It was almost dusk and the sky was getting darker. The guards outside the Dingling Mausoleum retreated far away, not daring to approach. It was obvious that they had heard about ghosts. The three of them waited in the hiding place for a while. Li Jinglong secretly observed and looked around. After a while, Ashina Qiong went up first and opened the door of Dingling.
"Zhao Zilong." Li Jinglong said to the carp demon, "You are watching the wind outside. If someone comes but doesn't come in, please let us know."
The figure of the carp demon just fit into the air vent above the tomb passage, so he hid in the pond outside Dingling Mausoleum and the water channel under the stone railing and waited.
"Let's go!" Li Jinglong pulled Hong Jun into Dingling, and as soon as the two entered, Ashinaqiong locked it outside.
"You want us..." Hong Jun didn't finish his sentence, but was dragged in by Li Jinglong.
"If there is no situation, he will come and let us out early tomorrow morning." Li Jinglong said, Hongjun wanted to light the fire, but Li Jinglong held him down and refused to let him raise his hand.
I couldn't see my fingers, only Li Jinglong's voice said in my ear: "Hold on to me."
The passages in Dingling are intricate, and Hong Jun almost touched something, but Li Jinglong grabbed him tightly and motioned him to walk against the wall. Miraculously, Li Jinglong is very familiar with this place, the two of them are next to the wall, no one knows where they are, and they can't see anything, only the warmth of Li Jinglong's palm.
"sit."
Hong Jun sat down on a coffin, and was startled suddenly, but Li Jinglong whispered: "This is Di Gong's tomb."
Only then did Hong Jun breathe a sigh of relief, and Li Jinglong listened attentively. In the depths of the ground, the surroundings became extremely quiet for an instant, as if they could hear the heartbeats of the two. The ground was colder than the outside, and there was a chill, so Li Jinglong put Hong Jun's hand in his own and rubbed it slightly.
"When will it be?" Hong Jun asked.
"Tomorrow morning." Li Jinglong said, "I guess wine, sex, wealth, and energy all invaded a tomb, but I don't know their purpose... And the prison went to another tomb, which is Zhaoling."
"But when Cheng Xiao entered Zhaoling, Xiong Prison was not there." Hong Jun said, "Don't you think it's strange?"
"It knew you were going to Zhaoling, so it went there and waited." Li Jinglong replied, "It's not surprising, I've confirmed that this is a trap."
Hong Jun picked it up instantly!
"That is to say..."
"Hush..."
"The prison sent out wine, sex, wealth, and gas... If I guessed right, I went into the tombs of previous dynasties to find something." Li Jinglong said casually, "When the incident happened, Huang Yong went to inform the Exorcist. I was informed by Xie Prison, so I used my plan and squatted in Zhaoling to guard you."
"There is another possibility." Hong Jun said solemnly.
"What's possible?" Li Jinglong asked in a low voice, reached out and put his arms around him, holding him in his arms.
Hong Jun replied: "What if Cheng Xiao has seen Xie Prison?"
"That's impossible." Li Jinglong couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "Cheng Xiao is human, I am very sure of that."
Hong Jun stopped talking, and Li Jinglong replied: "I used to watch many children grow up in the Shenwu Army."
"Well, you two have known each other for a long time." Hong Jun said casually.
Li Jinglong whispered in the dark: "Are you jealous?" There was a smile in his voice.
Hong Jun didn't answer him, Li Jinglong said again: "I thought you didn't like me so much, can you be more angry?"
Hong Jun: "..."
Hong Jun just wanted to beat him up, but Li Jinglong said: "You can't kiss on the tomb of Mr. Di, but it's okay..."
As he spoke, Hong Jun felt Li Jinglong's scorching lips lightly touch the side of his face, and hurriedly pushed him away, not to mess around in the tomb.
"... Presumably Mr. Di... Well, he won't blame me." Li Jinglong replied.
Hong Jun knew that Li Jinglong always regarded himself as the successor of Di Renjie and was proud of being Di Renjie's heir, but whenever he heard the name, Hong Jun would think of the scene in his memory, which made him very uncomfortable, and sighed tone.
Li Jinglong misunderstood him, and said with a smile: "You don't believe me?"
"No." Hong Jun replied casually, "Can I take a look here?"
