Chapter 41: Gather together

"Come on! Let's eat!"
In the palace hall of Huaqing Palace, the lights were bright, reflecting the snow in the valley, and the figure was cast on the gate. A huge fish was dangling in front of the lantern.
"Don't watch it." Hong Jun smiled, "Come to dinner."
The carp demon looked at the koi on the lampshade for a long time, and then fell down reluctantly from the cabinet. Li Jinglong personally poured wine to a group of subordinates and said with a smile: "Although I have only known each other for two months, it seems that I have known each other for a long time. There is a saying that people who have experienced life and death together will have an unbreakable fate ... … "
Everyone is too busy to speak, but they dare not dare. After drinking, Li Jinglong raised his glass and said, "May Changan be free of disasters again. God bless me Datang!"
"God bless me Datang."
The four of them toasted with the carp demon and swallowed it.
Li Jinglong greeted everyone again, and Mo Rigen smiled and said, "Is it only two months? How do you feel like you have lived a lifetime."
"The Exorcist Division that entered in September 18." Qiu Yongsi smiled, "Remember that there was a lot of grass there, and I almost thought I ran the wrong door."
Hong Jun laughed: "When Chang Shi broke in that day, his face was scared green, do you remember?"
Everyone laughed together again, that day Li Jinglong first entered the Exorcism Division, Atay played the piano, Mo Rigen bowed the string, Qiu Yongsi and Hong Jun knocked on the cup to make the bowl, and the carp demon danced in a basin ... almost to give the seal Chang Qing Frightened psychological shadow.
Li Jinglong quipped: "It's true not to hide it, I took the liberty that day, and I shouldn't do it indiscriminately."
Mo Rigen frowned again and again, and when he talked about the little fox being let go, he kept teasing Hongjun. Hongjun said angrily: "Really not! I just can't bear to bear cute little animals ..."
Qiu Yongsi said: "Speaking of this, how many paintings are for you, everyone looking at it?"
As Qiu Yongsi turned around, he took a few sheets of paper behind him, and each one of them divided it, and said to the carp demon: "You often soak in the water, let Hongjun keep it for you."
The people divided the paintings, and seeing Qiu Yongsi's vivid expression of Dan Qing was their usual impression. The moment Li Jinglong first entered the Exorcism Division, the people in the two screens when listening to music in Pingkangliliu Chunxiao, a scene of the demon in front of the Daming Palace, the golden flowers fell together to face the prince, sitting in the garden under the ginkgo tree Wait for the call ...
And the moment of galloping today, chasing the wind from Chang'an to Lishan.
"I want this one!" The carp demon likes the last one.
"It's not the same as landscape painting." Li Jinglong said interestingly.
"Grandfather always thought I was too real." Qiu Yongsi said, "most of this kind of painting nobody wants."
"I like it." Hong Jun simply couldn't put it down, rolled the picture into a tube, and said, "You can put it up and hang it when you go back."
When everyone looked at the painting, there was a sudden silence in the room, and Hong Jun seemed to feel a strange atmosphere. Morrigan said: "I have something here, and I will share it with everyone."
He said that Mo Zhigen took out three small bone flutes and distributed them to everyone, saying, "This is the whistle made by the finger bones of the Wolf King. It does n’t matter whether it ’s a meal or killing an enemy.
The bone flute was very delicately made, melodious and clear, with a red thread tied to it. Compared with the beads, Hong Jun couldn't put it down even more.
"I'll give you something too." Hong Jun said, "Or just remove this bead."
The crowd hurriedly told Hongjun not to start, but Hongjun had already pulled his hands apart, the jade beads fell to the ground, and Li Jinglong held his forehead.
Qiu Yongsi said: "This bead can buy half of Luoyang. You ... have it just been removed?"
Hong Jun said: "It's okay, it's okay, there are still many in my family, all of them are soaked in the fish tank, and then find some more string ..."
Everyone: "..."
There were twelve beads in total, and Hong Jun divided two into one, and gave the carp demon two. . "
"Either make a necklace for Zhao Zilong, with a string of Buddha bones hanging behind his cheeks.
This is not bad, Hong Jun readily started to make ornaments for carp demon. The carp demon drank a few glasses of wine, invincible, shaking, swinging a few pendulums, fell sideways, and was drunk.
