Chapter 25: That Step
There is a place to drink tea on the right hand side of the east gate of the provincial university, called the Eastern Time Zone, and there is a very vulgar painting hanging at the door of this place, which seems to be a boring combination of a skull and a dove of peace, and Lao Sha's words are written in English at the bottom.
“tobeornottobe,it’sstillaproblem。 ”
Yi Tianxing always remembered that the last word should be question, but he found that in this matter, the specific memory always seemed very vague.
The wind in the woods, with a strange sweetness, a bloody sweetness, poured into his nose and woke him up from his memories.
In front of him were five leaves, green and pure, coming through the wind, cutting out of the body, one by one, and destroying the soul - it was the same set of spells that Zhou Yi used when he first met him.
"What about be, no?"
The boy asked himself.
......
......
"Fuck you!"
He turned his palm into a knife and split it with a large mudra, and the edge of his palm glowed with a faint blue light.
The whistling leaves flew at the touch of a button, and the monk who was hiding behind the leaves only had time for a flash of incredulity in his eyes to slash his chest.
A puddle of blood, the master who was still alive and well before, turned into a lifeless bloody corpse.
The sun had already set, and the light in the forest was a little dim, and the pools of blood all over the ground had turned into dark sè, like Shura patrolling.
But there were still people who rushed towards Yi Tianxing without fear of life and death.
Yi Tianxing's face was expressionless, his right hand made a move in the air, grabbed a person's throat, and kicked out his left leg strangely, kicking a thick tree away and killing the person hiding behind the tree.
The right hand tightened, then loosened again, and there was a cracking sound, and the man in his hand fell to the ground.
"The most vulnerable thing for monks is their **. ”
Yi Tianxing lowered his head slightly, looking at the dead corpse under his feet, his body was covered with blood, and he looked like a grim reaper patrolling the pile of dead people on the battlefield.
For some reason, the young man in the killing field today is different from usual, although his face is calm, the corners of his eyebrows and the blue tendons on his forehead that keep shaking prove the strong fluctuations in his inner emotions.
Now he didn't use the Heavenly Fire Method, but just relied on his inhuman strength and Dao tricks to deal with these people - it was not appropriate to say that he was circling, and it should be a one-sided slaughter.
The side that made the shot obviously still had an assessment of his strength on the impression of Jiang Cheng, or even the impression of the Chengdong Battlefield seven months ago.
That's why that side risked a lot of trouble, and in this important place, the human immortal valley rashly attacked-I thought it was an assassination of smashing tofu with an iron fist, but it would only take a moment to end it-I didn't expect the fist to hit the ground, and the blood flowed and broken.
Yi Tianxing's body Dao Lotus has bloomed to the maximum and is in full bloom, and the Fire Jade Life Wheel, which has been held steady, has also begun to rotate rapidly, and every time it is circled, it brings in a trace of Qingqing Dao Lotus into the wheel, just like the jade plate is dotted with a trace of blue leaves by the wonderful pen of the national hand.
It is a very beautiful and moving realm, but he feels extremely bored, and he knows the madness of the sea.
Another sword aura struck.
He seemed to have forgotten to use any Dao techniques, but simply stretched out his hand, and used his arm to forcibly connect a sword qi, marking a faint trace of blood, and his delicate fist also hit the opponent's chest, and his mouth was still nervously muttering:
"Pig jīng lean meat costs four yuan a catty, pork liver costs three yuan and twenty-one catty, pig blood seven dimes a catty, and blood is the cheapest. ”
He withdrew his hand, and the man fell to his knees with a scream, a large hole in his chest, and blood gushed out, wetting the placket of his chest.
......
......
Looking at Yi Tianxing's lonely back walking into the woods, Qin Linchuan by the stream had a strange feeling, as if the young man in front of him seemed to be too far away from the world.
A lot of uneasiness came to his heart, and he used his whole strength, frowned slightly, formed a complicated and abnormal trick in his right hand, opened his lips slightly, and drank, "Stop!"
With this shout, a pure-hearted Taoist aura crossed Yi Tianxing's body, trying to calm him down.
Stretching out his feet to the stream, the xīzàng lama sitting below also gently shook his left hand, with a faint aura of compassion, and spread out to the field with the prayer wheel of his left hand.
