Chapter 11 Chapter 10 Flying

However, after only a few tens of feet, the two deep scratches disappeared.The wind swept the sand and wiped away all traces on the desert. Su Guang stopped and sighed silently. However, Liuli behind him suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my god! Look!" Although the sun has not yet jumped out of the sea, the sky and the earth are already bright enough for her to see clearly everything that she hadn't seen clearly last night—is there still a "mountain" standing on the place where they risked their lives to fight last night?The sand layer covering it has all been shaken off, and the morning sun reflects the cold golden and iron light on the exposed surface, and the whole mountain is like a sword unsheathed——

What is dormant in this desert is an extremely huge machine beyond human imagination! Liuli gasped involuntarily: "This, this is..." "Garuda Garuda. Pojun's car, the most incredible weapon made by the Ice Race." Suguang continued, sighing softly, "After the great battle nine hundred years ago, Pojun was defeated by Mu Yujian. The holy seal. Garuda is guarding the master, dormant in this desert at the end of the western wilderness, waiting for the recovery of the broken army." "Recovery? Impossible?" Liuli couldn't believe it. "Why is it impossible?" Su Guang asked back.

"It's clearly all rumors!" Liuli scratched her head, "There are always people who come out and say that the Pojun is going to recover, that there is a catastrophe, and so on. It's very sensational—but, every time, nothing happens? Nine It's been a hundred years, if Po Jun was going to recover, he would have recovered a long time ago, so what are you waiting for?" "It's not a rumor." Su Guang replied indifferently, "It's just that the world doesn't know." Liu Li saw that he spoke cautiously, so she said: "Did you already know?"

Suguang smiled, looked up at Garuda Garuda in the morning light, a complex expression flashed in his eyes.However, he chose to remain silent, but Liuli still persisted in breaking the casserole and continued to ask: "It is said that the sword master not only stabbed the pentagram in Pojun's heart, but also restrained it with the power of 'protection' on the ring of Houtu God. The demonic nature in his body - such a double seal, even if Sea Emperor Sumo and Emperor Guanghua Zhen Lan are revived, who else can revive him?" Su Guang was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "To untie the bell, one needs to tie it."

"Huh?" Liuli didn't recover for a while, "Who?" "Mu Yan Sword Master." Su Guang whispered. "What?" Liuli was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Are you kidding me? The Sword Master has passed away for hundreds of years, and I don't know where he has reincarnated! How could she revive Po Jun?" Su Guang didn't answer, but just walked towards the huge "mountain".When Liuli thought that this strange merman would stop this conversation without warning, he looked up at Garuda, and suddenly said: "No, maybe it's not the sword master who will come to revive Pojun...but Po Jun is just waiting for her to come."

"Why?" Liuli was very surprised, "What is he going to do? Waiting for revenge?" "Revenge?" Suguang smiled wryly and shook his head, as if he didn't know where to start, "Do you know? Po Jun was abandoned by his clan when he was a child, and it was Mu Yu Sword Master who rescued him from a desperate situation , and later accepted him as a closed disciple, and taught him sword skills with all his heart—the scroll of characters you saw in the ancient tomb was also left by Po Jun in the past." "What?" Liuli exclaimed again, "Pojun is also a disciple of the Sword Saint? Isn't he, isn't he a Frozen End?"

"The reason is very complicated. Perhaps in Mu Yan's opinion, the hatred between ethnic groups is not that important?" Su Guang didn't want to explain too much, "In short, the fate between them is from Po Jun or an eight-year-old It began in childhood, and it is not finished until death comes." "Oh, I see." Liuli suddenly realized, "Is it the last sword master who killed his relatives righteously and cleaned up the family?" "Dayi kills relatives?" Suguang smiled wryly and shook his head, "In the last battle nine hundred years ago, Pojun did not resist, and even tried his best to restrain the demonic resistance in his body, allowing Mu Yu to seal himself."

"Ah?" Liuli was even more surprised, "Why?" "Why?" The morning wind was bitter, the dark night receded, and the bright glow was bright.In the light and shadow of the sky, the merman turned his head to look at the Garuda Garuda, and murmured—— "I was not born when you were born, but I am already old when I was born. "Hate not being born at the same time, be good to you every day. "I was not born when you were born, but I am already old when I was born. "we live far away from each other." These sentences were so familiar that Liuli couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then remembered that it was a poem in cursive script found in the ancient tomb of the Sword Saint on the Deserted Mountain - it was written in a man's handwriting, sharp and vertical, like a rainbow, However, she seemed to be smearing this lingering poem with all her heart, and the handwriting was messy and repeated, which made her puzzled when she saw it at the time.

Who would leave such a poem in the ancient tomb of the female sword saint? "Don't you understand?" Su Guang's voice suddenly became low, "That's because Po Jun loves his master deeply..." "What?!" At that moment, Liuli took a step back in shock, speechless. In an instant, the relief of "Sword Master and Demon" on the stone tablet in front of the ancient tomb came to mind like lightning - the young commander of the Ice Race on it had his heart pierced by a lightsaber, but his expression was still pale. Change.At the moment of being sealed, he just stared at the female swordsman in white, his gaze was so deep and complicated, like a night that could not see the end.

She had never thought about it before. However, as soon as he was pierced by this person at this moment, all kinds of turbulent emotions hidden in that frozen moment, those indescribable complex emotions suddenly emerged with incomparable clarity.After hundreds of years, it is still obvious. "Deep, deep love?" She stammered, "My... master?" "Are you surprised?" Suguang whispered, turning his head to look at her, "All this is completely different from what is recorded in the history books, isn't it? Po Jun is not a mad monster, and Juggernaut is not a goddess who does not eat fireworks. …Before they became legends, they were all just ordinary beings with their own grievances and hatreds."

