Chapter 591 Blood and Flesh Cause and Effect

The so-called causal city actually does not have any architectural facilities such as city walls, buildings, and roads.

When Li Jun saw an extremely lush barley field that covered an area of ​​unknown size, the captured Sang Yanfo Xu Yunri told him that this was the outskirts of Yin and Yang City.

What is even more surprising is that Yunri said that this place was originally a barren desert with no grass growing.

The wildly growing flowers and plants at this moment are all due to the peculiarity of the Cause and Effect City.

It's just that the city stays in a certain place, and after just one night, a vibrant green ocean will grow there.

So if you encounter such a sudden miracle in a foreign land, don't panic.

Because this is not danger, but opportunity.

Prove that the city of cause and effect is not far away.

Of course, this is true for foreign Buddhists like Yunri.

For ordinary aboriginals, this is just a sea of ​​grass that eats people.

Under the leaden, gloomy sky, the snow was still raging.

Large fields of barley were surging like waves in the biting cold wind. Four figures wrapped in red monk robes were moving against the waves, standing out extremely.

Yunri walked in front with a numb and lifeless face and stiff steps.

Be it time or life, she has now completely given up the idea of ​​living. She only hopes that after she finishes her work for the group of Ming people behind her, the terrifying armor will give her a quick relief.

The sea of ​​grass is vast and boundless.

As the group went deeper, they found that the height of the barley around them continued to grow.

Like a rising water level, it gradually submerged Dunzhu's head.

At the same time, Dunzhu felt a strange heat surging from his internal organs, and his whole body felt numb and itchy.

It was as if something inexplicable was growing rapidly in the body and would soon break out of it.

Dunzhu suppressed the uneasiness and fear, clenched his fingers tightly, gritted his teeth and tried his best not to make any sound.

"No wonder you feel like you can't survive. How can you not die happily if you are so stubborn when encountering difficulties? You are not a coward if you are alone. If you can fight, fight to the death. If you can't fight, run away. You have to use your brain to fight in the martial arts world. You still have a lot to learn."

Li Jun's right hand fell on Dunzhu's shoulder, and a force flowed out from between his fingers, covering the other's body under the red robe in the blink of an eye.

Under the impact of the force, the strange feeling in the body disappeared instantly.

Dunzhu scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled with gratitude.

Dunzhu was grateful to his teacher from the bottom of his heart. But the sense of oppression from the other party was too strong, so he didn't dare to talk to Li Jun much.

"This place is a little weird. Do you feel it?"

Li Jun turned to look at Zhang Siyuan, who nodded in agreement.

"I feel it. It's like there's a force that's trying to give birth to our flesh and blood. However, it seems like only we are affected. It's very friendly to the Buddha Order."

Zhang Siyuan's feeling was clearer and more accurate than Li Jun's. He stretched out his hand and pulled down an ear of barley beside him, grinding the grain that had swelled to the size of a thumb, and exclaimed in amazement.

"I have to say, these farmers are really good at this. This is the first time I've seen such a way of identifying identities in all my travels. Brother Jun, do you think if a person stays here for a long time, will he really turn into a barley stalk?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the expression on Zhang Siyuan's face became a little strange.

In his eyes, the swaying plants around him seemed to have really turned into people in green clothes, with their arms open, coming towards him.

"Isn't it really that damn unlucky?"

Zhang Siyuan cursed inwardly and quickly dropped the barley in his hand.

At this moment, Yun Ri, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and whispered, "My lords, the envoy from Yin and Yang City is here."

Li Jun couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Siyuan.

Although Wu Xu and Ru Xu are not particularly good at perception and detection, with their current strength, it is not easy for ordinary people to hide from them.

But at this moment, Li Jun and Zhang Siyuan clearly did not notice anyone approaching.

On the contrary, only Yunri, who is at the fifth level, can sense the other party's position, which is a bit too abnormal.

Could it be that this sea of ​​grass can block the perception abilities of other sequences, and only the Buddha's thoughts of the Buddha sequence can be performed unimpeded?
The densely grown barley spread out to the left and right like a person, revealing a strange figure.

