Chapter 206
Chapter 206
Yiqiu still remembers how distorted the night sky of Snake Mountain was when she saw Yi Niao for the last time.
Five-color spirits are rare in the world, and they mostly appear on fairy mountains isolated from the world. They should also symbolize holiness and beauty. The moment was out of control.
Today, that kind of spiritual light reappeared, it was still stained with demonic energy, but it no longer had the terrifying and treacherous feeling on the Night Snake Mountain.
The colorful bird flew from afar, and that non-glare aura illuminated the entire dark world with her arrival.
Yiqiu stood there in a daze, the vigilance in her heart was almost fleeting, and disappeared when she saw a familiar figure sitting on the side of Yiniao.
Under Luo Mingyuan's vigilant gaze, the huge multicolored bird folded its wings to cover its body, transformed into a human appearance, and slowly landed on the ground along with the person on its back in the spiritual light.
If it wasn't for the land, and if Yiqiu hadn't known it, he would almost think that this is the goddess descending from the earth, not the fallen demon who escaped into the demon world.
The woman walking in front was undoubtedly the Zhao Yun who had known her once, or in other words, that was actually Mu Shen Jumang who had rebelled against the heaven.
Today's Chaoyun has already released his divine power seal, shed his mortal body, and changed back to his former appearance. If he hadn't seen that appearance in paintings and dreams, Yiqiu might not have recognized it.
Yiqiu originally thought that seeing Mu Shen again should be like in the novel, like a puppet who tramples himself like mud for love, willing to do everything against his heart for the one he loves, cowardly and helpless in self-struggle. There was no more light.
But now, what she saw was not like that.
Chaoyun appeared, followed the spiritual power released by Fusang to the distance, and came in front of everyone.
Her gaze was extremely firm, as if she had already understood what she was about to face, and she had already made some kind of determination.
And Chao Yun's side followed the Yi Niao Yu Su who was once paranoid and almost slaughtered thousands of living beings in Snake Mountain.
This is the first time Yiqiu sees this woman so closely outside the painting.
In the original text, Yu Su is a paranoid and vicious existence. For her own selfish desires, she can hurt tens of thousands of innocent creatures. Dust.
The heinous crime she committed has no redemption for death, and she has no intention of repenting herself, so it is impossible to feel any mercy for her.
At that time, in the comment section of the article, there were always people looking forward to her death soon.
However, today, Yiqiu feels that the person in front of him is extremely quiet, so quiet that he doesn't seem to be aggressive at all.
This kind of Yu Su is very much like the bird that used to bring small gifts to the wood god in the blue sea every day. It is docile and well-behaved, as if it has been counting on the protagonist, throwing demon seeds, tricking dogs to burn mountains, and It seems that the vicious people who want to trap people in nightmares never existed.
But how could it never exist?
Those who have been hurt will never forget the past.
Yiqiu could obviously feel the hatred in Luo Mingyuan's eyes, but he had to suppress it with all his might, because in today's world, his personal grievances are nothing compared to the survival of the world.
And in the final analysis, the wooden god Jumang who can protect the bird is the only hope in the world today.
Thinking of the resolute look in his eyes when the bruised and bruised young man gritted his teeth and said that he would avenge his parents a long time ago, Yi Qiu didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
But at this moment, the towering Fusang suddenly appeared a spirit, and the spirit turned all the branches and trees into spiritual power and collected them into the body.
The moment the giant tree disappeared in the spiritual light, Jiang Yuyao also walked out from the slowly dissipating spiritual light.
Jiang Yuyao stood in front of Luo Mingyuan who no longer needed her protection as he did every time he protected his younger brother in the past, and clenched his fisted right hand, as if to calm the anger in his heart.
She quietly looked at the familiar face in front of her—at least, in Fusang's memory, this face was extremely familiar to her.
Yiqiu also doesn't understand, why old people always like to look at each other for a long time when they meet again, as if they don't understand each other, some lines can't be said at all.
Fortunately, this kind of staring didn't last long, and Chao Yun opened his mouth first.
She said, "You're here..."
Jiang Yuyao seemed to have heard some joke, couldn't help laughing at himself twice, and then responded: "Should I say this?"
