On the night of the late autumn festival, the Chuan Huhu gathered at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the "Dunnu" Rouran people to respectfully invite Danyu to light the Yeshiming fire. This will be the climax of the night. In the Han Dynasty, they were forging slaves under the rule of the Xiongnu. The fire of the furnace burns for a long time, like the flame of a dragon, to show the meaning of the furnace of heaven and earth.
It also symbolizes that in the ancient alliance of Chile, many tribes will be united in this huge furnace.
Chen Xing: "When you came last time, why didn't you have this ceremony?"
Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, but did not answer, his eyebrows were handsome and his eyes lit up in the night.
Chen Xing: "???"
Che Luofeng came with a torch and saluted Xiangshu.
On the side, there is another Tie Le person holding a Qiang flute and a guqin waiting.
All the sixteen Hu patriarchs came, Xiang Shuxian took the torch from Che Luofeng and lit the dragon's tail.
The flames blazed up, and along the long winding dragon, slowly spread to the whole body of this behemoth, and more than 100,000 people in Chilechuan looked up at this magnificent scene.
"All the grasslands of the four seas are the land of the Great Danyu; all the people in the whole world are the people of the Great Danyu."
"I will praise the name of Shulukong, the master outside the Great Wall and the number one warrior in the world."
"May the ancient alliance of Chile live forever, the water and grass are rich, and the descendants of the people of Chile Chuan will have longevity and longevity!"
The sixteen Hus lined up, bowed their bodies, said loudly in various languages, and then knelt down and worshipped Xiangshu. Then, from the beginning of the hillside where the fire dragon was located, it spread to the entire Chile River, and all the people knelt down.
"You don't have to kneel." Xiang Shu whispered towards Chen Xing.
Lu Ying and Chong Ming had already retreated, Xiao Shan hurried over, got behind the Xiongnu Patriarch, and learned to kneel on one knee.
Shi Mokun came to Xiang Shu, and Princess Ackler held a gold plate in her hand and placed it between the two.
"Today, in the name of Shulukong, Yinshan testified, resigned from this position and handed it over to Shi Mokun." Xiang Shulang said, "You must take Shi Mokun as the new chief chanyu, and the oath of the ancient alliance must not be violated."
Chen Xing finally understood why Murong Chong and Princess Qinghe chose to travel all the way to Chilechuan in this late autumn festival.
Xiang Shu first removed the feather crown and placed it on the gold plate, then removed the seal, took off the seal, and glanced at Chen Xing, who immediately took off the one in his hand and placed it on the gold plate. Xiang Shu took the jade bow again, and finally put it on the plate.
Shi Mokun said solemnly, "Follow its orders."
Then Shi Mokun put on the feather crown, ring, and seal, and retreated to the crowd in Tiele.
Xiang Shu finally turned around, facing Chen Xing, and the two looked at each other.
"Again," said Xiang, "now it's time to talk."
"Say... Say what?" Although Chen Xing had already experienced the unspeakable shock when he learned that Xiang Shu had resigned from the position of Da Chanyu last time, at the ceremony of his resignation, he was still in a turbulent mood and couldn't help it for a long time. calm.
"On the fifteenth day of the second month," Xiang Shu said, "on the way north to Chang'an, before the bonfire, you almost forgot what you said."
"You..." Chen Xing remembered and said, "Can you come and be my protector of martial arts?"
"Yes," Xiang Shu replied, "I promise you." Immediately, he raised his hand to Wu Wei beside him, Wu Wei presented the Qiang flute, Xiang Shu took it, and said, "But there is one condition."
Chen Xing stared blankly at Xiang Shu, the firelight reflected on their faces.
"Play a ballad for my hometown," Xiang Shu said. "Quan should give them an explanation. After all, you took their Da Chanyu with you on the Late Autumn Festival today."
Chen Xing then took the guqin, sat cross-legged on the ground, and put the guqin on his knees. Xiang Shu tried the audition, and the two played an ancient tune together.
