Chapter 8 Rotation of Cause and Effect
While the city was in a hellish scene around the capital, a drastic change was taking place somewhere thousands of miles away.
Thousands of miles away from Zhongdu, in the snowy mountains, an old man buried in a pile of official documents was irritably turning the brush in his hand, unable to concentrate on his already boring paperwork.
He didn't know what was going on in the middle capital, and he didn't want to care. Since the time of the Kyushu War, both humans and demons have been very clear that Sinane will never help each other, and he is not interested in the growth and decline of forces on either side, as long as no one takes the initiative to provoke him, he will not make a move for any mundane things.
The habit has never changed for a long time, and it is the same now, and besides, the middle capital city is obviously the sphere of influence of the Weng boy, no matter what he does, why do he have to go out to wade in this troubled water?
But it is undeniable that my mood has been very irritable in the past two days, and I can't even look at the solemnity that has followed me for many years. Among the people who were involved in the stirring of the central capital, he had a good impression of Gongjin and didn't want to see him waste his life in vain, but ...... It doesn't seem to be worth breaking his own principles for him.
It was because of these problems that the old man in the mountains had been extremely short-tempered in the past few days, but just when he sensed the outbreak of turmoil in Zhongdu and the irritability in his heart reached its peak, a strange throbbing went straight into his mind, it was a heart-to-heart communication from a certain direction, a long-time induction, and the party who sent the communication made him even more stunned.
"What are you looking for me to do at this time?"
"Sinan, I'm in a little trouble here, please help me and concentrate my thoughts with Heavenly Consciousness. ”
"You are a dignified sage who will also beg people, I thought you were so arrogant that you would never bow down to people. ”
"If I still have a night to spare, then I really don't need to ask you for help to break the seal on my own, but the current situation is critical, I must use your power to break the seal early and help my disciples. ”
"Oh, you've been sealed, when did you happen, and who has the ability to do that? Well, that's it...... You don't know what has happened in the past few years?"
"Knowing it or not doesn't alleviate my careless and foolish mistakes, Sinan, have you made a good decision?"
“...... Okay, I'll help you. ”
Closing his eyes, concentrating, and concentrating, the old man in the mountain operated the Tianxin consciousness, using extremely difficult Tianxin skills, thousands of miles away, and joined forces with Lu You, combining the power of the two divine swords to break the evil seal.
This should not be a difficult thing, but space and distance have become the biggest problems, although this has made Lu You's pressure lighter, and he has cracked more than a dozen technical difficulties in a row, and he can break the seal in a short time, however, time is what people lack the most now.
The killing of the Blood God Son and the teleportation of Dorgon and Merlin took place, these changes occurred quickly, but they could not affect the pace of the movement of the All Creatures Vitality Beast, so that it stomped on the mountain step by step and came to the city wall of the central capital.
Zhongdu City has a very strong defensive enchantment, when the Taoist priests of the White Deer Cave form a formation and open the defensive enchantment, even if there are thousands of troops and horses outside the city to attack together, they can also do absolute defense for a certain period of time and block all kinds of physical attacks.
However, this time it was a huge beast that was more lethal than thousands of horses and thousands of troops, and it was also powered by the vitality of heaven and earth. When this Vitality Behemoth collided with the golden light barrier on the periphery of the city wall, countless blood-colored vines suddenly withered, as if representing the incomparable power of evil power, and the Behemoth also let out a howl of pain.
But what followed made people pessimistic. When the giant beast quickly adapted to the divine power of the golden light barrier, this evil life form suddenly evolved, and a large number of blood-colored vines quickly poured out from his body, sticking to the golden light barrier like thousands of tentacles, and then quickly absorbing the energy contained in the golden light barrier as if it had absorbed the flesh and blood of living beings before.
Gong Jin was shocked and angry, he never imagined that this vitality giant beast still had such ability, it was not just a simple brute force thing, and now he was not sure that he could protect everyone's safety.
Fortunately, the hard work of the White Army Emperor gave everyone a glimmer of hope. Because the White Emperor deliberately chose to fight in a blind spot, Gong Jin and Kublai Khan didn't see it very clearly, but from the vaguely felt Qi Rush, the two of them had a terrifying idea.
The head of the white-character family has made a breakthrough and entered the heavenly position from the earth realm!
For those who intend to compete for hegemony in troubled times, strength and secrecy are the two trump cards to win, so before he and Lu You started to run on Jade Dragon Mountain, the White Army Emperor deliberately hid his strength and did not go all out. But now, he is determined to pay for righteousness, and he has no choice, and is forced to show this strength card for hegemony in advance, which is ...... Gong Jin was indeed moved.
However, the power of the Little Heaven Rank was not enough compared to the All Things Yuan Qi Beast. The White Army Emperor's hard work, the nuclear fusion fist unleashed without reservation, like a storm, hit every body of the giant beast like a storm, countless blood-colored vines were beaten to pieces, but with the support of the inexhaustible Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, they quickly multiplied and grew, and re-covered the wounded parts.
The White Emperor's battle stimulated the second wave of evolution of the All Things Yuan Qi Beast. A lion-like head took shape, and from that huge mouth spewed out blazing flames that burned half of the sky, and the White Army Emperor, who was still trying to attack, was suddenly engulfed in flames.
