In the fourth year of Jin Taiyuan, the first day of the second lunar month, Xiangyang.
The wind and snow came suddenly and swept this thousand-year-old ancient city overnight. The cold wave froze all the bright and warm lights left in the city, except for the rustling sound of snow and the crackling of charcoal in the red clay furnace.
Outside the city, 200,000 Qin troops were besieged, waiting for the final battle with the Jin army defending the city.
Chen Xing's eyes are dark now, and he is quite anxious. Why does he choose to come at this time? After trying his best to sneak into Xiangyang City, he has to find someone like a needle in a haystack. Even if he finds it, how will he get out of the city tomorrow morning?
Xiangyang City has been besieged for a full year. Today, the ammunition and food have been exhausted. The soldiers are too hungry to fight, and the people are too hungry to escape, but they have the strength to curse. For a while, the city was turbulent, and there was trouble.
After entering the city, Chen Xing managed to find Zhu Xu, the governor of Liangzhou, who was in charge of defending the city. , waiting for Chen Xing to speak.
"You say it again, in front of everyone, what are you doing?" Zhu Xu asked.
Chen Xing, dressed in a black robe, sat upright in front of him, and replied earnestly, "Qiyiqu, Mu Oh Demon, Master."
Zhu Xu said to the crowd, "He said he was a mage."
"It's not a mage." Chen Xing explained patiently: "It's an exorcist, I said it for the third time."
The lights in the main hall of the Prefect's Mansion were dazzling, illuminating his face. Chen Xing was dressed in black, matching his fair skin, with a dark-patterned brocade Han robe, holding a small gilt hand stove, a small medicine bag on his waist, and a pair of waders. Cloud Boots.
He was covered with a black cloth between his eyebrows, revealing pure rosy lips and a high nose - he was blind.
"Introduce myself, my name is Chen Xing." The young man added: "The 481st generation descendant of the Divine Exorcist, the only great exorcist in the world today, sixteen years old this year, seven feet nine inches, one hundred Thirty kilograms. People from Hanzhong, who inherited the great cause of exorcism among the heirs, came to Xiangyang on business, and hoped that Lord Zhu Xu would assist you. Here, you see, this is the document issued by the Minister of Officials of the Great Jin Dynasty, Xie Anxie. "
Inside the governor's mansion, there were people standing in the hall, all the strategists whispering to each other, and the numerous generals under his command all looked at this uninvited guest with suspicion.
"Master Xie?" After everyone read the hand letter submitted by the young man, Zhu Xu almost didn't catch his breath and asked, "Where are the reinforcements? I asked Xie An for reinforcements and sent me a mage. What does this mean?"
Chen Xing said sincerely: "I don't know about this, and once again, I'm not a mage either."
The discussion stopped for a while, and the governor Zhu Xu's heart beat faster, and asked the sentence that had been lingering in his heart.
"Can you help me retire the army outside the city?"
Chen Xing scratched his neck, thought for a while, and replied, "It's hard to say, it depends on the situation, I don't think 80% will be able to retreat."
"Exorcist." A sergeant observed for a long time and said, "You can spread beans to become a soldier?"
"No." Chen Xing answered cleanly.
"Have you ever watched the sky at night?" Zhu Xu said, "Can you call the wind and call for the rain to help me get up and down the whole city of Xiangyang and get out of the immediate danger?"
Chen Xing: "???"
Chen Xing pointed to his blindfold, meaning you let me watch the sky at night? I have to see it too!
"Boy! What spells and tricks do you know?" Another general said, "Even if you show your hands in front of the common people, it's okay for everyone to have the confidence to defend the city!"
With an innocent expression on Chen Xing's face, he replied: "Sprinkling beans into soldiers is all written in books to deceive people. There is no such spell in the world, at least not yet."
"Hey-"
Inspector Zhu Xu and everyone in the hall were all discouraged.
"Lord Inspector." Chen Xing said again: "The purpose of my trip is to find someone."
