Chapter 63: Weak Water Three Thousand, I Only Take One Ladle to Drink Crossing the Year Five Watches Plan (4)
I felt my head was about to explode as I listened to this unpleasant sound, word by word, like it was flying out and hitting me. "Roar!" I shouted in anger, struggling to get up. In front of me, that group of people, the one who was reciting this unpleasant sound, behind him, a Buddha appeared vaguely, emitting a light that stimulated my eyeballs.
"Om, ma, ni, pad, me, hum", these six words were clearly enunciated from that person's mouth, I don't know what these six words mean, the brilliant light of Buddha enveloped my entire body, I felt as if I was in a closed space, with something continuously spreading throughout my body from head to toe.
My fangs gradually receded, the body hair also disappeared almost completely, slowly feeling that my heart was much more empty, how to say that kind of feeling is like my whole body relaxed a lot, I slowly softened on the ground, those voices slowly faded away, after the light scattered I saw familiar figures, it's Lü Suijian and them.
"Go take a look at Shitian...", Lü Si Jian rushed over to support me, I still didn't know what was wrong with Shitian.
"There's corpse poison in your body, I didn't notice it before, it's really strange." Lü Si Jian ran over to take a look at Shi Teng, and I vaguely saw Shi Teng smile at me. It shouldn't be anything serious, with the help of others, I stood up, feeling my stomach churning endlessly, a foul smell sweeping through my body, I vomited, but it was wave after wave of black **.
"How did I... end up like this...", I was supported by them as I passed by, looking at the world, perhaps all of these things I didn't know what's going on.
"Zihe, big brother... Ye Zilin told me this before he left... He said that the corpse poison in your body suddenly disappeared, it's very strange... Maybe it has something to do with your own blood... It absorbed the corpse poison but nothing happened... He said... If you turn into a zombie again... You must take him to Maoshan..." Sheng Teng was being carried by Lü Si, and he trembled as he spoke to me.
My corpse poison is still all over? "... I ... I just became a zombie, didn't I." I dare not recall the experience just now, my hands beheaded zombies alive and kicking, sweeping past one by one biting off their necks, I looked at the corpses on the ground...
"Is...last time...Yang Tie was also killed by you as a zombie...", Yang Tie was killed by me? A surge of memories flooded my mind, and in my mind's eye, I seemed to see someone crouching over Yang Tie's body, biting through his neck, blood splattering everywhere. How could that person be me! I hugged my head and squatted on the ground, last time almost biting Zhang Ting's neck, these fragmented memories kept floating back and forth in my mind.
"Without attachment, there is no fear. Far from the inverted dream, ultimately Nirvana." I feel a hand on my shoulder, and words float into the depths of my mind, as if struggling with those memories...
"The stillness of the mountain, calm and peaceful, unmoving like a mountain. Those who are about to engage in battle all have their formations arrayed before them! But now is not the time for me to think about these things, I feel my heart is very turbulent, I keep pushing away those memories, The one who is still, secures his heart and stabilizes his body."
"Thanks... I can." I stood up, looking at Lü Sijian in front of me, who was wearing a Buddhist rosary and muttering to himself. He nodded when he saw me stand up.
"How did you find this place...", there were seven or eight of us in a row, but Tāng Qí and Dà Hú Zi Lǎo Dào were missing. The two people in front were carrying Shì Téng, who seemed to be asleep, no wonder... he had been injured since entering. I could still barely move.
"How did you find this place?" Lü Si Jian walked beside me, at the moment he was different from what I saw before him, very serious. "Captain Luo informed us that as soon as we came in, we were trapped by the strange door. At that time, seeing bloodstains on the ground, we knew something had happened to you, and followed the bloodstains to find you. It seems that we can only get out after entering the tomb."
"What? What did you say?"
"This strange door is too mysterious, constantly changing, making it impossible for us to find a way out. It seems the person who set this up didn't intend for us to leave, nothing is absolute, let's take it one step at a time."
Tang Qilei said that this is the eight-door shift, from the beginning of encountering Gui Sha... The object of watching the door here is not ordinary, it feels like a place with no return, but what else can be done...
I don't know what's buried in the tomb, but it's got such a grand setup that even the King of Hell is being held captive to guard it. "By the way, where's that old Taoist with the big beard?"
"I don't know, we didn't see him when we set out, it's mysterious... I think he has kidney problems." This kind of Lü Si Jian makes me feel more used to it. But where did the big bearded man go? Or is he just a weirdo? However, many mayors are guaranteeing for him... Forget it, don't want to think about it, will ask Captain Luo when I go out later.
The hole that walked through the zombie camp was not as dark as the previous one, but rather some dimly lit oil lamps flickered faintly. After passing through Yang Tie Mu's tomb once, he was no longer surprised by these things, and the wick should be made of corpse oil.
