In the brick and stone ruins, Li Jinglong's mouth and nose were bleeding, his arm was broken, and the magic circle disintegrated along with the damage of the earth.
He climbed on the ground and climbed towards the Wisdom Sword, but An Lushan stepped on the Wisdom Sword.
"Catch him," said An Lushan's voice.
The monsters stepped forward and lifted Li Jinglong up. Li Jinglong was dragged up the steps like a dead dog, and dragged across the main hall of Mingtang, leaving bloodstains all over the floor.
By the Tianjin Bridge, everyone gathered, all with wounds all over their bodies.
Although Artai's blow was cushioned by the strong wind, he fell hard after all. Mo Zhigen and Ashinaqiong were slightly better, their faces and bodies were covered with blood. The carp demon was the first to be sent out of the range of the magic circle, and his leg was scratched and bled a little.
Hong Jun hurriedly applied medicine and bandaged the injuries to everyone. Artest asked, "Where's your sister-in-law? Didn't come?"
"I saw her chasing that black bear earlier, but I didn't know where she was chasing it." Ashinaqiong continued.
At that moment, Trundeau came, twisted a black bear with a whip, dragged it to the Tianjin Bridge, and panted, "I'm exhausted...I'm exhausted!"
"What did you grab it for?" Artest was almost convinced.
"It's dead!" Trundeau replied instantly, "You can sell it for money! You don't need money for food! Who is crying all day long about the lack of money?"
Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment. It turned out that Trundeau chased the black bear all the way to the southeast of the Ming Hall. The black bear was dizzy and just wanted to hide from the whip, so he fell into the pit outside the Ming Hall. It happened that the pit was the trench that Bi Sichen had sent soldiers to dig before, and he planned to destroy it once the city was broken. According to this, the Mingtang is guarded, and countless sharp knives are buried inside. Once the black bear falls into it, it will be pierced by thousands of swords. The more it struggles, the harder it is to climb up.
Trundeau stood aside, strangled the black bear's neck with a whip, and finally the black bear died, and Trundeau dragged it up.
"Let's do the work first." Artest said, "Put it in the next room, and we'll divide it when we're done."
"How is Jing Long?" Hong Jun asked anxiously.
"I can't die." Mo Zhigen said, "Don't worry."
Before everyone fled, Mo Zhigen took a special look from a distance. Although Li Jinglong was covered with bruises and fractures in many places, his life should not be in danger. However, when Mo Rigen spoke, he felt a little guilty after all, Hong Jun could see it, and knew that Li Jinglong must be having a hard time.
He didn't ask any more questions, and was silent for a while before helping everyone bandage up. Mo Zhigen said: "Let's act now. It should start soon."
The exorcists nodded with heavy hearts, and then dispersed.
The place where Hongjun was assigned was Tongtian Pagoda opposite Luoyang Exorcism Department. Ashinaqiong deliberately sent him to Tongtian Pagoda, took him to the ground veins, and then turned and left. Before leaving, he was silent for a moment and said: "Hong Jun, everything will be fine, and Chang Shi will come back."
Hong Jun nodded. He respected everyone in the Exorcism Department, and knew that no matter who it was, they would be more willing to replace Li Jinglong in this dangerous task. But they had no choice but Li Jinglong to go, and he also respected Li Jinglong's self-sacrifice.
In the main hall of Mingtang, Li Jinglong was in severe pain all over his body, with blood all over his head and face.
The charm was still close to his chest, and there was silence in the hall.
"Hello." A voice said in Li Jinglong's ear.
Li Jinglong opened his eyes, and saw a slender man with short shaved hair, like a monk, wearing iron scale armor squatting outside the iron cage beside him.
"Is your name Li Jinglong?" the man said.
Li Jinglong remembered that this monster is one of the three monster generals around An Lushan, named Chaoyun. According to the carp monster, he is relatively normal among the many disgusting monsters in the Anlu Mountain camp. .
Zhaoyun's eyes are bright, golden and big. Although he is a transformed snake, he is not as sharp-faced and ferocious as an ordinary snake monster. Perhaps he has cultivated for a longer time, and he looks like a handsome young man of the human race.
"Kong Hongjun, do you know him?" Chao Yun asked again while squatting with his hands down.
"What's wrong?" Li Jinglong said wearily.
"Is he the little prince of Yaojin Palace?" Chao Yun asked again, "Is he the one I met in the canal that day?"
Li Jinglong said weakly: "Speak up if you have something to say."
Chao Yun whispered, "You are injured, take some medicine."
As he spoke, Zhao Yun handed over a piece of bark.
"I don't eat this..." Li Jinglong said.
Even if it was a elixir, it was impossible for him to eat something brought by An Lushan's monsters. If he was poisoned, all previous efforts would be wasted.
"Let's eat." Chaoyun said, "It's good to heal your wounds."
"What's the matter?" Li Jinglong said, "If An Lushan knows that you are talking to me, you will be finished."
