Chapter 225 Luo Song: Oops, it’s coming for me (Three in One)
Not long after.
Prajna Lianyue also learned from Qing Jian that Gu Fangchen had found the ruins of Garuda, which meant that the goal she had been working towards for five hundred years was only one step away from being achieved.
All the emotions that had been pent up in my heart for five hundred years suddenly rose and fell, especially the longing for that person, which could no longer be suppressed. My heart was in a mess and I couldn't calm down.
Late at night, she quietly went to the nearby sand dunes and Gobi Desert, found a suitable small cave, and wanted to hide there to look at the moon in the sky.
This world of yellow sand is built on the long-destroyed country.
Although everything has changed, she still feels homesick when walking in this world of yellow sand.
It’s not because of Garuda, a country that should have been destroyed long ago, but because of the person who can never come back.
When she was a child, whenever she felt sad, she would secretly run to a secluded cave, look at the moon in the sky and cry secretly, or just stare blankly.
Then wait for that person to find you and watch the moon with you.
In the beginning, the source of this habit was because someone told her that she was actually a citizen of the enemy country, and the person who killed her parents might be her adoptive father who raised her, the decapitation commander of Garuda.
Because Garuda people rarely have blue eyes, at most they only have green eyes, and a color as pure as glass like hers can only appear on people from the destroyed enemy country.
She angrily scolded the man for talking nonsense, and then fell into confusion, so she ran into a small cave. She originally just wanted to cry for a while and then go back, but as it got dark, she didn't dare to go back and was trapped in the cave for a day.
When the man found her, his body was covered with wounds from being bitten and torn by sand wolves. He hugged her and told her that he was not a Garuda either.
He scratched his head and smiled helplessly:
"Little Mingzhu, your biological parents are both monks. How can I, a centurion, defeat them?"
"Your father is just an ordinary man. It's okay to secretly gain some military merits. But if I can kill two fifth-rank monks, even a sow will climb a tree..."
She stared at him blankly, then laughed.
The man carried her back to her residence, and since then, she has never seen the person who told her that story again.
Others said that the villain was unlucky and died on the battlefield.
And that villain is a ninth-grade martial arts practitioner.
Later, the man told her that the moon is brighter in one’s hometown. If you miss your real home, just run and look at the moon.
No matter how long she looked, he would come and find her.
But after becoming the Holy Lady of Tara, she rarely had such peaceful moments anymore.
She must be Prajna Lianyue, not Mingzhuer.
Only Mingzhu'er can look at the moon and miss home. Prajna Lianyue, who has lost her eyes, must be worshipped as the moon.
That man died too early. He asked her to call him daddy every day, but she didn't even know his full name. She only knew that others called him Shizhang.
Prajna Lianyue followed the path in her memory and came to a similar Gobi Desert. In a trance, she saw the back of a person standing on the top of the hill.
That back figure was so familiar, so familiar that it seemed as if five hundred years had disappeared with that one glance.
She opened her eyes wide, walked forward quickly, and the words almost came out of her mouth.
"What a coincidence! Is Your Highness the Princess also here to enjoy the moon?"
Gu Fangchen turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and said:
"Your Highness, you can actually smile normally now. Why have you been sour-faced at me these past few days? Remember to smile more cheerfully next time."
Prajna Lianyue's joyful and bright expression froze for a moment, and then turned cold in an instant, with the murderous intent in her heart even stronger.
Why does she have a sour face? Doesn’t this guy know?
He knew it very well, but he still used this matter to deliberately humiliate her!
"Why are you here?"
Prajna Lianyue looked at Gu Fangchen and asked in a cold voice.
This place is remote, just an ordinary little hill.
The reason she came here was because she was following a familiar route in her memory. Why did this person come here?
This guy never does anything without a purpose. It's impossible for him to suddenly run to such a completely meaningless place without any purpose.
But the strange thing was, with her level of cultivation, it was impossible for her not to feel someone was following her...
Did they both happen to want to come here to relax and be quiet? How could such a coincidence happen?
Gu Fangchen spread his hands:
"Your Highness, you are a bit too overbearing. Just because you can come here doesn't mean I can't?"
He sighed:
"I was just a little homesick, so I wandered around and ended up here. The moon was especially round today, so I stopped to admire it for a moment."
Prajna Lianyue sneered in her heart.
Isn't your home the Zhenbei Palace?
The Zhenbei Palace was destroyed by Gu Fangchen himself, and Gu Yuye was also killed by him. This guy is still here pretending to miss him!
Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes, looked up at the moon, and smiled:
"Your Highness doesn't seem to believe it, but... the moon is brighter in one's hometown. I think Your Highness should understand this feeling better than I do now."