Yi Tianxing stopped but didn't look back, tilted his head slightly, and suddenly sighed after a while: "I know I'm a little weird today, but it's very sad...... I seem to be able to do what I want to do only when it's like this. ”
"Are you sure killing is what you want to do?"
Qin Linchuan asked.
The lama at the foot of the stream gently shook the prayer wheel, making a slight noise.
Yi Tianxing tilted his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally shook his head slowly and sighed helplessly.
After sighing, his tail finger curled, and a golden and glamorous heavenly fire turned into a sword, and suddenly rose out from his sharp fingertips, piercing somewhere in the forest tops.
One person was scorched black, and without uttering a cry of death, he fell to the ground.
Yi Tianxing's eyebrows suddenly trembled, as if he was enduring some kind of pain in his body.
The twitching of the eyebrows looks funny, but in such a Shura field, funny actions often mean very sinister results. The shaking was like flowing water that never ended, and I don't know how long it took, he finally endured it and sighed: "Taking advantage of the fact that I have become a little weird this time, I have to kill a few people quickly, otherwise when I come back to my senses, I won't be able to make it again." ”
Talking about murder is not different from a clear mind.
The sober consciousness floated in the furious sea of consciousness, like a lonely boat.
"I see that the aggregates are empty. ”
A sutra sounded faintly in his consciousness, and he knew very well that as long as he carried the Heart Sutra at this time, he would definitely be able to wake up from this violent emotion - but he would not - he had endured it for a year, but he could not bear a result, and the unknown fate was firmly entangled in his body like a shackle, making him uneasy for a moment.
The words of the great layman were like a spark of fire, which suddenly ignited the fire that he had suppressed for a long time.
"Can killing people solve the problem?" Qin Linchuan's eyes drooped slightly, his clothes were windless, his right hand was lightly hanging to his side, and he slowly pinched a trick.
Yi Tianxing caught a glimpse of it, knowing that this fettered Taoist master was finally about to make a move, he couldn't help but smile and responded: "I finally found a trace of Chen Shuping's feeling at this time. It's been a year, I've been putting up with it for a year, and I'm just thinking about some peace. He paused and said, "I am a poor man who is going to fight with the gods in the future, can I live a happier life in the world?"
The killing intent shrouded the valleys, the floating clouds gradually disappeared, the sun shone on the wall, and the blood was red, like a fight.
While speaking, Yi Tianxing killed four more people, and there were almost no survivors in the forest.
One fell heavily in front of him, his throat hocking, but he could not die for a while.
Yi Tianxing's face was full of compassion, his eyes were glowing with golden light, and he walked gently.
......
......
The wind moves like water, the water moves like clouds, and the clouds move uncertainly.
And Yi Tianxing's slowly raised foot...... But in this breeze and clear water, he froze, and he didn't move, as if he had been cast some kind of magical spell, and suddenly he was out of the control of time, no matter how hard he tried, the toes were always moving forward in the moment, and he could never touch the land he wanted to touch.
All movement in the valley stopped in an instant.
Qin Linchuan's right hand flexes its fingers, from the thumb slightly bent to the index finger to the finger...... The fingers fluttered, pinching the noon lines continuously.
He pinched seven, and the trick revealed a wonderful realm—the condensation of everything in the valley, including himself.
Yi Tianxing next to the forest maintained the posture of raising his feet, Qin Linchuan above the stream stood with his eyes closed, and the prayer wheel of the big lama's hand on the bank of the small pool stopped rotating, and the slightly concave handwriting engraved on the prayer wheel was faintly shiny and transparent.
......
......
The battle is coming to an end, but for some reason, Qin Linchuan chose to make a move at this time.
In the depths of the heart of this first person in the world, he was faintly uneasy, and he didn't want Yi Tianxing to kill the last person in front of him. It seems that this living soul has a great impact on the general trend, and the feeling of darkness, the life and death of this last person, for Yi Tianxing's fate, is like the last straw on a dying camel, like the last window in the direction of smoke seeping out, but I don't know whether the result is good or bad.
So he simply chose to stop it.
......
......
Yi Tianxing's eyes looked through his eyelashes and quietly looked at the air in front of him.
For some reason, he was so eager to take a step.
Therefore, he forcibly carried the Heavenly Fire Life Wheel, and the red jade plate in his belly was quickly transferred, and there was a hissing sound faintly in the sea of knowledge, and the pieces of green lotus had been torn off some emerald green threads before, and at this time they were even more stirred up in a green mess.
