Chapter 16: The Crow Slayer
When I cross the day where everything has sunk and go to war for eternity, you are my banner.
- The Seventh Bridge Monarch of the Underworld
Changshengjun hugged Chang'an and rose in the air, his clothes brought the sound of the wind, the space changed, and the two of them went from the garden to the palace of eternal life. Changshengjun held Chang'an in his arms, looked at the big bed that he didn't have anything, and then looked at Chang'an who was wet in his arms, his divine power was slightly sloppy, lingering on her, in an instant, her clothes and hair were dry, but her clothes still exuded bursts of yin qi brought out from the lake, Changshengjun decisively put Chang'an on a wide chair, went to find the futon and laid it, and then entered the inner hall to change into clean clothes, and then by the way, he asked his adjutant to go to the Killing Spirit Hall to find the Killing Spirit Hall Auxiliary Officer Yu Painting, of course, he did not tell Ruoqing that looking for Yu Painting was to change clothes for Chang'an-- If Ruoqing sees it, I don't know how that person will make up for it.
By the time Changshengjun changed his clothes and entered the dormitory again, he had already left, while Chang'an was unconscious with his arms on his pillow, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be extremely unstable.
Changshengjun stood beside her, his slender fingers brushed her eyebrows, his eyes were gentle, and after a long time, Changshengjun walked out of the palace gate, turned a corner and entered the study.
Yesterday and Chang'an sat in the bright moon bush all night, and last night he was drunk and lying on the lake boat in the Palace of Eternal Life, he has not entered the study for a day and a night, according to the usual situation, I am afraid that there is more than a stack of cases on his bookcase. As the current person in charge of the underworld, although he is not as diligent as the Heavenly Monarch and the Immortal Monarch Silent Feiluocheng, if the responsibility falls on him, he will also bear the burden responsibly - he has borne the burden of the underworld for a thousand years, and he will continue to bear it until the day when the Immortal Monarch or Qichi-jun returns.
The night passed in a flash.
The blood-colored moonlight slowly faded as the moon ring fell into the polar sky, and after a short period of darkness, the bright moon opened again. The large milky white flower pot emits a ghostly light that illuminates the underworld.
In the quaint study, the candles were extinguished, and in the darkness for a moment, Changshengjun, who was sitting at the desk in the middle of the night, stole a moment of leisure, he closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, and rubbed his somewhat sore wrists.
The light of the bright moon fell into the window little by little, casting some shadows on his face, and in the chaos of light and dark, he seemed to have lost his edge, and at this moment he was different from the usual, rare gloomy and quiet beauty.
However, when this extremely quiet and beautiful person smelled a certain fragrance in the air, his face became strange.
Changshengjun got up, and didn't immediately follow the fragrance, he went to the bedroom first, and when he saw the big bed in his dormitory that was messed up, the corners of his lips couldn't help twitching.
Whether he was the third son of the Lonely Fei family in the past, or now he is the immortal monarch of the underworld, the people around him are all so cultivated that they even sleep in a standard lying flat posture, lying in a coffin with their hands on their abdomen, how have he ever seen a person like Shen Changan who sleeps like a bandit?
Chang'an's figure had long been absent from the bed, and the clothes and Su Hong that were originally on the chair in the corner of the room were gone.
This woman!
Changshengjun smelled the fragrance and walked towards the inner hall helplessly.
Now why did he finally come to his Hall of Eternal Life inexplicably last night, and he also came straight to the garden with a clear goal, to be precise, straight to his Mirror Lake.
Changshengjun followed the fragrance and walked in the Hall of Eternal Life, and the crystal jade wall reflected his shadow, like a dark lotus. He walked through the promenade, walked through the park, and finally stopped at the lake.
There was a row of pear blossom trees planted by the lake, and when the wind passed, a pear blossom rain shook down, and his hair and clothes were dyed a little white.
He stood at the place where he stood at Chang'an Station last night, looking at Chang'an in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, with a smile in his eyes.
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Shen Changan opened a demon wind flower, let it burn a flame at its stamen, and then used the flame that could burn the bluestone...... Grilled fish.
Changshengjun clenched his fist to cover the smile on his lips, but the smile on the corner of his lips couldn't be suppressed.
...... This person actually used the divine fire associated with the divine seal to grill the fish, and it has not been baked into carbon ash, which is also rare.
Chang'an noticed the abnormality, and when he looked up, he saw Changshengjun looking at her, and the fish in her hand, his face was hidden in the shadows, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, Chang'an's subordinates were stunned for a moment, and when he saw Changshengjun stepping up, he walked towards her, Chang'an quickly summoned the Spirit Cutting Bridge, and then jumped up, of course, he didn't forget to take away her grilled fish and the clothes and Su Hong on the side. Changshengjun wanted to chase after him, but in the end he held back.
"What's wrong with you, a little beauty? Seeing you is like a mouse and a cat, running so fast. In the shadows somewhere in the garden, a man's voice came from an elegant and low voice: "Moreover, the little beauty ran away, and you didn't chase it." The voice came into Changshengjun's ears, and Changshengjun actually smiled slightly: "Why should I chase it, let you continue to watch the excitement?" ”
"That's not necessary, recently, your Immortal Dao and Spirit Slaying Dao have been so lively, and this monarch is not short of these two games. As he spoke, a man dressed in red and with a golden moire side walked out of the shadows, with a tall posture and sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was as noble and alienated as Changshengjun. He looked for the wine that Changshengjun had hidden in the palace, and he found the jade cup crooked on the boulder that Changshengjun liked the most, and Changshengjun saw his old friend's smooth movements, and his eyebrows jumped—that person was not even ready to share a point with him.
