Chapter 70 Lone Island┃Little Junior Brother!I seem to have caught a monster!
"You go down first."
"No," Chen Xing insisted, "I want to follow you."
Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, hugged him by the waist, and jumped off the edge of the cliff.
Chen Xing never expected such a sudden appearance, and shouted wildly: "What are you doing?! Stop it! Xiang Shu! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
When Chen Xing shouted, the mountain stream was full of echoes, and Xie An and others who were descending the mountain were startled.
Feng Qianjun: "What's wrong?!"
Xiao Shan immediately turned around, and Xie An hurriedly said, "No, no! Observe for a while!"
Feng Qianjun also came to his senses: "This scene will not be on the Seven Stars Altar..."
Gu Qing said: "Brother Feng!"
"Don't bark!" Xiang Shu's voice echoed not far away.
"It hurts!" followed by Chen Xing's scream, "Hurry up! Stop!"
Chen Xing was held by Xiang Shu's waist, and flew down from the cliff. Xiang Shu grabbed a mountain vine, and fell suddenly with force, and Chen Xing's arm was about to be dislocated.
"Can't get in!" Chen Xing's voice shouted, "It's stuck!"
"Hold my neck!" Xiang Shu said, "Don't move!"
Xiang Shu took Chen Xing to get into the crack of the cliff. Chen Xing saw that it was full of plants, so he couldn't force it.
Xiang Shu grabbed the cane with one hand, and reached into the gap with the other, trying to pull a broken log out.Chen Xing hugged Xiang Shu by his shoulders and looked curiously into the crevice of the mountain rock.
"Not here! Let's change direction!"
"Don't shout in my ear!" Xiang Shu said, "I can hear you!"
mountain road.
Feng Qianjun: "..."
Xiao Shan: "???"
Xie An: "Let's keep going down, that... Dao Yun, you hurry down, it's not suitable to stay here for long."
Xie Daoyun: "..."
"Xie An!" Xiang Shu shouted, "Can you hear me?! Come here!"
Xie An immediately turned around and led the two of them up the mountain again, only to see that Xiang Shu tied himself and Chen Xing together with a belt, and said, "Go around to the back and see what is on the other side of the crack."
Feng Qianjun threw a bow and arrow to Xiang Shu and shouted, "Use this connection later!"
The sky was getting darker and darker, Chen Xing's clothes were disheveled, he finally got through the crack, and suddenly found a hidden rocky patio, Xiang Shu bowed his head, it seemed that no one had been here for nearly a hundred years, and it was full of vegetation.I cleared the surrounding vines with the heavy sword, and found that there seemed to be a big battle here, and the rocks collapsed towards the center.
"This is... aura detonation," Chen Xing said, "An exorcist exploded something here!"
"It's something that exploded." Xiang Shu looked up, and saw another rock collapsed in front of him, so he moved away the fallen rock weighing more than a hundred catties, and a bottomless cave path appeared.
Chen Xing said: "Is it your mother and Zhang Liu? We were ambushed here back then. Is there a way to escape?"
Xiang Shu also failed to confirm that the traces along the way were purely conjectures, but it was obvious that there had been an extraordinary battle.
"Look ahead." Xiang Shu said.
It was almost dark, Chen Xing wanted to sacrifice the heart lamp, but Xiang Shu couldn't help but took his hand and hurried out from the mountain.The trail was extremely deep and several miles deep. Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing and said, "Shall I carry you?"
"It's okay." Chen Xing was excited, and quickly followed Xiang Shu. They came here in the same way when they were in Yinshan.
Then, Chen Xing stumbled on the road, Xiang Shu stopped, and when he lowered his head, he saw something scattered in the cave.
It was a nearly decayed wooden scabbard with words engraved on it.
Chen Xing was about to look at it, but Xiang Shu put away the scabbard and said, "Go ahead."
After walking for half an hour, we arrived at the exit of the underground cave. The air was fresh and the sky was full of stars. The underground cave actually passed under the Yangtze River and came to the shore of Honghu Lake.
With the help of starlight, the two of them clearly saw a line of bells and drums on the ancient wooden scabbard that was nearly half decayed.
"It's as immovable as a mountain," Chen Xing murmured, "This is the original scabbard."
The mild steel scabbard was made by Zhang Liu later, and the one found in the cave is exactly the scabbard that Xiang Yuyan used when she left home with the epee!
Xiang Shu stood on the shore of Honghu Lake and looked around. The waves of the lake lapped on the shore one after another.
"My mother and Zhang Liu escaped from here," Xiang Shu said.
It was already dark, Chen Xing said, "We'll investigate after sunrise?"
A solitary moon, at the end of the lake, rising from a place where the water and the sky are the same color, the moonlight is in the middle, there is an island not far from the lake, and a temple appears in the island, the scene is really lonely and deserted, there are stone roads on the peninsula, and The shore is connected.
Xiang Shu drew his arrows and shot three times in a row into the sky, Ming Di made a mark towards Xie An and the others.
"There is only one way," Xiang Shu said, "to go to the island, then take a raft across Honghu Lake to the other side, and have a look."
There is actually such a secluded ancient building here. Chen Xing observes the building at the end of the road, which looks like a Taoist place for alchemists to practice. The Taoism has the style of the Han Dynasty and has been here for hundreds of years.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Xing pushed the door of the Taoist institute, and it opened with a "squeak", and someone inside suddenly got up and shouted in surprise.
Chen Xing originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that there were actually people there. The Taoist Temple didn't look very big from the outside, but when he entered, he found that it was not small. The courtyard was full of flowers, and a middle-aged scribe was watering the courtyard. Shui smiled at them when he got up, and said, "How did you guys find this place?"
Xiang Shu replied, "Passers-by, ask where this place is."
The middle-aged scholar said with a smile: "It's really not easy to come here by passing by. Come, please sit down. We are destined to meet each other. Would you two like tea or wine?"
Xiang Shu waved his hand, Chen Xing entered the courtyard curiously, and saw that the whole Taoist temple was in good order, he glanced at Xiang Shu tentatively, Xiang Shu nodded, indicating that he would be cautious.
