Dinghai Fusheng Records
Chapter 72 Interrogation┃Leave?
In the dormitory of Taichu Palace, Chen Xing still had an irritable expression on his face, fascinated by the magic weapon in front of him.
Put a soft cloth on the table, and on it is the Dinghai Pearl found on the shore of Honghu Lake. There is a faint dragon-shaped brilliance inside, slowly flowing in the pearl. When no mana is injected, the Dinghai Pearl turns blue. Try to inject the power of the heart lamp. , Dinghaizhu turned into golden color.
After returning from Chibi, Xiang Shu listened to Xie An's suggestion and took Chen Xing to live in the palace. There was no other reason, and now was the most important moment.From the perspective of the world, the safest place should be in the palace of Taichu in Jiankang. If Sima Yao can't protect this magic weapon with all the power of the whole country, there is no other way to think about it.
Fortunately, after Shi Hai possessed Gu Qing and drove the demon dragon into the Yangtze River, he remained silent. In the short term, it seems that he has no intention of pursuing Ding Haizhu.
The Yin-Yang Mirror, the Ferocious Drum, the Falling Soul Bell, the Four-Color Seal Ring, and the Immovable Mountain, all five magic weapons were placed on the case. Chen Xing tried to activate these magic weapons one by one through Ding Haizhu, but it was ineffective.
On the night of the first confrontation against Shi Hai, fortunately, Xie An, in order to be an exorcist with all his heart, brought concentrated sleeping pills with him, in order not to hinder Chen Xing and others. The potion poured down the enemy's ultimate boss, Shi Hai, and it will be immortalized forever.
In Chen Xing's mind, he reconstructed the situation when Huan Mo fell that day.
"Dinghaizhu, you have been looking for me for 300 years, 300 years."
In this way, the orb in their hands must be what they are looking for.In Xiang Yuyan's memory, when Zhang Liu sacrificed the Dinghai Pearl, it was glowing, and the entity could not be seen clearly, but Shi Hai should have seen it.
But why did he hide Dinghai Pearl on that small island?Chen Xing always felt puzzled.
At this time, Xiang Shu finally came, and before he got the case, he sat down without saying a word.Sitting cross-legged, pressing his knees, he said in a deep voice, "How do you say?"
For some reason, whenever Xiang Shu appeared, Chen Xing's upset mood would be effectively calmed down.
"What about Xiao Shan and the others?" Chen Xing asked.
"Feng Qianjun, Xie Daoyun, and Xiao Shan all went to look for Gu Qing," Xiang Shu said, "while you were fast asleep, Xiao Shan wanted to wait for you to wake up, so I told him not to wait."
So now the Exorcist Division acted separately, Xiao Shan and Feng Qianjun went to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Jiao, while Xie An, Chen Xing and Xiang Shu stayed behind.It stands to reason that Chen Xing should have followed, how could he leave Gu Qing alone?However, he must do his best to solve the problem of returning to silence.
Xie An also came, sat down by the desk, and looked at Ding Haizhu.
Chen Xing said: "I have finally found what we have been looking for all along. Next, I will find a way to release the spiritual energy in it, and then the world will return to its former state."
"Are you sure it's it?" Xiang Shu didn't ask anything else, but asked the same question as Chen Xing. At this moment, he stretched out his long fingers, and lightly pushed the bead, causing it to spin and roll around on the table. .
Chen Xing: "Sure..."
As he spoke, he lightly fixed the magic weapon with his fingers, raised his eyes to look at Xiang Shu, and continued: "... right?"
This time Chen Xing didn't go into a coma for three months like before. When he entered the water, he clearly felt that the bead released a powerful aura and strongly supported the operation of the heart lamp, which made him only sleep for a day. After waking up, besides the Dinghai Pearl, which contains the aura of heaven and earth, is there any other possibility?
Xie An: "I remember quite clearly, Martial God, what Shi Hai said at the time was 'Xie Anshi, thank you very much, for helping me open the Spirit Locking Pagoda and fetch...', combined with the second half of the sentence you heard, um .”
Chen Xing: "Yes, in that case, there is no doubt about it."
Xiang Shu folded his arms, pondered all the time, and asked, "Xie An, what happened to that King Ba?"
"I'm imprisoned in the prison," Xie An said, "the defense is very tight, and I'm on guard against being robbed at any time. Your Majesty has ordered that when he is interrogated, he must also be allowed to listen."
Xiang Shu said, "Just tonight."
Xie An nodded, got up and left, and Chen Xing and Xiang Shu were left sitting at the two ends of a table. Chen Xing fiddled with the Dinghai Pearl a few times with his fingers, and with a little force, it passed through the row of magic weapons, rolling away. In front of Xiang Shu.
Xiang Shu's gaze stayed on Chen Xing's face all the time, and with a slight swipe of his five fingers, Ding Haizhu rolled back and came in front of Chen Xing.The two bounced the beads back and forth a few times, like two children playing.
"You...you seem to be in a good mood today." Chen Xing observed Xiang Shu's expression and said.
Xiang Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to break it?"
"Let's not talk about the moment of shattering, the surge of spiritual energy can easily blow up the whole Jiankang." Chen Xing said, "Suppose we find a place with no one in a hundred miles to try it out, what will we use to blow it up?" How about smashing it?"
Xiang Shu said, "Is it immovable like a mountain?"
Chen Xing pondered, hesitating a little, and said: "Fudo Mingwang's magical weapon, what do you think are the chances of winning against the last Dragon Ball that existed since the beginning of the world?"
"The sky cracked?" Xiang Shu said, "Everything is happening?"
Chen Xingdao: "The crack in the sky was transformed by the dragon claws of the candle yin. Compared with the inner alchemy condensed by the dragon power, it is obviously one level lower. The aura of green wood in everything is said to be created by the wood god Jumang. The divine dragon that opened up the world... obviously won't work either."
Xiang Shu opened his hand slightly and said, "Success is only one step away."
"This is a magic weapon that has never been recorded in any historical records." Chen Xing thought for a long time, and finally said, "The most suitable way is to find a way for Zhang Liu to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, reverse the entire process of casting the spell, and release the aura in reverse. .”
Xiang Shu said: "I remember when you were by the lake, you almost succeeded."
