Assassin 3 Wind and Live
Chapter 41 Extra Story 3 Zhi Ming
Among the rulers of Nakagaki's generation, it can be said that there is no luckier than Zhiming.Tianquan is rich and prosperous, Zhiming is the only son of the previous king of Tianquan, and he has no brother who wants his life all the time. In the face of foreign aggression, it is not a problem to be a conservative king and live a stable life.But Zhiming is not very satisfied with his situation. He has no interest in the kingship, but he has to be bound by the throne for the rest of his life. He loves honey and we love each other. Zhiming sometimes thinks, if he is like the other kingdoms If the Lord is so single-minded about conquering the world, his life will definitely be more interesting, but it's a pity that he doesn't.
Zhiming has always presented himself as a foolish king who is just waiting to die since he succeeded to the throne. Firstly, there is really nothing for him to worry about in state affairs, and secondly, this is indeed his nature.If someone really wanted to be an enemy of Tianquan, wouldn't his actions confuse the enemy?So he took Mo Lan around all day with peace of mind to play with the chickens and dogs, and had a great time playing. He thought to himself that since he will be bound by this for the rest of his life, he should have a good time playing in this small world so that this life will not be in vain.Day after day and year after year, Zhi Ming realized that he had really become a fool, but so what?Tianquan is not the same. The weather is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the flames of war in Zhongyuan are still kept out of Yuzhao Pass, and not even a spark has drifted over.
It wasn't until Mo Lan presented the co-lord's jade seal that Zhi Ming finally became aware that neither Tianquan nor himself could survive alone.Zhiming is in the palace, but he knows the situation of the world by heart, all the countries in Zhongyuan, big and small, are constantly fighting, and the Jade Seal of Juntian Co-lord is one of the targets for all countries to compete for, just like competing for the world.What kind of coincidence was it that this jade seal fell into the hands of Mo Lan, the little county lord?Was it really a coincidence that it finally appeared in front of him?Or the temptation of someone with a heart?He dropped the thing without thinking too much. First of all, it is useless for him to come here, but it will bring him endless troubles for Tian Quan. If someone is really watching in secret, his attitude will also explain everything. The world has no intention.It would be best for the people in the dark to stop here. If not, Tianquan has money and food, and not only money and food.
The arrival of Murongli adds a touch of color to Zhiming's peaceful life, not only his supernatural appearance and peerless Xiao Yi, but also his calm temperament, which is in stark contrast to the red clothes, an actor. However, he possesses the talent of governing the world, and everything reveals that his life experience is extraordinary.Everything related to Mu Rongli has a fatal attraction to Zhi Ming who has been trapped within the four palace walls for many years. Since then, Zhi Ming's life has changed from eating and waiting to die, dragging Mo Lan to do anything wrong, to eating and waiting to die La Murongli is acting out of control, unfortunately Murongli is not willing to play with him.As time goes by, Zhi Ming can't see Murong Li's unsmiling face more and more. He, the king who has been imprisoned for life, is happy every day, but Murong Li, who comes and goes freely, always seems to have endless sorrow, yes , Sorrow, not visible on the surface, but continuously leaked out from his flute, seeping into the bones, even the listeners felt heavy hearted, Zhi Ming couldn't bear it, so he often tried every means to make him happy.
Zhiming speculates that Murong Li may be a son of a famous family who has fallen into poverty, may be someone sent to monitor the secret work that harmed him, or may be a prince living abroad in some country, no matter what, he must have the right to hide his identity and stay in heaven But it doesn't matter, as long as he is in the territory of Tianquan, it is not a problem to protect him for the rest of his life. He thinks he is not a stingy person. What he is reluctant to give.After a long time, Zhi Ming discovered that he didn't seem to value this life that much.
When Murong Li left, Zhi Ming tried his best to restrain himself and did not stop him. He himself was restricted by the throne, and he did not want to be done to others. In this world, he does not want it, so what Murong Li wants, he will never He would know, even so, how could he trap Murongli here.Since Murongli mentioned Tianxia in front of him, he also has the intention of a showdown, and his identity is ready to be revealed.
Zhiming watched Murong Li gain a firm foothold step by step in the residence, establish a county and restore the country, and he was very happy that Murong Li finally got his wish.But he didn't want to make good fortune and trick others. Zhiming, who had never experienced intrigue since childhood, was caught off guard by the enemy in the dark. The Taifu who grew up with him died, and Ziyu also died. Tianquan was devastated after several wars. He almost turned against Murong Li, but fortunately, Mo Lan came in time, so he didn't have irreversible consequences on his impulse. He didn't dare to think, if Mo Lan didn't come, what would he do to Murong Li who went out of the city alone to meet the enemy? Fortunately, no matter whether it is Murong Li or the common people, he still has a chance to redeem and make amends.At that time, Zhi Ming never thought that he would lose his life for this.
On the night when Murong Li dreamed that Zhi Ming was assassinated and died, Zhi Ming also had a dream, a nightmare.Zhi Ming dreamed that after the sacrifice to save the undead, the eight swords were all destroyed, and the star inscription was also broken due to repeated heavy blows.On Zhiming's chest, the Xingming sword wound that had disappeared appeared and disappeared, and every time it appeared, he would feel a sharp pain like tearing, as if the wound that had healed was torn open along the old wound, the pain was utterly painful Heart and lungs, while losing a lot of blood, his body gradually weakened.Murong Li blamed himself very much for this, the star inscription had been destroyed, Feng Nai was helpless, it was useless to post up the emperor's list and search for famous doctors all over the world, no one could heal a wound that was elusive.Not long after, he died, and since then, Murong Li has been living in guilt.The following year, on the anniversary of Zhiming's death, Murong Li waved away the crowd as usual, and came to worship him alone, took the wine from the altar, got drunk, was unsteady when he got up, slipped, and knocked his forehead on his forehead. On the corner of the altar table, blood was streaming down his face, the drunk Murong Li didn't call for help, he didn't know whether it was powerless or inadvertent, he watched Murong Li struggling to get up, leaning against the altar table, and then he didn't move again, he just died like this up.Zhi Ming shouted for help, but the people waiting outside seemed to be deaf, and no one responded.He wanted to help Murong Li up, but his hands passed through Murong Li's body, he was already dead, he couldn't do anything.
"If Xing Ming is destroyed, this will be your end, Zhi Ming..."
Zhi Ming turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a young man in red, both in appearance and voice, he was very similar to Murong Li, but he did not mistake him, because this man was like Murong Li when he first entered the palace a few years ago, Therefore, Zhi Ming didn't feel offended when he was called by his first name.
"who are you?"
The young man didn't answer the specified question, and said to himself: "The priest of Feng Nai needs to use the star inscription to destroy all the remaining instruments, and the star inscription will definitely be damaged."
"What if there is no sacrifice?"
"More than 3 resentful spirits scattered into Zhongyuan, so there will naturally be some casualties." There was no trace of disturbance on the boy's face, as if the chaos in the world had nothing to do with him. Seeing that Zhiming's face darkened, he said with a smile: "Others may not understand you." , but I know that you are not a person who values other people's lives. Your life, the life of Lord Murong, and the lives of those who have nothing to do with people in the world are more important, please think carefully about it."
"Who the hell are you? Why are you so similar to Murong Li?"
The young man stretched out his hand and caressed the side of his face, revealing a shallow smile that was almost exactly the same as Murong Li's. Zhi Ming had worked so hard to make Murong Li smile in the past, but now seeing this long-lost smile, he just felt extremely unsuitable.
"Zhiming, I'm telling the truth."
After Zhiming woke up, Ben was still rejoicing that it was just a nightmare, but suddenly felt a little wet on his chest, opened the front of his shirt, and found that the snow-white jacket was stained with a small spot of blood, which was exactly where his chest was.Zhi Ming felt a chill down his spine, was what he saw in the dream real?
Then, a few days later, something even weirder happened.
