Chapter 637 shouldn't be like this
"Brother Zhou~!"
Yang Chan stared at Zhou Ji at the end of the long steps, and before she could see whether she was dreaming, there was only a hazy layer of water vapor in front of her eyes, and she couldn't even see the figure clearly, so she could only lift her skirt nervously. Gently, as if probing, he stepped forward and climbed the long, long cloud steps, trying to get closer.
As the footsteps became faster and faster, the breeze lifted the long hair behind her, and the clouds and mist caressed the tear stains in the corners of her eyes. Yang Chan rushed to the top of the steps desperately.
Seeing Yang Chan so excited, Zhou Ji seemed to realize something suddenly, his heart twitched for no reason, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually subsided, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
He is just a passer-by in the world of the heavens, never belonging to any place.
Yang Chan has climbed more than 900 of the 999 steps that are still under construction in front of Lingxiao Hall. Zhou Ji stood on the spot, looking down at the stone steps extending towards Yang Chan, his legs seemed to be poured into iron. With juice and cement, he raised his toes with difficulty, but retracted them even harder.
Thousands of years are too long, and the load of memory is also increasing in the accumulation of cultivation.
Zhou Ji once sealed several memories in the depths of the sea of consciousness, each of which was accompanied by a woman through her life.
The lifespan of a mortal is only a hundred years, and he can accompany the other party to the end of their life without leaving any regrets.
Only this time
"Third Miss, long time no see."
The corner of Zhou Ji's mouth still raised the gentle and kind smile of the past, just like facing the Meishan brothers and Xiaotiangou, he bowed his head to salute Yang Chan.
Yang Chan really hopes that she can throw herself into Brother Zhou's arms like a little girl, and even more hope that when she ascends the long steps, Brother Zhou can also walk down the long steps and run to her in both directions.
But seeing the alienation and politeness in Zhou Ji's eyes, the smile on the corner of her mouth was like pouring cold water on Yang Chan's head, which made her slow down unconsciously, and stopped when she stepped on the last step .
"Ah, yes. Long time no see~~"
How could this happen. It shouldn't be like this
Yang Chan tried to squeeze out a smile, her appearance of worrying about gains and losses did not have the mighty and domineering look that just chased Monkey King away.
Zhou Ji opened his mouth, saw the disappointment in Yang Chan's eyes, turned his head, turned to look in the direction where Monkey King disappeared, and said in silence for a moment: "The one who escaped just now is Monkey King, right? I don't know what happened? Why did the third girl chase him?"
Yang Chan was in a state of confusion at the moment, and didn't realize what was wrong. She took a deep breath and managed to maintain her emotions: "Sun Wukong is making troubles in the Heavenly Palace, trying to seize the Jade Emperor's position. I am worried that the turmoil in the Heavenly Court will lead to disasters in the Three Realms, so I come to help .”
"Then you." Zhou Ji turned his head and glanced at Yang Chan, but stopped when he reached the point of his mouth, and said instead, "Then you don't have to worry, Heaven will have a solution."
"Amitabha~"
As soon as the voice fell, a golden light appeared from outside the sky. The Buddha's light pierced through the cloud wall to reveal a giant Buddha shadow piercing the sky.
Yang Chan also ignored the grievance in her heart, looked up at Yuankong in surprise, frowned and said, "That is Jin Chanzi?"
"Jin Chanzi doesn't have such strength." Zhou Ji shook his head, jumped to the highest point of the eaves of Lingxiao Palace, and looked at the direction of the Buddha's shadow through layers of clouds and mist.
is it him?
It does not seem
Zhou Ji opened his palm, and the square diagram was looming in his palm.
Although this Buddha shadow is powerful, it does not have the terrifying coercion brought by the Buddha's eyes when it crossed the boundary. It seems that it is just a projection from the heavens of the Tathagata Buddha.
Zhou Ji breathed a sigh of relief, but did not completely let go of his vigilance.
After all, since the Buddha eye can sense the breath of Zhu Xian's Four Swords across the border, it means that the Buddhist forces have completely penetrated this world. Once exposed, the owner of the Buddha eye can come at any time.
In the past, Brother Zhou would have cared if she was injured.
Yang Chan raised her head and looked at Zi Gu Zifei to go up to the roof of Big Brother Zhou, pursed her lips, and comforted herself that Big Brother Zhou just retreated for too long and the relationship is not good enough, and after getting along for a while, he will change back to the way he was before.
Thinking of this, Yang Chan's original grievances and sorrows suddenly diminished a lot. She tapped her toes lightly, and with a flick of her sleeves, she floated to the top of Lingxiao Hall, stood in the air, and stood side by side with Zhou Ji. A gentle and serene smile.
