Chapter 101 Memory Anchor Point A skilled hunter will always disguise himself as his prey
In the 21st year of Yongxi, the city of Pudu was still filled with blood and anger, and all living things were dead.
Inside the seven temples, the statue in the middle has a slender and straight body, a high bun with hundreds of braids hanging down, a bull-head crown, three heads and eight arms, and each hand holds a sword, halberd, drum, rope and other magical instruments.
On the left and right sides are heavenly kings wearing armor, holding bows and arrows, and stepping on yaksha demons.
The Yaksha demon had his jaw bitten by the giant snake, but he was still struggling in his death throes, his muscles bulging and his face looking hideous.
Further to the side, there is a golden-winged divine bird with a human body and bird's head, wearing brightly colored clothes, and holding a shell in the left hand and a conch flute in the right hand.
The divine bird was stepping on an evil dragon with a sad and resentful face, and from time to time it let out a shrill cry. In front of it were kneeling many boys wearing garlands on their heads and beaded necklaces around their necks.
The faces of the children were already wet with tears, but none of them dared to cry out loud. The innocent voices of the children whispered similar prayers:
"King Garuda of the Firm Dharma and Pure Light attained the gate of liberation through the wisdom of differentiation of infinite sentient beings;*"
"The Garuda King with a crown of splendid ornaments attained the door to liberation in the adorned city of the Buddha Dharma;*"
"Pujie manifested himself as the Garuda King and achieved the indestructible door of liberation through the power of equality...*"
A mocking voice suddenly came from the mouth of a Vajra statue, interrupting the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere: "Garuda, you collected so many sacrifices just to let them chant sutras here?"
The boy's chanting suddenly stopped. The hall was silent for a moment. The golden-winged bird statue also spoke in human language: "What does it have to do with you?"
King Kong sneered and said meaningfully: "I heard that you are very interested in Zhou culture. Could it be that you have been influenced by the Zhou people's habits and become soft-hearted?"
"Whether my sword is blunt or not, you will know once you try it."
The divine bird's voice suddenly became gloomy, the conch flute emanated a malicious aura, and the evil dragon beneath its feet also roared angrily.
King Kong was startled at first, then he said with a fierce smile: "How could I be afraid of you?"
In a blink of an eye, the atmosphere in the temple took a sharp turn for the worse, the two gods were on the verge of a war with their swords drawn.
The boys finally couldn't hold back any longer. Some cried silently, some crawled to the corner, and a few just made a sound when they heard the divine bird snort coldly and covered their mouths tightly again.
A statue of a heavenly king turned its eyes and swept a majestic gaze over the Vajra and the sacred bird. It said in a low voice, "Once we catch Him in the net and share the food, whatever you want to do will have nothing to do with me. But now - stop the meaningless quarrel."
The heavenly king who was closer to Mahakala was obviously of higher status. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Vajra and the divine bird lowered their heads.
"But what if someone has the intention of rebelling?" King Kong raised one eye and said meaningfully.
The Heavenly King followed His gaze and looked at the expressionless divine bird. After a pause, he said, "I also want to know why you keep these boys."
The divine bird glanced at the trembling children and said coldly: "I have my own uses... If it were you, would you tell us all your magical powers and Taoism?"
King Kong sneered and was about to say something, but the Heavenly King nodded slightly: "I accept this reason."
He looked at King Kong and said, "Are you going to reveal all your cards?"
King Kong paused, then said nonchalantly: "It's just a joke, why take it seriously."
The three gods reached an agreement and the hall fell silent again. Although the plan was proceeding as planned, no one could predict how history would turn out.
Time is the most mysterious thing, which can change most things beyond recognition.
Nothing is eternal, not even gods can easily transcend it.
This is the misfortune of the gods, but also their luck, because it means that in the face of the power of time, even the legendary Supreme God cannot stay out of it.
