Although it is a break, but at this moment, the meditation room of the ancient temple, one person and one lamp, seems to be fixed on the window leaves, and has not moved for a long time, except for a slight coughing and wheezing sound from time to time, there is no movement.

It has been more than a month since the change of the East China Sea, from late autumn to midwinter, from the sunset of the Guanhe River to the frost and snow breaking branches.

This bumpy journey back to Beijing, tens of thousands of pairs of eyes stared closely at his words and deeds, until he stayed in this ancient temple in the suburbs, and he didn't know how many eyeliner piles were about to move, but for him, this was nothing too terrible.

Tonight, knowing that the people he cared about were safe and sound, he finally felt a little relieved in his heart.

The lights flickered and went out suddenly, probably a good night's sleep, Xiahou Wuyu watched the green smoke disperse, and thought to himself.

However, how can this nightmare, which is difficult to get rid of, really escape with a few words of comfort?

He dreamed for a while that his father was killed by traitors, only to feel heartbroken, and found that the emperor's three armies were chasing and killing behind him, and his own brother was standing on the city wall and looking at him coldly, and for a while he saw Xiaoxue beckoning to him by the Taiye Pool.

He hurriedly ran over, only to see that Xiaoxue was still naughty, winked at him, stretched out his hands, and said with a smile: "Good brother, you are finally back!" Did you bring me any good stuff for this trip? ”

He was very happy, looked around Xiaoxue left and right, and said, "Xiaoxue, you're fine!" ”

But I heard the master reprimand behind him: "Your Highness, you are the eldest son of the founding emperor of Beichen, and the crown prince of Beichen. ”

Xiahou Wuyu hurriedly said: "No! No! But it's a cool night, but it's a cool night, how can I ...... How can I hurt him......"

Suddenly, Xia Houchen appeared behind the master, only to see that the founding emperor of the country, who had been iron-clad all his life, turned white overnight, looked sad, and sighed: "It's okay, go to Nanrong, go and summon the soldiers of the Phoenix Edict back, and give them a place to return." ”

After that, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and Xiahou Wuyu hurriedly ran over to support him, but Xiahou Chen had turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the wind in an instant, and he didn't even catch a corner of his clothes.

He was overwhelmed with grief for a moment, and cried out loudly in his dream: "Father! Father! ”

At this time, the envoys of Nanrong had already led their troops to the city, and they captured the soldiers of the Phoenix Edict hidden in Nanrong, and they were about to be bloodied. But on the high wall, Xiahou Liangye looked down at his people indifferently: "I'm tired of my friends to deal with them for our country, these disloyal and unrighteous people, these vassals of the abolished prince, just abandon them!" ”

Xiahou Wuyu roared angrily: "No! No! He shook his head frantically, his heart aching, and he asked himself: Why did things turn out the way they did? Why...... Why!

"Senior brother, senior brother, it's me, Lu Lin!"

Suddenly, Xiahou Wuyu seemed to hear someone calling him and pulling him back to reality.

In the dream, I was startled, my back was already soaked, and the golden seal of the phoenix edict that did not leave my body was held tightly in the palm of my hand, and due to excessive force, along the palm prints, a series of sinuous bright red blood spills oozed.

He got up hurriedly, walked to the window with an oil lamp, and asked softly, "Lu Lin, is it you?" ”

But I heard the sound of small footsteps, and someone had come over step by the wall, and at this moment the moon was hidden in the clouds, and it was dark and dreary in all directions, and no one found his whereabouts.

When he got to the window, the pane opened slightly, and he jumped lightly and entered the room.

When the two brothers saw each other again after a month, they couldn't help but have red eyes.

Xiahou said without worry: "Why are you here?" Have the soldiers guarding the courtyard finally relaxed tonight? ”

Lu Lin, Nian Chu and Ruoye Pavilion were all imprisoned in the ancient temple Chai Courtyard, which was only two courtyards away from the Zen Courtyard where Xiahou Wuyu lived, but in the middle, it was like an iron wall, unbreakable.

Lu Lin said: "Sister Qing changed into a uniform out of nowhere, she was very good, and she slipped in silently and changed me out." Sister Qing said, Senior Brother must have something to talk to someone tonight, she is a girl's family, and it is inconvenient to disturb each other late at night, so I have to change me. ”

Xiahou said without a heart: It turns out that she changed her uniform tonight for this, but I regret her hard work, but I just think she is fun on a whim...... It was I who ignored her thoughts, Xiahou Wuyu, Xiahou Wuyu, you are really a piece of elm!

With a sigh, he continued: "Tonight, I really have a lot to say, but I don't know where to start. You've all suffered so much these days, and I often think that as long as those who survive can continue to live well, that's fine. ”

Lu Lin looked sad, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Nian Yi has already taken refuge in King Wei, and it is difficult for me and Nian Chu to believe it...... And the disappointment is still above me at the beginning. The three of us grew up together, and the two of them are the best, one is happy, the other loves quiet, but they inexplicably surrender to each other...... Speaking of which, senior brother, I can't stand you, I have been by Nian Yi's side for a long time, but I have never noticed his thoughts, and I have not been able to take precautions in advance......"

Xiahou Wuyu said: "Everyone has their own position and choice, and others have no right to interfere." Above the temple, it is not a place to care about feelings, and party struggle is only about success or failure, not about right and wrong, let alone what is right or wrong. ”

Lu Lin said: "Senior brother, although you say so, I know that you must be very sad in your heart. Don't worry, Nian Chu and I will never leave you, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. ”

Xiahou Wuyu smiled miserably and said, "It's a little sad. ”

He suddenly remembered that at that time in Yangzhou, everything was still simple, happy, and unstained.

At that time, although he had not yet recognized his old friends, at least Xu Qianyun was still alive in this world, and his father was still the majestic Emperor Beichen, although Lu Lin and Nian Chu always took the trouble to make noise around them day after day, which was really noisy, but no one really passed away at that time. Now that I think about it, in the days before the storm, he couldn't catch anything.

He can easily forgive Xiahou Liangye for everything he did to him, but as everyone knows, the injuries in his body can be healed, and the pain in his heart will never scab over.

After a while, he said quietly: "Do you remember that when I first arrived at Yaoxian Island that day, the poison in the two people that the Jade Girl ordered to be carried out was caused by the thousand-year-old black lotus, and since then, I have faintly doubted Nian Yi." ”

Lu Linqi said: "Nian Yi? What is his connection to the Millennium Black Lotus? ”

After asking, he said thoughtfully: "Yes, that Kunlun Death Valley, only my father has come out alive, my father must know how to solve the mystery of Death Valley with my aunt, and Nian Yi is the first proud disciple under my aunt's seat, and the first choice for the head of the Wumeng faction in the future, so my aunt passed on the method of cracking to Nian Yi." ”

The aunt in Lu Lin's mouth is Lu Gongyu, the head of the Wumeng faction, and his father is Lu Gongyu's own brother, named Lu Chouyu.

When Lu Chouyu was a teenager, he followed Xiahouchen to conquer the battlefield, made outstanding achievements, was named the Duke of Lu Guo, and was awarded the rank of general, but somehow, during the southern expedition five years ago, he suddenly left Handan, the summer capital, and disappeared into the rivers and lakes, not asking about the world.

Xiahou Wuyu shook his head and said, "No." Master has always been rigorous, and when it comes to the world's most poisonous matter, he will not easily reveal it to others. The reason why I bring this up is actually because Lu Guogong is not the only one in this world who knows the method of cracking Death Valley. ”
