The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

Juyanhe City is only two days away from Yangcheng, and is very close to the front line of the war, but the life here is still peaceful and stable, and it seems that it is not affected by the war at all.

Xu Qingfeng looked around curiously in the carriage, and expressed his thoughts.Chen Ke smiled, pinched the back of Xu Qingfeng's neck, and showed him the things placed in front of each door.

"Hoes?" Xu Qingfeng avoided Chen Ke's hand, felt a tingling sensation on the back of his neck, and hurriedly looked out of the window to divert his attention: "Eh? There are still sticks, iron...weapon?"

Chen Ke nodded, and couldn't help pinching the back of Xu Qingfeng's neck again. Seeing him shrinking his neck like a cat, he couldn't help but evoked a smile.

Wusuli, who came to pick them up, was walking on the left side of the carriage. Hearing Xu Qingfeng's words, he explained: "Juyanhe City is half Han and half non-Chinese. The largest clan is our Wuqi clan. War is coming, we don't want to Migrating and trekking again, determined to shed blood for the homeland, now that the princes have seen the Juyan River, many people have already left."

Xu Qingfeng was a little surprised. He didn't expect the population of Juyanhe City to be so large. After walking for a while, Xu Qingfeng suddenly found that he saw very few men along the way.

Wusuli nodded and said: "The men left for more than half yesterday to deliver food and grass in Yangcheng."

The battle situation in Yangcheng is unclear, and this matter is also on Xu Qingfeng's heart, but he doesn't know how long the three armies of Cao's army in Yangcheng can last.

Seeing the defeat of Yangcheng, Cao's first army, second army, fourth army and sixth army stationed on the frontier did not dare to act rashly. There are groups of cunning hungry wolves guarding outside the border. The seventh and eighth armies of the Cao family came to support, and Kangzhou was east of Qianzhou, so it might take some time.

Xu Qingfeng was so thoughtful, he didn't say anything in the end, put down the curtain and moved to Chen Ke's side, sat down next to Chen Ke, changed his position after a while, and harassed Chen Ke after making a fuss by himself.

Chen Ke held a military map in his hand, and he drew several routes on it with his hand, but Xu Qingfeng was uneasy, so Chen Ke reached out and pulled him into his arms: "Tired from sitting?"

Xu Qingfeng nodded, "It's going to fall apart." First, he was seriously injured and could only lie down, and when he recovered, he rode in a carriage all day. He really suffered, but fortunately, he finally arrived at Juyanhe City.

After arriving at Juyan River City, he will be able to see the master of law immediately. Xu Qingfeng is in high spirits. The closer he is to Juyan River City, the more energetic Xu Qingfeng will be. ——

Just wait for the master of the law to come back to life, rescue Chen Ke, or give them some advice on how to find the golden bell flower.

Xu Qingfeng and Ben didn't consider other situations, and regarded holding the law as the last hope. They didn't even dare to think about the situation where the golden bell flower could not be found, and Chen Ke was not allowed to mention it.

Chen Ke has been trying to build Xu Qingfeng's heart, Xu Qingfeng accepts it on the surface, but he is always afraid and resisting in his heart, Chen Ke can only be patient, afraid that Xu Qingfeng will fall into worry.

They all know how Chen Ke's poison came from, and if they don't mention it, it doesn't mean they have forgotten it.If no antidote can be found, Xu Qingfeng will never live alone, and Chen Ke knows his temper well.

The speed of the carriage in the city slowed down a lot, bouncing leisurely, Xu Qingfeng lay in Chen Ke's arms for a while, then struggled to get up again, opened the curtain to look at the street view on both sides.

"Why are you so noisy?" Chen Ke couldn't see the map for a long time, so he simply threw it aside, deliberately squeezed Xu Qingfeng by the window, and looked out the window with him, "You are so agile?"

"Okay, okay..." Xu Qingfeng felt that Chen Ke's words were spraying in his ears, and the weather was strangely hot, so he dodged aside, "Don't hold me back."

"Didn't you say that the pain was severe last night?" Chen Ke looked at him with a half-smile.

