Chapter 8 Enlightenment to Bodhi, Pure Yang Sword Path, Descending to the Big Dipper
Whether he had slept for seven or eight hours, Lu Sheng was awakened by his female classmate's scream.
Someone died.
It's that ungrateful male classmate.
He died silently, with no outward signs of struggle, except for a bruise on his neck with visible bloodstains, as if he had been choked by a vengeful ghost.
The atmosphere inside the bronze coffin became tense once again.
Someone cried out in fear, "A ghost! There's a ghost!"
After going through this ordeal, no one doubted that something was amiss.
However, some people hold other opinions: "If someone has superhuman strength and is relatively close by, it's not impossible for them to quietly strangle someone while everyone is asleep."
It was Liu Yunzhi who spoke. As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to Ye Fan, who was known for his great strength in college.
The people inside the bronze coffin quickly split into two groups.
A group led by Liu Yunzhi, including Li Changqing, suspected Ye Fan of being the murderer. It is worth mentioning that Ye Fan's ex-girlfriend, Li Xiaoman, was also on this list.
One group, including Pang Bo, Zhang Ziling, Liu Yiyi, Lin Jia, Zhou Yi, and Wang Ziwen, all believed in Ye Fan's character.
Ye Fan surveyed the inside of the coffin, taking in everyone's expressions, before speaking slowly and deliberately:
"I did not kill anyone, and I can assure you that the murderer is not any of us."
"You can touch his throat with your own hands; his Adam's apple is shattered. No matter how strong a person is, they could not do that."
He calmly said, "I have read in the miscellaneous records of ancient books that a divine crocodile devours a person, taking the soul and spirit with it, causing the heart to tremble and the spirit to scatter. His death was the same as that of the previous classmate."
Lu Sheng yawned and walked out, then suddenly plunged his sword into the corpse's chest. Amid the gasps of the crowd, the sword went in and out, leaving a small divine crocodile on its tip.
He glanced at Liu Yunzhi and said:
"Fun fact: Don't fight on a plane. If it crashes, no one will be okay."
Liu Yunzhi said calmly, "I'm sorry, I got carried away."
His tone was calm, and he showed no remorse whatsoever.
"It's okay, everyone gets excited sometimes."
puff.
Lu Sheng pierced his shoulder with a sword, and Liu Yunzhi didn't even have time to swipe his dimmed Buddhist artifact to retaliate.
Lu Sheng, in his awakened state, was incredibly fast. After striking and injuring someone with his sword, he quickly retreated, then mimicked the movement, saying:
"I'm sorry, I got agitated. I apologize. Here's half a bottle of Coke for you. I don't know when we'll be safe. This is more precious than gold."
He took out the last sip of his drink from his bag and threw it over. Then he looked around and saw that all his former classmates were holding up Buddhist artifacts and looking at him with great vigilance.
It's not the right time yet.
Thinking to himself, Lu Sheng resumed his carefree, grinning demeanor.
"Why are you all looking at me? I got emotional, I apologized, and I even got some precious cola as compensation. What, Liu Yunzhi can get emotional, but I can't? Double standards, huh?"
Pang Bo laughed and echoed, "That's right, Lu Sheng's brain is always prone to tantrums, what's wrong with him getting excited? Anyone who disagrees can come at him."
He held half a vajra, resembling a guardian deity, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Ye Fan's lips curled up slightly; he still maintained a certain level of composure and his composure.
Having witnessed Lu Sheng's speed, and with Pang Bo, Ye Fan, Zhang Ziling, and others surrounding him, Liu Yunzhi, though unwilling, could only clutch his wound and retreat to a corner.
They were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, divine relics, or human strength.
In this confined space, conflict would be entirely advantageous; the only option is to endure.
The cunning Liu Yunzhi's eyes were filled with resentment; he would definitely take revenge as soon as he found an opportunity.
Little did Lu Sheng know that he had the same idea, muttering to himself that once they reached the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, most of the Buddhist artifacts would be destroyed, and he would kill them all with a single sword strike.
Not only Liu Yunzhi, but also Li Changqing and Wang Yan from his gang will not escape.
Just kidding, a bunch of obviously malicious guys are keeping you alive to feast.
The Martian defense battle is over; next up is the chaotic battle in the ancient forbidden land.
At that moment, Ye Fan suddenly touched the coffin wall and froze, seemingly caught in a strange state.
Lu Sheng recalled for a moment, and thought, "Well, I think I probably, maybe, or perhaps, I think I've come to some kind of realization."
Legend has it that Bodhi seeds have the power to enlighten people's wisdom.
As Ye Fan entered a state of deep concentration, a strange sound came from inside the bronze coffin. The divine essence of everyone's Buddhist artifacts was extracted and poured into the coffin, revealing a route that led directly to the Big Dipper.
After this, everyone was back on roughly the same starting line. Lu Sheng's peach wood sword was also struck hard, but he didn't care, as he had expected it.
A starting line is great; it makes it easier for him to crush a few people.
Soon, a star chart of the Big Dipper appeared on the wall, and Ye Fan also emerged from that mystical state. A message of several hundred words, whose meaning was indescribable, was engraved in his heart.
Lu Sheng leaned closer and asked, "What kind of great supernatural power have you mastered? Can you conjure up a steak for me?"
Ye Fan shook his head, then quietly handed over the Bodhi seed and whispered, "Try it."
"I don't think it'll be of much use."
Despite saying that, Lu Sheng still took it from his hand, thinking it was a waste not to touch it.
The divine sound was like a bell, and he too was drawn into a wondrous state. The Bodhi seed was indeed miraculous; he wondered if he could escape unscathed...
However, unlike Ye Fan, besides the mysterious text of several hundred characters, Lu Sheng's sword, Lu Zu's sword, also emitted a soft hum when its radiance was absorbed by the bronze coffin.
A small, shimmering sword entered Lu Sheng's world of visualization.
He seemed to see a sword immortal gracefully riding the wind...
After a long while, a loud boom came from outside. Just like when it landed on Mars, the Nine Dragons Coffin crashed into the new world once again.
Lu Sheng exited his special state and whispered to Ye Fan beside him:
"I think I've learned a bit of the Pure Yang Sword Dao. Give me an IOU, and ten Holy Maidens will teach you to become a sword immortal."
He twirled his sword, making it several times more agile than before.
Ye Fan was surprised, but immediately agreed in a low voice, adding, "I'll offer eleven!"
Lu Sheng: "It's a deal! One hundred!"
Investing in Ye Tiandi is a sure way to make money!
Ye Fan:.......
The coffin lid was smashed open, and everyone rushed out excitedly when they saw the sunlight.
And this time, their excitement was not disappointed. Sunshine, forests, blue skies, and white clouds created a world full of vitality!
Some shouted, some wept; they survived!
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
As everyone was excited, the Nine Dragons Coffin suddenly slid. It turned out that the place where it fell was right at the edge of the cliff. In just a few seconds, the bronze coffin, along with the dragon corpse, fell into the abyss.
Those who narrowly escaped were still shaken by what they saw, but their fear quickly turned to joy at their newfound life.
The group of people separated and, after being cooped up in the ancient coffin for a long time, were finally able to release their pent-up emotions.
Lu Sheng, Ye Fan, and Pang Bo were inseparable, and they quickly found the branch of the Nine Wonders Elixir of Immortality through roundabout means.