Zhao Yun looked around and said in a low voice, "I'll discuss it with you. I'll get you out. Do me a favor."
Li Jinglong frowned, and then looked at Chaoyun seriously.
"I have a few brothers." Chao Yun turned his head vigilantly, and explained to Li Jinglong in a very low voice, "Everyone has been with An Lushan for so long, and I feel that it is impossible to continue like this, and I want to go to Chongming and Master Qingxiong. , you are familiar with them, tell us brothers?"
Li Jinglong: "..."
Chaoyun said again: "Kong Hongjun is the little prince of the Celestial Clan, right? I heard from Zhao Zilong that he is still the child of Peacock Daming King, and Lord Chongming has passed into nirvana. Apart from the golden-winged roc in the Celestial Clan, he is the The final say, if he is willing to take us in, everyone will stop messing with An Lushan."
Li Jinglong never expected that there would be such a thing, and he asked, "Why?"
Chaoyun rubbed his prickly head, thought for a while, and said, "Everyone just wants to practice hard and transform into a dragon in the future. I don't want to do so much. When the time comes, everyone will suffer a catastrophe together, it is not worthwhile."
Li Jinglong is out of control now, Chaoyun is so enthusiastic about saving himself, if he refuses him, won't he be exposed? However, if he were to be rescued, the previous plan would be ruined again.
"They don't know where they went." Li Jinglong said feebly, "If you go out now, you can't find anyone, and you can't run far..."
"It's okay." Chaoyun said seriously, "I'll take you out, if they can't catch them, let the brothers find your friends separately..."
Li Jinglong: "No need..."
Zhao Yun: "?"
"I'm afraid I'll hurt you." Li Jinglong said again.
Chao Yun: "You are stupid! We saved you, and we ran away too! Who will stay here!"
Li Jinglong: "..."
Li Jinglong really didn't agree, but he couldn't refuse. Chaoyun said: "I have wings and I can fly. I have liked birds since I was a child. You don't have to worry about not being able to do it. Just introduce me and we will let His Highness see it." Thanks to everyone's sincerity..."
Li Jinglong just wanted to roar, what the hell is going on!
However, at this moment, Liang Danhuo's voice suddenly said coldly: "Chaoyun, what are you doing?!"
Chaoyun immediately turned his head, hissed, showing a dangerous expression. Liang Danhuo looked at Chaoyun suspiciously, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense.
Chao Yun replied, "Nothing to do, I'm pressing for the whereabouts of the rest of him."
Li Jinglong secretly thought that monsters are also so smart.
Liang Danhuo said: "Ah Zhuang is missing, you can look for him."
"Isn't this right here?" Zhao Yun replied indifferently.
Liang Danhuo said angrily, "Go out and look for it!"
Chao Yun had no choice but to stand up and pass by Liang Danhuo, Liang Danhuo said again: "What did Zhao Zilong tell you?"
Chao Yun was full of doubts, frowning and looking at Liang Danhuo, Liang Danhuo said angrily: "It's a traitor!"
"It's not you who recruited me here." Chao Yun mocked.
Liang Danhuo was so angry that he gave Chao Yun a hard look, and then Li Jinglong.
"You won't live long." Liang Danhuo sneered.
Li Jinglong sneered back, leaning against the side of the cage, staring at the dark sky outside the hall.
On this day, it snowed heavily in Luoyang City, and there were no living people in the city, only a few exorcists and the demon clan headed by An Lushan remained.
Hong Jun sat in front of the window pane on the first floor of the Tongtian Pagoda, looking out, the city was full of snowflakes, and the heavy snow gently covered the ruins, dead bodies, and bloodstains left by the war. Covering this 3,000-year-old city in silvery white, how many sins and deaths were covered by the white snow, as if nothing had happened, but with a faint holiness and solemnity.
"He'll be fine." The carp demon comforted by the fire.
The broken table and chair legs in the Tongtian Pagoda were stuffed into the stove, making a crackling sound.
Hong Jun let out a "hmm".
The carp demon said again: "There are far fewer monsters around An Lushan. I heard from them that they are not as powerful as before."
The carp monster has stayed in Fan Yangwei's mansion for more than a year, so naturally I have heard a lot of rumors about them. In the past, when the power of the inner demon was at its peak, the four big monsters of wine, sex, wealth, and qi, plus the painted skin Liang Danhuo, Hua Hua, etc. Snake Chaoyun, even the Changan Xie Prison, the fox demon Wu Qiyu, the God of Plague in Saibei and the Snow Maiden all paid their allegiance to him.
But with the emergence of the Exorcist Division, Li Jinglong split up to attack, not only killing the monsters under his command, but also separating An Lushan and Yang Guozhong. Now almost everyone around An Lushan has rebelled, leaving only two generals, Chao Yun and Liang Danhuo.
"Chaoyun is the snake that sent me to the shore?" Hong Jun was distracted and asked.