At first Zhiming didn't notice anything unusual, he took a rest in the afternoon, and when he woke up, no one brought lunch, he thought it was still early and he was not in good spirits, so he fell asleep again not long after.When he woke up again, the sun had already started to set to the west, and someone should have brought meals and soup over in the past.Zhi Ming slept for most of the day, and was a little hungry, so he got up by himself, but no one answered when he called.Walking outside, the room was dark, no one was lighting the lamp, and the tea on the table was completely cold.Zhiming himself found a fire book and lit the lamp. Only then did he realize that the surroundings were a bit too quiet. It would be quieter in winter without the singing of birds and insects, but there must be some wind noise.Zhi Ming walked around the residence suspiciously, the side hall that used to be heavily guarded was empty at the moment except himself, there were no guards, no palace people, he listened carefully, there was no sound around, as if he was the only one in the huge palace at the moment people.Zhi Ming suddenly began to worry that something happened in the palace, so he hurried to Murong Li's study, where Murong Li should be reviewing the memorial in the study.But when I got to the study, I found that it was also dark and empty.
Not only the study room, but also the main hall and the bedroom. He began to feel fear in his heart, and he quickened his pace to search around the palace. He almost turned around the entire palace, but he didn't meet a single person.Zhi Ming finally confirmed that there was really no one in the palace.When passing by the imperial dining room, Zhi Ming smelled a tempting aroma of food. There were dozens of dishes on the table in the dining room. When he touched the plate, it was still very hot. He was already hungry at the moment, so he hurried to eat first. something.From the corner of the eye, he suddenly noticed that there was still soup stewing on the stove beside him, and there were some half-cooked dishes in the nearby pots, and the fire on the stove was still burning.
With a "click", the chopsticks in Zhi Ming's hand fell to the ground. Even if his ten fingers did not touch Yang Chunshui, he still has some common sense, not to mention that it is impossible for the imperial chef to leave with the fire on in the middle of cooking. He has already entered for two sticks of incense , the dishes in the pot should have been burnt, but at this moment, there is no change at all, not only no burnt, even water vapor and oily smoke have not risen, as if everything is still.
"Zhi Ming, it's not a dream this time."
Murong Li's voice came leisurely from behind.
Zhi Ming turned around and saw the boy who looked exactly like Murong Li again.
"Zhi Ming, if Xing Ming is destroyed and you are not dead, this is your end."
"What do you mean?"
The young man replied: "You should have died under the sword of the Lord Murong, and your life was saved because of the star inscription, but from now on, you are no longer from here, and your life is connected with the star inscription, if the star inscription is damaged, the sword wound Then you will return to the original state. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will also be taken away from the human world together with the resentful spirit when you are sealed and sacrificed. in the midst of old age and death."
"A world between gaps? What do you mean?" Zhi Ming's heart sank a little bit, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
The young man walked around Zhiming slowly, and said, "This is the place."
Seeing that Zhiming was still ignorant, he glanced around and repeated again: "It's here."
This time, Zhiming understood, "this is here" means "here", being taken away from the human world but still in the human world, isolated from the world of the living, in this cracked world, time stagnates, everything is still Yes, looking back at the table of dishes, the tableware he had just used returned to its original position at some point, and a large table of dishes also returned to its original state, but he could clearly feel that he was indeed full.
"They're all here, you just can't see them..."
There was a strange musical sound in his ear, and Zhi Ming was overjoyed. The musical sound meant that there were other people here. He couldn't recognize what kind of musical instrument it was, and he didn't know where it came from. He was listening carefully to identify the boy on the opposite side. Suddenly he collapsed to the ground with a grim face, as if he was enduring great pain.
"It's him again! Here it comes again..."
"Who's here again?"
The boy gritted his teeth and said a name: "Feng Hui..."
The boy struggled for a while, then stood up abruptly, grabbing Zhiming with one hand.Zhi Ming felt dizzy for a while, the surrounding scenery changed completely, he returned to the side hall where he lived, the oil lamp he lit when he went out was still on, and he held the star inscription in his hand.Through the window, he noticed a flash of fire in the distance, and was about to go out to find out, but passed out due to exhaustion.
When Zhi Ming woke up, he was lying on his bed safely. Murong Li was arranging his clothes. He found a little blood on the front of his clothes. He looked at Murong Li's expression and found nothing unusual, but Murong Li simply said A few questions made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. In the past half a day, he walked around every corner of the palace, and no one could see him. This once again confirmed the boy's words. He was indeed in the so-called cracked world at that time.Zhi Ming didn't know whether he should tell Murong Li, this was too absurd and bizarre.
Later, Zhi Ming deliberately avoided Murong Li and met Feng Nai, the legendary descendant of alchemist. He believed that this person would be able to solve his doubts.When the two met, Feng Nai's actions made Zhi Ming's heart sink to the bottom.After the screen retreated to the left and right, Feng Hui actually knelt down in front of Zhi Ming.This kneeling is for the common people in the world, begging Zhiming to die.
Zhi Ming looked at Feng Hui who was kneeling in front of him and thought it was ridiculous, just as the young man said, Zhi Ming is not a person who values other people's lives, he drank poisonous wine for the Tai Tuo, and blocked the sword with his body for Murong Li, just because he He valued these two people, and Zhi Ming could do everything for the people he valued, but for the sake of others, forgive him for not being able to do so.Zhiming once made palace people jump down from a high platform with kites on their backs, was able to fight sheep and throw palace people for fun, and beat and punished painters for unreasonable troubles, which is enough to show that in his eyes human life is cheap.The common people in the world?The position of the ruler of Tianquan is not what Zhiming wanted, but it is a responsibility that cannot be shirked. After several wars in Tianquan, he felt ashamed in his heart, ashamed of the entrustment of Tianquan's ancestors, and ashamed of the Taifu who taught him since he was a child. He is also ashamed of the people of Tianquan who have suffered from wars because of his stupidity. He has to force himself to take up the responsibility of a country leader. Isn't that enough?Do you want him to die for the throne that bound him all his life?Why?
Zhi Ming sneered and said, "Although the world is important, this king still values his own life more."
Feng Hui's forehead touched the ground, and he didn't raise his head, but his words made Zhi Ming's smile freeze: "Xingming is in the hands of Lord Murong, how do you think he will make a choice?"
Zhi Ming knew that Murong Li was different from him. The current Murong Li was not his A Li, but a wise king who always put the overall interests of the world first. It was not difficult to guess what choice he would make, no matter what No matter how painful and difficult the process is, the ending is doomed.
"It's just a matter of one sentence for me to get Xing Ming back."
"For what reason do you intend to take it back?"
Zhi Ming was silent, Murong Li had asked him before he decided to hold the sacrifice, and he agreed at that time, how important this sacrifice is, if he didn't have a decent reason, how would he persuade Murong Li to return the sword?To come back is to disregard the common people in the world, what kind of reason can convince Murong Li?
Seeing that Zhiming was silent, Feng Hui raised his head and smiled, "Master Zhiming may have underestimated the friendship between the two of you. Based on what I know about Lord Murong, as long as you tell the truth, Lord Murong will definitely return the sword."
Zhi Ming looked at Feng Hui, waiting for his next words.
"Master Zhiming, do you know what those resentful spirits are doing at this time?"
Zhi Ming thought for a while and shook his head. Naturally, he was harming others, but he didn't need to know this, it was enough for him to know that he didn't want to die.
"Does the Lord not want to see it? Or can't bear to watch it?" Feng Hui saw through Zhi Ming's thoughts at a glance, and continued: "Does the Lord know how many people there are in the Zhongyuan Continent?"
Seeing that Zhiming didn't answer, Feng Nai asked again: "Does the lord know how those tens of thousands of spirit envoys scattered around harmed people? How many deaths and injuries can they cause every day?"
There are tens of millions of people in Zhongyuan Li, and the number of resentful spirits is nearly [-]. Although Zhiming has never seen resentful spirits harming people with his own eyes, he has read a lot of books about folk gods and ghosts. The reality will only be more cruel. He didn't want to die, and he didn't care too much about life and death that had nothing to do with others, but the number of lives was too heavy, and he couldn't say the words of rejection for a while.
Seeing that Zhiming was silent, Feng Hui continued to ask: "Does the Lord know that the Lord Murong is also haunted by resentful spirits?"
