826, Human God (2/2)
The dragon shape circling the spine disappeared in an instant.
Li Zhu, Wang Gousheng, and Sun Jiu could not see the situation under Su Wu's clothes, but when they saw the new golden-pink membranes on Su Wu's exposed skin, they all had thoughts in their minds.
"How is it?
How is the recovery from the injury?" Wang Gousheng was the first to speak and asked Su Wu.
Su Wu stood up from the fire, and an inexplicable aura emanated from his body, like a statue in a temple. The majestic aura of merit lingered around him, and the powerful power continued to diffuse from the spine and soaked the flesh and blood.
While moving his body, Su Wu replied to Wang Gousheng: "Much better.
It's about the same as Wang Bo guessed, and it has recovered about 80%.
There are still some minor injuries, which can be slowly healed later."
"Very good." When Wang Gousheng was shocked and had not responded, Li Zhu stood up and nodded to Su Wu.
He looked at Su Wu's golden-pink body and the scars that looked like porcelain gold wire and iron wire. A smile appeared on his tense face: "You look like a human god sitting in a temple now."
Human god?
Hearing what Li Zhu said, Su Wu's thoughts turned slightly.
He suddenly remembered the description of "human gods" in the "Incantation Seal of the Ancient Human King".
——Human gods stand in temples in various places, enjoy sacrifices, and provide shelter for the people in various places.
Such "human gods" can suppress some fierce ghosts with their physical strength alone.
Among them, those with higher levels are called "human kings", such as "Tang", "Pan Geng", "Wu Ding" and other human kings, who have the ability to suppress "heavenly ghosts"!
Is the "human god" that Li Zhu is talking about now the "great merchant god" that he thinks of?
Although he had to burn all the paper clothes and shoes given by Zhang Niang to resist the palm print of the 'Jing Lian Hua Sheng Dashi', those consumed paper clothes and shoes helped him resist the impact of the palm print while also continuously improving his physical quality.
Therefore, when all the paper clothes were burned, he should have touched the threshold of 'human god'.
But he was seriously injured before and his life was in danger. Even when he was close to the threshold, others did not notice it.
It was not until he ate a golden carp purchased from the fisherman that his injuries not only recovered by 80%, but also crossed the threshold. Is he truly standing at the level of 'human god'?
Su Wu knew that although the golden carp was quite magical, he could not push himself to the level of 'human god physique' with just a golden carp.
The paper clothes and paper shoes that were burned before were the real foundation for him.
He was just one step away from the ‘human god level’!
“Fish turns into dragon!” Wang Gousheng brushed off the dust on his buttocks and stood up. He looked at Su Wu and said, “You have now made the leap from a fish to a dragon!
Fish and dragons are worlds apart.
Humans and human gods are just like fish and dragons!”
Su Wu was thoughtful after hearing this.
Afterwards, everyone gathered around the pot and drank up the fish soup in the pot.
“Let’s go, it’s time for us to set off.
According to my arrangement just now, Sun Jiu, you take the others and go first.” Li Zhu looked at Sun Jiu.
Sun Jiu nodded, said hello to Su Wu, and led the other six people out of the cave.
“Brother Sun!” Su Wu called Sun Jiu. When Sun Jiu turned back in confusion, he solemnly said to him, “Today’s great favor will be rewarded in the future!”
Sun Jiu smiled honestly, his eyes lingering on Li Zhu. He turned to Su Wu and said, "We will definitely not be polite to you."
Su Wu nodded.
Sun Jiu, Wang Gousheng and a group of seven people walked out of the cave one after another.
Outside the cave, the black sea was churning.
Seven paper people floated away with the waves.
The five transformations of Jinglian did not find any abnormality here and did not make any moves.
Li Zhi walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the churning black sea water outside the cave, turned his head and said to Su Wu, "We will stay here for a while, and wait for Sun Jiu to build the gate and wall and make a noise, then we will set off immediately."
After a pause, Li Zhi said, "After leaving the cave, you will know what the biggest difference between 'human gods' and 'humans' is."
"Brother Li seems to know a lot about 'human gods'?
When did human gods appear in the world? Do you know?" Su Wu asked Li Zhi.
At this time, Li Zhi looked outside the cave and did not speak.
Su Wu also fell silent.
After a while, Li Zhu's voice rang out again in the silent cave: "Can't say."
"...Okay."
...
The black sea water flooded the area of hundreds of miles. The sacred mountain of Kangqinsang collapsed under the impact of the black sea and turned into small hills in the sea.
The sacred mountain of the Shenling Ben sect, the villages and towns within hundreds of miles around, were all looted and slaughtered, or scattered and fled to other places in the previous struggle between the Shenling Ben sect and the Mi Fu Buddhist sect.
Therefore, the Jinglian raised such a huge momentum, but only trapped Su Wu.
The rest of the innocent creatures were not affected by this disaster.
South of the vast Black Sea, a huge lake with dim lake water merged with the Black Sea, but the two did not interfere with each other. The black sea water could not infect the dim lake water at all, and the dim lake water could not expand outward even a little bit when surrounded by the Black Sea.
