It snowed today, and it hadn't snowed on the shore of the sea for many years.

The man sat on the edge of the piano table, plucking the strings of his fingertips, and before the song had passed, he had gotten up and walked to the edge of the cliff.

Thousands of mountains, thousands of seas, I don't know how much time has passed, the illusion in the river map encompasses the universe, he is here to look at the mountains into the ocean, the sea into wood, between the life and change of all things, he feels like he has lived for hundreds of millions of years, but it seems that only a moment has passed.

"Wu Luan...... Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded on the edge of the sea of vain: "Wu Luan, can you hear me?"

This voice? It sounds like her, it can't be......! Is it also an illusion in the river map?

Suddenly, the water in front of him condensed into a column of water, and a moment later the column of water turned out to be the appearance of a young woman, but the water ripples surged, and the woman's face could not be seen clearly.

"Wu Luan, don't you recognize my voice anymore?"

Hearing this, the man stepped forward, his eyes full of surprise. He looked at the figure in a daze, and only after a moment did he reach out and sink his fingers into the thin stream of water, as if caressing the woman's cold skin, and swept every inch of her danger.

"Chitaki ......" the man read the name lightly, and even his voice that had been like ice for many years became emotional, "Are you, Chitaki?"

"I am. ”

"Chitaki, it's been a long time since I've heard your voice, it's been a few years...... Or a few hundred years?"

"Wuluan, it's been three thousand years. ”

Three thousand years! The man's body was shocked, it turned out that so much time had passed, he looked down at his hands, five fingers, and those ice blue strings appeared between his fingers.

For millions of years, in addition to the mountains and rivers in the great array, he was accompanied only by this bone-piercing long qin called 'Phoenix Annihilation'. This was given to him by the Taiyi God when the Eye of Qinhe Luo was first formed, and now the person who plays the piano is still there, but the sound of the piano is already different from that year.

"Wu Luan, I said that I would always be by your side, walk with you against the wind, and go to the nether world to see the real mountains and rivers in the world. That's why I've been waiting in the Nightmare Pool for three thousand years. ”

"Chitoki?" The man's heart was blazing, and he walked against the wind? Seeing the real mountains and rivers in the world? This was just a joke he had back then, and he didn't expect Chitaki to still remember it, "The mountains and rivers are intimate, but unfortunately, those are just my delusions after all." ”

"No! that's not a delusion. The woman's voice was a little excited under the fluctuation of the water ripples, "Now that I finally have a chance to fulfill my promise, I will come to rescue you, and I will definitely let you escape from this cage." ”

"Cage, you mean this sea of vain?"

It turns out that for himself, this Eye of Heluo is a cage?

Under the splash of water, the woman wanted to raise her hand to touch the person in front of her, but as soon as her right arm moved, the water column dispersed, leaving a circle of water in the air.

"Wu Luan...... Wu Luan!" The woman stretched out her hand, but only caught a trace of emptiness, her eyes were lost in her eyes as she looked at the huge nightmare pool, and the next moment she had fallen into the pool.

"Chitaki. Calling her name on the side was a young man in a witch robe, with long hair scattered slightly, and a blood-stained fire seal on his forehead, speaking slowly and softly, but with an irresistible majesty: "You now have the brand of the primordial god, and you are no longer the witch spirit trapped in the nightmare pool. Therefore, even with my help, it will be difficult for you, who are no longer spirits, to reach the edge of the vain sea. ”

"I know. ”

"Moreover, Wu Luan is the sealing god of the Eye of Heluo, and you and him should not have anything to do with him. ”

"Really, who should I be involved in, you, or the patriarch?"

"Chitaki ......"

"Do you know? For hundreds of thousands of years, when I was devoured and tortured by the dead witch spirits in the Nightmare Pool, I could only hear the voice of Wu Luan, who kept me alive and made me the more Sentaki I am today. The woman raised her hand to look at the fierce aura attached to her body, which could no longer hurt her who had obtained the demon god's body.

