In the morning, the clouds were overcast and the snow was getting smaller.
In the post station, Hong Jun was so asleep that he hugged Li Jinglong, and Li Jinglong was lying on his back, sleeping soundly, with one arm for Hong Jun to pillow, embracing his shoulders, Hong Jun pressed against his chest, as if Li Jinglong was in Li Jinglong's heart. The lamp has a strange and innate attraction for him.
The wind was still blowing, Hong Jun woke up, yawned, and stopped breathing the moment he opened his eyes. He raised his eyes to look at Li Jinglong who was asleep, and couldn't help but become short of breath. He wrapped his whole body around Li Jinglong's body, hugged his waist with one hand, put one leg between his legs, buried his head on his shoulder, and listened to his heartbeat.
What's even more exaggerated is that Hong Jun just woke up early in the morning and was still hard. The thing was pressed against the crotch of the single pants, and water seeped out, and Li Jinglong felt hard from sleep on his legs. The warm blanket, Li Jinglong's body temperature, heaving chest, and the pleasant smell on his body all gave Hong Jun a sense of security that he was no longer alone.
This sense of security made his heart flutter, and he suddenly felt a feeling almost nostalgic.
Anyway, I haven't woken up yet... Hold me for a while. Hong Jun likes this feeling very much, like when he eats delicious food, a flower blooms in his heart, or when he is lying on a rock basking in the sun, the warm wind blows, and the whole world gently embraces him , that sense of companionship is everywhere.
Li Jinglong moved slightly and woke up.
Hong Jun had no choice but to let go of his hands, and turned to lie down carefully. Li Jinglong was restless in sleep, and when he turned his head and opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Hong Jun, so he laughed.
"How long have you been awake?" Li Jinglong's arms were numb from the pillow, and he pressed his shoulders to move his arms.
"You like to laugh a lot recently." Hong Jun said.
Li Jinglong realized something, suppressed his smile, and told him to get up quickly, don't keep getting up.
The wind and snow are still the same today, but the snow is getting weaker. After breakfast, the caravans will not be able to go there. Judging by the posture, if we go northwest, the snowstorm will only become bigger and the road will be more difficult. Li Jinglong stood outside the gate of the post station, frowning deeply to observe the sky.
Hong Jun knew that he was anxious to go out, so he said: "Xue is a little lighter, let's go."
"Can it work?" Li Jinglong asked Hongjun, "The weather is too windy."
Hong Jun said no problem, Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to go on the road together.
"If you two want to go to Wuwei." The waiter at the post station came out and said, "You have to be careful not to go the wrong way. The snow is so deep that it covers the official road. Once you get lost, you will be in trouble in the wilderness. .”
Li Jinglong thought so too. This time when he left Chang'an, he brought a map from two years ago. During this time, many places were changed, and he took the wrong road three or two times on the way. Fortunately, he found the correct destination. But now the snowstorm covers the official road and farmland, and there are no caravan ruts, it is very likely to crash into the wasteland and find no place.
"You go to the north." Xiaoer said again, "there was the Great Wall of Daohan Dynasty there, and the Great Wall can still block the wind. Follow the Great Wall to the station outside Wuwei, and then turn back and go south for sixty miles."
Li Jinglong thanked him, then got on the horse with Hong Jun, and went to find the Great Wall of Hanshi. The road was covered by wind and snow, and it was difficult for horses to walk. When he saw the Great Wall, Hong Jun couldn't help but exclaim.
The wind and snow are boundless, and a high wall stands in the sky, ignoring the wind and snow, like the edge of the world, guarding the prosperous China. This winding dragon crosses the wilderness, climbs the mountains, comes from its starting point, rises to the sky, and then bows to the earth. It has been the same as before for thousands of years.
"Let's go." Li Jinglong turned his horse's head and said.
"What's out there?" Hong Jun asked.
Li Jinglong said: "Outside is a wider world."
Hong Jun said again: "I have read Wang Changling, the moon in the Qin Dynasty and the pass in the Han Dynasty..."