Chen Xing said: "At that time, I almost killed myself. It's strange to say that it was only one time. Look? Now there is no movement."
Chen Xing tried to inject mana into the Dinghai bead, which was different from the scene of casting a spell in the Canglangyu of Honghu Lake. The heart lamp only emitted light through the bead and could no longer be driven.
Xiang Shu frowned and said, "How do you feel now?"
Chen Xing said: "It's okay, this consumption is nothing."
"What should I do?" Chen Xing was puzzled and had a headache again. The two sat facing Dinghaizhu for a whole afternoon.At sunset, after dinner, Xiang Shu put away the Dinghai Pearl and carried it close to his body, saying: "Let me keep it first, and you can ask me for it when you need it."
"Why are you so nervous?" Chen Xing laughed, but Xiang Shu had already gone out and whistled.
There was no solution to this problem for a while, but Chen Xing's mood also improved. After all, they were very close to the final goal along the way.
"Wait!" Chen Xing said, "What are you doing?" He stood up and followed Xiang Shu, remembering that Sima Wei was going to be interrogated tonight, he couldn't help feeling nervous again.The ancestor of Sima Royal of the Jin Dynasty was revived and became a running dog of Shi Hai. in the dungeon.
When the dusk fell, a cold place was vacated in the palace, and the outside of the palace was heavily guarded, and even more wary of crows watching.Chen Xing and Xiang Shu took their seats, Sima Yao hid behind the screen, Xie An personally led people there, and escorted Sima Wei up.
This was the last of the six kings resurrected by Shihai. Sima Wei's body was in dilapidated condition, his body was chained with iron chains, his hair was disheveled, his face still had the indigo complexion of a dead man, and he was wearing an iron shackle.
Xie An said: "Originally we wanted to cast him in molten iron, but we don't know how Ba survives, so let's do that for now."
Chen Xing replied: "It's fine, as long as he can't move, once he leaves Shi Hai's resentment, his abilities will be restrained."
When several Ba kings showed up, they all had resentment on their bodies, the stronger the resentment, the stronger the Ba king's power.This is a bit like Xiang Shu's power exerted by the influence of the heart lamp.
Chen Xing stared at Sima Wei, and Sima Wei raised his head slightly, looking at Chen Xing with cloudy eyes.
But he didn't say anything like "help me".
"Do you recognize this thing?" Xiang Shu spoke first, and took out the Dinghai Pearl.
Sima Wei turned his head to look, glanced at it, and replied, "I don't know what this is."
Chen Xing said: "Do you still remember what I said in Pyongyang that day?"
"What?" Sima Wei said, "Will you save me?"
Xie An said: "That depends on your performance. As the king of my Great Jin Dynasty, the ancestor of the heroic spirit, you don't want to protect the younger generation, but actually slaughtered your descendants for the sake of a tiger. Under the nine springs, what face do you have? Emperor Wu of Jin?!"
The corner of Sima Wei's mouth twitched slightly, as if mocking him dismissively.Chen Xing frowned and observed Sima Wei, only to see that his facial features were well-proportioned and his figure was magnificent. Even after death, he had not changed much. When the kings were in chaos, Sima Wei was only twenty when he died. Nearly 100 years after his death, he was still alive. Unable to rest in peace, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
Sima Yao glanced at Sima Wei from behind the screen, his expression changed instantly, he held his breath, and dared not speak.
"Why did Shi Hai come to Jiangnan?" Chen Xing said seriously, "Sima Wei, this is your last chance. I guarantee that no matter what you say, Shi Hai will never know."
Sima Wei slowly turned his head, looked at Chen Xing, and said, "Exorcist, you have to discuss the conditions first. What can you do for me? If you don't cooperate, you want to kill me? But I'm already dead."
Xiang Shu said, "I can kill you again, just like killing your brothers."
Sima Yao mouthed Xie An from behind the screen: "Must."
Xie An was a little embarrassed and didn't answer.
Sima Wei said: "Then come here, it will be a relief if my soul returns to heaven and earth, I don't remember who I am anymore."
"What do you want?" Chen Xing frowned.
"Release me," Sima Wei said, "break Shi Hai's control over me, and let me go."
Xie An said, "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know." Sima Wei shook his head slowly, and replied, "The land is vast and the sky is far high. After being resurrected from the corpse, I just want to see this world. I am not the person you think, even if... ..."
As he spoke, Sima Wei raised his hand, dragged the iron chain, poked his head slowly, and replied: "I remember the owner of this body, and I have a lot of memories, but I have already felt that I am me. .Although I was reawakened by the corpse, to be precise, I am a creation."
The sudden words caught everyone present off guard. Chen Xing vaguely sensed that he seemed to have misjudged Sima Wei all along. What is this guy?The only identity they knew about him was that he was a dead person. They didn't expect that Sima Wei didn't seem to be Sima Wei, so what was he?
Chen Xing raised his hand, signaled everyone to wait, and asked, "So, you used Sima Wei's body, and you have a part of his past memories, but it is essentially a '魃' created by Shi Hai, is that so?"
"You and Chi You created me together, Shi Hai is just Chi You's handler." Sima Wei said, "When you were in Longzhong Mountain that day, you used the heart lamp, so the power of the heart lamp and the power of the demon god , like yin and yang, these two mutually repelling forces affected my waking up."
As he spoke, Sima Wei raised his hand again, pointed his broken finger at his chest, and said, "Here, there are seeds of the heart lamp. But the corpse has not been found yet."
After the first battle in Goguryeo, Chen Xing finally got the answer. He didn't expect Sima Wei's sobriety to be much higher than he expected. Now he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't help looking at Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu said: "Since you don't want to You worked your life for Shi Hai, why did you follow him?"
"I can't break free," Sima Wei said. "My body is often involuntary, driven by resentment, and attacks you. It works like instinct, making me unable to choose. The light in my heart is very weak, but it keeps waking me up. .”
Xie An said, "What is the purpose of the corpse coming all the way?"
Sima Wei replied: "At first he wanted to take Chen Xing away, refine his heart lamp, and use it as the host of the demon god Chi You. In this way, the new heart lamp can plant the seeds of obsession in the hearts of the creatures in Shenzhou. Seed, drive all living beings to surrender to him."