The flames burned all over the body of the long dragon, and the blazing flames illuminated the chirping. Among the people, thousands of Qiang flutes followed, resounding through the night.
"Floating Life Song," Lu Ying said, "I haven't heard it for too many years."
Chong Ming and Lu Ying stood behind the fire dragon, their pupils reflecting bright fire.
"How do you plan?" Chongming asked.
The voice of the ancient song gradually subsided, and Lu Ying replied, "It's time to go."
Zhongming said: "You must solve this matter for the Lone King."
Lu Ying smiled and said to Chongming, "What about after that? Go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains and reconvene the demon clan?"
Chongming sneered: "Is the solitary king such a boring person? I just want to find the lost brother."
Fusheng Qu Xie, Xiang Shu held Chen Xing's hand, and Xiao Shan went around the fire dragon together, and found Chongming and Lu Ying, and the two stopped talking and looked at them.
Xiang Shu said: "Let's talk, I have a lot to say. When we meet again, it's too late to thank you."
When Lu Ying saw Xiang Shu's appearance, he knew that he remembered everything, and smiled slyly at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing thought to himself that you obviously had a way to help Xiang Shu recover his memory in Kalusha, but he had to wait until he came back and use such a method, the big monster is really cunning.
"No need to thank you." Chongming replied lightly, "You sacrificed yourself, released the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and saved the life of the lonely king. The lonely king recasts the body for you, and the two owe nothing to each other."
"No need to thank you." Lu Ying said, "You are all willing to sacrifice your life for the land of China for the responsibility of a fate imposed on you. Why bother with such a trivial thing that I can do?"
That's true, so Xiang Shu nodded, no longer polite, and said solemnly: "At that time, there are still some things that I haven't figured out. If you're not in a hurry, let's find a chance to chat tomorrow?"
Lu Ying smiled and said, "Life is like the morning dew, time is fleeting. Since there is a chance today, why don't the Dharma Protector Martial God talk about it?"
When Chen Xing heard this, he had a hunch that Lu Ying might have made a decision and had to leave tomorrow. Chong Ming and Lu Ying are both big monsters who have lived in this world for a long time, especially Lu Ying who has experienced a long time, and what they know is by no means comparable to the ancient books and secretaries. If you want to defeat Chi You, there are still many things to do to him Please don't miss such a good opportunity.
Chen Xing nodded to Xiang Shu, Xiang Shu pondered for a moment, and then made a "please" action.
At this time, Xiang Shu had changed his royal robe and was wearing the hunting robe of the Tiele tribe, which was similar to the warriors, but looked more luxurious. After regaining the memory of the past, he recovered the appearance of Chen Xing when he parted with him before the Battle of Feishui. He seemed steady and confident. He left the hillside with the person who knew the inside story and came under the ancient tree.
Under the starry sky, Xiang Shu ordered someone to serve milk tea. After sitting on the table, he tapped the table with his fingers unconsciously and lightly. He seemed to hesitate.
Chen Xing said, "In the end, Suixing sent back the memories of five people, Lu Ying, why do you remember?"
"I don't remember," Lu Ying said. "It's just a guess based on what Xiao Shan told me, and the phenomenon of Wanfa's resurrection."
Chen Xing was immediately shocked. Among the many people, only Lu Ying was able to infer the whole process without knowing the cause and effect.
Lu Ying explained: "My power is to guard the dream. The generation of the dream has a lot to do with time itself. It is not surprising to be able to speculate all this."
Chen Xing said "oh". He wanted to ask why dreams are related to time, but when he thought about thinking about the day, dreaming at night, and the appearance of a dream, it was a retrospective and experience of the past, so he no longer strayed from the topic.
"When Suixing left, I thought it was all over..." Chen Xing said again.
Xiang Shu recovered from his thoughts, interrupted Chen Xing's words, and said, "Let's check first, we don't know what's going on with each other, so we can make the next plan."
