The people in the back turned on the flashlight and could only see a corner, but it was shocking enough.
The spacious river and the black guardrails shine brightly under the light, like fine black jade.
"Little Rongrong?!"
Qi Xi's voice echoed back and forth underneath, Zhang Qiu took a flashlight to look around, but still did not find Qi Zhirong's figure, where could Qi Zhirong go in such a short time
"Listen." Li Shu looked up at the river.
Zhang Qiu listened carefully, and there was a deep roar, but the voice was too low to be heard clearly.
"going up."
Qi Xi said suddenly, Zhang Qiu looked over and found that Qi Xi's face was not very good, he thought he was worried about Qi Zhirong, if he didn't say this, he would go up later, if Qi Xi fell into a trap, it would be bad, so he said it quickly : "You—you be careful about Qi Zhirong, I always think he's weird."
"It's Xiezhi's call."
"what?"
Zhang Qiu couldn't understand Qi Xi's train of thought for a while, and thought for a while, "Is the call from above Xie Zhi?"
Qi Xi nodded, because he was the same kind, he would not admit his mistake.
Everyone walked up the steps along the river bank. They couldn't see clearly from a distance, but they could see the general shape of the palace. The closer they got, the louder the roar became. In the end, Qi Xi was already running. When he reached the gate of the palace, the black The gate is carved with intricate patterns.
"It's wings." Qi Xi said, "Xiezhi has wings, but those with wings are relatively rare and very precious. They are the kings among us."
Zhang Qiu had seen Qi Xi's original form, without wings, could the owner of this pit be a king Xiezhi
Qi Xi had already pushed open the heavy stone door, and a loud roar greeted him. Zhang Qiu was pressed down to the ground by Li Shu's tight embrace, his eardrums were buzzing from the shock, and he couldn't hear everyone's voices at all. Zhang Qiu turned his head and saw that the bodyguard behind had blood flowing from his nostrils and head, which should have been injured by the roar just now.
Hastily touched the pregnant little zombie's head, the little zombie's mouth moved to speak, Zhang Qiu took a while to hear clearly that little zombie said daddy.
It's fine.
Except for a few bodyguards in the back who were injured because they didn't react in time, everyone else was fine. Li Shu pulled Zhang Qiu up and looked in. There was a pair of golden wings in the air behind the entire hall, and Xiezhi echoed in the air. However, except for the first one, the following voices became weaker and weaker, and the voices were full of grief and resentment. Even if he didn't know what happened here, at this moment Zhang Qiu would not think that the owner of this place was Xiezhi.
The golden wings are huge, exuding a faint golden light, very beautiful.
Qixi stood in the middle and looked around, but did not see the owner of the golden wings, but the low growls continued.
"It's dead, it's an undead." Zhang Yushui patted Qi Xi's shoulder, took out the talisman paper in his hand, and said with his hands together, "Go!" The talisman paper flew straight to the golden wings without touching it. Then it ignited.
As the talisman paper was burned out, the original shape of Xiezhi faintly appeared in the middle of the golden wings.
This is a strong Xiezhi, which was killed when it was an upright man. As soon as it appeared, this Xiechi had already been blinded by hatred. Kill them, kill these despicable and shameless humans.
But it was imprisoned in place, and it couldn't escape despite roaring and charging.
"Roar!"
Qixi suddenly changed into his original form, like a cub in front of the golden Xiezhi, roaring in a low voice, the originally irrational Xiezhi, who was full of hatred, slowly calmed down, Qixi jumped over, but missed nothing, The golden Xie Zhi lowered her head with tears in her eyes, and rubbed against Qi Xi's neck, like an elder, looking at Qi Xi lovingly.
"I also have a son with a golden horn like you." The older Xiezhi said, his tone full of sadness, flapping his wings and stroking Qixi's back, "He is also so young, innocent, kind, and just. , believed in the lies of human beings, and became friends with human beings, but did not expect despicable human beings to take advantage of him."
Xie Zhi's gentle and compassionate eyes suddenly sharpened when he looked at the human in front of him, "You have to be careful, don't trust human beings."
