Chapter 83: The Eighth Year
The war between the gods and demons has been going on for eight years, and it still shows no signs of ending.
As soon as the war began, the two clans negotiated to fight in the void, but the demon clan was not stupid, and it was obvious that they would not accept it. The rest became a mere contest of strength.
Judging from the comparison of the strength of the two worlds of gods and demons, the god realm is obviously superior. The demon clan relied on the four continents to sink as a bargaining chip, so that the god realm did not dare to conduct a large-scale war, so as to control the war within a controllable range.
The divine realm intends to end, but the demon clan has been delaying. But both sides understand that the war has already begun, so it is inevitable that there will be a winner. So both tribes must have been prepared.
Now there is no indication of when the war will end, but Gu Weiqing can guess that when the preparations of the two clans are completed, it may take dozens of days! The war would end in an unexpected end.
Gu Weiqing thought about the outcome of the war and deduced the situation. But there are only two results, the victory of the divine realm, and the sinking of the four continents.
The land sinking of the four continents is something that neither of the two races wants to see, so the only thing left is the victory of the God Realm. As for how to win, there must be compromises and sacrifices.
Of course, these are just the information that Gu Weiqing transmitted through Sun Wukong. Before Princess Iron Fan "died", Sun Wukong sent a message once a month, and now it is irregular, maybe three months, maybe half a year, maybe a year.
The last time he sent a message was eight months ago, and the last time he sent a message was ten days ago, Gu Weiqing felt that he should wait at least five months according to the law, but today he received another letter, the content was that the Bull Demon King was captured by the God Realm in a battle, and asked Gu Weiqing to find a way to see if he could save him.
Save the Bull Demon King? How to save? Everyone knows nothing about the intelligence of the divine realm, and there is no internal response like Sun Wukong, this is not to save the Iron Fan Princess, at least I know where she is locked up that time, but now there is no information at all. Gu Weiqing couldn't think of a way to save the Bull Demon King at all.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Gu Weiqing decided to think about replying to the letter one day. At this moment, Qingxia's crisp voice came in: "Weiqing, it's time to eat." ”
"Oh, here we go!"
The last time they stayed in their hometown for a few days, they continued their journey, and in a few years, they walked through the north and south of the great river in Nanzhan Buzhou, and came to a small lake to settle down. Deep in the jungle, the people relied on fairy power to carve out a field, grow food, and live a secluded life.
Walking out of the cabin, I saw Tang Seng, Zixia Qingxia, and Princess Iron Fan already sitting in the pavilion and eating, without waiting for herself. Gu Weiqing smiled, just wanted to complain a few words, but suddenly thought of something, and then the whole person became solemn.
He walked to the pavilion, sat down as if nothing had happened, and began to talk and eat. Gu Weiqing didn't have any problems on the surface, but the sensitive Qingxia still sensed something, and asked, "Weiqing, what's wrong?" ”
Gu Weiqing thought for a while and said: "I received a message from Sun Wukong today, the Bull Demon King was captured by the Divine Realm in a war, and his life and death are uncertain, but relying on his identity, he should not be killed by the Divine Realm." ”
Hearing this, Tang Seng didn't feel it, it was none of his business. Zixia Qingxia didn't feel much, the Bull Demon King and they hadn't seen any of them until now, the biggest relationship was just Niu Xiangxiang's brother, and the distance was a little far. And only the princess of the iron fan is extremely worried.
The news was disappointing, and everyone ended their lunch in a strange atmosphere. Gu Weiqing returned to the study after eating, Zixia Qingxia followed in, they looked at Gu Weiqing worriedly, and said, "Weiqing, does Sun Wukong's letter want you to save the Bull Demon King." ”
"No, he's just seeing if I can figure out a way, and even if I did, I wouldn't take the risk."
Zixia said, "That's good, that's good." ”
Hearing Gu Weiqing's answer, Zixia Qingxia let go of her apprehension, and then walked out of the door, ready to clean up the dishes. After the two of them left, Gu Weiqing waited quietly, and sure enough, after a while, Princess Iron Fan walked in. She said directly, "I'm leaving." ”
"I see, but are you sure?"
"I'm not sure, I'm going to give it a try."
Gu Weiqing opened his mouth and said, "Then let me help you analyze it!" As a demon saint in the demon world, although his strength is not as good as that of the ten saints, but under the ten saints, he is a top-notch existence. So his value can be said to be very great.
But war is cruel and politics is ruthless. Even if you are the daughter of the seventeenth generation doppelganger of Yuan Shi Tianzun, you can't save him, and you can't let him be completely free. Although there is no way to be completely free, it will be possible to be relatively free, that is, you go and persuade the Bull Demon King to surrender. Relying on my understanding of the Bull Demon King, unless the demon clan really fails, according to the temperament of the Bull Demon King, he will not surrender.
So there is only one last way left in front of you, and that is to ensure the safety of the Bull Demon King. You can ask Yuan Shi Tianzun to intercede and let him live a better life. When the war is over, and you are pleading with the Divine Realm to let him go, it will be easy at that time. ”
Princess Iron Fan thought for a while, then said, "Then what fate will he have if I don't go?" ”
Gu Weiqing blurted out directly: "It's been so long since the war started, and the gods and demons have no habit of killing prisoners. If you don't go, his life won't be in danger. It's just that their freedom is restricted. Of course, in the end, if the demon clan completely fails, he will become the mount of some immortal. ”
Princess Iron Fan spoke: "He helped me last time when I was in the Demon Clan, and this time it's time for me to help him." However, if I go to the divine realm, how can I explain the news of my resurrection from the dead? ”
"The best answer is that you were rescued by the Bull Demon King."
