Chapter 251 What Wuhua Saw
Hearing what the old man said, Xu Bai felt that everything he had just said should not be the point, and the latter was what the old man really wanted to say.
He was patient and did not urge him. After simply saying two words, he continued to wait for the old man's reply.
As expected, the old man's face became complicated, and his turbid eyes were full of traces of time and fatigue.
He looked at Xu Bai back and forth, and finally spoke slowly.
"The Gui City is not as simple as imagined. Their strength is stronger than imagined, because the Gui City is older than any dynasty today. Even in that era, the Gui City was created early."
At this point, the old man's complex expression gradually disappeared, replaced by a sad look, as if he remembered the unbearable years in the past, which brought great pain.
Xu Bai heard the meaning and asked: "It means that there are more masters hidden in the Gui City than we imagined?"
Whether it is the Human Gui City or the Monster Gui City, there are only nine masters who have entered the Saint level in each place.
This is limited by the rules, there is no way, so no one can break this restriction, but according to what the old man said just now, if Gui City has existed in ancient times, then its masters are likely to be countless.
The masters here do not refer to those who have entered the Sainthood, because there is a limit on the number of saints.
The so-called masters actually refer to those below the Sainthood.
Up to now, the advantage of the human world is not great, and it can even be said that it is completely at a disadvantage. Up to now, the entire human world has only seven saints, including the eunuch Wei who recently broke through to the Sainthood.
But according to the information obtained by Xu Bai, if the Human Gui City and the Monster Gui City reach a unity, their sainthood quotas will be added together. Just in terms of sainthood, they have already occupied a great advantage, which is already an extremely dangerous situation.
What's more, as the old man said just now, they have accumulated so many years below the Sainthood, and they must have reached a very scary number. Even if the weirds who entered the Gui City can no longer continue to practice, it is still a very scary number.
The masters of the Saint level were already at a disadvantage, and with these circumstances, they were at a disadvantage in all aspects.
If it weren't for the Chu Emperor's ascension, if the war had really started, the world would have become a weird paradise.
"That resource depletion should also affect the Weird City, right?" Xu Bai asked with a frown.
Logically speaking, no matter where it is, as long as the resources are depleted, it will be affected.
During that period of time, humans were almost annihilated, and only a few people survived. So, the Weird City should be the same.
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Prince Xu, you are right. Even the Weird City could not resist it at all, so they almost all died, and only a few Weird survived."
"But you forgot one thing, that is, many humans died at that time. After people die, even if there is only a small chance of becoming a Weird and entering the Weird City, when the number reaches a huge number, this probability is small, but it will also produce a qualitative change."
Xu Bai understood and said to himself that it was indeed the case.
Gui City did suffer heavy losses in the resource depletion, but the deaths of people replenished them with a lot of fresh blood, which is why...
Wait!
Xu Bai suddenly thought of something and frowned, "There are now nine masters at the level of Saint in both Human Gui City and Monster Gui City."
"According to some rules of Gui City, are these Saint-level weirds all Saint-level masters who died back then?"
He suddenly thought of this question. If it was really as he thought, then some of the Saint-level weirds in Gui City still came from a very distant era, and perhaps they had been seen in the ruins.
The old man nodded and said, "You are right, but it is not entirely true. Some of the Saint-level weirds do not completely belong to that distant era. After all, even if they are Saint-level masters, they still need to pay attention to some timing to become weird."
"Is that all?" Xu Bai said.
Just now, the old man said that he wanted to tell him the last thing, and now it seems that this is it.
Xu Bai is ready to use the soul method to see if what the old man said is correct.
"That's about it. That's all." The old man's eyes became cloudy again.
He slowly walked to the tombstone and gently stroked the words on it.
"Lord Xu, do you think that in this era, after the resources are exhausted in the future, there will be a savior?"
Xu Bai shook his head: "That's a matter of the future. You ask me this, I can't answer you, because I don't know what will happen in the future."
"If, I mean if." The old man turned his head and stared at Xu Bai seriously, saying: "If the resources are really about to be exhausted, and the savior appears again, will people still treat them as before?"
Xu Bai shook his head again: "I don't know."
The old man sighed, with a little loneliness in his eyes: "Even a talented person like Lord Xu doesn't know the future..."