"They are my friends, they won't hurt me." Qi Xi raised his head and looked at each other. For some reason, he felt a kind of intimacy when he saw this kind of person, "Who killed you?!"
"You really look like my son." Xie Zhi's eyes fell into memories, and he rubbed the corner of Qi Xi's head tenderly.
During the Zhongshan Kingdom period, most of the ancient gods and beasts had disappeared or were hidden. Xiezhi's son is a happy and simple golden-horned Xiezhi. The old Xiezhi knows the cunning and despicableness of human beings. They believe in power and will hunt and kill them, so they have been surrounding their son in the woods. Unexpectedly, the golden-horned Xiechi met again A dark-haired young man.
"...People call him Gongzi Huan, he was seriously injured, my son brought him back, treated him, played with him, and when he recovered from his injury, I sent Gongzi Huan away..."
Xiezhi thought that this would cut off the relationship between his son and son Huan, but the young Xiezhi, who had not experienced much in the world, was already curious about the human world that Gongzi Huan talked about, and met every day with a person and a beast. Went to Zhongshan with Prince Huan.
At that time, the son of Zhongshan, Huan Gang, succeeded to the throne. He was young and ignorant. He was attacked all the way by the state of Jin and hid in the Taihang Mountains. He happened to be rescued by Xiao Xiezhi. The country wants to take back what belongs to him. Xiao Xiezhi is full of justice and is willing to help his friends. He summons his subordinates in the southern and northern wars, and the son Huan tries his best, but after seven or eight years, he still has nothing.
"I believed him at that time, but I never thought that eight years later, I would set foot in Zhongshan again, and I would get what I am today." Xiezhi said here with hatred in his eyes, "Young Master Huan took advantage of my son's trust, and I fell into In the trap he set..."
The old Xiezhi was dismantled alive, the bones were ground into powder and mixed into the brick walls of this palace, the single horn on his head became the roof of the palace, the leather was made into windows, a pair of wings were removed, and he used formations to Press here.
"Where's your son?"
There was sadness in Qixi's eyes, tears dripped from the corners of his eyes, and he wailed softly.
"I tried my best to let him escape, and I watched him escape with my own eyes..." Xie Zhi's eyes showed deep sadness.
Zhang Qiu knew that Xiao Xiezhi would not run away alone. His friends took advantage of his trust and set a trap. His father was tortured to death in order to save him.
The truth is exactly as Zhang Qiu imagined, Xiao Xiezhi came back with many scars, and looked at his friend stubbornly with tears in his eyes, until the last moment he didn't believe that his friend would treat him like this, but the next moment, Xiao Xie When Zhi saw his father's wings were removed, he roared madly and rushed around.
After being together for ten years, Prince Huan has learned about Xiezhi's weakness from Xiao Xiezhi.
In the Taihang Mountains, the mournful cry of the little Xiezhi lingered for a long time.
"Ah Huan - Ah Huan - Ah Huan -"
"I would like to use my soul to curse you for not being able to ask for it forever."
"Curse Zhongshan to destroy the country."
"Ah Huan - Ah Huan - Ah Huan, I hate you."
When Lao Xiezhi was dying and closed his eyes, he saw his son lying in a pool of blood, dying, "He didn't run away, and I don't know where he is. Maybe Mr. Huan killed him, maybe he's not dead yet." He himself felt hopeless.
Qixi let out a mournful voice, and rubbed against the old Xiezhi's wings, except that the wings were real, the others were spirit bodies.
"Good boy, good boy, you really look like my son." Old Xie Zhi rolled tears from his eyes. It was obviously a spirit body, but when it landed on Qi Xi's back, it was real, and the ice-cold penetration penetrated into the skin.
The ancient divine beast's physical body died, but its spiritual body was immortal, but it was separated and imprisoned for thousands of years by the formation. The old Xie Zhi's spiritual body had been consumed too much in a short period of time, as if it was about to dissipate.
Qi Xi sensed something was wrong, got anxious, and looked back at Zhang Yushui.
"I can fix his spirit body, but to release the formation, you need to know where the formation eye is." Zhang Yushui looked at Zhang Qiu, "I want to borrow your blood."