The second wave evolved more than just attack power. The blood-colored vines released bits of purple-green light, transforming into ten thousand ghost fires in the air, each of which had a strange magical power, making those who gazed at them dazzled, and the three souls and seven spirits came out of their bodies, slowly floating into the sky, and were gradually absorbed by the beasts of all things.
Gong Jin witnessed all this, and the spiritual power he possessed made him immune to the invasion of external demons and the danger of his soul going out of his body, but he could still see the inevitable end.
Even the Heavenly Rank Martial Artists had already been defeated, and this rapidly growing Vitality Behemoth was already an invincible symbol that could not be defeated, and there was nothing he could do about it. This time...... In the end, the master won, he once again successfully controlled the life and death of tens of millions of people, and he was still powerless to resist him, but he never understood what the master who did these things had gained?
"Don't be discouraged, Gong Jin, we haven't lost until you think you've really failed. ”
Compared with Gong Jin, Kublai Khan, who was also a mortal in the earth realm, seemed to still have fighting spirit, but the white giant cone he carried on his shoulders made Gong Jin unable to see his reputation.
Purely in terms of appearance, it is very much like an ancient demon weapon, like a chaotic fire crossbow in the literature, could it be......
"This is something that my men just sent, the last weapon that Mr. bin Laden left before he went into battle, I heard that it was a Chaos Fire Balbow powered by some nuclear element...... Who knows, the Ancient Demon Dao is full of difficult things to understand. ”
Kublai Khan shrugged his shoulders and laughed heartily: "As long as this thing can be used to kill the enemy, it will be enough." I've heard that this thing's explosive power can override the small heavenly position, and if it can blow up the wound of Mr. bin Laden at close range, do you think it's possible to break that ugly thing to pieces?"
Gong Jin also felt that this strategy was feasible, and it could even be said to be the most practical tactic at present, but he couldn't ignore the smile on Kublai Khan's face.
"What are you afraid of? How can there be immortal people? There are no eggs under the nest, can I be able to live a long life if I shrink into this city?"
Kublai Khan laughed nonchalantly, picked up the Chaos Fire Crossbow, and stood at the head of the city, looking for a suitable place to fly and land.
The blasting power that can override the small heavenly position with one blow, although it is possible to severely damage the Vitality Behemoth, but for mortals who only have the power of the Earth Realm to protect their bodies, they are definitely certain to die. The problem is that except for himself and Gong Jin, it is impossible for the martial arts of the rest of the people to support close to the target position......
No, maybe worse, if you're unlucky, you may be engulfed by the blood-colored vines as soon as you land, and you won't have a chance to get close to the best blasting target, so it's important to calculate where to land.
“...... Clever indeed. However, there is no need for someone who should become the overlord of the world to take the lead in everything, you orc should go out of the way!"
With a cold word, Kublai Khan's right half of his body suddenly became sore, and he had already been caught in the plot from behind, and was taken away by the Chaos Fire Crossbow, followed by a flash of white shadow, and the person who made the plot had already jumped out.
"Gong Jin!"
Although they have not known each other for a long time, Kublai Khan is full of admiration for this seemingly indifferent human sister-in-law, in addition to the righteousness established by birth and death together, the most important thing is that he can make Xiao Qiao happy, so he will be willing to take on the task of nine deaths for them, but he did not expect him to rush ahead of him.
When Kublai Khan broke through the acupuncture and stood up, he saw that Gong Jin had already jumped away from the city, holding the chaotic fire crossbow, and rushed towards the body of the vitality giant beast, but as soon as he landed, the blood-colored vines that were densely swallowed over entangled the person, and in a blink of an eye, Gong Jin's figure disappeared among the vines.
"Gong Jin, you stupid dog!"
Kublai Khan punched the city hard, his heart full of anger, and he didn't know how to face Xiao Qiao even if he was lucky enough to escape today, and tell her that her husband had ......
God was kind to Kublai Khan, so he didn't need to face this problem, because just as he hesitated and didn't know how to act, a silent fluctuation came through, and everyone saw that in the purple-green shining ghost fire in the sky, a strange ball of light as black as ink slowly flew out from the body of the All Things Yuan Qi Beast.
"That's ...... Little Joe?"
※※※
Kublai Khan was surprised by the scene of the uncertain figure in the ball of light, and from the moment the black ball of light flew out, some kind of silent fluctuation began to appear in this space.
The red-blooded giant beast that was violently slamming into the barrier of the city wall, was affected by this fluctuation, and the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi that supplied its energy began to be chaotic, and even the blood-colored vines on its body gradually dissolved, turning into flesh and blood, and could no longer maintain the active state of the vines.
Sensing that something was wrong, the All Things Vitality Beast instinctively found the source of the problem, turned around, and the blazing pillar of fire that burned half of the sky reappeared, spraying a black ball of light in mid-air.
Just now, it was this magnificent flame flow, cleaning up the White Army Emperor who had reached the realm of heaven, and now seeing Xiao Qiao being attacked, Kublai Khan was only shocked into a cold sweat, but before he could actually move, the blazing flame had already sprayed the black ball, but it did not cause any damage, and was blocked by some kind of barrier force field outside the black ball, like a raging wave meeting a stable rock, and they retreated to both sides, unable to cause substantial lethality.
