A year later, Su Youzhu returned to that stormy highway again. The cold rain fell on her face, and in front of her eyes were the firelights rising into the sky, and the willow trees were swaying in the wind.
Yes, that desperate highway is not her nightmare.
The forgotten memories came back like a flood, and the fragmented pictures were reorganized again. She clearly remembered that she had walked through the burning sea of fire, picked up the dying boy from the collapsed car, and poured it into his mouth desperately. Drinking the life potion, calling his name.
But even so, she still couldn't save his life, and she only felt helpless and desperate like never before. She could still remember the blood-stained face and her eyes that she struggled to open.
She could only hold him tightly in her arms, trying to warm him with the softness of her chest.
"Be good, close your eyes, we won't look, don't look, okay?"
Su Youzhu turned her back to the burning sea of fire, hugging the boy tightly as if she was afraid that someone would take him away, and gently covered his eyes: "He doesn't love you anymore, but you still have me..."
But when she said this, tears filled her eyes.
Because the scarlet flames soared into the sky.
On that burning highway, the bruised ghost car sat on its knees on the asphalt road, raising its hands to the sky as if to use itself as a sacrifice, shouting for the coming of the gods.
No, not Advent.
But wake up.
The man named Gu Ci'an raised his head in the pool of blood and gave birth to burning wings.
Covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
For Su Youzhu, this is a memory that she never wants to recall.
It is said that the human body has a potential protective mechanism. When your pain exceeds the limit of what you can bear, your brain will automatically forget those memories.
The reason why the girl didn't remember these things was not only because of Qiongqi's authority, but also because she didn't want to remember it. She once thought that she was the only witness. As long as she didn't remember the scene, she could pretend it never happened and hide it for the rest of her life.
This is the only selfish thing she has.
No one in this world can face such a cruel reality.
Neither can Gu Jianlin.
That was her boy, and she just wanted to protect him well.
This world is cruel enough, so why bother extinguishing the last light in his heart.
It was on that rainy night that Su Youzhu understood a truth.
It turns out that death does not mean loss.
Sometimes, living is the real farewell.
Boom!
The laboratory shook. The girl on the simple throne suddenly opened her eyes. Dark red lines spread on her delicate skin, like a totem of an ancient dragon.
The vertical pupils of that ancient dragon were filled with gilded light.
In an instant, the dimension was violently turbulent, and the girl suddenly disappeared without a trace.
"Did it succeed?"
Su Youxia looked at this scene and said softly: "She almost died."
Jiang Ziye shook his head: "It is not easy to integrate the third method. Fortunately, she survived. What supported her...should be her love for him, right?"
The saints stood guard at the door of the laboratory and breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, the third method of fusion is a very dangerous thing. Even if they have complete equipment, it is difficult for inexperienced rookies to force the fusion in such a short period of time.
There was someone else who really helped a lot.
"Thank you, Si Hao."
Ying Changchang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You hide it so deeply."
Deacon Nie scratched his head and let out a laugh: "The president asked me to lurk in the Tribunal just so that one day I would need their research results. But now is not the time to relax. I just opened a suicide note left by the president. , which records the secrets of Venerable Suzaku..."
·
·
In the desolate and silent world, the sacred candle-light tree that penetrates the sky and the earth is burning silently.
The man under the golden tree stood in front of the throne with his eyes in memory.
This is Gu Ci'an, the legendary Suzaku Master. His appearance is not even different from that of before, but he has become more noble and majestic, with no emotion in his eyes.
Facing this lofty god, Gu Jianlin raised his hand to touch his heart, feeling that his chest seemed empty. He fell from the sky to the ground in a daze, feeling a little dazed.
It was rare that he could still maintain his sanity, and he figured out the whole story in just a moment. All the fog that shrouded that stormy night dissipated, and the truth emerged.
The so-called curse of the Gu family may not have existed from the beginning, because that was the plan laid by the Suzaku family to complete the third method. The tribesmen who once disappeared were not killed, but awakened. From the human state, he transformed into a god again.
Just like what happened on the Suzaku home planet.
Including Venerable Suzaku is no exception.
Rather, the previous curses were just His experiments.
His own fusion did not begin until thousands of years later.
In the 1970s, during the war at Fuso Shrine, He was not exiled into the dimensional turbulence. Instead, He began to complete the integration of the third method and returned to His enlightenment state hundreds of millions of years ago, in human form. Come to the real world and experience one's joys and sorrows again.
He grew up like an ordinary person, learned everything about human society, struggled for many years, became a consultant in criminal cases, married a wife, had children, and started a family.
This is how Gu Jianlin, a paradox that should not exist, was born.
Because he is the product of the combination of ancient gods and humans.
Looking at the entire universe, there may be only one example.
The Reverend Suzaku took the pseudonym Gu Ci'an and became the first life to be close to perfection.
Until the ancestor of the ghost car and the ancient god of the Suzaku clan came to him.
The gods have awakened.
"your child?"
Gu Jianlin felt the sunlight falling on his face, but there was no warmth at all.
"This is a fact."
