When the devil

[The fifth year of Zhaoli, the winter solstice]

Among the people of Zhao State, there was once a legend.

More than 20 years ago, when Emperor Zhaoyang Gu Xiao was young, he was surrounded by the rebel army due to carelessness and fell into a cliff due to serious injuries. Later, someone came to help him and brought him back to life. In Gu Xiao's dream, it was him Living in the nest of a snow-white phoenix, the dying body was soothed by spiritual energy, and the injury of the soul-destroying bone was miraculously healed.

When he woke up, he saw a handsome young master by his side. It was a life-saving grace to meet him by chance. Gu Xiao immediately offered many rewards, and wanted to invite the young master to accompany him back to the palace, but the young master refused to answer. disappeared without a trace.

Gu Xiao returned to the palace and ordered the painters in the world, if anyone can paint the person he saw, he will surely be rich and honored for the rest of his life, but countless people tried but failed to meet Gu Xiao's intentions, which caused Longyan to be furious and wanted to come down. Killing intent.Until one day, Northwest Taoist Venerable Fang entered the palace, and painted the person Gu Xiao had spoken of vividly, and said: "Whoever wins the white phoenix will also win the world."Gu Xiao was overjoyed, he wanted to admire this person, but he couldn't see him, and no one in Wenzhi Palace knew about it, it was like a dream, and left a picture scroll in the world, it's amazing.

Later, when this incident spread to Liuli Mountain, Cang Lin was furious. He twisted the portrait and wanted to stick it on Wei Ling's face: "You have done good deeds, and you have reached the head of the current emperor. Now everyone is saying that you are a white phoenix." , how do you know that you are just a bastard born of an affair between the white phoenix and a human being?"

Wei Ling's eyes lit up after seeing it: "The painting is really good."

Cang Lin glared at him: "What a fart!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."

The person next to him laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist is Fengyue Tianshi Chen Xiao. When he was still on the Liuli Mountain in the early years, he went to Canglin's place to pick up tributes every three days, but today I heard that Canglin was going to do something with Tianyu At the Immortal Venerable Punishment Ceremony, the four Immortals of Glazed Mountain were invited to come and gather together.

"The mortal emperor was lucky enough to be rescued by A Ling, but it's a pity that he has too bad a heart, and he will repay his kindness with revenge, hey!" Fairy Yulan Shen Hua's voice was very soft, with a little helplessness in her leisurely voice, as the only one of the four great immortals Female, she is light and moist all over, and she can smell the fragrance of flowers just standing there.

Chen Xiao laughed until tears came out: "This is not revenge, let him enter the palace and he won't go! What kind of pretense is it? Where is the palace!? Three thousand beauties are waiting!" After finishing speaking, he thought again: "Maybe I don't know if I want Xiao Lingzi to be one of the three thousand and one beauties!"

Elder Meng was so angry that his beard flew all over his face. He took a deep breath, and his breath was almost sucked into his nose.

Cang Lin sighed: "Weiling, what did your adoptive father say."

Wei Ling said honestly: "Father-in-law said that if the imperial court can provide fairy wine to the mountain every month, it might be considered."

Cang Lin directly crushed the apple in his hand, "Go to hell." He threw the core of the apple away after squeezing.

"Master Qilin, it's better not to say these mortal vulgar words! You are an auspicious beast! How could..." Meng Lanzhou said so earnestly, his brows almost knit together.

Shen Hua whispered softly: "I think Master Qilin is so cute."

Chen Xiao: "Even if he eats x, you still think he is cute."

Shen Hua smiled without saying a word.

Cang Lin: "What did you say?"

Chen Xiao: "Huh?"

Meng Lanzhou shook his head vigorously, and his head grew bigger several times after staying with this group of people for a long time. For the sake of his own health, he swayed with a cane and left alone.

"The world is a good place, better than this deep mountain and old forest, with delicious wine and food, beauties and gentlemen." Chen Xiao sat down cross-legged, with long hair hanging on the ground, lined with a lavender robe to show the charm of the fairy, as the highest among the four great immortals Man, he exudes an inviolable sanctity, which is far from the arrogant youthful spirit in his words.

Cang Lin glanced at him, jumped down from the comfortable fairy seat, and sat next to Chen Xiao: "Come back to business." He raised a pair of cold eyes and paused on Wei Ling's face: "Your own evil fate Find a way to cut it off by yourself, and I, the people of Liuli Mountain, must not be too deeply involved with the world, understand?"

Wei Ling nodded, and bowed heavily: "Keep it in mind."

Shen Hua smiled and said: "Although Ah Ling was brought up by He Yu, he came out of the mud and was not stained. Ordinary people's lives are short, and it will be many years before they find a chance to go down the mountain. The emperor has already returned to the west by the crane."

Wei Ling smiled awkwardly, last night he was secretly taken down the mountain to drink by He Yu, Cang Lin just didn't care about it and didn't point it out to him.

Cang Lin still stared at him, and asked coldly, "Weiling, are you not curious about your own life experience at all?"

Wei Ling lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Ye-father never mentioned it, and I have no intention of asking."

Cang Lin's eyes were like a ray of blue flames: "If you jumped out of the cracks in the rocks, wouldn't you be curious?"

Wei Ling smiled, and couldn't be more gentle and authentic: "I was taken care of by my adoptive father until I was a baby, and it doesn't matter to me what happened in my previous life."

Cang Lin laughed twice and didn't think it was disobedient: "Forget it, it's really not important. Although you have some blood, you are mostly restricted by the mortal system. No matter how high your cultivation is, you will not turn into a white phoenix. But ah, the persistence of mortals It is extremely troublesome to read, let alone that person is the emperor, he thinks you are, and Quan Zhaoguo also believes that you are, so in the future, your troubles will be inevitable."