"Come, have another drink." Li Jinglong was about to pour wine, but Mo Rigen snatched it and said, "I'll come and I'll come."
"Long history, this cup is for you." Artest said.
Hong Jun followed them to raise a toast to Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong said, "You are just injured, don't drink too much. I'll drink this for you."
Li Jinglong drank two glasses in a row and said, "Eat. Everyone is free."
The crowd threw the dishes, Li Jinglong ate the dishes, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent again.
"What's wrong?" Even Hongjun felt it.
"Nothing." Qiu Yongsi looked at Hong Jun with a smile and said, "Hong Jun, you are a good boy."
Li Jinglong sighed for a long time, put down the chopsticks, and said, "Say whatever you want, just listen."
Qiu Yongsi, Mo Rigen and Artest looked at each other, and after a moment Hong Jun asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Mo Rigen sighed and said, "Long history, Hong Jun, don't hide it, I have to go."
"Why ?!" Hong Jun's voice was disappointed with inexplicable surprise.
Li Jinglong did not answer, only looked at Mo Rigen quietly, then glanced at Qiu Yongsi.
Qiu Yongsi said: "I have to go too, long history, Hong Jun."
Artest smiled sadly: "You Han people often say that there is no banquet in the world, and I have to go back too, long history, Hongjun."
Hong Jun: "..."
Li Jinglong was silent.
"You ... you ..." Hong Jun thought he had heard it wrong and said, "Why? It's not easy to get rid of the demon king and stay in Chang'an? Chang'an is so good ... there's food and fun. of……"
"Hong Jun," cried the carp demon.
Mo Rigen sighed and said: "To be honest, long history, before coming, I have a task."
"Looking for the white deer?" Li Jinglong asked.
Hong Jun was very surprised, how did Li Jinglong know? The carp demon looked at Hong Jun's expression and said, "You are stupid, Mo Rigen asked something on the stargazing platform?"
Hong Jun remembered it and said, "But Chang'an doesn't have the trace of the white deer you said, or will I wait for Qingxiong and Chongming to ask me?"
"No." Mo Zhigen replied, "White Deer is the of dreams who guards the night. She is not a demon. She has disappeared from the grassland clan 120 years ago. I inherited the power of the blue wolf and must Find her. I came to Chang'an because I suspected that the demon king was imprisoning her. Now it seems that she is not in the Central Plains. So next time, I have to continue searching. "
"What happens if I can't find it?" Li Jinglong asked.
"The power of the White Deer is like your heart lamp." Mo Zhigen said, "She ran into everyone's dreams and expelled their nightmares. Once they disappeared, the power of the nightmare could not be dispelled, and the anger in the world. Will get heavier. "
Li Jinglong took a long breath, and Hong Jun frowned: "Where are we going to find this?"
Mo Zhigen said: "After leaving Chang'an, I will go south all the way first, and then go to Shuzhong to see. Long history, there is animism in the world, the world is full of spirits, monsters, monsters, gods and beasts. The relationship between one thing, one thing restrains one thing, and the other changes, and the whole body is moved by a start ... "
Li Jinglong raised his hand and gestured to know, no need to say anything. The room fell silent again.
"My mission is to find the black dragon 'escape prison' that escaped from the town dragon tower." Qiu Yongsi said to the crowd, "Two hundred years ago, it devoured many Jiao tribes, its strength was once strong, and it escaped from the bottom of the tower. And launched a war with the Feng people. "
Hong Jun felt awkward in his heart, and thought of the words of rebirth, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Later, the Feng people lost." Qiu Yongsi said, "Withdraw from the world, and the prison is hiding in the Central Plains. Before I came, I thought it became the Chang'an demon king, but now it seems, it is not.
"This is also a problem in my heart." Li Jinglong replied, "So, you intend to continue to search for the whereabouts of the prison, where will you find it later?"
Qiu Yongsi said: "Take it away and seal it back into the Zhenlong Tower."
"Where is Zhenlong Tower?" Hong Jun asked.
The carp demon said: "If I accidentally became a dragon, wouldn't I be caught in it too?"
"In a place where none of you can enter." Qiu Yongsi said, "It was built by the ancient immortal Guang Chengzi. Although it is called 'Zhenlong', it actually suppresses the fierce, bloodthirsty jiao. It is the guardian of Zhenlong Tower. "
In the silence, Qiu Yongsi sighed.
