Suzaku

Under the Blood Tree

“We’re fighting!” Yi Zhu’s eyes widened, and he rubbed his hands nervously on his buttocks twice, looking at the rain of blood falling from the sky, the corpses of heavenly soldiers falling from the top of the red clouds from time to time, and those extremely tall The beautiful arc of the magic weapon, the vertical and horizontal immortal energy flying around, froze on the ground for a moment, not knowing what to do.

The world has not fought wars for many years, except for those children who hit warships.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the second-level heaven, he saw such a magnificent scene, where life and death were staged, and life disappeared rapidly. It was really difficult for Yi Zhu to give a timely and accurate response.

This is the biggest battle in the history of the heavens. The heavenly soldiers on both sides are dressed in black and white, with distinct camps, walking in the clouds, and lined up in two lines.

The battle line was so long that it seemed impossible to see the tail from a distance. The soldiers all over the sky had resolute faces, holding sharp knives, and their bodies were shining with cold armor, forming a very cold scene.

The two fronts are like two dragons. Occasionally, when they swing their heads and touch, thousands of soldiers will fight together. After a very short shout, countless rains of blood will burst out, and countless soldiers will turn into black shadows. Fell to the ground, went straight to the nether world.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of fresh lives disappeared, but these heavenly soldiers were fighting each other calmly and secretly with fanaticism.

The killing sound shook the sky, and the blood filled the air.

On the higher ground of the two hostile camps, there is a five-color auspicious cloud, which emits unusual rays of light. It is fresh and contains the meaning of blessing, and sprinkles those rays of light that seem to have a healing effect on the soldiers of their own camp. body.

But even so, this grand war is still harvesting lives all the time, splashing blood, and frightening the world.

Yi Zhu squinted his eyes and looked above the colorful cloud, and found that the real commander of this war was hidden behind the cloud. He could clearly sense the incomparably powerful strength of those immortals, but he didn’t know who it was.

A layer of blood froth with a strong fishy smell had already appeared on the ground of the heavenly realm, and when it mixed with the soil on the ground, people who saw this scene couldn’t help but feel a little bit terrified.

The blood froth slowly flowed on the ground, quietly pushing the weeds that had been shattered by the immortal family to the slightly lower places on both sides of the sky road, and gradually accumulated, forming several Little blood pool.

The small blood pools are like blood-colored round chess pieces, scattered on the ground.

There are two trees next to the pool of blood, one doesn’t know what kind of tree it is, and the other doesn’t know what kind of tree it is.

Because all the leaves were shredded by this earth-shattering war, leaving only dry branches, and those old trees with mottled and scarred bark were also painted by the blood rain from the sky, looking Like a blood-stained bone hand stretched out from the earth, it has a charming beauty.

Yi Zhu took a few breaths, and found that the two sides fighting in the sky did not notice such an ant-like figure like himself. He walked to the side of the blood tree with his steps that became a little heavy for some reason, and stretched out his palm. Come out, chi chi la la, all the blood mud on the ground was burned into blue smoke, revealing the cleanrocks come.

He sat down on his ass, covered his eyes with his hands, and a faint breath radiated from his body, forming a barrier, blocking the continuous rain of blood from the sky, and began to observe the scenery.

The blood tree stretched out its red branches, and Xiao Yi Zhu in white clothes sat cross-legged under the tree, and the blood rained down from the sky. When he reached a place about five feet around his body, he would be burned into green smoke by an invisible fire, and he would not fall at all. not on him.

He originally planned to go to the acquaintance to ask about Yi Tianxing’s whereabouts after he arrived at this layer of heaven, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a vigorous event as soon as he came up.

In this life, the only acquaintance of him is the Emperor Zhenwu, and now the battlefield covers thousands of kilometers, and how can he find it? With the vortex devouring people’s lives, if Yi Zhu stepped into the battle rashly at this time, I’m afraid that countless magic weapons and artifacts from both sides would all run over to him.

Even though his body was always stronger than steel, he didn’t have such courage.

