Qingxiong casually grabbed Hongjun from his back, dragged him down, tickled him a few times, Hongjun burst into laughter, Qingxiong ordered him to stand still, and asked, "Are you in trouble again?"
Hong Jun had dust all over his hands just now, and now he wiped Qingxiong's face, seeing him being funny, he just pointed at him and couldn't help laughing. Qingxiong was puzzled, and Hong Jun explained it to him vividly. Qingxiong couldn't help laughing when he learned that Chongming had lost his composure.
The two laughed for a while, and Hong Jun said seriously: "What did you bring me when you came back? Give it to me!"
Qingxiong replied: "No."
Hong Jun didn't believe it, so he went up to touch Qingxiong's body. Qingxiong was always shirtless, and only his trouser pockets could hold things. Hongjun didn't give up trying to dig it out, so Qingxiong replied solemnly: "No."
"No books, no food." Hong Jun's face turned foul.
Qingxiong smiled and said, "Have you finished reading the few legends I sent you last time?"
Hong Jun replied: "It's broken."
Seeing Hongjun's disappointed face, Qingxiong couldn't help but want to tease him, and asked, "Where's your Zhao Zilong?"
"It's here." Hong Jun shouted, and the carp demon hopped over. Five years ago, he accidentally found this half-human carp that had failed to become a spirit in the Taihang Mountains. raised up. Later, Qingxiong brought him some human legends of heroes of the Three Kingdoms, and Hongjun named the carp monster "Zhao Zilong" on the impulse of his heart. And it is claimed that it is going to jump the dragon gate and transform into a golden dragon.
Qingxiong pulled out something again like a conjuring, holding a chain between his fingers, and a treasure dangled from the chain, dangling for Hong Jun to see.
"What is this?!" Hong Jun was surprised.
I saw that the thing was extremely small, it was a pendant tied on a gold chain, the pendant was made of gold and stone, surrounded by many mechanisms, there was a very small crystal ball in it, and the warm white light was faintly visible in the ball, like a lamp. When Qingxiong handed out the pendant, the courtyard also lit up, and the brilliance was no less than the scorching sun in the sky.
"I'll leave it to you for safekeeping first." Qingxiong put the pendant in Hongjun's hand, bypassing the gold chain, and said with a smile, "I dare not teach you how to play treasure casually, and make me scolded by your father."
Hong Jun got this exquisite gadget, and immediately wanted to hold it to study it, so he nodded, and Qingxiong warned again: "Don't break it, this crystal is very brittle, and I will tell you how to use it later."
Hong Jun hurriedly responded, holding the necklace and leaving.
"Sixteen years old."
When Qingxiong walked into the side hall, Chongming was drinking tea, so Qingxiong knelt down before the desk and glanced at Chongming.
"I got into trouble again today, and I was severely punished." Chongming replied indifferently.
Qingxiong replied: "Young man, he always likes to make troubles. Back then, you and Kong Xuan also often made troubles."
Chongming raised his eyebrows and said, "He's not ready yet."
Qingxiong replied: "I received this letter last night. It was sent by the Human Exorcism Division. It is less than four years before the demons appear in the world. The letter is calling for young talents to return to Chang'an. According to my guess, they should It was prepared for the Heavenly Demon to appear in this world four years later..."
Qingxiong handed Chongming a letter, but Chongming didn't even read it, he rubbed his fingers together, a ball of flames shot out from his fingers, towards the letter, Qingxiong didn't want to burn it, so he took it back.
"Chongming, in today's world, the monster clan is rampant, and the talents of the Tang Dynasty are withering. It's too late."
Chongming turned his head and looked directly into Qingxiong's eyes, and said word by word: "Don't forget, we are also monster clan."
"Do you still remember?" Qingxiong said, "I thought you had forgotten long ago, Your Majesty the Demon King."
Chongming exuded a powerful aura in an instant, as if a flame was burning in his body, his brows were deeply furrowed, and he looked directly at Qingxiong with anger.
In the study, Hong Jun first pried it with two flying knives, then cut it with a pair of scissors, but couldn't remove the mechanism outside the pendant, and finally hit it with a hammer, sweating profusely, but couldn't remove the small pendant inside the pendant. Crystal out.
"Ahh—" Hong Jun took a bronze bottle and just wanted to throw it on it.
"Why did you fight with it?" The carp demon asked from the side, "His Royal Highness Qingxiong told you not to break it."
"I just want to remove it." Hong Jun said, "Put it on my knife handle."
"The light here must be something unusual." The carp demon climbed onto the table, stepped on a book, and lay down on his stomach, the fish eyes reflecting the blazing light in the pendant.
"There is a circle of spells outside." Hong Jun looked at it carefully, "What exactly is it? The one who sealed it? This light looks so comfortable."
"Just looking at it makes me feel warm." The carp demon said, "I feel much better too."
Hong Jun took the pendant and said, "Ask Qingxiong."
"You haven't finished standing for punishment!" The carp demon reminded, Hong Jun had already left happily with the pendant in his pocket.
The setting sun is like blood. Turning around the mountains, birdsong bursts from among the mountains in the sunset.
