Pawn Crossing the River

The waves crashed against the rocks, breaking into thousands of layers of snow.

Wang Jiaohe and Sun Heyu walked side by side on the seawall, not far away was the vast sea.

Due to the complex terrain and dense reefs, this section of coast has no ship traffic, so there is no dock or port. It is sparsely populated. At this time, at a glance, there are only these two people.

Wang Jiaohe stopped and turned to look at the sea: "I have been looking at this sea for decades, but it has never been as touching as it is today."

Sun Heyu also stopped and said nothing, his white beard trembling slightly.

"Mr. Sun." Wang Jiaohe said softly, "This is the last chance."

Sun Heyu finally said: "So you let Dan Qing go to Lion City just for now."

Wang Jiaohe was silent for a moment and said: "No matter what my final outcome is, he can save his life. Yaozhen and Yaoping can also save their lives."

Sun Heyu said: "Both of us made a miscalculation. We didn't expect that Earth Master and Pei Xuanzhi were so determined. They wanted to put us to death from the beginning, but we were still thinking about how to survive through danger. It depends on that. What you get is what you get. If you get what you want, you get nothing. It is wrong from the beginning, and it is reasonable to end up with nothing. "

Wang Jiaohe put his hands behind his back and felt the salty and humid atmosphere brought by the sea breeze: "It is meaningless to say these things now. There are only two roads in front of us now. One road is to sit back and wait for death. If we do nothing, then It will take Qi Xuansu about one to two months to collect evidence and advance the process. During this period, we can still maintain the last dignity, and then we will be behind bars and become prisoners. Maybe the Taoist sect will look at the many years of In terms of love, he will not kill us, but let us spend the rest of our lives in the Demon Locking Tower."

Sun Heyu's eyebrows trembled.

Whether it is the cave of the Demon Locking Tower or the cave of the Demon Suppressing Well, it is not just as simple as imprisonment, but also a kind of punishment. The cave will absorb the prisoners' true energy, true energy, and mana to maintain the operation of the cave. Over the years, no one has ever been able to successfully ascend from these caves. It is not without reason.

Of course, the bigger gap is the gap. From the emperor who controls the wind and rain to the prisoner who is trampled on the soles of his feet, it is really a fall from the sky to the bottom. Not everyone can accept it, so some people will choose to die.

This death can be self-commitment or a desperate fight.

Wang Jiaohe continued: "The other way is to take the Thirty-six Strategies. The world is so big, there is always a place for it. When Jiang Dazhen was around, it was indeed difficult to walk, but now Jiang Dazhen wants to fight against Chen Shuhua If we take action, not only will Jiang Daren leave Dayu Kingdom, but he will also mobilize most of the power of the Taoist government. This is the last chance I mentioned."

"Of course, this move also has risks. Originally, it would take Qi Xuansu one to two months to complete the final step, but as long as we make a move, he will have a reason to take action directly, which can save the last one or two months. Time. This is like a person suffering from head wind. If he does nothing, he may survive for a while. If he splits his head with an ax, his condition may improve, or he may die suddenly, even with the last breath. Not even two months, it all depends on the choice.”

"Mr. Sun, have you thought about where to go?"

Sun Heyu fell into silence.

In his opinion, neither of these two paths is a good choice.

But I had to make a choice.

Sun Heyu sighed deeply and asked, "Where are you going?"

Wang Jiaohe was silent for a moment and replied: "Go to the west."

Sun Heyu narrowed his eyes: "Western?"

Wang Jiaohe said: "Change the route from the West to the New World."

Sun Heyu sighed softly: "The ants still live in vain."

Wang Jiaohe said: "The Buddhist legend of the Western Regions is that there is a mysterious kingdom hidden in the west of the Western Regions, called 'Shambhala'. This kingdom believes in the Lord Buddha and is a pure land of bliss in the human world. It is said that when the end of the world comes in the future, this is the last place." In fact, you and I both know that these rhetorics are just deceiving fools. The so-called "Shambhala" is a cave in the divine kingdom, and the so-called "lifting all living beings out of suffering" is just an ascension. Just passed away."

"Coincidentally, there is a similar legend in the Holy Court. It is said that one of the twelve apostles established a mysterious country on the east side of the Western Ocean with a fountain of youth. Let us not discuss the truth or falsehood of the legend of the Holy Court. As far as I know, There is also a place like this in the New World. There was a large empire in the New World, but it perished due to civil war and the arrival of the Westerners. However, there was still one city in this ancient empire that was not discovered. It is said that the natives of the New World regarded it as a holy city. It is so magnificent that Westerners call it the 'El Dorado' and the natives call it 'Paititi'."

"If we can find Paititi..."

Sun Heyu raised his eyebrows: "Paititi is just a legend. Westerners have been looking for it for so many years, but they still haven't found it."

