Antiquity

Chapter 96 Finale II

Feng Ran froze, clenched the hand on her chin, and raised her voice, "Ancient, what did you say? Didn't you say that Jing Jian..."

"I have never seen a fairy who can still retain a breath of soul after using the method of military solution. Thinking about it, Jing Jian had already stepped into a demigod, or... his obsession was too deep, even if he only possessed the soul on the phoenix feather. It's hard to see the light of day again, so I want to stay by your side." Shang Gu leaned over, took the pinned phoenix feather from Fengran's hair, and sighed slightly: "Fengran, you are really lucky."

Feng Ran stared at Shang Gu, the arrogance and flamboyance just now disappeared, her eyes were a little nervous and fragile, she just kept talking nonsense: "What are you talking about, Shang Gu? Isn't Jing Jian already wiped out? Don't lie to me , I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."

"Back then, I thought he would say that when his soul was gone, but I didn't expect him to send a ray of soul on this phoenix feather." Shang Gu looked at the phoenix feather that was emitting a little fairy power, and said with a smile: "You know that the origin of chaos has the ability to create The power of the world, after several decades of pregnancy, I will reshape his body and introduce his soul, just wait for a while, and I will definitely return you a newlywed with a healthy body and healthy limbs."

Fengran looked at her, and after a pause, she understood the meaning of the ancient words. Her eyes were wet and moist, moist and wet. After a long time, she stared at the ancient with wide eyes, silently urging her to fulfill the promise as soon as possible. .

The ancients rubbed their noses, the pitiful figure who couldn't bear the phoenix dye, condensed a jade box in the void, poured the silver divine power into it, and then put the phoenix feather inside, the silver light flashed, the phoenix feather was wrapped up, silky Vitality escapes from the jade box.

The ancients sealed the jade box, handed it to Feng Ran, and said: "The divine power inside can keep his soul safe for a hundred years. After all, Jingjian belongs to the Phoenix family, and the power of chaos can only be conceived. To gather the soul, he has to rely on himself. You can place him under the ancient phoenix tree, and it will be very good for him."

Shang Gu paused for a moment, and seeing Feng Ran's wide-eyed smile, he couldn't help pouring cold water on him: "I don't know who just said that I want to invite Puhua to lead a good marriage, and when Jing Jian wakes up, I will have your good fruit to eat. "

At this time, Fengran was all tied to the jade box, and regardless of Shang Gu's sarcasm, she waved her hand and prepared to pick her up, but saw the indifference and grief flashing in Shang Gu's eyes, scratched her head, and asked in a low voice: "Shang Gu, after that... Have you ever been to Yuanling Swamp, maybe Bai Jue also..."

Shang Gu smiled and didn't answer, but said: "The time for the dinner party is coming soon, it's okay if you are late, I don't have anything, the fire phoenix jade just now is a small gift for the little phoenix, as for the newlywed , it can be regarded as my gift for you to marry, there are still many immortal mansions waiting for my visit, so I won't join in the fun."

Shang Gu waved his hands, got up and walked towards the outsider, but after a while, he stopped slowly, the smudged full moon rose behind her, the earth was bright and boundless, but it was lonely and cold.

Feng Ran raised her head, and saw a woman in plain clothes and ancient robes under the moon standing beside an ancient tree, she turned her head, her eyes were deep, and her eyes were clearly smiling, but it made people suddenly recall the deep place in the South China Sea that had long been forgotten by the world because she couldn't cry. Shark family.

It's just that it took tens of thousands of years for the shark to suppress the innate nature of crying and flowing beads, while the person in front of her had only been around for three years, as if in her eyes, the only gray color left in the world was left.

"Feng Ran, after a hundred years, treat him well, don't let down this deep affection."

Some people are destined to be so lucky for a lifetime.

The voice settled down, Shang Gu disappeared beside the ancient tree, the courtyard was full of silence, and the full moon was cold.

Fengran didn't say anything for a long time, but she sighed softly. After that, she didn't see Shang Gu again for many years. She said goodbye in a hurry.