"I was imprisoned in the Nightmare Pond for 170,000 years, where were you then? Where are the patriarchs and elders? Cangming, as you said, I shouldn't have anything to do with Wuluan, but if it weren't for his voice, I'm afraid I would have been like the resentful spirits in the Nightmare Pool, and I would have turned into a ghost who helped you refine arrows. ”

"These, for the sake of the Wu Clan, we are all forced to helpless. ”

"Forced to be helpless?" ......Yue Qianlong sneered: "What a high-sounding excuse, whether it is for one person or a clan, you and the void are just for your own glory, you don't want the Wu clan to fall into your own hands, and you don't want to pick this eternal infamy." And I have spent 170,000 years alone in the Nightmare Pool, and the rise and fall of the Wu Clan's victory or defeat is no longer meaningful to me. ”

"The Wu clan doesn't matter to you, but what about the demon clan Yu Wuluan? He is the god of the sealed realm promised by Taiyi, will he abandon the clan and abandon the Heluo Great Array? Qianlong, you think too simply. ”

"I think he would, I know what he thinks. He has been alone on the edge of the sea for millions of years, and now that I have regained my freedom, how can I let Wuluan suffer there alone?"

"Chitaki!"

"How can you feel this between me and him?"

Cangming lowered his head when he heard this, he couldn't bear to refine arrows with his soul at the beginning, and how many clansmen lost the opportunity to reincarnate and fell into the nightmare pool forever. What everyone didn't expect was that there was still an arrow soul attached to the Nirvana Arrow that they had refined with thousands of witch souls, and only this arrow soul could be combined with the ancestral witch power of the Nirvana Arrow, so as to break through the Heluo Array and let everyone cross the Buzhou Mountain and set foot on the territory of the demon clan.

However, as an arrow soul, Yue Qianlong is a spirit and a ghost, even if she can manipulate the magic power in the arrow, it is impossible for her to really descend to the mortal world. In order to keep this only spirit that could control the power of the ancestral witch, the ancestors of the Wu clan had to throw her into the nightmare pool along with the Nirvana arrow, so as to find time in the Three Realms to find a demon god primordial body that could merge with the spirit body of Yue Qianlong and have the brand of the original god.

Unexpectedly, this search turned out to be 170,000 years.

"I must go and rescue him, I will definitely destroy the Eye of Heluo and the cage that trapped him!"

"Chitaki, it's because of this that you agreed to the patriarch and a few elders to go to Buzhou Mountain with me?"

"That's right, isn't it the Heluo Formation that you call the Heaven and Earth Cutting Off Heaven and Earth in your mouth? In this case, I will break the formation and open the way of heaven and earth, so that it can no longer trap Wuluan and stop me. ”

"That's what you think? Wuluan is really so important to you?"

"Cangming, you are all for the sake of the Wu clan for the righteousness, and I am very selfish, I agreed to go to Buzhou Mountain not because I am a member of the Wu clan, everything I did was because of Wu Luan, I wanted to see him, I wanted to bring him to the lower realm, I just wanted to be with Wu Luan. ”

"But have you ever thought that Wu Luan is willing to leave the Void Sea, and is he willing to watch you break through the Heluo Array?"

Yue Qianlong pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, strange, she is obviously a young girl who has not been aged, but she can be so beautiful that she is tense and sharp, which makes people feel tempted to look at it, but they dare not get too close.

"We had a heart-to-heart connection 170,000 years ago, could I still not see through what Wuluan thought?"

Heh, Cangming felt sour and ironic, Qianlong was a lonely soul in the Nightmare Pond, and that person was the god who guarded the eternity alone in the Heluo Great Array.