A ray of light rushed from the direction of Yaochi, and directly bumped into Zhou Ji's arms.
Heaven sent people to attack?
Zhou Ji frowned slightly, and was about to raise his hand to pick up the other party. After he saw the person coming, he raised his other hand, and opened his arms to hug the little Nezha who was flying over. A lot of sincerity.
"Brother Zhou~! You can calculate the closed door. You don't know that you have been closed for five hundred years. You want to kill us."
"I didn't expect this retreat to take so long. I haven't seen you for five hundred years. How have you been all these years?" Zhou Ji stroked Nezha's head, and suddenly found that one of her hairpins seemed to be crooked. Holding her arms with both hands, he picked her up, seeing her disheveled appearance, the smile on her face was restrained, and she frowned, "What's going on?"
"Hey~ Don't talk about it, Sun Wukong is really powerful. Even the Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace failed to burn him to death. Instead, it gave him a pair of piercing eyes. He broke into Yaochi all the way, if the third sister did not arrive in time Brother, this life is about to come to pass." Nezha waved his hand and asked instead: "By the way, Brother Zhou, haven't you been retreating in Huashan all the time? How did you find this place? Did the third sister leave? I left you a note when I was there?"
Nezha's words awakened the dreamer. Yang Chan was still feeling bad for Brother Zhou's different attitude towards Nezha and himself. Hearing Nezha's reminder, she suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Yes? I'll go. How did you find this place when you didn’t leave a letter?”
Zhou Ji said casually: "Xiaotiangou told me something happened in Tianting, so I'll take a look at the situation."
"Oh..." Yang Chan concealed the faint trace of disappointment in her heart, and bowed her head in response.
Nezha patted his chest and said with a smile, "I'll just say it~ Brother Zhou is a good man, he must be here to help."
While speaking, a deafening roar came from a distance, and a Buddha palm that covered the sky and the sun tore through the sea of clouds, and fell with its backhand, turning into a five-element mountain and pressing Sun Wukong down the clouds, no one knew where it fell.
Nezha stared wide-eyed, looked up at the huge monster in front of him, and wondered, "Is he looking at us?"
Through the pupils of the Buddha, Zhou Ji seemed to see a Buddha seal with the word "卍" shimmering with Buddha light coming towards him. As the Buddha seal got closer and closer, the terrifying coercion almost crushed him.
There seemed to be a voice in his ear constantly reminding him that the Tathagata Buddha had already discovered him. With his strength, he could not stop the Buddha's **** seal. Once the Buddha seal fell, the soul would also be wiped out by the Buddha's light. Only by unfolding the square diagram, Only by taking out the four swords of Zhu Xian can he split the Buddha's seal and find a glimmer of life.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou.?"
In the vision shrouded in Buddha light, a cluster of faint colorful lights came into view, Zhou Ji subconsciously pursued the colorful lights, and stretched out his hand towards it, as if he heard Yang Chan's voice gradually approaching from far away.
Immediately afterwards, the Buddha's light dissipated with a bang, and a shy, charming and slightly puzzled face came into view. Yang Chan's cheeks were slightly red, but she did not avoid her sight. Said: "Brother Zhou? What's wrong with you?"
"Um?"
Zhou Ji woke up instantly, turned his head to look, there was no Buddha light and seal on the cloud wall that was returning to the cage, and the golden body of Buddha had long been gone.
Everything that happened just now seemed like a dream, making it impossible to distinguish reality.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something, and I was a little distracted."
Zhou Ji's heart sank, and he realized that the Buddhism seemed to suspect him, but he was still not sure, so he used the Sanskrit sound and the Buddha seal to lead him out of the sword.
If he hadn't woken up from the hallucination just now, the master of the Buddha's Eye would have crossed over and snatched the three swords in his hand the moment he pulled out the Zhuxian Sword.
By the way, how did I wake up?
It seems to see the colorful light of the lotus lantern. Then reach out to grab it
Zhou Ji raised his palm, and Yang Chan's arm followed suit.
Zhou Ji found out that what he picked up in the Buddha's light was actually Yang Chan's Rou Yi.
Yang Chan glanced at Nezha shyly, and subconsciously shrunk her hand back. Zhou Ji felt her pulling away, let go of her palm quickly, and explained seriously: "It's not that kind of third girl, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, I just now."
Nezha didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, he laughed and said, "You suddenly grabbed Sanjie's hand just now, could it be that you like Sanjie?"
"Let you make a fuss here~ I said that's not what I meant." Zhou Ji ignored the little Nezha's struggle, and stretched out his hand to mess with Nezha's other hair. After waiting for him to take a look, he suddenly saw Zhou Ji flicking his sleeves to open a barrier, enveloping the three of them.
