"Black King, Nidhogg." Lu Mingze confirmed, "So, do you understand?"
"..."
For some reason, Lu Mingfei's body couldn't stop shaking, as if he was afraid?
But why? He didn't remember meeting Nidhogg, nor did he remember any enmity between them. Why did he suddenly feel fear?
"What kind of world is this...and why did you bring us here?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Don't you understand yet? Brother."
Lu Mingze said calmly, his eyes extremely cold, "This is our memory, and it is also a past that has existed in the long river of time. You have forgotten something here... so I will take you back to look for it."
"What is it? I don't understand it at all!"
"You don't need to understand, just look ahead and keep moving forward."
Lu Mingze said, turning around and leaving slowly, "Brother, come on, struggle in this world. You will all find what you are looking for. Here - prove the truth again!"
Lu Mingze's voice echoed in Lu Mingfei's ears. When he reacted, Lu Mingze in front of him was nowhere to be seen.
"Um? Where is the person?" Lu Mingfei was stunned, "Just leave?"
He was confused by Lu Mingze's sudden farewell. What was he looking for? He couldn't remember ever leaving anything behind in a damn place like this! How about proving the truth?
Now, only the towering corpse of the giant wolf is left on the ice sheet, and the severed limbs of the wolf pack are like the end of the world.
In front of this kind of monster, isn't it the only way to get slaughtered? ?
"Let's go." Chu Zihang said towards Lu Mingfei.
"Where to go?"
Lu Mingfei was a little confused, why was Chu Zihang so calm now? They almost told me here just now!
"He told me just now that he asked me to escort you to Fulong City." Chu Zihang's voice was calm. "Leave here early. The corpse may attract other things."
"Hey, wait!" Lu Mingfei quickly followed, "When did he tell you? Why didn't I know?"
"Just when you were in a daze."
Chu Zihang said calmly, and took out a money bag in his hand, "He gave it to me, don't worry, I won't charge you any money."
"..."
Lu Mingfei followed Chu Zihang all the way.
He found that Chu Zihang seemed to know the map of this world very well. Had he conducted various investigations during the period before they arrived? In other words, this man had been wandering before they were brought here. He traveled all over the world and seemed to be looking for something.
Money is very important to Chu Zihang now, because he doesn't know where the person he is looking for is or how long he will be looking for. He must ensure that he does not starve to death.
Chu Zihang said that in order to reach Fulong City, one must first step into the Pure Land. However, in order to pass through the Pure Land, you must first undergo "baptism". It is said that "baptism" is completed by an enlightened monk. If you cannot pass his test, you can only stay in the Pure Land.
The so-called Pure Land is actually just a name for a group of monks.
Although the name sounds mysterious, it is just a gathering place for a group of monks.
People in this world need faith to survive. People think that they can be protected by believing in the gods and Buddhas in the sky. In fact, they are just seeking psychological comfort. After all, the reason why this world is so chaotic is precisely because of the rise of gods and demons.
Most of the monks in the Pure Land don't even have enough to eat, but they call it asceticism and say that only through suffering can they gain great merit.
But in Lu Mingfei's opinion, it was just farts.
As for the bullshit "baptism", in his opinion, it's like "I planted this tree and opened this road. If I want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road."
How does this place look like a pure land?
The whole place is a pile of ruins... Although there are a lot of monks living there, there is not even a decent temple. It is dilapidated and looks like a slum.
············
The only one in the pure land
In front of a decent temple.
At this moment, there were two women standing. Because their arrival attracted many strange eyes.
There are only temples in the Pure Land, not nunneries, so naturally there are very few women here. In addition, this is a place where monks and nuns are capable of cultivating, and women are not supposed to be there, and women are never welcome.
But now there are two people here. She has long blond hair, a tall and well-proportioned figure, plump yet graceful, and can be said to have a perfect figure. The other guy...has legs from the neck down.
The blond woman looked at the hungry and slender monks around her with some confusion on her face: "Ma Yi, tell me, these monks are suffering like this, can they understand any big principles?"
