Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Year of the Kun (Three Watches)
"Who are you?"
Bai Ze's face changed slightly, and in his perception, this man in black was like a vast sea, unfathomable.
"My name is Kun Nian."
The man in black smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to be nervous, because we've seen it before." β
"When?"
"Two hundred years ago, the space mezzanine, the blood-colored fairy sword." The man in black said with a smile.
"You're the mysterious hand?!"
Bai Ze was taken aback, he was chased and killed by the blood-colored fairy sword back then, and there was no way to enter the heavens and the earth, thanks to the mysterious big hand to save him.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "The grace of saving my life should be repaid, if there is anything that Engong needs me to do, just ask." β
"You don't need to be called Engong, if you can afford me, just call me Brother Kunnian."
The man in black shook his head with a smile, and then said, "I just saved you back then, and I didn't think about anything in return, just like I saved them now, and I also did it easily." β
"Brother Kunnian." Bai Ze screamed, and then asked, "Where are my family members now?" β
"In the North Stygian Sea, inside a giant kun." Kunnian said.
"Northern Giant Kun?!"
Bai Ze thought of the Northern Hell Giant Kun he had seen when he was in a fugue, thousands of miles long, like a continent in water, and the sense of oppression was too strong.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of majestic mana was contained in such a huge existence.
It stands to reason that such a terrifying existence should not exist in the human world at all, and it will be expelled to the fairy world.
Kun Nian smiled mysteriously and said, "Let Brother Bai Ze see and laugh, in fact...... I'm the giant kun. β
"What?!"
Bai Ze's pupils contracted violently.
Kun Nian said: "To be precise, I am just the current spiritual intelligence of the giant kun, this giant kun does not know how many epochs it has existed in the North Stygian Sea, the physical body is immortal and immortal, but the spiritual wisdom cannot last forever, and now it has changed many generations, and the spiritual wisdom of each generation can only survive for tens of thousands of years." β
"And how many generations are you?" Bai Ze was dumbfounded and asked.
"Hehe, I don't know." Kunnian laughed at himself and said, "I belong to this shell, but this shell does not belong to me, it is eternal, and I am just a passerby." β
"Then can you survive the end of the Dharma era?" Bai Ze asked.
"I can't." Kun Nian shook his head: "When the era of the end of the law comes, my consciousness will dissipate, and the body of the giant kun will sink to the bottom of the sea, and when the next era comes, it will give birth to a new spiritual wisdom and resurface." β
"Hey......"
Bai Ze sighed, feeling sorry for the other party, and then said, "Brother Kunnian, is it convenient for you to take me to them now?" β
"Of course."
Kun Nian smiled and nodded, and then with a wave of his right hand, a mysterious energy spread out, and the bodies of the two disappeared.
Soon, the two came to the North Styx.
"Whoa-la-"
On the blue sea, a behemoth is swimming, and with a swing of its huge tail, it will set off a huge wave in the sea.
This is the giant kun of the Northern Underworld!
"Aangβ"
It tilted its head and opened its dark abyss-like jaw, sucking the two of them in.
And in the body of the giant kun, there is a world!
This world is endless, with mountains, rivers, meadows, plateaus, everything, and even a large number of animals live.
"Buzz!"
On the top of a fairy-like mountain, in front of the luxurious palace, Bai Ze and Kunnian appeared out of thin air.
"Sir!"
Shuiyu'er and Bai Yu rushed over excitedly, threw themselves into Bai Ze's arms left and right, and cried.
"Master, I thought I'd never see you again......"
"yes, those monsters are horrible, they scare me to death."
Zou Yan and Xiong Wanli also wanted to rush over, but seeing their rough appearance, they coughed twice and stood in place and smirked.
Bai Ze comforted the two girls who deliberately pretended to be weak and took the opportunity to be coquettish, and then said to Kun Nian: "Brother Kun Nian, thank you for your kindness!" β
"Hehe, it's just fate."
