in the palace.
Chen Xing lay quietly on the couch. When he was sound asleep, there was a tenderness on his face, like a carefree child. Xiang Shu personally carried him into the carriage, and carried him back to Jiankang Xie's house without leaving for a while. However, after a war, Chen Xing seemed to have fallen into a long dream, no matter how they called, he never woke up.
"Soul power is damaged," Pu Yang said after checking it himself, "It takes sleep to recover."
"When will I wake up?" Feng Qianjun frowned deeply, "It's been three months since I slept last time, and now there are so many things, what should I do if I go to sleep like this?"
There were people standing in the bedroom, Xie Daoyun invited Master Zhu Jin to watch it for Chen Xing.
"It's hard to say." Zhu Jin had examined Chen Xing's pulse, which involved mana, exorcism, and three souls and seven souls, which were beyond the scope of his medical skills. He only asked Xiang Shu to take care of Chen Xing.
Puyang handed Xiang Shu a yellowed ancient book and said, "This is left by my teacher. You can look at the record about the theory of the soul."
The rest of the people dispersed, leaving Xiang Shu and Xiao Shan sitting by the couch. Xiang Shu lowered his head and flipped through the book, looking at Chen Xing with extreme anxiety.
"Sui Xing is dying," Xiang Shu said solemnly, "Is it true?"
Chen Xing didn't answer, just fell asleep quietly.
Xiao Shan asked, "What is that?"
Xiang Shu shook his head, sat down on the side, took out Ding Haizhu, and stared at it silently. Xiao Shan had to go to the couch, knelt beside the couch, touched Chen Xing's forehead, and said, "Will he be alright?"
Xiang Shu was distraught and let out a breath of exhaustion. He was obviously holding back his temper and didn't want to speak any more. After a while, a gust of wind rushed out. Express the suffocation in your heart.
Xiao Shan obviously didn't understand. Chen Xing woke up last time, and he will wake up this time. Xiang Shu's reaction obviously exceeded his worry.
Xiang Shu's set of swordsmanship continued from early morning until afternoon, and finally came in dripping with sweat, lying on the ground in a large shape, his eyes were empty, and he gasped for breath while looking at the ceiling. Xiao Shan came back in the afternoon. He didn't eat when he saw Xiang Shu. He spread out the ancient book that Puyang gave him, and was looking at it seriously.
It was a book that recorded the resonance and echo of mana between the ancient exorcist and the protector. In those days, after the dissolution of Wanfa and the Exorcism Division, Master Puyang copied and copied many ancient books. Many spells could no longer be used because of Wanfa's silence, but he described in detail the many principles that acted on them.
For example, when the protector and the exorcist use their mana too much and the three souls and seven souls are severely injured, in addition to special medicines, there is also the technique of co-firing mana, which can speed up the self-repair of the souls.
Xiang Shu looked at it, his eyes suddenly stopped on one of the pages, and then turned his head suddenly to look at Chen Xing on the couch.
After reading a few pages before and after, Xiang Shu put the book that was about to fall apart on the desk, got up and went out to take a bath. The palace has hot water all day long. After taking a bath, he came out and burned the incense. When he came back, he was wrapped in a cotton bathrobe with only a pair of trousers under it. After entering the room, he approached the bed barefooted.
Xiang Shu was extremely nervous for a while, and knelt down on one knee by the couch, showing his naked and strong calves and ankles, and then stretched out his hands on the couch, covering the back of Chen Xing's hand.
"I'll give it a try," Xiang Shu said to himself, "I don't have much time." Then he got up and undid the belt of his yukata.
Xiao Shan: "???"
Xiao Shan came back, holding the food box for Xiang Shu, and looked suspiciously outside the door.
"Da Chanyu?" Xiao Shan asked.
Item description: "..."
Xiang Shu pulled the knot of the belt halfway, turned his head suddenly, frowned and said, "Go out."
Xiao Shan: "What are you doing??"
Xiang Shu: "What does this have to do with you?"
