Ruins of the past

Hearing this voice, Chu Qiguang was slightly surprised: 'A woman's voice? Is there any life that can communicate? ’

He thought for a moment, took a few steps back, and asked softly: "Can you see what is talking?"

Zhou Yujiao shook her head: "The medicine has worn off. It's so dark here that I can't see clearly."

At this moment, Qiao Zhi's voice also sounded: "There's no light at all, you can't see it at all."

It turned out that after Zhou Yujiao found that it was too dark to see clearly, she directly asked Qiao Zhi to use the technique of human-cat complementation.

Unfortunately, there is almost no visible light in the dark areas of the Buddhist world.

In such an environment, even the cat demon's night vision ability is difficult to see.

Chu Qiguang currently only has the Suppressing Demon Division's Kaimu Pill in hand. After taking it, he can clearly see the darkness here.

Zhou Yujiao asked: "Do you want me to eat the remaining half?"

Chu Qiguang said: "This medicine contains erysipelas, so you can't take too much. You can keep it for now."

My sister's ability to monitor the Buddhist world is very useful, and the situation at hand does not seem too dangerous. Chu Qiguang does not intend to let her take Kaimu Pills.

After all, not everyone can ignore erysipelas like him.

Next, Chu Qiguang drew out his Heavenly Slashing Sword and crossed the city gate step by step.

And the woman's weak voice continued: "Master, are you here?"

Chu Qiguang came outside the city wall and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw a huge palm slapped on the dilapidated city wall, and fingers as thick as a man were inserted deeply into the wall.

And the sound came from the gap between the palm and the wall.

It seemed that the other party was knocked into the city wall by this giant hand.

"I am the Jin girl, specifically looking for the Buddha's fire and the people who serve you."

Hearing these words, Chu Qiguang asked curiously: "Serve me? Do you know me?"

"I was born to serve the Master," said the voice calling herself Jhin Girl.

"There are still sane people in the Buddha's kingdom... who are the masters. This is the guidance of the Buddhas."

"And you are the first master I met. From now on, I will be your Jinnu."

Chu Qiguang nodded: "Then you will do whatever I ask you to do?"

Jinnu responded softly: "If you need help to extinguish the Buddha's fire, you can order me at will."

"Extinguish the Buddha's fire?" Chu Qiguang thought about it. After eating the Buddha's fire, wouldn't it be extinguished?

So he said, "That's a coincidence. That's what I want to do, but how can you help me?"

Jin Nu said: "If you can find my eyes, I can see the traces of fire and help you find them."

Seeing Chu Qiguang chatting back and forth with the strange woman, Zhou Yujiao curled her lips and whispered: "In such a weird place, with such a strange woman, how can my brother still be so good at chatting? Isn't he afraid? No Are you worried about whether the person you’re talking to is a human being?”

Qiao Zhi said: "This is nothing. As long as you are brave, even female ghosts can..."

"Shut up, don't cause trouble." Chu Qiguang turned around and cursed, and then the Tianzhan Sword brought up layers of energy and slashed towards the giant hand in front of him.

Amidst the crackling sounds, the giant hand continued to crack.

Chu Qiguang felt that the feeling of chopping with this giant hand was similar to that of a Buddha.

A wave of heat erupted from his body, and as his energy and blood surged, the blade had sliced ​​open the giant hand inch by inch.

As the stone fragments flew, the stone hand cracked layer by layer, and finally fell to the ground with a series of rumbling sounds.

In the burst of smoke, a figure fell down and stood up tremblingly.

Chu Qiguang struck out with a palm, and the air wave rolled back, blowing away the smoke and dust.

Then she saw a girl wearing a dark gown, pale and thin, with short hair appearing in front of her.

What worried Chu Qiguang more was that the other party's eyes were covered with a layer of white cloth, making it impossible to see his eyes at all.

But even though her eyes were blocked, the girl's face still looked extremely delicate, like a doll.

The rescued Jinnu said: "Master, please help me find my eyes, and then completely extinguish the flames of this Buddhist kingdom."

Chu Qiguang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of the other party: "Where have your eyes gone?"

Jin Nu said: "The monsters who wanted to deliver fire took away my eyes. Only by finding my eyes can I see those small fires in the distant darkness."

Chu Qiguang touched his chin. Originally, his goal was to steal the Buddhist fire occupied by Li Yaofeng.

But if the Jin girl in front of her can really find other Buddha fires after finding her eyes, that would be a better way.

Especially since this is also related to the traces of other Buddha fires in the future, the benefits will be greater in the long run.

But it depends on how long it takes to find the other person's eyes.

Chu Qiguang asked: "Where are your eyes? Are they far from here?"

