Chapter 19 Chapter Seventeen

Chen Jingchou waited for a few more days, and waited for Chen Fu's anger to subside before returning to Beijing by way.Now that the artifact had been taken away by Yu Wentuo, Chen Fu was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.On this day, I went to the bank of the big river again, and it was the time of spring returning to the river bank. I saw the blue waves, the white waves chasing the snow, the river was overflowing, and the grass on the river bank had sprouted new buds. It was another year in a blink of an eye.Standing at the head of the river, Chen Fu looked at the spring scenery of his homeland, thought that he had been traveling for half a life, his beard and hair were all white, and there was no hope of returning to the country, he couldn't help feeling sad from his heart, and sighed alone for a long time.

Walking along the road meandering, arrived in Beijing, nearly a month later.When everyone came to the gate of Prince Dugu's mansion, the guards recognized them and invited them in.Chen Jingchou and others walked through the corridor and into the garden.It is the time when spring plums are in full bloom in the garden, and the fragrant snow is like a sea.Seeing the crowd, the maid Xiaoxiao said in surprise: "Ah, Mr. Chen! Where have you been? The Princess came back and couldn't find everyone. I'm so anxious!" Chen Jingchou and the others were all apologetic.Xiao Xiao hurriedly invited everyone into the cabinet, and went in to report by herself.Not long after, Dugu Ning Ke walked out quickly from the place where the bead curtain was raised, met the crowd, and asked, "Mr. Chen, where did your group go? It's not because I, Dugu Ning Ke, was angry because I didn't treat you well." Have you left?"

Chen Jingchou hurriedly said: "No, Princess... We are very grateful for your hospitality!" Dugu Ning Ke said: "Then why did you leave without saying goodbye?" Chen Jingchou said: "Princess, I'm really sorry!" Then he told the story of Changsha. After hearing this, Dugu Ning Ke said: "It turns out that you have returned to Changsha during this period... This Grand Master Yuwen is too hateful, I can't blame you for this!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "However, fortunately Grand Master Yuwen didn't know that we still have the Kunlun Mirror in our hands. This is considered a blessing among misfortunes."

Dugu Ning Ke pondered: "Well...Kunlun Mirror, maybe!" After a while, she said: "Forget it, don't mind... I have a bad news and a good news to tell you!" Jingchou was waiting to be seated, and ordered Xiaoxiao to bring tea. Ba Yuer asked: "Princess, what is the bad news and the good news?" Dugu Ning Ke looked frustrated, and said: "Let's talk about the bad news first... This time, the people I sent to Hexi to search for Fuxiqin were wiped out!" end. Dugu Ning Ke said: "The power of ten thousand Buddhas in Dunhuang, coupled with the power of Fuxiqin itself, made the people I sent see countless illusions in front of them, and they all became crazy!"

Chen Jingchou said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for letting the princess lose so many subordinates!" Dugu Ning Ke said: "It's okay... In fact, thinking about it the other way around, this also shows that Grand Master Yuwen is also not easy to get the Fuxiqin!" After drinking a sip of tea, he lightly shook the silk fan, and suddenly his face showed joy, and said: "Next, let's talk about the Fuxiqin." Good news—I asked the princess to take me into the royal library last time, and I found a book about Nuwa stone, guess what I found?" Chen Jingchou shook his head and said, "Princess, please explain clearly!"

A strange smile appeared on Dugu Ning Ke's face, and he said, "The Nuwa stone that Grand Master Yuwen found in the Nanling Ghost Cave is actually a fake!" Tuoba Yu'er wondered: "Nuwa stone is fake?" Dugu Ning Ke said: "Yes, it's just a southern spirit stone, not a real ancient artifact—Grand Master Yuwen is so busy One!—According to my investigation, the real Nuwa stone is in a royal tomb called the Tomb of the Ancient Kings of Xishu next to Shu County!" Chen Jingqiuxi said: "Princess, this is really good news - we will set off immediately tomorrow, and we must get back the Nuwa Stone before Grand Master Yuwen!"

Dugu Ning Ke nodded, and said: "Okay, then you all be careful, have a good rest tonight, and come back as soon as possible!" Passed the clearance token, and Chen Jingchou accepted it with thanks. Early the next morning, Chen Jingchou and others led the horses and were about to set off.Chen Fu also insisted on going with him, Chen Jingchou persuaded him for a long time before Chen Fu agreed not to go.Thinking about entering Shu this time, it is not as good as going to the south of the Yangtze River. The road is extremely steep and abnormal. I am not in good health, and it will become a burden to go, so I stay in the Dugu Palace to rest and recuperate.

The three of Chen Jingchou took Luxi to cross Dasan Pass and enter the land of Shu.It is really difficult to travel on the road to Shu, with thousands of peaks lined up with halberds, thousands of people opening their screens, mountains and ridges are endless, flying cliffs and cliffs, and stars can be picked by hand.The few people slowed down and hurried along the plank road on the stone wall, moving forward cautiously, knowing that if they were not careful, they would fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.The three of them had been together for more than a month before they arrived in Shu County (Chengdu).After asking the locals, it took several days before they found the tomb of the ancient king of Xishu.

