Chapter 2 The dust is not clean, and the brocade is beautiful
Fifty years later, above the clouds.
The shallow grass is like a blue moon like a hook, and the green grass at the feet of the moonlight is soft and shallow, half gentle, half mysterious. Looking at the moon from the clouds, it is much closer and much larger.
Fifty years ago, I was sent by a man in the abyss to the water and sky above the clouds, and this stay is fifty years.
Lin Yuan's experience was just like a real dream, and even the stone mirror mystery in the dream was brought to me.
The mirror was illuminated by the moonlight, and suddenly a faint red light flowed like blood diluted by water.
"There are demons in Xianyang." Zhao Shanyu came by moonlight and snatched the mirror from my hand, "We must go to Xianyang with Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister." ”
I know that my spiritual power is weak, and I am not a demon hunter with the same color as the sky and water, so I am not allowed to go to Xianyang.
Zhao Shanyu said: "Master appointed you to go with you." ”
In the past 50 years, I have been learning divination with my master, and because I am a prophet, my attainments are now considered to be the power of divination.
I know Master's intentions, that the Prophet should not have spent his entire life in this isolated city of clouds, looking at the fate of the world with a lofty gaze.
When Shanyu and I arrived at the ladder, Senior Brother Wen Xuan and Third Senior Sister A Ning were already waiting for us.
When Wen Xuan saw me, he waved his withered and old hand, "Human language!" ”
He called me, and his voice was dry and vicissitudes, as if it came from the depths of the heavenly river.
When I first came to Shui Tianyi, Wen Xuan was just a handsome boy in his twenties, his eyebrows were like crescent moons, his eyes were delicate and clear, and he liked to wear a wide robe to sit on the edge of the obsessive cliff and practice.
Now Wen Xuan is an old man in his twilight years, and his face is like a long mountain, intertwined with ravines.
I don't know if it's the Prophet who has the ability to pause time, or if I'm not a Terran at all. Fifty years later, I'm still the same.
Looking at Senior Sister A Ning, who is a god clan, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, and her eyes are clear. To this day, the liveliness and joy of a girl are still retained in the bottom of her eyes.
The ladder is the only link between the world and the water and the sky, and the abyss stretches to the bottom of the ladder. The lava flowed through the cracked earth and crawled all over the Houqi.
Senior Brother Wen Xuan said: "You must be careful when you go down the ladder, if you fall into it, Qi will be doomed, even if you are a revenant, you can't leave." ”
After falling into Qi, it is the most shameful demon hunter in the world, once the demon hunter is reduced to a demon clan, he will be bound here for the rest of his life and will never be able to leave.
The mist rising in the valley gave Houqi a little more mystery. The people outside Hou Qi couldn't see the scene in the valley clearly, and the demons in Hou Qi couldn't see the prosperity of the Cloud City.
Xianyang is the capital of Southern Qin, and the most prosperous place in the entire Southern Qin.
Pavilions and water pavilions, heavy buildings and flying pavilions. From high to low, from the center to the periphery.
Layers of rolling hills. At night, each house hangs lanterns, as if the immortals have sprinkled a handful of red to the world.
The highest point in the center, the Qiong Tower, which is carved with beams and paintings, is the imperial palace of Southern Qin. Along the way, I learned from Senior Brother Wen Xuan that the emperor of Southern Qin was the only one of the human race who lived the same life as the sky.
Standing under the gate of Xianyang City, the noise spread from the streets to the alleys and finally drifted into my ears. I was impressed by the bustle and bustle of this place. With a lot of chatter and laughter, and a boat sailing across the water, people here don't seem to need to worry about tomorrow.
Senior Sister A-Ning's body suddenly stiffened, and she stood respectfully with her head lowered and her eyebrows lowered.
"Uncle Qingchen!"
Senior Brother Wen Xuan and Senior Sister A Ning shouted together.
Shan Yu was also busy and said: "Uncle Qingchen! ”
Although I lowered my head, I felt Yi Qingchen's gaze stay on me.
I shouted softly, "Uncle Qingchen." ”
His gaze, hot enough to pierce my heart, still lingers on me.
"Why are you here too?" He asked cautiously, cautiously. On Peaceday, there is a magnificent bearing, and the majestic major general is completely different.
Zhao Shanyu replied for me: "This time, Master allowed Renyu to come with us. Master's divination technique of speaking human language can help us. ”
After he finished speaking, Wen Xuan said: "Xianyang is guarded by Uncle Qingchen, and ordinary monsters dare not show up. How did you come up with the idea of recruiting us? ”
Seeing the white-haired Wen Xuan so respectful to the young Yi Qingchen, I felt a burst of compassion. With a short lifespan of less than a hundred years, how can the human race be comparable to God.
Yi Qingchen said: "The demon who caused trouble in Xianyang City this time is the second of the ten demon gods, Tengu!" ”
In the face of the demon, Yi Qingchen, who has always been calm and light, even if he enters the abyss, has such a serious expression for the first time.
Senior Sister A Ning said: "Demon gods rarely interfere in world affairs, why did they suddenly make trouble this time?" ”
The liveliness of the girl in her eyes was replaced by a strong color.
Yi Qingchen shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that ten people in Xianyang City have been taken away by the soul bell so far." I heard that eighty-nine people in the entire Southern Qin Dynasty died because of this. ”
Taking away the souls of ninety-nine people sounds terrifying. The bell on my wrist jingled, and I broke out in a cold sweat.
This bell has not been ringing for fifty years, and since I left the water and sky, this bell seems to have lifted the ban and played its role.
Jingle bells, bells like wind chimes in the wind, ringing continuously and cheerfully.
Yi Qingchen grabbed my wrist, I tried to pull my hand out, but he grabbed it tighter.
