Chapter VIII

Zhang Xun raised his arm, showing four deep claw marks: "There is a cat smell on it, I think it's hard not to smell it." ”

He smiled and continued, "If you were the Nine Lives Cat Demon, I would have died just now. This trick of manipulating the corpse, except for the cat demon, is only the cat and 9. I guessed right. ”

A series of laughter came from the red light: "In that case, as a compliment, let you die to understand." ”

As he spoke, the red light slowly stirred up a whirlpool in the air current, transforming into the shape of a cat. The most conspicuous thing is that there are two tails behind it that are almost twice as long as it, constantly shaking in the air.

"Single-tailed double-stranded, one inch for ten years. With such a long double-strand tail, it should be more than 100 years old. I guessed right, it's a cat again! ”

The blood-red cat shadow was filled with a strong killing intent: "What if you guess correctly." It's just a matter of being a ghost. ”

"Childe, are you sure you can win it?" Seeing this, Su Ye asked quietly.

Zhang Xun replied in a low voice: "It's hard to say." It's so agile that I can't even touch it if I compete for speed. If I could use the ghost hand, I would still have an eight-point chance of winning. But it's alert, and I'm afraid it won't come near me easily......"

Although the two of them spoke loudly, the cat's hearing was extraordinary, and they had already heard a word clearly. It sneered with a bit of smugness: "If you're afraid, just wait for death!" I'm going to give you a good time! ”

As he spoke, he turned into a red light and shot out again, rushing straight at Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun naturally wouldn't sit still, and threw out the last spell vigorously. The cat snorted coldly again, and the red light only swam slightly, and easily dodged the attack.

At the same time, the cat did not stop attacking, and the deadly red light was no more than a millimeter away from Zhang Xun! His entire body was shrouded in the range of red light. 、

Suya wanted to rush forward to block the red light's attack, but the cat was too fast, and it was too late.

Unexpectedly, the red light suddenly stopped a few inches away from Zhang Xun's body.

"Childe, get out of the way!" The girl screamed in frustration.

Zhang Xun actually laughed to himself, and the night on the side fell into the clouds.

"Night, what do you think that's that?"

Sue Ye looked in the direction he was pointing. At the end of the red light, the cat-like light cluster was constantly struggling in the air, and a faint blue phantom light seemed to flash faintly in the dark and clear night sky like a jewel, weaving a large net behind the cat. At the end of each ray of blue light was a charm firmly embedded in the trunk of the tree.

He recited the incantation lightly in his mouth, used the wind control technique, his body floated, and flew to the cat who was trapped in the net and continued: "I have already laid the Lingshan stone powder in the air beforehand, this stone powder can be dissolved with the spiritual power of people, and it is extremely subtle, it is difficult to detect. As long as the command of the spell is infused, this stone powder can be changed at will. ”

He twisted the last spell with his fingertips and said, "The previous spell will form a dense cobweb in the air from the Lingshan stone powder in the middle, and this spell will give the command of 'web'. As a result, you're stuck in it, and you can't move. ”

The cat was unwilling to make a strange whirring bark, but its intimidation was pretentious. The light attached to the spiritual power had firmly bound it, and it was very difficult to even move its body.

"Actually, I'm curious. Say you're a cat again, but you shouldn't be all. Zhang Xun said. Now let's reveal our original form! ”

As he spoke, a faint blue light appeared on the talisman in his palm, and with a wave of his arm, it was heavily imprinted in the center of the red light. A tragic cat hiss came out of the red light, and after a violent tremble, the red light finally slowly took on its original form!

It was the skeleton of a cat!

Su Ye couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, Zhang Xun looked very calm: "Sure enough, it's an ossified form, no wonder I didn't even leave a single hair when I grabbed me." ”

The cat tried to shake the steel needle-sharp tailbone, but it backfired. After a futile struggle, it gave up its action and panted: "Now what do you want?" ”

"You are not a congenital cultivated cat demon, how did you get this ability to manipulate corpses?"

"Shemales have different paths. Now that you have captured me, why waste these tongues and kill them quickly! The cat sneered again.

"No, Childe is not a person who kills indiscriminately. I have also been controlled to do things that hurt nature and reason, and thanks to my son, I can get a new life. "Su Ye cautiously approached, with only purity and clarity in his eyes, which made people feel calm." We just want to know, what the hell is going on with that old woman, and why did you become a skeleton when you're a cat? Where does the demonic power to manipulate corpses come from......"

