What is reality?
What is a fantasy?
Listening to the strange nun's inquiry, Li Nanke frowned and said coldly: "Do we still need to distinguish? Now it is an illusion!"
"Since it's an illusion, why do you and I exist? Can we sense our surroundings?"
The nun's unusually deep big eye shimmered with purple light, as if looking at something invisible.
For some reason, Li Nanke felt a strong attraction when standing in front of the other person, as if his body and mind were being involved in the mysterious world created by the other person.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The full moon in the sky has been covered with a mysterious red gauze, creating the atmosphere of a red rain world.
Or perhaps, this is also the world of Red Rain.
The nun said quietly: "The world in which all sentient beings live is created by the combination of causes and conditions, that is, the nature of emptiness. All things have no independent essence, and their existence is only temporary and relative... Donor, do you understand? ?”
"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."
Li Nanke suddenly thought of this sentence.
The mysterious nun smiled slightly. Although she had no mouth, you could feel her smiling.
"The donor is very understanding."
"Smart ass!"
Li Nanke reacted suddenly, his expression full of annoyance, "Don't try to bewitch me. Let me ask you, why are you pestering me all the time? If you are a monster in the Red Rain World, then don't blame me for making trouble!"
"Donor come with me."
The mysterious nun suddenly turned around and entered the meditation room.
Li Nanke didn't intend to go there, but he followed involuntarily.
Entering the Zen room, everything inside was completely changed.
Li Nanke found himself in a dark and cold cave. The surrounding stone walls were exposed and covered with a thin layer of moss.
The mysterious nun has disappeared.
Occasionally, a faint ray of light floated from the front, reflecting on the ground through the deep black shadow, like a ghost's finger gently touching it.
Li Nanke walked slowly along the light and came to an open place.
There are so many people here.
They are all monks.
They were standing, sitting, or kneeling, with their hands clasped together, their eyes closed, and the expressions on their faces were extremely pious.
A lotus lantern is placed next to everyone.
The lights emitted a faint green light, making the already weird scene even more eerie.
The water drops slowly falling from the stone wall are like silent tears, hitting the round stone drop by drop. The ticking sound is like a mantra lingering in the ears, accompanied by a faint sigh.
Right in front of the monk worshiping, is a monster wearing tattered cassocks.
That's right, it's a monster!
It looks like a human body, but its upper body has more than a dozen cyan hands. Some of them are clasped together, some are making Buddhist seals, or their claws are curled up like evil ghosts...
Especially its head, the chin and lips are still there, but the upper half of the head is like a blooming bloody lotus.
There is a human brain floating in the lotus.
The brain was surrounded by flames, and the red light emitted was extremely eerie.
From a distance, it looks like a small sun.
There is also a long red ribbon wrapped around its body. If you look closely, it turns out to be an umbilical cord.
Solemn, sacred and solemn!
Weird, spooky, and evil!
The perfect combination of Buddha and demon looks particularly heavy in the scarlet darkness, as if to press the depressing atmosphere into people's hearts.
Li Nanke even felt that he was in a dark abyss.
Under the weak red light, there are some ancient Buddha statues around, and the waxy traces indicate that they have been standing here for a long time.
But every Buddha statue has a piece missing.
The broken piece pieced together four large characters on another stone tablet -
Buddhism is boundless!
Li Nanke was at a loss. Although these monks, including the weird lotus monk, were motionless, he always felt like he was stuck in the quagmire.
This reminded him of the scene in the red rain world where he ran into a strange cave.
I saw the bloody Buddha behind the Nantian Gate.
But then the old Taoist priest suddenly appeared and rescued him. Now it's a mysterious nun who takes him to an even weirder place.
But where is the mysterious nun?
Just when Li Nanke was confused, the mysterious nun's quiet voice sounded behind him, "People often fall into two extremes. One is to be too persistent and attached to reality, and the other is to be intoxicated and addicted in fantasy."
Although there are certain differences in appearance between reality and fantasy, they are actually illusory existences..."
Li Nanke turned around, but did not see the mysterious nun.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Li Nanke asked.
The mysterious nun said: "Look at the monks around you, they are not monks. Every one of them wants to live in illusion and does not want to wake up."
Li Nanke looked around at the "monks" with their eyes tightly closed.
Only then did he realize that these people seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. To be precise - they had fallen into their own dreams.
"The Red Rain Dream... The Red Rain Dream... it can exist because people need it to exist."
The mysterious nun said quietly.
Li Nanke frowned, "You mean that in order to escape reality, many people are willing to live in illusions and in the dreams they weave.
The reason why the Red Rain World exists is not because of a red rain, but... human nature. "
But this time, the mysterious nun didn't answer.
Everything was quiet again.
"say something."
Li Nanke was a little angry, and suddenly there was a warmth in his palm.
When he looked down, he saw the dragon-shaped mark on his palm flickering.
This mark was magically imprinted by Bai Ruyue when she gave him the royal dragon-shaped jade pendant, which helped him kill monsters when time was suspended.
It can be said to be a plug-in artifact.
Of course Li Nanke didn't know that the dragon-shaped jade pendant was actually the queen's personal treasure.
At this moment, without the stimulation of Hongyu's energy, the brand suddenly changed again, which was puzzling.
Li Nanke subconsciously clenched his palms.
In an instant, golden light spread out, and all the surrounding scenes turned into fly ash and gradually dissipated.
Those monks, the lotus monk, all seemed like statues that had been corroded by the wind and sand, and disappeared without a trace in Li Nanke's astonished sight.
The next moment, he appeared in a strange curtain hole.
The water drops flowing down in front of you are like crystal necklaces, intertwined into a water curtain. Through the water curtain, you can faintly see a green ice bed in the cave.
Li Nanke walked through the water curtain and came to the jasper ice bed.
There was a beautiful woman sleeping on the ice bed.
The woman's face is as clear as a tick, her long hair is smooth and shining, and her skin is delicate.
Wearing tight-fitting underwear, she has a graceful figure.
Under the bed was crystal clear water, and the water droplets on the ice bed seemed to blend with her breath, seeping into her whole body, reflecting a touch of elegant color.
Staring at the woman sleeping on the bed of green ice, Li Nanke felt a thin dividing line between dream and reality.
The other party is still in reality, as if in a dream.
Every gentle breath from the lips seems to carry a faint fragrance, which makes people feel like taking a shower in the spring breeze.
"Who is this?"
Li Nanke was extremely confused.
The golden light in the palm of his hand was still flickering, sending a strange heat throughout his body.
Looking at the woman's delicate and moist lips, he lowered his head and kissed her gently.
At this moment, the woman's curved eyelashes trembled slightly and she opened her eyes.
The woman was still confused at first, but when she felt the tenderness from her lips and the profile of the strange man appearing in front of her, her eyes suddenly widened.
She wanted to get up and push the man away, but found that she was powerless.
It was difficult to even move a finger.
how so?
Where is this?
The woman was terrified inside, as well as angry and ashamed of being bullied.
When she noticed the man's hand on her body, she suddenly felt strength coming from nowhere, pushed him away, and sat up suddenly.
But the next second, the environment around her changed.
"The Queen."
The maid on night duty, who heard the commotion, hurriedly came to check.
