Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 First Encounter

After a incense hour: the identity of Chen Xing on the emperor's house has long been noisy, and everyone said that the young man came with a very suspicious intention and must be investigated. Zhu Xu said, "The official documents signed by Xie 'an will not be false! What do you want me to do?" The general said: "With a letter, there is absolutely no reason to take away a death row prisoner!" "I'm afraid they're spies from outside the city!" Another said: "The prisoners on death row are all wicked people, even if the city is broken, they will not be allowed to live!" In the guest room of your house: Chen Xing put the man on the couch, sat on the threshold and gasped, wiped his face, went out and poured some water, opened the medicine bag near his waist, and took out a pill of Dan medicine. Open the man's mouth, the man only locked his teeth, not trembling, but could not feed it. Chen Xing thought for a long time, had to chew the pill, containing a little cold water to melt, pinch his jaw, mouth to him forced to feed the past. Is that him? Chen Xing frowned and looked at his face, recalling what he saw in his dream, Xiangyang City full of snow, the building in the city is the palace of the Emperor, no mistake. The light flashed three times, the first time guiding him to the dungeon, the second time it flashed in front of the dungeon, and the third time it landed in the innermost cell of the cell. "What are you from?" Chen Xing wiped his face and murmured, "Why are you the one chosen by the heart lamp?" Someone outside, Zhu Xu want to see him, Chen Xing has not yet arranged safe, is trying to let Zhu Xu wait a little, people only do not go, stubbornly waiting outside the door, Chen Xing helpless, had to hurry with out. As the snow continued to fall, Zhu Xu stood on the third floor of the Bashi Mansion Tower, overlooking the city of Xiangyang. Chen Xing came to Zhu Xu behind, facing the city lights, if there was nothing in the distance, the sound of the flute sounded, as if the piper was crying. "Explain it to me." Zhu Xu said, "Otherwise, you can't take this prisoner away, no matter whether you are an exorcist or not." Chen Xing looked at Zhu Xu and suddenly asked, "Your Excellency, do you believe there are gods and monsters in the world? Do you believe I have powers? In fact, I suppose you don't." Zhu Xu sighed and had to admit, "What we did today was just to stabilize the army in front of them." Tell the truth, and lie no more. Your real aim is the prisoner. Am I right? Who told you to pick him up? It can't be Xie 'an. Are you sent by the hoodlums?" With that, Zhu Xu became serious again and said every word: "Think it through to me again, say a wrong word, you will have your head on the ground." Even if the city does not hold tomorrow, today I am the Lord of the city and can cut you off at any time." Chen Xing looked at Zhu Xu waist side sword, then look at its eyes, know Zhu Xu began to perceive wrong - in the eyes of others, he is just a boy who is pretending to be a ghost. He had put a black cloth between his eyes in order to feel the heart lamp more keenly, but this was not a deliberate deception. In fact, even Chen Xing never expected that the person he was looking for was a death row inmate. Chen Xing replied: "OK, tell you, if you want to draw your sword, wait until I finish." Zhu Xu turned around, looked into Chen Zhen's eyes, and coldly said, "Say." I see what flowers you can make up!" "This thing really has to start from the beginning, when life is really short, it's a long story." Since Master Shi is determined to hear it, there is no harm in telling you, there is magic in the world, just three hundred years ago." Zhu Xu frowned slightly, and unexpectedly Chen Xing began to mention the so-called "magic" thing. "Three hundred years ago, there were demons, magical powers, and people with high powers..." Chen Xing had to pretend not to see Zhu Xu's face, went aside and explained slowly. In that year, Emperor Zhang of Han was on the throne, and Ban Chao went to the Western Regions to set a centurial policy for the Western Regions. The land of China lives and works in peace and contentment, and the industry of Fang, samurai and Danshi is prosperous. According to legend, the so-called "demon tribe" was expelled to the southwest of Yizhou and the Shiwan Mountain area of Yelang State by powerful exorcists, and they laid siege to the boundary and destroyed themselves, and could no longer intervene in Middle Earth. After the demons are removed, there is only one mission left for mankind - to live forever. They believe that if they communicate with heaven and earth, absorb the spirit, and practice magic, they can live forever. But one day, all the "magic" in the world disappeared overnight. Disappeared without warning, all magic weapons under the sky blink into scrap iron, in addition to the magic used in the artifact also become all soldiers. True formula, magic all lost their effectiveness, as large as moving mountains to fill the sea, as small as the five ghosts fortune and other techniques, how you push, are no longer effective. "It's gone." Chen Xing made a meaningless gesture to Zhu Xu and said: "From now on, the land of China will no longer have any magic power." This is what exorcists call 'the death of all Dharma.'" 