"I don't know where these demonic powers come from." If the cat interrupted the night again, although its body could not move yet, Zhang Xun had released the oppression of the mana, which made it feel a lot more relaxed.

"Actually, you're right, I'm really not a cat demon who was born with a congenital cultivation, a few months ago, I just moved here with my old master and his family."

Su Ye immediately guessed a few points, and couldn't help asking, "Who is your old master......?" ”

Sure enough, the cat lowered its head again and said, "This is the old woman you saw." ”

Sue Ye felt the sadness in his words.

Although the cat has lost its pupils, it can still feel the distance of memories from the holes in the eye sockets on the skeleton.

"The old master has a little grandson, who is well-behaved and cute, and his son and daughter-in-law are also very filial. If it weren't for the famine in his hometown, who would want to leave his hometown to earn a living. But ......" said that, the cat choked up a little. "Right here, on this mountain, a bunch of lowly bandits, all of my old master, and her family, all, all ......" Hatred drove it to keep biting its claws, as if it could alleviate the damage caused by those horrible scenes.

He covered his mouth all night and kept shaking his head, as if he couldn't believe that such a human tragedy had happened here.

"What's next?" Zhang Xun couldn't help but come over and ask.

Mao's tone was suddenly filled with violent murderous aura, and he continued:

"What else...... I wanted to bite them to death, but unfortunately my legs were weak and my teeth were open, and I was no match for them at all. I was caught and laughed at by them, saying that I was just an old cat whose hair was about to fall out, and that he wanted to learn from a dog to show his loyalty......" and his words were stuck in his throat, and he could no longer speak.

"When I died, they threw me in the bushes, when I suddenly heard a voice in my ear, telling me that it could give me the strength to avenge my master, and asked me if I would like it. Of course I do, as long as I can take revenge, let me do whatever I want. I promised him. And then I became what I am now, and it's a good thing to have power. I avenged my lords by turning those bandits into stinking corpses in the grave......"

The two of them glanced at the dark mound. I didn't expect that the stinky corpses that attacked them just now still had these origins.

"Then why are you manipulating the corpse of the old woman? And why piece together a skeleton? "I can't understand the night.

"The bones...... It's her little grandson......" the cat's voice choked again. "The bandits gave their little grandson to ...... Throw it everywhere...... Although the old master is dead, her resentment of caring for her grandson has not dissipated. I manipulated the old master's corpse, wanting to let the little grandson have a whole corpse in the ground, so that the old master wished, and then he could go to the underworld to reincarnate with peace of mind. It's a pity that in the end, it's still a ...... short."

"That ......," Su Ye looked at the bandage tightly wrapped around the boy's right arm.

"Yes, it's the arm bone of the right arm that's missing. At first, I wanted to remove the right arm bone from him, but ...... When the old master saw him, he seemed to see his grandson again, and he broke free from my control and moved on his own, and even the hundred insect soup I had carefully boiled was replaced by her on her own initiative......"

"So, the herbs we drank were not poisonous in the first place?"

"Of course, it was a herb specially prepared by the old master to speed up the healing of wounds. It's a pity that your friend doesn't know what to do, so he secretly vomited it all. ”

Zhang Xun scratched his head and muttered, "Who knows if that thing can be drunk." ”

"I could only forcibly control the old master's body, but in the end I still lost...... I grabbed a puppy and wanted the old owner to take it with the little grandchildren, believing that they would not be lonely. ”

When the cat had said all this, he said no more, and waited for his death. Zhang Xun and Su Ye glanced at each other, only to see that Su Ye had tears in his eyes, and tears had already hung on his cheeks, and Zhang Xun's eyes were suspiciously red, and he was a little embarrassed not to look over his head when he was seen by Su Ye.

I saw that with a flick of his fingers, the web of mana suddenly disappeared without a trace. The unrestrained cat was stunned for a moment, never expecting such a result.

It looked at the two of them, nodded gratefully, and the skeletal skeleton that shone with white light gradually dimmed, and then leaped forward and jumped under the tree, sinking into the dirt and gradually becoming one with the earth.

