The Old Gods Are Whispering Chapter 518

  Chapter 518 The origin of the unicorn mask

  The candlelight in the Buddhist temple flickered on and off, and the stooped old man turned around from the futon.

   Even though he had made psychological preparations in advance, Gu Jianlin still felt a chill when he saw his appearance.

Because Taiqing's body has been completely distorted, under the shabby monk's robes are intertwined golden tree roots, completely replacing his bone structure, there is no flesh, fascia, tissues and organs all over his body, only the heart is burning. Clusters of vermilion flames, one can imagine how severely he has been eroded.

  Especially his head, only a rotten wood-like skull was left, scorched black from the vermilion fire.

  How ironic.

   "The inheritor of order has been eroded like this."

  Gu Jianlin raised the unicorn wedge and pointed it at him from a distance: "You are indeed not as good as Grandmother."

Taiqing knelt on the ground, with a calm voice: "I have fought against her for most of my life, of course I know that I am not as good as her. In those years, she was just giving way to me, and it was easy for her to win the throne. It's just that she is sympathetic by nature, and she can't bear to set off a bloodbath like Wu Zhao."

   "She asked you to endure you, even if you were charged with murder, to keep your name behind."

  Gu Jianlin said coldly: "But you planned this change and let her be betrayed by the world."

Taiqing raised his head, a cluster of vermilion flames ignited in the dark eye holes, and his gentle voice suddenly turned into the roar of an evil spirit: "So what, this world is mine after all, she snatched it from me. Let's go! We've been married for more than 400 years, of course I know what she really thinks! She looks down on me, she's never respected me from the bottom of her heart! I even know that my achievements in Candlelight Law are actually her secret guidance I've done it..."

  “I am grateful to her, and even more grateful to God for giving me such a good wife.”

  His voice suddenly became low, and he said quietly: "But I don't want to accept that I am such an incompetent person, I just want to beat her once, no matter what field, as long as I can beat her by a little bit..."

  When the old man said this, he was so humble.

  But so longing.

   With a trace of crying, suppressing the deepest madness in his heart.

  Gu Jianlin looked with pity in his eyes, and said indifferently, "You are possessed."

Taiqing smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, one thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. The biggest advantage of my life is paranoia, and the biggest shortcoming is also paranoia. It is precisely because of this paranoia that I have fallen to such a point that I have become a person with a unified will. Puppet, took over the Priory. At that time, I thought I had surpassed my wife, but unfortunately I made a mistake. I underestimated Qing and Chi, and I shouldn't let them out of my sight.”

  Gu Jianlin said indifferently: "Why did you send them to the depths of the universe?"

   "We need to get the Ghost Law."

  Taiqing replied frankly: "But I never thought of letting them come back alive."

Gu Jianlin nodded slightly: "So you train teachers and uncles to let them go to the depths of the universe to find clues to the lotus of Youying, and to reproduce the ancient law of Youying. After all, the Law of Candlelight and the Law of Youying Both are indispensable. Ao and Aka should have been lost in the depths of the universe, but they just came back."

  Taiqing said softly: "Because Qing and Chi not only went to the ancestor planet, but also went to Qilin's mother planet."

  There were waves in Gu Jianlin's eyes.

   "Qing and Chi experienced certain things in Venerable Qilin's home planet, and they have completely escaped my control."

  Taiqing sighed: "Otherwise, I wouldn't need to go to great lengths to kill them."

  Gu Jianlin laughed and said, "You are so pathetic."

   "Perhaps, in your eyes, if I didn't do this, I would not die. But I have never regretted my choice. It is precisely because of this paranoia that I accidentally came into contact with a huge conspiracy."

  He paused: "Before I was polluted by the unified will, I had a chance to ask her for help."

  Gu Jianlin was taken aback.

   This sentence means that Taiqing was voluntarily polluted by the unified will of candle lighting the sacred tree.

"For hundreds of millions of years, the Candlelight God Tree has been so secretive, just like a butterfly shuttles through the dark side of history without leaving any traces. It's just that when this butterfly grows stronger, there will always be someone I heard the wind of it. I just want to use my active catering to find the source of that conspiracy."

Taiqing said hoarsely: "The fact is just as I thought. According to my abnormality, Taihua brought Qing and Chi closer to the truth of the conspiracy step by step. This is the result of my sacrifice. Unfortunately, She still couldn't do it in the end. Thinking that there are things that people like her can't do, I was relieved a lot."