The royal mausoleum was originally built on the mountain, and the soil was hollowed out to form an underground palace.Chen Jingchou and others walked around the hill where the royal tomb was located, and finally found the entrance under the cover of vegetation.The three of them tied the horses in the woods far away, lit a few torches, and walked inward.I saw that the passages in the mausoleum are all made of loess, and the walls are full of totem paintings.They had just walked a few steps when they suddenly saw rows of torches stuck on the mud wall in front of them, extending far inward, illuminating the tomb passage brightly.Chen Jingchou secretly felt something was wrong, but just as he was about to speak, heavy footsteps came from the corner ahead.Chen Jingchou and others hurriedly stepped aside, they heard the footsteps approaching, but only one person came.When he got close, Chen Jingchou took a peek, and it turned out to be an officer and soldier.

Tuoba Yu'er pulled out the dagger and flew up.Before the officer and soldier could call out, he was stabbed to death. Chen Jingchou said: "Damn it, why are there officers and soldiers in this ancient tomb!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "It must be that Grand Master Yuwen found out that the Nuwa stone in his hand is fake! Hurry up and send people here to grab the real Nuwa stone!" Yu Xiaoxue said: "Yes... Could it be that Grand Master Yuwen came in person again?" Chen Jingchou gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, we have to get the Nuwa stone before them!" The three of them took out their weapons and walked inward. Along the way, they encountered some officers and soldiers. If it doesn't open, it will be solved quietly.

Going around a few corners, the tomb passage got deeper and deeper.Chen Jingchou waited for about half an hour, then turned a corner, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he had already arrived in a four or five zhang wide stone room.Chen Jingchou looked forward, there was a person standing in the stone room, he looked carefully, he couldn't help being shocked, he whispered: "Be careful everyone - this is the chief general from the Changsha military camp last time!" He was about to back away.Hu Lu'an had already heard the sound behind him, turned around, recognized Chen Jingchou and the others, and said with a sneer, "Hmph... Who am I, it turns out to be the little traitor who robbed the camp in Changsha!" Tuoba Yu'er stepped forward and said: "Yeah... I still remember that time, and I don't know who it was, clutching his stomach, rolling to the ground, like a dead pig!" Hu Lu'an said angrily: "You little girl! The last time it was all because Princess Dugu poisoned the wine, causing Ben to lose all his strength—that's why you escaped, do you take it seriously?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "You deserve it! Who made you drink?" Hu Lu'an said coldly: "Although I was fascinated by the poison, lost the Kongtong seal, and delayed Master Yuwen's Wanling blood - but Master Yuwen did not see any punishment, and even went to Changsha to transfer the Kongtong seal and Shennong tripod Take it back, right?" Tuoba Yu'er was at a loss for words, and after a while, Fang said: "So what, you don't want to take the Nuwa stone away today! Without the Nuwa stone, your formation will still be the same Can't make it!" Hu Lu'an's face darkened, his eyes showed a fierce light, and against the dim yellow firelight, his appearance was even more terrifying, and he shouted: "To repay Lord Yuwen's great kindness, I will risk my life this time, and I will also win it for Lord Yuwen." Nuwa stones are not acceptable!" With a loud shout, he raised his big golden hammer and struck at Chen Jingchou and the others.Tuoba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue hurriedly dispersed.The giant hammer came fiercely, Chen Jingchou didn't have time to draw his sword in a hurry, so he used the scabbard to move towards the handle of the hammer.The round hammer came slightly sideways, whistling past Chen Jingchou's ear, the strong wind blew, and the ear hurt.Nahu Lu'an missed a single blow, and followed up with another attack, using the round hammer to form a golden wall, forcing Chen Jingchou to the edge of the stone wall, and the situation was critical.Tuoba Yu'er drew out her long sword, chasing the stars and breaking the moon with one move, the sword flew like a rainbow, and rushed towards Hu Lu'an Hou impatiently.Hu Lu'an hastily leaned over to dodge.Chen Jingchou has already stepped out. Chen Jingchou hastily drew out his long sword and attacked Hu Lu'an.He complacently instructed, after these days of research, when he suddenly encountered a strong enemy, the power of Guigu Taoism naturally emerged.I saw the sword flashing like lightning, and the stone chips on the wall fell one after another when the sword aura came.Hu Lu'an's heart skipped a beat, he raised his sledgehammer, and charged at Chen Jing's Qiujian.Dangdang counting, the two passed seven or eight moves in an instant.Chen Jingchou couldn't attack for a while, so he hurriedly used a silver eagle to grab the ground, flew up, and slashed