"Very good," Chongming said solemnly, "Finally, there is a sensible person. Otherwise, if Chen Xing is so rambunctious, when will he be able to defeat Chiyou? Most of the lonely kings can't survive with only the wreckage of the soldier."
Chen Xing thought so you can mock me.
But on second thought, Xiang Shu was indeed the most sober one. After getting his memory back, he first proposed a plan for the future. Only Xiang Shu and Xie An had such a mind.
"The last time Chen Xing was in a coma," Xiang said, "I went to Huashan."
"You told me later." Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu nodded and said, "There, I met Wang Meng sent by Chiyou."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Xiang Shu didn't mention this, but Wang Meng's appearance was just a message. He brought a message from Chi You, inviting Xiang Shu to go to the Magic Palace and make a deal with the soldier. Then the following series of things happened.
"The Magic Palace is under Feishui?!" Chen Xing exclaimed in shock.
Xiang Shu nodded and said, "Yes." Then he explained to them how he passed through the light curtain and what Prince Ye said in the ancient tidal formation.
Xiao Shan was dumbfounded. After all, he and Feng Qianjun were controlled by the blood of the devil after the battle with Feng Qianjun in the Yin Yang Jian, and he didn't know what happened later.
"Confirm the location of the Magic Palace," Xiao Shan said immediately, "We can solve Chiyou!"
Lu Ying asked back: "How to solve it? Fu Rushan has already fallen into Chiyou's hands."
This is also the most troublesome part of Chen Xing. He is not moving like a mountain. How can he defeat Chi You
"Yeah." Xiang Shu said, "We have to notify Xie An as soon as possible, stop the excavation there, and don't disturb Chi You until we find a new feasible way, or take back the refined magic spear."
Chen Xing said: "In the second Chang'an Chaos, we have already tried it. The grievances on the magic spear can't be purified like the yin and yang mirror."
"Because it has recognized its master," Chongming finally said, "It is very special to be immovable like a mountain."
Several people were silent for a moment, then Xiang Shu rolled up his sleeves, showed them his right arm, and said, "What the Dragon God gave me is exactly the nine runes on the mountain, what's the meaning?"
Chongming said: "This is the rune of exorcism, which is left by King Fuming in the world for exorcism. According to King Gu's conjecture, it should be that after Chiyou refined the Divine Sword, the rune was not transformed, and It dissipated and disappeared into heaven and earth. Zhuyin finally summoned this power from heaven and earth to you. In short, the lonely king felt that the possibility of recapturing the immovable mountains was very small, and there was no need to take this risk. It's more practical to find a way to destroy the magic spear."
Chen Xingdao: "Then I have a question, where did King Fudo and King Raneng go?"
Lu Ying said: "In this world, where you can't reach, beyond the time, there are many gaps in time. After the gods retreated, they left Shenzhou and lived in the gaps of time. Do you want to face them? Request, the method of recasting the sword? I don’t think it is necessary, even the dragon god Zhuyin can’t reach the place, so don’t expect it.”
Chen Xing accepted this statement, nodded, and asked, "Did Suixing come from these places too?"
Chongming replied: "I know very little about Tianwaitian, so I can't answer your question."
Xiang Shu knew that he had to rely on himself in the end, he pondered for a moment, and then said to Chen Xing, "Did Suixing say anything unusual to you before leaving?"
Chen Xing remembered, so he shattered Dinghaizhu, and when he was dying, he talked to Suixing in the dark and told them once.
"A stolen year?" Xiang said.
Chen Xing looked blank and said, "I don't understand a lot of what Xiaoji said."
"It can be said to be dead, or it can be said to be not dead," Chongming murmured, "What do you mean?"
"It should be said..." Chen Xing wondered, "Chi You could be considered dead at the time, but after the ancient tidal formation was launched, he came back to life?"
"No." Xiang Shu immediately denied Chen Xing's guess, and said solemnly: "If this is the case, Suixing will tell you that he is still alive, or 'he died now, but unfortunately he will come back to life', no so."
