Chapter 263: The Red Deer and the Indigo Bird

Hundreds of years ago, the hidden pines, the endless mountain peaks have four distinct seasons, and countless creatures live and reproduce here.

A little indigo bird flew to the mountain from far north and was attracted by the beauty and pleasant climate. But what really made him decide to stay was that he was pleasantly surprised to find another indigo.

Although this kind of bird is common in the world, it is not the same in the demon world, and the indigo bird that came from afar has not yet remembered, and it has somehow separated from its family, and this is the first time it has seen a bird exactly like itself. They soon became best friends, foraging and frolicking in the mountains for food, enjoying all that the mountains had to offer.

It wasn't until the giant bobcat spotted them, and was fascinated by their beautiful feathers that they would be the most delicious delicacy, so he laid an ambush under the tree where the two indigo birds were nesting, and decided to wait for the right time to kill them.

Eventually, the giant lynx came up with a good idea, and it slammed itself into the tree, causing a huge vibration that caused the nest to fall from its branches. Xiao Xiao, who did not know the situation, went to check under the tree like his companions, because it was the home they had spent a lot of effort to build, and it was even more difficult for them to give up after putting so much effort into it.

But the lynx took advantage of this opportunity to attack them, and it attacked Xiao Xiao first, while its companion, who had thought he was like a member of his family, abandoned him and fled for his life. Although Xiaoxiao can understand that his companions are naturally timid like himself, he still has a little resentment. It just didn't want to die alone, because it would be no different from the days when it was wandering around.

When it opened its eyes again, it saw the same scene as before, lying under the tree where it and its companions had nested, and its body was lighter than ever. It spreads its wings, flies into the air, and circles around the mountains looking for its companions, listening to what may be the chirping of their companions. It just wants to hear an explanation from its most trusted and beloved companion, but it knows that whatever it says, it will forgive it.

It couldn't remember how long it had been wandering in the mountains, but it didn't see its companion again, but it also found that it didn't seem to be able to sense its presence as if any other living being. Even as it flew around in front of them, they were indifferent. It couldn't say why, it had to try again and again, and finally had to give up.

It doesn't feel hungry or tired, it doesn't feel the temperature of the mountains, but it feels like a huge hole has been carved out of its heart, and it can only blindly search for it in the mountains, but it doesn't know what it is looking for.

After it had rubbed shoulders with countless animals, a pair of beautiful brown eyes finally focused on it, and it understood that this was what it was trying to find.

The eyes came from a little red deer, which stared at Xiao Xiao for a long time, and then said with endless sadness in his eyes: "Poor little one, don't you know that you are actually dead?" ”

"I ...... Already dead?! Xiao Xiao repeated the words of the little red deer.

It suddenly remembered many things, including fragments of memories from its own childhood.

At that time, it and its siblings had just been hatched, and the nest that had been built on the top of the tree fell to the ground due to the strong wind, and the parents did not know how to move them back to the tree.

The parents did their best, even sacrificing their own lives to protect them, but in the end, they died with their siblings at the hands of the bobcat. Only the smallest of the litter, which escaped because the lynx was frightened by some kind of noise, survived and saved a life.

When it remembered these things, it was sure that the little red deer was right, that he was indeed dead, and that no wonder no matter how hard it tried, no one else could notice it. But at the same time, questions also appeared, and it looked at the little red deer curiously and asked, "You say that I am dead, but why can you see me?" ”

"It's not just you, I can see all the souls!"

The little red deer's tone was so calm and calm, even though he knew that Xiaoxiao was dead, he was not afraid, which made Xiaoxiao want to rely on it more and more.

"Can I be your companion?" A little tentatively asked.

"Of course! My name is Chu He! What about you? The little red deer agreed to the small plea.

"Tiny!"

Since then, Xiaoxiao has found a place to stay, that is, on the antlers of the little red deer, the shape of the antlers and branches are somewhat similar, and its antlers are exclusive to it. Unlike its previous companions, the little red deer always carefully protects the little one and never lets him out of his sight.

Because of Chu He's meticulous care, Xiaoxiao will often forget the fact that he has died, and it has always regarded it as having life. During the day, he takes him for walks in the forest, and at night, he snuggles up to warm him, helps him find food, and picks some beautiful wildflowers for him from time to time.

Time is as quiet as water, flowing between every tree, every spring, every animal, and even every stone in the Hidden Pine Mountain. Before I knew it, many years had passed, and the seal that had been placed on the Origin Sin Blood Pool suddenly loosened, and the dispersion of evil forces began to threaten the entire forest, which also attracted the Celestial God Qiansu to personally go to the Hidden Pine to check the situation.

