Xuan Shu fell to the ground, his eyes closed, still stinging to the bone.

He gritted his teeth and gasped, and in his daziness he heard footsteps gently stepping on broken branches and leaves. The footsteps stopped in front of him, and he struggled to support himself, finally losing consciousness.

When he woke up, the air was cool and the surroundings were silent. His eyes were covered with cloth, and he still had a dull pain that made it difficult to open them. He felt the warmth not far from him, the crackling sound of dead branches burning, and the smell of burnt leaves.

He subconsciously tilted his head to perceive, "You're awake." The familiar voice reached his ears, and he calmed down, turned his head and continued to lie quietly.

"Don't you thank me?" the voice was as soft and indifferent as ever.

Xuanshu immediately smiled, "You saved me again." "The most dangerous thing a soothsayer ever had for a soothsayer to take possession of the place where the moon rested was to be shot and killed.

"You're always careless. The other party was still lightly indifferent.

The conversation between the two stopped, and Xuan Shu said, "Xuan Ce, I saw that the ghost beasts of the moon break are raging, and the long night is coming, you know, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"How's the oracle?"

"To the apostles of God, everything is a void, and only by transcending the Four Noble Truths can one be liberated. ”

Xuanshu sat up, turned sideways in the direction from which the voice came, his eyes covered with cloth, he could not see and did not speak. After a while, he asked, "Father Shang, are you okay?"

"Never got out of the country. A few days before I left the heavens, the holy light of the temple descended, shining day and night, and I guess the realm was high again. ”

Xuan Shu nodded, "Father Shang is an existence that is beyond us, and it is difficult to look up to. ”

"You are his most beloved disciple. ”

Xuanshu smiled, "He loves each and every one of us, and I'm just the first disciple he found. ”

The footsteps approached, and the man came to him, reaching out to untie the cloth covering his eyes.

He squinted his eyes, his eyes tingled, his vision blurred, and after a while, a faint firelight came in, and a vague figure in front of him. He slowly opened his eyes, the figure gradually became clear, and after a while, Xuan Ce's face was like a crown of jade, Xiuyi Zhuoran's face was completely in front of him, he was also wearing a white robe, with a navy blue cloak on his shoulders. They looked at each other and smiled in the clearing under the ancient ginkgo trees.

"Brother, tell me what you see. "Xuan Ce's pupils are dark and deep, but they are cold and ethereal.

Shang Father Xuanhuan, after the former holy envoy retired to Kunlun and took charge of the Divine Sect alone, he successively sought four disciples, Xuan Shu was the longest, and Xuan Ce was the second, and he worked hard to educate and practice, so that they all became the apostles of the new gods.

The four holy envoys, Xuan Shu Xuan Ce had the closest personal relationship, and they often sat together on the top of the snow-covered Kunlun Mountain, where they watched the golden light of the morning sun dyed red in the sky, and overlooked the vast and steep Kunlun ridge to bow down to the believers. They also often debated the scriptures in the Sunshine Hall and the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, where they received the oracles and teachings that guided the princes and the people, and comprehended the vast sea of teachings and Zen teachings of the Divine Religion.

They have also explored hidden treasures in the snowy regions of the Kunlun Mountains together, and have also traveled together in different beautiful places in the nine places. They are like brothers and sisters.

Xuanshu led him to meet Li Yu. He thought it all started with the boy.

"Your medical skills are far superior to ours, help me see him. He said to Xuan Ce. Xuan Ce's body is slender, standing upright, and his body exudes a cold and elegant atmosphere, like a celestial being. They stood side by side not far away, watching Li Yu sitting cross-legged.

The Young Emperor sat cross-legged under a sycamore in the ruins. This is where he and his queen mother used to spend their days and nights. At this moment, his face was gloomy, his eyes were closed, and the breath in his body was running. Obviously, this was not smooth, his brow became tighter and tighter, the solemnity at his eyebrows became thicker, his cheeks turned crimson, and even his breathing became heavy. Then he suddenly opened his eyes, and turned sideways to spit out a large amount of green pulp.

The white-clothed girl Bei Yingling, who had been standing beside him, immediately stepped forward to help and take care of her, and Li Yu slowly recovered after a long time.

Xuanshu Xuan Ce walked in front of him, and at this moment his face was pale, only slightly revealing a little blood.

"Holy Messenger, I really hear the sound of the meridians flowing in this tree. Li Yu said weakly.

Xuan Shu and Xuan Ce glanced at each other and remained silent. "My emperor, this is my brother, I invite him to come and see you. ”

Xuan Ce bowed down slightly, Li Yu nodded in agreement, Xuan Ce squatted down, and reached out to hold Li Yu's wrist.

After a while, Xuan Ce asked with a smile, "How does my emperor feel after practicing the Mind Method?"

