Ouyang Xiaoleng was not angry, because he knew that it would be useless to be angry at this time, it would only be a waste of time, he hurriedly asked Qianqi: "Can you tell me what happened?" What's the clue now? ”

"Judging from the clues I found, it should be the Rakshasa Mother who kidnapped Xia Qiu, and she deceived us by pretending to be a prophet. But I know that Mother Rakshasa eats human flesh every few hours, so she shouldn't be able to go far with Xia Qiu, and she likes to use the stone caves on the rock wall as nests, but I don't know much about the terrain around Yongchuan. The Thousand Riders told everything he knew and thought.

"Mother Rakshasa again! Then I know who to ask. Ouyang Xiaoleng was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then he had an idea, he turned around and hurriedly walked down the mountain, while Qianqi and Snow Rabbit followed him.

"Brother Xiao Leng, where are we going?" Snow Rabbit asked, a little confused.

Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't care about answering Snow Rabbit's question at all, but was in a hurry to find Xia Qiu, for fear that she would be killed by the Rakshasa Mother a second late. He rushed all the way to the two-life corridor where the demon world was connected to the human world, and the manzhu sawa on both sides was still bewitching, and the blood-like color spread to the endless sky and then connected to the purple sky.

"Manjoo, Sahua!" Ouyang Xiaoleng called out the names of the pair of flower demon sisters.

Soon the laughter like silver bells sounded again, and the two puppet-like sisters swayed from the sea of flowers hand in hand, and they sang and said in harmony: "It's rare that Lord Xiao Leng took the initiative to call our names, and he was so loud, I am really happy." ”

"yes, yes, he used to ignore us even when he passed through here."

"I just want to ask you, have you heard anything about Mother Rakshasa lately?" Ouyang Xiaoleng interrupted them bluntly.

"Mother Rakshasa ." One of the sisters began to tremble.

"It's scary." The other was also upset.

"She will retaliate against her for speaking out about her, and we are no match for her."

"She will drink our blood first, and then eat our bodies bit by bit."

"You don't have to be afraid, I swear I will eradicate her completely, and I will never let her endanger you." Ouyang Xiao hurriedly comforted, at this time, he didn't care at all how humble the identity of the flower demon was in his heart, and he had to let go of his dignity in order to save Xia Qiu.

"As the son of the Amber Dragon King, I can also assure you that my warriors are camped in the square not far away, and they will be able to guarantee your safety." The Thousand Riders also chimed in.

"That'...... We have a little question, and if you answer it, we'll tell you what we know about Mother Rakshasa ”

"Excuse me." Ouyang Xiaoleng completely lowered his figure.

"As long as you can guess who is Manju and who is Sahua."

"Yes, as long as you can guess, it proves that Lord Xiao Leng has paid attention to us, then we will have no regrets even if we are broken for this."

Ouyang Xiaoleng was a little stumped, because Manzhu and Sha Hua were twin sisters, not only did they have similar appearances, but also very similar voices, and he had never paid attention to which of the two of them was completely blind during the day, so how could he guess. When he was in trouble, one of the snow rabbit's hands was on his left shoulder, although it was just a normal action, but it made him feel that if he guessed correctly, it was the snow rabbit who was giving him a hint, but how to understand her hint, left shoulder, left, so the one on the left that is invisible is Manzhu, then the one on the right is Shahua, he can't care so much, he can only challenge it.

"Well," Ouyang Xiaoleng looked back and forth left and right pretending to think, and finally stopped his gaze on the left, "You are Manzhu, and the other one is Shahua." ”

The two sisters were stunned for a moment, and then cheered excitedly: "Lord Xiao Leng guessed right, he really guessed right." ”

"He's been keeping an eye on us."

"Alright, now you can tell me what you know about Mother Rakshasa right?" Ouyang Xiaoleng couldn't wait.

"Good...... Since some time ago, there have been ghost slaves who have secretly transported human corpses to the demon realm, and we saw them in the dark. Manjoo's voice trembled a little.

"Yes, we will listen to their conversation and know that they are the Rakshasa Mother's men." Sha Hua followed.

"They complained that Mother Rakshasa had to eat human flesh every few hours, so that they had to go to the human world in search of prey continuously, and they didn't even have time to rest."

"Moreover, they must also carry the corpses to a cave in the eastern wall of the barren mountain outside the royal city."

"Yes, in order not to attract the attention of others, they have to go far and far, walking in the rocky hills that are extremely difficult to walk, so as to hide their whereabouts."

"If you don't give human flesh to Mother Rakshasa in time, those subordinates may be eaten by her."

"The barren mountains to the east, it looks like we have to make a trip." Qianqi looked to the east and said.

"Well, thank you very much." Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded in agreement, and then thanked Manzhu Shahua.

