Chapter 2 The fireflies are fleeting

"Demon Girl!" "This is a Demon Girl!" "She can use Gu Magic!" "Enchanting Gu Technique!" The crowd held torches and illuminated the originally faint rhododendron forest more dazzling than daytime.

Ah Shuang heard a noise coming from the wasteland, and subconsciously pulled Jiang Mi and hid behind a tree.

The crowd did not dare to step forward, but threw the torch at the two of them far away, and the grass and trees were affected by sparks, and flames were ignited in many places like sparks.

The firelight was too dazzling, Jiang Mi narrowed her eyes, opened her arms, and the two strings of silver bells that she was wearing on her wrists tightened more and more, and were directly embedded in the flesh. Rose stalks burst out of the dirt, tripping the fire-throwers to the ground, and the stems climbed down their ankles to their limbs, eventually forming cocoons one after another, trapping them in them. The wailing, the cry became tighter and denser as the stems of the flowers became tighter and denser, and finally died down. In the rhododendron forest, only the flames burned and crackled, and the charred branches fell to the ground with a loud sound.

Without help, Jiang Mi jumped up directly, turned into a white shadow and went to the sky, and rain fell in the sky. Wherever the rain went, the fires were extinguished. The original burned mutilated azaleas gradually grew back to their original appearance with the heavy exhalation and inhalation of the white shadow.

"Guangya" describes: there are scales called Jiaolong, winged called Ying Dragon, horned called Qiulong, no hornless dragon called Dragon, and not ascended to heaven called Panlong. If she is said to be alone, she has no scales and horns, maybe she is a dragon. The white light flashed, and she was still a girl dressed as a barbarian, leaping down from the high branches of the azalea tree, and landing barefoot, as light as a feather.

Ah Shuang looked up in dismay.

"Legend has it that the dragon soars for thousands of miles, driving the fog and clouds, and in the blink of an eye, it can reach the end of the earth, jump into the water, and fall into the deep sea. She stood on tiptoe and shook the silver bell tied to her ankle, making a pleasant sound. The silver chain that was originally tightened gradually loosened, as usual, "The heavenly realm is an immortal above all people, and I am the god above the heavenly realm, the daughter of the ancient dragon god, you are afraid of me?"

Her blood fell like a meteor on the weeds, connecting into threads, becoming the only reality in this sea of fantasy flowers.

Ah Shuang looked at Jiang Mi in front of him, and replied without humility or arrogance: "I have never seen God...... I don't know what God is...... If you say you are God...... That's it. Although he was not articulate and stammered slightly, "It doesn't matter who you are...... I won't be afraid of you. This sentence is sincere, and there is no fear of sycophancy.

Jiang Mi suddenly remembered the words of his master and sisters: 'At the end of the Great War of the Six Realms, the Emperor of Heaven used his halberd to cut the heavens and the earth, cut the Six Realms, burned all the soldiers who opposed and supported him, and declared the end of this long war. Since then, the Six Realms signed the "Treaty No. 1", and they have ceased wars, turning hostility into jade silk, and later generations call him selfless, but in fact it is not - he selfishly thinks that away from the Five Realms, he can sit on the throne unharmed. His every move confirmed the prophecy of the ancient Nine Dragons God: from the moment of selfish desires, all immortals are not worthy of having a godhead. However, it is also a good thing that the Emperor of Heaven has taken the Heavenly Realm away from the Human Realm, and the existence of the Emperor of Heaven will mislead the human race, mistakenly believing that the order of the world is determined by him. ''Then who decided it?'' Jiang Mi in his memory asked. The master silently pointed his finger to the sky.

If I am really God, do I have selfish desires from the moment I see Him?

Jiang Mi thought so, covered his stomach and laughed, seeing Ah Shuang's serious face, he gradually died down, and blushed embarrassedly, "What kind of god is not God, I am not a god of Laoshizi, and you can also believe it." ”

"I believe everything you say. Ah Shuang was in the midst of a forest full of flowers, but his hands and feet were cold. He wasn't afraid of her, it was just instinct to escape, "So what the hell are you...... Kill...... Did you kill them or not?"

"I have no grievances with them, so why bother to ruin my reputation," Jiang Mi picked a handful of azaleas from the tree, then took Ah Shuang's hand and walked out of the woods, "I just don't want to say more." You can rest assured, after half a pillar of incense, the flowers and vines will all disappear, and those barbarians will wake up and remember nothing. ”

They have seen each other for less than half an hour, but they have already held hands several times, which is really inappropriate. Fortunately, neither of them is a person who attaches importance to the three outlines and five constants, and they don't feel strange at all, but they feel that every time they pull, there are subtle differences.