"I thought it came to Chang'an and turned into a demon king, but I didn't expect that the demon king in charge of this place was a nine-tailed fox ... so ..." Qiu Yongsi smiled bitterly, "The fall of the prison is like a haystack I'm afraid it's going to be a long time away from everyone. "
Li Jinglong pondered for a moment, then said to Artay: "So what about you?"
Artest replied: "When Your Majesty called me in the Jinhua Falls that night, I promised me to borrow me to buy horses in Kurtai County, Wusun Ancient Road, and sent me a hand letter ... you see?"
It was only after Mo Zhigen learned that he frowned: "The Kurtai area is too dangerous! The Huns are frequent. How do you stand?"
"I still have guards." Artai said to the crowd, "What's more I say, it is also a descendant of the Persian Holy King, hehe ..." Then he shook his fan and replied: "The ordinary Xiongnu, how could it be us Opponent? "
Li Jinglong nodded and said, "Why didn't I say anything after returning that night?"
Artest replied: "Long history, I don't want to cause any trouble to you and everyone. These days, I really thank you for your care."
He said that Bi'aitai stepped back, behaved properly, and bowed to the crowd. Hong Jun stepped forward to help, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Leaving is the best way." Qiu Yongsi said, "Changan demon king has been removed. I have been waiting for too long. I am afraid that I will be embarrassed by the emperor and the court officials.
"No need to talk any more." Li Jinglong interrupted.
Mo Zhigen observed Li Jinglong's expression and knew that the emperor had this fear.
"Will you come back?" Li Jinglong asked.
"After finding the White Deer, I will take her back to the grassland." Mo Rigen replied, "If you pass Chang'an, I would like to ask Chang Shi to host the marriage for us."
Li Jinglong laughed, but there was a bit of bitterness in that smile.
Qiu Yongsi said: "After taking the Black Jiao, I might still have to stand by the West Lake. After all, there is the only entrance to the Zhenlong Tower. However, it is possible to come to Chang'an occasionally. You are welcome to come and be a guest at any time."
Artest said: "I don't know if I can regain my homeland in my life, but if I can't mix it up one day, I may only come to the brethren."
Li Jinglong said: "I wish you would not come again."
Everyone laughed and smiled, each other's eyes were red, Li Jinglong sighed, sideways to avoid their eyes, Zhao Hongjun said: "What about you?"
Hong Jun was still in shock. He hadn't recovered in a while. After being asked this way, he subconsciously said: "I ... I ..."
Hong Jun actually didn't want to leave before leaving Yaojin Palace. Chongming and Qingxiong told him to do three things. One is to return the heart to the original owner, the other is to expel Changan Demon King, and the third is to find out the truth about his life experience ... If it didn't succeed, Chang'an Demon King would be destroyed, and the truth of his life experience would be known, but he didn't find his father and his enemies.
"I ... should I stay for a while?" Hong Jun stared at Li Jinglong, and suddenly felt that this farewell was too cruel for Li Jinglong. Although the gathering and dispersion are like clouds, the fate is fleeting, but Li Jinglong never seems to have a few friends. Once the exorcism is gone, there is no more demon in Changan, what can Li Jinglong do? Had to stay in the room all day and wait for their return.
When he heard this, Mo Rigen smiled and said, "Hong Jun, then you have to take good care of Long History."
Artest said: "Either the long history will be handed over to you. Anyway, you are also a prince. When you want to go home one day, you will piggyback him."
Qiu Yongsi immediately said: "That's it! A word is final!"
Li Jinglong: "..."
Hong Jun was afraid that Li Jinglong was too sad, he said: "Okay! It's a word!"
Li Jinglong said: "I haven't nodded yet! You one or two, just left! Is there a conscience?"
"You still have Hongjun." Qiu Yongsi smiled.
"That's right, you still have Hongjun." Artest and Morigen echoed, and toasted Li Jinglong. Without saying anything, Li Jinglong took the drink.
"It's okay to go," Li Jinglong said. "If Chang'an is trapped again, how will he find you?"
Mo Zhigen said: "The power of dreams is everywhere, but whenever Changan is angry, I will definitely come back."
Artest said: "You hand over the letter to the caravan heading to the Western Regions and let them take it to Kultai. If you need to, you can crush your bones and say nothing."
