Being alive is never easy.

Because the laws of nature doom some creatures to live, and some creatures to die.

And some live, and some are doomed.

The history of human evolution has slowly created the emergence of civilization, but under the cloak of civilization, the essence of many things has not changed.

Monsters want people to die, and people want monsters to die, this opposite does not exist in essence between justice and evil, there is only a question of starting point, from the standpoint of monsters, it is humans who are evil, and from the standpoint of humans, it is monsters that are naturally evil.

The issue between the Kamikaze Federation and the Holy Land Alliance cannot be flaunted by good and evil, and naturally many of the choices made by many people in this matter cannot be distinguished by good and evil.

The ghost general's wife and children may not know what their husband's plans are for them to leave the Holy Land Alliance and go to the enemy country they perceive as dangerous, but as the ghost general said, what he wants to do is actually just to live, to live long, and to live long for some people.

Who doesn't want to live long?

At least, no normal person would want to die.

Is there really a right or wrong choice to live a long life, at least in the matter of the position of the two countries?

......

Not only the Holy Land Alliance, but also the Kamikaze Federation in the south is also snowing.

The borders of the Human Alliance's survival circle, bounded by the city walls, are also covered with snow.

Large expanses of snow tirelessly fall, flying all over the world, filling the whole world to the brim, even the space that is not occupied by the snow is filled with cold winds. The snow sealed all the mountain lines white, made the tall metal walls shiny as new, and froze the faces of the soldiers at the border gates red.

Dressed in loose robes, Cai Yao stood quietly in a whitewashed concrete room, where he lived in a three-story dormitory in the Guanguan area, where one of the two highest-ranking generals in the Federation lived.

If you look closely at the heating pipe, you can see the heat rolling on the surface of the metal pipe, flying out of a few decimeters and then disappearing, smoking the whole room warm, and the snow on the edge of the window sill is slowly turning into water and pouring against the wall.

Like the scenery outside, there are many photos hanging on the snow-white walls, but without exception, there are only Cai Yao himself on these photos, and no one else.

There are photos of him being awarded the Military Merit Medal for killing six armed men at the northern border pass when he first joined the army, there are photos of him becoming the company commander of the Fifth Military Region, and there are photos of him coming to the border of the human survival circle for the first time as a regiment commander, standing on the city wall and overlooking the magnificent mountains and rivers outside the circle...... Finally, more than ten years ago, he led an army of 100,000 to go out to survive outside the circle and capture the photos of the frost dragon alive......

Seeing this photo, Cai Yao's face finally changed slightly.

The task in this photo is one of the many schemes that Emperor Shenxuan tried in order to defeat Nangong Bat, although it did not come in handy in the end, but it was a major victory for humans in the face of monsters after the establishment of the survival circle of the Human Alliance, and it was the first time that one of the three dragons and three beasts was captured alive Super Monster.

Gently stroking the frost dragon in the photo, who had died not long ago, staring at himself standing beside the frost dragon bound by hundreds of mechanical chains. In the photo, he was in a scorching sun armor, like a newborn sun, full of light, just looking at this picture, a strong sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Cai Yao's mouth.

A smile pierced the photo, and several cracks cracked.

"He captured me alive, and now I capture him...... Speaking of which, he has a very close relationship with us, and he can't get rid of it. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been able to enter the Federation so smoothly that we have so much information under control, and if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been so successful in finding this method to make some of the plans less difficult...... There's a saying about their creatures called providence, and I think maybe it's the same for us. ”

In the bedroom, a three-tailed cat curled its tail and walked out lightly, leaving footprints on the clean floor, stretching its waist, and walking slowly around him.

"Humans are complex creatures, but they're not that hard to understand, and the difference between them and monsters is just a different kind. Cai Yao shook his head disdainfully, and he didn't know who to sigh to, and he didn't know what the content of this emotion meant.

"Meow-" The three-tailed cat meowed, as if agreeing with him.

Soon there was a knock on the door, and after he had answered, an officer entered the house.

After a brief conversation, Cai Yao got the news he needed, so he left the dormitory with the three-tailed cat in his arms and entered his exclusive widened off-road vehicle. On the roof of the car, there was a snowman who didn't know which soldier was not afraid of death, and he deliberately made his eyes and nose with briquettes, but Cai Yao ignored it, and the snowman soon collapsed slowly in the start of the car.