A cloud in the sky floated aimlessly, staggered out of the East China Sea, and after a few hours, tremblingly landed in one place, Shang Gu opened his eyes, and walked down from the cloud in a muffled manner, with a thin body Standing outside the Yuanling swamp, eyes drooping.

The swamp was barren, all the vegetation was burned, and the earth was a frightening scorched black. After three years, the traces of destruction left by the calamity of chaos had not yet disappeared completely. The smoke disappeared—like the crimson figure flying into the magma with a sound.

If someone could say this to her 6 years ago, she would not be willing to let down that deep love.

Everything in the world can be reborn with the original shape of chaos if there is a piece of soul left, but the four true gods who live the same life as the heaven and the earth cannot. What's more, for three full years, in the eight wildernesses of Kyushu, she can't even have a trace of Bai Jue's breath. Never felt it.

Shang Gu leaned against a rock, lost his strength, and fell down slowly, covering his face with his hands, trembling slightly.

No matter how many times she tells herself, she knows that she can't lie to herself, Bai Jue... died three years ago.

Died in front of her eyes, died in Yuanling swamp, died in the calamity of chaos.

Sitting quietly in the place where he resolutely turned around three years ago, Shang Gu seemed to have become one with the heaven and the earth.

To her, time is no different from standing still, she just feels that the moon sets and rises, rises and sets again, and the moon passes in a flash, and the ancient plain-colored ancient robe has been polished mercilessly by the wind and dust, and it is as alive as the stove on the mortal stove. Her head and shoulders were covered with dead leaves, she was absolutely horrible, not to mention the immortal monarch, her appearance at this time was probably worse than even a beggar in the world.

Until a call came to her ears, rough and heavy but cautious.

Shang Gu opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a huge, burning object. She was stunned for a while, and then she saw that Hong Sun was standing in front of her with her body on her back, eyes the size of copper bells piercing into the bottom of one's heart. In addition, Shang Gu really didn't want to see any species related to Bai Jue at this time, so he raised his eyelids and said impatiently: "Red Sun, what's the matter?"

After Bai Jue's death, San Huo returned to the Demon Realm to be the overlord. As for where Hong Sun had been in the past few years, she really didn't bother to know.

"Shenjun, I've brought you something." Hongri turned into a human body, with a simple and honest rough appearance, plucked something out of his sleeve and handed it to Shang Gu.

Shang Gu glanced at it, slightly startled: "Soul-suppressing pagoda?" Fireworks were burning in the small green pagoda, and the contents inside couldn't be seen clearly. Back then, Bai Jue destroyed one on the top of the sky, presumably it was re-refined by him later.

Shang Gu raised his spirits a little, and smashed the Soul Rescue Tower in front of Chu Chu: "What's inside?"

"Master handed over the Tower of Souls to me three years ago, and drove me to the lair of the Dragon Clan in the West Sea, and asked me to conceive and raise the original body of the people in the tower before handing it over to you." Hong Sun hummed in a rough voice: " I thought it was an old friend, and I had a few good karmas on Mount Wangwang back then, and he also had the right to support you, the god, so I stayed in the deep sea for a few years. You know that Qilin is the worst I like cold water, it’s been hard for me these days.”

The meaning of upbringing?There are only two people in the world who can bear such a statement. Father God Qingtian has long been turned into nothingness, and the second one...

Shang Gu raised his head, his voice was dry and hoarse: "This is... Gu Jun?"

Hong Ri nodded, seeing Shang Gu's sad look, scratching the back of his head with rough nerves: "Shenjun, the master is no longer here, you...sorry."

Shang Gu lowered his eyes, took over the Zhenhun Pagoda, and twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling that what Hong Ri said was really ugly.

Back then, the ancient king of the sky realm returned the origin of chaos, and when the ashes disappeared, he must have been saved by Bai Jue, who already possessed the power of chaos. He was afraid that she would find out the truth, so that the red sun would take him to the depths of the West Sea.

Breaking through the flames outside the Soul Restraining Tower, the little dragon in the dark green box inside was curled up and sleeping soundly, and a steady stream of immortal power poured in from the outside and poured into its body.

