Chapter 51 Taoism becomes immortal
The photo shows a middle-aged woman with shawl hair, a pale complexion, and a bit old. Prince Tong asked me who this person was, and I said I didn't know him, but I must have seen him.
A vague impression appeared in my memory. I remember it seemed that I was in a dark room, with a figure floating in the air, as if praying. There were a few people around her, including old and young, men and women, standing with their hands on their backs and shaking their bodies, as if mourning something.
The woman in the photo in front of me is one of these people.
I picked up the doll and lifted her clothes. Sure enough, there was a string of eight characters written on my belly with bright red paint. I probably understood that the "ghosts" that appeared here need to be saved. They are reminding me not to forget them in various ways. The origin of these ghosts should be the mourning people I saw in that dark room.
I lit the cigarette and inserted it next to the doll. As the blue smoke floated out of the cigarette, it turned out that black smoke came out of the doll's seven orifices, rolled out of thin air and gradually dissipated.
I pulled Prince Tong out of the room and told her about her thoughts. Prince Tong widened her eyes and said, "Uncle, can I say that? In fact, without me, you will come here to save these ghosts."
I was stunned for a moment, thinking that it should be the reason, and nodded.
I came to this strange world, and I really had a purpose, and I should be to save those ghosts. Even without a prince, I could not avoid the arrangement of fate.
Prince Tong frowned and pouted his lips for a while: "Uncle, maybe we are not in the same car, but from different places. For some reason, we come to this world together."
"If I came with a purpose, what about you?" I asked.
"I don't know. Maybe my task is to assist you." She said with a smile.
I shook my head and didn't say anything, just take a look.
We walked around in this maze-shaped hotel, and saved four "ghosts" with eight characters.
There was only the last cigarette left in the cigarette box.
"Zi Tong, guess what will happen if we leave here after we have saved the last ghost," I said.
Prince Tong frowned very cutely and thought: "Uncle, if I were to say it according to my feelings, I don't think it would end so easily. The last ghost is probably more difficult than the ones in front."
"You are such a crow's mouth." I sighed.
We walked for a long time, but still didn't find a lifesaving passage. We sat on the stairs to rest, and we were tired and exhausted. This place didn't even have a saliva. The most important thing is that we couldn't measure the time. The meter stopped and the phone crashed again. As time went by, I felt a little worried, and I felt that time was tight, as if there was a timer strictly limiting our time.
While resting, Prince Tong suddenly touched me and said in panic: "Uncle, listen."
In the dark corridor, I listened with my ears, and footsteps came faintly from downstairs. I pulled her and stood up immediately, and listened again. Sure enough, there were really footsteps. The footsteps were heavy and slow, and I pushed up step by step, getting closer and closer, and walked towards our floor.
I signaled Prince Tong to turn off all the flashlights. The corridor suddenly became dark. We quickly exited the security door of the corridor, hid behind the door, and looked out through the glass.
The steps followed the stairs one step at a time, and soon reached the third floor. Then, without stopping, they began to move up again. In the quiet night, the sound of the old wooden stairs was very harsh. The sound was moving upward, but the speed was extremely slow. The prince boy held my hand tightly, and the palms were wet. We hid behind the glass, so nervous.
At this time, a shadow faintly shook at the corner of the black stairs. I held my breath and looked at it. Under the shadow, something was jumping up. Because it was too dark, I couldn't see clearly what it was, but the thing had two extremely bright eyes. In the darkness, it looked like two glowing gems.
Prince Tong said "ah": "It's a black cat."
As she said, she pushed the door and entered the corridor. I quickly followed behind. It was indeed a black cat, about half a meter long and black all over. Under the light of the flashlight, it shook its black hair and grinned at us, its beard trembling slightly.
Prince Tong wanted to go forward to touch her, so I quickly grabbed her and whispered to not make a fuss. This cat made me feel very uncomfortable.
The black cat bared its teeth and walked slowly over. I pulled Prince Tong to the side and looked at it with all my attention. I was thinking about what to do if it suddenly launched an attack. The cat walked past us, opened the security door, jumped into the door three times and two times. We walked to the door and saw the cat standing in place, with two bright eyes open and staring at us.
Prince Tong said softly: "It seems like let's follow it."
The girl said, pushing the door and going in. The cat turned around and slowly swayed in front. It circled around the corridor, and finally came to a room and jumped into the door. Prince Tong and I followed him in and saw the cat standing on the broken windowsill, looking back at us, and then jumped down. Prince Tong let out a "ah" and pulled me to the window to look out. The black cat had already reached the downstairs, and his figure quickly moved, running towards the ancient building not far away.
