Chapter 266 The Great Demon
Just as Dongfang Mo turned around and was about to rush into the stone gate, he felt a sudden tightening around his waist.

Without any resistance at all, he found his body soaring into the air, and as he moved at a high speed, a gust of wind whizzed by his ears.

His body cannot be controlled, the only thing he can do is to clench his teeth.

Fortunately, the gust of wind only roared for three or two breaths, and then stopped.

Suddenly, Dongfang Mo could clearly feel that his body was fixed in the air.

The next moment, he raised his head as if he had sensed something.

In front of him, there seemed to be two huge lanterns emitting two fiery red lights.

Dongfang Mo narrowed his eyes and took a look, then he gasped directly.

"hiss!"

Because of the two black pupils in the two "lanterns", suddenly condensed.

And the focus of the pupils was instantly covering him.

Under these two gazes, Dongfang Mo's soul was constantly trembling.It seemed that as long as this gaze flickered for a moment, his spirit would immediately collapse.

I don't know if he has adapted to the darkness around him, or there is a faint light around him.

A huge silhouette gradually became clear and appeared in front of him.

This outline is more than ten feet high, and its appearance is extremely rough and strong.

Except for the red light from the two lantern-sized eyes on the head, the whole body was pitch black.

As time passed, after a few breaths, the outline finally appeared before his eyes.

But when he saw the appearance of this behemoth, he couldn't help but suffocate.

In front of him was a monster that looked like a monkey.

This monster has sharp mouthed monkey cheeks, wrinkled and flushed cheeks.The forehead is high and protruding, and the eyes are deeply sunken.

The black hair is extremely thick, and the surface even faintly reflects a black light.

Around its neck, a string of huge beads dangled, and a worn canvas slung across its shoulders, looking a bit nondescript.

Moreover, this monster seems to be squatting on the ground. If it stood up completely, it would probably be no lower than twenty feet.

What is even more unbelievable is that on the left and right sides of this bureaucrat, there is a tall stone pillar with a thickness of about ten feet.

There are also many complex runes engraved on the stone pillars.

The wrist of his left hand and the ankle of his left foot each wear an iron ring of corresponding size.A thick silver iron chain was connected to the iron ring, and the other end of the iron chain was tied to the stone pillar about ten feet thick on the left side of it.

The same is true for his right hand and right foot, bound to the stone pillar on the right.

But what is worth noting is that it pinched Dongfang Mo's right hand. Although the iron ring on his wrist was still there, the iron chain had been broken by it at some point, and there was a section of seven or eight feet hanging vertically in front of it.

Seeing the monster that suddenly appeared in front of him, Dongfang Mo was shocked, but at a loss.

But in the next moment, the monster's originally calm expression, whether it was because he hadn't seen a living thing for a long time, the eyes watching him became extremely excited.

And this excitement, then turned into excitement, and finally turned into madness like a demon.

The rosacea in the sky kept panting. At first, there were two cold winds, and after a while, they turned into two heat waves. The heat waves sprayed on Dongfang Mo's body, making him feel like he was in the flames.

At the same time, this official's originally black hair added a kind of magical brilliance that made people tremble.Dongfang Mo felt that the body grasped by it began to tighten suddenly.

"Kakkaka!"

Just for a moment, his body, which he thought was strong, was crushed by the monster, and his bones made a sound of being overwhelmed.And it feels like the internal organs are about to be squeezed.

An abnormal flush appeared on Dongfang Mo's face, and his expression couldn't help changing wildly.

But now in this situation, he has nothing to do, because facing this monster, he is like an ant facing an elephant, and the difference in strength between the two sides is like a natural moat.

"what!"

He shouted violently, even though the gap between the two was unspeakable, he still wanted to struggle to the death and would never give up lightly.

But in an instant, his expression twisted.

The pressure on his body prevented him from breathing.Blood flowed out of the seven orifices immediately, and the appearance was extremely miserable.

What was even more frightening was that the monster suddenly opened its mouth, revealing four sharp fangs.

With the next breath, he was sent to his mouth.

A panic appeared in Dongfang Mo's heart. If he was swallowed by this monster, how could he have a chance of surviving.

