The wind is roaring, and the grass and trees are still.

Only the afterglow of the sunset reflected on Qingping's sword was shadowed on Su Bodhi's body, and even Zhou Bai could hear the whispers under the Five Elements Mountain, not to mention Su Bodhi, who was a saint's doppelganger?

Two golden rays of light came dazzlingly, swept away the dust and mist, through the mountains and forests, at this moment Sun Wukong had already used the mana of his whole body, and the spiritual consciousness blinded by the copper pill iron juice cracked a series of subtle cracks, Sun Wukong's eyes flashed brightly, desperately stretching his neck, trying to see the figure standing in the distance.

An inaudible sigh came from the void, and when Zhou Bai noticed Sun Wukong's gaze, Su Bodhi in front of him had already disappeared without a trace.

Is the saint really ruthless? If he is ruthless, how can the Yuan Shi Tianzun be so protective, how can the Tongtian Sect Master be in trouble because of the fall of his disciples, and how can the two saints of Buddhism plan for tens of thousands of years to collect monks and spiritual treasures in the Flood Desolate Continent without regard for face.

The truly heartless and ruthless thing in the world is the dead thing that has no life, and although the relationship between master and apprentice for several years is mixed with various schemes and calculations, it is not all false.

At least in Su Bodhi's heart, he really doesn't want Sun Wukong to know his true identity.

Just like the 'Truman's world' mentioned before, Su Bodhi, as one of the 'directors', would rather let Sun Wukong live in the dream of 'Monkey King' all the time, rather than let him see the real side of this world.

If truth is cruel, lies are definitely gentle.

As a Buddhist saint, he will never allow the westward journey to fail, as Sun Wukong's master, he can't change the plan of the westward journey, and can only give Sun Wukong a perfect ending.

From the demon monkey to the Monkey King, from the Monkey King to the Buddha who fought to defeat the Buddha, the Buddha's position is the ultimate Buddha fruit of Western religion, and this Buddha fruit will also be the curtain call of the eastward spread of Buddhism after the catastrophe.

The harsh golden light faded, and the familiar aura was gone.

Sun Wukong lowered his head a little lost, whether Shicai's perception was an illusion or reality, he didn't dare to think about it and had nowhere to ask, just like the mutilated memory he had just read, no one would tell him whether it was true or not, and he didn't want to tell outsiders.

Closing his eyes slightly, Sun Wukong's breath slowly calmed down, and an inexplicable smile pulled out from the corner of his mouth, Sun Wukong muttered: "There are still three hundred years, and let me see what a magnificent and shocking stage you have arranged." ”

......

The sound of cranes rushing into the sky, the light wind and drizzle surround the ancient forest.

Before Zhou Bai left the Two Realms Mountain, thin raindrops began to fall in the sky, and a square cloth was taken out from the sword domain to wrap the Qingping sword in it.

The rain is fine, the wilderness trail gradually becomes muddy, this quiet trail seems to be opened by the nearby woodcutter hunter, Zhou Bai did not walk long along the path, and then went around the dense mountain forest, the smoke and rain in the distance were hazy, and a small village loomed in the smoke and rain.

Zhou Bai smiled indifferently, and his pace couldn't help but speed up a little.

Seeing someone coming from the barren mountain in the distance, the hunter who lived on the outermost side of the mountain village couldn't help but mutter, and greeted the mother-in-law in the back room.

The rammed earth on the ridges is far thicker than the mountain forest paths, and when Zhou Bai just walked down the hillside, a middle-aged hunter with a burly figure and scars at the corners of his eyes appeared in front of him.

Looking up and down at the young man in front of him, a vigilant look flashed in Liu Taibao's eyes, and his right hand was quietly behind his back, stroking the hunting fork, and Liu Taibao took half a step back vigilantly.

Not to mention that the other party's clothes are dry as new, the smooth and neat ground behind him alone is enough to send chills down his back.

Seeing the vigilance and vigilant movements in the other party's eyes, Zhou Bai couldn't help but be stunned, looked at the plain robe on his body, and said with a wry smile: "This brother doesn't have to be like this, he is not a demon or a ghost." ”

Most of the ordinary Daomen monks were dressed in Taoist robes and robes, or wore Shimen tokens to show their bodies, and the young man in front of him was wearing a blue and white robe, without any textured ornaments.

Although Liu Taibao was puzzled, he also believed most of it, the other party's temperament did have a kind of ethereal meaning of being a Taoist immortal, his eyes were extremely clear, and the package he was carrying behind him was constantly exuding an aura that made him feel awe.

Just when Zhou Bai was thinking about whether to show his identity by showing his hands in the 'immortal method', the rammed earth between the two suddenly bulged a big bag, Zhou Bai blinked, looked at the withered old man who suddenly appeared suspiciously, and said in surprise: "Land?"