"I told him not to hurt you! I said it!" The carp demon hurriedly jumped up, and said to Hongjun, "I told him that you are the prince of Yaojin Palace and the sole heir of Lord Chongming, and you are waiting to be eradicated." After Xie Prison and Heavenly Demon, you will be the Demon King!"
Hong Jun nodded, and the carp demon said in frustration, "I'm sorry, Hong Jun."
"I forgive you." Hong Jun said casually, "Don't say sorry again in the future."
The carp demon said "oh", looked at Hongjun blankly, and said after a long time: "It's really unreasonable for fish to have no tears."
Hong Jun laughed instead, and suddenly remembered something, he took out the dragon scale that Li Jinglong gave him from his arms, and said, "Give it to you."
"What is this!" The carp demon said as if he had found a treasure, "Is this the scale of Lord Long?"
"That's right." Hong Jun looked at the carp demon and said, "Jing Long gave it to me, and it's for you."
The carp demon was surprised: "Have you ever seen a dragon? What does the dragon look like? Is it the same as the one in the book?"
Hong Jun smiled, and briefly talked about what happened in the Dragon Town Pagoda. The carp demon couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, then looked at the scales in his hand, and said: "This, this... this can't be done, this is too precious, summoning it can save lives Ah! You can keep it, if there is an emergency... "
"Jing Long said it to you." Hong Jun said, "We will send it to you together."
Li Jinglong did say this, but the original words were "It's not bad to send Zhao Zilong this dragon scale, so as not to babble like a father-in-law. I'm not sent all day long. Anyway, I have taken care of you for so long, so I will pay for this." Jun quarreled with him a few words.
Of course, Hong Jun didn't tell the carp demon, saying: "No, even if you summon the dragon, it won't be of much help."
Those dragon kings were all dumb and blind. Hong Jun didn't expect them to get rid of the demon at all. According to the previous situation of being eroded by the demon energy, it would be good not to be incited by the demon to surrender to the enemy. At most, when the monster army appeared, they would be summoned and burned.
"Then, can I ask them for help, Hualong?" the carp demon asked again.
Hong Jun scratched his head and said, "Maybe they will answer you?"
The carp demon fell into ecstasy, held the dragon scale in his hands, found out his little waist pouch, and put it away solemnly.
Hong Jun thought of the Dragon Kings, but suddenly remembered that the Heavenly Demon did seem to have a very strong control over the Yaozu. But almost none of the monsters, even dragons, can resist the demonic energy. After all, after cultivating spiritual wisdom, most of the monsters are wild and unruly. It is by nature that they are bloodthirsty and killing. It is more important for the demons to control the monsters than to control the human race. easy.
The human race seems to be born with love, family affection, friendship, etc... many powers that give them hope. When facing demons, this power has the characteristics of restraining demons in the dark.
But the body of the human race is too weak, so weak that it is almost powerless to struggle, and it is very easy for the monster race to use it as food for nourishment.
What am I? Hong Jun couldn't help asking himself again.
There is a demon in his body, originally born purely as a demon, but his body is half demon and half human, demon, demon, human, the three races in the land of China, all have a secret connection with him , as if by fate.
"Hong Jun." The carp demon interrupted Hong Jun's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, the second child will be fine."
Hong Jun sighed and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little uneasy."
The carp demon tried his best to comfort him. Li Jinglong, who was once looked down upon, has now been blown into a god by it, and there is no existence in the sky or on the earth. Hong Jun felt a little more relaxed. At this moment, Xiangyu was standing outside the gate of Tongtian Futu holding an umbrella.
"Your Highness!" Xiangyu shouted.
Xiangyu wanted to salute, but Hong Jun hurriedly told her not to be polite. Normally, the members of the Exorcist Division were there, but Xiangyu and Wen Bin rarely came over to greet them. Now that the others were gone, Xiangyu called her "His Royal Highness" and let her go. Hong Jun felt a lot more cordial.
"Do you think my body looks good?" Xiangyu said with a smile.
Xiangyu wore a long crimson dress, wrapped in a fur jacket, and turned out a snow-white foxtail collar. She turned around for Hong Jun to see, and Hong Jun smiled and said, "You are beautiful, you are beautiful."
Xiangyu said: "They are all ready, let me accompany you."
Hong Jun knew that everyone was worried about him, so Xiangyu picked up the interesting things about himself and Wen Bin in the weekdays, and told Hong Jun, the general idea was that Wen Bin was dumb, couldn't do anything well, and was always nerdy on weekdays be silly. Hong Jun only laughed and said, "Jing Long is much smarter than me, and in his eyes, I can't do anything well."
"I don't think so." Xiangyu laughed at herself, "But everyone has their own destiny, who is who at the booth, and who made me like him?"
"Yes." Hong Jun smiled, "Whoever is at the stall, just like it."
When he heard this, Hong Jun looked away a lot.
