"Xingyu." At this time, Songhua appeared behind Luo Xuan, "You know what Xingyu symbolizes."
Luo Xuan lowered his head and stared at the unconscious Jiang Heng. Songhua said again: "The ghost master is about to leave the prison, Luo Xuan, you have gone too far."
After Luo Xuan was warned by Songhua, he seemed to have a little scruples, and his expression showed unease. He took a few steps forward and bowed to carry Jiang Heng back to the room, but Jiang Heng's whole body was limp, like a dead man.
"What's the matter with me?" Luo Xuan said coldly, "I'm not far away to collect such a corpse for him, and he should thank me."
Songhua turned around and left, and dropped a sentence: "When your master leaves the customs, you can explain it to him yourself."
Luo Xuan's brows were full of anger, he took a deep breath for a moment, and ignored Jiang Heng who was lying on the ground.
There was a drizzle in the sky, and when the rain hit Jiang Heng's face, he woke up.
He didn't know how long he had been lying down this time, and when he struggled to get up, a pool of water accumulated in front of him, whether it was tears or rain.
Jiang Heng started to cry again, trembling, he groped to put away the ashes of Heijian and Geng Shu, still plunged into the bundle, carried the bundle crookedly on his back, leaned on crutches, and limped. He walked towards the main hall, wiping away his tears with difficulty.
"Is Mr. Ghost there?" Jiang Heng held back his tears and asked Song Hua, who was sitting in the main hall of the Four Divine Beasts.
Song Hua raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Heng.
"It's still in retreat." Songhua said coldly.
Jiang Heng nodded and said, "I want to say goodbye to him, I'm leaving now, thank you... Thank you..." Jiang Heng choked up again, dragged his injured leg, walked heavily to the side porch, and said goodbye to Luo.
"Brother Luo..." Jiang Heng whispered outside the bedroom door, "I'm gone, I know you don't like it, but I also want to repay you, this kindness can only be waited for in the next life, wait for me to be a cow and a horse..."
Luo Xuan lay on the couch with his arms and legs crossed, his expression calm.
Jiang Heng's heavy footsteps drifted away, and Luo Xuan suddenly sat up again, facing the silent bedroom.
When Jiang Heng walked out of the sea pavilion, the rain stopped again, the mountain road winding down, leading to the long sea in the distance.
He didn't know where this road would eventually go. It seemed as if it was thousands of miles away from the Central Plains and the capital. He also didn't know where he should go. Looking at the vast world, he had become a lonely bird in the vast mountains and rivers.
In the evening, it was foggy and misty, Jiang Heng watched all this and couldn't help but feel sad, hugged his burden, and cried again.
The cry spread, Jiang Heng wiped away his tears, but couldn't stop the sadness, dragging his injured leg slowly down the mountain, walking aimlessly, no matter where the road leads or how far.
On the shore of the long coast, the maple forest was bloody. Jiang Heng cried so hard that he hiccups, but he couldn't cry anymore. He walked through the maple forest covered in mud and water.
Luo Xuan lay on the branch of a tree and glanced sideways at Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng hugged the bundle and rested for a while leaning against a tree. The hilt of the black sword was exposed in the bundle. That weapon was too heavy for him, and he walked for an hour before reaching the long sea.
Luo Xuan frowned deeply, watching Jiang Heng's thin back slowly leave through the wet maple leaves.
At dusk, Jiang Heng was standing by the long coast, beside Fenglin Village, there was no one in the village, only abandoned houses and tiles remained.
After crying and crying, Jiang Heng was at a loss, and when he saw smoke coming out of the chimney of a family, he went up and knocked on the door.
There was no answer inside.
Jiang Heng pushed open the door and went in, saying sorry, but he saw Luo Xuan sitting in the corner in the dim, abandoned house, building a fire with a crock pot on it.
Luo Xuan held a piece of ginseng in his hand, cut it into pieces, and threw it into the pot.
"Brother Luo?" Jiang Heng said unexpectedly.
Luo Xuan said, "Where are you going?"
Jiang Heng shook his head, put down the black sword and the burden in the abandoned house, and replied, "I don't know. I..." At this time, Jiang Heng thought of his mother who had left, and said, "My mother may still be alive."
"Tianyue Sword, Jiang Zhao." Luo Xuan suddenly said.
"You know her?" Jiang Heng said.
Luo Xuan didn't answer, and said casually, "What if she also died?"
Jiang Heng wanted to cry, but his tears had dried up. His throat was bitter and he could not make a sound. He looked at Luo Xuan and finally smiled reluctantly.
He couldn't explain why he was laughing at this time, but he couldn't find a more appropriate word to say.
Luo Xuan poured out a little of the ginseng soup from the earthen pot and handed it to him in a broken bowl.
The sudden pain and sadness in Jiang Heng's heart was like a tsunami that finally ended, and the stormy waves in his heart slowly calmed down.
"Is it really Geng Shu?" Jiang Heng whispered, "Is he dead?"
