18. Origin

It was all an illusion just now? He clearly saw himself, and even the scene of his marriage to Yinsha.

Everything was so real, he could touch her face, hold her hand, put his arm around her waist.

He didn't know that this ethereal punishment was to make a person's primordial spirit enter the illusion of the past that he didn't want to recall. The fantasy scene is like the real world, if you are deeply trapped in it and refuse to come out, after a long time, the original spirit will never be able to return to the original body. That's a lonely ghost in the true sense of the word.

Only then did he realize that he was pulled out of the real place by the red sunflower.

"Dugu Chengying, do you remember me?" Hongkui called his name.

Through the illusion just now, he determined that his name was really Xuanyuan and not Dugu Chengying.

"You're the old man's friend, I remember. ”

Hongkui's face still didn't change when she heard it, it really had nothing to do with it, and she couldn't tell it in the future. Since he wants to call it that, let him go. Fortunately, Qianmo also fulfilled his promise in the Xuan country.

"I know your intentions for coming here - but I advise you not to hang yourself from a tree. After a while, I'll try to arrange for you to go out, so that you don't have to get into trouble anymore. ”

Red Aoi really wants to help him escape. Although there has never been a precedent in the Snow Palace, she thought about borrowing the hand of Yu Niang to take a Yu Linwei out of the Snow Palace and then find a reason to say that he would expose the corpse in the wilderness.

Of course, Hongkui didn't expect that Yu Niang had already discovered his identity, and even united her in the next big game of chess.

Yinsha and Xuanyuan are the two most important pieces in this game.

When Xuanyuan Yuan Shen had just returned to his body, Yinsha also woke up from his sleep.

She dreamed of her young big brother, Brother Xuanyuan, who kept screaming in her mouth. But I couldn't see his face clearly, and the portrait of the man was impressive, but I couldn't remember it in my dreams.

The maid heard the sound of her nightmare and hurried to see her.

Silver sand sat in the center of the bed wrapped in a light veil, tears flowing uncontrollably.

She wiped her tears with her hand and watched as a tear slowly fell on her fingertips.

Yinsha was thinking: I should be sad, but I don't feel much in my heart. Is it because there is no love?

She knew that the coming-of-age ceremony was drained by Yu Niang, and she thought that she would not have seven emotions and six desires from that day on, and the things in this dream could make her so heartbroken.

She said to herself: What does it feel like to be sad?

"Palace Master, you're awake, I'll go and prepare bath water for you. Lan Yu looked at her in a trance, thinking that it might be better to sober up in the bath.

Yinsha didn't seem to hear Lan Yu's voice, and still looked at the fingertips with tears running down his fingers.

"Palace Master?" Seeing that she didn't respond, Lan Yu called again.

"Ahh She came back to her senses, and she had been awake for a long time, staring at her fingers for a long time.

"I'm going to get you the bath water ready. Lan Yu repeated it again.

"No need. Yinsha didn't really want to wash, so he refused.

"By the way, did any of the women who left with the people who broke the formation come back?" she remembered that although the edict that the people who broke the formation could pick a girl to leave, in fact, these girls were ordered to go out. If you pretend to follow them home, you should theoretically return to the Snow Palace in a few days with the belongings of the person who broke the formation or carry a certain head.

Counting the day of the break, today is already the seventh day.

"I've heard that a few have come back, and I haven't heard anything about the others. ”

"Oooh. Find out where the rest are as soon as possible, and give them three more days, and if they don't return, send someone to solve them, so that there will be no trouble. "Yinsha doesn't like people who don't follow the rules of the palace, especially women who go back on their word.

The night before the edict was issued, she summoned a large number of women to the hospital.

"You have all practiced in the Snow Palace for many years, and now you have a chance to go outside and have a look. But there is one condition, and you all have to say yes. ”

The sugar-coated cannonball of Silver Sand is extremely delicately set.

Give a piece of honey first, and then a bitter tea.

The women all said yes.

Yinsha went on to say:

"If you are chosen by the one who broke the formation, you will either come back with all the wealth of the family, or you will come to me with his head. There are only two ways to return to the palace alive. Do you understand?"

The women began to dare not respond, they had never killed anyone in the years they had been practicing in the Snow Palace.

The first time you kill, there will be a second and a third......

"If you can't do it, leave now, and I won't hold you accountable if you give up this opportunity. ”

Yinsha saw the hesitation of individual women, and did not force them to do it.

