Chapter 1488 - Seeing Through Life and Death
Listening to Zhao Shuo's words, Xun Qing couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock, with a surprised and moving look, if it was usual, Zhao Shuo would definitely be moved by Xun Qing's moving appearance, but Zhao Shuo's life is now about to be lost, and he has no intention of appreciating beauty.
"What a cruel method, I actually want you to sacrifice the creatures of a world, this ...... This is simply asking you to cut off your future, or even take your own life. ”
With Xun Qing's background, he didn't know what kind of karmic karma he would have to endure to slaughter the creatures of one world, even a Dao Ancestor would not dare to easily slaughter all the creatures in one world.
Zhao Shuo listened to Xun Qing's sigh, and said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "If I could do that, I would have done it a long time ago, but I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, inadvertently, ten thousand years of time have passed, and now I haven't found any way to lift the curse." ”
Thinking of this, Zhao Suo was frustrated in his heart, if he really wanted to slaughter all the living beings in the world, Zhao Shuo would definitely not be able to do such a thing, even if he did, I was afraid that it would not be long before he would be robbed under the influence of endless karma.
That is the karma of slaughtering the world, and you have to bear it alone, this is simply a matter of human life, don't say that Zhao Shuo can't pass the level of his own psychology, even if he can, Zhao Shuo can't do it.
Xun Qing frowned, and muttered softly: "Listen to your words, the person who gave you this mark of life and death is an ancient Dao ancestor, and the other party must have a purpose for asking you to sacrifice, for such a Dao ancestor, even if my ancestor comes in person, I am afraid that I will not be able to think of any way to help you lift that curse in a short period of time." ”
Zhao Shuo naturally knew this, everyone was a Dao Ancestor, and Taiyuan Dao Ancestor was still such an ancient existence, if the curse she gave could be removed so easily, Zhao Shuo had already begged Hongjun Dao Ancestor to help remove the curse, why should he have such a hidden danger on his body.
Xun Qing sighed and said: "Unless there is a Great Sage-level powerhouse, it may be possible to help you lift the curse on your body, but the Great Sage-level powerhouse is too rare, at least there has never been a Great Sage-level powerhouse in our world." ”
Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up slightly, but then dimmed, just like Xun Qing said, that is a powerhouse at the level of the Great Sage, and only one of the countless worlds may appear, and a powerhouse at the level of the Great Sage is extremely rare even in the entire Hongmeng world.
Even throughout the ages, many cultivators only knew the division of the various realms after the saints from the information obtained from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth when they became holy, and only then did they know that the saints were divided into the levels of the Little Saint, the Dao Ancestor, and the Great Sage, and the Dao Ancestor still existed, but the powerhouse like the Great Sage had never even heard of it, let alone looked for a powerhouse at the Great Sage level.
Seeing Zhao Shuo's reaction, Xun Qing said: "Zhao Shuo, you don't have to be too frustrated, as the so-called lane must have a road in front of the mountain, we can find a way."
Zhao Shuo shook his head and said: "What can I think of, even if I am determined to slaughter a world now, I can't do it, I am trapped in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, and I can't even leave the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, where can I go to slaughter a world." ”
What Zhao Shuo said was also true, after all, now that he was trapped in the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, he couldn't even leave, let alone slaughter a world.
Xun Qing sighed slightly, looking at Zhao Shuo's eyes, he couldn't help but show a little regret, for Zhao Shuo, Xun Qing knew Zhao Shuo's name, in the Valley of Forgotten Worries, Zhao Shuo stepped on the body of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, making his name extremely loud.
In Xun Qing's opinion, a cultivation wizard like Zhao Shuo, as long as he doesn't die halfway, can 100% become a Dao Ancestor powerhouse, and such an existence is one of the best even among the sons of Tianjiao.
But such a person who is destined to achieve Dao Ancestor has been viciously cursed, and it seems that Zhao Shuo is afraid that he will not even have ten years left.
In a short period of time, even a nap for a cultivator would be even longer than that.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo stabilized his mood, since everything has happened, it is useless to think about anything now, you can't commit suicide now, Zhao Shuo's psychology is not so fragile.
