Chapter 115

Li Xingyi has no strength.

In a completely new and terrifying environment, he had no ability to react and died on the spot.

When a beam of white light came, he woke up again.

Huangquan appeared before his eyes.

"Xing Yi, there is trouble! [Nothingness] is extremely unstable now. It has merged several planets together. Until the trouble is resolved, you will be infinitely repelled and shuttle between several planes."

Li Xingyi was very distressed.

"What should I do?"

Huang Quan shook his head helplessly: "I don't know for now, just stay calm, I'll find a solution as soon as possible!!"

After saying that, the underworld dissipated, and Li Xingyi came to a brand new world.

"The night of November 10th, the 108th day of the Yinshan investigation. It was also the seventh day since we lost contact with the expedition team."

"Heavy snow, written at the Buddhist temple at the bottom of the mountain. I heard from the abbot that three years ago a young student came here to pray to Buddha, but he didn't often recite sutras or work, and he went up the mountain seven days later."

Looking at the dilapidated little temple, there was a roll of parchment on the altar, which contained what seemed to be a diary left by an expedition member.

Li Xingyi couldn't help but think of a good friend from college.

When I was in college, the little brother who slept on the lower bunk than Li Xing was called Ah Qi by everyone.

He disappeared a month before graduation. He seemed like a madman, muttering "Amitabha" every day.

Ah Qi said: "The Buddha is here, the Buddha is here, the Buddha is here!"

I said that Buddha was just an illusion, and he said he would definitely find it.

Li Xingyi and Ah Qi would often quarrel, but he only remembered that Ah Qi started packing his luggage very early.

Ah Qi said that everyone else was drunk but he was awake, and Sakyamuni was guiding him. He was sure that the invisible power was the Buddha. Before leaving, he reminded us that if he could not come back, we must contact his parents.

Inside the deserted temple, there was a short paper letter.

"You're finally here!" The signature is from a devout believer.

Li Xing felt for a moment that he couldn't exert the strength of his feet, but he kept taking steps uncontrollably.

After catching his breath, Li Xingyi crossed the intersection and saw a sign on the side of the road that read "No Entry".

When he came to his senses, the low bushes on the roadside seemed to be seeing him off.

"How did I get here?"

My heart is beating, but my steps are still moving. The drowsy smell of earth and decay.

A familiar voice whispered in my ear.

“The Buddha is here!”

Fear crept up from his back to his head, and a cold feeling ravaged his entire body. Li Xingyi was unable to suppress the fear that arised instinctively from his body.

Suddenly, the world in front of my eyes seemed to be distorted, and folded patterns appeared in front of my eyes. During the distortion process, the surrounding environment began to change.

The low green bushes turned blood red, and the trees on the side were covered with white silk. The cries of eagles echoed in the air, and they seemed to be holding something in their mouths.

Before my eyes, there appeared a dilapidated temple that looked exactly like the one at the foot of the mountain, except that this temple was painted entirely red.

The red paint didn't seem to have dried yet, and was dripping down.

Dong dong dong dong dong…

"Who? What's that sound?" Li Xing drew out his dagger in an instant and took a defensive stance.

It seems like... the sound of a wooden fish?

Li Xingyi followed the direction of the sound until he reached the door of the withered temple. He finally confirmed that the sound came from inside the temple.

creak~

Pushing open the door of the withered temple, a figure with long hair sitting quietly with his back turned came into view. Not knowing where this feeling came from, Li Xingyi thought that the person in front of him must be the long-lost Ah Qi.

"Ah Qi, what the hell is this place? Your parents have been looking for you for years, come with me and leave!"

After waiting for a long time, the person sitting in meditation ignored Li Xingyi and continued to beat the wooden fish.

Facing fear, Li Xingyi walked towards the man.

The man's hair was almost down to his waist, his hands and feet were so thin that the bones were completely exposed, and wounds could be seen from where his sleeves were exposed.

Although he no longer looked like a human, Li Xingyi still concluded that the person in front of him must be Ah Qi.

"Ah Qi, answer me! I'm Li Xingyi, what are you doing here?"

Ah Qi remained silent. He looked at Li Xingyi carefully and found that the face that no longer resembled a human was actually smiling, as if he was sleeping in a sweet dream.

"Ah Qi, what are you doing? Are you going to die if you keep knocking like this?"

As he said this, Li Xingyi prepared to forcibly wake Ah Qi up and take him away from this extremely strange place.

The moment Li Xingyi's hand touched Ah Qi's body, the withered temple around it began to wriggle, twisting and wriggling like a worm.

I wanted to take my hands away but it was no use, and my mind became increasingly dazed and confused.

