Chapter 31: Why Persist
After Duan Chenjing sent Wang Mengning home, he set up a car and returned to Jianshuixuan, and saw a person standing on the small bridge with his back to him, looking like he was waiting for him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He jumped out of the carriage and walked over and called, "Leng Chen." ”
The latter then turned around, and his face was as bright as a star in the sky.
"Chenjing, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed."
Duan Chenjing walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "How's things going?" ”
Leng Chen raised his eyebrows, patted his chest and said, "With me here, will there be any accidents?" We have already agreed with Lan Zhao's Xiangling Prince, let him take the scholar's broken intestines, and let Lan Zhao King go and ask the divine doctor to save his life. When the time comes, let him find him and ask for "Empty Yin Fu". ”
Duan Chenjing nodded with satisfaction, "That Xiangling prince is the brother of King Lanzhao Tongfu and the same mother, and he will definitely not die when the time comes." So, did the Chiyan Bead and the Chiyan Needle be handed over to him? ”
"Don't worry, this is a rare Gu refining treasure, can the divine doctor not be moved? Chi Yan Zhu and Chi Yan Needle both gave him as exchange chips, and he didn't find a corner to hide and laugh. ”
That's right, this time, Leng Chen took the Chiyan Zhu and Chiyan Needle given to him by Duan Chenjing to Lan Zhaoguo, and asked Lan Zhaowang's younger brother to help them exchange for "Empty Yin Fu".
The Red Flame Bead and the Red Flame Needle are the divine weapons cultivated by the pharaohs of the ancient kingdom of Luoyang with blood. Legend has it that tens of millions of years ago, when the heavens and the earth first opened, the world was still chaotic, and everything in the world was the source of chaos, bleak. Suddenly, in the vast sea, a fire was gasped. And the fire drifted on the sea, sinking and rising with the tides.
The fiery wave was scorching, and the fire was scorching, rendering everything dark into a scorching red.
Gradually, as the waves pushed, the fire gradually approached the shore. When he was about to land, he turned into an old man who was as red and burning as fire.
He is the first king of the ancient kingdom of Luoyang, Pharaoh Yanmay.
He decomposed many different sizes of fires from his body, threw them into the sea, and these fires began a long drift.
When they were about to land, they all took on human form like mayflies and began to live as a founding state.
However, they thought they owned the whole world, but in fact they were all living around a place that was about to become the Dead Sea.
To put it simply, they just live around the Dead Sea, and if anyone is willing to make a big boat and row to the opposite or adjacent shore, they will find that they are actually all created by the mayflies, from the same mother.
Some descendants say that it was their fate. After all, they couldn't get out of that sea area, and the sea that gradually dried up to no life encircled all their beautiful yearning and longing for the outside world.
And those so-called churning waves are actually just imaginary scenes for them. After all, they can't escape the curse of this sea, or rather, the will of Destiny.
In the end, none of them were able to complete the great task of dominating the world, and they died one after another.
Yan Xian couldn't bear to see the world he had worked so hard to create ruined, so he prayed to the heavens, willing to exchange his life for a place in the world for their people.
Perhaps it was his piety that touched the heavens, or perhaps it was because of the heavens' virtue of life that they were able to survive in the end.
Yan Mayfly also kept his promise at that time, using the sinkhole as a sacrifice platform, and burned himself with fire.
His eyes turned into beads, and the bones on his body were refined into needles, guarding the peace.
Because they themselves are a flame, the fire in the sinkhole is always burning and will not be extinguished.
His descendants also followed this promise, and the pharaohs of the ancient kingdom of Luoyang, when the fire in the sinkhole was about to be extinguished, would jump into the sinkhole, so that the fire would continue to maintain its vigorous vitality.
In this way, generation after generation of pharaohs went forward and succeeded, and the beads and needles in the heavenly pit were extremely powerful.
What's more, it only takes one red flame needle to turn a great country into ashes day and night.
Because of this rumor, some people have the heart of a villain and evil thoughts.
They risked their lives to take out all the Red Flame Beads and Red Flame Needles from the sinkhole, escaped from the ancient country of Luoyang, ran between the black markets of various countries, and sold these two treasures to a sky-high price.
