Chapter 108
Chapter 108 The time has come
The moment he saw Jingxian, Lu Yingjiu was surrounded by a huge sense of security.
After the peace of mind, there is a strong tiredness.
He didn't even have time to say a word before he passed out.
His consciousness has been hazy ever since.
He heard the screams of the attendants, the clanging of weapons, the terrible sound of bones being crushed.
Reluctantly opened his eyes, the wound on his body was bandaged, and the faint yin was slightly cool, effectively suppressing the pain.
Jing Xian hugged him and walked down the dark path.
There are bottomless abyss on both sides of the road, with twisted and crazy faces. They are obviously servants sent by Heaven, but they are even more terrifying than the ghost world.
Lu Yingjiu only glanced at it, his eyelids were too heavy to open, and he shouted, "Jingxian..."
Jingxian said in a low voice, "Go back to sleep, I'll be here later."
Lu Yingjiu gave a vague response, and then fell back to sleep with peace of mind.
The dream is cold fragrance.
When they are completely awake, there are no enemies around, and they are in a huge hall.
It may be a bit inaccurate to say that it is a palace.
Its whole is very depressed, there is no wind and no other living things, just like a mausoleum.
From the floor to the wall to the ceiling, it is a gray area, without any decoration, and the surrounding is too big to see the end. Only the servant statues standing on both sides are lifelike, they are nearly 100 meters high, holding divine weapons, or standing solemnly or preparing for battle.
When Lu Yingjiu moved slightly, Jingxian noticed it, and his tone was pleasantly surprised: "Are you awake?"
"Well... where is this place?" Lu Yingjiu asked.
"The end." Jingxian said, "the end of everything."
He stopped and put Lu Yingjiu down gently.
Lu Yingjiu was still a little dizzy, barely holding on to the base of the statue, and sat down to rest.
Only now did he notice that the bone-deep wound in his right hand was bandaged, and he could smell the slightly bitter herbal smell. He tried to move his wrist sexually, but there was no pain other than numbness.
Probably because Jingxian used some kind of healing method from the ghost world, which was exceptionally effective.
He also changed into a clean and loose shirt, and the blood and water stains were gone.
Jing Xian handed over the water, Lu Yingjiu took a sip, and smiled: "You still brought so many things?"
"Of course." Jing Xian also sat beside him and smiled, "I've always been like this."
Jing Xian also had freshly coagulated blood on his hands.
You can't see it anywhere else, but it's definitely hurt.
It was the first time that Lu Yingjiu saw him injured. don't know if it was when he was blocking Baigui's night walk, or during the battle with the attendant. Although Jing Xian didn't show it on his face, he still felt a strong tiredness.
Seeing his gaze, Jingxian said nonchalantly, "It's fine, it'll be fine in a while. The attendants can't catch up here, you can rest a little longer and sleep later."
He smiled: "The human figure you just killed is the guard here. After it dies, the other servants will be headless." He kissed the forehead of Zinlu Yingjiu again, "My daughter-in-law is really amazing."
Lu Yingjiu said, "I'm fine, it's you who should rest."
Without waiting for Jingxian's rebuttal, he added, "Your wounds haven't healed yet... If it's normal, it should be fine in a few seconds." He looked at Jingxian and said seriously, "You're tired too, right? ."
From the ghost world to the present, Jing Xian has been fighting non-stop for nearly ten days.
Just as Jing Xian was about to say something, Lu Yingjiu gently hugged him on his shoulders——
For the first time in his life, he leaned on Lu Yingjiu.
Lu Yingjiu hugged him: "I'll watch over you this time." He reached out and stroked Jingxian's temple gently, just like what Jingxian did to him before, "Sleep in peace."
Jingxian was stunned.
He smiled, relaxed his body, stretched out his arms and hugged Lu Yingjiu, and rubbed his profile affectionately.
Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Lu Yingjiu just kept guarding him.
Jingxian slept very deeply, still hugging him tightly in his sleep, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly leave. And Lu Yingjiu caressed the back of his hand and between his eyebrows over and over again, comforting him.
The huge temple was empty and there was no threat at all, but Lu Yingjiu remained absolutely vigilant.Hair Balls was also taken over by his leisure, and his ears beside him looked at the wind.
Very quiet around.
In the dim environment, only the dim sky above the head descended. In the silence, Lu Yingjiu listened to Jing Xian's shallow breathing, and suddenly realized that they were all still alive.
well here.
