"Xing'er!" Xiang Shu chased after him one step at a time, but the fire ruthlessly separated the two.
Chen Xing's pupils reflected the indigo blue flames in the sky, but his body was unscathed, and there was no appearance that his body was broken and only his soul remained. Is this the reason for the dream, or is it because if time hadn't gone back, the self in another karma would have already died when he came here
"I..." Chen Xing looked at his body in surprise, but at that moment, his whole body slowly became transparent.
He sat down in the center of the altar, and put the immovable mountain on his knees. In the fierce wind and fire, the immovable mountain radiated a strong light, and in the light, the divine words of the sky shook.
"You're back, Heart Lamp." The two gods flew up on the altar and separated.
Chen Xing: "!!!"
"Wait!" Chen Xing got up immediately, still holding the hilt in his hand, looked up at a loss, looked at the two gods separated and swirling around the smelting table. The silver luster shines brightly.
Ran Deng sighed: "Sure enough, he doesn't think about it anymore, the heart lamp will eventually be poured into the unmoving mountain."
Chen Xing immediately said: "Fufu Mingwang! This is just our dream. In fact, we lost the copper of the first mountain, and Fu Rushan has been refined by Chiyou! Please..."
Chen Xing immediately put down his sword, knelt down on the ground, and faced the air. Just as he was about to explain the cause and effect, he couldn't hear King Ming also sigh.
"The bronze of the first mountain is just a belief left by the Xuanyuan clan to protect the world."
The lamp slowly said: "The golden crow will eventually eclipse the day; the jade rabbit will also have the night of retreat; the stars will have the night of disappearing; the fire must have a time to extinguish..."
"... Electric light and thunder, there will eventually be a dark night; the faint light of bone phosphorus will eventually disperse."
"Everything is silent, time is boundless," finally, the two gods said in unison, "The light of the only mind shines like the day forever."
Immediately, King Fudo Ming and Ran Deng formed a seal at the same time, and pressed towards the center of the sword casting platform.
There was another loud noise, and the blue flames surrounding the high platform in the abyss suddenly gathered towards the center and closed.
Xiang Shu quickly ran up the platform and shouted, "Xing'er!"
After the re-casting, the unmoving body floated like a mountain on the sword-casting platform, the simple sword body reflected a strange luster, and Chen Xing disappeared.
Xiang Shu dazedly stretched out his hand and held the hilt of the sword. The loud noise in his mind was like thunder, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly, and resentment roared across the plain.
In the distance, Chang'an City was shrouded in mist, Xiang Shu's hand was as motionless as a mountain, the light of his heart lantern pierced the mist, and the last remaining warriors of the human race gathered around him. Wuhu people, Chilechuan people, Han people, Goguryeo people... The last inhabitants of this land of Shenzhou have all come to follow the unmoving guidance.
Chen Xing has become a suspended soul, floating in the air, shouting: "Xiang Shu!"
Xiang Shu didn't hear it, and all he saw was the vast plain full of spies, and the city of Chang'an shrouded in grievances. In Chang'an City, the city walls, houses, and palaces were all covered with purple-black, asphalt-like mucus. A black beam of light shot straight into the sky in the palace.
"Follow me." Xiang Shu said in a hoarse voice, then raised the sword in his hand.
Thousands of troops, led by the light of the heart lamp, all the weapons in the hands of the soldiers lit up and rushed towards Chang'an City.
Hundreds of thousands of people held their weapons high, and at this moment, the motionless like a mountain had a strange resonance with the hundreds of millions of swords in the world. The city wall was breached, and Gwanghae surrounded Fu Jian in the center of the palace.
Wang Ziye, Xiao Shan, Feng Qianjun and a tall man, Princess Qinghe, the corrupted wolf... were waiting in front of the throne.
Fu Jian stood up from the throne, holding a halberd, and started an earth-shattering battle with Xiang Shu.
Chen Xing followed Xiang Shu and flew behind him, but he had become a ghost wandering around the world. He shouted anxiously, but he couldn't affect the situation of the battle. At the last moment, Xiang Shu stabbed Fu Jian's chest with a sword.
The strong light erupted, and the palace collapsed layer by layer, like the scorching sun melting snow, and the purple-black blood of the devil that covered Shenzhou was purified in the seven rays of light in this world. Xiang Shu sat wearily on Fu Jian's throne.
"It's not over yet," another light turned into a phantom of Xiang Yuyan, appearing in the center of the palace, "Son, the soldier will come back."
"Xiang Yuyan?!" Chen Xing exclaimed in surprise.
