23. The figure holding the demon knife

In the lobby, the Queen Mother paid a daily visit and brought a lot of ingredients to warm and replenish the body, as for the soothing incense, she didn't bring a single one, although there were still a lot of "abortion incense" back then, but it seems that there is no use.

After retiring from everyone, the Queen Mother asked in a low voice: "What my uncle said last year about giving up the two Xiongguan in Yanzhou and Hangu, and letting the dog Rong enter the Central Plains, does this still count?"

Xia Guang thought about it, according to the previous plan, it was time to switch at the end of summer, and then the weather gradually cooled down, and when it was cold, even the dog Rong would not rush to send troops.

It's just that the plan to feed Changle Mansion has been canceled, and there is naturally no need to send troops.

Xia Yuxue naturally has her own plans.

Therefore, King Shenwu said: "Go and tell the Son of Heaven to stop worrying, the situation has changed, and there is no need to open the level." ”

The Queen Mother said again: "That... The Dog Rong Ghost Fang sent a messenger, saying that he wanted to marry my Great Zhou. What do you think of this, uncle, this messenger, do we see it or not?"

"Marriage?"

The Queen Mother explained: "The land in the West is barren, there is very little land that can be lived, planted, and lived, and the strange existence has further narrowed the scope of their existence, so they are tempting to send people to marry."

The mourning family thought that they hoped to be able to provide support from my Great Zhou, after all, the Central Plains was fertile. ”

"Then, we are going to send a princess to marry?"

Xia Guang said in a tone of "are they stupid".

The Queen Mother muttered: "No, they are going to marry a princess..."

There was a sudden silence on both sides.

To be honest, Xia Guang has never seen what the people of the dog Rong Ghost Fang look like.

But since they are not ready to move the army, it is okay to send an envoy to meet them.

"What is the opinion of the Son of Heaven?"

"Zheng'er... Hope to meet them. ”

"See you then. ”

"Well, uncle said see you, then see you. ”

The Queen Mother nagged for a while, dragged Su Daji into the room, and went to talk about her daughter's house, the princess seemed to find it very interesting, she liked to talk to people.

As a result, only Xia Guang was left in this lobby.

A week later, Xia Guang entered the sea of knowledge again, and this time, he felt that his fatigue had recovered a lot.

To put it simply, to open the door to the sea, you need to break through the barrier as a human being.

And to enter the sea of knowledge, it will take a hundred years to pass its test.

In the sea of knowledge, there is a time gap.

Now that a week has passed, King Shenwu has naturally regained his energy.

This time, he jumped into the pure white ocean formed by countless thoughts, and dived towards the deep sea trench.

I don't know how long it took, he carefully controlled his body, landed on a huge rock under the sea that shimmered with pure white glitter, and stood on the edge of the cliff protruding in front of the ravine, overlooking.

Xia Guang's eyes condensed slightly.

In the ravine, which is like an abyss of faults, it should have been dense golden foam, transparent foam...

But this spectacular scene is gone, and only three lonely transparent bubbles are left, floating up and down.

"This is..."

Although King Shenwu was strange, he did not panic, he jumped directly off the cliff at the bottom of the sea and swam towards the abyss fault.

Countless pure white thoughts turned into faint fish shapes and passed by his side.

Xia Guang first tried a nearby transparent foam.

He prepared himself to be bombarded and retreated, his fingers spread, carefully touching the edge of the foam.

The huge bombardment did not come.

The transparent bubble seemed to admit his existence.

Xia Guang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at the picture floating in the bubble, and the perspective was from the sky.

Moonlight.

Wild woods.

Xia Zhi was carrying a young child with the same appearance as himself, and he was running wildly, flying on the grass with both feet, it seems that the imperial brother's exercises here are not weak.

The wind is strong in the grass, the grass is not knee-like, the moonlight is like ripples, the wind blows, if a wave of golden floating light passes by in an instant.

It also reflected the thirteen black-clothed men who were chasing after the two of them, with a pitch-black hat with silver edges, and the knives were cold light, and each knife carried a murderous aura.

The young boy suddenly spoke: "Brother Huang, let me down... If you carry me on your back, no one will be able to escape. ”

"Shut up!"

Xia Zhi's voice was cold, "I am the only one left in Da Zhou, and my martial arts have long been finalized, and the realm that I can reach in this life is destined to be unable to turn the tide." But you're different, you... Carrying the hope of the future. ”

"However, those monsters are getting closer and closer, and even if I get away with it, with their power, it will be easy to find me, I... It is impossible to reach that state.

