Murong Chong frowned and said, "Be quiet! Do you want to recruit all the Jin people?"
Chen Xing was about to dismount, and Murong Chong said again, "Don't dismount, it's convenient for you to move right away."
Chen Xing had to think about it, whatever you say. The two looked at each other for a moment, before Murong Chong said, "Where's Da Chanyu?"
Chen Xing spread his hands, and Murong Chong obviously came here to find Xiang Shu, and exchanged information with each other. After Murong Chong left Luoyang, the Silver Cavalry was all incorporated by Fu Jian, so he embarked on the road of escape, first back to Xianbei Mountain , and then tried to persuade the ancient alliance of Chile, hoping that Shi Mokun would attack Fujian's rear during the southern expedition, but was rejected by the new Danyu.
Of course, the little beast King Lin wouldn't sell his face, so Murong Chong tried to contact Murong Chui again. Before seeing his uncle's face, he was almost betrayed and assassinated.
"What about you?" Murong Chong finally asked.
"I was in a coma in bed for three months." Chen Xing explained in one sentence.
Murong Chong: "..."
Chen Xing: "…"
The two looked at each other silently, and Chen Xing said, "So what are you doing here?"
Murong Chong said, "I want to sneak in and assassinate Fu Jian while the Qin and Jin armies are at war."
Chen Xing said, "Don't you want to live a good life?"
"I don't want to." Murong Chong said, "The meaning of my life is to do this."
Murong Chong looked away with an inexplicable loneliness in his eyes.
"I don't know where my sister's body went," Murong Chong said, "if you find her..."
Murong Chong turned his horse's head and left, saying, "...help me burn her, I don't know where to go to find her."
"Wait!" Chen Xing said, "Come with me."
Chen Xing took Murong Chong to the rear of the Jin army. The Beifu army began to retreat. Xie An was obviously well-trained. When the 100,000 people retreated together, they seemed to be orderly. Chen Xing stopped the person and asked, "What are you doing?"
"General Xie Xuan agreed to Fu Jian's request," the captain said. "The whole army retreats ten miles and let the Qin army cross the river. The battle will be decided in one battle!"
Chen Xing and Murong Chong were stationed on their horses and watched from the south bank of the Feishui River.
Murong Chong murmured: "Really arrogant, if you are hit in the middle of crossing the river, you will definitely collapse."
"Like him." Chen Xing said.
On the north bank of Feishui, the Qin army front.
Fu Jian was dressed in imperial armor, with the sword of the Son of Heaven on his waist, and stood on the bank of the river on his horse.
Fu Rong said: "Your Majesty, you can't trust the people of Jin, if we don't get across the river..."
"Look at the army behind you," Fu Jian interrupted ruthlessly before Fu Rong could finish, "Look at this river again."
The crowd was silent.
"With a solitary army, even if a horse whip is thrown into the Yangtze River, the flow will be cut off!" Fu Jian stopped talking nonsense and said solemnly, "Cross the river!"
Qin Jun began to cross the river. At this moment, a thunderstorm sounded in the sky, and the overcast wind rolled up flatly, crossing the Feishui Plain. The river seemed to have become turbulent in an instant, faintly exuding a black gas, rushing towards both sides of the river!
The dark clouds rolled in the sky, covering the scorching sun in an instant, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Jin's coach Xie Xuan, Huan Yi, and Xie Yan looked at the sky at the same time.
"It's going to rain," Murong Chong said. "When it rains, it's even harder to fight."
"No," Chen Xing murmured, "it's not rain, it's resentment? Where did it come from?"
In the Magic Palace.
Chi Youzhi said: "Moving like a mountain is useless to you, leave it to Gu."
Xiang Shu sat cross-legged on the altar, standing still like a mountain in front of his knees.
"What's the hurry?" Xiang Shu said solemnly, "This body will be yours sooner or later, so why be afraid of a sword?"
Chi Youzhi sneered: "Yes, you are just afraid of the loneliness, for fear that the loneliness will not keep its credibility. You will soon know that once the strength of the loneliness is restored, it will be a god beyond heaven and earth! Prince Ye! Kai Wanling Array!"
Wang Ziye stood in front of the altar, Xiang Shu opened his eyes and looked at Wang Ziye, but Wang Ziye stepped back a little.
