Chapter 178: Heaven and Earth Are Pure
Chapter 178: Heaven and Earth Are Pure
Countless bright golden lights rose up again, weaving a new cage in the wind and rain, trapping Gu Zhuo in it once again.
It's not that he doesn't want to escape, but with his current state, there is no possibility for him to escape from this cage first.
This time, Jin Cancan no longer stood still and watched coldly. Instead, he moved forward with a shovel in his hand, using his physical body to block the only way out before his Taoism was fully formed.
The wind and rain never stopped, and the rain vines summoned by the Liuyun Sword were still entwined around the short and fat body, but he broke them directly into pieces of water splashes.
At this moment, there was no longer any unnecessary emotion in his eyes, nor the previous nagging desire. Only the indifference that a Wuyoushan killer should have remained.
There was no one in the room.
It is impossible for another person to come out and risk his own life to forcibly break this Taoist magic for Gu Zhuo. What should we do now?
Just as Jin Cancan raised the shovel and was about to end the assassination...suddenly a warm light shone into his eyes.
Not that golden light.
It is Buddha's light.
In the rainstorm, in the golden cage, Gu Zhuo stretched out a finger.
Two different lights blended into one.
The brilliant golden light that made up the cage was diluted with murderous intent and was no longer so intense and unbearable.
Above Gu Zhuo's fingertips, a ray of Buddha's light like a candle fluttered in the wind, bringing warmth.
This is of course the true Buddhist teaching of Zen Buddhism.
Last fall, he traveled to and visited 480 temples in the south and gained a lot.
Jin Cancan had a blank expression on his face and ignored the true scriptures of the Cha'an Temple. He moved the shovel in his hand faster and slammed it down.
And the moment before the golden light faded, Gu Zhuo had already begun to retreat.
Unfortunately, no matter how scheming he was, he was still not faster than the shovel.
With a dull thud, the shovel failed to hit his chest, but instead met the hand print he had formed head-on.
The Zen Buddhism's ability to persevere was fully revealed at this moment, and that ray of Buddha's light refused to go out.
boom!
Gu Zhuo's body was severely injured, like a kite with a broken string, or like a piece of rag, floating backwards miserably.
The golden cage, diluted by Buddhism, met him, and still cut him horizontally and vertically, but it could not cut through his body, but only tore his clothes and left wounds.
Jin Cancan's mind moved slightly.
The cage suddenly broke apart, and the golden light turned into arrows and shot towards Gu Zhuo.
The Buddha nature in Taoism has not yet been eliminated, and it lingers there like a cancer attached to the bone, preventing this killing move from being a killing move.
The arrow was not strong enough to penetrate Gu Zhuo's body, but it did bring out red flowers.
The scene is bloody, but also kind of beautiful and miserable.
At the same time, Jin Cancan threw the shovel in his hand, breaking the entanglement of the rain vines, and wanted to cut off Gu Zhuo's neck directly with the sharpest tip!
This was undoubtedly his final blow.
Because there were sounds coming from afar, it was the powerful men from the old families in Wangjing who came after hearing the news.
Jin Cancan's eyes were calm and she turned around to leave.
Regardless of whether this attack succeeds or fails, whether Gu Zhuo is dead or alive, he must go.
At this moment, his eyes saw Song Jinglun through the rain, and his heart suddenly felt extremely cold.
An extremely dangerous feeling enveloped his entire body.
At the same moment, the thunder that had been lingering in the clouds for a long time finally fell, and the darkness between the sky and the earth was instantly submerged in white, leaving no trace.
The people who were rushing to the ruins saw a bolt of lightning connecting the sky and the earth, hitting the shovel that was running towards Gu Zhuo exactly. A light more ferocious and intense than the lightning burst out from it and pierced into everyone's eyes.
Amid the endless roar, the terrifying force reverberated and impacted the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
Jin Cancan's mind was connected with the iron shovel, and his Taoist heart was inevitably strongly shocked, causing his face to turn slightly pale.
The shovel was knocked to the ground by the lightning and could not move.
Gu Zhuo closed his eyes in advance to avoid the scorching light brought by the thunder, and even let go of control of his body.
The strong wind swept him up, trying its best to carry him away, but it could never be faster than the shovel that was still moving forward.
Song Jinglun's eyes were blurred by the rain and he could not see this scene, but he could vaguely sense what was happening there. He knew that Gu Zhuo's life was hanging by a thread at this moment, and perhaps the hope of life was in his hands.
So he simply crushed the talisman that the supervisor gave him.
An aura instantly enveloped the entire ruins.
This aura is so lofty, as if it is outside the world, looking at everything in the world with a merciless gaze, bringing destruction to all things.
Let the dust return to dust.
Let the earth return to the earth.
The powerful men from Wangjing who were rushing to the ruins recognized that this was the work of the Supervisor. They couldn't help but feel very happy and breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that Gu Zhuo would definitely survive.
When Jin Cancan sensed this breath, his face became even paler than snow, but his eyes were filled with calmness and self-mockery.
Just as he thought, the other party had no intention of letting him survive from the very beginning.
Right.
After all, only the dead can make people feel at ease.
