The Death Knell

The nameless disciples are the most ardent followers of Weishan Emperor. They have no ability to cast spells in the conventional sense. They only have a secret technique that can transfer the cost of casting spells. To put it bluntly, it is the consumption that Emperor Weishan has prepared for his spokesmen. Taste.

Starting from about the 12th generation of the Supreme Mage, their group appeared and continues to this day.

Although they all appear to be dressed exactly like monks, wearing coarse cloth robes and without a single hair on their heads, what they practice is not Buddhism, but the "Weishan Emperor Sutra". Su Ming has probably read the content and feels that it is more like It's the Bible.

What Buddhism emphasizes is cultivating the afterlife. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue in this life, you will be able to do whatever you want in the next life.

As for the customized version of the "Weishan Emperor Sutra" that the unknown disciples specialize in, half of the content is to introduce how the former unknown disciples died to share the price for the supreme mage at that time, and half of the content is to record the promotion of these martyrs after their death. A happy life in 'Heaven'.

If you continue to practice hard and strengthen your will on weekdays, and if necessary, sacrifice for the Supreme Mage, you will be at ease after death and transform into a blue bird to accompany the goddess.

The version of the scripture they studied is different from the version of the same name by the bird people. It can be said to be a brainwashing manual.

Well, this book used to be called "Aoshu Tu Jing". Later, after the founding of Emperor Weishan, the goddess changed its name, but also changed the cover. The content of the book still revolved around herself.

Anyway, Su Ming doesn't think there's anything good about becoming a member of Ao Shutu after death, but this is what the monks pursue. Even if he is the supreme mage, he has no right to deny their pursuit of life, let alone dismantle Ao Shutu. The stage.

Because this is often the result of transactions time and time again, and it is absolutely fair.

For example, a certain mage was targeted by a dimensional demon and couldn't repay his debt. So the demon spit on him. Hundreds of his family members became seriously ill and were about to be collectively cursed to death.

At this time, he prayed to Emperor Weishan and traded his unborn child in the hope that his family would regain health.

Ao Shutu felt that the future child of this family might have the potential to become an unknown person, so he would come forward to help smooth things over. But in the future, after the destined child is born, he will send a blue bird to take him away and send the child to this underground place. Come to the temple.

This child was raised by other unknown people and learned the secret techniques of transfer and the Scripture of Weishan Emperor from an early age. In this underground environment where he will never see the light of day, he will soon become the most fanatical believer.

There are many similar situations, such as those who want to borrow power to avenge their whole family, or those who want to borrow power to realize their ideals. The origins of the unknown are almost the same.

But you want to say that Ao Shutu cheated them?

That's really not the case, because if the desperate person prayed to other demons at that time, it is another matter whether he would get a response, let alone this kind of deal with the same benefits?

One person has made a better life for the whole family, so isn't it natural for him to die for the Supreme Mage?

Besides, the Supreme Mage will also die. There are many Supreme Mages who died in battles in the past, and they have not yet been granted the privilege of ascending to heaven.

That's why the bald people's eyes were so fanatical when they entered the door just now. When they looked at Su Ming, they were looking at the person they admired most.

Because they feel that they are very humble, they died for the Supreme Master, that is for the sake of ascension to heaven, for the sake of great freedom, and also out of selfish motives.

The Supreme Master is protecting the earth and mankind without any reward. This is so selfless and noble, and it makes the monks feel ashamed.

Why do they think this way? Because this is what is written in the Weishan Emperor Sutra.

Crossing the square and walking under the side corridor of the hall, you can see that the unknown people have formed a multi-layered concentric circle in the center of the hall. They all sit cross-legged on futons and start chanting sutras under the leadership of the elders. In front of the altar, green smoke is lingering, and the incense here is endless all year round.

On both sides of the main hall, the upper and lower layers display the ancestors who died in the past. These monks who died for the Supreme Master were also moved here after the establishment of Kama Taj. Although their bodies are often incomplete, they have All kinds of mutated deformities, intestinal piercings, and bursting eyes, but everyone is smiling, with the kind of relaxed expression that their wishes have been fulfilled.

There were probably less than a hundred such corpses, and all of them were incorruptible and even glowed with a faint golden light.

They are displayed in the treasure hall so that those who come after you can understand the true meaning of the boundary between life and death.

One thing is that in this palace, which is larger than the White House, there are not many lamps. There is only a small oil lamp in front of each corpse sitting cross-legged. The living people only pray around a candle in the center of the hall, looking at each other. Everything is dark and gloomy, and the atmosphere is strange

Squirrel Girl had never seen such a scene, especially when all these corpses were laughing. She hugged Deathstroke's arm with a little fear:

"The residents in your basement are a little weird. Are they crazy?"

"This is other people's beliefs. Are you discriminating against them?" Su Ming tugged the pointed ears on her head and teased her with a smile. At the same time, he walked quickly under the eyes of corpses. He could feel that These dead people also looked at themselves in admiration.

"No, I don't discriminate against others." Squirrel Girl patted her belly with a grimace, and the little fat under her uniform trembled like a life preserver: "I'm like this, so I'll thank God if I'm not discriminated against by others."

"Haha, don't say that, you are quite cute. When this matter is over, I will send someone to teach you how to do makeup, and I will ensure that you become the most beautiful plump beauty in the school."

After saying this to Squirrel Girl, Su Ming pushed open the back door of the hall. Behind the door was the living area, and Gu Yi was in one of the small buildings.

It was just an ordinary wooden building. She originally had no requirements for material life. Perhaps Hamil had informed her that the death knell was coming, and she was waiting at the door with a smile.

She was still the same, and even seemed a little more energetic. That was because Deathstroke settled all her past creditors and took over the heavy responsibility of the Supreme Mage. She came back from a relaxing trip, so she was in good condition.

"Teacher Yao, there is no need to come out to greet me." Su Ming stepped forward quickly, took the teacher's hand, and stopped her from saluting.

"But after all, you are the Supreme Mage, and I am just an ordinary spell caster." Gu Yi smiled and looked at Franklin and Doreen, and he knew something in his mind: "Are you ready to take action against the Transcendent Gods? I see By the time you have brought a transcendent person with you.”

"We have to wait a while. I have to take care of the Shadow King first, and then I can leave the main dimension with confidence." Su Ming followed Gu Yi into the room. There was only a bed and a table in the room, not even a teapot. He just I was able to take out the drink I had brought with me, tell the teacher about the recent emergence of the Shadow King, and show him the Gnar in the small glass ball.

"I see, threats always exist in places we can't see or think of. This is the life of the Supreme Mage, and it is also the key to protecting the earth and mankind." After hearing this, Gu Yi nodded repeatedly, and she also picked up the orange soda and drank it. He smacked his lips: "But the title Shadow King is a bit unfamiliar to me. I haven't heard of it in the past. So what do you want me to do?"

Deathstroke took out spicy sticks and other items from his pocket. He also took out an emergency lamp, which at least illuminated the dimly lit room:

"I need you to help me contact eternity. I am going to go to the 'Shadow Beyond All Things' and dig out the true form of the Shadow King."
