Chapter 397: Strange Clouds
Under the cold blood moon, the earth is silent.
An empty city.
In the sky, there are corpses of Buddhas.
Bai Jinye, dressed in black, stood in front of the pawnshop. Every time he waved, a corpse of Buddha fell to the ground, and the paper in Bai Jinye's hand was placed on the corpse of Buddha.
The first Buddha corpse had a long spear stuck in its forehead, but at this moment, the Buddha corpse stood up strangely, bowed to Bai Jinye, and then strode into the pawnshop.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Jinye waved his hand again, and another Buddha corpse fell from the sky. Bai Jinye's operation was the same as before, and the Buddha corpse also stood up and did exactly the same actions as the previous one.
One, two...
A total of eight Buddha corpses walked into the pawnshop, including the one Lin Ye met in Tianwai Tian.
Lin Ye stared at these Buddha corpses, especially when they stood up and saluted Bai Jinye. He wanted to see whether these Buddha corpses were really resurrected or were being manipulated in some other strange way?
Manipulate corpses.
This is not a difficult task. It can be done with the less popular Taoist corpse-driving technique, and many corpse-driving sects have been spawned from it.
But this is Buddha.
Can the Taoist corpse-driving technique control Buddha?
But if it was said that the Buddha could be brought back to life, that would be even more unacceptable to Lin Ye.
When a person dies, he is dead.
Maybe some ordinary people can be brought back to life through special means after death, but that’s because it doesn’t count as true death.
In the eyes of practitioners, even if the physical body is destroyed, there are some secret techniques that can allow one to survive.
As long as the soul does not dissipate, it will be fine.
But that is Buddha.
The further you practice, the more your body and soul become one, just like the primordial spirit in Taoism and the same principle in Buddhism.
This is also why the Black Book would trade with Lin Ye and ask for a drop of god's blood.
A drop of the blood of gods is worth all the treasures of heaven and earth. It is not an exaggeration to say that even a hair from the body can easily kill a powerful person in the Yuanshen realm.
Of course, the premise is that this powerful Yuanshen realm expert does not dodge.
The picture is flowing!
All the Buddha corpses in the sky were taken into the pawnshop, but Bai Jinye in black did not go back. Instead, he stood at the door of the pawnshop, wondering what he was thinking.
The picture is also frozen.
Just when Lin Ye thought the scene in front of him had ended, Bai Jinye on the screen suddenly changed.
Another piece of paper appeared in Bai Jinye's hand, but this piece of paper was different from the previous ones. It was just a black piece of paper.
There was a rare look of pain on Bai Jinye's face, which made Lin Ye certain that the origin of this black paper must be very surprising and extremely precious.
The black paper burned in Bai Jinye's hands and turned into a ball of light. What was strange was that after the light bloomed, a black mist appeared around the blood moon.
The black fog covered the cold moon.
Without the cold moon, the earth was still bright, but without the original scarlet color. Looking at the empty city that had turned cold and white, Lin Ye felt like he was looking at the surveillance in a haunted house through a night vision camera.
However, after a while, there was no change in the picture. Lin Ye frowned slightly, and Bai Jinye in the picture had the same expression, also frowning.
After a long time, another piece of black paper appeared in Bai Jinye's hand.
This time, Bai Jinye took longer to take out the black paper than last time. It was obvious that it was more difficult for Bai Jinye to make up his mind this time than last time.
This made Lin Ye confirm his judgment again. The preciousness of this black paper was probably beyond imagination.
The second piece of black paper burned for nearly three minutes, and this time a change finally appeared in the picture.
A Buddha's body suddenly appeared in the sky. When Lin Ye saw this Buddha's body, he was stunned for a moment, because this Buddha's body was the one who had just asked him "What is Buddha"?
This one died too?
There was also a long spear stuck in the chest of the Buddha's body, but the difference was that this Buddha's body fell on the ground in front of the pawnshop, and the long spear in the chest was slowly swallowed by the black mist.
In the end, the halberd was swallowed by the black mist, and the chest was also filled with black mist.
The Buddha stood up and bowed to Bai Jinye in the same way, but did not go into the pawnshop. His deep gaze looked at the blood moon shrouded in black mist in the sky.
Lin Ye couldn't understand that look, it was very complicated.
And in the next moment, the Buddha's body suddenly disappeared from the spot. Just when Lin Ye was confused, he found that the black fog that covered the blood moon dissipated, and at the same time, the Buddha's body appeared in the sky again.
The halberd was once again inserted into the chest.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ye's mouth twitched, his brain worked rapidly, and he already had a rough judgment in his mind.
Above the sky, or above the blood moon, there is a powerful existence hidden.
The reason why Lin Ye used the word "existence" to describe it was because he was not sure whether the other party was a powerful being that surpassed the gods, or a group, or neither, but something that could not be described in words.
On the ground, Bai Jinye's expression was full of helplessness and dissatisfaction, but Lin Ye still saw him take out the black paper again.
Once again, two cards were used up.
The long spear on the Buddha's body was swallowed up again.
Seeing the Buddha's gaze looking up at the sky again, Bai Jinye became anxious this time and took out a piece of golden paper.
Lin Ye noticed a detail. When Bai Jinye held the golden paper, his hands were shaking again.
The golden paper was thrown out, but it did not burn. Instead, it stuck to the chest of the Buddha. Then, the Buddha's body suddenly disappeared.
Seeing the Buddha's body disappear, Bai Jinye breathed a sigh of relief. Then he looked up at the blood moon in the sky and seemed to be muttering something.
It’s a pity that there was no sound in all the images, and Bai Jinye’s body was shrunk, so Lin Ye couldn’t judge from his mouth shape.
Bai Jinye walked back to the pawnshop, and the pawnshop flag outside the pawnshop with the word "Third" embroidered on it began to shine.
At the same time, the blood moon seemed to be stimulated by the light, and a long spear fell down, targeting the third pawnshop.
However, the halberd was still in the air when the pawnshop and its flag disappeared from the picture. Almost at the same time as the pawnshop disappeared, the halberd also disappeared.
The entire scene fell into dead silence again.
There was no change for a long time.
But Lin Ye's mind still did not relax at all, and he still stared at every place in the picture. As long as the picture did not disappear, he would not look away.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but Lin Ye’s eyes narrowed, because a white dot suddenly appeared in the picture he was seeing.
It's like the snow that appears on old-fashioned televisions.
First a little, then a piece...
In the end, the whole picture turned white.
The picture also ended here.
Lin Ye closed his eyes, recalling everything he had just seen. The next moment he opened his eyes with an expression of emotion.
There was a surprising discovery.
The white dot that appeared at the end was not a white dot, but white mist. It was the mist that just covered the Buddha's body, and it was also the mist that appeared under the cliff of the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall.