The toes moved slightly, and they were an inch closer to the ground.
Qin Linchuan was counterattacked by the Dao force, and his face turned slightly white.
The prayer wheel of the lama's hand also slowly turned a grid, and this grid pointed a line of scriptures directly facing Yi Tianxing's body.
The scripture showed its handwriting in the sunset.
"Ananda do not be troubled, I am in the future tense"
In Tibetan Buddhism, seeing the prayer wheel is like seeing the Buddha.
Yi Tianxing, who was originally slightly mobile, suddenly felt a strange force enveloping him, but this force was so familiar with himself, he couldn't give birth to half of the enemy's power, compassionate, soft, soft, and gently surrounded.
Qin Linchuan's knuckles also moved slightly at this time, his nails pinched the noon lines of his ring finger, and a pure Taoist aura bound Yi Tianxing's whole body.
Yi Tianxing's toes of the next inch condensed in the air.
With a bang, the heavenly fire in his body no longer had any strength, and with a soft pop, his clothes shook, and the fire yuan was exposed, and the large area of grass was suddenly burned and yellowed.
The three top masters in the cultivation world, each restrained each other with abundant jīng wonderful cultivation in the silent valley, time is like water but gradually frozen, and no one can move a bit.
At this moment, the sound of birdsong was heard above the valley, so that it was not noisy.
If the three of them could look up, they would see a flock of birds of different shapes flying into the valley.
――――――――――――――――――――
When talking, fighting, and fighting were going on in the mountains behind the building, the garden party in the lobby on the first floor of the building was still open.
No one knew what was going on a few kilometres from the happy venue.
Candles lined up in long rows, like a burning white line. The garden party prohibits everyone from exercising cultivation, otherwise the Taoist magic will fly around in this venue, and I am afraid that it will be a mess, so everyone puffs out their faces like frogs and blows vigorously.
Zou Leilei took Yi Zhu's hand and watched with interest in the company of Qin Qi'er and Xu Jin.
Yi Zhu stepped forward crookedly and blew lightly.
No one noticed that the silver strand of his hair moved slightly.
The candle was completely extinguished.
None of the subordinate staff knew who the real identity of this little guy was, but they thought it was the family member of the Buddhist Protector, and when they saw him easily blow out the candle, they applauded.
Zou Leilei smiled sweetly, took the prize from a woman's hand, and stuffed it into Yi Zhu's arms.
It's a big, fluffy bear.
"Mom, take me out for a while. Yi Zhu looked at Zou Leilei, and her eyes seemed a little tired.
Zou Leilei's heart softened for no reason, and she felt strong pity, gently took the little guy's soft little hand, and walked out of the building.
Qin Qi'er was worried about the safety of the mother and son, gave Xu Jin a signal, and walked out.
Walking all the way, Zou Leilei calmly let the little guy lead the way, I don't know how long she walked, and came to a forest.
Yi Zhu gently broke free of her hand, hugged the big fluffy bear, and walked to Lin Zizheng with a twist. The leaves in the forest have long since fallen, and the shallow layer on the ground is withered and blackened, and it is not good to look at it.
The big stuffed bear was not much smaller than the little one's body, and it hung crookedly in the crook of the little one's arm, its brown head slumped to the ground, and its eyes made of black glass beads looked very sad.
Yi Zhu raised his head and looked at the gray sky, the flesh behind his head was squeezed into a ball, and he looked very cute.
"Coo-goo. His reddish lips pursed, and he snorted softly.
There was a sound of flapping wings above the treetops, and a black crow flew over from nowhere, landing on the ground fifty meters away from Yi Zhu, with black wings on his back, and his eyes blazing at the little fat man on the woodland.
There was another sound of flight, and a bird, also with a black body, flew into the woods, but landed far on the ground, its tail feathers earlier than the crow, and its cooing and cooing, its feathers shaking, and it seemed to be terrified.
The sound of flapping wings kept coming.
Birds of different sizes flew into this small forest, near or far, standing proudly or arrogantly in the forest.
Grey-breasted Bamboo Pheasant, East China Ring-necked Pheasant, Guizhou Ring-necked Pheasant, Crested Wheat Grouse, Yellow-footed Three-toed Quail, Dong Chicken, Pearl-necked Turtledove, Red-winged Crested Bird, Four-Voiced Cuckoo, Great Cuckoo, Little Cuckoo, Common Nightjar, Short-billed Swiftlet, White-rumped Swift, Blue Emerald, Three-Treasure Bird, Hoopoe, Spotted Woodpecker, Black-naped Woodpecker, Brown-bellied Woodpecker, Star-headed Woodpecker, House Swallow, Golden-rumped Swallow, Hairy-footed Swallow......
