The strongest magician

Seeing Jin Zhicheng's excited face, Jin Shuyan smiled reassuringly, and said, "Ah Cheng, elder brother still has a way to bring Ah Yuan back, but if he does this, elder brother may take away the precious treasure that is loved by others." , it may be a big mistake. Even so, do you still insist on getting Ah Yuan back?"

Jin Zhicheng was silent, and time passed quietly. It seemed that it had been a long time, and he said with difficulty: "Brother, I promised you that if I can't bring Ah Yuan back, I will let him go. You don't have to test me anymore, I will let you go." I won’t do stupid things, Ah Yuan still has a lot of things to do, I will do it for him. Until I fulfill his last wish, I will be fine and will not seek death.”

Jin Shuyan looked at him deeply, then sighed, and said, "Big brother can rest assured that you have this determination. Big brother must apologize to you. This time, I almost hurt you." He lowered his head With long eyelashes, he said with shame on his face: "It was because of my mistake that I separated you from Ah Yuan. If you have hatred in your heart, come and hate me."

Jin Zhicheng flickered, and after a while he said: "Brother, you have done too much for me and Ah Yuan, I have never repaid you, besides, it is the Xiao family who hurt Ah Yuan, What does it have to do with you?"

He looked straight into Jin Shuyan's gentle eyes, and said word by word: "Brother, you are my only relative in the Jin family. You are my elder brother, but you are not a god. Don't put all your The responsibility is all on my own body, I am your own brother, I can help you."

Jin Shuyan smiled, looked at the palm of his hand, and said: "In this case, let me take Ah Yuan away, I'm going to send him to the underworld, otherwise, I'm afraid he won't even be able to reincarnate."

Jin Zhicheng nodded, handed over the pendant in his hand, put it to his mouth and kissed it reluctantly, turned his face unbearably, and put the pendant in Jin Shuyan's palm.

Jin Shuyan accepted it silently, wanted to say something, but still didn't speak.

When he opened the door and came out, he saw Song Weiwei leaning against the wall of the corridor without taking a step away.

He nodded gratefully at her, and went upstairs by himself.

Song Weiwei watched his back, walked back to the room, and found Jin Zhicheng sitting in the dark, covering his face with his hands, without making any sound.

She walked to the window and saw the stars twinkling in the sky. Although the sky was not as clear as Qiemo's, it was also vast and boundless.

Why can't the human heart be as empty and silent as the starry sky?There will always be something to worry about, pick it up, put it down, and the heart will be full of traces, some traces will be healed by time, and some will become the Milky Way in the sky, bottomless and full of branches.

Even so, people's hearts are like the night sky, there will always be a bright day, so is she, and so will Ah Cheng.They'll get through it, they'll all...

Jin Shuyan walked upstairs and was about to open the door to enter the house when a bird made by magic flew in and landed at his feet.

He looked over in surprise, and then walked in the direction the bird flew away.

Bird stopped behind the house, and a person came out from the darkness, he looked over in a little surprise, and recognized that person was Xiao Rong.

"Arong?" He asked tentatively.

Xiao Rong stepped out of the shadows and looked at him with complicated eyes. After a long time, he called out: "Brother."

Jin Shuyan was taken aback, Ah Rong recovered his memory?Did Xiao Lian give him his heart back?By the way, he hasn't had time to tell Chang Geng about Arong's whereabouts, but since Arong has recovered his memory, he should go to Chang Geng by himself.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I really didn't expect that we would meet again in this mortal world." The last time we met was in the Tianxuan Mirror.

Jin Shuyan also sighed, yes, their family has suffered so much, when will they be truly reunited?I'm afraid that by the time of the reunion, things have changed.Except for Chang Geng and Xiao Qi, those brothers from back then left and died, and I am afraid that there will never be a scene where the family sits at the same table to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Arong, since you have recovered your memory, why haven't you gone to find Chang Geng? He has never given up looking for you these years." He asked softly.

