Chapter 154: The fire is like a song

Views:

Ye Qiusheng always found Bailishu difficult to understand.

Baili Shu always hides too many thoughts, his figure is hidden in those ancient secrets, so it is impossible to figure out what his thoughts are.

What's more, he didn't know what kind of mood he had been facing all kinds of unspeakable past events of the era.

In fact, what Bailishu was thinking, and what kind of mood he was in, had nothing to do with Ye Qiusheng at all. Even if his guess is correct, this person who suddenly became the master of Jiuxuanmen on the surface is indeed the mysterious figure of the Baili clan that appears repeatedly in the murals of the era, so what does it have to do with him

The two are irrelevant, at most they are partners.

Still an often overlooked partner.

So why

Why did he feel so sad when he saw a young man in a white robe like snow sitting beside the black pool and white spring with a blank expression on his face

Dull, unspeakably sad.

Is he sympathetic

No, it is not.

Regardless of whether Baili Shu is what he speculated or not, the Baili tribe who suffered the curse of the ancient emperor appeared repeatedly in the era, but people like him never need sympathy from others.

Living on the land of the Twelve Dynasties, as long as you hold a sword in your hand, you never need the sympathy of others.

Whether it is cultivating immortals or ordinary people, holding a sword means preparing for death. A responsible person does not need anyone's sympathy even if he is covered in blood on the road ahead.

So, why

Ye Qiusheng thought of the night in the ghost town of Guazhou. The corpses of the sand wolves he had killed were still piled outside the entrance of the cave. He was injured, and his mind was a little dizzy, so he leaned against the rock wall, swayed the spirits, and talked to Baili Shu who was lying in the cave.

At that time, just to keep himself awake, he inadvertently mentioned the Mother and Child Temple in the southeast of the Qi and Qin Dynasty.

So he said nonchalantly.

Said that the name Qiusheng was given to him by the bad old man, and he was picked up in Xia Tian.

After he finished speaking, he began to drink in suspense.

What did Baili Shu suddenly say at that time

—I asked a person who I am, and he told me that your surname is Baili and your single name is Shu, so my name is Bailishu.

Looking at the sad-looking young man sitting expressionlessly with a golden longbow beside him, Ye Qiusheng thought of this for some reason. So the world suddenly became cold at this moment.

Drink when it's cold!

A sip of wine is so strong that it rolls like a knife from the throat to the chest. The ice slag in the bones will be burned under that kind of strong wine, and then although the world is as cold as the ice field in the extreme north, the hand holding the knife will no longer tremble.

But Bailishu said that he never drank alcohol.

What a hassle.

Ye Qiusheng sighed.

He held the knife and walked towards the young man sitting beside the strange spring with a faint white light. Bailishu looked at him quietly, with no expression on his face, his eyes were sealed with ice as before, and there were endless thoughts that could not be peeked under the ice.

Ye Qiusheng walked up to him, knelt down, and put the knife on the cold, dark rock.

——This world is so cold, as cold as a vast ice field, and all you can see are sharp blades. The chill is like ice slag penetrating into the bones, and the breath is cold.

so cold.

So Ye Qiusheng stretched out his hand, and he gently hugged Bailishu.

Like being around a bonfire in the ghost town of Guazhou.

"My surname is Baili, and my single name is Shu. I am Bailishu."

Ye Qiusheng heard Bailishu say this.

The voice was soft, but as calm as ever.

"My surname is Ye. I was picked up in autumn, so I am called Ye Qiusheng."

Ye Qiusheng also answered in a low voice.

The knife was placed on the deep black rock, the blade reflected the firelight of the golden longbow.

In the deep black space, the ancient emperors sleep here. The bright fire in the black royal city is like lava, and the suspended throne is burning like the melting sun. The black water under the royal city is mighty, and it does not know where it came from , I don't know where it is going.

But what does it matter

The world is turned upside down, the era is changing, it is so vast and irresistible, and in this vastness, there will be such a momentary respite.

—You see that the blade is like snow, but it also has to shine on the fire.

…………………

The fire started to burn.