The people in the hall dispersed one after another. Zhu Xu thought that he had caught a life-saving straw, but he was dull and replied, "Who?"
"For me, the person who is destined." Chen Xing said earnestly: "My Dharma Protector Martial God is in the city of Xiangyang. This person is very important to me and the whole world."
Zhu Xu looked at Chen Xing suspiciously.
Chen Xing explained: "This destined person has appeared three times in my dreams, each time it is clearer and clearer, until the last time, I am very sure that this person is in Xiangyang City, as long as I find him, I will... "
Zhu Xuru saw hope, and a heart raised in his throat again.
"Can you help me break through the Qin army?"
Chen Xing explained sincerely: "No... I have to leave quickly, everyone is very busy, and I dare not delay your war."
Zhu Xu: "..."
"Please gather the whole city's strong men together." Chen Xing added: "For me to taste... For me to choose this guardian martial god, I assure you, this matter is related to the well-being of the land of China for thousands of years, you will not regret."
Zhu Xu wanted to say what kind of joke are you playing? However, this young man doesn't seem to be lying. If he really wants to find him for entertainment, he shouldn't enter the city at this most critical moment. To be honest, Zhu Xu doesn't even know how he got into the city. Maybe it's just a few days to live, or the phrase "thousand-year blessing" moved Zhu Xu. Anyway, hope is getting slimmer day by day. Anyway, he has a document from the Ministry of Personnel. Zhu Xu suddenly had an idea and wanted to see this. What the hell is this kid doing?
"All the strong men have joined the army." Zhu Xu said coldly: "You look for it in the army, and you will talk about it later when you find it."
An hour later, the remaining 12,200 officers and soldiers in the city, all the militiamen were called over and gathered in an emergency on the field outside the governor's mansion. Many people were still yawning.
It snowed lightly at dusk, and there was a couch in front of the governor's mansion. Chen Xing sat on the soft slump, facing the dark crowd below. There was a lot of discussion below. As soon as the army gathered, it seemed that there was a catharsis, and they began to clamor.
"Quiet! Quiet!" The leading general immediately began to scold.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Xu estimated that there was going to be a riot at this rate, so he hurriedly said, "Let's start soon."
Chen Xing: "..."
Chen Xing's hand trembled slightly, raised it slightly, and put it down again. A military advisor in the prefectural government noticed this detail and said in a low voice, "You seem a little nervous?"
"I'm not nervous at all." Chen Xing immediately denied the ill-intentioned accusation.
Not among these people, Chen Xing waited for a long time, the guidance he expected did not appear, he listened carefully, in the boundless darkness, there was only the "rustle" of snow.
Heart lamp, hurry up... hurry up and tell me, where is the Martial God? It's too late!
The voices were full of people, and the sergeants below gradually began to curse in anger, and some people began to ask for rations. In an instant, in the darkness brought by the blindfold, a flash of light appeared in the distance.
found it! Chen Xing got up immediately and walked quickly towards the flash.
"Hey! Hey!" The generals guarding Zhu Xu and the others hurriedly said, "Where are you going?!"
Chen Xing crossed the first row of officers and soldiers and walked quickly to the east side of the school grounds. Zhu Xu had to go down the steps to keep up. Then the generals dismissed the soldiers and drove them back. Seeing that it was another farce, they all expressed their helplessness. After scolding a few words, they went back to their respective homes.
Leaving the school grounds, and then turning into the governor's mansion, Chen Xing turned around and came to the west side of the mansion.
"Where is this?"
Zhu Xu and a group of soldiers flashed torches and rushed there, all looking at Chen Xing.
"Dungeon." Zhu Xu said.
A white light suddenly illuminated in front of him, getting closer.
"Open the door." Chen Xing said seriously.
"You can't go in! There is..." A general was about to stop him, but Zhu Xu motioned to open the door.
Just blindfolded, Chen Xing walked through the dark corridor under the governor's mansion, lit with oil lamps, turned a corner, and went straight into the deepest part of the dungeon. The light in front of him disappeared from time to time, like a heartbeat. Suddenly, the room was bright and bright, and suddenly everything was silent and dark, and it continued to flicker in the deepest part of the cell.
