"Dash...... Da ......"

The sound of dull and hurried footsteps echoed hollowly in the dark stone cavern from far and near, startling the dust.

Suddenly, a faint yellow halo was reflected on the stone wall, and two figures were suddenly elongated, and Su Wen walked in front, and the inside of his hand had been replaced with an everlasting lamp.

There is only one road on this stone path, and there is no obstacle to moving forward, so Su Wen walked very fast with Xunchen, even if he did not use the war poem to speed up, but in terms of Su Wen's speed strengthened by dragon blood, it was much faster than the last time he came out.

In comparison, today's Xunchen is more like an oil bottle.

This is also something that can't be helped, after losing the Tianji Yu and the Terran Jade Seal, Xun Chen is just an ordinary ordinary person in the body, he fled all the way, and trekked a hundred miles in the Lost Swamp, if it weren't for Su Wen with him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to hold it anymore.

Now walking into the stone road, hoping that there are no pursuers in front and behind, Xunchen's spirit suddenly relaxed, so the exhaustion that penetrates deep into the bone marrow instantly swells like a tide, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, forcing himself not to relax.

After walking in the stone path for a whole day and night, Xunchen's legs were as heavy as lead, so the two of them stopped for the first time and rested with their backs against the stone wall.

Then the footsteps echoing in the air disappeared, replaced by the heavy panting of Xunchen.

As for Su Wen, since he entered here, he had never spoken again, and he had become unusually silent.

"Su Wen ......"

"Huh?"

Su Wen turned his head. Looking at the pale color on Xunchen's face, he seemed to come back to his senses, and quickly took out a kettle from his arms and handed it to Xunchen.

Xunchen took it. First opened the spout and poured three sips of cold water fiercely, and then took a long breath of relief, and then asked: "Since you went to worship Academician Liu before, you have been wrong, what is going on?"

Su Wen wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I'm worried that the time is a little too late." The fat man is now almost unable to hold on in the Yellow Crane Tower. ”

This is the truth, but Xunchen understands it very well. This had nothing to do with his own question, so he looked into Su Wen's eyes and said solemnly, "You know, I'm not asking this. ”

Hear the words. Su Wen was suddenly a little embarrassed, because he knew that he and Xunchen were companions at this moment, although the two had some conflicts when they were in Southern Xinjiang before, but those were in the past.

The reason why Xunchen fled with him was not for anything else, but because he hoped to use his wisdom and what he learned from his teacher to help him, from a certain point of view. This kind of help is gratuitous, and it all depends on the righteousness of Xunchen, so it is reasonable. Su Wen shouldn't hide it from him.

But the key is that there are many things now, and Su Wen himself can't figure out what is going on, so how can he explain it to Xunchen?

So he could only be silent for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "If I say, I myself don't know what happened." Do you believe it?"

What Xunchen learned the most from his teacher was to speculate on people's hearts. Although he had almost lost his life for underestimating Emperor Canglan's ambitions before today, it was still what he did best.

So he could hear that this time, Su Wen was not lying.

"I believe it. ”

After speaking, Xun Chen waved his hand and sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let me ask you, if you still plan to go outside the territory in the end, then what are your plans when you come back from outside the territory?"

Su Wen looked at Xunchen a little strangely, and didn't know how to answer for a while, because the question itself was a little weird.

Now that the two of them are still on the run, they don't know how long they can escape or how far they can escape, and even if they temporarily solve the problem of Tang Ji eating people, it is also a question whether they can leave here safely and go to Tianqi Mountain, not to mention how to bypass the change in the attitude of the demon clan towards him and how to solve it.

Well, taking a step back, even if Su Wen had a smooth ride and really went to the outside of the territory through Southern Xinjiang, but now he doesn't even know how to gain a foothold outside the territory, so why did he start talking about coming back?

Moreover, is it so good to come back from outside the territory?

How much did the three demi-saints of the Patriotic Kingdom pay in order to return from abroad? Even the symbol of the entire Patriotic Empire, one of the foundations of the Hongming Academy, Hongniao, has now fallen into a long sleep, if it weren't for this, how could the Beibei Pass be lost so lightly?

