Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Land of the Moon

Even though the witnesses and axioms were hidden in the eastern mountains and forests by Meng Lang and Chu Hong, it did not affect the news of the explosion throughout the Qin Dynasty, and the four directions in the country were in turmoil, and Zhu Gai, Pang Lu, and Jin Lin were ordered to lead the troops, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, a total of 130,000 horses attacked Wohua Mountain, and the war was raging for a while.

In Wohua Mountain, everyone seems to be engaged in a tense battle, the logistics soldiers who did not go to the battlefield, the guards of Wohua Mountain guarding the rear, and even the cooks who cook on the fire, they have been frowning deeply, and every time they walk by their homes, they will look at the tall war hall with sorrow.

They knew very well that once the army was defeated in Wohua Mountain, everyone in this mountain would inevitably suffer from the disaster of war, and the Taiping who had finally lived would be destroyed on the broken spear.

On a summer night, Jiang Ming put the Dhara Soul Ginseng obtained from Jiaozhi City in front of him, and the spirit began to call for the remnant soul of the night spring that had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Senior Yequan, Jiang Ming is here with five-grade medicinal materials, I don't know how to repair your soul, I can't find many classics, so I can only come to ask my seniors. ”

In the boundless dark space, after Jiang Ming's voice spread for a long time, a weak voice faintly came, like the dying instructions of the old man in Duxi Mountain: "Jiang Ming, it's rare that you bother so much, it's just that my remnant soul is in nothingness, and I'm afraid that the outside world will disappear when I reappear, and that medicinal herb can't be passed on here, you're just afraid that you're busy in vain." ”

Jiang Ming was a little anxious, and said, "Senior Yequan, your remnant soul is too unstable, and it seems that you can't stop spending it anymore. If I don't use these herbs to repair it a little, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support me until I find the stinging rock. ”

In the darkness, several wisps of silver-white luster circulated in front of Jiang Ming's eyes, and finally condensed into a vague cloth-clothed man, but his body looked illusory, like a scholar who was seriously ill.

Yequan said: "Where is the Wild Rock, no one knows, Shi'er's soul and even her mind are confined to that holy place, there is no way to escape, and the parchment scroll she gave you is only the place where the Wild Rock once existed, even if she has seen the Wild Rock, she can't be sure if the Wild Rock is still there." I'm also worried that my last remnant soul won't be able to hold on, and I won't be able to find you in the rock. ”

Jiang Ming said: "Senior Yequan, I will not give up, that is your Nettch, and it will also be my Nettlerock." Is there really no other way to help the predecessors recover the remnant soul?"

The Night Fountain was silent, and so was the darkness and the light.

After a long time, Yequan raised his illusory head and said as if he was a little resolute: "Jiang Ming, the price is too great, you need to pay a lot, are you willing?"

Jiang Ming said: "I also want to see you reunite with Sister Shi'er." ”

Yequan said: "Then please." ”

With Jade Ruyi as the carrier, with his heart's blood as the guide, with all the spirit he can consume as the force, with the help of the purifying light of the Jade Ruyi, the fake "Falling Jade" sacrifice is realized, and the Dhara Soul Ginseng is ground and sent to the spiritual space, and the Night Spring can independently absorb the soul ginseng and nourish the broken soul.

It's just that the price of spiritual power will be the complete detachment of the human body, which will cause great damage to the spirit, and the loss of blood will bring hidden disasters to the human body, and this kind of injury cannot be healed with external objects.

"Is there only one way, Yequan Senpai?"

"With my current state of remnant, there is no other way. ”

"Come on, then!"

Jiang Ming is willing, if this path of protection and pursuit must come at the cost of self-attrition, then he must be willing.

After that, Jiang Ming cultivated his body, Shen Yi was worried about seeing his pale face and asked what happened, he only said that there was a deviation in the practice of the exercises, and his spirit was lost, Shen Yi was half convinced, but he didn't doubt it, just took care of him like he took care of himself a few times before.

After a few Jiang Ming's health has improved a lot, his heart is boring, because of the war, he and Shen Yiwei can no longer play at will, Lin Han and several people were also ordered to fight, and Luohu even took away the butterfly, which caused Shen Yiwei to lose his last gossip friend, so he had to go to Jiang Ming to talk after eating and sleeping.