Chen Xing said: "But can a guy be both dead and not dead?"
Lu Ying replied: "Maybe the world Suixing sees in his eyes is different from our understanding. At the end of the soldier, two possibilities appeared at the same time, either completely eliminated or successfully resurrected. What Suixing saw was exactly the These two possible superpositions."
When Zhongming heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.
The four looked at Chongming at the same time, but Chongming said, "Continue talking."
"The stolen year," Xiang said, "refers to the decisions I made that led to Xing'er... Chen Xinghe..."
Xiang Shu unknowingly called Chen Xing's nickname, and was immediately a little embarrassed, but when Chen Xing heard it, he felt charming.
Xiang Shu changed his mouth and said, "I should have faced the final battle at the age of 20, but it was brought forward to the 19th year?"
Lu Ying nodded and said: "According to the meaning of the words, I think you guessed correctly. Dinghaizhu is not in the cause and effect of time, just like the magic weapon that constitutes your body is broken, the Dinghaizhu in all time will disappear. What you have done , and is not controlled by time causality.”
Chen Xing said: "But if Dinghaizhu disappeared all the time, then Zhang Liu wouldn't find Dinghaizhu, right? Why does this matter still exist in our memory? Year is still there?"
Lu Ying replied: "The established things cannot be changed according to the causal laws of heaven, earth and time, but because Dinghaizhu corresponds to the chakras of heaven and earth, they can change certain nodes at will, and change those things that Shulu Kong once hoped for. Changed. But it retains the rest of the cause and effect, and this is the most mysterious thing."
Chen Xing was already dazed, but Xiang Shu said, "Suppose I am still Ding Haizhu and go back in time, what will happen?"
Lu Ying said: "According to this rule, I think the result will be to disrupt a series of cause and effect traced back from the present, until the node you set, the previous ones will remain undisturbed."
Chen Xing said: "No wonder Chi You wants to get it anyway."
Lu Ying added: "Also, the Heaven and Earth Chakra itself has a powerful repair ability. Have you discovered that even if everything is repeated once, many things are still developing uncontrollably in a certain direction?"
"Well," Chen Xing nodded, "you need variables."
Xiang Shu said: "I remember at the end, I took out a ring and put it on Chen Xing's hand..."
"Ah?" Chen Xing said blankly, "Is there? Yes, I forgot what you gave me at that time. But when I woke up, I didn't have anything in my hands!"
Chen Xing suddenly panicked. He stretched out his hand for Xiang Shu to see, but he couldn't see the ring, and said, "Isn't it going to fall in Xiangyang? Either go back and find it? Is that what was left after Dinghaizhu was broken?"
Xiang Shu immediately said: "I don't blame you, I will disappear if I don't see you."
Chen Xingchao asked Xiangshu, "What is the use of the ring?"
Xiang Shu didn't know what was the use, he only thought of it as a last thought and left it to Chen Xing as a proof that he had lived in his life. And the remaining ring is most likely not limited by the law of time, and will follow Chen Xing back to the past. Now that everyone is fine, there is no need to worry about this ring anymore.
"That's the tide wheel," Lu Ying said softly. "In Dinghaizhu, it corresponds to the chakra of heaven and earth. Maybe it's useless when the beads are broken. Maybe the best thing is that it still retains a little effect. If you can find it , I suggest you try your best to find it."
Chen Xing asked: "What effect? For example?"
Lu Ying couldn't answer this question. After all, many things were beyond his knowledge, so he guessed, "Maybe we can travel through time to a certain extent? Not sure."
Xiao Shan was lying in front of the case, listening to them say a lot of inferences that he did not understand at all. He was so sleepy that he fell asleep. Lu Ying glanced at Xiao Shan and said to Chen Xing: "I will be leaving tomorrow, pick up Come down, please continue to take care of Xiao Shan."
Chen Xing nodded and said, "Going to find the Buddha?"