Conceived with the body of a dragon to nourish the soul, although Gu Jun will forget the past when he awakens, but he can avoid the rough road of cultivating the gods with the demon, and the future must be excellent in the future.

Holding the soul-suppressing pagoda, Shang Gu couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. After closing his eyes for a while, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Hong Sun with a fierce look in his eyes: "Hong Sun, have you had enough? Can that bastard do it once? After finishing speaking, it would be better to throw me into the reincarnation wheel to be purified after being sharpened by such a soft knife."

"Wait for me for 13 years, okay, I'll take it. He Bai Jue is just one of the true gods. I am the master of the ancient world, so I can bear his love!"

"It's okay to incarnate Bai Xuan to protect me for tens of thousands of years, anyway, this is not the first time for him!"

"It's not a big mistake for one person to bear the calamity of the Three Realms and Chaos. It's not like I didn't do this kind of stupid thing back then!"

The words fell to the ground, and the ancients were like an erupting volcano, and at the end they almost screamed: "It's okay to save Gu Jun without making a sound, it's what a true god should do, Hong Sun, tell me, what else I don't know , say it once, anyway, we have known each other for 10,000+ years, give it a good time!"

Hong Ri was forced to take a few steps back, looked at Shang Gu who was on the verge of explosion, and said, "No more."

The three words An Jing Jing, but Shang Gu suddenly fell silent.

Yes, he is gone. After protecting all the people in her heart and doing everything for her, what else can be left?

After thousands or ten thousand years, when her memory also starts to fade slowly, Bai Jue really has nothing left.

Holding the warm and moist Soul Rescue Pagoda in his arms, an icy chill oozes from Gu Gu's bones, until... a string of jet-black stone chains suddenly appeared in Gu Gu's sight.

"When the master sent me away, he said... If there is a chance in the future, I will give this thing to the god, and leave it for the god..."

Before the words were finished, the stone chain was snatched by the ancients, and the squatting Goddess was fluttering in dust, holding on to the stone chain, shaking her head, it was a bit pitiful, Hong Sun thought to herself that the task was completed, there was no need to stay Seeing Shang Gu's distressed and sad appearance, he said An An and prepared to live his happy life, but suddenly heard Shang Gu's aggrieved and hoarse voice.

"Red Sun, you have followed Bai Jue for 10,000+ years, Zhi Yang and him also have a deep bond of friendship, how come one or two of them don't even shed a tear of embarrassment now, what kind of loyalty is this?"

Listen, what you said was completely unreasonable. Thinking that Shang Gu was ten thousand years younger than him after all, Hong Ri rolled his eyes and decided not to care about her, but turned around slowly and let out a long sigh.

This sigh was a little long and aggrieved, it was not Hongri's usual tone, the ancient eyes blinked, and finally subsided.

"Shenjun, your state is not unusual. You died 6 years ago, the ancient world was covered with dust, the master fought against the true god of apocalypse, and I was forced to press down at the bottom of Wangwang Mountain. It was almost like you." Hong Sun pointed at the ancient world and gestured After looking at him twice, seeing Shang Gu staring at him intently, he regained his energy for a moment, and raised his voice suddenly, drooling: "But guess what happened later?"

Shang Gu shook his head in a daze.

"Hehe, Red Sun, when I woke up, you, the true god who had been dead for 6 years, appeared on Mount Wangwang wearing the skin of Houchi, accompanied by the master's avatar. At that time, I thought ..." Hong Ri rubbed her nose embarrassingly, and said with a naive smile: "If you, a person who doesn't even have ashes left, can come back, then there is nothing in this world worth worrying about. Immortality, there will always be a day when all wishes come true."

"Shenjun, your miracle was bought by your master. If that's the case, why don't you try it for him?"

Hongri Shi Shiran finished the last sentence, patted his buttocks and flew away, leaving only the ancients squatting beside the rock alone.

Try, how to try?Back then, her soul was scattered in the Three Realms, but now Bai Jue really has no scum left!Shang Gu grumbled bitterly and lowered his shoulders.

