Wang Kunlun rushed from Xiangjiatun to the Forbidden City. Wang Xuanzhen set up a formation at the old tombs in Xishan. Xiang Que looked at the dozens of solitary tombs with his hands behind his back. For a moment, he felt a little overwhelmed. He didn't know whether he would go left or right next moment.
Walking to the right, just like the two pictures of Yama with the Ten Halls, the left hand is for life and the right hand is for death.
"Pah!" Wang Xuanzhen took two cigarettes in his mouth, lit them, and gave one to Xiang Que: "I've known you for almost three years, and this is the first time I've seen you so nervous and restless? This is a bit unlike you.
You're so cool. I remember when we ran into traps several times and were almost killed. We didn't even frown at that time. You haven't even started yet, but the atmosphere has become a little tense."
"Bata, bah" Xiang Que took a few puffs of cigarette silently and said: "Today is different from the past, fat man, before you got married and had a son, you dared to take risks, now I ask you to be a desperate Saburo, how can you still
Do you dare?"
"Thinking about the whole family, I might have to give up," Wang Xuanzhen said with an honest nod.
Xiang Que grinned happily: "Isn't that right? My parents are still in need of me, Chen Xia and Wanwan. You said that the next moment you knew that you would either step into the abyss or everything would be fine, you were nervous.
Are you not nervous? Are you hesitant? People, the longer you live, the more you have to worry about. No one is exempt from vulgarity. How many people can really be like those enlightened monks who completely take life and death seriously?"
Cao Shanjun scratched his head and suddenly interjected: "Although I know that I can still be reincarnated in the next life, I will still be afraid if you ask me to die now. I can't help it, because I always feel that life is beautiful."
Hearing Cao Shanjun's words, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at each other and smiled. This Living Buddha, who has died and lived and died again, has a sudden death problem, so why not the others?
The three of them stood on the top of the ice-covered mountain and waited for a long time. Suddenly, an auspicious cloud flashed past in the southeast direction of the Shenyang Forbidden City. Even from such a distance, they could see that after the auspicious cloud passed, the clouds in the sky actually gathered into a long dragon.
It's spectacular.
This scene was seen by many citizens, but almost all of them thought it was just a coincidence. In the Northeast in winter, the weather is already cloudy and changeable. It is not unusual for the clouds to move back and forth and form various states, but this time it is even worse.
It's just vivid, the long dragon-like clouds quickly dispersed quietly after gathering.
Wang Xuanzhen said attentively: "The formation eye has been opened, it's coming, it's coming."
Wang Xuanzhen quickly activated the Dragon-Inducing Feng Shui Formation, and the entire mountain range of Xishan trembled slightly. Feng Shui can indeed cause changes in mountains, rivers, and rivers. It is said that Feng Shui masters long ago were able to change the landscape of mountains and rivers, such as Gui Guzi in the Qin Dynasty.
master.
Wang Xuanzhen held the compass in his hand, and the pointer rotated rapidly. The breeze blew from all directions and gradually the sound of dragons roared.
"Kang..."
Beneath the surface, a steady stream of dragon energy is gathering towards the old tomb in Xishan, converging into several formation eyes. When the formation eyes are filled with dragon energy, the dragon soul-sealing formation will soon take shape.
After a while, the rapid rotation of the compass pointer in Wang Xuanzhen's hand began to show signs of slowing down, and both his and Xiang Que's expressions became a bit ugly.
"The eyes were sealed too quickly this time, and not even a third of the dragon's energy was attracted," Wang Xuanzhen said with a frown.
Xiang Que placed the dragon ball in his hand on the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron: "It's time for it to come on stage."
The dragon energy in this dragon ball was extracted from twenty-four dragon veins over many years. Xiang Que has held it in his hand for almost a year and he doesn't know how much dragon energy it can contain, but he estimates that he can activate the dragon.
The large formation should not be a problem.
The dragon-suppressing cauldron was placed on the ground. Wang Xuanzhen aimed to draw the dragon's energy towards the dragon bead. Suddenly, a radiant light inside the bead began to rotate rapidly. Then it seemed to explode suddenly and spread out. The dragon bead was visible to the naked eye.
Gradually shrinking, the compass pointer in Wang Xuanzhen's hand rotated rapidly. At this time, the eyes could no longer see the rotation of the pointer.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz" the compass made a buzzing sound in Wang Xuanzhen's hand, and he immediately threw the compass to the ground.
"Bang" Before the compass landed, it suddenly exploded in mid-air.
"Kang..." A total of five dragon chants sounded one after another. The five-pointed formation eye of the dragon-inducing formation was completely filled with the dragon energy in the dragon beads, and the dragon beads on the dragon-suppressing tripod completely disappeared.
"The formation is complete, luckily we have fulfilled our mission," Wang Xuanzhen let out a long sigh.
Xiang Que also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this first step failed, he wouldn't have to go any further, because he could just accept his fate if the start was not smooth. Fortunately, with both preparations, the formation finally took shape.