This cat was indeed the leader. Outside this window, there was a safety staircase hanging, leading to the ground. The two of us walked out of the window, carefully down the staircase, and arrived at the first floor. At this time, the air was cold, the moonlight was dark, and everything around us looked hazy.
We walked towards the ancient building. The surroundings were black and boundless. Within our reach, only the tall building in front of us could see clearly that the building looked like an ancient tower, with a hexagonal body, majestic, carved eaves and beams, and antique. Under the light of our flashlight, there were many stone carvings on the building, which were very exquisite. When you look closely, you were a little creepy.
The carved on it is actually pictures of hell suffering. There are mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the ferocious and miserable human faces, which are simply unbearable to witness. Various tortures, the little ghosts jumping and smiling, filled the walls, and they looked at them, and there were countless people, and the shock was indescribable.
"What the hell is this place?" Prince Tong said in a trembling voice.
"Maybe it's hell." I said.
The black cat stood at the door of the ancient tower and looked at us motionlessly. Prince Tong and I walked in and went straight into the tower. Entering the main hall, I used a flashlight to shine. It was very empty, without any decoration or decoration. The strangest thing was that there was no upward stairs.
If there is no staircase, how can you reach the top of the tower?
We walked around the main hall and found no signs of stairs. Have we already walked into a dead end
At this time, the cat meowed and we saw the black cat standing in front of a black hole in the corner. I shone it with a flashlight. The hole was pitch black and deep, and I didn't know where it was underground. The cat meowed and jumped into the hole, leaving no trace.
We walked over and saw that there was a downward wooden staircase in the hole, and we didn't know where it led.
"This should be an underground palace." I said.
The "Underground Palace" Prince Tong looked at me in confusion.
"The ancient pagoda usually has an underground palace, which will store relics, magical instruments and other objects of monks. You know, Famen Temple, Shaanxi Famen Temple. Under the ancient pagoda is the underground palace, which also contains the Buddha's relics."
"Then do we want to go down?" asked Prince Tong.
I nodded: "This is the only way out. No matter what is below, we have to go and take a look."
I was sure to go down, Prince Tong and I held hands and walked down the stairs carefully. The stairs were deep and winding, and they were twisting and turns. The surroundings were silent, and we were careful and lightly, not daring to make any sound. Walking in such a ghost place, I was inevitably a little scared. I calmed down and shone around with a flashlight while walking.
As I walked, I suddenly felt a coldness emanating from the deep darkness, which was a little chilling. Prince Tong leaned against me tightly and shivered: "Why, why is it so cold?"
The stairs turned several times in a row and finally came to the bottom. The stairs ended here, and a small corridor appeared in front of us. It was very simple and surrounded by empty space. We walked along the corridor for a short period and reached the end. There was a barbed wire gate here. Through the door and flashlight shone in, you could see a corridor with corners, which room should lead to.
I pushed the barbed wire door, but fortunately it was not locked and opened in response. Prince Tong and I walked in.
When we entered this door, the temperature was getting lower and colder, and we couldn't stand it. We wrapped our clothes tightly, and we vomited white air from our mouths when we spoke.
Following the corridor inside to the corner, and just as she was about to enter, Prince Tong's flashlight illuminated something, she exclaimed: "Uncle"
A white door appeared in front of us, with bright red talismans written on it. At first glance, the whole door looked like a red door. Looking carefully with a flashlight, these talisman patterns were like ghost paintings, both large and small, densely arranged together, very cunning.
Prince Tong whispered: "Uncle, isn't that god inside?"
"I don't know." I said
She stared at the door and looked carefully and said, "These spells seem to be from Taoism. Isn't Taoism saying that it is the Taoist immortal? I think that god is inside."
The more I thought about it, the more chilled I felt: "What you mean is that a god created this world to cultivate here to become an immortal."
Prince Tong nodded very seriously: "Yes. I have read this information before. It seems that the only way to become a Daluo Golden Immortal is to break the delusion."
I am confused about "breaking the delusion".
"Delusion is the realm of delusion. I can't say it well, it seems to be an illusion. Those who want to become immortals will be trapped in this kind of illusion. Only by breaking the delusion can we break through the bottleneck of becoming immortals."
I swallowed my saliva and said, "You mean, we are now in a state of delusions of gods."
"I don't know. There is a Taoist talisman in front of me, and the legend says that there are gods living here. When the two are combined, that's how I guess."
"Yes, just look at it." As I said that, I walked to the door and pushed it lightly.