Lu Ying smiled and didn't answer. However, Xiang Shu was still thinking about the so-called "stolen year", and couldn't help but say: "If I didn't 'steal' that year from Suixing, then what happened next, whether Suixing also different perspectives?"
Lu Ying said: "I don't know Suixing, which must be the case. But this does not mean that Chen Xing will survive in the end. The most likely situation is that when Chen Xing turns 20, you work together to successfully remove it. Soldier Lord, in the end Chen Xing also died and Suixing left."
Xiang Shu got the answer he guessed and said, "Since this is the case, what will happen in the last year that should last?"
"Then I really can't answer you." Lu Ying said calmly, "It is said that in our future, with everyone's choices, countless possibilities arise. These choices themselves are called 'variables', but in the After all the 'variables' are put together, the only 'future' will emerge from the sea of time, and the other 'possibles' will all disappear, in other words, you can never know what is destined to happen."
"There is a way," Chongming finally said, "The Lone King once had a friend..."
Chen Xing and Xiang Shu immediately looked at Chongming. Chongming was about to say something when he suddenly noticed something, regained his indifferent expression, and raised his eyebrows at Chen Xing.
Item description: "?"
Chong Ming and Chen Xing looked at each other, and the corner of Chong Ming's mouth was slightly pulled, revealing a victorious look.
"Need help?" Chong Ming said.
Chen Xing: "…"
After Zhongming said this, he fell silent.
Chen Xing took a deep breath, but Lu Ying smiled and said, "You always have to make this third wish. Phoenix is very busy, and he also has his own things to do, so fate doesn't have to be forced."
When Chen Xing was about to give up his third wish, and instead asked Chongming for help, Xiang Shu asked, "Is this a promise?"
"Yes!" Chen Xing was a little frustrated and said, "I thought about something else!"
Xiang Shu's memories along the way have not disappeared. Chongming is always flying around, and every time he is courteous at critical moments, he asks Chen Xing "do you need help?" It is a phoenix, but more like a parrot, and now I finally understand.
Chen Xing sighed, but Xiang Shu signaled to him not to speak and to solve it himself.
So Xiang Shu said to Lu Ying, "If the demon king tells us this, then I think Chen Xing can say his third wish today."
Chong Ming: "..."
This time, Chongming became manic. Xiang only said "if", and Chen Xing didn't ask himself to do things for him. Upon seeing this, Xiang Shu said, "Forget it if you don't want to, let's keep this agreement, and we'll figure out a way on our own."
Lu Ying collapsed under the tree with a smile.
Chongming finally saw the dawn coming, only to see Chen Xing and Xiang Shu about to leave, and said angrily: "Wait!"
I saw Chongming took out a phoenix feather from his arms and said: "I have an old friend, called Yuan Kun, who lives in the outer sea. Feather, if he is in a good mood, maybe he will come to see you."
Chen Xing was a little dazed and took the feather. Lu Ying looked at Chongming with questioning eyes, and Chongming nodded.
Lu Ying said, "It's that lord... Well, maybe he can solve your doubts. He is very old, and he is also the god who masters dreams."
Chen Xing said, "Isn't he the same as you?"
"No," Lu Ying said, "he has another kind of power. Through dreams, he can predict the future and see the countless 'possible' abilities hidden under the sea of time."
Chen Xing put away the feathers, so that they might still be able to see what happened in the "stolen year". Although Chen Xing was a little curious about this, he didn't quite believe that Chi You could be solved because of this. But since this is what Xiang Shu is most concerned about now, there must be his reasons for wanting to recast the sword? But in those three years, hasn't there been something immovable like a mountain
"Come on." Chongming suppressed his anger. After being reborn from the ashes, he was simply played around by Chen Xing. Maybe he will not forget Chen Xing until the end of this millennium. I don't know how many days and nights will follow , as long as you close your eyes, Chen Xing's hateful smiling face will appear in front of you.