"It's ...... The Mage's Barrier Force Field. ”
Kublai Khan recognized this phenomenon, and in the past, when Teacher Mei Lin occasionally used magic, a barrier force field would also form around him, just like the protective true qi of a warrior. However, even the White Army Emperor's Talisman True Qi couldn't take this blow, what magic was so magical that it could withstand the attack of the All Things Yuan Qi Beast?
Kublai Khan still couldn't figure this out, but there is indeed such a thing in the world, since the fall of the Great Stone Kingdom and the death of Yan Long Jing'er, the divine skill that has disappeared in history for more than 400 years - the Five Extremes Heavenly Style has now reappeared in the world again.
"A color deeper than darkness, a longer implication than the starry sky. ”
Softly reciting these two main incantations that opened the connection between the gods, Little Joe experienced the sensation he had tasted for the first time in his life.
Although Teacher Mei Lin had warned him many times, Xiao Qiao still couldn't expect that the magic of the Heavenly Rank was so fierce, almost at once he sucked up all his magic power, and the feeling that his internal organs seemed to be sucked dry in an instant, not only pain, but also like a knife that stabbed his brain wildly.
(God, if there really is a god, please give me the courage to sustain and protect my family...... Protect my ...... Close relatives. )
Glancing at the middle capital city below, Xiao Qiao's gaze changed to his left wrist, staring at the Freedom Ring on his left wrist. This strange treasure created by the master craftsmen of the Demon Realm is emitting a phosphorescent glow, and as the magic power runs, the luminosity increases one by one, becoming more and more dazzling.
(Ring of Freedom, it's up to you...... The reason why you use the meaning of free naming, I finally understand. )
Destroying "equally" regardless of whether they are strong or weak, and protecting them with "fraternity" are the reasons for the names of the three artifacts, but Xiao Qiao has never understood the meaning of the word "freedom" until not long ago.
The casting meaning of the Freedom Magic Ring is to use it as a last-ditch sacrifice weapon, absorbing the holder's soul and life force, and producing an explosion of extinction, but Xiao Qiao does not expect the explosive power now, but only hopes that the energy absorbed by the Freedom Magic Ring from the host can maintain the operation of the Five Extremes Heaven until it is completed.
"Turning the wheel of fate in three thousand planes, I hereby ask you to listen to my prayers and obey the supreme laws of the universe......"
The whole set of Five Extremes Heavenly Style, I can only use this style, and I have only practiced this style. The magic power of the starting hand allows him to defeat the Yan Ning who is far stronger than himself without relying on the three artifacts, but the ** damage caused afterwards is also very serious, Xiao Qiao doesn't have to guess, and he knows what is waiting for his fate.
Human beings are very weak things, in order to seek some more ambitious goals, or to change some long-standing mistakes, there will be sacrifices as a last resort, but these sacrifices cannot be meaningless, so they must stand up at this time.
He is the one who founded the Ghost Rebel Army, led the establishment of this organization, and also has the responsibility to lead it to the end and pull down the curtain call. This is the responsibility of the leader, and even if it must be bloody, it cannot be handed over to someone else to replace it, because only then can the lessons be left in history.
(just...... I'm really reluctant!)
Xiao Qiao looked at the Freedom Ring again, the blue light above it flickered, almost to the point of burning people's eyes, and the strong light quickly turned into a high heat with the rapid rise of mana, burning the skin of his left wrist.
"Please connect the spindle of fate to the end of judgment between karma and karma, and reconnect the thread of the law of cause and effect before the end of the day comes......
The pain struck violently, Xiao Qiao gritted his teeth and held back, as if he heard a warning from Master Mei Lin in his ears, telling her that the Five Extremes Heavenly Style was not something that could be used casually, and that there was still time to stop, there must be other ways to save everything, not to exchange your own sacrifice for victory.
Xiao Qiao's eyes looked at the Imperial City of Zhongdu again, where there were two relatives who were connected with her flesh and blood, and in the trap of the blood-colored vines below, there was her favorite husband, if the power of the Five Extremes Heavenly Style was really as strong as the master said, and it could save those people she cared about, then what else could she be reluctant to?
A smile appeared on his pale face, and Xiao Qiao completed the last incantation without hesitation.
"Wheel of Cause and Effect!"
In the dazzling bright light, the Freedom Magic Ring exploded into pieces, and the billowing black mist around the black ball of light was also dispersed at once, and an ethereal and unreal image of a god appeared in the void.
An old woman in a gray cloak with a difficult face in front of her was a rolling spinning wheel, snow-white silk threads, endlessly connected outward, weaving into something like a spider's web as the axle rolled rapidly.
The old woman stood up suddenly, although her face was still blurred, but only one eye, but bloomed with a strong light, followed her to raise her hands, the palms of the two palms, each has an eye, when these three eyes representing the past, the present, and the future bloomed together, Xiao Qiao's figure disappeared into the bright light.
And in another space of destiny that no one could see, Xiao Qiao appeared there, looking at the hundreds of millions of silk threads that were as intricate as spider webs in front of him, knowing that he only had a very short few seconds.