"What did you say?" Zhi Ming asked in surprise.
"That day, the resentful spirits scattered all over the battlefield, and the Yaoguang army suffered heavy casualties. You were already extinct after being pierced through the chest by Xing Ming's sword. The Lord Murong himself had just recovered from a serious illness and suffered new injuries. It was the time when the physical and mental defenses were the weakest. Xing Ming didn't want to protect him, so the resentful spirit took advantage of it."
"Why doesn't Xing Ming want to protect him?" Zhi Ming just felt it was unbelievable, Xing Ming is just an object, even if it has a spirit, it should obey the master's order, and can make up its own mind?
"Murong Li wants to destroy Xing Ming, so Xing Ming will naturally not protect him anymore."
Zhi Ming frowned, listening to Feng Nai's words, this Xing Ming had really become a spirit, and asked: "Is there a way to save it?"
"Naturally there is."
Zhi Ming was about to listen, but Feng Hui kept his mouth shut. As soon as he was about to speak, he realized that there was a way to save him.It's not that there are other ways, but Feng Yi in front of him has obviously chosen this one.
Seeing Zhi Ming hesitated, Feng Nai smiled and said: "The Lord doesn't have to worry, the Lord Murong's mind will naturally not be easily shaken by the resentful spirits, and there will be no serious problems for a while."
Zhiming heard Feng Nai's intention to threaten him with Murong Li. This is the most hated thing in his life, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Do you think this king deserves to die? For Murong Li? If he hadn't stabbed this king, this king would have died." Why this?"
Murong Li's sword almost killed Zhi Ming, but Zhi Ming saw the scene at that time, there was no killing intent in Murong Li's eyes, and then the wound disappeared strangely, Zhi Ming was even more sure that there must be something strange in it.Afterwards his health deteriorated a lot, and Murong Li blamed himself very much for this, so he didn't ask any more questions, so he still doesn't know the reason.
"The lord thinks that the sword was stabbed by the lord Murong?" Feng Hui was a little surprised.
"Is not it?"
Feng Hui was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid the Lord Murong also thought that he had missed his shot."
Seeing that Zhiming was still unclear, Feng Hui explained: "I'm afraid the Lord made a mistake. Lord Murong stabbed you to save you. With Lord Murong's skills, how could he be so careless? Most likely Xing Ming did it for the sake of you." Protect yourself and confuse the Lord Murong, Xing Ming will hit your chest, and that wound is the handle in his hands, your life and death will be linked with Xing Ming, so naturally you will not easily destroy the sword."
Zhi Ming didn't expect it to be like this, Xing Ming, who has fought side by side for many years, was the cause of the trouble. Yes, even if Xing Ming protects the Lord and becomes a spirit, he still has different intentions.
"The lord must have seen Xing Ming, right?"
Zhi Ming immediately thought of the young man who had told Xing Ming the consequences of the damage many times in his dream, Zhi Ming nodded, and said, "I should have seen it before, but I don't know who that sword spirit was before he was alive? He looks very similar to Lord Murong."
Feng Hui thought for a while, and said: "The sword spirit is not necessarily the soul of the master after death. There is a kind of sword spirit, which is the original spirit. Due to some kind of opportunity, it can absorb the vitality of others, just like the legendary mountain spirit. Like a goblin, the appearance of the incarnation is changeable, Xi's incarnation is the appearance of the person who can make people relax their vigilance, Xing Ming is mostly of this kind."
Zhi Ming understood instantly, the most let him relax his vigilance, isn't it Murong Li?
"This star inscription has attempted to confuse Lord Murong many times in vain, but was stopped by my subordinates. If Lord Murong knew that the price of the sacrifice was your life, he would definitely not agree to it, and he might have killed me directly."
"Then why did you tell this king?"
"If the lord doesn't ask, I won't say it, but since the lord asks, practitioners can't speak nonsense. Besides, I feel that the lord's life should still be in his own hands."
Zhi Ming looked directly into Feng Hui's eyes, and he found that this seemed to be the first time this person looked at him directly. At this moment, he had an illusion that Feng Hui looked at him with full respect, as if he was looking at a dead person.
After Feng Nai left, Zhi Ming made a decision without hesitation for too long.He has no choice but to sacrifice his own life to save the lives of tens of thousands of people he has never met. He couldn't do it, but if he was asked to kill thousands of people to save himself, he couldn't do it either. Besides, And Ah Li... This is a dead end, but now, he has no choice but to sit and wait for death.
After making up his mind, Zhi Ming began to arrange everything behind him.He is not worried about Tianquan, he has left an imperial edict earlier, which can be used just in time, and Murong Li will not have any problems when he takes over.Not long after, Murong Li became the master of Zhongyuan. I'm afraid this is not what he wanted, but life can't always be as one wishes.However, Murong Li had just cleaned up the court, and it was the time when there was a shortage of people, and most of Tianquan were old-fashioned officials. If he was gone, he might not be able to help wholeheartedly. The person who has been behind the scenes for many years, who has played with the countries on the applause with his own strength, and made him and Murong Li almost turn against each other.Now King Mengzhang was rescued by Murong Li, and Murong Li became the benefactor of this calamity, if he can be used for his own use, he will be even more powerful.Zhiming thought of Ziyu's tragic death again, and felt guilty. He had sworn to cut his enemy to pieces, but now he could only break his promise, so let him go and plead guilty to Ziyu himself.
Suppressing the venomous hatred in his heart, Zhi Ming persuaded Murong Li to reuse Zhong Kunyi as if nothing had happened.Finally, Zhi Ming thought of a thorny question. Xing Ming's sword was a fatal wound, and he probably couldn't escape. If Murong Li knew that he died from that sword wound, the rest of his life would be like a dream. He regretted what he saw for the rest of his life, which he didn't want to see.Zhiming thought over and over again, and came up with a good idea. He picked one of the dead men with the best swordsmanship to follow him at all times, pretended to assassinate him after his death, and stabbed the sword into his chest. At that time, Murong Li thought that he was assassinated and died, and the sadness probably passed for a while.
Zhiming bid farewell to Murong Li and returned to Tianquan, and began to arrange Tianquan affairs without stopping.Since he didn't have many days left, he no longer had any scruples, and announced Mo Lan to enter the palace every day after he had dealt with the country's affairs, drinking and having fun with him, often all night long.A group of senior ministers and imperial doctors advised him to rest on time every day, so as to recuperate his body, and he almost knelt down in court.Zhiming was coping with it on the surface, but he smiled wryly in his heart, this life is going to be gone, so what's the point of recuperating the body?After all, I can't wait for the time when I am old and eighty and sick.So Zhiming ignored everyone's dissuasion and intensified his fun, so let him live a more wanton life in his last days.
Knowing that Murong Li was going to come to Yuzhao Mountain to set up an altar to sacrifice, Zhi Ming got drunk and parted for many days, he already missed Murong Li a little bit, and soon it will be a farewell, but this time Murong Li came, but it was a reminder of.Zhi Ming didn't show the slightest bit in front of Murong Li, otherwise all previous efforts would be in vain.The only thing he can do is to drag Murong Li to play with him. This is the last New Year's Eve they spend together, and it is also his last New Year's Eve.
During the sacrifice, Murong Li still had doubts about Xing Ming's warning, because the dream was interrupted by Bo Ling's piano sound several times, so he didn't ask Feng Hui, worried that something might happen and he didn't want Zhi Ming to go, but Zhi Ming knew This farewell may never be seen again, and besides, he still can't see through that person Feng Nai, and he doesn't feel relieved if he doesn't see it with his own eyes.Zhi Ming didn't expect that his body would have problems before the sacrifice was over, and he didn't expect Murong Li to jump into the weird flames to interrupt the sacrifice when he saw something happened to him.When Zhi Ming was knocked down by Murong Li's bloody fist, it was the first time he realized how important he was to Murong Li's heart. It was probably more important than the punch that landed on the side of his face and almost dislocated his jaw. heavier.
