At this point in the story, the so-called "destiny" principle has gradually become clear. Destiny and the way of heaven complement each other, promote the flow of cause and effect, and all living beings are controlled by it. ¡°If fate is really irresistible, then it can be seen that when Shisheng glimpsed what seemed to be ¡®fate¡¯ in his dream on the way back to his soul, Zhiyuan was already destined to die. ¡°Perhaps she would have died in Lian Kangyang¡¯s hands as early as the battle at Peacock Village, but Shisheng tried his best to rush back half a moment in advance, which disrupted the already destined cause and effect. Just like Chen Tunan. Shisheng has always believed that man can conquer nature. He felt that he could always protect Zhiyuan and completely defeat this fate. However, he never thought that the way of heaven is an extremely complex system, and those chaotic causes and effects will eventually be restored under the control of 'fate'. Complete. Once in the Peacock Village and once in the royal palace, Shisheng changed Zhiyuan's fate twice, but he didn't expect that this third time, he would not come back in the end. And the paper kite, because of this unacceptable but necessary reason, confirms the irresistibility of fate. In this world, no one can escape their fate, because everyone struggles with their own destiny every day. And after such separation and death, will Shisheng become disheartened and give up fighting against God? Don¡¯t worry, that¡¯s something for later, we¡¯ll talk about it soon. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT Although I am completely weak. But at that time, he still sat up as quickly as possible, because at some point, he had a white mink robe stained with snow on his body. The warmth he felt when he was half asleep. It was from this robe. Shisheng stared blankly at the robe, and his heart was filled with confusion. At that moment, he subconsciously turned around and shouted: "Zhiyuan!?" Yes, this robe is exactly the same. Belongs to the paper kite. But when he turned his head. About twenty feet away from him, he only saw a weak figure. That¡¯s Xiaobai. Xiaobai sat on the ground with his hands around his knees. Putting your head on your knees, the cold winter has not passed yet. Day and night alternate here, and the cold wind blows some snow and frost. Xiaobai's shoulders were covered in white. It's obviously been a long time coming. But she didn¡¯t come over. Maybe she knew that Shisheng was filled with grief and didn¡¯t want to irritate him anymore, but she couldn¡¯t bear the concern in her heart, so she had to watch him from a distance without making a sound. After meeting Xiaobai, Shisheng's heart inevitably felt sour again. She must not be able to let go of him, and the relationship between the three of them naturally goes without saying. At this time, Zhiyuan died. In fact, Shisheng was not the only one who was sad. How can Xiaobai feel better? And after thinking about this. Shisheng lowered his head and sighed in his heart: Shisheng, Shisheng, how can you stay so depressed? Do you think the only one you feel sad about is yourself? If you don't cheer up, what about others? So, Shisheng immediately clenched his fists and punched himself hard in the face. Then he walked gently in front of Xiaobai, but Xiaobai was not sleeping soundly at all. After hearing the footsteps, She hurriedly raised her head and saw Shisheng bent down and squatting in front of her. The two equally haggard people stared at each other for a while. Xiaobai saw that Shisheng had a lot of white hair on his head overnight, and immediately said with tears in his eyes: "Brother Shisheng" Shisheng forced a smile, patted Xiaobai's shoulder, and then He whispered to her: "It's okay. I didn't worry you. I've figured it out. I'm okay." It's somewhat exaggerated to say that the hair turned white overnight, but the cold wind last night did turn a lot of Shisheng's hair white. , and you can see that his messy hair is mixed with black and white, and one-third of his hair has faded to gray, which is really eye-catching. Although I was still sad here, after waking up from a dream and getting drunk all night, Shisheng finally figured out some things. In fact, his experiences had already been hinted at in the previous three journeys, right? ???????????????????? The old demon Faming and the female ghost have suffered three lives of love disasters, but in the end they still cannot escape fate and cause and effect. Everything is doomed, isn¡¯t it? No one can escape their fate, right? Shisheng did not speak, but Zhiyuan's death made him feel intense grief and self-blame, but it did not make him feel