Upon hearing this, Prajna Lianyue was about to make a sarcastic remark, but suddenly she was stunned.
The moon is brighter in my hometown... This sentence is actually not uncommon. There are many similar words in the poems of the Wei Dynasty.
However, today, Gu Fangchen not only appeared here, but also said exactly the same words at the same time.
This can no longer be explained by coincidence.
A terrible thought suddenly arose in Prajna Lianyue's mind, but she immediately extinguished it.
impossible!
Only this thing is absolutely impossible!
She saw the man die in front of her with her own eyes. Although she fled in a hurry and did not have time to collect his body, she was unable to find the body after she returned.
However, she caught the soldier at the time and confirmed the man's death.
What's more, she had tried every possible way to search for that person in the previous five hundred years.
If she couldn't even put her corpse together, why would she need the "Lotus in the Womb" to regenerate a perfect body?
Furthermore, Gu Fangchen is only nineteen years old now, how could he have appeared five hundred years ago?!
The most important thing is that Gu Fangchen, the guy who made her hate him so much, could never be the man who said he would find her no matter what!
If it were him, he would definitely not treat me like this...
Prajna Lianyue calmed down, steadied her heart, took a deep breath, and said:
"Of course I know, so the matter of finding Garuda will require the envoy to do his best."
"No problem. Your Highness, you should know how to get me to do my best..."
Gu Fangchen reached out and touched Prajna Lianyue's cheek with a smile.
The latter turned his head away in disgust, but did not leave. Instead, he just smiled, then lifted her veil and looked at the face that was very different from what he remembered.
It is indeed difficult to recognize someone when you can only see half of their face.
However, when combined with those clear and bright eyes like glass, one can see that there are three other similarities.
The thin and pretty little girl back then has become what she is today. Over the past five hundred years, who knows how much suffering she must have endured...
Gu Fangchen suddenly put down his hand and said:
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Let's go back. When everything is over, we can have a long talk all night. It's not appropriate to sit on the ground in the open air."
Prajna Lianyue was stunned, and her teeth that were biting her lips loosened. She raised her head and saw Gu Fangchen waving his hand as he left. She frowned, wondering what tricks this guy was playing.
But judging from his words, he still has the ulterior motive...
But for some reason, he actually felt that after this incident, they would still have the opportunity to "talk all night long"?
Prajna Lianyue's eyes were cold, and she raised her hands and rubbed her cheeks hard.
When he enters Garuda, that will be the day of Gu Fangchen's death!
She turned and disappeared into the moonlight.
…
In the distance, Luo Song stood with his hands behind his back, watching the two people parting unhappily, and curled the corners of his mouth.
He almost thought that Gu Fangchen no longer had any "inner demons".
Unexpectedly, his "inner demon" turned out to be so despicable...
This guy chose to let someone impersonate Zhao Daniu before, probably because of his own despicable nature.
It seems that everything he did before was just a disguise. This person's true nature is such an ugly villain.
Even because he was influenced by the "inner demon", at this moment, he made such despicable threats to his partner, the Holy Maiden of the Tara religion, a second-rank monk.
He has completely lost his mind.
This is precisely the manifestation of being blinded by the "demon in the heart".
If it were the old Gu Fangchen, he would never make such a reckless decision.
A woman like Prajna Lianyue, who holds a high position and has an arrogant temperament, would definitely find a way to get rid of him if she was threatened like this.
Once he enters Garuda, Gu Fangchen will lose his usefulness. If he becomes complacent and mistakenly thinks that Prajna Lianyue is completely submissive to him and relaxes his vigilance, he will definitely be killed by Prajna Lianyue.
——The calamity of “inner demon” is fulfilled in this way.
Luo Song seemed to have seen Gu Fangchen's future fate. He shook his head and disappeared on the spot.
He will follow Gu Fangchen and others into Garuda to witness the final end of this self-righteous ant.
This ant once overestimated its own capabilities and attempted to shake the "eternal paradise".
But in the end, because of his own "inner demons", he died in obscurity in that long-destroyed ancient country, buried with the yellow sand...
This is what he deserved.
…
Gu Fangchen walked slowly in the desert, and as if he had some inspiration, he took out the stone engraved with golden mantras.
At this moment, one of the proverbs above is slowly being erased.
He turned around and saw the flash of red lightning in the sky.
Gu Fangchen grinned, put the stone back, and continued walking towards the hot spring palace.
This old man Mahamudra... is really capable.
This "goes because of the celestial dial", I am afraid that he will really "die a worthy death" in Garuda.
…
The next day.
"This is the last of the 'mirage'."
Gu Fangchen squinted his eyes and looked at the oasis in front of him that was twisted in the heat.