"Don't talk nonsense! Aren't they masters and apprentices?" Liuli still couldn't believe it, "When Po Jun was only eight or nine years old, Mu Yu Sword Master had already lived for more than a hundred years!" "That's right, 'you were born before I was born, and you are old when I was born'," Suguang smiled softly, "'Time' is indeed a completely unequal thing for the two of them. This is the life of Po Jun sorry?" ——When he was rescued by her for the first time, Po Jun was a dying child.In the second meeting, he was a lonely boy who was exiled by his tribe, and he worshiped under her to learn art.But when he became the major general of Pojun and returned to the West Wilderness, it was the last time he saw her.During his growing up, she successively appeared in his life as a loving mother, mentor and woman whom he admired.But no matter how he changes his identity, she is always the most important person in every period of his life. "I think Pojun's deep love for the Sword Saint should not be inferior to that of Sea Emperor Sumo and Queen Baiying." Su Guang responded lightly, "It's a pity that they come from different ethnic groups. In the end, they will inevitably meet each other with blood. .” Everyone in Yunhuang knows the final outcome, because it has been recorded in the annals of history—in the final decisive battle between the two tribes, the sword master Mu Yu pierced his heart with his lightsaber, sealing the commander of the Ice tribe. That battle established the Guangming Dynasty in Kongsang, and directly established the situation of Yunhuang and Qihai today. "At the last moment, Po Jun didn't resist," Su Guang whispered, "At that time, he had the power of a God of Destruction, and he was already a demon who could destroy the world with one hand—but he restrained the demonic instinct in his body, Let the master seal himself." "What a lunatic." Liuli muttered, "What about his nation and country? Was he left behind like this?" "Of course it's not that simple. The destruction of a country won't just happen at the whim of one person." He smiled wryly. Army, it will collapse sooner or later." "This kind of argument is exactly the same as what is written in the history books." Liuli replied angrily, "It's really boring. I'd rather you say that the Cangliu Empire was ruined because of an indecent relationship between master and apprentice, which is more sensational." "Heh." Su Guang smiled. "Okay, let's continue talking about Po Jun..." Liu Li was afraid that he would stop talking, so she hurriedly said, "Why do you say that the only possibility to revive him is Sword Master Mu Yan?" "Because for hundreds of years, Po Jun has always had a wish to fulfill." He looked at Garuda Garuda, "They passed by each other in the previous life. In this life, he hopes to meet her perfectly in the cycle of reincarnation." — neither too early nor too late." "A perfect encounter?" Liuli didn't know why. "Yes. After her reincarnation, when she is in her best years, the sleeping Po Jun will start to summon her in the dark. She is stained with the blood from his heart, no matter where she is in the world, You can feel the call of fate.” Liuli listened in a daze for a long time, then suddenly started giggling. "What?" Su Guang frowned, a little displeased. "I think, are you making up a story? Everyone says that Pojun is a demon, how come he becomes a love saint when you say it out of your mouth?" Liuli looked at the Garuda Garuda, sneered, "It doesn't make sense! According to what you say, it has been almost nine hundred years now, and there have been more than a dozen reincarnations—could Pojun have not waited for her arrival?" "Yes." Su Guang replied lightly, "Because he can't wait." "Why?" Liuli was even more surprised. Su Guang didn't answer immediately, but slowly let go of his hand from the hilt, his eyes brightened for a moment.The morning sun was about to rise from the sea, and the rays of light diffracted from behind him. He turned around to look at the mountain, and suddenly said something in a low voice. "What?" Liuli thought she had heard wrong, and lost her voice, "What did you say?" "I said," Su Guang repeated word by word, "that's because for nine hundred years, Sword Master Mu Yan has not been able to reincarnate!" Liuli was taken aback: "Why?" "Because of us, because of the existence of the 'Life Wheel'." "Fate Wheel?" Liuli was puzzled, it was the second time she had heard the name, "What the hell is that?" "A code name for an assassination organization." Trace light indifferently, "It has existed for nine hundred years." "Assassination organization?" Liuli looked at this person in surprise, "Are you an assassin?... How many people have you killed?" "A lot. There are more than a dozen." Su Guang sighed, "Or, there is only one." "One?" "In the final analysis, there is only one person who is going to be killed by the life wheel." He looked at Garuda and whispered, "All the victims were killed for one reason: because those people may become someone's reincarnation. body." "Reincarnation?" Liuli was even more shocked, "Whose?" Su Guang's tone was dignified and stern, and he paused every word: "Kongsang female sword master, Mu