Journey to the West: Reverse Buddha

Chapter 8 Dry Well
The old village chief ran out panting, and suddenly, Ji Sheng disappeared in place.The old village chief was stunned, and hurriedly summoned the middle-aged men in the village to chase in the direction where Fat Tiger was escaping.

Fat Tiger ran out of the village desperately as if he had been injected with chicken blood. No matter how Ji Sheng yelled behind him, he ignored it and just rushed forward.

He ran to the foot of the lonely mountain in one breath, and ran up the mountain frantically without any hesitation.When Ji Sheng saw this, his face suddenly changed, and a strong uneasiness appeared in his heart!

He must be stopped immediately before he reaches the back mountain.Seeing the direction in which Fat Tiger was leaving, Ji Sheng thought to himself.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Sheng suddenly smiled, and tapped the ground with his feet to get into the dense forest beside him.

The fat tiger is like a calf, slamming left and right and jumping towards the dry well in the back mountain.Suddenly a figure flew out from the nearby dense forest, it was Ji Sheng.

Ji Sheng opened his arms, stopped in front of Fat Tiger, and shouted loudly: "Fat Tiger! Stop!"

But Fat Tiger's red eyes were bloodshot.Seemingly unable to see or hear anything, he slammed straight into Jisheng.Jisheng was surprised, and deeply felt that what was in front of him seemed to be not a child but a ferocious monster!The moment Fat Tiger hit his chest, he suddenly dodged to the side, dodging the blow.But at the same time, Ji Sheng's ape arm lightly relaxed, grabbing Fat Tiger's shoulder, like a pair of pliers, firmly clasped it!

But that fat tiger's strength was beyond common sense, it was extremely fierce, and he didn't care about Ji Sheng's hand to restrain him.He simply led Jisheng forward and rushed forward crazily. Jisheng was so shocked that even his own strength couldn't shake the fat tiger at all!

The surrounding vegetation is getting less and less, Ji Sheng is anxious, what should we do now?Ji Sheng turned his head and saw the faint light of the fire behind him, but he didn't have time to come to help.There is a dry well ahead, and Fat Tiger will surely die by then!
While thinking about it, Fat Tiger's speed became faster and faster, and he arrived at the barren land of the back mountain in a few moments.A few steps away was the strange dry well. When Ji Sheng saw the dry well, a deep chill suddenly appeared in his heart, and his expression changed in vain.

At this time, Fat Tiger had already reached the edge of the dry well, and his body suddenly froze.Ji Sheng hurriedly stood in front of him, put his hands on Fat Tiger's body and pushed away desperately, away from the dry well.

In Fat Tiger's red eyes, the expression gradually disintegrated, and the life energy in his body also slowly disappeared.Ji Sheng turned pale with shock, knowing that the situation was not good.But no matter how hard Ji Sheng exerted himself, his own strength was like a mud cow falling into the sea, and it didn't have any effect on him at all.Fat Tiger stood there rigidly, without any movement.

At this time, Jisheng suddenly saw a fire light up, and it was the old village chief who led his men to chase him here.When the old village chief saw Jisheng and Panghu, he said with relief, "Fathu!" A middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body ran out, rushed in front of Panghu and embraced him in his arms.

Ji Sheng hurriedly said: "Uncle, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly." The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

The old village chief also took a step forward, and said with a worried expression, "Yes, that's right. Old Guozi, we'll wait until we get to the village."

Tears flickered in Lao Guozi's eyes, he nodded heavily, and hugged Fat Tiger with both hands.Frowning, he said, "When did this kid get so heavy? I can't even hold him."

Hearing this, the old village head stepped forward and gave it a try.His complexion suddenly changed, no matter how hard he tried, the fat tiger seemed to be sucked by the ground under his feet, and remained motionless.

At this time, there was a rumbling and violent sound coming from the dry well, and everyone's expressions froze suddenly, revealing deep fear, knowing what was going to happen next.

The old village head hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's help together." Immediately, a dozen burly and strong men gathered around and tried to lift the fat tiger together, but the result was the same. The fat tiger was as heavy as a hill. Can't move at all!

Suddenly Ji Sheng felt the hairs on his back stand on end, and a deep chill swept over his whole body in an instant.Ji Sheng suddenly turned his head and found that in the dry well, a dense black mist spewed out from it, as black as ink soaked, Ji Sheng shook his body, and felt that there seemed to be a terrifying monster dormant in the black mist!
"The black mist has appeared!" Ji Sheng reminded loudly.

The faces of the old village head and the villagers suddenly turned pale, and the old village head said anxiously: "Jisheng, you go first!" He and other middle-aged people stepped up their efforts to catch the fat tiger, but it was useless.The old village chief was heartbroken, stomped his feet, and ordered: "You guys go!"

The villagers hesitated for a moment and found that the old village chief's face was full of determination, so they immediately evacuated from this place of right and wrong.

The old village head looked at Ji Sheng, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his blood suddenly lost.He stretched out his trembling hand towards Jisheng, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.It turned out that when the black mist was about to engulf the fat tiger, Ji Sheng stood in front of the fat tiger and took the initiative to rush forward and jump into the black mist.The black mist enveloped Jisheng in an instant, and the well seemed to be alive. Suddenly, a suction force appeared, sucking the black mist and Jisheng into the well.

