Chapter 371 Ananda Closed His Eyes

Ananda set off.

Lingshan prepared a large ship for him. The ship was shining with gold and filled with all kinds of treasures. It was made entirely of jade. It was a pleasure to look at. It could be said to be a magical and magnificent ship filled with all kinds of treasures.

It is said that this ship is a replica of the vehicle that a master of Lingshan originally rode, and only less than one percent of its exquisiteness has been restored.

But even so, the brilliance of this treasure ship is by no means comparable to that of ordinary monks.

Eliminate disasters and gain blessings, and be immune to all kinds of attacks. It can be said that as long as Ananda stands on this treasure ship, most methods will not affect him.

This is also one of the many treasures of Lingshan, and now they are all in the hands of the old monk Sanjue.

Ananda stood at the bow of the boat. The big boat was unmanned and moved automatically above the dark sea of ​​suffering, heading towards the distant road.

Looking at the huge waves that were originally turbulent and automatically calmed down beside the treasure ship, Ananda showed a helpless smile on his face.

How to cross the sea of ​​suffering?
Gold, silver and treasures can help you overcome the sea of ​​suffering.

This is an eternal truth; even cultivators cannot escape from clichés.

Wealth, friends, land and law, the importance of these is arranged in this order.

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Ananda returned to the cabin, found a cushion to sit on, and began to meditate.

There is no year in the sea of ​​suffering, and no time on the way forward. Ananda felt that as soon as he closed his eyes, when he opened them again, the boat had already arrived.

After getting off the boat, Ananda did not put away the treasure ship, but headed straight in a certain direction.

Advancing through the wilderness, Ananda soon saw a large city rising from the ground not far away. There was no name written on the city’s doorplate, and the gray city walls were lifeless.

When he arrived at the city gate, the guards dared not stop him when they saw him dressed like that, and simply retreated to the sides respectfully.

After Ananda entered the city, a foul smell rushed into his nose. He frowned slightly and looked at both sides of the street.

Filth and mud mixed with water formed deep, foul-smelling piles, with bursts of pungent odors emanating from them.

The city’s sanitation management is so poor that it deserves to be buried under the sea of ​​suffering.

That’s why Ananda didn’t like coming to this place very much.

He lowered the Buddhist beads in his hand twice, and the surrounding aura instantly disappeared. Ananda then started walking towards the temple in the center of the city.

When a thick dark cloud floating in the sky changed its shape, Ananda also came to the temple.

As soon as he entered the temple gate, an old monk saw Ananda and ran to his side with a smirk on his face:

“Sir, why are you here suddenly?”

“I came here to take a look at the Buddha’s instructions.”

Ananda could clearly see something strange about the old monk.

The old monk was very nervous, his forehead was covered with sweat and the smile on his face was very stiff.

Obviously something had happened.

Ananda walked straight into the palace without saying a word. The old monk tried to stop Ananda in a hurry, but the other party did not give him a chance to speak.

After entering the hall, Ananda saw several beddings on the ground at a glance.

His brows immediately frowned.

Because there were several straw mats placed in the temple, and on top of the mats were several corpses lying, all of which were covered with white cloth, and their faces could not be seen at all.

However, Ananda could clearly see through the white cloth and see the corpses underneath whose bones and tendons were broken due to external force.

“What’s going on?”

“This… they fell down by themselves… they just rolled down the stairs…”

The old monk was very embarrassed when he said this.

“You lost your footing? Did you fall?”

Ananda turned his head and glanced at the old monk.

That look clearly said, “Are you kidding me?”

The old monk didn’t know what to say.

Indeed, this sounds a bit nonsense.

A group of practitioners fell down the stairs and ended up killing themselves. This is no different from choking to death while drinking water.

But the old monk did not lie. If someone died of choking, he died of choking. What else could he do?
“Where did they fall to their deaths?”

“You come with me.”

The old monk took Ananda and quickly arrived at the steps.

Ananda squatted here, frowning and looking at the steps in front of him.

Nothing unusual.

Could it be that he really slipped and fell?
This is also a death…

So shameful.

Ananda turned around twice again, unwilling to believe it, and finally closed his eyes helplessly.

Really found nothing.

He had no choice but to return to the palace and said to the old monk:

“Go find a cushion. I want to meditate next to the Mirror of the Future.”

The old monk bowed repeatedly and then trotted away.

After a while, he took a futon.

Ananda placed the cushion next to the Mirror of the Future, sat on it, took out a wooden fish from his sleeve, placed it on the ground, and tapped it gently.

The sound of the wooden fish spread throughout the palace, and the area seemed to be under a unique spell.

Although Ananda’s eyes were closed, his mind was open.

In this temple, no one can escape his sight.

……

“Master, why can Zi Yi follow you?”

Caiyi blinked and asked Zuo Chen.

“Zi Yi has practiced for more than 2,000 years. Her current spiritual energy foundation is not even as good as mine. Naturally, she can follow.”

Zuo Chen patted Caiyi’s shoulder gently:

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.”

“Oh……”

Caiyi nodded, but she was obviously still a little disappointed.

