Chapter 47 Chapter 47: Farewell My Concubine

When Xiao Chuan woke up, there was no one at the entrance of the cave, and the fire had been extinguished, leaving behind devastated places.Although he didn't fully recover his strength, he could at least move his body, so he grabbed a branch, supported himself, climbed up, staggered to the ruins, and desperately searched for traces of Yushu like a madman. From the entrance of the cave, Xiao Chuan found the cave and found the secret passage all the way, when he suddenly saw the carbon black footprints on the ground, Xiao Chuan was ecstatic in his heart, this must be Yushu's!Hope filled him with strength, and he quickly followed the footprints all the way to the gate of Tiangong, and found the hairpin that Yu Shu left behind when he fell.

"She's still alive, she's still alive!" Xiao Chuan couldn't help laughing, he moved away the gravel blocking the way like crazy, but suddenly found that several huge rocks had blocked the gate tightly, no matter how hard Xiao Chuan tried Push, still motionless. Exhausted, Xiao Chuan leaned against the boulder to breathe, and suddenly he remembered the words left by Beiyanshan people on the drawings: "As long as the gate of the Heavenly Palace is closed, it cannot be opened by human power." Xiaochuan shook his head desperately: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it!" He firmly believes that as long as he persists, he will be able to break through the Tiangong.

Crashing, a lot of tools were thrown in front of the boulder, Xiao Chuan rolled up his sleeves, and began to dig the boulder... These boulders are extremely hard, the chisel quickly became blunt, and the hammer smashed into pieces. Xiao Chuan is still holding on, holding on... He ate before the boulder, lived in front of the boulder, fell sick before the boulder... Whenever he was frustrated, he would take out his mobile phone and look back on the happy time he had with Yushu, and he would have the courage to continue working... The nearby stone wall is densely covered with chiseling marks from his counting days...

Days passed, his hair and beard became very long, his clothes were ragged, and finally the first boulder was chipped by him, and Xiao Chuan, who was already like a wild man, danced and sang around the bonfire—if this scene happened in On the street, most likely he will be sent to a mental hospital. It took Xiao Chuan an hour to finally count the chisel marks on the stone wall, and it has been three years!In this way, in a few more three years, he can succeed! When Xiao Chuan happily cleaned up the gravel and was about to deal with the second boulder, there was a sudden rumbling sound!Another boulder rolled over, and Xiao Chuan hurried out of the way.Xiao Chuan was dumbfounded that the rolling boulder actually filled the gap between the chipped boulder.

The terrified Xiao Chuan took the blueprints of Tiangong to study, and found that the design of Tiangong is ingenious. As long as the boulder blocking the door is chiseled away, new boulders will fill the gap.By the time no boulders appeared, the Heavenly Palace had completely collapsed!That is to say, no matter how much effort he expended, it was impossible for him to dig through the Heavenly Palace to see Yu Shu.Only then did Xiao Chuan understand the meaning of "can no longer be opened by manpower"! From this day on, there was no sound of axes and chisels in the underground palace, and it was replaced by a deathly silence.

Xiao Chuan has been sitting by the bonfire, he never imagined that the heavenly palace he built actually traps the person he loves the most. Three years of devotion brought him extreme disappointment. Xiao Chuan collapsed. He cried out in pain and slapped the boulder with his hands until his hands bled, and he continued to pat, leaving blood on the boulder. handprint... In extreme pain, Xiao Chuan stopped suddenly - he remembered the murderer who caused all this: Lu Zhi! Xiao Chuan suddenly stood up, his eyes had turned into crazy blood red—— On the road outside Xianyang City, a "savage" appeared!His hair is disheveled, only a hairband is tied on his forehead, his long beard is braided into a thick braid and hangs down on his chest, he is covered in coarse linen, with a sword on his shoulder, with fierce eyes, and he walks in the middle of the road with his head held high .This person is Xiao Chuan!

Hatred can change a person's heart, and can also change a person's temperament. He who was once refined is now murderous.All the people on the road bypassed him far away. But there was a blind man - a messenger wearing a red Han army uniform came on horseback, and was about to collide with him.The messenger was furious and whipped him away, but he grabbed the whip and pulled him off the horse, and fell on his back. The messenger got up and scolded Xiao Chuan: "It is a capital offense to obstruct the military affairs of the King of Han!" Before the messenger finished speaking, the sword was already on his neck.Xiao Chuan asked sharply: "Xianyang is Xiang Yu's territory, Liu Bang should stay in Hanzhong, why did you, a messenger of the Han army, appear here?"

The messenger looked at Xiao Chuan quite strangely: "Han Wang Mingxiu crossed Chen Cang secretly on the plank road, and has captured Xianyang for more than two years. Now most of the world is already under the Han family!" Xiao Chuan was startled, and thought about it: In the three years he has been digging stones, the pattern of the world has changed a lot!Since the messenger said that there was news about the King of Han, Xiao Chuan forced him to ask, "Where are Liu Bang and Lu Zhi now?" Under the sharp knife, the messenger was frightened and told the truth: "The King of Han is fighting with Xiang Yu in Guangwu Mountain, and his wife and family are under house arrest by Xiang Yu in Pengcheng."

"Pengcheng!" Xiao Chuan couldn't help but nodded, "Lu Zhi, you have today!" He snatched the messenger's horse, turned around, and headed east.The messenger, who was still in shock, collapsed to the ground. Soldiers of the Chu army guarded a courtyard gate majestically. Suddenly a sandbag flew out of the yard and landed outside the door.Then the gate was opened a crack, a little boy jumped out, and was about to pick up sandbags, but was lifted into the air by the officer guarding the gate, and then threw him back into the gate, ordering him not to leave the house.

The officer picked up the sandbag again, tore it up, poured out the contents and examined it carefully. Behind the gate, Lu Zhi and the little boy were observing everything through the crack of the gate. Lu Zhi shook his head and sighed: "Chu soldiers have such strict guards, don't talk about escaping, communicating with the outside world is as difficult as reaching the sky!" The little boy volunteered and said: "Mother, try another method another day!" Lu Zhi smiled and stroked the boy's head: "Ying'er is very courageous, remember to wait for the opportunity in everything, and use your brain more, don't force it!"

