The bright moon sits on the ground

The chill is getting stronger, the rime is getting deeper, and the frost and snow are passing over the cheeks, with a tingling feeling of splitting.

Xuanxiu flicked her sleeve robe, so as not to be stained with those fine snowflakes. The evil spirit is like a greedy beast that never tires, constantly climbing up, and soon climbed halfway up the mountain, and was entangled by the indestructible layer of myriad weapons. He stopped, unable to move an inch.

He exhaled lightly, and the warm breath formed white mist in the air, and slowly dissipated to the surroundings.

The vast sky was torn open, and the fire like a furnace penetrated in. The long bell echoed in the heavenly court with a sense of chilling. It struck 81 [-] times. The ancient clock was silent for too long , when it opened its mouth, it seemed extraordinarily noisy, one sound after another, like a spell to urge death, and the huge heavenly palace fell apart in the sound of the bell, falling to the clouds.

The steaming flames scattered on Xuanxiu's body, erasing the color of frost and snow, seeming to set his sleeves on fire.

Breathing suddenly became painful, and his heart and lungs trembled. He held the blood in his palm, but he didn't look up.

Xuanxiu guessed that he was probably the first immortal to arrive at Kunlun, after him, there might be more immortals who set foot here.

The square open sky mirror that had been hanging there since birth was missing on the chest, and it was empty. Xuanxiu was not used to it for a while, and always had to touch it subconsciously, but, he thought, he would get used to it, after all this This kind of thing will go on for a long time.

Counting the time, Sanqing should have entered his cave, saw the square mirror, and the handwriting left on the table.

He dipped his finger in ink as a pen, and wrote a few lines on Baishi's desk.

"I knew you might come to me."

"I have some things to confirm, so I probably don't have time to say goodbye to you."

"This Sifang Kaitian mirror, please keep it for me."

At the end, he added a few words: Xuanxiu's must-write.

I don't know how Sanqing will feel when he sees this scene.Xuanxiu was surrounded by those turbulent evil spirits, and was pushed forward. He looked as usual, pondering for a while, looking for a moment of pleasure from this boring chaos.

However, this is indeed a journey with no return, he knows it very well, and Sanqing probably knows it better than him.

Thinking about it this way, the Kunlun Palace is already close at hand. If the weapons in the Ten Thousand Weapons Formation feel something, they buzz and stare at the raging evil spirits outside the formation. Completely cut off——Xuanxiu brushed away the evil energy lingering around her, took a step forward, stretched out her hand, and let the cuff slide to the crook of her arm, and then suddenly smiled.

His fingertips landed on the violent formation, and he opened his lips and said: "This formation, you should open the door for me."

The wheel of Destiny ran over Kunlun fiercely, and the Ten Thousand Weapons Formation opened at the sound. Xuanxiu lowered her arms and easily crossed that layer of formation. The evil energy running around was quickly cut off by the sharp blade, but Xuanxiu, who seemed to be walking leisurely in the garden, became tricky. After a few breaths, only one broken weapon remained.

There was an extremely cold aura in the formation. If you didn't observe carefully, you might think it was the chill brought by the heavy snow.

Xuanxiu recognized that it was Baixuan's spiritual energy, mixed with traces of evil energy, two forces that were born to repel each other and never compromised were constantly entangled, sometimes the spiritual energy prevailed, and sometimes the evil energy prevailed, and a winner had to be drawn Can't come.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before the evil energy would completely disrupt the balance, causing Bai Xuan to lose his soul and fall into madness.

The wind and the snow were brutal, and in the vast white mist, there was a huge shadow churning, ups and downs, as if struggling.

Baixuan planted the ancient vine on his heart, and Xuanxiu was quite surprised when he realized this, he knew that most of the evil spirits in Tiangong had something to do with Kunlun, so he had to confirm it himself, but this was what he expected other things.

Before he got close, a silver gun flew past his cheek, followed by Liang Kunwu's voice.

"Your Highness Ninth Prince." Through a layer of white mist, his voice seemed particularly erratic, "If you still have a sliver of sanity, you should remember the death order issued by the emperor. If any god goes astray, he will be punished by this All the immortals in the heavens are encircling and suppressing, even you are no exception."

The weapons in the formation began to vibrate, as if responding to the Kunlun Immortal Lord's words, Xuanxiu listened, but didn't feel panicked.