Yan." Liuli jumped back in surprise, opened her mouth in disbelief, but couldn't make a sound.She stared blankly at the huge machine in the morning light, as if she was asleep, and suddenly realized. ——It turns out that everything is because of this? At that moment, she thought of the merman who was nailed to the golden throne, and the demon who had been waiting but never woke up.No wonder she waited until the blue silk fell into the sea like snow and tears, but she still couldn't wait for the moment she wanted to wait, and the young soldier who was sealed on the golden seat, with the power to destroy the world, slept lonely in the depths of the darkness for so many years, but always No one came to wake him up. ——It turned out that the person they were waiting for could never come again. "Star Lord can see fate and never make a mistake." Suguang shook his head and whispered softly, "When the life wheel starts to turn, a cinnabar mole will appear behind each clone that is inspired - that is Po Jun's heart before death. The imprint left by the blood of the devil. When the blood of the devil enters the brain, it is when the two stars 'You Huan' and 'Po Jun' coincide, and the reincarnated person will 'awaken'." "Awakening?" Liuli was surprised, "What is 'awakening'?" "Yes," Su Guang whispered, "At that time, that person will feel the call, come here involuntarily, enter Garuda, and have the power to awaken Pojun." Liuli understood, but couldn't believe it, "Is this the reason why you keep killing people?" "Yes. Before awakening, we must remove those who may awaken the Pojun!" Su Guang said faintly, "Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, gods block and kill gods, no matter who they are, no one will be left behind!" His tone was calm, but decisive. Liuli was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say—to prevent the awakening of the demons and protect the safety of the Yunhuang Continent.What a grand reason this sounds.For hundreds of years, these mysterious people with unique skills did not hesitate to run forever in the dark for this goal, and did not hesitate to stain their hands with blood. Liuli resisted the sound: "But those girls are innocent!" "Yeah, no one wants to." Su Guang stroked the pearl on the hilt of his sword with his fingers, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "However, in order to protect six innocent people and put the common people in a dangerous situation, doing so Is it right? Who dares to take such a risk? Or, who is qualified to bet on the lives of the people in the world?" "..." Liuli couldn't speak, and felt her mind keep churning. Yes, that is a rebellious proposition - human life is of course priceless, and innocent people cannot be sacrificed at will, this is the truth everyone knows.However, should one life be sacrificed for the sake of a thousand or ten thousand lives?Which is more important between the two?Who can make this decision, and who dares to make it? "In the legend, only God can make such a decision," Su Guang smiled wryly, "Every time such an irreconcilable conflict arises, the God of Creation and the God of Destruction will put their souls on both sides of the balance and directly Weighing - the heaviest wins, the lightest perishes... so simple." He laughed in a low voice, with a bitter smile: "It's a pity that we are human beings, yet we have to carry out God's calculations." Liuli listened, and her heart gradually became heavy. Yes, for nine hundred years, Po Jun has been waiting for the opportunity to awaken, and the Ice Tribe drifting in the West Sea is also looking forward to the return of the legendary commander—however, for Kongsang and Haiguo, that means a lot. The beginning of a catastrophe must not be allowed to come true.Therefore, the wheel of life has never stopped spinning, and the group of people are silently guarding, observing and chasing uninterruptedly in the cycle, eliminating everyone who may be the reincarnation of the female sword saint, leaving no one behind. ! ——The female sword saint who once saved the common people on the earth was sealed in fate by the people of later generations, and could never enter reincarnation again! She once gave up everything for the sake of the world, but after a hundred years, she was deprived of even the chance to return to this peaceful world because of her power. Didn't expect it when you made the oath? Just because he wanted to see her, she could never come back to this world. You were born before I was born, and I am old when I was born.If you go back in time, you will find that all the origins are nothing more than a little unwillingness. After thousands of years, the vicissitudes of life and the cycle of life and death have not been wiped out. The persistence of a single thought is as good as this! Is this her sorrow, his sorrow, or the sorrow of the common people in the world? While talking, the two of them, one at a time, have gradually come to the vicinity of Garuda Garuda. The sand has been shaken off, and the morning light reflects on this huge machine, refracting a dazzling golden light, like a phoenix bathed in fire - however, in the depths of this light, there is a deep