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "I am only invincible below the level of Saint. There is a level above me that is Saint. I am afraid that even General Mu cannot give you a satisfactory answer."
"Maybe after the resources are exhausted in the future, the hearts of the most difficult people in the world will change, but that is all in the future. Maybe the resources will not be exhausted."
"What we have to do now is to seize this opportunity. When Emperor Chu ascended to heaven, he left us such a long period of recuperation. We must seize this time and make a thorough effort."
"As for whether it can succeed, sometimes you may not succeed even if you work hard, but at least you have to try."
The old man listened to Xu Bai's words, and the turbidity in his eyes became thicker and thicker. The breath of life on his body was gradually fading.
Xu Bai was slightly stunned and found that something was wrong. The old man's condition seemed to be gradually declining.
"I'm old, I'm useless." The old man sat back down with difficulty, looking at the grave in front of him: "Lord Xu, I am the descendant of that group of saviors, and I am the last one left. The other companions who know the whole story are all old and dead."
"I hope Lord Xu will not blame the Miao sect boys. They all know about me and are very good to me. The reason why they didn't tell others is for my safety. After all, there was not only one Great Chu Kingdom at that time."
"Before that, can I see Lord Xu's change of fate?"
Xu Bai frowned and said, "How to see?"
The old man in front of him already had a look of fading sun, and he even suspected that the old man would die in the next second.
The old man showed a difficult smile: "Just take a look. I have heard people in the world say that chaos and reason are entangled into madness. Maybe after I see it, I have a big secret to tell Lord Xu."
Xu Bai didn't waste words, he directly operated his true energy.
The gold and gray-white colors kept interweaving, forming chaos and reason. After continuous fusion, they entangled into a very terrifying madness.
Being in it, Xu Bai at this moment felt a huge sense of oppression. If some extraordinary masters saw it, they would be affected by horror.
The old man's face became dull. Looking at the gold and gray, feeling the changes, he muttered to himself: "That's right... That's right... Lord Xu, you must be careful."
"Don't set foot in the ruins again, let alone meet that eye."
Eye?
Xu Bai suddenly put away the sky change and took two steps forward: "The eye you are talking about, is it a huge eye that appears in the sky?"
When the word "eye" was mentioned, he remembered what he saw in the fat man's illusion.
The old man nodded and said, "Lord Xu, you are right. It is that eye. You don't need to ask me, because I don't know what it is either. But I always have an inexplicable feeling that it is very similar to you and your Tianbian."
"When I was young, I also set foot in the ruins and wanted to find clues left by my ancestors. I encountered that huge eye."
"I can be sure that it is not a relic. It is a living being. It seems to have been looking for something in the ruins. So Lord Xu must be careful."
Xu Bai fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time.
He also had a bead, which he also got from the fat man. It was called the Illusion Bead.
Maybe after the skills of illusion are developed, he may be able to find clues from it.
"Come on, Lord Xu." The old man opened his hands: "I am ready."
Xu Bai took back his thoughts just now and stopped thinking about them for the time being. Looking at the old man in front of him, his soul swept away directly...
After half an incense stick.
The soul that continued around was collected by him.
The old man regained consciousness, but his condition became worse and worse.
Just now, Xu Bai had used his soul to confirm that what the old man said was all true, without any adulteration. He also asked by the way if there were any secrets that were kept, and the result was no.
"How much time is left?" Xu Bai asked.
The old man thought carefully and closed his turbid eyes: "Three or five days, maybe even faster, I will die completely, hehe... I suspect this is also our reincarnation. In the past, the savior could continue, but now, it is no longer possible to continue the bloodline."
"This should mean that we are no longer needed. Perhaps when the resources are exhausted, new saviors will reappear."
Xu Bai did not continue to speak.
What the old man said was true, and all kinds of businesses in the world today are continued by the descendants of the saviors.
Xu Bai felt that he should give this old man some respect.
At least for now, the inheritance of the descendants of the saviors is indispensable in the world today.
"Right here?" Xu Bai asked.
The old man waved his hand and said, "This is it. I will finish my last journey here. Lord Xu, you can go now. It's a pity that I can't see whether you can succeed. I hope you can succeed."
Xu Bai didn't say anything more. He turned around and left.
Since it was the old man's own decision to stay here, Xu Bai did not interfere. As he said just now, at least he should give the old man in front of him some respect.