Ah Shuang suddenly stopped: "My memory...... It won't be the same...... Someone took you away, right?"

"Who knows. Jiang Mi's heart tightened, as if he had caught a bird with a lovely coat, and he was so happy that he wanted to take him home to raise, but he had to release him back into the forest to give him freedom. She spread out her left palm, and a talisman made of black feathers floated into the air, which was the broken jade in the arms of the tall and thin man. Ah Shuang recognized it, reached out to grab it, and jumped a few more times before grabbing the feather in his hand. The feathers were taken raw from the wings of the black eagle and were hard to come by, while a tuft of shiny black hair hung on them, woven into a twisted pattern to form a circle.

"It's ...... What?" he clutched and refused to let go.

"This is what I just fished from the body of the tall, thin man, and the hair on it is yours, probably an old thing that belongs to you. Just now she read everyone's memories, and she knew that before this Ah Shuang arrived in the hands of the tall and thin man, she had been tired and reversed several times, and she couldn't figure out where it came from, but this Ping'an knot was thin and tall A little bit of it, and there were some traces in the memory. Jiang Mi told Ah Shuang and said, "This thing is called 'Hanyu Knot', which is a specialty of the Yizhou Mansion, and it is a talisman used by the soldiers who go out to avoid disasters and avoid disasters, if you want to find memories, go to the Yizhou Mansion." Jiang Mi said this, and it was already a situation of issuing an eviction order.

Ah Shuang was stunned, spread his hands, and the Hanyu knot was suspended in the air, shining. He looked down at the palms of his hands, his hands were white and tender, there were no calluses, and there were no scars, not like he had been in the army, he did not accept Jiang Mi's words.

"That's that...... What about you...... Where are you going?" for a moment, he was afraid of being left behind by her.

"You're really interesting, ask me where I'm from for a while, and ask me where I'm going for a while," Jiang Mi laughed, "Are these really so important to you?"

"I mean......" Confusedly, Ah Shuang grabbed the Hanyu knot and tied it around the thick linen belt around his waist, "Where are you going...... I'll be with you. ”

Ah Shuang's eyes are sincere, not like child's play. Jiang Mi suddenly felt that the originally lonely road had some concern. She reached out and stroked his cheek, and the loose hair was coiled in a high bun in the direction of her hand. Her head shook slightly, and the silver hairpin that was originally inserted in her hair flew to Ah Shuang's head and inserted it into the bun. She really didn't missee it, what a young man who was as gentle as jade.

So what, the fate of her life has already been decided, and others can't interfere in the slightest. It's just that on the way to death, with companionship, it is not lonely. So, she softly lied: "Master warned me that I was born as a sinner in the heavenly realm, and if I want to live a good life, I can only hide in the deep mountains locked by clouds and mist, and live this life. But I want to see the sea, I want to hit the waves head-on, I want to soar in the sea of clouds, I want to go home. ”

"Then go," he took her hand, as if he had gained new strength, and spat out word by word, which was really clear, "the sky is high and the sea is wide, the birds fly and the fish leap, I will accompany you." ”

In Jiang Mi's opinion, in the last period of her life, she and Ah Shuang got along very well. Even if it's a firework for a moment, it's fleeting.

They climbed the hillside, they crossed the stream, they walked through the woods, they skimmed the flowers, they marched eastward against the rising sun, they slept under the stars and the moon, day and night, the stars shifted, they measured inch by inch of land with their feet, leaving a trail that winded for hundreds of miles—the teenagers never considered that there were still mounts in the world as a means of travel, but one did not know, the other disdainful.

In the evening of that day, the two of them lay on their backs on the hillside, watching the sun sink in the west and the stars and moon rise in the east. The sound of insects and the whispering of animals in the distance made the night mysterious and moving, and Jiang Mi heard the sound of mosquitoes scratching the water in the small waterhole at the foot of the mountain, and his ears twitched slightly, and he felt an indescribable loneliness.

So she habitually went to pull Ah Shuang's hand, and compared to the first day of meeting, the palm of the hand was a little warmer. His hands were ordinary, neither overly delicate nor rough, apparently those of a scholar. Feeling Jiang Mi's small palm, Ah Shuang turned around, held Jiang Mi with both hands, and faced her. Jiang Mi was not shy, he also turned his head, curiously looking at the handsome face that was close at hand, the two of them faced each other, bowed their bodies, holding this hand, honest and without desire, like a pair of white and flawless jade kneeling people.

