Chapter 68: Gatekeeper ...... Black!
It's a fantastic space. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The whole space was black, there was nothing, as if a chaotic beginning to open, and the black space extended infinitely to the surroundings, boundless and endless.
Then, he woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at this wonderful world. Then, he said:
"It's so dark, isn't the light on?"
The whole space shook because of this sentence, and the black margin faded like a tide, replaced by a white expanse of light. And under this light, Xuan, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared in front of Ke Wang's eyes, with a pair of big black eyes and a smile, looking at the lazy man in front of him.
Ke Wang also looked at Xuan with a smile, he had already felt the magic of this space. Originally, he had experienced a lot of torture, and he had been hungry for a long time, and he had exhausted the immortal qi in his body, and finally even suffered from the anesthetic of the demon elder, so it can be said that his body and spirit have been weakened to the extreme. But since he woke up in this space, he hasn't felt any discomfort. Pain, hunger, sorrow, anger...... All the negative effects are gone, as if everything that happened before was just a nightmare.
But looking at this obviously abnormal space and even more abnormal Xuan, Ke Wang knew that all this was not a dream, but a fact that had really happened.
"Shouldn't you explain the ins and outs to me, Xuan!" Ke Wang knew that Xuan had no malicious intentions, but this feeling of being kept in his bones was too uncomfortable. Ever since he escaped into that strange space to escape the volcanic eruption, Ke Wang has always felt that he was being led by something. At the beginning, whether it was Song Yi's abuse, later everyone's cannibalism, and even the madness of the demon elder in the end, their negative emotions were magnified. All people have negative emotions, and people in desperate situations have a lot of negative emotions, and they tend to do things that normal people don't do. And what magnifies their negative emotions?" Is the so-called "Gate of the Three Realms" fake?"
Xuan sighed and said, "Cultivator, you are very smart. You are also a good "person", I don't want to hurt you, so I'll send you away. It's not up to you to take care of this matter, promise me not to wade into this troubled water again. ”
Ke Wang said with a smile: "I have a stinky problem, I can't ask for anything I'm not interested in, and I can't do anything I'm interested in." You can't get rid of me, let's be honest, I'll decide if I want to continue or not. ”
Xuan smiled: "You still haven't changed, you are still this nosy character, and you are still a dead duck with a hard mouth." That's it, let you die. Yes, the so-called "Gate of the Three Realms" is fake! The real gate is not here at all!"
Ke Wang exclaimed, "What does it mean to not be here?"
Xuan said calmly: "To be precise, the Gate of the Three Realms is not an existence with a substance, but a force that wanders between heaven and earth. ”
Ke Wang wondered, "Is the real door without the power of the entity?
Xuan said: "That is a false door set up by the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, specifically to lure the greedy hearts of human beings, amplify the evil thoughts in human hearts, and make them kill each other. ”
"I see. And that old monster?" Ke Wang asked out loud as he remembered the demon elder who was still in front of the fake door.
Xuan sneered: "Hmph! I have evil thoughts, cannibalism of the same kind, and I dare to try the way of heaven in vain! I deserve to die!"
Ke Wang shuddered, and looked at Xuan strangely as if he didn't know him: "Then ...... you now?"
Xuan sighed and said, "You still don't understand what I mean. Well, I'll start at the beginning. ”
Ke Wang sat precariously and listened to Xuan tell the secrets of the Three Realms.
"Our Snow Monster Clan in the Great Snow Mountain was originally one of the three thousand protectors of Buddhism, and you also know this. Back then, the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother reached an agreement with the Buddha of the West to transfer our clan over as the gatekeeper of the Gate of the Three Realms......"
"Wait! Is there no one in Middle-earth? Why borrow people from the West? And what the hell is this gatekeeper, isn't the gate of the Three Realms disembodied? Why do you still need people to guard it?" Ke Wang objected.
Xuan explained impatiently: "I don't know the specifics, that's what the memories I inherited after entering this space say, do you want to continue listening?"