Lord Suzaku said calmly: "I didn't expect you to be born."
Perhaps the moment Gu Ci'an awakened and became a god, even he was surprised by the miracle of life. The appearance of this child was undoubtedly the biggest omission in his plan.
"But you want to kill me."
Gu Jianlin said word by word: "Why?"
This question is actually not important at all, but it must be asked.
If Lord Suzaku had not thought of killing him but taking him away, everything would be different now. He would not choose to take this path at all, but would become a member of the Suzaku clan. Even if he knew everything now and would never accept this kind of life, the possibility existed.
"Since it was a mistake I created, I will end it myself. Your birth was a mistake. You are indeed my bloodline and have the supreme genetic structure, but you have no support from the power of the planet. Except for Qilin, No one can save you."
Lord Suzaku stared at his face: "Even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will still become my enemy. No one in this world knows you better than me. You will hate me no matter what, because your mother gave birth to this monster like you. Fetus, there isn’t much time left.”
With a bang, Gu Jianlin's mind went blank.
So...that's it!
This is the truth about mother’s curse!
Yoo-joo was cursed because she saw things she shouldn't have seen.
And the mother was cursed because she gave birth to him.
Once the mother dies, the cause of her death will definitely be found out.
Then what the Suzaku clan has done will be exposed!
"I know what you want to ask. Do you want to know why I am so cruel?"
Venerable Suzaku put his hands behind his back and replied indifferently: "Because you are not important to me."
Life has a measure, but God has almost none.
For His almost infinite life, Gu Ci'an's mere decades of life may be like a few seconds spent by human beings, and his so-called wife and son are just His passers-by, just like when you leave Passers-by who met by chance on the road looked at each other and parted in a hurry.
Are passers-by important?
unimportant.
Will you give up your plan that has been planned for hundreds of millions of years for the sake of passers-by?
of course not.
Gu Jianlin understood and accepted it all rationally.
But he hoped he wouldn't be so rational.
Whether it's hysteria or roaring, it's much better than what it is now.
At this moment, many images flashed through his mind.
The man who let him ride around on his shoulders when he was a child, the man who laughed at him while holding ice cream in his car in front of the school, the man who drove him passionately in bumper cars at the amusement park, and the man who carried takeaway food when it rained heavily. The man who ran around with him holding an umbrella.
The man's face became increasingly blurry.
In the end, it turned into that noble and indifferent look.
It hurts.
Gu Jianlin's life began when he lost his father.
When he came to this ending after going through thorns and thorns all the way, he lost his father again.
Losing the same person twice in a row.
What does that feel like?
Gu Jianlin didn't know what he was feeling.
At some point, the barren land had been soaked in golden blood, and his expressionless face was reflected in the blood, showing emptiness and despair that he had never seen before.
It turned out that those were the tears of blood he shed.
Faint ash fell on his face, a familiar warmth.
As if to soothe his broken heart.
"teacher……"
Gu Jianlin raised his head in confusion and asked softly: "I don't have a father anymore."
The old man, who dispersed like ashes, turned around and looked at the poor child. Even though darkness fell, he could still see the sad figure.
"The teacher knows."
Huaiyin replied: "The teacher couldn't stop this."
The blood and tears in Gu Jianlin's eyes became more and more intense. He didn't know whether he was crying or laughing at this moment: "If you hadn't stopped Him, I would have died long ago, right?"
It is self-evident who He is referred to here.
A smile appeared on Huaiyin's gray face: "You are the student I chose, so of course you cannot die. Regardless of whether it is a human or a god, I will kill whoever wants to kill you."
Gu Jianlin's voice trembled slightly: "Why?"
Huaiyin's eyes fell on his face: "Because of guilt."
Gu Jianlin didn't understand what he meant.
"Once upon a time, I just wanted to use you as a tool, because I saw your potential, but I don't know how a life like you was born. But I think that when the end comes, you can inherit my will .Yes, I have thought about using you."
Huaiyin sighed: "But when I got closer to the truth, I realized what happened to you. It is true that I am not a good person, but my pride does not allow me to continue to use you. It is my choice, with my own hands Pushing you on this path, making you face such a cruel reality that life is worse than death. This shouldn't be the case, not to mention... you are a good boy."
So, he stood here.
He didn't want this child to lose his father for the second time.
So he put his life on the line.
It's a pity that I still lack a little bit of luck and time.
Gu Jianlin thought that was the case.
"When I asked you if you wanted to be my student, when you pushed my wheelchair to face the entire world of order, and when you handed the eternal bone into my hands, I was happy to have you as a student. You It is the inheritance of my will, and you are my proudest work."
Huaiyin stared into his eyes: "No matter whether you hate me or not, the teacher will protect you. What's the saying? Once a teacher, always a father. I don't have children and I don't know what it means to be a father. Feeling, but I want to...make up for your life as much as possible."
He paused: "Sorry, I didn't do it after all."
The king's body dispersed in the wind, and in the end only a blurry face remained.
Time is up.
Gu Jianlin suppressed the sadness in his heart and said softly: "Teacher."
