Crunch.
Just when the coffin lid made a series of friction sounds and was about to be pushed up, the red egg in the pill in my mind suddenly gave me a warning.
He told me to be very careful.
"Brother Xing, stop it." My heart skipped a beat, and I was about to step forward to stop Xing Baole, but it was too late.
The coffin lid was already half open.
Xing Baole was frightened by my loud roar. He quickly stepped back more than ten steps, looked at me in shock and asked, "Xiao An, what are you shouting? What's wrong? Is there any danger?"
After speaking, he looked warily at the sarcophagus with its lid half open, and made a half-bending attack motion.
Although Xu Jinhua desperately wanted to find Xiao Zheng's soul, he was still hiding from a distance and watching the coffin vigilantly, fearing that some terrible entity would emerge.
The atmosphere was almost frozen, terrifyingly depressing.
But...
Until more than ten seconds passed, there was no movement, and nothing dangerous came out of the coffin.
"Xiao An." Xing Baole asked tentatively again, "Why did you ask me to stop just now? What did you find?"
I was a little confused. The red egg told me to be careful just now. I could feel the tension inside the red egg. But after opening the sarcophagus, why didn't anything happen?
When I asked Hongdan again what was going on, he said that he had just noticed a dangerous fluctuation in consciousness, but now it had disappeared.
"Dangerous fluctuations in consciousness?" I can feel now that there are only four groups of weak soul fluctuations in it.
When I used Taoist tools to improve my perception before, I did find some mysterious aura.
But... no matter what the situation inside is, the sarcophagus has been opened, and we can only continue to explore, at least to get rid of the devil inside.
"It's okay, let's be careful." After I finished speaking, I walked forward slowly and vigilantly.
The same is true for Xing Baole and Xu Jinhua.
Closer, closer.
Seeing that there was still no danger, Xing Baole took a deep breath, went up and pushed up the coffin lid with force, and was startled when he saw what was inside.
The same was true for Xu Jinhua who walked over.
I quickly walked over and looked down, and my heart moved. Inside this huge coffin lay a corpse of an unknown age.
The skeleton's deep black eyes were just facing me, as if staring at me. There were still a few bits of hair on the top of the head that were not rotten, and most of the clothes were rotten and clinging to the body.
I looked down, narrowed my eyes, and saw a red light group as big as a baby's head floating at the feet of the corpse.
There are four faces inside that are flashing constantly, so fast that one cannot see their appearance clearly.
But it can be seen that their expressions are extremely painful, and they seem to be howling miserably. There is a faint golden light flashing in the red light group, and it is unknown what it is.
These souls must be the four drowned villagers.
Suddenly, the speed of the soul's flickering slowed down, and a face of about fifty years old with a Chinese character appeared.
"Xiao Zheng." Xu Jinhua suddenly exclaimed and looked at me eagerly, "Mr. Da, this is Xiao Zheng's soul. Please save him."
"What on earth is this? How come the souls of the villagers are trapped in this weird red light ball? What about the devil?" Xing Baole said in confusion and searched all corners of the coffin.
But apart from the corpses, nothing was found. It was empty, not even a piece of gold or silver jewelry, and the dream of getting rich was in vain.
Suddenly, Hong Dan once again conveyed an idea in his mind, saying that the devil was at the bottom of the light group.
My heart moved, and I transferred the newly recovered vitality to the palm of my hand, grabbed the soul light group and lifted it up.
There was actually a force in the opposite direction pulling downwards and wrestling with me, obviously preventing me from lifting the light group.
Xing Baole and Xu Jinhua both looked at me nervously.
I increased my strength to lift it up again, but fortunately the pull down was not strong enough. When I was lifted up to see clearly what was underneath, I was shocked.
It was a red devil head about half the size of a palm with two horns, green wood fangs, a ferocious face, and his eyes were staring at me viciously.
"This..." Xing Baole frowned and asked in surprise, "What the hell is this?"
At this moment, my breathing gradually became faster, the devil's head, the devil's head again.
Demonic tattoos similar to this were found on the corpses that disappeared from those hospitals and the evil master Shen Qiaolan three years ago.
Although there are some differences between the face of the demon tattoo and the face of the demon head in front of me, they are definitely the same thing.
