Chapter 14: Choosing the Lord

"The person I love has flown away, and the person who loves me hasn't come yet~"

In the gloomy black clouds, Dongya sang these two lyrics over and over again, lying on his back on the dead wood boredly.

She had previously spied on the Emissary's actions through the Eye of Insight, but was soon discovered by the Emissary and blocked her from the emissary's coordinates, so she had to find something else to do.

"Hey, your name is Luo Lu, right?" Dongya couldn't bear the loneliness, kicked the monster Eye of Annihilation under his feet, and said with great emotion, "I didn't expect you to become like this with the source gene, but I don't care, since we have the same goal, then you listen to me, don't be too anxious to fuse the memory, absorb it little by little, otherwise, you won't even be able to maintain your human form at that time, but you won't be able to see the person you have been waiting for for a thousand years." ”

The monster let out a mournful cry in response.

The Great Wall of Yumen Pass.

Li Bai's gaze crossed Shen Mengxi, who kept jumping in front of him, and looked at the young man standing behind him, as the general of the Great Wall, he came to see him so easily, without any entourage.

Either he is extremely confident in his skills, or he just wants to recruit himself.

"Li Xin?" Fang Sheng tried to scream.

Li Xin originally looked at Li Bai's eyes, but after this sound, he looked at him, a few strands of hair fluttered with the wind in front of the young man's young and handsome face, his pupils seemed to contain indescribable emotion and expectation, at a certain moment, Li Xin thought that he saw his father's eyes before the madness.

He frowned a little displeased, and his voice was extremely quiet, "Qinglian Sword Immortal Li Bai, why are you here?" ”

Li Bai narrowed his eyes, and his voice was beautiful, "I'm here for the safety of the Great Wall, won't you let me go in and talk?" ”

Under the leadership of Shen Mengxi, the four of them climbed a corner tower of the Great Wall, which was the place where Li Xin had looked at Chang'an countless times.

"What information?" Li Xin asked.

"The adventurer who traveled with me said that there is a demon god in the depths of the desert in the clouds who has broken through the seal, and the demon god will attack the Great Wall after overthrowing the four cities."

"Demon God? But is the news of the people who met in Pingshui really reliable? Li Xin asked in a skeptical tone.

Li Bai said, "There are mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, I still believe in her ability, so you have to do a good job in the defense of the Great Wall, don't miss the opportunity!" ”

"Heh, then, the Great Wall team led by Mulan didn't come back, did they go to deal with the Demon God?"

Li Xin thought, it's really beyond his strength.

"It's just a scout, and I'm expected to be back soon."

"Even so, I can't give such an order to mobilize the people, do you know what impact such irresponsible information will have on the Great Wall? You can walk away, but we can't. ”

Li Bai raised his eyebrows, "Then do you want to be defensive?" ”

Li Xin was silent for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "I will put them into a state of readiness in the name of drills, but what if your intelligence goes wrong?" ”

"I am willing to make a military order for Captain Hua, if the information is true, you will be a hero, if something goes wrong, you can expel them from the Great Wall."

Li Xin showed an incredulous expression and questioned him, "...... Did you make such an irresponsible promise with the consent of Captain Hua? ”

"Regardless of whether or not she consented, or the prophecy of my companions, just you and me."

"Oh?"

"General Li, you should see very clearly, there is something terrible condensing in the sky, and at this moment, Captain Hua and they are there."

"......" Li Xin stopped talking, he and Li Bai looked at the sky side by side at the top of the corner tower.

Two months ago, the scouts found that the number of attacks on the Great Wall by the demon seeds in the desert in the clouds had decreased a lot, and not long ago, all the demon seeds near Jinting City had disappeared, and from that place, the scope of the demon seed disappearance began to expand.

At the same time, he sent the Mulan team out to find the Key of Miracles, also to find out what was going on there.

Then, when the scope of the demon seed's disappearance expanded to the entire cloud desert, the mirage of Drift City appeared in the sky above the Duhu Mansion where Mulan and the others arrived.

The next day, when the Great Wall looked to the west, black clouds had already begun to condense in the sky, and there was a smell that he was very familiar with, just like his transformed self......

He couldn't help but think in his heart, is he also a demon god?

"If the Demon God attacks the city, will you participate?" Li Xin asked.

"Perhaps." Li Bai gave an ambiguous answer.

When Li Xin and Li Bai went to the top of the corner tower, Fang Sheng faced the blazing wind and contacted the messenger.

In Shen Mengxi's opinion, he was more like muttering in an incomprehensible language, "The monarch I chose is a king without territory, and I will conclude a contract with him at the right time." ”

"Met so soon?" The messenger was shocked.

"Well, you'll be surprised if you see him."

"Oh, we're on our way back to the Great Wall now, because there are still demon seeds and horse thieves to deal with, and it will take almost half a month to arrive."

