Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 339: Earth Vein Transmission
As Xiao Ran silently chanted, a red flame suddenly burst out from the bronze sword flying in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the sword body seemed to explode, and countless red fire snakes poured out from the sword body.

"This is……"

Huang Chao's pupils narrowed, and a strong sense of crisis burst out in his heart. He grabbed a woman with one hand to block in front of him, and at the same time, with the other hand, he swung the sword and cut out an arc-shaped crescent moon in the void.

“Boom! Rumble, rumble, rumble…!”

The ground was shaking, and everyone felt their faces getting very hot. A ball of blazing fire directly engulfed the area within a ten-meter radius.

The huge shock wave made everyone unstable. Fortunately, Drunken King Kong had already caught Gao Yuting steadily and used his broad and thick back to block Gao Yuting.

The flames lasted for more than ten seconds, causing the surrounding void to distort.

Even though the power of this sword cannot compare to that of Frost Concubine, which is so powerful, it is enough to be comparable to the full-strength attack of a Tongxuan master.

"Whoosh!!"

Without waiting for the flames to dissipate, the red bronze sword made a simple spin in the air and quickly landed beside Xiao Ran.

"Dare to touch my wife? I'll blow you to death, you bastard." Xiao Ran took a look at the fire in front of him, cursed in his heart, then put away the [Head-Beheading Sword] and quickly escaped into the ground.

The power of this explosion was several times greater than the spiritual pressure blast used in the prison last time.

They are even completely incomparable.

The spiritual explosion technique of Lingyun level LV5 is called [Spiritual Flame Explosion].

Single consumption: 20000 points of spiritual energy.

But even so, after Xiao Ran succeeded in his attack, he did not dare to use the sword again. Instead, he retracted the [Head-Beheading Sword] and chose to retreat quickly.

Others could not see it, but Xiao Ran could clearly see that in the center of the fire column, a dim yellow shadow was becoming more and more solid.

This gave Xiao Ran a huge sense of crisis.

Sure enough, when Xiao Ran's figure had quickly distanced himself through earth escape, he suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand up.

"Discovered!"

He could even clearly feel a pair of eyes penetrating the soil and locking onto him.

The intense feeling of oppression was second only to the evil dragon he encountered in the underworld.

"Is it the Locust God?"

Xiao Ran was shocked and immediately accelerated as fast as he could to dive deeper underground.

Immediately afterwards, a muffled rumble suddenly came from the ground.

"boom!!"

The sound is not loud, and there is not even any impact.

Whether inside or outside the city walls, even the people in the city could clearly feel that the entire earth seemed to tilt in an instant.

Everyone's body shook, and it felt like a wave rising out of nowhere.

This huge force penetrated the earth and pointed directly in the direction of Xiao Ran. The surrounding soil seemed to be wrapped up by an invisible force and quickly compacted, followed by a series of explosions.

Xiao Ran knew that these exploding sounds were caused by rocks being squeezed and bursting.

Now Xiao Ran didn't dare to be negligent at all. It was too late to rush up now. The only chance to survive was to rush down.

300 meters...

500 meters...

700 meters...

As the distance got deeper, Xiao Ran discovered that the strength of the [Spiritual Clothes] was also decreasing rapidly.

The pressure around him was getting stronger and stronger, giving him a splitting headache.

But the most terrifying thing is not the pressure, but the sound.

Yes, there are sounds underground.

It was a strange whisper that could not be described in words. You couldn't hear it clearly and didn't understand what it was.

But it always lingers in your ears, like countless flies buzzing around your ears.

It would have been fine if it had only lasted a short time, but at this moment Xiao Ran was already starting to get mentally frustrated by the sound.

In particular, there was a sharp scream from time to time, which was more like the sound of someone tearing tempered glass with a sharp knife, and it was even more like the pain of tearing the soul.

But he didn't dare to stop. The force behind him that could crush everything was getting closer and closer. He didn't dare to imagine whether he would be crushed to pieces in an instant if he was caught in it.

Up to 1000 meters underground.

Under the huge pressure, Xiao Ran's consciousness gradually began to blur, and he unconsciously recited the "Great Freedom Mara Prajna Sutra" on the "Bliss Robe".

"Thus have I heard, seeing the nature is empty, neither attachment nor delusion, neither evil nor good, neither demon nor Buddha, the true nature of the clear vision will not fall into hell, nor be stained by the kalpa of emptiness, Namo Amitabha, Paramita..."

Along with the sound of chanting, the many distracting thoughts in Xiao Ran's ears began to be stripped away, and his inner consciousness gradually became spiritual.

Those chaotic and noisy sounds seemed to be smoothed out by a pair of big hands like unraveling silk threads.

Gradually, Xiao Ran seemed to understand what these voices were saying.

That was the sound of flowing water, the rumble of groundwater hitting the rock wall.

That was the sound of the mountain moving slowly. Although it was very small, it was constantly amplified underground.

The roots of the trees broke through the soil, the waterfalls crashed and smashed the rocks, and deep into the caves a thousand meters below, there were sounds of some unknown fish and shrimps swimming in the water.

The subtle sounds of earthworms, mice, snakes, and even rabbits and pangolins are absorbed by the earth. Some may be nearby, while others may be far away.

But they gather together thousands of meters below, forming a unique sound in the earth veins, and continue to flow along the earth veins.