It started to ignite from several roots of the iron tree, and began to seep out from the depth of the bark of the iron tree like heavy bronze armor. The crimson fire flow on the towering branches was rolling like a flood raging on the thick soil. The horned dragon-like branches came alive at this time, and the flames swirled like dragons on the thickly black giant tree.

Chi Yan was on fire.

The sycamore tree, which entrusts the soul of the Buyik people, seems to have recovered in the fire.

Trees are like raging fire, Nirvana is like blazing.

The people of Buyek knelt on the ground, raised their heads, and looked at the towering sacred tree with ecstasy and reverence.

"Nam help me—"

Tears welled up in Dotana's eyes, and she stared at the Shenmu that was bursting with flames from the inside out, her voice was hoarse like the wind on Kla Zhuoma.

Kneeling beside her was Amu.

A Mu raised her head, looking blankly at the sacred tree that seemed to be about to burn, and the bloody tears dried up on her face like scars.

Behind them was the Buyek tribe with a choked voice, and Asa, who was kneeling in the front, slowly crushed the bone chain in his hand.

"All the heavens are burning, why do you survive—"

His voice was suddenly as sharp as a blade, suddenly as sharp as thunder, and suddenly exploded in everyone's ears like that.

With a completely unfamiliar coldness and killing intent.

——This time, what Asa spoke was no longer the language of the Buyik tribe, but another extremely weird and difficult language.

The syllables are ancient and mysterious, and the language alone carries a terrifying power.

This is a sentence like an order.

He took away the power that belonged to Baidi from Amu, and now he used this power to issue terrible orders to Zangmu Amu, the real human being of the Buyik tribe.

The power of the ancient emperor is indeed the most terrifying power in the world.

As soon as the order issued with the help of Baidi's power came out, the voice fell into the air, and the air vibrated. Suddenly, a violent whirlwind rolled up in the temple. In the whirlwind, flaming flames danced wildly like ancient pythons. The sound of fire mixed with the humming of air vibrations, forming an unimaginable force.

It's like the sea water suddenly rose into the sky, and then tens of millions of tons of sea water fell heavily again.

Kneeling on the deep black rocky ground, holding a bone knife and offering blood as a sacrifice, the Buyek tribe was defenseless. For a moment, they only felt tens of thousands of tons of force falling heavily on themselves.

Before even a surprised question could be uttered, all the Buyeks fell to the ground.

Under this heavy blow, the young Buyiks and the elderly fell to the ground and died. Their eyes widened, and the excitement of returning to their homeland remained on their faces.

They didn't know what happened, and died under the terrifying order just now.

As for Amu, who was kneeling beside Dotana, when Asa's voice fell, her head suddenly tilted back crazily at an angle that is impossible for humans, and her pupils suddenly turned the color of red flames, which was extremely ear-piercing. An extremely terrifying scream erupted from her mouth.

The screams that were so piercing and shrill that they should never be human made the whole hall tremble.

The Buyeks who fell to the ground in the heavy wound just now, but survived the serious injuries—those hunters who were physically strong and activated after returning to their original blood—distorted their faces in pain as they screamed.

They wanted to struggle to get up from the ground, but their hands seemed to lose control, and they were still holding the bone blade tightly.

Amidst the screams, the blood in the remaining people's bodies was completely out of control, as if it had been stripped out by some powerful force, it gurgled out from the wound cut by the bone knife, seeping into the deep black rock continuously .

"Asa..."

The pupil of the leader of the Buyik clan, Ke Lang, was dilated. He struggled to get up from the ground, and blood rolled down his face. He looked at the old man standing up slowly in front of the Shenmu in disbelief.

— What happened

In the end what happened

Asa, who was so worshiped and trusted by the Buyik people, stood up in the eyes of all the surviving people. He didn't look back, and pulled out the bone staff inserted into the rock. The bone staff had turned into a long knife at this time, with a cruel and cold light on the blade, and his voice carried a terrifying and familiar power.

— That's Nam's power.

But he used this power to give the order to kill the Buyiks.

How is this going

In the end what happened? ! !

The world changed in an instant, twisted, and became crazy. They were unprepared, and Asa, whom they trusted wholeheartedly, suddenly turned into a completely strange figure in the raging fire. The old, always hunched back suddenly became as straight as a knife, and the whole person changed completely in an instant.

