Chapter 655 Phoenix Nirvana
Outside the secret room.
The wind was strong and the thunder was roaring.
The dark clouds in the dark sky surged like a tsunami, and a series of heart-stopping electric lights flashed across, like the silver sword left by the gods, tearing the night sky into broken curtains.
Inside the secret room.
As the flames burned stronger and stronger, Zhao Yan's figure gradually became blurred in the dazzling golden-red light.
A few hours later, in a ball of light and shadow as brilliant as fireworks, she completely disappeared.
Only a pool of black ashes was left on the originally spotless futon.
Gu Xu silently watched the scene in front of him, the expression on his face not wavering at all.
He knew that Zhao Yan's breakthrough had reached the most critical step.
If you succeed, you will soar into the sky; if you fail, you will disappear into ashes.
During this process, he could not help her and could only silently support her mentally.
She can only rely on herself to verify her own way.
About three days and three nights passed.
The area of nearly a thousand miles with Luojing as the center has been shrouded in a downpour as if the apocalypse is coming.
The world was dim and fell into chaos.
But in the secret room, there was deathly silence.
Only Gu Xu remained as motionless as a sculpture, waiting quietly on the side of the black ashes.
Suddenly, a clear and loud phoenix cry sounded in his ears.
Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the futon in front of him.
I saw dazzling flames suddenly bursting out again on the dead black ashes.
It is like a wild dancer, dragging colorful dresses and constantly spinning and jumping.
It was like a roaring beast, waving its huge fiery red wings, spitting out long tongues of fire, kissing the ceiling of the secret room, and licking the blue clothes on Gu Xu's body.
Glowing embers curled up from the smoke screen, like countless newborn fireflies, flying in all directions.
This is undoubtedly a dangerous and terrifying picture.
But in Gu Xu's eyes, it showed surging vitality, beautiful and moving.
As the flames engulfed the entire room, a golden phoenix rose from the ashes.
Its wings are broad and powerful, dragging its long flame tail with every swing, leaving behind dazzling trails.
The surrounding air seemed to be ignited, and ashes and fire were intertwined, just like night and morning, death and rebirth.
“Welcome back, Yan’er!”
The moment he finished speaking, the phantom of the phoenix suddenly burst out with thousands of rays of light, like the sun suddenly jumping out of the clouds, instantly illuminating Gu Xu's vision in a vast whiteness.
All the colors and details in the house were swallowed up by the strong light, leaving only this dazzling and pure white.
When the strong light dissipated, the phantom of the phoenix had disappeared.
In its place was a stunningly beautiful woman with jet black hair and skin as white as jade.
She was naked.
The skin is delicate and the bones are well-proportioned, as if they were made in heaven.
The white and delicate bare feet stepped on the ashes, and the bright and delicate face was hidden in the firelight.
At this moment, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and her eyes were flowing, looking at Gu Xu, who was not far away.
Gu Xu knew that she was Zhao Yan.
However, she is different from the Zhao Yan of the past.
After a baptism of fire, she seemed to have completely lost all her mortal flaws, and every line on her body became as perfect as a sculpture, as if she possessed divinity.
Gu Xu was slightly absent-minded and couldn't help but think of Venus who was born from the foam of the sea in the myths and legends of his previous life.
The word "beauty" is no longer a simple modifying word for her.
She seems to have become the embodiment of "beauty".
With a thought in his mind, Gu Xu took out a brand new dress from "Xianyun Residence" and prepared to put it on her.
Unexpectedly, this great beauty born in the flames stepped on the ashes on the ground, opened her arms, ran straight towards him, and threw herself into his arms.
Her cheek was buried in his shoulder, and tears burst out of her eyes uncontrollably, quickly soaking his clothes.
"What's the matter, Yan'er?" Gu Xu reached out and put his arms around this plump and soft body, gently stroking her smooth and jade-like back, "Could it be that someone is bullying you in the world of spiritual consciousness? ?”
Zhao Yan did not answer immediately.
She just hugged him tighter, making him a little breathless.
"How about putting on your clothes first?" Gu Xu suggested again.
To remain calm in front of Zhao Yan at this moment, even if he is a strong saint and has self-control far beyond ordinary people, it is still a difficult test.
