Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Green pines.

People are born in the 827,971th year of the calendar of gods and demons.

Fa Xiaoyouren was the same year as Ming Zhengde and grew up in the same village.

He showed extraordinary talent since he was a child. He fought with the Holy Emperor for decades, and eventually became the founding father and the most meritorious minister.

But Cangsong knew very well that he was just a middle-aged man, at least a little smart, but not more.

It's just that Ming Zhengde was too foresighted, which made him stand out because he could successfully complete the tasks he assigned.

As for cultivation, if it weren't for the vast resources of the new dynasty that allowed him to try again and again, he wouldn't even think that he could break through to the realm of real people. At most, he would reach the peak of the heavenly level and then waste his life.

In order to catch up with his friend and live up to his ardent expectations, Cangsong repeatedly asked himself and worked hard, and finally managed to catch up with him.

Yes, it's very hard.

But it is far less difficult than Ming Zhengde's hard work.

Yes, Cangsong once thought about giving up, or simply retiring and returning to his hometown - the Holy Emperor's pace was too fast, the task was too urgent, and his requirements were too high, which made people feel that he seemed to regard everyone as The expectations of a saint are as touching as they are touching, but at the same time they feel powerless.

But when he followed Ming Zhengde and fought in all directions, fighting with many powerful enemies, and putting himself in near-death danger again and again, Cangsong finally understood that Ming Zhengde had absolutely no requirements for anyone, and he had nothing to do with him. Be strict on your own.

——How can anyone regard the rise and fall of the world and the sorrow and joy of all people as their own responsibility?

——How can anyone regard fighting against gods and demons and changing the world as a matter of course?

In the past million years of the Gods and Demons, there has been no one else.

so.

——How can we help him?

——How can we not become a burden to him?

In the past, Cangsong had been thinking hard.

He knew that Ming Zhengde had many allies - whether they were divine birds or gods in the sky, they were all allies of the new dynasty in a sense.

But the purpose of the divine birds is to wait for the phoenix to come to the world, lead them to conquer the gods and demons, restore the clarity of the heaven and the earth, and restore the principle of the rotation of the five virtues. Ming Zhengde was one of their pre-selected targets, but he was not the only one.

The Immortal God's purpose is only to suppress the increasingly turbulent Jiuyou with the new dynasty as its source. Ming Zhengde is an existence they admire, but it is almost a tool that is not very easy to use and has its own ideas.

Those existences cannot fulfill Ming Zhengde and his ideals.

The ultimate heavenly power restores peace and clarity to the world. Breaking the catastrophe of immortality, everyone in the world can be perfect.

Such a wish, even to myself, seems ridiculously exaggerated. Does anyone really believe that it can be accomplished?

impossible.

Even if he is, he is just a fool who follows Ming Zhengde towards the dead end even though he knows that nothing can be done... and just follows him to the end.

However, Candlelight is different.

Although it was only a few glances from a distance, Cangsong felt a kind of purity from the young-looking Zhu Zhou.

Even, it is a purer flame than Ming Zhengde.

——The arrival of candle day is a sign of revolution!

Such rumors have been circulating among the people. It is said that this is a magical bird that can bring about change. It is the fire in the abyss, the sound in silence, the silence in noise, and the life in death.

His arrival was an unprecedented drastic change. It was also the first time for Cangsong to see Ming Zhengde in such a state of disbelief. He was happy, worried and thoughtful about his arrival.

Even after that meeting, I became very upset.

It's okay, Cangsong. It's just that the ways are different. In terms of the ultimate goal, Zhu Zhou and I are the same.

After his arrival, Cangsong noticed that Ming Zhengde's mood finally calmed down, and his demeanor returned to its original calmness and dignity.

But Cangsong knew that he was indeed confused.

The Holy Emperor, who was never confused and could keep going all the way, began to worry about whether he was right.

so.

He came here.

The sacred bird's perch, the outer platform.

When no sacred birds are stationed, the huge sacred bird perch will serve as one of the pillars of the Kyoto formation, providing spiritual power for the operation of surrounding residential facilities. The force attribute shines with different brilliance.

