It’s still the forest that is about to wither, and it’s still the two familiar figures...
"Xiao Qing, do me a favor!"
Xiaoqing looked at Pei Wende with a playful smile, then glanced at the huge grave pit dug on the spot, and finally transformed back into his original body of more than 20 meters long as if he accepted his fate.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xiaoqing, who revealed his original form, first slapped several nearby big trees with his tail.
After that, they circled in place twice more before throwing them into the big pit that Pei Wende had just dug.
Overlapping horizontally and vertically, forming a well shape...
In less than a minute, Xiaoqing built a simple square tomb in this tomb.
"hiss……"
Until Xiaoqing turned around and stared at Pei Wende again, although she didn't speak, Pei Wende still heard the meaning of the scream.
"Enough is enough!"
Not daring to make any more demands, Pei Wende quickly picked up the flying corpse and threw it into the newly constructed tomb.
Then it was a simple matter of filling the pit with soil. With Xiao Qing's help, Pei Wende quickly buried the body in the tomb.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Is this the final destination of this body?"
A moment later, when Pei Wende stood on the edge of the tomb with his hands clasped together, looking at the rough "wooden tablet" in front of him, he felt a sincere emotion in his heart.
"No matter how powerful you were during your lifetime, won't you be buried in the earth and your soul will return to the Nine Netherworld after death?"
Not wanting to end up like a flying corpse, Pei Wende, who has lived in two lifetimes, became more determined at this moment to "practice and seek the Tao."
But this time, in addition to completely controlling his own destiny, Pei Wende also had a desire to live forever.
"Amitabha!"
As Pei Wende recited a Buddha's name in a low voice, the rosary made of relics seemed to be sensing something, emitting a faint Buddha's light.
"hiss……"
Seeing this, Xiao Qing knew that Pei Wende had finally fully mastered the magical power of the mantra.
At the same time, this also means that this young man who has always disliked others seeing him as a "monk" has finally accepted his identity as a Buddhist disciple.
"Are you planning to become a monk?"
Not knowing what kind of mentality he had, Xiaoqing looked at Pei Wende who seemed to have an epiphany, and suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"A monk?"
Hearing this, Pei Wende was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"Why should I become a monk when I am alone?"
Just like what Pei Wende said, if there is no "family", how can we say "monk"?
"What's more, my fate with Buddhism may have been forged earlier."
When he said this, Pei Wende remembered his own mantra of "Mighty Heavenly Dragon".
Because just now, Pei Wende finally remembered why he felt this mantra was so familiar.
That was clearly the mantra of the handsome Fa Hai in his previous life movie "Green Snake", and it was also his most glorious performance when he fought with the two green and white snakes at Jinshan Temple.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is a ready-made green snake in front of me?
Does this mean that I have already become connected with my Buddha in some unknown way?
"Let's go! We've been down the mountain for so long, it's time to go back."
Walking up to Xiao Qing with a smile, Pei Wende skillfully stretched out his arm to signal to the other party that it was getting late.
"hiss……"
Seeing this, Xiaoqing's eyes moved slightly, and then he turned into a small snake about a foot long and wrapped around the opponent's arm.
"Don't forget the feast you promised before..."
"Also, I read a book about the 'Book of Songs' yesterday, and there were two sentences in it that I couldn't quite understand..."
The sound gradually became smaller, and the figures of Pei Wende and Xiao Qing also drifted away, and soon disappeared into the depths of the forest, leaving the nameless cemetery alone in silence in the wind.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
swish swish...
In the silent forest, the branches sway constantly with the sound of wind.
"You still can't get rid of it after all?"
After confirming that Pei Wende had really left, an old sigh suddenly echoed on the nameless cemetery.
Immediately afterwards, a black lotus shrunk countless times floated out from the depths of the cracked earth and floated in front of a simple wooden "tombstone".
"Did you see something? That's why you destroyed Black Lotus so decisively?"
As the voice gradually became clearer, the shadow entrenched in the center of the black lotus gradually emerged. It was the thousand-year soul of the old demon of the Sophora Tree.
It's just that the old Sophora Tree Demon's current state is much worse than before.
Not only was its body destroyed and its soul disintegrated, but the Black Lotus it had always wanted to get rid of was still following it like a tarsal insect.
"I have guarded the 'Jiuyou Portal' for hundreds of years. There is no merit but hard work, right?"
With an old and sad voice, the old locust tree demon made no secret of his hatred and helplessness towards Black Lotus.
"Why do you still refuse to let me go even though I have chosen to destroy my body and free my soul?"
Taking away his inner elixir and trapping his soul, just to let himself guard the black lotus, the old demon of the Sophora Tree had long been fed up with this prisoner-like life.
For this reason, the old demon of the locust tree even spreads rumors such as "Black Lotus can resurrect the dead", just to attract coveters who want to resurrect the dead.
A large part of the rumor that the old woman heard before was born under this situation.
The old demon of the locust tree does not deny that he was once planted with a green-threaded poison by a witch, nor does he deny that he has indeed visited Fengdu Ghost City...
But the old demon of the locust tree concealed the most important point. Black Lotus has no ability to resurrect the dead. It is just a portal connecting Jiuyou.
If the old locust tree demon's plan succeeds, it can completely seize the bodies of those strong men and end its hundreds of years of imprisonment.
Even if the plan fails, it can still use the power of those strong people to break away from the shackles of the black lotus for a short time and gain the freedom of its soul - just like what happened to Feizhigan.
Of course, the flying corpse completely smashed the black lotus into pieces, which was a bit beyond the imagination of the old demon Huaishu.
It just wanted to take advantage of the gap between the two fighting to release its soul and get rid of the shackles of the black lotus.
However, the power of Black Lotus was much stronger than the old demon of the Sophora Tree had imagined.
Even if it is torn into countless pieces by the power of ghosts and gods, because there are still remnants of the old locust tree demon's body, it can still be reborn again with the help of itself.
"Well, luckily it's not too bad."
The old locust tree demon whose soul was trapped in the black lotus sighed silently and could only comfort himself in this way.
After all, even if Black Lotus is reborn, its power will be greatly weakened in a short period of time, giving him enough time to activate other backup plans.
"Reincarnation and re-cultivation? I didn't expect that I would have to take this road in the end..."
In the low voice of the old locust tree demon, there was a sudden crunching sound on its withered body, and then a green bud emerged from it.
"Lingyou, you spared my life in the first place because you didn't want Black Lotus to reopen the Nine Nether Passage."
"I never thought that your disciple would help me get rid of this fate."
"It's a pity that his extra 'compassionate heart' ultimately made me fail, just like you did back then."
