As Lin Hai fell asleep, the sounds of the forest became alive again, and the burning fire swayed, silently illuminating Lin Hai's face, which was uncertain.

There are bonfires everywhere in the forest, reflecting almost no blind spots in the camp where the caravan is stationed, and there is a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the air.

Lian Shan lowered his head and respectfully reported Lin Hai's affairs to Mrs. Shen in the carriage. There was no movement in the carriage for a long time. After a while, he asked Lian Shan:

"What do you think?"

The sound was like a clear spring in the mountains, extremely clear. Lianshan lowered his head slightly and smiled:

"Xiao Zhang, who was on guard duty just now, said that the monk had fallen asleep. From Yi Lian's perspective, there is no doubt that this man is really an ordinary monk, but we who travel around the world and eat everywhere, we should be careful and there is nothing wrong."

"Senior escort, thank you for your troubles. It's getting late. Please don't work too hard, first escort. Please rest early."

"Yes, Lian will go to have a rest now, and Mrs. Shen will also have a rest early."

Lian Shan raised his head and glanced slightly at the door of the carriage. After not seeing any shadow inside, there was a vague look of disappointment in his eyes.

The Shen family is also a large family in Qingzhou. Mr. Shen has no children and only has such an only daughter. Naturally, after a hundred years, the wealth of the family cannot fall into the hands of others. So Shen Chunniang recruited a frail and poor scholar into the Shen family. On weekdays, Most of the business is hosted by this strong woman, who is someone's dream goddess.

Lianshan boasted that he was a hundred times better than that poor scholar who couldn't even pass the exam. However, his family was well off and he was well connected in many government offices in Qingzhou. He was considered a person with some connections and influence. Naturally, a merchant from the Shen family would not Recruiting such a person to marry into the family, and escorting the Shen family's supplies on this trip was also based on the news that Shen Chunniang was also in the team, so I happily went there in person. However, Mrs. Shen may have been taboo about women being away from home in recent days. He rarely stepped out of the carriage, so Lianshan couldn't get close to him all the time, which really made him feel uncomfortable.

After Lianshan had gone far away, the maid serving Shen Chunniang in the carriage whispered softly:

"This bearded man always comes to us whenever he has something to do. He even makes excuses when meeting a monk. It's really annoying. We still don't know what his intentions are."

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

Shen Chunniang put down the account book in her hand, scolded her gently, and then ordered:

"Tell everyone below to pay attention. Don't neglect the bonfire. If you light up the forest, you will be empty of people and goods, and there will be no place to cry!"

"yes!"

"There are also those powders used to repel insects and evil spirits. Be sure to spread them carefully to avoid any heartache."

"Miss...."

The maid asked curiously, but when she saw Shen Chunniang glared at her, she immediately changed her words:

"Madam, madam! But why didn't you say anything when that bearded man was here just now?"

Shen Chunniang frowned slightly and sighed: "After all, he is an outsider and the head of the escort agency. How can you order him to do such a servant thing?"

The maid said with a smile: "I think Madam, you don't have to worry so much. I think the bearded man must be very willing to do it!"

"You are the only one who talks a lot!"

The maid got off the carriage, made a round of exchanges, and came back. When she saw her wife still sitting there, looking through the account books, she couldn't help but go forward to get a new cup of tea, and said with some distress:

"Madam, with a girly body like yours, why do you have to go out to do business with these men?"

"The current situation is uncertain, there are too many dangers on the road, and this batch of spices is too important to us. If I don't go out, even the head guard will not personally escort me."

Shen Chunniang broke through this helpless mystery and patted Xiao Nizi's head gently:

"If you feel sleepy, take a nap first."

For a while, there was only the occasional sound of turning books in the carriage. It was not until the maid next to her fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage that Shen Chunniang finished processing the account books in her hands.

