The snow is so cold that it freezes the season.

Even though it was already night, the white crystals still fell, and the world was as dead as if it had entered an ice age.

But it is completely in line with common sense, after all, it is indeed the winter season, and it belongs to the earth's climate 1,300 years ago. No matter how you look at it, the snow doesn't violate any meteorological laws, especially since it's always the case these days, and it often falls from time to time.

It can be said that it is neither accidental nor abrupt, and if there is any difference, it is only that the snow is a little ...... tonight Make people care.

How to put it, it was a sudden whim, but it was not meaningless for the metaphysical perception possessed by the fourth order.

Therefore, Mu Xiu stood up from the side of the fire and gently placed a finished rune stone on the warm animal skin felt next to it. Then he glanced into the lattice, and through the unsealed window, he saw the darkness outside the room, which should have been gray but white—

So, he decided to go out as a matter of course.

At this time, it was about midnight, and the fields, mountains, forests, villages, and even the whole land seemed to have fallen into a peaceful sleep.

Only the black sky had white shards, fluttering and falling like feathers.

Pushing open the door and stepping out, the boy walked directly into the silver world outside the house, walking in the falling snow in this silent white night.

There is no particular purpose.

I just had a hunch, so I went to that place.

It was as if it were just an aimless walk in silence, as if it was going all the way to the end of the gray and wide night. But I don't know when, Mu Xiu has already come to the lake near the village, and then when he saw the scenery in front of him, he was slightly stunned.

Because he had been here once a few days ago, but remembered that the whole lake was covered with snow and ice. The surface of the lake melted into crystal clear ice, and under the sunlight of the time, it seemed to reflect the holy light, which was daunting.

But now, the clear surface of the lake is like a mirror reflecting the whole world.

And, there she is—

A girl with long black hair and waist-length hair is standing quietly by the lake, seemingly staring blankly at the miraculous beauty in front of her. She just stood there, and a noble and elegant princess temperament emanated.

“……”

Maybe it's because of the extremely beautiful snow and the bright lake, the scene in front of me is too beautiful.

Even Mu Xiu couldn't help but be in a trance for a moment, and then he came back to his senses, and his eyes seemed to have a hint of abruptness. But even so, he still subconsciously held his breath, for fear that the slightest movement would shatter the silence.

The snow that fell silently melted into the darkness.

…… After a long silence.

She finally slowly turned her gaze, and then sighed softly, as if she was very helpless, and the words leaked out of her lips in a low voice: "...... You're here anyway. ”

This girl with long straight black hair over the waist and a Ji hairstyle has the image of Yamato Nadeshiko as a whole, and she wins with overwhelming beauty and temperament compared to any girl Mu Xiu has seen before.

——It is no exaggeration to say that it is like the most perfect interpretation of the concept of existence of women, a beautiful girl in the true sense.

In the past, Mu Xiu just felt that no matter what, no matter how natural a person was, there should be a limit, but now he was completely unable to see this limit in the other party.

If he thought it was the tranquility and extreme beauty of the snow scene in Minghu before, which reflected the other party, then after the girl looked back, this idea had directly changed to a diametrically opposite extreme thinking direction.

However, it is not enough to lose his soul, and even the moment he heard Penglai Mountain Huiye speak, he immediately reacted attentively, and secretly raised his vigilance.

In the next moment-

A wisp of clear light flashed in the princess's hand, and an inexplicable power spread directly in all directions, radiating to a farther place beyond the limit of Mu Xiu's perception in an instant.

Immediately after, Mu Xiu felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world, and it was just a moment that he sensed that something was not quite right.

Because the snowflakes that were falling leisurely around them seemed to suddenly become a barrage of ghost animals, falling from the sky frantically, and then landing in an instant.

It seems that the world has turned on the game mode all of a sudden, and it is still the kind of barrage game where even the metamorphosis version of Contra can be cleared with one life, and the great gods can only kneel directly.

Although Mu Xiu himself didn't have any strange feelings, he reacted instantly with a conditioned reflex, and whether it was his own time slowing down or the time in the outside world speeding up, the result was the same.

However, without waiting for him to think of any good way, he just subconsciously entered the state of the maximum safety limit of the liberation of the forbidden area of life, and he felt some abnormal throbbing feeling in the depths of his genes and soul.

At the same moment, a special wave belonging to the demonic power appeared on him, gently smoothing out another conceptual force that was in action, and even the void seemed to appear as clear ripples and ripples......

To put it mildly, that is to say, it is too late and that is fast, anyway, it is only a few seconds in Mu Xiu's subjective consciousness, and everything in his perception has already returned to normal.

He raised his eyebrows, this seems to be the effect of Purple's technique? Not only can you complete your own internal realm, but you can also balance the role of external forces with the nature of the realm?

It seems like a very powerful persistent buff, so it's no wonder she looked so tired and weak after casting the spell.

Then, he didn't have time to think about it more, because Mu Xiu was stunned to find that this was not even finished, and there was a deeper "chemical reaction" that was rapidly happening in his body-

As if he had been touched by these two conceptual forces, Mu Xiu felt that something had arisen in his soul.

