Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Boundary Monument

When Jueyuan said this, my heart was nervous for a while, but then I was relieved, what should come will always come, and the importance to face must be faced, what do I have to care about?

This thought relieved my nervousness, my blood was heating slightly, and I fell into a strange tranquility, until Jueyuan called me, and I came back to my senses from this emotion.

"Chengyi, come and take a look, the so-called boundary monument is also a kind of scenery, of course, if this is not a small hell." Jueyuan said this to me.

I lazily stretched my waist, walked to Jueyuan's side, and watched Hui Gen'er row a small boat close to a small island, shrouded in misty fog, and I couldn't see clearly, until I was really less than ten meters away from the island, I saw that in the middle of this small island, there was a huge stone monument, just like those deliberately enlarged and carved statues, which made people have a feeling of looking up.

This is enough to show the huge size of this stele, and this stele is unpretentious, without any decoration, and on the stele, there are only two ancient texts carved that I don't know, which makes me feel very surprised, after all, following the master, I have come into contact with more words.

"These two ancient texts are relatively rare, I heard that it is a symbol that belongs to Taoist civilization, but in fact, the meaning is really simple, it is the word boundary monument." Jueyuan explained to me next to me.

And I was shocked in my heart, if this is really the case, such a rare text, how long should this place exist? But the secrets of antiquity are no longer beyond the reach of my generation.

While Jueyuan and I were talking, the boat was slowly approaching the island, and I asked Huigen'er, "Tired?" Want to take a break? ”

Hui Gen'er shook her head and said, "No, Teacher Jueyuan asked me to park the boat here." ”

"After the boundary marker, you must go on foot, this is the rule, you can never get behind the boundary marker if you row a small boat." Jueyuan explained to me that it was amazing.

But it's still within my acceptability, after all, I've encountered such a scene before, that is, that time to participate in the real secret ghost market!

At first, I was worried that the boat would tie us down, and when I really wanted to leave the boat, the whole person seemed to be stripped of a layer of security, and the moment I stood on the island, I felt that my legs were a little weak, and I couldn't help but keep looking in the direction of the boat.

Jueyuan saw us standing at the entrance of the island, close to his own boat, originally wanted to comfort us and say don't be nervous, but he himself was no better, after a moment of silence, Jueyuan suddenly said to us: "This is also the second time I set foot on this entrance island, the first time was when I first came here, Dingyuan told me that I always have to come to worship the mountain, and the people who come here, whether it is a monk or a Taoist, always come to worship this boundary monument first." ”

After saying this, Jueyuan first made a Buddhist bow towards the boundary monument, and after the salute, he looked at us and smiled, showing a mouthful of beautiful white teeth, and said, "Come and worship too?" I don't know anywhere else, but I do know that on this small island, outside the boundary monuments, it is perfectly safe. ”

Since it is the rule here, we naturally can not shirk, we have in turn in accordance with the highest etiquette of the door to worship the boundary monument, it is amazing that this boundary monument at first look ordinary, but do not want to worship after the visit, but feel a vicissitudes, ancient atmosphere and aura, let people reverence.

I have experienced this kind of aura in the outer wall of the Dragon Tomb, but compared to this boundary monument, the long outer wall feels a little less imposing, and I don't understand.

After worshipping the boundary monument, I realized that this small island was very strange, almost a rocky island with no grass, but where we anchored the boat, there was a wooden stake pestle that tied the boat.

Tao Bai walked over, tied the boat to the stake, and Jueyuan said very calmly: "Tie the boat here, even if the sky falls, the boat will not be lost." Of course, this is the classic record of our lineage, I don't know if it's true or not, after all, there is only one person in our lineage who enters the island. ”

I don't know if Jueyuan's words are hitting me or comforting me, so I glanced at him angrily, but saw that Jueyuan was already walking ahead.

There is only one road on the whole island, winding in the direction of the boundary monument, and the fog here seems to be thicker than the fog in other places, and our group walked on this winding path, just a meter apart, and we almost couldn't see the people in front of us.

The shape of the island is like an inverted bowl, the altitude of the whole island is not very high, and it will not take half an hour to reach the top with the winding path slowly going up, and the peak is where the boundary monument is located.