"Where did your Dementor Bell come from?"
Yi Qingchen's expression was grim, and his calm face was as cold as frost on the glacier mountain rock.
I said, "This thing was given to me by the man who saved me in the abyss." ”
Yi Qingchen tried to remove the bracelet from my wrist, but the bracelet seemed to have countless pairs of tentacles embedded in my flesh, and he couldn't move even if he tried his best.
Senior Brother Wen Xuan put his hand on Yi Qingchen's wrist, but this simple action made Yi Qingchen let go of me.
"Senior Uncle Qingchen, before the little junior sister came to Shui Tian Yise, she had been living with Senior Brother Shanyu in that isolated place in Qinning. She doesn't know what a demon god is, so don't embarrass her. ”
Senior Brother Wen Xuan is the most serious and the most protective of the many senior brothers in Shui Tianyi.
Seeing that he was gray-haired and anxious to protect me, my heart warmed and said, "I can try to find this person." ”
Senior Brother Wen Xuan said: "The little junior sister has only learned the art of divination with the master, and her spiritual power is far inferior to us demon hunters. ”
Everyone present understood what he meant, and I knew that my spiritual power was low, and it was difficult for me to rely on the bell on my wrist to find the tengu in their mouths.
Yi Qingchen raised his eyebrows, "Let her try." ”
Senior Brother Wen Xuan's mouth opened one by one, and he just sighed lightly in the end.
My brother and sister and I lived in the house of Qingchen in Yi, and the flawless white wall was planted with flowers all over the courtyard. The light dust passed through the road, rolling up and falling one after another.
The courtyard is tired and scattered. The delicate and detailed houses are hidden behind the shadows of flowers.
Senior Brother Wen Xuan suddenly stopped his steps and said to me who came after: "Renyu, don't tell King Pingnan your surname Wen when you see him." ”
I have not changed my appearance in fifty years, and it is difficult not to let Yi Zhou doubt my identity.
I raised my eyes, and there was a tall and elegant man standing in the midst of the colorful fall. He wears pearls on his head and wipes his forehead, and wears a nine-cheeked robe.
Dare to embroider the head on the clothes, Yizhou is the first.
I heard that the first demon that Yi Zhou killed when he was a teenager was this hornless dragon cockroach head.
"Daddy." There was no change in mood on Yi Qingchen's face, it seemed that Yi Zhou was not his father and a stranger.
The boat walked slowly, its gaze swept over our faces one by one, and finally stopped at mine.
He looked at me a few more times, and surprise, surprise, and even panic flashed through his eyes.
Soon he returned to his normal color and took us to the four rooms of Meilan and Zhuju.
The senior brother was brought into the plum room, and the plum blossom Ling Han bloomed alone to represent the winter in the world. The last season of the year is the end of each year.
Senior Brother Wen Xuan's crane hair silver silk is in harmony with the moonlight, and it is more harmonious with the plum number room.
The senior sister lives in the bamboo house, and the bamboo is loyal and resolute, which is exactly the same as the senior sister's humility.
I live in the chrysanthemum room, which is sandwiched between the rooms of Yi Qingchen and Yi Zhou.
Yi Zhou sent me to the door, "Girl, Xianyang is not peaceful now, don't go out late at night." ”
I bowed my body and stood in front of the door to watch the boat leave.
I can't guess Yi Zhou's heart, but I know that his words must not be concerned about me.
The moon hung diagonally on the wall on the right, and the moonlight mixed with the breeze swept in the overwhelming red. After standing in the wind for a long time, I felt cold, so I stopped my eyes and turned into the house.
I held the stone mirror in my hand, and in the past fifty years, in addition to learning divination, I have spent the most time with the mirror fairy Xuanao.
The tower in the illusion is surrounded by a layer of golden light from top to bottom, shining brightly.
Xuan Ao gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and his long narrow eyes were closed as if he was resting.
The hall was too quiet, and the sound of my feet was clearly audible. I didn't feel like I was breathing, and I took my breath lightly.
"Why is it a little late today?" Xuan Ao opened his narrow eyes slightly, and slowly got up while shaking a feather fan.
Xuan Ao's appearance is different from Yi Qingchen's heroism and Shanyu's refinement, he is charming to the bone. The pair of smoky eyebrows, which were like green smoke, even his eyes seemed to be misty and full of affection.
I told Xuan Ao everything that happened that day, and I heard him say for a while: "Since Yi Zhou said this, there must be a reason for him, and you can just listen to it." ”
Xuan Ao was as gentle as ever, stretching out his gentle hand and pulling me to sit down on the chair, "I've been flipping through the book of fortunes recently, guess what I found?" ”
I shook my head, and Xuan Ao continued, "The recent dementorship incident in Nanqin has nothing to do with the tengu. ”
Obviously, it should be a lot of work to not be a tengu, but I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
I said, "Then you can see who did it in the book of life?" ”
Xuan Ao shook his head and said, "None of the people who were dementored saw the appearance of the demon. By the way, I found something interesting, would you like to hear about it? ”
I bowed slightly, and he said, "It turns out that you have been in the same water and sky for fifty years, and Yi Qingchen is willing to stay there for fifty years." ”
I listened in a daze, and it took me a while to understand the meaning of the mystery. It is because of me that I am willing to stay in the water and sky with only the sun, moon and stars for fifty years.
Why did he do this for me?
Xuan Ao said: "There is more interesting! ”
I raised my eyes to look at him, and he said, "Not only did Yi Qingchen stay in the water and sky for you, but the tengu was willing to wronged himself for fifty years. He didn't leave until you left a few days ago. ”
I hung my head and bit my lip. The tengu rescued me from Linyuan, why bother because I have been in the back of Qi all these years.
