Chapter 1: The Legend of Baoding
The clouds are beginning to bloom, the mist is misty between the mountains and peaks, and the hazy slightly exudes abundant heaven and earth aura.
Tens of thousands of rosewood and linden trees grow tall in the mountains, with dense and verdant branches and leaves, growing freely and staggered, forming a natural verdant barrier.
In the depths of the dense forest, a scene of clear waterfalls meanders down, like a white line falling from the sky, merging into a bottomless cold pool in the mountain stream, but listening to the sound of the water, like a pearl falling on the plate, tinkling sound.
Occasionally, the sun shines through the shade of the leaves, mottled and sprinkled all over the ground, and the mountain breeze blows, and the jumping points of light are like lively little white rabbits jumping mischievously, bringing a little vitality to the quiet pool.
Near the cold pool, mixed peanut trees, insects hissing and birds chirping, more quiet and peaceful. The breeze was blowing, and there was a faint sweetness wafting in the air, which had not dispersed for a long time, and I saw that on the sunny side of the pool, there was a sea of purple-blue irises growing like a magic, spreading to the sky.
With bursts of laughter like silver bells from far and near, there was a light and delicate figure that floated to the edge of the cold pool. She wore a light green feather gauze skirt with colorful butterflies embroidered on the neckline and sleeves, which was elegant and smart.
But no matter how gorgeous the dress is, it is only a foil for the girl after all. The girl smiled lightly, with a pair of cute little pear vortices hanging from her lips, and her flowing hair was like silk with a fine texture fluttering gently with the breeze. She walked lightly towards the sea of irises near the cold pool, her clear eyes staring intently at one of the flowers.
There was a newborn fleur-de-lis, and the flowers were very delicate, and the tender yellow stamens stretched freely in the petals, giving off a clear fragrance.
"Haha, you're finally blooming!" the girl seemed to be very familiar with this irise, and couldn't help but smile when she looked at its blooming flowers. Soon, as if she had noticed something, she crouched down and examined the rhizome of the irise, and found that the roots had withered somewhat.
The girl took out a handful of green crystal sand from the sachet she carried with her, and carefully covered the rhizome of the irises.
When the yellow rhizome comes into contact with the crystal sand, it is immediately tightly adsorbed into it, and the iris grows at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, seven green branches were split from the rhizome, and the branches were full of flowery bones.
The girl was just about to clap her hands and applaud, when she suddenly heard an anxious and old voice from behind her, "Little Ash, Little Ash, where have you been?"
"Mama, I'm here. Xi Xiaoshen hurriedly got up and waved at the old man who was walking towards her, and when the old man approached, she pointed to the colorful irises and shouted excitedly, "Look, I saved this dead flower." ”
The white-haired Mama Luo was originally tired and out of breath in order to find her, but as soon as she heard her voice, she couldn't help but laugh dotingly: "I said a long time ago, our little gray is amazing, and one day it will shock the three worlds of people, demons, and gods, and this sea of flowers is just the tip of the iceberg." ”
"Mama, do you say there is really a god in this world?" Xi Xiaoshen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, and stepped forward to hold Mama Luo's arm, "I don't want anything else, I just want to be a little demon girl quietly, and wait here for my father and mother to come back." ”
Mama Luo saw Xi Xiaoshen's yearning and wanted to say something, but the words stopped when they came to her mouth, so she could only gently stroke Xiao Ash's head with pity.
At this moment, the iris beside them suddenly burst into a crystal, crisscrossing the veins of the leaves surging with dense silver light, like ancient and tedious runes.
It turned out that the iris had already become spiritually after being carefully cared for by Xi Xiaoshen, and the flowers would sense any changes in the Qingyu Mountain, and these lights were indicating the coming turmoil.
Xi Xiaoshen turned his head to look at the fleur-de-lis, thinking for a moment, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and said softly: "Mama, hurry back, no matter what movement you hear, don't show up casually, wait for me to come to you." ”
"Xiao Ash, you must be careful...... "Mama Luo wanted to speak and stopped, even if she was reluctant at the moment, she could only choose to leave, she watched Xi Xiao Ash grow up, and naturally knew that her demonic power was extraordinary.
In the past sixteen years, they have lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and there is no quarrel with the world, but there are always monsters and monsters from time to time. As an ordinary person, Mama Luo can only reluctantly accept the protection of Xi Xiaoshen at such a moment.
After all, the fight between monsters and beasts is extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may endanger your life. Mama Luo was afraid of dragging her down, so she didn't say anything more, and hurried back to the hut where they lived.
"Boom la la ......" There was a sound of startled birds flying overhead, and Xi Xiaogray raised his eyes to look in the direction where the birds flew up, and his body flew away like lightning. At the moment when she jumped up, the colorful butterflies embroidered on the neckline and sleeves of her dress also spread their wings and flew away, shuttling freely through the forest, leading her to find the traces of the trespassers.
Suddenly, Xi Xiaoshen found a strange aura fluctuation in the Jade Belt Valley, she raised her hand to brush her head full of green silk, took off the cyan hairband about a foot long, and injected wisps of demonic power from her fingers.
Then, with a flick of her wrist, she threw out the hairband, and the hairband fluttered and flew like dyeing the purest color of the sky, extending and gradually merging with the blue sky, laying down the most sensitive defensive circle.
At the same time, Xi Xiaogray's clear eyes became brighter and brighter, and it seemed that she could see through the hazy fog to all corners of the surrounding area.
Unexpectedly, this time it was not a demon beast that came, but a group of middle-aged and elderly men wearing dark blue robes and holding dust. These people looked up at the mountains and forests and pointed, and Xi Xiaoshen jumped onto a nearby red sandalwood tree, and his ears trembled slightly, and he could clearly hear their conversation.
"I don't know who is spreading the news, claiming that the legendary Tianyuan Baoding is hidden here, but we have been looking for a long time, and we haven't found any Baoding!"
"Could it be that the spies of the demon clan discovered this secret and didn't dare to take risks, so they instigated the disciples of the major sects to die! ”
"Whether someone deliberately spread it or not, if the rumors are true, whoever can get Baoding will be able to get the supreme divine power, which may not be an opportunity for us demon hunters to practice diligently......"
Xi Xiaohui let out a disdainful snort from her delicate nose, she has lived in seclusion in Qingyu Mountain for many years, she is familiar with the surrounding grass and trees, and has never seen the so-called Tianyuan Baoding!
This group of sect disciples who are idle and have nothing to do, in addition to making trouble with the rights and wrongs of the demon clan behind their backs, can only beat the little monsters who have no cultivation.
For example, the little white dog and the little black cat that blended into the crowd, these two little demons may have too weak a sense of existence, and they were not taken seriously by those demon hunters.
Yu Xiao Gray looked at the little white dog among them with interest, fluffy and round, looking like a rolling snowball. Its short legs seemed to have been wounded, and it caught up with the crowd with a deep and shallow foot, staring at everyone who passed by.
Whoever gives it a good look or a little more look, it immediately shakes its head, sticks out its tongue and wags its tail, and jumps around in the hope of getting a little love.
Unfortunately, everyone was busy on the road, and no one wanted to stop and touch it, watching it keep rubbing around at their feet, and some people even got annoyed with it, and kicked it out when they raised their feet.