'Oh? Zhu Xu smiled without laughing and said, "So, what now?" Chen Xing said regretfully: "Some people say that it is the 'secret door' that releases the spirit of heaven and earth is closed." Laozi said, "the mysterious and mysterious, the door of all the wonderful", people at that time, think that the spirit of heaven and earth is released from the invisible "metaphysical door" in the void of the sky, there is no magic, maybe the metaphysical door is closed. So they prayed to heaven and worshipped mountains and rivers, and tried all methods, but nothing worked. Fortunately, the demon race did not make large-scale unrest, after all, in the years of exorcism, the demons were disabled, and the new birds and beasts to cultivate into demons, also have to absorb the spirit of heaven and earth. Without Reiki, naturally can not make waves, after all, light consumption of demon force to do bad things without picking up, only out is also very tired. There are advantages and disadvantages to the death of all Dharma. There are no monsters, and there is no need for exorcists. But the problem is in another place - demon cultivation does not come out, "magic" may not be. "Demons are the resentment of the world." Chen Xing said, "Those who die in vain on earth have grudges. All things are born in heaven, return to earth, after death into the vein of the rebirth of heaven, this resentment can not be eliminated. To put it bluntly, it is pestilence, war and famine. The more people die, the easier it is to gather resentment." In Guanzhong, famine occurred frequently, and more than two million people died of starvation and disease. During the reign of Yongjia, Liu Yuan broke Huguan, captured Luoyang, and Liu Yao captured Chang 'an. Guanzhong, Guanlong and other places died 1.8 million people. The Jin people dressed in the south, fled to Jiankang, with the Yangtze River natural danger and rule. Ji Shi Leke Jinyang, a land in the state, more than two million people were killed or injured. Xianbei Murong clan and Jin general constant temperature in a major war, killed 400,000 people. The Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Jian tribes plundered the Central Plains, never bringing grain and grass, calling the Han people "two-legged sheep" and using them as army rations along the way. Twenty years ago, the Jin Court measured the population of the Central Plains to be 20 million, but when Ran Min destroyed Jizhao, the number of people was counted again, and it was less than four million. But the good times did not last long, Ran Min was destroyed, was killed by the Murong clan, lost Jizhou, the people were slaughtered again. "Then put a zero on it." Chen Xingchao Zhu Xu said, "Sir Shi, there are always 20 million, and the first 10 million or so here are Han people who died under the iron horse of five Hu." Millions of people killed each other, and the resentment was exacerbated." Even though he knew Chen Xing was lying, Zhu Xu still listened to God and replied: "The world is in chaos, and human life is like grass." Chen Xing said: "Going back even longer, Wei, Shu and Wu divided the country into three kingdoms, and fought incessant wars for a hundred years, killing tens of millions of people. So, in the past 300 years, more than 30 million people have died in the land of China. The grievances of these 30 million people, lingering between heaven and earth, have long gone far beyond the limits that the State of God can accommodate, and if this continues, in less than a few years, a 'demon' will soon be born. As for what is the origin of "magic", I have never seen it, and there are very few historical records, and first press the table, pick some important points to say. But someone has to be prepared in advance to watch out for the devil." "My ancestors are Jinyang people, parents died early, Fu Jian and Murong's Huguan after the first World War, moved to Huashan refuge." Chen Xing still vividly remembers the Great war nine years ago, even though he was only seven at the time. The house was on fire, and grandma ordered a loyal servant to send him to the depths of Huashan Mountain under the banner of an old friend, to study the Heaven and the stars, and