Chen Xing took a deep breath and seemed to be thinking. Finally, he laughed and said, "Thank you, Chongming. Just now, when Lu Ying mentioned fate, I suddenly saw it. If you want to leave, just leave."
"Really?" Chong Ming looked at Chen Xing vigilantly, for fear of being tricked by him again.
However, Chen Xing said: "Well, it must be fate that I got to know you. You saved Xiang Shu, and we have become witnesses of your rebirth from ashes, and we have this honor to be able to seal you up, even to be disapproved by you. Abandoned, and gave you a strange name, I think, maybe we can be friends now?"
Chongming: "Say the point!"
Chen Xing prepared a lot of words, but was interrupted impatiently by Chongming, so he could only say in frustration, "Oh, good."
Lu Ying smiled at Chen Xing: "He's just embarrassed, just like Shu Lukong, he likes to talk about him, you don't have to take it to heart."
Item description: "… "
Chen Xing also laughed and said seriously: "You are the demon king, we are human, and our lives may be short... Sometimes looking at the starry sky above us..."
Several people raised their heads, Xiao Shan had been playing all day, and fell asleep in the dark night of the starry sky, and the carnival of Chilechuan's late autumn festival had dissipated. For many years since ancient times, this day seems to be unusual because of their gathering, but it is also an unusual day in the time when the sun rises and the moon sets.
When Chen Xing raised his head, the young man's face was covered with the light of stars, and he smiled towards Chongming.
"I just thought, maybe in the days to come, you won't make friends with our human race." Chen Xing turned his eyes to Chongming's eyes and said, "Then this third wish, can you please, from now on, As much as possible, take care of our human race?"
Chongming: "..."
Lu Ying laughed and said, "He is often idle and has nothing to do. I think he will definitely agree to this request."
Xiang Shu was also moved when he heard the words, but Chongming was speechless for a while, and his expression was very strange.
"You want me to protect the human race?" Chongming said in disbelief.
"I..." Chen Xing immediately said, "No! This is not a mandatory requirement, it can be regarded as... it can be said to be a guardian, or I can say... a wish for you."
"Everything has an end, thousands of years of life, constantly reborn in flames, life after life, life after life, must be very lonely, right?"
Chen Xing said with a smile: "I only hope that maybe in a long time, you will really know our human race and become good friends with us who live and die, such as mayflies... Maybe you will adopt a human child, just Like Lu Ying and Xiao Kun."
Chongming said: "Shut up! The solitary king gets bored when he sees the children of your human race!"
"Of course, I also have a little bit of my selfishness, the demon clan and the human clan," Chen Xing said, "There used to be a protracted war, but in the past three hundred years, we have lost all our strength. I often think about it. , The reason why exorcists exist in this world is not to exorcise demons? Humans and demons are all creatures living in this land of Shenzhou, and we all have a shared hatred."
Zhongming snorted coldly.
Chen Xing said: "I will also try my best to restrain the exorcists. If possible, I hope that the two races of demons and humans can never have a dispute."
Lu Ying said, "You are a good boy, Chen Xing."
The corners of Xiang Shu's mouth were slightly raised, and he raised his hand and touched Chen Xing's head vigorously, but Chen Xing felt a little embarrassed.
Chongming sat on the side of the desk, not wanting to look at Chen Xing, but finally raised his hand.
Chen Xing gestured to Xiang Shu, and Xiang Shu said, "Then, Shu Lvkong, as the protector of the law, has made a covenant with you."
"You mortals don't have a good thing." Zhong Ming finally said.
Xiang Shu took out his palm and gave Chongming three high fives. After the high five, Chongming instantly turned into a bird shape, unfolding a flame, emitting ten thousand stars, and one circled.
Feng Ming sounded, Chen Xing and Xiang Shu held hands and ran to the vast grassland. Phoenix flapped its wings, flew through the silent night sky, flew into the distance, left Chen Xing, and left Chilechuan.
The sky is high and the earth is far away, soaring freely.
