The Sword Named No Way Out

Dongtian and Beiyuan soared up at the same time.

The ancient gods transformed by the heaven and the earth will not stay in the heaven, most of them travel too far, never appearing for a moment. Only immortal gods who ascended from mortals will live in the heaven forever. Some of them are willing to be enshrined in the world. Naturally, they must bless their believers, otherwise it will seriously hinder their practice; Qingxiu only seeks to return to the void as soon as possible.

At that time, there were several immortal gods in the upper heavens who were able to ascend, and they basically passed the stage of enjoying incense and offerings from the world, and belonged to the latter. But the new gods who have just ascended more or less have some mortal believers, so Dongtian is in charge of the abundance of aura in the mortal world and freedom from natural disasters, while Beiyuan is in charge of peace and order in the world.

Different from the myths and stories in mortal legends, there is no distinction between high and low in the heavenly gods and gods—after ascension, they are all gods, each has its own practice, each seeks its own way, and has seen each other for hundreds of years. On the other hand, there is no talk of any restraint or interference.

But Gong Wei is very worried about Ying Kai's killing obstacles, so he often visits the north wall of the heaven, and talks with Ying Kai.

Ying Kai may have been depressed for a long time in the Cangyang Sect and had no other entertainment, so he actually learned to make wine by himself. It just happened that peach blossoms were planted all over the sky, and they would drink peaches into wine, which was very sweet. Gong Wei often fell asleep soundly in the middle of his speech, and when he woke up, he was already in the East Heaven Temple, with a cloud-like soft couch under him, and Xu Shuangce sat upright. Holding an ancient scroll by his side, he has a tall and straight posture and a focused face.

Gong Wei wagged his tail and said with a smile: "Xu Bai, Xu Bai, why did you turn me into a little fox again?" Then he skillfully jumped onto Xu Shuangce's lap, poked his head out from the edge of the table, and lay on his front paws On the edge of the table, read a book with him.

Xu Shuangce's voice came from above his head: "Is the peach wine delicious?"

Gong Wei did not hesitate: "It's delicious!"

After a while, when Gong Wei went to talk to Ying Kai, he found that there was only tea but no wine on the table. Ying Kai said with a confused face: "Shuang Ce said that the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and I want to learn how to make wine, so I have borrowed my wine making tools." It hasn’t been returned for many days. He said that he doesn’t want me to teach him, and he will buy me a drink when he learns it, but I really don’t know when he will learn it...”

The two looked at each other, and the air was quiet for a while.

Gong Wei made a decision: "Go, let's talk to Xu Bai."

The two came to the East Heaven Temple together, and Xu Shuangce readily agreed to discuss, so he took out the peach blossom wine he had just brewed to drink with Ying Kai, and he didn't know where in the world he recruited a plate of slobbery chicken. As a result, when Gong Wei saw that there was chicken to eat, he threw all the arguments out of the blue. After eating a few mouthfuls of spicy food, he had to drink a mouthful of sweet food. Then listen to Xu Shuangce chatting with Ying Kai. The two chatted for a while about wars in the mortal world, and suddenly Ying Kai fell silent for no reason, and said: "I have a question in my heart, and I am always confused."

Xu Shuangce said, "But it's okay to say."

Ying Kai said: "If I didn't control the water at the beginning, I simply let the people downstream be submerged in the flood, wouldn't it mean that the war has stopped now, the world is unified, and no one would have to die in battle anymore?"

Xu Shuangce was taken aback.

Gong Wei was reclining on the soft couch and hugging Xu Shuangce's pillow, she was already half drunk at the moment, rubbing the pillow with a smile and saying: "Not necessarily."

Ying Kai asked, "Why?"

"If you don't control the water, the people will die and the war will stop, this is one of the world's predestined laws. If you control the water and save the people, and the war will not stop, but tens of thousands of people will die, this is the second world's predestined law. Everything is the cause of everything, Everything is the result of everything. Therefore, you really don’t have to take the result of the ongoing war on yourself, you must know that the karma of the world is reciprocal, and the fact that you went to control the water back then was just a part of the great karma in this world.”

Ying Kai just listened quietly, noncommittal.

"By the way," Gong Wei suddenly realized something: "Where did you think of this, did someone say something to you?"

"..." Ying Kai turned his eyes away, no one could hear a trace of concealment in his words: "No, I thought of it myself."

Gong Wei comforted him: "The general trend of the world, the long-term will be reunited, and the long-term will be divided. There is really no need to think about it."

