"This …" Xiao Hua bitterly smiled and slightly shook his head, "Isn't Saint River the source of the two seas?
When did it connect to the Land of Bliss? "
"That's the truth!"
Ci Hui vigorously nodded and pointed at the distant white sails on the river, "This is something that cultivators like us can know.
However, how many of these Buddhists can walk along this Saint River?
Even those fishing boats on the river have never gone from the West Sea to the East Sea, right?
How do they know where this Saint River came from and where it went? "
"Even if they have never seen it and never went there, they might not have never heard of it, right?" Xiao Hua continued to argue.
"They naturally have heard of it, and they even know that this river is called Saint River!
Just like what Junior Brother said before, this Saint is a special name for Confucian cultivators, it has nothing to do with my Buddhist sect.
But do they believe it?
Will they even listen? "
Ci Hui smiled, "Not to mention that there are hundreds and thousands of such legends, they are devout Buddhists of my Pure Land World, their hearts have long been illuminated by my Buddha's light, they will not tolerate other filth!
Hundreds and thousands of legends, they only believe … my Buddha's words! "
"Amitabha, this little monk understands!"
Xiao Hua slightly sighed, he already understood the trick. Previously, he was still thinking about the benefits of faith, now he saw the drawbacks of faith.
To believe and be true is to be devout, but to believe and be foolish is to be evil, but who is devout and who is evil, how can Buddhists know?
They can't jump out of the well, they can't distinguish the direction of the river. Only cultivators like Xiao Hua who can jump out of the well can clearly see the direction of the river.
However, thinking about the great formation at the bottom of the West Sea and the vast border of the three continents, Xiao Hua shuddered. He really doesn't know how deep this well is!
While speaking, the azure lion has already flown over this river bend. At the place where the river bend enters the river, the old man's corpse that Xiao Hua just saw once again emerged a few times and slowly sank into the depths of the river. At the place where the corpse sank, a few small whirlpools appeared, these whirlpools also disappeared in a flash.
Looking at the place where the whirlpools disappeared, from time to time, a few white bones emerged from the river, it seems to be the corpses that were previously buried in the water!
"This … how dirty is this river!" Xiao Hua looked, he was too lazy to talk to the excited Ci Hui, his heart felt a chill.
Fortunately, as the azure lion flew into the heart of the river, the water became increasingly green, the things that could be seen at the river's edge also disappeared, some fish that were unwilling to be left out also rejoiced, flocks of birds also flew from the side to join in the fun, it made Xiao Hua's somewhat somewhat gloomy heart.
Xin Xin didn't pay attention to Xiao Hua and Ci Hui. She rode the strange bird and flew in front of Gu Zhen. The two of them kept talking about something. They seemed to be discussing how to enter the danger zone.
At this moment, she led the three of them straight into the heart of the river. Seeing a strangely shaped reef emerging from the river, she stopped again and looked at it. Then, she patted the strange bird's neck again and flew towards the upper reaches of the Saint River.
After flying for half a day, he finally stopped. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Hua and Ci Hui who were following behind him. He faintly pointed below and said, "It's here!"
"Here?"
Before Ci Hui could speak, Gu Zhen, who was standing next to Xin Xin, had a strange look on his face. He seemed to be in disbelief as he said, "Is Xin Tanyue wrong?
This is the famous Nightmare Reef Bay of the Sage River. How could it be the location of the Dao Sect's array formation? "
"What's impossible?"
Xin Xin smiled and said, "Daoism's array formations are unpredictable to begin with. Moreover, this is a forbidden area passed down from ancient times."
"That's right. I'm not denying Taoism's formation, nor am I doubting Tan Yue's discovery. I just feel that countless Buddhist seniors have come here to explore for thousands of years. How could they not find any clues?" Gu Zhen seemed to have lost his composure at this moment. His expression became even more anxious as he hurriedly asked.
When Xiao Hua heard the two's words, he glanced at Ci Hui's frown and lowered his head to look at the river.
He saw that the river's surface was completely different from before. The other parts of the river were completely calm. Even if there were some surging waves, they were ordinary waves. After the waves passed, the river's surface was completely flat.
The river had a circumference of a few miles, and was filled with whirlpools of different sizes. These whirlpools were letting out strange moaning noises, and gusts of strong wind were blowing in and out of the river, wreaking havoc in this area.
Also, these whirlpools looked disorderly and disorderly, but there was a dark gray shadow between two or three whirlpools. This shadow couldn't be dispelled even under the scorching sun.
Xiao Hua didn't dare to release his spiritual sense. The chaotic wind around his nose already told him that the world's spiritual energy here was extremely chaotic.
It wasn't the kind of order that was commonly seen in Daoism's array formations.
Xiao Hua glanced at the strangeness of the river and asked Ci Hui in a low voice, "Is there a saying in Nightmare Reef Bay?"
Ci Hui also shifted her gaze away from the river and said with a bitter smile, "It's not just a saying!