Su Ye said with tears in his eyes: "No matter what, they can be regarded as a family reunion." ”

Zhang Xun stepped forward and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks with his fingertips, and said softly: "Don't cry anymore, it's easy to hurt yourself." ”

Su Ye shyly turned around, took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it twice, his hand suddenly stopped, and he looked at it, it turned out that the handkerchief was still stained with the stains that had been stained by Zhang Xun before, and this time it got her face, she was anxious and angry, and she couldn't cry or laugh all of a sudden, so she had to turn around and glared at Zhang Xun coquettishly, which made the young man inexplicable, and annoyed her somewhere.

By this time, Shannu had followed the scent to the edge of the Black Forest, and she jumped down from the paper kite, her nose fluttering, and her face was full of sorrow.

"What's going on? I could still smell the little brother's scent just now, but now there is no more at all. There are still so many dark clouds in the sky, it's so annoying, I can't see anything clearly. ”

She stepped forward and wanted to enter the forest, but as soon as she opened her legs, she was blocked by the evil spirit: "It's so powerful, you have to find a way to get rid of it." ”

While thinking, she untied the bag she was carrying on her back, buried her head in it and kept rummaging, and finally burst out: "Haha, I found it, this is the Qiankun bag that the little master said." ”

She pulled an old gray cloth bag out of her baggage, clapped her hands and smiled, "I hope you don't fail again at the critical moment." ”

Saying that, she recited according to the mantra on the mouth of the bag according to the gourd drawing, while loosening the rope tied to the Qiankun bag, and sending the mouth of the bag forward, only to hear the whirring wind loudly, the Qiankun bag continued to absorb the black gas inward, and soon, the black gas around the edge of the forest was sucked clean. And after a "full meal", the Qiankun bag actually tied the mouth of the bag by itself and did not move.

Xiangnu looked at the sky, there was still a lot of black gas left, and he patted the Qiankun bag angrily and said, "You are really useless, you can't eat it after only eating such a little." I was expecting you to suck it all up. Forget it, it's better for me to find my little brother on my own. ”

Saying that, she abandoned the bag and walked straight into the forest.

The two of them restrained their moods, and after silently mourning the small mound that had just been built, they began to set off for the outside of the forest.

Although the evil spirit had not dissipated, the maze no longer existed, and the two of them walked all the way towards the shady side of the trees, and the road became wider and wider.

"Actually, I'm very envious of them......" Zhang Xun broke the silence and suddenly burst out.

"They're dead, but they're still reunited. And what about me...... But I don't even know what my father and mother look like......"

The boy looked fragile and helpless at the moment, without the slightest hint of the omnipotence of the great war just now.

I didn't know how to comfort him with words. But she knew in her heart that at this moment, the young man did not need any soft words, but the support of actions. She walked gently to his side and mustered up the courage to hold his hand, the boy was frightened by her sudden boldness, and only felt that the palm of the hand touched by her was constantly sweating, and he did not dare to look into her eyes, but only held her hand hard.

Both of them don't know how to expose their hearts in front of each other, although they haven't known each other for a long time, but they have gone through several disasters, hovering on the edge of life and death several times, and the unspeakable emotions have broken through the ground unconsciously, and when they find out, they have already flourished and are intertwined.

"Look! Found a way out! Zhang Xun pointed ahead and pushed aside a bush. A mountain road winds its way to a short distance, and the trees in the sky gradually turn into low bushes.

"It's so cloudy, there's not a ray of sunshine through, let's get out quickly." She laughed happily as a lotus spirit, she likes to soak up the sun the most, and such a damp environment makes her feel uncomfortable.

As soon as she stepped out, Zhang Xun suddenly rushed towards her, shouting: "Be careful!" ”

As they spoke, the two fell to the ground and rolled together. The man's sweat and body odor penetrated into her nostrils, and the delicate skin and knotted muscles rubbed, making the night's heart pound suddenly.

A white light flashed with a scorching light, sweeping away the haze in the air, flying past the place where they had been standing at night, and nailing it to a big tree behind them with a "duh".

The white tail feathers trembled to themselves, and it turned out to be a sharp feathered arrow!

"There's a giant bear over there." Zhang Xun got up from the ground and looked in the direction where the arrow was flying. His eyesight is amazing, and he can see things for a hundred meters even without yin and yang eyes. As far as the eye could see, a burly man stood on the giant bear.

"Who are you?" Zhang Xun shouted at the bear and the man.

But the man did not respond. The two faced each other for a moment, and the man suddenly pulled out the huge bow in his hand, raised it above his head, and shot an arrow into the air.

