Chapter 523: Sufferer, Qiu Shui (2)

Not only that, but even in this smelly sewer cell where the environment was dirty and disgusting, the concentration of spiritual qi was more than five times that of the outside world!

This was something that many spirit gathering arrays could not do. However, just because a person was sitting here, the surrounding spiritual qi spontaneously became dense. This was simply ridiculous.

This person’s talent was absolutely unprecedented in Jiang Li’s life.

If he were to step onto the path of cultivation, it would be conservative to say that he could advance by leaps and bounds.

Even if Jiang Li cheated, it was hard to say if he could surpass the other party.

“Thank you for bringing Shanting back to me.”

The youth in the cage sat in the dirty water and bowed to Jiang Li.

As soon as he spoke, the King of Kundu, who had been hiding at the entrance, was shocked. He cried out and crawled away.

After being locked in this sewer cell for ten years, not only was this guy not dead, he could speak clearly and fluently even though no one had ever taught him the language.

In the eyes of ignorant mortals, if this was not a demon, what else could it be?

Therefore, the King of Kundu fled.

However, the problem was that after that guy climbed up, perhaps because he was too afraid or because he was doing it on purpose, he actually closed the trapdoor!

Wasn’t this imprisoning Jiang Li below?

For a mortal to do such a rude thing to Jiang Li, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, he was digging his own grave.

The spiritual fire in Jiang Li’s hand erupted, and he was about to rush out of the cell and burn the king to ashes.

However, at this moment, the youth stopped him again.

“Benefactor, please forgive my father’s rudeness. I, Qiu Shui, am willing to suffer for him.”

There was determination in his weak voice. This youth actually did not have any hatred in his heart. Instead, he was willing to sacrifice his life for such a guy.

Jiang Li paused for a moment and did not persuade the youth further.

He did not argue with the youth about who was right or wrong.

In the cultivation world, right and wrong were never the most important things.

With a thought, the surging flames returned to Jiang Li’s hand.

Next, the bright Liquor Fire Spirit Flame in his palm turned into a pale Ghost Lantern Fire.

Jiang Li reached out and handed the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame to the other party.

“Are you sure about enduring the suffering for him?”

The young man smiled.

“Suffering is my fate. Thank you for your understanding.”

The youth who called himself Qiu Shui did not hesitate at all and actually stretched his right hand into the cold flames.

He really wanted to repay evil with kindness and endure the suffering of the perpetrator.

However, what surprised Jiang Li was not this, but that the other party’s soul was not burned by the flames.

This meant that the other party was not possessed by an expert. If the soul was possessed and reborn through the womb, the soul and body would definitely be unable to completely fuse together. When burned by the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame, a flaw would be revealed.

Only a completely compatible body could protect the soul from the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame.

Since it was not possession, without reincarnation, theoretically speaking, no one should be able to awaken their previous life’s intelligence.

This was because they did not have a previous life in the first place, so how could they awaken?

Unless… he was an extremely rare situation that was often talked about in the cultivation world.

Reincarnation of an Immortal or Buddha?!

Jiang Li himself had been thought to be the reincarnation of an Immortal or Buddha countless times. It was said that such a situation had also appeared in the even wider Azure Cloud Continent’s Central Region.

He was not sure, but the expression in his eyes became more and more serious.

“Qiu Shui, is this the name you gave yourself?”

The youth nodded and began to stroke the soul of the white puppy in his arms.

“You’ve been here for ten years. That suffering shouldn’t be borne by you. Are you willing to leave this place with me?”

When Jiang Li saw such an existence, not to mention the backup clone of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra, he had to pull him back no matter what and feed him a Nine Nether Earth Fruit first.

However, his suggestion to save Qiu Shui was rejected by the other party.

“Benefactor, you’re wrong.”

“Everyone in the world suffers, but no one can escape. The taste of suffering is something that even I can endure.”

