The snow outside the tent was getting heavier and heavier, and the night was already deep, but the ghost Bodhi sitting in the tent didn't seem to be sleepy.

She didn't want to sleep, in fact she had slept for too long, she had been in a coma for most of her long life, so now she didn't want to sleep, she wanted to be awake and do everything in front of her, so that she could be sure that the final result would not deviate in any way from what she had hoped for.

So she sat down on the big chair made of mink in the tent, and thought calmly, thinking about every step that had taken place and every step that was to come about was wrong.

And supporting her to do these things is just some kind of obsession.

The obsession of giving yourself and the world a chance.

She remembered that many years ago, she had awakened from a long slumber, and she had walked out of the majestic and winding palace hidden deep underground, and she had stepped barefoot on the loess, looking at the sun in the sky and the birds in the forest, which she felt was the most beautiful thing of time.

So she walked through the dense forest, all the way, all the way.

Until she came to a city, she trotted into the city with excited steps, and the crowd in the city was surging, and there were vendors selling all kinds of things in the streets, and there were children on both sides of teasing, and there were martial arts walkers, everything was so strange that her eyes were straight.

Then she smelled a scent coming from the corner of the shop, and she was induced by the scent to walk to the door of the shop. As soon as she stood still, the shopkeeper greeted her warmly: "How about the little girl, do you want to taste the newly baked osmanthus cake?" ”

At that time, Ghost Bodhi saw such a thing for the first time in her life, and she didn't have too many doubts, so she nodded at that time, smiled sweetly at the shopkeeper and said, "Okay." ”

The shopkeeper naturally hurriedly handed the osmanthus cake to the ghost Bodhi, and the ghost Bodhi, who had been hungry all the way, didn't realize that he had him, opened his mouth and took a big bite of the pastry, and ate it with taste.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper also squinted and smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Seven Wen one." ”

Ghost Bodhi came back to her senses from the delicacy, and she winked at the shopkeeper, puzzled, "What?"

The shopkeeper's face changed, and he said again: "Osmanthus cake Qiwen one, if you eat my osmanthus cake, you naturally have to give me money." ”

Ghost Bodhi became more and more puzzled, she blinked her eyes again, and said, "But I don't have any money." ”

The smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared at that time, and he crossed his hands on his hips and shouted: "What do you eat if you don't have money, you don't learn well at a young age, how can you learn to eat overlord meals from others?"

Ghost Bodhi was a little scared, she couldn't understand why the shopkeeper who was still kind to her just now changed his face in an instant. She was at a loss for a while, and the shopkeeper obviously didn't want to let her go, so she walked out of the shop and rolled up her sleeves, and was about to walk towards Ghost Bodhi, and kept scolding in her mouth: "If you don't let this little liar know what it means to eat and give money today, it's only natural that I don't have to open this store." ”

The shopkeeper said, changing his posture to make a move on the ghost Bodhi.

And Ghost Bodhi had never seen such a battle, and he stood in place for a while.

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, my kid is not sensible, you can take this money. But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, and a monk stepped out at that time, blocking between the ghost Bodhi and the shopkeeper. As he spoke, he took out a stack of copper plates from his hand and placed them in the shopkeeper's hand.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously weighed the money string in his hand, how could there be as many as twenty yuan, he suddenly smiled, and he didn't have the heart to do it, but his eyes couldn't help but fall strangely on the monk who suddenly arrived, and looked up and down. Secretly strange words in his heart: How can this monk still have children?

"Daddy. And Ghost Bodhi saw the visitor and smiled in surprise at that time.

"Why didn't you wake up and come to Daddy, and ran out alone?" said the monk, although it was a blaming word, but the tone of the words did not have much blame, but was full of spoiling.

"In a daze, I came here unconsciously. The girl responded.

"Come, Daddy take you home. The monk took the girl's hand and walked out of the street.

"Daddy, the osmanthus cake is so delicious. ”

"Really, I'll bring you to eat next time you wake up." ”

"Good. But Daddy, Yu'er doesn't want to sleep all the time, Yu'er wants to go out for a walk more and see more of the outside world. ”

"Yu'er, sleep more to grow your body, when you sleep enough and grow up, you can always look at the world..."

