In the Lanling Amber Tavern, everyone in the Exorcist Department has returned. After the carp demon was separated from Artai Hongjun in the imperial garden, he found an extremely important clue. The first emperor of the Li family appeared, and the palace was in chaos, so the carp demon went up to the roof and looked around. Originally, he chased all the way to find Hongjun's whereabouts, but unexpectedly found the figure of Gu ape behind the palace wall of Xingqing Palace. It is two of the "wine, sex and fortune".
When the two gu apes left, one mentioned to the other: The devil king ordered the third child to go after Yuan Kun, but he didn't know if he caught him, and he had to act as soon as possible to avoid complications.
After hearing this, Li Jinglong refused to comment, and explained to everyone that the identity of the prison is Yang Guozhong, and what happened in the palace. The rest of the people exchanged news with each other, Mo Zhigen and Ashinaqiong waited outside Yang's residence overnight, but nothing happened.
Artest explained Li Guinian's identity to everyone.
Lu Xu and Qiu Yongsi found out that the two demon generals under An Lushan's command had left the city tonight and left Chang'an, whereabouts are unknown.
Everyone pondered for a moment, Li Jinglong knew that Yang Guozhong's words were exaggerated to bluff people, making him think that he was holding hostages and would seriously consider his conditions. But Hong Jun didn't return, he was really anxious.
"The identity of Xi prison has been clarified." Qiu Yongsi said, "Things are much simpler."
"Since you dare to show yourself in front of us." Li Jinglong said again, "I must have been prepared for it. At present, it seems that the demon king is by no means easy to deal with."
"Did you find something?" Mo Zhigen thought for a while and said, "Except for Anlu Mountain, Xie Prison has established itself as Yang Guozhong in the palace, but by his side or 'under his command', he has already There are no monsters to call upon."
Li Jinglong nodded and said, "In Chang'an now, he has no subordinates, but An Lushan has found out that he has at least four subordinates. In terms of strength, maybe Xie Prison has lost a bit."
Ashina Qiong said: "Perhaps because of this, that flood dragon had to turn to you for help."
At this moment, Hong Jun came back and lifted the curtain inside the restaurant, and everyone was immediately surprised.
"Hong Jun!"
"Are you OK?!"
Hong Junrong seemed to be feeling tired, and smiled at everyone, expressing his reassurance. Li Jinglong looked at Hong Jun worriedly, Hong Jun nodded slightly, Li Jinglong was silent for a long time, let him sit beside him, and said: "The prison is lying to us."
"That's natural." Qiu Yongsi said, "This black dragon is vicious and cunning, and will never fulfill any of his promises..."
Hong Jun was a little lost in thought, and the words Yang Guozhong said to him before leaving the Yang Mansion still echoed in his ears.
"Tell me, what did Yuan Kun show you?"
Hong Jun didn't know why Yang Guozhong cared so much about Yuan Kun, since he was young, he had only heard about Kun God from Qingxiong's mouth. But according to what Qingxiong said back then, the heart lamp was given to him by Yuan Kun. Thinking of all kinds of coincidences now, it seems that everything has been arranged in the dark—Yuan Kun handed over the heart lamp to him through Qingxiong, Hong Jun went down the mountain and arrived in Chang'an to meet Li Jinglong, and it happened that that night, the heart lamp was sucked away by Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong fell in love with him again, and finally temporarily sealed his demon seed with a heart lamp.
Everything seems to be intertwined, leading his fate to a certain situation in the cycle of karma. After the fox demon fell to death, Yuan Kun appeared in Chang'an City for the first time, revealing his powerful power as one of the demon kings—foreseeing the future.
"... the golden-winged roc pierces people's hearts, and the Kun God of the North Sea can foresee the future." The carp demon's voice interrupted Hong Jun's thoughts, and said, "Maybe the demon wants to know what happened in the future."
Hong Jun raised his head from his thoughts, and suddenly met Li Jinglong's gaze, then looked at the carp demon, and asked, "Does God Kun know what will happen in the future?"
The carp demon said: "It is said that he can let everyone see his own future, but it is not very accurate. A person's life can sometimes be changed."
Hongjun: "..."
But Yuan Kun didn't let him see anything, and Hong Jun couldn't answer Yang Guozhong's question.
Lu Xu looked at Hongjun worriedly, and said, "Are you okay?"
Hong Jun shook his head hurriedly, and forced a smile at Lu Xu. In fact, it seemed that some information gradually became clear in his mind. Li Jinglong thought about it for a long time, and said: "The news brought back by Zhao Zilong is very useful. God Kun came to Chang'an not long ago, and without our knowledge, he fought with Xie Prison."
"It can knock God Kun away and injure it." The carp demon said again, "There must be some powerful magic weapon in the prison, so please don't provoke him."
Li Jinglong crossed his arms and thought, raised his hand at this moment, and said seriously: "It must be a serious injury, we have to try to find him."
"I'll go." Mo Zhigen said.
