On the seventh day of the eighth month, Alain rushed to the battlefield. At the beginning of the war, only six days later, the Winged Bird Clan had lost a large area of land and was forced to retreat to the south of the Sixing River, with 80,000 troops losing 30,000, and 50,000 soldiers and 120,000 male soldiers of the Night Owl Clan across the river.

One after another, military orders for reinforcement were sent to the royal city in an urgent manner, and the paintings were unheard of, and the troops did not move. There are male soldiers in the front, but there is no help in the back, and the morale of the army is low, and the battle has not stopped, and it has shown defeat. That night, Alain Ruo infiltrated the military tent, stunned and carried him out of the army, while he put on his armor and sat in the main tent.

Alan Ruo led 50,000 tired soldiers, and used the half-moon array to take advantage of the river to block the night owl clan from the river. The Sixing River is bleeding and drifting, and the south bank is also full of corpses, it is the end of summer, and the cool breeze on the riverside at night passes, but only the rotting corpses and blood are heard. The half-moon array blocked the enemy for seven days, forcing the night owl clan to surrender 50,000 troops, but due to the lack of food and grass and the lack of reinforcements for a long time, the night owl clan could not bear to take turns attacking the formation with the advantage of the large number of people, and finally broke a gap in the middle of the night on the seventh day.

The Chang Geng star lit up in the sky, and the eldest prince of the night owl clan was overjoyed and was about to lead the army to cross the river. Under the moonlight and starlight, looking across the river, I saw a one-man high iron bow suddenly turned into a one-man high iron bow in the hand of the opposing general, and three featherless arrows pierced the night sky with the sound of the cold wind, and the featherless long arrows fell straight into the middle of the river, turning into three huge iron pillars, standing in a row on the turbulent water.

Spiritualist Array.

Chang Gengxing was crumbling by the sudden ink clouds, and a ball of golden light suddenly broke away from the long body standing beside the iron bow. After breaking through the sky, the golden light floating in the air condensed into a huge winged bird, overlooking the majestic circles on both sides of the riverside, and the gale wind raised by the wings swept the Jin Ge Iron Horse over. The figure next to the iron bow did not move, and the strong wind blew off the helmet, revealing long black hair and a cold face.

In the mournful hissing, the golden winged bird crouched on the iron pillar in the middle of the river, its wings covering most of the river, and its wings flapped again, and the flames burned around it.

The flames were blazing, like an endless karmic fire, blocking the entire Sixing River and forming a natural barrier against the enemy. The foehn blew the music forest on the other side of the river. The origin of the name of the Rakuyin tree is that its branches and leaves can play music when the wind blows.

In order to stop the enemy from outside the Sixing River, Alan Ruo used the Soul Formation and burned his soul. That's why she's gone. That's why she's so lost.

The thick canopy of the sky, the boiling karmic fire in the rushing river, the wailing of the winged bird through the music forest, and the wonderful song played in the forest, as if mourning the death of a princess. And on the long river, those small white music flowers are not afraid of the foehn wind, like a migrating young bird, drifting through the flames in the river, and like a flying light snow, one is particularly persistent, wading through the mountains and rivers slowly drifting down to Alan Ruo's sideburns, she raised her hand to pin it into her sideburns, and her fingers stopped after caressing the sideburns. That was an action that Shen Ye used to do after giving her no flowers. She was stunned for a long time, but she smiled. The golden winged bird let out a last wail, and she stroked the white flowers on her sideburns and slowly closed her eyes. The big bird was still a statue in the river, only the flame was not extinguished, and the long-haired princess had exhausted her life and stepped into eternal nothingness by leaning on the iron bow. The fire was not extinguished for three days, and when it was extinguished, the princess and the iron bow were reduced to dust and sand, and disappeared in the rolling river.

This is the life of Alainjo.

Feng Jiu never understood what Alan Ruo was thinking about with his last smile.

Coming out of this memory, there was a long mirror made of heavy snow in front of her, Feng Jiu stretched out her hand to push the mirror away, and suddenly it was dark in front of her eyes, and the moment before she lost consciousness, she felt that at this time, she was finally going to really faint, how good it would be to faint like this earlier.

Section XV

01.

