Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

"Cheng Yin, where are you going? Professor Wu: They're on the other side. Lin Yun asked very strangely.

"I'm going to take a look at the 'Celestial Dragon Lance', maybe I can find the key to everything." I turned around when I was done. Running ahead. I suddenly felt a force guiding me in the right direction.

I walked very fast, and after a while, I saw Li Huayi's figure, and the soldiers on patrol walked in front of me, and I finally came to his side.

"Cheng Shaoxia, why did you come here on purpose?" Li Huayi looked at me suspiciously and asked.

The night in the Shu army camp was quiet, and even the popping sound of firewood being burned could be heard. The moonlight shone softly on the earth, like a dream.

"Li Huayi, can I take a look at your 'Tianlong Gun'." I put it bluntly.

"Shaoxia, what should I do, just take it." Li Huayi was very bold and handed me the 'Heavenly Dragon Gun'.

I took the 'Celestial Dragon Lance' and looked at it carefully, except for the weight that I couldn't feel, the overall workmanship was extremely exquisite, and the wooden handle was carved with a dragon pattern on the top, so lifelike that it seemed to leap out of the handle at any moment.

"The workmanship of this 'Heavenly Dragon Lance' is exquisite, but what do you think is wonderful?" I asked, even a little bit of information is crucial to me.

"I've been studying the mysteries of the 'Celestial Dragon Lance' almost every day since I got it, but until now I haven't had a clue about it, so I don't think this blade will be different from the others, and there is nothing special about it." Li Huayi said.

Su Qinyu's 'Youlong Shield', Mo Qifeng's 'Tiange Sword', Fang Shuran's 'Tianjing Fan' and Li Huayi's 'Tianlong Spear'.

Aside from Li Huayi's 'Celestial Dragon Lance', each heirloom blade has its own special features, so I think this very ordinary-looking 'Celestial Dragon Lance' must have a secret that we don't know yet.

When I looked closely, it was true that there was no difference except for the exquisite workmanship, and it is no wonder that Li Huayi had not noticed the difference so far.

"I think it must be that we haven't found the conditions to trigger the 'Celestial Dragon Lance' yet." I thought.

Actually, this is just my guess, and there is no basis, but I seem to be able to feel the power contained in the 'Celestial Dragon Spear'.

"Shaoxia, it's not ......early today," Li Huayi looked at me and said.

"Yes, I'll come back another day to find the secret of the 'Celestial Dragon Lance'." I said and returned the 'Heavenly Dragon Spear' to Li Huayi's hand.

"Shaoxia, you misunderstood, the night is dark, the cool breeze is blowing in the barracks, Shaoxia has just returned from the battlefield, it is not appropriate to stay here, I want to say that you can bring the 'Tianlong Lance' back to the military tent and study the mysteries carefully." Li Huayi pushed the 'Heavenly Dragon Spear' back to me.

"This ...... 'Heavenly Dragon Spear' is Your Excellency's talisman blade, how can it be easily handed over to me." I hurriedly refused.

"Shaoxia, it's serious, the 'Tianlong Lance' is just a blade for me, Shaoxia is kind to me, please don't care about this little thing." Li Huayi said very sincerely: "Besides, if there is no young man, I am afraid that Zaihe and this 'Heavenly Dragon Spear' will still be trapped in Yiling City at this time." ”

"This..."I looked at Li Huayi: "Then I'll take it for the time being, but it will definitely be returned to Zhao."

"Okay." Li Huayi glanced at me after finishing and continued: "Since this is the case, let's say goodbye. Shaoxia still rested earlier. Li Huayi turned and left.

I looked at the 'Celestial Dragon Spear' in my hand and found it hard to believe that it would all go so smoothly.

I took the 'Dragon Lance' and prepared to return to the barracks, but when I thought of Professor Twilight and Hu Zaide, I changed my direction and sat down next to a burning ham.

I shook the blade in my hand casually, but there was no clue at all, this 'Tianlong Spear' was really just like what Li Huayi said, just an extremely ordinary blade. I was still unwilling, so I took the 'Celestial Dragon Spear' in my hand and carefully pondered the mysteries in it, but I didn't make any new discoveries.

Suddenly, my head started to hurt, and maybe the puzzle in front of me had to be solved.

My head started to ache violently again. It felt like there was a force pulling me out of this plane.

"Focus, kid, don't be distracted while playing chess!"

The voice was repeated again and again in my head.

When I opened my eyes, it was the same table-style chessboard again.

By the bright light, I saw a middle-aged man sitting across from me, with a serious expression that didn't seem to smile, wearing a striped shirt and a mechanical watch in his right hand. It's so familiar and so strange.

"Kid, what are you thinking, remember that all you have in mind is the game right now." The man's voice was deep and powerful.

I looked at everything in front of me, the scene did not change in the slightest, everything was still the same as at that time, what did the 'Shu' necklace on the man's head and neck in front of me mean, no matter what I thought, it was useless. There is so little information in front of you that you can't explain the many puzzles in front of you.

What the hell is going on, sure enough, this middle-aged man and this strange array must be inextricably linked

"Good." The man began to sort out the chessboard, "Although I was a little anxious at the beginning, I was very good at this hand, and then I played more and more calmly. ”

I watched him move the pieces quickly.

"Sure enough, three-and-a-half, you won. By the way, how many games have you won since you learned? ”

I didn't speak. I just feel that all of this is so familiar, and it makes people feel very warm. It's a warm feeling, like a fire in winter. It's not just the cold winter of the night that illuminates it, it's our hearts and minds for each other.

"Remember children, life is like chess, and strategizing can win a thousand miles!"

Seeing that the chess game was about to end, but this time I still didn't have the slightest clue, just when I was confused, suddenly the fire in front of me reminded me that I had returned to reality.

There were no answers, no clues, like a book without words, and I didn't know how to start, and my mind began to get very confused.

In the flickering light and darkness of the fire, my mind began to wander, as if to fly to the end of the vast sky, or the vast ocean. It was as if there was a force guiding me in the right direction, and the 'Celestial Dragon Spear' in my hand was shining beside the fire. I looked at the 'Celestial Dragon Lance', and all the answers were in my hands. Only by unlocking the answer can we find hope.

I believe in never giving up hope.