The man wore a straw hat, a raincoat, his trouser legs rolled up, and was barefoot. His exposed skin was bronzed from years of farming.

It was exactly the standard attire of a farmer in the Ming Empire during the pre-Ming period.

"Greetings, envoy. I am the abbot of Yunri Temple under the seat of Sangyan Buddha. I came here to exchange for mature causal computing power."

Yunri was very humble and spoke in a respectful tone, revealing his identity to the other party.

“Everyone who visits Karma City does so in exchange for what they want.”

The farmer replied indifferently, raised his bamboo hat slightly, revealing a pair of cold eyes, looking at Li Jun and others standing behind Yunri.

"What are the trade items you brought this time? Let me be frank. The situation in the foreign land is very tense right now, so the exchange standard is naturally not the same as before. If it is just some ordinary goods, then you, the temple master, may have made a wasted trip."

"Of course I understand this. But what I brought this time is a rare treasure, which will definitely satisfy City Lord Zheng's causal tree."

Yunri, who had been prepared for this, answered fluently and raised his hand to signal.

"Come here, let the envoy see your quality first."

Zhang Siyuan, wrapped in a red robe, took the initiative to step forward, raised his hand to take off the hood on his head, with stiff movements and dull eyes, he acted the role of a puppet being controlled by someone very vividly.

"This person is a genuine member of the Confucian family. He has a high rank and holds an official position in the Ming Dynasty. I took a huge risk to get him."

At this moment, Li Jun, who is the guardian god, is watching the excitement from the side.

Although the son of the Zhang family claimed that he only knew archery, he actually knew a lot more.

At least from the farmer's shining eyes, it can be seen that his disguise has not been seen through by the other party.

The farmer suppressed the strangeness in his eyes and said calmly, "Master, the value of the goods cannot be told with words. You can only know it after you plant it in the soil."

"Of course." Yunri nodded repeatedly.

"Since you have decided to change, then please follow me, Master."

The farmer turned around and led the way, leading everyone to continue forward in the sea of ​​barley.

Perhaps it was because Yunri’s status was low, but along the way, this so-called messenger from the City of Karma ignored her attempts to talk and just walked ahead on his own.

However, Li Jun noticed that the ground under his feet was tilting downward at a tiny angle, as if it was moving underground.

They walked like this for a full half hour, and the sky above their heads was already covered with dense thorny vines.

What is weird is that these vines are not frozen in place, but instead they move and crawl like snakes, crisscrossing each other, making people's scalps tingle.

When you get here, you can no longer hear the sound of the wind and snow. The bone-chilling wind has been replaced by hot air. The temperature is so high that it makes people feel like they are under the scorching summer sun.

Li Jun observed the strange things around him and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This damn place is not a city of cause and effect at all, it’s clearly just a huge artificial greenhouse.

"We've arrived at the farm."

Everyone followed the farmer and stopped, only to see a wall of vines in front of them.

The farmer just raised his hand and waved it, and the vines moved away in all directions like living things.

The line of sight suddenly became clear and Li Jun looked up.

The whole farm was shrouded in mist, through which vast stretches of fertile fields could be vaguely seen.

What was planted in it was a strange crop that Li Jun had never seen before.

The appearance of this crop is somewhat similar to corn, but the stem is more than ten times wider and more than ten feet tall. It is a rare bright red color and looks like burning pillars of fire from a distance.

There was a small figure on the path between the fields, stopping in front of each strange crop to look at it, as if selecting a target of his choice.

"I haven't been here for a while, but Master Zheng Chu's farm is becoming more and more prosperous."

This was not Yunri's first time in Yin and Yang City, and he was not shocked by the spectacular scene before him for too long. He smiled and spoke.

"Thank you for your praise, Master."

The farmer bowed slightly and said, "Since you are a familiar customer, you should be very familiar with the rules of Yin and Yang City. I will not elaborate on it. You can choose your own place. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, he turned and walked away, into a crack in the thorn wall.