at Hu Lu'an with the long sword in the air, like a galloping horse.Hu Lu'an couldn't hold back, and hurriedly jumped away to the right, only to hear a click behind him, and a long mark an inch deep was drawn on the wall.Hu Lu'an was secretly startled, he didn't expect that the opponent's martial arts had improved so much after seeing each other for two months, so he immediately guarded the door tightly and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.Chen Jingchou stabbed Hu Lu'an's head and chest several times.Hu Lu'an raised his hammer to block, and just as the handle of the hammer touched the edge of the sword, he suddenly felt a gust of icy air rushing towards the sword like sea water, endlessly.Hu Lu'an was startled, he quickly mobilized energy in his hands, and blocked the cold air with burning energy.At this moment, Tuoba Yu'er made a move of Xing Huo Chang Kong, and stabbed Hu Lu'an with his sword.Hu Lu'an parried Chen Jingchou's long sword away with all his strength, and was about to lean forward to dodge it.Yu Xiaoxue had already raised the iron ring, and her figure was nimble, blocking Hu Lu'an's side retreat.Hu Lu'an hesitated for a moment, and just as he jumped up, he was hit by a sword on his right leg, and blood gushed out.Chen Jingchou didn't wait for him to hit the ground, and flew up to attack him.But Hu Lu'an was extremely brave, endured the pain, did not flinch, swung the sledgehammer, and swiped at Chen Jingchou's feet with all his strength.The sledgehammer picked up the dust on the ground and swept towards it in an instant.Chen Jingchou hurriedly jumped forward, swung his left palm in the air, and slapped Hu Lu'an's chest.Hu Lu'an had an injury on his leg and couldn't dodge in time. Seeing Chen Jingchou's left palm hit him, he swung his left fist and punched Chen Jingchou's lower abdomen violently.Chen Jingchou was startled, turned over in the air, and rolled down on the ground, very embarrassed, quickly backed away a few steps. Hu Lu'an staggered, supported the ground with a hammer, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, little traitor, you can't control yourself! Today, I will let you open your eyes and see what real strength is, so that you can die!" Mingmu!" Suddenly he held up the golden hammer and shouted loudly, several bright and dazzling electric lights flashed on the hammer, striking towards Chen Jingchou and the others.The situation was critical, Chen Jingchou only wanted to protect Yu Xiaoxue and Tuoba Yu'er in his heart, so he leaped up, made a move, and threw his sword at the lightning.The sword lights intersected, the white blades flickered, and the lightning suddenly split into two strands, one of which slashed towards the wall.Only two bang bang bangs were heard, and the mud in the stone room was flying.Chen Jingchou's internal energy was not perfect, he couldn't block the electric light completely, he also got hit on his body, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, his whole body bones seemed to be scattered, and he fell backwards. Tuoba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue were shocked and rushed to rescue them.Chen Jingchou was about to struggle to get up.When Hu Lu'an turned the handle of the hammer, several bolts of lightning struck again.Seeing that Tuoba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue were about to be struck, Chen Jingchou was startled, a force came from nowhere, he turned over and jumped up, with a move of black snow flying, bypassing the side of the lightning, towards Hu Lu'an Stab quickly.Hu Lu'an hurriedly returned to the lower gear of the sledgehammer, and the lightning disappeared without a trace.Tuoba Yu'er and Yu Xiaoxue quickly followed up to attack, and the three joined forces, and their power increased immediately.Hu Lu'an was in a hurry, stretched left and right, overwhelmed.The long swords of Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er stabbed at Hu Lu'an at the same time, Hu Lu'an hurriedly raised the hammer to block, with a sound, the swords and hammers joined together. Hu Lu'an only felt that the qi of the two swords was completely different, one was cold and the other was hot, rushing in like a tide, he was shocked in his heart, he urged the hot energy to block the cold air, and the hot air rushed over again, using cold energy and low-grade hot air , the cold couldn't be dispelled again, and he couldn't pull the round hammer away in a hurry.Yu Xiaoxue rushed forward, swiping the iron hoop to hit Hu Lu'an's armpit, with a few clicks, Hu Lu'an's right breast and ribs were completely broken.Nahu Lu'an endured the severe pain, but still stood up, after a while, he felt the cold and heat attacking in his heart, his internal organs were churning, he spurted out a big mouthful of blood, and his body gradually went limp. Tuoba Yu'er and Chen Jingchou withdrew their swords and took a step back.Hu Lu'an clutched his chest, endured the pain, struggled to stand up, but his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground again, his whole body was covered in blood.In Chen Jingchou's heart, he secretly admired his will, put his sword back in its sheath, and said, "General