Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven The Peacock

Zhuo Wangsun said: "A formation of peacocks? But the pattern of the Shiquan River is embroidered on the corner of your clothes." The visitor turned his head slightly, a long curly blond hair was exposed from the cloak, his smile was like a ray of sunshine in the dark night, although he couldn't see it clearly, it was extremely warm, warming the whole underground. He smiled lightly and said, "That's right, I was Sanggoruo, the guardian of the Shiquan River. However, the holy beast Sheyanti of the Peacock Spring died under Zhuang Yi's arrow, and the messenger Lanpa was killed by you. So I She will protect the peacock formation on her behalf."

Zhuo Wangsun said: "Perhaps you should kill me to avenge her." "That's natural." His tone is still so peaceful, as if this is the most logical thing: "So I will now guide you into the Peacock Formation. In the Peacock Formation, there are six options for each step, namely Shiva As long as you choose the wrong one of the six incarnations, you will fall into purgatory. Therefore, each step has only a one-in-sixth chance. And if you can make it to the end, the peacock formation will be solved. It’s just that Legend has it that since ancient times, no one has taken the fourth step."

The colorful stone pillars are like an old tree with luxuriant branches, with endless branches, so what is the possibility that every step can choose this one-sixth opportunity? Zhuo Wangsun turned his eyes back to him, and said calmly: "Since you are the guardian of this formation, then if I kill you, this formation will naturally be untied?" "That's right." Sangoruo replied with a smile, "It's just that you may not be able to kill me." Zhuo Wangsun said: "Maybe." His figure suddenly moved.An extremely powerful internal force has reached Sanggoruo in an instant.

If Sang Ge didn't dodge or did not have time to dodge at all, the energy had already exploded suddenly, and the blue stone pillar under his feet was actually broken by the explosion energy, almost breaking into pieces above half of his waist.And Sang Geruo's black figure trembled violently in the howling airflow, and then it also shattered, turning into thousands of dust and flying in all directions. The stone chips collapsed and fell from a height into the mercury lake underground.The mirror of mercury in the lake suddenly shattered into pieces, splashing silver light all over the sky, like flying flowers raining down all over the sky.

Zhuo Wangsun's figure was still in the air, he was about to land on the half of the stone pillar, but his thoughts suddenly moved for some reason.As soon as he flicked his sleeves, a light curtain unfolded from under his hands, and the splashed mercury beads were scattered away like touching the barrier.And his figure also used his strength to swipe to the side, and fell soundlessly onto the statue of the God of Destruction on the left. At that moment, the light in the entire underground seemed to be taken away in an instant, and it was dark for a moment, and then there was a loud bang from the center of the earth, which only shook the four walls, and the same sound hummed endlessly.However, the other five stone pillars are sinking rapidly at an incredible speed!In just a moment, the five stone pillars several feet high were all submerged in that lake of mercury.

The surroundings gradually became silent, leaving only the silver ripples on the lake surface, just like the ice pool under the moon, which is unbelievably beautiful. However, Sangoruo's figure gradually took shape as if gathering dust and mustard, and stood tall on the fifth branch of the third stone pillar. Zhuo Wangsun looked at him coldly and didn't speak. "You are very lucky to have chosen the correct one." Sangoruo paused, then smiled again: "In the Mandala religion, Mandala is not the only one who is proficient in escape. And you forgot, this is the place of reincarnation. The tunnel is full of the power of the secret magic left by the gods. Everything is stretched and deformed here, even the images you see are no exception, so although you see me here, I may not be there. In In your eyes, I am just an invisible shadow that cannot be killed."

No matter how strong a person is, there is no way to kill a shadow. Everyone seems to understand this truth. Sang Geruo slowly raised a wide sleeve hanging down to the ground, and said with a smile: "So, what you can do is to follow me and walk into the peacock formation step by step. If your luck can help you to the last step , you can finally get out of this formation. Otherwise, you will be trapped here forever." He suddenly raised his head: "Now, you can choose the next step." The colorful pillars seem to be endless, extending like the depths of the night.And the incarnation of Shiva on the six stone pillars in front of you is lifelike and colorful.Either dance in the flames, or draw a bow under the heavy city, or be happy, or angry, or pity all living beings, or destroy the Three Realms.And among these endless choices, is there a certain law?Luck cannot be relied on for long, but law is the only solution to this array of secret demons.

Zhuo Wangsun's expression sank, his eyes swept across the rows of stone pillars. There seemed to be countless colorful pillars in the formation, and each branch branched out into six branches, and the arrangement of these six branches was extremely messy, as if they had no similarities.Could it be that this dark law is hidden under this messy arrangement? The tunnel was dark, cold and damp, and a corrupt smell came out. Di Jia raised his sleeves, blocked Acacia's eyes, and said: "This tunnel can lead to the fifth holy spring, and it is also a holy place for Mandala worship. There are various scenes of sacrifices displayed in it. Before you see it, the last Good to be prepared."