The little boy listened carefully and nodded frequently.This little boy is Liu Ying, the son of Lu Zhi and Liu Bang, who will be the future Emperor Hui of Han.A few years have passed, and he has grown up a lot compared to when Pei County raised the army, and he has also grown a lot more courageous.Although he was not reconciled to marrying Liu Bang, Lu Zhi loved Liu Ying very much, because he was quite assertive and courageous at a young age, and he was quite like her.But she can't let Liu Ying take any more risks. Now Liu Ying is more important than Lu Zhi and all other family members combined, because he is Liu Bang's eldest son and the heir to the throne. Thinking of this, Lu Zhi asked: "Ying'er, you must remember that your father is the King of Han. Although we are imprisoned here, we will have a bright future. You must protect yourself and return to your father. , help him accomplish his great cause!" Liu Ying nodded: "My child remembers!" He drew out the mahogany sword at his waist and made a gesture, "Mother, don't worry, my child will definitely protect her." Lu Zhi lowered his face, shook his head and said, "No, you just need to protect yourself! Mother can die, but you must live!" Liu Ying was astonished: "Mother? Ying'er..." Lu Zhi interrupted sharply: "Mother wants you to make an oath that no matter what happens in the future, you will live on!" Liu Ying looked at Lu Zhi hesitantly, while Lu Zhi looked at him firmly, Liu Ying finally raised the wooden sword in her hand... "By heaven, Liu Ying swears that no matter what happens, she will live on!" Lu Zhi finally showed a smile, pulled Liu Ying into a hug, comforted him, and let him go to practice sword. Seeing Liu Ying wielding the wooden sword, Lu Zhi suddenly felt a little nervous. She took off a rose and took off the petals one by one for divination: something happened, nothing happened, something happened... At the last petal, it was "something" "!"Lu Zhi frowned, and secretly made up his mind to send Liu Ying away as soon as possible no matter what. Under the darkness of night, the courtyard was silent, Lu Zhi secretly took Liu Ying who was wearing common clothes to the wall, messed up his hair, and smeared some dirt on his face to pretend to be a disheveled little flower.She explained how Liu Ying could find her father, and then hung a white silk on the branch of the big tree next to the wall, tied one end around Liu Ying's waist, and grabbed the other end by herself, preparing to pull him up to the wall.Suddenly, a big man wearing a bamboo hat jumped off the wall and stopped in front of them. Both Lu Zhi and Liu Ying were startled, Lu Zhi immediately hid Liu Ying behind him, and said in a low voice, "Who are you?" The other party slowly took off the bamboo hat and raised his head. Lu Zhi trembled in fright, "Xiao Chuan!" Although Xiao Chuan's description has changed drastically and his beard and hair have grown, who in the world is more familiar with him than Lu Zhi? Lu Zhi was shocked for a while: "You, how did you become like this?" Xiao Chuan showed a cruel smile: "It's all thanks to you! For three years, I lived in a cave and worked day and night, but what I got was despair! I came from thousands of miles just to take your life, for the sake of your life." Yu Shu takes revenge!" Before he finished speaking, the sword was drawn out of its sheath and stabbed at Lu Zhi's throat.Lu Zhi closed his eyes, sighing in his heart, the retribution has finally come. Seeing that the sword was about to stab Lu's pheasant, it stopped—Liu Ying stepped forward and came to her mother, blocking the sharp edge with her body and the small mahogany sword: "Don't hurt my mother!" Xiao Chuan's eyes flashed fiercely, and he chopped the mahogany sword into two pieces with his hand. Liu Ying was startled and took a step back, but she still held the broken sword and stood in front of Lu Zhi.Xiao Chuan violently grabbed Liu Ying and pushed him to the ground. Liu Ying fell to the ground, bleeding from the corner of her mouth.Lu Zhi hurriedly helped Liu Ying up, and looked up at Xiao Chuan angrily: "Xiao Chuan! Although I, Lu Zhi, is in trouble now, I am also a princess of the dynasty! If you want to settle accounts, you can come to me. Why do you abuse children like this? , what kind of hero is he?" Xiao Chuan, with bloodshot eyes, laughed wildly: "Hahaha, I'm not a hero, I'm an evil spirit who came to seek revenge! I only planned to kill a woman! If he interferes again, I will kill all women and children!" Lu Zhi was surprised and said: "You, are you really Xiao Chuan? I can't believe how Xiao Chuan, who used to be kind and righteous, turned into such a brutal and brutal person." Xiao Chuan sneered: "I'm like this now, it's all thanks to you! Today, I'm going to kill you, no matter what method I use or what I do!" Lu Zhi sadly said: "The two of us finally have something in common—we will do whatever it takes to achieve our ends." Xiao Chuan was startled, shook his head and said, "I am definitely not the same kind of person as you!" But Lu Zhi smiled slightly: "We each understand whether you and I are the same. Today I want to make an exchange with you!" Xiao Chuan sneered: "Now, what else do you have to exchange with me?" Lu Zhi said: "I know what you want. Killing me with a sword will not satisfy you." Xiao Chuan's eyes changed, Lu Zhi saw that what he said was right in his heart, "Yu Shu was forced by me If you want to commit suicide, as long as you are willing to send Yinger