A skilled hunter always disguises himself as prey. This time, the gods served him on the table, just to take a gamble. Will he, who feeds on the gods, also be swallowed by time?
At that time, the identities of prey and hunter will be exchanged.
Inside the temple, there are many statues of heavenly kings and Vajra gods, with their eyes half closed and expectant smiles on their lips.
…
Restaurant private room.
The cuckoo let out a mournful cry, blood flowing from its mouth, and it spread its wings and flew towards Zhi Beiyou who was behind the swordsman Li Zhou.
Gao Congxu didn't know why the enemy did this, but his body was already blocking Li Zhou.
At the same time, Nie Hong waved a paper tape and rolled it towards the cuckoo that flew out of the soup bowl.
At such a critical moment, she couldn't help but think of the former leader's evaluation of the emperor's eldest daughter.
It is said that a daughter of a wealthy family should not sit idle in the hall, but this princess has always led by example. If she had not been born in the royal family, she would have become the most outstanding general in the history of the Great Zhou.
The former leader gave many examples to prove how outstanding the eldest princess was.
She has an extraordinary talent in martial arts and is protected by royal aura, so evil spirits cannot easily get close to her. She often leads elite troops to charge at the forefront of the battlefield.
Her personal guard, the Suanni Army, is already the most valiant army in the entire Great Zhou. When they charge together with her, they will in turn be protected by her, the commander-in-chief.
During a battle, she was shot in the chest by a stray arrow and bleeding profusely. The enemy began to shout "Gao Congxu was shot by an arrow", but she broke off the tail of the arrow, and with her backhanded spear, she nailed the enemy's flag and the commander's head to the ground, turning the battle around in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, when the military doctor treated her wounds, he found that the broken arrow had grazed her heart. If it had been an inch off, she would have died on the spot.
Nie Hong originally thought that the eldest princess would only fight so bravely on the battlefield. After all, if she wanted to win the support of the generals, she naturally had to show some performance. In normal times, she would always cherish her own life like most nobles.
She didn't expect that this noble prince actually didn't take his status seriously.
Rather than the saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what she cares more about is that a gentleman's word is as good as gold.
She said she would not stand idly by when faced with demons, and she would really disregard her own safety and confront the demons the first time she encountered them.
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Lu's urgent cry brought Nie Hong back to her senses. She raised her eyes, her pupils slightly dilated, and saw a flash of knife light that was faster than the sound.
The knife was as fast as lightning and extremely powerful. With a single move of the knife, he chopped off the waiter's head with a strange smile.
In the brief moment when the knife flashed, the eldest princess Gao Congxu turned her wrist, and the folding fan was like an arrow shot from a bow, stabbing forward and barely piercing the bloody beak of the cuckoo. The white fan swayed gently, catching the dripping blood.
“Tick-tock.”
The blood spread quickly on the fan, and in a blink of an eye, the entire folding fan was dyed an ominous scarlet. Gao Congxu frowned slightly, and did not reach out to take it, but took a step back.
Xiao Lu and several other scholars rushed to her side and looked at the cuckoo's body that had fallen to the ground with caution.
Nie Hong's paper tape was a little late and only flew to Li Zhou's side at this time, just in time to catch the folding fan.
"There's something wrong with this blood." She subconsciously reminded, "Everyone be careful, don't touch it for now."
After she finished speaking, she recalled the eldest princess's retreat and Gongsun Jianxia's unmoved figure, and suddenly realized that she was used to being the one who protected others, but she didn't think about the fact that this time, everyone else was much more perceptive than her and didn't need her to remind them at all.
Nie Hong felt embarrassed and his ears instantly turned red. He lowered his head, trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Then he heard Gongsun Jianxia say as if he had just reacted: "Ah, thank you for reminding me."
Oh my God, Lord Swordsman is still as cold on the outside but warm on the inside. In order to take care of her emotions, he deliberately acts like a fool.
How could she not know how strong the swordsman was? If she could think of it, how could the master not think of it?