At this moment, under the green-gold light, Su Zhou's expression looked a little strange.

You mean, you want to know why Ming Zhengde and I have conflicts?

The young man shook his head in a strange tone and said: Actually, there is no contradiction. How can I put it? Different people must have different ideas. Seek common ground while reserving differences - I will definitely do my best to abide by the contract and contribute to the world.

Ming Zhengde's confusion is actually because he himself is aware of some of his own mistakes... It may not necessarily be a mistake, but he must be aware of the contradictions in his heart.

Whether it is persisting and reaching the end, or eliminating conflicts and moving to the next level, it is the right path.

On the contrary, it's you, Cangsong. Your move to come to me privately like this is actually not good for either Ming Zhengde or me. That means I don't care about these little things, but if it's other kings... pay more attention next time ah.

……I know.

Regarding Su Zhou's advice, Cangsong sighed: But I still want to confirm your thoughts personally, so that I can feel at ease when I work... Master Zhu Zhou, although His Majesty himself behaves normally, you must be very... Clearly, he was starting to get confused.

Your Majesty is the center of Yingtian Chengqi's Five Virtues Formation in the future. His safety is not only the safety of one person, but also the safety of hundreds of billions of people in Zhongzhou in the new dynasty - I can't help but worry and come to ask you. What’s going on.”

With your help, our plan will definitely go smoother... I won't bother you this time.

Su Zhou stared at the green pine tree standing in front of him.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that this man was not just representing himself.

Behind Cangsong, beside him, are the wishes and souls of thousands and thousands of people who follow Ming Zhengde - they follow the future revealed by Ming Zhengde for them, even if that future seems gloomy now. There is no light, no way forward, and I move forward without hesitation, even if the outcome is likely to be broken into pieces.

Yes, how could a person who can make up his mind to fight against gods and demons in this world lack courage?

Pause.

Therefore, Su Zhou said this.

Then Cangsong stopped.

When the new minister turned around in confusion, he saw a pair of pupils with the marks of gray mist gears rotating.

His eyes flashed, and with a thought, Su Zhou went back hundreds of thousands of times to see the traces of Cangsong's life.

——The cycle is turning——

Su Zhou saw many, many things.

——The closest follower, the more distant support, the longer collaboration, and the common fight for eternity.

Different from ordinary reincarnations, each life of Cangsong is fragmented, and only a hazy halo of chaos can be seen. But even so, Su Zhou can see that Ming Zhengde has been a collaborator for many generations as he has fought hard. , making determination again and again.

Although, as the number of rebirths increased, Ming Zhengde moved faster and faster, so that the general Cang Song, who was originally a helpful helping hand and fought together, gradually turned into a minister who only needed to safely handle government affairs in the rear. .

But the determination never changed.

I want to live and change the world. Cangsong, can you understand and help me?

……ah?

The child who is only six years old does not know what it means to be a child prodigy or even a powerful reincarnation. Although he has already begun to practice under the guidance of the other party and has opened up his spiritual wisdom, he wants to let a child It is indeed a bit too difficult to understand what 'changing the world' means.

However, this does not mean anything.

OK!

Because of course he would say that answer.

Every time.

Looking back, a gray halo flashed in Su Zhou's eyes.

Until the end.

Thirty thousand lifetimes ago.

Su Zhou saw that scene.

In the Era of Gods and Demons, eight hundred and thirty-seven years, Zhengyang fought against Kunyao in Dongxuan.

He saw the young Human Emperor who was just fighting on the front line as a squad leader, and he also saw the tragic battlefield where the sky was dark and the blood was flying in the sky.

Of course he also saw Ming Zhengde, whose life was saved by his best friend, with a shocked expression on his face, numbly flying out of the battle circle, and staring blankly at the scene where his best friend died.

I also heard the last words Cangsong said.

Zhengde, live on.

This was the initial obsession.

Thirty thousand lives later, Ming Zhengde is no longer satisfied with just living on his own. What he hopes is that everyone, all those who accompany him, can live.

That is his perfect ending.

I see.

