Chapter 65: Come down

On the third floor of the Mogao Grottoes, the sky was shredded with snow, and the ghost king fluttered with his cloak. When Hong Jun was looking up, a corpse was behind him.
"Your Highness." The guard said, "The ghost king invites you."
"You can talk!" Hong Jun was surprised.
"We will all." The guard replied, "Just don't speak in front of mortals unless necessary, please."
Hong Jun: "But why call me" His Royal Highness "?"
The guard didn't answer, just politely, took Hongjun to the high place, and passed the stone ladder of Mogao Grottoes, when Hongjun looked down.
Mo Rigen was in a daze on the second floor, and Asuna went in and out to see the murals in the Mogao Grottoes.
There are thousands of caves in Mogao Grottoes, and many painters are gathered in groups of three to five on the corridors of various floors, listening to Atayal playing the Barbat, and the sound of music is floating in the wind. In front of the nine floors under the cave, a large number of Yumen army soldiers gathered. Hongjun only discovered that there are so many people in Mogao Grottoes? ! I didn't see it when I arrived, but I came out at this time.
The voices are loud and very lively, as bustling as a small town.
Hong Jun was worried about what would happen to the ghost king and his guard when he came here, but he saw Li Jinglong talking to the soldiers in front of the nine-story building. Expecting that he should be able to solve it, he no longer worried.
The ghoul guards and Hongjun passed the second floor and passed many painting caves along the way. The painters resting outside the cave saw the ghouls coming together, and folded their hands together. After a few salutes, they had obviously seen the ghouls.
Hong Jun turned his head to look at the painter, and then saluted. The guard just nodded, and then took him to the middle of the Mogao Grottoes and entered one of them.
A painter is drawing a statue of Bodhisattva. His skin is white and extremely gentle, with compassion in his eyes, and behind him is a flying image of colored clothes flying. The painter was a young man of a similar age to Hong Jun. It was a cold winter and the fire was booming in the cave. He bare his shoulders, wearing only a baggy trousers, sitting barefoot, sitting cross-legged on the shelf high, with a full expression In order to be pious, one stroke at a time, depicting the arm of the Bodhisattva.
"Do you know him?" Said the ghost king.
Hong Jun shook his head and marveled at the age of the painter. Thousands of painters in Dunhuang, or one cave for one person, or one cave for several people. The statues or clay sculptures in the caves, and the murals were colorful. Respectfully.
It was so deep that the tremor of the soul made Hongjun almost unable to breathe. Standing in front of the bodhisattva, he only felt that in a world that was inaccessible but really real, the gods and gods in the heavens were examining with compassion His mind.
When the painter saw a guest coming, he put down the paintbrush and Chao Hongjun folded his hands together, leaving the cave temporarily.
"The general trend is Bodhisattva." The ghost king said, "Make all living beings free from swordsmen. The Mogao Caves also call the 'Thousand Buddha Caves.' Carve the body of the Buddha in the middle, draw the image of the Buddha, and seek Purdue. Every time I make a pilgrimage to Mogao Grottoes, I often think about whether the bodhisattvas also protect our demon race. "
Hong Jun: "The painters don't seem to be afraid of you, they all know you?"
"Know." The ghost king said, "The people here call us 'Ashura'."
The ghost king lowered his head and looked at Hongjun's appearance, saying, "You are like a person I've seen, but forgive me for seeing too many people in my life. I have long lost my memory, and I can't think of who it is."
Hong Jun released the peacock Ling, put it in the palm of his hand, and showed it to the ghost king.
The two were silent, the ghost king stretched out his fingers, picked up the jasper peacock Ling, and muttered: "Five-color Divine Light, you are Kong Xuan's child, that day ..."
Hong Jun was shocked, and the ghost king's eyes turned to look at him.
"Have you seen my father?"
The ghost king's brows frowned, and Hong Jun knew that the ghost king had a connection with Yaojin Palace and gasped and said, "Ghost King, what kind of person is my father?"
The ghost king turned and left the cave. Hong Jun chased out immediately, and the ghost king stepped up in front of the stone staircase and came outside the hall of the Mogao Grottoes. The sun set westward and descended into the winding Great Wall and the vast desert outside the Yumen Pass.