sleep that can wake up and make you The demon who subverted the world! Liuli held the piece of mottled ancient jade on her chest, and stared blankly at the huge machine from a close distance.In this wilderness, the girl from the jungle saw the traces of fate for the first time—it turned out that the huge wheel never stopped turning in the dark, involving everything in the world in. "It's so strange," the girl looked at it carefully for a long time, then murmured in a low voice, and suddenly showed an incredulous expression, "This... this thing, I suddenly feel as if I've seen it somewhere before!" "Really?" Su Guang glanced at her in surprise, "Where is it?" "It's really familiar... Maybe it's in my hometown?" Liuli thought for a long time, "Yes! I seem to have seen a similar golden giant bird on the temple murals of Yunmeng City! It's an identical golden bird. the great bird, and fought the dragon in the clouds." "That must be the Garuda Garuda, the totem of the Yunfuyi Clan, who ate dragons in ancient legends." Trace Light faintly, "As far as I know, this machine built by the Ice Clan is indeed a copy of it." "Oh?" Liuli's expression changed slightly, thinking of something. "It's really like a dream..." After a moment of silence, she sighed, "Why have I never heard of what you said? Even in my hometown, I never heard it from my aunt. She knows everything and knows everything. People who don't know." "These were originally the biggest secrets on Yunhuang..." Suguang looked at the Jialan White Pagoda in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Everyone thinks that the legend of 'breaking the army and destroying the world' is just a rumor, but no one knows Where did the 900 years of peace in this continent come from—it was because of the wheel of life, because of the endless pursuit and killing, and the sacrifice of countless innocents!" At that moment, his usual trance and indifference were swept away, and his eyes suddenly pulled out their sheath like a sharp sword! Liuli looked at him, suddenly her heart trembled, and she took a step back. "What?" Suguang looked at her in the morning light. "You..." Liuli stuttered, "Why did you tell me this all of a sudden?" "Oh," Su Guang glanced at the sky, and that strange trance smile appeared in his eyes again, "Some things have been suppressed in my heart for so many years, and I feel too tired... I really want to find a safe place to talk about them .Anyway, you don’t have a chance to say it again, so just talk to the tree hole. Once you say it, forget it.” "No chance to say it?" Liuli backed away step by step unknowingly, like a hedgehog with thorns erected all over his body, stuttering, "You, you don't want to kill me, do you?" "Don't be so nervous," Su Guang shook his head, "I—" At this moment, far away, I suddenly heard a thunderous shout from behind: "Dragon!" The unexpected sound surprised both of them.The two couldn't help looking back together. In the morning light, they saw a white-clothed monk running quickly from the northwest, begging in one hand and holding a Zen staff in the other. . "Peacock?" Su Guang was a little surprised, "What are you doing here?" "Come, let's see if you're dead!" The monk ran to the eaves, panting, and replied angrily. "What?" Suguang saw his companion, suddenly understood, and pointed to Garuda in the distance, "Could it be that you felt all the abnormal signs of it last night, even in the deserted mountain?" "That's right! I came here overnight from the deserted mountain." The bald monk stomped his feet and said aloud. "Last night, the unjust souls were in a great commotion. When I was sitting in meditation, I heard the voice from the plain, It feels very bad, I thought you and Minghe both died..." Su Guang smiled slightly: "I'm still alive." The monk chuckled: "Hey, to be honest, if you are all unlucky and heroic, then I should go back to Zhongzhou as soon as possible. Otherwise, once Pojun really wakes up, the entire Yunhuang will become a Shura field again. Who can stop it?" what?" Just at this moment in the conversation, I suddenly heard someone screaming in a low voice: "Ah! You are—" "Who is this girl?" Peacock obviously doesn't remember this girl who once broke into the empty underground palace, and when she saw a stranger suddenly appearing here, her thick eyebrows frowned suddenly, "Why did you let an outsider come here? Where's Minghe? " "It's just an unintentional intruder." Su Guang explained for her, "It's nothing." "What do you mean 'nothing'! This is the plain of scorpion, where Garuda and Pojun are located! It's not a place to visit mountains and rivers!" Peacock's eyes fell on the girl, and suddenly he strode up, his right hand raised, as if Cut down like a knife. Liuli originally had a good impression of this monk who had met once, but she didn't expect him to be so murderous without blinking an eye.However, the opponent's speed was astonishingly fast, before she could get away, the knife landed on her shoulder!The close-fitting soft armor had been crushed by tracing the light yesterday, and the moment Peacock's hand touched it, the pain was so painful that the bones were about to shatter, she cried out in