Chapter 22: Nanming Leaves the Fire (6000, Second Update, More on Later)
Pine.
Eighty-two hundred and twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and seventy-one years of gods and demons.
In the same year as Ming Zhengde, he grew up in the same village.
Since childhood, he has shown extraordinary talents, and has been fighting with the Holy Emperor for decades, and finally became the founding father and the first meritorious minister.
But Cang Song knew very well that he was just a middle-aged person, at most a little smarter, not more.
It's just that Ming Zhengde is too prescient, and Ling is just a person who can successfully complete the tasks he assigned, and he is just outstanding.
As for cultivation, if it weren't for the huge resources of the New Dynasty, which allowed him to try again and again, he didn't even feel that he could break through the realm of real people at all, at most, he would have reached the peak of the Heavenly Order, and then wasted his life.
In order to catch up with his friends and live up to his ardent expectations, Cangsong repeatedly demanded himself and worked hard again and again, and finally barely managed to catch up with him.
Yes, it's hard.
But it is far from the hard work of Ming Zhengde.
Yes, Cangsong had thought about giving up, or simply returning to his hometown—the Holy Emperor's pace was too fast, the task was too urgent, and his demands were too high, so much so that it seemed that he looked forward to everyone as if they were saints, which was both touching and overwhelming.
But when he followed Ming Zhengde to fight in all directions, fought against many strong enemies, and put himself in a dangerous situation of almost ten deaths again and again, Cangsong realized that Ming Zhengde's requirements for anyone were never as strict as his own.
——How can anyone regard the rise and fall of the world and the sorrow and happiness of all the people as their own responsibility?
- How can anyone regard the fight against gods and demons and the change of heaven and earth as a matter of heaven?
In the Age of Gods and Demons for nearly a million years, there was no one else.
So.
- How can I help him?
- How can I not be a burden to him?
In the past, Cangsong had been meditating.
He knew that Ming Zhengde had many allies—whether it was a divine bird or an immortal god in the sky, they were all allies of the new dynasty in a sense.
But the purpose of the divine bird is to look forward to the arrival of the phoenix, lead them to conquer the gods and demons, and then return the clarity of heaven and earth, and restore the principle of the rotation of the five virtues. Ming Zhengde was one of their pre-selected targets, but he was not the only one.
And the purpose of the immortal gods is only to use the new dynasty as the source point to suppress the increasingly turbulent Nine Shadows. Ming Zhengde is an existence that they admire, but it is almost not very useful, and it has its own ideas.
Those who exist do not fulfill Ming Zhengde and his ideals.
"Jedi Tiantong, the world is peaceful and clear. Break the catastrophe of eternal life, and everyone in the world can be perfect. ”
Such a wish, even if it is ridiculous to think it is exaggerated, will anyone really believe that it can be fulfilled?
Impossible.
Even if it was him, he was just a fool, knowing that he couldn't do anything, and he followed Ming Zhengde towards a dead end...... Just let him go to the end.
However, candlelight is not the same.
Although it was only a few glances from afar, Cang Song felt a kind of purity from the very young candle day.
Even, it is a more pure flame than Ming Zhengde.
——The candle day is coming, and the omen of the revolution is also!
Folk have been singing such rumors, it is said that this is a sacred bird that will bring about change, but the fire in the abyss, the sound in silence, the silence of the noise, and the life in death.
His arrival was an unprecedented upheaval, and it was the first time for Cangsong to see Ming Zhengde so out of shape, and he was happy, worried, and contemplative for his arrival.
Even, after that meeting, it became distraught.
"It's okay, Cangsong, it's just that the Tao is different, in the ultimate goal, I am the same as Candlelight."
After his arrival, Cang Song noticed that Ming Zhengde's mood finally calmed down, and his demeanor returned to his original composure and majesty.
But Cang Song knew that his heart was indeed confused.
The Holy Emperor, who had never been confused and could persist all the way, began to worry—worried about whether he was right.
So.
Here he is.
Sacred Torisu Terrace, outer platform.