Hong Jun was full of urgency in his heart. He did n’t ask his uncle Jia Zhou, because his former father was just like a mortal in front of him, and he did n’t ask Zhongming and Qingxiong, just because their meaning was already self-evident: you You have to find it yourself.
In front of the ghost king, Hong Jun's feeling is more like finding a long-standing friend of the demon clan.
The ghost king sat down at the top of the Mogao Grottoes and signaled that Hong Jun was also sitting. Hong Jun didn't know, so he stared at the ghost king.
"When you mentioned heavyness on the road," the ghost king replied, "I vaguely felt that perhaps the son of the old man came, is your father and mother all right?"
"All died." Hong Jun replied sadly. He knew that the ghost king was always sleeping in the coffin, and he didn't understand the world, but when the five-color light reached his own hands, it meant that his father had already left.
Sure enough, the ghost king was not surprised, but just nodded his head and said, "He came to Hexi to find me that day, we are sitting here."
In a moment, a strange sensation ran deep in Hongjun's heart, but the ghost king thought about it: "Unconsciously, when I wake up, it has been so many years."
"In the beginning ... what did he come for?" Hong Jun asked.
The ghost king pondered, looked at Hongjun, and replied: "He wants to hand you over to me, and Liu Fei and I will raise you up."
Hong Jun: "..."
"I'm such a lonely grave." The ghost king said to himself, "Liu Fei likes you very much, but living in the ancient tomb, long and long, always makes people feel depressed. Now I want to come, fortunately, the difference between the first thought did not let you stay. under."
"I was a burden to him." Hong Jun whispered.
"No." The ghost king realized Hongjun's loss, and immediately said, "Why do you say that? You have a peculiar physique, so there are always demon clan eyes. He needs to free his hands to deal with the prison, I am afraid it is difficult to protect you and your mother. ,and so……"
Hong Jun understood, and nodded gratefully.
He said that the ghost king reached out his hand and put it on Hongjun's shoulder.
"Zhongming has raised you well." Ghost King See Hongjun still seems to be a little lost. He added, "Of course, if you stay with me, you can still be more white now."
Hong Jun was sad, but when he heard the words, he laughed.
The ghost king pondered again: "That year he concealed your mother and left Yumenguan to come to see me. Bailu can have a soul and a soul and be guaranteed. Presumably it is also due to your hit ..."
"What ?!" Hongjun knew that the original White Deer Care had something to do with his father!
"Don't you know?" The ghost king said lightly. "After he saw me in the past, he felt that Yulu wanted to capture the White Deer, so he intervened and interrupted the prison's spell."
Hong Jun couldn't help but gasp violently, no wonder he always felt different when facing Lu Xu.
After listening to Hongjun's description, the ghost king replied: "That's it. When the White Deer was reincarnated, he must have seen your father with a soul. Your appearance is similar to your father, so he often remembers."
Hong Jun took a deep breath and nodded.
"Why ..." he asked again, and his heart jumped violently, saying, "Demon clan ... will come to me?"
In his dream, his parents have been moving, just to avoid the troublesome intrusion. When he was young, he even said, "There is a monster in my body."
The ghost king pondered for a moment, and then replied: "I think you should ask your adoptive father for this. Maybe he is the one who knows the cause and the consequences best."
Hong Jun did not expect that he actually got such an answer.
"Tell me, ghost king ... Uncle Shi." Hong Jun said nervously, "You must know, you must know!"
The ghost king was silent again, Hong Jun frowned deeply and looked at him anxiously, the ghost king cast an inexplicable glance at him.
"They asked you to come down the mountain to find the kid with the heart lamp?" The ghost king suddenly asked again.
Hong Jun was even more puzzled. He grabbed the ghost king's arm and recalled the past. He told him how Qing Qing took him down the mountain, handed him three things, and handed the heart lamp to him. Yuanyuan told the ghost king.
"So ... I think, maybe they didn't intend to hide from you." Ghost King said in a deep voice, "So it turns out ..."
"Why exactly?" Hong Jun said anxiously.
The ghost king just looked at Hong Jun in silence, and after a moment said: "Little Peacock, you are still not ready to accept it."
Hong Jun almost begged: "I just want to know what happened to me."
The ghost king suddenly said, "If time returns to the past and gives you the right to choose, will you be willing to come into this world?"
