Between mountains and seas

Chapter 48 Our Life Experience

This conversation didn't last too long. After all, Qiu Yizhu spent all his heart and effort in drawing four blood symbols, and he soon showed signs of fatigue.Just as she finished her injection, the driver sent by the Qiu family picked her up.

Shao Jingxing watched her put on that cassock again, and walked out in a fairy-like manner, and he admired her - what a woman...

It is said that the friendship between men requires carrying guns together. Although Qiu Yizhu is a girl, after fighting side by side, Shao Jingxing didn't hate her so much anymore.Of course, the main reason may be that Huo Qing said that they are not familiar with each other.

"Take a break too." Shao Jingxing closed the door of the ward.It is very quiet here, and there are not even doctors and nurses, probably because they are afraid that they will see something that violates scientific principles and doubt their worldview.

Huo Qing leaned on the head of the bed, shook his head slightly, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Me? I don't feel anything." Shao Jingxing was a little puzzled. He didn't take part in the battle much. He only broke one finger in total. It was bitten by himself, and it was just a little painful.

"That's good." Huo Qing nodded, "But the blood will consume people, even if you don't feel anything, you should pay attention to rest."

Speaking of this, Shao Jingxing still had doubts: "That rhinoceros horn that reaches the sky..." He didn't realize until the matter was over that after only ten minutes of burning, the branch carved on the top of the rhinoceros horn carrying the flames had been silently burned. Half of it was lost, so judging from this, a whole rhinoceros horn with the length of the forearm can't be burned many times.

"Naturally." Huo Qing smiled slightly: "To frighten the many strange beasts, and to burn the scattered power of mountains and seas, it will naturally consume a lot of energy. Fortunately, I have you today."

Shao Jingxing was a little embarrassed by his praise: "It's also luck, Uncle Zhou actually has a collection of real Tongtian rhinoceros horns. Besides, it doesn't have that much effect, and blood will be smeared on it later..."

"There are too many strange beasts coming." Huo Qing explained, "Where the strange beasts gather, the power of mountains and seas is also particularly strong, a rhinoceros horn is naturally hard to resist, but it is weak but not destroyed, which shows that this rhinoceros horn contains a lot of spiritual energy. I really want to thank that Mr. Zhou."

"Yes——" Shao Jingxing was still a little scared, "As soon as I said to save people with this, Uncle Zhou agreed to give it to me. I don't know how to thank him—oh, yes, I have to help him give that to Zhou Shu Find out the person with green liver blood!" Even if he can't find it, Huo Qing will definitely be able to.

Huo Qing listened to him tell Zhou Shu's story, nodded, "I'll go with you then." Such a rhinoceros horn is of immeasurable value to the special affairs department; although it can be appraised by Zhou Qingshan, But also a beloved collectible.The special affairs department can allocate hundreds of thousands of funds to buy it, but this would be a bit of a disappointment to Zhou Qingshan's generosity. It would be more sincere to help him solve his daughter's problem.

"Then your eyes, are they really all right?" Shao Jingxing still felt worried.

"It's okay." Huo Qing comforted him in a gentle voice, "Didn't you say that if conventional treatment doesn't work, there will be Bai Xin."

Speaking of Bai Xin, Shao Jingxing's question just now came up again: "Um... the second group doesn't have a good relationship with us?"

Huo Qing couldn't help smiling because of his "we"—Shao ​​Jingxing kept refusing to join the special affairs department, but he naturally counted himself into the three groups when he spoke—but his smile quickly faded away. Disappeared, and said softly: "It's not that we have a bad relationship with the three groups, it's because of me."

"You? Is that Su Zheng jealous of you?" Shao Jingxing felt unbelievable.In his opinion, Huo Qing was handsome and able to play, responsible and patient, he couldn't find anything bad from head to toe.If someone has a bad relationship with him, it must be that person's fault!

Huo Qing smiled again because of his natural tone: "Don't listen to Xiao Jiu's nonsense, she also heard some news - although Su Zheng is competitive, he is not narrow-minded, and will not get angry because of that kind of thing. It was aimed at me."

What, is Ji Xiaojiu unreliable in gossip?

"Xiao Jiu is young." Huo Qing explained gently.