Li Jinglong said: "Light a lamp. Just now I didn't know if there were monsters entrenched in the tomb, so I didn't let you turn on the lamp. Now I don't think so."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box, and fireflies flew out from inside, illuminating the small room. There was only a square ebony dowry in the room, which contained Di Renjie's clothes. Hong Jun looked around with the lamp on, and saw that there were many scrolls and pictures stored in Di Renjie's private house.
"Di Gong's tomb is in Luoyang." Li Jinglong said, "Zhongzong insisted on leaving this tomb for him."
Hong Jun got his consent and asked if he could take a look. Li Jinglong signaled him to be casual. He crossed his feet and said, "Many things are brought in by me every year when I sacrifice. I thought about putting the Wisdom Sword here too. .”
When Li Jinglong served as the captain of the Longwu Army, he would follow the royal family and the prince every year to worship the ancestors of the Tang royal family. When he arrived at Dingling, he would stay here alone for a while.
"Cheng Xiao is Lian Hao's distant cousin." Li Jinglong said, "You have met Lian Hao in Dali Temple."
Hong Jun: "Yes."
With the light from fireflies, he looked at the books on the shelf, all of which were transcripts of cases in Luoyang during the Shenlong period. Li Jinglong seemed to be lost in memory, and said: "The Sixth Army has a reserve team. The young boys in the team are all twelve or thirteen-year-old children who wish to join the army. That's how I came here."
"Ok."
"The lieutenant colonels of the various armies often go to see these young men every year in preparation for selection. Cheng Xiao met at that time. He is very smart and very courageous..."
"Well."
"But I don't like it."
"What do you like?"
"I like good-looking, but stupid."
Hong Jun: "..."
Li Jinglong said: "If it really doesn't work, I'll let it go if I look good. I'm just a kid who is too smart and likes to pretend to be smart. I can't take care of my brother."
Hong Jun said coldly: "He is also very good-looking."
"That's good-looking? Are you blind?" Li Jinglong said.
Hong Jun turned around to hit him on the head with a book, but Li Jinglong laughed, gave up his seat, and signaled Hong Jun to sit down. Hong Jun ignored him and wanted to go out, but Li Jinglong said: "Don't walk around, stay inside."
"I really don't like smart people." Li Jinglong said, "Because I am very smart."
Hong Jun felt sour in his heart, and said, "Didn't many children like you in the Longwu Army?"
"Finally asked." Li Jinglong smiled.
"Do you like a... uh, good-looking young man?" Hong Jun turned over the scroll again, Li Jinglong raised his hand, and fireflies flew to Hong Jun's face, illuminating the scroll.
Li Jinglong said: "I'm telling the truth, are you angry?"
"Not angry." Hong Jun replied.
"Yes." Li Jinglong said honestly, "Your brother, since I was thirteen or fourteen years old, I have found that I have always disliked girls, and only like young men, probably because of my innate nature."
Hong Jun thought of Qin Wu, Cheng Xiao, and Li Jinglong's previous performance in Pingkang, and finally realized it, but Li Jinglong was so outspoken that he was a little surprised. It seemed that only at this time did he see another Li Jinglong who was different from usual.
"But when I was in Longwu Army, I was innocent." Li Jinglong said.
"I know, you said it." Hong Jun smiled and replied.
"You asked me when I fell in love with you." Li Jinglong thought for a while and said, "Maybe I have fallen in love with you since I saw you a few times."
Hong Jun turned around and looked at Li Jinglong with complicated feelings in his heart. Li Jinglong said softly, "Come here, Hong Jun, I miss you."
Hong Jun stepped forward, straddled Li Jinglong's lap, and looked down at him. Li Jinglong looked up at Hongjun, and said: "When I was in the Longwu Army, they often talked about it behind my back, which ruined my reputation."
Hong Jun touched the side of his face, hugged his neck, and let him bury him in front of his shoulders.
Li Jinglong said again: "Sometimes I always wonder, what do I like? Like Qin Wu, like Cheng Xiao? Like who is looking for me, but they don't look much like them, they are vague..."
Hong Jun suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"But when we met in the Exorcist Department and had a fight, the light was dim at first, so I couldn't see clearly, and then I looked at you with concentration." Li Jinglong said, "It's really evil, I thought it was you. You That's it...”