Hong Jun has lost patience and said, "I don't want to listen to these anymore! You know everything, why don't you tell me?"
"Answer me." The ghost king said seriously, in the words, vaguely dignified, as if he had clearly stood in front of Hong Jun and taught him.
"I ..." Hong Jun felt like a mess, somehow, but remembered the joy of everyone in the Exorcism Division.
"Of course it's good." Hong Jun replied.
"So even if you die tomorrow, you will never regret it?" The ghost king said again, "This is very important, little peacock."
Hong Jun said helplessly: "Can I regret it? I ..."
The ghost king nodded and replied: "Neither, let me tell you that, eighteen years ago, your birth was supposed to rob your father."
Hong Jun: "!!!"
Immediately afterwards, the ghost king raised his sword and pointed at his eyebrows, and then left slowly. The fingers glowed with a gentle blue light, and then he lightened to Hongjun's eyebrows.
With a hum, Hong Jun's consciousness was instantly pulled into the ghost king's memory.
Eighteen years ago.
Kong Xuan sat cross-legged at the top of Mogao Grottoes, where Hong Jun was sitting, the sun was setting, and Hong Jun, who was small, leaned his head against his chest, tilted his head, and fell asleep.
"Ying prison is always looking for the devil species." Kong Xuan murmured, "I have tried everything, and I can't take it out of Xing'er's three souls and seven souls."
"Begging for benevolence." The ghost king said in a deep voice, "Isn't that what your two brothers gave you?
"I don't know." Kong Xuan's eyes were confused, and his voice became hoarse. He said, "It's such a happy thing to be a father ..."
Ghost King: "It's you who will be the devil."
Kong Xuan: "Yes, after two hundred years, it will become the devil, it should be me."
The golden light of the setting sun was thrown at Mogao Grottoes, shining into the hundreds of thousands of Buddhas in the thousand caves, pitying all beings.
"The ringer still needs to ring the bell." The ghost king said in a deep voice, "What's the use of stumping in the world without asking your brother?"
Kong Xuan sighed and replied: "Chongming and Qingxiong, let me just find a mortal girl, give her the yin and yang injection technique, and inject her, my and demon, into a magic tire, and the rest Matter, they no longer care. "
"After all, in their eyes, my life is the most important thing ... Now, maybe even they can't expect it, now I am a deep-rooted lover, I can't give up the beauty, I can't sit and stare at the devil, Seeking medical treatment now ... "
The ghost king replied: "It's not that I don't want to help you, Kong Xuan, even if you are turned into a ghoul, the demons can't be eliminated. The only thing that can remove the demons is the time when you don't move the king and the six devices are in one. . "
"Heart lamp may be possible." Kong Xuan sighed, "I have to find the lamp."
"It can't be done." The ghost king said in a deep voice, "The devil qi in the soul can be expelled by the heart lamp, but your child's body is the celestial devil. He is the introducer that condenses the world's devil qi and opens the earth to you The mission that has been shouldered afterwards, the divinity and the demon, the number of lives and deaths coexisting ... "
There was a loud noise, the white light flashed, and the ghost king's finger left Hongjun's forehead.
Hong Junru muttered in his dream, "This is all true."
"Your father often blamed himself before he was born." The ghost king said, "There should be no difference between regrets ..."
"Why?" Hong Jun shivered, "Why?"
The ghost king replied: "There is hostility between heaven and earth, so there is a devil, and the reincarnation of the years will change, and if the devil qi is too prosperous, there will always be a way to purify. The magic species in the body of King Peacock Daming are the seeds that attract this devil After the enlightenment, the ancient Buddha burning the lamp shone through the world with the heart lamp, and the power of the Ming Dynasty King and the Six Devices removed the demon, Kong Xuan entered the reincarnation, and reincarnated, so endless. "
The ghost king said in a deep voice: "Now, answer my question again, little peacock."
Hong Jun: "..."
"If you are destined to die in this life, will you regret it, once came to this world and walked through it?"
Hongjun stood up, with a little trance in his eyes.
"There is always a death for all beings." The ghost king said, "Now, you must understand what your adoptive father said."
