Chapter 1 Born out of a cocoon
As soon as she opened her eyes, Mu Mingxue woke up from her night dream again, she was panting for breath, her chest was rising and falling, and after a long time, she finally calmed down.
She stared blankly at the roof, her small body shrunk into a ball, and then she remembered that it had been half a year since she came to this strange place.
Mu Mingxue raised her head and saw that the sky outside the window had begun to whiten, and it was a new day.
Today she woke up the first as usual, and then quietly hugged her knees in the corner. She was crammed into a dark hut with a dozen girls from different places, there were originally about twenty girls, but after half a year, these were all left in the house.
The girls all have one thing in common, that is, they have no father and no mother. As for Mu Mingxue, not only does she have no parents, but she doesn't even know where she came from or who she is, because she has no memory before she came here, and in addition, she was born with silver hair! This is also the reason why the clan elder named him Stygian Snow.
This is the Ruyun Pavilion, the location of the Dongjing clan elders, the largest ethnic group in the Central Plains, and the magic refinery that cultivates generations of dead soldiers.
Since coming to the Ruyun Pavilion, half a year, only two hours in the middle of the night and half an hour of eating can rest every day, and the rest of the time is all purgatory-like training, "Only if you are strong enough, you are qualified to stay here." "This is what Xing Chuan, the master of the Flame Hall who specializes in training dead soldiers in the cabinet, said to them.
And just last night, Mu Mingxue listened to the girls in the house say that tonight will be the last time they will train together, because after today, the strongest one will stay in the Cloud Pavilion.
After the training was over at noon on this day, Mu Mingxue did not rest in the Flame Hall with everyone, but slipped to the front of the Yunlin Hall alone, wanting to take advantage of this half hour to practice the swordsmanship taught by Xing Chuan.
Who knew that Mu Mingxue was halfway through, but was surrounded and stopped by a group of teenage boys.
"You youkai! Why are you here again? The boys pointed at the nine-year-old Mu Mingxue and shouted loudly, from the first day here, such a "chance encounter", Mu Mingxue was used to it.
Mu Mingxue had silver hair, which was particularly dazzling in the sun, and the group of boys saw that Mu Mingxue was silent, so they picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at her.
"Get out of here, you monster!" Mu Mingxue curled up to the side, still silent, letting the stones continue to hit her.
The word "monster" made Mu Mingxue feel that such a scene was familiar, and the few memory fragments left in her mind gave her a headache.
She didn't feel bitter about the purgatory-like training, because she longed to be strong, only endless abuse like every day, she would feel a trace of humiliation, she was neither willing to defend herself, but also powerless to fight back, she secretly prayed: if someone came to help her at this time, it would be willing for her to thank her with her life!
However, until the end, no one came to help her in the end, Mu Mingxue's fists shrunk, her eyes were full of coldness, and finally, she slowly raised her eyes, her eyes stared straight at the eyes of the group of male babies, the group of male babies looked at Mu Mingxue's eyes, and suddenly the hand holding the stone trembled, as if controlled by some force, she didn't dare to take a step forward, and the stones in her hand fell to the ground one by one for some reason.
The boy was startled when he saw this, and shouted as he retreated: "The monster has cast a demon spell!" Come on! After speaking, he shouted and dispersed in a panic.
Mu Mingxue looked at the stones scattered beside her, sat on the stone steps in a daze, and after a while, she came to her senses, what was wrong with herself, she only felt that there was a strange air flow on her body, and the stones fell down like this, she couldn't really think about it, now her arms and back felt pain, and she touched the wound on her forehead that was hit by the stone with her hand, "Hiss-" Mu Mingxue took a breath of cool air, and stopped speaking.
Does her silver hair mean that she is an anomaly? Mu Mingxue grabbed the hair scattered on her shoulders and held it with a lot of strength, as if she wanted to pull out all the hair before she would stop. Her eyes were red, but she never burst into tears. After a while, Mu Mingxue patted the dress on her body, finally stood up and walked back.
