Chapter 155 No Wind and No Waves
"You look like you're enjoying it, I really don't understand why you would raise someone who wants to kill you. Holding the shovel behind his back and beating his waist, Lao Xi took a moment to take a breath, looking at the people who shouted slogans to clean up the broken stones and bricks, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of envy, "It's old, it's not as good as those young people." ”
Carefully controlling the wind and continuing to carry the gravel blocking the road, Song Chengjie glanced at Lao Xi and smiled lightly: "Lao Xi, you are still young, sigh what old." ”
In this regard, Lao Xi just smiled heartily and didn't say anything more. Whose body knows best, Lao Xi's dark illness in the arsenal in the early years was finally reflected in the post-war era of poor materials, and he has long since lost the blood of the year, and his only wish is to live with these people who trust him to follow him until the day when mankind sees the light again.
"The lord is again wooing his subordinates. The pitch-black technique held up the broken bricks and gravel, Hei Yao paused specially when he passed by the sigh of the wind, and looked at Song Chengjie and Lao Xi who were chatting happily from a distance, and always felt that there was some disobedience, after all, the age difference between the two was too great.
With a group of children frolicking with a sigh, he tilted his head and combed his hair, and he didn't even like to see the interest of the two of them: "He's like this, he wants to win over when he sees no master around him." Jiang Chengjie, Su Lun, and those who have always supported him were all recommended by others or personally invited by him. Just get used to it. ”
"Suren?"
"Oh yes, you haven't met him yet. Fengzhi sighed and thought about it, and while holding hands with the two children and circling around Hei Yao, he explained, "He was injured on the day you came, if he hadn't covered for Song Chengjie, who was plotted at the time, my servant probably wouldn't have been able to hold you up in the first place." ”
Remembering that assassination. The sigh of the wind still lingers in his heart. If it weren't for Su Lun buying time, if it weren't for Hei Yao's sudden appearance, Song Chengjie would never have survived such a desperate situation, and he would have been secretly erased by that officer and turned into a veritable living fortress.
As soon as he thought of this, Fengzhi's sighing footsteps slowly stopped, remembering that just now he was jealous of the intimacy between Hei Yao and Song Chengjie. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, lowered her head and pretended to sort out the child's clothes, and whispered, "I'm sorry...... Thank you, Heiyao. ”
Listening to it was a little foggy, Hei Yao just thought that Feng Zhi's sigh was apologizing for getting involved in the human world and having to sign a contract with Song Chengjie, and immediately raised his hand and scratched his head quite embarrassedly: "There's nothing to thank, it's been so long, you should get used to it." ”
Nodding, the wind sighed and smiled at the corners of his mouth, yes, it's time to get used to it. Isn't it just that he has two instrument spirits at the same time, and the blood emperor of the blood clan back then still had seven treasures at the same time, what are you thinking about here.
"Well, who let us have such a talented master. Sighing slightly, Feng Zhi sighed and pulled the child towards the less crowded place next to him, and turned around with a playful smile, "I took the children to play somewhere else, and you continue to work here." ”
Hongchuan underground. In a guest room in the last holy place, the three of them, Qiao Cang Jinyi, Qiao Cang Youji, and Qiao Cang Youxi, were sitting precariously. Although his body was more or less wrapped in bandages, and his aura was extremely sluggish, his momentum was still like three sharp blades, and a room that could fit more than twenty people was full of dignified killing aura.
"You can still encounter such a thing. Qiao Cangxi looked at his two grizzled brothers, and he was also very depressed, thinking that even if he was in trouble on the road. The two elder brothers should have already arranged the relevant matters, and when Hongchuan converged, they didn't expect that these two people would encounter more than themselves, "The mysterious powerhouse beside Venerable Huyan still doesn't know where he is, so it's too dangerous to wait for Lord Mu to come like this." ”
Don't look at the three of them just met. It also took a lot of time to deal with the injuries, but after all, they are old comrades-in-arms and brothers who have been together for thirty or forty years, and there is no obstacle to the exchange of information, and they have mastered everything that happened to each other in a short period of time, so that they can sit together and think about countermeasures quietly like now.
