Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 574 Suffering on Behalf of All Living Beings

"what?"

Just give it to me?

Li Miao was a little confused. He couldn't figure out what this ascetic monk was thinking.

However, after learning from the lesson of the woman's head, he was only surprised for a moment, and then said seriously: "Thank you, I will definitely hang your head to relieve you from the pain."

Hear this.

The ascetic monk seemed to understand what Li Miao was worried about, and then chuckled: "Don't worry, sir. I don't have such a heavy obsession with death."

"If you can find a better head to hang, I will be happy for you."

Hear this.

Li Miao felt a little surprised. Somehow, he felt that this ascetic monk really didn't have the desire to be liberated. Instead, he was extremely peaceful, with a feeling of "I can live or die"...

This made Li Miao feel a little curious... Why did the other party have such an idea?
He wanted to ask, but he was still in the water and it was very unsafe, so he decided to go ashore first and ask.

However, now that we have the ascetic's head, the five-legged monster's head is probably of no use.

But after hesitating for a moment, Li Miao decided to take him with him first.

After all, this guy had been suffocating and suffering in the water with him for so long. If he just put it into the water, the other party would have to endure such pain forever.

Forget it, your brother Miaozi is kind-hearted and can’t stand this.

I'll find a place to put you down after we get ashore!

Li Miao thought in his heart, but did not let go of the hand that was holding the head of the five-legged monster.

The ascetic monk seemed to have noticed Li Miao's actions, and then calmly recounted the origin of the five-legged monster: "These are two pitiful children."

"One was born with three legs and no head and sleeps day and night, while the other was born with five legs and two heads and cannot sleep peacefully."

"They came to Hanging Skull Harbor to probably solve this congenital defect."

"It's a pity that the prostitute on the boat seduced them into the swamp for her own selfish desires."

"But the prostitute on the ship did not benefit from it. Instead, she was devoured by another tyrannical creature, which then stuffed the heads of the three-legged child and the five-legged child into her only head, causing her to suffer from constant headaches and never be able to sleep peacefully..."

After hearing what the ascetic monk said, Li Miao was stunned.

what? !

The prostitute on the boat, only her head was left...

Isn't that the head of that woman?
The three-legged child was stuffed into the head... Damn, no wonder the head of this five-legged monster is so big, and there is a collapse, and it keeps screaming in pain.

Damn, no wonder that girl from the beach didn’t tell us where she came from!
It turns out that she was the one who killed the five-legged monster!
Li Miao suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart. He felt that his previous kick was too light and he should have thrown him into the water to let him feel the pain of drowning forever.

But he couldn't care about these things at the moment. After all, it was impossible to go back and make another trip.

"and many more."

"Private desires? What private desires? Is there any benefit for the monsters here to kill intruders?"

Li Miao suddenly realized this.

To this, the ascetic monk quickly gave a reply: "As long as the monsters on Hanging Skull Harbor leave 100 heads here, they can be resurrected and leave Hanging Skull Harbor."

resurrection? !
No wonder these sentient and intelligent monsters in Hanging Skull Harbor want to kill and keep outsiders...

One hundred heads are needed to resurrect one person... This will only lead to more and more monsters in Hanging Skull Harbor. But as long as they are monsters, I'm afraid they can't stand this place, and they can't resist their inner desires...

Hanging Skull Port also takes advantage of the weaknesses of human nature.

Thinking of this, Li Miao suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"What about you? Don't you have any plans to be resurrected?" Li Miao looked at the ascetic monk.

The opponent is very strong and is not a monster without self-awareness. This means that it would be extremely difficult for Li Miao to defeat the opponent with his current strength.

But if you look at it from the perspective of an ascetic, then you have a great deal of confidence.

But the ascetic did not attack him. Instead, he explained everything to him and presented him his head.

In response, the ascetic monk shook his head slightly: "I came here voluntarily, so there is no question of resurrection."

what? !

Is there such a thing as voluntary participation?
This was the third time Li Miao was shocked in such a short period of time.

This ascetic monk always said something shocking every time, leaving Li Miao at a loss as to what to say.

"why?"

Li Miao couldn't help but ask this question. He really couldn't imagine why the ascetic monk would voluntarily come here.

In response to this, the ascetic did not answer immediately, but chuckled.

"Sir, it seems that you have no understanding of the ascetics."

Li Miao nodded hesitantly after hearing this. He indeed had no understanding of ascetic monks, and he didn't know why ascetic monks existed in this world.

"A god once said that all things in the world are bound by the cycle of fire. Some people burn, some are illuminated by fire, and some are willing to be firewood, or endure the cold darkness in places where they are not illuminated..."

The ascetic monk spoke slowly.

"The burning of fire has an end, and the reflection of fire is also limited. Therefore, the cold and pain outside the flames is also limited."

"So, every time someone takes the initiative to bear the coldness and pain of the world, the coldness and pain of the world will be reduced. The more people bear, the less pain people in the world will suffer."

"Therefore, I came here to endure the pain and cultivate myself."

"To absorb the cold is to burn."

The ascetic said calmly.

"..."

Li Miao fell silent.

He felt quite guilty for his previous thoughts.

He thought that this ascetic monk came to him just because he couldn't bear the torture like the woman's head, but he didn't expect that he came with such a noble wish. It was really admirable and shocking...

Regardless of whether this is true or not, he firmly believes that if he endures pain, the suffering in the world will be reduced, and he practices this unswervingly and does not waver in the slightest during the long period of torture.

Just like the shackles and rings that bound his soul, they had no power to bind him, but he put them on voluntarily.

Thinking of this, Li Miao sincerely apologized.

The ascetics do not care about this.

"I can sense that you have the Holy Fire in your heart, and you are not someone who treasures your own fire. If I can help you, that would be what I wish for."

During the conversation with the ascetic.

Li Miao's submarine finally reached the shore and slowly stopped.

After walking out of the submarine, Li Miao found a place to put the head of the five-legged monster, then sat cross-legged in a secluded place and looked at the ascetic beside him.

Although Li Miao admired his beliefs very much, he still had some curious points to ask him.

"Ascetic, I want to know, when you first entered Hanging Skull Harbor, were you as powerful as you are now?"
