Chapter 114: The First Appearance of the Blood Phoenix (1)
Lu Bu came out of the tent door, and found that the battle outside had also come to an end at this time, most of the fifty wolf warrior special forces were only slightly injured, and they were collecting the captives at the moment, and a white shadow flashed in the distance from time to time accompanied by a terrible scream, which was the greedy wolf chasing and killing the fleeing Qiang people.
Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, although this time it was said that he was caught off guard by the enemy, but after all, he was facing a number close to ten times his own, and being able to obtain such a record can only show that the combat power of the wolf warrior special forces is very high now, and they can adapt to some difficult environments, such results make Lu Bu quite satisfied, it seems that Liao Hua and Zhou Cang have not worked hard.
In the same way, the weapons and equipment produced by the craftsman battalion are becoming more and more sophisticated, which is one of the main reasons for such brilliant achievements. It seems that there is nothing wrong with smashing a lot of money on the craftsman's camp at the beginning, Lu Bu thought in his heart.
After looking around, Lu Bu realized that he didn't see Ma Chao's figure, Ma Chao's mount is also a rare famous horse, and his strength is more than a step beyond that Beigong Xian, so he shouldn't have come back for so long.
Lu Bu instructed the wolf warrior special forces to collect the prisoners of war, pay attention to protecting Cai Yan, and take the greedy wolf alone to the direction where Ma Chao disappeared to look for it.
It was difficult to find traces in the mountains and forests, but fortunately it was the middle of winter, and the thick snow in the forest pointed the way for Lu Bu, and he followed the marks of the horse's hooves for a distance of about several miles to a small clearing.
There are two people lying on the ground, and there are two war horses, it is Ma Chao and Beigong Xian, Beigong Xian's chest has a big hole, at first sight, you know that it is caused by Ma Chao's Zhanjin tiger head gun, the blood is not flowing, it seems that he has been dead for a long time.
Ma Chao next to him was lying on the ground at the moment, but life and death were uncertain, Lu Bu hurriedly jumped off the horse and stepped forward to check, stretched out his fingers to put on Ma Chao's intercarotid artery, the rhythmic beating was very powerful, and the breathing was smooth, and under careful inspection, there were no obvious wounds on his body.
The scene in front of him was very strange, that Beigong Xian was obviously killed by Ma Chao with one blow, but why Ma Chao and these two war horses were like falling asleep, Lu Bu couldn't understand this.
Suddenly, a low roar came, Lu Bu looked for prestige, only to see the greedy wolf with his back to himself and roaring in one direction as if he was warning in his mouth, his two hind legs were shrunk, and one of his front legs was raised, making a fighting posture, Lu Bu knew that only when the greedy wolf met an opponent who exceeded his own strength too much, it would be like this.
Lu Bu stood up and clenched the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, the space here was small, and riding a war horse was not conducive to playing, he looked intently in the direction of the greedy wolf's vigilance.
The bleak moonlight spread on the earth at this moment, reflecting a miserable white light on the snow, and the dark shadows under the mottled shadows of the trees made the environment even more eerie, and a tall man wearing a heavy cloak slowly walked out of the shadows, his height was also more than nine feet, almost the same as Lu Bu. Under the reflection of the moonlight, it can be vaguely seen that he has a handsome appearance, the long hair on his head is tied casually with a head rope, a few strands of hair hang down, covering the small half of his face, his narrow eyes are slightly narrowed, and the occasional exposed essence exudes a dangerous aura. The armor under the cloak was blood-red, deep and thick.
Lu Bu didn't act rashly, he could feel that the person in front of him was very powerful, but the strange thing was that it gave him a feeling of weakness, which was his instinct as a martial artist.
But at the same time, for the first time, Lu Bu felt a sense of powerlessness when facing someone, no matter what opponent he met in the past, he would move forward indomitable, with a domineering spirit that would give up on others. But this time, in front of this mysterious person, he felt that he couldn't afford to resist.
"Who are you?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice.
The mysterious man slowly opened Weimi's eyes, and the pupils turned out to be a bewitching red, like boiling blood. He smiled wickedly and said, "I am your forerunner, and you are my successor." His voice was hoarse and strange, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.
Lu Bu secretly pierced his palms with his nails, hoping to restore his courage, but he sadly found that it had no effect.
"Little guy, don't waste your efforts, let's talk to the old man." The mysterious man seemed to see Lu Bu's secret movements, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Me? Alasβ" The mysterious man sighed, as if remembering something, and then said like a dream: "The country does not remember the old heroes, and the flowing water is empty." Who I am and why does it matter? Hundreds of years have passed away in the blink of an eye, whether it is fame or profit, it is just a floating cloud. What do you think? Man of Destiny! In the last sentence, there was a sneer that was difficult to hide.
And Lu Bu heard his words, but his heart was shocked, since crossing here, only Zuo Ci and Diao Chan, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Ning and a few other people know the title of the person of destiny, but the mysterious person in front of him suddenly said it, combined with the hundreds of years he said, if another person said this, Lu Bu would only think that he was sighing history, but the person in front of him gave Lu Bu the feeling that he had really experienced hundreds of years, Lu Bu was a little afraid to think about it, the ancients respected ghosts and gods since ancient times, Could it be that there really are ghosts and gods?