Xiao Shan was at the peak of his doubts. He was only thirteen years old, and he seemed to understand, but he accidentally saw it once at the Kuaiji County Governor's Mansion, and he naturally guessed it. However, Xiang Shu didn't want him to see more, turned around and sat down beside the couch, without speaking, and Xiao Shan looked at each other in silence.
Xiao Shan: ""
The two formed a strange stalemate, one big and one small, Xiang Shu was sitting, and Xiao Shan was standing. Boredom looked at each other for almost a stick of incense, and finally Xiao Shan gave up and put the food box on the table.
Xiang Shu bolted the door and waited for a while to make sure that Xiao Shan was not peeking outside the door. After the nervousness was interrupted by Xiao Shan like this, and after it had vanished, Fang untied his bathrobe, revealed his whole body, and lay down on the couch.
He put Chen Xing on his arm, took a deep breath, and recalled the moment when Chen Xing ignited three souls and seven souls and provided him with mana, and when he was in Kuaiji that day, in an emergency, he took away all of Chen Xing's mana. moment.
However, the moment he lay down and hugged Chen Xing, Chen Xing in his sleep seemed to feel something, and unconsciously retracted into his arms, leaning against his hot chest.
Chen Xing only wore a single shirt and shorts, while Xiang Shuze was half-naked. When Chen Xing was next to him, his breathing suffocated for a moment, and his whole body was full of blood, and he felt a little dizzy unnaturally.
He took Chen Xing's hand, put it on his waist, and then stretched out his hand to hug him, wrapping him completely in his arms.
In an instant, in Chen Xing's thin body, the heart lamp emitted a weak light, and the light circulated between the two bodies. Xiang Shu felt that the mana of the heart lamp was flowing through his meridians like true qi. The effect of borrowing mana from Chen Xing every time!
So Xiang Shu closed his eyes, mobilized his infuriating energy, and poured the mana into his body. go back.
Immediately, the light of the heart lamp flashed, and the brightness increased. In this short breath and breath, it returned to Chen Xing's sea of consciousness.
On the dark sea, Chen Xing floated and sank in the waves, and his body emitted the light of a heart lamp.
A shining dragon turned into a phantom, hovered on the sea, looked around, and finally found him, so it flew towards him from the end of the night sky, close to Chen Xing floating on the sea, surrounded him, floating and sinking. , but never contacted him, Chen Xing opened his eyes in surprise in the darkness.
In the turbulent waves, the giant dragon of the soul followed his body, rippling on the dark sea, loyally blocking the turbulent waves for him, but never touched his body.
That feeling is extremely familiar, just like the night when Xiang Shu and Xiang Shu were on the boat, frankly facing each other, the big boat was moving and floating on the sea where you can't see your fingers. a lamp.
Xiang Shu Zhen Qi circulated for several weeks, and the light of the heart lamp sometimes increased, sometimes weakened, but when it reached the blazing brilliance, it became more brilliant every time.
Like Tai Chi, the black and white Pisces revolve in their bodies, guarding the last bright light in this world in the long night of solitude.
Xiang Shu, who had been bathed, was mixed with the scent of incense and the skin, and his breath was endless, and fine sweat was oozing from the beautiful muscles of his body. Chen Xing's breathing also became scorching hot. In his sleep, the sweat of his whole body had soaked the single clothes, revealing the lines of the boy's body under the single clothes. Motivated the heart lamp, and experienced an overwhelming and earth-shattering adventure.
In the end, the soft light of the heart lamp returned to Chen Xing's three souls and seven souls. Xiang Shu breathed out tiredly, sweating profusely all over his body. His black panties were soaked wet and stuck to his legs, showing beautiful long legs. With the outline, he wanted to get out of bed to take a shower, but Chen Xing still hugged his waist and didn't want to let go.
In the sea of Chen Xing's thoughts, the dragon that wrapped around him disappeared, and the turbulent sea completely calmed down, reflecting the dazzling stars in the night, in the sky, in the sea, and in a dream, pressing down on the galaxy, as if being in in the sea of stars.
Chen Xing opened his eyes and drifted on the sea, looking at the starry sky above his head.
"It's so beautiful." Chen Xing murmured, "Huh? Where's the dragon? Where's my dragon? Don't go!"
