A tense atmosphere filled the Shouyang Mansion. Xie Xuan spread out the map. Everyone was ready before. Shouyang would never be able to stop Fu Jian’s Iron Cavalry. He would inevitably be broken into the city and then massacred like Xiangyang three years ago. So as soon as the soldiers of the Northern Palace entered Shouyang, Xie An decisively made the wisest move - to withdraw all the 90% of the people in the city back to Moling, leaving only the civilians and a few craftsmen.

While Zhu Xu came to persuade the surrender, the military order was immediately issued, and all the few civilians left in the city were withdrawn.

When Xiang Shu came back, he saw that nine out of ten rooms in the city were empty along the way.

"At the third update tonight," Xie An said, "the remaining soldiers of the Northern Mansion will also withdraw and retreat to Luojian, 70 miles away from Shouyang, find an opportunity to fight with them and consume the strength of their vanguard troops. It's great! Martial God, you are indeed back!"

So everyone told me that the meal was chatting and eating in the hall. They cooked all the delicious food in Shouyang, and they ate as rich as the silenced rice.

"On the way back, I met General Liu Laozhi," Xiang Shu said, "I was preparing to ambush in Luojian, how many people did he bring?"

Xie Xuan replied: "Five thousand people, I hope the prison moves faster." As he said that, he said to Xie An again: "This is the most number of people participating in the battle since ancient times."

Chen Xing: “…”

When everyone recalled historical records, they suddenly realized that this was indeed the largest battle in history... The only one that can be compared with this battle in the past hundred years is Chibi, but even in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao had only 500,000 people.

Xie An said: "It seems yes, um."

Chen Xing said: "Why are you talking about other people's war?"

Xie An said: "Little brother, don't look at me as if I'm fine, I'm fine. In fact, everyone is so guilty now."

So everyone burst into laughter, Chen Xing was helpless, Wang Xizhi said: "Is the God of Martial Arts going to fight with us?"

"I have something more important," Xiang Shu said, "It's up to you."

Xie An said to Chen Xing again: "Since the God of Martial Arts is back, I can't say that my senior brother will ask you a leave... Logically speaking, the senior brother cannot ignore the affairs of Qianjun and Xiaoshan brothers, but the country is in danger. If you have exorcism in the past few days, the senior brother will really not be able to play..."

Chen Xing rushed to the scene and said, "Let's fight your war! It's time to still think about exorcism!"

Everyone laughed again, Xiang Shu finished his meal soon, and the meal was over. Everyone stopped talking and looked at him, looking forward to what he said or bringing news to turn the situation around.

But Xiang Shu only said: "Take a shower, Chen Xing, you can continue to chat with them."

So he got up and left.

Chen Xing wanted to ask him something, but when he thought that the person had returned, it was not too late to ask at any time, so he chatted with Xie An, Wang Xizhi and others. Seeing that the sky was already dark, Xie An said, "Okay, everyone hurry up and take a break first. You have to escape from the third update. Junior brother, senior brother will send you back to your room."

Chen Xing knew that he had something to say or wanted to see Xiang Shu, but when he saw Wang Xizhi laughing and stood up, following Xie An. After a while, Xie Xuan also came. Huan Yi, who had been on a mission to Luoyang with them, finished his military affairs, returned to the hall to have some tea, and followed them.

Chen Xing: "????"

So Chen Xing followed a large group of people, Xie An only chatted with Huan Yi, while Wang Xizhi lamented that Shouyang was so beautiful, but unfortunately it was ruined by the Hu people. Chen Xing thought that you were just looking for Xiang Shu, and following him with such a mighty momentum, it seemed like a fight.

In the courtyard outside Chen Xing's bedroom, there was a yard full of light. Xie Daoyun handed a lamp to Xiang Shu, and Xiang Shu raised his hand and hung it on the treetops.

"Wow!" Chen Xing saw that the whole yard was full of lamps, colorful and extremely beautiful, even more dazzling than during the Lantern Festival. There were several couches in the yard, and there were coffee tables on them, and fresh fruits and snacks were placed on them.

"Here you come." Xie Daoyun smiled.

Xiang Shu stood under the tree and looked at Chen Xing.

Chen Xing: "What are you doing?! Are you having a holiday?" I thought you were planning to leave the city and run for life, so I took out all the good things and overeated them.

"I wish you a blessing." Xie Daoyun smiled and said, "After waiting for three months, your martial god finally came back."

Xiang Shu had already taken a shower, specially cleaned it up, changed into a navy civil and military robe with bright eyes, looked at Chen Xing, and said, "It's all today, I remember correctly?"

"It's not that today is passed today," Wang Xizhi said with a smile.