Later, when Yuzhao Mountain collapsed and Murong Li fell into a coma due to Yinhuo's injuries, Feng Nai went to Zhiming again and told him two things. One was that Xingming's breath was dissipating and his days were numbered; Phagocytosis, if not dealt with in time, will endanger life. Even if it is cured, it will definitely affect the life expectancy and ruin the luck of the second half of life. Zhiming is neither the living nor the dead. He has a special constitution. Going to Zhi Ming's body will not only save Murong Li's life, but also will not harm Zhi Ming, but the imprint of the blood sample will also be transferred to Zhi Ming's body, which will be unsightly.Feng Hui didn't say anything later, but Zhiming knew in his heart that Murong Li was going to become the co-lord of the world in the future, and the hideous blood mark on his body was indeed an eyesore, and he didn't have much time left, so he Do not care about these.
Zhi Ming couldn't figure out why Feng Hui dared to make such a request to him repeatedly, wasn't he afraid that he would kill him in a fit of anger?Zhi Ming didn't bother to ask Feng Hui if there was any other way. He had an illusion that even if there were other ways, Feng Hui would have chosen this one. Zhi Ming has nothing to hesitate now, he has already felt the change in himself. , the wounds that appear and disappear from time to time, the growing sense of alienation from the world, the remaining days are numbered, so why not do one last thing for Murong Li?
Seeing that Zhiming agreed without hesitation, Feng Nai didn't look at Zhiming as indifferently as before. He was planning to go to Xunsu, to be more precise, he fled to Xunsu, moved Zhiming, offended Murong Li, When Murong Li wakes up, he will not let him go easily.Feng Nai planned to go to Xunsu to join the tribe of the Dong Ming tribe. Before he left, he told Zhiming that Xunsu had a large number of ancient books of his ancestors, and maybe he could find a way to save him.
Zhiming was very surprised when he heard the words, he always had an illusion that this person wanted to die, and it was not a good death, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to save him, he didn't believe it.After thinking about it for a while, Zhi Ming decided to go to Xi'an with Feng Nai.The blood marks on his body have already begun to appear, no matter whether he stays in Yaoguang or returns to Tianquan, someone will soon notice something strange, if it reaches Murong Li's ears, he will be able to guess something with his intelligence.Zhi Ming is also a little worried, if he stays here, looking at Murong Li who has a bright future every day, thinking of himself, who is running out of time, will eventually resent Murong Li in despair, this is something he doesn't want to see of.Going to Xunsu, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. Now that Yao Guang Tianquan is restored, he will go as an envoy. Yu Xiao is a smart person and will not move him easily. Zhongyuan million cavalry is not a vegetarian.Therefore, Zhi Ming took advantage of Murong Li's coma, secretly retrieved Xing Ming and fled with Feng Hui.Zhi Ming never expected that Murong Li would wake up, so he dragged his sick body and ran all the way to catch up. As the lord of the country, he led a mere thousand followers and broke into the enemy's border.Seeing Murong Li's situation, Zhi Ming guessed that he must have known something, or had a premonition of something, Murong Li had never made a request to him, and this may be the last time, Zhi Ming agreed to go back with him, but also gave up. The last glimmer of illusory hope.
In the end, Zhi Ming failed to make it back home. On the day he arrived at Yaoguang King City, Zhi Ming woke up and found that his carriage had stopped at the gate of Yaoguang King City. Murong Li and Yaoguang soldiers had disappeared, and only Leave yourself alone.Zhi Ming felt that he was being pulled, and unconsciously walked in a certain direction, which was the direction of the palace. When he returned to the palace, the gravitational force disappeared, and the palace was the destination.The imperial guards patrolling the palace also disappeared, the gate of Yaoguang King City was open, and there was no guard.Zhi Ming hastily climbed up the tower, overlooking the entire Yaoguang in a daze, there is no trace of people in the huge Yaoguang, he is the only one left in this world.
I don't know if Xing Ming was thinking about his old love and spared Zhi Ming's life, or he wanted to give him more cruel revenge, exile him here, and live alone in this empty place for the rest of his life.
Zhiming had expected this day, so he was not too surprised. After watching the scenery, he went back to his residence and sighed secretly. There is nothing important in life except death, but since then there will be no one to serve him. Do it yourself.
Zhiming has been troubled for a long time by washing clothes and hair. He has never done these things himself. The clothes are randomly placed in the water, wrung out, and hanged on a short tree to dry. After drying, they are crumpled like a rag. If you are pampered, you will naturally not wear it again.Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has all kinds of clothes, especially guard uniforms and military uniforms, which are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of sets, so Zhi Ming no longer struggles with how to wash clothes.But it was not easy to tie his hair. Zhi Ming tried several times with his hands behind his back, but he got messed up, so he simply gave up. He is the only one here, and no one cares about his inappropriate attire.
There are ready-made meals in the dining room at all times, and Zhi Ming will return to his original state after each meal, but he will not die of hunger, but after about half a month, he is a little tired of the same dishes.Zhi Ming also tried to cook by himself on a whim, but this time Murong Li was not there, the fate of the dining room was even worse than that of the water pavilion during the seven-day appointment, Zhi Ming quickly escaped when he saw that the situation was not good. Seeing the completely out-of-control fire, he stood there for a long time. In the billowing smoke, Zhi Ming coughed and burst into tears. In a trance, he always felt that Murong Li was following him and ran out of the kitchen together, just like the day in Shuixieli , Zhiming laughed at himself, actually began to hallucinate.
Zhi Ming sat in the distance, quietly watching the fire in the dining room, thinking, if the dining room was destroyed like this, would he just starve to death like this.Fortunately, not long after, the dining room returned to its original state as usual, and the tables were filled with steaming and exquisite meals. Zhi Ming was glad that he did not starve to death, so he hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks and sat down at the table, filling his hungry stomach. I was very hungry, and the food that had long been boring became delicious again. Fortunately, Zhi Ming slowed down the speed of cooking rice, and two tears slipped into the bowl. This is probably all the rest of his life. up.
Days passed, and his will to be bright gradually weakened. He often sat on the tower alone for a whole day, waiting for dark and dawn, maybe more than one day. He didn't know how long it had been. It was evening all the time, without the sun rising or setting.The place where he can move around is only in the palace, and he wanders around the palace all day with nothing to do. Eating the unchanging food has already made him smell the smell, and his chest feels tight and he almost feels sick. He begins to wonder if he is still alive, and then Why is he still alive? He is a little curious. If he dies, will he be resurrected again, just like the kitchen that was burnt into charcoal and restored to its original state?Zhi Ming spared his life, he didn't wipe his neck directly, but cut a small wound on his palm with a knife, the wound healed and scabbed, it took about five days, so Zhi Ming came to a conclusion that if he died, he probably wouldn't be resurrected , so this is not a recurring hell. If one day he can't bear it anymore, he can be freed at any time. Thinking of this, Zhi Ming suddenly relaxes, and still lives his days of eating and dying, waiting for the day he can't hold on. that day.
Zhi Ming originally thought that in ten days, maybe he would give up, but suddenly one day, Zhi Ming found something unusual, the sky changed, it was no longer evening, but early morning, he looked around suspiciously, When passing by the dining room, I smelled a tempting aroma of food, and the dishes in the dining room have changed!Zhiming was ecstatic in his heart, he is back!Zhi Ming immediately shouted for someone, and ran all the way to the direction of the main hall. At this time, the early morning should not be over yet, and while running, Zhi Ming's footsteps slowed down. After wandering around the palace for half a day, there was still no one here.But Zhiming was not all fruitless, he found two living creatures in the academy, snow-white little rabbits, so he brought them back to keep him company.
After another period of time, the sky darkened and turned into night. One day, Zhiming wandered around the gate of the palace alone, and suddenly heard a sound. He thought it was his own hallucination. Recently, he often had hallucinations, and always felt There are people in the palace, but after following the sound, they always come back disappointed, and gradually, they lose hope.But this time, he bumped into a group of patrolling soldiers. The soldiers seemed to be terrified when they saw him, and the blood on their faces faded instantly. Zhi Ming was also startled. He wanted to touch them to confirm whether these people were real, but the pair collapsed to the ground in fright, not daring to move.Zhi Ming grabbed the person who was retreating, and was ecstatic in his heart, he really caught it, and this time he really came back.So he got rid of the people and ran towards Murong Li's bedroom, but at this moment, the sky changed again. Zhi Ming turned his head and saw the empty city gate from a distance.
