inside.
The gray-white smoke that filled the sky seemed to be collapsing and disappearing bit by bit.
It no longer burns like a raging fire, and no longer sweeps like a stormy sea. Instead, it becomes more and more void and ethereal.
and.
It seems that the gray smoke does not seem to be dissipating, but more like gathering.
That's right!
It is gathering.
The gray and white smoke all over the sky is gathering in the center of the image, forming a slowly rotating vortex, as if it is pregnant with something.
at the same time.
The void that was originally pitted in the palace is also gradually healing, the cracks and holes are getting smaller and smaller, and less and less obvious, especially as the gray smoke slowly gathers, the broken void in the palace is healing faster and faster faster.
When the gray and white smoke that filled the sky no longer enveloped the void, and all gathered into a vortex, the void in the Li Palace was almost restored to its original state. Looking around, I could no longer see any cracks, any holes, not even a single one, as if the void had never been broken Just like before, not even a trace was left.
I do not know how long it has been.
The Void is finally restored.
It still looks like the ever-changing void that contains infinite mysteries.
The gray smoke all over the sky also disappeared.
Only a gray whirlpool was left spinning slowly.
The vortex turns more and more void, more and more ethereal.
Faintly, in the gray and white vortex, it seems to see a figure, a distorted and blurred figure.
As the gray and white vortex became more and more illusory, the originally distorted and blurred figure became clearer and clearer.
is a man.
A plain-looking man dressed in white.
The man stood in the void with his head bowed and his eyes closed.
Like a reflection in water, looming.
Three thousand ink-like long hair danced wildly with the whirlpool of gray and white.
Katsuyuki's white clothes also whirled along with the whirlpool of gray and white.
See this man.
The old beggar hiding on Heishui Mountain blushed with excitement, and shouted: "It's that boy! Look! It's that boy Youdi! Big sister of Heishui! No! Mistress Heishui, it seems that your guess is right, Youdi That kid's self-awareness really hasn't been swallowed! This kid is still alive! He's still alive! Hahaha! This old man knows that this kid is blessed with a great life, and he will definitely not be swallowed! Hahahaha!"
The old beggar was so excited that he clenched his fists tightly, his body was trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes were a little red!
The Heishui empress, who was tightly wrapped in a black robe, had a cold and beautiful face, and her expression changed again and again. Although she tried her best to conceal it, her eyes could not conceal the excitement in her heart.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, as if restraining the excitement in her heart, and said: "Old beggar, I advise you not to be happy too early, it is still too early to determine whether Emperor You's self-awareness has been swallowed up, you It should be known that if that smear of spiritual consciousness beyond the Dao devours Emperor You's self-awareness, it is equivalent to occupying his physical body, and the appearance of Emperor Youdi's physical body does not mean that his self-consciousness has not been swallowed!"
heard the words.
The excited old beggar fell silent for a while.
It was he himself who fell into the abyss of despair before.
Later, the conjecture of the Black Water Empress pulled him out of the abyss of despair, but maybe two words made the old beggar fall into the abyss of despair again.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng's figure gradually appear at this moment, for the old beggar, he once again climbed out of the abyss of despair. He never thought that the words of Empress Heishui would make him fall into the abyss of despair again!
This feeling of reincarnation in hope and despair with one thought of heaven and one thought of hell is really uncomfortable. The tortured old beggar feels more painful than being suppressed in Guixu.
actually.
Speaking up.
Empress Heishui didn't intend to hit the old beggar on purpose.
It's not so much that her words extinguished the hope rekindled in the old beggar's heart again and again.
Rather, she extinguished the hope in her heart again and again.
Because she knows that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and the greater the disappointment, the greater the despair.
She doesn't want to despair!
so.
Even if she speculates that Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness may not be swallowed up with reason, he dare not have too much hope.
Even now that she witnessed Gu Qingfeng's physical body reappearing with her own eyes, she still told herself again and again not to have any hope!
She didn't want to hope that what awaited her was endless despair.
She might also be able to afford to wait and lose.
But she didn't want to wait, and she didn't want to lose!
"Sister Heishui, you'd better pray that the self-awareness of Emperor You is not swallowed up, otherwise, I will tease this old man at you again and again, and this old man will never let you go!"
The old beggar had had enough, his heart couldn't stand the torment of wandering between hope and despair, he felt that he was about to collapse.
inside.
The gray and white vortex has become faintly visible, like a wisp of green smoke, but Gu Qingfeng's figure is getting clearer and clearer.
not far away.
There is another person who has been staring, and is still staring in the open, never leaving.
The man was wearing a worn-out monk's robe, a worn-out monk's hat, worn-out monk's shoes on his feet, and a worn-out fan hanging from his waist.