"Kai... Wanling Formation," Wang Ziye said, "My lord, the grievances are not enough. Last time, I used the grievances left in the Tianluo fan to forcibly refine Canglang beads and other objects..."
"It will make up." Chi You said, "Sacrifice."
Prince Ye released thousands of black qi around him, shot at the leylines, and flew away from the leylines.
My heart suddenly glowed red!
In an instant, resentment and the blood of the devil spread rapidly along the earth's veins on the land of Shenzhou, shooting towards the north and south ends—
Fluctuating light, in the extreme north, among the peaks of Karakasha.
The long scarf tied around Xiao Shan's neck fluttered in the gust of wind, holding the sky torn apart, the resentment of the northern land began to spin, turned into two vortexes, and was sucked and pulled into the sky.
Xiao Shan pointed to the sky and the ground. After the last war, the grievances that permeated the Kaluosha suddenly gathered together, turned into a black beam of light, and shot straight into the sky!
Kai Yang, Hara and Lin.
The stone tower seemed to be sensed, and the magic weapon in it was buzzing. The tall ghost king passed the stone pagoda, left it behind, and walked towards the palace. The residents of the Chile League who moved here shouted loudly and fired arrows one after another. Shi Mokun led the Tiele warriors to stand in front of the palace and scolded them in Tiele language.
The ghost king stretched out his hand and brought out the spirit-falling bell that was filled with resentment. With a sound of "Dang", the entire Hala and the souls of the people in the forest were immediately taken away, turned into butterflies, and put into the bell.
The ghost king bowed again, and suddenly drew out his sword, turning into a black light and shadow and swept away, instantly beheading Shi Mokun's head!
Hala and Lin fell silent, and the ghost king walked into the palace and pointed to the sky with the Falling Soul Clock.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise at the top of the Xiongnu Palace, and the dome was penetrated by a black beam of light.
Yuheng, the top of Yinshan Mountain, where the stone pillars are located.
The rotten giant wolf began to transform in the air, and gradually transformed into a young man with a sword mark from the side to the brow bone. He held a white tiger flag in his left hand and slowly stroked it with his right hand. Black light erupted from his whole body, shooting towards the sky.
Tianquan, Luoyang.
Wang Ziye appeared in front of Longmen Mountain and sacrificed the Tianluo fan. His resentment immediately spread to the sky and burst out, gathering into a black beam of light, connecting to the sky above and to the ground below.
Dimensity, Kuaiji.
Feng Qianjun stood at the height of the city gate, holding all kinds of things in his hand, he turned back in front of him, and the blade shot out a black light, connecting the heaven and the earth.
Tianxuan, Long Zhongshan.
Sima Wei shook off the Zuyu banner, and the black light reached the sky and entered the ground.
Chang'an.
Princess Qinghe flicked her sleeves and flew into the sky, holding the Canglang Pearl. The people of Chang'an were shocked and shouted: "The monster! The monster is here again!"
The people in Chang'an were startled by the chaos that broke out two years ago, and they ran away one after another. Yu Wenxin led the few remaining soldiers to shoot arrows into the sky.
Yuwen Xin: "Who, who is this?!"
Princess Qinghe sacrificed the Canglang Pearl, and sneered. On the Canglang Pearl, the resentment was released like a mountain, and it immediately destroyed the Chang'an Palace. Then, it closed in the center, slammed through the top of the Jianzhang Palace and the ground, and shot into the depths of the Earth's veins. The other end shoots into the sky.
Immediately, there were changes visible to the naked eye, and Feishui was only one of them. Seven huge beams of light on the earth were connected to the sky. The giant wheel that had been revolving around the world was obstructed, and the most primitive world of Shenzhou began to merge into the beam of light. Among them, turned into a light spot, assimilated by resentment!
A storm swept around the beam of light, and the sky and the earth gradually darkened. The bottomless darkness continued to gather, flowing rapidly through the earth veins, gathering from the seven places of the Great Array of Myriad Spirits, and entering Chi You's heart.
The heart suddenly became pitch black, and the blood filled the air.
Jiankang.
The sky changed, Sima Yao was sacrificing to the sky, and the civil and military officials, led by Xie An, hurried out to observe the sky covered by clouds.
