Chapter 183: Do, Say, Think
(Thank you to readers for the red tips of "Trouble is not dead" and "Love My Day Your Mother".) )
The sacrificers on the ground fell in pieces, the giants of the air toppled and shattered like crumbling icebergs, and angry and terrible cries resounded throughout the city, stirring up gusts of wind.
Mu Lie hugged the wall tightly, with a string of ground monkeys floating in the air attached to his body, coupled with the protection of the demon robe, he could barely resist the attack of the wind, and there were more demon weapons around Yin Bushen, he pressed one hand on the city wall, and his feet could finally stand on the ground.
"You still say that mortals can't see it with the naked eye?" Mu Lie said loudly, even he knew that this was a fighting method, he could see and hear clearly, and he felt it strongly.
"This is just the appearance, you haven't seen the real fighting method!" Yin Bushen replied loudly, refusing to admit that he had said something wrong before.
Mu Lie was persuaded, and asked again, "Are those soldiers on the ground dead or alive?"
The wind was strong, but it could not move the sacrificers, who were almost all down, their garments swaying in the wind, and the idols in their hands being swept away by the wind, but they did not move.
"Uh...... They definitely can't die, Dao Zun and Daoist Qin will protect them. Yin Bushen was a little vague in his heart, but he didn't believe that Mu Xingqiu would really ignore the lives and deaths of 90,000 people.
The screams disappeared, the wind stopped, the giant became completely transparent, only a thin layer of shadow remained, Yin Bushen could still be seen, Mu Lie really couldn't see the giant anymore, he noticed another thing, "Those soldiers...... It's gone!"
Yin Bushen was still observing the shadow of the giant, and when he heard the words, he looked down, only to see the sacrificers lying in the formation disappearing one after another, one here, one there, no regularity at all, Yin Bushen rubbed his eyes. "Dao Venerable...... What the hell do you want to do?"
The morning sun on the horizon was slightly dewed, and the first rays of sunlight had just shone out, and the Patriarch Tower immediately faded from its light and returned to its bland appearance, and the Emperor Ci and the white staff in the top tower were gone. The sacrificer disappeared faster, not for long. Leaving only a large forest of wooden stakes and broken idols all over the ground, there was not a single person in the forest, not even the thousands of soldiers who were not sacrificers, and the entire army of holy runes seemed to have never appeared.
The ground monkeys were not surprised, and as soon as they felt safe, they immediately dispersed and picked up idols everywhere.
Mu Lie opened his mouth wide and said after a while, "Is this what Mu Xingqiu did?"
Yin Bushen also opened his mouth wide and nodded. Shaking his head again, he couldn't guess Mu Xingqiu's thoughts, nor could he see his spell clearly, so he was quite annoyed.
A person ran out of the patriarch tower, it was the white-haired Emperor Cihuang, empty-handed, his expression was terrified to the extreme, and he looked around. Reaching out and pinching his face, he raised his foot and kicked the idol on the ground. Unable to comprehend what was in front of him, he suddenly screamed again, not a scream, but a roar of anger and despair.
"The emperor is really crazy. Yin Bushen took Mu Lie and the earth monkeys to jump off the city wall and walked towards the Patriarch Tower.
Emperor Ci turned a blind eye to the comers, and yelled for a while. Crawling on their knees, picking up the idols, and throwing them away after looking at them, the ground monkeys thought it was a game and ran over to it. Compete for the statue thrown by the Emperor.
"What is he doing?" asked Mu Lie in a low voice.
"Look for the White Staff. Yin Bushen looked at Mu Xingqiu, who was coming from behind the Patriarch Tower, and felt a trace of fear in his heart inexplicably, "Hehe, Dao Venerable...... After the amnesia, he is even more powerful than before, and he can beat Emperor Ci and his 100,000 army to ashes with just one spell, this ability is no problem to defeat Zuo Liuying, even if it is against Kun Zhu, he is a little sure, right?"
"It's a pity that there are still omissions. Mu Xingqiu looked at Emperor Ci with no joy of victory on his face.
"Are you not satisfied with missing one?" Yin Bushen burst into tears, both in awe and jealousy.
"Omission is a flaw, I am not Zuo Liuying's opponent, let alone Kun Chao. ”
The unsinky praise is not sincere, and it no longer squeaks.
Mu Lie stepped forward and said, "Where did you get everyone?"
Mu Xingqiu pointed to the Patriarch Tower.
If it weren't for seeing giants appear in the air and more than 90,000 soldiers disappear in place, Mu Lie would never have believed that the Ancestor Tower could hold so many people, and now he still can't understand it, but he has to accept, "Are they still alive?"
"They entered another world, whether they lived or died -- it's hard to say. ”
Mu Lie was even more confused, but he didn't ask, because he didn't know where to start.
Yin Bushen slowly understood, "Dao Zun is using the Ancestor Pagoda as a soul detention weapon, right? But you can detain all your physical body into it, it's really a great feat." ”
"This is not a pioneering feat, it is originally one of the greatest uses of the Dao Treasure Treasure, so the Demon Suppression Bell can seal the demon seed, and the Demon Pulling Cave can be used to hold prisoners. ”
"I see. Yin Bushen looked at the Patriarch Tower, and said stupidly: "Treasure, it is indeed the Treasure...... shook his head vigorously, "I'm such a fool, I actually think about what it would be like to have the Patriarch Tower, he is a role model." ”
Emperor Ci was still crawling, picking up idols everywhere, muttering in his mouth, not caring about anything else around him.