It seems like it's just an illusion.

Cangsong felt as if he saw some rotating mark in the eyes of Zhu Zhou in front of him, but the next moment, the mark disappeared, and he could only hear a rather emotional voice: Is that so?

It is almost impossible to directly spy on Ming Zhengde. Not to mention being the core of thirty thousand reincarnations, the cause and effect of Ming Zhengde is so huge. Just its length of time and strength are far beyond the scope of Cang Song.

But precisely because of this, it was much easier for Su Zhou to spy on Cangsong's reincarnation than to spy on Ming Zhengde.

Facing the confused Cangsong who was suddenly called down, Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh: I'm afraid you have more courage than Ming Zhengde.

——He knows that he may have another life, so he can choose a path, try mistakes, face hardships, and finally be reborn again and again and endure pain.

——But Cangsong is different. He has not been reborn. Many times he knows that the road ahead is a dead end, an impossible road of death, but he still has no hesitation and continues to follow what he only has in his life.

What on earth is going on, Master Zhu Zhou?

Regarding Su Zhou's sudden emotion, Cangsong was naturally a little confused - why did he have more courage than Zhengde? Where did these words come from? In the face of gods and demons, he just dared to die, but Ming Zhengde dared to live to bear the weight of all living beings and fight against the opponent.

nothing.

Su Zhou also laughed at this time: I just want to tell you that there is no need to care too much about Ming Zhengde's mental health.

On the contrary, you should pay more attention to your own thoughts and your own safety.

He chuckled, but said to Cangsong in front of him in a solemn tone: Because of you, you. It is his motivation and his anger.

His obsession to change the world and his power to declare war on gods and demons.

I was actually a little worried at first. What if Ming Zhengde gets into trouble on his own? There is no need to worry now. As long as 'friends' like you still exist, he will never lose his way.

In the end, Cangsong left with confusion.

However, he could be considered to have achieved his goal by hearing Zhu Zhou's assurance.

What do you think, Su Zhou, what do you think of this Ming Zhengde?

Watching Cangsong's leaving figure, Su Zhou heard Yala's inquiry: Although he doesn't look like a perfect family member, what he does is undoubtedly the perfect way.

...how to say, a person's life cannot lack doubts.

Watching Cangsong's back disappear into the shadows, Su Zhou also turned his head and returned to the sacred bird's perch, continuing to transform the immortality method with Sara.

In his heart, he seriously answered Snake Spirit's inquiry: For the innovation in my heart, doubt is the driving force for progress.

“Only when we have doubts can we discover and solve problems, and then progress and innovate.”

If you lose your doubts and doubts and start to pursue perfection on your own, it will be the same as death. The way to perfection gives me this feeling... But Ming Zhengde is not dead, he is still alive. Thirty thousand lives It’s such an amazing person to be able to live with such vitality.”

Haha, indeed.

This time, even Yala did not refute. He nodded happily and said: This little guy was lifeless before, but now he is confused, but he is a little cute.

It's a pity that I don't know what Perfect's condition is now, otherwise I really want to see his expression!

Who knows?

In response, Su Zhou just smiled and shook his head: We just need to do what we should do, the right thing... that's it.

time flies.

The first year of the New Calendar, October 18th, seven o'clock in the morning.

Zhongzhou, Middle Earth, New Dynasty Kyoto.

The sacred bird's perch.

When Sara returned to her personal space exhausted from practicing for two consecutive days and fell asleep, Su Zhou, who was running the prototype version of the 'Yin-Yang Rotation Immortal Method' in his body and cultivating a trace of the spirit of the sacred tree, suddenly opened his eyes. .

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the gate of the platform.

In the spiritual vision, the red light is vast and filled with blazing clouds, just like the sun falling from the sky and shining in all directions.

Are you here? the young man thought.

Then, an old voice was heard, but there was no trace of old age, even full of anger.

In this world, the Suzaku, visit Youfeng's lineage, the divine bird Zhuzhi.

Come in—no, I'll greet you.

He said this, but before the words fell to the ground, Su Zhou had already arrived outside the sacred bird's habitat.

