Chen Xing lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, but his legs were weak. Xiang Shu hurriedly hugged him and said, "Sit down for a while, and I'll ask someone to prepare food for you."
Not long after, Xie An also came over yelling, and said with a sigh of relief: "I finally woke up, I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Chen Xing never imagined that after the first battle of Kuaiji, he was in a coma on the couch for three months! When I asked Xiao Shan, Xiao Shan even said that he took a picture, and Chen Xing knew that after that day, Xiang Shu returned to Jiankang with himself in a coma.
Xie An was also very anxious after learning about it. During this period, Xiang Shu sought countless doctors and even invited the imperial doctor in the palace. The diagnosis results are that the heart is injured and must be rested. There was only one alchemist named Puyang beside Jin Emperor Sima Yao who came to see it. He mentioned that there was a record in the book, this is the result of the depletion of the soul, and coma is inevitable. With time, after the power of the soul is restored, it may be possible. Wake up on its own.
The three souls and the seven souls are the innate powers that each person possesses. Once the power of the soul is consumed violently, it will cause a person to be in a trance at light level, or even unconscious or even die at worst. The patient who was summoned by the Falling Soul Bell was lethargic all day long because of this. Although Chen Xing had not lost his soul, Xiang Shu himself knew best about the reason for this.
—When he finally killed the three kings that day, for some reason, he forcibly extracted the power of Chen Xing's soul, which caused his soul to be wasted, and he fell into a coma from then on.
But fortunately, although the consumption of the soul is dramatic, it can be slowly regenerated. As long as a person does not die, the spirit and energy will slowly recover. So these days, Xiang Shu always stayed by Chen Xing's side, fed medicine and water, turned over, stayed indoors during the day, and slept beside him at night...
"What?!" Chen Xing said frantically, "he, he, me... me, how often does he bathe me? Does he usually feed me porridge?"
Xie An: "This... I don't know, you want to ask Xiang Hufa? It seems that yes, um, it is eating porridge. Although you are unconscious, you can still swallow. When I came to visit a few times, I saw Brother Xiang there. Feed you porridge, massage your neck, and let you swallow."
"Of course he will close the door when he takes a bath and wipes you."
"I was actually taken care of by him... for three months?!" Chen Xing didn't know how to evaluate it.
Xiang Shu came in with the porridge, and Xie An said again: "You have a good rest, well, just wake up! Great! Xiao Shan, Brother Chen just woke up, do you want him to rest?"
Xiao Shan lay on Chen Xing's body and didn't move, Xie An had to leave by himself, Xiao Shan then rolled into the couch, cocked his feet, and lay with his arms on the pillow.
Xiang Shu said, "Eat some porridge."
Chen Xing said, "I actually slept for so long? Is Kuaiji all right?"
Xiang Shu said "um" and wanted to feed Chen Xing, but Chen Xing hurriedly said, "I'll do it myself."
Xiang Shu didn't insist, so he watched Chen Xing eat. Chen Xing felt weak and weak in his arms for a while. He knew that this was a disease after sleeping for a long time. With time and more activities, he would naturally get better slowly.
Chen Xing only felt that he was hungry enough to eat a cow, but he only had porridge, and porridge was better than nothing. After drinking it, he touched his stomach, and Xiang Shu said, "Xie Daoyun let you eat liquid food first, and you'll have a good time. Go back to your diet every day.”
"In the past three months..."
"In the past three months..."
The two of them were talking at the same time, but they suddenly stopped talking. Xiang Shu motioned to Chen Xing to speak first. The corners of Chen Xing's mouth twitched. He wanted to say that he had caused you trouble in the past three months, but he was afraid that Xiang Shu would get angry. Anyway, if Xiang Shu fell ill and fell into a coma, I will take care of him like this, it doesn't matter.
"Nothing." Chen Xing shook his head and smiled.
Xiang Shu said, "Are you dreaming? You don't know anything?"
Chen Xing didn't feel it at all, as if he just slept all night, the only dream was the moment he saw Chi You's heart, but he suspected that it was not a dream, so he explained it to Xiang Shu.
"It seems that the kings have all been executed." Chen Xing still remembered the last scene he saw before he fell into a coma. Although he paid a heavy price, he still got rid of the kings, but he didn't know whether Sima Wei was also dead.
Xiang Shu nodded and said, "If there is no accident, the corpse remains at present, and the identity is still unclear."
Five of the six kings have been solved by their own hands, but Sima Wei, who was struck by lightning, is still alive and dead. It was difficult, but before they knew it, they had done so much.
