That night, the exorcists got drunk and rested, and the mountain wind pierced through the forest, rustling. In the bedroom, Mo Zhigen and Lu Xu were lingering on the ground, while Chen Feng was lying on the couch and fast asleep. Mo Zhigen fumbled around, and just about to go in, Chen Feng suddenly said something in his sleep, and Lu Xu was startled.
"Let's send it back." Mo Zhigen said, "If you wake up in the middle of the night and see a fight, it's not good for the child."
Lu Xu had no choice but to signal Mo Rigen to send him over. Mo Rigen hugged Chen Feng and arrived in front of Li Jinglong's door, "hush", and Li Jinglong came out with his chest bare.
"It's over?" Mo Zhigen said.
Li Jinglong nodded, and Mo Rigen quickly handed the hot potato to Li Jinglong, saying, "It's my turn, don't come here."
Li Jinglong hugged Chen Feng with a smile, Mo Zhigen kicked the door, and rushed back to be gentle with Lu Xu. Hong Jun asked with sleepy eyes, and Li Jinglong put Chen Feng down. Chen Feng fell asleep in a daze, and hugged anyone whenever he saw him, but he didn't let go of Hong Jun. Li Jinglong was full of jealousy, pushed Chen Feng away a little, uncovered the quilt, and lay down to sleep together.
In the middle of the night, Li Jinglong suddenly woke up for no reason.
He opened his eyes, and for some reason, he remembered the scene when Ye Hongjun left him and went to the high cliff, as if something was making low-pitched calls in the distance. Immediately after he got up, he saw bursts of light from the Wisdom Sword.
Li Jinglong: "!!!"
He held the Wisdom Sword in his hand and was facing out of the room. When he was facing a certain direction, the light of the Wisdom Sword increased. Li Jinglong immediately pushed the door and went out. Following the bursts of light, he quickly walked through the corridor to the side hall. Everywhere was desolate, with desks, couch, and gauze curtains scattered all over the floor.
A burst of golden light shot out from the side hall of Huaqing Palace, and Li Jinglong hurriedly pushed the door open, only to be confronted by a statue of Fudo Ming King in the hall!
The last time I came to Huaqing Palace, I didn't find this statue. It must be a bronze casting that Wu Qiyu invited from somewhere after Wu Qiyu's ups and downs to suppress evil spirits. At this moment Fudo Mingwang actually appeared, looking down at Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong was still shirtless and didn't know what to do. After thinking for a while, he knelt down towards King Fudo Ming and placed the Wisdom Sword across his knees.
"Ming Wang... my lord." This is not the first time that Li Jinglong has had a conversation with Fudo Ming Wang, but every time they meet each other in a hurry, they don't know how to address them, so they have to pass them along vaguely.
"King Peacock Daming is no longer sent by the demon seed." Fudoming Wang said, "It is a heavy responsibility to transform the hostility of the common people, and I don't know how to get rid of it from now on. This is your choice, but it will still have a profound impact on future generations. Not to be underestimated."
Li Jinglong pondered for a while, and Fudo Mingwang said again: "The successors of the divine power have never had such an idea like you. This is a move that even I couldn't do in the past."
Li Jinglong didn't know whether King Ming was praising him or blaming him for a while, so he could only reply: "The younger generation is terrified."
"Use the power of your heart lamp to defeat the demon for the time being." King Fudo Ming said again, "But after three hundred and sixty-five days and nights, the demon will be able to repair itself. Li Jinglong, you have one year left."
Li Jinglong: "..."
Li Jinglong said in his heart that he would not let it go, at least let me rest for a few days before telling me the news.
"You must have known the whereabouts of the rest of the weapons." Fudo Mingwang said, "After all, you asked me to distribute the six weapons to the entire Exorcism Division..."
"Yes. Wait..." Through the dream, when he went back to the past, Li Jinglong was indeed the initiator of this proposal, but he didn't know the exact location of where the six organs went!
"Find all six weapons." Fudoming King stretched out his hand, and said again, "Inheriting the Wisdom Sword, one year later, success or failure will depend on this battle. Although you win the first time at this moment, there is still a possibility of falling into the abyss in the future, remember. "
Li Jinglong was shocked when the huge palm of King Fudo Ming was spread out in front of Li Jinglong. In that palm lay a bird covered in fiery red quietly!
