Although I can't let go of my heart at all, at this time, worrying is obviously not much use. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The young man took Baotong into his arms, touched it for a while, then stood up, held the red butterfly in one hand and the little heron in the other, and said, "It's late at night, let's go to sleep." ”

Huangfu Lu curled his mouth slightly, and said with a grin: "We don't sleep with you, and we bully the three of us every time." ”

The young man smiled: "Ha, be reasonable, who bullied whom these times?" I thought you were all good girls. ”

Baotong and Huangfu Lu couldn't help but blush, but Red Butterfly twisted his waist with his hand, as if he was happy and angry: "Who is not well-behaved?" It's clear that you're bad. ”

The young man smiled and rubbed her head, he didn't want them to worry about him, so he pressed his mind and took them to sleep. At this time, Sun Ziluo floated in: "Childe ......"

The night was getting darker and darker, and the three girls watched the back of the young man stepping out of the courtyard door together, waiting for him. Outside, the young man met a messenger from the north, and it was not long before he hurried out of the house. Sun Ziluo came to the backyard and asked the three girls not to wait for him tonight. Although they didn't know what was going on, the three girls looked at each other, but they were all a little worried.

That night, a ship left Lin'an overnight......

***

On the morning of the next day, the court was in chaos, and Ning Jiang's sudden disappearance left many people scratching their heads and not knowing what was going on. Although at this time, under Ningjiang's continuously improving system, even without him, it can be operated by relying on collective decision-making, but without him, everyone feels that they are missing the backbone, and for a while, they don't know what to do.

Gan Yushu, who was transporting grain and grass outside the city, rushed back to Lin'an, except for Sun Ziluo, who was originally by Ning Jiang's side, who came to tell him that Ning Jiang sometimes left temporarily and asked him to help watch first, he didn't know what was going on. Fortunately, at this time, everything in the court was in order, and although he was forced to take on the affairs that he should have undertaken for Ning Jiang, there were no accidents.

"That guy is not wrong, the 'system' is more important than talents, everyone can play a role, but it is not a system that cannot be achieved without anyone, it is the key to healthy development." Gan Yushu sighed, "It's just that if it goes on like this, don't say that the prime minister is dispensable, even the emperor...... It doesn't matter if there is one. ”

At this time, someone had already changed boats along the tributaries and entered the Long River, and went down the river, and a day later, came to the mouth of the Long River and boarded a building boat that went south from the northern coast.

On the blue sea, the golden crow, which had begun to set to the northwest, pulled out a long ray of light on the surface of the sea. The light swayed rhythmically with the undulations of the waves, steady and slow, and under the tranquil sea, there was a turbulent and powerful force hidden.

The young man who stepped on the deck, the first thing he saw was Wu Chong, the sect master of the Daomen Wuliu Immortal Sect, Wu Chong led him to the cabin, where a young woman turned around, but it was Zhao Tingzhen, who had left Jiangnan a few days ago.

"Ning Gongzi ......"

Seeing the arrival of the young man, Zhao Tingzhen said in a low voice.

The young man nodded, walked through the long corridor, and another woman walked out of the house, but it was the famous "empty mourning" Qiushui recommendation.

At this moment, Qiu Shui Jian already knew that the "Little White Dao Chief" who broke into the battlefield between them and the Hades King and Meng Shenjun at that time was the same person as Ning Hanlin in the past and Ning Cheng in the present, although it was the first time to see his true face at this moment, but under Wu Chong's introduction, he didn't say much, but just pointed inside: "She's inside...... Waiting for you. ”

The young man asked, "What happened?" ”

Qiu Shuijian said in a low voice: "When I arrived, everyone else had already been killed, and she was the only one who escaped, what the specific situation was, in fact, the concubine's body was not very clear, although the body was seriously injured, but more importantly, ...... The spirit is torn! ”

"Spirit-torn?"

"I can perceive that there are two spirits in her body, one of which is no longer able to hold on and is about to fly away......"

The young man entered the room and looked at the girl lying on the bed with a golden face.

Delicate skin, beautiful face, the window is inlaid with translucent square glass, and the patterns on the glass are reflected on her thin quilt in the light of the setting sun.