  Gu Jianlin murmured in a low voice: "You are such a madman."

  Taiqing laughed dumbfounded, taking it as a compliment to him.

   "If they lose, I still win."

  He laughed and said: "Because Venerable Suzaku is about to complete the great achievements of hundreds of millions of years and come to this world in the most perfect posture. At that time, the fateful curse between humans and ancient gods will also come to an end!"

  In the silence, only his laughter echoed.

   Madness reveals arrogance, as well as ambition that spreads like wildfire.

  Gu Jianlin was puzzled: "Why?"

  The flame in Taiqing's eyes is erratic: "Do you think you are a human or a god?"

  Gu Jianlin didn't even bother to answer this kind of question.

Taiqing said with a half smile but not a smile: "You think you are a human being, based on your practice of the third method, you are indeed beyond reproach. But the problem is that Venerable Suzaku and Venerable Zhulong can also claim to be human. "

Gu Jianlin vaguely understands something. In the world's conception, the conflict between humans and the ancient gods comes from the differences in races. If one day the ancient supreme comes to this world in the form of a human, he will even generously share the ancient secrets and the truth of the universe. Share it out, so what reason is there for the war to continue.

   This is the same as what the Bai Ze clan did, except that what they can do is limited.

   When Venerable Suzaku completely controls the Candlelight Divine Tree, he will be able to solve all the problems on this planet.

  It seems beautiful, humans and gods live in harmony, and the eternal true **** descends to create a real utopia.

   There is no war.

   There is no smoke.

   No conspiracy.

   "The price is just that little bit of self-esteem and freedom?"

Gu Jianlin's eyes were indifferent, and he said softly: "Humans bow down to the gods and pray for the gifts of the gods. In order to evolve and survive, they betrayed the beliefs of their predecessors. They gave up a happy life, abandoned their parents, companions and children, and gave their blood, sweat and even their lives. , It's not for us to kneel down to others.”

   Taiqing stared into his eyes, and paused every word: "Even if our world will become better?"

  Gu Jianlin thought of the murders committed by the ancestor of Guiche, as well as the actions of the Priory.

  "Leaving aside my grievances with him, their actions alone cannot be trusted."

  He said coldly: "So you are a capitulator."

  The unicorn wedge roared in the silence, and rested on the old man's head.

Taiqing didn't feel scared, but said calmly, "Before I saw you, I always thought that you were the one who should accept the coming of the Suzaku clan. But I didn't expect that you are such an arrogant person, no wonder they would Choose you, and firmly believe that you can walk on this road."

  Gu Jianlin narrowed his eyes and took a deep look at him: "What did you say?"

   Taiqing smiled slightly: "This is something Taihua found out."

  Gu Jianlin's hand holding the unicorn wedge trembled like an electric shock.

"My wife has never pampered someone so much in her life, even when she was tortured by the curse to the most painful time, she can spare no effort to check your affairs. This is the secret she should have brought into the coffin , but you should never have confided in front of my grave. Of course, judging from the current development, you will know sooner or later."

  Taiqing was persuasive: "Have you ever received a mysterious mask?"

  Gu Jianlin's eyes finally changed, and the long-lost memories surfaced like blisters.

   Yes, that mysterious mask.

   There is also a weird courier station, and Lao Zhang who disappeared inexplicably.

   "After you put on that mysterious mask, you gained the power of Venerable Qilin."

  Taiqing deliberately said: "That is the beginning of everything."

  Gu Jianlin has seen the projection of a clay tablet of fate, the process of Venerable Qilin creating the black jade mask, and the mysterious man who can ignore the seal and break into the deepest part of the mausoleum.

   This was clearly planned in advance.

   "The Lark was created, and so were you."

Taiqing taunted and said: "In the beginning, the purpose of your existence was to compete for the Candlelight God Tree. No, to be more precise, it was to deal with Venerable Suzaku. Now you are equal to him, and you still have the colorless This is the only thing that might pose a threat to him. Including the sacred candle tree in the Qilin fairy palace, he has already tampered with it, and it will be a matter of time before it is taken away...Of course, it doesn't matter where the main body of the tree is. It doesn't really matter. The important thing is, who is the person who can really control the authority!"

   "If you still have any doubts, why don't you go to the deepest part of the Qilin Immortal Palace and take a look. Now that you have arrived in the sanctuary, you already have the ability to see through the past and the future."