He raised his head, narrowed his eyes again, looked at Hong Jun, and said: "Your eyebrows and eyes, your appearance, and even your stupidity when you talk... all make me feel... It's like I was destined to see you People like you will fall in love with you crazily... The young men I knew before, they all resemble you, but there is only a little bit, only this little bit... It makes my heart move, let alone... "
Hong Jun couldn't help thinking of his childhood memories, looked down at Li Jinglong, and stared blankly into his eyes.
Li Jinglong hugged him, raised his head, and fireflies were dancing beside them. In the faint light, Li Jinglong seemed to be looking up to some god devoutly.
Hong Jun covered his face with one hand, and slowly connected the past together. Li Jinglong's memory may be Qingxiong, or Di Renjie... no matter who it is, the memory has been erased.
But in the deepest part of his heart, he still seems to remember himself.
I remember that I wanted to get rid of the demon seeds on him, so I searched for immortals and Taoism, and wanted to learn magic; I remembered the time they spent together, and even saw myself in the bodies of other teenagers.
He didn't want to say such a thing, because once he said it, it would be equivalent to taking off all his armor in front of Hong Jun, and he would be defenseless.
"Not to mention my prince?" Li Jinglong raised his eyebrows and whispered.
Hong Jun put his hands on the side of Li Jinglong's face, looked at his handsome face, and said, "Sometimes I can't help but think, if Dad is the demon king of Chang'an, it will probably be even more difficult for you."
Li Jinglong said with a smile: "Then we two have to fight to the death, maybe I still have to let you in the end."
"I won't show mercy." Hong Jun said.
Li Jinglong said: "That's natural."
Suddenly Li Jinglong thought of something else, and murmured: "How did the battle between your father and Xi prison start?"
Hong Jun was very confused. Even he knew very little about what happened back then, and said, "The monster clan is divided into two factions."
"That is to say, there will also be battles among the monster clan." Li Jinglong said.
"Of course." Hong Jun replied.
Li Jinglong frowned and thought, Hong Jun felt that he seemed to have inspiration, so he got off him and sat aside.
"What are you thinking?" Hong Jun asked.
Li Jinglong glanced at Hong Jun sideways, and said, "I always feel that I'm about to catch that clue. Say what you said just now?"
"What if my father is the Demon King of Chang'an?" Hong Jun asked.
"Behind." Li Jinglong said again.
"The monster clan is divided into two factions?" Hong Jun said.
Li Jinglong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Do you remember what he said about the information Yongsi found?"
"Wine, sex, wealth, and spirit." Hong Jun said, "It's four monsters."
"What are they doing?" Li Jinglong's breathing became rapid, and he felt that he was only one step away from the truth!
"Guarding another demon?" Hong Jun said, "Xie Prison separated the three souls and turned them into three demon seeds to replace the sky demon species he could not find..."
Li Jinglong said: "One is in Lu Xu's body."
Hong Jun nodded and said, "But we ruined it."
"The other one is unknown." Li Jinglong said tremblingly, "You two saw it in Zhaoling that day, do you think it is the second or the third?"
Hong Jun scratched his head, but he couldn't answer. Li Jinglong immediately said: "The heart demon needs a parasite. Do you think there will be a fight between the two heart demons in the prison?"
"Ah?" This idea is too unbelievable, but Hong Jun can vaguely understand where Li Jinglong's speculation came from. The monster clan is divided into two factions—Xie Prison's own demons will also be divided into two factions, just like he turned one of his souls into his heart. The demon, implanted into Lu Xu's soul, made him completely demonized. But the demonized Lu Xu is still Lu Xu, he will not become a prison!
That is to say, on the land of Shenzhou, there is another body of demons with independent consciousness. Whether it is a human or a monster, he must exist.
"So our enemy has changed from one to two?" Hong Jun said.
"What if they fight among themselves?" Li Jinglong asked Hongjun.
Hong Jun murmured: "I can't...he..."
Li Jinglong said: "The prison uses the soul to refine the seeds of the demon, and then finds the parasite to implant. This does not mean that he will eat Lu Xu's soul and turn Lu Xu into himself. That is to say, the implanted person, It still has its own will, doesn't it?"
Hong Jun nodded immediately, and Li Jinglong said: "If it were me, I might want to gobble up the prison instead, or hope to get rid of the prison's control."
"I don't think Xie Prison will tell this parasite." Hong Jun said.
Li Jinglong said instead: "Then we might as well tell him."
Hong Jun: "..."
