After staring and being silent, Emperor Sui spoke again.
"Zhou Qing, is this your name?"
"Yes."
Zhou Qing nodded, with complicated emotions in his heart.
The Sui Emperor is undoubtedly powerful. Among the ten immortals in the world, she is the number one. She has the record of destroying the top Taoism and breaking the immortal weapons alone, and she is the only one in the world.
That was her performance in the early stages of becoming an immortal. Now, after practicing for so many years, no one knows how strong she is.
Because no one in the world dares to fight her.
But here in Zhou Qing, the perception of Emperor Sui was different.
Although he had heard about how powerful Sui Emperor was before, Zhou Qing's impression of her still remained on the dying mute little half-demon.
Although he was unwilling to do so, his life had indeed come to an end, and Luo Miaomiao missed his relatives when he was dying.
Now alive, the majestic Sui Emperor appeared in front of him, catching Zhou Qing off guard.
Before Zhou Qing's identity was exposed, he resisted entering the Shanhai area and thought it would be better not to meet Emperor Sui as much as possible.
This was not only for his own safety, but also because Zhou Qing actually never knew how to face the Phoenix Immortal.
The contrast between Luo Miaomiao's image and Suidi's image is really big.
“You remember me, right?”
Emperor Sui said softly: "I did not find the wrong person. You also remember what happened five hundred and thirty-seven years ago."
When Emperor Sui saw Zhou Qing for the first time, he was sure that he was looking for Wu That person for more than a hundred years, at the same time, based on Zhou Qing's reaction, she was extremely sure that the other person also knew about that matter.
Zhou Qingwuyan, you remember it so clearly, it’s so accurate.
But when Zhou Qing first heard the news about Emperor Sui, it was when she destroyed the top Taoist ancient temple five hundred years ago.
Now nine years have passed since I first heard the news about Emperor Sui. In the real world, five hundred and thirty-seven minus nine is equal to five hundred and twenty-eight.
Emperor Sui's attack on the Ancient Shrine happened when she had just become an immortal. In other words, twenty-eight years had passed since Zhou Qing received the bottle from Emperor Sui until she became an immortal.
When Banyao Sui was dying, the drift bottle appeared. When she came into contact with Zhou Qing, Emperor Sui was twelve years old.
After making a quick calculation in his mind, Zhou Qing was a little surprised.
Emperor Sui only practiced cultivation for twenty-eight years at most, but he became an immortal before he was forty years old? !
Zhou Qing has actually been practicing for more than eleven years, and is now in the dual-path Daluo Heaven realm. However, his family knows his own affairs, and he can only achieve such an achievement by cheating.
But what about Emperor Sui?
It only took twenty-eight years to go from a dying half-demon to an immortal... This is definitely cheating, right?
Furthermore, Sui Di survived the calamity of death at the age of twelve and survived tenaciously, but her second nirvana bone did not grow well for a long time.
During that period, she did not have the blessing of the Nirvana Bone, so her cultivation speed would be reduced. It was not until the second Nirvana Bone was completely regenerated that her talent truly returned and surpassed the past.
But even in such a state, he became an immortal in just twenty-eight years...
So scary!
Is this the protagonist of the Xuanhuang Realm?
Compared to other people, it is already a commendable thing to be able to complete the cultivation of the heavenly realm in twenty-eight years.
How quickly does a normal person become an immortal? Zhou Qing also knew the precedents in history.
Generally speaking, the age of 100 is used as the line. Most immortals ascend to immortality before they are 100 years old. Only a few are late bloomers and can still take this step after they are 100 years old.
But Emperor Sui suddenly advanced to before the age of forty?
When he thought of Emperor Sui's own experience, Zhou Qing became convinced of one thing.
It’s true, this is the previous generation protagonist of Xuanhuang Realm.
These thoughts are fleeting and happen between breaths. Zhou Qing himself hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I do remember you when you were twelve years old, but you had white hair then...different from your white hair now."
The white hair that Suidi had when she was twelve years old was the whiteness of an old person in the world. It was because her Nirvana bones were dug out and her body was severely depleted. It was a sign that her life had come to an end, just like a mortal who was about to die of old age. .
Now Emperor Sui's hair is also white, but it is extremely shiny and hazy. Not only does it not have the air of twilight, but it adds a unique style.
Zhou Qing’s words obviously admitted that what Sui Emperor had encountered was related to him.
Because at this time, I am a tough talker. If I have to deny it, there is no point.
Could it be that if Zhou Qing doesn’t admit it, Emperor Sui will ignore him?
