On the cliff of Qingshan Mountain, Li Ke dug a grave for his grandfather with his own hands behind the cliff and buried the old man here.
From now on, the other party will always be with the rising sun and the wind.
"Don't be sad, his wish has been fulfilled, there are no regrets," Qingchen said calmly.
Li Ke wiped his tears with the back of his hand: "Well, I understand, it's just hard to let go. Grandpa has always been very serious, but when I was very young, he severely reprimanded my father. When my father lowered his head in shame,
When my father was not paying attention, he would secretly give me candy and wink at me, asking me to keep the secret. In fact, he has never been a strict person, but his position requires him to do so.
.”
Qingchen sighed: "He spent his whole life playing a role that he didn't want to play, but he played it very well."
Li Ke stood up, and Qingchen led him back to the cliff of Qingshan. He pointed to the words on the ground and said: "Young forever, this is what the old man longs for most in his life, but it does not mean longevity, but longevity.
Always young, always sincere, always full of tears, always eager to hit the road. Don’t be bound by those interests. Knights are born to be the most romantic people in the world with their lonesome courage.”
Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu looked at the carvings on the ground silently.
Suddenly I understood why Qingchen said that as long as everyone walks on this road, they will involuntarily agree with the knight's belief.
In fact, the eight life-and-death challenges are not so much a path of cultivation, but a path where knights use the most stringent conditions to select their fellow travelers.
Qingchen looked back at the giant tree that covered the sky and the sun and sighed: "The longer we walk on this road, the more we can understand the expectations that the founder placed on every knight when he wrote these four words of eternal youth.
"
At a certain moment, the young man thought deeply.
It's not so much that he accompanied the old man for a walk.
It would be better to say that the old man used the afterglow of his life and all his regrets to carry him on a journey.
The last time, Li Shutong took him on a journey to make up for the scars of the past 17 years of his life.
This time, the old man took him on a journey and spent his last moments teaching him what was most precious to him at this moment.
At this moment, there was applause in the woods: "This is a death worthy of the Master of the Li family. Instead of lying in the mountainside manor, it is better to watch the sunset and the morning sun here. I just bowed to the old man,
I had no respect for him before, but now I do."
Qingchen and the others looked back, and were shocked to see the shadow of Qing, who was wearing a black sweatshirt, a black peaked cap, and a black mask, walking out while applauding.
Occasionally I would cough twice.
If it weren't for the familiar coughing sound, Qingchen might not even be sure that Mr. Qing's shadow was here.
It seems like every time I see the other person, it's always in the dark.
This was the first time Qing's shadow was willing to stand in the sunshine and talk to him.
Thin, this is Qingchen's deepest impression.
Qing's shadow smiled and said: "When people reach middle age, they start to worry about their children and grandchildren. After you die, your children and grandchildren will come to your grave to worship and ask for your continued blessing. If your children and grandchildren do not do well, maybe you will
It will feel that you are buried in the wrong place, so I will dig it out for you and change the feng shui. Therefore, it is good to sleep here. I want to come here after I die. If I can quarrel with the old guys in the forbidden place No. 002, then
I’ll probably be happier.”
Qingchen looked at Qing's shadow: "The civil war in the Federation should have started at this moment, but you still have the time to come to Forbidden Land No. 002?"
Qing's shadow smiled: "Does the civil war have anything to do with me?"
"Doesn't it matter?" Qingchen wondered.
"I have done everything I need to do for this war in advance. When the war really starts, there will be nothing left for me to do," Qing's shadow said with a smile.
This is actually a very strange kind of confidence.
It's like after thirteen moves in a chess game, the outcome of the game has already been decided, even if no more moves are needed.
For some reason, Qingchen always felt that he and this shadow of the Qing family had some similarities. Both of them seemed to like to make preparations first. This was a kind of deep-rooted character that was prepared for danger in times of peace.
But Qingchen's current vision and ability are still unable to reach the height of Shadow.
"Can the Li family and the Qing family win?" Qingchen asked.
Shadow smiled and said: "The Li family doesn't know, but the Qing family can. When strategizing, you must make preparations in advance, so that you can be more calm."
"I understand," Qingchen nodded.
The shadow is the shadow of the Qing family. Even if the Li family and the Qing family are allies, the shadow is only responsible for the Qing family's victory in this war.
You can even win the Li family's victory.
This is the consortium.
"Did Li's reverse travel plan succeed?" Qingchen asked.
When he returned last time, Li's time walkers even went directly to the island country. Qingchen knew that those time walkers must not only burn down a shrine, but must have a bigger plan.
