Ren Qing was used to seeing monsters and monsters, but seeing such a bloody and horrific scene, he still couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Ci Shi... Ci Shi... what do these two words mean?"
As he continued walking for a few miles, the corpses he encountered became more and more mutilated, and gradually began to show signs of being gnawed by fangs, and many of the corpses even had their internal organs hollowed out.
Ren Qing was not surprised by this. If a gloomy and terrifying environment like the bottomless abyss was just littered with corpses, it would be too abnormal.
He carefully observed the tooth marks, and the more he looked at them, the more they looked like they were caused by human bites.
And the opponent's strength is not ordinary. He can bite off the thigh bone to suck out the bone marrow, even if the mountain tiger has to bite his teeth.
Chen Changsheng must have encountered some strange thing in the bottomless pit, and after discovering the secret contained therein, he came up with the idea of "not going deep into it", which shows that the bottomless pit is by no means simple.
Ren Qing became more vigilant, observing the surroundings through Chongtong, and noticed a large number of claw marks on the rock wall.
Presumably, the strange thing should be crawling on the flat ground with its limbs. Only hanging in the air in a bottomless pit is actually a safer way.
Seeing this, Ren Qing did not hesitate and summoned the ghost ship directly from the Eternal Prison.
Although the ghost ship is most suitable for traveling in the desert, after being promoted to the ghost realm, relying on the bow of Kunpeng can already fly in the air.
In addition, there is a ghost ship possessed by a ghost, and it is undoubtedly a duck to water in the dark.
Ren Qing covered the ghost ship with Wugui the moment it appeared, but the unique aura of the ghost ship leaked out and still caused movement.
There was a strange rustling sound in the distance, and a very strange murmur could be vaguely heard echoing, as if something was being recited.
Ren Qing narrowed his eyes, used his legs to jump to the deck of the ghost ship.
He could detect that the aura emitted by the strange thing was very strange, with an inexplicably familiar smell, but he couldn't find what it was.
Ren Qing did not rush to let the ghost ship leave the ground, but quietly waited for the strange thing to approach.
However, because there was no bloody smell of fresh corpses around, the black shadow seemed to be planning to stay away, and the murmurs became fainter.
Ren Qing endured the heartache, took out some flesh and blood and threw it within a hundred meters, staring at the black shadow with wide eyes, trying to see clearly what was true and what was true.
Click, click, click...
The footsteps came closer and closer, and the murmur suddenly became very loud. It seemed to be a kind of scripture mixed with a local accent, but I couldn't make out the reason.
A humanoid monster cautiously came to the flesh, looked around with its eyes, bit the flesh and dragged it deep into the darkness.
There is a half-meter-sized mass of deformed flesh on the back of its crest. It is not as skinless as the main body, and looks like a statue sitting cross-legged.
The only facial features of the statue were its mouth, which kept opening and closing, and the murmuring sound actually came from the statue on the back of the monster's spine.
It's incredible.
The monster moved as if it were carrying a statue, and its posture was extremely weird.
Ren Qingtong's hole was enlarged, something suddenly occurred to his mind, and he suddenly understood why Chen Changsheng left the bottomless abyss.
He did not hesitate to signal the ghost to take action and swallow the monster directly into his body.
The other monsters were frightened and wanted to escape, but they were all taken away by the ghosts one by one, and then the latter returned to Ren Qing's feet.
The ghost ship has feather-like patterns everywhere. Although it has not completely turned into a jailer, it is still no problem to borrow Kunpeng's ability.
Ren Qing's perspective gradually rose into the sky, and the hurricane blowing towards him was like a sharp knife.
His mind was already focused on that weird and inexplicable monster, so he couldn't wait to walk into the cabin and lit a candle for lighting.
There are ghost shadows that close the doors and windows, and the light in the cabin does not penetrate to the outside world.
Ren Qing pushed open the table and chair and took out the monster carrying the statue from the ghost body. The unpleasant rotten stench filled the air.
It tried its best to struggle, but the ghost had already locked its muscles and bones.
Ren Qing observed carefully. The monster was obviously formed by some kind of transformation from the corpse. Apart from the flesh and blood statue growing from the back, it was actually the same as the corpse in the bottomless abyss.
The flesh and blood statue is somewhat similar to a Buddha statue, but its appearance is too immature.
The reason why the monster can come back to life is probably because of the flesh and blood statue, which must contain Cishi's secrets.
Ren Qing released the other monsters.
There were three of them, and they all looked like they were skinned when they died. However, the statues of the remaining two monsters grew in different places.
The statue of a monster grows on the sole of the foot, so it is dragged along by heavy objects when crawling.
The other one grows on the neck, causing the head to be distorted by the pressure of the statue. The bones inside are squeezed into a ball and may break at any time.
Ren Qing felt that the statue was very similar to the Buddha statue, and he couldn't help but feel afraid.
I'm afraid that after Chen Changsheng discovered the monster, he realized that it might involve Buddhism and immediately left the bottomless abyss, not daring to go deeper.
But what puzzles Ren Qing is why the flesh and blood statues grow in different places?
After he touched the monster with his hand, he immediately summoned the information flow. This time, a lot of content was finally revealed, but the information contained was horrifying to think about.
【Buddha Corpse】
[It is formed from the condensed Maitreya skin meridian. Eating it will cause skin changes. After taking the precepts for a thousand days, you will eventually become a Buddha. 】
Ren Qing muttered to himself: "Which god and Buddha is involved, Maitreya? Cishi?"
"Damn it, it can't be her..."
There are no Buddhist temples in Xiangxiang, and there are no Buddhist temples in Jingzhou either. However, Jingzhou may have spread stories about gods and Buddhas because of its proximity to the Ci family.