She saw that there were obviously timid people among these women, but she didn't dare to quit directly.

I simply said it again: Finally, ask again if there is anyone who wants to quit.

"The subordinates must live up to their mission and ensure that they complete their tasks. ”

Very neat female voice - only one person did not kneel on the ground.

Yin Sha is looking at the past, that person is Shaoling, but he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, his skin is better than snow, and he is extremely beautiful. She thought that when Hongkui came back four or five years ago, she brought such a female Jiao'e, named Pu Jia.

She has always remembered the people and things related to Hongkui very clearly.

"You're quitting?"

Pu Jia was silent, just lowered her head.

Yinsha walked up to her and realized that the aura around her was not a mortal, like a ghost.

She remembered that there were only three foreign women's names recorded on the roster of the Snow Palace: Huan Qi, Yi Xi, and Hong Kui.

This girl named Pu Jia was not registered, whether it was a poor steward or Yu Niang did it on purpose.

Silver Sand looked at her with cold eyes.

"If you don't open your mouth, you won't have to speak again. ”

Suddenly, the silent Pu Jia took out a sharp dagger from his arms and stabbed it towards Yinsha's heart.

This assassination is too arbitrary.

Yinsha dodged it with one turn, but the palace people on the left were not very lucky.

As soon as Yinsha turned around, a girl of eighteen or nineteen on the left fell in a pool of blood.

When the girl saw the dagger come out, she stopped it without even thinking about it.

She followed Yinsha into the Snow Palace, and the two of them slept together many times, looking at the bright moon in the sky together at night in the Snow Palace, and confiding in each other's old people and old things.

If she hadn't been called together today, she might not have found a ghost that had been lurking for years.

For more than five years, it has not eliminated Pu Jia's hatred for the Snow Palace, but has put Yinsha in danger.

Yinsha's first thought was Hongkui, and when she considered that Hongkui didn't actually have any intentions to harm her, she gave up, so Pu Jia was instructed by someone. And the instigator behind this is the real ghost of the Snow Palace.

Yinsha couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she watched the girl who had been with her for nearly ten years die like this.

In her childhood, this little girl was one of her few companions.

I am willing to listen to her heartfelt and share happiness with her.

She must avenge this revenge.

"Someone. ”

More than a dozen Yu Linwei soon arrived, followed by a person.

"Bury her in Cinnabar Island. ”

They all thought that the palace master was going to dispose of Pujia, but they didn't expect that it was a peaceful residence after the death of the girl who gave up her life.

Cinnabar Island has always been a mound built by the death of the palace master of the Snow Palace.

"Wait. ”

It was followed by Yu Niang.

"Palace Master, this decision seems to be quite inappropriate. ”

"What do you think? Just throw it into the white abyss? Or just dig a grave outside the Xuanming Mountain. ”

She must fight with Yu Niang to the end at this time, and her tone of voice is extraordinarily tough.

She was originally a false name, and she was too lazy to worry about many things. But some people can't get used to it, and they work against her. She said east, those people went west, she said north, those people were not guides.

The old slave thought that although she had the merit of being the Savior, she should be placed where she should go. For example, "

"Are you the palace master or am I the palace master?" Yin Sha interrupted without waiting for her to finish.

Wanting to send the body of her playmate to the cloister of day and night to ask for merit?

The Day and Night Corridor is a place that has been notorious since the Lord of the Netherworld was sealed.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, when the Lord of the Netherworld was the Lord of the Ghosts, the day and night corridor could be called the Penglai Wonderland in the southwest.

The ghostly scenery is blessed with unique nature, and the eight scenic spots are beautiful, and the magnificent picture scroll. The jade bamboo shoots of the Duoshan are lone in the peaks, the jade rabbit is shining in the moon; the smoke and clouds of the Xifeng are dripping with dew, the water is flowing with beads and the curling is pouring jade; the golden lock of the stone gate flies across the sun and the moon, and the ice map of the sea is full of wonderful pen charm; the lotus peak is towering and beautiful, and the waterfall of the stone gorge is shaking the river. The spring grass is full of flowers, the rhododendrons on the ridge are like clouds, and the ten thousand trees are vying for glory, and the autumn leaves of the long gorge are about to burn. Red cliff valley, green peak and cliff. Tianchi Yehai, high gorge Pinghu. Look at Hongqiao lying waves, listen to Liu Langyan. Walking the tightrope at high altitude, crossing the Yemu Gorge, drifting rapids in the strange gorge, chasing the waves with pride. Rare birds gather in the mountains and forests, and exotic beasts infest the valley. Ten miles of sleeping Buddha welcomes the dawn of the moon, and the male pillar of Zhenguan stands tall in the world. Flower Meeting, Centennial Chanting, Lotus Mountain Singing Like a Tide; Race God Meeting, Traveling to the Gods, Eighteen Dragon Gods Gather in the High Temple.