Jin Nu said: "My eyes were taken away from me in this city, and I can feel that they are still in this city, not far away."

Chu Qiguang briefly calculated the benefits and risks in his mind, and then decided to help Jin Nu look at her eyes.

After all, this is much safer than dealing with a Taoist immortal like Li Yaofeng, and there are also future benefits that can be expected.

So he took Jinnu back to the city, followed the other person's senses and crossed the streets, trying to avoid the Buddhas and monsters along the way.

Along the way, Jin Nu obeyed Chu Qiguang's words, as if she would do whatever he asked her to do.

When Chu Qiguang saw the two Buddhas lying on the ground not far away, he casually asked, "How about you go and lead the two Buddhas in front away?"

Jin Nu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I am your Jin Nu, and I will follow your instructions."

"Farewell, Master. May the Buddha's fire guide you."

Seeing Jin Nu really stepping out, Chu Qiguang immediately pulled her back: "Forget it, I changed my mind."

Seeing the puzzled expression on Jin Nu's face, Chu Qiguang shook his head: "Why are you stupider than my sister? Oh... follow me, don't die."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Zhou Yujiao said angrily: "I'm still here!"

Jin Nu asked strangely: "Master, is there anyone else around?"

Chu Qiguang said: "He is a fool, don't worry about him."

Qiao Zhi laughed happily, he liked watching Chu Qiguang bullying Zhou Yujiao.

Chu Qiguang whispered: "Shut up, we are taking risks! What should we do if we attract the evil Buddha here?"

Along the way, Chu Qiguang also asked Jin Nu about the situation in the Buddhist world.

Chu Qiguang asked: "Were you a resident here before?"

Jin Nu shook her head: "No."

"When the Buddha's fire gets out of control, the light will reflect a crazy world."

"Only endless darkness can stop it from spreading."

"Buddha plans to extinguish that flame."

"And I was trained by the Buddhas, and I exist specifically to serve the fire-extinguishing master."

"Buddhas?" Chu Qiguang asked again: "Then do you know where the Buddhas went?"

Jin Nu said: "In order to extinguish all the Buddha fires, the great Buddhas are still exploring the distant depths of the Buddha world, looking for the remaining fires."

Chu Qiguang said unexpectedly: "Still in the Buddhist world?"

Jin Nu nodded and said: "It is the mission of the Buddhas and me to end and witness the extinction of the Buddha's fire."

Chu Qiguang thought to himself that Li Yaofeng didn't seem to have met Jin Nu and Fo? I don’t know how much this Taoist immortal knows about this.

They walked and stopped all the way in the huge city shrouded in darkness, bypassing all the Buddhas, and finally arrived outside a vast temple.

Chu Qiguang took another eye-opening pill and carefully observed the temple in front of him.

I saw that the gate of the temple was dozens of meters wide, with stone pillars standing high. It would be like a huge Buddhist temple prepared for giants.

What made Chu Qiguang feel a little strange was that there were no traces of Buddhist evil spirits or monsters near this temple.

Jin Nu said: "I can feel that my eyes are in front of me."

Chu Qiguang took Jin Nu into the temple. The two of them walked on the square in front of the main hall. From a distance, they looked like two ants.

At this moment, a black shadow brought up a gust of wind and struck towards Chu Qiguang and Jin Nu.

Chu Qiguang's eyes flashed, and the Tianzhan Sword slashed out, with a burst of screams and black shadows colliding hard together.

The black shadow flew out in an instant, rolled several times on the ground and then stopped. The long sword in his hand was stuck on the ground, with gaps showing on the blade.

But Chu Qiguang also felt his arms sink, and the Tianzhan Sword in his hand almost came out.

Chu Qiguang tightened the Tian Zhan Dao in his hand and looked at the black shadow with his eyes.

It was a figure covered in a black gown, and the words coming from the seeker's eyes were:

"The ashes of Buddha's fire?"

"Is it something similar to a Buddha or a monster again?"

"The strength seems to be similar to that of Buddha. Not as strong, but more flexible and faster."

"This Buddhist world is really dangerous. If it were a master of the fifth realm, he would have died long ago."

At this moment, the man in black's body flashed with faint firelight, like blood vessels, and like sparks flickering in the ashes.

boom! Flames spurted out from the opponent's sword, instantly dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Qiao Zhi said in surprise: "There is light! Now I can finally see it!"

The screen had been black for a long time, and I could only listen to Chu Qiguang and Jin Nu chatting, but Qiao Zhi was bored to death.

Zhou Yujiao's voice also came: "My brother told you to shut up, didn't you hear?"

Qiao Zhi said angrily: "You are too vindictive!"

