Xinyuan, the Third Military Region Hospital of Longxi.

At 4:30 p.m., the hallway was lit up early, outlining the bleak shadows of passers-by. There was a pungent smell of disinfectant all around, as if it wanted to suffocate people.

"I came to see a friend, her name is Zhong Ruoxi. Li Qing smiled at the little nurse on duty, "Which ward are you in?"

"Oh, you're talking about Director Zhong Ruoxi. From here, go inside, Ward 302. ”

"Thank you. Li Qing nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the nurse on duty.

After a while, Li Qing was already standing at the door of the higher ward, gently hanging the black umbrella that was still dripping water on the shelf next to the door, and then pushed the door and walked in.

After passing through a short narrow corridor in the ward, Li Qing stepped into the bedroom. Zhong Ruoxi was quietly leaning on the head of the bed, staring at him without blinking, the two of them looked at each other, and then each pretended to stagger their gazes casually.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to knock on the door. Li Qing stood at the door and said with a smile.

"Come here, sit down next to me. Zhong Ruoxi turned her head and blinked her beautiful eyes, "Li Qing, what I promised you, I didn't do it." The Central Military Department sent an investigation team to collect the relevant materials of the deep well plan. Huang Jingyuan... I really didn't expect him to betray us. ”

Li Qing sat on the edge of the bed, hesitated for a while, and held Zhong Ruoxi's soft and white jade hand with a somewhat stiff posture: "You have done your best, I don't blame you." ”

"You're not surprised at all, or do you already know?"

Li Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Don't forget, Xie Yuyan is also in Longxi." And it wasn't a problem in the first place, I disbanded the team yesterday. ”

Zhong Ruoxi gently held her forehead with a jade hand: "I still feel uneasy, this is a time-bomb, I don't know when it will be blown up." ”

"Instead of worrying about this, think about yourself. Li Qing raised his head and stared at the delicate and pretty cheeks, "How is your body?" When do you plan to be discharged from the hospital?"

"The original plan was to be discharged from the hospital yesterday, but you didn't come for a long time, so I had to delay it for two days and be discharged tomorrow. Zhong Ruoxi chuckled, "You really don't have a conscience, you only came to see me on the third day after you came back." Anyway, I've been a comrade-in-arms for nearly a month. ”

"You have to let me rest, and I haven't asked Qian Liming to send you a message. Li Qing opened his hand lightly, stood up and tilted his head to look at Zhong Ruoxi, "So, you're about to go back to Lingang, right?"

"Well, I'll be back tomorrow. What about you, why don't you go with me?" Zhong Ruoxi blinked her beautiful eyes and asked, "I have already applied to the chief executive for an amnesty for you, and it will be approved soon, and you can go back to the Li family mansion." ”

"I want to go back too, but there's something else here, you know, Zhenfan Gulou..."

"Li Qing, the ancient building of the town is nothing in itself, but it is a mass grave. I don't know how many people have died from a vague rumor, and I don't want you to be one of them. Zhong Ruoxi's cheeks turned cold, "There is nothing in there that humans dream of, only greed and **, my advice to you is to blow it up directly if you find it." ”

"I understand. Li Qing exhaled softly, "I heard Gu Yue talk a lot about the ancient building of the Zhen Domain, and I gradually sorted out the context. I find that the smarter a person is, the more stupid he is in some places. Thank you for your suggestion, I completely agree, but before that, let's pay off the debt owed by the Li family. ”

"Looks like you know everything. ”

"It's not all, but I've known what I've been tied to for so long. Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Now that I think about it, I really don't think it's worth it, my parents died too unjustly." ”

"You rest, I'll go back first. Li Qing took half a step back.

Zhong Ruoxi was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth pulled up a faint arc: "I was waiting for you in Lingang, I really didn't expect that I would come all the way to arrest you, but in the end I ended up with such an ending, this is probably the most failed pursuit." ”

"Is it because the Lord is going to be captured?" Li Qing asked casually, seeing Zhong Ruoxi biting her red lip lightly and not speaking, she immediately chuckled again, "Just kidding." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Qing walked to the side of the bed again and stared at Zhong Ruoxi's bright eyes: "I still have one thing to do." ”

"What?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Qing had already leaned down and kissed Zhong Ruoxi's eyebrows gently.

"To commemorate your pursuit across the entire China, from east to west trekking nearly 10,000 miles. Li Qing blinked and pulled away, "Don't blame me for being too light, it's you who fouled." ”

Leaving Zhong Ruoxi sitting on the bed stupid, Li Qing had already walked out of the ward, gently closed the door, and then took the umbrella on the shelf.

Walking quickly out of the hospital building, Li Qing walked along the street for a while and got into an off-road vehicle at the first intersection.

