"Can't let him go."
Sang Sasha murmured, and suddenly felt warmth in her palm. She looked down and found that a warm and generous hand was holding hers.
"I know what you're thinking."
Fang Jie looked at her and shook his head: "Sorry, I don't have the ability to stop him."
Sang Sasha felt a little ache in her heart, the man said sorry to her, these three words made her feel uncomfortable. She could feel the apology in Fang Jie's heart, as well as his loss.
"I just think that he must have something to do with Wudao Mountain."
"Um."
Fang Jie nodded: "He said I was chosen by heaven. You once said that King Dalun Ming named Tianxuan and Tianshou. King Dalun Ming followed your ancestor Sang Luan back then, so he must have listened to many things. Sang Luan mentioned that this person doesn’t have a good impression of the Buddhist sect, and he can say something like Tianxuan, maybe it really has something to do with Wudao Mountain.”
Fang Jie thought for a while and asked, "Is there anyone else on Wudao Mountain..."
"Father's cultivation level is not as good as that of a human being, even weaker than me. There may be some unworldly masters who live in seclusion on the Enlightenment Mountain, but I don't know such a person. Did you see that he just swallowed Your flame! That day when you fought against Luo Yao..."
"He said it was called Tuntian Gong."
Fang Jie once again remembered the time when he had a decisive battle with Luo Yao, the person who tore apart Luo Yao's world and swallowed Luo Yao's cultivation.
"not him."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Just now I thought it was him, but now it's definitely not him. I still remember that look, with so much greed in it. There is no greed in this person's eyes, maybe because he doesn't need to be greedy anymore .He said that Luo Tu practiced the Heaven Swallowing Kung Fu..."
Fang Jie recalled the few times he met Luo Tu when he was at the left front, then shook his head again: "But it wasn't Luo Tu that day, although Luo Tu was greedy, compared to that person, his greed was well hidden. , That person's eyes were not concealed at all that day."
When Fang Xie thought of that person, when he talked for the first time in Chang'an City, the look in his eyes surprised him. It's just that the greed in his eyes at that time was faintly present, and that greed was infinitely magnified when he devoured Luo Yao that day.
Fang Jie looked in the direction where the man in white was going away, and tightened his grip on Sang Sasha's hand.
…
…
Going east along the small river north of Jin'an City, there is a bamboo forest about ten miles away, next to a small mountain. There are no mountains and steep mountains here, but there is a quiet and profound beauty. The bamboo forest is very deep. Walking along the path stepped by the villagers, the light becomes very dark after tens of meters. The tall and straight bamboo leaves are thick and dense, covering the bright sunlight.
The figure of the man in white appeared outside the bamboo forest. After a short pause, he walked into the bamboo forest along the path. After going in for more than ten meters, a man who hid himself in a big cloak stood there respectfully. Seeing the man in white walking in, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Master."
The man in white nodded slightly, walked to a very clean stone and sat down, leaned over to wash his hands with water from the stream passing through the bamboo forest, seemed to like the clearness of the water, and took a sip of the water.
"You should be careful."
He said something lightly.
The man in the cloak bowed and said, "The master told me to be careful, so I dare not be careless. Besides, this place is not far from the Black Banner Army camp, so I need to be more careful."
"Letting you stay by Fang Jie's side is just to let you protect him for me."
The man in white said in a calm voice.
"Master, I know I shouldn't ask, but I'm still curious... Fang Jie seems to have something that particularly interests you, so you sent me to protect him. But after observing for so long, this person has too many shortcomings. He He is not a qualified hero, he is a bit reckless and willful in his actions, his heart is not cold enough, and he has not learned to let go of some indifferent feelings. Although he is indeed a talent, he may not be able to achieve great things in the future."
"It's just for you to protect him, not for you to think so much. Do I need him to make a big deal?"
The man in white glanced at the man, who quickly lowered his head: "Of course the master doesn't need it. If the master is willing, the whole world belongs to the master."
"Is it tasty?"
The man in white suddenly asked.
The man was obviously stunned for a moment, then he lifted his robe and knelt down: "I am making my own opinion, please punish me, master!"
"Do you know why I chose you in the first place?"
The man in white said: "It is precisely because you are greedy enough, the more greedy a person is, the more fighting spirit and courage you have, and in order to make you more greedy, I taught you the skill of swallowing heaven, so, if you think you don't say it, I will not I know how you will choose? If I guessed correctly, you must have waited until the last moment on the day of the decisive battle between Fang Jie and Luo Yao. It is the best time when Luo Yao throws away his cultivation and wants to take Fang Jie's body forcibly. opportunity."
"yes."
The man lowered his head and said: "As master expected, I did wait until Luo Yao shook off his cultivation before making a move, and then... then swallowed his cultivation."
"King Dalun Ming has some wisdom and has created a way to escape from reincarnation. Although it is disgusting, he is still on the road. He needs a strong power of soul to live by a substitute. That is the best tonic. Compared with his Cultivation needs to be nourished. So after swallowing Luo Yao, you feel that you are already very strong, don't you?"
The man in white asked in a flat tone, then turned to look at the man.