"this is… "
"Phoenix Heavenly Venerable will not enter reincarnation, and will be handed over to you temporarily, and the relationship with Peacock Daming Wang Chen will not be over."
Li Jinglong took the three-finger-sized young phoenix, and Fudo Mingwang scattered into gold powder all over the sky, turned into a galaxy and disappeared.
Chufeng lay quietly in Li Jinglong's palm, never opened her eyes, and kept her head buried under her wings.
the next day.
The big ship sets off, enters the Yangtze River through the Jing River waterway, travels south along the road, prepares to pass through Jingzhou, and then enters Shu by water, so that there is no need to cross the ancient Sichuan-Shu Road that is "difficult to go to the blue sky". Li Jinglong found the boatmen who hadn't fled far under Lishan Mountain. The boatmen were still waiting and watching. They wanted to go back to Chang'an to have a look, but Li Jinglong used money to send them to Shu by boat.
And Chongming also came back.
"Ahh—" Everyone was terrified when they saw Chu Feng.
"What a beautiful bird." Chen Feng said, "Huh? Why are you hiding so far away?"
On the boat, with the summer breeze blowing, Chen Feng was going to poke the young phoenix with a chopstick, but was quickly stopped by the crowd, who must not stroke the tiger's head.
"It's my father." Hong Jun put down the scroll in his hand and came to the table. Li Jinglong simply surrounded a nest with his outer robe and put the young phoenix in it. Not eating or drinking, as if in meditation.
"Is your father a bird?" Chen Feng was very curious and asked, "Aren't you an exorcist?"
Hong Jun really couldn't answer this question, but Chen Feng saw it in his eyes for a few days, and he already vaguely had the answer in his heart, so Hong Jun could only smile and said: "Yes...let me see it?"
The old phoenix has disappeared, replaced by this quiet fledgling.
The rest of the people did not dare to tease Phoenix. Firstly, it was Hongjun's adoptive father; secondly, although it has passed through Nirvana, no one knows how powerful it is. Inadvertently provoked it, flapped its wings and flew away. If Hongjun couldn't find him again, he would hate him for a lifetime.
"It's none of my business." Li Jinglong hurriedly said, "Fudo Myoko just asked me to hand it over to you."
Everyone left one after another, leaving the carp demon, Chen Feng and Hong Jun to look at the bird.
Hong Jun stretched out his finger, poked Chu Feng lightly, and said in a low voice, "Hey, Dad."
It can't remember you anymore—Qingxiong's words are still in his ears, but Hong Jun still has a little hope, but Chufeng always ignores him, Hong Jun stares at it blankly, with mixed feelings for a moment, and sadness comes from it.
"Give it a name?" Chen Feng said, "Do you have a name?"
Hong Jun wanted to say that it had a name, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
"No." Hong Jun said, "Call it 'Return'."
"The phoenix returns to its hometown, and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix." Chen Feng said.
Hong Jun was shocked, but after thinking about it, it is not surprising that although Chen Feng's family has fallen, he is also a descendant of the great writer Chen Ziang.
"Yes." Hong Jun laughed and said, "That's what it means, it's still back."
Hong Jun put the return on the side of the couch, and watched it with Chen Feng for a while, but Chufeng was still sleeping, and no one paid attention to it, so Hong Jun decided not to disturb it, leaving Chen Feng to watch the bird curiously.
Li Jinglong sat on the side of the boat, looking at both sides of the river. The big ship had just left Lishan Mountain, and the coast was scorched black. Last night, King Fudo Ming’s warning made him worry again. There is one year left to look for the other three magical artifacts. If he is lucky... Li Jinglong has already I can't believe my luck. It seems that once something is about to turn towards the worst outcome, it must be that ending.
Hong Jun looked for Li Jinglong everywhere, and the sound of Qiu Yongsi playing the piano came from the cabin in the middle of the ship. Li Jinglong glanced at Hong Jun and laughed.
"There is something I want to discuss with you." Li Jinglong signaled Hongjun to come over. As long as Chen Feng was not around, he couldn't help but hug him and let him lean on him. He thought for a while and asked with great interest, "I want to put Chen Feng serves as our son, are you up to it?"
Hong Jun said: "Of course!"
