Suzaku

: Ren Pingsheng

Yi Tianxing sat on the slightly undulating turtle shell, his face restrained, and after a long silence he said: “Does Qin Zi’er know her identity?”

When he said this, some scenes of the extremely vivid exchanges with Qin Zi’er over the years flashed through his mind quickly, and the scene was a little blurred. Even so, he still felt a little lost in his heart. After all, from the moment he embarked on the road of cultivation, Qin Zier was like a mirror image next to the track. Inextricably linked, unnameable, but indifferently restrained.

“She doesn’t know.” Emperor Zhenwu said quietly: “Your realm has grown too fast, you have disrupted the situation too much, and those human monks in Qingjingtian died too fast, so the fifth princess has not had time to break her through the mouths of these people. I am afraid that she still thinks that she is just an ordinary practicing woman in the world. But her current realm has also risen, so she should feel something strange.”

“It’s interesting that you need someone to tell you who you are.”

“Who you are, don’t you need Puxian Bodhisattva to tell you yourself?”

“That’s right.” Yi Tianxing replied softly, a little dazed, “She is the Jade Emperor’s youngest daughter, which means that I killed her Fifth Sister”

“Could it be that you feel a little sorry for her?” Emperor Zhenwu smiled, as if he was testing something.

Yi Tianxing raised his face, only then did Emperor Zhenwu realize that there was a smile on his thin lips: “If you kill, you will kill. In my life, I have killed tens of thousands of creatures, even people and immortals. It’s time to regret, regret, and sigh, the emperor don’t think I’m that kind of sour person.”

He suddenly frowned and said, “I just don’t understand. If according to what you said, Qin Zi’er went down to the realm to win me over secretly, then why would the fifth princess always want to kill me?”

“The reason is very simple.” Emperor Zhenwu said lightly: “Whether it is the human world or the heavenly world, as long as it is an organization, there is no monolithic existence. There must be several different schools of thought inside. The five princesses represent one side, and the other side But he wanted to follow Huairou’s route, the Jade Emperor practiced Buddhism for a long time and was lazy in managing affairs, but after all he was a man of great wisdom, he sent the little princess down to the lower realm after a little thought, which can be regarded as a promise to Huairou’s faction.”

“It turns out that Xiao Wu is a hawk.” Yi Tianxing said with a smile: “It’s just that even if the Buddha and Bodhisattva value me, she won’t hate me for being like that.”

“Because you don’t give face too much.” Emperor Zhenwu said with a smile: “People in the royal family care about face most. For several years in this world, her own sister has often been in contact with you, but you turned a blind eye and chose an ordinary person in the world. Girl, this fact alone is enough to enrage Xiao Wu and make her kill you.”

“What about the Huairou faction?” Yi Tianxing looked into his eyes quietly, “Are you one of them?”

Emperor Zhenwu pondered for a while: “It is.”

“How much does Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva know about this matter?”

“It’s inconvenient for me to say.” Emperor Zhenwu told the truth, although he had a good relationship with Master Guanyin, but it involved a major rebellion in the heavenly realm, so he couldn’t say much.

Yi Tianxing smiled slightly: “Master Avalokitesvara is the Bodhisattva serving the Pure Land. You want to expel the forces of the Pure Land in the heavenly court. I really don’t understand what she thinks.”

Emperor Zhenwu said indifferently: “Your Majesty has great compassion.”

“Want me to join the Heavenly Court”

“good.”

“Oh, do you know how to get to Mount Sumeru?”

“Know.”

“Do you know where my teacher is?”

“There is a black stone altar on Mount Sumeru, just look at it and you will understand.”

“Okay, then I’ll go first, bye.”

Yi Tianxing stood up on the turtle shell naturally, bowed sincerely to Emperor Zhenwu, thanked him for his life-saving grace, and then made an empty move with his right hand, and moved the golden stick and Zhuxian sword into his right hand. With a light, it turned into a light smoke and jumped off the huge old turtle.

Emperor Zhenwu stood up slowly, looked at Yi Tianxing who was like a small black spot under the giant tortoise, put his hands behind his back, the blue light in his eyes condensed into a small spot, suddenly rose, and his consciousness Zipu sprinkled over and separated from Yi Tianxing’s sea of ​​consciousness.