Shadow thought for a while and replied: "Currently, there are 8 successful candidates screened by the Gods and Kashima. There should be some who have not been screened... However, even if they are screened, there is no problem. After the war,
Li Shi replaced 8 important positions in one breath. The negative impact of such a sudden change of leadership was far greater than imagined. I have to say that Li Shi is quite a powerful time traveler in the watch world, which makes me
very interested."
"By the way, do you know that Kamishiro Tougo who was responsible for assassinating Li Changqing in City 18?" Shadow asked.
"I know," Qingchen nodded.
Shadow smiled and said: "He did not escape from City No. 18. Li found his replacement in the island country in the outer world and sent him to Luo City in your outer world. Now, he has been replaced. I was still wondering why Li Changqing
If you don’t chase him, you’re waiting here. This woman is so interesting. She seems to have guessed that Kamishiro Tougo will continue to hide in City 18.”
Qingchen was shocked. He had previously thought that the person who replaced the Shendai family would have to be sent to the island country, but he did not expect that Li Changqing was so smart and sent the person to the mainland.
This time, Li's counterattack seemed to be more ferocious than that of Jindai and Kashima.
However, Shadow investigated these matters so clearly, which also shows that Qing's intelligence system is powerful enough!
In their conversation, Shadow and Qingchen never mentioned the identity of Qing's Shadow. Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu could only be confused and did not even know the identity of this uninvited guest.
Qing's shadow: "Hey, the two boys next to you should go play in the mud first. Qingchen and I have something to talk about."
This Mr. Shadow doesn't seem to want people to know Qingchen's identity as a shadow candidate.
At this time, Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke looked at Qingchen subconsciously, and they left obediently until Qingchen nodded.
Qingchen thought for a while: "No matter how well prepared you are, it will always be a bit surprising if you don't pay attention to bigger things at such an important time and instead pay attention to me."
"Who said I'm here to pay attention to you?" Shadow said with a smile: "I'm here to see if the members of the Freemasonry can successfully reach the place where the spades are. This is a very important part of my future plan, and it is also my
This is my first time working with Spades, so I naturally want to come and have a look.”
Qingchen didn't deny it, but he was very sure that the other party was here just for him.
Shadow sat silently on the edge of the green mountain cliff: "Is the rising sun here really so beautiful? Even people like Li Xiurui want to take a look before leaving. Do you know what Li Xiurui has done in his life? He took over
When the Li family was in power, the Li family was actually already showing signs of decline. In terms of minerals and energy, his father lost a very important game to the Chen family and was about to decline. As a result, this great talent came to power.
Later, he abruptly reversed the situation and drove the Chen family out of City No. 18. It is really ironic that such a person is the forced head of the family."
"By the way, the master from the Kamishiro family is dead. I underestimated Li Yunjing, and Li Xiurui also underestimated Li Yunjing. He even arranged for two A-levels to kill Kamishiro Yunshan. In fact, Li Yunjing himself is enough. Fortunately, he will be there soon.
It would be quite difficult to break away from the Li family. This is a person who has the opportunity to covet the position of demigod."
This shadow is sitting in the mountain breeze, with its legs hanging out of the cliff, as leisurely as if it is melting into the mountain breeze.
He doesn't look like a powerful figure at all.
Qingchen thought for a while and sat down next to him.
The shadow turned and glanced at him: "Sometimes I really want to kill you. For example, if I push you down a 600-meter green mountain cliff right now, you will definitely die."
"Why do you want to kill me?" Qingchen asked.
"When you die, someone will be very angry. The thought of making this person angry makes me very happy," Shadow said calmly.
Qingchen was stunned for a moment, he did not expect that Qing's shadow had murderous intentions towards him.
When the other party was talking about murder, his expression was calm, as if he was asking, "Have you had dinner tonight?" It seemed that this kind of thing was more common than eating.
Qingchen thought for a while: "If I die now, many people will be angry. I wonder who Mr. Shadow is talking about?"
"Anyway, it's not Li Shutong, just Li Changqing," Qing's shadow said with a smile.
"Is 'Qingchen''s original blood relative in the other world?" Qingchen asked.
Qing's shadow glanced at him: "You are quite calm, knowing that you can't hide it, so you revealed your identity as a time traveler."
"Well," Qingchen nodded: "The Qing family's shadow is in charge of the huge Qing family intelligence system. How could he not know my identity as a time walker? I'm just a little curious, what is your relationship with the original Qing Chen?"
Qing's shadow smiled: "The plot has to be revealed bit by bit to be interesting. How could I do something so boring as spoilers? Don't worry, you will know everything one day. Don't be anxious, don't rush to open the book.
the last page."
Once upon a time, Qingchen guessed that Qing's shadow might be 'Qingchen's' father, but he doesn't think so now.
