I don't know if it's because the memory of people when they are dying is always very deep. Even after so many years, things are different from people, but he still sees those eyes in his dreams from time to time.

He is the heir of the first military general family in Southern Chu, Chen Yan.

From a very young age, he knew that he had a very high background and talent, and was destined to make a big career.

As the eldest son of a family surnamed A, and as the best son of a family in Danyang City, the first half of his life can be described as smooth.

When his childhood friend was still walking cats and teasing dogs, he went to the battlefield under the leadership of his stern grandfather. From the age of fifteen to twenty-five, he fought on the battlefield for ten years, and even delayed starting a family, and finally at the age of twenty-five, he did not rely on Zuyin but relied on his military exploits to become a chariot general second only to the general and the hussar general, with a golden seal and purple ribbon, above the Wei general and the front, rear, left and right generals.

At that time, it caused a sensation in the entire Shanhai Continent and broke the record of the youngest general in the past century.

Of course, at that time he didn't know that this record of his would soon be broken by a young girl.

At that time, the whole continent was talking about a young and promising jade-faced general in Southern Chu.

Even his grandfather, who had never been smiling, heard the news when he was dying on the sickbed, and passed away with a smile while talking about the hope of the Chen family.

In order to rejoice his seriously ill grandfather, he married the daughter of a long-engaged family after his grandfather fell ill.

The grandfather was happy and mourned, the father succeeded to the throne of the Great Sima, and the descendants of the Chen family are hopeful.

At that time, he was really proud, he started a family when he was a general, and he was newly married Yan'er, and everyone including him believed that what awaited him was an incomparably brilliant future.

Until, the war that changed him happened.

Xirong invaded, Guiyang transferred troops, and the chief secretary ordered him to go out in person.

This is a crisis for the border, but it is also a great opportunity for young generals to make a difference.

His father, as the Great Sima Li, directed him to lead the army to the battle, which can be said to be painstakingly paving the way for his future, so even if his wife was just pregnant, he did not hesitate to agree.

He is also fighting for a future for his unborn son, military generals are no better than civilian officials, only military merit is the last word.

And hearing that the Great Secretary personally commanded this battle made him even more interested. He has always been very curious about what kind of person the woman who walked out of Nanchu and left countless legends on the battlefield.

But after seeing the real person, he found that the big priest was not as cold and dedicated as he imagined and rumored, no matter how he looked at it, he was an ordinary woman.

There was no one around him, but only a nine-year-old child.

He has heard too many praises since he was made a general, and no one has said that he is young and promising, but the first time this great secretary saw him, he only frowned and whispered.

"Too young."

Where has he ever heard such words, who has been soaked in praise, he can't help but feel angry in his heart.

"Master of the National Teacher, the last general thinks that ability has nothing to do with age, not to mention that the war is so tight, the National Teacher has brought a child into the military camp, how can you still say that the last general is young?"

"It's true that the last general has not yet been established, but it's still older than this one, right?"

In the face of his disrespectful remarks, the accompanying Nanchu civil officials were so frightened that they sweated profusely and hurriedly played a round, but to his surprise, the high-ranking and powerful national teacher did not get angry.

"You're right, ability has nothing to do with age, it's me who is rash." The woman's voice was calm, and she looked at the little girl beside her, "This is my apprentice, she has the power to protect herself on the battlefield, and General Chen doesn't have to worry." ”

Can a nine-year-old protect himself on the battlefield?

Watching the woman speak calmly, there was no domineering and arbitrary behavior as he imagined, but it made Chen Yan even more angry, and this anger was held in his heart, and finally burned out his reason.

He had only one thought in his heart, and that was to make meritorious contributions.

Because of his earnestness for meritorious service, when discussing who should lure the enemy's vanguard at the operational meeting, he did not hesitate to volunteer, and insisted on bringing only half of the men and horses despite Lin Shubai's dissuasion due to the shortage of manpower in the army.

In the end, he paid the price for his youthful arrogance and megalomania.