When there are no Divine Birds, the huge Sacred Bird Terrace will serve as one of the pillars of the Kyoto Great Array, providing spiritual power for the surrounding residents, and if the Divine Bird is settled, it will glow with different brilliance depending on the spiritual power attributes of the Divine Bird inside.
At this moment, under the blue-gold light, Su Day's face was a little strange.
"You mean, you want to know why I have a conflict with Ming Zhengde?"
The young man shook his head in a strange tone and said: "Actually, there is no contradiction, how to say, different people must have different ideas, seeking common ground while reserving differences-I will definitely do my best to abide by the contract and contribute to the common people in this world." ”
Ming Zhengde's confusion is actually because he himself is aware of some of his mistakes...... It wasn't necessarily wrong, but he certainly sensed a contradiction in his heart. ”
"Whether it is to persevere, go to the end, or eliminate contradictions, and go to the next level, it is the right path."
"On the contrary, it's you, Cangsong, your behavior of finding it in private like this is actually not very good for Ming Zhengde or me, that is, I don't care about these little things, but if it's other kings...... Be careful next time. ”
“…… I know. ”
For Su Day's advice, Cang Song sighed: "But I still want to personally confirm your thoughts, so that I can feel at ease when I work in the future...... Candle Day, although His Majesty himself behaved normally, you must be well aware that he has begun to be confused. ”
"Your Majesty is the center of the future Ying Tian Chengqi Five Virtues Great Array, and his safety is not only the safety of one person, but also the safety of hundreds of billions of people in the Central Continent of the New Dynasty - I can't help but worry, and come to ask you what is going on."
"With your help, our plans will definitely go more smoothly...... I'm sorry to disturb you this time. ”
Su Sun stared at the pine standing in front of him.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that this man was not just representing himself.
Behind Cang Song, on his side, there are thousands of people's wishes and souls who follow Ming Zhengde—they follow the future that Ming Zhengde has revealed to them, even if that future now seems bleak and there is no way forward, they will not hesitate to move forward, even if the end is likely to be shattered.
Yes, how can a person who can make up his mind to fight against gods and demons in this world not have the courage?
"Stop."
So, Su Yan said.
Then Cangsong stopped.
And when the new dynasty scholar turned back in confusion, he saw a pair of eyes with the mark of the gray mist gear.
His eyes flickered, and with a thought, Su Tian went back to hundreds of thousands of worlds and watched the imprint of Cangsong.
-- Reincarnation is spinning --
Su Sun saw many, many.
——The nearest follower, the farther support, the longer coordination, the common struggle before eternity.
Unlike ordinary reincarnation, each life of Cangsong is fragmented, and he can only see the halo of hazy chaos, but even so, Su Tian can see that how many lifetimes this Ming Zhengde has fought for, he has followed the collaborator of many lifetimes, and made up his mind again and again.
Although, with the increase in the number of rebirths, Ming Zhengde's stride speed became faster and faster, so that Cangsong, the general who was originally a right-hand man and fought together, gradually became Shang Shuling, who only needed to handle government affairs safely in the rear.
But the determination has never changed.
"I want to live and change the world. Cangsong, can you understand, can you help me? ”
“…… Yes? ”
The six-year-old child didn't know what the words of Fa Xiao, who was a prodigy or even a powerful reincarnation, meant, meant, and although he had already started to practice under the guidance of the other party and opened up his spiritual wisdom, it was still a little too difficult for a child to understand what it meant to 'change the world'.
There's nothing wrong with that, though.
"Okay!"
Because of course he will say this answer.
Every time.
Looking back, Su Sun's eyes flashed with a gray halo.
Until the end.
Thirty thousand years ago.
Su Yan saw that scene.
Gods and Demons, 830,000 years and 7 years, Zhengyang fought the Kun Demon Yu Dongxuan.
He saw the immature human emperor who was just fighting on the front line as a squad leader, and he also saw the tragic battlefield where there was no sky and blood and sand in the sky.
Of course, he also saw that he was saved by his best friend, and his face was shocked, and he flew out of the battle circle numbly, staring blankly at the scene where his best friend died.
I also heard the last words that Cang Song said.
"Zhengde, live."
