Tianbao fourteen years on June 13th.
Case: escape.
Difficulty: Tianzi level
Region: Chang'an City
Involved: An Lushan (Tianma)
Facts of the case: On the eighth day of June, Tongguan was broken. The Heavenly Demon is coming to the west, and the capital of the world is in danger. Fudo Mingwang's six weapons are still missing, and Li Jinglong, the holder of the heart lamp, has been severely injured. The exorcist must protect the people of Chang'an. Li Tang's royal family should evacuate Chang'an as soon as possible.
Qiu Yongsi, Mo Zhigen, Lu Xu, Ashinaqiong, Artest, Trundeau, Hong Jun, Carp Demon, all had an unprecedented meeting after dinner.
"An Lushan will chase us wherever we flee!" Hong Jun paced in the hall and said, "It's useless! Is it safe to leave Chang'an?!"
The exorcists all saw the scene where Anlu Mountain turned into a black cloud and rolled towards them. Even if they fled to the Hanzhong Plain or entered Shu, what should come will still come. After Tongguan was broken, the rebels marched all the way westward to take Chang'an , and why did it stop for a moment
"That's right." Qiu Yongsi replied, "Although I don't want to admit it, it is the case after all. If we don't kill the arrogance of the demon here, even if we escape to the ends of the earth, we will be overtaken by it."
Trundeau frowned and said, "What exactly does it want?"
"Human life." Artest explained, "The fear, resentment, hostility, etc. before death are all its food. It wants all living things, the hostility emitted by suffering."
"Mortals have to retreat, we have to fight." Qiu Yongsi circled several strongholds in Chang'an City on the map, and said, "First of all, the soldiers have to be divided into two groups, escorting the emperor along the way, and taking the seriously injured Chang Shi to leave. Where. Hong Jun, you are the most familiar with them, you go."
Hong Jun knew that everyone had made special arrangements, and he knew even more that he didn't want to leave Li Jinglong.
"I'll send him to a safe place and come back." Hong Jun said, "Fight side by side with everyone."
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and finally everyone said "um", and the carp demon said, "I'm with everyone."
Hong Jun said to the carp demon: "Zhao Zilong, I have something to tell you."
On the eve of the war, when Hong Jun spoke like this, everyone suddenly felt an ominous atmosphere.
Qiu Yongsi immediately said: "Hey! Everyone, this is not going to die, Hong Jun, take it easy for me."
Hong Jun immediately said: "I don't want to die either!"
Artest smiled and comforted: "Although Chang Shi can't join the battle, the brothers are not fuel-efficient lamps."
Hongjun: "..."
Qiu Yongsi smiled again and said: "Cheer up, we can't reach the level of Changshi, and we will fight with our lives. At this moment, everyone's goal is very clear..."
Qiu Yongsi's goal is indeed very clear, and the purpose of the battle is only two words: to live. All retreat plans are based on the premise that the Exorcist Division can be preserved.
"Hong Jun, especially don't think about sacrificing yourself." Qiu Yongsi said, "The rope to bind the demon is on you."
"Agree." The others said one after another.
"According to the fact that we have two magic weapons in our hands." Mo Zhigen said again, "Perhaps using the terrain of Chang'an, we can first use this retreat as an attempt to bind the demon rope and the eclipse bow..."
So in just a short moment, everyone agreed on a simple countermeasure with each other. Hong Jun had almost given up hope at first, but he didn't expect everyone to work together, and now he felt, vaguely, that he had the courage to confront An Lushan again.
"Then the rest." Hong Jun frowned, "The most important thing..."
"Persuade them to evacuate." Mo Zhigen said, "I will accompany you into the palace for a walk."
"I have a hunch..."
"What premonition? Will we die?" Hong Jun and Mo Zhigen walked through the corridor, talking in low voices.
"No." Mo Zhigen said in a low voice, looking sideways at the rainwater outside the corridor, smelling the blood in the rainwater, and replied, "You Han people say that it's a good time, I always feel that we are gradually turning things around, maybe , the situation is about to reverse.”