What Hong Ri said was right, she didn't dare to try it, she was afraid that even if she tried Bai Jue would not come back, at that time, even waiting would become luxury and torture.

Not knowing how to make a choice, Shang Gu leaned against the rock, curled up in a ball holding the Soul-Suppressing Pagoda, and his eyes sank into oblivion little by little.

The cold wind was blowing outside the Yuanling Swamp, and her limbs seemed to be frozen. In ancient times, she thought how she was a true god. It was embarrassing to be so downcast. She moved her arms reluctantly, but didn't want the stone chain in her hand to accidentally fall into it. The soul-suppressing tower in his arms.

There was a crisp sound, and the flames in the Soul Suppression Pagoda burst into flames. Shang Gu felt that the heart that was still beating stopped suddenly, and she could even hear the feeling of her own blood boiling backwards. She trembled and panicked. Stretch out your hand towards the soul tower.

The soul-suppressing tower is forged by the power of chaos, it can melt any artifact in the world, let alone a stone chain?
Bai Jue is no longer here, can't he even keep his thoughts?

Touching the stone chain next to Xiaolong's blue box, Shang Gu breathed a sigh of relief, his face returned to a little rosy, he took out his hand nervously, and was about to see if the stone chain that had escaped death was healthy, but his eyes were fixed on the present.

The ink-colored coat on the stone chain has gradually faded, revealing a few indistinct small characters.

'Ancient...'

Just two words, familiar handwriting, but it seems to carry all kinds of lingering aftertaste and unfinished helplessness.

Shang Gu rubbed his eyes, thinking of something, hurriedly took off the stone chain on his wrist, a silver fire ignited from the palm of his hand, wrapped the stone chain in it, and the black color gradually fell off.

Shang Gu held his breath, his eyes widened little by little, until finally, a blood-red color appeared in the depths of his pupils.

One word at a time, Shang Gu's lips moved, the sound fell into his ears, and his heart was at a loss.

'I am... Bai Jue. '

Every inch of his body couldn't stop trembling, tears slipped silently from his pupils, and landed on a pair of intertwined stone chains in his palms, scorching and stinging.

The ancients raised their heads and looked through the misty eyes to the place where Baijue disappeared in the depths of the Yuanling swamp. Suddenly, there was no warning and weeping loudly. There was a heart-piercing and bewildered feeling in his limbs and bones that he had never seen before. At a loss.

In ancient times, I was Bai Jue.

The last thing you left me was this sentence.

How did you get here all these years? In Qingchi Palace 6 years ago, to the ignorant Houchi, what you most want to say and teach, is this sentence after all?
I am Shang Gu and you are Bai Jue.

It's not Baixuan, it's not Qingmu, it's not anyone in this world, it's just Bai Jue who has watched silently in Taoyuan Forest for 13 years and said, "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

I thought you were determined and ruthless enough, but it was only in the end that you found out...

In these 6 years, I have never even given me a chance to tell me who you are.

I owe you more than 13 years, and I owe you more than three lives?
In this life, I am worthy of all the gods in the sky, worthy of all creatures in the nine states, and my father, Qingtian, who passed away, but there is only one you, even if I remember it for thousands of years, I still can't remember it clearly.

Bai Jue, what should I do?

I have never been so sure--6 years ago, I should have died on the altar.

The desolate scenery gradually blurred in his vision, Shang Gu lowered his eyes, put away the Soul-Suppressing Tower, tied the stone chains in his hand on the left and right of his wrists, and suddenly got up and drove towards the gate of the ancient realm.

Bai Jue, if you don't believe in destiny, I'll bet with you one last time, okay?

Half a day later, the ancient world, Qiankun Terrace.

The thin figure was kneeling in the center of Qiankun Terrace in a tattered cloth.

The person's face was pale, but the expression in her pupils was extremely determined. She stared fixedly at the square-foot-sized Yuanshen Pond on the edge of Qiankun Terrace, with the corners of her lips pursed into a tough arc.

Under the sky, the straight body is frozen in the vast ancient world, cold and strong, as if the heaven and the earth have melted into eternity.