Looking up at the mountain elephant, the mountains are strange and steep, the resort of the treasure of the world, looking down at the water vein, the water is beautiful, and the fairyland of Yuxiu Zhongling. Drive the long wind to participate in the Beidou, and catch the bright moon to chew the glory.

A literati specially wrote about the beautiful scenery of the day and night corridor.

Later, after Drunken Qingfeng took charge of the ghost snake and became a new generation of demons, the fantastic beauty of the day and night corridor disappeared in less than a hundred years. Some people say that he is light and thin, and he is tyrannical; Others say that he betrayed his lord for glory and treacherously.

But no matter what the reason, that kind of scenery is gone, and the beautiful day and night corridor of good days and nights will always stay in the paintings or words of literati and artists.

In the history of the Corridor of Day and Night, there is only one sentence mentioning the Lord of the Netherworld.

Holding the ice and the red sky, the netherworld comes out, and a promise will be made.

Yinsha's impression of the day and night corridor is extremely bad, not because the natural scenery is no longer the same, but because of the drunken breeze. She knew that he didn't know how to be a beloved monarch, but in terms of social aspects, he couldn't explain how to behave. Yinsha was wondering if Drunken Qingfeng was really much older than her.

Many of the old people of the Snow Palace who died before, almost all of them were dedicated to the day and night corridor, for the drunken breeze to absorb the little pure ** yuan on their bodies. In exchange, Drunken Qingfeng only promised the Snow Palace free access to the hidden Qiuyu Tower. When the Snow Palace is really in danger, he often leaves it all behind.

Six years ago, she was only twelve years old, and she was not as tall as a cherry tree.

One day, hail fell from the Snow Palace. At first, Yu Niang thought that Yinsha was casting a spell to summon rain, and then saw hundreds of people outside the Snow Palace. Only then did I know that I had accidentally offended a master of the underworld.

The underworld is under the jurisdiction of the Mantuo Divine Domain, regardless of day.

The reincarnation of mortals, gods, and demons all need to go through the underworld, but the reincarnation paths of the three are completely different. For example, a mortal will still be a physical mortal if he is reincarnated. Unlike immortals, even if they are reincarnated from the Heavenly Evil Wheel of the Ancient Soul Purification Magic Weapon, they are still an immortal fetus, but they do not have any memories of the past life. But for demons, the underworld is at most just a soul. Their bodies were all dissipated at that time.

Speaking of offending the underworld, we have to mention the extremely unhappy red sunflower of Yinsha. Yinsha remembered that when Hongkui left the Snow Palace, she quarreled with Yu Niang for five days and five nights, and Yu Niang couldn't help it, so she went to find a lover. This is also the only time she has seen the two of them quarrel, one is talking about not marrying, and the other keeps saying that she can't marry. In the end, Hongkui gambled on the heart of the man she once regarded as her life. Before ending that absurdity, she did not hesitate to risk her death to steal the antidote to the underworld and smile lightly. It was this act of theft that Yu Niang handed over 90% of the power to Yinsha. Yinsha relied on his clever tongue, and the leader of the underworld that day didn't go into it much, and he drank wine with Yinsha and chatted happily.

Yu Niang doesn't understand very well, why the leader of the underworld is obedient to a little girl. Even if the people of the Mantuo Divine Domain sneak in without a hand, they will be punished with ninety-nine eighty-one lashes, not to mention the outside world to steal the antidote.

Once the power is transferred, there is no such thing as being transferred back to power.

This time, Yinsha asked such a question, reminding her that there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, and she should not transgress her identity.

Yu Niang said humbly: Naturally, you are the palace master.

Then she will be buried on Cinnabar Island. Whoever has an opinion may be buried there together. ”

Yinsha decisively gave the order, and did not wait for Yu Niang to continue to express different opinions.

Yu Niang can't stop it, as long as she wants to do something, she won't look back even if she hits the south wall.

After the rest of the women left the courtyard, Yu Niang carefully observed that there was no stalking around.

