29: The Flame of the Sword Furnace Rises

Chen Longshi stood up and walked over, and Zhi Jiang greeted him with food, and said, "Sir, is Zhi Jiang disturbing your practice?" ”

Chen Longshi smiled: "I smelled the food from afar and couldn't wait to stop." How can I bother His Highness to bring me food personally? You see, you must be very tired when you come running over before the ash smoke on your face has not been washed. ”

After that, she couldn't help but refute, and reached out to help her wipe the black smoke from her face.

The girl's face was delicate and watery, and she couldn't help but rub it a few more times. Zhi Jiang suddenly blushed, and there was uncontrollable shame on his face, but he didn't dodge, and said vaguely: "Zhi Jiang just wants to thank Mr. alone." ”

"How do you thank me?

Just one meal of food will send me away? ”

"Ah......h

Zhijiang was stunned, she didn't expect this kind of answer, and she was stunned for a while. "I ...... Sir's great kindness, our entire town is unforgettable. Also willing to give everything to the sir, but don't know what the sir needs? ”

But she didn't wait for Chen Longshi's answer, as soon as she raised her head to meet Chen Longshi's deep eyes, she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding. This feeling has never been felt in the eighteen years she has lived.

Chen Longshi stepped forward, and there was only a fist between him and Zhi Jiang. Zhijiang couldn't help but kick back a few steps, and Chen Longshi stepped forward again. Zhijiang had no way to retreat, his back was already against the city wall, and he was about to flee......

"Smack~" A big hand propped up the side of her head, imprisoning her in the middle.

Zhi Jiang didn't dare to look him directly into his eyes, so he became an ostrich, instinctively closed his eyes, grabbed the corners of his clothes with both hands and kneaded them fiercely, and even his breathing was disordered.

She felt that the breath she exhaled and the breath exhaled by Chen Longshi were close at hand, and the breaths of both sides had been completely mixed, making her little head dazed. At this moment, how can the girl still stand tall on the tower of the city, fighting tens of thousands of monsters with one person and one arrow. She imagined countless images in her mind, and even pouted strangely. But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't see Chen Longshi move.

She opened her eyes suspiciously, facing Chen Longshi's teasing eyes, and suddenly came to her senses, and couldn't help but beat him on the chest in disgust, and said coquettishly: "Sir...... Mr. made fun of Zhijiang,...... This is the chicken soup stewed by Zhijiang herself, treat our hero. ”

handed the food box to Chen Longshi, turned around and escaped from the wall.

It wasn't until she thought she was safe a few meters away that she stopped, feeling a little lost.

Hero?

Chen Longshi couldn't help laughing, it turned out that his prestige had reached this level. From Zhi Jiang's eyes, he read trust and worship. Everything he has done since he entered the city alone has had a profound impact, and the miracles he has continued to perform over the years, are far more convincing than any rhetoric.

In addition, there may be a restless heart of a girl who has been provoked.

Thinking of this girl's next fate, he suppressed his thoughts again, felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "I will accept the chicken soup, how is the progress of Ou Shenjiang's sword casting?" ”

Zhi Jiang said: "I've been busy with the aftermath, and I haven't gone to see Brother Ou yet." ”

"How about we go and see together? I'll eat as I go, don't you mind. ”

Zhijiang calmed down and shook her head gently.

When he came to the sword furnace, he found that Ou Lian's situation was very bad, not to mention the bloody atmosphere in the room, his whole person was groggy, and he even struggled to fight, and he almost wanted to fall into a coma. This can scare Chen Longshi, if something happens to him, it will undoubtedly be a great disaster for the entire secret realm clearance.

"Brother Ou, how could you be like this? Did a youkai steal into the city? ”

Chen Longshi calmed down and took a closer look and said, "Pale face, dizziness, and weakness in the limbs are signs of excessive blood loss. As soon as he lifted his sleeve, he suddenly found a scar that had just been medicated.

When Zhi Jiang saw the scars, he immediately thought of something, "Brother Ou, did you use your own blood to sacrifice the sword furnace?" How can you do that? ”

"Sacrificial Sword Furnace?"

Chen Longshi was stunned, and after reacting, he couldn't help but be speechless.

Ou Lian said weakly: "It's worried everyone." If you can't forge the Divine Sword all the time, and the only way waiting for Zhenwang City is to perish, I can't help but secretly try the Blood Sacrifice Casting Sword, and the results prove ...... Ahem......"

Without saying a word, he coughed, "It turns out that the mage of sacrificial smelting is indeed effective. Unfortunately, I bled too much and couldn't smelt the stone completely. ”

Chen Longshi said: "Casting a sword needs to wait for heaven and earth, and the second chooses the time. Looking at the situation tonight, it is a day when the moon shines brightly. But if you want to forge a divine weapon that defeats the sword of the King of Chu, I am afraid that the only way to do it is to sacrifice a powerful spirit that can compete with a city. That little bit of blood on your body...... Hey......"

After saying this, he glanced at Zhijiang, turned around abruptly and walked out.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little nauseous.

Zhijiang was stunned, this was obvious enough, even if she was sluggish at this moment, she should understand that it was no one else who needed to be sacrificed, it was her. Or rather, what is needed is the spirit of the nine-headed bird in her body.

The spirit of the nine-headed bird is the bird of the former Chu country, and it is a divine beast of luck in a country.

Since the day she was born, the spirit of the nine-headed bird has been sealed in her body and has grown up with her. When she is lonely, help her be happy; When it is difficult, help her solve problems; Fight with her when you're in danger. Others may not know, but she knows very well that the spirit of the nine-headed bird is not a dead thing without thoughts, but her closest companion, even her mother.

