Tuoba Yan said: "You are worried if you can't see the Great Shanyu for a moment, or ask him to come?"

Chen Xing waved his hand and replied, "Tell me."

Chen Xing was a little nervous and depressed, afraid that his mood would affect Tuoba Yan, but he chose to come to find him at this time.

The two walked across the Luo River bank and passed through the falling poplar flowers.

Tuoba Yan stretched out his slender fingers, picked up the willow flowers that fell on Chen Xing's shoulder, and said, "I think I'll ask you something, Tianchi."

Chen Xingyang was puzzled.

Tuoba Yan thought for a while and said, "I lost my father when I was young. Your Majesty treats me like my father. I...I know I have no position to say this, but..."

"I understand," Chen Xing replied, "Fu Jian is very good to you."

When Fu Jian was the king of a country, he took the risk of committing crimes against the Great Shanyu and personally brought Tuoba Yan to Chen Xing about his in-laws. Chen Xing still remembers it. I believe Fu Jian really loved Tuoba Yan very much.

"I don't want your Majesty to be controlled by Wang Ziye, nor do I want to see him suffer humiliation." Tuoba Yan said, "If possible, I want to go back and order the imperial guards to protect His Majesty. Can you ask you to convey to the Great Shanyu and return His Majesty to us at that time?"

Chen Xing said "yes", thinking that Xiang Shu and Fu Jian were old acquaintances, and they would not be humiliated by Fu Jian anyway, but Xie Anke may not be the case. He represents the interests of a country and has to take ruthless actions when it is time to take ruthless actions.

"Xiang Shu is happy," said Chen Xing, "My senior brother is most likely not happy, but I will find a way. As long as Wang Ziye is eliminated, Xiang Shu will return Fu Jian to you and will not let him fall into the hands of us Han people, let alone, whoever bullies him may not necessarily."

Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "I will do my best to protect you."

If Tuoba Yan could instigate the Imperial Army, it would be a powerful move. I just don’t know how many people under the Imperial Army could distinguish right from wrong, disobey Fu Jian’s orders, and turn to Tuoba Yan.

"Xiang Shu!" Chen Xing said to Xiang Shu.

Xiang Shu stood on the shore and looked down at the river. Chen Xing was a little depressed because Xiang Shu lied to him and said, "What we are talking about..."

He knew that Xiang Shu must have heard it. This guy and Xiao Shan's ears were very strong. Every time he walked over, they could immediately notice it from the east wing to the west wing, dozens of steps away.

"I really didn't listen!" Xiang Shu said a little annoyed, "Who do you think of me? You say whatever you like, and don't want to care about you."

Tuoba Yan smiled awkwardly, obviously remembering what happened under the tree in Chilechuan, so he waved his hand and signaled Chen Xing not to quarrel.

Chen Xing was amused and cried, saying, "Then what are you doing?"

"Think about things." Xiang Shu said, "I don't care what you said, continue to say."

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Xing couldn't help but want to anger him, and said, "Do you want to go down the river to take a shower?"

Xiang Shu: "How do you want to throw you into the river!"

It was midnight that Tuoba Yan had made an appointment with Chen Xing, but unexpectedly they watched the two of them quarreled. For a while, Chen Xing had to ignore Xiang Shu and side by side with Tuoba Yan and bypass Yang Shulin.

Xiang Shu suddenly smelled himself, and when he saw the two of them left, he slowly followed him.

"Is this the matter?" Chen Xing smiled, "It's worth your special trip in the middle of the night. If you have time, it's the same."

Tuoba Yan laughed and said, "Because he is like my father, to me, he is my only relative."

Chen Xing thought about it and understood Tuoba Yan's mood. In fact, Xiang Shu didn't want to humiliate Fu Jian, and he didn't intend to hand him over to the Han people. From this point of view, Tuoba Yan and Xiang Shu had the same original intention.

"I will discuss it with Xiang Shu." Chen Xing replied.