It was just a touch of this electric light and flint, and the information that Yi Tianxing wanted had been passed over.

“Thank you.” Yi Tianxing wore the monk’s robe, turned around and carried a stick, and waved to Emperor Zhenwu who was standing far away on the turtle shell, “Don’t give it away, see you in the future.”

Still those three words, very natural.

He waved goodbye naturally, and spoke naturally, as if Emperor Zhenwu had told him all the secrets of the heavenly world for a long time, but he didn’t listen to them, and didn’t have the slightest influence on his choice. In other words, Yi Tianxing His face is really thick.

It is precisely because the two people in front of them talked about the gossip about the conspiracy very carefully, so when Yi Tianxing left so naturally and casually, there will be a sense of unreal absurdity.

Just like two brothers who were about to escape from prison, suddenly the younger brother said to the elder brother: I’ll go first, you can play by yourself.

But Emperor Zhenwu was really an elegant person, with a faint smile on his lips, he didn’t leave him behind, and waved goodbye.

Seeing the little monk-like Yi Tianxing gradually disappearing into the ice and snow, and seeing that bald head covered by powder snow all over the sky, Emperor Zhenwu retracted his deep gaze and sighed.

“I’ve been talking for a long time, I’ve been running for a long time.” The old tortoise, which had been circling the 10,000-meter snow peak, buzzed at the feet of Emperor Zhenwu. Today, Emperor Zhenwu talked to Yi Tianxing for a long time, and it crawled for a long time , Tired badly.

“He knew he was going to the North Pole Hall, so he left.” Emperor Zhenwu said with a smile, “Very smart young man.”

The old turtle’s voice revealed surprise: “Even Bodhisattvas are extremely difficult to see through the illusion of the Great Emperor, and I walk very steadily, so I will definitely not arouse his suspicion. How does he know that we are on the way back to the main hall?” .”

“The realm has grown so fast, no wonder the Buddha and Bodhisattva value him so much.” Emperor Zhenwu didn’t answer Lao Gui’s question, his eyes were lowered, as if he was thinking about something.

“Oh, if this young man is willing to join the Emperor’s army, it will be a great help.” The old turtle flattered him.

Emperor Zhenwu didn’t speak, squinted his eyes slightly, put his hands behind his back, facing the wind and snow in the sky, let the old turtle hunched forward slowly.

In fact, if he wants to keep Yi Tianxing, besides coercion, there are many temptations, but it is nothing more than saying: “You have offended the Jade Emperor, and you will die if you don’t join” or “Let the Pure Land If you drive out the Heavenly Court with the power of the powerful, you Mount Sumeru sect can benefit a lot from it, at least the two great Bodhisattvas in the human world can also have some breathing room.”

But Yi Tianxing didn’t give him this chance at all, and left cleanly.

Emperor Zhenwu also learned from the young man’s decisive performance that the opponent’s determination is firm, so it’s meaningless to talk about it.

The giant tortoise still circled the snow peak in the wind and snow.

After being silent for a long time, the old turtle seemed to be unable to bear the pressure of this silence. The front seam of his huge head was slightly opened, revealing the teeth inside, and he shivered: “He hasn’t gone far, do you want to keep him?”

“Why?” Emperor Zhenwu frowned and said, “Don’t learn from those boring humans who think that if they are not for my use, they must be killed and cannot be used by others.”

The emperor’s eyes lowered slightly, and he looked coldly at the old turtle’s wrinkled face: “Since Yi Tianxing won’t be used for me, who else in the three thousand worlds would dare to use him?”

The old turtle fell silent, as if he didn’t agree with Emperor Zhenwu’s statement: “At least there is no need to tell him the direction of Mount Sumeru. In this heaven, there are very few people who can know the true location of Mount Sumeru.”

“I need him to go to Mount Sumeru.” Zhenwu said lightly: “My purpose is different from his Mount Sumeru, but at least in the eyes of the moment, what we are going to do can just complement each other, regardless of whether he is in my camp or not. , he can still help me when he goes to the West Paradise, at least he can attract the power of the Pure Land Sect there.”

The old turtle nodded sharply, looking disgusted.

Zhenwu suddenly sighed and said: “Besides, if you want to kill him, the price seems to be too high. First of all, let’s not talk about how Master Guanyin explained, but just talk about the kid’s current state. It’s not like you can kill him just by killing him.” .”

