8. A new chapter (1)
In the city of Xuanguo, Dugu Chengying fell directly at the door of the Hou Mansion because he could not bear the pain of the heart.
just caught up with Dongfang Boundless and came out of the Hou Mansion.
Dongfang Boundless learned the news of his return to his home during the day, and estimated that he would enter the palace in the afternoon to resume his life. But after waiting for him in the Golden Palace for eight hours, no one from the palace reported him, so he simply went directly to his mansion to ask what was going on.
Yan Shuang said that Dugu Chengying had been sick outside for a long time and had rested very early. Dongfang Wubian was very suspicious, pretending to drink tea in the hall, but he secretly sent a few masters to search the Dinghou Mansion, especially his bedroom.
Yan Shuang heard some subtle sounds, and Dongfang Wubian rushed to the door of the Hou Mansion almost at the same time.
saw Dugu Chengying lying on the ground and fainting.
Dongfang Wubian glared at Yan Shuang fiercely, the excuse you said just now is really too bad.
Yan Shuang knew that he was ashamed, and he made up so many high-sounding words, but he didn't expect to be demolished by his own family.
Shen Tai on the other side held back a smile and carried Dugu Chengying into the room.
Because he often travels around, Dugu Chengying has already hired a famous doctor to live in the mansion all the time. If the expedition is relatively long, the famous doctor must accompany the army, and ensure that his subordinates will not at least die of serious injuries. When there is no need for a long-term expedition, the famous doctor can go wherever he wants, and he will not ask too much.
"Mr. Qianmo, what's wrong with the general? He didn't look bad before he left the door. ”
This famous doctor invited to Dinghou Mansion is the god of Mantuo medicine.
Although Qian Mo is from the Mantuo Divine Domain, he can't get used to the self-respecting personality of the gods of the Mantuo Divine Domain, and he can't tolerate the Divine Domain's regulations on distributing medicines according to the level of the rank. He has mentioned to the Divine Venerable more than once that he wants to change such an unwritten and inhumane rule, and the Divine Venerable has also shirked again and again.
Finally, one day, he submitted a letter of resignation in the Mantuo Zichen Temple.
In his resignation, he claimed that he was nostalgic for the landscapes of other countries and had no idea of saving lives and helping the wounded. I came to ask for resignation from the position of the god of medicine in Mantuo, and I hope that the god will agree.
The Divine Venerable was still surprised, and Qianmo had already returned to his residence to pack his luggage.
Qianmo originally thought that he would go to Nirvana or Lion Camel, first, there were not too many subjects in these two countries, and second, there were relatively few immortals who were officials and in power. But since he came out of the Mantuo Divine Domain, he used a spell to damage his body by one point. As soon as he arrived near Xuanming Mountain, he only had forty percent of his mana left, which was completely insufficient to support him to live again in Nirvana.
With only forty percent of his mana, he was fortunate enough to know Dugu Chengying, and he also taught some healing methods. Externally, he is a guest of the Dinghou Mansion, and internally, he can also be the master of the war marquis.
Qianmo used the name of the warlord of the Xuan Kingdom, and for more than 100 years, it was mixed with wind and water.
Qianmo No. 1 pulse, found that he was just too painful and didn't recover, and his body was fine.
"No problem, no problem. ”
As soon as Qian Mo finished speaking, Dugu Chengying gently tugged the corner of his clothes with his hand.
In the past, he must have found an excuse to support others. And today, when King Xuan comes to the mansion late at night, he should have something important to discuss with him, and he will certainly not cause trouble for himself if he is not involved in political affairs.
"The king is relieved, he will wake up in a moment. Qian Mo stabbed his hole with a silver needle, and Dugu Chengying sat up with a swish.
He looked at the man sitting on the bed, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.
"Retire under the next. Qianmo took the first step, and Yan Shuang and Shen Tai also came out later.
There are only two people in the room: Dongfang Wubian and Dugu Chengying.
"The minister has seen the king. He was about to get up and salute the king, but Dongfang Wubian grabbed him.
"At this moment, there is no one else, and you and I are still called brothers. ”
Every time Dongfang Wubian said that it was okay to be called a brother in private, and there was no need to care about the relationship between monarchs and ministers. He has always remembered it in his heart, and has long adhered to this traditional etiquette, and he has never dared to forget it.
"I don't know that the king has come here, and the minister has lost his honor. ”
"It's okay, I waited for you in the palace all afternoon and didn't come, so I had to come to the door by myself. Where did you go late at night, Lone was quite shocked that you fell on the door of your own house. Do you think that no one in this country has this ability, is it an assassin from another country? Or did you make a new enemy from the previous war?"