Zhao Yan still ignored him.
She pushed him to the wall, held his face in her hands, and sealed his lips eagerly.
Her tongue quickly penetrated his slightly open lips, like a greedy beast frantically occupying new territory.
"I'm afraid Yan'er has been starving for the past six months!" Such thoughts flashed through Gu Xu's mind inadvertently, and then he began to respond positively.
——
The heavy rain lasted for three days and three nights, and finally stopped.
The dark clouds dispersed.
In the endless black sky, gorgeous fire clouds suddenly appeared one after another, glowing as bright as blood.
Everyone couldn't help but look up. For a moment, they even thought that the long night had come to an end.
"Look! Look! Do the clouds in the sky look like phoenix feathers?" A child stuck his head out of the window, pointed at the sky excitedly, and shouted to his parents behind him.
His parents looked in the direction he pointed.
I saw strands of fiery clouds, graceful and slender, slowly spreading out in the sky.
The edge of the clouds seemed to have been gently licked by flames, showing a soft yet distinct gradient, from dark red to light red to golden, just like the delicate and changeable colors of phoenix feathers. .
"So beautiful!" they not only exclaimed.
——
After another three days and three nights, the fire clouds finally faded away.
The sky returned to its dark color again.
Gu Xu lay on his back among the black ashes on the floor of the secret room, with a hint of exhaustion between his brows.
The cyan clothes on his body have long since disappeared.
Zhao Yan is also exhausted.
She lay beside him, her head resting on his chest, and a hand as white as jade caressed his abdominal muscles in fascination.
"A draw?" She smiled lazily and looked at him.
"It should be a lose-lose situation." Gu Xu thought for a while and corrected.
This was the first time he had experienced the feeling of exhaustion since he was promoted to a saint.
Zhao Yan was like a victorious warrior, displaying eighteen kinds of martial arts and trying her best to make him surrender.
However, is Gu Xu someone who shows weakness easily?
After three days of sparring, both of them had completely exhausted their last bit of strength, but their hearts were filled with unprecedented satisfaction. "Gu Xu?"
"Huh?"
"You are so shameless as a father."
"What's wrong?"
"A grown man actually talks to his daughter Grab food to eat."
"Yan'er, have you forgotten that Qingyan only likes the energy of fire and is not interested in anything else? , how can you take the lead in wasting food? ”
Zhao Yan was speechless for a moment, unable to argue with him, so she could only glare at him fiercely with a pair of blurred and lingering eyes.
“Next time, be gentler, you’re already hurting me!”
Gu Xu gently stroked her hair and said yes again and again.
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that among the black ashes, a few drops of bright red blood stood out, like red plums blooming proudly in the ruins.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Zhao Yan caught the change in his expression and sneered: "The reshaped body has returned to perfection. Is there anything strange about this?"
"Not strange, not strange." Gu Xu smiled.
He recalled that after he broke through the saint realm and defeated the projection of Emperor Tianxing in Liangzhou City, Zhao Yan couldn't wait to "eat him up".
So it seems that they both have two "firsts" for each other?
"Gu Xu." After a short silence, Zhao Yan called his name again.
"Huh?"
"How long did it take for me to break through this time?"
"Three days and three nights, much faster than I did then."
"Three days Three nights... are so short!" Zhao Yan pressed her face against Gu Xu's chest, listening intently to his steady heartbeat, with a hint of surprise in her tone, "I thought a long, long time had passed. < br>
“You may not know that in the illusion just now, I seemed to be in a dark and boundless world, spending thousands of years alone.
"There is no light in that world, and there is no you.
" There is a voice that keeps whispering in my ear. It tells me that all my past memories are unreal and that you are not a real person. It's just a fantasy created deep in my heart. "
"The path you choose should still be 'Nirvana'! "Gu Xu asked.
"Yes," Zhao Yan nodded lightly, "Its original intention is to transcend the boundless pain and get rid of the shackles of life and death karma in order to achieve immortality. , the state of perfect eternity.
“I thought that in the process of breaking through the realm, I would be burned by blazing fire, punished by having my bones cut out, and oppressed by endless darkness...