Therefore, Xunchen's question is too long ago and unreasonable.

But since this was asked by Xun Chen, then he naturally has his reason, but this reason, he can't sue Su Wen for the time being.

"If I have to answer, I can only say that when I come back, I hope that my friends, my teachers, and my country will be safe, and then I will do my best to continue to protect them. ”

Hearing this, Xun Chen seemed to be very disappointed, but he did not stop there, but made a brief evaluation of Su Wen's words in a deep voice.

This evaluation is only four words.

"No ambition!"

Su Wen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "If you really want to talk about it, I was originally a person with no big ambitions, and now I can get this far, in fact, I was forced out." ”

This is true, when he was able to win the literary position in the holy temple and enlighten Wenzhi, he was forced out by Xu Yi.

He went to Huizhou to take the state examination and enter the academy, but he was also forced out by the Xu family.

Later, he was able to find the relics of the demon clan in the trial and was promoted to the realm of waiting, but he was forced out by Ouyang Ke, Wushuang Academy and Tianlan Academy.

Later, he achieved world-famous fame in the Yellow Crane Tower, but he was forced by the demons.

Even if he went to take the ten-nation joint examination and compete for the top spot, he was forced by the civil war initiated by the Canglan Emperor.

Therefore, it was not what he wanted for Su Wen to come to this day, and in the short period of about a year since he came to the Sacred Word Continent, he was almost like being pushed forward by a pair of invisible hands.

If you can choose. Maybe Su Wen would rather stay with Su Yu and Tang Ji in Linchuan City, where there is no quarrel with the world, and spend his life in peace.

But there are some things that you don't want to fight. It's not indisputable.

Fighting for the position, for the treasure, for the name, in the end, what Su Wen is fighting for is just that he and the people he cares about, can have a peaceful world.

But at this moment, hearing Su Wen's words, Xunchen's tone couldn't help but become a little heavier.

"Actually, I already knew this. It is precisely because of this that there will be disagreements when we are in southern Xinjiang. I haven't put my hope in you, I understand that you're not fit to be a hero, or even a hero. Because what you care about most is not the world, but you personally, I can't blame it, but have you ever thought about it......"

As he spoke, Xun Chen sat up a little straighter, and said earnestly: "Have you ever thought that at this time, in fact, you have no choice." ”

"Whether you admit it or not. For example, today's great responsibility has been shouldered on you, and you have taken the initiative to carry it, even if your original intention is only to ensure the peace of the country. But as long as you are alive for a day, you must have the consciousness of taking peace in the world as your own responsibility!"

"Moreover, you must not think that with the Holy Decree, the world can be peaceful, you must not forget, in the martial country. Once Emperor Canglan realizes that he can't arrest you in a short period of time, he will naturally gather an army of warriors to start the war. How will you deal with yourself then?"

"What can you do if you find that the country is in turmoil when you return from abroad? Do you really think that with your own strength, you can protect the people you care about?

Speaking of this, Xun Chen suddenly raised a finger and said solemnly: "Moreover, you have ignored a most important issue, the biggest hidden danger in the world today is actually not the Canglan Emperor, but the demon people!"

In this regard, Su Wen raised his eyebrows in confusion, but he did not interrupt Xunchen's words, but continued to remain silent.

"Therefore, now the human race is really at the juncture of life and death, there is the Canglan Emperor who started the war lightly, and there are the remnants of the demon race outside, one is not good, and it will repeat the mistakes of the demon race back then!"

"And you, Su Wen, Su Shengcai! Even if you are forced to come to this point, you are still the greatest hope of our clan in the future! Do you know why all the saints are so optimistic about you? Do you know how many people have pinned their high hopes on you? Do you know that every decision you make in the future will affect the hundred-year plan of mankind?"

"If you still have the idea of being alone, then I hope you can tell me in time, so that after you go to the outside world, I will naturally leave. ”

"But, I mean, if, even if there is even a little bit of concern in your heart for the survival of our people, and a trace of gratitude for the dedication of all saints, please go forward from this moment on, with a heavy responsibility!"

