Legend of the Tang Dynasty

On New Year's Eve, Chang'an hunts down demons.

"Found it! Found it!"

Su Qing rushed in and said, "The youngest son of the He Mansion on Yong'an Street said he died in the army, but yesterday he suddenly came back with injuries all over his body, and said that he somehow came back to life and crawled out of the grave!"

Several people have been looking separately, but there are not many suspicious candidates. Chen Yuming just came back from the outside and rushed out without even drinking his saliva after hearing this. As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Yin and Bian Zechuan who had just returned. Seeing the appearance of Chen Yuming and Su Qing, Shen Yin immediately asked

"Have you found anything?"

"Well, Yong'an Street." Chen Yuming said without slowing down a step

The two turned around and followed out, murmuring on the way: "Suqing, the youngest son of the He family, why haven't I heard of it before?"

"He has been in the army all the time, and he died outside even before the funeral report came back. This man has come back to life!" Although Su Qing didn't say anything that was sure, he couldn't hide his secret joy in his words.

"If you put it this way...it's really promising." Shen Yin said in a low voice

Bian Zechuan remained silent, although he knew in his heart why he kept some secrets for later, but that was before the soul-gathering method of the Four Great Immortal Sects. After returning from Penglai, he was always holding hope in his heart. Said that he never gave up even before using the Soul Gathering Method, at this moment, he just wanted to run away.

When they arrived at the He Mansion, Chen Yuming showed his token without saying a word, and led them in without waiting for the servants to inform him. Today is New Year's Eve, and the He Mansion is full of lights and festoons, but there are very few people. The servants who brought them in People didn't dare to stop them, but they still followed them and said, "My lords, I'm going to inform the master right now, what's the matter with you?"

"You don't need to pass on your master, where is your young master? The one who just came back yesterday." Chen Yuming asked directly

"The third young master disappeared early this morning, and our whole house is looking for it!" said the servant

"It's gone!" Chen Yuming suddenly stopped and looked at him and said, "He just came back from the battlefield with a delirious mind. You can't even look down on such a wounded person!"

Compared with questioning, the tone of Chen Yuming's words was more like a reprimand from distress, and the servant was speechless for a moment: "This... my lord, the young master came back with injuries all over his body, and even his eyes are not very useful. We Everyone in the house is dedicated, and only dared to evacuate people after the young master fell asleep at night, but whoever wanted to go out around Yinshi."

"Eyes... then I think it must be because of that day..." Chen Yin felt more and more in line with the Tao

Several people looked at each other, and Chen Yuming said: "We will go to him. If there is any news from your house, go to the demon boss and report it immediately."

"Yes, thank you, my lords."

Several people left the He Mansion, and Su Qing said excitedly: "Kuye, people's hearts are the most vulnerable at this time, maybe...it's really because of the two souls... It should be after Kuye, when people's hearts are not too late The soul has taken over the body, and although I can't remember anything in a moment of confusion, I always feel that I shouldn't be there, so I leave for no reason."

Su Qing's analysis is exactly what everyone thinks, everything can be explained, Chen Yuming finally opened his mouth, and said emotionally: "I think he won't go too far, let's look for it quickly, don't let him go too far."

Needless to say, it is not difficult to find someone in Chang'an, and soon found out his whereabouts from the mouth of the third young master of the He Mansion this morning, and a few people followed the traces along the way. Dongshan.A few people went up from the foot of the mountain, and searched halfway up the mountain without finding any traces. At this moment, Chen Yuming pointed to a series of footprints and said suddenly:

"Here! Look!"

"Probably, the top of the mountain... let's go!" Shen Yin said anxiously

The four of them had never felt that the road was so long. Chen Yuming walked along the footprints and walked in the front. Although he kept silent, his anxious panting and reddish eye circles were enough to explain the togetherness. Finally, at the half-broken part of the cliff, several people saw Arrived at the third young master of He Mansion who shrank in one place.

"It's not too late..." Chen Yanming walked forward vigorously

Chen Yuming half-kneeled on the ground, supported the delirious human in front of him with both hands, and said, "It's not too late...Is it you..."

The man looked at Chen Yuming, his brows and eyes became tighter and tighter, and he hesitated: "You... who are you?"

"It's us, it's not too late! It's Senior Sister!" Shen Yin rushed over and said, "It's not too late, look at Senior Sister..."

The man withdrew his hand and subconsciously retreated and said, "Who is it not too late? What are you guys doing?"

Seeing his astonishment, several people couldn't help feeling suspicious. Bian Zechuan went over and knelt down and held his wrist firmly. The third young master of the He family still wanted to hide, but Bian Zechuan ignored him and poked him. There was a look of sadness and joy between the brows behind the pulse, and Chen Yuming asked further

"Zechuan, how are you doing?"

Bian Zechuan didn't say anything, he just took his pulse further, and the hearts of several people hung with him. After a long time, Bian Zechuan finally put down his hands, stood up and turned his back, and said, "He's not."