The arrow burst into a dazzling light in the cloudy sky, illuminating a radius of several miles. In an instant, the young man clearly saw the man's appearance. He was dressed in a strong suit, with thick armor tied around his wrists and ankles, several long arrows stuck in his quiver on his back, and the bow in his hand was black and shiny. The man's hair was tied behind his head, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and his appearance was upright, and he was a rare beautiful man. He squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them carefully by the bright light, and said loudly:

"I'm Ying Long! That kid, you're a goblin by your side, hurry up and get out! ”

On the third pole of the sun, in the vertical arch hall of Lin'an City, the civil and military officials were impatiently talking about each other.

At this time, Qin Hui's face was unfathomable, and he only closed his eyes and smiled at the temptation of his colleagues beside him, and did not say much. He hung his head down, the wide sleeves of his robe clinging to the sides of his ironed overalls, and the jade sash was tied diagonally around his waist, as if he had nothing to do with himself.

"The emperor has arrived." The deacons and eunuchs shouted at the top of their voices, and the ministers suddenly quieted down, lifted the front hem of their uniforms in unison, knelt neatly on both sides of the court, and shouted long live.

Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty wore a wide golden dragon robe and walked up slowly from the back of the hall, and the deacon and eunuch who held the dust whisk hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and placed the slightly obese Zhao Gou on the dragon chair.

He sat down and nodded. The deacon and eunuch bowed down to show that he understood, and then opened his throat and shouted: "If there is something to do, play it early, and if there is nothing to do, disperse the court." ”

A bearded general walked out of the military attachΓ© queue, and the urn sounded and said angrily.

"Long live my emperor, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers and Soldiers has a book."

As he spoke, he held up a book with both hands forward, and the deacon eunuch presented the book to Zhao Gou's hand and flipped through it, and Shi Kai said.

"Your Majesty, our army has recently won several great victories in the Central Plains. The hearts of the people of the Central Plains were boiling, and they actively joined the army to fight against the gold thieves. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other troops are now stationed in various places, waiting for His Majesty to send food and pay to reward the three armies, the gold thief is weak, and now if he is strong, he will definitely be able to defeat him. ”

The more impassioned Shi Kai said, the more Zhao Gou tightened his eyebrows. He glanced at Qin Hui who was standing at the front of the civil official queue out of the corner of his eyes, but saw that he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and he couldn't help but feel dark in his heart: "This Qin Hui, yesterday I asked him to fight the Confucianism." Today, I became the shopkeeper and threw this hot potato to me. ”

"Emperor Shengming, I am Song Tianwei. If you defeat the gold thief and welcome back the two sects of Huiqin, the emperor will build a thousand years of meritorious deeds for my Great Song Dynasty, how different is it from Yao Shun? This merit will be written in the history books and will be remembered through the ages. ”

It was Prime Minister Zhao Ding who spoke, and his status was equal to that of Qin Hui. This person has a clear face and a long beard, and he is quite prestigious in the court. After saying this, Zhao Ding also proudly cast a provocative glance at Qin Hui.

Qin Hui ignored it, still lowering his eyebrows and remaining silent. Zhao Gou saw it in his eyes, but he was very angry, thinking that Qin Hui was deliberately retreating, and he was secretly colluding with Zhao Ding and others, and he had long been complicit.

"The soldiers are fast, please make a quick decision. The livelihood of the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the world is in the minds of His Majesty. ”

Zhao Ding pressed forward step by step, making Zhao Gou in a dilemma. Although he is the emperor, many things are not justified by his reckless actions. At the moment, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong beat the golden people to lose their armor, and the voice of the Lord and the voice of harmony gradually faded; If he insists on going his own way and refuses to send troops, in case of arousing the resentment of the soldiers and the people, I am afraid that it will be difficult to step down.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word to play."

Qin Hui slowly paced out of the queue and knelt in front of the hall.

Zhao Gou was overjoyed, waved his hand and said, "What's the matter with Qin Aiqing, play it quickly." ”

Qin Hui slowly stood up, bowed down and said, "What the two adults Shi Zhao said just now is not unreasonable......

Zhao Gou almost fainted, and the backlog of fire in the morning was almost about to burst.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ But what the two adults said was only one side, and missed the crux of the matter. ”

"Lord Qin, you said that we missed the crux of the matter. In your opinion, what's the key? I think it's just cowardice and fear of war, afraid of the gold thief. "Shi Kai is a martial artist, and he speaks without any restraint.