Even many Buddhist festivals are openly disguised as Taoist festivals, but Jingzhou people still hold them on time every year.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
Ren Qing knew the weirdness of Buddhist magic and deliberately enriched his knowledge in this area, especially those who were familiar with the Buddha.
"Maitreya" mostly refers to Maitreya Buddha, but if you add the word "Ci Shi", I'm afraid there is only "Maitreya Bodhisattva, the Great Compassion".
There is also a saying among the people that the two Buddhas are actually one.
Ren Qing had no way of verifying it. After all, when Song Zong Wudang was a monk, he was just a novice monk and had not even read a few scriptures.
There are limited records of the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva, so this is the summary.
"The first Buddha passed away and was born in the inner courtyard of Tusita Heaven."
"When he was four thousand years old, he was reborn in the human world and attained perfect enlightenment under the Longhua tree in Hualin Garden. Maitreya, who had just passed away, attained the Samadhi of Loving Kindness while serving as a Buddha, so he was called Cishi."
It is said that there are dozens or even hundreds of Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, but if you want to choose eight among them, there must be the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva.
Ren Qing didn't know that Cishi was actually related to the existence of the Bodhisattva Fruit.
Take Song Zongwu as an example. He was about to be tortured to death by the Immovable Sutra he had mastered.
If the Shura method created by the unknown monk could barely suppress the Buddhist method, he might have become a member of the Hundred Buddhas.
But even so, the Hundred Buddhas picture behind Song Zongwu is actually only ninety-seven, representing the practitioners who have been swallowed up by the Luohan in the past.
Considering the terrifying level of the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva, there must be at least seven or eight hundred statues in the Hundred Buddhas Picture, which is not far from the Tathagata in the Thousand Buddhas Picture.
Ren Qing's face was gloomy and he wanted to run away on the spot.
But when he thought about Buddhism being countless times gentler than Demons and Blood Moon, and mainly focusing on refuge, he suddenly calmed down again.
"Something's wrong, something very wrong."
According to Song Zongwu, the conditions for practicing the Immovable Sutra are extremely harsh, and not all monks can become disciples of the Buddha.
The inheritance of the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva can only be stricter, so why are there tens of thousands of inexplicably dead bodies in the bottomless abyss?
Ren Qing looked at the three Buddha corpses, then turned the ghost shadow into a blade, peeling off the flesh and blood statues from their bodies bit by bit.
The Buddha's corpse shook violently, and as the flesh and blood statue was cut off, the putrid smell intensified, and soon it stopped moving.
Ren Qing used the information flow to check again, and the result turned out to be an ordinary corpse again.
The flesh and blood statue also began to shrink, and the low murmur turned into a sharp roar, as if the body and soul were being held on a flame and roasted in pain.
After a while, the flesh and blood statue turned into a piece of human skin the size of a fingernail.
Ren Qing picked up the human skin and looked at it. Maybe some of it was left behind when the corpse was skinned, and it eventually grew into a flesh and blood statue.
【Buddha skin】
[It is formed from the condensed Maitreya skin meridian. Eating it will cause skin changes. After taking the precepts for a thousand days, you will eventually become a Buddha. 】
"The culprit is a piece of human skin?"
"What happened to the corpse before it was alive?"
"What kind of monster would it be if the corpse had its skin intact?"
Ren Qing was full of doubts. Ci's situation was definitely not normal. There might be some kind of problem with the Buddhist inheritance there.
It may also be caused by the disciples of the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva.
He thought for a long time and decided to go to Cishi. After all, other areas may not be safe. At least he knew Buddhism.
It is not difficult to achieve perfection in Buddhist magic, but perfection is equivalent to the end, and everything in oneself will return to the Hundred Buddhas.
Never mind how powerful the Buddha's son becomes as the Buddha after he attains enlightenment.
In just a hundred years, he will become a member of the Buddha's image behind his back, suffer the pain of eternal imprisonment, and will not be able to be reincarnated for tens of millions of years.
Ren Qing knew that Chen Changsheng came to the Bottomless Cave hundreds of years ago and it was like this, which meant that the abnormality was not caused by the disciples of the Great Merciful Maitreya Bodhisattva who had achieved enlightenment, but that it had been going on for a long time.
In his opinion, if he practices Buddhist magic, even if he can survive ten lives, he will inevitably fall into madness.
Ren Qing took a long, deep breath and controlled the ghost ship to sail firmly towards Cishi.
At the same time, he began to actively observe various types of Buddha corpses and found that the longer the Buddha corpses survived, the larger the flesh and blood statues became.
The movements of the Buddha's corpse became more and more agile, but there was nothing special about the rest.
In addition to the skinned Buddha corpse, there is also a kind of bone-drawn Buddha corpse in the bottomless abyss. The place where the flesh and blood statue grows is in the body.
It should be that the bone residue was left behind when the corpse was extracted, which resulted in it turning into a Buddha corpse.
The stream appears slightly different.
【Buddha Corpse】
[It is made from the Maitreya White Bone Sutra. Eating it will cause bone degeneration. After taking the precepts for a thousand days, you will eventually become a Buddha. 】
Only then did Ren Qing determine that the Maitreya White Bone Sutra and the Maitreya Skin Sutra were not real Buddhist techniques and might have been derived from them.
Under the premise of ensuring that the ghost ship was not exposed, he took the initiative to use Buddha energy to erode the skin, thereby enhancing the resistance of the original fetal membrane to Buddha energy.
Maybe the Buddha Qi is of higher quality and the speed of resistance improvement is not fast.
Ren Qing had no choice but to slow down his journey to the bottomless abyss and try to let the resistance of the original fetal membrane's Buddha energy reach a certain level before making preparations to go to Cishi.
