Chapter 91 The tragic truth

This is probably a scene that could make Doraemon die suddenly on the spot.

No one can remain calm after seeing such a scene, not even Li Heng, even though his mental power has been strengthened to the extreme level of a human being.

But within that tenth of a second, a chill caused goosebumps to crawl all over his body, and then he suppressed them with enough concentration.

In an instant, Li Heng's muscles tensed crazily, and explosive power was hidden in his limbs, especially his legs. As long as there was the slightest sign of trouble, he would... run away!

Nonsense! Who the hell wants to go head-to-head with a bunch of tens of thousands of rats?!

He would rather fight a Tyrannosaurus rex than tangle with these things.

And it would make sense to say that Alei Jones panicked and ran away like crazy after witnessing this scene.

A normal person would not panic after seeing this, but his psychological quality would be so bad that he would have a heart attack directly.

But after accumulating power for a few seconds, Li Heng discovered that although the wild and noisy creaking sounds came like a storm wave, those dense red dots did not come close to him.

It seemed that something had restricted their movement, and the imagined flood of rats did not happen immediately.

But these things are not good, just like what the old man said in his story.

"Zhang Mingwu", "Sun Sanhu", "Wang Ping"... and "Zhou Deyang"!

Under this ancient blood pattern and oath, a secret that had been hidden for more than a hundred years was gradually revealed before Li Heng's eyes.

There are countless of them, all of which are similar to last words, and Li Heng also saw some familiar names among these signatures.

However, during the mining process, they were slowly exploring the fissures deep in the Qinling Mountains, extending downward and inward, and finally discovered an extremely strange underground cavity.

The body of the dead believer had a strange bronze color, and his whole body seemed to have solidified into metal.

After hearing that this was a treasure of heaven and earth, some of the believers couldn't wait to drink the Ksitigarbha essence. However, all the believers who did so died suddenly and violently, and their death was miserable and ugly.

………

This [Ksitigarbha Essence] is the place where the energy of the earth gathers, where the vitality of mountains and rivers accumulates. The essence of heaven and earth is generated. The "power of heaven and earth" accumulated over countless years makes rocks turn into milk and the earth's energy condenses into essence. I don't know the process.

It took hundreds of millions of years to gather together such a pool of essence.

Such as purely doctrinal slogans - "The Innocent Old Mother is Above", "Maitreya Blesses", "White Lotus Lives Forever"...

And in this "infinite hell", they accidentally discovered an even more bizarre place.

There are also more practical ones - "Third brother, I will avenge you!", "When I go to the capital, I will take the emperor's dog head", "I will not die, I will definitely succeed"...

In the end, although the giant rats were not exterminated, the Ksitigarbha spirit was finally obtained.

The so-called "Great Immortal" is the "Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal" mentioned on the iron statue.

However, this Ksitigarbha essence has a characteristic, that is, it can only exist in that pool. Once it leaves the pool, it will soon lose its milky color and become transparent, gradually turning into ordinary mountain spring water and losing its effectiveness.

[Iron-armored Bronze Corpse Immortal, a hundred deaths will last a lifetime. If it were for the common people, I would be like this because of the blood seal]

Because their bodies during life will continue to become tough and tough, like armor, and after death, their bodies will solidify like brass, hence the name.

Everywhere here is as dark as blood, just like the endless hell described in Buddhist scriptures.

Only the most core believers can learn the truth and may become new "Great Immortals" through rituals (immersion).

When they retreated to the Qinling Mountains to avoid the main force of the Qing army, they unexpectedly found a cave in the mountains. After investigation, they found that the cave contained a large amount of saltpeter and was a natural fire saltpeter mine!

The Myojin Sect members were overjoyed and immediately settled here. Since they had already been reduced to logistical support, they could safely mine, refine saltpeter, make gunpowder, assist other White Lotus branches, and exchange money and food for maintenance.

On the right side of the round stone is a large iron lump in the shape of a tombstone, with bloody palm prints on it!

And four sentences of criticism were engraved on the iron lump with rough but sharp strokes——

Climbing up the steps, Li Heng came to a high platform, where ancient religious flags were still planted on all sides, as well as the layout of the Eight Precepts and Eight Zen Mirrors in all directions, all of which were deliberately done by the White Lotus Sect.

He continued walking along the steps, ignoring the mountain of rats and the sea of ​​rats on the side, but always deliberately maintained vigilance and distance.

"Pregnant Immortal Lotus Platform, narrow escape from death...is this what it means?"

But there are also some that are well engraved. They not only have their name engraved on them, but they even have a line of words engraved on them. Some are simple and some are complex.

Suddenly, a panic arose within the sect, and the Ksitigarbha spirit instantly changed from a treasure to an ominous object in the eyes of everyone, and the place was banned for a time.

This immortal was not conceived out of thin air, but was transformed from a human being.