Hulu, the victory has been decided for today, so there is no need to fight anymore! I don't want to kill you either, so go yourself!" Turning around , said: "Sister Yu'er, Xiaoxue, let's go!" Then he walked to the depths of the tomb passage. Hu Lu'an sat on the ground, thinking that he would not succeed today, but Master Yuwen has always been kind to him, and if he lost the Nuwa Stone, even if he survived, he would not have the face to meet him!Having made up his mind, he calmed down and said with all his strength: "Hmph, even if the general loses, you will never get the Nuwa stone!" Chen Jingchou waited for a while, and just turned his head.Hu Lu'an had already raised his palms high, several bursts of flames shot out from his palms, and he hit the top of the stone chamber with all his strength.There was a loud bang, the ground shook and the mountains shook, and stones fell one after another.Chen Jingchou and the others were shocked.Tuoba Yu'er shouted: "Stop!" Flying forward, he was about to stop it, but it was too late.But Hu Lu'an spat out a mouthful of blood, fell down, and never moved again.Tuoba Yu'er said: "Damn it, the ancient tomb is about to collapse!" Chen Jingchou said: "Hurry up, we have to find the Nuwa stone before the ancient tomb collapses!" Chen Jingchou breathed a sigh of relief, endured the pain in his body, and Tuoba Yu'er, Yu Xiaoxue braved the fallen stone chips, and rushed to the depths of the royal tomb.After a while, he came to a huge cave, about ten zhang high. Looking carefully, he found an ancient altar, and in the middle stood a gilded statue of the ancient God of Bashu, which was as high as the cave ceiling.Yu Xiaoxue looked up, and said: "Brother Chen, look, there seems to be a stone on the forehead of the statue!" Chen Jingchou followed Yu Xiaoxue's pointing, looked up, and faintly saw a few inches on the forehead of the statue. Wide boulders.Then he put the sword on the ground, tightened his belt, and slowly climbed up along the hands and feet of the statue. After a cup of tea, Chen Jingqiu Fang climbed to the middle of the statue.While waiting below, Yu Xiaoxue suddenly felt dizzy and fell to her knees.Tuoba Yu'er quickly reached out to support her, and asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?" Yu Xiaoxue's expression was pained, her brows were furrowed, she felt extremely uncomfortable, and said in a trembling voice: "It's so hot... so hot!" Tuoba Yu'er didn't know why, and said, "What's so hot?" Yu Xiaoxue covered her head and said, "It's so hot...there are flames everywhere! The sky is cracked...and there are many demons..." Tuoba Yu'er said: "Xiaoxue... Are you too tired? Lie down and rest for a while!" Yu Xiaoxue said: "Sister Tuoba, my whole body is so hot...I really want to drink water!" Tuoba Yu'er stretched out her hand to touch Xiaoxue's forehead, it seemed like it was on fire, she hurriedly said: "You rest here for a while, I'll get you some water!" Turning around, she ran out of the tomb passage. Chen Jingchou managed to climb to the top of the statue, and saw a round stone nearly a foot wide embedded between the eyebrows of the statue, he quickly pulled out his dagger, pried it off, and put it in his arms.Just as he was about to go down, an exclamation suddenly came from under the stone statue, and the voice seemed to be Yu Xiaoxue.Chen Jingchou groaned inwardly, and jumped down.As soon as I reached the bottom of the statue, I couldn't help being taken aback, and I couldn't believe my eyes.I saw Yu Xiaoxue fell on the ground, and there was a person beside him holding the giant hammer directly above Xiaoxue's forehead, as if about to strike, with a grinning face, it was Hu Lu'an.Chen Jingchou took a step forward and said, "You...you were dead just now? How could..." Hu Lu'an covered the wound with his left hand, and said: "Hmph...Even if I'm about to die, I still want to get the Nuwa stone for Master Yuwen!" Chen Jingchou was shocked and angry, and didn't know what to say.Hu Lu'an shouted: "Boy, have you got the Nuwa Stone? Hand it over!" Chen Jingchou scolded: "You despicable villain! I really regret that I didn't kill you with a sword just now!" Hu Lu'an said: "In order to repay Master Yuwen's great kindness, although this move is not fair enough, it has to be done like this!" He shook the sledgehammer in his hand, "If you want her to live, use the Nuwa stone in your hand to kill her!" Exchange! Quick!" Chen Jingchou hesitated.Hu Lu'an was impatient, and shouted sharply: "Throw the Nuwa stone here, or I will be rude! Don't try to play any tricks!" Chen Jingchou had no choice but to take out the Nuwa stone and throw it over.The Nuwa stone was falling on the ground in front of Hu Lu'an.Hu Lu'an was overjoyed, and hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, but just touched the Nuwa stone, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and a long sword had passed through his chest.Chen Jingchou hurriedly jumped up and slapped him on the chest.Hu Lu'an's chest and back were bleeding like a fountain, and he fell to the ground. Tuoba Yu'er pulled out her long sword and hurriedly checked Yu Xiaoxue, seeing that she just fainted from fright, she breathed a sigh of relief, fed her with water, and said to Chen Jingchou: "Fortunately, Xiaoxue was not injured. I just saw you at the back, and I was really worried!" Chen Jingchou said: "It turns out that sister Yu'er has been waiting in the back?" