On the way here just now, Shen Fengting thought that Chen Buxian might be lying on the bed because he was too weak, and also thought that he might be completely fine and alive and kicking, but the scene in front of him:
Facing the door, four large square tables were placed in the room against the screen wall. The four tables formed a base platform, with another short square table in the middle above it.
The low table was a bit old, and it looked like the one that had been taken to the top of Xilang Peak, and the Red Cutting Knife was placed in the drawer.
At this moment, there was a person sitting cross-legged on the short square table. On the left and right sides of the person, there are three bamboo chairs arranged in a ladder shape.
On each chair stood a large burning red candle.
Then, on the square table low in front of the person, there is a row of fruit refreshments in celadon plates, and a large ocean bowl filled with soil. There are three sticks of incense stuck in the bowl, which are red and smoking.
"Have you pretended to be invincible in the world for too long? Have you fantasized about becoming a Buddha or a god?! Didn't your uncle Wei Lan always say that source energy is science?"
"He can't be the best in the world just like this, right?"
"Wait a minute, is this actually some kind of ancient formation similar to Zhuge Kongming's seven-star formation?" As an older person, Shen Fengting somewhat believed in the last conjecture.
After all, he was also one of the people who knew about the battle when Chen Buxu went to heaven alone. Normally, this old guy should have died back then.
Since he can survive, it is normal for him to have some mysterious and weird secrets.
"Old Chen, Old Chen?" Thinking like this, Shen Fengting was a little more cautious when he opened his mouth, not even daring to let go of his voice.
Perhaps because the voice was too low, the person on the case still sat with his eyes closed, unresponsive.
"You don't want me to bow to you first, do you?" Shen Fengting said as he put his heels together, as if he really wanted to burn three sticks of incense and bow.
"Ahem, I can't move." A dull and helpless voice finally came from the desk.
When Shen Fengting looked up, Chen Buxian had already opened his eyes, but his eyes seemed to avoid him intentionally.
"Then you..." Shen Fengting said in his heart that you can't move, what does it have to do with you engaging in such a pomp, "So, how did you offer yourself up?"
"Also, aren't you choking?" Shen Fengting gestured to the three sticks of incense in the bowl.
"Get out!" The invincible man who could not move was still rude to others. After calmly cursing this sentence, he paused and suddenly became angry, "I didn't do this myself... That old man Xu Xiaohong said, I see this every day. I feel like a vegetable, so boring.”
"So he served it to you as an offering?"
"...Hmm." He said angrily.
"So are you feeling better?"
"roll!"
Amidst the invincible curses, no one got out. Instead, there was a steady sound of footsteps, passing through the yard from the side wall and entering the door.
"Old Shen is here?" Xu Xiaohong had the same kind smile on her face as always, and handed over the three burning incense sticks in her hand and said, "I guess you must have something to ask for when you come here. Come, pay homage to the rightful master first, and then say anything else. "
Do you want to worship this? Shen Fengting hesitated for a moment.
"Don't be like this, Old Shen, don't listen to his nonsense, don't." The invincible person in the case suddenly stopped being crazy and begged weakly.
"Since the invincible Chen Buxiang has asked me to beg, then I... have to do it." Shen Fengting didn't have any other reason. Just because he believed in Xu Xiaohong, he decided to do as he said. After all, doing so itself It's quite fun.
Holding the incense and worshiping it three times seriously, he then put the incense in the bowl. After doing this, Shen Fengting took two steps back, raised his head, frowned and said, "Old Chen, we are not joking anymore. No matter what you do this time, I have to help save my granddaughter. She managed to survive, and she just escaped from the armor..."
Shen Yixiu is still alive and has come out of the armor. The three people present naturally know this, just like they all know that Shen Yixiu is now the inevitable target of Ne and Nicola.
"Second Lieutenant Shen, hasn't she already returned to Xixi Fengrui?" Xu Xiaohong asked from the side.
"Yes, but haven't I heard recently that the Azure Headquarters found an undercover Xuelian, with a high level of rank in the presidium of the council? So, I'm afraid that Xiu Xiu's matter has already been known by Ne... I want Xiu Xiu to Show comes here to take shelter.”
In the last sentence, Shen Fengting thought very clearly in advance. According to the plan, he would succeed in this matter today, but at this moment, he was not so sure.
And while speaking, Shen Fengting looked at someone on the case with a hesitant look.
"Why are you looking at me? Let them come." Chen Buxian said angrily. He was not talking about her, but them. He took a breath and continued: "It just so happens that I want them to come over and protect me."
"..." Shen Fengting finished speaking. Since Chen Buxian said this, it means that his physical condition is indeed as bad as the rumors outside.
Otherwise, this stubborn and conceited old man would never have said such soft words.
"It's useless. I overestimated my capabilities and took action forcefully... It turned out like this." Xu Xiaohong added in a very relaxed manner, but the look in his eyes when he turned around showed that Shen Fengting was not relaxed.
