The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 114
Patriarch Chen Tuan frowned, stared at Zhao Gou who was lying on the hospital bed, and sighed faintly. He was accepted as a disciple because of his predestined relationship with Zhao Gou.If he hadn't understood the secrets of heaven and knew that Zhao Gou was in danger, so he set off and came here in person, I am afraid that Zhao Gou's test would be really difficult to pass.

Patriarch Chen Tuan asked everyone to retreat and stayed in the room alone, while everyone waited anxiously outside.Walking to the bed, he put his right hand on Zhao Gou's forehead, took his pulse again, and said in surprise, "I didn't expect that he had really mastered this skill, and even reached the realm of internal power and external release. It's just that Taoists Your true qi is somewhat different from the internal force of the Buddhist school, you are really seeking your own death, and the balance of yin and yang is broken, how can you wake up."

"If you come a little later, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to heaven. This son is extremely talented. Not only has he comprehended the inner strength of the Taoist school, but even the inner strength of the Buddhist school has reached the state of minor completion, which is unparalleled in the world. Although Buddhism and Taoism are not sworn enemies, It's not a martial art that can be mastered at will, it's fine if it's a foreigner's kung fu, but it's also an internal force, so things will be troublesome."

Ancestor Chen Tuan murmured to himself, and then sealed the eight extraordinary meridians on Zhao Gou's body, preventing the chaotic flow of true energy, but found that Zhao Gou seemed to have lost his soul, not as if he was simply genuine. He was confronted with Qi, and he used his internal force recklessly, causing it to be killed too much. He couldn't help but look dignified. After examining it carefully, he exclaimed, "Not good!"

Ancestor Chen Tuan was surprised to find that Zhao Gou seemed to have lost his soul at this time. There was only a body here, and there was no essence, energy, and spirit. He couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and he quickly helped Zhao Gou rose up, and fell down again.In desperation, Patriarch Chen Tuan had no choice but to forcibly hold Zhao Gou in place, allowing him to sit cross-legged, and then channeled his own internal energy into Zhao Gou's body to guide Zhao Gou's aura back to normal, and Chen Tuan With complex and unknown imprints on both hands, the ancestor muttered something, his eyes suddenly burst into light, and he shouted: "The three souls and seven souls return to their positions quickly!"

At this time, Zhao Gou's situation was very bad. The kung fu used by the ancestor Chen Tuan was an upper-level Taoist technique, which can also be called "spirit drawing technique", which is a branch of spirit summoning technique.Spiritualism is to recall the dead heroic spirits, but soul-induction is to lead the lost souls to gather and return to the body. It is conceivable that Zhao Gou's soul has left his body.

Ancestor Chen Tuan was busy attracting Zhao Gou's soul, but Zhao Gou's soul came out of his body. When he was in a daze, he came to a dark and gloomy place. The dark clouds covered the sky like a monster, and even the air was cloudy, which made people feel timid.

They come, the security!

Zhao Gou looked at the unfamiliar scenery and the dark place in front of him, and murmured, "Where is this place?"

No one answered his question, so he could only move forward.Gradually, I heard the sound of a river in front of me. When I got closer, I found that the whole river was black, like a polluted water source in later generations, but there was no stench at all. Hastily shouted: "Boatman! Boatman, I want to cross the river!"

Hearing someone yelling, the man rolled the boat to the bank, came to Zhao Gou's side, and asked, "The guest officer wants to cross the river?"

Zhao Gou jumped directly onto the boat, nodded and said, "I want to cross the river!"

Seeing Zhao Gou jumping on the boat, the man didn't say anything, but silently shook the oars.Sitting on the bow of the boat, Zhao Gou leaned over to look at the black river, and there was a scene that surprised him. He saw everything from the river since he was born in the Song Dynasty. Where is it? Why is it so weird?"

The man said with a smile: "The hospitality officer will know when he reaches the other side!"

