0679 The way of hungry ghosts, the city of hungry ghosts!
What Bi Xia and others expected was that apart from being a little eerily quiet, there seemed to be no other dangers in City C today. Even though the sun had set, they still didn't encounter anyone while running through the dead ruins of the city.
enemies or dangers, as if this was just an ordinary ruined city.
But as the saying goes, if something goes awry, it must be a monster. The quieter City C is and the less traces of enemies can be seen, the uneasiness in the hearts of Bi Xia and others becomes more intense.
Soon, Bixia and others crossed half of the city and arrived in front of the quaint Kaifu Temple.
Kaifu Temple is a famous sacred place for incense. Although it is not as large as Shouyue, it has a long history. Like Shouyue, it was one of the first places to be transformed into a blessed place. Bi Xia's Bodhi Seed was born from here.
Obtained from Fukuji Temple.
Now that several months have passed, Kaifu Temple still maintains the same appearance as when Bi Xia left, as if it has not been invaded by various dangers in the end of the world. It is still full of ancient charm, quiet and peaceful, as if it has become a pure land in the end of the world.
.
"Hahaha, I, Hu Hansan, am back again!"
Looking at the locked door of Kaifu Temple, Bi Xia laughed loudly, then slapped the door with a heavy palm and shouted: "Bodhi tree, open the door quickly, your old friend is here!"
Whoosh!
As Bi Xia's words fell, the gate of Kaifu Temple suddenly opened, and then a golden branch emitting bright golden light shot out from the gate and flew towards Bi Xia at an alarming speed.
This scene is exactly the same as the scene when Bishop was whipped away by the Bodhi tree when he left Kaifu Temple!
However, a few months later, Bi Xia is no longer Wu Xia A Meng!
"Hey, this trick again?"
Facing the golden branch that was whipped at an astonishing speed, Bi Xia laughed, then waved his right hand and hit the golden branch with the King Kong Demon Seal!
boom!
The next moment, accompanied by a violent roar, the golden branch was blocked by Bi Xia, unable to move forward half an inch!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
But before Bi Xia could say anything, five or six branches shot out from the door!
"Damn, that's too much!"
Facing these golden branches that shot out, Bi Xia's face changed slightly, and then he took a step forward. The golden light on his body shone, and instantly transformed into a glazed golden body with three heads and six arms. He waved the golden body magic weapon in his hand and moved towards those golden branches.
The branches flew away.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
Along with a series of violent roars, those golden branches were once again blocked by Bi Xia.
But the problem is that it is true that Bixia has three heads and six arms, but the bodhi tree has more than six branches? So although Bixia blocked this round of attacks, more branches continued to shoot out!
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Seeing the golden branches that were shooting out continuously, Bi Xia's face almost turned pale with fright. He immediately waved his hands and shouted: "That's enough, Bodhi tree, I'm not here to take away your Bodhi seeds this time. I want that thing too much."
It’s useless to say more, I’m here to ask you about the situation in City C!”
"What happened in City C? Why did it become such a ghost!"
Hearing Bi Xia's words, the golden branches that shot up suddenly stopped, as if judging whether Bi Xia's words were true or false.
After a few seconds, the branches slowly retracted behind the door, and at the same time, an old and tired voice also sounded: "Come in..."
"Get in!"
Seeing those golden branches retracted and hearing the old voice, Bi Xia was relieved, then nodded to Zhao Ren and Baili Mingyu, and then took the lead into Kaifu Temple.
When they saw Bi Xia entering Kaifu Temple, Zhao Ren and Baili Mingyu immediately followed.
Afterwards, the gate of Kaifu Temple was closed again, and the outside world returned to dead silence again.
…
Shortly after entering Kaifu Temple, after crossing a small bridge, Bi Xia and others saw a magnificent golden tree that looked as if it were made of gold. It was also so huge that it almost covered most of the golden tree in Kaifu Temple!
This is the Bodhi tree that Bixia mentioned!
But the strange thing is that Bi Xia and others didn't even see the shadow of the big tree when they were outside Kaifu Temple. Obviously, Kaifu Temple is a world of its own like other blessed places, and the inside and outside belong to different places.
space.
Under the big golden tree, an old monk with a withered look, like an octogenarian, was sweeping the floor. As Bi Xia and others approached, the old monk did not stop his movements, and did not even move his eyes.
He just said lightly: "Why are you back again?"
"I came back this time to rescue people inside the National University of Defense Technology and find something on the way."
Bi Xia seemed to be familiar with the old man. When he heard the old man's words, he said carelessly: "Hey, you have been here for so long, you should know something, right? How did this city become like this?"
"Going to the National University of Defense Technology?"
The old monk did not directly answer Bi Xia's words, but after hearing the words "National University of Defense Technology", his sweeping hand paused slightly, then he raised his head, glanced at Bi Xia and others, and said lightly: "Practice is not easy, life is
It’s precious, you’d better not go there and die.”
"You really know something!"
Hearing what the old monk said, Bi Xia's eyes lit up and he said: "What on earth is there in the National University of Defense Technology that even you can say these words?"
"I don't know what's in there, I just know that the things in there are very dangerous..."
The old monk shook his head and said calmly: "Don't you want to know why City C has become so dead? Let me tell you, it's because except for a very few special beings, the souls of all other creatures in City C are dead.
It has been swallowed up by the thing inside the National University of Defense Technology, even those soul fires from a few days ago are no exception!"
Having said this, the old monk paused for a moment, and then continued: "Perhaps it is more accurate to say that it is not devouring, but transforming... Those souls have been transformed into terrible hungry ghosts!"
"Hungry ghost? The kind of thing in the legendary six realms of hungry ghosts?"
Hearing the old monk's words, Bi Xia was stunned: "No, I didn't see any ghosts all the way here just now. I didn't even sense a trace of ghost energy. It can't be that I'm blind, right?"
"That's because the time hasn't come yet!"
The old monk shook his head and said: "These hungry ghosts usually disappear without a trace, but as soon as midnight passes, all those hungry ghosts will emerge. By then, City C will also turn into a city of hungry ghosts.
At that time, all living creatures that enter City C will have their flesh and blood devoured by these evil ghosts, their souls will be taken away, and they will be sacrificed to the special being in the National University of Defense Technology."
Having said this, the old monk sighed slightly and said: "I originally tried to go to the National University of Defense Technology to find out what's going on, but firstly, I am rooted here and can't stay away. Secondly, the things in the National University of Defense Technology are too powerful, so
After several attempts, not only did there be no results, I even lost three Bodhi seeds... Hehe, although your strength is good, you still have to listen to me and don't go there and die!"