pain, but she couldn't break free at all. "Wait a minute!" Su Guang's expression changed, before he could draw his sword in time, he swung his elbow and blocked it abruptly. Peacock didn't expect that his companion would defend the intruder, so he couldn't stop for a while, and chopped off heavily with the knife in his hand.There was a bang, the yellow sand splashed, and the huge air currents collided with each other, and the sand and rocks suddenly flew within a radius of ten feet! Liuli screamed in shock and staggered back. A hand stretched out out of thin air in the dim yellow flying sand, and suddenly pulled her back. The sand quickly dispersed, and in the dawn light, the two men faced each other silently.The peacock puts his palms together, eyes like a knife, staring at his companion.Su Guang took a step back, a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, his eyes changed from trance to bright, like a sword drawn from its sheath.He quickly pulled Liuli behind him, and with a slash of the Pitian sword, he stopped his companion. "Dragon?" Peacock looked at his companion in surprise, "What the hell are you doing?" Suguang didn't answer, but waved to the stunned girl behind him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go!" Only then did Liuli come back to her senses, knowing that she had just fought back and forth on Huangquan Road, and she was lucky to come back with a life.She didn't care about anything anymore, and quickly raised her head and let out a whistle—however, the strange thing was that the pair of lovebirds who never left her side swooped down from the sky without responding. She was surprised and nervously glanced at Su Guang, but the other party did not look back at her, but just stared at the peacock closely, keeping his right hand on the hilt of his sword, as if he was afraid that his companion would make a sudden move when he was caught off guard. "Hey! For a little girl, you actually did something to your brother?" The monk rubbed his bald head, nagging and forced to come over, looking up and down, "What is the origin? Could it be that you have taken a fancy to her?" "Go!" Suguang crossed his arms to stop his companion, and urged again, "Quick!" Seeing the monk approaching fiercely, she no longer cared about summoning the lovebirds, jumped up from the ground, turned around and ran towards the maze wall—she ran very fast, like a frightened bird The little rabbit disappeared after a few ups and downs. "Peacock, let her go," Su Guang stopped in front of him all the time, and suddenly started coughing, "After all, ahem, she saved my life last night." "Saved your life?" Peacock was taken aback again, "Are you injured?" "Something happened." Seeing that Liuli had already run away, Suguang let go of Pitian's hand, and staggered towards Garuda Garuda: "Let's go there first and have a look." "Something happened?" Peacock was behind him, looking at this companion in amazement—the dragon's ability is second to none even among the life wheels of masters like clouds. For hundreds of years, he followed the instructions of the stars, Running and chasing in the dark fate, Pitian Sword has never lost a single time. However, this time, something almost killed him? "However, you were really angry just now..." Peacock muttered, "How many years haven't I seen you show that kind of look? If I insist on keeping that girl alive, I guess you really want to play with me Really?" Su Guang didn't answer, he glanced at his companion and walked forward. "After Ziyan died, I swore in my heart." After a long time, he suddenly whispered without turning his head, "From now on, anything I want to protect, unless I step on my dead body, No one wants to move again!" His tone was so cold that Peacock could not help but gasp. The two of them approached Garuda silently, the yellow sand under their feet became darker and darker until it was almost black in the end.Although at sunrise, stepping on this piece of sand still has a strange feeling, as if some demon is about to move under the sand - along the way, you can see countless half-melted corpses, the shape is horrific, and it seems to be pierced by something Brain, instant kill. The peacock held the rosary in one hand, while looking at his feet, slightly speechless. "The girl was able to get out of this situation last night and saved your life?" Peacock murmured, and couldn't help but show a worried expression, "What is her identity? Letting her go like this will not make you happy?" meeting……" "Don't worry," Su Guang said to his companion, "because she will soon forget all of this." "Forget all?" Peacock was surprised. Suguang nodded, standing on the high ground, looking at Liuli who had already run to the other side of the wall, a sigh appeared in his eyes: "Yeah, it's like a dream... After waking up, everything forget." The morning sun jumped up from the sea behind him, the long night finally passed, and a new day began, the entire cloud desolation woke up again, and everything glowed with new splendor. He ran to the maze wall in one breath, and it was the time of sunrise. The sun has just jumped out from behind the Muztag Snow Mountain in the east of Yunhuang, shining