"Unexpectedly, for me, there is only one most painful thing.
"That is, in my world, without you. ”
Hearing her words, Gu Xu couldn’t help but hold her tighter.
Perhaps because of this, when she found out that it was just a dream, she would I hugged him and cried, and then in the most fervent and passionate way, I confirmed his existence with the new perfect body among the remains of the past body.
"Let's take a bath? "After a while, Gu Xu suggested.
Zhao Yan nodded slightly and said "hmm" to express her agreement.
Gu Xu immediately stood up, put one hand around her back and the other around her legs, and easily lifted her up horizontally.
The next moment, he passed through the black space crack and arrived at the Hot Spring Palace a hundred miles away from Luojing in an instant.
This palace was built on the hillside. "A soup well was built as a pool, and palaces were built around the mountain. A city was built around the palace." Inside the palace were offices of hundreds of officials, residences of ministers, and large and small soup pools for bathing. It was once a It was a place where royal members of the Daqi Dynasty used to relax and enjoy themselves.
Since Gu Xu ascended the throne, this palace has been in an abandoned state without care and maintenance.
But at this moment, following Gu Xu's thoughts, dozens of talismans flew out from "Xianyunju" and surrounded him, turning into a brilliant formation.
The damaged building was quickly restored to intact, the originally turbid soup pool instantly became crystal clear, and the lush and messy vegetation was quickly trimmed neatly.
Gu Xu hugged Zhao Yan and walked into the smoky "Star Soup".
This almost boiling water temperature would probably burn anyone if they touched it, but for the two of them, it was just right.
Zhao Yan was half-lying in a corner of the soup pool.
The waist-length black hair spreads out like a blooming flower on the water.
The long, snow-white legs, the tight and flat belly, and the towering mountains were all immersed in the hot spring, looming in the waves.
Gu Xu sat next to her, admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him, and finally understood the true meaning of the phrase "hot spring water washes away fat".
He stretched out his hand and gently held her slender waist, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.
"I will never leave you," he said softly, his lips close to her ear, "As long as I live in this world, I will never leave you."
"Really?"
"Really."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
Speaking of this, Gu Xu After a pause, he hugged Zhao Yan into his arms, looked into her blurred eyes, and said seriously: "I love you, Yan'er. I can't imagine life without you."
< br>
Hearing this, Zhao Yan's body trembled suddenly.
Even in the northern border with heroic folk customs, such a direct confession is rare.
But Zhao Yan obviously took advantage of this.
"I love you too," she responded softly, sitting astride him and hugging him tightly again, "My master, my god, my majesty, my husband... ”
Under the dark night sky, the soup pool halfway up the mountain was rippling.
After a long time, Zhao Yan turned over and knelt on the edge of the pool. She held her hands on the wall of the pool and raised her head high, looking at the vast, starless and moonless sky.
The red lips were slightly opened, the eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she was humming a melodious ballad.
Gu Xu is behind her.
——
Time flies, like a fleeting moment, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
During the long night of Mid-Autumn Festival, there is no trace of the moon in the sky.
However, the people of Dahuang still follow the tradition, decorate with lanterns, prepare sumptuous dinners, and fully look forward to family reunions.
After all, this year’s long night is not as despairing as in the past.
They firmly believe that under His Majesty’s wise governance today, everything will develop in a better direction.
In the royal study.
Gu Xu ended his official duties early, and then ordered eunuch Han Shunxi to get a box of moon cakes and presented them to Xiao Wanjun as a reward for her recent hard work.
"I've really worked hard on you these days," he said with a smile, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You should rest early, and I have to spend time with my family."
The words ended After that, he tore apart the space and disappeared into the study, as if he was in a hurry to get off work and didn't want to stay beside the pile of papers for a moment longer.
Xiao Wanjun looked at his hurriedly leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh softly.
At this time of reunion, His Majesty will be accompanied by his wife and children, and his younger brother will also enjoy the fire dragon dance with his fiancée and her family.
There is only oneself, standing alone, surrounded by shadow and shadow.
She straightened her clothes, sat back on the chair again, picked up a memorial, and read through it silently.