"Kunlun Xianjun doesn't have a trace of aura in his body, so he can find a shelter in this evil place." Xuanxiu raised his arm while speaking, and then, he turned over his wrist, and Liang Kunwu could clearly feel that he The evil spirit in the body suddenly disappeared like a docile and well-behaved pet, replaced by pure aura, "Immortal Lord should believe that others have little secrets."

Liang Kunwu was silent for a moment, and asked, "Since when did His Highness be able to manipulate evil energy at will?"

"That's what happened in the past few years." Xuanxiu disagreed with him, "Kunlun Immortal Lord should know that I am often depressed recently and rarely show up. As I grow older, the spiritual energy in my body is getting deeper and stronger, and the evil spirit is always there. Trying to devour my soul, I spent most of my time hiding in the cave, barely maintaining my sanity... Later, I gradually mastered the trick."

In the final analysis, it was because of his special constitution that the evil energy was connected with the spiritual energy, which could not be cut off, nor could Kunlun be involved.

The white mist dissipated, revealing the figure on the high rock. The dark red clothes were tied loosely around his body, revealing his dark skin, which was so dark that no light could penetrate it. It was painted with complex golden patterns, layer upon layer, like waves rippling on the surface of a lake. The open water waves appear and disappear from time to time.

The huge fox is half lying in the snow, the fine snow penetrates into the snow-white hair, it is difficult to distinguish, the nine tails are paved into a meandering river, the pattern of blood on its forehead flows down, flows down the eye sockets, and The blood that was gradually drying up was mixed together—it was obviously struggling, trying to suppress the evil spirits in its chest, and also trying to pull out the weapons on its body.

"I didn't see the figure of that Langfeng Immortal Lord," Xuanxiu said seemingly unintentionally, "Could it be that you drove him back to the human world?"

He didn't intend to wait for Liang Kunwu's answer, he took a few steps forward, and the winding robe lightly swept across the thin snow, drawing an inconspicuous trace. Immortal Xuanpu obviously had no sanity at all at this time, seeing Xuanxiu When he approached, he just stared at him closely with those cold and slender eyes. The gods who are about to fall into the devil are like this, they will gradually lose all emotions until they become numb.

"During this period of retreat, I have been thinking about one thing." After a long while, Xuanxiu looked at Bai Xuan, and suddenly said, "Because the father and the mother are often involved in business affairs, I didn't take these imaginary words told them."

"Aura and evil, good and evil, who decides? And who first condemns evil as the object that needs to be expelled?"

Liang Kunwu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he didn't interrupt Xuanxiu's words, but listened to what he said.

This Ninth Prince is notorious for not following the rules, otherwise he would not have moved out of the Heavenly Court and established his own Dongfu. He always does whatever he wants, and often makes some shocking remarks. got used to.

"Since ancient times, good and evil have never been in harmony. Spiritual energy and evil energy have confronted each other. It is necessary to distinguish between the superior and inferior, and the gods of this Tiangong are too loose. They think that if they tie the evil energy to the ancient vine, they will be able to do it once and for all, so they have never thought about it. , even extremely repelling evil spirits, for fear of avoiding them." When he said this, he smiled, "Of course, if it were me, I can't guarantee that I will choose to be wise and protect myself like them, but destiny is, I've been like this since I was born."

There will be a day when Gu Teng will not be able to bear the evil spirit. Xuanxiu has already considered this point, so it is not surprising.

He paused, as if he had noticed something, and said: "The Greedy Wolf Star Lord is almost at Kunlun, please Kunlun Immortal Lord to stop him... It seems that time is running out, next, I'll just tell you the conclusion."

"Kunlun Immortal, Xuanpu Immortal." Black dragon scales appeared on Xuanxiu's body. He was using his pure and pure aura to suppress the evil spirit in Baixuan's body. It made Bai Xuan's consciousness clear for a while, "The reason why the gods fall is not caused by evil spirits. Evil energy and spiritual energy are like Yin and Yang. They complement each other and can never be completely separated. Therefore, even if the evil spirit on the body Tied to Kunlun, some gods still fall into demons."

"Immortal Lord, try to think about what it feels like when you swallow the elixir: the spirit orifice turns and accepts the aura in the elixir without reservation." He said, "We reject evil because what we have is There is no place for spirit orifices to contain evil energy, so we can only let it flow freely in the body, completely breaking the balance, attracting spiritual energy to flow, and the combination of the two will lead to the fall of immortals."

"It's actually inaccurate to call the state of being in chaos a 'fallen devil'." Xuanxiu and Bai Xuan looked at each other, and said, "If it's really a fallen devil, the spirit orifice turns into an evil orifice, and the balance in the body should be Recovery, how can it be possible to be muddled and unconscious?"