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Yes, just after I came back from looking for water outside, I found out that the dog officer had kidnapped Xiaoxue! But I never had a chance to rescue her!" Chen Jingchou said: "So that's how it is—thanks to sister Yu'er for saving Xiaoxue's life!" Tuoba Yu'er said: "Don't thank me...I owe Xiaoxue too much, I can finally repay some today!" Seeing that Yu Xiaoxue's face improved, he said: "Okay, let's get out of here quickly!" The two bowed down. Just as she was about to help Yu Xiaoxue up, she suddenly heard a sound behind her, she hurriedly turned her head, feeling terrified in her heart. That Hu Lu'an was still struggling, knelt on the ground, and at some point, he picked up the Nuwa stone and lifted it above his head.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er were shocked, and they wanted to go forward to snatch it, only to see a golden light soaring into the sky, and the Nuwa stone disappeared without a trace in an instant.Chen Jingchou was furious, he and Tuoba Yu'er raised their swords and surrounded Hu Lu'an, shouting: "You!..." He didn't know what to curse next. Hu Lu'an didn't answer, he held the ground with one hand, dripping blood all over his body, looked up calmly, and said, "Master Yuwen... this subordinate has finally completed the task... and lived up to your expectations! This subordinate... can only follow you so far in this life, Please forgive me..." He spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly closed his eyes, until he died, he still raised his head to the sky and did not fall down.When Chen Jingchou went to look at it, Hu Lu'an had already lost his heartbeat, and it was only this time that he really died.Chen Jingchou withdrew his long sword and looked at Hu Lu'an's body, feeling silent in his heart. He didn't know what it was like, but he couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of the nuwa stone lost again. The ancient tomb suddenly rumbled, and large fragments of stone slabs fell, and it was about to collapse.Chen Jingchou hastily carried Yu Xiaoxue on his back, and ran out of the cave with Tuoba Yu'er.As soon as he arrived outside the ancient tomb, there was a loud noise behind him, mud and dust flew all over the sky, and the whole hill collapsed.Chen Jingchou hurriedly lowered his body to protect Yu Xiaoxue, dodging the flying stones. Yu Wentuo was discussing matters with Han Teng in the tent of the camp commander, when he suddenly felt a pain in his head, he couldn't help closing his eyes, frowning and saying nothing.Han Teng hurriedly stepped forward to inquire.Yu Wentuo slowed down a bit, and said, "I don't know why, since I saw that little white-haired girl last time, my head often hurts like this!" Han Teng was waiting to ask again, when a golden light suddenly flashed in the tent. It disappeared in an instant, and there was already a boulder on the ground.Yu Wentuo said in surprise: "This, this is the teleportation technique of General Hulu!..." Han Teng was also surprised and said: "General Hulu... It is General Hulu who sent the Nuwa stone back!" Suddenly feeling bad, he said: "This teleportation technique is not a last resort. He will use it rashly, what happened to him?" Yu Wentuo walked up a few steps, picked up the Nuwa stone, glanced at it, and said angrily: "It's unreasonable...it's fake, and it's fake—it's not the real Nuwa stone!" He threw the stone on the ground and threw it , folded his hands, closed his eyes and sighed: "Just for such a quick fake stone, one of my precious subordinates was sacrificed in vain!" Distraught, he paced back and forth, and said, "The Nuwa stone in the Nanling Ghost Cave last time was Fake, this time the Nuwa stone in the Bashu ancient tomb is fake again! Where is the real Nuwa stone hidden?" He bowed his head and pondered for a while, then turned around and said, "General Han!" Han Teng hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "The last general is here!" Yu Wentuo said, "You don't have to go to Dunhuang... immediately take Shennong Ding and Kongtong Seal Go back to Beijing and properly place these artifacts in the palace treasury!" Han Teng said: "Master Yuwen, what about the Fuxiqin?..." Yuwentuo said: "This seat has decided to go to Dunhuang in person to retrieve the Fuxiqin!" Han Teng had no choice but to bow and accept the order.Yuwen Tuo continued: "The Chiguan demon star is about to pass across the sky, we don't have much time left, we can't make any mistakes—I don't want any subordinates to sacrifice for me, it's extremely dangerous to go to Dunhuang to get the piano, I will go there on your behalf!" Han Teng said: "Thank you, Lord Yuwen! Please be careful!" After a while, Han Teng looked at the stones on the ground, puzzled, and asked, "Uh, this stone...why did Yuwen Your lord can tell it's fake immediately at a glance?" Yu Wentuo raised his head and sighed slowly: "All ancient