Chapter 51: Conviction

Xun Qi and Zou Hesong rode horses all night, and Zou Hesong was already a little tired, so she proposed to dismount and walk to take a break.

And after a night of coldness, Zou Hesong began to become silent, as if he had something on his mind. He stopped, and his horse stopped moving.

Xun Qi noticed that his state was a little different, so he smiled lightly and said, "If you are tired, sit down and rest." ”

Zou Hesong pursed his lips, his eyebrows tightened, and he took a breath, but still didn't speak.

"If you want to say something, don't care, just say it. Xun Qi faintly felt uneasy, but still gently persuaded him.

Zou He Song said: "You and I were impulsive last night. If we leave, the emperor will definitely condemn Wu Xianguo and the General's Mansion. Your countrymen, my family, will be greatly implicated and even wiped out because of our impulsiveness. ”

Xun Qi grabbed his hand: "So what? I don't care! As long as I can be with you, I'll be satisfied." ”

He swept her hand away and turned sideways: "How can this be child's play! If you run away, the emperor will inevitably blame Wu Xianguo, and it may even cause a war between the two countries." And if I take you away, the emperor will inevitably condemn the general's mansion. As a major general, I cannot pacify the frontiers and share the sorrows of the saints, but instead provoke wars and turmoil, causing the saints to suffer internal and external troubles, and deserve death. ”

Xun Qi walked around to him and gently held his face: "Can't you live for yourself once?"

Zou Hesong shook his head: "I am a soldier, I should first shed my blood for the country, this is the glory of being a warrior." ”

He suddenly felt a kind of letting go of the clouds, held the hand of Xun Qi, and his smile softened: "You are the county lord of Wuxian, even if you have no intention of the emperor, you can be friendly, but you can make Wuxian country get the emperor's protection, and the two countries will always enjoy peace." This is also your duty. We all have our own bodies that we can't help ourselves, and we also have great things that we have to accomplish. ”

Duty: When he was a fairy, because of his own selfish desires, he accidentally let the real lord of the county die in the mouth of the poisonous snake. Duty is such a thing, she has already lost it once. To live as the lord of the county, can't he get rid of the word duty?

Why can't we live freely according to our heart's desires?

"Then go back. Xun Qi withdrew his hand, and his heart was as depressed as the sun. She turned her back, and the world was lonely, except for the rustle of the wind caressing the leaves.

Zou Hesong made great determination, he gently touched the mane on the head of the war horse and said, "We haven't gone too far, it's still too late to go back." It has accompanied me on the battlefield for five years, and I will leave it to you. ”

Looking for a strange and white horse, he stayed where he was in place in silence, and parted ways with Zou Hesong without a word.

"You can't go back. Strange muttered alone. When she came, in order to prevent someone from following her, she secretly performed a spell and walked towards the most chaotic and intoxicated place. With his own mortal strength, it is impossible for him to find his way back.

"When you think it more clearly, I'll take you out of the way. ”

Xun Qi led the horse and walked back.

"What he just said to you is what I want to say to you. Yuanjia's voice appeared from above. The silver light appeared in the air, and the elegant and outstanding demeanor of heaven and man made people dare not look directly.

Xun Qi knelt down: "Meet the Immortal Venerable." ”

Yuan Jia fixed himself above her, and said: "No matter if you are an immortal or a person, the more you are in an important position, the more you can't give up your duties. The same is true of this seat. ”

"Looking for a strange person is far less than Xianzun to live for a long time, and I don't have the ability to reach the sky, I have always guarded those mortals, but no one has come to guard me. I don't want to be this immortal that everyone admires, I just want to be a mortal who can do anything in his life!" Yuan Jia meant, she was planning to disobey to the end.

Yuan Jia showed compassion: "Looking for a strange thing, I have been a thousand-year-old guiding immortal, and I have surrounded myself." He is free, but you are in the mud. Karma and karma, your dereliction of duty caused the death of the lord of Wuxian, and it is about to cause internal and external troubles in the Jing Dynasty, and in the end, you will have to pay back. Stop here, go back and turn the tide, this seat can still help you retain the immortal level. ”

Xun was silent, stunned in place.

Ning Huchen found Zou Hesong's breath, and looked at the lower realm, he walked alone in the deep mountains and entered a miasma forest. At this time, he was the only one, and it was easier to get rid of him.

Ning Huchen hid his figure and returned to the ground to follow behind Zou Hesong.

The miasma here grows deeper into the forest. Moreover, this miasma also has hallucinogenic toxicity, if you inhale too much, you can see hallucinations, and people will gradually weaken their limbs, and finally they will faint here, and their bodies will be eaten by wild beasts. And Zou Hesong, who is young and healthy, naturally can't detect the power of this miasma.

The terrain here is also extremely complex, and if you don't have people who have been groping and walking here all year round, you can't walk out of this forest. Zou Hesong went around and became more and more fascinated.

He looked around him, as if he had returned to the day when he first met him. Gradually, the scenery in front of me became exactly the same as what I saw that day. There was an inexplicable team behind him, and it was the one who went into the mountains with him that day.

One of them fell in agony, and the next moment he was leaning into his arms.

Yes, that day he was injured by the Emperor's Red Scorpion and almost died.

Zou Hesong looked around, and sure enough, he saw a woman in green clothes, holding a red herb in her hand, running towards him excitedly. She ran to herself, hurriedly plucked a cluster of herbs and stuffed it into the mouth of the wounded, fed the rest into her own mouth, chewed it and dressed the wounded man.

