[10. The Night Before's Light (II)]

Shangbai Ze Mingyin followed He Yanfang through the ten-mile platform.

It is worthy of being the imperial capital, even after experiencing a tragic massacre and looting, the night of Chang'an is still beautiful and prosperous. In the hidden huge killing machine, it is simply a flower and plant that swayed before the new wind comes.

will not be drunk, will not indulge in ‖, Mingyin is such an indifferent woman, ignoring the prosperity all the way, and following He Yanfang to the agreed place.

"He Yanfang," she finally spoke, "why did you want me to be a guard......?

"Don't get me wrong, I have no hatred for you. He Yanfang is still the same, full of fresh smiles at passers-by and the prosperity on the street, like a young man who has seen the world for the first time, with a dangerous confusion.

"Then why do you want me to come?" Mingyin really couldn't understand.

"Don't ask me why I know, you are in love with Shengjun, right?" He Yanfang's calm voice made her tremble, "This may be the last time I see Shengjun, he will die that night, even if it is a hopeless love, he should leave the last memory, right?"

"You ......" Mingyin didn't know what to say, but she knew that this was indeed her last chance to meet the boy she was in love with.

“...... How could you ...... in such a place" gradually realizing that they had walked into Pingkangfang, and Mingyin felt full of embarrassment.

Pingkangfang, where the courtyards hide the ‖ and laughter of women, is a place full of singing and dancing to find ‖ and have fun, a place where you can splash pompous bubbles when you throw money, and a dark place in the bustling city of the city.

"Don't be embarrassed, we're meeting here because this is the Soldier's Domain. He Yanfang explained.

"Soldier ......" Thinking of the wild and uninhibited girl in red, Mingyin could only sigh.

They turned into a sparsely lit path and approached a courtyard.

"You're here. A clear voice sounded, and the boy came out of the blooming silver cinnamon.

"Sheng-kun. He Yanfang smiled and looked at the dazzling young man.

For a moment, Mingyin didn't know who the young man in front of him was. Sheng changed into a pure white silk coat again, and the dragon and phoenix embroidered with silver thread shone in the bright moonlight of the night, and the whole person looked as if it was slightly fluorescent.

Petra stood behind him, still awe-inspiring as a rock, but she was somewhat affected by him, and she even smiled.

"This way. Sheng led them through the silver osmanthus forest to the marble-carved tables and chairs, "Please." ”

"Sure enough, you are the only ones who can come and discuss important matters. As they sat down, Sheng poured tea and handed it to them.

He Yanfang took the small cup of white porcelain, and the bright moonlight filled it, swaying slightly: "There are great differences within the Divine Army, and only I can be sent at will." ”

Sheng laughed out loud: "I knew it was like this...... But ah, it's good that you're here, Brother He. ”

Ming Yin glanced at the two strategists who were smiling at each other, but he didn't expect these two to have such a relaxed time to get along.

"You're going to have to ask for the food, aren't you? ”

"Ah, a little surprised, you don't look like you're from Bashu. Sheng showed an incomprehensible expression, and watched with a little horror as the maid Peach Blossom served the red dish, and was choked by the spicy taste as soon as he finished speaking.

"Remember Shengjun's taste is sweet?" Just wanted to express sympathy, He Yanfang was calmed by the sweetness that followed-

It was a crab marinated in honey, and the syrup shining made He Yanfang uncomfortable to look at.

"We didn't do anything wrong. Looking at his expression, he smiled narrowly, and let the sweet and spicy dishes divide their boundaries.

"Don't dare to eat spicy?" Pick up the red fish fillet and eat it, He Yanfang saw the shock in Sheng's eyes, and couldn't help but provoke.

Sheng's eyes flickered, and he pretended to be calm and picked up a slice of fish and swallowed it calmly.

Looking at the young man's provocative eyes, He Yanfang decided not to expose the fact that he used illusion, so that he would not be exposed if he used illusion to pretend that he had eaten sugar crabs, so he would flatten it out like this.