Xu Qingfeng froze, a little awkwardly, last night it was a shallow kiss, but somehow the gun went off, Xu Qingfeng thought that he would have to ride in a carriage the next day, so he used the wound on his stomach as a shield , but Xu Qingfeng wanted to raise the bar unwillingly, "Then my hands are still sore..."

He said, in the end he felt embarrassed, his ears were red, it was the shy look that Chen Ke was familiar with.

Thinking that Xu Qingfeng was his own alone, Chen Ke felt satisfied and stopped teasing him with words.Xu Qingfeng's injuries were all changed by him himself, and he knew exactly how the injuries were.

A large courtyard can be seen in the distance, with a bald boy and a young girl standing at the door.

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, Tian Wen called out to Xu Qingfeng, ran from the door to the carriage, waited for Xu Qingfeng to lift the curtain with a smile, and looked at his face nervously.

Seeing that Xu Qingfeng was not as haggard as when they parted, Tian Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted Chen Ke politely.Aman also stood aside, winked at Zuo Ming first, then looked at the people in the carriage with a smile.

Chen Ke got off the carriage first, then turned around to help Xu Qingfeng.Xu Qingfeng actually didn't need him to help him, but when Chen Ke raised his eyebrows, he obediently put his hand on Chen Ke's palm.

Tian Wen's eyes turned around between the two, and when he met Xu Qingfeng's shining eyes full of hope, he hurriedly avoided it, and said before Xu Qingfeng said: "Uncle Lawyer, please ask the prince to come over for a while." Syria."

Chen Ke and Xu Qingfeng stepped forward, but Tian Wen held Xu Qingfeng, and said in a somewhat stumbling manner: "Master, Master Uncle, only let the prince go there alone."

After Tianwen finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qingfeng nervously. Chen Ke already understood, and squeezed Xu Qingfeng's hand, "Go and rest for a while."

Xu Qingfeng shook Chen Ke's hand back, then let go, and said, "Okay..."

Chen Ke followed Tianwen to the depths of the compound. Unexpectedly, Tianwen took him all the way through the entire courtyard, went out through the back door, stepped on a winding path, and walked for another quarter of an hour before arriving at a In front of a grass shed.

The hut is on a high ground, there is no road behind, it is a low cliff, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, it is a vast desert.

A silent expanse of loess, a year of cloudless blue sky, with the sun high and steaming.

In a small shadow under the thatched shed, a person sat cross-legged in meditation with his eyes closed.His face is fair, and the wrinkles are like shallow lines on his face. On his calm face, the years only dare to crawl quietly, not daring to disturb.His eyebrows are as long as his shoulders, his beard is as long as his navel, and his ears are extremely thick and long.

Chen Ke paused, looking at the face of the old man in the shed, wondering—isn't this the old monk he met when he walked out of the fog after his death?It was he who stretched out his hand and pushed Chen Ke back to Taiheng Palace from the mist.

When Tian Wen came close, he bowed respectfully and said, "Abbot of the Law, King Ren is here."

Chi Lu slowly opened his eyes, the color of his pupils was not dark, but his expression of neither joy nor sadness was filled with natural compassion. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Chen Ke's gaze.

Chen Ke saluted with concentration: "Chen Ke, a good man, has met the master of the law."

Chi Lu didn't say a word, Tian Wen saluted again, and went back the same way. When Tian Wen's figure disappeared at the end of the path, Chi Lu stood up and saluted, and said: "The poor monk sees King Ren."

Chen Ke had already remembered the temple after the heavy fog, which was the view of Wushan Temple. Chen Ke pursed his lips, and tentatively said, "But the master saved my life?"

Shilu shook his head, "The Stone of Life and Death saved your life, it has nothing to do with the poor monk."

Chen Ke was silent for a while, and Shilu was not in a hurry to speak. After a while, Chen Ke said, "If the poison occurs, can the stone of life and death save another member of my palace?"

Shilu responded: "Several years ago, Mr. Xu asked the poor monk for the stone of life and death. The stone of life and death has limited power. It has already saved the lives of the benefactor Xu and the prince. I am afraid that it has reached its limit."

"What's the solution to the poison on my body?"

"Only by finding the golden bell flower can there be a chance of survival."