Xiao Shan turned his head and looked at Chen Xing. Chen Xing patted his head and said, "Three of Zhang Liu's stolen magic weapons have also been recovered, the Yin Yang Jian, the Drum, and the Falling Soul Bell."
No matter where the corpse is hiding, this is a considerable progress. Three months have passed, and he is one step closer to his death. It was the same autumn two years ago. Chen Xing left Huashan and went to Xiangyang. Now that there is only one finger to count, there are still nearly two years. Maybe before Suixing leaves and he dies, he may really be able to solve the corpse.
"That green flood dragon turned out to be Xin Yuanping!" Chen Xing thought of the scene in Kuaiji City again, and was really embarrassed.
"Can't you say something else?" Xiang Shu became impatient and said, "Why are you so full of these things?"
Chen Xing laughed and said, "Ah? What do you want to say?"
Xiang Shu frowned deeply and said, "I thought you would never wake up again."
Xiao Shan whistled for no reason, Chen Xing suddenly felt that Xiao Shan's whistle had some strange meaning, and immediately looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Shan jumped off the bed and left.
"Xiao Shan?" Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu glanced at Xiao Shan and said to Chen Xing, "The heart lamp is not allowed to be used from now on."
Chen Xing said, "Why don't you use it? The only magic power is the heart lamp. Now, Ding Haizhu's whereabouts are unknown..."
Xiang Shu interrupted displeasedly: "If you continue like this, you will die!"
Chen Xing smiled and said, "Do I have a choice? Hey, protector, I just woke up and I'm about to quarrel?"
Xiang Shu had to give up, and the two were silent for a while. Fortunately, Feng Qianjun came. Obviously, he had just woken up from a nap, and he ran towards Xie's house without all clothes on. When he saw Chen Xing wake up, he had a warm greeting. , the silent atmosphere between Xiang Shu and Chen Xing was gradually resolved.
"Your heart lamp is really too powerful," Feng Qianjun said. "It's just that if you use it all at once, you have to sleep for three months. What will you do next time?"
Chen Xing was depressed after being rebuked by Xiang Shu, and his tone became a little tough: "What should I do? As long as the corpse can be removed, no matter how big the price is, it's worth it, isn't it? Otherwise, what's the use of me living alone? Chi You is back to life, everyone can't live, I don't have to die, it doesn't make any difference."
When Xiang Shu heard this, he got up and left without saying a word.
Chen Xing watched Xiang Shu leave, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Xiang Shu was afraid that he would die of heart failure, but did he have any other choice
"If you found Ding Haizhu," Feng Qianjun said, "would it be easier for you?"
Chen Xing said: "That is to say, although it still affects the heart, at least it will not hurt the soul. I now feel that many things seem to be predestined by God, and the heart lamp guides me to find Xiangshu. The plan to discover the corpse, along the way, wiped out his king, too."
Feng Qianjun said with a smile: "That's right, aren't you under the protection of Suixing? Jiren have their own celestial signs, and they can always crack when they see tricks."
Chen Xing pondered for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes."
Feng Qianjun brought some tonics, and said at the moment: "Since you are awake, let's have a drink another day. The deeds of you killing dragons in Kuaiji are now being talked about in the whole Jiangnan, you should take a good rest... As for Brother Xiang... "
Feng Qianjun glanced outside the room and said, "If someone else has taken care of you for so long, don't be mad at him."
Chen Xing said depressedly: "I really didn't want to be angry with him."
Feng Qianjun added: "That's my big gold lord, just coax him a little."
Whether Chen Xing will coax people is another matter, Feng Qianjun is very good at coaxing people, and Chen Xing is very useful after a few words. After he left, Chen Xing thought about it and decided to talk to Xiang Shu. When he woke up, he saw Xiang Shu. Saying that, I feel very relieved. Since Master passed away, only Xiang Shuhui has worried about his safety so much in this world, which made him both sad and moved.
Chen Xing used the heart lamp several times, and each time the effect was stronger and he went all out. This process made him gradually understand that he was using his soul power as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. For example, injecting the heart lamp into Xiang Shu's body, injecting it into his sword, and using his own soul instead of aura to slay demons and slay demons in the situation where all the laws are gone.
The price is that every time he casts a spell, whether it is to purify the magic weapon or evoke Xiangshu's magic protection power, it burns his soul. On the day Suixing left, Chen Xing couldn't help but wonder if it was the moment when Xiang Shu held his hand as still as a mountain and stabbed the epee into the heart of the devil
The future seems to be gradually becoming clearer, and this may, no, must be their ending. When facing the demon god, he burned his own three souls and seven souls, poured it into the evil-suppressing weapon and moved like a mountain, assisting Xiang Shu to kill the only variable in the land of Shenzhou.