"Jiang Ming, when are we leaving Wohua Mountain? Lin Han and they have also led troops to go on the expedition, it is not a way for the two of us outsiders to live here all the time, if it doesn't matter, let's leave as soon as possible!"

"Come into the house with me, and I'll show you something. Jiang Ming walked into the bedroom, took out a parchment roll from the wooden box, placed it on the table and slowly unfolded it, but the volume was wordless, and no one could read it. Shen Yi said worriedly, "What is this?"

"I told you what happened to me in Yellowstone Town and Yeyang City, but in the final analysis, it was because of some changes in my ability that I had a deeper thought, that is, the consideration of the meaning of life. Jiang Ming stared at Shen Yi, quite solemn, this kind of solemnity is not often there.

"What do you think is the meaning of being human?"

"In the past, I didn't understand, I thought it was protection, so I tried my best to protect Qinglan and regarded her as my relative, but later I realized that this kind of protection was just because I was lonely and unaccompanied since I was a child, and I desperately wanted to find the sustenance in my heart, so I couldn't get along with her as a partner for half my life, but it also hurt her deeply. Later, I gradually understood that there must be a goal for guardianship

The watchtower in this eye is the source of my search, and I began to believe that there is such a thing in the world, which is worth my energy and even my life to pursue, so I want to go all over this wilderness, just for the sake of the pigtle. ”

"What's that?"

"No one knows what it is, but tens of millions of creatures are on their knees like pilgrimages in pursuit of it, and the netting rock is what they want the most, and the netting rock is what they will never get, and I think my netting rock is waiting for me, so I pursued. ”

Shen Yi stared at Jiang Ming's crazy eyes blankly and asked, "Do I count?"

Jiang Ming said: "I think my choice is correct. ”

"I embarked on this path full of countless dangers for the sake of an agreement, it was the half-kneeling request of the remnant soul who was about to dissipate, the shameful worship of the woman in the blue dress with a charming face, and the decision I made to perfect myself. This is what Sister Shi'er gave me when I was in Sui City, and it marked the target I was looking for. ”

Jiang Ming took out a short sword and gently slashed it across his palm, and a few drops of warm blood fell on the parchment roll, and in an instant, the blood droplets spread out like a river, and a simple map slowly appeared on the parchment roll.

"This is what the woman gave you? It's amazing, she can't really be your sister, right?" Shen Yiwei had a grudge against the woman in the blue dress, firstly because of the resentment of being controlled as a puppet for months, and secondly, because the woman was too stunning, which gave her a huge sense of crisis.

Jiang Ming chuckled lightly and said, "Yi Wei, you see, from the first place Zhaoyue to the last place of the Thirteen Immortals, these are the ways I will take in the future, and Nettze Rock may be in one of these places, so I didn't hesitate to go." ”

"What's this red dot?"

"This is where we are, and every time we go and blood falls, the coordinates on the parchment will change around where we are. ”

"This is us, isn't that Zhaoyue right next to us, have you already been there?" asked Shen Yi worriedly.

"No, I didn't leave you alone to see the scenery, in fact, since I came to Jiaozhi City, I have been looking for this place, but these place names are hundreds of years ago, and the terrain has almost changed dramatically, but it can be concluded that this place is not far from Jiaozhi City. ”

"You mean we can't leave until we find Zhaoyue?"

"That's right. ”

Shen Yi was silent.

Jiang Ming grabbed Shen Yi's worried hands and stuffed them into his heart, and asked with a chuckle, "This is my way, I wonder if you will be worried about it?"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said, "How come, as long as you don't leave me." ”

Shen Yiwu didn't say anything, there was actually a trace of confusion in his heart, he just felt that something was gradually draining, just like time.

"Childe, miss, someone outside the courtyard asked to see him, it was the warrior named Mu Ya who you saved a few days ago, and two women were waiting. The maid knocked on the door, and she thought that Jiang Ming was doing something in the house, so she coughed lightly twice intentionally or unintentionally.

"That person, healed?" Jiang Ming was slightly surprised, after rescuing the person, he was placed in this courtyard to recuperate, and later Meng Lang and Chu Hong took a group of women and children who escaped from Songtaoling, and built a new temporary residence in the open space below the mountain, as for the two women, they said that they were Mu Ya's family and insisted on finding them.

Mu Ya was still wearing a black robe, and there were two good-looking women standing beside him, but one of them seemed to be blind, and he was all supported by the other woman.