In the depths of the dungeon, the cells on both sides were full of white bones and wailing prisoners. At the end of the corridor, in the iron cell, there was a low moan like a dying beast.
Chen Zhen stopped outside the last cell and stood quietly across the iron fence.
The prisoner was a man. The man was bound by iron chains and curled up on the ground. He was all over his body, except for tattered shorts hanging from his waist and crotch. There was a moldy wooden basin in front of him. It's been a few days. Now that the army is besieging the city, it is very difficult for even the good people to survive in the city, and there is no one to take care of the food and drink of a prisoner.
The man had hair disheveled, his ribs were thin, and his body, legs, and back were covered with welts. In the deepest part of this moldy and damp cell, he was so sick that he could only breathe out, but not breathe in. Although he is already half dead, when he is curled up, he can finally see his tall stature, but his face is dirty and his facial features are not discernible.
"Please open the door." Chen Xing said.
"No way!" The clerk stopped him: "Boy! You don't know the origin of this person! Don't let him out!"
Chen Xing said seriously: "Xin Deng chose him."
"Fuck your motherfucker!" A military general finally couldn't hold back and began to curse: "Liar! My lord, this person is a liar!"
Zhu Xu did not speak, but motioned to open the prison door.
Chen Xing walked into the cell and knelt in front of the man. The man was very quiet and motionless. Immediately afterwards, Chen Xing took off the black cloth covering his eyes, showing clear eyes and observing the man.
Everyone: "… "
Chen Xing said to the man, "Are you still alive?"
The man closed his eyes tightly, his forehead was hot, but he couldn't help shivering. His lips were blue and purple. The prison was filled with a rust gas after diarrhea. After a while, he suddenly gasped like crazy.
Chen Xing immediately knelt down on one knee and held his forehead with one hand. Then, the man opened his eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and finally closed his eyes and passed out.
Chen Xing immediately motioned left and right to open the chains, picked up the man, and found that although the man was hungry and sick, he was already too thin to be human, but his body was still very heavy, and he was nearly nine feet long. Changed to half back and half drag...
"Hands up!" Chen Xing frowned.
The prefect Zhu Xu and everyone looked at Chen Xing with a puzzled look.
"He's pretending to be blind!" said the clerk. "Pretend! What a liar!"
Chapter 2 First Encounter ┃ I gave him all the medicine, now you tell me that he has thousands of lives on him?
After a stick of incense:
There has long been a quarrel about Chen Xing's identity in the governor's mansion, and everyone said that the young man's intentions are quite suspicious and must be investigated carefully.
Zhu Xu said, "The official documents issued by Xie An will not be false! What do you want me to do?"
The general said: "With a document, there is absolutely no reason to take away a death row!"
"I'm afraid they are spies sent in from outside the city!" Another humane said: "The death row prisoners are all people who do all kinds of evil, even if the city is broken, they will never let them live!"
In the mansion room:
Chen Xing put the man on the couch, sat on the threshold and gasped, wiped his face, went out and poured some water, opened the medicine bag by the waist, and took out a pill. Opening the man's mouth, the man only clenched his teeth and trembled, unable to feed him. After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xing had to chew the pill, dissolve it with a little cold water, squeeze his chin, and force-feed him to his mouth.
is it him? Chen Xing frowned and looked at his face, recalling what he saw in his dream, the snow-covered Xiangyang City, the building in the city is the Prefect's Mansion, that's right. Just now, the heart lamp flashed three times, the first time it guided him to the dungeon, the second time it flashed in front of the dungeon, and the third time it landed in the deepest cell of the cell.
"What's your background?" Chen Xing wiped his face and murmured, "Why are you the one chosen by the heart lamp?"
There was a message from outside that Zhu Xu wanted to see him, but Chen Xing had not made arrangements yet, and wanted to ask Zhu Xu to wait for a while, but the visitor did not leave, but stubbornly waited outside the door, Chen Xing had no choice but to hurriedly followed. .
