Inside the tent, Long Shen sat cross-legged, and said to He Yu and Yu without regret: "I can't control the devilish energy in my body."

He Yu was slightly shocked and couldn't believe it: "Has it reached this point?"

In his mind, no, in almost everyone's mind, Long Shen is omnipotent, and he never needs others to worry. , Even if Che Bai is older than him and has a great background, everyone respectfully calls him the Che Bureau, but in the real fight, Long Shen may not be at a disadvantage. It is precisely because this man is so powerful that he will always be the solid and strong support of everyone in the second group. Everyone admires and loves Long Shen, and is willing to give everything for him, but he has forgotten, intentionally or unintentionally, that Long Shen is not actually a god, even Zong Ling has fallen. Now, how could Long Shen have no weaknesses and not be injured?

Long Shen nodded and looked at his and Yu Buhui's worried expressions.

"The devilish qi here is very strong, maybe you have astral qi to protect your body, and you haven't felt much yet, but I already have residual devilish qi in my body. The place is bigger."

Yu did not regret: "What if I leave here?"

Long Shen shook his head: "Zong Lao and the car bureau have both died, and now you have seen the seal they forged, and it is impossible to completely contain the demonic energy. What's the difference? Except for me, there is no one who can replace the Phoenix who originally guarded the formation. Even if He Yu proposed the method, it is just a gamble."

The fish does not regret and cannot refute.

Long Shen said: "If you win the bet, everything will be fine, if you lose, you, the people outside, and more people will have to make sacrifices, but I don't want to see this happen, I hope the winter solstice can Live well, I don't want him to come over to accompany me on a big gamble, the magical creatures have a long lifespan, but they are not more precious than mortals whose lifespans are short. Because I am the creation of mortals."

"Boss..."

Long Shen looked at He Yu and said warmly, "I'd rather see you play games and play games and spread boring information, and I don't want to see you sacrifice to block the demonic energy, although you, Kan Chaosheng, and Zhong Yu are one My subordinates, but I have never regarded you as my subordinates, do you understand?"

He met a man of five big and three rough, and tears were already streaming down his face.

He used to think that crying nose was the act of a girl, but now he felt that even if he cried a lot, he couldn't express the pain and powerlessness in his heart.

Long Shen said: "Your ability has long been enough to be on your own, but I think you are very playful and have never let you out. This time the Special Administrative Bureau has suffered heavy losses. I am afraid that Bureau Wu will have to rest for a long time. I will not be here in the future. It's the leader of the second group, it's all up to you to see Chaosheng and them."

Speaking of which, he suddenly lowered his head and laughed at himself.

"I don't know if it's because of the infiltration of demonic energy, but now I find that my selfishness is getting heavier and heavier. I'm talking about protecting the world. In fact, up to now, he is the only one I want to protect the most."

He Yu sobbed: "Boss, don't say that, I know you want the world to be peaceful more than anyone else, otherwise you wouldn't make this decision, I'll watch the little winter solstice, but sooner or later he'll know what you're doing , since you want to protect him, you shouldn't lie to him!"

Long Shen said calmly: "I didn't lie to him. After he read my notes, he would naturally know how to do it. Only he can do this."

Yu does not regret not crying like He Yu, because he has been with Long Shen longer than He Yu, and knows that what Long Shen has decided will never change. Instead of being sad here, it is better to think about how he can help. Maybe more practical.

"Senior brother, if you decide, just do it. I will protect the Dharma for you. I hope you don't forget that the Winter Solstice is still waiting for you."

Long Shen smiled: "Thank you, I will try my best."

Outside, Zhang Zhangjiao has already sent people to go back immediately to get the jade plaque, but it will take a lot of time to come and go. Tibet is closer to here. A slap-sized pure gold pagoda, which enshrines relics.

Wanting to replace the role of the Array Eye Spirit Tool, even if it is only temporary, is not something that mortals can do. Although Long Shen didn't reveal his true body just now, he was all a well-known big man in the cultivation world. There were not many people who could hear the overtones, and no one asked any further questions. When they saw him coming out, Zheng Sect and Song Zhicun greeted him.

"Dragon Bureau, since we want to imitate the layout of the small Bafang Demon-fighting Array, in addition to the eyes, we must also need seven other stone tablets. Now it will be too late. We want to replace the position of the stone tablets with our bodies." Master Zheng said. .

Song Zhicun: "That's right, we discussed it just now. Sect Master Zheng and I each counted one, and Sect Leader Xin from Longhu Mountain, Maoshan, and Hezao Mountain also expressed their willingness. Living Buddha is in charge."

No one will shirk and retreat in the face of such a crisis. Even if there are some feuds and festivals between various factions on weekdays, everyone knows that if the skin does not exist, the hair will not be attached. Once the passage is completely opened, the abyss and hell will be connected to the world. If they become one piece, then it will not only be the era of the end of the law, but a complete purgatory.