The bravery of the Xijon people was beyond his imagination, the five hundred ranger battalions around him were all wiped out, he held his last breath to complete the task of luring the enemy, did not insult the face of his Chen family, in order not to be captured, he was going to kill himself, but accidentally found a hidden hole.

Maybe it was because he had not yet seen his unborn child, and he was reluctant to bury into this cave by digging into the dog hole, but he no longer had the strength to climb up.

It was a mine, hidden and dark, and it was impossible to see from the outside, and he had escaped the pursuit, and it was also extremely difficult for rescuers to find him.

He spent seven days in the damp, dark cavern of the mine, relying on the sewage from the bottom of the pit.

However, as time passed, he became more and more frightened, disappointed day by day, and finally despaired.

His True Yuan had been depleted, no one could detect his aura, and those who had been missing on the battlefield for three days were generally considered dead by default. The news of his death may have been transmitted back to Nanchu at this time, and his comrades-in-arms are probably all dead, and no one will look for him.

He could only die alone at the bottom of this pit, alone, and he could not even isolate his bones.

By the seventh day, his body had reached its limit.

He thought he was going to die here.

The only regret is that I didn't see the unborn child.

And just as he was muttering that he was going to die.

He saw those eyes.

It was a pair of black and white eyes, clear to the bottom, and a little unreally beautiful.

The mine is deep and dark, and because of its location, there is no sunlight in the daytime. Only in the middle of the night will a ray of moonlight shine through.

In the past seven days, he relied on this ray of moonlight to calculate time and support his mind.

And just when he thought he was going to die and swallow his last breath, in that flash of moonlight, he lay on the gravel and raised his head slightly, and suddenly saw those eyes.

was quietly watching him.

Everything was like a dream, an illusion.

"Am I dead?" He remembered him laughing in a hoarse voice.

"No, you're not going to die."

However, at this moment, a childish but calm voice suddenly came from in front of him.

"I found you."

The girl walked quietly into the moonlight and bent down to look at him.

"I'm not going to let you die."

Then she stretched out her hand and gently put it on his vein, and the next moment he felt that there was actually an abundance of true yuan crossing into his body.

"You are ......" The voice was like a clear spring washing his chaotic head, and the true element, which also belonged to the fire law, entered his body, and finally awakened a wisp of his consciousness.

He focused his gaze, only to find that what appeared in front of him was actually the little girl he had seen beside Lin Shubai before.

And at this moment, he was shocked to find that this kid who was only nine years old was actually a sixth-level cultivator!

"...... the hell you have"

But what shocked him even more was that in the deep pit where he had been missing for many days, and had not been found by anyone for so many days, how did this girl know that he was still alive and how did he find him?

"You're trying to ask how I found you?" The girl in front of him, who was transporting the true yuan to him, stood up and asked softly.

He nodded with difficulty.

"I hear the wind," the girl smiled, "the wind brings your voice, so I guess you're around here." ”

The sound of the wind?

He didn't understand at the time, thinking that the little girl was messing around. Later, I learned that this was the only talent that belonged to that girl and was recognized by the first wind law practitioner today as the wind law practitioner's ability to listen to all things.

"But even if you know I'm nearby......," he muttered.

It's not like he's not hearing other people's footsteps these days, but the hole he's in is barely visible from the outside, and it's hard to know there's a hole even from the outside.

"It's been seven days since you've been missing, and if you're still alive, I'm guessing you must be somewhere there's water." The girl spoke softly.

"And where there's water, there's often them."

The moonlight faded.

"Where there is water, there will be fireflies on summer nights."

He opened his eyes wide as he watched the girl in front of him open her hand easily, and a little firefly flew from her palm.

"They brought me to you."

In the sparkling fireflies, he saw the face of the girl in front of him clearly.

She was covered in mud, but her eyes were stunningly beautiful.

He will never forget those eyes.

However, Chen Yan didn't expect anything.

After seventeen years.

On the same summer night, he actually saw these eyes again in his yard.
