under one roof

59

The ancients liked to imagine that there is a sky beyond the sky, but modern people have endless attachments to the universe.In the nine heavens, how many secrets are invisible to human beings?

Zhou Jue raised his head, looking at the infinitely approaching heavenly realm, he felt that the road was extremely long, but at the same time felt that he was walking too fast.

"We'll be there in about two hours." Ye Zhifeng whispered beside Zhou Jue, "The army has also assembled, and all the hubs of the Heavenly Court are under our control. It's just..."

Zhou Jue said expressionlessly: "It's just that the Heavenly Court has its own emergency system, and it doesn't accept any divine power to control it. Now all the passages are closed, right?"

This is indeed what Ye Zhifeng wanted to say, he didn't expect that Zhou Jue knew all this.Zhou Absolutely chuckled at him, and said, "It doesn't matter, those defensive barriers are supported by the divine power of the emperors of all ages. In the worst case, we will use them up until he runs out of fuel, or..." His usually gentle expression instantly became indifferent, "Let's see if he really has the heart to watch the world crumble and watch the thousands of humans he guards die. I'm very interested in this point. It is said that God has no emotions. Don't you think this is a paradox? ? Let's make an argument."

"Then... what do you think?" Ye Zhifeng asked.

Zhou said nothing.He was silent for a while, as if he was staring at the vast sea of ​​stars. After a long time, he said to Ye Zhifeng: "Go and do your work, everything is just the beginning, don't take it lightly."

"Yes." Ye Zhifeng replied softly.

What kind of existence is God?Zhou Jue couldn't figure out this question for thousands of years, or the memory of thousands of years was too far away for him, so blurred that he couldn't clearly recall his youthful appearance.But some things are vivid in his memory. He remembers that it has been raining heavily for a few days, and the heaven is always sunny and sunny. There will be no such strange weather.

Zhou Jue moved for a moment, and looked back at the door. There was no one there, but he still said, "Little bird, don't hide."

There was a smear of snow by the door, Luo Bai stepped out half of his body, and looked at Zhou Jue innocently.He has a beautiful appearance. Although he has worked in the assassination department for many years, there is always a pure shadow in his eyes.Now, hesitant to speak, he stood by the door and blinked at Zhou Jue, looking childish.

"Come here." Zhou Jue beckoned to him, and Luo Bai walked over.He was not as elegant as usual, but looked much more lively, like a bird flapping its wings to hide in the arms of a big bird.

Zhou Jue asked, "Is there anything you want to say?"

Luo Bai took Zhou Jue's hand, put a small card in his palm, and said, "Fengdu Difu has been sealed and controlled by me, they can't go there, and neither can Zhili. This is for you... "

Zhou Jue said, "I thought you would give Zhifeng the first time you came."

"I didn't give it to him, he's not you." Luo Bai was cautious, as if offering a treasure to Zhou Jue, "I want to give it to you with my own hands."

Zhou Jue's eyes stayed on Luobai's face, as gentle as the surface of water blown by the March spring breeze, his palms slid down the Luobai's hair, and said, "I don't think you seem to have grown up at all." He He tapped his finger on the tip of Luobai's nose, and continued: "I originally thought that it would be best for you to stay with the Emperor of Heaven in this state, and hang up a idle job without getting involved in too many tedious political affairs. But I didn't expect that By mistake, Lingbao Tianzun cut you off... hey."

"It's not by your side." Luo Bai said, "Isn't it the same everywhere?"

"I hear you seem to be complaining." Zhou Jue said, "It's also for your own good."

Luo Bai sighed: "I know. When I was just a wild crane, it was you who enlightened me to spirituality, and then helped me soar all the way. You...you are always good to me."

When Zhou Jue and Luo Baichu met, it was about a thousand years ago when Zhou Jue had just entrusted the land to the human world.When he first came to the mortal world, he had nothing to do, and he had a bit of a son-in-law's disposition, and he only liked to travel around the mountains and rivers.One day he wandered to a small pool, surrounded by mountains and lush trees, it was summer, and the sunlight and shadow cast on the clear pool, like fish swimming in the water.Zhou Jue stopped to drink water, and saw a white crane flying in the distance and landed in the pool.It is not afraid of people, and it blinks its eyes to look at Zhou Jue carefully, and Zhou Jue also looks at it with a smile on his face.It probably knew that Zhou was not malicious, so it bent its slender neck and stuck its beak into the water.