There was somewhat questioning and resentment in her eyes.
She didn't understand, or in other words, she actually understood, but it was hard to accept.
Gou Mang is the god who protects her. There was no Golden Crow in this world, not long after Pangu split the world.
She was trapped in the blue sea for thousands of years by her roots, branches and leaves, and Jumang was always with her.
In this life, Gou Mang came to the world for her, became her junior sister Chao Yun, and even treated her like a family member since childhood.
Both Gou Mang and Chao Yun are friends she cares about very much. It is difficult for her to accept that the friend she once cherished so much will one day turn her back on the heavens, abandon the world, and even the world for a person who hurt her and Luo Mingyuan. left her.
Love in the world, in fact, Jiang Yuyao also understands that anyone will have all the selfishness and impulse to give up for one person, and the final choice is all due to a single thought, and blame is useless.
But Jiang Yuyao just wanted to see Chaoyun face to face again and ask her a question.
"Gumang, don't you want to protect Fusang anymore?"
"Actually, Fusang doesn't need Jumang's protection for a long time, doesn't it?"
"You are the wood god of the heavens, and you are in charge of the spring of all things in the two realms of heaven and man. Your willful actions have brought disaster to the world, do you know that?"
"I can see that."
"Chaoyun, should I still call you that? You once told me that right and wrong, good and evil come from the heart, that power is good when used for protection, and evil when used for destruction. I always remember...your power , is the innate power to protect the world."
Jiang Yuyao blushed slightly, frowned and took two steps forward, persistently asking, "You have never regretted letting the common people suffer because of your departure?"
Yiqiu couldn't help being surprised, she always thought these words were Jiang Yuyao's own thoughts, but only now did she realize that it was Zhao Yun who said them.
Why would a god who can say these words commit such a crime for just one person...
"Regret..." Chao Yun said, under Yu Su's somewhat disappointed gaze, he chuckled softly, "Regret that my decision came too late to cause today's disaster."
She said, holding Yu Su's hand, "I should have made a choice from the very beginning, instead of blindly avoiding and trying to prevent everything from happening."
"Your choice is to disregard the common people for the sake of one person?" Yi Qiu couldn't help asking, but at that moment, You Yan pinched his shoulders and necks. He was still angry one second, and quickly shrank his neck the next second. She turned around and glanced in surprise, "You Yan..."
You Yan shook his head and didn't say anything, but that look obviously wanted Yi Qiu to watch quietly and not speak.
Yi Qiu pursed her lips, frowned, and stopped talking.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun was not angry, but held Yu Su who was frowning at his side, and said calmly: "If a husband has a devil's heart, there will be endless floods in the world, and disasters will be like a devil's heart, and the world will be a sea of flames.
I cross the one I love just so she can find her way back before it becomes a catastrophe, and I know what I'm doing. "
Luo Mingyuan asked: "Do you really know what you are doing?"
"I have always been a cowardly person. I know what I want to do, but I am indecisive. A long time ago, I saved a person against everyone's will. Although no one knew that I did it, I blamed myself for a long time. A soft heart will eventually lead to catastrophe, because she has become a feared monster... But after a long time, I saw her again."
As Chao Yun said, he looked at You Yan, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and continued, "She is really as I thought at the beginning, not as heinous as others said."
Zhao Yun said that that person has experienced so much suffering that she is almost unacceptable to the world. Maybe she did climb to the pinnacle of power through the mountains of corpses and blood, but she still has a trace of goodwill towards the world.
She thought that that kindness might come from the little girl next to that person who was always by his side no matter when and where—
That girl is all the kindness in her heart, just like a husband who fights against evil, it is all the light and goodwill in the world.
She had seen with her own eyes a person who had suffered so much, experienced so much helplessness, and finally possessed the power of revenge to return to the light and embrace the goodness of the world. How could she give up on a person who lost his way—not to mention, that People are what she loves.
She said that she had been thinking that if she hadn't chosen to escape from the beginning, maybe everything would not have become what it is today.
Fortunately, she managed to prevent or make up for some mistakes with her meager efforts. Whether it was a fire in the Xianlu Gate, the Jinwu's Ninth Nightmare, or the unfinished spirit-absorbing forbidden technique when Snake Mountain fell into the devil, she never failed. Let Yu Su really cause a catastrophe.
