"Why did you do this?" Hong Jun couldn't help but asked.
The King of Ghosts led him to a secluded alley, and dismounted from his horse. Along the way, they skillfully avoided all the birds. They either hovered high above the alley, or squatted on the broken eaves. , Raw meat disrupted their patrol routes, and wherever the ghost king rode his horse was their blind spot for surveillance.
The ghost king looked back at Hong Jun.
"Go in from here." The ghost king signaled Hong Jun to get into the hole under the wall. Hong Jun entered shortly, and the ghost king was tall and his shoulders were stuck, so he had to pass sideways.
"Tell me." After getting out of the hole, the Ghost King looked around and said casually, "Am I a demon, or a human?"
Hong Jun understood when he heard this, and he couldn't help laughing.
The ghost king looked for the way around and said to himself: "How many midnight dreams come back, I still dream of the past when I was a human."
"I think Yuzaoyun is the same." Hong Jun was led around the palace by the ghost king, and said, "Where are you going?"
"Yanqing Hall." Ghost King replied, "There are too many birds here, so it's hard to avoid the road."
"Follow me." Hong Jun said, "I've been here before."
Change Hongjun to lead the way. After entering the deep palace of Mingtang, Hongjun recognized the route, familiarized himself with the road, turned over to the top of the hall, and the ghost king immediately said: "Come down! You will be seen by the birds!"
Hong Jun insisted, beckoning to the ghost king, the ghost king had no choice but to flip up, and then Hong Jun flipped up again, going up three floors in a row, bowed down on the eaves, and signaled the ghost king to look down. Now that they were in a higher position, the birds were concentrated on the roof area of the first and second floors. Hong Jun tiptoed and lurked over the heads of a large flock of hawks.
"The road you chose may not be smooth, but it is right." Ghost King said in a deep voice.
Hong Jun looked at the ghost king when he turned his head, and looked at him for a moment.
"Why?" Hong Jun asked softly.
"Have you ever thought about why the monster race always turns into a human being after practicing the Tao?" Ghost King asked back.
When Hong Jun was about to speak, the Ghost King patted him on the shoulder and pointed to a high place, where several circling goshawks appeared, Hong Jun nodded to avoid it. Outside the Yanqing Hall, there is a three-story palace building, far away from the center of the Ming Hall. It was not destroyed by the energy released by the earth. Behind the Yanqing Hall is the high platform where Anlu Mountain used to be. Destroyed by a battle where Li Jinglong descended from the spirit.
At this moment, the monsters are repairing the high platform, the flying birds come and go with white marble gravel in their mouths, Qingxiong stands in the center of the high platform, mana radiates from his feet, and the cracks in the reassembled high platform slowly heal.
Hong Jun and the ghost king landed behind the Yanqing Palace, the ghost king held the iron chain for Hong Jun, and bowed towards the sacrificial roof.
"Everything in the world." The ghost king said, "There are countless birds and beasts, and the monster race has cultivated Taoism. Why don't they turn into powerful tigers and leopards, and eagles and falcons as fast as lightning, but only wish to turn into weak, limbs?" A clumsy person?"
At that time, the two were leaning sideways under the altar and heard the voice from the altar.
"Because man is the spirit of all things." Hong Jun replied in a low voice.
"Why is man the spirit of all things?" Ghost King asked again.
Hong Jun couldn't answer this question, do humans have wisdom? There are also foxes, and many monsters are more cunning than humans. Do people sacrifice themselves? This is something that even mice can do. It is only natural for birds to feed their children... What is the difference between humans and monsters
What are you doing here? Hong Jun thought to himself, but the ghost king just leaned against the altar and sat in a hidden place with his legs spread. At the next moment, the sound of iron chains sounded, and the intention was self-evident—Yu Zaoyun made Du Han Qingchao Qingxiong unfold according to the plan. test.
In an instant, Hongjun became tense, like a taut string, Du Hanqing pretended to be him, but the Thousand Machine Chain is fake, and so are the people, Qingxiong can read minds, he can see everything at a glance! What's more, Du Hanqing's purpose is to make a fool of himself! Once Qingxiong is alerted to the inside story about Qianji Chain, the consequences will be disastrous.
"What we want is to catch people by surprise, to catch them by surprise." Yu Zaoyun's voice whispered beside him.
Hong Jun turned his head suddenly, and Yu Zaoyun came to Hong Jun's side under the cover of the bushes, and whispered: "I wanted to make a fool of myself, but then I thought it was wrong. You know the golden-winged roc best, so you still need to be present."
Hong Jun whispered: "In case of failure, Du Hanqing will be in danger!"
"It won't fail." Yuzao Yun said, "He has met your lover, as long as he concentrates and only thinks about Li Jinglong, Qingxiong should not notice it. If things come to light, let's run away immediately."
Hong Jun turned his head sideways, looking at the high place from the hiding place under the altar.