"So long? Well, I'll try to make a pact with him during this time. ”

"Don't worry, you're still young, you can still make mistakes."

"Oh."

"What pact are you going to make to live and die together? Master-servant contract? ”

Fang Sheng didn't think about it at all, "...... I do not know. ”

The Messenger said, "It is better not to make a pact of life and death, for in a hundred years, when his important one dies of old age, you will be hated by him for eternity." ”

"I see, Emissary."

"That's good." The messenger said.

On the hillside with blooming petals, Mulan looked at the white-robed girl standing on the rock in the distance, feeling a little strange, and she asked Guiguzi, "Who is she talking to?" ”

Guiguzi coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, she's talking to herself." ”

"Oh~"

The attack on the Great Wall occurred completely under circumstances that Li Xin did not expect.

The horse thieves from the land of Beiyi took advantage of the time when the demon seed disappeared and attacked the Great Wall on the second night after Li Bai arrived at the Great Wall.

On the first day, Li Xin found that Fang Sheng would follow him wherever he went, and when Li Xin couldn't bear to warn him, he found that no one else could see him except himself.

"Why can we see you?" That night, Li Bai asked.

"I've opened cognitive impairment on other people, so don't make strange movements, just when I don't exist~"

Shen Mengxi, who was heading to the kitchen, paused and said, "Oh, then the dinner prepared for you is a meow!" ”

Fang Sheng was taken aback and compromised, "Wait, I'm ...... I'm going to turn off the cognitive impairment. ”

Fang Sheng's sudden appearance made all the demon seed descendants along the way can't help but pay attention to him, but not many people in the human race pay attention to him.

On the Great Wall, patrols are exchanging, and in the dawn, there are only two people left.

Li Xin raised the heavy sword in his hand and pointed at the smiling young man, "So, why are you following me?" ”

The young man knelt down directly and said respectfully, "My name is Zimang, and I am one of the Heluo Protector Divine Beasts and Phoenix Birds, and I have been waiting for you in the clouds for three thousand years, my king." ”

"You say...... What the? Li Xin had an incredulous expression on his face, as if he had heard some terrible joke.

"My king, if you do not believe, I can present to you the past as I see it." Zimang raised his face, his eyes full of anticipation.

Li Xin sneered, put down his heavy sword, and sat on the city wall with a golden sword, "Oh? Interesting, come, show me! ”

"Yes, my monarch."

Li Xin thought he was just a joke, but at the moment when he met his golden eyes, he saw his past, and behind the young man who called himself Zimang, the golden totem of the phoenix bird appeared.

That totem, he was very familiar with.

Li Xin clenched the heavy sword in his hand and asked seriously, "...... you Is it really a phoenix? ”

"It's like a fake."

"Do you know what it means when my past identity is revealed?"

"It's going to lead to endless hunting."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Obey the sovereign's orders."

"I won't trust you by taking an oath alone, and if you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll kill you."

Li Xin clenched the heavy sword in his hand, he must not let any enemy leave his sight alive after knowing his secret.

"I will use my actions to prove that I have no second heart for you, and our relationship is arranged by fate."

"Fate? Ridiculous, I don't believe in fate. However, you can tell me where you came from. ”

"Yes, Sovereign." Zimang quickly organized the language and said, "Since ancient times, the phoenix has followed the emperors of the world, either as generals or as ministers. ”

"I was born in the Land of Origin three thousand years ago, and after the War of the Gods, I left the Great Wall in the footsteps of the gods and hibernate in the desert of the clouds."

"Some time ago, my kind woke me up and asked me to go to Chang'an to find my monarch, and I originally planned to go to Chang'an with Li Bai, but I didn't expect that my fate was here."

"......" Li Xin looked at the young man in front of him, he didn't want to believe what he said, but the voice in his heart told him that it was true.

"Then I only have one question, Zimang." Li Xin raised his heavy sword and put it on his neck, his tone was cold and serious, "You, will you betray me?" ”

"I swear."

"I am willing to choose Li Xin as my monarch, no matter what desperate situation I am in, or what God ignores, I am willing to follow him, become his invincible blade, and fight for him until a hundred years."

A beam of golden light descended from the sky, and a golden circle appeared between them, and an ethereal voice sounded:

- The contract is concluded, the phoenix bird Zimang, the god son Li Xin.

Li Xin clenched his fists and lowered his head to face Zimang's raised face, the bright and sincere eyes, "You...... Why? We've only met once! ”

Zimang smiled heartily, he stood up, looked at the glow in the distance, and said, "Because this is the best arrangement of fate." ”

Years later, Li Xin can still recall the day when the sun rose, and the petal scale flowers on the hillside seemed to play a song of vows in the wind.

The scenery that he saw on the Great Wall, which often moved him, was finally listened to.

"Then you, never betray me!"

"Yes, my monarch!"