Yin Bushen took a deep breath, "The Dao Sect Supreme Treasure is indeed powerful, but only equally powerful users can operate freely, otherwise it will only harm themselves." I understand, Daozun actually didn't use a trick, you let the emperor use the Patriarch Tower at will, it was because he didn't have the ability, he failed to seize the power of the Patriarch Tower, but instead put his own power into it. Haha, insidious, insidious enough. ”
The word "insidious" belonged to a real compliment in Yin Bushen's mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was a little confused, "The 100,000 army has entered, why is the emperor himself still outside?"
"Because he doesn't want to go to the 'other world', his will to stay is too strong for the Patriarch Tower to change. ”
Yin Bushen nodded approvingly, and the sympathy for Emperor Ci in Mu Lie's heart suddenly came to naught, "He made everyone believe that there was a 'world of ancient gods after death', but he didn't believe it at all?"
"Only those who particularly want to 'live' will go to great lengths to 'persuade' others to believe in death. Mu Xingqiu said.
Mu Lie looked at Yin Bushen, hoping to get a clearer explanation from him.
"I don't understand this? The army is the emperor's strength, the army is gone, he is the way he is now, in order to keep the army, he is willing to do anything, what the soldiers are willing to listen to. He naturally said something, since everyone felt that there was no hope in this world, he made up an afterlife, in short, to keep everyone by his side. He doesn't want to die, his power is in this world. ”
Yin Bushen suddenly let out a long sigh. "Lao Jun is also this kind of goods, I think at the beginning, he persuaded the demon clan to confront humans, but he never participated directly, preferring to teach demon art and give magic weapons...... The true believers have to do at least something, but the hypocrites will only say that when they have to, they will reveal the truth, just like this emperor. ”
Yin Bushen thought it was funny. Pointing at Mu Lie, "You are a true believer, because you don't say much, you dare to come to Zuo Liuying for revenge alone, but you don't think much, you don't know what you're doing, and you're the same kind of person as those soldiers who voluntarily sent to death." ”
Mu Lie scratched his head, unable to figure out whether it was a compliment or sarcasm.
Yin Bushen bowed to Mu Xingqiu. "Dao Zun is also a true believer, but you do a lot and think a lot. There is a lot to say. Hey, in this way, Zuo Liuying is a true believer, he just doesn't want to do it, let alone doesn't want to, and even his thoughts are broken. Everything he said came from Kun Chao, but what did he believe? Kun Chao - he didn't need to be hypocritical, there was no one more real than him in this world. ”
Yin Bushen looked down at himself, "What about me? I've been talking, what the hell am I talking about? I don't even have a false belief. It's not as good as this crazy emperor. No, no, I'm not just saying, I'm also doing it, what I do is what I really believe, so what am I doing? Laojun, Daozun, Zuo Liuying......"
Yin Bushen raised his hand and beat his head, walked away, and didn't know where he was going, and said to himself: "King Huaibi is right, I'm really a little enchanted." Ah, Demon, you've been in my head for so long, you should have had enough, see what you've become......?
The earth monkeys threw away the idol and chased after the demon lord, Mu Lie looked at the back of the half-demon in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"
"He had to think about it. Mu Xingqiu walked towards the Patriarch Tower, ready to continue writing talismans, this was what he was doing.
Mu Lie also patted his head and muttered, "I'll never learn spells, it's too difficult and too chaotic." ”
Emperor Ci was still crawling, Mu Lie felt sympathy, and was about to go over to help him up, when a sudden hiss sounded not far away, and the unicorn came running. The patriarch tower only accepts people and not livestock, and most of the horses are scattered, but the unicorn is attached to the old master, runs to the side of the emperor, bows his head and gently pushes him with the only horn.
Emperor Ci finally raised his head and said the complete words, "Great, you are still here, come and help me find the Imperial God Staff." ”
The Qilin nodded, and the Emperor Ci let out a sigh of relief, climbed onto the Qilin's back, and whispered, "I'm going to rest for a while, just for a while." ”
The unicorn carried its master and ran south, the pace was steady, and the emperor soon fell asleep.
How can a mad emperor, a scarred unicorn, survive in the troubled times? Mu Lie chased after him, shouting loudly, trying to leave the unicorn behind, but the unicorn didn't even look back.
After running dozens of steps, Mu Lie stopped, not because he was physically exhausted, but in the moment of lightning, he finally understood the meaning of Mu Xingqiu's words: Qilin only does not say anything, can a beast also have true faith?
Mu Lie looked at Yin Bushen, who was walking along the riverbed, and understood what he was looking for. Mu Lie looked at Mu Xingqiu, who was writing talismans around the Patriarch Tower, and understood what he had found.
Mu Lie slowly pulled out the knife on his waist, he had done this action countless times, only this time made him tremble and his blood boiled, "I am indeed a fool, I never thought if I could defeat Zuo Liuying, in fact, it was because I was afraid, afraid of losing all hope." True faith is not afraid, and there is no victory or defeat in faith. ”
Mu Lie didn't want to say any more, walked to the nearest stake, and slashed it with a knife, each with firm conviction.
Across the Broken Flow City, Qin Lingshuang walked around on the ice, her steps were slightly faster than usual, and the two portals were also brighter than usual, and suddenly she stopped and looked into the distance with her heavenly eyes.
Thousands of miles away, she saw a black phoenix fluttering.
She thought she had to do something about it.
