“It became one of the fish that helped me take off.”
Liu Zhaoqing paused and thought of something else.
"Me, Kun, and Peng..."
Liu Zhaoqing frowned: "Could it be that everything that happened just now was not just Kunpeng's memory, but Kunpeng was borrowing my thoughts, turning into me, and re-watching its life from my perspective."
"Kunpeng dreamed of becoming me, so I... can also dream of becoming Peng."
Liu Zhaoqing murmured: "This is - 'The Son and the Butterfly'."
The man in white stroked his beard and smiled. There was no need for him to give any more instructions. Liu Zhaoqing already understood everything and was no longer confused.
"Go, find what you have lost, and you will be able to transform into a roc."
"This time, remember not to walk too far alone."
The man in white turned around after he finished speaking, and Liu Zhaoqing immediately stretched out his hand: "Where are you going, sir?"
"Go home, of course." the man replied.
"Sir..." Liu Zhaoqing looked at the man and said after hesitating for a moment: "Are you the one who..."
The man in white shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, just like Zi and the butterfly. I can be a wisp of Kunpeng's memory, a gentleman imagined by Zi, or a free farmer in the fields."
Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly and looked at him with a little sadness: "But if I succeed, then wouldn't you also... disappear from the world?"
The man in white showed a kind smile, put his hands behind his back and walked towards the low wooden house, while his voice floated into Liu Zhaoqing's ears.
"With the heaven and earth as my coffin, the sun and moon as my jade pendants, the stars as my pearls, and all things as my gifts, I shall be happy to leave like this."
As he walked away, Liu Zhaoqing saw the man's black hair turning white, with an immortal look.
After entering the wooden door, the song he sang could be heard from inside the door.
That was exactly the song that Kun heard when he transformed into Peng.
Then, accompanied by the same loud laughter as when he witnessed the transformation into Peng, Liu Zhaoqing also disappeared into this pure white dream.
Chapter 221 Enlightenment and Earth Spirit 5K
The endless white light shrank into a small dot before my eyes.
Liu Zhaoqing's vision was once again filled with darkness, but this time, he did not feel any panic or worry.
The experience just now allowed him to meet great men whom he should have only seen in books, and also allowed him to witness with his own eyes the wonders that all living things would never be able to see in their lifetimes.
He gained an insight that could give him a new lease of life. With just a little understanding, it seemed that he could soar into the sky he had never seen before.
"Wake up!"
Just as Liu Zhaoqing was thinking about what he had just experienced, a call suddenly came from his mind.
Liu Zhaoqing moved his eyes and slowly opened them.
What met the eye was a rolling darkness, with countless black beasts roaring and running around.
Looking around, Liu Zhaoqing found himself in purgatory, surrounded by hatred and death.
"Huh? You finally woke up?"
The voice came to his mind again, and Liu Zhaoqing remembered it at this time. It was Yinglong's voice.
Although compared to usual, these two calls seemed a little more anxious and excited.
But maybe this was just an illusion, because the next second Yinglong's voice returned to its usual coldness.
"He is clearly conscious and his soul is at peace, so how come he is sleeping now?"
"sleep?"
Liu Zhaoqing frowned slightly, then looked at his body. At this time, his body was solid and not translucent.
In other words, his consciousness did return to his body, and the purgatory-like area around him was the sea of consciousness of Peng Bird, who had long since died.
"How long has it been? Since we came in?" Liu Zhaoqing asked immediately.
"According to mortal time, about a quarter of an hour." After Yinglong answered, he said again: "You haven't answered my question yet."
"Ever since you ignored my dissuasion and broke through the dead roc's skin to enter, you have been motionless. Your mind and breath are clearly clear, but no matter how much I shout, I can't wake you up."
"If I hadn't temporarily isolated you from the surroundings, you would have become the same existence as those dark resentments."
After listening to this, Liu Zhaoqing replied: "I didn't sleep, but... my consciousness was pulled into a dream."
"Dream?"
"Well, I met a teacher who lived thousands of years ago, and also saw all the experiences of the Peng bird from its transformation from a small fish to its death." Liu Zhaoqing simply summarized his experience in one sentence.
After he finished speaking, Yinglong was silent for a moment, as if he had not expected that Liu Zhaoqing could actually go through all this.
"It seems that you made the right bet. The Peng bird does still have a trace of independent consciousness." Yinglong said.
"No wonder I sensed that your emotions have changed a lot from before. You must be just a step away from enlightenment."
Liu Zhaoqing nodded, then looked around and said, "But there is no time for me to comprehend it now."
Although Yinglong did not explain, Liu Zhaoqing could find that the golden light shield wrapped around him was slowly weakening and its power was dissipating.
However, these lost powers would instead become nourishment for the Dead Peng, which was why Liu Zhaoqing saw the scene where the Dead Peng's momentum suddenly increased.
This is the true and pure power of a real dragon. Yinglong has spent a lot of money to protect himself.
"But what are you going to do now?" Even Yinglong couldn't think of how to save the situation.
"Since you have woken up, it also means that the Peng bird's last autonomous consciousness has dissipated. Without its assistance, it is almost impossible for you and I to escape from here with our current situation."
"You didn't think about this situation before you came in, did you?"
"I haven't thought about escaping now." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head.
He tried to call out to the Book of Humanity in his heart, and this time the Book of Humanity responded and appeared in his hands again.
Liu Zhaoqing looked at the human book in his hand, reached out and touched its surface, and he felt a familiar breath.
It was as if the teacher had not left yet.
"The 'Ren' in the Book of Humanity represents the spirits of all creatures under heaven and earth. The power they possess does not come from heaven and earth, but from all creatures."