"The Long March of Thousands of Miles - People have not yet returned." Li Jinglong sang with a smile, two galloping horses galloped along the Great Wall to the end of the world in the storm and snow.
"But let the flying generals of Dragon City stay, don't teach Huma Duyin Mountain..."
"This is a poem about my ancestors." Li Jinglong said to Hongjun.
Although Hong Jun didn't know the great reputation of Li Jinglong's ancestor, parachutist Li Guang, he must be a very powerful person.
"Is it cold?" Li Jinglong slowed down his horse and asked sideways.
After last night, when Hong Jun faced Li Jinglong, he always felt a little embarrassed, and today he took the initiative to ride his own horse.
Hong Jun waved his hand, and Li Jinglong said, "Come here when it's cold, brother will take you."
Hong Jun replied: "I am not so weak!"
The carp demon woke up, and said behind Hong Jun's back: "We are not cold at all, Li Changshi, what's the matter with you? Can't you?"
The wind and snow rose again, and it was more violent than last night. The cold air poured into his breath, and Hong Jun couldn't speak for a while. Li Jinglong quickly waved his hand to signal him to cover his mouth and nose, and go ahead to open the way.
The Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, as if it will never end. Li Jinglong covered his mouth and nose, and looked back from time to time to confirm that Hong Jun had followed. Strange to say, Hong Jun saw the blizzard around him as if the sky was collapsing, as if billions of shining stars were falling from the sky, and the strong wind was going to lift up the entire land and shake them to the sky, but he didn't think so. Not shivering either.
When Li Jinglong was stationed in front, Hong Jun asked, "What's the matter?!"
"Are you cold!" Li Jinglong asked, "Why don't you turn back! Don't freeze!"
Hong Jun said: "It's really not cold, how about you?"
Li Jinglong was wearing rein control gloves and wrapped in a black cloak. He was always physically fit, but he couldn't help trembling a little at this time, saying: "I'm fine, then... hold on for a while! The camp will be closed in the evening!"
The two continued to move forward. After an hour, Hong Jun suddenly felt that something was wrong, and Li Jinglong's speed was obviously slower.
"Chang Shi, are you okay?" Hong Jun asked back.
Li Jinglong sneezed while riding on the horse.
Hongjun: "..."
Don't be frozen, Hong Jun hurriedly turned his horse's head back, the wind became stronger, and it was almost impossible to move an inch. Li Jinglong said: "Find a place and hide for a while!"
At that time, under the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, there was a vacant barracks every ten miles, reserved for the ancient soldiers to spend the night when patrolling. The two crashed into the barracks in a daze, Hong Jun turned around and closed the door to keep the cold wind out, Li Jinglong couldn't help rubbing his hands, breathing, his lips were slightly blue.
The carp demon rummaged around in the barracks and found several porcelain pots for boiling water. Li Jinglong sneezed again, and Hong Jun said, "Don't be sick."
Li Jinglong hurriedly said it might as well, and said: "I warmed up after a short rest, I didn't expect it to be so cold here..." He sneezed again. It was so dark that I don't know how long it took, Hong Jun rubbed his fingers, lit firewood, boiled some water and ate dry food.
Li Jinglong fell asleep leaning against the wooden box in the barracks, and the carp demon said: "Look at the unlucky ghost, something is not right."
Hong Jun reached out to touch Li Jinglong's forehead, it was hot.
"Oops." Hong Jun said, "Chang Shi?"
Li Jinglong opened his eyes and said, "What time is it? Let's go, we have to hurry."
Li Jinglong was about to get up, but he had no strength. Hong Jun said: "You're cold, don't frostbite your lungs, take a rest, wait for the snow to stop before leaving, I'll give you some medicine."
Li Jinglong was very depressed. In the end, he was sick, but in front of Hongjun, he had made enough embarrassments. This time, he had to say: "I don't know what happened. Last year, the Longwu Army went to the Guanzhong Plain to train. I didn't close my eyes for three days and nights, and I didn't get sick after heavy rain and exposure to the sun... "
Hong Jun looked for medicine and replied, "Maybe it's too cold outside."
