Chapter 114: Longxing Fengyang
Wen Zhuo walked to the window and glanced at it, then turned around and asked me sure I wanted to go alone? I nodded quietly after drinking the cup, Wen Zhuo took Xiao Lianshan away, I sat silently in the room for a while, turned around and pushed the door, and next to the stone bench in the courtyard was an old man full of alcohol.
The real old man, Chi Twilight and Old Man were written on his face, his right chest was wrapped in a white bandage, and the spots were red, and he held a pot of wine in his hand, and his eyes were a little cloudy and gray, the only thing I could still vaguely recognize was his straight back like a sharp sword piercing the sky.
I sat across from him, Wei Yong was dead, Qin was gone, and now I may be the only one who can help him, but I believe that he is not the kind of person who will ask for help, even if he has a hundred reasons not to come to see me, but there is one reason why he must come here.
Gu Xiaotian's life must be continued by a person who can decide the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon, and now, it seems that the only person who can do this is me.
After losing Wei Yong's mana to renew his life, Gu Xiaotian quickly grew old, his shriveled skin was attached to his bones, and there was not the slightest flesh color in the middle, it was hard to imagine that the person sitting opposite me had ever pulled out the mountain and conquered the world.
"I can help you stay alive." I spoke calmly first.
"You want the Quartet Barrier on me?" Gu Xiaotian raised his head and took a sip of wine, still asking proudly.
I shook my head, took a deep breath, and suddenly became melancholy.
"I'm different from Wei Yong, many people say that sooner or later I will become another person, if there is really that day, you can be regarded as one of my few old friends, stay by your side and talk about maybe there is someone who can understand."
"I'm tired, I've waited enough, I came to see you, I didn't want you to give me another life." Gu Xiaotian stretched out his hand and handed me the wine jug, without his innate domineering, it was a vicissitudes that only time could precipitate. "You're going to the Netherworld to save Yue Qianling, take me with you."
My hand hovers in mid-air, if I am a hero, the person opposite me can be regarded as an old enemy, but now my heart is full of regret and regret.
"I have the destiny of eternity, I can't die if I want to, Wen Zhuo has the position of a god, and it is not difficult to travel through the two worlds of yin and yang, Xiao Lianshan has the dragon horn in hand, and he can summon the yin general, what about you...... What do you have, you have a Quartet Enchantment, all the Xuanmen Dao methods can't hurt you, but your soul is gone, you are already a person in the Netherworld, Wei Yong helps you continue your life against the sky, if you enter the Netherworld......"
"I know that I will never be able to return to the Yang World." Gu Xiaotian interrupted me very calmly.
"Now that you know you're going?"
"Wei Yong said that Yu Ji's self-killing person cannot be reincarnated, and will be trapped in the netherworld forever and tortured for eternity, and Yu Gou can't live for a thousand years to save her from the sea of suffering." Gu Xiaotian's eyes became guilty and depressed. "Now I know that I don't have this opportunity......
When Gu Xiaotian said this, I saw him lift a bottle of something from the side, slowly unscrew the lid in front of me, was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand and poured the contents of the bottle on his head, the liquid in the bottle soaked his whole body, I smelled the pungent smell, and suddenly understood what was in the bottle.
Just as he wanted to speak, Gu Xiaotian stood up, took a deep breath, and knelt down in front of me.
"Yu doesn't believe in heaven and earth all his life, he asks himself if he kneels down and worships heaven and earth, he has never asked for half a sentence in his life, Yu knows that you value faith and righteousness, and today there is nothing else to ask for, Yu uses the Quartet enchantment to exchange Yu Ji to return to the Six Paths and get rid of the endless sea of suffering, and only you can do it in the world."
When Gu Xiaotian raised his hand, there was already an extra box of matches in his hand, and he didn't hesitate to polish it in front of me, what he poured on his body was gasoline, he wanted to be willing to be in front of me**, so that I could carry the Quartet enchantment he had, which was something I dreamed of, but now I don't have the slightest **, Gu Xiaotian resolutely threw the burning match in front of me, and at the moment when he touched his body, I quickly stretched out my hand to hold the match in the palm of my hand.
"Enough, how many more deaths will be before it is over, what is the use of the Quartet Enchantment I want you, even you know that it is not as good as having the power to control the world and join hands with Hongyan to grow old, even if I really have one day to reign over the world and be glorious for eternity, but I have to exchange it for eternal solitude, in my opinion, all this is just worthless."
I helped Gu Xiaotian to get up, at that moment there was a feeling of laughter and hatred, in fact, everything was imposed on me, if there were no such encounters, in my eyes no matter how I looked at him, he was enough to be called a hero.