He walked forward and continued to unlock the core of the huge formation. Prajna Lianyue stopped where he was, stretched out his hand, and touched the illusory light and shadow.
She was very familiar with the phantom of this oasis.
This is the Garuda Kingdom that was shrouded in miracles and prospered overnight.
Prajna Lianyue's eyes were cold, and she clasped her slender jade fingers together, extinguishing the light and shadow in her palm.
Such prosperity was achieved with the blood of a thousand boys and girls.
Once, when she was still called Mingzhu'er, she almost became one of those thousand boys and girls.
It was that man... a mere centurion who disobeyed the orders of the Garuda royal family and priests, blocked the blades of those personal guards, and allowed her to escape.
The god that Garuda believed in was never the Peacock Tara, but an evil bird named Garuda.
Garuda was bloodthirsty and was blinded by Peacock Tara. He died in the desert. His flesh and blood, like a mountain, nurtured the Garuda people.
This group of people are descendants of evil birds and are born with disgusting stomachs.
In order to create that oasis, they had to drain the blood of a thousand boys and girls alive, and let the precious princess bathe in it and become the new Garuda.
The princess's name was Prajna Lianyue.
They wanted to lie and claim that it was the princess who sacrificed her own eyes out of great mercy and created the miracle of the oasis, in an attempt to dominate the Western Regions and get involved in the Central Plains.
Mingzhuer entered the palace as a maid, and used all the methods that the man had taught her in the past to get close to the princess legitimately.
Finally, at the moment of sacrifice, she killed Prajna Lianyue and took her place.
The top leaders of Garuda were furious and immediately imprisoned her who had just inherited the power, but it was too late. She had already taken away all of Garuda's power.
Therefore, when she proposed cooperation, these people were helpless.
From then on, she was Prajna Lianyue.
In just three years, she secretly contacted the Tara sect and destroyed the entire Garuda.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Garuda chose to mobilize the entire nation, forming a massive formation to submerge the entire kingdom beneath the sands, waiting for the day when it could make a comeback...
This is also the reason why outsiders cannot find Garuda and she cannot enter it.
The legend that has been circulating for five hundred years is nothing but a lie.
"alright."
Gu Fangchen clapped his hands and stood up.
On the ground, the extremely complex blood-red spiritual patterns have been covered with a layer of golden spiritual patterns.
Then he snapped his fingers.
“Pah.”
The spiritual pattern merged into it, instantly changing the layout of the array's center.
In an instant, the spiritual patterns spread outward, and the entire oasis twisted and changed, disappearing into the air.
At the same time, the other several points also changed at the same time. The spiritual patterns spread and concentrated at the center, condensing into a pillar of light that shot up into the sky.
After a moment of stagnation, the center position was like a curtain being drawn open and opened to both sides.
Below it, a stone gate covered by yellow sand suddenly appeared!
A moment later.
Gu Fangchen and Prajna Lianyue landed in front of the stone gate and walked forward.
It can be seen that this stone gate is a ruin left over from five hundred years ago. It now stands here abruptly, silently welcoming the whistling sound of the wind and sand.
It's like that silent history.
Gu Fangchen reached out and patted the stone door to brush off the dust, and saw several marks on it that looked like knife marks.
His vague memory seemed to become clearer, and he said with some nostalgia:
"This is the gate of Garuda."
Prajna Lotus Moon floated over and said lightly:
"Let's go. Once you walk through this door, you'll reach Garuda."
She had no good feelings towards the entire Garuda. The only place where she had good memories was the small house where she lived with that man.
But because that person died there, it also became a nightmare.
Naturally, there is nothing to miss.
Gu Fangchen watched her float across the stone gate and disappear in front of him, and followed her with a smile:
"Don't be impatient, Princess. Why don't you talk to me about how you became Prajna Lianyue back then..."
He stepped through the stone gate and the scene before him suddenly changed.
"boom!"
The entire city was ablaze with flames that burned the sky, and billowing black smoke rose into the sky, covering the sky. The scorching air, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, hit our faces.
Everywhere you look, there are corpses everywhere, and blood is flowing and gathering, forming puddles that are almost enough to float weapons.
Apart from the sound of the raging fire, there was no other sound in the city.
It shows that this is a completely dead city.
Time stands still here.
Five hundred years have passed, and there has been no change at all. It is still at the moment when it was slaughtered by Prajna Lianyue.
Although Gu Fangchen could roughly guess that it was probably Prajna Lianyue who did it, he still raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes.
This is not only a hidden copy, but also opens up a hidden plot that no one has ever known.
Although he himself was the source of the plot, he never expected that the person who caused Prajna Lianyue to be so obsessed was actually himself.
He could probably guess that after he died, Prajna Lianyue did not escape, but instead took revenge on Garuda.
