Chapter Eighty-Seven: Choice

Although Su Chou has not been squatting in his room all the time and not coming out much, it is very simple to find him.

Just go where there are the fewest people.

When Jinxiu found him, he was patrolling the town of Xihua.

Compared to the main city, there were countless casualties, and the people in the villages and towns were better, and when the demon clan attacked, they mainly came to occupy the main city of Cold Water City, although it didn't disturb the villages and towns along the way, but it didn't have much impact.

It's just that because of the tragic situation in the main city, some people who were originally reluctant to leave also began to waver, and they were preparing to leave Coldwater City.

The people of Xihua Town have almost gone, and now there are ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and the rest of the people are all old people, who boast that half of their bodies have been buried in the soil, and they are not afraid that they will die when the demon clan comes.

Su Chouyi was also followed by a young man in ink with a mask on half of his side, who seemed to be talking to him about something, and subconsciously stopped when he saw Jinxiu coming.

Su Chou glanced sideways, then turned his head slightly sideways and swept to the young man with the corner of his eye and said, "I know, you go and do your own thing first." ”

The ink-clothed boy only arched his hand, and then left without any other movements.

Jinxiu paused from afar, watched the young man leave, and then came to Su Chouyi's side, knowing that this person didn't like to talk in a roundabout way, so he asked directly: "Before, I saw that General Su seemed to know a lot about the Nirvana Heart Sutra, but now Miss Shen has some problems, and I want to ask the general one or two." I don't know, is it convenient?"

The so-called inconvenience is actually just asking if the other party is willing to answer.

Su Chouyi's expression did not change as always, and when he heard this, he lowered his head slightly and said, "I have told her everything I know." ”

That she naturally refers to Shen Yan.

"The Nirvana Heart Sutra is not easy to practice in the first place, and whether it can succeed or not can only depend on the will of heaven. Providence has allowed your human race to perish, so there is only one way to go......"

When he said this, Su Chouyi's mouth seemed to bring a shallow smile. There was not much warmth in the laughter, but it was full of mockery.

Jinxiu couldn't help frowning when she heard him say this.

"At that time, the demon race ruled this continent for more than 100,000 years, and although the human race had a difficult time under its hands, it still survived. I'm sure we'll be able to get through this time. ”

"Really?" Su Chou once again returned to his expressionless posture, and the two words of the rhetorical question were also plain and indifferent. After a pause, he asked, "Shen Yan, what's going on?"

Jinxiu said: "After the fourth Nirvana, Miss Shen entered the bottleneck and was unable to enter the fifth Nirvana. Among the people I know, there is only one guest in the city, General Su, who has a deeper understanding of the Nirvana Heart Sutra. I have already sent a letter to ask in the city, but Luo Jin has not yet sent a letter back in the city, so I can only ask General Su first. ”

Whether Shen Yan can succeed in becoming a god is related to the survival of the human world. Such a big event, I can't afford to let Jinxiu not care about it.

Su Chou put his hands into his sleeves and said, "The nine Nirvanas of the Nirvana Heart Sutra correspond to people's fear, grief, obsession, fearlessness, greed, anger, love, letting go, and tolerance. Shen Yan once experienced the grief of the destruction of his family and the fear of being hunted down and killed, and was later taken into the door by Bai Zhi to be sheltered by him and wanted to relieve his fearlessness and obsession...... All of these allowed her to easily complete the previous four Nirvana. But the latter ones have never experienced it personally, so naturally they can't empathize, so how can they talk about the success of Nirvana?"

When Jinxiu heard this, she pursed her lips and asked, "Then is there a way to solve this matter?"

"Naturally, there is a way. But...... It's dangerous, and if you're not careful, you'll have to die. Su Chou said this, stretched out his right hand and spread it out, and a dark bead suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand. "This is a mirage, and it contains the mirage of a mirage, and anyone who touches it will fall into the illusion of the mirage. The illusion of the mirage is enough to confuse the real and the false, and the person with a strong heart can use it to sharpen himself, and if the person is not strong-minded, he will only get lost in the illusion, and finally become the nourishment of the mirage. ”

There is a word in Middle-earth called mirage, that is, the illusion created by the mirage, which is intended to lure people who do not know the truth to come, and finally lose their lives in beautiful illusions.