Kun Nian smiled, and then said, "Now that the outside world is infested with strange creatures, you can stay here for the time being, at least be safer." β
"Isn't that going to be too much of a hassle for you?" Bai Ze was a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, such a large inner world can't accommodate a few of you?" Kun young and waved his hand understatedly.
Bai Ze thought for a while and said, "Just stay here, I have to go out." β
"What do you want to do?" Kunnian asked.
Bai Ze said in a deep voice: "These strange creatures, we always hide and there is no way, if we let them continue to wreak havoc and devour living creatures, they will become stronger and stronger, and they will probably be completely out of control at that time." β
"Under the nest, will there be no eggs? I want to get rid of them once and for all, to eradicate them at the source. β
"Do you know where they come from?" Kunnian asked.
"It's just speculation, and it hasn't been confirmed yet." Bai Ze's eyes were a little evasive, and he was rarely a little weak-hearted.
He didn't want to talk to Kunnian about the sun!
Because he still remembers that Li Zijin once said three mythical stories - Bai Ze chasing the sun, Kunpeng swallowing the sun, and the North Hell.
According to mythological stories, the Kun Year will most likely swallow a sun at the end and eventually be burned to death by the sun's flames......
Maybe the trajectory of history can't be changed, no matter how to avoid it, sooner or later Kunnian will have this ending, but he doesn't want to bring such a disaster to Kunnian because of his mouth.
So he would rather face it himself than tell Kun Nian.
He seemed to understand what it meant to be Bai Ze day by day!
β¦β¦
It didn't take long for Bai Ze to be invited to the palace of the Great Summer Dynasty.
There was a rare excitement on Emperor Xia's face, and he said, "Brother Bai, sure enough, you guessed right, it is indeed the sun's problem!" β
"I asked the intelligence organization of Great Xia to collect and sort out the intelligence of the previous years, and finally determined that the appearance of strange creatures is closely related to the sun on the first day of September every year, and it is it that brings strange creatures."
Bai Ze's eyes narrowed when he heard this.
The first day of September!
This sun was all too familiar to him, it was the golden crow with a huge scar on its body, and it was suspected that it had been pierced by an arrow.
Bai Ze took a deep breath and said, "These strange creatures are not very strong at first, but after they land, they will continue to kill and become stronger, so the best way to deal with them is to strangle them in the cradle. β
"You mean, intercept them in the sky, just like you intercept dandelion seeds, and keep them from taking root?"
Emperor Xia said with a frown.
"Yes!" Bai Ze nodded, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "Before they become a climate, completely cut off their growth path, as for those who have already fallen to the ground and lurked, it is not too late to clean up when they emerge." β
"That's the best way to do it, but who knows when the sun will rain down the strange creatures? You can't keep chasing it, can you? β
Emperor Xia sighed and said, "Now the only people who can deal with strange creatures are the army and the Great Confucian, but they are all mortals in the flesh, and they can't catch up with the sun at all. Even if you let the cultivators fly with them, they can't do it, because then the speed is too fast, and it will exceed the limit of their body's endurance, and their body will be torn apart by the wind. β
Bai Ze looked at Emperor Xia with a sad face, and suddenly smiled: "Actually...... I can deal with weird creatures too. β
"What?!"
Emperor Xia, who has always been unfazed, was not calm on the spot.
Bai Ze raised his hands, and two bright flames ignited in the palm of his handβthe fire of red dust in his left hand, and the iron and blood of evil qi in his right!
"This ...... How is this possible?! β
Emperor Xia was completely shocked, a monster actually controlled two supreme forces unique to the human race, which was simply shocking.
"You can live forever, and I can't control a little special power?" Bai Ze smiled, he also exposed a secret, and the two evened out.
It took a long time for Emperor Xia to come back to his senses, and he said very uncalmly: "So, you plan to chase that sun in person?" β
"Hehe, who made me toil?"
Bai Ze smiled and waved his hand, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the main hall, his back gradually blurred, but a heroic voice echoed.
"In the future generations, there will be a myth and legend called Bai Ze chasing the sun!!"
