Chapter 16 fourth quarter

Five days later, the man in black came again, carrying a long and narrow wooden box, the size of which seemed to fit a qin, but it was definitely not a qin inside, because the man in black seemed to be struggling to hold it, obviously Portion is not light. The two entered the inner room and talked for a long time. When he came out, King Qi sent him to the door and said: "...Please wait for my good news, your master. By the way, are you planning to go back to the island now?" The man in black said: "Yes, my work has been done." King Qi said: "Since everything has been done, why not stay for a few more days. Life on an isolated island, day after day, isn't it boring? Linzi has a prosperous scene, the so-called 'car hub hits, people's shoulders are rubbed together, and the curtains are tied together. Sweating into rain', this scene is not easy to see in other places. I asked someone to take my car to drive you around the city, how about it? You haven’t been exposed to this kind of bustling city life for a long time, right?”

A look of disappointment appeared on the face of the man in black, but it disappeared quickly. He sighed and said, "Forget it, I've seen enough. The ups and downs alternate and never end. When you are in prosperity, you miss it, but in the future you will regret it." , it’s better not to watch it.” King Qi said with a smile: "Since we know that ups and downs are common, why bother to worry about them? Just take advantage of the prosperity to keep more pleasant memories, and when it declines in the future, just don't look at it. It's like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, which should be appreciated at the right time. Do you keep staring at it until it withers? Life is for enjoyment, otherwise what's the point of living forever?"

The man in black seemed to be somewhat moved, and remained silent. King Qi said: "There is a Zhuanxu Temple in the north of Linzi City, which has been around for a long time. I asked someone to repair it a few days ago, and a group of old masters from Qilu even wrote an eloquent sacrificial rite, enumerating the various achievements and virtues from Emperor Zhuanxu to Gaoyang Bakai. , the writing is really good, the words have their origins, and the sentences have allusions. Only after I read it did I know that the Gaoyang clan was so prosperous. How about it, are you interested in taking a look? The inscriptions, murals, and statues are all from Qi State Made by first-class masters, you won’t be disappointed after seeing it.” King Qi seemed to be speaking casually, but his eyes were focused on the face of the man in black.

The man in black was moved, nodded, and said with some emotion: "Thank you for your kindness, I'll go." The gate of the palace opened wide, and King Qi's chariots drove out in a file. The king of Qi is close to the people, so he doesn't patrol the police to clear the road, so as not to disturb the people.Therefore, when the car drove slowly into Linzi City, the pedestrians and merchants did not panic and evade, but were excited, staring curiously at the thin yellow silk curtain hanging from the window of the main car, hoping to be lucky enough to see it. The presence of the world-famous king, but the curtain does not move an inch.

In the palace, King Qi is ready to go.He carefully wrapped a long, narrow wooden box and strapped it to his Windchaser's back. Ji Jiang came over and touched Zhuifeng's neck. King Qi didn't say a word, but was busy with a dignified expression.After binding, shake the wooden box to see if the binding is firm. Ji Jiang said: "Your Majesty, you...you are going to fight a war that you are not sure of winning, are you?" King Qi said: "Yes." Turning around, he looked at Ji Jiang and said, "Can you accompany me?" Ji Jiang and King Qi looked at each other for a moment, and said, "I'll go."

King Qi smiled slightly and said, "Do you trust me?" Ji Jiang lowered his head, looked at his feet, and said, "Because I have no choice, my lord, I can only believe. You don't know how important you are to me. If you can't even trust you, I...I..." A complex look flashed in King Qi's eyes, he reached out to stroke Ji Jiang's hair, held her head up, and said softly: "Ji Jiang, you are equally important to me." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and a guard came over Give a horse to Ji Jiang. Ji Jiang took the reins and said, "My lord, where are we going?"

King Qi stepped up to chase the wind and said, "Zhifu." Linzi city is bustling with people.Blowing the Yu and Drums, Playing the Qin and Building Buildings, Fighting Dogs and Running Dogs, Liubo Cuju... There are all kinds of entertainment.The car drove forward slowly among the crowd, and the man in black looked at everything outside the car through the thin yellow silk curtain, his eyes somewhat melancholy. On the post road, a group of people and horses moved forward like lightning.The sound of the hooves sounded like a rapid drumbeat, and the dust was flying all the way, forming a yellow dragon behind the group.