to his father, I will kill myself in front of you, and it will be considered as repayment for what I did to Yushu, and the hatred between you and me will be settled!" Liu Ying was shocked: "Mother, no..." Lu Zhi covered Liu Ying's mouth and looked at Xiao Chuan with a smile: "What do you think?" Liu Ying was gagged and could only stare and shake her head vigorously, while Xiao Chuan looked at Lu Zhi suspiciously: "How can I believe that an unscrupulous person will make such a sacrifice, you must have a purpose after doing this!" Lu Zhi smiled miserably: "In your eyes, I have always been so unbearable. Sigh... Yes, my purpose is to let my Yinger escape from life! For this purpose, of course I have to do whatever it takes, even if I sacrifice myself Your life!... You may not believe that Lu Zhi would make such a sacrifice, but you should believe that a mother would make such a sacrifice!" Xiao Chuan stared at Lu Zhi, slowly turned the sword in his hand, thinking: "Okay, I promise you! But, you have to do it immediately!" Lu Zhi smiled and nodded, let go of Liu Ying, stood up, and walked to the white silk hanging on the branch. Liu Ying grabbed her and cried, refusing to let go: "Mother, I won't let you go! I would rather not go." Already!" Xiao Chuan's eyes changed slightly, showing a trace of sympathy, and the sword in his hand hung down. However, Lu Zhi showed an angry face, and snapped: "Ying'er! You are the eldest son of the father, and you will be the master of the world in the future! How can you be a king if you are so benevolent and weak!" Liu Ying cried and said: "A child does not want to be a king, but a child only needs a mother! ... I will call the guards and drive him away!" Liu Ying left Lu Zhi behind and ran towards the door.Xiaochuan's eyes turned cold and he raised his sword again, his murderous intent reappeared.Lu Zhi hurriedly caught up with Liu Ying, covered Liu Ying's mouth and nose, and did not let go despite Liu Ying's painful struggle.Lu Zhi burst into tears and said to Liu Ying: "Ying'er, don't forget your oath: No matter what happens, you must live!" hand.Lu Zhi cried, hugged Liu Ying even more tightly, and said tremblingly: "My son, remember that no matter what mother has done to others, she has always been sincere to you." Because of suffocation, Liu Ying gradually stopped struggling and passed out.Lu Zhi put Liu Ying down carefully, stood up, wiped away tears, and regained the attitude of a princess, then turned and proudly faced Xiao Chuan: "I hope you will keep your promise." Ogawa nodded.Lu Zhi turned around and walked under the tree, stepped on a flower pot, and tied the white silk into a circle.Lu Zhi grabbed the white silk, looked at the sky, and suddenly laughed miserably: "Susu, our sisters all fell in love with him, but we all died because of him. My sister is here, you won't be alone anymore!" Xiaochuan felt disgusted in his heart: "How can your heart be compared with Susu's! Don't use Susu as an excuse, you will definitely die today! Lu Zhi sighed: "How many things I have done for you, you don't take it to heart. If you were not too ruthless to me, how could I do such a thing to Yu Shu." Lu Zhi took off the outer silk She was still wearing the golden silk feather shirt inside, and she fondled it lovingly, "I still wear it often, because I have never forgotten you in my heart. The first time I saw you, I wore it to toast you; You bid farewell, I still wear it. Although I am a princess, I am just an infatuated woman in the end!" Lu Zhi let out a long sigh, told Xiao Chuan to take good care of Liu Ying, took off a rose and put it in a bun, then put a white silk around her neck, and kicked down the flower pot... The rose in the flowerpot fell to the ground, its petals were falling, and it was blown up by the wind, and the golden silk feather shirt fluttering in the wind seemed to be splashed with blood... Xiao Chuan looked at Lu's pheasant swaying like dead leaves in the wind, looked at the golden silk feather clothes, and recalled all the past: ——Lv Gong's family, who was rescued by Xiao Chuan, toasted Xiao Chuan on the side of the road. Lu Zhi wore a gold silk feather shirt and sang and danced... ——In order to make a "generator", Lu Zhi pulled out the gold thread from his clothes in tears—Lu Zhi handed the gold thread to Xiao Chuan, and Xiao Chuan hugged Lu Zhi and kissed her forehead... ——When Pei County raised troops, Lu Zhi, who was already the mother of the child, was wearing the gold silk feather shirt and saw Xiao Chuan again... Recalling these, the murderous look in Xiao Chuan's eyes faded, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but loosen. In the white silk, Lu Zhi tried to open his eyes to look at Xiao Chuan, but his consciousness gradually became blurred, and his eyes slowly became scattered. It was the first time for Xiaochuan to watch a person die slowly in front of his eyes. Although he hated this person so much, his heart was still full of struggle and tearing at this moment.Xiao Chuan kept telling himself: She is a heinous bad woman, bad woman! Lu's pheasant's eyes gradually closed, and Xiao Chuan was also terrified and tormented to the extreme. Suddenly, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps and loud shouts outside the courtyard, and the torches illuminated the courtyard wall, Xiao Chuan couldn't help being stunned. Liu Ying, who was lying on the ground, was awakened. She opened her eyes and saw her mother hanging from the tree. She