One week later, Beijing.
Zhou Hui was sitting in the ward, his upper body looked very strong in the morning light, but his muscles were covered with various large and small scars.
Some of those wounds have almost healed, and some are still fierce and cracked in the air, and the bright red muscles and blood vessels under the skin can be clearly seen. However, he didn't care, he didn't seem to feel the pain at all, he just looked at his open palms quietly.
There is a jade egg on it.
The door of the ward was pushed open, Yu Jingzhong walked in, gently placed the cigarette case in his hand on the bedside table, "Lao Zhou."
Zhou Hui raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with undisguised haze: "Is it done?"
"Well, Wu Bei, Shen Wan, and Jiuweihu have all returned from City H. Long Jiu is responsible for the local aftermath. At present, both the capital defense circle and the Qiankun formation are temporarily handled by Situ Yingzhi. Yan Lanyu can help. Busy."
Zhou Hui nodded without saying a word, Yu Jingzhong wanted to speak again, and after a moment he said: "Lao Zhou."
"What?"
"...what do you plan to do...?"
Yu Jingzhong finally asked this question, and suddenly felt a complex and relaxed feeling. However, the next moment he saw Zhou Hui's haggard and humiliating face, a heavier worry was silently pressing on his heart.
"Me?" Zhou Hui said coldly, "Do you think I can return to the sixth group in this state?"
"I didn't mean that, but you were so stuffy in the ward all day..."
"What's the problem?"
Yu Jingzhong choked for a while, almost speechless, and after a daze, he had to pull out the cigarette case and smoke. Who knows that he just took out the lighter, Zhou Hui immediately stopped, pointing to the egg in his hand: "——The Phoenix is here!"
"..." Yu Jingzhong angrily stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case, "I heard that it will take many years to hatch, right?"
Zhou Hui did not answer.
"Lao Zhou, do you plan to live like this hundreds of years ago? I was bored alone, and I found a corner to hide and hatch the eggs. If the egg does not hatch, you will die? What if the egg hatches? If the Phoenix doesn’t recognize you? You have to find something for yourself to do, you have to change your mood, and find the meaning of life. Although your life is longer than human beings..."
"Do you want to be beaten?" Zhou Hui interrupted.
"No, no, I'm doing this for your own good." Yu Jingzhong is polite: "Because your life is still very long, you have to find a hope for yourself so that you can continue to move forward in the years to come. Look at you and two children, both born to you and Phoenix..."
Zhou Hui slapped on the bedside table, and the cabinet collapsed.
Yu Jingzhong stopped talking immediately.
There was a moment of silence in the ward, and Zhou Hui finally dulled: "I want to go for a walk."
Yu Jingzhong was always ready to grab the door, but when he heard this, his feet were ready to go, and he asked: "Where to go?"
"Hell, Huihe, Buzhou Mountain, the glazed sky and thousands of miles of city walls, the glacier temple of Mount Xume, and the ruins where the King Kong Bell was shattered. Although there are many places to go, there is more time, and there may be nowhere to go in the end , I'm back to the human world."
Zhou Hui laughed mockingly and said: "Don't worry about breaking the connection. I will come back every ten or eight years. You will be old after a few ten or eight years. If you die Now, I’ll get you from hell. I’m not sure I can still have a glass of wine below and find a rich family to give you a good baby."
Yu Jingzhong stared at him for a long while, "...thank you so much."
"A group of things," Zhou Hui continued, "It can be handed over to Garuda. This kid is stupid and eats less, he is born to be abused, and in terms of personality, there are some good points, and Phoenix is very similar..."
He paused and sighed.
"I don’t know when the phoenix fetus will be hatched. One year will be a year. I used to live with the phoenix for thousands of years in the virtual world other than the six realms. It was really nothing but darkness In this place, the family is also very happy, as if time flies away without knowing it. It was never like this at that time. When I think of the future, I feel that the years are too long..."
Yu Jingzhong was very uncomfortable when he listened. He wanted to persuade but didn't know what to say. He only felt that the base of his tongue was bitter and his nose was sour.
