Mohe, the northernmost part of China.

This area covers an area of nearly 20,000 square kilometers, with continuous mountains, ravines and valleys, mountain tops, and open river valleys. Lots of woods, lots of wind and snow. The temperature is below zero degrees Celsius for eight months in a year, and the temperature is close to minus 30 degrees Celsius in winter for nearly a month.

More than two feet of snow squeaks on the dead branches, and the occasional click can be heard in the forest, breaking branches and falling to the ground, startling native wildlife such as hazelnut pheasants or snow harnesses and sables lurking in the snow to feed.

Xu Guan stood on the smooth branch, holding the main trunk next to him with one hand, and after asking what he had just said, he didn't dare to look at Wu Yan. He turned his eyes away, looked into the distance, and saw a brown mink bear in the thick snow chasing a fluttering black chicken, shuttling through the trees, and where he passed, a few fine pieces of snow were raised, and in a short time he was far away.

"Do you believe it?" Wu Yan's tone was unfazed.

"I don't know. Xu Guan held the hand of the main trunk with force, and his fingertips were embedded in the tree, pulling up a piece of rough and cold bark.

The raccoon dog in the back opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Wu Yan waved his hand to stop him. No one was speechless, and for a moment, the whole snow forest fell silent again.

Wu Yan saw Xu Guan's appearance, and said faintly: "I have trained myself to grow into a life Gu, and I have transferred my body three times, and each time I transfer a new body, I can probably support my life for about three hundred years. ”

Xu Guan's hand that held the bark suddenly shattered the bark and held it in the palm of his hand. "You transferred your body three times, and you took the lives of three cardamom women?"

"Even if I don't take my body, they won't survive. ”

One fold is twelve years.

Xu Guan asked, "Why?"

"Everywhere a person is born, there is a numerology. Numerologists have superior lives such as Qinglong Fuxing and Suzaku riding the wind, as well as inferior lives such as five disadvantages and three deficiencies, seven declines and nine defeats. Among the many numerology, there is a numerology called non-folding, and people with this kind of numerology do not live to be twelve years old. ”

"Are you saying that the three people you took the body of are all this kind of unbeatable?"

"Yes. Wu Yan explained, "Before their twelfth birthday, I planted the Immortal Gu in their bodies, and with the power of the Gu, I made them live their twelfth birthdays safely. Helping them live for another 100 days will be my reward for borrowing their bodies. ”

"Is that really the case?" Xu Guan was skeptical, but his resentment was mostly gone.

"You don't believe me?" Wu Yan glanced at him, Xu Guan hurriedly avoided his gaze, and said weakly: "There is no disbelief. ”

The raccoon dog standing on the branch behind couldn't help but speak: "Not only that, but my young lady will also arrange the families of these people very well, secretly help them accumulate money, make them rich, and no longer worry about hunger and cold." ”

"Mouthy!" Wu Yan glared back at Tanuki.

Xu Guan listened to the words of the raccoon dog, nodded, and couldn't help but ask again, "Why do you want to help the Lich Clan do so many bad things?"

"As a member of the Lich Clan, isn't it normal to do things for your own people?" Wu Yan replied as a matter of course, and then showed a hint of impatience: "You asked too much, did you try me as a prisoner?"

"While secretly defending those mortals, he did evil things that caused trouble in Kyushu. Aren't you contradictory?"

Wu Yan glanced at him with the eyes of an immature child four hundred years ago, and stopped talking. Turning his head towards the horizon to the east, a bright white line appeared.

"Why?!" Xu Guan jumped over and landed on the branch where Wu Yan was standing, right next to her.

Wu Yan didn't look at him, and said coldly: "It's not contradictory at all. This kind of question is naïve. ”

Xu Guan didn't know why, he felt extremely angry, and gasped heavily. Turning and jumping off the branch, he plunged into the snow, and he waded through the thigh-thick snow, leaving a small gully behind him.

Wu Yan secretly shook his head and frowned, and turned to look in the direction of the nightfish lair when he came, and he didn't know if the devouring roe had left the customs or if he was able to defeat the leaders of the two inns.

Nightfish Lair.