"No, no, no. It is not because of timidity, but because of the long-term construction of the country. Lord Shi only knows how to march and fight, but he doesn't know that the foundation of national construction lies in management, and if there is no grain and grass in the rear, how to kill the enemy desperately in the front. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others only plundered a few cities in the Central Plains, and they had already consumed most of the national treasury; If they continue to wave their troops north, I am afraid that the Jin people will not be destroyed, and the treasury of our Great Song Dynasty will be eaten up first. ”

"But Yue Fei and the cities they have seized can also pay taxes to our court and fill the treasury."

"Lord Shi's words are wrong. The emperor is kind to the people and compassionate, how can he let the people who have just escaped from the rule of the Jin people bear heavy taxes. Lord Shi, do you want Your Majesty to leave a name for generations to come? ”

"No, no...... That was not what I meant. Shi Kai hurriedly denied it.

"The gold lord has already intended to reconcile with our dynasty, and the two sides rule across the river and do not offend each other. He has sent envoys to reconcile him many times. At present, the momentum of our army is like a rainbow, it is a good time to negotiate peace, if Yue Wumu is allowed to go deep alone, in case of unfortunate defeat, the Jin people will be annoyed and angry, and it will be difficult to succeed in the peace negotiation at that time. ”

Zhao Ding saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly interjected: "Lord Qin is actually too worried. Yue Fei and Han Shizhong have fought more than 30 battles in the Central Plains, but they have not yet been defeated, and the golden thief general Jin Wushu has been beaten to the point of embarrassment. With such an invincible division, he smashed the Yellow Dragon directly, and An can fail? ”

Qin Hui sneered and said, "Lord Zhao's words are wrong. How can we generalize about marching and fighting? In the past, the Qin generals Xi Qishu and Bai Yibing had been defeated for the Jin people and almost died, if the meaning of Lord Zhao, how could these two generals defeat the Jin people in the future to avenge the revenge of the day? Pang Juan of the former Wei State was rampant in the six countries, invincible, according to Lord Zhao's words, when the world was swept away and the Liuhe was unified, why was it defeated in the hands of Sun Bin and killed by an arrow in Maling Road. Today's things are the same, if Yue Fei wins, it doesn't matter, if Yue Fei is defeated, and the Jin people take advantage of the situation to counterattack, my Great Song Yan still has the power to resist? In case the capital is lost, Lord Zhao, you have to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, maybe you can still be a half-official position; And I, who are brave and loyal, am afraid that we will go to the national disaster with Your Majesty. ”

"You talk nonsense! You're spewing blood! Zhao Ding was so angry that his beard was raised and his whole body trembled.

"Am I talking nonsense? If he is a loyal minister, how can he gamble with His Majesty's safety and the society of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Zhao Ding was speechless to refute, his body was weak and almost fell, and several colleagues and ministers next to him hurriedly grabbed him and helped him back to the courtiers' queue.

"After not seeing each other for a night, Qin Hui has become much more eloquent." Zhao Gou was overjoyed in his heart. Unexpectedly, Qin Huiju, who usually stuttered for a long time when he said a word, then took the initiative and quoted scriptures from his words, and pushed back the two hardliners of the main battle. He cleared his throat, and wanted to take out the edict that had been prepared yesterday, stop the attack, and prepare to negotiate peace.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do."

"What kind of medicine is being sold in this Qin juniper gourd?" Zhao Gou nodded and motioned for Qin Hui to play.

"According to Weichen's opinion, the top priority at the moment is not only to urge peace with the Jin State, but also to transfer Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other troops back from the Yellow River as soon as possible to show our sincerity."

When Shi Kai heard this, he ignored the rules of the court, and rushed forward and said, "Your Majesty must not!" If it weren't for Yue Fei and others fighting bravely on the front line, I'm afraid that the people of Jiangnan would not be able to escape the scourge of war. At this time, Yue Fei and others were withdrawn, and the foundation of the Northern Expedition was destroyed. Your Majesty, don't listen to the words of such a traitor as Qin Hui. ”

"Your Majesty should still remember how Grandpa Tai turned things around and changed the bad habits of the previous dynasty one by one, right?" Qin Hui saw that Zhao Gou was thoughtful, and continued to ask.

