——Feng Si!

Chu He seemed to have heard something suddenly, and suddenly looked back.

Behind him, however, the alien space was empty, and countless mirrors interlaced and reflected dark light.

Did you hear me wrong... Chu He turned his head, his gaze fell on the mirror in front of him, and the next second he was shocked to find that he did not know when there was another figure behind him.

The man has a familiar face, with a familiar smile, even the smallest eyebrows and eye corners are exactly the same as in the memory, as if they haven't changed a bit for thousands of years.

Chu He's eyes trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word when he opened his mouth, and it took a long time to barely make a surprised voice:

"Sakyamuni...?!"

Sakyamuni stepped forward and gently placed his hand on Chu He's shoulder.

——He is not a cold illusion in the mirror, but a real person, even the warmth of the palm of his hand is clearly felt through the cloth.

And the temperature was comparable to the hottest fire, burning every inch of nerves through the skin, and there was an unspeakable sensation in the sharp pain, which made Chu He's whole body shudder.

The amplitude of his shaking was so intense that he couldn't turn his head back with all his strength. He couldn't even make a slight deflection. He could only stare at the mirror not far away and the smiling Sakyamuni in the mirror. And weak self.

"Don't look back," Sakyamuni whispered in his ear.

"Why...you..."

Sakyamuni laughed and said, "Little Phoenix, you have grown up."

Chu He panted violently, and his nails pierced deeply into his palms until the blood oozes out, flowing vertically and horizontally on the palm lines.

"You still...have not changed at all, why..."

"Why I am here is not important. The important thing is, why are you still here." Sakyamuni smiled: "However, in such a long-lost moment of reunion, don’t use boring questions like'why' Come to waste time."

He paused, with the same gentle temptation in his tone as Chu He remembered when he was a boy:

"If you are with me, would you be willing to return to heaven, my dear...Little Phoenix?"

The hidden meaning in this sentence, it took a few seconds, little by little, like a tiny electric current crawling into the mind along the nerve endings.

——If time goes back and the years turn back, King Phoenix, who cried bitterly in the empty hall that year, would definitely think that he had received the greatest salvation in nine days and ten places; however, thousands of years have passed, the clouds drifting away, and things True, Chu He stared at himself pale in the mirror, unable to say a word.

"I...I won't believe you anymore, Sakyamuni..." After a while, his faint voice finally oozes out of the air like ice breaking.

"You have left too many doubts in my heart, anger and resentment have ruined me... Whether it is the things that happened on Mount Xumi after you return to the colorless heaven, or the heavenly law and justice against the four The change of evil ways, even if you ordered the later King of the Three Kings--"

"You hate coming to the third world," Sakyamuni said regretfully, "Sorry, I should have thought of it long ago."

Chu He swallowed, and the base of his tongue was slightly numb because of excessive tension.

"So, after these things, I can no longer trust you wholeheartedly as before...but I have tried my best to stay away from you to avoid causing any Buddhism, even Maha’s current affairs are hidden from everyone... …"

"...I did everything," he paused and gasped: "Except... there is no way to destroy his own life."

Sakyamuni raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Have you even tried this?"

"...Yes, many years ago."

Sakyamuni seemed very interested and asked: "So, suppose it is me who wants to take your life?"

They looked at each other in the mirror for a long time, and the space behind them was vast, silent and eternal.

Chu He looked ahead, tears falling from the bottom of his eyes.

He said: "I will resist."

·

Sajia seemed a little surprised, staring at Chu He for a long while, but the latter's beautiful eyes were clear and determined in the tears, and there was no room for wavering.

The unwavering determination is the same as when he worshiped from the ice and snow to the top of the mountain, as he pulled out twelve **** phoenix bones in the sea of ​​blood, as he stepped into the blood lotus from under the linden tree. Chi, did not hesitate to face the obscure, dangerous and unknown future, and walked forward step by step.

"You really have grown up..." Sakyamuni seemed to be a little emotional for some reason, and said, "But some aspects have not changed at all. Once you find a new path, even if there is **** and smelly water. , Will grit your teeth and walk to the end...So, am I too late?"

He stretched out his hand to the thousands of floating mirrors in the distant space, and with a single tap, countless strange images appeared on the mirrors.

——It is the beast roaring fiercely under the golden clock of heaven, with sword and axe added to its body, rather than kneeling; it is a demon that is not universal in the sea of ​​blood, and all living beings convert and only stand upright; it is against the background of the dark sky , The man walking from the cracked and smoking ground, kneeling on one knee on the battlefield, said in a hoarse voice with blood: "I'll propose to you..."

