Chapter 52: Fragments of Memory
The two black-robed men who walked in front of the two Enlightenment Dart Bureaus looked back vigilantly, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Qi Yu's gourd.
The path they walked on was a small and towering hill, and on one side of the hill was a cliff several feet high, which had been eroded by the wind and sand all year round, forming a magnificent scene like waves.
Several people on the hillside have a wide field of vision, but they can't see under their feet, there are two figures walking slowly, one tall and one short.
Those two figures were Lu Chuan and Chu Liusheng, who were hiding under the cliff and avoiding the sun. Lu Chuan heard the sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and when he passed by with the five people, he glanced up at them.
This method was already very risky and radical for him, and taking the initiative to expose Han Luyao in front of others was also a last resort for Lu Chuan. After more than a year of lurking, he has roughly talked about the location of the magic weapons hidden in various countries, but after a long time of deduction, how can he not use ordinary methods to approach the magic weapons, but it is easier to expose himself, he can only use this method, to retreat as advance, take advantage of the disputes in the court of Qi State, let Han Lu Yao approach the magic weapon when he verifies his true body, and then find a way to take the magic weapon back. This move is very risky, whether it is successful or not, the other countries will only hide all their magic weapons more closely, and then search for the remaining forces of the Chu State with a more high-pressure posture, and then their lives will become more and more difficult.
Lu Chuan first took the initiative to reveal Han Luyao's identity to Qi Yu's side with a token, so according to the current situation of the old and new parties, in order to turn over, the old party will inevitably use her as a weapon to disintegrate the forces of the new party before thinking about encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Chu State.
Thinking so, Lu Chuan raised his head and watched the group of people on the hillside slowly walk by.
Seeing this, Chu Liusheng, who was following him, raised his head suspiciously, and muttered after a while: "My God...... This leg is so white......"
Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment, turned around, kicked at Chu Liusheng hatefully, and scolded: "Can you have some interest, you see that your saliva is about to flow out!"
Chu Liusheng wiped his mouth with a smile and said, "Bad old man, didn't you see it first?
Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, turned his head, walked away by himself, and said, "I can't stand you......"
Chu Liusheng smiled, followed and said to Lu Chuan: "I have never seen such an open girl in Chang'an City, she is really good-looking, not inferior to the girl in the Silk Yun Building." Are they girls from the Western Regions coming here to run business? They look like rich people......
After hearing this, Lu Chuan glanced at him, and said angrily: "How do I know? ”
Chu Liusheng said with a hippie smile: "Cut, I'm too lazy to look at me as the daughter of a big family called Huazi." She doesn't look at me, can't I look at her? Finally, I met such a spirited person, and you just walked away without a few more glances?"
"Then look for yourself, I don't bother to deal with you. Lu Chuan didn't stop, carrying his small package on his back and walking like flying.
"Dead old man, such short legs are quite fast......" Chu Liusheng complained while turning his head and looking at Han Luyao on the hillside from afar.
At this time, Han Luyao, who was sitting on the horse, seemed to notice something and looked down.
The rocks under the hillside are stacked, forming a dead end with her position, where there is a shadow, and Lu Chuan and the others cannot be found without looking closely.
But Chu Liusheng saw Han Luyao's face draped in a scarf and her seductive eyes from the bottom of the slope.
Suddenly, he felt dizziness in his head, and the scorching sun, Gobi, and rocks around him seemed to turn white in an instant. Everything around was instantly covered in a blanket of snow.
Then, there was a sudden sharp pain in his head, as if someone had been struck hard with a sledgehammer head-on. He snorted and fell to the ground, clutching his head with a twisted face.
Lu Chuan heard the movement behind him, hurriedly turned around, and saw Chu Liusheng pressing his head dead at the moment, his body cramped and curled up on the ground, his mouth moaning incessantly, looking in pain.
"After the calf, something is going to happen!" Lu Chuan couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, and after speaking, he hurriedly rushed forward with an arrow step and came to Chu Liusheng's side. He freed his hand and tugged Chu Liusheng's clothes, dragging him to the bottom of the cliff.
Chu Liusheng still closed his eyes tightly, gasping incessantly, his face was pale, and a bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The whole world became in a trance in an instant, but Lu Chuan dragged him without noticing it, as if he had sunk into an abyss-like dream.
He had a splitting headache, and he felt like he had been pushed down the abyss, bottomless in front of him, and the end was pitch black.
"Are you afraid of death?"
A faint voice sounded in his ears, as if it came from a distant place, and it seemed to be whispering in his ear, and it was not really audible.
He covered his ears in fear and closed his eyes, trying to shrink himself into a ball.
"Your Highness, as long as you are here, there is hope for the Chu State......"
A gentle and beautiful female voice came to his ears, like a spring breeze, soothing his fearful state of mind.
“...... The people of Chu are always behind you...... Me too...... There is hope for everything......"
The murmur began to linger around him, driving away all the darkness that terrified him.