This move really surprised Snow Rabbit, replaced by the former Brother Xiao Leng, not to mention such a humble flower demon, even if Ouyang Hongye or Grandpa Yong did something for him, he rarely said a word of thanks, but for the sake of that human girl, he was able to do this, Snow Rabbit's heart suddenly felt a little sour, but it was not on her face, she smiled slightly and nodded and said, "I know a shortcut, come with me!" ”

Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi followed the snow rabbit into the air, flew over Yongchuan, and began to circle when they flew to the barren mountain to the east of Yongchuan. There are many caves on the rock face, large and small, of different shapes, which do not seem to differ from the outside.

"Mother Rakshasa will definitely lay an enchantment outside the cave to camouflage her lair." Qianqi said.

"Let's go separately, be careful, don't act rashly, the power of the Rakshasa Mother is extremely strong, especially the Snow Rabbit, you are not her opponent." Ouyang Xiaoleng thought about it and instructed.

"Once I find it, how can I let you know, Brother Xiao Leng?" Snow Hare asked.

The Thousand Riders took the lead in conjuring out three crystal clear flakes from his hand, which at first glance looked like fish scales, but they were much larger than fish scales, and the color was like a shell, emitting a strange light under the reflection of the purple sky. He handed out two pieces to Xiao Leng and Snow Rabbit respectively: "This is my father's dragon scales, because they have been connected to my father's body for thousands of years, so they have the ability to communicate with each other, as long as you hold it tightly and try to imagine the person you want to communicate with, they will have a sense, so that the other party holding the dragon scale can also know the information you think in your heart." ”

"Well, I see!" The snow rabbit clutched the dragon scales handed by the thousand horses, "Then I'll go to the bottom to look for it!" ”

"Be careful!" Ouyang Xiaoleng also clenched the dragon scales in his hand, "I'll be looking for it in the cave in the middle of the city." ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the top."

As soon as Qianqi's words fell, the three of them also said goodbye and went to the mountains to find them.

After Xia Qiu was caught in the whirlpool and lost consciousness, when he woke up again, he found himself lying on the desk in the classroom, and his previous memories about the demon world and even about Ouyang Xiaoleng had become extremely blurry, as if it was just a dream, and he couldn't retell it clearly when he woke up.

She felt her eyes tingle with the sunlight shining in from the window, and she narrowed her eyes, but tears came from her eyes and slid down her cheeks onto the book under her arm. She raised her head and found that it should be self-study time, the classroom was surprisingly quiet, everyone was lying on the table reading a book or writing homework, and Liu Lingmei and Du He were also in their respective positions. Seeing the two of them made her feel relieved, but she didn't know why she looked back inertly, and when she saw that the seat behind her was empty, she realized that no one had sat there since the start of school.

When the bell rang for the end of class, she stretched, thinking that she might have just woken up, so her brain was spinning so slowly. As soon as she saw that the other classmates had begun to pack their schoolbags, she remembered that the next day was the National Day, and she would leave school early today, and the first day of the holiday would start tomorrow, so she quickly followed suit.

Before she could clean it up, Liu Lingmei came over and asked, "Xiaoqiu, what are you going to do later?" ”

Before Xia Qiu could figure out how to answer her, Du He came over and proposed, "Let's go to the movies!" ”

"Yes, yes." Liu Lingmei agreed.

Xia Qiu smiled and nodded, but she was still thinking about the dream she had just had, she always felt that some of the links in her memory were not connected, but she couldn't think of what went wrong.

The streets were already filled with the atmosphere of the National Day, the colorful flags broke the monotony of the dead leaves, and it looked no different from previous years, Xia Qiu's hand was held tightly by Liu Lingmei, and the temperature was transmitted from the palm of her hand to her body. For so many years, Liu Lingmei still smiled as brightly as when she first met, chattering non-stop while Du He smiled and followed aside.

The windows on the commercial street one by one, flashing with colorful colors, beautiful but a little unreal, Xia Qiu walked while watching Liu Lingmei, Du He and his own shadow reflected in the window in a daze, suddenly a pair of gray-blue pupils flashed in the window, it was the face of a young man without any expression, but it seemed to have a kind of magic that could pull people into the window.

She stopped, there was no shadow of the boy in the window, she hurriedly looked behind her, but she didn't see the boy, she didn't understand why she was so flustered and lost because she couldn't find the boy, she was just a stranger, but he was so attracted to her.

"Xiaoqiu, are you okay? Why is your face so ugly? Liu Lingmei asked with concern.

"Well, nothing." Xia Qiu smiled bitterly, feeling that he was really acting strangely today, unusual, obviously it was a holiday and he had friends by his side, how could he feel such a loss for a non-existent figure.

"Hurry up, hurry up, go see what movie is there." Du He changed the subject.

There was a shelf full of posters in front of the movie theater, Liu Lingmei wanted to watch "The Dream of the Covered Bridge", Xia Qiu didn't understand why the movie theater would still show such an old film, but when she saw Liu Lingmei's excitement and thought that this was indeed a classic film, she and Du He agreed.