"I know," Xiao Rong, no, Ji Weirong said with a wry smile, "Brother, Ah Lian is dead. Before he died, he still wanted me to tell you that I haven't finished what he entrusted. Besides, all these years, I Looking at Ah Lian, Ah Lian looks so similar to Nian Chang, I, I feel a little confused and haven't cleared up my thoughts yet. I'll go to him again after I sort out these emotions."

Jin Shuyan was also sad, he didn't expect Xiao Lian to die like this, and before he died, he made such a stumbling block for Qing Heng.If Xiao Lian hadn't poisoned Qing Heng before, even with the support of the Ji family, his Jin family would have been wiped out.In this way, he owes Xiao Lian a great favor.

"What did Xiao Lian hide from Qing Heng? It made Qing Heng so angry that he ran over to ask for it?" He frowned and asked softly.

Ji Weirong was silent for a while, and said: "This is related to the life experience of Alchemist Jian and Xiao Lian. Brother, I heard that Nian Chang has a younger brother who looks exactly like him, is that person Alchemist Jian?"

Jin Shuyan nodded, and roughly talked about what he and Ling Duanyang had planned before.

Ji Weirong smiled wryly: "This is troublesome, Nian Chang actually treats the reincarnation of Alchemist Jian with such care, what should I do!"

Jin Shuyan was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter? I've seen the reincarnation of Alchemist Jian. It's very different from the previous life. It can be said that he is a completely different person. If Chang Geng is optimistic about him, he should not cause trouble again."

"This is the purpose of my coming here." Ji Weirong paused, and said: "Alchemist Jian cannot stay, and he must not be allowed to return to the Xiao family. Once he returns to the Xiao family, we will have no way to compete with Qing Heng. "

"Alchemist Jian's body is in my hands, and his reincarnation is under the control of Chang Geng. Could there be any accidents?"

"Ah Lian used to be the head of the Xiao family for hundreds of years. During those hundreds of years, he found some things left by the ancestors of the Xiao family, and discovered the secret of his life experience with Alchemist Jian. He kept the secret for hundreds of years. Later, It was because of Yunji's return, his identity was revealed, and since then..."

"Xiao Lian told me about this before. But are there other differences?"

Ji Weirong nodded: "At the beginning, Yunji entered the inner core, conceived the son of God, and gave birth to Shi Jian and Xiao Lian. Fang Shi Jian can be said to be Qing Heng's son. However, there is also an inside story here. Back then, Qing Heng was not an innocent person, and he took the initiative to fall in love with him. The blood of the Xiao family, in order to lure the Xiao family to take the bait, deliberately revealed their identity of immortality. Afterwards, Qing Heng signed a contract with the Xiao family. It's power..."

Jin Shuyan listened to him patiently.

"Although Qingheng is immortal, but he is not powerful, not even as good as a mortal swordsman. However, he is extremely thirsty for power, so he uses the Xiao family to gather strength for him. The Xiao family lives in this world. , they will continue to practice and absorb the aura and power of the heaven and earth. When the Xiao family returns, the power and aura they brought with them when they were alive will belong to Qingheng."

"But after the Xiao family returned, didn't they still have strength?" Jin Shuyan frowned, then nodded knowingly, and said, "Yes, the people in the Xiao family's outer house are the rest after he absorbed all the strength and spit it out. ?”

Seeing that Ji Weirong nodded in agreement, he continued to guess, and said: "Qing Heng has accumulated countless powers relying on this, and only appeared in human form after the power was saturated. Now, he no longer needs the power of the Xiao family's cultivation, and his body has been taken down by Xiao Lian." If he is poisoned, it will be destroyed sooner or later, so what he needs now is a powerful body, a powerful body that can carry his incomparably powerful strength... and to control this body, it is best to have a blood relationship with him ..."

Having said that, he finally knew what the function of Alchemist Jian was, and he whispered: "You mean, Alchemist Jian was the shell that Qing Heng prepared for himself from the beginning?"