"Shut up, everyone." Chu Qiguang shouted in a low voice, colliding with the black shadow in front of him again.

The swords clashed, making loud noises.

'It's a bit awesome...'

Then a heat wave rose into the sky. Chu Qiguang was full of energy and blood, and he had already launched a horizontal exercise. Then the long knife in his hand brought up the shadow of the knife in the sky, rushing toward the opponent like a mountain and a tsunami.

The long sword in the black shadow's hand shattered instantly, and his whole body was strangled by the blade.

Along with a burst of sharp Zen singing, the black shadow's body instantly turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.

A trace of Buddhist fire was absorbed by Chu Qiguang, exuding a faint firelight and surrounding his arm.

After killing the black shadow, Chu Qiguang exhaled a breath, took out the Shenzhi Pill and drank it. After his physical strength recovered for a while, he continued to move forward with Jin Nu.

Jin Nu, who couldn't see it, asked from the side: "Is that... a monster just now?"

Listening to Chu Qiguang's description, Jinnu said, "I'm afraid it's one of those monsters that stole my eyes."

Chu Qiguang asked: "Why did they steal your eyes?"

Jin Nu said: "After the Buddha's fire gets out of control, not all the Buddhas on Mount Sumeru are willing to extinguish the flame."

"There are also Buddhas and monks who are obsessed with the light of the Buddha's fire and run around to spread the fire."

"They are gradually infected by the Buddha's fire, and they forget themselves in the devil's influence."

"Even after going completely crazy, there is still a desire to spread fire in my heart."

Next, they crossed the square and entered the main hall. They looked at the mottled Buddha statue that was more than ten meters high in the hall, and walked around behind the Buddha statue.

At this moment, another black shadow struck.

After a fight, the black shadow was killed again by Chu Qiguang with the Sea-breaking Dragon-Slaying Sword.

As the black shadow turned into ashes and dissipated, another burst of Buddhist fire was absorbed by Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang rested for a while, and then under Jin Nu's induction, he used the Heavenly Slashing Sword to break open a secret door and walked into the spiral staircase behind the secret door.

Walking on the sinking stairs, accompanied by a gust of wind blowing from bottom to top, there seemed to be bursts of burning smell in the air.

Chu Qiguang could also see pieces of ashes being blown up by the wind.

After reaching the bottom of the stairs, what I saw...the ground was covered with a thick layer of ash, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

Ahead is a long underground passage.

Chu Qiguang stepped out and found that the ashes were more than ten centimeters thick.

He could only pull Jin Nu and walk forward as gently as possible so as not to stir up the ashes on the ground.

After walking about a hundred meters and turning a corner... my eyes suddenly became brighter.

But what he saw made Chu Qiguang slightly shocked.

I saw a huge space underneath, with dozens or hundreds of corpses piled up haphazardly.

Each of them actually looked exactly like Jin Nu and wore the same clothes.

While Chu Qiguang was observing, a corpse suddenly burst into flames and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, dissipating into the air.

Seeing this scene, Chu Qiguang's eyes narrowed, thinking that the ashes he had just seen on the ground along the way were all caused by the burning of the corpses in front of him?

Chu Qiguang glanced at Jin Nu beside him. She couldn't see anything, but she just continued to walk forward: "My eyes are right here. I can feel that they are closer."

Chu Qiguang followed the other party to the corpses walking on the ground.

As they moved forward, the number of corpses under their feet gradually decreased, and more and more strange statues appeared in front of Chu Qiguang.

These statues are pure black, some are hands, some are feet, some are heads, all are placed randomly on the ground.

A few statues were spliced ​​together by someone, turning them into incomplete girls.

‘It’s the Jin girl again. ’

Chu Qiguang frowned and continued to move forward with Jin Nu next to him.

After advancing for a while, they saw black burn marks on the ground, as well as ashes piled together in groups.

After finally reaching the end of the space below, what appeared in front of Chu Qiguang this time was a large number of corpses.

But this time, almost all the corpses had turned into bones, and the clothes on their bodies were all in tatters. It was not known how long they had been dead.

Jinnu walked to a cabinet and touched each drawer: "It's right here..."

While Jin Nu was looking for her own eyes, Chu Qiguang came to a desk. Feeling the hotness of the Fool's Ring, he picked up a book and started reading.

At the same time, lines of writing came from the seeker’s eyes.

"Diary of a Fire Extinguisher."

"The records left by those who try to extinguish the Buddha's fire."

"It is said that the Buddhas used the ashes of the Buddha's fire to create dark eyes in order to extinguish the flames."

"Maybe because of this, fire attracts them so much, right?"
