Island.
The other side.
On the silent and desolate mountain, a handsome boy in a white shirt as white as snow and heavy headphones hanging around his neck, silently looked at the golden dragon of national destiny rising into the sky in the distance, his black hair fluttering in the wind.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and turned his head slightly to look behind him.
A tall woman in a lambskin sweater was walking towards him from a distance with a smile on her face and stood beside him.
"Why are you here too?"
"Of course I'm worried that you, Xiao Tangtang, would be bored alone, so I came to keep you company." The woman patted his shoulder vigorously.
Tang Yusheng looked at her helplessly, "Wang Qing, after all, I am your senior and your boss, can you please stop calling me by such a strange title... It's very awkward."
"I think it's good." Wang Qing said confidently. She paused and continued,
"However, I didn't come here just to see you this time... After all, I'm also very curious about what the Lin Qiye mentioned by the Marquis looks like."
Tang Yusheng turned his head and looked at the golden dragon of national destiny rising into the sky in the distance.
"Uncle Li has revealed the fate of the country...will it cause too much trouble?"
"This is normal." Wang Qing said slowly.
"After all, if we don't do this, it will be difficult to explain our existence.
Who would have thought that within the dormant destiny of Daxia, there was still a group of old antiques who should have died long ago?"
Tang Yusheng didn't say anything. He just silently rubbed the bulky headphones around his neck with his hands. After a long time, he sighed...
…
Looking at the golden dragon of national destiny rushing out before them, Lin Qiye and others widened their eyes in shock.
"The destiny of Great Xia?!" Lin Qiye had sensed the existence of national destiny when he was rescuing Anta County in the fog before, but compared with the golden dragon of national destiny that was rising into the sky now, it was like a grain of rice.
He never expected that he would witness the prosperous and majestic destiny of Daxia in this way and in this place!
The golden dragon of national destiny penetrated the ground above everyone's heads and disappeared from sight, but everyone could sense its existence. It was like a burning torch in winter, and even through the thick ceiling of the air-raid shelter, everyone could feel its heat and grandeur.
"Longan..." An Qingyu seemed to have thought of something and quickly unfolded the sea chart in his hand.
"What did you say?" Cao Yuan didn't quite hear.
“This island should be the starting point of Daxia’s dragon vein!
You see, if you connect these dragon veins, isn't the location of this island the dragon's eye hidden in the seabed?"
An Qingyu used his hands to outline the outline of the map of Daxia on the ground, marking the locations of several dragon veins and connecting them, extending them continuously. The island where they were located on the nautical chart was at the confluence of all the dragon veins hidden in the seabed. From a distance, it looked like an eye embedded in the sea.
Cao Yuan and Jiang Er were shocked by the connected dragon pictures, their mouths slightly opened, while Baili Pangpang, who was standing behind the crowd, blinked and said nothing.
The golden dragon of national destiny circled half a circle in the air, and then crashed into the island. Wisps of national destiny faded and disappeared, sinking into the earth, as if they had never appeared.
Lin Qiye came back to his senses, looked at Li Kengqiang who was smiling and silent, and said in confusion:
"This...what exactly is going on?"
Li Kengqiang thought for a moment, "Do you know how many special teams Daxia has?"
"Five." Lin Qiye answered immediately, "Our special team 005 [Nightfall], the destroyed team 004 [Mask], 003 [Phoenix], 002 [Psychic], and... Team 001."
Lin Qiye recalled what Li Kengqiang had just said, and seemed to understand something. He spoke in disbelief,
"So, the [Heroic Spirit] you just mentioned..."
"That's right, we are Daxia's 001 Special Squad, [Heroic Spirits]." Li Kengqiang spoke slowly.
"Heroic spirit..." An Qingyu kept repeating these two words, as if he was thinking.
"The Heroic Spirit Squad is a special squad composed of the spirits of the previous Night's Watch commanders.
And I, Li Kengqiang, am the second commander-in-chief of the Great Xia Night Watch, and a member of the [Heroic Spirit] team. "Li Kengqiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground under his feet, "Our function is to guard the fate of the Great Xia country!"
"Guarding the fate of the country...?"
To Lin Qiye and the others, these four simple words seemed to contain endless power, impacting their minds.
Lin Qiye had heard before that the destiny of Da Xia was guarded by someone, but he did not expect that the ones guarding the destiny of Da Xia were the extremely mysterious special team No. 001, [Heroic Spirits] that had never appeared in the world.
"But didn't you all die in battle?" An Qingyu asked puzzledly, "Why are there still heroic spirits left?"
"A long time ago, someone created a secret method. When a person is on the verge of death, they can refine their bones and blood into a weapon, and then use some special techniques and tools to create a soul vessel to collect the obsession in the soul, which is the so-called 'heroic spirit'." Li Kengqiang's voice was extremely calm.
"But this kind of soul vessel can only keep the 'heroic spirit' alive for ten minutes. The only way to keep the 'heroic spirit' alive is to place the soul vessel in a huge torrent of national destiny and use the power of national destiny to nourish the 'heroic spirit' and keep it immortal.
The fate of a country is wrought by heroes, and heroes are the guardian of the fate of a country.
The two are interdependent, and this is the meaning of the existence of the [Heroic Spirit] team."
After listening to Li Kengqiang's description, Lin Qiye and others stood there in a daze, not coming back to their senses for a long time.
Refining bones and blood into weapons, integrating the body into the weapon?
Although Li Kengqiang sounded very casual about it, Lin Qiye and others could not imagine what price they would have to pay to achieve this.
So, this young man in front of me, who is dressed in the 1980s, is the real Commander Li Kengqiang? !
“Junior Lin Qiye, greetings to Commander Li!” Lin Qiye took a half step back, put away the [Law of the End of the World] under his feet, and bowed solemnly. “I’m really sorry for any offense I caused before without knowing the reason!”
“Hehe, don’t be so serious. Actually, we just want to see what’s so special about the legendary Lin Qiye.” Li Kengqiang patted his shoulder carelessly. “You’re a good kid. I’m optimistic about you.”
[Nightfall] The other members of the team also saluted.
"Commander Li..."
“Hey, don’t call me commander, I’ve been dead for such a long time…Now the Daxia Night Watch has only one commander-in-chief, and that’s Zuo Qing, do you understand?
You guys, just call me Gun Brother."
"Brother Qiang?" Lin Qiye had a strange expression on his face. This way of addressing him sounded awkward.
"It's not the clang of clang, it's the bang bang bang of the gun." Li Kengqiang slightly pulled down his sunglasses and smiled, "In our era, there were not many educated people, and few people could write 'clang clang powerful'. At that time, my brothers in the Huaihai Bund gang just called me Gun Brother. It's simple and domineering... You can call me that too."
