Chu Liang followed Bai Ze to Guarding Peak. Along the way, the mythical beast Bai Ze looked at the scene around him and seemed a little emotional.
As soon as the two of them landed, a white light came over them, with a cheerful cry of "嚄嚰啰啰". Although it had been a long time since he had seen his mother, the Bai Ze cub noticed the familiar scent for the first time.
A gentle smile appeared on Bai Ze's face, he stroked Bai Ze's cub's head, whispered something to it, and then patted its back and let it go to play on its own.
Bai Ze's cub turned his head, looked at Chu Liang and said hello, then happily jumped around and left. Over there, its two good friends are waiting. Liu Xiaoyu is standing with the Golden Retriever holding a Frisbee in his hand.
Seeing Bai Ze's cub approaching, Liu Xiaoyu flicked his hand, and the flying disc flew in another direction. Bai Ze's cub immediately fought with the Golden Retriever and rushed over, with a burst of whining and screaming. .
They look like two big energetic dogs.
Chu Liang's expression changed, and he coughed twice and said: "Ahem, Xiaoyu, take them two somewhere else to play."
Liu Xiaoyu was startled and replied: "But it's almost dinner time now. Doesn't the Golden Retriever come to eat Xiao Baize's meal every day?"
"Um..." Chu Liang blinked and said, "Are you done with your work today? Just play here... If not, go back and do your work first."
"Red Cotton Peak is in a mess right now. They said they wanted me to come back first." Liu Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Not just me, Xiao Baize and Jin Maoyan also don't have to do the task of pulling the float anymore."
"Haha." Chu Liang glanced at Bai Ze next to him and laughed twice, "The Golden Retriever is pretty much the same. Since when did our Hongmian Peak let little Baize pull the float..."
"Every day." Liu Xiaoyu replied seriously: "Isn't this how we arranged it before you left? We are never lazy!"
"Oh, you go and play quickly!" Chu Liang waved his hand quickly.
This child really can't tell the difference between his eyebrows and his eyebrows.
Turning his head to look at the mythical beast Bai Ze, he still had a smile on his face. The smile was full of divine brilliance, as if he were the kind Bodhisattva in the temple.
"Senior Bai Ze..." Chu Liang was a little embarrassed, "Listen to my explanation, this is not..."
"I know." Bai Ze nodded slightly, "I can see that my child loves you very much, and I also know the story between you. It is lonely in Shushan, and it is very happy for it to know you. "
Chu Liang looked at Bai Ze and thought of the scene just now. He thought, could this divine beast be able to read other people's memories and thoughts at will? That's a bit scary.
"I can't." Bai Ze said.
That's good……
Chu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he frowned and realized that things were not simple. When he looked up at Bai Ze, he made a confused sound: "Huh?"
"Understanding the changes of yin and yang and knowing the cause and effect of the world are the miraculous talents of our Bai Ze clan." Bai Ze smiled and said: "It is essentially different from directly searching for people's souls."
After her explanation, Chu Liang understood the difference.
Knowing the cause and effect is probably because she saw the demon cultivator raiding Shushan. She can see the cause and effect from the people who know about it and know the ins and outs of this moment.
When she saw Chu Liang hesitate, she could know the reason why he hesitated. But if there is no "effect", she can't find the cause.
It is indeed different from reading memories like searching for souls.
After Chu Liang understood, he smiled and complimented: "Senior has great magical powers, which is really admirable."
In this way, he hid his fear even deeper, for fear of being noticed by Bai Ze. Because the reason why he is vaguely afraid of this mountain-suppressing beast is mainly because of what Caiyi told him before.
Could it be that Bai Ze in front of him really released the demon god?
But Chu Liang did not dare to ask questions, which would easily reveal that he was carrying the Sky-Eating Insect. If Bai Ze really wants to bring the demon god back, he might do it again.
With such complicated emotions, Chu Liang still tried to keep his face calm.
"I already know that you once killed Tao Zhu with one sword in order to protect the guarding peak, which is considered a great service." Bai Ze said softly, "I should thank you for this, but it's a pity that you did it while I was sleeping. , and did not wait for the opportunity of the avenue."
The deep sleep she refers to is naturally the "critical" state.
Since the news about Bai Ze sleeping at the Guarding Peak last time, Chu Liang also gained some understanding of the status of this critical person.
When the only ninth realm saint in the world falls, the opportunity for the great avenue of heaven and earth will open, and the position of Tongxuan will be vacant. At this time, all the strong men at the peak of the eighth realm have a chance. It depends on who successfully merges with the avenue first and stands on the top of the world.
The best way at this time is to achieve enlightenment through deep sleep.
Before the opportunity opened, I kept trying to integrate the avenue. I don't know that one day an opportunity will suddenly open up and the opportunity to Tongxuan will come. The first person to enter is the new Tongxuan strongman.
The "critical ones" are equivalent to a group of people waiting outside the door to grab tickets.
They were all trying to open the door constantly to see who could be the lucky one to go in first. If you are slow or careless, you may miss opportunities even if you are stronger than the opponent.
In terms of enlightenment, humans have an advantage over monsters and it is easier to enter the state. Therefore, only those who are borderline monsters often choose to sleep for a long time. The peak of the eighth realm of the human race usually does not choose this method.
At the same time, some people may feel that in such competition, destroying others is equivalent to achieving oneself.