Zhang Qiu immediately pulled up his sleeves, wishing to give Liu a bowl to use.
This palace is where the old Xiezhi's physical body is. The spirit body was scattered and trapped in the whole palace. Zhang Yushui said: "Everyone retreat first, too much yang energy is not conducive to condensing the spirit body."
Qi Xi retreated reluctantly, the spirit of the old Xiezhi was not enough to support them, and slowly dispersed, they quickly retreated from the palace, and closed the black gate, Zhang Yushui, stained with Zhang Qiu's blood, began to draw symbols on the closed gate.
The bodyguards retreated to the bottom of the steps, and Li Shu went down to King Pihui to protect Zhang Yushui, so they couldn't be interrupted at this time.
Zhang Yushui has used this kind of formation before, but the solidified human soul is different from the spirit body of ancient beasts. The latter consumes a lot of energy, and it is easy to make mistakes if you are not paying attention. At the back, bead-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Zhang Qiu looked nervous, and he didn't dare to breathe loudly. He was already at the back, and the vermilion talisman of the black stone gate was faintly golden, radiant, and he could feel the power even standing not far away.
Soon.
There was a hint of relief in Qixi's eyes.
"Mr. Qi?!"
The bodyguard under the steps whispered in surprise when he saw the person coming.
"Roar!"
In the quiet palace, as soon as the bodyguard's soft voice fell, there was a sudden roar. Zhang Yushui was so shocked that his pen trembled, and he immediately stabilized his mind.
"Young Master Huan, it's you, it's you!"
The old Xiezhi in the palace seemed to be rushing out desperately, and the doors and windows of the whole palace were shaken faintly. Zhang Yushui knew that this was the old Xiezhi's desperate effort, and he wanted to kill the son Huan in his mouth, but now is not the time for revenge. How to stay in the green hills.
"Senior, calm down! Otherwise, the spirit body will be wiped out—" Zhang Yushui finished speaking loudly, and quickly moved his pen, "Who is here? Get out!"
Zhang Qiu had already seen the person coming from a distance, it was Qi Zhirong, Qi Xi naturally saw it too, with a complicated face, he immediately stepped forward to block Qi Zhirong's approach.
Qi Zhirong's breath was indifferent, he met Qi Xi's eyes, complicated eyes flashed, he stood there listening to the roar, and said dryly, "Xiaoxi is not dead."
The banging doors and windows immediately fell silent.
Old Xiezhi's low roar came from the palace, and it slowly dissipated. Just now, he had exhausted his spiritual body and tried to take revenge, but now hearing Qi Zhirong's words, all the resentment and desperate tone dissipated.
Zhang Yushui quickly put away the last stroke, met Shang Qixi's worried eyes, and said, "There is no danger, but his spiritual body consumes too much, and he must quickly disarm the formation, otherwise my formation will not be able to hold it." After speaking, he looked at Qi Zhirong who was on the steps, "Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Qi Zhirong." Qi Zhirong met Qi Xi's disbelieving eyes, and said in a low voice, "I said, I don't care about past and present, I'm just Qi Zhirong, I'm just Qi Zhirong." Stop the army..."
Such Qi Zhirong also indirectly admitted that he is the son Huan that Lao Xiezhi said.
"Xiaoxi—" Qi Xi's eyes were a little dazed.
"It's his son." Qi Zhirong said.
Zhang Qiu looked at Qi Zhirong and Qi Xi, could Qi Xi be Xiaoxi, the son of Old Xie Zhi? Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, Qi Zhirong is very indifferent to everyone, but Qi Xi repeatedly spoiled and turned into a cub shape. He didn't say anything, even the last time Qi Xihe kissed Qi Zhirong, Qi Zhirong didn't beat him up.
Looking back on Qi Zhirong and Qixi's little by little, Zhang Qiu now realizes that Qi Zhirong and Qixi are really extraordinary.
"Come with me." Qi Zhirong said.
Qi Xi stood where he was, with eyes full of coldness, staring at Qi Zhirong's back, "You were the one who killed Old Xiezhi."