"Damn it, why does this place feel so creepy?" Zhang Siyuan muttered to himself, and then urged Yunri who was standing still.

"Come on, take us over there to have a look."

Dunzhu, who was the last one to fall behind, followed forward. The moment he stepped into the fog, an inexplicable fear seemed to sneak into his body along with the mist, tightly gripping his heart. The soft and sticky touch from the soles of his feet made the hairs all over his body stand up.

Finally, he approached a red plant as thick as a tree.

At this distance, the fog no longer obstructs the view.

The moment he saw the true shape of the plant, Dunzhu felt a shock on his scalp, his violent heartbeat rumbled in his ears, and even the bones, meridians, blood vessels and skin of his body were crackling.

This is not a field at all, but clearly a piece of wriggling flesh and blood, surging with oil and blood, and you can even see some hair and teeth that have not yet melted.

These are not plants at all; they are clearly skinned bodies that have been sewn together. You can even see hands, feet and human faces squeezed among the muscles.

Dunzhu's poor vocabulary was simply unable to describe the horror that was unfolding before his eyes.

But the impact of the sight is far from over.

As if sensing someone approaching, the giant causal tree bent its trunk as if it had intelligence, revealing its ripe "fruit" growing on the top of its crown.

The five fingers of each palm are put together and connected to each other front and back to form an outer layer shaped like a shell.

As the outer layer slowly opened to the left and right, some strange-shaped contents were revealed inside.

A terrifying demon with a human head and a beast body, covered with thick black mane.
The body is naked, the limbs are twisted, and there are root-like tissues extending from the facial features.
Only half of the head was left, and in the dissected brain was a bright yellow relic.
Everything is hung in the fruit by fist-sized blood vessels, swinging back and forth for anyone to pick.

Seeing this, Dunzhu could no longer control his churning stomach, and he collapsed to his knees, vomiting violently.

"What the hell is this?"

The monk's robe on Yunri suddenly swelled up and was torn into pieces by a hideous piece of armor.

Lord Ma, who had been hiding in Yunri, unfolded his body, reached out and grabbed Yunri's throat, and lifted her up with one arm.

"This is the specialty of Karma City. It can cultivate all kinds of karmic trees."

Zhang Siyuan gritted his teeth and asked angrily, "Are you telling me this is cause and effect?"

"Plant the seeds of desire and reap the fruits of expectation. No matter what you want, Flesh and Field can help you grow it."

Yunri, who knew he was about to die, showed a look of relief and said with a smile: "How can this not be cause and effect?"

Zhang Siyuan asked with a sullen face: "What are the rules that Nong Xu just mentioned?"

"What goes around comes around. If you want to exchange something from this farm, you have to plant enough substitutes. But they have to be living things. Dead things are not welcome in Karma City."

Yunri looked at the blood-red one-eyed man who was so close to him and said in a sharp voice: "I have already done what you asked me to do. Can I die now? Kill me, kill me quickly."

"Don't worry. As long as you cooperate and say everything you need to say, I can give you a quick death instead of turning you into a saddle and sending you to the barbarians. I mean what I say."

The cold voice of Lord Horse came from the one eye.

"What else do you want to ask? Aren't you going to stand up for these slaves? The owner of Karma City is Zheng Chu, and he is hiding here. Go and kill him!"

Yunri screamed in horror, as if living was nothing but painful torture to her.

"Can these people be saved?"

Li Jun jumped onto Lord Ma's shoulder, squatted down, and looked coldly into Yunri's eyes.

"How can we save him? There is no hope."

Yunri grinned: "But they are lucky. At least they are no longer cattle and sheep that can feel pain. They are just a group of unconscious plants."

"Kill him."

After getting the answer, Li Jun stood up straight and exhaled heavily.

boom!
Mo Jia clenched his five fingers together and crushed Yun Ri's head into splattering meat paste.

The sprayed blood rain fell on the faces of those 'fruits' and was instantly licked clean by the tongues that stretched out one by one.

The headless body fell into the field of flesh and blood, and was swallowed up by the surging waves of flesh in an instant.