"If you can't find it..."

"The fate of the prince has changed, life and death are inextricable, the future is unpredictable, God's will is unpredictable, and the poor monk is helpless."

"Uh..." Although I had already prepared myself psychologically, I was still disappointed when I heard Chi Lv say that I was helpless. "The master asked me to come here alone, but there are other instructions?"

"The King Jin's case, has it ever been reviewed?"

"It has been investigated, but failed." Chen Ke briefly talked about the investigation after returning to Beijing, and when he said Yan Keqing, Chi Lv frowned.

"It was Master Yan who forced him to go to Wushan Temple, so the poor monk handed over the Stone of Life and Death to Master Huixin of Xiangguo Temple, and he handed it to Master Xu."

Chen Ke looked at Chi Lv without any trace. What does Chi Lv mean in his words, is the stone of life and death his property?And Yan Keqing, has been looking for the stone of life and death a few years ago?

"Who is the master?"

"Before escaping into Buddhism, the poor monk's common name is Zhou Yan."

Chen Ke was taken aback.Zhou Yan, the eldest son of the first emperor Zhaodi of the Zhou Dynasty, was rumored to have been established as the prince first, then deposed and confined in the cold palace.If this is really Zhou Yan, he should be overdue.

Thinking of the silk book on Xu Qingfeng's body when he found it outside Songjiang Town, Chen Ke asked again: "Is the stone of life and death the secret treasure of the Zhou family?"

It is written in the silk script that those who get the secret treasure will win the world, and hope that the descendants of the Zhou family will find the secret treasure, so Xu Qingfeng always thought that what he was wearing around his neck was just an ordinary stone, until Aman said it was the stone of life and death, and guarded it in Shangfeng Town. After taking Xu Qingfeng's life, the two really believed in the existence of the stone of life and death.

Shi Lv shook his head and denied: "Zhou's secret treasure is called Tianji Stone. It is huge in size, and the fragments taken from Tianji Stone also have supernatural powers. They are scattered among the people, so they are called Life and Death Stones."

"Where is the Tianji Stone?"

"Hundreds of years ago it was lost."

"lost?"

"In the Zhou clan, only the wizards can keep the Tianji Stones, and they can combine their spiritual consciousness with the Tianji Stones, so the universe is under control. It's just that after the battle of Qi, the wizards at that time worked day and night to benefit our clan. On the first day Da Zhou sat in the mountains and rivers, he died of exhaustion, and the Tianji Stone disappeared without a trace."

At that time, Zhou Yan, who held the law back then, was conferred the crown prince upon birth, and that wizard was his master. After the master died, Zhou Yan took over the position of wizard, but the Tianji Stone disappeared.

He became the first wizard in the Zhou family without a secret stone.Participating in Dayan, the test is easy to count, Zhou Yan analyzed his own numerology, ignored everyone's opposition, chose to escape into Buddhism, and was only eight years old when he walked up the Wushan Mountain.

Chen Ke noticed that Shilu's eyes were very empty, the kind of emptiness that sees through everything, showing fatigue, and looking for relief.

"The poor monk led the prince to the west for the purpose of war. God's will guides the flames of war, and only the benevolent king can calm down." Chi Lv said.

Chen Ke frowned and said nothing.I heard all kinds of rumors about holding the law before, and they were all amazing.

When he was in Wushan, the first letter that Shilu asked Shijie to hand over was written "Goodbye by fate";

When he was in Chuzhou, Shilu sent him a second letter, which reminded him to investigate the case of King Jin. This series of things really made Chen Ke think that Shilu was different from ordinary people.

But in fact, in order to get rid of the poison, Chen Ke made up his mind to go to Wushan Temple after waking up, and the letter of the law caught his attention.

But the meaning is not clear, and then the Wushan Temple was slaughtered, and the second letter from the law hinted at Chen Ke's next move, which is why Chen Ke decided to go west, not only to find the master of the law, but also to find the golden bell flower.

After rebirth, Chen Keming made many decisions that were completely different from before, and met many people he hadn't met before, but looking back now, he seemed to be walking on a planned road.

And the law-holder is the one who defines the road.