on the whole earth - overlooking from a high altitude, the desert is pale and majestic, the mirror lake is sparkling in the distance, and the white tower in the lake stands between the sky and the earth . Finally escaped from that strange guy?Liuli thought with relief, leaning against the wall panting, and looked back at Xuan Zhiyuan behind her. "What life wheel, broken army? It's so strange..." She murmured in a low voice, thinking about those strange words that the merman said at the end, "Is there really such a thing as the reincarnation of the sword master and the resurrection of the god of destruction? When I was in Carmilin, I never heard my aunt and sister Ruoyi say it... I really should ask about it when I go back." She raised her head to look at the high wall, and suddenly felt worried—A'Zhu and Hei'er had gone somewhere, and they didn't respond to their calls, it was a physical effort to climb over this high wall. Moreover, even if it is overturned, it might still fall into the hands of the soldiers waiting on the other side of the wall. While sighing, Liuli took out the long rope from the luggage, tied it firmly to the end of the golden arrow, and then opened the bow, aiming at the wall several feet high.No matter what, I still have to climb over the wall and go home, otherwise I won't go back on October 15th, and the copper palace will have to turn over. She squinted her eyes and looked up for a place where the arrow could be hooked. For some reason, she looked up and suddenly felt a little pain in her head, and her eyes couldn't concentrate. Suddenly, a flower bloomed in front of my eyes.A pair of black wings rose from behind the wall, blocking her view! "Hei'er!" She exclaimed in surprise. The pair of lovebirds returned from nowhere, flew over the maze wall and landed lightly, turned their heads and rubbed against her affectionately, whispering cooing—"Where did you go just now?" Liuli hit it with a backhand, muttering, " I was almost killed by you... I was really almost finished just now!" "What happened just now?" Suddenly, a voice asked her, "What happened?" "Ah?" She looked at the man in Tsing Yi sitting on Zhu Niao's back, startled, and lost her voice, "Father?" It was a man in his forties, his eyes were quiet and deep, his face had the characteristics of people from the Western Wilderness, his facial features were profound, half of his face was sharp, he looked handsome and vicissitudes of life - but the frightening thing was that the other half of his face lost all skin, It was as hideous and terrifying as if it had been licked by a tongue of fire.The sun was about to rise, and the desert was already getting a little hot. He took off the pure gold mask he usually wore, as if wanting to breathe, which made the destroyed face even more shocking. ——This person is the current owner of the Copper Palace, the patriarch of the Carlomon family: Kuangmo Wang Yage. However, the man called "Father" knelt down on one knee in front of his daughter, turned back and put his hands on his chest, made a strange gesture, and said respectfully: "I am late, I surprised the young master!" .” "Get up, I'm fine." The seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl accepted it calmly after being treated so generously by her father, she just tilted her head to look behind him and asked, "Is no one following? Be careful not to be seen Arrived." King Guangmo stood up and said respectfully: "Don't worry, young master, I will let all the subordinates wait outside." ——The Carlomon family was originally the leader of the treasure thief, with fearless blood flowing in his body, and Prince Jager's temper in the past was also famously rebellious, if those subordinates saw him treat a girl like this Be respectful, I'm afraid everyone will feel that they are hallucinating. "That's good, I'm your 'daughter' no matter what, don't be recognized by others." Liuli breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the two lovebirds, frowned and asked King Guangmo: "However, how did you get there?" Here? Shouldn’t you be in the Copper Palace?” "Young master, please don't blame me. Seeing that the day of the Sea Emperor Festival is approaching, Lord Zhenguo Murong Jun has already sent someone to the Tonggong Palace to welcome you," King Guangmo replied, "And the young master has not heard from you for several months, so I am very worried, so I have to Don’t go straight down from the Pameng Plateau to the Bogul Desert—it’s easy to see the traces of the lovebirds on the side of the wall, and then I know that the young master is nearby.” "It turns out that Azhu Ahei went to pick you up. No wonder..." Liuli frowned, a little unhappy, "You almost killed me just now!" "Is the young master in danger?" King Guangmo was a little nervous, "Could it be that he encountered a monster in the Plain of Xuan?" "Fortunately, I have the Heavenly Wing Ancient Jade, so I'm not afraid of any demons—" Liu Li sighed, and stroked the piece of ancient jade on his chest, "On the contrary, I met a group of strange people and almost had an accident. " "Could it be that the young master has entered the sacred mountain?" King Guangmo's face turned pale immediately, and he felt terrified, "I can't go to that place! The young master has been wandering around in Yunhuang for these years. If he went there, he would really be close to death. Something!