Of course, Zhao Gou will not forget. As a member of Zhao Kuangyin's lineage, he has heard the teacher mention since he was a child that in order to reverse the warlord division of the feudal towns since the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the great grandfather used a clever trick of "releasing the military power with a glass of wine", dismissed the military power of the general Shi Shouxin and others, and firmly controlled the forbidden army in his own hands. Qin Hui is mentioning these now, isn't he reminding himself to be careful that Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others are too loud and self-respecting?

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with the wisdom of the Son of Heaven. I believe that if you don't explain what the minister is referring to, Your Majesty can understand it. ”

Qin Hui ended his speech lightly, and the hidden words of the mystery made Zhao Gou even more anxious.

He struggled internally for a while. What if the Jin Kingdom is broken and the two sects of Huiqin are returned? He looked up at the ministers, his eyes just opposite Qin Hui's. In the eyes of this guy who is usually only a promise, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, there is a light in his eyes that is difficult for him to resist. Zhao Gou took a deep breath, and secretly said in his heart, the two sects of Huiqin are the same line as Taizong, if they really welcome them back, how can they still be emperors? No, seize this good moment. He made up his mind, straightened up, and said to the ministers in the hall.

"The ...... of the Order"

The ministers knelt down together, the court was silent, and everyone was waiting for Zhao Gou's holy message.

"He ordered Qin Hui to be the minister of the Qin Mission, and made every effort to supervise the matter of peace with Jin. In addition, the military department quickly issued gold medals, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other departments worked day and night, and the squad teacher Lin'an was waiting for dispatch. ”

When Shi Kai, Zhao Ding and the others heard this, they just didn't beat their chests on the spot, but Shi Xingxing said to Zhao Gou with a hope.

"Your Majesty, if the military situation is urgent and you can't return quickly, what should you do?"

"If the first gold medal does not come, he will go to the second gold medal until he returns. If Yue Fei really dares to disobey the order, he will not obey ......," Zhao Gou shouted ruthlessly. "I dare to break the legacy of Taizu and make other people's heads fall to the ground!"

Shi Kai and others had no choice but to shout long live. No one noticed that a transparent human face gradually appeared on the top of Qin Hui's lowered head, revealing a weird smile.

The night was dark, and a bonfire was lit near a rock near the foot of the mountain.

"I see. Thankfully, you dodged that arrow, otherwise I wouldn't have made a big mistake. Ying Long, dressed as Orion, said as he wiped the carved bow. The firelight shone on his face, revealing the clear and well-defined outline of his face, his slender eyebrows raised to the sides, and his eyes shining brightly in the firelight. What is not commensurate with the strength of a kudzu cloth is that he wears a carved shoulder guard in the shape of a dragon head on his right shoulder, and a glorious jade belt is pinned to his waist.

"Brother Yinglong's arrow seems to have magic attached to it, but which immortal did he learn from?" Zhang Xun couldn't help but ask curiously. His instincts told him that Ying Long was the same kind of person as him.

"I don't have a master. These spells have been around since I was born. Ying Long smiled faintly. I was able to pull out this nine-turn bow at the age of five, and I was thought to be a monster, and I was driven out of the village without a father, mother, or support......"

Zhang Xun's heart was excited, and a fragmented picture seemed to appear in his mind.

Countless torch-bearers surrounded a man and a woman and snatched a baby from their hands.

The man and woman tried to rush over to stop them, but they were knocked to the ground and tied up by the surrounding people.

The loud cries of babies, the burning of torches, the shouts of the crowd......

All kinds of voices crumpled together, making Zhang Xun suddenly feel a pain in his head and frown.

Ying Long noticed his expression and said curiously: "Little brother, your face is pale, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Su Ye is no longer afraid of Ying Long now, and took over with a light smile: "I think it was Brother Ying Long's words that evoked the memories of the son." ”

"Could it be that the little brother has no father or mother, and wanders the world alone?" Ying Long exclaimed.

"Even if my parents are still alive, I don't know where they are." The young man took out the longevity lock with the word "Zhang" from his arms and handed it to Ying Long. "I heard the master say, this is the only token in the little brother's swaddling clothes, the little brother is looking for traces of his parents everywhere, but the world is big, the sea of people is vast, I am afraid that there is no heart."

