Hidden pines hundreds of years ago, endless mountain peaks with distinct seasons, countless creatures live and multiply here.
A little indigo bird flew to this mountain from the far north and was attracted by the beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. But what really made him decide to stay was when he was surprised to find another indigo-chin bird.
Although this kind of bird is common in the human world, it is not the case in the demon world. The indigo-chin bird from afar was separated from its family for some reason before it could remember. This was the first time it saw a bird exactly like itself. They soon became best friends, accompanying each other to forage and play in the mountains, enjoying everything the mountains had to offer.
Until the giant lynx discovered them, it was attracted by their beautiful feathers and thought they would be the most delicious delicacies, so it lurked under the tree where the two indigo chin birds were nesting and decided to wait for the opportunity to kill them.
Finally, the giant lynx came up with a good idea. It hit the big tree with itself, causing a huge vibration that made the bird's nest fall from the branch. Xiaoxiao, who didn't know the situation, went to check under the tree with his companions, because it was a home they had spent a lot of effort to build, and so much effort made it even harder for them to give up.
But the lynx took this opportunity to attack them. It attacked Xiaoxiao first, but its companion who once thought he was a family member abandoned it and ran away for his own life. Although Xiaoxiao can understand that his companion is as timid as himself, he still feels a little resentful. It just doesn't want to die alone, because then it will be no different from the days when it was wandering around.
When it opened its eyes again, the scenery it saw was no different from the past. It was lying under the big tree where it and its companions built a nest together, and its body was lighter than ever. It spread its wings, flew into the air, and circled around the mountains looking for its companions, listening attentively to the cries that might come from their companions. It just wants to hear an explanation from the companion it once trusted and loved most, but it knows that no matter what it says, it will forgive it.
It couldn't remember how long it had been wandering in the mountains, but it never saw its companions again. Not only that, it also found that no other living creature seemed to be able to feel its presence. Even if it flies in front of them, they are indifferent. It couldn't tell the reason, so it could only try again and again, but finally had to give up.
It couldn't feel hunger or fatigue, nor could it feel the temperature in the mountains, but it felt like a huge hole had been dug out of its heart. It could only search blindly in the mountains, but it didn't know what it was looking for.
After it passed by countless animals, a pair of beautiful brown eyes finally focused on it, and it understood that this was what it wanted to find.
Those eyes came from a little red deer. It stared at Xiaoxiao for a long time, and then said with endless sadness in its eyes: "Poor little guy, don't you know that you are already dead?"
"I... am already dead?!" Xiaoxiao repeated the words of Little Red Deer.
It suddenly remembered many things, including fragments of memories from when it was young.
At that time, not long after it and its brothers and sisters were hatched, the nest originally built at the top of the big tree fell to the ground due to strong winds. The parents didn't know how to move them back to the big tree, so they had to surround them. Watching them in the nest, they kept flying up and down looking for a way, but the bobcat appeared at this time.
The parents tried their best to protect them, even sacrificing their own lives, but in the end they were killed by the bobcat along with its brothers and sisters. Only the smallest of the litter survived because the bobcat was frightened by some noise and ran away.
After recalling these things, he was convinced that the little red deer was right and that he was indeed dead. No wonder no matter how hard he tried, others couldn't notice him. But at the same time, questions also appeared. It looked at the little red deer curiously and asked: "You said I was dead, but why can you see me?"
"Not just you, I can see all souls!"
Little Red Deer's tone was so calm and calm. Even though he knew that Xiaoxiao was dead, he was not afraid, which made Xiaoxiao want to rely on it more and more.
"Can I be your companion?" Xiaoxiao asked tentatively.
"Of course! My name is Chu He! What about you?" The little red deer agreed to the small request.
"Xiao Xiao!"
From then on, Little Pee found a place to stay, which was on the antlers of the little red deer. The shapes of the antlers and tree branches were somewhat similar, and its antlers were exclusive to it. The little red deer is different from its previous companions. It always carefully protects Xiaoxiao and never lets it leave its sight.
Because of Chu He's meticulous care, Xiao Xiaohui often forgets the fact that he is dead, and he always treats him as if he is alive. During the day, it takes it for a walk in the forest. At night, it clings to it to keep it warm and helps it find food. It will also pick some beautiful wild flowers for it from time to time.
Time is as quiet as water, flowing between every tree, every clear spring, every animal, and even every stone in Yinsong Mountain. Unknowingly, many years passed. The seal that had been placed on the Origin Sin Blood Pond suddenly loosened. The spread of evil forces began to threaten the entire forest, which also attracted the god Gansu to personally go to Hidden Pine to check the situation.
As soon as he arrived at Hidden Pine, he was attracted by the beautiful scenery in the mountains. What attracted him the most was a young red deer and the ghost of an indigo-chin bird accompanying it. This wonderful pair looked so beautiful. Harmony, and after discovering that the god Qiansu could see him, the little bird fell into his hand naturally.
