Chapter 1 Last night the west wind withered the green trees
Qin Ning's bird was so free, flying over the mountains and crossing the flowing water, and finally came to the place where its heart longed.
I have lived in Qinning since I was a child, and it is no longer the same as it was a hundred years ago.
Qinning thousands of rocks and thousands of ravines stand on the wall, and the vast and reckless mountains surround this layer, making it an independent paradise.
I love the snow, and I love to watch the snow turn the lush pine-fir mountains into a snow-covered white, and the rushing streams into ice.
It's just that it doesn't snow often in Qinning, and it stops from the beginning of the winter month to the Lantern Festival the following year.
Zhao Shanyu is my best friend here, and Qin Ning is the only living person besides me. He said, "You like snow, maybe because you have a snowflake mark on you." ”
This snowflake mark was brought by me from my mother's womb, and it seemed to indicate my fate with snow. I guess what Shanyu said is right!
I was different from him, and I had a memory of it for the time I dreamed of a man every night. A man, a man who was born carefree and handsome, and looks like Pan An's reincarnation.
His name is Yi Qingchen, and he is the best demon hunter in Southern Qin. He is also a god that Shanyu takes as an example.
Yi Qingchen always likes to sit by the window, so that the sunlight through the screen window sets off his gentle and handsome face.
But in the last few days, my dreams have changed, and I have begun to stop dreaming of Yi Qingchen. I dreamed of the abyss, where there was no place where life was shrouded in death. Whether it's a sunny morning or a sunset twilight, the abyss is always dark.
Not only Linyuan, but also countless demon clans cut their wrists in the center of Linyuan. Each of them prostrated on the ground, bringing their blood close to the land of death.
Under the abyss, the demon blood intertwined along the vines and crawled towards the king of ten thousand demons in the seal. He sucked demon blood like a child feeding milk, first drop at first, then more and more he needed. He is like a bottomless pit in the abyss, using the corpse of a demon to feed himself.
This is the fifth time I've had this dream, and it's the first time I've had it. I knew that Shanyu and I had the same dream, and I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Shan Yu said: "We all dream of the king of ten thousand demons sealed at the bottom of the abyss, could it be that the king of ten thousand demons is about to break through the seal?" ”
This is Shanyu's guess, and this is my guess. I felt the snowflake marks on my wrists burn slightly, and these two days were even more pronounced, as if I had put my hands on the fire and roasted them, as if thousands of ants had eaten my flesh.
Shan Yu said: "If it is really the King of Ten Thousand Demons, we must go to Linyuan to prevent all this from happening. ”
He has always dreamed of becoming a famous demon hunter in Southern Qin like Yi Qingchen, but I was born with mercy on demons and was never willing to kill demons.
Over the years, Shanyu has had countless opportunities to leave Qin Ning, and even when his father, Nan Qin, a high-ranking official of the Protoss, came to him, he didn't leave.
What have I done for him? What can I do for him? That's it, if you can help Shanyu realize her wish, what if you go to Linyuan.
This is the early spring of Qinning, the grass should be green, the flowers are red and willow green, and the birds are chirping and chirping, free and happy.
But when I opened the firewood, I saw the snow in the sky. The light fall from the top of the mountain happily turns the whole mountain white.
This is a gift from the Snow Maiden at the foot of the mountain, and I have always believed that I am the free bird of Qinning and the darling of the Snow Maiden.
The abyss is desperate, it never gives life a chance, even hope.
When Shanyu and I arrived in Linyuan, there were already many demon hunters here. Our presence caused quite an uproar, and I am not a monster hunter if Shanyu is not.
A skinny black-clothed demon catcher said, "If you two go to Linyuan, stay away from me, don't look for death by yourself, and take me with you." ”
The blue-clothed demon hunter beside him also said, "Yes, you two are not even demon hunters. What is it that Lin Yuan didn't send to death? ”
I don't care, but Shanyu is arrogant by nature, where can I stand such grievances. was about to dismiss it, but I don't know who shouted: "Yi Qingchen is here!" ”
For a while, the demon hunters present were silent, as if a barking dog had been covered in its mouth.
This is the first time I've met Yi Qingchen, but I'm more familiar with him than any other demon hunter. I know his habits and his way of speaking.
Thaksin walked and walked calmly. There is no fear or joy in him before entering the abyss.
His eyebrows are like towering mountains being cut horizontally, from the tail of his eyebrows to the eyebrows, handsome and majestic.
His eyes can only penetrate people's hearts, and no mind can escape his eyes.
Yi Qingchen stopped in front of me, his appearance was obviously stunned, and there was more guilt, desperate luck and gnashing anger in his eyes.
"None of the demon hunters are here, how dare they come to the abyss?"
I had expected him to say something like this, but I didn't expect him to say it in a caring tone.
Zhao Shanyu said: "Renyu and I both had dreams about the King of Ten Thousand Demons, so we rushed here." ”
This caused a whisper among the demon hunters, who had all had the same dream on the same day.
Yi Qingchen came here because of his dream.
The snowflake mark on my wrist became hotter and hotter, and as the seal of the King of Ten Thousand Demons became weaker and weaker, it was now painful as if ants were crawling all over my body, devouring my internal organs.
"If you don't enter the abyss again, the King of Ten Thousand Demons will break through the seal."
No one expected that the only one here who wasn't a monster hunter would say something like that.
"Prophet!" Yi Qingchen's voice was so soft that only he and I could hear it.
"The two of them went into the abyss with me."
