2) Hope spiral

【Storm Ocean, the main island of the Hilo Islands, Heyanfang】

Recently, I have been dreaming, dreaming of the chaos and darkness when the "Eighteen Kings of Kyushu" stood together, and the mercury rain when Heishui Roufei descended on Chang'an...... Then I saw the unexpected and tragic blood sacrifice of the evil lord planted by the old enemy, the pink afterimage of the fall of the beloved, and the death of friends one after another...... The familiar faces and figures only left a long-standing hatred.

Such a familiar life, just like that, is only a remnant of things condensed by feelings. It's all the love of them that I know, but it's no longer them.

Then, let me remember you as you were, and let me inherit your hatred. Condense your surging ideas into a stone tower, accumulate them all into the cornerstone, and become the driving force for my struggle, let me inherit it, your hopes.

But my power has only reached this level, and I feel that I am trapped in more and more resentment, and even I am about to turn into a stone in it. However, even so, it is time to be satisfied, to be able to incarnate as a cornerstone to hold others up......

"Sir, sir?" the woman's cautious and urgent voice came, pulling my petrified consciousness back at once.

“...... Dancing Pheasant?"

"Sir is too tired, isn't he?" asked me with concern.

"Slightly tired, thanks for the concern. "I looked around and saw the ruins of towns that had been torn by the storm and the waves scattered in the night like a continuous, hollowed-out tomb, and the faint lights of my comrades.

"With Shiloh, we can do so much more. Mai Yan said softly.

"yes. Feeling my strength gradually returning, I smiled at her.

"We'll take care of the restoration and construction here, sir...... Why don't we go back and get some rest?, our souls can't get tired at this time," she looked at me uneasily, "It's too hard to 'light and shadow', and the influence of your courtyard ......"

I could only smile wryly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it, after all, I haven't lived enough." So, when the initial restoration work is successfully completed, I will go back to the 'Demon King Capital' to tidy up my courtyard." Everything was fine, I was only briefly decadent. ”

It doesn't matter what I become. More than these, I am even more worried about the group of children who have high hopes. They are really too small, and we still have to take care to protect them in the current hostile environment. And I really should have gone to see my yard of resentment......

——·——

- Zhongzhou, the capital of the demon king

At the same time, the children who had not long returned to the Demon King Capital had already been driven to further study.

"Except for Zhou Xuesong, who is conducting the qualification assessment of the 'Heavenly Punisher', the other little ghosts are all learning......" He Yanfang's loyal and cold little assistant, the hydrogen element, made the "broken spirit" seriously consider, "He must ask them how they have learned, I still have to go and see ......"

He always looks like he has lost three souls, but he doesn't delay in acting. He soon found Paris and Zhaohua at the foot of the Mountain, their mentor was Emperor Xun Feng Fence.

"Sit...... It is indeed the style of the fence. "Broken" nodded to himself.

"Keep your mind at peace and feel the veins of the wind," the fluttering fence looks like a fairy, and his voice is as refreshing and beautiful as a breeze, "'Su Su is cool and breezy, and I am clear." Drive the smoke to find the stream, roll the fog out of the mountain. There is no trace of comings and goings, and there is emotion. The sunset landscape is quiet, and the sound of relaxation is for you. [1, "Su Su cool breeze...... For the king to loosen the sound": this is the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo's poem "Yongfeng".

After chanting to the apprentice who was meditating, the delicate young man turned around and looked at the "broken spirit" and walked over gently.

"Little Spirit, can I ask you something?" he asked softly.

"Paris Shiloh and Zhang Zhaohua, what are their qualifications?" "Broken Spirit" asked unceremoniously first.

Feng Li was not annoyed: "They are all rare talents, but the evil spirit is so heavy." ”

"Evil spirits? I just thought it was strange, it wasn't a delusion. "Broken Spirit" nodded coldly.

"Zhaohua's words, he admits to being taught by his brother, who is an illegal magician, so I'm not surprised," Feng Li's clear light brown eyes looked at the two apprentices quietly, "but Paris is different. I've heard that she's a decent person and that she has received a formal magical education, but where does that evil come from? I saw her on the night of the feast, and I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. So, did she encounter anything on the voyage?"

"Broken" seriously recalled: "Her performance on the voyage was much worse than expected...... Ah, she was knocked down by the magic resonance during the battle between the two demon dragons, and her body is still very weak. ”

"What do the two demon dragons mean, the nine Black Dragon Kings 'Dimon' and the three Blue Dragon Kings 'La Nina'?" Feng Li frowned.

"yes. ”

Feng Li's frowning eyebrows stretched, but the worry in the center of his eyebrows shifted to his eyes, and sank to the bottom of his pupils: "Thank you." Then I'll continue to get rid of the anger. ”

"Broken Spirit" watched him continue to teach calmly, and after observing it again, he left with peace of mind.