Looking from the damaged part of the withered temple, the mountain outside also began to float, the rocks continued to break down and then reassemble again. When breaking down, the rocks were connected by flesh-like tentacles, and when they floated a distance, the tentacles suddenly pulled the rocks back to the mountain.

Looking up, the sky was covered with blood and flesh.

"I can't hear you! What is that!?"

The flesh and blood in the sky whispers...

Flesh worms as long as 10 to 20 centimeters crawled out from the cracks in the ground of the deserted temple. Their bodies were covered with things that looked like scriptures. After approaching Li Xingyi, they wrapped themselves around his body.

"Get out...get out...get out..." Li Xingyi screamed and kicked the worm frantically, his hands still firmly stuck on Ah Qi's shoulders, unable to move away.

The sound of an eagle was heard again. The eagle flew over the top of the withered temple, and Li Xingyi finally saw it clearly.

The eagle was more than ten meters tall, but its wings were badly damaged. The blood and flesh cloud in the sky began to boil and bubble.

The eagle flew straight towards the cloud of flesh and blood, constantly gnawing at the boiling flesh and blood.

At the same time, the boiling flesh and blood also burned the eagle's broken body.

Pieces of debris continued to fall from the sky, landing on a nearby mountain, which gradually grew taller and larger...

Li Xingyi suddenly found that he saw himself. He was watching his body like a so-called soul.

An eye opened between the eyebrows of Li Xingyi's body. It was not the third eye like the mythical Yang Jian, but a disgusting eyeball.

"What is that eyeball, my... my body?"

The flesh worms crawled up the body, crawled up the head... the last one, then another, all drilled into the third eye, and there seemed to be a living creature in the eye. As the flesh worms drilled in, the eye split in the middle and teeth appeared. Even if the flesh worms were bitten in half, they would crawl up his body again and drill into the eyeball again.

My body began to shatter, leaving only body debris on the ground, and my soul involuntarily ascended to heaven...

The scene ended, and Li Xingyi's consciousness was taken back by his body, after which he let out a scream.

Li Xingyi quickly took back his hand that was on Ah Qi's shoulder.

Everything just now was an illusion. Li Xingyi couldn't believe the feeling of surviving a catastrophe. After all, the scene just now was too real...

Looking at Ah Qi in front of him, Li Xingyi frowned. Something was obviously very wrong here.

"Do you believe me now? Because... Buddha is here!"

"When you step through the door, Buddha is all around you and me!"

Ah Qi suddenly opened his eyes, laughed wildly and said some strange words. He was still screaming like he did in college, "Buddha is here."

But now he is obviously even crazier.

"Let's go... let's go! This place is very dangerous. I just saw... what did I see?"

Li Xingyi couldn't escape the fear he felt just now, but he didn't know why he was afraid. No matter how hard he tried to recall the scene just now, he just felt that there was danger all around him.

Chapter 1: Ah Qi on the Shoulder
"What you saw..."

“They are all Buddha!”

Ah Qi's voice suddenly changed and Li Xing couldn't understand what it was.

The sound felt like several people speaking at the same time, overlapping each other.

There is Ah Qi's original voice, the hoarse voice of an old man, and the ethereal voice of the host chanting sutras...

"The Buddha vowed to save all living beings, and I am the one chosen by the Buddha. Now you believe it, don't you?"

Ah Qi's voice returned to normal, but his mouth kept twitching.

Ah Qi raised his hand and pointed at the golden scale behind Li Xingyi. Next to the scale was a golden knife.

These two objects were the only ones in the deserted temple that were not stained with a speck of dust. But if you looked closely, you could see some blood red on them, as if they were red paint dripping from the broken beams on the roof...

"No, Ah Qi, listen to me. We and your parents have been looking for you all these years. Your sister misses you very much. Come back with me."

Ah Qi staggered to his feet and pushed Li Xingyi away from the seat. He shouted fiercely:
"I am a child of Buddha, I am a child of Buddha, I will save you... As long as, as long as I dedicate everything, I can become a Buddha right here! Become a Buddha right here!"

"You are crazy. You need to cure your illness, not believe in this so-called Buddha! Look around you, is this a temple? Is this Buddha?" Li Xing shook Ah Qi with both hands.

But he pushed her down and she fell to the ground.

"Oh, the merciful Sakyamuni, I am your devout believer. The four elements of Buddhism are empty. I have given up all external things and can only offer my purest self!"

Stab it!

Seeing this, Li Xing shouted, "What are you doing?"

The mad Ah Qi seemed to be unable to feel the pain. He used the golden knife to scrape his scarred body.

He scraped the thin layer of flesh from the bones and placed it in the golden scales.

"No, not enough, not enough!"

Ah Qi turned his head and looked at Li Xingyi, who had already retreated to the gate of the deserted temple, with a ferocious expression on his face.