There was a muffled thunder, and the torrential rain poured down in the darkness. The overwhelming rain was actually filled with the smell of blood. Outside the Xingqing Palace, from the eaves to the ground, from the white jade brick platform to the Tenglong railing, from the tile wall to the inner city moat, there was a faint smell of blood. dark red.
The blood rain became bigger and bigger, spreading from Xingqing Palace to the entire Chang'an city.
"The imperial conquest—waiting for my imperial conquest—"
The old voice was deafening, but there were not many people gathered around the main hall. Tens of thousands of soldiers from the six armies walked out of the school grounds, staring blankly at the blood flowing on the ground. The servant rushed over quickly, stumbled on the steps, and then slipped down.
Li Heng led all the officials into the palace, and shouted: "Li Jinglong won't see you again! There is no need to come!"
"His Royal Highness, Li Jinglong is unconscious and unable to fight..."
Li Heng stopped for a moment and looked at Gao Lishi behind him. Gao Lishi stepped forward and talked with Li Heng in a low voice, and the rest of the officials showed fear on all faces.
"Report-"
At the last moment before Li Heng entered the hall, the scouts rushed to report, and all the officials panicked. Gao Lishi said angrily, "Who let it in?! It's the other way around! Are there any rules!"
It is reasonable to say that military scouts are never allowed to enter the Xingqing Palace. Frontline intelligence must first be submitted to the Minister of War, and then the Minister of the Ministry of War hastily submit it. However, now that the battle is urgent, Li Heng can no longer care about it. Seeing the detective rushing to kneel before the rainstorm, Gao Lishi immediately drew his sword to protect Li Heng from spies.
"Old General Ge Shuhan led the army to serve the king!" The detective shouted with all his strength, "Just after passing Tongguan, he was flanked by the rebels! The lieutenant general in the battalion rebelled and tied the old general...together...to the horse..."
The moment Li Heng heard this sentence, his world turned upside down, his eyes turned black, and all the officials couldn't believe their ears.
"... handed over, handed over, handed over to the rebels..." the spy said in a trembling voice.
"Report—Deputy Envoy of the Exorcism Department Mo Zhigen brought Kong Hongjun to meet—"
It was too late, Li Heng was dizzy in his mind, and tremblingly said: "How could it be... Old General Ge Shuhan, he... How could it be..."
"Where is the exorcist?!" Gao Lishi asked.
"It has been taken to the main hall..."
At that time, the emperor passed on the message again and again, Mo Zhigen finally couldn't push it anymore, so he had to take Hong Jun to the Xingqing Palace. The two were supposed to go to Jinhualuo, but they were stopped halfway and taken to the Xingqing Palace. In the main hall, His Royal Highness was informed that the matter of retreating troops would be solely in charge of the matter, so Mo Zhigen and Hong Jun hurried through the corridor and entered the main hall.
At that time, the crown prince and the ministers happened to be walking in from outside the hall, Li Heng was in a daze for a while, and the moment he entered the hall, he tripped on the threshold when he lifted his foot, and fell firmly to the ground! At that time, the civil and military officials were out of their minds, but no one responded and came forward to help. Only Hong Jun, who had just entered the hall from the side door, saw something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness!" As he spoke, he strode forward and reached out to help Li Heng. Li Heng stumbled and knelt down towards Hong Jun in an instant. As soon as Hongjun supported him, his knees hadn't touched the ground yet, when all the officials saw this scene, it was as if Li Heng was kneeling before Hongjun, and all of them lost their souls in an instant, and rushed forward in a panic.
Mo Zhigen and Hong Jun couldn't help talking, and they supported Li Heng to the front of the steps, but Li Heng pushed him aside when he was about to go up again, and then Li Heng collapsed in front of the steps.
Gao Lishi hurriedly said: "Let Your Highness rest for a while."
The officials were already terrified, and when they suddenly heard the bad news of Ge Shuhan's capture, they were panicked and dispersed.
"Your Highness." Mo Zhigen said, "I have something to say."