But what made him desperate was that even if he tried his best, he still couldn't break free.The palm of this monster is as unbreakable as iron tongs.

At the very moment, just when he was about to be stuffed into his mouth by this staff member, this staff member's fierce eyes looked at him, seemingly penetrating his body unintentionally, and found a shriveled lotus seed in his spiritual sea.

At this moment, the monster's ferocious expression froze, and its movements suddenly stopped.

Not only that, but the hair that exudes jet-black magic light all over his body turned into golden after three or two breaths.

The string of beads around its neck, as well as the canvas draped over its shoulders, also exude a golden aura.

Only then did Dongfang Mo realize that the beads seemed to be a string of Buddhist beads, and the canvas was a cassock.

The maddened look of being possessed by a demon suddenly became calm.For some reason, the originally ferocious cheeks gave off a sacred sense of Buddha nature.

Dongfang Mo suddenly felt his body loosen from the monster's grip.

"call!"

In an instant, under the long squeeze, he was finally able to breathe, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.The purple complexion also began to gradually recover.

Following that, the monster lowered its right hand, gently released him, and then let go.

Dongfang Mo stood on the ground, staggered back a few steps, and planted the root of immortality on the ground, and then stood still.

Now his internal organs have been damaged, and cracks have even appeared in his bones.Fortunately, he has a strong physical body, so he can support it hard.

"Amitabha!"

He only heard a deep Buddha's name, which suddenly echoed in the surrounding open space.

Dongfang Mo suddenly raised his head, and looked at the monkey-like monster in front of him in disbelief, because the Buddha's name just now came from his mouth.

"Sin of sin!"

Not only that, but the monster put his palms together, looked at him and performed a Buddha ceremony.

Dongfang Mo was out of breath, looked at it with an uncertain expression, but didn't speak.

He had clearly felt it before, and there was a demonic nature emanating from this monster that made him tremble.

But at this time, he really felt a trace of Buddha nature from him that no one dared to desecrate.Really incredible.

"Cough cough..."

After coughing for a while, he forcibly swallowed back a mouthful of blood, and then said:

"Dare to ask who you are!"

"The poor monk's Dharma name is Kuzang!"

The monster spoke.

"Bitter hiding?"

Dongfang Mo frowned, trying to figure out something from these two words.

"The name is just a code name, don't worry too much about it."

"It's just that the poor monk didn't expect to meet a right and predestined person at the wrong time and in the wrong place."

"Anyone?"

Dongfang Mo was even more puzzled.

"That's right, I don't think the benefactor has a predestined relationship with my Buddha, and he can still have a lotus, one of the eight treasures of my Buddhism, on his body. It really is a deep connection with the Buddha."

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo was startled suddenly, and then remembered the shriveled lotus seed that had been silent in his spiritual sea for many years.

He immediately guessed that it was possible that this monster would put away its ferocity before, and even turn from a demon to a Buddha.Perhaps it was the discovery of a lotus in his body that saved his life.

It's just that he really didn't expect that this vicious looking monster, judging from its claim, turned out to be a monk.

When I knew him, he was always bald and looked like an accomplished monk, which was very different.

"Hehe, this is related to an adventure in Xiaodao in the early years. Don't mention it, I dare to ask Master Kuzang why he is here!"

After thinking about it in Dongfang Mo's mind, he opened his mouth and said.

"Why are you here? Hey..."

Just heard the monster sigh.

"It seems that the master has an unspeakable secret. Xiaodao was too abrupt just now. I hope the master will not blame him."

Dongfang Mo bowed his hands and saluted.

In this situation, if he retreated and fled directly, not to mention that he would face three blood clan leaders.What he was even more afraid of was whether this monkey-like monster would show its demonic power again and swallow him in one gulp.

Therefore, it is better to stay here and face it with courage for the time being.At least for now, he is not in any danger.

"Hehe, since the almsgiver has a predestined relationship with my Buddha, it's okay for the poor monk to tell you. It's just because the poor monk's sins are too serious, so he is here to atone for his sins."

"Atonement!"

Dongfang Mo's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously looked at the iron chains that bound the monster's hands and legs.

From the looks of it, this monster should be imprisoned here.

