Chapter Seventy-Eight: Above the Stars, Be an Immortal
(PS: Last update today)
At this moment, Xu Rang can no longer see what he looked like before. Whether it's the appearance or the breath flowing from the body. He is more like a beast that has come out of hell, with an endless hatred for the creatures of the world, and is about to inflict the most cruel revenge on them.
As everyone knows, they are naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Hua Fei glanced at Luo Yu'er yesterday, and there was a decision in his eyes, and they teamed up to block in front of Su Changan and Qingluan, and said loudly: "You take Su Changan and leave, go to Xiliang to find Beitongxuan, he has a way to save him!"
When Qingluan heard this, her body was stunned, these two heirs of Tianlan Academy could not cultivate to heaven, don't say that Xu Rang at this moment is just a finger to deal with them in her heyday.
But they dared to stand in front of Xu Rang, just to help her and Su Changan buy less than a breath of time.
She has never understood such a thing, just like she didn't understand why Mo Tingyu would die instead of Wutong, why Yuheng was unwilling to ascend to the realm of Taishang to death, and calmly went to the sea of stars.
Her master once told her that if you want to achieve the Great Dao, you must forget the seven emotions and six desires, and have no self and no knowledge.
In her long life, she has seen countless people or things, depressed, regretful for life, and still remembered them until her death.
She thought it was a stupid thing to do.
Because the world is impermanent, like the moon is cloudy and sunny, people have life and death, and they sink into it, even if they have a happy gathering, they will still inevitably parting in the end. It's a very simple truth, and it's a truth that everyone knows but doesn't want to think about.
And only by attaining the Great Dao and transcending life and death can we be happy and happy.
This is a truth that she once believed.
But now, those behaviors that once made her feel stupid now inexplicably make her feel throbbing, feel her blood boiling, and tremble all over.
But she shook her head and said, "No." ”
"Why?" Luo Yu'er turned her head to look at Qingluan, and asked with a puzzled expression: "If this continues, everyone will have to die here." ”
Qingluan looked up at Xu Rang, who was standing in the air with a hideous face, and said calmly: "Have you ever seen wolves hunting?"
"En?" Luo Yu'er was stunned, she didn't understand why Qingluan would ask such a clueless sentence at this time.
"Wolves are greedy and like to get the most prey at the lowest cost. He's waiting, waiting for us to separate, and then breaking us down one by one with minimal cost. ”
"With his current cultivation to kill, we still need to break them one by one?" Luo Yu'er felt a little ridiculous.
"No, it has nothing to do with cultivation, it's nature. Qingluan said again.
Luo Yu'er's body shook, she subconsciously looked up at the sky, and it was not until this moment that she realized that the current Xu Rang was no longer suitable for the previous Xu Rang, he had been completely controlled by the ferocity of the greedy wolf star, and had become a vicious wolf who only knew how to ask and kill.
"So what should we do now?" asked Hua Fei, who had been silent on the side.
Qingluan shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
It's a dead end.
Separated, not to mention who Xu Rang would pick first, but whether it was Qingluan and Su Changan, who were seriously injured, or Luo Yuer and Hua Fei, who were not as strong as the sky, it was impossible for them to take Xu Rang's move and a half, let alone drag him for a while to buy time for each other.
And staying together and waiting to die is not a good way.
Although Xu Rang's mind has been devoured, he is not stupid, he is waiting, he is also observing, and when he is sure that the four of them have no power to fight back, that is when the four of them are dead.
Guo San has not had a good time during this time.
In other words, his recent life has been very bad, and it is terrible, much worse than the days when he wandered in Youzhou and did not have enough to eat.
He was locked up in what was supposed to be a dungeon, damp, dimly lit, and completely sealed except for the small skylight overhead.
Every day, someone would hand him food from the skylight on time, and let him hang for his life.
He didn't know why he had arrested him, and what did he get from him?
He asked himself that he was not a big man, at most he was a subordinate of some ruffians and hooligans in Chang'an City, doing some stealing chickens and dogs. But compared to the real big guys, these are not on the table at all. And he doesn't remember anyone he's offended lately.
So he wanted to know why the other party did this, and wanted to understand what he wanted. As long as he can take it, he is willing to give it.
It's always good to live, this is the truth he has realized after so many years of hard work.
It's just a pity that the other party has always ignored his inquiries, and every time he just leaves in a hurry after delivering the meal.
Although the dungeon had a small skylight, he could barely tell the hours except day and night, so the concept of time was gradually blurring for him.