"Come, tell me, what's the matter with me? Or is it that the concubine Daji of your family chased you to the Crow Slaughter Road, so you simply came to me to hide?"
"What's the problem?"
"Did you know that someone had issued a secret order after your royal decree - to capture that dream ghost?"
"Yes. I have twenty-four extreme heavens in the underworld, and the eighteenth layer of hell occupies eighteen layers, and those monarchs in charge of hell, except for those who have died on the first and second layers, and my sister-in-law's eighteenth-layer criminal division and the seventeenth-layer Jizo king, who obey me? They want to pull me down for more than a day or two. On that day, the Slaying Spirit Monarch was temporarily possessed by a dream ghost, and some people rumored that the dream ghost had devoured the memory of the Slaying Spirit Monarch, and there were fools who wanted to use the memory of the Slaying Spirit Monarch to pinch the Slaying Spirit Monarch, what was so strange?" the Immortal Monarch smiled sarcastically.
"If so, what if the monarch who gave the secret order is the Spirit Slayer?"
Hearing this, Changshengjun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't notice his abnormality, he emptied the last glass of wine in his jug, and then got up, summoned out the Crow Slayer Bridge, and prepared to return to the Crow Slayer Palace, but just as he was about to step on the Crow Slayer Bridge, he turned around again, leaned on the bridge monument on the side of the Crow Slayer Bridge casually, and his tone was heavy, and there was no trace of joking: "Judging from the fact that you don't chase him out, you don't care much about our new Spirit Slayer King, right?" Seeing Changshengjun looking over, Crow Slayer spread his hands: " You also know that I owe Tianjun a favor, so Tianjun wants me to kill her, and you may like her mind, and you won't interfere in this matter, right?"
What Tu Ya Jun said was an understatement, and Changsheng Jun also said lightly: "Whatever you want," he said, "However, you may not be able to kill her." ”
"Heh, it's been a long time since I've practiced with you, but I give you the leisure to question my combat power, so let's practice together another day. Crow Tu didn't pay attention to Immortal King's words. Since ancient times, he has received the throne of the Underworld Division, and even when the Twenty-Four Bridges of the Underworld have not been pacified and occupied by millions of hell demons, he is one of the best generals under the command of Fenghuang Ning Yuan, and his combat power is not one of the best in the Three Realms, but he can be ranked in the top ten, and later, he and Shen Huan, the former monarch of the Killing Spirit Bridge, and the current adjutant of the Killing Spirit Bridge, Yu Hua, are all the "swords" in the hands of the Immortal Lacquer Pool - the eighteenth layer of hell , therefore, by his move, the possibility that the monarch of the Spirit Bridge who had just succeeded to the throne would not die was completely out of his consideration.
He laughed and disappeared into the Hall of Eternal Life with the Crow Slayer Bridge.
Seeing the crow disappear, the hand that Changshengjun had been holding tightly in his sleeve let go, and blood dripped from the palm of his fingernail puncture. When he closed his eyes, the other end of the Immortal Bridge was connected to the Spirit Slaying Bridge in the void, but after a few moments, the connection was broken again.
"Slaughter crows, hide your head and hide your tail, you are getting more and more promising. Changshengjun looked at the center of the room and said with a smile: "This is going and returning, could it be that the Immortal Bridge is really blocking you in the Crow Slaughter Palace? ”
"No," Tu Crow sat on the bridge monument of the Tu Crow Bridge that suddenly appeared in the hall, and smiled: "I forgot one thing, Shen Huan and I are holding the sword of killing the king, and now the sword of killing the king- Su Hong Qingfeng passed it to Zhan Lingjun, although the killing of the king will be punished, but it will not be as heavy as you, so if you really like her, I can put down the water, after all, everyone knows that the Su Hong in the hands of Shen Huan, the slaying spirit monarch back then, is on par with my crow slaughtering sword, although I made a move, but in the end, the killing spirit monarch did not die, and the heavenly monarch can't blame me - if you really like the killing spirit monarch. ”
"You think too much," Changshengjun glanced at Tu Crow, his face was careless, and he was the same as usual, "If the pet is dead, Benjun can raise another one, but, Tu Crow," Changshengjun looked at Tu Crow, with a gloating smile on his face, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes:" Although the Slashing Spirit Monarch is not one of the monarchs of our underworld that has been inherited for thousands of years, I won't feel distressed if she dies, but she is also a monarch recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and we still have to take care of it in terms of face, if you really kill the Slaying Spirit Monarch, you must remember to go to the Killing Spirit Bridge to be punished. Moreover, although the Spirit Slayer has already died once, if you kill it again this time, she will have a soul collapse at most, but her soul is immortal and she can re-enter reincarnation, however, as the monarch of the world's parting capital, the wind and evil clouds of the world's incorruptible city will pursue her death, and you may have to go to the incorruptible city to ask for her guilt when you leave the criminal division, after all, it is recorded in my underworld "Hunting Moon Monarch Book" that Shen Chang'an's parting capital throne was personally awarded by Feng Xiyun. ”
"You don't have to worry about that. What's more, the world knows that the wind and cloud crown have been missing for eighteen years, and they will talk about it when she returns. The crow turned to leave, but distinctly, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
