Big dreamer

Shen Luo glanced around and found that the surroundings were dark and quiet. He did not see the black vortex that had sucked him in before, and he only felt as if he was suspended in a realm of nothingness.

"come on."

At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from a distance.

Shen Luo turned around when he heard the sound and saw a faint light shining in the dark space not far behind him.

He slowly walked over there, and then he gradually saw clearly that in that corner, sitting cross-legged, was an old man in tattered clothes and exuding the aura of death.

"Bodhisattva..." Shen Luo called tentatively.

"This weapon of yours is quite good. It is comparable to the Ruyi Golden Cudgel used by the Fighting Victory Buddha..." the old man said.

Shen Luo walked closer and saw the old man holding his Zhenhai iron rod in his hand and stroking it gently.

The old man is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

However, unlike the kind-browed old monk he saw in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, whose body was emitting white light, the old man in front of him was completely ruined. Although there was still some light on his body, it was already as weak as the brilliance of a firefly.

"Bodhisattva, you..." Shen Luo looked at the dying Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and said slowly.

"The body of this Immortal Buddha has long since decayed. He is hiding in this Xu Kun's body just to avoid being chased by demons and linger on." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returned the Zhenhai iron rod to Shen Luo and said with a smile.

"Bodhisattva, since you are not dead, why don't you contact Immortal Zhenyuan and the others? Is it better than being here alone and being eaten by the Xu Kun?" Shen Luo knelt down, took the long stick and put it away, and asked.

"I don't want to, but I can't. That traitor is still lurking in the resistance ranks of the human and immortal tribes. If I return rashly, I will definitely bring disaster to them. I will seal Chi You and destroy the hope of restoring the way of heaven. ”Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head and said bitterly.

"Traitor?" Shen Luo said in surprise.

"Yes, the underworld back then was actually not that vulnerable. Because of that traitor, half of the Yama Lords of the Ten Palaces were either framed or instigated by him to rebel. Their vitality was severely damaged before they could fight against the demons, and later because of his extradition. , causing the defense line set up by the underworld to be easily broken through, until the entire underworld was breached, and all the resistance was wiped out." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said this, with not much hatred in his eyes, but only compassion.

Shen Luo recalled the tragic situation in Wuzhuang Temple and immediately understood in his heart.

The Wuzhuang Temple, with Immortal Zhenyuan sitting in charge and Bull Demon King and others joining in, was able to be breached, probably because of the traitor's handiwork.

"Bodhisattva, who is that traitor?" Shen Luo asked quickly.

"I'm ashamed to say that I can only make a guess about the identity of that person, but I can't confirm it. Back then, he personally attacked me secretly, but he used the magical power of the demon clan. I originally thought he was a member of the demon clan, but I still listened. I found some clues and told me that the person Hefei should be from the immortal clan. Unfortunately, Tingting died in the battle before he could confirm his identity." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva lamented.

"Bodhisattva, even if it is just a guess, you should inform everyone so that everyone can take precautions." Shen Luo felt a little flustered when he thought that the guy was probably still with the Bull Demon King and the others, and Nie Caizhu was also there. .

"Monks don't lie. How can we talk about things that can't be verified? Moreover, the Alliance of Humans and Immortals is not monolithic. If there are rumors that there are spies among them..."

Before Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva finished speaking, Shen Luo understood. Once everyone learned that there was a traitor in the Immortal Clan, they would definitely doubt each other and be suspicious of each other. The final result would be a failure of the alliance and massacre by the Demon Clan. Almost exhausted.

This situation is probably what the traitor is looking forward to.

"Bodhisattva, it seems that we have reached the last moment now. Once Zhenyuan Immortal and the others are slaughtered, the last hope of the Three Realms will be completely destroyed. Do you know how to escape from the belly of this ruin Kun? I need to join them as soon as possible." Shen Luo said hurriedly.

"You also have a part of the Heavenly Book in your body, right?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not answer and said instead.

After Shen Luo heard the words, he hesitated for a moment, but he didn't hide it. He raised his hand and waved, and a golden book floated out next to him, emitting bursts of golden halo.

"Yes, now we can basically confirm that you are the variable." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded, seeming somewhat satisfied.

"Senior said several times that I am a variable. What does this mean?" Shen Luo frowned.

"Variables... they are variables. You don't have to worry too much about this. You will know it when you get to that step. Do you know the use of this heavenly book?" Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued.

"This junior only knows that this heavenly book came into being due to the rules of heaven. It records the true names of immortals and Buddhas in the heavens. It is an extremely important weapon against the demons and is even the key to suppressing Chi You." Shen Luo said.

"You are right. This thing was indeed born in response to the law of heaven. After it was broken into five parts, it means that the law of heaven has been separated. The laws of heaven cannot circulate normally, and Chi You cannot be suppressed by the power of heaven." Zao Bodhisattva said.

"Using the power of heaven to suppress Chi You? So, as long as the five heavenly books are gathered and reunited, the power of heaven can be mobilized to suppress Chi You again?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked immediately.

"It's not that simple. If Chi You can be suppressed by the power of heaven alone, how could Chi You lift the seal before the heavenly book was broken?" Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha asked.

"What else do you need?" Shen Luo asked doubtfully.

After just thinking about it, he remembered something again and continued: "Do I still need that scroll of the Mountains and Rivers Map?"

"You are very smart, and you really need the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map as a carrier. Chi You cannot be killed, and only the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map can seal him. And in addition to this, you need another thing." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued. said.

"What?" Shen Luo asked confused.

"The human heart can also be said to be belief. Among the three realms, the human race seems to be sandwiched between immortals and demons, but in fact it can influence the balance of the three realms. The first person to defeat Chi You and seal him was the human race The ancestors were Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan, and the role of human heart is crucial." Bodhisattva gave the answer.

"So, when Monk Tang and his disciples went west to obtain the true scriptures, and finally spread the Mahayana Buddhism, they were actually trying to rectify people's hearts, eliminate greed, anger, delusion and other distracting thoughts, so as to rectify the world's atmosphere and strengthen the seal?" Shen? Luo murmured.

"It's a pity that the world has been peaceful for too long, and has long forgotten the terror of the demons. It is unable to extricate itself from the flow of materialistic desires. In the end, even if Buddhism is spread, it will be difficult to return. When I noticed that there were more and more evil spirits in the underworld, I already knew It's too late..." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said with a bitter smile.