"It's late at night, you go back." Tuoba Yan stood in the middle of the street and signaled to Chen Xing. Xiang Shu also stopped at the other end. Chen Xing nodded and patted Tuoba Yan's arm.

Xiang Shu was still angry and didn't know what he was thinking. When he saw Chen Xing come back, he turned around and left without waiting for him.

After returning to the yard, Xiao Shan looked at Chen Xing with a little curiousness. Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "Xiao Shan, what did Tuoba Yan ask you that day?"

Xiao Shan replied, "It's nothing. Ask me how you and your brother are doing. Where have you been to and what have you done."

"Brother?" Chen Xing said strangely, "Whose brother? Do you still have a brother?"

Xiao Shan pointed to the inn hall, Chen Xing understood, he was talking about Xiang Shu! He felt very funny and said, "You call him brother?"

Xiao Shan: "I don't know what to call him, so he asked me to call him brother."

Does Xiang Shu have such a side?

Chen Xing sat down and said, "Did you tell Tuoba Yan all?"

Xiao Shan pillowed his arms, facing the moon in the sky, looked at Chen Xing with his head tilted, and said, "I tell him, when you were sleeping, my brother took off his clothes and went to bed to kill you..."

"What?!" Chen Xing was immediately exploded after hearing this half of the sentence and said crazy, "What are you talking about?"

So Xiao Shan described the scene of Xiang Shu holding him on the day when Chen Xing was unconscious and Chen Xing said in detail: "Why don't I know?!"

"You are sleeping," Xiao Shan looked at Chen Xing for no reason and said, "Of course I don't know."

"What then?" Chen Xing showed an embarrassing expression.

Xiao Shan: "I didn't see it later, I don't know."

Chen Xing grabbed Xiao Shan's collar and said, "Why don't you look at it?"

Xiao Shan said: "He won't let me see it! He wants to hit me!"

Chen Xing held his forehead with one hand and said, "You have never mentioned such an important thing to me?"

Xiao Shan said: "Is it very important?"

Xiao Shan's tone was exactly the same as Xiang Shu. The rhetorical question was always sarcastic. Chen Xing said: "You can't learn from him anymore... you've learned bad things! This look all day long, just like someone else owes you two money. Did he bribe you? No wonder I saw him teaching you martial arts all day long..."

Xiao Shan replied: "He said that if one day he dies, let me protect you."

Chen Xing: “…”

"Oh..." Chen Xing said, "Yes, is that right? But how could he die? Forget it... How could he be so capable of fighting? Xiao Shan, I ask you... well..."

When Chen Xing heard this, his nose suddenly became sore. What was Xiang Shu thinking all day long? He glanced at Xiao Shan, but changed his mind and said, "It's nothing."

Xiao Shan said, "I said you don't need my protection. He said you want it. He said you are lonely, and you are lonely than others. You have never seen the best in the world, and you have no relatives. From the day he saw you, you have never been really happy."

Chen Xing laughed and said, "This is wrong. I am very happy now, right?" He said that, and touched Xiao Shan's head.

Xiao Shan looked at Chen Xing and replied, "No, you are like Lu Ying, like you are going to die tomorrow, and you are a little sad when you laugh."

Chen Xing: “…”

Forget it. Chen Xing thought to himself, both of you are so good at observing words and expressions, let alone I can live for more than a year! Don’t curse me, okay! What if I die tomorrow, bah!

That night, Xiaoshan's words injected a lot of information into him, making him toss and turn on the couch. What did Xiang Shu do when he was unconscious? But he didn't think anything was abnormal at all!

He wanted to get up to ask Xiang Shu, but it would be even more strange if he asked.

And at this moment, a knock on the door came.

"I'm sleeping?" Xiang Shu said, "I have something to say to you, Chen Xing."