Looking at the old man who suddenly came out of the soil, Liu Taibao was taken aback, looked back at the land temple in the center of the village, and then looked at the old man in front of him, took a step back and said, "Liu Qianshui pays a visit to the land master." ”

The land hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Taibao and said with a smile: "Get up quickly, Taibao has a deep fortune, and he has the merit of sheltering the mountain village, and the little god can't afford the Taibao gift." ”

Turning to look at Zhou Bai, Di Di smiled bitterly, "Lord Shangxian, the little god has received a summons from Heavenly Court, saying that His Majesty the Jade Emperor wants to invite Shangxian to meet in Yuying Palace. As for why it was sent to him, instead of sending the heavenly immortals down to greet him, he couldn't understand.

If he had a choice, he would definitely not accept this oracle, and the battle under the Five Elements Mountain a few days ago directly scared him into hiding in the shrine and closing his six senses, for fear of being affected by the pond fish.

Afterwards, he learned from the mouth of the mountain god that Zhou Bai cut off one of Guanyin Bodhisattva's arms and killed the Wufang Jiedi sent by Buddhism to imprison Sun Wukong, which made him even more frightened.

Zhou Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked up at the cloudy sky, most of the guests received by the Jade Emperor were in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, but he had never heard of this 'Jade Ying Palace'.

What's more, the Jade Emperor actually bypassed the Heavenly Court Immortals such as Tai Bai Xing and directly communicated with the small land of the Two Realms Mountain with the Divine Dao Pardon.

It's like a leader of a country who wants to see a person and calls that person's neighborhood committee directly. Zhou Bai muttered in his heart, there are only two possibilities for encountering this situation.

First, the Jade Emperor felt that his status was humble and his cultivation was low, so there was no need to send the Heavenly Court Immortals to announce the decree.

Second, the Jade Emperor wanted to avoid the sight of expounding the teachings and intercepting the teachings and Buddhism.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai couldn't help but smile and said, "I already know about this matter, thank you for coming to the land." Saying goodbye to Liu Taibao, Zhou Bai stepped out in one step, and he arrived in the void, and the layers of breeze paved up, as if the winds in the void that were originally formless and phaseless, began to condense. It became one solid stone staircase after another.

As if slowing down, Zhou Bai's every step seemed to pass through a layer of space, and he disappeared from the sight of the two in a moment.

Seeing Zhou Bai talking so well, the land couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Liu Taibao next to him looked at the direction where Zhou Bai left in a daze, and raised his palm slightly, as if he wanted to touch the steps that had not yet had time to dissipate.

The dark eyes flickered, full of envy and yearning.

The land sighed lightly and said with a smile: "Taibao, come back to your senses." "A little finger, a ball of rain fell into Liu Taibao's back, 'hiss~' Liu Taibao woke up suddenly, quickly hid the thirst in his eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Grandpa Land, is this an immortal?"

The land shook his head and said, "In our eyes, they are immortals, and in their hearts, they are still monks. Mortals have been extremely poor all their lives, they have entered the door of cultivation, and great fortune and great perseverance have achieved the realm of immortals, which seems to be a complete story, but in fact it is the beginning of a new story. ”

Looking at Liu Taibao with a complicated expression, the land sighed: "Old man, I have been cultivating for two hundred and seventy years, and I have not yet entered the immortal level when Yangshou is near, so I reluctantly turned to the Divine Dao, and practiced for another six hundred and thirty years before I became the land of the Two Realms Mountain. Taibao, your fortune is far better than mine, if you accumulate merit from generation to generation in this way, and protect the people. In no more than four hundred years, there will be people in your descendants who can achieve the Immortal Dao. ”

"What about me?" Liu Taibao's voice was a little low, future generations can achieve immortal path, but what about him? Life is only a few decades, four hundred years is enough for him to be reincarnated more than five times, and after four hundred years, he is no longer him, I am afraid that even the heart that once yearned for immortal path at this moment has been forgotten.

The land shook his head and did not answer Liu Taibao's question, the immortal path and immortal fate, even he couldn't explain it clearly, how could he solve the confusion of others?

......

Unlike the last time Lao Jun led the way, this time Zhou Bai walked alone, and every layer of the nine clouds was blocked by visions, or thunder, or gale, or flame, or mist.

The desolate world is divided into three realms and six realms, there is a yin and yang separation between the earth immortal realm and the underworld, and there are also nine clouds between the heavenly realm and the earth immortal realm.

Of course, these cloud barriers have no effect on Zhou Bai, who is a Golden Immortal cultivator, but the perception when he passes through each layer of barriers makes Zhou Bai's state of mind a little inexplicably sublimated.

After passing through the last layer of cloud wall, it suddenly became clear, there was no more dark thunder and lightning, fierce gale, and there was an endless sea of clouds in front of me, and a brilliant galaxy overhead.

