Chen Changsheng walked for a while in the wetlands outside the grassland, glanced at the reed island, and then went to the cave. In the deepest part of the cave, he saw the bones of the Sanyang sect elder who had been eaten clean by the beasts.
Then he went to Muling, walked slowly on the white stone mountain road in the mountain, and came to a sycamore tree.
He didn't know that he was going to come under this sycamore tree, but he just followed that feeling.
But there was no one here either.
There is no one in Zhouyuan.
not a single one.
Finally he returned to Zhou Lingqian. The majestic mausoleum is still so majestic between heaven and earth. The celestial book steles around the mausoleum have long lost the violent and terrifying atmosphere of that day, and have become very calm. The lines on the surface, whether they have been refilled by the wind and sand these days or have been obliterated, have disappeared, as if they have changed back to the original stone pillars.
The same is true for the black stele, the surface of which is smooth.
Chen Changsheng put his hand on it, and in the grassland far behind him, there was a low howling sound of a monster.
That is farewell, but also anxiety and begging.
Welcome the departure of the new owner of Zhou Garden, worry about whether he will come back, and beg for his favor to come again sooner.
…
…
There was darkness, then light.
Chen Changsheng opened his eyes, and found himself in the room, still in front of the window, unchanged from before.
It's just that it's already noon, and the sun is hanging in the blue sky. No matter how hard the shade trees in the Orthodox Academy try, they can't stop those blazing rays of light from falling.
The light he saw was the sun.
Then he noticed an extra string of beads on his wrist.
No matter how you look at those beads, they are all made of the most common stone frosted, without any decoration on the surface, and there is no smell, and the surface is not even smooth.
He didn't know that this string of stone beads had also appeared on the bowl in his hand when he faced Zhu Luo's sword in Xunyang City.
These stone beads are formed from the Heavenly Book Stele.
Because there are eleven stone beads in this string, ten are gray and one is black.
At that time, Zhou Dufu probably took away twelve steles of Tianshu from the Mausoleum of Heavenly Books, but what he and she saw in Zhou Mausoleum later were only ten, and the base of one broken stele.
It was precisely because of the lack of a Tianshu stele, and he took away the sword pool that replaced the Tianshu stele, so Zhou Ling's formation went wrong, until he remembered that he had a black stone on his body.
He got that black stone in Lingyan Pavilion, and it was actually a tablet of heavenly script.
When the black stone from Wang Zhice really turned into a stele of heavenly script and helped the array of stele of stele of heavenly script around Zhou Mausoleum to stabilize again, he thought that the black stone was a stele of heavenly scripture that Wang Zhice took away from the Zhou Garden. After leaving Zhou Garden, recalling the notebook he saw in Lingyan Pavilion, he felt that his guess might not be accurate.
No matter where those two celestial book tablets went, these stone beads on his wrist are the celestial book tablets.
Of course, not only because the eleven stone beads, ten gray and one black, coincided with the steles of the heavenly scriptures around Zhou Ling, but also because only he could sense certain things through that black stone.
He sensed very clearly that Zhou Yuan was inside the black stone.
This kind of statement is not accurate, it should be said that this black stone is the new gate of Zhou Garden, and the key to open Zhou Garden is his consciousness.
He raised his hand subconsciously, and looked at the string of stone beads seriously against the sunlight outside the window.
The bright light penetrated through the gaps of the stone beads and changed into more angles. In some subtle places, it seemed that there was a rainbow inside.
Only then did he truly understand what had happened.
In the eyes of the world, the Heavenly Book Stele, which is the source of all Taoism, is extremely sacred, but he actually wore it on his hand.
Moreover, it is eleven.
The sun shone on the stone beads and shot into his eyes, making him a little dazed, feeling that everything seemed unreal.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
He looked back, only to see Tang Thirty-Six and Xuanyuan Po.
"Where the hell did that idiot go?"
"How do I know... His Royal Highness Mr. Luo Luo wanted me to keep an eye on him, but he was fine and ran away without saying a word. Why should I keep an eye on him?"
Xuanyuan Po said aggrievedly, and then saw Chen Changsheng's figure together with Tang Thirty-Six.
After a moment of silence, Tang Thirty-Six patted his chest, and said with some fear: "It's okay, okay, I won't ask where you went, as long as you don't run away."
Chen Changsheng asked in confusion, "Why should I run?"
"You disappeared for half a day for no reason..."
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and said, "We are all wondering if we heard that Xu Yourong is coming back. You were afraid that your nose would be bruised and your face swollen from being beaten by your fiancée, so you ran away."
Xuanyuan Po repeatedly waved his hands and said, "I didn't say that."
Tang Thirty-Six looked at him and said with a sneer, "Do you dare to say that you don't think so?"
Xuanyuan Po was a very honest kid from the bear tribe, and he didn't say a word after hearing this question for a long time.
Chen Changsheng was slightly startled, and said: "I just mentioned her, and I remembered something, who of you can help me write a letter to the East Royal God General's Mansion?"
Tang Thirty-Six was surprised and said, "The mud-footed son-in-law came to the door? My daughter hasn't come back yet, why are you so anxious?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "I want to visit at night, there are some things I want to talk about."
"You're not really afraid of Xu Yourong, are you going to make an outside move?"
Tang Thirty-Six became interested and said, "You should ask me about this kind of thing first, you know that I am best at these things."
Chen Changsheng smiled, ignored him, walked out the door, and said, "I'll go eat first."
A few days ago, Luoluo told him that after confirming that the girl did not leave Zhou Yuan alive, he said that he would go to Dong Yushen General's Mansion to divorce her engagement. Because this was what he had promised her in Zhou Yuanli back then, since she was no longer here, of course he had to do it even more. The reason why he didn't go to the East Imperial General's Mansion these days is because he has been busy recently, because he left an important and necessary thing in the Zhou Garden, and at the same time, he still has the last ray of hope in his heart.
She failed to leave Zhou Garden, or she is still in Zhou Garden. Since Zhou Garden has not been destroyed, then she may still be alive.
Until last night and this morning, he finally re-entered the Zhou Garden, and found that there was no one inside, no one, no that person, so the last hope was gone.
He brought that out, too, by the way.
Seeing Chen Changsheng's back disappearing through the door, Tang Thirty-Six was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you think he's weird today?"
Xuanyuan Po was puzzled and asked: "Where is it strange?"
Tang Thirty-Six said: "His smile is a bit weird... it's ugly."
Xuanyuan Po thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, I laughed like I was crying."