Princess Iron Fan pondered for a while, then said, "Okay, just do as you say." ”
After this conversation, the audience fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment. After getting along for such a long time, Gu Weiqing knew that Princess Tiefan liked him a little, but she also understood that Gu Weiqing already had a lover. It was time to leave, and she didn't know what to say.
The awkward atmosphere was a little uncomfortable, and Gu Weiqing opened his mouth to break the silence: "When are you going to leave?" ”
Set off this afternoon: "Then take care!" ”
"Got it."
Princess Iron Fan was silent for a while, then asked, "When you rescued me, you said that you couldn't let me see anyone, why are you letting me go now?" ”
"It was then, and now it is now!"
That's true, Gu Weiqing was afraid that she would expose the secret of reshaping her body and connecting with him, but now that she has the perfect candidate for the Bull Demon King, she can say it frankly. Reshaping the body is related to Gu Weiqing, and now only Princess Iron Fan, Gu Weiqing, Zixia Qingxia, and Tang Seng know. No one else knows.
If the divine realm knew that the reshaping of the flesh had something to do with him, then it would most likely affect the final plan. So at that time, the Iron Fan Princess couldn't be let go anyway.
And if the Iron Fan Princess goes out, then the "Iron Fan Princess" who committed suicide, that physical body must be related to the reshaping of the flesh Dao technique. And the one who rescued her became the Bull Demon King, so the divine realm would not connect the reshaping of the body with Gu Weiqing at all, and it would not affect the final plan in the slightest.
The Iron Fan Princess spoke, "Oh, let me ask you one more question, if I leave, will I ever see you again?" ”
"When you leave, we're going to move out of here and somewhere else?"
"Can you tell me where you're going?"
"I don't know!" Gu Weiqing said.
Princess Tiefan knew that Gu Weiqing and his party had secrets, and everyone had a Dao technique to shield their perceptions. has also been hiding, but she doesn't know what Gu Weiqing and the others are hiding.
She asked her long-standing curiosity: "What have you been hiding?" You know I'm not going to betray you, so why can't I stay here and I can come back to see you? ”
Gu Weiqing said with a smile: "I'm hiding from the pursuit of the entire God Realm, if the first priority of the God Realm now is to win the war, then the second is to catch me, I myself trust you, I know that you will definitely not betray us, but if someone searches your memory, it will cause serious consequences, sorry." ”
After hearing this, Princess Iron Fan was extremely surprised, and she didn't know what Gu Weiqing had done, causing the entire God Realm to hunt down. But she didn't ask, since Gu Weiqing was unwilling to answer, then she didn't ask anymore.
The sunset is reflected on the lake, sparkling, the willow trees are swaying beside the lake, fluttering with the wind, and the princess of the iron is dressed in green clothes, standing on the lakeside. Look at the surrounding scenery, the familiar wooden houses, the familiar pavilions, and the boats on the lake.
For a while, she was reluctant, and this place carried her best memories, as well as those beautiful people. She stopped, looked at Gu Weiqing opposite, and slowly said, "Help me say goodbye to Zixia Qingxia Tang Seng and the others, I won't go to see them." ”
"Okay."
There was a gust of wind hanging in the forest, and Princess Iron Fan's green clothes were fluttering in the wind, and she once asked the same thing, but her expression was expectant: "Can we meet again?" ”
Princess Iron Fan is going to face a cold father and an unknown future, Gu Weiqing wanted to deceive this poor woman, but he still didn't deceive her, because the last time he deceived Princess Iron Fan, which led to serious consequences, this time he was not ready to deceive: "We shouldn't have a chance to meet again." ”
The answer is still the same, Princess Tieshan's expression was sad, as if she couldn't help crying at any time, Gu Weiqing saw this scene, stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently: "Have a good trip." ”
Tears were already in the eyes of Princess Iron Fan, and there was a choked voice in her voice: "Can you give me a hug?" ”
Gu Weiqing replied with action, he opened his arms, and the princess of the iron fan threw herself into his arms and hugged Gu Weiqing tightly. He could feel that the tears had soaked his chest, but all Gu Weiqing could do was pat her shoulder.
The picture seems to freeze here, the lake is sparkling, the willow branches are fluttering in the wind, and a man and a woman are hugging each other in the sunset. After a long time, the Iron Fan Princess broke away, and her face was long gone.
She suddenly laughed, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she smiled very heartily: "Haha, how is it, did I pass the acting skills just now, don't say more, goodbye!" ”
......
The figure of the princess of the iron fan has long disappeared, Gu Weiqing stood in the pavilion and enjoyed the scenery of the lake, the tears in his chest had long since disappeared, leaving a faint salt stain. Gu Weiqing patted it, and the white particles dissipated in the wind, just like tears dissipated in the rain.
I've heard people say that when you can't have anymore, the only thing you can do is to let him not forget. She did it, Gu Weiqing still remembers that Princess Tiefan was standing under the willow tree, saying stubborn words in her mouth, with a bright smile on her face, but the red eyes made people unable to let go for a long time.