The Nightmare Pond originates from the Delirium Sea, and it is the reflection of the Delusion Sea in the mortal world, which should have been two places of death, but it is because of the origin relationship between the Pond and the Delirium Sea that they can hear each other's voices through time and space. However, in these hundreds of thousands of years, they have only heard each other's voices, since they have never even seen their faces, how can they talk about the same heart?

But Cangming didn't expect that three thousand years had passed, and now when Yue Qianlong, who had been behind Yuan, woke up, he still only thought about the Wuluan God who was like a phantom moon.

"Chitaki. ”

The woman looked up, her sharp eyes like the cold wind of early winter, "What?"

"I ......" Cangming was about to speak and stopped, and then he said something irlevant: "Heluo Array should not be underestimated, although you already have the brand of the Yuan Shen, it is better to be careful." ”

"You don't have to worry, I understand. ”

Cangming sighed, and had to stay aside without saying much.

It is said that in the past, heaven and earth were combined, and there was no so-called god emperor, let alone later demons. However, after the establishment of the Interception Sect, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who had the Chaos Bell, took the Hetuluo Book as his eye and the heaven, earth and stars as the instrument to create two major formations, and since then the heaven and earth have been separated from Buzhou Mountain, and the people of the Wu clan have never set foot on Buzhou Mountain again.

Taiyi proclaimed himself the Eastern Emperor, and at the same time respected his brother Jun as the Emperor of Heaven, and since then the demon clan has become the orthodoxy of the Three Realms, and the people of the demon clan have proclaimed themselves gods, in charge of the stars of Zhou Tian, the replacement of the sun and the moon, and only regard the Wu clan as their own subjects. But Taiyi and Dijun are not innate sages like Nuwa in the end, since they have desires in their hearts, they will have partiality.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the sky was in turmoil, so Hou Yi shot down nine of the suns with a golden arrow, and shot down the eleven moons that night with a silver arrow, but three years later, the great witch Hou Yi died from the power of the ancestral witch.

At that time, the heavens and the earth were shaking, but in the chaos of the war, the Wu people accidentally discovered a crack in the Star Dou Great Formation, which was the eye of the Heluo Formation behind the Gate of Chaos-the Delusion Sea. It is said that after the seventy-two Yuan Hui, the sea will disappear completely, and at that time, the two major heaven-sealing formations of the demon clan will be truly unbreakable, and the demon clan will be the king forever, and everything will be trampled on the soles of their feet forever.

It is precisely because of this crack that the Wu clan will refine the Nirvana Arrow, and there will be Yue Qianlong. To the clansmen, she is just a weapon.

"Star Swirl, why are you playing this again?"

After speaking, Cangming looked at Star Swirl who was playing the piano on the stone platform, this woman was beautiful and serene, not only her eyes were moving, but even her jaw and every step was full of tenderness that melted into her heart. If it is said that Cangming is the new moon in the night firmament, then this person is like a star haunting beside him, no matter how dim her star is, she is there impartial, never abandoned.

"Lord Cangming?" Star Swirl stood up, her brow full of concern, "How's Chitaki doing?"

"It's nothing, she's still in the Nightmare Pool. ”

"Really? Chitaki, she's still thinking about that person?"

Well, she has always felt that only Wuluan can understand the loneliness and anger in her heart in this world, so she attaches great importance to him. ”

Star Swirl said with a rare hint of melancholy, "Chitaki comes from a special background, and what she thinks and feels is indeed difficult for mortals to understand. ”

"Yes, she has been trapped in the Nightmare Pond for 170,000 years, and as the son of the Great Sect Sacrifice, I have learned how to manipulate the Nightmare Mirror since I was a child, and I have watched her in the Nightmare Mirror since I was a child. At that time, Chitaki was lonely and lonely, tormented and bitten by the resentful spirits in the nightmare pond day and night, and it was I who watched her change from an arrow spirit who could only cry and hide to what she is today. I wondered, didn't I know as much about Chitaki as Wuluan who was far away in the Nine Heavens?"

