Chapter 5 - Chapter 5

Behind the door was another backyard, which looked like the back door of a family. There was a lotus pond in the middle of the garden, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers floated around the pond. Although it was raining, it still had a sense of elegance. Hongjun dragged the man into the corridor. Looking left and right, he thought, "Wow, this place is really beautiful."

This house had two floors, and a girl's voice could be heard from upstairs. Hong Jun was almost exhausted to death. He had chased that Ao Yu for an entire night, and so many things had happened consecutively. He only wanted to find a place to rest first. He immediately sat down and leaned against the corridor, panting.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a young girl in a light yellow dress walked along the corridor with an osmanthus flower in her hand and bumped into Hong Jun.

At this moment, Hongjun was exhausted, sitting on the ground and panting. A man was lying beside him, and there was a carp's head behind him. The fish's mouth was opening and closing.

The girl was speechless.

Hongjun was at a loss, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet her gaze.

The girl almost shouted, but Hongjun quickly made a "shh" gesture, telling her not to shout. He nimbly turned over and bowed to the girl.

After a night of heavy rain, the filth on Hong Jun's face had been washed clean. His skin was fair, and his facial features were handsome to the point of shaking the heavens and moving the earth. With just a glance, the young girl was unable to recover from her shock for a long time.

Hongjun said, "I … I'll let you stay here for a while."

Hongjun's father was the handsome Mahamayuri who dominated the Three Realms. No one dared to say that they were the second best. There was even a case where he caused the heavenly maidens to scatter flowers when he showed up. Five hundred years ago, the demon race fought to be the first to see his face, causing a tragic case of large-scale trampling.

It was a pity that Hongjun lost his father when he was young, so he couldn't grow up with his biological father, Kong Xuan. He was raised by Chong Ming for twelve years, and often behaved atrociously in front of the stream and behind the mountain. He was exposed to the sun during the day, drenched in the rain at night, and smoked from time to time. The wind and rain destroyed a lot of his features, but he inherited his father's eyebrows, soft lips, white teeth, fair skin, and the unique clean and bright aura of a young man. He was still stunning at first sight.

"You … what's wrong with you?" The young girl shifted her gaze to the unconscious general beside Hongjun and exclaimed, "Isn't this General Jinglong?!"

"What's a general?" Hongjun was at a loss.

"What are you doing?" A displeased female voice came from the corridor of the west building. "Is that Sang 'er down there? Who did you bring back this time? "

The girl named Sonny gestured to Hongjun and said, "Everyone is going to sleep. Don't make a sound. Come with me."

Hongjun got up and carried 'General Jinglong' in his arms, stumbling and bumping as he followed the young girl upstairs. The general's two feet shuffled back and forth on the wooden steps, making a noise. Only then did Hongjun remember that he had not taken off his iron boots; hastily he also took off his boots, carried him into the room, and laid him down on the couch. Then he unwrapped the bundle and placed it on the table.

"What should I do now?" Hongjun muttered to himself.

"Is this fish yours?" Sang 'er looked at the carp on the table. Zhao Zilong's gills were still flapping.

Hongjun nodded. The general was wearing a white shirt and pants. Hongjun reached out to touch him and found an iron plate on his waist. On it was written, "Li Jinglong, Long Wu Army of the Tang Dynasty." After reading it, he did not know what it meant. He casually threw it on the table and picked up the sword that had shattered the five-colored divine light and the pendant. He saw that the sword was very simple and heavy. It was pitch-black and was densely engraved with Xiaozhuan characters.

Hongjun could not see what was going on. He undid Li Jinglong's underwear, revealing his strong and bare chest. Li Jinglong was tall and slender. His chest and abdominal muscles were clearly defined. His two eyebrows were as black as ink, his facial features were deep, his nose was high, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

The heart lantern passed down by Randeng … Hongjun recalled the moment when the pendant was shattered. He recalled what Qing Xiong had told him. As long as he crushed the pendant crystal, the heart lantern would naturally enter his body. At that time, only he and Li Jinglong were present. If it was reasonable, the heart lantern either entered Li Jinglong's body or his own.

He did not feel anything, but Li Jinglong had been unconscious for so long. It was not normal. Logically, he should have woken up from the fall … Could it be the heart lantern?