That's the original obsession.
After 30,000 lifetimes, Ming Zhengde is no longer satisfied with just living by himself, what he hopes is that everyone, all those who accompany him, can live.
That's the perfect ending for him.
"I see."
As if it were just an illusion.
Cang Song felt as if he had seen some rotating mark from the eyes of the real person in front of him, but in the next moment, the mark was gone, and he could only hear a rather emotional voice: "Is this the case?" ”
It is almost impossible to directly spy from Ming Zhengde, not to mention that as the core of reincarnation for 30,000 lifetimes, the cause and effect of Ming Zhengde is huge, just because of its length of time and strength, Cangsong is far from imaginable.
But because of this, Su Day's peeping through Cangsong's reincarnation is much easier than spying on Ming Zhengde.
Facing Cang Song, who was suddenly called down and was a little confused, Su Sun couldn't help but sigh lightly: "You guy, I'm afraid you have more courage than Ming Zhengde." ”
- He knew that he might have another life, so he could choose the path, try and make mistakes, face tribulations, and finally be reborn again and again, and suffer again.
- Cangsong is different, he has not been reborn, and many times he knows that the front is a dead end that is bound to fail, and there is no possibility of death, but he still has no hesitation and continues to follow him only for a lifetime.
"What the hell is going on, Candle Day?"
Regarding Su Tian's sudden emotion, Cang Song was naturally a little inexplicable in his heart - what is more courageous than Zhengde, where did this come from? In the face of gods and demons, he just dared to die, but Ming Zhengde dared to live to bear the weight of sentient beings and fight against each other.
"Nothing."
Su Sun also laughed at this time: "I just want to tell you, there is no need to care too much about Ming Zhengde's mental health." ”
"On the contrary, you should pay attention to your own thoughts and your own safety."
He chuckled, but said to Cang Song in front of him in a solemn tone: "Because of you, you." It's his motivation, his anger. ”
"His obsession to change this world, the power to declare war on gods and demons."
"Originally, I was actually a little worried, what if Ming Zhengde drilled the horns of the bull himself? Don't worry now, as long as your 'friends' are there, he will never lose his way. ”
In the end, Cangsong still left with confusion.
However, he could hear Candlelight's assurance, and he could be considered to have achieved his goal.
"How is it, Su Day, what do you think of this Ming Zhengde?"
Looking at the back of Cang Song leaving, Su Sun heard Yala's inquiry: "Although he doesn't look like a perfect family, what he has done is the way of perfection." ”
“…… How to say, a person's life cannot lack doubts. ”
Watching Cang Song's back disappear into the shadows, Su Sun also turned his head, returned to the Divine Bird Habitat Platform, and continued to transform the Rotation Immortal Method with Sara.
In his heart, he earnestly answered the serpent spirit's inquiry: "For the innovation in my heart, doubt is the driving force to move forward. ”
"Only when there are doubts can we find problems, solve problems, and then make progress and innovate."
"If I lose my doubts and doubts, and start to pursue perfection on my own, it will be no different from death, and the way of perfection will give me this feeling...... But Ming Zhengde is not dead, he is still alive. He is an amazing person who can live so vigorously for 30,000 lifetimes. ”
"Haha, indeed."
This time, even Yara did not refute, he nodded rather happily: "This little fellow, who was lifeless before, is now confused, but he is a little cute. ”
"It's a pity that I don't know what Perfection is like now, otherwise I would really like to see his expression!"
"Who knows?"
In this regard, Su Sun just chuckled and shook his head: "We just need to do what we should do, the right thing...... That's it. ”
Time passes.
The first year of the new calendar, October 18, 7 a.m.
Middle Earth, New Dynasty Kyoto.
Sacred Torisuta.
When Sara was tired of returning to her personal space to fall asleep because she had practiced for two days in a row, Su Sun, who was running the prototype version of the 'Yin and Yang Rotation Immortal Method' in her body and cultivating a trace of the aura of the divine tree, suddenly opened her eyes.
He looked up and looked in the direction where the gate of the perch was located.