Now Zhao Shuo's heart is thinking about how to leave this Valley of Forgotten Sorrows, even if there are only a few years left, he wants to return to the Flood World, return to Qi Tianfu, and before he dies, he must see his wife and daughter.
Time has passed a year, in this year, Zhao Shuo's mood is quite calm, Zhao Shuo's calm appearance makes Xun Qing, who has been with Zhao Shuo, amazed, who knows that he is going to die, he can't be so calm at all, but Zhao Shuo just did it.
On this day, Xun Qing suddenly saw that the pagoda that appeared a year ago and the pool under the pagoda suddenly bloomed, and the light flashed away, and two figures flew out of the pagoda and the pool.
These two people were none other than the Sun Venerable couple who were seriously injured and were sent by Zhao Shuo into the two supreme treasures to heal.
The couple came out of the treasure, with a little joy on their faces, strode in front of Zhao Shuo, and said to Zhao Shuo: "Mansion master, we have come out." ”
Zhao Shuo looked at the Sun Venerable and his wife, and found that the injuries on the two of them had completely healed, and nodded slightly: "It's good to recover." ”
Zhao Shuo's spiritual head was not so high, and he had been following Zhao Shuo's side, and it could be said that the Sun Venerable, who knew Zhao Shuo quite well, immediately sensed that something was wrong with Zhao Shuo.
His complexion changed slightly, and Sun Venerable said to Zhao Shuo: "Mansion Master, is there anything to worry about, if you say something, your subordinates will help the Mansion Master solve it even if they fight for their lives." ”
Zhao Shuo waved his hand, shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”
Zhao Shuo, who was dressed in green clothes, walked towards the distance with steps, and the Sun Venerable naturally could see that Zhao Shuo had something on his mind and was about to catch up, but the Taiyin Venerable beside him grabbed the Sun Venerable and shook his head slightly at the Sun Venerable.
The Sun Venerable whispered to the Taiyin Venerable: "Madam, you have also seen it, there must be something in the heart of the Mansion Master, I was about to ask the Mansion Master, why did you hold me." ”
Taiyin Venerable said to Sun Venerable: "I said why are you so stupid, if the mansion master is willing to say it just now, he has already told us, since the mansion master is unwilling to speak, then even if you catch up and ask, the mansion master will not speak." ”
Sun Venerable listened to his beloved wife's words, nodded and said, "Madame is right, but we can't watch the mansion master be so depressed." There must be a way to know why the lord of the house is like this. ”
The Taiyin Venerable nodded, his gaze fell on the body of the Jiuyang Holy Maiden who also looked a little wrong in the distance, and said in his heart: "Husband, you wait, maybe we will soon be able to know why the mansion master is so sullen."
Following his beloved wife's gaze, Sun Venerable naturally saw the figure of the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang, his heart moved, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that you need to go out in person, madam." ”
Taiyin Venerable walked towards the Nine Yang Holy Maiden.
For the Sun Venerable and his wife, although the Nine Yang Holy Maiden is not very familiar, but after all, there is a one-sided relationship, so when I saw the Taiyin Venerable coming over, with the mind and wisdom of the Nine Yang Holy Maiden, how could I not guess the purpose of the Taiyin Venerable's coming.
Venerable Taiyin walked to the side of the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang, glanced at the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang and said, "It seems that the Holy Maiden should be doing well." ”
Jiuyang Holy Maiden said: "Thanks to your rescue, otherwise Xun Qing is afraid that it will be difficult to save his life." ”
Venerable Taiyin smiled when he heard this: "It turned out to be Xun Qing's sister, it was Xun Qing's sister's luck, and she met my lord, with the heart of my lord, it is impossible to see death without help." ”
The Holy Maiden of Jiuyang didn't seem to expect that Venerable Taiyin would praise Zhao Shuo so much, and it could be seen that Zhao Shuo's status in the hearts of the Holy Maiden of Taiyin was quite high.