The first three are mainly in space, and reach the peak of the third type of "Gate of Stars", and the fourth type of "retrograde boat" affects time, and when space and time are under control, the person who created the trick relies on this theory to extend the magic to the ethereal fate, and completes the theoretical basis of the fifth type of "Wheel of Cause and Effect".
There are so many threads, each of which represents a certain person or something. Some silk threads are as thick as a rope, while others are short and thin, and the difference in thickness and flexibility is due to the karmic karma of things, if some people or things have extremely strong karma, or are guarded by a barrier of strong energy, these people or things are not easy to change, Xiao Qiao can only pray that what he is looking for will not be too tricky.
"Found it!"
The silk thread representing the Vitality Beast of All Things was unexpectedly thin, and it was gradually decomposing, and Xiao Qiao didn't even need to move his fingers, and with a light breath, he blew off the silk thread.
If the thread of the law of cause and effect is so thin that it is even gradually breaking, does it mean that if it takes a little longer, the beast will be destroyed by other forces?
Xiao Qiao has no way to confirm this, and he doesn't want to confirm it. "It's hard to buy a thousand dollars, I knew it earlier", and now to verify this is just to add more regret to myself and laugh at myself even more.
But now that she is here, she wants to use the little time and strength she still has left, to complete a little work in this forbidden space that no mortals are allowed to enter.
The first is the large area of defiled land outside the central capital. Although it is impossible for the dead to come back to life, if the defiled land is not treated, even if the All Vitality Beasts are wiped out, thousands of people will still be poisoned by the poison gas and die.
Found the silk thread that was not strong, Xiao Qiao broke the silk thread, at this time, another long thread as thick as a rope appeared in her eyes, red as blood, from that special sense and shape, Xiao Qiao knew that it was the connection cause and effect that represented the history of the Guiyi clan.
(Maybe I could...... )
Based on this expectation, Xiao Qiao resolutely stretched out her hand, but just as she was about to touch the thick rope, the karma contained in it had already caused her arm to corrode violently, and then she heard a terrible roar in her head, it was the god of fate who had made a contract with her, ending her stay as agreed, and preparing to give her the damnation she deserved.
(Not yet...... One more time!)
Barely surviving the severe pain, Xiao Qiao tore off part of the filament on the thick rope, although the sharp pain of disengaging from the space made her whole body feel like it was about to disintegrate, but she was still proud of what she had done.
※※※
When Xiao Qiao disappeared from the sky, the figure of the All Things Yuan Qi Beast began to gradually fade away, although the giant beast roared angrily and slammed into the city wall again and again, but whether it was its flames or impact, it quickly became indifferent, leaving only an image, without substantial temperature and lethality.
People were stunned by this scene, but a bright white light flew from the direction of the White Deer Cave at high speed, followed by a fierce sword qi that cut through the clouds, and a thunderstorm slashed down from the sky, slashing through the body of the giant beast, giving it the final blow.
But except for Lu You, no one knew how surprised he was when he drew his sword. In the face of this unprecedented beast, Lu You couldn't be sure if he could defeat it, the first sword was just a temptation, but that sword was cut down, almost powerless, the huge body of the Everything Yuan Qi Beast was already illusory, and that sword slashed a blurry image, with no real lethality, and was completely slashed on the ground.
(How can this happen?)
Ignoring Lu You's astonishment, cheers were already ringing on the ground. Amidst the thunderous roar, people sang the praises of the great exploits of the Moon Sage, for no one else could possess such supernatural powers and save all beings like a great god. But while the people were thundering, an unobtrusive strange thing happened at the same time.
Those who hid in the city and luckily saved their surnames suddenly found that the markings on their bodies and the corners of their foreheads began to disappear rapidly, and before they could understand what was happening, the appearance of the Guiyi tribe had disappeared, and their appearance was no different from that of ordinary humans.
Without saying anything, the ghosts quietly dispersed in all directions, either blending into the crowd or quietly leaving the city before the people of the central capital city found out.
Gong Jin, who was originally entangled in blood-colored vines, suddenly felt a light pressure after Xiao Qiao disappeared, and moved towards the target location at full speed, but before he arrived, the All Things Yuan Qi Beast began to transform into a virtual body, and he stepped on it unrealistically, and actually passed through the All Things Yuan Qi Beast, fell straight to the ground, and retreated with the best light skills.
"What's going on?"
Lu You's subsequent appearance surprised Gong Jin, but at the same time that the All Things Yuan Qi Beast was completely wiped out, another thing shocked him, that is, Xiao Qiao reappeared, falling from a high altitude, and his posture of not moving, seemed to be unconscious.
"Little Joe!"
In time, Gong Jin caught his wife at the cost of a broken left wrist, but the feeling of receiving it made him even more frightened.
He had never touched such a light human body, nor had he ever seen such an astonishing amount of bleeding, that dress was almost completely stained with blood, what did his wife do during the time she disappeared?
Awakened by the shock, Xiao Qiao opened her eyes vaguely, and after seeing that it was her husband, she smiled reluctantly and muttered softly.
"Brother Yu...... Take me home......"
