In the early spring, the snow and ice on the road leading to Luoyang have not disappeared, and when the cold spring comes, it is again in the wilderness, which is even more unbearable than Jiankang. It is not a good idea to choose to go north at this time, but Sima Yao also knows that there is no time.
The snow was melting everywhere, and the coldness of spring slowed down the steps of the envoys of the Great Jin Dynasty. The group stopped and walked, and there were several civil servants. Naturally, Xiang Shu and others could not leave the envoys behind and rush along as if they were on their way outside the Great Wall. . Especially among the envoys, there is another Xie An who can't carry his shoulders or lift his hands, and whose only ability is to drug the enemy.
But why did the dignified minister of a country follow the exorcists to Luoyang? !
Xie An and several civil servants were sitting around the roadside and heating the fire, while Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun sat silently in front of the fire, and Feng Qianjun looked sad. The impact of his life was enormous. Fate seemed to be full of malice towards him, and even the last hope in his bleak life was ruthlessly deprived.
"No matter how cold the Central Plains is, it can't compare to the outside," Xie An said. "It made Da Shanyu laugh."
Xiang Shu did not correct Xie An's title, but said lightly: "The winter in Chilechuan is not colder than that of the Central Plains. First, there are Yin Mountains blocking it. Second, there are many people and cattle and sheep, unlike the north of the Yangtze River."
As far as the eye can see, the area between Luoyang and Jiankang is often deserted for nearly a hundred miles, full of desolate chills.
In addition to Xie An, the envoys sent by Jin also had a high-ranking military general named Huan Yi, who was the nephew of Zhennan General Huan Xuan, and served as General Jianwei Zhonglang before Sima Yao.
Huan Yi was stern, and was relatively silent with Xiang Shu, just like two sculptures, but Xie An did not have the slightest air on the road, and tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, and said to Huan Yi: "If there is a chance in the future, you can go outside the Great Wall and have a good time. play."
Huan Yi casually said "uh", and Xie An said again, "Da Shan Yu is waiting to see Murong Chong, can you be sure to persuade him?"
"No," Xiang Shu said casually, "just like you, just acting on a whim."
In fact, the Jin envoys have already made another kind of preparation. In other words, Xie An and Huan Yicai shoulder the most important responsibility for the Han regime south of the Yangtze River. The purpose of this envoy is quite complicated. Daqin negotiated peace, suspending the crisis of suppressing Shouxian, and secretly hoped to reach a deal with Murong Chong to provoke Xianbei and Di people to fight in the north. The second layer below it is to assist the exorcist headed by Chen Xing to completely get rid of Wang Ziye.
They also brought Sima Wei out and locked him in an iron carriage. Chen Xing couldn't tell why he made this decision, but he always felt that when he arrived in Luoyang, maybe Sima Wei could come in handy, after all He is the only "person" who has seen Chi You's heart with his own eyes.
Xie An was on fire, turned his head to look not far away, and said, "Where is Junior Brother Tianchi? I'll take a look, you can talk, and get close."
Item description: "… "
Feng Qianjun: "..."
Huan Yi: "..."
During the half-time break, Xie An looked for Chen Xing by himself, while Huan Yi, Feng Qianjun, and Xiang Shu sat like three pieces of wood, and no one spoke. Xiang Shu was in a depressed mood, Feng Qianjun lost his lover and didn't want to talk at all. Huan Yi didn't want to be too involved with the exorcists at all, so the fire was full of silence.
Chen Xing found a mass grave, just north of this nameless village, the pit was full of bones that had been eaten by wild beasts. When the Jin army and the Qin army were fighting here, the Xianbei people arrested more than 100 men, women and children in the village. They originally wanted to bury people alive, but when the Jin army attacked, the Xianbei people had to behead all the people with knives. Pushed into a big hole. Then the Jin army came, unable to rescue, the battle situation was critical and there was no time to restrain the innocent victims, so they went north to start a tug-of-war with the Xianbei people.
The deceased in Wuming Village did not wait for rescue until the last moment. When they died, they must have been filled with despair, and the pit was full of grievances. Chen Xing and Xiao Shan came to the pit and tried to use the sharp edge of resentment and the sky to break open the Dinghaizhu in their hands.
"Try it?" Chen Xing only felt very uncomfortable in the midst of grievances, but he had to take this approach in an extraordinary period.