The old turtle shook his head slightly: “Yadi, let the snake general go, he is proficient in assassination.”

“Don’t call me Asian Emperor.” Emperor Zhenwu frowned, “Although I am the Emperor Ziwei in the Arctic Zhongtian, this is just a false title, so don’t let it be true. As for the snake”

He smiled slightly: “Don’t let the snake go to die.”

The old turtle was a little surprised: “Yi Tianxing’s realm is already so terrifying.””That’s right.” Emperor Zhenwu smiled and said, “What’s even more frightening is the little bag hidden in his body. There are some magic weapons that I don’t know about hidden in the bag, very powerful magic weapons. When he goes to Mount Sumeru, he will definitely be with the Pure Land.” The bodhisattvas and arhats of the sect fought a battle, and the Pure Land is in trouble now.”

The old turtle started to come up with ideas again, and Xiaoyi asked, “Why didn’t Emperor Yada take that bag back? A few days ago, Yi Tianxing was unconscious for half an hour. Bag hehehehe.”

Zhenwu’s self-deprecating meaning floated to the corners of his lips: “Yi Tianxing’s surname is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. If he is taken to the North Pole Hall, I’m afraid it will cause trouble, so I just want to coax him there today. As for the bag, hehe I can Can’t open it.”

The old turtle was stunned, wondering what kind of bag it was, even Emperor Zhenwu, the second person in the court today, claimed that he couldn’t open it

No matter how long the journey is, there will be an end. The old tortoise slowly stopped in the wind and snow, and the tortoise’s legs, as thick as mountains, stepped on the snow that was several feet thick, and there was a loud bang. , Immediately afterwards, the old turtle opened its mouth, and screamed sharply towards the front.

Zhenwu still had his hands behind his back, squinting his eyes slightly, feeling the wind and snow blowing in front of him with the strong wind, he was silent for a while, and finally put his hands in front of his body, and patted him lightly.

Very weak applause echoed under the 10,000-meter snow peak.

The old turtle seemed to have been walking around this 10,000-meter snow peak before.

But with Zhenwu’s light palm, the 10,000-meter snow-capped peak beside him suddenly disappeared.

The wind and snow all over the ground became faster, as if the snow peak had just turned into snow particles in the air out of thin air.

Incomparably powerful Xianli Xianjue.

At the original location of Xuefeng, there is no longer the wonder of white snow covering rocks, revealing a large snowfield under the supreme illusion.

“stop.”

Zhenwu said a word softly, and then the wind and snow all over the sky stopped.

Above the snow field is a large palace complex covering an area of ​​unknown number of meters. The eaves are straight and the houses are square.

It was quiet in the palace, and there seemed to be no one there.

“Meet Yadi.”

Suddenly, in the silence, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of voices sounded at the same time, from every corner of the palace complex

On the main entrance of the palace, there are four big characters “North Pole Hall”, and the place where the voice is loudest is the huge square in front of the main entrance of the palace, which is completely invisible.

The square is boundless and stretches straight to the horizon.

With this sound of seeing, the thick snow on the square was suddenly broken away, and only then did he realize that there were countless black armored soldiers prostrating there under the snow.

Emperor Ziwei in the middle of the North Pole, Tianting Yadi, under the jurisdiction of thirty-two heavenly divisions, the gods of war of all parties, is the emperor of the north.

The gods of war of all parties and the black-armored soldiers of the Thirty-two Heavenly Division have been waiting for the arrival of this generation of Arctic Ziwei Emperor.

Millions of people got up at the same time, only to see the snowflakes splashing all over the ground, like millions of small snowflakes blooming at the same time, the momentum was extremely amazing.

Emperor Zhenwu’s gloomy eyes slowly swept over these immortal soldiers and generals, from near to far, his eyes slid over the residual snow on the soldiers’ black clothes, brushed past the seemingly weak maids in the palace, and then swept up The kiss of the alien beast on the corner of the eaves, and then looking up, the eyes fell on the gray sky and the snowflakes that kept falling in the far distance.

“I don’t know how many of these millions of souls will be left after the war.” He didn’t have a trace of expression on his face, and he muttered silently in his heart.

The old turtle also lay quietly at his feet, looking very solemn.