Dongfang Wubian seemed to care about him in every way, but every word "lonely" reminded him that it was time to pay attention to his identity and class - just leave a handsome seal in Triumph and not see anyone, and he didn't go to the palace to see him when he returned to China.
"It's because the minister didn't think about it well and forgot to enter the palace to resume his life. Ask the king to chastise him. Dugu Chengying had been thinking about Yinsha, and almost forgot that he had just captured the lion camel a few days ago, and was not busy preparing to kneel on the ground and pretend to apologize and ask for grace.
"Forget it. Lone asks you, where did you go tonight?" Dongfang Wubian had long been accustomed to his move of apologetic sins.
"The minister went to find the snow to fly. Dugu Chengying told frankly.
Dongfang Wubian slapped the table angrily, pointed at him and scolded:
Dugu Chengying! You are becoming more and more presumptuous now, and there is no one in your eyes! I set up an enchantment back then, just because I didn't want people to know that she was still alive, and you actually went to see this demon girl without my permission! Do you know what kind of trouble it will cause! She is a demon girl who brings disaster to the country and the people!
When the East was over, he continued to confess: The queen has also gone.
This made Dongfang Wubian extremely stunned. He had never mentioned Snow Flying to the Queen, let alone where he was being held. In addition to himself and a personal Deadpool, Dugu Chengying knows the specific direction.
"The minister thought that the queen and Xue Feitian should be old acquaintances, and they may have known each other for a long time. ”
Dugu Chengying successfully used the queen to divert the boundless attention of the east, and the king now has no other mind to think about where he went and what happened. Just the meeting between the queen and Xue Feitian, Dongfang Wubian was already uneasy in his heart.
Dongfang Wubian remembered that when he was still in the waiting house, a bride maid said that the queen had a good sister when she was young, and she was also a national color and heavenly fragrance, and for some reason she forgot the happy years with the queen. The little maid disappeared the next day, and the queen said that she had returned to her hometown to visit relatives and deal with funerals or something, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Could it be that Xue Feitian really knows everything I do.
He suddenly felt a little relieved - she had already seen Snow Feitian anyway, and he could ask her another day.
He had always longed for the power of the Xuan Ice Sword. Although he is now the king of Xu, Cangming in the east has a vast sea area, and he wants to abuse it. Dugu Chengying fought for him, the lion camel has been taken, and the northern nirvana has also surrendered for many years, and it is only a matter of time before it is hidden. He didn't want to share Xuanming Mountain with Cangming at all, thinking that if he could win Cangming one day, then he would be able to compete with the Ghost Demon Venerable and the Mantuo Divine Venerable for the position of the Lord of Heaven and Earth. A demon venerable, a god venerable, his magic power is boundless, he is an ordinary person who can only rely on his generals to shed blood for him, and only rely on his vast land to prove that he can speak in this heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty?" Dugu Chengying watched Dongfang Wubian sit and think for a long time, but he had to interrupt his thoughts.
"It's already so late, why don't you grieve yourself in the minister's burrow tonight. Tomorrow morning, you can go back to the palace. Dugu Chengying planned to give him his couch and go to the side hall to make do for the night.
"Nope. You have a good rest and enter the palace tomorrow. ”
Dongfang Wubian took advantage of the dark night and left the Dinghou Mansion with a lot of concern.
"Respectfully send the king. Dugu Chengying watched his figure gradually disappear from sight.
When he went out on the second day, Qianmo pulled him aside.
"You've only been out for a few days, how did you get so badly injured?"
"It's all right, don't worry. ”
"What do you know...... I told you about this injury, you have to take it slowly, and you can't rush it for a while. ”
Dugu Chengying thought of the strange taste of warm wine, and after drinking it, he did feel unusual.
"I just drank a little bit and got better a little faster. ”
"Really, you didn't forcibly use the forbidden technique?" Qian Mo was skeptical, his apprentice's mouth was really tight. No matter how much he coerces and seduces, he doesn't tell the truth, and no one can help him.
"Hmm. Dugu Chengying said firmly, he just didn't mention the matter of extradite and backlash.
"Nothing else, I'm in the palace. Shen Tai had already prepared a horse and was waiting for him at the door
Qianmo, who stayed in place, was still pinching his hands, and he didn't notice that Dugu Chengying had been gone for a long time.
This backlash was unusual, and without the blessing of the elixir, he would not have been able to return to the kingdom alive. If it wasn't his original injury, then whose was it? But there is no spell in the world that can deflect this injury.