Who is it if it's not Daxing crazy monk
When I witnessed Gu Qingfeng's mad demon massacre the masters of the Tao who were dormant in the void, when I witnessed Gu Qing's figure disappearing bit by bit into the gray smoke all over the sky, it is no exaggeration to say that the Daxing crazy monk is more powerful than anyone else. despair!
However, after the despair passed, when he gradually accepted the cruel reality, his heart also calmed down.
When his heart calmed down, he who was originally hopeless rekindled his hope.
Like Empress Heishui and the old beggar, he also thought of someone.
Eternal nameless.
Empress Heishui suspects that Eternal Wuming has been carefully planning in secret, with the purpose of waiting for Gu Qingfeng to win the original sin, and then obliterate him, so as to completely obliterate the original sin.
Daxing crazy monk is more suspicious than Heishui empress.
The Heishui empress knew that it was impossible for the ancient Wuming to watch Gu Qingfeng's self-consciousness being swallowed up by the existence outside the Dao, and the Daxing crazy monk knew better than her.
Based on this, Empress Heishui speculated that Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness might not have been swallowed up, and after the Daxing Monk calmed down, he gradually had this feeling.
only.
Empress Heishui didn't dare to be 100% sure, and Daxing Mad Monk also didn't dare to be 100% sure.
Empress Heishui is waiting.
Daxing crazy monk is also waiting.
in the void.
The looming gray-white vortex finally disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
Gu Qingfeng's figure once again appeared in everyone's sight very clearly.
He just stood there in the void.
head down.
Close your eyes.
The black hair fluttering before also calmed down, and the flying white clothes stopped making noise.
quiet!
Deathly silence.
here.
No one knows whether Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness has been swallowed up by the existence outside the Dao.
Daxing crazy monk doesn't know, Heishui empress doesn't know, old beggar doesn't know, Cang Yan doesn't know, even the ancient nameless don't know, and all the masters in the world don't know.
Everyone is waiting.
Wait for an answer.
Whether it's the one who guards the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the one who plots to sin against Allah, or the one who pins his hope on Gu Qingfeng, they are all waiting.
Especially when the gray and white vortex disappeared and Gu Qingfeng's figure clearly appeared, everyone's hearts were raised in their throats at this moment.
This is even more true for the Daxing Mad Monk.
As time passed bit by bit, Gu Qingfeng in the void still remained motionless, with his head lowered and his eyes closed.
The old beggar hiding on Heishui Mountain stared at Gu Qingfeng in the void.
His mind, his spirit, his nerves, etc. are all in an extremely tense state.
The old beggar has experienced such extreme tension only twice in his life. The first time was when he was waiting for the beginning of the age of no way in the ancient times. This is the second time.
He felt even more nervous and tormented than when he was waiting for the beginning of the age of no way.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement from Gu Qingfeng.
The old beggar felt that he was going crazy.
He wanted to use his spiritual sense to investigate, but he didn't dare.
It's not that after Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness is swallowed up by the existence outside the Dao, he will use his divine sense to investigate, which will anger the existence outside the Dao and set him on fire.
The old beggar is not afraid of angering the existence outside the avenue, nor is he afraid of provoking his upper body.
He was afraid that he would not be able to bear the cruel reality of Gu Qingfeng being swallowed.
Having been tortured by the Black Water Empress several times before, he has been wandering between despair and hope. No matter how strong the psychological endurance of the old beggar is, he can't stand such a toss.
But it is not a solution to just wait like this, it is too tormented and painful!
finally!
The old beggar shook his heart, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and decided to fight it out!
He took several deep breaths in a row, but still couldn't restrain the trembling in his heart.
Shaking his head violently, he raised his head and poured another jar of fine wine.
The old beggar clenched his fists, poked his head, and used his spiritual sense to carefully explore the past.
near!
Getting closer.
The old beggar closed his eyes nervously, and his body couldn't help shaking.
However.
When he finally mustered up the courage to sacrifice his spiritual consciousness to investigate Gu Qingfeng, he was dumbfounded.
Because he found that his spiritual sense could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng at all.
Opening his eyes all of a sudden, the old beggar slapped himself fiercely, scolding himself inwardly for being too stupid, how could he forget such a thing when he was so nervous!
The old beggar didn't feel any surprise that his spiritual sense could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng. Instead of being surprised, he felt that he was too stupid.
Because before that, he could not detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng even with his divine sense.
Since the divine sense cannot detect the existence of Gu Qingfeng, what should we do
Why don't you go and see for yourself
As soon as this idea came up, the old beggar directly denied it without even thinking about it.
Originally, he had been tortured by the Black Water Empress and was almost on the verge of collapse, so he finally made up his mind to go all out and sacrifice his spiritual sense to investigate, but nothing was found.
Using his spiritual sense to investigate had exhausted his last bit of endurance, and the old beggar didn't dare to go to investigate in person.
