I founded Tantric Buddhism in London

Sebastian sat alone on the beach.

He watched the orange-red sunset slowly set in the distance, until it fell behind the huge pitch-black reef that was as big as an island in the sea. Then it seemed as if the entire world's light was absorbed and swallowed by that strange-shaped irregular reef.

The already sharp and protruding reef seemed to be transformed into a lighthouse standing on the sea at this moment, but the guiding light emitted by the reef lighthouse was another kind of dark and deep strange light.

Sebastian witnessed with his own eyes that the sea water, which was originally as red as a sea of ​​burning fire, gradually turned into gloomy and dark ink as the setting sun slowly faded away. But when this ink-like black tide hit him, time, it also returns to its clear essence again.

The shadow of this seventeen-year-old boy was gradually getting farther and farther away, until it was completely engulfed by the shadow of the spire-shaped reef spreading from the sea.

Sebastian was sitting in the shadow of the reef, and suddenly felt extremely cold. The rock under his butt seemed to become as cold as ice in an instant. He couldn't help but stood up and looked at the reef in the distance. Like the darkest shadow, muttering to himself:

"It looked like a door to death opened up in the sea to Hades or Helheim or Hades or some such world."

But in fact, he didn't feel any fear at all. He was just thinking at the moment, "It would be great if that rock was really a gateway to other places. I could also swim there and pass through this The Dark Portal travels to other parts of the world and begins my adventure! ”

But Sebastian was just thinking about it. He had been listening to the repeated warnings from his neighbors, housekeeper and grandfather in the town since he was a child. Everyone warned him invariably that he must not get close to the Devil's Reef. ! ! ! That rock is a place where misfortunes are buried. Approaching there will only bring bad luck and death!

Sebastian can't help but wonder, what is on that rock? Does the reef hide a prosperous port? Why don't everyone in the town, including my father, mother and grandfather, not allow me to go near it? !

But he still didn't dare to jump into the sea and swim to the dark rock to verify his inner conjecture - but everyone's warnings were deeply engraved in his heart, like an ancient scar that was difficult to remove.

"Forget it, let's go home first. I haven't finished the things my grandfather asked me to do yet."

The boy picked up the fish trap that he had caught nothing, stepped on the rugged rocks, and left the increasingly cold beach, returning to the town of Ilkesmouth where he was born and raised and had never left.

Sebastian took a fishing rod and an empty fish cage, and crossed the small slope where the rocks were piled up like exposed bones of the earth, passed by the barren and neglected abandoned farmland, and passed through the dense thorns and bushes - here In the dense forest that no one cares about, there are always small piles of stones piled up in crosses scattered here and there. It is unknown what era they were left over. Those smooth stones have been stained with a thick layer of moss, and are filled with the smell of green grass. The sea breeze also smells salty.

In the summer, there will be some fragments like cocoons or pupae shed by insects in the woods - although Sebastian has never seen or heard any traces of insects in this forest, not even seagulls. They don't want to come here to build their nests.

He passed old and dilapidated coastal wooden houses, stepped onto dilapidated stone paths, and entered the once prosperous but now declining town.

There were once thousands of families living in the town of Ilkesmouth, but that was more than a hundred years ago. Today, there are only two to three hundred families left in the town, and the whole town looks particularly empty, cold and lonely— —When Sebastian was a child, he and his playmates would often go into those empty houses and play hide-and-seek games.

These old houses, which have been abandoned for many years, lack vitality and maintenance. The exposed wood has been pitted by termites, and is even moistened by the sea breeze day and night. Whenever someone walks on the street, You can immediately smell a rotten, moldy, and lifeless smell.

But Sebastian has lived in this town for seventeen years, and his nose has become accustomed to this smell. He breathes in the rotten moisture and feels extremely at ease. This is his hometown. the taste of.

He came to the only courtyard in the town that was full of life. Various flowers were planted in the spacious garden, and vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, and lettuce were also planted in the back. Even the lamps hanging in front of the door were filled with flowers. In front of the house, there is a fat lady in a flower apron holding a small flower hoe to loosen the soil.

"Hello, Ms. Susan!" Sebastian shouted through the pink wooden fence: "I'm here to pick up today's vegetables and fruits."

Ms. Susan, who was busy digging through the flower soil, raised her head when she heard this, looked at the handsome young man outside the fence, showed a kind smile, and called enthusiastically: "Little Sebastian, why are you standing outside the door?" ? I'm baking cookies today, why don't you come in and have a cup of hot tea... Caroline also mentioned to me during lunch why I haven't seen you all day, saying that I missed you. "

"Mom! I never said that!!!" A shy roar came from the second floor. A young and beautiful face poked out from the window covered by pink curtains, but when he saw the boy on the street, he immediately changed his mind. Cheng blushed, shrank back shyly, and slammed the window so hard that even the window glass couldn't help but tremble.

Ms. Susan looked at her daughter's shy and embarrassed posture, and suddenly burst into a series of hearty laughter that seemed like a successful prank. Then she picked up the vegetable basket that had been prepared in advance, handed it to Sebastian who was waiting, and told him Said: "Come and sit here more often when you have time. Caroline is also very bored at home."

Sebastian was tightly held by Ms. Susan's strong hands. He could only smile and nod in agreement: "I will, I will definitely do it!"

After getting his promise, Susan was willing to let go of her iron-like palm and replied with satisfaction: "Then it's settled. I'll prepare afternoon tea tomorrow and wait for little Sebastian to come over."

"Yeah, yeah, I will be on time -"

"Sorry to bother you, do you two know where the Cowell Hotel is?"

Before Sebastian could finish his words, he heard a low voice suddenly. He turned around and saw a gentleman with an unfamiliar face who had already come behind him without knowing when. But why didn't he do it at all? Hear any footsteps approaching.

The gentleman who suddenly appeared was lean and slender. He was wearing a heavy but not bulky windbreaker. It was more like the clothes worn in the cool autumn season, which was unable to withstand the severe cold weather in December.

But the other person's complexion looked very normal, and his cold white skin showed a healthy color. It seemed that the moist and cold sea breeze on the coast was just an ordinary autumn breeze to him, not cold at all.

This gentleman stands extremely tall and straight, and his eyes are exceptionally bright, as if there is an extremely sharp sword hidden in his spine. The cold light of the sword is so sharp that it cannot be hidden. Stay and burst out from the depths of the other party's eyes!

And Sebastian's mind suddenly heard a distorted buzzing sound like the wail and scream of a ghost.