At that time during the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were many hermits living away from the world. The most famous hermits were Tao Qian and his group. Chen Xing didn't think it was too strange to meet hermits here.I only listened to the self-introduction of the scribes before, saying that their surname is Huan, and their single name is "Mo", which is a branch of the Huan family in Xuancheng.At that time, the relatives of Shi Huanyi in Xuancheng lived in order to avoid disaster after the Huanwen Rebellion. Huan's family moved away. "In the Taoist place, live down.
"Canglangyu," Chen Xing said, "is there any reason?"
Huan Mo made tea for the two of them in the open hall facing Honghu Lake, and said, "It is said that this place was built by an exorcist hundreds of years ago to suppress dragons."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Xiang Shu frowned slightly, and fell silent, Huan Mo asked again: "Does little brother know about exorcists? Hanshi..."
Under the table, Xiang Shu's finger lightly touched the back of Chen Xing's hand, Chen Xing understood Xiang Shu's meaning, nodded, pretending to be curious, and after hearing what Huan Mo said, it was indistinguishable from the exorcist's rumors .
"En." Xiang Shu also nodded after listening, Huan Mo made the tea, and said, "Please use it, both of you, this is the Junshan new tea I bought from Chibipu Market a few days ago."
Xiang Shu looked at the tea bowl, but didn't move for a while, but Chen Xing was thirsty, picked up the tea bowl, Xiang Shu seemed to be still pondering, when suddenly Feng Qianjun's voice came from outside again, shouting: "Is anyone there?"
When everyone finally came, Huan Mo was even more surprised, so he got up and went to open the door.Xiang Shu immediately said to Chen Xing, "Don't drink anything indiscriminately."
Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu was quite vigilant, and he never let him drink the water given by others along the way, and said, "Let me test for you first to see if it is poisonous..."
Xiang Shu had no choice but to motion for Chen Xing to watch. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip for Chen Xing first.
Chen Xing: "Aren't you afraid of poison?"
Xiang Shu was immediately blocked by Chen Xing, but Huan Mo led Feng Qianjun, Xie An, Xiao Shan, Xie Daoyun and Gu Qing over there. Feng Qianjun saw Chen Xing and said, "Sure enough, you are here too!"
Huan Mo wondered what their relationship was, but Xie An smiled and said, "We are classmates in the Taixue High School. We were invited out for an outing. We have been looking for these two boys for a long time."
Huan Mo smiled and said, "Brother is also in Taixue?"
"Live to be old, learn to be old," Xie An said with a smile, "In the age of forty, one must practice diligently."
Huan Mo looked at Xiao Shan again, Xiao Shan was still carrying something to eat, and said to Chen Xing, "I'm hungry, let's eat."
Xie An said: "He is a little child prodigy in our Taixue, he can read and make a fuss at the age of five."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Huan Wen saw that Xiao Shan didn't look like a scholar, but since he said so, he had no choice but not to ask.
Feng Qianjun said: "I'm really bothering brother Huan. We are planning to find a place for dinner. Do you want to join us?"
Huan Mo said: "I have used it. If you don't mind, there is a guest room upstairs. Don't bother tonight. Just spend the night here. When the boat arrives tomorrow, someone will take you there. "
Xie An applauded immediately, introduced himself as Xie and named Bai Qiu, and the few of them occupied the magpie's nest like this, without being polite at all, and started eating dinner directly in Huan Mo's open hall.
Xiang described the findings of the two people's investigations, and said, "It's really strange why there is such a place on the island."
Chen Xing said: "There are always people who hide from the world, but I also find it a bit strange..."
Chen Xing always felt that there was something weird about it, but he really couldn't tell. After the discussion, everyone ate the food brought by Feng Qianjun, and no one touched the tea provided by Huan Mo for a while. Although Gu Qing and Xie Daoyun were wearing men's clothing, they were not like other People like to talk and talk, and go to rest after confessing their crimes.
Xiao Shan stretched, and Chen Xing said, "Shall I take you to bed?"
Xiao Shan said, "I want to sleep with you."
"Okay." Chen Xing replied, and went upstairs to take a look, only to see that Huan Mo had prepared three rooms for them with a floor on the floor. Xie An and Feng Qianjun slept in one room, and Chen Xing, Xiang Shu, Xiao The mountain sleeps in one room, and the two girls sleep in one room.
But Xiang Shu never went upstairs, and sat outside the open hall with one foot hanging sideways, facing the waves of the lake, with the rotten sword sheath lying across his legs.
After everyone dispersed, Huan Mo walked through the long corridor and saw that Xiang Shu was staring at Honghu Lake, so he smiled and said, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Xiang Shu didn't answer the question, and said flatly, "Canglangyu, the owner of this place must be an elegant man."
Heng Mo said: "When I heard it for the first time, I also felt the same way. It is said that the world is like a river, but I only feel that the world is like a sudden storm. Sometimes I am carefree on the top of the waves like thousands of mountains, and sometimes In the valley of waves, mountains and seas are like a catastrophe, and the seas have been ups and downs for several years, but they are all rises and falls on the sea for no reason."
Xiang Shu said politely: "It sounds like Mr. Huan has experienced a lot in his life."
"The most difficult thing is not these," Huan Mo said with a smile, "it's that you can't find your way when you are in the middle of the sea. You can't help yourself if you drift with the current. You never know where you are going. It's pitch black around you. It's difficult. Occasionally, when the sea is calm, there are more dangers hidden under the sea..."
"...If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces. Even if you are dead and your body is swallowed by this sea, your wreckage will still be engulfed in this wave, and you will not be able to escape, endlessly. Does it look like a person died? In the end, you still have to suffer the eternal infamy?"
Xiang Shu caressed the scabbard inadvertently with his broad palm, looked at the Honghu Lake in the darkness with his deep eyes, and suddenly said: "Sir, do you see that there is nothing in this lake?"
"That's right, it's pitch black," Huan Mo said, "The night is long."
Xiang Shu raised his head slightly, and in his eyes was the gorgeous galaxy reflected by the lake. The silver man in the lake seemed to be connected to the sky, forming a shining ring from the sky to the earth, and then from the earth to the sky.