Chang'an was full of dead bodies, and Xiang Yuyan said solemnly, "You have to collect his other two souls, and then completely destroy them. Only in this way can his corpse be completely sealed in the ground."
Xiang Shu stared blankly at the blood-stained floor, and the memory left by his mother disappeared.
There was a wry smile on the corner of Xiang Shu's mouth, and he looked up at the void, as if he knew that Chen Xing was there.
Immediately afterwards, the resentment between heaven and earth gathered towards Xiang Shu's body, Chi You's two souls were taken away by Ding Haizhu's powerful force, Chi You's frantic laughter sounded, and in the next moment, Xiang Shutiao couldn't move like a mountain, and he held his palm. —
- The motionless mountain turned into a flashing arrow, piercing his chest.
The spiritual power in Dinghaizhu was completely purified along with Chiyou's wailing cry.
Xiang Shu, who was in the state of his soul, was sitting on the throne and stretched out his hand towards the air. At this time, he finally saw Chen Xing who was by his side. Chen Xing descended from the void, held hands with him, and was pulled into his arms by him.
"That's what happened in that lost year," said Yuan Kun's voice, "in the end."
Xiang Shu hugged Chen Xing, and the two turned their heads together to look at Yuan Kun.
The sun shines brightly on the land of China, and when the dream is over, time stands still. Yuan Kun still covered his eyes with a black cloth and turned to face outside the hall. Chi You's demon heart, demon blood, heaven and earth souls had been purified.
"But he will still come back." Chen Xing said.
"The curse has been lifted," Yuan Kun murmured, "the rest is the doom of the thousand-year cycle. You want to recast it, and you can see it is difficult."
Xiang Shu's brows furrowed deeply. Indeed, seeing the "possible" past that was about to happen did not make things easier.
"First of all, you have to find a new 'tool' that can withstand the seven kinds of light, and use it as the embryo of the magic weapon." Yuan Kun said casually, "Travel another thousand miles to Ruoergai, summon the ancient altar, and put the six kinds of worlds together. Light is recast in weapons. Finally, take Chen Xing's life and refine it together with the heart lamp in his soul, so that we can have a chance to fight."
"Now, do you know what to do?" Yuan Kun finally said, "Now that you have the answer, you can do it yourself."
Saying that, Yuan Kun turned around, disappeared in the air, and the dream world collapsed.
Chen Xing suddenly opened his eyes and found himself back on the boat again.
The tide was rising, the voices were full of people, and there were conversations from outside the ship, as if arriving at a coastal port.
He sat up in Xiang Shu's arms, rubbed his eyes, they were still undressed, and the sun shone in, just like when he fell asleep on the boat that night.
"How long have we slept?" Chen Xing wondered, looking at himself and at the naked Xiang Shu's chest.
Xiang Shu also sat up, leaning on the side of the couch, a little lost. Chen Xing asked again, Xiang Shu regained his senses and said, "I haven't slept for a long time, at most one night, are you hungry?"
Chen Xing touched Xiang Shu, and then he touched himself. Neither of them lost weight, so they probably wouldn't sleep for more than three days.
Xiang Shu was still thinking about what happened in the dream. The two looked at each other. Chen Xing could see the doubts in his eyes.
"So in the end you brought immovable like a mountain," Chen Xing said, "Go to Fu Jian to fight and get rid of Chi You. You... You are so powerful, you are really not afraid of anything."
"Without your life, how much do you think?" Xiang Shu said lightly.
Chen Xing remembered everything that Xiang Shu once cherished, one by one, all were taken away by Chiyou. In the end, his departure must have become the last straw that broke him - he had nothing, naturally There is no fear, so do that, just to kill Chiyou and complete their agreement.
If on the day of the Feishui War, he realized that Xiang Shu was wrong and made a promise to keep him, he might have stayed. In other words, they had a heart-to-heart connection earlier, and Chen Xing would definitely ask that no matter what, they must face it together with him. After all, in the end, it's just death, and joining hands with each other, what else is there to be afraid of
Then once Xiang Shu stays, or leaves with Chen Xing, it is very possible that things will indeed develop in the direction of the dream, and finally they will start a decisive battle in Chang'an. Fortunately, Xiang Shu never confirmed each other's intentions, so he decided to leave his own in exchange for Chen Xing's chance to come back.
Chen Xingqing couldn't help herself, and suddenly hugged Xiang Shu and leaned on his shoulder.
"What?" Xiang Shu asked after regaining his senses.
Xiang Shu sat cross-legged on the couch, with a thin quilt draped over his crotch, fell into deep thought, suddenly noticed something, and looked at Chen Xing again.
Chen Xing shook his head and looked up at Xiang Shu.