Ji Weirong nodded and said, "Yes. If Qing Heng wants to attach himself to that body, he needs one more thing, which is the contract he signed with the Xiao family back then. That contract can completely drive away the remaining souls in the body, allowing Qing Heng to completely control the body. It has a physical body. And that contract is what Ah Lian hid before he died."

No wonder Qing Heng went crazy looking for something like that.

"Where is that thing now?" He looked at Ji Weirong's face, saw his embarrassed expression, nodded and said: "I know, Xiao Lian must be very reassuring of you, so only you know the whereabouts of the thing. But you also It's very dangerous, Qing Heng will definitely keep an eye on you."

Ji Weirong nodded, and said: "I know." He hesitated, and said: "The relationship between me and Ah Lian can't be explained clearly in a few words, but I have known him for hundreds of years, and I have long regarded him as a bosom friend. Dear family. Therefore, I will definitely complete the things he entrusted to him. Qing Heng has always been able to perceive the existence of Alchemist Jian's body, so the body of Alchemist Jian must be destroyed, otherwise it will be a matter of time before he finds it. What's more troublesome Yes, Fang Shijian is the only person who has a true blood relationship with Qing Heng, if Fang Shijian recovers his memory, then he may directly use the power of Qing Heng's body..."

Jin Shuyan remained silent. If Fang Shijian had always existed as Zhou Liang, then he only needed to destroy his body.However, if his body is destroyed, then alchemist Jian will definitely return to his original nature, and no one in this world will be able to stop him by then.This is really a difficult choice.

"As long as Alchemist Jian is still alive, Qing Heng will be able to perceive his existence. I didn't come to him before because Qing Heng's human form was not stable yet. Now, as long as he wants, he can find Alchemist Jian at any time." Ji Weirong sighed, "It's a pity Ah Lian is just a shadow of the alchemist Jian, he died without even leaving his soul..."

Jin Shuyan couldn't help but feel a little sad, he asked: "Qingheng's body is the power that appeared in the wild world, isn't it?"

Ji Weirong shook his head: "That's just a part of his body. According to Ah Lian's speculation, that part of the wild world is not even one-tenth the size of Qing Heng's body. He guessed that Qing Heng's body may be everywhere."

Jin Shuyan was stunned, everywhere?If there is a specific body, they can still think of ways to deal with it. If it is everywhere, how can they eliminate it?

Ji Weirong smiled wryly, and said, "Brother, do you know where our difficulties are now?"

Jin Shuyan nodded, and after a while, said: "I'll go back and think about it. Do you have a place to stay now? Why don't you stay with me first."

Ji Weirong was silent for a while, and said: "Brother, if Ah Lian's entrustment cannot be completed, I will feel uneasy. Don't tell Nian Chang about my affairs. When the matter is over, I will go to him personally."

Jin Shuyan moved his mouth, but still nodded, and said, "After Chang Geng left you, he didn't live well..."

Ji Weirong showed a shaken expression, then lowered his head and said, "Brother, take care of yourself, I'm leaving first."

He took a few steps back and his figure disappeared into the darkness.

Jin Shuyan stood in the dark for a long time, until Zhou Liang walked over angrily, and complained as he walked: "It's already a little cold in the early autumn night, and you are not in good health, so you are really not taking yourself seriously. What's going on! Is there anything you can't go back to the house to think about? I won't disturb you!"

He took a coat and put it on for Jin Shuyan. Jin Shuyan wanted to politely refuse, but when he saw those clear and ethereal eyes, he was stunned.Those eyes were full of worry, without any affectation or hypocrisy, and they looked extremely moving in the night.

He took a step back, trying to distance himself from him, Zhou Liang reluctantly posted it again, and said dissatisfied: "Youqie, I just want to care about you. I'm not a monster that eats people. Besides, it's up to you With my ability, I can be crushed to death in a matter of minutes, what are you afraid of!"

Yeah, what is he afraid of?What is he struggling with?He clenched and lowered his fists, and finally turned into a helpless smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, for making you worry. It's late at night, let's go back."