She spread her arms lightly with a smile on her face, and her amazing curves were proudly exposed. After a while, she suddenly looked out the window, as if she remembered something, and said:

"The monk's recitation was quite nice. I was unsure at first. I thought I would be unable to finish the account books today!"

"Yes, yes, this must be a wise and eminent monk!"

(Lin Hai: Your whole family is an enlightened monk!)

Normal people need one to two hours to transition from light sleep to deep sleep, but Lin Hai seemed to have completely reversed the order of light and deep sleep.

Ever since he fell asleep, his consciousness had always been hazy. There was an invisible force pulling on his consciousness. It seemed that he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers in an instant, or it seemed that he had only taken two steps. , when Lin Hai could see the things in front of him clearly again, he was surprised to find that he had arrived in Youzhou City.

But after seeing things around him clearly, Lin Hai also had a question in his mind: Is this really Youzhou City?

There are stumps and broken arms everywhere, a doomsday scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The thick gate walls of Youzhou City seem to have been washed by artillery fire, with gaps everywhere. Monsters with weird limbs are constantly charging into the city in the darkness in the distance. Among the people who had no resistance, they were like tigers entering the flock of sheep, killing in all directions, and the world seemed to be enveloped in a bloody light.

Is it an illusion?

Lin Hai looked down at his illusory and transparent palm, vaguely hearing someone calling his name, and Bai Lian in the sea of ​​​​consciousness was turbulent.

Looking for the voice calling him, he looked in the direction of the lake in the west of Youzhou City, where Lin Hai originally entered the Tao.

Okay, let’s see what tricks you want to play!

With the thought firmly in mind, Lin Hai tiptoed a little lightly, and his body was running at lightning speed, and he arrived at the West Lake in a short time.

The West Lake, which was originally a vast mist in my memory, has now become a lake of blood. Ghosts on Jinshan Island are crying, and a gloomy atmosphere rises into the sky.

It's all hallucination, it's all fake!

Lin Hai was also a determined person, so naturally he would not be disturbed by such a trick, but when he recognized the place where the calling voice came from, his heartbeat actually accelerated slightly.

The huge Leifeng Pagoda, which is eighty-one feet high, stands beside the Blood Lake as if connecting the sky and the earth. There is no sinister and evil atmosphere. It is such a seemingly peaceful pagoda, but at this time it brings Lin Hai was so impulsive.

"Lin...hai..."

"……ocean……"

I remember that this pagoda has no door, and in the legend of Jinshan Temple, Leifeng Pagoda also has a majestic name, Eighteen Pagodas.

The upper nine floors are dedicated to the relics of the ancestors of Jinshan Temple, and the lower nine floors are buried deep underground to suppress the demon god Bailong!

Similarly, the three words "Leifeng Pagoda" are also deeply entangled with Fahai, with profound cause and effect.

Lin Hai had some kind of guess in his heart, and he arrived in front of Leifeng Pagoda in an instant, and was speechless listening to the clear call inside.

Is it the ancestor's relic on the upper ninth floor that is calling me, or is it the demon on the lower ninth floor that is tempting me?

Although he couldn't see the entrance of the pagoda in front of him, Lin Hai had a very strange feeling that as long as he wanted to, he could walk into it and explore the secrets of the eighteen pagodas.

No, my sword body is silent at the moment. What controls the energy in my physical body is Buddhist practice. Whether it is the ancestor's relic or the demon from the lower nine levels who calls me here, it is a serious danger to myself!

Suddenly waking up from a nightmare, Lin Hai returned to his senses and shook off the fog-like things in his mind, then suddenly turned around and left.

But as soon as he moved, the world around him began to undergo strange changes, and he was actually moved into the pagoda against his will.

Leifeng Pagoda can be called the Eighteen Pagodas by Jinshan Temple, and at the same time it has left a legend of suppressing demons and gods, so its interior layout is naturally extraordinary.

As far as Lin Hai could see, there were mysterious scripture characters engraved on the backs of countless bricks and stones. The golden light was brilliant and gorgeous, and the solemn and majestic meaning of Buddhism came to his face.