On the side of the mountain stream, "Broken Spirit" saw that Yuan Feilang of Kan Dilang was pointing at the water and gesturing coldly, while Jiang Xuehe and Jiang Yunhe were listening nervously and carefully.

"Still so arrogant, old snake man......" Shattered snorted, while Yuan Feilang turned his cold gaze unhappily.

"Practice on your own. Yuan Feilang dropped the words and slowly approached him with a cold breath.

"The qualifications are average, but the victory is serious, and there will be achievements. Yuan Feilang said coldly, "It must be here to supervise, just reply like this, go quickly!"

"Hmph......" Shatter turned away unhappily.

Halfway up the mountain, away from Emperor Yanwu and Qin Yueming.

"Xiao Ming, I like this kid, he is very serious and hardworking, at first I thought he didn't have the passion for fire, but he still has a sense of strength when he fights!

On the other side of the mountainside, Emperor Yan Qingqing and He Qihui.

"Quite a reckless boy, but the ability is still okay. If you have time to teach, you will probably make a difference. ”

A little further up, Emperor Zhen and Alicia.

"Ellie is my only apprentice, and with her, I don't want to take in any other apprentices. ”

Then, Emperor Kun and Han Feng, Ivan, Atayal, and Selena.

As soon as Shatter saw them, the incomparably young Ha Xiu in the sword halberd array smiled and threw a cold eye blade at him. Ivan, they could only smile at him in embarrassment.

"Don't interfere with my lessons, little paper man. Cute and cold, the incredible Kun Diyan said with a smile.

"Four apprentices, if you don't ask, you'll be in trouble. "The crumbling drives the hydrogen in the air," said the old snake man, and he squeezed out a comment to me. ”

"I'm better than him. Hazy Xiu's smile was half innocent and half evil, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, the mountain rock next to him turned into a giant spear!

"Don't use force!" Han Feng shouted in a panic, "Master, just make a comment, let's continue the class!"

It's four sentences. Haoxiu looked at Han Feng with a smile, and Han Feng shook violently in fright, "Charging rhinoceros or something, are you happy to report it like this?

"Charging rhinoceros......" Han Feng turned his back in a big blow.

"Master......" Ivan smiled bitterly, "I said, I have the ultimate ability to burn jade and kill with one blow, I can summon ......"

"Don't die. Hazy Xiu interrupted him coldly, and then waved his hand at Shattered Spirit, "No comment, go." ”

Shattered shrugged, causing the talismans to rattle.

He reluctantly turned to the top of the mountain to see the last pair of master and apprentice-

Emperor Qian, Du Chongxiao and Harden.

He felt the soaring killing intent before he reached the top of the mountain, and when he reached the top, he saw that Chongxiao and Harden were facing each other angrily.

"Give me a bird. Raising his chin, he commanded.

Harden turned his head sideways in disgust, first untied the demon knife "thin red", and then the demon breath rushed out, and he immediately turned into a tall and elegant bird, shaking the gorgeous feathers and tilting his head to look down at the sky.

Chongxiao was disdainful: "Cut...... It's too tender! There's no majesty at all, and if you had robbed me of a woman back then, I would have slaughtered you!"

Harden's eyes were so red that they seemed to be dripping with blood, and his wings and long legs showed great majesty and murderous aura!

"It's pretty much the same!" Chongxiao immediately pressed his small hand, "Now jump for me!"

"Lao Du, are you crazy? You don't look like you're a disciple. Broken couldn't help but sigh.

"That's it, little Harden, we don't need him to teach us!" the synth beast in the demon knife also shouted.

"What are you afraid of! This kid can already fly, and he can't die! Do you have time to learn slowly? You see, after Xin Li slowly taught the general, the general is still a waste of firewood!"

"What will happen to Zhou Xuesong when he hears it......" Harden snorted coldly, opened his wings in annoyance and jumped, stretched his wings in the air, flapped his wings twice and then returned to the top of the mountain, and then proudly swooped, ascended, and circled above Chongxiao's head!

When Harden swooped down again, he closed his eyes, and Chongxiao waved his sleeves in the strong wind, throwing out a wave of silver needle rage!

Harden let out a scream of horror and rage, flapping his wings sharply to the side to dodge the needle tide!

"If you can't hide, you'll die! This is a new special training!" Suddenly opening his eyes, Chongxiao swished out poisonous needles and poison darts from his sleeve, showing no mercy!

"Du Chongxiao, you despicable bedbug! I'm going to kill you!" roared, and Harden dodged left and right, hovering high in the air.

"Good little Harden, shoot him!" Dimon shook his sword and gave him all his support.

"Do you think you can't fight in a high place? I'm 'Poison Zhengliao'-'Zhengliao'! No matter how far I go, I have to die!" Chongxiao also shouted, pushing his palms and making a move, "Take it!"

