Chapter 2420 The World Is an Illusion
"Namo...Three Jewels Tathagata!"
In the sky above Tianfeng Valley, the dharma bodies of all living beings descended from the sky.
This old monk has a compassionate face, and the faces of all living beings are illusory in thousands of ways.
Put your palms together and let the wind flow from the sky.
There is no sadness or joy in the eyes, but everything is vivid.
The doors and windows of Bai Yujing Restaurant are open, allowing the light of day to break in without fear of disturbance. The wooden sign that closed the store staggered and fell down. Chu Yao caught it in his hand and kept it for next time.
"Master!" He grinned with joy on his face.
Lian Yuchan relaxed completely, passing the dishes from tray to tray like a butterfly passing through flowers.
Bai Yuxia leaned back lazily, thinking that the price could still be increased. There should be a lot of room for everyone to accept it.
The whole restaurant instantly became lively and noisy!
Everyone knows that once the owner of Bai Yujing Restaurant arrives, the place will be absolutely safe. Let's discuss the affairs between Ping Pingguo and Jingguo. It's really like watching the fire from afar.
From the window on the ninth floor, Xia Houlie toasted with a toast.
It was hard to describe the feeling of watching him win the championship in the audience in the past, and watching his stunning scenery upstairs today.
This sermon wine...
He couldn't help but smack it a little!
The Dharmakaya of all sentient beings bowed to Xia Houlie in return, and then patrolled the valley attentively - something happened to Kuang Ming in front of Bai Yujing Restaurant, and he was somewhat concerned.
But when he saw it, he looked up to the sky and was a little surprised.
The guardians of Pingping Country swept away Kuang Ming, but in an instant they erased all traces. The last moment they flashed away, they were already in the sky!
Where are we going to take Kuang Ming to be slaughtered?
At this moment, the sun is hanging in the sky, thousands of miles of clouds are flowing, and the omnipresent starlight of Yuheng is flowing, mixed with the sunshine.
Sentient Dharmakaya originally wanted to ask Master Guanyan, but after thinking for a moment, he still did not bother.
If the fight was taking place right in front of the restaurant, he might as well intervene. But they were all killed in the sky, and he didn't have that important relationship with anyone.
Don't you see the Commander-in-Chief of Jing Kingdom, drinking and watching upstairs?
Compared with the original body, [all living beings] pay more attention to "conditions" and are not so pushy in character.
There are a lot of things going on in the world during this time, and it is best for him to watch over here in Xingyueyuan.
Before entering the restaurant, he took one last look at the sky——
The pure and flawless skylight is like a dream, and it is actually a bit beautiful!
…
…
The colorful light is all reflected in Kuang Ming's pupils.
His eyes shrank slightly, and he finally felt a bit of death.
Zhao Zi's chessboard world today is far better than all his past performances.
Is it because Zhao Zi's strength is far greater than before and cannot be summarized by intelligence, or is it because the opponent knows him too well and has too many targeted arrangements in this chessboard world... The suppression of him in this world is stronger than imagined. ?
What particularly made him wary was that both Qian Chou and Sun Yin stood quietly on the side, each having his own way, with their strength flying behind them like whiskers and tails!
These two guardians just silently participated in the construction of the chessboard world. It seems that they only care about how to make him die more completely and block his escape route, but don't care much about the killing time.
This is different from the death of Yin Xiaoheng and even Qiu Tie. The first two things happened very suddenly, in a place where there was no one around, in a split second.
How could he be so calm when he was swept away by Xingyue Yuan and took action in front of everyone?
He suddenly thought that Xingyueyuan was the closest place to the ancient starry sky in a supernatural sense, and another similar location was Tianmayuan.
At the same time, Xingyueyuan is also a place that Jingguo's power has not really covered, especially after the establishment of Bai Yujing Restaurant.
So are they still alive at this moment?
Could it be that he has already rushed to a certain place in the outer world?
He chose to come to Xingyueyuan to meet with Xia Houlie. This was an unspoken agreement between the two parties - but before coming to Xingyueyuan, he naturally considered this situation.