Wang Jiaohe said: "Angkor Temple, the largest temple in Borneo, is called the Sangxiang Buddhist Temple by Central Plains Buddhists. It is the largest temple in the entire Borneo, just like a Buddhist city. Although there are stories about Wu in various Buddhist classics There are clear records of the temple, but for a long time it was just a myth, hidden in the caves of Borneo until it was discovered decades ago.”

Sun Heyu did not refute, because when he discovered the Sangxiang Buddha House, he was the real person in charge.

Wang Jiaohe glanced at Sun Heyu's expression and continued: "I got some interesting information through the Goddess Association."

"No wonder you suddenly mentioned Paititi." Sun Heyu suddenly said.

Wang Jiaohe took out a sheepskin scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Sun Heyu: "Although the legend of Paititi has existed since ancient times, it was silent for a long time and was only mentioned again in recent years. This is attributed to Yu Shengting discovered a report from the Goddess Society missionary Andres in the vast archives of the City of Seven Hills. This report was written during the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Wei Dynasty. Andres officially mentioned Paititi. existence. This is a copy of the report.”

Sun Heyu took the parchment and browsed it quickly: "Andres said in the report that a group of New World natives who had converted to the Holy Court brought the goddess statue into the palace of Paititi, triggering the descent of the gods. This Somewhat unbelievable. As far as I know, the belief in ancient gods in the New World has a long history. They believe in an ancient god called Quetzalcoatl. They have endless faith and immortality. I suspect that these ancient gods are still alive in this world. How could the Holy Court allow its hands to reach into their last reservation? In fact, I also suspect that the so-called Quetzalcoatl is a dragon, or some kind of dragon alien. You know, the dragons are favored by God, and they are not restricted by hundreds of years. , can last for hundreds of years.”

Wang Jiaohe said: "This is exactly what I want to say. Even leaving aside Andres' report, there is also information left by the Juan family and others. The possibility of Paititi's existence is really not low. Andres' report only once again confirmed the authenticity of Paititi's existence, and the Goddess Club suspected that Andres, the ancestor of the Peroz family, had actually betrayed the Goddess Club, and he was secretly working with Pai Titi. The last emperor of Titi made some agreements unknown to outsiders. "

Sun Heyu was startled.

Wang Jiaohe continued: "The empire of this new continent has collapsed. The last emperor hid in Paititi with the empire's artifacts."

Sun Heyu asked: "What artifact?"

Wang Jiaohe said: "It is said that the artifacts are related to the ancient god Kukulkan and the ancient god Ixichel. As long as you get them and sacrifice them on the Kukulkan Pyramid in Paititi, you can have the power of the gods. , the sun will also be destroyed, and the whole world will be plunged into darkness. Of course, these are just words to scare ordinary people. The so-called destruction of the sun and the fall of the world into darkness should be just a solar eclipse. The key is to sacrifice at a specific location. Doesn’t it look familiar to you with the power of a god?”

Sun Heyu's face became solemn: "It's the Ascension Platform."

Wang Jiaohe said: "That's right. It is said that the ascension platform in front of the Zixiao Palace can allow people to ascend to immortality, but they must use the 'Three Treasures' to open the ascension platform. From another perspective, the Kukulkan Pyramid is the ascension platform. , Kukulkan and Ixichel’s artifacts are the ‘Three Treasures’, there is no difference in essence between the two, they are both extremely special ascension rituals.”

"The 'Three Treasures of Good Luck' is the token of the Great Master, and the Taoist Sect is in full swing. Naturally, no one dares to come up with the idea of ​​the 'Three Treasures of Good Wishes' and the Ascension Platform. It is extremely difficult to even get to the Zixiao Palace, but Paiti Ti has declined, the former empire fell apart, the ancient gods fell due to civil war, and there was the invasion and destruction of the Holy Court. It is far from being comparable to the Taoist sect. This gives us the opportunity to seize chestnuts from the fire. If we can get the artifact... "

Sun Heyu said: "It will take Xiaju to ascend. But there are two of us."

Wang Jiaohe smiled: "Mr. Sun, who said that the Ascension Platform can only allow one person to ascend? Have you forgotten that Zhang Zu and Xu Zu ascended together with Wu Yang on the Ascension Platform?"

Sun Heyu smiled and said: "That's good. The end of the Dharma is coming, and there is no nostalgia for this world. It would be better to ascend and die, and go to heaven to be free and easy."

The two fell into silence at the same time.

The sun was setting in the west, and the entire sea surface was blood red, extremely gorgeous, and it also dyed the two of them red, and their backs were long.

Wang Jiaohe said slowly: "Then it's settled. We will go to the New World via the Western Ocean to find the legendary Paititi, then find the artifacts of the ancient gods, and finally perform rituals on the Kukulkan Pyramid. ”

Sun Heyu took a deep breath: "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren. If you ascend to enlightenment, you will have great freedom."

Wang Jiaohe said softly: "The premise is that we can leave Borneo safely."
