Chapter Twenty-Three: Counting the Heavens and Covering the Sea

Shudi, Yicheng, thatched cottage.

A black-clad sting stood in the treetops, and behind him was a spear, the weapon left behind by his best friend.

And his best friend, three thousand years ago, was killed by the messenger G because he was infected with a nanovirus, leaving only this spear.

He will not use it, only as a memento, to remind him at any time that Messenger G is still alive.

Now, Emissary G has come three points away, but he woke up too late to find her in the first place.

If you snipe her while she was in the middle of the clouds, she would no longer exist by now!

As for the Ark's orders, he didn't care.

All he cared about was his best friend.

In the thatched hall, Zhuge Liang was reading at night.

Zhao Yun's figure couldn't really be seen in the shadows, and after putting on a robe for the military advisor, he said, "Someone outside has been staring, will you meet him if you need subordinates?" ”

"No, it's too early to tell if the visitor is a guest or an enemy."

"Yes."

In the middle of the night, the sting moved.

He didn't choose to jump over with light skills, but walked through the main door and raised his voice to the candle-lit room, "The swordsman is stunned, ask to see Mr. Kong Ming." ”

At the first sound, the door of the cottage did not open.

"The swordsman was stunned and asked to see Mr. Kong Ming."

The second sound, the cold wind blew the door of the grass hall open, stunned, looked back, and the man in Tsing Yi holding a flute retracted the metal lotus flower under the hem of his clothes.

He walked over to the stunned side, nodded, and raised his voice together:

"The swordsman was stunned and asked to see Mr. Kong Ming."

"The singer is Qingming, I ask to see Mr. Kong Ming."

The lights of the cottage appeared in front of them, and the warrior in military uniform said lightly, "Sir, let you in." ”

"Thank you." Qingming thanked.

Zhuge Liang sat on the Yin seat, looking at the two uninvited guests opposite, and there was a faint indifference between his words, "Where did the two come from?" ”

The tone was not good, and he was about to speak, but he was poked by the flute, and Qingming did not hide it, and said directly, "We are from the place of origin." ”

Zhuge Liang asked with interest, "Oh, then, who are the two?" ”

"Clergy."

"The two of you don't seem to have much experience, so you don't know why you call yourself a clergyman?"

"We were born clergy."

"Really?" Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, as if mocking, "That's really enviable!" ”

Qingming bowed his head and arched his hand, "I'm really bothering Mr., and I ask Mr. to help us." ”

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, and said indifferently, "Since the two of you are clergy, why do you need my help?" ”

"Our clan stipulates that the same blood cannot kill each other."

"Oh, the person you're dealing with is also a clergyman? Isn't your goal to be at the Academy? Zhuge Liang's eyes were cold, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

Qingming hurriedly said, "No, we don't dare, the three sages under the Jixia are the existence that we admire, and I don't dare to disrespect them." ”

Zhuge Liang snorted coldly, "Then who are you going to deal with?" Why should I help you deal with him? And, why me? ”

"Because you hold the Book of Heaven, you have the ability to read her. The clergyman we are dealing with has two companions, and both of her companions have a fragment of the Book of Heaven, and she herself can read the information of the Book of Heaven. ”

"So powerful?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, "Since I haven't heard of it, I don't believe it." ”

According to his own research, what is recorded in the Book of Heaven is a part of the observable future.

Since his existence was not predicted from the Book of Heaven, then he does not belong to the observable future, and is a variable.

You are also a variable, and if two variables meet, it will affect the future......

However, the other party also holds the fragment of the Book of Heaven, maybe it's an opportunity?

Qingming said, "I know you don't believe us, and we're just telling you the news." ”

"Her goal is the East Wind Altar, and although you now control the East Wind Altar, if you let her control the East Wind Altar, then the entire continent will be plunged into war." ”

Zhuge Liang frowned, shook his fan and called, "Zilong." ”

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, "Strategist? ”

Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows, "Do you think they can be trusted?" ”

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Dan is on the orders of the lord." ”

"Then......" Zhuge Liang pointed to the fan, "Grab it." ”

"Yes."