Xiangsi took a deep breath and gently pushed his hand away: "I can bear it." Dijia raised his hand, and two rows of flaming torches lit up on the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel.The tunnel was suddenly brightly lit, as if it were daytime. The thick and huge stone walls on both sides have been covered with dark red moss, like the skin of a long-ill person, looking gloomy and dirty.But the stone slab under his feet glowed a strange red light under the light. When Xiangsi looked down, she found that the ground was actually transparent. Through the stone slabs, she could vaguely see that she was standing on a long underground river.The river leads straight into the distance along with the tunnel, and the light and shadow inside are gloomy, as if filled with some kind of liquid.That pungent, corrupt smell mixed with some inexplicable smell emanated from the ground, making people want to vomit.

Xiangsi held back forcibly and took a step forward.A strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart, she was stepping on a shadow under her feet, and this shadow seemed to be floating slowly! Acacia was startled, but couldn't help but look down. The faint light shone, and the liquid under his feet was even greener to bluish, making everyone's eyebrows and eyes blue. In that liquid, unexpectedly there was a dead body floating up and down. It was an extremely beautiful Brahmin girl. She was completely naked, like a newborn baby, but her hands were cut behind her back, from her wrists to her ankles, her whole body was tightly bound by extremely thin red threads, and the deep red scars stretched like a net Clothed on her flushed skin, it revealed a very strange but also very seductive gesture.