The mountains and forests were not the habitat of white cranes. Zhou Jue was curious and thought the crane was surprisingly elegant and quiet, so he stayed in the forest for a few days and went to the small pool every evening to see the crane.

The white crane is quite human, after looking for food and frolicking in the wild, it always returns there in the evening.Standing in the water, sometimes bathing his feathers with water in his mouth, sometimes watching Zhou Jue silently, occasionally raising his voice to the sky.

After a long time, it dared to come to the shore to look for Zhou Jue, or flew back early in the morning, and gently pecked Zhou Jue awake with its beak.Or holding Zhoujue's belt and pulling him into the water for fun.

Zhou Jue felt that the crane was really cute and interesting, and then he thought again, such a beautiful life can only have a lifespan of only a few decades, and he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.He shouldn't stay here for too long. On the day before he left, He probably also smelled some sadness about parting, seemed reluctant to part, and hid in Xiaotan as if he was having a fight.Zhou Jue's heart moved, he put his finger on its forehead, and said to Baihe, "You and I met once, and when we parted, I can only give you a little inspiration."If there is a destiny, we will see you again in the future.

He left lightly and disappeared into the shadowy green. The white crane was still staring at the water in a daze. In the blink of an eye, the white crane's feathers shone softly, covering its body.After the white light faded, a handsome young man stood in the pool. His skin was as white as snow, and his hair was like a waterfall of silver threads.He walked ashore slowly, the water on his body fell to the ground, his eyes were still looking at the direction where Zhou Jue left.He looked down at his hands, as if he was recalling what happened just now. He was not human, so his movements were inevitably stiff, but he only remembered one sentence.

If there is a destiny, we will meet each other in the future.

He waited and waited, I don't know how many years he waited in this mountain forest, the small animals that accompanied him gradually grew up, and then died of old age one after another.The flowers bloom and wither, and the small saplings that can be held in the palm of the hand have already grown into a big tree surrounded by saplings. From being tall and tall, they become old and old, and finally they all melt into the dust.

But time has not left any traces on Baihe's body. When he transformed into a bird, his feathers were as bright as before, but when he transformed into a human, he was in a juvenile figure.Later, it gradually opened up, with some outlines, faintly resembling a young man, but compared to those elves he thought were of the same kind, his growth was still too slow.

The elves who have successfully cultivated are about to leave. They said they would go to the human world to see. There are angry horses in fresh clothes and beauties in fragrant chariots in the human world. It is really a colorful world, which is very different from the mountains.But Bai He shook his head, saying that he would wait for someone here.Others advised him, why don't you go out of the mountain and look for it?What if that person forgets you?Bai He thought for a while, and was almost persuaded, but then he thought again, what if that person came back and couldn't find him after he left?He doesn't know what it's like outside, he can only wait here, that person said, if there is fate, we can always see each other.

Later, after an unknown period of time, he began to notice the changes in his body. When he transformed into a human form, he could also ride the clouds and drive the fog, and he could call the wind and the rain.He happily played underwater, but when he came out of the water with a splash, he felt very lonely.There are no years in the mountains, and he doesn't know if he will see that person again.

It rained continuously during that time, and the white crane built a shed with branches and broad leaves to hide from the rain. In the middle of the night, there was thunder in the sky, and cold lightning struck down mercilessly, tearing up the tranquility. .Bai He was at a loss and could only dodge around, but Na Lei pursued him as if he had eyes.He was forced to retreat to a dead corner, and he only felt that his life was over, so he closed his eyes in despair.

He heard thunder, but it didn't seem to hit him.He opened his eyes and saw a black figure standing in front of him.The man was smiling, completely ignoring the lightning and thunder, took off his outer robe and put it on the white crane's naked body, hugged him, and said: "I counted you going through the catastrophe today, so you were almost late. Little bird, If you are killed by Tianlei, I will be sad."

Zhou Jue stretched out his hand and drew a circle around himself, and a hemispherical three-dimensional barrier appeared with them as the center of the circle, blocking the sky thunder outside.Bai He was terrified when he saw the shocking lightning, but he was extremely at ease hiding in Zhou Jue's arms.He showed a pair of big eyes from the clothes, looking at Zhou Jue curiously, but his fingers only grabbed the lapel of Zhou Jue.Zhou Jue only thought that he was so innocent that he had never seen these things, so he was frightened stupid, and comforted him and said: "The spring thunder suddenly strikes, and once this calamity is over, you will be able to ascend to immortality." He stroked Baihe's cheek again, and said: " Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Feisheng, yes, in..." Xueren Baihe couldn't speak smoothly, stammering each word and jumping out, "Together?"