Chen Xing sat up abruptly, woke up, the sun was shining brightly, and the birds were chirping incessantly.
"How long have I been in a coma this time?" When Chen Xing woke up again, he only felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.
Accompanying the couch is not Xiang Shu, but Xiao Shan, who is burying his head wiping a dagger.
"It didn't take long," Xiao Shan said, "three days."
"Ah?" Chen Xing said, "Is it only three days this time? How is the situation? Xiang Shu... Gu Qing, what about Gu Qing?"
Xiao Shan said, "She is going to die, just like Lu Ying."
Chen Xing abruptly got up, put on his robe, and walked out quickly. When he got to the side hall, he saw Gu Qing lying on the couch, half of his body rotting. Feng Qianjun was like a stone sculpture, sitting quietly on his knees, and Xie Daoyun fell asleep beside him.
"Wake up." Feng Qianjun turned around and saw Chen Xing coming.
Chen Xing's feet are still a little weak. These days, Xiang Shu is still taking care of him, but this time Xiang Shu did not stay by the couch, instead of feeding and wiping his back every day, he let Xiao Shan guard him and walk away. Go to discuss matters with Xie An, and come back in the evening to share the bed with Chen Xing.
"I'll take a look." Chen Xing sat down on the couch and uncovered the quilt. Xie Daoyun woke up, and he didn't say anything with Feng Qianjun.
Obviously, when Chen Xing was asleep, they had discussed it over and over countless times, whether Chen Xing could save Gu Qing after he woke up, this proposal must have been rejected by Xiang Shu. In other words, they had confirmed in Karosha that they couldn't save Lu Ying, and naturally they couldn't save Gu Qing who was a mortal.
After being possessed by Wang Ziye for several months, Gu Qing was constantly corroded by grievances, and it was no different from a living corpse. In the end, Xie Daoyun used medicine to forcibly prolong her life. Lying on the couch every day also made her miserable.
"I have something... I want to tell you," Gu Qing whispered, "Chen, Chen Xing..."
Chen Xing held her hand, although he had expected this ending, he was still very painful.
"I will get rid of the corpse," Chen Xing whispered, "I promise you, Gu Qing."
"I... In my sleep, I saw... a lot of things." Gu Qing whispered, "I think I have to hold on until you wake up... tell you, maybe... can help you. The god of war said, you will soon will wake up... he's trying to make you feel better..."
Chen Xing was shocked and said in a trembling voice, "Have you seen Wang Ziye's memory?"
"Yes... Yes," Gu Qing said intermittently, "and... Ding Haizhu."
In order not to miss the moment when Chen Xing woke up, Gu Qing had already said this to Xiang Shu and others in detail, but he wanted to wait until Chen Xing woke up and repeat the original words so as not to miss important information.
"I'll call Wushen to come over." Xie Daoyun said.
Not long after, Xiang Shu and Xie An also came. Gu Qing was apparently on the verge of dying, and he said intermittently, "Zi Ziye... He thinks that there is a very important place in Luoyang, Longmen Mountain, and... Dinghaizhu. It's just that. He... can't get in, the door is sealed."
"Door?" Chen Xing said.
Gu Qing shook his head with all his might, and said, "There was... an exorcist... who went to Longmen Mountain, and finally sealed the door. Wang Ziye, he... resurrected many monsters and guarded the door."
"The barracks of the Luoyang Army." Xiang Shu said after listening for a long time.
Gu Qing closed his eyes, and then slowly said: "He... found the intersection of the earth's veins in a place, and he wanted... Qin and Jin to fight there... I saw a river, the barren forest beside the river... There is a river on the river. wooden bridge."
"Feishui." Xie An said.
Gu Qing whispered: "I don't know, he wants to be there... make an altar and enshrine one thing."
Xie An said: "We have already investigated the Feishui underground, but unfortunately found nothing."
"Shh." Chen Xing gestured to Xie An.
"Is it a heart?" Chen Xing said.