Hongjun did not know what the light was for. He bent down and pressed his ear against Li Jinglong's skin to listen to his heartbeat. When he turned his head, he saw that Sang's face was full of surprise.

"Can you leave us alone for a while?" Hongjun said.

Sang had a strange look on his face. He nodded and said, "Is General Jinglong injured? Should I call a doctor for him? "

"What's a doctor?" Hongjun asked instinctively. "No, no, there's no need."

"Then I'll go get him some water," Sang said and went out the door.

Hongjun immediately grabbed the Carp Demon and said anxiously, "Zhao Zilong! Wake up! "

"A doctor is a doctor. He treats people." The Carp Demon had already woken up. "Where is this? What happened? "

Hongjun was also full of questions. He told them what had happened. The man and the fish looked at each other for a moment. The Carp Demon shouted, "Ahhhh … You're in trouble! You're finished! What are you going to do now?! " "

"I don't know …!" Hongjun went completely crazy.

The Carp Demon asked, "Is his surname Chen?"

"His surname is not Chen!" Hongjun wanted to die. "His surname is Li … Right, what if we change his surname to Chen?" Hongjun suddenly had an idea.

"Are you stupid?" The Carp Demon said, "He's not Chen Zi 'ang's descendant either!"

"It's over, it's over! What should we do? "

"Kill him," the Carp Demon said. "Maybe the light will come out."

"How can we kill him?" Hongjun said. "I'm the one who caused this!"

The Carp Demon said again, "All living things suffer. Although he looks like a talented person, I can see that there's a faint shadow between his eyebrows. His brows are still furrowed. He looks like he's not going to get what he wants. Living is also suffering. Let's end it for him."

Hongjun was speechless.

Hongjun was completely out of ideas. The Carp Demon said again, "The Mind's Lamp got the wrong person. We're in trouble now!"

Hongjun held the sword. The Carp Demon urged again, "You're not human. What's there to be afraid of killing people?"

"My mother is human!" Hongjun said.

"You've even killed a demon." The Carp Demon urged, "Hurry up and do it! Otherwise, what will happen to the Chen family in the future? The Mind's Lamp has to be returned to the Chen family. Tianma … "

The Carp Demon realized that he had spilled the beans and immediately stopped.

"Tianma?" Hongjun asked in surprise. He remembered that when he eavesdropped on the conversation between Chong Ming and Qing Xiong, they also mentioned this sentence.

The Carp Demon quickly said, "Anyway, the Mind's Lamp must be retrieved! Otherwise, everyone will be finished! I'm not scaring you … Where's the flying knife? Did you get it back? "

Hongjun said, "No … It's missing one …"

"Ahhh …" The Carp Demon was going crazy. "I told you not to chase after it, but you didn't listen! See for yourself! This time it's over! The flying knife is gone too! The Mind's Lamp is still … "

Hongjun grabbed the pillow towel, rolled it into a strip, and suddenly stuffed it into the Carp Demon's mouth with great precision. He stopped the endless stream of hindsight.

There was a knock on the door. Sonny came in with a pot.

"Who are you talking to?" Sonny asked when he saw that Li Jinglong was still unconscious on the bed.

"I'm talking to myself," Hongjun quickly answered. "Let us be alone for a while."

Sonny handed Hongjun a towel and smiled at Hongjun. "Oh, okay."

After Sonny left, Hongjun casually wiped Li Jinglong's face. He flipped onto the bed and straddled him. He took a deep breath, turned sideways, and accumulated his spiritual power. He shook off the vibration of the Rainbow Divine Light with one hand and pressed his hand on Li Jinglong's chest.

The Carp Demon's hands grabbed the pillow towel and pulled it out. "Hongjun, don't hesitate!"

Hongjun activated the Rainbow Divine Light. He planned to inject his cultivation into Li Jinglong's meridians. This way, if the power of the Mind's Lamp flowed in his meridians, he would sense it and automatically defend himself. However, the moment he injected his spiritual power, Li Jinglong's body shook and suddenly woke up.

At the same time, there was a commotion outside.

"Shenwu Army, search! Those who are not related to this, please leave! "

Li Jinglong opened his eyes and looked down. He saw Hongjun's hand on his chest. He looked up his arm and met Hongjun's eyes.