jumped up anxiously, grabbed the sword in Xiao Chuan's hand, jumped up vigorously, and cut off the white silk with the sword.Lu's pheasant fell down and collapsed on the ground limply, but slowly regained consciousness.Liu Ying hurriedly helped her sit up, crying, "Mother, mother!" Under his shaking, Lu Zhi gradually regained consciousness. Xiao Chuan stood aside, watching all this, but his hands and feet seemed to be frozen, unable to move. Bang, the courtyard door was knocked open, and Chu Bing rushed in holding a torch. Lu Zhi said to Liu Ying in a low voice and sternly: "Don't call me mother again, and remember that whatever happens, don't open your mouth!" Then he pushed Liu Ying away with all his strength.Holding the sword, Liu Ying stared blankly at Lu Zhi, at a loss. Seeing the three people in the yard, Chu Bing immediately surrounded them, and the torch immediately lit up the yard. The officer shouted, "What are you guys doing?" As if seeing a savior, Lu Zhi cried out: "Help, my lord! This old man broke into the yard with a young man and said he wanted to kill me for no reason! Thanks to your lord who arrived with his troops, I was spared. Help!" The officer grabbed the torch and took a photo. Sure enough, both Xiaochuan and Liu Ying were unkempt, and Liu Ying was still holding a sharp knife, and she was furious: "Bold! Who dares to hurt King Xiang's important criminal!...Wait!" What, came closer and looked at Xiao Chuan carefully, and exclaimed: "So it's the general! The last general is rude!" The officer immediately knelt down on one knee. Xiao Chuan took a closer look, and exclaimed: "Master Tian! Why are you here?" Mr. Tian was overjoyed: "It's the last general! Three years ago, after the general disappeared, I joined King Xiang's command. Your husband is long! General, where have you been all these years, and why are you dressed like this? Xiao Chuan sighed: "This is all caused by Lu Zhi, today I came to take her life." Xiao Chuan looked at Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi looked at Liu Ying, and then at Xiao Chuan, with pleading eyes. Xiao Chuan hesitated in his heart, and then looked at Liu Ying. The child was holding a sword, trembling, and tears opened a ditch on his muddy face. Xiao Chuan scolded Liu Ying: "Rebel, why don't you kill this enemy!" Knowing that Xiao Chuan was protecting Liu Ying, Lu Zhi nodded gratefully, and then shouted loudly at Liu Ying: "Little thief, come if you want to kill or cut." After all, Liu Ying was a child, so she trembled with fright, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground. Seeing Lu Zhi crying, she was about to throw herself into Lu Zhi's arms.Such a flutter reveals his stuffing!Lu Zhi was so quick-witted that he punched Liu Ying unconscious, and shouted at Xiao Chuan: "Your apprentice is so useless, you should do it yourself. The grievances between the two of us will be settled by ourselves." Xiao Chuan slowly walked over to pick up the sword, Lu Zhi also closed his eyes, and died with his neck stretched, but Xiao Chuan's sword could no longer be lifted.Just when he didn't know what to do, Chief Tian stepped forward to salute: "General, wait a moment! This time, I was ordered by King Xiang to come to pick up Liu Bang's family members and escort them to Guangwu overnight. This matter is related to the success or failure of the battle. , so Lu’s pheasant can’t die yet! The general will have a military order in his body, and I hope the general will fulfill it!” Xiao Chuan sighed: "For Brother Xiang's sake, let her go today." Tian Chang: "Thank you, General! General, since you disappeared, King Xiang has been thinking about you day and night, and has been sending people to find the whereabouts of the general. Why don't you go to Guangwu with me, so that King Xiang can rest assured!" Xiao Chuan nodded: "I miss him a lot too, so I'll go with you." Xiao Chuan put his sword back into its sheath, walked to Lu Zhi's side, picked Liu Ying up, turned and left.Lu Zhi looked at their backs, relaxed, and was exhausted immediately, slumped on the ground, and two Chu soldiers immediately stepped forward to carry her away. Tian Chang waved his hand, and the soldiers of Chu immediately moved into action. For a while, the yard was crowded with torches and people... In the dark, the horse convoy headed straight for Guangwu under the escort of Chu soldiers. In the carriage, Xiao Chuan sat cross-legged, lost in thought and memory.Liu Ying woke up in a daze: "Mother, mother!" Xiao Chuan asked him, "Does your head still hurt?" "Don't be afraid, I have promised to save you, and I won't hurt you." Xiao Chuan threw the sword into Liu Ying's arms, "To be my disciple, you must act like a disciple. From now on, you will hold the sword and follow me , anyone who asks will say that he is my sword-wielding disciple." Holding the sword in her arms, Liu Ying remembered her mother's words that she must live on, so she bowed down and bowed down: "Liu Ying pays homage to the master...the disciple has something to ask..." "Do you want me to let your mother go?" "Ah... Master guessed it, please master it!" Xiao Chuan looked at Liu Ying, neither agreeing nor disapproving, thinking in his heart: his courage and filial piety are so commendable at such a young age, I hope he will not be as ruthless as his mother when he grows up. "Go to sleep, there are still many things to do tomorrow." Hearing such a reply, Liu Ying was a little confused, but Xiao Chuan had turned over and