blues paradox

The sky is still a clear water blue, as pure as the day when the world was just born, gorgeous phoenixes turned into their original forms and flew in the sky, like countless meteors drawing a string in the sky Fireworks, leaving faint crimson traces.

"Have the phoenixes started to riot?" Blues casually raised his head and glanced at the sky. The barrier here did not cover the sky. He believed that all the phoenixes should have seen the scene where they get along well, and they should be able to guess what happened.He lowered his head and sighed helplessly. As the saying goes, the barrier of the bamboo forest can't last long.

Seemingly seeing what Lan Tuo was worried about, Xiu Xie smiled charmingly, leaned over and gently pressed a kiss on the corner of Lan Tuo's eyes, and said softly, "It's okay."

"Your Highness Xiu, if you don't mind, can I do a little favor?" Ren Qing turned her head to meet Shang Xiu's half-smiling eyes, and said bravely, "I think you probably understand what I mean. For this creature, death is but a new cycle."

"I don't believe you can't do it yourself!" Without waiting for Xiu to answer, the blue tone snatched the words impatiently.

"Indeed, combining the power of the two of us can indeed permanently seal his soul, but... sealing such things is not always safe. Demons are naturally greedy creatures, which is decided by the emperor of the demon world. Our Phoenix Clan is no exception, after seeing your power, I am no longer satisfied with just sealing it. I suppose, maybe we can cooperate again, what do you think?" Renqing said with a smile, She bowed slightly and saluted, but her attitude was still neither humble nor overbearing, without any trace of flattery.Lan Tiao had to admit that such an attitude left a good impression on him, but unfortunately, he believed that Xiu would do the same.

Sure enough, the bright golden eyes were slightly half closed, and there was a bit of interest in the evil smile, Xiu smiled lightly and said: "Tell me what you can give, in fact, this hall does not think that you still exist now." This is the bargaining chip that can be used to negotiate a deal with this hall."

"That's right, there really isn't one now." Ren Qing tilted his head and looked at Mo Xiao, and got a nod of affirmation from the other party. He continued to speak, and his usually cold and emotionless voice was rarely mixed with a little excitement and trembling. , he said: "But it doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. I wonder if His Highness Xiu is willing to take a gamble on the future of the Phoenix Valley?"

"Future?" Xiu seemed to have heard some big joke, the arc of the lips raised a bit deeper, and the still gentle but slightly mocking words spit out from the thin lips that were slightly parted and closed, as if they could Like a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade, it forcibly skinned and gouged out the bones of people, and pushed them into the ice cellar. "Does this kind of thing still exist in the Phoenix Valley?"

Ren Qing was speechless for a moment, the boiling blood in her body seemed to be frozen into ice by Xiu's understatement in an instant, like standing on the top of a snow-capped mountain without the slightest hope of survival.Indeed, no one knows the future of the Phoenix Valley better than the few people present. It is the enchantment set up by the Emperor of the Demon Realm himself, and it is the punishment and retribution for annoying the greatest god in the Demon Realm!

"As long as it hasn't happened, there may be a turning point, although the hope is slim." Mo Xiao stepped sideways and took a step indistinctly, but happened to stand between Ren Qing and Xiu, and relieved Xiu's powerful pressure to a certain extent The oppression of Renqing.He turned around and patted Renqing's shoulder reassuringly, then turned and said: "Besides, the more slim the chance of happening, the more there is an indescribable sense of accomplishment and transcendence. Don't you want to see the established trajectory being overwhelmed?" Wonderful when it breaks? Or, don’t you want to feel the feeling of challenging God, I believe, that taste must be very good.”

"Very well, this hall has to admit that this is really a very tempting hypothesis, then..." There was an inexplicable but dangerous stream of light in the golden eyes, Xiu slightly lowered his head, hiding his whole face in the bamboo forest In the mottled shadows, people couldn't see his expression clearly, but his voice became weaker and weaker, until finally it became almost a whisper, and the corners of his lips curled into a wicked and strange arc, and he said softly: "You The transaction, my Highness accepts."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lan Tiao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, declaring war on the gods, and he was still fighting against the god of creation—the Emperor of the Demon Realm, that's all for Xiu, that person has always been used to being conceited, of course, he does have that capital , but why are the other two so crazy?Should he praise their courage?Or should he look up to the sky and sigh "ignorance is meaningless"? !