Birds are standing all over the place!
They all looked at Yi Zhu who was in the woodland.
Zou Leilei, who was standing by the forest, put her hand on her waist trembled slightly, very nervous.
Qin Qi'er and Xu Jin, who were guarding them in the distance, were even more dumbfounded.
It's winter at this time, how can there be so many birds here in the provincial capital?
......
......
"Yi Zhu, come back!"
Zou Leilei didn't know what was going to happen, but she was very uneasy and afraid, and she always felt that something was going to happen to the child in front of her, seeing that Yi Zhu heard it as if she were unheard, she bit her lip and prepared to step into this flock of birds.
"Mom, don't come in. ”
Yi Zhu gently opened and closed his lips and said softly. He pointed to the second bird that had fallen into the woods and said, "Mom, that's the black cuckoo." ”
Zou Leilei suddenly felt that her eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a picture unfolding in front of her eyes.
A grey cuckoo bird takes advantage of the fact that the parents of the bird are out foraging, and sneakily enters the nest of the bird and lays its own eggs in the nest.
The cuckoo's eggs are bigger than the bird's eggs, and it's disgusting to look at.
The parents of the little birds did not know, but they patiently hatched, and finally one day, all the young birds broke out of their shells.
It is red, without a single feather, and the fresh meat is visible, while the young cuckoo is larger and looks more vicious.
The parents of the birds began to desperately bite the worms to feed their own children and the children of others.
The baby cuckoo eats a lot and can't eat enough.
The little cuckoo twisted his clumsy body, and with his reddish buttocks, he pushed the other birds off the tree!
With a soft cry of "ah", Zou Leilei closed her eyes, but found that the cruel story was still going on in front of her eyes.
The little bird that was pushed down the tree chirped cold, its voice weakened, and slowly died.
The little cuckoo is growing day by day, and it is several times larger than the body of the little bird's parents.
It made a strange cry, making its adoptive parents think that the bird was a flock of small birds.
With its red mouth open, it greedily expresses its hunger, grabbing the poor food that the little beak of the little bird parent has.
......
......
Peng's soft sound made Zou Leilei open her eyes.
The black cuckoo standing in the woodland was blasted into a puddle of bloody mud.
Yi Zhu stretched out a finger and pointed at that place from afar, standing in Lin Zizheng, without a trace of expression on his face, but the child's innocent eyes flashed with a trace of "old" haggardness.
This strange expression made Zou Leilei extremely heartbroken.
Yi Zhu's fingertips moved slightly, and he pointed to a bird with white feathers and a hidden meaning of dusting.
"Mom, this is a white stork, it's beautiful, isn't it?"
Zou Leilei faintly felt that the white stork was going to die again, and her lips couldn't help but dry a little, and she trembled slightly: "It's beautiful." ”
Yi Zhu suddenly pursed his mouth childishly, and seemed to be very aggrieved: "But it likes to eat other birds, and it is swallowed raw, and it looks ugly." ”
Zou Leilei saw it immediately.
On a tidal flat, a white stork with fairy feathers fluttering proudly walks among the birds.
Suddenly, it lowered its head and pecked at a small fluffy thing like lightning. Then a few other species of birds pecked angrily, desperately and fiercely ran away.
One moment he was a fairy, and the next he became a despicable and cold-blooded thief.
Running to a quiet place, the white stork grabbed the little fluffy thing, threw it into the sky, and then opened its beak, took it in its mouth, and swallowed it.
The little fluffy thing chirped desolate in the air, and writhed in the white stork's beak.
The white stork swallowed it, a disgusting bulge on its long, slender neck.
The bulge gradually slides downward.
The white stork chirped twice very pleasantly, buried its head under its wings, gently combed the white feathers, and reappeared in a fairy state.
......
......
Yi Zhu's finger pointed at the white stork: "You are very ugly." ”
The white stork suddenly kicked long, as if trying to get out of this terrifying atmosphere.
Another puddle of blood bloomed.
The graceful white stork is no longer elegant after changing into a puddle of blood and mud.