practice the art of exorcism and demon collection. I do not know how many generations of ancient books, by now the era of the death of all the Fa, has been covered with dust, no longer useful. At the age of sixteen, Chen Xing had a dream - he dreamed of a big city he had never been to. When Master heard this, he thought for a long time, suspecting that Xiangyang was the city, and told him that the dream was the guide of the heart lamp. The Valkyrie, waiting for him in this city, must first find the Valkyrie, with his help, in order to complete your mission. "So here I am, standing right here." Chen Xing finally said. "Finished?" Zhu Xu slowly pulled out his sword: "After waiting for a long time, you finally made up such a ridiculous story for me?" Chen Xing did not retreat, facing Zhu Xu's sword blade, put his right hand in front of his left chest heart, and then he raised his hand, and the brilliant white light burst out in his hand, towards Zhu Xu! Zhu Xu only thought that the young man still had the idea of muddling through, did not expect the light suddenly, and was immediately shaken and blinded. "This is... What kind of trick is this?" Zhu Xu held his sword and could not strike for a moment. "This is the heart lamp." Chen Xing replied. Zhu Xu was shocked and said, "You really are... Mage, can you shine? What is the use of this light?" Chen Xing answered honestly: "No use, only occasionally glow." Zhu Xu: "..." Zhu Xu suddenly suspicious, Chen Xing helpless, the light faded, and explained: "I read the historical records, that the world will have great trouble, when the fall of China, there is a heart of the lamp holder and the guard of the martial God accompanied by exorcism." The heart lamp suddenly appeared in the world, indicating that the resurrection of the 'demon' is near, and I must find the Valkyries, awaken his power, and help the world to resist the danger of the arrival of the demon." "What Hu-Han dispute, is a small matter, the appearance of the devil, the entire land of China will be completely overturned, all the living beings will be ash, the earth will be washed, back to the prehistoric era, everything starts again." No matter whether you are Hu or Han, no one can escape." "You... You..." Zhu Xu could not speak for a moment. Chen Xing helplessly said: "I don't want to okay? Do you think I want to come to Xiangyang?" "After Master's death, I quickly packed up my things, left Huashan, hired a car, went to Xiangyang, mixed with a boat, and entered the city without any danger, and found the city master's mansion, which was indeed here. It is I who must inherit the great rule and restore the cause of exorcism on earth, and I accept it. As a result, I do not know why, with a ready-made strong man, I went to the dungeon and found a consumption ghost, and I still think how to get out of the city!" At this moment, the master book to the roster, Zhu Xu sword returned to the sheath, took over, took a look. Master book: "The prisoner's identity directory has been found, named 'Xiang Shu', is a Hu man." Zhu Xu frown deep lock, for "light" this matter, believe Chen Xing for the time being. Chen Xing paused for a moment and replied, "Hu people and Han people, for me... It's not that important. Well, I don't really like hookers, it's hard, but he's not like... Hu? Do people have surnames? Which race?" Zhu Xu turned the book to the last page, it is half a year ago the escort officer brought custody directory, the first line of sight, suddenly is "demon" four words. Master book: "Taiyuan Yuan year, Jian Wei doctor would have wanted to escort this person to Jiankang, after asking the details of beheading execution, but no matter how tortured along the way, this person always did not speak." When the escort officer passed through Xiangyang, he died of illness, and the item was taken into prison in the city. He wanted to hand over Jiankang, but there were too many prisoners on death row, and he forgot it for a while. "Six months ago, innocent people were massacred in Guanzhong and sacrificed to heaven with blood." Zhu Xu said: "Killed the Hu people, Han people in six villages a total of two thousand people, men, women and children with chickens and dogs at home, did not let go, but also fought our Dajin officers and soldiers, it took a lot of efforts to catch him." There is concern about the lamp, Zhu Xu is now reluctantly believed, but it brings a new question: "How did you choose this person?" Chen Xing was incredulous: "Why was he chosen? I don't know!" Chen Xing was so said, suddenly also uneasy, is it difficult to see the flash is their own illusion? Chen Xing took over the roster, only a few lines: the item, the massacre of more than two thousand people, the Huren warrior general, guess is a military