However, he was still not sure what the relationship between this shadow and him was. If he had been a close relative, he would have killed himself to avenge 'Qingchen'.
Shadow did have murderous intentions towards him, but it was not because of this.
This is very strange, like a mathematical conjecture that cannot be proven yet.
Qingchen did not ask any more related questions, but asked about other things: "Do you control the Freemasonry? Are the other time walkers controlled by the Qing family also under your command?"
The Qing family's shadow nodded: "Yes, there is only one person in the Qing family who can control the time walker, and that is me."
Qingchen nodded, then Huan Yu must be from the Chen family.
If Huan Yu belonged to the Qing family, it would be impossible for him to mobilize so many time walkers.
"The time walkers of the God's Generation, Kashima, Li's, and Chen's have all made moves in the surface world. Why is there no movement at all from the Qing's?" Qingchen asked.
"Do you think I will tell you?" Qing's shadow said with a smile: "Do you have any ideas about Qing's time walker? How about this, you promise me to go to the Secret Intelligence Department, and then you go to the Secret Intelligence Department
On the day of the report, I will hand over the Freemasonry to you first. This deal should be a good deal, right?"
This time, Qing's Shadow's deal finally had a substantive commitment, rather than just drawing a big pie.
You must know that Freemasonry is an organization composed of time walkers with high IQs. This kind of organization is so malleable that if used properly, it will have miraculous effects.
"I'll think about it," Qingchen still replied.
Shadow raised his eyebrows: "It's really difficult to get you into the game."
Qingchen suddenly said: "I want to think about when to report to the Secret Service."
Shadow smiled and stood up: "If you want to quit after entering the game, it's not up to you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the woods behind the cliff, as if this was the only purpose of his trip.
Halfway through, the shadow turned back and said: "I want to remind you that the reverse travel plan of the Jindai family and the Kashima family is not as simple as what you see now. You should know that they have completed the first nerve
There will definitely be new attempts to seize the body in the Yuan Dynasty in the future. They have many more time walkers in their hands than we do, and as far as I know, they still have masters hidden in your world."
"Thanks for the reminder," Qingchen nodded.
Qing's shadow walked into the woods, raised his hand to open the shadow door, stepped in, and disappeared.
Qingchen was thinking that the condition for opening the Shadow Door must be in the shadows, otherwise the other party would not have to return to the woods.
Hu Xiaoniu and Li Ke saw the shadow leaving and came back: "Master, who was that person just now?"
Qingchen shook his head: "It's not time to tell you yet."
"Then where are we going now?" Hu Xiaoniu asked.
"Go rescue the members of the Freemasonry," Qingchen said.
"Ah? Why should we save them?" Li Ke was puzzled: "We are not familiar with them either."
Qingchen did not explain that this was part of his shadow deal with the Qing family, so he could not let the Freemasonry lose too many people.
This is his property!
Return countdown 4:00:00.
Forbidden Place No. 002 at 8 o'clock at night.
The junction of hinterland and edge.
Guo Huchan sat against a tangled tree root and looked at the Freemasons next to him.
However, although the members of the Freemasons were tired, they did not complain about anything. They encouraged each other and even maintained an optimistic mental state.
He whispered to Yangyang beside him, who was closing his eyes and concentrating: "The overall quality of this group of time walkers is quite good. It seems that none of them need to be persuaded to return."
"Well," Yangyang opened her eyes: "This is the best group of students in the world of No. 18 City Correspondence Table. They have brains, courage, an optimistic attitude, and strong learning ability. With this kind of team entering
The town we rebuilt can help it grow quickly."
For Spade, although they say everyone is welcome on the surface, how could they not conduct a screening process for Freemasons?
Even if there is no Federal Army to pursue them, they will find excuses later to ask the students to abandon their means of transportation and carry out a 200-kilometer trek on foot as a test.
However, there is only one thing that needs to be worried about. This is the person arranged by the Qing's Shadow. Although the other party has expressed great goodwill, Spades still needs to confirm how much influence the Qing's Shadow has on Freemasonry.
.
"Are there many such student organizations in the outside world?" Guo Huchan asked.
"Yes, but not many," Yangyang thought for a while and replied: "For example, there is one in Haicheng corresponding to city No. 7, and I am also a member of it. There seems to be one in Beijing, and the leader is still a chosen one, but I have always
We can’t determine who this leader is, he is very mysterious.”
"Students are generally passionate and not tainted with the worldly atmosphere. The more we have contact with such an organization, the better. This will be hard work for you," Guo Huchan said.
"It's nothing hard," Yangyang said with a smile, "This is also what I want to do."