As soon as he wanted to ask her again, two young women who looked like maids came over, and when they saw that Xun Qi was with him, their faces were quite anxious, and they urged her to go over.

Xun Qi seemed to be very careful, and without saying a word to Zou Hesong, he was taken away by them. Before leaving, look back at him.

Zou and Song didn't want to be separated from her anymore, so they abandoned the wounded and the team in their arms, and rushed up to keep her. He grabbed her hand, and the search suddenly vanished. Not only her, but also her maids, his team, were all gone.

The scenery of the mountains and forests faded, and in a blink of an eye, it was replaced by a red and fiery image, which was festive and extraordinary. It was a girl who got married from the inn and went to the palace. Jing Yu lifted her hijab, and the face was exactly the same as that of Xunqi. She was in tears and was slowly pushed by Jing Yu.

The green tendons at the end of Zou Hesong's eyebrows burst out, and he wanted to rush forward and push Jing Yu away. As soon as I met him, everything turned to ashes and disappeared.

Ning Huchen saw that he was behaving abnormally, and he was talking nonsense, so he knew that he had inhaled too much miasma and saw the illusion.

The mountain fog is miserable, Zou Hesong can't see the road clearly, and he can't tell the truth from the fake. Suddenly, a woman with a faint white light appeared in front of him, smiling peacefully.

"Looking for something!" Zou and Song were happy to see, and they wanted to meet in the past. But Xunqi didn't want him to approach, and always kept a distance from him, walking in front of him. Like, deliberately take him somewhere.

When Ning Huchen saw her, he was also a little surprised. But she didn't feel that the woman in front of her was carrying half a cent of immortal energy, and after thinking about it, looking at Zou and Song Fangcai's reactions, she also saw Xun Qi, everyone thought differently in their hearts, and it was impossible for two people to see the same illusion. In this way, this time the "search for the strange" is not the fairy, nor is it an illusion.

That "seeker" couldn't see herself, indicating that Ning Huchen's stealth technique had not been recognized, and her mana was naturally inferior to hers. She followed, and as soon as she got closer, she smelled the breath of the mountain ghost on the body of "Xun Qian". It turned out that many people had died in this forest, and the souls of the dead could not get out, so they condensed into a strong resentment, which could confuse people's minds and turn into things that the hearts of the living who entered.

Zou Hesong followed the fake search, and Ning Huchen followed Zou Hesong, wanting to find a suitable time to start. The demonic qi turned into a sword qi in her palm, and it only took a moment to pierce into Zou Hesong's body, causing him to die without pain.

"Looking for a strange thing, I'm going to take you to the end of the world, and I shouldn't have left you behind. Let's go...... Let's go together......"

Zou Hesong suddenly spoke, Ning Huchen stopped, and the sword qi in his hand also dissipated at the same time. She was waiting for, why not such a sentence. It was obviously a promise he made first, why did he turn his head and leave it all gone, leaving her alone and never returning.

Zou Hesong was taken to the edge of the forest by a false search, which was a hundred-foot cliff.

The woman walked in the air, looking back and smiling. She didn't speak, only slowly beckoned to Zou Hesong.

"I'm coming. Zou Hesong smiled and strode forward desperately.

Ning Huchen came to his senses, and the fake search disappeared. Zou Hesong exclaimed, swallowed by the bottomless abyss.

The movement here startled Yuanjia and Xunqi, who were speechless.

"It's her. ”

"It's him!"

The two of them disappeared together in a flash, and they went to the bottom of the cliff, while Yuan Jia stayed on the cliff, blocking Ning Huchen's way.

Ning Huchen half-covered his face with his hands and coughed: "Yuanjia Immortal Venerable intends to avenge this mortal who was pushed off the cliff by my own hands?"

Yuan Jia bent and held a string of transparent crystal prayer beads in one hand, and the other hand was behind him, with a tall and majestic figure, it seemed to be blasphemy to look at it more. His eyes were as calm as a mirror: "I know it's not you." ”

When Ning Huchen heard this, he raised his eyes and looked deeply: "Do you believe me?"

Yuan Jia's expression was as high as the clouds in the sky: "Except for Zou Jing, you haven't hurt anyone else." ”

A trace of strangeness rippled in Ning Huchen's heart, as if a slight crack appeared in the incomparably hard ice mass.

"Witch, I'm inseparable from you!" the green smoke flickered, and Xun Qi appeared holding a corpse with blurred flesh and broken bones like flesh and mud. Her plain green clothes and face were stained with blood, and a bloody wind was set off in her clear eyes: "I want to avenge him!"

Xun Qi put down Zou Hesong's corpse and had an extra long sword in his hand. She flew up, but Yuan Jia pulled her by magic: "Don't be deceived by appearances, it's not her at this time." ”

The killing intent reddened Xunqi's eyes, and she turned back angrily: "Immortal Venerable, you actually protect a witch!"

"Before this seat, you will not be allowed to act recklessly. Yuan Jia flicked his sleeves lightly, and then pulled Xun Qi back to his side: "The miasma here is unusual, how can a mortal resist the poison that has accumulated for thousands of years? ”

Yuan Jia glanced at Ning Huchen lightly, and then left here with Xun Qi.

It turned out that he was always aware of his every move.