As if he knew what Lu Bu was thinking, the mysterious man smiled and continued: "Whether it is a ghost or a god, they are all just people, and people gather the aura of heaven and earth, so they become the primates of all things. By chance, you can become a ......"
Lu Bu bit the tip of his tongue, his sanity regained a little clarity, the strange feeling subsided a lot, and there was a faint golden light on his forehead, but he didn't know it.
Lu Bu interrupted the mysterious man's words and said, "Who are you?" β
The mysterious man laughed again, and said slowly:
"Wandering for thousands of years, my heart and blood have been cold;
Floating slaughter sentient beings, Nirvana into a phoenix.
Shatter the firmament, and I will destroy this filthy heaven; Sweeping the universe, I will reshape this land of chaos;
The sword is in my hand, and my life is up to me;
Thinking of the common people, the blood phoenix nirvana opens a new chapter! β
After a pause, the mysterious man once again showed that evil smile and said, "I am a blood phoenix!" β
"Blood Phoenix?" Lu Bu's eyes shrank, and he saw that the person in front of him was by no means an unknown person, but he searched for all kinds of information about the history of the Three Kingdoms in his mind, and there didn't seem to be such a strange name.
Blood Phoenix smiled again, but this time there were many complicated meanings in his smile, with vicissitudes, loneliness, and bitterness.
Lu Bu was about to speak, but the blood phoenix whispered at this time: "Young man, you must be very confused about what I said before. β
Lu Bu felt that a little strength was slowly appearing in his body now, and he didn't have any ability to resist like Fang Cai, and when he heard that the other party seemed to be about to answer his doubts, this was in Lu Bu's arms, and he was happy to use this time to recover as soon as possible, and said, "I want to hear about it." β
"It's actually quite simple." The Blood Phoenix found a flat stone and sat down, "I'm also a traverser, but I'm a long, long, long time before you. Once upon a time, I was also a man of destiny......" There was a reminiscence in the blood phoenix's eyes, as if he was recalling, he shook his head, but he didn't continue the topic, and instead asked, "What is the destiny?" β
Lu Bu suddenly remembered a sentence that once echoed in his mind, and couldn't help blurting out: "The Tao is the sky, and the heart is life." β
A sneer crossed the corner of the Blood Phoenix's mouth, as if mocking: "Then what is the Tao? β
"Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the law."
"Not bad, not bad. The Tao is nature, and nature is the Tao. Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as dogs, and saints are unkind and use the people as dogs. Between heaven and earth, what is it? β
"You also have some study of the Tao Te Ching?" Lu Buqi said.
"Hahaha......" seemed to hear a very funny joke, and the blood phoenix laughed loudly, and only stopped laughing for a while and said, "How do you understand what Fang just said?" β
This is to say that the Great Dao is nature, and it will not affect everything, and the same is true of the saints, and it will not affect the common people, just like the bellows, although there is a hollow in the middle, but it can produce endless winds. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is exactly like this, although it is empty inside, it is endless and will not be exhausted. After a pause, Lu Bu concluded: "It is what Lao Tzu said about inaction. β
"Rule by inaction, rule by inaction...... Blood Phoenix whispered a few times, and then spoke again: "What is inaction?" β
"Doing nothing is not doing nothing, but it means conforming to the avenue of heaven and earth, not causing branches, not intervening arbitrarily......"
"That's right, the avenue of heaven and earth, the cathode and yang, the prosperity and decline, this is also the avenue. We uphold the mandate of heaven and come to the troubled times, and it is Chengtian who is ordered to help heaven and earth end this chaotic situation and create a new world. The blood phoenix stood up and looked directly at Lu Bu and said.
Lu Bu looked at the blood phoenix, only to feel that there seemed to be some kind of peculiar attraction in the other party's eyes, and unconsciously whispered: "Chengtian is ordered, end the troubled times, and create heaven and earth." β
Seeing Lu Bu's reaction, the evil smile on the corner of the Blood Phoenix's mouth became thicker, and his voice turned low, with a hint of bewitchment: "That's right, how to end the chaos in the troubled times?" Did you say it before, remember what you used to say when you were a teenager? β
"Kill, kill, kill, break, break and then stand, in order to open up a new world......" Lu Bu was like a nightmare, muttering in his mouth, red light gradually appeared in his eyes, and there was a tendency to become more and more prosperous.
The Blood Phoenix watched Lu Bu's performance with satisfaction, and at this moment, suddenly a low roar came from the side, and then a strong wind rushed over.
The blood phoenix turned his head and found that it was the white giant wolf that pounced on him, because he had just walked a few steps towards Lu Bu, the distance between the two wolves was very close at this moment, and it was too late to dodge.
At the moment of emergency, he shook his left hand and directly resisted the attack of the greedy wolf with his flesh palm, and suddenly heard a miserable howl, which was actually bounced out under the blow of the greedy wolf.
