Snow, night, moonlight.
The two sat side by side on the cleared space, Wenxuan leaned gently on Jian Yi, and everything in front of them made one feel at ease.
After an unknown amount of time, Wen Xuan sighed, "It's late, you should rest."
"Yeah." Jian Yi replied, but did not move.
Because Wenxuan was still leaning on him. He said before that he would lend his shoulder to Wenxuan, and Wenxuan kept leaning on it. It's an addictive feeling. Wenxuan had never discovered that having someone he could rely on beside him was such a satisfying thing, as if it could fill the void in his heart.
But he couldn't keep relying on it all his life. It's time to clean up those uncontrollable frailties.
After a moment of silence, Wen Xuan wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Jian Jian.
"I've rested during the day."
"That's not enough."
Jian Yi smiled and turned to look at him, "Then let's go back together."
Wen Xuan was silent. Although he knew that this was the right thing to do, Wen Xuan was still a little bit resistant to returning to that town at this time.
At this moment, his forehead suddenly froze.
Wenxuan looked up, and it turned out that Jian Yi had pulled out a round jade bead from nowhere, and it was touching his forehead.
"What is this?" Wen Xuan asked.
Jian Yi paused for a moment, and then answered two words, "In the past."
Wen Xuan's pupils trembled slightly.
"I have tried to tell you some things, but... there seems to be some kind of limitation." Simple spoke slowly, always considering the words, "At least those things that are related to the future, I don't seem to be able to say at all."
"The so-called secret can't be revealed," Wen Xuan said, "It's a matter of course."
"Even if it is in the past, I don't seem to be able to say it directly." Jian Yi frowned, looking a little annoyed. Leaking the past affects the future, which seems like a natural limitation. But for simplicity, these restrictions are simply vexatious, which is really frustrating.
After saying that, Jian Jian suddenly smiled again, "Then I thought of a way."
Wen Xuan looked at him.
"I borrowed the power of that thing to pull out a part of the past and store it in this." Jian Jian took the jade bead from Wenxuan's forehead and placed it in front of him.
"That thing?"
Jian Yi took out the Yuanyu magic weapon and shook it, then asked him, "What happened fifty years ago, do you still want to know now?"
Wen Xuan'an looked at the jade bead quietly for a while, looking a little hesitant. After all, the past was really unbearable for him to look back on.
After hesitating, Wen Xuan nodded.
Although it is unbearable to look back, he still has a lot to know.
At the moment when he nodded, the jade beads in Jian Jian's hands trembled, shattered suddenly, and turned into powder. But at the moment when it turned into powder, a mysterious aura rose from it, and with a simple aura, penetrated into Wenxuan's forehead.
Wen Xuan only felt a dazzling white light blooming, his eyes couldn't help blinking, and the scene in front of him changed.
He saw a young girl doing laundry by the river. This is his mother. The facial features are exactly the same as those seen before, only a little younger.
Although she was working hard, when she nodded in response to the greeting from the person beside her, the corner of her mouth was smiling. After a while, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, her wet soft hair was stuck to her temples, and the water droplets slid down her cheeks, looking so green and beautiful.
Wenxuan felt as if he had turned into an old tree by the roadside, watching all this quietly.
Until disaster came, the town turned into purgatory on earth overnight. Unbearable to see, unspeakable.
In the snow, Wen Xuan's brows furrowed suddenly, his body trembled slightly, and cold sweat oozes from his palms. Yi Jian held his hand tightly, guessing where he had seen, and comforting him silently.
After an unknown amount of time, Wen Xuan finally relaxed again.
He finally saw the two figures, and fell into this town with the sword light.
Chu Lian and Ye Shengge.
The two worked together to slay the demons and eliminate the demons, experienced a life-and-death battle, and rescued the entire town from the mouth of the demon that day, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"You are hurt."
"Small injury, it's okay." Ye Shengge used magic to heal the trauma, stabilized the chaotic aura, smiled and looked at Chu Lian who looked worried, "In contrast, let's hurry up and send these girls back. ."
There is still a living mouth in the bloody and terrifying lair of Tian Yao, which is something neither Chu Lian nor Ye Shengge thought of. It's just that those girls, although they survived, all have empty eyes, obviously they have suffered great damage, and some of them are even unconscious. Ye Shengge is kind-hearted, looking at their appearance, he couldn't help sighing.
Among these girls, one is different.
Although her eyes were also swollen from crying, the eyes in her eyes were very clear, with an obvious desire to survive, and an indescribable firmness. Her behavior is also completely different. When everyone was desperately running to the town, she was the only one who secretly turned around and went back to the lair, lying on the bloody corpses that ordinary people didn't even look at, trying to find something from it. The difference simply comes from the fact that she is a mother.
Chu Lian and Ye Shengge noticed her strangeness, restrained her, and then dug up the pile of corpses.
After just digging a little, they found a faint demonic aura. They were stunned when a baby was finally dug out of it.
No, to be more precise, it was a cub. Because the demonic energy is still very weak, the cub can still see the appearance of a human baby in general, but it has more ears, a tail, and a little sharp horn on the forehead.
"Evil seed." Chu Lian saw the identity of the cub at a glance, spit out two words, and immediately wanted to do it.
Ye Shengge pushed him and pointed to the side.