Standing still, there seemed to be countless Buddhist sutras chanting in his ears, and the black demonic energy at the point above the sea of ​​​​consciousness spontaneously began to turn into fly ash under such circumstances.

Is this the ninth floor?

Lin Hai was afraid that after the black demonic energy was removed, his two immortal swords would not be able to suppress Bai Lian's magic power in this environment, so he couldn't help but take a step back with the intention of retreating.

However, during this step, he encountered something hard and stone-like, which made a soft sound in the empty pagoda.

Immediately, a circle of ripples like sound waves began to slowly spread around him. Lin Hai turned his head to look, and his whole body was shocked by the sight in front of him.

The skeleton of a huge invertebrate reptile lay in front of him. When Lin Hai's eyes came into contact with this extremely huge skeleton, he almost subconsciously concluded that it was the skeleton of a dragon!

Because it is so big, the exposed nine floors of Leifeng Pagoda alone are ninety-nine and eighty-one feet high. The scale and height are no less than the high-rise buildings in previous lives, and this corpse is almost full of coils around the entire pagoda.

, this is just a corpse without flesh and blood. It is simply unimaginable how huge it was when it was in its prime.

The dragon is a creature that is full of nobility and majesty in ancient Chinese legends. The emperors of the world are known as the real dragon emperors, and the dragon is the head of all races among demons and monsters.

Is this the corpse of the demon god White Dragon? So, I’m still on the ninth floor?

But isn't the lower ninth floor used to suppress demons? Who made that voice calling me?

As if to confirm what Lin Hai was thinking, Lin Hai, who had just had this thought, felt a long exhalation sound suddenly ringing in his ears, followed by a roar of a mountain and a tsunami, which shook his soul!

The white lotus in the sea of ​​consciousness, the sword embryo in the dantian, and even the spirit body of the soul projected here by Lin Hai were trembling endlessly under this dragon roar. They were almost unable to withstand the overwhelming power and were about to collapse!

This demonic dragon is not dead? Could it be that it seduces me here? But why is it looking for me?

All the functions of Lin Hai's body were in chaos. His thoughts were shaken by this shocking roar and he was almost unable to turn around. His whole body was almost bent to his knees under the pressure of this huge dragon power.

In the dark woods in the distance, Lin Hai was sitting in front of a not very strong bonfire. A burst of blood mist suddenly erupted from his body. Drops of blood flowed down the corners of his ragged clothes, and the smell of blood hit his nostrils.

If you don't kneel down, you will die!

Such thoughts flashed through Lin Hai's mind, and just when he was about to bow down to the white dragon, the demon god whose realm he didn't know, a thick sound of Buddha's voice echoed in the pagoda.

"Namo Amitabha!"

Lin Hai has never heard the sound of the Buddha's chant that sounds like the sound of nature. Under this old and powerful Buddha's chant, the scriptures engraved on every brick in the Buddhist hall light up like a echoing golden light, reflecting the things in the tower extremely clearly.

.

A skinny old monk, whose whole body was filled with the mighty golden light of Buddhism, transformed into a phantom of the Dharma from a relic. He looked at Lin Hai with a smile. The Buddha's name that just surpassed the demon god Bailong was uttered by him.

.

Opposite the old monk, a monster inner elixir emitting white light was hovering in the air. Perhaps it was trapped here. It was a little afraid of the golden light of the masonry in the pagoda with scriptures engraved on it. At this time, it did not transform into a white dragon.

The shadow of the real body.

Although there was only one relic, the pressure this old monk brought to Lin Hai was no less than that of the demon god Bai Long who had just revealed his dragon power!

In addition, there is another mystery in this pagoda. Judging from the old monk's ability to stabilize Bailong's momentum with just one Buddha's name, his Taoism is even higher than expected!

"Did you lure me here? Why did Youzhou City become like this? Is this a scene from the future?"