Long Shen said, "Others can, but you can't."

Song Zhicun was taken aback.

Long Shen: "Wu Bingtian has been injured, and we are both here again. If you have another accident, the Special Administration Bureau will be headless."

Song Zhicun's Adam's apple moved up and down, he really didn't know what to say.

He was worried about Long Shen's life and the situation in front of him, but Long Shen always thought about the overall situation.

"I come!"

Yu Bu regrets striding forward from behind.

"I'm here to take Song Bureau's place!"

He Yu said to his master Xin Zhangmen with red eyes: "Master, let me take your place."

Head Xin pulled him aside and slapped him hard on the back of his head: "Do you think you're playing a family? You haven't reached that level yet, don't talk nonsense, this is not Kong Rong Rangli, you too Don't think you have nothing to do, just follow me, if I can't stand it, I really have to ask you to come!"

He Yu touched the aching head and muttered, "You can't take it lightly!"

"Before you came out, I already explained to your senior brother. If I can't go back, the Hezao Sect will have to be passed on to him. But," Head Xin glared at him and paused, "I hope you can go back. "

He Yu looked at his master and felt the sadness of wanting to cry but not being able to cry for the first time.

"Don't show such an expression!" Sect Leader Xin smiled, without the fear of doing a major event that might endanger his life. "The man is upright, but you have a clear conscience, and even more so for practitioners. If I don't take action this time, I will leave my own demons in the future, not to mention cultivation, and even people can't do well. You go and prepare, we will also There are some talismans to draw, you come and help."

He Yu replied in a low voice, "I can help now!"

Sect Master Xin frowned: "Before drawing a talisman, you need to burn incense, bathe and change clothes. Only with sincerity can you talisman. Now it's very time, and you don't need to do so much. Cleaning your hands and mind is the most basic thing!"

He Yu glanced at his master's hand: "Your hands are not much cleaner than mine!"

Before the head of Xin beat him, he jumped away first, and ran in three steps and two steps.

...

In front of the winter solstice, it will definitely not be a fairy tale book, just a notebook with a fairy tale book cover.

This notebook has been seen on the train at the Winter Solstice, and I dared to open it. He Yu said that it is a ghost painting, and now the Winter Solstice naturally knows that it is not a ghost painting, but a letter.

Looking closely at this moment, he found that the cover looked intentionally aged, just like the nostalgic notebooks on the market.

The big yellow cat and the octopus were lying on the table, watching the winter solstice and Cheng Hui studying the notebook.

"He Yu bought this book to memorize the game strategy, but the boss found it and confiscated it." Kan Chaosheng said with a flick of his tail.

When the winter solstice laughed, he felt that Long Shen didn't seem to like this kind of childish style.

No, it should be said that Long Shen doesn't choose any style. For him, a book is enough as long as he can memorize things.

"You guys go get busy." He said to Kan Chaosheng and Octopus Meika.

Kan Chaosheng was a little worried: "Is the boss alright in Kunlun Mountain, I heard that Zong Lao has sacrificed?"

The winter solstice comforted him: "It's okay, there are Song Bureau and the others, you have to trust my master's ability."

Seeing that Chaosheng's demon power is still too weak, it can't help him at all in this matter, and the Winter Solstice doesn't want him to worry too much.

"Meika has just arrived in China, and she doesn't even speak Chinese fluently, but I don't have time to take her to see Senior Wuzhiqi, so I'll have to trouble you to take her with me for the time being."

"I brought it with me these past few days!" Kan Chaosheng jumped off the table first, with a look of "you have to say more about this trivial matter".

Octopus waved his tentacles at the Winter Solstice quite politely, and left behind with the white cat.

After two seconds, a tentacle reappeared at the door, closing the door that had been forgotten to close.

Cheng Hui was stunned: "An octopus with a high IQ!"

Winter Solstice thought to himself that he would be even more surprised when he saw that Maika could speak fluent English.

"Sorry, I asked you to come over as soon as you got off the plane, and you couldn't take a rest!" Winter Solstice said apologetically.

Cheng Hui waved his hand: "I've already heard from the head master, it's not too late, let's start right away!"

Solstice nodded.

Cheng Hui opened the notebook and began to translate the Winter Solstice word by word.

During the winter solstice, he was attentive, holding the book while listening and writing, so that after a period of time, he might be able to try to interpret it by himself, without bothering Cheng Hui to read the thick book.

Long Shen's handwriting is flying like a phoenix, but the font is not large. It has almost filled a book, and there are only two or three pages left. The winter solstice knows. If you want to know the solution related to the stone tablet as soon as possible, you must read it from the back. up, and then slowly turn forward.

On March 16th, I am going to Kunlun Mountains, I hope there is still room for recovery.