Everyone else withdrew, and the young man, alone, came to the bedside and sat down sideways. As if sensing his arrival, the girl on the bed slowly opened her eyes, her eyes without light, and the breath was so weak that it seemed to no longer exist.

"Y-You're here?" The girl's lips quivered slightly.

The young man took her into his arms: "What happened? ”

"You...... Rest assured, your she...... It's okay, I didn't let her have an accident! The girl opened her eyes with difficulty, trying to see him clearly, but there was nothing she could do. Her spirit at the moment was no longer enough to support her seriously injured body.

The man's breath hugged her tightly and gave her some warmth, and her hand was gently held.

"Who did it?" The man next to him asked softly.

“…… Evil goddess! The girl's strength was the last will, full of helplessness and sighs, "the sword she carried...... The golden sword...... It carries the power of the Holy Phoenix...... I can't stop it. I, I said before, I'm going to take you to her...... I'll give it back to you, I'...... I did it......"

The golden sword of unknown origin absorbed the power of the holy phoenix outside the sky, and found that the goddess of goodness, who was no longer able to block the sword, forcibly tore apart the spirit that she and the eldest princess of Luanmei gradually fused, and used her own spirit to condense the spirit and fly out of the body, forcibly blocking the killing move. That sword pierced her spirit, and also hit the body she and Luan Mei shared, but because she was desperate to forcibly intercept it, her body was only severely damaged, and after escaping from the mountains and forests, she was rescued by Qiu Shuijian, who rushed over.

The body and Luanmei's own soul have been preserved, but the spirit of the goddess of goodness herself is on the verge of collapse, relying on the last wisp of fragrant soul, which has been supported until now, just wanting, holding on until she can see him for the last time, telling him that she gave him back the person he really loved, and she let the "she" who belonged to him return to him safely and soundly.

"These days, I'm reminded of a few things, a lot...... Before," the girl burst into tears, "we ...... Me and the real evil goddess were actually just two little birds in the Kunlun Mountain Beast Park before, and after the collapse of the Heavenly Realm, it ...... Suzaku ...... It imprisons our bodies, drives our souls, forces us to do things for her, this unsuccessful incarnation, makes me forget about it, I believe what you say, I believe in the communist brilliance, I think I can really get rid of it, I can really rebel against it...... I forgot, the real ...... My body is still in Kunlun Mountain, and it is still in its hands, no matter what I do here, how long I stay here...... Eventually...... After all, I still can't escape its grasp......"

Ning Jiang hugged her tightly in his arms.

"I don't want to go back...... I really don't want to go back......" The girl's body trembled in his arms, and the choked words were full of despair.

The remnant sun sank to the end of the line of water and sky on the sea outside the window, and the shadows seeped in little by little, gray and cold, but it could not be stopped. The young man hugged her tightly, and at this moment, there was more of a sense of powerlessness that could not be helped.

"She gave me the name 'Qimeng', she said, her name is Luanmei, my name is Qimeng, and the two of us ...... It's the best friend," the girl choked, "and I think of many, many days after the injury, and the sword of the evil goddess, with its power, forces me to remember many, many things, and force me to remember what I really are. The spirit was reincarnated again and again, under its compulsion, and every time I went to be a good goddess, the name was different, but I finally felt that after all, only the name Qimeng was what I wanted, probably because, only this time, only this time I got rid of it temporarily, only this time I was not afraid of it, although ...... Although it is only an illusion, although it is only a dream...... Really, really want to have a world like that, where no one is tortured, no one is oppressed...... It's true...... I want to live in that world. ”

Holding her petite and weak body strongly, Ning Jiang said in a deep voice: "Tell me, how can I find you?" What will it take to really rescue you from its hands? ”

The girl burst into tears in his arms: "It's useless, you can't fight it, don't let it come down, don't let it appear in this world...... You can't deal with it. ”

The young man was expressionless and said coldly: "Tell me, how can I find you?" Then, wait for me there, and one day, I will appear in front of you and take you away! ”

The firm but unquestionable words made Qimeng's gray eyes shine a little more, and then shook his head in tears. It was impossible after all, and she couldn't do it...... Nor did they have the guts to bear such hopes.

