"Give me that powder." Hong Jun whispered.
Lu Xu brought the medicine powder, and Hong Jun used the stove in the temple to roast the pills. Ashina Qiong had found the medicine hidden in the hidden compartment in the temple earlier. Hong Jun tried a little and found that the medicine had miraculous effects. It is the embers left after the burning divine fire that never goes out in front of the altar.
"You don't want to go back alone." Lu Xu said suddenly.
When Hong Jun was dispensing medicine for Artest who was in a coma, he suddenly stopped when he heard this.
"The big wolf said it." Lu Xu said without waiting for Hong Jun to ask, and then sat down beside him.
Hong Jun mixed the medicine powder with a little water, and gently applied the medicine on Artest's face. During the torture, his face was scratched a lot, and his face, which was more beautiful than a girl's, was almost completely destroyed. up.
But he is confident that Arteji will come back.
"The reason for all this." Hong Jun said to himself, "They don't believe me, and the Exorcist intervenes in the demon clan, so it is difficult to help me solve the problem."
Lu Xu said: "Li Jinglong has been very careful, and has been reminding us from the beginning, lest the Yaozu have any objections."
In fact, before Hong Jun took over the position of Demon King from Chongming, Li Jinglong repeated his orders. They were all human races, and as exorcists, they were enemies of the Yao tribe no matter what. Even if the two sides have the same purpose in resisting the demon, it still cannot change this reality.
Once the exorcist influences Hongjun too much, his identity as the demon king will definitely be shaken, and the monsters will also be suspicious of Hongjun, thinking that as their king, he is too close to the human race. Even when the monsters discovered that Li Jinglong was able to give orders to Hongjun, the prestige of the monster king would definitely be damaged.
"So this time I have to solve it myself." Hong Jun said, "No one can help me."
"I'm a demon." Lu Xu said, "So is the big wolf."
"This is different." Hong Jun looked at Lu Xu and said, "I can no longer rely on you."
Lu Xu said: "Then tell me, how do you want to solve it?"
Hong Jun was silent.
Lu Xu said again: "You want to kill Qingxiong?"
Hong Jun was still silent, and finally said softly: "I... I don't know, I'm very confused, Lu Xu." He frowned deeply, and when he looked at Lu Xu, his eyes were full of sadness: "I know that at this moment, I should have my own ideas, like you guys, like Chang Shi, come up with my own ideas. I should subdue Qingxiong, right? But sometimes even I don’t have confidence in myself..." He sighed, He said again: "I didn't even think about it myself. The reason for going back is just to ask him why."
Lu Xu looked at Hongjun quietly.
"I can't make a decision for you." Lu Xu finally said, "But everyone in the Exorcism Department is willing to accompany you back."
"It seems that you are in a lot of trouble." Artest said suddenly, startling both Hong Jun and Lu Xu. Artest was about to get up, but showed a painful expression. The two hurriedly stepped forward to check Artest body of.
Instead, Artest stretched hard, and yelled "Ah, ah!" a few times.
"How?" Hong Jun said, "You were beaten to pieces."
Lu Xu said: "Don't move! The wound will open again later."
"It's like having a very long dream." Artest's face was full of wounds, and when he turned his head to look at Hong Jun, there was a smile in his eyes, "But finally I'm alive to see you again."
Both Hong Jun and Lu Xu laughed, and Lu Xu said, "I'll call them, that's great, you're finally awake."
After Lu Xu left, Artest said, "Hongjun, who bullied you?"
Artest's waking up made Hongjun feel a lot better. He smiled and said, "You should worry about yourself first."
"You didn't touch me while I was sleeping, did you?" Artest said, "Be careful when your sister-in-law beats you."
"Am I like this person!" Hong Jun said frantically.
Artest laughed haha, but when he laughed, his whole body ached, he grinned and said, "I'm ugly, right?"
"It's okay." Hong Jun patted Artest's head and said, "You will be as handsome as before."
Artai looked at Hong Jun thoughtfully. Hong Jun knew that he had woken up a long time ago. After hearing his conversation with Lu Xu, he just kept silent. With his intelligence, he must have guessed what happened.
Hong Jun still couldn't help sighing slightly.
"When I was confused," Artest said, "I always thought about what my father would do if he was still alive."
Hongjun: "..."
Artest said: "Although I don't know how difficult the situation you are facing, I think maybe you will make the same choice as your father."
This sentence seemed to be knocked into Hong Jun's mind in an instant, which made him sober up a lot.
"You're right." Hong Jun said.
"Although I am very willful." Artest said slowly, "I have caused a lot of trouble for everyone... I am very sorry... I think I did the same thing as my father."