The woman who had just been tied to the side by their spiritual energy had already burst into tears, but because she couldn't speak, she could only make a whimper. Ye Shengge raised her hand and took back some of the spiritual energy that bound her. The woman knelt on the ground with a thud, and immediately hit the ground with her forehead. In a flash, she saw that she had kowtowed several times, and her forehead was bleeding.
"It's her child." Ye Shengge sighed.
"Do you want to sympathize with anything?" Chu Lian turned his eyes back to Ye Shengge, "This is a demon. It is only natural to kill demons and eliminate demons."
"We Xiaotongjie have different rules from those of you outsiders." Ye Shengge laughed with his hands behind his back, "In our dictionary, there is no such sentence at all."
Chu Lian was speechless.
"Since half of the human blood has been shed, what if he is left alive?" Ye Shengge said again.
Chu Lian has always had no way to take him, and soon gave in, just shook her head and sighed, her face full of helplessness.
All the spiritual energy that the dumb girl suffered was withdrawn. She ran to the child in three steps and took two steps, took the cub into her arms, and bowed to the two of them, wishing to express her gratitude.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank him." Ye Shengge shook his head and said, "We just didn't kill him with our own hands. With all due respect, if he looks like this, even if we let him go today, countless people will kill him in the future. If you really want to raise him, you will suffer thousands of times the suffering of ordinary people."
How can a dumb girl not understand this truth? She immediately looked disappointed. But as a mother, no matter whether there is hope in front of her, it is impossible for her to give up her child.
Ye Shengge shook his head again, and planned to go home with Chu Lian.
If this encounter ended just like this, there would not be Wenxuan's pain and hesitation at this time, nor would there be Wenxuan's joys, sorrows and sorrows for the next fifty years or so. After all, Ye Shengge's previous reminder was no exaggeration. A newly born half-demon son, even if he was not killed at this time, would definitely not live for long.
But at this moment, Ye Shengge suddenly thought about it, turned around and glanced at the cub in the mute girl's arms.
"Wait a minute." Just such a glance seemed to touch a certain nerve in his heart. Ye Shengge immediately went back and looked at the child carefully and carefully.
"This..." He didn't know what he found, and his eyes lit up, and he snatched the child from the dumb girl's hands and held it in front of his eyes, the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became, "This is... Is this... God... "
"What happened to you?" Chu Lian reluctantly followed back.
"Excellent foundation, excellent talent!" Ye Shengge said excitedly, "The genius of the sky, the genius of the sky!"
Heavenly Wizards? This little monster? The expression on Chu Lian's face could not help but twitch.
"Look at it if you don't believe me." Ye Shengge said and handed over a fleshy arm.
To be honest, if you don't look at the ears and tail, it's still quite human. Chu Lian sobbed at the corner of her mouth, raised her two fingers with disgust on her face, pinched the fleshy arm lightly, and swept the spiritual energy into it to investigate. I just explored a circle, and suddenly a strange expression appeared.
It may not be possible to find out for another time, but the root of the extremely water, in the undisguised baby, can be known at a glance. But since it is the seed left by the descendant of the Heavenly Demon, the root of extreme water seems to be only a matter of course.
"How?" Ye Shengge asked excitedly.
"What's wrong?" Chu Lian retracted the two fingers and wiped the hem of his clothes, "Does this little demon have anything to do with you? What are you doing so excited?"
"I mean," Ye Shengge said, "I still need a good disciple."
If Chu Lian's expression just now was just twitching and helpless, at this moment, Chu Lian's whole body is like being struck by lightning, "What did you say? Say it again?"
"What? Didn't I tell you?" Ye Shengge laughed so hard that he couldn't open his eyes, "We Xiaotongjie people can't easily leave the mountain. Once we leave the mountain, our only task is to find a good disciple to bring back. Oh, I really have nowhere to go after stepping through the iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. After so many years, I can finally go back to make business."
"I said it, of course you said it, but he... he..." Chu Lian pointed at the cub, "he" for a while, then pointed his trembling fingertips at Ye Shengge, "you" for a long time, and finally managed to hold back Three words, "Are you crazy?"
Ye Shengge just smiled and did not explain.
The private matter of accepting disciples does not need to be explained to anyone. This is a kind of fate, when you hit it, you hit it, and there is nothing to explain it at all.
He just cautiously asked the dumb girl for advice.
How can a dumb girl disagree? He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed again.
"But I don't want to close it now. I still have some preparations to do. It will probably take two years. In the past two years, this child... " Ye Shengge said, thinking for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled again. Grabbing the child's two arms, he closed his eyes and dived into the divine mind.
Like a magic trick, the fluffy tail and ears of the baby gradually disappeared. Even the small sharp corners on the forehead, although very difficult to deal with, slowly disappeared after Ye Shengge made great efforts.
Ye Shengge opened his eyes, his breath became weaker, "This should be fine."
He looked at the little cub who was no different from a mortal infant, and couldn't help laughing complacently, "What a beautiful child."
Chu Lian has been watching all this in silence, and now she couldn't help but say, "You are injured."
Ye Shengge looked over in surprise.
"You were already injured." Chu Lian frowned, very dissatisfied.
"It's all said to be a minor injury." Ye Shengge smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It's okay."