Boom!
The man wrapped in the cloak was directly pressed into the soil by a sudden pressure, and only one head was exposed. He wanted to lift up, pain was all over his face. The bamboo forest with a radius of several hundred meters bent down with the pressure, making an overwhelmed clicking sound.
"I can tolerate the greed of my servants, because greed has always been the driving force for people to go up. But if greed turns into wildness, how can I bear it?"
He raised his hand, a beautiful, slender and clean hand.
The eyes of the man wrapped in the cloak were full of fear and pleading: "Master... I have never betrayed your mind, never... I have been doing things according to the master's orders for so many years. Whether it is in Tai Sui or By Fang Xie's side, even though he has selfish and greedy thoughts, he dare not miss the master's important business."
The man in white stretched out his hand and shook it in the air, and the man's face became more painful. His body trembled violently, as if he was enduring great pain. The man in white held his hand and pulled it into his arms, and then a blurry figure twisted crazily and was pulled out from the top of the man's head.
This phantom roared and struggled like a wild beast, violent and vicious, but it couldn't break free from the man's hand in white. After a while, the phantom was pulled out of the man's body by the man in white.
The man in white looked at the phantom and sighed slightly: "There is no one in this world who is more serious than you in terms of unwillingness and ambition."
The face of the man wrapped in the cloak was as white as paper, and beads of sweat kept rolling down his face. If it wasn't for his body being completely embedded in the soil, he would have been limp on the ground by now. He looked at the phantom in mid-air, with fear and shock in his eyes.
"You thought you swallowed him?"
The man in white looked at the man, and slowly shook his head: "Even after being seriously injured, his spiritual strength far exceeds yours... The reason why you can swallow him is because he is willing to be swallowed by you. He has lost The solution is to lose the body and want to seize the soul, but at this time you came and swallowed his cultivation base, and under the interference, he has no chance to seize the soul again, so he thought of the second method without hesitation. That is to be swallowed by you."
The man in white looked back at the phantom that was still struggling: "If there is no accident, it won't be long before your spiritual power is eaten back by him, and your body is his new body. I don't think greed is Bad things, but everything has two sides, greedy people often end badly."
As soon as his hand tightened, the phantom let out a howl.
"You still underestimate him. He can create a thousand-year foundation of Buddhism, create a practice method to avoid reincarnation, and split himself in two for self-protection. Whether it is greed or ambition, he is better than you. There are too many. He has been calculating for thousands of years in his life, how can you compare?"
The man in white opened his mouth, and a golden flame spewed out immediately. After the flame left his mouth, it wrapped around the phantom, and the phantom struggled more violently immediately, and a sound like a broken bellows came from the phantom. It came out from the body, and it was extraordinarily horrific.
"Borrowed a fire, just to see you off."
The man in white looked at the phantom and said, "You should have lived enough after living for a thousand years."
A few minutes later, the phantom was burnt out by the golden flames. Before the phantom was hours old, the screaming sound could almost break through any obstacles and floated out, but was blocked by a burst of white brilliance.
At this time, the man wrapped in the cloak was already trembling with fright.
"I'll spare you this time."
The man in white turned his palm upwards, and the man wrapped in the cloak immediately turned up from the mud. Losing the support of the soil, Naren immediately fell limp on the ground and started to vomit. He vomited profusely. After vomiting out the contents of his stomach, he began to vomit yellow water. The appearance of retching made people uncomfortable.
His face was extremely ugly, as if he might die at any time.
"Thank... thank you, master!"
After a while, the man wrapped in the cloak struggled to get up and knelt before the man in white again. He didn't dare to look up at the face of the man in white, and he didn't know whether it was because he was still afraid or because he was afraid of the man in white, his body felt like he was sifting chaff.
…
…
"I want to see clearly, so I need Fang Xie to live."
The man in white raised his head and looked at the sky through a small gap in the bamboo forest: "Is there any kind of power in this world that maintains it? I haven't found the answer until now. I have been trying to see everything clearly, but I am always confused by illusions." Eyes. Fang Jie is chosen by heaven, and no one is more suitable than him to help me see clearly. I want him to live, walk, and succeed in the way of a chosen person. After he succeeds, or in the process of success, Maybe I can use him to see clearly whether there is really an order that no one can touch."
"I don't kill you, not because you don't deserve to die, but because Fang Jie still needs you by his side."
The man in white looked at the man and said, "No matter how greedy you are, you have to be conscious... Fang Jie is the pawn I use to see the world and the sky clearly, and you are just a pawn of this pawn, understand?"
"clear!"
The man nodded quickly.
"You just asked me why it was Fang Jie and not someone else."
The man in white was silent for a while and then said: "Because he is the most suitable person, it's as simple as that."
After saying this, the man in white stood up and was about to leave, but the man wrapped in the cloak hurriedly got up to get out of the way. After the man in white took a few steps, he finally couldn't help asking: "Master, if Fang Jie doubts me, what to do?"
The man in white looked back at him and said indifferently: "I want Fang Jie to live because he is useful, and you are living now because you are still useful..."
The man trembled and dared not speak any more.