Zhou Liang finally smiled with satisfaction.

Jin Shuyan stayed up almost all night, but Zhou Liang slept deeply on top of him.Looking at Zhou Liang's innocent sleeping face, he hesitated for a long time, until it was almost dawn before he squinted for a while.

The next day, while Zhou Liang was going downstairs, he picked up the phone.

He kept that number, but he never had the courage to dial it. Today was the first time.

The phone rang twice and was connected. After a long silence, Zhou Yu's excited voice came: "Brother."

Li Fanggu fell asleep drowsily with Duan Jinming in his arms, until the next day, when the room was brightly lit, he opened his eyes in a daze, and heard Duan Jinming calling.

As if afraid of waking him up, Duan Jinming lowered his voice and said, "I see, I will hurry there as soon as possible, thank you for the news."

With a jolt, he immediately sobered up. Duan Jinming is leaving?

Duan Jinming said a few more words, hung up the phone, looked back, he was awake, looking at him with piercing eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "Are you awake?"

Li Fanggu asked cautiously: "Are you leaving again?"

Although Duan Jinming was in a dilemma, he still nodded: "Well, time is tight, and I'm leaving today."

Li Fanggu's heart was suddenly empty. How long have they met before they have to separate again? When will the two of them settle down?

Seeing his expression, Duan Jinming touched the top of his head soothingly, pushed his messy bangs back, and said, "Li Fangu, believe me, I will definitely go to Haizhou to find you in three months at the most. At that time, Let's let go of everything and have a good love, how about it?"

Have a good love?Li Fanggu laughed out loud, never expecting Duan Jinming to say such a thing.He nodded and looked at him reluctantly.

Duan Jinming sat beside him, held him in his arms and kissed him softly. Li Fanggu was also very shy, and while kissing, he didn't know if it was true or not, and said: "I haven't brushed my teeth yet..."

Duan Jinming bit his lip and said, "You haven't taken a shower for the past two days, and your whole body is sour and smelly. I have hugged you for two days and I didn't dislike you."

Li Fanggu was very embarrassed, and Duan Jinming and Duan Jinming got bored for a long time before getting up to help Duan Jinming pack his luggage.Although Li Fanggu was reluctant, he could only watch him and Fusu leave.

Not long after Duan Jinming got into the car, his phone rang and he received a message. He picked it up and looked at it, and his face immediately turned red.

Fu Su looked up at him, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Duan Jinming said flatly: "It's nothing." Then he turned his face out of the window in embarrassment.

Fusu glanced at it calmly, turned his eyes back to the magazine in his hand, and smiled melancholy.

Duan Jinming watched the scenery passing by outside the window, and his mind was in a mess. The message was sent by a child, and it said: You just left, and I miss the feeling of kissing you!Be careful on the road, I will always remember you!

Why are you so blatant!Duan Jinming felt that his face was burning and his eyes were hot. He really didn't understand the thoughts of young people.Rubbing his face with one hand, he struggled for a long time, and only replied with one word: Mmm!

Li Fanggu looked at the phone depressedly, just one word, he thought he would at least reply: Me too!Forget it, Duan Jinming has this personality. He looks cold, has a gentle personality, and acts aggressively. This seems to be a particularly contradictory feeling, but he just likes him like this.

After thinking for a while, he sent another message to Fusu: Beauty Fusu, be careful on the road!Waiting for you and our brother Duan to return safely.He hesitated for a moment, would this be a bit blatant?Is it reminding Fusu to remember the agreement between the two?Fusu didn't know if he would mind.However, it was true that he was worried about Fusu.It's strange to be so guilty.

Fusu's cell phone rang, saw the message, smiled knowingly, thought about it, and replied: I know, I will take good care of Mr. Duan.Take care of yourself and wait for us to return safely.

Li Fanggu was amused when he received the message, and he still helped Su Meiren to relieve her amorous feelings!

He took the phone and kissed it, ready to go to Ji Lingche's appointment.