"I don't know," Luo Xuan said casually, "I'm not sure, but according to your words, I think most of it is. I found him in front of a tree in Lingshan Canyon, and he was on his knees, kneeling upright. Under the tree. You can believe it or not."
Jiang Heng's breathing twitched a few times, and his tears had long since dried up. In the end, he could only accept this reality.
"Do you want me to find your mother?" Luo Xuan looked at Jiang Heng and asked again, "Did Jiang Zhao tell you before he left? Where is she in Yuedi?"
Jiang Heng shook his head numbly.
Luo Xuan didn't say a word, and lay in the corner with his long legs folded and closed his eyes. The sun went down, and the shadows enveloped them. After a long time, Jiang Heng sighed a long time and lay down in another corner. The two were silent.
Until dawn, when Jiang Heng was half asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside.
"Someone is here, Brother Luo?" Jiang Heng sat up and said, "Who is it?"
Luo Xuan kept his eyes closed and remained silent, Jiang Heng still lay down when he saw that he didn't move. But in an instant, a man's wild shout came. Jiang Heng was completely awake in an instant and turned his head to look outside the room.
Luo Xuan also opened his eyes and frowned.
Wanton laughter, killing, and begging for mercy were mixed together.
Jiang Heng looked terrified, and was about to climb to the window to look, but Luo Xuan got up, grabbed Jiang Heng by the collar, threw him back into the corner, brushed off the dust on his body, and opened the door calmly. went out.
"There are still people here?!" There was a conversation in Ying Di's accent outside, and he said again, "Where did you come from?"
Jiang Heng held his breath and listened, only to hear another sound from outside the room: "Help! Help, young man, please..."
Luo Xuan's voice said: "Who are you? Where did you come from? Where are you going?"
"Can you manage it?!" said Ying's accent harshly earlier, "Take him back!"
Suddenly, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the open space outside the room, and with another shout, the world became completely quiet.
Jiang Heng's heart was beating wildly, he looked out the window and saw several Ying cavalry soldiers lying on the ground. Luo Xuan walked to the corner of the open space outside the room, took out a dagger, and patiently cut the rope tied to the person in the corner.
It was a yellow-faced and thin middle-aged man who was struggling, and as soon as the rope was untied, he turned around to run, but Luo Xuan didn't mean to chase him at all, but turned around and entered the room.
"Anti-God Evil God"
Jiang Heng raised his head to look at Luo Xuan, Luo Xuan took a good rest, sat down again, and continued to sleep in his cage.
"You killed them all?" Jiang Heng asked.
Luo Xuan didn't answer, and the two heard a little noise outside. Immediately, Luo Xuan said again: "It's raining, where do you want to go? Come in and avoid it!"
The door was pushed open, and the middle-aged man came in tremblingly, holding two chickens whose feet were tied.
"Thank you... Thank you! Thank you young man for saving his life." The middle-aged man kowtowed to Luo Xuan and escaped from death, still very nervous, "This kind of grace can't be repaid, only to be a bull in the next life..."
"Don't be a cow and a horse!" Luo Xuan said impatiently, "Everyone is a cow and a horse, so in the next life you want me to be reincarnated as a cow herder?"
Jiang Heng looked at Luo Xuan, and then at the middle-aged man. Luo Xuan kept his eyes closed, and the middle-aged man couldn't help crying and laughing.
"Is there something to eat?" Luo Xuan ordered, "Just take some out."
The middle-aged man said: "To be honest, young man, I am a businessman... Everything is about to be robbed, and there are only these two chickens left on the road. If the young man dislikes it, I will kill the chicken for you to eat. "
"There are chickens to eat," Luo Xuan said, "don't dislike it."
"Don't kill it," Jiang Heng said. "It's not easy. I'm not hungry. You have to eat on the way."
Luo Xuan said, "You are not hungry, I am."
Jiang Heng felt a little guilty and said, "Then I won't eat it, I won't do anything, just kill one."
The middle-aged man said, "I'll go... Looking for something to eat?"
After the businessman was going to the house, Luo Xuan said again: "Don't open the door of the cellar."
The businessman hurriedly said, "Yes, young hero."
The businessman took courage and went outside the door to turn over the cavalry's body. Luo Xuan seemed to have known what he was going to do, and said, "The body is poisonous, so don't touch it with your hands. It's okay to bring something with you."
The merchant picked up a wooden stick, pulled out the dry food and wind meat from the cavalry, took it in and asked, "Is this not poisonous? Young hero?"
Luo Xuan was too lazy to answer, so the businessman tore the wind meat apart, put it into the earthenware pot, added the rice and salt he brought with him, and boiled it together. Jiang Heng climbed over, took some rice, and fed it to the chickens thrown in the corner.
"Are you also here at Ghost Mountain?" The businessman said to Jiang Heng when he saw that Luo Xuan didn't want to speak.
Jiang Heng asked, "What is Ghost Mountain?"