To the north of the Dusk Lake, there is another pitch-black pond standing silently in the black sea.
The pitch-black pond borders the Dusk Lake. Looking down from the sky, the two lakes are in the shape of an eight-shaped gourd.
However, the three sides of the dark pool were surrounded by countless fluorescent green ghost eyes. They surrounded the three sides of the pool, leaving only a gap to the outside, and the black sea water poured into the dark pool from the gap.
In the huge pool, Jinglian sat cross-legged in the void, and the Buddha's face was hanging high in the sky above his head.
Under his seat, the five transformations imprisoned the headless body of "Du Baren". In the colorful light wheel outside Jinglian's body, the eight consciousnesses of the mind king flowed down like milk cream, watering the headless "Underground Ten Thousand Dragon King".
He carefully isolated Lu's power from the outside, and only injected the most pure eight consciousnesses of the mind king into the headless body of the "Underground Ten Thousand Dragon King".
The flat abdomen of the "Underground Ten Thousand Dragon King" gradually showed signs of bulging.
The dark pool that surrounded Jinglian, Dubaren's headless body, and the five great transformations was the virtual form of the 'Glorious Buddha Mother' that was infected by Lu. It had helped Jinglian give birth to the great transformations, but as the 'Glorious Buddha Mother' grew all over her body with fluorescent green ghost eyes, it was abandoned by Jinglian first, and Jinglian got a new 'Glorious Buddha Mother' - Dubaren's headless body.
At this time, the sea was calm.
In the area closer to the dark pool, several small hills formed by the collapse of the 'Kangqinsang Sacred Mountain' protruded out of the sea.
On the small hill, Sun Jiu and other Taoyuan villagers stood quietly.
The Buddha face on the top of the sky opened his eyes and scanned the surroundings. Even though the villagers of Taoyuan Village were right under its nose, it did not detect anything.
The villagers of Taoyuan Village did not have the vitality that all living beings should have, nor the death that all dead people would have. They were like a few stones on the mountain, inconspicuous under the observation of the Buddha face.
"I'll build a gate here to enter the veins of the mountains and rivers." Sun Jiu pointed to a huge rock in front of him and said to the other six people, "You will see that the water level of the Black Sea near the dark pool is gradually rising - that's because I gradually built the gate wall below and raised the threshold.
The threshold is getting higher, and the few evil spirits in the pool will definitely react.
When the time comes, you have to take action. No matter what, you must block their first wave of impact and buy me some time to completely build the gate wall."
"Okay." Zhang Da nodded.
Wang Gousheng said: "I originally wanted to stay here for a while and play for a while, but now it seems that it's not possible."
"It's more important to do business." Sun Jiu smiled naively. He took out a tile knife from his bag and began to chop the huge stone in front of him that was more than one person tall. The tile knife cut along the inexplicable texture on the stone. With bursts of "rustling" and "rustling" sounds, some stone chips and stone flakes fell off one after another along the direction of the tile knife.
The side of the boulder facing Sun Jiu and others became flat and smooth after being cut with a tile knife.
Then Sun Jiu took out a hammer and chisel and began to carve on the flat and smooth stone surface.
He chiseled along the invisible textures on the stone, and the "door" he carved out was layered and crooked, like the annual rings of a tree, extending layer by layer to the bottom and to an unknown place.
Wang Gousheng put his hands behind his back, looked at Sun Jiu's craftsmanship, and suddenly said to Sun Jiu who was concentrating on his work: "Sun Jiu has really put a lot of thought into this work.
It seems that he has high hopes for the godparent of your uncle Zhang's family?"
Sun Jiu kept moving his hands, just nodded, and said to Wang Gousheng: "Li Zhidu has decided to escort him personally and help him through this great disaster - after the disaster, he will definitely leave some clues for him."
Wang Gousheng said "hmm", and turned to the other five Taoyuan villagers behind him and said: "Then let's all put in some effort!"
"No problem!"
"Sure!"
The villagers responded with a smile.
The crooked portal leading to the unknown place was chiseled out by Sun Jiu.
He first stepped into the portal carved on the surface of the boulder - those crooked and stacked portals squeezed his figure and slowly swallowed his figure!
Wang Gousheng, Zhang Da and others followed Sun Jiu and walked into the portal.
The figures of the seven people disappeared from the hill.
On the huge rock on the top of the hill, there are twisted and overlapping veins, like the annual rings of an ancient tree.
No one could have imagined that these layers of strange veins were actually a "door" leading to other regions!
The hill that protruded out of the Black Sea, in the next few breaths, became shorter and shorter at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a snowman poured by boiling water, and disappeared under the sea surface!
The hills adjacent to this hill also gradually became shorter and shrank back below the sea surface!
At the same time,
the only gap in the dark pool, the level of the black water that was constantly pouring into the pool suddenly rose -
Under the water, a threshold kept rising, trying to block the only gap!
Jinglian, who was sitting cross-legged in the air, felt something unusual and opened his eyes instantly!
