Chapter 461: Xiao Xiang Long Go
Xiao Tianhe's plan to break the reincarnation once again "unexpectedly" and "destined" failed, and it seems that the You brothers cannot avoid the fate of "dying in the second layer" in every reincarnation. Xiao Tianhe sat weakly on the ground, covering his head, in pain. He Tianyao and the others gathered around him, asking and comforting in a low voice of concern, but how could they understand the pain in Xiao Tianhe's heart when they were not in reincarnation?
"Isn't there a way to solve the current dilemma?" Xiao Tianhe asked himself in his heart, "What if you told the two seniors not to choose the red gate when you first entered the second floor...... No, no! First, the Lonely Road of the Sea of Fire will separate everyone, and let others not choose the red gate, which will be suspected of taking treasures; second, when it comes to the matter of the three-color gate, Shang Xingjie and they will definitely have doubts, and the reason for 'dreaming' may not be able to prevaricate in the past...... What can I do?" he thought about it, the more confused he felt, and his headache split.
"Hey, little brother, now that those two are dead, can we take the treasure armor?" Xiang Zhongyang walked over and asked Xiao Tianhe.
Xiao Tianhe raised his head and looked at him, and then looked at the entrance of the cave, Zhou Wenxuan and Shang Xingjie were ready to go, ready to rush into the cave as soon as Xiao Tianhe said "yes", and immediately rushed into the cave to compete for the treasure armor.
Xiao Tianhe suddenly wanted to know the result of the "master's dream", after all, the method of opening the door of the Burning Heaven Palace, "dream", was "trusted". "By the way......" Xiao Tianhe stood up suddenly, he almost forgot that things hadn't developed to a dead end!, "The yellow gate that you all chose, right?" he asked.
Everyone nodded.
"Since we have chosen the yellow gate, it means that we are not eligible for the armor. Therefore, once you touch the armor, you will be struck by lightning. ”
"However, isn't it written on the red gate, 'Exchange the souls of two people for treasure armor'? Now two people are dead......" Zhou Wenxuan was a little puzzled.
"Only those who choose the red gate and do not die are eligible to get the armor, and the two conditions are indispensable. If you don't believe me, I can touch the armor and show it to you. "Xiao Tian Dao.
Everyone was stunned. After a long time, Shang Xingjie looked up to the sky and laughed, pointing at Xiao Tianhe Road: "What a clumsy lie! Do you think we are fools? Since you are so sure that you will die if you touch the treasure armor, then why do you dare to touch the treasure armor to show us first? It is obvious that you want to take the treasure armor for yourself!"
Xiao Tianhe was very calm in the face of doubts: "Believe it or not." If you're not afraid of death, you can grab the armor. ”。
Shang Xingjie was speechless, whether it was Xiao Tianhe's tone of speech or the look on his face, it didn't seem like he was telling a lie.
Xiao Tianhe ignored him anymore and strode into the cave with his head held high. The three emperors looked at each other and followed him in disbelief.
"Tianyao, I didn't figure it out, I believe he was telling the truth, so why did he still touch the treasure armor?" Ye Linglong really sweated for Xiao Tianhe.
"It's not just you, I'm afraid everyone hasn't figured it out, right?" Hua Qingyu said.
He Tianyao frowned, he always felt that Xiao Tianhe had become strange after the inexplicable drunkenness outside the Heavenly Palace after self-immolation. "Brother Tianxiao must have his intentions in doing this. Anyway, let's take a look. ”
Xiao Tianhe led everyone to the entrance of the cave at a high place, and this time the treasure armor was still in a wooden box.
Xiang Zhongyang whispered to Shang Xingjie: "He is right about the treasure chest. ”
Shang Xingjie was still looking at Xiao Tianhe's back suspiciously.
Zhou Wenxuan suddenly remembered the sentence that Xiao Tianhe didn't finish, so he asked, "Brother Xiao, didn't you say, 'You can try it with a stone first'?"
Xiao Tianhe nodded silently. Now that the You brothers are dead, even if there is a ban on it, what can they do? The cycle is still continuing. The only way to break this cycle is to die yourself.
Xiao Tianhe slowly stretched out his hand towards the treasure chest. The three emperors also slowly approached at the same time. "If you get closer, you'll be severely injured by lightning strikes. Although Xiao Tianhe didn't look back, he still knew the situation behind him. The three emperors hesitated and retracted their feet.