"It's over so soon?" Gu Yue looked at the time, blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled, "I thought you would spend the night there." ”

"Let's drive. Commanding the driver, Li Qing leaned back, and suddenly said, "I kissed her." ”

Gu Yue stiffened for a moment, and then a touch of annoyance surged up on her beautiful cheeks: "This kind of thing, tell me what to do!"

"I know it's not the right thing to say to you. Li Qing pursed his lips, "But I still want to find someone to share, and by the way, I want to see how angry you look." ”

"You're so bored. Gu Yue turned her face away, stared at the heavy rain outside the car window, and frowned slightly.

"You still have injuries, does it really matter?" Li Qing glanced at Gu Yue and asked casually.

"Aren't you going to protect me?"

"Okay. Li Qing nodded and smiled bitterly.

After yesterday's casual meal, the members of the first team have gone their separate ways this morning. The current Four Seasons Inn has long been empty.

Li Qing was silent for a while, and suddenly grabbed Gu Yue's hand tightly.

"What are you doing?" Retracting her gaze from the car window, Gu Yue looked at Li Qing with a confused expression.

"It's been lively for a long time, and I'm a little unaccustomed to being deserted. ”

"Don't worry, Xie Yuyan will make you lively again. Gu Yue rolled her eyes widely, but she didn't withdraw her hand, letting Li Qing hold it like that, feeling the temperature of his palm pass on to him little by little.

Cars cut through the night and drove on bumpy roads. Li Qing slowly closed his eyes, as if a chill had penetrated into his heart. Thousands of years ago, the ancients could never have imagined that the miraculous work they left behind would have to endure years of glory after their death, and continue to torture future generations.

In order to expand the territory, King Zhou of the Western Zhou Dynasty led an expedition to Chaida. After incorporating Chaida into the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, King Zhou accepted a beautiful Hakka woman as a concubine, which was doubly favored. This woman claims to have the ability to pass through the gods, can divide the immortal acupoints, connect the heavenly river to irrigate, lead the water of the yellow spring, the intersection of the two veins, and reshape the dragon tendon with the ancient method, which can ensure the emperor's longevity. Generally speaking, it is the Hakka woman who advises the king of Zhou to build a nine-story square immortal pavilion in the place she chooses, and she can lead the Tianhe River and the Yellow Spring up. And she only needs to practice in the place where the two rivers meet, so that King Zhou Luo can live forever and live with heaven. And this so-called nine-story square fairy pavilion is the immortal building that can be climbed into an immortal in the legend of the Hakka people from generation to generation, and it is also the ancient building of the town that many hidden forces are pursuing.

Out of his doting on Hakka women, coupled with King Zhou's own yearning for immortality, he actually believed it and made plans to stop Chaida for a long time, and at the same time mobilized a large number of slaves to cut down trees, cut stones, and began to build the fairy tower. But this nine-story square pavilion has not yet been built, and a large-scale rebellion suddenly broke out in the Baiyue area. King Zhou had no choice but to personally lead the army to quell the rebellion on the one hand, and on the other hand ordered the construction of the Immortal Building to continue until he pacified Baiyue before returning to Chaida. But no one could have imagined that he would never come back.

In the process of quelling the rebellion, King Zhou suffered an arrow wound, and the wound quickly became infected and inflamed, and his life was in danger. The Hakka woman had been driving around, and seeing this situation, she hurriedly ordered someone to send King Zhou Luo, who was about to die, back to Chaida, wanting to save the lives of a generation of kings with the help of the Immortal Tower.

Unfortunately, King Zhou failed to make it to Chaida, and he died halfway through.

The Hakka woman buried King Zhou in the immortal tower, claiming that the gods were sympathetic and could resurrect the dead king. From today's perspective, it is difficult to say what kind of psychology the Hakka woman is from, but there is no doubt that the dead King Zhou will never come back to life.

It has been customary since ancient times that when a king dies, many people will be unlucky.

The news of the collapse of King Zhou reached the national capital, and the Zhou royal family was greatly annoyed. Not only was the king killed by this group of aliens, but he was also buried in a barbarian land, which is really unreasonable! But it was a generation of monarchs, and no one dared to dig him out again after being buried. If anyone does this kind of thing, it will be called disrespect in ancient times, and Zhun Bao will be killed.

The Zhou royal family had no choice but to set up a new monarch and kill the Hakka woman, and then in order to cover up the underground palace where the king of Zhou was buried, he killed a large number of slaves and craftsmen who participated in the construction of the fairy tower, and hid the nine-story square pavilion forever.

But the legend of the fairy building is still seen in many historical scripts, and it has also been passed down from generation to generation by the Hakka people, and it has continued to this day.

This is the earliest legend of the Immortal Tower, and it is also the origin of everything. Throughout the ages, many people have gone to this ethereal legend to unravel the mystery of immortality.

So, after that, more things happened, which made this layer of mystery more intense, and made everything that happened more and more ridiculous.