"But there is something in the sky that will guide you in the direction of sailing in the sea." Xiang Shu raised his eyebrows.
"Do you think that's the direction?" Huan Mo said with a smile, "It's just an obsession. When the clouds come over, you won't be able to see anything."
"Obsession?" Xiang Shu said.
"Young people should not be obsessed too much," Huan Mo said, "If you have too much obsession, you will inevitably fall into a demon."
Xiang Shu said: "Everything should not be obsessed, but I thought, if there is no such obsession, I want to look away from everything, and life will inevitably be too boring."
Huan Mo seemed a little surprised, then nodded and said, "Well, that's true."
"Brother Huan, would you like some of my tea?" Xie An came out at some point.
upstairs.
After Xiao Shan got into the bed and fell asleep, Chen Xing suddenly wanted to take a walk around, so he went downstairs gently.
I only heard that Xie An was drinking tea with Huan Mo and chatting in the open hall.
Huan Mo was boiling water beside him, so he smiled and said, "Then you're welcome."
Chen Xing passed from the back of the open hall, only to hear Xie An say again: "Huan family members, I haven't heard of it for a long time. Ever since Huan Wen lost power, the whole family has disappeared like the world. Who was Brother Huan in Xuancheng? The books that Mister read under his door?"
Back then, Huan Wen was an outstanding general of the Jin Dynasty, leading the Northern Expedition, and was a strong enemy of the Murong, Fu and Yao families.However, because of his high achievements and arrogance, he actually abolished the establishment after returning to the court, and even demanded that Jiuxi be crowned king.In the end, it happened to fall into Xie An's hands, and Xie An didn't refute him directly. He only used one move to go back and forth--dragging, and finally succeeded in dragging Huan Wen back to the west, and the Jin court was relieved. .
It is also because of Huan Wen's actions that the Sima family is now very sensitive to powerful officials, fearing that the military power will bully the lord, so that the court, Beifu, and imperial power are now in such an embarrassing situation.
Huan Mo talked about Xuancheng, and also mentioned the old friendship between Huan Wen and Wang Meng. When Chen Xing heard that he was talking about his senior brother, he eavesdropped a few words, and always felt that Xie An seemed to be talking nonsense.
Not long after, when Xie An and Huan Mo started to talk about landscape metaphysics again, Chen Xing stopped listening, left the open hall and walked outside, went deep into the garden, and found a stone pagoda he had seen outside Canglangyu.
Xiang Shu stood under the stone pagoda, heard footsteps, and looked towards Chen Xing from the side of the stone pagoda.
Chen Xing: "I said I couldn't find you, so I came here."
Xiang Shu: "If you don't see the guardian for a moment, you have to look everywhere? Why is it like Xiao Shan?"
Chen Xing said, "I was afraid that you would get lost!"
Xiang Shu said: "Just now I walked around Canglangyu, and found that the stone pagoda here is a bit strange."
"Yes," Chen Xing frowned, and said, "Hala and Lin also have them. As you remember, it's a defensive wall, but it's locked."
Xiang Shu said, "Why do I always feel that this stone tower is the one of Hala and Lin?"
"No, I remember this keyhole, which Hara and Lin didn't have." Chen Xing touched the center of the stone tower, where there was a black keyhole sunken in, as if waiting for a suitable key.Regarding this, he vaguely had a vague guess, maybe the relic of Canglangyu was passed down by the Xiang family?
Xiang Shu motioned Chen Xing to step back, leaned in front of the dark keyhole, and looked inside. The concentrated expression on the side of his head made Chen Xing suddenly feel a little funny.
"You can't see anything," Chen Xing said, "otherwise it wouldn't be a ban."
"It's windy." Xiang Shu said, then leaned his ear against the door of the stone pagoda to listen.
Chen Xing: "???"
Chen Xing also imitated Xiang Shu and listened sideways. The two faced each other, and put their ears on the stone together. The distance between his and Xiang Shu's moist lips was less than an inch, and the breath of his breath was almost close to each other, almost kissing.
Chen Xing left the stone gate unnaturally, Xiang Shu coughed, suddenly thought of something, raised his epee, and moved towards the stone gate.
"Just the right size?" Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu slowly inserted Momorushan into the keyhole, and Chen Xing was shocked instantly.
"I tried it once just now," Xiang Shu said to Chen Xing, "There is nothing unusual."
Chen Xing: "No, no, no..."
Chen Xing's breathing was about to stop, he raised his hand, put it on Xiang Shu's sword-holding hands, and said, "Just this time, Xiang Shu, listen to me."
Chen Xing raised his heart lamp, and the light flowed instantly, filling the two people's bodies. It was too late and then quickly, reflecting the garden like daytime!
"Wait." Chen Xing said suddenly when his heart was blooming.
Item statement: "?"
Chen Xing: "Call them out?"
Xiang Shu: "No, first open it and have a look."
Chen Xing took a deep breath and said, "After opening it, I may not be able to restore it..."
Xiang Shu: "I am responsible for everything, open!"
Chen Xing suddenly injected the heart lamp, and for a moment the two of them were shining brightly. The magic power of the heart lamp was poured into the stone pagoda along the wisdom sword, and for a moment the magic circle painted with golden juice on the stone pagoda gate lit up with strong light!With the sound of "buzz" in the entire courtyard, the ground is all lit up with light!
In the hall.
"Wang Youjun's words..."
Having said this, Huan Mo suddenly cut off the conversation, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Xie An stared at Huan Mo, narrowed his eyes, and also showed a strange smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Huan Mo suddenly sensed danger.
"What are you laughing at?" Xie An asked back.
Huan Mo sneered, and lightly pressed his hand on the desk. In an instant, the walls of the entire Canglangyu scattered like shredded paper, and floated into the distance. The wooden rafters collapsed silently, the roof dissipated, and the starry sky above appeared.
Xie An frowned, and looked at Huan Mo unpredictablely.