Ultimately, this led to the destruction of Garuda.
Prajna Lotus Moon floated to the sky, overlooking the shattered ancient country, and said lightly:
"Some boring old stories. If you want to hear them, I can tell you."
These things have been piling up in her heart for five hundred years. Now that everything is coming to an end, she doesn't mind treating it as mercy for a dead person.
On the way to the "Boundless Spring", she told everything except a few details.
Gu Fangchen listened with great interest, and asked questions like gossip, asking some insignificant little questions.
In the center of Garuda's imperial city is the "Infinite Spring".
It is said that this spring is part of the long river of time, and one can find the past or the future in it.
This is also the key to the formation that Garuda originally opened.
In order to maintain the formation, the Garuda priest sat in the center of the "Infinite Spring".
But unfortunately, Prajna Lianyue had directly beaten him to a pulp, leaving him with irreversible injuries.
His remaining strength was only enough to keep the formation running, and his own injuries were almost enough to exhaust him.
The last person who accidentally entered the ruins, Golan, was unfortunately a coward who was afraid of death. After taking the "heart poison", he ignored the Garuda priest's summoning whispers and immediately ran back.
Now, he finally waited for the person who opened the ruins for the second time.
However, when he looked up in ecstasy, he saw an old acquaintance.
Prajna Lianyue tiptoed and floated above the "Boundless Spring".
She was dressed in a colorful dress and looked like a fairy. In the reflection of the burning dead city, she was extremely beautiful and divinely radiant, just like a living Bodhisattva who came to save people from suffering.
But in fact, she is the undertaker of this city.
The priest was stunned, his eyes filled with despair:
"How could it be... How could it be you..."
Prajna Lianyue chuckled:
"It's me, so what?"
Her eyes were indifferent. "Garuda was destined to die at my hands, so I came here to complete what I hadn't done. You have preserved this 'Boundless Spring' for me for five hundred years, and it's time for you to die."
After Prajna Lianyue finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and gently grasped the air.
"Bang!"
Even though the priest's eyes were bloodshot, they could only explode in an instant, turning into a cloud of blood mist and floating in the air.
Prajna Lianyue's eyes swept across the blood mist, turned around, looked at Gu Fangchen, smiled charmingly, and said softly:
"It's your turn next."
Gu Fangchen raised his head and looked at her, sighing:
"No room for negotiation?"
Prajna Lianyue shook her head, and in the blink of an eye she was in front of Gu Fangchen, walking towards him step by step, with lotus flowers blooming under her feet, but she did not stop for a moment.
She said coldly:
"When you threatened me, you should have known this moment would come."
"Actually, I can explain..."
Before Gu Fangchen finished speaking, his figure had disappeared from the spot and appeared in the boundless spring in a flash.
But how could Prajna Lianyue, a second-grade cultivator, let him escape when she had already made sufficient preparations?
She raised her hand, and the huge pale image of Tara suddenly appeared, opened her eyes, and a huge lotus blossomed in them.
Gu Fangchen was swallowed by the lotus and wrapped in it.
The soft lotus petals were like cast steel at this moment. As Prajna Lianyue closed her palms, she crushed Gu Fangchen's body to pieces.
A large amount of blood gushed out from the lotus petals, and faint golden threads seemed to be released and flowed in all directions.
That is the "Lotus hidden in the womb"!
Prajna Lianyue took a deep breath, knowing that Gu Fangchen was just on the verge of death. She was about to use a secret method to seize the "Lotus in the Fetus", but suddenly she saw a stone that Gu Fangchen was carrying on his body. Under the flushing of the "Infinite Spring", it revealed a dazzling golden light.
The spiritual patterns hidden in it suddenly spread and connected to the center of the formation where the Nagaruda priest was originally located.
At this moment, the "Wangyin Sky Dial" became the eye of the formation that buried the entire Garuda.
Gu Fangchen's soul had already left his body. He opened his eyes and saw "Gu Yuandao" who was nowhere to hide in the formation.
In other words, it was a preacher who occupied the body of "Gu Yuandao"!
Luo Song's pupils constricted, and when he saw the overwhelming spiritual patterns of the formation, he finally realized that something was wrong!
This thing...why does it seem like it's coming towards him?!
If the other party is a preacher who is closest to the "Tao", then what can be done against another preacher?
Yes, brother, yes.
Gu Fangchen also has something from the preacher.
Only, that was from a preacher who had not yet come.
That is, "player".
Props from "Tan Yuan" - [Blood Substitute Boy].
Once, after Gu Yuandao failed in his attempt to kill Ning Caiyong, Gu Fangchen stole his map of mountains and rivers and left a drop of his blood.