Li Jinglong said: "I'll go, now I'm a wanted criminal..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Long Wujun came to investigate outside, and there was chaos. Someone shouted: "Li Jinglong is wanted and at large! Accept the search immediately!"
"How to say what?" Artest couldn't help but cry.
The corners of Li Jinglong's mouth twitched, and when he was about to hide, there was the sound of whips outside, and the searching Longwu army suddenly howled ghosts and wolves, and the soldiers were in chaos. Accompanied by Trundeau's angry reprimand, although the members of the Exorcist Division had never been whipped, they heard it extremely well The tragic cry made his scalp tingle.
After a moment of silence, Li Jinglong calmly arranged tasks amidst the screams.
"Hongjun and I went to Luoyang to hunt down the whereabouts of the Gu ape." Li Jinglong said, "Use the Gu ape as a hostage to force An Lushan to reveal his real body..."
"...you are responsible for finding out the magic weapon he uses to protect the demons, trying to destroy it, or..."
Artest hesitated to speak for a moment, and Li Jinglong immediately noticed this detail.
"You are fully responsible?" Li Jinglong said to Artest.
Everyone looked at Artest for a while, Artest pondered for a long time, then nodded slowly.
Li Jinglong asked Artest, "Are you confident?"
Artest whispered: "I don't know, but I will try my best."
"What about me?" the carp demon said.
"Stay here." Li Jinglong said.
"I'm going."
"I said, stay!"
After some disputes, Hong Jun said: "Zhao Zilong, you stay."
When Hong Jun spoke, the carp demon had no choice but to give up.
Li Jinglong glanced at the crowd, pondered for a moment, and Mo Rigen said: "Assuming everything goes well, when will we make a comeback? How will we make a comeback? Where will we make a comeback?"
Li Jinglong thought about it, and said slowly: "It's the imperial concubine's birthday, then I will show up with the gu ape, besiege Anlu Mountain on the spot, and force him to show his original shape. The specific process must be discussed after the monster is caught."
Everyone nodded, and Hong Jun suddenly thought of something, and asked, "If An Lushan doesn't show up, what if the two Gu apes under him die?"
"Use the heart lamp to purify him." Li Jinglong said leisurely, "It's like in Dunhuang, as long as he loses his magic weapon, I'm sure to force him out."
Hong Jun remained silent, remembering the battle in Dunhuang—the demon seed in his body seemed to have an innate power to control the demonic energy, no matter who the demonic energy was on, or even wandering between heaven and earth. As long as he wants to absorb, anytime, anywhere.
If you also inhale the devilish energy of An Lushan into your body... This will be the easiest way to destroy the enemy.
"Hello." Li Jinglong said to Hongjun, "What are you thinking?"
Hong Jun immediately sat up straight and said, "It's nothing."
Everyone looked at Hong Jun, Hong Jun thought, is my mind so easy to guess? How does everyone know what I'm thinking
Li Jinglong hesitated and said: "You and me... that's all, anyway, get on the road as soon as possible, Artest."
Li Jinglong wanted to talk to Hong Jun, but thought that the two of them were going to Luoyang soon, and there was plenty of time. Then he got up and signaled Artest to come with him.
The Exorcism Department was temporarily closed down, and everyone had to stay overnight in a restaurant. Hong Jun followed Lu Xu to the backyard, and saw the carp demon helping him pack his luggage. Just now Yang Guozhong left time for Li Jinglong, allowing him to bring out a lot of the exorcist's belongings. Seeing this scene, Hong Jun suddenly had a strong premonition.
"I feel that the fate of the Exorcist is coming to an end." Hong Jun said.
"Don't say that!" Lu Xu changed his face.
The carp demon said: "Hong Jun, don't think about it!"
Hong Jun looked at Lu Xu again, and suddenly said, "Can you still make me dream of the past?"
Lu Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Have you changed your mind?"
Hong Jun nodded seriously. What Yang Guozhong said today reminded him of his childhood. For some reason, he always felt that everything would soon come to an end, as if his fate would also come to an end.
Lu Xu said, "Hongjun, don't."
Hong Jun lay down on the couch alone, looking sideways at Lu Xu.
"Xie prison told me that God Kun has great power, and he can let everyone see their own future." Hong Jun said, "But God Kun never let me see my future."
"The future is uncertain." The carp demon replied, "Master Xuanzang told me that even if you know that everything is destined to happen, it may be one of many futures. When you know a certain possibility, it may affect the future. Your present, and that possibility, will also be changed accordingly."
"But the past is always certain." Hong Jun said.
"The past is also uncertain." Lu Xu replied suddenly.
Hong Jun: "???"
Lu Xu said: "The past is nothingness, the future is nothingness, the only thing that exists is the present."
This is beyond Hong Jun's understanding, but he still said stubbornly: "Lu Xu, let me dream about the past again, this is very important to me."
Lu Xu sighed, stood on the couch, facing Hongjun, his hands and fingers stretched out in a tower shape, his long hair instantly became snow-white, and his whole body shone with light.
