Qiao Xuan suddenly pushed open the door and strode in.
The light in the room was slightly dim, and Taichu was leaning on the stone bed. His face was cold and pale, and there was no blood on his lips. Only those black eyes looked at Qiao Xuan with a gentle and indifferent expression, as usual.
Qiao Xuan clenched his hand hanging by his side. He had never seen such a master. Even in the last moment of the ancient era, although the master was sad and helpless, he was never so weak, as if he had been exhausted. angry…
Why, why didn't I notice the slightest clue before
Qiao Xuan's lips trembled. He stepped forward, knelt down in front of Master, held Master's hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Master... what's going on?"
Taichu looked down at him, and said with a slight smile, "I'm just destined to come, don't worry."
How could I not worry! What destiny is coming? Isn't this about dying? How can you be so calm, how can you be so indifferent, say such words...
Qiao Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and his voice was hoarse: "No, Master, you were fine before, nothing happened at all, how could you suddenly, just..."
"It's not too sudden." Tai Chu seemed a little tired, coughed lightly, and said, "Shu Chen, tell me."
Shu Chen stood behind Qiao Xuan all the time. Hearing this, he was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Okay."
Qiao Xuan turned to look at Shuchen.
"You asked me before how we survived, but I didn't tell you at that time..." Shu Chen pursed his lips, closed his eyes and opened them again, hiding the powerless look in his eyes, and slowly said: "At the beginning After you were swallowed by the chaos, the entire Three Realms had been burned to the ground, only me and senior brother were left, I thought we would die too, it was Taichu... Senior brother, he chose to sacrifice his body at the last moment, merging into the way of heaven, With the help of the power of heaven, he sealed the fire of chaos that had burned the three realms, but the price was that he became an apostle of heaven from now on, and he had to guard the seal of chaos all his life, and he must never let the fire of chaos reappear. Backlashed by the power of heaven... But, the fire of chaos is still alive... "
Shu Chen's voice lowered, as if he couldn't continue.
Taichu lightly stroked Qiao Xuan's head, laughed lightly, and said in a calm and gentle tone, "Actually, I was already dead that day, and now I'm just borrowing the power of heaven to continue my life. It's my fault... I can't protect the seal. Therefore, it is only natural to bear the punishment of heaven and pay back this life.
But you don't have to worry too much, there are three seals of chaos, as long as they are not broken, they cannot become the real fire of destroying the world... "
Shuchen added: "Even if something happens to my brother, I will protect the last seal for my brother, and never let the fire of destruction reappear."
Qiao Xuan clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly he smiled: "So, after talking for a long time, you mean that you are going to die, but the Three Realms are fine, and we will all be fine, is that what you mean?"
Taichu lowered his eyes and looked at Qiao Xuan tenderly, and said, "Don't..."
Qiao Xuan suddenly waved Taichu's hand away, his chest heaved in anger, and he sneered sharply and said: "Don't worry, do you? Or don't let me be sad?"
You have arranged everything, even death, and even the aftermath, you have already prepared... But now let me not worry, don't be sad...
Why do you think I won't be sad or worried
Do I look so heartless
Do you think I don't care about this hundred years of getting along
Qiao Xuan took a deep breath, turned around and rushed out suddenly.
He didn't dare to stay there any longer, fearing that he would lose control of his emotions and say irrational words.
The master is already like this, the master must be more sad than himself in his heart, how can he let the master down and sad...
Qiao Xuan ran for a long, long distance, with his hands on his knees, panting... The cold air poured into his chest, he slowly calmed down, turned around, and found that Shu Chen was following him.
Shu Chen's gray eyes were sad, looking at him from a distance, as if he wanted to get closer but dared not, with a hesitant expression.
Qiao Xuan stood up straight, walked over step by step, looked into Shu Chen's eyes, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "You already knew, didn't you?"
Why did Master leave suddenly when he was in Beiling Sea? Was it then...
But you kept it from me.
Pretend nothing happened.
You have discussed it a long time ago. Is it interesting to just fool me like a fool
Shu Chen's face paled slightly, he pursed his lips tightly, and said seriously: "If you said that senior brother merged into the heaven, I would have known about it a long time ago, but the seal of chaos has been broken, and his time is running out... I am concerned about this matter." I didn't know it before, I thought..."
Thought it would be a long time.
Qiao Xuan looked at Shuchen, he nodded, didn't go into the details, just said coldly: "Okay, but I still have a question that I don't understand, since Master has merged into the Heavenly Dao, he wants to protect the Three Realms and the seal for the Heavenly Dao, and the seal is broken It broke, why didn't he just seal it again, there should be a way to remedy it?"
