Chapter 496 Uncovering the Mystery of Suzaku

The square patio is very similar to the Southern Dipper Well in the Zhenwu Palace. They both echo the stars in the sky and have the same shifting of stars and changing of the old and new. At this time, Yan Qianlie seems to be sitting in the patio, but he has actually disappeared in the eyes of Shi Huozhu and others.

We arrived at the South Celestial Pole.

What we saw was the old version of Suzaku being besieged.

But slightly different from Xuanwu, Suzaku was the last target to be besieged. At this time, Azure Dragon, Xuanwu and White Tiger had all been dealt with, and the trio of Emperor of Heaven, Buddha, and Taoist Priest had already begun to make preparations for who would be in charge in the future.

They are no longer so united and each has his own plans.

Yan Qianlie was surprised to find that the Buddha secretly saved a trace of Zhuque's true spirit, and the Emperor of Heaven and Dao Zun did not even notice it.

The body of Suzaku was blown to pieces, but because it belonged to a critical quarter of the world's construction, its power within the rules of this world could not be erased at all, so it was banished to the modern world using the old method.

The result is predictable.

Qinglong passed through with his body intact, but was crushed to death by the turbulent space currents, and his extremely hard bones were shattered into pieces, with his toe bones collapsing into the Sea of Japan.

The skeleton of Xuanwu is more powerful than that of Qinglong. There is no flaw in it. The flesh and blood are gone, and only the skeleton is left.

Suzaku itself is not known for its strong body, and even its bones are falling apart.

However, the Vermillion Bird has an advantage. It can be a pure flame, without a body. When it sees that the situation is not right, it simply burns its body and turns into endless sparks, spreading across the world. This also causes different functions and attributes to spread out, which is the direct reason why Zhu Mengmeng obtains the ability of fate and cause and effect.

"Why save me? I only have a trace of my true spirit left, and I don't have any abilities anymore."

The dust has settled, the Heavenly Emperor and the Taoist Master have all left, and the Vermillion Bird Spirit that was secretly saved by the Buddha is asking the Buddha a question.

The Buddha replied: "I cannot bear it."

"I want the truth!"

"I talk about karma, and so do you. I talk about nirvana, and so do you. I talk about ferrying souls, and so do you. Your ideas are the same as mine."

"Want to inherit my priesthood?"

"To be honest, I don't need to inherit your priesthood... Of course, if you are not here, these priesthoods will be mine, but it doesn't matter. My duties are beyond this."

The Suzaku True Spirit didn't know whether to believe it or not, and said coldly: "I don't care what your hidden purpose is, I just want to ask one more question, the reason why you attacked and killed me, is it really as you said before, is it the will of heaven?"

The Buddha said slowly: "We act within the laws of nature, so we have no right to interfere in this matter. What else could it be but the will of nature?"

"Good! Good!" Suzaku was furious: "What a ruthless sky!"

Yan Qianlie knew where the evil spirit he inherited came from and sighed secretly.

No wonder Zhuque is the one who hates the way of heaven the most.

After all, what the Buddha said makes a lot of sense.

How could Suzaku know that the Heavenly Dao was only in the conceptual stage at that time, and that in the ancient times when the world evolved from chaos, he himself knew nothing.

Chu Ge also saw all this through Yan Qianlie's perspective and was extremely angry.

This bald ass...just wait for me!

As Suzaku became furious, the scene began to distort, the old heaven scene dissipated and was covered by the new heaven scene.

The besieged one changed from the shape of Vermillion Bird to a woman in red with a flame pattern on her forehead... the Great Emperor of the South Pole.

Yan Qianlie's expression twitched.

Everyone would think that the Southern Pole Changsheng Emperor is an old man with a white beard, so how could he be a woman? Her face is still unclear.

The true spirit saved by the Buddha also changed from a bird to a female ghost.

The female ghost was saying to the Buddha: "You saved my true spirit, can you hide it from the heaven?"

The Buddha said: "You are so weak, there should be a way to make him unable to sense the intention of Suzaku."

The female ghost was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you in charge of reincarnation?"

The Buddha said: "That's right... But this has nothing to do with Your Majesty. Your Majesty is immortal, so there is no need for reincarnation. You can just reshape your body. Why don't you follow me to the Buddha's kingdom? I have my own Bodhi..."

"No need. Only by reincarnating into ignorance can I avoid being sensed, and he can't find me at all." The female ghost gnashed her teeth and said, "I will practice again. When my spiritual consciousness awakens, I will see what benefits the human world has. Do I want him to slaughter us and destroy the world?"

The Buddha was stunned.

Yan Qianlie and Qiu Wuji were also stunned.

Could it be that she was reincarnated into the human world?

Qiu Wuji turned to look at Chu Ge. Chu Ge looked extremely serious, as if it had reached the most critical moment.

Did he make arrangements?

The Buddha was somewhat embarrassed: "Your Majesty, now that the bridge between heaven and man has been severed, it is difficult for me to send you to reincarnation. I can only do it reluctantly, and I cannot accurately control where I want you to go."