But who did this?

"Could it be the ancestor of the blood race?"

Dongfang Mo guessed in his heart.

But he shook his head and felt that it didn't look like it.After all, according to the rumors, the ancestor of the blood race should not do anything to make people atone for their sins.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered that he had heard people talking about it before, and that the Blood Demon Palace seemed to be related to a mysterious force.As for who this mysterious force is, no one can say clearly.

Could it be that the mysterious force is just this monkey-like monster?

"What sin did the master atone for?"

Can't think of an answer, just listen to him speak again.

"Atonement for the unpardonable sin!"

said the monster.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo rubbed his chin and secretly speculated.

After a moment of contemplation, the monster continued:
"The poor monk thought that if he was imprisoned here, he could stop fighting with the world and devote himself to goodness and Buddha. However, the devil is a devil. I don't want to kill, but killing always accompany me. The crime of the poor monk is unforgivable."

After saying that, there were faint tears in the monster's eyes.

Taking a closer look at the meaning of his words, for some reason, Dongfang Mo suddenly thought of the blood monks who died on the seventh floor, and the clansmen of all ethnic groups who were left with shriveled corpses in the cages on the sixth floor.

He even thought of the massacre of the human race and the blood race on Bone Mountain a hundred years ago.And under the bone mountain, the vast blood lake.

Since this monster said that killing is always accompanied by it, could all these have something to do with it!
When Dongfang Mo raised his head and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the corner of the monster's mouth, his body trembled violently.

It was because there was a streak of blood remaining at the corner of the monster's mouth.

He had an intuition that the bright red blood was definitely not his own.

The blood monks on the seventh floor lost their blood essence.

The imprisoned monks on the sixth floor also lost their blood.

The vast blood lake disappeared, leaving only a piece of sand.

Looking at the bright red corner of this official's mouth again, a creepy guess emerged in Dongfang Mo's heart.

"Hehehe, the benefactor has an exquisite heart, very transparent."

The monster seemed to laugh at itself, then looked at Dongfang Mo and said meaningfully.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo's expression changed drastically. How could he not hear the monster's words? It was the answer to his guess.

I'm afraid that all the blood has entered the stomach of this official.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel panic again.

In the face of this monster-like existence, he absolutely has no power to resist.Therefore, the figure will retreat unknowingly.

"The benefactor doesn't need to panic. Although the poor monk is a demon, because the lotus in the benefactor's body has awakened the last trace of Buddha nature in the poor monk's body, so you don't have to worry about your safety for the time being."

"However, it may not be known for a while."

Dongfang Mo's heart just relaxed a bit, but the monster's next words seemed to pour cold water on him.

"Great... what does the master mean, you will step into the magic path again in a short time?"

"Amitabha."

The monster uttered the Buddha's name again.

Hearing this, Dongfang Mo's expression became extremely ugly.

From all kinds of words, he has gradually deduced that this monkey-like monster was originally a big devil who killed people without blinking an eye, and was imprisoned here later.Wanting to make it devote itself to the Buddha and reform itself is also what it calls redemption.

But now it seems that if you don't become a Buddha, you will become a demon again.

"Originally, I still had a glimmer of hope to suppress my demon nature. After all, I put down the butcher knife back then, and now I have persisted in confession for countless years, although I have struggled during the period."

Having said this, the monster looked at the broken iron chain on its right hand.

Then he turned his head to look at the stone gate opened by Dongfang Mo, and said bitterly:

"But once this door is opened, there is no hope."

It seemed that after the stone gate was broken, the last persistence in its heart was also broken.

After his words fell, Dongfang Mo bit his lips tightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, I heard him speak in a straight voice:
"The monks are compassionate, and the path is now in deep danger. I implore the master to point out a way out for me."

"Hehehe, even if the benefactor doesn't say this, the poor monk will do it by himself. After all, the benefactor has a good relationship with Buddha and should not die."

"Is this true?"

Dongfang Mo showed a look of ecstasy.

And the monster just nodded.

Just when Dongfang Mo wanted to say something.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the golden light on the monster's body trembled and seemed to be a little dimmer.

"It seems that the poor monk is running out of time."