His face was completely distorted. His eyes were vertical, his face was full of arc-shaped wrinkles, his mouth was on the right side of his face, and his nostrils were facing upwards...

There were those overlapping voices again.

"Come, Shakyamuni will guide you! Come, let's become Buddha together!"

Li Xingyi had never seen such a thing before. His limp legs could not resist the adrenaline, so he ran straight out of the deserted temple.

After running dozens of meters, Li Xing looked back and it seemed as if nothing had happened.

"What's going on?" The same figure was still sitting in the deserted temple, beating the wooden fish. There was no blood or flesh scraped off the golden scale, and the strange scene in the illusion did not appear.

"Am I crazy?"

The next second, Ah Qi's neck broke, and his head fell backwards, staring at Li Xingyi.

Huh...dong...dongdong...

Li Xingyi was so frightened that he could hear his own heartbeat, which often stopped suddenly and often exceeded the speed limit.

"It's you who killed me and prevented me from becoming a Buddha!!"

Ah Qi, with his head and body turned upside down, used his limbs to prop himself up, and his buttocks seemed to be tied to the mat with a rope.

"That's a mountain!" After seeing it clearly, Li Xing started running.

That wasn't a rope at all; it was clearly the flesh and blood tentacles connected to the mountain in the illusion!
Scarlet tentacles emerged from the broken Buddha statues in the withered temple. The roof beams that could barely support the temple broke, and the tentacles embraced each other. The tentacles merged with each other, and a trace of human shape could barely be seen.

The same bald head as Buddha!

A disgusting huge corpse emerged from the ground, completely destroying the withered temple, and Ah Qi's butt was tightly connected to the piece of meat, with his feet in front and his head and hands behind the corpse.

The shape of the body part that had completely crawled out could be seen, and it was obviously the upper body of a person.

But his lower body also came out, and this thing had no feet!

Its lower body has countless tentacles, and people with trypophobia would probably pee their pants when they see them.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, become a part of me, my Buddha." The disgusting thing chased Li Xingyi.

Although Li Xingyi had already run a long distance at this moment, this thing had countless legs. He kept moving forward and knocked down the trees blocking his way one by one.

"Damn, I'm not going to get into trouble today!"

"Li Xingyi, I'm Ah Qi, please come back and save me, I'm so pitiful~"

A familiar voice rang in my ears, but there was no fear in it at all.

"I'm testing your code. So many of us have spent time and energy looking for you. I'm going to rescue you after I find you. You're testing your code. You're trying to kill me!"

Li Xing ran down the mountain without stopping. This thing was totally beyond the capability of human beings to contend with. He had to go to the mountain to ask for help from a master.

It is estimated that the abbot of the deserted temple at the foot of the mountain was also harmed by this thing.

But the presence of a 'No Passing' sign on the side of the road proves that someone knew what the risks were.

Li Xingyi boldly guessed that someone must have come up and escaped, so he left a road sign to warn those who came later.

Li Xingyi's eyes went dark, and he once again began to observe himself, and his third eye opened again.

The flesh worm drilled out from the third eye, crawled onto the leg and sucked on it tightly with its suction cup.

The speed of the body increased, until it was on par with the monster behind.

He raised one hand and inserted it straight into the third eye on his forehead, pulling out a flesh worm. Unlike other flesh worms, the scriptures on this flesh worm were blood red, and it emitted black air instead of golden light.

"Oh my god, this is so disgusting. What the hell is happening to my body?"

The upper part of the body turns, while the legs of the lower part continue to run, and the upper part of the body faces backwards, throwing the worm in the hand out.

The flesh worm happened to fall on that thing, and was evaporated the moment it came into contact with it, but that thing was not much better off.

The shoulder of that thing was blown to pieces, and the entire piece of meat turned to ashes.

……

After a long time, the body ran down the mountain.

Consciousness was once again taken back by the body.

"Fortunately it's not true."

Li Xingyi touched his forehead and then his waist, and found everything was normal.

But then he realized something was wrong.

"Have I really embarked on this path... How much of what I experienced today is real?"

All of this was so ridiculous that Li Xingyi fell into self-doubt.

"Hello, we are the investigation team responsible for Yinshan. Please leave here as soon as possible. It is not safe here."

Li Xing looked up and saw that more than a dozen people had come in without him noticing. They were all wearing waterproof jackets with the words "Yinshan Investigation Team" printed on them.

"I just saw some life forms that looked like pieces of meat. I know you don't believe me, but I..."

"We believe it!"

"what?"

The head of the investigation team walked in and took out a jacket with the Yinshan Investigation Team printed on it from his bag.

After putting it on Li Xingyi, he said, "Come with us. Since you have been through it, we will tell you..."