He often slept for a long time, and then fell asleep after eating.
Only in this way will time seem to pass faster, and his life will be less sad.
Tonight seems a little different from the previous ones.
He was unusually sleepy, and vaguely he felt as if something was going to happen.
Such premonitions seemed to be his innate ability, and he was always able to give birth to certain throbbing in his heart before something very important came, but most of the time, such premonitions were vague, so vague that he could not grasp them at times.
But this time it was different, and the premonition was strong.
It was so strong that it was as if something was about to awaken in his heart.
He sat in the dungeon, looking up at the sky through the bowl-sized skylight.
He always felt that something might happen in the sky.
So he looked and watched and watched for a long time, and saw many very strange sights.
For example, some stars go out, and some stars light up and are dying.
But none of this was what he wanted. What he was waiting for was still on the way.
Until, the sky has been brightened, a dark red star has become incomparably bright, and a blood-red star has become incomparably dim.
Then.
A clear sound that permeated the heavens and the earth rang out.
His heart shook, as if something extremely important was about to wake up from his mind.
Then he saw a bird.
The beautiful and brilliant bird, which had been covered in flames, streaked across the night sky above him.
It was a very familiar scene, on that snowy night more than ten years ago, in a tavern outside the Tianlan Temple, he had also seen such a bird.
That bird is a phoenix!, he muttered to himself.
At that moment, some shackles loosened in his mind, and certain memories of being imprisoned flooded towards him.
"My name is Dimensity. I am from Tianlan, and you are my apprentice. ”
"I did something wrong and awakened the demon that should be sleeping. You have to help us, you get my inheritance, to help the heroes of the next generation. ”
"But I can't give it to you now, I can't even let you remember that we met, you remember, you are going to Chang'an and worship Tianlan. ”
The dean who had praised him for his extraordinary talent and would one day be able to worship Tianlan. The vague image in his mind gradually became clear at this moment, and the words that should have been forgotten by him also flooded into his mind at this time.
"I'm too weak to help you, I'm dying. I put my legacy here. But you can't take it now, and I'll have to hide him, and I'll have to hide you. You have to go to Tianlan and find the man named Yuheng. Along the way, it will be very hard and there will be some hardships. This is the calamity of my Heavenly Bloodline, and it is also a practice. When you come back here again, that's when you get your legacy and become a star. ”
"But I know that you will succeed, because your life will die according to the stars. ”
Those were the last words the man said to him.
There seemed to be a lot of things between him and him, and there were too many gaps in between, but he couldn't really remember them. He just felt that the man should be a very important person to him, which is why he was so heartbroken at this moment.
"The moment you walked into Chang'an, I knew you were coming. But I can't take you, because Tianlan is very dangerous now, and you have to continue to wander until, but when the phoenix comes back again, you will remember what you have forgotten. ”
"You have to go to Youzhou and repay the cause and effect you owe along the way. Then, come back with the star. ”
"Tianlan needs you, and they need you. ”
Another memory came flooding back, and what the old man had said to him on a snowy night that year he had not remembered until now.
His eyes had become firm after a brief period of confusion, and he had lived strangely, or rather confused, all these years. He always remembered the obsession of worshipping Tianlan, which had always haunted him.
It was like an impossible dream that he wanted to forget, but he remembered it in the dead of night.
Now he finally understands something, but it's not complete.
What happened to the man named Tianji with him, he couldn't really remember, and he couldn't figure it out. But he vaguely felt that this was very important, so important that he would come to Chang'an so desperately when he was young, why did he have such a vague memory of Youzhou. He didn't like it, he wanted to know the answer.
And as if he felt some determination in his heart, this sealed cage was suddenly opened at that moment, and through the sparse starlight, he vaguely saw an old man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes standing at the door, looking at him with a warm smile.
"Senior brother, do you remember?" the old man asked.
"Senior brother?" Guo San was a little puzzled, but he thought about it, and finally nodded and said, "I remember something." ”
"And what are you going to do?" a smile appeared on the old man's face.
"Go to Youzhou and get back what I lost. Guo San's face rarely became extremely serious, reflecting the misty night, so that the old man saw the man with a resolute face like snow in a trance.
"Good. The old man nodded, thought for a while, and said: "This road is difficult and dangerous, if the junior brother is in trouble, you can report my name Yin Lisheng." I think that with my star death protection, ordinary people will weigh a few points. ”
"Star Death?" Guo San was stunned for a moment, he looked up and down at the old man in front of him who claimed to be his senior brother, and had some questions.