Qianmo had an intuition that Dugu Chengying was hiding something from him. Could it be a woman? That's kind of interesting. After all, he has been celibate for hundreds of years, and it is time to add a little joy to life.
The palace of the kingdom of Xuan.
A man in a poor mask stood outside the main hall and waited for three or four hours, but he was not summoned until he was summoned.
Sure enough, it is still the same as before, and it will never suffer in vain.
It was not until the time of the unit that a chamberlain came out of the temple and invited him into the temple.
"Tell me where you've been in the past few days. Dongfang Wubian sat on the dragon chair, still reading the recital from the lion camel in his hand. On the other side of the table, there is a small hill stacked with a Xuan Guo notebook.
"Because he lost an important object, he turned back to Yueming Valley, and unfortunately he was disturbed in the enchantment. So when I returned home, the road was a little slower. "Dugu Chengying's ability to lie is as superior to his swordsmanship.
Dongfang Wubian was surprised that a marquis made up such a fake remark that could no longer be faked to deceive him.
Even though he saw the same thing with his own eyes when he was a child, it is impossible for him not to change when he grows up.
"I remember that when you were young, you lost a handkerchief in the palace, and your mother didn't listen to what she said. I ran back to the palace without looking back for a day and a night, and I really found it for you. ”
"Hmm. The king remembered these old things. ”
"Of course I do. We're good brothers!"
Dugu Chengying stood below respectfully, like a good law-abiding courtier.
"The minister thought that last night maybe the minister was dazzled, and he couldn't see clearly in the dark light. He tried to get Dongfang Wubian to care about Xue Feitian's affairs, not his long-term absence.
"The matter is no longer discussed. You can see that the twists and turns on this are all yours!"
Dongfang Wubian pointed to the mountain of notebooks and shook his head helplessly.
He knew that his identity and abilities were too dazzling, but he had not done a single treacherous thing. He considered himself to be selfless and selfless for the kingdom of Xuan, and he would take revenge on the enemy country.
There were a lot of people who participated in him before, and Dongfang Wubian pressed it down. No matter how serious it was this time, he didn't dare to press down any further, and complained to him.
"I don't know, what did you offend these ministers?"
"Then Lone asks you, how did you win that day in the lion camel?"
"Kill one and you win. He said lightly.
"Kill one, what about your own soldiers?" Dongfang Boundless reminded him.
Nearly half of his soldiers died in the Valley of the Moon Ring, and nearly two-thirds of them were lost by the bumps on the road.
"That's what they're willing to sacrifice for the dynasty, and it's a glory that not everyone has. ”
Dugu Chengying has never liked others to interfere in his management of soldiers, but the favorite thing of these ministers in the court is all kinds of vices such as his lack of leadership and poor atmosphere in the team.
"You can say these things to Lonely. But in the court, in front of everyone, you have to draw up a better official statement. ”
"No. ”
Just half-sloppily mixed up, Dugu Chengying breathed a big sigh of relief in his heart.
Time is not long, and it is not short.
Dugu Chengying returned to Xuan Kingdom only three days ago, and all kinds of messy rumors spread.
I heard that a handsome young man was taken away from Qiuyu Tower by the palace master of the Snow Palace, and almost brought the disaster of destroying the country to Yindie.
He also said that the fiancée of this handsome young man broke into Qiuyulou and attempted to commit adultery.
also said that this fiancée is not young, and she also has a daisy hairpin on her head.
I'm afraid it's not the vicious senior sister I said. Dugu Chengying guessed that it was probably this "fiancée".
"This is all bullshit and rumors, I don't believe it. ”
Dozens of people up and down the house looked at the doctor carrying a few roast chickens and came in scolding.
"Doctor Qianmo, who is messing with you?" the old butler couldn't help but ask him.
"Chengying, you suppress this rumor for me. Whoever passes it on will tear their mouths, and don't let anyone go. ”
For the first time, Qianmo ordered Dugu Chengying to do this offending business with the attitude of a master.
"Oh, I can't do that. He smiled and went to the inner courtyard and glanced at Qianmo.
"Master, please drink tea. He handed a cup of freshly brewed Longjing after the rain to Qianmo.
"Take it away and don't drink it. Qian Mo pushed away the still steaming tea, and it was difficult to vent his anger.
"I'm not angry as a client, you outsiders can't think of it. ”
"Are you a party?" Qian Mo was taken aback, and sure enough, he was hiding a lot of things.
Dugu Chengying blurted out this sentence, revealing all his whereabouts outside.
