"..."
Master Cihang was silent for a long time, and finally gave in under Yang Gang's strong pressure.
She nodded in agreement and said, "I can help you, but you must also agree not to involve me too deeply."
"good."
Yang Gang decisively agreed.
"As long as you find the entrance to the Sea of Misery, others will take care of the rest."
"Give me seven days."
Cihang Zhenren said.
"Three days." Yang Gang said.
"...Yeah." Master Cihang finally nodded.
"please."
"please."
The two sides said goodbye in the lotus pond of Luojia Mountain.
Yang Gang turned around and flew into Qingming, his figure slim. Master Cihang was left standing alone by the lotus pond, dazed for a long time.
In the end, all the chaotic thoughts turned into a long sigh, "Destiny has brought us together, and we really can't escape. It's just... After this incident, there will be no more Master Cihang in the world."
——
Three days followed.
Yang Gang returned to Guanjiangkou and enjoyed three days of rare time with his family.
Eleven days later, the Peach Festival will take place.
The final battle is coming.
This is not a past life, it does not belong to the past, but a present that cannot be repeated. If he dies, he really dies. He cannot guarantee victory in the unknown future, so he can only cherish this last period of time.
Jiang Jiang seemed to be able to feel the pressure in his heart. Without any words, he only showed his gentlest side in front of Yang Gang.
When the sun rises on the third day.
Yang Gang stood up and left.
Jiang Jiang suddenly hugged him from behind and said softly: "If we can truly be together in this life, forever, forever... whatever you want, you can do it."
"Is it okay to do whatever I want?"
Yang Gang was shocked.
"Um."
Jiang Jiang nodded silently.
"..." Yang Gang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive in this life."
He bit the word 'alive' very hard, as if he was taking an oath.
Jiang Jiang looked at Yang Gang's retreating figure, stunned.
Throughout the eternity of reincarnation, the two have experienced countless separations in life and death, but they have never said goodbye like this today. Jiang Jiang's heart seemed to be blocked, feeling heavy and uncomfortable.
"Yang Gang... In this life, I will not let you face it alone again."
South China Sea.
Luojia Mountain.
A ray of golden light fell from the sky, breaking through the layers of clouds and mist, and fell directly next to a pool of blooming lotus flowers.
"Fellow Taoist, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see."
Yang Gang and Cihang greeted each other.
"Is there any news about the entrance to the Sea of Bitterness?" Yang Gang looked at Master Cihang and saw her graceful figure, as misty as clouds, and couldn't help but feel a little sinking in her heart.
"Yes and no."
Sure enough, Master Cihang replied.
"Yang Jun, don't be anxious." Master Cihang raised his hand, suppressed Yang Gang's question, and said proactively: "In the past three days, I have traveled around for nine days, visiting all over the world, and found nothing. I know that the entrance to the Sea of Bitterness is not within the Three Realms. "
"Is it in chaos?" Yang Gang's heart moved.
But the land of chaos is boundless, countless times vaster than the Three Realms. How can we find it? Even with his current magical power, eight days is definitely not enough.
Upon hearing this, Master Cihang nodded slowly, then shook his head.
"Chaos is boundless and illusory. All real and illusory things in time and space cannot exist. The Emperor of Heaven may have been working for tens of thousands of years before he found that entrance. It is almost impossible for us to find it before the Peach Club opens."
"so?"
"There may be a place in this world that is the hidden entrance to the sea of suffering." Master Cihang smiled slightly and looked at Yang Gang with a meaningful look.
"Why do real people look at me like this?"
Yang Gang didn't know why.
"Yang Jun, do you still remember who broke the sea of suffering at the last moment of the last life?" Master Cihang asked.
"I, Stone Emperor, Haotian."
Yang Gang said three names, suddenly his heart moved and he raised his head suddenly.
"Then Yang Jun still remembers where it is?" Master Cihang asked again.
"Buzhou Mountain."
Yang Gang accurately named the place.
"Yes, that's where it is." Master Cihang said with great certainty: "When the Sea of Bitterness was shattered, some unknown changes must have taken place, which made it impossible for even the emperor who has climbed to the top of the Supreme Immortal to perceive the existence of the Sea of Bitterness. "
"And the Emperor of Heaven must have discovered something in it, so he entered the sea of suffering at this critical moment when the Heavenly Court was first established, leaving only a clone without any power to guard the Heavenly Court."
"You mean, the entrance to the Sea of Bitterness still exists? At the original site of Mount Buzhou?" Yang Gang said.
"Today's heaven and earth are extremely fragile compared to ancient times. As long as we can find the original site of Buzhou Mountain in ancient times, with the power of the Tianzhu, we will be able to push open the void and reopen the entrance to the Sea of Suffering." Master Cihang said with certainty.
"You mean... use the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to pry open the barrier between heaven and earth?" Yang Gang hesitated: "But the mountains and seas have changed since ancient times, and the heaven and earth have changed greatly. Where can we find the original location of Mount Buzhou?"
"This is up to you." Master Cihang said.
"Me?" Yang Gang looked questioning.
"You forced Zhu Qinglong to knock down Buzhou Mountain, and you broke the sea of suffering. Who else but you can find the original site of Buzhou Mountain?" Master Cihang waved his sleeves, "I have done what I promised you, Yang Jun Please go back. Cihang will be in seclusion for a thousand years, and the affairs of the Three Realms have nothing to do with me anymore."
"So. Thank you so much, Master."
Yang Gang understood the other party's determination and had no choice but to hand over his hand and thank him.
Then he turned and left.
"Alas... there is no end to the sea of suffering, where is the shore?"
After a while.
A thick layer of fog enveloped the South China Sea, and Luojia Mountain disappeared into the vast sea.
From now on, there will be no real Cihang in the world, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva in Journey to the West will probably never be seen again either.
The historical trajectories of the two worlds that were supposed to run parallel have undergone subtle changes.
No one knows who will write the future.
Heaven.
The preparations for the Peach Festival are in full swing.
The entire heaven was operating in an orderly manner, and everyone was working conscientiously and not daring to neglect anything. They all seemed to feel that something big was going to happen.
And the Stone Monkey King and Nezha, two rebellious people, are also planning a huge change.
Seeing that the day of the Peach Festival is getting closer, Yang Gang still hasn't returned.
He wanders alone in the three realms.
The Holy Capital of the Tang Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River, the Northland, the Eternal Demon Realm, all over the world, the far west region, and even the distant land of the rising sun, the underworld... Every once familiar and unfamiliar place has left his footprints.
But no trace of ancient Buzhou Mountain was found.
finally.
Yang Gang returned to the original place of Shengjing.
I stood for a long time in front of the Hongchen Diao Fish Shop, which had not been opened for a long time.
"That's all." He finally shook his head, with an open-minded smile on his face. A ray of golden light fell casually, unlocking the restrictions on the two green dragon statues in front of the door.
Buzz~~~
A green light glowed on the surface of a green dragon sculpture, and the stone body gradually transformed into a flesh and blood body.
When Yang Gang saw this, he turned around and left without saying anything.
"Wait." A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind.