Sitting in the screening room, looking at the two protagonists on the big screen, in love but separated, Xia Qiu felt that his heart was also depressed. It seems that she is the heroine, obviously she has never been in love, why does it resonate with the plot in the movie? Coming out of the movie theater, the depressed mood could no longer be released, Xia Qiu suddenly wanted to go to the Yongchuan Forest to take a walk to relax, even if it was just to sit by the lake, so he insisted on saying goodbye to Liu Lingmei and Du He, and walked to the Yongchuan Forest alone.

This forest is still the same as every time I visited, although the leaves have turned yellow and the flowers have withered, it still makes summer and autumn feel relaxed. It's always been her favorite place, and whenever she's in a bad mood, she feels like she's automatically charged when she sits by the lake for a while.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on the surface of the lake, and the breeze shimmered with golden waves, although it was autumn, it was not very cool, and even the wind blowing by the lake was tinged with warmth. Xia Qiugang felt that Fang Cai's tangled mood began to slowly calm down, and when she turned around inadvertently, she saw a figure dangling in the forest, the figure was unfamiliar and familiar, and she couldn't help but want to follow and see what he looked like. She got up and chased after her, and before she knew it, she came to an open field, and saw a huge plum tree growing in the middle of the open field, and the plum blossoms on the tree were opening at an untimely time, and the figure she was following stood under that tree.

It was the back of a young man in a white robe, with a pair of fox ears on his silver hair, Xia Qiu shook his head vigorously, wondering if he was hallucinating, but the figure was still standing there. The strangest thing was that she didn't have a trace of fear in her heart except curiosity, she was just attracted by the beautiful back, and her feet approached him unobediently.

When she finally came to him, the silver-haired boy under the tree noticed her presence, and turned to face her, her gray-blue eyes so deep and melancholy, she was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was not the face of the boy she had seen in the window.

"You're finally here." The young man said to Xia Qiu, although there was no expression on his face, his tone was so gentle, it sounded like he had already known her.

"You know me?" Xia Qiu asked.

"That's what you forgot about me? And ask me if I know you? The young man asked rhetorically, and Xia Qiu couldn't say any more, so he opened his arms and hugged her tightly.

Xia Qiu wanted to break free from the boy's embrace, but her body couldn't exert her strength, and she indulged in the warmth and tranquility brought to her by that embrace, sinking deeper and deeper. She felt that her whole heart had never been so full of mixed feelings and happiness as it was at this moment? Happiness? Fear? Expect? Miss? Sad...... She couldn't find any words in her mind to describe her feelings, she just wished that time would stand still in this moment so that she could stay in this embrace forever.

After a long time, the young man slowly let go of his arms, put his hands on her shoulders and said to her: "You do not belong to this world, everything here is false and does not exist. Remember, you must come back, come back to me, you must get back the memories that belong to us, I will be waiting for you! Wait! ”

A gust of wind blew, and the plum blossoms of the trees withered in an instant, and the petals were tossed into the air with the wind. Xia Qiu raised her head and saw the rain of petals flying in the wind and was fascinated, and when she came back to her senses, the young man in white was gone, and all that was left in front of her was the bare plum tree trunk and scattered petals. She looked around anxiously, but there was no sign of the boy anywhere, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart, the pain that made it difficult to breathe, and tears blurred her vision.

Her mind kept repeating the last words of the boy, what did he mean by that? Must go back? Where to go back? Must come back to him? And who is he? What exactly is their memory? Why is he waiting for himself? All these doubts swallowed her like an endless sea.

When she got home, Xia Qiu locked herself in her room, rummaging through the corners of the room like crazy, and she had a gut feeling that she might be able to find some clues to explain everything that was bothering her. The blue headband in the desk drawer immediately attracted her, the hairband had a little dark red mark on it, she held the hairband in her hand and looked at it carefully, the dark red mark looked like it had been stained with blood earlier.

She desperately remembered whether she had used the headband to bandage her wounds, and how the silver-haired boy with fox ears had connected to the headband. The young man's gray-blue eyes always lingered on her, and they coincided with the eyes of the silver fox in the depths of her memory, yes! It was the silver fox she rescued from a pack of black foxes when she was six years old, and she used this hairband to help him bandage his wounds. And that young man is precisely this little silver fox, and many years later he came to her side again, he should have a name that matches his appearance, but what is that name? The young man who looks as cold as ice and snow hides a gentle heart, and that gentleness is the only one she knows best, how can she forget him? She gradually recalled the bits and pieces of the time she was with him, and searched for the traces of these clues in the tunnel of memory, and finally she remembered the name that she couldn't forget when she heard it for the first time, the name that belonged to the silver-haired boy - Ouyang Xiaoleng.

"Oh, by the way, I was originally hanging out in Yongchuan in the demon world with Qianqi, and then I accidentally walked into a small shop and met the old woman called the Divine Prophet, but she was pulled into darkness." Xia Qiu suddenly said to herself.

As she retrieved all her memories and thoughts, everything around her shattered, scattered, and disappeared like glass, and she found herself sitting alone in the darkness, accompanied by endless cold and loneliness. She felt fear and despair, she tried to shout Ouyang Xiaoleng's name loudly, but only to hear her voice echo in the emptiness, and finally disappeared, without any response.
