But determination cannot change the aging of the body.

No matter how pious and firm he is, his age is still getting older and worse.

Gradually, he could not carry so much firewood and went to town.

He couldn't even plant the cornfield outside the temple, so he could only spend money to ask someone to help.

As he walked, he started to pant.

Obviously people of the same age can still work in the ground, but he quickly grows old.

Then, began to cough up blood.

And often wake up from pain in the middle of the night, the pain in the chest cavity is like a knife.

The monk knew that he was not old, but sick.

And the condition is very serious.

The pharmacology he knew was nothing before this serious condition.

Faced with this increasingly serious disease, he did not try to treat it.

Because he knew that this was the reminder that the Buddha was giving him-his time limit was approaching.

The monk was even a little joyful.

Does this mean that his piety finally touched the Buddha and will soon be reborn in bliss?

The monk began to prepare seriously.

He turned out the old scriptures left by Master and found the cultivation method in it.

He decided to sit in the tank.

Perhaps through this method, one can cultivate into a flesh Buddha and truly rebirth in bliss.

Although he is only one person, it is very troublesome.

But the monk believes that his pious beliefs can guide him to the ultimate pure land of bliss.

He started to prepare and ran away with his tired body.

He feels that he has less and less time, but fortunately, preparations for sitting in the tank are not complicated.

He quickly got everything ready, and sat alone in the huge tank, and then sealed the lid for himself.

He had only one person, so when he sat in the tank, he didn't think about going out again.

In the darkness, he meditated all the heart sutras he had read in his life.

Hungry, began to eat away at his body.

But he was not afraid, his heart was extremely peaceful.

He has the confidence to sit like this until the moment he sits.

But gradually, physical pain began to appear.

The pain of illness constantly tore his spiritual will.

The suffering of hunger made his consciousness more and more confused.

He was hungry and in pain, sitting alone in a dark tank, with darkness on all sides.

What I smell between my nose is pungent lime.

This lonely and dark and weird environment will magnify a person's inner anxiety.

As time passed, unspeakable panic and fear suddenly caught him.

——Do you really become a Buddha if you do it yourself?

Can I really cultivate righteousness if I recite Buddhism and worship Buddha every day in the dark?

There are so many Buddhas and monks in the world, can all of them become Buddhas?

Even the most terrifying and the most rebellious thoughts will arise in his heart-does the Buddha really exist?

The monk's heart is messed up.

He hurriedly closed his wisdom fist, wanted to get inner peace, and wanted to be enlightened by the Buddha.

However, even if the mudra was formed, his mood could not be calmed down.

Instead, he was firmly gripped by more and more fear and pain.

He desperately wanted to cry out, but he couldn't make any sound anymore.

He wanted to cry out for help in pain, but there was no one in the dilapidated temple.

Finally, he finally died.

He was out of pain, out of body.

However, even more terrifying torture violently tortured him after his death.

Not only did he not die in bliss, but instead became the most filthy and terrifying thing in the world-Li Gui!

...

…………

"..." Yang Xuming's eyes slowly opened.

He found himself standing in a huge, pitch-black cave. The cold wind passed through the cave and was blowing on him, making his body cold.

Here, in the belly of Yegu Cave, all sides are dark.

Only a girl with a surprised expression and a candle stood quietly beside her.

Ying Sixue...

Obviously, Ying Sixue just woke up just like him.

Both of them looked at the surrounding environment in astonishment, a little shocked.

"Are we out?" Ying Sixue looked around nervously and asked in a low voice.

Yang Xuming was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

He looked at the boulder ahead.

On that boulder, there was a black shadow sitting silently.

In the dark, it is not clear what it looks like.

But the dark silhouette looked like a compassionate monk sitting cross-legged.

The moment Yang Xuming saw it, the dark shadow slowly spoke.

"The dust returns to the dust, the soil returns to the earth... The deception of self-deception is just to plunge oneself into a more terrifying hell."

The shadow whispered, "This is a truth I should have awakened long ago, but it's a pity..."

"Twenty years ago, when Liu was born, he didn't completely save me."

"He said I could wake up by myself and gave me a chance to transcend myself... but I let him down."

"Not only did I fail to fully awaken, but I completely perished in a completely closed false world."

"I failed his trust."

The black shadow calmly looked at Yang Xuming and said, "Now, it's time to end all this... young man, do it, I won't resist."

The whispers of the black shadow shocked Yang Xuming.

"Twenty years ago? Liu Sheng? Do you know the uncle?"