It's simply a notorious name! "
"This body of water is extremely strange. If a feather falls on it, even if it doesn't get sucked into a whirlpool, it won't float on the river's surface!
All the boats that pass through here, regardless of whether they belong to ordinary Buddhists or Buddhist Sect disciples, are not spared. They all sink into the water and turn into wood chips.
The entire process is like a nightmare, so it's called Nightmare Reef Bay by the people nearby. "
"The reason why it's called Nightmare Reef Bay is because there were previously people who believed that there were a large number of reefs under the river that caused such a strange scene. Those boats also sank after touching the reefs. However, after the investigations of my Buddhist Sect's seniors, there isn't a single reefs under this body of water. Apart from the fact that there aren't any fish or ordinary marine life, there isn't anything different here.
There are even many seniors who used Heaven's Eyes to investigate, but apart from the river … they found nothing. "
"As time passed, no more ships passed by this place, and no more Arhat came here to investigate!
This place became a stretch of stagnant water!
It's like a nightmare that no one likes! "
"That's not all!"
Ci Hui turned her head at this moment and said rather viciously, "This area of several dozen miles is very strange. At specific times, it will produce an illusion. The illusion's range is extremely large, more than a hundred miles. Not only will the passing boats fall into it, the mortals on the boats will also lose their senses and enter a nightmare. When they come out of the illusion, they will either go crazy, be happy, be sad, or become demented, and so on and so forth.
Even my Buddhist Sect disciples are not spared.
Of course, these people can be considered lucky to be able to escape from the illusion.
When this old monk was young, I had a junior brother who was ordered by his master to go somewhere else. He occasionally passed by the Nightmare Reef Bay and accidentally encountered the illusion. He disappeared without a trace, and to this day, it's unknown whether he's alive or dead.
My Crimson Reed Temple sent out disciples to search for several days, but they didn't find any clues.
This old monk was also part of the search that day, and even used my Buddhist Awareness to explore the borders of this body of water.
This old monk still clearly remembers the apprehension and uneasiness in my heart at that time, afraid that this body of water would suddenly unleash its power and suck me in. "
At this point, Ci Hui lowered her head and looked at the mouth-like vortexes below her. She sighed and said, "Since that day, Old Monk has never come here again. I haven't even come within a hundred miles of this place.
If not for Nü Tanyue bringing me here today, this old monk definitely wouldn't have come! "
"So that's how it is!"
Xin Xin nodded slightly, "No wonder Great Master reminded this one earlier. This one didn't expect there to be such an old story."
"Ah, amitabha. If it's as Nü Tanyue said, this place is an extremely hidden ancient formation, Nü Tanyue can take out the immortal weapon inside and destroy this formation to avenge my junior brother.
Even if this old monk can't obtain the ancient Buddhist Kaili, this old monk is still willing! "Gu Zhen said somewhat sadly.
Xin Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and she smiled apologetically, "Great Master thinks too highly of this little girl.
This formation was left behind from ancient times. Even an immortal weapon is not the formation eye of the formation. Even if this one is lucky enough to obtain an immortal weapon, it's impossible to destroy this formation.
If … if it's possible, we can find the corpse of the junior brother that Great Master mentioned … It's already good enough. "
Hearing this, Gu Zhen's body trembled slightly. He actually took a long breath, and then said with a wry smile, "Corpse?
Ah, so many years have passed. How can we still find a corpse?
Even if there are, how many corpses have been piled up since ancient times?
How can we still distinguish them? "
"Grandmaster?"
Gu Zhen's reaction was very strange. Not only did Xiao Hua and Xin Xin see the abnormality, but Ci Hui was also somewhat puzzled. She asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with you?"
"Haha, it's nothing!" Gu Zhen grinned, "This old monk just has a slight feeling and thought of the past."
Then, Gu Zhen urged again, "Nü Tanyue, how do we enter this ancient formation?"
"Great Master, don't worry!" Xin Xin said with a smile, "This little girl naturally has a way to enter the formation.
It's just that it takes time to enter this formation, so we'll have to wait here for a while! "
Gu Zhen raised his thick white eyebrows and asked in a low voice, "Could it be … that we have to wait for that … illusion to appear?"
Xiao Hua's heart also thumped, seeming to understand something.
Fortunately, Xin Xin hurriedly explained, "Great Master, this little girl doesn't know whether the illusion of the Nightmare Reef Rock is related to the formation, but according to the records, entering the formation doesn't need to go through any illusion formation, but we still have to wait until dusk, or sunset."
"Sunset?"
Hearing this, Xiao Hua and the other two involuntarily raised their heads. However, at this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds. How could they see the sun?
When the three people's puzzled gazes fell on Xin Xin's face, she clapped her hands and took out an ink cloud pupil. She said with a wry smile, "The situation inside is all in this ink cloud pupil, but … there are some origin formation restrictions inside that others can't see."