Xie An frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Wang Xizhi murmured, "Could it be that something happened to Feishui?"
Sima Yao said solemnly: "This battle is at stake, and since all the ministers are worried, let's pray together with me."
At the same time, Fu Jian's army had already crossed the river on this battlefield where the light was hidden. Soldiers started talking.
"Cross the river!" The messenger said in the back line, "Cross the river faster!"
South Shore.
"It's too windy!" said Huan Yi, "how to fight this?"
Xie Xuan said decisively: "Go to war!"
In a short period of time, the three coaches reached an agreement, this is the only chance, either fight or die!
The Jin army sounded a war drum, followed by three drum beats that shook the sky and the earth, and the wind blew the sun. All the grievances in the world gathered into a storm and gathered towards the rear of the Qin army. Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen who were crossing the river bore the brunt. The other side was madly scraping, and for a while, it was impossible to distinguish what was in front of him.
In the rear of the Jin army, Chen Xing immediately judged the direction of the flow of grievances and said, "It's on the other side! Come with them!"
"Don't go to die." Murong rushed on the horse, grabbed Chen Xing's collar suddenly, and whispered in his ear, "You're not like me, you have a big Chanyu, you don't have to die, don't go over."
Murong Chong let go of Chen Xing and said, "I'm gone, see you in the next life, if there is another life."
Drumming three times.
"Kill—" The Jin army each held a halberd and charged towards Feishui. The arrows were overwhelming, the earth shook, and no other sound could be heard.
Then Murong Chong put his legs on the horse's belly, drew his sword, and merged into the rolling torrent of the Jin army's decisive battle.
Chen Xing stared blankly at this scene, Fei Shui was instantly stained with blood, the sky and the earth were dark, grievances raged in this land of Shenzhou, knocked down trees, rolled up the river with stormy waves, and shields flew from a distance.
This is so unusual, Chen Xing murmured, "Chi You, where are you?"
Underground, Magic Palace.
The resentment swept through, and the source power in the heaven and earth veins was dyed into pitch black like ink, pouring into the huge demon heart, Chiyou's voice shook.
"I'm going to start refining you, Ding Haizhu." The black energy released by Chi You's demonic heart became heavier and heavier, surrounding Xiang Shu, causing his whole body to ignite a black fire, "Use all your will to exhaustion. Do your best to resist... Dragon power or heart lamp, at this moment I am heaven and earth, I am Dao... I know you want to pick up the sword in your hand and kill me when I am not prepared, but as long as you start moving Soul, you will no longer have the strength to struggle—"
However, Xiang Shu was still sitting on the altar with his eyes closed, and when he heard this, he suddenly opened his eyes, but his soul was suddenly pierced by Chi You's spirit, and the tentacles of resentment penetrated deeply into his mind, the only thing he could do. Yes, that is, holding the sword in his hand tightly, with a flash of light in his heart, guarding the last will.
"Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing felt it immediately, the sound of killing was overwhelming, and he couldn't even hear his own words, but the faint heart light flashed in the distance.
"Xiang Shu!" Chen Xing shouted, "What are you doing! Why don't you wait for me!"
Chen Xing rode his horse, descended the hill, and rushed towards Feishui, which was full of corpses. As soon as the Jin army entered the river, they were resolutely resisted by the Qin army. Xie Xuan knew that this station was either winning or dying.
"Chen Xing!" Huan Yi suddenly spotted Chen Xing who was rushing towards him, and shouted, "Don't go over! You're crazy!"
The soldiers on both sides were already red-eyed, and Feishui was like a huge demon, constantly devouring the soldiers on both sides. Chen Xing was stationed on the south bank, only to hear a loud bang in the distance, the ground split open, and a huge altar was held up in the vortex of black gas.
The Magic Palace is here!
The earth burst, and the leylines were pitch black, feeding back the heart on the altar.
"Let's fight," Chi Youzhi said, "Fight to the last moment, this is your destiny—"
Qin Jun was immediately enveloped by this resentment, lost his mind, and began to charge involuntarily.
"It doesn't matter anything else," Chi You's voice resounded throughout the world, "Kill that exorcist."
Amid the billowing waves of resentment, millions of Qin troops launched a charge at the same time, rolling towards the south bank of the Feishui River.