Zhiming has always presented himself as a foolish king who is just waiting to die since he succeeded to the throne. Firstly, there is really nothing for him to worry about in state affairs, and secondly, this is indeed his nature.If someone really wanted to be an enemy of Tianquan, wouldn't his actions confuse the enemy?So he took Mo Lan around all day with peace of mind to play with the chickens and dogs, and had a great time playing. He thought to himself that since he will be bound by this for the rest of his life, he should have a good time playing in this small world so that this life will not be in vain.Day after day and year after year, Zhi Ming realized that he had really become a fool, but so what?Tianquan is not the same. The weather is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the flames of war in Zhongyuan are still kept out of Yuzhao Pass, and not even a spark has drifted over.
It wasn't until Mo Lan presented the co-lord's jade seal that Zhi Ming finally became aware that neither Tianquan nor himself could survive alone.Zhiming is in the palace, but he knows the situation of the world by heart, all the countries in Zhongyuan, big and small, are constantly fighting, and the Jade Seal of Juntian Co-lord is one of the targets for all countries to compete for, just like competing for the world.What kind of coincidence was it that this jade seal fell into the hands of Mo Lan, the little county lord?Was it really a coincidence that it finally appeared in front of him?Or the temptation of someone with a heart?He dropped the thing without thinking too much. First of all, it is useless for him to come here, but it will bring him endless troubles for Tian Quan. If someone is really watching in secret, his attitude will also explain everything. The world has no intention.It would be best for the people in the dark to stop here. If not, Tianquan has money and food, and not only money and food.
The arrival of Murongli adds a touch of color to Zhiming's peaceful life, not only his supernatural appearance and peerless Xiao Yi, but also his calm temperament, which is in stark contrast to the red clothes, an actor. However, he possesses the talent of governing the world, and everything reveals that his life experience is extraordinary.Everything related to Mu Rongli has a fatal attraction to Zhi Ming who has been trapped within the four palace walls for many years. Since then, Zhi Ming's life has changed from eating and waiting to die, dragging Mo Lan to do anything wrong, to eating and waiting to die La Murongli is acting out of control, unfortunately Murongli is not willing to play with him.As time goes by, Zhi Ming can't see Murong Li's unsmiling face more and more. He, the king who has been imprisoned for life, is happy every day, but Murong Li, who comes and goes freely, always seems to have endless sorrow, yes , Sorrow, not visible on the surface, but continuously leaked out from his flute, seeping into the bones, even the listeners felt heavy hearted, Zhi Ming couldn't bear it, so he often tried every means to make him happy.
Zhiming speculates that Murong Li may be a son of a famous family who has fallen into poverty, may be someone sent to monitor the secret work that harmed him, or may be a prince living abroad in some country, no matter what, he must have the right to hide his identity and stay in heaven But it doesn't matter, as long as he is in the territory of Tianquan, it is not a problem to protect him for the rest of his life. He thinks he is not a stingy person. What he is reluctant to give.After a long time, Zhi Ming discovered that he didn't seem to value this life that much.
When Murong Li left, Zhi Ming tried his best to restrain himself and did not stop him. He himself was restricted by the throne, and he did not want to be done to others. In this world, he does not want it, so what Murong Li wants, he will never He would know, even so, how could he trap Murongli here.Since Murongli mentioned Tianxia in front of him, he also has the intention of a showdown, and his identity is ready to be revealed.
Zhiming watched Murong Li gain a firm foothold step by step in the residence, establish a county and restore the country, and he was very happy that Murong Li finally got his wish.But he didn't want to make good fortune and trick others. Zhiming, who had never experienced intrigue since childhood, was caught off guard by the enemy in the dark. The Taifu who grew up with him died, and Ziyu also died. Tianquan was devastated after several wars. He almost turned against Murong Li, but fortunately, Mo Lan came in time, so he didn't have irreversible consequences on his impulse. He didn't dare to think, if Mo Lan didn't come, what would he do to Murong Li who went out of the city alone to meet the enemy? Fortunately, no matter whether it is Murong Li or the common people, he still has a chance to redeem and make amends.At that time, Zhi Ming never thought that he would lose his life for this.
On the night when Murong Li dreamed that Zhi Ming was assassinated and died, Zhi Ming also had a dream, a nightmare.Zhi Ming dreamed that after the sacrifice to save the undead, the eight swords were all destroyed, and the star inscription was also broken due to repeated heavy blows.On Zhiming's chest, the Xingming sword wound that had disappeared appeared and disappeared, and every time it appeared, he would feel a sharp pain like tearing, as if the wound that had healed was torn open along the old wound, the pain was utterly painful Heart and lungs, while losing a lot of blood, his body gradually weakened.Murong Li blamed himself very much for this, the star inscription had been destroyed, Feng Nai was helpless, it was useless to post up the emperor's list and search for famous doctors all over the world, no one could heal a wound that was elusive.Not long after, he died, and since then, Murong Li has been living in guilt.The following year, on the anniversary of Zhiming's death, Murong Li waved away the crowd as usual, and came to worship him alone, took the wine from the altar, got drunk, was unsteady when he got up, slipped, and knocked his forehead on his forehead. On the corner of the altar table, blood was streaming down his face, the drunk Murong Li didn't call for help, he didn't know whether it was powerless or inadvertent, he watched Murong Li struggling to get up, leaning against the altar table, and then he didn't move again, he just died like this up.Zhi Ming shouted for help, but the people waiting outside seemed to be deaf, and no one responded.He wanted to help Murong Li up, but his hands passed through Murong Li's body, he was already dead, he couldn't do anything.
"If Xing Ming is destroyed, this will be your end, Zhi Ming..."
Zhi Ming turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a young man in red, both in appearance and voice, he was very similar to Murong Li, but he did not mistake him, because this man was like Murong Li when he first entered the palace a few years ago, Therefore, Zhi Ming didn't feel offended when he was called by his first name.
"who are you?"
The young man didn't answer the specified question, and said to himself: "The priest of Feng Nai needs to use the star inscription to destroy all the remaining instruments, and the star inscription will definitely be damaged."
"What if there is no sacrifice?"
"More than 3 resentful spirits scattered into Zhongyuan, so there will naturally be some casualties." There was no trace of disturbance on the boy's face, as if the chaos in the world had nothing to do with him. Seeing that Zhiming's face darkened, he said with a smile: "Others may not understand you." , but I know that you are not a person who values other people's lives. Your life, the life of Lord Murong, and the lives of those who have nothing to do with people in the world are more important, please think carefully about it."
"Who the hell are you? Why are you so similar to Murong Li?"
The young man stretched out his hand and caressed the side of his face, revealing a shallow smile that was almost exactly the same as Murong Li's. Zhi Ming had worked so hard to make Murong Li smile in the past, but now seeing this long-lost smile, he just felt extremely unsuitable.
"Zhiming, I'm telling the truth."
After Zhiming woke up, Ben was still rejoicing that it was just a nightmare, but suddenly felt a little wet on his chest, opened the front of his shirt, and found that the snow-white jacket was stained with a small spot of blood, which was exactly where his chest was.Zhi Ming felt a chill down his spine, was what he saw in the dream real?
Then, a few days later, something even weirder happened.
At first Zhiming didn't notice anything unusual, he took a rest in the afternoon, and when he woke up, no one brought lunch, he thought it was still early and he was not in good spirits, so he fell asleep again not long after.When he woke up again, the sun had already started to set to the west, and someone should have brought meals and soup over in the past.Zhi Ming slept for most of the day, and was a little hungry, so he got up by himself, but no one answered when he called.Walking outside, the room was dark, no one was lighting the lamp, and the tea on the table was completely cold.Zhiming himself found a fire book and lit the lamp. Only then did he realize that the surroundings were a bit too quiet. It would be quieter in winter without the singing of birds and insects, but there must be some wind noise.Zhi Ming walked around the residence suspiciously, the side hall that used to be heavily guarded was empty at the moment except himself, there were no guards, no palace people, he listened carefully, there was no sound around, as if he was the only one in the huge palace at the moment people.Zhi Ming suddenly began to worry that something happened in the palace, so he hurried to Murong Li's study, where Murong Li should be reviewing the memorial in the study.But when I got to the study, I found that it was also dark and empty.