Jin Shuyan talked with Zhou Yu for a long time. He hung up the phone feeling uneasy. He didn't expect that the two brothers hadn't contacted each other for so long, and the first time they communicated, they were talking about this topic.

After a while, Zhou Liang came back. Seeing his face, he couldn't help asking worriedly: "What's wrong? Why are you bothered?"

Jin Shuyan smiled and asked, "Mr. Zhou, isn't he planning to go home and have a look? Your two elder brothers are probably very worried about you."

Zhou Liang froze for a moment, thought about it seriously, and said: "You are right, I should go back and have a look. I'm afraid Brother Qi is worried. Well, your body seems to have recovered, otherwise, I will go back tomorrow Go back. But I will come back, will you welcome me then?"

Jin Shuyan smiled gently: "Of course you are welcome. Whenever you come, I welcome you."

Zhou Liang was greatly benefited from hearing this sentence, and he agreed with a smile.

Another day later, Li Fanggu was learning the demon dance with Ji Lingche, and Zhou Liang came to say goodbye to him.Seeing him coming in, Li Fanggu immediately stopped what he was doing, and looked at him in a panic: "What's wrong, uncle?"

Zhou Liang looked at him a little puzzled, what is there to hide?The Heavenly Demon Dance can only be used by people of the Ji family's blood, and it doesn't matter if he sees it.

Li Fanggu knew what he must be thinking, and immediately explained: "I'm not afraid of being seen by you, oops, don't worry about it, you will know later. I'm afraid you will laugh at me, so don't ask."

Seeing his embarrassment, Zhou Liang endured it even though he was full of doubts, said goodbye to him, and said that he would go home and take a look first, so that Zhou Qi, who had been worried about him, could rest assured.

Li Fanggu nodded, planning to go home after learning the Tianmo dance.

After Zhou Liang bid farewell to him, Jin Shuyan personally sent a car to take him back to Haizhou. He did not refuse. Before leaving, he looked deeply at Jin Shuyan and said, "Youqie, I am a very serious person. You are also serious, don't expect to get rid of me easily."

Jin Shuyan smiled helplessly: "I see, Mr. Zhou, thank you for everything you have done for me these days."

Zhou Liang waved his hand smartly, got in the car and left.

Jin Shuyan watched him leave, then turned around and walked back into the house.

Four hours later, Zhou Liang returned to Haizhou.Seeing the long-lost home, a strange thought rose in his heart, and he knew that it was because he was homesick.

The moment he saw the door of the house, he was overwhelmed by the touch and joy, and unconsciously had the urge to cry.So this is the feeling of missing your hometown and your loved ones?

He walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on the door. Zhou Yu's voice came from inside: "Wait a minute." A few seconds later, Zhou Yu came out with a spatula in his hand, wearing a large red and purple plaid apron, and opened the door for him. .

Zhou Liang stepped forward and gave him a hug, rubbed his neck affectionately, and said, "Brother Yu, I miss you."

Zhou Yu froze for a moment, his eyes softened, and he said dotingly, "I finally know I'm home, come in quickly. Xiao Qi has been waiting for you for a long time, and I cooked a table of dishes you like."

Zhou Liang hugged him, reluctant to let go. It turned out that this is the feeling of hugging a loved one, so warm.

Zhou Yu let him hang on his body and dragged him into the door.

Zhou Qi was still the same as usual, sitting on the sofa listening to the news, Bai Fang's tail was flicking and hitting the floor.Hearing their voices, a pair of dull eyes turned around, stood up from the sofa, and was about to walk over.

Zhou Liang let go of Zhou Yu, cheered, rushed up and threw himself into Zhou Qi's arms, hugging him fiercely.

Zhou Qi was not wary of being rushed by him, and the two of them fell on the sofa together, sinking deeply into the sofa.

Zhou Liang buried his head in Zhou Qi's neck, dawdled like a puppy, and said, "Brother Qi, I miss you, really. I miss you so much!"

The corners of Zhou Qi's eyes were wet, and she stroked his head with a smile. Xiao Liang finally understood how to miss him. It was a remarkable progress.