"The palace master is slow. Jade Niang stopped the silver sand who was about to leave.

She wants to win back half of the power that belongs to her through a competition.

Yinsha thought to himself, just now you also agreed that I would bury her in Cinnabar Island, what are you going to do if you leave me alone.

"The old slave is not talented, and he wants to try it with the palace master. If you win, I hope to return my jurisdiction. ”

Indeed, this precedent for the return of power in the Snow Palace was created by the second palace master, Juan Wu.

At that time, the financial power of the Snow Palace was in the hands of Yu Niang, and Juan Wu had to ask her first every time she spent money. After a lot of times, I felt tired of it, so I simply fought with Yu Niang, which gave the palace master the right to this wealth.

Yu Niang's challenge, Yinsha had to take it.

A few days ago, the treatment of Xuanyuan consumed a lot of her essence, and if she really started fighting, Yinsha would not have a 100% chance of winning.

After all, she has never really fought against Yu Niang, and it was an accident to hear that she was defeated by Juan Wu. At Yinsha's age, it seems that it is not a simple matter to easily defeat Yu Niang.

Yinsha thought of the Xuanbing Sword in his mind.

Since ancient times, the Xuanbing Sword has recognized the master, if she uses blood to inspire the sword spirit, then there is no doubt that she will win.

Yinsha had forgotten the consequences of awakening the sword spirit with blood, and there was only one word in her mind, "Win".

"Good. ”

A sinister smile crossed her lips.

There is a sword spirit to help her fight, and she can slap Jade Niang in the face without much effort, why not.

Yu Niang's more than 10,000 years of cultivation is nothing compared to the Xuanbing Sword.

Before two teas worked, Yu Niang was defeated.

The Xuan Bing Sword grazed her throat, cutting off a strand of green silk fluttering in the wind.

Yinsha held the dazzling ancient sword, and stood fluttering under the willow tree in his clothes.

The wind was blowing gently.

Yu Niang wondered if she could recover in such a short time after spending her cultivation to save people, the Snow Dragon Clan was really the supreme vein of the gods. No wonder it was ...... back then

"It's the old slave who thinks about it too much, and thanks to the palace master for not killing him. ”

"Slow. You also go to the Ethereal Xuan to receive the punishment, and the crime of exceeding the rules shall not go unpunished. Yinsha said softly.

Yu Niang was stunned, this little palace master has matured a lot.

The style of doing things after the coming-of-age ceremony is very different from the past, and more attention is paid to the distinction of class and the importance of the etiquette system.

She saluted and quickly disappeared from sight.

Yinsha held the Xuanbing Sword back to the flying building, and as soon as the door closed, a large mouthful of blood gradually fell on the oncoming shoes.

Yinsha felt so tired, even though she could hear Lan Yu calling out to her.

She fell into Lan Yu's arms, and the sword she held fell to the ground with a clatter.

Unable to say a word, he pointed to the bed, meaning that Lan Yu was going to help him to lie down and rest.

Lan Yu did so, changed her coat for her, wiped the blood on the ground, and immediately went to look for Uncle Jiang again.

Every time Yinsha has an accident or is injured, Jiang Bo will more or less foresee it.

Jiang Bo passed by the Ethereal Xuan on the way to Feilou, and saw the jade lady who came out of it, and guessed in his heart that the two of them must have fought today.

"Why do you have to get along with her? He saw the pale silver sand on the bed, and he was full of distress.

She was very bitter many, many years ago, but this time she didn't have the trouble of love, but her family kept fighting.

Yinsha was lying on the bed and vaguely heard that Jiang Bo was counting down, she shouldn't have an argument with Yu Niang, she wanted to open her mouth to explain the reason for the matter, but she really didn't have the energy to get up.

I only used blood to awaken the Xuanbing Sword Spirit, why did I feel like a hundredfold pain of backlash all of a sudden. Yinsha couldn't figure it out for a long time: besides, it recognizes me as its master, and in the end I have to sacrifice myself.

She thought of sacrifice at that time, and thought it was just nonsense.

In the whole world, there are not a few people who sacrifice swords. But this ancient sword spirit, how can she, a young snow dragon, say that the sword is sacrificed, and it is not ridiculous and generous to spread it. Cangshan Snow Dragon is so rare, she has to protect herself.

Demon Venerable and Divine Venerable, it has been more than 50,000 years since they searched all over the world to find the blood dragon of Cangshan.