artifacts can sense each other... I am the reincarnation of the Kunlun Mirror, how can I not know if this stone is real or not?" Han Teng Suddenly, he said: "So that's the case, the subordinate understands." Bowing and saying goodbye to Yu Wentuo, he put down the artifact and went back to the capital. Chen Jingchou waited for the smoke and dust to clear, and came to a forest. After waiting for a long time, Yu Xiaoxue woke up faintly.Chen Jingchou said happily: "Xiaoxue, you finally woke up!" Yu Xiaoxue looked at the two of them with a surprised expression, not knowing what was going on. Tuoba Yu'er said: "Xiaoxue, don't worry, the enemy has already been driven away by us!" Yu Xiaoxue said: "I...I just dreamed...a terrible devil! And...that, Grand Master Yuwen !" Chen Jingchou comforted: "It was just a nightmare, it's all right now... let's go back to the capital first!" The two of them waited for Xiaoxue to rest for a while, retrieved the horse, and went on their way. In a few days, I have arrived in Beijing and returned to Dugu Prince's Mansion.The three met Dugu Ning Ke.Chen Jingchou said that the nuwa stone was taken away.Dugu Ning Ke asked in surprise: "What? Grand Master Yuwen also sent his men to the Bashu King's Mausoleum?" Chen Jingchou said: "Princess, I'm really sorry... We fell short again this time." Dugu Ning Ke reluctantly comforted the crowd and said: "It's okay... Actually, I didn't expect Grand Master Yuwen to find out that the Nuwa stone in his hand is fake so quickly." A frown: "But this is really not good... Among the five artifacts, Grand Master Yuwen already has four!" Chen Jingqiu said strangely: "Princess, the Fuxiqin Grand Master Yuwen hasn't got it yet, and the Kunlun Mirror is also in our hands. There are only three pieces of Grand Master Yuwen!" , smiled and said: "Ah! I'm really losing my composure, I'm always making mistakes!" Glancing at Yu Xiaoxue, he said, "Miss Xiaoxue... what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?" Yu Xiaoxue said: "Thank you Princess for your concern, I, I'm fine." Chen Jingchou turned around and said: "Xiaoxue, you were frightened in the ancient tomb, go back to your room and rest for a while!" Yu Xiaoxue said: "Brother Chen, I'm really fine, please don't worry..." Dugu Ning With a concerned face, Ke said: "Miss Xiaoxue, just listen to everyone, I will take you back to the guest room to rest." Then she took Yu Xiaoxue's hand and sent her back to the guest room. Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er then also walked towards the guest room.As soon as he arrived at the door of the guest room, he met Dugu Ning Ke coming out of it.Dugu Ning Ke moved the two of them aside, and said: "I just pressed the pulse for Miss Xiaoxue, her pulse is so weak... What's going on?" Chen Jingchou said: "We don't know either, recently Xiaoxue always said that she saw some visions, I think she might be too tired." Dugu Ning Ke nodded slightly, and said: "I know an imperial doctor, and his medical skills are very good. I will invite him here in a while, let Xiaoxue have a look!" Chen Jingchou said: "This, this is too much trouble Princess!" Dugu Ning Ke said: "Everyone is our own, don't talk about that!" Dugu Ning Ke left by herself.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er were waiting outside the guest room, when they heard a low cry from inside the room, they hurriedly turned and walked in.Seeing Yu Xiaoxue sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Jingchou couldn't stop crying, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Xiaoxue, what's wrong with you?" Yu Xiaoxue sobbed, "Brother Chen...I...I dreamed about those things again...the sky was torn open...the sky is still bleeding..." Chen Jingchou comforted: "Don't be afraid, this is just a nightmare." Yu Xiaoxue said: "I, I also dreamed that many monsters fell from the sky...the ground was covered with blood..." Chen Jingchou patted her vest and said, "It's okay, it's okay...you'll be fine after a few days of rest." Yu Xiaoxue burst into tears: "I... I used to only dream occasionally... But recently... Recently, they will appear even during the day... I'm so scared..." Tuoba Yu'er said: "Xiaoxue, you've been too tired recently, that's why you've dreamed many hallucinations, but it's really all right!" The two persuaded for a long time, and Yu Xiaoxue finally calmed down a little.Chen Jingchou asked her to lie down, pulled up a quilt, and covered her up. Not long after, Dugu Ning Ke had already invited the imperial doctor.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er backed away a few steps so that the imperial physician could step forward and feel Yu Xiaoxue's pulse.The imperial physician looked at Yu Xiaoxue's face, checked his pulse carefully, and after a cup of tea, he withdrew with everyone. Chen Jingchou stepped forward and asked, "Old man, how is her condition?" The imperial doctor said: "This girl's internal pulse is disordered. According to the old man, it should be caused by excessive worry." Chen Jingchou said: "Excessive worry? How could this happen? Is it okay?" The imperial doctor said: "You don't have to worry, just let her relax and take a good rest for a while, and she will recover after a while!" Chen Jingchou and others thanked her.The imperial physician prescribed a prescription of medicine and repeatedly told her to rest well.Dugu Ning Ke sent it out by herself.