Everything was said to be too late and then quickly, and it was over in a few moments.

The heart palpitations that the old village chief felt also disappeared, and the old man burst into tears and murmured: "My child, I hurt you."

Fat Tiger's lifeless body came back to life, and his broken eyes were clear again, very agile.Then he looked around curiously, and saw that his father was covering his face and weeping, his face ashen ashes.Fat Tiger tilted his head in doubt and asked, "Father, why are you crying? Shame!" Then he slid his fingers on his face and smiled.

Lao Guozi raised his eyes and found that the fat tiger had returned to its original state. He smiled and said, "That's great, God opened his eyes! Take care of my old Guo family and return my fat tiger to me!" He bowed to the sky .

The old village chief was trembling all over, staggering, as if he had been hit hard, and suddenly his vision went dark and he passed out.Hearing the strange noise, Lao Guozi looked around quickly and found the old village chief lying unconscious on the ground. He quickly got up and greeted Fat Hu and said, "Fat Tiger, come, help me support the village chief, and I will carry him back to the village." , with the help of Fat Hu, carried the old village chief on his back and hurried away with Fat Hu.

The moonlight is bright, hanging high in the sky, shining like water, like frost and snow falling on the world, falling on this barren land, around the dry well.The moonlight is soft and silvery, like a clear pond.

The dark wind blows away the light black mist, quietly surrounds the dry well, silently covering this barren land...

Jisheng didn't want to see the pain of Fat Hu and his son being separated from life and death, so he decided to replace Fat Hu, and he was wrapped up in the black mist.When the black mist enveloped Ji Sheng's body in an instant, Ji Sheng suddenly felt as if he had entered a gravitational magnetic field. His body was as if nailed in the mist, and he couldn't even move his fingers.The eyes are pitch black, nothing can be seen, only the boundless darkness, as if eternal!In the process of falling into the dry well, there was only one eerie voice that kept echoing in my ears and mind: "...I... want... to see... the sky... the sun..."

boom!There was a sudden roar in my head, as if the sea of ​​consciousness was about to explode, ah!Ji Sheng let out a miserable cry, immediately lost consciousness and passed out.

Legend has it that this world was originally dark, but 8000 years later, there was a giant god Pangu who opened up the world and transformed mountains and rivers; another 8000 years later, there was Nuwa who created man.

According to legend, the first light between heaven and earth was born in the darkest place.

Jisheng's eyelids trembled slightly, and a bone-piercing chill spread all over his body.With a jolt, Jisheng woke up with a start, ah, Jisheng had a splitting headache, so he patted his head hard, which made him feel a little better.

Trying to recall everything that happened, Ji Sheng suddenly touched his body with both hands, feeling that his flesh and blood were still firmly growing on his body, he let out a long breath.Patting his chest, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I didn't get eaten by that monster."

Jisheng calmed down, opened his eyes wide, and looked around curiously.Although the surroundings were still dark, Ji Sheng's eyes quickly adapted to the pitch-black environment, and he was able to vaguely distinguish the appearance of things in front of him.

There is no water in the naturally formed space at the bottom of the well, on the contrary it is very dry.Ji Sheng leaned against the wall, and his footsteps landed lightly, fearing to disturb the unknown terror in the darkness, he groped around carefully.

ah!Ji Sheng's right hand suddenly touched an unidentified object as thick as a snake's body, and he was startled, breaking out in a cold sweat.Perhaps it was the recent events that made Jisheng's nerves tense all the time, so he was a little taken aback.Ji Sheng took a closer look and found that it was an ancient vine surrounded by one person, spreading and growing on the rough stone wall.

Ji Sheng looked up, and a section of the ancient vine was connected with endless darkness, as if extending from ancient times.Looking around, there are also three ancient vines on the rough stone walls in the other three directions. The desolate and ancient atmosphere seems to announce its long history to the world.

Ji Sheng suddenly felt something, and looked down along the ancient vines. These four ancient vines criss-crossed and converged at one point at Ji Sheng's feet.The black mist appeared and disappeared on it, Ji Sheng blinked, guessing in his heart that this might be the source of the gnawing black mist.

Jisheng slowly stepped forward and squatted down, carefully looking at the center of the four ancient vines, the black mist that was like a demon just now is no more than the size of a fist.Jisheng reached out his hand curiously to grab it, but before he could hold it, the black mist dissipated.When Ji Sheng's little hand was removed, they gathered into a ball the size of a fist again.Ji Sheng smiled, feeling quite amusing, regardless of whether his situation was dangerous or not, he became playful for a while, and tried several times in a row against the black fog, but the result was the same.

Suddenly Ji Sheng felt a tingling pain coming from his fingertips, Ji Sheng felt the pain and immediately moved his fingers to the tip of his nose to have a look, but it was the tip of his index finger that was pierced by the barb on the ancient vine.

Jisheng put his index finger in his mouth, sucked a few mouthfuls and dealt with it briefly.Pooh!Ji Sheng melted the blood sucked out of his mouth into his saliva and spit it out, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and landed in the center where the ancient vines intersected.Immediately, the four ancient vines retracted like an electric shock, as if they were afraid of something, twisted their thick vines, and disappeared into the darkness without stopping.

Jisheng was stunned for a moment, and soon his eyes fell on the ground after Guteng disappeared, where strange lines suddenly appeared...