Thinking of this, the corners of Jinchan's mouth slowly curled up, and the self-deprecating smile turned into sarcasm.
How could he die so willingly?
With the appearance of the purification mantra, the roar brought by thunder began to disappear, and silence followed.
The world in the rain is getting colder and colder.
……
……
"Before you actually beat a guy."
Pei Jinge said softly: "Words are the most powerless things in this world."
She looked at De Qiusi quietly, her voice as cold as autumn rain: "As long as I want to take action, even at this moment, I can still do it."
De Qiusi said in a deep voice: "So I'm curious about what you are here for. Is it just to send Gu Zhuo off?" Pei Jinge laughed, with a rare gentle smile, and said: "You will know later."
……
……
Beyond the ruins.
When the talisman was crushed, the Purification Mantra appeared between heaven and earth, and Song Jinglun's mind was immersed in it.
His mind had never been so clear, his vision had never been so broad, and the world had never been so clear.
The entire battlefield appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Gu Zhuo with his eyes closed.
Jin Cancan sneered.
The lightning gradually began to dissipate, and the suppressed iron shovel flew up again, aimed at Gu Zhuo, and continued to move forward.
Song Jinglun's gaze was forced to move away from Jin Cancan and fell on the shovel. When he was about to cast the purification spell to save Gu Zhuo... suddenly countless scenes appeared in his mind.
The Purification Mantra not only works in the real world, but also in his inner world.
Many details that he had never noticed in the past became particularly clear at this moment.
That was the rumor that Lin Qianshui had waited until late at night for Gu Zhuo, that was the past when Lin Qianshui tactfully pleaded for Gu Zhuo at parties, that was the longing that Lin Qianshui had revealed when she talked about Gu Zhuo intentionally or unintentionally in many conversations...
What's more, he knew that he was far inferior to Gu Zhuo.
From sorrow, humiliation, and sadness to rage, jealousy, resentment, and hatred, countless thoughts were hooked up from the depths of his heart by a line called cause and effect, and exposed completely.
Song Jinglun opened his eyes wide, his Taoist heart was strongly impacted by these emotions, which instantly overwhelmed his mind and forced him to make a decision.
A roar came from his mouth, with a madness that everyone could hear.
Immediately afterwards, under the gazes of countless eyes, the power condensed by the Purification Mantra finally descended upon Gu Zhuo!
Song Jinglun actually wants to kill Gu Zhuo!
An uproar!
Those people who were still rejoicing before were simply unable to accept this fact. They thought they had seen it wrong and cried out in disbelief.
Some people tried to do something, but they were so far away from each other that they were powerless.
It was not only the people in Wangjing who were shocked by this. Jin Cancan's sneer also froze.
He never imagined that the Purification Mantra was not aimed at himself.
The reason why he let the shovel continue to move forward was that he judged that the other party would definitely save Gu Zhuo in this situation, otherwise the matter could not be explained, not because he really wanted to kill people.
This is just a choice of attacking and saving.
Jin Cancan subconsciously turned around and looked at Gu Zhuo who was in the wind and rain, thinking that no one could save you this time.
As soon as he thought of this, he naturally called back the shovel and prepared to break out of the encirclement.
……
……
In the underground palace.
The supervisor smiled slightly, as if drinking fine wine.
He seemed unaware of what was happening on the other side of the ruins, unaware that Song Jinglun had made such a bizarre choice, and was happy that Gu Zhuo had survived this terrible assassination.
Yes, there was no reason for him to know about all the changes happening outside. After all, the old imperial city formation had encountered problems, forcing him to stay here and unable to leave.
Under this premise, how much does what happened there have to do with him?
As for Song Jinglun's choice...that was naturally unexpected.
After all, how could he have imagined that Song Jinglun had such a dark mind and had such a terrible obsession and hatred towards Gu Zhuo?
After this incident, he will return to Wangjing to blame himself and ask His Majesty to punish him. After all, this is his apprentice, but that's all.
But what will be Song Jinglun’s fate?
The supervisor sighed and thought that the best outcome...maybe he would commit suicide on the spot?
Of course death is bad.
But compared to living in torture and accepting all kinds of harsh punishments in a dark prison, this is obviously much happier.
I believe Song Jinglun would also agree with this view.
This makes sense.
so be it.
……
……
The lightning had already dissipated.
The sky and the earth were dark.
Gu Zhuo opened his eyes.
To everyone's surprise, his expression was very calm. There was no trace of despair in his eyes. Instead, there was an indescribable weirdness.
The Purification Mantra is invisible and intangible, but it can cause all things to disappear. It is one of the most amazing Taoist methods and is similar to supernatural powers.
He was very familiar with this, and the scenery he saw was just as he knew it.
Everything within a radius of dozens of feet was crumbling.
The bricks and stones were gravel, all burned away by the remaining rain.
The wind and rain in the sky suddenly disappeared, leaving a clear sky above the ruins.
The dust is gone!
The sky is clear and the earth is pure!
At this moment, Gu Zhuo's gaze fell on Song Jinglun.
He said with his spiritual consciousness: "It's time for you to wake up."