After Zuo Chen comforted Caiyi, he also sighed slightly in his heart.

There is actually another reason for wearing purple clothes.

If I leave Zi Yi, the other person’s mental state will become very unstable.

just now……

It’s better to let Zi Yi stay with me.

Moreover, Zi Yi’s ability was indeed sufficient, so she would not be in any danger even if she followed him. After saying goodbye to everyone, Zuo Chen used his past body again.

As the river of time moved, he appeared in Yang Zile’s basement in the next moment.

Looking forward, I saw Yang Zile carefully wrapping the remaining chicken wings in oil paper, as if he was wrapping a family heirloom.

He was also startled when he found someone appearing behind him.

Yang Zile immediately showed an embarrassed expression:

“Ah, you’re back.”

Zuo Chen took a look at the chicken wings:

“You don’t have to put it away. This kind of roasted food will expire soon, and eating it will make your stomach uncomfortable. If you need it, I can get you some more.”

Yang Zile muttered and laughed:

“I was thinking of hanging it in a well-ventilated place to dry…”

Zuo Chen just waved his hand, and a large amount of food filled the table.

Yang Zile immediately stopped what he was doing and stared at the food, drooling.

Zuo Chen felt the four talismans for a while and found that Yang Zile had already pasted them, so he praised him:

“Well done.”

“I will do my best to fulfill your request, sir.”

“How’s the city going now? Is anything happening?”

Yang Zile came back to his senses and shook his head:
“I didn’t hear what happened.”

“You stay here for now, I’ll find you if I need you later.”

After giving Yang Zile a few words of advice, Zuo Chen took Zi Yi and left the basement directly.

The two of them soon arrived at the palace in the city and walked up the stairs. As soon as they reached the palace gate, Zuo Chen stopped.

“Someone has set up a detection technique.”

There was a gleam in Zuo Chen’s eyes, and his gaze went straight beyond the entire hall.

Then I saw the monk sitting next to the Mirror of the Future.

A faint spiritual glow was emanating from the monk’s body, forming a circle of faint glow.

If I use the hidden house technique directly to go in, the monk will most likely not find me. During this kind of survey, it is a bit too bold to touch the Mirror of the Future with my hand directly.

We have to think of a way to get rid of this monk.

Zi Yi saw Zuo Chen’s dilemma. She pondered for a while, bit her lips lightly, and said:

“Master, I’ll go and lead him away.”

“Ok?”

“Don’t worry.” Zi Yi gestured with his arm, “This monk will definitely not be able to find me.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Let’s find a place near the town and make some noise. We may be able to lure the monk out.”

Zuo Chen pondered for a few seconds and nodded.

There really is no better way.

If Zi Yi can lead people away, he can take this opportunity to touch the Mirror of the Future.

Having said that, Zi Yi’s tone suddenly paused:
“The Taoist priest should be back soon, right?”

Zuo Chen burst out laughing:

“It only takes me three breaths and ten moments to touch the Future Mirror and return to the original state. I will definitely be back soon.”

“……real?”

“real.”

“Not lying?”

“I don’t lie.”

“You won’t come back unless you find a future you like.”

“……Won’t.”

“Alas, I’m still not very reassured.”

Zi Yi said that she wanted to help Zuo Chen attract attention, but her words were full of nervousness.

It seemed as if he was afraid that Zuo Chen would disappear into thin air as soon as he left his sight.

The two were just about to coordinate their actions when they suddenly saw an old monk walking in from outside.

The old monk hurriedly walked to the young monk and bowed, saying:

“Sir, the monks on the mountain heard that you were here and wanted to invite you to be their guest.”

The young monk opened his eyes and said in an extremely impatient tone:
“I have a great task entrusted to me by the Buddha.”

“But the monk said that if you don’t go, he will make trouble.”

The young monk pressed his forehead.

He was silent for a long time, and finally sighed.

“I’ll go see him now.”

He finished his practice, stood up from the cushion, and walked out of the hall with a gloomy face.

When passing by Zuo Chen, he didn’t realize that the Taoist he was following was right beside him, and he just left with a gloomy face.

Zuo Chen just watched him walk away.

A monk on the mountain looking for someone?
The timing is a bit too coincidental.

Zuo Chen could sense a slight sense of weirdness, but he didn’t intend to miss this opportunity.

So after making sure that the other party had gone far away and would definitely not come back in a short time, Zuo Chen took Zi Yi and went directly to the side of the crack.

They both stretched out their hands at the same time and pressed on the crack in front of them.

The next moment, the familiar feeling of dizziness came again, and Zuo Chen closed his eyes accordingly.

The sound of the long river of time rushing by came from behind his ears, pushing him forward.

After a while, the sound of the waves dissipated and everything around returned to silence.

Zuo Chen opened his eyes and found himself in an endless wilderness.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and everything nearby was in a depressing and wild state.

This place is like a forbidden zone for life, a place where no one dies.

Zuo Chen looked around and suddenly frowned.

There was a faint resistance pressing on Zuo Chen.

This long river of time is eliminating itself!