Perhaps thinking that Yunri's body was the commodity to be exchanged, the causal tree kept trembling, the blood vessels connecting to the "fruit" were broken one after another, and a bunch of indescribable strange products fell down.

"This woman is also one of the accomplices. It's too easy for her to just let her die like this!"

Zhang Siyuan looked at the beast-like people falling at his feet and couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Cheap? Are you kidding me, son of the Zhang family? I asked Zhao Qingxia to even make a saddle for her. How could I let her die so easily?"

"Master Ma, you"

Zhang Siyuan opened his eyes wide and saw with his own eyes that Lord Ma swallowed a strand of wisdom into the scales on his palm.

"What, do you have any objections?"

"No."

Zhang Siyuan gave a thumbs up: "Master Ma is a man of character!"

"Praise slowly, because there's more to come!"

A red light flashed in his single eye, and billowing flames gushed out from Lord Horse's arms, rushing towards the surrounding fields of flesh and blood and the causal trees.

The causal tree trapped in the sea of ​​fire twisted wildly, making a piercing scream that pierced through gold and split rock.

If you look down from a high place at this moment, you can see that all the causal trees in the entire farm are awakened at this moment. They pull out their roots from the fields like people and spread their legs to avoid the raging fire.

Just as the chaos was intensifying, a dull and heavy sound like a drum suddenly sounded.

Boom! Boom! Boom, boom, boom!

The drumbeats became more frequent and heavier.

Zhang Siyuan's face suddenly changed. He realized that this was not the sound of drums, but the sound of a human heartbeat.

The fleeing causal trees stopped one after another, ignoring the flames chasing them from behind, and knelt down and kowtowed in the center of the field of flesh and blood.

The causal trees, which clearly did not have human form, now prostrated themselves on the ground together, with excited, high-pitched singing emanating from their trunks.

"Spring rains arrive, summer thunders. Autumn raises ears of corn, winter stores grain. A drop of blood falls to the ground, and it grows into ten thousand ounces of flesh, and the belly is filled with joy."

The fruits on the treetops cracked open one after another, and countless strange-shaped things fell like rain.

They followed suit, falling to their knees and also singing.

"Sow evil seeds, reap good fruits. Redeem sins, cleanse evil. The landowner bears all things, lives as long as the southern mountains, and shines as brightly as the sun and the moon."

Amid the joyful singing, the fog that enveloped the entire farm gradually dissipated.

In the center of the field of flesh and blood, there stood a tall tower consisting of two spiral steps leading to the sky.

At the top of the tower is a throne made of bones.

A huge body like a ghost occupied it.

He had shoulder-length black hair and handsome facial features, but below his neck was a skinless, bloody body. His muscles were covered with dark blue meridians and blood vessels, and there was a huge crack across his waist, as if his upper and lower body were made up of two different bodies.

The source of the thunderous heartbeat, the object of worship by thousands of causal trees.

His identity is self-evident; he is none other than the Lord of Karma City, Nongxu Zhengchu.

"Who disturbs my Karma City?!"

His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and Zheng Chu stood up from the throne. His white bones pierced through his muscles, forming a hideous bone armor. Two huge swords emerged from his palms, colliding and rubbing against each other, emitting sparks.

"You guys are really noisy."

Li Jun, who was standing on Lord Ma's shoulder, smiled contemptuously, raised his right arm horizontally, and a silver-white spear suddenly popped out from the spine of the armor and was caught by the five fingers that were closed.

With a cold gaze directed at the figure on the platform, Li Jun bent his legs slightly, then suddenly straightened them, and shot up into the sky like a sharp arrow.

boom!
An acre of flesh and blood exploded, and dark golden armor chased into the sky, covering the body with armor.

Zila
Black and red electric arcs exploded on the armor plates, and the billowing black flames dragged into a cloak several feet long.

"Master Ma, sing and kill people!"

The wind explodes and the suona soars into the sky!
Instantly drowning out all the seductive singing, beating drums and heartbeats!
