Chapter 704: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 76
As the plot gets closer to the end, Ruyi vaguely discovers that the personalities of the characters in the original plot are gradually beginning to change from their interpretations in the movie back to their appearance in the original work.
On the other side, when Ning Caichen just escaped, the Black Mountain Old Demon, the owner of the ghost den, found him. He did not immediately trap the three people there, but deliberately opened the blockade, leaving a way down the mountain for Ning Caichen and the others. When Ning Caichen and the others reached the foot of the mountain and were only one step away from going down the mountain, the Black Mountain Old Demon rolled the three people back.
In this way, Ning Caichen, Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi went down the mountain again and again, came back, and went down the mountain again, and soon they were exhausted and had no strength left.
"Hahahahahaha, this escape drama is so exciting, hahahahaha!"
The Black Mountain Old Demon jokingly allowed the unwilling Ning Caichen to run away with the two sisters Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi. He looked down upon them and watched them every time they were about to run out of the edge of the Black Mountain, but they suddenly returned to the Black Mountain the next second, just like a cat playing with a mouse. He admired Ning Caichen and the others' hope and despair time and time again, because only in this way could he relieve his inner frustration and feel refreshed.
Ruyi and his friends are facing a large army of rotten corpses, so the Black Mountain Old Demon is not paying attention to them for the time being. After Master Baiyun finished teaching the young monk Shifang, he used the last bit of Buddhist Dharma in his body to power the golden Buddha brought by the young monk Shifang. The moment the golden Buddha lit up, all the rotten corpses around that were illuminated by the Buddha's light turned into ashes.
"Master!"
The young monk Shifang was extremely sad when he saw the dead Master Baiyun. In the young monk's heart, Master Baiyun was not only his teacher but also the relative who raised him. He only had this relative.
"Shifang..." Zhiqiu Yiye, Yan Chixia and Ruyi who were present all felt sorry for the passing of Master Baiyun. His rotten corpse had been destroyed by the Golden Buddha, and the Golden Buddha also broke into pieces when Master Baiyun passed away because its Buddha power was exhausted, and could no longer be used.
Time and space were mixed up in the ghost den, and Ruyi and the others had no way of telling where they were. They could only simply cremate the body of Master Baiyun, and put it into a jar along with the golden Buddha fragments, which was then held in the arms of the young monk Shifang.
The Black Mountain Demon didn't know yet that the group of corpses had been destroyed, and his consciousness was all focused on Ning Caichen. Ruyi and the other three took the opportunity to have a good rest and eat something to replenish their strength.
The sky was still pitch black, without even a moon or stars. Ruyi looked at her three silent companions through the dancing light of the campfire, feeling an inexplicable feeling in her heart.
"No, I must have thought too much." Ruyi shook her head and tried to forget the guess in her mind, but the more she wanted herself to forget, the clearer the thoughts in Ruyi's mind became. Her gaze couldn't help but move to the pottery jar on the chest of the young monk Shifang.
"What's in there are the ashes of Master Baiyun. In the original plot, Master Baiyun also died in the battle with the Black Mountain Demon..." If the world consciousness of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" wants to return to the original work, does that mean that all abnormal film forces must be eliminated?
"The tree demon grandma belongs to the abnormal power in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", Pudu Cihang belongs to the abnormal power, and the Black Mountain Old Demon also belongs to the abnormal power, then..."
"Master Baiyun, Little Monk Shifang, are Zhiqiu Yiye and the others considered to be abnormal powers?" Thinking of this, Ruyi's heart suddenly jumped. She tried to convince herself, "I clearly felt that the Heavenly Dao did not want Zhiqiu Yiye to die, and even asked me to protect him. No, I must have overestimated it."
But was Ruyi really overthinking it? Ruyi wasn't sure either. She only knew that this time she faced the Black Mountain Old Demon's true form too quickly and the timing was too unfortunate.
"Senior, what are you thinking about?" Zhiqiu Yiye has always been paying attention to Ruyi. Since the death of Master Baiyun, Zhiqiu Yiye found that Ruyi suddenly became extremely silent, as if he was hiding something in his heart that he couldn't say it.
"Nothing." Ruyi paused and shook her head without saying anything.
Everyone's destiny is in the hands of heaven, just like Ruyi, who was the last soul-calling bird. Due to the rules of heaven in this world, she was destined to never become a god, and could only live in a daze until the day of her death. If she hadn't jumped out of that world, she would never have become what she is now.
So, what would it matter even if he told his guess? Zhiqiu Yiye and the others were born and raised in this world, and were destined to be controlled by the rules of this world. Ruyi did not have the ability to help them escape the shackles of fate, and telling them out would only add to their troubles.
There was darkness ahead, Ruyi could not see the road or the direction, she was like a lonely traveler, walking alone on an unknown road, she could not predict what she would encounter in the future, what would happen in the future. But at this moment, Ruyi's goal was completely clear, she knew that after she left this world, even if she didn't know which world she would enter next, but no matter which world she was in, the only thing she had to do was to find an opportunity to break through.
"Sooner or later, I will completely break free from the shackles of fate and cultivate to become a god!"
The Black Mountain Old Demon had enough fun and directly captured Ning Caichen, Fu Qingfeng and the other two. When Ruyi and the other three had a good rest and regrouped to find the Hall of the Dead on the top of the mountain, they happened to see the Black Mountain Old Demon attacking Ning Caichen.
Ning Caichen was originally regretting that he should not have abandoned Ruyi and the others, but now that he was on the verge of death and saw Ruyi and the others, he felt that he was really lucky. He asked the four people for help with great expectation, but only saw four extremely indifferent faces.
"It seems that they are not going to save you." The Black Mountain Old Demon said sarcastically, and then he directly transformed into a stone palm and smashed Ning Caichen into a pulp with one palm.
"Caichen, no!" Fu Qingfeng watched his beloved die with his own eyes and burst into tears in grief. Fu Yuechi, who was standing by, was trembling with fear at the scene of Ning Caichen's death. The reason why she and Fu Qingfeng were not killed for the time being was because the Black Mountain Old Demon was lustful and wanted to kill them when he got tired of playing with them.
Seeing that Fu Qingfeng looked like he wanted to die for Ning Caichen, the Black Mountain Old Demon suddenly lost interest and slapped Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi again, turning them into a pulp.
The little monk Shifang bowed his head and chanted "Amitabha" for the dead Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, because he felt guilty for not saving them. Yan Chixia and Zhiqiu Yiye also looked a little ugly. Seeing the guilty look on the little monk Shifang's face, they comforted him: "Shifang, this is not your fault. They are too far away. Even if we want to save them, it is too late."
"Old Black Mountain Demon, today we will fight to the death with you, come on!" Yan Chixia drew out the Xuanyuan Sword from behind and flew into the air facing the Palace of Wrongful Death. Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye also flew forward and began to cast spells.
The war was about to break out, and there was no other interference this time. Both sides knew that this battle was bound to end tragically, but no one wanted to retreat. Even the Black Mountain Old Demon, who was so afraid of death that he always used his clones to cause trouble, did not think of using his clone this time.
