Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 87

Xiao Jue frowned, and said in a low voice, "You still don't think you're eye-catching enough?"

Yu Zixi turned her head regretfully and sighed, "Ugly! Ugly! I wasted my stunning smile."

Xiao Chen smiled without saying a word, but said: "Brother is in a good mood today, come to offer incense in person."

"Don't test me," Xiao Jue said helplessly, "Of course you know that I'm not here to offer incense. I wanted to come alone, but you all followed!"

"My younger brother is in charge of the guarding of the palace, it is my younger brother's duty to escort the driver," Xiao Chen smiled elegantly, showing some courtesy.

"What is your duty?" Xiao Jue smiled, "Minister in charge of the guards, may I ask how many times a year you have been in charge of the palace? Today I remember clearly."

"Just remember when it's time to remember." Xiao Chen was as gentle as ever, without any shame.

Xiao Jue shook his head, and headed towards the meditation room in the backyard on his own. Today, the novice who is full-time to guard guests greeted him today, and saluted with palms together, "Master, please benefactor."

Xiao Chen smiled unsurprisingly, and took a step back according to his words, but Yu Zixi smiled and said, "No part for us?"

The novice monk said straight and straight: "The master told me that among the three people who came, the only one who has a sincere request, and the other two, please do what you want."

"I also sincerely." Yu Zixi put her beautiful face in front of the young monk, "I sincerely want to meet the holy monk and ask about my marriage."

This novice must have been selected by the old monk Shiyi, with a dry tone forever, and he is not moved by the beauty that has surpassed gender, "Master ordered, if someone asks about marriage, please answer: Please." Find it under the ice."

It was as if a gust of wind suddenly rose from the ground, blowing away the bewitching smile on the stunning face, turning into a butterfly and flying away, Yu Zixi's figure seemed to be stiff.

However, the dissipated smile gathered again in an instant, and Yu Zixi was still the enchanting beauty with rippling eyes and turned around like a willow, and said with a smile: "The monk's fame is probably made by playing tricks, what are you talking about? The Zen mechanism is so profound, I can’t understand it.” While letting go, he lazily walked out of the courtyard, “Young master, go and fight with the sour monk, I won’t accompany you.”

Xiao Jue nodded with a smile, looked at Xiao Chen who was looking at Yu Zixi's back thoughtfully, hesitated to speak, and finally followed the monk into the backyard.

Xiao Jue's treatment was not as high as that of Qin Changge's - when he stepped into Shi Yi's meditation room, what he saw was a neat and elegant retreat, with thin bamboo curtains, fragrant sandalwood, and simple and heavy Buddhist scriptures on the four walls. The pot of plain blue is elegant in color, and on the white-worn green cloth futon sits the No. 1 monk in the world with a solemn treasure.

Standing at the door, Xiao Jue looked at the old monk with a calm face, half-opened and half-closed eyes, and Ning He's face with a faint brilliance. He respected the old monk spontaneously. The so-called divine monk has a well-deserved reputation. Feeling the strange feeling of oppression, facing him is like facing a flower, a leaf and a wisp of breeze, like facing the natural ocean, infinite as wide as the sky, and all mundane thoughts are like mustard seeds.

Looking at him, I can't help but look back at myself, rich in the world, hanging in all directions, seems to have everything, but from the high throne that is not leaning on all sides, the crowds in the Great Hall of Fame are as far away as the sky, and they are the courtiers. , is a subordinate, a stranger who is obedient but never has a heart-to-heart, who wakes up from a dream in an empty bedroom at night, only to feel a desolate and lonely wind blowing in his chest, sweeping away all joys and sorrows, lonely days, Not even a dream.

He thought slightly sadly, it turns out that to have everything is to lose everything——

"There is nothing in nothing, there is nothing in being, all things are inter-growth, why bother to show signs," the old monk opened his eyes in the light golden mist, and a gaze looked into the depths of his heart like a shock, "I think the benefactor is sincere, and I am here to wait for the benefactor , I have missed my practice, so please go straight to the point."

Stepping forward slowly, Xiao Jue sat down on the opposite futon, but for a moment Xiao Jue felt endless unspeakable emotions surging in his heart, clouds and lightning, waves churning, those past events rushed in, every scene was vivid and every scene was painful ...ask, ask what?The question that has been doubted in my heart for a long time has never been checked to confirm it. Isn't it because I am afraid that I will finally meet the dark ending that I am least willing to face?

Don't ask, then hope will always be there, he has always thought so.

until that woman appeared.

So another hope began to grow slowly in the snowy heart like a spring bud, breaking through the ice-like defense bit by bit-maybe, there is another possibility?
After lingering for a long time, hesitating for a long time, he has made a clear decision in his life, and he has never looked forward and backward like this.

The so-called timidity of being close to the hometown is like this. I want to know, but I am afraid that the one I want to know is not the one I want, so I deliberately make things difficult for myself, and I deliberately submissively go to see Shi Yi, thinking that this holy monk has such a great reputation and has been in seclusion for many years. , can't see you?

If you can’t see it, let’s just forget about it. It’s better to live in a muddleheaded way than to be lingering at the end of eternal darkness.

In the end, he came here with hesitation, and he saw the person he wanted to see. It turned out that the holy monk was not a big fan, and it was so easy to retreat and switch. Everything went so smoothly, so smooth that he began to be afraid.

what?How... ask?