Chen Xing looked at the overwhelming Qin army. The Jin army in the front line could no longer resist it, and scattered to the flanks to avoid its edge. The Qin army charged like a tsunami that destroyed everything and rushed towards him.
Then, Chen Xing's whole body lit up with the soft light of the heart lamp.
"Xiang Shu, here I come."
Chen Xing said in a low voice, and then rode the war horse, heading towards the Qin army who was pressing down like a sea of rage on the other side, and went upstream alone.
That ray of light flashed in the darkness at first, and then dragged a trail on the ground like a shooting star. On the battlefield of thousands of people, in the torrent of grievances, it charged firmly to the enemy's rear.
"Xing'er." Xiang Shu's voice sounded in Chen Xing's ear.
Chen Xing's eyes widened, and at this moment, Qin Jun, who came from the ground, stepped on each other under the light of the heart lamp, and couldn't stop overturning.
Item Description: "Go back."
Chen Xing murmured, "What are you going to do?"
Xiang Shu: "Remember that you promised me one thing?"
Chen Xing roared: "Xiang Shu! You bastard! Are you killing Chiyou yourself?!"
Chi You's voice gave off a thunderous laughter: "Immediately, you will meet."
Xiang Shu's body began to burn and peel off in the black fire.
Dinghaizhu finally appeared, it shone the last bit of light in Xiang Shu's chest, it was an orb surrounded by resentment, a golden ring appeared in the bead, and the wheel of time that moved the heaven and earth pulse, in the bead, appeared. Rotate slowly.
Chi You: "See clearly, heaven and earth are a furnace, all spirits are a fiery fire, and the masterpieces of the ages are about to be born in the hands of Gu—"
Resentment kept invading Dinghaizhu, dyeing it pitch black!
The black light beads were first stained with ink-like resentment, and then the resentment spread to the thumb wheel, and continued to climb.
"Xing'er?" Xiang Shu closed his eyes tightly, and the voice sounded in Chen Xing's mind. After being burned by the black fire, his right hand, which was cracked and bleeding, still held tightly like a mountain.
Chen Xing didn't answer any more, he just rushed forward, a flash of white light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and countless memories flashed through his mind.
In the Xiangyang dungeon, a light broke the bottomless darkness, Xiang Shu stared at Chen Xing, everything around him was so hazy, but Chen Xing clasped his hands tightly, and he was in harmony with the people under the light. face.
Then, more fragments flashed away.
Inside Long Zhongshan, Xiang Shu reprimanded Chen Xing impatiently, but Chen Xing looked at him and smiled, pulling him to explain in a low voice;
On the streets of Chang'an, Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing with a puzzled face. Chen Xing was serious and prayed earnestly;
In the palace, Chen Xing fell asleep and hugged Xiang Shu who was standing beside him;
Under the moonlight in the middle of the Chuan Chuan, Chen Xing couldn't help but peek at Xiang Shu when he turned around...
Xiang Shu's body has almost turned into a pure soul, the black energy from his heart seeps into his internal organs, three souls and seven souls, and the butterflies that glow in his memory fly away from his body one after another, flying around.
The black air has almost completely eroded Dinghaizhu, but just before it was about to completely fall into darkness, in the spinning thumbwheel, in the core place, sparks were radiating everywhere, and a small flame of light burst out!
"Xing'er," Xiang Shu whispered, "promise me to live well."
"I don't, I don't," Chen Xing roared as tears scattered, "I don't agree! Don't even think about it! Give me a demon!"
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xing rushed past the Qin army's million-dollar formation, turned into a meteor, drew a shining trajectory in the darkness, and shot towards the high platform of the altar!
Chi You laughed wildly and said, "The vague fire... I really thought that I could fight against the solitary divine might..."
Xiang Shu's body was completely occupied by Chiyou. He held the sword in his left hand and stroked the body of the sword with his right hand. The nine runes were extinguished in turn, and black fire erupted.
Then he raised his hand calmly, and pointed at Chen Xing without moving like a mountain. The moment Chen Xing rushed towards him, he was immediately pierced by the heavy sword in his chest and stabbed on the sword!
Chen Xing was abruptly pressed against Xiang Shu less than a foot away, his hand was shining brightly, shining on Xiang Shu's handsome face, staring at him blankly, and blood began to flow from his mouth.
