"Woo... hoo..."
Momentarily, a strange whisper sounded beside Chengzhuo's ears.
The sound was like the roar of some kind of wild beast, or like an unknown god whispering in his ear.
At first glance, it sounded like it was ringing from the horizon.
But if you listen carefully, it seems to come from the bottom of people's hearts.
All in all, it's indescribably weird...
In addition, along with the sound of "whining", there was also a strange squirming feeling in the living body.
This squirming feeling was like an unspeakable monster.
It is hidden in the living blood, under the skin and flesh tissue, and even in the mind.
And as time goes by, this creeping feeling will continue to intensify.
Feeling that something was getting more and more wrong, Chengshuo turned around and asked Tieniu: "Brother Niu, do you see anything moving on my body?"
"Moving? What do you mean?" Tieniu said with a confused look on his face: "You look quite normal."
Cheng Sheng looked at Yuan Xiujie again.
The latter was also confused and said: "I don't see any problem."
Chengshuo put his hand on his chest, and sure enough he didn't feel any movement...
So, everything that just happened was just an illusion?
Chengshuo continued: "What about the sound? Did you hear some weird sounds just now?"
"No." Yuan Xiujie shook his head and said, "I only heard you talking."
Tieniu said with a concerned look on his face: "Zhengshuo, are you okay?"
"It should be...it's okay." Chengshuo's answer was a little uncertain.
The feeling of strangeness goes away as quickly as it comes.
Just by talking to Tieniu and Yuan Xiujie, the strange feeling in Chengshui's body disappeared.
So he ignored this moment and turned to Tieniu: "Brother Niu, can you leave now?"
Tieniu tried to stand up from the ground and took two steps back and forth: "I can walk, but the power of the Soothing Pill in my body has not been completely dissipated."
"So if we meet the 'Ancient Immortal' again, I will have to rely on you to help deal with it."
It's not difficult to deal with the 'Ancient Immortal'.
In comparison, Chengshuo is more concerned about the 'Relief Pill': "By the way, what is the Relief Pill that Wu Sheng, that old bald donkey, gave you?"
Tieniu replied: "A pill that can alleviate the torture of the 'power of pain'. Each pill can last for about a month."
"As for the specific refining method and what materials are used, I don't know."
As he spoke, there was a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Actually, I can vaguely feel that there is something wrong with the heart-relieving pill that Wu Sheng gave me, but the unrefined 'power of pain' is really too torturous. So even if I knew there was something wrong with the Soothing Heart Pill, I could only bite the bullet and take it."
Chengshuo nodded and continued: "Then how did you and Wu Sheng meet?"
"It's a long story..." Tieniu recalled: "After I guarded the graves of people in our village for a year, I thought about going out to learn from my master."
"But later I discovered that except you and me, other monks practice by absorbing the 'power of pain'."
"Then in order to break through to a higher realm, I started to practice the 'Power of Pain'."
"Then, because no one pointed me out, I accidentally absorbed the 'power of pain' that didn't belong to me."
"After a few twists and turns, I finally came to the realm of Leizhou. I also met Wu Sheng, a young Buddhist, and got the Heart-Relieving Pill from him to relieve the torture of the 'power of pain' in my body."
Having said this, Tieniu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Although Wu Sheng wanted to harm me...but I have to say that without his Heart-Relieving Pill, I might not have been able to make it all the way here."
"After that, I will meet you in the Blood Forest..."
During the conversation, Chengshuo did not forget to check Wusheng's storage bag carefully.
In the storage bag, apart from some coins, clothes, and the tin staff that Wu Sheng had taken out and used before, there was only a half-meter-high Buddha statue made of clay.
This Buddha statue looks very familiar...
Chengshuo Chong Tieniu and Yuan Xiujie said, "Do you still remember that Wu Sheng buried a clay Buddha statue outside the Blood Forest before?"