However, there was no pain or despair on Zhou Hui's face. He stroked the small egg in his hand, and sighed silently for a long time.
The aftermath of that breath seemed to carry something very heavy, and there was no trace at all, and it disappeared into the quiet air of the ward like a light smoke.
Yu Jingzhong finally took out a cigarette in his mouth, but did not light it, walked over and patted Zhou Hui on the shoulder.
"When are you leaving, talk to my buddies and see you and Feng Si off."
Zhou Hui smiled and said nothing.
The morning outside is bright and beautiful, and the cinnamon is fragrant, but this handsome man sits in the ward as if isolated from the world.
In his closed world, only him and the ignorant egg, as well as countless unforgettable, wonderful, and passing memories, whizzed and receded from the air like a tide.
·
No one dared to bother Zhou Hui during the first few days of hospitalization. After Yu Jingzhong opened his head, Yan Lanyu, Wu Bei, Situ Yingzhi, and Shenwan Tiansi all went there one after another.
The first few were okay. When he got to God's End, Zhou Hui probably remembered that he was picked up by a phoenix when he was a baby and raised for a few days. He touched his head and said nothing. : "In the future, if you have something over there, ask Garuda for help, you know?"
Shen Wan nodded very obediently, and from time to time his gaze floated towards the phoenix egg that never left Zhou Hui's hand, "Then...Do you often come back?"
"Let's talk about it."
"..." God finished blinking his eyes: "Oh."
He seems to be very uncomfortable, but Wu Bei and Situ Yingzhi should have been killed beforehand, so they tried to hide it. That emotion was actually invisible in Zhou Hui's eyes. The two were relatively silent for a while before Zhou Hui patted his head, seeming a little emotional:
"I'm such a big kid now, in a blink of an eye..."
·
Although everyone told Zhou Hui that he must say hello before leaving, no one said anything on the day Zhou Hui left the human world.
He left the hospital in the middle of the night, walked through the neon-lit sky and quiet and cold suburbs of the capital, slowly walked into the void, and walked towards the unobvious Human Boundary Monument standing on the distant horizon.
"Hey," said a voice behind him.
Zhou Hui paused.
"It's not your style to say goodbye without saying goodbye. If you don't have that kind of temperament, don't cosine the little freshness. Go back and stay in the courtyard for a few days?"
"Hu Qing." Zhou Hui turned around and said, "I have always had a question. Since we may not see each other in ten or eight years, can you give me a chance..." /
Behind him, Li Hu wore her almost iconic scarlet tight skirt in recent years. She had long hair and all kinds of amorous feelings. Standing under the vast star river, Li Hu's curly white fingers brushed her lips charmingly.
"We really never slept," she said with a smile.
Zhou Hui said: "It's not that."
"Phoenix...I have handed it over, no private possession."
"Not that."
"...I was not willing to work with you in the human world for Yu Jingzhong, although I did come here early, I was almost beaten up by a female ghost, and then I felt a little embarrassed and didn't say..." /
"I know," Zhou Hui said, "Lao Yu told me."
Li Hu tilted his head and was a little puzzled: "What do you want to know? I am a person who is willing to report to Phoenix even after the appointment of the gun. There should be no secrets, right?"
Zhou Hui looked at her up and down for a long while, staring at the career line in front of her chest that she wanted to be deeper than the Mariana Trench for a moment, and finally asked:
"You are a male fox, and you are more suitable for men. In the past two years, is it because Zhang Shun is more likely to approach women in women's clothing?"
Li Hu stared at Zhou Hui, without speaking for a long time, his body suddenly changed for a long time, and he became a teenager with broken hair and nine white tails.
"I changed my mind. It's better for you to get out of the way." He said blankly: "Debt, dear, why would Phoenix rather find you than sleep with me?"
Zhou Hui laughed and turned around and waved to him, the phoenix egg clenched in his palm flicked a brilliant soft light in the night breeze.
He walked towards the distant Human Boundary Monument, and disappeared at the end of the night under the complicated gaze of Nine Tailed Fox.