Nothing beats this.
Twenty minutes later, Jing Xian's eyelids moved.
"Awake?" Lu Yingjiu looked at him, "Would you like to... hmm?"
Jing Xian turned his head and kissed him.
The lips are intertwined, and the kiss is inseparable.
After finally separating, Lu Yingjiu turned dizzy. He heard Gong Jing quickly and said, "I found many places before I saw hair balls and then found you under its leadership.If you don't bleach your oral pain, don't you hurt if you do it for you? "
Lu Yingjiu was even more dizzy: "Slow down, what are you talking about?"
Jingxian didn't answer, hugged him and kissed him for another round, and performed the so-called 'artificial respiration'.
Lu Yingjiu didn't recover at first, and he was even more dizzy after doing this, and it seemed that his brain was deprived of oxygen.
After parting, he held his head: "Why did you come here suddenly..."
It was very calm before obviously!
How did it suddenly turn into a love brain again!
Jingxian said, "I woke up and have energy again."
Lu Yingjiu: "...I see, I shouldn't let you sleep."
"It's good," Jing Xian said after a while, "I can sleep like this a few more times in the future.
Lu Yingjiu: "..."
Jingxian seems to have some strange hobbies.
For the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, it was too late to express more emotion and tenderness, and it was too late to say sweet words. They held hands and continued to walk in the hall.
Forward in a gray landscape.
Lu Yingjiu said, "You said this is the 'end of everything'?"
"Yes, I have an impression of this hall." Jing Xian replied, "Going further, we will be able to see the source of pollution from the Heavenly Dao."
"Have you been here before?" Lu Yingjiu was a little strange.
Jingxian said: "My memory is also very blurry. It was a long time ago, perhaps long ago... before I was born."
Going forward, Lu Yingjiu understood what Jingxian meant.
A heavy door appeared in the hall.
It was a very ordinary stone gate, weighing at least 100 tons, but they just pushed it lightly, and the stone gate opened with a roar.
The scene behind the door was finally no longer dim.
Bright skylight descended from the sky and illuminated the right half of the hall. On the left side is absolute darkness, with bursts of yin energy.
Light and darkness are clearly distinguished, dividing the hall into two sides.
On the left, Lu Yingjiu saw countless flying ghosts.
They are broken and shredded, wandering indefinitely, floating and sinking in the yin air.
"This is..." Lu Yingjiu opened his eyes slightly.
Jingxian said: "These are all remnants. If the powerful remnants leave here and go to the ghost world, they will become priests. Maybe I was a part of it a long time ago, so I am very vague about this place. impression."
Lu Yingjiu said, "The one on the right should be the human world."
He tentatively walked into the light on the right, but Jingxian let go of his hand.
"Plop, plop, plop-"
There seemed to be a pulse in the light, with air and earth tremors.
That pulse is not alone, it is one after another, like the ocean - this is a unique movement that the pulses of countless living people are intertwined and converged.
On both sides of this hall, one is life and the other is death.
Lu Yingjiu looked back, and he was still standing in front of Shimen.Hair Balls also shook his tail and stayed beside his leisure.
Lu Yingjiu asked, "Why didn't you come?"
Jingxian smiled and shook his head: "We can't get through. We can only be on the other side." He pointed to the dark side.
Lu Yingjiu immediately understood.
The two sides corresponded to yin and yang, and he and Jingxian could only go their separate ways.
He couldn't see what was in the darkness.
In the same way, Jing Xian couldn't see him on the other side.
They have to be separated for a while.
Jingxian looked at him and said, "Then we'll see you at the finish line?"
"Well," Lu Yingjiu said, "see you at the finish line."
The two looked at each other from a distance, and each stepped into the two sides of the hall.
In the radiant brilliance, Lu Yingjiu couldn't help but quicken his pace as he listened to the layers of heartbeats.
Faster, faster.
It is said that people and ghosts have different paths, and their thoughts and concepts are destined to be different.
But this has never been a condition to limit them, not before, nor will it be in the future. Love will embrace everything.
Lu Yingjiu knew that at the end of light and darkness, life and death, Jingxian was waiting for him.
Just as he would wait for Jing Xian.
He hurriedly shuttled through the light, and it was only a few minutes apart, but it felt like a hundred years had passed.
Not long after, another stone gate appeared in the distance.
It looked like that was the end.