Hong Jun was confused, slowly walked down the rung, turned around, staggered, and walked towards the end of Mogao Cave along the passage. His heart was filled with lightning and thunder, wind and snowfall, but his expression was very calm.
The light of the setting sun was thrown into these thousands of caves and tens of thousands of Buddhas. He passed each cave entrance. The Buddha statues in the heavens looked calmly and watched his figure quietly, but he was only a lonely person in the three thousand worlds who had nowhere to go and where to go Passing by.
In the evening, Li Jinglong quickly walked out of the nine-story building, Artest whistled down and asked, "Where do I go?"
Li Jinglong didn't answer. As he was leaning west, a team of horses came from afar. Before he got close, he first greeted Li Jinglong and saluted, saying, "The general said that Yumen's guarding is a matter of great importance, and he dared not leave his post without permission. Bring the wine and vegetables. "
Li Jinglong said: "It's hard work, all go in."
The soldiers moved their supplies into the nine-story building, and Li Jinglong replied towards the heights: "It's almost a New Year, and this year will be a new year here, no more tossing."
Only then did Arté think of it, and three days before the end of the year, Ashina said: "I didn't expect to have your Han here this year."
Li Jinglong replied: "The most regrettable thing is that Yong Si didn't come, otherwise people would be together. Mo Rigen! Come down and help!"
Mo Rigen was still in a daze on the third floor. He sighed as he glanced down.
Before nightfall, Li Jinglong collected the supplies and handed them over to the soldiers to reward him. The entourage wanted to see Master Nephew. Taking into account that Hongjun and the ghost king were together, Li Jinglong sent them back first, and said that they would return to Yumen to report safety soon .
"Hong Jun!"
Li Jinglong ran up and down, looking for Hongjun, but in front of Lu Xu's sleeping cave, he saw Mo Rigen standing like a pile.
"Long history." Mo Zhigen said, "When is it time to talk about it? Do you still have a new year's thoughts?"
Li Jinglong replied: "There will be a way."
"Are you saying that ?!" Mo Rigen hurriedly.
Li Jinglong was silent, standing side by side with Mo Rigen, facing the Mogao Grottoes, the moon rose, and the sand dunes shone brightly.
"What can I do?" Li Jinglong glanced into the hole. Under the mural, Lu Xu was still asleep and whispered to Mo Zhigen, "Should you teach me?"
Morrigan said: "The blue wolf and the white deer are destined to be a pair."
"Yes." Li Jinglong slapped the railing and said, "Either you go?"
"Hey, forgive me for interrupting, have you asked Hong Jun for the meaning?" Before the next floor, Artest said to Li Jinglong.
The carp demon interjected: "What is it? No need to ask, long history, you really are a match made in heaven!"
Ashina Joan said: "I don't understand. In your eyes, the emotions are always coming when you want to be? This is not right. The surnamed Li, you are so confident? Let me teach you a few hands?"
"I didn't say that!" Li Jinglong said irritably.
Mo Zhigen said angrily: "Turkish people, do you want to fight?"
Li Jinglong pointed to one side, motioned Mo Zhigen to the corner and said, pushing him away.
Mo Zhigen said: "Come on, what do you do this time? Don't you let us rest assured every time? The promised thing will definitely be done, isn't it?"
Li Jinglong said: "Yi Rongshu, do you know? Or ask the ghost king and monsters if there is any spell that can make you look like me, and then I look like you ..."
Mo Rigen said: "But is there a difference ?! Even if Yi Rongcheng I go to love and love, in the end it is actually not the same ?!"
Li Jinglong thought of it as well, and asked, "Either you will be replaced in the end? I am on the side ..."
Mo Zhigen said: "Do not interfere with you all the way, and finally put a light on the side, what's the difference?"
"This is just a possibility!" Li Jinglong said seriously, "Can't I try it?"
Mo Zhigen didn't want to answer.
Li Jinglong couldn't do anything, and made another plan. After thinking for a while, he said, "Either check it out, can we both move the soul? Attach my soul to your body ..."
Mo Zhigen said: "Long history, is there a difference?"
"I said," Li Jinglong bitterly said, "You are still you, just attaching my soul to you briefly."
Mo Zhigen suddenly thought that one body and two souls seemed to be ok, but how to do it?
"Is the heart lamp in your soul or in the meridian?" Mo Rigen asked.