Huan Mo: "Xie Anshi, thank you all very much, for helping me open the Spirit Locking Pagoda and bring it..." While speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and his expression froze instantly.Xie An said in a low voice: "Mr. Huan, don't get too excited. Didn't you notice that the tea you drank just now tasted a bit wrong?"
Huan Mo: "!!!"
In the courtyard, Xiang Shu and Chen Xing held hands as still as a mountain, and Chen Xing shouted: "Open!"
There was a soft sound, and then the stone pagoda disintegrated layer by layer, and the stones that had been built flew away heavily, and the strong wind swept out. Xiang Shu immediately stepped back, and blocked Chen Xing with one hand, protecting him with his back. Xiang Shu saw the shining golden orb in the stone tower over his shoulder!
The orb burst into a blazing light, swept away, the entire Canglangyu shattered, the illusion disappeared, and a barren island and jungle appeared. Xiao Shan, who was sleeping in the sky at the height of the ruins, fell down inadvertently, and landed in mid-air. With a loud cry, he spun, turned over, pressed the ground with one hand, and landed.
Feng Qianjun was hung on the tree, and suddenly said in surprise: "What is so flashing?! Qing'er! Qing'er!"
Gu Qing's shout came from a distance, and Xie Daoyun shouted: "Be careful!"
The two apparently also fell from the tree, Feng Qianjun was startled and shouted: "Wait for me!"
Huan Mo's eyes were lost, he covered his forehead with one hand, his legs went limp, he fell to the ground, the illusion disappeared, Xie An faced Huan Mo who was lying on the ground, suddenly he was at a loss, he didn't know what to do next, so he could only shout: " Junior brother! I seem to have caught a monster! Would you like to see it?"
At that time, I saw a black air emanating from Huan Mo's body, and the black air slowly gathered into a shape.
"Xie Anshi, I fell into your hands like this once," Hei Qi said hoarsely, "You can rest in peace..."
"Where is the evildoer!" Xie An was not afraid at all, drew out his sword, and said angrily, "This is your original form?"
The black air laughed wildly, and said presumptuously: "Aren't you guys looking for me all the time? Do you know who I am?"
"Corpse... corpse?!"
In this way, Xie An completed the first demon catching in his life as an exorcist, and he also successfully brought down the biggest... the biggest boss in the enemy camp, enough to be famous forever.However, in that short moment, Xie An made a wise decision to back off and run!
"Chen Xing!" Xie An yelled, "Guardian—! The dead body is here!"
The black air let out a hoarse scream, and immediately rushed towards Xie An in the air!
The stone pagoda was opened, and the orb in the middle was shining brightly. Chen Xing was about to go up to get it, but then, a figure in the darkness came out with a sword, silently, and directly grabbed the back of Chen Xing's neck!However, Xiang Shu was faster than the black shadow. He made a move, grabbed the blade with a volley!
Immediately, blood spattered, Xiang Shu folded the sword empty-handed, the long sword made a light noise, and was snapped in half by Xiang Shu's most ferocious force, Chen Xing turned around and met the attacker face to face.
Sima Wei!
Sima Wei didn't have a helmet, so he picked up the broken sword, and took Chen Xing's neck, but Xiang Shu pressed Chen Xing's shoulder with one hand, and jumped up with his strength. The people spun together and twisted him to the ground!
"Take the magic weapon!" Xiang Shu shouted.
Pushed by Xiang Shu, Chen Xing rushed up to the high platform in two steps, jumped up, swooped, and took the light pearl into his hands. The stone pagoda lost its mana support, and the solid stone collapsed in an instant!
Xiang Shu twisted Sima Wei so that he rolled on the ground, then turned around and caught him motionless, and jumped up like a mountain. Sima Wei slowly got up, straightened his neck that was being twisted, and rushed towards Xiang Shu with his bare hands.
"Someone like you..." Xiang Shu moved his epee in his hand, and Sima Wei jumped out of the way.
"The lonely king can fight eight."
Xiang Shu said coldly, and then struck back with a sword. With a muffled sound, Sima Wei's breastplate was dented by the epee, and he flew upside down, breaking a big tree with his back, and fell hard into the ruins.
"The three of you went up together last time..." Xiang Shu held his sword and jumped forward again.
Chen Xing got up in embarrassment, and stared at Xiang Shu in a daze.
Just as Sima Wei got up, he subconsciously raised his hand to receive Xiang Shu's sword, and received the second sword on the spot.
"...Don't understand the end yet? Don't give up yet? Still want to sneak attack?!" Xiang Shu said coldly, then provoked Sima Wei with a sword, swept sideways, and made three consecutive sword strikes. Five feet away.
"Stop hitting!" Chen Xing said immediately, "Be merciful! It's done!"
"Usually I don't want to fight with you..." Xiang Shu didn't wait for Sima Wei to land, and jumped up obliquely, flying into the air. Sima Wei turned over in the air and swung a broken sword, but his arm was like a bamboo stick in Xiang Shu's hand Generally broken.Xiang Shu's anger finally erupted, and he roared, "Miss fish! Get out!"
At that moment, Sima Wei was almost split in two, his body snapped, and he flew into the Honghu Lake like a kite with a broken string. The moment he hit the water, there was a loud explosion.
Xiang Shu put away his sword, Chen Xing had already forgotten about Ding Haizhu, and he was full of admiration before he could express it, but he saw a person with his clothes fluttering, as if he was riding the wind and the moon, he rushed towards him in panic, shouting: "Little brother! Senior brother!" Just caught a corpse..."
The cloud of black air turned into a human form, and the outline gradually became clear.
Chen Xing held the orb and Xiang Shu's horizontal sword, protecting him behind him.
"Dinghaizhu, you have been looking for me for 300 years, 300 years." The person shrouded in black air said slowly.
Xie An slowly retreated to Chen Xing's side, Feng Qianjun and Xiao Shan rescued Gu Qing and Xie Daoyun and rushed over, each with their weapons out, facing the shadow.
"Corpse?!" Chen Xing exclaimed in surprise.
That cloud of black air was exactly the figure seen at the ground vein of Kuaiji, it was a corpse!
More than once, Chen Xing imagined the day when he would face Shi Hai face to face in the future, but he never expected that it would be at this time, here!
