In the palace of the early days, Chen Xing was still irritable, and was fascinated by the magic weapon in front of him.
A soft cloth is placed on the case, and the cloth bears the Dinghai Pearl found on the shore of Honghu Lake. There is a faint dragon-shaped brilliance inside, which slowly circulates in the bead. When no mana has been injected, the Dinghaizhu is blue. Try to inject the power of the heart lamp. , Dinghaizhu turned into golden color.
After returning from Chibi, Xiang Shu listened to Xie An's suggestion and took Chen Xing to live in the palace. For no other reason, now is the most important moment. At present, it seems that the safest place in the world is in the Jiankang Taichu Palace. If even Sima Yao cannot protect this magic weapon with all the power of the whole country, there will be no other thoughts about the resurrection of Wanfa.
Fortunately, after Shi Hai possessed Gu Qing and rode the demon into the Yangtze River, he was silent again. In the short term, he did not have any intention to pursue Ding Haizhu.
The Yin-Yang Jian, the Drum, the Falling Soul Bell, and the Four-Color Seal Ring were all connected like a mountain. All five magic weapons were placed on the case. Chen Xing tried to activate these magic weapons through Ding Haizhu in turn, but to no avail.
On the night of the first confrontation with Shihai, Xie An, in order to be a good exorcist, carried concentrated sleeping pills with him, in order not to hold back Chen Xing and others. He did not expect to encounter the enemy for the first time. The instant medicine poured down the enemy's ultimate leader, Shi Hai, and it was worthy of a lifetime.
In his mind again, Chen Xing restored the situation when Huan Mo fell that day.
"Ding Haizhu, you have been looking for me for three hundred years, three hundred years."
In this way, this orb in their hands must be what they are looking for. In Xiang Yuyan's memory, Zhang Liu was glowing when he sacrificed Dinghaizhu, and he couldn't see the entity clearly, but Shihai should have seen it.
But why did he hide Dinghaizhu on that small island? Chen Xing always felt puzzled.
At this time, Xiang Shu finally came, and before getting the case, he sat down without saying a word. Sitting cross-legged, pressing his knees, said solemnly: "How do you say?"
For some reason, whenever Xiang Shu appeared, Chen Xing's upset mood was effectively calmed down.
"What about Xiao Shan and the others?" Chen Xing asked.
"Feng Qianjun, Xie Daoyun and Xiao Shan have all gone to Gu Qing," Xiang Shu said, "While you were sleeping, Xiao Shan wanted to wait for you to wake up, so I told him not to wait."
So this time, the Exorcism Division turned into a separate operation, Xiao Shan and Feng Qianjun went to track down the whereabouts of the monster, and the rest Xie An, Chen Xing and Xiang Shu stayed behind. It stands to reason that Chen Xing should have followed, how could he leave Gu Qing alone? However, in front of him, he must do all he can to solve the problem of returning to silence.
Xie An also came, sat down by the desk and looked at Ding Haizhu.
Chen Xing said: "I finally found what we have been looking for. Next, I will find a way to release the spiritual energy in it, and then the world will return to the past."
"Are you sure it's it?" Xiang Shu didn't ask anything else, but asked the same question as Chen Xing. At this moment, he stretched out his long finger and gently poked the bead, causing it to spin on the table and roll around. .
Chen Xing: "OK..."
As he said that, he lightly held the magic weapon with his fingers, looked up at Xiang Shu, and continued, "... Right?"
This time, Chen Xing was not in a coma for three months as before. When he entered the water, he clearly felt that the bead released a powerful spiritual energy and strongly supported the operation of the heart lamp, which made him sleep for only one day. After waking up, apart from Dinghaizhu, which contains the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, is there any other possibility
Xie An: "I remember quite clearly, Wushen, what Shihai said at that time was 'Xie Anshi, thank you very much, help me to open the lock tower, get it...', and then combine with the second half of the sentence you heard, hmm. "
Chen Xing: "Yes, that's for sure."
Xiang Shu held his arms, pondering all the time, and then asked, "Xie An, how is that king?"