The snow kept falling, and Zhu Xu stood on the third floor of the governor's mansion, overlooking the whole city of Xiangyang.
Chen Xing came to the back of Zhu Xu, facing the lights in the city, and if there was nothing in the distance, the sound of the flute sounded, as if the person playing the flute was weeping.
"Explain it to me." Zhu Xu said, "Otherwise, you cannot take this death row prisoner away, no matter if you are an exorcist or not."
Chen Xing looked at Zhu Xu, and suddenly asked, "Sir, do you believe that there are gods and monsters in the world? Do you believe that I have magic power? Actually, I guess you don't believe it."
Zhu Xu sighed and had to admit: "What I did today was just to stabilize the morale of the army in front of them. Tell the truth, don't lie anymore, your real purpose is this prisoner, am I right? Who told you Come and take him away? It can't be Xie An. Are you sent by the Hu people?"
After speaking, Zhu Xu became serious again and said word by word:
"Let me think about it clearly. If you say the wrong word, you will fall to the ground. Even if the city can't be defended tomorrow, I am the city owner today, and I can kill you at any time."
Chen Xing stared at the sword by Zhu Xu's waist, and then looked at his eyes, and knew that Zhu Xu was beginning to perceive something was wrong - in the eyes of others, he was just a young man pretending to be a ghost. Previously, he covered his eyebrows with a black cloth just to be able to feel the heart lamp more keenly. This was not a deliberate deception. In fact, even Chen Xing never imagined that the person he was looking for was a death row prisoner.
Chen Xing replied: "Okay, I'll tell you all, if you want to draw the sword, wait until I finish talking."
Zhu Xu turned around, looked at Chen Zhen's eyes, and said coldly, "Speak. I see what kind of flowers you can make up!"
"I really have to start from the beginning. Life is really short, and it's a long story. Since the governor insists on listening, it's okay to tell you. There is mana in the world, just three hundred years ago."
Zhu Xu frowned slightly, but Chen Xing began to mention the so-called "magic" again.
"Three hundred years ago, there were demons, mana, and people with powerful mana..." Chen Xing had to pretend that he couldn't see Zhu Xu's face, walked aside, and explained slowly.
That year when Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty was in power, Ban Chao envoy to the Western Regions and set a policy for the Western Regions for a hundred years. The surname of Shenzhou Dadi lives and works in peace and contentment, and the careers of alchemists, samurai and Danshi are at their peak. The so-called "demon clan" in word of mouth were driven out by powerful exorcists to the southwest of Yizhou and the area of 100,000 mountains in Yelang country.
After the demons are eliminated, human beings have only one mission left—to seek longevity.
The alchemists believe that as long as they communicate with heaven and earth, absorb spiritual energy, and practice magic, they can live forever. But on one day, all the "mana" in the world disappeared overnight.
Disappearing without warning, all the magical treasures in the world turned into scraps in the blink of an eye, and the artifacts used to eliminate demons also became ordinary soldiers. True tricks and magic have all lost their effectiveness, ranging from moving mountains and reclaiming seas to as small as five ghosts and fortune-telling.
"It's gone." Chen Xing made a meaningless gesture towards Zhu Xu and said, "From now on, the land of Shenzhou will no longer have any magic power. This is what the exorcists call 'all things return to silence'."
"Oh?" Zhu Xupi said with a smile, "So, what about now?"
Chen Xing said regretfully: "Some people say that the 'Xuanmen' that releases the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is closed."
Lao Tzu said, "Mysterious and mysterious, the door to all wonders." At that time, people believed that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was released from the invisible "Xuanmen" in the void of the sky. There was no magic power, maybe the mysterious door was closed. So they offered sacrifices to heaven, worshipped mountains and rivers, and tried every means, but all of them were useless.