The cold morning sun shone on the sky above this ancient forest, clearly revealing the traces left by the battle last night—dozens of big trees that were broken by the waist, dense forests with large areas of bare ground, loess piled up like hills, and a conspicuous bottomless ravine in the forest, as if it had been split by an immortal's sword.

Not far from this trace, there was already a wail in the nightfish's lair, and the cold wind blew the towering trees overhead, and broken snow fell in pieces, as if it had snowed again. Snow had fallen on the nightmarls around the devouring corpse, but no one was in the mood to wipe them off.

Carrying his father's body, he walked north of the city. The second uncle Devouring Tiger was by his side, followed by a large group of Yelu people who were also carrying the remains of some of their companions.

According to the tradition of the Yelu tribe, after the death of the clansmen, the body is left in the deep valley of the north.

But.

Yu Yuan carried his father on his back, with tears on his face: "Second uncle." I want to send my father to the underground lair. ”

"Good. The tiger's voice choked, and he held on to his own to keep tears from pouring out of his eyes. "The bones of the Monkey and the Nedan have guarded us in the underground lair for thousands of years. Your father has absorbed the inner dan of the dragon, so let him continue to guard us in the future. ”

"Hmm. Yu Yuan looked at the old ancient buildings on both sides of the street with a hazy vision, and took a deep breath: "Second uncle." After sending my father down, you can stay here to take care of my brother, third uncle, and the clansmen. ”

"What are you going to do?" said Tiger Eater vigilantly.

"I have something to do. Swallowing Abyss's face was gloomy, and his eyes were fiercer than he had ever been.

"Don't go to death. Devouring Tiger stretched out his hand and grabbed Devouring Abyss's shoulder, and his five fingers exerted force, grasping more and more tightly, but Devouring Abyss seemed to have no pain, and he didn't say a word, still carrying his father on his back, walking at the original speed. "Ten years of sharpening the sword, it's not too late to take revenge. You are still young, and it is unknown what level you will reach in the future, and you may not be able to lead us Nightfish to fight against the inn. ”

"Do you believe this?" "The inn is truly invincible, and absolutely no one has the ability to take revenge on the inn. It's just that as a son of man, I should spend my life on avenging my father, and I am willing to use my life to avenge my father, that's all. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, "Originally, for everyone to live a stable life, I could bear it, even if I never dared to step out of this deep mountain and forest and expose it to the eyes of the world." However, I absolutely cannot accept that my father, the patriarch of the Nightfish Clan, was killed on the spot in front of all the clansmen in my lair!"

Devouring Abyss felt a surge of anger welling up in his chest. "Even if they die in battle, at least let them feel the pain, even if it's only a little slight!"

The people went out of the city, and passed through the clearing where the Great Sacred Tree had grown, and came to the edge of the cliff. With grief, he sent the body of his companion down the deep valley.

The tiger devoured everyone away, and specially told everyone not to act rashly, go back separately, and then listen to the arrangement. Later, the two of them took the body of the devouring deer to the cave, and passed through countless forks in the road to the vast underground space where the huge skeleton of the devouring deer was.

He placed his father's body under the skeleton of the dragon. After bowing three times, he turned to leave, but suddenly found that the green mangs behind him flashed leisurely.

The two of them were stunned at the same time, and when they looked back, the body of the devouring deer emitted a faint green glow, which was slowly rising. The light shines brighter and brighter as it rises.

The two of them jumped at the same time, and came to the side of the skeleton, and Yu Yuan looked up at his father who floated into the skeleton, and exclaimed, "Could it be that my father is still saved?"

"Probably not. The tiger devourer's face was solemn, and at the same time he saw that his eldest brother's body was emitting a ghostly light, wisps of red gas also floated outward, as if he was pulled by a magical force, and the red gas floated to the dry bones, attached to the surface of the white bones, and was immediately absorbed by the white bones. "It's absorbing the essence and blood of the big brother!"

"The corpse becomes a drought at the beginning, and then it becomes a revil. He muttered these two sentences from an ancient book. "It's not dead! It's not alive in the first place! As long as it sucks enough essence blood nutrients, it can move again!"

"He has supernatural powers, spits fireworks, and can fight with dragons!"