Xiang Shu's voice has been assimilated to Chi You's, staring at Chen Xing and smiling: "It will go out with your death, and the fire will never last..."
However, before he finished speaking, Xiang Shu's eyes returned to clarity.
"I knew that if you couldn't let me go, you would come." Xiang Shu had a gentle smile in his eyes.
Chen Xing said with difficulty: "I... this time, not for... anything else, just... because of you... "
"Give me the heart lamp." Xiang Shu said softly.
In an instant, the light of Chen Xing's whole body flowed like a mountain, and the epee lit up with a strong light, turning into an arrow, the arrow pointed towards Xiang Shu, Xiang Shu turned his palm and stabbed the arrow into his chest!
There was a moment of silence in the world.
The arrow with strong light hit the dark Dinghaizhu, making a "ding" sound.
The spark in the Dinghai Pearl in Xiang Shu's chest seemed to be induced, and it suddenly increased and radiated light, making the golden finger wheel regain its radiance, and then burst out a light trace, which matched the "crack" sound of the diamond arrow outside the bead. catch.
Cracks appeared on Dinghaizhu, and the cracks continued to spread.
The Demon Heart let out a roar in an instant!
"Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing asked in a daze.
Dinghaizhu burst into pieces, and a hurricane of spiritual energy swept the sky and covered the ground. Outside the storm circle, mountains, rivers, earth, trees, mortals, swords and soldiers were all shattered, and all methods were resurrected!
Xiang Shu stretched out his hand, grabbed Chen Xing's wrist, pulled him towards him, and held him tightly in his arms.
Xiang Shu was sitting on the altar in a half-legged posture, like a solemn martial god who guards the Divine State.
"This is the last little time we can be together." Xiang Shu whispered, "I want to tell you, Xing'er."
"You..." Chen Xing murmured, "Ding Haizhu... you... why... are... "
His chest was pierced like a mountain, and as soon as he spoke, blood poured out continuously, and the scene in front of him gradually became blurred.
Xiang Shu lowered his head and kissed Chen Xing's forehead. Suddenly, the broken light of the stars burst out from Chen Xing's body, spinning and flying, but as if he didn't want to leave, he revolved around the two of them.
He looked up at the sky and muttered the incantation in his mouth. The hurricane of aura that burst out from Dinghaizhu was overwhelming, and the golden light and wind surrounded the altar, like the tides that never change in the vast ocean.
Chi You showed a huge figure, and the Demon God's Soul tried his best to resist the impact of the aura, confronting the hurricane frantically, wanting to take back this body, shouting: "It's stupid!"
After Xiang Shu finished reciting the incantation, a new flashing rune appeared around him, which gathered into an ancient tidal formation, and the Taiji wheel of the altar under the seat began to rotate.
"What are you going to do?!" Chi You's voice was filled with a little fear.
Xiang Shu turned a blind eye to Chi You, and only said to Chen Xing in his arms: "Sui Xing has left you, you will live a long time, and you will find a guardian martial god who will accompany you for the rest of your life."
The brilliance in Chen Xing's eyes has gradually disappeared. At this moment, Xiang Shu reached into the chest of his spiritual body and took out the tidal wheel. It hung in the air in his almost transparent hand and began to turn.
Chi You was instantly carried away by a powerful and irresistible vortex, and let out a roar!
Heaven and Earth Reversal!
Chen Xing finally closed his eyes, and his eyes were pitch black.
in the dark.
"Hello." said the boy's voice.
Chen Xing suddenly opened his eyes and found himself standing in darkness.
"Where is this?" Chen Xing said, "Am I dead? Where is Xiang Shu?"
In front of him appeared a young man with a faint glow all over his body, but the light was not a heart lamp, but more like a soft starlight. The teenager and Chen Xing seemed to be the same age, scratching their heads and saying, "What should I say? I want to say goodbye to you."
"Who are you?" Chen Xing looked around, looked at the young man again, and instantly reacted, saying, "You are Suixing! Several times, it was you who were talking!"
The young man was extremely handsome, but not as elegant as Chen Xing, with a heroic look in his eyebrows, he smiled and said, "Yes, I was born of a unicorn, the fourth life star on duty in the heavens, Bo Zhong Shu Ji, they Call me 'Little Season'."
