Chapter 12: The Three Tribulations
"Ye Xiao has seen his predecessors. Ye Xiao saluted first, and then said: "Although I don't know what my predecessors said, my road is only ahead." If the predecessors can really break the empress's prohibition and evolve the fate of the second half of my life, and deliberately remind Ye Xiao to thank the seniors for their kindness again, but I still say the same thing, my road is ahead. ”
As soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking, he felt murderous opportunities all around, looking at the person in front of him who couldn't see through, a few drops of cold sweat flowed from Ye Xiao's forehead, and he continued: "I really wish I had never seen my predecessors, and I don't know why my predecessors have such a great killing intent towards me. ”
"Choose today, and you will know tomorrow. The person replied, and the cosmic void returned to its original state, and then disappeared without a trace.
"This person is really weird. Seeing this person coming and going in a hurry, not only did he have killing intent towards himself, but also said some inexplicable words, Ye Xiao shook his head and sighed.
At this time, suddenly a phoenix chirped, followed by a hundred birds in unison, and then, the universe was completely red, and even slowly began to ignite flames.
In the flames in the sky, a man in a red robe walked up to Ye Xiao again.
On his robe and hat, there is a red flame in the shape of a "De", a purple flame on the back of the word "Yi", a yellow flame on the chest in the shape of a "Ren", and a white flame on the arm and the word "Shun".
"Twilight?" asked lightly, and without waiting for someone to reply, Ye Xiao directly combined his sword and turned around and ran.
It's a pity that after only a few breaths, the mysterious comer stopped Ye Xiao with one hand.
Looking at the deadly flames around him, Ye Xiao knew that he couldn't escape, so he stood quietly, not moving. But in his heart, he was complaining: "Next time you go out, you must choose a good time, you will meet two old monsters when you walk around, what kind of life!"
"Go down to Feng Jiu Ge again, I don't know why the little brother wants to run away when he sees me?" Seeing that Ye Xiao didn't move, someone took off his long hat, revealing a gentle uncle's face.
Seeing that this person was dressed in phoenix, and hearing that this person was named after phoenix, he recalled his sister Mu Ling's warning again, and said slowly: "I heard that there is an organization called 'Twilight', which is divided into five parts with five-colored phoenixes, and the most powerful is the red phoenix Vermilion Bird, this person is the master of Twilight, my friend told me that if you meet this person, don't think about anything, just run." ”
"Ha, I'm not a flood beast, but your friend is exaggerating. Feng Jiu Ge smiled softly and said slowly: "I want to invite little friends to join us on this trip. ”
"You're much scarier than the beasts of the Flood. Ye Xiao also replied with a smile, and then asked, "If you don't join, what will you do?"
"If you don't want to, I'll let you go, can I still forcibly leave you?" Feng Jiu Ge asked rhetorically.
"Then I'll go. Ye smiled back, took two steps forward, and then said, "Since the senior said that he would not keep me, why don't you block my flames?" Let me leave safely. ”
"Don't worry, I'll let you go after a while. Feng Jiu Ge shook his head and replied, and then said, "Ye Xiao Xiaoyou, do you know what our 'twilight' is?"
Ye Xiao shook his head and said:
"I've only heard from my friends that Twilight is a nascent organization that likes to mess around the most. It is also divided into five parts by the five phoenixes such as the red bird, the green one, the yellow one, the purple one, and the white one...... Other than that, I've gotten along with you cormorants a few times, and I don't know anything else. ”
"Ha, since we have gotten along, I must have understood something. Ye Xiao Xiaoyou, since you know that 'twilight' is taken from the meaning of Nirvana, do you know what Nirvana is?" Feng Jiu Ge laughed and asked.
"Yes. Ye smiled back and said: "Nirvana is the Buddha's language, and it is also the degree of extinction, the cloud is extinguished, non-action, liberation, happiness, and immortality. It is to extinguish afflictions, attain purity, get rid of birth and death, and complete the meaning of death. ”
"It's a pity, I'm a phoenix, not a Buddha! I only attain nirvana, and I'm reborn!" Feng Jiu Ge snorted coldly, and the surrounding flames suddenly stretched for hundreds of millions of miles, and in just a moment, everything in the universe was burned in an instant.
In an instant, the flames increased a few more points, and all the dead things were reborn.
Then, Feng Jiu Ge looked at Ye Xiao and said, "You are the child of destiny, born with the luck of the human universe and enjoy all the blessings, don't you want to do something for this universe that is about to be destroyed?"
"The predecessors have said that the Nirvana of the phoenix is a new life after knowing that after the destruction, the catastrophe of the era of the human world has existed since birth, which is a fixed number and the fate of all living beings. Ye Xiao replied.
In the previous eras, the Dao Ancestor of the Eternal Flood Desolation, the Ancient First Emperor, and the Ancient Empress, the era of the three of them, the catastrophe of the era all spread from the human world to the ten thousand worlds, and in the end, either all living beings were wiped out, or the universe of the ten thousand worlds was facing destruction..... Feng Jiu Ge sighed a few times, and then said sadly:
Dao Ancestor left behind thousands of Dao Treasures and took away reincarnation, and after that, living beings only lived for one lifetime, and there was no reincarnation. At this point, the grievances and hatreds between living beings and living beings will dissipate with death, and this is the first time that the universe of all worlds has been tribulated. ”
"But although living beings can only live for one lifetime, they can live forever when they step into the path of cultivation, and the endless immortal monks are piled up, and the endless geniuses are all piled up, what a great calamity this is. These tribulations, since the ancient flood famine, began to accumulate, after several eras, until the ancient first emperor era, all erupted, if it were not for the first emperor sacrifice Dao fruit, the universe of the ten thousand worlds would have been destroyed, this is the second catastrophe. ”
"After the ancient times, the catastrophe disappeared, the beginning of the wilderness was born, the sons who were alive in the previous era began to preach, and the brilliant medieval era was born, but unfortunately, this era, although a hundred schools of thought were as bright as stars, but no one got the way, even Mo Zhai, who escaped the emperor's sword twice, finally died under the third cut of the empress. ”
"Without the attainment of the Dao, no one will be able to dissolve the calamity. The catastrophe of the two eras has been piled up until the next era. At the beginning of the Hong, the catastrophe permeated the heavens and the earth, and the way of heaven was infected by living beings, and there were selfishness and selfish feelings, so far, the sky is not like the sky, people are not like people, and for a whole era, all living beings have become the chess pieces of the way of heaven. ”
"In ancient times, it has been the sum of four eras. Everything began to repeat the path taken in ancient times. Perhaps it was the mercy of the Great Dao, at the end of the ancient era, in the heaven and earth manipulated by the Heavenly Dao, the empress was finally born. ”
"The empress asked all beings with five knives, asked heaven and earth with five knives, and then beheaded all beings, cut the way of heaven, and took away the way of time and space, so far, there is no way of immortality in heaven and earth, even if it reaches the realm of mythology, it can only live for 10,000 years. ”
Then, the empress turned the knife in her hand into a blade of time and space, wandering between the past and the future, killing one after another monks who vainly tried to live forever, and tried to calculate the fate of heaven and earth and living beings, which was the third catastrophe. ”