"Although it was uncomfortable and the breath was blocked, after each practice, I vomited turbidity, which was always more comfortable. Li Yu looked at Xuan Shu, Xuan Shu nodded at him, and he said, "The dependence on that medicine pool is not so frequent, and now it doesn't matter if it's ten days and a half months." ”

Xuan Ce smiled when he heard this, and said with relief: "My emperor is extremely talented, and it is okay to insist on cultivating." ”

Xuan Shu led Xuan Ce into the abandoned Beigong dungeon. The scorched corpses have been cleared, but the place is still rotten and gloomy.

When Li Yu crawled out of the ground, he temporarily covered the gap with gravel, and was later picked up by Nangong Qingyun, who told Xuanshu about his experience in the dragon mound. Xuanshu then dealt with it, and no one would dig into the secrets of this place.

They burrowed into the gaps in the ground, lit stone lamps, and descended the stairs until they finally came to the huge, long, entrenched keel in the domed dragon mound.

Xuanshu raised his eyes to look at the gray dragon bone and said, "Green dragon keel." Among the dragon mountains, there are also golden dragons. The real dragon is dead, and Lee is dead. The emperor is not the blood of Li, but the illegitimate child of Yu Shu and Nangong. But you see, he has miracles and has an extraordinary sensitivity to ghosts. ”

"It's a pity that he fell for the witch cup, and his cultivation path is difficult, behind this, there is the manipulation of the pagan ghost clan. The ghost clan infiltrates the high-powered overlords of the Nine Lands, just for the chaos and endless fighting. ”

"But Li is not extinct, I saw bright red pupils on the moon break. The ghost clan's plans are not the same, they lead the mountain people to stop and kill the ghosts and beasts, I still don't understand the intention. ”

"The phoenix bird in the south has appeared, but the feather is in danger, the blue wolf in the north is raging, but it has been restrained by ghosts, and the grassland will fall into an abyss from which it is difficult to extricate itself. ”

"And behind the Changfeng Clan, there is a force that almost surpasses you and me. Xuanyuan's wise bloodline is still alive, and they hide in the shadows, bent on revenge. In the past few decades, they have calculated the situation, guided Changfeng to rebel, Gaoyang to restore, and Chidan to cross the ravine of evil bones, and they will cut Li down from the dragon throne, and the current situation in the nine lands is caused by their planning. ”

"That's what I've seen, Xuan Ce. Grievances have accumulated for thousands of years, and the Nine Lands can no longer hold it, and ghosts will once again wreak havoc on this land. This is a battle of kings, a war of people and ghosts, a war of good and evil. The nine lands will be devastated, and the night will be long. Xuan Shu said and looked at Xuan Ce, who had been standing silently beside him.

Xuan Ce's pupils were still dark and deep but cold and ethereal, he smiled and was unmoved, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xuan Shu, "Father Shang's hand, tell you to go back." ”

Xuanshu took the paper and looked down, then raised his head, his eyes were full of surprise and puzzlement, "Does God want to stand by?"

Xuan Ce looked at him calmly, shook his head slightly, and said, "Your cultivation is always inferior to ours. Everything is empty, there is no desire and no worries, you will first extinguish sorrow and joy when you are away from suffering and happiness, and you will never be able to get rid of it. ”

"Okay, let's talk about joy, sorrow, and evil. What is good and what is evil? Mortals are murderous and greedy, and they are right? The gods have repeatedly taught them and are difficult to change, and they have their own ghosts and ghosts to punish them, is it evil?"

Xuan Ce said this, a faint ethereal sound came from the top of the mound, and Xuan Shu raised his head to look, and the painted stone wall above his head had turned into a vast night sky full of stars.

"You must know that the person you call a miracle is actually a dead person, but the soul has been fixed by the witch cup, and his body has been corrupted by the witch cup, and he himself is a ghost. ”

"Whether it's Yushu, Yelu, or Changfeng Nangong, it's just a bunch of mortal kings who are vying for power, and the ghost clan you said, Xuanyuan, who is super intelligent to us, are also meteors in this vast universe, the battle of kings, the battle of humans and ghosts, why do gods want to be in the middle of it?

"You and I will eventually hide in the snowy region of Kunlun Mountain. Father Shang told you and me to practice should follow the oracle, practice freely, realize the Tao and meditate, cross yourself, and see through everything, so that you can become a celestial. ”

Xuan Shu looked at Xuan Ce in surprise at first, and then his gaze also calmed down, he looked at him and was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "The reason why I'm here is that my cultivation is not enough." I feel that all of this is a paradox. God says that everything is empty, so what is the existence and cultivation of you and me? God says that we want to cross ourselves, but if we don't cross the world, how can we cross ourselves? You say that the vast starry sky has natural laws, but without you fighting for me and the stars shifting, why does the universe exist? Xuan Ce, I have to think through all these things before I can go back. ”

The illusion of the top of the mound faded away, and it became a mottled stone wall again.

"Now that your cultivation has been damaged, and it is difficult to open your heavenly eyes, can you make sure that you can think about these things clearly when you are alive?" Xuan Ce said coldly.

Xuanshu smiled and said slowly, "The one who shot me under the moon, is that you?"