At this moment, she was a little confused, even if she had long been ready to dedicate herself to Zhenwang City, but when it came to the end, she was still a girl who was less than twenty-nine years old, and she didn't know how to face the spirit of the nine-headed bird.

……

Chen Longshi walked out of the room and took a deep breath.

From the very beginning, he has been researching everything about the secret realm of the sword shrine, and he is also analyzing the difference between the copy in his memory and the secret realm in reality.

It can be said that the secret realm in the real world and the game copy he experienced are two completely different things. His addition made the whole plot appear in a completely different direction from the beginning. This also seems to confirm a conjecture that the secret realm and the dungeon are just with the help of the same background, giving all trialists a mission world to pass through.

In this world, trials are the essence, and the plot is only an auxiliary.

Because of this, Chen Longshi encountered many characters and branches that did not exist in the original copy, and he interacted with the people here and subconsciously guided him, and he did not feel disobedient at all.

But for Chen Longshi, only by finding the unchanging main line between the two can he find an opportunity to defeat the king of Chu. Then he sadly found that although the direction of the plot is different, some local things may change, but the theme of the plot, some important elements that cannot be changed, will not change.

This is like how history changes, no matter what kind of people create it, it is impossible to change the pace of social development and progress. This is the case in the Sword Shrine Secret Realm. No matter how drastically the plot and characters have changed with the addition of Chen Longshi, some core elements will not change.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

It's a pity that in the Sword Shrine Secret Realm, Chen Longshi is just a passerby after all.

He didn't know if this place would still exist after he left, or if the Secret Realm of Trials would still be the same as before. It seems so real, everyone here is alive and blood, with thoughts and souls, fighting with blood and blood, and will sacrifice and sacrifice for their comrades.

It feels like a group of real people, not NPCs that spawn over and over again.

If it's an illusion, it's too real.

If this is reincarnation, after reincarnation once, will the next Zhijiang you see still be her?

He knew that this was the most dangerous "lost" in the secret realm of trials, and once he was addicted to it and couldn't distinguish between truth and falsehood, what awaited him would be failure or even life and death. But now that I'm involved, whatever I do will have a profound impact on the world.

Especially in the face of Zhijiang, her fate is already doomed......

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Zhijiang walked over slowly, "Sir......"

Chen Longshi turned around, regained his composure, and looked at her indifferently. Zhi Jiang didn't feel sorry at all, but smiled sweetly at him and comforted: "I feel that Mr. is very sad, is he sad for Zhi Jiang?" ”

Chen Longshi couldn't stand any longer, and said with a wry smile: "Call me Brother Long." ”

"Dragon...... Brother Long, did you know the ending of Zhijiang? ”

Chen Longshi sighed, "I'm tempted to say I don't know, but since discovering the method of forging swords, the first idea in my mind is only for you to achieve." But this kind of thing is too cruel for a girl who has just turned twenty-nine years old. Before you have seen the world of flowers, you will have to sacrifice yourself with a heavy burden. If it weren't for my arrival, you might still be able to live a very stable life.

Zhijiang, do you blame me? ”

Zhi Jiang looked at the tall figure in front of her in a daze, she couldn't forget the heroic posture of this man guarding the city wall dozens of meters long with only a silver spear yesterday and last night, and the power to rush into the city and kill the third concubine.

Yes, how can you blame him?

The tomb of the king of Chu and the city of the king of Zhen are basically two forces with unequal strength.

One is immortal and immortal, and the other can only be trapped in a corner, and there is never a way out.

It was his arrival that brought a glimmer of hope to the whole city.

"How could I blame Brother Long.

Everyone knows that this kind of dark life is not that Zhenwangcheng is really evenly matched with the tomb of the king of Chu, but because the king of Chu in the tomb of the king of Chu has not been out of trouble for the time being, so he will not move. It is your arrival that will give the people of the city a chance to truly see the light. Zhijiang and the people of the city are very grateful to you......"

"Don't talk about it." Chen Longshi gently covered her lips, "What about yourself?" ”

"What's wrong with me?"

"Sad? Regrets? Complaining? Sad?

Have you ever hated? Why is it happening to me, why is it me and not someone else? ”

Zhi Jiang opened his eyes wide and bright, looked at Chen Longshi fixedly, and said with a sweet smile: "I know that Brother Long is complaining about me, but if Zhi Jiang was born with such a fate, he will never back down, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I am even a little impatient." If there is regret, I am afraid that I will only be unable to witness the tomb of King Chu being bulldozed. ”

Chen Longshi was speechless, he was a selfish person, and he would never be able to understand this kind of Holy Mother in his life. But my heart was extremely uncomfortable.

"Brother Long, Zhijiang has to make a choice tonight. Can you promise Zhijiang one thing? ”

"What's the matter?"

"Promise Zhijiang that you must slash the King of Chu."

“……”

It was night, and the sky was as red as blood, revealing this evil nature inside and out.

The alarm bell on the city wall rang for a long time, and the undead monsters outside attacked again, and the number of monsters that appeared this time was even far greater than yesterday. The other three generals under the throne of Chu, and even the other four concubines were all dispatched.

A large number of undead monsters died completely, so that the tomb of the king of Chu finally realized the crisis, even if the king of Chu could not break the seal, he had already done his best to fight with all his might.

The soldiers approached the city, and the black clouds pressed on the top.

The people in the city were not as panicked as yesterday, and everyone gathered in front of the sword furnace platform. Full of grief, he shouted to the figure on the high platform, crying bitterly.

The sword furnace burst into flames, and the flames rose into the air.