In winter solstice, it is rare to hear Long Shen say things like "hope" and "expectation", because the words themselves have already pinned the hope of realizing something on others, and Long Shen will never do this, Whatever he wants to do, he will do it himself.

This may be the first time he has written his thoughts in words.

It shows that he has realized that the situation in Kunlun Mountain is far more difficult than everyone imagined.

On March 11th, Otowa Hatohiko died, and Ding Lan's remnant was brought back, but the matter is not over yet, and Che Bai has been sacrificed. I remember the conversation with Zong Ling before the trip to Japan. If it reaches that point , this may be the only way out.

any solution?

A huge question arose in the heart of the winter solstice, he and Cheng Hui looked at each other, and the latter turned the page forward again.

On March 1, Zong Ling gave me the four-image fixed star lamp.

To me, even if the spirits of White Tiger, Suzaku, and Qinglong were condensed on it, it was just an unusable tool, but the infusion of Zong Ling's spirit made this lamp come alive. But I said to Zong Ling, Otoyu Yuhiko has the help of the ancient stone box, and its power is far more powerful than the avatars of humans and demons or demons. The four-image fixed star lamp is now only complete with "wicks" at best, and it needs "fire leads". to completely ignite it.

Zong Ling knew that what I said was right, but she was helpless. After thinking for a long time, I finally came up with an effective method.

This method is to let me act as the "fire lead", by attracting demonic energy into the body, activate the four-image fixed star lamp, let it trap Yinyu, and I can take the opportunity to completely eliminate him.

Zong Ling strongly opposed it, but I have made up my mind.

I know that this method may cause a hidden danger, that is, the magic energy after entering the body may lose control, even dominate my will, and eventually assimilate me into a monster. When I have to, my retreat is the winter solstice.

Seeing this, the heartbeat of the winter solstice became faster and faster, and the breathing became faster.

"Why am I the one who retreated?"

Fine sweat emerged from the tip of Cheng Hui's nose, and he continued to read.

I once injected half of my soul into Changshoujian, which would take away some of my power. I didn't want the Winter Solstice to think about it, and I didn't tell him.

He is now more and more in line with Changshoujian. One day, he will be able to reach the realm of the unity of man and sword, and the connection of spirit and soul. At that time, Changshoujian will give him more power and vitality, and maybe his lifespan will be longer than Others are longer, fulfilling his wish to go down with me.

But, I know, not everyone likes immortality, at least I don't. In the past, I didn’t have much feeling, only people come and go, like grass and trees withered, let it go, but after getting to know the winter solstice, I gradually understand that it is very helpless to watch the people I care about die old and die, but I am still alive. matter.

This may be the reason why I have been unable to finally break through from the body of the demigod. In fact, I am no longer a pure sword. I have human nature, but I knew very little before and never explored it in depth.

Although I want him to be with me all the time, I can't impose this will on him. I don't know how human beings like a person, but I think it should be what he wants. I will try my best to help him complete it. He doesn't want Yes, I will never force it.

I didn't mention it to the winter solstice because I was also worried that he had too much affection for me. If I heard that I could spend more time with me, I would have agreed without hesitation, but any unthought-out decision would be Not a real decision, and bad for him.

Originally, I wanted to wait for everything to settle, and then find another opportunity to talk to him, but I never thought that this foreshadowing would become my retreat. If I was assimilated by monsters, there would be no one in the world who could stop me. Shoujian is the only existence that can solve me or save me.

Hopefully things haven't gotten that bad, because I want to stay with the winter solstice a little longer.

Too bad it was too late to meet him.

Before this notebook, I wrote many other books, but I burned them all, not because of forgetfulness, but because I wanted to use words to leave some traces. Words are also alive, and even if burned, they once existed.

And now this one, I'm a little reluctant to destroy it.

Cheng Hui looked at the winter solstice with tears in his eyes, and said softly, "Do you still read it?"

Winter Solstice closed his eyes: "Cheng Hui, I already know how to help Master, and now I want to go to Kunlun immediately, I want to save the previous part of this notebook to read on the way, but there may be some vocabulary in it, I have to ask You help translate."

Cheng Hui: "I'll go with you!"

The winter solstice shook his head: "It's very dangerous there now. Your master and brother are already there. If they can't solve it, it's useless for you to go. It's better to stay in the general bureau to be safe."

Cheng Hui nodded, but didn't insist. After all, he knew his abilities very well. He thought that he had to trouble his senior brothers and the Winter Solstice to save him when he fell into the trap of human beings and demons in Guangzhou.

"Then be careful, I will turn it on 24 hours a day, and you can send me any questions you have at any time!"

Liu Qingbo and the others had already set off for Kunlun, and now, apart from Cheng Hui and the Winter Solstice, Liu Si was the only one present.