Fortunately, the demon clan did not cause chaos on a large scale. After all, in the years when exorcists were popular, the demons were all crippled. If new birds and beasts wanted to cultivate into demons, they had to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Without spiritual energy, naturally, it is impossible to make waves. After all, it is very tiring to only consume demon power to do bad things without picking up supplements.
There are pros and cons to returning to solitude. There are no monsters, and there is no need for an exorcist in the world.
But the problem lies in another place - if the demons can't cultivate, the "demon" may not necessarily be.
"The devil is the grievances of the world." Chen Xing said: "There is resentment in the human world. All things are born in the sky, return to the earth, and enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, but this resentment cannot be eliminated. To put it bluntly, it is a plague. War, famine, the more people die, the easier it is to gather grievances.”
During the reign of Emperor Hui, the Sima family of the royal family competed for the throne, and a total of 800,000 people died in the civil war. Guanzhong suffered from severe drought year after year, frequent famines, and more than 2 million people died of starvation and disease.
During the Yongjia period, the Huns Liu Yuan broke the Huguan and captured Luoyang, and Liu Yao captured Chang'an. 1.8 million people died in Guanzhong, Guanlong and other places. Jin people traveled south in clothing and fled to Jiankang, where they were ruled by the natural dangers of the Yangtze River.
Jieren Shileke Jinyang, and Bingzhou, more than two million people were killed and injured.
The Murong clan of Xianbei fought a war with Jin general Heng Wen, and 400,000 people died. The Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Jie tribes looted and looted in the Central Plains, never bringing food and grass, calling the Han people "two-legged sheep" and serving as military rations along the way. Twenty years ago, the Jin court estimated that the population of the Central Plains was 20 million, and when Ran Min exterminated Jie Zhao, the population of the people was less than 4 million.
But the good times did not last long, Ran Min city was destroyed, was killed by the Murong clan, lost Jizhou, and the people were slaughtered again.
"After the calculation, wipe a zero." Chen Xing said to Zhu Xu: "Lord Inspector, there are always 20 million. The first 10 million were Han Chinese, who died under the cavalry of Wuhu. Millions of Hu people killed each other. , and intensified the birth of resentment."
Even if he knew that Chen Xing was lying, Zhu Xu was still fascinated and replied, "The world is in chaos, and human life is like grass."
Chen Xing said: "Dating back to a long time ago, the three families of Wei, Shu, and Wu divided the world. For a hundred years, there were endless wars, and tens of millions of people died in battle. Therefore, in the past three hundred years, more than three people died in the land of Shenzhou. Tens of millions of people. The grievances of these 30 million people, lingering between heaven and earth, have long exceeded the limit that can be accommodated in China. As for the origin of the 'magic', I have never seen it before. There are very few historical records, and I will not list it first. I will pick the most important ones. It is just that someone has to be prepared in advance and be on guard at any time. The appearance of the devil."
"My ancestors were from Jinyang, and my parents died young. After the battle between Fu Jian and Murong's Huguan, he moved to Huashan to escape from the world."
Chen Xing still clearly remembers the battle nine years ago, even though he was only seven years old at the time. The family mansion caught fire, and grandma ordered a loyal servant to send him to an old friend in the depths of Mount Hua to study the heavenly officials and stars, and practice the art of exorcising demons. I don't know how many generations of ancient books have been passed down, and now, in the era when all laws have returned to silence, they have already been covered with dust and are useless.
Just when he turned sixteen, Chen Xing had a dream—he dreamed of a big city he had never been to. After the master heard it, he thought for a long time, suspected that it was Xiangyang City, and told him that dreams are the guidance of the heart lamp. The Dharma Protector Martial God is waiting for him in this city. You must find the Dharma protector first, and with his help, you can complete your mission.
"So, here I am, I'm standing here." Chen Xing finally said.
"Finished?" Zhu Xu slowly drew out his sword: "After waiting for a long time, you finally made up such a ridiculous story for me?"
Chen Xing did not step back, facing Zhu Xu's sword, his right hand was placed in front of his left chest, and then he raised his hand, and a bright white light burst out from his hand, facing Zhu Xu!