"I am imprisoned in the prison," Xie An said. "The defense is very strict, and you should beware of being robbed at any time. Your Majesty has instructed that when he is arraigned, he must be allowed to attend."
Xiang Shu said, "Just tonight."
Xie An nodded, got up and left, leaving Chen Xing and Xiang Shu sitting at the two ends of a table, Chen Xing fiddled with Ding Haizhu with his fingers a few times, and with a little force, it slipped through the middle of the row of magic weapons and rolled. in front of the item.
Xiang Shu's eyes always stayed on Chen Xing's face, and after spreading his five fingers, Ding Haizhu rolled back and came to Chen Xing. The two bounced the beads back and forth a few times, like two children playing.
"You... seem to be in a good mood today." Chen Xing observed Xiang Shu's expression and said.
Xiang Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want to break it?"
"Let's not talk about the moment when it is broken, the spiritual energy is surging, and it is very easy to blow up the entire Jiankang." Chen Xing said, "If we find a place with no one in a radius of 100 miles, we can try it, and what will we use? Break it?"
Xiang Shu said, "It doesn't move like a mountain?"
Chen Xing pondered, hesitated a little, and said, "Fufu Mingwang's magic weapon, what do you think is the chance of winning against the Dragon Ball that existed since the beginning of the world?"
"The sky is torn apart?" Xiang Shu said, "There are all kinds of phenomena?"
Chen Xingdao: "The split in the sky is the result of Zhuyin's dragon claws, which is obviously one step lower than the inner alchemy condensed by dragon power. Senluo Wanxiang contains the aura of green wood. Legend has it that it was created by the wood god Jumang. The dragon that opened up the world... obviously doesn't work either."
Xiang Shu opened his hand slightly and said, "There is only one step away from success."
"This is a magic weapon that has never been recorded in any historical book," Chen Xing considered for a long time, and finally said, "The most suitable way is to find a way for Zhang Liu to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, reverse the entire casting process, and release the spiritual energy in reverse. ."
"I remember when you were by the lake, you almost succeeded," Xiang said.
Chen Xing said: "I almost killed myself at the time. It's strange to say that it was only once, you see? Now there is no movement."
Chen Xing tried to inject mana into the Dinghai Pearl, which was different from the scene of casting spells in the Canglangyu of Honghu Lake.
Xiang Shu frowned, "How are you feeling now?"
Chen Xing said: "It doesn't matter, this consumption is nothing."
"What should I do?" Chen Xing was puzzled, and had a headache again. The two of them faced Ding Haizhu like this and sat for a whole afternoon. At sunset, after dinner, Xiang Shu put away Dinghaizhu and carried it with him, saying, "Let me keep it first, and ask me to take it when you need it."
"Why are you so nervous?" Chen Xing laughed, but Xiang Shu had already left the door and whistled.
This problem was unsolved for a while, but Chen Xing's mood also improved. After all, they were very close to the final goal on the road.
"Wait!" Chen Xing said, "What are you going to do?" He got up and followed behind Xiang Shu, thinking that Sima Wei was going to be arraigned tonight, he couldn't help but feel uneasy again. The ancestors of the royal family Sima of the Jin court were resurrected and became the lackeys of Shihai. This is no trivial matter. Sima Yao blocked all news. When the exorcists brought back the remains of Sima Wei on the shore of Honghu Lake, they locked him in in the dungeon.
When the twilight was dark, a cold place was vacated in the palace, and the outside of the palace was heavily guarded, and even more watch out for crows watching. Chen Xing and Xiang Shu took their seats, Sima Yao hid behind the screen, Xie An personally led people there and brought Sima Wei up.
This is the last king of the six kings resurrected by Shi Hai. Sima Wei's body is shattered and chained, his hair is disheveled, his face still has the indigo color of a dead man, and a pair of iron shackles are placed on his body.
Xie An said: "I originally wanted to cast him in molten iron, but we don't know how to survive, so we will deal with it for the time being."
Chen Xing replied: "It's alright, as long as he can't move, once he leaves the grievances of Shihai, his ability will be suppressed."
