Chapter 508: Departure at Nightfall
There are only two years to go, and Xia Xiao's cultivation in the academy ushered in that extremely important choice. In order to prepare for a rainy day, and for Great Xia, Ji Yi hopes that he will show his determination again. Xia Xiao guessed some, but it was not so detailed, so he didn't take the initiative to mention it, just glanced at the sky, and said:
"Holy Lord, twilight is coming, if there is anything, please let us know quickly, don't miss the trip. ”
"Can you be confident this time?"
"Yes! The ministers will try to burn more grain and grass from Nanshang, plus the poison given by the poisonous elder, to ensure that they will have to recuperate for a month before they can attack. ”
"It's hard work, but the blow should come second, and the most important thing is your safety. ”
"Thank you for your concern, the minister will protect his life. ”
It is said that human life is like a mustard, but Xia Xiao will be the most tenacious one, no matter what kind of attack he faces, even if he escapes from the wilderness, he will live. No one can let him die, no matter if a thousand people die, no matter if ten thousand people die, he will be fine.
This is a sick desire to survive, and I don't know when it will take root in Xia Xiao's heart. It suddenly appeared, but it didn't attract much attention from Xia Xiao, because his own thoughts were so selfish.
Xia Xiao turned around and prepared to leave, it was useless to drag on like this, and he had nothing to talk about with this emperor. It's not a person from the same world, and he thinks about things differently, but Ji Yi suddenly stopped him.
"Knowing that you like to use knives, I have found a spiritual weapon for you, hoping that it will help you. ”
Yi handed it over with both hands, and Xia Xiao took it with both hands, a little surprised.
There are very few spiritual artifacts in the world, because the forging method has been lost, and there is no longer anyone who is immersed in it to explore and study. In the current wilderness, more and more people are impetuous, and the first feeling of coming out after staying in the academy for a long time is like that. Impetuousness is not impatience, but there is a different kind of strong resistance to doing anything.
The spiritual artifacts that exist today are all products of thousands of years ago. But these guys who have no lifespan can exert their strength no matter how long it takes.
After losing the scarlet Pu Dao, Xia Xiao never touched the spirit weapon again, although many elders in the academy also had it, but it was not his. After taking the knife, Xia Xiao raised it and took a closer look. In Ji Yi's eyes, he was unexpectedly happy, although he didn't laugh, but was more serious, but the urgency and joy in his eyes betrayed him.
The whole knife has a pitch-black scabbard, and when it is pulled out, it is extremely dazzling. The blade has no lines, it is like a whole, Xia Xiao smelled a sharp and wonderful feeling, as if it could be broken and healed again, and it would never break the blade.
Gripping the handle of the knife tightly, when the vitality is infused, this knife that simply does not carry any elements of the five elements can switch between the four elements at will. In the midst of the vitality, the edge of the long knife changes, sometimes there are strong winds, sometimes thunder and lightning. Then a fire was kindled, or a viscous liquid flowed over it, and then a large wave of frost, and a sharper black-purple gas, which filled it up in an instant.
If it was an ordinary weapon, it would already be distorted and out of shape, even if Xia Xiao used the knife shaped by Jin Xing Yuanqi, he couldn't help but toss like this. But this simple knife can no longer be simple, and it doesn't do anything, it seems that it was born to be used like this. One of the five elements is far from satisfying it.
Closing his eyes, Xia Xiao sensed the wisdom of the knife. In a sense, the Pu Dao that Shangshan had transformed in the past was not a spiritual weapon, so Xia Xiao didn't pay attention to this process at this time. But the real spirit weapon does not mean that it can speak, or transform into a human form, but that it can have some kind of subtle connection with the person it chooses, like a pet and its owner, who cannot talk directly, but understands the meaning of each other's expression.
In the dark world in front of him, there is only a horizontal knife, more than one meter long, without any extra decoration, simple and unpretentious. It exudes fluctuations in all directions, which is stronger and which is weaker. Xia Xiao's consciousness enveloped him, but he didn't hear the sound of hunger trying to forage for food, nor did he kill the bloodthirsty roar, but it was extremely flat, like a real person.
People are fickle and have multiple emotions, and so is this knife. It had a faint sense of pleasure, and the blade curved upwards lifted the corners of its mouth like a human. This feeling made Xia Xiao very comfortable, as if he had seen himself turned into a knife. Come to think of it, what is the difference between him and this knife?
Most of the time, he is just an ordinary person, happy and sad, with friends and sweethearts, and family members who care about him the most. But in the academy, he is a student who respects teachers and abides by discipline. On the battlefield of Great Xia, he is the son of a general, and he is a warrior who must fight with all his might. In Master's eyes, he is a man who has come from afar, like a savior. In the face of that darkness, he was an avenger, a thug who wanted to slash her.
These identities do not only describe Xia Xiao, he often says different things in front of different people on various occasions, and even keeps silent in the face of some people. Sometimes he acts like a good guy, sometimes like a scoundrel. Occasionally deep and cold, without saying a word, sometimes aggressive, sometimes soft-spoken, full of pampering.
Many people are like this, and Xia Xiao is just one of them. But whenever it changes, the shape is twisting, and the endoplasm will not change in the slightest.
