Chapter 316: Su Qin and Reincarnation PaG.o.da (2)
The Vermillion Bird had only just been released from the seal and was still weak, so it remained with Shao Feng to guard Virtuous Heaven Temple. On the other hand, the Azure Dragon had returned to Shen Jingbin's pet s.p.a.ce to give the other three Divine Beasts some 'special training'.
Shen Jingbin's head was filled with question marks. Could pets actually undergo special training while they were in the pet s.p.a.ce? Huh, the more you know.
Reincarnation PaG.o.da was located in the Southern Sea and had a total of seven floors, with each floor representing a different kind of hards.h.i.+p. And, Su Qing just so happened to be the Master of Reincarnation PaG.o.da. He guarded Reincarnation PaG.o.da all year round and never left it. Aside from people whom he was familiar with, there was no chance at all for one to meet with him.
So, when they reached Reincarnation PaG.o.da, Xu Sheng bade them wait outside for a bit while she went in to check which floor Su Qing was currently on.
Reincarnation PaG.o.da had a barrier, rendering most people incapable of entering. However, the four guardians of the Southern Sea had the ability to freely enter each other's domain. Xu Sheng appeared again not long after going in. She stood at the entranced and waved for everyone to come over.
The group walked in as Xu Sheng spoke. "You guys are lucky; Su Qing happens to be on the first and simplest floor today – the suffering of birth. If it were one of the other floors, bringing you to meet him would have been a far more difficult task."
The exterior of Reincarnation PaG.o.da was a worn, dull grey; giving it the appearance of something that had been weathered by the pa.s.sage of time. However, the inside was like a completely different world. Putting aside the other floors which they had no knowledge of, for the time being, the first floor was truly a sight to behold. It was so magnificent that people who hadn't prepared themselves in advance would feel like their eyes were dazzled by the splendor before them.
There was nothing on Reincarnation Pavilion's first floor. All that was present were walls lined with gold that sparkled with its brilliance. Looking at the scene before them, the party felt like all of their flaws were laid bare.
A ring of people could be seen at the center sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed. In spite of that, the expressions they wore had nothing in common with one another. The emotions on their faces ranged from joy, sadness, anger, and grief. On closer inspection, there were even some enchanting women present. On the other hand of the spectrum, there were also horrifyingly ugly women. In fact, they looked even worse than Shen Jingbin. There were others who seemed to be in the pink of health, which was juxtaposed by individuals who had lost their arms or legs.
Xu Sheng walked up and patted the ugliest looking person who'd also lost an arm and a leg. The person's eyelids fluttered open, but there were empty sockets instead of eyes.
It was as if Xu Sheng didn't notice how the person looked, and nonchalantly uttered a few words into his ear. After hearing what she had to say, the person looked over to where Shen Jingbin and company were standing.
The person's empty gaze caused a chill to run down the spines of everyone present. At that moment, all of the girls in the group sucked in a deep breath.
'What the f*ck, what the f*ck!' Shen Jingbin's heart was about to explode. This was unbearable!
Seeing this, Quiet And Steadfast walked in front of her and protectively s.h.i.+elded her. Pure Crane and the Winds Of Ximen did the same for Qi Mu and Gentle Flower.
Su Qing stood with Xu Sheng. He was missing his left leg, but he still stood firm, like someone who was whole. He and Xu Sheng walked abreast with one another and made their way over to the group. At a glance, it was like a real-life version of the story: Beauty and the Beast.
Then, something miraculous happened. When Su Qing took his first step, his body began to undergo a change. His barren head sprouted thick, jet-black locks of beautiful hair. His scar-riddled face turned glossy and fair, while his face itself gradually became more handsome. His short stature began to grow taller, and his missing leg started regrowing.
Several steps later, what was once a horrifying creature had now turned into a tall, handsome man! It was even more amazing than those people you'd see in real life who were able to make themselves look like a completely different person!