Huaiyin's eyes were gentle: "I'm here."
"It's a great honor to be your student."
Gu Jianlin clenched his hands and said seriously: "I don't regret it, I thank you."
Thank you teacher for your protection and guidance during this time.
Thank you for choosing this path for me.
In fact, Huaiyin is not a qualified teacher.
His first student lost his love forever, and his second student fell into despair.
When Gu Jianlin appeared, the proud king became cautious.
He didn't dare to get close to this student, so all he could do was guard him secretly.
Even when teaching real skills, he asked another of his students to take his place.
For this reason, Huaiyin found his master's wife to teach the student on his behalf.
He reached a cooperation with his junior brother.
Step by step, he guided Lei Lei and Yue Ji to come to him. They were the best girls in the world.
Although Huaiyin sacrificed himself and was unable to prevent that ending, this child has already had so much along the way. When he is the saddest, there will be someone to protect him.
"That's enough."
Huaiyin said softly: "Teacher will not be able to guard you in the future."
Gu Jianlin saw blood oozing from his palms, biting his lip and humming.
"Remember, you are my student, a member of our lineage."
Huaiyin's voice is far away in the horizon, but close to her ears: "Now that you have grown up, don't be bullied anymore, whether it is clenching a stone or... clenching a fist."
Gu Jianlin hummed again.
Huaiyin looked up at the sky, and the burning ashes fell into the barren land. He recalled the joys and sorrows of the past two hundred years, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and the laughter echoed in the silence.
However, when Gu Jianlin raised his head again, the teacher had turned into ashes all over the sky, like a falling snow, his soul disappeared into the night, and no one woke him up.
The King of Blue has left this world.
Even with the power of life and death, Gu Jianlin could no longer sense the teacher's presence.
Suddenly, he seemed to come to his senses.
It turns out that the teacher has always played the role of a father.
Although a little clumsy, the old man has been working hard.
To make up for his broken life.
The teacher taught him how to clench his fists, gave him authority and strength, gave him family affection and love, taught him the principles of protection, and allowed him to face this cruel world bravely.
Is this really not a qualified teacher?
Well, not really.
Because this is the father.
A true father.
The pain Gu Jianlin felt now no longer seemed to be due to Suzaku.
But because of the loss of the teacher.
Today he completely lost his father, but gained a new father.
Although we parted in a hurry, it was enough to be remembered in our hearts.
"Brother, let's go."
Jiang Yanli looked at the ashes falling all over the sky and murmured softly.
Warm ashes fell on Gu Jianlin's face. He silently bent down and collapsed inch by inch. His hands were deeply embedded in the ground, and the scorching sunlight illuminated his back.
It's like being crushed by the unbearable weight of life.
Tang Ling felt more confused than ever before.
She is the kind of girl who is born cold and proud. She has protected herself well with a hard and cold shell for many years, but she doesn't know how to protect others. This is the first time in her life that she wants to love someone with her life. , but there is a kind of confusion at a loss.
Whether it's a hug or a kiss or whatever.
She would pay any price to make him feel less sad.
But there was nothing she could do.
Looking at his sad back, her heart broke.
Along with the vibration of the dimension, someone walked out of the void with hurried steps.
Su Youzhu finally broke through the boundaries of dimensions and entered this desolate world as the third method. A second ago, she was still taking a chance, hoping that it would not be too late.
But when the sun fell on her face, when she saw the tall god and the sad figure holding on to prevent herself from falling, she heard the sound of the world collapsing.
After all, it was too late.
"Let's go home... okay?"
Su Youzhu knelt down beside the boy, raised her hand and stroked his hair, wanting to hold him in her arms as she did a year ago.
Tang Ling came to the other side silently without saying a word. In fact, neither of them knew what else they could do. They could only accompany them silently like they did last time in the Shenxu.
I don't know how long it took, Lord Suzaku looked at this scene and took a step.
"Can not go back."
Gu Jianlin lowered his head and said softly.
this moment.
What appeared in his mind were the faces of his teacher and his grandmother, his mother's painful sleeping face when she was cursed, the scars on Thunder's forehead, and the flames on Yue Ji's chest.
The last thing was the man who hugged him tightly when the truck hit him head-on.
There was a click.
The frozen scene shattered like a mirror.
In the dark, the shadows of Lian and Wang appeared in his mind, igniting the flame.
The overwhelming hatred and anger burned, and the desolate land that his hands were deeply embedded in shattered, and the crisscrossing and tragic cracks actually penetrated the entire ancestral planet at this moment!
Boom, Lord Suzaku's index finger fell down, as if it was going to penetrate his head.
It was at this moment that Gu Jianlin raised his head and grabbed his wrist.
The young man's eyes lit up with endless fierce light, and the shadow behind him trembled!
And then...split!
Amid the roar of the dragon that filled the sky and the earth, there was actually the chirping of the Suzaku!
In the desolate world, a dark unicorn rises into the sky!
Sometimes it is the Zhulong flying into the sky, sometimes it is the Suzaku reborn in Nirvana!