Except for Li Jinglong and Hong Jun, no one in the world can say that they have such a relationship with the Chen family. It seems that the moment they brought the heart lamp, they were destined to raise the descendants of the Chen family. Hong Jun gradually felt that the countless incidents that happened one after another seemed to be destined in the dark.
"Why do you seem to have something on your mind?" Hong Jun observed Li Jinglong and said, "Yes, I say yes."
Hong Jun thought that Li Jinglong was afraid that he would not want to adopt Chen Feng, so after repeated confirmation, Li Jinglong smiled helplessly, and said: "People without long-term concerns must have near-term worries, which is naturally the case."
Hong Jun looked at Li Jinglong suspiciously, and Li Jinglong took his hand and called a meeting of all the exorcists.
Originally, Li Jinglong didn't want to restart the search for the six-armor suggestion so quickly, but if the demon seed is not eliminated for a day, it is always like a sharp sword hanging above his head, and he doesn't know when it will fall. It is much easier to discuss and negotiate now, at least there is no need to avoid Hongjun, and how to hunt and kill Xie prison has nothing to do with Hongjun's life.
Li Jinglong redraws a simple map of the Tang Dynasty, with six symbols, lake, gate, eye, slope, moon, river... Among them, the lake is the sword of wisdom, the gate is the rope that binds the demon under the Dragon Tower, and the moon is the solitary Magus. Shan, the three found have been excluded, and according to the speculation of everyone not long ago, they are basically all matched.
"The rope that binds the demon should belong to Yongsi." Li Jinglong said, "It was taken away by Hongjun, that is to say, Yongsi had to find Hongjun's one."
Mo Zhigen said: "The eclipse bow is at my birthplace."
"That's right." Li Jinglong replied, "Then who is the place where the sword of wisdom is kept in the waterway of Poyang Lake?"
No one was born in Poyang Lake. When asked by Li Jinglong, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.
"I don't care about the Wisdom Sword." Li Jinglong said again, "Tigera, where were you born?"
Artest: "..."
Artest replied: "To be honest, I was born in Luoyang."
Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and Li Jinglong suddenly remembered that the last nominal successor of the Sasanian Dynasty came to the Central Plains to borrow troops from Li Longji, which was the time when Artest was born.
"Later, the father and mother went to fight against the food army, and seeing no luck, they entrusted me to the teacher." Artest explained, "So... I think, Chang Shi, our initial deduction is correct, Longmen In the depths of the mountain ridge, there was indeed a magic weapon once hidden."
This is tricky... The magic weapon is no longer there, who would take it away
"Hongjun! Li Jinglong!" Chen Feng's crisp voice sounded.
"Don't make trouble." Hong Jun said to Chen Feng, "It's a meeting."
Li Jinglong said to Chen Feng, "Call me dad."
Chen Feng was taken aback for a moment, and everyone laughed. Lu Xu said with a sour expression on his face, "Congratulations, you have a son."
Chen Feng was a little nervous, he understood, looked at Hong Jun, and said, "Father..."
"Call me father!" Li Jinglong couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.
"Then what should I call him?" Chen Feng interrupted, and the discussion immediately stopped, but this kid is really smart.
"Call him mother." Li Jinglong said.
Hong Jun corrected decisively: "Call me Daddy!"
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, "Little Daddy" is a curse word in Chang'an, Li Jinglong immediately said: "You can't call that, just call it whatever you want, get out first..."
"Hong Jun! Hong Jun!" The carp demon seemed to have discovered something serious, and rushed in fussing and yelling.
"Don't make noise!" Lu Xu was thinking with his arms crossed.
Mo Rigen said: "It's nothing to do with us. The eclipse bow is also available, and it won't be on Lu Xu. We should go back to the room first..."
"The days are so long!" Li Jinglong couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "What's the rush? It takes half a month to walk by water, and there is plenty of time."
Li Jinglong didn't want to know the whereabouts of the six weapons, and he couldn't feel at ease. At that time, the carp demon rushed in and shouted: "Hongjun! Hongjun!"
Chen Feng also shouted: "Hong Jun! Hong Jun!"
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and Hong Jun was called out with a dizzy head, and said, "Stop arguing!"
Qiu Yongsi said suddenly: "Hey? Brother Long? Do you remember where you were born?"
The carp demon said: "I am a fish egg, and I have no parents. You are stupid, how do you know where you were born?"
Lu Xu screamed: "No way! Do you think it's really it?!"