attache, belonging to the tribe unknown... Is there such a thing? "I gave him all my medicine, and now you're telling me there are thousands of lives on him?" Chen Xingdao. "Didn't I tell you not to let him out?" Zhu Xu said, "You'd better change it." Chen Xing said, "Can I change this? Can't change it! Wait, I think we're gonna have to... Take the long view. I'll ask him more after he recovers. What if I've wronged him?" Chen Xing was upset and turned to leave in a hurry. Zhu Xu, frowning deeply, turned to the pavilion and looked out from the house in the north of the city to the outside of the city wall. The distance was densely packed with troops from the State of Qin to the north. At the same time, in the guest room of the palace, the man suddenly gave a deep breath and returned to life. Chen Xing returned to the room, closed the door, looked out the door, and then looked back at the man, alive. What to do? Do we have to strangle him? Yeah, well, he's got to be given a chance, right? And it's my protection! Chen Xing has taken this man called Xiang Shu as "my thing" and can not be strangled. Decide now. Ask him when he can talk. So Chen Xing asked for a basin of hot water to wipe his body. "Your name is Shang Shu?" Chen Xing observed the man's face and muttered, "Hu man?" The man had a tall nose and deep eyes. His features were clearly defined. His face was more sunken because of his slimness. His moustache had not been shaved for half a year. Chen Xing can only simply wipe him, the rest had to wait for him to recover, and then make himself clean. When I brushed his body, I found that this man had long fingers and distinct knuckles, long hands and long feet, large feet and seemingly strong legs. My guard law looks very able to fight, Chen Xing is very satisfied. Chen Xing pulled out a silver needle from the medicine bag and stuck it into his waist acupoint. The man suddenly opened his eyes. Chen Xing immediately toward the back a little let go, pull the needle to nose smell. "You've been poisoned." Chen Xing said tentatively, "I have given you the Reawakening Pill, and for six hours you cannot move or speak." By this time tomorrow night, your body will be back to normal, and then you can eat something and slowly recover." The man opened his eyes, looking at Chen Xing, but a pair of eyes are very bright, just with a beast like dangerous eyes, Chen Xing slightly side head, frowning, thinking about the left guard law. "You were chosen by the heart lamp." Chen Xing said, "From this moment on, you are the Valkyra, I am the great exorcist, my name is Chen Xing, word Tianchi." But I heard you... Killed a lot of people? Is it true?" "No matter what you did before." Chen Xing thought about it and reluctantly said, "If I hadn't saved you, you would not have survived if the city had been broken in a few days. You can't put your hands on me." The man could not speak, his eyes turned elsewhere, Chen Xing pulled the quilt, covered him, slightly tucked better, wondering whether even people with bedding first to be tied up, so that this person is a homicidal maniac, a sudden burst of drug power, not very good control. If that's true, it's stupid to think that you're the first exorcist to be killed by your own guardian. But think about it, he has saved his life, this person looks like a mad dog, should not hand to kill the benefactor only... Chen Xing yawned, really sleepy can not, sitting at the table, lying on the table, side head to see him. Half a month ago, we left Huashan Mountain and crossed mountains and rivers to Xiangyang. Outside, the Qin army surrounded the city. It took a lot of effort just to enter the cityDays of worry and fear, but also have to find a way to leave as soon as possible, Chen Xing is too tired, even can not lift the strength to find a rope to tie the man called Xiang Shu, wanted to take a nap, but unconsciously fell asleep. I do not know how long I slept, a loud noise will immediately wake up Chen Xing. "The Qin army attacked the city -" "The city was broken -" Chen Xing slept sleepily, straightened up, the loud noise outside, crying, Shouting, fighting suddenly rang into one. No way, what a coincidence? Chen Xing immediately got up to go out, only to hear Shouting and Shouting killing has entered the hospital, a cupping from the head, smashed on the roof of the palace, burst into flames, and then went out, suddenly caught a glimpse of the street men and women were burned by flames, dancing wildly in the flames, rushed out. "The city is broken!" A soldier rushed in and shouted, "Go! The emperor has gone to the south of the city! Meet the enemy there! Let's keep at it! Don't delay!" The palace was located in the north, and once the city wall was broken, this place bore the brunt of the cavalry attacks.