Shuchen's voice was low and hoarse, "The appearance of the fire of chaos means the restart of the Three Realms. This is its mission. The fire of chaos in ancient times had already destroyed the Three Realms... Even if there is no brother to take action, the fire will have nowhere to go. Burning, it must be extinguished, that is the time when the fire of chaos is weakest... Brother took the opportunity to divide its origin into three and seal it, the purpose is to prevent its reappearance, but after so many years, the power of the seal has gradually declined, Now that the flame of chaos has reappeared, it is no longer something he can re-seal now... Senior brother can't do it, and no one can... "
"Maybe one day, everything will happen again..." Shu Chen laughed at himself, and said slowly: "It's just that we can delay this process for a while, ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years... It may not be impossible, As long as the Chaos Flame is not fully fused, it will not become a real World Extinct Flame, and we still have time."
Qiao Xuan clenched his hands so hard that they turned white.
So, is there nothing you can do
Is this the price for Master's survival
Become a part of the way of heaven, linger on, use the power of the way of heaven to continue life, become a prisoner of the way of heaven, guard the seal for the way of heaven all his life, and guard the three realms... He has done so much, and he has come here for hundreds of thousands of years, but once he fails, he will be punished by the way of heaven Give up and be punished by heaven.
Is this the so-called benevolence of heaven? !
Is the way of heaven fucking unreasonable? Is this the end of doing things for you
Qiao Xuan suppressed the anger in his chest: "This god is really not a thing. Even if the fire of chaos reappears, but Master has paid so much, why bother to kill it all."
Shu Chen's face turned pale, and he quickly said: "Don't talk about the way of heaven, let alone...that was the choice of the senior brother. We cultivators must fulfill the oath we made, otherwise we will be backlashed. In heaven, we wait..."
Qiao Xuan gritted his teeth and was very unwilling to be angry, but gradually a look of depression appeared in his eyes.
He hated God for not having eyes.
I also hate Master for not telling me everything.
But he still hated himself the most. He felt that he had harmed Master.
In that lifetime, the real calamity should be here.
If he hadn't saved Bai Cang, he wouldn't have caused Bai Cang to pursue him crazily, and in the end he would not hesitate to use the fire of chaos...
"It was Bai Cang who opened the seal, right?" Qiao Xuan said word by word.
Before he left, he thought about killing Bai Cang, but in the end he relented and let go, but at this moment he regretted it, why didn't he kill the devil
Indeed, he has compassion for Bai Cang, but if Bai Cang's actions lead to the destruction of the Three Realms and Master sacrificed his life... then he will definitely not be merciful.
Shu Chen hesitated for a moment, then said: "Maybe, what he used that day was somewhat like the fire of chaos..."
"But I'm not sure. There are so many gods and demons in the three realms, maybe they are just similar flames..." Shu Chen comforted Qiao Xuan, saying, "Bai Cang is not easy to deal with, and he has a deep obsession with you. You must not be impulsive."
Qiao Xuan's eyes were cold: "What if it is? Is it possible to kill Bai Cang and re-seal the Chaos Flame, so that God will no longer trouble Master?"
Shu Chen frowned and said: "I said it before, no matter whether it is Bai Cang or not, once the seal is broken, no one can re-seal it. Don't mess around... and there are three seals. What we should do now is to protect the last seal. .”
Qiao Xuan gritted his teeth tightly, and suddenly turned around and left.
... ... ...
In the early morning of the second day, Qiao Xuan personally cooked for Master and sent it to Master.
Taichu woke up, looked at Qiao Xuan by his side, and smiled: "When did you come here?"
Qiao Xuan looked slightly silent. Master seldom slept so deeply before, and he would not even notice when he was around him. Now Master may be dying, and heaven and man have five declines. He is much more tired than before. , but he is becoming more and more like a person, but Qiao Xuanning is still the same as before, he is a high god, and he will never be vulnerable...
"Master, are you hungry?" Qiao Xuan took the porridge he cooked and carefully delivered it to the master, looking at him expectantly.
Taichu's eyes were gentle, he nodded and said: "It's just a little bit."
He sat up while propping himself up.
Although the temperament is still cold, but when the man drank the porridge, there was more smoke and fire, which made people more approachable, less ethereal and empty, as if within reach...
Qiao Xuan sat aside with his chin resting, staring at the man beside him.
When I first crossed over, I was still a bird, and I was used to being a human being. At first, I was very unaccustomed to being a bird, and I couldn’t even walk well. When he was in this strange world, very helpless and scared, it was Master who kept walking. Be by his side, take care of him, teach him tirelessly, and give him the hope of being a new man...
Master knows that he is afraid of bugs, and never let those bugs frighten him. Master knows that he likes to eat clean food, so he will wash the fruit clean, then cut it and put it in front of him. Master will make a clean and soft nest for himself. Use it for sleeping, and gently and patiently comb your feathers...