This was the most beautiful indigo-chin bird he had ever seen, so he couldn't help but feel pity for it, and decided to give it healing and protective powers, making it the god of the Songshan Temple he was about to build. He only used his fingers to tap lightly on the little head, and its body suddenly changed. Not only did it regain its physical form, but it also took on a human form.
The little figure that transformed into a human girl was very petite and cute. She was full of gratitude to the god Qiansu, but when she turned around and saw Chuhe still standing behind her, she pleaded to the god Qiansu again: "Lord Qiansu, I beg you You, the merciful one, also give Chu He strength!"
The god Qiansu felt that the red deer in front of him was full of spiritual energy, so he simply agreed to the small request and transformed Chu He into a tall young man. As a waiter, he has combat capabilities, while as a god, Xiaoxiao can heal the wounds of others with singing, or increase defense capabilities. In this way, they can still live in Songshan Temple for a long time, guarding the temple and accompanying each other at the same time.
The past experience makes Xiaoxiao always worry inexplicably that one day when disaster strikes, Chuhe will abandon her like her past partners, but the facts have proven her wrong time and time again.
I remember that the first time they encountered a strong enemy was when they had just started guarding the temple. The stone monster who had just become a demon got a tribute from nowhere and entered the temple with the help of the tribute. Although Chu He had the power bestowed by the god Qiansu, he lacked experience and was not decisive enough when taking action, so he was soon at a disadvantage.
While Xiaoxiao kept singing to increase his defense, she counted down in her heart that Chuhe would soon leave her. After all, it was just her willfulness to let him become a waiter. She just didn't want to be alone. But now that danger is approaching, how can we guarantee that he will not leave her helpless in order to survive? !
Chu He heard her anxiety from her little singing voice, because she once told him that she had been abandoned by her friends before she died. That is, after hearing what happened to her, he decided to protect her until the end no matter what happened.
"Xiao Xiao, concentrate on singing for me! Don't worry, I won't leave you and run away alone!" He comforted Xiao Xiao while continuing to fight. While comforting her, he was also encouraging himself.
Xiaoxiao became determined by Chuhe's words. She focused her power more into her singing. The blue light formed by her singing surrounded Chuhe and formed a wave on his body. A layer of protective film, and his movements became smoother and more relaxed.
The stone demon was finally defeated and escaped from the Songshan Temple in panic, which also made Xiaoxiao and Chuhe breathe a sigh of relief. Xiaoxiao couldn't help crying while treating Chuhe's wounds. He put his arm around her thin shoulders to stop the trembling from her sobs.
"Don't cry. Look, I haven't left you. Everything is the same as before!"
"It's because you didn't leave me that I feel sad! It's all because I'm too weak and will only become a burden to you. Watching you get hurt trying to protect me turns out to be worse than watching you leave safely. It pains me!”
"Silly boy, similarly, if you let me leave you alone, it will be much more painful than if I fight to the death for you!"
After that, Songshan Temple was attacked several times, but no matter how powerful the enemy was, Chu He fulfilled his duties as a waiter and his promise as a friend, and always protected Xiaoxiao from any harm.
But the arrival of Qingyun forced them to separate. Before his arrival, Songshan Temple had been peaceful for a long time, but even if no enemies appeared, Chu He would still insist on training himself every day, and his abilities would continue to improve.
Moreover, Qingyun and the others did not attack the temple directly, but took advantage of Xiaoxiao's innocence. When she became the god lord, she heard the god Qiansu tell who the god lords of the other three temples were. She thought they had been judged by the gods. The divine masters who had taken over the body suddenly appeared outside the gate of Songshan Temple, and she invited them in without any precautions.
The person who entered the temple with them was Qingyun. After they entered, they found that there were only two people in the temple, Xiaoxiao and Chuhe, so they stopped covering up and started attacking them directly. Chu He was no match for the three divine judges. He wanted to protect Xiaoxiao and retreat from the temple. Just when they were almost able to escape from the temple, Qingyun fired an arrow at Xiaoxiao.
"Let's go!"
Chu He smiled at Xiao Xiao and pushed her away, while he was shot by the arrow. The arrow seemed to be poisonous, and he became drowsy as soon as it blended into his blood, but he still used his last bit of strength to stagger to protect her and continue to escape in the direction of the door.
No matter how much she begged, he still pushed her out of the temple door and temporarily blocked the door with his body to buy her time to escape.
The frightened Xiaoxiao came to the outside of the temple for some reason. She ran forward aimlessly for a long time before she remembered that the injured Chu He was still inside the temple. Unknowingly, she had become like herself. Like his former companions, he abandoned his friends who had no chance of winning and fled for his life alone.