"All things wish to be free and unrestrained, even evil spirits and monsters." Liu Zhaoqing looked up and looked around.
"These resentments and death energy are the cornerstone of the Dead Peng's power. They are our biggest enemy, but 'enemies' do not necessarily need to be enemies. They are like friends and relatives, and they are also the driving force for us to fly into the sky or move forward."
Yinglong didn't quite understand what Liu Zhaoqing was saying, but these were obviously Liu Zhaoqing's words of enlightenment.
After thinking for a while, Yinglong said, "Do you want to... influence them? Influence these mindless evil creatures in this sea of consciousness?"
"Of course it's not persuasion." Liu Zhaoqing is not a fool.
"It's to purify them... or to free them, just like in Luoyang. This time I will use the Book of Humanity to purify them and give them liberation or freedom."
"It's easy to say, but don't you just want to absorb all the resentment into yourself?" Yinglong revealed the secret in one sentence.
"You will be assimilated, corrupted, and disappear completely!"
"No, I won't." Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile: "Now I know what to do, don't worry."
After saying this, the human book in Liu Zhaoqing's hand turned into a layer of fluorescence that enveloped his entire body.
"You kid! Are you acting on your own again without listening to advice?!"
After getting angry, Yinglong hesitated for a moment, feeling Liu Zhaoqing's determination and confidence, and finally made up his mind.
"There's no better way to have the best of both worlds anyway, so I'll trust you once more."
The next moment, Yinglong withdrew the power of isolation. For a moment, countless dark resentments around him rushed towards Liu Zhaoqing like vicious dogs.
Liu Zhaoqing was like a piece of fat food in the sea being snatched away by a huge school of fish and was instantly submerged in the darkness.
But Liu Zhaoqing remained unmoved. The resentment that was initially directed towards him disappeared after it touched the golden fluorescence transformed by the human book.
But the Peng bird is so huge that a dead Peng can not only maintain itself, but can even bestow tremendous strength on mortals. Its sea of consciousness is truly as vast as the sea, and the almost endless resentment and death energy that comes from its power constantly impacts Liu Zhaoqing.
Even if the Human Book has the power of purification, just like a granary will collapse when hit by a large amount of grain, with so many evil forces impacting the Human Book, the Human Book is getting closer and closer to the critical point of "collapse".
And this moment came so quickly that it was unbelievable.
At first, the fluorescence on Liu Zhaoqing's body was quite bright, but as time passed in less than two breaths, the golden fluorescence began to flicker and even cracked.
At this time, another pure force surged out of Liu Zhaoqing's body and filled those "cracks".
That is the power from a real dragon, and Yinglong can only do this at this moment. If it does anything else, it will suffer irreversible damage.
But even so, it only allowed Liu Zhaoqing to hold on for a little longer.
At the fourth breath, the protection on Liu Zhaoqing's body was shattered.
"no!"
As Yinglong's voice rang out, Liu Zhaoqing's body was directly hit by countless resentful and deadly energy.
The piercing pain and indescribable negative emotions made Liu Zhaoqing extremely miserable.
"You must stop, give me your body, I can take you out!"
"No!"
In his heart, Liu Zhaoqing once again stopped Yinglong from trying to control him by force.
"Believe me!"
Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing not only did not protect himself, but instead opened his arms and allowed the endless death energy to wash over him.
At this moment, he no longer had the protection of the Human Book, nor did he have Yinglong's power.
All external forces were completely defeated by the malice in Dead Peng's sea of consciousness. Liu Zhaoqing can only rely on himself to save everything now.
He once doubted himself in his pure white dreams, wondering what he could do without these external forces.
Influenced by the negative answers in his mind, Liu Zhaoqing doubted himself.
But now he understood what the free and easy teacher wanted to tell him.
Even a mortal creature smaller than the weight of a palm can be transformed into Kunpeng, and all spirits of heaven and earth are equal.
If it weren't for Liu Zhaoqing, the fate of the people around him would have been different.
If destiny cannot be defied, there would not be a "butterfly" like Liu Zhaoqing.
Being free in the world is also the result of winning the battle against heaven.
It was this little "butterfly" of his that brought them together around him, changed their fates, and led them onto different paths.
This is my ability, I can go with the flow, but I can also change the fate of others.
This is also the true function of the human book written by the spirits of heaven and earth.
"All the spirits among the Peng birds who still have consciousness, why don't you join me in the fight once more?"
Liu Zhaoqing transmitted his thoughts to the people around him through his mind. The thoughts should have been ignored, but in an instant they caused a stir.
The entire sea of consciousness came to a standstill in an instant, and the next moment, a large number of consciousnesses that still had a trace of independent thinking remaining in the sea of consciousness were awakened by this sentence.
For a moment, the entire sea of consciousness seemed to be boiling, and countless chaotic groups of varying sizes appeared.
It was the consciousness of the soul that was sacrificed to the Dead Peng or absorbed by the Dead Peng that helped Liu Zhaoqing, using up his last bit of strength to fight against fate.
Liu Zhaoqing himself did not take this opportunity to leave, but swam directly forward.
"Where are you going?!"
Yinglong shouted in his mind.
"They carry me, so I can't let them down."
Liu Zhaoqing could feel that he was only one step away from becoming a roc.
-
At this moment, on the battlefield outside Pengniao, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu just met up with Zhao Yun.
The three of them each killed at least two thousand enemy soldiers next to a meteorite burning with red flames.
But at this time, the sudden change of the Peng bird still made the three of them feel a huge threat.
"This Peng bird has the ability to open a road connecting two places out of thin air, and it can also create a black storm in the sky. We can't let it flap its wings!" Zhao Yun said immediately.
