Three thousand crows kill

Chapter 22 Dawn Without You
There was a dead silence all around, and everyone was startled by this eerie scene.

The national teacher turned pale, and suddenly scolded: "Shameless bitch! The soul is fake!"

His figure flickered, and he was outside the bamboo forest in an instant, as if he was going to rush in.

The soldiers guarding both sides looked at Ting Yuan hesitantly, his eyes flickered, he only thought for a moment, and then whispered: "Just stop it!"

Hundreds of people might not be able to deal with a national teacher, but at this time and this place, we really can't delay any longer, and we can't wait for another good opportunity.Emperor Tianyuan received an unsigned letter in the imperial study room this morning. In the letter, he enumerated all kinds of crimes of deceiving the emperor committed by the national teacher, and detailed the matter that he borrowed the queen's belly to give birth to a prince without royal blood. , And said that at Fengmian Mountain at midnight tonight, all the truth can be known.

The emperor didn't have much affection for the prince, and the father-son relationship in the early years was probably replaced by taboo and fear.After the death of the prince, he was only worried that the Central Plains had not yet been unified, and if a leading prince died, Tianyuan would inevitably be retaliated by other countries.So after seeing the letter, the emperor actually breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his death was extremely wonderful.

The great crime of deceiving the emperor committed by the national teacher was just a symbolic distribution of several hundred people to the second prince, in effect, to persuade him, after all, the emperor was reluctant to part with the technique of immortality.The elixir refined by the national teacher has not yet been released, so if he is killed now, it would be a pity to have a batch of elixir of immortality.

Ting Yuan drew out his long saber, and while the soldiers stopped the national teacher, he turned around and saw the monster howling, and rushed straight towards it, as if intending to protect the lord.With a twist of his wrist, he slashed down neatly, and the monster's head rolled out like a ball, but its body threw itself on the horse he was riding.Fortunately, he hid quickly, threw himself on the ground and rolled several times, and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a violent tremor on the ground, and he fell into the muddy water just as he stood up.

The rest of the people were no better than him, the ground was like boiling water, rolling endlessly, suddenly a large piece was sunken in the middle, everyone rolled into the big pit involuntarily, even the national teacher was no exception, slipped under his feet fell in.The national teacher reacted very quickly, and immediately stretched out his demon hand to grab the green bamboo on it.Unexpectedly, thousands of silver lights rose from the ground, like a huge cage, instantly locking everyone's figures into the silver light.

The next moment the vibration on the ground subsided immediately, and someone tried to poke the silver barrier with a sword, but the barrier looked thin and soft, but it was actually harder than a diamond wall, and the sword sparked a little bit, but it couldn't be pried open at all.

Ting Yuan sat behind the barrier, touched it with his hand casually, and let out a sigh in his heart.This is the enchantment clothed by Qingying Stone, which can trap everything in the world.Qingying stone has a strange texture, it can absorb physical strength, demon power, and fairy power. The more you struggle in it, the more powerless you will be. It's better to sit quietly and watch the changes.

He turned his head and saw that the national teacher's expression was extremely ugly, he couldn't help but laughed, and said in a low voice: "National teacher, is it possible that the person who trapped us is your old man's enemy?"

The national teacher didn't answer, as if his eyes were about to spew fire, he just stared fiercely at the pitch-black bamboo forest.

A moment later, a girl in a bright red dress walked out of the forest holding an umbrella. It was a fire-like red, and very few people would wear this color on weekdays.But she is wearing it at the moment, but there is no fault in it, as if this bright color is just for her.

With a smile on her face, so that no one could see any malice, she squatted slowly outside the barrier, looked at the national teacher with her head tilted, and said, "You underestimate me, and almost lost half of your life to get it." Will I waste my chance like that?"