"Zhaoyang, do you think... there is hope?" On the Zhaixing Pavilion, Tianqi glanced at Qiankun Terrace, and turned his head.

"I don't know, but Yuanshen Pool is the last chance. It's a good thing that Shang Gu can figure it out so quickly."

Tian Qi nodded, Yuanshen Pool is the source of the birth of true gods in the ancient world, and only four of them have emerged in a million years.

Each has its own responsibilities and checks and balances each other.

According to the rules of heaven and earth, when a true god falls, the God of Chaos will tell the heavens to open the Yuanshen Pool, and after another 1000 years, a new true god will be born to replace the fallen god.

"It is extremely difficult for the reborn Sihai Division to be Bai Jue. You should know that his title on Optimus Prime has completely disappeared. If you lose this opportunity, after the birth of the new true god, Bai Jue will never be there again." The possibility of returning to the world."

If it weren't for this, Shang Gu wouldn't delay returning to the ancient world to open Yuanshen Pool until today.

"That's better than now. It's useless for her to regret and blame herself alone. It's better to take a gamble."

"Gambling?" Tian Qi was stunned: "What is the betting?"

"Ordinary people will pray to gods and worship Buddha if they encounter ups and downs, but what about our gods?" Zhiyang's solemn brows on weekdays were slightly strange, and he looked at Qiankuntai with a relaxed expression.

"You mean..." Tianqi raised his eyebrows: "She would do that if she worshiped that character wholeheartedly in the ancient times?"

That's why I said she figured it out, Zhi Yang smiled, but didn't answer, this matter is really only able to be done by the ancients, if it was someone else, I'm afraid they would have been punished by the thunder of heaven and earth.

The one who can break the laws of the Three Realms without being punished by the heavens, after all, there is only one who has already turned into nothingness in the world.

This time, it sounds nice to say that Shang Guxi thanked the heavens for Bai Jue's achievements, but it sounds ugly... It's a daughter begging for nothing to force her father to return her son-in-law.

If the ancestor god Qingtian has any concerns or debts in the world, there must be only one person in the ancient times.

However, no one will know whether Bai Jue will be born in Yuanshen Pool thousands of years later.

"If the ancestor god doesn't agree, I'm afraid the ancients will keep kneeling down. In fact, the two of them have ordinary tempers." Tian Qi sighed, finally smiled relievedly, and said to Zhiyang: "I heard that little Ah Qi provoked people in Daze Mountain. A lot of trouble, I will go down to the lower world, and the ancient world will be handed over to you."

Zhi Yang knew that he wanted to avoid it, so he nodded his head to accept the hard work. He just said to the sky when the apocalypse was flying in the clouds: "If you want to open it, come back earlier, don't miss the birth of a new god in 1000 years." day."

The figure of crimson purple waved his hand as a reply, but he didn't turn around to look at Qiankuntai after all.

In the fourth year after the fall of the true god Bai Jue, the long-lost ancient god returned to the ancient world and opened the Yuanshen Pool as the God of Chaos.

The wind, frost, rain and snow on the Qiankun stage, for several years in the spring and autumn, the kneeling figure floated in the dust, unmoved, as if he had already sat down.

Ten years later, the spiritual pulse of Yuanshenchi awakened, which indicated that the new true god who served the world would come to the world in 90 years, and the three worlds celebrated together after hearing the news.Also on the same day, Qiankuntai was illuminated by the divine light, and the true god Shanggu who had been kneeling on the platform for several years was pushed out of Qiankuntai by a divine power descending from the sky.

A few more years later, one day, Tianqi returned to the ancient world, and seeing a woman lying in the star picking pavilion and looking at the floating clouds, he asked casually: "I heard that you injured your leg on the Qiankun platform and left a hidden disease, why didn't you call someone to treat it?" rule?"

"We'll talk about it when Bai Jue returns." Shang Gu raised his eyelids, that's what he said.

"You should know that it is difficult to get Bai Jue back, and he may forget the memories of his previous life." When Tian Qi asked this question, his expression was a little awkward, and he always felt that he was narrow-minded, as if he was telling the ancients to give up waiting. .