When he remembered the things that he had forgotten, some of the methods were also known to him at that time. Although these methods have nothing to do with fighting, it is very easy for him to see the depth of a person's cultivation.
And the old man in front of him, no matter how you look at it, will not be a star.
But the old man only smiled when he heard this.
"Now, of course, it's not, but soon it will be. ”
The red light in Xu Rang's eyes rolled more and more violently, he stared at the four figures under his feet, and finally decided to make a move.
He raised the scarlet spear in his hand high, and countless black evil forces surged on the tip of the spear, as if in the next second, he would throw it at everyone.
And everyone's bodies were also fixed by the qi machine at the moment when Xu Rang raised the spear, and their bodies couldn't move.
Seeing that a murderous shot is about to strike.
At that moment, a clear chirp suddenly sounded.
The voice was so high-pitched and full of anger.
It was like the first chirp between heaven and earth when the heavens and the earth were opened, coming from all directions and directly into everyone's hearts.
Then, a bright red figure dragged the firelight in the sky, and hit Xu Rang's body like a thunderbolt with a thousand momentum.
The spear that Xu Rang had just raised was shocked, and his body was caught off guard and suddenly retreated a few steps.
And a figure dressed in red and with a bell tied to his bare feet gently landed in front of everyone at that time.
"Xu Rang, you dare to hurt him?"
A cold, yet angry, voice rang out.
The voice was not high, but it carried a majesty like a god.
"Wutong!" Luo Yu'er and Hua Fei's exclamations sounded at this moment.
They could never have imagined that Sycamore would arrive at this time and save their lives. And the feelings in my heart about this former colleague who killed my uncle became more and more complicated.
"Take Chang'an and leave, I can only hold him for a while!" Wutong didn't look back at them, but stared at the hideous-looking man who had stabilized his figure and was slowly walking here, and said in a deep voice.
Luo Yu'er and the others were shocked, and they probably understood the meaning of Wutong's words - she was not the opponent of Xu Rang, who had been devoured by the fierce star, all she could do was to drag him down for them.
After saying this, Wutong's body moved, and he rushed towards Xu Rang.
And I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, at the moment before her body flashed, her head was slightly to the side, and it seemed that the corner of her eye fell on Qingluan's body for a short time.
Qingluan's body was shocked, she didn't know if Wutong had denied her, but now it was obviously not a good time for a sister to recognize each other, so she gritted her teeth, picked up Su Changan's body, and rushed towards the outside of Chang'an City under the cover of Luo Yuer and Hua Fei.
It's not a very easy process.
Wutong, the demon saintess who should have died, suddenly appeared, making the jackals who had been watching in secret smell something profitable.
They wanted to stop Su Changan and the others, and then put them in the hands of Sima Xu, so as to curry favor with the prime minister who can now be said to be the most powerful prime minister in Great Wei.
Luo Yu'er and Hua Fei were okay yesterday, the spiritual power in their bodies was quite abundant, although they were injured a lot in the battle with Shan Lixing, but after many changes in the middle, the pranayama has recovered a little. But after all, their cultivation is only heavenly, and in the impact of those armor soldiers who suddenly poured out, they were still gradually unable to do so.
And although Qingluan is a star death, the injuries in her body are really too serious, and the combat power she can exert is only around the soul guard.
But in order to spit out the encirclement, she had to repeatedly forcibly mobilize spiritual power regardless of the damage to her heart, and forcibly fought her way out with Su Changan, who was already dying.
Finally, when the sky was completely bright, the four of them finally killed out of Chang'an City.
But the matter was far from over, and two men in armor and spears led the soldiers to kill.
They are the fifth and eighth best players among the Great Wei and God Generals, Lan Yuhong and Bai Zuohan. Both of them were powerhouses of the Dao realm, and in just a few breaths, they had already led the troops to chase behind everyone, seeing that the guns were coming.
Hua Fei and Luo Yu'er had a tacit understanding yesterday, and suddenly turned around at that moment, regardless of his injuries, forcibly took these two killing moves, and shouted in his mouth: "Take him to Xiliang to find Beitongxuan!"
Qingluan's body was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't look back, she knew that she couldn't help anything, all she could do was to escape here with Su Changan in order to live up to the sacrifices of these people.
But at this moment, her chest was opened, and the jade flute around her waist was instantly covered with dense cracks.
The time had come for the broken army to return to the sea of stars, but she had no intention of sending him away, and those backlash forces from heaven and earth were surging, almost knocking her to the ground.