Last time, she hesitated and regretted it, but this time, she firmly believed that she was right.
She awakened Yu Su who was controlled by the demon, and Yu Su was willing to respect her choice this time.
"What about the people who died because of this? How innocent are the people who were murdered by demons?" Jiang Yuyao asked through gritted teeth, "Chaoyun, there are only three of us in Bihai. Even if you don't mention the past, Ming Yuan is also your junior in this life. so……"
"That was indeed Yu Su's fault, but everything was caused by me, and I am willing to bear everything. Since I brought Yu Su here, I have the intention of repaying this blood debt."
As Chao Yun said, he took a half step forward calmly, "Junior brother... Or, I should call you Jinwu. Yu Su hurt your adoptive father and adoptive mother in this life. I will bring her here today and let you punish him. I will bear all the punishments together with you." , even if it is this life, if you say a word, we have no complaints."
"Why would I want your life!" Luo Mingyuan said this, but after a few seconds of stalemate, he finally suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, and said in a low voice, "If you want to atone for your sin, then go back to the heaven to receive the punishment, from now on... "
"Back to the heaven, will the heaven let her go?" Chaoyun asked softly, holding Yu Su's hand tightly, and replied, "No, the heaven will only leave me and let me live to commit crimes for myself. Make atonement for your mistakes."
"I can plead for her..."
"You don't know your father. The Heavenly Emperor will not allow demons to blaspheme the gods. For tens of thousands of years, too many demon spirits have died due to the laws of the heavens...
I told Yu Su that from now on, I am willing to live and die with her. If she dies, I will never live alone. "
"You don't want to go back?" A trace of surprise flashed in Luo Mingyuan's eyes.
"I won't go back." Chao Yun said firmly.
Such an answer is nothing more than anger and panic, but what is left in the end is only deep helplessness.
Yiqiu can't help thinking, when it comes to love, hate and righteousness, no one is qualified to make choices for others, let alone they were the closest friends.
Although, always selfish and salty, she always hopes that there will be a hero who can stand up to save the world at a critical moment, and then she will be filled with tears for his sacrifice.
But she knew that if someone told You Yan at this moment that killing her would save the common people, You Yan would only give him a sneer.
If You Yan had surfed the Internet before, maybe he would say: "Are you thinking about farts?"
So if it's her, the system tells her that sacrificing You Yan can save the collapsed world described by the little bird Gu Gu Fei, otherwise the common people will be in a desperate situation...
If it was the time when she first came here, maybe she could really make a choice without thinking about it, but now, she doesn't dare to face such a difficult problem at all.
She will be afraid of choosing, afraid of losing what she loves for righteousness, and even more afraid of committing a lifetime of guilt for what she loves.
Because of this, she didn't even dare to say anything, she just lowered her eyes and silently watched everything in front of her.
"You said that you crossed a person only to prevent her from causing a catastrophe, but to you, what does it mean to cause a catastrophe?
Could it be that only the brutal killing of ferocious beasts and demons is a catastrophe?If the world falls into famine in the future, people exchange their children for food, and corpses are scattered all over the city, if you make such a choice for her, won’t it cause a catastrophe..."
Jiang Yuyao's voice became lower and lower. Although she was not the one who had to make the final choice, she gradually lost her confidence, "I... I know, I understand, you understand your choice, but... but Jumang, the world cannot lose you..."
As Jiang Yuyao spoke, he couldn't help biting his lower lip, clenched his fists and said nothing, as if he was in some kind of psychological struggle.
Maybe now that she is a god, she should force the person in front of her to submit for the sake of the common people. She has thousands of words to stand at the highest point and shake him, but her tone is almost pleading.
"What the human world wants is the growth of all things and the rotation of the seasons, not the wood god Jumang. I promised Yu Su that I would never leave her again, but I will not evade my responsibilities either."
Chaoyun said, "Fusang, the exit of the land boundary, is guarded by the gods who are waiting to catch me back. I don't want to see them, I just want to see you...I've been waiting for you, I knew you would come."
