Chapter 61: Mysterious Paper
In the Huayan Domain, Manjushri also felt the stars disappear, and then a faint smile appeared on his face, as if this was exactly the result he wanted.
It's just that the only thing he doesn't know is that Emperor Ziwei's words about Zhou Cheng, in his eyes, Zhou Cheng is still an inconspicuous little person.
Then Manjushri sensed the death of the five arhats, and his face showed a slight look of pity, but then he became relieved again, as if the death of the five arhats in exchange for such a result was still within his tolerance.
Zhou Cheng felt the changes in the two inner pills of the Tiger Jiao in his body, and when he thought of what Zhou said just now, he already understood the true effect of these two inner pills.
It's just that the more he understands the role, the more uncomfortable Zhou Cheng feels in his heart.
Thinking of the way Zhou stood in front of him just now, protecting himself behind him, Zhou Cheng felt endless self-blame in addition to a deep sense of powerlessness.
He is not afraid of death, even if he knows that he will die, he also wants to die in front of Zhou.
In Zhou Cheng's heart, Zhou is always Zhou, his lord, and his brother.
And not some crape myrtle emperor.
Now Zhou Cheng already knows that Zhou Chu used the opportunity to achieve the Yuan Shen and return to the peak to renew his life, and even finally used the remnant soul to stimulate all his strength and create a chance for himself to live.
"These five relics are the last thing I can do for you, live well..... Only by living can there be hope...."Just as Zhou Cheng was about to get up and return to Jingyang, a circle of ripples suddenly rippled in the void in front of him, and then Zhou's voice came from inside, and then five relics the size of a fist fell to Zhou Cheng's feet.
Zhou Cheng casually put away the relics, and without hesitation, the imperial envoy flew the sword towards Jingyang, he already had a bad premonition in his heart, but he still returned to the previous battlefield regardless of it.
By the time Zhou Cheng returned again, most of the day had passed.
Before he landed on the battlefield, he saw from a distance that Qi Wannian's rebels were cleaning the battlefield, and the aura of the Buddhas and Arhats such as Zhou Di and Mahakala Ye in the perception had all disappeared.
Zhou Cheng couldn't care about being sad at the moment, and he didn't have time to think, but subconsciously he suddenly thought of a problem, that is, he had to return to Luoyang immediately.
Because Buddhism actually sent five Arhats to ambush and kill Zhou this time, then Qiao Yuwei, who has always been also valued by Buddhism, may be even more auspicious at this moment.
Zhou Cheng didn't dare to think about it anymore, he used all his strength to control the sword light, and galloped towards Luoyang again.
By the time Zhou Cheng returned to Luoyang, which was thousands of miles away, it was already half an hour later, and it had already rained heavily in Luoyang, and there were few pedestrians in the city, and the rain curtain shrouded the entire Luoyang City, and everything seemed so unreal.
Zhou Cheng's sword light fell in the Zhou Mansion, and the sight in his eyes made him feel like he had been struck by lightning.
The original Zhou Mansion has become a ruin, the houses have collapsed, the ground is charred, and I don't know when a fire has destroyed all of them.
"No....." Zhou Cheng had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only look up to the sky and roar, but his roar in the heavy rain only echoed in the ruins, and was soon drowned out by the rain.
Zhou Cheng stepped on the scorched ground and quickly rushed to Zhou and Qiao Yuwei's original bedroom, and at the same time, his divine thoughts spread throughout the Zhou Mansion.
It's just that no matter what you see or what your divine thoughts perceive, there is no one in the entire Zhou Mansion, not even a single corpse.
Zhou Cheng frantically searched everywhere, but there was nothing.
In the past, those traces related to Qiao Yuwei and Zhou Lan seemed to have been burned by the fire.
"I heard no, a huge lightning suddenly appeared in the sky over Luoyang City in the middle of the night the day before yesterday, and the lightning thundered directly in the palace of the imperial doctor, and a fire burned down the entire mansion in an instant, and when the fire was extinguished, no one in the mansion survived..... Alas, poor Zhou Fujun is still leading the troops outside!" "In Yingchuan City, south of Luoyang, some people in the tea shop are gossiping about the fire that happened in Luoyang two days ago.
"Huh?" A woman dressed in tight black was walking aimlessly outside the tea shop, and she overheard a conversation in the tea shop and suddenly stopped.
The names of Doctor Yu Shi and Zhou Fujun made her look change greatly.
Then no one noticed this woman, and her figure suddenly disappeared, but above the clouds of Yingchuan City, a blood-red sword light headed towards Luoyang.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening...... Zhou Cheng stood in the ruins, letting the heavy rain wash over him.
Zhou Cheng muttered to himself in despair, walking among the ruins like a walking corpse, at this moment his heart was no longer a monstrous hatred, but full of contempt for his own incompetence, as well as resentment for his own weakness.