......
......
Yi Zhu lightly pointed to the bird in the field, pointed to one, and explained in a soft voice the reason why he hated it, and then turned it into a puddle of blood and mud.
Zou Leilei trembled and looked at the bloody scene in the field, suppressed her desire to vomit, and said as gently as possible: "But this is how they survive." ”
"I know, Mom. Yi Zhu's fresh eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he was enduring some kind of pain, "But I just hate this way." ”
"Who's going to help me stop this?" Zou Leilei whispered helplessly.
Someone passed by the forest, it was Qin Qi'er, who had been guarding behind, she had already discovered the abnormality in the forest, but under the shock, she didn't know how to deal with it, at this time, seeing Zou Leilei's incomparably weak appearance, her heart moved, and she mustered up the courage to rush to Yi Zhu.
As soon as she entered the forest, Qin Qi'er made a clear sigh and forcibly stopped her figure in the air, floating lightly in the air, as if she was afraid of some invisible force.
It's like there's an infinite number of thin lines that kill people.
Qin Qi'er's delicate figure dodged and churned within these lines, forced to get farther and farther away from Yi Zhu in the forest.
With a snort, Qin Qi'er's right leg crossed the air, but a big hole was cut by the invisible line, and blood was dripping.
She flipped lightly in the air, lit a leaf, and reluctantly retreated to the edge of the forest, her face pale.
At this time, she looked at the child holding the teddy bear in the forest, and there was only shock in her eyes.
......
......
Yi Zhu turned around with the big fluffy bear in his arms and looked at Zou Leilei pitifully.
"Mom, it's so bitter to be a bird, isn't it even more bitter to be a human being?"
Then he looked up stupidly at the sky.
For some reason, Zou Leilei's nose was sore, so she cried like this.
Then she went out into the woods. Even though there was a danger in the forest that she did not understand, her little one stood pitifully in the woods, so she had to go in and hold him.
After taking only one step, he felt a slight trip on his right hand, and then realized that the gold ring on the tail finger of his right hand was shining.
On the surface of the ring, a fiery red stick emerged from the sky and collapsed tightly.
Lei Lei knew that if it weren't for this finger, her finger would have been cut off by that trip just now.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the fear in her heart, raised her head again, and walked firmly towards the little one holding the big bear.
There was a slight fog in front of her eyes, and after the fog passed, her foreground changed, and she saw that the forest was full of colorful light.
There are thousands of red lines in the light, red like heavenly fire, and bright and bright.
On the other side of the red line, the red line connected to the hundreds of birds of different appearances in the forest, and the red thread that connected to the birds that had turned into blood and mud had been broken, and the thin ends were slowly floating in the air.
Thousands of red threads are stretched out from Xiao Yi Zhu's hands, spread and sprinkled, and the red is slight.
Zou Leilei carefully avoided these lines of fire.
Previously, Qin Qi'er sensed the power of these lines of fire and barely avoided them, but she was still injured.
Lei Lei gently lifted, turned, and bowed her head...... From these murderous invisible lines of fire passed through, the closer to Yi Zhu, the denser the red line became, and occasionally when it was rubbed, it would bleed, but she endured it and didn't cry out for fear of startling the little guy.
The little one stared at the sky with dementia at this time.
It's finally getting closer.
Zou Leilei endured the pain and hugged the chubby little guy into her arms.
There were a few snorts, and the line of fire exploded into a ball of fire.
A faint light curtain appeared on Zou Leilei's body, isolating the injury from her body.
Yi Zhu finally woke up from his previous loss of consciousness, and the thousands of burning red lines disappeared in an instant.
The little one seemed to be tired, and even the corners of his eyebrows drooped.
Zou Leilei gently hugged him and coaxed: "Be good, it'll be fine if you sleep." ”
Yi Zhu finally relaxed, returned to the child's innocent demeanor, subconsciously put his head on her soft chest and rubbed it, and said vaguely: "Mom, I'm still a human being." ”
Zou Leilei hugged the little one, her face was extremely holy, and the soft light poured down.
Qin Qi'er, who was in the distance, looked at this scene in the forest and couldn't help but think of the scene she saw in the small bookstore a few months ago.
There was a chirp.
Birds swept off the ground, whistling through the bare treetops, flapping their wings towards the secluded valley behind the building.
On the other side of the valley, Yi Tianxing's step still hadn't been taken.