fell asleep, and Liu Ying could not continue to ask. In the hall of East Guangwu, Xiang Yu was worried about the war: the food road of the Chu army was harassed by Peng Yue, and the food and grass were already in short supply, so a quick battle was needed.It just so happened that at this time, Tian Chang came with his entourage to report: "Sign up to the king, the general has already detained Liu Bang's family." General Zhong Limei immediately remonstrated: "Your Majesty, we can act according to plan! But Xiang Yu was not happy: "It's too villainous to act like this, and it's not what a man would do." Zhong Limei shook his head: "Taking the enemy's relatives as hostages has been done since ancient times, and it is not an act of a villain. Now, the Chu and Han armies have been guarding Guangwu in the East and West, and they have been stalemate for several months. The soldiers have long been disgusted by the years of fighting, and the hearts of the people have returned. .Using his family members to force Liu Bang to strike, this is a major event for the stability of the world, and it is done by a man, so why care about small details! Xiang Yu was still hesitant, pacing and thinking in the lobby, when he came to Tian Chang's side, he suddenly pulled out Tian Chang's saber and stabbed at the entourage beside him.The follower reacted extremely quickly and rolled away on the spot. When Zhongli Mo and Tian Chang were stunned, Xiang Yu had already cornered the attendant several times in a row, and said with a sneer, "As soon as you enter the door, you will be sneaky and have evil intentions, but it seems that you are very skilled, if you are willing to submit to me, I'll let it go." The "follower" also laughed, and took off his helmet, it was Xiao Chuan.Xiang Yu was greatly surprised, and pulled him to question: "My dear brother, where have you been all these years? Yu Ji and I have searched hard and found no trace of you! Let's go, we brothers have a good drink!" Zhong Limo wanted to leave Xiang Yu to deal with important military matters, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, the matter just now has not been decided..." Xiang Yu was very impatient: "We haven't seen each other for three years, and now I want to drink to my heart's content. Is there a more urgent military matter than this?" After finishing speaking, he dragged Xiao Chuan away. Looking at the piled documents, Zhong Limei could only sigh and shake his head. After three years, Xiaochuan, Xiang Yu and Xiaoyue finally sat at the same table and had a drink.We haven't seen each other for three years, and everyone always has something to say.But as soon as Xiaoyue asked about Xiaochuan's life in the past three years, Xiaochuan didn't want to mention it, and immediately changed the topic and asked Xiaoyue how her life was. Xiaoyue said bluntly: "Being with King Xiang is really heaven on earth." After hearing this, Xiao Chuan held up the wine bowl to Xiang Yu, and sighed slightly drunk: "Brother, you, you are much better than me! You can make the person you love happy, but I...I can't do anything! Since I came to Daqin, I know The girl who dies, dies, looses, hates, and others; Xiaoyue is the only one who can sit at a table and drink, and she has become your concubine! Hahahaha..." Xiao Chuan laughed , while shed tears. Xiang Yu patted him on the shoulder: "My dear brother, the only one I care about is Concubine Yu! Hahaha... I have won the world, but so what? The princes who are strong in Chu will vote for Chu, and if Han is victorious, he will surrender to Han. They surrendered to me today, but they betrayed me tomorrow! Alas, it’s so tiring to guard against people’s hearts day and night!" He turned around and took Xiaoyue’s hand, "Only Yuji treats me sincerely and will never leave me! I can be happy and relaxed with her! Come, let's have another drink! The two brothers picked up the wine glasses together, but they both looked at the wine when they held it up to their faces, feeling depressed and unable to drink it down. Seeing that Xiaochuan and Xiang Yu were depressed, Xiaoyue got up to dance swords for them.Xiaoyue has a graceful posture, combining rigidity and softness.Xiao Chuan couldn't help but beat the wine bowl to beat her time, and Xiang Yu sang with the strength of the wine: "Strengthening the mountain and overwhelming the world. The time is not good, the time is not dying. The time is not dying, but there is nothing! Yuxiyuxi Nai Ruo He!" Looking at this scene, Xiao Chuan couldn't help but forget to continue to beat the beat, feeling infinitely sad... In the hall of Xiguangwu, Liu Bang was drinking with the ministers, and the singers also sang and danced for fun. Now that the Han army has taken the initiative in the Chu-Han war, the monarchs and ministers are very unhappy. Gao Yao came to Liu Bang silently, whispered a few words, Liu Bang smiled and nodded, laughing and asked Gao Yao to fill himself with wine!Gao Yao was slightly surprised, but then poured another large glass of wine for Liu Bang.Liu Bang toasted while drunk: "Xiang Yu is conceited that he is brave, but in fact he is only brave! Now, he is at the end of his battle. I got the news that soon the food and grass of the Chu army will be exhausted, and that is when he will fall!" ...Hehehe, God bless the man!" All the ministers got up and toasted Liu Bang to congratulate him. Liu Bang drank it down with a big laugh, but after drinking the glass of wine, Liu Bang was so overwhelmed