"Tsk, do you want to do it?" Seeing Zhao Yun coming over with a gun, Qingming asked.

Shocked and about to speak, he heard Zhuge Liang threaten, "Since the two of you are so sure that he will definitely control the Dongfeng Altar, then you have to wait until the Dongfeng Altar loses control, and then let's talk about it!" ”

In other words, he didn't believe it.

Qingming and Stunned glanced at each other and nodded.

The sting disappeared first, and Zhao Yun only stabbed an afterimage.

Then there was Qingming with a weird smile.

But before the afterimage disappeared, Qingming dropped a sentence, "In a few days, the Dongfeng Altar will definitely be controlled by her, and when the time comes, please ask Mr. Kong Ming to stop her." ”

Zhao Yun turned around and knelt down, "Strategist, Zilong is incompetent......"

"It's none of your business, the other party, there are also mages who can teleport short distances."

Zhao Yun stood up, "Strategist, is this information credible?" ”

"Don't worry, how can the Dongfeng Altar be so easy to control, it took us a long time to start it once." Zhuge Liang thought for a moment, and then said, "However, for the sake of safety, Zilong, you go to Jiangjun to escort Miss Sun back to China." ”

"What about you?" Zhao Yun hesitated.

Zhuge Liang knocked his head with a feather fan and smiled helplessly, "As a subordinate, you can't trust the military advisor so much?" ”

"Yes, Zilong will go."

Zhao Yun's figure disappeared into the night, Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief, he sat on the snow-covered steps, activated the feather fan in his hand, and opened the interface of the virtual screen.

Although most of the Heavenly Books are no longer in his hands now, this remaining part is still enough for him to calculate the information he wants.

- Instructions on the operation procedures of the defensive wall of the Dongfeng Altar

- Current Authorization Level 1

The following line of text caught his attention: ...... If there is a skipping authorization order, all previous changes will be invalidated, and the Dongfeng Altar will be renewed......

"Higher authority...... Who could it be? Zhuge Liang frowned, he thought of the prophetic girl that Sun Shangxiang had said.

In this way, they are all reckoned with the heavens, but why don't they meet?

"Mr. Kong Ming, you're still worried."

Stunned and Qingming reappeared, they stood under the eaves, on either side of Zhuge Liang.

"It's not the right time for you to show up." Zhuge Liang sighed faintly.

"Why did Mr. Kong Ming say this?" The one who spoke was still clear.

Zhuge Liang looked at the stars in the night sky, as if he could reach out and pick them, he said, "In the past, war only happened between people and people, between people and demons, but now, the war has escalated unconsciously. ”

"......" and Qingming glanced at each other and shook their heads at each other.

"Tell me, why did God appear again?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to just control us behind the scenes, why should you show up?"

"We have to tell us plainly that you are in control of our destiny, do you?"

After a long silence, Qingming said, "We don't know what you asked...... Because our fate is also controlled......"

"Like a friend who stung, like a messenger who executed what a man, like now we are here to find you......"

"We are all puppets of fate." Zhuge Liang said, "The so-called calculation of the sky, the calculation can only be the human heart." ”

Wu Di, Jiang County, Hai Yuntian.

When he was young, Big Joe developed a grudge against his sister Little Joe.

At the beginning, I didn't hate it, and I was even looking forward to seeing her again.

Somewhere in this world, there is a twin sister who is connected to his blood.

One is dignified and beautiful, the other is playful and cute, and they are really a pair of sisters.

When did resentment begin?

Was it as a useless but beautiful tribute to the Shiwei family, forced to sacrifice to the brutal ruler of Ganggun? Or is it the hope that has been finally gained and lost? Or, is it the sister of the Demon Dao who is not pure, but has the happiness that she will never be able to get?

Da Qiao felt at first that this jealousy would slowly dissipate with the passage of time, but she misestimated her heart, and under the bewitchment of the spirit of the sea, in order to have happiness again, she decided to launch the pearl of the sea and sacrifice Jiang Jun.

Just like the former family, who dedicated her to the ruler of Jiangjun.