Su Qing didn't want to believe it: "But his symptoms are all in line! How could it not be..."

"Because he suffers from the disease of distracted mind." Bian Zechuan interrupted: "He may have been frightened on the battlefield, or something else. Late...Naturally it won't be late..."

Shen Yin suddenly fell to the ground, Chen Yuming's eyes were empty, all joyful expectations were shattered at this moment, Su Qing shook his head and said: "No...impossible, it must be..."

As he said that, Su Qing suddenly had a demonic tendon and said, "Even if he is reborn soon, he will be burdened with spiritual power. He will know if he tries it."

Before the few people had time to react, Su Qing had already swung his whip at the third young master of the He family, and with a scream, a blatant whip mark appeared on his arm, Su Qing frowned suddenly, and said in disbelief: "Why? ..does not heal..."

Ten thousand refining monster tendons will leave a mark on a mortal. If this person is not too late, the wound will heal by itself. This whip shows that this person is just an ordinary mortal. Su Qing gritted his teeth and wanted to give the second whip , pondering and tilting his head to hold back the tears

"Enough Su Qing! Wan Lian Yaojin can't make mistakes, he is just a mortal, there is absolutely no...the reason why he will recover after a second whip..."

Su Qing's teeth seemed to be crushed, even though he knew that what Shen Yin said was right, he still didn't want to believe it, but Bian Zechuan blocked him with his hand when he rushed over, saying: "It's useless..."

Su Qing looked at Bian Zechuan, clenched his fists and said, "Why not? You can't say no so easily! We have already cast spells in Penglai to gather souls, why not!"

"Anyone else is fine, as long as it's not too late!" Bian Zechuan roared in a low voice

Both Su Qing and Shen Yin were taken aback, Su Qing took a step back and said, "What do you know?"

Bian Zechuan's emotions that had been hidden for so long finally erupted at this moment. He gradually calmed down and became numb and said: "Ten thousand demons are not immortal and cannot be regenerated. It is not too late and I have known this for a long time. On the eve of the war, He asked me to hide it from you for him..."

Bian Zechuan was in a daze and said: "The method of gathering souls... I also hope that it will be useful, no one hopes it will be useful more than me! He died for us, but we cannot bring him back to life..."

Shen Yin staggered and got up and said: "So...hehe...It is equivalent to killing him with our own hands. What qualifications do we have to decide to exchange the death of one person for the lives of others?"

Seeing that Shen Yin was strong, Su Qing sneered, and reached out to help her who was unsteady, but Shen Yin waved his hand and looked at them and said: "Did he die because of the bat dragon, or because of us? He It’s not that we lied to us with the phrase resurrection, it’s that we lied to ourselves with the phrase resurrection, and we just gave ourselves an excuse to feel at ease!”

The four words of peace of mind pierced everyone's heart like a cold arrow. None of them felt at ease, but they were powerless to refute any of Shen Yin's words.Chen Yuming was so calm that it was frightening. After listening to all these words, he stretched out his hand and imagined colorless spiritual power to instantly heal the whip wounds of the third young master of the He Mansion. Then he got up slowly, shook his robe and said

"In the evening, at the New Year's Eve banquet, His Majesty ordered us to go to the palace to attend the banquet in order to reward the demon hunter for his achievements in society. Let's go back and make arrangements, and it's time to enter the palace."

The three of them were all surprised. His Majesty had intended to call for a reward since the Great War of Fengmo, but the rift between the royal family and the anti-monster had been self-evident for such a long time. In fact, no matter whether Li Zhi was deliberately cold or not, His Majesty knew it in his heart, so he did not summon him forcibly except for continuous rewards.

But Chen Yanming's sudden change of mood made everyone puzzled, and he frowned and said: "Xiaoming...what did you say?"

Chen Yuming passed by with his hands behind his back, paused and said: "Send the third son of the He Mansion back, today is New Year's Eve, don't ask others to wait."

"Ming!" Shen Yin shouted at his back

Chen Yuming's figure didn't move, and even the expression on his face didn't change at all. This ice-cold face was just as usual.

Guanglu New Year Banquet, Taichang singing and dancing, fine wine and jade liquid, and thousands of delicacies.

The land in the Tang Dynasty is full of tributes from all over the world, and a world-shattering protracted battle did not shake its status as a dynasty. Seeing the grand occasion of endless rituals and music and high tributes, the demon hunters did not feel any joy. The more flattery others allow, the more heinous they feel. Listening to these bureaucrats' understatement of the pillar of the country is as easy as when the red lips and white teeth call them evildoers on the day of disaster.

As for Mo Buwan's death, no one asked about it. These hypocrites first thought that Mo Buwan deserved to die because of Wan Moyin, and secondly, they were as clear as a mirror about the matter of Mo Buwan's death, and now they just want to whitewash the peace. At this time, this kind of thought was spread in front of everyone like rotten water, just like their hearts had long been corroded into hollows.