Although I don't have a high level of comprehension and learn slowly, but the master seems to be strict, but he never dislikes him, teaching him over and over again...
Gradually, I felt that as long as I was with this person, I could just be a bird, and it was no big deal.
As long as the master is there, even if the sky falls, he will not be afraid...
All along, it was Master who took care of him and protected him.
I am so useless, and always playful and cause trouble...
That's right, for me like this, even if the master told me about these things, what's the point? Anyway, I can't help much, in the eyes of Master, I must be very useless...
It's useless to say.
However, at this moment, he suddenly didn't want to be the same as before, always silently waiting for the master to protect him, he didn't want to always accept his fate and stop resisting, he didn't want to just accept his fate like this.
Qiao Xuan's lips moved slightly, and suddenly he said in a hoarse voice: "Master, once the seal of chaos is broken, is it really impossible to seal it again? I know who broke the seal..."
Taichu chuckled and shook his head, interrupting his words: "Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and the power of the seal has gradually weakened. This day will come sooner or later. No matter who it is, it doesn't really mean much..."
Qiao Xuan said unhappily: "If you say that, since it will be destroyed sooner or later, what are we still insisting on? Why don't we all lie down and die!"
Taichu looked at him helplessly, and sighed: "Don't say that, isn't there still a last seal? Shuchen will help me continue to protect it. After I leave, this hanging valley will be handed over to him, even if one day, The past will repeat itself, but it must be a long, long time from now...”
Yes, maybe ten thousand years later, one hundred thousand years later, one million years later...
What happened after such a long time, maybe when that day came, I was almost tired of living.
However, you don't have so much time.
Qiao Xuan clenched his fists, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm leaving."
He walks out of there.
Take a deep breath.
He bowed his head and smiled wryly.
Master has considered everything, even explained the future clearly, but he is still not reconciled, after all, he doesn't have the kindness to face such a result...
Qiao Xuan suddenly turned around and walked towards the exit of the valley.
But at the entrance of the valley, Shu Chen stopped Qiao Xuan and said, "Where are you going?"
Qiao Xuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You came just in time, why don't you accompany me to see Bai Cang? Maybe if you seal the Chaos Fire again, Master will be saved. What problem can staying here solve?"
Shu Chen grasped Qiao Xuan's wrist, frowned and said, "I said, don't go to Bai Cang, you are not Bai Cang's opponent, and it's useless to go..."
Qiao Xuan looked into Shu Chen's eyes, and suddenly said coldly: "I felt strange last time, Bai Cang did such a thing, almost destroying the Three Realms, and indirectly killed Master, why are you not angry at all, you Don't you want to kill him? Why don't you let me go to Bai Cang? Why are you so calm? Besides, if you don't try, how will you know there is no way... Could it be that you don't even try hard because it's useless? Are you willing to accept it all like this... "
Shu Chen's face changed, and he lowered his eyes: "I just don't want you to take unnecessary risks and do meaningless things."
Qiao Xuan raised the corner of his mouth mockingly: "Oh, is that so?"
Shuchen held Qiao Xuan's hand tightly, and said word by word: "It's God's will, don't be too persistent... If something happens to you, the brother is really not at ease. Could it be that it's time like this, and you still have to let him go?" Is senior brother worried about you?"
Qiao Xuanding looked at Shu Chen for a long time, and then suddenly said: "Okay, I won't go, you can relax."
Shu Chen seemed a little disbelieving, and said, "Really?"
Qiao Xuan opened the corner of his mouth and said mockingly: "You're right. I'm not Bai Cang's opponent. I escaped back with great difficulty. Are you going to find him and throw yourself into a trap? I won't leave, Master has no time." Duo, I just want to be with him right now."
Seeing that Qiao Xuan's words did not seem to be fake, Shu Chen finally let go slowly, and said softly, "It's good if you can think so."
Qiao Xuan shook his head: "Sorry, I won't let you worry any more."
Together they returned to the valley.
At night, Qiao Xuan stayed alone in the house with the door closed.
He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the bed. In the middle of the night, he suddenly opened his eyes, the expression in his eyes was dim... He needed to see Bai Cang again to find out what happened.
Master's deadline is approaching, how can I remain indifferent and do nothing...
He can't do it.
Qiao Xuan settled down, his eyes were sharp, and with a wave of his hand, a golden plume fell to the ground, transforming into a handsome young man... Now he can easily master this art of incarnation outside his body, and it is no longer as difficult as it used to be.
... ... ...
In the Demon Palace of the Western Wilderness, Bai Cang sat in the deserted and lonely hall, twirling a golden feather in his hand and staring blankly.
The bottom of the eyes is the color of nostalgia and nostalgia.
