Chapter 2147 Nightmare Reef
"This..." Xiao Hua smiled bitterly, shook his head slightly, "Isn't the Saint River the source of the two seas? When did it go along with the Pure Land?"
"That's the truth!" Cihui nodded vigorously, and pointed to the white sails far away on the river and said, "This is all that we monks can know. But how many of these Buddhists can walk along the Saint River? Even those fishing boats on the river have never been from the West Sea to the East Sea, right? How do they know where the Saint River comes from and where they go?"
"Even if they have never seen each other and have never been there, they may not have heard of each other, right?" Xiao Huayou argued.
"Of course they have heard of it, and even they know that this river is called the Saint River! As my junior brother said before, this saint is a special name for Confucianism and is inseparable from my Buddhist sect. But do they believe it? Can they hear it intently?" Cihui smiled, "If there are hundreds or thousands of such legends, they are devout Buddhist people in my Pure Land world. Their hearts have long been illuminated by the light of my Buddha and will no longer accommodate other filth! Hundreds and thousands of legends only believe... what I Buddha said!"
"Amitabha, the little monk understands!" Xiao Hua sighed slightly, already understanding the trick. He was thinking about the benefits of faith before, but now he has seen the disadvantages of faith. Believing and becoming true is pious, but if you believe and being foolish is evil, but who is pious and who is evil, how can the Buddha people know? They can't jump out of the well and cannot tell the whereabouts of the river at all. Only monks like Xiao Hua who can jump out of the well can see the direction of the water flow clearly. However, when you think about the formation at the bottom of the West Sea, and then think about the huge edges of the three continents, Xiao Hua was shuddering again. He really didn't know how deep the well was!
While speaking, the green lion had already flew through this river bay. At the point where the river bay entered the river, the corpse of the old man that Xiao Hua had just seen slowly sank into the depths of the river water again. A few tiny vortexes grew from the sinking place, and these vortexes also flashed in a flash. Look at the vortex disappearing near. From time to time, a few white bones appeared from the river water, which seemed to be transformed from the corpse that had been buried in the water before!
"This... how dirty the river is!" Xiao Hua looked at it, too lazy to talk to the cheerful Cihui anymore, and felt a chill in his heart.
Fortunately, as the green lion flew into the middle of the river, the water became greener and greener. Nothing could be seen at the edge of the river. Some fish that were unwilling to be lonely became joyful. Flocks of birds also flew over from the side to join in the fun, which made Xiao Hua's somewhat dull heart happy.
Xin Xin ignored Xiao Hua and Cihui. She rode the strange bird and Gu Zhen in front of her head. The two of them kept saying something. It seemed to be discussing how to enter the dangerous place. At this time, she even flew straight into the middle of the river with the three of them. Seeing a strange reef exposed from the river water, she stopped again, looked at it briefly, slapped the monster bird's neck again, and flew towards the upstream of the Saint River.
After flying for half a day, he stopped again, turned to look at Xiao Hua and Cihui who were coming one after another, and pointed his hand lightly and said, "It's this!"
"Here?" Before Cihui could speak, Gu Zhen, who was standing next to Xin Xin, had a strange expression on his face, and seemed incredibly surprised, "Xin Tanyue is not wrong, right? This is the Nightmare Reef Bay of the Saint Jiang Youming. How could it be the location of the Taoist formation?"
"What's impossible?" Xin Xin smiled, "The formation of the Taoist sect is unpredictable, not to mention that this is the forbidden place that was passed down from ancient times?"
"Yes, I don't deny the Taoist formation. I don't doubt Tan Yue's discovery. I just feel that for thousands of years, I don't know how many Buddhist seniors have come here to explore. Could it be that they have not found any clues?" Gu Zhen seemed to have lost his calmness at this time. The expression on his face became even more anxious and he hurriedly asked.
Xiao Hua listened to what the two said, glanced at Cihui's frown and looked down at the river.
But the river surface at this time is really different from the previous places. The other river surfaces are all calm and quiet. Even if there are some storms, they are ordinary winds and waves. After the wind and waves, the river surface is flat. The river surface here is about a radius of several miles, with whirlpools of different sizes. These whirlpools make strange whimpering sounds, and wisps of strong wind either come out or enter rage on the river surface of several miles.
Also, these vortexes look messy, but there is a dark gray shadow between two or three vortexes, which cannot be dispelled even under the scorching sun.
