"Come down here. "Elegant * Wen * Words * First * Hair *'" He Qingqiu pointed to a place on the chessboard and patiently pointed out the person in front of him.
The fleshy little hand grabbed a chess piece and carefully placed it where he pointed. Then the owner of the hand asked: "Is this really here?"
He Qingqiu held his forehead, took a deep breath, looked at the young girl in front of him as kindly as possible and said, "Yes, Fire Phoenix."
"Oh..." Huohuang nodded as if he understood, and then asked, "What's next? Does Fengxian also want to take a piece?"
The green eyes of Fengxian who was serving behind her flashed slightly. He leaned close to Huohuang and said softly: "Playing chess is a matter for two people. You can learn from Mr. He and I will watch."
He Qingqiu looked at him and then at Huo Huang, who looked confused, and suddenly sighed. He rubbed his eyebrows vigorously and said, "Hasn't Huo Huang grown up in these years?"
"Are you blaming me for not taking good care of him?" Fengxian asked him displeasedly. Before He Qingqiu could react, Huohuang stood up.
She was so nervous that she was sweating. She fiddled with the corners of her clothes with her fingers, feeling somewhat at a loss: "It's not Fengxian's fault, it's my own fault!"
He Qingqiu had nothing to say at this time. He nodded as if accepting his fate and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I don't blame him. Sit tight and I will continue to teach you."
Huo Huang then sat down uneasily and followed He Qingqiu's instructions step by step. He Qingqiu took a step, then explained to her why she had to take this step, and then let her think of a countermeasure. But as soon as Huo Huang made the decision, he became extremely nervous, sweating profusely, and looked like he was about to faint. Seeing that she was under too much pressure, He Qingqiu couldn't bear to push her. He always pointed out a place for her to let go.
"Do you know why you came here?" He Qingqiu put down the black pieces in his hand and asked Huo Huang calmly.
Huohuang was in a hurry, she stumbled and said: "Because you just placed a stone next to me, these two unite and work together, and then... we can win..."
The more she spoke, the weaker she became. Finally, her face turned red and she lowered her head, not saying another word. He Qingqiu listened to her explanation of the chess game in silence, not knowing whether to cry or laugh. Fengxian patted her head, and the warmth in his hand was transferred to her body, which quickly calmed her down. She said shamefully: "I don't know, I just said nonsense, I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He Qingqiu looked at her with a complicated expression, "Raise your head, Huohuang, you didn't do anything wrong. Besides, even if you made a mistake, no one in this world is qualified to ask you to lower your head."
Fengxian also comforted her softly: "Take your time, we are not in a hurry. "Elegance, Wen, Yan, Qing, First Hair"
But Huohuang was still uneasy. She looked like she was about to cry: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so bad, I wouldn't have dragged everyone down. Fengxian, do you think there would be any consequences if you killed me?" How about another better Fire Phoenix to take this position?"
Fengxian's face suddenly turned ugly. He clenched his hands and remained silent for a long time before saying, "There is no other Fire Phoenix. For me, you are always the only one."
He Qingqiu who was standing next to him suddenly felt that he was a bit of an eyesore, so he turned around and pretended to be looking at the chessboard. At this time, Fengxian said in a deep voice: "Don't say such things... Please, my Phoenix."
"Ahem, okay, let's go here first." He Qingqiu finally couldn't stand it any longer. He and Fengxian looked at each other and said in an unquestionable tone, "Fire Phoenix, please rest first. Lord Fengxian and I How about a game of chess?"
Fengxian's green eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to Huohuang: "You go out first, I will be there soon."
Huohuang sniffed and gradually disappeared from the scroll. In a blink of an eye, only He Qingqiu and Fengxian were left in the bamboo forest. Fengxian lifted up his black robe and sat in front of He Qingqiu. He said coldly: "What do you want to say?"
"Fengxianzun paid too close attention to that child." He Qingqiu lazily cleaned up the chessboard and started a new game, "Jinghuaxianzun and you both feel sorry for her, so we don't let her see the mess in this troubled world. But she didn’t know it herself. She thought that she didn’t do well enough and was holding back Immortal Dao, and she felt more and more inferior to herself and blamed herself. It’s not good to go on like this.”
Fengxian's face had always been unsightly, and he replied coldly: "My phoenix is the auspiciousness of heaven and earth. If it encounters the vicissitudes of troubled times, it will definitely die early. Jinghua and I have no choice but to do so."
"What are you talking about..." He Qingqiu scoffed, fidgeting with the chess book in his hand and saying, "If you want to keep Fire Phoenix, you shouldn't have joined the world in the first place. Now that Mianfenglang has joined the world, don't make such empty talk. "
Fengxian's eyes were slightly cold, but He Qingqiu looked at him calmly and continued: "For Fengxian Zun, what exactly is Fire Phoenix?"
"King, half body, part of life." Fengxian replied without hesitation.
He Qingqiu shook his head regretfully, the mockery in his eyes getting stronger: "Fengxian Zun can't feel it, you live too long. You always wake up every time the Fire Phoenix appears, watching She is young and promising, assist her, and then stand at the pinnacle of immortality with her. Because you will always meet her in her most beautiful years, so you will have an illusion... She is not dead, she is always there .”
"That's enough, shut up." Fengxian looked stern. The word "death" obviously touched some kind of taboo on his part.