Carp demon: "Hongjun! Please help me! I..."
The carp demon turned around, raised its tail, and said, "I...why do I feel like I've grown longer?"
Everyone: "..."
Only then did Hong Jun realize that the carp demon seemed a little different.
The carp demon asked nervously: "Did you see it?"
Lu Xu said: "I didn't see it, Zhao Zilong, is it really appropriate for you to show your stuff to everyone?"
The carp demon immediately yelled, and hid behind Hong Jun, the fish's buttocks were all under the tail, the carp demon was nervous for a while, but forgot to hide his embarrassment. Everyone immediately understood: "I didn't see it."
"I didn't see anything..."
Hong Jun said: "Lie on my back and have a look."
Hong Jun often carries the carp demon on his back, which is exactly two feet long, and he has never measured how long it is. The carp demon said: "Two feet and two inches! What do you think now?"
Needless to say, Hongjun also discovered that the carp demon's body seems to have been stretched a bit. It was originally in the shape of a carp, but now that its tail is elongated, it looks more or less like...
"What do you look like?" The carp demon asked nervously, "What do you think I look like?"
"Like a grass carp." Everyone said in unison.
Carp demon: "..."
"Could it be able to transform a dragon?" Hong Jun was very surprised, and the carp demon lay on the table again. Such a fish was honest and unrestrained, with its hands and feet stretched out, and while calling the exorcists to look at his naked body... he said: "Guys, help me take a look!"
Everyone was speechless for a while.
Li Jinglong couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Zhao Zilong, you get out for me!"
"I'll ask God Kun when I see him again." Hong Jun hurriedly promised, "Shouldn't the merits and virtues be accumulated?"
"But I didn't do anything?" said the carp demon, "Have I saved a hundred people?"
Qiu Yongsi said: "Maybe, if we fight this battle, there will be tens of thousands of people. Why don't you go back to the basin and lie down well. If you want to transform a dragon, you need to embrace the yuan and keep the unity, and the heaven and the heart are in harmony. Distracting thoughts, feeling changes in the whole body, waiting for the appearance of the dragon horn, and later, if there is any movement, call us to seal you together, how about it?"
The carp demon quickly answered yes, Qiu Yongsi often dealt with dragons, so the carp demon believed in his words, so he ran away again.
The carp demon was successfully dismissed, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer having to be dizzy from being quarreled. Li Jinglong said: "Then let's continue..."
Before finishing a sentence, Chen Feng said again: "Hong Jun! It's my turn!"
Li Jinglong: "..."
It was the first time Li Jinglong became a father at such a young age. He originally wanted Chen Feng to be quiet, but after thinking about it, a father must study hard, and teaching and learning can help each other, so he had to temporarily suppress it. Hong Jun asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"Look." Chen Feng took out the phoenix from his bosom, and everyone was shocked when they saw his action, because Chen Feng's "take out" was like catching a chicken, directly holding the two wings of the phoenix, stiffly pulled out.
"Don't!" Hong Jun was almost scared to pee, if Chongming was carried around like this before, he was afraid that the city of Chang'an would be burned down with a mouthful of flames.
"I opened my eyes when I came back! I also paid attention to me!" Chen Feng said.
Surprisingly, Chen Feng put Chu Feng on the table, its sharp eyes swept over everyone, and then turned to Chen Feng indifferently.
"How did you make it open its eyes?" Hong Jun asked in surprise.
Chen Fenglian said that with a gesture, he picked leaves from the bow of a pot and planned to feed them back, but the divine bird was not interested in the leaves, and instead pecked the dewdrops on the leaves, then opened his eyes and took a look. Chen Feng. Next, no matter how Chen Feng tossed it, he was not angry when he came back.
Hong Jun said: "I understand, it is a little thirsty, and I have to find food for it."
Ashamed to say, Hong Jun didn't think of how to serve the Phoenix for a while, Qiu Yongsi said again: "Feng'er, it has just hatched not long ago, you have to get on the couch and hold it, so that you feel like you are in the nest." , after a long time, it will recognize your scent and regard you as its friend."
Chen Feng nodded, and Qiu Yongsi said, "Hold it for two hours, don't move."
Chen Feng said: "Then I will go."
So Chen Feng also left.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, only Qiu Yongsi is good at deceiving children and carp, otherwise, if they get quarreled, they don't have to do anything today.