Chen Xing vaguely remembered that day when he listened to the leylines for a general idea, and after confirming it twice, it was roughly clear, and he asked, "Then why did he give up on me for the time being?"
Sima Wei: "He found a more suitable magic weapon, Dinghai Pearl, and wanted to use it to reshape Chi You's body instead. Dinghai Pearl contains both the aura of heaven and earth, and it is also the inner alchemy of the dragon god that resets karma, which is more suitable than the heart lamp. .”
"What does he want to do after getting Dinghaizhu?" Xiang Shu asked again.
"Back to the Battle of Banquan, rewrite the fate of losing to the Xuanyuan clan." Sima Wei replied.
Chen Xing asked Sima Wei a few more questions, but Sima Wei's knowledge was limited, and there were many things Shi Hai would not tell him. Only when he heard Shi Hai answering the devil's heart in the Magic Palace, did he remember a thing or two.But they have already gained a lot. First of all, Chen Xing knew that Mo Xin was hiding in the Magic Palace, and that the Magic Palace was located in a certain underground place—the place where the earth veins meet.
But Sima Wei didn't know exactly where it was, because every time Shi Hai brought the kings of the lords into the room, he would teleport through the earth veins.Then it is expected that if Chen Xing was captured back then, he would also be transported through the earth veins and brought to the Illusory Demon Palace.
No matter how many questions there are, it is impossible to find out the truth, but Xiang Shu still asked many details very patiently, roughly consistent with their guesses along the way, and finally asked: "What kind of ability does Shi Hai have?"
Sima Wei said: "His three souls and seven spirits are already able to move outside of his physical body."
"It's impossible," Chen Xing said. "No matter how powerful a monster is, it can't do it. Are you a vegetarian? The only thing in the world who can't have a body is the demon."
Sima Wei said: "His soul power is extremely powerful, and he can use the corpse to return the soul anytime and anywhere, and even mortals with weaker soul power can be possessed and controlled by him. Wang Ziye is just a body he is more satisfied with. It's his only nemesis."
What the hell is this guy?Chen Xing vaguely sensed that Wang Ziye's strength might not be underestimated. During the fight in Honghu that day, Wang Ziye's black energy from the scholar's body was suppressed by him, but for others, this guy was not afraid of any swords or guns. , is almost invincible.
Chen Xing was thinking in his heart, but he said: "The soul moves out of the body. It seems to be free and easy, but it is very dangerous. Even if there is no heart lamp, I can take away his two souls with just the soul-falling bell. If the spiritual energy explodes , will directly destroy his three souls and seven souls. Sima Wei, you don't need to be afraid of him."
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Xie An looked at Chen Xing pleadingly.
"The last question," Xiang Shu said, "why did he revive Chi You?"
"I don't know." Sima Wei said.
Chen Xing has also discussed this issue with Xiang Shu many times. The origin of the corpse is unknown, but at least it has "lived" in the world in a unique way for hundreds of years, maybe even longer. , A little bit of ambition is also normal.From the resurrection of Chi You alone, Shi Hai himself may have limited abilities, and he cannot rule China alone.
With the motive of knowing oneself and the enemy, and never ending a hundred battles, Xiang Shu asked again without giving up, but still did not get an answer.
Sima Yao looked at Xie An expectantly from behind the screen, Xie An thought about it, and then said: "I don't think it's going to be tonight..."
"Shut up." Xiang Shu didn't wait for Chen Xing to speak, and gave the order first, which was what Chen Xing wanted to say, "We will decide whether he will stay or not after we clear up the corpse."
Sima Yao frowned deeply, and when the soldiers took Sima Wei away, Xiang Shu only nodded politely at him, then stretched out his hand to Chen Xing, and led him away.
"You offended Sima Yao." Chen Xing said in a low voice.
"I beheaded five of his ancestors. The lonely king still cares about him?" Xiang Shu returned to the bedroom and began to sort out today's interrogation content. After pondering for a moment, he took up a pen and wrote it down.
Chen Xing could tell that Xiang Shu was in a really good mood today.
"Look at your Dinghai Pearl," Xiang Shu said, "Why are you in a daze?"
"The key point is that I can't see anything!" Chen Xing replied with one hand on his forehead.
"Go to sleep when you're sleepy." Xiang Shu said again.
After entering the palace, Sima Yao arranged a bedroom for the two of them, which was also requested by Xiang Shu. In addition to guarding Dinghaizhu, he also had to guard Chen Xing to avoid any accidents.So the palace staff used a screen to separate the inside and the outside for them, Xiang Shu slept on the floor couch outside, and Chen Xing slept on the soft couch inside.
It was raining lightly outside, and a chill rolled over.
"Because of me?" Chen Xing said while lying on the couch.
Xiang Shu also lay down, holding a piece of paper in his mouth, holding a map in his hand and looking behind the screen, he said inexplicably, "What?"
Chen Xing turned his head to look at the shadow of Xiang Shu lying with his feet crossed behind the screen.
Chen Xing: "Xiang Shu, because you found Dinghaizhu, you think I'm safe. Is that why I'm in such a good mood today?"
Xiang Shu didn't answer, he put away the few pieces of paper, flicked his finger, turned off the light, and the moonlight filled the floor.
"Shu Lukong." Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu didn't answer, got up, sat on the couch, and stretched his hand under the pillow.
"You are the person who cares about me the most in this world." Chen Xing said sadly.
Xiang Shu still didn't answer, he put his hand under the pillow, as if hesitating, but Chen Xing said: "But, I don't want you, because I'm afraid I'm in danger, so..."
"Shut up." Xiang Shu finally said, and withdrew his left hand from under the pillow.
Chen Xing: "Xiang Shu, I think we should really talk about it..."
Xiang Shu got up and left the bedroom in unlined clothes and shorts. Chen Xing sat up and said, "Where are you going?"
"Breathable," Xiang Shu said, "don't follow, or I'll beat you."
Chen Xing had to lie down again, when he heard the sound of the door opening, Xiang Shu left, Chen Xing was about to find an excuse to let him come back, and yelled a few times what to do if someone came to arrest him later, but Xiang Shu didn't go far away, the sound of the Qiang flute was intermittent It sounded, obviously the Qiang flute was played in the courtyard.