Many years later, he still remembered that the woman on the couch frowned her beautiful eyebrows, looked at him and said lightly, "It's okay, I remember."

Tianqi didn't tell anyone that he really gave up on Shanggu at that moment, so when Shanggu raised his eyebrows and asked him 'when will he get tired of playing and come back to manage the interface', he just smiled and said: "Now".

In the next hundred years, what the gods passing by outside the pilgrimage hall saw most was the appearance of the ancient gods recuperating in the Zhaixing Pavilion looking at the peach grove outside the pavilion.

It was a sunny day when the news came. At that time, Shang Gu was resting in the peach grove with a book in his arms. Before the little fairy tales passed down, she threw away the book, turned around and ran out of the peach grove.

Because he ran too fast, he didn't even care about such shameful things as sweeping the tea on the table onto the little god and even stepping on him.

There is a change in Qiankuntai, a new true god is about to come into the world... That's what the little god said.But it has only been more than 100 years, how could the new god come to the world inexplicably?Could it be that there was something wrong with the Primordial Spirit Pond, or that Father God didn't fulfill her wish after all.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, his whole body was trembling, and he stumbled to the outside of Qiankun Terrace just like this in ancient times.

When she went down to the clouds, her legs were soft and her feet were soft, but it was Tianqi who supported her. At this time, many gods had gathered, Zhiyang and Yuqin were there, and it was the first time in ancient times that she thanked her for her high status, so she didn't have to greet everyone The superficial greeting of Shenjun just waved his hand casually and moved Tianqi's arm to the outside of Qiankun Terrace. He opened his eyes wide and saw the faint golden light on the inscription on Qiankun Terrace that symbolized the coming of the true god, and then quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But she still stared at the misty Yuanshen Pool and dared not be careless. After all, in the past, the true god came to the world, could it be that the gods and beasts came together and auspicious signs appeared in the world, and this time it was too quiet.

Before he breathed a sigh of relief, the blurred figure in the mist gradually became clear, and he might be able to see the appearance in a moment at most, but Shang Gu suddenly lost his courage for some reason, and said to Tianqi, "I will send a paper crane to tell me the result later." Then he fled on Yunluohuang in a flash, leaving all the gods stunned.

Going back to Taoyuan Forest in ancient times, he hid behind the ancient tree and held the stone chain left by Bai Jue in a daze.

After a long time, she came back to her senses, recalled how useless she was just now, and twitched the corners of her mouth, feeling a little bitter.

When Tian Qi asked, he was calmer than anyone else, and it was only at the end that he realized that he was also a piece of paper.

The sound of feet stepping on dead leaves sounded from behind, and they came towards this side step by step.

Shang Gu was stunned, got up, and looked back.

The man approached slowly, the dazzling sunlight cast a shallow phantom behind him through the smoky peach blossoms.

Green robe and black hair, his face remained the same.

Just like the appearance she had watched from a distance in Yuemi Mansion 6 years ago.

Shang Gu blinked, looked at his indifferent eyebrows, and dared not make a sound.

He might not remember who she was at all.

The hands hidden in the sleeves were lightly clenched, she looked at the man, and finally gained courage, her eyebrows were raised a little bit, but the voice she lowered was trembling.

"Bai Xuan?" She asked, the man's expression was normal, he looked at her like a passerby.

"Qingmu?" asked again, still the same.

There is silence in the depths of the peach grove, only the sound of the stream flowing by and the sound of ancient forbearance and apprehension can be heard.

The ancients lowered their eyes, and it was too late to be at a loss, and the sigh had already sounded.

She suddenly raised her head, and the man looked at her with no effort and gentleness, but the slightly raised eyebrows remained the same as before.

"In ancient times, I am Bai Jue."

The young man's brows were like ink, and he looked at her helplessly and persistently, saying so.

Thousands of clouds, her world suddenly left only his standing figure.

At that time, Shang Gu suddenly felt that in 10,000+ years, all she was waiting for was just this sentence.

In this way, even if there are millions of years of ups and downs in the future, it will not be as complete as this moment.