But she didn't know where to give birth to some strength, forcibly suppressed the already messy injuries in her body, lifted a mouthful of spiritual power, and helped Su Changan's body to escape into the distance.
Tonight is destined to be an unforgettable day for everyone.
The Holy Emperor of the Great Wei fell, and the swordsmen of Jiangdong finally came from the Li River to go to the hundred-year covenant.
The fierce star that heralded the troubled times suddenly appeared, and it was about to fall in a blink of an eye.
The holy maiden of the demon clan, who should have died, suddenly appeared, and Tianlan, who had stood for thousands of years, fell apart.
The court of the court has changed owners, although it seems that the new emperor is still a descendant of the former Holy Emperor, but everyone knows that from this day on, Dawei has changed his surname to Sima.
And the traveler who climbed the mountain finally came to the top of the mountain he wanted to reach today.
He was in his mid-fifties, dressed in a dark coat with felt on his shoulders and snow stains on it. The snow seemed to have been on the garment for a long time, and it had stuck to the fluff on it, but strangely, it still showed no signs of melting.
The corners of his mouth are also a little scumbag, but they are not messy, he is well organized, and there is a little crane hair in the green silk on his head, but he is also meticulously combed.
He looked at the attic in front of him, his eyes were cold and solemn, and the stars above him were as dazzling as day.
"I'm coming. He said this, not high, neither low, nor humble, nor arrogant, his voice echoed back and forth on the top of this deserted mountain.
Then the top of the mountain fell silent, only his voice echoing back and forth, but it grew smaller and smaller until it was completely gone.
"What are you doing?" It wasn't until a long time later that a voice suddenly sounded in the attic. The voice was also very ordinary, but it inexplicably had a strange rhythm, which faintly seemed to be in line with some truth between heaven and earth.
"I'm going to get something. ”
"Well, do you know the rules of the Star Pavilion? If you want to take it, you have to give it first. The voice asked.
The man shook his head and said with an unchanged expression, "I don't know." ”
The voice in the attic fell silent, and after a long time, he said, "What do you want?"
"Star Order. The man replied.
His voice was so calm, as if what he wanted was just something very ordinary.
But as soon as his words fell, the sea of clouds above the Star Pavilion began to churn, as if a king had heard an extremely rebellious word, and a voice like thunder suddenly resounded.
"What do you want the Star Order for? Do you know what it is, what do you have to trade it for?"
In the face of such a vision of heaven and earth, the man's face was still indifferent.
"As I said, I'm here to get it, not to exchange it. ”
The sea of clouds above the dome rolled more and more violently, accompanied by the sound of thunder.
"That's not something you can spy on, I don't think it's easy for you to practice, don't be embarrassed by you, you can go back. ”
"No, I said I wanted to take it, so I had to take it. The man was unmoved.
"Stubborn. You people in Tianlanyuan always like to hit a stone with an egg and kill yourself. That Star Order is the treasure of my Star Pavilion, what is the use of you?" Although the voice in the attic still carried supreme majesty, there was a faint hint of fear between the words.
"I will reopen the shrine, slaughter the gods, break the cage of heaven and earth, and behead the heavens and men. Qing Huanyu, Lang Qiankun. ”
His voice was still as calm as it was.
But it seemed that these words touched some power in this heaven and earth, and every time he spat out a word of thunder in heaven and earth, the sound of thunder in heaven and earth became heavier. Eventually, lightning flashed around him, shattering the mountains around him where he stood. But it couldn't hurt him in the slightest.
He stood there alone, his expression indifferent, his clothes fluttering, like a god.
"The affairs of the Protoss are supervised by my Star Pavilion, and the celestial and human majesty is not something that a small person like you can offend. If you don't retreat, your wild words will be enough for me to slash you to pieces. ”
"Heaven and man are immoral, and they should cut down the sky. ”
"Lack of morality, heaven and man rule the Tao, so that you can be enlightened from ignorance, there are no heavenly people, I am afraid that you are still trapped in the star, and it is difficult to break through this realm to death, how can you have such a supreme cultivation now?" The voice in the attic seemed to hear something extremely ridiculous, and there was a wave of anger and mockery in the voice.
But the man shook his head again, his hand clenched in the void, and a long sword engraved with the image of a dragon and a phoenix was held in his hand at this moment. The stars above his head shone brightly, and a killing machine suddenly emerged.
His frosty voice rang out again.
"The stars are not too high. ”
"Above the stars, be immortals!"