The highest place of the princess's mansion is the Boxin Pavilion, the pavilion is planted with ancient trees all over the place, the trees are all the towering ancient charms, the sunlight shines into the pavilion through the forest leaves, adds a layer of ancient meaning to a small mountain pavilion.

At this time, there were four people in the mountain pavilion, the Emperor of Donghua and the chief priest Shen Ye faced each other, the sleeping Feng Jiu was held in the arms of the emperor, and Su Moye stood aside with his hands down. The time and place are favorable, and in all fairness, it is actually a good picture.

However, the second prince of Su Mo and Ye Su looked at the battle in front of him, but he was really a little confused, because the two opposite people in front of him were all silent people, although he was good at observing words and feelings, but recently he was tossed by the emperor to build magic weapons, and his brain was a little tired, and then the things that happened in the past three days seemed to be connected with lightning, so that he could not calm down so far.

Three days ago, it was an auspicious day of the zodiac, and God had mercy on him, so that the twelfth urgent letter he sent to the emperor took effect, and the emperor was recalled to the Qinan Shrine. He urged the emperor to vomit blood, but fortunately, when the emperor came back, he took the blood back, hoping that he could go down the mountain to rest after the magic weapon was finished.

In fact, the emperor never told him what magic weapon he wanted to make, and he never asked about it in line with his duty as a courtier, but just followed what the emperor said one by one. When the emperor returned to the shrine to finish the magic weapon and became a figure, he realized that this was actually a mirror, and it was an unusual mirror - Miaohua Mirror.

He had heard of the Miaohua Mirror hanging on the seventh day of the Nine Heavens, saying that this mirror could reproduce the rise and fall of billions of mortal worlds in the three thousand worlds, but the Fanyin Valley where the Biyi Bird Clan lived was also a fairy land and an extraordinary world, and the Miaohua Mirror should not be able to show its past rights and wrongs. He was a little puzzled, since it was not for this function, what did the emperor bother to do by hitting this mirror. He thought about it, it was not the vanity mirror for Feng Jiu...... Thinking about it again, this is actually very possible.

Fortunately, this time the emperor did not deviate from this situation, at that time, the mirror became, the emperor looked at it casually for a moment, picked up the pen and casually ticked something on the paper and threw it into the mirror, and before long, a clear scene appeared in the mirror.

The scene in the mirror made him tremble, it was the snake array next to the Spring of Relief more than two hundred years ago. In the bleak wind and evil rain, the giant python with four tails of the rock looked up to the sky with red eyes, full of pain of losing a child. The little girl who was held in his arms stretched out her arms and struggled to return to the snake formation, tears welling up in her eyes and sizzling snake words from her mouth. He stood on the head of the clouds, and the jasper flute floated in the air, and no one played it but made a sound to drive away snakes. The little girl rebelled in his arms, he could have been imprisoned with spells, but he didn't know what he was thinking at that moment, so he only used the strength of his hands to lock this little girl who loved to hide behind the stones and listen to his. She had nothing to do, and seeing that tears were about to fall, he stroked her forehead and whispered: "You are very smart, although you can't speak, you should understand what I'm saying, you are not a snake, you are the second princess of the Winged Bird Clan." Do you want to continue to be a snake, born in a square inch and treated as a foreign object by your kind, or do you want to spread your wings and soar into the sky? Tears condensed in the girl's eyes, for a long time, she bit her lip, as if enduring some great pain, flapping her wings, a pair of snow-white wings on the back of her shoulders instantly spread, she imitated his voice: "...... ......He smiled, "Good boy, this is your first time spreading your wings?" From now on, I will be your master. ”

The winged bird may have one wing, or it may have two wings, and Alain is a two-winged bird.

