Nanliang, the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mr. Wen's house.

It's nightfall.

There are lights flickering.

Tonight, it was drizzling and the surrounding area was very wet.

After a few months, Ye Du finally returned to the capital and brought back the red sandalwood treasure box...... When they returned to Beijing with the answers, it was already night, and the city gate had been closed, and it was only with the token of Prince Liang that the gatekeepers opened the city gate and were able to enter the city smoothly.

Traveling thousands of miles all the way, Rao is Ye Du and the other three have martial arts, but they are also extremely tired, and they can't wait to return to their own house, bathe in peace, eat a meal of wine and food, and then sleep peacefully with their concubines in their arms.

But they were ordered to go out of the city, and now that they have returned, they do not dare to delay, so they come to Mr. Wen's house overnight.

And Mr. Wen, whose body was extremely weak and coughed constantly, was already sitting above and waiting.

The dimness of the candlelight, shining on his pale face, inevitably had some infiltrating smell, as if there was no breath of a living person.

"The Rosewood Treasure Box was retrieved?"

Mr. Wen covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, the handkerchief was dyed red, he gasped for a moment, and said, "Didn't you encounter anything on the road?"

Ye Du and the three of them glanced at each other, and then Ye Du spoke, telling them all the things on the way.

After listening, Mr. Wen was silent for a moment.

"The men of the White Army?"

Mr. Wen frowned and said, "Are you sure?"

Ye Du said in a low voice: "They have changed their clothes and weapons, but I can see that they must be people from the white-clothed army." ”

Mr. Wen was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, this matter ...... Talk to me in two days. ”

He took a deep breath, only to feel that his chest and abdomen were much wetter, and he waved his hand reluctantly, looking quite weak.

"You have traveled thousands of miles, for two or three months, and you are tired of thinking about it, so go back and rest. ”

As he spoke, he coughed twice.

Ye Du and the three of them respectfully sent the red sandalwood treasure box and immediately retreated.

It's just that the three of them glanced at each other, and they were all quite worried.

After two or three months of not seeing him, Mr. Wen's original injury symptoms seemed to be much worse.

In Nan'an before, he returned to the capital after failing to find a doctor, hoping that the imperial doctors in the capital could cure the injuries, but now it seems that in two or three months, the imperial doctors not only failed to cure Mr. Wen's injuries, but even failed to stop the deterioration?

The three of them can be regarded as Mr. Wen's henchmen, and they can't help but be worried, but they don't dare to ask.

......

Mr. Wen carried the burden of the rosewood box, and with the support of the maid, he returned to the room.

These days, there are maids in the room, for fear that Mr. Wen will suddenly have an injury and illness, and no one will take care of him.

But this time, Mr. Wen just waved his hand and sent the maids out.

This time, there was an oil lamp in the room.

Occasionally, there is a snap, which is very crisp.

It's just that the lights are still dim.

He gently opened the silk wrapped in the red sandalwood treasure box, Rao is his strategist, Mr. Wen, as Prince Liang's most relied on strategist, he has seen many big scenes, but in front of this wooden box, it also looks extremely dignified.

Regarding the injury, he knew that Kiyohara did not deceive.

Because he can perceive that this body bone has become increasingly weak and irreversible with recent times.

In two or three months, even if the imperial doctors in the palace tried their best, it was difficult to stop the deterioration, so Prince Liang was furious and even killed three imperial doctors in a row.

If this kind of deterioration continues, even if he relies on Prince Liang behind his back and the entire Liang Kingdom, he can continue to use rare treasures such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, it is terrible that it will be difficult for him to last another half a year.

Mr. Wen was already feeling the threat of death.

The so-called terminally ill and incurable, that's it.

But now, his chance to survive may be in the red sandalwood treasure box.

"How?"

Mr. Wen spoke in a low voice.

He knew that Kiyohara had been watching him all the time, and he also knew that Kiyohara had always been able to hear and answer his own words.

"Open the wooden box. ”

Kiyohara's voice seemed to be calm.

But under the calm, whether there are any emotional ups and downs is not something that Mr. Wen and a mere mortal can detect.