discouraged, because he was unwilling to give up. ¡° Moreover, he cannot continue to be decadent like this. Maybe he will not win if he moves forward, but if he stays where he is, he is doomed to fail. How could he disappoint Zhiyuan and the thousands of people who lost their lives for no reason? I must avenge this revenge, and it¡¯s not just Qiao Zimu. If you want to blame yourself and cry heartbrokenly, you should wait until you understand the cause and effect of all these grudges before spending the rest of your life doing it. Maybe I still have a long, long time to live, so I am allowed to be decadent, but Not now. Because these are troubled times, and there is no room for pretense in troubled times. One night has passed, and a new day has begun. Although the kite has gone, there are still many friends waiting for them. They cannot continue to be passive. Besides, there is Xiaobai. With Zhiyuan gone, will Shisheng be able to make Xiaobai worry about him again? So, he chose to keep all the sadness in his heart. That¡¯s the kind of person he is. When Xiaobai saw Shisheng saying these words, she knew that he didn't want others to worry, but at that time she really didn't know what to say or what to do. She just looked at his messy white hair and burst into tears. She fell down, and Shisheng reached out and touched her hair, and said to her: "Do you know what I was thinking about this night?" Xiaobai shook his head blankly, and Shisheng took a deep breath. He took a breath, and then sighed: "I'm thinking, if Zhiyuan can still see it, will she be sad if she knows that we are like this now?" Xiaobai trembled, lowered his head and covered his eyes with his hands. Shisheng trembled, and Shisheng also smiled bitterly, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, smiled at her with tears in his eyes and said: "I am useless, I can't save her, but I can't let her die like this, so I have to be sad. Let's not be sad until everything is over. One day, we will meet her in another world, but not now. What we have to do now is to live well and avenge her to end all this. Do you understand? "Shisheng knew that the souls of the dead in the world would float to the underworld. Every life will have such a day. This is an endless cycle, and the paper kite went first. Although those who calm down the troubled times will have the opportunity to become an immortal, this opportunity is now useless to Shisheng, and he will not become an immortal. Because one day. He will go to the underworld with Xiaobai, where the three of them will meet again, but that reunion will not be now. Thinking of this, Shisheng smiled bitterly. And Xiaobai listened to Shisheng's words. Naturally she understood what he meant, and after a while, she finally swallowed the pain. After wiping her eyes vigorously, she bit her lower lip and nodded heavily to Shisheng, trembling: "Well, I understand! I, I won't cry anymore!" Shisheng also said gently to Shisheng. She nodded, then brushed the snow and frost off her shoulders with her hands. Maybe it¡¯s self-deception, but that¡¯s life. Time waits for no one. So after seeing the light of day, Shisheng didn't hesitate anymore. After comforting Xiaobai for a while, he walked back with her. On the way, Shisheng saw Xiaobai's footsteps caressing her gently, and then he remembered that she was still suffering from the cold, and it was really hard for her to stay with him all night, so Shisheng put the robe in his hand on Xiaobai's body. , and at the same time whispered to her: "I asked you to stay with me all night, and your illness has not recovered yet, so you should wear it." But when Shisheng put the robe on Xiaobai, he hit the robe. Suddenly something fell out of Neize's pocket. Shisheng lowered his head to look and found that it was a small sachet. After Shisheng bent down to pick up the sachet, he found that there seemed to be a round ball hidden in the sachet. Something, so he used his fingers to untie the red rope that tied his mouth and found a bead the size of a fingernail inside. This bead is like a pearl, white and crystal clear, and you can feel a faint coolness when you hold it in your hand. After seeing Shisheng taking out the bead, Xiaobai let out a long sigh, and then said softly: "The bead is still there, but Sister Zhiyuan can no longer see it." "Do you know this bead? "Although Shisheng had never seen this bead before, he felt a familiar strange aura on it. Xiaobai nodded and said to Shisheng in a hoarse and weak voice: "Well , because this is Sister Zhiyuan¡¯s favorite bead. She once told me that she can know you only because of this bead. "She can know me only because of this bead?" Shisheng was really surprised