After all, this guy is very smart, maybe he is just pretending.
"Suzaku, I'm sorry for what happened five thousand years ago." Bai Yao lowered his head and said guiltily.
Suzaku looked confused: "What five thousand years ago?"
"Weren't you sealed for nine thousand years? Did you wake up once five thousand years ago?"
Bai Yao looked at him with a confused look, it really didn't look like he was pretending.
"After the catastrophe of heaven and earth, where did you four divine beasts disperse to?" she asked.
Suzaku said truthfully: "I know that Bai Hu is in Yitian, Xuanwu was taken away by Ye Yuan, and only Qinglong is left. There is no news yet. He may have died in that catastrophe."
Bai Yao thought thoughtfully, "It turns out that Xuanwu is in the underworld... I have been to the underworld, but I didn't see him."
"Xiao Bai Yao, why did you suddenly ask about Qinglong? Have you really found him?" Suzaku was a little excited a second ago, but then he thought about their tragic situation and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"That's all, it's been so many years, and even if I'm still alive, the situation probably won't be much better."
Bai Yao asked him, "What about you, why are you like this?"
Suzaku's eyes dimmed, he pulled the quilt again to cover his head, and said dullly: "Don't worry about it, I'm used to it."
"Habit?" Bai Yao frowned, "I think the marks on your body look like a curse. Whose curse have you received?"
"It's not a curse...Oh, I can't die anyway. I will return to normal in a few days, so don't worry about me."
"Let me ask you, does it have something to do with me?" Bai Yao said solemnly, "Suzaku, I don't want you to deceive me in the name of doing my best. If it has anything to do with me, just say, I owe you
I will return yours to you."
She was afraid that Suzaku became what she was now because of her.
She really didn't want to bear the crime of hurting her friends and live in ignorance.
Suzaku asked her, "Then why do you think that my becoming like this has something to do with you?"
"Have you... seen the White Tiger?"
His words were like a blow to the head, hitting Bai Yao hard on the head.
Her voice trembled fiercely, "So... even if Bai Hu is trapped in the black prison and loses one eye, does it have something to do with me?"
Suzaku popped his head up again and said helplessly: "Actually, it doesn't have much to do with you."
"How do you say this?"
"Let's talk about me first. I became like this because when the great tribulation of heaven and earth came, the fire of karma burned all things. I was worried about you, so I ran to where you live to find you. Who knew that there was already covered by the fire of karma?
I flew a little late, and my real body was contaminated by the karma fire, so I was burned..."
Zhuque's face was full of embarrassment, "I went to find you myself. I don't blame you for what happened."
"But compared to other gods, I am very lucky. After my true body is gone, my soul can only hide underground and sleep to avoid the catastrophe. Otherwise, I will probably be wiped out in that catastrophe.
How can it be left to this day?"
Bai Yao couldn't laugh or cry: "..."
She was sealed by Ye Yuan before the great catastrophe.
The fire of karma can burn all living things in the world, including her.
Speaking of which, Ye Yuan saved her.
"What do I have to worry about? Why are you running away at a critical moment of life and death? Why do you come back to find me?"
Suzaku curled his lips and said, "Who made your legs short? I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to escape the erosion of the karma fire. Who knew that the speed in the underworld was so fast, it would have sealed you early. If I had known, I would have flown far away."
"Besides..."
"Before the emperor fell, he told us to protect you."
He took a deep breath and told Yechuan's explanation.
Bai Yao was stunned, "Yechuan, did he ask you four beasts to protect me?"
"Yes." Suzaku sighed heavily, "The emperor is kind to all four of us. He has no demands on us. He only said that he would protect you as much as possible and don't let you die in a catastrophe. He must protect you."
You leave it to future generations."
Bai Yao felt mixed emotions for a moment.
"I know he's doing it for my own good, but I'm still destined to die in the future, right?"
Suzaku was stunned for a moment, "The Emperor said that you would have a chance of survival."
Bai Yao laughed at himself, "Yes, the so-called glimmer of hope is for me to swallow his reincarnation."
By now she had thought it through.
Xiao Chuan is the real reincarnation of Ye Chuan, Mo Xuan is the soul, and Ye Yuan is the soul.
Although she doesn't know why Mo Xuan lied to her that Xiaochuan and Yechuan have nothing to do with each other.
But she can be sure that Xiaochuan is the glimmer of hope left to her by Yechuan.
Only the real Yechuan would love and protect her so unreservedly.
The glimmer of hope that Yechuan left for her was to obtain his supreme merit and get rid of the fate of not having to suppress the underworld.
But now she has fallen in love with Xiaochuan, and there is absolutely no way she can devour him.
She is now riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.
On the one hand, by swallowing Xiaochuan, she can control her own destiny and not be dominated by others, but at the same time, without her evil power to suppress the underworld, the underworld will collapse, and the world will turn into a place of purgatory, and no one knows how many people will die.
The other side is to give up swallowing, and she will have to incarnate in the world to suppress the underworld, which means that she will no longer exist.
If it had been before, she wouldn't have cared about other people's lives or lives.
Even if the world ends, she will never frown.
But today is different from the past. There are many people she cares about in this world.
She didn't want to put the people around her in danger because of herself.
The choice Yechuan left for her depends on whether she is selfless or selfish.
Bai Yao felt very frustrated.
Why not have the best of both worlds?
Why can't she and Xiaochuan live happily together?
Why does one person have to bear everything?
Suzaku looked at her frowning and lost in thought, and whispered: "Don't think too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the wall! What is the saying? By the way, put it to death and then live!"
"Maybe in the end you will be able to recover from a desperate situation."
Bai Yao said quietly: "Go on, you haven't finished speaking yet. Why did Bai Hu become like this because of me?"
Suzaku thought that this incident was over, but he didn't expect that she still remembered it, so he had to tell the truth.
"It must have been hundreds of years ago. I was traveling around the world as a casual cultivator. I accidentally learned the secret of Yixiantian, so I went there. At that time, Yixiantian was quite chaotic, and the monks were constantly fighting for it.
The territory caused panic among the people there. I was also imprisoned in a dark prison due to an accident. I originally thought I would settle down in that dark place forever..."
That's right, the reason why he hates Yixiantian so much is because the first time he went there, he was bullied by those sanctimonious monks, beat him up badly, and finally threw him into a dark prison to fend for himself.
