Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 The Journey

Early morning, Wheat City. "The corpse has changed -!" Someone panicked, rushed over and shouted, "Inside the government, the dead have changed!" 'Don't start any rumours! Officers and soldiers stopped at the gate of the wheat city, dealing with the surging people, Shouting, "All go back! That's not true! It's all rumors! A rumour!" Government, county cheng and a number of documents order, together with local generals watching the cage in custody of the Jin Army officers and soldiers alive body. The living corpse dragged the chain, his eyes were cloudy, and he struggled in a large iron cage. "The monster must be caught quickly..." County Cheng tried to calm down, "sent to Jiankang, report back to the court..." Maicheng County merit Cao said: "Your excellency, fool thought..." "It cannot be suppressed!" County Cheng returned to his mind and shouted, "Xiangyang was defeated, hundreds of thousands of people died in battle, if all the corpses change, how many living people can you fight with the dead?" ! Get on the road as soon as possible! Ask the court to make a decision!" Longzhong Mountain northwest, out of the mountain pass. The dog waited in place for a night, all the way running, to Chen Xing kept wagging his tail, three people temporarily stopped, found a place to sit at the end of the road, Feng Qianjun to find the horse that fled before, fortunately did not run far, the project is led to his horse. Standing on the boardwalk silently looking at the mountain view. Feng Qianjun and two people exchanged the news, the original Jin army had known Longzhong mountain situation, after all, not long ago has escaped the village of the people, want to go to Xiangyang city, but Xiangyang was surrounded, had to turn to wheat city. Wheat city government because of the rumor that the Qin army will attack the city, this is a string stretched tight, afraid that it is the enemy's plan to distract the west, and the people can not say clearly, they will temporarily put the matter down. "To be exact," said Feng Qianjun, "until last night, it was exactly forty-nine days." Item description back to two people, never interjected. "Want something to eat?" Chen Xing took the initiative to say hello. Item Shu only ignored, Chen Xing thought for a long time and replied: "Every 'seven' number, there is indeed a reason." But you shouldn't have taken them there! ' "I tried to stop it," Feng replied. "It didn't work." Until the horse carrying the Jin soldier dead back to wheat city, the people finally panic, county cheng see previously sent to inquire about the news of the officers and men did not return for two days, now see the body, know that can not be ignored, hurriedly sent another team of people, overnight into Longzhong mountain. Led by the captain from the previous news early learned the location of the mausoleum, Feng Qianjun wanted to come alone to help Chen Xing, urged, had to follow behind. The result is that this team of Jin soldiers all died in the line of duty, after getting rid of the mysterious man in black, the project described a fire, burning the body all over the ground. Now Chen Xing only worry, is dressed in black armor Sima Wei, at the last moment into a black meteor flight scene. The situation must be very complicated, the land of China does not know where, someone must be plotting something. And they don't have a clue. Nearly a hundred years ago, the successor of the Jin Dynasty was incompetent and eight vassals fought for the throne, causing the Central Plains to be engulfed in war. During the civil war, the Han people attacked each other and suffered serious internal strife, resulting in empty defenses outside the five Passes and famine for years. There were only a few tens of thousands of people who could fight the war, and the Xiongnu took advantage of the situation to move south, Guanzhong fell, and the Han people dressed up to cross the south, becoming the current pattern of Han and Hu's north-south division. According to historical records, Sima Wei, king of Chu, was only 21 years old when he died. He was majestically tall and had extraordinary facial appearance. He was put to death because of "affectation", that is, forgery of imperial edicts to start an army to fight against the wicked court officials. "Do you know something?" Chen Xing now feels that this series of bizarre oddness is second, and the identity and motive of the item are the most important to him. Xiang Shu glanced at Chen Xing, attention was not on him, replied: "I just want to take the way to Chang 'an, passing by nosy just." Chen Xing asked curiously, "What are you doing in Chang 'an?" May be last night three people live and die together, the gap slightly removed; Or perhaps Chen Xing's heart lamp proves that he is indeed a true exorcist, and the attitude of the project has significantly improved. Item is turning over and over to see the mask in his hand, just turned to Chen Xing, Chen Xing subconsciously leaned on Feng Qianjun side. "Don't bully me!" Chen Xing a little afraid of the item, hard scalp said. 'Hello! Feng Qianjun is also a little afraid of the item, after all, can not beat him, also said, "you don't bully Chen Xing little brother, others did not recruit you did not provoke you." "Not bothering me? You Han people have deceived me indiscriminately from Jinzhou to Jiangdong, where I have been imprisoned until now." Xiang Shu said lightly, "If the Xiangyang city had not been destroyed, I would have become a rotting corpse at the bottom of the prison by now, holding the mind that makes me grateful to you, I should save it." When Chen Xing heard this, he became angry and said, "I don't know what happened to you! And didn't I get you out of there? How could I make you so grateful to me? Let me ask you, do you not believe what I said earlier? So you believe it now?" "Are you a fool?" Feng Qianjun a look at the face, immediately after the second half sentence "not like ah" hard to hold back. Guess item description does not like to be questioned