The national teacher said coldly: "Diji, what's the use of you trapping me? There are 310 nine people in this enchantment. I can kill and eat, and I can kill after eating. If you trap me for two or three years, I will be fine." I'm afraid you won't have two or three years to live."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly: "Hey, I'm kind enough to tell you to look at the sun tomorrow morning. Remember to look carefully, because you will never see it again."

She pulled out the white paper and turned it into a chair, just sitting outside the barrier, eating melon seeds, crossing her legs, smiling and looking at the struggling and crying people inside.I have never enjoyed it so much in my life, so comfortable.

The national teacher opened his mouth and was about to say something, when he suddenly felt an invisible pressure pressing down on his head.Like a ball of rubbed face, he fell face down in the muddy water. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get away from the invisible and huge force.His chest was so stuffy that he was about to explode, when he suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly reached into his arms, and took out the lock of white hair.The blindness had been lifted when they were trapped in the barrier, and the lock was not hair at all, but wool clipped from the back of a sheep.

His eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets, he pointed at Qin Chuan firmly, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and he couldn't say anything.

Qin Chuan said slowly: "Don't worry, it's still early. My parents, five elder brothers, and a maidservant have a total of eight lives. I will let you die eight times. You owe the rest Yan Zimin, I will let you pay it back slowly."

The national teacher couldn't bear the force of the curse anymore, and rolled on the ground, showing a demon appearance, waving messy hands with 32 blood-red demon hands, scaring the soldiers in the barrier to shout wildly and flee in all directions.

The rapid loss of demon power, coupled with the power of curse killing, made him urgently need to replenish fresh flesh and blood.He turned around suddenly, his eyes were blood red, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, and he stared at the soldiers hiding in a ball in the barrier.

With a wave of the demon's hand, he caught countless people and sent them to his mouth to chew hard. Then he burst into laughter again: "Di Ji! Just wait! Sooner or later, I will come out and chew you to pieces!"

Qin Chuan stared at his blood-red face intently, and said in a low voice, "Before that, I will let you be crushed first."

I don't know how long it took, the rain gradually stopped, and the sky began to glow with light blue morning light.The national teacher has died and come back to life countless times, his body is covered with scars and blood, and his surroundings are full of mutilated corpses, all of them are Tianyuan soldiers who died under his hands.

The cool wind blew, and despite being surrounded by an enchantment, Qin Chuan still felt that she could smell a strong smell of blood, and she rubbed her forehead wearily.He stretched out his hands behind him to massage the acupoints on the top of his head instead of hers.She didn't look back, just smiled and said in a low voice: "How is Xuanzhu?"

Fu Jiuyun carried her head into his arms, and kissed her forehead: "I woke up early, it's rare that I didn't cry or make trouble, but I just didn't talk."

After speaking, he remembered something, and said: "Meishan said that the curse killing has basically been completed, and there is only one last step left. I asked when you will take his life."

Qin Chuan looked coldly at the national teacher who passed out.This ambitious demon, the culprit who destroyed Dayan, finally died at her hands.

"It's dawn, when he wakes up, let's take a look at the sun." There was a very faint smile on her face, which was the relief and fatigue after being satisfied.

"Di Ji, you have more conscience than me. I don't want him to see the sun today." A gentle male voice suddenly sounded in the barrier, which was so unexpected that even Fu Jiuyun was stunned for a moment.

You must know that the enchantment of Qingying Stone can absorb physical strength, even a tiger can only be paralyzed and panting after being trapped for a night, and there are still people who can talk, which can be described as a miracle.

The figure in the enchantment suddenly moved, and rushed to the national teacher like lightning, holding the long knife high, it was obviously a cold and sharp cold light, but it was used so gracefully and gently by that person.With a single cut, the head of the national teacher rolled far away.The man shook off the blood beads, raised his hand to support the barrier, and looked at the two of them through the silver light with a smile. It was the second prince Ting Yuan.

"Can you still move?" Qin Chuan suddenly stood up in shock.