Chen Xing got up and was embarrassed after listening to Xiao Shan’s retelling. He wanted to ignore him, but Xiang Shu had already pushed the door in. Chen Xing was naked and wearing only a pair of trousers. He immediately sat down to the edge of the bed. Xiang Shu was also shirtless, revealing his upper body, only wearing white trousers, and had cold water droplets on his face. It seemed that he had just washed his face with well water to wake up.

"You..." Chen Xing frowned, "I haven't said I'm coming in yet!"

"What did Tuoba Yan say to you again?" Xiang Shu said in confusion.

Chen Xing passed on Tuoba Yan's request to Xiang Shu, and Xiang Shu casually said, "I understand."

Chen Xing asked: "Is that OK? I guess your original intention is also..."

Xiang Shu said impatiently: "I said, I understand! Do you not understand what I mean?"

Chen Xing understood that Xiang Shu meant "yes", so he stopped talking about it to avoid being beaten.

"What do you want to say?" Chen Xing said.

Xiang Shu said: "I was outside just now, didn't you let me take a shower?"

"Are you two sick in the middle of the night?" Chen Xing replied, "Come and come and talk to me about taking a shower?"

"No!" Xiang Shu couldn't help but become irritable again.

Chen Xing urged: "Hurry up, I'll go back to bed after I finished speaking. When is it time?"

"You..." Xiang Shu suddenly became angry, clenched his fists, and Chen Xing said, "Are you crazy? Was you woke me up in the middle of the night and wanted to hit me?"

Xiang Shu had to suppress his anger and came out without any anger. The boy and Tuoba Yan talked outside for a long time without wasting time. He was driven away as soon as he came and almost got angry to death. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he walked to the bedroom door, but changed his mind and said in a deep voice: "Don't regret if you don't listen, I'll put my words here."

Chen Xing had taken advantage of Xiang Shu's turn around and stared at Xiang Shu's half-naked figure. Seeing Xiang Shu about to turn around, he immediately looked unfair and turned his eyes away: "You said it! You didn't want you to say it!"

Xiang Shu walked a few steps in the room and glanced at Chen Xing. Chen Xing was stunned and looked at Xiang Shu strangely. Xiang Shu finally calmed down and said impatiently: "Just just now, I was discussing something with Xie An. We suddenly mentioned that I thought of this when I could leave through the earth veins."

Chen Xing: "Oh?"

Xiang Shu sat down by the couch: "I thought of a plan, but I don't know if it will work. The plan is based on Wang Ziye's ability to leave his soul and move around, so let me sort it out..."

Chen Xing said: "You want to follow Wang Ziye and sneak into the Illusion Demon Palace through the Earth Vein, right? But I am bluntly speaking, the Earth Vein only accepts spiritual bodies, and it is absolutely impossible to do unless we give up our physical body."

"What is 'Borrowing a corpse to revive the soul'?" Xiang Shu suddenly asked.

Chen Xing thought about it and learned this, and explained: "The method he used to 'borrow corpse and resurrected the soul' was recorded in ancient times. Some ghosts with particularly powerful power can indeed find living people after death, or temporarily parasitize dead people for a period of time."

Xiang Shu said: "Wang Ziye should have used this method, just like the black gas released from his body after Xie Anyao poured out the person he possessed that day, that is his three souls and seven spirits."

Chen Xing frowned and nodded.

"Yes, strictly speaking, he should be considered a ghost," Chen Xing said, "or the free soul that exists independently in the world. I have imagined many possibilities. Why is he not like other souls, who will be sucked into the heavenly veins and enter the samsara after death? Perhaps he used the human resentment and blood of the demon god to refine himself, so that he could act freely in the form of the soul leaving the body."

After a person dies, the three souls and seven spirits will soon disappear between heaven and earth, be sucked away by the heaven and earth veins, and enter the samsara and reincarnation. The resentment and unwillingness brought out from the soul will be purified under the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the resentment and spiritual energy will rush together and resist each other.

Zhang Liu took away the spiritual energy with Dinghaizhu, which also led to the inability to purify the resentment. Then the resentment that Wang Ziye gathered was actually a defense of his own.