The compressed air bomb exploded next to Harden, triggering a new round of swearing from Harden.

"Hey......" Shatter felt incredulous, "Do you really want to play with your life?"

"Die! and these...... Hey, count you over, get out of here!" Chongxiao didn't stop until he had enough trouble, "Teach you to be a 'half-adult bird'!"

"Don't listen to you, you must be fooling me again!" was still cursing in his mouth, Harden still glided down, Ling Yu turned into red magic dust and dissipated, and he landed lightly.

He gasped and glared at the harsh little master dissatisfiedly: "Teach quickly! I don't want to waste my life with you anymore!"

"I don't want to waste my life in the face of your stinky face!" Chongxiao replied in a vicious voice, "Manifest your wings!"

"Do you need to teach me what I know!" cursed and fiddled with himself for a while before Harden manipulated the magic to reveal his wings under the guidance of Shatter.

"Hmph, there's no skill to speak of. Gather the magic in your back, and spread it!" scoffed at Harden's efforts, and Chongxiao himself embodied insect wings.

His wings were thin and transparent, shining faintly in the winter shimmer, and they were as crystal-like and beautiful as crystals, which made him a lot cuter.

"See, how?" he asked Harden, proudly spreading his wings slightly.

Harden looked at him with a strange look.

After a while, Harden spoke: "Your demon form is ......"

"Do you think I'm great?" smirked, and Chongxiao smiled rarely.

Harden couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Big fly?"

Chongxiao's expression froze instantly.

In the midst of Harden and Dimon's laughter, Chongxiao sneered surprisingly calmly.

"Harden Tesla. He squeezed out a smile.

Harden laughed as he spread his wings.

"Die!" The small body cannonball is as explosive as a small cannonball, and it is flying hard!

Next, the entire mountain could hear the sound of the master and apprentice scolding each other.

After tossing for a while, Harden fell to Hazy's side.

Haoxiu looked up at him: "Are you done with the class?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb," Harden was quite scared of Ha Xiu, "Lao Du is crazy, I'll hide for a while." ”

He sighed again: "I'd rather be your apprentice...... How did Sally learn? She's my combat partner. ”

"Yes, it's just that it's covered by your light, let's fight separately in the future. Hawn replied immediately, and Harden pouted.

Hearing the sound of the sky roaring closely, Harden had to take off again.

"Yo, how is my sweetheart learning?" Ataya smirked and poked Selena, "Enviable, Sally." ”

"Atayal!"

"Don't be shy, I'd love to have a boy care about me. Ataya smiled teasingly.

Ivan immediately raised his hand: "Master, how is my sister learning?"

"You don't count!" Knocking down the unscrupulous brother with a punch, Ataya smiled at Haw-Xiu, "Master, let's continue the lecture." ”

——·——

Meanwhile, Cedar is being tested by Jean.

"As you know, I don't have much more to introduce. After a brief introduction in shame, Cedar lowered his head.

He just took the opportunity of Jean's phone call to read the profile of the newcomer who had passed, and the profile he got in his hand belonged to a young man named Sun Rin.

This look made Cedar feel strongly inferior, and he saw that this newcomer named Sun Rin was extraordinarily powerful.

Jean came back and put away Sun Rin's resume, and looked at Cedar with a smile: "You don't seem to have any confidence at all, Komatsu." Don't be so scared, we're optimistic about you. ”

Cedar smiled wryly.

"Personally, I think that as long as you find something to cherish, you will be strong and courageous. As long as you make an effort, you will have a chance to change the status quo," Jean's magical eyes smiled slightly, "You are really too small, too small, you must protect yourself...... Komatsu, why don't I teach you a spell?"

Cedar's eyes widened in curiosity.

Staring into Cedar's eager eyes, Jean smiled kindly, "That's the secret of my uncle, the 'Ghost Boy Boy'. Uncle Shi was bullied so badly when he was a child, and what gave him strength at that time was—"

His eyes shone with a mysterious brilliance, and his lips with beautiful lines gently spouted the words: "Ameiludikasonalu, anowakimiluxifa!"

"Ameiludika ......" Cedar fumbled with the pronunciation in confusion.

"Well, Ameiludikasonalu, anowakimiluxifa!" Jean continued to smile and repeat.

“...... Ameiludikasonalu，anowakimiluxifa!”

"Correct. Think about it when you're upset, and then work hard, right?" Jean began to write comments for him, "You passed, and the reason was - potential. The children I recommend have unique talents, and you are no exception. As for what I saw, allow me to keep it a secret. Okay, let's go and practice. ”

——·——

Cedar walked out the door and immediately met the expectant gaze of Emperor Gen Xinli.

Looking up in shame, Cedar smiled in response to the gaze without a trace of disdain and boredom: "Please advise, senior Xin Li......"