Ying Kai nodded silently and said nothing more.

They drank and chatted late that day, and Gong Wei fell asleep early, so soft that he couldn't even pull himself up. Xu Shuangce got up and sent Ying Kai out, both of them were drunk, Ying Kai looked at the bright moon in the distance, suddenly stopped, and said in a low voice: "If everyone in this world is satisfied and everyone gets what they want , won’t there be so many noisy voices anymore?”

Xu Shuangce didn't hear clearly: "What noise?"

Ying Kai said, "Crying."

"Where is the cry?"

The surrounding area was clearly silent, Xu Shuangce thought he had missed something, but Ying Kai was silent for a while, and said: "No, I heard wrong."

Xu Shuangce frowned, feeling uneasy for some reason. However, before he had time to ask, Ying Kai shook his head and laughed: "Shuang Ce, your wine is too strong, can you let me personally give you a few pointers? How long will it take to return the wine utensils to me? "

Xu Shuangce immediately flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back, and said flatly, "No. Brewing wine is like seeking the Tao, and everyone's way is different, so how can you give me random pointers!"

"..." Ying Kai raised his forehead and murmured, "Understood, I will never even think about getting that property back in my life."

Xu Shuangce sent Ying Kai away and returned to the temple, only to see Gong Wei drunk in the most familiar breath of white sandalwood, subconsciously transformed into a form related to it - a little fox.

The warm and soft little fox is lying on the cloud bed, its fur is smooth and long, its two pointed ears are lying softly on the ground, and the fluffy and soft hair of its tail hangs down to the white jade floor tiles. Its whole body was as soft as a puddle of water. Xu Shuangce stood beside the couch for a while, his breathing became a little short, and he stretched out his hand to turn the little fox back into Gong Wei.

The young man was as white as a pool of moonlight, his lips parted unconsciously, the overturned wine cup splashed the sleeves of his robe, and the skin on his wrist was soaked with the mellow fragrance of wine and peach blossoms.

Probably because of the stillness of the night, Xu Shuangce looked at him, his heart was beating heavily in his chest, and countless thoughts that had been suppressed in the past suddenly popped up in his head.

Why does he always run to Beiyuan?

Why does he always travel around the world, reluctant to leave?

Why can everyone and everything in this world occupy his mind and time?

Why...why is he no longer my little fox?

Once these thoughts are born, they will grow into towering giant vines like demon seeds, tightly entwining Xu Shuangce's mind. He bent down and stared at the sleeping Gong Wei, his eyes fell on the open red lips, he rubbed his thumb for a long time, and finally dropped a kiss like a ghost.

Breathing staggered, lips pressed together, and the soul erupted into violent tremors.

The emotional barrier suddenly rose from his heart, dragging Shangshen into the abyss.

With a bang, Xu Shuangce got up and staggered back, knocking over the tables, chairs and wine cups. But he didn't even feel anything, because the turbulent waves in his mind swallowed everything, the primordial spirit collapsed and became dizzy, and at the same time he burst into madness, he burst out with strong energy, and even shook the entire Eastern Sky, causing the clouds to make a loud noise.

"Xu Bai? Xu Bai, what's the matter with you?" In a trance, he heard that Gong Wei seemed to have been awakened, and staggered towards him in a deep drunk: "Are you insane? What happened?"

Xu Shuangce looked at the surprised face of the young man in front of him, never wanted to possess him so strongly, hurt him, and made him feel the same pain as his own heart convulsions; he also wanted to hold him in his arms and protect him tightly. Without being exposed to a single wind or a drop of rain, I will present all the precious and beautiful things in the world together with my own heart and soul to him.

Great joy and sadness hit the heart at the same moment, contradictions tear the soul like sharp claws, and are filled with the acid of jealousy. Xu Shuangce opened his mouth, but couldn't hear what he said in the chaos. His last bit of rationality allowed him to escape from the temple, and Yuanshen rushed into the boundless Lingxu.

That was the first time that the Eastern Heaven God went mad.

He began to meditate in closed doors, and he didn't even dare to think of Gong Wei's face in his mind, but his emotional barrier was like a fallen demon all his life.

He lost his heart of Dao that was as indifferent as a copper wall forever.

At that time, Gong Wei didn't understand what happened, and he had no time to pester Xu Bai to get to the bottom of it, because a big event happened right after that night——

Ying Kai returned to Beiyuan, sent an oracle to the mortal world, sealed it with the soldiers of the world, and forcibly stopped the war to extinguish the flames of war.

The Three Realms trembled.