"I don't understand the logic, but it's obvious that they haven't practiced enough." Mai Shutoku snorted coldly, "Everyone is staring at my legs, what's the point?"
"Oh...who told our Mai to be so charming?" Su Enxi said and wanted to hug her, but was pushed away by Jiude Mai.
"Stop making trouble and do business first."
"Yes, yes." Su Enxi looked regretful as she looked at the place in front of her that could barely be called a temple, "Do you think there are really any eminent monks here?"
"This is not our business..." Mai Shutoku looked helpless, because her partner always did things lazily and talked a lot.
"Where is that kid now?"
"Based on the time, we are probably almost at the Pure Land, right?" Su Enxi nodded her head lightly, "The boss never makes mistakes, and I should not make mistakes either."
She was speaking modestly.
Because her speech spirit is "Heavenly Evolution" and has computing power comparable to a super computer, everything in the world is a set of data that can be calculated in her eyes.
"So what is the purpose of our coming here?" Mai Shutoku was also confused. Isn't their task to be good nannies? Why did you come here to find the monk?
"You don't understand this, right?" Su Enxi chuckled, "The boss said that there is an eminent monk living in the pure land here. That's why I just asked you if there really is one here..."
"What happened to the eminent monk?"
"Gods, Buddha and devils are natural enemies." Su Enxi stopped smiling, "Our boss calls himself a devil..."
"So we're here to play gym?" Mai Shutoku sneered.
"Otherwise, it's enough for me to come alone." Su Enxi shrugged, "If you want to pass through here, you have to ask the monk here first, but Lu Mingfei is a person protected by the devil, and there will be disaster if he passes here."
"What you're saying is so mysterious..." Mai Shutoku was speechless, "What if I'm still being reasonable?"
"I can't say for sure, but the boss never allows accidents. So thank you for your hard work~"
"Let's go in first and then talk."
Saying that, Mai Shutoku crossed the shabby threshold.
A young monk walked out of the courtyard. He didn't ask the two of them what they were doing, but just led them towards the courtyard.
This actually made the two of them raise their eyebrows.
"interesting."
They looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the people inside had some knowledge and already knew that they were coming.
Arriving at a large, dilapidated Zen room, the young monk suddenly stopped.
"Little monk, won't you knock on the door?" Mai Shutoku asked him.
"..."
The young monk ignored her, but respectfully faced the closed door and saluted with his hands clasped together.
The door opened.
The ones who opened the door were two monks who looked a little old. They were still sallow and thin, but they were holding sticks in their hands. They seemed to be just gatekeepers.
And when they looked inside the door, they saw a kind-looking old man sitting cross-legged on the shabby bed. The old man had his eyes closed and didn't seem to notice that the guest was coming.
"How?" Su Enxi looked at Jiude Mai and gestured.
"I can't tell the depth." Mai Shutoku shook her head, "It looks like you have to try it to know."
"What are the two female benefactors doing here?" asked the monk guarding the door.
"Looking for someone." Su Enxi gestured towards the old monk inside, "Is the person inside your abbot here?"
"Yes, but the abbot can't hear you. If you have anything, please tell me." The monk guarding the gate said respectfully.
"Can't you hear?" Su Enxi and Jiude Mai looked at each other and frowned slightly.
This old man is actually deaf? But why do you seem to know they will come? And if he really couldn't hear, what was the point of telling the monk in front of him something?
"Two donors, if nothing happens, please come back?" The monk asked after seeing the two of them staying at the door for a long time without saying a word.
"What should we do if we want to go through here?" Mai Shutoku asked tentatively.
"this……"
The two gatekeeper monks looked at each other, then faced the old monk inside, seemingly seeking advice.
After a moment, they nodded and turned around to face Su Enxi and Jiude Mai again.
This scene made them look at each other. How did these monks communicate? Is it possible to rely on thoughts?