"No," Chen Xing insisted, "I want to follow you."
Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, hugged him by the waist, and jumped off the edge of the cliff.
Chen Xing never expected such a sudden appearance, and shouted wildly: "What are you doing?! Stop it! Xiang Shu! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
When Chen Xing shouted, the mountain stream was full of echoes, and Xie An and others who were descending the mountain were startled.
Feng Qianjun: "What's wrong?!"
Xiao Shan immediately turned around, and Xie An hurriedly said, "No, no! Observe for a while!"
Feng Qianjun also came to his senses: "This scene will not be on the Seven Stars Altar..."
Gu Qing said: "Brother Feng!"
"Don't bark!" Xiang Shu's voice echoed not far away.
"It hurts!" followed by Chen Xing's scream, "Hurry up! Stop!"
Chen Xing was held by Xiang Shu's waist, and flew down from the cliff. Xiang Shu grabbed a mountain vine, and fell suddenly with force, and Chen Xing's arm was about to be dislocated.
"Can't get in!" Chen Xing's voice shouted, "It's stuck!"
"Hold my neck!" Xiang Shu said, "Don't move!"
Xiang Shu took Chen Xing to get into the crack of the cliff. Chen Xing saw that it was full of plants, so he couldn't force it.
Xiang Shu grabbed the cane with one hand, and reached into the gap with the other, trying to pull a broken log out.Chen Xing hugged Xiang Shu by his shoulders and looked curiously into the crevice of the mountain rock.
"Not here! Let's change direction!"
"Don't shout in my ear!" Xiang Shu said, "I can hear you!"
mountain road.
Feng Qianjun: "..."
Xiao Shan: "???"
Xie An: "Let's keep going down, that... Dao Yun, you hurry down, it's not suitable to stay here for long."
Xie Daoyun: "..."
"Xie An!" Xiang Shu shouted, "Can you hear me?! Come here!"
Xie An immediately turned around and led the two of them up the mountain again, only to see that Xiang Shu tied himself and Chen Xing together with a belt, and said, "Go around to the back and see what is on the other side of the crack."
Feng Qianjun threw a bow and arrow to Xiang Shu and shouted, "Use this connection later!"
The sky was getting darker and darker, Chen Xing's clothes were disheveled, he finally got through the crack, and suddenly found a hidden rocky patio, Xiang Shu bowed his head, it seemed that no one had been here for nearly a hundred years, and it was full of vegetation.I cleared the surrounding vines with the heavy sword, and found that there seemed to be a big battle here, and the rocks collapsed towards the center.
"This is... aura detonation," Chen Xing said, "An exorcist exploded something here!"
"It's something that exploded." Xiang Shu looked up, and saw another rock collapsed in front of him, so he moved away the fallen rock weighing more than a hundred catties, and a bottomless cave path appeared.
Chen Xing said: "Is it your mother and Zhang Liu? We were ambushed here back then. Is there a way to escape?"
Xiang Shu also failed to confirm that the traces along the way were purely conjectures, but it was obvious that there had been an extraordinary battle.
"Look ahead." Xiang Shu said.
It was almost dark, Chen Xing wanted to sacrifice the heart lamp, but Xiang Shu couldn't help but took his hand and hurried out from the mountain.The trail was extremely deep and several miles deep. Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing and said, "Shall I carry you?"
"It's okay." Chen Xing was excited, and quickly followed Xiang Shu. They came here in the same way when they were in Yinshan.
Then, Chen Xing stumbled on the road, Xiang Shu stopped, and when he lowered his head, he saw something scattered in the cave.
It was a nearly decayed wooden scabbard with words engraved on it.
Chen Xing was about to look at it, but Xiang Shu put away the scabbard and said, "Go ahead."
After walking for half an hour, we arrived at the exit of the underground cave. The air was fresh and the sky was full of stars. The underground cave actually passed under the Yangtze River and came to the shore of Honghu Lake.
With the help of starlight, the two of them clearly saw a line of bells and drums on the ancient wooden scabbard that was nearly half decayed.
"It's as immovable as a mountain," Chen Xing murmured, "This is the original scabbard."
The mild steel scabbard was made by Zhang Liu later, and the one found in the cave is exactly the scabbard that Xiang Yuyan used when she left home with the epee!
Xiang Shu stood on the shore of Honghu Lake and looked around. The waves of the lake lapped on the shore one after another.
"My mother and Zhang Liu escaped from here," Xiang Shu said.
It was already dark, Chen Xing said, "We'll investigate after sunrise?"
A solitary moon, at the end of the lake, rising from a place where the water and the sky are the same color, the moonlight is in the middle, there is an island not far from the lake, and a temple appears in the island, the scene is really lonely and deserted, there are stone roads on the peninsula, and The shore is connected.
Xiang Shu drew his arrows and shot three times in a row into the sky, Ming Di made a mark towards Xie An and the others.
"There is only one way," Xiang Shu said, "to go to the island, then take a raft across Honghu Lake to the other side, and have a look."
There is actually such a secluded ancient building here. Chen Xing observes the building at the end of the road, which looks like a Taoist place for alchemists to practice. The Taoism has the style of the Han Dynasty and has been here for hundreds of years.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Xing pushed the door of the Taoist institute, and it opened with a "squeak", and someone inside suddenly got up and shouted in surprise.
Chen Xing originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that there were actually people there. The Taoist Temple didn't look very big from the outside, but when he entered, he found that it was not small. The courtyard was full of flowers, and a middle-aged scribe was watering the courtyard. Shui smiled at them when he got up, and said, "How did you guys find this place?"
Xiang Shu replied, "Passers-by, ask where this place is."
The middle-aged scholar said with a smile: "It's really not easy to come here by passing by. Come, please sit down. We are destined to meet each other. Would you two like tea or wine?"
Xiang Shu waved his hand, Chen Xing entered the courtyard curiously, and saw that the whole Taoist temple was in good order, he glanced at Xiang Shu tentatively, Xiang Shu nodded, indicating that he would be cautious.