——I swore to Ruoyi that I must ensure that the young master is safe and sound in Yunhuang." "Ruoyi Ruoyi, you know Ruoyi!" When Liuli heard him mentioning that again, she felt a headache, and the scene in front of her was a little blurred, and muttered, "Okay, okay, for sister Ruoyi's sake, I listen to what you say." "How dare I force the young master?" King Guangmo knelt on one knee, "It's just that the young master has a noble status, if something happens to Yunhuang, I will die." "I just want to see more places... You know how difficult it is for me to go out. If you don't go around much, you will regret it for the rest of your life when you reach the sky." , his eyes suddenly darkened: "However, after going out this trip, it might be even more sad to go back?" King Guangmo helped Liuli onto the bird's back, and his eyes changed after hearing the last sentence. She said she was running out of time? ——This seemingly heartless little girl turned out to be so clear in her heart. "Well, actually, I've been very happy in the past four years~ I've been to so many places and met so many people, and I'm better than other tribesmen in my life." Liuli raised her head, looked at the blue sky and smiled, "You know , When I was in Nanjiami Forest, I could only see the blue sky through the window lattice of the Temple of Tou... It was always just such a small piece of fragmented pieces. Only here did I know what the real sky and earth look like. " King Guangmo was a little surprised.For the first time, he discovered that this girl named "Daughter" had something in her eyes that he couldn't see to the bottom, and she didn't look like a child who was only seventeen or eighteen years old at all. How old is she?And what identity? ——Three years ago, he was seriously injured and dying. He was brought back to his hometown by Ruoyi, and came to the city where the hermits lived in the Nanjiamil Forest.That mysterious city is called the "City of Clouds and Dreams". It is located in the deepest part of the dense forest, and it is all built from a huge reed. The very top of the Babel tree.Legend has it that every once in a while, it will slowly move with the wind. The people in that city claimed to be the descendants of the Yunfuyi tribe left on the earth, and the three goddesses were enshrined in the temple. They were isolated from the world for many years, but they possessed an amazing civilization that surpassed the Yunhuang humans. He who was brought by Ruoyi was the first foreigner to come to this city through the dense forest in hundreds of years.His arrival aroused controversy among the clan. Some advocated saving his life, while others were deeply wary of allowing an outsider to enter and leave the city at will.After Ruoyi's begging, the female patriarch of the Yin tribe ordered the witch doctor to save the dying man with a strange white powder—however, as a price, he was entrusted with a strange mission. The patriarch of the Yin tribe opened the door of the temple and handed a young girl into his hands. It was a girl who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old. She was wearing a white feather coat and was covered with wreaths. She sat quietly on the shoulders of the huge statue of the Three Goddesses, resting her chin, looking at the sky outside the window boredly. ，手掌上停着两只正在歌唱的加陵频伽鸟——在第一眼看到那个孩子的瞬间，沙漠里来的王子心里猛地一震，有一种说不出来的敬畏和恐惧。 这个孩子的肩后，居然有着雪白的双翼！ 那，难道是传说中的云浮纯血翼族？ 看到有生人进来，那个少女万分欣喜，展翅从巨大的神像上飞落，在神殿里盘旋了几圈落到族长身侧，亲热地拉住了族长和若衣的手，叽叽喳喳的说话。然而，族长却是长时间地注视着这个孩子，什么话也没有说，忽地拿出一块古玉，挂在了她的脖子上。 在古玉套住脖子的瞬间，少女发出了一声惊呼，背后的双翅陡然间消失了。 “封住你的翅膀，是为了让你更好地在云荒生活。”隐族族长叹息。少女惊喜地叫了起来，显然已经在神庙里呆得腻味，族长转过头看着雅格皇子，提出要他带这个少女离开这片森林，去往云荒暂时居住一段时间，一直等到天上出现第一次月蚀的时候、再把她安全地带回来—— 如果他能做到这一点，那么，族长便同意破除千年来不与外族通婚的规矩，准许他迎娶若衣为妻。 为了报答救命之恩，也为了若衣的嘱托，他遵守约定从南迦密林里把这个神秘的孩子带出来，对外宣称是自己的私生女儿，呵护有加，百依百顺。他不知道这个孩子的真正身份，也恪守诺言从来不追问。而这个有着少女外表的隐族人也一直独来独往，不曾向任何人、甚至是名义上的父亲坦露过心声。 Who is she?为什么会住在神庙里？为什么又被送到了云荒？ ——这一切完全是个谜题，就如那个在南迦密林里随着青水迁徙不定的民族一样，令外面世界的人们无法琢磨。 唯一肯定的是，在云荒的四年里，这个来自密林的少女一直不曾长大，始终保持着他第一次在神庙里见到她的模样。除了肩后那一对被封印住的翅膀外，她与常人无异，只是有着旺盛的精力和好奇心，在短短的几年里，孤身走南闯北，几乎走遍了云荒东西南北。或许因为有着古玉的保护，她也一直没有遇到真正的危险。 然而，唯独这一次从狷之原回来，她的神色却有些异样。 “少主，你在狷之原到底碰到了什么？”他忧心忡忡。 “碰到了一群疯子，”琉璃忽地笑了，“听了很多梦呓一样的故事。”她没有再对广漠王详细说什么，只是拍了拍鸟儿的脖子，低呼：“阿朱，阿黑，我们走啦！” 比翼鸟噗拉拉飞起，一只驮着琉璃，一只驮着广漠王，双双越过了迷墙。 就在同一时刻，太阳跃出了碧海，初晨的日光从天幕洒落，笼罩在她身上。在那一瞬间，琉璃忽然间觉得一种奇特的恍惚从心底升起，眼前的一切开始模糊起来，隐隐约约中有什么在迅速地远去，宛如潮汐一样从她脑海里退远。 “少主？少主！”广漠王的声音从她背后传来，显得吃惊非常，“你……你怎么了？你的后背上忽然……” “我的后背？”她喃喃，反手摸了摸，“怎么了？难道翅膀长出来了？” 广漠王乘着黑鸟迅速赶上——初升的日光正好照在她的后背上，在琉璃的后心处，赫然浮现出了一个金色的手印！ “是咒术！”他飞过去，焦急地问，“你中了谁的咒术？” “我没事……只是忽然好困。”琉璃模糊地自语，眼皮止不住地往下掉，“这、这是怎么一回事？好奇怪，才大清早而已啊……我要睡过去了么……” 一语未毕，一种奇特的力量压了下来，不容抗拒地阖上了她的眼睛。 她失去了神智，手臂一软，再也抱不住朱鸟，从九天之上落下。朱鸟发出一声长啸，旁边一道黑色的闪电掠来，黑鸟迅速展开翅膀将跌落的少女托起。两只鸟比翼飞起，双双远去，飞向了帕孟高原。 广漠王抱着“女儿”，心急如焚地探着她的鼻息和脉搏——幸好，她只是睡去了。 少女在蓬松厚软的羽毛里沉睡，阳光洒满她的脸颊。 西荒在身后远去，一切都在远离，从她脑海里如退潮般消失，滔天的浊浪从四处扑过来，淹没了一切。在过去一日之内经历的所有人和事，都渐渐变成白茫茫的一片，再不能辨别。 十月十日，九公主琉璃被带回了卡洛蒙家族所在的铜宫。广漠王对慕容家前来迎接的人说女儿在外出时遭遇不测，受了轻伤，所以不得不乘坐马车前去叶城参加海皇祭。 广漠王一行，于十月十三日顺利抵达了叶城，入住早已安排好的秋水苑。 九公主很快恢复了生气，依旧活泼外向，对什么都充满了好奇。一切彷佛都非常顺利，和往年没有任何不同。然而，包括父亲在内，没有一个人知道琉璃到底在迷墙背后的狷之原上遭遇了什么—— 连她自己，也已经将其遗忘。 “别担心，她会全部忘记。”溯光望着碧空里远去的飞鸟，淡淡。 是的——在昨日翻入迷墙时，这个偶遇的少女脱口道破了辟天的来历，为了以防万一，在那时他便已经在她身上施了术。那个术法可以将一日之内的记忆洗得干干净净，不留任何痕迹，就好像从来不曾发生过一样。 迦楼罗，破军和剑圣，命轮和转生……当然，也包括他的存在。 这一切，在清晨第一缕日光照耀到她身上时，便如露水消失不留一丝记忆。他们两个，就如在茫茫的黑暗大海上偶遇的两片浮萍，乍然相遇，刹那间便又随着洪流各奔东西。 光阴无情，等到他下一次来到云荒，估计这个小丫头早已经是作古。 “原来你还留了这一手啊？”孔雀喃喃，望着那一对比翼鸟消失在天际，蹙眉，“不过这个丫头也不简单——居然能驾驭这种神鸟？” “是南迦密林里的隐族人。”溯光咳嗽了几声，“你以前其实应该见过。” “是么？不记得了。”孔雀挠了挠光头，有些尴尬。然而看到对方苍白的脸色，连忙上去一把扶住他：“你怎么了？刚才我就觉得不对劲——你是不是受伤了？否则怎么会连我那一下手刀都接不住？” 溯光摇了摇头：“小伤，没什么。” “到底怎么了？”孔雀越发觉得不对劲，“明鹤呢？怎么不见她？” “死了。”溯光低声，眼神恍惚而悲凉。 孔雀一怔，连阿弥陀佛都忘了念：“死了？” “如今是三百年一度的大劫之日，冰族一定会竭尽全力派人来唤醒破军，”溯光叹息，“昨天他们的人杀了守护者明鹤，闯入了迦楼罗，并举行了招魂的仪式——幸亏他们运气不好，没有发现我们设下的封印，反而从错误的甬道直接进了炼炉。” 孔雀脸色一变：“破军有没有被惊动？” “没有。实在是不幸中之大幸。”溯光摇头，“误闯入炼炉后，所有人的魂魄都被吸了进去——连带队的十巫之巫礼都不例外。” “那还好，”孔雀长长松了口气，“不过连巫礼都亲自来了，实在不简单啊。” “是。”溯光叹息，“而且，虽然这一行人失败了，但是他们护送上岸的'星槎圣女'却至今不知道下落——我担心迟早会出事。” “什么圣女？”孔雀皱起了浓眉。 “一个乘坐银舟从海上来的女人。明鹤临终说，那个女人才是这一行冰族人护送的对象，”溯光表情凝重，“只可惜在我到来时她已经不见了——我找了方圆数十里地，完全感觉不到她的气息。” “迷墙昨天崩裂过对吧？”孔雀蹙眉，“难道已经逃入云荒内陆去了？” “也有这个可能。”溯光沉吟，“奇怪，她是来做什么的？” 孔雀挠着光脑袋，也答不上来，念了一声阿弥陀佛，叹气：“破军和其追随者蛰伏了快九百年了，今年邪气尤其浓烈，我真担心我们会扛不住。” 溯光点头：“目下还剩下两个，我会尽快。” “我先留在这里。”孔雀合掌，“万一再有什么事，还可以压一压。” 然而，在他说话的短短间隙里，他脖子上那一串念珠剧烈地跳动着，忽然间凭空收紧，若不是溯光眼疾手快一把扯住，几乎就要将孔雀的脖子绞断！ “留下来？这可不是开玩笑。”溯光看着和尚捂着脖子喘气，不由蹙眉，“这些冤魂百年来原本就蠢蠢欲动，在空寂之山佛窟也罢了，一旦到了离魔那么近的地方，怨念会更加强烈吧？就算你法力高强，待在这种地方又能支持多久？” “阿弥陀佛，我不入地狱谁入地狱？”孔雀念了一声佛，“麒麟、凤凰和你各司其职，抽不开身，也只有我离这里近一些——不过你别担心，一有不对我会立刻开溜保命。你也知道我最擅长于此了，否则怎么能在命轮里活到如今呢？” 溯光苦笑，孔雀彷佛也想起了什么不快的经历，面色有些尴尬，打了个哈哈，拍了拍溯光的肩膀：“老弟，你可要抓紧点时间啊！如今六去其四，赶紧把剩下的两个给杀了，这一次的浩劫也就化解了，大家都可以再休息个六十年。” 溯光沉默了一下，只道：“剩下一个在叶城，身份有点特殊，但还算容易——最后一个却有点难。” ——六十年一轮回的分身名单是绝大的机密。一旦时间到来，星主从水镜里预测到了六分身此世的方位，便会传信给身处北海的龙。这一份名单，即便是在命轮组织里，除了执行者之外，连传信人凤凰都不曾知晓。 孔雀有点惊讶：“你都觉得棘手？难道那人是在九天上的云浮城里不成？” “如果在云浮城，好歹还算有个下落。”溯光摇了摇头，抬头看了看天，“问题就是剩下的那一个连星主都无法推知是谁，又身在何方。非常的棘手。” “什么？”孔雀脱口低呼，“星主也无法预言？” “是啊。”溯光叹息，“星主只列出了其中五个人的名字和身份。” “他娘的，那可麻烦了！”孔雀骂了一声粗话，“天上地下，让人怎么找啊？” 溯光也苦笑了一声：“我准备先去处理了在叶城的第五个，然后再去向星主请示一遍答案——如果那时候星主能给出明示就好，不然……我也只能在剩下的几个月里尽量找了。” “怎么找？除了背后的血之印记，还有什么方法可以确定转世分身？”孔雀冷笑，不屑一顾，“难道见到个年轻的女人就扑上去扒了人家衣服，看看她背后是不是有一颗会动的红痣？——就算你本领再大，哪能扒光全云荒女人的衣服？” 他说的粗俗，溯光苦笑了一声，“尽人事，听天命。” “得，不是我说泄气话，我看这次的大劫多半撑不过去。”孔雀挠了挠光头，旧话重提，“龙，一旦事情不妙，我们就各自分头跑路吧——你回你的北海，我去我的中州。他娘的，谁管它破军苏不苏醒云荒乱不乱呢！” “我答应过紫烟。会替她守着云荒，阻止破军的苏醒。”溯光的声音平静，“孔雀，你是佛教徒，应该也有慈悲心吧？救人一命胜造七级浮屠，救整个云荒又是多大的功业？” “切，老子要造那么多的浮屠干嘛？”孔雀却是不以为然，“慕湮剑圣是在八百九十九年前的五月二十日在古墓里去世的——如今是十月，还剩下六个月就是三百年整的大限了。龙，五个月内如果你不能搞定剩下的两个，那么我立刻走人。” “五个月只怕不够。”溯光低声，“我会在大限到来之前七天通知你。” “七天！那点时间怎么够跑路？”孔雀大怒，“为云荒那么拼命做什么？你明明是个海国人！” “我答应过紫烟。”溯光低声，抚摩着剑柄，“不能对她失信。” “你还真是对她念念不忘啊……其实一切都是命中注定，佛曰宿命。”彷佛也是想起了百年前在这里发生的一幕，孔雀炯炯的眼神也黯淡下去，沉默片刻，道，“好吧，那就十五天，一言为定。那之后如果你还不能得手，命轮里的大家最好都立刻撤离云荒。” “你们走，我会留下。”溯光低声重复。 “真是固执的家伙。你觉得能干得过破军？” “尽人事，听天命。”溯光声音淡漠，“我并不擅长跑路。” “……”孔雀彷佛被刺了一下，回头看着那片空地，对着死去的同伴气哼哼地道：“明鹤，别担心，估计我很快就会下来陪你了！——我都快被这个家伙气死了！” “哈，”溯光忍不住微微一笑，拱了拱手，“那这里拜托你了。” 一语毕，他瞬地从孔雀面前消失，快得如同一阵风。 “喂，你去哪儿？”孔雀看到他背道而驰，不由有点吃惊，“叶城在那头！” 溯光没有回答，奔到了狷之原尽头，从高高的石崖上跃起，如同一道白虹一般投入了那一片碧海中，没有激起一朵水花，如一条鱼般转瞬不见，消失在碧海深处。 “喔，我倒是忘了。鲛人么，与其徒步横穿博古尔沙漠，当然不如从海里走水路去叶城快，”孔雀抓了抓光头，自言自语，“只不过……那个劳什子'星槎圣女'，又在什么地方？” 他看着这个荒芜苍凉的原野，四顾喃喃。 巨大的迦楼罗金翅鸟静静地停在荒漠里，在日光下一动不动。 黑暗的密室里一片寂静，只能听到外面风砂一粒粒地打在金属上的簌簌声，以及被钉在金座上鲛人越来越微弱的呼唤：“快些……快些来啊。时间……已经不多了……” 有明珠接二连三地从眼角滑落，簌簌落地。 “我来了。”黑暗里，忽然有一个声音回答。 金座前的地面上忽然回旋起了一束奇特的微光，那是和下层炼炉对应的区域——低语中，一个女子从地面上无声无息地飘浮起来，站在了满是明珠的地上。她极其美丽，却有着一张苍白如冥灵的脸，眼神澄净而空洞，彷佛从极冰渊的雪。 她从炼炉里充斥了死亡的光芒里飞起，彷佛无形无质，悄然穿透了厚厚的合金地面，来到了密室内，轻声如鬼魅般地回答：“我来了。” 当她冰冷的手指接触到时，衰竭的潇陡然睁开了眼睛！ 九百年的禁锢和蛰伏，让鲛人碧色的眸子暗淡，然而在看到出现在自己面前的陌生女子时，里面却陡然掠过了一道光——那个女子一身白衣，站在金座前，缓缓除下了面纱，令她忽然间惊骇地睁大了眼睛。 是幻觉么？还是古墓里那个长眠的人又复活了？眼前出现的这个人，除了发色不同外，和九百年前的女剑圣居然有着几乎一模一样的容貌！ “你……”那一瞬，心里不知道是怎样复杂的情绪，潇喃喃，“终于来了？” “是啊，”那个女子轻声回答，“我是来唤醒破军的。” “破军？”听到那样的称呼，潇眼里的光只闪了一下便灭了。她长久地凝视着眼前这张苍白的容颜，忽地喃喃：“不……不是你。真正的慕湮剑圣，不会称呼主人为'破军'！——她应该叫他'焕儿'……这个世上，千秋万代，只有她一个人会那么叫他。” 鲛人守护者的声音陡然严厉起来：“所以，你不是她！你到底是谁？” “我是。”那个女子的声音却平静漠然，和眼眸一样毫无生气，彷佛一具被操纵的木偶。 “不是你！你不是慕湮剑圣！”潇陡然厉声叫了起来，“你这个空具躯壳的怪物，快从我主人身边滚开！” 随着她声音的拔高，金座上陡然盛放出刺眼的光，彷佛利剑一样刺向了那个闯入者——然而，那个女子根本没有退让，就这样站在那里，任凭光芒刺穿她单薄的身体。 光线消散后，她却安然无恙。 “你无法伤害我。因为我是慕湮剑圣的转世分身，在这里，破军的力量将保护我不受任何伤害。”看着潇震惊的眼神，那个女子却还是漠然地回答着，语调机械般没有起伏，“我已经等待了那么久……我生下来的唯一目的，便是来到这里，唤醒破军——谁也无法置疑我。谁也无法阻挡我。” “你……”潇震惊地看着她，半晌，才微弱地低语： “你到底……是个什么东西？” 是的，这个女子从下一层的炼炉里出来，居然能自如地穿越厚重的金属壁，而且能在那一道提炼人之魂魄的光芒里漂浮！——这个女子不是个活人，却也不是个死人。她身上有着奇特而诡异的气息，令人震惊不已。 然而，任凭潇内心猜测万千，那个女子彷佛幽灵一样地在暗室内回旋，声音漠然而平静：“我是星槎圣女，受命前来迎接破军的觉醒。” “受命前来？”潇喃喃，“谁之命？” “元老院。”星槎圣女回答，“整个沧流冰帝国。” “不……不可能！”潇脱口低呼，“不可能是你！” How could this be so?空桑女剑圣的转世之身，居然会在冰族？而且，在幽寰投射到破军上之前，不可能有一个分身会提前知道此生的宿命！这个冰族女人，又怎能洞彻自己的一生？ 是冰族元老院的力量么？还是沧流帝国的旨意？ “你或许会不承认我的身份：因为确切的说，我只是慕湮剑圣此生的'六分身'之一，”星槎圣女的声音平静而淡漠，“不过，不要紧——因为另外的几个分身，自然会有'命轮'的人来替我除去。到了最后，一直呆在破军身边的我，肯定会是唯一的那个入选者！” 听到她嘴里漠然吐出“命轮”两个字，那一瞬，潇陡然明白过来了：是的……又是一场争斗！ 九百年来，潜藏在大陆和平背后的，一直是两种势力不曾间歇的斗争：西海上的冰族日夜计划着唤醒破军，而另一个名为命轮的神秘组织则严密看护着这里，一次次的挫败对方的企图，令九百年里没有一个分身能够真正成功地觉醒。 而这一次，他们之间的争斗又达到了新的白热化。 昨夜，那些冰族军人用了如此大的代价，原来不仅仅只是为了把迦楼罗驱使回西海，更重要的是为了将这个女子送到这里！——因为冰族人在数百年的失败后终于明白，只有将他们控制的分身顺利地送到了迦楼罗的金座前，才能保证分身的绝对安全。 因为，无人能在破军面前伤害她一丝一毫！ “原来，这都是冰族人的计谋么？”她低声喃喃，语声悲哀，“为了重新获得我主人的力量，几百年来，他们真是不择手段阿……” “空桑人太强大，将我们逼入了绝境。如今一切希望都破灭了，唯有破军是我们的救星，”星槎圣女轻声，双手合拢面对破军的金座下跪，“他拥有无上的力量，将带领我们回归故土，重新夺回属于我们的大陆！” 被钉在金座上的潇默默地看着她的举动，忽地喃喃冷笑：“可笑啊……一个冒牌的转世之身，居然妄图唤醒破军？你们把我的主人当成什么了？你真的以为他会为你醒来，然后为冰族重新发起一场战争？” “你应该明白这不是笑话，”星槎圣女站起身，平静地回顾，“世上有一种力量连神魔都不可抗拒：就如你无法拒绝你的主人，破军也无法拒绝我一样。” “……”潇被这样的语气震住，半晌无语。 “一切在六十年前就已经被安排妥当：按照元老的命令，我将在这个最危险、也最安全的地方继续等待。到了明年五月二十日，在三百年大限到来的时候，慕湮剑圣就会在我身体内复苏——然后……”星槎圣女淡淡地说着，彷佛只是从空壳里机械地吐出早就被教导过的话，转过身去，望着金座另一边沉睡的军人，缓缓平举双手，一字一句