Here, there is an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles who is preparing to open the door and enter. But now, after Su Zhou appeared, he looked at Su Zhou up and down with a serious expression on his face.

You are really young. Looking at this and the vitality all over your body, you are probably not even a hundred years old, right?

She said in a rather amazed tone, and even stretched out her hand and clapped her hands with her wrinkled hands: I thought that the Divine Bird of Candlelight was so powerful that even the old Holy Emperor, who thought he could not move a thousand moves, would be able to compete with him. I didn’t expect that he is also a young bird.”

The future really belongs to you young guys.

With such emotion, the old woman wore a red robe with a simple style, with only a bird pattern painted on the cuffs and corners. The pupils of her eyes were orange-gold, exuding a faint scorching light.

Needless to say, Su Zhou also knew who the other party was.

That was the 'Sacred Bird Suzaku' mentioned by the three Beiling master craftsmen. Ming Zhengde said that the Suzaku senior would recast the body of the Blade of Destruction for him.

The most powerful divine bird in this world is also one of the most powerful weapon craftsmen!

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although the other party is extremely old and does not reveal any aura, Su Zhou can sense that there is a power like a corona explosion contained in the body of this old woman. It is a terrifying power that can destroy a small country, wipe out hundreds of millions of lives, and create an eternal mark on the earth.

The pinnacle real person is only one step away from the gods and demons.

I have met Senior Suzaku, but among my clan, I am not considered a little bird at my age...

Although he knew that this might be regarded as some kind of nickname among the divine bird tribe, and that Suzaku's words should be regarded as some kind of closeness, Su Zhou was obviously not comfortable with this kind of name: Call me Zhu Zhou, or... Just Su Zhou.

Haha, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Youth is your capital. You can't even envy them. The old birds I know wish they were called younger every day.

Waving boldly and laughing loudly, Suzaku laughed heartily. Her cheerful personality was unlike that of an old man. She waved and said: Since you don't want to, then I won't scream.

As for the title, my name is Yan Chili, contemporary Suzaku. You can call me Suzaku or whatever my name is.

I heard from Ming Zhengde that you are also straightforward, so let's not talk too much. Today I will take you to the place where the earth veins are used to build weapons and make all the preparations for you.

All the preparations?

Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but feel a little strange: Senior Chili, what does this mean?

It's very simple.

The old woman who had turned around and was about to turn into light and leave was still full of energy in her words: Your magic weapon is ready for everything, except for the fact that the magic material is extremely sublimated, and the master of the weapon condenses the 'Inheritance Dao Seal' to enter it. ——It's like a fine famous painting. The content is enough to be passed down for eternity, but the paper it carries is not good. Therefore, we and other craftsmen can replace the carrying body for this famous painting. As long as you, the soldier lord, stamp your seal, it will be carried out. The order will fall into place.

For the final sealing, we and other weapon craftsmen cannot do it for you. You can only do it yourself.

However, everything except stamping can be done today.

Su Zhou sounded a little confused at first and had difficulty understanding the adjectives of this craftsman.

But after he followed Suzaku and came to the depths of the land in Zhongzhou, inside the Forging Pond belonging to Kyoto, he once again saw the three Beiling craftsmen and the young man with his own Blade of Destruction, and finally understood what it meant. .

The earth vein furnace was scorching with flames. Standing next to the river of earth vein lava with a temperature of thousands of degrees, Su Zhou and the three master craftsmen looked at Yan Chili with the Blade of Destruction, as well as Geng Jin's Essence, Immortal Tiangang Gold. Waiting for many priceless and even priceless rare materials to step into it.

The essence of a Taoist weapon is a weapon that carries the inheritance of a certain god or demon, or someone close to the god-demon level, and whose power exceeds that of a peak divine weapon.

The Blade of Destruction is originally a peak-level magic weapon. If you want to surpass the limit, you only need to pile up powerful enough materials and melt them into one perfect body - in this way, you can carry some of Su Zhou's inheritance and turn it into strength. A Taoist warrior who surpasses the ordinary peak level of real people and is comparable to the descendants of gods and demons!

