Chapter 1: The Phantom Clan
It was dark all around, and I couldn't see my fingers, and even the sound of breathing was very clear and audible. Shi Sui hid here, curled up.
In a dark and silent environment, time is especially long. Shi Sui is not a Xuanshi, and he can't accurately judge the passage of time, but he feels that his head full of green silk may have become a flowery hair.
However, when a small crack opened in the heavy wooden door, Shi Sui felt that the time was too short. And the light leaked in and there was a noisy and bloody shout: "...... Thieves, you will not die well! β
A figure flashed through the door, and the wooden door shut.
ββ¦β¦ Mother-in-law? Shi Sui hesitated to speak. Although the figure came in quickly, although the figure came in in the backlight, Shi Sui still barely managed to see a rough idea, but he didn't dare to confirm it.
The white dress was embroidered with cyan vines, which was the clothing of the great elders of the clan, but now it was dyed with dark red blood, and the vines were almost indistinguishable, only a few familiar branches and leaves stubbornly floated on the blood.
The dresses are similar, and the appearance is indeed extremely unfamiliar at that time. Although the Great Elder was called "Mother-in-law" by the time in terms of age, because he had become a master of the Xuan Dynasty, his appearance remained in his twentieth year, and outsiders would only think that he was the elder sister of the time when he saw it. But the face of the figure I saw just now was already covered with furrows, and the green silk was also dyed with frost.
Shi Sui looked at the door in a daze, and at this time the darkness and silence returned to the place, which made people suspect that it was just an illusion.
"Years old."
It wasn't until the old but familiar voice sounded that the senses of the old man regained consciousness, although the voice was old, but the call from the bottom of the heart was about to come out.
Shi Sui walked towards the place of the Great Elder, but he fell because he had maintained a movement for a long time and his blood was not smooth, and finally he stumbled over with his hands and feet.
As the years got closer to the Great Elder, the smell of blood became stronger, both familiar and unfamiliar, but they all had one thing in common, they were all sweet. In the past, it was his favorite smell, but today it makes him nauseous.
Shi Sui fumbled and touched the hem of the Great Elder's clothes, and along the lines of the clothes, he wanted to touch the Great Elder's face, but he only moved an inch away, and his hand was covered by the Great Elder's hand through the clothes, "Sui Sui is not afraid, they can't hurt you." β
"ButγBut they hurt their mother-in-law, and Yingying, Xingshen, and Xiao Ning ......" Shi Sui took a deep breath and exhaled with a choked breath in his throat, "Clansmen, how are they, how are they?" β
The Great Elder didn't answer Shi Sui's question, only gasping for breath mixed with the smell of fresh blood: "There is no need to take revenge. Years old, years old you have to remember," the hand covering Shi Sui suddenly clenched, "Go to the Daqian Palace, remember, you must, you must, you must ......"
"I remember, Sui Sui remembers ......" Shi Sui said these two words repeatedly, the Great Elder's hand was still holding his hand, through the smooth cloth, he could still feel the warmth, but the breath that he had exhaled in his ear before was gone, and only the residual warmth remained in his ears.
ββ¦β¦ Mother-in-law? A teardrop the size of a bean slipped from the eyes of the old man and dripped down the hem of the overlapping clothes of the two of them.
"Mother-in-law!" The other free hand trembled and stretched out into the air, touching the breath that the Great Elder had exhaled before, but when it was so close that it had almost touched the fine fluff on the Great Elder's face, Shi Sui's hand stopped.
"Mother-in-law, I remember everything, can you say a word to Sui Sui again?" The words fell, and there was only the sound of his own sobs and tears soaking his clothes.
Until the trembling amplitude of the hand accidentally increased a little, and the rough touch came from the palm of the hand.
β¦β¦
"Sui, you go and help your mother-in-law pick a spirit glass flower."
"Mother-in-law, have you run out of rouge again? The spirit glass flowers are almost gone. β
"If you don't have to plant it again, this time it's a new one, and I'll use it for my little year when the time comes."
"I don't want it, my mother-in-law can use it herself!"
"Hahahaha!"
β¦β¦
In the memories of those years, the Great Elder was an extremely beautiful person, and he was also a person who loved beauty very much. I remember that when he was a child, he accidentally knocked over a bottle of perfume from the Great Elder, and the Great Elder didn't give him a good face for a whole day.
But now the skin under his palm was like the bark of a tree that he had touched countless times, rough and textured, and he groped and stayed under the nose of the Great Elder, without a trace of breath flowing.
"Mother-in-law, you are so ugly now, Sui Sui will pick spiritual glass flowers for you, and prepare fragrance and lipstick...... "Shi Sui hugged the eldest elder violently, tears and snot on his face, "Mother-in-law, I don't want to be alone, I am so afraid of my mother-in-law." β
A slight sound came into Shi Sui's ears accurately, this was the sound of the formation being destroyed, and then a clear voice came from outside the door with an indelible killing intent:
"Young Master of the Phantom Clan?"
As he froze, a monstrous hatred churned through his heart, and a dagger slipped out of his sleeve.
There was no response, it should be impatient, the male voice outside the door called again, and then the heavy wooden door opened, and the sunlight leaked in, dazzling and dazzling.
The inside of the door was also full of light, and the scene inside was clearly exposed, and the hand of the old man clenched the blade of the knife, and blood slid down the tip of the knife.