Of course this is impossible.
People have come to me and made certain remarks. If I say something harsh, it would be very clumsy.
And Zhou Qing now has the [Original Cave Heaven] in his hands, with All Saints Academy behind him, and he is not afraid that Emperor Sui will be unfavorable to him.
Safety is guaranteed, and confidence is naturally sufficient.
What's more, Emperor Sui didn't look like he wanted to harm him.
It's prudent to be cautious, but if you suffer from paranoia, it's not necessary.
Hearing this, the Sui Emperor showed a slight smile on his snow-white face, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
If they were in the Phoenix clan, then most of the Phoenix would be shocked when they saw this scene.
Except for someone like Xi, few people have seen Emperor Sui smile.
Why is she called an emperor by everyone in the world when she becomes an immortal?
Because she is really like an aloof, unpredictable, indifferent emperor with life and death in hand.
Her childhood experiences had a great impact on Suidi, making her suffer and become indifferent.
When she becomes an immortal, she will be further away from the world.
"I was rescued by you and got a chance of life. Later, after I achieved something, I have been looking for you."
There was a Zhou Qing look in Emperor Sui's eyes. She didn't understand the glory, she said softly: "After more than five hundred years, I finally found you, finally..."
Why does your tone sound wrong?
Zhou Qing said carefully: "You don't actually need to look for me, I didn't do anything back then."
I just replied a letter to you, we are just pen pals, pen pals.
Emperor Sui stared at Zhou Qing, his eyes fixed, as if he wanted to carve him into the depths of her soul, or in other words, he had already been imprinted on the deepest part of her soul, but now she was just comparing and missing him.
She said: "Do you want to hear what happened that day?"
Zhou Qing was silent. He really couldn't guess what Emperor Sui was thinking.
Looking very happy one moment, and telling him a story the next?
What does she want to do?
After thinking about it, Zhou Qing said:
“On the day we got in touch, I didn’t actually go to the Phoenix Clan in person. I was far away from there. I just used a special method. I have intersection and communication with you.”
"I know, so I want to talk to you about what happens next."
"It's not appropriate to talk about this in the wilderness, so why not talk about it in the academy?"
"It's better to change to another place."
Emperor Sui didn't make any move, but the next second, they appeared by a river that was flowing quietly.
It is not an academy, but it is not far from the academy. Zhou Qing has passed by here before.
Emperor Sui looked at the flowing river and didn't care about anything else. He opened his red lips and uttered clear words one by one.
“That day, I had a premonition that I was about to die, and I was waiting for death to come, but I was very unwilling to do so. The closer death came, the more unwilling I became.”
Zhou Be still and listen, he knows this.
The drifting wish bottle is mainly formed by the wishes of living beings.
If the half-demon-year-old could really face death calmly, fully accept the ending, and wait for death, then naturally there would be no chance of forming a wish bottle.
At that age, he should be the person who knows best in the world.
“But at that time, I was just a half-demon with empty origin and extinguished blood. My unwillingness and my resentment had no effect. They were as light as dust and could not shake anything. I knew that there was no such thing in the world. Miracle, I will die in that thatched hut, and the body will be discarded casually by them the next day.”
The weak screams like a mosquito!
"But I was wrong, there are indeed miracles in the world, and they happened to me."
Emperor Sui turned his head to look at Zhou Qing, his eyes bursting with astonishing brilliance.
"You are a miracle."
Zhou Qing's scalp was numb when Emperor Sui looked at him.
The First Immortal talking to him like this made him feel something bad.
The most indifferent boss in the world suddenly becomes talkative in front of you. Uncharacteristically, it always feels like he will talk to you heart-to-heart first, and then kill you in the next second...
“When my consciousness was blurred and about to collapse, your voice rang in my ears and told me the story of the little stone.”
"..."
Zhou Qing was speechless. At that time, he was writing the story to Emperor Sui on the wish paper. He didn't expect that when he got to Emperor Sui, the "physical book" turned into an "audio book"!
When he thought that he had told a "before death" story to the twelve-year-old Emperor Sui after more than five hundred years, Zhou Qing felt a little confused.
“At the same time as Xiaoshi’s story, the power from you was injected into my body, giving me a glimmer of life.”
“The exhausted source of nirvana, since At that time, hope was reborn, and the power of life appeared in me again." Zhou Qing didn't know this.