What we eat is just a sign of reconciliation, and what really matters is the deliberations that follow.

"This is the seal we have put up, please take a look. Sheng presented the scroll to He Yanfang and Mingyin, "Is there anything else that is not perfect?"

“...... This circle of magic circles is arranged by military ceremonies, right? It's already great for her to be able to do this, but if the painting score is not bad, this place can't be activated here, so you have to add two strokes like this......" He Yanfang quickly saw the problem, "I'll go and actually review it, don't worry." ”

"Then I'm bothering you. I said before that that the Hell Circle was a backup......"

"I've drawn it, just lay it out like this. He Yanfang also spread out a piece of paper.

"......" Sheng was stunned for a moment.

Seeing Sheng's complicated expression, Mingyin couldn't help but laugh.

“...... Should...... Can you understand it......" He Yanfang asked cautiously.

As a well-known heraldic artist, He Yanfang's children's stick figure-like drawings really make people wonder how he learned how to collar him.

"Judging by the actual effect, your brothers are really peculiar. "Redrew the delicate and beautiful pattern according to the chaotic schematic diagram, Sheng smiled, "No wonder the evil lord said that the final superimposed reversal circle should be developed by herself...... Isn't that so?"

"I painted like that, and I have won the true inheritance of my senior brother, and I can only blame him. Envious of Sheng's painting skills, He Yanfang responded with a smile, "You paint very well, and you really adhere to the usual fine and gorgeous style, but it is a bit wasteful to apply it to illusion." ”

"Huh?" Sheng looked up in dismay.

"Didn't you notice, Shengjun, your illusion is too gorgeous and detailed, for the battle, the subtle curls on the dragon's whiskers don't matter at all, but in the pursuit of perfection, you always do every inch of the same thing, doesn't it take too much energy?" He Yanfang actually wanted to point out to Sheng a long time ago, "Don't mind my painting skills first......

He casually drew a mass of patterns on the paper.

“...... What is this?" asked Petra.

"Clouds?" Mingyin asked, also confused, as she glanced up at the thick clouds that were spreading.

"It's a horse, don't mind if you say it......" He Yanfang frowned, clapped his hands to drive the demon power, "Get up!"

The rushing ink formed a giant beast to shade the moonlight, jumping and raising its hooves under their gaze.

"Even if it's so ugly, it's still powerful, so there's no need to spend energy on the battlefield depicting detailed phantom beasts, and if I do draw herds, I usually reduce my hooves and claws to smoke. He Yanfang quickly dispersed the abstract phantom beast.

"Understood, thanks for the reminder. Although he was deeply amused by He Yanfang's painting style, Sheng still nodded solemnly, "Although it is difficult to change, in order to reduce the loss, I will simplify the illusion." ”

"Time is running out, hasn't the evil lord researched the reversal formation yet?" He Yanfang asked again, "I'm a little worried, after all, the new formation still needs to be repaired and verified......"

"This is the initial idea of the evil lord, please help me take a look. Sheng also nodded and spread out a pattern.

“...... It's complicated. Mingyin frowned, "Hei Shui Ji is water-based, this formation should be biased towards the Redemption Technique?"

"Well, the evil lord specializes in the spells of the Redemption Sect, which is a fusion of the techniques of the Gen Sect and the Kan Sect. Sheng looked at her, "What does Shang Bai Ze think?"

"The magic circle itself is fine, but it's really complicated, can it really be launched smoothly when the time comes?"

"Mingyin, judging from my fight with the evil lord, she can do it. He Yanfang affirmed, "It's just that I hope there will be more strong people to help her activate the spell seal......

"Don't worry, I've already instructed my fierce generals, and a few of them can even foresee the future of becoming the new Eighteen Kings of Kyushu...... But that has nothing to do with us anymore," Sheng raised his eyes to look at him, "Brother He, what's going on with Taishan Mansion Jun?"

"The prince has agreed, and he will do his best to help us. He Yanfang's expression was solemn, "It's just that you know the situation of the Divine Army, I'm afraid that Mingyin and I will have to sit in Mount Tai." ”

Sheng straightened up suddenly: "This is not good, you are very important, the blood sacrifice cannot be without you!"