The demon hunters have no objection, once they enter the abyss, their spirit weapons used to catch demons are only like scrap metal, and they only rely on their extraordinary five senses to perceive the existence of demons.
Yi Qingchen is full of spiritual power, and his five senses have developed to the extreme, and a pair of ears can hear voices from miles away.
He secretly shook my hand and silently placed a stone mirror in my palm.
The lines on the stone mirror are very peculiar, like a fox and a wolf. My fingers touched every ravine in the stone mirror, and I didn't feel my breath, and I used all my strength to sense him.
The stone mirror floated with a layer of dark green light, and it was just like a breeze that passed through the hall unintentionally, fleeting.
Yi Qingchen was slightly surprised, although he hid this expression very deeply.
They entered the abyss, which was forever shrouded in darkness, and no longer chose their own path, as they had done outside.
Shanyu and I followed Yi Qingchen, and he seemed to be accommodating to me, slowing his pace very slowly.
"Entering Linyuan, except for Yi Qingchen, who has the ability to take us out. Everything else is mud bodhisattva, and it is difficult to protect itself when crossing the river. ”
Shanyu was playing with the chalcedony left for him by his father, and suddenly said this to me.
Yi Qingchen saw it and said, "Put Linlang away!" All the treasures that collect demons are useless in the abyss. ”
He doesn't speak coldly, on the contrary, he is gentle and polite, but there is always a hint of detachment in it.
Shanyu put the chalcedony into his sleeve, and his steps became faster. I was afraid that he would get carried away and scatter with us, so I unconsciously quickened my pace.
I always felt that the elm was in front of me, and it was getting faster and faster. Soon, his figure was like an illusion in the curling green smoke, floating into the air along the smoke and fireworks.
There is no Zhao Shanyu here, and there is no Yi Qingchen. In this dark abyss, there is only me!
Stimulated by such fear, my five senses were brought into full play. Suddenly, the mark on my wrist hurt even more, as if flesh had been torn apart.
My lips were white, and I couldn't support me to go down the abyss. I fell to the ground, with the white bones. My life will be buried here.
Dream, I had another dream. In the dream, the abyss was shrouded in heavenly fire, and I could see it clearly, and the ground was covered with a layer of white bones. It's those demons, it's those who inadvertently break into the abyss.
A crack cracked in the ground, and the gap grew bigger and bigger. I lay down in the crevices and became the last provision of the King of Demons.
This is the fate I am about to accept, my strength is sucked dry little by little by Linyuan. My energy gradually dissipated.
"Human, wake up!"
In this endless darkness, I seemed to see the Snow Maiden.
She looks like I'm the same age, but she's lived for tens of thousands of years.
"Renyu, leave Linyuan quickly!"
The Snow Maiden whispered in my ear, and her voice was only like a silk bamboo orchestra, which made me very comfortable.
My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and at last I couldn't even hear the Snow Maiden's voice.
I don't know how long I fainted in the abyss, but I eventually woke up.
The fire from my dream also came here with my awakening, and I saw the person beside me clearly by the light of the fire.
He was dressed in black, looking like a water moon Guanyin, and his aura was magnificent.
He looked up at me slightly, as if concerned but not concerned.
"Thank you seniors for saving your life."
I bowed my hand, and behold, I had an extra silver bracelet on my wrist with a small bell tied to it.
The man also has an identical bracelet on his hand, except that his bell is bigger than mine.
"Linyuan is not the place you should be."
The man finally said the first sentence, indifferent and emotionless. It's just like he saved me just to think about it.
He got up from the pile of bones, "You and those demon hunters shouldn't be here. ”
Before I could finish speaking, the man's figure disappeared before my eyes, and I couldn't see him anywhere I could.
The man placed me at the entrance to the abyss, and one step I could leave this hellish place forever.
But Shanyu is still here, and Yi Qingchen is also here. I can't leave the two of them alone in this danger.
I made my way to the center of the abyss, and with each step the bell rang, and from the depths of the woods I could hear a louder reply.
The man is not far from me, and the sound of the bell is made by the bell in the man's hand.
I wanted to keep going, but the man came from deep in the woods, as fast as a cheetah. When I came back to my senses, I had been taken out of the abyss by the man.
Waiting is the most tormenting, and waiting for a person to come back from the brink of life and death is the torment of fidgeting.
It lasted three whole days before it subsided, and every day I felt like I was on pins and needles. If Shanyu and Yi Qingchen don't come back for a day, my guilt can't be eliminated for a day.
The Flowing Fire is the punishment of the king of the Protoss to Linyuan, and it is the punishment for its indiscriminate killing of innocents.
It's just that the heavenly fire faded, and the abyss was shrouded in darkness and death again.
Suddenly, I saw two people walking slowly towards me in the darkness, and at first glance they seemed to be one person.
The man staggered, but walked calmly and calmly.
It was Yi Qingchen, and I took a few steps forward to meet him, leaving behind the man's request to save me.
The sound of bells burst out of the air, making it particularly harsh in the quiet night.
As soon as my feet stepped on the ground of Linyuan, Linyuan was like a child waiting to be fed, frantically drawing essence and blood from me.
I tried to hold on to the light dust, and the hand I stretched out was as dry and wrinkled as the hand of an eighty-year-old man.
I'm aging rapidly, and Lin Yuan wants more from me.
My shriveled skin was covered with a mist-like shimmer, like a sky full of stars dissipating in the abyss.
There was the sound of a bell in the woods, the last sound I heard before I died.