Ting Yuan didn't answer, but just blinked his eyes: "I want to thank you for helping me get rid of the serious troubles in my heart, and saving me a lot of effort."

The long knife slashed across the barrier, and the diamond-like barrier quietly shattered.He stepped out of the big pit and looked back. Most of the people he brought out were dead, and half of those who survived were sucked away by the barrier, and those who survived were useless.He turned to face Qin Chuan's pale face, and smiled gently: "Then, I'm leaving. Can I take my head?"

He held the head of the national teacher in his hand.The demon in the 24th cave of the Nanban will not die even if his head is beheaded. His lips are still moving, as if he could wake up and speak at any time.

Qin Chuan was stiff all over, and watched him stride far away, and suddenly shouted: "Why... the enchantment is useless to you?"

Ting Yuan raised his head and thought about it seriously, showing a hearty smile, with a hint of shyness: "Maybe it's because I hate these weird things the most. Take care, goodbye."

She instinctively wanted to chase, but Fu Jiuyun grabbed her sleeve tightly.

"Don't chase after him!" He whispered, "This prince is very weird..."

There were no sounds or ghosts within three feet of the second prince's body, and ghosts and gods avoided wherever he went, and the power of immortals and monsters could not exert its effect on him.Fu Jiuyun glanced at the headless body of the national teacher with a complicated expression. He once wanted to break Tianyuan's prophecy, and suppress the real son of destiny under him forever?
It was really close to success, and the national teacher was more remarkable than he imagined.

"Don't get involved with that person anymore, you can't touch him." Fu Jiuyun touched Qin Chuan's cheek, and suddenly smiled, "Hey, just listen to me once."

Qin Chuan nodded numbly, walked to the national teacher's side and used the talisman paper to draw out the soul.The soul lamp in the cowhide Qiankun bag trembled slightly as if sensing this powerful soul.The two soul flames on the soul lamp were much brighter than before, the souls of Zuo Xiang and the prince had been ignited, and the soul of the national teacher was ignited on the third wick, and the flame jumped more than three inches in an instant. The clearest sky on a sunny day.

Fu Jiuyun took a step back suddenly, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. Suddenly, the voice of Mr. Meishan shouted from the bamboo forest: "Who is it?! Who disturbed my curse-killing ceremony?! I haven't finished the last step, what are you doing?" Just die!" He ran out alive and kicking.

Fu Jiuyun grabbed his shoulder and said something in a low voice, Mei Shanjun's face changed drastically, he hurriedly supported him, and turned to look at Qin Chuan.She was squatting on the ground staring at the soul lamp in a daze, not knowing what to think.

The artifact was only short of the last ray of soul to be effective. Infected by its divine power, the sky that had just cleared up for half a minute turned dark again, and it rained heavily.The ghosts in the mountains cried out, making a heart-pounding sound.

Throwing the umbrella aside, Qin Chuan was soon soaked through.

She remembered many, many things. In the past, Dayan had not yet perished, how happy she was, but it was impossible to go back.Light up the soul lamp!Hook up the souls of all demons in all directions, and the ghosts in Huangquan and Biluo will also appear for that terrifying divine power, and there will be no more demons in the world from then on.

This is the only purpose of her life until now, and she can't think of a second way to go.

The blue flame seemed to be luring her soul hidden in the depths, as if there were countless pairs of small hands touching up gently, calling her: Come, come!

Her body couldn't help trembling, and couldn't help being tempted, she raised the soul lamp high, aimed at her heart and wanted to poke it down hard.

A cold hand held her wrist, Qin Chuan raised his head in a daze, and met Fu Jiuyun's slightly pale face.There was indescribable fatigue in his smile, he didn't ask her what she wanted to do just now, but said in a low voice: "I'm all wet, let's talk when I go back to the room."

Qin Chuan looked at him blankly, and murmured: "Jiuyun..."

Fu Jiuyun slowly closed his eyes. He had never been so pale and tired. The blue blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible, and his whole body seemed to be becoming transparent.