At that time during the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were many hermits living away from the world. The most famous hermits were Tao Qian and his group. Chen Xing didn't think it was too strange to meet hermits here.I only listened to the self-introduction of the scribes before, saying that their surname is Huan, and their single name is "Mo", which is a branch of the Huan family in Xuancheng.At that time, the relatives of Shi Huanyi in Xuancheng lived in order to avoid disaster after the Huanwen Rebellion. Huan's family moved away. "In the Taoist place, live down.
"Canglangyu," Chen Xing said, "is there any reason?"
Huan Mo made tea for the two of them in the open hall facing Honghu Lake, and said, "It is said that this place was built by an exorcist hundreds of years ago to suppress dragons."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Xiang Shu frowned slightly, and fell silent, Huan Mo asked again: "Does little brother know about exorcists? Hanshi..."
Under the table, Xiang Shu's finger lightly touched the back of Chen Xing's hand, Chen Xing understood Xiang Shu's meaning, nodded, pretending to be curious, and after hearing what Huan Mo said, it was indistinguishable from the exorcist's rumors .
"En." Xiang Shu also nodded after listening, Huan Mo made the tea, and said, "Please use it, both of you, this is the Junshan new tea I bought from Chibipu Market a few days ago."
Xiang Shu looked at the tea bowl, but didn't move for a while, but Chen Xing was thirsty, picked up the tea bowl, Xiang Shu seemed to be still pondering, when suddenly Feng Qianjun's voice came from outside again, shouting: "Is anyone there?"
When everyone finally came, Huan Mo was even more surprised, so he got up and went to open the door.Xiang Shu immediately said to Chen Xing, "Don't drink anything indiscriminately."
Chen Xing knew that Xiang Shu was quite vigilant, and he never let him drink the water given by others along the way, and said, "Let me test for you first to see if it is poisonous..."
Xiang Shu had no choice but to motion for Chen Xing to watch. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip for Chen Xing first.
Chen Xing: "Aren't you afraid of poison?"
Xiang Shu was immediately blocked by Chen Xing, but Huan Mo led Feng Qianjun, Xie An, Xiao Shan, Xie Daoyun and Gu Qing over there. Feng Qianjun saw Chen Xing and said, "Sure enough, you are here too!"
Huan Mo wondered what their relationship was, but Xie An smiled and said, "We are classmates in the Taixue High School. We were invited out for an outing. We have been looking for these two boys for a long time."
Huan Mo smiled and said, "Brother is also in Taixue?"
"Live to be old, learn to be old," Xie An said with a smile, "In the age of forty, one must practice diligently."
Huan Mo looked at Xiao Shan again, Xiao Shan was still carrying something to eat, and said to Chen Xing, "I'm hungry, let's eat."
Xie An said: "He is a little child prodigy in our Taixue, he can read and make a fuss at the age of five."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Huan Wen saw that Xiao Shan didn't look like a scholar, but since he said so, he had no choice but not to ask.
Feng Qianjun said: "I'm really bothering brother Huan. We are planning to find a place for dinner. Do you want to join us?"
Huan Mo said: "I have used it. If you don't mind, there is a guest room upstairs. Don't bother tonight. Just spend the night here. When the boat arrives tomorrow, someone will take you there. "
Xie An applauded immediately, introduced himself as Xie and named Bai Qiu, and the few of them occupied the magpie's nest like this, without being polite at all, and started eating dinner directly in Huan Mo's open hall.
Xiang described the findings of the two people's investigations, and said, "It's really strange why there is such a place on the island."
Chen Xing said: "There are always people who hide from the world, but I also find it a bit strange..."
Chen Xing always felt that there was something weird about it, but he really couldn't tell. After the discussion, everyone ate the food brought by Feng Qianjun, and no one touched the tea provided by Huan Mo for a while. Although Gu Qing and Xie Daoyun were wearing men's clothing, they were not like other People like to talk and talk, and go to rest after confessing their crimes.
Xiao Shan stretched, and Chen Xing said, "Shall I take you to bed?"
Xiao Shan said, "I want to sleep with you."
"Okay." Chen Xing replied, and went upstairs to take a look, only to see that Huan Mo had prepared three rooms for them with a floor on the floor. Xie An and Feng Qianjun slept in one room, and Chen Xing, Xiang Shu, Xiao The mountain sleeps in one room, and the two girls sleep in one room.
But Xiang Shu never went upstairs, and sat outside the open hall with one foot hanging sideways, facing the waves of the lake, with the rotten sword sheath lying across his legs.
After everyone dispersed, Huan Mo walked through the long corridor and saw that Xiang Shu was staring at Honghu Lake, so he smiled and said, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Xiang Shu didn't answer the question, and said flatly, "Canglangyu, the owner of this place must be an elegant man."
Heng Mo said: "When I heard it for the first time, I also felt the same way. It is said that the world is like a river, but I only feel that the world is like a sudden storm. Sometimes I am carefree on the top of the waves like thousands of mountains, and sometimes In the valley of waves, mountains and seas are like a catastrophe, and the seas have been ups and downs for several years, but they are all rises and falls on the sea for no reason."
Xiang Shu said politely: "It sounds like Mr. Huan has experienced a lot in his life."
"The most difficult thing is not these," Huan Mo said with a smile, "it's that you can't find your way when you are in the middle of the sea. You can't help yourself if you drift with the current. You never know where you are going. It's pitch black around you. It's difficult. Occasionally, when the sea is calm, there are more dangers hidden under the sea..."
"...If you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces. Even if you are dead and your body is swallowed by this sea, your wreckage will still be engulfed in this wave, and you will not be able to escape, endlessly. Does it look like a person died? In the end, you still have to suffer the eternal infamy?"
Xiang Shu caressed the scabbard inadvertently with his broad palm, looked at the Honghu Lake in the darkness with his deep eyes, and suddenly said: "Sir, do you see that there is nothing in this lake?"
"That's right, it's pitch black," Huan Mo said, "The night is long."
Xiang Shu raised his head slightly, and in his eyes was the gorgeous galaxy reflected by the lake. The silver man in the lake seemed to be connected to the sky, forming a shining ring from the sky to the earth, and then from the earth to the sky.