"Bet on it!" Xiao Tianhe closed his eyes. At this moment, a scream was faintly heard in the distance. Xiao Tianhe raised his head suddenly, looking out through the entrance of the cave, but the high mountains and peaks were stacked on top of each other, and he couldn't tell where the scream came from.
His unusual behavior also attracted the attention and suspicion of others. "What's wrong with you?" asked Xiang Zhongyang.
"Didn't you hear?" Xiao Tianhe turned around, but what he saw was a blank face.
As soon as the words fell, a second scream sounded again. This time, it was louder and more majestic than the first sound, like a morning bell and a dusk drum, echoing in the ears and reverberating in the heart. Xiao Tianhe only felt that the voice had a strange power, which made his blood boil, and all the previous anxieties, sorrows, frustrations, and losses were all swept away, and the feeling of enlightenment filled his heart, but the scene in front of him seemed to be a little blurry, both illusory and real. Gradually, the screaming subsided, Xiao Tianhe rubbed his eyes, and everything returned to normal. He was pretty sure he had heard that voice before.
"Haven't you heard?" Xiao Tianhe asked again.
Shang Xingjie was quite dissatisfied: "What did you hear, don't make a fool of yourself!"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the voice of the dragon's chanter. Xiao Tianhe seemed to be answering, and he seemed to be talking to himself. Everyone's eyes looked at Shi Potian in unison.
The dragon flute can be called the "battle horn" of the scales, and it is as famous as the phoenix flute of the feathers. As the people of the demon world know, the dragon flute and the phoenix flute are extremely solemn items, once they are blown, it means that the scales and feathers will attack with all their might. During the battle of the Soul Hunting Slope, the dragon flute once resounded in the sky, and Xiao Tianhe was very impressed by its voice.
Since the dragon yin flute is an important thing for the scales to urge the war, of course, it is on the body of the ministry master Shi Potian. However, Shi Potian was at a loss for the second monk at this time, he neither blew the dragon flute, nor did he hear its whistling.
"Hey, are you hallucinating? Isn't the dragon flute here?" Shi Potian raised his hand, holding a three-foot-long flute in his palm. Xiao body pass
The body is the color of white jade, and it is carved with dragon patterns.
"The dragon chanting flute did sound twice, and it can't be wrong. Xiao Tianhe didn't doubt the "Shi Potian" in front of him at all, the voice of the dragon chanting flute was very long, obviously not coming from a close distance. "If it's not this Shi Potian, then it's really Shi Potian......" Xiao Tianhe was overjoyed, things were as he expected, everyone fell into their own reincarnation! This is equivalent to everyone being isolated, and the companions encountered in reincarnation are all illusions! But the sound of the dragon chanting flute can penetrate the isolation, and it is really a strange thing!
"Wait a minute, how many times did you say the dragon flute sounded?" Shi Potian suddenly asked nervously.
"Two sounds, one short and one long, what's wrong?" Xiao Tianhe didn't know why he was so excited.
Shi Potian's face was worried: "You listen carefully, is there a third tone, if the third tone is longer, it will not be good." ”
Xiao Tianhe's heart sank: "Why is it not good?"
Qu Xingxuan was suddenly happy, and said with a smile: "Boy, don't care. Although there are rumors that 'the three howling dragons are not born', no one has heard of it so far. Then, he said to Shi Potian: "You didn't blow it, what's wrong?
"What does 'the three howling dragons are not born' mean?" Xiao Tianhe became more and more curious.
"That's an ancient precept that our Dragon Ancestor passed down after he made the Dragon Yin Xiao:
'This flute keel is made,
Accompany me on the expedition.
Ren Er's immortals and demons are chaotic,
The three howling dragons are not born. ’
It means that when the dragon flute is played three times in succession, all the people who hear the scales must put life and death aside, and show the body to follow one after another, and destroy the enemy together. The lords of the dragon clan in the past generations have strictly followed the words of the dragon ancestor and passed on the method of blowing three times in a row from generation to generation. Fortunately, there has never been a danger that requires three consecutive blows. Shi Potian explained.
"If the third sound is blown at this time, what does it mean?" Xiao Tianhe forcibly suppressed the agitation of his mood and asked calmly. Because just after Shi Potian finished speaking, the dragon flute was really blown for the third time!
