Back at the tavern, Poria took Maple Leaf to the backyard

The corridor in the backyard is cross-shaped, with the junction of the backyard and the tavern at one end, and the rooms of Xu Feng and Qiu Ming are connected on both sides of the cross, and at the end is the room of Yiling.

Yiling took the maple leaf and walked straight to the innermost wall of her room, the sky outside had already darkened, and the light moonlight entered the house. Yi Ling stretched out his hand and injected demon power into the wall, and a magic circle appeared on the wall, the magic circle was in the shape of a six-pointed star, and there were runes written around it that the maple leaf couldn't understand, and there was an eye in the middle of the six-pointed star, with the injection of the magic power of Yi Ling, the eyes slowly opened, and then, the wall where the magic circle was located actually retreated a little, and slowly moved again When the wall moved half away, the eyes were also opened to the maximum. The entrance to a secret room is displayed in front of Maple Leaf's eyes.

"Let's go in," said Yiling, "there are some things I still have to tell you." ”

Maple Leaf looked inside, and could vaguely identify that it was a corridor, and there was a corner not far away, and a purple light overflowed from the corner. Maple Leaf took a breath, grabbed Yiling with her small hand, and a pair of amber-like eyes didn't dare to look at her, staring straight at the ground. Yiling smiled helplessly, took her hand and walked in.

The facilities inside are simple but sophisticated: two sandalwood chairs next to them, covered with thick upholstery; Between the two chairs, there is a sandalwood table, on which is placed a precious blue and white porcelain tea set; In the middle is a large woolen circular carpet, with an eye circle painted almost identical to the doorway, and there is a transparent barrier on the bed on the carpet, and a little frost is attached to the barrier, which seems to be used to maintain the temperature, and the temperature inside is very low. Maple Leaf took a closer look and was surprised:

A silver-haired man, dressed in a black robe trimmed with silver trim, lay peacefully in it, his face pale.

"This is my master," Yi Ling said with a wry smile, "I want to resurrect him." ”

Five hundred years ago

"Mother, where are Daddy and Uncle going?" A petite girl, nestled in her mother's arms, innocently looking at the elders who were ready to go.

The woman she called her mother smiled softly, "Dad and uncle, they are going to drive away the bad guys, let's wait at home and bless them safe." However, when she looked up at her people, the woman's eyes were full of worry.

"Then Xiaoyi is going too!" The little girl shouted, her golden pupils shining movingly in the sun, "Xiao Yi is a super super powerful snake demon, and he will definitely be able to drive away the bad guys!" ”

The man closest to her heard it, walked back again, and scratched the little girl's nose with a smile, "Don't make trouble, wait for Dad to come back and bring you something fun." ”

The little girl had not yet fully transformed into a human form, and her half-cut tail showed her skirt. Hearing this, the girl's tail wagged back and forth: "Really? Then let's pull the hook, don't talk doesn't count. ”

"Hmm." The man looked lovingly at the girl in front of him, but the girl did not notice the seriousness in the man's eyes. Then he returned to the group and set off.

500 years ago, the two clans fought a war, and none of the soldiers of the snake clan returned. The demon slayer attacked the snake tribe and killed all the adults in the clan. The children were taken captive, used as talisman materials and experimental tools. Since then, the snake clan has been completely wiped out.

The girl woke up to find herself lying on a mat. She doesn't remember anything after her father left. It's just that in a trance, I heard the sound of crying, scolding, and beating. Finally, the sound of the mother crying. There was also the sound of footsteps hugging her and running away in a hurry.

But what about mothers? The little girl looked around, but there was no half-figure.

"You're awake." The girl suddenly heard a clear male voice. When he looked up, a man with flowing silver hair, like an immortal in an ink painting, walked in.

The girl looked up at the man. The right half of his face is covered by a black-on-gold-rimmed mask, and the golden patterns are interlaced on the mask to form the shape of a flower on the other side. Enchanting but noble. The man's eyebrows are narrow and long, the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, and the eyebrows are the most authentic sword eyebrows. There is a bit of sharpness in the coldness, which reminds people of the eagle soaring in the sky of the snow-capped mountains.

"Who are you?" The girl asked weakly. "Why am I here? What about my mother, what about my father? ”

The man was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his hand and rubbed the head of the girl in front of him: "You don't need to know these things now, I will tell you slowly when you grow up and can accept it." Now you just need to know. It is enough for you to live with me, and for me to adopt you on your behalf. ”

His voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, magnetic, with a hint of hoarseness. It's seductive, but it's callous. The girl in front of her was stunned and nodded obediently: "Then when can I go home?" ”

"Home? Oh, that kind of place, it's better not to go back for the rest of your life. There was a hint of hatred in the man's eyes. He rubbed the girl's head again, "You are my only sustenance in this world." From now on, this is your home. ”