There was no escort to accompany him, not even the driver, he personally drove the car, and crushed two lonely black tire marks on the white snow, revealing the cement land and the grass clippings that had frozen to death in the original military camp outside the city, becoming a rare black on the white snow.

Far from the barracks, away from the city walls, far from the people, the cars became more and more desolate, and there was no longer any living creature running within a radius of several kilometers.

Walking through the forest, the roar of the engine did not wake the hibernating squirrels, and their slight snoring in the hollow of the tree fell into a calm that did not change in the slightest as the car drove away.

The car passed out of the forest again and reached an open field.

Drive calmly all the way.

As we approached the end of the day, the sky was dark, the snow was falling heavier, the cold wind was blowing, and when I looked up, I only felt as if a river was surging above my head, and even the collapsed snowman on the roof of the car was half submerged by the new snow.

When the light from the westward slope of the clouds was barely enough to illuminate the world, the much-larger special Mustang off-road vehicle finally came to a slow stop.

The engine was still running, as if it had been shivering from the cold winter.

Cai Yao pushed the car door, the cold wind poured into his mouth and nose, blowing his neckline constantly shaking, making his ordinary plain clothes look thinner and thinner in the cold winter, and the paradox is that maybe because he is too fat to last the whole winter, no one will worry about whether he feels cold at the moment.

And the Venerable of the Holy Realm has long surpassed the limits of the severe cold, and he doesn't feel half a bit cold inside and outside his body, he only feels like a fish in water, and he is extraordinarily free.

The place where the car stopped was a desolate village, and every house remained dead silent in the cold and snow, without the slightest light or fireworks, and there were some corpses on the ground, which were submerged in the snow, and only faintly saw the faces that had come out of the snow but had long since rotted.

In front of him was the clearing in the center of the village, and above the clearing, there were one hundred and twenty-three ghost skeleton pedestals, forming four circles.

In the center of the pedestal is a huge cage.

Inside the cage was a huge dragon body that had long since decayed, leaving only a skeleton, and the ground was littered with terrifying chains of mechanical factions that were fastened into the dragon's bones.

This is the body of the Frost Dragon.

And this is the place where the ghost witch Wan Yuxi was ordered by Emperor Shenxuan to help Cai Yao become a saint using a transformative soul dementoring technique to refine the soul of the frost dragon and use its power to break the spell casting place of the Holy Realm.

Right next to the cage, a few weeds that were still tender green stood out from the snow tenaciously at some point, and they were all gently swaggering in the wind and snow at this moment.

In the distance, there is a plum tree that grows vigorously, and the tree is full of plum blossoms.

Life is just that weird sometimes.

In the calculation of the sky, the cold winter should devour all things, but some creatures did not walk according to the established route of nature, did not wither in the cold winter, but became the beneficiaries of it, and were able to be proud and lonely here.

So God can't do everything, let alone sad human beings?

The sarcasm at the corner of Cai Yao's mouth bloomed again, even stronger than when he was in the house.

The three-tailed yellow cat, which had just been awakened by freezing because the car door was open, jumped out of the car, quickly swept to his side, and stood against his legs, only then did he feel a little warmth.

It is different from Cai Yao, what it looks at with cat's eyes is an unusually thin old man next to the cage, as if there are only bones, and only the remnants of long white hair hanging from his head, which seems to blend in with the snow.

The old man kept looking at the caged monster.

Cai Yao's eyes fell on him at this time.

"Mr. Yin Yan, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed. Cai Yao's voice gently broke the calm on the desolate and dead snow.

This old man is the famous wizard of the Federation, an old ghost.

Han Xu would not be unfamiliar with this name, not only because he was a well-known Great Wizard of the Federation, but also because when the Sword Demon Zhaojia of Wanyu City teamed up with the Fire Wolf Li Enya to fight Lin Xuejian, Zhaojia's mouth mentioned his name. At that time, the bronze ancient coffin that completely blocked Zhaojia's breath, so that he could get close to Lin Xueji unknowingly, was the handwriting of this great wizard.

And he also has an identity, that is, the only biological brother of the ghost witch Wan Yuxi.

"The old man's sister is such a younger brother as the old man, and she lives to this age, and the sister only has such a relative as the old man, and the old man did not go to find the hairy boy named Han Xu to take revenge, but came here, which is the meaning of the saint, but the old man knows that the reason why His Majesty will make this decision is because of the Your Majesty who asked for it, General, Your Majesty just agreed. The old man was not happy with this decision at first, but after seeing you, the general, the old man was suddenly happy about this trip. ”

The old man slowly turned his head and looked at Cai Yao, who had walked in front of him, his eyes were sharp, flashing the snowy night sky that was slowly coming.