"Yes." Chen Xing's eyes were moist. He didn't expect that during the war, there was still such a small world and the warmth in it.

"Your tribe members are all here today," Xiang Shu sat down on the couch and said to Chen Xing beside him, "I am no longer alone."

Chen Xing was very happy, but couldn't speak, and then replied, "It wasn't."

Xie An, Xie Daoyun, Xie Xuan, Wang Xizhi, Huan Yi and others found a place to sit. Feng Qianjun, who was closest to him, did not come, and Tuoba Yan was already dead. Thinking of this, Chen Xing couldn't help feeling a little sad, but knew that he would never be defeated at this moment, so he smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Tianchi is nineteen years old today." Xie An said with a smile.

"Yes," Chen Xing said, "It's nineteen."

Xie Daoyun said: "Next year is twenty, and you can get the championship."

Chen Xing said "Yes" and said, "After the ceremony, I'll invite everyone to come."

Everyone then said it was good.

Wang Xizhi said: "When we were nineteen years old, we forgot what we were doing."

Huan Yi said: "I guess he is wearing a sword on his waist, looking for immortals everywhere, and he is silly and silly, just to learn from his master."

Everyone couldn't help laughing again, and Xie An quipped, "I didn't expect that after searching for a lifetime, I found a great exorcist at this age and accompanied him to celebrate this birthday. I really can't say what happened to my life."

Tomorrow, Fu Jian will lead a million troops to razure Shouyang, but many things seem to be thrown away by them at this moment. Xiang Shu interrupted and said, "After a drink, I will give you a drink. Thank you for taking care of Chen Xing in the past three months, and I will trouble you in the future."

Xie An seemed to feel something, but he didn't say it out loud, and Chen Xing didn't hear it for a while. Xiang Shu picked up the pot, poured the wine, and handed it to them in person.

Each raised his glasses toast. When he drank it, Xie Daojun seemed to have a little tears in his eyes.

"Daoyuan?" Chen Xing asked.

Xie Daoyun wiped it casually, laughed, shook her head, and said, "Qing'er must have been reincarnated now."

"The reincarnated person," Wang Xizhi suddenly felt something and said, "Can we find it?"

Chen Xing thought for a while and then replied: "I don't know."

The sky veins pass through the sky, and the earth veins flow for thousands of years. Outside Shouyang City is Fu Jian’s millions of troops, and in Shouyang City, there are bright lanterns, just like in the heart of China, illuminating the entire world in this dark night.

"However," Chen Xing thought for a while, and said, "Since God has made people reincarnated, people who can't remember the previous life in this life, no matter how persistent they are, they can't find the next life. I think there is a reason. As long as you know where, when, she is still there and still lives happily, isn't it better?"

Xie Daoyun nodded, and Xie An said, "My junior brother, let us know the difference."

Chen Xing looked at the lanterns in the yard and was stunned when he heard this, and replied, "What are you talking about?"

"The sky above my head," Xie An said with emotion, "I have been talking about the land on my feet for a long time, and I have no time to talk about the mysterious Taoism again."

Wang Xizhi said: "When I was a child, I always thought that Tao could be understood, but when I grew up, I gradually felt that Tao might not be understood. But now, I have a little hope again. Perhaps the so-called "Tao" will gradually understand it as I grow older, and I just can't explain it clearly."

"Is this what Confucius said about 'fifty-knowing destiny'?" Chen Xing smiled, and then thought for a while and said, "There are not much content about 'Tao' that I learned from the master, and most of them are learning 'art' and 'instruments'. The so-called 'Tao', I think it is the so-called 'original form' in this world, the living people in the world, and everything we can feel in it, their so-called 'original form'? This so-called 'original form' includes 'original form', but it is not just the destiny of heaven. Generally speaking, it is just where it comes from, what it is, what it is to do, and where it goes. These things... If everyone doesn't mind me being long-winded, it's okay to talk, but I don't know what it will be after tomorrow."

"Tell me." Xie An immediately said.

"I hope to hear the details." Wang Xizhi's way.

Huan Yiben wanted to get up to arrange military affairs, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but continue listening.

Chen Xingche's clear eyes were reflected with bright lamps. He turned his head slightly, looked at Xiang Shu, smiled, and began to tell everyone what he had read from the master.

"The legend says Pangu has created the world," Chen Xing said slowly, "All things are transformed into the sun and the moon, and there is the first 'one' between heaven and earth, which turns into the dragon god, the eyes are day, and the eyes are closed to the night, which pushes the heaven and earth veins to begin to rotate, so there is time..."

On that night, Chen Xing began to slowly tell, from the opening of the sky of Pangu to the collapse of Mount Buzhou, then to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and a great war that ended the world of mountains and seas thousands of years ago. The gods retired, and then to the battle in Muye, when China returned to the mortals, it was like pulling everyone out of this world, standing in the flow of time, watching the rise and fall and ups of the land of China.