When several kings appeared, they all carried resentment, and the stronger the resentment, the stronger the king's power. This is a bit like Xiang Shu's power exerted by the influence of the heart lamp.
Chen Xing stared at Sima Wei, and Sima Wei also raised his head slightly, looking at Chen Xing with cloudy eyes.
But he didn't say anything like "Save me".
"Do you recognize this thing?" Xiang Shu said first, and took out Ding Haizhu.
Sima Wei turned his head to look, glanced, and replied, "I don't know what this is."
Chen Xing said, "Do you remember what you said in Pyongyang that day?"
"What?" Sima Wei said, "Will you save me?"
Xie An said: "Then it depends on your performance. As my ancestor of Jin Dynasty, you are a heroic ancestor. You don't want to protect the younger generation, but you slaughter your descendants for the sake of tigers. Under Jiuquan, what face do you have, go to see me. Emperor Wu of Jin?!"
The corner of Sima Wei's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was mocking it with disdain. Chen Xing frowned and observed Sima Wei, only to see that he had good facial features and a handsome figure. Even after his death, he did not change much. When the kings were in chaos, Sima Wei was only twenty when he died. Can't rest in peace, can't help but give birth to a little sympathy.
Sima Yao glanced at Sima Wei from behind the screen, his color changed instantly, he held his breath and did not dare to speak.
"Why did Shi Hai come to Jiangnan?" Chen Xing said seriously, "Sima Wei, this is your last chance. I promise that no matter what you say, Shi Hai will never know."
Sima Wei turned his head slowly, looked at Chen Xing, and said, "Exorcist, you have to discuss the conditions first. What can you do for me? You want to kill me if you don't cooperate? But I'm already dead."
Xiang Shu said, "I can kill you one more time, just like killing some of your brothers."
Sima Yao mouthed at Xie An from behind the screen: "Be sure."
Xie An was a little embarrassed and did not answer.
Sima Wei said, "Come on then, the soul returns to heaven and earth, it is a relief, I don't remember who I am anymore."
"What do you want?" Chen Xing frowned.
"Release me," Sima Wei said, "break Shihai's control over me and let me go."
Xie An said, "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know." Sima Wei shook his head slowly and replied, "The earth is vast, the sky is far high, and after being resurrected by the corpse, I just want to see this world, I'm not the person you think, even if... "
Saying that, Sima Wei raised his hand, dragged the chain, poked his head slowly, and replied, "I remember the owner of this body, and I have a lot of memories, but I have sensed that I am who I am. . Although I was reawakened by the corpse, to be precise, I am a creation."
This sudden remark caught everyone present by surprise. Chen Xing vaguely realized that he had always misjudged Sima Wei, what the hell is this guy? Their only recognition of him is that of a deceased person. Unexpectedly, Sima Wei does not seem to be Sima Wei, so what is he
Chen Xing raised his hand, motioned everyone to wait a moment, and asked: "So, you used Sima Wei's body, and you have some memories of his past, but it is essentially a '魃' created by Shihai, is that so?"
"You and Chiyou created me together, and Shihai is just Chiyou's handler." Sima Wei said, "When you were in Longzhong Mountain that day, you used the heart lamp, so the power of the heart lamp and the power of the devil. , like yin and yang, these two mutually exclusive forces affected my awakening."
As he spoke, Sima Wei raised his hand again, pointing his broken finger to his chest, and said, "Here, there are seeds of the heart lamp. But the corpse has not yet been found."
After the battle of Koguryeo, Chen Xing finally got the answer. He didn't expect that Sima Wei's sobriety was much higher than he had estimated. Now he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't help looking at Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu said, "Since you don't want to Why did you follow him after working for Shihai?"
"I can't break free," Sima Wei said, "My body is often involuntarily, driven by resentment, attacking you, acting like an instinct, leaving me with no choice. The light of my heart is very weak, but it keeps awakening me. ."
Xie An said: "What is the purpose of the corpse coming from afar?"
Sima Wei replied: "At first, he wanted to kidnap Chen Xing, refine his heart lamp, and use it as the host of the demon god Chiyou. In this way, the new heart lamp can plant obsessions in the hearts of the souls of Shenzhou. Seed that drives all living beings to surrender to him."