After Sakyamuni disappeared as a false Buddha, the righteous Buddha returned to his place, and the colorless sky rose up and called the Buddha's decree to stop fighting and nourish the rest on Mount Xumi. The four evil ways finally lasted for thousands of years in the heavens without stopping. Take a breath during the expedition.
The Ashura tribe suffered heavy losses and is no longer the only overlord who rules the four evil realms.
In the **** with a wide variety of creatures and rich mineral resources, Asura’s control continued to weaken, and the monsters in many places broke away from their control. After regaining their freedom, they immediately returned to the Buzhou Mountain and the Blood Sea area, and the place was once withered. The dilapidated scene quickly became vigorous.
Liu Li Tian, the lowest level of the thirty-three heavens and the nearest to hell, was once dead because of the battle between gods and demons that lasted for thousands of years, and now finally restored the peace and harmony unique to heaven. The sky tiled blue city wall was towering, Zhou Hui climbed up the winding white jade steps, pointed to the indistinct tower in the distance, and smiled: "This is the place where I first proposed marriage, Phoenix, at that time you almost took me One arrow shot to death, how dangerous you say."
The white jade egg lies quietly in his warm palm, glowing with layers of soft light.
Zhou Hui stood for a while and continued to walk up.
On the soles of his feet, the battlefield for thousands of years was desolate and silent, and the wind passed slowly, sending out a long and sorrowful sound like a trance and sadness when a distant horse charged.
Zhou Hui walked through the 33rd heaven layer by layer, until the ancient ice field under Mount Xumi, swan feathers and heavy snow roared away in the strong wind. He covered his eyes with his hand and caught a glimpse of the towering and unclear Mount Xumi at the end of the wind and snow, and muttered: "Is this the place to make a big wish?"
He looked at the egg, as if he wanted to see the little phoenix chick lying still inside through the shell.
"Knock your head one step at a time until you reach the Buddha Hall on the top of the mountain. The wish you have made is full of gods and Buddhas..." Zhou Hui took the egg back into his pocket and said to himself: "Cut, what's the use of hearing, my wife is Taikoo" Divine birds are not controlled by those gods and Buddhas."
In spite of that, he took a step, knelt down and knocked his head in a perfunctory manner, got up and took another step, then knelt down and knocked down.
The various fatal injuries he suffered during the battle with Sakyamuni were not complete. Although his daily actions have not been affected, the long journey is still very hard. Zhou Hui walked for a while, stopped for a while, escaped from the limelight behind the towering rocks on the glacier, and then moved on; he crossed the foot of the mountain, ascended the mountainside, over the steep and huge ice cliff, towards the top of the Xuebao Mountain at the top of Mount Xumi. Marching, winding steps all the way, as if he was the last traveler left in the vast world.
Zhou Hui finally crossed the ice field, kowtowing all the way to the front of the temple, stood up and patted the snow on his shoulders, chest, and legs. The monks on Mount Xumi knew that he was coming, and they couldn’t escape each other. They just didn’t know. Therefore, there was no one in front of the cigarette-curled Buddha hall; only Zhou Hui stood there, looking at the deepest pure gold Buddha through the gate. moment.
"You made a wish here last time?" he asked Phoenix.
The egg is in his chest pocket, and there is no movement at all.
Zhou Hui shook his head and smiled, but did not make a wish. Under the gaze of the Eighteen Vajra and the golden statues of Bodhisattvas, Gods and Buddhas, he turned around and continued to kowtow one step at a time, but he walked towards a higher place, the Phoenix Temple on the top of Xuebao Mountain.
"I don't ask gods or Buddhas, only you."
Zhou Hui's forehead touched the snow, leaving a deep mark. The shrine in front of him was majestic, straight into the sky; behind him a string of long footprints led to the distant glacier, which was gradually buried in the wind and snow.
"My dear Phoenix, even while I am dying, please let me see you one last time."
"At the last moment when I disappeared, I can see that you were born in the world."