"Where did the sound of water come from?" I don't know where I heard this sound, the gurgling sound seemed to be like the sound of flowing water hitting the stones, my words made Lü Si Jian stop in his tracks. "Wait!", he shouted at the people in front, quietly listening, those people were still staring at us two with confusion.
"There really is a sound of water!", Lü Suijian said after listening for a long time.
"Is there really an underground river?" Tang Qi had told me that this place is backed by a mountain and faces water, I once asked him where the water came from, Underground river!
"I don't know if it's true or not! But at least it's helpful for us to get out! Let's head towards the sound of water!", Lü Si Jian supported me and ran up, those people carrying Shi Teng also quickened their pace, feeling that the sound of water was getting closer and louder.
"There's the exit!", someone in front of me exclaimed, I just hope it's not another weird place. As I stepped into that light spot, I closed my eyes, if I encounter anything else, maybe I'll really be out of luck.
I closed my eyes and didn't hear any movement from the people around me, but I heard the sound of the water flowing getting louder and louder, its majestic momentum reflected in my mind. I slowly opened my eyes...
"This...this!", I was stunned, not just me, everyone stopped and stared ahead, mouths agape. Is this really the underground palace?! A magnificent building stood before us, like an ancient imperial palace. The scene was exactly the same as when we first encountered the Rakshasa. I couldn't help but look around, had we somehow returned to that place again?
It's still an arch bridge, but the sound of water under the bridge is what we heard in the cave.
Everyone looked at Luskin, he carefully stared at the layout here, "Don't go over yet, let me take a look." He walked towards the arch bridge, below which was a river flowing very smoothly. But where did that majestic momentum just come from?
"Be careful!", I recalled the time when I almost got swallowed by a Rusch, and couldn't help but worry, so I followed him. Luus and I walked to the riverbank and quietly watched the changes in the river, flowing very smoothly, feeling like it was standing still, why was there still water sound?
"Give me some of your hair." I saw Luskin touch his own head, as if remembering something, and turned to say this sentence to me. Want my hair?
"What can hair even do?"
"This river feels unusual, calm yet urgent, with many changes...". He muttered to himself, and I pulled out a few strands of hair and handed them to him. "Not enough, pull out some more."
"Ah... pull a bit more...", this isn't that I don't want to pull, I've never tried pulling one by one, my scalp can't take it. He saw me stop and with an expression of discontent, he rolled up his pant legs. His leg hair is really thick... I saw him frown without even raising an eyebrow, then pulled out a handful and threw it into the river. I didn't understand this series of actions at all, wanted to ask him, but he anticipated my question and told me not to speak yet.
I saw him staring at the river, what's in the river that made him so serious? I came to his side and looked into the river together, but found that those leg hairs he threw away had all sunk into the river.
"What...?", I really can't explain how this happened. Throwing a stone into the water and it sinking, I can understand that, but why did my leg hair sink too?
"This is Weak Water." Lus said with a pat on my back as he pulled me to the rear, Weak Water? Very weak water?
" Weak water?"
"There is a saying you should have heard: 'Weak water three thousand, I only take one scoop to drink.'"
"Have you heard of it? The Weak Water of the Three Thousand Weak Waters is this kind?"
"Yes, according to Buddhist teachings, weak water is where a swan's feather cannot float and birds find it hard to fly over. It's calm yet has a rapid current. I just tried to test it out and didn't expect it to be true about the weak water," I wanted to ask something but saw him thinking: "Weak water shouldn't appear in the mortal world... Could this place be the underworld?"
"Underworld? Are you kidding me, the underworld isn't like this! When Lü Suijian mentioned the two words 'underworld', we entered a tomb and charged into the underworld? I've been here before, but it wasn't like this."
"The vastness of the underworld is beyond your imagination... or perhaps there are other explanations. Let's go." The underworld is very large, at first I was just taken to the ghost realm by Mengmeng, that tiny place might be a sesame seed in the underworld.
"Wait, won't something happen?", I watched them as they were about to cross the bridge and walk to the other shore, I was afraid that there might be some unexpected changes in the weak water.
"It won't fall, as long as it doesn't collapse." We were walking on the bridge, feeling very unsteady. The bridge was made of wood and creaked with every step.
"What if I fall in? It's not that deep." The river is crystal clear and you can see the bottom, will falling in be dangerous?
"Isn't it very deep? Have you heard of the bottomless pit? This river has a special property, plus the weak water can't even float a feather, if you fall in, you might keep sinking down, either drowning or if you can hold on, it will also make you sink to the point of transcendence." After Lü Sijian said this to me, I felt every step becoming heavier, not just me, but others too, nervously looking at the wooden planks beneath their feet. If one falls in... even... the corpse won't be found...