Liu Si is a very reliable companion. He doesn't talk much, but he can always make a difference at critical moments.

Hearing this, he immediately got up and said, "There may not be a seat for the ticket temporarily, and there are not many flights to Tibet. I will contact Bureau Wu immediately and ask him to try to free up a special plane. Go and pack your things!"

Without waiting for the winter solstice to thank him, he had already gone out.

...

Two hours later, Winter Solstice and Liu Si were already sitting on the plane to Kunlun Mountain. Since it was a special plane, the plane would land at the airport of the military region closest to Longshen and the others, and then take a car from there, but even so, at least It will take a day to arrive, and this does not include the time to enter the Nalangele Canyon.

Fastening his seat belt, listening to the announcement of the upcoming take-off in the airport, the winter solstice lowered his head and opened the two notebooks lying flat on his lap again.

One is Long Shen's notebook, and the other is a translation note he learned from Cheng Hui, but even if he has this note, he has to fill it out word by word, and then read it together. Humanly, it takes a lot of time, but Winter Solstice doesn't care. He already knows what Long Shen said, so this time, he chooses to start from scratch.

The beginning of this notebook was remembered three weeks before the winter solstice when I met Long Shen.

At that time, the Special Administration Bureau had just discovered the strange movement of the monsters, and learned from the clues provided by the Northeast Branch that a group of Japanese changed their names and surnames after entering the country normally and disappeared quietly. It appeared near Changbai Mountain, so Long Shen took He Yu and Kan Chaosheng on the train to Changchun.

On February 15, 2017, a large-scale sneaking yaksha appeared on the train, causing one person to go missing and one person to die. This is the second group's negligence and the responsibility of my wrong judgment. There was a passenger named Winter Solstice in the car. His name was very coincidental, and he still had a faint devilish energy on his body. It was suspected that he might be related to a monster, and it was to be verified.

This is the first record of the winter solstice in this notebook, starting from the beginning.

Before that, there was basically a few words of work documentary, and there was not even any personal touch, which was in line with Long Shen's consistent character.

Looking back now, even the winter solstice felt that the timing of his appearance was indeed too coincidental, and no one could not doubt it.

After he stepped into the practitioner, he also learned that the winter solstice is the solar term at the junction of yin and yang in a year. Scientifically speaking, this day is the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, and the yang declines when the day is short. , The yang energy was blocked, and business travel was not possible. His birthday was originally yin, and he used the name of the winter solstice. It happened that it was not far from the winter solstice solar term, so he was regarded as an excellent prey by the demons on the train.

Now he naturally knows how dangerous his situation was at that time. If he hadn't just met He Yu and Long Shen, the grass on the tomb would be three meters high, but after the series of adventures on the train, not only did he not have too much fear , on the contrary, curiosity prevailed, and he continued to travel to Changbai Mountain.

But who would have thought that his life would turn abruptly when he thought about it?

Even back more than a year ago, he never regretted it.

Winter Solstice sighed softly and continued to look down.

On February 23, it turned out that the real goal of the Japanese was the stone tablet, not the bone dragon.

What is the origin of the talisman on the stone tablet? Haven't seen it before. To be verified. (emphasis added)

Long Shen drew the talisman on the stone tablet below this sentence, which should be based on his own memory. Perhaps to prevent leaks, he only drew half of it.

The Winter Solstice was also present when the bone dragon was slaughtered, but he did not see the shattering of the stele with his own eyes. Until later, he himself participated in it and saw the stele that was supposed to be guarded by Wuzhiqi. The talismans above are indeed basically not much different from those drawn by Long Shen.

After that, several articles in succession were related to business affairs. It was more like a memo of a work nature than a diary. Because it was written in obedience, almost no one could understand it. Cheng Hui said that the obituary used by Long Shen belonged to There is a big difference between the ancient scriptures and the few ghost books that have been circulated in modern times. And the winter solstice can feel that there should be some kind of restriction on the note, maybe it will self-destruct after a certain period of time, or even if it falls into the hands of the rogue, Long Shen can know.

In order to check the translation from left to right, he watched the Winter Solstice very slowly. He also knew that Long Shen’s notes would definitely not describe a bunch of trivial things like ordinary people, but he still didn’t want to let go of any records, because it was Long Shen’s Every footprint left in the world.

In Long Shen's heart at that time, the most important thing was to trace the purpose of the Japanese and the follow-up of the stele. After verifying that he had nothing to do with monsters, this winter solstice visitor would not be worthy of the other party's attention.

Seeing this, Winter Solstice couldn't help but laugh silently.

He was curious, and then turned back, how Long Shen would write about him.

A mortal who is curious but has no self-knowledge, or a persevering, persistent and commendable teacher?

Outside the window, the clouds undulating, and the rays of the sun are shining.

And he was walking back step by step, following the road that the man had traveled.