Chen Xing vaguely remembered listening to a general idea at the ley lines that day, and after confirming it twice, it was generally clear, and asked, "Then why did he temporarily give up on me?"
Sima Wei: "He found a more suitable magic weapon, namely Dinghaizhu, and wanted to use it to reshape Chiyou's body. Dinghaizhu has both the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the inner elixir of the dragon god that resets the cause and effect, which is more suitable than the heart lamp. ."
"After getting Dinghaizhu, what does he want to do?" Xiang Shu asked again.
"Return to the Battle of Banquan, and rewrite the fate of being defeated by the Xuanyuan Clan." Sima Wei replied.
Chen Xing asked Sima Wei a few more questions, but Sima Wei's knowledge was limited, and Shihai would not tell him many things. Only in the Magic Palace, when he heard Shihai and the devil's heart answering, did he remember a thing or two. But they have already gained a lot. First of all, Chen Xing knew that the magic heart was hiding in the Magic Magic Palace, and the Magic Magic Palace was located somewhere underground—the place where the leylines meet.
But Sima Wei didn't know exactly where it was, because every time Shi Hai brought all the kings in, he would send it through the ley lines. Then it was expected that if Chen Xing was captured back then, he would also be transported through the ley lines and taken to the Magic Palace.
No matter how much more, I can't ask the truth, but Xiang Shu still patiently inquired about many details, which was roughly in line with their guesses along the way, and finally asked, "What skills does Shihai have?"
Sima Wei said: "His three souls and seven souls are already able to move away from the physical body."
"It's impossible," Chen Xing said. "Even the powerful monsters can't do it. Are you a vegetarian? The only thing in the world that can't have a body is the devil."
Sima Wei said: "His spirit power is extremely powerful, and he can use it anytime, anywhere, and even mortals with weaker spirit power can be possessed and controlled by him. Wang Ziye is just a body that he is more satisfied with, and the heart lamp, His only nemesis."
What the hell is this guy? Chen Xing vaguely sensed that Wang Ziye's strength might not be underestimated. When he fought in Honghu that day, Wang Ziye's black energy from the scribe had been suppressed by him, but to others, this guy was not afraid of any swords and guns. , almost invincible.
Chen Xing thought in his heart, but said on his mouth: "The soul moves out of the body, it seems to be at ease, but it is very dangerous. Even if there is no heart lamp, I can take away his two souls with just the falling soul clock. If there is an explosion of spiritual energy , and will directly destroy his three souls and seven souls. Sima Wei, you don't need to be afraid of him."
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Xie An looked at Chen Xing pleadingly.
"The last question," Xiang said, "why did he resurrect Chiyou?"
"I don't know." Sima Wei said.
Chen Xing has also discussed this issue with Xiang Shu many times. The origin of the corpse is unknown, but at least it has "lived" in a unique way in the world for hundreds of years, maybe even longer. , a little bit of ambition is normal. As far as the resurrection of Chiyou is concerned, Shi Hai may have limited ability and cannot rule Shenzhou alone.
With the motive of knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, and not perishing in a hundred battles, Xiang Shu still reluctantly asked again, but still did not get an answer.
Sima Yao looked at Xie An expectantly from behind the screen, Xie An thought about it, and then said, "I don't think it's going to happen tonight..."
"Lock it up." Xiang Shu didn't wait for Chen Xing to speak, and gave the order first, which is what Chen Xing wanted to say, "After we have cleaned up the corpse, we will decide whether to leave or stay."
Sima Yao frowned, and when the soldiers took Sima Wei away, Xiang Shu only nodded politely at him, then stretched out his hand to Chen Xing and led him away.
"You offended Sima Yao." Chen Xing whispered.
"Five of his ancestors have been beheaded by me, and the solitary king still cares about him?" Xiang Shu returned to the dormitory and began to organize the content of today's arraignment.
Chen Xing could see that Xiang Shu was in a really good mood today.
"Look at your Dinghaizhu," Xiang Shu said, "why are you in a daze?"
