Chapter 311: The First Encounter in the Land of Blowing Snow

About one hundred and fifty years ago, Yongchuan, the king city of the demon world, ushered in another period of prosperity under the governance of the second-generation demon king fox Ouyang Xueye. Everyone gradually recovered from the pain of the death of the first demon king Huli, although the process took more than two hundred years.

At night, the shopping street is really lively. Paper lanterns of all colors are hung on both sides of the street, and on one side of the street are flexible temporary stalls selling strange gadgets, and on the other side are small shops that have been around for quite some time.

As soon as the lights come on, the local and foreign monsters who have come to the royal castle for various reasons will flood into the street, and they will continue to flow one after another, some of them resemble humans, some still retain the characteristics of animals, and some of them wear masks, inexplicably revealing a sense of mystery.

On this day, the streets were still bustling as it approached the hour, but all of a sudden, the cries of the vendors soliciting business and the chattering of the walking yokai seemed to suddenly fall silent, and the streets that had been flooded were also made a gap.

In the gap, the three sons came in a flutter, but from their appearance and clothing, they could guess that they were prominent. The three attracted almost all the attention of passers-by and vendors on both sides, and everyone talked about the origins of these three people.

The man in the middle is dressed in white, his long black hair is meticulously combed into a bun on the top of his head, the cut and accessories of the clothes are the most exquisite, and a pair of gray-blue eyes are as deep as the night sky, as if he can perceive people's hearts.

The man in red to his right seemed much more casual, he only used a strap to tie up a strand of hair at random and put it on his chest, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be smiling, and his posture was as graceful as a leaf floating in the wind when he walked.

The man in green holding the fan on the left has a temperament as warm as jade, his cheeks are white, his facial features are exquisite, his hair is finely braided from the top of his ears, and his expression is calm and peaceful, which just rightly combines the loneliness and frivolity of the other two.

"Snowy night, are we too ostentatious? Look, the people on the street are just looking at the three of us! Ouyang Hongye, who was dressed in red, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and complained with a little smugness.

"I don't know which one put so much wine in the palace and didn't drink it, so he had to take me and Tingyue to the tavern on the street to listen to a little song, and the key is to ask me for a treat!" The white clothes on Ouyang Xueye's body were spotless, even if she was ridiculing on her lips, she was silent on her face.

"The wine that should be drunk has been drunk, and the people who should have been invited to drink have also been invited, and it is time for us to go back." Tingyue closed the fan in his hand and swept his gaze to the youkai who stopped nearby, which caused a scream.

"Look at him, the most popular person turned out to be him!" Ouyang Hongye pointed at Tingyue and shook his head and said.

"That's not because one of you is deliberately pretending to be superior, and the other is deliberately pretending to be cynical." Tingyue retorted.

"I found that this wine is in my stomach, and listening to the moon ridiculing people's kung fu is rising, and it is usually difficult to hear him say a few more words." Ouyang Xue Ye almost couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha, Tingyue drank a little more today, don't delay the trip tomorrow." Ouyang Hongye followed and said.

"You think I'm you?!"

Tingyue's words caused a hearty laugh between them, even Ouyang Xueye couldn't hold back, in fact, he was also a very cheerful and casual person in private, but he was in the position of the lord of the demon world, and he had to try to make himself look as serious as possible in front of everyone.

Today's drinking party was actually prepared by him and Ouyang Hongye for Tingyue's practice, and Tingyue planned to set off alone the next day to play around the demon world, and it was also to confirm the rumors that Qingyun and his subordinates had started to act in various places again. He and the other two parted in front of the Wutong House, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in. Just as a gust of wind blew in his face, the wine became more and more intense, making his whole body shake twice.

Mochizuki was sitting alone on the swing in the yard, and when he saw him return, he greeted him and called, "Big brother! ”

"Mochizuki!" Tingyue responded to him with a smile, and the whole person leaned on him, one arm hooked around his neck.

"How much alcohol have you drunk? A smell of alcohol! Mochizuki asked with a little disdain.

"Not much, today the eldest brother is happy, the so-called wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants! I'll leave the city early tomorrow morning to go to all parts of the demon world, and if you're bored, go to the palace to find snow and autumn leaves. Tingyue replied with a smile.

"I can't play with them, so I might as well go to the old man."

"Only you dare to call Elder Yong that."

"You're out alone, be careful everywhere, big brother!" Mochizuki did not forget to advise.

Tingyue patted him on the shoulder with relief, thinking to herself that he not only had a good brother, but also two best friends, how lucky he was, and what other extravagant hopes could he have.