"For some reason," Chen Xing said, "I always feel that Yuan Kun is hiding something."
Xiang Shu said, "Well, he did hide something. He let us see the year we lost. But he didn't let us see. Without the power of Suixing and Chongming, you came back alone. The fate of that day three years ago."
Chen Xing thought suspiciously for a moment and said, "But in that future, since you are not dead, it is doomed to not happen."
"Maybe." Xiang Shu said, "There must be something wrong in this. Since Suixing said that before leaving, there is a way to recast the immovable. Think about it, since Chiyou is so important, why not early in the morning? Cast the heart lamp into the immovable mountain?"
"Yes!" Chen Xing understood. All along, this is the point that he has always felt inappropriate.
The purpose of the appearance of the magic weapon is to pass it on to the exorcists, protect the world at the right time, and expel the influence of the demons. Every time when the devil comes into the world, the power of the heart lamp will appear in the human body and begin to inherit. But in order to get rid of the demons, you need to have a heart lamp that does not move like a mountain, to separate these two forces, isn't it superfluous
Since it is so important, why not inject the heart lamp into the sword at the beginning and hand it over to humans
It can only be said that Duke Ming and the fixed light burning lamp had plans to separate these two forces from the beginning, and there must be their reasons for this.
"I heard their conversation on the altar." Chen Xing said, "It is also possible that it is because the mission of the heart lamp is to find... the person who can control the inheritance of this sword."
In this way, it may be possible to explain the whole process of the heart lamp guiding Chen Xing and letting him find Xiang Shu.
Chen Xing told Xiang Shu in detail what he saw in the dream and what happened on the altar. Xiang Shu whispered, "So you became a ghost and kept following behind me."
"Yeah." Chen Xing smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't go to Samsara, I can't bear to see you."
Xiang Shu clenched Chen Xing's hand and looked at him for a while. Chen Xing thought to himself: "I saw your mother, have you seen it too? According to the development of this dream, she should have left a memory for you somewhere, as long as you find it..."
Xiang Shu didn't wait for Chen Xing to finish speaking, he lowered his head and kissed him, and the two of them breathed heavily. Chen Xing thought about himself and Xiang Shu, in the dark past, even if they communicated with each other, the one who finally waited was. Died together, I felt very sad, and I expected Xiang Shu to be the same.
"Well..." Chen Xing was hugged by Xiang Shu, laying down on the couch, and whispered, "Actually, every time I can't help but think..."
"What are you thinking?" Xiang Shu's breath was close at hand, rubbing against the bridge of his nose.
"Being with you like this..." Chen Xing frowned and said, "Even if... I'm going to die in the end, I won't have any regrets... Pain... Pain, slow down..."
Xiang Shu touched his waist with one hand and whispered, "What about now?"
"Ah... much better."
Xiang Shu said in Chen Xing's ear, "I won't let you leave me, even if..."
The noise outside the room grew louder, and suddenly, the two heard a familiar voice at the same time.
"I will unlock this seal, come here, leave it, I will come! Your Majesty, look, this is a monster's seal, but..."
"Don't come in!" Chen Xing and Xiang Shu shouted almost at the same time.
But it was too late. Chen Xing didn't even have time to think about how Xie An got on the boat. He only heard a sound. It seemed that some magic was being cast outside the door. outside the door.
At that time, Xiang Shu was still holding Chen Xing, and the two of them were covered with a thin quilt and turned to look out the door together.
The Emperor Jin and officials all boarded the Wang Zhou and looked inside.
Chen Xing: "..."
Item description: "..."
Xie An: "Ah? Are you awake? I'm sorry, Your Majesty, let's come back later."
Xie An hurriedly closed the door. Chen Xing and Xiang Shu had forgotten what they were doing for a while. Fortunately, not many people came, only Sima Yao and Xie An. If all the officials of Dajin were there, most of Xiang Shu would wait for a while. The ship is about to kill.
The two looked at each other, and Chen Xing's expression was indescribably embarrassing.
"How did they... come to the sea?" Chen Xing murmured.
"Continue?" Xiang Shu stiffened again and said, "I don't know how long I have slept, but most of them have already arrived at the port."
"Don't do it!" Chen Xing said frantically, "Another day... and then..."
Xiang Shu put his arms around Chen Xing's waist and carefully picked him up. The two of them still maintained their hugging posture. Chen Xing leaned in front of the window and looked out, and suddenly became nervous.
This is already Jiankang! The sun was shining brightly, and people were coming and going on the shore. The port was particularly lively, with three thousand willow leaves fluttering in the wind.
"Ah?!" Chen Xing said, "Why did you arrive overnight... Jiankang? Get dressed and get off the boat... Ah!"