"I can't see what's the key!" Chen Xing answered with one hand on his forehead.
"Go to sleep when you're sleepy." Xiang Shu said again.
After entering the palace, Sima Yao arranged a sleeping room for the two of them, which was also requested by Xiangshu. In addition to guarding Ding Haizhu, he also guarded Chen Xing to avoid any accidents. So the palace servants used a screen to separate the inside and the outside, Xiang Shu slept on the outside couch, and Chen Xing slept on the soft couch inside.
It was raining lightly outside, and a chill rolled in.
"Because of me?" Chen Xing said while lying on the couch.
Xiang Shu also lay down, holding a note in his hand, holding a map in his hand and looking behind the screen, when he heard this, he said inexplicably, "What?"
Chen Xing turned his head to the side and looked at the shadow behind the screen where Xiang Shu was lying with his feet crossed.
Chen Xing: "Xiang Shu, because you found Ding Haizhu, you think I'm safe, and I'm in such a good mood today?"
Xiang Shu didn't answer, put away a few pieces of paper, flicked his fingers, turned off the lights, and the moon was full of light.
"Shu Lv Kong." Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu didn't answer, got up, sat on the couch, and reached under the pillow.
"You are the person in the world who cares about me the most." Chen Xing said sadly.
Xiang Shu still didn't answer, and put one hand under the pillow, as if hesitating, but Chen Xing said, "But, I don't want you, because I'm afraid I'm in danger, so..."
"Shut up." Xiang Shu finally said, pulling his left hand back from under the pillow.
Chen Xing: "Xiang Shu, I think we should really talk about it..."
Xiang Shu got up, dressed in single shorts and left the bedroom, Chen Xing sat up and said, "Where are you going?"
"Breath," Xiang said, "don't follow me out, or I'll beat you up."
Chen Xing had to lie down again, heard the door open, Xiang Shu left, Chen Xing was about to find an excuse to let him come back, and called a few times later, what should I do if someone came to arrest him, but Xiang Shu did not go far, the sound of the Qiang flute was intermittent. It sounded, obviously the Qiang flute was played in the courtyard.
The eaves were dripping down.
In the late autumn season, the courtyard is full of remnants listening to the rain, and the weather becomes cold in an instant. It was a cold night in the southern land, and Chen Xing didn't know the title of the song. He listened to it and fell asleep before he knew it. Xiang Shu watched the rain for a long time, until Fang came in in the second half of the night and was about to fall asleep, but heard Chen Xing moving restlessly in the bed.
So Xiang Shu slept on the soft couch, and Chen Xing finally felt warm in his sleep. Like an animal looking for warmth, he unconsciously leaned forward and fell asleep on his shoulder.
Jiankang was about to enter the winter, and after a month passed, Chen Xing could not find a way to release the spiritual energy in Dinghaizhu, and after returning from Honghu, this magic weapon was silent. Feng Qianjun, Xie Daoyun, and Xiao Shan would send letters from all over the south of the Yangtze River through the post every five days, informing them of water problems in various places.
"The devil must not have left the south," Chen Xing said after reading another letter, "The corpse and it are hiding somewhere, what does he want to do?"
According to Xie An's intelligence, the south has used the greatest human and financial resources to set up a net of heaven and earth. Although the boats cannot cover all the waterways, the problem of monitoring the entrance of the waterway is not a big problem.
The search nets of Feng Qianjun and others continued to gather and converge towards Jiankang.
"Dinghaizhu," Xiang said, "Shi Hai will not give up and is waiting for an opportunity to capture Dinghaizhu."
Xiang Shu took Chen Xing and came to Nanping Mountain again, expecting to restart Dinghaizhu on the Seven Star Altar, but there was still nothing he could do.
As time passed, Xiang Shu was also a little irritable. When he returned to the island by the Honghu Lake, Chen Xing imitated the situation at that time and sacrificed Dinghaizhu once again, but he still found nothing.
"Put it down." Xiang Shu said.
Chen Xing put Dinghaizhu on the stone.
"Concentrate," Xiang said, and then he lifted it up like a mountain and tried it.