Shao Jingxing muttered: "Is she about the same age as you?" Could it be one year younger or half a year younger?Huo Qing himself is only in his early twenties.

But since it wasn't Su Zheng's reason, then why?

Huo Qing was silent.Just when Shao Jingxing was anxiously thinking that he probably shouldn't ask this question, he heard him whisper, "My father, Huo Dongchuan, is a tomb robber."

Alas!Shao Jingxing's eyes widened all of a sudden.

Shao Jingxing had seen a lot of tomb robbers through Hu Yuan.However, outsiders generally say that they are "reversed". This title, which became popular because of a novel, is indeed better than "thief", but it can also be seen from this that Huo Qing has a deep hatred for his father. , I didn't even have a euphemism to say, just denounced him as a thief.

After saying this, Huo Qing seemed to let go of some burden.He leaned back a little, even relaxed his sitting posture, and continued: "One year, he got an ancient sword. Fish sausage sword?"

This Shao Jingxing really knew.Because Huo Qing has metal abilities, he was more interested in the swords in the illustrated book and picked them up.Now when Huo Qing asked, he racked his brains to think back: "It is the sword specially used to stab king Liao. It is said that it is said to be an ominous sword? You mean, is that sword a fish intestine?" If The real thing, that's worth a lot of money!

A sarcasm appeared on Huo Qing's face: "He's very lucky, it's the real thing."

These words are full of coldness, and it is very obvious that the words are ironic.Shao Jingxing was too frightened to respond, but Huo Qing paused for a moment, and then said, "Have you read the part about Xue Zhu talking about swords?"

Shao Jingxing seemed to have read it, but because it was all ancient Chinese, he gulped it down when he read it, so naturally he hesitated and couldn't answer it now, like an elementary school student who was asked by the teacher in class: "Just...that, Xue Zhu It is said that this fish intestine sword is chaotic, incest..."

Huo Qing was full of thoughts and was about to be laughed angrily by him: "Nonsense. What Xue Zhu said was 'the sword of injustice is the sword of injustice'."

"Ah yes, it's against the law, it's against the law." Shao Jingxing quickly admitted his mistake, "I remember wrong..."

Because of his mistake, Huo Qing felt a little more relaxed, and continued: "Xue Zhu said, Yuchang is a sword of inversion. Anyone who wears this sword will kill his king, and his son will kill his father. That’s why the fish intestines are unlucky.”

In fact, Shao Jingxing had some doubts when he saw it: "It doesn't make any sense, right? It's specially for the courtiers to kill the monarch, and the son to kill the father? Then what if a woman wears it?"

Huo Qing couldn't help pressing his temple.Of course, his eyes are now covered with gauze, so what he presses is also gauze: "Zi, not only refers to sons, but also refers to children; father, does not only refer to fathers, but also refers to parents. This is just a reference, meaning fish intestines. The sword can evoke evil thoughts in people's hearts, and kill those who should be respected and loved. Therefore, it is the sword of "inverse reason", that is, the meaning of going against ethics."

"Oh—" So it makes sense for him to record it as incest, right?But how can a sword arouse evil thoughts in people's hearts?

Huo Qing said indifferently: "Because it is a mutated metal." He leaned back and said slowly, "Xue Zhu's discussion of the sword is the sword made by Ou Yezi hired by the King of Yue. Xue Zhu said: "I heard When Wang Zhichu made this sword, the mountain of red viburnum was broken and tin came out, the stream of Ruoye was dried up and copper came out, the rain master sprinkled the road, the thunder god made drums, the dragon held the furnace, the emperor of heaven loaded charcoal, and the Tai looked at it'. Cast these five swords The raw materials used are metals eroded and mutated by the power of mountains and seas. Therefore, when casting, there will be thunder and lightning, and the spectacle of clouds gathering and raining. And the people who assisted the casting were affected by it, and the descending of the gods and the dragons were also produced. Surrounding hallucinations."

Shao Jingxing suddenly had an idea and found a scientific explanation: "There are radioactive substances in it!"

Huo Qing curled his lips, but there was no smile: "Maybe. The Special Affairs Department has done measurements on Tai'a and Zhanlu swords, and confirmed that the magnetic field around them has indeed been strengthened abnormally, but what substance caused the change is unknown. It cannot be measured."