that he leaned on the table and fell asleep.The ministers and singers retreated quietly with interest. After everyone had retreated, Gao Yao stepped forward to put on clothes for Liu Bang.Liu Bang, who was still closing his eyes, suddenly said: "When did it happen?" Gao Yao was taken aback, realizing that Liu Bang was just pretending to be drunk, and immediately took a step back to salute: "The king, the news said that the king's family is Arrived in Dongguangwu today." Liu Bang opened his eyes, sat up straight, and worried: "If you become a king, you will call yourself a loner. Xiang Yu is a violent person. If an accident happens to the whole family in his hands, I will really be a loner!" Gao Yao analyzed: "Xiang Yu has put the King's family members under house arrest for two years, but now he suddenly puts them in the army. I'm afraid he has other motives! I think it's probably to blackmail the King." Liu Bang sighed: "I have always advocated filial piety, benevolence and righteousness to govern the country, so I have the hearts of the people, and the world belongs to me. If Xiang Yu threatens with the life of his parents, how can I face filial piety?...But, for the great cause of unifying the world, I have to Never surrender!...This is really a dilemma." Liu Bang frowned. In the bedroom, Liu Ying was sitting at the table with a sword in her arms, staring at the candles in a daze.Suddenly the door was knocked open, and Liu Ying jumped up in fright. Looking again, it turned out that it was Xiaoyue who walked in with Xiaochuan who was drunk. Xiaoyue put Xiaochuan on the bed and asked Liu Ying to take good care of him before leaving. Liu Ying stood in front of the bed with her sword in her arms, at a loss for what to do.Xiaochuan in his sleep suddenly shouted: "Lu Zhi! You forced Yushu away..." Xiaochuan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Liu Ying's arm.Liu Ying was so frightened that she trembled all over. When the sword fell to the ground, he pulled out his arm vigorously, shrank into the corner and looked at Xiao Chuan in fear.Xiaochuan yelled: "Lu Zhi, don't run away! I want to settle accounts with you, settle accounts!..." After a lot of fuss, Xiao Chuan finally relaxed and fell asleep.Liu Ying waited for a long time before she dared to go back to the bed and tremblingly picked up the sword.Xiao Chuan suddenly muttered to himself again: "Lu Zhi... settle accounts, settle accounts..." There was panic in Liu Ying's eyes, thinking: Master only thinks of revenge, he, he will definitely hurt mother!what should I do?what to do?In Liu Ying's mind, the image of his mother being hung in the white silk and dying appeared again. He trembled all over, and in an instant, he made a decision! Liu Ying carefully tested Xiao Chuan and confirmed that he was asleep. Then he held up the sword, held the handle, hesitated for a while, finally took a deep breath, and slowly pulled out the sword.Looking at the gleaming blade, Liu Ying's hands began to tremble violently. He used both hands to stabilize the sword, raised the sword tremblingly, and pointed it at Xiao Chuan! Liu Ying's chest rose and fell, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and stabbed Xiao Chuan forcefully... Seeing that the point of the sword was about to be stabbed, it happened that Xiao Chuan turned over in his dream. The sword only scratched his arm, and Xiao Chuan suddenly woke up in severe pain.Liu Ying closed her eyes in fright, and stabbed Xiao Chuan again.This time, the sword stopped, and Liu Ying opened her eyes, only to see Xiao Chuan pinching the tip of the sword with only two fingers. Xiaochuan sobered up, he was puzzled and said, "I saved you, why did you kill me?" Liu Ying plucked up her courage: "Because, because you want to kill your mother!...Why did you want to kill your mother?" "Because your mother hurt the person I love the most, and I'm avenging her! Children won't understand this kind of emotion." "No, Liu Ying understands! In this world, my mother treats me the best, and she is the person I love the most; if you hurt my mother, Liu Ying will definitely not let you go!" Xiao Chuan was suddenly startled: This is the so-called "when is it time to repay the injustice"... Xiao Chuan, you forced his mother to death in front of this child, isn't this exactly the same as what Lu Zhi did to you and Yu Shu? ... But, should I just let Lu Zhi go?Don't avenge this revenge? Xiao Chuan struggled in pain, his eyes suddenly stopped on Liu Ying, he remembered Lu Zhi's words: Liu Ying is Liu Bang's eldest son, the future master of the world!Xiao Chuan looked the child up and down. Xiao Chuan said coldly: "Come here!" Liu Ying walked over involuntarily.Xiao Chuan looked directly at Liu Ying, and raised his bloody sword: "You stabbed me just now, how should we settle the debt?" Liu Ying looked at the sword, looked at Xiao Chuan, thought for a while, gritted her teeth, Stretched out his left hand: "I stabbed your arm, I will give you another arm!" Xiao Chuan's eyes lit up: "Aren't you afraid?" "I'm very scared. But I promised my mother that I will live no matter what. It's worth it to exchange one arm for one life." Xiao Chuan looked at Liu Ying and raised his hand. Sword, Liu Ying closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and her teeth chattered. The sword swung... A piece of sleeve fell down... After a while, Liu Ying opened her eyes, only to find that her arm was intact, but a piece of sleeve was missing! Liu Ying raised