Because the golden finger of the [Drifting Wish Bottle] asked Zhou Qing to return his wish, he could only write something on the wish paper to return the wish, but he could not return the wish with any physical treasure. It was not that he was unwilling, but Goldfinger does not support it.
He really wanted to help the half-demon at that time, but he didn't know how to do it. He could only hope that his wish would help her.
Now it seems that the [Drifting Wish Bottle] golden finger is indeed mutually beneficial.
Zhou Qing first obtained the wish paper recording the wish and the accompanying treasures. After fulfilling the wish, Gold Finger will take the wish paper and other benefits to the wishing Lord to repay the wishing Lord.
There is no need for him to give out treasures, the golden finger of [Drifting Wish Bottle] will be given automatically.
After confirming that he had indeed helped Sui Emperor and let her survive, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, he is considered a lifesaver, right? You can't repay kindness with hatred, can you?
“After getting your help, my body, which was already weak and about to die, regained its vitality and gained strength. I crawled out of the home that was more like a kennel.”
Emperor Sui's voice became increasingly erratic, as if he was about to be blown away by the wind when he left his mouth.
"I don't want to die, but my belief in living has never been so firm."
"After my father was killed and my Nirvana bone was dug away, no one in the Phoenix clan cared about me anymore. Me, I am a weed that no one cares about."
"No one has ever had expectations for me. , everyone knows that I can't live, I will definitely die, who would expect a dead person's future..."
"Zhou Qing, you are the only one"
Emperor Sui kept his eyes on Zhou Qing and never left, but he felt that he couldn't bear the brilliance.
I am the only one...
"I am unwilling and resentful, but in fact, I am about to give up. I am really tired, very tired, and living is really tiring. It is the most painful thing."< br>
“But you let me know that there are still people in the world who care about me, hope that I can survive, and hope that I can become an immortal, even if you were a stranger I had never met before.”
“You gave me a second life, you gave me hope, and you still expected so much from me. My desire to live is stronger than ever before. When I have nothing and when I am about to die, there is still nothing left in this world. Someone has not given up on me, so how can I live up to your expectations?”
“You said that without that bone, I can still become an immortal...”
"I did it, I didn't let you down."
Looking into Emperor Sui's eyes and listening to Emperor Sui's words, Zhou Qing felt heavy in his heart. He probably understood Emperor Sui's psychology.
First of all, it must be clear that in the eyes of Emperor Sui, Zhou Qing, even though his cultivation is only in the heaven realm, is not a descendant. She does not despise Zhou Qing because of his cultivation.
On the contrary, Zhou Qing's identity is still somewhat "senior" to Emperor Sui.
Emperor Sui is now a "junior".
Maybe this is the contrast.
Zhou Qing indeed only appeared in this era, but Emperor Sui and Zhou Qing had formed a causal relationship more than five hundred years ago and saved her life.
Their relationship began more than five hundred years ago and continues to this day. It cannot be viewed in terms of the normal relationship between the fairyland and the heaven. Zhou Qing is no lower than Sui Di.
After clarifying this point, it is actually possible to speculate on Emperor Sui's psychology.
Looking back at Suidi's life, he lost his Nirvana bone when he was six years old. At that time, Luo Miaomiao's life was still one, but he fell from heaven to hell in one fell swoop.
Who would have imagined that the now invincible Emperor Sui could not even eat enough between the ages of six and twelve, and even had nothing to eat at all. At the beginning, it was okay, with some leftover food. .
But when we got to the back, there was no leftover food. Even the rancid food only had a small amount. We needed to eat grass and leaves.
The Phoenix clan has no shortage of this food, and even discussing food issues in front of this kind of clan sounds a bit funny, but the Phoenix clan is so big that they just can't tolerate one more bite.
There is still a lot of work to do every day. Some things are meaningless at all, but they have to be done by Sui. She takes pleasure in making things difficult for her. She cannot wear a new dress in six years, and every piece of clothing has been sewn. Mended, mended and sewed.
I was often beaten and scolded, bullied by others, thrown with stones, burned with fire... The scars on my body were so severe that anyone would be shocked to see them.
There are also the sequelae of having the Nirvana bone taken away, the backlash from the origin. At the beginning, my whole body was in excruciating pain every day. I didn’t even have the strength to roll on the ground. I was dying. Every time the injury occurred, I waited with my eyes open. The process of dying.
On those nights when bone-digging injuries occurred one after another, Sui himself didn’t know how he persisted.
Those six years were a hell within hell.
It is impossible for an adult to bear it, let alone a child.
