Journey To the West From The Qin Dynasty

Li Jue nodded.

He got up and solemnly saluted Houtu with his fists in his hands.

"The younger generation is here to thank the senior for making boundless merits for ordinary people. I am a mortal, and I will not forget my roots."

Hou Tu accepted his great gift generously, and then laughed, "I have become a saint through merit and virtue. I thought that the world is at ease, and I can go anywhere."

"And at that time, the second Lich War was coming to an end. When the Yaozu heard about this, they panicked and even wanted to make peace with my Lich."

"But it's ridiculous to say that I was restricted by Taoist ancestors, and asked me to suppress reincarnation in this reincarnation platform. No matter what happened or not, I was not allowed to leave the Netherworld. Therefore, when the Yaozu heard about this again, they can feel at ease with the Wuzu. A big fight started, and the fight could not be stopped at all, the two sides were bloody, until the last drop of blood was shed on both sides, after Bu Zhoushan was knocked down by Gonggong, the big fight officially ended."

Talking about the past again, I couldn't help but my eyes were a little scarlet, and there were tears in my eyes.

This is the deepest part of her memory. Tens of millions of years later, when she recalled it again, she still couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Senior, do you regret that you didn't leave Samsara?" Li Jue asked suddenly.

Hou Tu smiled, "I regretted it a little before, but after thinking about it carefully, I was relieved, because whether I regret it or not, I can't change the final outcome of the Lich War."

There was a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of disappointment.

Li Jue was thoughtful.

"The reincarnation platform is stable enough, and the law of reincarnation has formed a new order. The underworld should not need seniors, so why don't you leave here and find a place where you can feel at ease?"

Hou Tu said: "I was originally arranged here by Daozu, and I felt dissatisfied, and even regretted not participating in the second Lich War, but now that I think about it, the ending cannot be changed at all."

"And I'm still in the illusory promise I made for the Taoist ancestor, and I can't extricate myself. After the end of the Lich War, it's not so much that the ancestor asked me to stay here, it's better to say that I stayed here voluntarily."

Li Jue frowned, "What exactly is Daozu's promise?"

Houtu said: "He let me guard the reincarnation platform for 100,000 years, and he made me the seventh sage of heaven."

Saint of heaven?

Li Jue suddenly realized that no one could refuse this temptation.

Houtu had already become a virtuous sage at that time, but he was a sub-sage, so he must be unwilling, and Daozu made such a promise, it must be very tempting.

But he didn't expect to miss the Lich War because of this, which caused Houtu's lifelong regret.

After the Lich War ended, Houtu could have left, but because of the regret in his heart, he chose to stay here.

Li Jue sighed.

Suddenly said: "It seems that some people hope that the end of the Lich War will be like this, and some people seem to hope that the Lich War will happen."

Houtu was silent.

Li Jue said, "Your Majesty once said that you Wu Clan once heard the advice of an expert to be consistent with the outside world. Who is that expert?"

Houtu became more silent.

Then laughed.

Word by word: "Hongjun."

Hongjun?

Li Jue was a little silent, although he vaguely guessed that the expert who instructed the Wu clan to be consistent with the outside world was Daozu.

However, when he got the confirmation from Hou Tukou, he was still a little shocked.

Daozu not only asked Houtu to guard the reincarnation platform, but also took the initiative to propose that the Wu Clan be unanimous to the outside world. It seemed that it was for the sake of the Wu Clan, but in fact it ended up ruining the future of the Wu Clan.

And at the most critical moment for the Wu clan, Houtu was not allowed to leave the reincarnation platform to help, and spread the matter.

All of this seems to herald the demise of the Wu clan, and there is an inescapable relationship with Daozu, and even Daozu single-handedly contributed to the demise of the Wu clan.

The two looked at each other, everything was silent.

"Your Majesty should already know why he did this."

"I knew it many years ago, and even after the end of the Lich War, I figured out the key to it."

Li Jue sighed, "Since that's the case, I don't owe anyone anything by leaving here on my own."

Hou Tu said: "I am restless, the sky is big and the earth is big, but there is no place for me. Only here can I find a little peace of mind."

Li Jue said: "I also hope that the empress can look at it a little bit more. You have done a lot of things for Honghuang to be humane, and it is time to do something for yourself."

Hou Tu remained silent.

And Li Jue understood that after the witch clan was wiped out, Houtu might already have an obsession in his heart, and he regretted that he chose to guard here instead of helping.

In order to punish himself and escape from reality, Houtu chose to continue guarding the Samsara Terrace.

Li Jue knew how deep this kind of knot that had been solidified for millions or even tens of millions of years turned into an obsession, and he couldn't resolve it in a short while.

So after thinking for a moment, Li Jue gathered a piece of spatial jade in the palm of his hand and placed it in front of Houtu.

"I hope that my mother can live for myself once. Maybe this is also the meaning of reincarnation. The first half of life is life, and the tribulations and catastrophes encountered in the middle are death. Coming out of these tribulations is reincarnation."

Then he turned and left. As soon as he turned around, a golden halo appeared behind him. When he stepped into it, the halo shrank sharply and finally disappeared.

Leaving only Houtu behind, he looked at the piece of space jade in front of him, carefully pondering Li Jue's words.

Then fell into deep contemplation.

"Going out is reincarnation..."

Li Jue left the netherworld and reappeared in the human world, and when he stepped into the room again, he felt that the world became very close.

An unprecedented feeling hits my heart, every gesture of my hand seems to be integrated with everything in the world.

Li Jue came to a flower bush and stretched out his hand to pat it. With his strength, not to mention the flower bush in front of him, even a kingdom would be reduced to ashes under that palm.

But Li Jue's palm was obviously slapping it, but in the end it turned into stroking from the front of the flowers. Only a slight palm wind bent the branches of these flowers, but it didn't hurt them at all.

After stroking the flowers with his palm, Li Jue clenched his fist suddenly, then opened his palm and looked at it.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he didn't catch anything in the palm of his hand, and there was nothing but air.

but.

Falling into Li Jue's eyes, what he saw in the palm of his hand were red, green, blue, purple, and various energy clusters.

"Although I have practiced the way of nature for thousands of years, this is the first time I have grasped the power of all things in the world. It is unexpected that such a small, cute and gentle power contains far more energy than divine power."

Li Jue smiled slightly and withdrew his palm.

"finally found you."

suddenly.

In the distant sky, a figure came from afar, covering the sky and the sun, covering the field where Li Jue was.

Li Jue looked up, his expression was calm.

The one who came was Kong Xuan, the Dharma protector of the Buddhist sect. He once fought a tie with Li Jue over Chechi Kingdom, and now he came again.

Li Jue smiled, "Long time no see."

Kong Xuan frowned, "You and I haven't seen each other for a hundred days, why did it take so long?"

Li Jue smiled without saying a word.

Kong Xuan continued: "In this short period of a hundred days, my strength has improved to a higher level, about 50% stronger than before."

"You are no longer my opponent."