The scene of many years ago was relived in front of him, and he was stunned, but the emperor had already made a pot of tea, divided two porcelain cups, and said to him casually: "I have changed this mirror, so that the past and present lives of immortals can also be seen." Looking at the Miaohua Mirror, he said, "It is about Shen Ye who created this situation, first see what he wants to do, and then see if Xiaobai has anything to do with Alain, you stay and watch together, if there is anything in the future, it is convenient to take care of it for me." ”

He ignored for a moment that the emperor allowed him to stay here because he expected him to continue to do day work for him, and his mind was confused for a moment, and he said with a trembling voice: "The emperor is saying that this mirror can see the cause of Alan Ruo's death?" ”

The emperor said inexplicably: "This is very strange? ”

He calmed down and said, "I never knew that there were magic weapons in the world that could tell the past and present lives of immortals, it was indeed rare. He added, "I heard that Miaohua Mirror can only reveal one side of the matter at a time, ask the emperor, is the past revealed at this time only the side that Shen Ye saw?" ”

The emperor nodded lightly, and reminded him in the teapot: "Don't touch your hands on the frame, beware of being disturbed by the thoughts of the person in the mirror." However, this reminder was more leisurely and unhurried, his hand had already curiously touched the frame, and in an instant, an emotion as heavy as a mountain stone, with the hand connected to the frame, hit the bottom of his heart. It's like experiencing a life in an instant. The life of someone else. Shen Ye's life.

Mo Shao remembered that a few years ago, Alan Ruo told him that the first time she met Shen Ye was a few days before Shen Ye's birthday. At that time, she had just come out of the snake formation, and although she was taken care of by him, the master of the palace, she couldn't help but feel lonely in the huge palace, and she wanted to get close to everyone.

That day, she walked into the garden, and from behind an old apricot tree, she saw that in the flowers in front of her, Shen Ye led the two of them to play a game of guessing the herbs. Her cousin was originally handsome, and that day was probably because of the sunshine and flowers, and he was even more handsome and extraordinary, which made her very willing to be close.

On his birthday in a few days, she felt that this was a good opportunity to get close to him, and she should go to congratulate him. She remembered the demeanor of him standing in the elegant flowers that day, and wanted to go to the garden to pick a handful as a gift, but she didn't want the flowers to bloom for a short time, and they had already failed. With the appearance of the flowers in her memory, she immaturely put a picture on the paper, and cherished it to go to her uncle's mansion to congratulate him on his birthday. On his birthday, he was dressed in casual clothes in the garden, and he wore a priest's uniform to show a calm and handsome man beyond his years. He remained with Nuo Changdi, only glanced at her from a distance, and then looked away with indifference.

In the afternoon, she found the painting she gave him in a small ditch in the backyard, the ink stains had been soaked so that she could not see the traces of the original painting, and her little sister Chang Di stood by the ditch and taunted her: "Brother Shen Ye said that you were raised by snakes, and you grew up with humus turf, and it was so dirty that he didn't want the painting you painted......

At that time, she told him about this past, and said with a smile, she and Shen Ye had only seen these two sides when they were young, and since then she has never been close to Shen Ye, nor has she ever been a guest at her mother's uncle's house. She and Shen Ye, in fact, there was no fate from the beginning, and she still forced the fate with Shen Ye later, and she didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

Mo Shao thought that Alan was indeed forced, and he was convinced that she had planted the bane of ashes because of this marriage. And Shen Ye for Alan Ruo, he never believed that he would have any affection for her, if he had affection, how could he watch her die? Ten thousand steps back, he has been tired of her for decades, and he has only gotten along with her for two years, even if two years can be called love, it can never be judged as profound. As for what Alan Ruo did after his death, it was just a cliché that he had lost and cherished. Shen Ye doesn't love Alan Ruo, if he loves Alan Ruo, this is a joke.

But God likes to make jokes. The emotions in the Miaohua mirror were surging like a flood, and Mo Shao's face gradually turned pale. The emperor drank tea and asked him, "Can you still stand it?" He smiled ugly: "Looking at the emperor's advice, how can you stand it, and how can you treat it if you can't stand it?" The emperor's advice was concise and to the point: "Bear it all." ”

The world says that the chief priest is cold and silent, his thoughts are unpredictable, and the holy will of the lord can still be figured out, and even if the chief priest thinks about it, it is a vain figure. At this time, the thoughts of this inscrutable priest were directly spread out in front of Mo Shao's eyes.

He saw so clearly that it was like he was who he was.

02.

Shen Ye's birth was not peaceful. His mother was taken to the shrine to give birth when she was pregnant with him, but on the day of his birth, there was no strange appearance in the heavens, and he was born as a very weak child, who could not even cry. The chief priest at the time, Xi Ze, was not in the palace, and several unkind-hearted priests muttered that they wanted to expel his mother and son from the palace, and the emperor Xiangli Yin, who went to the palace to spend the summer, happened to pass by and left him and his mother with kindness.