Xiao Hua did not dare to release his divine thoughts. The messy wind in his mouth had already told him that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was very chaotic. It was not the orderly common in ordinary Taoist sect formations.
"Is there anything to say about Nightmare Reef Bay?" Xiao Hua glanced at the strangeness on the river surface a few times and asked Cihui in a low voice.
Cihui also turned her gaze from the river surface and smiled bitterly: "It's not just an explanation! It's simply notorious!"
"This water area is extremely strange. A feather falls on it. Even if it is not wrapped in a whirlpool, it will not float on the surface of the river! Any river boat passing by here, whether it is ordinary Buddhists or disciples of the Buddha Sect, cannot be spared. They sink into the water and turn into wood chips. The whole process is like having a nightmare, so it is called a nightmare reef by people nearby."
"The reason why it is called Nightmare Reef is that some people previously believed that there are a large number of reefs under this river, which has caused such a wonder. The river boats sank when they hit the reefs. However, after the exploration of my predecessors of the Buddha Sect, there is no reef in this water. Except for the lack of swimming fish under this water, there is no ordinary sea growth, and it is no different from the place next to it. Many of the predecessors have even used Tianmutong to explore, but they have found nothing except the river water."
"Over time, there will be no ship passing by here again, and no Buddhist sons come here to explore again! This place has become a stagnant water! It is even more like a nightmare!"
"It's more than that!" Cihui also turned her head and said viciously, "The range of these dozens of miles is very strange. At a specific time, an illusion will arise. The range of this illusion is extremely large, more than a hundred miles. Not only will the passing ships fall into it, but the mortals on the ship lose consciousness and enter a nightmare, and they will come out of this illusion, either crazy, happy, sad, or dementia, and even my Buddhist disciples cannot be spared. Of course, these people can get out of the illusion from the illusion.
It was a lucky chance to escape. When I was young, I had a junior brother who was ordered by my master to go to another place. I occasionally passed by this nightmare rock and accidentally encountered the illusion and lost my traces. I still don’t know how to live or die. My disciples from Jiangke Temple searched for several days, but I didn’t find any clues. I was also searching the list that day, and I used Buddhist knowledge to explore the edge of this water. I still remember the uneasiness and uneasiness in my heart at that time, for fear that the water would suddenly exert its might and suck me into it."
Speaking of this, Cihui looked down at the vortexes under her, which looked like small mouths, and sighed: "Since that day, I have never been here again, even if it is within a hundred miles. If it weren't for the fact that a girl Tan Yue brought her over today, I would never have come here!"
"So that's it!" Xin Xin nodded slightly, "No wonder the master reminded me before, and I didn't expect that there would be such an old thing in it."
"Oh, Amitabha, if it is as Nu Tan Yue said, this place is an extremely secret ancient magic array. Nu Tan Yue can take out the immortal weapon inside, break this magic array, and avenge my junior brother. Even if I cannot get the ancient Buddha's lottery, I will be willing!" Gu Zhen said this, quite sad.
Xin Xin's face was a little amused and laughed, "The master looks down on the little girl so much. This magic array was left in ancient times. Even if it is an immortal weapon, it is not the eye of the magic array. Even if you are lucky enough to get the magic array, you will not be able to destroy it. If so... if so, we can find the corpse of the master's junior brother... it is already good."
After hearing this, Gu Zhen's body trembled slightly, and he took a long breath, then smiled bitterly: "Corpsy? Alas, so many years have passed, where can I find the corpse? Even if there are, how many corpses have accumulated in it since ancient times? How could it be possible to tell it out?"
"Master?" Gu Zhen's reaction was very strange. Not only did Xiao Hua and Xin Xin see the abnormality, but Cihui was also confused and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"
"Haha, it's okay!" Gu Zhen grinned, "I just felt something and thought of the past."
After saying that, Gu Zhen urged again: "Empress Tan Yue, how can we enter this ancient magic circle?"
"Master, don't worry!" Xin Xin smiled, "The little woman naturally has the method to enter the magic array. However, the method to enter the magic array takes time, and we have to wait a little here!"
Gu Zhen raised his thick white eyebrows and suppressed his throat and asked, "Does it be...Is it necessary to wait for that...illusion to emerge?"
Xiao Hua's heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something.
Fortunately, Xin Xin next to him hurriedly explained: "The master of the good sect knows that the little girl doesn't know whether the illusion of this nightmare reef is related to the magic array. However, according to records, you don't have to go through any illusion array to enter the magic array, but you still have to wait for dusk, which is better at sunset."