Hong Jun knew what Artest meant, that he carried out the unplanned part. Originally, Li Jinglong's purpose was to return to Taluosi and find the Great Sun Golden Wheel, but Artest hoped to find an opportunity to ignite the divine fire in front of the altar, so he underestimated the enemy and was arrested.
If it were Artest's father Yisiai back then, he would definitely do the same.
Hong Jun couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by what you said in front of the altar?"
"Ah." Artest said easily, "I said, I gave up. The people of Zoroaster abandoned us, abandoned the sacred fire, abandoned the glory of Cyrus the Great and the Isai family. So the holy fire Will be extinguished, but the gods are still in the world... "
"You..." Hong Jun never expected that Artest would give up this idea in front of the altar in the end.
"But the flame will last forever." Artest said in a trance, "It will ignite in another corner of the world, and it will never go out even after thousands of years."
As he said that, he looked into Hongjun's eyes, and said again: "When I came back with Joan, I had already figured it out. Instead of pinning my hopes on the people who no longer believe in Shenhuo, it is better to find our believers and take them away. ,rebuild home."
Hong Jun said: "I thought about it too, it's just..."
"That will be a very long and difficult process." Artai took Hongjun's hand, pressed it on his chest, and said, "You need to know what you are living in this world for, and what you can give to your followers. What, good, bad; happiness, troubles; life, or death. Only if your belief is strong enough, can you become their sustenance, and the flame can last forever."
Artest let go of his hand, looking at Hongjun with encouragement in his eyes.
At this time, Li Jinglong, Qiu Yongsi and others walked in quickly. Qiu Yongsi laughed a few times and pressed on Artest. Artest hurriedly shouted: "I am a wounded soldier!"
"Me too." Qiu Yongsi lay down involuntarily. Artest was almost squeezed to death by the burly Qiu Yongsi, while Li Jinglong and Mo Zhigen stood aside and laughed. Hong Jun's smile gradually faded, and he still couldn't help thinking about Artest's words.
On the third day of lingering in the temple, Artest's body was covered with medicine, and he was able to hold a bowl of mutton soup by himself. When Li Jinglong told him the news of Ashinaqiong's departure, Artai just nodded.
"We discussed it." Artest said.
Mo Zhigen said: "What about the Great Sun Golden Wheel?"
Artest said: "Come and try when I recover, if it doesn't work, take it back to Luoyang."
Li Jinglong felt relieved, and said: "Then, let's set off tomorrow morning and return to Chengdu. Now Baghdad must have issued an order to search for your whereabouts."
Hong Jun pondered for a moment, then nodded.
In the middle of the night, Li Jinglong and Qiu Yongsi were still discussing the future, Hong Jun returned to the room and slept with Chen Feng.
"Mother." Chen Feng hugged Hongjun and said.
Hong Jun glanced at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng said: "I have something that I have been keeping from you, don't be angry..."
Hong Jun: "???"
Hong Jun sat up, the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "What's wrong?"
Chen Feng was already a little sleepy, but he sat on the couch towards Hongjun, and said timidly: "Actually...in the cave...Uncle Chaoyun... um..."
Thinking of Chaoyun, Hong Jun frowned.
"What happened to him?" Hong Jun said.
"He almost died." Chen Feng said, "But Zhao Zilong saved him. Don't worry, it's fine."
Hongjun: "!!!"
Chen Fengdao: "Father told me not to tell you..."
Hong Jun fell into an abyss instantly, tremblingly said: "Why?"
Chen Feng said: "Because they heard things they shouldn't have heard."
Hong Jun said: "What are you talking about?"
Chen Feng: "What the blind uncle said."
Hongjun: "..."
Li Jinglong and Qiu Yongsi sat in the temple, with the Great Sun Golden Wheel, Demon Subduing Pestle, Wisdom Sword, and Moon Eclipse Bow on the table. There was also a demon-binding rope that was used to bind the Hanba.
"One thing is missing." Qiu Yongsi said, "That's all."
Li Jinglong didn't expect that he had worked so hard. At this moment, he believed that he could find the six weapons, but he never imagined this process.
"This last scene won't be too easy." Li Jinglong tapped lightly on the desk a few times.
Qiu Yongsi said: "It's expected that the demons will be calmed down. What I'm worried about is the demon clan."
Li Jinglong remained silent.
Under the moonlight, the night sky was clean, Yuzhou stretched himself, and walked in from the courtyard.
"Zhao Zilong." Mo Zhigen said from behind the wall, "Where is Chang Shi?"
Yuzhou: "In the hall, the door is closed."
After counting interest.
Mo Zhigen: "..."
Yuzhou: "..."
Yuzhou stood there in a daze, as if petrified, Mo Zhigen showed a strange expression, and said in disbelief: "It really is you?!"