Seeing that his breathing was getting weaker, Xiang Liyin cut his wrists and bleed, and saved his life with half a bowl of wrist blood. His first cry landed at noon, originally only standing in the east of the sun with a bright sun, but suddenly climbed a round of full moon, for a while the sun and the moon in the sky and earth were shining, Xiang Li Yin laughed: "Isn't this the little god of my clan, since the vision of the sky is to shine in the city, it is better to name it a Ye word." He followed his mother's surname, and was given the title by Xiangli, so he had a name, called Shen Ye.

Shangjun Xiangli Yin decided his mother's marriage and promised her to his brother-in-law, and her mother moved out of the shrine to her husband's house, and he was appointed as the successor chief priest when he was one year old, and was respected in the Qinan Shrine.

Time flies, and when the palace change under the mountain happened, he was only five years old. Xi Ze Shenjun warned him while eating mung bean cake that although the Qinan Divine Palace performed a supervisory duty, if it were not for the loss of morality of the Emperor and the destruction of the souls, the other things would not be among the supervision of the Divine Palace. The palace changes such things, they fight for them, let's go and see the excitement if we are interested, and if we are not interested, close the palace gate tightly, drink tea and eat a cake.

They ate mung bean cakes behind closed doors for several days, and news came from outside that the new monarch had ascended the throne and married the queen of the previous king, who had been painted as a noble lady, and the palace officials came to ask for the blessings of the priests. Xi Ze used the excuse that the mung bean cake was too much to eat, and it was inconvenient to travel, so he assigned a few entourages to carry the five-year-old to the palace. He was only five years old when he presided over the prayer service for the first time, and nothing went wrong. Xi Ze was very satisfied, and after that, he became more and more lazy, and if there was any use in the palace for the priest, he should be sent to the top cylinder. Every time he jacks the cylinder, he is very good, which makes Xi Ze love it.

His mother married the elder brother of the painting, and the painting was his aunt. Soon after, Tachino was born, and because he often went to the palace, he often took Tachino to him to take care of. When she was ten years old, because of her practice in the mountains, she did not set foot in the palace for two years, and when she entered the palace again, she told her that her mother had a new sister more than a year ago, and her sister was very soft and cute, but her mother threw her into the snake's nest, but fortunately, the four pythons did not eat her sister, and caught a mouse, bit off the neck of the mouse and fed the blood to her sister.

There is only one snake nest in the palace, which is next to the fountain of relief. Why do you want to see the child in Tachibana's mouth, he can't tell. That night, the moon was as silver as frost, and he was about to step into the garden in the moonlight, when he heard a bunch of bamboo shadows behind a few palace maids, saying that the child in the snake array had always loved to crawl around at this hour, but there was no sound tonight, could it be sick or something, and he didn't need to give it to the queen. A few people pushed who to give to the queen as well, but they were afraid that the queen would be angry, no one wanted to go, and made an excuse that the queen threw the child into the snake formation and didn't want her to survive. The whispers dispersed after a while.

He approached the snake formation, squatted on the four Huabiao of the giant python and stood quietly, and at the edge of the snake array framed by Huabiao, he saw a baby more than an old man lying on the ground, trembling. On the fifteenth day of this night, the moon was full in the sky, and it was the time of the most cloudy, and the giant python in Huabiao thought that it was the aura of the moon and Hua, and he had no time to take care of this child. He did not alarm the python, carefully stood on the edge of the formation, and reluctantly reached out to turn over the child. Under the moonlight, I saw the child's dirty little face, chapped lips uncomfortably closed, several baby teeth clucking, holding a dead mouse in his arms, and his hands were covered with blood.

This is his cousin. is also a cousin, Tang Nuo has been pampered since he was a child, but this child is unclothed, dirty and enclosed in this snake array, and can only live on rat blood. The little child lay on the ground, trembling for a while, and finally cried uncontrollably, as if someone was pinching his throat, and his voice was soft and thin. It was such a dissonant cry, but it slammed into his heart.