at that time, because he had never seen this bead before, so why did Zhiyuan say such things to Xiaobai? Wait, is there something missing in the memory? After Shisheng heard this, he couldn't help but reminisce about their meeting. Back then in the South China, Zhiyuan and I had only had a relationship, but that night, Liu Bolun and I were chased by Niu Abang and fled to Queshan, while Zhiyuan I went there because I wanted to escape my marriage. Later, she accidentally broke through Yunlong Temple's magic circle in the mine, thereby releasing the southern beauty Zang Wait? Mine, magic circle? Shisheng suddenly remembered this detail. It was said that Yunlong Temple was bewitched by Na Lian Kangyang and the "rebellious" monk Fasu, and wanted to raise beauty zombies in Queshan and let them become the fighting force of the South. If the worldIf I remember correctly, Yunlong Temple was able to seal Beauty Zong all by forming a magic circle with a treasure. This treasure is called ¡®Buddha Girl Ghost Tears¡¯. Thinking of this, Shisheng's heart beat wildly. Yunlong Temple suffered heavy losses in the First World War in the Southern Kingdom, and so many things happened later. Queshan was in a mess, so naturally no one had the energy to take care of where this treasure went. It turned out that , this drop of ghost tears has always been on Zhiyuan's hand. And thinking of this, Shisheng finally understood the meaning of Zhiyuan's words to Xiaobai. Yes, if she hadn't touched this tear back then, her and Shisheng's fate would not have intersected. To a certain extent, Coming up, it is not an exaggeration to say that this bead is the token of their love. It turns out that Zhiyuan has kept it close to her body for so many years, because it is her first memory with Shisheng. This is how women think. They seem to treat you casually, but how many things are hidden in their hearts that their sweethearts don¡¯t know? I saw Xiaobai saying to Shisheng: "Actually, Sister Zhiyuan talks to me about you every night. Really, sometimes you may not know that although she looks tough on the surface, her heart ¡¡± Her heart is soft, just like her love. There are some words that cannot be said out loud, and will not be known until the last life. How many long nights has Zhiyuan spent looking at this tear? ? And at this moment, Shisheng¡¯s heart is filled with sadness. He couldn't help but have another strong thought. He thought that in the map of reality, Master Yan Qian once told him that there are "five tears" in the world. And this ¡®Ghost Tears¡¯ is one of them! Thinking of this, Shisheng hurriedly opened the scroll on the back. There was still a tear on Master Monk's face, but the tear was red. Shi Sheng said nothing. He silently rolled up the scroll and thought to himself: It seems that this is not the tear I am looking for, but this tear must also have profound meaning. etc. I seem to have seen the record of this tear somewhere, yes, it seems like just yesterday! ! Yesterday, when Liu Bolun was telling him about the war to destroy the country, he took out a piece of paper. Shisheng glanced at the piece of paper at that time. I accidentally found a description of ¡®Ghost Tears¡¯ above! Thinking of this, Shisheng quickly said to Xiaobai: "Quick, let's go back!" After that, he picked up Xiaobai and ran back. By the way, Liu Bolun and the others also stayed up all night, because they were really afraid that something would happen to Shisheng because of their sadness, so Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan kept facing the other side and waiting bitterly. At this moment, Jian Shisheng and Xiaobai finally came back. . The two of them hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Shisheng, your hair?" "I've made you two worry about it. I'm fine." Shisheng smiled, and then said to the two of them: " Drunkard, where¡¯s that picture from yesterday?¡± Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan saw that Shisheng had changed so much overnight, so they naturally knew what kind of struggle he had gone through, but seeing that he didn¡¯t want to mention it anymore, the two of them started talking. He didn't say much. As a brother, he just stayed with him, so how could he expose his scars again with false affection? So, the two of them swallowed their worries. When Shisheng asked this question, Liu Bolun reached out and took out the piece of paper from his arms, and sighed: "You look like an old man now" Forget it, what do you want this picture for? Don¡¯t you know? This picture is the ¡®Bahuang Jie Dang¡¯, which is the madman¡¯s magic array created by the old demon Qin.