As the eighth commander-in-chief of the Central Empire, life and death are closely involved. Under the premise that Yin Xiaoheng had died in the battle, he would never be careless and give the other party a chance.
There is someone paying attention behind him, and his reinforcements are waiting!
Although the incident happened in a split second outside Bai Yujing Restaurant, it was impossible to wipe away the traces so cleanly. Logically speaking, support from the Jingguo court should have arrived.
But now, the chessboard world is calm, and these guardians have a lot of time to take care of themselves.
What went wrong?
Where is Dongtian Master Song Huai who should be paying attention here at all times?
Was it the Holy Duke or the Zhao Wang who intervened?
Or maybe the Equality Nation wants to accomplish this, abandon all other directions, and devote all its strength to an unprecedented war along this road, using a single organization to powerfully fight against the Central Empire?
Even an imperial commander like Kuang Ming had to admit that——
The combined strength of the entire Equality Country would indeed be a huge threat if given the courage to fight to the death!
Being trapped in the chessboard world like this, Kuang Ming found that he had a black eye.
The military strategist said that he would never fight an unprepared battle, and he would never start a war without knowing anything about it - Yin Xiaoheng's death was really sudden, and the anger of Jingguo could not be suppressed at all. The response of Pingpingguo It’s too intense!
This is an external action of the entire three branches of the country and the imperial party. Everyone is just a part of this national weapon. An eighth-level commander like him can only follow orders, but does not have much room for autonomy.
He came to Xingyueyuan when the empire was attacking on all sides. While talking with the Jing Kingdom, he also used his body as bait.
But it is not his duty to lift the pole and close the net.
Just like when Lou Yueshu went to bury Qiu Tie's corpse, the person who paid attention behind it was Beitian Master Wu Daoyou.
Jingguo wants to show that he does not care about the threats to the equal country, and at the same time, every line has sufficient protection. This is the strength and confidence of the Central Empire!
What happened to Master Dongtian who was staring at his line and should never have made a mistake at this time?
Not to mention the issue of accountability afterwards, what Kuang Ming needs to consider most now is——
what should I do?
Is it enough to be covered with a Qiankun Wandering Dragon flag and be recognized as a "heroic hero for the country"?
It is not terrible to die for the sake of morality. But dying here, dying because of someone else's fault, isn't that what we want?
Kuang Ming had already begun to think about retreating, but the murderous aura in his body became more and more fierce, as if he had a spirit, twisted like a vicious beast, bulging left and right, roaring endlessly!
"It was indeed you who killed Yin Xiaoheng!" Kuang Ming held up Tie Shu and said, "To provoke Jing Guo at this time, and in this way - your equal country has never really thought of walking into the sunshine! How can a curled-tailed night snake be majestic?"
"When you announced that the equal country was the murderer, you really didn't have any conclusive evidence!" Qian Chou, who had always been very friendly and always smiled slightly, smiled a little weirdly at this moment: "You really don't need evidence!"
Kuang Ming glanced at him, surprised that he would say that.
Is this something surprising? Jingguo's attack on Pingpingguo is like trampling an ant to death, or a poisonous ant that bites people... What evidence is needed?
"My impression of Jing Guo is not like this." Qian Chou held the handle of the cart with both hands and seemed to have no intention of fighting. The most simple and careless merchant is a little disappointed with the customers in front of him.
"Jingguo is a huge country, and Tao is an infinite concept. What you see is just a block in your eyes, and you think it is the sky. I am more curious-" Kuang Ming asked with interest: "Who caused you to misunderstand?"
Qian Chou said nothing.
Today is not just for chatting with Kuang Ming.
He picked the goods on the cart and looked at Kuang Ming like a commodity, thinking about which goods he should use later to end the life of this evil commander.
"General Kuang likes to say that under the sun, a snake leaps into a dragon. The snake is Si. Wu Si, Zhang Shaowu, was born with a disease. He changed his body with demon blood. He was punished by his clan and survived alone. He rose up from poverty and adversity. He was outstanding in the forest and had a majestic appearance. "Xiang." Zhao Zimo said in a frosty voice: "But wasn't it killed by you?"