What is even more seductive is her life-like face. Although her beautiful eyes are closed tightly, the slender eyelashes and rose-colored lips make people almost forget that she is dead. It seems that as long as you whisper in her ear, she Will wake up lazily, looking at the world around me in a daze.Even the people who bound her seemed unable to bear to destroy her beauty, the rope carefully avoided her face, her hair floating in the water like a lotus. Just her boobs. Her chest has been ripped apart, and all the internal organs have been stripped away. The surgeon seems to be extremely careful, as if carving a handicraft, and will never leave a trace of extra meridians, and will not take away even a single one by mistake. Small muscles.From the wide open incision, you can see the smooth muscles of her back and the delicate spine under the thin body membrane.Her whole body seemed to have undergone special treatment, without any trace of congestion. It seemed that the muscles on the back were her smooth skin itself, and the huge wound on her chest was just a weird decoration. In her empty chest cavity, a few jet-black vines sprouted, winding upwards, clinging to the stone wall, almost coming out of the ground.And there are a few small flowers the size of broad beans blooming on the vine, red and glistening, like the shape of a heart, under the tension of the strange waves, it seems to be silently pulsating with a certain rhythm. Although this scene is not particularly disgusting and frightening, it is extremely weird and makes people feel a chill all over their bodies inexplicably. Xiangsi couldn't help taking a step back, her voice was hoarse: "What is this?" Di Jia said: "The sacrifice of the gods." Xiangsi shook her head, and suddenly her voice turned sharp: "You did it?" Di Jia put a finger between his eyebrows and said calmly: "It's them." Xiangsi murmured: "You're crazy..." She looked up at him, her eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger, and after a long time, she turned her gaze to the underground river, and said in a trembling voice: "Here...are all the people here? " Dijia looked into the distance and said: "Yes. This dark river is the deepest and calmest place between heaven and earth, and it will not change a little for thousands of years. The sacrifices sleeping here will be like returning to the gods. Embrace, and get eternal sleep." He looked back at Acacia, and said: "The general sacrifices will be cremated after the sacrifice, and only the grandest and most holy sacrifices can be kept in the dark river. Sacrifice the body and soul To the great Lord Shiva." He paused, then cast his eyes into the distance: "——this is the immortality of mortals." His expression was so lofty, full of God's compassion for mortals, Xiangsi shook her head lightly, but clenched her fists tighter and tighter, she suddenly said: "Let me go!" She threw him away, turned and ran to the door. However, a huge boulder stands in front of him, covered with moss, it seems that it has not been moved for thousands of years. Could the entrance just now be just an illusion? When looking back, the Styx River in front of him stretched into the distance accompanied by two rows of torches, and the entire passage was shrouded in a strange red light. Gritting her teeth, Xiangsi turned and ran to the other end of the passage. Di Jia watched her silently behind her, and didn't seem to want to chase after her. However, Acacia's figure suddenly stopped.She stared at her feet and seemed to see something unbelievable.The great panic made her forget to move her eyes away, and she stared straight at the dark river. After an unknown amount of time, she took a step back, unable to stand on her feet, and almost fell down. With a movement of his body, Di Jia had already come behind her, reached out to support her, and sighed, "You said you could bear it." Xiangsi hissed: "Impossible, how could it be!" Di Jia looked at the corpse in the Styx. She floated quietly in the blue waves, her long hair fluttering, and a happy smile on her face.But her body was cut with a cross in the middle, and the blunt and heavy wound was like a bright red ribbon, wrapped around her graceful body. Dijia said lightly: "You are right. This is the first six heavenly sacrifices completed in a hundred years. Although the person who presided over the sacrifice died in the end, she must have offered the most solemn sacrifice for the god. " Xiangsi still shook her head in disbelief, and said, "This, is this Lanpa..." Di Jia said: "Not only her, but all the corpses of the six heavenly sacrifices are here. You should know these people." Xiangsi couldn't help casting her eyes forward, and several other familiar faces suddenly came into view.She immediately turned her face away and said, "But...but I saw with my own eyes that all the corpses were buried at sea!" Dijia smiled and said: "Everything in the world belongs to Shiva. It is not difficult for the Mandala to get these corpses from the sea." Xiangsi took a deep breath, stared at the endless river, and said word by word: "I just want to ask you, why did these people die?" Di Jia's eyes are still as calm as a deep pool of still water.He said slowly, "It's me who gave them death for God." Xiangsi's voice turned from fear to anger: "Is this your practice? Is this your teaching?" Di Jia sighed: "You still don't understand. In my eyes, life and death are just two states of the soul's sojourn. For those who believe in God, I relieve the suffering of life, get the joy of death, and accompany the gods forever." Xiangsi said angrily, "What nonsense!" Dijia frowned and said, "It doesn't matter if you understand or not. But the road to Sun Yao is still long, since you can't bear it, you might as well close your eyes and follow me." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to her. Xiangsi turned her face away from looking at him, and retreated to the stone wall, trying to close her eyes and support the stone wall to move forward. However, this stone wall is too dirty.The layer of rust moss was the color of a blood scab and exuded a disgusting stench. Her outstretched hand could not fall on the stone wall. But what about Tiga's hand? Are those neat and slender fingers also covered with invisible sin and blood? She stood in front of the stone wall, frowning, hesitating. Di Jia said: "A little further on, the walls and the center of the tunnel will be filled with carrion corpses. If you want to walk by yourself, you will inevitably bump into them." Acacia shivered, and said, "Why are there rotting corpses?" Di Jia said: "Sit quietly in front of the corpse and watch it rot day by day. This is a method of Yu Jia's visualization. Almost every mandala believer will practice. If you have practiced like this, you must not Will be as obsessed with life and death as today." Xiangsi covered her ears, shook her head and said, "Stop talking!" Her voice was extremely sharp, like a scream in a nightmare, and she only hoped that this harsh voice could wake her up from the devil. After a long time, she calmed down, seemed a little weak, and said softly: "Is it because I go with you to see Ri Yao, if she says I'm not Pavanti, then I can leave?" "No." Di Jia shook his head slowly: "If you regret it now, I can still let you go down the mountain. But it will be different once you see Sun Yao." Xiangsi asked in surprise, "Why?" Di Jia sighed and said, "Because the fifth holy spring is a forbidden place for gods. Once a mortal set foot there, he must pay for his sins with death. So—" He stared at her, stretched out his hand to hold her cheek, there was pity in his eyes but also showed Somewhat grimly: "If you are not Pavanti, then you can only be my most perfect sacrifice and sleep in the river of Styx forever." Xiangsi was stunned, unable to make a sound for a long time.Under the firelight, the face of the person in front of him seemed cloudy and uncertain, and it was always difficult to see clearly. Could it be that I still think wrong.After all, this person is a demon who lives deep in the shrine, murders without calculation, and eats blood. Is this the demon king Bo Xun who came with the end of the world? Is this an inevitable disaster for all living beings in the world? Di Jia still said gently: "Are you still willing to come with me?" Xiangsi just looked up at him blankly like this, and after an unknown amount of time, the fear in her eyes gradually dissipated, instead revealing a kind of peace. With a long sigh, she broke the deathly silence around her, and said, "Since this is the case, if I go, are you willing to promise me one thing?" Di Jia said: "You say." Acacia hesitated.At this moment, there are thousands of thoughts in her heart, all rushing to her heart.She knew that her life was likely to be suspended in this dark river, but now she could make a request. What should she ask for?She blurted out a few times, wanting Dijia to allow her to meet with Zhuo Wangsun before the sacrifice, or just pass a few words to him... However, she finally lowered her eyes and said softly: "I still can't understand you If there is no joy in life, then what is the meaning of joy in death? Life is the most precious thing, although it is not eternal, but it belongs to yourself... Maybe you will think I am stupid, I can’t realize it, but I still ask you to promise me——If I go with you, you will never perform such sacrifices again, okay?” Ti Jia stared at her with an indescribable look in his eyes.He finally nodded: "If you are, I can fully awaken as Lord Shiva, so naturally I don't need to sacrifice. If you are not, with you as a sacrifice, everything must be enough." Xiangsi closed her eyes, took his hand lightly, and said, "Now you can take me to see Ri Yao."