Water dripped from the eaves.
In late autumn, the courtyard is full of remnants of lotus listening to the rain, the weather turns cold in an instant, and the ancient music of the Qiang flute also has a sense of bleakness.It was night when the southern land was cold. Chen Xing didn't know the name of the song, but after listening to it, he fell asleep without knowing it.Xiang Shu watched the rain for a long time, and he didn't come in until the middle of the night to fall asleep, but he heard Chen Xing restlessly moving around in the bed. He went over and saw him curled up in a ball, obviously cold.
So Xiang Shu slept on the soft couch, and Chen Xing finally felt warm in his sleep, like an animal looking for warmth, he unconsciously leaned forward and fell asleep on his shoulder.
Jiankang was about to enter winter, and one month passed, Chen Xing couldn't find a way to release the spiritual energy in the Dinghai Pearl, and after returning from Honghu Lake, this magic weapon had no movement.Feng Qianjun, Xie Daoyun, and Xiao Shan would send letters from various places in the south of the Yangtze River through post stations every five days, informing them of water problems in various places.
"The magic dragon must not have left the south," Chen Xing said after reading another letter, "The corpse and it are hiding somewhere, what does he want to do?"
According to Xie An's information, the south has used the greatest manpower and financial resources to lay a net. Although the ships cannot cover all the waterways, it is not a big problem to monitor the waterway entrances.
However, the search network of Feng Qianjun and others continued to shrink, converging towards Jiankang.
"Dinghai Pearl," Xiang Shu said, "Shi Hai will not give up, and is waiting for the opportunity to seize Dinghai Pearl."
Xiang Shu took Chen Xing and came to Nanping Mountain again, hoping to restart Dinghaizhu on the Seven Stars Altar, but there was still nothing he could do.
As time passed, Xiang Shu was also a little irritable. When he returned to the island by the Honghu Lake, Chen Xing imitated the situation at that time and used Dinghaizhu again, but still got nothing.
"Put it away." Xiang Shu said.
Chen Xing put Dinghaizhu on the stone.
"Concentrate." Xiang Shu said, and then tried to lift it up as still as a mountain.
The two finally decided to try to destroy Dinghai Pearl with the immovable mountain. Chen Xing's whole body was flickering with lights, and he hugged Xiang Shu from behind.
With a clanging sound, Dinghai Pearl sank, the rock was shattered, and the magic weapon was intact.
"No." Chen Xing said depressedly.
Xiang Shu put down his sword and observed Chen Xing's situation. Chen Xing was panting a little, so Xiang Shu said, "Take a break." He took out water and let Chen Xing drink.
"Why is it so difficult!" Chen Xing said, "Obviously I've got it! It doesn't look like it has the aura of heaven and earth! Did it recognize the master? But how could it be used that day?"
Seeing Chen Xing's appearance, Xiang Shu suddenly laughed, Chen Xing really lost his temper.
"I really want to throw this thing away." Xiang Shu said casually, took Dinghaizhu away, took a step forward with a bow, straightened up, raised his hand, and threw it directly into Honghu Lake.
"Don't!" Chen Xing turned pale with shock, only to see a "plop" in the lake, and the water was rippling.
"Ahhhhhh!" Chen Xing went crazy, grabbed Xiang Shu and shook it vigorously, but Xiang Shu burst out laughing, Chen Xing roared, "You're still laughing! What are you laughing at?!"
"Let's go." Xiang Shu stopped laughing and said solemnly.
"Where are you going?!" Chen Xing couldn't believe it, he was about to cry, and said, "Can I get it back? This is the only hope!"
"To Chilechuan," Xiang Shu said, "to Balikun Lake, I know there is a road, follow that road, go straight, and you can leave the Central Plains."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the colorful autumn water and sky on Honghu Lake.
"Keep going," Xiang Shu said indifferently. "Passing through the sandbar and Loulan, you can go to a very far place. I think there should be no 魃, no Dinghaizhu, no aura of heaven and earth, no exorcism. Teacher, there are no ghosts and ghosts. There will be nothing, and you don’t have to think about saving anyone anymore.”
Suddenly, Xiang Shu stared at Chen Xing in a daze again, and after staring at him for a long time, Fang said: "It doesn't matter, no matter what happens in the Central Plains tomorrow, I don't care. Nod, I will take you away. Go?"
When those words came out, Chen Xing's eyes suddenly turned red for no reason, and he choked up, looking at Xiang Shu, gasping for breath.The two walked along the way, those who shared adversity, lived and died together, and many hardships happened one after another, and the scenes flashed in my heart.Many inexplicable and unclear emotions swallowed him like waves.
"No, Xiang Shu," Chen Xing said, "we've come here, I don't want to give up, even if I'm smashed to pieces, even if I'm going to die tomorrow, as long as I'm alive today, we still have hope, right?"
Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing seriously, his eyes became extremely gentle in an instant, the water in the Honghu Lake was wave after wave, and they just looked at each other amidst the ebb and flow.Finally, the corner of Xiang Shu's mouth curled up slightly, and he spread his left hand. In his hand was still the Dinghai Pearl, and what was just thrown into the lake was just a stone.
"Just kidding you." Xiang Shu said casually.
Chen Xing laughed and said, "I knew it."
"Let's go back, it's going to snow soon, let's think of a way slowly." Xiang Shu said casually, motioning for Chen Xing to continue to fix Haizhu.
"Put it there." Chen Xing replied.
The cold wind blows, and there is a gentle snow on the shore of Honghu Lake. The first snow after winter has come. The whole Jiangnan is covered with snow overnight. All the colors in the room have faded away. After a night of snow in Jiankang, it is like a blank space in an ink painting.The lines of pavilions, terraces and pavilions are more distinct under the snow, just like Wang Xizhi's powerful stroke towards the sky and the earth.
A few months later, Chen Xing went through all the ancient books that could be read in Jiankang. Xie An even called Jiangdong talents, the think tanks of young children from the Xie family and the Wang family, and even the young people from the Sima family also came. Quite a lot, it seems that it has become a grand gathering for scholars in the world, but there is still nothing.