Moreover, Gongsun Tianqiang also has a demon avatar on his body, which makes me feel even more gloomy. That trash must be related to an evil organization.
It seems...
"Xiao An, look, it's the devil!" Xing Baole was startled.
I quickly looked carefully and saw the devil's face flashing on the devil's head. He stared at me viciously and let out a silent roar.
Suddenly, I looked greedily at the soul light ball in my hand, opened my mouth and sucked it in, and four thin golden threads were sucked out of the soul light ball, and they quickly penetrated into the demon's mouth.
In an instant, the four faces in the soul light group suddenly became distorted and painful, as if their bone marrow was being extracted.
"This is..." I narrowed my eyes. Is this demon absorbing a special energy in the soul?
We tracked the devil to this underwater stone chamber, half of which was to find the souls of the villagers.
But the most important purpose is to know the purpose and secret of the Evil God Church.
But looking at the scene in front of me, I was a little confused. The devil in the devil's head was actually absorbing some kind of energy from the four souls.
So, what is the purpose of this evil church?
Also, if this demon needs the energy in the soul, why not just devour the soul directly, but absorb it bit by bit?
"Once the devil devours the energy in the soul, something bad will definitely happen." Zen's voice suddenly came.
Immediately afterwards, the desire to devour the devil came from the red egg again.
I comforted Hongdan and told him to wait until the research was clear and let him devour it. Then I asked Zen, "Do you know what energy this demon is devouring in the soul?"
There is soul power in the soul. Sneaky devouring each other can indeed increase one's own strength, but there is no need to absorb it bit by bit like the devil, just swallow it directly.
This gives me the feeling that the energy absorbed by the demon may be something else.
At this moment, Xing Baole and Xu Jinhua saw me contemplating and said nothing, so they didn't bother me.
"If I'm not wrong..." Zen's voice suddenly became more solemn, and he said again: "This demon may have absorbed the innate energy in the soul. I can feel the special fluctuations in the golden thread!"
"What? Innate energy?" After hearing this, I exclaimed inwardly and looked at the demon with a horrified expression.
As I have introduced in my inheritance of the Four Zen and Eight Concentrations, innate Qi is not only the origin of the soul, but also the origin energy of all living beings.
It can even be said that it is the origin of the universe.
Since the beginning of time, no one knows when the universe was born and where its life span will end.
It can be said that the birth time and lifespan of the universe cannot be studied, and it is best described as having no beginning and no end.
As for scientists’ theory of the Big Bang, it is just a means of brainwashing mankind, or it is a ridiculous explanation of the existence of the universe by an authoritative organization, which is nonsense.
The universe is boundless, its small has no inside, its big has no outside.
The theory that the universe was born from the Big Bang of particles seems to me to be a fantasy and extremely ridiculous.
There is a saying in Buddhism that one flower is a world, and a leaf is a Bodhi.
The fine sand magnified hundreds of millions of times is a world, and there may be many living things in it, which is a universe.
Although how our universe was born cannot be explained and verified scientifically, Buddhism and Taoism have their own explanations.
There is a saying in Buddhism that there is an innate energy in the vast universe. After countless long years, the innate energy evolved into countless intelligent bodies, thus giving birth to countless lives and all things in the universe, as well as many worlds and six realms of reincarnation and other spaces. .
These intelligences encompass everything in the universe, including us humans.
The sad thing is that we regard everything we see in front of us as the real world, and we also think that our bodies and thoughts are our true selves.
But have they ever known that your body and mind are not your true self at all? Your body and mind are just the products of your innate energy.
The true self is the innate Qi in your soul, the origin of the universe, such as coming from nature, or calling it 'Tao'.
However, human beings' superficial understanding of the world takes illusions as reality, thinking that their bodies and brains are themselves, and that the world is real.
This kind of thinking is like a cage that covers one's innate energy, causing all living beings to reincarnate endlessly in the six realms and suffer unspeakably.
Sakyamuni even said that all living beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot achieve it because of delusional thinking and persistence.
What's the meaning?
It means that all living beings are originally Buddhas, but they are unable to become Buddhas due to false attachments.
So, what is delusion and persistence?
Delusion and persistence are all your attachments and perceptions of the three-dimensional world.
For example, if you insist on thinking that you are you and everything you see and hear is true, this is a kind of persistence!