He said, "Hey, let's go home."

Qin Chuan curled up the corners of his mouth in a daze, as if he wanted to rejoice in his final victory.But her tears fell first, she covered her face suddenly, squatted down, and hugged the cold soul lamp tightly in her arms.

"I won... I won..." only kept repeating this sentence.

The blood relatives of Zai Tianyouling and the ravaged people of Great Swallow, she can finally puff up her chest and go to see them with a smile without shame or pain.

A hand on her shoulder.

"You won, you were brave and the best princess ever."

Qin Chuan raised his tearful eyes and smiled at him: "I'm exhausted, can Jiuyun carry me home?"

"Okay." A gentle smile.

He hugged her, his hands seemed to be trembling violently, and he walked very slowly, with great difficulty.

She didn't realize that she thought it was herself who was trembling.As before, she hugged his neck tightly and buried her face in his wet chest.This is her home, it doesn't matter how willful you are, anyone will spoil you no matter how you act like a baby, it's her home.

Once the worries accumulated over the years were settled, Qin Chuan was suddenly too tired to open his eyes anymore.In a daze, she felt that someone put her gently on the bed, ripped her wet hair and rubbed it with a dry cloth.

Someone was saying something fiercely, someone was asking eagerly, and someone was explaining in a low voice.

But she couldn't hear anything clearly, she hooked Fu Jiuyun's finger with her little finger, and muttered in attachment: "Jiuyun, don't go..."

All the sounds stopped, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The family members who hadn't dreamed of it for many years came to see her. The second elder brother rushed to the front. He babbled a lot in such a mess that people couldn't hear clearly. He was smiling and gave her a bear hug at the end.

Aman was still the same as before, saluting her with tears and smiles.

The royal father and the queen mother surrounded her, stroking her hair gently with their palms, and the other royal brothers stood on both sides with their arms folded, smiling kindly and gently.

Those smiles are so long gone.

"Huang Quan... is it cold?" She asked in a low voice.

The second brother shook his head.

"What does it feel like to die?"

"It's the same as being alive, closing your eyes and coming back to life."

Qin Chuan felt that he had never been so happy, and said in a low voice: "That's good... I... I may be reunited with you very late... It doesn't matter if you don't wait for me."

"Yanyan..." Second Brother hugged her, "This is enough. Don't continue, don't make yourself regret..."

Suddenly his voice could no longer be heard, Qin Chuan was startled suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he realized that the sky was about to darken, and the afterglow of the setting sun leaked a golden border on the bedding through the curtain.

Fu Jiuyun slept next to her in his clothes, one finger was still hooked by her little finger.His face was so pale that it seemed transparent, his lips were bloodless, and his breathing was gentle and subtle.

Qin Chuan caressed his cheek, and the tentacles were no longer warm, but rather cool.

She was startled suddenly, and called him hastily: "Jiuyun? Are you asleep?"

His thick long eyelashes fluttered, and those beautiful eyes opened, and the light flowed, and finally settled on her face.He smiled, turned over and put his arms around her shoulders.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

"Are you sick?" Qin Chuan pushed back the long hair on his cheeks, trying to warm his cool skin with the heat of his palm.

Fu Jiuyun nodded: "I seem to have suffered from some wind and cold, hehe, I haven't been sick for many years, it's really embarrassing."

She pulled up the quilt and covered him tightly.He looked at her quietly like this, and didn't speak, so she didn't want to say anything more, and pushed his long hair behind his ears over and over again.The heat in her palm can't warm his hand no matter what, his hand is so cold, holding it like this is like holding a piece of cold jade.

"Should I call a doctor?"

Qin Chuan turned over to get out of bed, but he held his shoulder weakly: "Don't go, I just want to look at you."

She went back to sleep and held his upper body in her arms.His long breath sprayed on the collarbone, arousing a warm itch, and then his lips lightly pressed against that piece of skin, with a low voice: "Chuan'er, there is a chance... to dance 'Dongfeng Peach Blossom' again Right? Just show it to me."