Put a soft cloth on the table, and on it is the Dinghai Pearl found on the shore of Honghu Lake. There is a faint dragon-shaped brilliance inside, slowly flowing in the pearl. When no mana is injected, the Dinghai Pearl turns blue. Try to inject the power of the heart lamp. , Dinghaizhu turned into golden color.
After returning from Chibi, Xiang Shu listened to Xie An's suggestion and took Chen Xing to live in the palace. There was no other reason, and now was the most important moment.From the perspective of the world, the safest place should be in the palace of Taichu in Jiankang. If Sima Yao can't protect this magic weapon with all the power of the whole country, there is no other way to think about it.
Fortunately, after Shi Hai possessed Gu Qing and drove the demon dragon into the Yangtze River, he remained silent. In the short term, it seems that he has no intention of pursuing Ding Haizhu.
The Yin-Yang Mirror, the Ferocious Drum, the Falling Soul Bell, the Four-Color Seal Ring, and the Immovable Mountain, all five magic weapons were placed on the case. Chen Xing tried to activate these magic weapons one by one through Ding Haizhu, but it was ineffective.
On the night of the first confrontation against Shi Hai, fortunately, Xie An, in order to be an exorcist with all his heart, brought concentrated sleeping pills with him, in order not to hinder Chen Xing and others. The potion poured down the enemy's ultimate boss, Shi Hai, and it will be immortalized forever.
In Chen Xing's mind, he reconstructed the situation when Huan Mo fell that day.
"Dinghaizhu, you have been looking for me for 300 years, 300 years."
In this way, the orb in their hands must be what they are looking for.In Xiang Yuyan's memory, when Zhang Liu sacrificed the Dinghai Pearl, it was glowing, and the entity could not be seen clearly, but Shi Hai should have seen it.
But why did he hide Dinghai Pearl on that small island?Chen Xing always felt puzzled.
At this time, Xiang Shu finally came, and before he got the case, he sat down without saying a word.Sitting cross-legged, pressing his knees, he said in a deep voice, "How do you say?"
For some reason, whenever Xiang Shu appeared, Chen Xing's upset mood would be effectively calmed down.
"What about Xiao Shan and the others?" Chen Xing asked.
"Feng Qianjun, Xie Daoyun, and Xiao Shan all went to look for Gu Qing," Xiang Shu said, "while you were fast asleep, Xiao Shan wanted to wait for you to wake up, so I told him not to wait."
So now the Exorcist Division acted separately, Xiao Shan and Feng Qianjun went to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Jiao, while Xie An, Chen Xing and Xiang Shu stayed behind.It stands to reason that Chen Xing should have followed, how could he leave Gu Qing alone?However, he must do his best to solve the problem of returning to silence.
Xie An also came, sat down by the desk, and looked at Ding Haizhu.
Chen Xing said: "I have finally found what we have been looking for all along. Next, I will find a way to release the spiritual energy in it, and then the world will return to its former state."
"Are you sure it's it?" Xiang Shu didn't ask anything else, but asked the same question as Chen Xing. At this moment, he stretched out his long fingers, and lightly pushed the bead, causing it to spin and roll around on the table. .
Chen Xing: "Sure..."
As he spoke, he lightly fixed the magic weapon with his fingers, raised his eyes to look at Xiang Shu, and continued: "... right?"
This time Chen Xing didn't go into a coma for three months like before. When he entered the water, he clearly felt that the bead released a powerful aura and strongly supported the operation of the heart lamp, which made him only sleep for a day. After waking up, besides the Dinghai Pearl, which contains the aura of heaven and earth, is there any other possibility?
Xie An: "I remember quite clearly, Martial God, what Shi Hai said at the time was 'Xie Anshi, thank you very much, for helping me open the Spirit Locking Pagoda and fetch...', combined with the second half of the sentence you heard, um .”
Chen Xing: "Yes, in that case, there is no doubt about it."
Xiang Shu folded his arms, pondered all the time, and asked, "Xie An, what happened to that King Ba?"
"I'm imprisoned in the prison," Xie An said, "the defense is very tight, and I'm on guard against being robbed at any time. Your Majesty has ordered that when he is interrogated, he must also be allowed to listen."
Xiang Shu said, "Just tonight."
Xie An nodded, got up and left, and Chen Xing and Xiang Shu were left sitting at the two ends of a table. Chen Xing fiddled with the Dinghai Pearl a few times with his fingers, and with a little force, it passed through the row of magic weapons, rolling away. In front of Xiang Shu.
Xiang Shu's gaze stayed on Chen Xing's face all the time, and with a slight swipe of his five fingers, Ding Haizhu rolled back and came in front of Chen Xing.The two bounced the beads back and forth a few times, like two children playing.
"You...you seem to be in a good mood today." Chen Xing observed Xiang Shu's expression and said.
Xiang Shu raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to break it?"
"Let's not talk about the moment of shattering, the surge of spiritual energy can easily blow up the whole Jiankang." Chen Xing said, "Suppose we find a place with no one in a hundred miles to try it out, what will we use to blow it up?" How about smashing it?"
Xiang Shu said, "Is it immovable like a mountain?"
Chen Xing pondered, hesitating a little, and said: "Fudo Mingwang's magical weapon, what do you think are the chances of winning against the last Dragon Ball that existed since the beginning of the world?"
"The sky cracked?" Xiang Shu said, "Everything is happening?"
Chen Xingdao: "The crack in the sky was transformed by the dragon claws of the candle yin. Compared with the inner alchemy condensed by the dragon power, it is obviously one level lower. The aura of green wood in everything is said to be created by the wood god Jumang. The divine dragon that opened up the world... obviously won't work either."
Xiang Shu opened his hand slightly and said, "Success is only one step away."
"This is a magic weapon that has never been recorded in any historical records." Chen Xing thought for a long time, and finally said, "The most suitable way is to find a way for Zhang Liu to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, reverse the entire process of casting the spell, and release the aura in reverse. .”
Xiang Shu said: "I remember when you were by the lake, you almost succeeded."
Chen Xing said: "At that time, I almost killed myself. It's strange to say that it was only one time. Look? Now there is no movement."