With such a brilliant way of dying, I have to say that Chen Xing himself is very satisfied.
But Xiang Shu must be very sad. I don't know when it started, from Chang'an to Chilechuan, and then to Jiangnan. Along the way, Chen Xing roughly felt that they had gradually become like the historical records he had read. Generally, the same mind. Especially on the high platform of the county governor, when Xiang Shufei came to save him, he clearly felt Chen Xing's call for help.
No matter Xiao Shan or Feng Qianjun, Chen Xing stood lonely in the corridor, recalling the friends he had met, he had never dared to get too close to them, let alone declared his fate. Just because they will be separated one day, if they don't have too deep feelings, won't everyone be too sad when they leave
The only difference was Xiang Shu, although Chen Xing couldn't tell where the difference was, just like when he was in Chilechuan during the late autumn festival, when he looked at Xiang Shu, he obviously didn't use the light of his heart, but it felt like a heart-wrenching feeling.
Chen Xing quickened his pace and suddenly wanted to see Xiang Shu. When he first woke up, he didn't think about it clearly. Now that he thinks about it, he just fell asleep. For Xiang Shu, he waited anxiously for a long, long time. Well, he finally felt Xiang Shuxiang's mood to talk to him.
Under the clear autumn sky, Xiang Shu was sitting in front of the bedroom, facing the courtyard, looking down at a bamboo slip.
Chen Xing stopped and looked at the item description.
"Why did you come here again?" Chen Xing asked.
Xiang Shu seemed to return to his usual nonchalant expression. He did not look up at Chen Xing and said, "This is my room. Since you are awake, I will be back. Is there a problem?"
Chen Xing was silent for a moment, feeling that Xiang Shu was angry, and was thinking about how to say it, but Xiang Shu's reaction made him a little puzzled, Xiang Shu didn't seem to be angry, just said seriously: "I'm watching like a mountain. "
"It doesn't move like a mountain," Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Well, if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is still there, it will only be stronger."
"Mountain like a mountain can be turned into six kinds of instruments," Xiang said, "the pestle to conquer demons, the rope tied to the demon, the golden wheel of the big sun, the bow of the eclipse moon, the arrow of the vajra, and the original shape, the sword of wisdom. Zhang Liu made it for it. A scabbard. 'The net of life and death is firmly bound, I wish to use the sword of wisdom to break it', which is the sword of wisdom."
"Life and death," Chen Xing said, "it's like a net, that's what it means."
"Well." Xiang Shu's tone was unusually calm, and he replied, "In the mortal world, everyone can't see life and death, so Zhang Liu feels that this sword of wisdom can help people cut off obsessions."
Chen Xing said with a smile: "Then since you are in charge of the mountain..."
"During the three months you were in a coma," Xiang Shu said, "I read a lot of ancient books left by the Xiang family, and Xie An also found for me Yiguan, who was brought to Jiangnan when he was crossing the south, and who used to be an exorcist. records."
Chen Xing: "Have you found anything?"
Xiang Shu finally raised his head from the slip of paper and looked at Chen Xing seriously, his brows slightly wrinkled, as if he knew that when he talked about exorcism, Chen Xing would be serious too.
"I know one thing," Xiang said, "every time when I'm using it like a mountain, I even feel the moment when you wake up my whole body of mana. In fact, this mana comes from you."
Chen Xing thought to himself that you finally found it, but said bravely: "It's not bad, but the exorcist and the protector also have a deep connection..."
However, Xiang Shu interrupted: "If the spiritual energy of the heaven and the earth did not disappear, the heart lamp and the immovable mountain could be activated with the help of the spiritual energy. But now, you are burning your own soul to inject mana into the immovable mountain. That is to say, every time I subdue a demon, all I use is your life."
Chen Xing stopped talking.
Xiang Shu also said: "The sword that slashes at the king and the demon is also the sword that cuts at you."
Chen Xing hurriedly explained: "Don't say it so seriously, as long as you give me a little time to recover, I will slowly get better..."
"You won't get better!" Xiang Shu's voice became stern, "Your coma is getting worse every time! When you were taken away by Che Luofeng under the Chile River, it was only an internal injury. I've been in a coma for three months!"
Chen Xing wanted to refute Xiang Shu, but when he met his gaze, he felt the saddest. At this time, it should be Xiang Shu. If he knew that he had less than two years left in his life, Chen Xing couldn't even imagine how Xiang Shu would react. Now that he figured this out, he no longer wanted to quarrel with Xiang Shu over these things.
The two were relatively silent.