Lu Yingjiu quickened his pace, almost trotting over, leaving Guangliang——
Jingxian had been waiting there for a long time, and smiled and hugged him.
People and ghosts have different ways.
Same way.
Looking at the giant gate again, the two put their hands on the stone gate side by side.
The Shimen this time was not so good, they almost made every effort, and Hair Balls also struggled to hit the door with the body, so that Shimen trembled.
One inch, two inches, three inches...
It finally opened slowly.
"Whoohoo-"
A gust of wind blew from the crack of the door, rattling their clothes. Lu Yingjiu squeezed sideways through the crack of the door and saw golden figures flying in the air.
Unlike the humanoids he killed, these humanoids had peaceful faces, closed their eyes lightly, and fluttered with the wind, like a flock of golden birds in the gray world.
And at the end...
At the very end is a towering ancient tree.
Can't tell what species it is, it's lush and leafy. Those golden human figures stopped in it, sitting on the branches, looking at the visitor with curiosity.
Lu Yingjiu and Jingxian approached slowly.
Every time he took a step, Lu Yingjiu could feel a little more vibration, as if something resonated with the ancient tree deep in his soul.
It was only when they walked under the ancient tree that they realized that there was a thick black mass at the root of the tree. The roots of the tree were corroded by it, and a large area was rotten, and black water poured out of it.
When Lu Yingjiu's eyes moved upwards——
The tree trunk suddenly opened his eyes!
Eyes of different sizes rotate at different frequencies and in different directions, exactly 59!
Lu Yingjiu muttered: "It seems that this is the source of the infection... But, where did the infection come from?"
Jing Xian raised his head and said, "Water is dripping from above."
Lu Yingjiu: ?
He followed Jing Xian's gaze, and sure enough, there was a small... dark cloud at the top of the hall?
Dark clouds floated abruptly in the air, and fine black rain fell, just dripping on the roots of the trees.
Lu Yingjiu said, "There is a leak in the Taoist house today."
Jingxian: "...Indeed, it's a bit poor."
Lu Yingjiu tentatively threw out a talisman paper.
The talisman floated into the black cloud by the wind and was engulfed, with no reaction at all.
Lu Yingjiu was worrying about what to do when he saw Jing Xian's eyes wandering to the side. Then he suddenly reached out and grabbed the two golden human figures that passed by him!
Lu Yingjiu: ?
Doll: ? ? !
Jing Xian exerted his strength and threw the two of them directly into the dark cloud like a shot put.
"Push!"
After a slight sound, the human figure dissipated, and the black cloud also dissipated.
Lu Yingjiu: "...too violent."
"As long as it's useful." Jing Xian raised his eyebrows, "Look, won't the cloud spread out?"
This time, Lu Yingjiu clearly saw what was behind the cloud.
- That's the whole world.
Birds and beasts, the sunrise and the moon rise, the snow-capped mountains that never melt, the thin green on the antlers and the blue fish lingering in the underground caves. Young shoots break through the ground, young eagles take off, dead trees rot, lone wolves grow old, decay and prosperity coexist, and death is also new life;
Immediately followed by joy, anger, sorrow and joy, birth, old age, sickness and death, the faces of countless people appeared, babies who fell to the ground, old men in their twilight years, dark-skinned men walking on the construction site, and beautiful women dressed up carefully... , firewood, rice, oil, salt, trivial skin, all kinds of trivial things are piled up together to form a variety of life;
Further down is the pitch-black ghost world, where the scarlet flowers on the other side are growing wildly, the situation is changing, the priests control the fire and freeze the ice, the ghosts eat each other, and the bones are piled higher than the mountains. The scene on the eighteenth floor is different, which outlines the madness. The final picture is fixed on the abyss of a tree with blooming flowers and withering white flowers - that is also the birthplace of Jingxian.
And all of this is condensed in a small world in the clouds.
The black water is dripping from it. Greed, madness, selfishness, hypocrisy, arrogance...
Heaven is invisible, binds all things, but also pays the price.
The world itself is a source of pollution.
Lu Yingjiu frowned.
He thought that the source of pollution was something specific that could be destroyed, but now it seems that it is impossible to eradicate at all. As long as everything exists, this corrosion will follow.
but……
Lu Yingjiu said, "Let's find a way to get rid of this rot tree."
"What about the pollution source?" Jing Xian asked, "If you let it go, the way of heaven will be corroded sooner or later."