“I am not afraid of the pain of the body and mind. I am only willing to stay here and quietly think of a way to save the suffering ones.”

“Thank you for your concern, Benefactor. If there are more people like you in the world, the world will be at peace.”

The youth, Qiu Shui, did not feel upset about his miserable life. The words he said were even more benevolent like an accomplished monk.

He raised his eyes to look at Jiang Li, and he actually seemed to have seen the virtuous spiritual light on Jiang Li’s main body through the Divine Statue clone and actually nodded in approval.

Jiang Li raised his brows. The person sitting in front of him did not look like a youth who had suffered for 10 years.

Just this bearing was enough for him to talk on equal status.

Perhaps, this Qiu Shui was the reincarnation of a Buddha?

Jiang Li controlled himself from having the thought of killing him in advance. He had a feeling that as long as he thought about it, the other party would be able to tell.

However, he still had to take him away.

“Little Brother Qiu Shui is dedicated to saving the suffering. I admire your ambition.”

“However, this prison is empty and the suffering has been resolved. There’s no point in Brother Qiu Shui staying any longer.”

“It just so happens that I know a place with endless cries day and night. It’s as bitter as the abyss of hell. I wonder if Brother Qiu Shui is willing to go there? You can save them from their suffering.”

Buddhist cultivators were different from ordinary cultivators. They needed to cultivate their mental state and maintain the Buddhist Heart.

Once one confirmed their faith, no matter how ridiculous it was, there was often no turning back.

Once he had doubts about his beliefs, it was not impossible for his beliefs to collapse and his cultivation to disappear. He might even die on the spot.

Suffering hardships and saving the world made him look like a masochist and a fool.

However, when the other party suffered while quickly becoming stronger, they would know what great wisdom was. Who was really stupid?

Therefore, Jiang Li did not intend to persuade the other party to change his mind at all. That would not be saving him, but stopping him from achieving the path he strode. They were irreconcilable enemies.

However, against such a person, as long as he followed the other party’s words, the effect would be much better.

Sure enough, when he heard that there was more suffering that he had to face, Qiu Shui’s originally determined expression immediately changed.

“Benefactor, please lead the way. I will not hesitate no matter the difficulty.”

“That’s good!”

Jiang Li waved his hand, and the iron cage that trapped Qiu Shui immediately shattered into pieces. The chains that bound his left leg also easily broke like paper.

Then, a lotus platform appeared beneath the two of them, dragging them through the palace and flying into the distance.

The Gate of Hell rose from the ground. Not only did the sinister aura emitted from it not make Qiu Shui feel fear, but it also made his gaze even more determined.

That place seemed to be more suitable for him.

The two of them entered. The Hidden Rock cultivators and the people of the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn also entered in a single file. Then, the Gate of Hell fell. In just a moment, everyone disappeared from this territory.

At the same time, in a temple 500 kilometers away, an old monk was lying on the ground with his butt raised. He was listening carefully to something with his ear close to the ground.

A moment later, the old monk sat up from the ground. One could see that there was a white dog ear stuck to his ear.

“The people from the Great Mountain Alliance have left.”

“They took away that strange child. Is there any secret about that child?”

The old monk muttered to himself. At the same time, he took off the dog’s ear. A line of blood immediately flowed out from the ear hole. It dripped to the ground and quickly formed a pool of blood.

However, the old monk did not care. He only put the dog ears into a wooden box.

In the wooden box, there was another white dog ear lying quietly.

One of the two dog ears had the word “Shan” on it, and the other had the word “Ting”.

“Good treasure, good treasure. They’ve already left. No one will snatch you away.”

The old monk hid the wooden box and returned to his meditation mat.

Earlier, he had used a dog ear to eavesdrop on the commotion 500 kilometers away and injured his Essence Soul. Not long after, it was already unknown.

However, what he did not know was that a Treasure Hunting Rat had already sneaked into the Eight Paths Temple.