Li Zhi didn't mention the battle of Fengmo. Compared with everyone, he was perhaps the most unnatural person who had to pretend nothing had happened. Li Zhi and Wu Zetian drank frequently, and the lowly officials also kept toasting , I saw Li Zhi raised his glass again and said

"Come on, even though it's New Year's Eve today, I should also congratulate all the lovers of the demon arrest department. I can see the hard work of all the lovers. The iron-blooded department should really be a model for all officials to follow!"

"Yes, respect to Your Majesty the Queen of Heaven, respect to all the lords of the Demon Commander!" All the officials said in unison.

Chen Ximing and the others just followed the banquet, drank every glass of wine, but never heard a word.

At the end of the annual banquet, several people left the palace. On the way back to arrest the demon, no one rode a horse, so they walked back silently.When they arrived at the door, they all stopped for some reason, looking at the gold plaque above the gate, Su Qing snorted coldly and said:

"The Iron-Blooded Situ...has a name, hehehe..."

Stepping into the gate that has been walked countless times, with long lights in the corridor and silhouettes under the moon, several people came to the back garden. Last year and today are still in front of them, people are in front of them, and snow is also in front of them.

Chen Qiming brought several jars of wine from the room, and Bian Zechuan sat in front of the porch and drank half of the jars with his sleeves, saying: "Even if you say something different, I have to say that this is a decision that is not too late, and it is for the sake of the common people. ..”

Shen Yin sat in another place, wiped the wine from his lips, and couldn't help laughing, but the laughter became more and more cold: "Mongsheng? We are all for ourselves."

Bian Zechuan said numbly: "We are still dead after all... all dead... we lost, a crushing defeat..."

When the candle was half alight, Chen Ximing looked at the wine jars all over the floor, and the words that Mobuwan leaned on his side seemed to ring in his ears, staring and saying: "Every snow in Chang'an, how should I accompany you?" look?"

Chen Xingming looked at them and said, "Do you believe that there is retribution in this world? This is our retribution."

"Yeah..." Shen Yin whispered

After sobbing for a while, Su Qing put down the wine jar in his hand and said silently: "Young master, I'm going back to the clan, Chang'an... Tianjia's scheming is hard to fathom, and I dare not live at the feet of the emperor."

"Maybe it's best for me to leave here. I don't want to see the people and things I used to do, especially myself. It makes me feel sick." Shen said

"Shen Yin...you know I want you to be with me..." Su Qing looked at her and said affectionately

Shen Yin got up and gave a long sigh, Bian Zechuan also got up slowly and walked over, Su Qing knew that the two of them also had the intention of leaving, so he also got up and walked to them. The same as when the company, thin clothes Xiaoxiao.

He held the mouthful of blood rushing from his heart, swallowed it slowly, raised his hand and said in a polite manner: "Young master, this farewell, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, the grace of support and protection in the past is still there today, only things are different and people are different. We are physically and mentally damaged, and we don't know how to serve Datang in the coldness of the world. The young master Wanwang, the years will not hurt."

Chen Yuming looked up at them. At this moment, he may have already thought of it in his heart. From the time when the demon hunter was severely injured one by one, from the time when they sacrificed to all living beings, from when he was calm and natural at the imperial banquet, it was not too late to be reborn It was the last line of psychological defense for all of them, and now, it was finally broken.

"For the sake of satisfying all the people in the world, this is just my own wish, Chen Yuming. For this kind of love, you followed me to the battlefield, fought for the court, did all kinds of things that you shouldn't do, and gave up a thousand kinds of comfort. Life." These words have always been in Chen Ximing's heart, he has never said them, and now they are still the voice of his heart.

Why doesn't he understand that they are also hot-blooded and hard to cool, and why doesn't he understand that what they said is not only the grace of "supporting and protecting", but now looking at them, when crying, he can only say the aftermath of his heart half way

"These friendships...I know all about it...I'm sorry...I want to keep everything I want to keep, but I ruined it."

In the end, he was the only one left for the demon hunter. Chen Yuming was drunk and cried, his voice was surging in his chest, and the sound of tears bursting into a bank laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, ahhahahaha... come! This cup! Toast to Li Tangsheng| Shi! Haiyan Heqing, another cup...toast me, Chen Yuming, in this life...no one can love you."

When I was drunk and dreaming, I seemed to have returned to the night after the battle... That night, on the ridge of the roof, Chen Yuming looked at the vast starry sky and said: "The sky is the same, but Chang'an is prosperous, and the fireworks are glazed." Where there are places, these natural beauties do not stand out so much."

"That's right, people always like luxurious and gorgeous things." Mo Wuwan said

"What about you?" Chen Yuming looked at him and said, "What do you like?"

"Huh? Where?"

Chen Yuming thought for a while and said, "In the future, what kind of life do you like?"

Mo Buwan propped his arms back on the eaves, thought for a while and said: "There is a deep courtyard in a secluded place, half a volume of idle books and half a lamp."

Nuo the big demon hunter only has his weak voice lying on the ground drunk, "No one will hold the sword with me...No one...with me...Evening and morning."