Ah Shuang's stomach rumbled out of place, Jiang Mi chuckled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the pear vortex was shallow. She didn't know that when she made fun of Ah Shuang, there was always a slight sly light in her eyes, like fleeting fireflies in the dark forest. Ah Shuang could see it, and saw a handful of azaleas conjured up in Jiang Mi's palm, the flowers were red and bloody, bright and dripping, she picked one casually and stuffed it into Ah Shuang's mouth. Ah Shuang obediently chewed a few bites, swallowed his throat, and boasted: "The taste is sweet but not astringent, you can taste it too?"

Jiang Mi believed it, opened her cherry mouth, and bit a petal, tearing it off like a lamb eating grass, and after chewing it less than three times, she sat up and snorted at the grass: "This is sour and astringent, how do you eat it?"

"I ......" Ah Shuang originally wanted to tease her, but in the face of her anger, he was instantly at a loss. He doesn't know how to express his kindness to her, nor how to admit his badness. He changed the subject stiffly, bluffing to hide his weakness: "This flower...... Where did you come from?"

"This is the one I picked in the rhododendron forest some time ago, you forgot. Jiang Mi shook the grass clippings and water droplets on his body, like a rabbit emerging from a mud hole in the grassland.

"Why is Jiao Yan as ever, where are you hiding?" Ah Shuang sat up and curiously touched Jiang Mi's sleeves and waist pocket, Jiang Mi was afraid of itching, twisting left and right like a little snake on hot oil, and was scratched so much that he couldn't stand it, so he said: "This is a spell taught to me by the master, called 'Empty Valley'." Make the valley empty, and make the valley empty, and thus come. ”

"Hollowing out ...... into a valley?"

"Yes, this is a spell created by the master himself, and it can be learned by any mortal with spiritual sense, in order to avoid the shackles of Treaty No. 1. I mentioned Treaty No. 1, do you remember?"

Ah Shuang nodded obediently.

In the past few days, Jiang Mi has successively explained to Ah Shuang the origin of the "No. 1 Treaty" - tens of millions of years ago, in order to compete for the leadership of the Six Realms, the Heavenly Emperor and the Demon Lord fought openly and secretly, and the six worlds of gods, demons, demons, immortals, ghosts, and humans fought upside down, and the war extended to the end of heaven and earth...... After fighting like this for more than a thousand years, the vitality of the Six Realms was greatly damaged, and each of them lost thousands of lives. Finally, in order to appease the people and recuperate, the Emperor of Heaven held a halberd to split the Six Realms, and on this day, the six realms have undergone earth-shaking changes in time, space and form—the temporary peace treaty signed by the Six Realms in order to quell the war is the "Treaty No. 1", and this name reflects the supremacy of this covenant.

"The treaty stipulates that no god or demon can use his true body to appear outside the realm to which he belongs. As a god, the master fell into the human world, which violated the rules of heaven, and he could only come up with some clever ways to hide his breath. You always laugh at me for wearing these silver chains, which are not very convenient," Jiang Mi's eyes looked into the distance, the sky was already sunk, and the sky was full of stars, like a fairyland, "Then you have never seen the iron chains embedded in my master's body, the skin and flesh are connected, and the snakes are twisted and twisted." ”

Ah Shuang stared at the girl in front of him, only to feel that the sky and the earth were dim, and he couldn't see clearly. He had never seen her clearly, even though she seemed to be cold and clean, and frank.

"Even if it is so painful, why should we fall into the mortal world and add to the suffering?" God's existence is that he can turn his nose up at life and death, and be proud of everything. However, the gods have their own natural hazards, also known as catastrophes.

"Because of me," Jiang Mi said 'me', not 'we'. She clearly knew that the more she confessed to Ah Shuang, the more truth she concealed, and the slightest mistake between them would have been lost, "The master can't bear to hand me over to the Emperor of Heaven, to be a trapped beast in prison, immortal and immortal, unable to breathe freely and soar wantonly." ”

"He ...... for you Paid the price. ”

"This is what he willingly," Jiang Mi smiled, stroking the side of Ah Shuang's face, "because he loves me." "She said 'me,' not 'she.'" From beginning to end, she knew that what the master really loved was Jiang Xing, Ah Xing, who flashed and shone brightly, and Ah Xing, who repaired his heart full of holes and green juice.

Unfortunately, Jiang Mi also loved Jiang Xing, so he willingly sent her to death.

It's her choice.