Yunfu Tiancheng is located in the sea of clouds and mist, Jinxiu has grown up there since childhood, and has also seen the appearance of mirages with his own eyes, so he is naturally very aware of the danger of mirages. It is indeed like what Su Chouyi said, it is naturally possible to temper one's mind, but even if a person with a high level of cultivation is concerned, as long as he does not pay attention to it, he will lose his life.

In this way, do you want Shen Yan to take a risk?

Jinxiu was a little undecided.

When Su Chou saw him like this, he said, "If Shen Yan really died because of this, it was just that her strength was not good." Wouldn't it be enough to find someone who can practice the Nirvana Heart Sutra? What the human world needs is not Shen Yan, but a god. Isn't it?"

Jinxiu didn't answer, he hung his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and it seemed that he was just losing his mind for some reason.

Su Chou let the mirage ticket in his hand come to Jinxiu's face, and continued: "I'll give you the things." As for how to choose, if you want to come to Yunfu Heavenly City, the young city lord doesn't need me to teach a snake demon, right?"

When he had finished speaking, he turned and left.

Jinxiu was still standing there, as if she hadn't come back to her senses, but she seemed to be in a dilemma because of something.

Stretching out his hand, the mirage shone and fell into his palm. Obviously, it is only a bead that is smaller than a dragon's eye, but it still has a certain weight when it is held in the hand. However, it is not as cold to the touch as it seems, but rather has a subtle but unobtrusive warmth.

Jinxiu put away the mirage, but still hasn't left here. He looked up at the direction in which Su Chouyi's figure disappeared, and the light in his eyes was dim and inexplicable.

Su Chouyi has long been gone, and the streets that used to be crowded with people are also empty at the moment, revealing a sense of depression.

Returning to the City Lord's Mansion in Cold Water City, Murong and the others were still outside and did not come back. The city lord's mansion is also like Xihua Town, it is empty everywhere, and it is easy to see no one at all.

About a few hours later, Hengjia came in from outside, and when he saw Jinxiu, his eyes lit up: "Young City Lord, are you back?How about it, have you asked General Su about what he wants to ask? Did he say anything?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked several questions. In fact, I didn't know much about what Jinxiu wanted to ask Su Chou before, but I just asked when Jinxiu went out before, knowing that the other party was looking for Su Chou to ask something.

After hearing him ask such a series of questions, Jinxiu felt less depressed in her heart, and shook her head with a helpless smile: "You asked me so many questions at once, which one do you want me to answer?"

Hengjia touched the back of her head and smiled, "Just answer the last one." "Anyway, only the last one is the focus of the matter.

Jinxiu sneered out laughing and said, "Although he gave me an answer, now I am hesitant to do it. ”

With a look of curiosity on her face, Hengjia asked, "What is the answer?"

Jinxiu sighed and told him about the conversation between herself and Su Chouyi.

Hengjia scratched her head a little distressedly and said, "This is indeed a problem. But the young city lord ........ What kind of Nirvana Heart Sutra can only be practiced by Miss Shen Yan?" "When he came, Shen Yan had already left Hanshui City and gone to Guguan Mountain, so he didn't know much about this person who had only heard of it in everyone's mouth. It's just that it can be seen that the young city lord Jinxiu has a good impression of her, so he can't say anything unkind.

However, even if he didn't say that he actually agreed with Su Chouyi's sentence, that people who died because they were not strong enough to find someone else to continue practicing the Nirvana Heart Sutra, what they said still made Jinxiu stunned.

It's not that Jinxiu has never thought about this problem, but because the Nirvana Heart Sutra was given to Shen Yan by Xuan Yue personally. This exercise is also a method of cultivating the gods, so it is tacitly assumed that only the inheritors selected by Xuanyue can be qualified to cultivate. Not to mention......

"Have you forgotten what the senior in the city said?"

Hengjia touched her head and said, "Of course I haven't forgotten this." "City Lord Jin Ze personally ordered that all the people up and down Yunfu Heavenly City should respect the guest who suddenly appeared more than he respected him, and that person had not appeared on the Jiuyue Tower since he appeared in Yunfu Heavenly City. It also leads to the fact that there is such a person as well as not having this person. And the first order after appearing was to let Jinxiu bring people to the Dafu Empire to help Shen Yan successfully become a god.