"When Kunlun comes back, you two can join the formation."
When Wang Kunlun rushed back from Shenyang, the sky had already turned dark. The night temperature in the Northeast suddenly dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero. When the cold wind blew, people shivered from the cold. The four of them had already stayed in Xishan all afternoon.
"Are you going to do it tonight?" Wang Kunlun was a little nervous. He was worried about Xiang Que.
"It's a knife to extend your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head. There's no difference whether it's earlier or later. I just have one thought right now, to cut through the mess with a quick knife!"
There is a feeling of seeing through the vicissitudes of the world.
"Uh-huh" Xiang Que took out something from his bag and handed it to Wang Xuanzhen: "Lunbao, I have something to tell you."
"What?" What Xiang Que gave him was a small mahogany sword, the size of a palm. There was a talisman attached to the sword and a red rope tied to the handle. On the other side, there was a series of complicated symbols engraved on the sword.
Mantra.
Wang Xuanzhen tilted his head and said suspiciously: "Why do I feel like something is wrong? His face seems to be full of frustrations."
Xiang Que put his hands in his pockets and said calmly: "Listen to me, don't interrupt... My parents are older and are staying in Zhongjing's mansion. If I don't pick them up,
The old man probably won't come out, so you don't need to take care of her. Chen Xia doesn't need to take care of her at ordinary times, but if something happens to her, you have to do your best. What I worry about the most is the child in Qufu. This child's life is more difficult than mine.
, Life may be worry-free, but life may be very tiring... you three just treat it as a goddaughter."
"Wow!" The three of them were stunned.
Cao Shanjun frowned and said, "You seem to be explaining the funeral arrangements?"
Xiang Que licked his lips and said: "Kunlun, if I lose myself later, that is, when I am no longer myself, there will be a short period of absent-mindedness. The time is very short and should only be a few seconds. During this time, you can
You must seize the right moment and thrust the wooden sword in your hand towards this point."
Xiang Que pointed at his chest and heart!
One strike of the sword will definitely kill you.
Cao Shanjun, Wang Kunlun and Wang Xuanzhen were all confused.
"Do you think I can do it?" Wang Kunlun gritted his teeth and said.
If it had been anyone else, Wang Kunlun would have been able to raise and lower the knife with his hands, but Xiang Que's hands would have trembled.
"The me at that time was no longer me. This skin was just the same as me, but the soul and spirit in my bones had been occupied by the things in the old grave. I had died before he came in.
So you are not killing me, start without hesitation." After Xiang Que warned carefully, he sighed and said, "If I had a chance, how could I let you do this? Kunlun, I was disappointed.
"
"Don't let me down..." After saying this sentence, everyone can feel the helpless sadness from Xiang Que's body.
In today's society, if you open your mouth to borrow money from someone, you can call it a good friend, but if you ask someone to follow you and work hard, you can no longer just use the word friend to describe it.
Fateful acquaintance!
It was already ten o'clock in the evening.
In Zhongjing's Mansion, people here have already chosen to go to bed as soon as it gets dark. This is a place without any nightlife. Their only activity at night may be to get together in small groups to chat, drink, etc., so here we are.
After night, almost everyone went to bed. Tonight, Xiang Laoshi and his wife should have gone to bed long ago, but they were all sitting outside in a daze.
Xiang Laoshi asked his wife: "Why don't you sleep?"
"Why don't you sleep?" Xiang Que asked his mother back.
"I can't sleep, I'm worried," Xiang Laoshi said inexplicably.
"Me too"
The nightlife in Shanghai is rich, with feasting and neon lights flashing. Chen Xia originally had a social event tonight, but when night fell, she suddenly asked her secretary to postpone all activities tonight without warning.
Chen Xia did not give any explanation, then took a bottle of red wine alone, stood in the top-floor room of Jinmao Hyatt Hotel, drank wine and looked at the Huangpu River outside the window, and did not move for almost the whole night.
Chen Xia was inexplicably upset today, feeling restless and panicked. She still couldn't concentrate, so she simply canceled all her activities tonight. Then she, who almost never drinks, drank a bottle of red wine.
Wine is good wine, but it is not intoxicating.
"There is a feeling that our hearts are connected, and there is a distance that means that although we are far away from each other, our hearts are always close to each other... Is it you? I finally know why you have been hiding from me for more than a year. I know...
····You don’t want to make me sad...Xiang Que, take this step well, and I will wait for you again.” Chen Xia raised his glass to the window and drank it down in one gulp.
A bottle of wine, accompanied by a sad person, spent this difficult night.
Cave Qufu, Confucius Mansion.
Kong Dejing walked around the house with her baby in her arms all night, because she had been crying non-stop since it got dark today, scratching her little hands, making a fuss, and was very emotionally unstable.
Kong Dejing couldn't coax her well no matter how hard she tried, so she had to hold her in her arms and use her as a human cradle in the room.
"You kid, you've always been very lethargic, why are you making such a fuss today?"
