Chapter 163: First Encounter with Hell
The temperature around him suddenly dropped, and Huike's cries stopped abruptly.
Instead, there was a biting cold and a nauseating smell.
Recalling the bronze door he had seen before... Zhou Zhilu's heart trembled. Could it be that he... had passed through the bronze door and arrived in hell?!
A strong sense of uneasiness instantly swept through his body. He wanted to use his spiritual energy, but the thick deathly aura around him had already wrapped him tightly.
Suddenly, a roar came from his ears. It was the monster. Zhou Zhilu subconsciously waved his hand to block it.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the darkness before my eyes, followed by a shrill roar.
The darkness gradually receded like the tide, and the world before my eyes gradually became clearer.
Zhou Zhilu found himself standing in a semicircular white light shield, and in front of him, a book was floating in the air.
It turned out to be the Right Prime Minister’s book “Detailed Explanation of the Way of Sacred Learning”!
The white light emitted by the book was full of holiness and righteousness. There was not a trace of death or darkness in the light, and the restricted spiritual energy could finally be used at will.
Not far outside the light shield, a humanoid monster was squatting on the ground, with long black hair flying behind its head, its dark eyes staring at this side, and a "clucking" sound coming from its mouth.
Zhou Zhilu understood that it was the aura of the saint in the book of Right Prime Minister that saved his life. For these dead air and resentment, the aura of saints and Buddhism is naturally the most effective in restraining them.
Zhou Zhilu looked around through the light shield. It was pitch black above and he could not see anything, but the ground under his feet was a little dark red. The surroundings looked like a desert, and it was also pitch black outside. The light shield he was in was the only light source here.
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I must not panic at this time!
Zhou Zhilu sat cross-legged on the ground, silently reciting the Fusu Sect's meditation mantra several times, and thought about his current situation.
If nothing unexpected happened, he should have been caught by that monster and taken to hell, but he didn't see the bronze door. There are two possibilities: one is that the monster has taken him some distance away from the bronze door;
There is another possibility which is even worse. The bronze door may have disappeared, or it may be one-way. Then how to leave here becomes a big problem.
Zhou Zhilu sighed and temporarily suppressed his speculation about the bronze door. After all, the most important thing for him now was to survive.
The death energy all around and the monsters in the distance are all deadly threats to him, and the martial arts that he is best at will be suppressed by the death energy. The only thing he can rely on is the sacred learning.
The monster in the distance kept walking around the light shield, roaring from time to time. It wanted to get closer, but was extremely afraid.
As for the book "Detailed Explanation of the Way of Sacred Learning", Zhou Zhilu was not sure how long the aura of the sage in the book could last. He had to improve his level of sacred learning as soon as possible!
Zhou Zhilu's eyes gradually became firm. With the help of the colorful spiritual energy of the Seven Silkworm God, he deprived himself of other thoughts, leaving only the practice of sacred learning in his heart.
This is also a way of using the colorful spiritual energy that Zhou Zhilu figured out. After all, spiritual practice requires the elimination of distracting thoughts, and sometimes even Buddhist and Taoist disciples may not be able to completely eliminate all distracting thoughts, but the colorful spiritual energy can be easily achieved through deprivation.
Recalling the content about sacred learning in the book, if one wants to advance to a higher level, one needs to establish a destiny. This destiny is similar to a contract oath, a contract signed with the civil movement in the body.
Zhou Zhilu looked intently at the Detailed Explanation of the Way of Sacred Learning and read softly:
"Everything that happens in the world is recorded, revealing the truth and warning future generations. This is history. But history is written by the victors, and its truth is hard to discern. Today, many truths are like dice in a bucket, with no one knowing what they will be. Now, I, Zhou Zhilu, have established my destiny: to restore the truth to the world, to lift the veil that has been veiled for so long."
As the words fell, the democracy movement that Zhou Zhilu had absorbed into his body began to gradually condense, and gradually condensed into a seed in his chest. This was the seed of destiny.
As Zhou Zhilu continues to fulfill his duties as entrusted by Heaven, the seed of Heaven's destiny will blossom and give birth to his own image of a saint.
White light flashed in Zhou Zhilu's eyes, and he immediately unfolded the "Book of Realms" in front of him. At the same time, the seed of destiny in his chest emitted light.
He wrote: "In 1735 of the Zhou Dynasty, Consort Wu Qianning died in Linhai, eastern China. The cause of death was suicide. Rumors spread that Consort Wu had an affair with the eldest prince of Fuhai State and was killed by a neighboring country while fleeing. This was a rumor. In reality, the jealous Emperor Zhou sent Ji Cheng to kill Consort Wu. Ji Cheng had known Consort Wu since his youth...
"After more than four hundred years, it was all in vain. The dead are a thing of the past, and it is irreversible. Millions of people died in their plans, which is tragic."
As the handwriting was finalized, a golden light suddenly emanated from the "Book of Boundaries". A history that lasted for hundreds of years was finally recorded here with all its truth.
Golden spiritual energy emerged from the book, part of it merged into Zhou Zhilu's body, and part of it flowed into the destiny seed in his chest.
At this moment, Zhou Zhilu's realm, which had already reached the peak of the fourth level, rose again, and a crack suddenly appeared in the seed of destiny, as if something inside it wanted to break out of the shell.
Zhou Zhilu closed his eyes and meditated quietly, while the monster outside the light shield roared desperately when he saw this, as if she also knew that the person in front of her seemed to be undergoing a transformation, and wanted to step forward to stop him, but the holy white light made her whole body feel like it was on fire.
After an unknown amount of time, a powerful aura suddenly burst out from Zhou Zhilu's body. At this moment, the book "Detailed Explanation of the Way of Sacred Learning" that was floating in the air fell to the ground under the impact of the aura, and the light shield around it disappeared instantly.
The monster wandering on the edge suddenly screamed when it saw this, and suddenly rushed over to Zhou Zhilu with its terrifying big mouth opened.
But in an instant, a white figure almost ten feet tall appeared behind Zhou Zhilu. It looked the same as Zhou Zhilu, wearing a long-sleeved Confucian robe, holding a book in its left hand and a pen in its right hand.
The figure raised the pen in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the monster, and a white light suddenly fell on it.
The crackling sound of burnt flesh and the screaming sound were heard at the same time, and the monster immediately ran away in fear.
Zhou Zhilu slowly opened his eyes. At this time, his learning of the saints had reached the level of a national scholar, and his martial arts had also broken through to the fifth level. With the saint-like figure Chang Liang behind him, he was no longer afraid of the deathly aura in this place.
Looking at the monster in the distance, Zhou Zhilu sighed. Having said that, he didn't know how to deal with it. Now he could only prevent it from getting close, but he was not sure if he could get rid of it.
It's just a pity for the saintly doctor Wu Qianning, who appeared in this form hundreds of years after his death. Sigh...