Xiao Qiao fainted after speaking, Gong Jin was so anxious that she was burning, seeing that her wife's life was on the verge of death, but this place was thousands of miles away from Rose Red, how could she fulfill her wish?
※※※
When Xiao Qiao opened his eyes from the coma, he only found himself lying flat on the grass, and the scene he saw in his eyes was a very familiar picture.
The stars shining in the sky are exactly the same as looking up in the rose-red, especially when the husband's face also appears in his sight, it feels like lying on a bamboo and rattan chair in the rose-red backyard every night, looking at the stars while saying gentle words.
"Brother Yu, we ...... Are you home?"
"Well, little Joe, we're home. ”
Her husband's gentle voice was as calm and reliable as usual, and Xiao Qiao couldn't help the extremely tired tiredness in her body, and just wanted to close her eyes and sleep soundly, but another warning that was almost screaming made her force her spirits to say what she should explain when she could still speak.
Therefore, Xiao Qiao said that he told Gong Jin all about his consciousness when he used the Five Extremes Heavenly Form, as well as when he absorbed a large amount of toxins from the All Things Yuan Qi Beast, and told him what was going to happen, and also told him his last commission.
Gong Jin didn't know how he could have listened to this, and when he had listened to his wife's commission, his only reaction was to jump up and yell at the ridiculous request. However, his reason made him understand what mood his wife was in to make such a commission, and he could not refuse her heartfelt request at the end of her life.
"Brother Yu, do you blame me?
"No, it won't. I feel proud because my wife ...... She is a strong, gentle, courageous, and willing to care for her ideals and people...... Those who have the courage to give, even if they ...... Even if...... I'm also very proud. ”
Speaking of which, Gong Jin's self-suppressed trembling voice made Xiao Qiao feel so distressed, and she wanted to reach out to touch her husband's face, but found that her hand was soft and had no strength, and she couldn't lift it.
There's no time......
"No, I'm not as good as you say, because ...... Part of the reason I do this is because I want to help my father, I ...... Trying to save him. ”
"Your father? is that...... Who?"
Gong Jin was greatly stunned, he and his wife have known each other so far, and they only know that she has wandered with her mother to Wulian since she was a child, and grew up under the protection of Kublai Khan, but she has never heard her mention about her father, and she thinks that she does not know who her father is.
But listening to Xiao Qiao's tone, she not only knew, but had been sheltering this person, Gong Jin suddenly felt a chill, and felt that there was some kind of ominous cold breath that would blow on her.
"My dad...... It was the man who now sat on the throne of Altino. Cao Shou...... It's my father. ”
"No! ”
Nothing could shock Gong Jin so much, but the pain and guilt on Xiao Qiao's face made him have to believe what he heard.
"It's true...... My mother told me. My brother...... It was because he discovered this that he took special care of me among so many human beings. ”
Xiao Qiao's brother is Kublai Khan, Gong Jin just didn't expect that the two of them were really brothers and sisters, half-brothers and sisters with the same father......
"My father is obsessed with making children, my mother...... One of his many lucky people, he didn't even know I existed, but I ...... I still want to love him. He wasn't a good emperor, but I didn't want to see another country fall apart and end miserably, so I ...... I ......"
"That's why you came out to lead the rebels, because only in this way, after overthrowing Eltino, can you keep him alive and live the rest of his life in peace, right?"
“...... I didn't have the opportunity to grow up in Altino, but I loved the land and wanted to protect it, and it was my responsibility to preserve the land that my father had damaged and bring hope and happiness back to the people. Maybe...... That's why God made me his daughter into the world!"
When his wife said her dying words so gently, what else could Gong Jin answer? It was precisely because she was so kind that she would shoulder the responsibility that she didn't even have to carry for a father who had never even met, and worked hard to promote ethnic harmony and bring peace and happiness back to the people who had been harshly governed, and finally even paid for it with her life.
“...... Brother Yu, I love this land and my father, but ...... I am most reluctant to be you, thank you...... You used to love me so much, you used to give me so much happiness, I really want to go back to Rose Red with you again, you sit at the counter, I plant flowers, and the two of us ...... together"
The soft voice gradually turned silent, and Gong Jin just half-knelt beside his wife, staring at her pale face, tears blurring his eyes at some point.
A cold feeling suddenly stuck to the hot cheeks, wiped away the tears, Gong Jin reluctantly held the cold palm, but could no longer feel any trace of life breath from the white little hands.
“...... Love you and have no regrets in your life. ”
The short six words were Xiao Qiao's last words, although they were very short, Gong Jin heard a lot of things from them. Pity, reluctance, guilt, regret, love, determination...... Little Joe condensed her feelings into these six words, and was convinced that her husband could understand it.
Gong Jin didn't know what to say, when he was in Rose Red seclusion before, he often wondered if he was really willing to spend his life in bleak life and spend a leisurely time with Xiao Qiao, but the answer is now clear, as long as his wife can wake up again, laugh and cry again, he is willing to pay any price for it, when Xiao Qiao let go, Gong Jin felt that his whole person seemed to be torn apart, and a large part of himself died with it......