No fairy **** has ever issued such a strong and absolute oracle to the world, and Ying Kai is the first one since the beginning of the world.

Not only Gong Wei, but even the other gods also had a premonition of the coming disaster.

But Ying Kai is the **** in charge of order and peace in the world, and no other **** can easily interfere with his decision. Only Xu Shuangce heard about it, and forced his way out regardless of his emotional barrier, and immediately flew to Beiyuan with his sword, Ying Kai looked at the helplessness in his hand, and slowly asked: "Are you here to force me to take back my life? "

Xu Shuangce put down his sword and said in a deep voice, "No, I'm here to discuss with you."

Ying Kai reached out to the opposite side of the desk: "Please."

Although there is no distinction between high and low, but if there are differences among the gods, they can be resolved by discussing the Tao. If your way convinces my way, then I will naturally have doubts in my heart, and I will have to rely on meditation and hard work to understand my confusion, and the differences will no longer exist.

Dongtian and Beiyuan discussed the Dao for seven days and seven nights, fighting with each other with swords and tongues, and using countless magic tricks, neither the winner nor the loser. All the eyes of the heavens were focused on the closed gate of the Beiyuan Temple. No one knew that on the eighth day when the morning light was twilight, the God of Beiyuan in the deep hall asked the God of the East Heaven a question:

"If cause and effect in this world should go with the flow, then the separation of love and hatred should also go with the flow, right?"

Dongtian said: "Yes."

"When you were not ascended, you were inseparable and intimate with the young fox, even in life and death. This is a 'gathering'. Now after ascending, Jingxian loves all things in the world and thinks of all living beings in the three realms. He no longer belongs to you alone. This is called "gathering". 'Scattered' - you should accept the status quo calmly and not make any demands, right?"

Dong Tian suddenly froze there.

Beiyuan presses on step by step, every word is like a hot steel needle piercing into the soul: "If in the future there is a monk with the fate of ascension, Jingxian will also accompany you in the form of the past, and accompany the newcomer in the lower realm , inseparable and inseparable, you can see it calmly, right?!"

With a bang, Xu Shuangce stood up: "Shut up! Gong Wei, he just—he—"

He's not just my little fox.

Xu Shuangce's voice stopped abruptly, and the pain pierced his chest, making his brain roar with pain.

"Shuang Ce," said Ying Kai's pitiful voice in the confusion, which seemed very close yet seemed far away, "You can't even convince yourself with your non-demanding rhetoric, do you think you can convince me?"

Xu Shuangce's blood boiled, and he couldn't hold it back any longer, and spurted out a big mouthful of blood!

Dongtian and Beiyuan discussed the Tao for seven days and nights, with demons abounding in them, and they retreated dejectedly.

So far, no one can stop God Kitagaki's obsession with the great unity of the world. His absolute oracle completely suppressed the world and forcibly maintained peace for decades.

However, what Ying Kai didn't want to think of was that the world would not be grateful forever.

Soon the flames of war came again with the disaster, and the voices of the people calling for the war turned against Ying Tian, ​​and even resented Ying Kai who had controlled the water and stopped the war, overturned his shrine and toppled his statue.

Ghost Prince finally made his debut.

"Among all the living beings in the world, only people will repay kindness and hatred, only people will kill their own kind, only people will change their offspring to eat, and only people will kill wantonly for pleasure rather than survival."

"The flowers, leaves, plants, animals, and ants and mayflies in this world are worth it, but only people are worth it. People are not worth it."

The peach blossoms representing the killing barriers bloomed all over the upper heaven overnight, and the God of Beiyuan summoned giant soldiers, setting off a battle to annihilate the world.

Ying Kai wants to eliminate all the evil in this world, and the only evil in this world is human beings.

Gong Wei finally understood what happened that night hundreds of years ago. The "extremely pure and ultimate morality" bestowed by the ghost prince to the young Ying Kai is not a gift at all, but a poisonous seed.

However, it is too late to regret it now.

For the first time, Jingxian, who has always been gentle and kind to her relatives, summoned an extremely evil face because of anger, fought with the ghost prince and went down to the underworld, overturning the entire underworld. At the same time, the God of the Eastern Heaven wanted to kill the soldiers in the world, but was blocked by the God of Beiyuan. The two gods broke out in a **** battle, and the heaven was once leveled.

Even the vast sky was dyed pale gold by the blood of the gods. The tragic and heroic battle of that battle can be called epic. In the end, Dongtian and Beiyuan had no choice but to bet on the position of the gods. The key to the bet fell on the last battlefield in the world - Tianmenguan.