her head and looked at Xiao Chuan in astonishment. Xiao Chuan held up the sleeve with a sword and handed it to Liu Ying: "Hold it!" Liu Ying subconsciously reached out and took the sleeve.Xiao Chuan stretched out his injured arm: "Use it to wrap my wound." Liu Ying obediently bandaged Xiao Chuan's wound. After bandaging, Xiaochuan withdrew his arm, picked up the scabbard, and put the sword back into the scabbard.Liu Ying said suspiciously: "You, you don't want my arm?" Xiao Chuan smiled: "Cut off your arm, can it heal my wound?" Liu Ying shook her head. "But without an arm, you will be in pain, and it will be in pain for the rest of your life. Right?" Liu Ying nodded. Xiao Chuanyu said earnestly: "Life is very important. If it is lost, a person will cease to exist; an arm is also very important. If it is lost, a person will no longer be complete. It is the same for you and the people of the world." He held up Liu Ying's Arm, "You have to remember that the lives and arms of the common people are as precious as Liu Ying's. Cut off their arms, and they will suffer forever, do you understand?" Liu Ying looked at her arm, nodded and said, "Liu Ying understands." Xiao Chuan let out a long breath: "You are the eldest son of Liu Bang, and you will become the monarch of the world in the future. You must know how to implement benevolent government and be considerate for the people. Only by following the people's will will you not repeat the mistakes of Tyranny Qin. The way of the king." Liu Ying listened, thought for a while, and bowed to thank her: "Liu Ying, thank you for your lessons. From now on, you will be Liu Ying's master, and my disciples will respect your teachings." Xiao Chuan smiled: "Children can be taught." Xiao Chuan threw the sword back into Liu Ying's hand, "The sword is in your hands, whether you use it or not is up to you!" Liu Ying looked at the sword in her hand, nodded solemnly, and hugged the sword to her chest "Thank you, master, for your guidance." He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Chuan: "Master, since you taught me to treat people with kindness...then the grievances between you and your mother..." Xiao Chuan's heart was agitated, and he was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth: "...as long as you promise me to treat the people of the world kindly in the future, I will promise you - let your mother go." Liu Ying was overjoyed, and bowed down to worship: "Liu Ying thanked the master! The disciple must be benevolent and love the people as the master said!" "One word from a gentleman, four horses are hard to follow!" Xiao Chuan and Liu Ying signed a contract by high-fiving. Late at night, Liu Ying finally fell asleep sweetly.Under the lamp, Xiaochuan took out Yushu's hairpin from his bosom, stared at it, stroked it gently, and said silently in his heart: Yushu, I have decided not to kill Lu Zhi.Because I want to exchange her life for the well-being of the people in the world. ... I hope you can understand my good intentions, and I also hope that this child will keep his oath and treat people well in the future. In Xiguangwu, Liu Bang was having a headache for his family. Suddenly someone reported that the envoy of the Chu army asked to see him.Knowing that the lobbyists had arrived, Liu Bang suppressed his sorrow and pretended to be calm: "Let them come up!" But when he saw the person coming, he couldn't sit still anymore, it was Xiao Chuan!What surprised him even more was that Xiao Chuan also brought him a huge gift - Liu Ying! Liu Bang held Liu Ying in his arms and burst into tears. Although he holds most of the world, at this moment he only has this one dearest relative.Liu Bang wanted to thank Xiao Chuan, but Xiao Chuan refused. He only had one condition: "In the future, Liu Ying will be crowned prince!" Liu Bang thought to himself, Liu Ying is my eldest son, and of course he will be the prince in the future!So I readily agreed. When Xiao Chuan left, he asked again: "Remember the agreement between master and you, if you become that foolish king, master will be the first to settle accounts with you!" Looking at Xiaochuan's back, Liu Ying was reluctant to let go, but Liu Bang came up with a whim and came up with a clever plan!He immediately recruited Gao Yao and announced that he would make Liu Ying the crown prince immediately! Gao Yao was puzzled: "Your Majesty, the war is tense now, at this time the crown prince may be criticized by others!" Liu Bang smiled: "How do you know the mystery of it, just do it quickly!" In fact, this is Liu Bang's strategy in exchange for his family members!一旦将刘盈立为太子，就是向天下表明大汉已经有了继承人，项羽手中的其他家眷便失去了重要性，就算被项羽扣押一辈子，也不会影响王位传承。由此项羽要挟的筹码就会大打折扣，其实也是保护了被扣押的家小。 这一招果然奏效，项羽知道已经无法逼迫刘邦投降，又不能速战速决，无奈之中同意了刘邦议和的建议。 汉军和楚军之间的一座高台上，项羽和刘邦立下盟约：“以鸿沟为界，鸿沟西归汉，鸿沟以东为楚，两下永息干戈。” 征战多年的士兵们兴奋不已，一起高呼着万岁！ 项羽此刻归心似箭，准备放刘邦家小回去。钟离昧当即反对：“大王，万万不可呀！此次刘邦之所以愿意立约中分天下，就是忌惮他的老父和家眷在大王手中，大王不可……” 项羽大怒：“住口！难道我项羽和几十万楚国雄兵还不如这些老弱妇孺让刘邦忌惮吗？他如敢背约，我只要一出兵还不是轻易让他俯首称臣！” 项羽立即请小川护送刘邦家小到汉营，自己则带大军离开广武，回彭城修养去了。兄弟两人惜别之时，相约有缘再见。 小川把刘邦家小送回汉营，正准备离开，却发现一队士兵正在铁匠铺中督造兵器。一打听，他才知道这是汉王的命令，要多多准备刀枪箭矢。 小川大惊之下，飞马来见刘邦，质问道：“刘邦！你为何不按约天下息兵，反而秣马厉兵？” 刘邦似乎早就知道小川会来质问，不慌不忙地说：“我现在所做的，正是为了天下息兵呀！” 小川大怒：“你当我是傻子？几十万汉兵蠢蠢欲动，这是息兵？这分明是重燃战火！” 刘邦指着地图上被鸿沟一分为二的天下：“贤弟，你可曾试想过，天下若当真一分为二，会是什么样子？……我想过，楚汉必然都会日夜提防对方，不要说罢兵了，恐怕只会年年增兵。如此穷兵黩武，百姓能休养生息吗？” 小川听着无言以对：不错，这就是军备竞赛的由来。 刘邦继续道：“俗话曰'天无二日'，就算我和项羽此刻暂休兵火，时间一长，恐怕谁都不会甘心。到那时候必然重开战火！……以为兄的拙见，此刻必须一鼓作气，统一天下，才能真正让天下息兵，让百姓得到安宁。贤弟以为呢？” 小川思索道：刘邦说的未尝不是事实，我所以不愿接受，是因为不想看到自己关心的人——项羽和虞姬的结局。