On the covered bridge on the water, Mu Mingxue walked in a hurry without raising her eyebrows. Suddenly, she bumped into the person in front of her, and she was defenseless, Mu Mingxue retreated, and was about to fall on her heels, but the person who came grabbed her hand, Mu Mingxue was stunned, and before she could see the person in front of her, she heard a sentence floating above her head, "Are you okay?" ”
Yin Shaohan? The man whose face is as cold as himself? Mu Mingxue looked up, it was really him, I saw Yin Shaohan in a blue shirt, and as soon as he met his gaze, Mu Mingxue hurriedly turned his face and said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”
"I'm asking if you were okay in front of the temple just now, right?" Yin Shaohan's tone was a little choppy, and his voice was soft.
It turned out that he had witnessed Fang Cai's own predicament, but why didn't he help?
"There are some medicines here, if you are injured, you can use them." Yin Shaohan said as he took out a bottle of ointment from his arms and stretched it out to Mu Mingxue's palm.
At this moment, Mu Mingxue's heart turned from doubt to relief, thinking who could take care of anyone in this Cloud Pavilion? What he said and did at the moment was probably the maximum he could do to himself.
"I'm fine." Mu Mingxue brushed past Yin Shaohan in a panic, leaving Yin Shaohan's hand still in place, not knowing whether to put it down or not. He exhaled lightly and was about to leave, but a voice from behind him came from her, "Thank you, Senior Brother Yin." "The sound was so small that if you went a little farther, you wouldn't be able to hear it. But he heard it clearly, heard it clearly, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and finally put the medicine bottle back in his arms.
The autumn wind is sorrowful, the forests are dyed, the gale wind wantonly rolls up a burst of fallen leaves, and the yellowed autumn leaves suddenly scatter in all directions, reflecting the cold and solemn silence of the Nuoda Cloud Pavilion.
In the evening, when the wind rises, the dark pavilions and pavilions are covered with a layer of sunset tones, without the need for ink, it becomes an independent and deep autumn scene.
Different from the loneliness of the autumn scene, the Agni Hall at this time ushered in the most intense and fiery moment of the year.
"Today you must choose an opponent for yourselves and kill her!" Xing Chuan said with a hint of excitement in his voice, looking at the group of girls under the steps.
Next to him, Yin Shaohan in a blue shirt was standing, he seemed to only love clothes of this color, Mu Mingxue looked at Yin Shaohan, and understood something in his heart, he was the strongest among the boys, so he stayed. She was ready to face any final test, but she didn't want to kill someone today.
Mu Mingxue did not choose an opponent for herself, but the opponent found her, Rubing, who was two years older than her. Rubing's fierce eyes seem to say: I am the strongest.
Rubing is the best of these female babies, her skillful swordsmanship is step-by-step, Mu Mingxue is ruthless, and finally stumbles, she is tripped over, Rubing Seeing this, her face was surprised, and a sword stabbed her throat, "Only the strongest are qualified to stay here." Xing Chuan's words sounded in his ears, I don't kill people, people will kill me, Mu Mingxue flashed quickly, rushed behind Rubing, and pierced her abdomen before Rubing reflexively counterattacked. She succeeded. The feeling of killing for the first time was not good, Mu Mingxue's hands clenched the hilt of the sword trembled slightly, and her eyes were moist. Since that's the case, let's come, she wants to survive, she wants to be strong, Mu Mingxue thought to herself.
The fight did not stop, the cloud pavilion was shrouded in heavy blood, the stone steps in front of the hall were full of blood red, the evening sun shone on the stone steps, the overlap of different reds was so beautiful that it was suffocating, but everyone knew what a cruel price behind the suffocating beauty. Mu Mingxue walked up the stone steps step by step, retching for a while, she raised her head, blood filled her fair face, soaked in her silver hair, she dragged her sword and stood alone at the top of the stone steps, behind her was a mess of corpses.