"'The three howling dragons are not born' means that the dragon clan and even the entire scale will fight to the death. Therefore, when the dragon flute sounded for the third time, it must be at an extremely critical juncture......" Shi Potian said, but the figure gradually blurred, Xiao Tianhe opened his eyes wide to see clearly, but everything in front of him began to rotate and distort, and soon turned into a virtual shadow. Countless points of light accompanied by the high-pitched sound of flutes flew rapidly from top to bottom in front of him, and Xiao Tianhe even felt that the ground under his feet was sinking, and his body became light and fluttery. Suddenly, a white light flashed, and then the light faded away, and finally turned into a bright moon hanging in the sky.
Everything around was restored to clarity. Xiao Tianhe found himself standing in a vast wilderness, and the companions beside him also seemed to have just regained their consciousness. Everybody, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what's going on.
This is obviously not outside the Burning Heaven Palace. Xiao Tianhe hurriedly counted the number of people, counting that there were eight of them. Among the nine people who broke through the third layer, only Shi Potian was missing. Thinking of the three dragon roars, a sense of uneasiness welled up in my heart.
"Alas......" Jin Chanyu suddenly sighed.
"Miss Jin, what does it mean to be 'three howling dragons are not born'?" Xiao Tianhe asked.
"So you've heard that, too. Jin Chanyu was slightly surprised, "'Three howling dragons are not born', which means that when the dragon chant sounds three times in succession, it means that the dragon clan has fallen into an extremely dangerous predicament, and at this time, the children of the dragon clan should forget about life and death, and fight bloodily, even if it is to die with the enemy." The dragon flute has a special method of blowing, which is recorded in a secret book of the dragon clan, and only the patriarchs of the dragon clan can read it. When a certain patriarch blows the third sound, he will surely die. ”
"What?" exclaimed in unison.
Zhou Wenxuan was incredulous: "It's really fake? I've never heard of a that can blow people to death!"
"It's not 'blowing people to death,' it's the people who blow the flute themselves to death. Shang Xingjie corrected.
Jin Chanyu explained faintly: "One blow of the dragon chant flute has no effect, but two blows need to consume a small half of the demon power, as for the third sound, it is the key to triggering the fierce battle state of the entire dragon clan, so it is necessary to show the body and gather all the demon power on the flute, once it is blown, it will inevitably die due to the exhaustion of demon power." ”
"What is the 'dragon chanting flute', it's almost ...... called the 'suicide flute'" He Tianyao shook his head and sighed.
"Tianyao!" Hua Qingyu snorted.
Jin Chanyu smiled bitterly: "He Gongzi is right. Blowing the dragon flute three times in a row is indeed equivalent to 'suicide'. However, the sacrifice of the patriarch of the dragon clan is not only a mental incentive for the children of the dragon clan, but in fact, it has released all the demonic power through the dragon chanting flute, improving the combat ability of all the scale demon clans, which can be imagined as setting up an invisible auxiliary magic circle in an instant. ”
"That Shibu master is gone now, because he blew the dragon flute three times, so he died?" Xiang Zhongyang was puzzled, "But why did he blow three times?"
Jin Chanyu said: "The dragon chant flute is made of the ribs of Lord Long Zu, and its voice is majestic and high-pitched, and anyone who listens to it will be excited. At the same time, it is also a sacred object that can awaken people from the fog. The first two flute sounds just now, although they affected the illusion, they did not break it. In the end, Brother Shi did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, and used the third flute sound that released all the demonic power to eliminate the illusion and help us get out of the endless reincarnation. ”
Everyone was silent. Reincarnation over and over again is too painful for anyone to think about.
Xiao Tianhe said sadly: "I thought that as long as the result of reincarnation was changed, reincarnation could break ......"
Jin Chanyu shook her head: "Didn't you find that no matter how you change, you will end up in the same place?"
"Of course I did. It was impossible to change the fate of others, so I decided to change my own. As long as you die at the level that you don't deserve, the result of reincarnation will be different. Just as I was about to try to touch the treasure chest on the second floor, the dragon flute sounded. "Xiao Tian Dao.
Shang Xingjie chuckled: "What are you doing so troublesomely, it's not easy to die? Aren't you carrying a weapon, to your neck."
Isn't it all over with a wipe?"
Xiao Tianhe was stunned, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I forgot ......"
Shang Xingjie didn't smile: "Heh, so, you still don't want to sacrifice from the bottom of your heart." ”
"Nonsense! Who is willing to sacrifice unless it is absolutely necessary?" Zhou Wenxuan helped Xiao Tianhe ridicule.