A moment later, he began to talk about the strange connection between the heavenly veins and the earthly veins, the gathering and dispersion of the souls in the world, the strange power of the stars, the inner alchemy of the demon clan and the secret techniques of the human race, and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth that had long disappeared.

Finally, the yard was silent, Chen Xing said frankly: "What is the 'original form' in the world? I think everyone may have different opinions? Even though I have heard so much, no one can give an answer. I think that the 'original form' is 'no form', flowers are flowers, trees are trees, these are certain, and the original form is its innate essence is that there is no conclusion, and there will be no conclusion. In our hearts, it is the little thing we stick to. It is one with the entire Chinese land, and even the heaven and earth veins, but in our spiritual wisdom, so it is where the 'Tao' is."

"Is it just that heart lamp?" Xie Daoyun said.

Chen Xing smiled and said, "The heart lamp is its 'shape', and I think everyone has their own heart lamp, not just me, otherwise why would everyone sit here today?"

Chen Xing's meaning is very clear. The Han people and Sima Yao, who were far away in Jiankang, still had dignity for the country and even if they knew that they would die, they would fight with all their might. Just like when Fu Jian came to the south, a lamp in the dark night was shining through the long night and shining everywhere.

Chen Xing also always felt that not only Zhu Xu, Xie An, Xie Xuan, Wang Xizhi, Xiang Shu, Feng Qianjun, Xiao Shan and others had something to insist on in their hearts.

Just like the three souls and seven spirits, they always face the bright light. Once the light shines in an instant, the heart lamp will ignite and guide them throughout their lives.

"I'll play the piano for everyone?" Chen Xing suddenly thought of him, and after playing it, the melodious and melodious sound of the piano sounded. It was the song "Floating Life Record". Everyone sat quietly and listened, but Xiang Shu got up and entered the room. After a moment, he came out, held the Qiang flute and stood tall behind Chen Xing.

The music of the Qiang flute and the guqin come together, and the quaint sound of the Qin flute is circling with the vicissitudes of Qiang flute. The song "Fusheng Record" is different from what they once played, just like in a surging river, experiencing the wind and rain of the world, and changing the world.

The song stopped, and everyone let out a sigh of emotion.

"Okay," said Huan Yi, "It's time for the old men to leave, so let's leave some time for them to be alone."

The rest of the people stood up one after another, Xie An said, "In another two hours, we will come to the back door to gather."

Xiang Shu nodded, and the people scattered. The rest of Chen Xing and Xiang Shu sat side by side on the couch in the yard, facing the lanterns all over the yard. From Xiang Shu back to now, they have not spoken well.

"Hey," Chen Xing smiled, "Why are you in a daze all the time? What are you thinking, the protector?"

"Can you not talk about exorcism tonight?" Xiang Shu said, "I promise you that I will definitely save them."

Chen Xing said: "Have you found the place where Wang Ziye hides?"

Xiang Shu turned his head and looked at Chen Xing seriously. Chen Xing understood and said, "Okay, I won't ask."

"But my health is much better," Chen Xing said. "Tomorrow I think, if we leave Shouyang, we don't have to follow them to retreat south, it's better..."

Xiang Shu had a deep brow and said, "What did I say just now?"

Chen Xing hurriedly said, "Okay, I don't want Xiang Shu to quarrel as soon as he came back." Today, when he saw Xiang Shu, no matter what he did to him, Chen Xing would never be angry.

The two were quiet for a while.

"I miss you so much," Chen Xing suddenly said with a smile, "When I woke up, I found that you were not by my side. I was so panicked."

"In the past three months," Xiang Shuru said, "I went to several places and should have stayed to take care of you so that you won't sleep for so long, but I still have to go to measure the pros and cons."

Chen Xing: "For... forget it, nothing."

Chen Xing originally wanted to ask if he wanted to find Chi You's hiding place? But after asking this, he would inevitably talk about something else, so he had to hold back.

"I also went to Huashan," Xiang Shu said, "and went to the place where you and your master lived."

Chen Xing said in surprise: "Do you actually know there?"

"Xie Anshi told me the location." Xiang Shu replied, "I went to see where you grew up. Is your master sick and bedridden all year round?"

Chen Xing was amused and cried, saying, "Yes, it was messy when he left Mount Hua and had never been cleaned up. Are you trying to find some ancient books passed down by exorcists?"

Xiang Shu said to himself: "Growing up there and taking care of his master is very lonely."

Chen Xing originally wanted to laugh and joke, saying "It's okay", but if you think about it carefully, he always did this for his short life. What if he occasionally tells the truth?
