The surrounding fog turned red in the blink of an eye.
This sudden change caught them both by surprise. Shi Wuqi stepped through the heavy smoke, pushed aside the unformed picture, picked up the incense burner on the table, and examined it carefully.
"What's wrong?" Chenxing asked confused.
"...It doesn't seem to be a problem with fuel," Shi Wuqi said nervously, "Something happened in the human world."
The color of the red mist seems to be gradually deepening, as if it is stained with blood, and it can almost make people smell a fishy smell. The scene condensed in front of the audience makes the audience immersed in the scene and is extremely real. And it is this reality that deepens the horror they convey.
This is nothing but hell on earth.
At first it was just a few people, just a small area, just little things. In several villages near Qinglize, people seemed to be bewitched by some invisible force, and at a certain moment they became empty and confused. At dusk, the man carrying the bucket and ax suddenly let go of his hand, letting the water spill all over the floor, and the firewood scattered. The woman who was breastfeeding also stayed there, letting the child worry in her arms and turning a deaf ear. It was just a brief shock, and people's emotions were suddenly ignited by something. The people in the dispute became more and more fierce, dancing and eloquent; the people in grief cried more and more miserably, the wind and rain were miserable, and they were miserable.
This influence is centered on one location and spreads rapidly. The original people were even less controlled. It was like a drop of thick ink falling into the water, but it did not dissipate. Instead, it polluted the entire pond. At first it was just scattered gray, then it was hazy black, and then it was some kind of deep color that was even more indescribable than pitch black. Maybe it's the color of despair.
People's behavior is getting out of control. The tone, expression, and movements gradually developed to the point of exaggeration. The laughter turned into madness, the swearing turned into pushing and shoving, and the crying became even more hoarse. There are also more unusual people here. Since they fell into that strange silence, they have never been able to recover. It's almost night, and these people don't rest. They just sit or stand in silence, without making any movements, and there is no light in their eyes.
It's not that there are no sober people, just very few, and over time, their rationality has been eroded away. In the eyes of these few people, everything that happened in front of them was incomprehensible and unexplainable. It just "happened" suddenly without any warning. Someone looked kind and cheerful just a moment ago, but suddenly looked serious the next moment, calmly walked to the window, pushed the window open and jumped out. This kind of behavior, which has no motive and does not consider the consequences, is nothing but unbelievable and terrifying. Even though flesh and blood were shattered and brains splattered, the people on the street didn't seem confused.
Why are there people on the street at night?
At this moment, everyone is only immersed in their own world.
Others picked up knives, hoes, or anything else at hand that could be used as a weapon. They attack and kill others indiscriminately, regardless of whether the victims are men, women, old people or children, whether they are going crazy or dead together. The identity of the attackers can be anyone, male or female, young or old. They can be anyone, radical or moderate. There is not much difference, or the origin of these differences needs to be distinguished in depth. But at this time, no one would want to trace such a thing.
This kind of persecution is not only against those who have nothing to do with it, but even your own relatives will not be spared. Rather, it is precisely because they are relatives, or people who happen to be close to them, that they are treated in this way. Victims are divided into two categories: they either let their weapons fall on them, or even just endure beatings and chokes with bare hands; or they fight back vigorously, but there is no desire to survive, and they just attack back without resistance, venting their unreasonableness. of what.
Some people were mumbling something, but suddenly screamed loudly; some people were quiet and suddenly laughed, and then fell down. Everyone seems to be either not thinking or thinking too much at the same time. This kind of mental activity is extremely harmful, and the result is a bloody, tragic, and unrecognizable human world.
Or maybe they are just doing what they want to do deep down in their hearts, in the most direct way.
In the Three Realms and Six Paths, inside and outside the mortal world, the body is born and dies, reborn and dies; the world becomes and becomes bad, becomes and becomes bad again.
Everything in the world has an end, but the reincarnation of cause and effect never stops.
All matter is illusory, only the mind is eternal and invincible.
If the mind can be stored permanently, the body is disposable.
Since the body is not as durable as the mind, then giving it up is liberation.
——To destroy my body is to liberate my soul.
They all heard it, heard a call that came from far away but was very close to their ears.
They all heard it, heard a kind of whisper that came from the ears, but came from the heart.
In this way, the internal and external resonances complement each other, one disappears and the other grows, and each other destroys and regenerates.
What they heard was this "truth".
However, suffering from all kinds of suffering in the world, making false plans for nirvana in the mind, making false plans for the body, driving the mind and spirit, and the king's laws are all sins and mistakes;
But if you do all the evil in the world, cling to the five aggregates as self, be ignorant of the principles, and have no cause and effect, all the precepts can be broken;
However, if you realize all the good things in the world and see them in the past, if you hold on to them for a long time, or if you hold on to them for a long time, there will be no blessings or misfortunes in your karma;
However, if you understand all the laws in the world, in the non-true and victorious Dharma, the evil mind will follow the principles and circulate endlessly, and the evil views will all become pure and turbid.