When Mu Ya saw the visitor, he didn't salute, there was no guest, and he spit out a few words between his teeth, "Thank you for saving me!"

Jiang Ming and Shen Yi walked over, both with a kind smile, the former held his own master's integrity, and said loudly, "If there is still a problem, you can teach the guards to go to the north residence to find Doctor Wang, his medical skills are also excellent." ”

Mu Ya shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Don't bother, my injury is not in the way, just have my wife and sister-in-law take care of it." I am not here to pay a visit and thank you, but you should understand that this time Songtaoling suffered a catastrophe, fifty or sixty people died without all their bodies, and their families were all placed at the foot of the mountain by those two generals, and my family also lived in misery, so I want to come and ask for a place to live?"

Jiang Ming frowned, this kind of request is a bit excessive, the people in distress have no one to measure, and they claim to be respectful, if it is someone else, it will inevitably be humiliated, but Jiang Ming is not the master after all, so he smiled and said, "It's not that I deliberately embarrassed, I didn't come to this residence for you, you should find someone to send you back." ”

Mu Ya chuckled and said, "Sir, I misunderstood, what I want is not this place to live, but to live in the world." ”

The so-called heavenly dwelling, with the earth as the collapse, with the sky as the quilt, stay and know the end, and walk without the end. Walking on the three walls, stepping all over the nine fields, knowing the unattainable, dancing in the wind, resisting the waves, thousands of miles are all under the foot.

When Jiang Ming heard such an answer, the surprise in his eyes finally fell on this Mr. Xuanpao, and he said goodbye to his previous snubbing and contempt, and said with a polite smile, "I'm curious, how do you see that I can find a place for you?"

Mu Ya shook his head, and said a little ghostly, "I don't know very well, intuitively!"

Since then, Mu Ya and several people have been invited into more noble rooms, and the treatment is no different from Jiang Ming. Of course, this is just the meaning of Jiang Ming, the pseudo-master, but since several commanders have left orders to completely hand over the exercise of this small courtyard to Jiang Ming, it is naturally not a problem to allocate a few vacant residences to his friends, but it is a little troublesome for a few teenage maids.

"Jiang Ming, come over and help, do you want a few little girls to carry such a heavy table?" Shen Yiwu instructed the four little maids to pack up other items, and he began to carry the wooden table hidden in the warehouse, Jiang Ming hurriedly smiled bitterly and took his hand, with his strength, he could naturally carry it easily, but he was a little unhappy.

"I've enjoyed it too much during this time, I used to eat and drink by myself, and I forgot to measure myself when someone served me, but I didn't expect it, you were careful, I thought you were better, for these are common ......"

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice, "After my father left, in order to prevent me from going out without permission, they only arranged two maids for me, they were not treated well in the middle, I naturally treated them like sisters, and later when I left home, I was not used to the behavior of calling people to be powerful, but it was also a habit." ”

Coming into contact with Shen Yi's gloomy gaze, Jiang Ming only thought that she remembered the past again, so she didn't dare to say more. Although it is a migration, in fact, Mu Ya and the others have no belongings, the matter of Songtaoling is too sudden, and they are very nervous to escape, how can they have extra time to take things outside?

Jiang Ming lives in a small courtyard with seven bedrooms, under his suggestion, Shen Yiwei's residence was also moved to the side early, this time to clean up, the Chen brothers and sisters occupy two, Mu Ya and his wife live in one, the small courtyard is not as cold as before.

Shen Yiwu took advantage of his free time and asked, "What do you think of Mu Ya?"

Jiang Ming pinched his chin and said, "He is a powerful character, although his strength is slightly inferior to that of Lin Han and them, but I always feel that he is ambitious, if he is given enough space to show, I think he can achieve far better than us." ”

"So sure, why didn't I see it?" Shen Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a pout, "You can be regarded as having made a close friend again, and you shouldn't be bored in this Wohua Mountain now." ”

Jiang Ming frowned slightly, and thought, "I have to help him find a place to use it, so that he can recognize me as a friend, and I have to put a lot of effort into this." Just now, the guards outside said that Lin Han had lost the battle in Jiaozhi City, saying that the Qin Dynasty had sent five or six generals with eight rank positions, and they were afraid that they would not be able to cope with it, so I planned to go to Jiaozhi City with Mu Ya to help Lin Han and them. ”

"Are you going to fight in the barracks?" Shen Yi was surprised, slightly stunned, his face turned into thin anger, and said, "If you don't go, can you do it?" There are people dying on the battlefield all the time, and the warriors of the eighth rank are not invincible, that is the matter of Wohua Mountain and the Qin Dynasty, why do you want to get involved in this and trap yourself, what should you do in the future? You are wanted by the Qin Dynasty all over the country, if the Wohua Mountain army is defeated, how can you escape the pursuit?"