Li Heng raised his eyes and looked at Mo Zhigen. Mo Zhigen was always going straight. When Li Jinglong was trapped in the Dragon Town Pagoda, Li Heng had dealt with this young man a lot, but every time he came from this guy In the mouth, what you hear will not be good news.
"I don't want to listen to you right now." Li Heng leaned on the steps, drenched all over, panting, "Where's Hou Yadan? I want to see him."
The main hall of the Great Xingqing Palace was actually empty, with a few soldiers guarding it outside. In the hall, only Hongjun and Mo Zhigen were guarding the prince. If Mo Zhigen wanted to avenge his mother's village at this moment, Li Heng's life could be ended easily.
But Mo Zhigen also sat down beside Li Heng, and looked out together with him.
"What exactly is Anlu Mountain?" Li Heng asked tremblingly.
"I told you earlier." Mo Zhigen said in a deep voice, "If you were willing to listen to Chang Shi's words back then, why would you be here today?"
Li Heng: "..."
Li Heng still remembered that two years ago, around Concubine Yang's birthday, Li Jinglong insisted on banning Anlu Mountain, cutting off the feudal town, and withdrawing the people from Hebei, planning to make full preparations to fight Anlu Mountain. However, Li Longji and Li Hengju underestimated the seriousness of the situation.
"I was wrong!" Li Heng said helplessly, "I'm wrong, that's all! I admit it! Where's Yadan Hou?! I want to see him!" After arriving, Li Heng almost growled at Mo Zhigen.
"It's too late." Mo Rigen replied coldly.
In the Exorcism Department, Li Jinglong was lying on the couch and suddenly woke up.
"Hong Jun... where... where..." Li Jinglong asked the first sentence after waking up.
Accompanied by the couch was Ashinaqiong. Ashinaqiong was a little at a loss and said, "Changshi? Hongjun and Mo Zhigen enter the palace, I will let..."
Before the words were finished, Li Jinglong closed his eyes again, twitching uncontrollably, Ashina Qiong immediately shouted: "Lu Xu! Lu Xu!"
Lu Xu was woken up after sleeping for a while, and came to the room in a hurry, Ashinaqiong held Li Jinglong's hand tightly, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him?"
Lu Xu stepped forward in an instant, turned his palm sideways, and pressed it on Li Jinglong's forehead, but in an instant Li Jinglong's forehead glowed with white light, and a strong force bounced his hand away.
"Someone is making him dream..." Lu Xu said, "Who is it? This power..."
Lu Xu's heart was beating wildly, and his back felt chills. In terms of dreams, there are very few people in the world who are more powerful than Bailu himself. However, right under his nose, Li Jinglong was immersed in the dream and couldn't break free! I can't even spy on it!
"White Deer is not the only expert in making and reading dreams." A man's voice sounded behind Lu Xu, and Ashina Qiong stood up instantly, but when he was about to throw a throwing knife, the man stretched out his hand to volley, Ashinaqiong Immediately stopped aside. The moment Lu Xu faced the man, he felt a soft but strong force spread out. He was like a newborn baby, almost unable to control himself in the turbulent flow of this grand dream.
The man had long black hair flying, his eyes were covered with black cloth strips, his face was handsome and almost morbidly white, and he was dressed in a black robe.
Lu Xu remembered Hong Jun's previous description.
"You are Kun... God Kun..."
"That's right." Yuan Kun whispered, "This is Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly technique. Now, don't wake him up. Next, half of the spells need your assistance."
In Li Jinglong's deep sleep, his consciousness kept drifting away, and the surrounding scenery changed instantly. When he returned to the Li family's mansion when he was young, he faced the camphor tree above his head with a confused expression, as if some kind of memory disorder had occurred.
"Li Jinglong."
Yuan Kun and Lu Xu stood behind him, and the nine-year-old Li Jinglong turned around, startled instantly.
"You... who are you?"
Lu Xu frowned deeply, and said in a low voice, "Do you remember me?"
Little Li Jinglong: "..."