Zhou Cheng has always felt that he is assisting Zhou, but it was not until this moment that he realized that he had been living under the wings of Zhou, in fact, he had never really grown up, and he was a person who could only stand behind his brother and be protected.....
"Uncle, don't make me wait too long....." Zhou Cheng's voice still echoed in Zhou Cheng's mind, and now he is back, but Zhou Lan is gone.
The memory will always stay at the moment when Zhou Lan turned around and ran away.....
Zhou Cheng couldn't imagine how his beloved niece died, but at this moment, he could clearly feel in his heart the despair of Zhou Lan before she died.
A black flame rose in Zhou Cheng's eyes, Qingping Sword Pill turned into an entity and was held tightly in his hand, his arm was raised slightly, Zhou Cheng put the blade on his neck, as long as he used a slight force, Qingping Sword could cut off his head.
"What I want in my life is nothing but a Dao heart at ease..... Live well.... Only by living can there be hope!" Just when Zhou Cheng's mind was lost, some words from Zhou Cheng in the past suddenly appeared in Zhou Cheng's mind.
"I can't die.... I want to live...."Zhou Cheng suddenly knelt heavily on the scorched earth, he lowered his head, and a resolute look gradually rose on his face.
If Zhou Cheng was still an ordinary person, he would definitely think about how to take revenge, but now he knew that there were immortals, there were Da Luo Jin Immortals, and even there were higher existences above Da Luo Jin Immortals.
Revenge will not be his main goal, how to resurrect these relatives is what he cares about the most, even if it is really just a glimmer of hope, he will spare no effort to pursue it.
"Huh?" Zhou Cheng's divine thoughts had been scattered among the ruins, and when he really regained himself, his divine thoughts also found some unusual abnormalities in his original small courtyard.
Zhou Cheng quickly got up and rushed to the small courtyard where he used to live, which was also destroyed by the fire, and there was not a single thing left of the things he had used before.
It's just that Zhou Cheng's divine mind found that among those pitch-black ashes, there were a few white objects the size of fingernails, as if they were fragments of paper that had not been completely burned out after it had been burned.
Zhou Cheng's divine thoughts wrapped around these pieces of paper buried under the ashes, and then several pieces of paper flew out of the ashes, all floating in front of Zhou Cheng.
Each piece of paper was the size of a fingernail, and there were seven pieces left, and each piece had a beautiful handwriting on it.
Zhou Cheng is very familiar with these words, these pieces of paper are the handwritten letters written by Qiao Yuwei and Zhou after the wedding night between Qiao Yuwei and Zhou when they were still in Yuhan County, and later gave Zhou Cheng a handwritten letter.
It was this character that made Zhou Cheng call his sister-in-law and brother, and then he completely integrated himself into this family.
"Take good care of it, if there is any damage, your brother and I will not spare you. Seeing these fragments, Qiao Yuwei's smile that day seemed to be vivid.
Seven pieces of shredded paper were suspended in front of Zhou Cheng, he had read these words many times, but the seven words that were randomly intercepted in the whole article now appeared separately, which seemed disorganized and meaningless.
However, Zhou Cheng had already memorized the article written by Qiao Yuwei, and when he saw the seven pieces of paper in front of him, he subconsciously read the article again in his mind.
"That's not right..... Is there something wrong with these words? What does it seem to imply?" Zhou Cheng silently recited the entire text, and the order in which these seven words appeared was rearranged according to their position in the text.
When the seven fragments were rearranged, the seven originally unrelated words formed a completely new sentence.
salty
suitable
see
poem
wen
wait
teach
"Xianyiguan, what kind of place is this?" Zhou Cheng was puzzled, his first reaction was that the first three words of this sentence should be a place name, but this name Zhou Cheng had never heard of.
It seems that this sentence is what clue Qiao Yuwei left for him, maybe if you find this place called Xianyiguan, you can find or resurrect Qiao Yuwei and even Zhou and others.
A glimmer of hope ignited in Zhou Cheng's heart, and after a while, he waved his hand and accepted the seven fragments. Then his body flickered, turning into a cyan sword light that pierced through the rain curtain, and soon disappeared.
Just a moment after Zhou Cheng left the ruins, a blood-red sword light broke through the rain curtain and also fell on the ruins.
The two sword lights were one after the other, only a moment apart, but they passed by.
The blood-red sword light on Gai Liniang's body disappeared, and she stood quietly in the rain and scanned the entire ruins, the rain slid down from her, but she couldn't get close to it from a distance of an inch.
Suddenly, Gai Liniang's eyes widened, and then a huge Yuan Shen who looked exactly like her, but with a momentum like an abyss and a sea, appeared, and after the Yuan Shen appeared, the five-colored divine light flashed in her eyes.
"The breath hasn't disappeared yet, and it seems that Brother Zhou has only left for a short time..... At the ends of the earth, Li Niang will find you!" Gai Li Niang's Yuan Shen just glanced at the ruins and immediately took it back, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief, and her face showed a look of joy and determination.