Qin Chuan smiled: "How can we dance without the musicians playing? Besides, after so many years, I have long forgotten."

He laughed twice: "Really? That's all..."

She hugged him, watching the sunset gradually sinking, and the silver plate-like moon climbed up the branches.The soul lamp was put into the universe bag, and the vision of the weather disappeared in an instant.Everything is so quiet and peaceful, and such a beautiful night, she has watched it countless times since she was a child, but never has she felt unable to look away, even reluctant to part with it like now.

"Jiu Yun, all three wicks of the Soul Lamp have been lit. The last one has to be lit within twelve hours, otherwise... all previous efforts will be wasted. I have to leave before dawn."

He looked up at her, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Okay, I'll make a roast whole lamb tonight. Don't go hungry."

Something in her throat was trembling violently, causing her whole body to ache.

When the husband was alive, he once told Qin Chuan a story.There was a man who was most afraid of ghosts and hid at home all day without going out. He hired a martial arts expert to watch the door for him, thinking that he could sit back and relax.Unexpectedly, when the ghost heard about this weakness, he waited for an opportunity to frighten him. This person made so many preparations and was careful, but in the end he was still scared to death by the ghost.

The master said, the more you fear something in your heart, the less you should avoid it. All evils and debts come from the heart, and the right way is to let everything take its course.

It's just that she didn't understand what the husband meant at that time. Now that everything has settled and the ending is gradually becoming clear, she knows what she is most afraid of in her heart.

It is parting.

She has been deliberately avoiding, forcing herself to face everyone with a cold heart, the more deliberately, the more opposite the result will be.Intentional indifference and ruthlessness can only show the weakness of the heart, and finally let go of everything and fall in love, and then leave again in a blink of an eye, so few days when you really smile.

This is your own fault.

Mr. Meishan had already gone back, maybe he was driven back by Fu Jiuyun, Qin Chuan remembered hearing him yelling when he was about to fall asleep.I don't know what Zuo Zichen and Xuan Zhu heard, but when they were eating the roast whole lamb, no one spoke, the atmosphere was extremely dull, and even Xuan Zhu rarely kept looking at Zuo Zichen.

Everyone ate the mutton together, and ate half of the sheep in one meal, hearing the shouts of "Which bastard stole my sheep" from time to time in the village.

Fu Jiuyun was sick, so he went into the house to rest after eating.

Qin Chuan squatted next to the water tank to wash the dishes, and suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind her. She said with a casual smile, "I didn't expect you to really steal a sheep. The Zhuangzi scolded me for a long time."

The man stopped behind her, and after a long time, he whispered: "Actually, you don't need to force yourself like this."

The bowl in Qin Chuan's hand almost hit the ground, jumped up, stared at the person in front of him with his mouth wide open, and stammered: "Uh...you...are you talking to me?"

Xuanzhu would take the initiative to talk to her, no less than the red rain in the world.From the beginning of memory, Xuan Zhu always had only two expressions towards her: hatred and sneer.She was completely different from the girl who was standing in front of her now, with even a hint of sadness in her expression.

Xuanzhu frowned, and said lightly: "That wimpy fairy... told us all. You have done so many things for Dayan, so there is no need to continue. You must know that no one will accept your love, the world Most of them are selfish and cold, thinking only of their own interests.”

She would suddenly say these words to herself, and it was impossible not to be shocked. It took Qin Chuan a long time to close his mouth: "Are you sure you are talking to me?"

Xuanzhu sneered——as expected, a sneer is suitable for her—her eyes were a little complicated, and there was a little bit of contempt and loathing in the past, but now there was a trace of pity and tenderness, and she whispered: "Sure enough, I still hate you very much. I have been looking forward to your death all day long, but now that you are really going to die, I think it is better for you to live. Don’t you already have someone you like? Let’s live with him! You saved me twice, this Favor, I will definitely return it to you."