"Yu Ji is self-inflicted, she will never be reborn, Wei Yong didn't lie to you about this, the Netherworld has the rules of the Netherworld, although she died for you, after all, she violated the law of the Netherworld, even if you give me the Quartet Enchantment, I can't help you save her, but ......"
"But it doesn't matter, Yu only has this one reason to support my life, no matter what it is, Yu has no hesitation."
I raised my head and took a sip of wine, which was very spicy and felt like my stomach was burning, but my heart was filled with desolate regret.
"For the dead! I can help Yu Ji surpass and let her return to the six realms of reincarnation, but there must be someone who is willing to suffer for eternity in her place. ”
"I'll go to the underworld with you!"
Gu Xiaotian didn't hesitate to answer me, I didn't even stop his thoughts, maybe this result was the best ending for him, I nodded and told him to leave Longhu Mountain in three days, Gu Xiaotian didn't say anything when he turned to leave, I shook the wine jug in my hand, it was as empty as my heart, as if it was really going to the end of the day, the end of the song was a hero stranger, I raised my head and drank the wine in the pot, I don't know if it was for Gu Xiaotian or for myself.
I was not a good drinker, I slept until the next day, when I woke up, Wen Zhuo and Xiao Lianshan were sitting in the room, I should have looked haggard and depressed, Wen Zhuo didn't ask me a word, Xiao Lianshan waved the boy fishing Wen Yan taken back from the grotto, and his movements were cautious, as if he was afraid of breaking it.
I have learned all the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, and the last Ming Tombs hidden in this inkstone will be the last piece of the puzzle of this epic theology, I found a paper and spread it on the table, and combined it with the inkstone according to the method that Shangguan Wan'er taught me.
I pressed the fishing child lightly, and we saw the child on the inkstone moving, and the fishing tackle in the child's hand slowly sank into the ink, and then lifted it again, and turned to the other side, and wrote on the paper, and when the child's body turned to the front again, the fishing tackle in the hand hung down into the ink again, and we saw a clearly visible word on the rice paper.
You!
We looked at the fishing child, mechanically repeating the same action, writing a second word on the paper.
Come!
We all couldn't take our eyes off the words that magically appeared under the fishing tackle of the inkstone boy, and the four words that the child had already written in a moment.
So!
It is connected to the previous ones.
You're here!
Xiao Lianshan was stunned for a long time, looked over and over for a long time, frowned and asked puzzled.
"This ...... What does this mean, and what is it? ”
Wen Zhuo suddenly smiled and replied unhurriedly.
"The three worlds, the accumulation of good and evil are all up to you, throughout the ages, who will be let go of the underworld, the horizontal criticism of this couplet is this sentence written on the paper, are you here!"
"It's ...... What is this place of couplet? Xiao Lianshan asked.
"City God Temple!" I replied with a faint smile.
Zhu Yuanzhang actually chose such a place in the end, presumably it is also a person who misses the old, in the second year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang admired the City God Temple, and issued an edict to seal the city god of the world, and the last Ming Fourteen Tombs we are looking for are related to the City God Temple.
Xiao Lianshan nodded as if he didn't understand, but soon asked suspiciously, there are so many City God Temples in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang left these four words, who can know which City God Temple it is?
I smiled, seeing that the boy fished Wen Yan and did not rotate, there must have been no extra clues, picked up the paper on the table and answered confidently, although there are many city god temples in the world, but there is only one that has saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life, without this city god temple, there will be no Zhu Yuanzhang later called the emperor, and the beginning and end of the Ming Dynasty Sheji originated from this city god temple.
Wen Zhuo seemed to already know what I was talking about, and had already gotten up to pack up and leave Longhu Mountain.
"It's not a joke to go down to the Netherworld, since you have learned the Nine Heavens Hidden Dragon Decision, it's better to go to this last place to seal mana first, anyway, you have to take the road guide first and just happen to be together."
Xiao Lianshan was still confused, and pulled me to ask where this City God Temple was.
I patted him on the shoulder and told him calmly.
"Longxing Fengyang, the place where Zhu Yuanzhang was born, and it happened to be in a city god temple, which is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang later said that the emperor respected the city god temple."
I asked Xiao Lianshan to pack up his things, Wen Zhuo said well, before going down to the netherworld, it is better to unlock the mana of the last seal, after all, it is unknown what will happen to the netherworld, I was going to go to this Tianwang Tower before leaving, I have a lot of things to say to Yue Qianling, and I am afraid of touching the scene, I can't sleep at night, and I have experienced too much today, as if the confusing things before are gradually becoming clearer, maybe it is really not far from the dust to settle, I will wait for the day to come, the only thing I look forward to is that when everything is over, I was surrounded by these friends.