Qiu Yongsi replied: "Long history, you send the letter through the post to the West Lake Wanliu Villa in Hangzhou, and your family will naturally notify me."
Li Jinglong looked down at the wine glass and sighed: "From the day I met everyone, I knew that you would leave one day sooner or later, but I didn't expect to be so fast. Blame me, blame me ..."
"I blame you?" Mo Rigen smiled. "If it's not a long history, how can everyone work together ..."
"I blame I didn't cherish the days I spent with everyone." Li Jinglong raised his eyes, looked at the others, and slowly said, "I only hope that there is a chance to see you in this life."
As soon as these words came out, Qiu Yongsi, Mo Rigen and Artest all had tears in their eyes, and Hong Jun almost cried.
"I don't have anything to give you." Li Jinglong lowered his head, rubbing his brow with his slender fingers, and whispered, "At that time, you will take the horse away. Stay in the exorcism department, nor do I Will let others ride them. "Bi said with a smile.
Everyone was silent and nodded.
"Shall I play a song for everyone?" Artest hurriedly, turned to pick up the Barbat, and fiddled with the strings a few times without waiting for everyone to reply.
"Weicheng Chaoyu is light and dusty, the guest house is green and willow green ..."
"To persuade the king to enter a glass of wine and go out of the Yangguan west without a deceased ..."
Hong Jun often listened to this song "Yangguan Sandie", but every time he listened to it, he listened to the sound of the song until tonight, and he heard a few melancholy and a little bit sad.
The sound of Arte's piano flowed in the long night. After singing "Three Passages of Yangguan", Mo Rigen said: "Don't be so sad!"
"Good." Artest said. "Change one!"
"Chulechuan, under the Yinshan, the sky is green, the wild, the wind is low, see the cattle and sheep ..."
On this night, everyone sang, sang "Yangguan Sandie" and "Spring River Flower Night Moon" and sang "Just not see the water of the Yellow River coming to the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning, Gao Tang's mirror was sad and gray hair, and the sky turned into the evening "..." followed by "Changfeng Wanli sent Qiuyan, which can be a tall building, Penglai article Jian'an bone, middle small She Rongqing hair, draw a knife to cut off the water and flow more, raise the glass to eliminate sorrow and more worry ..."
At four o'clock, everyone was drunk and unconscious, lying down, leaning, or lying in front of the case, or lying down in the corner, the carp demon lying on the side of the case, occasionally fluttering his tail.
After a long time, Mo Rigen opened his eyes and rubbed his temple. Opening his drunken eyes, he got up quietly and exhaled.
"Brothers, there will be a period later." Morigen whispered.
He stood up slowly, kneeling in front of the door on one knee, covering his right chest with his left hand, bowed to salute, and then turned away. Not long after, Qiu Yongsi and Artest also woke up.
"Let's go now?" Qiu Yongsi asked with a mouth shape.
Artest nodded. When he left, he was the most sad. If he didn't say anything, he would leave.
At four o'clock, at the foot of Lishan Mountain, Artest, Morigan and Qiu Yongsi stood in front of Maguan Road.
Artest: "I go west."
"I go to the northeast." Morigen said.
"I'm going south." Qiu Yongsi said, "Brothers, then, let's just stop here. The sky is high and the road is far away.
Mo Zhigen said: "The mountains are vast, the sea is vast, and there will be a day of goodbye."
Artest laughed: "Hey monkey! I will miss you!"
"Actually, I have wanted to ask for a long time." Qiu Yongsi said, "Hey, what does it mean?"
Artest said: "This is the greeting of the reunion of the best friend of the Persians,‘ ah! See you again, dear best friend ’."
Mo Rigen laughed: "When we first saw you, you said the same thing. At that time, I could not have lived my life, and I was not a good friend."
Artest looked at the deep night sky. On the plain, the Big Dipper shining on the horizon.
"I've known it since then." Artai replied leisurely, "Everyone will become a close friend one day. The fate, as if the waters meet, is actually destined, what's wrong?
Atei Zema left and plunged into the vast night, Qiu Yongsi also "drived", turned the horse's head, and went south to the official road.
Mo Zhigen looked back at Lishan, then looked at a leather saddle behind him, and whispered: "Long history, Hongjun, take care of yourself ... drive!"
Sanqi turned around and disappeared in the deepest part of the plain.