At that moment, Chen Xing felt a strange feeling about Xiang Shu. Just like the lonely expression he had when he sat with his back against the big tree after he fought one against ten thousand and rushed into the Yin Mountain to rescue himself that day. He wanted to give him all that he had to show that he understood what he had in mind - but what did he have? He has nothing, not even himself.
Chen Xing tried his best to restrain his impulse. Even if the impulse was fleeting, he still keenly captured it.
He looked at Xiang Shu, and for some reason, he wanted to lean in and kiss his lips lightly to show that I didn't never think about it.
Just as thousands of birds swept across the top of the mountain and passed the tens of thousands of feet; like thousands of shining fish jumped out of the ocean under the moonlit night, at that moment their backs swept across the night sky.
Chen Xing finally sensed his own mood vaguely—God has drawn such an indelible stroke in his fate in the last four years, no matter how he dodged along the way, there was nowhere to go. He fled and pushed Xiang Shu in front of him.
"You talk!" Xiang Shu said angrily.
"You're so nice." In that short moment, Chen Xing felt like a storm surged up in his heart, but he returned to calm and reluctantly smiled, "You are also good-looking and have such a good heart, Xiang Shu, I really like you, The happiest thing in my life," said Fu and sadly, "is getting to know you and finding a Dharma protector like you, I just feel that I am much luckier than the previous great exorcists."
Item Description: "You..."
Xiang Shu immediately stood up and threw the bamboo slips aside. After Chen Xing figured it out, he said, "You're right, it's like this, but I also have something to tell you... Xiang Shu, I, I'm actually... I..."
Xiang Shu waved his hand, indicating that Chen Xing didn't need to say any more.
"As long as I find Dinghaizhu," Xiang Shu said, "to restore the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, you don't have to take such risks?"
Chen Xing was startled, but said: "Maybe, but that's not what I want to say, I think..."
Xiang Shu: "I will leave tomorrow, and Feng Qianjun will take care of you."
Chen Xing was surprised: "Where are you going?"
Xiang Shu said: "Back to Chi Lechuan, since Ding Haizhu is related to my mother, there must be some clues. I will investigate again, find this thing, and dig out what Zhang Liu did that killed people!"
Chen Xing patiently said: "Chile Chuan has been destroyed! Xiang Shu, it is useless for you to go now. What should I do if Shihai returns to Jiangnan? And when you go, when will you come back?!"
It might be a good idea to follow Xiang Yuyan's whereabouts during his lifetime, but Chen Xing's time is running out. He doesn't want to be separated at this time. Le Chuan, otherwise Shihai went outside the Great Wall twice as Keira, and the information he had must be clearer than them.
Thinking of this, Chen Xing had a reason to persuade Xiang Shu.
"Now that I think about it, Kyella will appear in Chilechuan or even Karakasha just to find Dinghaizhu," Chen Xing said. "He was also one of the insiders back then. Do you think we will know better than him?"
Xiang Shu let out a long sigh.
Chen Xing stretched out his hand, slightly timidly, and lightly touched the back of Xian Shu's hand. It was purely an unconscious movement, but Xiang Shu turned his palm over and held Chen Xing's hand. The movement was firm and powerful, as if the next moment want to hug him.
Chen Xing's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and the heart lamp flashed uncontrollably. Xiang Shu seemed to realize something, let go of his hand, and stared at him blankly.
"Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing's breathing was very difficult, "You have to understand, there are many things, I..."
Xiang Shu turned his head, as if avoiding Chen Xing's gaze, and suddenly said, "I changed my mind."
Chen Xing said blankly, "What?"
Xiang Shu turned his head, his brows stretched out, with a warm feeling that Chen Xing had always been familiar with.
"I won't take revenge anymore," Xiang said. "I won't seek revenge from Shihai until the whereabouts of Ding Haizhu are found out."
Chen Xing: "You...you said..."
"Yes." Xiang Shu said, "But in the current situation, I can't risk your life."
At this moment, Chen Xing's mood was as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and Xiang Shu added: "The most important thing for me is to find it."
Chen Xing: "What if Shi Hai comes to you again? If he wants to make the people of Jiangnan into scorpions, what should we do? Sit back and watch?"
"I'll fix it," said Xiang.
Chen Xing said: "How do you solve it?"
"I used to be Da Danyu," Xiang Shu said. "When I was a Dadanyu, I was all my people under the Chuan River. Now, as your Dharma protector, I'm also the world's Dharma protector. No matter Hu or Han, They are all objects that I must protect. I believe that it is human beings, as long as I am willing, there is nothing in the world that I cannot do."