可是这么多年来，我一再地想改变历史，却反而是推波助澜；反倒是历史彻底改变了我，把我变成了它的一部分……既然挡不住历史的脚步，我又何必百般阻挠？生也好，死也好，人生匆匆不过百年；成也好，败也好，转头一切又成空，我又何必执著于一个结果？ 他决定彻底地置身事外。 小川又回到了北岩山洞，石壁上刻着的两句话依然清晰：“别君且坐思过处，缘来自有破壁时。 小川点头：“别君”指的应该是自己了，“思过处”就是这里，而这个“过”字既是过失的过，也是过去的过。他的确应该好好思考一下自己的过往了。 小川就在刻字下盘腿而坐陷入了深思。 也不知道过了多少天，小川忽然睁开了眼睛。 天宫门前，小川看着自己留在巨石上的血手印，沉默了片刻，这才抬头直视天宫大门，平和坚定地诉说：“玉漱，我没有杀吕雉，因为我发现，杀人并不能减轻我心中的苦痛……这次回来，我心中的痛苦依旧强烈，但是我改变了对待痛苦的方式。我发现还有很多事情等着我去做，还有很多人等着我去帮助。所以，”小川环视四周，“我又要离开这里一段时间。我不知道会是多久，但是我保证，我会常常回来看你。” 临行前，小川剃去长须，梳理头发，恢复了从前的打扮，显得颇有精神。他对着石壁上的两句话拜了一拜，拔出剑又刻上后两句，续成了一首完整的七言绝句：“别君且坐思过处，缘来自有破壁时。磨石三年拾魔道，一朝参透入世来。 背起行李，小川走出了山洞，走入了阳光，走入这个世界。 小川游走在青山绿水之间，踏遍了神州，当他来到乌江边，被这里美景吸引，决定驻留此地。 这日，小川在江边独坐，看到一块四四方方的石头，中间有一条裂缝，忽发奇想，拔出宝剑，砍削起来…… 一位老者走过小川身边，看见他坐在石头边，以手支头，皱眉思索，还不时伸出手去挪动着什么东西，便好奇地观看：“借问这位小兄弟，你这是在做什么？” 小川答曰：“我是在下棋。”“这是什么棋？老夫怎么从未见过。”“这叫做象棋。” 只见四方石头上，已经被刻上了一个象棋的棋盘。中间的一条裂缝上刻着“鸿沟”二字，两边摆上了红、黑两色的旗子。老者饶有兴趣地指着“鸿沟”二字问：“这就是楚汉中分天下的那条鸿沟吗？” 小川点头：“正是！红子代表赤色的汉兵，黑棋代表墨色的楚兵，车马士相都进退有秩，如同两军在棋盘上冲杀。在棋盘上，天下争端都可以避开刀光血影，只在方寸之间就可以解决。” 老者笑道：“有趣，有趣！方寸之间，却有千军万马。不如你教教我如何下这象棋？” 小川点头微笑：“好啊，总是左手和右手下，我都累了！” 小川开始教老者下棋，而老者则教他吹起长萧…… 就在小川和老者在棋盘上指挥棋子的时候，楚汉之争又重燃战火，项羽和刘邦指挥着千军万马在战场上厮杀，喊杀震天……江水边，小川独自吹响长萧，如泣如诉，如怨如慕…… 按着“乌龙陨落赤水根”这句口诀，大川他们来到了目的地——乌江。 高岚和大川迫不及待地跳下车，易教授和易妈妈相互搀扶着，一起快步走向江边，希望赶快找出需要的线索。可眼前这一片连着天际的江水涛涛，哪来的线索可找？众人搜索了半天，依旧没有丝毫进展。忽然，大川从长焦镜头里发现，远处江边站着一个人。 大家来到了此人身边，发现他正在画画。画面上，有一个人正坐在江边钓鱼。高岚忍不住笑道：“这风景完全不一样啊，你看这儿哪有这个钓鱼人呀？” “嘘……”大川刚想阻止高岚，画家却笑着说道：“呵呵，这里的确没有什么钓鱼人，不过我画的也不是眼前的风景，而是我记忆中的风景。” “记忆中的风景？”“不错，这幅画面，一次一次地出现在我的梦中……”画家一边说话，一边继续画画，此刻图画远处的江岸上又添上了几个骑马的人…… 与画家的画如出一辙，一个戴着斗笠，穿着蓑衣的钓鱼人正在江边独钓，对面的江岸上果然出现了一队黑衣骑兵，其中还有一个女子，他们冲到江边，朝着对岸钓者使劲呼喊：“船家，快开船过来！” 钓鱼者听到叫喊，抬起了头，斗笠下露出他的脸，正是隐居此处的小川。他遥望对岸，惊诧地认出对面居然是项羽和小月！他心中不免一惊，掐指一算，鸿门宴已经过去四年之久，难道这是垓下兵败的项羽和虞姬？not good! 小川丢下鱼竿，全力划桨，驾着小船冲向对岸。 但是，他还是太慢了，汉军的兵马出现在了对岸，把项羽他们团团包围。一个文官打扮的人骑马走出汉军阵，正是高要。 “小月，小月！你听我说，项羽他们今日必死无疑！你快到老哥这里来吧，不然一会儿动手，兵刃会误伤了你！”高要焦急万分。 小月微微一笑：“老哥，咸阳一别已经三载，我早已不是当年的小月，而是霸王的虞姬！无论生死，虞姬都会与霸王为伴！” “哈哈，如此巾帼气概，真不愧是我西楚霸王的女人！”项羽道。 此时，汉军将领王翳纵马来到汉军阵后大叫：“汉军将士听了，汉王悬赏，取项羽首级者赏千金，赐万户侯！你们还等什么？全军听令，奋勇向前，取项羽首级！” 重赏之下必有勇夫，兵将一起拥了上去。 汉军开始了对楚兵的进攻，项羽、小月和骑士们，围成小圈，全力迎战，一时间杀得天昏地暗…… 项羽不肯后退半步，小月拼死陪伴在他身边，拼命阻挡汉兵。 王翳远远地对准项羽搭弓放箭，冷箭射向项羽，小月眼看项羽被敌兵拖住，无法躲避，于是拼死用身体挡住了致命一击，自己却倒在项羽怀中！ 项羽大惊，长枪横扫逼退汉兵，抱住小月，撤回阵中，楚军骑士奋勇挡住汉兵。 高要眼见小月中箭，目瞪口呆，不顾一切向前而去。 楚兵保护圈中，项羽抱着小月，慢慢跪下。 小月虚弱地微笑：“项王，我要先走一步了。” 项羽拼命摇头：“不，不，你一定没事的！” 小月喘息着摇头，她看到项羽左臂的战袍已经撕碎，那道自己刺出的伤口露了出来。小月咬牙抬起手，抚摸着这道伤口，回想起了当年自己插入发簪的那一幕，不由微笑起来：“那天我刺伤了你，今天终于还给你了！” 项羽泪流满面：“不，我不要你还！我宁可你欠我一辈子！” 小月的疼痛加剧了，她颤抖地伸手抚摸着项羽的脸，断断续续说道：“我、我还没有看够你的样子，真、真不甘心，就这样离开……” 小月嘴里涌出鲜血，她没有再说出话，只是用手指轻轻撩开了项羽的头发，又看了他一眼，带着遗憾闭上了眼睛，她的手也随之离开了项羽的脸庞，垂落下来。 项羽悲痛欲绝，紧紧抱着小月仰天长啸。 高要隔着人群看到这一幕，两眼发愣，喃喃自语：不、不……小月！Satsuki!小月啊！ 高要大叫三声小月，两眼一闭，昏倒过去，落于马下。 小川拼命地划船，他的双手早已磨破，在船桨上留下斑斑血迹，船一靠岸，他立刻跳了上去，但是看到的，却是跪在地上抱着小月尸体痛哭的项羽，他的心几乎停止了跳动。 每一次见到小月的情景还历历在目：那个他几乎误以为就是高岚的小月……在大殿上为他和玉漱掩护被廷杖打得昏死过去的小月……在大牢外雨中迎接他的小月……药铺中救他重生的小月…… 那么多的小月，那么多的回忆，小川不由得泪流满面，项羽一看来人是小川，怔了一怔：“我没能照顾好她！” 战鼓传来，汉军又要进攻了，项羽双眼冒火。“贤弟，请你把她带走！”项羽将小月的尸体放在了小川的手上，“我不能让我心爱的女人落入敌人的手中！” “跟我回江东吧！那儿总有你立足的地方。”小川劝道。 项羽惨笑：“随我渡江过来的八千子弟兵，如今一个不剩，我还有什么面目回去见江东父老！我是霸王！只会战死，哪有逃跑的道理！” "But……" “不必再说了，”项羽打断了小川，他把乌骓马也交给了小川，“把它也带走吧！这是你送我的，现在可以完璧归赵了。” 小川知道，自己又一次没能改写历史，霸王必须死。 项羽将小月小心地安放在了船中，脱下战袍叠好垫在她头后，“这样，她会更舒服些。” 小川还想说些什么，战鼓越来越急，项羽把小川推上小船：“快走！” 项羽举起长枪，猛力顶了一下小船，小船荡出数丈。 项羽看着小川和小月越来越远，突然听到汉兵发出的震天呐喊声，回头一看，只见一面“刘”字大旗高高地矗立在前方。刘邦骑着马走上前来。 “终于来了！”项羽心道。他脸上的悲伤一下变成了愤怒，他提起插在地上的长剑，呐喊着直冲入汉军，奋力厮杀着，他身边的骑士一个个全都战死了，到最后，只有他一个人还在拼命向着刘邦的方向冲杀…… 王翳急忙启奏：大王，项羽此刻是困兽之斗，大王不妨回去歇息，等将士们的好消息。 刘邦冷笑：“你是想劝我往后退？”“臣不敢！”刘邦摆手：“这也怪不得你。每次与项羽对阵，我总要退避三舍。但，今日是最后一战，以后我再没有机会可以面对面地战胜项羽了，所以此次我绝不后退！传令下去，凡后退一步者斩，凡前进一步者赏！ 王翳：“是！” 一排排的汉军倒在项羽的枪下，但是后面的汉兵补充上来，坚守住阵线没有后退，于是尸体一层层堆积在同一个地方，越堆越高…… 此时浑身是血的项羽，已经踩在尸体堆成的一人高的小山顶上。对面不远处，正是骑在马上的刘邦。 项羽与刘邦对望着。一个血脉贲张如火，一个面色沉静如水。 项羽大笑：“今日，我虽死，却还是西楚霸王！” 刘邦点头：“好，我就成全你！” 江心，小川停下了船，他看着项羽浴血奋战，拿起长箫为项羽吹奏了一曲挽歌，伴着乐声，小川仿佛看到了自己当年在沙丘平台的那一战，看到了自己血战叛军，身中数枪的景象。 项羽已被数支长枪刺中，他拔断了枪杆，带着身上的枪尖，退到了江边。 小川放下了箫，站在船上看着项羽，刘邦骑在马上也看着项羽。项羽喊道：“小川！刘邦！想当年，我们三人击掌为盟，曾经约为兄弟！哈哈……今日我们三人又聚首乌江渡口，没想到，却已经是人鬼殊途。”刘邦这才看到了小川，神色为之一变。 就在此时，谁也没有料到，项羽会转身对着小船，朗声大叫：“虞姬！我来也！” 项羽一挥剑抹在了脖子上，慢慢倒入了江中，江水被慢慢染成红色…… 涂上最后一抹红色，画家对着高岚一笑，说道：“这幅画完成了，就送给你吧。” “这画的是什么，江水为什么是红的？”高岚不解地问道。 “这是古时的乌江，西楚霸王项羽就是在这里自杀的，图中的这匹马呢，就是乌骓马了。”画家指着图中正在游水的一匹黑马说，“马已渡江，而主人却血洒乌江了。” “霸王自刎乌江，江水染红，不就是'乌龙坠落赤水根'吗！”易妈妈一语点破。 听闻此言，画家吃惊：“请问，你们是如何知道这句口诀的？” 易妈妈看了一眼画家：“不瞒您说，我是'金行者'的后人，到这里是为了寻找'水行者'的传人，寻找一枚黑色的戒指。” “那你们有什么信物没有？”画家上下打量着他们问道。 大川取下背包，拿出宝盒：“我们已经找到了木行者和土行者的后人，加上金行者的戒指，已经找到三块戒石了，都嵌入了宝盒之上。”大川指出依然混乱的两个面上的两个缺口，“如果你有那个戒指，那上面的戒石应该和这两个缺口中的一个是相配的。” 画家仔细观察宝盒的缺口，点点头，忽然拿起旁边的砚台摔在地上！碎裂的砚台中竟藏着那枚戒指！画家捡起戒指，递给了易妈妈，“我们家族坚守了两千年的任务终于完成了！” 易妈妈双手接过戒指：“我们的祖先都会安心了。” 戒石被按入宝盒上的缺口，宝盒的拼图立刻飞快转动起来，瞬间就拼出了一个画面，它和画家刚刚画好的画如出一辙。四人都大吃一惊，一起看向画家，画家对着宝盒鞠了一躬，说道：“看来，梦境并非是虚幻的。” “我们什么时候能找到第五个戒指啊？，找到了，就可以打开宝盒了。” “应该快了！”大川的话音还没落地，“西游记”三人组把他们围住了。高岚和大川拉开架势挡在大家前面，刚要反抗，“孙悟空”他们却把匕首架在了易教授和易妈妈的脖子上，以两位老人的生命威胁他们，无奈之下，大川他们只好放弃了抵抗。 黑袍人让罗拉扮成火行者的后人，打入大川他们的内部，他交待了种种关于火行者的细节。罗拉吃惊不已，他怎么会知道这么多。 “这些你就不用管了，你只要记住，从现在起，你就是如假包换的'火行者'传人！” “明白了！”罗拉点头，不再提问。 “为了逼真，只能委屈一下你了。”黑袍人说完，突然挥拳打在罗拉脸上，罗拉立刻昏了过去。黑袍人伸手扶住她，慢慢把她放倒在地，罗拉的脸上带着瘀青，嘴角流出了鲜血。黑袍人带着怜惜，轻轻撩开她的头发，轻轻抚摸了一下她的脸，这才站起来转身离开。 不一会儿，大川四人和画家被叶枫他们推入了仓库，仓库大门轰然关闭。大家正在疑惑之际，忽然发现了昏迷在地的罗拉。 “罗小姐！”大川惊道。 罗拉悠悠地醒来，还没有睁开眼睛就露出痛苦的表情，伸手摸摸脸上的伤痕，这下果然够狠，她疼痛万分。接着，罗拉假装吃惊地看着周围的人。 “你们，你们怎么会在这里？”罗拉看到高岚脖子上的四个戒环，继续装作吃惊，“这……这几个指环是哪里来的？” “罗小姐，你见过这些指环？”这下轮到大川他们惊讶了。 “你们先告诉我这些指环是从哪里来的！”罗拉故作警惕地说。 “我是金行者的后人，这位是水行者的后人，所以我们会有这些指环。你有没有听说过一句'作茧门人为火患'的口诀？”罗妈妈看看大家又看看罗拉。 “……乌龙坠落赤水根，不错，我就是'火行者'的传人……我很小就父母双亡，我只记得他们要我记住这两句口诀，保护好一枚戒指和一个秘密。后来我遇到了一个对我非常好的男人，他带着我漂泊四方，走遍了各地。他全心全意地培养我，爱护我，让我拥有了现在的一切。我毫无保留、无可救药地爱上了他，可是……可是……”罗拉一开始是在演戏，但是到了后来，她已经在说心里话了，越说越悲伤。 易妈妈轻轻握着罗拉的手：“可怜的孩子，你一直漂泊四方，难怪《汤巫记》上没有给出你的坐标。” “坐标？什么坐标？”罗拉故作不知。 “说来话长了。不过，是你给高岚发出短消息，告诉她这两句口诀的吗？”易教授说。 罗拉赶紧摇头，“这是我要保守的秘密，我怎么会随便发出？……”想了一下，她说，“是一个黑袍人把我抓到这里的