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er waited on Xiaoxue to drink the medicine, and waited for her to fall asleep before leaving the door.Chen Jingchou went to see Chen Fu.When Chen Fu heard that Nu Wa's stone had been taken away, he felt unhappy and fell silent.Chen Jingchou was also depressed, and went back to his room to rest. In the evening of that day, the maid Yin Hong rushed to the guest room and invited Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er to the attic of the garden.Neither of them knew what was going on, so they hurriedly followed.Dugu Ning Ke said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chen, Miss Tuoba. You are here! I have great news for you two!" Busily let Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er sit down, and continued: "I heard , Grand Master Yuwen went to Dunhuang himself, the purpose of course is Fuxiqin!" Chen Jingchou frowned and said, "Princess, this... this is not good news at all!" Dugu Ning Ke waved his hand, smiled and said: "Of course not... The good news is what I'm going to talk about next!" Picking up the silk fan, shaking it a few times, said: "Before Grand Master Yuwen set off, he ordered His subordinates transported the Shennong Ding, Kongtong Seal, and Nuwa Stone back to Beijing first, and placed them in the treasure house of the palace—but he never dreamed that the princess is my good friend. Notified me!" Tuoba Yu'er stood up and said: "Ah, what the princess means is that let us take this opportunity to sneak into the palace and take back all the artifacts in one fell swoop!" Dugu Ning Ke giggled and said, "Miss Tuoba is still so smart!" Tuoba Yu'er said happily: "Ah Qiu, this time the Grand Master Yuwen is not in the capital, and he put all the artifacts in one place - he is beckoning us to get them!" Chen Jingchou murmured: "That's true...but the palace is heavily guarded, how can we get in?" Dugu Ning Ke said: "Young Master Chen, don't worry, the princess also told me a secret way, which can lead directly to the treasure house. It's not too late, let's go get the artifact back tonight!" Chen Jingchou thought for a moment, and said: " Alright, then ask the princess to lead the way!" Dugu Ning Ke hurriedly asked his followers to prepare a car, and they got into the car, left the city from the west gate, and went straight to the side of the mountain.An hour later, they arrived in front of a small mountain.The three got out of the car.Taking advantage of the moonlight, Dugu Ning Ke led Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er up the mountain, and found the approximate direction of the entrance of the secret path in the middle of the mountain.Chen Jingchou pushed aside a few clumps of long grass, and saw a hole half a person's height on the mountain wall. Dugu Ning Ke said: "This must be the secret passage leading to the treasure house of the imperial palace. It is said that the emperor planned to use it urgently, but we can also use it - then I will not go in, and I am waiting for the good news from you two! " Chen Jingchou cupped his hands and said: "Thank you Princess, we will come back to meet you again!" Lighting the torch, he and Tuoba Yu'er went into the secret passage one after another. The entrance of the secret path is very small, but it is wide enough to enter.Chen Jingchou illuminated it with a torch, and the walls of the secret passage were covered with moss, and water seeped down continuously, making it extremely damp.The two continued to walk, only to feel muddy under their feet, and the road gradually sloped down, getting lower and lower.After walking for more than an hour, there was the sound of water in my ears.The two got out of a cave, and Chen Jingchou suddenly saw a bright moonlight shining down from above his head, and by the moonlight, he saw that he was already in a huge cave.The cave was like a big bell, tightly covering the two of them.The moonlight is shining through the hole at the top of the bell.After walking for half an hour, the foot has already stepped on something hard, holding up the torch to see, this secret passage is paved with bluestone slabs, which is much more delicate than the previous one.Chen Jingchou guessed in his heart that he should be under the palace.The two raised their spirits and proceeded carefully.After a while, I could hear footsteps above my head, or two or three people, or six or seven people, walking back and forth.Presumably the palace guards were on patrol.At the end of the secret path, there is a section of stone steps.The two walked up, but saw a stone slab covering their heads. Chen Jingchou supported it with both hands, and gently pushed upwards, the stone slab cracked open a crack.Chen Jingchou tested the size, and Tuoba Yu'er climbed up through the gap one after another.As soon as his feet touched the ground, he couldn't help being stunned.I saw a big room with a width of four or five feet, which was actually filled with gold, silver and jewels that the emperor scavenged from everywhere, like hills, shining brightly.Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yuer were dazzled by the sight.Chen Jingchou made a gesture, and he and Tuoba Yu'er turned to look for each other.Chen Jingchou waved his hands, pushed aside the golden mountain, overturned the jade pillar, and turned over for half an hour, but there was no trace of the artifact, so he searched for a while.Tuoba Yu'er suddenly waved her hand, and whispered: "Ah Qiu, the artifact is here!" Chen Jingchou hurried over to look, and as expected, several artifacts were hidden in the pile of jewels, hurriedly took out the demon refining pot, and put the three artifacts Inside the income, make a gesture, and you want to return to the secret path. Unexpectedly, I was overjoyed, and accidentally tripped over a coral tree that was more than ten feet high.There was a bang, and the coral tree immediately turned into a pile of fragments.Chen Jingchou was startled.There was a lot of noise outside the warehouse, and hundreds of people rushed into the room.Chen Jingchou asked Tuoba Yu'er to drill into the secret passage first, and he quickly followed in, and covered the stone slab with his backhand.The two of them hurried back to the way they came from. After running for a long time, they didn't hear any pursuers coming, so they were relieved.Slow down, and then slowly go back and forth. Tuoba Yu'er couldn't help but said happily: "Ah Qiu, when Grand Master Yuwen comes back and finds that the artifact is gone, I guess he must cry but can't cry?" Chen Jingchou was also happy in his heart, and said: "Don't wait When Grand Master Yuwen came back, Emperor Yang already wanted to cry and couldn't cry!" Tuoba Yu'er laughed from ear to ear.The two followed the secret path and returned to the side of the mountain. After getting out of the secret passage, it was already twilight.Dugu Ning Ke was waiting there, and when she saw the two people coming out, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, have you taken all the artifacts back?" Chen Jingchou nodded.Dugu Ning Ke smiled and said: "That's great... If Grand Master Yuwen comes back from Dunhuang, I don't know how he will stamp his feet in anger!" The three got into the car and returned to Dugu Prince's Mansion. Several people came to the pavilion in the garden, and Chen Jingchou took out the three artifacts and put them on the ground in front of the hall.Chen Fu just got up, heard the news, hurried to look at it, his heart was full of excitement, his voice trembled, and said: "Princess Dugu... I really... really don't know how to thank you!" Dugu Ning Ke said: "Teacher, what are you talking about - Mr. Chen and Ms. Tuoba took all the hard work to get it back!" Chen Fu turned around, twitched his white beard, and said, "Jingchou...you performed very well today! I'm very happy to be a teacher!" Chen Jingchou heard his master praise him for the first time in the past ten years, and he felt so sad. I can't help but feel joy, and tears will fall from my eyes. Chen Fu's hands trembled uncontrollably, with an excited expression on his face, he said: "The ancient artifact of our Great Chen Fuguo is only short of Fuxiqin..." Looking at the artifact on the ground, he was overjoyed, couldn't help laughing up to the sky, and said: " There is hope for my great Chen to restore the country! There is hope for the restoration of the country!" Intoxicated, like mad, after a long time, he calmed down a little, and ordered Chen Jingchou to put away the artifact carefully, without making any mistakes, and his face was full of joy , took a step, and went out to relax. Both Chen Jingchou and Tuoba Yu'er were delighted, they came to Yu Xiaoxue's room, and couldn't wait to tell her the good news so that she would be happy too.Walking into the room, Yu Xiaoxue was sitting by the wooden couch in a daze.Tuoba Yu'er stepped forward and said, "Xiaoxue, are you feeling better? We have something to make you happy, and I want to tell you!" Yu Xiaoxue said: "What makes me happy?" 陈靖仇道：“是啊，我和玉儿姊姊到了皇宫宝库，将神农鼎、崆峒印、还有女娲石一齐夺回来了！”本以为于小雪听了，定会大喜过望。 哪知于小雪听了，脸上竟没有半点喜色，只是冷冷地道：“原来是这样，神鼎，神印全被你们夺回来了？”拓跋玉儿道：“是啊！这下我们一口气拥有了鼎印镜石，一夜之间，宇文太师反而居于劣势了！” 于小雪低头不语。陈靖仇微觉诧异，问道：“怎么了，小雪？……你不舒服吗？” 于小雪低头半晌，缓缓抬头，道：“陈哥哥……你们能不能，先将那些神器还给宇文太师？”此言一出，陈靖仇和拓跋玉儿都是一惊。陈靖仇心中一颚，不敢相信方才听到的话，道：“什么？……” 于小雪哀求道：“陈哥哥，求求你……暂时先别和宇文太师作对，只要暂时一阵子就好……求求你！” 拓跋玉儿道：“小雪，你究竟是怎么了……宇文太师是我们的死对头啊！” 于小雪流泪道：“我们……我们都弄错了……我们现在处处妨碍宇文太师，这样会害得他无法完成一件非常重要的事！” 陈靖仇揣度道：“小雪，你是不是刚才做了什么恶梦，把梦中的事和现实混在一起了？” 拓跋玉儿道：“对，小雪，我在仙山岛失明之时，也常这样恍恍惚惚的，老把一些梦中的事，和现实搅在一起！” 于小雪摇摇头，道：“不，不是的……陈哥哥，拓跋姊姊，我说的都是真的！宇文太师他在做一件比陈哥哥复国，或者谁来当皇帝，都还更重要的事！”缓了一缓，又哀求道：“陈哥哥，我求求你，先把上古神器还给他，暂时别再妨碍他，只要一阵子就好，真的求求你！……”陈靖仇和拓跋玉儿听了，都是相顾茫然，不知于小雪到底是怎么回事。 陈靖仇道：“小雪，你要好好休息！前阵子你真是太劳累了！” 拓跋玉儿也道：“小雪，你看你的脸色都这么憔悴了，你真的要安心休息几天！” 陈靖仇道：“那我和玉儿姊姊就不打扰你了！等你身子好后，我们再一起去敦煌找伏羲琴！”说着转身出门而去，拓跋玉儿望了于小雪一眼，也跟着走出。 于小雪还在后面哭喊道：“陈哥哥！”却见陈靖仇和拓跋玉儿已经走远。于小雪跪在床上，流泪道：“我……我该怎么办……我到底该怎么办才好呢？” 翌日清早，陈靖仇方才起身，就听到门外一阵急促的脚步声，向自己客房的方向奔来。陈靖仇连忙开门，见是拓跋玉儿，满脸忧急之色，忙问端的。 拓跋玉儿道：“阿仇，不好了！小雪她不见了！我到处都找不到她！” 陈靖仇一惊，道：“怎么可能……她不是还在生病吗？” 拓跋玉儿道：“我也不清楚，今天早上起来，我就发现她不见了！” 陈靖仇忙穿好鞋子，道：“别担心，我陪你去找！”出门急急辞别陈辅。 陈辅道：“靖仇……小雪姑娘应是身子好了些，所以在院子或附近走走，不需如此大惊小怪！”陈靖仇点头答应，和拓跋玉儿急忙去了。