"I'm going to die," Chen Xing said, "so, you have to go too."
"Uh..." Xiao Ji said, "This... It's a bit complicated to say. It was supposed to be a year, but Ding Haizhu actually stole it from me for a year, so... what should I do?"
Chen Xing said, "Wait, I remember, Xiang Shuhe... is Ding Haizhu?"
Xiaoji didn't answer, looked at Chen Xing and thought about it. Chen Xing said, "Where's Chi You? Is he dead?"
Xiaoji said: "It can be said to be dead, or it can be said to be not dead."
Chen Xing: "???"
Xiao Ji smiled again: "I really miss you, you are a very brave mortal."
Chen Xing's eyes were also a little wet, but he was in a state of soul, without tears, and said, "Thank you for taking care of me for so long, Xiaoji."
"You won't have such good luck in the future," Xiao Ji said. "You also have to take care of yourself. Yes! I thought of it, there is another magic weapon!"
Chen Xing: "That's right, I won't remember it in my next life."
"Go." Xiao Ji said.
"Wait!" A flash appeared in front of Chen Xing and said, "I still have a problem!"
"You have no problem." Xiao Ji replied, and disappeared in front of Chen Xing.
In the gap of time, the giant wheel of time, which has been rotating for ten thousand years, began to be pushed in the opposite direction. Tens of millions of meteors burst out from the sky, flying to the ground, and billions of spiritual bodies rose from the earth, flying to the sky! The energy in the heaven and earth veins is connected with this aura and exchanged with each other again. Under the force of this cause and effect, the mountains and rivers shift, the sun rises in the west and the moon sets in the east, changing rapidly.
From the moment Dinghaizhu shattered and the aura exploded, Chen Xingxing's amber waist dropped down.
The amber was burned in the gust of wind, the red rope was broken, and the ashes of the phoenix shone and scattered.
In the hurricane of spiritual energy, the thumbwheel stopped spinning, and then the runes on the ancient tidal formation scattered and disappeared. Xiang Shu gently pushed the thumbwheel onto Chen Xing's finger.
"I love you," Xiang Shu whispered, "Xing'er."
There was a phoenix cry in the hurricane, and Xiang Shu suddenly raised his head.
The phoenix gently shakes off the flaming wings of the sky, hovering in the hurricane, bringing up the divine fire that burns everything but reshapes everything from now on. described.
Then a circling, the flame was neatly closed.
The reborn flames quickly gathered towards Xiang Shu, and after a loud noise, Xiang Shu's body ignited with fire, and the powder gathered, like a fire god in the center of the altar!
"Trouble you." The starlight revolving around the altar began to transform, showing the body of a young man and raising his hand.
"What?" Xiang Shu asked suspiciously.
"It's not about you." Xiao Ji said, "Zhong Lai!"
The next moment, the Falling Soul Bell appeared in Xiao Ji's hands.
With a sound of "Dang", Xiang Shu and Chen Xing were shocked, and a blue-light butterfly flew out of their bodies.
At the same time, three more flashing butterflies flew in the distance, and then dispersed. Xiaoji stretched his arms in the air, turned around and turned into a little starlight, flying towards the sky.
All the scenes in the gap of time began to fly away like burning shreds of paper, and finally disappeared without a trace.
"He is not a mortal. There is dragon power in the three souls and seven souls. He is similar to the phoenix power. He will reject the memory of the past. I don't think it is feasible."
After Phoenix finished speaking, he flapped his wings and flew away.
in the dark.
"Farewell," said Xiao Ji's voice in a low voice, "I'm home. Thank you for unlocking the shackles of solitude, otherwise I will be trapped in this world for a long time, Tianchi, I will miss you. "
"Wait!" Chen Xing said, "Xiaoji! Suixing! Hey! Come back to me! I'm not in a hurry to reincarnate! What are you doing running so fast!"
Chen Xing strode in the darkness and suddenly realized something. It was pitch black in front of him, and a faint light flickered in the distance.
A butterfly flew around him and entered his body.
It was a strange feeling. The hands, feet, and six senses seemed to come back, but the eyes were still pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
I'm not dead? Chen Xing raised his hand and touched around, and said to himself, "Where is this?"
"Dungeon." Zhu Xu answered behind him.