In this way, Gong Jin squatted in front of his wife, waiting in a daze. If he had a choice, he would love to escape, but until he fulfilled his promise to Little Joe, he could only stay here and wait for the dawn to come.
"Actually, there's one thing I haven't told you all along...... Because I'm scared ......."
It was supposed to be said when Xiao Qiao could still hear it, but now although it was a step late, Gong Jin still decided to let Xiao Qiao know about it.
"Yan Ning said that I am a hypocrite, which is not wrong at all. Compared to you, Little Joe, I am hypocritical and ugly......"
Holding his wife's palm, which was no longer warm, Gong Jin rubbed his cheeks with attachment, since he and Xiao Qiao left Al Tienor, he had never worn a mask again, and when Xiao Qiao rewrote his fate in the Five Extremes Heavenly Style, he no longer had to use a mask or spell to cover anything, because the black markings that once appeared on his cheeks would never appear again......
"I'm a ghost...... On the maternal side, this is true. Similar to the situation of Rou Ning, but the situation is reversed, the goal of my efforts since I was a child is to wash away the shame marks brought to me by the blood of the ghosts in my body, and swear that there will be no more half of the ghosts left in the world...... Until I met you. ”
In a few faint words, there are countless resentments and resentments, that is a kind of hatred that is deeply rooted in the blood of the Guiyi clan, which has made Gongjin grit his teeth and make an oath of gnashing teeth for thousands of nights, but these are no longer important, and thinking back on the acquaintance, a wry smile appeared on Gongjin's face.
"You are a human being, trying to pretend to be a ghost, and I have the blood of a ghost, but I think I am a human. We are husband and wife, in fact, we are very similar...... Much like ......"
When two similar but different lives are distorted and entangled with each other, Gongjin once found the heat of life because of this. Now, one of the sections of the spiral is broken forever, and Gong Jin can only squat and kneel here quietly, looking at his wife's face with teary eyes, recalling their first acquaintance on the Pengfen slope, fighting side by side in the underground mines, life and death in the middle capital, and now Yongjue.
Unconsciously, Gong Jin let go of his wife's hand and knelt quietly, like an impeccable stone statue, doing eternal contemplation until the sun shone on the earth in the morning, and Gong Jin made a strange sound in front of him.
“...... Woo...... Woo...... Woohoo......"
A strange moan, together with the extremely rancid smell of flesh and blood, appeared clearly with the sunlight, and the source of the rancid and evil moans was the corpse in front of Gong Jin.
When the stench of corpses spread rapidly, turning all the surrounding ten feet of grass to yellow, the lifeless corpse suddenly sat up, and stared at the man in front of him with a strange glow of blue eyes.
As Xiao Qiao explained before, the punishment imposed by the god of fate will make her born in the demon world in her next life, becoming the most hated demon of her compatriots in the human world;
“...... Woo...... Woo...... Woohoo......"
As the target did not move, seemingly completely unthreatening, it jerked out its half-rotten claw arm to grab the first drop of living human blood it tasted, but before the bright blood light burst out, the sharp sword light seemed to flash through its throat, easily flashing through its throat, separating the unreliable head with a sword, and immediately after, the blazing fire engulfed the separated body that fell in two places.
Dust to dust, dust to earth, and when the morning sun shines on every part of this mountainous land, there is only a pile of ashes left, and there is no half of a corpse.
The man knelt there, did not raise his head, did not dare to raise his head, his clenched left fist was bleeding out, relying on the pain to suppress the fear and grief in his heart, until he was sure that the fire had been extinguished, he slowly and laboriously stood up, looked over the embers of the fire in front of him, and looked at the walls of the central capital and the palace guarded by the regiments below.
"Little Joe, I'...... Take you home......"
※※※
"This time, I want to thank you, without your assistance, I wouldn't have been able to come out in time to clean up the aftermath. ”
The scenery outside the middle capital was restored to the old view, and all the pollution was removed in one fell swoop, and the Moon Sage naturally became the savior of the human world. However, Lu You, who knew in his heart that this was not the case, did not explain much, but just used the water mirror for the first time to express his gratitude to the deceased.
"No thanks, if I have a choice, I don't want to be involved in the struggle of the human world again, speaking of which, everything is your arrogance and arrogance, so that the enemy will have a chance to take advantage of it!
Helping each other in the air, the old man in the mountain suffered a great loss of vitality, and he was unwilling to talk more, so he quickly cut off the water mirror communication, however, Xinan still had some scruples, worried that Lu You would deliberately bear this stigma for the sake of dignity and face, causing irreparable hatred between master and apprentice, so before cutting off the communication, he made an exception to remind two more sentences.
It's a pity that despite thousands of years of friendship, people still can't fully understand each other, and Sinane didn't grasp the true mind of the Moon Sage.
(Emotion and love, is really a powerful driving force to break through the practice of martial arts, in recent years, Gong Jin has been trained by the world, martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, far more effective than my teaching, if this continues, it will not be far from breaking through the boundary...... )
Lu You was really happy that the disciple had entered the realm like this, but he was also worried that if Gong Jin neglected to exercise, or even gave up on himself after losing his wife, wouldn't a rare martial arts wizard be ruined?