Ghost King said: "This is indeed dangerous, don't forget Yuan Kun."
"Yuan Kun's attention is now on the exorcists, not to mention that the injury has affected his mana." Yu Zaoyun casually licked his paw, and said casually, "I guess he has no time to take care of Qingxiong."
With the sound of trivial iron chains, Du Hanqing was obviously very weak and staggered up the stairs. According to the situation of "Hongjun", Qingxiong neither gave him water nor food, and sealed his mana with a chain of thousands of machines. This is already the fifth day. Du Hanqing needed to take this opportunity to use Qingxiong's words to try to untie the chains on Hongjun.
Standing in the center of the altar, Qingxiong cast a meaningful glance at "Hongjun". With disheveled hair, Du Hanqing slightly raised his head and looked at Qingxiong.
"It's too difficult." Hong Jun frowned and whispered.
It is extremely difficult to pretend to be yourself in front of Qingxiong, to avoid being discovered by his mind-reading skills, let alone routine.
"It's not difficult." Yu Zaoyun said, "People's hearts can also be faked. There are strong players among the strong, and there are even higher mountains. In this world, there is naturally someone who can control him. I think you are in love with your brother. It's the nemesis of these two guys."
Hong Jun: "???"
This sentence made him guess that Yuzaoyun must have reached a certain plan with Li Jinglong, Qiu Yongsi and others last night.
"I promise you." "Hong Jun" in front of the altar stared at Qingxiong, and said calmly, "Let Jing Long go."
"Promise me?" Qingxiong laughed instead, and walked towards Du Hanqing. At that moment, Hongjun under the altar raised his heart in his throat.
Du Hanqing's disguise was so perfect that when he glanced sideways at Qingxiong, his eyes looked like Hongjun.
"What do you want to sacrifice?" Qingxiong said in a low voice with sadness in his eyes, "That's what you told me that year... as long as Silk Star and Yu Ze can survive, you can do anything."
A hint of surprise appeared in Du Hanqing's eyes at the right time, and Qingxiong looked at him like he was looking at a statue.
"Do you like that human being so much?" Qingxiong whispered, "I can't read in your heart any guilt, self-blame, or protection of... the monster race. At this moment, your heart is completely , only that hideous human!"
Immediately afterwards, Qingxiong slapped "Hong Jun" fiercely on the face, and knocked Du Hanqing to the ground. "Hong Jun" was extremely weak, lying on his side on the ground, twitching uncontrollably, bleeding from the corner of his mouth. That slap hit Du Hanqing's head, while Hong Jun under the altar looked at him from a distance, but it seemed to slap him in his soul.
Du Hanqing struggled on the ground, trying to get up, but lost strength in his hands and feet and refused to listen. The chain of thousand machines rubbed against the ground of the altar, making constant noises. He tilted his head with difficulty and glanced at Qingxiong.
"It can't be untied." Qingxiong said slowly, "Don't think about it, once the thousand machine chain is buckled, it can't be untied."
Hong Jun was shocked. At this moment, he could almost guess what Du Hanqing was thinking—if he could break free from this chain, he would use his last bit of strength to die with Qingxiong.
Du Hanqing said intermittently: "I... I..."
Qingxiong turned around, walked towards the center of the altar, and replied: "Lengdeng locked me with this chain for five hundred years in the past, and the only person in the world who can break it happens to be here."
Du Hanqing's face was pale, his eyes were empty, and he just lay there quietly.
"That's right." Qingxiong murmured, "It's you, Hongjun. Li Jinglong can't untie it, because the thousand machine chain is not a magic weapon for burning lamps..."
Hongjun: "..."
Yu Zaoyun looked dignified, and the Ghost King frowned deeply. He raised his hand and lowered it slowly, with the purpose of holding Hong Jun's shoulder.
The question that Hong Jun was most concerned about was about to be answered. He listened intently to the conversation from the altar, and at this moment, two figures turned around behind the Yanqing Hall. Those are Artest and Li Jinglong!
"The only magic weapon in the world that can break this chain is the one handed down by Kong Xuan, the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife in your hand." Qingxiong said, "The Flying Knife is master-recognizing, without magic power, no one can drive it. In other words, the only person who can break the chain is you. And once you are bound by the chain of thousands of machines, you will lose all your mana."
Du Hanqing couldn't help trembling, raised his head, Qingxiong murmured: "So, once the box with the key is locked by this lock, the lock will never be opened."
Du Hanqing tremblingly said: "You have been..."
Qingxiong murmured: "You confessed too late, my little nephew."
Under the altar, Hong Jun slowly shed a tear from the corner of his eye, and the dead ghost king's hand was still in the air, and he hadn't pressed it for a long time.
"Take it down." Qingxiong finally said three words.
His subordinates were about to come forward, but at this moment Kun God dressed in black appeared under the altar, Yu Zaoyun and the ghost king froze at the same time, Hong Jun immediately turned his head, and Kun God walked straight away from less than twenty steps away from the three of them. Walk through and climb up the stairs.