In a place farther away, the mirror reflects the warm white light, everyone is together, everyone is happy and complete, there is neither cold loneliness nor sad watch.

"Is this your current belief?" Sakyamuni leaned in his ear and asked softly, "Is this the love you finally recognize now?"

Phoenix closed his eyes, tears streaming down his pale and transparent face, turning into thousands of tiny flashes in the void.

"You dare not admit it." Sakyamuni laughed, seemingly very interesting: "——You dare not."

He raised his hand on Phoenix's shoulder and pulled down his shirt.

The neck to the collarbone, the slightly convex bones of the shoulders to the large areas of skin behind them are all exposed to the air, and there is a breathtaking shimmer in the darkness. It looks so cold and jade-like texture, but it has unimaginable warmth, delicacy and softness when touched, just like the owner of this beautiful body, the fragile heart under the heavy envelope.

"Then, the little phoenix who dared to pluck up the courage to express his love to me..."

Sakyamuni released his hand, half of his white robe fell to the ground:

"...still here?"

He lifted up the long hair of the phoenix and leaned over to make a kiss on the bare shoulder.

Chu He tried to push him away with his backhand, but his fingers trembled fiercely, without any strength, he was easily grasped by the Sakyamuni in his palm, his fingers interlocked, lingering and afflicted.

"Remember the thousand years of kneeling under the Bodhi tree? The heaven is forbidden, and the two trees of Suura, why did you choose it there?"

"If I don't see you, will you kneel for tens of thousands of years until you die?"

Chu He couldn't answer, his lips opened slightly, trembling uncontrollably.

Sakyamuni laughed and stretched out his hand from behind to block his scattered eyes without focus, feeling the moist eyelashes in his palm, fluttering like the last butterfly lingering in the wind and snow.

"Kneeling for a thousand years..." He gently kissed the soft and cold lips, and asked with a chuckle: "...under the Bodhi tree, what did you think about?"

"..."

"Are they all related to me?"

"..."

Lips and tongues entangled and breathed, and the whimper in the throat was blocked back with gentleness and could not refuse. It sounded like some kind of secret cry. For a long while, Sakyamuni grabbed Chu He’s chin and turned his head slightly, and said softly: "Answer me."

They just looked at each other like this, the countless mirrors in the dark and vast alien space glowed with cold light, the world disappeared, and the eternal silence, the world seemed to be only two of them, and all the past disappeared and disappeared in thousands of years.

"...That was a long time ago..." Chu He finally said hoarsely after a long time, and every word contained tearing blood.

"I already...don't remember..."

Sakyamuni gave a slight pause.

In the next instant, Chu He realized everything in his hands, and he turned around and swept away, smashing countless mirrors in the violent shock!

——Boom!

Hundreds of millions of fragments flew and shone, like bursting stardust, the howling ocean tide swept all the vast space in an instant. The figure of Sakyamuni was instantly rushed out of a kilometer away, and then returned to Chu He in the next second, his figure soaring as a fierce bird about to shoot its prey——

The energy wave melted the last trace of his disguise, and the face of King Jiang III was revealed!

He stared at Chu He condescendingly, and smiled slightly: "——I haven't seen you for many years, don't come here without problems, Your Royal Highness?"

After that, he kicked his chest and kicked Chu He out!

There was a series of loud noises, Chu He flew out and smashed through the huge mirror. His momentum didn't slow down, he directly collided with seven or eight mirrors, and was immediately pinched by King Jiang III who followed him. Throat, "Bang!" It was firmly nailed to the top of the smooth giant mirror!

"How did you recognize me?"

"..." Chu He gasped and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then said hoarsely: "I didn't recognize it."

——His calm voice has not changed at all, but the meaning behind this sentence is so clear that King Jiang III suddenly felt a little absurd: "What did you say?"

"I didn't recognize you, it's just a coincidence." Chu He's throat was pinched by hands like iron tongs, and his voice sounded very weird. It turned out to be a bit like a slight mockery: "But I recognize it now."

King III stared at his face that was exactly the same as he remembered, and finally saw that it was not a lie.

It's not because of his natural voice and real expression, but because of his disdain—too lazy to cover up his disdain with lies.

He finally let go and took two steps back. Chu He fell off the smooth mirror surface, staggering a few steps when touching the ground, barely standing still, and choking blood from his lungs.