"Brother Zhou is this?"
Yang Chan put down Rou Yi, who was holding her chest, and looked around suspiciously.
Zhou Ji continued to bless the enchantment, turned to look at the two, and said with a serious face: "I'm sorry. I lied just now, and you may not believe it. I was not distracted or thinking about things just now, but was caught by the Buddha. The golden body conspired and fell into hallucinations."
Zhou Ji recounted what happened just now.
Looking at Yang Chan, he felt a twinge in his heart again. Zhou Ji suppressed all his emotions, and said with a sinking face: "In short, you and Brother Yang are my friends, and I don't have any unreasonable thoughts about the third girl."
"So that's the case? Actually, I also think something is wrong with Big Brother Zhou. So he was plotted against by some kind of Buddha?" Is it the Buddha?"
Zhou Ji nodded slightly, and emphasized: "This matter is of great importance, please keep it a secret for me, and don't let others know."
Nezha knew the advantages and disadvantages, nodded vigorously, and raised his hand to swear: "Brother Zhou, don't worry, even if the body dies and the soul disappears, Nezha will never reveal a word!"
Yang Chan's face was pale, and apart from being sad, she was more worried about Zhou Ji's safety, and said with concern: "Does the second brother know about this? The Buddha's power is unfathomable, and he suppressed Monkey King in the lower realm with his backhand. Wouldn't Brother Zhou be his enemy?" very dangerous?"
"You don't have to worry too much. With the help of the three girls this time, it should dispel the Buddhist's suspicion of me, and nothing will happen again in a short time." Zhou Ji picked out something to tell the two, and concealed the information about the Buddha. Regarding Mu and Zhu Xian's Four Swords, he comforted him: "As for Erlang, I'll tell him in person when I have a chance."
Everything in the heaven was over, and Zhou Ji had no plan to meet the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, so he removed the barrier and Yang Chan set off to return to the lower realm.
Nezha sent the two to Nantianmen and returned to Yaochi to return to their orders.
Knowing that Zhou Ji broke into the Nantian Gate to help the Heavenly Court deal with Monkey King, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother finally felt relieved.
The Queen Mother looked at the Yaochi that was being cleaned up, and looked at the ruined corridors and palaces in the distance. She was still in shock and said: "Your Majesty, the Monkey King's rebellion this time has taught the Heavenly Court a huge lesson. Your Majesty must learn from it."
The Jade Emperor followed the Queen Mother's line of sight, and immediately understood: "You mean that my Heavenly Court still lacks a God of War who can truly shock the Three Realms?"
The Queen Mother nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Heavenly Court is strong and powerful, Sun Wukong still made a huge disturbance. If Monkey King can make a big disturbance in the Heavenly Court, what about Erlang God? If they have a chance to join hands."
What happened next, even if the Queen Mother didn’t say it, the Jade Emperor could think of it.
The Jade Empress wiped off the cold sweat from her forehead in fear, and sighed, "Fortunately, Guanjiangkou, Huashan and Meishan didn't rebel together at the beginning!"
The Queen Mother took advantage of the situation and said: "If there were brothers and sisters Yang Jian in the Heavenly Court, it would be impossible for Monkey King to make such a big mess."
Seeing that the Jade Emperor was silent, the Queen Mother persuaded, "Hundreds of years have passed in the lower realm. The conflict between your Majesty and their brothers and sisters should be eased."
"Oh, I don't know." The Jade Emperor said helplessly, "Yang Jian is arrogant and rebellious, and he always opposes me. He still has a grudge against the old story of Da Jinwu killing his father and brother for so many years, so how could he allow his sister?" Come to heaven to do something?"
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and asked tentatively: "If their brothers and sisters disagree, what about Zhou Ji?"
"Wu Zhouji" mentioned this name, and the Jade Emperor felt quite complicated.
"I once asked my empress to act as an agent for the affairs of the court. My empress handled the affairs in an orderly manner and thoughtfully, which made me feel inferior. The power of the heavenly court has greatly increased. I thought I could disdain the three realms, and began to monopolize the power. Unexpectedly, there was another Monkey King. chaos." The Jade Emperor sighed, and waved his hands lonely: "It seems... I should really reflect on what he said in Taoshan."
The queen mother hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself."
Jade Emperor supported the table, stood up slumpedly, and walked towards the apse: "I want to retreat for a while to reflect on myself. The affairs of the heavenly court should be handled by the empress. As for the brothers and sisters Zhou Ji and Yang Jian, I will follow my empress's wishes."