Ask her... is she dead?Still asking, who is Mingshuang?

Shi Yi has been watching Xiao Jue deeply, and there is a trace of emotion in his eyes that have not been happy for many years, good fortune tricks people, how sad and affectionate, maybe it is kindness to conceal, the Buddhist lion's roar is actually not applicable A mild-mannered person who voluntarily indulges in strays.

It's a pity that the old monk is going to be an executioner again today.

There's no way...the girl can't offend...she's an immortal...in the future, if she stays in another place, she'll have to make a living at her hands...

"Idiot..." Shi Yi's voice was condensed into a thread, forcing it into Xiao Jue's eardrums, "The person who married you will turn into ashes early, and the place where the bones are broken, the eyes are deep in the palace, what are you still obsessed with!"

The sky suddenly thundered, and the strong lightning came through the clouds, the monster snake danced wildly, and everything in the shadows turned into dust.

Something crumbles, something fades, something struggles, something screams.

... The soul must have been shattered, shattered into thousands of pieces, and turned into the snow on the plum forest in Yunzhou that year.

... The snow was so cold, touching the fingertips, with a bang, it exploded into flames.

... What a big fire... The palace collapsed with the crackling sound... It was the Changle Palace... He walked with her through every inch of land there... The raging flames, some with black hair dancing, some indifferently watching , Some people sneaked in with a sneer, some looked back in a daze... All living beings, all living beings, all beings are in the trap...

... who struggled?On the long street, looking back angrily, the slender woman came with a smile...

...He was overjoyed to take her hand... Changge...I knew the old monk was talking nonsense...you are not dead...you will not die...

The tentacles were scorching hot, he looked down, scared and let go...

...a handful of scorched bones, scattered in the black ruins...

... What about Changge?And me?Where am I?where is she? ...

...Looking around... There is a sweet and fishy smell, surging up...

Who set up the frying pan?Who held the sword and axe?Who came forward with a smirk, with the long blade on his back, and his actions were cold and cold.

The severe pain is overwhelming, but I don't know where the pain is, my heart?no... no more...

...are you going to die?or...

"Duh! Wake up!"

Turning over the messy demon barriers like lightning, the dark clouds that weigh heavily on the thoughts, and being cracked by the mellow and pure Buddhist lion roar!
Xiao Jue's whole body was shaken, and he woke up from the nightmare that was close to confusion.

Surprisingly, there was a ray of flush on his face, his eyes were a little moist, and he took a slow look at Shi.

When he was about to speak, he shook his body, and a mouthful of blood sprayed down like a cherry rain.

Splashed on the clean blue brick floor.

It's like a freehand painting of blood, but the strokes are messy and the strokes are sad.

For example, those who want to sue but cannot sue, want to stay but cannot stay, want to treat the ignorant self but are brutally pierced by life and death, and cannot be traced back to the irreversible past.

"Fool..." Shi Yi said the same sentence this time with a bit of compassion. He looked at Xiao Jue carefully - this child is obsessed with obsessions and can't get involved, he is really innocent...

Stretching out his hand, his fingertips wanted to touch Xiao Jue's eyebrows.

Let me break through the maze for you, and give you back the bright moon...

Boom!

The sky was clear, and there was a muffled thunder.

In the Daxiong Palace, Yu Zixi, who was wandering around, looked up in amazement, "The sky is bright, it's winter again, thunder?"

He squinted and looked at the sky—dark clouds suddenly rose, layer upon layer as thick as a black curtain, and a ball of golden fire pierced through the clouds.

A ray of lightning struck down like a sky-shattering blade, and the dark hall lit up instantly, reflecting the handsome face of the elegant man standing calmly in the corner of the hall with his hands behind his back, shrouded in a mesmerizing light and darkness.

Boom!

The muffled thunder shook the wooden windows of the meditation room, and with a bang, the pot of Su Lan somehow fell to the desk and fell to pieces on the ground.

Shi Yi's hand was pointed in front of Xiao Jue's eyebrows.

After a while, the old monk suddenly showed a wry smile, looked up very slowly, and looked at the sky.

Slowly retract your fingers.

The fireball jumped and went away together.

The old monk's eyebrows trembled very slightly, and he turned his head to meet Xiao Jue who was staring blankly at the ground, completely unaware of what happened just now.

"Benefactor, please go back." He stared deeply at Xiao Jue, "Deep water floods the rocks, thick clouds cover the moon, and night walks in the alleys are chaotic. In fact, there is no need to be disturbed. Just wait for the opportunity. It is ignorant to be unable to get out of the situation; it is evil to be outside the situation without intention to intrude, and the benefactor wants to do it himself."

Xiao Jue stood up in a daze, and swayed out like a walking corpse.

As soon as his figure disappeared from the door of the meditation room, Shi Yi immediately pointed his halberd and cursed at the sky:

"Fuck you! Threatening me!"

Xiao Jue didn't know how he got out of the meditation room and out of the backyard.

After the thunderstorm, the sky was still clear, and the shadows of the sun were long, pouring down like milk. Xiao Jue suddenly felt that the bright sunlight was a bit dazzling, and he slowly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Go ahead, go ahead.

The Xiliang emperor's steps have never been so heavy and slow, stepping on the shattered shadow of the sun, hearing the rustling sound, grinding the scarred heart like sandpaper.