"Your style is really unchanging and direct...but there is no need to look at me with such disgusting eyes. I only came over to see you after I withdrew from the law." King Jiang III looked condescendingly. He curled up and coughed, laughed and asked: "Is it because you caused too much psychological shadow last time? So that you can hardly forget it now?..."

"You think too much," Chu He wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, and straightened up while pulling up the shirt.

"Oh? Then you are not surprised to see me?"

"My surprise is that you dare to blaspheme the incarnation of Buddha."

Unexpectedly, King Ming, the third generation, did not move or refute, and he said leisurely after a long while: "Do you think I am blaspheming the Buddha... No way. I just treated you like Sakyamuni many years ago." , Look, you didn’t even find any flaws, it means that you actually know that--"

Chu He turned around with a punch, but his wrist was held in the air between the lightning and the fire, and then with a "bang!", King Ming III pushed him onto the cracked mirror behind him, and the fragments suddenly fell to the ground. !

Chu He said sharply: "Are you sick?!"

"Perhaps," King Jiang III gave a weird smile: "But it doesn't matter, you don't know yet, do you? I'm already enchanted..."

Chu He's first reaction was ridiculous, but he didn't really laugh, because then King Ming, the third king, reached out and unlocked his cuff.

——The position of his arm resting on the elbow, the black magic pattern on the muscles formed the symbol of the Ashura Taoist mantra, it turned out to be a sign of being enchanted!

Chu He stared straight at the black magic pattern, his face was rarely blank because of his extreme astonishment.

"Before it became a mark, it was originally a wound...Yes, the wound on my body, one of the five tantric kings. You don’t know? Why didn’t anyone approach you on Mount Xumi back then? People talk to you, and even afterwards everyone looks at you with disgust and fear, whispering behind you in the corner..."

Jiang Ming Wang approached Chu River, his tone was almost malicious:

"Do you think it is because you were born ominous and bear the cause of the most evil aspect? No, it is not like this."

"You have been cursed from the first day you came to Mount Xumi. Except for certain people, anyone close to you will encounter bad luck and accidents, and some people will even fall into the 33rd Heaven, fall into the six realms and suffer from reincarnation... and the wound on my body is the one that suddenly appeared on my arm after the day when you vowed to cross the blood sea..."

Chu He's ears buzzed, and he couldn't hear what King Jiang III was talking about, and even forgot to break free from his gripped hand.

"...In the long run, over time, people who originally wanted to get close to you regard you as an ominous sign, and in this alienated and indifferent environment, you can only get closer and closer to certain people..."

"Do you understand, His Royal Highness King Phoenix?"

"You can continue to be so defiant and stubborn with sad hope. You will never know the **** truths and rotten secrets, and you will always stay in the illusion that others have meticulously drawn for you... "

"Enough!" Chu He roared, and suddenly slammed King Jiang III away!

Jiang III was caught off guard, and after a few steps back, I saw Chu He stepped on countless broken glass in the void and strode away.

His robe sleeves and hem were swayed back with the wind brought by his steps. From this angle, his sideburns blocked his cheeks, and he couldn't see the expression on his face. However, King Jiang III suddenly remembered a similar scene many years ago. The phoenix cut his long hair under the two trees of Sulu, and got up and walked towards the sea of ​​blood. At that time, the boy's back was so straight, as if all the difficulties and dangers in the future could be smoothed, no matter Destiny showed a grinning smile ahead.

If the innocent courage had been smoothed out by tens of thousands of years, what now gave him a stronger and more complete faith?

"——Do you want to find Zhou Hui?" King Jiang III sneered and said: "It's too late, this round is to kill him. Now outside the Thousand Degrees Mirror Realm, there are deadly everywhere. The sea of ​​death—"

Chu He paused, his complexion changed drastically.

"In the sea of ​​death, everything corrodes and the flesh and blood melt, and the minions and flesh of the monsters are turned into foam, and they will never turn over when they fall into the sea of ​​blood." The King of the Fallen III reached out to the distance, and the images were reflected on the countless broken mirrors suspended. At the same time, the angry roar of Warcraft shook the world!

"Or we can make a bet on how long this monster can last in a sea of ​​death..."

A sneer of sarcasm appeared on the face of King Jiang III: "Since he was born in a sea of ​​blood but represents the way of heaven, then you can come and see - this time, the sea of ​​blood or heaven, who else can save him? "