"Then you mean we're going to do something on purpose to lure him out. Qiao Cang Yuji could naturally hear what Qiao Cangxi meant, although luring the snake out of the hole may not necessarily have any substantial gains, but at least he can determine the true identity of the person who secretly threatens his side, but, "No, it's too risky." And wouldn't this be telling them what we planned for the future, and if they were alerted, it would be more than worth the loss. ”
"We don't need to test him directly. ”
Frowning slightly, Qiao Cang Yuji looked at the younger brother in front of him, who was called the second brain of Qiao Cang's family, and understood his thoughts after a little thought: "Song Chengjie." ”
"Well, the breakthrough is Song Chengjie. Qiao Cangxi nodded and continued, "Venerable Huyan has an unclear relationship with Song Chengjie, but from the fact that he used the Water and Wood Soul Restoration Technique on Song Chengjie, it can be seen that he cherishes the other party very much. Moreover, Song Chengjie, as the person in power in Hongchuan, Venerable Huyan would not watch him being threatened and ignore him. ”
"But the current Venerable Huyan still has to deal with our side on the surface, and the only one who can help Song Chengjie is that mysterious powerhouse. Qiao Cang Yuji said and chuckled, it seemed that he had no opinion on this proposal, "The spell that ran to the imperial capital before must have consumed a lot, even if it was a mysterious powerhouse, it would be absolutely impossible for him to recover in a short time, so take advantage of his poor state to lure him out safely." ”
Qiao Cang Yuji also knew that if it weren't for the fact that it was a great drain on that strong man, the three of them would not dare to act rashly no matter what. The most shy thing for the Onmyoji is this kind of battle between the enemy and the enemy, because not to mention the difference in strength itself, even if it is not as good as his own enemy, if he secretly uses the appropriate spell, he may make himself capsize in the gutter.
"It's just that the two brothers have to be careful of one person. ”
"Song Chengjie, right? I know a little bit about him, the shield of justice is an extremely rare genius in history, the spiritual ability awakens at the age of six, the sigh of the spiritual wind of the inheritor at the age of twelve leaps to become the fourth horse, was plundered by the king of the earth at the age of sixteen, and when he returned to the team at the age of eighteen, he was almost a wasted person, but he reached the peak again in just half a year. Such a person as an opponent is indeed a bit worrying. ”
"It's much more than that. Shaking his head, Qiao Cangxi recalled a battle he happened to encounter when he arrived in Hongchuan, "That guy can easily control the entire Hongchuan now, at least in that battle, he controlled the entire Hongchuan and commanded two or three hundred people respectively." Such an opponent is by no means ordinary, if you underestimate him, you will be afraid that you will be slaughtered if you fail to be lured. ”
Listened to Qiao Cangxi's words. Konichi and Yuji Kyokura were both particularly shocked. Maybe Qiao Cang Jinyi is a little sluggish about things like intelligence analysis, but he still knows very well what the four words of global control represent, that is the command talent he dreams of, if he cooperates with such a person, the battle will become very simple and efficient.
It's just that global control not only requires a huge brain capacity as the basis for analyzing the intelligence of the battle situation, but the commander's control of his own emotions will also affect the actual performance, which can be regarded as a rather rare ability.
"There's a lot of freaks hiding in this place. Qiao Cang Yuji sighed in a low voice, got up and quietly pushed the door open a crack, and carefully looked at the appearance of the last holy place. "I've heard a long time ago that there is a huge shelter under Hongchuan that is beyond the imagination of most human beings, and I thought it was just a gimmick at first, but now I believe it. ”
Nodding his head as if he had a deep understanding, Qiao Cangxi said: "There are a lot of freaks in Hongchuan, after all, even this last holy place was designed by a teenager. ”
"Brother, do you have any thoughts on this Song Chengjie?" As much as possible to avoid wasting time by chatting, Qiao Cang Yuji did not continue to focus on discussing Hongchuan's affairs. He knew that no matter how thoroughly he and Xi saw it, the main combat power between the three of them would still depend on Qiao Cang Jinyi.
Hearing the topic fell to his side. Qiao Cangjin frowned slightly. He had never liked this type of meeting, and in his personality, it was enough to know the outcome of the meeting and what he had to do, and it was a pain for him to listen to them.