Not only the study room, but also the main hall and the bedroom. He began to feel fear in his heart, and he quickened his pace to search around the palace. He almost turned around the entire palace, but he didn't meet a single person.Zhi Ming finally confirmed that there was really no one in the palace.When passing by the imperial dining room, Zhi Ming smelled a tempting aroma of food. There were dozens of dishes on the table in the dining room. When he touched the plate, it was still very hot. He was already hungry at the moment, so he hurried to eat first. something.From the corner of the eye, he suddenly noticed that there was still soup stewing on the stove beside him, and there were some half-cooked dishes in the nearby pots, and the fire on the stove was still burning.
With a "click", the chopsticks in Zhi Ming's hand fell to the ground. Even if his ten fingers did not touch Yang Chunshui, he still has some common sense, not to mention that it is impossible for the imperial chef to leave with the fire on in the middle of cooking. He has already entered for two sticks of incense , the dishes in the pot should have been burnt, but at this moment, there is no change at all, not only no burnt, even water vapor and oily smoke have not risen, as if everything is still.
"Zhi Ming, it's not a dream this time."
Murong Li's voice came leisurely from behind.
Zhi Ming turned around and saw the boy who looked exactly like Murong Li again.
"Zhi Ming, if Xing Ming is destroyed and you are not dead, this is your end."
"What do you mean?"
The young man replied: "You should have died under the sword of the Lord Murong, and your life was saved because of the star inscription, but from now on, you are no longer from here, and your life is connected with the star inscription, if the star inscription is damaged, the sword wound Then you will return to the original state. If you are lucky enough to survive, you will also be taken away from the human world together with the resentful spirit when you are sealed and sacrificed. in the midst of old age and death."
"A world between gaps? What do you mean?" Zhi Ming's heart sank a little bit, and the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
The young man walked around Zhiming slowly, and said, "This is the place."
Seeing that Zhiming was still ignorant, he glanced around and repeated again: "It's here."
This time, Zhiming understood, "this is here" means "here", being taken away from the human world but still in the human world, isolated from the world of the living, in this cracked world, time stagnates, everything is still Yes, looking back at the table of dishes, the tableware he had just used returned to its original position at some point, and a large table of dishes also returned to its original state, but he could clearly feel that he was indeed full.
"They're all here, you just can't see them..."
There was a strange musical sound in his ear, and Zhi Ming was overjoyed. The musical sound meant that there were other people here. He couldn't recognize what kind of musical instrument it was, and he didn't know where it came from. He was listening carefully to identify the boy on the opposite side. Suddenly he collapsed to the ground with a grim face, as if he was enduring great pain.
"It's him again! Here it comes again..."
"Who's here again?"
The boy gritted his teeth and said a name: "Feng Hui..."
The boy struggled for a while, then stood up abruptly, grabbing Zhiming with one hand.Zhi Ming felt dizzy for a while, the surrounding scenery changed completely, he returned to the side hall where he lived, the oil lamp he lit when he went out was still on, and he held the star inscription in his hand.Through the window, he noticed a flash of fire in the distance, and was about to go out to find out, but passed out due to exhaustion.
When Zhi Ming woke up, he was lying on his bed safely. Murong Li was arranging his clothes. He found a little blood on the front of his clothes. He looked at Murong Li's expression and found nothing unusual, but Murong Li simply said A few questions made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. In the past half a day, he walked around every corner of the palace, and no one could see him. This once again confirmed the boy's words. He was indeed in the so-called cracked world at that time.Zhi Ming didn't know whether he should tell Murong Li, this was too absurd and bizarre.
Later, Zhi Ming deliberately avoided Murong Li and met Feng Nai, the legendary descendant of alchemist. He believed that this person would be able to solve his doubts.When the two met, Feng Nai's actions made Zhi Ming's heart sink to the bottom.After the screen retreated to the left and right, Feng Hui actually knelt down in front of Zhi Ming.This kneeling is for the common people in the world, begging Zhiming to die.
Zhi Ming looked at Feng Hui who was kneeling in front of him and thought it was ridiculous, just as the young man said, Zhi Ming is not a person who values other people's lives, he drank poisonous wine for the Tai Tuo, and blocked the sword with his body for Murong Li, just because he He valued these two people, and Zhi Ming could do everything for the people he valued, but for the sake of others, forgive him for not being able to do so.Zhiming once made palace people jump down from a high platform with kites on their backs, was able to fight sheep and throw palace people for fun, and beat and punished painters for unreasonable troubles, which is enough to show that in his eyes human life is cheap.The common people in the world?The position of the ruler of Tianquan is not what Zhiming wanted, but it is a responsibility that cannot be shirked. After several wars in Tianquan, he felt ashamed in his heart, ashamed of the entrustment of Tianquan's ancestors, and ashamed of the Taifu who taught him since he was a child. He is also ashamed of the people of Tianquan who have suffered from wars because of his stupidity. He has to force himself to take up the responsibility of a country leader. Isn't that enough?Do you want him to die for the throne that bound him all his life?Why?
Zhi Ming sneered and said, "Although the world is important, this king still values his own life more."
Feng Hui's forehead touched the ground, and he didn't raise his head, but his words made Zhi Ming's smile freeze: "Xingming is in the hands of Lord Murong, how do you think he will make a choice?"
Zhi Ming knew that Murong Li was different from him. The current Murong Li was not his A Li, but a wise king who always put the overall interests of the world first. It was not difficult to guess what choice he would make, no matter what No matter how painful and difficult the process is, the ending is doomed.
"It's just a matter of one sentence for me to get Xing Ming back."
"For what reason do you intend to take it back?"
Zhi Ming was silent, Murong Li had asked him before he decided to hold the sacrifice, and he agreed at that time, how important this sacrifice is, if he didn't have a decent reason, how would he persuade Murong Li to return the sword?To come back is to disregard the common people in the world, what kind of reason can convince Murong Li?
Seeing that Zhiming was silent, Feng Hui raised his head and smiled, "Master Zhiming may have underestimated the friendship between the two of you. Based on what I know about Lord Murong, as long as you tell the truth, Lord Murong will definitely return the sword."
Zhi Ming looked at Feng Hui, waiting for his next words.
"Master Zhiming, do you know what those resentful spirits are doing at this time?"
Zhi Ming thought for a while and shook his head. Naturally, he was harming others, but he didn't need to know this, it was enough for him to know that he didn't want to die.
"Does the Lord not want to see it? Or can't bear to watch it?" Feng Hui saw through Zhi Ming's thoughts at a glance, and continued: "Does the Lord know how many people there are in the Zhongyuan Continent?"
Seeing that Zhiming didn't answer, Feng Nai asked again: "Does the lord know how those tens of thousands of spirit envoys scattered around harmed people? How many deaths and injuries can they cause every day?"
There are tens of millions of people in Zhongyuan Li, and the number of resentful spirits is nearly [-]. Although Zhiming has never seen resentful spirits harming people with his own eyes, he has read a lot of books about folk gods and ghosts. The reality will only be more cruel. He didn't want to die, and he didn't care too much about life and death that had nothing to do with others, but the number of lives was too heavy, and he couldn't say the words of rejection for a while.
Seeing that Zhiming was silent, Feng Hui continued to ask: "Does the Lord know that the Lord Murong is also haunted by resentful spirits?"
"What did you say?" Zhi Ming asked in surprise.
"That day, the resentful spirits scattered all over the battlefield, and the Yaoguang army suffered heavy casualties. You were already extinct after being pierced through the chest by Xing Ming's sword. The Lord Murong himself had just recovered from a serious illness and suffered new injuries. It was the time when the physical and mental defenses were the weakest. Xing Ming didn't want to protect him, so the resentful spirit took advantage of it."
