Seeing the burning fire and rain outside the temple, everyone turned around and looked at Fang Jian, with deep curiosity in their eyes. They were curious how did Fang Jian know that there was a natural disaster?
But Fang Jian looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I have an opportunity here, but I only give it to those who are loyal to me."
Hearing this, Su Kuang and the other eleven ministers immediately raised their hands and said, "Captain, do you think we are not loyal enough?"
Fang Jian only asked, "I'm just asking you, if I turn against the Great Court, which side will you stand on?"
Su Kuang was stunned for a moment, and then he asked: "Captain, do you want to resist the Great Court?"
Fang Jian asked with a smile: "If I resist the Great Court, whose side will you stand on?"
Su Kuang looked around, and then said to Fang Jian: "Captain, I will stand on your side, but I will also advise you not to resist the Great Court."
"Why?" Fang Jian asked.
Su Kuang said: "Because your strength alone, Captain, is not enough to fight against the entire Great Court. Even though Lieutenant, you can kill four great masters of the One Clear Realm, the Great Court is not only composed of great masters of the One Clear Realm."
"So from a practical point of view, I will definitely stand by you, Captain, but I will urge you, Captain, not to confront the Great Court or not to confront the Great Court for the time being." Su Kuang bowed and bowed.
"Do you all think so?" Fang Jian asked the ministers.
The rest of the ministers also stood up and paid homage: "Captain, we are loyal to heaven and earth. But Daoting is invincible. At least for many years in the future, no one can resist Daoting. Even if Daoting loses consecutive battles, The Heavenly Kingdom can only shrink to a corner despite its winning streak."
Fang Jian nodded and asked the sergeants, "What about you?"
The sergeants were expressionless from beginning to end. After hearing Fang Jian's question, one sergeant said directly: "We have sworn allegiance to the captain a long time ago. There is nothing to say. If the captain orders us to kill the five regents, We won’t even frown.”
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded, and then said: "I trust you very much, but I want to remind you all, if you are really loyal to me and accept this opportunity, I will If you are ordered to kill the five regents, you can only obey the order, without the right to refuse or the possibility of going back on your word."
The eleven ministers looked at each other, then bowed and said: "Be loyal to the captain, and swear to die without regrets!"
Then the thousand sergeants immediately stood up and looked at Fang Jian resolutely.
Fang Jian smiled faintly, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the Burning Heart Fire outside, which seemed to have turned red to the sky, and said, "If you are really loyal to me, then go out now and stand in the Burning Heart Fire Rain."
"Young Master!" Yu Chunshuang was shocked and quickly said to Fang Jian: "Young Master, you can't."
But Fang Jian looked at Yu Chun and said, "If you are loyal to me, you will go. If not, there is no need to go."
After hearing this, Yu Chunshuang was stunned for a moment, and then she said: "Young Master, I serve you by the order of the king..."
"What, scared? Still not loyal enough?" Fang Jian asked with a smile.
When Yu Chunshuang heard this, she bit her lower lip tightly. She said with confusion, confusion and grief in her eyes: "Young Master, you cannot question my loyalty to the king and you."
After saying that, Yu Chengshuang flew directly to the front of the palace, looked at the fire and rain outside, then turned around and worshiped Fang Jian: "Young Master, I want to ask you one thing. After my Taoist practice is gone, please Don’t leave me here, send me back to Xuanjian Dao Kingdom.”
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Okay."
Yu Chunshuang nodded, then turned around and flew into the rain of Burning Heart Fire without hesitation. In an instant, the Burning Heart Fire burned on Yu Chunshuang's body, and Yu Chunshuang's body was ignited with raging flames.
However, there were no traces of being burned on her body. There were only waves of heartbreaking pain in her Taoist heart. Yu Chen clenched her silver teeth tightly, and a trace of blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.
Just five breaths later, Yu Chunshuang heard a snap sound in the extreme heartbreaking pain, and her Taoist heart was burned to ashes. The next moment
Her moral conduct and cultivation were instantly dissipated.
Immediately afterwards, Yu Chenshuang fell to his knees weakly. His whole body aged rapidly, his hair turned white, his skin was as dry as bark, and her eye sockets were sunken. The originally beautiful girl suddenly turned into a dying old woman with drooping skin and flesh.
At this moment, Yu Chunshuang raised his head with difficulty, looking at his hands that had become like chicken feet with cloudy eyes.
"Is it over... To describe it this way, I will die of old age in less than a month at most." Yu Chunshuang touched his cheeks. The originally tender and smooth cheeks were now extremely old, and the skin on his face was loose. It hangs down and is extremely ugly.
Her teeth were falling off all over the place, and her skin was like the old skin and bark of a chicken's feet. It was even a bit scary at first glance.
In the temple, Fang Jian looked at Su Kuang and other ministers and a thousand sergeants and said, "It's your turn to prove your loyalty."
"Colonel Lieutenant, please let us kill the five regents. I would rather die in battle. I am not willing to die like this."
"Me too, Captain, let's go assassinate the five regents!"
"I am not willing to let my power dissipate like this, and I am not willing to die like this."
Seeing Yu Chunshuang's transformation, from a Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian to a haggard old mortal in an instant, everyone's hearts trembled with great fear.