What I mean is, after your reincarnation, I won’t be able to find you, so it’s all in vain that I saved you!

The female ghost glanced at him and said coldly, "Your other magical powers are OK, but when it comes to the power of fire, you are no match for the Heavenly Emperor and the Taoist Master. I can lend you my fire function in exchange."

This is what Zhu Mengmeng sensed. Among the Buddha’s lotus fire, the Vermillion Bird Fire seemed to be in a “colleague” and “cooperation” relationship with the Buddha.

Perhaps it’s also related to the temple fires in Southeast Asia?

The Buddha pondered for a long time, and for some unknown reason, he finally agreed to the exchange, saying, "Let me make this clear... After reincarnation through my hands, you may have to practice Buddhist techniques, or borrow Buddhist treasures to embark on the path of immortality again. All other methods may lead to your death."

The female ghost sighed and said, "You want to conquer me after all."

The Buddha acquiesced and did not answer.

The female ghost said, "Go ahead."

Buddha's light flashed, and the female ghost fell off the bridge between heaven and man.

The Buddha was not talking nonsense. Once he crossed the bridge of heaven, he would no longer be able to control the whereabouts of the female ghost. Reincarnation was purely random, so he had to reserve a way for her to practice the immortal way only if she had a connection with Buddha, so that she would not run away.

Yan Qianlie stared with wide eyes, watching a baby girl from an ordinary family being born.

Mortals cannot recognize adults and babies, but when it comes to Yan Qianlie’s practice, he can see through their essence at a glance.

This baby girl is clearly Qingyan.

Yan Qianlie was completely down, his mental fluctuations flashed, and he had already exited the time-space retracing, and could no longer see the follow-up...

But it seems that there is no need to watch it later...

Because Zhuque was the reincarnation of his true spirit, although he had lost the memory of his previous life, he had a natural affinity with fire and had demonic intentions, so it was natural for him to join the Fire Prison Sect.

However, because it was not a Buddhist practice, he died an unnatural death, and his soul was refined by the traitor and kept by his side, making it impossible for him to reincarnate again.

But Qing Yan was resurrected using the lotus platform in Hongfa Temple, the so-called treasure of Buddhism...so he rebuilt his second life.

Qiu Wuji suddenly turned around and stared at Chu Ge: "You arranged this? How did you do it?"

Chu Ge took a deep breath and said, "No. This is indeed a pure coincidence, but after I knew that the Vermillion Bird Fire was related to Buddhism, I have always had some doubts in my heart. There is only one person who meets all the conditions, including being related to Buddhism, practicing fire, being a woman, having the demonic power of the Vermillion Bird, and being my destined successor to the South Pole Emperor, Yan Qianlie. Now it has been verified."

"No wonder you never thought Mengmeng was the reincarnation of Suzaku, even though she behaved very much like one... It turns out you already had other suspicions in your heart..." Qiu Wuji whispered, "You said before that Suzaku couldn't be completely dispersed, and there must be a core left. It seems that this is it..."

Both of them felt extremely strange.

Zhuque deeply hates the Heavenly Dao, but Qingyan is the Heavenly Dao's bootlicker.

Of course, Qing Yan has not yet recovered her memories of her past life. In fact, even if she has recovered, she is only a trace of true spirit. Due to the withering of the laws, she is far from being a real Suzaku... But what will happen to her after she recovers her memories?

"Damn it!" Yan Qianlie's angry thoughts suddenly exploded in the soul sea: "Don't tell me that Zhuque is Qingyan! You arranged a bastard, can he write a book? If you kill me, I will scold you too, fuck your grandmother!"

"..." Chu Ge sighed: "Why are you so excited? What's wrong with Zhuque being Qingyan? You inherited Qingyan's mantle in the human world, and Zhuque's mantle in the heavenly world. This is fate. I'm the one who's having a headache. A good believer wants to rebel against me, and I have to give in this time..."

"Yuan, your grandmother!" Yan Qianlie was so angry that he jumped up and down: "After she regained her memory, is she still my Qingyan? Is she still not? What's the difference between that and being possessed by someone else!"

"Is this what you care about?"

"Nonsense! Let your Qiu Wuji awaken her past life and see how awesome it was. Can you bear it?"

Chu Ge shook his head and said, "You still don't understand the arrangement of the new heaven? The four symbols will all return to their positions as stars and will not exist in the world. Qingyan's Suzaku meaning must be separated and sent to the stars together with other Suzaku laws. At that time, Qingyan will at most receive part of Suzaku's inheritance, and will not become Suzaku."

Yan Qianlie let out a long sigh: "What should I do? Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"I will give Qingyan a cheat next, so that she and Dabei can ascend together... During this time, I will go and collect the Suzaku's intentions that were left in the world, and then I will make plans." Chu Ge didn't care about Yan Qianlie's change of expression, his eyes were full of the joy of solving the mystery: "I already know how to do it."
