When his finger pressed forward, drawing a bright red and dazzling blood mark in the air, deep in Lu Chen's eyes ignited a deep dark flame. In that instant, his entire aura, temperament and even breathing suddenly changed.
An indescribable dark aura spread out from his body. At the same time, as if attracted by an incomparably strange power, the blood that flowed down from his wrist, the beads of blood and droplets of blood, suddenly drew out a thin line of blood that was as thin as a slippery thread. It gently floated up and silently swept past an inch or so from the ground, following Lu Chen's finger that seemed to be as heavy as a thousand catties as it floated forward.
His finger paused, then suddenly pressed down. At the same time, the black flame in Lu Chen's eyes suddenly rose, like a sudden wild flame.
A muffled sound came from the ground, like the morning bell and evening drum in an ancient mountain temple, faintly reverberating.
A spot of blood appeared on the ground, then strands of blood, strangely twisting on the ground, began to spread out in many directions, forming one after another indescribable strange pattern.
Lu Chen's hand slowly moved in the air, from the original one finger had become five, the number of blood lines drawn from the blood increased, the strange pattern drawn on the ground also gradually began to take shape.
It was a large triangular pattern, within it there were countless hard to grasp twisting patterns, but the pattern formed by the blood, with the puddle in the tree hole as the center, completely wrapped around it.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen's hand slowly stopped, his face looked very pale, as if he had used up most of his strength. In front of him, there was a strange blood pattern that was almost complete. It looked like a strange formation, but when one looked at it from a distance, they would suddenly discover that the strange triangular pattern vaguely resembled … a tree.
The water in the puddle was still calm without any ripples, as if it was not affected by the sudden appearance of the blood-colored pattern. However, for some reason, the cluster of strange black flames hidden in the depths of the water suddenly began to sway incessantly.
A faintly discernible and hidden power, seemed to be hidden in the still quiet blood pattern, like a person's heartbeat in the middle of the night, indistinctly, inexplicably throbbing.
The entire tree hole, was in silence, the green gas, the tree walls, the two mysterious and unopenable doors, all silently watched everything that happened here.
Lu Chen looked at the pattern that appeared in front of him, his expression seemed somewhat tired, somewhat complicated, and a trace of inexplicable perplexity, but very quickly, his eyes lit up again.
He bent over and picked up Atsu, slowly walked into the blood pattern, and knelt down beside the puddle.
There were slight ripples on the water surface, reflecting his face, he silently looked at the figure in the water, and then gently put Atsu into the water.
A few bubbles emerged from the water, the unconscious black dog swayed a few times in the water, and slowly sank down.
Beside the water, Lu Chen took a deep breath, and suddenly slapped his palm backwards, not knowing which part of the strange blood pattern was hit, but there was a sudden sound, like thunder above the clouds, and in an instant, the ancient tree hole shone brightly.
On the ground that was smeared with blood, a strange bloody light suddenly rose up and turned into a bloody and strange bloody pillar of light that was reflected in the air.
The light shadow twisted violently, accompanied by a howl, as if it came from the legendary Yellow Springs in the depths of hell. The blood shadow trembled and twisted, gradually turning into the shadow of a huge tree.
It was a vague, faintly discernible tree, a towering tree, its head reaching the sky, its roots reaching the ground, a tree that existed everywhere across the three realms, its whole body was blood red, as if every branch and every leaf was dripping with fresh blood.
In that dreamy and terrifying illusion, countless drops of blood dripped from the terrible tree, as if hell was nothing more than this.
Lu Chen took a deep look at the illusion, the corner of his eyes seemed to twitch slightly, but very quickly, he regained his senses, his arm drew a strange pattern in the void, and then slowly pressed down.
Along with his action, a strange whistling sound rang out again, a strange light slowly flowed from the illusion, as if it had seeped into reality from the illusion, bit by bit, it approached the puddle.
The clear water suddenly jumped violently, as if it had felt an incomparably powerful force, and received an unimaginable stimulation, the water waves trembled wildly, breaking all the calm, and at the same time, there was a rumbling sound, coming from the depths of the puddle.
The light in the blood shadow was still approaching, and it was about to touch the water.
Lu Chen's face was as pale as paper at this time, but the black fire in his eyes burned more vigorously, the twisted flames even seemed to have a hint of wildness.
Suddenly, the cluster of black fire in the depths of the water, as if it had been stimulated by something, suddenly flourished, and directly expanded dozens of times from the bottom of the water, like a demon directly opened its terrible mouth, and pounced upwards.
Almost at the same time, the flowing light in the blood shadow touched the surface of the water.
There was a sudden clap of thunder!
"Boom!"
All the water ripples suddenly shook violently, and in the midst of the rumbling sounds, they burst apart together, bringing along Ah-Tu who was in the water, and directly rose up into the air. Under the back of that strange blood shadow, everything seemed to be stained with a smear of blood.