Xiang Shu moved again, looked up at Chen Xing, Chen Xing had nothing to do with Xiang Shu, he was knocked in, but he was still able to continue!
"Then you have to work harder." Xiang Shu said solemnly.
Chen Xing had to interlace his fingers with Xiang Shu, let Xiang Shu lie flat, straddle him, frown deeply, look into his eyes, and breathe slowly.
An hour later.
"Your Majesty heard that you are here," Xie An said in the king's car, "I insist on coming to pick you up in person!"
"Ah..." Sima Yao looked at Chen Xing and said, "You are Mr. Chen? Meet again... eh?"
Xiang Shu was expressionless and sat behind Chen Xing in the Wang car. Chen Xing felt embarrassed when he thought of the scene just now, nodded and said: "Yes... Yes, Your Majesty, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. As soon as I saw you, I felt very kind. I am an ordinary exorcist and cannot treat hair loss... In other words, Senior Brother Xie, when did we arrive in Jiankang?"
"This is a long story." Xie An said, "Do you still remember what day did you go to sleep?"
Xiang Shuhu said, "What time is it today?"
Xie An replied: "In the autumn of the sixth year of Taiyuan, it has been more than a year since we parted in Chang'an."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
"We fell asleep on the boat and slept for a year." Xiang Shu said solemnly.
Time flies so fast! And it just so happened that the "stolen" time that Suixing said was a full year!
"But I really don't look like I've slept for a year?" Chen Xing glanced at his body, showing no signs of weakness.
At first Xiang Shu and Chen Xing fell asleep without warning one day. The warriors on the Goguryeo king boat saw that the two did not order food and drink the next day. Not surprisingly. It wasn't until three days later that everyone began to realize that something was wrong. They knocked on the door to enter, but found a strange magic seal on the door.
Chen Xing guessed that it must be the seal set by Yuan Kun.
Therefore, Wang Zhou's entourage did not dare to destroy indiscriminately, and had to wander aimlessly on the sea, not daring to return to Pyongyang, and not knowing what to do. It was not until the northeast wind picked up on the sea that they left the sea all the way according to the original plan and sent them back to the south of the Great Jin River. If Jiangnan had nothing to do, he had no choice but to go back to Goguryeo and apologize to the little beast forest king.
After the ship was moored at Jiankang Port, Xie An personally checked it and guessed that it was a seal placed by a big monster. The purpose was to protect the people in the room. There will be no strange consequences. Naihe couldn't put it on hold like this. Finally, he made full preparations and got on the boat. He was ready to break the seal to see what was inside, but Xiang Shu and Chen Xing had already woken up one step ahead.
"It's been a year." Chen Xing couldn't believe it. When he left Pyongyang, it was the middle of the winter season. After sailing at sea for several months, after entering Yuan Kun's dream again, he now arrived in Jiankang. They left Chilechuan at the end of the autumn festival, and it was almost a year later.
"I heard that Fu Jian was doing bad things in Chang'an," Sima Yao said, "I really lost my mind. Therefore, I came here to ask Mr. Chen for advice, just want to save half of the country passed down by our ancestors."
Xie An said by the side: "Now that all methods have been resurrected, and the great cause of exorcism has finally been revived, Your Majesty must not worry, the younger brother will be easy to deal with when he arrives. Now Jiankang is really a family practicing Fa, and everyone is cultivating Taoism. Let's train this group of exorcists and let them out together. There are huge crowds, and the demon god is also killed by the number of people. The number of people is powerful. Each person has a stray fire bomb, and thousands of stray fire bombs are gathered together. …”
"What?" Chen Xing suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Xie An added: "This is a long story, and I will explain it to you later."
Sima Yao sighed again: "That's good, then, just, good!"
"Feng Qianjun is back?" Xiang Shu suddenly asked again.
"I'm back!" Xie An said, "I've been back a long time ago! I suffered a little injury, but a large group of scorpions were caught, and they're locked up, waiting for you to come back and deal with them!"
Chen Xing: "…"
Xie An pointed to a place and said, "I live in Qing'er and Daoyun's medicine cottage."
Xiang Shu jumped out of the car and left along Wuyi Alley to go to Gu Qing's medicine house. Chen Xing shouted, "Hey!" Xiang Shu made a gesture, motioning for Chen Xing to follow, and he would be back in a while.
"I must hold a banquet today," Sima Yao said. "Take good care of Mr. Chen who has come from afar! By the way, has Mr. Chen married yet?"
"Hehehe." Chen Xing could finally confidently refuse the emperor's matchmaking, Pi Xiaorou said without a smile, "You are engaged, so don't worry about it."