His eyes were cloudy like a river of mud, and his voice spoke very slowly, much slower than the speed of the interval between the snow falling and falling, making people feel that he was completely out of tune with the scene, and he was out of the scene.

"Oh?" Cai Yao became interested.

The old ghost bowed slightly, and his movements were also very slow, and his voice became even slower: "Although my sister is dead, you are indeed the greatest work of her life. ”

Cai Yao raised his eyebrows slightly.

The dignified general was described as a work, and he probably should have been angry, but he was not angry, because he agreed with this statement.

"There are many great works in the ghost witch's life, and she has not been able to break through the holy realm, but I am the only one who has directly related to the holy realm because of her witchcraft, and there is nothing wrong with you explaining it this way. ”

The old ghost turned his head, looked at the body of the frost dragon in the cage again, and said expressionlessly: "When the Holy Lord wanted to reproduce the Soul Dementoring Dafa, the first thing he found was not his sister, but the old man, but the old man actually didn't believe that the Soul Dementor Dafa could succeed, so what about sacrificing tens of thousands of people for this? Even if hundreds of thousands, it couldn't take effect, so he didn't accept His Majesty's plan."

I didn't expect my sister to be willing to try, although she has not succeeded in the real sense of her efforts for so many years, but she has opened up another path. ”

"My sister still has a lot of things to do in this life, but unfortunately they haven't been completed yet...... She was originally the strongest wizard in the Federation, but now that she is dead, the old man seems to have become the so-called first person, and only the old man can continue to do what she has not done. ”

Cai Yao bowed his head, looked at the old man who was only on his chest, and said slowly: "The ghost witch's soul dementorship Dafa still needs to be improved. ”

"There's still a lot to improve.

The frost dragon is mighty and unyielding, the strength is like a god, general, you break through the holy realm, in fact, you only need to absorb part of the power of the frost dragon to break the shackles of the human realm, in fact, most of the frost dragon's power is still in its own body, but unfortunately it has become a waste with its death, it is a waste.

And although you have broken through the Holy Realm, General, in fact, this time the Witchcraft Dafa still failed, because even if the General relied on the Dementor to break through the Holy Realm, the Frost Dragon should not have died, but should have become a vassal of the General's soul and was ordered by the General. This is the true version of this method of dementoring. ”

Cai Yao's eyes were shining, and he bowed slightly, and his voice couldn't help but tremble and asked, "Mr. Yin Yan has a way to improve?"

The old ghost was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "General, you want the old man to come over, don't you just hope that the old man will find a way?"

"I hope it's hope, but whether you can or not is the core. Cai Yao's expression was slowly solemn.

"Since my sister can do this step as a general, it proves that this road will work, as long as it works, there must be a way to go, old man, I will do my best. ”

A sentence of doing your best means that there is hope.

Cai Yao laughed loudly and said gratefully: "Then thank you, sir." ”

The old ghost looked at this tall and fat man, the last time they met was in the imperial city to discuss how to deal with Nangong bat, speaking of which, the two have not met for more than ten years, and it is normal for each other to change, but he didn't expect that it was just that he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, and this general was so strange that he almost didn't recognize it at all.

"You've changed a lot. ”

Cai Yao slowly stopped laughing, but his eyebrows and eyes were still full of joy, and he said lightly: "Won't everyone change?"

"Have you changed before and after your sanctification, General?" asked the old ghost.

Cai Yao shook his head and said, "Why is the general asking this?"

"The old man just doesn't understand, the general has never been a generous person, even if this kind of soul dementoring method is successful, it will only make more holy realms appear in the federation, and it will not be of any benefit to the general himself, why are you so enthusiastic and happy about this matter?"

Cai Yao was silent for a long time, and said that "the good of the Federation is the good of me as a general." ”

The old ghost didn't reply.

It's just that I suddenly felt coldly that the cold snow on this winter night seemed to have inexplicably become more arrogant, and there was a sense of ...... Unnatural taste.

The snowman on the roof of the Mustang cart has been completely buried by the flying university.

PS: Have you ever heard Leehom Wang's snowman? I suddenly thought of this song, so I also used lyrics in the chapter titles.