Glancing at the Taiyin Venerable, the Jiuyang Holy Maiden did not beat around the bush, and said directly: "Taiyin Venerable, I can guess the purpose of your coming, if you want to know something, just ask." ”
Venerable Taiyin's eyes lit up, and it was so easy to talk to a smart person, she didn't even open her mouth, and the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang was so knowledgeable.
Taking a deep breath, Venerable Taiyin said solemnly towards the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang: "Fellow Daoist Xunqing, what I want to ask is about my lord, with our understanding of the lord of the mansion, the lord of the mansion has always been cheerful, we have been by the side of the lord for so long, even if we encounter great danger, the lord of the mansion has never shown a look of embarrassment and frustration, but just now we were surprised to see the tiredness in the eyes of the lord of the mansion, a year ago the lord of the mansion was not like this, Could it be that something happened during the year? ”
The Holy Maiden of Jiuyang glanced at the Taiyin Venerable deeply and said, "Originally, there were some things that I couldn't tell you without Zhao Shuo's consent, but since you asked, I think it's better to let you know." ”
Saying that, the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang told the Taiyin Venerable about the imminent outbreak of the life and death mark on Zhao Shuo's body, and the Taiyin Venerable couldn't help but change his face slightly after listening to the words of the Jiuyang Holy Maiden, and let out an exclamation in his mouth: "What, how can this be." Although the Sun Venerable in the distance did not let go of his divine thoughts out of politeness to eavesdrop on the conversation between the Taiyin Venerable and the Nine Yang Holy Maiden, the reaction of the Taiyin Venerable was really intense, even if he did not let go of the divine thoughts to eavesdrop on the exclamation, which also attracted the attention of the Sun Venerable.
A flash appeared beside the Taiyin Venerable, the Sun Venerable took the Taiyin Venerable's hand, looked at the Taiyin Venerable's somewhat pale face, and said to the Taiyin Venerable with a concerned look on his face: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" ”
Suppressing the Zhenjiang in his heart, the Taiyin Venerable's face finally recovered a little blood, only to hear the Taiyin Venerable say to the Sun Venerable: "Husband, the lord of the mansion is worried about his life, what to do, what to do." ”
It can be seen that the Taiyin Venerable is a little confused, and even his words are a little messy.
The Sun Venerable listened to the Taiyin Venerable's headless words, his heart was shocked and puzzled, suppressed the doubts in his heart, stared at the Taiyin Venerable and said, "Madam, what is going on, you can explain it clearly." ”
At this time, the Taiyin Venerable finally slowly calmed down, sorted out his chaotic thoughts, and then slowly told the Sun Venerable the news he had received from the Nine Yang Holy Maiden.
Sun Venerable listened to Taiyin Venerable's narration, and his reaction was not much better than that of Taiyin Venerable, but he was finally a little mentally prepared, at least he didn't lose his sense of proportion in an instant like Taiyin Venerable.
Looking at the Holy Maiden of Nine Yangs, although Venerable Sun was sure that the Holy Maiden of Nine Yang was not lying, he still stared at the Holy Maiden of Nine Yang and said, "Holy Maiden of Nine Yangs, what you said is true?" ”
The Holy Maiden of Nine Yang looked back at the Sun Venerable without fear and nodded: "There is no lie, if you don't believe it, you can ask Zhao Shuo." ”
Sighing, Sun Venerable said: "There is no need to ask the Mansion Master, I have always wondered in my heart why we were able to come out of that place in the first place, but I didn't expect that it was the Mansion Master who made a deal with that Taiyuan Dao Ancestor."
Taiyin Venerable said: "I have never heard the mansion master mention, ten thousand years of time are about to pass, we must find a way to help the mansion master, we must not watch the mansion master suffer by that curse, if there is something wrong with the mansion master, how can we explain to the ladies at that time." ”
When he heard the Taiyin Venerable mention Zhao Shuo's wives, a strange color flashed in Xun Qing's eyes on the side.
The Sun Venerable almost scratched his head and said, "Think of a way, what can we think of?" ”
It can be seen that whether it is the Sun Venerable or the Taiyin Venerable, they have no way at all for a while, after all, even Zhao Shuo has not come up with a way, let alone them.