When I arrived at this location, there was some wind inexplicably, the wind blew some fog, and the visibility was a little higher, and I found that there were also some plants growing on the top of the island, and the dead grass with strange shapes was also grown. ”

Yes, I had already noticed that it was just ordinary dead grass, but upon closer inspection, the lines on it vaguely formed the appearance of a human face.

Since he said this, Brother Chengxin couldn't help but speak: "Jueyuan, what happened to the water area we first entered?" I mean the flowers! I once flipped through an old classic, and I read it as an anecdote about the history of the wilderness. There is a description of the plants of hell, and there is a saying that people only know the flowers of the other side, but they do not know that the flowers of the other side are only the most common plants in hell, and in hell, there are actually many plants. For example, in the deep pool of hell there is a lotus flower, and the fragrance of this lotus flower is the most powerful poison of the soul! It can induce the deepest emotions and deepest wounds in the soul, and it can also cause the soul to fall into a slow long sleep, and finally in the cycle of long sleep, forget everything and return to nothingness. ”

Brother Chengxin said this, compared to me, it really looks like the weird flower we met when we first entered, but, when you think about it, the power is just like this, is it worthy of being called the most powerful soul poison in hell?

Jueyuan heard Brother Chengxin's words, but he didn't have time to answer for the first time, but took us a few steps quickly and came to the bottom of the boundary monument.

"Here, under the influence of inexplicability, even the time is not accurate. However, after many years of regular life, the biological clock in my body is extremely prepared. If the estimate is correct, there are still about 5 hours left, that is, at dawn, when the rooster crows. Let's cross the boundary after that. This kind of time is not good for us. ”

After speaking, Jueyuan sat cross-legged under the stone stele, and we also walked over, although there was a slight cool breeze on the top of this peak, but the strange thing is that under this boundary monument is the warmest place since we entered the natural array, where there is a peaceful temperature, which makes people comfortable, with a mysterious, simple, vicissitudes of life, with a strange sense of security.

"Here, in fact, it is safer than staying on a ship, and you can rest all night without dreams. And when you cross the boundary marker, you should see something different. Jueyuan said calmly.

In fact, this feeling does not need to be elaborated on, we can also understand it, after packing up the luggage we were carrying, our group decided to rest here, it is a normal person, and we really will not choose to enter the ghost town in such a big night.

In response to Brother Chengxin's question, Jueyuan also gave an answer: "The kind of flower you have encountered has always been here, and it can be said that it is the most dangerous existence in the wild here." Don't forget, this place is known as a small hell, even if it can't bloom the real Hell Lotus, under the influence of Yin Qi, ordinary aquatic plants will also produce bad mutations, the most different thing is that this flower is parasitic with good and confused ghosts! And it is only with a certain amount of confusion that a powerful ghost can parasitize it, and there is more than one, so to speak, do you understand? ”

"I understand, you said, every grass and tree here may have spirit parasites, and we probably understand. I just don't understand, why as soon as we enter here, we encounter strong winds and waves, and even drift in front of that kind of flower, are we unlucky? Xiao Chengqian lay on the ground with his head resting on his luggage, he was still angry in the end.

Jueyuan didn't speak this time, and subconsciously glanced at the other side of the boundary monument, where the thick fog was churning, where could you see anything? However, looking at Jueyuan's slightly worried eyes, I understood one of the meanings.

Don't you know who is giving us a beating? But what is the explanation for the strange purple color on top of the plant? I don't think I can even answer this Jueyuan, right?

This night, the rest is very good, when I fell asleep, I also heard Jueyuan talking to Hui Gen'er about the grass here, saying that the grass under the boundary monument is the luckiest grass, and the spirit body that can possess it is the luckiest spirit, and as the years go by, you can see the grass pattern that was originally an angry and distorted face, and it will slowly become peaceful, even with a compassionate smile, until the grass pattern completely disappears, which is a kind of transcendence, which is the ability of the boundary monument

It was a truly strange thing, and I fell into a deep sleep at the thought of it, and the aura of the ancient smell surrounded me all the time, just like the place where man first came, the womb of a mother, and like the final destination of man, full of peace.

This night, I slept dreamless until I was far away, and I slept more soundly than I did in the lake village.

"It's time to go." Jueyuan said this to me.
