The altar of the bronze palace burned with candles.
Xu Fu sat on the futon and silently looked towards the end of the darkness. The intertwined golden tree roots had actually been burned away, leaving only ashes on the ground, floating in the cold wind.
"This thing is called the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree, but it is not the real body, but a tree root. Back then, Venerable Qilin created this independent space in his world as its... petri dish? Well, This is what you modern people say. I have read the memories of those outsiders and learned about the outside world."
He explained: "If you want to ask me what the essence of the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree is, then my answer is that I don't know. In the creation myths of the ancient gods, Zhuzhao and Youying were born at the place of creation, and no one knows Is this life, some kind of law, or something else? In short, people call it the original."
He wanted to continue talking, but he suddenly looked at the knife on his neck and couldn't help but said: "Little girl, can you remove the knife from my neck? I'm almost dead. .”
"Sorry, it's not that I can't trust your character, but I think you will go crazy again. After all, you have been captured by three ancient supremes. No one knows whether they will plant some time bomb in your body." Su Yuzhu held the Demon Slayer sword in both hands, his eyes were very focused, like a swordsman holding his breath and concentrating.
But her pretty face was still flushed with the blush from the intimacy just now, and she looked slightly embarrassed.
I don’t know if it’s because someone saw me posting it.
It was still interrupted because of the post.
Gu Jianlin also sat on an alchemy furnace with some embarrassment, and had to admit that the girl's vigilance was right.
"Well said, it really should be so."
Xu Fu sighed: "But why am I so unhappy?"
He is a ninth-level Taiyi God. Even in a dying state, his spirituality has been exhausted. But if he suddenly goes crazy, just two young disciples may not be able to control him.
"Little girl, please wait a moment."
He suddenly raised his hand, a pitch-black hole opened in his hand, and a bone-like sword appeared out of thin air.
The sword is about nine feet long, and its entire body is glowing with golden luster, as if it is wrapped with blazing sun flames.
The moment Gu Jianlin saw this sword, he felt his soul throbbing.
"I think I've seen this before."
Su Youzhu said suspiciously: "When I became a fraudster with the teacher, it seemed..."
Xu Fu said proudly: "The name of this sword is Congyun! In the mythology of the Yingzhou people, there is also another name called Tianzhi Congyun. It was conceived from the body of the Yamata no Orochi, which is also an ancient ancestor. , was originally from the Qilin clan, but later swallowed the divine blood of the Zhulong clan and transformed into that kind of monster."
"This is an attempt made by Lord Qilin. Including the pseudo-ancestors here, they are all created by Lord Qilin. I will bury them here together and will not go out to harm others. You can rest assured."
"Yamata no Orochi is also one of the experimental subjects. The creation myths of the Yingzhou people basically come from the Black Supreme, and Congyun was once his weapon. This sword can mobilize dark matter and dark energy, and can also Absorb life force and use it to give back to yourself, but few people can get its approval."
He smiled and said: "It has an arrogant temperament, doesn't like to talk much, and is difficult to get along with. Only the little girl can threaten me with this sword. Can you try to touch it?"
Su Youzhu's beautiful eyes were slightly bright. It was obvious that she was eager for this sword. After all, it was powerful and beautiful. She would be happy for a long time just buying a bag, let alone such a precious antique.
She stretched out her hand and grasped the hilt of the sword, which was as cold as jade. The sword trembled faintly, as if resisting.
At this moment, Gu Jianlin glanced at the sword.
In an instant, Congyun stopped trembling and stayed in the girl's hand.
Containment successful!
Su Youzhu fiddled with the sword in surprise, feeling the power it conveyed. He held the old man's neck again and said seriously: "Thank you, you are indeed Xu Fu, a person who has been captured by the Ancient Supreme Being three times. I will Treating this sword well will not disgrace its reputation. As long as you make the slightest move, I will chop off your head."
Xu Fu nodded happily, but then complained: "If you want to chop off my head, I have no objection. Can you not talk about the fact that I was captured by the Ancient Supreme three times? Young people should be polite. "
Ahem.
Gu Jianlin and Su Youzhu both coughed twice, mainly because the old man was so miserable.
The man is silent and the woman is crying.
It should be recorded in history.