"Why doesn't Xing Ming want to protect him?" Zhi Ming just felt it was unbelievable, Xing Ming is just an object, even if it has a spirit, it should obey the master's order, and can make up its own mind?
"Murong Li wants to destroy Xing Ming, so Xing Ming will naturally not protect him anymore."
Zhi Ming frowned, listening to Feng Nai's words, this Xing Ming had really become a spirit, and asked: "Is there a way to save it?"
"Naturally there is."
Zhi Ming was about to listen, but Feng Hui kept his mouth shut. As soon as he was about to speak, he realized that there was a way to save him.It's not that there are other ways, but Feng Yi in front of him has obviously chosen this one.
Seeing Zhi Ming hesitated, Feng Nai smiled and said: "The Lord doesn't have to worry, the Lord Murong's mind will naturally not be easily shaken by the resentful spirits, and there will be no serious problems for a while."
Zhiming heard Feng Nai's intention to threaten him with Murong Li. This is the most hated thing in his life, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Do you think this king deserves to die? For Murong Li? If he hadn't stabbed this king, this king would have died." Why this?"
Murong Li's sword almost killed Zhi Ming, but Zhi Ming saw the scene at that time, there was no killing intent in Murong Li's eyes, and then the wound disappeared strangely, Zhi Ming was even more sure that there must be something strange in it.Afterwards his health deteriorated a lot, and Murong Li blamed himself very much for this, so he didn't ask any more questions, so he still doesn't know the reason.
"The lord thinks that the sword was stabbed by the lord Murong?" Feng Hui was a little surprised.
"Is not it?"
Feng Hui was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'm afraid the Lord Murong also thought that he had missed his shot."
Seeing that Zhiming was still unclear, Feng Hui explained: "I'm afraid the Lord made a mistake. Lord Murong stabbed you to save you. With Lord Murong's skills, how could he be so careless? Most likely Xing Ming did it for the sake of you." Protect yourself and confuse the Lord Murong, Xing Ming will hit your chest, and that wound is the handle in his hands, your life and death will be linked with Xing Ming, so naturally you will not easily destroy the sword."
Zhi Ming didn't expect it to be like this, Xing Ming, who has fought side by side for many years, was the cause of the trouble. Yes, even if Xing Ming protects the Lord and becomes a spirit, he still has different intentions.
"The lord must have seen Xing Ming, right?"
Zhi Ming immediately thought of the young man who had told Xing Ming the consequences of the damage many times in his dream, Zhi Ming nodded, and said, "I should have seen it before, but I don't know who that sword spirit was before he was alive? He looks very similar to Lord Murong."
Feng Hui thought for a while, and said: "The sword spirit is not necessarily the soul of the master after death. There is a kind of sword spirit, which is the original spirit. Due to some kind of opportunity, it can absorb the vitality of others, just like the legendary mountain spirit. Like a goblin, the appearance of the incarnation is changeable, Xi's incarnation is the appearance of the person who can make people relax their vigilance, Xing Ming is mostly of this kind."
Zhi Ming understood instantly, the most let him relax his vigilance, isn't it Murong Li?
"This star inscription has attempted to confuse Lord Murong many times in vain, but was stopped by my subordinates. If Lord Murong knew that the price of the sacrifice was your life, he would definitely not agree to it, and he might have killed me directly."
"Then why did you tell this king?"
"If the lord doesn't ask, I won't say it, but since the lord asks, practitioners can't speak nonsense. Besides, I feel that the lord's life should still be in his own hands."
Zhi Ming looked directly into Feng Hui's eyes, and he found that this seemed to be the first time this person looked at him directly. At this moment, he had an illusion that Feng Hui looked at him with full respect, as if he was looking at a dead person.
After Feng Nai left, Zhi Ming made a decision without hesitation for too long.He has no choice but to sacrifice his own life to save the lives of tens of thousands of people he has never met. He couldn't do it, but if he was asked to kill thousands of people to save himself, he couldn't do it either. Besides, And Ah Li... This is a dead end, but now, he has no choice but to sit and wait for death.
After making up his mind, Zhi Ming began to arrange everything behind him.He is not worried about Tianquan, he has left an imperial edict earlier, which can be used just in time, and Murong Li will not have any problems when he takes over.Not long after, Murong Li became the master of Zhongyuan. I'm afraid this is not what he wanted, but life can't always be as one wishes.However, Murong Li had just cleaned up the court, and it was the time when there was a shortage of people, and most of Tianquan were old-fashioned officials. If he was gone, he might not be able to help wholeheartedly. The person who has been behind the scenes for many years, who has played with the countries on the applause with his own strength, and made him and Murong Li almost turn against each other.Now King Mengzhang was rescued by Murong Li, and Murong Li became the benefactor of this calamity, if he can be used for his own use, he will be even more powerful.Zhiming thought of Ziyu's tragic death again, and felt guilty. He had sworn to cut his enemy to pieces, but now he could only break his promise, so let him go and plead guilty to Ziyu himself.
Suppressing the venomous hatred in his heart, Zhi Ming persuaded Murong Li to reuse Zhong Kunyi as if nothing had happened.Finally, Zhi Ming thought of a thorny question. Xing Ming's sword was a fatal wound, and he probably couldn't escape. If Murong Li knew that he died from that sword wound, the rest of his life would be like a dream. He regretted what he saw for the rest of his life, which he didn't want to see.Zhiming thought over and over again, and came up with a good idea. He picked one of the dead men with the best swordsmanship to follow him at all times, pretended to assassinate him after his death, and stabbed the sword into his chest. At that time, Murong Li thought that he was assassinated and died, and the sadness probably passed for a while.
Zhiming bid farewell to Murong Li and returned to Tianquan, and began to arrange Tianquan affairs without stopping.Since he didn't have many days left, he no longer had any scruples, and announced Mo Lan to enter the palace every day after he had dealt with the country's affairs, drinking and having fun with him, often all night long.A group of senior ministers and imperial doctors advised him to rest on time every day, so as to recuperate his body, and he almost knelt down in court.Zhiming was coping with it on the surface, but he smiled wryly in his heart, this life is going to be gone, so what's the point of recuperating the body?After all, I can't wait for the time when I am old and eighty and sick.So Zhiming ignored everyone's dissuasion and intensified his fun, so let him live a more wanton life in his last days.
Knowing that Murong Li was going to come to Yuzhao Mountain to set up an altar to sacrifice, Zhi Ming got drunk and parted for many days, he already missed Murong Li a little bit, and soon it will be a farewell, but this time Murong Li came, but it was a reminder of.Zhi Ming didn't show the slightest bit in front of Murong Li, otherwise all previous efforts would be in vain.The only thing he can do is to drag Murong Li to play with him. This is the last New Year's Eve they spend together, and it is also his last New Year's Eve.
During the sacrifice, Murong Li still had doubts about Xing Ming's warning, because the dream was interrupted by Bo Ling's piano sound several times, so he didn't ask Feng Hui, worried that something might happen and he didn't want Zhi Ming to go, but Zhi Ming knew This farewell may never be seen again, and besides, he still can't see through that person Feng Nai, and he doesn't feel relieved if he doesn't see it with his own eyes.Zhi Ming didn't expect that his body would have problems before the sacrifice was over, and he didn't expect Murong Li to jump into the weird flames to interrupt the sacrifice when he saw something happened to him.When Zhi Ming was knocked down by Murong Li's bloody fist, it was the first time he realized how important he was to Murong Li's heart. It was probably more important than the punch that landed on the side of his face and almost dislocated his jaw. heavier.
Later, when Yuzhao Mountain collapsed and Murong Li fell into a coma due to Yinhuo's injuries, Feng Nai went to Zhiming again and told him two things. One was that Xingming's breath was dissipating and his days were numbered; Phagocytosis, if not dealt with in time, will endanger life. Even if it is cured, it will definitely affect the life expectancy and ruin the luck of the second half of life. Zhiming is neither the living nor the dead. He has a special constitution. Going to Zhi Ming's body will not only save Murong Li's life, but also will not harm Zhi Ming, but the imprint of the blood sample will also be transferred to Zhi Ming's body, which will be unsightly.Feng Hui didn't say anything later, but Zhiming knew in his heart that Murong Li was going to become the co-lord of the world in the future, and the hideous blood mark on his body was indeed an eyesore, and he didn't have much time left, so he Do not care about these.