Zhao Gou saw that he didn't want to talk more, so he didn't force him any more. He sat on the bow of the boat, bent down again, and saw only his own appearance, and nothing else.Zhao Gou didn't know what this place was, so he could only live with the situation. He didn't remember that there was such a place on the Qiantang River.

After a while, the boat finally arrived on the other side. When Zhao Gou got off the boat and wanted to pay, he turned around and saw the boat. The black water was still the same. He thought he was dazzled.However, seeing that he had indeed come to the other side, but there was no sign of the boatman, he didn't think much about it.

Zhao Gou walked straight forward, and about half an hour later, he saw a flower garden in full bloom. Looking at the beautiful scenery, he felt much happier, and saw a small bridge beside the flower garden.He was a little curious, and he took a closer look and found the flowers in the flowerbed. He saw that the stems and covers of the flowers were dark brown, and there were 6 red petals arranged in an umbrella shape. The petals were oblanceolate and spread backwards. Curly, with corrugated margins, very short perianth tubes.

Seeing this flower, Zhao Gou murmured: "Manzhushahua? Bianhuahua! Legend has it that this flower grows in the heavens, also known as the flower of connection. , so Lycoris is also known as the ruthless flower."

"Generally speaking, this flower should grow next to the tomb in modern times. How could it grow here? Could it be that this is not another place, but the underworld? According to legend, the flower of heaven fell into the underworld for some reason and grew beside the Naihe Bridge , it is called the flower of seduction, just because to cross the sea of ​​suffering is to forget the past."

"If this is really the underworld? Why did I come here? What's going on here?"

When Zhao Gou saw the Bianhua, he remembered the legend about it and was shocked.He was just using his true energy recklessly, and the injuries on his body couldn't have killed him, how could his soul return to the underworld, how could he believe it.Moreover, Zhao Gou's mission has not been completed, how can he die willingly, but he doesn't know how to get out.

Just when he was anxious, a kind voice came from afar: "I never thought that you would know Bianhuahua! It seems that you should have guessed where this place is!"

Zhao Gou smiled wryly: "It's really good luck. I have met such a chance. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!"

"Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on how you think about it!" The man smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the underworld is terrible, but they don't know that there is also a place in the underworld that makes people feel refreshed and linger. However, such a beautiful scenery is nothing more than a flash of youth! Why, you still can't let go of the fame and fortune in your heart?"

Zhao Gou raised his head and saw that the person who came was the ferryman. Knowing that this place was a hell, he was not too surprised, and replied directly: "What does fame and fortune have to do with me? I just want to be able to go against the sky." Just change your fate, change the established destiny, and let the people escape from the sea of ​​suffering. If you let me die now, I will be unwilling!"

The man said: "Death sooner or later, after all, can't resist the cycle of life and death. Everyone in the world is afraid of death, but you are thinking about changing your fate against the sky. As for where you came from and where you are going, I already know. However, It’s a destiny that cannot be violated, and you are destined to have this catastrophe. If no one resolves it, you will die, and those have nothing to do with you.”

"Why?" Zhao Gou asked.

The man said again: "It's just a cycle of karma! I think you should remember what happened back then. They will not escape punishment, and so should you. However, this punishment may be too late for you. You didn't come to the underworld until now." Reporting, I also know the thought in your heart, and I still advise you to do it well."

Zhao Gou wanted to ask again, but the man said: "It is fate that you and I met today, and we will meet again in the future. As for who I am, you will know when we meet next time. Now, you can go back Now, it should be said that your master came to rescue, otherwise you would really stay here, and I will explain everything to you when I see you next time, and now you can go back."

The man waved his hand casually, and Zhao Gou fainted. As if in a dream, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the face of Patriarch Chen Tuan came into view.Everything that happened before seemed to have never happened, and Zhao Gou was soaked in cold sweat. When he saw the smiling ancestor Chen Tuan, he realized that he had awakened in a trance, and he was surprised: "Master, why are you here?" ?”