The two finally decided to try to destroy Dinghaizhu with immovable like a mountain, only to see Chen Xing's whole body flashing with light, hugging Xiang Shu from behind, Xiang Shu's hand fell like a mountain, and he shouted!
With a loud noise, Dinghaizhu sank, the rock was shattered, and the magic weapon was intact.
"No." Chen Xing said depressedly.
Xiang Shu put down his sword and observed Chen Xing's condition. Chen Xing was a little out of breath, and Xiang Shu said, "Take a break." Then he took out water and let Chen Xing drink it.
"Why is it so difficult!" Chen Xing said, "Obviously it's already in hand! It doesn't look like it has the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! Is it the master? But how can it be used that day?"
Xiang Shu suddenly laughed when he saw Chen Xing's appearance, Chen Xing really lost his temper.
"I really want to throw this thing away." Xiang Shu said casually, put away Dinghaizhu, took a step forward, straightened up, raised his hand, and threw it directly into Honghu Lake.
"Don't!" Chen Xing turned pale in shock, only to see a "thump" in the lake, and the water was rippling.
"Ah!" Chen Xing went crazy, grabbed Xiang Shu and shook it vigorously, but Xiang Shu laughed, Chen Xing roared, "You are still laughing! What are you laughing at?!"
"Let's go." Xiang Shu stopped smiling and said solemnly.
"Where are you going?!" Chen Xing couldn't believe it, he almost cried and said, "Can you get it back? This is the only hope!"
"Go to Chilechuan," Xiang Shu said, "to Balikun Lake, I know there is a way, follow that road, keep walking, and you can leave the Central Plains."
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Hong Lake, which was full of autumn waters.
"Keep walking," Xiang Shu said indifferently, "passing the sandbar, passing through Loulan, and going to a very far place, I think there should be no ghosts, no Dinghaizhu, no spiritual energy of heaven and earth, no exorcism. Master, there are no ghosts and ghosts. There will be nothing, and you don't have to think about saving anyone anymore."
Suddenly, Xiang Shu stared blankly at Chen Xing again. After looking at him for a long time, Fang said: "Don't worry, tomorrow, no matter what happens in the Central Plains, I don't care. Nod, I'll take you away. Are you going?"
When those words came out, Chen Xing's eyes suddenly turned red for no reason, and he choked up, looking at Xiang Shu, gasping for breath. The two of them walked along the way, those who shared adversity, lived and died together, and many hardships happened one after another, and the scenes flashed through their minds. Numerous indescribable and inexplicable emotions engulfed him like waves.
"No, Xiang Shu," Chen Xing said, "We've come this far, I don't want to give up, even if I'm shattered, even if I'm going to die tomorrow, as long as I'm alive today, we still have hope, right?"
Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing seriously, his eyes instantly became very gentle, the water of Honghu Lake was one after another, and in the ebb and flow, they just stared at each other. In the end, Xiang Shu's mouth twitched slightly, and he spread out his left hand, still holding the Ding Haizhu in his hand, which was just a stone thrown into the lake just now.
"Just kidding." Xiang Shu said casually.
Chen Xing laughed and said, "I knew it."
"Go back, it's going to snow, and slowly think of a way." Xiang Shu casually said, motioning for Chen Xing to move on to Haizhu.
"Put it there." Chen Xing replied.
The cold wind blew, and gentle snow fell on the shore of Honghu Lake. The first snow after winter came. The whole area of Jiangnan was covered with snow overnight. The snow in Jiangnan was very different from the snow outside the Great Wall. All the colors faded away, but after the snow in Jiankang fell overnight, it was like a blank space in an ink painting. The lines of the pavilions and pavilions appear more distinct under the snow, just like Wang Xizhi swiping a powerful stroke toward the heaven and the earth.
In the past few months, Chen Xing turned over all the ancient books that Jiankang could read. Xie An even summoned Jiang Dongcaijun, the think tank of young children of the Xie family and Wang family, and even the young people of the Sima family. A lot, it seems to have become a grand gathering for scholars all over the world, but it has always achieved nothing.