And I don’t know why, looking at the messy flesh, corpses, bones, and blood flecks flying all over the sky, Yi Zhu felt that there was something wrong with his breathing. It was muddy, as if some emotion had taken over his consciousness, and a layer of faint red light was cast on it.

There seemed to be a frantic voice calling in his mind.

It was like in the grove behind the six coffin building, he killed those birds expressionlessly in front of Zou Leilei.

A strong impulse to destroy life and end life kept impacting on his pure consciousness.

That year at the seaside, Yi Tianxing once spent a whole day telling him some very simple truths, the simplest one of which was: Don’t kill people indiscriminately.

In fact, Yi Zhu is a violent little guy in his bones. Perhaps, every life is an unreasonable tyrant at the beginning of his life.

But he respects Yi Tianxing very much, so he has been enduring it for a long time, and he has endured it very hard. He lost his composure once at the six places.

Today, however, the smell of blood around him, the fierce fighting in the sky above his head, and the blood flowing slowly from the grass beside him all shocked and provoked his mind.

“When exhaling and inhaling, observe the impermanence. The method of exhalation is born in stages, and the cause of each other is changed, and all the conditions are combined, and there is no pause when it starts”

For some reason, the little guy’s tender lips became dry and flaring slightly. He kept reciting the method of tranquility and insight in the Heart Sutra, with his hands pressed against each other, his legs crossed like vines, his five hearts turned to the sky, and his mind was straightened and peaceful. Although he bears the seal of a boy, he couldn’t hold his body still, and trembled a little irritably, as if an invisible force was pulling him, wanting him to stand up and throw his tender and small body into the sky above his head. In senseless massacres.

The sky is full of immortal energy, densely packed, like shooting stars, and as beautiful as the aurora in the world.

Under the beautiful and dangerous battlefield, on the blood-stained ground, next to the bloody pool, Yi Zhu was sitting, dressed in white, extremely clean.

There are two mangrove trees behind him, extremely gorgeous.

“The battle has been going on for months down there.”

Yi Tianxing stood on the edge of the cliff of Mount Sumeru, his eyes were quiet, like black jade, which made people feel at ease. He looked at the cliff at his feet, at the few golden mountains slowly floating in the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, and raised his index finger Gently tap the place where I don’t know how deep it is.

Second Martial Uncle didn’t rush to answer, but just sighed: “When I was in Heaven, I never fought a war.”

Yi Tianxing turned around and looked at him with a smile: “You never fought a war before you became a marshal.” The second uncle was Marshal Tianpeng at the time, and he was considered a great official in the heavenly court.

Wu Neng sniffled, flicked his sleeves, and said coolly: “It’s impossible for a soldier who thinks about fighting every day to be a marshal.”

Yi Tianxing smiled, and asked instead: “According to my uncle, what is the share of Emperor Zhenwu’s rebellion this time?”

Without even thinking about it, Wu Neng said decisively: “There is no trace of true martial arts.”

Yi Tianxing was surprised and said: “Why are you so sure to know that the Heavenly Court is empty now, there are not many generals who can use it, Erlang God doesn’t know where he went, and Nezha father and son may not be so loyal.” Said: “Although Zhenwu is definitely not as powerful as the Jade Emperor who has been running for a long time, but since the Northern Song Dynasty, with the secret help of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Zhenwu’s status in the heaven has increased day by day, and now he is in charge of the North Pole. The palace is called the Great Arctic Ziwei, and this is number two.”

He frowned and said, “The second brother beats the boss, and the boss has some dementia, it’s something to do.”

Although he understands that there must be many ink-like things hidden behind the superficial brilliance and martial arts of Emperor Zhenwu, but after all, he is an acquaintance, and Yi Tianxing has also accepted some love from him from the world to the heaven, so he is still willing. If Zhenwu can win, he will be able to talk to the sky as a farmer in the future.

Wu Neng rolled his eyes, and gave Yi Tianxing a sarcastic look: “In Heaven, there is a fundamental difference between the boss and the second child, and you don’t understand this.”