All chaos.
It is worth noting that the influence of such disorder and madness seems to only affect humans. Species other than humans, such as beasts, monsters, and vegetation, all still maintain their former appearance. Even in the eyes of monsters, everything people are doing now exceeds the "reason" they possess. This kind of chaos where routines and order collapse in an instant is enough to make any living creature in a daze.
The more people gather in a place, the more blood flows. All the tangible and intangible things that humans have built over the years that can be called civilization are rapidly fading and disintegrating. This impact is getting bigger and deeper, faster, more pathological, and more uncontrollable than the plague. Brothers and sisters kill each other, parents and children kill each other, and lovers kill each other. All the morals, benevolence, methods and disciplines in the world are in vain. The powerful invisible force silently and invisibly pushes everything into the abyss of collapse step by step.
"What's going on?" Chenxing looked around in the illusion, "Are these real? There must be something wrong somewhere."
"...Uncontrollable things happen where we can't see. As a result, the human order is out of control."
Chenxing fell into a long silence. There is no doubt that these images are of things that have already happened, happening all over the world. The source of this loss of control was the place she just left, and this disaster was rapidly spreading to every corner of the world. Even though there was no sound in the picture displayed by the smoke screen, this fragmented, real, and tens of millions of scenes undoubtedly shocked her deeply.
"None of this has anything to do with me."
She finally spoke, but her tone was so indifferent. Even if there is a brief pause before speaking, it is just as if he knows that what he says next is inappropriate. But she said it anyway.
"...Do you really think it has nothing to do with you at all?"
Shi Wuqi looked at her.
"Your tone makes it sound as if I had a hand in causing the current situation."
Having said that, Chenxing thought of what Yingyue Jun said to her before - she had the ability to purify the Wan Gu Pond, so that the shark could avoid death. But the fact is that she can't save anyone. Various chances and coincidences caused the incident to happen like this, and it was not just something she corrected in one step that was enough to determine the fate of the entire ethnic group.
She picked up the half mask and looked at it for a while. She felt that there was a complex spell on it, perhaps cast by Death Shadow Pavilion. This spell prevented all her soul from returning to the "bones". Those souls trapped within the shadow barrier did not come out with it. They were originally intended to possess an innocent person of flesh and blood. Yingyue-kun could have just ignored everything, right? Why leave the chance of escape to her just to save one more person? Probably, Liu Lixin asked her to avoid the interference of such ominous things, so what responsibility did Yingyue Jun sincerely allow herself to bear? Of course this guy knew that his physical escape route was the Eclipse Palace. Maybe she and Shi Wuqi had planned it. Then you have been designed.
"Yingyue-Jun also knows that if he wants to exist, he will absolutely need human beings."
I don't know whether he saw the mask or saw through her mind, but Shi Wuqi said this.
"The world will usher in such turmoil, and she is not willing to see it. After all, it is the six paths of impermanence, and their existence is for the order of the human world. Perhaps their actions are not all for human beings, and even Huangquan December is not They are all composed of human beings, but whoever is in that position can promote some things to happen. Even some people who have not received many orders have the meaning of their existence since they are given the title of Impermanence—— A meaning that can have an impact on the present world.”
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"The reason why the human world is called the human world is because there are human beings in the world." Shi Wuqi looked at her seriously and said, "You are also a human being, a spirit in the world of mortals. Even if your heart gives you a longer life, you cannot escape the cause and effect. The settlement of the six realms of reincarnation, but that day has not yet come. Good and evil will be rewarded. Even if it is not fulfilled in this life, it will be fulfilled in the next life, and the next life. Do you know how long I have been wandering in hell? What don’t I want to take? The sense of brotherhood and brotherhood threatens you. I just want to say that I have lived too long and seen too much, and I know deeply that even if you and I don't like it or don't want to admit it, all of this is a real thing."
"You mean, even if I feel that doing good, doing evil or doing nothing in this life has nothing to do with me in the future, and I don't even believe in its existence, it must still exist?"
"You have also lived in the human world for hundreds of years. You should know that those so-called good rewards and evil rewards will be fulfilled one by one over time. It just didn't happen because it didn't last long enough."
"But, that's the case, am I still a human being?"
"Kanna-kun has no heart either - his heart was destroyed by himself. Do you think he is human?"
"...You should talk about the things that only I did in the beginning."
"Thank you. You see, this fragment belongs to the wish-fulfilling bead, and it is said that it can realize any wish. But using it will incur a price corresponding to the wish. The only one who can truly purify this curse is the glass heart that also belongs to Garuda. And look at this, the cracked orb that looks like it's about to break is the token left behind by two tongues and idle words. They still retain the infamous power of oral creation, but if you want to use it, you still need to strip away the filth in it. .”
"I understand what you mean."