Hongjun: "…"

Li Jinglong: "…"

Li Jinglong's face was blank. He then noticed that his upper body was naked except for a pair of trousers. He came back to his senses and shouted, "What are you doing!"

Hongjun quickly said, "You took my Mind's Lamp …"

Li Jinglong shouted and locked Hongjun's wrist on his chest. The two immediately flipped off the bed. Hongjun shouted, "Stop!"

The room was in chaos. Li Jinglong knocked over the water bottle on the table. The Carp Demon quickly jumped off the table. The soldiers outside heard and immediately said, "The room at the end! Hurry! "

The Carp Demon shouted, "Hongjun! Go! Someone else is here! "

Li Jinglong turned around and saw the Carp Demon. He was shocked and shouted, "Monster!"

Hongjun was afraid of causing trouble again. He quickly grabbed his bag and hugged the Carp Demon. He broke the window and jumped out. Only Li Jinglong was left holding his sword. He was shocked and panting. He still didn't know what had happened.

Hongjun jumped out of the window and grabbed the eaves with one hand. He flipped onto the roof and ran to the end of the continuous eaves. He slid down the roof and escaped.

Li Jinglong was still in the room. His armor was long gone. He opened his eyes wide and panted. Just then, an angry shout came from outside the room. "Who's in there? Shenwu Army, search! If you don't open the door … "

Sang Er said, "There are two guests in there … Please don't disturb them …"

When Li Jinglong heard the words "Shenwu Army", he knew that he couldn't let this go easily. He had to run first. Otherwise, he would lose face. Immediately he also jumped out of the window and flipped over. Unfortunately, when Hong Jun ran away, he flipped over, but when Li Jinglong jumped out of the window, he flipped down. Moreover, he was barefoot, so when he stepped on the tiles, he immediately slipped and fell down along the side of the roof.

Li Jinglong held his sword in one hand and had no place to exert force with the other. He kicked his feet randomly. When he saw that the end of the tiles was a noisy street, he realized that something was wrong. But it was too late.

When Hongjun carried him and ran, he hid in the most famous "Pingkang Li" of Chang 'an. The street was full of brothels that were open for business. This building was called "Spring Dawn of Chang' an". It was one of the best brothels in Chang 'an. Outside Spring Dawn of Chang' an was the East Market of Chang 'an.

At this moment, the rain had passed, and the sky was clear. The East Market was open for business, and there was a boiling cauldron of voices. Pedestrians and peddlers heard the commotion and raised their heads to look. They saw Captain Li Jinglong, a hot-blooded man with a half-naked body, holding a sword in his hand. In broad daylight, he jumped out of the Spring Dawn Window in a panic. He then slipped on the roof eaves and crashed into the East Market, causing the horses and mules to cry out and the baskets to fall all over the ground.

"Yo, isn't that General Jinglong?"

"Lieutenant Li? Hahahaha … "

Li Jinglong was dizzy from the fall. Before he could catch his breath, he was surrounded by many people. The Shenwu Army even popped their heads out of Spring Dawn of Chang 'an. Li Jinglong immediately dodged, dragging his sword and hiding in the East Market. The rest of the Shenwu Army soldiers searched everywhere. The pedestrians in the market laughed, and the sour scholars were still talking.

"I have a poem. Please comment. "

"Speak, speak!"

"'Long Wu Army Lieutenant Li Jinglong, farewell Spring Dawn of Chang' an —"

"Jinglong Lieutenant is a good man. Peacefully, he did not sleep long in his dreams. Flying over the eaves and breaking the tiles, he has the courage to leave the brothel with two lines of tears!"

"Skillful hands! Allow this foolish brother to add a few words … "

"Come, come! Brother, come, come! "

"Shooting Tiger is still flying today. He was born with a good skin. A mere Shenwu Army is not afraid, but he forgot the brocade clothes of the Long Wu Army!"

Li Jinglong: "…"

Li Jinglong hid in a water tank behind the East Market. The limerick mocking him sounded in his ears. He slightly raised the wooden cover and saw the Shenwu Army pass through the East Market. Only then did he let out an exhausted sigh.