“what’s the difference”

“This is stipulated. The boss is the boss, and the second child is the second child. If the second child wants to be the boss, this will break the rules.” Wu Neng said slowly: “But Zhenwu this timeAlthough he used great strength to kill Lingxiao Palace, he forgot that he had already broken the most important piece of Heavenly Court. ”

“He broke the rules.”

Yi Tianxing was stunned, then smiled and said: “The rules are made by people, and it is natural for people to break them.”

“Who broke it?” Wu Neng said with a smile: “Don’t forget, the rules for the boss and the second to eat fruit were not set by the Jade Emperor, nor were they elected by everyone.”

After being silent for a while, Yi Tianxing suddenly realized, and sighed: “I really forgot this one, this rule is set by Sanqing, and the Jade Emperor is not the Jade Emperor that I am, but the Jade Emperor that Sanqing asked him to be.”

“That’s right.” Wu Neng said lightly, “So any rebellion in the Heavenly Court will only fail, because no one can slightly shake the power of Sanqing.”

Sanqing is a few scary old guys who have rarely asked about world affairs for thousands of years, but their divine power has not diminished.

Yi Tianxing suddenly laughed. Wu Neng felt a little strange and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Yi Tianxing smiled and shook his head: “I suddenly thought, if Sanqing is behind Emperor Zhenwu, wouldn’t this matter become very interesting?”

Wu Neng shook his head and said: “If Sanqing doesn’t want the Jade Emperor to sit on that chair, he just needs to call someone to pass a word, and the Jade Emperor will come down naturally. Why bother to kill and fill in millions of souls? Don’t be afraid of Dao heart against the sky, there is a risk of extinction”

Yi Tianxing glanced at him, thought for a while, and didn’t say anything, but deep down in his heart, he was thinking that behind the Jade Emperor, there seemed to be an unfathomable Amitabha Buddha.

His gaze returned to the beautiful scenery of the sea of ​​clouds and golden mountains surrounding Mount Sumeru. Yun Shen wondered if there was someone there.

Frowning slightly, Yi Tianxing felt that there was a little more in the depths of his spiritual consciousness, an extremely weak but clear trace of irritability, and he didn’t know why.

In the heaven below, the blood on the two mangrove trees had long since been evaporated by the fire from Yi Zhu’s body.

The blood was mottled, like an abstract painting that could not be understood no matter how you looked at it.

He was still sitting cross-legged under the tree, the enchantment still covered his aura and protected the tree behind him.

The blood rain outside the barrier has been underground for several months. It was originally a blood pool like a small round mirror, but now it has been pooled by the blood of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals to form a large pool of blood. Occasionally, strange weeds grow in the pool. The fishy smell is disgusting, but fortunately, the heavens are originally pure, and there are no such things as mosquitoes and flies.

So the blood is just blood, there is no smell of corruption.

Yi Zhu sat quietly in the barrier for several months. At the beginning, he didn’t intend to sit for such a long time. He just planned to start his journey of finding his father again after those boring people in the sky were tired from fighting and dispersed.

But he lived in the world for a long time and forgot one thing.

Immortals are not easily tired when fighting, let alone hungry.

So this brutal war between the Arctic Lagerstroemia Palace and the Lingxiao Palace has been going on for several months without stopping.

At the beginning, Xiao Yi Zhu was still interested in watching these video game-like battle scenes in the Skyfire Barrier, but after watching it for a long time, he got tired of it.

So he fell asleep, crossed his legs and fell asleep, and just like that, he entered a state of sitting and meditating at ease.

Practice this kind of thing, always give people a chance in a very strange way.

Yi Zhu seized this opportunity in a daze, and this meditation lasted for several months.

After the first celestial battle above the sky lasted for several months, the powerful figures behind the two colorful clouds finally discovered the existence of a third party under the armies on both sides. Because in the blood pool, there is obviously a semi-circular clean land that is extremely clean, but has no breath.

But I don’t know why, none of the parties sent people to test Yi Zhu, but carefully avoided the enchantment formed by the faint sky fire.

The lower-level immortals who were fighting seemed to know that there was a terrifying immortal in that barrier.

There was a really scary little guy in there.