Ke Wang smiled embarrassedly and didn't raise the bar again: "You say, you say." ”
Xuan Bai glanced at Ke Wang, and continued: "I don't know why the Jade Emperor Queen Mother borrowed people from the West back then, the ancestors of our clan are just pawns, let a few bigwigs from the East and the West knead at will, how can they tell him why." In short, in this way, we Snow Monsters have become the gatekeepers of the Gate of the Three Realms. The original Gate of the Three Realms was usually attached to the Three Realms Stone, and we stayed like this for the first time, and we have always been safe. But it didn't take long for the heavens and the earth to change, and the aura of the Three Realms gradually dissipated, and the Jade Emperor Queen Mother suddenly sent several great gods to transfer the gate of the Three Realms to the ghost city of Xudu, and transformed the original Three Realms Stone into a fake door. ”
Ke Wang remembered the ancient secrets he had heard from Xuanwu when he met him before, and he had a flash of inspiration and asked, "When was that?"
Xuan replied, "I don't know exactly when. But it is certain that it was the period after the first heaven and earth mutation. ”
Ke Wang secretly pondered that the Heaven and Earth had changed, the Four Great Divine Beasts had been summoned to the Heavenly Court, the Gate of the Three Realms had been transferred, and the Western Snow Monster Clan, which had nothing to do with Middle-earth, had become the gatekeepers of the Gate of the Three Realms not long before the Heaven and Earth Mutation...... There seems to be an invisible black hand at work behind all this, who is it, and why would he or they do it?
Xuan continued, "We originally thought that since the Gate of the Three Realms had been transferred, then our mission had been completed and we could return to the Great Snow Mountain. Unexpectedly, the Jade Emperor Queen Mother gave another strange order, let us continue to stay here, pretend that the Gate of the Three Realms still exists, and continue to act as the gatekeeper of the Gate of the Three Realms. ”
Ke Wang asked strangely, "What does it matter if the gates of the Three Realms move around. What's the difference between Buzhou Mountain and the ghost town of Xudu?"
Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, these memories are the memories of my ancestors who passed down when I came to this space, and that's what they received back then. And thanks to these inheritances, I also understand that the mission of our clan is to guard this false gate until death!"
Ke Wang smiled: "Anyway, it's all pretended, what difference does it make if people are not there." You'd better go down the mountain with me. There are many more things to do down the hill, let's go together......"
Xuan suddenly interrupted Ke Wang's words loudly: "Don't you understand? This is my fate, guarding this Buzhou Mountain, guarding this false door is the fate of our Snow Monster Clan! We can't go anywhere, we can only die here." Have you forgotten what happened to us when we were about to descend the mountain?"
Ke Wang recalled everything they had suffered when they went down the mountain, avalanches, volcanic eruptions, everything was so coincidental, as if it was preventing them from going down the mountain: "Could it be ......?"
Xuan said bitterly: "It's the shackles, the shackles that the Jade Emperor Queen Mother has imposed on our clan! We can never leave here, there is no other way but death." If you look at my body, what's the difference?"
Ke Wang was surprised: "What's the difference, it's not ......" He wanted to pick up Xuan, just like before to comfort this precocious little guy, but he didn't expect to pounce. His hand passed directly through Xuan's body, as if it were just a phantom in front of him. Xuan, he doesn't even have a body!
"Now you know why I have to let you go, right?" Xuan Xin said as if he was dead: "Every generation of gatekeepers has no substance, and only by merging with the door can they truly protect this gate, right?"
Ke Wang looked at Xuan in pain in shock, speechless.
Xuan smiled bitterly: "Thank you for everything you have done for me, I am happy to have a friend like you." See you soon. Miss me, don't come up the mountain, I don't want you to get involved anymore. This is the fate of our clan......" Xuan's body slowly became transparent and gradually disappeared.
Ke Wang was startled, and just wanted to say something more, when the space suddenly shook violently, and Ke Wang's head was dizzy, and he passed out like this.
When he awoke, he suddenly found that he had reached the foot of the mountain, surrounded by the singing of birds and flowers, and the smoke of cooking not far away.
Ke Wang turned around and ran towards Changbai Mountain, only to stop again after running two steps. He recalled what Xuan had said before sending him away, and wept silently. He didn't know how to save Xuan, this already involved the height of fate and the Heavenly Dao, and with Ke Wang's current strength, he couldn't touch it at all.
A deep sense of powerlessness hit Ke Wang's heart.
What is this? Fate?