That knife at the South Pole, Chen Buxian should not have taken it forcefully at the lowest point in his life. According to the judgment of Xu Xiaohong and the Azure Council of Elders about the battle situation at that time, Ne plus those hundreds of people had a chance to fight to death the seriously injured Putar. So whether it is from a personal standpoint or from the standpoint of all mankind, the old man should not do that. At least, he shouldn't have decided to take action in such a hurry.
However, if Chen Buxian didn't do that, didn't help directly, but chose to wait and see as the Azure Elders Association expected...those people would all die.
At the scene, Han Qingyu will die, Hua Biru will die, Shen Yixiu will die, Wu Xi will die, He Tangtang will die, Ye Jian will die... All the generals who boarded the ship in Wei Lan will die.
Maybe only Ne has a slight chance of surviving.
Chen Buxu finally chose to take action directly. The Invincible was defeated for the first time in the past forty years. After a single blow, he was chopped straight down from high in the sky by Putar.
However, Putar died, with thousands of wounds all over his body, and no one knew which one was the most critical.
As for those people in the air at that time, most of them survived.
At the same time, Invincible in the World himself became what he is now.
This was the unchangeable outcome of that battle... As for the pros and cons, right and wrong, to this day, no one can make a clear judgment.
because……
"Don't worry, if Ne and that ghost can really snatch people away from the current Xixi Fengrui, then it won't be much better if you let her stay with me."
Chen Buxu's tone of voice was still not good.
However, after hearing this, Shen Fengting immediately became excited, "You mean?"
"Chen Xian and I..." Xu Xiaohong answered helpfully.
"Chen Xian?" Shen Fengting is from Yanjing, and his pronunciation unconsciously ended in "er", which made someone's liver almost explode.
"That's him." Xu Xiaohong raised her finger and pointed at the person surrounded by fireworks, and said, "He said that the current Han Qingyu may not be able to fight Ne head-on. After all, Ne and that thing were also injured in the previous battle, and Han Qingyu is not alone in Xixi Fengrui.”
"Okay! That's good, that's good!" Shen Fengting finally got the answer he wanted, and calmed down. After getting excited, he turned to look at Chen Buxuan again, and said regretfully: "If I had known this earlier, I would have I stopped worshiping just now.”
"Hahahahaha..."
"Get out! Get out of here, everyone."
"Okay, okay, then you..." Shen Fengting originally wanted to keep teasing him, but he stopped mid-sentence, unconsciously changed his tone, and said stiffly: "It's okay even if it's useless. Don’t die.”
…………
When Shen Fengting left, Xu Xiaohong personally sent him outside.
As the only witness to the former commander of the Ninth Army under the Legion, and an old subordinate of Chen Buxu and Xu Xiaohong, Shen Fengting hesitated several times along the way, and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Chief of Staff, what exactly is going on?"
"What? Oh, you said you wanted to surrender him, right?" Xu Xiaohong smiled and said, "That's what you saw. I'm so bored right now, and it's so rare to have a chance to deal with him."
"I don't believe it." Shen Fengting shook his head resolutely. According to his knowledge and understanding of Xu Xiaohong, the chief of staff definitely had deep meaning in doing this.
"By the way, isn't this some ancient formation that can extend one's life?" He came closer and asked cautiously.
"No." Xu Xiaohong said, "But if there is such a formation, regardless of whether it is true or false, I will give it a try."
"Huh?" Shen Fengting suddenly didn't understand.
"I can't help it, Lao Shen." Xu Xiaohong said.
It was just a simple sentence and the tone was ordinary, but after hearing it, Shen Fengting froze on the spot. Because this must be the first time in his life that he heard Xu Xiaohong say that there was nothing he could do. The only chief of staff of the Azure Hua family who had witnessed the legion's strategizing for forty years said that he had encountered something and there was nothing he could do.
This matter is Chen Buxian's life and death.
Even though Old Man Chen was quite angry when he scolded people just now, in fact, his life-and-death test would be over as soon as he relaxed his will or was not firm enough in his thoughts.
"Then the chief of staff is not like...you are different from us, you are a talented and educated man." Even so, Shen Fengting still didn't believe it. This was something Xu Xiaohong would do, believe, and rely on.
"Hahahaha... maybe I'm getting old too. Didn't someone say that the end of science is theology, and the bottom line of methods is superstition." Xu Xiaohong paused and said, "I decided to become superstitious."
There are some ancient traditions called superstitions in this country that have never completely disappeared, especially in remote areas and among the elderly. A few months ago, when the news came out that Chen Buxu was seriously injured and dying, and even his life or death was uncertain, countless memorial tablets to his longevity were erected on this land almost overnight...
Some of those who set up the cards believed in this originally, while others did not.
"I told him about this, and I always reminded him...he has to continue talking about the incense and faith in the world." Xu Xiaohong laughed as she spoke, but after a few laughs, she fell silent unconsciously.
