Chapter 951: The Beast
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
But I saw a piece of land appear on the red sea, this land is not very big, thousands of acres, I don't know how many thousands of years this place has been deserted, I can vaguely see the broken wall that has collapsed for a long time with stones, and the dilapidated house in which only the ruins and broken walls remain, alone embedded in the red sea, just like a black spot on the surface of the sea.
Suddenly, I heard three sounds of breaking the sky in the sky, and in a flash, I reached the sky above this land, and three figures appeared in the light, which were Ji Liao and others.
Ji Liao's eyes swept over the land under his feet, but he saw that this place was overgrown with weeds, and the traces of people's lives had been gradually erased by the years.
"Amitabha. Seeing this, Shanzhi recited a Buddha name.
"This is the closest place to the place where the demon beast lives, so let's settle here for the time being. Gu Yue said.
Ji Liao couldn't help frowning slightly when he looked at this scene, and he found that the ruins of the houses hidden in the weeds were built in a ring, progressing layer by layer, clustering a dot in the center.
It has been abandoned for so long that all the houses are dilapidated, but in the center there is a well-preserved temple that resembles a memorial service.
"How far is it from where the monsters live? Ji Liao retracted his gaze, looked at Gu Yue and asked.
"That demon beast inhabits the bottom of this evil sea, which is almost two or three hundred miles away from here, so it is safe for us to settle here for a few days, Li Daoyou can rest assured. Gu Yue replied with a smile.
Ji Liao bowed slightly, didn't say much, his figure flashed, and flew towards the complete temple.
Shanzhi followed Ji Liao and fell, while Gu Yue, who was in mid-air, curled her red lips, revealing an intriguing smile, and flew towards the temple with the two of them.
This temple is not big, that is, the size of a mortal ancestral shrine, but the materials used are not extraordinary, the whole body is made of a black crystal stone, and its inner aura is not dispersed, so that it can still stand after many years.
There are no plaques in the temple, and the wooden gates have long since fallen off and collapsed on both sides.
Ji Liao landed at the door of the temple, and behind him was a small overgrown clearing, glanced around, and stepped in.
As soon as I entered the temple, a faint cold air immediately enveloped me, and the light dimmed a lot, even the wide open doors and windows could not make the place brighter and warmer.
Just took a step forward, Ji Liao's footsteps were a meal.
But I saw a black stone statue standing in front of the temple gate.
The statue is also made of the same sparkling stone, carved with a huge, strangely shaped frog.
The frog's two front paws support the front body, showing a sitting posture, revealing a smooth belly, and the opposite of the belly is the frog's back, but I see that the frog's back is covered with fist-sized drums, which looks disgusting, compared to the toad.
The frog's head was raised, but a pair of huge eyes were slightly downward, as if looking at the kneeling crowd below, a gap with an arc outlined the frog's mouth, and two long tongues with the thickness of arms fell on the left and right sides of the frog's mouth, matching with the frog's expression at this moment, it seems that the frog has endless evil charm, and there is a feeling of extreme discomfort just by looking at it.
Ji Liao rubbed his chin and looked at the frog sculpture for a long time before muttering softly, "Beast?"
The beast, the ancient fierce spirit, like a frog, has two tongues, and has highly poisonous poisonous cells on the back, its tongue can strip the soul of the living, and the toxicity spreads to destroy the grass and trees within millions of miles, relying on the evil qi and being born, like to live in a place with a strong evil spirit, like to eat the soul, and can rely on the soul to improve the cultivation realm, which is the most evil evil spirit among the ancient fierce spirits.
Ji Liao had seen a lot of classics that recorded various spirit beasts in the secret pavilion of the Luanniao Clan, and at that time, Ji Liao only glanced at the classics of this beast and didn't read too much, only remembered the image appearance of this beast and a simple introduction to its habits.
"Yo, Daoist friends have seen a lot, and they still recognize such a rare ancient fierce spirit as the beast?" At this time, Gu Yue and Shanzhi also walked in and asked with a smile.
Ji Liao bowed slightly, "I've just seen the classics of this beast, and I don't know much about it." ”
Gu Yue's beautiful eyes flickered twice, and her red lips were sensitive, "This beast likes to eat human souls the most, and it is one of the many evil spirits in the world. ”
Ji Liao took two steps forward, and when he arrived at the sculpture of this beast, in an instant, Ji Liao immediately felt that he was being watched by this beast, frowned, glanced at the statue in front of him, and then landed his gaze on something under the beast.
It was a small stone mill, the color of blue-gray, and it had long been covered with a thick layer of dust, and it had obviously not been touched for a long time.
Ji Liao raised his hand and pointed at it, and the upper layer of the stone mill immediately moved away, and a dark red color immediately appeared on the surface of the lower layer of the stone mill.
But I saw that between the uneven stone mills, the ravines were full of Yin Hong after the blood was dried, because the stone mill had not moved for a long time, so the dried blood in it was preserved.
"Whew..."
Ji Liao blew lightly, and an ethereal breeze immediately erupted from his mouth and swept towards the stone.
In an instant, the dark red of the blood congealed immediately flew up like pieces of flying flotsam, and a complex and ancient spiritual text immediately appeared on the surface of the stone mill.
"Huh, what is this?" Gu Yue's eyes lit up, and when she arrived at Ji Liao's side, she looked at Shi Nian curiously and asked.
Ji Liao touched his chin again, pondered for a while, and then spoke, "It seems that the people who have lived here should be the descendants of this beast, or a race that has made the beast a totem, this stone mill is not big, in my opinion, this stone mill is a thing that uses a newborn baby to sacrifice the beast." ”
"Could it be that the people who lived here before put the newborn babies in this stone mill and sacrificed the beast with blood?" asked Gu Yue.
"It's not blood, it's the soul of a newborn. Ji Liao shook his head slightly, paused and said again, "Although this beast is an evil spirit in the world, it is a living soul that likes to eat clean, and there is no purest and cleaner soul in this world than a newborn's living soul." ”
"Amitabha. Shanzhi on the side heard the recitation of the Buddha's name, sat down cross-legged, and recited the scriptures in his mouth again.
"Ah, that's cruel enough. Gu Yue said.
"Whenever there is a famine in the mortal world, it is the norm to eat living people, and this is nothing. ”
"Daoyou's heart is really ruthless, the little woman can't see it, and she can't hear it. Gu Yue sighed and said.
"This is the way of the world of individual cannibalism, and our creatures are born from calamities, and I think Daoyou should have seen this realm a long time ago. Ji Liao turned his head to look at Gu Yue on the side and said, then asked, "The spirit demon beast you are talking about can't be this beast, right?"
"Exactly!" Gu Yue nodded without hesitation and agreed.
Ji Liao had expected it and was not too surprised.
The good wisdom who was chanting the sutra on the side paused slightly, and soon continued to chant again.
"Daoyou didn't say it before, the spirit demon beast is a beast, do you think that Shanzhi and I will escape from the battle?"
Gu Yuexiao's nose wrinkled, and she didn't deny it, "The last time I came here, someone recognized the beast and ran away, and we failed, otherwise this spirit beast would have been killed by us last time." ”
Ji Liao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shanzhi who was pretending to be in a posture, "I think Daoist friends are too worried." ”
After a pause, he continued, "Fix for the day today, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning." ”
After that, without waiting for Gu Yue to say anything more, he walked out, and when he arrived at the door of the temple, Ji Liao's footsteps stopped, and then his cold voice sounded again, "Whoever dares to probe me tonight, I will let him not see the sun tomorrow." ”
And the figure disappeared.