"What can I think, if I can fight, I will fight, and if I can't, I will hold him back. Anyway, in the end, what I want is the life of Venerable Huyan. The two of them were a little helpless when they heard the words with murderous intent, but they also knew that these words were indeed Qiao Cang Jinyi's style, "It's just that I'm afraid that sooner or later Song Chengjie will also perceive our true purpose, and it is impossible for him not to help Venerable Huyan, the life-saving benefactor, and be ready to start an all-out war with the shield of justice because of this." ”
"Don't worry. The shield of justice is not something we have to worry about. While the vast territory has brought them abundant human resources, it has also consumed their backbone, and there are too many forces that have been dispersed, and the current shield of justice is no longer the existence we fear. ”
Raising his eyes and looking at Qiao Cang Yuji, Qiao Cangjin snorted lightly and got up and walked towards the house. As an Onmyoji, he is also a man who lives as a warrior, and the experience he has accumulated over the years on the battlefield has given him a unique premonition, and he always feels that this time the exorcist conference that should have been planned will have a lot of changes.
"Brother?"
"I'll go see how they're doing. Anyway, it's enough for you to discuss tactical issues, and I prefer to hear the battle instructions directly. ”
"Brother. Got up and stopped Qiao Cang Jinyi, Qiao Cang Yuji paused slightly, and when he spoke again, his voice had already added some strength slightly, "Don't think of them as former subordinates, now they are just puppets." It's not a good thing that you showed too much concern for them on the way from the Imperial Capital. ”
The body stopped suddenly, and the spiritual power of Qiao Cangjin's body instantly condensed, although it was only a moment to escape from the Five Elements Shengke Array, but as a general, he was already enough to exert terrifying power: "You...... Again, it's not in Onmyojuku. ”
"Well, I'm mistaken. As the so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, Qiao Cang Yuji also knows that if he fights Qiao Cangjin like this, he will have no advantage at all, and in the end, he will open up the relationship between the two and cause unnecessary disagreements and losses.
"No matter what it turns out to become, they will always be my subordinates. With that, with a light snort, Qiao Cangjin dispersed his spiritual power and turned around and walked into the back room, leaving Qiao Cang Yuji and Qiao Cangxi looking at each other.
In the camp in the west of the city, Lao Xi wiped the sweat on his head, and while leveling the ground with a few people, he looked at Song Chengjie, who was slamming the ground with a heavy hammer condensed by the wind not far away, and said: "You haven't officially answered me yet, why do you want to cultivate someone who wants to kill yourself, aren't you afraid that someone will take advantage of that little ghost?"
"Utilization...... To be honest, I haven't really thought about it. Song Chengjie said and smiled, the work in his hands did not stop, and continued in the dull ramming sound, "Even if you don't do this, didn't someone want to kill me in the first place." Rather than having someone with bad intentions spend time thinking about the impossible, it would be better to train an exorcist who is far more powerful than his existence before then, and let them know that even fellow exorcists would be very difficult to kill me. ”
It's just that having said that, Song Chengjie is still most sorry for the young man. After all, no matter what the truth is, his father did die at his own hands, and he can't bear to watch people with some talents go down the wrong path because of themselves.
Ordinary people make mistakes, at most they will affect themselves, the road is their own choice, Song Chengjie will not interfere too much. But if a person with talent takes the wrong path, I am afraid that he will be affected along with the people around him.
Especially in this chaotic post-war era, in order to suppress the military mutiny, Song Chengjie has already borne too many sins, if he is a person with more potential and talent beyond ordinary people to set off a storm, the cost of quelling it may be even greater.
"Do you know the difficulty and retreat?" Lao Xi frowned and followed the trumpet to lift the rammed earth machinery high, and threw it high with all his strength, and then smashed it down.
Embarrassed, Song Chengjie smiled bitterly and said: "I originally planned to do so, but then I thought it was better to forget it, it's not good to let that kid carry something too heavy." And I don't know if you believe it or not, but the most I am sorry for him is that his father died at my hands. ”
After hearing this, he looked at Song Chengjie in a daze, and Lao Xi and the few people who came to help were surprised.
"Did you really kill someone?"
Song Chengjie smiled bitterly, and while continuing to drive piles and ram the earth, he said lightly: "There is no wind, it can't make waves." (To be continued.) )