However, at this moment, after Li Jinglong finished speaking, he took the firefly away with his left hand, closed the box, quickly covered Hong Jun's mouth with his right hand, and then wrapped him up and retracted into the corner of the wall.
A gust of wind blew into the tomb, as if there were many ghosts rumbling past, the books on the shelf were blown up by the wind, and the faint blue light slowly lit up. In an instant, it was like a group of ghosts resurrected in the tomb, and the scene was extremely spectacular!
The spiritual power shuttled back and forth, as if sweeping all the areas in Dingling, accompanied by a strange man's hoarse laughter, Hong Jun opened his eyes wide when he heard the voice, feeling horrified.
The strange wind subsided and disappeared with a "swish". Li Jinglong led Hong Jun out of the corner. Hong Jun held Li Jinglong's finger in his left hand and a flying knife in his right hand. Zhong bowed and walked out.
The faint blue light shuttled and danced in the imperial mausoleum like a river, and Li Jinglong signaled Hong Jun to bow his head and avoid the river of light. The two hid behind a three-color figurine with a height of one person. I saw that figure entered the tomb with an extremely strange movement.
What they saw was only the shadow of a monster, and it looked like a person, leaning on two crutches, but quietly, after a while, he reached a high place, followed by another monster. The two monsters seem to be talking with the syllables of the human language, but with extremely vague guttural sounds.
"...in the mouth... where?" one of the monsters said, "the door of the tomb... is open."
"Quick," replied the other monster, "Don't... time..."
The previous monster let out a piercing sneer, and then there was a rumbling sound in the tomb, and Li Xian's coffin was opened.
Hong Jun took a look with his head, and was immediately dragged back by Li Jinglong. Hong Jun hurriedly waved his hand to signal that the two monsters had already entered, and Li Jinglong also looked at it.
The entrance of the central tomb is located on a high place, and a strange purple-black light burst out from inside in an instant. At that time, there seemed to be countless people talking and singing in it, accompanied by the sound of copper coins rolling down.
Li Jinglong quickly wrote a word on Hongjun's back: money.
Hong Jun opened his eyes wide, the purple-black light dimmed, and then there was a noise inside.
what are they doing ! Hong Jun's curiosity was about to explode, but he couldn't catch up to see it. Li Jinglong held his hand tightly to prevent him from making any moves.
And at the next moment, all the sounds stopped.
"I... Xie prison... know."
"Even if he...how? What's more...arrange... not to kill..."
"... lightweight."
"They won't know..."
"Strange to say... ambush."
"...in Qiaoling..."
The two figures leaned on crutches again and walked out.
The voice was extremely small and indistinct. Li Jinglong just listened intently. After a while, the monster left the tomb. It took less than a cup of tea, and the tomb returned to tranquility.
"What is it?" Hong Jun asked in surprise.
Li Jinglong immediately raised his hand, thinking in the dark.
"Where are the exorcists at the entrance of the prison, or... where are the officers and soldiers?" Li Jinglong repeated from memory, "The door of the tomb has not been opened. The other one urges the first one to hurry up and don't waste time."
After being reminded like this, Hong Jun also recognized a little bit from the grunting guttural voice, and said, "I hate prison, do you know?"
"I suspect that Xie Prison already knew about it." Li Jinglong said, "Even if he knew, what can he do? He doesn't even know our arrangement, as long as he doesn't kill anyone. To put it lightly, they won't know our detailed arrangement. Strange, there is no ambush? It should be in Qiaoling."
Li Jinglong and Hong Jun looked at each other, and Hong Jun said in a low voice: "They are not with Xi Prison!"
Li Jinglong said: "What kind of monsters talk like that? Fish? Birds?"
Hong Jun frowned, shook his head, and said, "With two crutches, what are they?"
Hong Jun was about to get up, but was held back by Li Jinglong until the carp demon came in and shouted in the dark: "Hong Jun?"
Hong Juncai and Li Jinglong came out of the tomb, the moon was in the sky, Li Jinglong inspected the surroundings, only to see that no one died this time, and immediately went down the mountain with Hong Jun.
A white deer with broken horns exuded a gentle white light on a moonlit night. It stepped across the grass and arrived at the foot of the mountain. Chao Hongjun and Li Jinglong said: "We had a fight in the bridge mausoleum, and the big wolf was injured. gone back."