¡± ¡°Sure enough! At that moment, Shisheng felt excited. He had felt this way before. All the clues finally came together like a puzzle. Although the 'ghost tears' left by Zhiyuan were not the three tears he was looking for, But it is an important material that makes up the "Bahuangjindang"! Speaking of the Eight Wastelands, Shisheng recalled what Taoist Priest Youyou said to him before he was about to leave the Reality Map. At that time, Taoist Priest Youyou once said that even if Shisheng did not bring the righteous enlightenment to a few people, They also have ways to defeat that 'malice'. Because sorcerer Shaopeng has already started to think of another formation that defies the heavens. This formation should be the ¡®Bahuang Judang¡¯ that was later perfected by Qin Shengfu. And is the ¡®Eight Wastelands¡¯ really just an evil formation? Probably not, because Shisheng clearly remembers that Taoist Priest Youyou called it a formation that 'can destroy everything and change everything'! Thinking of this, Shisheng quickly took the piece of paper in his hand and raised his eyes to look at it. He saw a human-shaped picture on the paper. In addition, there were several lines of words written on it: "Yin Yang Eyes, Hundreds of People's Resentment, The tears of ghosts, the skin of mother, the weapon to eliminate karma, and the soul of the uncontained, the seven weapons gather together. When the world is reversed, yin and yang are confused, the five qi suddenly change, and the way of heaven is reopened, it is called the "Eight Desolations". Shisheng looked at the few lines of words recorded on it, and he was surprised to find that he had seen everything recorded on it in these years! Yin and Yang eyes,It refers to Baiguang's yin eyes and Liu Liu's yang eyes. Hundreds of people complain. Isn't my pipe and pot called a hundred people's blame? Why did Qin Shenfu force him to hand over this thing back then? Needless to say, the ghost tears are in the hands of Shisheng now. It is said that after Liu Bolun got this formation diagram, he just glanced at it and found out that it was an evil formation so he didn't look at it any more. After that, he and Li Hanshan resisted seven waves of Tai Sui demon soldiers. Later, when Shisheng came back, so many things happened. thing, so how can the two of them have the time to study this thing? But things are different now. Seeing Shisheng staring blankly at the drawing without saying a word, Li Hanshan and Liu Bolun felt something was wrong, so they also stepped forward to observe carefully. After looking at it for a while, they saw Li Hanshan's expression suddenly changed. , and then exclaimed: "Why does the thing on this look so familiar? The mother's skin, is it the ghost mother's skin? That is" Having said this, Li Hanshan took out something from his clothes. It was the piece of crystal skin and flesh that he had acquired when he was almost taken away by Tai Sui. It should be said that all the records on the drawings of the Eight Wastelands are the most precious spiritual objects in the world, so when he mentioned the 'Mother's Skin', Li Hanshan Naturally, I thought of Tai Sui's skin. And his speculation is not impossible. Liu Bolun said: "How can it be such a coincidence? Wait, isn't this 'Karma Eliminating Sword' the iron sword of Senior Brother Tunan? Damn it, then this 'Wuzai Soul' What is it again?" "That's right, there is only one 'karma-eliminating sword' in the world that can kill people without causing karma, and this sword was obtained by Chen Tunan from the Glazed Treasure House. When it comes to 'Wuzai Soul' ¡¯, I saw Shisheng without saying a word, pulling out a lychee-sized glass bead with fluorescent fluid inside from his arms. This is the soul left behind after the death of Yin Changsheng, the king of Yin in the underworld. After the rebellion of the Yin King subsided, Zhong Shengjun gave this bead to Shisheng. According to Guan Lingquan's description at the time, this was the soul that was not 'recorded'. . A drop of cold sweat broke out on Shisheng's head. He really didn't expect that in the more than ten years since he entered the world, he had unknowingly obtained all the materials on the "Eight Wastelands". Is this also the destiny of cause and effect? Shisheng was not sure, but hope did appear in his heart at that time, just because of Taoist Priest Youyou's words, this formation can destroy everything, and it can also change everything. If everything can really be changed, thenwhy don't I try my best to give it a try? Thinking of this, a bold and extremely dangerous plan began to quietly brew in Shisheng's heart. If Taoist Priest Youyou hadn't lied to him, then the Eight Desolations might be everyone's last trump card.