"Female donor, if you want to get through here, you just need to pass through our barrier." The monk paused the monk stick in his hand, "However, if we invite you two to come back well prepared, we will not attack you just because they are women. Show mercy."
"Oh... you really still have to fight?" Mai Shutoku was speechless. Aren't you monks? Just recite sutras and not let us pass. Why do you like to fight and kill so much?
Su Enxi retreated into the courtyard: "Ma Yi, please~"
"Hey... I want to ask, if I beat you two, can we all live in this pure land?" Mai Shutoku asked the monk to confirm.
"Yes." The two monks nodded.
"Come on then." Mai Shutoku also took a step back.
In the dilapidated room, the sun shines through the paper windows, creating a mixture of light and shadow.
Mai Shutoku stepped back into the shadows, and her entire figure disappeared almost in an instant.
The two monks looked at each other, held their sticks and stood back to back, getting ready.
Mai Shutoku is hidden in the darkness, and her speaking spirit is Ming Zhao. Although it is daytime, there are shadows everywhere in this dilapidated Zen room, which is perfect for her to play.
She is now thinking about whether she will accidentally kill the two monks in front of her... This is a Buddhist holy land after all, and all she needs to do to pass the level is to defeat them. But the formation of the two monks in front of them cannot be settled casually. If they really start fighting seriously, it will be difficult to stop.
The two swords at his waist were unsheathed.
Two sharp arcs of light struck the two monks.
Suddenly, a huge force came, knocking her back almost instantly.
She took a step back and disappeared into the darkness again, frowning and looking at the two monks holding sticks in front of her.
She saw a bronze luster on them. There was no such thing as iron cloth, golden bell, and so on in this world. She could tell at a glance that this was their spirit of speech.
Bronze throne.
It's even more troublesome now... Mai Shutoku has a headache. She is the worst at dealing with these reckless men, let alone holding back.
"Donor. Try your best."
The two monks seemed to feel some weakness in the attack just now.
To actually hold back in the face of them, this is a bit underestimated.
"Are you serious?" A somewhat teasing voice came from the shadows, "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back when the time comes, but you can bear it."
"The donor's worries are unnecessary."
For some reason, the two monks in front of them seemed extremely confident, as if Mai Shutoku could not hurt them no matter what.
"This is what you said."
A pair of golden boys flashed away in the dark shadows.
"Buzz——"
Then there were bursts of knife sounds.
The buzzing sound reached the two monks from all directions.
they wrinkle
He frowned and looked around, judging where the attack would come from.
"coming!"
A monk suddenly raised his hand and raised his stick above his head.
In just a fraction of a second, they reacted.
"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong."
A cold female voice came.
Two rays of cold light slashed towards the monk's abdomen.
"锵——"
"Tsk!"
Shutoku Mai smacked her lips, sheathed her knife and retreated.
The two monks cooperated very well, and even if one made a mistake, the other would quickly make up for it.
Mai Shutoku's sword was blocked by another monk's stick.
The monk had been inactive before, as if to make up for the empty defensive range of his teammates.
Only now did Mai Shutoku realize that the two monks had not even tried to find her location.
Maybe it's because they really couldn't find her hiding in the darkness using Mingzhao.
The attention of these two people is always on their teammates, it seems... they are one!
It was really troublesome. Mai Shutoku felt unhappy. It was not fair to her to fight two against one, let alone two people who cooperated so well. She looked out of the room with some resentment. The damn fat girl knew how to watch the show and didn't come to help!
"Hmph!" Mai Shutoku snorted, venting all her dissatisfaction on the two monks in front of her.
A sharp breaking sound came.
The expressions on the faces of the two monks changed, here we go again! And it was so fast, even more fierce than the previous attack.
Is it a frontal attack? Some of them couldn't believe it. It was really incomprehensible that the other party with such a weird spirit would choose to break through head-on.
The two sticks were intertwined in front of them, forming a solid defense. The two of them were brothers, and they rarely had the same spirit of speech, the bronze throne. What they were least afraid of was a competition of strength. Want to break through from the front? How can it be?
