Chapter 628 Is there another one?

The entrance to this cave was very grand. It was a red lacquered door with three doors on the left and right, a total of six doors. The copper nails on it were still shining. There was also a plaque on the lintel with the words "Misfortune and Blessing" written on it. Gu Shiyi was very surprised when he saw it.

"Hey... Isn't this senior a very elegant person? Why did he name his cave the two words 'Huo Fu'?"

Pu Yanlan was also very strange.
"Yes, good and bad fortune come from no door, but are brought upon oneself. This name... is it a bit weird?"

Does this mean that fortune or disaster is unpredictable after entering this door, or does it mean that there is no door to fortune or disaster, and this place is not a proper door?

The two looked at each other, and the dragon soul hovering above their heads also let out a soft "eh".
"It is indeed a bit strange. I have heard people say before that when our ancestors opened up the cave, some people liked to build a fake gate. Through the fake gate, one can also reach the cave. However, there is a magic array every three steps and a trap every five steps. It is very dangerous. I wonder if it is the same here?"

Gu Shiyi frowned after hearing this.
"Eh... I really can't tell. Writing the words 'blessing and disaster' on the door lintel means that once you enter, you will bear your own blessings and disasters, right?"

Pu Yanlan also nodded, took out the note and read it carefully again.
"The note doesn't record anything related to this door. It only says that after entering, you can go straight to the main door of the cave. When you reach the first courtyard, there is a letter left by the owner..."

The two looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi said,
"Forget it. There is no other entrance here. Let's go to the first courtyard and take a look at the scroll left by the owner. What does it say?"

After saying that, he took a step forward and stretched out his hand to push the door. The vermilion lacquered door really opened in response. Immediately, a large jade sculpture of an immortal riding a crane and being led by a boy appeared in front of him. The dragon soul flew over and circled above it.
"There is no spiritual energy fluctuation!"

This is just an ordinary decoration!

The two walked around the screen wall and saw that this courtyard was similar to that of ordinary wealthy people. There were corridors on both sides, and a spacious walkway behind the screen wall in the middle courtyard, all paved with white jade. The two walked on it, and the hard soles of their boots made a clattering sound, which echoed in this deserted courtyard. After walking up the walkway and climbing the steps, there was another door. After pushing the door open, there was another courtyard. After walking along the walkway, they saw the wide main hall. The tables and chairs in the main hall were no different from those in ordinary people's homes, but they were all carved from jade. Gu Shiyi said,
"I don't know where this senior got these jades from. Why are all of them made of jade? They look nice, but they are cold..."

Pu Yanlan said,

"I think they used local materials. There should be a lot of jade under the ground here..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the bamboo slips that had been spread out on the table.

"Eleven, look..."

Gu Shiyi looked over and saw words carved on the bamboo slips with a knife.
"Those who come later should know that I am True Lord Fuyang. When I was young, I worshipped under True Lord Jiuzhuan..."

It was the original owner of this place who talked about his life experience, how he learned skills in childhood, how he traveled around after he had made some achievements in Taoism, and how he wanted to steal the Haotian Divine Book because his Taoism did not improve. How he succeeded in the end. He hid here for fear of being found by the other party. After that, he practiced and studied the Divine Book for many years, but he could not decipher the mysteries. Seeing that his life was coming to an end and there was no hope of ascending, he could only die with hatred. Moreover, his bones and the Divine Book were in the third level deep in this cave. Whoever entered the third level, took out his bones and sent them back to the original continent would be given the Haotian Divine Book and countless treasures in the cave!

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan read to the end, but saw the last line that read,
“I am a person who values ​​trust, and I hope that those who come after me will value trust as well. Therefore, I have specially left behind a blood oath technique. Anyone who wants to obtain the Haotian Divine Book must swear an oath with blood here before they can enter the third level and obtain the Divine Book and all the treasures. If they try to take it by force, all the treasures will be destroyed by themselves, and even the Haotian Divine Book will not remain. Please remember this!”

There was a piece of silk book under the bamboo slips, which recorded the blood oath technique. Gu Shiyi frowned when he read it.
"Who would dare to use this unknown magic so easily?"

She was used to being cautious, and always acted roughly but meticulously. She would never make a blood oath without knowing what the consequences would be, even if she was beaten to death!

Pu Yanlan also nodded and said,
"Although there seems to be nothing wrong with this blood oath, but... it is better to be safe than sorry, that's for sure!"

The Dragon Soul also came over to look at the silk book and said,
"This should be a blood oath from ancient times. The caster must use his own blood as a guide and write his name on the silk book. In fact, he is guiding a small wisp of his soul to attach to it, and the original owner of the silk book will attach a wisp of obsession to the caster. If the caster does not act according to the oath, then this wisp of obsession will remain dormant in his sea of ​​consciousness and may erupt at any time... There is already a name here!"