"Looking at his life experience, he is also the kind of protagonist that storytellers like to talk about. It's a pity that he is dead, and he is no longer the same." Kuang Ming is used to killing people, and he is also used to the kind of scrutiny from others who want to kill him. At this moment, I feel a little bit emotional: "Just like your country of equality, it was once possible to achieve success. But if it is destroyed today, who will remember whether some of you have ideals? Only you will be left in the world. It’s a human crime! So I advise you—”
He grinned, his smile colder than when he wasn't smiling: "Cherish life."
"A Tiangong city has been buried with Yin Xiaoheng. You dare to come and surround me today -" he asked: "How many lives are you prepared to take?
Wu Si, Zheng Wu, Chen You, and the unlucky Li Mao.
So far, four of the twelve guardians of the Ping Dynasty have been killed in the battle, and one-third of the high-level combat strength has been reduced!
And this battle is not over yet.
Or more will die.
"It's not what you think." Zhao Zi did not express how determined she was to fight, but only said: "If what happened to Yin Xiaoheng was really what we did. The last time, before killing Yin Xiaoheng, We will also inform Li Maoyi in advance to give him a chance to retreat."
The mortality rate of guardians is very high, but Zhao Qian and Sun Li have been with them for a long time.
For Li Mao's ideal, even if they don't think it can be realized, they can't help but respect it.
After all, no matter what specific reasons led to their different life experiences, so that they finally came to an equal country, there must be the premise of "the law of heaven is unfair".
Many people come to Equality Country with hatred, which is why it is difficult for Equality Country to have a gentle external image - resentment can make people ugly, and the hatred that cannot be washed away often distorts people's hearts over a long period of time.
Once those extreme emotions are out of control, they will inevitably turn into another kind of evil. People who have been hurt by evil sometimes become more vicious than those who hurt themselves.
The feeling of revenge and innocence will make many behaviors "self-justified". People who interpret themselves as "righteous" don't even realize the cruelty of their actions.
For example, Wei Hai's pursuit of Jiang Wang - because of her long-term hatred of Qi State, her mission of "creating a sense of crisis for Jiang Wang and driving him away from the Eastern Region" almost turned into a pure pursuit of Jiang Wang torture. He gained unparalleled pleasure in "destroying Qi's genius".
It also directly led to the separation between Gu Shiyi and Ping Pingguo.
There are many things like Wei Hai's.
Zhao Zi and the others have also seen a lot.
Even Zhao Zi himself showed no mercy. She will do whatever it takes to achieve her ultimate goal.
Li Mao is different.
Li Mao had many reasons to resent the world, but he didn't. He didn't even resent Chu. In his final stage as a ghost, he only wanted to save the world, illuminate the world with his ideals, and prevent suffering like his from happening again.
He wants to eliminate the source of suffering, rather than targeting a specific organization or individual.
As protectors of the country of equality, they also respect Li Mao's ideals.
But they could not save Li Mao's misfortune.
Those who meet in a country of equals are all lost.
A person who has cultivated an art is nothing more than a golden body made of clay.
He can't save himself, let alone save others!
Zhao Zi picked up the white piece with two fingers, which was regarded as expressing Li Mao's fate. So now the sunspot named Kuang Ming should be mentioned as a memorial.
"The person you are waiting for will not come!" she said.
In the sky of the chessboard world, there is a yellowed notebook, the pages of which are slowly turning. Each page is filled with densely packed words, like a feeling that needs to be expressed.
Every time you turn the page, the chessboard world seems to get wider.
Facing Kuang Ming's gaze, Zhao Zidao said, "Do you know Lou Mingbi? He also has another name called Zheng Wu. He is an ordinary teacher at Qinku Academy."
Kuang Ming painfully discovered that he could not find a breakthrough in the current chessboard world, and all his secret means of contacting the central hall had failed!
