When Wu Xiuluo and Gai Huatian left, Xiao Manxuan curiously asked, "Lin Tian, why did you suddenly decide not to tell them just now?"
"I suddenly rembered sothing Ksitigarbha said before passing out, that the heavenly chanism is unpredictable and revealing it might lead to changes. Maybe Ksitigarbha has his reasons, but I’m really curious, why did Ksitigarbha choose as the fated one?" Lin Tian shook his head, unable to figure out the reason.
These ancient powerful beings have experienced more and see farther, knowing many hidden things. Lin Tian really couldn’t understand Ksitigarbha’s intention. If he could figure out the reason for Ksitigarbha’s reincarnation, maybe the truth would be unveiled.
"I’ll ask him when he wakes up, see if he rembers tonight’s events. At worst, we can use hypnotism. It’s said that hypnotism can awaken a person’s mory." Lin Tian thought for a mont and decided, then left the hall with Xiao Manxuan.
As the two walked out of the hospital building, it was already deep into the night. Lin Tian looked up and noticed the blood moon was still in the sky.
"The lunar eclipse has arrived," Xiao Manxuan checked the ti and exclaid in surprise.
Just as she finished speaking, the last sliver of the silver crescent moon disappeared, turning completely red. A massive blood moon hung in the night sky, very spectacular.
But the next second, Lin Tian wasn’t in the mood for the spectacle, as two beams of red light flashed past, landing on the earth - one at Jinghua University campus and the other shooting towards an unknown direction.
"Why are there two beams?" Lin Tian frowned. Previously, the red light had always been a single beam at a ti, and always landed at Jinghua University, but during the full blood moon, two had appeared.
Just as he was puzzled, a powerful aura swept over, bloodthirsty and violent, like a prehistoric beast. If the Blood Evil at the hospital hadn’t been cleared, it might have erupted at this mont, but Xiao Manxuan beside him felt nothing.
"Lin Tian, what’s wrong?" Xiao Manxuan found Lin Tian’s expression odd, feeling strange.
"Ignore the other beam for now, let’s head to the construction site." Lin Tian decided swiftly, pulling Xiao Manxuan to run towards the school.
The construction site was still sealed off, appearing even quieter at night. The original floodlights were turned off, leaving only dim lamps. The rubble, faint lighting, and the strange aura made the site look eerie, like a dark domain.
A white figure stood on a distant rooftop where the building had been half-demolished, yet the figure stood as steady as Taishan.
"Isn’t that Teacher Xu on the roof admiring the moon?" Xiao Manxuan, with her sharp eyesight, recognized the person on the roof at a glance.
Lin Tian chuckled inwardly. This guy wasn’t admiring the moon; he was actually looking for the entrance to a hidden passage.
"Let’s go over." Lin Tian decided not to hide, and walked over openly with Xiao Manxuan.
"You caused quite a commotion. Is the hospital issue settled?" Xu Feibai didn’t co down but spoke from the rooftop.
"Playing dumb, huh? You made quite a noise yourself. Haven’t found the entrance yet? And have the Zhang Family co to trouble you?" Lin Tian countered.
Xu Feibai jumped down from the rooftop, calmly saying, "They ca and went."
"Why?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow.
Xu Feibai circled twice in the ruined house before answering, "They went after the other beam of light."
Lin Tian imdiately understood. Zhang Heyuan had co to the construction site, but two beams descended during the blood moon’s full moon. He went to investigate the other beam. Could it be that another monster has appeared elsewhere?
The ancients often said the blood moon was ominous, and it indeed seed to be the case. Tonight’s blood moon was anything but peaceful.
"I sense the passage is nearby, but the aura is so erratic that I can’t pinpoint its precise location." Xu Feibai frowned, then looked up at the sky, "Under the influence of the blood moon’s power, tonight is the best opportunity. If we don’t find it before the blood moon disappears, chances will be even slimr."
"Nearby?" Lin Tian glanced around, feeling a sense of familiarity.
Before he said anything, Xiao Manxuan reminded him, "Lin Tian, isn’t the rift below this house’s basent?"
"It really is." Lin Tian also recognized it. Perhaps due to a previous tremor, several places of the house had collapsed, including burying the basent exit.
"The entrance is beneath that pile of rubble behind you." Lin Tian pointed at the pile behind Xu Feibai and said.
Xu Feibai turned to look, flicked his hand, drawing out a Tang Sword, his weapon Flowing Light, infused with the energy of the Demon Blade Muramasa.
Swish, swish, two blade shadows flashed, and a pile of rubble was instantly split apart, as easily as cutting tofu. The Tang Blade Flowing Light could rival the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, so cutting through a few bricks was no challenge.
The door behind had already been deford from being crushed; opening it normally was obviously impossible. With two more blade shadows, the deford door was shattered into pieces. One must say, when Xu Feibai resorts to violence, he rivals Lin Tian.
Xu Feibai led the way inside, with Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan following. After descending a flight of stairs, they reached the basent.
Outside it was night, and the basent was even dimr. Without a flashlight, Xiao Manxuan, despite her good eyesight, couldn’t see in the dark. The little girl clung tightly to Lin Tian, her soft body and faint fragrance stirring his thoughts.
If Xu Feibai weren’t walking in front, Lin Tian figured he might not resist doing sothing he ought to do. However, to prevent the little girl from tripping, Lin Tian turned on the flashlight function on his phone.
The three stopped by the rift, and no insects flew out at this ti. Ksitigarbha’s strike probably purified all the mutant insects here.
Seeing that the crack in the ground was so small that not even a foot could fit, Xu Feibai frowned. Although Yasuo had reported the situation, the crack was even smaller than he expected.
"This place is shrouded by illusion. If it weren’t for the influence of the blood moon, I wouldn’t even sense it." Xu Feibai scanned the basent, visibly surprised.
"Similar to the illusion at the Island Country Shrine?" Lin Tian asked.
"Similar, but compared to the illusion here, the shrine’s illusion is nothing more than a counterfeit version." Xu Feibai scoffed, though if he knew the shrine’s illusion had reappeared, he might not think so.
Lin Tian felt a stir in his heart and activated his super perspective. Under the perspective vision, the rift before them transford entirely, revealing not a re crack, but a large gap easily big enough for a person to jump through.
Moreover, it was no longer an abyss below but a vast underground space!
Last ti, Lin Tian also used super perspective to check, but all he saw was an abyss. Yet tonight, he could see through it clearly, thanks indeed to the blood moon’s assistance. The illusion was evidently disrupted by the power of the blood moon.
Lin Tian waved his hand, and the Heavenly Tribulation Sword materialized in his grip. As he drew the sword, purple flas ignited along its blade, and with a swing, Lin Tian struck the rift.
The entire basent shook, and the rift suddenly emitted a blinding light, so intense that even Lin Tian couldn’t look directly at it. After the strong light faded, Xiao Manxuan astonishingly found that the forrly narrow rift had expanded enough for a person to jump through!