"There's no way, Taishan's side must also succeed, isn't it?" He Yanfang shook his head, "We will go to Taishan, of course, I promise you, I will come back as soon as that side is over, and I will definitely catch up." ”

"Really...... You must come back, Brother He. Sheng nodded worriedly and stared into his eyes, "Please......"

"Yes, I also hope to see Yu Xuan again. He smiled reluctantly, "Don't worry, I'm still very confident." And your plan is very meticulous and will definitely succeed. Speaking of which, doesn't it really matter if the evil lord fights the hardest......"

"It's okay, although she herself said, 'I really want to drink tea quietly, but it's really impossible,' but she is still as calm as usual. Sheng smiled wryly.

"Didn't say anything else?"

Sheng pondered for a moment: "...... When I asked him, he said to himself, 'Gentle as water, as intense as a flower', but to be honest, I don't understand much. ”

He Yanfang's smile stretched out softly: "Is the water gentle and flower-like intense, this is her style, it seems that there is really no need for me, an outsider, to worry." ”

Sheng looked at him suspiciously: "I still don't understand ......"

Looking at Sheng's childlike expression, He Yanfang smiled: "In fact, you understand, not only her, but we also have to do our best to be as intense as a flower." ”

"Is that so...... So, let's stop here tonight," Sheng put away the drawings, "It's almost time for the rain to rain in the Black Water Hime." ”

"Ah, the time of her daily rain has been shortened a lot recently, and it seems that she is about to completely control the earth qi in Chang'an. He Yanfang raised his head, and the cold rain just began to fall.

"When will this rain stop......" Mingyin opened his umbrella, his eyes dark.

"I'm going to go down today, but it's almost over. Hiding under Petra's umbrella, Sheng's eyes were still as clear as the obscured moon.

He Yanfang felt the cold of the water vapor to the bone, and smiled slightly: "I chose our rain, and she will cry for herself soon." ”

"Sacrificing Jiuding with the blood of the Demon King is an unprecedented move. "Mingyin still feels unreal.

"Jiuding is determined to come out of the world, and I hope this time it will be the same. Sheng smiled indifferently and looked at the long shadow on the ground.

The Ding of the nine host monsters was thirsting for blood, they should have been filled with the blood of the soldiers of the Divine Army, and then they would eat the imperial capital and eat Kyushu inch by inch. This is a huge, secretive conspiracy that, once launched, will destroy and crush everything to ashes—

But it hadn't woken up to that conspiracy, and it wasn't time yet.

"Now I finally understand the meaning of Jiuding's reappearance in the world," Sheng smiled softly and relieved, "This time it's finally okay, it's time for them to awaken." ”

——·——

Preview: The wind and rain of **** continue to fall in the suffering imperial capital.

"You still seem to be very upset. Hiding under the umbrella and watching the rain, Sheng spoke.

"I have divined, and that blood sacrifice is a sign of adversity. Petra looked down at him slightly, "Do you want to continue even then?"

"We want a blood sacrifice, of course it's a big murderer, it's okay. He replied easily, "It's hard for you to be accurate in divination, don't you hate your mother the most?"

"yes, I really hate fate and the like, along with the nasty crystals. Petra glanced at the white crystal pendant they had used as proof of the contract, and her voice was low.

Sheng played with the pendant in the palm of his hand, watching it emit a mysterious dark light: "Perhaps, you can't find your own essence because you are blinded by disgust." The crystallization of fate must have its truth. ”

"It sounds annoying, but if you live with the things of fate, you can only find a way out if you break it. ”

Sheng put the crystal in front of his eyes: "But I think differently......"

"And what do you think makes sense?"

"Perhaps...... When we die, we will understand. Sheng smiled and withdrew the pendant, "Look forward to it......"

The long rain is finally coming to an end, the door to the Yellow Spring has been opened, this time it is the end of the endless death, weep, Demon King!