The night is low, the sea is turbulent, the lightning and thunder are thundering where it meets the sky, and the spirit of the sea is resentful.

Big Joe carried a lantern and stood on the reef.

Dream-like eyes stared at the sea spirits floating around her, and with a faint raise of her hand, she summoned a huge circle with her staff.

Suddenly, surging waters poured out of the circle and spread up the fishing village.

“…… Yes, that's it, make waves, sacrifice them, for your love......"

"If you are born in this world and can't even hold the happiness you want, then what is the meaning of life?"

Da Qiao learned from the Spirit of the Sea that under Jiang County, there has been a spirit gathering magic circle engraved since ancient times.

It was set up by the former ruler of Jiangjun, in order to prevent the coastal cities from being ravaged by demon seeds, and made a magic circle that ended up together.

The activation of the magic circle requires sufficient demonic power.

According to the Spirit of the Sea, the power of the Demon Dao is actually contained in the human body.

As long as the magic circle is activated, it can help her resurrect her lover, Sun Ce, the overlord of Jiangdong.

The girl muttered to herself, "He'll definitely come back, right?" ”

The spirit of the sea surrounded her and continued to bewitch, "That's right, as long as you sacrifice Jiang Jun, your lover will definitely be able to come back to life." ”

"If you need it, I can always be with you, forever."

"Hmm." Da Qiao hummed lightly, closed his eyes, and with a wave of his staff, countless waterspouts flew into the sky, but they quickly retreated, and they didn't last long.

The Sea Spirit conjured up an arm made of water and stroked her hair, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you to be ready before activating the circle." ”

"Okay." Da Qiao responded and slowly stepped into the shallow sea, leaving only the spirit of the sea on the reef, looking at Jiang Jun behind him.

It had been observing Big Joe for a long time.

It's so long that it can't remember how much time has passed, what its past name was, and why it's here?

But it remembered a long time ago, the pain of being pierced through the heart with one hand, the memories that were forcibly erased, the cold golden eyes......

At that time, the only thought was that it was going to overturn the sky and the sea.

When it came to consciousness again, it heard a girl's voice.

The blood flowing through the girl's body reminded it of the memories of its old slumber.

That's its descendant, and she's going to be its bride.

- The bride of the sea.

But it didn't expect that when the girl grew into a beautiful maiden and came to the beach to pray, he cursed her bloodline and gave her great power.

When her lover is killed, it vows to take her out of this world, no matter what the cost.

So, while promising to resurrect her lover, it prepared to inject the demonic power of the Spirit Gathering Circle into her body.

When she becomes a god, she won't wait any longer.

Her lover is just a human with a lifespan of no more than a hundred years, and even if he is resurrected, it will only be a short life...... She will eventually become the bride of the sea!

A fishing village outside of Wudi Gang-gun.

Guiguzi raised his hand to shade the shade, and then looked at the Kun under Zhuang Zhou's seat, "It seems to be a fishing village in front, Kun it...... You won't be afraid, will you? ”

In the curious eyes of the envoy and Mengqi, Zhuang Zhou nodded, stretched his waist, and actually walked on the ground.

Kun was shrunk and held in his arms.

"Let's go~" Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly, greeting the three people with surprised faces.

The envoy and Guiguzi glanced at each other, and the envoy said, "It turns out that you can walk?" I thought ......"

Zhuang Zhou raised his hand and knocked her on the head, and said dissatisfiedly, "Ah, you are such an impolite young man~ I'm just lazy." ”

The messenger touched the place where he had been struck and muttered, "Ah, how excessive! ”

"Okay, let's go to the front and spend the night~"

Zhuang Zhou relied on his face that was easy to make people feel good, and successfully stayed at the house of a certain fishing village girl.

The girl from the fishing village kindly boiled fish soup for them and served them hot tea, most of which was due to Mengqi's cuteness.

The messenger held the bowl, and the fragrant fish soup was very attractive, but her eyes were a little confused, and there were hidden tears flashing.

Zhuang Zhou, who was drinking tea, asked, "What's wrong?" If it's too hot, it'll be cold for a while. ”

"Hmm." The messenger nodded, placing the fish soup on the small coffee table in front of him.