Li Jinglong remembered it instantly, and immediately said: "In my meridian, no, this will not work!"
Morrigan: "..."
Asnaqiong glanced curiously, shrugging at Artest and spreading his hands.
Artest smiled and said: "It should have been used to being smart and chic in the past, just give Chang Shi this confidence?"
Asnaqiong moved Artest, beckoning him to look.
In the moonlight, Hong Jun walked at a slow pace, sighed, and seemed very tired, looking around.
Ashina Qiong said with a smile: "Hong Jun?"
Hong Jun did not answer and entered one of the caves.
Lu Xu lay quietly in front of the mural, and the ghost king's guard lit a total of seven lights on the ground above his head, shoulders, waist and abdomen.
"What spell is this?" Hong Jun asked.
The guard replied: "Your Highness, this is a seven-star lamp to appease his soul."
Hong Jun nodded, and suddenly remembered that the of plague and the mysterious girl had not been removed. At this moment, they did not know where to hide, and would they plan to make a comeback. But since the ghost king is awake, he is not afraid of the plague, nor the cold, and he has not fallen into a dream. Presumably, these two monsters are not so stupid as to provoke him again.
He leaned back against the mural and sat next to Lu Xu, reaching out his hand and putting it on Lu Xu's forehead.
At that time, his father originally wanted to save his son's life, but he did not expect to save Lu Xu instead. Somehow, he hoped that Lu Xu would wake up and let him return to the dream again, seeing his father and mother, and saying a few words to them, even if the dream was all his own memories.
Did he regret this decision?
Does the mother know what happened behind this?
In spite of this, it has long since passed away, and it no longer makes much sense, but Hong Jun still persistently wants to know, bit by bit in the past. There was a cloud of mist in his past, and his future seemed to have nowhere to go. When will he replace his father and become a demon, and then where will he kill his immobile king?
The ghost king's words plunged him into confusion, as if he lived in this world, which had no meaning any more. His value was nothing more than a sacrifice in this world.
"Lu Xu." Hong Jun whispered, "My father is a good person, isn't he?"
Lu Xu lay quietly, still in a deep sleep.
Hong Jun smiled bitterly: "He saved your life, but left me the cruelest thing."
He looked sideways at Lu Xu. At this time, he did not know who to tell, but he subconsciously knew that when Lu Xu let him into a dream, he must have seen everything in his memory, including his past and his life experience. .
Lu Xu's eyelashes moved slightly, and Hong Jun frowned, approaching him, looking carefully.
He opened his eyes, and Zhao Hongjun replied: "Your destiny is far more than cruel."
Hong Jun: "..."
Suddenly Lu Xu grabbed Hongjun's arm and dragged it suddenly, Hongjun shouted, "Let go!"
A monstrous black gas surged up and wrapped the two around, Hong Jun pushed hard away from Lu Xu, shouting: "Your horn is broken! You have no mana!"
Immediately after landing, Xu Leng laughed hoarsely and said, "I still have soul." Then, the black gas burst into the air, and from Lu Xu's body, he rolled to Hongjun, and Hongjun's heart suddenly hurt, when he bowed his head A glimpse of the black gas on Lu Xu's body was connected to his chest, and then the black gas exploded, sweeping the entire cave!
At the same time, Li Jinglong grabbed Mo Rigen's collar and was wrestling with Mo Rigen. Li Jinglong shouted, "Mo Rigen!"
Suddenly Mo Zhigen let go, and the two turned around instantly, looking at the cave not far away.
The cave burst into a monstrous black gas, and the ghost king, guards, Atayal, and Ashnaqiong had a meal at the same time.
"Hong Jun went in!" Asnaqiong shouted.
Black gas accompanied by a violent hoarse cry rushed out of the cave and erupted!
Li Jinglong and Mo Rigen almost ran at the same time and ran to the mouth of the cave. They said that time and time soon, the majestic black hole burst into the room!
"Lu Xu!" Mo Rigen shouted.
Li Jinglong: "Hong Jun!"
Inside the cave, Lu Xu and Hong Jun lay side by side, but the black gas was quickly recovered, and could not help pouring into the mural. Immediately was sucked into the mural, the light flashed and all disappeared.
Li Jinglong: "..."
Morrigan: "..."