Little Li Jinglong looked up at the two of them, as if remembering something, but gradually became more confused. He said to himself: "Who am I? Where is this?"
Yuan Kun said slowly: "You often blame yourself for the mistakes you made, wishing you could go back to the past and change the fait accompli. You never wanted to do something for Di Renjie to kill Hong Jun, let alone separate from him. "
Xiao Li Jinglong remembered all the past in an instant, and tremblingly said: "Yes... where is this? Where is Hongjun?"
"Now." Yuan Kun said in a deep voice, "Anlu Mountain has arrived outside Chang'an City, and the demon seed and demon energy will be completely combined. On this day, a new demon will be born."
Xiao Li Jinglong's voice was immature, and with inappropriate maturity and anger, he shouted: "No! I will not let him become a demon! We have come all the way here!"
"So, I'll give you this chance." Yuan Kun interrupted unceremoniously, his tone was very flat and calm, "burn your soul, drive the heart lamp to the extreme, and use this to separate the second Fire seed. Use this fire seed to cast three souls and seven souls for him to replace the devil seed in his body."
The sound of a carriage came from the alley separated by a wall, and the conversation between Kong Xuan and Jia Yuze came. It was the day when the Kong family moved. Yuan Kun said in a deep voice, "Let's begin." Then he turned around with Lu Xu, and disappeared into the hazy light of the summer night dusk. among.
The blood rain covered the sky and the ground, getting bigger and bigger, and the people in the city were panicked.
"Either they all die here." Mo Zhigen said in a deep voice, "or evacuate from this afternoon, and the Exorcist will cut off the rear for you."
Hong Jun said: "We will be back, Your Highness."
After a long silence, Li Heng finally said: "Order to go down and call all civil and military officials to listen to the order outside Jinhualuo."
The golden flowers fall, the ginkgo tree withers and withers, the shadows are heavy, and the soldiers outside are very noisy.
Li Heng led Mo Zhigen and Hong Jun through the corridor to the outside of the Deyu Garden, and saw the guards of the Sixth Army surrounded the inner palace, and the voices of people were full of people. Li Heng shouted: "Bold! Who told you to make a noise here?" ?!"
The soldiers did not dare to disobey the prince, so they had to retreat one after another. Li Heng led the troops for many years, and finally suppressed this group of warriors.
"What do they want to do?" Mo Zhigen said.
Li Heng glanced at the two of them, but did not answer.
"Where are people?" Li Heng went outside Jinhualuo, and saw a few officials and Gao Lishi waiting.
"That's all?" Li Heng trembled.
Gao Lishi said: "Your Majesty wants to conquest in person, Your Highness, this..."
Hong Jun turned to face Jin Hua Luo, and there was still music in the courtyard. Li Guinian was still there, and hadn't left yet. Without waiting for the internal communication, Hong Jun had already stepped in.
"Hongjun?" Yang Guifei said, "Is that you? Kong Hongjun?"
Hong Jun stared blankly at Li Longji who was on the couch in the center of Jinhualuo. Li Longji was wearing a golden armor, sitting facing south, holding the Tianzi sword, and muttering words in his mouth. The helmet was set aside. He was very old, with white hair and black spots on his hands and face.
Mo Zhigen followed and stood behind Hong Jun.
"You're here." Li Longji said, "Li Jinglong."
Hongjun: "..."
Hong Jun looked back at Mo Rigen, and then at Li Longji, feeling vaguely ominous.
"When did this start?" Hong Jun narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Two years ago." Concubine Yang Xuanran said.
"Where's your brother?" Hong Jun couldn't help asking again.
"This matter has nothing to do with him..." Concubine Yang trembled, "Brother is not a monster! Hong Jun! You can't blame him!"
"I know it doesn't matter." Hong Jun replied, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are the way of heaven."
"I'm not old! I'm not old!" Li Longji suddenly became hysterical and roared angrily, "Call the Sixth Army! Follow me to destroy Princess Taiping! The rooster is in the morning! This country! Never allow it to be destroyed by their hands!"
Mo Zhigen also saw that Li Longji was demented.