The carp demon suddenly gave a "wow" and slowly backed away.
Hong Jun looked at Lu Xu in surprise, and saw that Lu Xu's body became as transparent and bright as a soul body, with short antlers extending from his forehead, and the severed antlers had not yet fully recovered.
"I will give you a peaceful sleep away from nightmares." Lu Xu's voice became hoarse, and he pressed the back of Hongjun's hand with one hand, then lay down on the ground, held his hand tightly, and lay beside him.
Different from the way of touching his forehead, this time, when Hong Jun closed his eyes, there was a "swish" white light, and he passed through the long memory channel, only to hear Lu Xu say in his ear: "I am in your Beside."
Suddenly in that passage, thousands of black flames swirled and rushed towards them, Hong Jun said: "What is that?"
Lu Xu just waved his hand, and white light shot out suddenly, shattering the black flames rushing forward like a meteor, and the flames collapsed and subsided.
"This is the nightmare you inhaled not long ago." Lu Xu said, "This channel is the enchantment guarded by the heart lamp."
Hong Jun's consciousness gradually calmed down, and the white light flashed again in front of him. He and Lu Xu rushed out of the passage, and there was a sudden heavy rain in front of him. Generally, a white soul body floating in mid-air.
And his body seemed to have returned to the attire he once wore in Yaojin Palace, wearing a battle skirt with seven peacock feathers fluttering behind him, while Lu Xu was covered in white light, and the horns on the top of his head flickered from time to time.
"No matter what happens, don't let go of my hand." Lu Xu reminded.
Hong Jun opened his eyes wide, only to see Kong Xuan boiling a pot of water with spells on the porch before the rainstorm, and there was loud crying in the room. At this moment, Yang Guozhong pushed the door open and entered the room.
Hong Jun became excited when he saw it, and the whole dream shook instantly. Lu Xu immediately said: "Hong Jun! Keep your heart!"
This time Hong Jun floated in the air like a spirit body, observing his dream, which was different from the last time he directly entered his body in the dream. With a little thought, the dream was almost broken, and he could only rely on Lu Xu to do his best to maintain it.
"Dad..."
"Hong Jun!" Lu Xu shouted angrily, Hong Jun woke up and tried to stay calm.
The dream gradually became blurred. From winter to summer, and then from summer to winter, the surrounding scene was covered with snow, and the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. It showed the scene outside the general's mansion in Yumen County. Kong Xuan was carrying the infant Xiao Hongjun on his back. Jun was only one year old, and was tightly wrapped in cotton cloth, his little face was flushed from the cold, so he was asked to carry it out the door.
Hong Jun said: "I saw my uncle!"
Lu Xu said, "come with me."
Holding Hongjun's hand, Lu Xu flew to the vast snowfield, and followed Kong Xuan who rode his horse through the snowfield. The scenery flashed away, and he came to the foot of the snow-capped mountain. Stepping on the light powder on the star road, gently stepping on the air and throwing it into the distance.
"That's you." Hong Jun smiled.
Lu Xu gave a "hmm", but the next moment, the dragon roared in the sky and the earth, and the black dragon came rolling forward, biting the white deer.
Kong Xuan raised his head suddenly, turned his horse's head and headed towards the village.
Hong Jun was extremely nervous, and he and Lu Xu looked at the sky. Then, Kong Xuan flew out under the night sky, wearing a navy blue robe with glittering gold belts, his body covered with battle armor, and flew into the sky to fight the black flood dragon! This was the first time Hong Jun saw the real body of his father Peacock Daming King, and his eyes widened instantly.
"You who have lost the demon seed, you no longer have the power of a god and a demon..." the black flood dragon roared.
Kong Xuanze said loudly: "Only you with one soul, each other."
The black dragon roared in pain, then turned and left, the white deer bitten by its mouth wailed, turned into light spots and scattered, a ray of white light spun and flew towards the village under the snow mountain, Kong Xuan chased the black dragon, but The cry of the baby was heard again.
With a flash of light, Hongjun and Lu Xu are holding hands, standing in Lu Xu's old residence, Kong Xuan is assisting Lu Xu's mother to deliver the baby, and washing the newborn baby, Xiao Hongjun is pressing Kong Xuan's shoulder, shaking Standing awkwardly, looking at the newborn little Lu Xu.
Hong Jun and Lu Xu were both silent. After a while, Lu Xu flew out with Hong Jun to the heights of Mogao Grottoes. He saw Kong Xuan was still carrying Xiao Hongjun on his back, talking with the ghost king sitting on the top of the cave.
"He loves you." Lu Xu said suddenly.
Hong Jun said "um", and his mood was very complicated. After learning the truth, he once hated his father, Chongming, and Qingxiong... But no matter how much hatred, it will be of no avail in the time. When I saw my father taking me with me, trying every means to make up for his mistakes, I felt a sense of sadness in my heart.