"As for why I am not connected to Kunlun, it is easy to explain now. My father and mother once told me that if this matter is spread, the heavenly court may be in chaos, so I have kept it hidden for so long. However, today the court is overthrown , these words should not be considered a secret.” When Xuanxiu said this, he lowered his voice, maybe he also knew that he would never be able to see Emperor Donghua and Queen Mother Xi for the last time, “I can’t connect with Kunlun, is it Because I was born with both spiritual and evil apertures."

In this huge heavenly palace, no one knows what the "evil orifice" is. He stumbled and pondered for thousands of years before he successfully manipulated those violent evil auras to carefully bypass the spirit orifice and merge into the evil orifice. Only in this way can he manipulate it at will. The balance in the body.

Bai Xuan finally opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, and he asked: "What is the purpose of Your Highness Ninth Prince telling us about this matter?"

"My subsequent words do not imply any coercion, and I only leave the right to choose to the hands of the immortal." Xuanxiu said, "In my prediction, if an immortal cannot get rid of evil spirits and will fall into chaos, it is not that there is no way out at all. .”

Bai Xuan looked into his eyes, for some reason, he also guessed most of what the Ninth Prince would say next.

"Cut off thinking, abandon the godhead, abandon the spirit aperture together, and then accept the evil." He said, "That is, to fall into the devil."

All the gods in this heaven think that evil is evil, but the Xuanxiu Xianjun in front of him doesn't think so, Bai Xuan thought, he always seems to put forward such suggestions that others cannot understand, and he is always good at breaking the rules and setting off vigorous changes .

He probably had a vision long ago, and wanted to change the status quo of the heavens, but suffered from the fact that no one dared to make such an attempt.

"Whether you want to fall into chaos and lose consciousness, or abandon your godhead and fall into the abyss, Immortal Xuanpu, it's up to you."

Bai Xuan remembered an incident a long time ago, when Gu Teng hadn't made any mistakes, Xu Lang hadn't fallen into Kunlun, and Chu Lang was still Langfeng Immortal Lord.Most of the gods are idle, and it is very common to sit and discuss the Tao, but in Kunlun, Liang Kunwu is reticent, Bai Xuan is quiet and introverted, Chu Lang is indifferent, and they are not interested in this, so they seldom discuss the Tao.

There was only one time, when they had just passed a very slow full moon, and all they could see was ruins.

Bai Xuan didn't remember exactly who started the topic, but he remembered Chu Lang's words very clearly.

"What is meaningful in this world is not only new life, but also destruction." Looking at the ruins in front of her, she raised her hand and made a talisman, making the ground full of flowers, and making it wither in an instant, reduced to mud, "whether it is new life or death , are magnificent and vast, and most gods love to see blooming flowers, but disdain to see it gradually decaying. However, just like the scene in front of us, it is not meaningless. Many times, only the day comes to us Only then can we get a glimpse of the meaning of a star from the cramped destiny."

"After destruction, there is often a new life, like a dead tree in spring, like a wildfire extinguished. After a heavy snowfall, the scorched forest sprouts new shoots." Chu Lang stood up, and the blood-smelling breeze slipped through her fingers. , she said, "There must be a painful price to pay. However, if the end of the road is destruction, I hope I can be that martyr."

Now, facing the proposal of His Highness the Ninth Prince, Bai Xuan was quite emotional, thinking that Chu Lang had indeed become a martyr for change.

These two choices are actually asking, do you choose to perish, or choose to live on.

If it were any other time, Bai Xuan would never choose to abandon his godhead. After all, falling into the devil is tantamount to betraying the heaven. He will lose his status as a executioner and his white clothes will be stained with mud. There may be a return day.

However, if they fall down here and perish for such a ridiculous reason, it will be considered as erasing all the efforts they have made before, and thousands of years will become meaningless... He laughed in his heart, and suddenly felt There was a pang of pain.

After the destruction, it is difficult to obtain a new life. Even if you try your best, you must pay a painful price.

There should not be only one martyr. Before Chu Lang and after Chu Lang, many immortals also fell because of this.

Facing the gazes of Liang Kunwu and Xuanxiu, Baixuan spoke, his voice was soft but firm, "I will abandon my godhood."

That small, faltering flame that could be extinguished by the wind, someone always needs to keep it going.

He thought that if he had to choose, he could be the successor.