But Yu'er felt as if she was different from them, the last time Yu'er slept, Sister Lu Ning was still a child, how could she have become an unrecognizable appearance for Yu'er now. ”

"Because Yu'er is different from them, Yu'er will have to do very important things in the future. ”

"Is that so... Daddy... Yu'er is a little sleepy and wants to sleep again..."

When the girl said this, she could no longer stop the sudden drowsiness in her heart, her head tilted and fell down heavily, and the monk beside her was quick to hold the girl's fallen body, and said in her mouth: "Good, soon you can wait for that day." ”

......

Lu Ning, whose full name should be Fang Lu Ning, should be Fang Yu'er's great-great-grandchild according to the genealogy.

As the last lone seedling of the Great Chu relics, she was found by the monk in the Wuguan of Chen Guochang, at that time Fang Luning was lonely, her parents had already died in a civil strife in Chen State, and the monk brought her back, and Fang Yuer, who was very different in generation, but there was no difference in mentality, naturally became friends.

However, Fang Yu'er's physique is special, and she will fall into a long sleep every once in a while, and her body will stop growing, so that when she wakes up again, her childhood companion has been born slim. Things are people, not people, and they will eventually follow this Fang Yu'er, who has not yet become a ghost Bodhi.

For example, after another unknown situation, she woke up again, Fang Luning was already dying, Fang Yu'er hurried over, looking at her childhood playmate with white hair and I was next to the sickbed, she held Fang Yu'er's hand, but she no longer had the courage to call her Sister Yu'er.

She said, "Your Majesty, I am dying. ”

Fang Yu'er didn't know what death was, but an uncontrollable sadness came to her heart, which made her realize that death... It's a very bad thing. So she pulled the hand whose memory should have been as smooth as jade, but in fact it was full of folds like an old tree, and said, "Sister Lu Ning, I don't want you to die, why... Why do you have to die?"

The old woman lying on the sickbed sighed and said, "There is no way... The life of the Fang family is thin, the sins done by the ancestors, the descendants have to pay back, generation after generation, from my parents to my children, we are all paying off the debts of our ancestors, and if I can live until now, I can be regarded as stained with the light of His Majesty. ”

Fang Yu'er didn't quite understand what Fang Luning was talking about, but her weak appearance made the sadness in Fang Yu'er's heart even worse.

She shook her head vigorously, begging the old man in front of her not to die, but the old man could not agree to such a request. She stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Fang Yu'er's eyes, and said, "Your Majesty... Can you promise me one thing?"

Fang Yu'er nodded hurriedly, she said: "Sister Lu Ning, you say, Yu'er listens to you for everything, Yu'er will buy you the best osmanthus cake in the world, and take you to see a good and beautiful silk show..."

Fang Luning smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty can remember the old body, and the old body is already content." She said as she reached out and beckoned to a hidden door behind her, Come out, crescent. ”

So a little girl who looked a little similar to Fang Luning when she was young leaned out of the hidden door timidly, she widened her dark eyes, looked at Fang Luning and then at Fang Yuer, and then trotted all the way to Fang Luning's sickbed, threw herself into her arms, and called out in her mouth: "Mother-in-law." ”

Fang Luning stroked the little girl's head with a doting face, and said comfortingly: "Good crescent, please say hello to Your Majesty." ”

Maybe it was before this, Fang Luning had taught this child, or maybe she was already talented and intelligent, although she was already a little afraid at that time, she still bowed to Fang Yu'er, and said in a lively voice: "Fang Yueya has seen Your Majesty." ”

The look on Fang Yu'er's face was a little puzzled, she looked at the girl, and then at Fang Luning.

"This is my granddaughter, who is only five years old this year. In the days when His Majesty slept, my indisputable child did not have such a good life as the old body after all, and I couldn't survive the curse brought by that life, and I died early, and my daughter-in-law was also miserable, pregnant with a crescent moon, and was devoured by the demonic energy that this child was born with, and I went to look for my son a few months ago. The old body wanted to raise the crescent moon for my son, but this body couldn't survive after all, so the old body had a reluctant request. Although there is a hall master, after all, he is full of things, so the old body wants to ask His Majesty to take care of this child occasionally in the days to come, lest she live alone in this world, go astray, and lose His Majesty's face. ”

At that time, Fang Yu'er had lived for many, many years, but her heart was no different from that of a child, she didn't know how to take care of a child, but she nodded without any hesitation and agreed to Fang Luning's request at that time. And the old man who got this answer seemed to have let go of the last bit of thought, and closed his eyes on the sickbed with a satisfied and reassuring smile at that time, and since then... He never woke up again.

