The strange man crawling out of the cemetery is the black robe.
Her tricks were really good, and she actually deceived everyone.
Yes, this cemetery is not an altar used to contact the Holy Light Continent, but a means to divert the attention of the Demon Lord.
But this cemetery is really an altar.
The nobles who were used to sacrifice did not sacrifice to the Holy Light Continent, but to the Abyss to help her resurrect.
This kind of evil method is the biggest secret of her being able to live for so many years, and it is difficult to be killed or caught.
She had done this twice in the past hundreds of years.
While establishing a space channel with the Holy Light Continent, she did not forget to arrange her back route properly.
That's why Chen Changsheng broke into the sacred and Su Li's sword came up from the sky. It really disappointed her and made her extremely painful, but it didn't make her despair.
As long as you are alive, you have a chance to make a comeback.
At that time, she was already ready to be killed by a strong human race, just waiting to be resurrected through the altar.
Who would have thought that Wang Zhice didn't intend to kill her, but only wanted to imprison her in the Jialan Temple, and even turned against the powerful human race for this.
This thing is really ironic.
The black robe was not moved, but anxious.
Mojun felt her emotions, so he tried to help Liu Qing kill her.
In name, he wanted to live and die with her, but in fact he didn't.
Although at that time the Demon Lord didn't know what the black robe wanted to do.
It can only be said that Mo Jun really loves her.
…
…
The wind howled and the snow moved slightly.
Her eyes fell on the snow, and she saw the little golden blood left in the snow.
Those are the blood of the devil.
Mo Shuai is her most trusted companion.
The body she is using now was personally selected by the Moshuai and put into this grave himself.
The black robe knew what happened to Mo Shuai afterwards.
For this, she is deeply sorry.
Until the end, Mo Shuai didn't know that she had lied to him, and she wanted to destroy even the demons.
The black robe knelt down, dipped his hand in the snow with some golden blood that had already changed color, reached out his nose, sniffed it, and then kissed it.
She stood up and walked up the snow slope.
She stayed in the tomb for many days, and didn't dare to come out until she was sure that the guard of the human army had been relaxed.
These days, she has nothing to eat except snow water, and she has to endure the severe cold, so she is very weak now.
The most important thing is that she needs to practice again now, and it will take dozens of days to be able to protect herself. As for recovering to the level of the heyday, it may take decades.
She walked slowly to the top of the snow slope, looking at the snow field in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of her slightly rotten lips.
Thinking of the severe cold and hunger she endured these days, she felt that she was really a great avenger.
In the snow field, she has prepared many hiding places and food, as long as she can walk there, she can usher in temporary safety.
She will not return to Xuelao City until she regains her strength, no, she will directly return to her long-lost homeland in the south.
She has already thought about what she should do when the time comes. Humans who have completely defeated the Demon Race will inevitably fall into internal struggles again, whether it is between the North and the South, or between the imperial court and the Li Palace, between the Human Race and the Monster Race, or even the pair of masters. There will be new conflicts between brothers.
This is the inevitability of history, and it is also the regular weapon she will use.
The vengeance will continue.
Heipao turned his head to look at Xuelaocheng, with a touch of emotion.
Stories are generally written in such a way that they have an open ending, waiting for a new chapter to appear many years later.
But today the story is different.
The black robe was about to walk down the hillside and disappear into the vast snow field.
At this moment, a snow field rose high and spread out in all directions.
A very tall demon stood up from the snow, and the shadow fell on the face of the black robe.
The black robe only took one look, and he was sure that it should be a member of the Daguai family.
The problem is that no matter how you look at it, this demon is already dead, it is a corpse, but because of the recent cold weather, it has not rotted, like a zombie.
How could the zombie stand up from the bottom of the cemetery, and then pounce on itself
The black robe looked at the corpse that was getting closer and closer, his pupils shrank, and he thought to himself what the hell is this
If it was before, the black robe could turn this corpse into powder with just a flick of its sleeves, or even just a glance.
But now she has lost all her cultivation and is very weak. She doesn't have this ability at all, and she can't do it even if she wants to avoid it.
boom! The tall demon corpse directly pressed on Heipao's body, pushing her to the snow.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or on purpose, there was a hard stone in the snow that just hit her neck.
There was a soft snap.
The cervical spine of the black robe was broken, and the blood slowly flowed out, gradually staining the snow red.
She opened her eyes wide, looking at the gray sky, full of anger and despair, and a touch of bewilderment.
At this moment, she couldn't even blow away the snowflakes that were about to fall in her eyes, let alone push away the heavy demon corpse.
She could only helplessly wait for death to come.
After a while, the heavy demon corpse rolled aside by itself.
Accompanied by a chirping sound, a crack appeared in the chest and abdomen of the corpse, and a person slowly crawled out from it.
The man was wearing very thin clothes, with blood and stains all over his body, very thin, pale, and emitting a foul smell.
I don't know if he had exhausted his last strength, the man was panting heavily, lying motionless on the snow, right next to the black robe.
The black robe turned his head with some difficulty, looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The man's voice was very low and hoarse, because he hadn't drunk water for several days.
"My name is Zhexiu."
Heipao knew who Zhexiu was and remained silent.
The cold wind whizzed past on the snow slope, and there were cavalry passing by in the distance, but no one noticed that on the top of the snow slope, two people were lying quietly side by side.