Ji Jiang said loudly: "Your Majesty, why are you in such a hurry?" King Qi in front said without turning his head: "The plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain will not last long, and he will wake up soon. We must be ahead of him." Ji Jiang was puzzled.King Qi didn't speak any more, just leaned on his horse, whipped his horse faster, and galloped even faster. In the city of Linzi, there was a rumbling sound of cars and noisy people talking.Suddenly, someone shouted: "The lunatic is here, the lunatic is here!" The crowd parted a road, and a crazy man with disheveled hair came over, smiling and singing a song with a strange tune, and a group of children followed him They booed and made peace behind them.But obviously no one understood his lyrics.

The man in black in the car was shocked, and he understood.It was an old song. "The phoenix is ​​the phoenix, what is the decline of virtue! Don't let the past go, and the comer can still be chased..." The lunatic sang, and suddenly rushed to the car of King Qi, jumped in front of the car window, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you are not crazy, you are the one who is crazy. I don't want to be buried with you, so I can only pretend to be crazy to avoid disaster. Your Majesty, how much I miss you from the past. Alas, you were so smart and decisive at that time..." The man in black watched the lunatic dragged away by the attendants outside the curtain, with a hint of deep thought in his expression .

He looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, shook his hands to get rid of the attendants, and continued to sing: "Stop, stop, today's politicians are in danger! Haha..." Laughed and sang, and walked away.All the children followed behind him, clapping their hands and imitating his voice and singing: "Stop it, stop it, the politicians are in danger..." The car drove forward for a while.The man in black in the car suddenly changed his face, jumped up, opened the door, grabbed the skirt of a servant beside the car, and said loudly, "Where is your king? Where did he go?"