Xiao Shan bowed and placed his claws in front of him, gathering the grievances in the pit. Chen Xing raised his right hand, and the light in the center of his hand was shining, preventing Xiao Shan from falling into a demon and dispelling his grievances at any time.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shan's eyes flashed with blood.
"Drink!"
The sky cracked and exploded with a bang. Xie An just arrived and was taken aback by surprise, shouting, "Be careful!"
Two invincible claws shot out in the shape of a cross, but Ding Haizhu blocked it with a "keng" sound, and the mass grave behind was smashed by most of it, and the rock landslide rolled down.
Dinghaizhu, who was placed by the pit, was unscathed, and Chen Xing's attempt failed again.
A quarter of an hour later, everyone sat in front of the fire and passed on the Dragon Ball.
"A split in the sky is made of dragon claws," Xiang Shu said casually, "Dinghaizhu is a dragon ball, you have already said it yourself."
Chen Xing frowned and said, "Then now, we are in a dead end, and we get Ding Haizhu, but we can't break it at all."
Huan Yi heard about what happened, took Ding Haizhu, looked over and over for a while, handed it to Xie An, and said, "Is this thing really contains the spiritual energy of the whole world?"
I saw that the bead was simple and unpretentious, gray, and did not look like an exotic treasure at all.
Xie An replied: "It must be, we have worked so hard to find it."
Feng Qianjun finally opened his mouth and asked, "Is there something that is the natural enemy of the dragon? Do you want to think of a solution in this regard?"
Chen Xing answered truthfully: "Dragon has no natural enemies."
Xiang Shu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Is there any other way?"
Chen Xing said, "In what way?"
Xiang Shu didn't seem to understand, and shook his head. Xie An sat for a while longer, drank tea, and said, "Continue on the road. If you travel fast today, you might be able to reach Shou County before dark."
The envoys set off one after another and continued to advance along the official road after the war. When the sky was completely dark, they came to the northeast of Shouxian County. A group of people held torches and almost lost their way. In the end, Xiang Shu said, "Follow me, I know there is an abandoned village here."
"How do you know?" Chen Xing asked in surprise.
Xiang Shu didn't answer, and led the crowd around a small hillside, and as expected they arrived at a deserted village. This place is still the territory of Jin State, and one day further north, it will enter the territory of Qin people. This is the case. Over the years, there have been many small-scale encounters between Qin and Jin countries, and the people in the northern part of Shou County have already evacuated completely.
The people headed by Xie An waited for a short rest. After dinner, Chen Xing searched everywhere, but could not find Xiang Shu, so he had to go back to the room and lie down. In the dark abandoned bedroom, Feng Qianjun's voice came from the couch.
"Going to the wrong bed." Feng Qianjun said in the dark.
"That's right," Chen Xing said happily, "Sleep with you for a while." After lying on the couch with clothes on, Feng Qianjun moved inside, and there was a soft sigh.
They were tacitly aware of each other, Chen Xing was worried that Feng Qianjun would be temporarily lost because of Gu Qing's death, Feng Qianjun also knew that Chen Xing had always cared about himself along the way, but in front of many people, some words were hard to say.
Chen Xing's hand lit up with a heart lamp, lightly pressed it on the back of Feng Qianjun's hand, and whispered, "Brother Feng, are you alright?"
Feng Qianjun was silent for a long time, then withdrew his hand and replied in a low voice, "Don't use your mana, or Brother Xiang will kill you again."
"What are you thinking about?" Chen Xing said, "Do you miss Gu Qing?"
Feng Qianjun shook his head and replied, "Remember when we first met in Maicheng and went to Chang'an together?"
"Yeah." Chen Xing was a little stunned. More than two years ago, they were also looking for a place to rest in the deserted villages that had been destroyed by the war. They were vaguely familiar, and time passed by so quickly.
"My eldest brother began to practice martial arts when he was eight years old," Feng Qianjun replied. "I am under the command of Mr. Liu Jing. The purpose of learning knives is to protect everything, the Feng family, and those who need me to protect."
Chen Xing thought about it and said, "Liu Jing?"
He was never familiar with the names of people in the Central Plains, so Feng Qianjun nodded and said, "A master of swordsmanship has now gone to Dongying. To be honest, the talent of the elder brother has never been good, and he has studied for 14 years before he is reluctant. Out of school."