"Yes, yes." The carp demon said, "Your physique is not as good as that of Hongjun, so you really don't need to feel ashamed. My family Hongjun is..."
Hong Jun hurriedly signaled the carp demon to stop poking it, and it would be pierced if he poked it again. He found the warming post that he carried with him, which contained medicinal materials such as dried ginger and Bupleurum, and brought out another phoenix feather, so he let out a "huh". Said: "I see, it should be this."
The phoenix feather was shimmering in the freezing weather, Hong Jun had carried it in his arms before, no wonder it wasn't cold!
Hong Jun put the Phoenix Feather in Li Jinglong's arms, went out to pick up some more firewood, and prepared to boil the medicine. As soon as he took a step, he yelled wildly: "My God! It's so cold!"
"Let me say it's cold." Li Jinglong said slightly depressed, "Don't go out, I'll sweat for a while."
Hong Jun signaled that it was okay, and when he walked out of the snow, there was a frozen stream in the distance, and there were many trees on the opposite side. When the cold wind blew, Hong Jun suddenly screamed. In an instant, the three souls and seven spirits came out of the body, and the opened mouth was frozen so that it could not close.
"It's so cold... so cold... I'm going to die..." Hong Jun almost fell on the snow, feeling the wind coming from all directions, blowing towards him, he kept telling himself I can't die, I can't die, I can't die To go back and save Changshi...
Hong Jun stretched out the five-color divine light, but the divine light could block the wind and snow, but it couldn't block the icy cold air. Once he used spells, it became even colder. Hong Jun quickly retracted the divine light, and chopped down the tree with a flying knife. Staggering, he dragged a pine tree as tall as a person back.
Hong Jun knocked open the door, shivering from the cold, Li Jinglong was taken aback, and said nervously: "Don't get sick!"
Hong Jun said: "Okay, okay."
He cut a few pieces of firewood with a throwing knife, closed the door tightly, lit a fire, and it took him a while to recover. Putting the crock pot on the fire, first boiled a large bowl of thick cold-dispelling soup, poured it down for Li Jinglong, drank a bowl himself, and then warmed Li Jinglong to make him sweat.
The sky is dark and the wind is still loud, so we can only deal with it here tonight. Li Jinglong started sweating after drinking the medicine. With the phoenix feather in his arms and the two fur coats of himself and Hong Jun, he thought it would be no serious problem.
The carp demon lay sideways on Li Jinglong's lap, sleeping with his eyes open. The carp would wilt in winter and talk less.
Hong Jun spread his legs, sat on the edge of the fire, and poked the fire with a branch, still thinking about what Li Jinglong said last night in his mind.
what do i want How will I spend my life? Hong Jun still remembers that Chongming said a long time ago that no matter how high a bird flies in its life, through the mountains and mountains, through the stars at night and the white clouds under the blue sky, there will eventually be a place to settle. place.
That will be the destination of his life, and more importantly, the destination will be the place where he goes around and searches tirelessly all his life. Is it a world of flowers and flowers, or a perilous peak, a mud nest under the eaves of the human race, or a lonely beach in the middle of the river.
Where will be my home? Hong Jun gradually understood Chongming's words. He also missed home. It was his home, but it was not the place where he needed to put himself after he had gone through his life. Maybe one day in the future, he will find that Yaojin Palace is his final destination, but at least not now.
It used to belong to his father Kong Xuan, Chongming and Qingxiong. Perhaps it was because of this that his father left Yaojin Palace and came to the land of Shenzhou to be with his mother. Has he found his destination
Outside the gate of Yulin City.
When leaving Yulin, Mo Zhigen took Lu Xu and handed the letter to the guards.
"Please send this letter to Dali Temple in Chang'an, and pass it on to Li Jinglong, the exorcist." Mo Zhigen said.