Chen Xing tried to inject mana into the Dinghai bead, which was different from the scene of casting a spell in the Canglangyu of Honghu Lake. The heart lamp only emitted light through the bead and could no longer be driven.
Xiang Shu frowned and said, "How do you feel now?"
Chen Xing said: "It's okay, this consumption is nothing."
"What should I do?" Chen Xing was puzzled and had a headache again. The two sat facing Dinghaizhu for a whole afternoon.At sunset, after dinner, Xiang Shu put away the Dinghai Pearl and carried it close to his body, saying: "Let me keep it first, and you can ask me for it when you need it."
"Why are you so nervous?" Chen Xing laughed, but Xiang Shu had already gone out and whistled.
There was no solution to this problem for a while, but Chen Xing's mood also improved. After all, they were very close to the final goal along the way.
"Wait!" Chen Xing said, "What are you doing?" He stood up and followed Xiang Shu, remembering that Sima Wei was going to be interrogated tonight, he couldn't help feeling nervous again.The ancestor of Sima Royal of the Jin Dynasty was revived and became a running dog of Shi Hai. in the dungeon.
When the dusk fell, a cold place was vacated in the palace, and the outside of the palace was heavily guarded, and even more wary of crows watching.Chen Xing and Xiang Shu took their seats, Sima Yao hid behind the screen, Xie An personally led people there, and escorted Sima Wei up.
This was the last of the six kings resurrected by Shihai. Sima Wei's body was in dilapidated condition, his body was chained with iron chains, his hair was disheveled, his face still had the indigo complexion of a dead man, and he was wearing an iron shackle.
Xie An said: "Originally we wanted to cast him in molten iron, but we don't know how Ba survives, so let's do that for now."
Chen Xing replied: "It's fine, as long as he can't move, once he leaves Shi Hai's resentment, his abilities will be restrained."
When several Ba kings showed up, they all had resentment on their bodies, the stronger the resentment, the stronger the Ba king's power.This is a bit like Xiang Shu's power exerted by the influence of the heart lamp.
Chen Xing stared at Sima Wei, and Sima Wei raised his head slightly, looking at Chen Xing with cloudy eyes.
But he didn't say anything like "help me".
"Do you recognize this thing?" Xiang Shu spoke first, and took out the Dinghai Pearl.
Sima Wei turned his head to look, glanced at it, and replied, "I don't know what this is."
Chen Xing said: "Do you still remember what I said in Pyongyang that day?"
"What?" Sima Wei said, "Will you save me?"
Xie An said: "That depends on your performance. As the king of my Great Jin Dynasty, the ancestor of the heroic spirit, you don't want to protect the younger generation, but actually slaughtered your descendants for the sake of a tiger. Under the nine springs, what face do you have? Emperor Wu of Jin?!"
The corner of Sima Wei's mouth twitched slightly, as if mocking him dismissively.Chen Xing frowned and observed Sima Wei, only to see that his facial features were well-proportioned and his figure was magnificent. Even after death, he had not changed much. When the kings were in chaos, Sima Wei was only twenty when he died. Nearly 100 years after his death, he was still alive. Unable to rest in peace, I couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.
Sima Yao glanced at Sima Wei from behind the screen, his expression changed instantly, he held his breath, and dared not speak.
"Why did Shi Hai come to Jiangnan?" Chen Xing said seriously, "Sima Wei, this is your last chance. I guarantee that no matter what you say, Shi Hai will never know."
Sima Wei slowly turned his head, looked at Chen Xing, and said, "Exorcist, you have to discuss the conditions first. What can you do for me? If you don't cooperate, you want to kill me? But I'm already dead."
Xiang Shu said, "I can kill you again, just like killing your brothers."
Sima Yao mouthed Xie An from behind the screen: "Must."
Xie An was a little embarrassed and didn't answer.
Sima Wei said: "Then come here, it will be a relief if my soul returns to heaven and earth, I don't remember who I am anymore."
"What do you want?" Chen Xing frowned.
"Release me," Sima Wei said, "break Shi Hai's control over me, and let me go."
Xie An said, "Where do you want to go?"
"I don't know." Sima Wei shook his head slowly, and replied, "The land is vast and the sky is far high. After being resurrected from the corpse, I just want to see this world. I am not the person you think, even if... ..."
As he spoke, Sima Wei raised his hand, dragged the iron chain, poked his head slowly, and replied: "I remember the owner of this body, and I have a lot of memories, but I have already felt that I am me. .Although I was reawakened by the corpse, to be precise, I am a creation."
The sudden words caught everyone present off guard. Chen Xing vaguely sensed that he seemed to have misjudged Sima Wei all along. What is this guy?The only identity they knew about him was that he was a dead person. They didn't expect that Sima Wei didn't seem to be Sima Wei, so what was he?
Chen Xing raised his hand, signaled everyone to wait, and asked, "So, you used Sima Wei's body, and you have a part of his past memories, but it is essentially a '魃' created by Shi Hai, is that so?"
"You and Chi You created me together, Shi Hai is just Chi You's handler." Sima Wei said, "When you were in Longzhong Mountain that day, you used the heart lamp, so the power of the heart lamp and the power of the demon god , like yin and yang, these two mutually repelling forces affected my waking up."
As he spoke, Sima Wei raised his hand again, pointed his broken finger at his chest, and said, "Here, there are seeds of the heart lamp. But the corpse has not been found yet."
After the first battle in Goguryeo, Chen Xing finally got the answer. He didn't expect Sima Wei's sobriety to be much higher than he expected. Now he didn't know how to answer. He couldn't help looking at Xiang Shu, but Xiang Shu said: "Since you don't want to You worked your life for Shi Hai, why did you follow him?"
"I can't break free," Sima Wei said. "My body is often involuntary, driven by resentment, and attacks you. It works like instinct, making me unable to choose. The light in my heart is very weak, but it keeps waking me up. .”
Xie An said, "What is the purpose of the corpse coming all the way?"
Sima Wei replied: "At first he wanted to take Chen Xing away, refine his heart lamp, and use it as the host of the demon god Chi You. In this way, the new heart lamp can plant the seeds of obsession in the hearts of the creatures in Shenzhou. Seed, drive all living beings to surrender to him."