Zhi Ming couldn't figure out why Feng Hui dared to make such a request to him repeatedly, wasn't he afraid that he would kill him in a fit of anger?Zhi Ming didn't bother to ask Feng Hui if there was any other way. He had an illusion that even if there were other ways, Feng Hui would have chosen this one. Zhi Ming has nothing to hesitate now, he has already felt the change in himself. , the wounds that appear and disappear from time to time, the growing sense of alienation from the world, the remaining days are numbered, so why not do one last thing for Murong Li?
Seeing that Zhiming agreed without hesitation, Feng Nai didn't look at Zhiming as indifferently as before. He was planning to go to Xunsu, to be more precise, he fled to Xunsu, moved Zhiming, offended Murong Li, When Murong Li wakes up, he will not let him go easily.Feng Nai planned to go to Xunsu to join the tribe of the Dong Ming tribe. Before he left, he told Zhiming that Xunsu had a large number of ancient books of his ancestors, and maybe he could find a way to save him.
Zhiming was very surprised when he heard the words, he always had an illusion that this person wanted to die, and it was not a good death, and now he suddenly said that he wanted to save him, he didn't believe it.After thinking about it for a while, Zhi Ming decided to go to Xi'an with Feng Nai.The blood marks on his body have already begun to appear, no matter whether he stays in Yaoguang or returns to Tianquan, someone will soon notice something strange, if it reaches Murong Li's ears, he will be able to guess something with his intelligence.Zhi Ming is also a little worried, if he stays here, looking at Murong Li who has a bright future every day, thinking of himself, who is running out of time, will eventually resent Murong Li in despair, this is something he doesn't want to see of.Going to Xunsu, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. Now that Yao Guang Tianquan is restored, he will go as an envoy. Yu Xiao is a smart person and will not move him easily. Zhongyuan million cavalry is not a vegetarian.Therefore, Zhi Ming took advantage of Murong Li's coma, secretly retrieved Xing Ming and fled with Feng Hui.Zhi Ming never expected that Murong Li would wake up, so he dragged his sick body and ran all the way to catch up. As the lord of the country, he led a mere thousand followers and broke into the enemy's border.Seeing Murong Li's situation, Zhi Ming guessed that he must have known something, or had a premonition of something, Murong Li had never made a request to him, and this may be the last time, Zhi Ming agreed to go back with him, but also gave up. The last glimmer of illusory hope.
In the end, Zhi Ming failed to make it back home. On the day he arrived at Yaoguang King City, Zhi Ming woke up and found that his carriage had stopped at the gate of Yaoguang King City. Murong Li and Yaoguang soldiers had disappeared, and only Leave yourself alone.Zhi Ming felt that he was being pulled, and unconsciously walked in a certain direction, which was the direction of the palace. When he returned to the palace, the gravitational force disappeared, and the palace was the destination.The imperial guards patrolling the palace also disappeared, the gate of Yaoguang King City was open, and there was no guard.Zhi Ming hastily climbed up the tower, overlooking the entire Yaoguang in a daze, there is no trace of people in the huge Yaoguang, he is the only one left in this world.
I don't know if Xing Ming was thinking about his old love and spared Zhi Ming's life, or he wanted to give him more cruel revenge, exile him here, and live alone in this empty place for the rest of his life.
Zhiming had expected this day, so he was not too surprised. After watching the scenery, he went back to his residence and sighed secretly. There is nothing important in life except death, but since then there will be no one to serve him. Do it yourself.
Zhiming has been troubled for a long time by washing clothes and hair. He has never done these things himself. The clothes are randomly placed in the water, wrung out, and hanged on a short tree to dry. After drying, they are crumpled like a rag. If you are pampered, you will naturally not wear it again.Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has all kinds of clothes, especially guard uniforms and military uniforms, which are estimated to be hundreds of thousands of sets, so Zhi Ming no longer struggles with how to wash clothes.But it was not easy to tie his hair. Zhi Ming tried several times with his hands behind his back, but he got messed up, so he simply gave up. He is the only one here, and no one cares about his inappropriate attire.
There are ready-made meals in the dining room at all times, and Zhi Ming will return to his original state after each meal, but he will not die of hunger, but after about half a month, he is a little tired of the same dishes.Zhi Ming also tried to cook by himself on a whim, but this time Murong Li was not there, the fate of the dining room was even worse than that of the water pavilion during the seven-day appointment, Zhi Ming quickly escaped when he saw that the situation was not good. Seeing the completely out-of-control fire, he stood there for a long time. In the billowing smoke, Zhi Ming coughed and burst into tears. In a trance, he always felt that Murong Li was following him and ran out of the kitchen together, just like the day in Shuixieli , Zhiming laughed at himself, actually began to hallucinate.
Zhi Ming sat in the distance, quietly watching the fire in the dining room, thinking, if the dining room was destroyed like this, would he just starve to death like this.Fortunately, not long after, the dining room returned to its original state as usual, and the tables were filled with steaming and exquisite meals. Zhi Ming was glad that he did not starve to death, so he hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks and sat down at the table, filling his hungry stomach. I was very hungry, and the food that had long been boring became delicious again. Fortunately, Zhi Ming slowed down the speed of cooking rice, and two tears slipped into the bowl. This is probably all the rest of his life. up.
Days passed, and his will to be bright gradually weakened. He often sat on the tower alone for a whole day, waiting for dark and dawn, maybe more than one day. He didn't know how long it had been. It was evening all the time, without the sun rising or setting.The place where he can move around is only in the palace, and he wanders around the palace all day with nothing to do. Eating the unchanging food has already made him smell the smell, and his chest feels tight and he almost feels sick. He begins to wonder if he is still alive, and then Why is he still alive? He is a little curious. If he dies, will he be resurrected again, just like the kitchen that was burnt into charcoal and restored to its original state?Zhi Ming spared his life, he didn't wipe his neck directly, but cut a small wound on his palm with a knife, the wound healed and scabbed, it took about five days, so Zhi Ming came to a conclusion that if he died, he probably wouldn't be resurrected , so this is not a recurring hell. If one day he can't bear it anymore, he can be freed at any time. Thinking of this, Zhi Ming suddenly relaxes, and still lives his days of eating and dying, waiting for the day he can't hold on. that day.
Zhi Ming originally thought that in ten days, maybe he would give up, but suddenly one day, Zhi Ming found something unusual, the sky changed, it was no longer evening, but early morning, he looked around suspiciously, When passing by the dining room, I smelled a tempting aroma of food, and the dishes in the dining room have changed!Zhiming was ecstatic in his heart, he is back!Zhi Ming immediately shouted for someone, and ran all the way to the direction of the main hall. At this time, the early morning should not be over yet, and while running, Zhi Ming's footsteps slowed down. After wandering around the palace for half a day, there was still no one here.But Zhiming was not all fruitless, he found two living creatures in the academy, snow-white little rabbits, so he brought them back to keep him company.
After another period of time, the sky darkened and turned into night. One day, Zhiming wandered around the gate of the palace alone, and suddenly heard a sound. He thought it was his own hallucination. Recently, he often had hallucinations, and always felt There are people in the palace, but after following the sound, they always come back disappointed, and gradually, they lose hope.But this time, he bumped into a group of patrolling soldiers. The soldiers seemed to be terrified when they saw him, and the blood on their faces faded instantly. Zhi Ming was also startled. He wanted to touch them to confirm whether these people were real, but the pair collapsed to the ground in fright, not daring to move.Zhi Ming grabbed the person who was retreating, and was ecstatic in his heart, he really caught it, and this time he really came back.So he got rid of the people and ran towards Murong Li's bedroom, but at this moment, the sky changed again. Zhi Ming turned his head and saw the empty city gate from a distance.