"I don't know." Qi Zhirong looked back at Qi Xi on the steps, his eyes were somewhat confused, "It should be him, but I can feel that he didn't want to, he really didn't want to do this, he was regretting it. "
The one Qi Zhirong spoke of should be Gongzi Huan.
Zhang Qiu felt that this was the time, so he should seize the time to solve the formation first, and said while walking, everyone should be honest, otherwise he would always be on guard against someone.
"Talk while walking." Li Shu said, looking at Qi Zhirong, "You'd better not play tricks."
Qi Zhirong laughed at himself, "What he did, I have been carrying his obsession since I was a child, what tricks can I play, I said that I am just Qi Zhirong."
"But you're not." Qi Xi cut off Qi Zhirong's words, "You have a memory, and you remembered it at the reception."
What reception? Zhang Qiu thought for a while, the reception that Qi Xi mentioned should be held by Qi Zhirong. At that time, they met Qi Xi in the venue to wait for the Su family father and son. At that time, Qi Xi ordered Xiao Zhan to bring him food and return apples The fox left in a hurry after eating a snack, and it was Qixi who rescued them in the car accident.
At that time, Qi Xi was in his original form, and Zhang Qiu always thought that Qi Xi's original form could beat Su Yu, but today he found out that Qi Xi had drunk a drink mixed with alcohol that night, and met Qi Zhirong in the back garden of the hotel. Apparently something happened, Qi Xi couldn't control herself, and ran away early for fear of revealing her original shape, but she turned into her original shape on the way back.
"Well, I felt very familiar with you the first time I saw you. There was a voice in my heart telling me that what I have been looking for is you." Qi Zhirong admitted directly, "But I am me, and I, Qi Zhirong, will not be affected by anyone. Controlled, if there is no problem with my body, I will not care about these illusory things that trap me."
"If you don't want him to be lost, you'd better follow me." Qi Zhirong went down the steps first, "Believe it or not."
Zhang Qiu glanced at Li Shu, Li Shu nodded, they hurriedly followed Qi Zhirong, Qi Xi walked behind a little bit in a daze, obviously today was a big blow, all kinds of news poured into one place, Qi Xi opened his mouth, Still don't know what to say.
Qi Zhirong spoke in front, with his back behind them, Zhang Qiu couldn't see Qi Zhirong's expression.
"Because I met Qi Xi, I found that my body was out of control occasionally, and many strange and early memories appeared intermittently in my brain, a young animal named Xiaoxi, and his name was Gongzi Huan." Qi Zhirong said in a tone. Plain, as if talking about other people's affairs.
The story was no different from what the old Xie Zhi told, even the last trap, Qi Zhirong was telling the memory in his mind, Qi Xi gritted his teeth, his eyes were filled with resentment, and he stared at Qi Zhirong's back.
"... I can feel that he is unwilling, he is in pain, but he can't control his hands, the orders he gives are all from his mouth, he is like a marionette being controlled by someone, doing what he wants If you don’t want to do something, you will blame yourself and regret it day and night.” Qi Zhirong stopped and pointed to the river, “There was no place here, but he let it be built, and there is a creek hidden under the river, and he disobeyed a person’s order , did not deal with the creek like the old Xiezhi."
Qi Zhirong has been unwilling to admit that Gongzi Huan is him, and he is Gongzi Huan in his mouth. Whose order
Zhang Qiu thought of a tall and thin figure in the mural who was holding something from his back as a gift to the monarch, Gongzi Huan. Could it be this person who controlled Gongzi Huan? It's also possible that everything was messed up by Qi Zhirong, nothing was out of control, and it was all caused by Young Master Huan, who can explain all this.
They kept walking down the river guardrail, and when they arrived at a place, Qi Zhirong stared into it for a long time, whispering, "He used to like swimming very much, but I killed him..."
Zhang Qiu found that Qi Zhirong's expression was blurred when he was talking, but soon he could see Qi Zhirong's expression clearly again.
"Oh, you found out?" Qi Zhirong looked at Zhang Qiu and smiled, "I said, this body is occasionally out of my control."
"You are too repulsive, maybe you should try to accept that Qi Zhirong is Gongzi Huan, and Gongzi Huan is Qi Zhirong." Zhang Yushui said, "Or what are you afraid of?"