Since then, this Red Flame Bead and Red Flame Needle have been scattered in the world separately, and their whereabouts are unknown.
As for what happened to Luoyang Kingdom, some people say that because these two things were gone, the fire in the sinkhole was extinguished, and the Luoyang Ancient Kingdom was swallowed up by the world that turned back into chaos.
It is also said that because of the anger of the heavens, the Dead Sea suddenly became turbulent and finally drowned the ancient kingdom of Naluoyang.
There are different opinions, and it is difficult to verify the truth and falsehood. However, the Red Flame Bead and the Red Flame Needle remained.
There is only one Red Flame Bead, and because of the many years of circulation in different places, after passing through the hands of countless people, there is not much left.
Although their power is not as miraculous as the legend suggests, they are still not to be underestimated. Whether it is a red flame bead or a red flame needle, as long as it is put into the goods, it can keep the fire in the furnace warm forever.
It is precisely for this reason that alchemists, wizards, and even blacksmiths from all over the world have a warm pursuit of it. They admit that as long as they have them, they can refine the best medicine in the world, raise the best Gu poison, and create the best iron.
However, no one knows their whereabouts.
It wasn't until three years ago that they heard that someone had collected these two treasures and took them to the ancient country of Xiliang, hoping to exchange them for his place in Xiliang and a long life. After they got the news, they rushed to Xiliang overnight with many rare treasures in the world, hoping that the king of Xiliang could endure the pain and cut his love and exchange the Chiyan Bead or Chiyan Needle for them.
And Leng Chen, it was at that time that he met Red Sleeves.
At that time, Red Sleeves was the envoy sent by the King of Xiliang to guard the Red Flame Bead and the Red Flame Needle, and Duan Chenjing and the others saw that the King of Xiliang refused to exchange with them, so they planned to start with the guardian messenger Red Sleeves.
Who knew that Leng Chen and Red Sleeves were going back and forth, and you and I actually had feelings for each other.
In the end, Red Sleeves secretly handed over these two treasures to them and let them go out of Xiliang overnight.
The king of Naxi Liang is not a lord to be messed with, and the red sleeves attempted to escape, and was captured and imprisoned, saying that he wanted to sacrifice her to the sky.
Their sacrifice to the heavens is not like the outside world, killing her can be a hundred.
The ancient kingdom of Xiliang is the closest place to the heavenly realm according to rumors, and every person there is qualified to become a celestial god, and they not only need to have a holy body, but also need to have a holy soul.
If a person does something wrong, then she is not only sorry for others, but also sorry for God!
That means he doesn't deserve all that holiness.
They would strip sinners, male and female, naked and tie them to a huge ice stone, called the Ring Spirit Stone. Lay them naked before the eyes of the people, and accept the judgment of the people. In this way, they can regain their shame and reflect on their sins.
It is also their highest punishment for the offender!
I heard that many people are thanking God for committing suicide on the spirit stone. This is a sign of repentance and loyalty to the Divine.
In fact, it was because he couldn't stand the vicious, obscene, or calculating eyes of the people, and he committed suicide.
And Red Sleeves has also suffered such a great humiliation, when Leng Chen turned back to save her, she had been lying on the Ring Spirit Stone for three days and three nights, although there were no scars on the surface of her body, but her heart was already full of holes.
No matter how you say it, she is just an ordinary person, and she is still a girl's family, but she has an extra veil of mystery than ordinary people.
In fact, when Duan Chenjing handed over this task to Leng Chen, he just wanted Leng Chen to stay away from the place with red sleeves and let him be quiet.
But after Leng Chen explained the task, the first thing he asked was: "Chenjing, how is she doing for so many days?" ”
It is not so much that Leng Chen is Duan Chenjing's subordinate, but that he is his confidant and his brother.
He was well aware of every hardship he had suffered, and he was also well aware of every bond in his heart.
Before he left, he said to him, "Chenjing, go see her every day for me." ”
He really thinks about her all the time, but he doesn't dare to see her in the open.
Duan Chenjing could only sigh, feelings are often the authorities' obsession with bystanders. Leng Chen and Red Sleeves obviously love each other to death, but neither party is willing to disarm and surrender first.
"Being so persistent will only hurt each other more and more, so why bother......"