After Xu Bai left, the old man was the only one left in the empty forest.
The old man looked at the grave in front of him and sighed leisurely: "I'm leaving, I'll accompany you..."
His eyes gradually lowered, and the vitality gradually disappeared in his turbid eyes...
...
Xu Bai left the forest and returned along the original road. Soon he met Miao Long on the mountain road.
Miao Long's face was very complicated. Looking at the mountain road, his eyes seemed to pass through it and went to the forest.
"The old man is gone."
Xu Bai looked back, his soul expanded, and found that the old man had turned into a corpse.
"The three or five days I just said seem to be exaggerated."
"Master Miao, I'll leave the things here to you. I have something else to do. I have to go back to the barbarian fiefdom first."
Before leaving, he had confirmed that there was no progress bar on the tombstone.
He had heard so many secrets now, so he had to think about it carefully, and find a progress bar related to illusion, and crack the illusion bead in his hand.
Time was urgent, so he didn't want to stay here any longer.
Miao Long came back to his senses, put away his complicated eyes, nodded, and said respectfully: "Prince Xu, please take Miao Xiao with you."
This time, Miao Xiao led the way and brought Xu Bai here, so Xu Bai didn't think it was a big deal to take Miao Xiao back when he went back.
"If I become a saint, I will come to see as soon as possible to see if I can help you solve the problem of the golden silk Gu?" Xu Bai said.
Miao Long nodded and agreed.
Next, Xu Bai didn't stay any longer. After he found Miao Xiao, he carried Miao Xiao and flew directly to the barbarian fiefdom like he did when he came.
It didn't take long for him to return to the barbarian fiefdom. He first sent Miao Xiao back to Longzhou, and then went to the palace treasury.
When he arrived, Liu Qingfeng was still reading a book, and he didn't seem surprised at all that Xu Bai was back.
There were still some books in the palace treasury that had not been finished, so Xu Bai asked Liu Qingfeng directly where the books on illusion were.
Liu Qingfeng often read books here, so he knew the location, and pointed out a location to Xu Bai.
Xu Bai didn't continue to talk nonsense, and picked up the book and started reading directly.
While reading, he was still thinking about the information he had obtained before, trying to find clues from it and sort out these messy information.
The palace treasury soon returned to silence, and it became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
...
Xu Bai started to read the progress bar again.
On the other side, Shengzhou, far away from the royal city, has now been settled in by the Buddhists led by Wuhua.
According to reasonable planning, these forces naturally cannot be stationed in the palace.
It has nothing to do with their relationship with Xu Bai. Even if the relationship is good, they have to abide by some rules.
Wuhua is fine, he just wants to find a quiet place to continue to comprehend his black lotus.
Up to now, he has comprehended many new Buddhist scriptures, as well as many new Buddhist teachings and cultivation methods.
Now his identity has become more and more important in Buddhism.
Buddhists all over the world are counting on him to open up a new route, so Wuhua has been comprehending.
Next to him, Ah Xiu sat aside, bored with his hand supporting his chin, staring at Wuhua.
Wuhua has black hair draped over his shoulders and is wearing black clothes, which makes him look weird.
Especially when he sits cross-legged on the black lotus, this weird feeling is even deeper.
At this moment, he is comprehending an important Buddhist teaching, which is also obtained from the black lotus. His eyes are closed tightly, and he does not feel the changes around him.
This Buddhist teaching is extremely difficult, and with his current strength close to the extraordinary realm, it is still a bit difficult.
It took nearly a month to solve only seven or eight of them, and he still has to work hard on the rest.
Wuhua's eyes were tightly closed, his face showed a tangled look, and his brows were locked.
Ah Xiu, who was standing by, had seen all these situations.
At first, she thought that Wuhua had a problem, but as Wuhua explained later, she understood.
Because it was so difficult, the consumption on the body was naturally very large, so it was normal to have these symptoms.
Ah Xiu looked at Wuhua's face and thought to himself: "I don't know when there will be a perfect result..."
Originally, she and Wuhua were going to get married, but the great changes that Buddhism encountered later made Wuhua shoulder the burden. Wuhua told her to give him some more time, at least to restore some vitality to Buddhism.
Ah Xiu also knew it, so she didn't stop it, or even object, and just watched silently.
She wanted to, but she had to restrain herself.