At this time, the big bald man whispered: "You and that Qingzade..."
Yangyang was surprised: "You are such a tall person, why are you so gossipy? Does it fit your image?"
Guo Huchan was a little embarrassed: "Who doesn't gossip..."
Yangyang stood up and said: "Let's go, the Federal Army is approaching again, we have to continue on our way quickly."
After speaking, she waved to the Freemasons, beckoning them to get up and follow her.
The Freemasons did not hesitate. Although they were extremely tired, they still encouraged each other to set off again.
The team was moving very fast, and the federal army behind them was also chasing them very quickly.
But the Federal Army seemed to be in no rush to launch an attack, as if it had to drag the Freemasons and Spades to exhaustion first.
This is standard hunting behavior and a group of experienced hunters.
Guo Huchan muttered: "Yangyang, your perception range should be wider, so that we can avoid them early."
At this moment, distant gunshots suddenly rang out in the forbidden forest behind them.
The sound of the gunshot was far away, but it was too abrupt in this silent, forbidden place.
Guo Huchan suddenly raised his head, who dared to use a gun in the forbidden land?!
This is Taboo Place No. 002, and one of the rules is that the use of firearms is prohibited!
Someone once said that the reason why there are "no use of drones" and "no use of firearms" in Forbidden Land No. 002 is to prevent people who do evil things from entering.
Guo Huchan looked at Yangyang: "The Federal Army knows the taboos. Could it be that Qingzade is here to help you, but he doesn't know the rules."
Because specific rules cannot be discussed in a forbidden place, Guo Huchan's words were very vague.
Except for the knights, no one knew that becoming a knight was the containment rule of No. 002 Forbidden Land, so even Yangyang became worried.
However, the first thing Yangyang looked at were the Masonic students.
The immediate reaction of these students was to raise their index fingers to warn each other not to discuss.
These high-IQ students knew very well that it was easy to violate the rules when discussing anything at this time, so they did not make the lowest mistakes.
Seeing this scene, Yangyang nodded. The quality of these elite students in Luo City is indeed very high.
Nangong Yuanyu looked at Guo Huchan: "Excuse me, are the people from Spades fighting?"
"No," Guo Huchan said with a frown, "We can't be sure who it is. It may be those people who traveled with us before."
No one would come to the Forbidden Land with nothing to do, and no one would help Spades with nothing to do!
Guo Huchan said: "How about we leave first?"
Yangyang shook his head: "You go first, I'll take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked slowly from the depths of the forest. The sound of footsteps stepping on broken leaves was quiet and mysterious.
Everyone in the Freemasonry and Spades looked towards where the sound came from, and were shocked to find that the figures of Li Ke and others were slowly emerging from the shadows.
Everyone looked over subconsciously, as if their eyes were glued to the hands of Li Ke and others, staring at the firearms in their hands and unable to move away.
After getting closer, everyone even smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke on the three of them.
That's the inevitable smell after pulling the trigger.
"These are the three people who shot just now!" Guo Huchan thought to himself.
But he didn't understand.
Everyone has clearly confirmed countless times that firearms are not allowed in Forbidden Land No. 002, but the three people in front of them don't seem to be affected by the rules!
Why?
In fact, most people in this world don't know that forbidden places can actually be contained.
Because very few people have taken it in!
People who have been taken into custody will also hide the secrets of the shelter in their hearts!
Yangyang looked at 'Qingzade': "Did you and the Federal Army just have a battle?"
"Yes," Qingchen nodded and smiled: "They seemed to have the same confusion as you, so they retreated temporarily with a little hesitation. Next, I will send you all out of the forbidden place No. 002, so that you will not get lost here and make mistakes.
Into the hinterland.”
Judging from the danger level in the hinterland, if a Freemason accidentally walks in, he will probably die 90% of the time.
Qi Duo, a Freemason, hesitated and asked, "Would it be too much trouble for everyone?"
In fact, he wanted to ask: Why are you so kind to us, and why are you so kind to send everyone out of the forbidden place?
After all, everyone is not familiar with it.
Qingchen smiled and said: "No trouble, Xiao Niu told me that you are friends, so it's okay to help your friends."
Qi Duo and others were stunned for a moment and looked at Hu Xiaoniu, thinking that Xiaoniu was really a good person. As a servant, he actually asked his employer to help them!
They looked at Qingchen again, only to find that he was looking at them with a smile, very kind.
It's like looking at the gold coins that you have treasured for many years...
…
Two chapters in one.
I attended the Science Fiction Forum in Shanghai today, and I was in a bit of a hurry. I used my mobile phone to finish coding today at the venue, and I will thank all the bosses tomorrow.