Qin Chuan was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled wryly: "It's meaningless to say these things now. I didn't save you to make you return favors, as long as you are willing to settle down."

Xuanzhu turned around and left, leaving only a lingering voice: "That's all I want to say, take care. I will pray to God every day, and I will never meet you again in my next life."

Qin Chuan stared at her back in astonishment, and suddenly felt impulsive: "Xuan Zhu!"

She didn't look back, but stopped for a moment, vaguely sighing: "You told me that day... people need to grow up... I have been trapped, I can't think of getting out of the cocoon, the first time I grow out of the cocoon. The wings will be cut off again..."

"Xuanzhu, what are you talking about?"

When she turned around, she was actually smiling, and there was no deep-seated jealousy, nor ugly sarcasm.

"I still hate the Great Yan Kingdom, from top to bottom, from beginning to end. Diji, I am not a great person, and I don't have your ambition. What can a person like me do?"

She left, no matter how many times Qin Chuan yelled strangely from behind, she never looked back.

When Qin Chuan returned to the house, Fu Jiuyun had already fallen asleep, probably not yet sound asleep, and slowly opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.The candles on the desk were flickering, and it seemed that there were two stars hidden in his eyes, which were gratifyingly bright.

She closed the corner of the quilt and smiled at him: "Why aren't you asleep? I'll be with you."

Fu Jiuyun wrapped his arms around her waist, resting his head on her lap, with a rare hint of coquettishness: "Wait a little longer...wait a little longer before going to sleep. I'll look at you."

Qin Chuan held his hand and pressed it tightly against his body, wishing in his heart that he could hug her as hard as before, and the only hug in the world was left between the two of them.But he was so weak that his fingers lost all strength.

This disease is so fierce that it is really unexpected that such a person will be overwhelmed by the wind and cold.

"I seldom tell you about Mr., right?" She said in a low voice, "Mister told me about the Soul Lamp. But he regretted it until he died, so he shouldn't have told me about it."

Fu Jiuyun drooped his long eyelashes, and only hummed.

"At that time, he was afraid that I would commit suicide, so he found the soul lamp to give me an idea to survive." Qin Chuan paused, "Lighting the soul lamp requires extremely strong courage and willpower, and he felt that I must fail. "

"But you are more courageous than he imagined?"

Her eyes were glued to his, and after a long time, she said softly: "No, I am also very timid. At least, when lighting the soul lamp, there are some people I dare not meet. Jiuyun, just accompany me here, Let me do it myself later, and you can live well."

Fu Jiuyun smiled a little confusedly: "Find some beautiful girls to hang out with, and live in a suave manner? It's okay."

"Uh..." Qin Chuan was speechless for a moment.

"Of course it's a joke." Fu Jiuyun winked at her, and patted her hand, like comforting a small animal, "It's up to you what you want."

Qin Chuan forced back those useless tears. She had missed many partings and avoided them intentionally or unintentionally.This time, the last person will also bid farewell to her, and there will be no one to accompany her.She only had the courage to face it.

"Hey, come here. Jiuyun, I want to watch you."

He leaned over and gave her a kiss as soft as a breeze, his lips were slightly cool.

She also felt that she couldn't get enough of him, these eyebrows, these eyes, when she smiled, there was a unique innocence, but when she was not smiling, he looked so melancholy because of the mole in his eyes.

"Go to sleep, I'll watch you here. I won't leave before dawn."

He must have been seriously ill, and fell into a deep sleep almost immediately, whispering a few vague words from his pale lips: "Soul Lamp...wait for me..."

Qin Chuan bent down and kissed his cheek, and the hustle and bustle of his heart suddenly stopped.

His person is already sleeping in her arms, although the sunshine tomorrow morning has nothing to do with her, why not happy now?

Beloved, you will have sweet dreams.