The four stood there quietly, waiting for the Great Elder to wake up, waiting for him to add a curtain call note to this event, or rather, waiting for him to lift the unknown veil for the future of Phoenix Valley.The color of the enchantment around him became darker and darker, it was a kind of dark red that was almost black, but no one noticed this situation, of course, the bigger possibility was that no one cared at all.In the mist, who can hear the hoarse cry of the noble phoenix when it is dying?Who can see the flaming feathers falling powerlessly from the sky, stained with traces of blood, like a gorgeous rain in the sky?Who can smell the strong smell of rust that pollutes the pure air?

Among these four people, probably only Ren Qing is a genuine member of the Phoenix tribe, and only Ren Qing is the future of the Phoenix Valley without reservation.However, even he was never moved by the innocent deaths and injuries of those compatriots, or he was already moved, but he didn't let anyone see the clue.He just stood quietly in the middle of a row, staring at the Great Elder who fell on the ground, patiently waiting for him to wake up.

The trembling death is for better survival in the future; the shedding of blood is to create a chance of survival.

"He's about to wake up." Sensitively aware of the slight tremor of the old man's body, Blues said softly.

"No, his remaining vitality cannot support his awakening. He will choose Nirvana and come back to this world with a new life." Renqing explained blankly, this is also their only chance to completely kill the Great Elder— —to take away his entire life when he is reborn with lust.

Sure enough, the old man lying on the ground suddenly returned to his original shape, and the huge and beautiful Phoenix body was exposed in front of the group of people without any hindrance.The long gorgeous feathers reflect the bright streamer under the reflection of the water-blue sky, as if paved with a large piece of beautiful diamonds.In a short while, a cluster of small flames ignited on the phoenix's feathers. It first started from the head, and then quickly spread to the whole body. In the raging flames, the noble and beautiful body was gradually shrunk and blackened, until finally it was burnt to death. A pool of ashes.

Lan Tiao can clearly see that the scattered souls are gradually condensing and forming in the flames that have not been extinguished, and the outline of a small phoenix can be vaguely seen. Is this... the so-called Phoenix Nirvana?

That figure is sometimes hazy like blue smoke, and sometimes clear as a real thing. Lantiao has no doubt that if there is no Xiu, if no one intervenes, it will soon condense into real bodies one by one, with the body of a newborn baby bird The identity survived in this world, and then in the near future, the memory of the "previous life" was awakened, and he became the great elder who led the direction of the Phoenix Clan again.

Stretching out a hand in the void, a complicated magic circle appeared instantly, and the deep halo reflected the bright flame light in front of him, there was an indescribably dangerous charm.Xiu smiled softly, raised his sleeves, and the formation standing in mid-air instantly flew towards the burning flame, wrapped it around the figure's waist, and imprisoned it tightly.

The power of the unformed soul is weak, but it still refuses to give up the dying struggle, which is the instinct of any creature when facing death.Because of its resistance, the array shrinks and becomes smaller, strengthening its confinement.Of course, the result did not deviate from the expectation. The small figure quickly collapsed and scattered under the extraordinary pressure. Unlike the temporary soul scattered when the body was burned before, this time it was permanently dissipated and perished. From now on, this There will never be such a person or a phoenix in the world, and there will never be a respectable elder...

"It's over?" Renqing asked softly with a blank face. The next moment, the entire Phoenix Valley seemed to feel something. For whom will we sing mourning songs.

After the neighing subsided, Lantiao tilted his head to look at Renqing, and said with a sigh, "Yes, it's over."

Ren Qing suddenly knelt down on the ground, and bowed solemnly towards the direction where the Great Elder disappeared.He has never agreed with the views of the Great Elder, but it does not mean that he does not respect him.Using the evil and decaying formation in the cave to resist or even destroy the seal of the Demon Emperor, such a method would only push the Phoenix Clan into a darker abyss, and he even had a faint premonition that the result of going on like this would be the Demon Emperor A real punishment for the Phoenix Clan.But his age and qualifications all determine that he can't stop all of this. The Great Elder's reputation in the Phoenix Clan is too high, so high that he can gather everyone's strength. He has no way to watch the Phoenix Clan go to extinction step by step. , so the Great Elder can only die...

"Let's go, I'll see you off." Ren Qing stood up and said expressionlessly, maybe no one will ever know whether there is some kind of soft emotion hidden under his cold shell.

Blues nodded, and looked up at the water-blue sky for the last time. He probably will never forget that one day, he attended a funeral here...