Suddenly, a chuckle echoed in the hall, Ruohua looked at Bai Cang from a distance, covered his lips and smiled lowly: "Why did your lord figure it out again, and you are willing to let Qiao Xuan go?"
Bai Cang raised his eyes coldly: "This is none of your business."
Ruohua sighed quietly: "Why is your lord so indifferent? Ruohua just wants to cooperate with you. Is your lord really unwilling to go to the heaven with me? If you can break the last seal, you and I will be invincible from now on. Anything is naturally at your fingertips.”
Bai Cang's sharp eyes fell on Ruohua, and the corners of his lips teased: "The goddess asked me to help you open the seal several times. She is really persistent, but I am curious about one thing... Is the goddess really just to gain power?"
Ruohua's eyes flashed slightly: "Why did your lord say that, you and I are both practitioners, and your lord is even in the Western Wilderness, a place where people can't spit out their bones. How could you not know that only the power in your own hands can be powerful?" Is the most reliable, I want to become strong why so strange."
"Of course it's strange..." Bai Cang said each word with deep meaning, and said slowly: "At the beginning when you and I were in the ruins, although we each got a ray of magic flame, the seal was not damaged, but I heard that the goddess It means that during this time... the seal between the mortal world and the underworld has been broken. It can be seen that this seal is not so difficult to break. Why do I have to help? Or... the one who opened the seal—it wasn’t you at all.”
Ruohua's complexion finally changed, and he stared at Bai Cang slightly.
"And I have lived for so many years, and I have always understood a truth. There is no benefit in this world for nothing. There is no such thing as invincibility, immortality, such a great temptation... If I want to get it, what price will I have to pay?" Bai Cang said. The laughter was cold and dark: "Why don't you explain the confusion to this deity today if you are a goddess?"
Ruohua stared at Bai Cang for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, his clear laughter was like a silver bell, and the corners of his lips curled up and said: "How can Ruohua know things that your lord can't understand? No."
Bai Cang shook his head: "Since Goddess has no sincerity, please come back. You and I have different opinions and do not conspire with each other. Don't come here again."
Ruohua's eyes are dim, thoughtful.
The figure gradually disappeared into the hall.
Bai Cang came outside alone.
He looked up at the deep night sky, squinted his eyes, and thought of five hundred years ago.
At that time, he had already dominated the Western Wilderness, but he searched the entire Western Wilderness, but he couldn't find a way to revive Qing Xun. Qing Xun voluntarily donated all his blood to save himself, and Qing Xun was dead. After so long, although there are many evil spells in the Western Wilderness Territory, none of them can recall Qing Xun's soul. He even broke into the underworld for this, and fought with Xue Ming, but there was nothing he could do...
Finally, he traveled around the world and came to Nanyue Country.
Because of an accident, he entered an ancient relic search. Although the relic seemed to be old, it was still very dangerous. It was left by a strong man named Donggan Shengzun. Inhaled into an abyss, where he met Ruohua who was also involved, and a strange and mysterious seal like a water mask.
Inside, a flame is sealed.
It was this flame that guided them there. He walked over as if he had been possessed by a demon...
It's like entering an illusion.
Bai Cang frowned and retracted his thoughts, opened his palm, and a small flame shook slightly in the palm of his hand. At first the seal seemed to be crumbling, but it was still not something they could open, but the flame sent a ray of flame to them from the gap...
Bai Cang knew that this was just a little bit of sweetness. Once he tasted the power of this kind of power, he would become a prisoner under the temptation of the magic flame, run around for it, and finally break all the seals...
But he never thought that there is a good thing in the sky, even though it is just a small flame, Bai Cang has enough refining for hundreds of years to grasp a little bit.
At the first try of the sledgehammer, it was amazingly powerful.
Such a terrifying existence, as well as the annihilated ancient relic, the never-before-heard Donggan Holy Venerable... Can the things sealed there really make it reappear in the world
He has done many things wrong.
Hurt someone you love.
How can we make mistakes again and again.
Bai Cang walked slowly in the hall, when footsteps suddenly sounded in front of him, Ji Xiao hurried over, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Qiao is back."
Bai Cang paused, raised his eyes in disbelief, and said in a deep voice, "What did you say?"
Ji Xiao was obviously also very surprised, but he still held his breath and repeated: "Master Qiao is back, and he is waiting for you outside."
Bai Cang's expression changed, he was silent for a moment, and strode forward.
Qiao Xuan'an stood quietly in front of the demon palace, seeing nothing but the countless demons around him. Looking from a distance, the young man stood alone with a magnificent figure.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he slowly turned and looked up at Bai Cang.
Bai Cang stood still not far away, with complicated eyes.
Ji Xiao immediately told the surrounding demon cultivators to leave, at this moment His Majesty definitely didn't want anyone to disturb him.
Finally, Bai Cang said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you come back?"