Chen Xing laughed at himself: "You're so strong in martial arts, can't you still be talented?"
Feng Qianjun smiled helplessly and said: "Compared to Brother Xiang, I have to admit that there is still a big gap between people, and it doesn't matter... When I met you two years ago, it was my eldest brother who had just graduated from school. In Chang'an."
"Xiang Shu's force cannot be described by common sense, and he is the only one in the whole world." Chen Xing said, "I now feel more and more that there must be some reason for the heart lamp to guide me to find him."
"Well, you two are a good match. I remember when we went to Chang'an together," Feng Qianjun murmured, "It's good that the sky is not afraid, and the earth is not afraid. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, everything would be gone, but it was It came so quickly, and I didn't have anything left. I thought that when I returned to Jiangnan, everything could start again, but I didn't want to even Qing'er, so I just left."
Outside the abandoned house, the dark clouds gradually dissipated, revealing a clear night sky and a bright moon, and the silver light shone brightly on the earth.
Chen Xing murmured: "Sometimes I can't help but think, how good would it be if those who died could all come back to life? Father, mother, master, King Ackler... Xiang Shu also said that he Sometimes I hope that this feast will not end, but it has already ended, what can I do?"
Feng Qianjun continued: "This idea of yours is very dangerous, Xiao Tianchi, maybe because of this, Wang Ziye has fallen into the devil."
Chen Xing sighed, and sometimes he still had to admit that he was very light on his own life and death, but he was very concerned about others. It is impossible to give your life willingly. In the end, he only hoped that everyone could be well and live happily. If he died, other people would not be able to escape this disaster, but it would make him unwilling.
So in essence, in the final analysis, Chen Xing felt that he was not a person who looked down on everything.
Feng Qianjun said: "You are the star of the year, right? You are the only lamp in the world, and the hope of turning auspiciousness into good luck, my brother is now more and more aware that many things are indeed only you can do."
When Chen Xing was about to explain, Feng Qianjun said again: "But I always feel that maybe I also have some lonely star in my life, maybe I'm destined to be alone in this life. Qinghe, Gu Qing, my brother... If I don't have their side , will they not die?"
Chen Xing said: "Why do you say that? Brother Feng, it's not your fault!"
Chen Xing sat up, looked at Feng Qianjun, and said, "I used to blame myself for many people's suffering, but Xiang Shu told me that life and death are inescapable. You have to understand that with or without you..."
"Okay," Feng Qianjun laughed, pinched Chen Xing's face, and sighed, "I've been lying down for less than a quarter of an hour, and I've heard you mention it several times. Go and see him."
Chen Xing said, "I don't care where he is..." When he was about to lie down, Feng Qianjun pushed him again and said, "Brother is fine, if you can come out, go, go, don't make me beaten again tomorrow. already."
Chen Xing had to get up, left the abandoned house, and came to the river, but saw Xiang Shu washing something in front of the waterfall on the hillside.
"It's the fifteenth day of the first month." Chen Xing arrived behind De Xiang Shu, looked up at the sky, the dark clouds dissipated, and the bright moon was as round as a jade plate, illuminating the earth brightly. Looking down from the hillside, on the desolate land north of the Yangtze River, grievances are already faintly visible, emitting bursts of black air from the ground to the sky.
"The further north you go, the more resentment you get," Chen Xing said.
"You saw it too," Xiang Shu said, looking sideways at the ground below the mountain, "I thought only I could see it."
Chen Xing said, "Among the mortals now, we are the only ones who have mana and can see the changes in the mountains and rivers."
"Mortals, immortals," Xiang said, "in the form of mountains and rivers, in the interior of mountains and rivers."
Xiang Shu suddenly sighed and took the thing washed under the waterfall into his arms. Chen Xing sat side by side with Xiang Shu on the stone, looked at the stream, and asked, "What do you want to say during the day?"
"Nothing." Xiang Shu replied casually.
Chen Xing said: "You must have a lot to say."
Xiang Shu replied: "If you say it, you won't care."
Chen Xing said helplessly: "How can I not care? As long as it has something to do with Dinghaizhu, as long as you say..."
Xiang Shu replied, "What if it doesn't matter?"