......

From that day on, Fang Yu'er had a little follower beside her.

She called her Sister Crescent, and she called her His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

It was also from that day that Fang Yuer's body never slept for a long time. As the monk said, after a long slumber, her time is quietly coming.

The two girls grew up and played together, just like her mother-in-law was by Fang Yuer's side back then, Fang Yueya was always by Fang Yuer's side. Ten years later, although the monk always asked her to practice this or that exercise and read some books that she didn't seem to understand, her life was still comfortable, at least much better than the hundreds of years of muddy time before.

Fang Yu'er thought that such days could go on forever, until one day, the crescent moon fainted while playing in the city with her...

"Dad, what's going on?" After sending Fang Yueya back to the hall gate, Fang Yu'er looked at the black-clothed monk in front of her eagerly, and asked in her mouth.

The monk did not answer her question, but reprimanded: "How many times have I said that you are not allowed to call me father." ”

This was the rule that the monk set for her after Fang Yu'er woke up that time, Fang Yu'er didn't understand why this was so, but under the monk's repeated compulsion, she still forced herself to change her words. It was only at this time that Fang Yueya's condition was critical, and in a panic, she called out her former name again.

"The hall master... What happened to the crescent moon?" Fang Yu'er had to hurriedly change her words at that time and asked.

The monk took a deep look at the woman lying on the sickbed, then sighed and said: "In order to continue the exhausted national fortune, the Fang family listened to the method of the divine seed given by the Taiyin Palace, exhausted the national strength and the only remaining national fortune, and created a half-demon body for the Fang family, but although the body is a half-demon, the divine soul is a mortal. It is difficult for mortal souls to inherit the body of the gods, so the bodies of the descendants of the Fang family have such hidden dangers, once the disease occurs one day, there is only one way to die. ”

"The father of the crescent moon, that is, Fang Luning's son, also died young because of this..."

Fang Yu'er didn't understand the relationship very well, she just asked again, "Then how can I save her?"

To this day, she still can't forget that day, the reassuring smile on Fang Luning's face when she closed her eyes, she didn't want to live up to that smile.

The monk shook his head: "There are only two methods, one is to find the real half-demon soul and refine it into her soul, and the other is to take the demon king's essence blood and inject it into her body, there is no other way." ”

Although Fang Yu'er is not familiar with the world, she also understands that the former, there is no real half-demon in this world, so naturally she can't find such a soul, and the latter, the demon monarch has been sealed in the realm under their respective care by all forces, and it is more difficult to obtain it than to ascend to the sky.

Fang Yu'er was suddenly deflated, and said with a lonely face: "Is there no other way?"

A divine light flashed between the monk's eyebrows at that time, he looked at Fang Yu'er, and then said word by word: "Of course there is." ”

Fang Yu'er was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "What way?"

"You are also the queen of the Fang family, but you can avoid such a situation, the reason is that I found an incomparably pure divine remnant soul for you in the depths of the void that the 100,000 mountains in the western realm turned into, and refined it into your divine soul, so I saved your life. At this moment, as long as I take a little from your divine soul and refine it into her body, I can temporarily save her life. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yu'er nodded again and again almost without thinking: "I am willing, as long as I can save the crescent moon, I am willing to do anything." ”

When this answer came out, the corners of the monk's mouth hooked up a vague smile, and he continued: "But this can only save her life temporarily, if you want to save her, you have to go to the Demon Monarch's essence blood." ”

"And if you want to get the essence blood of the Demon King, you have to practice hard, and memorize the books I asked you to memorize. ”

Fang Yu'er didn't notice the strange appearance of the monk at that moment, she didn't suspect him, she just asked curiously, "Is this okay?"

"Of course not, you still have to muster up that determination, perseverance, and the courage to face everything you need to face for this, can you?"

At that time, Fang Yu'er didn't quite understand what the things in the monk's words meant to her, but she looked at the girl with a weak expression on the sickbed, thinking about the old man's instructions when he was dying, and that little hesitation was quickly covered by these things, so she nodded heavily and said, "I can!"