Juzong Xuanjinghe died together with the soldiers who had destroyed the world at Tianmenguan.

Beiyuanshangshen, who had lost the bet, was furious and unleashed a terrible catastrophe on Xuanjinghe. However, at the very moment, Gong Wei arrived and personally protected the dharma. skyline.

Since then, the war of annihilation has finally come to an end.

The ghost prince was imprisoned in the depths of the underworld, Beiyuan Shangshen was expelled from the heavens, and the newly ascended Xuanjinghe sealed the West Realm Shangshen.

When the ten thousand zhang clear light shines on the sky, the whole Three Realms looked up at the new **** in admiration, only Xu Shuangce saw the scarred and cracked mirror carrying the Xuanjing River. At the same time, he heard a ghostly young boy's voice, saying, "Did you see it? That's Gong Wei's real body."

Xu Shuangce stood on the clouds and asked, "So what?"

The ghost prince was imprisoned in the deepest chaotic realm of Huangquan, but he seemed indifferent to the dark prison: "Have you forgotten what the mirror likes to do most? - Imitation. Whatever you show to it, the mirror will give you What to look at. You offer the most humble and sincere love with both hands, and the mirror will reflect this love back as it is."

"..."

"People come and go, but the mirror always stands in place. It reflects you now, and it will reflect others fairly in the future." The Ghost Prince's voice was as low as a devil, and he smiled, "Do you understand, God of the East? It is the greatest regret in your life."

Xu Shuangce closed his eyes suddenly, and the majestic divine power erupted from his body, dispelling the Ghost Prince's voice!

No one could see that he was holding the Reluctant Sword tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were bulging, and he was trembling slightly.

After the World Annihilation War, how to deal with the guilty Beiyuan became the biggest problem in the Heaven Realm at that time.

Gong Wei swore a blood oath when Ying Kai was promoted, once Ying Kai fell into a murderous barrier, he must be killed immediately. But now it's time to fulfill the oath, Gong Wei is full of hesitation and contradictions, so he invited all the gods in the upper heavens at that time, these gods who hadn't met once in hundreds of years, gathered together, discussed again and again, but still couldn't figure it out. Get the best of both worlds.

In the end, Xuan Jinghe tentatively made a proposal: "Since the purpose of making the blood oath was to kill obstacles, you might as well start with killing obstacles now. If Beiyuan Shangshen can pay for all the sins of destroying the world, and kill obstacles If everything is resolved, wouldn't the blood oath be resolved?"

Xuan Jinghe's soul was seriously injured when he ascended, and he has not fully recovered. During this time, Gong Wei has been using divine power to make up for his soul, so he always stayed together inseparably. Hearing this, he said in distress: "But such a serious murder How can the obstacle be resolved?"

All the gods and gods shook their heads in disbelief.

Gong Wei turned her head and asked expectantly, "Xu Bai?"

"..."

Changing into a little fox for many years before made Gong Wei develop a temperament that likes to rub against people. Now he and Xuan Jinghe are squeezed into the same seat. Fortunately, Gong Wei is small and Xuan Jinghe is thin. That's why they were able to squeeze in, even if it was so, Xuan Jinghe was almost squeezed to the ground by Gong Wei, who was not sitting.

Xu Shuangce lowered his eyelashes, covering his cold and heavy pupils: "I don't know."

Gong Wei was extremely disappointed: "Even Xu Bai doesn't know." He rested his cheeks and sighed, and could only say: "Then please think about it tonight, and discuss it tomorrow."

The smoke in the world has cleared, and the bright moon in the sky seems to be extraordinarily bright, and the vast clear light reflects the sea of ​​clouds clearly and transparently.

That night, Xu Shuangce meditated for a long time, feeling depressed, got up and left the East Heaven Temple, walked in the sea of ​​clouds for a while, and found that he had habitually come to a vast palace that was shining with moonlight—it was Gong Wei’s residence in the heaven .

Gong Wei loves the human world, and travels around the world in disguise all the year round. This place is just the empty Qionglin all the year round.

Xu Shuangce stood quietly for a while, and was about to turn around and leave as usual, when he suddenly heard the soft voice of Xuan Jinghe in the breeze: "And then? Is the God of East Heaven angry?"

Xu Shuangce suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Gong Wei grinned and said: "How could that be! Xu Bai was never really angry with me. Xu Bai cut off a large chunk of my tail hair as punishment, and then found ice cubes for me to swallow. I didn't feel it until half a bowl of ice Better—that saliva chicken is really too spicy! Xu Bai never allowed me to eat it again!"