Seeing Wuhua's face getting uglier and uglier, Ah Xiu couldn't help but sigh and felt a little distressed.
But at this time, Ah Xiu finally found something abnormal.
"Something is wrong. No matter how uncomfortable I was before, I would not sweat profusely. I have never encountered such a situation."
A Xiu is also a person in the industry. Although she is not famous, she still has some vision.
After seeing this situation, she stood up suddenly. Just when she wanted to take two steps forward, she remembered that she was weak and could not move at will.
After all, if she touched it casually, it would cause bad results and harm Wuhua.
"Go find the abbot!" Ah Xiu reacted quickly. Almost the moment the idea came into her mind, she turned around and left the room directly.
Now, only people in the same Buddhist sect can solve the problem.
After about a few minutes, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the abbots of the ten major temples all rushed in.
Wuhua is now an important figure in Buddhism, and it can be said to be the most important. When Wuhua decided to come to the barbarian fiefdom, the ten major abbots naturally followed.
"What's going on?" The abbot of the Vajra Temple was the first to rush in. When he saw the situation in front of him, he showed a surprised look on his face.
Because of their back and forth efforts, Wuhua's expression became even uglier at this time. Not only was there dense sweat on his face, but it also became as pale as paper.
"Let's see first." The other abbot reacted quickly, and walked to Wuhua in two steps, reaching out to Wuhua's wrist.
After a moment, the abbot put down his hand and shook his head.
"There is nothing abnormal, there is absolutely no problem with the body, but I don't know why his expression is very painful. Could it be that in addition to the body, other aspects feel different?"
Among the ten abbots, this abbot is the best at medical skills, so he can tell whether Wuhua is good or bad at a glance.
The abbot of the Vajra Temple said in a deep voice: "It is a very difficult journey to comprehend Buddhism from the black lotus. Could it be that he encountered something terrible on this journey?"
If there is no physical harm, then he must have seen or felt something, otherwise this situation would not occur, and what can make Wuhua feel terrified and pale must be extremely terrifying.
"Abbot, what should we do now?" Ah Xiu said in a panic.
The abbot of the Vajra Temple said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. As long as he is not physically injured, everything will be fine when he comes to his senses or wakes up."
A Xiu got a reassuring reply and was relieved.
Next, everyone stayed in the room, fearing that something might go wrong. While everyone was watching, Wuhua's expression began to change gradually.
First, he had an extremely pale face, sweat all over his head, but his face was extremely calm.
Later, as time went by, the calm face became complicated, and then from complicated to shock, and finally turned into endless fear.
This change in expression has been repeated over and over again, until it lasted for nearly an incense stick of time, the expression on Wuhua's face finally gradually disappeared, and finally returned to calm.
At this time, Wuhua's black clothes were wet with sweat, but the paleness on his face was gradually fading.
After nearly half an incense stick of time, Wuhua's eyes, which had been closed, finally slowly opened.
The moment he opened his eyes, there was a look of fatigue flowing in his eyes.
Wuhua did not wait for the people present to speak, and stood up from his seat in a panic, took two steps hurriedly, and said anxiously.
"Abbot, I'll leave this to you for the time being. I need to go to the palace immediately."
The abbot of the Vajra Temple was stunned, and after reacting, he frowned and said, "Did you see anything?"
Wuhua opened his mouth and was about to say it, but then closed his mouth and shook his head gently.
He didn't want to say it.
More, he didn't dare to say it here.
The abbot of the Vajra Temple knew what Wuhua was thinking, which must be a huge secret.
There was a reason why Wuhua didn't say it at this moment, and he wouldn't ask more.
After all, as the abbot of the Vajra Temple, he knew Wuhua, his disciple, the best. He didn't want to say it now, definitely because it would not benefit anyone, so he kept silent.
"Then do it as soon as possible. By the way, you went to the palace, could it be to see Prince Xu?" The abbot of the Vajra Temple couldn't help but said something.
Wuhua did not hide anything about this question, nodded, and admitted it directly.
His face showed a complex expression, he clasped his hands together, and sighed.
"I saw a lot of things from the black lotus, and these things shocked me."
"Perhaps... only Mr. Xu can give me the answer."
The people present fell silent and said nothing.
Wuhua did not explain more. He hurriedly pushed open the door without changing his clothes and rushed directly to the direction of the palace...