If the half-demon's body was not quite special, and the Phoenix bloodline in her body could bring some help to Sui Emperor at the beginning, then it would be basically impossible for her to survive to the age of twelve.
If it was really an ordinary child, even if there was no Nirvana bone injury, just such living conditions would definitely lead to death.
The Phoenix bloodline in his body gave Sui the foundation to survive.
Unfortunately, when she was about to die, the Phoenix blood in her body had basically dried up.
The losses in those six years were too great, and there was no benefit at all. No bloodline could withstand such a creation.
At the same time, I have to say that fortunately the Phoenix bloodline in her body once helped Emperor Sui. Otherwise, when she became an immortal, the Phoenix clan would not be as simple as a civil strife. It is very possible that this The Phoenix Clan no longer exists in the world...
People today can imagine what Emperor Sui went through back then, but the hell in their imagination is not even one-tenth of what Emperor Sui actually experienced.
Zhou Qing saw the image of Sui when he got the drifting wish bottle. The twelve-year-old girl had no human appearance at all.
For Sui, living in those six years was really a pain, but dying was a relief.
And in front of the half-demon Sui who was sinking in such a dark hell and about to die, one day suddenly appeared a beam of light that broke through the darkness and brought warmth. A hand stretched out from the light, After catching Suidi, saving her from death, and taking her out of the dark hell, what would be the result?
That beam of light will shine in her heart for a lifetime.
This is a mark that is more indestructible than any oath or agreement.
No matter how many people later admired her, followed her, and believed in her, they were not as good as that light.
This is also true. Emperor Sui has been pursuing that light and that figure for more than five hundred years.
The invincible Emperor Sui is just a lonely little girl in front of that light.
The world is looking at my back from a distance, and I am looking at another figure.
It is no exaggeration to say that what happened that day has become the obsession in the heart of the old man who crawled out of the thatched house and the pillar of his soul.
This is even more noble than love and love, and has gone beyond the scope of normal emotions.
It sounds difficult to understand, how can a stranger who has never been masked have such a role and status?
It can be said that this is the situation at that time.
It’s better to resolve things like obsession at the beginning. The longer it is delayed, the more it will be deepened.
By now, the light in Suidi's heart, the person she had been pursuing, could be said to have been infinitely deified.
Even Zhou Qing himself may not necessarily match the impression of the figure in Emperor Sui's mind, but that person is clearly him.
If Zhou Qing dies at this time, it will be a fatal blow.
Because the dead Bai Yueguang is the most perfect Bai Yueguang...
Zhou Qing took a deep breath and felt a little stressed.
Without waiting for him to speak, Emperor Sui continued:
"On that day, in addition to being reborn, I also got a painting that could be integrated into my body."
Hers A painting floated out of his left hand.
Zhou Qing took a look and said, "Who is it? He is so handsome, so handsome that it is illegal."
It turned out to be me, that’s normal.
The person in the painting was indeed him, and Zhou Qing recognized the paper as the original wish paper, but it had changed from purple to white.
And the painting is [Born Immortal, rush! ] He was also familiar with this sentence. This was what Zhou Qing had said to encourage Emperor Sui.
What a golden finger, you actually copied me onto the painting and brought it to Emperor Sui as a souvenir.
This really hurts me.
“The face of the person in the painting has always been blurry, covered by fog, making it impossible for me to look for it based on the appearance. It was not until nine years ago that the fog lifted and the true face was revealed.”
Nine years ago...
Zhou Qing knew clearly that it was when he used the drift bottle that the painting changed.
Why couldn’t I see clearly before?
Most likely, there were five hundred years between him and Emperor Sui.
Emperor Sui's eyes were on the painting. This was a painting she had looked at countless times. She regarded it as a treasure, more important than an immortal artifact.
"Zhou Qing, although it is five hundred and thirty-seven years late, I finally see you, and I am very satisfied."
"I have become an immortal, although I still can't do what you told me about Xiao Shi That kind of thing happened, but I worked hard to survive and lived up to that new life."
Sui Di's eyes were filled with sparkling light, and his originally pale face turned rosy.
"It's just a pity. It would be better if this day could be earlier."
As he spoke, blood seeped out from the corners of Sui Emperor's mouth.
Zhou Qing was startled and immediately realized something.
The problems caused by Emperor Sui's second removal of the Nirvana Bone have not been solved at all!
The retreat of Emperor Sui was to solve this problem. Emperor Sui came out of retreat after failing to recover. This only represents one result.
This time, Emperor Sui himself was... helpless.
She is dying. (End of chapter)