"But there is something in the sky that will guide you in the direction of sailing in the sea." Xiang Shu raised his eyebrows.
"Do you think that's the direction?" Huan Mo said with a smile, "It's just an obsession. When the clouds come over, you won't be able to see anything."
"Obsession?" Xiang Shu said.
"Young people should not be obsessed too much," Huan Mo said, "If you have too much obsession, you will inevitably fall into a demon."
Xiang Shu said: "Everything should not be obsessed, but I thought, if there is no such obsession, I want to look away from everything, and life will inevitably be too boring."
Huan Mo seemed a little surprised, then nodded and said, "Well, that's true."
"Brother Huan, would you like some of my tea?" Xie An came out at some point.
upstairs.
After Xiao Shan got into the bed and fell asleep, Chen Xing suddenly wanted to take a walk around, so he went downstairs gently.
I only heard that Xie An was drinking tea with Huan Mo and chatting in the open hall.
Huan Mo was boiling water beside him, so he smiled and said, "Then you're welcome."
Chen Xing passed from the back of the open hall, only to hear Xie An say again: "Huan family members, I haven't heard of it for a long time. Ever since Huan Wen lost power, the whole family has disappeared like the world. Who was Brother Huan in Xuancheng? The books that Mister read under his door?"
Back then, Huan Wen was an outstanding general of the Jin Dynasty, leading the Northern Expedition, and was a strong enemy of the Murong, Fu and Yao families.However, because of his high achievements and arrogance, he actually abolished the establishment after returning to the court, and even demanded that Jiuxi be crowned king.In the end, it happened to fall into Xie An's hands, and Xie An didn't refute him directly. He only used one move to go back and forth--dragging, and finally succeeded in dragging Huan Wen back to the west, and the Jin court was relieved. .
It is also because of Huan Wen's actions that the Sima family is now very sensitive to powerful officials, fearing that the military power will bully the lord, so that the court, Beifu, and imperial power are now in such an embarrassing situation.
Huan Mo talked about Xuancheng, and also mentioned the old friendship between Huan Wen and Wang Meng. When Chen Xing heard that he was talking about his senior brother, he eavesdropped a few words, and always felt that Xie An seemed to be talking nonsense.
Not long after, when Xie An and Huan Mo started to talk about landscape metaphysics again, Chen Xing stopped listening, left the open hall and walked outside, went deep into the garden, and found a stone pagoda he had seen outside Canglangyu.
Xiang Shu stood under the stone pagoda, heard footsteps, and looked towards Chen Xing from the side of the stone pagoda.
Chen Xing: "I said I couldn't find you, so I came here."
Xiang Shu: "If you don't see the guardian for a moment, you have to look everywhere? Why is it like Xiao Shan?"
Chen Xing said, "I was afraid that you would get lost!"
Xiang Shu said: "Just now I walked around Canglangyu, and found that the stone pagoda here is a bit strange."
"Yes," Chen Xing frowned, and said, "Hala and Lin also have them. As you remember, it's a defensive wall, but it's locked."
Xiang Shu said, "Why do I always feel that this stone tower is the one of Hala and Lin?"
"No, I remember this keyhole, which Hara and Lin didn't have." Chen Xing touched the center of the stone tower, where there was a black keyhole sunken in, as if waiting for a suitable key.Regarding this, he vaguely had a vague guess, maybe the relic of Canglangyu was passed down by the Xiang family?
Xiang Shu motioned Chen Xing to step back, leaned in front of the dark keyhole, and looked inside. The concentrated expression on the side of his head made Chen Xing suddenly feel a little funny.
"You can't see anything," Chen Xing said, "otherwise it wouldn't be a ban."
"It's windy." Xiang Shu said, then leaned his ear against the door of the stone pagoda to listen.
Chen Xing: "???"
Chen Xing also imitated Xiang Shu and listened sideways. The two faced each other, and put their ears on the stone together. The distance between his and Xiang Shu's moist lips was less than an inch, and the breath of his breath was almost close to each other, almost kissing.
Chen Xing left the stone gate unnaturally, Xiang Shu coughed, suddenly thought of something, raised his epee, and moved towards the stone gate.
"Just the right size?" Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu slowly inserted Momorushan into the keyhole, and Chen Xing was shocked instantly.
"I tried it once just now," Xiang Shu said to Chen Xing, "There is nothing unusual."
Chen Xing: "No, no, no..."
Chen Xing's breathing was about to stop, he raised his hand, put it on Xiang Shu's sword-holding hands, and said, "Just this time, Xiang Shu, listen to me."
Chen Xing raised his heart lamp, and the light flowed instantly, filling the two people's bodies. It was too late and then quickly, reflecting the garden like daytime!
"Wait." Chen Xing said suddenly when his heart was blooming.
Item statement: "?"
Chen Xing: "Call them out?"
Xiang Shu: "No, first open it and have a look."
Chen Xing took a deep breath and said, "After opening it, I may not be able to restore it..."
Xiang Shu: "I am responsible for everything, open!"
Chen Xing suddenly injected the heart lamp, and for a moment the two of them were shining brightly. The magic power of the heart lamp was poured into the stone pagoda along the wisdom sword, and for a moment the magic circle painted with golden juice on the stone pagoda gate lit up with strong light!With the sound of "buzz" in the entire courtyard, the ground is all lit up with light!
In the hall.
"Wang Youjun's words..."
Having said this, Huan Mo suddenly cut off the conversation, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Xie An stared at Huan Mo, narrowed his eyes, and also showed a strange smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Huan Mo suddenly sensed danger.
"What are you laughing at?" Xie An asked back.
Huan Mo sneered, and lightly pressed his hand on the desk. In an instant, the walls of the entire Canglangyu scattered like shredded paper, and floated into the distance. The wooden rafters collapsed silently, the roof dissipated, and the starry sky above appeared.
Xie An frowned, and looked at Huan Mo unpredictablely.
Huan Mo: "Xie Anshi, thank you all very much, for helping me open the Spirit Locking Pagoda and bring it..." While speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and his expression froze instantly.Xie An said in a low voice: "Mr. Huan, don't get too excited. Didn't you notice that the tea you drank just now tasted a bit wrong?"