Is the Equality Country really that powerful?
His expression was calm: "Does this count as acquaintance? After all, it was Zuo Qiuwu who personally sent him to death."
"His thoughts... are a bit old. It's to the point where we all frown." Zhao Zi spoke clearly like turning the pages of a book: "Some people in our organization, perhaps including King Zhao - they have fresh ideas. Pursuing a different way of saving the world.”
"But Lou Mingbi opposed the existing world order and eventually came together with us. Regardless of whether we are going forward or backward, at least our dissatisfaction with the current situation gives us a common appeal."
"This is his book of enlightenment."
"His greatest wish has always been to let a general of Jingguo hear the echoes of the old times."
"The name of the general he expected—"
Zhao Zi glanced at Kuang Ming: "It's not you, it's Yin Xiaoheng."
Kuang Ming said "Oh": "Sitting in our position, it is inevitable to offend some people. Marshal Yin may indeed have a little more enemies..."
He paused and felt a little regretful: "Just give him some more time. He is very good at killing them cleanly."
There is no need to even ask what personal disputes Lou Mingbi has with Yin Xiaoheng. It's just another poor thing whose whole family was killed by Yin Xiaoheng - Speaking of which, Yin Xiaoheng's sword is so fast and he is so decisive. Isn't there too much grass left under the sickle?
The more you kill, the more people will slip through the net?
He raised his eyelids: "It's a pity that you didn't give him time. I still can't figure out why you wanted to kill him. The establishment of Tiangong City made me think that you were going to become famous. But you ruined yourselves at this time ——Has the organization Equality never truly believed in the future? "
"I didn't have anything to say earlier, but now I want to talk. Even though Zhao Zi explained it, you didn't listen!" Sun Yin looked at Kuang Ming in front of him and said slowly: "We - at least me personally, Willing to pay any price to kill Yin Xiaoheng.”
"But Yin Xiaoheng did not die in our hands - we didn't have time to take action, and the opportunity was fleeting."
Sun Yin had no emotion: "Obviously, someone helped us seize the opportunity and imitated our battle traces thoughtfully - the country of Pingren has been in trouble for so many years, and those of us who have made more moves, it is normal for our methods to be remembered. ”
"I am a person who doesn't want to listen to what others say. I believe actions speak louder than words! You have emphasized this several times, which makes me a little bit unable to hold on! Because at this time, there is no need to make false promises." Kuang Ming raised his chin slightly: " Sun Yin, do you want me to overturn the case for you when you tell me this?"
He was a little reserved: "You can tell me the clues you know. If the truth is as you said, there is no room for change in this matter. Compared with our opponents who have clear swords and clear guns, we I hate enemies who are secretive and cunning even more!"
Of course there is no room for change.
Even Yin Xiaoheng's death is still suspicious.
Qiu Tie's death was real.
It is impossible to rebuild Tiangong City, and once it is built, it will no longer be possible to raise the flag of equality.
Those who have been swept away from the Equality Country have no possibility of resurrection.
Kuang Ming is willing to talk only because he may die today!
"Can it still turn around?" Sun Yin said in surprise: "But I really killed Qiu Tie! This butcher with bloody hands actually said that he had gone to cultivate his moral character! Can he become a Buddha if he puts down the butcher's knife? I killed him in I worshiped him on a loess platform by the Yellow River, but I didn’t see anything. Can you imagine how disappointed I was?”
Kuang Ming ignored this provocative vent and suppressed his eyes: "I might as well say bluntly that the order to hunt down the equal countries cannot be withdrawn. This involves the face of the Central Empire. But the intensity of execution is... It’s up to you to arrest him but not suppress him, which is no different from what you did before—provided you can really prove that you didn’t kill Yin Xiaoheng.”
"You don't need to prove that we killed Yin Xiaoheng, but we need to prove that we didn't kill Yin Xiaoheng?" Qian Chou asked with a smile.