Amidst Amu's screams, the violent wind stirred up the raging fire, dancing wildly like a fiery dragon.

Like the end.

The temple trembled, and the blood of the Buyik tribe seeped into the rock, as if it had penetrated into the heart of the entire royal city. The blood of the Buyik people carries the power of the ancient emperor, which is the glory they want to regain, so it can revive the sycamore tree.

But the sacrifice was wrong from the beginning.

Asa, who presided over this sacrifice, did not intend to revive the Shenmu from the beginning.

Shenmu is one of the cores of Wangcheng.

His purpose is to destroy the Shenmu.

Only the power of the ancient emperor can awaken the divine tree, and in the same way, only the ancient emperor's power can destroy the divine tree.

Amu's body twisted, and flames erupted from her.

But it is not the flame that brings about the recovery of Nirvana.

That is the flame of destruction.

"Amu—"

Dotana, who fell beside Amu and was seriously injured, stretched out her hand, desperately trying to grab her hand.

The flames on Amu's body exploded at this moment, and when the flames swept across Dotana's body, Dotana's voice stopped abruptly.

In an instant, Dotana was reduced to ashes in the flames.

The Buyiks are the people of Namu, and the blood on their bodies hides the breath of Namu, so they are blessed by the flame. When they stepped into the royal city, the flames rekindled on their bodies, and they were safe and sound in the flames.

This is because they are the people of Naam.

But now, Asa holds the power of Namu that he took away from Amu, and with the help of Namu's power, he gives the order to burn it.

How can the subjects rebel against the king

So when the flame that protected them wanted to take their lives in turn, the Buyeks had no power to fight back.

The flames erupting from Amu's body merged with the surrounding flames, and all the flames turned into an ominous scarlet color, and the Buyik people in the flames were burned to ashes.

I don't know why until I die.

—Why their Asa suddenly became a stranger.

The temple began to collapse, and huge rocks began to fall down in large chunks. The rumbling thunder sounded like some ancient existence was roaring furiously.

Flames, falling rocks.

In such a terrifying scene, Asa stood upright holding the bone staff that turned into a long knife, staring at the red sycamore tree in front of him.

He heard all the voices behind him.

Amu's scream, Dotana calling Amu's name, Kron's voice... everything.

But he didn't look back, like a statue.

He stared fixedly at the phoenix tree in front of him, the tree was also trembling amidst the shaking of the earth, and the fire was rolling on the tree—the ancient emperor in the dark was making a furious counterattack, and the top of the tree was like Tens of thousands of horned dragons wandered and occupied. They guard the heart of the royal city.

Asa's seven orifices also began to slowly flow out blood.

The coercion of the ancient emperor spread violently from the sacred tree in front of him—the Baidi, who was sleeping here, was desperate to revive and save the royal city after the sacrificial sacrifice was destroyed.

At this time, the Shenmu is as hard as black iron and indestructible.

However, suddenly, a crack appeared on the trunk of the Shenmu.

The earth's crust ruptured, and the magma spewed out, and the red flame that flowed slowly like liquid in the trunk of the Shenmu burst out from the cracks—as if it was the blood of the Shenmu.

When the crack appeared on the trunk of the sacred tree, it was on the altar in the deepest part of the temple. Bailishu put on a longbow and shot an arrow into the spring emitting white light.

Just like the golden crow in ancient times rushed into the East China Sea, and the East China Sea disappeared into a thousand miles of red land, the moment the long arrow sank into the spring, the spring evaporated and disappeared.

But the long arrow didn't stop, it pierced through the entire altar with an irresistible momentum.

Then golden light erupted from the middle of the altar, the altar shattered and collapsed, the rubble rolled, and the sound was muffled like thunder.

As soon as the arrow was shot, Baili Shu spat out a mouthful of blood, his face was pale, but the longbow in his hand became hotter and brighter.

The altar collapsed, and Ye Qiusheng grabbed the pale-faced Bailishu and led him out of the temple.

That is, when the altar collapsed, a crack appeared on the sacred tree.

Asa took a deep breath, he snarled, and cut out his long knife.

The light of the knife was like a rainbow, and it fell towards the crack of the Shenmu.