Although it was only an extremely faint light at the beginning, it was like a seed of possibility, slowly growing bigger and stronger, thriving, and finally growing to the point of constantly turning and speeding in the body, and then finally overflowing!

If Yakumo Zi temporarily completed the foundation of his existence through the technique of realm power, and only repaired the foundation, then the direct intervention of the eternal power of Penglai Mountain Kaguya was the most critical catalytic effect. Because the former is like preparing firewood, so that he really has the possibility of burning, but the latter is really igniting the fire......

It's as if the souls are all sublimated in an instant, reaching a strange nature that can distort the law—

A rising twilight-like flame light appeared on the surface of Mu Xiu's body, and then burned quietly, no heat, no radiation, just like an illusory and delicate hologram.

However, it was not Mars that burst out, but countless words full of unknown meaning, no matter from what point of view, they were extremely weird, except for the form of flames, other aspects had nothing to do with flames.

Suddenly, everything came to a standstill.

Mu Xiu was slightly stunned again, and then his attention couldn't help but be diverted.

He looked at the flame light on his body strangely, and then raised his hand and moved it for a moment, carefully understanding the feeling at the moment. It was a strange feeling, as natural as blood and breath, and it didn't need to be consumed.

As long as you can still think, you can "think", and you still have the will, you can liberate this power, and you will no longer seem to have no connection with each other as before, and there is no way to control it at all...... However, at present, it can only be initially controlled, to the extent of passive defense.

Unable to do more with this power.

The quietly burning flames turned into a tangible and insubstantial dim light, gradually wrapping around Mu Xiu's body, repelling some strange power fluctuations, making it difficult for that strange ability to break through the wall and work on him.

“……”

The black straight girl frowned slightly, but she didn't have too much surprise, but she no longer tried to use the concept of "whiskers" to restrict the other party, but turned the distance between herself and the other party into "forever" in a blink of an eye.

Then she looked up haughtily: "Rude, what do you want to do?" ”

Mu Xian was staring at the dim light curtain that seemed to be around him, thoughtful. It seems that this is really the light of the soul, and the real ability seems to involve "time", otherwise it will not be really stimulated because of the ability of Penglai Mountain Kaguya, and take the initiative to fight.

However, what he was really struggling with was that he really had the qualifications to have the individualized spiritual light at the fourth-order primary stage that he had not yet fully obtained? The initial use as a defense is understandable, but depending on the situation, it seems that the distance to complete personalization is also very fast!

There is also the fact that this kind of power is said to be dormant in the depths of the soul, but it is often a strong will or obsession that can only be triggered, when is it ......

His mind was messy, and Mu Xiu, who was still thinking nonsense, heard the girl's cold voice, raised his head and returned to reality, and immediately pulled the corners of his mouth.

“…… Isn't that what you want to do? ”

"The concubine has lived here before you, and all her actions are just a simple avoidance and self-preservation."

Penglai Shan Huiye frowned imperceptibly, looked at the other party's expression, and then said: "On the contrary, it is you, who have been staying in the local area since hearing about the deeds of the concubine, even if the concubine has avoided you many times, she still repeatedly comes to the door...... Isn't that ill-intentioned? ”

“……”

The corners of Mu Xiu's mouth twitched slightly, it seemed that this was really the case. He ignored this detail, and always felt that he had never met the princess at all, and thought that it was the first time they had met.

However, in fact, since the other party always avoids him, he must be well aware of his several visits, and it is estimated that the first impression is not very good at the beginning.

“…… This, in fact, is like this......"

After hesitating for a moment, quickly thinking of various reasons in his mind, Mu Xiu subconsciously took a step forward, and then found that the distance between himself and the black long straight girl standing by the lake did not change in the slightest. Because the power of eternity just now acts directly on himself, and now the relative distance between the two has become "eternity".

Mu Xiu's Psychic Light Defense could only ensure that he himself would not be easily influenced, and there was no way to do more.

However, at this time, there was a sound behind him, Mu Xiu subconsciously said nothing, and when he looked back, he saw the old man Sanzaki Zakumaro walking over while panting for air and leaning on crutches, with a distant expression that seemed to be very surprised.

“…… Y-What are you doing here? Old man, I'll tell you how to wake up, and the old woman said you're not in the house over there......"

"Zaomalu, you don't have to worry too much, it's just a matter of the concubine and this Excellency...... Go back and rest first! ”

Penglai Shan Kapaya frowned, not expecting that Taketori Weng would come over at this time. She understood that it was because she had just fallen back into this world from "forever", and that that was the reason why the old couple had noticed it.

But the current situation is not very good no matter how you look at it, what if the danger on the other side exists, and directly tear off the face and grab the hostage?

Mu Xiu didn't do this, he just blinked his eyes with interest, and the legend he found was still very different from reality. It seems that this Kaguya and Taketori are not father-daughter relationships, but more like a strange relationship of mutual respect.

Mt. Taketori Kaguya maintained a respectful attitude towards Taketori, but he didn't call him his father, and although Sanuki didn't use an honorific title, he inevitably had a sense of respect for Mt. Takerai in his words.

It seems like a family member is not a family, and it is like a master servant but not a master servant.