Zhuang Zhou thought for a moment, "Do you want to ...... Haven't you ever tasted human food? ”

"Yes." The messenger lowered his head and covered his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

Although the prosthetic body can break down food, it needs to consume core energy, not to mention, there is no need for her to eat.

Moreover, now I don't have the power needed for large-scale teleportation, so I can only teleport over short distances.

"That's good, at least, you won't starve to death in times of war."

The ...... messenger was stunned and looked up at him.

Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly and didn't explain too much.

It was late at night, and the four of them were arranged in the same room.

However, the kun takes up more than half of the room.

"Can we sleep on the roof?" Guiguzi asked, and the messenger and Mengqi, who were standing at the door and refused to come in, also nodded.

"Why?" Zhuang Zhou, who was already lying next to Kun, was a little puzzled, "You've been sleeping in the open these days, haven't you had enough?" ”

Guiguzi sighed faintly, "We're not good at dealing with people...... And, on our travels, never slept in bed. ”

Zhuang Zhou opened his eyes slightly, "Huh? How do you usually rest? ”

The messenger rightly said, "Don't you see it these days? Sleeping on a tree. ”

"Well, it seems that you didn't live in the room we arranged before, and I thought you didn't like it."

Guiguzi hurriedly explained, "No, we like it very much, but we are used to the bumps and wandering......"

"How do you know if it's right if you don't try?" Zhuang Zhou said with a smile.

"Okay then." It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Guiguzi lay beside him, and then Mengqi.

"I'll forget it...... It's so embarrassing! The messenger closed the door and sat down directly on the ground.

Guiguzi smiled meaningfully, "You didn't care so much before...... Is it because of the sage? ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Zhou smiled slightly, making people unable to understand what he was thinking.

The messenger replied with a straight face, "Well, the closer you get to him, the easier it will be for him to snoop on my memories." ”

"Hmph, just pretend!" Guiguzi turned over, hugged Mengqi tightly and fell asleep.

The messenger smiled helplessly, closed his eyes, put on his hood, and hid his face.

At the same time, Gangjun Haiyuntian.

The virtual projection of the messenger appeared on the reef, and despite the rough tide, it could not block her gaze.

Not far away, in a cocoon formed by the sea, a beautiful girl is like a sleeping beauty, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.

It's beautiful! This was the first thought that popped into the messenger's mind.

She had seen countless beauties before, whether it was the Moonlight Girl and others she had met along the way, or Princess Hanyue and the Sage Zhuang Zhou, except for Nuwa's face behind the mask, none of them had shaken her heart.

However, it is the first time that the impression cannot be erased at a glance like Ohashi.

"Now, Master G, she's beautiful." The voice of the Sea Spirit rang in her ears, and the messenger turned to look at the blue figure standing behind her.

In the midst of the raging tide, the messenger remembered who she was, "Are you ...... Yayoi? ”

"It's me, it's hard for you to remember me!" The blue figure gritted its teeth, and for a moment, the messenger saw its distorted face, "It's all your fault that made me look like this!" ”

"So, sacrificing Jiang Jun is to reshape your body?" The messenger ignored her roar and pointed out its purpose sharply, "But Yayoi, you were able to betray the ark to protect Chentang Pass, so why did you sacrifice to Jiangjun? ”

"Nature is for what I love!"

"You mean Big Joe? She's going to hate you. ”

"It doesn't matter, 100 years at most."

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell her the truth?"

"If you tell her, then I won't be so simple as destroying Jiang County." The Spirit of the Sea threatened with compassion, "And, now, you can't kill me. I am the lord of Haiyun and heaven, and I live with heaven and earth. ”

"Oh."

"G, your attitude is really unpleasant, while I haven't changed my mind now, leave Jiangjun, otherwise even you will be drowned."

The messenger said unconcernedly, "I will leave Jiangjun, but as a former colleague, I still have to remind you that you should never trust humans." Humans are the most cunning creatures in the world, and if they slack off, they will be eaten without any dregs left. ”
