking sculptures and found that they were all looking at him as if they were burying a dead person.
At this moment, Gu Jiu suddenly realized that he had had a similar dream before.
Green lanterns, ancient temples, sculptures of immortals and Buddhas painted with bright red paint, and the somewhat exaggerated expressions on the sculptures.
But at that time he didn't notice the emotions in the eyes of these statues.
How can a statue have emotions?
This can only prove that the statues have become spirits, or that they are not statues at all, but immortals and Buddhas themselves?
At this moment, Gu Jiu's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and he felt something approaching him.
He wanted to recall what happened after the dream, but he couldn't.
He stood there in a daze, feeling the chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The unknown is the root of human fear.
But this kind of unknown that seems to have been seen before but cannot be remembered at the moment makes people feel more frightened.
At least that's how Gu Jiu is now.
Just like an object is covered with a layer of gauze, the moment when a girl crying in the middle of the night is about to turn her head is the most terrifying.
Gu Jiu stood there, the flame on his arm burning fiercely, but he felt lonely.
No, it's not like that!
Gu Jiu soon discovered something strange, that is, after entering this space, his mood was greatly affected.
Although he has the personality of a homebody, he is a person who is afraid of being alone.
So he liked Qingliu Academy, liked that small courtyard, and liked having someone to accompany him when he dozed off.
Now he was standing here alone, without even seeing his shadow, and naturally he felt lonely.
Yes, even the fox and the donkey are not around.
And this space was obviously trying to drag him into this emotion.
So he patted the fire phoenix pattern on his arm, hoping that the other party would come out to make some noise and ease the atmosphere, but the turkey obviously had no intention of coming out.
At this moment, a pair of huge eyes lit up in the darkness.
The eyes were gray, like two moons hanging in the sky, but without much light, leaving only a rough surface, silently staring at Gu Jiu.
When Gu Jiu looked at those eyes, goosebumps appeared all over his body.
Those eyes were so cold and so unfamiliar, but he knew he had seen them before.