Chen Xiao listened for a while with his chin resting on his shoulders, and suddenly interrupted: "But the emperor dreamed of the white phoenix, did it come from a dream?"

Cang Lin suppressed his smile when he heard this: "Weiling's spells are more or less tainted with the aura of the white phoenix, and even the air flow is a bit cooler than ordinary fairy spells. The mascot, the white phoenix is ​​an auspicious omen, perhaps he was taken care of in a dying illness, and he had unreasonable thoughts."

Chen Xiao laughed: "Oh, I understand, pearl, emerald and white jade soup."

Shen Hua didn't understand: "What is that?"

Chen Xiao explained: "In the past, when a mortal was starving and destitute, someone made soup for him with a piece of tofu and a strand of green vegetables. He thought it was the best soup in the world. Later, he became an emperor and tasted all the delicacies in the world. I searched for the soup I drank at that time, but I can’t find it anymore.”

Shen Hua still looked puzzled: "Your analogy is wrong, Ah Ling's immortal technique is the best in the world."

Chen Xiao was choked by her, and his slender eyes leisurely glanced at Wei Ling: "Really?"

Wei Ling said indifferently: "If you don't take it seriously, please don't make things difficult for Fengyue Tianshi, I don't intend to fight with you."

The culprit pondered and laughed.

At that time, Wei Ling never thought that Gu Xiao would pester him in every possible way, even to the point of madness, because of this matter. All this seemed to be destined, and it was a catastrophe that he could not escape no matter what.

After that, every year on the opening day of Liuli Mountain, imperial envoys would go up the mountain to ask Wei Ling to come down to enter the palace. At the beginning, they simply gave gifts, and Wei Ling also responded that she was not the white phoenix that the emperor said, but later, The imperial court intensified and began to force each other fiercely. Later, it was heard that those who refused to invite Wei Ling were all executed by Gu Xiao, and even threatened to set fire to the mountain and slaughter the glass city.

But in the end, Gu Xiao didn't make it to that step, instead he let go of his self-esteem and arrogance, and year after year, he personally paid homage at the foot of the mountain.

At that time, Gu Xiao was twenty-two, and he had been in power for less than four years.

He ascended the throne at an early age, succumbed to being a puppet emperor, endured humiliation, and was able to rule the country with power.

He killed important ministers, expelled blood relatives, took over the military power at the border, and started a war that started a prairie fire.

he prayed.

May the mountains and rivers be safe and the world be safe.

But that's for another day.

He rants again——

I swear, the power of the dynasty will bring peace to the world.

[The 25th year of the Zhao calendar, the great cold]

"We are willing to shed all our blood, chase away our souls, and pray that all things in the world will annihilate Zhaoyang, and the evil emperor must die, and there will be no redemption!"

People are screaming and suffering, grief and despair permeate the earth, and blood and tears are like a sea, overflowing the endless territory.

When the world was chaotic, heavy snow fell and smoke and dust billowed.In hell, sinking into the endless night.

He was dressed in a dragon robe, and he lived on the city wall. His tall figure was reflected by the raging fire in the brazier. In the distance, there were thousands of miles of scorched earth, and the flames of war littered the field with corpses everywhere.

The guards on both sides held their spears tightly, held their chests high, and let the wind and snow blow their silver helmets and red tassels.

"Xianzun, long time no see."

In the howling wind, the emperor was no longer the young and frivolous one in his memory. He turned around, his expression as calm as ice. It was the majesty that penetrated the bone marrow and melted into the blood, but only slowly swayed away to the person in front of him. A smile like a spring breeze.

Wei Ling stopped not far from Gu Xiao, and it has been more than twenty years since we met for the first time. His brows are straight and his expression is sharp. Wei Ling even looks a little strange to this face, but the latter has a completely different mentality. The old man, replaced by softness, is just calm and cold scattered in the false warmth, the chilling illusion lingers and disturbs people's hearts.

"Look." Gu Xiao raised his long sleeves, and slowly shifted his eyes to the outside of the city: "The evil way wants to bring that disaster to the world, what should I do?"

At that time, a huge amount of grievances had already gathered on the battlefield, and the ups and downs in the wind and snow were endless.

Wei Ling didn't look at the miserable situation, but just looked at Gu Xiao quietly: "Since I'm here, I'm here to help you overcome this catastrophe, so you can do it yourself."

As soon as the words fell, cold voices filled my ears.

Those silver spears have already pressed down on Wei Ling's neck, and they can poke him full of holes from a slight distance.

Gu Xiao raised his hand and asked the guards to take away their weapons: "The Immortal is willing to come in person, I will think about it." There was a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, but his voice became colder: "But you said to help me get through this Heavenly Tribulation, I don’t approve of it.”

Wei Ling stared at him silently, unwilling to argue with him, Gu Xiao just laughed and didn't continue talking, both he and Wei Ling knew that there was not much time left.

Therefore, Wei Ling raised his hand to recite the formula, and his figure turned into a white light in the snow. The light overwhelmed the burning flames and the endless roar of the darkness. The wind pressure he aroused when he left was so soft, Blowing away the black hair hanging from Gu Xiao's side face.

The untainted white light flashed in his amber eyes like falling stars.

"Millions of dead souls, once you suppress them, they will be useless." Gu Xiao stretched out his hand, holding the light powder that fell with the snow in the palm of his hand: "It's only your fault that you don't want to go down to the world, and you insist on forcing me to drag you down."

But that day, even Gu Xiao didn't expect it.

The so-called mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

The millions of dead souls that were enough to completely destroy Wei Ling's mind were used by those with a heart, turning them into an even more terrifying curse——

It was at this time that the ferocious beast, Wuwu, descended on the world.