The black shadow was silent for a few seconds, and said, "Yes... Twenty years ago, it was Liu Sheng's appearance that stopped my indiscriminate killing of innocent people and prevented me from committing any deeper sins."

"It was he who sent me into that closed and false world and made me superpower."

"You are his successor... Didn't he ask you to end me?"

Sombra asked.

"Uh...this..." Yang Xuming twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "It was a book that asked me to come."

Soi Ying nodded, "That's it..."The Record of Life and Death" is the inheritance token of the guide. You should carry the "Record of Life and Death" on your body, right?"

Yang Xuming nodded, but denied, "But I am not a guide."

The black shadow was silent for a few seconds, and said, "In that case...then you can swallow me."

"If you are not a guide, you can't send me into the river of blood. But the diary on your body seems to be able to devour evil spirits?"

"Swallow me, let me disappear completely, this is the ending I should have accepted."

"Also, please move faster, I can hardly stay awake anymore."

The shadow was trembling slightly, as if desperately suppressing something in his body.

Its voice became more and more hoarse and unpleasant, "I don't want to kill..."

Seeing the appearance of the black shadow, Yang Xuming couldn't delay any longer.

Although there are 10,000 questions in his heart that he wants to ask, he even wants to have a good chat with this black shadow about his uncle.

But the stronger the ghost, the more confused it is, there is no doubt.

It was almost a miracle that the ghost in front of him could stay awake for so long.

Seeing the situation can no longer be delayed, Yang Xuming decisively threw out Xiaozi's diary and shouted.

"Xiaozi!"

A pale ghost hand suddenly stretched out from the diary.

While the diary fell on the boulder, the shadow sitting on the top of the boulder was dragged into the diary by the ghost hand.

There is no resistance or struggle.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xuming calmed down a little.

it's finally over……

Ying Sixue blinked and asked quietly, "It's over?"

"Well, it's over," Yang Xuming said with a smile, the sun was shining, and he was relaxed.

——Then the phone rang.

"Let me grow up for three thousand years and wander in the world..."

The moment the long vicissitudes of singing sounded, the smile on Yang Xuming's face froze.

Call at this point?

Isn't it...

With some horror, he took out the phone and found that it was not the phone call.

It's... SMS!

Yang Xuming's hand shook sharply, and the phone almost fell out.

Ying Sixue on the side looked at his reaction in astonishment, and said, "What's wrong? Who sent you the text message?"

Yang Xuming quickly glared at her in horror, and made a silent gesture to shut the girl up.

——What if plum hears your voice?

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ying Sixue covering her mouth in shock and confusion.

Then Yang Xuming settled down and opened the phone's inbox.

Found that it was indeed Plum's text message.

There is only one caller number consisting of such garbled code, Li Zi.

However, several text messages came, and they were not sent at the same time.

It seems because he couldn't receive the signal when he was in that false world, so now the text message came out and came over?

Yang Xuming clicked on the first text message, and it was a very concise sentence-you killed it?

Seeing this question, Yang Xuming was stunned for two seconds before he realized that Li Zi was referring to her sister-in-law.

Could it be that when Yang Xuming killed Sister Li, she felt it?

emmmmm...Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Yang Xuming opened the second text message again, and saw that the content of the text message was-why did you kill it?

After reading the second text message, Yang Xuming hesitated.

These two text messages were sent together at one minute intervals.

But what does Li Zi mean by this sentence?

Doesn't she know why she wants to kill her sister-in-law?

Yang Xuming remembers that he would announce at her door every time before going out...Or she didn't want Yang Xuming to kill her sister-in-law?

She still wants her sister-in-law to continue to be tortured?

Or do you think Yang Xuming is troubled?

Anyway, this tone is not very friendly...

Yang Xuming clicked on the third and last text message, and there was also a one-minute interval between the third text message and the previous one.

The content is-hurry home.

Very concise.

But Yang Xuming was anxious for a moment.

Because half an hour has passed since the time the third short message was sent.

MMP has been in the fantasy world for so long?

Yang Xuming hurriedly said to Si Xue, "Go, go, take me home quickly!"

Then ignoring Ying Sixue's shocked reaction, Yang Xuming ran to retrieve Xiaozi's diary.

Then he ran back, dragging Ying Sixue with a bewildered look into the cave, "If I don't go home again, my wife is going to come and kill me!"

Ying Sixue froze for a moment, and suddenly looked around nervously.

"Um... do you think she has already come over?"