He still didn't dare to open his eyes, but he couldn't help but reach out, trying to grab the voice and keep it.
Swish!
He struggled repeatedly in his dreams, but it was as if he was stuck in an invisible spider's web, unable to move. I don't know how long it took, and all the sounds suddenly disappeared without a trace.
After a long while, Chu Liusheng felt no discomfort, so he mustered up the courage and slowly opened his eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Chuan's wrinkled little head, and his cloudy eyes were staring at him tightly.
"Wow, old man, you're going to scare me to death!" Chu Liusheng was startled and sat up, only then did he realize that he was already sweating all over, and the clothes on his body were already soaked.
Lu Chuan reprimanded: "Little rabbit cub doesn't know what to do, I was kind enough to see that you were fainted by the heat, and dragged you here to do a good job, and you still talk about me?"
Chu Liusheng was stunned, his mind was empty, and he couldn't remember anything.
"I ...... I'm fainting from the heat?" he asked, stunned.
Lu Chuan sat down beside Chu Liusheng, wiped the sweat from his head, and said breathlessly: "Otherwise, what do you think? You are lazy to eat, and you have a thin body and poor physique, so you don't listen to your usual work, and you will fall down after such a little road......"
Chu Liusheng listened to Lu Chuan's angry reprimand, and was a little distracted.
He remembered that he was playing a gag with Lu Chuan in good spirits just now, and by the way, he looked at the daughter of a big family passing by, but it was as if someone had knocked him from behind, and his head hurt and he fainted.
He tried his best to recall, but as if he was recalling his own life experience, there were faint fragments, but he still couldn't remember anything, and his head hurt more and more.
"Let's go, let's go, if you don't go, you won't be able to get to the post station before dark. Lu Chuan rested for a while, didn't care about Chu Liusheng's confused expression, stood up by himself, patted his buttocks, and said.
Chu Liusheng stood up listlessly like a marionette and followed behind Lu Chuan.
He turned his head to look up the hillside, which was empty, with no one but yellow sand blowing across the hot ground.
The two men walked along the long-dried and cracked river, each thinking about their own thoughts. The river is long and spreads all the way to the depths of the Gobi Desert. As far as the eye can see, only a few white shirts stand crookedly and shriveled branches on the hard earth.
Lu Chuan secretly turned his head and peeked at Chu Liusheng, and saw that his complexion had returned to ruddy, so he reluctantly put his mind at ease.
At the beginning of the time secret technique, it had to be used on Chu Liusheng. During that time, the King of Chu's almost crazy desires forced him to tie his hands and feet. Xilu Academy's lobbying alliance against Chu in various countries was actually already in his expectation, Chu was still in its heyday at that time, and there was still a lot of ruling time, as long as the time secret technique was given to him for a few more years, it could be completed. But the people of the world have an abnormal greed for immortality, and they list all kinds of atrocities of the king of Chu on the grounds of doing the way for heaven, but in fact, they secretly just want to get this secret technique in order to become immortals forever.
At that time, the top ten artifacts in the world had all been owned by the Chu State, and Lu Chuan hid them from the world. The time secret technique is needed to refine them into magic weapons, and Lu Chuan arrayed them into magic weapons, borrowing the divine power in them to develop the time secret technique, but the time was still too hasty, and when he finally looked forward to the dawn, the iron cavalry of the Qin army had already stepped on the gate of the imperial capital of the Chu State.
Although the time secret technique used in a hurry saved Chu Liusheng who died under Ye Buliu's hands, it still caused a lot of side effects. His body was forcibly distorted to time and space, but his memories died there. If his memory is awakened, he may be in danger of losing his life.
It is also because of this that the blood flowing in Chu Liusheng's body has become the only necessity for the awakening of the time secret technique. He still has the heavy responsibility of reviving the Great Chu on his shoulders, and the foundation of hundreds of years cannot be destroyed at this time. There are also a few people in the royal families of other great powers who know the secret of the secret art of time, but no one dares to make this secret public. The secret art of time is like a double-edged sword, everyone in the world wants to have it, but everyone is afraid of harming themselves. What they need most at this time is Chu Liusheng's bloodline, with it, they can spy on the mystery of this secret technique.
But at this time, Chu Liusheng was still unaware, carrying a long ancient sword on his back, racking his brains to recall the scene in his mind when he fainted.
Lu Chuan understood that there was a long way to go to revive the Great Chu, and the only way to keep Chu Liusheng from being eaten by his memory was to use the disguise technique, and he found that as long as his face changed, the side effects of the time secret technique would not hurt him. When he met Chu Liusheng for the first time, he used the face of a wandering beggar on the street to change it for himself, so that he could be at peace with him for so long. According to his next plan, if Han Luyao succeeded in bringing the demon refining pot out of the Qi State Palace, he would let Shen Mengxi use the disguise technique to fight Chu Liusheng and use his bloodline to awaken the demon refining pot, not only could he get this artifact, but also make Shen Mengxi naturally stay by Chu Liusheng's side.