"..." Jiang Yuyao's eyes were a little dazed, as if he couldn't understand what Zhao Yun said at the moment.
However, Zhao Yun said with a slight smile: "The heaven and the earth gave birth to me, and I should have been born for the heaven and the earth, but the vegetation can move, the rocks can turn, and I am not a dead thing, how can I be ruthless and desireless, let myself live and die without worry By yourself?"
"I originally thought that when Yu Su repented, I would take her back to the heaven to apologize. Even if there was only a one in a million chance, I was willing to bear everything for her. I just asked the heaven to let her live and let her stay with me. side of...
But I am getting more and more afraid, afraid that if I take her back and stay with her for the rest of my life, it is just a lie;
I am afraid that she will be punished by the heavens for trusting me, but she will never see me again; I am even more afraid that that parting will be a farewell that I cannot change..."
As she spoke, she turned and looked up at the starless and moonless sky.
"I used to think that I never wavered in the matter of protecting the common people, but most of the time, the wavering was only in a single thought... So, I am more and more sure that I can die with her, but I cannot be separated from her."
At this point, Chao Yun turned around and said with a smile, "But it's okay, as I said, I will not evade my responsibilities."
"You..." Jiang Yuyao frowned, and for some reason, her breathing became a little heavy unconsciously.
"There are always many forbidden techniques that people despise in the world of monsters and demons, but power has always been about the choice between good and evil, isn't it?"
As Zhao Yun said, relief flashed in his eyes, "Senior sister, I call you this way, can you take this life for the rest of my life, I am just a mortal who lives for myself...Ordinary people can always be a bit willful?"
"Chaoyun!"
"There are no stars and no moon in the world, and there are many plants and flowers in the world, because some powers are all gathered in the hands of the gods of the heavens.
However, if the peace of the Three Realms can be easily determined by one person's will, then the so-called guardian may suddenly become a destroyer in a certain day and night..."
As Chao Yun said, he murmured softly, "The Three Realms shouldn't be like this..."
"I can't change anything. I hope that one day, you can change all of this."
It should not be an illusion, Yiqiu saw a trace of determination in Chaoyun's eyes that had never appeared in those gentle eyes.
In the next second, the surrounding aura suddenly rose, illuminating this dark and cold magic land instantly.
When Xu Shicai was talking just now, Chaoyun and Yusu had quietly formed a huge magic circle that made people feel very strange, taking advantage of everyone's inattention.
You Yan next to him was indifferent, Yiqiu subconsciously channeled spiritual energy to protect himself, but found that this formation didn't have any attack power.
She looked back at Youyan in a daze, only to find that countless new shoots of vegetation had unknowingly sprouted around her, as if the spring of the world had also come to this dark and dark world of the devil.
In the magic circle, the devilish energy was astonishingly strong, but none of it was used to hurt people.
All this happened too suddenly, I saw the Yi bird suddenly turned into a flying bird, flying and circling in the air, attracting the power of thousands of ghosts to gather here slowly with five-color spiritual light.
And Chaoyun also spread his wings, and dazzling light lingered all over his body, as if he was burning himself, giving birth to every plant and tree in the magic circle.
"Chaoyun, Chaoyun, what are you doing!" Jiang Yuyao took half a step forward subconsciously, only to find that his lower body was bound by the vines growing from the ground.
The new shoots and vine branches on the ground continued to grow, and in just a short moment, they were like a prison, completely swallowing it.After a while, it was forced out of its original shape and turned into a giant tree.
But the rattan branch never let her go, winding up the tree like thousands of spirit snakes, enveloping her heavily.
Luo Mingyuan wanted to block it, but was stopped by You Yan in front of Fei: "Boy, this is not a killing formation, can't you see it?"
"I..." Luo Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then asked impatiently, "What the hell is this?"
"Looking at the shape of this magic circle, it should be the retrograde method of the forbidden technique "Spirit Gathering Formation" in the demon world. "
"What do you mean?" Yi Qiu asked without understanding.
"Spirit Gathering Formation, as the name suggests, gathers spiritual power within oneself, and is usually used to deprive others of their cultivation." You Yan frowned, "Reverse, vice versa."
"She...they..." Yi Qiu couldn't help but widen her eyes, full of disbelief.