I... It is impossible for a coward like me to revive the Great Zhou. ”

"Hey... It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. Today, I Xia Zhi can die, but you can't, there is a cliff in front of you, it's really not good, I'll jump down with you, not that there are often adventures at the bottom of the cliff, today my brothers will try. At best, I'll live or die.

Person... It's all forced, you're more talented than your brother, if you don't try, how do you know?

If you don't put everything on you, how do you know if you will win?"

"But these monsters are too powerful, the dark guards of the Great Zhou are not their opponents, the father, and the generals of the military, all of them died in battle... It's just the two of us, what else can we do?

I can't...

Brother Huang, you leave me, go incognito, marry a sister-in-law, and live a life. ”

The toddler apparently did not have any confidence.

It's when you speak.

The two of them stumbled suddenly, Xia Zhi's whole eyebrows showed an extremely painful look, the whole person rushed forward, rolled on the ground twice, endured the pain, and was a hand of luck, supporting the young child who fell from the sky.

"Brother Huang, what's wrong?"

The toddler asked.

However, there was no need to answer, he saw the finger-length needles inserted in the long grass, the tips of the needles were like wheat, flashing with a terrifying light, and the imperial brother had already inserted many such needles, and even the small half of his body had become a hedgehog.

The long needle entered the flesh, and the pain was unimaginable, even Xia Zhi couldn't help but wail in pain, and then gritted his teeth and looked back, although there was also strong grass behind him, but the needle light was gone, thinking that this area was ambushed.

Thirteen black-clothed people had already caught up, surrounded by a half-moon, and without saying much, the sword light came directly, and those knives were not messy, but orderly, forming a net-like array.

Xia Zhi did not hesitate in his eyes, and directly took out a scarlet pill with many cracks on the surface from his arms, threw it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it.

The young child only heard a deathly roar, and the skin of the imperial brother in front of him became fiery red, and the skin was torn apart inch by inch, but the needles that pierced into the body were also forced out.

"Natsuji, what did you eat!?"

The toddler asked hurriedly.

But Xia Zhi didn't reply anymore, he threw the young boy to the area behind him without long needles, and the whole person headed towards the knife formation of the thirteen black-clothed people.

For a moment, the sword light blended with the fiery red shadow.

Corpses were thrown out of the chaotic battle.

When the curtain ended, it was Xia Zhi who pinched the neck of the last man in black and pinched it without hesitation.

Click...

The Adam's apple shattered, and the body was thrown away.

Xia Zhi gasped for breath, and his body was rapidly returning to normal skin color, but the skin was shattered, but there was no sign of stitching, as if someone had inflicted Ling Chi.

All the flesh hung on him, and it seemed that if someone moved it slightly, it would all be scattered.

"Da Zhou, Da Zhou, Da Zhou!"

Natsuji roared three times, as if these two words had unimaginable magic, and soon gave him strength again, causing him to stand up, and then walked up to the young child, took out a thin booklet stained with blood from his arms, and threw it on the ground.

The booklet reads "Eight Desolations" is a word.

He was speechless, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and held out two words: "Da Zhou." ”

He quietly looked at this pampered younger brother, who was extremely talented, and spat out these two words.

He hopes that the child in front of him can understand, even if he doesn't understand it now, he will be able to understand it later.

The toddler was already crying.

Suddenly, a red line appeared between Xia Zhi's neck.

Blood gushed and splattered on the child's face, staining his hair red and his crying stopped.

An incomprehensible and complicated emotion surged into my heart.

His eyes suddenly filled with hatred, and he raised his head and looked at the long figure standing behind the headless imperial brother with the moonlight on his back.

The figure is lonely and indifferent, but the knife in his hand is like a strange black snake with a long tail, full of demonic energy.

The young boy suddenly picked up the exercises of the "Eight Desolations" on the ground, turned around and ran.

He thought back to what Natsuji had said.

"It is up to man to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen.

Person... It's all forced, you're more talented than your brother, if you don't try, how do you know?

If you don't put everything on you, how do you know if you will win?"

Although this assassin is powerful, but he doesn't try his best to escape, how do you know if you can escape?

However, the long figure holding the demon knife did not catch up, but just silently looked at the back of the young child, not knowing what to think.