"Just call my sister. Xin Li pinched his face dotingly, "Do you feel a lot of pressure? We all unconsciously ask you children to be strong, and transfer the hopes that we can't carry to you......

“...... No, because we'll fulfill your wish with you!"

"You'll do it, let me teach you, my secret technique. Xin Li let go of her hand, her peaceful strength as a flower that softly permeated the air and the land.

"My sister's secret technique is ......"

The delicate lines of jade green stretched on the surface of the ground, and Xin Li looked at the mountain not far away in the gradually expanding soft green light: "'Jiling of Wu You'." ”

"'Goyu-no-Yoshiling'......" is a strange name, but Cedar thinks it's so warm. He suddenly thought of the peach tree from this name—

(If it is the peach capital tree mentioned by the predecessors of the spring god Jumang, with its 3,000-mile stretch of branches and leaves, it must be able to proudly declare to people that "this is the auspicious mountain of Wuyu"...... ）

In the spiral of fate, generations of warriors fought hard and still stood tall in the tragedy of reincarnation. Now, the immature new generation of warriors is carrying their hopes, looking up and looking forward to the challenge, the top of the spiral - the pale blue sky dome!

Note 1: "Cool breeze...... For the king to loosen the sound": this is the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Bo's poem "Yongfeng".

Preview: "No, you're going to come for real?"

"Nonsense, of course I'm going to do bad things if I can call you out, your general title is the only gold medal for avoiding death!"

"Don't rub it off, let's hurry up!"

In the middle of the cold night, Cedar was dragged out by Harden and Ivan for "adventure".

They stood on the deserted path of the ancient capital, and in front of them was the vermilion gate of the solemn ancient mansion—

"He Mansion", the hidden residence of the white sage.

"I'm enough to scrap firewood, if I get caught......" Cedar looked around uneasily, covering her face with a scarf in her heart.

Harden snorted disdainfully, "It's not going to get caught." Besides, don't you want to see it, your idol's 'court of grievances'. ”

Cedar nodded reluctantly: "I really want to see ......"

"Let's go!" Immediately spreading his wings, Harden grabbed Cedar and Ivan, and flew into the mansion with ease.

"Ah......" was immediately stunned, and Cedar shrank behind Harden and Ivan in fear.

It's a very large courtyard, but at the same time, it's very small.

Because, everywhere they looked, there were stone towers, and the forest was like a ghostly forest garden.

It's already a demon realm, and this courtyard is full of malice, like trying to condense the people who enter the hospital into a stone tower.

That's right, every stone tower exudes an air of sorrow and hatred, whether it's pentagonal, hexagonal, or octagonal...... Each exuded a fierce hatred, a deathly resentment that overflowed from the ghostly fire enshrined in the tower, filling the cold courtyard.

"It's scary......" Cedar felt creepy.

"Definitely. Ivan also tightened his body.

Harden wordlessly slowly steadied the moss-covered stone steps, walking among the stone towers that glowed like tears.

Cedar they hurried to follow.

Harden turned back to them and sneered: "It's nothing......"

As he spoke, he stroked the icy stone tower with one hand.

The blue flames of the stone tower suddenly flourished, turning into blue mist and spreading!

"What's going on......" Harden himself was shocked.

“...... Is it raining?" Ivan looked up confusedly.

“...... Hey, where are we?" the fog lifted, and Cedar looked around in a panic to find them standing on the stone street.

The rain was pouring down and forming a mist that stained everything hazy. The low-hanging branches on the windowsills of the old buildings also drip with water, making a splash on the stone surface.

“...... Probably, he was brought into the world of resentment of the owner of the stone tower. Harden frustrated his hands, "Well, it's my fault." ”

"Leave it alone, someone's coming. Ivan peered down the street.

"Who? Do you think we'll know who this guy is?" Harden looked at him as well, and then let out a voice in surprise, "Ah......hh

Cedar looked at her gaze suspiciously, and then froze—

The boy ran over, and the cold rain hit his handsome face, making his light smile seem to be happy and sad.

"Teacher Petra......" Harden watched in amazement as the beautiful boy ran past him, and the afterimage shattered in the stone water.

"Hey, Petra!" someone was shouting from behind, "Where have you be......en?

The beautiful boy's smile was as illusory and vague as a dream, but his voice was so clear: "Yes." ”

"Which girl touched your heart made of stone?" Harden looked at the teacher with a complicated expression as he listened to the words of a thousand years ago.

The boy's blue eyes looked into the depths of the gloomy rain clouds ahead, where there was an old castle.

Harden sighed and muttered, "I already knew, the face I hated to the bone, that woman's past life—"

The voice of hatred, the voice of love, coincide with the name of the girl thousands of years ago-

"Miss Nellie Lister ......"