He Qingqiu kept his calm and sharp eyes and continued without hesitation: "But the fact is that she has been knocked down from the world of mortals long ago. Immortal Lord, you know that after going through reincarnation, she is no longer the same person as before. . Just like orchid grass... "
He pointed to a few orchids that came out of the cracks on the edge of the chessboard and said, "If you only look at it when it's blooming, you might think it's always the same plant. But if you can look at it squarely, With each passing year, you will understand that it is different every year. The one before has died, and now it is brand new and different from each one before. "
Fengxian's face was ashen, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
"They say Fire Phoenix does nothing, but I think the problem should be with Fengxian Zun. It's your fault. You should have let go."
Although He Qingqiu's voice was gentle, his words were tainted with the harshness of the spring cold in March, which made Fengxian's heart feel cold.
"I don't know what to do with her anymore..." Fengxian was silent for a long time before suddenly saying something. He Qingqiu felt that he was about to be pushed to the limit, and he said, "Mr. He, do you have any advice?"
He Qingqiu sighed slightly in his heart, and then said: "Let her take me to the Beichuan battlefield. I'm going to die anyway, so it's better to die spectacularly."
He thought, in fact, no one did anything wrong, it's just that in this troubled world, they are not forgiving.
"good."
Fengxian closed her eyes slightly, and the hot and unfamiliar liquid slid down the stern face and trickled into the open red clothes. He Qingqiu did not look at his weeping look, but turned to look at the lush bamboo forest. There is a broken stone tablet in the bamboo forest. There is no word on the stone tablet. There is a cup of turbid wine and a few dogwood leaves in front of the tablet.
"Fengxian Zun can stabilize Guiling Temple here. I, Mo Ling, will do my best over Beichuan." He Qingqiu stood up and walked towards the stone tablet. He lifted the cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry wine and stared at the dark red wine. of new wine.
Fengxian also stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "I hope that Mo Ling's trip can avenge his past humiliation, punish those who mess with the way, and reset the sacred track of humanity."
He Qingqiu drank all the wine in his glass, and there was only a sigh in the wind.
·
In the Gaya Imperial Capital, fire was raging in the originally silent and solemn palace. Countless people were wailing and mourning. Blood flowed out of the palace gate. The entire moat was filled with the red and black color of decay.
Countless gorgeous palaces were turned into scorched earth. This imperial city that had stood for thousands of years was conquered overnight. Those who once feared it and wept under its feet can now step on it. It was the first time for the common people who had been handling farm tools all their lives to see this kind of place, with walls built of gold, a roof made of jade, pearls inlaid on the walls, and mountains of treasures in the treasury. They broke into a place that had been carefully built by countless skilled craftsmen for generations, and stuffed everything they could see and move into their arms.
Huangfu Liuxian stood in the sea of fire, looking at these motley soldiers who were completely losing their temper and couldn't help frowning: "Everyone obeys the order! No rape, sexual intercourse or robbery! No killing or wounding of defenseless people!"
Her voice didn't spread far before it was drowned out by the collapse of a huge bronze cauldron. The bronze cauldron stood in front of the emperor's chamber, which was two stories high. Several people wanted to climb into the cauldron. At this time, the base of the cauldron cracked and shattered due to the high temperature. The giant cauldron fell down because it lost its balance, and those people were smashed into a pulp.
The remaining soldiers stepped over the corpses of these people and crawled into the cauldron, and then took out pieces of sacrificial instruments from inside.
"Stop!" Huangfu Liuxian drew his sword brazenly and said to the guards on his left and right, "Control them!"
"Hey..." A cold laugh came from behind her, "You expect these brainless beasts to stop? It's better to chop off their claws first."
Huangfu Liuxian turned around: "Mr. Song?"
Song Liyou walked over slowly, and the ghostly aura eroded the soldiers who were in a frenzy: "How the Gaya Dynasty treated them, they would treat them the same way, blood, killing, rape... During the Gaya Dynasty's tyranny, they would treat them the same way. This is all they have seen and learned."
The bodies of those people gradually became exhausted, and Huangfu Liuxian was horrified to see black ghosts emerging from their corpses. These ghosts were full of resentment, biting people when they saw them, and turning all living things into blood clots. And those people killed by them were brought back to Fengdu City due to the influence of ghosts, and became the helpers of Song Liyou's men.
Song Liyou covered his mouth and nose with a folding fan contemptuously. He couldn't bear the filthy smell in the air. He said: "People are stupid and cruel. When you defeat them, you can dominate them. I think you It’s easy to be smarter than them, the only thing that’s not easy is to be crueler than everyone else.”
Song Liyou walked forward, and everywhere he stepped turned into a ghostland, with no trace of humanity left. The black city fell from the sky and overlapped with this endless palace, continuously draining the dragon vein king energy. Song Liyou felt quite contentedly as he was tempered by the royal destiny, and suddenly felt that this job was not too bad.
"Mr. Song was once a minister of Gaya?" Huangfu Liuxian caught up with her. Her body was filled with purple aura, and she was not afraid of the rich ghostly aura around Song Liyou.
Song Liyou folded his fan and waved it with a smile: "Yes, my name was given by the Emperor, and my life was also controlled by the Emperor. It's a pity that I couldn't bear this kind of kindness hundreds of years ago. '. Now that I have finally settled the cause and effect, I no longer have any ties to the world, and the path to enlightenment is just around the corner!"
Huangfu Liuxian didn't understand the rest of his words, but he understood the first few sentences.
The sun and the moon are getting dull, and the wind and rain are just leaving the worries.
What Emperor Gaya bestowed upon this poet-collector was never blessing, but suffering from sorrow and hardship. Now he has finally given it all back. From now on, he will no longer be disturbed by thoughts and resentments, all earthly connections are gone, and the road is clear.