In the spiritual vision, the red sun is mighty, and the blazing clouds are filled, as if the sun is falling into the world, shining in all directions.
"Are you coming?" So thought of the youth.
Then, I heard an old voice, but there was no twilight, or even a full voice.
"When the world is a red bird, visit the phoenix and the sacred bird candle day."
"Please come in—no, I'm here to greet you."
Having said that, before the words landed, Su Sun had already come to the outside of the Divine Bird Habitat Platform.
Here, there was an old woman with gray hair and wrinkles, looking Su Sun up and down with a serious and attentive expression.
"You're really young, looking at this, full of vitality, I'm afraid you're not even a hundred years old, right?"
She said in a rather amazed tone, and even stretched out her hand and slapped her face with a wrinkled hand: "I thought that the Candle Day Divine Bird was so powerful, even if he was old and sad, His Majesty the Holy Emperor could be equal to each other, but I didn't expect it to be a young bird." ”
"The future is indeed for you young guys."
With such emotion, the old woman was dressed in a crimson robe, with a simple style, and only a bird pattern was painted on the cuffs and corners. The pupils of her eyes were orange-gold, radiating a faintly burning glow.
Needless to say, Su Sun could also know who the other party was.
That is the 'Divine Bird Vermilion Bird' in the mouth of the three Northridge masters, and in the mouth of Ming Zhengde, the Vermilion Bird predecessor who will recast the body of the Blade of Extinction for him.
The most powerful divine bird in this world, and one of the most powerful artisans!
In fact, it is true, although the other party is extremely old and does not show any breath, Su Tian can sense that there is a power like a corona explosion contained in the body of this old woman of the divine bird, which is a terrifying power that if it erupts, it is enough to destroy a small country, destroy hundreds of millions of lives, and create an eternal mark on the earth.
The pinnacle of real people - is only one step away from gods and demons.
"I've seen Suzaku seniors, but in my clan, I'm not a little bird at my age......"
Although he knew that this might be some kind of affectionate name among the Divine Bird clan, and Suzaku said that it should be regarded as some kind of intimacy, Su Sun was obviously not used to this name: "Just call me Candle Day, or Su Day." ”
"Haha, what's there to be ashamed of, youth is capital, envy can't be envied, the group of old birds I know, every day I wish others called them younger."
Waving her hand heroically and laughing, Suzaku smiled heartily, her personality was hearty and did not look like an old man, and waved her hand: "Since you don't want to, then I won't scream." ”
"As for the title, my name is Yan Chili, contemporary Vermilion, you can call me Suzaku or your name."
"I heard Ming Zhengde say, you are also a straightforward person, then let's not talk about it, today I will take you to the place where the leylines cast troops and make all the preparations for you."
"All the preparations?"
Hearing this, Su Tian couldn't help but be a little strange: "Blazing away from the seniors, what does this mean?" ”
"It's simple."
The old woman, who had already turned around and was about to turn into light, was still full of energy: "Your divine soldier is ready for everything, but it is almost a divine material that is extremely sublimated, and the soldier master condenses the 'inheritance Dao seal' into it - just like a good famous painting, the content is enough to be passed down for eternity, but the paper it carries is not, so our craftsmen can replace the carrying body for this famous painting, as long as you, the soldier master, stamped the seal, the advancement will be logical." ”
"The final seal, we and other craftsmen can't be coarse, you can only do it yourself."
"However, everything except stamping can be done today."
Su Sun still sounded a little unclear at first, so it was difficult to understand the adjectives of this craftsman.
However, it was only after he followed Suzaku to the depths of the Zhongji lineage in Zhongzhou, inside the Forge Pond in Kyoto, that he once again saw the three Kitaka Craftsmen and the young man of his Blade of Extinction.
The leyline furnace, scorching with flames, standing next to the river of leyline lava with thousands of degrees of heat, Su Sun and the three masters watched as Yan Chili stepped into it with the Blade of Annihilation, as well as the essence of Gengjin, Xiantiangang gold, and many other priceless and even invaluable rare divine materials.
The essence of the Dao soldier is to carry the inheritance of a certain god and demon or a powerhouse similar to a god and demon, and the strength surpasses that of the peak god soldier.