Amidst the snow all over the ground, a black line slid out of the palace like lightning.

Where the black line passed, the soldiers kneeling on the ground did not move, but in an instant, the black line came in front of the giant tortoise. The giant tortoise nodded slightly and greeted reservedly.

The black thread flew up the high turtle’s back, and immediately transformed into a human form, kneeling in front of Emperor Zhenwu.

“Meet the master.”

She is a seductive woman dressed in black. The woman has extremely thin eyebrows, and her facial features are extremely beautiful. There is an imperceptible evil spirit hidden in her eyes.

“Now that you’re awake, get up.” Zhenwu didn’t look down at her, but still looked into the distance.

“Yes.” Snake Girl answered softly, stood up, stood one foot behind Emperor Zhenwu, and asked for instructions in a very low voice: “When are we going?”

“Now.”

Snake girl showed no expression on her face, with a slight movement of her right hand hanging by her side, millions of soldiers in the square in front of the palace stood up under the organization of the thirty-two heavenly commanders, full of murderous intent, and each Fang God of War also floated up into the snowy sky, holding the immortal weapon in his hand, with a fierce expression on his face, as if he was ready to go to war at any time.

Emperor Zhenwu suddenly frowned at this time, and said with some confusion: “I am now the sub-emperor of Tianting, and millions of troops worship me. While talking and laughing, the wind and snow subside, and the heavenly palace is chaotic, why is there a trace of excitement in my heart?” no”

Turtle and Snake II will not know how to answer.

“Until now, I didn’t understand why the Jade Emperor has been so confused these years.” Zhenwu sighed, “People who have practiced to our level, whether it is a living being slaughtered, blood flowing, or a demon chaoticDance, how can you shake your heart a little bit? Everything is boring. ”

“Then if this war still can’t cheer up the Jade Emperor, then” the old turtle said with a bit of a murmur.

Emperor Zhenwu frowned slightly, the black clothes and golden armor on his body shone coldly in the snowy sky: “Then I will be the Jade Emperor.”

The first war in Heaven for thousands of years is about to start.

The first war in Heaven is about to last thousands of years.

Yi Tianxing sat quietly on the snow, his buttocks were soft and cool, and he didn’t know how many meters the snow was.

After breaking up with Emperor Zhenwu, he headed west along the route recorded in his consciousness, until he left the range of Emperor Zhenwu’s consciousness, then carefully turned the direction and came to a quiet place, meditating Come.

I don’t know why he is meditating here at this moment.

A faint Buddha’s light seeped out from his body, the light was soft, and slowly brushed on the surrounding snow.

Behind him, a faint Buddha figure appeared.

I don’t know how long it took, Yi Tianxing slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, without any doubts, then he took the gold stick from behind, pointed it at his chest, and poked it down hard.

There was a muffled hum, a sound like ripping paper.

The golden stick slammed into his chest, and under the control of his spiritual consciousness, the sword of Zhu Xian, which had been wrapped in the stick, exposed a small section of the sword tip, pierced into his chest, and made a small cut.

There was no expression on Yi Tianxing’s face, it seemed that this severe pain was not enough to hit his mind.

His left hand turned into a phantom, and the moment the white horse passed through the gap, he poked into the crack in his blood-burning chest, took out the ordinary small interspatial bag from it, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The wound on the chest healed immediately, not even leaving the original light gray mark.

A bottle of nectar really brought his body’s recovery ability to a more terrifying level. In the three thousand worlds, there should be no one who can compare with him except for the old monkey.

Yi Tianxing then snorted, urging Bodhi in his body, a faint breath burst out from his palm, and forcibly suppressed it on the golden stick, and the golden cudgel that had been shining with gold suddenly turned into an inconspicuous black-gray from the beginning to the end.

He turned the black iron stick into a walking stick, and the Zhu Xianxie sword inside seemed to have sensed the terrifying improvement of Yi Tianxing’s realm, and became quiet.

Touching his bald head, putting on a bamboo hat and walking stick, Yi Tianxing stepped on the snowy road expressionlessly, heading towards the west.

With every step, the snow melts and the grass appears.

The preachers of this life have embarked on the journey of learning the scriptures again.

An iron staff, a straw shoe, a coir rainstorm, and a path of green grass.