"Remember, what's wrong?" Tieniu asked strangely: "Aren't Wu Sheng and others already dead? Why do you still care about the Buddha statue?"
Because of the incident involving Buddha's heirs in Guyang City, Cheng Sheng had never had a good impression of Buddha statues.
He frowned and said, "I always feel that there is a big problem with the Buddha statue buried by Wu Sheng... We'd better get out of the forest as soon as possible and go see the Buddha statue first."
In the blood forest.
Not long after Chenghuo, Tieniu and Yuan Xiujie left, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared on the blood tree that was suspected to be transformed by the 'ancient immortal'.
These eyes are on the trunk of the blood tree, making the blood tree seem to suddenly come to life.
It stared in the direction where Chengshuo and others were leaving, as if thinking about something...
…
Outside the blood forest.
Just as Cheng Huo and others left the Blood Forest, a crack suddenly appeared in the ground where Wu Sheng had buried the clay Buddha statue.
Not long after, a clay figure whose whole body was made of soil slowly crawled out of the crack.
The clay figure looked like the old monk Wu Sheng who had just died.
Wu Sheng climbed out of the ground and glanced in the direction of the blood forest, with a strong look of fear in his eyes.
After his resurrection, he did not dare to stay any longer and quickly left this place in just a few leaps...
Not long after that.
Chengshuo, Tieniu and Yuan Xiujie walked out of the blood forest.
Looking at the inexplicable holes on the ground, Chengshuo felt something was wrong: "This hole should be where Wu Sheng buried the Buddha statue."
"But the problem is that the clay Buddha statue is gone." Tieniu asked strangely: "So, the Buddha statue buried by the old bald donkey grew up and ran away?"
"Hard to say."
Cheng Sheng said uncertainly: "I suspect that this is a method used by the Little Buddha to convey messages... That Buddha statue was probably used to repay the Little Buddha's credit after his death."
Tieniu worriedly said: "Then we will be retaliated by the people of Little Buddhism?"
"It's hard to say."
Cheng Sheng analyzed calmly: "But in any case, Ruyun City is the territory of the Taoist Sect... and the Taoist Sect and the big and small Buddhism have never dealt with it, so if we go back to Ruyun City and hide, we should be able to avoid being attacked by the Taoism to a certain extent. Buddhist people are looking for trouble.”
"That makes sense." Tieniu nodded in agreement.
After taking the sap of the blood tree and resolving the torture caused by the 'power of pain', Tieniu can now perfectly control the spiritual power in his body.
The spiritual power in his body no longer overflows.
This makes him look no different from ordinary people, and he will no longer be regarded as an 'evil'.
The three people flew with their weapons and rushed back to the North Immortal Mountain Station of Ruyun City in less than an hour.
Seeing Cheng Huo's group, Zhong Ran walked out of the hall.
She looked at Tieniu and said blankly: "Dare I ask who this is..."
Tie Niu saluted Zhong Ran with his fists raised, and said politely: "I'm Cheng...I'm Tie Niu, I've met fellow Taoist."
Zhong Ran had a strange expression.
Chenghuo quickly explained: "Actually, my real name is Chenghuo, and Tieniu is the pseudonym I used before."
It was not uncommon for monks to hide their identities under false names, so Zhong Ran was only stunned for a second or two before he realized what he was doing.
She said with a trace of panic in her tone: "Let's not talk about it for now. Fellow Taoist Tie...cheng, my father is dying. He said he wanted to see you before he died."
Not working anymore?
Cheng Sheng was startled when he heard this.
——The death of the leader of Beixian Mountain was unexpected, but it was reasonable.
After all, Master Zhong has been heartbroken since his visit to the ruins of the ancient Buddha. His life is approaching, and whether he dies or not is only a matter of time.
"Oh, let's go then!"
Chengshuo sighed softly and walked towards Master Zhong with Zhong Ran.
Tieniu and Yuan Xiujie followed closely behind.