The light shone into Atsu's body.
The black fire caught up in the air, and the shadow instantly passed through Atsu's body, and then swayed in the shadow, as if it was crazily swaying towards the blood red tree, trying to penetrate it.
But the next moment, all the shadows disappeared together.
"Hua la la la la …"
In the splashing water, Atsu fell down together with the clear water, and fell heavily back into the water. After a moment, an indescribable pain came from its mouth.
It tossed and turned in the depths of the water, struggling to open its only eye slightly, and looked up.
The water waves were still shaking violently, and in the chaotic light and shadow, there was a familiar face on the other side of the water waves, quietly looking at it.
Although the face was pale, as if there was not a trace of blood.
Atsu slowly closed its eyes again, like a child sleeping peacefully.
…
In the quiet night, darkness seemed to be everywhere, and the vast Kunlun was immersed in the night. In the depths of the fog, behind the black board, there was a bottomless abyss of darkness that passed through the long crust of the earth, like a huge temple in ancient times. In the vast passage, there was also a sense of loneliness.
No one knew where the faint light came from, and it sprinkled in this lonely temple. In the distance, the huge and ancient door was hidden in the depths of the darkness, like a lonely guard that had stood for countless years.
Time seemed to have frozen here, as if there would not be the slightest change for thousands of years.
But at a certain moment, in the mysterious and ancient tree hole, the blood red rune suddenly lit up, summoning the incomparably strange blood red tree that passed through the three realms. There was a sudden change here.
The quiet darkness suddenly trembled slightly.
The huge stone door stood majestically.
There was no sound, no movement, and it seemed to be dead silent. There seemed to be hesitation?
In the dead silence of the darkness, behind the seemingly endless and deep door, a voice suddenly came from the back.
It was like the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger, as if the wind and clouds were changing, as if something was sighing deeply.
The darkness suddenly expanded, expanding like a heartbeat. The entire stone door trembled, and a few tiny pebbles fell from the high, almost invisible ceiling.
The buzzing sound was like thunder, and it caused the earth to tremble.
But after a moment, it suddenly became quiet again, as if it was still sleeping, and as if it was sleeping peacefully, it was finally sleeping peacefully. The darkness quietly retreated, and returned to its original position. The stone door stood as straight as before, standing there silently.
Time seemed to have frozen here once again, like a dream from which one would never wake up!
Struggling and suffering, never waking up.
…
This night would eventually pass, just like the countless nights in the past, the darkness would definitely pass, and the light would come.
At dawn, when the morning light shone into the room through the window, a haggard Lu Chen sat on the ground. Atsu was wrapped in white cloth like a dumpling, with only one eye, mouth, and nose exposed. Atsu lay quietly in Lu Chen's arms, eyes closed, sleeping quietly.
Its chest rose and fell slightly, and occasionally its face seemed to twitch, as if it was dreaming of some terrible scene. But in the end, this black dog finally calmed down, as if all the horror and fear had gone away from its warm chest.
Lu Chen leaned against the wall and looked at the ray of dawn in silence. He didn't say a word.
This day, he did not go out, nor did he go to the grass garden of Fragrance Garden.
…
The Kunlun Party was a place of rules, and of course, Baicao Tang was no exception. Fragrance Garden treated the handyman disciples better than Rockpan Mountain, but they would not indulge them at will. At least there was a daily roll call. Although sometimes after the roll call, some people would leave early after finishing their work, but the rules were rules. Unless they asked for leave in advance, there would be trouble.
Lu Chen ran into trouble.
Jin Dan Friar Lin Sheng, who was newly appointed to take charge of the grass garden after the earthquake, was a strict person. So when he found out that Lu Chen had "skipped work" for a day without reason, he called Lu Chen over the next day.
"What happened? Why didn't you come yesterday for no reason?" Lin Sheng looked coldly at the young man in front of him, who did not seem to be in a good mood. There was an inadvertent but matter-of-fact contempt in the depth of his eyes. He said, "Letting you cultivate spirit herbs here is the sect's trust and training in you. Don't you know that?"
Lu Chen lowered his head slightly. After a moment, he said, "I was wrong."
"Do you have a reason?"
"A moment of carelessness during cultivation. My breath became chaotic, and my meridians flowed in the opposite direction. I suffered internal injuries."
Lin Sheng glanced at him, and his eyes swept across his face. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Indeed, your internal breath is unstable, and there are signs of damage in your meridians. But you did not inform me in advance and did not come for no reason. That is wrong, and this reason cannot be defended. If your spirit herbs are damaged because of this, you will be expelled from Fragrance Garden immediately. Do you have any objections? "
Lu Chen lowered his head and was silent for a long time. Then he said, "No, thank you for your magnanimity, Uncle."