At the beginning, Jinxiu only came with the goal of completing the task, but with these things that happened later, he changed his initial thoughts and sincerely hoped that Shen Yan could cultivate the Nirvana Heart Sutra to the realm of the last nine Nirvana.

What Su Chou said is actually not unreasonable, the world needs the existence of a god, not Shen Yan. Without her, it could also be Li Yan, Zhao Yan, Wang Yan or someone else. However, he also knew very well that Shen Yan's failure to succeed so smoothly did not mean that it would be smooth if he was replaced by someone else. Otherwise, as the creator of the Nirvana Heart Sutra, if she could successfully cultivate and become a god, how could she be beaten as a demon and suppressed under the Bliss Wasteland later?

No, the same can't be said either. The goddess Mingyue is a real god, isn't it also rumored by humans to be a demon god and sealed on the Feiyu Peak of Taixuanzong?

"Don't talk about this anymore. "Jinxiu is worried that the senior in the city will give such an order, maybe Shen Yan is not so ordinary, and it will be bad if Hengjia violates any taboos because of this. Although it seems that the senior is not a bad character, they don't have much contact with each other, and they can't really confirm that the other party is harmless.

I don't know what my dad is thinking?

Thinking of this, Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Hengjia hurriedly asked, "Why did the young city lord suddenly sigh." In my opinion, just follow what General Su said, let Miss Shen Yan use the mirage. We told her the pros and cons in advance, and it shouldn't be so easy to get lost in the illusion of the mirage. I've heard from others before, Shen Yan seems to have experienced many illusions, and even the different space created by the gods can successfully come out in the end, just a mirage illusion, and she should also successfully come out. ”

"I hope so. Jinxiu's hand held the mirage bead he got from Su Chouyi, and he still couldn't make up his mind.

In the end, he still decided to leave the matter to Shen Yan to make his own choice.

Whether others are for her good or what, they are always acting on behalf of her, and whether they accept the use of mirage or not, it is the most correct thing for Shen Yan to choose by himself.

Hengjia saw that the young city lord had figured it out, so he didn't stay any longer, and arched his hand and quit to do things.

After writing a letter with a pen in her hand, Jinxiu took out the mirage and looked at it for a while, and finally made up her mind and put it into the letter.

The letter turned into a white crane and flew in the direction of Guguan Mountain, and gradually disappeared.

Fu Yang Immortal Jun's voice rang in his ears: "The young city lord seems to be worried about something?"

Jinxiu turned around and didn't say anything about Shen Yan, but said, "I'm just worried about whether the demon clan will choose to attack when reinforcements haven't arrived yet." ”

"This matter really needs to be worried," Fu Yang Xianjun held his jade flute in one hand, and raised his other hand to brush a strand of hair floating on his chest. After saying this, he paused for a moment and continued: "What should come will come eventually. No matter how worried the young city lord is, he can't change anything. It is better to take advantage of the present to do more arming to make up for the lack of manpower. ”

Jinxiu nodded: "I naturally understand this. Immortal Jun and take care of himself, I have other things to do, so I will leave first. ”

Fu Yang Xianjun nodded his head slightly, and he responded. He stood there and watched the back of the other party leaving in a hurry, and the smile gradually faded between his warm faces.

When he wasn't smiling, Fu Yang Immortal Jun seemed to be a little more cold.

Su Chou didn't know when he was standing beside him, glanced at the corner that disappeared around the corner, and then retracted his gaze and said calmly: "I have already given him something." ”

"Just give it. Fu Yang Xianjun said indifferently, and asked again: "Lord of the Red Mansion, is there any new news coming?"

Su Chou said: "Yes." The demon clan will gather again to siege the city three days later, and this time, they also dispatched the men in the territory of Beiqingyu. The black-robed priest, who is said to be able to see through all the art of disguise, will also follow. ”

When Fu Yang Immortal Jun heard this, he paused for a moment before he said, "Spread this news to Murong and the young city lord." ”

Su Chou said: "I know." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Fu Yang Immortal Jun to say anything more, he turned around and left this place.

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