If someone looks down from a high altitude, they may feel that this picture is a bit beautiful, they look like a couple who died in love.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
After an unknown amount of time, the black robe sighed faintly and asked, "How did you know?"
The question is naturally how Zhexiu guessed that she would use this corpse in the cemetery to be resurrected.
Zhexiu said: "I don't know what you want to do, but when I came to this cemetery, I happened to see you there."
At that time, the human army was about to break through Xuelao City. At such a tense moment, the injured black robe still had the mood to come to this cemetery, which showed that this cemetery was very important to her.
The black robe said: "So you have been waiting here for my return?"
Zhexiu said: "Yes."
The black robe said: "Didn't you ever think that your thinking might be wrong?"
She was killed by Liu Qing in the Demon Palace that night, and her spirit escaped with the power of the altar, but she did not leave in a hurry, and hid in the cemetery very carefully for dozens of days.
She couldn't think of anyone who was more patient than herself.
What's more, Zhexiu has no reason to endure so many days in this cemetery for a deduction.
Zhexiu said: "I am not needed in other places, I am suitable to do some things to fill in the gaps."
The black robe said: "What if I never show up? Are you going to wait forever? Until you become a real zombie in the end?"
Zhexiu said: "No, I will leave naturally when I confirm that you will not come back here."
The black robe asked: "How do you confirm?"
Zhexiu said: "When hunting, the most important thing is not experience, but intuition."
The black robe said: "What if your intuition is wrong?"
Zhexiu said: "Not every time you hunt, you will be able to catch the prey, just come again next time."
The black robe thought for a while and said, "It makes sense."
…
…
The news of Zhexiu's reappearance quickly spread to Kyoto, and the more secretive news followed.
It wasn't until he read the contents of the letter that Chen Changsheng realized that the black robe hadn't died, but died in Zhexiu's hands. Honor, for the sake of all considerations, it's better to pretend that this episode didn't happen.
So Liu Qing still thought that the black robe died under his own sword, and felt that he had no more professional pursuits. After confirming that the imperial court and the Li Palace did not require him to inquire about Cao Yunping, under the witness of Xu Yourong and Archbishop Yu Lin, he was very happy. He peacefully ended his career as a killer and began his old age.
Chen Changsheng went to Beibing Masi Hutong and met with King Chen Liu.
At this time, King Chen Liu naturally had no need to hide anything, he was calm with a bit of arrogance, without any consciousness of being a prisoner. Looking at the unfamiliar face of this once familiar friend, Chen Changsheng finally understood why Tang Thirty-Six had always disliked him.
——Chen Liuwang is a very calm and sober person. He lives very clearly and knows what he wants to pursue in his life, so his desire will appear very open and aboveboard, which can also be understood as nakedness. It was calm, and this was the hypocrisy that Tang Thirty-Six disliked the most.
King Chen Liu looked into Chen Changsheng's eyes and said, "In another history, maybe I won in the end."
Chen Changsheng said, "Maybe, because I didn't exist in that history."
…
…
Four years ago, a crabapple tree was replanted in the small courtyard in Beibingmasi Hutong.
Two years ago, the restoration project of Tianshu Mausoleum was officially completed. The river embankments and bluestone roads that were destroyed in the war more than ten years ago and the conflict ten years ago have all been repaired. Thanks to the careful construction of skilled craftsmen, there is no particularly brand-new feeling, and some meanings of repairing the old as old.
Looking at Qinglin, Wang Po thought of Xun Mei.
He walked on the way of God, and no one came to stop him.
The gazebo has collapsed and has not been rebuilt, the history is dead, and there are no mausoleum guards here.
He walked to the top of the peak, looked at the wordless stele, and was silent for a long time.
He turned around and looked at the capital below the mausoleum, and finally his eyes fell on the imperial palace.
It's a cool autumn.
He turned and left.
Never been to Kyoto again.
…
…
Chen Changsheng came to the palace and told the others about Wang Po's departure.
The expressions of the rest remained unchanged, but the expressions of General Heming and the ministers were obviously much more relaxed.
After everyone withdrew, Yu Cai made his own comments on this matter or Wang Po.
"He who has the common people in his heart is a true scholar of the country."
Chen Changsheng's heart was a little heavy. Wang Po's departure reminded him of Shang Xingzhou's life.
"Master also wants to do one thing in this life. If he is still alive now, he will definitely be very happy, but maybe... it will be very empty."
"Maybe."
Yu Ren didn't finish speaking, looked at the piece of paper on the case, shook his head and said: "The pen is wrong, rewrite it a hundred times."
The little Taoist priest, who had always resisted the calligraphy class, looked at Chen Changsheng pitifully, his eyes filled with water, and shouted: "Senior brother..."
Back in the old temple in Xining Town, if Yu Ren and Chen Changsheng made mistakes in silent writing, they would be punished.
Chen Changsheng had seen such scenes too many times. He reached out and touched the little Taoist priest's head, and said with a smile, "He's a senior brother, and I want to listen to him too."
Yu Ren said: "So, leaving at the right time is a very good thing."
This is the answer to what Chen Changsheng said just now.
Because of the suddenness, Chen Changsheng was taken aback before answering.
"Yes."