Li Zhou almost reached out to take the fan. The blood-stained fan looked quite beautiful red, and there were many exquisite and mysterious patterns on the fan, which completely attracted her attention.
You can’t touch it, but you can at least look at it.
She walked forward, looked down at the red folding fan held up by the paper tape, and studied the mysterious patterns on the fan. She heard a brief "Only when you are free of thoughts and worries can you know" in her ears, and the thoughts in her mind were dispelled for a moment by a mysterious Taoist rhyme.
But the sound disappeared in a flash, and the next moment, Li Zhou woke up from his trance.
She blinked and sat up in bed at the shrill sound of the alarm.
She seemed to have had a very long dream last night?
Before I woke up from the dream, it seemed like someone was shouting "Swordsman" and "Your Highness" and so on.
It’s actually a time-travel dream.
High school student Li Zhou shook his head, suspecting that he had read too many novels. He glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed, turned it off, put on his clothes, and rushed into the bathroom at the urging of his mother Ren Yingyue.
She sat on the toilet and tried for a long time but failed to defecate properly. She should eat some vegetarian food, Li Zhou thought with a frown as she pressed the flush button.
Ren Yingyue said at the bathroom door: "Why don't you eat some dragon fruit? It will stop constipating you."
Li Zhou was brushing his teeth and wanted to ask where the dragon fruit was. But when he said that, he ended up saying, "Don't you know that I hate eating dragon fruit?"
She spit out the foam, feeling so sad that her mother didn't even remember what she liked to eat. She put on her schoolbag and ran out of the house in tears.
Ren Yingyue chased to the stairs and said, "Then I'll take you to eat roasted lamb legs, roasted pig's trotters, roasted corn, roasted gluten, roasted potatoes and flower clams and vermicelli tonight!"
They were all her favorites! But they were also all things she couldn't eat now.
Li Zhou felt even more upset. She was constipated, but her mother still told her that she couldn't eat these things. She decided to be rebellious for a day and stop calling her mother and instead call her "Mom".
"Mom, I'm going to school. I'll talk to you when I come back in the evening!"
No matter how unhappy she is, she can't say anything too harsh. If she has an appetite in the evening, she is still willing to eat barbecue.
Ren Yingyue held onto the stairs, staring at Li Zhou's back as he ran farther and farther away. With a serious expression, she returned to the room and walked in front of a statue.
The statue wears a phoenix crown on its head, a flowing silk scarf draped over its shoulders, holds a jade sceptre in its hand, and stands on a lotus flower while stepping on the vast waves.
There was a layer of light yellow scarf covering her face, her vision was blocked behind the scarf, and there was a line of words above her head:
【Moon Palace Huang Hua Taiyin Emperor】
The moon and the sun are collectively known as the Twin Yaos, but now, the word "Su Yao" has disappeared from the title.
"Star Lord... please tell me, what should I do to maintain this memory anchor point..." Ren Yingyue thought of Li Zhou's face full of rejection. She suppressed her uneasiness and reached out to the veil on the statue's face, trying to peel off the veil that obscured the Star Lord's vision.
The moment the fingertips touched the scarf, a huge force gushed out from the scarf and hit Ren Yingyue heavily.
She flew backwards, smashed the bedroom door with a bang, and fell into a pile of wood splinters.
Li Zhou walked into the classroom as the bell rang. His good friend Xie Lingwei was playing tarot cards and mumbling something in a mysterious way. Li Zhou was just about to ask her if he could tell her when she would be able to poop normally.
The head teacher led a girl with beautiful eyebrows and eyes and a special temperament into the room. Amid the sudden whispers, she clapped her hands and said, "Everyone, come and meet us. This is our transfer student this year... Gao, please introduce yourself."
"Okay, teacher." The girl's eyes casually swept over Li Zhou, "Hello everyone, my last name is Gao, Gao Congxu, you can call me A Xu."