He pretended to hide in the room, and was ruthlessly taken to another hut by Qianmo.
"Confess and be lenient. Qian Mo looked serious, he hadn't seen it for almost a hundred years.
"I went to Qiuyu Tower, and I also lived with the Palace Master of the Snow Palace for a few days. As for the fiancée or something, it's just nothing. You know, I'm notoriously unfeminine. Besides, the old woman they passed on by word of mouth, and the one who wore daisy hairpins, must be her senior sister. What is the name, I don't know. ”
Thinking of Qian Mo and him as a family after all, it doesn't matter if you tell the whole thing.
"Smack!" Dugu Chengying was slapped hard, and there was a crimson palm print on his face.
"Where is she old! You little rabbit cub! Lao Tzu has to pick your skin, strip your tendons, and break the bones of your whole body today!" Qianmo's fire was lit again, and it burned more and more.
"Wait!" Dugu Chengying stopped the palm he was hanging in the air, "Master, are you with that old ...... No, the young and beautiful daisy hairpin woman is old-looking?" After holding it for a long time, he decided to use the words of youth and beauty to escape the beating of Qian Mo.
"Ahem. Qian Mo cleared his throat.
"After all, she is your teacher. Whether other people's mouths can be blocked depends on whether you want to live or not. ”
This master, I have never seen him protect his apprentice like this. Dugu Chengying thought to himself, this bad old man is actually the son-in-law of the Snow Palace, and there will be more places to use him in the future. I'll sacrifice myself first.
"I obeyed. He immediately bowed to him.
"Wait a minute," Qianmo still didn't let him out, remembering another thing. "Is this backlash wound the Snow Palace Palace Master's?" After all, it was the first time he went to Qiuyulou, and he didn't know where to go out and when he could go out.
"Yes. ”
Qianmo was just a conjecture before, and there was no empirical evidence. But there was no spell to take the wound of this backlash, how did he do it. Unless, yes......
Qian Mo thought of what happened 10,000 years ago, and it shouldn't be. Dugu Chengying has only practiced for more than 100 years, and he has a good cultivation. Qian Mo has also counted Dugu Chengying's fate, he should be able to meet someone destined this year, and in a few years, he will have his own children. The immortals of the Mantuo Divine Domain are still reliable for calculating fate.
"What's wrong?" Dugu Chengying saw that the master had not spoken for a long time, and his face was full of doubts.
"It's fine. Take good care of your injuries, and after a while, it will be the day of the competition with the son of Cangming. ”
Qianmo's kind reminder reminded Dugu Chengying of that appointment. He was going to go to Yindie to practice illusions, but he didn't expect that his plan was all disrupted by Yinsha. That's how it can be good. The last time he lost, he already knew that he couldn't win with swordsmanship alone; If you use a spell, it is not against the previous agreement.
"Master, can you teach the apprentice how to win the son of Cangming. ”
He turned around to ask for a question or two, but the door closed mercilessly.
What a weird old man!
Thousands of years ago, the Lord of the Netherworld was born in the Ghost Day and Night Corridor.
One hundred thousand years ago, the Lord of the Netherworld was sealed in the White Abyss by the gods.
Its soul was sealed in two ancient swords, one was the sword of the Yin, Chixiao, and the other was the sword of the Sun, Xuanbing. The Chixiao Sword Spirit and the Xuanbing Sword Spirit restrain each other, and when the two Sword Spirits merge into one, it is the day when the Lord of the Netherworld lifts the seal. The Snow Palace in the depths of Xuanming Mountain preserves the Xuanbing Sword in it. Before leaving, the palace masters of all dynasties used their own essence to purify the filth of this Xuanbing Sword Sword Spirit. The sword chooses the master, and the main sacrifice sword has become a tradition that has lasted for more than a thousand years in the Snow Palace. However, this Chixiao Sword was used by the gods to save a woman's life, and after the woman gave birth to a baby boy, the Chixiao Sword Spirit devoured her Yuan Shen. On the same night, the Chixiao Sword was nowhere to be found. The baby boy who croaked to the ground became the last person in the world to see the Chixiao Sword.
I hope that I think too much, and Qianmo keeps telling himself this.
Dugu Chengying is an excellent general and an upright marquis, he is dedicated to the country, he shouldn't be like this.
Later, in many nights and countless dreams, Qianmo saw a picture:
A silver-haired boy made a living by cultivating his whole body in a grand flower bush on the other side, sacrificing the Xuanbing Sword.
He couldn't see the silhouette of the boy clearly in his dreams, but he felt familiar.