(By the way, as long as he continues to have a goal to pursue, the heart that thirsts for strength will be self-improving, and hatred is always the greatest motivation for a warrior to progress...... In this way, for his own sake, the best way to deal with this matter is...... )
Thinking in his heart, Lu You, who was looking down on the earth in mid-air, noticed the twitching that was happening in the direction of the palace.
The imperial palace in the middle capital city, this day is really very unpeaceful, just the movement of the vitality beast of all things, the entire imperial city is turned upside down, a large number of refugees rushed to the palace gate again, and the guards clashed, almost about to fight. Finally, everything passed, most of the people relaxed their vigilance, and went back to rest, and a madman broke into the palace gate with a sword, and his martial arts were extremely high, and he easily killed hundreds of soldiers, and rushed into the palace at once.
Although the imperial guards also had some good hands, they couldn't stop this superb swordsman who was as strong as a ghost and god, and they didn't even see how he used his sword, and the silver light flashed, and he fell to the ground with blood and wailing. In the rosy red cultivation and last night's fierce battle, Gong Jin's martial arts broke through by leaps and bounds, and there were almost few opponents in the realm, and ordinary martial artists were not even his opponents with a sword, let alone these imperial guards.
People just don't understand why, when this crazy man with his head scattered and covered in blood slaughtered into the palace of Zhongdu with his sword and was surrounded by thousands of soldiers, he only used his sword with one hand, but the other hand firmly guarded a wrapped bag, as if that mass was more important than his own surname, if not, his hands were dexterous and the lethality would definitely be stronger.
“...... Damn, why do all the good and bad things come to the palace? Has this become a compulsory question for madmen to test their swords?"
One of the imperial guards shouted this wail in horror as he retreated in embarrassment, not realizing that his words had some kind of fateful surname - in the year 562 of the Eltino calendar, when Li Yu broke into the imperial city for the third time, he was affected by the sword qi and died on the spot.
Originally, when I heard that a crazy swordsman had entered the imperial city, the chamberlain informed His Majesty the Emperor, who was sleeping like a dead pig, that he was ready to take refuge temporarily, but Gong Jin came too quickly and was familiar with the palace building, so he rushed straight to the emperor's dormitory, killed all the guards, and cut several chamberlains who blocked the road to pieces.
Gong Jin's eyes couldn't see through, but the feeling that the sword qi told him made him know that he wasn't looking for the wrong person. After realizing that a hard work was not wasted, he put down the burden in his arms, carefully did not blow the wind, prayed silently, and spoke softly in a voice that only he could hear.
“...... Little Joe, you regret that you never met your father, did you? I brought you to meet your father......"
Gong Jin's long sword had been retracted into its sheath, but standing proudly empty-handed, the cold sword aura emanating from his body made the surrounding ten feet of space cold to the heart and lungs, and the soldiers and guards in ambush were intimidated by its might, and no one dared to step forward to rescue the Nest Emperor who was leaning against the door, trembling and begging for mercy.
"Cao Shou, listen to me, I brought my wife here to meet her father. She was the best woman in the world, but her father ...... is the stupidest pig and dog in the world, for his own ridiculous reproduction and foolishness, he spoiled his female surname, and he didn't even know that he had such a good daughter. ”
"Her father is destined to be a dead monarch, but in order to protect this father who has never taken care of her, she desperately pays, loves the people of this country for her father, thinks about them, leads them to coexist peacefully, and regains the lost happiness and peace, she does this to protect her father and prevent her father from being sent to death by the revolutionary mob!"
"My wife she ...... She truly loves this country, sincerely prays for the happiness of this country, takes on the responsibilities that her father did not take, and bears the original sin that she should not bear. When everyone turned their backs on the land, she remained until she died...... They are still praying for her father and the country. She is the one who really cares about this land and these people...... She's dead now!"
roared angrily, and Gong Jin's roar was like a thousand troops, shaking the sky, shaking the leaves all over the courtyard and fluttering.
"Cao Shou, did you hear it! Your daughter is dead!"
The power of drinking was enough to shock the tiger and leopard, and the soldiers who were about to move retreated to their original positions one after another, looking at each other. Many of them, having witnessed the upheaval of the previous night, had vaguely guessed something in their hearts when they heard these words, and they did not know who had started them, but each soldier laid down his weapons and bowed his head in greetings.
After Gong Jin shouted those words vigorously, he didn't get much pleasure, his chest felt like a big hole had been broken, empty and very uncomfortable, and watching the last few leaves fall alone, as sad as his own, Gong Jin's heart was so painful that he could hardly help but shed tears again.
“...... Little Joe, is that enough? Your dad knows you, knows what you've done for him, so are you feeling better?"
Picking up the clothes bag wrapped in ashes, Gong Jin gently swayed, the expression on his face was inexplicable, but he was reluctant, and finally gritted his teeth, and he took his wife to leave this magnificent but [***] inner courtyard of the palace.
Gong Jin didn't expect Cao Shou to have any good reaction, but the moment he turned around, he didn't hear the expected cries for help and running, but a very small, very small cry quietly came from the other side of the paper door.
This is incredible, but Gong Jin can't help but trust his ears and perceptions, and the stupid and superficial dog emperor with a fat brain cried......