After Xunchen's words, there was a long silence in the stone road, and after half a pillar of incense, Su Wen exhaled lightly and asked Xunchen the first question.

"Why are you telling me this?"

Xun Chen's eyes were calm, and he replied truthfully: "Because I am a Terran military advisor, even if I have lost the Terran jade seal now, I am still a Terran military advisor, I can't watch the turmoil in the human world and do nothing, so, under the nine springs of the other day, how can I have the face to see grace again?"

"I didn't say these things to you before, because at that time, in my eyes, you didn't need to bear such a heavy responsibility, but now it's different from the past, I have thought a lot along the way, and finally figured out a lot, so I think it's time for you to know where your responsibility lies. ”

Su Wen nodded, and then asked a second question.

"If I am willing, as you say, take the righteousness of the world as my own responsibility and the survival of my people as my burden, then what do you think I should do when I return from abroad?"

In this regard, Xun Chen didn't even hesitate for a moment, and said categorically: "Fight for the world!"

Su Wen looked at Xun Chen in confusion, and said suspiciously: "Fight for the world, then what is the difference between me and Emperor Canglan?"

Xun Chen shook his head: "It's different! Now we are talking about what happened after you returned from outside the territory, at that time, if my expectations are correct, the human world has already been in war, and the ten kingdoms of the human race have fallen apart, so you are fighting for the world, and now the Canglan Emperor is fighting for the world, which has a completely different meaning!"

"What he does will only cause chaos in the world, and you are for reunification!"

After a pause, Xun Chen added: "And, at least from my point of view, if our clan must have an emperor to unify the ten kingdoms in the future, you are more suitable than Emperor Canglan!"

In this regard, Su Wen didn't ask why, but just smiled: "Okay, even if you are reasonable, but the world is so contentious? I am neither a saint nor the king of a country, why should I fight for this world? And don't forget, I still have the blood of the demon clan in my body, and it is reasonable and difficult to be tolerated by the people of the world!"

In the face of Su Wen's powerful questioning, Xun Chen did not panic at all, and said calmly: "The holy order is very clear, the identity of your demon clan spy is just 'suspicious'! This is originally the retreat left for you by the Lord of the Words and the Book Saint, and after a while, someone will naturally help you correct your name!"

"At that time, the story of our clan's saints enduring humiliation and burdens for the sake of peace in the world will surely win the support of many people for you, as for you saying that you are not a saint, is it the Canglan Emperor? You say that you are not the king, but I promise that when you return from the holy land, as long as you are willing, someone will definitely make you the emperor, let you sit in that position, and become famous!"

Su Wen was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly said something.

That was what Su Shi said to him when he was still in Afang Palace.

"If you want, the entire Su family can be handed over to you in the future, and Zhaohui Academy can also be handed over to you, and even if you want to be the emperor, I guarantee that no one dares to object, how about it?"

And this is not all, because at this time, neither Xunchen nor Su Wen knows for the time being, in fact, long before Su Wen left the Holy Palace, the Su family had already arranged a marriage for him, if there was no accident, his wife would be the future saint of the human race.

This is the most abundant political capital that the old lady of the Su family has won for Su Wen!

At this time, after listening to Xunchen's tirade, the look on Su Wen's face suddenly became a little uncertain, and then he asked Xunchen the third and last question.

"You said so much to me, is it really for the righteousness of the world, or is it for yourself?"

In a word!

However, in this regard, Xun Chen did not get angry, let alone walk away, but asked rhetorically: "No matter what it is, is there a difference for you?"

Hearing this, Su Wen smiled, then stood up suddenly, and said: "I will keep what you said in my heart today, I need some time to think about it, but I can promise you that I will definitely give you an answer before I step outside the territory." ”

After saying this, Su Wen continued to walk towards the depths of the stone path without looking back, and the dim yellow light emitted by the ever-bright lamp went farther and farther, gradually weakening.

And Xun Chen looked at Su Wen's back, but suddenly raised a faint smile from the corner of his mouth, mysterious......