But at this time, the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang on the side suddenly spoke: "I may have a way." ”
Suddenly, the Sun Venerable and his wife raised their heads and stared at the Jiuyang Holy Maiden, and that kind of look simply frightened the Jiuyang Holy Maiden.
Venerable Taiyin grabbed the hand of the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang, and said excitedly: "Fellow Daoist Xunqing, you can tell me what the way is, no matter what, even if it costs us our lives, we have to help the mansion master." ”
For the Taiyin Venerable and the two of them to be so loyal to Zhao Shuo, the Nine Yang Holy Maiden was amazed in her heart, after all, it is very rare to have such a loyal person who is as powerful as the Sun Venerable and his wife. Even if it is a Dao Ancestor powerhouse, there may not be such a loyal saint peak powerhouse as a subordinate.
The Holy Maiden of Jiuyang said with a straight face: "Actually, it is very simple to break the curse on Zhao Shuo's body, that is, to directly slaughter the world." ”
Stunned for a moment, the Taiyin Venerable shook his head directly and said: "What kind of idea is this, if this idea works, and the mansion master is willing to do it, he would have slaughtered a world a long time ago, where is the use of waiting until today." ”
Sun Venerable said: "Yes, not to mention the ruthlessness that can't be stopped, even if you really do it, that boundless karma is enough to make a saint fall." ”
The Holy Maiden of Jiuyang smiled slightly and said: "Don't I know what you said, since I dare to bring it up, there is naturally a solution." ”
Seeing the Jiuyang Holy Maiden say this, the two of them couldn't help but look at the Jiuyang Holy Maiden with their eyes, took a deep breath, and Taiyin Venerable said, "Fellow Daoists, please speak." ”
The Nine Yang Holy Maiden whispered for a while, and soon the eyes of the Sun Venerable and his wife gradually revealed a spiritual light, and finally the Sun Venerable clapped his hands violently and said, "Wonderful, it's really wonderful, why didn't I think of such a way." ”
Saying that, the Sun Venerable and his wife saluted the Jiuyang Holy Maiden in unison, and said respectfully: "Fellow Daoist Xunqing, if this time can really solve the crisis of the mansion master, we and the couple must be grateful." ”
The Holy Maiden of Jiuyang smiled and said, "Yes, let's see if my method has any effect first, maybe I really want you to repay me at that time." ”
After being stunned for a moment, Sun Venerable said boldly: "As long as we can save the Mansion Master, even if the Daoist wants our lives at that time, we will not frown." ”
The Holy Maiden of Jiuyang waved her hand and said: "Okay, I'm not interested in asking for your life, no matter what, you also saved my life, if my method is effective, it's just a retribution."
The Sun Venerable and his wife did not listen to the Jiuyang Holy Maiden's entanglement, but chased after Zhao Shuo, watching the two leave, the corner of the Jiuyang Holy Maiden's mouth showed a bright smile, and she muttered: "I hope that method can really help you." ”
Zhao Shuo stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, his heart was calm, I don't know why, when he knew that he only had a few years to live, Zhao Shuo's heart suddenly calmed down.
In this year, Zhao Shuo did the most is to recall the past, from his experience on the earth star to the experience after entering the ancient world, his life can be described as colorful, it is said that he has lived so far If there is no such bizarre experience, he will be like a mortal, life is only a hundred years, it seems that he has taken advantage, even if he really lives immediately, he does not have too many regrets in this life.
It's just that there is still a little bit of loss in my heart, that is, I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to see Xin Lu and the others for the last time, if they know about their fall, I don't know what kind of peace of mind it will be, I am afraid it will be very painful.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Zhao Shuo didn't need to look back to know that it was the Sun Venerable couple who came over, and Zhao Shuo also knew that the two must have learned about their situation from the Holy Maiden of Jiuyang.
Without waiting for the Sun Venerable and his wife to speak, Zhao Shuo turned his back to the two and said, "You all know it, right?" ”
Sun Venerable nodded and said, "Mansion Master, we just learned about the situation of the Mansion Master from the Nine Yang Holy Maiden......"