Along the way, he heard a lot of news from the Northwest. The northern merchants came to the Central Plains to rest their feet for the winter, and the legend of the dead body in the frontier spread widely. Some people said that it was a group of Uighurs pretending to be a group of Uighurs who slaughtered and plundered the city; There was a corpse change, and rumors spread all over the place for a while, and they were well-made.
The military report carried by Lu Xu was supposed to be sent to the garrison of Ge Shuhan in Liangzhou Prefecture, but the content of the letter had long been blurred, so Mo Zhigen decided to go there in person and go north to have a look, while the incomplete military report was handed over to Li Jinglong to judge. A letter was also included, mentioning what happened in the north.
"Look." Mo Rigen said to Lu Xu, "It's been done for you."
When Lu Xu saw the soldier, he nodded again and again. After he went crazy, he was still thinking about his responsibility. Now he is better now, and then looked up at Mo Zhigen.
Mo Zhigen said: "You took me to find the deer, and where did you meet it in the end, do you remember?"
Lu Xu hesitated, looked at Mo Zhigen, Mo Zhigen patted himself on the chest, and said, "I can beat ghosts, and I will avenge you."
Lu Xu finally stopped escaping and began to guide Mo Zhigen to go north.
Wearing a leather mask, Mo Zhigen shared a ride with Lu Xu, then turned around and said, "How old are you? How many people are in your family?"
Lu Xu just kept silent and looked around on his horse. Mo Zhigen saw that the young man was very pitiful. According to the news, all his comrades must have died, and the city was also destroyed. His family must have been unlucky too. some.
In a world of ice and snow, under the Great Wall of Han Dynasty.
Hong Jun sighed softly, but at some point, the snow outside stopped.
He looked out from a small hole in the barracks. It was pitch black outside, and he couldn't see anything. He touched Li Jinglong's forehead again, and Li Jinglong was still running a fever, but his face was no longer pale.
Hong Jun just kept watch like this until he was a little tired, and was about to lie down and deal with it for the night, but suddenly he heard rustling sounds from outside, accompanied by the restless neighing of horses.
Are any animals too cold? Hong Jun was afraid that it was a fox or a wolf, and he was afraid that he would scare the horse away. As long as it was not a beast, he could let it in for a night and let it keep warm.
He opened the door and went out. The clouds outside were so dark that he couldn't see his hands. Hong Jun took a torch and shone the light. He saw two restless horses resting in a shelter from the wind.
Hong Jun turned around, pointed the torch into the depths of the darkness, and saw messy footprints ten steps away.
someone
someone!
Hong Jun hurriedly said, "Is anyone there?"
On the other side of the snow field, there was the sound of tree branches snapping by the side of the creek. Hong Jun took a few steps forward, waved the torch, and made a sound of wind. There was a constant rustling behind, and the horses made restless noises again. There was no sound in the quiet night, everything seemed so weird.
The cold is everywhere, hitting the ground like mercury, Hong Jun walked a little further, crossed the creek, he began to realize that something was wrong, under the light of the torch, his expression was full of vigilance, and in his Behind, several black shadows appeared on the tree.
Hong Jun turned around, and when he was about to go back, suddenly a person rushed up behind him and hit him hard on the back!
Hong Jun popped out the throwing knife in an instant, rolled on the spot, raised his hand and shot the flying knife as he rolled across the snow, hitting the armor on the black shadow, and sank into his body!
However, the black shadow was not afraid of the flying knife at all, and rushed forward again with a strange cry!
what is this? ! Before Hong Jun recovered his senses, another monster in armor pounced from behind, and then a monster with a weapon jumped down from the tree above his head! Hong Jun blocked it with a torch, and the torch fell to the ground and extinguished instantly when it fell into the snow.
The five-color divine light shook away with a "hum", resisting the cutting weapons around him. With the illusion-like glazed light, Hong Jun suddenly saw the enemy clearly.
It was a soldier wearing a strange armor. The soldier's eyes were cloudy, and the pupils could not be seen in the eyeballs. He slashed at Hongjun with a weapon in his hand!