"Oops." Yuzaoyun murmured.
"What is he here for?" Hong Jun asked in disbelief.
Yuan Kun's purpose was very clear. As soon as he stood on the altar, he raised his hand and pointed to the east. Without saying a word, he turned to face the west. When it was too late, Qingxiong suddenly turned his head. Under the altar, Hong Jun followed Yuan Kun's expectations and found Li Jinglong standing on the eaves of Yanqing Hall!
At that time, Li Jinglong had already opened his bow, and the bow was full of golden light, and when Qingxiong turned around, he soared into the sky in an instant.
Artai's sleeve fluttered, releasing a golden light, and the next moment, the exorcist appeared in four directions at the same time! With a cry from Qiu Yongsi, the subduing magic pestle was shaken away like a sea needle, and it was smashed down from the sky to the ground with one stick!
Yuan Kun turned around, pinched his fingers and whistled, and at the same time, Qingxiong spread his wings, turned into the real body of a golden-winged roc, and rushed towards Yanqing Palace! The building collapsed shockingly, birds rushed from all directions, and immediately Yuzhou's gleaming body appeared in the air, rushing towards the altar, trying to save Hongjun!
Hong Jun was about to rush out, but was pressed by the dead ghost king, and the hand on his shoulder finally fell. The pressure was heavier than Mount Tai, and Hong Jun couldn't move.
The dead ghost king: "Calm down."
Yu Zaoyun: "Now, go find your throwing knife, hurry up!"
Yuzaoyun led the way, Hongjun turned his head and saw that the Yanqing Hall had been completely destroyed by Qingxiong, a storm was blowing up around the altar, birds were overwhelming the sky, and Yuan Kun was still guarding in front of the altar.
Li Jinglong, Qiu Yongsi, Mo Zhigen, and Atai Fudo Mingwang's magic weapon all came out, but the golden-winged roc was very afraid of Fudo Mingwang's magic weapon, and didn't dare to touch its sharpness head-on. Yuan Kun said in a low voice: " Destroy the building!"
The golden-winged roc flew high into the sky, Li Jinglong released a rainstorm meteor arrow, and Du Hanqing shouted heartbreakingly on the altar: "Jinglong! Go!"
Yu Zaoyun laughed, and Hong Jun asked anxiously: "When is it, are you still laughing?"
"I'm sorry I couldn't hold back." Yuzaoyun said.
The Ghost King asked, "Where are the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife and the Five-Color Divine Light?"
Yuzaoyun said blankly, "I don't know."
Hong Jun and the two demon kings fled to the corridor, looking into the distance, the area around the altar has become a stormy battlefield, the ghost king said: "Find your throwing knife first, there must be a way!"
Hong Jun suddenly had an idea, and said, "I guess... I don't know where it is hidden, but I can guess who has it!"
Don't let anything happen to Li Jinglong... Hong Jun secretly prayed in his heart.
The sky was shaken, and the entire Yanqing Palace collapsed completely. The golden-winged roc swept the hurricane with its wings, rolled up broken bricks and tiles, and rushed towards the group of exorcists. Lu Xu and Yuzhou flew to the sky several times, but Forced back by the birds in the air one after another, Lu Xu shouted: "Too many! Can't get close!"
Yuzhou shouted to Du Hanqing: "Hongjun!"
"Hong Jun" knelt on the altar, looked at them, shook his head, and panted. Obviously, even he didn't expect that Li Jinglong and others would suddenly come to rob people, and he lost his mind for a while. Yuan Kun was covered with a black cloth, only quietly listening to the movements around him.
The four exorcists attacked Qingxiong in turn, but Qingxiong's target was very clear. He went straight to Li Jinglong, and the bricks and tiles were swept away by the storm, blocking the golden light and heavy rain released by the King Kong arrow. The dust flying all over the sky blocked Qiu Yongsi's sight. He shook the subduing magic pestle away, but couldn't find where Qingxiong was.
Immediately afterwards, the corridor where Qiu Yongsi was standing was overturned, throwing him off the corridor. The places where Mo Zhigen and Artest stood collapsed one after another, and Qingxiong roared angrily: "It's just in time!"
Li Jinglong's scattered arrows cleared away the flying rubble in front of him, his feet were empty, and he fell straight down, but he was extremely calm, stepped on a huge beam rolled in midair, and leaped forward recklessly. In the blink of an eye, Li Jinglong approached Qingxiong, and the golden-winged roc appeared from the chaotic storm, and saw that Li Jinglong was about to be ripped open by its sharp claws.
Li Jinglong crossed his left hand with a bow, and held the diamond arrow horizontally in his right hand, and slammed it against the shocking claw of the golden-winged roc! The golden-winged roc roared in pain, and threw Li Jinglong away with the magic weapon. Li Jinglong fell out of the hurricane circle like a kite with a broken string!