After saying that, he stretched out his slender dragon claw and pointed at the surface of the silk book, only to see two bright red names on it, one was Wen Ren Qian and the other was Li Haoyi. But he didn't know whether the person whose physical body was harmed by his companion and who had to be possessed by another was Wen Ren Qian or Li Haoyi?

Gu Shiyi stuck out his tongue after hearing this.
"We don't really want the Haotian Divine Records. You can take the things, but you can leave this cave behind. It doesn't matter if you swear a blood oath!"

Pu Yanlan put down the silk book, turned around and said,
"Let's go, let's go take a look at the back..."

The two of them went to the back hall, and after they went out, they saw a small courtyard. There were three roads outside the courtyard, leading to the front, left and right. Gu Shiyi looked at Pu Yanlan, and Pu Yanlan said, "Directly in front..."

After passing the Moon Gate, there was a small lake in front of them. There was a small jade boat in the small lake. Pu Yanlan stepped on it first. With her spiritual power activated, the boat sailed to the other side of the lake. However, just when they reached the center of the lake, they heard a buzzing sound, and the scene in front of them changed. It turned out that this small lake was just a formation to deceive the eyes. After reaching the center of the lake, they could see that the scene on the other side had changed. There stood a three-story building by the lake with its door open. After the two of them got ashore and entered, they saw that there were treasure racks on all four sides of the building, but they were empty. They thought that they had all been taken away by the people who came before them. After they turned around and found nothing special, they went out from the back door of the building, followed the path forward, and passed through a Moon Gate. There was another buzzing sound.
"boom……"

A burst of burning air blew in their faces, and the two were stunned. They saw a small lake in front of them, and the lake was full of burning flames several feet high. Looking around, the sky and the ground were all red. Gu Shiyi turned to Pu Yanlan and said,
"Eh...why does this place look similar to what we saw at the bottom of the sea?"

Pu Yanlan looked carefully and shook her head.
"The fire at the bottom of the sea is the true spiritual fire, and the fire here is the Brahma flame. I have read that the Brahma flame comes from the orthodox Buddhism. It is said that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has pity on the souls who committed evil in their previous lives and have experienced the eighteen levels of hell but still cannot be reincarnated. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva set up this Brahma flame. No matter how heinous the evil spirits in their previous lives were, as long as they enter this flame and endure the burning for 49 days, they can get rid of their sins and be reincarnated as humans again!"

Gu Shiyi smacked his lips and said,
"According to what you said, we should go in and burn it too?"

Pu Yanlan shook her head and said,

"No, that's just a legend. The Brahma Flame was created by the Buddhist sect in later generations based on the records in Buddhist scriptures. However, it does have some magical powers that can help people get rid of their sins..."

Mortals who do evil will be plagued by karma. The more evil they do, the more karma they will have. This flame is transformed by the supreme Buddhist Dharma. The more sins a person has committed who enter it, the more pain he will suffer. As long as they can survive it, they can really eliminate the karma and gain a new life!
"So, it's still a good thing?"

Gu Shiyi asked, and Pu Yanlan shook her head again.

“It’s good, but it’s also bad. Anyone who passes through this Brahma Flame will be reborn, but the memory of this life will be washed away…”

oh well...

This is not fun!
Gu Shiyi curled his lips,

"Those who can get in here are all cultivators. If you let someone erase their memory, it would mean that all your skills would be wasted. Only a fool would be willing to do that!"

Pu Yanlan nodded,
"Indeed, this Brahma Flame is actually used by the Buddhist sect to recruit disciples. Anyone who wants to become a monk to practice Buddhism and has committed serious sins can enter it. When they come out, they will have cut off all ties with the past and worldly affairs!"

"So now...how do we get there?"

Pu Yanlan didn't say anything. She looked around and asked in confusion,
"Shouldn't there be someone else here?"

Her words reminded Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi looked around and saw the dragon soul flying away. It was the spirit of the Earth Fire Dome Cauldron and was not afraid of fire. Not long after it was born, it died at the hands of a human cultivator. It had not had the chance to do evil in its life, so it naturally had no sins. Entering and exiting the Brahma Flame was like entering its own back garden, without any discomfort. After circling in the fire lake, the dragon soul came back with a corpse in its claws.
"boom……"

Throwing it at their feet,

"Look..."

The two of them took a closer look and saw that the corpse was wearing a long robe, a golden crown on his head, his face was blue and purple, and his eyes were bulging. It looked like he died with his eyes open. Gu Shiyi said,
"I don't know whether this person is Wen Renqian or Li Haoyi. It's a pity that I didn't ask the beggar's name at that time..."

Pu Yanlan said,

"Two people arrived here, but there was only one body. Could it be that the other person has already gone in?"

The Brahma Flame is not an ordinary flame. It will not burn the body, but it will remove the evil attached to the soul. Therefore, the pain will only be on the soul. Even if the body dies, it will be intact!

The Dragon Soul searched around again.

"There is indeed no one else!"