The bottleneck in the late stage of the Golden Immortal was also somewhat loosened at this moment, and it was not until now that Zhou Bai finally understood the difference between the Earth Immortal and the Heavenly Immortal.

Immortal cultivators can practice the ultimate immortal path, but the mana of the heavenly immortals is always deeper than that of the earth immortals, the reason is that the tempering of these ninefold clouds, each layer is consuming the monk's mana, and at the same time giving him a trace of understanding when passing through the barrier.

The overlapping of the nine perceptions is the sublimation of the realm.

The realm is all true immortals, and those who have sublimated their mood are heavenly immortals, and those who have not yet entered the heavenly court are earth immortals.

Glancing at the clouds under his feet with some regret, Zhou Bai said secretly, it's a pity that this kind of perception can only be felt once per person, otherwise if you wear it thousands of times, you will definitely be able to perceive the law of space.

Glancing at the location given to him by the land, Zhou Bai's figure flickered, turned into a streamer and flew to the east.

Unlike last time, Zhou Bai did not enter from the four heavenly gates of the heavenly court, but staggered the east heavenly gate, and continued to fly to the east, the rising sun in the distance, the fire light on the sun star reflected the surrounding clouds into orange, several tongues of fire swallowed out of the hot fireball, constantly licking the surrounding aura, only from the moment the tongue of fire was involved, can you get a glimpse of the vague ruins in the depths of the fireball.

Zhou Bai's footsteps were paused, and he looked at the sun star with curiosity, since this is a desolate world, then there will inevitably be a lich war before the gods, according to legend, the Hetuluo book in the hands of the ancient Heavenly Emperor Emperor Dijun fell into the hands of Fu Xi, but the innate treasure of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi Chaos Bell is missing, is it hidden in this sun star, or is it recovered by the Heavenly Dao?

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai couldn't help but laugh, if it was really still in the Sun Star, Haotian would definitely have turned this place upside down.

Along the edge of the Sun Star, Zhou Bai circled for a long time, the hotter and hotter air continued to burn the surrounding aura, and the dull feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger, and Zhou Bai's brows gradually wrinkled.

Why did the Jade Emperor invite him to such a place?

Sideways to dodge the sudden gushing tongue of fire, Zhou Bai waved his sleeves and his pace sped up a little.

Not far away, a white jade paved step quietly appeared in the fading tongue of fire, and Zhou Bai's eyes lit up, knowing that the Yuying Palace was in front.

There are a total of 333 layers of jade steps, at the end of the steps, is a towering high hall, what is the palace, the courtyard composed of the hall is the 'palace', the palace should have a lot of 'palace', but the Yuying Palace in front of you seems to have only one big hall.

When Zhou Bai came to the front of the hall, the door of the hall opened suddenly, and the slightest mist blew out from the hall, bringing a trace of coolness and refreshment to Zhou Bai, who was extremely hot.

"It's hot outside, please invite Zhou Bai Xiaoyou into the hall. A voice from the hall, although the words are plain, but there is a mysterious texture, as if the heaven and earth sound, the wonderful truth is indescribable.

Zhou Bai touched the package behind him, smiled indifferently, and walked into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhou Bai couldn't help but squint his eyes, only to see that the clouds and smoke in front of him were misty, on the top of the nine-fold jade steps, someone was on the throne, the throne was gilded, and there seemed to be a dragon pattern inside, looming in the clouds and smoke. The golden light was shining, and in the misty smoke clouds, there seemed to be a golden dragon swimming.

Because he didn't have Sun Wukong's fiery eyes, even if Zhou Bai tried his best, he couldn't see the true appearance of the person on the high platform.

As if sensing Zhou Bai's peeping, the Jade Emperor laughed, got up from the dragon chair throne, the Jade Emperor slowly walked down the high platform, and the mist in front of him faded a little with each step, until he walked in front of Zhou Bai, and the hazy mist in the entire hall had dissipated without a trace.

"This is the ruins of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, and the palace and throne have the effect of shielding the heavens, and you can't pass through these shields with your naked eyes alone. ”

After confirming the Jade Emperor himself, Zhou Bai dusted off his sleeves, leaned over and saluted: "In the next Zhou Bai, I have seen His Majesty the Jade Emperor." ”

The Jade Emperor stepped forward, helped Zhou Bai up, and after looking him up and down, his eyes showed admiration, "Xiaoyou has extraordinary qualifications and is thoughtful, no wonder the Tongtian Sage disobeyed the teacher's ban and wanted to take you in." ”

After the accident in the Five Elements Mountain, Zhou Bai really fell into everyone's sight.

The catastrophe is coming, Zhou Bai is a variable, and everyone is reluctant to take the initiative to provoke, for fear that he will be involved in right and wrong. It would be fine if his position was in the middle, and now that the Tongtian Sect Master had lent him the Qingping Sword, it would mean that Zhou Bai had made his position clear.