about their identity, busy way, "have a good word to say!" Don't do it!" Quickly played a round, said: "Well, since we are going to Chang 'an, let's go on the road together." Xiang Shu did not say more, turned on the horse, a clip of the horse's belly, has gone far. Chen Xing was halfway through the dry food and said, "Wait! You haven't told me what you went to Chang 'an to do..." Had to put the dog next to the saddle bag, Feng Qianjun packed things and rode on the road. Xiang Shu kept a distance with them, longitudinal horse in front, Chen Xing and Feng Qianjun behind more than ten zhangs, when the horse parallel, two people are still quietly discussing. "Your guardian doesn't look like a bad guy," Mr. Feng said. "Believe me, he won't stab you with his sword at the first word." "Yes, he only throws money at me." Chen Xing said. "That gold ingot is a test of my ability." Feng Qianjun said, "At that time he had found me behind you, even if you do not hide, it will not really hit you." "Thanks for his mercy, then." Chen Xing disapproved, thought this person is a son of a bitch, also rob my things. Chen Xing, frowning deeply, observed the story not far ahead and said to Feng Qianjun: "What did he go to Chang 'an to do?" "Looking for people." "Isn't it obvious? The Hu people are all in the north, and Chang 'an is Fu Jian's territory..." Chen Xing suddenly remembered the sentence on the roster presented by Zhu Xu "guessed that it was a military attache", perhaps when he caught the item, what valuables were confiscated, according to which he deduced? Who is he? A hundred long? A military officer? Twenty years old can sit in a position, presumably not too high, can not be a general. Feng Qianjun: "However, I don't think he has any intention of being your guardian." Chen Xing was unimpressed: "I felt it a long time ago." Chen Xing thought about it, and thought of Sima Wei body that flew away into black fire, flying to the northwest at that time. It is exactly the direction of Chang 'an, but farther northwest, there are Liangzhou and other places. There must be a huge force behind the masked man in black, and I do not know where they are hiding at this time, what plot they are doing... What are they going to do with resurrecting a nearly century-old body that has been reduced to skeletal remains? The power of the mind lamp has disappeared for more than three hundred years with the death of all the Fa. Is it also because of this hidden power that is plotting in this hidden place? Chen Xing frowns all the way in silence, then look up in front of the item, item description of this explanation is just passing by nosy, but Chen Xing always feel that he seems to know something. But since you know, you should talk to yourself seriously? Chen Xing simply confused, fortunately, the statement is indeed as Feng Qianjun guess, along the way did not find them trouble. On this journey to the northwest, there are shops and lodges, and when in the wilderness, they sleep in the open. Years of war, Jing Bei to Hanzhong was looted many times, already ten rooms nine empty, can not find the shop, three people can only spend the night in the abandoned house without a roof, Chen Xing looked at the stars in the sky, fingers number of days, his birthday in October autumn. There are still less than three years and eight months left, and the next step is to find the site of the Exorcism Department in Chang 'an as soon as possible, hoping to find the reason for the death of all Fa. The best outcome is to do what you can, use the rest of your life in these few years, to recover the lost human magic, and then pass down the exorcist pulse, in order to deal with the appearance of the celestial demons in the future. Did not expect a wave of not flat, one after another, out of thin air and gave birth to the twists and turns of the man in black. And have no clue, the more I want to let Chen Xing unspeakably agitated, tossing and turning, had to get up to go out for a walk. Under the moonlight, but see item description in a stream after the ruined village, wearing trousers with cold water wipe the upper body, Chen Xing took a look, went to the stream, item description also do not avoid him, so standing. When he was rescued from the prison, Xiangshu had lost all his weight, but now he had recovered almost fully in only ten days. The moonlight shone on his wet shoulders as if it had coated him with silver. "You are much better than before." Chen Xing said. The item is white skin, lean but not exaggerated after the muscle is well nourished, showing flowing lines, standing naked, not like a Huhu warrior, but a kind of elegant gas. Without clothes this is the standard figure of scribes, Chen Xing only felt very strange. Along the way, the item will occasionally take Chenxing to give him dry food, but never eat the food handed to Feng Qianjun. When he rested and camped, Xiangshu would go hunting from time to time, sometimes returning with deer, sometimes with wild goats, and he ate a lot of meat at a meal, and because of this, his body recovered quickly. "What are you doing in Chang 'an?" Two people relative, item description finally take the initiative to Chen Xing said a word. "Work." Chen Xing, sitting on a rock by the stream, replied, "I am an exorcist. I have my responsibilities." Xiang Shu walked to the shore, put on a single suit, his hands a pull tie, tighten, white clothes lined with a wide shoulder and back lines, vaguely with a sense of introversion threat. "For an explanation," said Chen Xing, "you have made up your mind to protect the Fa, have you?" Item description a frown. Chen Xing explained to him that the exorcist has always been around the "law guard" position, in order to protect the exorcist to receive the demon and remove the demon, without interference. And the big exorcist of the General Administration, there is a loud name is "Wu God". Now all day under the exorcist, only Chen Xing one, naturally he is the "big exorcist", as for the Wu God, the heart lamp for him pointed out the project of the guardian, Chen