Zhou Jue understood Bai He's meaning, and said with a smile, "The sky is hundreds of times better than the earth, why should you be with me?"

"I want to be with you..." Bai He nestled into his arms and whispered, "Together."

Zhou Jue sighed, "Stupid bird."

Luobai is stupid, and hasn't changed for hundreds of years.From farming to steam, from industry to science and technology, he learned the language well, and thanks to Zhou's enlightenment, his cultivation became more and more refined.He has been trained to be an outstanding assassination god, and he has performed countless tasks. He has never killed any monsters under the knife. He has lived a bloody life, but a smear of white snow has never been stained with scarlet.

Zhou despaired of the empty universe, and said, "What do you think is going on in the heaven?"

"I don't know." Luo Bai shook his head, "Heavenly Court has always been like that. Whether it is chaotic or not, it maintains a precise operation, but the controller is different."

Zhou Jue smiled and said, "So I said, this is so boring. Little bird, do you like that kind of life?"

Luo Bai thought for a while, and said awkwardly: "You said that the sky is very good, better than...better than the world."

"Because I really felt the same way at that time." Zhou Jue was a little dazed, and after a while, he turned around and said to Luo Bai, "Don't you have your own evaluation criteria, and don't you have your own preferences?"

Luo Bai lowered his head and whispered after a long time: "Whatever you like is good."

Zhou Jue asked, "Really?"

"Yeah." Luo Bai nodded, "If you think it's right, then it must be all right."

Zhou Jue asked again: "Then what if I was really wrong?"

This question seemed to be so difficult that he couldn't help it. He thought about it carefully, his expression seemed to be in trouble, and he said after a long time: "Right and wrong are always determined by the majority, and there is nothing absolute in the first place. Even if most people think you are wrong , I only think you are right."

"I'll just say you haven't changed." Zhou Jue's tone softened, and there was a hint of pampering in his sigh, "Stupid bird."

He called him like this for many years, and Luo Bai's heart fluttered. He couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Jue's hand, and said, "I'm not stupid. No one in the sky dares to say that I am stupid, and Lingbao Tianzun has never done this told me."

Zhou Jue said: "Of course I know that Luo Baishangxian is smart and intelligent, otherwise I wouldn't have held an important position in just a few hundred years. But I only think of you as my little silly bird, can't you?"

Luobai tilted his head, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Zhou Jue changed the subject and said, "How about Monkey King and the others?"

Luo Bai said: "They and I are responsible for cleaning up evildoers in the world, and they have never had any precautions against me. They know everything and talk endlessly. I took advantage of him and Ao Lie's unpreparedness, and sealed them together. Among the ruins. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that my cultivation is not as good as the Monkey King, so I'm afraid I won't be able to last long." Luo Bai said, "And they don't belong to the Heavenly Court system after all, if they are found out by the Western Paradise..."

Zhou Jue said: "I didn't intend to do anything to them, but I just hope that there will be no obstacles on the way to the heaven. Oh. And your brother Yang Jian."

Luo Bai blurted out and asked, "What happened to him?"

Zhou Jue said: "I think he has experienced a lot of disasters in the world, but there is a little ghost next to him, who is making a lot of noise."

Luo Bai asked: "Have you dealt with them?"

Zhou Jue said, "It's in Nalingele."

Luo Bai said, "Didn't you kill him?"

Zhou Jue said, "Are you willing to part with your elder brother Yang Jian?"

"Why can't you bear it?" When talking about life and death, Luo Bai was extremely indifferent, "I'm afraid that if I keep it, it will cause trouble."

"I'm not too worried." Zhou Jue said, "How can there be any smooth sailing in the history of change? How can it be called a change without going through ups and downs and seeing no blood? In a corner where no one is seen. I will wait for them to come, after all, to die on the battlefield is a good destination for them.”

Luo Bai nodded half-understanding, and just about to talk to Zhou Jue, Ye Zhifeng walked in without saying hello, and said to Zhou Jue, "Dijun, we are about to land soon." He lowered his head slightly, his eyes But he glanced at Luo Bai who was standing beside Zhou Jue.

"Understood." Zhou Jue started, "I haven't seen Nantianmen for a long time, let's go and have a look."