The merchant and Jiang Heng were confused. The merchant pointed in the direction of Cangshan Mountain in the distance, and said, "Walking in, you will never get out of the foggy mountain. You don't know? I don't know, how come you came here?"
Jiang Heng was full of doubts and shook his head.
Luo Xuan replied casually: "Yes, there is a female ghost in black clothes on the mountain. Anyone who goes in will be sucked up."
The merchant's face turned pale, he sighed, and said, "Ying Kingdom has blocked the border with Dai Kingdom, so we can only pass through Ghost Mountain, otherwise we will never be able to return home."
Jiang Heng said, "How is it going outside now?"
The businessman thought for a while and then asked, "Young man, which country are you talking about?"
After the pilaf in the crock pot was cooked, Jiang Heng scooped it out with a broken bowl. The first bowl was handed to Luo Xuan, and then to the businessman. Luo Xuan took it, and the remaining two began to eat. Jiang Heng listened to the businessman while eating, only to realize that too many things have happened in the land of Shenzhou during this period of time.
And the source of everything, but also from the avalanche.
A few months ago, an avalanche on Lingshan Mountain of Wangdu buried a hundred thousand troops from the Liang, Zheng, and Yong kingdoms. Ji Xun, the emperor of Jin, set himself on fire and accompany all officials of the court to die for the country. This tragic ending made the allied forces of the four countries attack Yong, and finally gave up halfway.
This was the second time that the coalition had returned without success. The fight for the emperor made the five kingdoms' hearts slacken, and they could no longer assemble against the Yong Kingdom. The Yong army, whose vitality was severely damaged, once again returned to Yubi Pass to defend.
The late Dai and Ying kingdoms took advantage of the fisherman and began to clean up the battlefield. After the death of the emperor, together with a fire in Luoyang, it became a top priority to clean up the king's capital. The ancestral temple was burned down, and the nine tripods, which symbolized the king's power in the world, were turned into a pool of copper water, which condensed the resentment of the entire court.
Who is qualified to succeed the emperor? Or will there be no Son of Heaven in the world from now on, and the five kingdoms will each claim the title of emperor
At this time, whoever gets the legitimate right of inheritance will be the new emperor. Even if the facts may not be able to command the world, at least there is still a name. After carrying the king's flag, he can use the name of the king to conquer all sides.
So Ying Guojun claimed that when the army entered the city, he finally met the emperor and was entrusted by Ji Xun with the golden seal of the kingdom.
The Jiuding was destroyed in the fire, but the golden seal was extremely strong. Whoever got the golden seal would be able to prove the rationality of succeeding to the throne.
But soon, Dai Guo also claimed that he had obtained the golden seal, and Ying was the one who threatened the emperor and murdered the emperor.
Both parties claimed to have been personally bestowed by the emperor, but they did not show the golden seal for a long time. There are different opinions all over the world. I don't know where this little seal of inheritance has been left after the fire in Luoyang.
Only Jiang Heng knew its whereabouts, and also knew that neither of the two countries had obtained the weapon of inheritance.
Another two months later, a war broke out between the two kingdoms of Dai and Ying due to the two-hundred-year-old Banan border dispute. At present, the borders are all blocked, and the only ones that no one has set foot in are the Changhai and Cangshan areas.
"So..." the businessman said in despair, "I want to take advantage of this time to return to my wife and children. I can't get anywhere, so I have to go to the ghost mountain."
Cangshan, also known as "Ghost Mountain", is a place where the nearby residents never dared to enter. For hundreds of years, it has been said that there are man-eating spirits on the mountain, but those who enter this mountain never come out alive again.
Jiang Heng sighed, but he was thinking of another question—the assassin who came to snatch the golden seal on the night the capital fell.
"Ji's family is a fucking lunatic." Luo Xuansha commented on the matter, and said to Jiang Heng: "No normal person has been crazy for hundreds of years. If you want to meet someone with the surname Ji, be careful, they are crazy. Get up and kill yourself."
"Maybe it's a plot set up by Yong Guo?" Jiang Heng still respected Ji Xun very much, and changed the subject, saying, "If they spread news everywhere and cause Dai and Ying to fight, they just don't have time to manage Yubi Pass. "
"That's what I said." The merchant said sympathetically, "But on behalf of King Wu of the Kingdom and King Xiong Lei, wouldn't they be greedy at all? In the end, it's all for their own greed and ambition, and they only pity the people of the world."
"Yes." Jiang Heng replied.
It was very quiet inside the broken house. The merchant took out some of his money and put it on the ground. When he was about to thank him, Luo Xuan said, "Keep it for yourself, the young man doesn't need the money."
The businessman had to insist, Luo Xuan said, "If you want to repay your kindness, you can go home safely. It's the rules of the teacher's sect, and you can't accept money."
The businessman then thanked him again and again, kowtowed to Luo Xuan again, took up his umbrella, and left the village in the rain.
"What exactly is this place?" Jiang Heng said to himself.
This village seems to have been destroyed by the war, but it is not recently, it must have been abandoned for many years.
"It's my home." Luo Xuan suddenly said.