Huan Mo: "!!!"
In the courtyard, Xiang Shu and Chen Xing held hands as still as a mountain, and Chen Xing shouted: "Open!"
There was a soft sound, and then the stone pagoda disintegrated layer by layer, and the stones that had been built flew away heavily, and the strong wind swept out. Xiang Shu immediately stepped back, and blocked Chen Xing with one hand, protecting him with his back. Xiang Shu saw the shining golden orb in the stone tower over his shoulder!
The orb burst into a blazing light, swept away, the entire Canglangyu shattered, the illusion disappeared, and a barren island and jungle appeared. Xiao Shan, who was sleeping in the sky at the height of the ruins, fell down inadvertently, and landed in mid-air. With a loud cry, he spun, turned over, pressed the ground with one hand, and landed.
Feng Qianjun was hung on the tree, and suddenly said in surprise: "What is so flashing?! Qing'er! Qing'er!"
Gu Qing's shout came from a distance, and Xie Daoyun shouted: "Be careful!"
The two apparently also fell from the tree, Feng Qianjun was startled and shouted: "Wait for me!"
Huan Mo's eyes were lost, he covered his forehead with one hand, his legs went limp, he fell to the ground, the illusion disappeared, Xie An faced Huan Mo who was lying on the ground, suddenly he was at a loss, he didn't know what to do next, so he could only shout: " Junior brother! I seem to have caught a monster! Would you like to see it?"
At that time, I saw a black air emanating from Huan Mo's body, and the black air slowly gathered into a shape.
"Xie Anshi, I fell into your hands like this once," Hei Qi said hoarsely, "You can rest in peace..."
"Where is the evildoer!" Xie An was not afraid at all, drew out his sword, and said angrily, "This is your original form?"
The black air laughed wildly, and said presumptuously: "Aren't you guys looking for me all the time? Do you know who I am?"
"Corpse... corpse?!"
In this way, Xie An completed the first demon catching in his life as an exorcist, and he also successfully brought down the biggest... the biggest boss in the enemy camp, enough to be famous forever.However, in that short moment, Xie An made a wise decision to back off and run!
"Chen Xing!" Xie An yelled, "Guardian—! The dead body is here!"
The black air let out a hoarse scream, and immediately rushed towards Xie An in the air!
The stone pagoda was opened, and the orb in the middle was shining brightly. Chen Xing was about to go up to get it, but then, a figure in the darkness came out with a sword, silently, and directly grabbed the back of Chen Xing's neck!However, Xiang Shu was faster than the black shadow. He made a move, grabbed the blade with a volley!
Immediately, blood spattered, Xiang Shu folded the sword empty-handed, the long sword made a light noise, and was snapped in half by Xiang Shu's most ferocious force, Chen Xing turned around and met the attacker face to face.
Sima Wei!
Sima Wei didn't have a helmet, so he picked up the broken sword, and took Chen Xing's neck, but Xiang Shu pressed Chen Xing's shoulder with one hand, and jumped up with his strength. The people spun together and twisted him to the ground!
"Take the magic weapon!" Xiang Shu shouted.
Pushed by Xiang Shu, Chen Xing rushed up to the high platform in two steps, jumped up, swooped, and took the light pearl into his hands. The stone pagoda lost its mana support, and the solid stone collapsed in an instant!
Xiang Shu twisted Sima Wei so that he rolled on the ground, then turned around and caught him motionless, and jumped up like a mountain. Sima Wei slowly got up, straightened his neck that was being twisted, and rushed towards Xiang Shu with his bare hands.
"Someone like you..." Xiang Shu moved his epee in his hand, and Sima Wei jumped out of the way.
"The lonely king can fight eight."
Xiang Shu said coldly, and then struck back with a sword. With a muffled sound, Sima Wei's breastplate was dented by the epee, and he flew upside down, breaking a big tree with his back, and fell hard into the ruins.
"The three of you went up together last time..." Xiang Shu held his sword and jumped forward again.
Chen Xing got up in embarrassment, and stared at Xiang Shu in a daze.
Just as Sima Wei got up, he subconsciously raised his hand to receive Xiang Shu's sword, and received the second sword on the spot.
"...Don't understand the end yet? Don't give up yet? Still want to sneak attack?!" Xiang Shu said coldly, then provoked Sima Wei with a sword, swept sideways, and made three consecutive sword strikes. Five feet away.
"Stop hitting!" Chen Xing said immediately, "Be merciful! It's done!"
"Usually I don't want to fight with you..." Xiang Shu didn't wait for Sima Wei to land, and jumped up obliquely, flying into the air. Sima Wei turned over in the air and swung a broken sword, but his arm was like a bamboo stick in Xiang Shu's hand Generally broken.Xiang Shu's anger finally erupted, and he roared, "Miss fish! Get out!"
At that moment, Sima Wei was almost split in two, his body snapped, and he flew into the Honghu Lake like a kite with a broken string. The moment he hit the water, there was a loud explosion.
Xiang Shu put away his sword, Chen Xing had already forgotten about Ding Haizhu, and he was full of admiration before he could express it, but he saw a person with his clothes fluttering, as if he was riding the wind and the moon, he rushed towards him in panic, shouting: "Little brother! Senior brother!" Just caught a corpse..."
The cloud of black air turned into a human form, and the outline gradually became clear.
Chen Xing held the orb and Xiang Shu's horizontal sword, protecting him behind him.
"Dinghaizhu, you have been looking for me for 300 years, 300 years." The person shrouded in black air said slowly.
Xie An slowly retreated to Chen Xing's side, Feng Qianjun and Xiao Shan rescued Gu Qing and Xie Daoyun and rushed over, each with their weapons out, facing the shadow.
"Corpse?!" Chen Xing exclaimed in surprise.
That cloud of black air was exactly the figure seen at the ground vein of Kuaiji, it was a corpse!
More than once, Chen Xing imagined the day when he would face Shi Hai face to face in the future, but he never expected that it would be at this time, here!