Jiang Ming didn't know why Shen Yiwu was angry, but he thought that he was worried about his own safety, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing, just this time, it just so happens that the land of Zhaoyue is also on the Jiaozhi side, and when Lin Han gets through the difficulty, we will go to find the Nettlean, and then ......"

"Why don't you understand...... Shen Yi stomped his feet anxiously, his eyes were vaguely tearful, and he stared at Jiang Ming as if he wanted to defend something, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it raw, and then turned into the bedroom, and the door slammed.

"Yi worry!" Jiang Ming didn't know why, he wanted to chase over to comfort him, but when he saw that Mu Ya had already walked in, he forced a smile on his face and said, "Brother Mu, the room has been cleaned up, and I will ask those two little girls to help you bring the usual supplies over after a while, just when you came, I just happened to have something to tell you." ”

Mu Ya said, "Presumably you want to say that in a few days we will have to go to Jiaozhi City to participate in the war?"

Jiang Ming was stunned.

Mu Ya said again, "Those guards outside are all rumoring the news, several commanders lost a battle in Jiaozhi City, I have long heard that you have a great relationship with them, and I think I will not sit idly by and ignore this." ”

Jiang Ming slowed down, pointed to the stone bench and asked Mu Ya to sit down, and said, "I still have to help those who should be helped, it just so happened that I went to Jiaozhi City to have some things, but it was all over." is to consider the injuries of you and the son of the Chen family, I am afraid that it is not suitable for the journey, so I am a little embarrassed. ”

Mu Ya said, "The brothers and sisters of the Chen family have long had the ambition to join the army, and now they have this opportunity, I am afraid that they will not be happy, as for the injury, it is not a big problem, just go and recuperate." I probably know my strength, I can be worthy of the seventh-stage position, and after recovering from the injury, it will probably be of some use, and from here to Cochin City, it will only take half a night's horse, and there will be no bumps. ”

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "This is indeed excellent, with Brother Mu joining, Lin Han and them can reduce a lot of burden." ”

Mu Ya waved his hand and said, "It's not necessary, if you go to the battlefield over there, I and the Chen family brothers and sisters are your subordinates, in other words, you will be our commander." ”

Jiang Ming was shocked in his heart, frowned and said, "What do you mean......"

Mu Ya said, "What I fancy is your pair of eyes that guide the world, the opportunity to allow me to live in the world, and the opportunity to let me set foot in the real Sanyuan Jiuye, and only you can do it, which is why I trust you." Brother Jiang, Mu Ya, please follow!"

Mu Ya has a blind wife, and the two husbands and wives have five out of twenty, and they respect each other like guests.

Yin Wan poured tea for her husband, the tea was not hot, the water splashed and hurt the skin, Mu Ya hurriedly soaked it in cold water, and said softly, "If you can do these things, you won't do it, I will go to Jiaozhi City in a few days, you can call those two girls if you have anything, and if you hurt yourself again, I will be angry." ”

Yin Wan smiled and said, "It's okay, when I was just blind, but I overturned the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks together, and the broken porcelain cut my elbow, and the soup didn't know how much skin it burned, so I almost died directly." At that time, it was Brother Mu who helped me deal with the injury, and Brother Mu also took me to live in seclusion in the mountain village, refusing to step into the rivers and lakes for half a step. Fortunately, Brother Mu figured it out, and the guilt in Wan'er's heart could be let go of a little. ”

Mu Ya wrapped his hands around his wife's waist and didn't say anything. After the battle of Songtaoling, he realized that he could not live in peace for a long time, and if he wanted to make the people who guarded him stable, he could not achieve it without world-renowned achievements, so he was willing to use Jiang Ming's power to raise the clouds for him, so that he could protect this poor woman and spend a long life.

"Brother Mu" Yin Wan grabbed Mu Ya's arm and said, "I've worked hard for you all these years." ”

Mu Ya hugged her tightly into his arms, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, "I will always be there." ”