Chen Xing vaguely remembered that day when he listened to the leylines for a general idea, and after confirming it twice, it was roughly clear, and he asked, "Then why did he give up on me for the time being?"
Sima Wei: "He found a more suitable magic weapon, Dinghai Pearl, and wanted to use it to reshape Chi You's body instead. Dinghai Pearl contains both the aura of heaven and earth, and it is also the inner alchemy of the dragon god that resets karma, which is more suitable than the heart lamp. .”
"What does he want to do after getting Dinghaizhu?" Xiang Shu asked again.
"Back to the Battle of Banquan, rewrite the fate of losing to the Xuanyuan clan." Sima Wei replied.
Chen Xing asked Sima Wei a few more questions, but Sima Wei's knowledge was limited, and there were many things Shi Hai would not tell him. Only when he heard Shi Hai answering the devil's heart in the Magic Palace, did he remember a thing or two.But they have already gained a lot. First of all, Chen Xing knew that Mo Xin was hiding in the Magic Palace, and that the Magic Palace was located in a certain underground place—the place where the earth veins meet.
But Sima Wei didn't know exactly where it was, because every time Shi Hai brought the kings of the lords into the room, he would teleport through the earth veins.Then it is expected that if Chen Xing was captured back then, he would also be transported through the earth veins and brought to the Illusory Demon Palace.
No matter how many questions there are, it is impossible to find out the truth, but Xiang Shu still asked many details very patiently, roughly consistent with their guesses along the way, and finally asked: "What kind of ability does Shi Hai have?"
Sima Wei said: "His three souls and seven spirits are already able to move outside of his physical body."
"It's impossible," Chen Xing said. "No matter how powerful a monster is, it can't do it. Are you a vegetarian? The only thing in the world who can't have a body is the demon."
Sima Wei said: "His soul power is extremely powerful, and he can use the corpse to return the soul anytime and anywhere, and even mortals with weaker soul power can be possessed and controlled by him. Wang Ziye is just a body he is more satisfied with. It's his only nemesis."
What the hell is this guy?Chen Xing vaguely sensed that Wang Ziye's strength might not be underestimated. During the fight in Honghu that day, Wang Ziye's black energy from the scholar's body was suppressed by him, but for others, this guy was not afraid of any swords or guns. , is almost invincible.
Chen Xing was thinking in his heart, but he said: "The soul moves out of the body. It seems to be free and easy, but it is very dangerous. Even if there is no heart lamp, I can take away his two souls with just the soul-falling bell. If the spiritual energy explodes , will directly destroy his three souls and seven souls. Sima Wei, you don't need to be afraid of him."
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Xie An looked at Chen Xing pleadingly.
"The last question," Xiang Shu said, "why did he revive Chi You?"
"I don't know." Sima Wei said.
Chen Xing has also discussed this issue with Xiang Shu many times. The origin of the corpse is unknown, but at least it has "lived" in the world in a unique way for hundreds of years, maybe even longer. , A little bit of ambition is also normal.From the resurrection of Chi You alone, Shi Hai himself may have limited abilities, and he cannot rule China alone.
With the motive of knowing oneself and the enemy, and never ending a hundred battles, Xiang Shu asked again without giving up, but still did not get an answer.
Sima Yao looked at Xie An expectantly from behind the screen, Xie An thought about it, and then said: "I don't think it's going to be tonight..."
"Shut up." Xiang Shu didn't wait for Chen Xing to speak, and gave the order first, which was what Chen Xing wanted to say, "We will decide whether he will stay or not after we clear up the corpse."
Sima Yao frowned deeply, and when the soldiers took Sima Wei away, Xiang Shu only nodded politely at him, then stretched out his hand to Chen Xing, and led him away.
"You offended Sima Yao." Chen Xing said in a low voice.
"I beheaded five of his ancestors. The lonely king still cares about him?" Xiang Shu returned to the bedroom and began to sort out today's interrogation content. After pondering for a moment, he took up a pen and wrote it down.
Chen Xing could tell that Xiang Shu was in a really good mood today.
"Look at your Dinghai Pearl," Xiang Shu said, "Why are you in a daze?"
"The key point is that I can't see anything!" Chen Xing replied with one hand on his forehead.
"Go to sleep when you're sleepy." Xiang Shu said again.
After entering the palace, Sima Yao arranged a bedroom for the two of them, which was also requested by Xiang Shu. In addition to guarding Dinghaizhu, he also had to guard Chen Xing to avoid any accidents.So the palace staff used a screen to separate the inside and the outside for them, Xiang Shu slept on the floor couch outside, and Chen Xing slept on the soft couch inside.
It was raining lightly outside, and a chill rolled over.
"Because of me?" Chen Xing said while lying on the couch.
Xiang Shu also lay down, holding a piece of paper in his mouth, holding a map in his hand and looking behind the screen, he said inexplicably, "What?"
Chen Xing turned his head to look at the shadow of Xiang Shu lying with his feet crossed behind the screen.
Chen Xing: "Xiang Shu, because you found Dinghaizhu, you think I'm safe. Is that why I'm in such a good mood today?"
Xiang Shu didn't answer, he put away the few pieces of paper, flicked his finger, turned off the light, and the moonlight filled the floor.
"Shu Lukong." Chen Xing said.
Xiang Shu didn't answer, got up, sat on the couch, and stretched his hand under the pillow.
"You are the person who cares about me the most in this world." Chen Xing said sadly.
Xiang Shu still didn't answer, he put his hand under the pillow, as if hesitating, but Chen Xing said: "But, I don't want you, because I'm afraid I'm in danger, so..."
"Shut up." Xiang Shu finally said, and withdrew his left hand from under the pillow.
Chen Xing: "Xiang Shu, I think we should really talk about it..."
Xiang Shu got up and left the bedroom in unlined clothes and shorts. Chen Xing sat up and said, "Where are you going?"
"Breathable," Xiang Shu said, "don't follow, or I'll beat you."
Chen Xing had to lie down again, when he heard the sound of the door opening, Xiang Shu left, Chen Xing was about to find an excuse to let him come back, and yelled a few times what to do if someone came to arrest him later, but Xiang Shu didn't go far away, the sound of the Qiang flute was intermittent It sounded, obviously the Qiang flute was played in the courtyard.