When Hong Jun came to the side hall, he suddenly heard the sound of fierce disputes in the hall, he was startled, and hid behind the pillars.
"The black flood dragon is not in the right position, he will never be the demon king! The reptiles in the gutter are also worthy?!"
"But we were defeated. This is an indisputable fact!" Qingxiong said in a deep voice, "Unless he returns to the human world and completely destroys him, the demon will be revived and lead the demon clan, and the human world will be devastated!"
"What does the loss of life have to do with me?!" Chongming shouted, "The human race is ungrateful and ungrateful! They took away the third child and threw him and a human son to me for twelve years! Why should I raise him? An orphan with half human blood?!"
"That's also Kong Xuan's child!" Qingxiong's voice was low, full of reproach, "When Kong Xuan left, didn't you have any regrets?!"
"What regrets do I have?!" Chongming almost roared, "If that person didn't kill Kong Xuan, would Hongjun be a child without a father or mother now?!"
"There are people who are ungrateful and ungrateful in the human race, but they also have friends like Di Renjie."
"Friend?!" Chongming sneered, "He won't do anything for the human race! Never!"
Qingxiong's voice trembled: "Kong Xuan is one body of god and demon. Hongjun inherited his five-color divine light. He can eradicate the black flood dragon for the demon clan, avenge his father, and destroy the revived demon. What's more, if you He will stay here for the rest of his life, and sooner or later, he will know the truth!"
"The day I left the Central Plains." Chongming said in a deep voice, "I have already said that I don't care about whether the demon race is dead or alive, Heavenly Demon? I just hope that Heavenly Demon will come back to life as soon as possible, and kill all these damned human races!"
"Can't you be honest?! Chongming!" Qingxiong stepped forward suddenly, his aura spread out, and the hall was filled with a dangerous aura in an instant. Shock.
Suddenly footsteps came from outside the door, Qingxiong and Chongming at the same time withdrew their momentum and turned their heads suddenly.
Qingxiong chased after a few steps, but what he saw was Hongjun's back.
"When Kong Xuan left, if you could keep him with even one sentence, how could it be the case today?" Qingxiong sighed, "The last sentence you left him was just the word 'get lost'. Heaven and man are separated forever."
After finishing speaking, Qingxiong strode away from the side hall, leaving Chongming alone to face the twilight outside the door, quietly lost in thought.
At night, the sky is full of stars, and the Milky Way on the top of Taihang Mountain is like a waterfall.
The sound of footsteps came from far to near, but Hong Jun just remained motionless, lying on a flat rock on Sheshen Cliff. The rock is tilted towards the front of the cliff. If you are not careful, you will slide down the abyss at any time.
Qingxiong climbed up and lay down next to Hongjun. The two were silently lost in thought, looking at the brilliant night sky and the galaxy.
"Is it true?" Hong Jun asked suddenly.
"Is it true or not? You already have the answer in your heart." Qingxiong replied.
Hong Jun couldn't help panting, but Qingxiong raised his hand across his face, covering his eyes, Hong Jun grabbed Qingxiong's hand, and wiped away his tears on his hand.
"Does dad hate me?" Hong Jun choked up.
"What he says and what he thinks in his heart are often two different things." Qingxiong said in a daze, "Don't blame him for what he said. If he really doesn't want to, no one in the world can force him. Let me hand over to you today." Is yours still on you?"
Hong Jun trembled and took out the pendant.
"Don't you want to go to the world?" Qingxiong took the pendant, and the soft light in the pendant immediately illuminated half of the mountain top, reflecting the starlight in the sky, and Hong Jun gradually calmed down under the light.
"Arguing, every time I come, you want me to take you to the world, now you have grown up." Qingxiong said again, "I said, here, go, why are you afraid?"
Hong Jun was overjoyed at first, then thought of Chongming, his expression turned sad again, and he looked at Qingxiong blankly.
Facing the shining light in the pendant, Qingxiong murmured: "In the world, there are a lot of things to eat and things to play with, there are beautiful girls, there are partners who drink with them, there is music that spreads for thousands of miles, and there are people who are not extinguished day and night. Deng Huo, go, go to the world of mortals, you won't regret it."
The next day, the side hall was cleaned up.
Hong Jun walked into the side hall, and the original three thrones were moved to the side hall, with Chongming in the middle and Qingxiong on the left. Chong Ming's expression was as indifferent as ever, so Hong Jun called "Father" and stood in the corner in an orderly manner.
"I'm not your father." On the throne, Chong Ming's voice seemed to have no emotion.
Hong Jun stood on the ground, a little embarrassed, and he replied to Chongming: "You are, you are my father." However, Chongming moved his eyes away and landed on the third empty throne.
"Your father's name is 'Kong Xuan'." Chongming said in a deep voice, "Just like me and Qingxiong, he is the Lord of Yaojin Palace. You asked me who is sitting on the remaining chair. Now I can answer you."
"This chair used to be your own father. After your father died, Qingxiong carried you back to Yaojin Palace. Now that you have grown up, you should go back."
"Where are you going?" Hong Jun asked.
"Where did you come from, and where do you go back?" Chong Ming said calmly.
"I'm from here." Hong Jun said again, "I'm not going anywhere."