As soon as he reached the Hidden Pine, he was attracted by the beauty of the mountains, and most of all he was attracted by the ghost of a young red deer and the indigo bird that accompanied him, a wonderful combination that seemed so harmonious, and that the bird naturally fell into his hand after discovering that the god could see him.

This was the most beautiful indigo bird he had ever seen, so he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and decided to give it healing and protective powers, and make it the god of the Matsuyama Temple that he was about to build. With just a touch between his fingers, his body suddenly changed, taking on not only physical but also human form.

The little figure of the human girl who transformed into a human girl was very petite and cute, and she was full of gratitude to the god Qiansu, but when she turned around and saw Chu He still standing behind her, she pleaded with the god Qiansu again: "Lord Qiansu, I beg the merciful you to also give Chu He strength!" ”

The god Qiansu originally felt that the red deer in front of him was full of aura, so he simply agreed to a small request and transformed Chu He into a tall young man. As a waiter, he has the ability to fight, while Xiaoxiao, as a godmaster, can use his singing voice to heal the wounds of others or increase his defensive abilities. In this way, they can still live in the Matsuyama Shrine for a long time, and they can accompany each other while guarding the shrine.

The past experience made Xiaoxiao always inexplicably worried that one day when the catastrophe came, Chu He would abandon her like her past partner, but the facts proved her wrong again and again.

I remember that the first time they encountered a strong enemy was when they first started to protect the temple, and the stone monster who had just become a demon got a tribute out of nowhere, and entered the temple with the help of the tribute. Although Chu He had the power bestowed by the gods, he lacked experience and was not resolute enough when he struck, so he was soon at a disadvantage.

Xiao Xiao continued to increase his defense with singing, and counted down in his heart, Chu He would soon leave him, after all, it was only her willfulness to make him a waiter, she just didn't want to be alone. But now that danger is coming, how can he guarantee that he won't leave her powerless for his own life?!

Chu He could hear her anxiety in her small singing voice, because she had told him that she had been abandoned by her friends before she died. That is, after hearing what happened to her, he decided to guard her until the last moment no matter what happened.

"Tiny, sing for me intently! Don't worry, I won't leave you alone! He continued to fight while comforting Xiaoxiao, comforting her while also cheering himself up.

Xiao Xiao became firm by Chu He's words, and she concentrated her strength more into her singing, the blue light formed by her singing enveloped Chu He, and formed a protective film on his body, and his movements became more fluid and stretched.

The stone demon was finally defeated and fled from the Songshan Temple in a panic, which also made Xiaoxiao and Chu He breathe a sigh of relief. Xiao Xiao treated the wounds on Chu He's body on the one hand, and kept crying. He put his arms around her skinny shoulders to stop the shivering of her shoulders from sobbing.

"Don't cry, you see, I haven't left you, everything is the same as before!"

"It's because you didn't leave me that I feel sad! It's all my fault that my strength is too weak, and it will only become a burden to you. Watching you get hurt to protect me is more painful for me than watching you leave safely! ”

"Silly boy, in the same way, it is much more painful for me to leave you alone than for me to fight to the death for you!"

After that, the Matsuyama Temple was attacked several times, but no matter how strong the enemy was, Chu He fulfilled his duties as a waiter and his promise as a friend, and always protected Xiao Xiao from any harm.

But the arrival of Qingyun made them have to separate. Before his arrival, the Songshan Temple had been calm for a long time, but even if no enemies appeared, Chu He would still insist on training himself every day, and his ability had been continuously improving.

Besides, Qingyun and they did not directly attack the temple, but took advantage of the innocence of a little who was not deeply involved in the world, when she became the god master, she had heard the god god Qiansu tell who the other three god masters were, and when the god lords who had been occupied by the gods suddenly all appeared outside the gate of the Songshan Temple, she invited them in defenselessly.

The person who entered the temple with them was Qingyun, and when they entered and looked, they found that there were only two in the temple, Xiaoxiao and Chu He, so they no longer concealed it and directly began to attack them. Chu He was no match for the three Divine Judgments at all, he was bent on protecting Xiao Xiao from retreating from the temple, and just when they were almost able to escape from the temple, Qingyun released an arrow at Xiao Xiao.

"Let's go!"

Chu He smiled at Xiao Xiao and pushed her away, and he was shot by the arrow. The arrow seemed to be poisonous, and it made him drowsy as soon as it melted into the blood, but he still used the last bit of strength to staggering to protect her in the direction of the gate.

Despite her pleas, he pushed her out of the temple gates, temporarily holding his body against the gate to buy her time to escape.

Frightened, Xiao Xiao somehow came to the outside of the temple, and she ran aimlessly forward for a long time before she remembered that the injured Chu He was still in the temple, and before she knew it, she had become like her former companions, abandoning her friends who had no chance of winning and running for her life alone.