"I need to give an explanation to the Central Hall." Kuang Ming's tone was as calm as possible: "Since you are willing to sit down and talk, you must adopt a negotiating attitude. Needless anger is not the way to solve the problem."
"So we can talk about this!!" Sun Yin laughed wildly: "In your Jingguo, a real person died, a river official who regulated the river! We can also talk about it!!!"
"Jiang Wang, the Heguan before Qiu Tie, killed six at once, and they finished talking calmly." Zhao Zi reminded from the side: "Of course, that was under the watchful eyes of many signatories on the Taixu Covenant. We There’s no one standing behind you.”
"We still have to pull off the tiger's skin!" Qian Chou lamented.
"Isn't it because we can't get the tiger's skin and can't play with them under their rules that we are reduced to a country of equals?" Sun Yin laughed.
Kuang Ming has discovered that the three guardians in front of him have deep malice towards Jing Guo. This is not the attitude to talk about at all.
"If you don't want to talk, then what's the point of explaining to me whether you killed Yin Xiaoheng?" When it came time to decide between life and death, Kuang Ming never flinched. He clenched the iron fist and said, "Come on, what is Lou Ming?" Bi's book of enlightenment, Zhao Zi's world, Qian Chou's stall, and you Sun Yin - let me see how you kill me!"
"Zhao Zi will explain to you that she doesn't like to be wronged by nature. And I will explain to you that I just want you to die clearly." Sun Yin did not argue at this time: "Maybe we are not the only ones who want you to die. ?”
His voice was like the whisper of an evil spirit: "Think about it, who have you offended? Why was the Equality Congress framed and we were forced into this situation? Why did it happen to be you who had problems along the way? Who gave us the intelligence!"
Kuang Ming was silent.
During this time, he did feel unprecedented danger.
Within the entire Central Empire, the tense atmosphere is about to break out!
He had already understood - maybe they were experiencing an important era, and the key node in history would come at any time, but he didn't know who would be destined to witness it, and who would have the last laugh?
He took a deep breath: "About you Yin Xiaoheng."
"You said you were willing to pay any price to kill Yin Xiaoheng." Kuang Ming looked at Sun Yin. That stupid tiger head mask always made him look like he was seeing a very lively child: "I want to know ,Why?"
Why?
Sun Yin also often asks himself, why!
When he was still You Que, still known as "You Jinglong", when he was broken-hearted and ruined, coughing up blood all the way back to Tianjing, when he was reduced to a useless person and returned to Taiping Mansion in a daze, he didn't ask Why.
He always felt that he was useless.
War is the most cruel thing in the world, and the battlefield is the most cruel place in the world, but he can't be cruel.
Bearing the honor of his family and the rise and fall of his government, he was unable to disobey the military orders.
He gritted his teeth and killed, but he couldn't resist his conscience.
He can't resist anything, he is so weak!
He believed that he had failed the Emperor's expectations and the Dragon Lord's approval, and was not worthy of the name "Shocking Dragon".
He believed that the reason why his heart was broken in Yewangcheng was that he was not strong enough or determined enough. Not a real strong man!
Until one day, someone came to his door and told him that there was a huge conspiracy in the King's City of Broken Heart of the Traveling Dragon.
Until the man asked him - have you ever been recruited by Yizhendao?
He just started to ask——
Why?
Why him alone?
Only then did he slowly recall many things.
Everything in the past has its traces.
He thought that throughout the entire battle of Jingguo's Defeat, what he had seen and experienced one after another was actually no accident. There had always been an invisible hand strangling him, tightening his heart step by step, until he reached Yewang City. That explosion!
He thought that not only had he refused Yizhendao's solicitation, but he had also informed Jingshitai immediately!
During that time, there were many more people of all kinds around him, and he was searched many times inside and out. During that time, a large number of suspected members of "Isshin" were arrested, and he also gained a long period of peace.
In retrospect, that might have been the source of the disaster.
The fall of You Jinglong is the revenge of Yizhen Dao!
His broken Taoist heart is a wake-up call in the shadows.
Kill a chicken named "You Que" to warn all those who don't give in!