Chen Xing couldn't help but said: "I remember one night, the moon was like this too."
"Two years ago on the fifteenth day of the second month," Xiang Shu said while looking at the foot of the mountain, "When we first met, you asked me to be your Dharma protector, but I rejected it."
Chen Xing said: "Why do I always feel that we have known each other for more than two years. After such a long time, you are still the same as before, and there is no change at all, and sometimes it is even worse than when you first met."
Xiang Shu replied: "I have said many things more than once, but you just didn't understand, or you pretended not to understand."
Chen Xing: "…"
Chen Xing looked sideways at Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu didn't look at him, avoiding his gaze.
"I pretended not to understand something?" Chen Xing said blankly.
"It's nothing, if I knew you were fighting Shihai in this way," Xiang Shu said to himself, "I wouldn't have left Chilechuan to chase you south."
Chen Xing retorted: "Then I will only die faster. I was captured by Sima Wei, and now I have become Chi You's body."
Xiang Shu replied: "You have the protection of Sui Xing, and your luck has always been good."
Chen Xing: "You obviously don't think so..."
Xiang Shu suddenly said, "If I want to break Dinghaizhu, I have another way."
Chen Xing was distracted by Xiang Shu's words, and immediately said, "What can I do? I knew you had a way!"
"Give it back to Prince Ye," Xiang said, "and let grievances contaminate it."
"You're crazy!" Chen Xing said, "We finally got it, how could we do this!"
Xiang Shu: "Wang Ziye wants to mold Dinghaizhu into Chi Youxin's body, and he will use resentment to refine it. At the end of the battle, we poured the heart lamp into the immovable mountain, and let me use all the power to use the heart lamp. For the effect of removing demons, give the sea beads a smashing blow."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Xiang Shu's words immediately gave Chen Xing a glimpse of another situation. Zhuyin was a giant dragon that existed when the world opened up. There is no longer any way for Baoneng to smash the dragon balls left by it. Becoming a magic weapon, unmoving like a mountain combined with the heart lamp, full of power, giving it a ruthless blow, using the heart lamp's restraint on the "demon" is the only way to smash it!
"It's too risky," Chen Xing murmured, "it's crazy."
Xiang Shu raised his eyebrows and made a gesture, meaning I knew you would not accept this plan.
Chen Xing got up, walked a few steps aside, and said, "But this is completely feasible. In fact, I have been wondering why Wang Ziye is so concerned about the 'door' of Longmen Mountain."
Item Description: "Hmm."
Chen Xing said, "Maybe that's where Zhang Liu and your mother wanted to go back to the altar where they cast spells three thousand years ago."
Item Description: "Maybe."
Chen Xing: "I guess Wang Ziye doesn't know how to use Dinghaizhu, and he didn't even get his hands on it and study it. This idea is crazy, but it is feasible. If Dinghaizhu is returned to him, I guess he will use grievance. It will take some time to come to refining, and during this time, we can't be distracted... Instead, we have more opportunities, and it is best to be able to move the soul to the Dinghaizhu at the moment Chiyou..."
Xiang Shu: "But if you want me to completely smash Dinghaizhu with immobility like a mountain, you will definitely..."
"It doesn't matter," Chen Xing murmured, "I will burn my heart lamp to the extreme to cooperate with you."
Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing sideways and said, "At that time, maybe you won't be able to survive anymore."
Chen Xing nodded and said, "Yes."
Chen Xing naturally knew what Xiang Shu's words meant. After Wang Ziye refined Dinghaizhu with his resentment, he found an opportunity to completely fuse his own three souls and seven souls with Fufurushan to defeat Dinghaizhu.
Chiyou has not yet completed the soul transfer, and will be destroyed by Xiang Shu, and the explosion of Ding Haizhu will also release all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making him return to the world. At that time, grievances are not so important, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is mighty, and since then it will start to purify grievances and enter a new cycle of reincarnation.
"I can, but how do we make Wang Ziye not vigilant about our plan and return Ding Haizhu to him?" Chen Xing frowned, "A little carelessness will arouse his vigilance... Xiang Shu? "
Xiang Shu didn't wait for Chen Xing to finish, but he got up and left. Chen Xing stared at Xiang Shu's back, then sighed, and suddenly remembered what Xiang Shu said.
"I pretended not to understand something?" Chen Xing said to himself.