  He smiled and said, "As you said, profile!"

  Boom.

   A cluster of vermilion flames ignited, and Taiqing's crooked body was completely swallowed up.

  He didn't howl.

   No violent tremors or convulsions.

   just calmly accepted the disappearance of consciousness.

  Gu Jianlin always had the illusion that some words were not what the old man in front of him really wanted to say.

   Rather, someone is talking to himself through his body.

  Taiqing burned itself, but the candles in the Buddhist temple were extinguished by the wind, the Buddha statue enshrined in the highest place became rusty and mottled, the laughter in the Zen courtyard gradually faded away, and everything supporting the dream was collapsing.

  Gu Jianlin silently stared at this scene, not knowing whether to feel sad or hateful.

   It is true that the old man in front of him is one of the sources of all tragedies, and he is indeed insane to the point of hopelessness, almost paranoid and chose the most cruel road at the fork in human history. But even if he didn't fall, someone else would make the exact same choice in his place.

  Where is the bane, no one knows.

  Right or wrong, winner or loser, can only be judged by future generations.

   "Do it."

  In the vermilion flames, the old man's voice was hoarse: "Since Tang Ling is not here, then you can clean up the house instead of her, if you firmly believe that you are right."

  Gu Jianlin raised the unicorn wedge, and the blade trembled slightly: "Any last words?"

   Taiqing was silent for a second.

   "Let's talk about it when I see her."

  The old man looked at the Buddha light outside the Buddhist temple, watched the backs of the children playing far away, and returned to the era of war and chaos four hundred years ago in a trance, reliving the peace and joy that he had forgotten.

   It's like a long, distant dream.

   Now I wake up from the dream.

   People should go too.

   Click!

  Gu Jianlin cut off the blade without hesitation, and the old man's head flew high.

  This silent Buddhist temple finally collapsed, the huge Buddha statue collapsed, and wax oil was splashed all over the ground.

  Taiqing's body was completely wiped out, and the hot ashes were extinguished and cooled.

   Just as he is paranoid and crazy.

  Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

  Gu Jianlin turned around, the unicorn wedge trembled slightly, and the dimension of time and space shattered in front of him.

   With the collapse of time and space, Gu Jianlin returned to the tomb in the darkness after a long absence.

  According to common sense, after the taboo area constructed by Taiqing's subconscious collapsed, he should have been teleported to the corresponding location in reality, but he communicated with the Qilin Wedge at the last moment and returned to his world.

He sat in the golden coffin, the iron chains that bound him were broken inch by inch, the pale shroud was also wiped out, and the majestic breath of the ancient **** surged in the void, but he could control himself to keep the human race attitude.

  The chain like a dragon's spine crumbled into dust, accompanied by the faint sound of a dragon's roar.

  At the beginning, every time he was promoted to a rank, one of the chains here would break.

   Now that he has been promoted to the sanctuary level, the seal that once made him desperate can no longer trap him.

The connection between Qilin Immortal Palace and him became more and more close, and the ancient and weird taboo knowledge flooded into his mind. He also knew what kind of alchemy matrix should be used to control the world, and he could clearly distinguish those ancient ruins in thousands of years. It looked like ten thousand years ago, and you can even feel the traces of the war between the Zhulong and Qilin clans.

Snapped.

   A crisp finger snap.

  The door of the mausoleum was opened, and a ray of sunlight poured in.

  Master's grandmother once said that the ancient **** race is a race of destiny.

  The Ancient Supreme has the authority to see through fate.

   And Master finally answered his doubt just now, what exactly is his profile.

   "The ability to see through fate?"

  Gu Jianlin closed his eyes, feeling the traces left in this mausoleum, and his silent mind started to boil.

   Suddenly, he heard a voice.

   "I haven't seen sunlight for more than two thousand years, my lord."

Someone said softly: "It's really scary. Even though you have been killed by the town for more than two thousand years, your power is still so strong. If you hadn't recovered the spiritual realm, no one would be able to set foot in this tomb. In a short time, you may be able to kill all the Kuilong ancestors on the first floor."

  This person's voice is so weird and erratic that he can't even distinguish between men and women.

   "Fortunately, you still maintain your sanity."

  He paused: "Otherwise I won't be able to come in."

  Gu Jianlin opened his eyes, and there was a familiar old man standing under the sunlight.

   King of Green, Huai Yin.