Shao Jingxing murmured: "There are really these swords..." He could know the names of these ancient swords from various novels or games, but in real life, these swords had never appeared before, even in the antique shops. Liars will not deceive people with the name of these swords.Everyone tacitly agrees that these things have long since disappeared in the long river of history.

"Tai'a has the function of deterring all spirits, and it is placed on the defense line of Buzhou Mountain." Huo Qing said in a flat tone that it would cause earthquakes in the antique store. In the capital, guard the capital."

Shao Jingxing opened his mouth for a long time before realizing that he didn't come to listen to the story: "Then, what about the fish intestines?"

Huo Qing was silent again, and said after a long time, "The fish intestines are right in front of your eyes."

"What? Where?" Shao Jingxing looked around subconsciously, and then realized that he was too stupid. Huo Qing definitely didn't mean that.But if he wasn't referring to the Yuchangben sword, then...the only one in front of him is Huo Qing.

Suddenly, Shao Jingxing remembered what Ji Xiaojiu had said. She said that Huo Qing had awakened his powers in the womb. Could it be because of - fish intestines?

Huo Qing had no expression on his face, and said calmly: "Huo Dongchuan and two accomplices excavated an ancient tomb together and got the Yuchang Sword. But in the tomb, they clashed and killed each other for the sword. In the end, Huo Dongchuan escaped from the ancient tomb with a sword, and locked the two accomplices in the tomb.

By this time my mother was pregnant with me.Huo Dongchuan is going to sell Yuchangjian for a large sum of money, and then take my mother away.But in the process of finding a buyer, he was influenced by Yuchangjian, and his temper became increasingly violent, and he even beat my mother.Later, when he finally found a buyer and was about to sell the Yuchangjian, the police came. "

The situation at that time was chaotic. Huo Dongchuan crazily hijacked his pregnant wife and threatened the police with her life. Finally, he stabbed his wife in the stomach with fish intestines.

No one knows whether Huo Dongchuan really wanted to kill his wife and the unborn child in her womb, or if he just wanted to stab her to threaten the police. Anyway, the fish intestine sword disappeared in Huo Qing's mother's wound, and the body that was still in the mother's stomach Huo Qing awakened and killed a policeman.

"What, what?" Shao Jingxing couldn't believe it at all, "Don't be kidding! You haven't been born yet, how do you kill someone?"

"Through my mother's contact, he sucked up his abilities." Huo Qing's profile looked like an ice sculpture, and his words were as cold as metal, "Uncle Gu was the one who went to arrest people at that time. Huo Dongchuan, the policeman wanted to go up and pull my mother away..." The scene was chaotic, Huo Qing's mother held onto the policeman tightly, and it was only when everyone subdued Huo Dongchuan that the policeman had lost consciousness. He died of heart failure in the hospital.

"Then how can it be said that you killed it!" Shao Jingxing almost jumped up, "He may have a heart attack!"

"He doesn't have a heart attack, and he has always been healthy." Huo Qing said flatly, "And he has metal abilities. He was just transferred from the criminal police team to the Special Affairs Department—it was called the Special Affairs Office at that time—heart failure. The result of excessive consumption of the body's abilities. Moreover, it wasn't just him who was sucked dry, but also my mother. The hospital had an emergency caesarean section to save me, and her heart stopped beating during the operation."

Shao Jingxing originally wanted to say "Your mother sucked that too", but felt that it was not pleasant to say, so he hesitated.It was because of this hesitation that he heard what Huo Qing said later, and he was speechless.

There was a deathly silence in the house.After a while, Huo Qing said: "The policeman was friends with Su Zheng's father. He was just married and had no children. After his death, his wife remarried, and his parents were taken care of by Su Zheng's father. Godson, offer incense to him during festivals."

Shao Jingxing was stunned for a long time before he found his tongue: "This, you didn't do it on purpose... Besides, if it wasn't for your father..." If it wasn't for Huo Dongchuan suddenly going crazy and stabbing his wife, how could Huo Qing be here? He came into contact with the Yuchang Sword in the womb, so how could he awaken his abilities, let alone kill people.