"Lord Cangming, Chitaki is also a member of my Wu clan, and she will naturally understand the hard work of you and the patriarch. ”

"Really?" Cangming smiled bitterly: "But, only when you hear the sound of the piano coming from the sea of vain, only ...... When she heard Wu Luan's voice, she felt a little happy, as if she was really alive. I think it's the same feeling for Wuluan, who is struggling in the sea of vain. It can be seen that Chitaki is right, I will not understand the emotion between her and Wuluan, because, I have never experienced what the two of them experienced. ”

"Lord Cangming, everything you have done is for the sake of the Wu people, you don't have to question yourself. ”

This person really knows himself very well, and he strokes the strings.

"Don't talk about that, Star Swirl, why do you keep hearing you playing the song "The Long Tribulation" lately?"

"Because Chitaki likes to listen to it, she said that when she was trapped in the Nightmare Pond Realm, she always heard Wu Luan play this song, and because Chitaki felt comfortable, I wanted to learn to play it for her every day. ”

"Oh, you've only known each other for a few days, and I'm surprised that you think so much about Chitaki. ”

Star Swirl smiled faintly, looking at Cangming's eyes but looking melancholy, "Because...... Only when Chitaki is more comfortable, can you see a little smile on the face of the adult. ”

"Star Swirl?"

"I like to play the piano and blow the flute on weekdays, but it's just some meaningless things, and Lord Cangming doesn't need to take it to heart. At the moment, it is important to break through the Heluo Great Array, I heard that the clansmen said that you will go to Buzhou Mountain in the near future?"

"Hmm. Cangming sat down with the piano, "It's just this time." ”

"Do you really want to borrow the power of Chitaki to break the formation?"

"Hundreds of thousands of years ago, we were using the spirit of our clan to cast the Nirvana Arrow, and the original arrow spirit of Qianlong can not only be fused with the Nirvana Arrow, but even Lord Houyi's Sun Devouring Divine Bow has also been transformed by the power of the ancestral witch in her body, I think except for Qianlong, no one in the world can manipulate this arrow, let alone split the gap in the Heluo Array. ”

"You only use Chitaki as a weapon, but you never thought that she was also our clan 170,000 years ago. ”

"Maybe for the Great Sect and the Patriarch, Chitaki is a weapon, but for me it is by no means. ”

Star Swirl's expression froze, and with just a few words, she could find out the man's thoughts.

"Since it's not, then have you ever thought about what will happen to Qianlong who breaks through the Heluo array? She just wants to go to the edge of the sea to break the cage that traps Wuluan, but she doesn't know that this Heluo Eye is based on the soul as the pillar and the spirit as the system, since the Eye of Heluo is gone, there is no Wuluan in the world. ”

"Are you going to tell Chitaki?"

"As long as it is told by an adult, I will never say a word. ”

"Well, don't mention it again. ”

Star Swirl had already guessed the answer, and sure enough, in this person's heart, the number of witch fortunes was always the most important.

"Star Swirl, play the song you taught me. ”

"Lord Cangming?"

"When I was a child, the tune you taught me by the stream. ”

The memory is pulled back many years ago, when Cangming was thin and small, although he was the youngest son of the sect priest, he was always humble and kind, and even a little timid.

"This song is obviously very simple, but Lord Cangming just can't learn it. ”

"That's right. When he was still a teenager, a rare smile appeared on his face, "If I learned it early, then who else would I find to accompany me to watch the stars and admire the moon?"

Star Swirl's hand shuddered, and the voice slipped away, "Lord Cangming?"

"My father was very strict, and the people were respectful to me, and you were the only one, Star Swirl, who made me understand what family is. ”

"Family......" The woman read silently, people said that relatives even blood, if this is enough, "Lord Cangming, I will always be by your side, no matter where it is." ”

Cangming and the woman looked at each other and smiled, and the sound of the piano flowed between his fingers, in fact, he had already learned this tune.