Gu Qing nodded with all his strength, his face was gray and defeated, and he turned his head to look at Chen Xing with difficulty, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"In order to complete the 'soul-moving' ceremony, he needs to open a gate in Longmen Mountain first." Gu Qing's breath gradually weakened and he said, "The things in that gate... are very important to him. If he can open it, he will give up... the original plan... and take the second place... "
"What's next?" Chen Xing asked.
"Dragon," Gu Qing said, "it can be regarded as... the body of the devil, his thoughts are too messy..."
"Jiaolong?" Chen Xing frowned, thinking that if he said that, luckily he was desperate to get rid of the Jiaolong.
Gu Qing: "He... There are other ways, and there are candidates. The new candidate is a... tall man, the emperor... must... stop him no matter what."
"Fujian," Xiang said, "if he can't get the heart lamp and Dinghaizhu as the body of the devil's resurrection, he will settle for the next best thing and use Jiaolong. In the end, if it doesn't work, he will use Fujian instead."
Chen Xing clenched Gu Qing's hand.
Gu Qing said: "I saw his memories, I saw him, he was chopped into pieces, buried in the ground, with three souls and seven souls, unable to struggle, only a hundred years and a thousand years, suffering in a dark place..."
"...I also saw...he liked a girl, just a long, long time ago..."
"Everyone in the world suffers, but why can't even death be liberated?"
Gu Qing whispered: "He used to be a mortal."
"Let them stay by themselves," Xiang said. "That's all she said to us these days."
So Xiao Shan, Xie An, Chen Xing, Xie Daoyun and Xiang Shu left the bedroom and stood in the imperial garden outside the door.
Chen Xing was struck into a trance, until the moment Xiang Shu handed him Ding Haizhu, Chen Xingfang took the magic weapon silently.
"Sure enough to go to Luoyang?" Chen Xing said.
No one spoke. Chen Xing looked at everyone, so he cheered up and said with a smile, "I wasted a lot of time before, forget it, but at least there are clues."
Xie Daoyun said: "The price of the clues in exchange for Qing'er's life is too great."
Chen Xingfu realized that it was indeed the case, but he couldn't laugh anymore.
Xie An said: "His Majesty is very grateful that you got rid of that monster and maintained the orthodoxy and destiny of Dajin. Next, he is willing to send an envoy to cover your actions and investigation."
"Father, what do you think?" Chen Xingchao asked Xiang Xiang.
Xiang Shu didn't say a word. Chen Xing thought that he had said harsh words to Xiang Shu that day and beat him up. It's okay to do it, he believes that Xiang Shu will not be angry because of this, but sober up.
The thing that hurt him the most was the phrase "you can go now".
Xiang Shu made a "hmm" sound.
"I'm sorry." Chen Xingchao said.
"I'm sorry for what?" Xiang Shu said lightly, "You haven't sorry anyone, you've been doing what you think is right. Instead, it's me, forgetting the reason why you found me in the first place."
Chen Xing wanted to explain to Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu was reluctant to listen to Chen Xing and raised his eyebrows at Xie An.
Xie An nodded and said, "In the past few days, His Majesty has arranged for you, only because of Gu Qing, and because of the fact that the younger brother is bedridden, I think you will eventually have to..."
When the door rang, Feng Qianjun came out without saying a word, the evil spirit between his eyebrows became more obvious, he didn't cry, just said lightly, "She's gone."
"Then get ready to leave," Xiang Shu said solemnly, "Everyone has too many old and new hatreds, and they need to find Wang Ziye to settle them." He turned and left.
The next day, the Gu family mourned for Gu Qing, and Dajin sent an envoy.
"Gaolan was passed, Silujian..." Feng Qianjun sang in the spring breeze.
"Zhanzhanjiang is on the water, and there are maples on it." Chen Xing sang in a low voice.
"My eyes are a thousand miles away, my heart is broken..." Feng Qianjun rode his horse, took the lead, and left Zhongshan.
"The return of the soul, I mourn Jiangnan!"
Songs are heard in the distance, and the clouds in the north are rolling.
There are still a year and nine months from the moment when Chen Xing was destined.
He still doesn't know what awaits him on the road ahead. But there was a premonition in his heart, as if from the beginning to the present, the so-called "destiny", judging from how persistent he was, was still on his side.