The ground in the wilderness shook gently, and a stone platform and a gate slowly rose from the ground. It seems that everyone has passed.
On the stone platform, a row of pill bottles stood neatly. No more, no less, exactly eight bottles.
Xiang Zhongyang walked over: "One bottle per person, no opinion, right?"
Hua Qingyu picked up a bottle, uncorked it, leaned in front of her nose and sniffed, and a faint fragrance wafted up. "I don't know what kind of pill it is, but judging by the smell, it should be medicine and not poison. ”
"I finally passed the test, if I gave a bottle of poison, it would really kill people. Zhou Wenxuan poured out the elixir, and rolled it into the palm of his hand, there was only one, about the size of a mung bean, yellow and clear, "Hey, it's so stingy!"
He Tianyao pulled Xiao Tianhe aside and whispered, "Brother Tianxiao, don't you think there's something wrong with Miss Jin?"
"Definitely. The death of one of the five masters of the demon clan is a big deal. She only sighed a few times regretfully. It turned out that Xiao Tianhe was also aware of it.
He Tianyao smiled: "Aren't you the same? Shi Master was the one you pulled into the Burning Heaven Palace, but now he is dead." How are you going to explain to Shi Haoming after you go out?"
"What about you, can you still laugh now?" Xiao Tianhe glared at him, "Actually, since you said 'Sister Zhao's death doesn't seem to be so simple', I've taken it seriously." Especially after entering the Burning Heaven Palace, your feelings have always been so accurate, I prefer to believe that the trip to the Burning Heaven Palace is really a 'test' rather than an 'adventure'. ”
"Then I have another good news for you: the previous feelings are getting stronger and stronger as we get closer and closer to the top. Now that the fourth floor has passed, there are still four floors. ”
"Isn't there only seven floors in the Burning Heaven Palace?" Xiao Tianhe said in surprise.
"I counted it before I came in, and there were eight floors. I feel that the eighth layer is the most mysterious place in the entire Burning Heaven Palace. He Tianyao said.
"Feeling...... Not. Xiao Tianhe didn't know what to say. has died so many companions one after another, and it is He Tianyao's so-called "feeling" that has been supporting him. No matter how difficult the current situation is, as long as there is hope ahead, we will not lose the courage to move forward.
After the bottle of pills for each person was put away, a person came out from behind the door. Hooded cloak, soul lantern, but at this time, there is one more soul fire in the lantern.
Xiao Tianhe stepped forward and said, "Should I call you 'Steward Meng', or 'Zhao Guide', or 'Master Zhang', or 'Chang Lao'?"
Steward Meng chuckled a few times in a hoarse voice: "It's okay." ”
"This layer is inevitably too hateful, if it weren't for that 'Dragon Yin Xiao', would we be trapped in reincarnation?" Zhou Wenxuan said angrily.
Steward Meng said slowly: "Reincarnation is the essence of the Taiyin layer. ”
Xiao Tianhe asked: "If we commit suicide in reincarnation, will we break reincarnation?"
"Dead in samsara, what awaits you will be 'nothing', that is, the void where nothing exists. "Steward Meng's words are like riddles, which are incomprehensible.
"Isn't it 'nothing exists' to be dead, this old man is just talking nonsense!" Shang Xingjie whispered to Xiang Zhongyang. The latter laughed.
Unexpectedly, Steward Meng seemed to hear this, and immediately raised the lantern in his hand: "When you die, your soul will ascend to heaven and dissipate." And 'nothing' is nothing, but the soul is still there. The eyes can't see anything, the ears can't hear anything, but the consciousness is very clear, like being trapped in an inescapable illusion, never being able to transcend life. ”
Xiao Tianhe shuddered when he heard this, but fortunately he didn't commit suicide in reincarnation.
"That's not right, the Lord of the Stone Department also died in reincarnation, why didn't he enter 'None'?" Ye Linglong asked, pointing to a lantern with an extra soul fire.
"He died because he exhausted his demonic power by playing the dragon flute, and at the same time pulled you out of samsara. It can be said that he broke the cycle of reincarnation. If you commit suicide in samsara, not only will it not be of the slightest help to others, but it will also cause your own reincarnation to be unable to continue because of the different endings, so what awaits the foolish suicide will be the stagnation of time and the collapse of space, that is, 'nothing'. Steward Meng explained.