When he went out this time, he planned to take a detour to the land where the snow was blowing, the place where the snow was blown was where the Snow Maiden lived for generations, and he had some friendship with Xuechen, the most prestigious of the Snow Maidens, and he was half a friend. One of her skills is that she can use the wind blowing into the mountain to listen to the news outside, so maybe she can help them find the trail of Qingyun.

The mountain where the Snow Maiden lived for generations was once a paradise for them, and because of the barrier created by the ice spell, only a few people except the Snow Maiden were able to enter it. They spend most of their lives in snow-blowing fields, but since Snow Maidens can only give birth to females, occasionally some of them will go elsewhere in search of males in order to reproduce.

In Tingyue's eyes, they don't look like monsters, but more like elves born in the snow. They had hair as shiny as ebony, and skin as clear as snow, and their lips were like blood dripping on white silk. They are always dressed in colorful clothes chasing each other in the snow-blowing land, which is a gorgeous and dazzling scenery in the snow, and their ageless appearance and charming temperament are more like a legend.

It's been quite a while since Tingyue last came, and every time he first entered the snow-blowing land in the past, Xuechen would stand in the same position to greet him in her heavy and dignified white dress. Because she could hear the news of his arrival in the wind, she would iron a jug of wine for him in advance.

But this time, after Tingyue entered the land of blowing snow, she did not appear. Not only that, but he always felt that something was wrong, perhaps the north wind howling in the mountains was too strong, and the sound of the wind was like a woman's cry, which made people feel creepy.

Listening to the moon summoning away the demon horse, he subconsciously changed his weapon, he was different from Mochizuki, and he used a sickle moon-shaped scimitar alone. There were no butterflies of the Snow Maidens on the snow, only a few rags and ornaments torn from their clothes scattered on the ground, which made him even more sure that they had either left the place in a hurry or that something had happened to them.

Suddenly, a baby's cry pierced the cold wind, and he followed the cry, but found a huge puddle of snow not far away, from which the cry came. He poked his head over and shuddered at the snow pit, where all the corpses of the Snow Maidens were piled up, squeezed together in layers like withered flowers, and Xue Chen was among them.

He had to jump down in search of the weeping baby, and try not to look at the hideous expressions on their faces as he turned over the corpses of the Snow Maidens one after another. Finally, in the loose clothes of a snow girl, he found the baby girl, as if from the first sight, he had an inseparable emotion for this delicate and fragile little life as ice and snow.

"Why are there still crying?! Could it be that there was a fish that slipped through the net just now?! ”

A hoarse voice came from above Tingyue's head, alerting him that someone else had come to the snow pit as well.

One woman responded, "Won't it?!" Hurry up and dispose of her, lest Lord Qingyun blame her later! ”

Hearing them mention Qingyun's name, Tingyue knew that the only way left for him was to escape. It would take a lot of strength to be able to get rid of all of the Snow Maidens, and he would not be able to deal with such an enemy alone, not to mention that he had to ensure the safety of the baby girl.

He picked up the baby with his left hand and flew out of the snow pit with the corpses of the Snow Maidens. Facing the two people who were talking outside the snow pit, he was even more sure of how correct his decision was, these two people were the two generals of Qingyun, Yaksha and Rakshasa Mother. He held the baby tightly and flew in the opposite direction, but the two behind him pursued him.

"Can't let him escape!" Mother Rakshasa shouted.

"Hehe, I want to save the baby girl from under the two of us, and I don't weigh how many pounds and taels I have!"

Yaksha responded contemptuously, and the end of the staff in his hand immediately formed a rope with a loop at the top, heading towards the Listening Moon. Tingyue was inevitably caught by it, so he had to make a sudden turn in the middle of the flight.

At this time, the Rakshasa Mother also summoned her firearms and released several fire balls to him in a row, but she was also heard for more than a month, which provoked her to curse loudly: "Let him dodge again!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Yaksha smiled uglyly and flew the shield in one of his hands towards the moon. The shield was surrounded by sharp serrations, and when it rotated, it was a weapon that Tingyue had never dealt with before, and even if it dodged its initial path, it would still be chased by it. In addition, holding the baby in his arms also made his movements not as free as before, and he was accidentally cut a hole in his right arm by the flying shield.

The pain hit half of his body, and he gritted his teeth to keep the knife in his hand from falling off, but the speed of his flight continued to decrease. He thought that if he ran out of stamina and then they caught up, he and the baby would have no chance of surviving, so he decided to stop dodging and planned to fight them with a special move.

His special move, called Blind Moon Shadow, is best used at night, where he can use his rapidly changing sword technique to reflect the light of the moon in the eyes of his enemies, causing them to lose their eyesight for a short period of time, and take the opportunity to attack them. Although it was daytime, the light in the snow resembled the moonlight, so he planned to try it out, and when the other party was plunged into darkness, he could summon the demon horse and the baby to escape.