Zhu Xu only thought that the young man was still trying to pass the test in a gullible way, but he didn't expect the light to come suddenly, and he was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes.
"This... what kind of trick is this?" Zhu Xu held up his sword and couldn't start for a while.
"This is the heart lamp." Chen Xing replied.
Zhu Xu was shocked: "You really are... a mage, can you shine? What's the use of this light?"
Chen Xing answered honestly: "It's useless, it can only shine occasionally."
Zhu Xu: "..."
Zhu Xu was immediately suspicious, Chen Xing helplessly spread his hands, the light faded, and explained: "I read the historical records and learned that the heaven and earth are in great trouble, and when China fell, there were the guardians of the heart lamp and the protectors of the martial arts. Exorcism. The heart lamp suddenly appeared in the world, indicating that the resurrection of the 'demon' is approaching, I must find the god of war, awaken his power, and help the world resist the danger of the demons coming."
"What kind of dispute between Hu and Han is a trivial matter. As soon as the demons appear, the entire land of Shenzhou will be completely overturned, all living beings will be wiped out, the earth will be washed, and return to the prehistoric era, and everything will start again. Whether you are a Hu or a Han, everyone Can't run away."
"You... you..." Zhu Xu was speechless for a moment.
Chen Xing said helplessly: "I don't want to, okay? Sir, understand, do you think I want to come to Xiangyang?"
"After Master died, I quickly packed my things, left Huashan, hired a car, rushed to Xiangyang, got on a boat, entered the city without any risk, and found the city lord's mansion, which is indeed here. I have to inherit the great lineage and restore the great cause of exorcism in the world, and I also recognize it. In the end, I don’t know why, I left a ready-made strong man and went to the dungeon and found a tuberculosis ghost, I’m still thinking about how to get out of the city!”
At this moment, the master book sent the roster, Zhu Xujian returned to its sheath, took it, and glanced at it.
The master book: "The prisoner's identity directory has been found. The name is 'Xianshu', and he is a Hu."
Zhu Xu's brows were deeply furrowed, and he believed in Chen Xing for the time being.
Chen Xing pondered for a while, and replied: "Hu people and Han people, to me... it's not that important. Well, I really don't like Hu people, it's hard to do, but he doesn't look like ah... Hu people ? Hu people have the surname Xiang? Which clan?"
Zhu Xu turned the booklet to the last page. It was the supplementary booklet of the detention directory brought by the escort officer half a year ago. The first line that came into view was the words "Demon Xiangshu".
Registrar: "In the first year of Taiyuan, Jianwei Zhonglang escorted this person to Jiankang, and after asking the details, he was beheaded and executed, but no matter how he was tortured along the way, this person never opened his mouth. The escort officer was passing through Xiangyang. At that time, he fell ill and died, and Xiang Shu was imprisoned in the city. He wanted to hand it over to Jiankang, but there were too many death row prisoners, so he forgot about it for a while, and has been locked up in prison until now.”
"Six months ago, innocent people were slaughtered in Guanzhong and sacrificed their blood to heaven." Zhu Xu said, "We killed a total of 2,000 people in six villages of Hu people and Han people. Men, women, children, and dogs were not spared, and we fought even more. The officers and men of Dajin took a lot of effort to catch him."
Zhu Xu is now reluctant to believe about the concern about the lamp, but brings a new question: "How did you choose this person?"
Chen Xing said in disbelief, "Why did you choose him? I don't know!"
When Chen Xing said this, he immediately became uneasy. Could it be that the flash in front of him was his own hallucination?
Chen Xing took the roster and saw only a few lines at the top: Xiang Shu, massacred more than 2,000 civilians, Hu people's warriors, guessed it was a military attache, and the tribal affiliation was unknown... Is there such a thing?
"I gave him all the medicine, and now you tell me that he has thousands of lives on him?" Chen Xing said.
"Didn't I tell you not to let him out?" Zhu Xu said, "You better get another one."