Xing himself has no choice, but also want to explain a spell, Shenzhou... "Find someone else." Xiang Shu casually said, "You save my life, I save your life, even." Xiangshu saved Chen Xing more than once, especially in front of the Chu mausoleum Chen Xing reckless, if not for Xiangshu quickly, almost will be killed by black fire. Although the black fire did not burn him to death, but this is not what the guardian should do? Chen Xing was not angry when he heard this, in fact, for a person with little time and only three years and eight months to live, many things would not be stimulating to him, at most a little uncomfortable. "Ok." Chen Xing witnessed the departure of the back, said, "Originally did not hold much hope, but at least respect your idea, since refused, we go to Chang 'an after the bridge to the bridge, the road back." Item of the walk, the rest of Chen Xing facing streams, very melancholy. There is much he has yet to explain, including the relationship between the exorcist and the guardian. It also includes more than three hundred years ago, when exorcism was at its peak, the guardian was a person who lived and died with the exorcist. On the way from Huashan, Chen Xing had more than once fantasized about the appearance and temper of the guardian, and how to explain to him after meeting, at least someone accompanied him in the remaining four years, many dare not think, at least not lonely. The luck of the New Year star solved all the problems for him, but it had no effect on this matter, and perhaps this problem related to the heart lamp and the transportation of the gods, even the New Year star was powerless. Chen Xing was full of expectations at first, intending to entrust the remaining four years to him, but the expectation gradually turned into disappointment, he wanted to explain with many words, but what is the use of saying it? Xiang Shu did not care at all, nor did he care, and did not care about him. What happens next? Another one? Will the lamp replace me? It's not like it's a fling or something. Chen Xing wanted to scatter his mind to amuse himself, the result is more troublesome, had to go back to the room to sleep, more can't sleep for a while, think about it, only one idea: it is the son of a bitch's fault. After a few days, Chen Xing simply did not speak with the item, that night Feng Qianjun knew he went out in the middle of the night, and did not ask. Along the way, there are more and more popular villages, and the flowers and birds come in spring, making it easier to stay, and silver and copper coins have a place to circulate. Three people so through Wu Guan, wheat city issued documents, Chen Xing will take two people to pass. After a few days of traveling, we arrived at Chang 'an City. Chang 'an after more than a hundred years of war, every time the owner changed, it was a looting and burning, but this city since the Zhou time was named Haojing from that era, standing in the west of China, surrounded by eight rivers, the ancient city, is like a giant tree nourishing the earth, in time and again burned and destroyed to show amazing vitality, lush, singing and dancing. Full of bustling scenery. Guanzhong and even the front line of fierce battles with the South were in flames, but Chang 'an was on the rise. Even if the people of the Central Plains came ten miles away to flee, starve and die on the roadside and the wilderness, the high walls of Chang 'an blocked the plague, blocked the hunger, blocked the disaster and the war. And prevent death. Like a vibrant oasis in a desert, a world of its own. Jinbi mansion cornice to look, tile top adjacent, bright Weiyang palace purple gas to the east, the palace has already changed the owner. The flowers in Shanglin Garden are blooming magnificently in spring. Hu people walk in the street to fight chicken, people laugh, Han Hu mixed, high nose and deep purpose of the Hu people come and go, regardless of Han Hu, the clothes are bright and gorgeous, Di, Jian, fresh and humble language, Tiele language, Xiongnu language can be heard. The goods on the market are dazzling, and the readers are green and covered like clouds. The last time to Chang 'an, is still five years old, the memory of Chang 'an has long been blurred, now a see this scene, Chen Xing suddenly a kind of unspeakable taste. "Although Fu Jian was a Hu emperor, he governed Chang 'an well." Chen Xing sour way. He and Feng Qianjun, Xiang Shu three people on the road for nearly half a month, a wind and dust, into Chang 'an like a bumpkin. The description is still the Orion suit, but do not care about it, looking at a group of Hu people in the city street not far from the side, as if to hear the local sound, was aroused attention. Feng Qianjun said, "Yes, I think we can spare his life for the time being." The three men each ordered a bowl of noodles at a noodle stall on Chang 'an Street as a farewell party for their temporary travel companions. After dinner, Chen Xing inquired about the small two people, Feng Qianjun went to pay the money, and said: "Since we have arrived in Chang 'an, I think it is not as good as..." With that, Feng Qianjun hesitated a little, looked at Chen Xing and asked: "Either you go to the eldest brother's place to live for two days first?" Chen Xing knew Feng Qianjun this is polite, although on the way to take care of each other, but after all just meet by chance, busy way: "Don't bother Brother Feng, I have a place, just learned that he is indeed in Chang 'an, just to Chang 'an to go to an old friend." You help me keep the dog for a while, I am not very good to take care of." "All right." Feng Qianjun took the dog in his arms and said readily, "I have a letter to send to Songbai House in the west of the city, and it seems that I will probably have to stay in Chang 'an for some time." As for Xiang Shu, Feng Qianjun did not ask him, only whistled at him and said: "Tianchi will be left to you to take care of." Chen Xing thought about what to do with him, Feng QianjunThen put on the hat, sleeve hands into the street, disappeared in the crowd.