After these voices were sorted out, Xiao Ran felt peaceful and calm inside. After descending 200 meters unknowingly, the huge feeling of oppression behind him finally dissipated.

Even the power of the gods, when it reaches a thousand meters below, seems to be disturbed by these sounds and gradually torn apart. However, Xiao Ran's situation is not optimistic.

The strength value of [Spiritual Clothes] has dropped to just two digits, and even if he doesn't move at this moment, the strength is still slowly decreasing.

"Do you want to go up?"

Xiao Ran frowned. He could feel that there was still a huge force raging violently a thousand meters above.

In his heart, he could not help but sneer: "If you can't afford to play, then play with it. What locust god, nothing more than that."

Time passed by, and the intensity value began to approach the red line.

It’s like when you go out without any cash and find that your phone only has one bar of battery left.

Although Xiao Ran was anxious, he did not dare to go up rashly. He could only recite the "Mahayana Maraprajna Sutra" to drive away his inner anxiety.

As the scriptures were chanted, time gradually seemed less important.

The sound of the sutra spread across the earth to who knows where.

Suddenly Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows slightly. Among the countless sounds in his ears, there was also the sound of chanting.

At first Xiao Ran didn't pay much attention and thought it was his own voice echoing.

But soon Xiao Ran discovered that the source of the voice was very far away, and the scriptures recited were completely different from his own.

"When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajna Paramita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and was able to transcend all suffering. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form, form is emptiness..."

The sound of the chanting was far louder than his own, but it was wrapped in waves of peaceful air, which gradually relaxed Xiao Ran.

Before Xiao Ran could comprehend it carefully, he heard another sound of chanting coming from far away.

This passage is not in Chinese, it is entirely in Sanskrit.

Although Xiao Ran could not understand the language, he could feel the main meaning of the scriptures.

"Seeing the Buddha's physical body, this physical body is like an illusion, like a dream, like flames, like a spinning wheel of fire, like the city of Gandharvas, like the sound of a shout..."

At this time, a passage of scripture was heard.

All of a sudden, a mirror appeared in Xiao Ran's consciousness.

He looked into the mirror and actually saw Gao Yuting in it.

She slowly lowered her head seductively, her jade-like neck trembling slightly, and her eyes looked at Xiao Ran with burning passion.

The slender fingers gently hooked the corners of her mouth, and she smiled slightly, revealing a charming curve.

She twisted her slender waist and swayed her hips gracefully like a snake.

The slightly raised blush outlined the charming curve of her face, which made Xiao Ran's blood boil.

If Xiao Ran hadn't been reciting the [Great Freedom Mara Prajna Sutra] silently in his heart to calm his mind, he would have drooled and shouted:
ヽ(★ω★)ノ: "Yes, come on, this is what I want."

But before Xiao Ran could get excited, Gao Yuting in the mirror began to age rapidly.

In almost an instant, she had turned into an old lady, with loose skin all over her body and a face full of wrinkles.

This time Xiao Ran didn't frown, and before he could take a closer look, the old body began to decay again, and this time the flesh began to rot, revealing a disgusting scene.

only……

Xiao Ran, on the contrary, felt extremely relaxed.

Death was a very common thing to him. He had seen many dead fish, rotten fish and frozen fish, so he did not feel sick about it.

Until the beauty turned into white bones, Xiao Ran probably understood the meaning of this passage.

"So this is ah."

Xiao Ran's heart moved slightly and he faced the mirror again.

Gao Yuting's graceful figure reappeared in the mirror. Xiao Ran grinned and admired her carefully, not hiding the desire in his eyes at all.

Just as it is said in the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra, one’s true nature can be seen and the mind can be clear.

What's the point of being lustful but not lewd? That's pure nonsense. You are not a Buddha or a sage. There is no greater happiness in life than this.

How can I be lustful but not lewd? I am not a eunuch.

Xiao Ran's consciousness gradually separated a wisp of thought and invested it in the mirror. Just as he thought, he was happily enjoying the love and sexual intercourse with the beauty in the mirror.

Just as Gao Yuting in the mirror began to age and reveal her ugly appearance, Xiao Ran's mind moved slightly, and the consciousness that had merged into the mirror also slowly aged.

The two old people supported each other. Although they no longer had the passion and desire they once had, they still stayed with each other and looked at each other, never leaving each other.

Just wait until the flesh decays and turns into a pile of bones.

The thought that Xiao Ran put into the mirror was to reach out and pull, heading towards the dark end and then to the underworld. Two figures walked out of the mirror closely.

"Kaa!" There was a loud explosion.

As the two figures stepped out of the bronze mirror, countless cracks suddenly appeared on the mirror.

Xiao Ran's consciousness returned to his sea of consciousness, and the wisp of consciousness that was brought out turned into a crystal clear gem and also fell into Xiao Ran's sea of consciousness.

In an instant, golden light flashed on the gem like a river in the sky and merged into Xiao Ran's consciousness.

That was pure mental power, flawless and without any distractions.

After it integrated into his mind, Xiao Ran suddenly felt his mental power surge.

A moment later when Xiao Ran opened his eyes again, his pupils were wide open, and his consciousness was able to illuminate everything within a hundred meters around him in the dark earth into his sea of consciousness.

At the same time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the strength of my [Spiritual Clothes] had actually increased significantly.

"Hint! You have mastered the White Bone Contemplation, one of the Six Wonderful Methods of the Tiantai Sect. Spirit +15..."