Water dripped from the eaves.
In late autumn, the courtyard is full of remnants of lotus listening to the rain, the weather turns cold in an instant, and the ancient music of the Qiang flute also has a sense of bleakness.It was night when the southern land was cold. Chen Xing didn't know the name of the song, but after listening to it, he fell asleep without knowing it.Xiang Shu watched the rain for a long time, and he didn't come in until the middle of the night to fall asleep, but he heard Chen Xing restlessly moving around in the bed. He went over and saw him curled up in a ball, obviously cold.
So Xiang Shu slept on the soft couch, and Chen Xing finally felt warm in his sleep, like an animal looking for warmth, he unconsciously leaned forward and fell asleep on his shoulder.
Jiankang was about to enter winter, and one month passed, Chen Xing couldn't find a way to release the spiritual energy in the Dinghai Pearl, and after returning from Honghu Lake, this magic weapon had no movement.Feng Qianjun, Xie Daoyun, and Xiao Shan would send letters from various places in the south of the Yangtze River through post stations every five days, informing them of water problems in various places.
"The magic dragon must not have left the south," Chen Xing said after reading another letter, "The corpse and it are hiding somewhere, what does he want to do?"
According to Xie An's information, the south has used the greatest manpower and financial resources to lay a net. Although the ships cannot cover all the waterways, it is not a big problem to monitor the waterway entrances.
However, the search network of Feng Qianjun and others continued to shrink, converging towards Jiankang.
"Dinghai Pearl," Xiang Shu said, "Shi Hai will not give up, and is waiting for the opportunity to seize Dinghai Pearl."
Xiang Shu took Chen Xing and came to Nanping Mountain again, hoping to restart Dinghaizhu on the Seven Stars Altar, but there was still nothing he could do.
As time passed, Xiang Shu was also a little irritable. When he returned to the island by the Honghu Lake, Chen Xing imitated the situation at that time and used Dinghaizhu again, but still got nothing.
"Put it away." Xiang Shu said.
Chen Xing put Dinghaizhu on the stone.
"Concentrate." Xiang Shu said, and then tried to lift it up as still as a mountain.
The two finally decided to try to destroy Dinghai Pearl with the immovable mountain. Chen Xing's whole body was flickering with lights, and he hugged Xiang Shu from behind.
With a clanging sound, Dinghai Pearl sank, the rock was shattered, and the magic weapon was intact.
"No." Chen Xing said depressedly.
Xiang Shu put down his sword and observed Chen Xing's situation. Chen Xing was panting a little, so Xiang Shu said, "Take a break." He took out water and let Chen Xing drink.
"Why is it so difficult!" Chen Xing said, "Obviously I've got it! It doesn't look like it has the aura of heaven and earth! Did it recognize the master? But how could it be used that day?"
Seeing Chen Xing's appearance, Xiang Shu suddenly laughed, Chen Xing really lost his temper.
"I really want to throw this thing away." Xiang Shu said casually, took Dinghaizhu away, took a step forward with a bow, straightened up, raised his hand, and threw it directly into Honghu Lake.
"Don't!" Chen Xing turned pale with shock, only to see a "plop" in the lake, and the water was rippling.
"Ahhhhhh!" Chen Xing went crazy, grabbed Xiang Shu and shook it vigorously, but Xiang Shu burst out laughing, Chen Xing roared, "You're still laughing! What are you laughing at?!"
"Let's go." Xiang Shu stopped laughing and said solemnly.
"Where are you going?!" Chen Xing couldn't believe it, he was about to cry, and said, "Can I get it back? This is the only hope!"
"To Chilechuan," Xiang Shu said, "to Balikun Lake, I know there is a road, follow that road, go straight, and you can leave the Central Plains."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the colorful autumn water and sky on Honghu Lake.
"Keep going," Xiang Shu said indifferently. "Passing through the sandbar and Loulan, you can go to a very far place. I think there should be no 魃, no Dinghaizhu, no aura of heaven and earth, no exorcism. Teacher, there are no ghosts and ghosts. There will be nothing, and you don’t have to think about saving anyone anymore.”
Suddenly, Xiang Shu stared at Chen Xing in a daze again, and after staring at him for a long time, Fang said: "It doesn't matter, no matter what happens in the Central Plains tomorrow, I don't care. Nod, I will take you away. Go?"
When those words came out, Chen Xing's eyes suddenly turned red for no reason, and he choked up, looking at Xiang Shu, gasping for breath.The two walked along the way, those who shared adversity, lived and died together, and many hardships happened one after another, and the scenes flashed in my heart.Many inexplicable and unclear emotions swallowed him like waves.
"No, Xiang Shu," Chen Xing said, "we've come here, I don't want to give up, even if I'm smashed to pieces, even if I'm going to die tomorrow, as long as I'm alive today, we still have hope, right?"
Xiang Shu looked at Chen Xing seriously, his eyes became extremely gentle in an instant, the water in the Honghu Lake was wave after wave, and they just looked at each other amidst the ebb and flow.Finally, the corner of Xiang Shu's mouth curled up slightly, and he spread his left hand. In his hand was still the Dinghai Pearl, and what was just thrown into the lake was just a stone.
"Just kidding you." Xiang Shu said casually.
Chen Xing laughed and said, "I knew it."
"Let's go back, it's going to snow soon, let's think of a way slowly." Xiang Shu said casually, motioning for Chen Xing to continue to fix Haizhu.
"Put it there." Chen Xing replied.
The cold wind blows, and there is a gentle snow on the shore of Honghu Lake. The first snow after winter has come. The whole Jiangnan is covered with snow overnight. All the colors in the room have faded away. After a night of snow in Jiankang, it is like a blank space in an ink painting.The lines of pavilions, terraces and pavilions are more distinct under the snow, just like Wang Xizhi's powerful stroke towards the sky and the earth.
A few months later, Chen Xing went through all the ancient books that could be read in Jiankang. Xie An even called Jiangdong talents, the think tanks of young children from the Xie family and the Wang family, and even the young people from the Sima family also came. Quite a lot, it seems that it has become a grand gathering for scholars in the world, but there is still nothing.