"I've waited so long, and in these days, my body is getting weaker and weaker, and I'm looking forward to the return of this wooden box......" Mr. Wen didn't open the wooden box immediately, he just smiled reluctantly, "But at this point, I'm not so urgent." ”

Qingyuan seemed to be able to detect something, and said lightly: "What kind of life insights does Mr. have?"

Mr. Wen sighed and said, "You said that my body and bones can't be saved, and in the wooden box, it can be my dependence for continued survival." But when it came time to open the wooden box, I always felt that you were like a demon......"

"After opening the wooden box, I will probably be unable to help myself in the days to come. ”

"Maybe if I open the wooden box, I will be pulled directly into it by you, and I will fall into the abyss, and I will never get up again. ”

"The flow of demons is the most depraved. ”

Mr. Wen stroked the rosewood box and said leisurely: "I feel that you are going to let me fall under the abyss." ”

......

The Mountain of Three Dangers.

Blessed land.

Mr. Wen, who appeared on the ancient mirror, was extremely weak, but he was not in a hurry to open the wooden box, but with a little emotion, a little vigilance, and caution.

Qingyuan listened to the slightly familiar words, and was silent for a moment.

"I seem to have this idea about the Demon Ancestor, I don't want to have anything to do with him, I don't want to be dragged down the abyss by him. ”

"Now in the eyes of this Mr. Wen, I am also an evil figure like the Demon Ancestor?"

Qing Yuan couldn't help but smile dumbly, and a smile appeared on his face, "This Mr. Wen is really interesting. ”

Downfall?

Falling into the abyss?

Demons?

Those who are different from the ordinary are demons, and those who are not good for the world are demons.

This is Daozu's evaluation of Qingyuan.

"Demons?"

Kiyohara smiled: "Strictly speaking, it's not wrong......

In the midst of the smile, he finally sighed.

The Demon Ancestor is bent on subverting the human world, destroying the great world of the gods, and making the future world become the "Demon Domain" he wants, which is the real demon.

But Qingyuan asked himself, but he never wanted to subvert this world.

Both of them are demons in the eyes of Dao Ancestors, but Qing Yuan has always made it clear that he and Demon Ancestors are separated.

It's just that in the eyes of the world, demons are demons, and there are no two kinds.

Qingyuan looked at Mr. Wen in the ancient mirror and couldn't help but chuckle.

......

In the dim light.

Mr. Wen sighed.

"Although I can't help myself, I am now decaying...... I don't even have a physical body, let alone a body. ”

"You guessed it, I've been scheming for decades, and I really can't let it go. ”

"Then ...... It's up to you, demon. ”

Mr. Wen gently opened the lid of the rosewood box, revealing the contents inside.

The red sandalwood treasure box was wrapped in this pale yellow silk with his own hands and handed over to Ye Du.

At that time, the box was empty.

Later, after handing over to Ye Du and the three of them, the three of them remembered the strict order, escorted all the way, did not dare to slack off, and in two or three months, they took turns to guard, never left the sight, and bypassed the West Mountain, and then returned.

But now, there is already something in the red sandalwood treasure box, which should have been empty.

"Ye Du, Song Lao, and Lonely, these three masters escorted the treasure box, and they never slacked off, but you actually hid things in it, but they didn't know the changes inside, they really didn't know, and the ghosts didn't know ......."

"I have always valued the ability of the three of them, even if they are good at concealing martial arts masters, they can't do anything silently under their noses in this red sandalwood treasure box. ”

"The methods of the immortals are really extraordinary. ”

Mr. Wen laughed, coughed lightly, and gently took out the thing placed in the red sandalwood treasure box.

It's a talisman.

The background color of the rune paper is pitch black, the texture is pale white, and it has an unpredictable taste.

"It is said that yellow paper cinnabar draws spiritual runes. ”

Mr. Wen smiled bitterly and said, "You black talisman...... It's unheard of, so it can't be a demon or something?"

Qingyuan's voice came, and Yoyo said, "Even if it's a demon, isn't Mr. resigned to his fate?"

Mr. Wen suddenly laughed, stopped, and said in a deep voice: "How do you use this thing?"