The magical power of Taoist soldiers can play a role in enhancing resonance at a geometric level for those who are in line with their Taoism - just like the Qingxiao Zhengyang Ruler. As a Taoist soldier of humanity, it made Nan, the master of humanity at that time, Zhengkai is invincible until he meets the real Emperor Ming Zhengde.

The most important thing is the 'Tao', and the rest are all for the divine weapon to carry and exert the power of this inherited Tao.

Today, I will use the fire of Suzaku to lay the best canvas for your Destruction Blade - as long as you get the Prison-Suppressing Demon-Suppressing Iron later, and then use the 'Nanming Lihuo Talisman' that I will give you later. If it is fused with the divine sword and imprinted with the Tao, there is a 70% chance of becoming a Taoist soldier!

Without using any defensive means or using any spiritual methods, the old Suzaku stepped into the mighty golden-red river of earth veins. Her voice was loud, like thunder, echoing in the deepest part of the Kyoto Forge Pond: The reason is Seventy percent, because you are not a god or demon, and the way of imprinting may not be that profound, but if Zhu Zhou is more powerful than I imagined, then sublimation is inevitable!

The flames surrounded the entangled lady, as docile as the most well-behaved cat or dog pet. The old lady just smiled and bent her fingers. She was so majestic that the power of the torrent of earth veins surpassed that of an ordinary peak person, as if she was being stroked on the chin. Like a house cat, it made a slight vibrating sound.

She stretched out her hand and threw the Blade of Destruction and the divine materials surrounding her body above the river of earth veins. She said calmly: A Taoist magic sword that can kill evil and suppress evil. This is probably what I can do for this world. The last thing that can be done.”

After speaking, Yan Chili's whole body suddenly lit up with a bright red light. A golden red light rose from the old woman's body, turned into a pillar of light, connected to the earth's veins, and finally condensed into a ball above her head. A ball of vermilion flame.

Bang.

The sound of heartbeat came from the flames.

The extremely dull power of blazing flames vibrated.

Bang.

The shock sounded again.

As the scarlet flames continued to erupt with terrifying fire energy, they even began to slowly deform, turning into the prototype of a divine bird with folded wings. The heat waves radiating to the surroundings suddenly became higher and higher. The waves made the three Beiling masters subconsciously want to retreat.

However, they did not retreat, but shouted in a rather tragic voice: Farewell to Grandmaster Suzaku!

Congratulations to Grandmaster Suzaku!

Congratulations...

No, wait! Hearing this, Su Zhou, who had been watching and waiting for the forging of weapons to begin, suddenly felt something was wrong. He loudly interrupted the last words of Craftsman Chu who spoke. Under the shocked gazes of the three master craftsmen, He also said in shock: Stop, why are you suddenly desperate?!

Senior Suzaku, you are just forging weapons, there is no need to burn your roots!

There was silence.

Even Yan Chili, who had just brewed momentum, was stunned, with confusion in his eyes.

Su Zhou was ten times more confused than them.

Of course he could see that Yan Chili just now was clearly trying to use the 'Devil Disintegration Technique' or a taboo secret method like the 'Liu Li Divine Forbidden Technique' to activate every bit of potential in his body and burst out with power comparable to that of gods and demons. .

But... why is this so?

Just forge a knife!

No, what else?

At this moment, Yan Chili was a little confused: Didn't Ming Zhengde tell you? My life is about to expire. If I don't use my full strength, I will probably not be able to leave you the 'Nan Ming Li Fire Talisman' after forging the weapon. , assist the Blade of Destruction in integrating the Prison-Suppressing Demon-Suppressing Iron.

And Su Zhou's tone was even more incomprehensible: Didn't Ming Zhengde tell you? I hold the sacred tree, and I just developed the relevant inheritance a few days ago. It can extend the life of a real person more than ten times!

Immediately, the entire forging platform fell into silence again.

There is another update coming later. I didn’t expect it to be so long today. I haven’t finished writing it yet. I can’t finish the second update in the same way, so I’ll post half of it first.

Please give me a monthly ticket