Ying Long took the longevity lock and looked at it carefully, and sighed. Immediately, as if he suddenly thought of something, he put the longevity lock into the young man's palm, stretched out his hand to hold it, and said: "Little brother, you and I have such a similar experience, so fateful, it is better to worship as brothers with different surnames, walk the rivers and lakes together, and take care of each other in the future." I don't know what you think? ”

Before the boy could reply, Su Ye clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Good idea! Brother Ying Long and Gongzi were able to meet because of fate. What's more, there are many similarities between the two of you, maybe it's really a secret arrangement. ”

"Exactly! I Yinglong has had no friends since the day I was born, and being able to meet my little brother today is not a gift from God. But, little brother, I haven't asked for your name yet? ”

"Looking for ...... in the next zhang" was saying, he suddenly hesitated: Who am I?

He looked up at Ying Long, and Ying Long's smiling face seemed to be full of irresistible enthusiasm. Although he still had doubts about his cursed background, Zhang Xun could no longer control his emotions and knelt on one knee with his hands clenched into fists.

"Hurry up, it is also fate that you and my brother can meet here, and in the future, it will be a beautiful thing for the foolish brother to wander the rivers and lakes with you and the night girl. Besides, Brother Fool also knows a little bit of means, which can help you find your biological parents. ”

Su Ye was also really happy for the two of them: "Brother Ying Long and Gongzi, Pingshui meet, it is really rare to be able to become close friends." ”

"Yes, I've been on this mountain for more than ten years. I have seen all kinds of ** people, until I saw the virtuous brother, I had such a feeling of falling in love with him. This is really destiny. ”

"Big brother, what are your plans next?"

"Where's the virtuous brother?"

"The younger brother was ordered by the master to investigate the whereabouts of the dragon vein, and now the clues have been broken, and the matter of my father and mother is nowhere to be found, and I don't know how to sort out the clue."

Ying Long pondered for a moment and said, "Can Brother Xian lock your longevity to Brother Fool again?" ”

Zhang Xun nodded, took out the longevity lock and handed it to Ying Long. Ying Long placed the longevity lock in the palm of his left hand, raised the middle finger of his right index finger, and recited words in his mouth. A pale green halo suddenly appeared on the dragon's head shoulder ornament, and a slender object floated out of the halo and swam in front of him.

"Dragonbeard, look at this." Ying Long raised his right hand high and stretched it out in front of the pale green slender object.

The object named Dragon Whisker swam around the longevity lock, dragging out a faint green trail in the night sky, and after a few swims, the dragon whisker returned to Ying Long's eyes, and the slender body lightly clicked a few times, and then flew towards the night sky in the distance.

"Big brother, is this ......?" Zhang Xun asked curiously.

Ying Long returned the longevity lock to Zhang Xundao: "This is the dragon's beard for my brother." The night girl is a demon, you should be able to see it, how can the virtuous brother actually be ......? ”

Su Ye interjected: "The eldest brother doesn't know, the son has the ability of yin and yang eyes, and can peek into the spirit body that mortals can't see. ”

Zhang Xun replied to the question: "Big brother, what is Shishen?" ”

"Shikigami? It should be a type of spirit. He can sign a contract with someone for people to expel him, and he is a brother's style dragon beard, which has been by my side since I was a child. Just now I gave it an order to capture the remnants of the breath on the Longevity Lock, and use it as a clue to find it. When it comes to finding things, spirits are much stronger than us humans. ”

"The younger brother thanked the eldest brother." Zhang Xun's face was happy. He asked. "However, big brother, you have many secrets such as gods and strange powers, don't you want to find out your life experience?"

"Hahaha!" Ying Long laughed twice, reached out and patted the young man's shoulder. "What can you do if you know, what can you do if you don't know. I'm not living a good life yet. Life must be happy, why bother with these tedious little things. However, since the virtuous brother has this wish, he will definitely do his best to help you find your relatives. ”

"On a good day like today, it's better to let the two of you sing a song at night, which can be regarded as a congratulatory gift to Brother Yinglong and Gongzi." Su Ye walked to the campfire and smiled.

"The night girl is still good at silk and bamboo? It's so good, let me wait for the mountain village to be vassals and elegant. Ying Long clapped his hands and laughed.

"Not only is it elegant, the long-awaited singing of the night is not an exaggeration."

The praise of the two made Suye's cheeks red. She sat upright, dressed up, coughed, her teeth lightly opened, and beautiful songs slowly flowed out of her mouth.

The autumn mountains are sparse and stormy

The smoke swept away the blue clouds

The dream is far away

The sword cuts the uneven road in the world

The long music drifts into the distance with the flow of air, condensing with the night air. This night's reunion turned out to be the best memory for the three of them in the future.