With blood as a guide, the teleportation is triggered, irreversible.
When the light of the teleportation circle was about to cover Shi Sui, the man who opened the door subconsciously used his body to chase after him, and before he fell unconscious, Shi Sui clearly saw the surprised look on the man's face.
Shi Sui hooked the corners of his lips, and he almost didn't see the curvature.
He is a hidden clan and will never be used by others.
The man threw himself into the air, and the light completely covered the time, and when the light went out, there was a "clank", and the dagger fell to the ground, and on the side of the dagger was the great elder who sat on the ground with his head bowed, and the sunlight hit the side of her face, as if she was still alive.
β¦β¦
The Phantom Clan, which is said to have the blood of the demon clan, is a half-demon and can transform into a human form at will.
About 10,000 years ago, the Void Clan disappeared on the mainland, and then there was occasional news of the appearance of the Void Clan, and in the end, it was just easy to fool the world.
The Illusory Clan does have a special bloodline, but it is just a group of people who are different from ordinary people. They only need to swallow a drop of someone else's blood to temporarily transform into that person's appearance, but once they transform, their blood will no longer be pure, and it will be even more difficult for them to give birth to an heir.
Stretching back to 10,000 years ago, the Void Hidden Clan that still existed on the continent had very few people using their own special bloodline, and very few people knew their own special bloodline.
The Illusory Clan was almost a legend at that time.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and there are phantom people who are used by one person, abducted and deceived, and finally become strong. The Phantom Clan was once again exposed to the human body, and it was known to the world that there was a red mole on the back of the neck of the Phantom Clan.
Some people want to copy the path of the strong, and some people want to become strong themselves...... Desire is always a bottomless abyss, and the continent has been turbulent for thousands of years because of the Illusory Clan, until the Illusory Clan disappears from the eyes of the world and becomes a legend completely.
The world thought that the Illusory Clan was extinct, but in fact it was not. At that time, the remaining more than ten Phantom Clansmen united and fled to the depths of the Yueliu Mountains, and through nearly 10,000 years of recuperation, they also multiplied to more than 100 people......
Shi Sui was the young master of the Phantom Clan, but he himself didn't know why he was the young master. Maybe it's because of the innate stone veins that he can't cultivate; Xu was suffering from a serious illness and needed to take blood; Maybe it's because his parents died when he was a child...... Maybe it's just that the people pity him.
β¦β¦
There was a sudden jolting sensation beneath him, which woke up Shi Sui, who was unconscious due to the sequelae of teleportation.
The thin sunlight hit the white cheeks through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and there was a warm touch, but what was deeper was the body temperature of the person in front of him.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a messy black hair, was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously leaned back.
"Huh!" Holding Shi Sui's hips, a hand held up his waist and almost stopped the tragic situation of the two of them who were about to fall to the ground with Shi Sui as a cushion.
"Who are you?"
"Are you awake?"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and one of them had a crisp voice, like a mountain spring hitting a stone in the water; A person's voice was low, as if the night wind was blowing through the mountains and forests.
After a moment of silence, the man was the first to speak, "I am the hunter under the mountain, and when I saw you unconscious in the grass, I carried you down. β
"Thank you. But," Shi Sui let go of his hand around the man's neck, "you can let me go." β
Without thinking, the man refused, "No, you're hurt." Right now, the mountain road is rough, so it's better for me to carry you on my back. β
The man's mind flashed back to the scene he had seen earlierβhe was chasing after him with the smell of blood, thinking it was a wounded monster, and he picked up the grass only to find a person lying down.
The pure white clothes were stained with blood, coagulated into a dark red in some places, and only a pale pink in other places. The young man's cheeks were also rubbed with blood, and his skin became more and more white as jade.
And the young man's brows were frowned, and his breathing was not very steady, he expected to be injured, but because he was in the mountains, he was worried that the blood would attract demon beasts, so he just hurriedly examined it, although he only found a scar with a few visible bones in the palm of his right hand, but the blood marks all over his body were really shocking, and people had to worry about whether there were small but deep wounds on his body, or internal injuries.
However, he found that the boy had no worries about his life, so he decided to carry it down the mountain first, and then carefully examine the injuries on the boy's body.
Shi Sui frowned, he didn't expect the man to react like this, and immediately put his hands against the man's back, but unexpectedly there was a tingling sensation in the palm of his right hand, and he exhaled in pain.
The man hurriedly said, "You are injured, don't move, lest the wound crack." β
Only then did he realize that his right hand was bandaged with a sackcloth, and there was a faint sense of coolness from the wound. Shi Sui's brows were slightly relaxed, but he still said coldly: "Let me go." β
The man had no choice but to support Shi Sui's buttocks with one hand and Shi Sui's back with the other, and said, "The mountain road here is too steep, I'll find a gentle place." β
Shi Sui didn't insist, but he still maintained the posture of propping himself up, looking at the situation around him with his eyes wide open.
The wind blows the branches and leaves, bringing a rustling sound. Suddenly, a leaf with withered yellow and slightly curled edges fell from the branch, and Shi Sui stretched out his hand and happened to fall into his palm.
The temperature of the sun enters the palm of the hand, carrying with it the vitality that is about to pass away. The wind continued to drift through the forest, and the leaves swayed up and down in the palms of Shi Sui's spread out, but they did not fly away, and the tremors seemed to alternate between birds and insects.
