Chapter 3439
"Sigh …" Gu Zhen uses the demon subduing pestle to prop himself on the ground, making his body seem extremely heavy. He turns around to look at the crystal wall, especially the triangle they rushed out of, and says with lingering fear, "This … what kind of ancient formation is this!
How can it be so powerful?
It's just a passage, but there are demon beasts and strange insects comparable to fifth level essence energy cultivators inside. This demon beast is nothing, if we work together and risk getting injured, we can still kill it!
But these strange insects are impervious to fire and water, and can even devour our buddhist artifacts. They didn't even let go of this old monk's golden buddha statue, this … what are these things! "
Speaking up to here, Gu Zhen looks at Ci Hui and asks, "Just now you released the bodhi sarira to attract the strange insects, is your sarira seriously damaged?"
"Amitabha ~" Ci Hui lowers her head and says, "Many thanks for grandmaster's concern, disciple's sarira is fine!"
"That's good!"
Gu Zhen grins and smiles with difficulty, "This sarira is the proof of your enlightenment, don't be careless."
"Disciple understands." Ci Hui smiles faintly and stands up with some difficulty.
"Forget it, since we're here, we're one step closer to the ancient buddha's sarira."
Gu Zhen knocks the demon subduing pestle on the ground and calls out, "This old monk wants to see if there's anything else that can stop us."
Ci Hui doesn't rush to speak, instead looks around and reminds, "Grandmaster, there's no trace of Xin Tanyue and Ti Pu here, could it be … they still haven't come out of the passage?"
Saying so, Ci Hui looks worriedly at the many triangles on the huge wall, guessing where Xiao Hua and Xin Tanyue will rush out from.
"Sigh, Ci Hui …" Gu Zhen sighs and shakes his head, "This old monk advises you not to be delusional!
This passage is so dangerous, even if Xin Tanyue has an extraordinary background and an extremely powerful imperial artifact, I'm afraid he won't be able to escape.
You saw it yourself, those thousands of strange insects are definitely not something the two of them can deal with! "
Ci Hui frowns slightly and answers, "Alright, grandmaster knows, disciple feels that Ti Pu's cultivation is not below disciple's. With his help, Xin Tanyue might be able to rush out!"
"That's your feeling!"
Gu Zhen was not optimistic about Xiao Hua and Xin Xin's chances. "This old monk thinks that Di Pu's Buddhist treasure is somewhat powerful, but his Buddhist divine ability … is not worth mentioning."
"Perhaps … the paths they took were different!
He won't come out from here! "
After waiting for a while and not seeing any movement, Ci Hui asked hesitantly, "Grandmaster, should we proceed?"
"Of course, I'm already here. I can even smell the scent of the ancient Buddha. How can I not move forward?" Gu Zhen raised his Demon Subduing Pestle and said in high spirits.
"But …" Ci Hui spoke again, "Does Grandmaster have any medicine for injuries?
We are all heavily injured. If we don't treat our injuries, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with any abnormalities. "
"Hmm …" Gu Zhen nodded. He took out a few jade bottles and handed them to Ci Hui. "These are the medicines commonly used by Buddhists. Take a look and you'll understand.
There's no need for us to waste time. Let's take it as we go! "
Ci Hui accepted the bottles and nodded in agreement.
In front of Ci Hui and Gu Zhen was a huge corridor. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of huge blue stones. The stones were densely covered with strange patterns, and between the patterns were some simple runes. Wisps of obscure energy waves emanated from these runes.
The light on the blue stones was weak and not enough to illuminate the corridor. However, there was light coming from somewhere in the corridor, illuminating the entire place. As Ci Hui and Gu Zhen walked in, they could even see the runes above their heads clearly.
Looking at the huge corridor, Ci Hui was somewhat bewildered. She whispered, "Grandmaster, isn't this corridor a little too tall?
Even the Blackwater Palace we saw earlier wasn't this big! "
That was right. This corridor was as tall as the crystal wall that Ci Hui and Gu Zhen had rushed out of earlier. It was at least a thousand feet tall. Walking in it, Ci Hui and Gu Zhen were like ants. Even if Gu Zhen displayed his Golden Buddha Body, it was still pathetically small.
Gu Zhen didn't answer Ci Hui's question. Instead, he carefully took out the jade bottles and either swallowed them or applied them externally. After treating the wounds all over his body, he raised his eyes and glanced to the left. He said indifferently, "So what if it's tall?
There's no Buddha Ancestor or Buddha Light. It's just a void. "
"Amitabha!" Ci Hui's pale face blushed slightly. She put her palms together and said, "This disciple understands."
Gu Zhen no longer paid any attention to Ci Hui. He strode forward. His footsteps were heavy, but they were unusually firm. Clearly, he had to obtain the Ancient Buddha Lustre in the Profound Water Palace.
At this moment, Ci Hui was somewhat hesitant. She slowed down a few steps and walked behind Gu Zhen. Looking at Gu Zhen's tall back and the bloodstains on his monk robes and even the bloodstains on his feet, she narrowed her eyes. She also picked up the jade bottles and began applying medicine.
However, Ci Hui's somewhat clumsy movements clearly showed that she was rarely injured and was inexperienced.