Huo Qing smiled lightly: "You also said, that's my father." The so-called father's debt is not unreasonable.

"You weren't even born then!" Shao Jingxing was a little annoyed, "If Su Zheng hated you, it would be too unreasonable."

Huo Qing shook his head: "It's not that he hates me." Of course Su Zheng understands this truth, but no matter how he understands the truth, he will inevitably think of Huo Dongchuan when he sees him, and then feel disgusted and disliked.It's fine if we don't see each other all the time, but they are both in the special affairs department and can meet each other from time to time...

Shao Jingxing said in a low voice, "Then why did you enter the special affairs department?" With Huo Qing's skills, he can go to other places.

"Uncle Gu raised me." Huo Qing said simply, "He said I was very talented."

Shao Jingxing thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "Are you trying to make up for it..." No wonder Huo Qing has always been so conscious, no matter what dangers lie ahead, he never flinches.At that time Shao Jingxing admired him so much, but now thinking about it, he felt a little distressed.

Is there really anyone who is not afraid of suffering, tiredness, or death?

Not really.People like leisure and hate work, like life and hate death, these are all instincts, even heroes just go to death willingly, instead of looking for death.It was the same with Huo Qing, he was so young, but Shao Jingxing had discovered during the ten days he lived in the private restaurant that Huo Qing had no entertainment, nothing that young people used to pass the time - such as games, novels, comics, none of them.Huang Yu's dormitory is full of posters, but Huo Qing's dormitory is as clean as a military camp.His daily life seems to be training, studying and working, and nothing else.

Does he really like this life?Like this kind of ascetic life from the bottom of your heart?That's impossible.In the past, Shao Jingxing felt that he was self-disciplined and strict with himself, but now it seems that he is atoning for his sins, atoning for what he did unconsciously and what his father did.

Huo Qing didn't answer.This is actually the default.

He sat there like a silent sculpture, every muscle in his body tensed.

Shao Jingxing didn't know how to comfort Huo Qing.He is used to talking nonsense with his friends, but he doesn't do much to comfort others.After thinking for a while, he said, "Do you know my situation?"

Huo Qing turned his face in his direction: "I know." You can find out about Shao Jingxing's situation as soon as you check.

"You definitely don't know." Shao Jingxing first went to the door of the ward to see if there was anyone there, then turned back and sat next to Huo Qing, "I am my second uncle's illegitimate son."

He actually opened his mouth to say such a private matter.Even though he was as calm as Huo Qing, he couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"Really." Shao Jingxing shrugged, "Look, you don't know, right? My father is infertile. I was born to my mother and my second uncle. I think my father probably doesn't know about it. It's good."

Huo Qing was not good at words, and now he didn't know what to say.The two were silent for a few seconds, and Shao Jingxing asked, "Do you feel better?"

"What?" Huo Qing didn't understand his way of thinking.

Shao Jingxing explained: "Look, my background is not as good as yours. You can still tell about this, but I can't even talk about it. People will think you are miserable and unlucky after hearing about you. But after listening to my story, you will only feel contempt, and it is difficult to sympathize, right?"

Huo Qing suddenly understood that he was comforting himself, he didn't know how to react for a while, and said after a long time: "This is not something you can choose."

"That's what you say—" Shao Jingxing supported the bed with both hands, stretched out his feet and shook, "But I still feel very frustrated. Ever since I found out about this, I have felt a little sick, and I feel that I will never be able to wash myself off. It’s clean, it’s meaningless to do anything, just mess around. Until I met you later, I thought, how meaningful your life is, like a hero——no, it’s a hero! And Xiao Jiu, Huang Yu Ah, Uncle Gu, you are all amazing, I admire you very much."

Huo Qing was silent for a moment, then reached out and touched his hand: "Actually, you have done a lot of things. Today you are a hero."

"I, I'm not, I didn't do anything." Shao Jingxing felt Huo Qing's hand covering the back of his hand, and immediately became a little incoherent, "It's you who are working hard, I, I'm still afraid... "When he ran in with a rhinoceros horn torch, he really felt a little cramped when he saw the dense blackness.

Huo Qing smiled silently, and patted the back of Shao Jingxing's hand lightly: "We are all the same."