From this point of view, Xia Xiao and this knife that can adapt to the five elements are really a perfect match, he opened his eyes, held it tightly in his hand, and saluted gratefully.
"Thank you, Holy Lord!"
"No matter how good the weapon is, it is useless to instigate the soldiers, I hope it can work in your hands. ”
Xia Xiao nodded, he would definitely be able to do it, but if he asked again, he would be asking for his own hardship.
"Since this knife is a spiritual weapon, does it have a name?"
"It's better not to say this, so as not to make you sad. ”
"Something to do with the word Shushuang?"
Ji Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly. He thought that Xia Xiao would remember her, but he had forgotten it, so let's mention it, and let Xia Xiao remember it all the time. He had to protect the Great Xia Dynasty, because a long, long time ago, there was a princess who waited for him for a long time, just for that marriage letter. But in the end, what she waited for was Xia Xiao, who didn't put on a red dress for her, and it was an unfinished poetry collection that the latter had never seen.
"This is my father's knife when he was young, and it was supposed to be buried with him, but in the end it was kept. I'm not a cultivator, so I never used it, and I just wanted to give it as a reward to the most heroic warriors of Great Xia. Now that you deserve it. But its name is Yunying, and the princess's name comes from it, not from the poetry book. ”
When Yi Yi mentioned that the clouds were light, when he turned sideways, he pretended to talk and laugh.
"My father loved knives so much that my mother blamed her, so she found a verse containing Yun Ying, saying that this was what Yun Ying really meant. But when I was a child, my father secretly told me that Yun Ying's name came from a knife, and very few people knew about it. Now, this knife belongs to you, take it to kill the enemy, don't bear my Great Xia, just slash at my Great Xia people!"
Ji Yi smiled on his face and entrusted him with a very heavy responsibility, but Xia Xiao's face was grim, and he just bowed and left. Compared with his previous happiness, he only showed anger at this time, maybe ordinary people don't understand, but Yi Yi understands that this is a risky behavior, and it is not surprising that Xia Xiao is so surprised.
Xia Xiao took the knife away, but he was indeed a little unaccustomed to Yi Yi's behavior. It is not difficult to see that Ji Yi did it on purpose, he could have lightly mentioned the word Yun Ying and stopped, but he deliberately said it many times. What made Xia Xiao even more angry was that he mentioned Ji Yunying in such a frivolous tone. The most beautiful hibiscus flower in my memory should be mentioned gently, not hurt at will, and the way of words is not good!
Xia Xiao didn't want to be too aggressive, so he just left. When he saw it, he didn't hold back, only sighed twice. He looked up at the sky for a long time, looked at the small lake on the ground for a long time, and finally punched the vermilion pillar in the corridor and scolded himself fiercely. He used Yun Ying as a tool and tried to control Xia Xiao, it was really shameless!
Ji Yi is a Ming Jun, but he is not a good imperial brother, he always deals with unfinished state affairs, but he has no time to accompany Yun Ying. And now, he habitually uses everything around him to achieve his goals, is such a person still himself? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, but if he was not careful, there were fish in the lake, which made him secretly comfort himself.
"It's okay, it's okay, the goal has been achieved. ”
For a long time, when Xia Xiao flew to the north of the city, Xi Yi was stunned for a long time and sighed.
"Yun Ying, you have to forgive the imperial brother, don't be angry with the imperial brother. ”
The wind took away Yi Yi's words, blowing from Xia Xiao's ears, like a girl's whisper. But he didn't want to think of Ji Yunying, who was a tragic character, he didn't know or know her, and she was gone, and he couldn't go back to heaven, he couldn't change anything, only remembered it like forgetting.
In the carriage in the north of the city, two beautiful women walked down. Among them, the energetic one ran to Xia Xiao's side and looked at the strange knife in his hand, full of curiosity. The other stopped beside the carriage, Ying Ying stood upright, with a fairy temperament, watching Xia Xiao and Ju Mang A Candle ride the wind up.
As twilight approached, an extremely heavy curtain covered the sky from above, and also covered the figures of Xia Xiao and Ah Candle, making them face west in the deepening glow.
Xia Xiao, the city in the west of Xiyang City, knew it by heart and could roughly guess the approximate location of the Nanshang military camp. However, they learned wisely, Xia Xiao hid in the clouds, hovering many times, but they didn't find the pile of grain and grass. The food that can supply nearly two million people must not be hidden, but Xia Xiao has been looking for it for a long time, but there is nothing. But Xia Xiao still looked at the side of the barracks and couldn't help but sigh frustratedly.
The southern businessman vividly showed the truth of eating a trench and growing wise, and the losses he had suffered before must not occur for the third time. But Xia Xiao still hovered in the sky for a long time, and finally found it. Even if the grain and grass are hidden in the most secret places, they can be seen through because of the large quantity.
The Nanshang army was stationed in a small city in Bactria and the surrounding land was occupied. But Xia Xiao was still ruthless, and wanted to burn two mountains with a fire.
The tongues of fire clinged to the dead branches and leaves, forming a few flames, and then ran wildly in all directions, causing the fire to grow stronger. Soon the two mountains had a firelight, and little by little they continued to brighten up, forming an arc of light. When it continues to expand, it is like the rising sun in the dark, when the sky shines on everything, it causes the people of Nanshang to panic.