Yuzhou stepped back half a step, his previous calm expression disappeared instantly, and panic appeared in his eyes, and he said, "I, I, I..."
Mo Zhigen hurried over to grab Yuzhou's collar, but Yuzhou stepped back in a hurry and said, "Listen to my explanation!"
"How did you become like this?!" Mo Zhigen said angrily, "Why are you lying?! Zhao Zilong! I thought it was someone!"
Yuzhou kept backing away, at a loss what to do, and said: "I, I have cultivated this appearance with great difficulty, don't do anything, you have something to say!"
"Don't hit him!" Chen Feng's voice came, he ran to the courtyard, turned around to block Yuzhou behind him, Mo Zhigen said impatiently: "Feng'er, get out of the way."
"No!" Chen Feng refused to budge, saying, "You are not a good person!"
"I'm not a good person?!" Mo Zhigen almost vomited blood from Chen Feng's anger. On weekdays, Chen Feng disliked Mo Zhigen the most, because Mo Zhigen always had a straight face, but Mo Zhigen brought up several younger brothers , although he was serious, he also took good care of Chen Feng. When he heard this, Mo Zhigen almost cried out of anger.
"I just think that you... all of you... don't like me, I think..." Yuzhou stammered, "Anyway, I have become a human being, and all the past things will be wiped out... Re-becoming a human being, isn't that right?"
When he said this, Mo Zhigen suddenly felt the sadness in Yuzhou's tone, and then he thought about it, Zhao Zilong cultivated as a human being, and it was his freedom to tell them or not, and he had no position to criticize him. It's just that the shape is so different that Mo Zhigen can't accept it for a while.
"What are you now?" Mo Zhigen asked.
"Fish." Yuzhou replied, "What else could it be? Chaoyun and I shared half of the Bashe Neidan, and Chaoyun... well, forget it."
Chen Feng said to Yuzhou: "I told my father."
"That's right." Yuzhou relaxed and replied, "Then I won't talk too much."
The corner of Mo Zhigen's mouth twitched, he looked at Yuzhou, and said, "You have become a human, so..."
Yuzhou said cautiously, "So what?"
"It's nothing." Mo Ri was suspicious at all, and finally tried according to Li Jinglong's words, and found out that Yuzhou's identity was actually the glib Zhao Zilong. This really subverted his cognition, and he had to digest this explosive Information, before he turned and left, he said: "You must not make Lu Xu's idea."
Yuzhou: "?"
"Whose idea is it?" Yuzhou asked tentatively.
Mo Zhigen has already left.
Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at Chen Feng, squatted down, obviously a little disappointed, and said, "Sure enough, everyone still doesn't like me."
Chen Feng patted Yuzhou's head and said, "My mother won't do it."
At this moment, a faint quarrel came from the other side of the temple, and the two turned their heads at the same time.
Hong Jun packed his things and was about to go out when Li Jinglong hurried back outside the bedroom, blocking his way.
Li Jinglong: "Where are you going?"
Hong Jun: "You know."
Li Jinglong said: "Yongsi and I have already discussed, and everyone will accompany you back. Why rush at this moment?"
Hong Jun said: "No, this time, I can no longer let you accompany me. This is something I have to face myself."
"Hongjun!" Li Jinglong said angrily, "We have an agreement, no matter what, we must solve it together!"
"You already knew everything!" Hong Jun raised his voice a little, "But you still didn't tell me!"
Li Jinglong replied: "There is no need for this!"
Hong Jun was carrying a simple package and stood face to face with Li Jinglong. Hong Jun said: "Feng'er told you, Chao Yun and Zhao Zilong heard the secret conversation between Yuan Kun and Qingxiong, Chao Yun was almost silenced, Zhao Zilong took it Let Feng'er go north to find us, don't you?"
"What's the use of you going back?" Li Jinglong said patiently, "Listen to me, Hongjun. The monster clan is not what you think. Think about it carefully, if Qingxiong can really control the entire monster clan, why bother? Ghost King and Fox The king is still facing you, so King Kun had no choice but to set up this trap with Qingxiong."
Hong Jun said calmly: "So? It's very simple to solve the division of the monster clan. You make the decision for me. Let the exorcist do it and subdue King Kun and King Dapeng, right?"
Li Jinglong was at a loss for words, and his brows were slightly wrinkled.
"My father is a demon, and my mother is a human being." Hong Jun said, "I am nothing but myself."
He looked up at Li Jinglong, and then said: "Whether I help you or Qingxiong, it is against my heart. I know that for you, the Yaozu is very dangerous..."
"That's not what I meant..." Li Jinglong said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Lu Xu stood quietly on the roof, Mo Zhigen squatted at the end of the courtyard wall, Qiu Yongsi hid in the dark, Artest leaned behind the wall, listening to Hong Jun's words.
