Back to the Future Sword of Sichen

Chapter 66 [Travel to Moruponka] Distress in the Grotto

Matilda and Kanjila arrived at the entrance of the North Cave, which was also filled with mist. The only light was projected from the entrance at the top of the cave.

There is no one in the cave, which is normal. After all, the place is not open yet. The monks in the temple are currently entertaining tourists and have no time to patrol here.

"It's nice that there's no one around. But I suggest you proceed with caution. After all, if you dig, there will be a lot of noise. Well... if you insist on digging and destroying... just don't have anything to do with me."

Matilda didn't hear Kanjila's words. She was staring ahead. There was a dim light in the hazy mist. She seemed to see a mural. When she looked back, the girl next to her was still talking in detail. The words are really like a nagging old woman.

"Treasure? What are you talking about? You didn't misunderstand anything, right?" Matilda felt strange, "But you still brought me here. Anyway, thank you."

After that, she walked towards the depths of the cave. Kanjila watched Matilda's figure submerged in the darkness not far away. She pursed her lips and said, "If you don't want to tell me the location of the treasure, just say so. I'm not that kind of person either."

She felt in her skirt pocket and found a total of two hundred rupees, which was enough for her to live for a while. Kanjilaquan regarded this as hush money. She would not tell anyone about Matilda going deep into the cave to find the treasure. She would just treat it as rotten in her stomach.

Passing through layers of fog, the light gradually became brighter and brighter, and finally the fog dissipated, revealing a mural.

"Is this the "Head of Viinda"?" Matilda opened the notebook she carried with her, which was filled with information on her investigation of mysterious celestial bodies.

The mural in front of her seemed to be related to that myth. Matilda quickly flipped through the thick notebook and quickly found the information she needed.

In the mural, there is a "man" sitting on a lotus throne. He has eight arms. Two of his arms are at the same level as his chest in a gesture of joining hands. Six arms grow out of his back. Each of the six palms holds different items, probably. Over time, the mural has long been blurred, and it is difficult to see what He is holding in his hand.

In addition, He also wears a crown on his head, with a vertical eye in front of his forehead, and an angry expression. There is a halo of three flames floating behind Him.

Matilda found information about Him: "At the beginning of the comet's birth, there was a stone growing north of the head of Vaindra... The son of the stone had feet everywhere, eyes everywhere, and the appearance of an asura. The shelter of the Son of Man has collapsed..."

Matilda thought to herself that this might be the origin of some mysterious animal. She was trying to translate this sentence, and Matilda speculated that the "head of the comet" refers to the best time to practice celestial energy, and the best time to practice is to wait for the moment when the meteor falls.

"Then the coma came to the earth, and the Son of Man sank into the realm of vanity, fell because of lust... and could not return because of delusion."

The general meaning of the whole sentence is: "The head of the comet" is probably a meteor, the "head of Viinda" should be a certain place or a god, and the "Son of Stone" was born with many eyes and feet, and had a Asura's appearance, it is said that Asura has nine heads and a thousand eyes; it is also said that Asura has a thousand heads and two thousand hands.

That "god" (probably?) who was similar to "Asura" destroyed the place where the "Son of Man" relied due to his huge size (it is said that some Asuras' bodies can be compared with Mount Sumeru, and can even cross Mount Sumeru). Cause the comet to come and bring some kind of disaster or difficulty.

And the "sons of man" (probably referring to humans or their descendants) fell into delusion (delusion, delusion) because of this disaster or difficulty, fell due to desire, and were unable to look back because they were obsessed with delusion.

This is also the reason why people have seven emotions and six desires, right? In some practices, it is necessary to cut off these thoughts in order to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal.

"Then the coma comes to the earth, and the Son of Man sinks into the realm of illusion. He falls due to desire... and cannot return due to delusion." Matilda thought about the meaning of this sentence. It seems that if she wants to practice, she still needs to meditate first. It takes practice - It is said that meditation is a very important spiritual practice in the South and is regarded as one of the ways to spirituality or enlightenment.

Matilda's eyes moved to another pattern. This pattern was a circle with complex patterns.

"Everything ends with the tail of a comet, all..."

Suddenly, there was an echo from behind, like the sound of a stone falling into an empty well. Matilda turned back sharply, the voice disappeared, and there was only endless darkness behind her.

Did I hear it wrong? Matilda thought, there was another "boom", Matilda was startled, this time she heard correctly, she saw a statue with an angry look and eight arms. The surrounding stone walls are full of statues of this type. Some have their hands clasped together, making a compassionate Buddha image, and some are sitting cross-legged, closing their eyes and meditating. As for the statue in front of me, is its posture originally like this?

While Matilda was thinking, all the statues moved. They got out of the stone wall, broke through the cage that bound themselves, and approached Matilda.

"Yeah!" Matilda screamed. Those statues were not hawkers in the train station, trying to recommend products to her. Matilda is like an intruder, breaking into their world.

Demonic pestles, long sticks, long knives, and various weapons flew out of the hands of the statues and flew towards Matilda's position.

Matilda ran away, but the ground under her feet was like a recycled carpet. No matter how hard Matilda ran, it seemed to others that she was running in place.

It was too late to dodge, Matilda turned around and took out the crystal ball. The crystal ball burst out with dazzling light, forcing the flying weapons back.

The ground shook violently, and the surrounding stone walls began to collapse. Countless gravels flew and dust filled the air. Matilda's calves were trembling, her breathing was rapid, and her body was completely unable to move. She gritted her teeth, and with amazing willpower, she opened her legs again and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

"Almost there...almost there...uh! Damn it!" Matilda gasped, covering the wound on her waist with one hand. She looked back and saw that those statues were like weeds in the wasteland. Even if they were burned out, they could still spread throughout the wasteland with their tenacious vitality.

"Why are there so many statues..." Matilda could hardly feel the existence of her legs. She kept running and running. But the bright hole seemed to be playing hide and seek with her, hidden in the darkness.

The statues gathered around, and Matilda took a step back. Her legs were covered with small wounds, and blood was pouring out.

Matilda's hands were also stained with blood. She took out the crystal ball, but her blood-stained fingertips made a harsh friction sound on the surface of the crystal ball, and then the crystal ball rolled out of her hands and fell to the ground.

At this time, a statue had raised its hand, and the umbrella in its hand struck Matilda.

"No, no!" Matilda closed her eyes and screamed miserably. In the darkness, she seemed to see her deceased grandfather.

A gust of wind blew, and a dull cracking sound came to my ears. Then a gentle female voice said: "Little astrologer, don't be afraid."