"Both Zhuzhao and Youying are original, and Lord Qilin, as the fifth ancient supreme being born, was born from the third power. No one knows what the so-called third power is. In other words, Since there is a candle-illuminated sacred tree in this world, there should also be a treasure representing Youying." Xu Fu said calmly.
"Where is the true body of the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree?"
Su Youzhu asked thoughtfully.
"If nothing else happens, it will be on the top floor of Qilin Immortal Palace."
Gu Jianlin thought of the huge golden tree and thought that when the pharmacist led them into the depths of the mausoleum, he probably didn't see the scene outside, otherwise she would not have known about it.
"The young man knows a lot."
Xu Fu shook his head and said: "The Zhuzhao Sacred Tree was always controlled by Lord Qilin, and was later usurped by Zhulong and Suzaku. Of course, this is not something you should worry about. Just go back and tell your adults. . And Penglai Immortal Island itself has no mystery of immortality, it is just a scam."
He sighed: "The roots of the trees here are mainly to breed the secret technique of spiritual blending. This secret technique allows the ancient supremes who have adapted to the real world to master the law of candlelight. Of course, the roots of the trees actually breed more than that. .For example, in the process of the birth of the Secret Art of Spiritual Blending, the Secret Art of Coffins was also derived."
Having said this, he suddenly glanced at the young man.
Gu Jianlin instinctively became nervous, fearing that the old man would see something.
"What's wrong?"
Su Youzhu didn't know yet that he had mastered the breathing of heavenly beings.
"The so-called coffin secret method allows a person to embark on the path of heaven and humanity and the path of evolution at the same time. However, the conditions are very harsh. There are seven billion people on the earth today, and it would be great to have one. At the beginning, Gu Ci An and Tang Zijing broke in and took the coffin secret from my hands."
Xu Fu had mixed feelings when he thought about what happened that year: "These are two tenacious little guys, I admire them extremely. Gu Ci'an came in following the traces of Suzaku, while Tang Zijing came in to save someone."
Gu Jianlin vaguely knew who the person who was going to be rescued was.
Su Youzhu asked curiously: "When did Lord Suzaku come in?"
Xu Fu was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"I didn't know either. I was suppressing myself and falling into a deep sleep."
He said frankly: "When I woke up, I was already under His control."
Gu Jianlin and Su Youzhu looked at each other and nodded slightly.
"Senior, there is something fishy about this matter."
He asked in a deep voice: "A strange thing ran out of Qilin Immortal Palace. That person disguised himself as Gu Cian and was killing people in the underground palace under the sea. I want to know what that thing was."
Su Youzhu added: "Even the ninth-level Taiyi God will be injured."
Xu Fu was slightly startled: "You guys said that, I did sense it at that time. There was indeed something killing people on the first floor of the Qilin Immortal Palace. He seemed to be in an extremely crazy state. The ancestor of Kuilong, at that time, was Those who were injured by that thing had to think of holding a sacrifice as a last resort.”
"After the failure of that sacrifice, the ancestor of Kuilong had to take the risk to build a dragon nest in the depths of the Sea of Eternal Life. This was a last resort, because Lord Zhulong was bound to come here, and he would be in bad luck by then."
"And Lord Suzaku is his only hope."
So that's it.
Gu Jianlin suddenly realized that that ghost could even defeat the ancestor.
I always feel that the closer I get to the truth, the more confusing it becomes.
Su Youzhu suddenly asked: "So did you leave "Xu Fu Ji" behind?"
Xu Fu's expression changed slightly and he said hurriedly: "Don't touch that thing, it's a trap! Lord Qilin initially controlled me and left such a secret passage that could be transmitted directly to him. Without exception, Anyone who entered the depths of the tomb should have been devoured by Him.”
Su Youzhu was horrified, thinking that she was able to survive in front of that supreme being because of luck.
She knew that the ancient supreme was not worried at all that she would be trapped.
Stupid old pharmacist!
"What's wrong?"
Gu Jianlin knew what she was afraid of and asked this question deliberately.
"No, it's nothing."
Su Youzhu pretended to be calm, but in fact her heart was beating wildly.
Ah.
Gu Jianlin thought about this stupid female priest.
"The next thing I want to say is something else."
Xu Fu pointed to the pile of burning ashes: "The roots of the Zhuzhao Sacred Tree were destroyed because they were penetrated by a broken knife. The group of people who came in just now have been teleported out and died in the fantasy world, returning to Naturally, the outside world won’t be able to survive in the future. But the problem is, the origin of the broken knife is unusual, I can’t figure out what it is.”