“...... You're going to be happy, your father is sad for you, and if you can hear it, you're happy to be kind, right?"
Whispering to the non-existent person, Gong Jin did not hesitate for a moment, performed light skills, and left the palace at once, and in the next two months, no one saw him again, although the people of the central capital city were very eager to find General Gong Jin and reward him heavily for his achievements in saving the middle capital, but he was like those ghosts who could no longer be recognized, the world evaporated, and disappeared without a trace.
The troops of the White and Medici families, along with their leaders, withdrew from Eltino silently, and their whereabouts were as secret as if they had never been there. But the damage of this incident left traces in the hearts of the two leaders, whether it was the overlord of martial arts or the number one terrorist of the Bai family, they all suffered this blow without psychological preparation, making them lose their ambitions for a while, and they were silent in their respective territories, remembering the pain of losing their loved ones.
Kublai Khan tried to break through the boundaries behind closed doors, believing that if he had the power of the Heavenly Position, he would be able to make up for this weak remorse.
In contrast, Lu You, who had to take on the reorganization of the White Deer Cave, was very concerned about the situation of his disciples. Compared with Yan Ning, who temporarily lost his life goal, Lu You was more worried about Gong Jin, whose whereabouts were unknown, and when two months passed, Gong Jin still did not return to Rose Red and did not come to the White Deer Cave, Lu You was dissatisfied with the state of his disciple's declining ambition.
Through the induction of Tianxin consciousness, Lu You found the location of his disciple, blurred the image, and came to the royal cemetery of El Tinor. In front of a new nameless grave there, Gong Jin sat there, staring straight at the barren mound, casually sprinkling the freshly picked petals.
Lu You understood what his disciple was doing here, but he was deeply surprised, because Gong Jin's body was spotless, and he had even put on his brocade robe and military emblem again, and was dressed up, which showed that he already knew that he would come, and he was worthy of being a proud disciple who had been trained by himself for six hundred years.
"Master, you're here...... White Deer Cave still needs someone to do things in the dark, right? I believe that I still have the value of use and life. ”
Lu You was silent. He originally came here to comfort Gong Jin and mourn the brave girl in the grave, but seeing Gong Jin's reaction, he had other ideas.
His proud disciple undoubtedly misunderstood his intentions, but he was happy to see such a misunderstanding and took the initiative to facilitate it.
"Very good, Gong Jin, you have made great progress compared to before, this time you have been honed for you, you have finally passed, and you have worked hard for you in the past two and a half years, you have lived up to my expectations, and you have really become a talent!"
Such an answer seems to have reached an agreement on behalf of both parties, but before Gong Jin turned around, he still asked a question in an unruly manner.
"Thank you for the cultivation of the teacher, but Gongjin has something unclear about, and he must ask the teacher for advice. ”
"Huh?"
"Master re-accepted me and returned to the door wall, don't you really regret it?"
"I have never missed a decision in my life as a teacher, and if you can surpass me in your future achievements, I will only be more gratified, proving that my vision and education are not bad, why regret it?"
Gong Jin respectfully bowed to his teacher, but only he knew what kind of hatred oath he had in his heart while bowing.
(...... Kill you...... Someday...... I'm going to kill you...... )
On the 17th day of July in the year 422 of the Eltino calendar, the disaster of ghosts that lasted for thousands of years was finally declared over, and it was clearly recorded in the annals of Altino:
Marshal Zhou Gongjin of Bailu Cave led the army to destroy the Guiyi rebels in Zhongdu, captured and beheaded its leader Tao Yanning, and killed all the Guiyi soldiers in the mass grave, and the blood of the Guiyi was extinct from then on, and there were no more Guiyi people in the world.
From this day on, Emperor Eltino, who had been a profligate man, ceased his unbridled mating practices and dismissed the thousands of women who had been recruited and imprisoned. He reappeared before the ministers, as if he had been old for a hundred years overnight, and no one knew what the reason was that prompted the emperor surnamed Cao to change.
General Tao Qian, who once left Bailu Cave, ended his confidential mission after this incident, returned to Bailu Cave, and under the sponsorship of Marshal Zhou Gongjin, he became the head of the house, but until he turned against the master because of the Southern Tang Dynasty incident, this man who had shown a high degree of talent was mediocre and inactive, and was known to the outside world with a plain and old-fashioned image.
A hundred years later, the Hibiscus Rebellion broke out in Wulian, and Ertino transferred troops to quell the rebellion, but Marshal Zhou Gongjin, who held a major military power, refused to obey his orders, so the Medici rebellion sat big, and the whole world thought it was strange, and the Ardino court was furious, and planted the factor that would later exile Marshal Zhou Gongjin to The Hague.
The wind, blowing slowly, under the shade of the trees in the royal cemetery, with the bloom of the morning light, passed through the layers of green mountains, with a slightly cool smell of ice and snow, drifted over the top of the mountain, flowing everywhere.
A low sigh like a whisper, mixed in the wind, traveled thousands of miles to the top of the thousand snow peaks cascading on top of the mountains.
Wu Lian, Huaguo Mountain.
The ginkgo tree at the top of the peak, already growing strong, stands on the top of Huaguo Mountain, looking down on the endless land at your feet.