The Blade of Annihilation is a peak-level divine weapon, and if you want to surpass the limit, you only need to pile up enough strong materials and fuse them perfectly - then you can carry some kind of inheritance of Su Sun, and turn it into a Dao soldier whose strength surpasses that of ordinary peak real people, comparable to the descending of gods and demons!
The miracle of the Taoist soldiers, for the strong people who are in line with the way, can play a geometric role in resonance enhancement - just like the blue sky is the yang ruler, as a humane Taoist soldier, it makes the lord of humanity at that time, Nan Zhengkai, invincible, until he meets the real human emperor Ming Zhengde.
The most important thing is the 'Dao', and the rest is to allow the divine soldiers to carry and exert the power of this inheritance Dao.
"Today, I will use the Vermilion Bird Fire to lay the best canvas for your Extinction Blade - as long as you get the Hell Suppression Demon Iron later, and then use the 'Nanming Fire Separation Talisman' that I will give you later to fuse it with the Divine Sword and imprint your own Dao, there is a seventy percent chance of becoming a Dao soldier!"
Without using any means of defense, nor using any spiritual techniques, the old Suzaku stepped into the mighty river of golden-red leylines, and her voice was grandiose, echoing like thunder in the deepest part of the Kyoto Casting Pool: "
The flames encircled the entwined lady, docile as the most well-behaved cat and dog pet, and the old woman just smiled and bent her fingers, majestic and majestic, and the power of the earth's leyline torrent that surpassed that of ordinary peak real people was like a house cat that had been stroked by its chin, and let out a slight tremor.
She stretched out her hand and threw the Blade of Extinction and the divine materials surrounding her body above the river of leylines, and her tone was calm: "A Dao Soldier Divine Sword that slashes evil and suppresses evil, this is probably the last thing I can do for this life." ”
After finishing speaking, a circle of bright red light suddenly lit up around Yan Chili's body, and a golden-red light rose from the old woman's body, turning into a pillar of light, hooking the earth's leylines, and finally condensing into a scarlet flame above her head.
Boom.
The sound of a heartbeat came from the flames.
The dull power of the blazing flame vibrates.
Boom.
The shock sounded again.
With that scarlet flame, the terrifying fire spirit power continued to erupt, and even began to slowly deform, turning into a prototype of a divine bird with its wings folded, and the heat wave that radiated to the surroundings suddenly rose higher and higher, making the three Northridge masters also want to subconsciously retreat.
However, they did not retreat, but shouted in a rather tragic voice: "Congratulations to the Suzaku Patriarch!" ”
"Congratulations to the Suzaku Patriarch!"
"Congratulations to ......"
"No, wait!" Hearing this, Su Yan, who had been watching and waiting for the start of the casting, suddenly felt wrong, he loudly interrupted the words of the last Chu craftsman, and under the shocked gaze of the three masters, he said in the same shock: "Stop, why did you suddenly get to the point of desperateness?!" ”
"Suzaku senior, it's just a soldier, there's no need to ** the origin!"
When it came, the audience was silent.
Even Yan Qili, who had just brewed momentum, was stunned, and his eyes showed a look of confusion.
And Su Sun was ten times more confused than them.
Of course, he could see that the flames just now were going to use the forbidden secret method of 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration**' or 'Glass God Forbidden' to urge every bit of potential in his body to burst out with a power comparable to that of gods and demons.
But...... Why?
It's just a sword!
"No, what else?"
At this moment, Yan Chili was also a little incomprehensible: "Didn't Ming Zhengde tell you?" My longevity is coming to an end, if I don't break out with all my strength, after casting the army, it is very likely that I will not be able to leave you the 'Nanming Fire Talisman' to assist the Blade of Annihilation to fuse the Hell Demon Iron Ah. ”
And Su Yan's tone was even more incomprehensible: "Didn't Ming Zhengde tell you?" I hold the Divine Tree, and I only developed the relevant inheritance a few days ago, which can extend the life of real people by more than ten times! ”
When he landed, the entire casting platform fell silent again.