Zhou Yu was busy in the kitchen, and Zhou Liang stuck to Zhou Qi's side, talking to him intimately.As the sky gradually darkened, Zhou Yu piled the table full of vegetables, which were Zhou Liang's favorite food.

Zhou Yu turned off the range hood, took off his apron, and called into the living room, "Stop chatting, come over to eat."

Zhou Liang held Zhou Qi's arm, and the three of them sat down at the table, and Bai Fang walked to his exclusive bowl, and ate with them.

Zhou Liang was very happy. He hadn't eaten Zhou Yu's dishes for a long time, and he hadn't talked to Zhou Qi like this for a long time. He missed the time with his two brothers very much.

Zhou Liang ate a piece of sauced elbow, his mouth was glistening, and said, "Brother Qi, I'm in love!"

"Clap!" The yam on Zhou Qi's chopsticks fell back into the soup.

Zhou Yu took a mouthful of celery calmly, chewing silently.

"Brother Qi, his name is Jin Shuyan, but I always call him Youqie."

"Clap!" Zhou Qi's chopsticks dropped this time.

"Brother Qi, I know, he is the eldest brother of you and Brother Yu in the previous life. I was always unconvinced before, how can someone be as good as you and Brother Yu said, only after seeing you this time, I know you are right. I I fell in love with him at first sight, and I decided that I will formally pursue him!"

Zhou Qi's eyes were glazed over, dumbfounded.

Zhou Yu took a spoonful of soup calmly, ate, ate, and it was rare that the three brothers had a good meal together.

Jin Shuyan stepped into his ghost cave with a silent expression.

Alchemist Jian lay in the coffin and fell asleep quietly, his almost perfect face was full of peace.

The expression is really calm, is it because Zhou Liang is in a good mood now?

He sat down beside him, and pushed aside his folded hands on his belly, revealing the short-bladed hilt.

As long as the short blade is pulled out, the soul of the alchemist Jian will return to its place, that is to say, Zhou Liang will no longer exist.

And the body remonstrated by the alchemist will really die...

Zhou Liang wiped his mouth and hands with a wet towel, put the chopsticks back into Zhou Qi's hand, and said, "Brother Qi, I'm sorry, I know you have always respected Youqie. But, I promise, I won't let you pinch It’s difficult between me and Youqie. Well, I remember this saying on TV before, what’s it called? Well, double-sided tape, yes, that’s the word. I won’t let you become double-sided tape of."

Zhou Qi finally recovered from the shock, opened her mouth several times, but said nothing.

Zhou Yu calmly picked up a piece of cod for Zhou Qi, and said calmly, "Eat first. Talk slowly after eating."

Zhou Qi continued to eat without knowing the taste.Zhou Liang blinked his big eyes, stopped talking, and concentrated on dealing with the delicious food on the table.

After eating, Zhou Yu threw the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, and Zhou Liang hugged him from behind and started acting cute: "Brother Yu, your cooking is the best."

Zhou Qi spoke on the sofa: "Isn't it! Xiao Liang, come here and let Brother Qi see if you've lost weight."

Jin Shuyan covered his face with his hands, Chang Geng and Xiao Qi regard Zhou Liang as a treasure now, but now he wants to take it away with his own hands...

Zhou Liang snuggled up to Zhou Qi's knee obediently, closed his eyes with his face up, and let Zhou Qi reach out to touch his face.

Zhou Qi ran her hands across his cheeks, sighed and said, "Xiao Liang has really lost weight."

Zhou Liang opened his eyes and looked at him brightly: "It's okay, Brother Yu will help me make it up. Right, Brother Yu?" His eyes turned to Zhou Yu expectantly.

Zhou Yu snorted and agreed.

Zhou Liang opened his mouth and smiled comfortably.

Jin Shuyan made the final decision, clenched the blade with both hands, closed his eyes, exerted force with both hands, and the blade was pulled out...

Zhou Liang's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.