Fang Jian smiled and said: "This is the only way to prove loyalty. If you don't want to, then don't go out. I won't force you and I will let you go later."
But after a moment of fear and hesitation, the thousand soldiers walked out of the palace directly, and like Yu Chengshuang, entered the sky full of heart-burning fire rain.
In the end, only Su Kuang and other eleven ministers were left.
The eleven people looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally looked at Fang Jian. Fang Jian was smiling and saying nothing.
They turned back to look at Yu Chunshuang outside and the thousand sergeants who had also become haggard and old and fell on the ground. Finally, Su Kuang said loudly: "Since this can prove our loyalty, then we will obey your order. "
After saying that, Su Kuang said to Fang Jian: "Captain, please take care of me. I, Su Kuang, am loyal."
Then Su Kuang flew directly out of the palace and fell into the heart-burning fire rain. In an extremely short time, his Taoist heart was burned, his Taoist behavior dissipated, and he turned into a dying mortal.
Seeing Su Kuang taking the lead, the remaining ten ministers also bowed their hands to Fang Jian, then gritted their teeth and flew out.
Soon, these people's Taoist hearts were burned in the heart-burning fire rain, and their Taoist practices were completely lost. They all turned into old mortals, sitting or falling to the ground. A feeling of powerlessness that they had never experienced before hit their hearts.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be a mortal... This is what everyone is thinking at the moment.
As mentioned before, the creatures in the Xiantian Wuji Realm have the power of Daluo Jinxian level when they are born, so there are no mortals in the Xiantian Wuji Realm.
Therefore, neither Yu Chengshuang nor Su Kuang and other ministers, nor the thousand soldiers, have ever tasted what it is like to be a mortal, but now, they know it.
"What are your thoughts?"
Just when Yu Chun was sad, a voice suddenly sounded above her head. She slowly raised her head, only to see that Fang Jianli was unscathed in the rain of burning fire in the sky, and he squatted down and asked her with a smile.
"Young Master..." Yu Chunshuang was stunned for a moment. Looking at Fang Jian's young face, she suddenly smiled, "I finally know the meaning of time. I heard that the life span of a mortal in the lower world is only two hundred years at most, but his A life can be more exciting than an immortal who has lived for ten thousand years. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I believe it. Now that I have lost all my Taoism and cultivation, I only have three months to live at most, but I have a lot. The idea of completing the matter within these three months has never been thought of before.”
"Birth, old age, illness and death are so thrilling." Yu Chunshuang said.
Fang Jian asked again: "So now, what do you think of the word loyalty?"
Yu Chunshuang realized a lot in an instant. Some truths that she had never thought about before were instantly understood at this moment. She shook her head and said: "Sir, I suddenly realized a truth: actions have an end, and the road has no end. Life has a limit. , there is no end to death. Loyalty is not as good as faith."
"What do you believe in?" Fang Jian asked again.
Yu Chun said: "Everything that conforms to the laws of all living beings in the world."
Fang Jian said: "What you are talking about is the way of heaven."
Yu Chun's eyes suddenly lit up, and then a fire suddenly ignited on her body. This fire was not a heart-burning fire, nor was it any kind of hurtful fire, nor would it bring any pain. It was the fire of Nirvana.
The fire of Nirvana appeared in nine colors, and Yu Chunshuang's old and withered body was instantly turned into ashes. However, Yu Chunshuang's spirit did not dissipate in the Burning Heart Fire, but flew out of the Nirvana Fire. Then Yu Chunshuang The two souls sat firmly in the Nirvana fire. The power of heaven and earth enveloped Yuchen's twin souls, and then began to reshape the physical body.
At the same time, the conversation between Fang Jian and Yu Chengshuang also enlightened Su Kuang and others and the thousand soldiers. The next moment, more than a thousand Nirvana fires rose from the ground, descending to the world of Qinghe. Suddenly he was filled with nine-colored divine light, and even the heart-burning fire rain in the sky was reflected in nine-colored colors.
"Once enlightened, the cocoon becomes a butterfly, Nirvana is reborn, and all tribulations are evaded forever."
Fang Jian looked at the reborn Yu Chunshuang and others around him, and said with a smile: "This is the opportunity I give you."
After an unknown amount of time, the nine-colored jade cocoon divine light transformed into more than a thousand Nirvana fires dissipated and began to break. After three breaths, Yu Chunshuang was the first to break out of the cocoon.
She was dressed in Jiuxia fairy clothes, otherworldly, graceful and unrivaled in beauty. She stared at Fang Jian with her gleaming eyes, and then stepped forward to pay homage: "Great Spiritual Officer Yu Chunshuang, pay your respects to the young master, and thank him for his enlightenment on transcendence." kindness."
Later, Su Kuang and other eleven ministers also came out of their cocoons, came to Fang Jian, and one after another called themselves "Great Spiritual Officer" and bowed down, and thanked Fang Jian for his enlightenment.
And the thousand sergeants also stepped forward to thank them after emerging from their cocoons, and they called themselves "Spiritual Officers".
Fang Jian said with a smile: "With a calamity-free Taoist body and a thousand spiritual officials, it is enough to be of great use."