The young man continued, slowly, "Tell me...... How can I find you? ”

The darkness kept coming, and the girl's voice, weakened in the infinite darkness, seemed to sink into an abyss where she could no longer see the light.

did not answer his question, and at the last moment when the spirit flew away, the girl's face bloomed with a poignant smile in tears of despair: "Qimeng...... It's really a beautiful dream, I can really ...... Is that the name...... It's cold...... It's really cold......"

The girl in her arms fell asleep in a feeble whisper, and the ethereal voice, scattered at the end of the darkness, dissipated like this.

The young man who hugged the girl tightly remained motionless until the infinite darkness, devouring all the light around him little by little, and even carrying him before, lost in the bottomless abyss.

His gaze, however, was still clear and firm in the deep night, silently staring at the window...... Didn't say anything!

***

The sea breeze became colder and colder at night, blowing on his face like wind and frost, and on the deck, Zhao Tingzhen looked up at the stars in the sky, and then, from time to time, he turned his head and looked at the cabin behind him.

The moonlight rising in the distance is lonely on the sea, and the sunset has not been set for a long time, but the temperature has dropped extremely quickly. Dead wind lamps hung on masts, swaying in the wind. The stars were scattered in the night sky, and the faint light and shadow of the cold moon were reflected on the surface of the sea.

On the other side of the deck, Qiu Shuijian was alone, sitting behind the desk, plucking the strings, the sound of the piano rose and fell, ethereal like a heavenly maiden flying away, there was not much grievance, there was no autumn hatred and spring love, there was just the ethereal spirit of the empty mountain and the rain, and those little loneliness.

The sound of the piano blew into the distant sea with the increasingly cold sea breeze. The sea is undulating, and the waves are rolling.

The warship in the sound of the piano and the waves seems more tranquil, as if it has been far away from the world, outside the heaven and earth, enjoying the quiet of not being disturbed.

The young man in the cabin didn't do anything, just like this, he kept hugging the girl in his arms until the night outside the glass window was deeper, and the weak girl slowly woke up......

Immediately afterwards, he grabbed his shirt and cried bitterly: "She's gone...... She's gone. ”

"I know!" The young man continued to put his arms around her and said slowly, "But, don't cry, one day, we will be able to find her and rescue her...... Let her come back to us. ”

In his arms, Luan Mei couldn't stop her sadness......

From the mouth of the sea, the warships went up the long river.

That night, Luan Mei, who had been seriously injured and had not recovered, fell asleep in pain not long after.

Ning Jiang stayed with her like this until dawn.

On the second day, Luanmei, who woke up again, told her about getting along with Qimeng...... Yes, Qimeng...... She gave her the name.

I was working hard for a common ideal, but it turned out that everything was just a beautiful bubble.

Ning Jiang further healed her, but what was really difficult to cure was the emaciation of her soul.

In the process, Luan Mei told him something that surprised him.

"Zoroastrianism," Luan Mei whispered beside him, "Qimeng told me that Zoroastrianism has something to do with the three thousand boys and girls that Xu Fu took away back then. ”

Zoroastrian ...... Xu Fu...... Boys and girls?

Such a connection is surprising to young people. Before that, it was really difficult for him to associate Zoroastrianism with the thousands of boys and girls who were taken away by Xu Fu.

It's just that there are many unsolved mysteries about what Mao Sui and Xu Fu did back then. After planning to kill Zhang Yi and forcing Su Qin to escape, Mao Sui assumed the alias Lü Buwei and Li Si, and together with Xu Fu, he controlled the government of Daqin, and even Yingzheng was actually the son of Mao Sui.

Later, Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls to the sea to "seek immortals", and never returned, and Mao Sui, who was alias Li Si, disappeared without a trace not long after Yingzheng's death, although according to the history books, "Li Si" was killed by Zhao Gao, but yes or no, in fact, it is impossible to know, but, even if he was not killed, according to his age, he was probably old at that time, otherwise he would not have watched Daqin disappear like that.

Of course, it is more likely that Mao Sui was finally killed by the vengeful Su Qin, as the old man guessed that if it wasn't for the belief that Mao Sui was dead, Xu Fu would not be able to come back, and Su Qin would not dare to appear so blatantly as an "unknown old man" and "Dong Tianshu".

But no matter what, Qimeng's account, he has to count it after all.

Zoroastrian ...... Evil Goddess ...... Female ...... and even the so-called Holy Phoenix.

At all costs...... He won't let them go!