Just like the last time Lu Chengqiu came to Shushan to wake up Bai Ze, after the analysis by Shushan's senior management, it was possible that there was a plan from some other critical person.
"It's a pity that Momen Xiaoxiao disturbed my senior's sleep." Chu Liang said.
"No." Bai Ze shook his head, "The reason why I woke up was not because of the attack of the Demon Gate. In fact, if there is really a chance to become a saint, the gate of Shushan is not so important in comparison, and I would not be able to do so. And give up.”
When Chu Liang heard what she said, he felt it was reasonable.
Not to mention Bai Ze himself, even if any disciple of Shushan were to choose, if they exchanged the mountain gate for the opportunity to reach the ninth realm, they would definitely choose the latter.
"I woke up because there is no opportunity for the ninth realm in the world for the time being." Bai Ze was silent for a moment and then said: "I just learned that the demon god is not dead."
She looked a little disappointed.
Chu Liang, on the other hand, tried to remain calm and felt a little nervous.
Could this mountain-suppressing divine beast have really seen through the matter between the demon god and the sky-devouring insect if he keeps him?
"I don't have much life left, and I may not have the chance to wait until that day." Bai Ze said again. When it comes to the end of his life, even a strong man who stands at the top of the world will still feel a little lonely.
"Senior..." Listening to her deep sigh, Chu Liang wanted to comfort her but was unable to speak.
"The day of my death will be at least two hundred years or at least three hundred years away." Bai Ze continued: "It's time to make arrangements for the funeral."
"..." This time Chu Liang was silent for a moment.
Okay.
You have not long to live, and I am still in my youth. But if you work hard, you can still send me away. How can I be so comforting?
It's up to us who will arrange the funeral arrangements for the other.
Of course, he actually understands that for a mythical beast that has survived for thousands of years, two to three hundred years is really just a blink of an eye. She felt that her life was short, which was understandable.
"After a while, I may go to the Shen Ruins to look for the last chance." Bai Ze looked into the distance. "Even if that hope is slim, if it fails, I will probably die inside. Before that, I hope to Leave the inheritance of Yin Yang Avenue in Shushan."
turn out to be……
Is this what she wants to talk to herself about?
Chu Liang probably guessed what she was thinking.
Maybe in dozens or hundreds of years, she will venture into the ruins of the gods. But before that, she will keep Yin Yang Avenue in Shushan and ensure that it will not leak out. At that time, Bai Ze's cub should not be able to reach the peak of the seventh realm, so Shushan disciples will be needed to take over this path.
"The Yin-Yang Avenue is one of the avenues closest to the origin of Heavenly Dao. It is not easy to understand. You must have extraordinary talent." Bai Ze said: "If possible, I hope you can try to understand this way. In the future, when my children are still alive, Before you grow up, the Yin-Yang Avenue of Shushan will not be empty. When your life is about to end in the future, you can also pass the avenue back to it."
"Disciples must try their best to understand and dare not let down the trust of their seniors." Chu Liang nodded hurriedly.
Although he broke through the realm with the Great Way of Zhanxu, Zhanxu has always been the exclusive domain of the Endless Sword Sect. It was so difficult to fight for the way. Naturally, he had to look for other roads. Now that the way was offered to him, how could he have any reason to refuse?
What's more, it's still Yin Yang Avenue. He also saw Bai Ze's performance just now. He had the courage to fight against the divine weapon. Although the leader of the Pluto Sect must be wary of the return of other strong men from Shushan, his performance of being frightened away by Bai Ze's magical power is also real.
Although it is certainly difficult to fully understand Yin and Yang, the only drawback of the difficult-to-understand Dao is that it is difficult. Some simple avenues may have shortcomings besides being simple.
"Okay." Bai Ze nodded and stretched out his finger.
call out.
A flash of inspiration flashed, and a seed of great avenue suddenly appeared in Chu Liang's mind.
Yin Yang seeds.
This is one of the Taoist powers. It can plant a seed in people's hearts, but it is only a seed that leads to entry. As for subsequent enlightenment, you still have to work hard on your own.
After chatting with Bai Ze, Chu Liang returned to Hongmian Peak to check the situation. The cold wind blew on the road and he felt a chill down his spine. I had kept it quiet before, but the tension in my heart was indeed very deep.
He still couldn't fully trust the divine beast Bai Ze in front of him, so he didn't dare to tell her many things. It would be better to wait until Master Wen Yuan comes back and let him decide everything.
Before Chu Liang arrived at Shu Mountain, he was worried that the people from Penglai would know his whereabouts, so he intercepted him outside Shu Mountain in advance. Therefore, he has never dared to publicly announce the news of his return in the circle of fairy friends. Naturally, Wen Yuan and others did not know about it.
However, the news about the Demon Sect's attack on Hongmian Peak and his powerful display of power to kill the master of Beiming Palace has also spread to all the Immortal Sects through the circle of immortal friends. Master Wen Yuan and Master also have tokens in their hands, so they should know about it. Knowing this, they will probably return to Shushan soon.
Chu Liang felt that Master Wen Yuan would first organize people everywhere, and then go to the far west after being fully prepared. Unexpectedly, the headmaster of Shushan killed him by himself, and his allies caught up one after another. It can only be said that he still slightly underestimated his position in Wen Yuan's heart.
After thinking for a while, Chu Liang took out the token and sent a formal message: "I'm back."