Think about it, if all the members of the Myojin Sect could become such invulnerable and powerful "immortals", wouldn't the world be at their fingertips?

But how can things in the world be so simple and easy? They soon discovered that not everyone was as lucky as the first person. Almost all the followers died one after another after being soaked. Their bodies turned black and their skin shrank and dried up like tree bark. It was a miserable sight.

Horrible.

However, human desires and curiosity cannot be contained.

Just like the "immortal" invited to the upper body in folklore, he is no longer a mortal!

With this precedent, subsequent people joined in one after another, all entering the pool to bathe in the Ksitigarbha fairy essence.

Li Heng still couldn't figure out why there was such a huge rat nest deep in the Qinling Mountains, but since it appeared here, it was probably related to the secret of the White Lotus Sect.

In the end, the altar owner, who was knowledgeable and knowledgeable, said that the person inside was the "Ksitigarbha Essence".

I saw all kinds of names signed on them, some were crooked and looked like they were difficult to write, probably because the person who carved them was not very good at writing, and some were half-engraved and only had "Er Gou" and "San Wa" engraved on them.

"Such a name-dropping, even the surname cannot be written smoothly.

In order not to cause panic, the altar owner, elders and other high-level officials concealed the truth about the Iron-armored Bronze Corpse Immortal from the surrounding believers, and only referred to him as "Great Immortal".

It is the product of seizing the creation of heaven and earth and invading the mystery of sun and moon.

Therefore, people can only enter the pool and soak in the Ksitigarbha essence.

Li Heng squinted and looked at the big boulder just now, holding the lamp to check the small words engraved on it.

Looking at the White Lotus Sect scriptures and a large number of secret records left on the altar, Li Heng knew what a "pregnant fairy" was.

Later, the cult members who were immersed in "Ksitigarbha Essence" and did not die immediately were called "Iron-armored Bronze Corpse Immortals".

This frightened the believers again, and what was more frightening was that the first successful person died only about half a year after being "possessed by a great immortal".

This move was indeed effective. The initial soaker experienced extremely miraculous changes after coming out. His body changed rapidly. His muscles became firm and firm, his meridians became stronger, his skin became harder and stronger, and his strength also continued.

Enhanced, until the surface of the body is even as tough as an iron sword and cannot be easily cut.

"This is actually a pleading? Have all those who left the seal here pledged their lives, Iron Armored Bronze Corpse Immortal..."

However, since it is a treasure, it is naturally protected by external objects. There is a huge rat nest around this sperm pool, and there are countless huge gophers living there, which are extremely ferocious. For this reason, the White Lotus Sect has launched many attacks here.

In the "War of Mice and Men", gunpowder was even shipped.

After this series of events, the White Lotus Sect realized that this was not the nectar and jade dew of a fairyland at all.

It seems that it was only here that the White Lotus Sect took off the mask it had been covering up, revealing the ferocious true face of this place.

Then on a large round stone not far away, Li Heng found that the surface of the stone was very round and polished, and it was engraved with countless densely packed small characters, and the fonts were different. Obviously it was not written by one person, but

Carved by many people.

This arrangement shows that this place is an altar, a place filled with death and blood, which is completely different from the so-called breeding of life.

This substance is as thick as soup and as pure white as milk, and does not look like a natural thing at all.

Not long after, another altar leader unblocked this place after taking over, and came up with the idea of ​​[Ksitigarbha Essence] again, but this time he changed the method, instead of taking it directly internally, he changed it to external use.

.

There are also more extreme ones - "Kill, kill, kill, kill!"

This [Mingshen Sect] is one of the many White Lotus branches that was not originally powerful. During the entire uprising, it was once dispersed and defeated by the Qing army. In the end, it was even unable to spare its strength to go to the frontline battlefield and could only provide logistical support to other branches.

.

It was a pool, but what was flowing in the pool was not water, but another substance they didn't recognize at all.

There are also those who are more culturally and nationally spirited - "Now I will die, and the Han will not stop, I will pour over your country, and restore my China!"

The "Knife Mountain", which is also intertwined like sharp teeth, spreads out all the way, forming a half-moon-shaped outline along the dark red rock wall, reflecting the blood-colored luster.

It's just that most people don't have the courage. After all, the probability of death is as high as 90%, and even if it succeeds, the life expectancy will not exceed three years, or even only a few months.

Basically, only those believers who have been deeply brainwashed or those who have a deep hatred against the Qing court will choose to "become an immortal".

Therefore, this forbidden area is called the "Liandai of Pregnant Immortals". A large number of human lives gave birth to an "immortal" who is invincible on the battlefield. Only such an "immortal" can withstand hundreds of imperial guards and carry the body covered with weapons.

With wounds from swords and foreign guns, they fought their way into the Forbidden City and reached the front of the Yangxin Hall.

In other words, this so-called "immortal" is actually just a "death warrior" who can defeat many with one enemy.