Finally arrived at the foot of Zhifu Mountain, on the shore of the sea. A group of people got off their horses, already sweating profusely and exhausted.Ji Jiang was also tired, but more excited.She stood by the sea, opened her arms, facing the sea breeze, and took a deep breath of the familiar salty air, filled with joy.There are a few white clouds floating in the sky, and seabirds are flying and circling on the sea surface, making a few calls from time to time.Ji Jiang said: "Oh, when I lived by the sea, I never thought it was good. After staying in Linzi for a long time, I realized how much I miss it." King Qi was busy on the ground next to him, and said in his mouth, "Show me the movement of the sea breeze." Ji Jiang was stunned, and said: "Look at the movement of the sea breeze? Your Majesty, you..." Looking back, he saw that the long wooden box brought by King Qi had been untied and placed on the ground, and opened.There are three dark long pointed objects lined up in the box, the whole body is shining with a dark light of metal, but it is impossible to tell what kind of metal it is, and there are some strangely shaped accessories beside it, which makes people feel weird no matter how you look at it. King Qi took out a monster with a long pointed head from the box, quickly assembled it on the ground with his hands and feet, and said, "Don't tell me that you have forgotten how to judge the direction of the wind." Ji Jiang said: "Of course not. But this is..." King Qi said: "Then show me! How is the direction and strength of the sea breeze now? Will there be any changes in half an hour?" King Qi said, his hands kept moving. Ji Jiang looked at King Qi suspiciously, looked up at the white clouds in the sky for a while, then looked at the height of the waves, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to go out to sea? I'm afraid the wind today will not be fast even if the sails are full. Yes. The west wind is slightly northerly, the wind is very weak, and there will be no change within three hours." King Qi said: "Very well, you stand over." The dark monster had been set up by King Qi, its tip pointing obliquely at the sky above the sea. Ji Jiang said: "Your Majesty, what is this?" King Qi said: "Yiying Sword." He waved his hand to Ji Jiang, "Stand farther away, that's right, that's it. Ask the attendants to stand there too, and tell them to pay attention to where they come from. If you see Come to Canghaike, stop him, don't let him approach me." Ji Jiang said: "Canghaike? The man in black? Didn't the king arrange for him to hang out in Linzi City? Why did he come here?" King Qi said: "He will come. He is not smart, but he has experienced too much, so he is more vigilant than ordinary people. If my guess is right, he is probably not far from here..." The more Ji Jiang listened, the more puzzled he became.Suddenly, her heart shook—there was a faint sound of horseshoes in the distance!Looking around where the sound came from, she saw a person and a rider galloping from a distance, and she gasped. Although it was far away, she could tell that the rider was dressed in black.Ji Jiang looked back at King Qi in surprise, but King Qi seemed to have never heard of it, and only half-kneeled on the ground to make the final minor adjustments to the "Flying Shadow Sword". Well done!Well done!The sound of the horse's hooves became clearer and closer, and immediately the face of the man in black was visible, and it really was the Cang Hai Ke. King Qi continued to work on it.The man in black rode his horse and galloped, getting closer and closer, and finally he was close enough to see the movements in King Qi's hands. The man in black's expression changed, and he exclaimed, "What are you doing? Stop! Stop!" King Qi didn't lift his head, and said in a deep voice, "Shoot his horse!" The guards bowed their bows and set arrows. The man in black shouted: "Stop! Stop..." There was a sound of "whoosh", and dozens of feathered arrows shot at the horse under him. The horse neighed miserably, and the man stood up, throwing the man in black off.The horse struggled a few times in pain and fell to the ground. Ji Jiang was startled, when he heard a muffled "boom", the ground under his feet trembled, he looked back anxiously, and saw that the swarthy Shadow Shadow Sword had risen into the air, with a white shadow trailing behind it, Roaring and flying to the sea. Ji Jiang and all the guards were dumbfounded.The man in black yelled: "No!" He got up from the ground and rushed towards King Qi. The guards came back to their senses and rushed forward to block it.The man in black desperately tried to break free, and shouted, "Are you crazy! Do you know what you are doing?" The first shadow-moving sword quickly disappeared without a trace. King Qi watched it for a while, and then began to erect the second one. This time, his technique was more proficient and quick. The man in black struggled and shouted: "Stop it, stop it! You lunatic! Don't you want to live?" Ji Jiang saw that the usually indifferent face of the man in black was full of panic and anger, his eyes were cracked, he looked crazy, he looked like a different person in peacetime.Then he sneered and said, "Crazy? You look like a lunatic now!" The man in black turned to her and shouted urgently: "Do you know what your master is doing! He is looking for death! Stop him! Stop him!" Ji Jiang said coldly: "I don't know what the king is doing, but I believe he must be doing the right thing." The man in black was anxious and angry, and said: "No! No! He was wrong! He was wrong! Haven't you seen the power of the Shadow Shadow Sword? It is not something from the human world, it was given to him by God. He used it Come……" The second Shadow Shadow Sword soared into the sky and flew in the same direction with a long white shadow. The man in black yelled in despair: "Ah! No!" His arm was tightly grasped by the guards, and he could only look at Ji Jiang, and shouted anxiously: "Stop your master! Stop him! Stop it!" You just saved him, he doesn’t even know what he’s doing now, he’s crazy! Stop him, save him!” King Qi began to erect the third Shadow Sword. Ji Jiang looked at King Qi, shook his head firmly, and said, "No matter what he does, there must be a reason for him. Just like the puzzling arrangements he made before every battle, it turns out that he finally Always right." The man in black suddenly stopped screaming and struggling, and looked up at the flying shadow sword quietly. The shadow sword flew farther and farther, getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the end of the sea. The seabirds began to circle and fly gracefully over the sea again, while the waves still gently beat against the rocks on the shore. There was nothing unusual about the calm sea, as if nothing had happened. The man in black murmured: "I'm the one looking for death! Do you think no one has thought of dealing with him for so many years? But he is a god! Fighting against him is destined to lead to death, and no one has ever succeeded." King Qi stared at the surface of the sea and said: "Not necessarily, this time I am not using the power of a mortal to deal with him, but using his own power." The sea remains calm. The man in black said: "Stupid! If you can make a spear, you can also make a shield. How can your little trick hurt him?" Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of King Qi's mouth.Where the sea and the sky meet in the distance, a faint black thing rises up. It is too far away at first, and you have to use your eyes and strength to see it.Gradually, the ray of black expanded and diffused, dyeing the sky gray.Everyone followed King Qi's eyes to see this wonderful scene, both surprised and confused.After a while, there came a low and continuous sound like rolling thunder.That voice made Ji Jiang's heart skip a beat.