Chen Xing said: "Can this be changed? Can't be changed! Wait, I think this matter has to be discussed in the long run. I will ask in detail after he recovers. What if he is wronged?"
Chen Xing was restless and turned away in a hurry. Zhu Xu frowned deeply, turned to Lord Lou, and looked out of the city wall from the north mansion. The distance was densely packed, and the army from the northern Qin Kingdom was stationed from afar.
At the same time, in the guest room of the Governor's Mansion, the man suddenly gasped and his life came back.
Chen Xing returned to the room, closed the door, looked out the door, then looked back at the man, alive. How to do? Should I strangle him? But other people say, he must be given a chance to defend himself, right? And this is my protector! Chen Xing had already regarded this man named Xiang Shu as "my thing" and could not be strangled to death.
Decide now and ask him when he can speak. So Chen Xing asked for a basin of hot water to wipe his body.
"Your name is Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing observed the man's face and murmured, "Hu Ren?"
The man has a high nose and deep eyes, well-defined facial features, and his face is more sunken because of his thinness. His mustache and hair have not been shaved for half a year.
Chen Xing could only simply wipe him, and the rest had to wait for him to recover before washing himself. When rubbing his body, he found that the man had long, slender fingers with well-defined knuckles, long hands and feet, large soles and seemingly strong and powerful legs.
My family caregiver seems to be able to fight very well, and Chen Xing is very satisfied.
Chen Xing took out a silver needle from the medicine bag and plunged it into the acupuncture point in his waist, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
Chen Xing immediately gave a little back, took a needle and put it in front of his nose to smell.
"You've been poisoned." Chen Xing said tentatively, "I've given you the Resurrection Pill. You won't be able to move or speak for six hours. At this time tomorrow night, your body will return to normal. Then eat something and you will recover slowly.”
The man opened his eyes and stared at Chen Xing, but his eyes were very bright, but with a dangerous look like a beast. Chen Xing turned his head slightly and frowned, thinking about what the Zuo Fa said in his mind.
"You were chosen by the heart lamp." Chen Xing said: "From this moment on, you are the protector of martial arts. I am the Great Exorcist, my name is Chen Xing, and the word is Tianchi. But I heard that you... Killed Many people? Is it true or false?"
"No matter what you did in the past." Chen Xing thought for a while, then reluctantly said: "If I hadn't rescued you, in a few days, if the city was destroyed, you wouldn't be able to survive. You must know this, right? You can't touch me."
The man was speechless, his eyes turned away, Chen Xing pulled the quilt over, covered him, and tucked it a little better, wondering if he should be tied up with the quilt first, lest this man be a murderer, and the medicinal power would explode in an instant. It's not easy to control. If this is the case, it would be too stupid to think that he was the first exorcist killed by his protector.
But after thinking about it, I have a life-saving grace for him. This person doesn't look like a mad dog, and he should not be a benefactor... Chen Xing yawned, really sleepy, sitting at the table, lying on his back. On the table, look sideways at him.
I left Huashan half a month ago and traveled across mountains and rivers to Xiangyang. There were all the Qin troops besieging the city. It took a lot of effort just to enter the city. Unable to find the strength to tie the man named Xiangshu with a rope, he wanted to take a nap, but fell asleep before he knew it.
I don't know how long I slept, when a loud noise suddenly woke Chen Xing up.
"The Qin army has attacked the city—"
"The city is broken-"
Chen Xing fell into a daze and stood up straight. There were loud noises outside, crying, shouting, and fighting.
No way, so coincidentally? Chen Xing immediately got up and went out, only to hear the screams of killing and having entered the courtyard, a cup of fire passed over his head, smashed on the roof of the governor's house, burst into flames, and when he went out again, he suddenly caught a glimpse of men and women on the street being burned by flames, Dancing wildly in the flames, he rushed out.
"The city is broken!" A soldier rushed in and shouted: "Go! The governor has gone to the south of the city! Fight the enemy there! Go! Don't delay!"
The Prefect's Mansion was located in the north, and when the city wall was broken, this place was the first to be attacked by cavalry.