In the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Ci Hui had already finished cleaning up. When he placed the jade bottle into his bosom, he bit his lips tightly. His slightly narrowed eyes from before had already opened. His eyes that were like stars revealed a kind of clarity.
The corridor was naturally a wall again. However, this wall was different from the crystal wall that Ci Hui and Gu Zhen had rushed out of. It was a huge azure rock!
Ci Hui couldn't release her Buddha Sense, so she naturally couldn't see the situation of the huge rock. However, her gaze fell on the huge rock. There were faint white clouds flowing in the azure sky. Obviously, there was a restriction on the huge rock. Since there was a restriction, Ci Hui was sure that there must be something behind the huge rock. Perhaps it was the Fairy Weapon that Xin Xin was looking for, or perhaps it was the Kaili that Gu Zhen was looking for!
Gu Zhen walked to the front of the stone wall. Without hesitation like Ci Hui expected, he turned and walked towards the right corridor. Ci Hui naturally followed suit. However, the moment he turned right, Ci Hui's shoulders suddenly trembled and she stopped. She then turned slightly and looked behind her from the corner of her eyes.
A wisp of slight hesitation floated in Ci Hui's eyes like smoke. She then said, "Grandmaster Gu Zhen …"
"Hmm?" Gu Zhen stopped and asked rather unhappily, "What's the matter?"
"This disciple feels that the direction you're going is wrong!" Ci Hui said with a sincere smile, "Grandmaster should take this path!"
With that, Ci Hui modestly turned sideways and put her palms together as if inviting Gu Zhen to go first.
"Oh?
Why is it this path and not the path that I have taken?
Could it be that you've discovered something? "
Gu Zhen's eyes widened. His surprised voice was very loud and clear, sounding as if he was asking a question.
Ci Hui was still gentle and amiable. She smiled and said, "How should I put it?
This disciple has a feeling that the Ancient Buddha Cai Li is in that direction.
If there's any evidence, this disciple doesn't have it. "
Gu Zhen frowned slightly. There were still traces of blood on his face. Although he had taken a Buddhist spiritual medicine, the medicine's effect was obviously not that effective. Gu Zhen's frown made him look extremely ferocious.
He seemed to be pondering. In the end, Ci Hui was somewhat puzzled. Just as she was about to raise her head, she heard Gu Zhen's voice again, "Fine. A Buddhist with a root of wisdom like you must be more sensitive to this sarira than this old monk. I'll listen to you!"
"Grandmaster, please ~" Ci Hui stretched out her hand and gestured for Gu Zhen to go first. She also expressed that she had no intention of having any thoughts about the Ancient Buddha Cai Li.
"Mm …" Gu Zhen nodded again. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes. However, Ci Hui didn't notice it.
In fact, there was nothing special about the two sides of the stone wall. Even the texture on the tall stone wall was similar. The smooth stone wall didn't have any decorations. It looked no different from a cave.
However, the passage seemed to be extremely long. Gu Zhen was in front and Ci Hui was behind. After walking for the time it took to finish a meal, there was still no door. It was as if the passage had no end.
Even so, Ci Hui was still careful. The Buddhist light around her flickered faintly. She was ready to receive the Profound Water Palace's attack at any time.
"Ci Hui …" Gu Zhen's footsteps slowed. He asked faintly, "Your feeling seems to be wrong!
Why haven't we seen anything after walking for so long?
Why don't … you return with this old monk? "
Ci Hui smiled, "Grandmaster, don't be anxious. Perhaps it's just ahead. This disciple's feeling should be right!"
Gu Zhen shook his head and said, "Ci Hui, although you know the Heaven's Feet, and you are one of the few disciples in our Buddhist League who is proficient in the Five Senses, the Heaven's Feet is just the Heaven's Feet, not the Heaven's Eyes, Heaven's Ears, and Mind Reading!
In this old monk's opinion, you should return with this old monk! "
Gu Zhen emphasized the 'mind-reading ability' so heavily that Ci Hui was quite puzzled. However, he hastily stopped Gu Zhen and said, "Grandmaster, please listen to this disciple. The ancient Buddha Cai Li is really in front of us. This disciple absolutely does not dare to deceive grandmaster!"
"Ci Hui, repent and be saved!"
Gu Zhen shouted. Without hesitation, he lifted his leg and was about to turn around. Boom! Gu Zhen's foot landed on the ground, causing the entire passage to shake. The stone wall actually emitted a faint brilliance as it shook.
"Oh?"
Gu Zhen was stunned. He looked at the bottom of his foot in disbelief, then took a step forward with his other foot. "Dong!" Another loud sound rang out, and the tunnel shook again.
"Amitabha?
What … what's going on? "
Gu Zhen was surprised. He wanted to lift his leg again, but Ci Hui was looking into the distance. He cried out involuntarily, "Grand … Grandmaster, you … you look over there!"
Boom! Another loud sound. This time, Gu Zhen's leg didn't land on the ground.
Gu Zhen immediately understood and hurriedly turned to look. Gu Zhen's expression changed greatly when he saw what was going on.
In the tunnel two hundred feet away, a giant had appeared out of nowhere!
This giant was several hundred zhang tall. Its huge body was suitable for walking in this enormous passage.
Only now did Ci Hui and Gu Zhen realize that the passage was so enormous that it was meant for this giant to pass through!