Gu Jianlin said suspiciously: "Broken knife?"
The broken knife is no longer here.
"Mr. Si prepared a back-up plan, right? The military advisor must have let him in because of the so-called eldest lady."
Su Youzhu pondered for a moment: "Skylark, this is her code name, the most mysterious member of Dusk."
"In short, no matter who it is, this person's origin is not simple and needs to be treated with caution. As for your friends, they have all been teleported out. They are all fine and have their own adventures. Including the two divine attendants of the Qilin clan, and even They have both advanced." Xu Fu looked around with his eyes filled with nostalgia.
"The catastrophe is coming, and Lord Suzaku has a grand plan. I still don't know what he is going to do. Lord Zhulong is about to reach the peak of violence, and no one can stop him. Lord Qilin disappeared without a trace, which is strange and unpredictable. . Everything revolves around the Candlelight Divine Tree. This thing is very important. Humans must climb to the top to find out! You must take what happened here and tell the guardians of the human world."
He sighed: "Although the First Emperor is gone, there are people who will succeed him. Today's guardians of order are really talented, unparalleled in ancient and modern times. There is no other person. I believe that with the transformation of heaven and man, even the ancient supreme If they break the rules of the real world, they will not completely subvert human civilization."
"Although my emperor is no longer here, it is a blessing for the human world that the inheritance he left behind can be carried forward. This world will ultimately be protected by you young people. What we old guys have to do is to persist as much as possible. A little longer, and then bend your spine for you to step on."
"I am lucky to meet such outstanding young people as you."
Rumble.
The world burst out with a roar of collapse.
Time and space shattered like a mirror, reflecting countless illusory scenes.
This is the chaos that occurs when the authority left by Lord Suzaku is about to collapse.
Su Youzhu was suddenly stunned.
Because in the broken space-time mirror, a young girl was actually reflected. She had short black hair that reached her ears, wore a heavy down jacket, and carried a tachi on her back, jumping in the snow.
Suddenly, the head of a living corpse emerged from the snow, grinning at her.
The little girl was frightened and cried immediately, sitting in the snow and howling.
The man snapped his fingers and suddenly exploded the living corpse's head, then pinched his waist and laughed.
The harder the girl cries, the happier the man laughs.
Finally, the man let the girl sit on his shoulders and strode into the depths of the wind and snow.
Gu Jianlin watched this scene silently and smiled silently.
Su Youzhu covered her red lips, those dust-laden memories roared in like wind and snow, moistening her eyes.
"This is my last gift to you. Gu Ci'an should be a very important person to you, right? This person had already tried his best to lift his curse. Although he is no longer here, you This is the inheritance he left behind. If you are alive and you still remember him, he has not completely disappeared."
Xu Fu turned around, looked at the boy and girl in front of him, and said with a smile: "I am almost at the end of my life. Thank you for coming here. Thank you for rescuing me."
Gu Jianlin was silent for a moment and said softly: "Thank you, senior. When I go back, I will sort out your deeds and let the whole world know that you were never a traitor to the human world, you are a hero."
Su Youzhu took his hand and bowed deeply with him.
"hero……"
Xu Fu laughed dumbly, but his cloudy eyes became moist, and he said softly: "I'm sorry for doing those bad things to you. Well... can you help me go to Lishan Mountain and offer a stick of incense to the First Emperor?"
He raised his old face, and there was a hint of pleading in his tone.
Gu Jianlin and Su Youzhu nodded vigorously: "Of course."
Xu Fu smiled happily, and his eyes became gentler when he looked at them.
There was a loud bang and the world collapsed.
Su Youzhu also turned into a vague shadow and gradually dissipated.
At the last moment, Gu Jianlin felt something in his hand. It was something like a luminous pearl, with a hidden light flowing throughout its body. It didn't look like an ordinary thing.
Xu Fu looked at him deeply, but did not explain what it was.
The old man looked up to the sky and laughed three times. His voice was so old, yet so cheerful.
He finally broke through the prison of more than two thousand years and died with freedom and dignity.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to see you."
As the world collapsed, he shattered into crystal debris that filled the sky.
Be loyal to the emperor.
Keep justice for the human world.
Xu Fu did everything he could before his death.
Fulfill your long-cherished wish.