On this day, she and Yin Shaohan became the two strongest dead soldiers in the Cloud Pavilion. Xing Chuan nodded in satisfaction at her and turned to leave.
After that day, Mu Mingxue was no longer trained in the Agni Fire Hall, but was personally taught swordsmanship and martial arts by Bai Yiyi, the elder of the Cloud Pavilion who entered the Cloud Pavilion together with Yin Shaohan. Once, she inadvertently heard the words of the clan elder and Elder Bai outside the hall, "This girl, the girl Mingxue, the moment I saw her, I knew that she was born with extraordinary talents, her life experience was a mystery, and her body exuded a spiritual power, which can be achieved in the future." In any case, I'm glad that she ended up staying in Izumo Pavilion and will be of use to us in the future. ”
"This kind of spiritual power, whether it is a blessing or a curse is unknown, is it afraid that the more she grows bigger, she will gradually be unable to control it" spiritual power? Before Mu Mingxue could hear the latter words, Elder Chengqi walked towards Yunlin Palace, and Mu Mingxue had no choice but to walk away.
Two years later, Mu Mingxue had her own place to live - Wangqiu Tower. She knew that she and Yin Shaohan would be the successors of the four young leaders of the Cloud Pavilion.
Mu Mingxue's dreams often appear on the stone steps covered in blood that day, she can't forget it, and she can't forget it. She originally thought that everyone who came to Ruyun Pavilion would have to experience such suffering, such pain, and such a ruthless fight until she met Ye Wan.
When Cheng Qi brought Ye Wan to Yunlin Palace, Mu Mingxue only felt that it was a child of a rich and noble family, he was so white and clean from head to toe, without a trace of killing, without a trace of hatred, without a trace of anger. "This is Ye Xi's child?" The patriarch sat in the hall, revealing a rare love. Cheng Qi nodded, "Ye Xi and Meng Ruo died in Beikan a few months ago, and they are just such a child. Now that he has entered the Cloud Pavilion, it can be regarded as fulfilling Ye Xi's wish. The clan elder walked down to the hall, stroked Ye Wan's head with his hand, and smiled slightly, "Yes, he is a good seedling for martial arts." From now on, you will stay in the Cloud Pavilion and let your Uncle Bai call you skills, okay? Ye Wan nodded, and then saluted Bai Yiyi: "Let Uncle Bai command!" "Mu Mingxue has never seen a young man who can still look so calm after coming to the Cloud Pavilion, just like a clear stream flowing into the thick ink, diluting the blackness of the ink.
Back at Wangqiu Tower, Mu Mingxue saw the white-clothed young man sitting by the lotus pond in front of his building, reaching into the lotus pond with his hand, and then retracting it. Mu Mingxue thought it was funny, walked behind the young man, and decided to tease him, "Hey, what's your name?" ”
"Ye Wan, my name is Ye Wan." After the young man finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Mu Mingxue and bent his eyes.
"Night? Your name is really funny, your mother must have given birth to you at night, so I didn't want to think about it, so I called you Night, by the way, what's your last name? ”
"Ye. The leaves of the leaves. It's not the night of the night. ”
"Your surname is Ye. Your name is easy to remember, my name is Mu Mingxue, and I am your senior sister. ”
"Senior sister? But I'm obviously older than you, why don't you call me senior brother? ”
"I entered the cabinet earlier than you, so you have to call me senior sister."
"Okay." Ye Wan continued to play with the water in the pond, "Then Senior Sister, why is your hair different from ours, I have never seen hair of this color." ”
"Senior sister, I'm very powerful, so it's different. By the way, my name, do you remember? ”
"I remembered. Styx Snow, your name is Stygian Snow. Ye Wan got up and patted the dust on her body, "I'm leaving, senior sister!" Ye Wan increased the volume of the last two words, with naughty and banter. Since then, Mu Mingxue's life has not only been black and red, but also blue and white.