Qi Zhirong glanced at Qi Xi subconsciously, and quickly withdrew his gaze, "I don't know what you are talking about, he is him, and I am me."
Zhang Qiu felt that Qi Zhirong might be afraid that Qi Xi would hate him. If he admitted that he was Young Master Huan, then the one who killed Qi Xi's father would be Young Master Huan. How could he accept Prince Huan
What a headache.
"At the beginning, that person asked me to build such a palace. It was suppressed by the god beast Xiezhi, and it would bless the prosperity of Zhongshan Kingdom for generations. He asked me to build a small palace here and bury the bones of the creek under it. Later, he disappeared. I will The palace was dug up, but there was a steady stream of water coming out, and the bones of the stream could not be found, so I simply asked someone to build a river..." When Qi Zhirong said this, he used me, as if it was Prince Huan.
Li Shu suddenly said, "What did he offer you?"
"A piece of jade, the whole body is white and flawless, it is said that it can reverse life and death, immortality, and prosperity of the country." Qi Zhirong said here, his eyes were full of confusion, and he frowned, "I, I can't remember what he looks like... "
After Qi Zhirong finished speaking, he returned to his indifferent manner, but Zhang Qiu found that, along the way, Qi Zhirong seemed afraid of meeting Qi Xi's eyes.
"The eyes of the formation should be here. The person who gave you advice is very vicious. The two act as the eyes of the formation. They restrain each other and finally the spirit body dissipates. However, because of your later changes, the effectiveness is greatly reduced. I said that the old Xiezhi suffers like this. Seriously injured, the spirit body can survive until now..." Zhang Yushui said.
Fortunately, Pei Qing came this time, the green dragon belongs to water, they don't need diving equipment, Pei Qing turned into the original form, a dragon's tail was pulled out from it, the river split into two, Zhang Qiu could vaguely see the blue slate, because Pei Qing's movements were turned upside down, Li Shu and Qi Xi had already gone down, and after searching for a long time according to the location Qi Zhirong said, they did not find Xiao Xi's body.
Zhang Yusailor held the bronze mirror, looking at the place where the river parted, Zhang Qiu vaguely felt the golden color dazzle, and Qi Zhirong beside him said tremblingly, "It's the creek, it's his horn."
When Qixi touched it, it was cold and slippery with mud. He seemed to be scalded. He couldn't recover from holding the things in his hand for a long time, and he didn't know when he would land.
"... That person did it when the foundation was built. Fortunately, you demolished it in the end. A part of Xiaoxi's spirit body remained here, and the rest was dazed and restored to its original shape, forgetting the past." Zhang Yushui said.
Qixi trembled slightly, he didn't know who he was, he didn't know his parents and brothers, he remembered that it was Sister Ping who signed him, saying that Qixi was a good name, he had to find someone to calculate it, it would definitely be popular, he didn't know himself What did he do before? He was a Xiezhi, but he had no memory. He thought that all divine beasts were the same.
Born in a daze, without past events.
The eye was broken, and the old Xiezhi who was trapped in the palace was freed, but he was too damaged, and the best way back was to reincarnate immediately.
Qixi held the golden horn in his hand, and looked blankly at Old Xiezhi. Old Xiezhi rubbed against Qixi's head, tears streaming down Qixi's back, roaring in a low voice, with a deep and gentle voice .
Following Zhang Yushui's death talisman, the figure of Old Xiezhi disappeared in the air little by little.
"Father." Qi Xi murmured with tears streaming down her face unknowingly.
Suddenly, the golden wings in the air came down suddenly, firmly covering Qixi's figure. The huge golden wings completely covered Qixi, and Qixi's low roar and panting sound came from below.
Zhang Qiu wanted to go forward to find out, but was pulled by Li Shu.
"inherited."
Slowly the panting in the hall stopped, and Qi Xi, who was wrapped in wings, slowly stood up, with a monstrous face, naked body, a pair of huge golden wings on his back, and his eyes coldly fixed on Qi Zhirong in the crowd.
Zhang Qiu had never seen Qi Xi with such a serious and cold expression.