The luminous pearl illuminates the palace brightly, and the mirror fairy and the **** of the western realm sit opposite each other on both sides, and the fragrance of tea is wafting. Xuan Jinghe couldn't help laughing after thinking for a while, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Dongtian to have such a high-spirited air, but there are also times when it is so narrow."

Gong Wei blinked and smiled and said: "That's natural, Xu Bai thinks a lot, he once taught me that when I grow up, I can't go to the mother fox, and if I'm in love, I can't practice transformation well. It's a fox."

Xuan Jinghe almost spit out the tea.

Gong Wei shook his head and smiled, his eyes shimmered, and the smile faded after a while.

"Recalling it now, it should be the happiest time." He sighed softly, and said, "If I had known the result of today, I might as well never fly up and stay in the world forever."

In the bright moon and breeze outside the hall, Xu Shuangce's pupils widened slightly, and he stood where he was.

"..." Xuan Jinghe seemed to be thinking for a long time, suddenly got up and bowed down, and said: "I have a way about the **** killing the barrier on Beiyuan."

Gong Wei was about to get up to help him, when he heard the words he was surprised and said: "What method?"

Xuan Jinghe said: "I hit the horoscope to break the evil spirit, fight the poison with poison, and overcome the obstacles. I am willing to exchange fate with Beiyuan Shangshen, and reincarnate until the killing obstacles are worn out. Such a predicament can be solved. What do you think?"

Not only Xu Shuangce outside the palace, but even Gong Wei was stunned for a moment.

"No, absolutely not." Gong Wei reacted, and immediately waved his hand: "Ying Kai's killing obstacles will never end if you don't wear them for thousands of years. Your soul is not complete, and reincarnation is too dangerous."

Xuan Jinghe said earnestly: "I understand, but this is the safest and surest way to resolve the killing obstacle, otherwise you can only kill Beiyuan Shangshen completely now--isn't this in line with Prince Ghost's wishes? He planted a seed in the heart of the cultivator who will ascend, we can't remove the seed, we can only kill the cultivator, is this really the only way the way of heaven responds to good and evil?"

"..." Gong Wei fell silent, wrinkling her beautiful brows.

"I'm the best candidate to resolve the obstacles. If you don't worry about it, you can visit me in every lifetime." Xuan Jinghe paused, and said with relief: "You can turn into a little fox, and you can visit me in every lifetime." Pass by the door of my reincarnation, so that every time I am born, I will remember the agreement with you. After thousands of years, when I have worn out the barriers of killing, I will meet you again under the gate of heaven, isn't it good?"

The luminous pearl is shining brightly, and Gong Wei's quiet face is clear and clear in the brilliance.

Outside the hall at this moment, Xu Shuangce stood in the wind, as if he had stopped breathing.

"...No, I am the best candidate." After a long time, Gongwei finally said slowly.

Xuan Jinghe was puzzled: "But—" "It was I who failed to perform my duties well and gave the ghost prince an opportunity to take advantage of. It was I who failed to protect the monks who were about to ascend, which caused the current collapse of the Taoist sect." Miserable situation." Gong Wei said calmly, "I should be the one who endured the pain of reincarnation for a thousand years."

Xuan Jinghe's voice was unusually severe: "How can you think so! The person who proposed this method is me, and my fate is the most suitable. How can you let go of the near and seek the far away!"

Gong Wei laughed, he had a kind of detachment and mischievousness unique to teenagers: "Because I don't want to become a little fox and go down to see you."

Xuan Jinghe didn't expect this answer, and was slightly taken aback.

"Because I'm just Xu Bai's fox." Gong Wei innocently held his chin, his clear eyes seemed to be shining: "If I turn into a little fox to visit you again, it will be a breach of my original promise, and Xu Bai will be angry with me." of."

Under the cold and moonlit night, a cool breeze blew past, raising the hair and sleeves of the God of the East.

After a long time, Xu Shuangce tightly closed his eyes.

At dawn the next day, all the gods gathered in the heaven again, still unable to resolve Beiyuan's killing.

The God of East Heaven, who had always been reticent, suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, and his words were unquestionable. He publicly asked everyone to go down to earth and exchange fate with Beiyuan, and use the suffering of a thousand years of reincarnation to resolve the killing obstacle that destroyed the world.

This is also the first time since the beginning of the world, the upper heaven was shaken again.