"Don't worry about it," Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "Let it go on like this. Negative emotions cannot be dissipated, but someone will always stand up."
He continued: "I'm thinking that the corruption of the Tao of Heaven may not be accidental. It's just like people grow old, get sick and die, and plants thrive and decline. The Tao of Heaven is polluted and then rescued, which is also part of reincarnation."
"But we don't have to worry about the future, because there's no shortage of heroes in this world."
Where there are despicable people, there will be heroes. The interdependence of light and darkness is the true balance. Years later, when the Dao of Heaven has fallen again, this temple will welcome new visitors, who are as brave and powerful as they are.
They will overthrow the fallen and sweep the corruption with their loneliness and blood.
And then……
They also have hope for the future.
Lu Yingjiu said with a smile: "It's like a lamp passed down from generation to generation. We are not the ones who burn the fire, nor the ones that put it out. We just pass it on. But we all know that it will burn forever until The end of time."
"We're not unique heroes, and I'm grateful for that."
"...I understand." Jingxian nodded, "Then let's get started."
——It was said to be the beginning, but in fact neither of them knew what to do.
After all, no one has ever done anything about cleaning up the Dao of Heaven.
Lu Yingjiu said: "According to the formation, what we found is the 'pollution' of the Tao of Heaven. Therefore, we should destroy this tree. The Tao of Heaven may be damaged because of this, but it can be restored."
"How to destroy it?" Jingxian looked up, "Set fire to it?"
Lu Yingjiu also said blankly, "It should be."
Jingxian was silent for a while, then said, "What if it burns out?"
Lu Yingjiu was still at a loss: "I don't know."
Although the way of heaven is invisible, the law itself should not be hurt, but who knows? As the saying goes, there is a fire on the mountain in the afternoon, and the police station is said to set fire to the mountain and sit at the bottom of the prison. If they accidentally break something, it's a big problem.
However, they also have no other choice.
"Now I can only trust the formation," Lu Yingjiu took a deep breath. "Theoretically—I mean, theoretically, we can set fire to no problem. If there is a problem..."
"Then we will have a name for eternity." Jingxian said.
Lu Yingjiu: "That's called stinking for ten thousand years."
"One meaning." Jing Xian smiled, "You and I are accomplices, what's the difference? We will bear the honor and disgrace together."
Lu Yingjiu smiled and shook his head: "I've been with you for so long, I'm almost turning into a villain."
The villain Fufu raised his head tacitly and looked at the ancient tree.
There was a gust of wind, the leaves rustled, and those eyes turned frantically, realizing that the crisis was imminent.
It's just that their servants have long since died, and there is no way to resist.
The two no longer hesitated, one ignited a ghost fire, and the other drew a talisman.
The decayed place was unexpectedly flammable, and soon, the fire was raging, greedily licking the roots, branches, leaves...
The human figure perched on the tree flew up in a panic, hovering in the air, but was helpless.
This is a prosperous flame.
Trees 100 meters high cracked, eyes were swallowed, green leaves turned to fly ash, and even the dark cloud was outlined in red.
Lu Yingjiu and Jing Xian stood side by side, the bright red light fell into his eyes, and the heat wave lifted his sleeves.
The two were silent, watching the whole world burn.
I don't know how long later, the ancient tree turned into fly ash. With a slight wind, the ashes drifted away without a trace, leaving only a confused golden human figure flying in the air.
Lu Yingjiu whispered, "Let's go."
Jing Xian nodded.
Behind them, a beam of light from the sky appeared.
The golden figures danced around the beam, as if to imply something—that is, the passage for them to leave here.
everything is over.
However, just after the two walked a few steps, Lu Yingjiu heard a voice from behind:
【Lu Yingjiu, your time has come】
Lu Yingjiu was stunned for a moment and turned back suddenly!
I saw that the place where the old trees grew was empty, and the human figures descended and lined up on both sides of the road, bowing respectfully——
Like in ancient times, the subjects who welcomed the new king to the throne.
Jingxian couldn't hear the voice and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
In this light and flint, Lu Yingjiu understood their meaning:
Heaven is broken. They are looking forward to him being able to become the Dao of Heaven at this moment.
He is part of the way of heaven, of course he can do it...
That would be the closest thing to a god in the world.
The heights that can be reached are unattainable and unimaginable for humans and ghosts in this lifetime.
Now this opportunity is in front of him, within reach.
The huge voice came again:
【Lu Yingjiu, your time has come】
